HOMECOMING FUNDING DENIED Next year's Homecoming will be the 100-year anniversary of the celebration, but that didn't factor into the Senate's decision to deny the Homecoming Steering Committee $2,300 of student funds. Senate rule 8.2.5.4.1 states "No funds from student fees shall be allocated or apportioned to any corporation, organization, or group that is not open de facto to all University of Kansas students." The Homecoming Steering Committee's membership is not completely inclusive. "It is not open to all students and has an application process that denies people, therefore they should not be digible for funding," said senator Josh Dean, who is also the Finance Committee chair. The Senate's decision didn't come without opposition. Senator Aaron Dollinger said Homecoming itself is open to all students and the committee shouldn't be punished for applying for funding the wrong way. "Any single person can go to a Homecoming event," Dollinger said. "The way they went about applying for this money hurt them in reality. And we are punishing a group because of that." Dean contended that the group was advised and given ample time to set up an open group that would be open to all students and be eligible for funding. "I don't think anyone here is saying Homecoming is bad," Dean said. "We have to follow our rules." Homecoming has been funded by Student Senate in past years, but each staff looks at the rules differently according to Student Body President Libby Johnson. "We've always had this rule? Johnson said. Either the interpretation has been different in the past, or it hasn't been brought to the chair to the extent that it is now. RIGHTS CHANGES DELAYED Also on the agenda for the Senate meeting was a bill to amend the student Code of Rights and Responsibilities. If approved, the changes would have updated the code to extend protection of student expression to the Internet and clarify rules for students living in University housing. But Johnson expressed concern that the change still restricted students privacy in University housing, so Senator and Rights Committee chair Aaron Harris moved to push the bill back for discussion in the committee. "The point isn't to bulldoze the bill through Senate, Harris said. "The fact that someone brought up a point that we had not thought of tells me we need to look at this thing a little bit more." CHANCELLOR UPDATES SENATE Before Senate voted on anything, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little updated senators on the University's goals and took questions. Gray-Little said a big focus for administrations' Bold Aspirations strategic plan is to "enhance the quality of the undergrad experience" by lowering general education credit hour requirements for students. Along with telling students to be informed about a curriculum transition committee, Gray-Little encouraged them to give feedback through an online survey. Gray-Little also noted the University is planning to expand the School of Engineering and continue the medical student loan program. Gray Little declined to comment on a full page ad in the Kansan about a KU professor that was deemed tenure. — Edited by Katie James GREEK LIFF SCHOOL DANCE SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS DANCE SCHOOL DANCE SCHOOL DANCE CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN Chad Huston, playing Genie Pete, strikes a pose during dress rehearsal for Your Wish Is My Command, Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Kappa Psi's original one act musical in Kansas' 63rd annual Rock Chalk Revue.

Recidivism is defined as a released prisoner's re-incarceration. "We lock people up and think that if we punish them, they will somehow learn not to do this anymore, but when you remove someone from their social support, family, jobs and their kids, you have multiple effects on the offenders and all the people in their social sphere," said Margaret Severson, professor of social work and conductor of the study. The study looked at Kansas prison re-entry programs designed to provide convicts resources for making the transition from prison back into the community. The study found that prisoners receiving assistance had a recidivism rate at 30 percent. Those that didn't have assistance had a similar rate, but the majority of those were caused by probation violations. "The assumption is that if you break a rule, it's somehow related to criminal behavior," Severson said. "It needs to be better substantiated between the decision to revoke parole and the actual risk for criminal behavior." Although Severson is continuing her research, a lack of funding and social work students interested in prison research makes progress more difficult. Society, as well as students are not as interested in prison reform in spite that two million people are imprisoned in the U.S., the highest per capita in the world, said Severson. Severson does see this research as benefiting positive prison reform. "This research is a way we can inform people about how we ought to use prisons and the community's responsibility." Severson said. The Kansas Department of Corrections already shifted the way they view equiping all inmates to rejoin society. Kim Bruns, project coordinator for justice research for the University, sees the resources of education, drug rehabilitation and housing assistance as beneficial, even with the unchanged rate of recidivism. "Going back is what we measured, but what we aren't able to measure is what they had accomplished while they were out of prison," Bruns said. Severson hopes that efforts to reform changes what crimes ought to be punished, how rehabilitation should be handled and how communities view inmates as many prisoners lacked basic social and economic resources growing up. Society has a responsibility for all of its members, including the imprisoned, Severson said. "In many ways, it is the rehabilitation area that the importance of human rights and social justice come together." Severson said.

P PoliticalFiber.com Kansas tax proposal questioned by critics We pay taxes every day, but proposals going through the Kansas legislature could shift the tax burden more toward college students who work part-time and recent graduates. Gov. Sam Brownback and House leadership have suggested proposals to keep the sales tax rate at 6.3 percent and raise income taxes for individuals making less than $25,000 a year. If these proposals pass, many millennials will likely see a dent in their piggy bank. The sales tax rate was scheduled to fall to 5.7 percent in July 2013, but the new proposal would keep it at 6.3 percent. Currently, a student working 30 hours a week at minimum wage makes approximately $11,000 a year. Roughly $5,625 is spent on consumer goods, according to government estimates, meaning the student pays $354 in sales tax. If the sales tax rate were lowered, the student would spend $32 less per year to the government. also affect young workers. Under a bill passed by the Joint Committee on Taxation last week, those making less than $25,000 a year would pay an average of $71.80 more in income taxes, while those making more than $250,000 would pay $1,533.27 less in taxes. Changes in income taxes would While Gov. Brownback says the tax overhaul will help grow Kansas' economy, critics of the proposal disagree. - Erin Heger for PoliticalFiber.com erin@politicalfiber.com FOR MORE INFORMATION: 13874025616 GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES Information based on the Douglas County booking recap POLICE REPORTS - A 37-year-old Lawrence woman was arrested Tuesday at 7:35 p.m. on the 1900 block of Massachusetts Street and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and four counts of possession of a controlled substance. - A 24-year-old Lawrence woman was arrested Wednesday at 3:45 a.m. on the 1400 block of Tennessee Street on suspicion of domestic battery and battery.

Assailants attacked Gamboru Primary School just after dawn and then, a little more than three miles away, razed a newly renovated, secular coeducational school to the ground in the northeastern city of Maidugur, said military spokesman Lt. Col. Hassan Mohammed. He said there were no deaths and that the police were still investigating. The attack comes two days after a man using the nom de guerre Abul-Qaqa and speaking for a radical known as Boko Haram told journalists that the sect was responsible for burning down another primary school in Maiduguri, its spiritual home, as a warning to security agencies not to raid Islamic schools. Meanwhile, gunmen late Monday night attacked a police station and a bank in a northeastern town close to the city of Bauchi where Boko Haram launched a massive prison break in September 2010 that freed about This latest attack occurred in Jama'are, about 125 miles from Bauchi, killing a policeman and wounding another, said Aliyu Suleiman, a town official. 700 inmates. Habiu Adamu, a Jama'a are resident, said he heard multiple blasts coming from different directions at about 10 p.m. Monday, followed by gunshots that lasted for at least an hour. A search team safely detonated 12 explosive devices found in the town after the attack, Suleiman said. Authorities declined to say if they suspect anyone. NORTH AMERICA Former U.S. resident found guilty of helping Al-Qaida GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A former Maryland resident pleaded guilty Wednesday to helping al-Qaida plot attacks from his native Pakistan, reaching a plea deal with the U.S. government that limits his sentence but that his lawyers say could put him and his family in leopard. A lawyer entered the plea on behalf of Maiid Khan at the U.S. base in Cuba. The plea deal, the first reached by one of the military's "high-value" detainees at Guantanamo, says Khan, 32, could serve less than 19 years in prison as long as he provides "full and truthful cooperation," to U.S. authorities building cases against other prisoners, according to Army Col. James Pohl, the military judge. His attorneys wanted details of the plea deal kept confidential. Wells Dixon, one of his civilian lawyers, said Khan feared for the safety of family members in the United States and abroad. "There is a specific, historical basis for the concern," he told the judge. Pohl rejected the request, saying the fact that he had agreed to cooperate was already in the public domain. Khan faced up to life in prison if convicted at trial on charges of conspiracy, murder, attempted murder spying and providing material support for terrorism. Under his plea agreement, the Convening Authority, the Pentagon legal official who oversees the Guantanamo tribunals, has agreed not to approve a sentence that exceeds 19 years as long as he fully cooperates with authorities. If prosecutors determine he has not fully cooperated, the sentence is capped at 25 years. AUSTRALIA Bones of extinct giant penguin found in New Zealand WELLINGTON. New Zealand It was a slender bird, with long wings and a spear-like bill to catch swift ocean prey. And scientists say the first glimpse of the extinct giant penguin species was worth the 26 million-year wait. Experts from New Zealand and the United States reconstructed a fossil skeleton of one of the giant sea birds to reveal a body shape unique from known penguin species with features that have describing it as one elegant bird. The bird they dubbed Kairuki — Maori for "diver who returns with food" — stood about 4 feet 2 inches (1.3 meters) tall and lived in the Oligocene period, about 26 million years ago. The research on Kairuki was published this week in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. The penguin is on the sandy beach, looking up at the dolphin lying on the ground. The dolphin has a large black head and a long tail. The penguin has a white body with black bands around its flippers. The dolphin's eyes are dark. The sandy beach has a few small rocks. There are waves in the background. The first Kairiku bones were discovered 35 years ago in New Zealand by Ewan Fordyce, a professor of geology at New Zealands University of Otago. He recently teamed with Dan Ksepka, a research assistant professor at North Carolina State University, to reconstruct a skeleton from multiple sets of fossils, using a King penguin as a model. Fordyce said the bird's elongated bill may have been useful in catching swift prey. ASSOCIATED PRESS This undated graphic illustration released by University of Otago on Wednesday, Feb. 29, shows a giant penguin called a Kairuku. It's taken 26 million years, but scientists said getting the first glimpse at what a long-extinct giant penguin looked like was worth the wait. Experts from New Zealand and the United States have reconstructed the fossil skeleton of one of the giant sea birds for the first time, revealing long wings, a slender build and a spearlike bill. EUROPE NATO and Afghan officials closer to finishing the investigation on burning of the Quran at U.S. military base KABUL, Afghanistan — A joint investigation by NATO and Afghan officials into the burning of copies of the Quran that triggered riots and more than 30 deaths is nearly complete, and preliminary findings could be released within days, officials said Wednesday. A legal official with the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force said the joint investigation will provide a broad conclusion into the circumstances that led to last week's disposal of a number of Qurans and other Islamic texts in a burn pit at a U.S. military base north of the capital. The official said it also might include some recommendations on how to avoid such actions in the future. Western officials said that the report could be released by the end of the week. The ISAF official said it might also include recommendations for disciplinary action, but those are expected to be included — if necessary — in a more detailed report that will be ready sometime next month. That report was ordered the day after the incident by Marine Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan. Allen can accept the recommendations or make his own, the official said. The investigation is being conducted jointly with Afghan officials. If any action is taken against American troops involved, it would come under the U.S. military justice system, the ISAF official said. The unrest started on Feb.21. Tornadoes and storms result in damage and nine dead. ASSOCIATED PRESS Winds also ripped through the country music mecca of Branson. Mo., damaging some of the city's famous theaters just days before the start of the busy tourist season. HARRISBURG, Ill. — Twisters roared through the nation's heartland in the early morning darkness Wednesday, flattening entire blocks of homes in small-town Illinois and Kansas, killing at least nine people. In this town of 9,000 people in southern Illinois, residents sorted through piles of debris and remembered their dead while the winds still howled around them. Not long after the storm, Darrell Osman raced to his mother's home, arriving just in time to speak to her before she was taken to a hospital with a head injury, a severe cut to her neck and a broken arm and leg. "She was conscious. I wouldn't say she was coherent. There were more mumbles than anything" he said. "She knew we were there." Mary Osman died a short time later. An apparent twister that rolled through Branson seemed to hop-scetch up the city's main roadway. At least 37 people were reported hurt, mostly with cuts and bruises. "We were blessed with several things — the time of year and certainly the time of day, when people were not in their vehicles or outdoors," said Mayor Raeanne Presley, noting that during Branson's peak season, up to 60,000 visitors would have been in the city on any given day and staying in many of the hotels that were damaged. "It if was a week later, it'd be a different story," said Bill Tirone, assistant general manager for the 530-room downtown Hilton hotel, where windows were shattered and some rooms had furniture sucked away by high winds. Hotel workers were able to get all guests to safety. To the north in Stone and Dallas counties, at least 60 homes were damaged or destroyed and at least 17 more people injured, one critically. John Moore, owner of the damaged Cakes-n-Cream's '50s Diner, said the tornado seemed to target the city's main strip, moving down the entertainment district and through the convention center. "The theater next to me kind of exploded. It went everywhere. The hotels on the two sides of me lost their roofs." Back in Harrisburg, where six people were killed, Osman and his sister sorted through debris and chunks of pink insulation at the site of their mother's duplex, looking for photos and financial records. They found 10 old picture slides that were among a collection of hundreds. Some were caked in mud and damaged by water. "My mother was a Christian," Osman said. "I know she's in a better place. That is the only thing getting me through this." In Missouri, one person was killed in a trailer park in the town of Buffalo, about 35 miles north of Springfield. Two more fatalities were reported in the Cassville and Puxico areas. The tornado that barreled through the tiny eastern Kansas town of Harveyville was an EF-2, with wind speeds of 120 to 130 mph, state officials said. Much of the community was left in rubble. The tornadoes were spawned by a powerful storm system that blew down from the Rockies on Tuesday and was headed across the Ohio and Tennessee river valleys toward the Mid-Atlantic region. Corey Mead, lead forecaster at the U.S. Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said a broad cold front was slamming into warm, humid air over much of the eastern half of the nation. At least 16 tornado sightings were reported from Nebraska and Kansas across southern Missouri to Illinois and Kentucky, according to the storm center, an arm of the National Weather Service. Near downtown Branson, a strip mall lay in tatters, its roof missing and several walls collapsed. About 170 boats and several docks were destroyed on Table Rock Lake. Branson has long been a tourist destination for visitors attracted to the beauty of the surrounding Ozarks. But the city rose to prominence in the 1990s because of its theaters, which drew country music stars including Merle Haggard and Crystal Gale as well as other musical celebrities such as Chubby Checker and Andy Williams. It is about 110 miles southeast of Joplin, which was devastated by a monstrous twister last May that killed 161 people. Memories of the disaster fueled residents and guests to quickly take cover after the sirens sounded early Wednesday. "I think so many people from Branson went over to help in Joplin and having seen that, it was fresh on our minds," said Presley, the mayor whose family owns the Presley's Theater on the main strip. "We all reached for our loved ones a little sooner and got to the basement a little faster." Branson leaders insisted Wednesday that the city remains open for business, suggesting that any repairs and rebuilding would happen in a matter of days. Tornado season normally starts in March, but it isn't unusual to see severe storms earlier. This year, two people were killed by separate tornadoes in Alabama in January, and preliminary reports have showed 95 tornadoes struck that month. In neighboring Kansas, the National Weather Service reported brief tornado touchdowns southwest of Hutchinson, and Gov. Sam Brownback declared a state of emergency. WANT FREE ADVERTISING?

LONDON—The childhood homes of former Beatles John Lennon and Paul McCartney, where the pair wrote some of their early songs, will be preserved, the government said Wednesday. Red Lyon Tavern The decision means the homes of one of Britain's greatest song-writing teams will be protected for generations to come. Their work has long been associated with the northern port city Liverpool, particularly because of songs like "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" that celebrated their childhood haunts. 1930s duplex house called "Mendips" in 251 Menlove Ave. from 1945 to 1963 with his aunt and uncle after his parents separated when he was five. McCartney lived in nearby Forthin Road for nine years from 1955. The two musicians held early practice sessions for their first band The Quarrymen while living at these houses, and wrote The Beatles first number one hit, the raucous "Please Me Please," at Lennon's home. Associated Press 944 Massachusetts Street Preservation group The National Trust has already restored the houses to look as they would have done when Lennon and McCartney were growing up.

No lesson is as blatant and direct as his 1971 publication, "The Lorax." In an almost doomday scenario, "The Lorax" looks at what happens to the environment when the last Truffula tree has been cut down. It's a cautionary tale aimed dramatically at young and old. That message is just as strong in the latest animated version of the book, but it has been cushioned slightly by a fun musical soundtrack and a budding love story. Not only will you want to hug a tree after seeing "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," but you will also want to hug a few humans. Unlike the book, this tale of destruction starts with the efforts of 12-year-old Ted (voiced by Zac Efron) to get the attention of Audrey (Taylor Swift). They live in a world where everything is made of plastic and Audrey longs to see a real tree. Ted's quest leads him to The Once-ler (Ed Helms), the lone resident in a barren landscape who relates his tale of greed and destruction. Despite warnings by The Lorax (Danny DeVito), a fuzzy creature who speaks for the trees, the trees From the opening number — a musical flash mob — to a fast-paced chase scene, the screenplay by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul keeps the essence of the original book, but gives it just enough kick to create fast-paced fun. The pair — who also wrote the very funny "Despicable Me" — have created a band of wonderful supporting characters, particularly a trio of goldfish who provide big laughs. 785. 832.8228 Once-ler cuts down the Truffula trees to make an item every one needs. When the last tree falls, the business closes and the world becomes a dark and plastic place. The film's lone weakness is the new villain, Mr. O'Hare (Rob Riggle), who has turned fresh air into a profitable product. The character doesn't fit visually with the Dr. Seuss style, which makes him more of a distraction than an asset. This strong story is visually splendid. Directors Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda — who already had the whimsical visuals that are trademarks of a Dr. Seuss story — make the characters and locations even more Seuss-ian through a solid use of 3-D technology. "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" is unapologetic in its environmental message. No apology is needed when the message is delivered in such a bright and fun manner.

World Book Day honors Austen WASHINGTON — Any Jane Austen fans planning a visit to England around March 1? To celebrate World Book Day, March 1, the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford is displaying two treasures: a cross-stitch needlework sampler said to be sewn by Austen, and a reputed new portrait of the writer. Both will be on display for one day only as part of the "Jane Austen Revealed." Both sampler and drawing are on loan from private collections. According to the press release, the sampler dates from 1787 when Austen was between 11 and 12, and was given to a relation of Austen's family. A note attached to the frame by the owner says that the sampler was "related to Jane Austen the novelist." A reputed new drawing of Austen will also be on display. This authenticity of the drawing has caused debate between Austen scholars and the owner, Dr. Paula Byne. It was the subject of a recent BBC documentary, "Jane Austen: The Unseen Portrait." Along with these, according to the Bodleian Library's website, will also be a handwritten manuscript of an unfinished novel, "The Watsons" and the book one of Austen's juvenile writings. "Volume the First." "Volume" is also available to read in a digital version online. Other World Book Day displays have included the Gutenberg Bible in 2004; the original "Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame in 2007, and, in 2010, J.R. R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit." CELEBRITIES Associated Press MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — As an actress, Lea Thompson considers herself a "long-distance runner" — someone who keeps up a steady pace instead of a sprint. Actress hasn't lost a step "I always felt like my best years would be from 50 to 65 years old," Thompson said. "I don't know why. It was a feeling I had even when I was really young. My kids are kind of all grown up now and I can be in a difference space where I can put everything into it." Just shy of her 51st birthday, the gamin former ballerina could easily pass as a 30-something. In fact, she doesn't look much older than she did in such film as 1983s "All the Right Moves," 1984's "Red Dawn" and of course as Michael L. Fox's mom in Robert Zerneckis' 1985 classic "Back to the future" and the blockbuster's two sequels. Since the 1980s, Thompson has appeared in countless TV movies including the award-winning "Stolen Babies" in 1993 and starred from 1995 to 1999 in the NBC sitcom, "Caroline in the City." She's appeared on Broadway and toured the country in the Sam Mendes-Mob Marshall revival of "Cabaret" and in 2005 began a series of Hallmark Channel "Jane Doe" lighthearted mysteries in which she plays a soccer mom who is actually a spy. Thompson is the first to admit that she has a "good, rich life." Perhaps her personal happiness has been her fountain of youth. Thompson balances her career with her marriage of 23 years to Howard Deutch, the director of her 1987 "Some Kind of Wonderful," and raising two daughters, Madelyn, 20, and Zoey, 17.

Getting the most out of studying abroad CULTURE I spent last weekend in Florence, Italy — home to Michelangelo's "Davide", Botticelli's "Primavera", and Brunelleeschi's awe-inspiring dome. But what stuck with me from that trip wasn't the art. On Saturday, we stayed out so we could go to the midnight bakery. This phenomena is common in Italian student cities. When bakers get to work around 3 a.m. to start preparing the day's bread, they'll sometimes sell pizza and pastries out the side door to drunk students coming home late at night. It's technically illegal for them to be selling outside of regular hours, but at the bakeries I've been to, everyone waiting in line knows how to play the quiet game. Not at the bakery in Florence. There's even a sign on the door written in English asking customers to be quiet. But when I arrived at the door tucked around a corner in a residential neighborhood, I found a group of Americans loudly proclaiming how "sick" the music at The Red Garter had been that night and that their rum and cokes had been "waaaahaaay" too strong. My boyfriend went up to ask them to be quiet. We would never get any pastries if they proceeded to wake up the entire neighborhood. They all laughed. And By Bernadette Myers bmyers@kansan.com then one of them shouted after my boyfriend as he walked away, "Who cares! This is Italv. man!" Some people may associate Florence with "The Inferno" and the birth of the Renaissance. I'm more familiar with it as Mecca for American study abroad students. When most students think of studying abroad in Italy, Florence seems like a logical option. It's smaller, centrally located, and chock-full of Italian art and culture. Who wouldn't want to go live for a few months in the capital of the Renaissance? They're inside of our American fun! They're jealous of our American fun!! But, that's just the problem. Everyone studies in Florence. And a city like Florence is no where near the size of Paris or Berlin. So the result of this American pilgrimage to fulfill the societal requirement for cultural "immersion" is, well, the loss of any form of immersion. Universities like New York University and Syracuse create entire campuses in this already small city. You'll here more English than Italian when walking down the streets. The bars play Lady Gaga and Ultimate Fighting Champion. There's even a restaurant that sells onion rings — something I haven't seen since August. Francesco, a friend of mine who is from Florence, told me that when he was younger, him and all his friends used to go to Prato if they wanted a night out. A ten minute train ride, but worth it to get away from the American students. They're running away from us. So much for breaking down barriers and building a real cross-cultural experience. Italy isn't America's playground But it isn't a pretentious retreat for cultural snobbery either. Italy is a country, like any other, where people work, sleep, eat (maybe a little better than some countries) and generally try to make a living ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN BENEDICK As study abroad students, we should be studying that rhythm, learning to understand it, adopt it, and then maybe add our own American spin on it. As hard as it is to believe, people actually live on those dreamlike streets of Florence. People with a different way of looking at the world than you may see it. And you should care. Not because your University tells you to, or because your art history professor tells you to, or because I tell you to, but because you'll understand yourself better in the process. Those same people may want listen to you too, if you just turn off the Kesha for a few minutes. Myers is a junior in English, Italian, and European studies from Prairie Village. TECHNOLOGY E-readers change publishing industry Set down your double-shot Americano and tattered copy of Huck Finn, there's a new player in the literature game: e-books. Ok, they're not exactly new, but they're becoming widely popular with the advent of tablet computers. By Josh Moreland jmoreland@kansan.com Up until the iPad and subsequent Android competitors, there was a select community of readers who used early generation e-readers such as the Kindle 1. With the explosion of media consumption devices and online consumerism in recent years, there is a debate about the future of the book publishing and its effects on literature. With so many avenues for consumers to purchase their reading content, many large book publishers are scrambling to adjust their business models. For the avid reader, the ability to store thousands of books, PDFs or audiobooks in a single, lightweight device is a huge benefit. E-ink devices like the Sony PRS series or Kindle e-readers use electronic paper and micro beads that reflect light, instead of backlit LCD displays that emit light, which allows for up to two months of battery life between charges. Publishers seem just as confused about the fate of book publishing as many readers. Most purists continue to support printed literature, while a new generation of readers read their favorite classics from tablets and smart phones. The purists will argue that the tactile feel or smell of a new book is a pleasure that technology can never replace. Also, with the recent initiative for digital textbooks at KU and universities around the globe, e-readers are becoming a viable academic tool. Many public libraries, such as Lawrence Public Library, have implemented e-book lending They could also point out that reading text on a backlit LCD screen like those on the Kindle Fire or iPad can be straining on the eyes after a long period of time, and that it ruins the overall feel of reading. While I agree with some of this sentiment, there are many more advantages to e-readers and tablets that a physical book can't match. programs. I find the of being able to lie on my couch and check out a book over my Kindle's WiFi very satisfying. The biggest drawback in the emergence of e-books is their impact on bookstores, large and small. Online retailers, particularly Amazon, are gaining dominance in book sales, whether it's print, e-book, or audiobooks. In fact, one of the reasons Barnes and Noble survived the literature revolution and Borders did not is because they moved large amounts of inventory online and developed its own e-reader, the Nook. That's why it'd be a shame if local favorites like The Dusty Bookshelf and The Raven bookstore, already competing against larger chains, should feel the affects of online retailers. Thankfully, small bookstores and Amazon sell completely different experiences. The former offers convenience and ingenuity, the latter offers charm and comfort, and I think there are enough readers to support both business models in the long run. All in all, the consumers cannot lose in the debate between e-book and print. People have many more options than before, and with all the convenience that e-reader and tablet devices provide it's obvious that electronic literature is here to stay. However, if you're the sentimental type you will probably want to keep purchasing physical editions, which is fine. I think publishers and consumers are often too caught up in the discussion. The important thing is that readers are spoiled with content. I, for one, welcome our new e-reader overlords. Moreland is a junior in accounting from Lee's Summit. SCIENCE New technology boosts the number of inventors Many clubs on campus help students invent and design There is an inventor phenomenon taking the world by storm. These modern hobbyist engineers are commonly referred to as "makers" or "hackers." Hackers are usually associated with electronics whereas a maker identifies people who have projects that are more traditional such as wood working, welding, and crafting. These are everyday people with interests in engineering, electronics, DIY building, computers, and art. If you grew up playing with Legos, K'nex, and amateur chemistry sets, you would fit in perfectly with these groups. Now is the perfect time to be a hobbyist inventor. The Internet and open standards are rapidly accelerating the growth of 21st century inventors. Open standards are technologies built around the premise of freely sharing the technology and its inner workings with the world. Along with open source software, anyone can modify, improve, and use these technologies in their projects. Many times these budding inventors have trouble finding access to mentors and machinery to bring their projects to life. This is easily remedied by joining many of the engineer ing organizations at universities such as KU as well as utilizing local hacker spaces. Hacker spaces provide many of the tools you may need as well as allow you to network with other local inventors to get help on projects. By Daniel Kennedy dkennedy@kansan.com Jayhawk Motorsports is designing and building two formula race cars, one electric and one combustion. Group members can be expected to be engaged in mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering problem solving. Student Organization (PESO) is primarily centered around the maker mentality. The members regularly research and build interesting projects that span multiple disciplines including aerospace, robotics, circuits, fabrication, demonstrations of physics phenomena, as well as just hanging out and having a grand ol' time. KU's chapter of the national American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME, and the KU EcoHawks are two student organizations centered around mechanical engineering. Members of ASME are actively engaged in the group's main project the Human Powered Vehicle Competition. Additionally, they also focus on touring engineering facilities and professional development. The EcoHawks are a senior design group that focuses on sustainable engineering projects. These projects include working with solar cells and solar heating systems as well as building an all electric car. The Physics and Engineering In other parts of the world, a few notable hacker groups are making a big impact. Shackspace Hackerspace in Stuttgart, Germany hosts an international hobbyist engineering group centered around space systems engineering. The group plans to develop a satellite constellation that is free to use anywhere in the world and accessed by open standards so anyone can use it for communication. The proposed satellites would allow anyone in the world to access the internet without the communication passing through government censorship walls. Or if you're interested in a more individual approach, there are many publications that can help you out. Make Magazine, Makezine.com, is a quarterly periodical for hobbyist inventors. Additionally, Hackaday. com is a daily blog that features projects from inventors around the world. These websites have a wealth of knowledge for learning new skills or taking on exciting projects. Many readers may dream of being a great inventor but are apprehensive of taking their first steps. In many cases, a hobbyist inventor must have a background in a wide range of technologies and skill sets. Because of the maker and hacker phenomenon, websites with DIY building projects and tutorials are easy to find and can help you build this breadth of knowledge in entertaining and exciting ways. For engineering students, participating in groups on campus is a great way to improve your understanding of engineering concepts and really cement your knowledge. Becoming a great inventor is no longer reserved to the independently wealthy. Anyone with unwavering determination and a thirst for knowledge can make a difference.

Sutherland made 11 of 24 shots with most of them coming from the elbow of the free throw line or the top of the key. Sutherland also pulled down 10 rebounds for her eight double-double of the season. Aishah Sutherland, senior forward Now with only two guaranteed games remaining on the Jay-hawks' schedule, Sutherland will be one of the two players they will rely in order to get into the NCAA Tournament. Sutherland GAME TO FORGET Monica Engelman, junior guard The last five games have been difficult on Monica Engleman, and it was not much better on Wednesday night. After being named a captain at the beginning of the season Engleman slowly has seen her role diminish on the team. In her 11 minutes of action, she only got off one shot and turned the ball over three times. The Jayhawks are still desperate for a third scoring threat past Goodrich and Sutherland, but it doesn't appear Engleman will get her chance to prove herself this season. TORRÉ BENCHARD QUOTE OF THE GAME Engelman MARK DAVIS "It's very hard and I didn't celebrate because I wanted this win so bad. Once I get a win you'll see me celebrating." Sutherland — Aishah Sutherland, senior forward, on the Senior Night festivities. KEY STATS Angel Goodrich led Kansas with a career-high 11 rebounds. 11 17 Aishah Sutherland scored 17 points in the second half. 19 The Jayhawk outbounded the Cowgirls and scored 19 second chance points. 22 There were 22 lead changes in the game WOMEN'S BASK Jayhawks lose in final minute With 22 lead changes the matchup proved to be a constant struggle between the two squads. RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com "This is not a game we should forget about," Sutherland said. "This is a game we should have won, and we need to win somewhere where people think we're not going to win. This is a game that did hurt us." There wasn't much of a Senior Night celebration for Aishah Sutherland. In fact, the layhawks players and Sutherland mostly displayed blank stares on their faces because they understood the magnitude of this loss. With the 66-63 defeat to Oklahoma State on Wednesday night, Kansas' hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid are now in jeopardy. KansascoachBonnieHenrickson said it was a back and forth game, but with turnovers and the inability to hold a lead hurt the team. The lead Hennickson referred to was when the Jayhawks grabbed a 50-41 advantage over the Cowgirls at the 13:48 mark after a 10-0 run. Throughout the game Oklahoma State was led by sophomore guard Tiffany Bias who continued to attack the basket and slice through the jayhawks defense. Bias was also effective from the free throw line going eight for eight. After an untimely travel by freshman guard Natalie Knight with 11 seconds remaining, the Jayhawks were forced to foul Bias. Once she got to the line she hit two more throws to put the game in the Cowgirls favor. With 26 seconds remaining on the clock, Bias drove the length of the court and drew a foul on Kansas freshman forward Chelsea Gardner. "I thought it was a great performance on her part," Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell said. "I really enjoyed watching her play and have the courage to step up and take tough shots and make plays She ended with a game-high 26 points. "She's a good point guard," Goodrich said. "She drives it to the hole. She's very fast. She's bouncy. Wed stop her, but then shed he'd to the open guy. She just pushed." Some major breaks have to go the Jayhawks way in order to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Now they are in full distress mode. with the game on the line." Most of the night Kansas junior guard Angel Goodrich guarded Bias and tried to drive her for some open shots. Goodrich dued Bias on the offensive and defensive end for most of the night. She made two free throws after getting fouled by Bias with 36 seconds remaining. Godrich ended up the game with 13 points and 11 rebounds for her third double-double of the season. Bias then went onto sink the next two free throws and put the "It's very desperate, and we should have been desperate tonight." Goodrich said.

He gave a short cookie-cutter speech about the off-season, thanked the fans for showing up and supporting the team and rode off the court with one piece of advice: Enjoy the ride. it didn't seem like coach speak because at the time, the layhawks faced more question marks than any Kansas team in recent memory. Freshmen Jamari Traylor and Ben McLemore were ruled ineligible for the season and a so-so recruiting year by Kansas standards left the team without its usual deep pool of talent to draw from. "Even when we started out one-and-two in the league, you could look out there and see Chalmers and Rush and Wright and those other cats, they're pretty good. It'll be just be a matter of time before the light comes on." Self said after beating Missouri last Saturday to clinch a share of the Big 12 regular season title. "I didn't know if the light would come on. I didn't even know if it would flicker after early in the season." A Dec. 19 loss to Davidson in Kansas City raised more doubts about an eight straight Big 12 championship and Self said that heading into Christmas, he and his players didn't really like each other. He even questioned if the players liked one another. They rattled off 10 straight victories after the Davidson game with a bump in the road at Iowa State on Jan. 28 and a tough loss at Missouri a week later. That's been it thought least for now — and the outright conference title was clinched Monday night against Oklahoma State. "It itels amazing because a lot of people didn't think we would be this good this year," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said Monday night. "I think if you asked us at the beginning of the year, our goal is to always win the Big 12 championship." Thomas Robinson said he didn't want the run of seven straight conference titles to end on his watch and he had plenty of smiles after continuing the streak. "We got eight baby, we got eight," Robinson said on Monday. "This one feels good too." The trophy was presented to the team in the visitors' locker room Monday night and it will probably make another appearance for senior night festivities Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse. "The one thing about our players is, just because the roster changes, the expectations don't." Self said. "And they committed to it. They've amazed me, to be real candid." —Edited by Amanda Gage MEN'S BASKETBALL Signee Perry Ellis to watch for next year If you're a Kansas basketball fan and you're not thinking about next year just yet, don't worry. Sports illustrated is doing it for you. Sports Illustrated chose Kansas' 2012 signee Perry Ellis as one of the "Faces in the Crowd" in Wednesday's issue. The section, which highlights some of the top high school athletes for accomplishments in the classroom and on the court, has run in the magazine every week since 1956. Ellis, from Wichita Heights High School, was named a McDonald's All-American in 2011-12 and maintained a 4.0 grade point average. He is a three-time Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year and 6A state champion and is averaging 25.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this season. He signed his letter of intent on Nov. 9, 2011, choosing Kansas over Kentucky, Wichita State and Kansas State. Coach Bill Self has described Ellis, who is ranked No. 24 overall on Rivals.com, as a hybrid forward who can thrive on the perimeter and by the basket. Ellis will begin playing for Kansas next season. Max Rothman FOOTBALL Football team allows students to try out The Jayhawks will allow any Kansas student that has a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or above to try out for the team. The Kansas football team is opening its doors and looking to the Kansas student body to possibly join the Jayhawks' roster. Monday, March 12, position players will report to the Anderson Family Football Complex to get their measurements taken. The tryout itself will begin on Tuesday, March 13, and run through Thursday, March 15. Kickers, punters, long snappers and other specialists have been asked to come to the Anderson Family Football Complex the following week. Starting Monday, March 26. Specialists will be measured that Monday and the tryout will begin on Tuesday, March 27. All times are currently scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Mike Vernon BIG EAST Bearcats' hope for tournament play after win ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — JaQuon Parker scored a career-high 28 points in a take-it-to-the-hoop attack on Wednesday night, leading Cincinnati to a 72-61 victory over No. 8 Marquette that embellished the Bearcats' NCAA tournament chances. The Bearcats (21-9, 11-6) have won six of their last eight, including home victories over then-No. 17 Louisville and Marquette (24-6, 13-4). The Golden Eagles had won five straight, including a 95-78 drubbing of the Bearcats in Milwaukee on Feb. 11. The rematch was a total reversal. Cincinnati repeatedly drove through Marquette's defense for layups, with Parker leading the way. Dion Dixon added 21 points for the Bearcats. Cincinnati's front line dominated with nine blocks, including seven by Justin Jackson. Darius Johnson-Odom scored 18 points, and Jae Crowder added 17 points and 12 rebounds for Marquette, which never got the lead under double digits in the second half. Cincinnati improved to 5-3 against ranked teams this season. It was Cincinnati's most lopsided win over a top 10 opponent since it beat No. 4 Louisville 101-80 on Feb. 22, 2003. Marquette sat three starters, including Johnson-Odom, for the first half of a 61-60 win at West Virginia on Saturday, punishment for violating unspecified team rules. All were back against Cincinnati. The Bearcats honored seniors Dixon and Yancy Gates before the final home game. Gates set a tone early, getting five rebounds before picking up his second foul on a charge at the 16:16 mark. Even without Gates, Cincinnati dominated the boards — it had a 10-3 advantage early — while pulling out to a 19-11 lead. Dixon had a pull-up jumper, a layup and a finger-roll basket during a 10-0 run. Parker took advantage of Marquette's perimeter defense, driving past step-slow defenders for layups as Cincinnati pulled away in the closing minutes of the first half. His 3 from the left corner with 1 second left pushed the lead to 42-26 and left Parker with 16 points. Marquette made its first three shots — all from behind the arc — but missed nine of its next 10, including two air balls. Cincinnati blocked seven shots in the first half, six by jackson. The offensive surge was notable. The Bearcats were coming off their worst scoring game of the season, a 46-45 loss at South Florida on Sunday. During its winning streak, Marteau routinely pulled itself out of deep first-half deficits. The Golden Eagles never made a run after halftime, with Parker and the Bearcats refusing to let up. Parker had a fast-break layup and 3-pointer that pushed the lead to 52-33 in the opening minutes of the second half. Marquette went to half-court pressure to try to force turnovers, but never rattled the Bearcats, who finished with only seven turnovers. BEARCATS 3 ASSOCIATED PRESS BIG 12 Cincinnati guard Dion Dixon (3) drives against Marquette forward Jae Crowder (32) in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Wednesday, Feb. 29, in Cincinnati. Cincinnati beat Marquette, 72-61. Missouri win seals their No.2 ranking COLUMBIA, Mo. — Michael Dixon scored 21 points to lead five Missouri players in double figures and the sevent-ranked Tigers beat Iowa State 78-72 on Wednesday night, clinching the No. 2 seed in next week's Big 12 tournament. Dixon's driving layup with 3:36 left gave Missouri (26-4, 13-4) a 66-46 lead it wouldn't relinquish. Marcus Denmon followed with a 3-pointer and Phil Pressey had a steal and layup with 1:23 remaining to cap a 7-0 run. It was Missouri's 13th Big 12 win, the most in school history as it prepares to leave for the Southeastern Conference next season. Scott Christophers scored eight points in the final minute, including a 3-pointer with 25.5 seconds remaining to close the gap to 76-72. Dixon added two free throws with 15 seconds left. Royce White led Iowa State (21-9, 11-6) with 20 points and nine assists. Associated Press WALTER S.

But for them to go 7-2 on the road, that's pretty special." QUOTE OF THE DAY coach Bill Self on his team's conference road record. FACT OF THE DAY Self has been named National Coach of the Year by Sporting News magazine two times (2000 and 2009) 图 -KUathletics.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Where did Self begin his head coaching career? A: Oral Roberts, 1993-94. KUathletics.com Men's basketball a legacy of success THE MORNING BREW It has been a long road since then, but the one constant throughout the years has been Kansas basketball dominance. More specifically, the Jayhawks have won eight straight conference titles. Eight years ago I was preparing for eighth grade graduation. My dad and I watched every Kansas basketball game and I proudly wore a crimson and blue ribbon in my hair along with my Catholic school uniform to celebrate each Jayhawk victory. By Kathleen Gier kgier@kansan.com As a 20-year-old, those eight years consume 40 percent of my young Jayhawk life. The conference title winning streak stretches back to the beginning of my memories as a fan. For our generation, success is all we have known. There are those years when the team is projected to win it all and other years like this year that are deemed "rebuilding" seasons. But every team has been united in the success of a conference title. This is most clear with a tweet from Mario Chalmers (@mchalmers15) who said, "Congrats to my jayhawks on 8 straight big 12 championships. That's how we do it. Rock chalk baby." It seems like so long since "the miracle shot" and Chalmers' reign in Lawrence, but he too falls under the streak by being planted in the middle, for now. With the constantly changing face of conference play, Kansas has withstood challenges and continued to excel. In fact, the Jayhawks have won 55 titles in five leagues over more than 100 years. Those are the kind of accomplishments that reflect a legacy rather than the number of one-and-dones or Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards. The athletes on each of these legacy teams is part of this and have put their own mark on history. KU Athletics released a video with raw footage from the locker room after the victory. Bill Self told the players to forget about the eight, but focus on their personal titles. He went around the room and rattled off the number of Big 12 titles each player had won during their career. In that moment, he was able to shift the focus from a broader history book number to the personal accomplishments of each team member. Each athlete works hard to be a part of this team and a part of this legacy. This is Kansas' decade of dominance, and the conference titles are just a small part of that. In these eight years, Kansas has had thrilling victories and stinging defeats highlighted by the 2008 National Championship. In these last eight years, I have come to appreciate not only the KU W games, but the connection they have brought between my father and me. We went to the 2003 Final Four and several Big 12 Tournaments, on but a simpler level, we talk on the phone before and after every game. He is a Kansas graduate and Kansas basketball gives us an extra element to bond over. The best teams can span generations and distances. As a self-chosen representative of Jayhawks everywhere, I would like to thank you Bill because the past eight years have been beautiful.

Matson cjmatson@kansan.com It's hard to say goodbye to your loved ones. The emotional reaction to a farewell can trigger a temporary feeling of sadness that can only heal when time elapses. You just don't know when you'll see your loved ones after you leave them for an extended period. It's difficult every time I leave home to go back to school knowing I won't see my mother and sister for a while. The Jayhawks play their last home game of the 2011-12 season Saturday against the Texas Longhorns. As always, the last home game is senior night. This year's senior class includes Conner Teahan, Jordan Juenemann and Tyshawn Taylor. Just about every year on senior day at Allen Fieldhouse, Jayhawk fans chant in a profound manner "one more year", hoping that players consider professional basketball will decide to return for another season at Kansas. Two years ago, it was Cole Aldrich. Last year, it was the Morris twins. This year, it will be Thomas Robinson. Robinson hasn't officially made a decision on whether or not he'll forgo his senior season and enter the NBA Draft, but in all likelihood, because he's regarded by scouts as a lottery pick, he'll leave Lawrence at the end of the season. When Robinson steps foot on James Naismith Court on Saturday, it will be his last time. The Jayhawk faithful consider Robinson one of their own not just because he's a Kansas basketball player, but because they were struck by the tragic loss of his mother, grandmother and grandfather. For a player to blossom into one of college basketball's best players and be in strong consideration to win national player of the year honors after losing three of his closest family members is something to admire. The outpouring of love and support that fans have given Robinson has been beautiful. The bond between the Kansas community and Robinson is stronger than a young Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's inseparable, which will make it emotionally difficult for fans to see Robinson go. If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured. You'd be hard pressed to find a Jayhawk basketball player, in recent memory, who has been more beloved than Robinson. Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance. I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse.

Women's Basketball Information KANSAS 63, OKLAHOMA STATE 66 A NIGHT TO REMEMBER KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com The Jayhawks gathered at center court before taking seats on the bench. They looked blankly ahead past the yellow roses they held to honor Aishah Sutherland on Senior Night. Sutherland walked in with her parents smiling and hugged coach Bonnie Henrickson. The announcer talked about her senior season where she passed milestones in points and rebounds. But this celebration only temporarily numbed the sting of a 66-63 loss to Oklahoma State, Kansas fell to 18-11 overall and 7-10 in conference play. "We wanted to have tears of joy and celebration, but we don't finish," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. There were 22 lead changes and 12 ties in the contest. Kansas went on a 10-0 run early in the second half, but Oklahoma State countered with a 12-0 run of their own. "What hurts the most is that we had a nine-point lead," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "You look up there and have a lead, and then next second they were up by two." Going into the final minute the Jayhawks held a one point lead. With 53 seconds left Liz Donohoe hit a jumper to give the Cowgirls the lead. Kansas struggled to get the ball in and had to burn a timeout. Goodrich knocked down two free throws to give Kansas another lead, but seconds later Tiffany Bias hit two for Oklahoma State. With 11 seconds left freshman guard Natalie Knight drove the ball into the lane, couldn't find an outlet and was called for a travel. That led sophomore guard CeCe Harper to two quick fouls which gave Bias two more free throws. With nine seconds and the ball, Kansas came down in search of a three. In a poetic twist the ball went to Sutherland who was not able to convert at the top of the key. Sutherland led the layhawks valiantly in the second half and scored the first six points after the break for her team. She finished the night with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Sutherland scored the first basket of the game and ended with her eighth double-double on the season. Versatility and consistency were apparent with Sutherland this season with jumpers from the elbow, layups, a free throw and a tipped in a rebound. "I thought she carried us for a while," Henrickson said. "We were going down and we needed some shots up, and I knew I had to be more aggressive to the rim," Sutherland said. Goodrich also finished with a double-double but in a less predictable way. Goodrich, a 5-foot-3 point guard, had 13 points and added a career-high 11 rebounds. Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner added on to career-highs with 10 points and nine rebounds. Harper rounded out the double-digit scoring with 10 points. Kansas shot 38.7 percent from the field and Oklahoma State scored 17 points off 12 turnovers. Kansas won the rebounding battle 40-32 and scored 19 second chance points. 11 SUTHERLAND Russell Stover CANDIES Kansas will face Oklahoma on Sunday in the last regular season contest.

SPRING SPORTS Baseball team looks for clutch hits MAX LUSH Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. mlush@kansan.com The layhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in our league." While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already to nine teams, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. This season, the team has focused heavily on being patient against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting starting pitchers out of the game early will lead to success. "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bullpen the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. "We just need to put the ball in play and not try to do too much," Stanfield said. "A lot of the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio. "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around." - Edited by Katie James BY THE NUMBERS 63 5. 0 The most innings an opposing starting pitcher has lasted against Kansas.

I remember thinking that these students were the coolest kids in the world; all the women in the group had long, beautiful, sophisticated hairstyles, and all of the men were cute jocks. They just seemed to have their lives together. I wanted to be just like them. If they said don't smoke, I wouldn't smoke. It was a clever strategy, really, sending high school students into our class. When you are a kid, every older student seems like a god, a standard to live up to. They taught us to repeat the simple phrase "smoking isn't cool, just say no." The gods spoke. I vowed to never smoke. Then I went through the obligatory rebellious phase where I just started questioning everything under the sun. I got my Descartes on, in other words. And yet, smoking was never something I considered. It never came up, even though I had always been armed with my ingenious "I'm not a butt kisser" reason not to smoke that I'd thought of in sixth grade. It's too bad I didn't get to use that one. Even in high school, none of my friends smoked, and I was never across the street from the school where the "smokers" socialized before class started. They had to stand across the street because our school was a smoke free zone. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed my side of the street getting to know the variety of people whose lungs were clean and didn't leave that ever so pleasant smoky fragrance in my hair. Even my father smoked cigarettes before I was born, but he quit when my brother (my parents' first child) was born. I am so proud of that fact. In the back of mind, I've always thought if he could give it up for us, I'd never start, for him. Seemed like a fair enough trade to me. And here I am 20 years old and have never smoked a cigarette. I wonder if saying that makes me lame, or if it makes me one of those gorgeous gods with amazing hair. You've seen my hair. It's definitely the latter.

It just means that whatever situation you're in, whether it's a fight with a boyfriend or drama with the girlfriends, things will get better and you shouldn't dwell on it. The Hookup Dear Michelle, I've experienced a very strong smell sometimes when going down on a woman. What is a woman supposed smell like when I go down on them? Is there anything else that can leave that unpleasant odor on someone? Wondering What's Wrong Want to be catch of the week? Tweet why you're a catch @ JayplayMagazine. Dear WWW. The female vagina contains delicate natural bacteria that helps maintain the healthy and normal balance of microorganisms in the vagina. When this bacteria is disrupted or prompted to overgrow, the result can sometimes cause the foul odor you experienced. If the odor resembles a "fishy" smell, the culprit is likely a condition called bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is often mistaken for a yeast infection or trichomoniasis because of the itching and burning sometimes accompanying vaginal infections. Along with the possibility of itching and burning, the most obvious symptom of BV is the "fishy" odor and grey discharge. Only a doctor can properly diagnose the condition, so never feel intimated or scared to encourage your sex partner to seek treatment for BV or any other vaginal infection. If left untreated, BV may increase a woman's risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy complications, post-operative infections and leave her susceptible to herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV. Infections of BV are often caused by the following: -Multiple sex partners. -E. coli spreading to the vagina after anal sex. Always change the condom and wash the penis, mouth and/or hands thoroughly after anal play. -Heat and moisture. Wearing breathable cotton underwear is important.Avoid tight, synthetic fabrics and thong underwear. -Poor health. Smoking, excessive caffeine and excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided. -Use of an intrauterine device (IUD) or other insertable method of birth control. -Routine douching. Your body is extremely capable of filtering out toxins, expelling post-menstrual fluid, and maintaining bacterial balance. Douching will strip the natural bacteria from your vagina, causing vaginal infections to occur. Douching should be avoided. -Scented or treated toilet paper, fragrant personal hygiene products, and any soap with dyes and perfumes. These should be avoided. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), although BV will sometimes clear up without treatment, all women with symptoms should be treated to avoid complications. Male partners generally do not receive treatment, but BV may spread between female-to-female sex partners. The CDC goes on to list two common antibiotics used to treat BV: metronidazole or clindamycin. Remember, although treatment may cure the infection, BV can recur after treatment. Take care in exercising the precautions listed above. A woman should be in tune with her body. This means looking at, touching and smelling her vagina to monitor any changes. Grab a hand mirror, lay down on a towel in your bathroom or bedroom, and inspect in and around your vagina for any visual changes. A healthy vagina will be void of any warts, cuts, sores, rashes, unusual discharge or foul odors. Finally, for you men. A woman will never naturally smell like flowers, fruit or perfume. She will have the natural and erotic scent of a woman. If you have a problem with that, you're not worthy of anything she has to offer.

Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance. I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Jeff Karr Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys". Price said. "Those are the guys we were going to see in "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bullpen the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." focused heavily on being patient against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth innning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting startings out of the game early will lead to success. While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. much", Stanfield said. "A lot of the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. Edited by Katie James "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start," but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."

X 1 --- Volume 124 Issue 109 kansan.com Friday, March 2, 2012 THE FINAL NIGHT LOVE --eight-hundred forty-five million people use Facebook, and like them, you have probably logged on once or twice. We use the popular social media website to chat with friends, play games or as Ashley Rodgers, a senior from St. Paul, Minn. puts it, keep track of people we might not otherwise keep in contact with. But as Rodgers and many other students know, your Facebook account can cause major problems with your significant other. A 2009 study concluded that Facebook led to increased jealousy in 19.1 percent of relationships. Vickie Hull, a marriage and family therapist at 1201 Wakarusa Dr., says Facebook is mentioned several times a day in her therapy room. The Anti-Social Network //SASHA LUND Facebook has people getting green... with jealousy. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK KANSAN FILE PHOTO "The problem is not the site itself, but the trust problems that arise because of what gets shared on these sites without the partner's knowledge," Hull says. She says the most common problems couples experience from social media are when one partner flirts with someone else on the website or reconnects with exes. With a 2008 study by Pew Internet and American Life Project finding that 22 percent of Facebook members use the site to flirt, this problem could be more common than most people think. Reconnecting with an old flame is exactly what inspired Jason and Kelly Krafsky to write their book "Facebook and your Marriage." Jason and Kellv, known as the "social media couple," had been married for 14 years when they both created Facebook accounts in 2008. Soon after, Kelly informed Jason, who had friended ex-girlfriends, that she had added her first love on Facebook. After discussing it and deciding it brings up unnecessary issues, they both decided to unfriend their respective exes. "As her and I were talking through what this meant, it opened up the door for us to say, 'Who are we friending?' All of a sudden, you're brought into that person's life," Jason Krafsky says. Jason Krafsky explains that typically, what will start out as an innocent conversation over the Internet can often lead to a physical affair. "People think they are just accepting a friend request and then they start communicating with that person, and it might go down memory lane. They can find themselves in a physical affair because of that path; it's a really slippery slope," he says. Both Hull and Krafsky agree that the best way to prevent potential relationship problems from social media is to keep discussion about it open. Krafsky recommends allowing it to be a repeat discussion point, instead of talking about it once and filing it away. "You can't be on Facebook and not talk about it with each other. Don't discount it as a website. Facebook is very much a part of real life." Krafsky reminds users that if there is a Facebook-related problem in your relationship, the issue probably lies within the relationship, and it doesn't stem from social media. "If you're finding that social media is negative in your relationship, it's up to you to figure out why. More than likely it's a relationship issue that needs to be fixed." Once you find a balance, Krafsky says Facebook can be a very enriching part of daily life. He even explains the ways a couple can use Facebook to improve their relationship. There are advice groups and pages on how to become closer or add sizzle to your sex life. Krafsky suggests subscribing to those that interest you and using them as inspiration. "The majority of social networking aspects are positive; it's just a matter of how you're acting on them," he says. Alex Lickerman, assistant vice president of student health and counseling services at The University of Chicago, agrees. "There are absolutely positive aspects to Facebook. In this fast-paced world it makes catching up extremely easy." The problem, notes Lickerman, is that many people use Facebook as a substitute for real socializing. "A Facebook relationship is entirely different from a real relationship. It's a way to keep in touch with people while also keeping them at arm's length," Lickerman says. Ashley Rodgers, the senior from St. Paul, says common sense is the key to using Facebook and maintaining a healthy relationship. "If you use it in the right way, you'll be fine. The problem is, too many people post pictures they shouldn't, and people jump to conclusions," she says. Vickie Hull, a marriage and family therapist in Lawrence warns against some of the most common relationship problems that can arise from having a Facebook account: Reconnecting with exes.

Before high school, Nick only cared about soccer and his friends. Come high school, a stronger relationship began to develop. Jarrett and Nick soon started hanging out one-on-one. One snow day Nick came over to Jarrett's house and from then on, they started dating. The two have been in a serious relationship now for more than four years."Nick's my best friend We have fun together. We're in a serious relationship, but we're not serious all the time," Jarrett says. DATING TIP Don't talk poorly about your partner to others. If you have a problem with your significant other, confront them about it. For Jarrett, it's important to keep relationship problems between her and Nick. Jarrett says it's one thing to ask a friend, "What would you do if your boyfriend did this?" but it's another to share personal details. Instead, Jarrett talks directly to Nick about it. "That way you never resent your partner, because your arguments are settled quickly and without any involvement from anyone else," Jarrett says. Nick agrees that venting to people about personal relationship problems is never a good idea. "For one, they probably don't want to hear about it. And two, it's disrespectful to her," Nick says.

Katie attended Marlon's high school graduation party with a few friends, not expecting anything but a fun night out. When the two crossed paths at the party, they instantly gravitated toward each other. During that summer, their relationship blossomed. They discovered a shared love of concerts and went to see The Fray together as their first big date. By the time summer came to an end, Katie and Marlon, both from Olathe, decided they wanted to continue their relationship even though Marlon was going away to college and Katie was still in high school. DATING TIP: Keep it fun. It's good to know why you fell in love with each other in the first place. It has been two years and four months since that fateful summer night when Katie and Marlon first met, and their relationship is stronger than ever. Marlon transferred to KU from Johnson County Community College, so this year they are experiencing KU for the first time. "We walked around campus together, and found our classes," Katie says. "It was fun having that beginning college experience together." "Fun" is a word these two use often as they are constantly venturing down Mass. Street searching for a new restaurant to try or going to different concerts together. Every Monday morning they send each other a text with a list of reasons they love each other, and to recap the previous week or weekend they shared together. "It's important to continue to remind one another why we are together and what we love about each other," Katie says. "On our two year anniversary, I framed two pictures of us and a list of promises that I made for our relationship." Whatever happens in the future, the couple made a promise to love each other and understand each other, two things off their list they plan to continue to do forever. Get Involved: ALTERNATIVE BREAKS When Hannah Sitz, a sophomore from Andover, went to Atlanta, Ga. during the winter break of 2010 for a KU Alternative Breaks program, she spent three days snowed inside an Atlanta hotel room because of a blizzard, which hadn't occurred in Atlanta in the previous 16 years. Sitz and six other students then spent the last two days of their trip working with the Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency, working at a professional clothing closet and helping people with computer internet resume skills, and at Café 451, serving coffee and pastries at a cafe which helps people with mental and physical disabilities. "The upside to that is we got to know each other in our group very well," Sitz says. Alternative Breaks offers several different programs to students looking to travel around the nation for hands-on-service opportunities. Dedicated to increase awareness about issues such as health, education and environment, each trip focuses on a combination of service and learning experiences. Trips are offered during winter and spring break, summer, and weekends to more than 350 students each year. "You go to do service, that's the emphasis, but you're learning new things and doing new things as well," Sitz says. "You don't know what you're going to learn." Sitz also traveled to Nashville, Tenn., for a winter break trip in 2011. The trip included a lesson in Wii bowling with an 80-year-old woman named Margaret as Sitz learned to work with the aging population in a group called Fifty Four. "At first I was like,' Why would I want to go do that?' But then I pushed myself out of my // ALLISON BOND Learning about the elderly population in America taught Sitz how much fun it is to meet people and hear their stories. "It's incredible," Sitz says. "These people are still so full of life." Sitz is now the co-coordinator for summer breaks with Bailev Reimer. The education piece of Alternative Breaks speaks most to Julia Barnard, codirector of the program with Stephanie Jian. Barnard says it's different from any class she has taken at KU because the Alternative Break program has an emphasis on lifelong service commitment. One of the goals for the program is to have students walk away with a commitment to service, whether incorporating it into their career or daily life. It's very fulfilling, Sitz says. "You begin to think, I could have been sitting on the couch, doing nothing, watching Jersey Shore, or I could be here helping people."

Don't let it get the best of you. At any given moment, half of the U.S. population has bad breath, according to a study from the Council of Scientific Affairs. That could be half the people who speak to you every day. If you're not proactive, you could end up on the less popular side of that statistic. Your errant exhalation could ruin sharing secrets and holding close conversations. It could even ruin a romance. Evan Williams, a senior from Olathe, knows what it's like to experience deal-breaking breath. "It was just awful. I wanted to go brush my teeth and drink a bunch of water and just get the taste out." Williams says of the time he had to end a potential relationship because of the stench of his love interest's breath. "It just tasted stinky in my mouth." Brushing your teeth and flossing daily are the obvious solutions for bad breath. Plaque build-up can lead to serious health issues, so it's essential to eliminate this problem through these morning routines. Mouthwash mostly just covers up the smell, according to the American Dental Association, as do gum and mints. The ADA recommends brushing your tongue if you seem to have a build-up of plaque, which will look white and fuzzy on your tongue. Eating foods that are high in Vitamin C, like citrus fruit, may cure your bad breath before it begins because Vitamin C battles against bacteria formulation and fights gingivitis, a gum disease that increases chances of bad breath. Drinking lots of water (aim for eight cups) every day can also prevent bad breath, which forms fastest when your mouth is dry, according to the ADA. No matter the cause of your malodorous mouthful of air, keep up with your cleaning,and don't let your oral odor become offensive.

Each winter across campus I see the thinning of classroom attendance and constant coughing from those who tough it out. The common cold can't be cured but people everywhere have tried different home remedies to help with symptoms. "My mom used to make me a Hot Toddy every time I was sick," Alicia James, a senior from Topeka, says. "It had whiskey, tea and honey all mixed in and it broke up whatever was in my chest and even cleared the nose." While home remedies like these may help with cold symptoms, experts still CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP Eating chicken noodle soup when sick is nothing new; it makes us feel better. But can chicken noodle soup really help with cold symptoms? Physician Stephen Rennard, and University of Nebraska Medical Center researcher, conducted a chicken soup study that looked at the effects of "Grandma's soup" on the common cold. While colds are the result of a viral infection in the upper respiratory tract that causes inflammation, Rennard found that eating chicken noodle soup could help reduce inflammation through the slowed movement of neutrophils,the white blood cells that trigger inflammation, thereby reducing cold symptoms. Chicken noodle soup can also increase hydration and is nutritional. However, Rennard's "Grandma soup" is a recipe that includes chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, carrots, celery and parsley.Not all chicken noodle soup recipes may offer the same effects. agree that getting plenty of sleep and drinking the recommended eight glasses of water or juice a day are the most effective ways to over the common cold. MEDICINE There is no direct medication to cure a cold. However, other medical cold remedies could help with symptoms. Congestion and coughing can be treated with a decongestant or antihistamine, says the American Lung Association. Taking Vitamin C supplements can also help boost the immune system. The Mayo Clinic warns on their website though, to "remember that cough and cold medicines won't make a cold go away any sooner." 03 8 01 12 be in strong consideration to win national player of the year honors after losing three of his closest family members is something to admire. If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured. Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance. I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Jeff Karr Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. The lajahaws will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bulldon the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." focused heavily on being patient against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting startings out of the game early will lead to success. While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. much," Stanfield said. "A lot of the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio. "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."

Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it's easier said than done. Those virtues are the core of Falun Dafa, a Buddhist spiritual discipline that combines meditation and repeated exercises for an all-encompassing experience in Qigong, a category of Western health practices that includes Yoga and Tai Chi, but Yoga and Tai Chi don't teach the virtues, just meditative poses. Falun Dafa, which began in China in 1992, can improve mental and physical wellness by channeling, enhancing, purifying, circulating and strengthening energy, each of those actions with its own exercise. If you're able to find an inner peace, the practice may also improve your schoolwork. Sophie, a graduate student from China who has practiced Falun Dafa for about a year and a half, says she has experienced great improvement in her schoolwork since she began the practice among many other benefits. The more you practice, the more powerful your meditation will become, increasing your chances of seeing results. "I'm a person that is afraid of difficulties, especially assignments in my courses such as 'write a paper,' Sophie says. "I always begin my projects near the deadline so I always have little time to finish it because I don't want to face the difficulties. I have a lot of anxiety." After practicing Falun Dafa, she has been able to face her challenges more confidently, with a good attitude and finish assignments on time. Another student who practices, Kara, a senior from China, has seen improvements in herself since she began practicing with her mother in China in 1997. Some of the exercises are difficult, like holding your arms in a circle at a 45 degree angle up and away from your body for several minutes, but Kara doesn't notice because it improves her tolerance and the meditation makes her feel comfortable and peaceful. Some schools, like Columbia University, have practice sites and organizations for people who want to practice together, though Falun Dafa is a very personal exercise. There used to be a group at KU, but it ended when many of the involved students graduated. Because of this, Sophie and Kara join members of the community to practice at the United Way building, 2518 Ridge Court. Cat Howland leads that group and is a testament to Falun Dafa's powerful benefits. In 2001, doctors told Howland that her heart would fail because of the pituitary damage and adrenal issues she had been dealing with for years. She had exhausted every remedy she could find when a friend recommended that she try Falun Dafa. Her chronic illness and the allergies she had since childhood were gone eighteen months after she began practicing. "Everybody that practices has a story of how their body or mind changed, or both. It's just part of our experience." Howland says. "It's real common to have incredible miracles happen." When Howland moved to Lawrence in 2003, she recruited her friend Joyce Mitchell to join her in practicing. "I think any kind of meditation that people do is good. You'll get benefits. But with this practice, when you bring in trying to live by those principles of truth, compassion and tolerance, it takes you to another level," says Mitchell, who is able to maintain her stress levels from her hectic family life through practicing Falun Dafa. "You end up seeing your behavior, and it gives you a means to change it." When the weather is nice, the group practices in a more traditional way — outdoors at South Park, on Massachusetts Street between 11th and 13th streets. It is always free to practice Falun Dafa, no matter where you go. Similarly, all Falun Dafa-related materials, including books, music and DVDs, are free online at www.falundafa.org. ONE OF THE MOST PERSECUTED ORGANIZATIONS IN CHINA The Chinese government deemed Falun Dafa, alternatively named Falun Gong, a "heretical organization" in 1999 and began to persecute practitioners. Since then, millions of Falun Dafa faithful have been denied the right to this peaceful practice, according to Kansas Falun Dafa Association. since Falun Data practitioners are in custody of the Chinese government, they are often subjected to various forms of torture, including electric baton shocks, mental abuse and sexual violence, the KEDA says. "Since 2003, Falun Gong has been largely suppressed or pushed deep underground in China while it has thrived in overseas Chinese communities and Hong Kong. The spiritual exercise group has become highly visible in the United States since 1999, staging demonstrations, distributing flyers and sponsoring cultural events," says Thomas Lum, specialist in Asian affairs, in his report to the U.S. Congress in 2006. Though the U.S. government condemns the persecution, many Chinese practitioners here are fearful for their safety in practicing. "Because of the persecution, Chinese people have fled all over the world. They are moved by these principles, and they are passionate about Falun Data. They tell all their friends and family about what's happening, so I think there's a real awareness now of what's really happening there." says Cat Howland, leader of the local Falun Data group. 100 PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ASHLEIGH LEE KE H/KANSAN nd Smoke. e 9 03 01 12 Vise gov NG Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police Ralph Oliver sald cameras are monitored at night by student security officers and cameras are added to campus every year.

In 2009, the band released its first album, a folksy blend of pop and indie rock that earned one of the top spots of Billboard's digital album charts. The success led to appearances in clubs across the country, a spot in the Lollapaloza lineup and a performance on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Late last year, the six-piece Portland-based band released their sophomore effort, "We are The Tide," which they're currently playing on tour. Catch them on Saturday, March 3 when they perform at the Granada. Until then, get acquainted with Blind Pilot's songwriter and lead singer, Israel Nebeker. HOW DID THE BAND GET STARTED? Ryan (Dobrowski, drummer) and I met in college, and we both did a study abroad program together in England in a town on the coast of Cornwall. It's sort of a vacation destination and a big surfing town. There are lots of musicians playing music on the street. We just decided to do that. I had my guitar and he got together a sort of trash kit with a five gallon bucket and a cheese grater and bottles and a sketch pad. We loved meeting people that way, and it turned out really great. Then we finished school, and a few years later we ran into each other in Portland. We wanted to do just a regular bike trip, and it just seemed to make sense, since we've done it before, to bring our instruments and fund the trip that way. HOW DID BIKING WITH INSTRUMENTS WORK OUT FOR YOU? We had bike trailers. Ryan had his drum kit. He had this kind of cool system of nesting his drum kit, sort of like Russian nesting dolls. I had a guitar, so I had it easy. Our goal that time was to go from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. We made it as far as San Francisco. We went to the museum of modern art there and when we came back, our bikes were stolen. That was the end of the trip. It was the greatest experience of my life, musically or not. We came back and recorded "3 Rounds and a Sound." DO YOU HAVE A TOUR BUS THIS TIME AROUND? We have a tour bus, but I don't know if it's a legitimate tour bus. It's an old crown school bus from the '70s. We gutted the whole thing and put in wood floors. I love touring in that thing because it feels like home. HOW IS THE NEW ALBUM DIFFERENT FROM YOUR FIRST? we were going for a different sound this time. I definitely write songs that I don't think are anything like Fleetwood Mac, but I was listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac at the time and I thought it would be a fun thing to try to make it more of that rich or classic sound. The last one was so sparse, and I think that was the strength of it. We didn't want to do the same thing again, so we kind of did the opposite. YOU'VE PLAYED IN LAWRENCE BEFORE. WHAT WAS YOUR IMPRESSION OF THE CITY? It was amazing. Really, truly amazing. We see a lot of big towns and we see a lot of small towns, but I remember just having the most incredible day ever there. We went and got this incredible Mexican food. There were like these two women from Africa and they got up and started dancing in the restaurant. I was like, "This is an incredible place." We met a lot of really good people. FREE FESTIVALS From left to right, Luke Yolstie, Katie Claborn, Ryan Dobrowski, Israel Nebeker, Ian Krist and Dave Jorgensen are Blind Pilot.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Top Album: Of Montreal's Paralytic Stalks //RACHEL SCHULTZ Named for a woman "of Montreal," this band is creeping up charts all over the continent. Of Montreal's newest album, Paralytic Stalks, has a funky, jazzy and electronic vibe to its first few tracks. Listening on, the band's style is much more complex, featuring a flute, violin and steel guitar. Although it's hard to pin down an exact style or genre, it's clear that this album is a truly personal creation from songwriter Kevin Barnes as he reflects on emotions ranging from anger and self-hatred to thoughts on human existence and relationships. It's eclectic, but the album forces the listener to get immersed in the music and experience it along with the musicians. "You just want to dance silly when you hear them," says Claire Pedersen, a sophomore from Omaha, Neb., majoring in graphic design. "Their vocals make you feel as though you're in someone's backyard for a private concert in the summertime." The band recorded Paralytic Stalks, its 11th album, in Barnes' home studio in Athens, Ga. For the first time, Barnes worked with session musicians, or musicians hired just for a certain period of time, while recording. Many of them are now touring with Of Montreal. Barnes made a strong connection with session musician Zachary Colwell, who arranged all of the brass and woodwind pieces for the album, and as a result became the newest member of the band. Kevin Chael, a senior from Olathe majoring in mechanical engineering, has seen the band in concert. He says they use props and costumes to help engage the audience and play their music videos on a screen behind the stage. "It all told a vibrant story," Chael says. "They were pretty trippy." Unfortunately many fans in Kansas will have to wait to see the album performed live.

FEATURE --becomes regular, your brain will want that reward dopamine gives you, resulting in addiction. Despite the warnings on cigarette packs, in TV commercials and in school throughout childhood, more than 15 percent of college students smoke regularly, according to a study conducted in spring 2011 by the National College Health Association. Other non-habitual smokers include people who smoke when they drink, stress smokers and social smokers. More than 1,000 people 18 years or younger start smoking each day. There are a plethora of reasons people start smoking, and once you start smoking, it can be very hard to quit. This is in part because of the addictive chemical known as nicotine. ADDICTION'S MANY PERSONALITIES As many know, nicotine is the main addictive property in cigarettes. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), nicotine increases the amount of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that increases happiness, released in the brain. These effects wear off after just a few hours, so some continue smoking to keep achieving this feeling. If your smoking More than half of college student smokers are considered social smokers, according to the American Lung Association. Brittany Hale, a senior from Singapore, started smoking when she was 14 years old, because her friends were smoking and it just went along with drinking. In Singapore, the legal drinking age is 18, but Hale says the bars aren't strict and let younger people in. Since Hale became addicted, she kept smoking even after her mom caught her and disapproved. In one year, she went from smoking four cigarettes each day, to half a pack, to a full pack each day. When Hale first came to KU, she says smoking helped her acclimate to the new environment and make friends. "Smokers stick together. You go outside and, even at bars here. You meet people when you're smoking." Hale says. Hale says smoking relaxes her when she is stressed out, and she also enjoys smoking after she eats. Since she smokes a pack each day, Hale says she smokes just about anywhere, anytime. She even smokes when she's drinking coffee in the morning. "Of course I smoke when I'm out drinking. I definitely smoke more then," Hale says. She doesn't mind that she has to go outside to smoke, but does enjoy places, such as casinos, where you can smoke inside. All other public places like restaurants, bars and taxis are now under a smoking ban, since the Kansas Indoor Clean Air Act was passed in 2010. SMOKING SOCIALLY More students consider themselves social smokers than habitual ones like Hale. More than half of college student smokers are considered social smokers, according to the American Lung Association, which Theater ADVICE FROM HOWARD AHM, A CHICAGO SENIOR. WHO DUIT SMOKING! "Reducing cigarettes does not help much to quit. It's better to just quit cold turkey." Anticipate tempting situations you will face. "It's hard to resist when there are other people smoking, or when you are drinking, or after having a meal." Avoid triggers when you can. "Avoid any situations that may trigger your desire to smoke again. Avoid places that smell like cigarettes." Ahn says. means they usually smoke around other smokers. One of these people is Jeff, a sophomore from Iowa. Jeff began smoking at age 16 with friends, usually at parties. He says he continues to smoke because when you smoke, you have the opportunity to meet more people. Jeff smokes daily, but he still considers himself a social smoker because he usually smokes around others on campus or with his roommate. One in five of these social smokers become daily smokers sometime during their college experience, according to the American Lung Association. He also smokes on the porches at bars and doesn't see a problem with indoor smoking bans. "Not everyone who drinks, smokes. Typically places that are non-smoking have a back porch or designated smoking area," jeff says. NICOTINE NOSTALGIA Giselle, an Overland Park senior, says the main reason she smokes isn't for social reasons, and it's not because of addiction. Giselle says she just enjoys smoking. "There are so many people smoking on campus and every time someone walks by I have that nostalgic feeling," Giselle says. Giselle, who smokes an average of one pack in three days, quit smoking for a year but started again in college. She says quitting wasn't difficult for her; it's a matter of if you want to quit or not, and she just didn't want to quit. However, most people have a tougher time quitting smoking. According to the National Institutes of Health, almost all people who try to quit smoking experi- 12 03 01 12 If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured. national player of the year honors after losing three of his closest family members is something to admire. Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance. I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Jeff Karr Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys, Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Eligie said. "If we can use the bulldon the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. focused heavily on being patient against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting startings pitches out of the game early will lead to success. Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. X "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. much, Stanfield said. "A lot of the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." . "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around." The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio.

These are greater for people who have smoked longer or more often. While she knows smoking is bad for her, Giselle says there are certain times that she just wants to smoke. Like Hale, smoking on campus helped Giselle make friends when she first came to KU. Smokers are pretty social, says Giselle, and talking about cigarettes or bumming from others are great ways to start conversations. Smoking is also a great way to take a break when studying for long hours. "You're literally stepping outside and away from your work. I have a chance to just get away, be by myself or chat for a minute. I can just clear my thoughts and get back to work. It gives me some motivation," Giselle says. SMOKELESS SCHOOL CAMPUSES Since Giselle enjoys taking smoke breaks on campus, she says she would be angry if KU banned smoking, but she doesn't really think it will happen. She had the experience of being on a college campus with a smoking ban when she went to Johnson County Community College for an artist lecture. She and her friends went outside for free food and to smoke, and she was surprised when the security guard told them they couldn't smoke. There are complete smoking bans on more than 650 college campuses in the U.S., according to American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation. And while smoking bans and restrictions don't prevent all smokers from smoking, according to a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, they do drastically cut down cigarette use. Despite this, Giselle says a ban at KU wouldn't stop her from smoking and she doesn't think it would stop others either. "People are going to do what they're going to do. There are hidden places where I could definitely go to smoke. And if you're there all night like I sometimes am, you're not really going to worry about someone trying to catch you," Giselle says. STRESS-RELIEVING SMOKING Jackie Sewell, Andover senior, grew up in a household where her mom, one of her brothers and both sisters smoked. Sewell says she didn't think of smoking as bad though, until her teachers and D.A.R.E. officers started saying things like 'Smoking is really bad' and 'Anyone who smokes is a bad person.' These statements confused Sewell. She had never heard smoking was bad and, as she says, she thought, "My mom is awesome. She smokes. I don't understand." QUITTING QUALMS A Five-Step Guide from the Center for Disease Control: Thinking of quitting smoking? Here are some professional and peer tips to help you get started. 2. Get Support and Encouragement: Tell family, friends and even try counseling to help keep you in check. If your friends or family smoke, ask them to not smoke around you. 1. Get Ready: Set a quit date, remove cigarettes and ashtrays from your home and car, and, once you quit, don't even smoke one more puff! 3. Learn New Skills and Behaviors: Distract yourself with walks or talking to friends, and reduce stress by taking a hot bath or reading a book. 4. Get Medication and Use it Correctly: For a list, look to see the seven approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 5. Be Prepared for Relapse or Difficult Situations: If you relapse, you can always just try again. Beware of situations involving alcohol and other cigarette smokers. Some evidence, including that from a 2008 study by the Pew Research Center, shows that smokers actually experience more stress than nonsmokers. out just smoking about two cigarettes each week and now smokes about seven cigarettes a day. The message got to her and she became anti-smoking. Then, she says, once she was 19, she decided, "Hey, why not?" At the time, she was going through a lot of emotional distress and thought smoking might help her because it seemed to help her sister deal with stress. Sewell started Whether or not smoking actually decreases stress is unclear because of conflicting research. Some evidence, including that from a 2008 study by the Pew Research Center, shows that smokers actually experience more stress than nonsmokers. In the study, of those who smoked, half said they often experienced stress, while only 30 percent of nonsmokers said they often experienced stress. According to the study, this could be a result of the anxiety and cravings in between cigarettes that the body develops over time. Other research points to cigarettes as a stress reducer. Information from the Cleveland Clinic says that while smoking increases stress on the body, it lessens emotional stress. This is because of the mood-altering components of nicotine. Sewell is one of those smokers who feel that smoking helps decrease their stress. "It just makes you feel better. After you do a bunch of work, you're like, 'Yeah, Cigarette. Awesome.' Sewell says. Sewell does plan to quit smoking, but says she isn't ready yet, because smoking is something she enjoys. She plans on quitting by the time she is 25. "I figure when I'm done with school and get my life together with a job and such, I won't need to smoke anymore. I'm still in my phase with my determined time frame," Sewell says.

Students should be as mindful of their snacking habits as they are of their meal selections. Both Rorabaugh and Mortiner emphasized that students should take note of portion sizes.

Then there are movies whose stunning bouts of ineptitude seem almost deliberate. The aggressively odious anti- comedy "This Means War" is an interminable bore for men, an offensive chore for women and a sleazy, contemptuous affront to the intelligence of audiences everywhere. 03114 12 Like the satanically begotten hate child of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Twilight," director McG's newest cinematic boozy prize features Reese Witherspoon as a scheming, vacuous strumpet who decides to break up the world's most bro-mantic pair of super-spies to prove she's not a scheming, vacuous strumpet. The two buddies she's simultaneously dating (Tom Hardy and Chris Pine) both work for the CIA, and once they find out what's going on, both seem to have zero qualms about illegally tapping her phone and installing cameras around her apartment with the creepy/kinky intention of watching each other score. Despite the acting talent involved, none of these characters resemble anything other than shallow, self-involved idiots. They all act and talk exactly the same, and their actions only make sense when serving the whims of the vapid-fire screenplay. The generally likeable Witherspoon trades in her usual sunny demeanor for the ditzy, screeching neurosis of a Katherine Heigl character. Pine, known for 2009's "Star Trek" reboot and not much else, succeeds in crowning himself King Douche in a movie full of hardy contenders. And speaking of Tom Hardy, what is the future villain of "The Dark Knight Rises" doing slumming in a sloppy subcomic stinker like this? Let me be clear: I would never hate a film simply because it's a romantic comedy. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is one of my all-time favorites. I'll admit to liking "Easy A" better than most of "The King's Speech." But like my beloved horror genre, the rom-com is often home to guttersnipe charlatans who delight in taking your money and leaving you with a cynical septic stain in the place of a quality motion picture. And they'll have no reason to change their ways until movies like "This Means War" quit turning a profit. So do your part and steer clear. Trust me, you'll smell this one coming.

One documents her brief obsession with Kit Kats. Another reveals her love of goats. In some she looks like a model while in others she appears to be a scared young girl. Moore's photos, all self-portraits, are currently on display in the Kansas Union Gallery. It's the first public display of her work and an exciting step for this junior from Green, who only picked up a camera a few years ago. 1960 Images of landscapes and still-life never appealed to her, but looking at photo streams on the popular photo sharing site Flickr, she noticed people taking self-portraits. She was amazed by their work and started trying to take her own photos using her mother's basic point-and-click digital camera. After a period of trial and error, Moore started to get a better feel for how to take a 9ftter picture of herself. She also discovered the emotional benefits of photography "It's become something that's almost therapeutic for me, to do a self-portrait," Moore says. "If I'm really angry or stressed, I'll take a portrait and I'm totally ok." In some of the photos, Moore looks like she belongs in the pages of a fashion magazine, her long, red hair perfectly coiffed as she stands in the middle of the field. Other shots are more intimate. In "Layered," she turns her bare back to the camera to show peeling skin, the result of a particularly nasty sunburn. "Every photo I take, I remember so vividly the time I was taking it, the exact day." Moore says. She tried to capture that sense of the moment in the captions she wrote, strings of simple, child-like sentences describing what she did or felt the day the photo was taken. "That day I realized I really want to take photos that make people feel something — under their skin," reads the caption for "Layered." It was the way Moore captured such specific moments and used them to "tell mini-narratives with each frame" that made the photos stand out to Bea Kilat, coordinator of the Student Union Activities cultural arts committee. The group runs the gallery, where four or five local artists are chosen to showcase their work each semester. PHOTO BY ALEX MOORE This year, the gallery has featured the work of several photomedia students, including Moore. The photomedia degree program was established in 2008 and has attracted an increasing number of students, says Bryon Darby, an assistant professor of photography. *Nest*, Jan. 2010. "That day I got a haircut and my mom had sewn feathers onto my sweater because I begged her to and she was nice because I am bad at sewing." While he attributes the popularity of the program to it being new and novel, Darby admits there is also a more profound attraction for many people. "Photography has this weird ability to reveal things you didn't know were there, whether those are things about yourself or things about the people or places you photograph," Darby says. "That to me is the strength." Self-portraiture is nothing new in the world of photography, but there has been a shift in how people think about photography. Photos were once aimed to be objective and informative, but now more people are acknowledging that it is an inherently personal and subjective form of communication. "One thing I always tell my students is the more personal it is, the more universal it is," Darby says. "The experience you're having relates to everybody and you become a stand-in for the viewer." Many viewers are responding to the personal nature of Moore's photos. The gallery's guestbook is filled with students sharing their thoughts on her work, including Emily Jalinsky, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., who has visited the gallery several times to escape into the open fields and lush forests captured in Moore's images. Looking at the photos, most of which were shot on the farm where Moore grew up, Jalinsky says she was able to step back from the chaos of her day and "take a deep breath." "The personal titles were an integral part to the show, so in the guest book I did a play on them and wrote, "That one time I was in a gallery and smiled to myself," Galinsky says. } The Kansas Union Gallery is located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, next to the SUA offices, and open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m on weekdays.

The building that now houses Teller's was built in 1889 and was originally known as Merchant's Bank. In 1930, the bank was remodeled and renamed The First National Bank of Lawrence. 2. In 1932, after checking into the Eldridge Hotel and staking out the bank for three days, Clyde Barrow and two other men robbed the bank, getting away with $33,000. It was their biggest job, and the first bank they robbed in a string of robberies by a group that would be infamously known as the Bonnie & Clyde gang. 3. In 1970, the bank moved locations and the building was used by the KU Department of Theatre for rehearsals. 5. The bathrooms in the restaurant are located in the bank's original safe. There are two mores safes in the basement. 4. The building underwent a $600,000 renovation in 1992 and was re-named Teller's Restaurant and Bar. 6. Teller's has an apprenticeship program with the Johnson County School of Culinary Arts. The restaurant always has two apprentices on hand. 7. The current executive chef at Teller's, Chef Patrick Chow-Yuen, trained with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay from Hell's Kitchen. He also opened a restaurant called Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London, which was awarded three Michelin stars. 8. Teller's uses two wood -fired ovens and supports local food suppliers when possible. The restaurant's fish comes straight from source, and the beef and chicken come straight from local farms and are hormone-free. 9. The restaurant changes its food and drink menus four times a year to accommodate the seasons. 10. The wall murals in Teller's were done by local artist, Stan Herd. The murals are all canvas and were only the second abstract works he'd done at the time. national player of the year honors after losing three of his closest family members is something to admire. If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance. Losing your mother and grand-parents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Jeff Karr Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. The layhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting starting pitchers out of the game early will lead to success. "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bulpkin the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio. "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."

CAMPUS & TOWN PALMER STREET Dressing with style //BRITTNEY HAYNES What inspires and influences fashion trends on campus (1) (2) MORRIS BAY PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY TYLER ROSTE We've all seen them — the group of guys wearing khaki shorts and pastel button ups, the girls in leggings and Ugg boots, or the group of football players in red and blue sweats walking out the doors of Wescoe. So what drives students to dress the way they do? What influences their style? I decided to interview students with different types of style to get some insight. I was sitting in my American Literature II class when two guys walked in and sat by each other. The looked like twins. They had the exact same style, haircut, and even the same bookbag. It was hard to tell them apart and even my professor mixed their names up. Brett Crawford, a junior from Olathe, and Cameron Birdssall, a junior from Mission, met their freshman year smoking on the stoop in front of Hashinger Hall. After discovering Tumbler and from mutual friend Sean Derry, the two coined their style as what they describe as "1980s traditional Americana." "It's not really about looking like friends," Birdsall says. "It's about dressing like an adult." It's not hard to spot men in fraternities. They're pretty easy to see with their Sperry boating shoes, khakis and brightly colored polos. I've always wondered if they've had that style their whole life though. "We dress to impress. We want to look grown up but still have a simple, understated look," Crawford added. "I've worn polos for a while and I didn't know what dressing "fratty" was like until I came to KU," says Cullen Taryn Eby, a sophomore from Topeka, and Macey Hundley, a sophomore from Netawaka, are roommates but have completely different styles. Hundley describes her style as 'girl-next-door meets punk,' while Eby describes her style as 'glamour -Stephanie Higinbotham "I've just always taken a lot of pride in my appearance. I think it's important to look professional and put together because people judge you based on your appearance." -Stephanie Higinhotham Moriarty, a freshman from Lansing. "I wasn't into Sperrys or khakis every day of the week but a lot of the guys around here bothered me about it for awhile. I tried it out for a little bit and found out that I wanted to commit to it because I found out it was comfortable for me." Alec Swall, a freshman from Overland Park, went along with what Birdsall and Crawford said previously. "I dress the way I do because I want to be seen as grunge.' "Sometimes I dress like a hooker, sometimes I dress like the girl next door, and sometimes I dress like a grungy little hippy. I came from a really small town where everyone wore cowboy boots and shit and I made it my goal to dress as differently as possible. I got made fun of in middle school for wearing Converse and then in high school I got made fun of for wearing Sperrys before they were all the craze. I just like to be different," Hundley says. Eby says her style tends to have more of a "lace and leather" feel to it. "I like to dress however I feel that day. Like if I feel really tried or depressed, I wear a lot of black. Which happens to be most days. I also like to take my own unique spin on the trends going on right now. Like black leggings, not a chance. But shiny, fake leather looking black leggings, hell yes," she explains. In her sorority, Stephanie Higinbotham, a sophomore from Andover, is the girl you go to when you need to borrow clothes. "I remember in 7th grade my mom's neighbor had a bunch of Vogues and Harper Bazaars she didn't want, and that's how I started my knowledge with fashion. From then on, I've just always taken a lot of pride in my appearance. I think it's important to look professional and put together because people judge you based on your appearance," she says. College students get a bad reputation for not caring about their appearance, but from what I gathered, looking put-together is on their minds. Students may have different styles,but they do want to look good. --- SH/KANSAN and Smoke. e 17 03 01 12 Wise gov Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police Ralph Oliver said cameras are monitored at night by student security officers and cameras are added to campus every year. Since a string of criminal activity in 2005, The University of Kansas Public Safety Office has added surveillance cameras to campus in hopes to reduce the crime rate on campus. After multiple cars were broken into at the Lied Center parking lot as well as incidents at GSP and Corbin, cameras were placed in various locations on campus. The number of cameras on campus is not disclosed, for security reasons.

Prisoner Rehabilitation? //JOHN GARFIELD In light of some disheartening statistics, Kansas has been reconsidering its prisoner re-entry programs. After all, 32 percent of prisoners who partake in the programs end up back in jail, as opposed to 25 percent of those in the programs who do not. Surprisingly, only $ \frac{1}{4} $ of the program graduates who end up back in jail actually commit a new offense, while about 60 percent of the others who return have. It is for this reason that KU faculty members are banding together to advocate the program, and try to make it work better. Margaret Severson, a KU professor of social welfare, says that "In fact, most of those who returned did so for violations of their parole; a much smaller percent of those studied returned for new convictions. It is too early to say the program didn't work." Severson is co-authoring a piece to be published in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation that argues that the program has been unfairly evaluated. Along with Severson are Kimberly Bruns, the project coordinator, Christopher Veeh, a KU Social Welfare graduate and doctoral student at the University of Denver, and Jan Hoon Lee of KU's Center for Research and Data Analysis. crimes committed and program eligibility. The group believes that the state is not asking the right questions, and that sampling methods may have caused statistical errors. Factors they say have been previously excluded include gender, type of Their research follows participants over multiple years, tracking how many have returned to prison following periods of a year, year and a half and two years. In addition to the realities of sampling errors, Severson argues the qualitative issues that have been ignored thus far regarding other measures of the program's success: "When the participants were in the community, did they contribute to the economy? Did they pay taxes? Did they provide support for their families? Did they adequately parent their children? Those are the important questions we should ask and answer." CONTRIBUTED PHOTO What it's like to... witness a drive-by shooting //KELSEA ECKENROTH When Brian Jay Gibmore, a fifth-year senior from Topeka, went home to Topeka one weekend, he saw a drive-by happen a block away from his house. One Sunday during my junior year, I went back to Topeka to visit my mom with the girl I was dating at the time. My mom had just gotten off of work but wasn't home yet, and my girlfriend and I didn't want to wait around. I suggested we go on a short walk around the neighborhood because it was a nice spring night. As we were walking, a gray Honda drove by going 40 mph in a 20 mph zone. The Honda kept circling the neighborhood, and whenever it drove past us, it would slow down and the people inside the car would look at us, and then speed off again. It circled the block two or three more times, and we started to think something weird was going on. An SUV appeared and pulled up next to the Honda. The people in the cars started cussing and yelling heinous stuff to each other like "I heard you were saying shit about my friend." My girlfriend and I were familiar with situations like this because they happen a lot around where we grew up. We thought it might turn into a fight or something. We walked back passed the cars and when we were 20 feet away from them, six or seven gunshots were fired. It sounded like firecrackers were going off behind me. My girlfriend and I froze. It took us about 30 seconds to get our heads straight. It was like seeing a car accident. You think reality is playing a joke on you, but eventually you realize the situation is happening, and you have to make up a course of action. The shots ended, and the cars quickly sped off. I stood there confused, but my girlfriend told me we should call the police. We got back to my house to do so. Soon after I called, a police cruiser whipped around the corner, and I flagged it down. The officer asked if I saw the people in the cars, but I never looked at their faces. Growing up in a bad neighborhood taught me not to stare people down, and when you see something go down, you pretend not After I talked to the officer, he sped off to catch the suspects. I didn't hear anything about the shooting after it happened. I don't even read or watch Topeka news because I try to distance myself from it as much as I can.

It is rare to have such a good experience with in-flight meals for me, but this salad tasted so delicious that I decided to replicate the recipe at home. Based on this experience, I came up with a recipe that is easy and quick to make and budget-friendly for students. This salad does not require chopping lettuce and stays fresher for longer than a traditional lettuce leaf salad. The salad from the plane had various colored bell peppers, cucumbers and kidney beans. Put all of those ingredients in a bowl, along with tomatoes, and butter or lima beans. I added these additional ingredients because they are also cheap to purchase, and add more flavor to the salad. The only work required is dicing the vegetables, opening the canned beans and tossing the salad together before adding the dressing of your choice. It takes less than five minutes to make, and is good for your health. Bell peppers are a good source of vitamin A and C and kidney beans and lima beans are good sources of protein, according to nutritiondata.self.com. One cup of kidney beans give you 30 percent of your daily protein value. Ann Chapman, a registered dietician at KU Student Health Services, says that the vitamins in this dish help the health of our skin and hair and boost our immune system, while the protein helps us stay focused and gives us more energy. In other words, it is better to have more protein than carbohydrates. "Having a piece of turkey will make you more alert than say, a bowl of pasta," Chapman says. For even more protein, you can put bacon or boiled eggs in this delicious salad. It is sweet, healthy and colorful.

If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance. Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Jeff Karr Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournamet, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting starting pitchers out of the game early will lead to success. "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bullpen the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shoranded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio. "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."

A wine pairing dinner can be a great way to relax and enjoy the company of friends in a more laid back setting than a bar or house party. "I like having wine with dinner, because it's a slower meal," says Taylor Dorman, a senior from Leawood, who first became interested in wine while studying abroad in Italy. "If you find a wine you like, its not just a 'chug a beer' kind of thing. You can just sit down and enjoy a whole meal together with friends." Whether you're new to pairing or not, this guide will help you build a foundation to have dinner matching success. There is one main guideline to keep in mind when it comes to menu planning and choosing the right wine to go with a meal. In general you want to match the color of the wine to the color of the protein you are eating. For example, you would want to pair a red wine with a steak, and a white wine with chicken or seafood. Lighter entrées require a lighter wine that won't overpower the flavor of the dish. "You need to consider the intensity of the flavors in the dish. If it's a heavier dish, use a lighter wine. You wouldn't want to pair a really heavy wine with something like Alfredo sauce, the meal would be too rich," says Ryan Sciara, managing partner for Cellar Rat Wine Merchants, located in Kansas City, Mo. When it comes to red wines, you should compare flavors between the wine and the dish, rather than contrast the flavors like you would with a white. "Something like barbecue that's smoky and spicy would need a wine that is deeper in flavor, like a shiraz, that has a lot of flavor, versus something like a French red wine that's much lighter," Sciara says. Although pairing red wines with red meats and white wines with white meats is good to think about when choosing a wine, it is not a concrete rule. As with any rule there can be exceptions based on personal preferences or different flavor profiles in a dish. "Adding particular spices to a white meat item may warrant the use of a red wine because the spices may be too over the top for certain white wines to handle," says Leo Dickson, the "Wine Guy" for the Culinary Center of Kansas City, located in Overland Park. "The same applies with certain red dishes. If you were enjoying steak tartar lightly seasoned and tossed in an extra virgin olive oil or a little clarified butter, a rich buttery California chardonnay would pair well," he says. Whether you have a lot of experience pairing wine with food or none at all, a great evening with family or friends can be just a bottle away. Have fun with it, have everyone bring a bottle of his or her favorite wine, or a food to share. Even on a college student's budget you can find a nice bottle of wine for $15. Flavors of the food may lend themselves to bending rules, but personal preferences can also influence wine choices. Some people just don't like red wine so they will always choose a white and vice versa. Wines range in flavor from very sweet to very dry or tart. Those who aren't as familiar with wine may like sweeter whites to begin with and work their way to drier reds. Wine is something you have to get used to before drinking really dry wines, says Emily Franke, a senior from Austin, Texas, who prefers wine to any other alcoholic beverage. "I would recommend starting with a sweeter white like a pinot grigio and then moving to a tarter one like chardonnay, and then it is easier to adjust to a red," Franke says. "The important thing if you don't have much experience with wine, is to just try things out and find one that you enjoy."

Since a string of criminal activity in 2005, The University of Kansas Public Safety Office has added surveillance cameras to campus in hopes to reduce the crime rate on campus. After multiple cars were broken into at the Lied Center parking lot as well as incidents at GSP and Corbin, cameras were placed in various locations on campus. The number of cameras on campus is not disclosed, for security reasons.

She decided she needed to lose weight and get her healthy body back before going back home to California for the break. She chose to do a "juice fast", in which she replaced meals with beverages such as smoothies or fruit juices. She drank lots of fruit drinks such as Odwalla Superfood drinks, and also made her own smoothies. This gave her the opportunity to experiment with many types of smoothies, but her favorite recipe is one she calls, "brain boost smoothie". "I saw the recipe from magazine and tweaked it a bit. I call it 'brain boost smoothie' because of the fruits that go in the smoothie are known as brain foods." Song says. Two main ingredients are blueberries and bananas. Staci Hendrickson, dietician at Healthy Balance, Inc., 535 Gateway Drive, says blueberries are known as superfruits because they are packed with antioxidants, which are especially good for the brain. She says blueberries and bananas are a very good source of glucose, which is a good, steady source of energy for the brain. "Our brain needs lots of sugar. It's the brain's favorite fuel," Hendrickson says. This doesn't mean you should snack on candy all day to fuel your brain. "Fruits tend to be more sustained source of sugar, while a pack of skittles would give you lots sugar quickly, but also a crash later." Hendrickson says. To make the smoothie, blend together 1 cup apple juice, one fresh ripe banana, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup frozen blueberries, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup frozen raspberries, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup of vanilla yogurt and four ice cubes. This makes two servings. KU PHOTO BY RACHEL CHEON CAVE CAVE NO COVER BEFORE 10PM EVER!

Maria and Sara CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Aliza (right) as a 9-year-old, shares a moment with her older sister I waited into the psychiatric ward of the Dallas Children's Medical Center, immediately searching for my 17-year-old sister. I scanned one face after another, trying to locate her familiar shiny, dark hair, big-toothed smile and bright green eyes. When I finally found her balled up in a corner, she was hardly recognizable. Her hair was dried out, frizzy and looked days un-brushed. She had lost a good 15 pounds and her chapped lips were surrounded by sores. Her hands were a purple color and her fingernails were yellow, but what got me the most was her eyes. My sister has always had the most striking green eyes, full of energy and life. When I looked into them that day all I saw was black, darkness. I knew that nothing with this picture was right. I had to get out of there. I began to shake and wanted to do nothing more than fall down on my knees and beg God for my big sister back. Instead, I sat there in silence. Moments later, she slowly made her way up to me, and whispered, "You don't have to worry. They are coming to get me." My parents said my sister had a mental breakdown. When I saw her, I knew it was something more. In the past, shed dealt with anorexia and some behavioral problems and had been attending a special school in Vermont her last two years of high school to help her manage these issues. I'd seen her in the hospital before, but not like this. Once I got home that night, I began to sob. As I continued to replay the day's events in my head, my tears turned to anger. I was 14. I spent my life admiring my sister, looking up to her. This was not supposed to happen. My sister was supposed to be my protector. She was supposed to show me the ropes of high school and give me advice that only an older sister could give. I vowed that after I got all my tears out, this would be the last time I allowed myself to be sad over her. She was no longer "sissy" to me. Six weeks later, my sister was released from the hospital with an official diagnosis: schizoaffective disorder. There are plenty of official definitions of the disorder, but all I knew was it made her a complete mental case. Numerous times during the next four years, I opened up the pantry in our kitchen and saw her sitting there, yelling at me to shut the door before "they" took her away. Or heard her screaming at the top of her lungs that she was going to kill herself, while I'd wrestle her to the ground after she attempted to grab a handful of pills. My home life was in constant chaos. The crazier she got, the more I hated her. At times my anger got the best of me. I would flip her off, or call her a mental case to her face. My only escape was school. There I was normal; happy even. From about 11th grade on, I spent most of my time at my friends houses, yearning to be anywhere but my own. I sometimes even caught myself fantasizing about being in their families. I would eat family dinners with them, and enjoy their family movie nights. But at the end of the day, I had to go back to my house. For the longest time I completely resented that. It wasn't until the end of my senior year when I finally cracked and cried to someone other than my blanket about my sister. Her illness had gotten really bad, so my parents decided to move her to an assisted living home in Michigan, where people with disabilities like hers lived. Since her diagnosis, things were never the same with my sister and me. I learned to avoid her completely or give her one-word answers when I was forced to talk to her. That night when she said bye to me, I gave her a small hug, (probably the first time we hugged since that day in the hospital). I almost lost it. Once she was gone, I started to hyperventilate. The past four years I had treated her like complete shit. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she was sick and didn't do any of this to herself. I immediately picked up the phone and dialed my best friend Christie's number. As soon as she answered, I started sobbing. My friends knew about my sister, but I never really talked about her. When they did bring her up, I just sort of laughed her off, so crying to Christie was a big step for me. I sobbed over the phone with her for hours, and she sat on the other end, not reassuring me that everything was going to be okay andnot telling me what I wanted to hear. Instead she just listened to my sobs until they subdued. Finally she spoke: "Your sister still loves you, you know, and I know you love her too." That was almost four years ago. My sister is now back in Dallas. She is doing a lot better, attending community college classes and working with my dad. As for me, well, I have made amazing friends at KU, but none of them know this side of my life. For the longest time I was ashamed of my sister. When I came to college, I realized I didn't have to tell anyone about her, and as time went on, it got harder and harder to talk about her with people. I blocked the past out of my memory. I have always had fears of people judging me, and I never wanted other people's pity by telling them a "sob story." But this is me. I'm not perfect. As much as I fantasized about that perfect family, my family is not perfect. For my 13th birthday my sister gave me a ring, which I have worn every day since. I constantly look down at my ring, and it brings me back to years ago when we stayed up late watching "American Sweethearts" or played cooking show at our grandma's house. Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about who my sister would be if she had never gotten sick, who I would be. Then I realize there is no use looking back. As hard as it is, I have slowly started to remind myself that it is time to let go of the past. Before it's too late, I know I need to form a relationship with the person she is now; still my family, still my sister.

If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured. Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through. He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance.

Edited by Jeff Karr Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers. Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference. The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams. "I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs. "That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bullpen the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on." against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting starting pitchers out of the game early will lead to success. Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important. Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful. the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield." "The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said. "Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."

Though politically a long shot, the White House believes the idea resonates at a time of high gasoline prices. "Let's put every single member of Congress on record: You can stand with oil companies or you can stand up for the American people," Obama said, reiterating an appeal he made last year as gas prices were rising. The president also said GOP charges that his policies are driving up gas prices wont pass "a political bulldetector" test and pointed to a chart that showed decreasing U.S. als "may have the effect of decreasing exploration, development, and production, while increasing prices and increasing the nation's foreign oil dependence." It also said such an impact would likely be on "a small scale" Obama's insistence on a congressional vote on the oil and gas subsidies came a day after he and House and Senate leaders held a luncheon meeting at the White House that House Speaker John Boehner described as encouraging and hopeful. "You can stand with oil companies, or you can stand up for the American people." The United States and its partners are trying to deter Iran from building a nuclear weapon, including with an unprecedented European Obama has repeatedly called for an end to about $4 billion in annual tax breaks and subsidies for oil and gas companies, government support that Obama has said is unwarranted at a time of burgeoning profits and rising domestic production. dependence on foreign oil. His remarks came as retail gasoline prices rose Thursday to a national average of $3.74 per gallon. "It's outrageous. It's inexcusable.

Iran has responded to tightening economic sanctions and the possibility of an Israeli attack with threats to block oil shipments from the Persian Gulf. On the presidential campaign trail, GOP front-runner Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich also decried Obama's energy policies. "He ran in 2008 on the slogan, 'Yes we can.' He's running this year on the slogan 'Why we couldn't,' Gingrich said. In choosing New Hampshire to deliver an energy message, Obama chose a state he easily carried in 2008. He and his surrogates have paid particular political attention to the state in recent months. It offers only four electoral votes in the November election, but Democrats have been eyeing New Hampshire widely following its sharp shift to the right in the 2010 midterm elections.

Investigative committee questions claims of election fraud Kremlin critics have accused authorities of secretly producing the videos themselves to discredit genuine evidence of what the opposition fears will be a fraud during Sunday's vote. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is The Investigative Committee said Thursday that it is looking for the authors of the videos, which are dated March 4 — the day of the presidential vote. all but certain to reclaim the presidency in the election and he already has claimed that the opposition is preparing to fake evidence of voting rigging to discredit the balloting. During Russia's parliamentary election in December, authentic videos taken at polling stations by volunteer observers showed vote rigging. Those videos angered the public and helped fuel a series of gigantic anti-Kremlin rallies, the biggest show of discontent since the Soviet collapse 20 years ago. Despite those rallies, Russian authorities continue to stonewall opposition demands to punish the officials who have been accused of carrying out the vote rigging then. Last month, the Investigative Committee claimed that many of the videos showing fraud in December also were fake and that they were posted from a server in California. That statement followed Putin's claims that the U.S. has been behind the opposition protests. Golos, Russia's leading independent election monitoring group, checked the only December video identified by the Investigative Committee as fraudulent and said the investigators doubted its authenticity because they had made a mistake in identifying its location. MIDDLE EAST Two more Americans killed in Afghanistan, tensions rise KABAL, Afghanistan — Two American soldiers were killed Thursday in a shooting by an Afghan soldier and a literacy teacher at a joint base in southern Afghanistan, officials said, the latest in a series of deaths as anti-Americanism rises following the burning of Qurans by U.S. soldiers. Both were killed on the same day that the top NATO commander allowed a small number of foreign advisers to return to work at Afghan ministries after more than a week of being locked down in secure locations because of the killing of two other Americans. Afghan security forces — or militants disguised in their uniforms — Thursday's killings raised to six the number of Americans killed in less than two weeks amid heightened tensions over the Feb. 20 burning of Qurans and other Islamic texts that had been dumped in a garbage pit at Bagram Air Field near Kabul. More than 30 Afghans also were killed in six days of violent riots that broke out after the incident. have staged a number of attacks against Americans and other members of the international alliance in recent years. But the recent deaths have been linked to the Quran burnings. The U.S. has said it is committed to staying the course in Afghanistan despite the recent riots and killings, but Thursday's deaths are bound to impact the pivot training and mentoring program as foreign combat forces prepare to withdraw from the country by the end of 2014. ASIA U.S. plans to help rid North Korea of nuclear weapons SEUL, South Korea in another sign of warming relations between two wartime foes, a senior North Korean nuclear negotiator will attend a security conference in the United States, a U.S. official confirmed Thursday. Word of RI Yang Ho's visit to the forum held by Syracuse University comes on the heels of a breakthrough agreement that will provide much-needed U.S. food aid to North Korea in exchange for a rollback of its nuclear programs. The agreement announced Wednesday sets in motion a plan laid out by North Korean leader Kim Jong II before his death in December: to improve relations with the U.S. and to get back to six-nation disarmament-for-aid negotiations. Significant challenges remain, however, in achieving the long-term goal of the U.S. and other nations: to persuade Pyongyang to end its nuclear ambitions altogether. The commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, Adm. Robert Willard, said Thursday he is hopeful but not optimistic about the latest efforts to get North Korea to end its nuclear weapons program. Still, there was cautious hope that North Korea's relations with the U.S. and its allies have turned a corner after years of tensions. The agreement calls on Pyongyang to suspend uranium enrichment and place a moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests. The U.S. and North Korea do not have formal diplomatic relations, but the measures laid out in the deal announced Wednesday include facilitating "people-to-people" exchanges. ASIA Endangered snow leopards found in remote mountain range SRINAGAR, India — A pair of rare, reclusive snow leopards have been photographed wandering a remote, mountain region once ravaged by conflict between India and Pakistan.

WWF-India says it is the second photo sighting of endangered snow leopards in Kargil, after one was photographed hunting a herd of Asiatic Ibex in 2009. The recent sighting has encouraged environmentalists as it suggests the big cats were not scared away from the Kargil mountains by the 1999 India-Pakistan conflict that killed hundreds of soldiers on both sides before a cease-fire was established with U.S. mediation.

Nominated students and faculty in the University community have been nominated to be the "stars". These individuals are paired up with Rock Chalk Dancers and other professional dancers from different studios in Lawrence. "it's kind of like the actual TV show," said Alex Chamberlain, event programs assistant of student union activities. Chamberlain said SUA will play a video clip of each couple practicing, and then the couple will perform live. Over the weekend, some pastors at predominantly black churches were already using their sermons to shop the referendum effort to their congregations, asking members to sign up for email alerts, put their name on petitions and overturn the law now November. The Catholic Church, which has 1.2 million parishioners in Maryland, has also openly opposed the bill. The judges and audience will select the winners. The first place couple will receive a disco ball trophy, which is a replica of the trophy from "Dancing with the Stars." The show will start Friday at 7 p. m. at the Kansas Union in the Ballroom located on the fifth floor. Free vouchers are available with a KUID at the Student Union Activities Box Office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. The event is also open to the public for $5. —Edited by Nadia Imafidon The dancing stars are 10 familiar faces of KU: Daymond Patterson, KU football player Libby Johnson, Student Body President Tim Schlosser, assistant athletic director Alex Ross, co-founder of KU Dance Marathon Cody Charles, assistani director of Sabbati Multicultural Resource Center Emily Lamb, Center for Community Outreach director Eileen Remley, Big Event director of International Affairs Jay Lewis, Hillel executive director Kerry Benson, Journalism lecturer Lauren Lacy, team leader of Jayhawk Motorsports When a gay marriage bill fell short in the legislature last year, black pastors were given much of the credit for pressuring lawmakers to oppose it. The measure was pulled from the floor of the House as leaders realized it fell short of the needed votes. A Sunday service at the Hope Christian Church in Beltsville was filled with murmurs of agreement as a spokeswoman for the Maryland Marriage Alliance rallied the mostly black congregation against the law. "We will have the last say on how marriage will be defined in Maryland." spokeswoman Dee Powell shouted repeatedly to the audience of several hundred. "It's a personal value and opinion. It has nothing to do with President Barack Obama," said 54-year-old DeBorah Martinez, who has attended Hope Christian for three years. Some churchgoers said they are bound by their faith to vote against gav marriage. Opposition from black pastors in Opponents will need to collect nearly 56,000 valid voter signatures, equivalent to 3 percent of the people who cast ballots in the 2010 gubernatorial election, to put the measure on the November ballot. Even gay marriage advocates expect the referendum to end up on the ballot. Maryland belies an overall political stance that routinely includes their endorsement of Democratic candidates and support for their agendas. S six states and the District of Columbia currently recognize gay marriages. The state of Washington has also legalized gay marriage, and its law takes effect in June. Voters there are expected to petition the measure to referendum this fall. Maine legalized the unions for same-sex couples in 2009, but later that year became the only state overturn a such a law passed by a legislature. Meanwhile, about 30 states have constitutional amendments that seek to prohibit gay marriage, most by defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Donald Norris, chairman of the department of public policy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, said black churches could heavily influence the referendum, but liberal voters who come out to support Obama could offset the votes against same-sex marriage. A number of factors could tip the vote on a referendum, Norris said. For example, a weak Republican presidential candidate could mean conservative voters stay home and don't cast ballots against the law. "It's going to really depend upon a variety of things that are going to happen between now and November," Norris said. Gay marriage advocates are hoping that young voters — whom they expect to support their cause — will turn out for Obama as they did in 2008. "I think Obama's election turns out a number of different people," said Sultan Shakir, campaign manager for Marylanders for Marriage Equality, a coalition of gay rights groups that worked to get the bill passed. "(There is) a lot of attention around people who attend church, but there are plenty of other demographics who are going to be turned out."

There were rumors that Lloyd Webber and O'Brien had a falling out over the musical, and they have since parted ways. The Australian version is directed by Simon Phillips. 3/02 Lloyd Webber said in a recent phone interview from New York that the London staging "didn't work" and that the recent Australian version that opened in Melbourne "worked triumphantly," though he acknowledged that "my involvement in Australia was that of an observer." Star of The Monkees dies of heart attack MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Let the Andrew Lloyd Webber offensive begin. Sequel to Broadway hit 'Phantom' debuts The medical examiner's office in Martin County, Fla., says authorities completed their examination Thursday morning, a day after Jones was rushed to the hospital. Toxicology tests could take another six or eight weeks, but there's no sign anything else is to blame for the 66-year-old heartbroth's death. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An autopsy confirms that Davy Jones, star of 1960s band The Monkees, died of a heart attack. It's hard to believe that the celebrated composer — who has multiple Tony Awards — was nearly down for the count last year when critics and audiences delivered a knockout punch to "Love Never Dies" during its London run. The highly anticipated sequel received mixed to negative reviews and closed earlier than expected in August. Jones rocketed to stardom in the 1960s as a member of The Monkees, a made-for-TV rock band patterned after the Beatles. Though their television show lasted just two years, the group ultimately broke up. The famed British composer of "The Phantom of the Opera" seems to be everywhere this season with the revivals of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" opening soon on Broadway and his "Phantom" sequel "Love Never Dies" hitting cinemas around the world this week. rewriting — no new music was written for Australia, but one or two things have been rethought," Lloyd Webber said. "Very small things can make a difference. One of the things I've learned in my career is that the fine line between something being huge or not is very small." The Australian production hit cinemas in the U.S. starting Tuesday. It is the first time that U.S. audiences will have a chance to see the musical. Lloyd Webber said he isn't concerned that the screenings could erode the chances of a Broadway transfer. McClatchy Tribune "No, not at all," said the composer. "It's the other way around. I have the luck of having 'War Horse' run at one of my theaters in London. And we've seen attendance rise since the movie came out." Lloyd Webber was in New York to drum up investor support for "Love Never Dies." He said a Broadway transfer of the Australian production would be expensive but that he remains optimistic. Grant Calton, the company's director, said in an interview from London that the musical was recorded in September in Melbourne and has since gone through post-production. The musical will screen in about 600 venues in North America and more in Latin America, according to Omniverse Vision, the distributor. MUSIC With the revivals of "Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" opening soon, Lloyd Webber said he will FILM Universal hopes to get out of slump MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Soon after Peter Berg signed on to direct a big-screen version of the board game Battleship, he was summoned to meet with the new heads of Universal Pictures. The filmmaker best known for his work on "Friday Night Lights" and "Hancock" had reason to be nervous. Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley were inheriting a risky, expensive project green-lighted by their predecessors at a time of rampant cost-cutting in Hollywood. But the executives had a surprising message: They wanted to increase the budget for "Battleship" and add a multimillion-dollar sequence set in Hong Kong. Following the May release of "Battleship," which cost about $211 million to make, Universal has two more films for 2012 that cost about $175 million each: June's "Snow White and the Huntsman," starring Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart, and November's "47 Ronin" with Keanu Reeves. meetings I've ever had," recalled Berg. "They said, 'We want to go bigger." Fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars of new capital from Comcast Corp., which bought a controlling interest in the studio's parent company, NBCUniversal, in January 2010. Universal is for the first time releasing a series of movies designed to That could very well be Fogelson and Langley's mantra as they swing for the fences in 2012. be global blockbusters akin to "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean." As it celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2012, Universal could use a shot in the arm. For each of the last three years, it has ranked last among Hollywood's big six studios in worldwide box-office sales. In 2011 it eked out a profit of $10 million, down 96 percent from 2010. On a recent conference call with Wall Street analysts, NBCUniversal Chief Executive Steve Burke said the film business has "not been doing well." "It was one of the craziest "This year you can see us marrying a new strategy with a level of resources that Universal has not had in the past," Fogelson, the studio's chairman, said in an interview. "We are in complete agreement that we need to do better and are optimistic that we will." The son of a movie marketing executive, Fogelson. 44, is the studio's top decision maker and focuses on marketing and business strategy. He is known as a hard-charging boss who works long hours and takes criticism of Universal personally. Langley, 43, is more event-tempered. A native of Britain's Isle of Wight, the studio cochairman is Universal's creative guru.

For the past 18 years, the Index of Economic Freedom, published by the Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal, has measured the degree of economic freedom in all 184 nations around the world. country is evaluated and scored in ten different categories covering the openness of markets, the intrusiveness of government, regulatory efficiency, and dynamic growth, and less poverty. The bottom line is that free-markets, lower taxes, less regulation, property rights, and free trade mean a better quality of life for everyone. The idea goes back to 1776 and Adam Smith. In "The Wealth of Nations," Smith inquired as to why some 18th century societies were more prosperous "The United States has been, and continues to be, one of the most prosperous nations in the world. Unfortunately, while much of the world is chasing us, we are regressing." the rule of law. Now admittedly, this criteria is heavily predicated on supply-side economic policy (think "Reaganomics"), but that is precisely the point. Each year the statistical data shows a strong positive relationship between economic freedom and prosperity. Countries with greater economic freedom have a higher GDP per capita, more By Christian Corrigan ccorigan@kansan.com than others. His explanation began with the division of labor. At the local level, people developed trades which allowed them to specialize in one craft, produce a surplus, and then sell that surplus to other members of the community. Because of the increased efficiency that came with specialization, the price of goods and services dropped, benefitting the entire population. Applied at a macro level, entire nations began to specialize and trade freely with one another, allowing consumers in both countries to mutually benefit from lower prices. Nations that imposed tariffs on imported goods could not reap these benefits. The underlying force driving the success of these markets was Smith's famous idea of the "invisible hand." In the free-market, self-interested individuals compete with each other in order to obtain the greatest returns for themselves and their families. This competition offers greater opportunities and choices for individuals, and ultimately a higher standard of living for everyone in society. "The Wealth of Nations" became the blueprint for modern capitalism and influenced the likes of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson The United States has been and continues to be one of the most prosperous nations in the world. Unfortunately, while much of the world is chasing us, we are regressing. When the Index was first published in 1995, the United States had a total score of 76.7 out of 100 and was ranked fourth in the world. By 2008, the United States had increased its score to 81.0 and was still ranked fifth, but in the past few years our score has been steadily declining. We have now fallen to tenth in 2012 with a score of 76.3, ranked behind countries such as Hong Kong (1), Australia (3), Switzerland (5), Canada (6), Chile (7), and Ireland (9). Why is our economic freedom declining? The Index of course cites our growing national debt, increased government spending, and high marginal tax rates as major areas of concern, but it also attributes our decline to several other factors. First, the increased regulatory burden on U.S. businesses since 2009 has raised compliance costs and created an uncertain business climate. As a result of legislation like ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank financial reforms, which have given the federal government vast discretion to promulgate harmful regulations, A.U.S. businesses have been forced to incur news costs at the whim of un-elected and unaccountable federal bureaucrats. The Index estimates that new regulations cost U.S. businesses $38 billion annually. Another major factor cited by the Index is the corruption that stems from crony capitalism and economic-rent seeking, undermining the rule of law and the effectiveness of markets. Giving special tax breaks, earmarks, loans, and bailouts to certain businesses and industries is a bipartisan problem that has plagued Washington for years, and it is only getting worse. Adam Smith's invisible hand cannot work when government forces it one way or the other. The United States is a country blessed with great wealth, natural resources, and human capital. We have everything necessary to climb back up the Index of Economic Freedom if we will simply return to the principles of 1776 and allow the free-market to work. The question is whether voters and politicians alike have the fortitude to let it happen. Corrigan is a third year law student from Wichita. FOOD Throwing a dinner party without the high cost Throwing a dinner party is a skill I believe everyone should have, and it's also a great way to spend time with friends and family. The Lawrence restaurant/bar scene can grow old fairly quickly so if you want to change it up for a night, invite your favorite people over for a dinner party. Try keeping it a slightly intimate gathering especially if you don't have a lot of experience cooking for others; large amounts of people can make this task seem much more intimidating. A few things to keep in mind: Timing; it's good to shoot for everything being done around the same time so that nothing gets cold before you serve it. Table settings, it looks great and impressive to have all the places nicely set before your guests arrive. Stress; don't do it. While it might seem a bit overwhelming just remember, this is supposed to be a fun and relaxing night with friends. If you don't think you're up to planning By Gabby Pred gpred@kansan.com and executing an entire meal on your own, make it a potluck and have everyone bring something. It can be as casual or as formal as you want but it doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, it just has to taste good! So here is my simple Dinner Party 101 menu guide: baked ziti, a salad, and garlic bread (and for those who would like, don't forget the wine!) This meal is delicious with lots of variations to suit you and your guests. Pred is a junior in political science and peace and conflict studies from Kansas City, Mo. Baked Ziti 1 pound dried ziti pasta 3 cups marinara sauce (bought or homemade) 1/3 yellow onion, chopped 1 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional, you could also use broccoli florets, peas, or spinach) 1-2 fresh tomatoes, sliced 1/4 cup grated parmesan 1 package fresh mozzarella, sliced Salt and pepper, to test Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Boil pasta until al dente, meaning still slightly firm. Saute onion and vegetable of choice in a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until tender. In a large bowl combine cooked pasta, marinara sauce, veggies and onion, and parmesan cheese. Place mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. First cover with sliced tomatoes, then cover the tomatoes with the sliced mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is slightly brown and bubbly. Garlic Bread 1 large loaf crusty bread (French or Italian) sliced in half, lengthwise 4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced 4 tablespoons butter 1 Tablespoon olive oil Shredded Italian cheese blend (mozzarella, asago, parmesan, etc.) Combine garlic, butter, and olive oil and microwave for 1 minute or until soft. Spread mixture on bread and then add as much or as little cheese as you would. Put the bread on the top rack of your oven and broil until golden brown and crispy, this should only take a few minutes. Keep a very close eye on anything broiling in your oven; there is a fine line between crispy and burnt. Salad You can make this very simple with just a pre made salad mix and dressing but I like to make mine a bit more special. 1-2 bags lettuce, depending on the number of people. Stay away from iceberg lettuce, it has almost no nutritional value. Dark greens are much better for you and actually have flavor. I like to use a spring mix or spinach. Add as many chopped up veggies as you like, the more the merrier! You can use almost anything (carrots, cucumber, red onion, broccoli, cauliflower, fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, radishes, bell peppers, etc.) You can also use any dressing you like but I like to make my own vinaigrette ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, ½ cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, a nice pinch of salt and a little black pepper. Whisk together and use as much as you like, keep the extra in the fridge for later. Searching for Ramen E very college student's go-to food is a package of Ramen noodle age of Ramen hoodies. It's cheap, easy to make, and not completely disgusting. Such a staple of college life needed to be investigated. So my search began to discover the "best" choice of Ramen for college students. But before I went out to actually discover which Ramen flavor would win the title, I thought a student's opinion would be important, as I am not too much of a Ramen noodle fan. "After the death of my entire family and my slow descent into the world of crack cocaine, I never thought I'd find a friend in the dark abyss that had become my life. Little did I know that a friend would find me. That friend was Ramen noodles," said Shelby Webb, a freshman from Ottawa. Clearly, Ramen noodles covers the entire spectrum of college life. I know many who practically live off it. "It's a student's steak. It's the greatest invention of all ever," said a sophomore from Houston, Aaron Glass. Not only is Ramen considered a means of sustenance, but also a form of comfort. Hunger hits and it is finally the sacred hour. I make a trip to the store to begin the debacle of finding just the right flavor of Ramen By John Dillingham By John Dillingham jdillingham@kansan.com Who would have guessed purchasing Ramen would be such a startling task, but in case you are unaware, Ramen comes with seemingly infinite options. There's individual packaging, bulk boxes, to-go options, not to mention all the flavors available. Onto the flavors, which is really the crucial decision in a quest for Ramen noodles. Maruchan, the company behind the infamous instant noodles, really spared noodles. After weaving through aisles, I stumble upon what could be considered the most visited aisle in any college town, known in Lawrence as "Aisle 5: The Ramen Aisle." For the over all college convenience, I chose the instant lunch cups; all that is needed is water and a microwave, so no need to deal with dishes. They can be taken anywhere, whether it be a quick lunch on campus or on break at work. no options in the flavor creation process. The flavors range from chicken, beef, and really any meat imaginable; but also there are vegetarian options, such as Chili, Vegetable, and Oriental (soy sauce) flavor. Yet amongst all these flavors, how was I going to discover the "best?" So again I turned to student opinion. "Hot and Spicy or bust," said Andrew Feigenbaum. "I think the Chili flavor would be the best choice because it has a great flavor and everyone can enjoy it because it's not meat based," said Alec Swall, a freshman from Overland Park. So the decision was tough, but taking all factors into consideration, I reached for the Chili Lime flavor and hoped for the best. After a two-minute preparation, my taste buds were overwhelmed with a delicious mix of spice and tang. So concluding the story, the "best" overall choice of Ramen was deemed the Chili Lime Instant Lunch, for its convenience, universality, and the much-appreciated $1 price. But really, can you go too wrong with Ramen? With the expansive options, flavors, and amounts, Ramen noodles can meet any college students' needs for a great price. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Today I read an article depicting the student organization, the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA), of which I am co-president. I am not merely writing because this article spoke against the club but because the article was poorly (if at all) researched, stated no evidence other than a snide anecdote, and created new definitions for words like "open-minded" and "dogmatic." To clear up some confusion, I would like to tell you a bit about what SOMA really does. SOMA (whose relation to "Brave New World" is nothing but a coincidence) is first and foremost a safe place for nonreligious students to go. We provide a community where it is not frowned upon to criticize and question religious ideas but actually encouraged. We do in fact promote open-mindedness (which by taking the time to type "open-minded" into Google, one will learn that the definition is "ready to entertain new ideas") as well as rationality. One does not forfeit Dillingham is a freshman in film and media There is nothing dogmatic about SOMA. We do our best to present all valid arguments in any public discussion we have. We never say with 100 percent certainty, "I'm right and you're wrong." We will say, "I'm right because 'x' and you're wrong because 'y'" What SOMA has so right is what Obermeier has so wrong: we do not insist you believe like us, but that your opinions are the product of reason and research. Yes, we have done protests and said some things that probably offended people, but it wasn't with closed minds. There are always members on hand that are willing to discuss the reasoning behind their actions. It is not easy to tiptoe around everyone's feelings when our mere existence as nonreligious people is offensive by default. Michaelyn Everhart is a sophomore from Burlington, Kan.

PAGE 6A FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEATHER ASSOCIATED PRESS MARY LENNON A snow blower clears a road after an overnight storm dropped several inches of snow near Echo Summit Calif., Tuesday. The California Department of Water Resources snow survey showed the snow pack to be 17.7 inches. Snow strikes the west ASSOCIATED PRESS It's finally looking like ski season in California's Sierra Nevada as a late winter storm exceeded forecasts by dumping at least 6 feet of fluff at the highest elevations. "It's still coming down really good," Rochelle Jenkins, a spokesman for Caltrans, said Thursday as crews worked around the clock to keep open Interstate 80, the main highway between Northern California and Nevada. "The valley is clear, but up here it's anything but." The storm is sticking around longer and delivering more snow than predicted because it got "hung up on the mountains," said Johnnie Powell of the National Weather Service in Sacramento, Calif. "It's a classic orographic lift," Powell said. "All a storm needs is lift and water. It hits the mountain and goes straight up. This one just staved there on the mountains." Powell said the weather service planned to lift the winter storm warning later Thursday, with the expectation that the snowfall would likely end around sunset. Despite the heavy snowfall, California is far behind in amassing the amount needed to sustain water use in the arid state for the rest of the year. The state uses reservoirs and a system of aqueducts to deliver snowmelt to 25 million Californians who depend on it for all or part of their water. Measurements on Thursday showed the water content of the snowpack at 34 percent of normal, the fourth-lowest reading since the 1940s, said Dave Rizzardo, chief of snow surveys for the Department of Water Resources. Last year at this time, the snowpack was 124 percent of normal and reached 165 percent by April 1. The storm is bringing fresh powder to the ski resorts, but powdery snow lacks the moisture content that Rizzardo wanted to see. Snow in the state currently holds 8 inches of water, compared to 23 inches that would be normal by this date. "It's a nice change," Rizzardo said of the storm, "but the reality is we need a lot more." "The ski resorts are happy — it will be a nice powder day tomorrow. But we like the wet, cement stuff that really hurts you when you fall down," Rizzardo said. "Nothing personal against skiers." The lack of water content and the unlikely prospects that enough storms will come to make up the deficit by April's melt has prompted officials to warn Central California farmers that they will receive only half of the water they requested this growing season. The snowfall, part of a blast from the Gulf of Alaska, fell heaviest in the Northern Sierra, with smaller readings as far south as Yosemite National Park, where chains were required. "We're running out of time," Rizzardo said. "We have our three wettest months behind us." Avalanche danger in the Lake Tahoe area was down slightly on Thursday, but warnings still exist due to high winds, new snow and a weak snowpack. In California, weather forecasters say a sunny weekend should make for ideal skiing conditions. "Skiers can go have all of the fun they want on the weekend. It worked out perfectly," said weather forecaster Powelli. "It should be plowed out and there should be plenty of fresh powder." As storms moved in from the west, the Colorado Department of Transportation closed the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs because of accidents as a snowstorm moves into Colorado. Up to six inches of snow had fallen by Thursday afternoon in northwestern Colorado, and up to 18 inches is expected to accumulate in some areas by Friday. Forecasters were predicting two to four inches of snow throughout Thursday east of the Continental Divide. Farther east, an overnight winter storm dumped nearly a foot of snow in parts of upstate New York, a rare wallop in a season that's been unusually snowless. More than half a foot of snow also fell across parts of southern Maine by midday, with the National Weather Service calling for accumulations of 5 to 15 inches by the time storm clears out late Thursday. As for California, the snow in the Northeast was a welcome sign for some students who got a snow day and for snow plow drivers happy to get back to work on Thursday. WALTER S. SUTTON LECTURE SERIES The University of Kansas School of Business and The KU International Center for Ethics in Business present PATRICIA H. WERHANE { Wieklander Chair of Business Ethics and Managing Director of the Institute for Business and Professional Ethics at DePaul University } Globalization and Its Challenges for Business Ethics in the 21st Century THURSDAY MARCH 8 · 2012 WOODRUFF AUDITORIUM 6PM KANSAS UNION • 1301 JAYHAWK BLVD FREE TO THE PURUC NO RWP NECESSARY KU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The University of Kansas They're frequent targets of criticism from progressive groups and the Occupy movement over their political activities. The small-government, anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity was founded with their support. LEGAL The lawsuit said a foundation set up and named for Charles Koch in 1974 became the Cato Institute in 1976. On the institute's website, a 25th anniversary timeline says the institute was established in 1977 with Crane and Charles Koch as co-founders. In its last annual report, the institute listed 120 employees and an annual budget of $23 million and said 80 percent of its revenues come from individuals. Koch brothers pursue think tank According to court documents, Niskanen signed the 1985 shareholders' agreement, the same year he became the institute's chairman, and David Koch became a shareholder in 1991. Charles Koch, a Wichita resident, is chairman and CEO of Koch Industries, which has about 67,000 employees worldwide and $110 billion in annual revenues, with interests that include oil refineries, fertilizer, chemicals, paper and pollution-control equipment. David Koch, who lives in New York, is the company's executive vice president. Submitted with the lawsuit, the 1977 and 1985 shareholders' agreements said any shareholder wishing to sell his or her shares must first offer them to the institute. However, neither specifically deals with the death of a shareholder. The two brothers are the only plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which names the institute, Crane and Kathryn Washburn, Niskanen's widow, as defendants. Chris Kennedy, the institute's media relations director, said Thursday that it was consulting with attorneys. ASSOCIATED PRESS The brothers filed their lawsuit Wednesday in Johnson County District Court, arguing that the Kansas court has jurisdiction because the Cato Institute, while based in Washington, also lists an office in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. The brothers are the top executives at Wichita-based Koch Industries Inc., but the multibillion-dollar industrial firm is not involved in the lawsuit. TOPEKA, Kan. — Billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, known for supporting conservative political causes and candidates, are pursuing a lawsuit in their native Kansas over the ownership of a libertarian-leaning think tank based in Washington. "Over the past several months, Charles Koch and David Koch have made multiple efforts to resolve this issue," Wes Edwards, an attorney for the brothers, said in a statement. "Reluctantly, they believe the time has come to ask the court for help in confirming the meaning of the shareholders' agreement." The Koch brothers are longtime shareholders in the Cato Institute, a research organization that promotes free-market, small-government policies. Their lawsuit seeks a court ruling that would leave the institute with only one other shareholder, its president and chief executive officer, Edward Crane III, who also is a defendant. as chairman in 2008 and died in October. The Koch brothers contend that under shareholders' agreements in 1977 and 1985, his wife can't retain the shares and control his ownership interest but must sell the shares back to the institute. The lawsuit centers on the 25 percent ownership interest in the Cato Institute previously held by William Niskanen, who retired U.S. Air Force to investigate selection process for aircraft GOVERNMENT WICHITA, Kan. — The U.S. Air Force said Tuesday it plans to rescind a disputed $354 million contract for a light air support plane and open an investigation into the award, saying it was not satisfied with documentation supporting the decision. ASSOCIATED PRESS Wichita-based Hawker Beechcraft Corp. had challenged the award, claiming its own AT-6 aircraft was wrongly excluded from the selection process. Nevada-based Sierra Nevada Corp. was given the contract Dec. 22 and was to work with Brazil-based Embraer, which makes the Super Tucano airplane. At stake is which company will build the light air-support aircraft, a single-engine turboprop supporting security efforts in Afghanistan. The contract ultimately could be worth nearly $1 billion, depending on future orders. Hawker Beechcraft sued after the government dismissed its protest over being blocked from the contract. The Air Force last month halted work on the contract, but said at the time it was confident of the merits of its decision. On Tuesday, the Air Force said it advised the Department of Justice that it will take corrective action and set aside the contract to Sierra Nevada effective March 2. Citing the ongoing litigation, "While we pursue perfection, we sometimes fall short, and when we do we will take corrective action." Donley said in an emailed statement. Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley would only say that David Van Buren, the Air Force's senior acquisition executive, is not satisfied with the documentation supporting the award decision. Hawker Beechcraft said in a statement that it had received notice Tuesday from the Air Force that the company will be reinstated to the competition. Gen. Donald Hoffman, commander of the Air Force Material Command, has initiated an investigation into the matter, the Air Force said. "We commend the Air Force for this decision and we believe strongly it is the right thing for the Air Force, the taxpayers and the people of Hawker Beechcraft." Hawker Beechcraft chairman Bill Boisture said. "We look forward to competing for this contract as this important initiative moves forward." Afghanistan and support the redeployment of U.S. troops next year. Taco Gilbert, vice president of business development at Sierra Nevada, said in a phone interview that the Air Force's decision was a "big disappointment" because the company was confident it had a superior product that met or exceeded all requirements. He said the company was eager to start producing aircraft to meet combat requirements for "We know it is important to start creating jobs in America, particularly given the situation that we find ourselves in," Gilbert said. "And again we were anxious to start hiring Americans for our production line down in Florida." "The Air Force does not do that lightly," Pompeo said. "It is very unusual absent a supplier not performing, which is clearly not the case here. This is highly unusual, which suggests that there is going to be a very broad re-look of the entire process." Sierra Nevada has said its work on the contract would support more than 1,200 U.S supplier jobs, including at least 50 new high-tech and engineering positions at its jacksonville, Fla. facility. Hawker Beechcraft said had it won the contract, the work would have supported 1,400 U.S. manufacturing jobs, including 800 at the company's facility in Wichita. U. S. Rep. Mike Pompeo, whose district includes the Hawker Beechcraft headquarters, said in a teleconference that the Air Force had excluded Hawker from the competition just days before the bidding, leaving a single company eligible to bid. For the Air Force to set aside the contract that had been awarded was "no small undertaking." MIKE VERNON • JAY INGBER SIXTH MEN UPK ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SAS Student Athletic Association sponsors THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 PAGE 7A Post office closings may skew mail-in ballots ASSOCIATED PRESS Elections officials in several states are concerned that the closing of mail-processing centers and post offices could disrupt vote-by-mail baloting this year, a potential problem that has led some members of Congress to call for a delay until after the November elections. The U.S. Postal Service recently announced that it is moving ahead with plans to close at least 223 processing centers and thousands of post offices, adding to the 153 centers and 965 post offices that have closed since 2008. The moves are part of a wide-ranging cost-cutting strategy for an agency that estimates it will lose up to $18 billion a year by 2015. Voting officials are raising a variety of concerns,depending on the circumstances in their states.Meanwhile,postal customers have security concerns about leaving ballots in their mailboxes to be picked up by postal carriers. In California and Arizona, officials say the closing of processing centers could delay the delivery of mail in ballots beyond the deadline to have them counted. The state registrar in Ohio wrote the postmaster general with concerns about ensuring the security of ballots sent to processing centers that will be across state lines. "We just have to have a moratorium through this presidential year to avoid disastrous consequences," said California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who wrote a letter last week to the postmaster general urging a halt to the closures until after the November election. "I'm asking for a time-out." In Oregon, the first state to require vote-by-mail, the state registrar says voters in rural areas where post offices are scheduled to be closed may have nowhere nearby to drop off their ballots. That would be especially problematic for those who have become accustomed to mailing them on the final weekend. Mail is deposited into an outdoor postal box Feb. 4 in Sacramento, Calif. Elections officials in several states are concerned that the closing of mail-processing centers and post offices could disrupt vote-by-mail balloting. well-equipped to deal with the changes, in part because they have such extensive experience with mail voting. But officials dismissed concerns raised in other states, saying they're LEGAL The Postal Service has said the next round of facilities won't close until August, and it would then halt the process temporarily at the end of the month to minimize disruptions ahead of the general election. ASSOCIATED PRESS The agency might begin its closures in states that already have held their primaries, Postal Service spokeswoman Patricia Licata said. She acknowledged that the consolidation will lead to longer delivery times but dismissed concerns that it could disenfranchise voters. "We realize that election mail is vital to the country, and we don't want to do anything to disrupt that," she said. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE Mindful of the concerns back home, some members of Congress say they plan to ask for another delay, after the Postal Service agreed last year to a five-month moratorium on the closures that ends in mid-May. According to the Postal Service, once the moratorium lifts, the earliest a mail processing center could close would be August, partly because the mail agency must work to reassign employees. The first mail processing centers to be affected, which are yet to be determined, would be a handful of places involving the least difficulty in transferring employees. Montana Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat who sits on the committee that oversees the agency, is working to minimize the effects of the cuts. Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said he plans to file an amendment seeking to delay the closures until after the presidential election. He said they would disproportionately affect rural voters. "Closing these facilities carries many unintended consequences," Wyden, a Democrat, said in a statement last week. "It is not a risk worth taking." Congress is expected to take up the overhaul of the Postal Service in the coming weeks. Postal closures are unpopular with constituents, but spokeswoman Shannan Velayas said California's secretary of state Bowen is concerned only with the integrity of elections and that her letter to the postmaster general was not politically motivated. While voting by mail has been mandatory in Oregon since 2000, it is growing nationwide. One in five voters cast ballots by mail in 2010, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, up from one in eight in 2004. In some states, such as Washington, ballots must be merely postmarked by Election Day to count. In others, they must be received by the time polls close. Charles Henze, who has voted by mail in California since he first registered, said the cutbacks have him considering whether to get off the permanent absentee voter rolls this year. The Postal Service changes worry some voters, who wonder if their ballots will be delivered in time or whether they will have a convenient way to mail them. Henze, 46, likes to wait until the last minute to cast his vote. Now that he may have to mail his ballot sooner, he is leaning toward voting in person at his polling place in the eastern San Francisco Bay area city of Pleasanton. It's a somewhat different concern for Nancy Bowers, who lives on a farm outside Fort Rock, Ore., where the post office is under review for closure. She is worried there will not be a drop box close enough to make voting convenient. "With primaries in particular, by the time you get to voting, the situation can have changed," he said. Fort Rock, about 60 miles south of Bend in central Oregon, is nine miles from Bowers' farm. She said if the post office closes, she would have to drive at least 20 miles to drop off "If they make us go somewhere else, some people may have to drive 50 miles," said Bowers, 65. "They'll consider not voting. A lot of people will." a ballot. For the November general election, that could mean driving in snow. Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown is considering asking county registrars to establish more ballot drop-boxes at libraries and other public buildings, including shuttered post offices. In Arizona, where more than 1 million residents voted absentee last year, election officials are advising residents to get their ballots in the mail by the Wednesday before an election. Pima County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez said the change could have the biggest effect on residents of Indian reservations and others in rural areas who only make weekly trips to town to pick up mail. "We're going to have to go back and educate voters," she said. Delays are among the concerns of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who sent a letter about the processing center closures last week to the postmaster general. He expressed concern that Ohio ballots could pass through out-of-state processing centers on the way to and from voters. His spokesman, Matt McClellan, said the longer trip increases the risk of ballots being damaged, lost or delayed. McClellan said those concerns would be magnified in a presidential election year, when the number of voters and mail-in ballots is highest. "A ballot leaving the state by its very nature is a problem," Husted said in a follow-up telephone interview. California poses a special problem because of its sheer size. The Postal Service has closed four processing centers in the state since 2008 and plans to close 14 more. Some county registrars said the closures already have had an effect. The secretary of state said mailed ballots took from five to seven days to arrive at county election offices during last year's local elections in areas that lost distribution centers, rather than the normal one to three days. Gail Pellerin, president of California's county clerks association, said postal cutbacks had delayed ballot delivery and were a major reason some absentee votes went uncounted last year. Pellerin said she has noticed that some voters have begun using private package companies such as FedEx to overnight their ballots. "There's nothing worse than having to timestamp those in as too late?" she said. Sheriff's probe reveals Obama's birth certificate as forgery DONALD J. MCKINNEY Ariz. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is surrounded by media yesterday as he waits to announce the preliminary findings of his cold case investigation into the authenticity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff finds himself entangled these days in his own thorny legal troubles: a federal grand jury probe over alleged abuse of power, Justice Department accusations of racial profiling and revelations that his department didn't adequately investigate hundreds of Arizona sex-crime cases. Rather than seek cover, though, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is seeking to grab the spotlight in the same unorthodox fashion that has helped boost his career as a nationally known lawman. Arpaio on Thursday unveiled preliminary results of an investigation, conducted by members of his volunteer cold-case pose, into the authenticity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate, a controversy that has been widely debunked but which remains alive in the eyes of some conservatives. At a news conference, Arpaio said the probe revealed that there was probable cause to believe Obama's long-form birth certificate released by the White House in April is a computer-generated forgery. He also said the selective service card completed by Obama in 1980 in Hawaii also was most likely a forgery. "We don't know who the perpetrators are of these documents." Arpaio said, although he said he doesn't think the president forged the documents. Earlier, the 79-year-old Republican sheriff defended his need to spearhead such an investigation after nearly 250 people connected to an Arizona tea party group requested one last summer. "I'm not going after Obama," said Arpaio, who has criticized the president's administration for cutting off his federal immigration powers and conducting a civil rights investigation of his office. "I'm just doing my job." Some critics suggest Arpaio's aim is to divert attention from his own legal troubles while raising his political profile as he seeks a sixth term this year. The sheriff vehemently denies such strategies are in play. "You say I need this to get elected? Are you kidding me? I've been elected five times. I don't need this," he said in a recent interview. Democratic state Sen. Steve Gallardo said Paioa is pandering to relentless critics of the president. "It doesn't matter what President Obama does, they'll never support him," Gallardo said. "It's those folks who will continue to write checks to Sheriff Joe because of this stuff." Arpaio's probe comes amid a federal grand jury investigation into the sheriff's office on criminal abuse-of-power allegations since at least December 2009, focusing on the sheriff's anti-public corruption squad. Separately, the U.S. Justice Department has accused Arpaio's office of racially profiling Latinos, basing immigration enforcement on racially charged citizen complaints and punishing Hispanic jail inmates for speaking Spanish. Arpaio denies the allegations and said the investigation is politically motivated. VOLUNTEERING Joplin survivors learn from New Orleans ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — The group came to help rebuild a city still struggling to find its way more than six years after Hurricane Katrina, and to learn some disaster recovery lessons they can take back to their own storm-ravaged Missouri community. A 14-hour bus ride and 715 miles from home, the bleary-eyed bank executives, hospital administrators and church workers from Joplin, Mo., spent much of Thursday wielding paint brushes, sledgehammers and crowbars. They made the trip to New Orleans to hear what has worked — and what hasn't — in the Louisiana city's long, slow return since Katrina. Joplin is undergoing its own recovery from a massive tornado that struck last May. "It's our job to learn these tools and pass it forward," said Jerred Hogan, a Joplin landscape surveyor who helped create Rebuild Joplin, the nonprofit group sponsoring the trip. "There's healing in those tools." But first, he and the others were hard at work to help renovate and gut a pair of homes in the Gentilly and Mid-City neighborhoods under the guidance of the St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit based in the neighboring parish that has rebuilt hundreds of homes throughout New Orleans. The New Orleans group has brought Rebuild Joplin under its corporate mantle. It's a partnership meant to overcome geographic distance, cultural differences and community size — all in the name of creating a template that organizers hope will help other cities recover from natural disasters in the future. "This is totally unique," said Zach Rosenburg, a former Washington, D.C., lawyer who helped start the St. Bernard Project after relocating to New Orleans following his Katrina volunteer stint in the summer of 2006. "We have a community that has been devastated themselves investing in us." The admiration and sense of shared obligation is reciprocal. Not just between Joplin and New Orleans, but as part of a broader network of places trying to recover from tragedy. On the long bus ride south earlier this week, the two dozen Joplin residents watched an inspirational video featuring the New York Says Thank You Foundation, a group started in 2003 by a Manhattan venture capitalist whose business partner died on the top floor of the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. and who wanted to return the nation's kindness while promoting volunteerism.

Associated Press BIRTH BATTERMAN From left, Louise Estes, holds her new-born daughter Jade as her sons Xavier, 8, and Remington, 4, sit next to their new sister at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah, Wednesday. Including Xavier and Remington, Jade is the third of Estes' five children born on Leap Day. ASSOCIATED PRESS Utah woman has third Leap Day birth ASSOCIATED PRESS PROVO, Utah — In one of the rarest feats in the annals of family planning, a Utah woman has given birth on a third consecutive Leap Day, tying a record set in the 1960s. David and Louise Estes' daughter Jade was born Wednesday morning in Provo, an hour south of Salt Lake City, four years after their son Remington was born on Feb. 29, 2008, and eight years after their son Xavier was born Feb. 29, 2004. Baby Jade was already five days overdue when doctors induced labor and the family hit the elusive date. "I have never gone over so I wasn't sure if she was going to wait." Louise told The Daily Herald of Provo. "As soon as we passed midnight I knew it really, really could happen." The only other known case of triple Leap Day babies is the Henriksen family of Norway, which logged Feb. 29 births in 1960, 1964 and 1968. Leap Days come once every four years to recalibrate the calendar and account for the 365 days and 6 hours it takes Earth to revolve around the sun. Having a Feb. 29 birthday can be both a blessing and a curse — a "Leaping" can only celebrate their true birthday once every four years. But they also joke that they age four times slower. "We're gonna try to get our oldest a car on his fourth birthday," Louise joked in an interview with KSL in Salt Lake City. The Estes family, which has two other children who weren't born on the special date, says they try to have a large celebration around the end of February and beginning of March each non-Leap Year, in place of the missing birthdate. This year, Remington and Xavier got their own special birthday cakes and celebrations. "We always make sure to celebrate their fourth and eighth birthdays in a big way," Louise said. "It is a milestone for everyone." Louise Estes said their 8-year-old son Xavier's Feb. 29 birthday was pure coincidence. But they were a bit more intentional with Leaplings No. 2 and 3. "I approached her in October of 2010 and said 'If we are going to have another baby this would be really cool,' " David told the Daily Herald. "I wanted to give her time to think about it." Louise became pregnant, but when doctors pegged her due date at Feb. 24, it looked like the masterful family planning scheme was headed for a near-miss. But the 24th passed. The 25th passed. Louise was ready to be induced by Leap Day, and the 8-pound, 13-ounce girl was born at 7:16 a.m. "We did go over by five days, which was not easy, but it's all worth it." Louise told KSL. CRIME As for trying to break the record with a Leap Day baby in 2016? "Right now the answer is obviously going to be no, but you can't be sure," David Estes said. "You never know if in four years we will be talking about it again." ASSOCIATED PRESS Woman faces charges for illegal buttox injections PHILADELPHIA — A woman who calls herself the "Black Madam" could face charges in the death of a London tourist who received illegal buttocks-enhancement injections last year in a Philadelphia hotel, police said Thursday. Padge Victoria Windslowe, 42, was arrested Wednesday night as she prepared to host a "pumping party" where she was to illegally inject clients, according to police. She faces charges including aggravated assault and deceptive practices after one of her clients, an exotic dancer, suffered serious lung problems after an injection, Philadelphia police Lt. John Walker said. Windslowe was arraigned Thursday and was being held on $10 million bail, prosecutors said. Windslow is a "person of interest" in the death of the 20-year old London woman who last year received injections at a hotel near Philadelphia International Airport, Walker said. He said she will likely be charged with murder in that case if the medical examiner rules Windlowe's injection caused the death of Claudia Aderotimi, who complained of chest pain and difficulty breathing following the procedure. No charges have been filed. "We knew she was the injector back in the 2011 (Aderotimi) case," Walker said, adding that the investigation has lingered as police awaited a ruling on the cause of Aderotimi's death. Delaware County Medical Examiner Fredric Hellman has been in communication with prosecutors and is "striving to bring the investigation into the death of Claudia Aderotimi to as speedy a resolution as possible," a spokeswoman said in a prepared statement. Hellman is awaiting results from a Food and Drug Administration lab, the statement said. A message left for an attorney who has represented Windslowe was not returned Thursday. She declined to comment as police escorted her to a waiting cruiser Wednesday night. In recent years, cases of illegal cosmetic injections causing death, disfigurement and health problems have been reported from New York City to Los Angeles and beyond. Solange Magnano, a 38-year-old model and former Miss Argentina, died in Buenos Aires in 2009 from complications after having cosmetic injections on her buttocks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA do not keep data on injuries or deaths caused by illicit cosmetic injections. In Windslowe's case, investigators describe an operation in which she had "recruiters" who went out in search of people who wanted buttocks enhancement, reaching out to potential clients via email, blogs and conversations, Walker said. Then, they would set up a time and place to meet, usually at a hotel or private residence, Walker said. The procedures cost anywhere from $700 to $1,800 in cash. Windslowe allegedly moved her operation around to avoid detection. Overall, police believe Windslowe has injected about 14 people dating to November 2011, mostly advertising through word of mouth, Walker said, with the operation moving all around the Philadelphia area. "The operation moves," Walker said. "They don't want to get caught" As part of the procedures, authorities said, Windslowe would clean the site and then inject a substance she described as silicone into the client's buttocks. When the procedure was done, she would cover the wound with glue, Walker said. During the arrest, police seized vials of superglue, needles, gloves, bottles and other items. Walker said police are conducting tests on the material that Windslowe was allegedly injecting into her clients, trying to determine what it is. In the most recent case, the victim is currently on oxygen and at home in Philadelphia but had to spend seven days in the hospital, Walker said. Windslowe's next court appearance is scheduled for March 13.

POLITICS TRENTON, N.J. — New York City's Police Department is facing mounting criticism of its secret surveillance of Muslims across the Northeast, with ACLU chapters and numerous other groups demanding an investigation and New Jersey's governor accusing the NYPD of arrogantly acting as if "their jurisdiction is the world." NYPD surveillance tactics questioned by the public ASSOCIATED PRESS The intelligence-gathering was detailed recently in a series of stories by The Associated Press, which reported that police monitored mosques and Muslims around the metropolitan area and kept tabs on Muslim student groups at universities in upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The department also sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip with college students. The tactics have stirred debate over whether the NYPD is trampling on the civil rights of Muslims and illegally engaging in religious and ethnic profiling. "They should be spending their time looking at the more specific behaviors that ought to draw their attention and make them investigate a person or a group. But simply gathering to pray or going on a whitewater rafting trip really shouldn't be a source of suspicion." Mary Catherine Roper, an attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, said Thursday. Volume 124 Issue 109 kansan.com Friday, March 2, 2012 S sports COMMENTARY More to gain on Saturday By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com We're in somewhat of basketball limbo here in Lawrence. Kansas claimed its regular season Big 12 Conference title Monday after beating Oklahoma State 70-58. After reviewing the jump-around celebration, Bill Self and the players had after the game, the Jayhawks seemed fairly pleased with their eight consecutive titles. Nevertheless, this means Senior Night will have a little less significance than in years past. You could feel the somber mood throughout Allen Fieldhouse this week. Camping at the Fieldhouse hasn't consisted of students being shoved into the hallway like sardines in a can, and Twitter isn't going into a complete frenzy like last week when Missouri and Kansas fans bantered. It feels like Kansas fans are in a state of contentment. It's a rare occurrence for any team to have nothing to play for in its last regular season game. But there is still plenty on the line for the Jayhawks. For one, Kansas is playing Texas. It's been a roller coaster year for the Longhorns. They've underperformed on their preseason predictions and are now on the bubble with a 9-8 conference record and 19-11 overall. Watching recent matchups between the two squads, Kansas does not want to give Texas any chances to make the tournament. Other than Missouri and Kansas State, Texas is one team that Jayhawk fans love to see Kansas put a beat down on. Another thing to keep Kansas motivated is the pursuit for the fifth No.1 seed in NCAA tournament in the last sixth seasons. That's a category only few programs in history have had the chance to experience. In the early '90s, North Carolina went four out of five seasons with that many bracket toppers, but never five out of six like Kansas. As long as Kansas can continue to win in the Big 12, it will join the company of only the few elite teams that have managed this feat. The Jayhawks' streak of home-court victories is also on the line. Kansas takes so much pride in their home court advantage. One of the one of the greatest regular season accomplishments any sports team can have is a zero next to its home mark. Finally, you want to send the seniors out on the right note. It's almost a given every year that Kansas will win this game. Kansas hasn't lost a Senior Night contest since the Ronald Reagan administration. These three seniors, Conner Teahan, Jordan Juenemann and Tyshawn Taylor have seen their roles change, but through everything they have four Big 12 Championship rings on their fingers. They all deserve to be shedding tears of joy while they address the crowd on Saturday. Aishah Sutherland goes down memory lane before she leaves Kansas PAGE 6B One more game at Allen Fieldhouse PAGE 4B-5B 1 MORE YEAR! 10 OF THE STEAK DINNERS Senior Night is a special tradition for this program, and should be topped off with a victory. Plus, Tyshawn's speech will be worth the watch, no matter how the game ends. Edited by Anna Allen SENIOR STAGE TAYLOR'S BIG NIGHT MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com If senior guard Tyshawn Taylor had a choice, he'd skip his speech on senior night and just tweet it. "Public speaking isn't my best thing," Taylor said. "I'd definitely rather do it over social media or something." If only life was so easy, Tyshawn. He'll have a couple of aunts in town from New Jersey and Florida, along with cousins and homeboys, as he calls them, from back from home. Oh, there's also an entire nation of Kansas basketball fans that will tune in for his last hurrah. No, Tyshawn, after all you've been through, a tweet just won't do. "Now that I look back on it, it's like 'dang, it went fast,' Taylor said. "But it sure was a long process." With much of the attention on the seniors and the looming postseason, coach Bill Self knows to not forget about the Longhorns, a team that nearly upset the Jayhawks earlier this season but lost by three points. Taylor and fellow senior guards Conner Teahan and Jordan Juenemann will be honored Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse after No. 3 Kansas (25-5, 15-2) takes on the Texas Longhorns. "They could easily come in here and rock our world," Self said. On Jan. 21 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, guard J'Covan Brown shot just 26.9 percent from the field, but he still scored 24 points. Self said that Brown's points are inevitable. The key is to limit his open shots and transition opportunities. In Monday's 70-58 victory at Oklahoma State, when Kansas claimed its eighth consecutive Big 12 conference title, guard Keiton Page scored 12 points by halftime, but the Cowboys had just 22 points and trailed by eight. KANSAS 10 TEXAS 0 "I've never been one to say: 'Let's stop him,' Self said. "I'd rather stop them." Taylor said he will try to fight the emotions of the night and just play his game. Still, Saturday night will be a special time for him. In his first three years at Kansas, fans maligned Taylor for his tiff with the football team and his suspensions, controversial tweets and turnovers. Now as a senior who has elevated his game and matured into leader, Taylor knows that he has grown. "I feel like it's a big difference between the freshman Tyshawn and the senior Tyshawn," Taylor said. "I glad to see the change I made." Teahan said that despite not playing often when he was younger, he never regretted his decision to come to Kansas. “If I had that opportunity,” Teahan said, “regardless of what the opportunity was, I was going to take it.” Juvenemann, a fan favorite who draws ovations every time he enters games, will start on Saturday in place of junior guard Travis Releford. "I just wanted to be on the team, have a jersey and practice," Juenemann said. "Here I am four years later, and I'm going to give a speech on Saturday." TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Taylor said he knows that Juen-emann will take full advantage of the time he plays, just like he always has. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor attempts a floater against Texas' defense during the second half of the game on Jan. 21. Taylor scored 22 points and Kansas won 69-66. As for himself? He'll try to hold back the tears. - Edited by Ian Cummings "I'm definitely going to try," Taylor said. "But I know my mom's a crybaby. Once I see her up there bawling, I'll probably shed a few." WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Kansas collecting close-game losses VIRGINIA TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Coach Bonnie Henrickson strategizes with assistant coach Chester Nichols during the last minutes of Wednesday's game. Kansas lost 66-63 against Oklahoma State. Coach Bonnie Henrickson realizes the trend, but is not making excuses. The Jayhawks built up a nine-point lead in the second half, but gave up a 12-0 run and lost the game 66-63 to Oklahoma State with a turnover in the final minute. KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com This Kansas team is no stranger to a late-game heartbreak. Six of Kansas' 11 losses have been decided by six points or fewer and another game was added to the pile on Wednesday night. "We talk about being in a one-possession league all year and we make too many mistakes in things that we can control." Henrickson said. Kansas has dropped five of its last six games and fallen to 18-11 overall and 7-10 in conference play. "We dug ourselves a hole now," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "We have to win this next game." Kansas will have one more chance to pull out a regular season victory when it faces Oklahoma at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Goodrich led the Jayhawks in scoring with 18 points followed by junior forward Carolyn Davis with 17 and junior guard Monica Engelman with 11. The last game with Oklahoma was one of the two possession losses. The Jayhawks had the lead throughout most of the game, but allowed the Sooners to force overtime. Oklahoma outscored Kansas 10-4 in the final segment and won the game. Freshman guard Sharane Campbell led the Sooners with 23 points off the bench. Junior guard Whitney Hand added another 16 points. Oklahoma sits at 19-10 overall and 11-6 in conference play, which is third in the conference. The Jayhawks are in a three-way tie for sixth place. The Jayhawks are not only fighting for their record, but a higher seed in next week's Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland said the Jayhawks need to be more aggressive on offense and defense if they want to win this weekend. Career-high performances from three different players drove the Jayhawks in the battle with the Cowgirls on Wednesday. Goodrich led the team with a career-high 11 rebounds. Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds, both career highs. Sophomore guard CeCe Harper added a career-high 10 points. "We need to go in there focused and go in there waiting to attack." Sutherland said. However Sutherland was the star of the night. She led Kansas with 23 points and 10 rebounds on her senior night. She scored the first Kansas points and scored another six out of halftime to kick off her 17-point second half. Inconsistency and poor shooting allowed Oklahoma State to battle back in the game and eventually win. "There is nothing we can do about this game," Sutherland said. "We need to focus on the next game and win that one." - Edited by Max Rothman PAGE 2B FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN QUOTE OF THE DAY "You never know in the tournament. That's why they call it March Madness. Half of it is believing." Brian Giorgis. Marist women's basketball coach FACT FACT OF THE DAY Kansas coach Phog Allen is noted as being the creator of the men's NCAA tournament. The first tournament was in 1939. --- Espnamerica.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many years has the Final Four been all No. 1 seeds? A: One. 2008 was the first year that the Final Four had all No.1 seeds: Kansas, North Carolina, Memphis and UCLA. ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW Team expansion makes bracketing hard B Before you know it, you will have to fill your NCAA tournament bracket on a 22-inch by 28-inch poster board you had to buy from Office Depot. After gradually expanding from 40 to 53 teams throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, the NCAA tournament finally grew to 64 teams, beginning in 1985. Was it too many? Probably, but it was a nice even number you could divide into four regions and everything seemed fine and dandy. That content feeling lasted until the summer of 2010. Apparently the NCAA's bank account didn't have as many zeros as they liked and they felt further expansion was necessary, this time to 68 teams. Now, eight teams battle it out in the "first round" for the final two 16-seeds By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com and two more higher seeds, normally a 12 or 13 seed. So if you want to pick Wichita State to lose in the first round, you can't look at Miami's stats and see if an upset is possible. You have to figure out if Miami will beat Xavier for the chance to even play Wichita State. Sound confusing? It's really not. It's just dumb. For the proponents of tournament expansion, (mainly Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg. Look him up, he complains to the high heavens every March when his 19-12 Virginia Tech team is left out of the dance) Butler's back-to-back title game appearances and VCU's final four last year are quickly brought up. That's great and all, but last time I checked, those teams didn't cut down the nets and quite frankly, were total flukes. If the goal is to crown the best team in the country, a 68-team tournament is about as useful as using a blind person to judge a beauty pageant. But as we all know, the NCAA tournament's main goal isn't to make sure it crowns the nation's best team. As long as Joe Schmo and Sally from accounting print out their brackets and pick winners based on mascots and KU what their 2-year old daughter wants and watch every game after not seeing a ball bounce all season, things won't change because ratings will soar. Expansion is not always a bad thing, but with most anything in life revolving around money, contraction is not part of anyone's vocabulary. And it should be because nobody likes writing on poster boards.

The Jayhawks enter the weekend with a 5-2 record, coming off a dominating 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State. Despite the recent offensive flurry, the early focus around the Jayhawks continues to be on the pitching staff. Kansas' 1.37 ERA and .169 opponent batting average tops the Big 12 Conference through seven games. Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor has been especially impressive. Taylor has yet to give up a run in 14 innings pitched, but his 1-0 record will be put to the test Sunday against undefeated, 7-0 Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are one of the hottest teams in the country, but Taylor has no plans to change his approach. "They're going to be good hitters just like everyone," Taylor said. "They're definitely hot right now, but MARQUES Taylor Benjamin 25 I have a lot of confidence going into this game also. I am going to try to not think too much and just attack each hitter." The Bulldogs plan to start their best arm against the Jayhawks on Sunday. Senior right-hander Andy Hunter is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA, but it is his overpowering 12 strikeouts to just three walks that will put pressure on Kansas to execute offensively. "Hunter is a big, strong, right-handed guy who throws 93-94, and he even hit two home runs when we played him two years ago," coach Ritch Price said. "They are a quality mid-major team; they are well-coached and have been successful for a long time." The Jayhawks will also take on Texas-San Antonio and Louisiana Lafayette for the first two games of the weekend. Kansas' Friday night starter Frank Duncan looks to follow up his impressive performance against Mississippi Valley State last week with a strong outing against Texas-San Antonio. Duncan took a no-hitter into the seventh inning last Friday to earn his second win of the season. The Road Runners are 6-3, and Friday's starter Casey Sensor will put his undefeated, 2-0 record to the test against Duncan. Freshman 0. 68 ERA. While some would expect a freshman pitcher to struggle, catcher James Stanfield said that Benjamin looks more like a seasoned veteran on the "I am going to think too much attack each hit r "I am going to try to not think too much and just attack each hitter." THOMAS TAYLOR Pitcher pitcher Wes Benjamin will face Louisiana Lafayette on Saturday. Benjamin has been outstanding through his first two collegiate starts, posting a 1-0 record and mound. "Wes has maturity beyond his years," catcher James Stanfield said. "He pitches like a junior out there." This weekend's road trip will be the final series before the Jayhawks return to Hoglund Ballpark for the first home game of the season Tuesday afternoon against North Dakota. A road-heavy schedule can often result in some early losses, but the Jayhawks said they embrace road trips as a time to build chemistry and prepare for the challenging Big 12 season. "It helps out a lot with all of us sitting on the bus and in the hotel room hanging out," Taylor said. "We get to know each other a lot better than if we were just here and meeting at the field. It's been fun." — Edited by Max Rothman TRACK AND FIELD Runners and pole vaulters try to qualify for nationals MAX GOODWIN mggoodwin@kansan.com Today is the last chance for track and field athletes to qualify for the NCAA National Championship meet. The Jayhawks that have been chosen to compete were separated into two groups. Half will compete at the Alex Wilson Invitational at the University Of Notre Dame, and half will compete in the Arkansas Qualifier at The University Of Arkansas. In each track and field event there is a predetermined mark set for automatic qualification to the NCAA National Championship meet, and any athlete that achieves a mark as good or better than the automatic qualification mark earns the opportunity to compete in the NCAA National Championship. In the Alex Wilson Invitational, coach Stanley Redwine has sent both men's and women's distance medley relay teams to compete. The men's 4x400-meter relay team will also run for a last chance to qualify. Senior Donny Wasinger and sophomore Josh Munsch are set to race in the mile race, senior Kyle Clemons will compete in the 400-meter, and senior Zach Zarda will run in the 3,000-meter race. In Arkansas, the Jayhawks have athletes in the 800-meter races and pole vault competitions. In the men's 800, sophomores Nick Seckfort and Brendan Soucie will run and sophomore Maddy Rich will run the women's 800. Sophomore Demy Payne is ranked 19th in the nation for the pole vault and is close to the NCAA qualification mark. Sophomore Alex Bishop and freshman Greg Lupton will also compete to improve their season best marks. Six Jayhawks have already earned their way to nationals.

The Jawhawks lost 66-63. KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Aishah Sutherland said she doesn't even remember her first run through the Kansas tunnel. Her first vivid memory as a Jayhawk was the WNIT Championship game on April 4, 2009, she said. Sutherland, a senior forward, ran through that same tunnel for the last regular season game of her Kansas career Wednesday night. She led Kansas with 23 points and added 10 rebounds in a 66-63 loss to Oklahoma State with her parents looking on from the stands. Aner the game, she was honored as the team's lone senior. The announcer talked about her career achievements, including her 1,000 point and 500 rebound milestones earlier in the season. She currently has 1,160 points and 877 rebounds at Kansas. Sutherland walked in on a path of red and blue carnations and was presented with a framed jersey. She met each teammate and coach with a hug and a smile before they all trailed back to the locker room. "Sometimes you just can't believe it." Sutherland said. "It is like a routine that you keep playing. You are here all the time and you don't know anything but it, and now it's about to be over." Sutherland came to Lawrence from Pertis, Cali, four years ago. She moved hundreds of miles away from her mother, her father — who taught her how to play — and her little sister, who plans to play basketball at the University of Arizona next season. She only returns home two or three times a year, but claims she has never adjusted to the weather. Sutherland grew up with basketball goals in her yard where her father, Clinton, taught her how to dribble. Through high school she developed a turn-around jumper on those same courts. Once she landed in Kansas, she figured out pretty quickly she would have to practice indoors during the hot summers and cold winters. Sutherland has adjusted to everything else though, with the help and support of her teammates and coaches. She said she spends hours watching tape and talking to assistant coach Tory Verdi, and rattled off a list of former players she still keeps in touch with. "She has recognized that she is surrounded by people who love her to death and come to work every day to make her successful," Henrickson said. Sutherland said these are the connections she will miss when she leaves at the end of the season. "I love this team because they really care," Sutherland said. "I really love my teammates." Sutherland came into the program with junior guard Angel Goodrich. Goodrich's early career was marred by two consecutive ACL tears, and she fell behind after a redshirt season, leaving Sutherland alone in a class of her own. Sutherland said it was lonely as a freshman, but she didn't mind the spotlight on Senior Night. "It itse like yesterday was our freshman year and we were talking about our senior year and then things changed, but I am proud of her." Goodrich said. Goodrich has watched Sutherland play for four years and has been most impressed with her development. "Her game has really grown and she has grown as a person she has done so well and we need that from her," Goodrich said. Sutherland's father played for the University of Cincinnati and played professionally overseas. She is hoping for a chance in the WNBA draft in April. She has started every game this season, averaging 13.6 points and 9.1 rebounds a game. She is ranked second in blocks, third in rebounds, and 17th in scoring for Kansas women's basketball. "She is one of the most athletic players I have ever coached, without hesitation, and I have been blessed to coach some really talented players," Henrickson said. She wants more than anything to leave this program with an NCAA Tournament appearance, and the team will look to her in the next two games to make that dream come true. Sutherland said she wants to leave the program as an example. She has played as a secondary player for most of her career here, but has taken over and led the team when they needed her most. She preaches dedication and the importance of practice. For her, it's been very rewarding. "I want people to look back, see my name on the wall and think 'I want to play like she played in this program,' Sutherland said. TENNIS Edited by Ian Cummings Jayhawks prepare for weekend of ranked competitors CORBIN MIHELIC cmihelic@kansan.com Tune-up matches are in the past for the undefeated Kansas women's tennis team. This weekend, the Jayhawks travel to Tulsa, Okla., to take on Tulsa and North Texas—their first matches against ranked foes this season. Tulsa is No. 30 in this week's ITA team rankings, while North Texas is 10 spots lower at No. 40. Despite a 7-0 start to dual play, "I think the girls are really excited about playing some ranked teams this weekend an P Hall-Holt getting to see where we are actually standing," said Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt. The matches this weekend are the team's last non-conference du- als before beginning conference play one week from today. The Jayhawks will play North Texas on Saturday and face the host, Golden Hurricane, Sunday. Both matches are set to begin at noon on their respective days. "The competition level will be harder, but I feel like we will match up well just because we have so much talent on our team and we have a lot of grinders," said sophomore tennis player Dylan Windom. "I feel like it's going to be a great weekend this weekend." At 8-4, North Texas will likely be the toughest competition Kansas has faced to date. Six of the 12 matches the North Texas Mean Green have played this year were against ranked teams, including 4-3 wins over No. 50 Cal Poly and No. 53 Kansas State. The Golden Hurricane is probably an even bigger challenge for the Jayhawks, after beginning their season 7-2. Tulsa has also taken down Kansas State, No. 31 Oklahoma and No. 33 North Carolina State, with its only losses coming to top-25 teams. "When we're playing points against each other, you've got to rise to the level of your competitor" Hall-Holt said. "I felt last week, with the level that' we played on, right now we feel very confident and we can compete with anybody" Despite being unranked as a team, one of Kansas' very own joined this week's individual singles rankings. Freshman Maria Belen Ludueña, who is one of two Jay-hawks undefeated in singles play, is now ranked No. 118 in the ITA Division I Rankings. "I feel so good and I'm so happy because I have a ranking," Ludueña said. "It's amazing for me because when I came here, I thought the first three months would be so difficult."

It's Senior Night for guards Tyshawn Taylor, Conner Teahan and Jordan Jenemann. Taylor has had a meteoric rise in the conference season, ascending from bust to star. Teahan hasn't made shots consistently, but his four three-pointers against Missouri may have saved the day. And who could forget Juenemann? He plays when it never matters, yet he somehow captivates onlookers and makes the moment seem important. And then there's Thomas Robinson. Though not official, this may be the final game for one of Kansas' all-time great players. PLAYER TO WATCH Tyshawn Taylor, Senior guard While Jeff Withey has the most to prove on Saturday, Taylor is the one guy you don't want to miss. His final game at Allen Fieldhouse will surely be heartfelt. Kansas fans used to knock the guy for his immaturity. He's matured into a vocal leader and a consistent cog, both as a scorer and facilitator. Coach Bill Self said that Taylor has been one of the most special players that spent four years in Lawrence. Don't miss his last go-round. PETER LEMOND Taylor QUESTION MARK Will this be the last of Thomas Robinson at Allen Fieldhouse? Robinson seems to be a lock as a lottery pick in April's NBA draft. In an effort to support himself and his sister Jayla, it would be understandable if Robinson left a year early for the league. If he does so, Saturday will be the last of Robinson in the Fieldhouse. For all his highlight dunks and forceful rebounds, the past is moot. All who bleed crimson and blue have taken Robinson under their wing and now consider him family. Remember this game. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "He has meant about as much to our program as anybody that's been here four years." Bill Self on Tyshawn Taylor BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF... Once the game begins, the Jayhawks forget about Saturday as the last game for the seniors, and just play their game. COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Longhorns on the ropes Kansas plans to mess with Texas on Senior Night NO. 4 KANSAS VS. TEXAS 8 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE Taylor PRESIDENT Johnson KANSAS (25-5,15-2) STARTERS PRESIDENT Releford Robinson TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD Taylor was once the most hated. Now he's one of the, if not the most, adored. He was once a top talent stuck as a role player behind Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins. Now, along with junior forward Thomas Robinson, he's an unquestionable leader. And he's got a Big 12 title to show for it. My, how time flies. D.J. HOLT ★★★★★ ELIJAH JOHNSON. GUARD Withey This will be Johnson's last game at Allen Fieldhouse in the shadows of Taylor. Next season, barring some unlikely recruit or an injury, he will take over the role as the starting point guard. The numbers are piecing together to indicate this switch. He's recorded 14 assists and just two turnovers in his past two games. PETER ROBINSON TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD So maybe Self was wrong when he expected at least 10 points from Releford every game. So what? Releford has anchored the defense, Kansas' greatest strength as a team. His jump shot has been quite ugly as of late, but his energy and dependability will always be there. Sometimes a team needs guys like that. ★★★☆★ THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD While Robinson is only a junior, his stock will probably never be higher, so he'll likely leave for the NBA after this season. This means that Robinson, the darling of Kansas hoops, the player who Lawrence embraced as its son after all the tragedies, will likely play his last game at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday. Savor Robinson, a rare treat, while he's still here. ★★★☆☆ JEFF WITHEY, CENTER ★★★★ Withey sandwiched the Missouri games with the best five-game stretch of his career, averaging 16.2 points, 10.2 reboundes and 5.4 blocks per game. Since then, he's nursed a minor ankle injury and played with the lack of aggression that once made him a scapegoat in these parts. Withey is the one Jayhawk with something to prove on Saturday. ★★★☆☆ TEXAS (19-11, 9-9-8) STARTERS MYCK KABONGO, GUARD The former McDonald's High School All-American hasn't disappointed in his first season at Texas. He averages 10.1 points and 5.3 assists per game and has started all 30 games for the Longhorns. He finished with just one point in Wednesday's victory over Oklahoma but handed out nine assists. LAKERS Kabongo ★★★☆ SHELDON MCCLELLAN, GUARD CHICAGO BULLS McClellan Another true freshman, McCllan had a season-high 24 points on 10-for-18 shooting against Oklahoma Wednesday night. He's appeared in every game for the Longhorns and averages 11.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. His scoring has been hit or miss and he usually defends to other scorers. ★★★☆☆ Brown J'COVAN BROWN. GUARD Brown is the best players on the Texas roster and is one of the best in the Big 12 conference. He leads the conference with 19.8 points per game and is always a threat to have a huge offensive game, no matter the opponent. He's not the most efficient player, however, as most of his big games come from a high volume of shots. ★★★★★ ALEXIS WANGMENE. FORWARD Nike Wangmene Wangmene is one of the few seniors in the Longhorn rotation. His stats don't show much (4.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game) but his 6-foot-7, 241-pound body can be tough for opposing big men in the paint. Wangmene played just 15 minutes in the first meeting with Kansas and was held scoreless with four rebounds. ★★☆★★ CLINT CHAPMAN, CENTER Chapman recently worked his way into a starting spot in his fifth year with the Longhorns after starting just two games coming into this season. He averages 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in his 21.1 minutes per game. He had a season-high 20 points in a victory over Texas Tech back on Feb. 4. CARLOTTE Chapman ★★★☆☆ MAX ROTHMAN maxrothman@kansan.com -Kevin Young KORY CARPENTE kcarpenter@kansan.c KU KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Prediction: Kansas 79, Texas 69 TEXAS TIPOFF T AT A GLANC It's been a rebuilding year in Austin for coach Rick Barnes. The Longhorns have had to rely on freshman for most of the season and the win/loss record has reflected that. Four of the top five leaders in minutes per game are true freshman and only three of the eight players in the rotations are upperclassmen. Texas is 19-11 on the season and 9-8 in the Big 12, still looking for a signature victory to put on their NCAA tournament resume. They've been swept by Missouri and Baylor and going winless against Kansas as well would severely hurt their chances of avoiding the NIT. PLAYER TO WATCH J'Covan Brown, guard Brown Pronun Brown is averaging 19.8 points per game this season is one of the best scorers in the Big 12. He's had 25 points or more on five occasions this season and finished with 24 points in the first meeting with Kansas on Jan. 21. He's been consistent in Big 12 play as well, tallying at least 12 points in each of his last 15 games. QUESTION MARK Will the freshmen stay composed? As noted, the Longhorns are led by a bevy of freshmen. They've almost certainly never seen an atmosphere like they're set to witness on Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse. An emotional Senior Night and the appearance of the Big 12 Championship trophy will keep the crowd at a fever pitch all night and it will put a mental strain on the Longhorn players to stay composed for 40 minutes. HEAR YE. HEAR YE "These guys have been doing it all year. When they need to get it done, they do it." Texas coach Rick Barnes on his players BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF... J'Covan Brown shoots a high percentage from the field and creates opportunities for his teammates.

"He can be frustrating," coach Bill Self said before the start of Big 12 play, "but he can make plays you can't coach and he can make plays that make you wonder if he's ever been coached. But that's him, I'm glad we got him." Since Big 12 play began, Taylor has taken his game to a higher level, launching himself into the First Team All-American discussion despite being left off the list of finalists for the Bob Cousy award as the nation's top point guard. DEFINING MOMENT After missing two must-make free throws late in the Missouri game in Colombia, Taylor responded when the Border Showdown returned to the Phog for the final time by sinking two free throws to give the Jayhawks a one-point overtime victory. Taylor played 44 of a possible 45 minutes in his penultimate game in the Fieldhouse, scoring 24 points and committing only one turnover. O'Reilly AND PARK TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FILE PHOTO KANSAS 2 KANSAN FILE PHOTO CONNER TEAHAN ACCOLADES Five-time Big 12 Conference champion (2010-11 redshirt) Three-time Big 12 Tournament Champion 2008 National Champion Two-time Missouri High School Gatorade Player of the Year OVERVIEW As a walk-on, Teahan appeared in 21 games during the Jayhawks' 2008 national championship run, including mop-up time in the final minute of the national semifinal against North Carolina. Teahan made a much-publicized jump to the football team in the spring of 2010, but after that didn't work out, he returned to the basketball team. In his senior season, Teahan has become a consistent contributor to the Jayhawks as the team's three-point specialist. DEFINING MOMENT The Leawood native came up huge in the Jayhawks' overtime victory over Missouri. He logged a career-high 37 minutes and made all four of his three-point shots, as the Jayhawks overcame a 19-point second half deficit to claim their eighth consecutive Big 12 title.

He has appeared in 41 games during his time as a Jayhawk and is a career .436 three-point shooter. An excellent student, Juenemann has made the Athletic Director's and Big 12 Commissioner's honor rolls four times in his career. DEFINING MOMENT Against Texas Tech on Feb. 18, Juenemann set a career high by scoring seven points in four minutes of play. He finished the day a perfect three-for -three from the field as the Jayhawks went on to defeat the Red Raiders by 33 points.

All club members must pass a qualification test to be able to use the technology and the equipment ELISE REUTER ereuter@kansan.com KHJK radio is not the only campus radio station. Tucked in a corner of Learned Hall, the KU Amateur Radio Club has a long-standing history with the University. Since it was formed in 1952, KU students have used the radios in the room, known as HAM radios, to communicate with and compete against people from across the globe. For most competitions, the goal is to contact as many people from a given area state or world wide as possible. Long-distance contact is known as DXing, which is possible thanks to two large antennae on the roof of Learned. "Using this equipment, I've talked to people in France, Italy, Chile and Great Britain," said Michael Shook, a senior from Peoria, Ill., in the Amateur Radio Club. "I really like DXing and talking to someone from tens of thousands of miles away." Right now, there are a few upcoming amateur radio competitions, including one focused on contacting people from Kansas. Another competition, known as Field Day, takes place during the summer, where over 35,000 HAM radio operators from the United States and Canada participate in a variety of contests. Last year the club took home a first place medal from the Kansas QSO Party competition, a competition that is based on the number of conversations a station can havein 24 hours. This year, the club hopes for another win. Right now the club has seven members, but the flexibility of the club allows members to be as active as they want: "You can go in and use the radios, or participate in competitions whenever you want," said club president Riley Dunn, a senior from Overland Park. "In order to use the radios you have to take a test, but it's really just for anybody who's interested in radios." Competitions aren't the only use for HAM radios. Sometimes club members will sit inside the radio room while doing their homework, and talk to people who are on at the same time. "You can just have general conversations. People do it on their way home from work, or spend time at night talking to people," Shook said. There are only 732,102 licensed HAM radio operators in all of the United States. HAM radio is a niche hobby While most radios have fallen out of use, HAM radios still have a few practical applications today. The radios were originally used for storm chasing, before the rise of the cell phone. "People who tracked storms used to either find a land-line to contact the National Weather Service, or carry HAM radios with them," Shook said. "With cell phones and the internet and stuff, it's not as necessary as it used to be. It's still useful for emergency communications, like with the tornado last Tuesday. When cell phone towers are wiped out and there are no communications, HAM radio operators go in and set up protocol." The club at the University began after the Kaw river flood in 1951, and it gave itself the club call sign, W0AHW. A call sign is what HAM radio operators use to identify themselves when contacting other HAM Radio users. Eventually, the club shortened its call sign to its current name, KOKU. Edited by Caroline Kraft KANSAS BASKETBALL McLemore's attorney suggests entrapment RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com Ben McLemore, a University basketball player, had a hearing in Douglas County District Court Friday for a minor in possession citation he received at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., in Novem- ber. McLemore's attorney, Al Lopes, asked Judge Peggy Kittel to orde M. ABU MUHAMMAD prosecutors to release Alcohol and Beverage Control documents, including field notes, evidence sheets and a policy and procedure manual. He also requested officer and decoy names, saying all were necessary to formulate his defense McLemore was entrapped by an ABC officer. McLemore Lopes alleged a decoy was used to entrap McLemore, a freshman from St. Louis, on Nov. 4. McLemore, who is ineligible to play this season, entered the bar using his own identification, wore a wristband identifying him as a minor and didn't approach the bar. Lopes said a woman, whom McLemore didn't know, asked him what he wanted to drink. "How did the agent know unless that girl told him?" Lopes said. "The bartender wouldn't remember. That white girl told him, and there is no other conclusion that is reasonable." "He said Red Bull and vodka," Lopes said, alleging that the woman returned, put the drink on the table and left, never telling her name. Minutes later, an ABC officer approached, took the cup and cited McLemore, who said he was trying to dispose of the cup at the time. Mark Simpson, assistant district attorney, told the judge that the prosecution had given Lopes all the information it had in the case and no evidence logs or field notes existed. Lopes questioned how the officer learned the cup's contents, because McLemore said he never told the officer what was in the cup. Though the contents of the cup have not been tested — but can be at McLemore's expense — the officer who cited McLemore said the杯 contained Red Bull and vodka. "He wants documents that dissert facts that don't exist," Simpson said. "There are no other documents to disclose that I know of." Simpson said the ABC officer Simpson said he would ask for an ABC policy and procedure manual for Lopes, though Judge Kittel said that was not a function of the district attorney's office, and if Simpson did not provide a manual, Lopes would need to subpoena the information. was acting alone when McLemore was seen drinking during a regular bar check, and a vial of McLemore's cup was stored in the officer's locker. If Lopes finds information indicating McLemore was not entrapped, he said he would not drag out the case. "I don't know how this is going to be resolved short of trial unless you all figure out a different disposition," Kittel said. "As far as the woman goes, there are no facts to support this assertion." Simpson said. "If I come across something that says 'Whoa, your guy is really going to need to be held accountable for his actions', I won't waste anyone's time," Lopes said. The next hearing is scheduled for May 29, when a trial date could be set. CLASSIFIEDS 11 CROSSWORD 4 Edited by Christine Curtin City laws prevent slaying of chickens for artist's project The chickens were slated to be slaughtered as part of a project, "The Story of Chickens: A Revolution," by the University's artist in residence Amber Hansen. Hansen tentatively planned on displaying the chickens in a coop near downtown Lawrence for several weeks before killing, cooking and serving them during a public dinner. Hansen's goal is to show how far removed people have become from the food they eat. KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Some students immediately wondered whether Hansen's project would violate animal cruelty laws. "This is legal?" said Jessica Joffe, a sophomore from St. Louis, when she first heard the chickens would be killed. "I feel like she could make her point some other way." For five chickens that were almost killed. "The Story of Chickens" has a happy ending. Index Now Hansen has to. LAWRENCE Last week, she was informed that slaughtering the animals in Lawrence would violate the city's animal cruelty ordinances. She revised the project, which will no longer include any chickens. CRYPTOQUIPS 4 OPINION 5 Animal Outreach of Kansas founder Judy Carman worked to prevent the project from happening by reaching out to other animal rights advocates throughout the country and encouraging people to voice their concerns on the Spencer Museum of Art's Facebook. Last week, Carman and retired University professor Beth Schultz met with Hansen to discuss her project. Hansen offered to let Carman and Schultz speak at the finale on April 21. She is also allowing a vegan chef to prepare food at the finale dinner and gave permission for local artists to display work related to animal rights at a March 30 art display at The Lawrence Percolator, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing art and culture to audiences in town, at 1022 New Jersey. An empty coop will instead be displayed, according to Hansen's blog through RocketGrants.org. The artist did not respond to requests for a comment. Carman is grateful that the project gave animal rights advocates a chance to communicate their ideas. "It's given us a wonderful opportunity to talk publicly and raise awareness, get people Karen Davis, president of United Poultry Concerns, a Virginia-based organization that promotes fair treatment of chickens and other domestic fowl, was also active in protesting Hansen's project. She issued five alerts relating to "The Story of Chickens" through UPC's website and published letters from prominent artists asking Hansen not to proceed with her project. Although Davis was upset about the chickens being confined, displayed, killed and eaten, she was also concerned about Hansen's suggestion that there are humane ways to farm chickens. "People often think because they're told, misleadingly, that factory farming is the result of big corporations, whereas family farming is some kind of Hallmark card type of experience where animals are treated humanely and with respect," Davis said. "That is not the case." thinking about that," Carman said. "And that really was her goal to get people thinking about where the animals eat, come from and what they go through."

Leading in delegates to the national convention, Romney looked to defend his front-runner standing even while rivals Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul sought to keep their candidacies afloat. "The voters of Washington have sent a signal that they do not want a Washington insider in the White House. They want a conservative businessman who understands the private sector and knows how to get the federal government out of the way so that the economy can once again grow vigorously," Romney said in a statement Saturday night before heading to Sunday campaign stops in Georgia and Tennessee. Rick Santorum, in search of his first wins since Feb. 7, urged Ohio Republicans not to heed those who cast Romney as the inevitable nominee. He said the race was far from over, even as he was locked in a tight race in Washington state for second place with Paul. "We need someone who can go out and make the case, not with the most money, but with the best ideas, the best vision, the best track record." Santorum said in Bowling Green, Ohio. "Go out and make this election about big things." Meanwhile, Gingrich blithed the Sunday talk shows, appearing on four national morning programs but planned no campaign events with actual voters, reflecting his strategy of using media appearances to offset his advertising and organizational disadvantages. Gingrich, leading in the polls in his home state of Georgia, is looking for his first victory since his lone win in South Carolina on Jan. 21. PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SPRING 2012 GRAD FAIR Gingrich called Georgia, his home state, "vital to the campaign" and said that despite a lot of money spent against him, "I think we're going to win decisively."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012 PAGE 3A NEWS OF THE WORLD --- Associated Press EUROPE 地球仪 Poland has worst train crash in 20 years SZCZEKOCINY, Poland — Two trains running on the same track collided head-on in southern Poland in a shower of sparks, killing 16 people and injuring 58 in the country's worst train disaster in more than 20 years. The crash near Krakow turned cars at the front of each train into heaps of mangled metal and toppled others on their sides. Neighbors in the town of Szczekociny alerted by what they said sounded like a bomb rushed to the scene to smash open windows, and survivors emerged in a state of shock, many crying out for help and carrying baggage. One of the trains was on the wrong track. Maintenance work was being done on the tracks before the accident, but officials said it's too early to determine the cause of the disaster. A woman living in a house about 200 meters from the site of the accident said she was standing at her window when the two trains collided, creating a "terrible, terrible noise — like a bomb going off." An unnamed passenger interviewed on the all-news station TVN24 said he felt the force of the collision. B "I hit the person in front of me. The lights went out. Everything flew," he said. "We flew over the compartment like bags. We could hear screams. We prayed." The U.S. consulate in Krakow said an American woman was among the dead and her family had been informed. Spokesman Benjamin Ousley said he could give no more information and that Polish authorities would release further details at a later point. Two trains collided head-on near the town of Szczecikony, southern Poland killing more than a dozen people and injuring more than 50 late Saturday. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASIA North Korean troops on high alert SEOUL, South Korea North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the heavily armed border with rival South Korea and ordered troops to be on high alert, state media reported Sunday, just days after Washington and Pyongyang agreed to a nuclear deal after years of deadlock. Kim's visit to Panmunjom village in the Demilitarized Zone comes amid escalating militaristic rhetoric aimed at U.S. ally South Korea. During his Pamunjian visit, Kim Jong Un told troops to "maintain the maximum alertness as they are standing in confrontation with the enemies at all times." Recent North Korean threats appear to be aimed at a domestic audience, analysts say, and could be an effort to bolster Kim Jong Un's credentials as a military leader after showing off his diplomatic skills on the U.S. nuclear deal. In rhetoric typical of the North, military chief Ri Yong Ho warned in a speech that the North Korean army would "sweep out" the South Korean traitors using their guns, according to footage from North Korea's state TV. North Korea accuses the United States and South Korea of holding the joint military drills as preparation for a northward invasion. The allies say the military exercises, which began last week and are scheduled to end in late April, are routine and defensive in nature. EUROPE Opponents refute Putin's poll results MOSCOW — Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Sunday claimed victory in Russia's presidential election before tens of thousands of cheering supporters, even as the opposition and independent observers insisted the vote had been marred by wide- Putin spread violations. At a massive rally just outside the Kremlin, Putin thanked his supporters for helping foil plots aimed at destroying Russia, sounding a nationalistic theme that has resonated with his core supporters. "I have promised that we would win and we have won!" he shouted to the flag-waving crowd, which responded with shouts of support. "We have won in an open and honest struggle." Putin tallied 58-59 percent of Sunday's vote, according to exit polls cited by state television. Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov received about 18 percent, according to the survey, and the others were in single digits. With about 30 percent of all precincts counted, Putin was leading the field with 64 percent of the vote, the Central Election Commission said. If thousands of claims of violations made by independent observers and Putin's foes are confirmed, they would undermine the legitimacy of his victory and fuel protests. The opposition is gearing up for a massive rally in downtown Moscow on Monday. AFRICA BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — Blasts rocked the capital of the Republic of Congo on Sunday, after a weapons depot caught fire, officials said, killing at least 206 people and pinning countless others underneath collapsed buildings, including a church. A morgue in Brazzaville took in 136 bodies Sunday afternoon, as more continued to arrive. A local hospital reported at least 237 patients wounded in the blasts. Ammunition depot explosion flattens buildings, kills more than 200 people Didier Boutsindi of the presidential office said untold numbers of people were trapped in St. Louis church, which collapsed. "Many of the faithful are trapped in the debris of the church," he said. "Several of the dead have been taken out and I confirm there are more deaths inside." He said others were killed in their homes. Sunday's blasts flattened buildings and shattered windows in the northern part of Brazzaville and sent more than 2,000 fleeing their homes, a witness said. The munitions depot is near the president's private residence, but he was at his official residence in another part of town and was not hurt. President Denis Sassou-Ngesso later visited the morgue, a hospital and the military hospital. He did not speak publicly. France is sending a shipment of emergency aid to Brazzaville after the explosions, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said in a statement Sunday night. A ministry official had no immediate details on what kind of aid or how much was being sent.

His attorneys LOS ANGELES — It started as normal Hollywood friction — an actress who wanted better lines and a writer annoyed by her suggestions. But the splayable on the "Desperate Housewives" set four years ago took an unusually nasty turn that led Thursday to a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. "It stunned me." Sheridan said of what she described as a "nice wallow" to her temple. Her face reddening and her eyes filling with tears, she told jurors, "It was unfathomable to me that I had just been hit by my boss." The actress, 48, is suing Cherry and Touchstone Television Productions for wrongful termination and battery. She contends that after she complained about Cherry's conduct, he retaliated by killing off her character, the promiscuous real estate agent Edie Britt. Actress Nicolelette Sheridan told a jury that series creator Marc Cherry slapped her in the head during a rehearsal after she repeatedly questioned him about deleting what he considered to be a particularly funny line for her character. By her lawyer's estimation, departing the ABC hit cost Sheridan about $6 million in income and other damages. IRELAND ASSOCIATED PRESS But in her testimony, Sheridan said that on the contrary, Cherry had told her in 2008 that Edie would not be killed off because it would create an uproar with fans. She said she was under that impression on Sept. 24, 2008, when she confronted Cherry about removing a line in which her character used a Beatles song to tease her on-screen husband's songwriting struggles: "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. How hard is that?" Nicoletta Sheridan attends "An Evening With "Desperate Housewives"" held at the Academy's Leonard H. Goldenson Theater in North Hollywood, California, February 22, 2005.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue; T equals S More consumers rate "The Hunger Games" as their first choice film to see than any movie coming out in the next four weeks. Typically, the movies that get the highest "first choice" ratings are ones closest to their release dates. Currently, the three biggest companies that provide tracking data are estimating that "Hunger Games" will open to between $70 million and $90 million. MOVIES LOS ANGELES — "The Hunger Games" is poised to slaughter the box office competition with an opening that could surpass $100 million. 'Hunger Games' predicts opening day ticket sales — MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Dr. Seuss film set for debut MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — "Dr. Seuss' the Lorax" is primed to rake in lots of green at the box office this weekend. The 3-D animated film, based on a popular 1971 book by Dr. Seuss, could debut with as much as $50 million, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. The weekend's only other new release, the low-cost, R-rated party movie "Project X," will probably start off with a healthy sum of about $20 million. "The Lorax," about an environmentally friendly creature who works to save trees, features the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift. The movie was directed by Chris Renaud, the filmmaker behind "Despicable Me" in 2010. That movie, also produced by Universal Pictures' family unit Illumination Entertainment, opened with $56.4 million domestically and ended up grossing $543 million worldwide. "The Lorax" has earned far more positive reviews than "Project X," which followed three teenage boys trying to throw the biggest party in their high school's history. The film is the latest to fall into the growing found-footage genre, which this year has included the horror movie "The Devil Inside" and the superhero flick "Chronicle." Universal spent about $70 million to finance the film, which will debut overseas next weekend. "The Lorax" is the second animated movie based on a Dr. Seuss property. It follows 20th Century Fox's 2008 release "Horton Hears a Who," which also opened in March and collected nearly $300 million globally. Though the raunchy "Project X" features no recognizable actors and was directed by newcomer Nima Nourizadeh, it has generated lots of buzz online. Warner Bros., which spent only $12 million to produce the film, has marketed it heavily to young males on Twitter and Facebook, including 1.1.1.2 "Project X" is a departure for Warner Bros., which is known for big-budget tentpole movies. In the coming months, the Time Warner Inc.-owned studio will release such films as "Wrath of the Titans" and "The Dark Knight Rises." But the inexpensive "Project X" was a passion project for producer Todd Phillips, who is highly valued at the studio because of his work on the successful "Hangover" comedy franchise. fan feedback in its promotional campaign. Meanwhile, Weinstein Co. will expand Academy Award best picture winner "The Artist" from 966 locations to 1,756 theaters. The silent black-and-white picture — which also took home Oscars for director Michel Hazanavicius and leading actor Jean Dujardin last weekend — has grossed $32.9 million since its release over Thanksgiving. In the same time period last year, Weinstein Co.'s 2011 winner, "The King's Speech," had sold $114 million worth of tickets. Foreign film tells stories of real Holocaust victims Agniesza Holland's "in Darkness," nominated for a foreign-language Academy Award (it lost, to "A Separation"), is set in the city of Lvov, then part of Poland and now the Ukraine, in the midst of World War II. It's a harrowing Holocaust tale, but one that speaks to humankind's capacity to endure, to fight on in the face of terrible cruelty. Adapted from Robert Marshall's book "In the Sewers of Lvov," Holland's technically impressive film offers a grueling account of the true story of a group of Jews who spent 14 months living in a rat-infested underground sewer, dark, damp and redolent of human excrement. These were not heroes, but ordinary citizens — flawed, afraid, ungenerous — who, forced from the ghetto as the Nazis lined up Jews for the work camps, and the death camps, fled to the sewers instead. "In Darkness" is also, pivotally, the story of a city sewer worker, Leopold Socha (Robert Wiewickey). A married man, a Gentile, whose moral core seems fairly coreless at first, Socha takes money to harbor the Jews — guiding them to hideouts, bringing food and supplies. It was a mercenary act, not a missionary one, but over the course of the year and two months that he served as their secret guardian. Socha undergoes his own transformation.

U.S. needs to respect religious beliefs and cultural differences while occupying countries Protests swept Afghanistan after an incident on Monday, Feb. 20 at Bagram Airbase showed how a single unfortunate incident could erase months of painstaking progress in the country. A Muslim protester holds a copy of Quran as he shouts slogans during a protest against the burning of Qurans in Afghanistan by U.S. troops, outside the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Feb. 24. U.S. President Barack Obama apologized to Afghans for the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, trying to assuage rising anti-American sentiment as an Afghan soldier gunned down two American troops during another day of angry protests. RESPECT OUR QURAN By Amanda Gress aqgress@kansan.com Details of the events vary, but according to the New York Times, two uniformed NATO personnel began unloading books into a fire pit at about ten oclck at night. Upon recognizing the books as holy texts of the Muslim faith, local laborers rushed at the truck, attacking it with their helmets and tools while attempting to save the burning pages. After soldiers abandoned the scene these laborers took to the streets and found two thousand fellow Afghans protesting alongside them by the next morning. Fallout from the burning, which NATO forces immediately classified a serious mistake, has resulted in over thirty-five Afghan and coalition deaths at the time this goes to print, according to USA Today. Crowds stormed a northern United Nations outpost and a governor's home; in two separate instances members of the Afghan National Army killed American soldiers. Applauded by the Taliban, these actions fall in line with calls from extremist groups for Afghans to attack coalition military personnel and those who assist them. It's inconceivable that anyone working in Afghanistan can be ignorant of the serious ramifications of desecrating the Quran. Since Muslims believe the text represents the literal dictation and representation of Allah, disrespecting that text is akin to directly attacking the tenant of the faith. Last year, threats by Florida pastor Terry Jones to burn a Quran provoked massive violence, prompting the commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan to warn Jones that his actions may place troops in danger. Religious sensitivity ought to be an iron-clad principle, especially while occupying a foreign country where the success of an operation relies on securing the goodwill of the people. This offense violates our country's belief in religious tolerance and badly tarnishes our credibility in promoting similar democratic values internationally. Even if one argues that religious convictions should not justify a violent response, acknowledged resentment of occupying forces should merit extreme caution in potentially explosive issues. It is true that U.S. and NATO officials quickly tried to minimize the fallout. The New York Times reported that NATO Commander General Allen apologized on Afghan television, emphasizing that the offense was not intentional and that (perhaps 10 years too late) all military personnel would be trained in the treatment and significance of religious materials. Two days later President Obama extended his apologies in a personal letter to President Hamid Karzai discussing a range of issues. The Pentagon also issued a formal apology. Although these apologies convey an appropriate message, they should be followed up by serious diplomatic investments in time and energy to attempt to restore the relationship. President Obama may be concerned about the political consequences of a more public statement—Newt Gingrich has already criticized his written apology—but a credible, sustained outreach to the Afghan people should take priority over domestic political quibbles. with a transparent effort to investigate the burning of religious materials. This incident represents a fundamental disconnect between the United States and the Afghan people on basic questions of religion and culture. Future success will be dependent on our ability to close the gap on our understanding of these key issues. Diplomacy should be coupled SERVICE Gress is freshman in political science and international studies from Overland Park. Learn something from volunteering When you go to a private Catholic school, certain aspects of life are inculcated into the very fiber of your being. One, wearing a skirt becomes the norm (my excuse for owning exactly two pairs of pants). Two, when young gentlemen discover that you attended Catholic school, they will always ask, "Did you have a uniform?" And three, community service is a part of academics. By Katherine Gwynn kgwynn@kansan.com Beginning in the 7th grade, a part of our religion class grade required a certain number of community service hours — to which my pre- adolescent self responded with negativity. I hated being forced to do community service. Even in high school, I was a rebel without a cause; I spent more time caring about writing bad poetry and watching anime than sorting canned food. Oddly enough, I considered myself quite socially progressive—a lot of talking the talk and not walking the walk. However, when I came to KU, I didn't plan to get involved with service organizations intensely My attitude began to change my junior year. I started to help my mother organize for the Deaf Teen Club which caused me to look into more service opportunities. I had already finished the 20 hours my high school required that year, but I found myself wanting to do more than the bare minimum. I began to get involved with Key Club, a community service oriented organization. I began to feel more of a sense of fulfillment, and yet I began to question it as well. Whether working in a day care in downtown Kansas City, or in a food pantry, I couldn't help but wonder why the people I helped were in the positions they were. I had always avidly read, but now instead of just novels and history, I started to read the news, about politics, about social issues. I started to care about the world outside my sphere. or intricately—I planned to do the theater, join a writing group and then volunteer occasionally. It was an interest, but not a passion. I'm lucky I had a lot of people around me committed to service organizations, and to social justice and community outreach. I began volunteering, as I had before, but I also started to look beyond just volunteering. First semester, between the classes I took and my interaction with the world, I woke up. I began to see connections between the knowledge I gained and the volunteer work I was doing. To go from learning about the wide discrepancy between education quality across the U.S. in my sociology class to tutoring in Title 1 schools, was like a hammer in the head — obvious and jarring. I woke up, and I woke up not wanting, but needing to walk the walk. Now I'm fairly involved with service and advocacy on campus. I have to take on the roles of an activist, a teacher, a student and a leader, sometimes all in one day. It's intimidating, but honestly? I'm just trying to learn as much as I can, so I can do as much as I'm capable of doing. I'm nervous about screwing up. I have to ask a lot of people older and smarter than me a lot of questions. I get confused about which forms need to be filled out when, and sometimes I step back and think about the fact that I need to check my email five to ten times a day.

Cool people will know her as Lindsay Weir from the cult TV show, "Freaks and Geeks", where she led a young cast of future stars including Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segal. She's been living the career of a big actor in small parts, making brief, but lasting impressions. Now at 36, she's received her first leading role in the home coming soldier story "Return", giving a performance that could finally pull her from the corners of independent cinema. In "Return" Cardellini plays Kelli, an military reservist on leave from the Middle East. She's been in the dessert for 15 months and now she's back in the Midwest with her old friends, her husband and her two daughters. The approach of this story and the journey Kelli takes is unique to modern movies about soldiers, because she really takes no journey. This isn't a movie about tragedy or trauma like "Brothers" or "The Messenger." Nor is it about the addiction of war, like "The Hurt Locker." Kelli doesn't want to stay in the army, she wants to come home, but when she does, the home she remembered isn't there By Michael Coy mcoy@kansan.com anymore. Even though the movie is told entirely from her perspective, we're never told exactly what's bothering Kelli. She never says what it is, and we get the feeling she doesn't know. She says one thing about her deployment and about her return. She says it's weird. "Now the cups are where the plates should be, and it's weird." She's caught in a place of depression and disappointment. It's not just that her life at home is passing her by, but she lets it pass by because she thinks it further off than she knows. She's right in a way. We find out fairly early on that her husband has been beating on her, but even then it seems that she's the one who has a problem. She quits her job, lies on the couch all day, tries to paint the living room and never finishes. She goes on a bender and crashes into a pole, beginning the second half of the film. The word 'powerful' is used a lot when describing angst ridden suburban drams and "Return" does have power, but a strange kind. The easy pace and rhythm of the movie are deceptive, and scenes that had seemed innocuous will later trigger a deep breath of realization. There are important things happening, but because Kelli doesn't realize it, we don't either, and it's really interesting that way. This isn't an independent movie that revels in doing nothing. New director Liza Johnson is more clever than that. She knows that this do-nothance state of mind is Kella's trap. So momentum builds under in movie, and it doesn't completely hit Kelli until the final scene. The movie is really a series of questions flashing across Cardellini's face. What is going on? Why did I come back? Who was I before I left? The tension in "Return" is based on the fact that she may not have time to answer these questions. You can watch "Return" on iTunes or find it on DVD on April 24. Coy is a sophomore in film and media studies from Lenexa. To the Editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR As a follow-up to Vikaas Shanker's story on the Student Senate's rejection of the Homecoming Steering Committee's funding request, I want to assure the KU community that Homecoming 2012 will occur, regardless of the Student Senate's decision. The following explanation of the overall budget for Homecoming should provide helpful context: The KU Alumni Association oversees Homecoming and coordinates activities of the student-led Homecoming Steering Committee. The Association also provides more than 80 percent of the funds for the week-long celebration, which includes 20 events. For this year, the 100th anniversary of KU Homecoming, the Association has designated $35,000, more than 80 percent of Homecoming's total estimated budget of $41,900. University partners and sponsors contribute the remaining funds. In recent years, the Student Senate has contributed $1,200. This year, the Homecoming Steering Committee requested $2,300 because of an expected increase in participation from students, alumni, faculty, staff and Lawrence residents during this centennial year. Although the Alumni Association is disappointed that Student Senate will not assist with funding, our organization remains committed to creating a memorable celebration to mark this milestone. Homecoming is a cherished KU tradition, and it will continue to thrive this year and for Jayhawk generations to come. Jennifer Jackson Sanner is the senior vice president for communications of the KU Alumni Association. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to kananopdesk@gmail.com.

PAGE 6A MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEATHER Tornado hits same spot in Alabama this year ASSOCIATED PRESS HARVEST, Ala. — Cody Stewart is done owning a home for a little while. He has lost his house to tornadoes twice in 10 months. A killer twister wiped out his neighborhood in the epic Alabama storms April 27, causing Stewart $40,000 worth of damage that forced him to temporarily move in with his parents. In his house for less than two months with repairs still incomplete, another tornado hit again Friday, ripping off the roof, slinging it into the backyard and leaving the walls bowed outward. This time, the damage is beyond repair. "I kind of expected there to be more storms again this year, but you never expect it to hit the same place twice." Stewart said Saturday as he stood in what remains of his wood-frame home. "I think I'm going to live in an apartment awhile. I'm not superstitious, but it just kind of seems there's a path here and I don't want to be in it again, and I hope other people make the same choice." While scattered damage was reported elsewhere, the worst destruction was in Limestone and The damage included nearly every house in Stewart's neighborhood on Yarbrough Road, located in the Tennessee Valley about 15 miles northwest of Huntsville. Madison counties, where 190 homes were damaged or destroyed. The storms were not as deadly in Alabama this time. Nearly 200 miles south of Harvest, which is near the Tennessee state line, one person was killed in the Tallapoosa County community of Jackson's Gap. Last year, twisters cut a wide path of destruction across the region, killing about 250 people statewide, including at least two near where Stewart lived. The twister Friday was smaller and didn't cause any serious injuries, but it hit homes where people were still recovering. Across the street from Stewart, Jason Kerr and his wife lost their home to the April 27 twister but weren't injured. Kerr had just finished demolishing the house, rebuilding the garage and hauling in $5,000 worth of dirt for a new foundation when the latest storm stuck. Their brand new garage was damaged, and they might not be able to repair it. Dozens of homes were damaged or destroyed a year ago in his neighborhood, which was left looking like logging crews had come through because all of the trees were snapped and tossed to the ground. Family and friends begin the task of clean-up after a tornado left a path of destruction in the Harvest area on the same path that an F5 tornado left destruction on April 27, 2011 this Saturday in Athens, Ala. Emergency crews desperately searched for survivors Saturday after a violent wave of Midwest and Southern storms flattened some rural communities. "It makes it hard for the people on the ground who have lost everything," he said. "It's a difficult time for everybody." Kerr dreads again dealing with insurance companies that he said seem to pinch every dollar. ASSOCIATED PRESS ... That includes James and Judy Hodges, who live up the street on the corner. They just finished $65,000 in repairs to their home and moved back in; now the house looks it was hit with a giant ax that flayed open the roof and ripped off the front of the structure. "Time to rebuild again," she said as church volunteers helped clear away debris and pick up belongings scattered through the yard. Longtime residents talk about the 1974 tornado outbreak that wiped out hundreds of homes, killed nearly 90 people and injured about 950 people in north Alabama. Stewart remembers a twister in the early '90s, when he was still a boy. The repeated bashings have left people feeling short on luck, at the very least. As Stewart left home Friday to drive to work at a tech company in Huntsville, something felt eerie. Forecasters had been warning of the chance of severe weather for days, and he said it was too warm "It was just that sick feeling in your stomach," he said. "It was like, 'It feels familiar.'" for early March; the sky looked too gray. Now, with Yarbrough Road hit twice in such a short period, Stewart said nothing will ever be the same there. "It's time to move on," he said. OIL SPILL Health concerns remain a big issue in the BP oil spill case ASSOCIATED PRESS BOOTHEVILLE, La. — A settlement that BP is hammering out with victims of the massive Gulf oil spill finally provides a system for monitoring health concerns and compensating people whose illnesses are found to have a link to the disaster. Government and university doctors studying locals' health haven't found significant evidence of spill-related illnesses, but problems years from now remain a question mark. Gulf Coast residents say they're happy their complaints are getting a serious look, even if they'll face hurdles in proving that rashes, shortness of breath and other maladies were caused by the oil or chemical dispersants sprayed to break it up. Under the settlement announced Friday, BP said it expects to pay out $7.8 billion to settle a wide range of claims that also include property damage, lost wages and loss to businesses. While a previously created fund had already been paying such economic loss claims, it hadn't paid claims over illnesses related to exposure. Nicole Maurer, a resident of this fishing community, said she feels optimistic about getting medical bills paid under the court-supervised process. She blames the spill for a number of her family's health problems. "Bright and early, I'm getting my kids on the school bus and calling my lawyer tomorrow, and see what's going on," she said Sunday. "I'm being very hopeful and that it all works out in our favor." First, Maurer and others like her will have to show that they got sick from the spill. To receive compensation, claimants will be examined by a court-approved health care practitioner. Then, a claims administrator working under the supervision of a federal judge will determine who should be paid. "The workers have a different kind of exposure because they were there all the time, but anybody living in an area where they were at risk of exposure will be eligible to participate in the program," said Ervin Gonzalez, one the plaintiff lawyers leading the litigation. The settlement also establishes a program to monitor claimants' health for a period of 21 years. People whose physical symptoms haven't yet developed will also be able to pursue claims. BP has also promised to pay $105 million to improve health care around the Gulf region.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Visit our website at Alison Wong CORRECTED TEXT Hall Center Scholars 2011-2012 KU HALL CENTER FOR THE HUMANITIES Fire boat response crews spray water on the blazing remnants of BP's Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig. BP agreed late Friday to settle lawsuits brought by more than 100,000 fishermen who lost work, cleanup workers who got sick and others who claimed harm from the oil giant's 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster. British Petroleum PLC estimated it would have to pay out about $7.8 billion, making it one of the largest class-action settlements ever. "You don't know what the long-term (health) effects will be," said another of the plaintiffs' lawyers, Steve Herman. "You don't know how the science is going to play out." Herman said medical claims won't be paid until U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier gives final approval to the overall settlement, which could take months. www.hallcenter.ku.edu Observers said the legal wrangling over who will be eligible for medical compensation likely will be contentious and could take years to play out. Blaine LeCesne, a tort law professor at Loyola University New Orleans, said getting medical claims covered under the proposed settlement was a victory for the plaintiffs. At a trial, he said it would have been difficult to prove medical damage. "Medical claims are inherently speculative. We really don't know what the full scope of the medical problems are to exposure to the dispersants and the oil itself." How much BP will be forced to pay will depend on how broad the criteria for verifying health problems are, he said. Mitch Crusto, a Loyola business and environmental law professor, said it was a smart move for BP. "It helps give the impression that BP is a responsible company." He added that Barbier will be more likely to approve the settlement offer because of the medical provision. "Barbier would be less inclined to accept settlement if there was not some process to handle medical claims." The process is a step in the right direction for residents who felt their health concerns had been ignored. The previous compensation fund, called the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, received roughly 200 claims asserting spill-related illnesses, but none were paid. The older fund did cover injured rig workers on the Deepwater Horizon, the drilling rig that exploded on April 20, 2010. Since shortly after the spill, government and university researchers have been investigating public health complaints, but so far haven't found significant evidence of illnesses caused by the spill. Still, some caution that their work has only begun For example, studies by the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Health Sciences are in their early stages, according to a researcher involved. "We are trying to pinpoint exposure and unravel those complex questions," said Maureen Litchfeld, a lead researcher at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. "Two of the most persistent concerns are those about seafood safety and if the air is safe to breathe." Some doctors along the coast say they routinely treat cleanup workers and residents for chemical exposure and other problems that they blame on the spill. Dr. "The illnesses are very real, and the people who are ill are apparently people who have sensitivities to these substances that not all of us are sensitive to," he said. Mike Robichaux, a nose and throat specialist in Raceland, La., said he has treated 50 people for a range of health problems that he believes were caused by exposure to chemicals released during the disaster. BP employed thousands of fishermen and other locals to respond to the oil spill, and scores have expressed health concerns. Many of those people can be found along the sliver of land south of New Orleans in the fishing and oilfield communities of Plaquemines Parish. Glen Swift, a fisherman in Buras, "I got nauseated, just real weak and sick with diarrhea for a few days," he said. said he worked cleanup boats and got sick one day cleaning up a big patch of oil. Swift said he wasn't sure if he would file a medical claim. More serious were the complaints of the Maurer household in Bootheville. Maurer said she'd developed cysts on her body since the spill, while her fisherman husband has suffered bleeding from his ear and nose since he did cleanup work. They also believe their daughter's asthma has gotten worse. "I'm so tired of being sick," she said. STATE Bill would require senior citizens to pay hunting fee TOPEKA, Kan. — A compromise may be in the works on a proposal to start making older Kansans pay for hunting and fishing licenses. The annual licenses cost $20.50 each, which goes to support fish and wildlife programs that don't receive state funding. Kansas adopted a license exemption for people 70 and older in 1937, then dropped the age to 65 in 1971. Now, with the population aging and a crisis looming in funding for state Jennison's legislation has drawn heavy resistance from some lawnmakers and interest groups, including the Kansas State Rifle Association and the Silver Haired Legislature. park maintenance, the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism has proposed repealing the exemption — a move that department Secretary Robin Jennison has said would reap his agency $1 million or more in each of the coming years. Jennison told the committee he's open to a compromise, such as raising the exemption age from 65 to 75 or creating a fee-based "senior pass." One option would create an annual half-price hunting, fishing or combination hunting-fishing license for people 65 through 74, at $9 for the individual licenses or $18 for the combination permit. The exemption for those 75 and older "This bill has an uphill battle," Sen. Macktadiken, a Republican from Clifton, said at a hearing last week of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources. His office later issued a news release praising an amendment offered by Sen. Allen Schmidt, a Democrat from Hays, that would give older hunters and anglers two options. would remain in place. Schmidt's other proposal would let senior citizens buy a one-time, lifetime combined hunting and fishing pass. The wildlife and parks commission would set the cost of the pass, probably around $40, Jennison said. He said older Kansans are some of the heaviest users of the state's natural resources, accounting for as much as 90 percent of the people who fish at such places as Lake Perry. ASSOCIATED PRESS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012 HISTORY PAGE 7A Fateful day years ago creates lifelong bond ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — The way Ernie Gross and Don Greenbaum laugh and tell jokes with the ease of old friends, it's easy to assume the dapper octogenarians have known each other forever. In reality, they only met a few months ago. Their familiarity doesn't come from shared memories of a childhood playground or a high school dance but a far darker place: Both men spent a single day at the Dachau concentration camp on the day its 30,000 prisoners were liberated by American Gls in 1945. Greenbaum, 87, and Gross, 83, don't think they met that day in Dachau but nevertheless share a bond. They met after Gross, who lives in Philadelphia, saw a mention in a local newspaper last November about Greenbaum, a Philadelphia native now living in suburban Bala Cynwyd. "Ernie wanted to thank me for saving his life, quote unquote, even though there were 50,000 other men there with me," Greenbaum said, with a hint of unease, during an interview at Gross' home. "And we sat and had lunch together and discussed what happened 66 years ago." Gross, then all of 85 pounds after nearly a year of sickness, abuse and constant hunger, had no doubt April 29, 1945, was his last day on earth. Greenbaum, a soldier with Gen. George Patton's Third Army 283rd Field Artillery Battalion, arrived that day at Dachau expecting to seize ammunition, clothing and food that was kept for the Nazis notorious SS forces. They were both wrong, it turned out. The men, who talk about their experiences at local synagogues and schools, now are working together to find other Dachau survivors and liberators in the area to share their stories. They acknowledge that recounting the horrors of the Holocaust isn't easy but believe it's their duty. "As we got near Dachau, about a mile outside the camp, there was an odor we couldn't identify." Greenbaum said. "When we arrived, I saw the boxcars. They were full of bodies." History would come to call it the Dachau death train; some 40 cattle cars holding more than 2,000 men and women evacuated from another camp — and left to die on the train — in the final weeks of World War II. "We had at that time never heard the expression 'concentration camp,' we never heard of a death camp," Greenbaum said. "None of us had any idea." Gross, a Romanian Jew, was 15 when he and his family were taken from their home, deported to a ghetto in Hungary and eventually packed on a standing-room-only boxcar to Auschwitz in 1942. At the urging of a man next to him as they waited in line to be processed, he lied and told the SS officer he was 17. Any younger and he'd be deemed incapable of hard labor and, he was told, immediately killed. "The same guy who told me to lie said to me, 'Do you see that smoke in the sky where the sun cannot get through? This is going to be your parents in about two hours," he recalled. "My parents and younger brother and younger sister ... that's the last time I saw them." Of his older brothers also sent to labor camps, one — his favorite — also died. "When you are bitter, it takes energy," he said. Constantly smiling and a consumate joke-teller, he says he tries to make one person laugh every day. Usually, he succeeds. BERTOLLO AND EMMANUEL SCHNEIDER ASSOCIATED PRESS A World War II veteran, Don Greenbaum, and a Holocaust survivor, Ernie Gross, meet years after a fateful day in Dachau to forge a friendship. Gross and thousands of other prisoners were freed from the Dachau concentration camp by American forces which included Greenbaum. LEGAL Virginia Tech shooting case trial begins today RICHMOND, Va. — The hours leading to the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history and the actions of Virginia Tech administrators will be replayed in a Christiansburg courtroom when the parents of two students slain in the April 2007 massacre press their legal effort to hold school officials accountable. During the trial that begins Monday, Attorney Robert Hall said he'll call Tech President Charles Steger and other top university officials to explain their actions the day 33 were killed on the Blacksburg campus, including the gunman. Hall said the parents want an apology for what he calls the university's botched efforts after the two first killings occurred. He said he has new evidence that reveals further missteps. "They want President Steger to say, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for the death of your daughters." Hall said. The lawsuits originally sought $10 million for the wrongful deaths of Julia K. Pryde and Erin N. Peterson, but the damages are now capped at $100,000 for each of their parents. The state is the lone defendant in the case, which has been scaled back from the lawsuit originally filed two years after the deadly shootings on Tech's Blacksburg campus. Among the other 20-plus witnesses Hall plans to call will be students who survived the shooting rampage, the chief of Tech's police force and other university officials. The government is expected to call twice the number of witnesses during the trial that is likely to last a week. Hall is expected to drill into the minutes between the slaying of two students in a dorm shortly after 7 a.m. on April 16 and the actions of university officials to alert the campus. An email informed the approximately 30,000 students on campus more than two hours later — after gunman Seung-Hui Cho had killed 30 in Norris Hall, a classroom building. He then killed himself. Virginia Tech and Steger, among others, have been removed as defendants in the case.

March is among the few colleges that invite parents to submit letters of recommendation. Parents' opinions considered ASSOCIATED PRESS The letter recommending Christianne Beasley for admission to Smith College didn't come from the most unbiased of sources. But there was no disputing the writer knew this applicant as well as anyone. "Christianne and Smith seem to be a perfect match," wrote Nancy Beasley, four years ago, on behalf of her only daughter, now a Smith senior. She described Christianne's "grace and dignity," and explained why she thought the prestigious and diverse Northampton, Mass., women's college was the perfect fit for the girl she'd raised. Smith is among just a few colleges — among them nearby Mt. Holyoke and Holy Cross in Massachusetts, St. Anselm in New Hampshire, and the University of Richmond — that invite parents to submit letters on behalf of their children (either as part of the application itself, or in a follow-up invitation after the application is received). At Smith, finalizing this month the 640 or so members of the Class of 2016 from more than 4,300 applications, a little less than half include a parental letter. The college takes pains to emphasize such letters are optional and won't make or break a decision. What do parents tell colleges about their flesh and blood? Rarely anything bad, to be sure (though sadly, it does happen). A fair share burst with predictably over-the-top pride in their children's virtues, which are dated back to infancy, and in some cases, utero (a few years ago, Smith decided to impose a single-page limit). But there's a reason Smith has stuck with the process for about 20 years now, despite the extra work, says Smith's director of admission, Deb Shaver. Sometimes parents offer just the kind of color that can bring to life a candidate whose full personality is hidden in a portrait painted only with grades, test scores and traditional recommendations letters from teachers and guidance counselors. against (admittedly epidemic) helicopter parenting, the pendulum might have swung a little too far. "You might think they do nothing but brag," Shaver said. "But parents really nail their kids. They really get to the essence of what their daughter is about in a way we can't get anywhere else." After all, it's parents who may have the best view of what's really great about their children. "We get to this point and say, 'You can't be driving the bus, you need to be in the backseat,' Shaver said. "It's all true, and yet I think parents can provide texture to those applications that can't be found anywhere else. It's also an acknowledgment that in the backlash in admissions "Who knows a kid better than their mother and father?" she asked. For Christianne Beasley, a letter from Mom was the perfect closing argument to her case that Smith was the place for her. "Sometimes there's that bad connotation of the overbearing parents who feel the need to control their kids' decision," she said. "In my case, it was the opposite. It was to make sure I had the best application possible and Smith saw the best part of me." For her mom, it was a chance to participate, but also share something she knew nobody else would have seen; the way her daughter lit up when she first visited Smith's campus. "You know how they say when you see your wedding dress or your house, you just knew it's the one? She just knew it was the 'one,' said Nancy Beasley, of Westbrook, Maine. "Nobody else would have known." David Hawkins, director of public policy at the National Association for College Admission Counseling, said there are reasons why very few colleges solicit parental letters. One is sheer logistical burden; most colleges don't have the staff to do more than execute a fairly straight forward admissions formula of grades and test scores. It's no accident that the practice is found only at small liberal arts colleges which take special pride in getting to know their students. And colleges are mainly concerned with evaluating candidates academically. For that, a parental letter offers little credible guidance. income applicants from applying, particularly those from non-English speaking families, or places such students at a disadvantage if they disproportionately decline to do so. But perhaps the biggest worry, which Hawkins shares, is "advancing the advantaged," to use the catch phrase in admissions. The question is whether the practice discourages lower- "Asking the parents to contribute an essay to their children's application may be a barrier for some populations," he said. Shaver doesn't have data, but says she's confident Smith's parental letters spread a broad range (Smith, in fact, has a strong record attracting low-income students; 22 percent receive Pell Grants, meaning they come from low-income families. That's a higher proportion than at virtually any other highly selective college). Often, it's lower-income families who make the most meaningful efforts to participate in the process. One mother submitted a video; her daughter translated. One father drove several hours to campus and walked into the admissions office without an appointment, demanding to see Shaver. "He said, 'I don't know English very well and you asked for this recommendation, so I'm going to talk it to you,' she recalled. Nanci Tessier, who worked in Smith's admissions office in the mid-1990s just after it started the practice, has been a kind of missionary for parental letters, taking the practice with her first to St. Anselm and later to the University of Richmond, a school of about 3,000 undergraduates where she's vice president of enrollment management. Parental letters are often the best window into a student's soul, she said. She recalled one letter recounting an applicant's response to the death of her father in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Nowhere else in the application had that come up. Most stories and letters are less dramatic. But sometimes even mundane ones can offer something to help a sympathetic admissions officer make a case before the committee. Who exactly are such letters for? It's hard to say. Now Open on Mass Street!

Colbert condemned KU Medical Center researcher Joseph Tash for his research in developing a male birth control pill, 50 years after birth control was made available to women. "Folks, this is dangerous. If birth control becomes widely available to men, they might want to have a lot of sex," Colbert said. "That's why I'm giving a wag of my finger to the spermicidal maniac at the University of Kansas who developed this pill." According to the KU Medical Center, Tash's research is aimed at developing a compound that acts as a chemical male contraceptive. Colbert went on to cite presidential candidate Rick Santorum's stance that birth control leads to more children being born out of wedlock. Colbert says it's like saying fire you of being a horse molester," Colbert said. For any male extinguishers cause fires. With no pause in the contempt he released upon the prospect of male contraception, although he prefaced the waggings of his finger with a disclaimer.

VIDEO STILL FROM COLBERTNATION.COM LAW ENFORCEMENT Chicago police promise to respect civil rights ASSOCIATED PRESS OAK BROOK TERRACE, Ill. — For the first time in public, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy promised his department will never conduct blanket surveillance of Muslims like the New York Police Department did in Newark, N.J., when he was chief there. McCarthy addressed hundreds of Muslims on Saturday at the annual banquet of the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Chicago, a civil rights organization. He said police would follow leads in criminal cases, but the department "does not and will not conduct blanket surveillance and profiling of any community in the city of Chicago." "We are deeply committed to respecting the civil rights of all Chicagoans," McCarthy said. McCarthy and Mayor Rahm Emanuel have tried to reassure Chicago-area Muslims since The Associated Press revealed the NYPD's spying in Newark. The AP reported last month that in 2007, the NYPD's secretive Demographics Unit fanned out across Newark, photographing mosques and eavesdropping on Muslim businesses. Earlier, the AP reported that the department was conducting similar surveillance in New York, building databases showing where Muslims live, shop and pray. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has vigorously defended the operations, saying police only follow up on allegations. But civil rights advocates and other critics say the NYPD's 60-page report on the Newark operations showed Muslims were targeted solely because of their religion. New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly defended his department's operations again Saturday in a speech at Fordham Law School, as about 60 protesters marched outside. Addressing New Jersey officials' complaints that the NYPD overstepped its bounds by not fully informing them of officers' activities, Kelly noted 746 Garden State residents were killed in the 9/11 attacks. "If terrorists aren't limited by borders and boundaries, we can't be either," Kelly said. "It is entirely legal for the Police Department to conduct investigations outside of city limits, and we maintain very close relationships with local authorities." McCarthy, who was also a top officer in the NYPD at one point, told the AP that his former colleagues in New York notified him as a courtesy that they were sending plainclothes officers to Newark, but none of his officers participated in the operation. New York police say Newark leaders cooperated with the effort. McCarthy met privately last week with community leaders in Chicago to discuss the issue, but he hadn't stated publicly whether he supported the NYPDs tactics. He was warmly received at Saturday's banquet, held in a Chicago suburb. CAIR Executive Director Ahmed Rehab praised McCarthy for his "heartfelt" sincerity and taking the initiative to attend, and the audience applauded when the chief said police need to work with the city's communities to prevent crime and terrorism. "We are focused on our mission of making Chicago the safest city for every resident in every neighborhood, but we can't do it alone," McCarthy said. "We must have a positive relationship with the wonderfully diverse communities that comprise Chicago and that make this great country of America as strong as it is today." U. S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a Chicago Democrat and immigration advocate, also addressed the group, lashing out at the NYPD's spying methods. ODD NEWS Barbara Bagley holds her sheepdog Dooley. Bagley lost her husband in a deadly car crash in which Dooley escaped and survived on its own for 53 days. "It makes no sense and is not sensible law enforcement." Gutierrez said. McCarthy wrapped up his remarks by saying he is a 9/11 survivor, who was in a command post near the World Trade Center until the towers fell. He told the audience that 13 of the 23 officers lost by the NYPD were personal friends. ASSOCIATED PRESS "And I want to tell you this," he said. "In the 10-plus years since that horrific event, which has affected me to my core, I have never once thought Domestic dog survives alone in the wild ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. — Barbara Bagley says she never gave up hope that her dog would be found alive in the Nevada desert after the animal bolted from the scene of a crash that critically injured her and killed her husband. But the Salt Lake City woman endured plenty of frustration until her beloved 4-year-old Shetland sheepdog, Dooley, was tracked down Feb.18 after surviving 53 days in the wild on roadkill and scattered ranch water sources. "I would think about Dooley constantly," she said. "There were TV commercials with dogs that made me think about him and cry. He's just the sweetest dog." The Dec. 27 single-vehicle accident on Interstate 80 near Battle-Mountain, about 225 miles east of Reno, sent Bagley and her 55-year-old husband, Brad Vom Baur, to the hospital in critical condition. Their other shelte, Delaney, was killed in the wreck. Dooley ran away and vanished. "It was a horrible day for me," Bagley recalled. "But something inside me told me Dooley was still alive out there. I wasn't 100 Bagley, 48, suffered a concussion, broken ribs, a shattered wrist and two punctured lungs. As soon as she mustered up enough strength, she turned her attention to a search for her dog in the sprawling sage-covered plains and hills of northeastern Nevada. percent sure, but I didn't grieve for Dooley like I did for my husband and our other dog" Neville Crawford More than three weeks later, Bagley's spirits were buoyed after a woman reported spotting "a Lassie-type" dog near the accident scene. A subsequent search joined by Bagley turned up nothing, but a railroad crew spotted a dog matching the same description in mid-February in the same area about 15 miles east of Battle Mountain. Realizing what Dooley could mean for her recovery, dozens of Nevada volunteers responded to a Facebook plea for help in looking for him. But the search was canceled before it began after the Jan. 6 discovery of what appeared to be the dog's remains along the interstate. The same day, her husband died. Further searches netted a positive identification of Dooley but frustration as well because the skittish dog kept fleeing from Bagley and other searchers. Finally, Shannon Sustacha of Lamoille, who was on horseback, and a Bagley friend driving a Jeep cornered Dooley only five miles from the crash scene. The friend managed to nab the sheltie and put him in the Jeep. An ecstatic, tearful Bagley arrived at the scene a short time later. "Barbara got next to us and said three times, 'You think he'll remember me?'" Sustacha said. "When Barbara opened the door and looked at him, she said, 'My beautiful boy, my beautiful boy, you're home.' Oh, boy, all of us cried. I knew his adventure in Nevada was over. I also knew he and Barbara could start healing together." A short time later, an a short ex h a u s t e d Dooley sat on his owner's lap in the Jeep and fell asleep.

Since then, the dog has gradually put on weight and resumedregular walks with his owner. While Bagley is still going through the grieving process over her husband's death and recovering from her injuries, Dooley's presence has picked up her spirits immensely. "He's the physical and mental affection that I need to recover," she said. "I owe him so much for the hope I have now and the renewed faith I have in prayer. Dogs are so great because of their unconditional love." Bagley, a phlebotomy supervisor at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, also thinks her husband had something to do with Dooley's safe return home.

THE ORGANIZATION Volume 124 Issue 109 kansan.com Monday, March 5, 2012 S sports Seniors embody Kansas By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com died around their coaches for the final television time-out, the Allen Fieldhouse crowd broke out in a resounding chant for senior guard Jordan Jenemann. With less than four minutes left and the teams huddled around their coaches They screamed his last name over and over to encourage coach Bill Self to put him back into the game. Self would wait, letting the crowd's enthusiasm boil over, before Juwemann walked to the scorer's table with around a minute left to check in. Juenemann, along with fellow senior guards Conner Teahan and Tyshawn Taylor, fully embody what it means to be a Kansas Jayhawk. Their hard work and effort helped the team get through a tough non-conference schedule and grow into the team that is knocking on the doorstep of its third consecutive number one seed in the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks began this season ranked in the Top 25 more out of respect for Self's accomplishment than for what the team showed on paper. In the preseason poll, the Big 12 coaches picked Kansas to share the conference crown with Texas A&M simply because it was hard to count out the seven time defending champions. But the Jayhawks returned only one starter, Taylor, and while junior forward Thomas Robinson had shown flashes of brilliance, he had played just 14.6 minutes a game standing in the shadows of the Morris twins. Junior center Jeff Withey had yet to establish himself as a shot-blocking force on the inside. After a couple of early losses to top teams, no one would have questioned the Jayhawks had they faltered a little and relinquished the Big 12 crown for the first time since Self's initial season at Kansas, just like no one would've questioned Juenemann had he decided to simply become a full-time student and enjoy life following in the crowd, Teahan had he decided to transfer to a smaller school to get more playing time, or Taylor had he decided to enter the draft following last season, risk life as a possible second round draft pick, and leave the rebuilding process on other player's shoulders. Instead Robinson became a top candidate for national player of the year, Withey became the second player in Kansas history to record 100 blocks in a season, and Taylor emerged as the energizing leader that fans have expected him to grow into. But Self and this Kansas team are no longer content with just winning the Big 12, they want more from this season. And because of that, these seniors walked off Allen Fieldhouse court not only winning four straight conference titles, but winning them outright, a feat not seen at Kansas since the class of 1998, and never achieved in the Big 12 before this season. We've had enough pats on the back about winning the league, that's over," Self said. "We need to put our focus in on trying to make it a special season. It's a good season, you can't take that away from us, but its not going to be special unless you play well from this point forward." — Edited by Tanvi Nimkar GRADING OUT BASEBALL DROPS THREE IN A ROW Who received passing marks against Texas PAGE 8B The Jayhawks fall to Gonzaga 7-2 Sunday at University of Texas San Antonio Tournament PAGE 3B KANSAS 73. TEXAS 63 LEAVING THEIR MARK MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Somewhere in the recesses of memory, where names like B.H. Born, Jacque Vaughn and Tyrel Reed rest, Kansas basketball fans will store Saturday night's game, the last at Allen Fieldhouse for seniors Tyshawn Taylor, Conner Teahan and Jordan Juenemann. No. 3 Kansas (26-5, 16-2) finished its regular season with a 73-63 victory over Texas, but the emotions, not the game, ruled the night. Taylor even admitted that his mind wandered a bit before the final buzzer sounded. "The focus was definitely on that speech," he said. "I was thinking about that speech a lot more than I should have during the game." While Texas was fighting for a bid in NCAA tournament, coach Bill said his team wasn't defending like it should. Texas guard J'Covan Brown scored just four points in the first half, just like he did when these teams met on Jan. 21 in Austin. But again, Brown found a way to "I really didn't want to be up there, unlike my man Teahan." Brown's 33 was the first time an opposing player dropped at least 30 points on the Jayhawks since Jacob Pullen scored 38 in last season's upset in Manhattan. escape the tightest pressure from junior guards Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson and scored 29 second-half points. "If you let a good player catch it where he wants to," Self said, "then your idea is mercy." "Travis has got to become a lock-down defender," Self said. "That's obviously not happening right now." "He's playing too passive defensively right now," Self said. "He just needs get back to being aggressive, creating havoc, stealing loose balls and taking the other team's best player out." Self said that Releford hasn't been aggressive for the past few weeks and he doesn't know why. Self also switched Johnson to defend Brown, but Johnson failed. Self said that Johnson and Releford need to get it together defensively because Taylor can't do it all. He's already expending energy on the other end by carrying the scoring load with junior forward Thomas Robinson, who added to his player of the year resume with 25 points and 14 rebounds. "Thomas was terrific," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "We just didn't have an answer for him." Despite Brown's onslaught, the rest of the Longhorns shot 31.5 percent from the field and failed to find a rhythm.

"Knowing it's the last one for a lot of us, we did pretty well."

Jayhawks finish sixth in Big 12 KANSAS 11 KU WOMEN'S BASKETBALL ASHI FIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Senior forward Aishah Sutherland gets ready to pass the ball above her opponents head for her teammate to take to the basket during Wednesday night's game against Oklahoma State in Allen Fieldhouse where the Jayhawks lost 66-63. As soon as the final buzzer sounded, senior forward Aishah Sutherland flew off the bench. She knew the significance of the Jav Hawks' latest victory. "I think I was more excited today than ever." Sutherland said. Kansas won their 100th Big 12 victory as they defeated Oklahoma 83-77 in Norman. The victory was also the first time Kansas defeated Oklahoma in Norman since 1998. But, for a more immediate impact, Kansas locked a six seed and a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tournament. After celebrating Senior Night just four days ago, Sutherland turned in another big game when it mattered. Sutherland finished the game with 23 points and nine rebounds to lead the Jayhawks to victory on the road. "We were talking about how it needs to be Oklahoma, it needs to be on the road, it needs to be a high RPI win," Henrickson said. "This is a resume builder. It is an unbelievable opportunity." The Jayhawks have won just two of their last six games, but Sutherland said this game will give them momentum going into the tournament later this week. "This win gives us great confidence," Sutherland said. "We are able to be just as high as them in the conference and we are good enough to be." The Jayhawks finished the regular season 19-11 overall and 8-10 in conference play. After a first-round bye they will face Texas A&M at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Jayhawks shot only 38.2 percent from the field in the first half, but Sutherland had 17 points to add consistency. They took a one point lead into the half and came out swinging with a 9-0 run early in the second half. "They played to win from the tip." Henrickson said. Three Jayhawk starters — Sutherland, freshman forward Chelsea Gardner and sophomore guard CeCe Harper — fouled out in the final minutes which threatened their double digit lead; however, the Jayhawks hung on with 10 straight made free throws in the final minute from three different players. Kansas hit 21 of 25 free throws — 84 percent — on the night. Freshman guard Natalie Knight hit four of those free throws on her way to 18 points — a career high. She drained three of six shots from beyond the arc and hit seven of eight free throws. "I made sure they know how great it was and congratulate them and thank them for making those types of plays and finishing like they could." Sutherland said. "That's where they played with a lot of confidence and communicated really well," Henrickson said. Back-to-back three pointers from sophomore forward Tania Jackson and junior guard Angel Goodrich gave Kansas a 14-point lead with just less than five minutes left in the contest. The bench was able to maintain the lead through clutch free throw shooting and tough defense even with three key contributors fouled out. - Edited by Max Lush AWARDS Four Jayhawks earn conference honors Junior forward Thomas Robinson was named the conference's player of the year and a member of the All-Big 12 first team. Junior center Jeff Withey was named the conference's defensive player of the year and a member of the All-Big 12 defensive team and All-Big 12 third team. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor was also named to the All-Big 12 first team. Coach Bill Self was named co-coach of the year along with Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg. The Big 12 Conference announced four Jayhawks with honors to conclude the regular season on Sunday. Robinson averaged 18 points and 11.9 rebounds per game on the season, making him the only player in the conference to average a double-double. His 22 double-doubles led the league and are fourth in conference history for one season. Robinson is the seventh Jayhawk to be named the conference player of the year. Marcus Morris took the honors last season. Withey's 100 blocks led the conference and rank fifth in conference history for one season. His 65 conference-season blocks set a Big 12 record. Withey is the fourth Jawhayk to be named conference defensive player of the year since its inception after the 2005-06 season. Cole Aldrich took the honors in 2009 and 2010. Self was named Big 12 coach of the year for the fourth time at Kansas and third time in the past four seasons. Robinson and Taylor were unanimous selections for the All-Big 12 first team. Max Rothman PAGE 2B MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN QUOTE OF THE DAY "I'm sorry not everyone heard or knew or didn't pay attention. Mass hysteria tweets Amt (stic) help anything. I am open to listen to good comments." — From @KU_BBallCamping, the official twitter account of the Kansas basketball camping, on Feb. 15. FACT FACT OF THE DAY 1945 students were in attendance for the Mizzou lottery, with almost 300 camp groups. 一 From @KU_BBallCamping TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many groups successfully camped for every home game this season? A:24. @KU_BBallCamping THE MORNING BREW Basketball lottery is a special tradition It's no secret that we take our basketball seriously here at the University of Kansas. This week, I'm not going to talk about how amazing it was to be a part of the atmosphere at the Missouri game, nor am I going to talk about how we are coming off our eighth consecutive Big 12 title. By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com Instead, I'm going to talk about what makes the lottery and camping process so special and unique. Before I get into that, I'd like to explain the rules of the lottery for those of us who don't know exactly how it works. For those of you who know all of this, feel free to breeze through this next paragraph. After every home game, a lottery is held inside Allen Fieldhouse (or the nearby parking garage for those of you at the Ohio State lottery); 6 a.m. on weekdays or 8 a.m. on weekends. This is an opportunity for students who already have their tickets to get better seats in the student section. After a member of your group writes your name down on the list, someone yells "ROLL CALL!" When your group is called, for every five people present in your group (30 maximum), someone gets to draw a number. The lowest number picked is the order that your group will enter through the student entrance for the game. You would think we would stop there, but no. That's just the lottery; we still have to camp. Depending on the game, camping could start anywhere from the day of the game to a week before the game starting right after the lottery picks, as was the case for Missouri. Here's where strategy comes into play. You and your entire group must figure out each other's schedules and assign camping times for everyone in the group. My group found the easiest way to do this was to start a spreadsheet online that we all could log into and add in our names. We did ours in two-hour increments, but any time works as long as someone is always there from the time doors open to the time doors close. Camping goes from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Once camping starts, it's a sneaky mind game to move up to the next spot up on the list. Anyone camping can call "ROLL CALLI" at any point throughout the day, and if no one is present when they call your group, out comes the pen and off the list your group goes and all of those hours put towards camping were for nothing. But here's what fascinates me the most about all of this: It's all student-run. For something that is just operated off a few sheets of paper and some number tiles, you would think it would be susceptible to cheating and slight bending of the rules, and if there is a problem it usually goes to a group vote on the matter. But this whole process has become so engrained in the culture of basketball at Kansas that people don't mess around KU with it. Just to put it all into perspective, students sometimes have no problem pushing the snooze button one too many times to sleep right through their 8 a.m. class (not that I would ever do such a thing as a student), but for the lottery students may set two, three or sometimes four alarms to ensure they make it to the 6 a.m. camping slot. All of this just goes to show how much students are willing to do just to get better seats inside the Fieldhouse. When you can get a turnout of almost 2,000 students at a lottery at 8 a.m. just for an opportunity to be closer to the action, it really shows how dedicated Kansas fans are and how respected the lottery system is.

The Jayhawks managed only one hit, a walk and a hit batter after the second inning. Gonzaga pitcher Andy Hunter dominated throughout the ball game. Hunter threw eight innings, allowing two runs on six hits and one hit batter, while striking out eight batters. Hunter retired 14 straight layhawks in a span that lasted from the third inning until the first batter in the eighth. Leadoff hitter and shortstop Kevin Kuntz said despite some discouraging results, the layhawks can't get away from their approach at the plate. "We need to keep hunting fastballs." Kuntz said. "We have to stay away from the curveball unless there's two strikes or it's elevated." Kuntz was one of the lone Tavlor JEREMY SMITH Kuntz was bright spots in the Kansas lineup, going 3-for-4 on the day with a run, an RBI and a stolen base. Kuntz scored the first run of the game in the top of the first inning when third baseman Zac Elgie squeeze-bunted him home with one out. "I was just trying to be aggressive and find a fastball in the zone and put a good swing on it," Kuntz said. Kansas junior pitcher Thomas Taylor gave away the lead immediately in the bottom half of the inning, allowing a two-run double with one out. Taylor labored through 5.2 innings of work, allowing five runs on 10 hits and two walks, while striking out three. Taylor left the game with two outs in the sixth inning and the Jayhawks trailing 3-2 with two runners on base. "They got on me early with my fast-ball," Taylor said. "I had to start using my slider earlier than I wanted to get into the game." S Kuntz Sunday was the first time this season that Taylor has given up a run. In his first two starts of the season, Taylor threw 14.1 scoreless innings and allowed just seven hits. "It's always in the back of your head," Taylor said. "But at the same time, it wasn't in my thought process. I went out there doing the same things." Taylor gave way to reliever Tanner Poppe to try and get out of the jam. Poppe, the hard-throwing right-hander, couldn't shut down Gonzaga. He gave up a two-run double to Gonzaga shortstop Steven Halcomb, the first batter he faced. Poppe then hit his next batter before allowing an RBI single to outfielder Royce Bolinger. The jayhawks would go on to lose the game 7-2 to the Bulldogs. It is the fifth time this season that the Kansas baseball team has failed to score more than three runs. Despite starting the season strong and winning their first four games, the Jayhawks have since gone 1-5 to fall back to .500 for the season. Kansas dropped all three games this weekend at the UTSA Classic. The Jayhawks were outscored 22-12 by their opponents during the weekend. "We have to try and come back from this and keep our heads up and learn from the adversity," Taylor said.

Tournament games will continue all week long, with championship games being played on Wednesday, March 7 and Thursday, March 8 inside Allen Fieldhouse. The playoffs are exciting, as they take on a "March Madness" type of feel. Win or go home, and Imagine getting the chance to take the court in Allen Fieldhouse for the championship in your respective league. This is an experience some can only dream of. you can bet these teams will lay it on all the line every night. One particular fan-favorite team is the group consisting of the Kansas men's basketball managers. The team, coached by the players, has been on a tear currently sitting at 6-0. They go by the name "Perpetual Motion Squad" and will play their Sweet Sixteen game tonight at 5 against the "Marching Band Hoop Dreams" team, which currently sits at 1-4. Perpetual Motion Squad came into the tournament as the number four seed, earning a 1st-round bye before winning by forfeit in the last round. Even with the fourth seed, Kansas forward Thomas Robinson and some of the team's players strongly believe the team will come through and win the tournament. "Why shouldn't they?" Robinson said with a smile. "They've got the best coaches in the world!" "Red team is winnin' it all," said Doug Compton, a junior from Lawrence on the Perpetual Motion Squad. "We cuttin' down the nets." The team's head coach, Matt Shorman senior from Hays, was more cautious with his predictions, taking a page out of Bill Self's manual. "We just gotta take it one game at a time, and enjoy the ride because that's what it's all about," Shrorman said. In other intramural news, intramural leagues for the Spring intramural season are beginning registration. Several leagues will begin open registration on March 6, while some other registrations close on the same day.

One Jayhawk took advantage of that opportunity. TRACK Junior Horizontal jumper Andrea Gebuleb jumped a season best in the long jump at the Alex Wilson Invitational at the University of Notre Dame. The jump moved herself from nineteenth to sixth in the long jump rankings, placing her ahead of teammate and Big 12 long jump champion Junior Francine Simpson (10) and guarantees Gebelle a spot in the event at the National Championship on Friday. It was also an important weekend for Demi Payne, sophomore pole vaulter, as she traveled to compete in the Arkansas Invitational. Going into the event, Payne needed to add less than an inch to her season best pole vault to tie for sixteenth in the event and be awarded a spot in the national championship. She could not reach the mark and ultimately failed to improve upon her highest mark of the season. On the men's side, the 4x400 meter relay team ran its best time of the season at the Alex Wilson Invitational on Saturday. The women's 4x400 team escaped the weekend with their name still attached to the best time in the nation so far. They took the weekend off as they have been automatically qualified for the national championship since the Tyson Invitational on Feb.11. The Jayhawks will have eight female athletes competing in six events in Boise, Idaho on Friday for national championships. The women's 4x400 meter relay team is ranked first in the nation, as is Andrea Geubelle in the triple jump. Junior Paris Daniels will run in the 200-meter race, Geubelle and Simpson both compete in the long jump, senior Alena Krechyk in the weight throw and sophomore Diamond Dixon will race for the NCAA's 400-meter title. MLB -Max Goodwin Bees rush the baseball field ASSOCIATED PRESS SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — This was no 'B' game. The Diamondbacks' grounds crew used a combination of cotton candy and lemonade to help disperse a swarm of bees that delayed the San Francisco Giants split squad's 11-1 win over Arizona for 41 minutes in the second innning Sunday. With runners on second and third and one out in the second inning, a dark cloud appeared in right field, sending Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young sprinting toward left. "I didn't see them at first I just heard them," Young said. "I am not afraid of one or two of them. I wouldn't flinch at that. When you start talking about 500, 600 of them yea, I am afraid of that. I would be afraid of anything of that many. If there were that many mosquitoes, I would be afraid of that." With the bees buzzing, Young and right fielder Adam Eaton signed autographs and mingled with fans near the center field fence. Giants center fielder Angel Pagan was prepared if the bees reached the dugout. The bees moved toward the right field line then down to the Giants dugout behind first base. Two sections of fans near the dugout were evacuated and the bees settled in a camera well adjacent to the dugout. "I was right next to the bathroom in case I had to lock myself in," Pagan said. They smeared a combination of concession-stand lemonade and cotton candy on two utility carts and lured many of the bees away from fans and players. Some of the bees, however, found a perch on a television camera. Only one person reported being stung, a Salt River Fields employee. The grounds crew came up with a sweet solution. Diamondback ace Ian Kennedy was on the mound when the bees showed up and didn't return after the 41-minute delay, Kennedy threw 29 pitches, allowing one run and three hits. "I was almost done. I was ready to go back out there but it was way too long to go back in," Kennedy said. "I threw a lot of fastballs, one or two breaking balls to get my command but for the most part a lot of fastballs." 419 462 503 Giants starter, non-roster invitee Brian Burres, was also pulled after the delay. He allowed one hit in one inning. Once the game resumed Hector Sanchez smacked the first pitch from Diamondbacks reliever Barry Enright for an RBI single to give the Giants a 1-0 lead. San Francisco blew the game open in the fourth inning when the first four batters all singled and scored. Ryan Theriot, Sanchez and Brett Pill each had three hits for San Francisco in a 21-hit barrage. Sanchez also had three RBIs and Pill two. ASSOCIATED PRESS The San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks' split squad scrimmage was delayed for 41 minutes Sunday. "I thought we swung the bats well yesterday, and today the two guys at the top of the order. (Pagan and Melkey Cabrera) showed us we are a little more athletic; Giants Manager Bruce Bochy said. "Really though out the lineup guys swung the bat well today. All of them did. It was a very nice ballgame."

After a sluggish first half (we've seen those before) Robinson finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds. The unexpected ovation after the game was the cherry on top. Robinson GAME TO FORGET Travis Reløford, Junior guard This isn't about Releford's five points. That's what Self probably expects from him. No, this is about J Covan Brown's 33 points. While El吉汗 Johnson played a role here, Releford was the primary defender on Brown. Self said after the game that Releford's lack of aggression has led to poor defensive outings such as this one. PARKER Releford QUOTE OF THE GAME "It was a pretty fitting way to finish the season. Now we have to make it a special season in postseason play." Bill Self, coach PETER L. RANDER Self 30-16 Kansas outscored Texas by this margin near the basket. 52. 4% Taylor converted all eight of his free-throw attempts. KEY STATS Texas guard J'Covan Brown scored this percent of his team's points. The Jayhawks shot this percentage from the field in the second half. 8-8 All 13 players on the roster played on Saturday. 62.5% 13 NOTES - Kansas is the only Big 12 team to finish the conference season undefeated at home. - Kansas finished the regular season undefeated at home for the 17th time in school history. - The Jayhawks have now won on senior night 29 years in a row. - The Jayhawks finished with 16 conference wins for the second time ever. (2002-2003). - Thomas Robinson tallied his 22nd double-double of the season, which leads the Big 12 MEN'S BASKET FINAL FAREWELL KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Coach Bill Sell said he received numerous letters from fans leading up to Saturday night's game against Texas, urging him to allow junior forward Thomas Robinson to share a few words alongside the three seniors who would be honored before and after the final home game of the season. It's obvious to most everyone that Robinson has played his last game in Allen Fieldhouse and considering his special circumstances, some thought he should be an exception to the time-honored senior night festivities. "Paul Pierce didn't do it," Self said of the possibility of letting Robinson speak. "All the other guys that left early didn't do it. I don't think you make exceptions on "I think he knows he kind of got off to a slow start," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "Coach wanted him to do different things, and I think he picked it up." Robinson traded in a 30 percent first half shooting performance for seven of nine in the second half. listened to Juvenem and Teahans speeches. As the crowd prepared to shower Taylor with a standing ovation, Self took the microphone. He grabbed defensive rebounds and turned into a de facto point guard at times, driving for a layup or pulling up for a mid-range jump shot. Robinson finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds. He's "He played like the player of the year." Taylor added. Senior Night to do that." He's ballooned from a potential All-American to one of the All-Americans, a leading candidate for the National Player of the Year Award and a near-lock to be chosen in the top ten of this summer's NBA draft. "It was shocking," Robinson said. "I was looking around to see if any one else knew about it. Then I was thinking I had to speak, and I was going crazy at that point." Robinson wasn't his usual self in the first half. He went to the locker room at the break with seven points and five rebounds as Kansas held a 26-21 lead over the Longhorns. After the 73-63 victory over Texas, a short video montage of the senior class — Jordan Juenemann, Conner Teahan, and Tyshawn Taylor — played on the video board above center court. Robinson sat on the floor in front of the Kansas bench with his teammates and But senior night at Kansas is a special thing. All of the national media praise and future riches couldn't hide the fact that Robinson is still just a junior. now averaging 18 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, this is his first season of getting serious minutes. Self brought the packed house to a roar when he told Robinson to stand up and be acknowledged. He stuck to his guns, though, and didn't allow him to speak. Robinson called it a special moment regardless. "I do think he's definitely worthy of being recognized," Self said after the game. Then he smiled and said, "And if he wants to talk, like I said, he can come back next year." - Edited by Caroline Kraft KANSAS 10 CHRIS BRONSON /KANSAN Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor drives the ball down the court during a fast break in the second half of Saturday's game against Texas where Taylor had 22 points in the Jayhawks 73-63 victory.

PAGE 6B MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012 NBA THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Injured Bryant drops 33 points against Heat ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant scored 33 points in his third straight stellar performance since Dwyane Wade broke his nose in the All-Star game, and Wade managed just 16 points before fouling out midway through the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 93-83 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday. Metta World Peace scored 17 points while leading a solid defensive effort for the Lakers, who have won 17 of their last 18 home games. Andrew Bynum had 16 points and 13 rebounds as Los Angeles never trailed in the final 44 minutes against Miami, snapping a four-game skid in Bryant's head-to-head matchups with Wade's Heat. LeBron James had 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists for the Heat, who lost on the final two stops of their three-game trip after nine consecutive victories. Only Mike Miller's jumper with 21.4 seconds left saved Miami from its lowest-scoring performance of the season. Just one week after Wade gave bryant a concussion with a hard foul in the All-Star game, Bryant scored 18 points in a dynamic first quarter while wearing a clear plastic mask over his still-tender nose. He added just enough big baskets in the second half to keep the Lakers ahead, finishing with his third straight 30-point game as the Masked Mamba. Wade scored 16 points on 7-for-17 shooting before fouling out with 5:14 to play, committing three foul in rapid succession for an early end to a rough day. Wade and James were both out of sync, as evidenced by their combined 2-for-5 performance at the free-throw line. Pau Gasol had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who have won eight of 10 to challenge the Clippers atop the Pacific Division. Mario Chalmers scored 15 for the Heat, who played their third straight game without Chris Bosh after the All-Star forward attended his grandmother's funeral on Saturday. Miami beat the Lakers in their first meeting of the season six weeks ago even with James battling the flu and Wade sitting out with a sprained ankle. Although the Staples Center crowd roundly booed Wade during pregame introductions and the first few times he touched the ball, Wade apologized profusely after the All-Star game to Bryant, his fellow U.S. Olympian. Bryant insisted he bore no grudge, saying Wade would never injure him on purpose. Bryant then played the first quarter with a fire that sure appeared to be motivated by something even bigger than an elite opponent and a national television audience. Driving to the hoop and hitting fallaway jumpers with equal grace, Bryant went 8 for 10 and earned a handful of standing ovations while leading Los Angeles to a 10-point lead. Bryant didn't make a shot in the second quarter, but the Lakers expanded their lead with Bynum's stellar inside play and help from rookie Andrew Goudelock, who made two 3-pointers, and World Peace, who scored eight points and played solid defense on James. the second and Los Angeles led 50-38 at the break. The Heat surpassed their lowest-scoring half of the season by just one point after making only three shots in the final 7:46. James made just one shot in Miami controlled the third quarter behind James, who guarded everybody from Gasol to point guard Steve Blake depending on the Heat's needs. But when James slightly shoved Troy Murphy in frustration after missing a layup at the third-quarter buzzer, Gasol stepped in to challenge James, earning matching technical fouls before officials and World Peace restored order. Los Angeles nursed its lead through the final period, and the Staples Center crowd gave a standing ovation after Wade committed three fouls in less than three minutes. He picked up his sixth when he foolishly tried to reach over the 7-foot Bynum's back to stop an alley-oop pass. James appeared to injure his left foot with 1:05 to play when he stepped out of bounds and landed awkwardly on the foot of a fan sitting courtside, but he returned to the game after a timeout.

Right when it looked as though McIlroy had no serious challenge Tundra, Tiger Woods put some color into that red shirt with a birdie-eagle finish for a 62 — his lowest final round ever — to get within one shot of the lead. meirah meirah McIlroy could hear the roar from the farthest corner of PGA National, and the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland responded with some clutch golf of his own. He made an 8-foot birdie putt, and then made three clutch par saves during a dawning stretch at PGA National. He played it safe with a two-shot lead on the par-5 18th and made par to close with a 1-under 69 and the victory he needed to replace Luke Donald atop the world ranking that will be published Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Rory McIlroy holds the trophy after winning the Honda Classic golf tournament in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Sunday. McIlroy became the top-ranked golfer in the world. "It was tough today, especially seeing Tiger make a charge," McLtry said. "I knew par golf would probably be good enough. To shoot 1 under in these conditions, when you go into the round with the lead, is very nice. And I was just able to get the job done." Mellroy is the 16th player to be No. 1 in the world, and the second-youngest behind Woods, who was 21 when he first went to No. 1 after the 1997 U.S. Open. Donald responded quickly to the victory, tweeting "Congrats (at)MclroyRory enjoy the view!" Woods made two eagles in the final round and wound up two shots behind. along with Tom Gillis, who birdied the last hole for a 69. Milroy, who finished 12 on-under 268, won for the fifth time in his career.

Rondo's triple-double gives New York a loss in overtime Rondo had 18 points, 20 assists and a career-high 17 rebounds, and Paul Pierce scored 34 — including a 3-pointer with 4.9 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime. Kevin Garnett scored 18 with 10 rebounds, and Ray Allen gave the Celtics the lead for good with a 3-pointer to make it 108-105, then followed it with a fastbreak layup — both on assists from Rondo. BOSTON (AP) — Rajon Rondo had his second triple-double in three games, spoiling Harvard grad Jeremy Lin's return to Boston on Sunday and leading the Boston Celtics to a 115-111 overtime victory over the New York Knicks. Lin picked up two fouls in the first three minutes and struggled to 14 points in 32 minutes. He had five assists and four rebounds while shooting 6 for 16 from the floor. ASSOCIATED PRESS Red Lyon Tavern 944 Massachusetts Street Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points for the Knicks, six of them in the final 100 seconds of regulation as they briefly took the lead. Amare Stoudemire scored 16 with 13 rebounds and Tyson Chandler had 14 boards for New York as it fell a game below .500 and 1 1-2 games behind Boston in the Eastern Conference. Lin, who led the Knicks to seven straight wins after cracking the rotation, had one stretch to remind his fans in Boston what the fuss is all about. Boston led 94-89 with 3:35 left in regulation when he sank the second of two free throws, stole the ball and took it in for a layup and then hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to one point. Anthony took it from there, making the next three Knicks baskets and giving them a 101-100 lead with 36 seconds left. Pierce missed one attempt at a game-winner, but after Novak made a pair of free throws the Celtics captain sank a long, offbalance 3-pointer with 4.9 seconds left in regulation to tie it 103-all. Anthony missed at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. Once there, Rondo took over. He found Allen on the wing for a 3-pointer that gave Boston a 108-105 lead and, after Lin's driving layup bounced around and off the rim, Rondo wound up with the ball on the fast break and dropped it for Allen for the layup. Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust met with Lin before the game, and Crimson coach Tommy Amaker was also at the game one day after the Crimson beat Cornell to clinch at least a share of the Ivy League title. Lin's last trip to play the Celtics, on Feb. 3, he scored just two points in under seven minutes. The next night, he came off the bench to score 25 points against the New Jersey Nets. He has been in the starting lineup ever since, sparking a seven-game winning streak that rejuvenated the Knicks and gave birth to Linsanity. The phenomenon has been felt back in Cambridge, too. The rest of the crowd greeted Lin rudely in the first quarter, but two fouls in the first three minutes seemed to eliminate the chance that it would be another big game. The Knicks fell behind 21-12 in the first quarter before scoring the next 12 points. It was 52-40 New York with 3:33 left in the second, but Boston cut it to five points at the half when the Knicks committed two turnovers in the final 37 seconds and then Anthony fouled Rondo with 0.9 seconds left, sending him to the line for two free throws that made it 56-51. --- Pierce scored 15 points in the third quarter when the Celtics went on a 19-2 run to turn a five-point deficit into a double-digit lead.

KANSAS STATE VS. OKLAHOMA STATE Wildcats secure victory over OSU ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. — Jamar Samuels was surprised when Frank Martin's wife, Anya, slid up next to him before Kansas State's game against Oklahoma State on Saturday. They missed the pregame introductions. They saw most of his phenomenal performance. Samuels was expecting his mother, Ernestine, to walk him onto the court on Senior Day. But her flight had been delayed, and she was stuck on the interstate, so Martin gave his wife a quick call and told her to pinch-hit until Samuels' family arrived. Samuels finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds — committing just one turnover without a foul — and led the Wildcats to a 77-58 win over the shorthanded Cowboys. "Not rattled, I was just like, sigh," Samuels said. "When she said she'll be here soon as she can, I said all right. And the second half came and I saw her here, I got a little excited." By then the Wildcats were well on their way to victory. Rodney McGruderfinishedwith 24 points and Jordan Henriquez had 16 points and eight boards for Kansas State (21-9, 10-8 Big 12), which added another impressive win to its NCAA resume going into next week's Big 12 tournament. Kansas State has won four of its last five games, including back-to-back road wins against Top 10 teams Missouri and Baylor, and has four victories over teams in the RPI Top 25. "We have two objectives," Martin said before tacking on a third. "To go win the Big 12, to go to the NCAA tournament and get a good seed, and then to make a run." Keition Page hit six 3-pointers and finished with 22 points for the Cowboys (14-17, 7-11), who played without star freshman Le'Bryan Nash for the third straight game because of a fractured left hand. It's unclear whether he'll be able to play in the conference tournament. Kansas State had already secured a bye into the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament, where it will be seeded fourth or sixth, depending on the result of other games this weekend. MISSOURI VS. TEXAS TECH Hot three-point shooting plagues Red Raiders LUBBOCK, Texas — Kim English scored 20 points, Marcus Denman added 17 and No. 7 Missouri hit a season-best 16 3-pointers to beat Texas Tech 81-59 on Saturday. Denmon scored all his points in the second half, going 5 of 8 from 3-point range in the half, and Ricardo Ratliffe finished with 13 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. The Tigers (27-4, 14-3 Big 12) slowly pulled away in the second half with 12 of their 3s coming after halftime. The win gave Missouri a school record for victories in the regular season. Texas Tech (8-22, 1-17) stayed with the Tigers in the first half but couldn't keep up with Missouri's long-range barrage, walking away with its worst ever finish in Big 12 play. Jaye Crockett scored 17 points and Ty Nurse added 12 for the Red Raiders. The Tigers turned to the 3-pointer early in the second half and got nine of their first 11 field goals in the opening 12 minutes from beyond the arc to go up 64-48. They had six in a row at one point, with Denmon hitting four of them after going scoreless in the first half. They hit 16 of 26 from 3-point range (61.5 percent).

PAGE 8B MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012 THE GRADING SCALE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Jayhawks close with a solid performance Commentary by: commentary by NATHAN FORDYCE nfordyce@kansan.com Senior guard Conner Teahan GRADE: C JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN Teahan was very quiet for the Jayhawks on his last home game in Lawrence. He went just 1-of-3 for three points in 24 minutes of play. He played solid defense, but his last game in front of the home crowd, not what he probably wanted. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor GRADE: A+ KANSAS 10 BRAIN 22 CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN The last time that Tyshawn Taylor will ever play a game on the hardwood of Allen Field-house happened on Saturday against the Texas Longhorns. He wasn't going to let the Horns beat the Jayhawks for the second straight year in Lawrence. Taylor was great throughout the whole game. He went for 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting and 8-of-8 from the line. He also added four rebounds, four assists and three steals on the night. Junior forward Travis Releford GRADE: C+ reietord was quiet for most of the game. He was his normal pesky self on the defensive side and contributed some on offense. He finished with just five points but he had five rebounds, three on the offensive glass, two assists and a steal. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Junior forward Thomas Robinson GRADE: A+ After the game was over, coach Bill Self acknowledged that that game might have been Robinson's last home game as a member of the Jayhawks. If that is the case, he had a great ending in Allen Fieldhouse. He had yet another double-double and the Horns didn't have a way of stopping him. He went for 25 points on 10-of-19 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds, five on the offensive glass. He also added a couple assists and a block. JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN Junior center Jeff Withey GRADE: B+ ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Withey played a good game, especially on defense. He altered several shots by the Horns and had three blocks on the men from Austin. Withey continued to be quiet on offense however, even though this is what he has been doing all season. Jayhawk fans still have the three-game stretch where he just went off, but he's back to his normal self and it works for the 4. Team in the nation. He had nine points and all but two of those points came from the line. Withey added six rebounds as well. Junior guard Elijah Johnson Grade: B- ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Johnson played great in the first half, especially on the defensive side of the ball. But after haltime, he had a tough time containing junior guard J'Covan Brown. That wasn't necessarily his fault. Brown was the only offense for the Horns so he had to produce and it just happened to come at Johnson's expense. Johnson did score nine points, all his points were from long distance. He grabbed six rebounds on the defensive glass and had two assists on the opposite side of the court. OVERALL PERFORMANCE When the Texas Longhorns rolled into Lawrence, they had aspirations of beating the Kansas Jayhawks two years in a row in Allen Fieldhouse. And if the Longhorns would have came in and won, it would have cemented them into March Madness, but the Jayhawks weren't going to let them polish their resume on their home court. Jayhawk fans might had been worried through the first half of play, even though they went into halftime with a five point lead. It was a sloppy half and the Longhorns managed to stay close. But in the second half, the Jayhawks cleaned up their acts and even though they won by 10, it felt like it was more. As mentioned before, J Covan Brown was the only reason the Longhorns were even in the game with his 33 points. For the Jayhawks, it would have been nice to get more from the supporting cast outside of Robinson and Taylor. Robinson and Taylor combined for 47 of the 73 points. It was a good win, especially since they knew Texas needed this victory. GRADE: B VEGAS FROM DR. KEVIN LENAHAN WIN A FOUR DAY TRIP FOR 2 TO: VEGAS FROM DR.

The lecture was part of the Clifford P. Ketzel Speaker Series for the Expression of Minority Opinions. that having a friend, co-worker or family member who is gay positively affects a person's views about people who are gay. Advocates have been optimistic about the trend and the possible reduction of prejudice, but Egan explored several problems with the hypothesis and its conclusion. Data gathered in polls and studies does not fully examine the factors that might make a person more likely to have a relationship with a gay person, which can produce biased data. Egan pointed out that straight people can fairly accurately deter- But the biggest problem is disclosure. Most research on the contact hypothesis doesn't consider whether or not the gay friend, co-worker or family member actually said they were gay or if it was assumed. relate to college students. "My guess is that when students first come to college, it's often the first time they encounter a gay or lesbian person who acknowledges their identity," Egan said. "By every indication, that should be a pretty powerful predictor and changer of attitudes." Jake Longraker, a graduate student in political science from DeSoto, said Egan's research was very current and showed the dramatic attitude shifts regarding gays and lesbians. It's a topic that he explores in his own research of LGBT communities in Latin America. Research also shows that in the time between freshman and senior year, students generally become more tolerant of gays and lesbians, Egan said. "Knowing what the attitudes are of people, and how you can improve the situation so that you can make those positive changes and you can make changes in laws, is important," Longraker said. Donald Haider-Markel, chair of the Political Science department, said Egan's presentation was part of a lecture series featuring controversial speakers. Egan's presentation was controversial not only because it discussed gays and lesbians, but also because it challenged the common understanding of how the contact hypothesis applies to the LGBT community. Although the lecture series hasn't been going on in recent years, he hopes to make it an annual event. Edited by Christine Curtin public broadcasting network.

While Agbor's work is still preparing for animal testing, Agbor sees the importance of increased options for male contraceptives. "By producing more male birth control, it's going to help males contribute to family planning," Agbor said. The development of these drugs could potentially impact the world, said Tash. Tash cited that half of all pregnancies are unplanned and in the US, half of those unplanned pregnancies occurred while under supposed use of contraceptives. Tash recently presented to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation as an expert in contraception. "The simpler a contraceptive is to use, the more desirable and easy it is to distribute and use."

The moment your landlord puts that shiny new key in your hand it finally sinks in that you have your very own place. But lets rewind a bit. In order to get your paws on that key you have to move. Like I said before the day you move is very memorable.Mine was memorable because it was a tough one. I started packing for my first apartment a week in advance. It took hours upon hours to decide what to take and what to leave at home. I organized clothing, books and kitchen utensils into their own separate boxes. All my memories were put in their proper storage bins.The packing wasn't the hard part,it was the moving itself. By Kayla Banzet kbanzet@kansan.com I had recruited my parents, brother and sister to help me make my long journey to the land of the Jayhawk. My entire life was crammed onto a trailer and the bed of a Ford pick-up truck.I moved into my apartment in July. When we left early that morning the weather wasn't so bad but by the time we arrived to the apartment, it was over 100 degrees. We carried box after box into my new home while the sun beat down on us. Finally after awhile everything was in the apartment. I said my move was a tough one. It wasn't tough because the couch I brought didn't fit through the front door and it wasn't tough because of the ridiculous July heat. It was difficult because it finally sunk in that I had my very own place. Moving away from home can be the hardest part of the moving experience but once you find your place in your new apartment it all falls into place.

"By every indication, that should be a pretty powerful predictor and changer of attitudes." Research also shows that in the time between freshman and senior year, students generally become more tolerant of gays and lesbians, Egan said. Jake Longraker, a graduate student in political science from DeSoto, said Egan's research was very current and showed the dramatic attitude shifts regarding gays and lesbians. It's a topic that he explores in his own research of LGBT communities in Latin America. Patrick J. Egan, Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Policy at New York University, delivers a lecture called, "Frontiers in Research on Attitudes Among and About Gay People," at Watson Library Tuesday afternoon. The lecture was part of the Clifford P. Ketzel Speaker Series for the Expression of Minority Opinions. "Knowing what the attitudes are of people, and how you can improve the situation so that you can make those positive changes and you can make changes in laws, is important," Longraker said. Donald Haider-Markel, chair of the Political Science department, said Egan's presentation was part of a lecture series featuring controversial speakers. Egan's presentation was controversial not only because it discussed gays and lesbians, but also because it challenged the common understanding of how the contact hypothesis applies to the LGBT community. Although the lecture series hasn't been going on in recent years, he hopes to make it an annual event. Edited by Christine Curtin public broadcasting network.

While Agbor's work is still preparing for animal testing, Agbor sees the importance of increased options for male contraceptives. "By producing more male birth control, it's going to help males contribute to family planning," Agbor said. The development of these drugs could potentially impact the world, said Tash. Tash cited that half of all pregnancies are unplanned and in the US, half of those unplanned pregnancies occurred while under supposed use of contraceptives. Tash recently presented to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation as an expert in contraception. "The simpler a contraceptive is to use, the more desirable and easy it is to distribute and use," Tash said.

Moving into and out of apartments in Lawrence can leave you frustrated and homeless if you fail to plan ahead. Kentucky Place 1310 & 1314 Kentucky 2, 3, & 4 BR from $595 Ranch Way On Clinton Parkway 2 & 3 BR from $760 Home Gage Management Katya Martin, a senior from Great Falls, Mt., transferred to KU last year. When she left Washington D.C., her lease wouldn't allow her to move in until two weeks after she arrived. "I didn't have anywhere to live. I had to get a storage unit and stay with my parents," Martin said. It is important to plan ahead. Herbert suggests that arrangements should be made before spring break to rent a moving truck for May. When moving at the end of July and beginning of August, Curt Cochran, manager of Jayhawk Moving Services said residents need to make moving accommodations at least a month before their moving date. Jayhawk Moving Services provides two men and a truck for the moving process. They charge $75 an hour, including a student discount. For college students renting a small truck, the average cost is about $30 to $40 at Budget Truck Rental. The initial cost for a small truck rental is $24 per day plus 55 cents per mile. Amanda Kauk, a sophomore from Wilson, N.C., gets ready to move out. Packing and organizing belongings before a moving company arrives can save time and money. Some businesses charge to pack belongings for you. "Normally people pack their own boxes. That saves them money because (the charge is) basically by the hour," Joan Qandil, director at Local Moves said. Local Moves' services are flexible. This business provides as many men and trucks needed to help with a move. For two men and one truck, they charge $79 an hour.

The moving process may be a bit easier and cheaper for truck and SUV owners. When Kyle Ross, a junior from Meade, moved to an apartment in Lawrence, he used his own pick-up truck. "Have everything boxed up and ready to go before the day of the move. Have the walk ways clear so that the movers can move in and out quickly," he said. "Be organized and you'll save money." 541 Michigan Washer/Dryer Included 1 BR $550 / 3 BR $625 "They told me that when I moved out, it was coming out by hacksaw," Martin said. "Start slimming down on stuff now and try to get rid of anything that you don't really need." Ariel Miller, a sophomore from Overland Park, and her three roommates split the cost of a U-Haul truck. "It took me pretty much a whole day to get everything packed up but I was able to take everything in one load, which was nice," Ross said. The trickiest part of his move was keeping his 50-inch flat screen television from breaking. Ross advised, "If you buy a TV, keep the box because it makes it a lot easier to move it. I've seen people using U-Hauls but I really don't think that it's necessary." Ross said. Moving can be a one-man-job for some people.

Living with other people in college is something we've all had to adjust to. Dealing with dirty dishes or roommates who won't pay bills is not the ideal living situation, so how does one communicate effectively and avoid a fight? Lauren Gaylor, a sophomore from League City, Texas, said the first thing to do is wait until you're calm before confronting your roommate. "Every time I get angry with my roommate I decide to wait a day before I confront the situation. That way I have a chance to calm down and talk about what is bothering me," Gaylor said. Gaylor said to avoid leaving post-it notes, writing on white boards or texting about problems. Communicating through notes can lead to a misunderstanding and cause a fight that could have been avoided. She said that after a problem is addressed the next step is to compromise. "My roommates used to have a lot of friends over to study when I would need to go to bed. The noise prevented me from sleeping, so I decided to address the issue." Gaynor said. "They agreed to socialize with friends elsewhere at night." Mary Anderson, a sophomore from Edina, Mimi... said the worst thing you can do is address an issue at the wrong place and time. "Avoid talking about things under the influence of alcohol. If you know you're going out one night make sure to address the situation before hand so the argument doesn't get out of control," Anderson said. It's all about how you approach your roommate. Make sure they have time to talk, aren't stressed out and are willing to listen. Anderson said. "Never accuse your roommate of a problem. Calmly address what is bothering you and suggest a reasonable solution," she said. Also, ask your roommate if anything is bothering them. The key is to be open to change. If you are not willing to change, your roommate most likely won't want to either. EXPLOSIVE MEFF One great word of advice is to compromise when buying household items said Stephanie Loftus, a junior from Chicago. "My roommate and I switch off buying items like soap and toilet paper, but we agree to buy separate food. The trick is to make a plan and stick to it," Loftus said. Loftus also said that complimenting your roommate helps keep the peace. "When my roommate compliments me on cleaning up the kitchen it makes me more forgiving when she leaves a dish or two in the sink," Loftus said. "The trick to getting along successfully with a roommate is all about compromise." TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Next time you are upset with your roommate, think twice before throwing all their clothes away or threatening to move out. Being calm, cool and collected is the secret to peaceful roommate survival. Roommates Matt Watson and Carson Rufledt, freshmen from Wausau, Wis., argue about how clean their room should be. - Edited by Bre Roach U 100% Create Your Memories.

What was the hardest part of moving from a dorm to an apartment? "When I was helping a friend move out of the dorm, we were on one of the really, really, high floors. We couldn't get the stuff to fit in the elevator, so we had to go through the stairs. People had to go underneath of us, and some people had to backup into the hallway because we couldn't fit them in. When we tried to go up the stairs someone dropped their laundry bag down the stairway and it hit my friend, and then he tripped and fell down the stairs. Living on the upper floors is kind of a hassle." If there was one thing you could change about the dorms, what would it be? "Bigger or more elevators." P. A. H. S.

Advocates have been optimistic about the trend and the possible reduction of prejudice, but Egan explored several problems with the hypothesis and its conclusion.

Most research on the contact hypothesis doesn't consider whether or not the gay friend, co-worker or family member actually said they were gay or if it was assumed. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN "My guess is that when students first come to college, it's often the first time they encounter a gay or lesbian person who acknowledges their identity," Egan said. "By every indication, that should be a pretty powerful predictor and changer of attitudes." Patrick J. Egan, Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Policy at New York University, delivers a lecture called, "Frontiers in Research on Attitudes Among and About Gay People," at Watson Library Tuesday afternoon. The lecture was part of the Clifford P. Ketzel Speaker Series for the Expression of Minority Opinions. Jake Longraker, a graduate student in political science from DeSoto, said Egan's research was very current and showed the dramatic attitude shifts regarding gays and lesbians. It's a topic that he explores in his own research of LGBT communities in Latin America. Research also shows that in the time between freshman and senior year, students generally become more tolerant of gays and lesbians, Egan said. "Knowing what the attitudes are of people, and how you can improve the situation so that you can make those positive changes and you can make changes in laws, is important," Longraker said. versial not only because it discussed gays and lesbians, but also because it challenged the common understanding of how the contact hypothesis applies to the LGBT community.

For most University students, there are four ways to get to class: walking, biking, riding the bus, or driving a car. Walking to campus can be great exercise Waiting to camp can be particularly with the hills. It is cost-free, runs on what ever schedule you need it to, and gets you to where you need to go in the most direct way possible. The biggest issue lies in how much time is consumed with walking, and how miserable bad weather can be. "The negative side of going to school is that, I can't park my car in the campus during weekdays and I need a special parking permit for it takes about five minutes to get from his apartment near Fraser Hall to his classes. a specific location," said Anna Bang, a sophomore from South Korea. "The bus schedule is usually off time. Therefore, bus transportation is a little risky." "I live pretty much on-campus in an apartment, but the downside is that I live in the student ghetto, close to the underage bars, and rent is a little higher because of the location." Ware said. To solve this problem, Bang says that she usually chooses the seven-minute walk to campus from her apartment. "The negative side of going to school is that, I can't park my car in the campus during weekdays and I need a special parking permit for a specific location." Biking can be another great mode of transportation. Like walking, a bike allows the rider Kevin Ware, a senior from Lenexa, said that ANNA BANG SOUTH KOREA, SOPHOMORE to get exercise and go directly from Point A to Point B. But with bikes the hills can be more of a challenge, though riding a bike is faster than walking. Matt Ross, a senior from Kansas City, MO, rents a house near campus. By bike, he says he is only nine minutes away, and he is not sure whether or not his home is on the bus route. Riding the bus is not as direct as walking or biking, but it is a free mode of transportation that tends to be faster than the first two. Although riding the bus eliminates the hassle of parking, there is always the concern that the bus might come early or late. Alternatively, using the bus means that you have more apartment options because you do not have to be directly off-campus. Most apartments in Lawrence advertise if they are on the bus route, and for those who do not know, it's easy enough to tell by looking at a bus schedule. YOUR PLACE, YOUR SPACE The last mode of transportation, driving a car, can often be the trickiest. Having a car at KU does not guarantee you can get to class. In fact, if you aren't prepared with the correct permits, then having a car can be a huge hindrance. Yasaman Hajjari a junior from Overland Park, said that she lives an apartment on the Bus Route 32, and usually gets to class by way of car or bus. Starting at $495/MONTH "I have a yellow permit, which cost me, I think. $200 for the whole year – pretty price" Water & Trash Paid considering how terrible parking availability is, and all parking is downhill and far from campus" REMINGTON Square Parking on campus can range anywhere from $100 for a Park and Ride permit, which allows students to park on West Campus and be bused over to main campus, to $235 for a Mississippi Street or Allen Fieldhouse parking garage permit, which allows students to park in their designated parking garage. Parking permits are very specific on where and when they can be used, so in order to avoid a ticket, it's important to get the permits straight before trying to park on campus. - Brand New in 2009 - Pool & Resident Lounge - 24 hour Fitness Center Edited by Katie James - On-site Vending - On-site Laundry - Pet Friendly (20 lbs or less) One Bedroom Apartment 4100 W. 24th Place Lawrence, KS 66047 785.856.7788 - On-Site Recycling - All-Electric www.RemingtonSquareApartments.com BICYCLE CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Riding a bike or walking to campus gets rid of the hassle of finding a parking space.

Some students choose to avoid Lawrence housing and commute to campus from surrounding areas like Topeka and the Kansas City metro. "I chose to commute mostly because it was much better for me financially," said Allison Mueller, a freshman from Topeka. "I also don't mind the drive at all." Mueller lives with her parents and her boyfriend. She spends about $40 per week on gas and drives to Lawrence five days a week. "It's cheaper because the cost of gas isn't as much as living on campus would have cost me," Mueller said. On the other hand, Courtney Newman, a junior from Leavenworth, said that she has lived on campus for her entire time at the University. "I feel like if I didn't live on campus, I wouldn't go to class," Newman said. "I definitely wouldn't go to anything that's not class." To Mueller, commuting makes it harder to get involved in campus activities. "I don't feel like a part of the KU community," Mueller sad. "Because of the limited time I'm on campus, I'm not a part of anything at KU. I go to class, and I go home. I pretty much feel like a high school student still." However, Mueller still prefers the commute. "The best part is being able to live at home with all its comforts: family, homemade meals and laundry." Mueller said.

But one other factor that can be overlooked is whether to lease an apartment that is pre-furnished. Most apartments come with major appliances, but for a more expensive rent each month, some apartments come furnished with beds, desks and sofas. A main argument for leasing a furnished apartment is having everything all ready and waiting to be used. Jackie Cutler, a sophomore from Overland Park, rents an apartment that she had to furnish herself. "I prefer furnished because it is more convenient to already have furniture in the apartment," Cutler said. "My advice to others is to get a furnished apartment over a non-furnished apartment." Cost also has to be taken into the decision. Jordan Press, a junior from Overland Park, lives in an apartment that was not furnished when he moved in. He prefers it this way and believes that the costs of buying furniture will balance out the additional rent expenses in a furnished apartment. "Originally, I bought a bunch of furniture when I moved into Jayhawker Towers," Press said. "I chose it unfurnished because I knew that the cost balance would be in my favor after a few years. So when I found this apartment, I loved it and it being unfurnished didn't matter to me." But others think that it's a better deal to lease a furnished apartment, like Dustin Pickett, a freshman from Overland Park, who recently signed a lease for a furnished apartment. "Finding furniture is complicated with splitting costs and knowing what to do with it at the end of the lease," Pickett said. Students who opt to lease an unfurnished apartment have a greater selection of apartments, though. It also lets the leaser have more choice in his everyday furniture. Patrick Witthaus, a freshman from St. Louis, likes having the ability to make his apartment his own. "It it not only seems cleaner by using non-used furnishings, but it also allows myself to design my own space to my specifications," Witthaus said. The furniture quality in furnished apartments can also be a concern for students. "Most furnished apartments have uncomfortable, cheap furniture." Press said. "So I found a bed and mattress I loved and a couple of couches that I liked and kept them when I moved." The decision ultimately comes down to preference. "I think for most people the best plan is to find a place you like first, then decide if you are able to buy new furniture," Press said. - Edited by Christine Curtin FURNISHED LAWRENCE APARTMENTS The Reserve on West 31st Legends Place The Grove — Meadowbrook Apartments (Studio) The Connection SUDOKU Sudoku #1 Conceptis SudoKu By Dave Green 5 9 1 3 6 8 8 4 2 9 1 8 3 6 5 2 2 7 6 4 8 9 4 6 Difficulty Level ★★★★★ $ \textcircled{2} 0 1 2 $ Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

DYLAN SNYDER/KANSAN Daycare proximity key factor in housing decision for next year. DYLAN SNYDER dsnyder@kansan.com Between the dorms, the lofts that overlook Massachusetts Street and the homes on Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, Lawrence offers a wide variety of housing options for students. When signing a lease, most students consider the proximity to campus and the price of rent, but students who have children must weigh their choices more carefully. Josh Fieleke, a former student who is now a member of Campus Crusade for Christ., had to find a place that would be suitable for his 20-month-old daughter. "We were looking for a place with clean carpet because our baby was about to be crawling," Fieleke said. "We were looking for a quieter place so our baby could sleep." After searching around town, Fieleke settled on a townhome. The townhome's setup offered all that he was looking for and a bit of privacy as well. Mary Mba, a doctorate student from Manhattan, had the same challenge. When she moved to Lawrence in 2007 to begin studies on her doctorate degree, she moved with her three children: ages four, six and nine. She wanted to find a place near playgrounds and families with similar living situations. "I was particularly interested in living in a peaceful place that would be family friendly," Mba said. "I also wanted a place where it would be possible for me to get to access all of my children's schools and childcare easily, so Hilltop Daycare was a choice. I needed to be able to get there fast from campus." Daycare, a daycare operated by the University. According to the Department of Student Housing, about 55 percent of the Stouffer Place resi- After shopping around, Mba settled on Stouffer Place Association, on-campus student housing tailored for graduate students and students with families. Stouffer Place Association, formerly known as the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, opened in 1957 as a section of student housing open specifically to graduate students and students with families. "I was particularly interested in living in a peaceful place that would be family friendly." "Since it is mainly students who live there, it is easy to stay focused on my academic work as I see others doing the same." Mba said. "So it is easy to self-motivate in an environment like the Stouffer Place and keep our children focused as well." Not only is Stouffer Place located on campus, but it is within walking distance of the Hilltop MARY MBA doctorate student of the student Pads dents are families, and 150 children live there. The apartments offer lau- dry services, utilities are included in the rent and the Associate Director for Residence Life, Jennifer Wamelink, says that there are plans to reduce the rent as much as possible. There are also housing scholarships available to students who quality. There are a limited number of apartments in Stouffer Place, so admittance is granted on a first come, first served basis. Many students choose to live off campus. Danyel Bell, a masters student from Lawrence , has a 7-year-old daughter, Victoria. Bell was looking for a place near an elementary school and away from traditional students. Bell searched Craigslist and drove around town looking for a place that would be right for her and her familv. "It would be nice if information about day care and housing were available or suggested during the admittance process," Bell said. "If I were a freshman just coming from high school, I would probably get information about living on campus, but that is not an option for me, and there is very limited availability for housing for non-traditional students on campus, anyway." There are few resources dedicated to help students with families find a safe and affordable place to live. However, the Non-Traditional Student Foundation is a group dedicated to providing services and resources to non-traditional students. But because there are no complexes in Lawrence dedicated solely to families with children, students may find themselves living next to students with kids. "I have had single-student neighbors who partied until late into the night," Mba said. "They too should be considerate in the way that they conduct themselves and know that there are neighbors with children living next door."

This was not an extravagant gift for Katie, but rather an investment her parents made. The senior from Louisberg's mother, Amy Mulich, said there was a lot of number crunching before they decided to buy. She found that the house would be a tax write-off and the rent from the other tenants would cover the mortgage. "We had to make the numbers work." Amy said. In her 35 years of selling houses, Lawrence real estate agent Mary Lou Roberts has seen a fair amount of parents buy houses for their children to live in while attending the University. The typical price range parents are buying at is around $100,000. She said some parents buy houses for the benefits of having a place to stay when they want to attend games or other events. “[Parents] see it as a good investment,” Roberts said. "They will invest rather than paying rent." Amy and her husband looked for a year before they found a house in a location close to campus with a decent price tag. After renovating it, Katie moved in along with five other girls. This was Amy and her husband's first time buying a house to rent out to college students as well as their daughter. "It was a learning experience." Amy said. But she found the key was finding responsible students to live there. Katie said her parents expect her and her roommates to take care of the house while they live there because her parents plan to eventually sell it. When it comes to paying rent, though, Katie says there is some leniency. "My parents are really flexible, which is nice because they know all the girls here." Katie said. She also said all the girls in the house get along which is important when living in a house together. "One bad roommate can make the whole house change," Katie said. "You have to get a group of people that flow together." Any said they started offering month-to-month leases in case roommate issues did come up. She also recommended that parents consider buying a house if they have the means to do so.

But there are also a lot of historical housing developments. According to the City of Lawrence website, the oldest house in Lawrence is the Murphy-Bromelsick house, now a museum, located at the corner of 10th and Delaware Street. According to the website, the house was the home of important figures Myra B. Hobbs and abolitionist John Speer, who moved here to Lawrence in the 1850s to block slavery from entering Kansas and was later involved in helping rebuild Lawrence after the infamous William Quantrill. The website's article went on to say that 2009 marked the 150th anniversary of Kansas icon John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The oldest house in Lawrence is the Murphy-Bromelsick house. The house is currently a museum. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN "The Murphy-Bromelsick house is part of a monument dedicated to Lawrence's roots in the fight for freedom and civil rights," the website says. There are also several old apartment complexes located in Lawrence. One of the oldest complexes are Meadowbrook Apartments located at 15th and Crestline. According to the company profile on manta.com, records show it was developed around the 1970s. The company website, meadowbrookapartments.net, says the complex is within walking distance of the University and close to historic, downtown Lawrence. To keep this historic complex in Lawrence, it went underwent expansion and other renovations in 2005.

The official Meadowbrook Apartments website, Meadowbrook apartments.net, has this encouraging advice for potential renters and the complex is taking fall reservations now. "Our campus is surrounded by green space and we are happy to have a community with a strictly enforced noise policy!"

When he returned, his PlayStation 3 and his roommate's guitar were missing. Gerard, a ballet performer and instructor living on his own for the first time, had never robbed before. "I felt destroyed and lost," he said. "The safety of mind I had with my first place was gone. Most of all, I felt unsafe." His former apartment complex has no on-site security, a measure Gerard believes could have prevented the crime. The apartment manager of Fox Run, Mike Smith, agrees. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN "Security guards are definitely a deterrent" he said. with crime prevention. Smith employs guards from Mil-Spec Security Group, a local company that provides onsite officers, patrols and money couriers for approximately 45 apartment complexes in the Lawrence area. All Mil-Spec Security officers are given accredited law enforcement training and carry law enforcement equipment, including firearms. On-site security guards help deter potential robbers from entering an apartment complex or property. "They are there when things are developing," he said. "Basically, if they see a drunk driver run into a parked car, or they catch somebody trying to break into someone's back window, they are there to see it, to stop it and to document it for the complex." Zach Marrs, co-owner of the company and law enforcement trainer, also believes that security guards, particularly on-site officers, help Though Lawrence may feel safe to students, violent crime rates and property crime rates are higher than the national average. Marrs warns that gangs from Topeka and Kansas City often use Lawrence as a hiding spot from warrants, and that they view college students as potential targets. "Gangs know that there are a lot of students that live in this town that have some money and that they have nice cars, golf clubs, things like that," he said. Gerard's former apartment complex only provides security cameras, a deterrent that he believes may actually do more harm than good. "There was a court case where a woman was accosted and raped," Gerard said. "She saw security cameras and assumed someone would come help, but no one was watching the cameras. Nobody ever showed up, and she ended up suing the mall. To some extent, cameras are a liability. They give someone the false sense that someone is watching them when they're not." KU student Cory Rosene, who lives in an apartment complex protected by Mil-Spec Security, recommends that students consider safety when selecting an apartment. "I would definitely, if you're looking to live somewhere, make sure there is good security," Rosene said. "I've had no problems. It is still one of those things you want to think about." "Who wants to live in an apartment complex when you hear somebody down the street is raped or murdered?"

The bins provide an easy way for students to recycle several different types of materials without having to go out of their way to do it. AVALON COLE TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN acole@kansan.com Recycling may seem like a difficult task students avoid because they don't feel like dealing with the hassle. What most do not know is that reducing, reusing, and recycling is easier than it seems. There are thousands of ways you can start, right in your own apartment. Aileen Dingus, the program coordinator at the Environmental Stewardship Program, suggests starting by sorting your recyclable materials using 8-pound tote bins. She said the bins cost about three dollars and come in different colors so it is easy to distinguish where to put each material. For example aluminum cans can be put in a blue bin, paper in a red pin, plastic in a green bin, and glass in a yellow bin. "We provide an excellent recycling facility located on west campus in the Park and Ride lot where it is free for students to recycle just about any type of material," Dingus said. She also said that there are over 1,000 places to dispose of your recycling right on campus. All the locations are listed on the organization's website, http://www.recycleku.edu/bin_locations/buildings.shtml Simply go to the website, select the building of your choice, and it will direct you to the spot where you can recycle the materials you have. "We try to make it as convenient as possible." "Students can recycle according to which building they have classes in," Dingus said. Nick Benson, the Crew Leader of the Environs Club, said that another easy way to start is just by reducing what you use in small ways. Environs is a KU student organization that promotes environmental awareness and encourages sound environmental practices within the university and in the community of Lawrence. "Take your own water bottle instead of buying bottled water, cut down on drinking soda, or bring your own shopping bag to the grocery store." Benson said. "It is as simple as using a butter container as Tupperware." Benson also suggests making a weekly recycling plan with your roommates. He said to designate one person each week to drop off the recycling on campus, at the Park and Ride facility, or even at Wal-Mart when you do your grocery shopping. Aside from recycling, almost anything you find at home is reusable. Sydney Piles, a sophomore from Lawrence, said that she grew up recycling and feels guilty if she throws away a can or water bottle that can be used again. "Iused an old tomato soup can as a pencil holder instead of buying one," Piles said. "Reusing items around your house not only contributes to a cleaner environment but it also saves money." Dingus said that almost anything can be reused. She recommends the book Tin Can by Bobby Hanson, which is full of cool designs, and useful objects that can be created using recyclable items. "We divert over 42,000 pounds of material from the waste stream every two weeks. That's equivalent to 82 elephants of waste per year that we keep out of the ocean, landfills, and the water supply that you drink." Dingus said. Think twice next time you are about to throw away a can or bottle because chances are there's a recycling bin less than a few feet away. Each item you recycle counts. "Keeping the environment clean is a lot easier than students think," Benson said. Edited by Katie James Want to Live Like a Rockstar?

Subleasing is another popular option. This is when a student with a leasing contract finds someone else to stay at their apartment in place of him or herself. This is especially popular for temporary residence and ever-changing situations said Sally Burns, the founder of TheHousingHawk.com, a website where university students can post and find apartment listings. "Subleasing is popular for college students because students change their minds and their plans, frequently," Burns said. "From studying abroad to changing schools, the life of a student is never really set in stone. So, subleasing or finding someone to sublease an apartment is sometimes a necessity for a change in plans or pursuit of new opportunities." This was the case for Morgan Merritt, a sophomore from Palm Springs, Calif., who already had a lease, but couldn't move in right away. "I needed a place for a couple of months for the summer since I am renting a house in August," Merritt said. The first step for subleasing is finding a match between a student looking for an apartments and a student with an apartment to sublease. "Generally, I would say it is much easier to find an apartment to sublet than to sublet your own," Burns said. "At KU specifically, the demand for a student to sublet an apartment is much higher than the supply of people looking to sublease." Burns also said usually when people decide to sublet their apartment it is a quick decision, with very little preparation. "This makes it a lot more stressful for the person trying to leave their apartment when they are on a deadline to find someone to take over their lease ASAP." Burns said. While it can be difficult to find the right match, sometimes the opportunity just presents itself. "It came up in conversation with my friend," Merritt said. "She was talking about how she needed someone to sublease to and I was talking about how I needed a place to live." A similar opportunity presented itself to Francisco Ramos, a sophomore from Overland Park. "Really it was of necessity for my cousin, Ramos said. "He got an internship for college credit for the semester and his dad, who is paying for the room, wanted to make sure he wasn't paying rent for no reason and also that there wasn't a stranger living in his son's room." For those students who need help finding that match, there are many resources available like the Housing Hawk, Craigslist, and talking to friends or classmates. "Also, if you are living in an apartment complex, talk to the management," Burns said. "They will usually have a sublease waiting list. That way, if people call your apartment looking for a place to live, the management can offer up your unit first." After students make the agreement to sublease, there are formalities and paperwork carry out. "In order to sublet your apartment, you will need to transfer the lease agreement from your name, to the person moving in," Burns said. "In some cases, this will include a sublease fee." Burns said it is better to have to pay a fee than have your name on a lease agreement if you are not living there. Without this transfer, you would still be legally, and financially, responsible for the apartment. If there are any questions about the legal process, there are people to talk to, including KU Legal Services, which is located in room 312 in Burge Union. After that, there is nothing left to do but move in and treat the apartment like any other apartment. "I live here just like I would in my own apartment," Ramos said. "I clean after myself. I cook for myself. I take care of everything as best I can."

"I discovered the mold a couple of weeks after I moved in," Rossville senior Patrick Salsbury said. "I called the maintenance people and of course management a few times and they never really permanently took care of it at all. They just sprayed some toilet bowl cleaner on it and tried to brush it off." Excessive mold can cause symptoms very similar to a cold in people with a mold allergy, according to board certified asthma and allergy specialist Dr. Ronald Weiner. He said an allergic reaction to mold would be nasal symptoms, including itchy, running, congested, post nasal drainage and sinus congestion. The lower respiratory symptom is basically asthma, and that would be coughing, mucous in the chest, shortness of breath and wheezing. Salsbury lived with his symptoms because he could not afford to violate the terms of his lease. "I started coughing a little bit; it felt like a head cold. I lived with the mold for a year, then I moved out of that place," he said. Mold remediation specialist and owner of All-Pro Services Rodney Eisenbarger recommends tenants and homeowners immediately repair leaky faucets and pipes to "I started coughing a little bit; it felt like a head cold. I lived with the mold for a year, then I moved out of that place." Patrick Salsbury Roseville, senior prevent and contain mold. "If people have water damage and they don't take care of the water damage correctly, any building material, save wood, with over 15 percent moisture content will support mold growth," he said. "The key is to make sure everything is dry." If mold is already present, bleach or commercial products, such as Lysol and Clorox, can be used to kill the spores. Mold can also be caused by circumstances beyond a tenant's control, such as holes in the roof or damaged pipes. If a landlord refuses to fix the problem, apartment tenants have limited options, because the EPA and the city of Lawrence currently have no regulations on mold. A renter may choose to purchase mold testing kits, which can run from $30 to $200 or hire professionals, which can run over $200 and possibly up to thousands of dollars to have the mold tested in a lab, and do not guarantee the owner's liability. "We have calls where tenants are in bad environments and they can't get their landlord to do anything." Eisenbarger said. "We recommend they call the health department or the city. Quite frankly, the best thing they can do is have testing done out of pocket to have proof that there are issues in the home." Salsbury's mold problem was never fixed, but he recommends that students living in offcampus apartments keep calling management if they encounter any health hazards. "Stay on top of the management. I know you can make a request but if they don't actually do anything about it, keep bugging them," he said. "The best way to get someone's attention is to get on their case and keep on them until they actually do the job." - Edited by Amanda Gage SIGNS OF A MOLD ALLERGY — Sneezing Runny or stuffy nose Cough and postnasal drip — Itchy eyes, nose and throat Watery eyes — If you have asthma you may experience tightness of chest Contact a doctor if symptoms don't go away Source mayoclinic.com WILLIAMS POINTE & LEANNA MAR 3&4 bedroom townhomes SMART HAWKS LIVE HERE! 42" OR LARGER HDTV IN EVERY UNIT sign a lease and YOU can win... and not to mention- Win This Car @ LeannaMar -as low as $275 per person -free covered parking -free cable & internet -washer & dryer in each unit -pool & hot tub -workout facility TV'S,home theater systems. cash, EVEN A CAR!

Advocates have been optimistic about the trend and the possible reduction of prejudice, but Egan explored several problems with the hypothesis and its conclusion. Data gathered in polls and studies does not fully examine the factors that might make a person more likely to have a relationship with a gay person, which can produce biased data.

Expectations for hosts, houseguests LELIY GRIMM egrimm@kansan.com People who have ever hosted houseguests know that there's a checklist of sorts that they must go through before the company arrives and, there are rules to be put down when the guests do arrive. For Chelsea Gallagher, a junior from Rolla, her checklist's high point is making sure her place is presentable. "I have to make sure that the house is spotless because I want everyone to be safe and comfortable and have a good time," she said. The rules Gallagher sets down for her guests are pretty basic as well as implied, she said. "Basically, just don't go into my room unless my door is open, stuff like that," she said. "Other than that, what's mine is yours. If I invite you over it's your home too." Courtney Chaffins, a junior from Woodstock Ill., said her checklist is pretty straightforward as well. "I make sure everything gets cleaned up, like the living room and the bathroom," she said. "I also get some snacks. Like if we're going to be watching a movie, I'll go to the store and get popcorn or stuff like that." Chaffins said that she and her roommate have a few special rules if one of them will be gone. "We make sure to let the other one know if someone will be coming over and to keep the place clean," she said. "But usually, we don't have any problems keeping stuff clean and organized." Keeping the place clean helped Chaffins and her roommate keep a comfortable and happy relationship. "We keep it pretty chill most of the time," she said. For Christopher Hull, a junior from Rolla, his checklist is much like Gallagher's and Chaffin's. He goes through the apartment and cleans everything. "You want to be at your best when you have guests over." Hull said. tre also said his rules for houseguests are pretty standard. "Basically, behave like you would at home: Respect our stuff and try not to make a mess out of everything," he said. Hull and his roommate make sure the other knows the situation, even if one of them is going to be gone. we each know what to expect then," he said. Students also have their own rules to be put down about when they do arrive, mainly involving respecting the premises of the get-together. "Always be courteous, especially with bigger parties," Gallagher said. -Edited by Taylor Lewis --- CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN The last time that Tyshawn Taylor will ever play a game on the hardwood of Allen Fieldhouse happened on Saturday against the Texas Longhorns.

This early inspection lets the tenant know what the condition of the apartment should look like. vpitcher@kansan.com Remember that large sum of money you paid along with your rent before you moved in and you weren't really sure what it was for? That money, or deposit, was basically insurance against any damages that you may cause. Despite the common misconception that landlords want to keep your deposit for themselves, writing you up for every possible thing at checkout, Burt Wickersham, the general manager at Meadowbrook Apartments, actually likes giving back deposits. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN "It's easier for everybody." Wickersham said. "I'd much prefer to give everybody back all of their security deposit." So what does it take to get that money back? According to resident manager Liza Pehrson students should, at the very least, clean the apartment and remove all possessions. Pehrson said students should make sure the apartment is as close to the same as when you moved in. It takes more than just a quick clean, though, to ensure getting your deposit back. "We left the place in a nicer condition than when we found it, and we still got charged," Phillip said. Grace Phillip, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., was disappointed when she didn't get her entire deposit back. Phillip lived in a house on Indiana Street with three roommates. Phillip said they cleaned the house up and down before moving out. Wickersham suggests students start the process as early as a month before moving out. This process includes cleaning, shampooing the carpets, replacing light bulbs and patching any holes in the walls. Some requirements are lease-specific such as changing drip pans on the stove, something Meadowbrook apartments ask of their tenants. It's important that students find out exactly what is expected of them. Phillip and her roommate were charged for carpet cleaning and light bulbs. According to Wickersham, carpet is the most expensive thing to replace, and light bulbs become costly when they have to pay for someone to install them. If requested early enough, Wickersham said landlords may be able to do a walk-through with tenants. They can point out the kinds of things they will be inspecting when you move out. Students should also ask for a checklist and compare the current condition of the apartment to that list. Cory Archer, a senior from Garnett, catalogs everything in the apartment by taking pictures both before and after. He said students should even take them during a walkthrough. Communication is the most important piece of advice. Pehrson said students should not be afraid to go to their landlord to find out exactly what to do to get their deposit back. you took them," Archer said. take pictures and let your landlord know "If you have a question about what to do or about specific things, go ask," Pehrson said.

"By every indication, that should be a pretty powerful predictor and changer of attitudes." Research also shows that in the time between freshman and senior year, students generally become more tolerant of gays and lesbians, Egan said. Jake Longraker, a graduate student in political science from DeSoto, said Egan's research was very current and showed the dramatic attitude shifts regarding gays and lesbians. It's a topic that he explores in his own research of LGBT communities in Latin America. Patrick J. Egan, Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Policy at New York University, delivers a lecture called, "Frontiers in Research on Attitudes Among and About Gay People," at Watson Library Tuesday afternoon. The lecture was part of the Clifford P. Ketzel Speaker Series for the Expression of Minority Opinions. "Knowing what the attitudes are of people, and how you can improve the situation so that you can make those positive changes and you can make changes in laws, is important," Longraker said. Donald Haider-Markel, chair of the Political Science department, said Egan's presentation was part of a lecture series featuring controversial speakers. Egan's presentation was controversial not only because it discussed gays and lesbians, but also because it challenged the common understanding of how the contact hypothesis applies to the LGBT community. Although the lecture series hasn't been going on in recent years, he hopes to make it an annual event. — Edited by Christine Curtin public broadcasting network.

Hefley, a sophomore from Wichita, studied music at New York University before deciding to return to the University to try something different. "That was me trying to run away from it, but really, I knew I belonged behind a desk programming," Hefley said. Hefley has already designed his first game, one that's a basic Pong style, on the Motorola Xoom tablet that he received last fall from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Last fall, alumnus Brian McClendon, the vice president of Google Maps and Google Earth, donated $50,000 to the department to provide students with Android tablets. Google announced in February that the company would donate another $50,000 for the same purpose next fall. Electrical Engineering and Computer Science professor Bo Luo said that Android programming is becoming more important and that using Android tablets allows teachers to show students how Java, the programming language used in Android, works firsthand. "It's something we can use to show students what cool things they can do," he said. Luo said when students enter the job market in a few years, the capability to work with Android programming would give them a significant advantage. "If you look at the market share, Android is taking more from Apple," Luo said. "That will make our graduates very popular." He said one of the most popular lab classes is one where students use programming code to make bubbles appear on the tablet's screen. Hefley said that was the lab where he got the idea for his Pong game. He said he decided to modify the original code to change the bubbles' behavior. "I wanted to see if I could tell the circle where to go instead of just popping up." Hefley said. Hefley said his first attempt at changing the code looked like the Windows screensaver with the ball bouncing from edge to edge. Next, he decided to deduct points every time the ball hit an edge. He used code to build one bar that the player could control with the up and down arrows and another computer-guided bar. Hefley said he learned some of the game's coding in class, but for other parts, he simply changed the coding until it performed the function he wanted. "Video gaming is what I do in my spare time, so it's inevitable that's what I'd program." Now that Hefley is in a second-level programming class, the focus has shifted from Java to C++, another popular coding language for video games and other software. Hefley said the shift has been a problem for him because the class is based on C++ — the language that was originally taught in the previous class — not lava. Luo said the conversion from C++ to lava has been a challenge for the department, but students are expected to learn both languages by the time that they graduate. "Most of programming is just fiddling with what's already there," he said. Hefley said he also considered uploading the game to the Android Market but decided not to because of a few bugs he hasn't been able to fix. BLAKE HEFLEY Sophomore computer science student Luo said the department would meet to discuss what changes they should make to follow-up courses. Hefley said that even though there are more job opportunities in software and security programming, he plans on sticking with video game programming. He and a friend have been talking about creating a story-based game, like Zelda, but they haven't started vet. "Video gaming is what I do in my spare time, so it's inevitable that's what I'd program," Hefley said. After graduating, Hefley wants to go move to Japan and work for a major game maker like Square Enix, the makers of the popular Final Fantasy series. — Edited by Taylor Lewis HISTORY brake Hefley, a sophomore from Wichita, poses with his Android Tablet that he designed a basic game for. Hefley, a computer science major, says that after he graduates he will probably work for a company as a video game designer. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN CAMPUS act with gay people teristics oierance; Professor lectures on sexual identities KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com The more exposure a person has to gays and lesbians, the more positive their views become about gays and lesbians. Political science has supported that idea for a decade, but that claim might be misleading, according to Patrick Egan, professor of political science at New York University, who spoke at Watson Library yesterday afternoon. Patrick J. Egan, Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Policy at New York University, delivers a lecture called, "Frontiers in Research on Attitudes Among and About Gay People," at Watson Library Tuesday afternoon. The lecture was part of the Clifford P. Ketzel Speaker Series for the Expression of Minority Opinions. Egan explained that the contact hypothesis, which has been used to examine the relationships between members of different racial or ethnic groups, suggests that having a friend, co-worker or family member who is gay positively affects a person's views about people who are gay. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Advocates have been optimistic about the trend and the possible reduction of prejudice, but Egan explored several problems with the hypothesis and its conclusion. Data gathered in polls and studies does not fully examine the factors that might make a person more likely to have a relationship with a gay person, which can produce biased data. But the biggest problem is disclosure. Most research on the contact hypothesis doesn't consider whether or not the gay friend, co-worker or family member actually said they were gay or if it was assumed. Egan pointed out that straight people can fairly accurately determine the sexual orientation of a person by looking at how they conform to gender norms, like speech patterns or movement. Assuming a person is gay when they haven't confirmed it has the potential to actually create a negative feeling toward gays and lesbians because it can seem like they are ashamed of their sexual orientation. It can also perpetuate negative stereotypes. "The thing that I think is important to take away from this is whether or not we think they exist, these stereotypes certainly exist in the world," Egan said. Jake Longraker, a graduate student in political science from DeSoto, said Egan's research was very current and showed the dramatic attitude shifts regarding gays and lesbians. It's a topic that he explores in his own research of LGBT communities in Latin America. "My guess is that when students first come to college, it's often the first time they encounter a gay or lesbian person who acknowledges their identity," Egan said.

The student, Sandra Fluke, said Limbaugh's apology did nothing to change the corrosive tone of the debate over health care coverage and that Americans have to decide whether they want to support companies that continue to advertise on his program. AOL on Monday became the eighth advertiser to leave Limbaugh's three-hour show as he sought to stem the exodus of advertisers and fellow conservatives declined to offer him support. "I should not have used the language I did, and it was wrong," a rarely contrite Limbaugh told listeners. Fluke, who testified to congressional Democrats in support of their national health care policy that would compel her Jesuit college's health plan to cover her birth control, said she had not heard from Limbaugh directly but signaled she had little interest in speaking with him. Fluke had been invited to testify to a House committee about her school's health care plan, which does not include contraception. Republican lawmakers barred her from testifying during that hearing, but Democrats invited her back and she spoke to the Democratic lawmakers at an unofficial session. The issue has been much debated in the presidential race, with Republican candidates particularly criticizing President Barack Obama's requirements on such employers as Catholic hospitals. Democrats — and many Republican leaders, too — have suggested the issue could energize women to vote for Obama and other Democrats in November. Sen. John McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee, told CBS News on Monday that Limbaugh's statements were unacceptable "in every way" and "should be condemned" by people across the political spectrum. Even so, eight companies now have stopped advertising on Limbaugh's program on Clear Channel's Premiere Radio, Networks Inc. The parent company is supporting Limbaugh, whose on-air contract with Premiere runs through 2016. Don's Auto Center HELPING KANSAS STUDENTS MAKE IT TO SPRING BREAK SINCE 1972 NO WORRIES!

ASSOCIATED PRESS Kabir Ahmad, chief of Bagram district of Parwan on foot blew himself up close to a vehicle in a small NATO convey near Bagram Air Field, where U.S. forces burned Qurans and Islamic texts on Feb. 20. The burnings, which the U.S. said were an unintentional mistake, triggered six days of violence that left nearly 40 people dead — including six U.S. soldiers killed by Afghan security forces in apparent retaliation. Afghan policemen collect body parts after a bombing. One person was killed and 11 were wounded in the attack. PORTRIES NATO said that according to initial reports, an explosion occurred outside of Bagram air base in eastern Afghanistan today. Capt. Justin Brockhoff, a spokesman, said there were no reports of NATO fatalities, and the base was not breached by the explosion. "Coalition officials are gathering details at this time, and more information may be released as appropriate," he said. Taliban spokesman Zabiulah Mujahid claimed responsibility, saying it was revenge for the recent burning of Qurans at the base. The Taliban have been seeking to exploit the burnings and are increasingly citing them to justify their attacks. Qurans were among books burned because they were said to contain messages from militants. Workers in Japan try different techniques to clean up radiation-contaminated communities ASIA FUKUSHIMA, Japan — Workers in rubber boots chip at the frozen ground, scraping until they've removed the top 2 inches (5 centimeters) of radioactive soil from the yard of a single home. Total amount of waste gathered: roughly 60 tons. One down, tens of thousands to go. And since wind and rain spread radiation easily, even this yard may need to be dug up again. The work is part of a monumental task: a costly and uncertain effort by Japan to try to make radiation-contaminated communities inhabitable again. Some contractors are experimenting with chemicals; others stick with shovels and high-pressure water. One government expert says it's mostly trial and error. The radiation leak has slowed considerably at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear plant, nearly one year Experts leading the government-funded project cannot guarantee success. They say there's no prior model for what they're trying to do. Even if they succeed, they're creating another problem they don't yet know how to solve: where to dump all the radioactive soil and debris they haul away. after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami sent three of its reactors into meltdown. Work continues toward a permanent shutdown, but the Japanese government declared the plant stable in December, setting the stage for the next phase: decontaminating the area so that at least some of the 100,000 evacuated residents can return. The government has budgeted $14 billion through March 2014 for the cleanup, which could take decades. ASSOCIATED PRESS A worker in Japan washes a door.

SOUTH AMERICA Politicians point their fingers after shooting outside political rally CARACAS, Venezuela Gunshots were fired during an event where the leading opponent 64 President Hugo Chavez was visiting a traditionally pro-government neighborhood, wounding at least one person and prompting both political camps on Monday to trade blame for the violence. A group of government supporters clashed with backers of opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles as he visited the Cotiza neighborhood of Caracas. Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami said that the authorities are investigating Sunday's violence, in which the son of opposition lawmaker Ismael Garcia was lightly injured. In messages on his Twitter account, Caprires accused government supporters of starting the violence. Garcia said his son, who is also named Ismael, was wounded in an arm. "The government can't say it isn't responsible for this," Garcia said by phone. He said government supporters from outside the area had come to cause problems, and that Capriles was well-received by many people in the area before the shots ranged out. El Aissami accused the opposition of provoking the violence. "They went to generate this show." El Aisami said on state television, according to the state-run Venezuelan News Agency. He said there was no evidence to back Garcia's claim that backers of Chavez's socialist party had opened fire, and he encouraged Garcia to present any evidence to prosecutors. A prosecutor was appointed to investigate along with the police. CRIME Recent increase in car burglaries on campus KU Public Safety reported three car burglaries on campus involving broken windows over the weekend. Captain Schuyler Bailey of University Office of Public Safety, said in an email two cars belonged to University students and the third belong to a campus visitor. He said it is uncertain whether the burglaries are related at this time, but there has been an increase in the number of car thefts this semester. Two thefts occurred between Friday night and Saturday morning, according to reports from the Office of Public Safety. In the first, $250 in CDs and gift cards were stolen from a locked car after breaking one of the car's windows. In the second, a GPS, iPod and sunglasses were stolen from a locked car in lot 112,' just north of Oliver Hall. A third burglary occurred Saturday night in lot 8 on Sunnyside Ave. The vehicle's car windows were smashed and $1,700 worth of items were reported stolen. The three thefts totaled $2,187 in property loss and $600 in damage. Bailey said KU Public safety is concerned about the upsurge in car burglaries, but officers will increase patrols of parking lots. He said camera monitors will also focus attention parking lot areas. The KU Public Safety tip hotline is 785-864-8888. — Luke Ranker "The number one deterent to auto burglaries is not leaving anything of value where it's visible," Bailey said. He said students should call police if they see anyone in parking lots acting suspiciously. FINANCE Student senate will discuss student fees on Wednesday Students are not expected to see much of a difference in student fees this fall, but the Student Senate finance committee will discuss fee allocations during its annual student fee review this Wednesday. The meeting is at 6 p.m. at the Alderson room of the Student Union. However, any changes to student fees for fall will not be finalized until the full Senate meeting on March 14. According to Josh Dean, the finance committee chair, there shouldn't be any major changes in fees from this year to next. However, fees may adjust to cover inflation or plans to add a social worker in Counseling and Psychological Services and an extra Safe Bus route to southwest Lawrence may affect fees for students next year. During the past five years, total student fees have risen 13 percent from $377.75 in fiscal year 2008 to this year's fee of $428.95.

Lennon's house in south Liverpool and McCartney's nearby row home will be granted a grade 2 listing, which means they cannot be altered without the permission of local officials, said Britain's Heritage Minister John Penrose. The decision means the homes of one of Britain's greatest songwriting teams will be protected for generations to come. Their work has long been associated with the northern port city Liverpool, particularly because of songs like "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" that celebrated their childhood haunts. McCartney lived in nearby Forthlin Road for nine years from 1955. The two musicians held early practice sessions for their first band The Quarrymen while living at these houses, and wrote The Beatles first number one hit, the raucous "Please Please Me," at Lennon's home. Lennon lived at a comfortable 1930s duplex house called "Mendips" in 251 Menlope Ave. from 1945 to 1963 with his aunt and uncle after his parents separated when he was five. Preservation group The National Trust has already restored the houses to look as they would have done when Lennon and McCartney were growing up. In a statement Wednesday, Lenon's widow Yoko Ono said: "Mendips always meant a great deal to John and it was where his childhood dreams came true for himself and for the world."

EDITORIAL Get ready to vote for future elections A lot has happened in the three years that Barack Obama has been President. There's been unrest in the Middle East with the Arab Spring, in politics with a number of controversial topics and in movements such as the Occupy protests along with an economy that is still less than stellar. With so many issues, it's important that students exercise their right to vote. In the past three elections, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of 18 to 24-year-olds who voted has increased, but there's still room for improvement. With the 2012 election approaching, there's still time to register, learn about the candidates and, in November, vote. REGISTER TO VOTE: Kansas's registration process includes providing some personal information to the government via the internet or paper form. For the internet process you will need a Kansas driver's license and an alternate form of identification. The paper form will require your driver's license. BE INFORMED Once you've made the decision to vote, it's time to decide who to vote for. This is the most difficult stage. Start by thinking about your stances on issues. Are you pro-life or pro-choice? How do you feel about health care? What about education? And how about immigration, taxes or foreign policy? Then examine the views of the candidates. What do they plan to do about the issues you care about? In presidential elections a lot of information is available. Dissect this information carefully. Find out if your source is credible and what biases it might have. Then form your opinion. Do the candidate's views align with yours? Races that are less publicized, like the county judges, names may be posted online through the county's election office, but if they aren't, contacting the elections office can give you more information. Use that resource as a way to find out what offices you'll be voting for and who'll be running for those positions. As things develop in the race, your views on people may change, and you can adapt with that. Remember that your final decision should be for a candidate you feel would be the best person for the job. In the 2008 presidential election 66 percent of voters in between the ages of 18 and 24 voted for President Obama according to a poll by NBC News. Whether young people were essential to President Obama's win has been debated, but either way it puts the young voice out there. That voice has been growing overall in the past eight elections with dips occurring during elections with an incumbent President. This year falls into that category, but letting the number of college-aged voters fall would decrease the influence students have on government. Right now the debt, Social Security, and the price of education are on the government's agenda. Decisions on these issues would affect students and thus students should vote in order to affect the outcomes. VOTE: After you've decided who you'd like to win the election there's one final step: vote. After you register, you'll be given a polling location. On Election Day, go to that location. Bring your driver's license. The people in-charge at the location will check your ID and find you on a list of registered voters who can vote at that location. You'll be shown where to cast your ballet and how. With approximately eight months left, there's still time for you to register, learn the truth about the candidates and make your voice heard on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Office of the Kansas Secretary of State True art is outlet to express individual opinions Artist who wanted to slaughter chickens in city was making art through an unusual medium Art" deals in making statements. Ranging from the Local artist Amber Hansen's recent art project, "The Story of Chickens: A Revolution," has received a lot of condemnation lately from local and national profound to the repetitive, art projects exist because they are created as expressive points of view. chickens were to be slaughtered in front of the public and fed as part of a potluck. It was meant to be a project examining our personal relationships (or lack outlets. The project entailed displaying a chicken coop housing five chickens at various locations in the downtown Lawrence area. "To say that Hansen's project is not art is to say that Monet paintings and Michelangelo sculptures are not art, or that musical arrangements and theater performances are not art." The public were to be encouraged to interact and observe the chickens in order to develop a personal relationship with them. Near the end of the month, the thereof) with the food we eat on a daily basis. But now it appears this project will not happen in its original form, since city officials have told Hansen she cannot slaughter. ter the chickens within city limits. She has explained on her blog since that there will be an empty coop occupying the downtown area, and for the potluck, she will bring in speakers that will speak about caring for chickens as food we eventually eat. No chickens will be slaughtered. By Brett Salsbury bsalsbury@kansan.com Luckily for Hansen, it is clear that she has achieved her goals. From the outset, the mere mention of the fact that she received a grant for this project and the easy access to her project plan from the Internet has led to a very passionate, widespread response, and not just from local animal activists. People are talking about the exact issues she meant to bring up into the public forum. I take issue with any outcry that the project was inartic to or unintellectual. Clearly, our culture's perception of what art projects are is a bit slanted. Art is not just paintings and sculpture; art can be anything we envision it to be, whether symbolic, functional, multi-layered, simplistic, mult-media, or otherwise. Obviously, from Hansen's project, specific questions of the implications of certain art projects are put in question (how can publicly slaughtering chickens be art?). But in the end, there is no difference between slaughtering chickens publicly and slaughtering them privately. Almost every artistic movement from history (especially from the 20th century and on) has been met with skepticism or anger from the public since it had no real precedence and may have seemed audacious. To say that Hansen's project is not art is to say that Monet paintings and Michelangelo sculptures are not art, or that musical arrangements and theater performances are not art. Art gives individuals an outlet to say something worthwhile; it is not just something pretty to look at. The beauty of art is that not only can it be translated across very diverse media, but it can also be used to express points of view that may not be as easily expressed in every-day conversation and discourse. Art is the outlet so many search for to make their voices heard. To discount its influence and legitimacy just because of its implications is an insult to our culture that was built on free individual expression. Salsbury is a senior in English and history of art from Chapman. LITERATURE Fill your spring time with lively poetry Celebrate spring by appreciat ing life through poetry "O sweet Fancyl let her loose; Summer's joys are spoilt by use, And the enjoying of the Spring Fades as does its blossoming" - John Keats "Fancy" Once again, by some fortunate whim of nature, our corner of the world enters that miraculous changing of the weather guard. The days are now perceivably lighter than fluorescent bulbs and the wind bears that sweet scent not unlike Jaeger. Soon, we will no longer have a shadow of an excuse to wear our stylish overcoats or sport our treasured Uggs. Sadly, far too many people will squander their spring constantly checking out what their Facebook friends are up to. Others will rot in the bowels As students, nothing is more important than social networks and schoolwork. However, this vernal respite is too much of a treasure to humanity to spend mindlessly listening to Ke$ha in a drunken stupor; we have the winter for that. I don't know what the English department would say, but I've always felt that poetry is the most pure form of speech, for good poetry is always the essence of speech. Poetry is the ideal of communication whereas prose, and the majority of our interactions, is the imitation. But then again, I was brainwashed by Bill Shakespeare at an impressionable age. of KU's many state-of-the-art libraries. What's the best way to celebrate this gaiety of renaissance? Other than splashing in mud puddles, rolling down the hill, and otherwise regressing into that most salubrious of times, childhood, I recommend poetry. By Daniel Obermeier dobermeier@kansan.com Poetry, when mixed with a beautiful day, is one of the most intoxicating concoctions known to man. If you don't read, shame on you, but if you want to read, here are a few of my favorite spring laureates. Nothing quite describes the life and aesthetic exuberance of spring like the sprung rhyme of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Hopkins' poetry is charged with energetic descriptions ("The Starlight Night," "Strike; churl; hurt") and unites transcendental heaven to a well-beloved Earth ("Pied Beauty," "God's Gran-deur"). I can say that my most satisfying springs are the ones I For those playful days, "when the world is mud-/ luscious... and puddle-wonderful," I can recommend no better than E.E. Cummings — a caveat-temperto to all pedants. If incorrect syntax will result in increased blood pressure, Noam Chomsky's waiting at your home. Perhaps you're trying to seduce someone. Is she highbrow? Shakespeare's sonnets will do you a world of good, as would memorizing key-passages in "The Tempest," and "Romeo and Juliet." Although one should avoid making pledges of undying love on the first date as this will result in immediate repulsion or (horror of horrors) reciprocation. A smattering of Keats will not only impress your friends, but let your fancy take flight! I can recommend virtually all of his poems to enhance your springtime. William Wordsworth is well There is no better time to celebrate life than when everything is celebrating with you. Life has unlimited opportunities for joy, you just have to be willing to appreciate it. Or Robert Browning: worth a recitation or two. Your heart will leap up and fill with pleasure if you look at clouds and daffodils with his words in mind. "The year's at the spring, And day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hill-side's dew-pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in His heaven— All's right with the world!" Obermeier is a junior in history from Olathe. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR spend with him. LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to kananopedes@gmail.com.

PAGE G TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2012 SWIMMING AND DIVING THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Two Jayhawks qualify for Olympic Trials this summer ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com On the first day of the Big 12 Championships two weeks ago, junior swimmer Brooke Brull approached coach Clark Campbell with an idea. She wanted to compete in the Region 8 Sectional Championships to try and qualify for the US Olympic Trials this summer. She was nervous about how he would react, since she was thinking about a meet weeks down the road, but Campbell was all for it. With Campbell's support, Brull made the trip to Jenks, Okla., this past weekend and achieved her goal. She qualified for Olympic Trials (June 25 - July 2) in both the 200-meter individual medley (IM) and the 200-meter backstroke. Sectionals provided a rare opportunity to post qualifying times for Olympic Trials because it is raced in long-course meters. The team trains in short-course yards throughout the season. The next opportunity would have been two months away. "I didn't want to wait. I wanted to get it off my chest," Brull said. "Since it's been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, this was my main accomplishment not only in swimming but in life." Her first-place, career-best time of 2:19.00 in the finals of the 200-meter IM earned her the title of Region 8 Central Sectional Champion for USA Swimming in the event. Brull became the third Kansas swimmer to qualify for the trials, joining senior Stephanie Payne and current volunteer assistant coach and former KU swimmer Danielle Herrmann. The three now share the opportunity to compete in the biggest, most intense swim meet in the country — an event Campbell called "the best pure swimming meet in the world." The event will feature more than one thousand of the country's top swimmers competing in Omaha, Neb., for 52 spots on the US Olympic team that will compete in London's Summer Games. Even though making the team is a long shot, Brull knows the event will be an amazing learning experience. "I get to compete and learn from and watch Olympians and see how they do their thing." Brull said. "And I'll see how I react with all this pressure." Payne earned a spot at the trials in the 200-meter butterfly and the 400-meter IM during the 2011 summer swimming season. She hopes to qualify in the 200-meter IM in April. She said that for most swimmers, the event is the biggest meet of their lives, and she simply wants to enjoy every moment of what might be the final meet of her career. "I'm just trying to have fun and celebrate my swimming career," Payne said. "Not many people can say, I've been to the Olympic Trials.' I just want to take it all in." Herrmann earned her trial cut in the 100-meter breaststroke during Sectionals a year ago. The trials are more than three months away, but when the time comes, Campbell wants to see his swimmers compete at their highest individual level and not worry about anything else. He said no matter what, it's important they prepare as if they are going to make the team. Campbell is hopeful that more Kansas swimmers qualify for Olympic Trials when they compete in the Jimi Flowers Classic in Aubrun, Ala., in late April. "I want to see them go in with the attitude that I'm going to be best athlete I can be on my days of racing," Campbell said. "That I'm going to get in there and make a lifetime-best time and leave it all in the pool." Edited by Max Lush WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Big 12 names Knight 'Freshman of the Week' KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Freshman guard Natalie Knight adjusted to college basketball quickly, but would still only make one or two aggressive plays a game. When junior forward Carolyn Davis was injured, coach Bonnie Henrickson turned to her young guard for more production. She figured if Knight could make two, why not four big plays? Turns out, she could. Freshman guard Natalie Knight attempts a shot against Oklahoma Stae during the second half of the game. Kansas lost 63-66. Knight recorded a career-high 18 points to go with seven rebounds and three assists in the victory against Oklahoma on Sunday. She went four-for-eight from the field including three-for-six from beyond the arc. Knight was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week by a media panel for her performances this week. In a loss Wednesday night against Oklahoma State, Knight tallied five points, five assists and two rebounds. She was the first layhawk to win the award this season. "It felt really good just to be able to do what I've been asked to do," Knight said. With a six seed and first-round by in the Big 12 Tournament, Henrickson is looking again to Knight and this time she is asking for eight plays per game. Knight led the team to victory against Oklahoma in the final minutes after three starters fouled out. She also nailed seven of eight free throws — all coming in the final two minutes of the game. "She has always scored", senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "She is a great shooter. She has always been a great shooter. It is time for her to step up and be more aggressive and play. If they are going to back off of her she needs to score and that's what she did." Henrickson has been working with Knight on how she can better capitalize on her opportunities. Knight is shooting 43 percent from the field and 38 percent from three point range. Henrickson said the first step for Knight is to shoot more. In conference play, Knight has increased her production from the non-conference play. Her shot attempts increased from 53 to 90 while also increasing her accuracy from the field from 40 to 43 percent. She has shot nine more three pointers in conference play and made five more than in the non-conference portion. She also increased her shooting percentage from 36 to 41 from beyond the arc across 18 games. Behind Knight's big night and consistent performances from Sutherland and junior guard Angel Goodrich, the layhawks picked up a victory to end the regular season and give them some momentum moving into the Big 12 Tournament. Every Jayhawk who played in the victory scored and Henrickson said that means a lot for the team right now. "I think the best part of it is every kid played and every kid contributed," Henrickson said. "That is kind of who we have turned into." Knight, junior guard Monica Engelman, sophomore forward Tania Jackson and freshman guard Asia Boyd all knocked down free throws in the final two minutes to finish the game 14 of 14 from the line. "It felt good to put together all of the pieces to pull it out," Knight said. Kansas will prepare over the next couple days before heading to Kansas City for a 7:30 p.m. matchup with defending national champion Texas A&M in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament.

Roy Williams, KU Coach 1989-2003, on Allen Fieldhouse. JCOnline.com PAGE 7 FACT OF THE DAY --- Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden helped build Memorial Stadium. - Collegegridirons.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q. What is the longest consecutive home winning streak for the Jayhawks in Memorial Stadium? A: 13, stretching from the 2006-08 season. kuathletics.com THE MORNING BREW Renovations could bring spirit to field By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com There are many reasons why Allen Fieldhouse is considered one of the greatest college basketball venues in the country, but the most important reason is the fans. What separates it from other modern facilities is the fact that 16,300 fans are packed right next to the court, allowing them to generate noise as loud as a jet engine. The same intimacy fans have at the Fieldhouse doesn't translate to Memorial Stadium, though, where an Olympic-quality track separates the fans from the action. That separation not only distances the fans, but it makes it easier for opponents to concentrate since the sound easily escapes the stadium. But good news is on the horizon: Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger said he has plans to remove the track from the stadium. Part of the lack of enthusiasm in the stadium can be attributed to the lack of success that the Jayhawks have had on the gridiron in recent years. Even though Memorial stadium has produced NFL greats such as Gale Sayers and John Riggins, the football tradition doesn't match that of one of the most storied schools in college basketball history. With the hiring of Charlie Weis, the students, fans and boosters are excited for the first time since Mark Mangino took the school to back-to-back bowl games, including the Jayhawks first BCS game victory. Zenger and the Athletic De- Zenger and the Attep parment has yet to release plans regarding the removal of the track. Since the Gridiron Club renovation plans fell through, though, some may view this with skepticism. Zenger would have to work around the problem that this move could relocate the historic Kansas relays, an event that been at Kansas in 1923. But now is the time to put the plan into action. With the current shuffling of football powers looking complete for the next few years, Kansas needs to make a power play to keep itself in the running to stay in a BCS conference when the next set of realignment hits. Getting a big name such as Weis to come was a good first step; improving the game day atmosphere in Memorial Stadium is next. But while Zenger can remove the track and put the fans right next to the action, he can't do it all by himself. It's up to the fans to show up and intimidate the opposing team with their loud, unparalleled spirit.

"Kansas City is more of a KU and K-State town than a Missouri town," Self said in the Monday morning Big 12 coaches' teleconference. Comments like those from Self are what make this rivalry great. Both Kansas and Missouri go out of their way to bellittle the other. Self knew that claiming dominance over a city in Mizzou's own state would rub the Tigers' supporters the wrong way, and he said it anyway. According to the schools' alumni associations, Kansas and Kansas State have more than 100,000 total alumni in the Kansas City-area compared to Mizzou's 20,000. Self's statement is technically accurate, but it was a definite jab at a Mizzou's "commitment" to Kansas City. WELCOMED SURPRISE The geographic location of Kansas City is irrelevant as Mizzou's move to the Southeastern Conference makes the former ground zero of the Kansas-Missouri rivalry look like an afterthought. However, if we are to see one more game between the two historic foes, Saturday evening has to be the time, and the Sprint Center has to be the place. Almost. It would be almost too perfect. Almost Kansas City is the center of this rivalry as State Line Road literally separates future Jayhawks from future Tigers. In the 105 years of the basketball rivalry, Kansas and Missouri had met only twice with both schools ranked in the top 10; they matched that tally in 2012 alone. In its final year, the Border Showdown has never been better, and a rubber-match in Kansas City would just put it over the top. The Duke-North Carolina rivalry may get the most national publicity, but this year was the year of Kansas-Missouri. It might be because the rivalry is ending, but this season, the entire country was exposed to the Border Showdown like never before. Both games were showcased on a national stage, and neither disappointed. In fact, both meetings exceeded lofty expectations in some of the best-ever气体 atmospheres. The Kansas-Missouri rivalry finally got the recognition it deserves, but it was a century too late. That is why we see the pundits on ESPN urging Kansas to continue the rivalry as if the Jayhawks are at fault, which they are not. "Missouri has to market their future. We are their past," Self explained to the media following the Feb. 25 Kansas-Missouri game. As disheartening as the remarks may be to fans of the rivalry, Mizzou's move to the SEC takes away the series' substance. There is not much point in continuing the rivalry with nothing on the line. But if the Border Showdown can muster just 40 more minutes of life, it would make for an absolutely epic Big 12 Championship. Tradition is what makes college sports great, and one of the most storied rivalries is over. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Coach Bill Self laughs on the sidelines during the second half of Saturday's game against Texas. Kansas won 73-63. MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Before it all began, before the loss to Kentucky in New York, the narrow victory over a Jared Sullinger-less Ohio State and the eighth consecutive Big 12 title, coach Bill Self had a message for Kansas fans at Late Night in the Phog on Oct. 14, 2011. "We are going to be good," coach Bill Self said, "but you have to enjoy the process." He was bracing the fans for the possibility of failure, something rare in these parts. Self knew he didn't have the Morris twins, Tyrel Reed or Brady Morningstar around to save the day. He knew that three recruits, Braeden Anderson, Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor, probably wouldn't be Joining his rotation because of NCAA rules. He knew that success was possible, but that it was going to take heaps of development and focus. Going into this week's Big 12 tournament, No. 3 Kansas (26-5, 16-2) has exceeded presseason expectations and shaped itself into what many consider a serious postseason contender. "People definitely didn't think we were going to be No. 3 or No. 4 in the nation by this time of the year," junior center leff Withey said. The Javahaws didn't buy into the supposed wisdom of the talking heads. "We thought we were this good, though," Withey said. "Everybody inside the locker room, we knew that we had some talent and we could come out and play." as a starter before this season. Last season, junior guard Elijah Johnson briefly replaced Taylor and started six games. Junior guard Travis Releford started four games last season before hurting his ankle at Michigan on Jan. 9, 2011. With the Morris twins starting ahead of him, junior forward Thomas Robinson started twice last season. And Withey started just once last season. Only senior guard Tyshawn Taylor had extensive experience "A lot of backup quarter-backs think they should be the signal callers," Self said. "Until it's fourth quarter, you've got to go the field of the field and they're rushing five on you or six on you every time. It's something that you've got to go through and get used to." The once inexperienced Jayhawks now know nothing but the current way. Taylor, Johnson and Releford have all started 30 games. Robinson and Withey have started 31. With these five at the helm, Kansas has been a part of just three games that had final-score margins of four points or less. "I think this year our schedule was a lot better," Taylor said after Saturday's Senior Night. "It made us tougher for conference. We just kind of grinded it all the way out and ended up winning." "It's been really exciting this year just to see everything develop." Withey said. Taylor cited the early-season hurdles against Kentucky, Duke and Ohio State among others, as learning experiences that helped the team prepare for the Big 12. 2 — Edited by Jeff Karr There's no place like home BASEBALL Jayhawks look to rebound after disappointing weekend in San Antonio ANDREW JOSEPH aioseph@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team returns home for the first time in three weeks to take on North Dakota Tuesday afternoon at Hogland Ballpark.

Price expects to CLEVELAND Kahana North Dakota enters Tuesday's game with a 0-4 record, coming off a brutal four-game series with Wichita State. The Shockers outscored the Fighting Sioux 62-3 in the four games, including a 26-0 loss. "I thought that the progress from the previous weekend to this weekend was very good," Price said. The Kansas batters struggled early in the season, but a 12-run weekend and even more hard-hit balls are signs of improvement for the team's offense. - Edited by Gabrielle Schock "I think we'll see more of a mixture," Price said. "When he comes into the game late with runners in scoring position, he has to be more of a power pitcher." see a different approach from Kahana as a starter. Robinson is joined on the First Team by senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, both unanimous selections. Taylor averaged 17.2 points per game on the season and led the Jayhawks with 18.6 points per game in conference play. MEN'S BASKETBALL Junior forward Thomas Robinson was named conference Player of the Year after being the only Big 12 player to average a double-double on the season (18 points, 11.9 rebounds). His 22 double-doubles led the conference and were the second most in the nation.

He swan dives of out an airplane, rips off a jumpsuit to reveal a tuxedo and has a beautiful woman on his arm to help him steal international secrets at dinner. Two CIA members discussed the unrealistic practices of James Bond and other government agents from movies and what it really takes to work for the agency, as well as career opportunities with the CIA on Tuesday evening. The two talked with students during an information session at the University Visitor Center. The two work for the National Clandestine Service (NCS), a division of the CIA, which focuses on national security and foreign policy through counter intelligence and covert action. In other words, this is where James Bond would work if he were American. The pair, a man and a woman, discussed a variety of careers with NCS and other divisions within the CIA, including language officers and advanced positions, but focused on field-based positions through the NCS, in which employees work overseas to gather intelligence. The woman candidly discussed lying to her children, her mother and everyone except her husband about where she works. She wanted the audience to understand that applying for any NCS position is not for the faint of heart. "People ask me how I can lie to my own children, but I do it for my country and for my own safety as well as theirs," she said. The ability to keep a low profile is essential to the program. Those attending were asked not to share they went to the meeting on Facebook or with others, and the pair said the CIA does not have a Facebook page. Trying to accessing any Facebook page that claims to be the CIA, they said, may cause malware to infect the computer, because the site is a fake . VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Both the man and the woman had worked in field-based positions and discussed how to be selected for one. An applicant can obtain a field-based position through two programs: the Professional Trainee (PT) program and the Clandestine Service Trainee (CST) program. In the PT program, an applicant must be between 21 and 25 years old and have a college degree. It is for people with limited professional or military experience. The CST program is for people with professional or military experience who are between the ages of 26 and 35. are between the ages of 21 and 30. The two made it clear that anyone applying to work for the CIA must be willing to work in Washington D.C. and wherever Automatic disqualifiers for CIA applicants: Use of illegal drugs or prescription drug abuse within the last year Not a US citizen: you don't have to be a natural-born citizen, but you must be a citizen when applying and your spouse must be willing to become a citizen if he/she is not one already.

They also stressed the need for integrity and good judgment. "We're looking for diverse people who can solve problems, and common sense is critical!" the man said. "If we could find a program offering a degree in common sense, believe me, wed promote the hell out of it." They asked anyone applying to take interest in international affairs and recommended seeking news through international outlets, such as BBC and Al-Jazeera. The same extensive application process is required for any job with the NCS. Applicants must apply online at cia.gov and the entire selection process takes between 12 and 18 months. It includes interviews, trips to Washington D.C. for aptitude tests and examinations by medical personnel and members of security. The CIA receives 10,000 applications a month, but the man said those who are selected will never be bored with their jobs.

The Joplin, Mo., high school was destroyed by a tornado immediately following last year's graduation ceremony. ASSOCIATED PRESS Obama to visit Joplin for graduation night COLUMBIA, Mo. — President Barack Obama will speak at Joplin High School's commencement, a year after a tornado struck just after the ceremony, killing more than 160 people and destroying much of the city. The high school was among the thousands of homes and buildings destroyed, and students have been attending classes in a nearby mall this year. Word traveled quickly through the student body Monday after the White House announced the president would speak at the May 21 graduation. "It's just amazing that we can have such huge recognition for our school," said senior Lexi Willcoxon, 18. "It's such a huge honor. To be able to say the president is giving our commencement speech — that's a memory that will last a lifetime." Obama attended a memorial service in Joplin one week after the deadly tornado, the worst to strike the United States in decades. Seven students and one staff member at Joplin schools were among the victims. Speaking at the memorial service, Obama promised residents "your country will be there with you every single step of the way" The president will travel to Joplin after the G-8 and NATO summits in Chicago.

A tornado struck the city of 50,000 less than an hour after Joplin High wrapped up its 2011 graduation ceremony at nearby Missouri Southern State University, Will Norton, one of the students receiving a diploma that day, was killed in the storm as he drove home. This year's commencement also will be held at the university. "I was like, 'Sure Dad, whatever you say,' she recalled. "I was shocked, to say the least. Joplin is such a small town." "I can't even begin to express how proud I am of this particular class," he said. "The resiliency they've shown, their leadership, their strength ... Having the president here shines a spotlight on these kids, and all they've been able to accomplish." Joplin schools superintendent C.J Huff said Obama's visit will keep the nation's attention on the recovery effort and honor a senior class that has "grown up a lot this year, just like all the rest of us." News of Obama's return to Joplin came other communities were struggling with the aftermath of deadly tornados.

The two developments countered somewhat the crisis atmosphere over Iran's nuclear program, the focus of talks in Washington between President Barack Obama and Israel's visiting prime minister. Speaking at a news conference, Obama said he saw a "window of opportunity" to use diplomacy instead of military force to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear program. He said he is focused on "crippling EUROPE sanctions" already imposed on Iran and on international pressure to keep Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. Iranians need to show they are serious about resolving the crisis, he said, adding that his policy is not one of containment but of stopping Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Morticians stacked bodies two to a tray at Brazzaville's main morgue, as the death toll rose to at least 236 from a conflagration at an armory that catapulted shells, rockets and other munitions into a densely populated area. Republic of Congo capital rocked by explosions, 246 dead BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — Morticians stacked bodies two to a tray at Brazzaville's main morgue Tuesday as state radio reported at least 246 people had died from two days of explosions at an armory that catapulted shells, rockets and other munitions into a densely populated area of the capital of the Republic of Congo. Police said international firefighters had brought the main blaze under control by Tuesday morning, and prevented it from spreading to a second munitions depot just 100 yards (meters) away. The second depot contains even heavier-caliber weapons, including Stalin's Organ multiple rocket launchers, a military source said, requesting anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. It still was unclear whether rescue efforts could start in earnest, nearly three days after the first blasts. The military source said there were plans for the controlled destruction of the munitions in the second depot, which likely will delay any attempts to dig into the rubble to find possible survivors or bodies. At the morgue of the city's main Central University Hospital, funeral services director Ferdinand Malembo Milandou said on national television that they had run out of space. He've been forced to place the bodies in each rack," he said from the morgue that has the capacity to hold 126 corpses. National radio reported that morgue was holding 236 bodies. That did not appear to include 70 bodies at the morgue of the capital's military hospital. Adding those corpses to state radio's toll citing the director of the main hospital mortuary would bring the number of dead to more than 300.

ASSOCIATED PRESS as gay, "I'm going to say, 'There are all sorts of issues we need to wrestle through in our life. Just because you feel one way doesn't mean we should act on everything we feel." The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) immediately responded, calling Cameron "dated" and "out of step." And the remarks sent numerous celebrities to Twitter to vent their feelings. Roseanne Barr wrote on Sunday, "kirk or kurt or whatever cameron is an accomplice to murder with his hate speech." Debra Messing, acknowledging Cameron's right to his beliefs, said, "I can't be forced to be tolerant of intolerance. I find his words hurtful and 'destructive' — but yes; free speech." "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson wrote, "The only unnatural thing about me being gay is that I had a crush on Kirk Cameron until about 24 hours ago." As for Morgan, TMZ reported that the talk-show host said Cameron was brave for sticking to what he believes, even if most people find his views to be "antiquated." 3/07 Difficulty Level ★★★ I'll just use a placeholder text for the actual image content.

The Olympic medalist then jogged up to a grinning Harry, making one of his signature skyward points for a crowd of onlookers at the University of the West Indies in the Jamaican capital. KINGSTON, Jamaica — It wasn't much of a race, but then it really couldn't have been as the world's fastest man and Britain's Prince Harry met up on a track Tuesday in the Jamaican capital. Later, the two exchanged pleasantries and talked about running for a small audience, including many athletes. The prince noted Jamaica's international reputation as a track and field powerhouse and said it was impressive for a small nation of nearly 3 million. Harry then joined Bolt for a few pointing poses to an appreciative crowd. "Don't go running off to America because you have a clear talent your country needs," he told a group of up-and-coming Jamaican athletes as he sat beside Bolt. Harry is touring the Caribbean as part of a Diamond Jubilee tour in honor of Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrates 60 years on the throne. The 27-year-old prince, who made earlier stops in the Bahamas and Belize, arrived by private jet and received a 21-gun salute from members of the Jamaica Defense Force. Harry also met with the new prime minister, Portia Simpson Miller, who repeated her position that Jamaica should sever ties with the British monarchy after a lightearted lunch with Harry and several guests at a 19th-century Georgian-style mansion. Jamaica has been independent from Britain since 1962 but still recognizes the queen of England as the titular head of state. "This is just another phase in our political history," she told reporters after the lunch, without offering a deadline for a possible change. PAGE 4 Though many older Jamaicans are fond of the woman affectionately known as "Mrs. Queen," pro-republic sentiment on the island has increased in recent years. Simpson Miller said that many Jamaicans were behind But she stressed that Jamaica would continue to have very close ties with Britain and that she harbored no bad feelings toward the queen. the move to replace the queen and instead adopt a republican form of government. "She is so warm. We're all in love with her," she said. Minutes before, she quipped that she was charmed also by Harry, telling reporters: "We might not let him go." About a decade ago, former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson made a similar call to replace the queen but the effort fizzled amid political bickering. In 2002, Jamaica's Parliament moved to sever ties with its former ruler by changing its oath of allegiance from the queen to the Jamaican constitution. The change requires a public referendum and amending Jamaica's constitution. Harry arrived for their lunch in a black Range Rover under heavy security. The two embraced and warmly chatted on the steps of the Devon House mansion, where they ate citrus salad with mango dressing, jerked pork, curried coconut shrimp and Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee. In an interview last Thursday with The Associated Press, Simpson Miller said political change is necessary to eliminate the vestiges of colonialism. "I think the fact that August coming will be 50 years since we have gained our independence, that it's time for us to sever the ties," she had said. At the track stadium, though, there was nothing but enthusiasm for the prince, especially among the young women in the crowd. Female university students waved enthusiastically and cheered for him, calling for him to come out of his motorcade. "It's the first time I have ever been this close to royalty." 23-year-old medical student Shikera Fearon said as the prince pulled away. Fluke POLITICS P Limbaugh apologizes for 'slut' comment Limbaugh WASHINGTON — Radio host Rush Limbaugh said his apology to the Georgetown law student he called a "slut" was sincere but also joked that he, too, got a busy signal Monday I ASSOCIATED PRESS PETER J. MAYER when he called the show to join the growing roster of advertisers abandoning it. The student, Sandra Fluke, said Limbaugh's apology did nothing to change the corrosive tone of the debate over health care coverage and that Americans have to decide whether they want to support companies that continue to advertise on his program. AOL on Monday became the eighth advertiser to leave Limbaugh's three-hour show as he sought to stem the exodus of advertisers and fellow conservatives declined to offer him support. "I should not have used the language I did, and it was wrong," a rarely contrite Limbaugh told listeners. 1 Fluke, who testified to congressional Democrats in support of their national health care policy that would compel her Jesuit college's health plan to cover her birth control, said she had not heard from Limbaugh directly but signaled she had little interest in speaking with him. She said his criticism of her beliefs was an attack on women's health. "It is an attempt to silence me," Fluke told ABC's "The View." Fluke had been invited to testify to a House committee about her school's health care plan, which does not include contraception. Republican lawmakers barred her from testifying during that hearing, but Democrats invited her back and she spoke to the Democratic lawmakers at an unofficial session. — and many Republican leaders, too — have suggested the issue could energize women to vote for Obama and other Democrats in November. Sen. John McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee, told CBS News on Monday that Limbaugh's statements were unacceptable "in every way" and "should be condemned" by people across the political spectrum. Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich said it is "silly" to suggest that Limbaugh speaks for the party. The issue has been much debated in the presidential race, with Republican candidates particularly criticizing President Barack Obama's requirements on such employers as Catholic hospitals. Democrats Limbaugh, even as he retreated from his earlier characterization of Fluke as a "slut" and "prostitute," insisted the 30-year-old was trying to "force a religious institution to abandon its principles to meet hers."

RELIGION An adventure in fasting: finding God and my faith Arguing with my friends about faith has become a daily activity for me. Some days I believe in God and really feel enlightened, but other days my scientific mind overpowers me, and I am left with a mind full of doubt and skepticism. When I argue with people, the disagreement always comes to a similar conclusion: I have never tried to be faithful, therefore I am missing the fruits that its followers enjoy. I usually discount this argument By Jon Samp jsamp@kansan.com because I have read a lot of the Bible, and it is easy for me to point out contradictions and crazy ideas that don't make sense. because I have heard of its cleansing and spiritual effects. With this fast, I limited myself to only water with the hope that I would find what it means to be spiritual and to make God a part of my life. The following is what "Being faithful is kind of like beer. You can acquire a taste for it, it makes you feel warm, and while you're drinking it, it makes you feel free." Recently, however, faith was explained to me in a way that got me thinking. Being faithful is kind of like beer. You can acquire a taste for it; it makes you feel warm; and while you're drinking it, it makes you feel free. happened: The problem I have been running into is that I have never actually tasted this beer, only examined the ways in which it is made and the process people go about drinking this holy ale. When I read the Bible and go to church, I find myself thinking that it is cute, but being an intelligent person, I must know better than to believe in that hocus pocus. The only real way for me to know if I am right, however, would be to take a drink of that beer, swirl it around, and get its taste in my mouth. So, I am going to attempt to transcend the logical inconsistency barrier that is the Bible and give this faith thing a real shot. Day 1 My final act of eating was this morning, when I had a bagel for breakfast. I decided that would be my last meal and would get me off to a good start. Now, it is evening and I am certainly hungry and feel a little off. I am going through periods of feeling very hungry and being tired. I did not realize I would be this hungry after just a day. Today I am less hungry, however I am thinking a lot more about eating. Also, my energy is down the drain. I have been sluggish and sleepy all day long. Still, I have had no signs or revelations of the almighty. On another note, when you have not eaten for an extended period of time, you begin to realize how often people talk about food. In nearly every conversation I have had today, food has come up, just making the temptation of food harder to resist. I decided to begin fasting, Dav 2: Day 3: Not feeling very hungry today, just jittery and full of excitement. I am feeling extra compassionate toward people, wanting to make people smile. The thought of eating is a distant idea and it seems like something that I used to do a long time ago, and I can only reminisce about it now that I have given it up. Day 4: After feeling shaky and uneasy, I decided to eat something. This officially ended my fast, and now I feel like a whole new person. An energy that I have not felt in a long time has found me and I feel great, even if I am dependent on food. Throughout the experience I felt lousy, but in control of my body at the same time. I did not hear the words of God in this experiment but I did learn more about what it means to be faithful. Faith is supposed to be slowly obtained and a person must grow with it subtly over time. Doing crash fasting is not going to show you God because if it did, fasting would be an integral part of religion for any churchgoer. Even if I can prove that the Earth is not flat or that no one can actually live inside a whale, it does not mean that there is no merit in believing in religion. We are the makers of our own meaning and when we accept that we cannot understand everything in the universe, we must make meaning for ourselves. Whether or not there is an unseen deity moving us around like a game of cosmic chess, life is what you make of it, so make it great for yourself and the people around you. Samp is a senior in human biology from Lawrence. LETTER TO THE EDITOR In theory, the University operates under a system of faculty governance. Numerous committees with lengthy documentation of powers and procedures are supposedly in place to establish fairness. Tenure review is arguably the most critical duty of any University reviewer, and the associated committees and procedures are supposed to be under close scrutiny. Why, then, is one of our best being fired? Albert Romkes came to the KU mechanical engineering department from this country's premier program in his area of expertise. There is no dispute that Remkes admirably carried out his general responsibilities in teaching, research and service. He is an excellent, award-winning undergraduate and graduate teacher. He was instrumental in obtaining external research funding from federal agencies. He collaborated with others outside the department. He published at a rate exceeding departmental averages. The list goes on. The primary reason stated for denial of tenure is that Remkes did not demonstrate the ability to sustain his research "as demonstrated by funded external grants with the candidate as principal investigator (PI)." This claim by the dean of engineering was introduced without documentation to the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure (UCPT) and was never allowed to be questioned, rebautted or appealed. Only after weeks of investigation did it come to light that the PI criteria had never been an approved part of the tenure policy. This is the event that derailed due process for Remkes. What are the facts? Remkes has independently been awarded research funding as a PI and is also a significant participant (as Co-I) on other funded research. Because of the strength of Remkes' research, he has successfully competed for and won a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant (as PI),putting him in the rare 14 percent of KU proposers to the NSP engineering directorate who are successful. By doing so he firmly established himself as a top KU researcher in a highly competitive field. Some faculty may be disturbed that the mechanics of a tenure decision are being aimed in public, thinking that resolution should be achieved through internal channels Remkes has repeatedly tried to find internal channels. There are none. Furthermore, the tenure process has been revised to bar a candidate from a second review, which was not the case when he was hired in 2005. Albert Romkes is one of us. He has invested his time, his energy, his heart and soul to building an academic career and improving this university. The University has not treated him honestly. Remkes' accomplishments have been ignored, his appeals for review have been summarily dismissed and his appointment as a member of the faculty will soon be terminated without just cause or due process. Enough time has elapsed for the administration to recognize the systematic failures in this case and to take corrective action. Instead, it has chosen to resist any appeal. Remkens' appointment will expire. He will no longer be part of the KU community. He will have no status. And by unfair implication, other universities will treat him as untouchable. It is imperative that we act now. Will the chancellor choose to lead? In the best interests of the University, we call on Chancellor Gray-Little to recognize that she, the provost and UCPT were misled (knowingly or unknowingly) by the School of Engineering administrators, and to reverse the denial of tenure decision, and to promote Remkes to associate professor with tenure. The facts clearly show that Romkes is qualified. He has rightfully earned that rank. Will KU governance do the right thing?

He then followed that victory with a solid nine-point outing against the Pacers the following day Against Dallas, Henry shot eight of 12, hitting a three-pointer and both free throws to go along with four rebounds, two assists and two steals. He also had zero fouls in 24 minutes of playing time. On March 3, during Henny's less stellar nine-point outing, he shot four of 11, going one of two from outside the three-point line, with six rebounds, two assists and a steal.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Gooden combined to go 18 of 18 from the free-throw line in two consecutive games this past week. On Feb. 28, in his first game back after missing four games, Gooden put up 15 points in 23 minutes before injuring his back in the third quarter. He was back at it the next day, though, starting for the Bucks and posting 23 points (seven of 15) with eight rebounds and two assists to go along with a perfect nine of nine from the free-throw line. However, the Bucks eventually lost to Boston, 96-102. In a March 2 game against Atlanta, Gooden put up 26 points in 38 minutes of playing time. Again, he went nine of nine from the free-throw line with 10 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one three-pointer in a 94-99 loss.

Mortensen reported Tuesday night that the Colts would hold a press conference announcing the decision. Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay will be in attendance. Manning missed all of last season and had three confirmed neck surgeries. As a result, the Colts only won two games after nine straight seasons of at least 10 wins and one Super Bowl victory The losing season gave the Colts the first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, where they are expected to take Stanford University standout quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck is widely regarded as the best quarterback prospect since Manning. Along with finding a replacement for Manning, the Colts are rebuilding after recently firing vice chairman Bill Polian, general manager Chris Polian and coach Jim Caldwell. Manning's release will save the Colts $28 million and make him a free agent for the 2012-2013 season. —Vikaas Shanker The Big 12 Conference honored three Kansas athletes on Tuesday with its highest academic honor.

Tomorrow at 2 p.m., the Jayhawks will take on the winner of tonight's Oklahoma and Texas A&M game. "We have to take care of our bodies. Playing three games in three days is rough," junior center Jeff Withey said of the possibility of playing in Saturday's tournament title game. "We just have to be thinking that we are going in to win it, and it is going to be tough. But I think that we can do it." Junior guard Travis Releford said preparation for tomorrow's game would be a challenge, since he didn't know if his team would play the Sooners or the Aggies. He also said, aside from that challenge, the team's practices wouldn't change. "I just think it's another chance for us to get better and to gain some momentum going into the tournament," Releford said. "I think the post-season conference tournament is very important for us, because it shows what we can get better at." SPORTING NEWS HONORS SELF, ROBINSON AND TAYLOR Sporting News announced its annual college basketball awards on Tuesday. Coach Bill Self was named National Coach of the Year after guiding the Jayhawks to a 26-5 regular season record and its eighth-consecutive Big 12 regular season championship. Self lost four starters from last season's team and returned only Tyshawn Taylor to the starting lineup. This is the third time Self has won the award. Junior forward Thomas Robinson was a reserve last season, but his breakout year earned him First Team All-American honors. Robinson averages 18 points and 11.9 rebounds this season. The Sporting News named him an All-Big 12 first team selection, and Robinson is also the Associated Press Big 12 men's basketball player of the year. He narrowly lost the honor of Sportins News' National Player of the Year, which instead went to Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis. Tyshawn Taylor has also received recognition from the Sporting News, being named to the All-American third team. Taylor averages 17.2 points this season and leads Kansas in assists (152) and three-pointers made (53). He is a two-time Big 12 Player of the Week and an All-Big 12 first team selection. LEGEND OF THE PHOG PASSES Former Kansas basketball player Former Kansas Delvy Lewis lost his battle with cancer and died Monday afternoon, KU Athletics announced. He was 68. LOUIS Lewis played under coach Todd Owens from 1964 to 1966 and was a three-year Lewis and was a three-year starting point guard for the Jayhawks. Lewis, a Topeka native was a member of Big Eight Holiday Tournament Championship teams in 1964 and 1965 and was named MVP of the 1965 tournament. Lewis was the starting point guard on the 1966 squad that lost to Texas Western College in the Midwest Regional finals of the NCAA tournament. — Edited by Caroline Kraft WOMEN'S BRACKET Fighting for a shot at 'big dance' RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com But when it comes to coaches, the "Bracketology" of the NCAA Tournament can be a tricky subject. Fans love it. Sports commentators enjoy using it to fill time on their radio shows and podcasts. Players scramble to scroll through the latest results on their phones while they walk to the bus after the game. The Kansas women's basketball team embraces the people who determine its March Madness fate, but the team can't base all of its expectations on prognosticators. "You can look at it because they need to understand what's at stake," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They need to understand we have an opportunity to help ourselves again and control what we need to control." On Tuesday afternoon, in Charlie Creme's latest ESPN.com Bracketology update, the Jayhawks sat as the second team in the "Next Four Out" group. Essentially, they are five spots away from being included in the NCAA Tournament. Junior forward Carolyn Davis said "Bracketology" is something the team discusses once in a while, but not something she follows religiously through the home stretch of the season. "We try to look at, but honestly, I don't really understand it and so I don't get into it to it too much," she said. Davis was named to the All-Big 12 First Team on Monday, even though she will miss the rest of this season with a left-ACL tear and dislocated knee. Overcoming this injury remains difficult for Davis. But now, as the games become increasingly significant, she wishes she could help the team as more than a coach and cheerleader. Davis watched Kansas drop a few games at home that probably should have been victories. Two of the major setbacks came against Missouri on Jan. 15 and Oklahoma State in the last game of the regular season. "It's tough just to see that and go back and still think about and wish you had those games back," Davis said. "At the same time, we're capable of winning those games; we just didn't compete." The Jayhawks still have plenty of quality wins to their credit. They swept the Texas Longhorns in the season series, defeated Iowa State in double overtime and upset Oklahoma on Sunday. Only one of the key victories came without Davis in the lineup. And at this point, it's unclear whether the NCAA Tournament committee will take the injury into account. "I think they look at your body of work for what it is, not for what it could be or might be. I think that's irresponsible," Henrickson said. "I think you do the work on who we are right now and on the full body of work." Another factor might be the strength of the conference in general. The Big 12 is ranked No.1 overall in the conference. "This conference is very, very good," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "We have the No.1 team, and then you have a team that won the whole thing last year, so this great conference, and it's been one possession." But for now, the focus is on the next task at hand: making sure Kansas gets that victory to ensure it is in — not out — of the tournament field. The Jayhawks play the Aggies Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. "I think we're squarely on the bubble, and we've done a lot of good things to build a resume," Henrickson said. "I think the best thing is going to beat Texas A&M."

Kahana pitched 3.1 innings Saturday against Louisiana Lafayette, and Kansas coaches wanted to limit him to three innings Tuesday. Coach Ritch Price also wanted to save Kahan's arm for Friday's doubleheader against Stony Brook. But Kahana was too efficient for pitching coach Ryan Graves and coach Price to take him out after only three innings. Kahana needed only 46 pitches to get through four innings of work against North Dakota — four innings of perfect work. The Jayhawks defeated the Fighting Sioux, 7-4. "I really wanted to go back in the fifth," Kahana said. "My arm felt good, but Graves said I have to get ready for the weekend, so I can come out the pen in the double-header." Kahana, a freshman righthander, faced 12 batters and sent each of them back to the visitor's dugout. He also struck out four batters in the process. He was credited with the win because his limited outing, determined before the game, kept him from pitching into the fifth innning. "We're trying to use him as a swing guy," Price said. "We want to use him out of the bullpen on weekends and to start him mid-week. He's a really special freshman, as you could see today." Colin Toalson, another fresh- 16 27 ASLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Associate coach Ryan Graves, freshman pitcher Colin Tolson and junior catcher Alex DeLon discuss their next play on the pitcher's mound. line-drive single up the middle to first baseman Jeff Campbell. man pitcher, relieved Kahana in the fifth inning. Toallson lost the perfect game on his first pitch, a "By the time Toalson leaves here, he'll be one of the best pitchers on the staff." "Toalson got knocked around a little bit, and I still like what he brings to the table," Price said. "He just didn't finish hitters. When he got two strikes, he hung a lot of balls that he probably got away with in high school." "By the time Toalson leaves here, he'll be one of the best pitchers on the staff," Jakubov said. Toalson hit the game after a leadoff hit in the sixth and was replaced by senior Jordan Jakubov. In one-plus innings of work, Toalson was hit hard for four runs three earned on four hits and a walk. Toalson struck out two of the eight batters he faced. The bullpen picked up the freshman and took over where Kahana left off. Jakubov was impressive in his three innings of ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Junior infielder Jordan Dreiling bunts the ball during Tuesday's game against North Dakota. Kansas won, 7-4. 10 JORDAN JACOBUV Senior pitcher said, "He's one of the greatest kids I've ever coached in my 34-year career" "To have two Tommy John surgeries and to fight the adversity he's gone through, I'm just thrilled that he's being successful and being rewarded for how hard he's worked." Price Tanner Poppe came on in the ninth inning to earn the save, retiring three batters he faced with two strikeouts. Poppe redeemed himself after a rough outing of giving up two runs on four hits in Sunday's loss to Gonzaga.

I know he's been through a lot the last couple years, but just the way he carried himself and playing against him, he's terrific." Texas coach Rick Barnes on Thomas Robinson after losing to Kansas Saturday FACT FACT OF THE DAY Kansas' current roster features no former McDonalds All-Americans. --- - ESPN.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the last Kansas player to win the Naismith Award? A: Danny Manning in 1988 THE MORNING BREW Comparing Player of the Year nominees The Player of the Year race will come down to PARKS Davis Robinson come down to the wire. Kentucky's freshman Anthony Davis has stormed onto the national scene recently, thanks in large part to his ability to dominate a game on the defensive side of the ball. Kansas junior Thomas Robinson has been a front-runner for the award since the season started. POLITICS STATS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES This season, Robinson has averaged 18 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists a game. Robinson also raises his game against ranked opponents, averaging 19.8 points a game. Davis averages 14.4 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.7 blocks a game. Despite being 6 feet 10 inches tall, Davis' wingspan measures 7 feet 4 inches. With his length, he alters as many shots as he blocks and can change the wav a team plays offensive. Robinson ranks second in the nation in both rebounds per game and double- By Max Lush mlush@kansan.com doubles, with 22 on the season. He is also the only player in the Big 12 averaging a double-double. Davis leads the nation in blocks per game and is second in the SEC for rebounds per game. Ultimately, the player who wins this category depends largely on how important defensive production is to you. This one is much more subjective than looking at statistics. How valuable is each player to his team? IMPORTANCE TO THEIR TEAM Robinson has shouldered the offensive load this season for Kansas. Davis has anchored the Kentucky defense all season and has recently added a new dynamic to Kentucky's offense. Kentucky probably isn't a one-loss team without Davis, but I think it would still be a top-10 team. Kentucky's last two recruiting classes feature eight five-star recruits and two four-star recruits. Every player in Kentucky's starting lineup was a five-star recruit. Losing Davis would hurt, but Kentucky has the firepower to be an elite team without him. Without Robinson, Kansas could very well be a bubble team this season instead of Big 12 champions and ranked in the top five. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit featured in the Jayhawks' rotation. Tyshawn Taylor, Jeff Withey and Travis Releford were all four-star recruits, while Kevin Young was a three-star and Justin Wesley was not rated. In a season where expectations were already low, without Robinson, the Jayhawks would not be anywhere close to the top 25 teams in America. HUMAN FACTOR This criterion really isn't fair to Davis or Robinson, but it has to be a factor in any process where people decide the outcome. By all accounts, Davis is a great young man, who loves to play basketball. He KU hasn't put a wrong foot forward off the court and seems to be well-liked by all who know him. The reality is, however, it's hard not to root for Robinson and what he went through last season. That's not to take away from what he's accomplished this season, because his numbers speak for themselves, but his story has to sit in the minds of the voters. Robinson didn't ask for that consideration, and I would guess he doesn't want it either, but it's there and it's real. CONCLUSION Despite me being a bit biased, Robinson's statistics not only suggest he should be the choice, but so does his importance to his team. Robinson should take home the hardware at the end of the season.

The bench hasn't hurt Kansas recently, but the bigger questions are these: How much does this team lean on its best players when the going gets tough? And has a recent national champion ever had a bench quite as shallow as Bill Self's? Coaches strategically use certain lineups against certain teams. Jeff Withey might play against Duke, but barely see the floor against a quicker team such as Missouri. Answering those questions with statistical evidence poses problems. Foul trouble, injuries and weak opponents can also skew bench statistics. Quantifying the strength of Kansas' bench isn't easy, but I attempted to do so. I looked at the percentage of min utes played by every Kansas player who played in Kansas' five losses. I also looked at the Ohio State game, the road Texas game and the home Missouri game. This is subjective, but I think these eight games — ones where Kansas has had to play its best to win or stay close — best represent post-season-type rotations. My results paint a picture of a team that is top-heavy when the games are tight, just as any of us might guess without looking at the numbers. In those eight games, Tyshawn Taylor played 89.1 of the available minutes, 6.6 percent more than his season average. Elijah Johnson played 84.3 percent of the available minutes, 4.8 percent more than average. Thomas Robinson? 81.8 percent, 3.3 more than average. Travis Releford? 81.6 percent, 4.9 more than average. The five other guys who play competitive minutes — Withey, Naadir Tharpe, Conner Teahan, Kevin Young and Justin Wesley — played 2.4 percent less often in those eight games than they have all season. My conclusion: Self leans on Taylor, Johnson, Robinson and Releford when the games are tougher, so he probably will do the same in March. Most teams rely on their best players in the postseason, but none of the national champions in the last seven years leaned on a core of six guys quite like Kansas has so far this season. Releford, who has played the fourth-highest percentage of minutes for Kansas, plays more than the players with the fourth-highest percentage of minutes on any national champion since 2005. Young, who has played the seventh-highest percentage of minutes for Kansas, plays less than the players with the seventh-highest percentage of minutes on the same title teams. Kansas' starting five play a higher percentage of available minutes, 75.3 percent, than the any of the top-five minute-gobblers of recent national champions. So has a recent national champion's bench ever been as shallow as Kansas' this year? The answer seems to be, "No." Edited by Katie James Coach Self, starters win awards Page 7 Women's basketball five spots from NCAA Tournament Page 7 A WINNING OPENER Successes at bat lead the Jayhawks to a 7-4 victory ANDREW JOSEPH ajeoseph@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team (6-5) put an end to its three-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory in its home opener against North Dakota Tuesday afternoon. Kansas coach Ritch Price entered the game with an 8-1 record in home openers, and the lavhawks continued their With a gusting wind toward left field, senior third baseman Zac Elgie made the early offensive statement for "Honestly, coming into the game, I didn't think anybody was going to be able to hit a home run." The grand slam was Elgie's second home run of the season, and he leads the team with 12 RBIs. As the lone senior in the Jayhawks' starting lineup, Elgie's performance in the home opener could not have gone any better. the jayhawks. Elgie launched a grand slam over the left-field wall and onto Naismith Drive. The first Jayhawk grand slam since 2010 gave Kansas an early 4-0 lead and ultimately made the difference in the ball game. "Anytime we can jump out to an early lead and help our pitcher settle down, it means a lot." Elgie said. "Honestly, coming into the game, I didn't think anybody was going to be able to hit a home run," Elgie said. "The wind was howling in like it was. I was trying to see the ball deep and put a good swing on it." The Jayhawks' early season ZAC ELGIE Senior third baseman success was reliant on strong starting pitching, but the bats have finally started to come around. Kansas is averaging about five runs in its past four games. Price said that Kansas lacked energy over the weekend in San Antonio, but the opening-day crowd of 1,072 gave the Jayhawks new life, and the improved energy level paid dividends on the box score. "As hard as you preach to play against the ball. I think you still like to play when there's people and energy in the stands." Price said. Kansas scored six runs through three innings, and freshman left fielder Michael Suiter's first career home run in the third inning gave freshman pitcher Robert Kahana a 6-0 cushion to work with. Kahana pitched a perfect four innings en route to his first victory as a Jayhawk. Redshirt junior first baseman Jake Marasco tied a career high with four hits. Marasco is gradually breaking out of a slump, recording his second multi-hit game in his last four outings. Marasco, the Kansas captain, led the team last year with 16 multi-hit efforts, and his batting average climbed from .167 to .325 after Tuesday's game. The key to Marasco's turnaround has been his patient approach to every at bat. "For the past week or so, I have been putting great swings on balls and just not getting good results." Marasco said. "I just stuck with that approach and was able find holes today." The Jayhawks look to complete the sweep of North Dakota Wednesday afternoon at 3. Freshman Drew Morovick is due to start for Kansas against North Dakota pitcher Ben Clark. Morovick is 1-0 with 5.40 ERA in two appearances.

Quinones tied for 61st place with two of his teammates at the Louisiana Classics on Wednesday, after scoring 226 in wind conditions. TREVOR VON GRAFF tvongraff@kansan.com The Kansas men's golf team finished in a tie for 13th place, with a total team score of 23 over par in the Louisiana Classics Tuesday. Freshman Dylan McClure led the Jayhawks. He tied for 17th with a three-round total score of 217. Junior Chris Gilbert shot a team-low score of 69 in the second round, followed by a 77 during the second round. The team slid from 11th at the end of the first day at the Oakbourne Country Club golf course in Lafayette, La. Kansas coach Kit Grove said there were great scoring conditions on the first day, with temperatures in the low 70s and calm winds. The traditional course featured small, elevated greens, making approach shots difficult. At the end of Monday's play, the wind created difficult playing conditions on the course. Grove said the team did well on Tuesday, but it was Monday's wind that made play difficult for the Jayhawks. "They just have to put the time in and build that confidence back up by seeing the ball go in." "We should have an advantage," Grove said. "We should be used to playing in the wind and understand that you have to play well on par-5s on a tough day like today." McClure handled the windy conditions well, scoring 71. He also scored 73 during the first and the third rounds to finish with the team's lowest score of the tournament. "He's been consistent at home throughout qualifying." Grove said of McClure. "Seventy three was a pretty solid round of golf today with the wind and conditions." KIT GROVE Kansas men's golf coach Junior Paul Harris struggled in the final round, shooting 82. He had a 5-under-par after the first 15 holes on Tuesday, but then bogeyed on the last three. Harris had scored a 70 during Monday's windy second-round. "Paul was up and down all week," Grove said. "Today, he just got off to a bad start and played poorly all day. Eighty-two isn't very good, but he's better than that." Though McClure started the "I'm definitely going to focus on the positives from my ball striking" McClure said. "I struggled with putting, so I need to go back and work on all my putts inside 10 to 15 feet. I just missed a lot of those week." tournament with five-straight bogeys, he fought back and finished consistently throughout all three rounds. Grove said that the team's weakness at putting became obvious during the tournament. "We're not the best putting team in the country by any stretch of the imagination," Grove said. "And for me, as a coach, that's frustrating because you can always work on your putting. They just have to put the time in and build that confidence back up by seeing the ball go in." Doug Quinones, Alex Gutesha and Chris Gilbert all tied for 61st with three-round totals of 226. Harris tied for 70th with a total of 229. 5 .

University students and staff members learned how to treat and prevent muscle stress Wednesday afternoon during a Lunch 'N Learn Series; Reducing neck, shoulder and back stress at the Ambler Student Recreation Center. Trisha Brabender, a physical therapist and University alumna, told audience of about 25 people the main cause of spine stress she sees is caused by poor posture during computer use. "The stress and pain can happen to all of us." Brabender said. "Anyone at a computer for any length of time can experience it." The easiest way to prevent stress is to make sure the natural curve of your spine remains in its natural position. Brabender said the more the position changes from its natural place, the more the spine curves and becomes easier to feel through our skin. The body often tries to balance problems, so if one part or side of your spine begins to change, another change will occur to offset it. "Because the body does that, it's like dominoes," Brabender said. "If there is one area that is affected, your whole position can change." An audience member said she regularly rolls her neck in a circle to loosen muscles, but Brabender recommended leaning your head against a wall and rotating it from side to side. Positional reaseale is another method Brabender demonstrated to alleviate and prevent pain. You use your fingers to find a sore spot in your neck, shoulder or back and apply even pressure to that spot. Keeping the pressure contant, move your neck, back or shoulders until you find a position that alleviates the pain and hold it for 90 seconds. Brabender said the biggest factor in preventing stress from recurring is consistently using these methods. Ashleigh Cantrell, a senior from Olathe, said it will be difficult to remember the methods when she is distracted. "When I am on Pinterest or watching TV, it is so easy to forget," Cantrell said. "I am going to try really hard to implement it at home though and when I'm at school." - Edited by Max Rothman SIMPLE STRETCHES BRABENDER GAVE THESE TIPS TO PREVENT AND TREAT NECK, SHOULDER AND BACK PAIN: - Do not sit on your tailbone - Adjust your chair or position so the majority of your back lines up with the chair, but your tailbone should not rest against the back of your chair, alleviating strain on your spine. - Keep feet flat on the floor. - Do not bring your head forward or droop your neck when focused on a computer screen. Placing a sticky note on your screen can serve as a reminder, but move it around periodically so it doesn't blend in. - When using a laptop, elevate it so it is not lower than your eyesight. Place a pillow on your lap to elevate it if you are not a desk or table. - Break up the amount of time you sit, either by changing your position or standing up. STUDENT SENATE TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN Josh Dean, the Finance Committee Chair, takes a vote count at a finance meeting in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union on Wednesday afternoon. Financial committee passes $15 increase in student fees VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@kansan.com ELISE REUTER ereuter@kansan.com STUDENT SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS The Student Senate's finance committee approved a bill to increase student fees by $15 for the 2012-2013 academic year during its meeting Wednesday night. The bill will go to the full Senate meeting next Wednesday for approval. If approved, students with at least five credit hours will pay $443.95 in student fees. That's an increase of 3.5 percent from this year's fees of $428.95. Finance committee passed production costs for the annual "People of KU" magazine — a publication primarily for international students. It also passed a bill to fund renovations to Wescoe Beach, which includes addition of trees and improved lighting. RIGHTS COMMITTEE There will be no change to students' privacy rights in University housing after rights committee voted to remove an amendment from a bill that could change the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities. During full senate last week, the bill was up for approval, but Student Body President Libby Johnson expressed concern about the amendment to Article 19, stating she felt the clarification of the code could be restrictive to students. Now the bill going to full Senate next week will contain three amendments that would clarify language in the code and extends students' rights to online speech. Members of the committee also discussed the viability of turning some appointed senate seats representing student housing into elected positions. Edited by Bre Roach TRANSIT Students push for bus route to Med Center REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com The lack of a bus route between campus and the University Of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City has caused problems for many KU students. Bioengineering students are trying to set up a meeting with Student Body President Libby Johnson and with the parking and transit department. Students plan to ask for funding from the University to go to a bus, which would travel between the two campuses. Aly Boyer, a graduate student studying bioengineering, said she spends about $500 a month on gas to commute from Lawrence to the med center, where she researches and works in a lab. She makes the commute three or four days a week. "The challenge for us is that our program, like a number of programs, such as nursing and neuroscience, is bi-campus. Students do research on one campus but take classes on other campus," said bioengineering director Sara Wilson. "If students don't have a car, it is prohibitive for them to do anything at the other campus. A lot of opportunities are lost for students who don't own a car," Wilson said. "It's about two hours of my time, that I spend driving every day. That's time I don't have to study," Bover said. Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU parking and transit, said the department's mission is to provide service for the campus within the Lawrence community and that running a bus to the medical center does not fit their operational scheme. The bioengineering center had two trial buses in 2008 to transport students between the Lawrence campus and the med center. The purpose of the trial buses was to show the demand for the route. Beth Wehner, business manager at the school of engineering, said the first trial ran for three days, but the results were inconclusive. In September of 2008, the bioengineering center did a second trial. It Parking and transit is funded by student fees at the Lawrence campus and by parking funds that are generated on the Lawrence campus, Kaiser said. Google maps shows that the distance between the Lawrence campus and the med center is 42.8 miles on I-35 or I-70. On K-10 the trip is 52.5 miles. The current buses are made for in-city use. Kaiser said that a route to Kansas City would require a purchase of a new over-the-road coach, which would cost upwards of $400,000, along with the operational cost, fuel and driver wages. "There have been a number of conversations over the years about a desire to have this, but no one has been able to get a good handle on how many people would use it and when they would use it," Kaiser said. "Certainly no one has ever been able to come up with a source of funds to pay for it." was a four week trial. Wilson said that the bioengineering center did not have enough funding to keep the route.

(AP) — Student claims that a junior high teacher was moonlighting as a porn star were initially dismissed after school officials said they couldn't find any images of her on the Internet. The investigation was quickly restarted, however, when other teachers showed them downloads from smartphones, and the officials realized the school computer system blocked access to sex sites. "I saw parts of the video," Oxnard School District Superintendent Jeff Chancer said Wednesday. "It's hard-core pornography." The teacher at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School in Oxnard was placed on paid administrative leave Monday. Her name was not released, but a school site administrator believes she's the one seen in the video, Chancer said. Officials said no district students were seen in the video. On Tuesday, the district sent a letter to parents of students at all three of its junior high schools, asking that their children not search Internet sex sites for the teacher's image. "It has been alleged that one of our teachers is depicted in at least one pornographic video and possibly others on the Internet," Chancer said in the letter. Asked if the curiosity of 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds might actually be piqued by such a notice, he said, "I Chancer wouldn't say if the teacher acknowledged or denied it was her image on the video. He also declined to give her age or other information, saying that involved a personnel matter. don't know." The teacher's contract does not contain a moral turpitude clause, but Chancer said the California Education Code outlines employment conditions that could lead to her being disciplined or fired. ELECTION "We're trying to determine if there's a nexus on what she does on her own time and what she does in the classroom," he said. The Oxnard Police Department was also notified, but spokeswoman Monica Munoz said there is no criminal investigation. ASSOCIATED PRESS Romney 'prepared to fight' for presidency BOSTON — It might not be pretty, but Mitt Romney's campaign insists he'll be the last man standing. The candidate himself said Wednesday that he's "prepared to fight all the way" to the Republican National Convention in late summer to go up against President Barack Obama in the fall. "We've got the time and the resources and a plan to get all the delegates, and we think that will get done before the convention," Romney said in an interview with CNBC. He lost four of the 10 states that voted on Super Tuesday and won marquee Ohio by less than 1 percentage point. But he's far ahead in the race for convention delegates, a point repeated by top campaign aides who briefed reporters during a Wednesday post-mortem. Their bottom line: It's going to be a long, hard-fought spring. And while Romney may continue to make mistakes and struggle to unite voters and the GOP establishment behind him, he is, in the words of one adviser, "ahead of the other guys." In a memo to reporters, political director Rich Beeson said Tuesday's voting "dramatically reduced the likelihood that any of Gov. Romney's opponents can obtain the Republican nomination." In the document, Beeson said Romney's six wins increased his lead in the delegate race much more than popular vote totals indicate. Romney now has 415 delegates to Rick Santorum's 176 delegates, according to an Associated Press tally. But senior aides on Wednesday wouldn't identify any upcoming state where Romney is likely to win. Next up are contests in Kansas, Alabama and Mississippi — conservative states where he could struggle. There's a potential bright spot in Illinois, where a special political action committee that supports him is already airing TV Romney also has acknowledged making a series of campaign mistakes and has said he is working to improve as a candidate. In the CNBC interview, he acknowledged that it's impossible to know whether his plan to cut marginal tax rates by 20 percent will add to the deficit. for his rivals to surpass him in delegates. He said details still need to be worked out with Congress. Romney's campaign says Super Tuesday was the final opportunity A PLACE TO COME HOME TO. "PEACE & QUIET LIVING" ONE BEDROOM...

Judge Jose Alvarado ruled a national, multi-government agency formed to fight violence against women should reconsider a request by activists to declare a state of alert for central Mexico State, women's rights activist Maria de la Luz Estrada said Tuesday. Human rights groups say hundreds of women have been killed or gone missing in recent years in that state, which lies next to Mexico City and is home to 13 million people. Estrada said her group has documented more than 1,000 killings of women during the six-year administration of former Gov. Enrique Pena Nieto, who is a leading contender in the July 1 presidential election. The issue recalled the campaign for justice waged by relatives of women killed in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, where dozens of women were tortured, raped and killed prompting a women's rights movement that garnered international attention. "Authorities in Mexico State don't investigate and instead blame the victims for their own deaths, or in many cases say they committed suicide, without doing a proper investigation," Estrada said. The judge's ruling was aimed at the National Agency for Prevention and Eradication of Violence Against Women, which was formed in 2007 from federal, state and local agencies to declare violence alerts and follow up with education, prosecution and prevention programs. MIDDLE EAST Avalanche destorys village, 50 confirmed dead so far JARF, Afghanistan — Rescuers shoveled through deep snow Wednesday, searching for victims of an avalanche that destroyed a village of about 200 people in northeastern Afghanistan, authorities said. Fifty people have been confirmed dead, and most of the other residents of the devastated village are also believed to have perished. Only seven people are known to have survived the avalanche, which buried dozens of homes Sunday night in Badakhshan province, said Sultanhamid, an employee of the Geneva-based Aga Khan Foundation who hiked to the site. Four of the survivors were injured in the avalanche in Dasty village in the Darzab area, Sultanhamid said by telephone. The three others, two women and one child, were away from the village fetching water when tons of snow came crashing down, he said. The 50 who have been confirmed dead included three who were found alive but died later because no medical personnel have reached the site, said Sultanhamid, who uses only one name, like many Afghans. The dead also included 18 children and two teachers who were in a mosque when the avalanche hit. The bodies that have been found were buried under at least six feet of snow, he said. Shams UI Rahman, the deputy governor of Badakshan province, expressed hope earlier in the day that some people might still be alive inside their homes. ASIA MOSCOW — Authorities in Moscow on Wednesday gave permission for another major protest rally this weekend, but one of the organizers warned that the turnout may be smaller than the huge throngs that came to previous demonstrations. A wave of rallies in Moscow attracted crowds as big as 100,000, a stunning show of public opposition to Vladimir Putin. But after Putin's election on Sunday to a new six-year term as president, the opposition's ability to maintain that momentum is in doubt. Putin won nearly 64 percent of the Throngs of dissenters gather after Putin's re-election vote but independent observers described widespread violations. A protest the day after the election drew some 20,000 people. The latest protest has been authorized for Saturday on Novy Arbat, one of Moscow's major avenues. But Boris Akunin, one of the rallies' organizers and a well-known novelists, said Wednesday that the "romantic phase of the protests is over" and he "would not be surprised" if the Saturday event attracted a smaller crowd, primarily made up of disgruntled observers who witnessed vote-rigging. "People have realized that you cannot oppose robots from the riot police with white ribbons, white balloons and funny flash mobs." Akunin told reporters. Several hundred people stayed on after Monday's rally but were swiftly dispersed and detained by riot policemen. "People are feeling a kind of stupr," Aukun said. "This is natural. People need some time to think things over." AFRICA U.N. official compares Khartoum's military to Darfur NAIROBI, Kenya — The former top U.N. humanitarian official in Sudan warned on Tuesday that Khartoum's military is carrying out crimes against humanity in the country's southern Nuba Mountains in acts that remind him of Darfur. Following a visit to the southern part of Sudan, Mukesh Kapila said he saw military planes striking villagers, the destruction of food stocks and "literally a scorched-earth policy." the Arab government targeted black tribes. Kapila served as the U.N.'s top humanitarian official in Sudan at the time. He said that world governments must now act to prevent another Darfur-type situation in the Nuba Mountains. "When we were there we heard an Antonov (plane) above us," he said. "Women and children started running and going into the nooks and caves of a mountain, a small hill rather. ... We saw a burned-out village. As we left the border there was burned place after burned place after burned place. There was hardly a person to be seen." Kapila said the Nuba Mountains region is facing an oncoming hunger crisis because the region's residents haven't been working the fields for fear of overhead attack by military planes. Sudan has refused to let aid agencies into the region. The U.N., the U.S. and other world governments and groups have condemned the attacks that are taking place against civilians. THEATER Cast of Williams' play describe experience CAROLINA SMITH AND MICHAEL HALL KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Sexual tension, booze and heartbreak shape young lives in the heat of summer. No, it's not the plot for Jersey Shore, but "Summer and Smoke", the Tennessee Williams play being put on by the University Theatre Department this week. TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Mrs. Winemiller portrayed by Chandra Owenby Hopkins teases Alma Winemiller portrayed by Laura Williams during Kansas' production of Summer & Smoke directed by theatre doctoral student Boone Hopkins. "Summer and Smoke" tells the story of the spiritual and sexual awakening of Alma Winemiller, the daughter of a preacher, who is trying to fight her long-time attraction to John Buchanan, Jr., a young doctor with a penchant for liquor and women. "I think that's a story that a lot of students can relate to," said Boone Hopkins, the play's director and a doctoral student. "How do we find ourselves within this mine field of sexuality and passion? We have whole classes about that here at KU." The play marks Hopkin's third time directing a University production, but he was particularly excited by this opportunity to stage a William's play that is often overlooked in favor of his more famous works. Laura Williams, a senior from Lawrence, plays Alma, a role that she was nervous about tackling since the story is told from her perspective and requires a wide range of intense emotion. "For me, the importance of finding the complexity and emotions came with time, and not with trying to capture them all at once," Williams said. Developing her character and collaborating with fellow students and cast members with professional experience made the experience educational, said Williams. Hopkins saw students' progress throughout rehearsals and performances last week. "These students bring such great energy because they're just so hungry to work on characters that are this complex," Hopkins said. Danny Devlin, a doctoral student from Fairfax, Virg., plays John. Before coming to the University, Devlin spent several years acting professionally in Washington D.C., where plays are often rehearsed for two weeks and then performed. For this production, the rehearsal schedule was slowed down to three and a half hours a day for six weeks. Adapting to being back in a University setting has been high point of this experience, said Devlin. "What I tried to do consciously when I came back to the University model was to relearn the enjoyment of character creation," Devlin said. He also couldn't resist the opportunity to star in a Williams play. "It it doesn't get any better than Tennessee Williams," Devin said. The play opened last week and showings continue in the CraftonPreyer Theatre in Murphy Hall at 7:30 on March 9 and 10 and at 2:30 p.m. March 11. Tickets are available from the Theatre department's website.

Brooks added through his spokeswoman. "This honor will stand beside being inducted into the Opry, playing the 100th anniversary of Cheyenne with Chris LeDoux and getting to be part of Oklahoma's centennial celebration." Brooks is the biggest-selling country artist of all time and ranks third on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of top-selling artists in all genres, behind only the Beatles and Elvis Presley. 3/08 Brooks has been tapped as this year's "modern era artist" inductee, while Smith fills the hall's "veterans era artist" slot and Robbins enters in the category for "recording and/or touring musician prior to 1980." The latter rotates every third year with "nonperformer" and songwriter inductees. Smith, who placed nearly 50 hits on the country music charts from 1964 to 1985, starting with the song that spent eight weeks at No. 1 in 1964. "Once a Day," said her induction is "so touching, it's difficult to find the words to express my gratitude." Last year, Smith put out her first new album in 13 years. "Long Line of Heartaches." "I am astounded and honored to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame," Brooks said in a statement. "At the same time, I can't help but feel guilty going in when there are so many deserving artists that came before me who are yet to be inducted." They will be formally welcomed into the Hall of Fame at an induction ceremony slated for later this year. Robbins, who played on hundreds of sessions in Nashville and elsewhere and toured with dozens of top country performers, said: "I've always considered myself lucky and I guess my good luck has struck again."

Rush Limbaugh recently called a female law student who was previously denied the opportunity to testify at a Congressional hearing about contraceptives a "slut," and a "prostitute" on his radio show. Birth control pill has more uses than contraception He didn't know the woman and had no information about her other than that she's a college student who thinks that her university should insure birth control in its health care plan for students. In addition to the offensive character of his remarks, Limbaugh lacks an important piece of this picture: preventing births isn't the sole reason women use birth control. Whether you've followed the recent debates dealing with contraception, used or thought about using contraception, it's important to know why women choose to go on birth control. Oral contraception, also called birth control, is taken by over 62 million women between the ages of 15 and 44. according to a November 2011 study by the Guttmacher Institute, which researches reproductive health worldwide. The study found that 49 percent of women who use contraception have at least one other reason to use some form of birth control. Birth control may be prescribed to help treat endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or to prevent endometrial and ovarian cancers. In endometriosis the uterine-lining tissue grows outside of the uterus. This condition has the potential to be painful and result in infertility. Birth control can help prevent the tissue growth and buildup, though it isn't a cure. PCOS is a hormone imbalance that can result in irregular cycles, acne, unwanted hair growth on the face and body, thinner hair on the head and even infertility. One out of 15 women is diagnosed with this disease. Oral contraceptives may be prescribed along with diet and exercise to fight the symptoms, but not as a cure. Using birth control continually for one to five years can also help lower a woman's chances of getting endometrial and ovarian cancers by 40 percent. A family history of other cancers may indicate that a woman has a higher chance of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Taking a contraceptive is just one way to help prevent a tumor from forming. Birth control can even help combat more common ailments. It's been used to help clear acne and combat painful menstrual symptoms such as cramps, bloating and breast tenderness. In the process, a contraceptive can shorten bleeding and regulate when it occurs. Contraceptives allow women who might otherwise contract painful diseases to not only live peacefully, but eventually have children. Although using birth control is not the only option to treat these diseases, it's an option chosen by a sizable number of American women. Before you take a stance on the birth control debate, think about the effects birth control has had on the lives of women who have used it for non-contraceptive purposes. Educate yourself on the issues they face if their birth control isn't covered by insurance or if it's restricted by governmental policies. Angela Hawkins for the Kansan Editorial Board FEMINISM Positions of power take commitment I was recently sitting in a committee hearing and a realization hit me. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was testifying before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, and I had managed to claim a seat between her secret service detail and a group of rather rambunctious protestors decked out in blinding yellow jackets. Mentally preparing myself for the partisan back and forth and political posturing that I've come to expect from most hearings, I was surprised to find how deeply respected the Secretary was by each of the senators present. Democrat or Republican, they took turns to praise her dedication, perseverance, vision, persistence, accessibility and ability to do so much on so little sleep. By Danielle Onions donions@kansan.com This last comment sparked a chain of thinking in my head that, I must admit, caused me to miss a comment or two. I wrote an article a couple of months ago discussing how far women had come in the United States and how far we still have to go. My editor had returned my draft and asked me to include solutions. "Where to even begin," I thought. Erasing centuries of imbalance doesn't come with Ikea-like instructions. But it was right before me in one of the more prestigious of the Senate committees. Foreign Relations might only boast a whopping two women out of nineteen members. Yet the most powerful person in the room was undoubtedly seated in front of Chairman John Kerry, and she was discussing everything from Iran to Keystone to cooking stoves. She was powerful, she was impressive, and to me she was intimidating. Not because she was cold or dismissive (quite the opposite, actually), but because as deeply inspiring as her work is, I know that I couldn't do it. I could, if I wanted. Anyone with her intelligence, passion, education, and work ethic could. But like her, they would have to operate on very little sleep, an incredibly demanding work and travel schedule, and constant public interpretation and analysis. Her position is not one for the thin-skinned or the faint of heart faint of heart. And it's also not designed for family life. And therein lies part of the explanation of why so few American women are in positions of power and a high-powered career path and raising a family. It is impossible to make both a priority without an extensive support system, including flexible, reliable child care and financial stability. After a few months on the Hill, I know just because they stop paying you at six o'clock doesn't mean you're out the door at that time. We've all heard about floor sessions that last until eight, ten, even two in the morning. It's not that women can't "have it all" as the cheerful slogan goes. Millions of American women juggle both family and a job. But the status quo makes positions of power and status difficult to obtain for those with family obligations. Millions of American women juggle both family and a job. But the status quo makes positions of power and status difficult to obtain for those with family obligations. A commitment to long, exhausting hours, little sleep complete focus, and unwavering dedication: a commitment similar to the one made by prospective parents, which explains why some are faced with a choice between following status. These positions are fulfilling and meaningful and demanding, and part of what they demand is absolute commitment. I may sigh about being late for dinner, but I don't have a day care provider waiting for me to come collect my child. If you're running a campaign for an elected office, it's not feasible to take a few days off when your child comes down with a fever. If you're clocking in sixty or seventy hours a week running a company, it makes it difficult to attend soccer games or parent teacher conferences. And while these choices apply to both mothers and fathers, they have disproportionately affected women. Onions is a junior in political science and women, gender, and sexuality studies from Shawnee. ENTERTAINMENT Celebrities use fame to alter profession By Dylan Lysen dlysen@kansan.com It has been six years, one headlining tour, 10 films, and a few Saturday Night Live acting appearances since Justin Timberlake has released any music. Timberlake may have been a featured singer for a couple of SNL's Digital Shorts with Andy Sandberg, but he has been missing in action when it comes to what made him famous. With all the great acting roles Timberlake has been in, it's obvious that he is trying to use his success with 'NSYNC and his solo career to catapult him to better opportunities. That's fine. That's what I expect from someone who has found so much success. When you are a famous face, people want to see it as much as possible. And that is exactly what Timberlake has done. There is just one question: why has Timberlake stopped making music? The same year Timberlake's last album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" was released; he was a supporting actor in the film "Alpha Dog". Although the film wasn't anything close to being Academy Award winning, Timberlake was able to show off his talent (or possibly just his fame) and secured many more acting roles afterwards. Timberlake would never look back; he hasn't released an album — not even a song — since 2006. Since then, Timberlake has hosted and guest starred on Saturday Night Live, he's been featured in many songs, he's been a supporting role in drama and comedy films, but he refuses to release his own music. And the reasoning isn't that shocking. It just happens to be easier to be Justin Timberlake: The Actor than it is to be Justin Timberlake: The Artist. If Timberlake were to release more music, he would need to sell those records. This would not be hard, because Timberlake was able to sell 10 million albums worldwide at the height of the illegal music download age. Acting allows Timberlake to live in Los Angeles or New York City, and have a less demanding travel schedule. He can walk to a different set at a large movie studio and act as a different form of Justin Timberlake and still make it home for the nightly news while making the same amount of money he would have making music. Timberlake has simplified his ability to make millions just by showing up; he no longer has to travel the world to collect a paycheck. Michael Jordan once quit basketball to pursue a dream in a different sport. His former coach Phil Jackson helped bring him back to basketball by telling Jordan he had a God-given talent, and by not playing, he was depriving the world of something great. Timberlake is one of the best and most popular pop music artists to ever live, and he is depriving the world of something great by not using his God-given talent. There is no doubt Timberlake could go into a studio and make an album that sells more than 10 million copies, but instead he's going to randomly show up on Saturday Night Live acting as a different singer and be funny just because. But how can you blame him? He makes millions of dollars for just being Justin Timberlake. And that's a tough gig to give up. lysen is a junior in journalism from Andover.

Conner McKay, freshman center fielder GAME TO REMEMBER McKay was crucial in the Jayhawks' five-run comeback. The freshman went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in the loss to North Dakota. McKay's second home run of the season brought the Jayhawks within four runs, and his RBI single in the seventh inning tied the game. MIAMI JETS GAME TO FORGET McKay Tanner Poppe, junior closer Poppe was dominant in his save on Tuesday, but his ninth inning debacle resulted in a blow save and loss for the Jayhawk close. Poppe has carried a huge workload early in the season, making four appearances in the last five games. North Dakota handed Poppe his second loss of the season, and his ERA jumped to an alarming 11.57. JOHN BARRETT QUOTE OF THE GAME Poppe "That's a devastating loss. That's a game we clearly we expect to win. When you fight back like that you got to close the deal." Ritch Price, coach PETER SCHNEIDER Price Freshmen prove their worth BASEBALI MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com Freshmen often struggle to leave a mark right away in college baseball. But the Kansas baseball team, one coach Ritch Price calls his youngest ever, can start up to four true freshmen on any given day. In the fifth inning, with two men on base and Kansas trailing North Dakota 8-4, it was freshman outfielder Michael Suiter who was at the plate with a 1-2 count and Kansas needing a big hit. The freshman turned on the two-strike pitch and hit a bomb over the left field fence for his second homer of the season to bring the Jayhawks within one run. Suiter's first blast of the season came the day before, also against North Dakota. "When you're buried that far McKay took a 1-0 pitch and drilled a single into left field to tie the game. The Jayhawks came all the way back from a Fighting Sioux lead that at one point was as many as five runs. The Jayhawks would go on to take a 9-8 lead in the seventh when senior designated hitter Chris Manship took a basesloaded walk. "That's a devastating loss," Price said. "That's a game we clearly expect to win. When you fight back like that, you've got to close the deal. That's what I was most disappointed with." Suiter then led off the seventh inning with a walk. He advanced to second on a fielder's choice and moved to third on junior catcher Alex DeLone's single. down, somebody has to put a great swing on a baseball and put a crooked number up." Price said. "And to have a freshman do it was a huge momentum builder for us." Needing a big hit with one out and the bases loaded, another freshman outfielder walked up to the plate. It was Conner McKay's turn to show that freshman can produce at the NCAA level. Not every baseball story ends on a good note for the home team. Junior reliever Tanner Poppe came on in the ninth to try and finish off the comeback. Poppe pitched a perfect ninth inning against North Dakota the day before, but this was his fourth outing in five days. The Fighting Sioux would score four times in the inning on four hits, but the Jayhawks didn't have another comeback in them. "I made a couple of swing adjustments with Phil and Ritchie, and I was really happy Price said this game will be a learning experience for the young Jayhawks. Price also said that the most important thing he can do is to stay patient with the team. Poppe was tired. For someone who usually pitches in the mid-to-upper 90s mph, Poppe only threw 91-92 mph, allowing North Dakota hitters to time the fastball. it came through in the game" McKay said. falling 12-9. McKay gets the coach's message. He said the team will take the field in Minnesota this weekend where everyone will be looking for hits with a chip on its shoulder. "I really wanted to finish this game on a positive note," McKay said. "Having it slip away from us was a little disheartening, but it will definitely be motivation for this weekend."

The Jayhawks begin their Big 12 tournament today at 2 p.m. against Texas A&M, a team they defeated twice this season in rather ugly fashion. In the first meeting between these teams Jan. 23 at Allen Fieldhouse, the Aggies led 30-28 at halftime, but eventually lost 64-54. In the other meeting on Feb. 22 in College Station, Texas, the Aggies nearly erased a 21-point second-half deficit, but the Jayhawks held on and won 66-58. PLAYER TO WATCH Travis Releford, guard In the regular season finale on Saturday at the Fieldhouse, Texas guard J'Covan Brown scored 33 points, 29 of which he tallied in the second half. While junior guard Elijah Johnson was PETER PARKIN Releford partly to blame, the main reason for Brown's success was Releford's failure to stop him. Coach Bill Self said that Releford has lacked the aggression that helped him thrive earlier in the season. Matched up tomorrow against Elston Turner and Khris Middleton, Releford will need to play with passion to succeed as a lockdown defender. How far can they go? QUESTION MARK The Jayhawks wowed even Self by losing just twice during a grueling Big 12 Conference schedule. They've had a few days to rest their legs, will the Jayhawks be fired up for the last stretch before the NCAA Tournament? To help save his team's legs, Self may assign extra minutes to forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley and guard Nadir Tharpe. This tournament will be about more than just winning games; it will be about staying healthy and energized for a long run in March. HEAR YE. HEAR YE "There are several teams in here that can get hot for three days or four days. I just hope we're the one that's the hottest." —Bill Selft COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Taylor KANSAS (25-5,16-2) STARTERS Johnson F. C. A. B. TYSHAWN TAYLOR. GUARD Dash Harris is fully healthy and certainly has the talent to hinder most guards, but quite simply, Taylor hasn't been most guards this year. He's been a scoring force who creates for his teammates and doesn't turn the ball over like old times. Harris is fast, but not fast like Taylor. --- Releford Jayhawks hope for third win Aggies struggle with inconsistency NO.3 KANSAS VS.TEXAS A&M 2 P.M., SPRINT CENTER, KANSAS CITY ELUAH JOHNSON, GUARD After Saturday's victory against Texas, Self said that Johnson looked sick. Self wasn't satisfied with Johnson's defense on J'Covan Brown. Johnson will face another challenge this afternoon in Elston Turner, the 6-foot-5 guard who can score from all over the court. ★★★★★ TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD Robinson Khris Middleton scored 23 points the last time these teams met. It will be Releford's job to make sure that doesn't happen again. If Releford is diving for loose balls and deflecting passes, the Jayhawks will be able to run and create easy scoring opportunities against a tough Aggies defense. ★★★☆☆ THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD 1 He fouled out in College Station earlier this season and after the game, Self was infuriated. Self thought that Robinson's technical foul was "inexplicable." Now Robinson has a chance to redeem himself on a neutral court. Still neck-and-neck with Kentucky's Anthony Davis for player of the year honors, Robinson knows that this is not the time to ease up. ★★★☆★ ★★★★ Withey In both games this season against the Aggies, Withey was exactly what his team needed, averaging 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6 blocks. The Aggies like to extend possessions and eat into the shot clock. Withey will help keep them away from the hoop when they do finally shoot it. JEFF WITHEY, CENTER ★★★☆☆ TEXAS A&M (27-4, 4-14) STARTERS ELSTON TURNER. GUARD Turner leads the Aggies with 13.8 points per game and had 14 points against Oklahoma last night. He was held to 10 points on 3-for-9 shooting in the last meeting with Kansas while playing 38 minutes but had 24 points in the first meeting on Jan. 23. Turner ★★★☆ DASH HARRIS, GUARD Harris isn't a great scorer but he might be the most important player on the Aggie roster. The senior point guard is in his third season of significant playing time and he's the leader offensively for Texas A&M. Missing seven games in the middle of the conference season was a crushing blow to the Aggie season. M. JAMES ★★★☆☆ Harris KEITH DAVIS, CENTER Davis is as close to invisible on offense as you can get, averaging just 1.3 points per game this season. He hasn't scored in the last five games and has a total of four points in the last ten. He's a big body down low and not much else. ★☆☆☆ KHRIS MIDDLETON. FORWARD Middleton is the one of the best offensive weapons for Texas A&M and is always a threat to have a huge night, not unlike his 23-point performance against Kansas recently. If he's able to get Thomas Robinson or Jeff Withey in foul trouble it could give the Aggies a chance at an upset. ★★★★☆ M. WILSON Middleton DAVID LOUBEAU. FORWARD The senior forward has finished with double figures in each of his last five games while playing more than 30 minutes on just one occasion. He shot 71.4 percent from the field against Oklahoma Wednesday night and had 15 points for the second straight game against the Sooners. ★★★☆☆ Loubeau Prediction Kansas 67, Texas A&M 63 KU ATM KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com TEXAS A&M TIPOFF ATM AT A GLANCE Injuries and inconsistent play derailed Texas A&M's chances of living up to its pre-season hype. The Aggies were picked by conference coaches to win the Big 12 along with Kansas but finished the year in ninth place. They ended the regular season on a five-game losing streak and had zero momentum heading into the conference tournament but bounced back to knock off eighth-seeded Oklahoma, 62-53 last night in an opening round game. At 14-17 overall, the Aggies will have to win the tournament to earn an NCAA tournament bid. They lost both regular season games against Kansas but both games were competitive throughout. The second meeting in College Station went down to the wire before Kansas eventually pulled away, 66-58. PLAYER TO WATCH Khris Middleton, forward Middleton Middleton averages 12.4 points per game and has been a solid contributor all three seasons in College Station. He had 14 points and seven rebounds. in the first round victory over Oklahoma and will need to have a big night for the Aggies to pull off the upset against Kansas this afternoon. He had 23 points in the second meeting with the Jayhawks on Feb. 22, his highest scoring game of the conference season MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com QUESTION MARK Will the offense show up? The Aggies have struggled to score all season and averaged just 56 points in two losses to Kansas. Bill Self said Texas A&M plays like Kansas with a defensive-first mentality. All the defense in the world is useless if you can't crack the 60-point mark, a number they've surpassed just 14 times this season. Junior guard Elston Turner and junior forward Khris Middleton can score consistently but after that there's a big drop off in offensive production. HEAR YE. HEAR YE.

After a victory against Oklahoma on Sunday, coach Bonnie Henrickson has talked about the bounce and pop that win gives them heading into the conference tournament. With the victory Kansas earned one more shot at the defending national champion Texas A&M to avenge two regular season losses. The Jayhawks will face the Aggies at 7:30 tonight in Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. The layhawks know this could decide their placement next weekend and which tournament they play in. But they also know that they have a chance to control all of that with a well-balanced game and victory against the Aggies. In the two previous games, Kansas lost by 11 points. Junior guard Angel Goodrich faces a challenge from Texas A&M point guard Sydney Carter who forced 11 turnovers in their first outing. Goodrich adjusted however and scored a game-high 28 points to show some toughness and resiliency. In their second match up three weeks later, Goodrich struggled again with seven turnovers and scored 11 points. In those two games, junior forward Carolyn Davis and junior guard Monica Engelman were the only other Jayhawks to score in double digits. Numerically, the losses look pretty similar, but Henrickson said they feel different. Those key differences are what they need to focus on this time. For example, she dissected the turnovers and compared them. In Lawrence, they were live ball turnovers that turned into layups allowing 19 points off turnovers. In College Station, they were offensive fouls, travels and three second calls They utilized a zone defense to slow down the Aggies, but need to limit high-percentage shots and easy layups. While Goodrich battles up top, the Kansas front court will have its own challenge taking on Aggie center Kelsey Bone who scored 18 and 26 points in the first two games. This only increases with Davis on the sideline. As the veteran in the post, senior forward Aishah Sutherland is leading the team in the stat columns and on the court with improved productivity and consistency. "It is important for everyone to step up." Sutherland said. "We lost a very big player so it is important for everyone to put in more than they did." Davis is preparing for surgery but is cheering on her teammates from the bench and has remained a factor in the development of the younger forwards. "Since our freshmen are getting so many minutes right now they don't really know what I know sitting on the bench so it is even better because I see more so I can help them and talk to them during the game," Davis said. One of the Jayhawks' biggest strengths right now is their versatility. In the end of the game against Oklahoma with three starters fouled out the Jayhawks were able to finish the game with 14 straight made free throws to seal the victory.

Chicago Bulls' Joakim Noah dunks against the Milwaukee Bucks during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Wednesday, in Milwaukee. The Bulls beat the Bucks with a shot at the last second. AP PHOTO Holding the ball for the last shot in a tie game, Rose pulled up just inside the 3-point line and hit it just as time expired. Rose was mobbed by his teammates near halfcourt, and cheered wildly by a predominantly pro-Bulls crowd. Rose scored 30 and Joakim Noah added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who have won eight straight. Ersan Ilyasova had a careerhigh 32 points and Drew Gooden added a season-high 27 for the Bucks, who were coming off a home win over Philadelphia on Monday. The Bulls held Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings to 11 points on 4 for 18 shooting. Jennings had scored 27-plus points in his previous three games coming into Wednesday. The Bulls have won all four meetings with the Bucks this season. With the game tied at 95, Noah scored on a tip-in. Jennings missed on the other end and Rose got out on the fast break, beating a pair of defenders for an acrobatic layup and a 99-95 lead with 2:33 left. Gooden hit a jumper to cut the lead back to two, but Luol Deng hit a three-pointer. Rose then lost the ball out of bounds, and officials initially Milwaukee's Beno Udrih got to the line, but hit only one of two free throws to cut the lead to four. After a Rose miss, another foul sent Udrih back to the line and he hit both to cut the lead to two. ruled it went off a Bucks player. After a replay review, the call was reversed and the ball went to the Bucks with 55.2 seconds left. Udhri then drove for a layup, tying the game with 42.9 seconds left. Rose drove on Jennings, then tried to hit a turnaround jumper — and drew a foul on Jennings and hit both shots for a 104-102 lead with 32.5 left. Ilyasova scored on a putback, tying the game again with 24 seconds left and setting the stage for Rose's last-second shot. Once again, the Bradley Center was taken over by Bulls fans — although Chicago's home-away-from-home-court advantage wasn't quite as pronounced as it was in the Bulls' Feb. 4 victory at Milwaukee, a Saturday night game that drew a sellout crowd comprised mostly of Bulls fans. Still, the Bucks received a jarring greeting when they took the floor before the game — mostly boos — and the crowd was decidedly pro-Bulls most of the game. The Bulls led 55-50 at half time.

PAGE 11 Arizona coach Sean Miller on commercialappeal.com FACT FACT OF THE DAY The NOAA Tournament Selection, also known as Selection Sunday, was first broadcast on live television in 1982. --- totalprosports.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: When did Joe Lunardi first coin the term "bracketologist?" A:1996 time.com (TIME Magazine) THE MORNING BREW Ideal matchups for March Madness A A. h, March. The best time of the year. Campus always seems to have an extra bounce during the month — an added buzz if you will. At the end of this week, that extra bounce and buzz will turn into a jumping roar. Selection Sunday is fast approaching. Teams will be placed in their respective slots, gearing up for the opportunity to bring home a championship. The bracket selecting is one of the most unique events in sports, as it sets a team up for glovy or gloom. Last year, the bracket came together perfectly for Kansas to make a deep tournament run. Instead, shock struck Lawrence as the Jayhawks were ousted by Virginia Commonwealth just one game short of the Final Four. Once again, Kansas will likely be a one seed, the target of its bracket. Here are the best two, three and four seeds the Jayhawks could possibly be matched with: By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com BEST POSSIBLE TWO SEED: DUKE What could motivate the Jayhawks more than a possible rematch with the Blue Devils? In their last meeting, the two played for the Maui Invitational Championship. This time, it could be for a trip to New Orleans for the Final Four. Kansas controlled much of the first game, before collapsing in the second half. If the two face off again, an improved Kansas team should have the edge heading into the game. Since the meeting with Kansas, Duke has lost five games, some of which have been suspect. Losses to Ohio State, Temple and Miami are major blemishes on the Blue Devils' record. BEST POSSIBLE THREE SEED: MICHIGAN Winning a share of the Big 10 championship is something to boast about, but the Wolverines don't quite have as much bite as other potential three seeds, like Baylor, Marquette or Georgetown. Regular season losses to Iowa and Purdue don't bode well, and the Wolverines only scored 49 points in their loss to rival Ohio State. While Big 10 games are typically low scoring, scoring 49 in a game is far from a desired result. BEST POSSIBLE FOUR SEED: FLORIDA STATE Florida State made some noise as KU a serious contender in the middle of the season, but its inconsistencies have come to light recently, making the match up favorable for Kansas. Florida State is a team that Kansas is not likely to overlook, and with some of the Seminoles marquee victories, the Jayhawks will have no choice but to play their hardest. While Florida State has wins over Duke, Virginia and North Carolina, they have also lost to Havard, Princeton, Boston College and Miami. No matter what, it won't be an easy road for Kansas. But still, Sunday's unveiling of the NCAA Tournament Bracket will go a long way in determining the Jayhawks Final Four hopes.

Matson cjmatson@kansan.com W When I think of March Madness, one character immediately pops to mind: Cinderella. Cinderella was a young woman who suffered from obscurity, injustice and negligence throughout much of her life until she finally overcome her challenges. People love the NCAA Tournament. They always enjoy seeing Cinderella knock her step-sisters out and bask in her glory because she never receives the honor and acknowledgement. Bucknell, Bradley, Northern Iowa and Virginia Commonwealth: They were all once Cinderella who ripped the hearts out of Kansas fans in the NCAA Tournament. Davidson was one shot away from being another Cinderella. Cinderella teams have been a thorn in the Jayhawks' side historically, and this year it's no different. OK, so I hate giving lajahways fan a scare, but the threat is real. Earlier Kansas lost to Davidson in Kansas City 80-74 and beat Long Beach State 88-80 in Lawrence. The Jayhawks' game against Davidson was probably the worst of the season. As for the game against the Long Beach State, the Jayhawks were offensively efficient, but too many turnovers and the inability to close the game made the victory bitter. Kansas fans should want their team to play against nationally- esteemed teams like Kentucky, Duke, etc., in the NCAA Tournament instead of mid-majors because they are more motivated and ravenous when they play teams that BCS schools. It's hard for a big name program like Kansas to get motivated to play against a mid-major team even if it's for a trip to the Final Four, as fans saw last season. Not to discredit VCU's performance against Kansas, but Kansas played its worst game of the season, shooting 35.5 percent from the court, 9.5 percent from behind the arc and a paltry 53.6 percent from the free-throw line. Statistically, Kansas was awful, but the team's effort and energy was just as bad. The Jayhawks were simply flat and lethargic. They simply overlooked and undermined Cinderella. For whatever reason, Kansas has not played well against Cinderellas, a.k.a mid-major teams. Cinderellas outplay and even outcoach Kansas. The Jayhawks are a squad that historically played to the level of their competition. I am not trying to belittle mid-majors by saying that Kansas plays down to them, but Kansas is one of the most prestigious basketball schools in country, so anything but an impressive victory would be a disappointment. It's one thing to win a game, but it's another to win by playing well. If Kansas played against a BCS school instead of a mid-major in last year's Elite Eight game, I firmly believe that they would have played much better and advanced to the Final Four. The Jayhawks have what it takes to go all the way, but they also did last year. Cinderella is waiting, and Jayhawk Nation hopes that her slipper won't fit this time around. BIG 12 TOURNAMENT SEE INSIDE FOR IN-DEPTH PREVIEW PAGE 8 BASEBALL REWIND JAYHAWKS CAN'T STOP FIGHTING SIOUX PAGE 6-7 Edited by Tanvi Nimkar 35 Infielder Chris Manship attempts to steal to second base during the second inning but is called out by the umpire. Manship had a first base hit earlier in the second inning. NORTH DAKOTA 12, KANSAS 9 TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN PITCHING PROBLEMS ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com Minutes after defeating Kansas 12-9 at Hoglund Ballpark, the North Dakota players were posing for pictures outside of the dugout. The Fighting Sioux (1-5) were no longer winless, and they wanted to remember their come-from-behind victory in Lawrence. The Kansas baseball team (6-6) entered the ninth inning leading North Dakota 9-8 with the hard-throwing Tanner Poppe coming in to close out the game. Desperate for their first win of the season, the Fighting Sioux knocked around Poppe for a four-run ninth inning and secured a three-run advantage over Kansas. Poppe (0-2) overmatched the North Dakota batters on Tuesday to earn his second save of the season, but Wednesday's outing was a far cry from a perfect ninth inning. "I think it was a matter that we pitched Poppe on Sunday," coach Ritch Price said. "And he went back-to-back this week. That's four out of five days, and that's the first time he has done it." North Dakota led Kansas by as much as five runs in the fourth inning before the Jayhawks chipped away and took a 9-8 lead in the eighth inning — only give it right back in the ninth. The team was unavailable to talk following the defeat, and Price was clearly disappointed after losing to a team like North Dakota. "I'll tell you what, that's a devastating loss," Price said. "There's no doubt about that. That's a game we're expected to win, and we got off to a really bad start from a pitching standpoint." Kansas' starting pitching had dip into his bullpen much earlier than he had wanted. Junior pitcher Jordan Luvisi came in to relieve Morovick, but he struggled to find the plate as well. Luvisi gave up three runs on two hits, walking three batters in 1.1 innings of work. When Luvisi left the game Kansas was trailing 8-3, and despite taking a late-game lead, been one of the most impressive points of the early season, leading the Big 12 in ERA through three weeks. Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick was 1-0 in two previous appearances, but he struggled with his command on Wednesday. Morovick lasted 2.1 innings after surrendering five runs on five hits and walking three batters. the early pitching struggles put the Jayhawks in too big of a hole offensively. "Today, Morovick got off to a really good start, and then he started missing down in the zone and didn't make an adjustment," Price said. "To me, he kind of continued to nibble at the perfect pitch, and it seemed like it was one walk after another." With a double-header against Stony Brook (5-3) scheduled for Friday, Price was forced to The Jayhawks will look to bounce back this weekend in Minneapolis, Minn., as they take on Stony Brook and Minnesota. Edited by Katie James MEN'S BASKETBALL Returning champs have room for improvement KORY CARPENTER With the regular season firmly in the past and another conference championship on the mantle, Kansas sets its sights on Kansas City and the Big 12 tournament. kcarpenter@kansan.com The Jayhawks earned the tournament's top seed for the ninth time in its 16-year existence and are looking to capture their 13th Big 12 tournament championship. "Going into the season, a lot of people didn't have faith in us because we lost so much last year," junior guard Travis Releford said Monday afternoon. "But if you think about it, all the guys that are playing, we've been here a while. We know what coach wants and we know how to run the system." Releford said the team has had something to prove since the beginning of the season because of doubting fans. A head-scratching loss to Davidson in December made Bill Self question just how good his team was, but a 16-2 league record and eighth consecutive conference regular season championship re-assorted Kansas as the cream of the crop in the Big i2. With possibly the thinnest and least talented bench of Self's tenure, the margin for error was rather small all season. Fortunately for fans, injuries and prolonged slumps from key players haven't been a factor. The team is 19-2 since that loss to Davidson but Self thinks the team still has room for improvement heading into postseason play. "I haven't been defending how I was at the start of the season and I feel that going into post-season that I can step it up a lot more," Releford said. "He knows that I can be that guy that can step up and stop someone on the opponent's team." He's stressed the importance of finding a "defensive stopper" on numerous occasions and admitted his words were a message to a few players. Self said great defense was all about a person's mindset, not something a team can just decide to practice one week and magically get better at. He thinks Releford, junior guard Elijah Johnson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor can all improve defensively. But the month of March brings more than just on-court adjustments. "I think distractions have more to do with you winning or not winning at this time of year than anything else," Self said. "Mature guys basically cut everybody off. Mature coaches cut everybody off, and that's not easy to do at all. Those are the things I probably worry about more than anything else." In the short term, the biggest distraction might be the talks of a possible meeting between Kansas and Missouri in the tournament championship Saturday night. "It would be great," Self said. "Because that means we won two games."

Free State High School will host the local Kansas Republican Presidential Caucus Saturday. According to a fact sheet provided by University of Kansas College Republicans' president Ashley Moretti, students who are 18 years or older by March 10 registered as a Republican before Feb. 17 can vote at Free State High School on Saturday, as long as they live in the same congressional district as the University. If students don't live in the same congressional district as the University, they can still vote in a provisional ballot at the local site. Voters should bring a valid ID, which will prove state residency.

He said Evangelical Christians and other very conservative Republicans are more likely to vote during a caucus, because they are more willing to take the extra time. Lynch said this demographic of voters supported Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election and will most likely support Santorum this year. Presidential candidates Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will appear on the ballot. Burdett Loomis, a University professor in political science, said he predicted Rick Santorum will probably be favored in the Kansas Caucus, because he has a strong support from social conservatives. "The general rule is that strongest supporters are the ones that come out," Loomis said. Lynch said caucuses last longer than regular primaries, because voters have the opportunity to hear Index contents, unless stated otherwise; © 2012 The University Daily Kansan Lynch also said voters who arrive at 10 a.m. will have to listen to about 30 minutes of speeches before voting. Speeches will repeat through out the voting period, and voters should expect the high school to be crowded, as there is only one caucus site in Lawrence. "You aren't just showing up and voting." Lynch said. Loomis said Mitt Romney, who took a lead over other candidates on Super Tuesday, has a strong chance of wining the GOP nomination, but Santorum is not far behind. "If Santorum wins Kansas and couple other states, he can argue it's not over," he said. Loomis said Kansas' role in the presidential election is greater during the GOP primaries, because Kansas is a traditionally Republican state. "Presidential politics will leave the state after Saturday," he said. Edited by Corinne Westeman Don't forget Tabling and organization visits for Student Senate elections will begin Monday.

There's not a class period that goes by that someone doesn't sneak a peek at their cell phone, or give in to the enticing distraction that is social media and pull up Facebook behind their note-taking Word document. After all, if you've seen "The Social Network," you know who created Facebook—a college student. And who did it cater to? College students. { From the Editor } H H humans are social animals, and college students seem to be a breed quite their own. You can't The stereotypical 18-24 year old college student is extremely social, will go to a party or a bar as often as time and the body will allow and has no hesitations voicing his or her opinions to anyone else. It takes about one day on campus as a college student to see that that generalization just doesn't hold true. Remember that awkward moment when a professor asks a question and the entire class sits there in silence at odds with him or her, waiting for the professor to move on while the professor waits just as stubbornly for some response or sign of life from the students? Personally, I'm one of those students who has no qualms speaking up and offering my opinion. But after so many seconds of silence, I too find myself uncomfortably squirming, not knowing how to break the self-conscious still that's settled over the classroom. Why is it that students spent so much of their free time socializing, yet freeze up when offered a legitimate intellectual platform to voice their thoughts and opinions? If this is another question that's answered with silence, check out Kelsea's feature story on social anxiety and how it can affect our relationships, professional and education roles, and our lives. Not everyone needs to be an extroverted genius to be successful, but as the great poet Virgil said, "Fortune favors the bold."

"Going into the season, a lot of people didn't have faith in us because we lost so much last year," junior guard Travis Releford said Monday afternoon. "But if you think about it, all the guys that are playing, we've been here a while. We know what coach wants and we know how to run the system." The Jayhawks earned the tournament's top seed for the ninth time in its 16-year existence and are looking to capture their 13th Big 12 tournament championship. A head-scratching loss to Davidson in December made Bill Self question just how good his team was, but a 16-2 league record and eighth consecutive conference regular season championship re-assorted Kansas as the cream of the crop in the Big 12. Releford said the team has had something to prove since the beginning of the season because of doubting fans. The team is 19-2 since that loss to Davidson but Self thinks the team still has room for improvement heading into postseason play. "I haven't been defending how I was at the start of the season and I feel that going into post-season that I can step it up a lot more," Releford said. "He knows that I can be that guy that can step up and stop someone on the opponent's team." He's stressed the importance of finding a "defensive stopper" on numerous occasions and admitted his words were a message to a few players. But the month of March brings more than just on-court adjustments. Self said great defense was all about a person's mindset, not something a team can just decide to practice one week and magically get better at.

Couples Advice: ABIGAIL MOTT AND CALEB WHITEHEAD // SASHA LUND When Abigail Mott, a sophomore from Eudora, went to visit her twin sister at Pittsburg State University last year, she certainly didn't expect to meet her boyfriend of 16 months, Caleb Whitehead, a sophomore from Alton, Ill. Abigail said she saw Caleb in passing, but it wasn't until she saw him at a fraternity party later that night that she got to know him. "Her sister was being a Debbie Downer and wanted to go home, but Abby didn't, so she asked me to hang out with her and get her home safely because she thought I was a good guy," Caleb says. "It's definitely more fun to live two doors apart than two hours," Abigail says. Abigail and Caleb, who both consider themselves movie buffs, dated long-distance for a while, until Whitehead transferred to KU last fall. They both live in scholarship halls on campus. Abigail says they weren't sure how their relationship would change when he moved to Lawrence, but now they value spending time together because they didn't have that in the past. JULIE & STEVE CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Dating tip: Focus on the positive and appreciate each other. 12 Abigail says the key to their relationship is making each other smile and laugh. For fun, the couple likes to attend sporting events at KU because they are both huge Jayhawk fans. Although Abigail says they may argue over whether to see an action movie or a romantic comedy, there's nothing a good talk and a bowl of ice cream can't fix. "In the grand scheme of things, once you talk about a problem, it doesn't seem to matter anymore," Abigail says. e: Student Senate Finance Committee fee 回 3 03 08 12 rease ed by Senate reserve, so any fees for S mittee also senate assist aple of KU kating $1,631 costs.

Free State High School will host the local Kansas Republican Presidential Caucus Saturday. According to a fact sheet provided by University of Kansas College Republicans' president Ashley Moretti, students who are 18 years or older by March 10 registered as a Republican before Feb. 17 can vote at Free State High School on Saturday, as long as they live in the same congressional district as the University. If students don't live in the same congressional district as the University, they can still vote in a provisional ballot at the local site. Voters should bring a valid ID, which will prove state residency. Index KANSAS CAUCUS FORMS OF VALID ID: - A Kansas Driver's License or no-driver's identification card - A concealed carry of handgun or weapon license - A US Passport - An employee of identification document issued by a government employer Source: Kansas Federation of College Republicans All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2012 The University Daily Kansan - A public assistance identification card issued by a government office - A student identification card issued by an accredited postsecondary institution of education in the state of Kansas Presidential candidates Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romeny, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will appear on the ballot. Burdett Loomis, a University professor in political science, said he predicted Rick Santorum will probably be favored in the Kansas Caucus, because he has a strong support from social conservatives. "The general rule is that strongest supporters are the ones that come out," Loomis said. Lynch said caucuses last longer than regular primaries, because voters have the opportunity to hear speeches supporting each candidate on the ballot before they cast their votes. He said Evangelical Christians and other very conservative Republicans are more likely to vote during a caucus, because they are more willing to take the extra time. Lynch said this demographic of voters supported Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election and will most likely support Santorum this year. He said students who want to vote in Saturday's caucus should expect to spend more time at the polls than they would during other elections. Don't forget Loomis said Kansas' role in the presidential election is greater during the GOP primaries, because Kansas is a traditionally Republican state. Loomis said Mitt Romney, who took a lead over other candidates on Super Tuesday, has a strong chance of wining the GOP nomination, but Santorum is not far behind. "Presidential politics will leave the state after Saturday," he said. Lynch also said voters who arrive at 10 a.m. will have to listen to about 30 minutes of speeches before voting. Speeches will repeat through out the voting period, and voters should expect the high school to be crowded, as there is only one caucus site in Lawrence.

Volume 124 Issue 114 kansan.com Friday, March 9, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M I LOVE Choosing abstinence //ALIZA CHUDNOW Despite pressure from the outside world, students uphold their decision to remain abstinen When I first decided I wanted to write a story about students and couples who choose to remain abstinent until marriage, people looked at me like I was crazy. I received comments like. "It's only after marriage when the abstinence kicks in" or "An abstaining couple in Lawrence? Good luck." This just made me more determined to prove these comments wrong. I knew on a campus filled with 26,266 students, there had to be those who were proud to go through college without succumbing to the pressures many students face when it comes to having sex. Rachael Ryan, a 2009 KU graduate and intern for Cru, a spiritual resource for students on campus, was raised in a home and school environment where remaining abstinent was the norm. At 13, her parents gave her a purity ring that read, "true love waits," and by the time she was a freshman in college, she still hadn't experienced her first kiss. "I remember my freshman year sitting around in my sorority. There were a bunch of seniors that were like 'Oh my gosh, you've never kissed a guy. We're going to make that happen.'" Ryan savs. Different people tried to convince her to "shack" at a guy's house or have someone stay the night at hers, but one thing Ryan says she was blessed with was confidence to stand firm in her convictions and not let a few people's comments get to her. "With people's reactions I felt different, but with my strong will, I felt okay with being different," Ryan says. "I wanted people to know that I was okay with who I was." During the summer of 2008, Ryan met her now-husband Billy Ryan while interning as seasonal workers at Walt Disney World. They both maintained the same views on sex and didn't end up sharing their first kiss until three months before they were engaged. Looking back now, they both realize that they were missing a sense of intimacy by not kissing, but they do not regret their decision. "Billy is the only man I have kissed, the only man I have had sex with and the only man I will ever be in love with," Ryan says. While Ryan never succumbed to the pressures she faced regarding abstinence, there are still demands from the outside world to stray away from this choice. Some of these pressures can be associated not only with the college environment, but also from the extreme emphasis the media and society places on sex in general. Christine Eckley, an External Affairs Administrator for the National Abstinence Education Association, says that because having sex is perceived as the norm, there is more encouragement to indulge in it. "College is the first time many students have been on their own, and for several, a time to determine what their values really are," Eckley said. "Most communication they receive, even from the University itself, encourages sexual experimentation. There is little to no information that points to abstinence." Right before starting her freshman year at KU, Bridget Lamb, a senior from Exton, Penn., decided that she was going to stay abstinent until marriage. In high school, Lamb knew she didn't want to get used or hurt by guys. As she began to further explore her religion and learn more about God, she began to understand why she was making this choice. "The Bible says in numerous places that in marriage, a man and a wife become one flesh," Lamb says. "To me, that's one, a representative of your relationship; and two, the physical act of sex." Lamb has been dating her boyfriend, Jono Bowles, a 2011 KU graduate from Lawrence, for two years and believes that not having sex forces them to get creative with their relationship. Her favorite date they have shared was when they took the popular song "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band and acted out every line. "Sometimes it's not all about the physical things that show you love each other," Lamb says. "There is always the desire to have sex, but we made a choice not to and that is factual about us, so it is not even an option." Being at KU for the last three and a half years has taught Lamb that everybody has their own opinions on sex. She has never felt pressure from her friends to do something she wasn't comfortable with, and she never thought her choice was weird. While she was lucky to never deal with others criticisms regarding her decision, Lamb believes that it can sometimes be hard to rid the common labels when living in a college environment. "Like drinking and blowing off class, sex is another college stereotype," Lamb says. "It takes a strong, college student to base their opinions not on what society tells them to do, but what they want to do."

LUKE RANKER lranker@kansan.com According to a fact sheet provided by University of Kansas College Republicans' president Ashley Moretti, students who are 18 years or older by March 10 registered as a Republican before Feb. 17 can vote at Free State High School on Saturday, as long as they live in the same congressional district as the University. If students don't live in the same congressional district as the University, they can still vote in a provisional ballot at the local site.

"The general rule is that strongest supporters are the ones that come out," Loomis said. He said students who want to vote in Saturday's caucus should expect to spend more time at the polls than they would during other elections. Burdett Loomis, a University professor in political science, said he predicted Rick Santorum will probably be favored in the Kansas Caucus, because he has a strong support from social conservatives. speeches supporting each candidate on the ballot before they cast their votes. He said Evangelical Christians and other very conservative Republicans are more likely to vote during a caucus, because they are more willing to take the extra time. Lynch said this demographic of voters supported Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election and will most likely support Santorum this year. Loomis said Kansas' role in the presidential election is greater during the GOP primaries, because Kansas is a traditionally Republican state. Loomis said Mitt Romney, who took a lead over other candidates on Super Tuesday, has a strong chance of wining the GOP nomination, but Santorum is not far behind.

Jaymie traveled to Las Vegas for three weeks that summer and made appearances with the other Miss USA contestants, and on June 19, 2011, Jaymie competed in the pageant. She did not place among the top contestants, but still had a wonderful time and met some amazing people. Now back at KU studying journalism, Jaymie has great stories and memories to share from her time representing the sunflower state as Miss Kansas USA. WHAT WAS A DAY IN THE LIFE LIKE TO BE MISS KANSAS? When I was Miss Kansas USA, my life was pretty hectic. On an average day I would get up, go to the gym for two hours, come back and get hair and makeup ready for an appearance at an elementary school, and then at night I would watch the news for about two hours to stay up to date on current events. Some days I would have meetings with my pageant directors and I would practice interview questions, work on walking on stage and design my evening gown and my other wardrobe for Miss USA. WHO WAS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CELEBRITY YOU MET WHEN YOU WERE PARTICIPATING IN MISS KANSAS? I look for someone who can make me laugh. I think in a relationship it's important to joke around and be yourself around them. I search for someone I can feel comfortable around. While being Miss Kansas USA I had to be dressed up with hair, makeup, heels and dresses but I think it is important to find someone who you feel comfortable wearing sweatpants and no makeup around. I was given the opportunity to meet Donald Trump in New York City. He may not be the most attractive celebrity, but he sure was a flirt! Everyone always asks me what his hair looked like up close and I must say it was not as bad as it looks on TV. Mr. Trump was a very pleasant man and was not as harsh as I thought he was going to be. The first thing he said to me after he shook my hand was "Wow, you are tall!" (I am 5'11"). WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DATE SPOT IN LAWRENCE? Whether it's going out to dinner, going shopping, or just going on a walk I think Mass. Street is such a fun place to have a date. There are so many options there and the walk is beautiful. WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO YOU SEARCH FOR IN GUYS? DID YOU GET MORE ATTENTION FROM GUYS WHEN THEY FOUND OUT YOU WERE MISS KANSAS? I did notice a bit more attention from guys when they found out I was Miss Kansas USA, but it didn't matter to me. My boyfriend, Tyler (a KU junior), and I have been dating for almost two years and we started dating before I even won the title. I don't want a guy that only wants to talk to me because I was Miss Kansas USA and I feel lucky to have found Tyler before this whole experience. because they are more motivated and ravenous when they play teams that BCS schools. It's hard for a big name program like Kansas to get motivated to play against a mid-major team even if it's for a trip to the Final Four, as fans saw last season.

The Jayhawks have what it takes to go all the way, but they also did last year. Cinderella is waiting, and Jayhawk Nation hopes that her slipper won't fit this time around. If Kansas played against a BCS school instead of a mid-major in last year's Elite Eight game, I firmly believe that they would have played much better and advanced to the Final Four. on Kansas City and the big 12 tournament. — Edited by Tanvi Nimkar "Going into the season, a lot of people didn't have faith in us because we lost so much last year," junior guard Travis Releford said Monday afternoon. "But if you think about it, all the guys that are playing, we've been here a while. We know what coach wants and we know how to run the system." The Jayhawks earned the tournament's top seed for the ninth time in its 16-year existence and are looking to capture their 13th Big 12 tournament championship. A head-scratching loss to Davidson in December made Bill Self question just how good his team was, but a 16-2 league record and eighth consecutive conference regular season championship re-assorted Kansas as the cream of the crop in the Big 12. Teleford said the team has had something to prove since the beginning of the season because of doubting fans. "I haven't been defending how I was at the start of the season and I feel that going into post-season that I can step it up a lot more," Releford said. "He knows that I can be that guy that can step up and stop someone on the opponent's team." The team is 19-2 since that loss to Davidson but Self thinks the team still has room for improvement heading into postseason play. He's stressed the importance of finding a "defensive stopper" on numerous occasions and admitted his words were a message to a few players.

Flaherty, a junior from St. Louis, and Elizabeth Najim, president of JWO and a junior from Wichita, are more interested in sharing information about the safety and empowerment of women than taking a stance on political gender issues. The organization began just five weeks ago when Najim had the idea to start a campus group for empowering women and raising awareness about health and safety issues for women Though JWO is in its beginning stages, Najim sees several opportunities for the group in the future. The group plans to host guest speakers at monthly group meetings and participate in other events like self-defense classes. Najim also wants to host several community service events, are participants could volunteer at places like the Willow Domestic Violence Center. One of the first official JWO events will be hosting the touring film festival Lunafest. A joint znt with GaDuGu SafeCenter, a victim-centered service center for women, Lunafest will be Lake Farm Maureen Flaherty and Elizabeth Najim at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 22 at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The festival is "for women, by women, about women." The group is focused on women's empowerment, but JWO encourages men to join the group to improve their attitudes about women. The information on women's health and safety could increase men's awareness and sensitivity to the issues the women in their lives deal with.

Survival Skills: Building relationships with roommates //ALLISON BOND Caitlin Buss remembers Harry Potter and Twilight movie nights, roommate dinners and walking trips to Dairy Queen, double-fisting delicious blizzard treats on the way back to the house on Massachusetts Street where she lived with three other girls last year. "It was a really awesome experience," Buss says. "There was always someone in the house. It's nice to have that girl time. I miss having that 'Oh my god, this happened at school today' kind of thing." Buss and the three girls built roommate relationships with fun traditions like roommate Christmas. "We set aside one day to get together and exchange gifts. First year, the rule was to wear leggings with pants and Old Navy slipper socks. We all hated seeing leggings as pants," Buss says. But what really built roommate relationships was purposefully doing daily activities together like having house dinners, doing homework in the living room together, or finding that one TV show that everyone likes. "It's also good to plan for the practical things," Buss says. "Like. Who is going to take out the trash or buy the toilet paper?" Glenn Adams, a social psychology professor, says that while roommates can provide several practical benefits like a social network or sharing household responsibilities, they can also be sources of friction. Adams says that rooming with friends doesn't work out and can create added stresses. There is no one answer for avoiding friction between roommates. Buss says that bathroom time was the hardest part of having four girls living in the same house with one bathroom. "It was rough when we would have to get up at the same time for class and all spending a long time in the bathroom," Buss says. Despite stresses that roommates can bring, Buss found that the good outweighed the bad. "The Mass Girls" even made their own Twitter tag modeled off "Shit My Dad Says." Using the #massgirlbanter hash tag, the roommates post funny quotes that each other say. One example LADY MICHELLE PARKER is "There's nothing I hate more in the morning than opening my mouth for things other than my toothbrush and cereal." Or, "Finding chocolate on your notes is like confessions of a secret fat kid."

He said the ordinance shouldn't affect bars because people are already prohibited from leaving drinking establishments with open containers.

HOW SOCIAL ANXIETY AFFECTS US AND HOW WE CAN MAKE IT GO AWAY THE ANXIOUS MIND SPEACH DAYS // KELSEA ECKENROTH 'm sitting in a classroom with about 20 other students. The professor asks us a question. A few seconds go by, and no one speaks up. The truth is - and no one speaks up. The truth is that I know the answer, and it's on the tip of my tongue, but every time I open my mouth to speak I can't find my voice. My stomach feels like it's full of butterflies, my body gets hot and my heart is pounding out of my chest. I'm paralyzed by my anxiety. Finally the girl sitting a few rows in front of me answers the question with my exact thoughts. She was correct. I sit there disappointed because of my failure to simply state an answer. Why didn't I say anything? I tell myself I'll just speak up next time, but I know I won't. I never do. This is how it's been my entire life. I've always had anxiety in the classroom and around people I don't know. I remember my sixth-grade teacher getting mad at me because he didn't understand why I never volunteered to solve our morning math problem on the white board in front of the class. I was afraid of being wrong and felt comfortable remaining invisible. Now I'm a senior in college, and my fear of speaking in class brings down the 10 percent of my participation grade . Speaking in front of a group of people I don't know, whether it's giving a presentation or just giving an answer to a question, scares the hell out of me.

Volume 124 Issue 114 kansan.com Friday, March 9, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK ROBLASON 0 Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M at the Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment, says is probably the most common type of anxiety. WHAT IS SOCIAL ANXIETY? Smith says about 20 percent of college students have social anxiety. The National Institute of Mental Health defines social anxiety among adults as "a persistent, intense, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and feeling embarrassed or humiliated by their actions." This fear can become so severe that it interferes with work, school and other activities. People who have social anxiety have the fear of appearing negatively to others and have certain thinking patterns and thoughts. Smith says one of the thinking patterns is called mind reading, which is when someone assumes everyone else is thinking something negative about them. People with social anxiety tend to overestimate the amount of attention people are paying to them and spend a lot of time in their own heads evaluating what they say and do, as well as what they will do next. They don't want to say something embarrassing or look dumb. HOW IT AFFECTS PEOPLE It's normal for everyone to experience some sort of anxiety, especially in situations such as giving a presentation or speaking in public. Smith says social anxiety is a continuum. "Someone can be socially anxious without crossing the social anxiety disorder threshold," she says. "If the anxiety is interfering with a person's functioning, or causing a person to not have the social life they want to have, then it's a disorder." Social anxiety can cause major interference in the life of college students, says Ron Rapee, a psychology professor from Sydney whose research focuses on anxiety and author of "Overcoming Shyness and Social Phobia: A Step by Step guide." Rapee says at lower levels, social anxiety might affect class presentations or talking to professors and other people of authority. On a higher level, social anxiety can start affecting friendships and limit romantic relationships as well as lead to perfectionism and difficulty with assignments. At the highest level, Rapee says social anxiety can stop people from coming to class and might lead to severe loneliness and isolation, and eventually cause students to drop out of school. Social anxiety has physical symptoms, including sweating, rapid heart rate, blushing, shaking, difficulty breathing. dry mouth and an upset stomach. Erin Gomer, a senior from Bonner Springs, says when she attempts to speak in class she gets nervous and feels like she is blushing. "Instead of just talking, its easier not to talk because I don't like the nervous and uncomfortable feeling," she says. Gomer hasn't been diagnosed with the disorder, but she says she gets anxious when she is around a lot of people on campus. Social situations are easier for Gomer than being in the classroom. When Gomer is in social situations she can tell who the other shy people are in the group and sparks up conversation with them. "Socially you can pick the topic and comment on their shoes or something. It's really easy to start a conversation. If you're in a classroom you can't control the conversation," she says. When Katie Copeland, a senior from Dallas, was in high school she hardly ever spoke in class and didn't look at people when she walked down the hallway. She always thought they were judging her. Copeland was diagnosed with social anxiety her sophomore year of high school. She says her anxiety has gotten better since she came to college, but Copeland's anxiety still finds its way back to her. Some days she will be so anxious she won't want to leave her apartment. Other days it won't bother her at all. If Copeland doesn't like what she is wearing one day, she will worry everyone around her is looking at her and secretly criticizing the way she looks. She goes the entire day only thinking about that and nothing else. "I know that that it's not true and that they have more important things going on and are not focused on me, but I just can't get that thought out of my head that they are only focused on my stupid hairdo that day," she says. Listening to a good song on her iPod and reminding herself that the people around her aren't looking at her help Copeland relax. HOW TO DEAL WITH IT Medication is available to help ease anxiety. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, or SSRI, are medications that can be prescribed for people with severe anxiety, but they take three to six weeks to start working. Anxiety medications called benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Valium and Librium, can be prescribed for anxiety as well. If you take anxiety medications on a regular basis, there's a risk that you can become addicted to them, says Russ Settle, a psychiatrist from Colorado. Settle says if you think your anxiety is so severe that you need medication, you should consider going to a professional, such as a psychiatrist, to help diagnose your level of anxiety. If you take medication, he recommends going to counseling or therapy as well because the chances of getting better with solely medication aren't as great. Ron Rapee says to change your thought patterns and expose yourself to those situations that cause anxiety until you are used to them. The treatments are practical and based on learning new coping skills. Learning to think more realistically, getting good feedback from trusted others, reading self help books and gradually facing the situations that make you frightened over and over again are all ways Rapee says will help overcome social anxiety. This kind of treatment has helped me. Majoring in journalism and interviewing many different people for the stories I write has helped me become more confident and less anxious around people I don't know. When I took my first journalism class that involved interviewing strangers, I wanted to drop the course and even thought about changing my major. I decided I had to deal with my fear and forced myself to continue with my class.I realized I enjoy talking to new people and hearing what they have to say. SOCIAL ANXIETY IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD I have become more confident being the interviewer,but when the tables are turned and I am the one being interviewed, I get anxious. I stumble over my words and have to keep digging into my mind until I find the right words. A successful job interview is something that I need after graduation and I'm going to need to figure out how to have one without letting my anxiety take over. Davis Gaston, director of the University Career Center,says preparing for future job interviews you will face after graduation is important and will help ease the anxiety that comes before and during the interview. Gaston tells the students he works with that they need to be as prepared as possible for the questions that they may be asked to alleviate the unknown. Gaston savs to: -Prepare and try to figure out what the interviewer is going to ask. -Know as much information about the employer as possible. - Think of a job interview as a discussion and find a good conversation so the interviewer can see your real personality. Anxiety can hide the real you. - If your hands sweat when you get nervous, put tissues in your pockets before you go in for the interview. You can stick your hands in your pockets to dry them off before your shake hands with someone. People with social anxiety can get overlooked in the job world because they aren't reaching out and don't seek as much promotion. Michael Haderlie, a clinical psychology resident (which means he holds a doctorate in psychology and is working towards getting his license), says people with social anxiety tend to be underemployed despite their skill levels. Someone with the same credentials who doesn't have social anxiety can make more money and have a better career path. 11 "There are some people with social anxiety that are successful. If people are willing to put an effort into treating social anxiety and treat social anxiety correctly, then they can overcome it," Haderlie says. It's normal to have anxiety when you have to give a speech or presentation to the class. Chelsea Graham, a graduate teaching assistant who teaches two sections of COMS 130, provided these tips about public speaking; -Don't practice speaking while sitting down or lying in bed. Stand up like you are delivering the speech. -Practice in front of other people. You can read their facial expression and have them critique your 'speech delivery. - Visualize the classroom where you will be giving your speech and think of yourself making a successful speech. - Exercise the morning before your speech or presentation to get out the extra energy. - Realize that you aren't the only one in the classroom who's nervous about speaking. Even instructors can sometimes get nervous when they have to present to the class. - Know your material and what points you want to make. The more you know your outline and the information you want to cover, the easier it will be.

University assistant professor of political Science Michael Lynch said the Kansas caucus is more important in this election than in past elections, because the Presidential candidate has usually been determined before the Kansas caucus is held. According to a fact sheet provided by University of Kansas College Republicans' president Ashley Moretti, students who are 18 years or older by March 10 registered as a Republican before Feb. 17 can vote at Free State High School on Saturday, as long as they live in the same congressional district as the University. If students don't live in the same congressional district as the University, they can still vote in a provisional ballot at the local site.

Loomis said Mitt Romney, who took a lead over other candidates on Super Tuesday, has a strong chance of wining the GOP nomination, but Santorum is not far behind. "Presidential politics will leave the state after Saturday," he said. Lynch also said voters who arrive at 10 a.m. will have to listen to about 30 minutes of speeches before voting.

But after walking upstairs, you'll see a gallery off in the southwest corner of the store, filled with neon-colored drawings, paintings and sculptures. The exhibit "Chop Chop" by Lee Piechocki and Matt Jacobs is full of neon colors and peculiar scenes, reminiscent of pop art. The artists collaborated their works for the display, using various unconventional elements to create the scene, from acrylic paint and clothespins to Tic Tacs and pencil erasers shaped like skulls. Piechocki had a range of inspirations for his work and made it a goal to fill one sketchbook a week, he says in a statement from the Wonder Fair. The series of eclectic drawings "I've Been Crazy This Week" came from a conversation overheard on the subway one day, in which a woman was complaining about her hectic schedule, for example. Much of Jacob's art came from an eight-week artist's residency in Seydifjörður, Iceland, where the residency gave Jacobs time, space and facilities to make art. Since materials were limited, Jacobs says he would do things out of curiosity, like see what he could make with just one piece of paper, for example. Many times, his drawings would relate to his sculptures and back again, but this time in a less literal way. "It still looks like my work, and you can see a connection between the two. I just had different materials to convey the same ideas." Jacobs says. Although it may look spontaneous (and some of it is), Meredith Moore, co-owner of the Wonder Fair, says that the artists were actually quite particular in creating each display. "He thinks really hard about where to put that candy cane or that glob of paint." A MAP THAT KNOWS YOUR WALLET.

Volume 124 Issue 114 kansan.com Friday, March 9, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M ENTERTAINMENT Movie Review A Dangerous Method CATHERINE MAYER // LANDON MCDONALD David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method" is a scintillating psycho-sexual safari masquerading as another drab period piece, trading powdered wigs and petticoats for riding crops, tightly laced corsets and feral erotica. From sci-fi classics like "Videodrome" and "The Fly" to his masterpiece "A History of Violence," the Canadian auteur has long been obsessed with the concept of bodily deformation or decay as a metaphor for the moral corrosion of the soul. Now he's finally tackling one of the driving influences behind his "body horror" fixation: the story of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud's tumultuous friendship and the eventual schism that precipitated the birth of modern psychology. The story centers on Jung (Michael Fassbender) and his ill-advised decision to take one of his mental patients as a mistress. The girl in question is the alluring Sabrina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), the brilliant but unhinged masochist who would go on to become one of the Soviet Union's leading psychoanalysts. Haunted by his unethical desires, Jung retreats to Vienna and quickly ingratiates himself to Freud (Viggo Mortensen), whose theories of the unconscious mind are already being met with admiration and infamy. Their talks together are fascinating, ranging from intellectual jousing to the deepest of existential musings. Then Sabrina arrives in Vienna like a heat wave, and all sense of propriety between the two men quickly evaporates. Knightley is a physical marvel, contorting her body into a writhing, rickety tangle of limbs that simultaneously conveys helpless terror and insatiable lust. Fassbender is more restrained here than usual, turning in a performance that essentially acts as a sounding board for Knightley and Mortensen. Mortensen is a mercurial, cigar chomping delight as Freud, a man whose genius is dwarfed only by his own regard for it. Special mention must also be made of the brilliant French actor Vincent Cassel, whose pansexual anarchist Otto Gross steals every scene he slithers into. Despite its many strengths, "A Dangerous Method" has some difficulty finding the balance between its three main characters. We spend an inordinate amount of time in the cold, loveless home of Jung and his vengefully pregnant wife. Mortensen, arguably the film's acting highlight, only appears sporadically, and too much of the third act is spent watching characters write, send and read various letters. But these are minor gripes. Like Knightley's incredible shrinking corset, Cronenberg's latest deserves to be seen before it's gone. FINAL RATING: ★★★★☆ CAVE NO COVER BEFORE 10PM EVER!

What do you know about... the queer uncanny? //KELSEA ECKENROTH Researching the family concept Milton Wendland, a professor of women, gender and sexuality studies, is developing a notion called "the queer uncanny." In Wendland's work, queer means non-normative. Uncanny is a concept created by Sigmund Freud, who Wendland says, was interested in uncanny as something that causes us to repeat ourselves both in language and behavior. Wendland's research focuses on the movie "The Wizard of Oz," the book "Mysterious Skin" by Scott Heim and the city ordinance called The City of Lawrence Domestic Partnership Registry, which allows any two people to register as domestic partners. By looking at how certain elements in each of these repeat or are illogical, we see how certain concepts aren't as stable as we would like to think they are. Wendland uses the example that most people see the "The Wizard of Oz" as a happy movie about finding your way home, but Wendland says when you actually trace Dorothy's words and actions, you find that Dorothy learns there is no "home," and what really happens is that Dorothy unconsciously creates the trouble that takes her away from Kansas. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Milton Wendland Wendland's queer uncanny approach suggests that the concept of family can be many different things at once and is unstable. "If you survey people and ask them what a family is, most people say a mom, a dad and kids. That's a nice ideal, but not the truth. Not everyone has the same family structure," Wendland says. Leslie Asquini, a senior from Overland Park, says her family isn't what the majority of people would consider "normal," but to her and her family, they are a perfect family. "To me, having a perfect family means having lots of communication and a healthy, supportive and structured environment," Asquini says. We should let family be multiple things, rather than giving it one definition. because they are more motivated and ravenous when they play teams that BCS schools.

Weinaug's doctor said bicycling was a low-impact alternative to walking; it placed less stress on the joints. That was 10 years ago. At the age of 60, Weinaug, the Douglas County Administrator, now rides his bicycle almost every day to work. His bicycle has been slightly altered for his body: both breaks are on the left handle, because Weinaug only has 10 percent grip in his right hand, and his right pedal is different than his left. He says people recognize him from a distance, because his right foot hangs off the pedal at an outward angle. He will go days without touching his car and has put 106,000 miles on his bicycle. Weinaug says the morning routine changes his outlook. "There is a joke around the courthouse that if you need something from the County Administrator you better make sure it is a day he road his bike to work," Weinaug says. The age at which a cyclist reaches his or her peak and begins to decline in ability is later than high-impact sports, like running. The University of Cape Town's department of human biology conducted a study of South Africa's 25 and 64 years old. Bill Anderson is in his 40s and races for 360 Racing, a competitive cycling "I'd much rather bike. You get some place. You're outdoors, and you're whizzing by all this great scenery." -Carol Shankel premier endurance cycling and running events and found that the rate of decline in running speed occurred on average at 32 years, while the decline in cycling occurred on average at 55 years. Whether it is doctor recommended or a reignited childhood love, the interest in cycling among older adults in on the rise. A three-year research project by the U.S. Department of Transportation released last year found that cycling levels have increased in the U.S.Most of the growth in cycling has been among men between team based in Overland Park. Anderson says he has cycled since he was a child, even attempting to make it his occupation in his 20s. While Anderson was at his fastest in his 20s, he says it is common for cyclists to be in their mid-30s before they reach their potential. In addition to competing, Anderson says he wakes up at 5 a.m. every week day to ride his bike to work. On his morning ride, Anderson has the sleeping town all to himself, but on the ride home he is forced to share his concentration and the road with vehicle traffic. Carol Shankel is proof that women are taking part in the action too. Shankel, who is more than 50, rides 2,000 to 2,700 miles a year. She says she road as a kid, but became an enthusiast about seven years ago. Shankel always wanted to make cycling her hobby, but didn't have the time in her younger years. She's always been active, exercising at the gym and walking. "I'd much rather bike. You get some place. You're outdoors, and you're whizzing by all this great scenery," Shankel says. Shankel says she enjoys the health benefits of cycling. It gives you really great legs, she says. Shankel has also seen improvements in her speed and ability. "I go up hills a lot faster, and I always go down them as fast as I can," she says. On rides with the Lawrence Bicycle Club, Shankel has ridden with young kids to men and women in their 70s. She says if you put in the time on the bicycle you will see improvements, no matter your age. Sarah Anderson started cycling training four months ago and has already improved her speed and endurance. Anderson, a senior from Blue Springs, Mo., says she mountain biked with her father when she was younger. It wasn't about speed or ability, she says. It was about enjoying nature and spending time with her father. In high school, she stopped biking to focus on her studies. In the fall, Anderson went on her first social ride with KU Cycling, a sports club for students who enjoy non-competitive or competitive cycling. The pace was slow enough that she had time to enjoy the scenery and the company of the other riders. The camaraderie and playfulness of the group gave her the feeling of liberation she had mountain biking as a kid. Last weekend, Anderson attended her first race. Anderson fell in the first corner of the first lap of the race. Then, she got back up and finished. She says she was nervous, but her teammates were very supportive. Skinned-kneed and smiling, Anderson says she will continue to cycle for as long it stays fun.

And, Graham said, Papa Keno's uses plastic cups lay tain order. "It's a no-brainer public safety issue," he said. Squire said along with broken glass causing injuries, glass can be used as a dangerous projectile. He said plastic containers are much less likely to cause injury or property damage. Squire, who assists the city in planning for NCAA tournament crowds, said the police would have a significant presence downtown during the Final Four weekend. Squire said he couldn't give specifics about how the police and city plan to deal with a large crowd, but did say a number public safety and sanitation were considered. "With that many people, plus alcohol, bad things can happen," he said. "We want eliminate as many things as possible."

University assistant professor of political Science Michael Lynch said the Kansas caucus is more important in this election than in past elections, because the Presidential candidate has usually been determined before the Kansas caucus is held. According to a fact sheet provided by University of Kansas College Republicans' president Ashley Moretti, students who are 18 years or older by March 10 registered as a Republican before Feb. 17 can vote at Free State High School on Saturday, as long as they live in the same congressional district as the University. If students don't live in the same congressional district as the University, they can still vote in a provisional ballot at the local site. Voters should bring a valid ID, which will prove state residency. I contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2012 The University Daily Kansan KANSAS CAUCUS FORMS OF VALID ID: - A Kansas Driver's License or no-driver's identification card - A concealed carry of handgun or weapon license - A US Passport - An employee of identification document issued by a government employer Source: Kansas Federation of College Republicans - A public assistance identification card issued by a government office - A student identification card issued by an accredited postsecondary institution of education in the state of Kansas Don't forget Presidential candidates Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will appear on the ballot. Burdett Loomis, a University professor in political science, said he predicted Rick Santorum will probably be favored in the Kansas Caucus, because he has a strong support from social conservatives. "The general rule is that strongest supporters are the ones that come out," Loomis said. Lynch said caucuses last longer than regular primaries, because voters have the opportunity to hear speeches supporting each candidate on the ballot before they cast their votes. He said Evangelical Christians and other very conservative Republicans are more likely to vote during a caucus, because they are more willing to take the extra time. Lynch said this demographic of voters supported Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election and will most likely support Santorum this year. Loomis said Kansas' role in the presidential election is greater during the GOP primaries, because Kansas is a traditionally Republican state. He said students who want to vote in Saturday's caucus should expect to spend more time at the polls than they would during other elections. "Presidential politics will leave the state after Saturday" he said. Loomis said Mitt Romney, who took a lead over other candidates on Super Tuesday, has a strong chance of wining the GOP nomination, but Santorum is not far behind. "If Santorum wins Kansas and couple other states, he can argue it's not over," he said. Lynch also said voters who arrive at 10 a.m. will have to listen to about 30 minutes of speeches before voting. Speeches will repeat through out the voting period, and voters should expect the high school to be crowded, as there is only one caucus site in Lawrence. "You aren't just showing up and voting." Lynch said. Edited by Corinne Westeman Tabling and organization visits for Student Senate elections will begin Monday.

Acme is a custom-design shop where you can design your own t-shirts and just purchase one, although you can do bulk orders as well. Caitlin Bubna, employee at Acme and KU graduate, says usually people come in and sit with the staff to talk about what idea they had in mind, pick out a font, pick out images, and have the staff print the shirt within an hour. "We have free design help so you can also just come in, go to the computer, look up images, fonts, and look up how they turn out," Bubna says. You can design your own t-shirts on many kinds of styles and clothing brands. Printing on a basic Gildan white shortsleeve t-shirt costs $15.95, and printing your design on American Apparel brand sweatshirt can cost about $48. Nicholas Stahl, employee at Acme and also a KU graduate, says students come design t-shirts for many occasions ranging from sorority group t-shirts, birthdays, anniversaries, and inside jokes. "Everyone has awesome stories about their shirts," Stahl says. You can also a bring file of the design on a flash drive, have staff help you design on their computer, or just buy one of the pre-designed t-shirts there. No reservation is necessary and Acme is open Mondays to Wednesdays 10a.m. to 7p.m., Thursdays to Saturdays 10a.m. to 8p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5p.m. Other places to custom-design T-shirts include AJ's Custom Signs & Graphics, 628 N. 2nd St., open Mondays to Saturdays 9a.m. to 6p.m., and MidWest Graphics Inc., 4811 Quail Crest Pl., open Mondays to Fridays 8a.m. to 5p.m. --because they are more motivated and ravenous when they play teams that BCS schools. --because they are more motivated and ravenous when they play teams that BCS schools. It's hard for a big name program like Kansas to get motivated to play against a mid-major team even if it's for a trip to the Final Four, as fans saw last season. Not to discredit VCU's performance against Kansas, but Kansas played its worst game of the season, shooting 35.5 percent from the court, 9.5 percent from behind the arc and a paltry 53.6 percent from the free-throw line. Statistically, Kansas was awful, but the team's effort and energy was just as bad. The Jayhawks were simply flat and lethargic. They simply overlooked and undermined Cinderella. If Kansas played against a BCS school instead of a mid-major in last year's Elite Eight game, I firmly believe that they would have played much better and advanced to the Final Four. The Jayhawks have what it takes to go all the way, but they also did last year. Cinderella is waiting, and Jayhawk Nation hopes that her slipper won't fit this time around. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar on Kansas City and the Big 12 tournament. "Going into the season, a lot of people didn't have faith in us because we lost so much last year," junior guard Travis Releford said Monday afternoon. "But if you think about it, all the guys that are playing, we've been here a while. We know what coach wants and we know how to run the system." The Jayhawks earned the tournament's top seed for the ninth time in its 16-year existence and are looking to capture their 13th Big 12 tournament championship. A head-scratching loss to Davidson in December made Bill Self question just how good his team was, but a 16-2 league record and eighth consecutive conference regular season championship re-assorted Kansas as the cream of the crop in the Big 12. Releford said the team has had something to prove since the beginning of the season because of doubting fans. The team is 19-2 since that loss to Davidson but Self thinks the team still has room for improvement heading into postseason play. "I haven't been defending how I was at the start of the season and I feel that going into post-season that I can step it up a lot more." Releford said. "He knows that I can be that guy that can step up and stop someone on the opponent's team." He's stressed the importance of finding a "defensive stopper" on numerous occasions and admitted his words were a message to a few players. Self said great defense was all about a person's mindset, not something a team can just decide to practice one week and magically get better at. He thinks Leeford, junior guard Elijah Johnson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor can all improve defensively. But the month of March brings more than just on-court adjustments. "I think distractions have things I probably won't about more than anything else" "It would be great," Self said. "Because that means we won two games." In the short term, the biggest distraction might be the talks of a possible meeting between Kansas and Missouri in the tournament championship Saturday night.

Volume 124 Issue 114 kansan.com Friday, March 9, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M PETER GRAHAM SPEAK Coming back home How I lost myself in Texas and found myself back in Kansas //SASHA LUND I looked across the room and spotted Alberto* instantly. His troubled, intense eyes were searching for me also. I smiled and timidly walked to the other side of the room to meet him. My stomach was churning with nerves, but as soon as I saw his eager smile, I was put at ease. I was at KIPP middle school that day because I had signed a 10-month contract with City Year, a division of AmeriCorps, just after graduating from high school in the blink-and-you-miss-it town of Eudora. Now here I was, in San Antonio, working as a full-time volunteer. That day was my first day as a mentor, and Alberto had specifically requested me for the job. The job, simply put, was to offer guidance and wisdom to a 13-year-old boy who experiences "special circumstances" at home. I was immediately put in charge of an after-school program mandatory for all students, which is where I first met Alberto. Despite having the same CONTRIBUTED PHOTO PRIOR TO TERRESTRIAL HOME coffee-colored skin and deep brown eyes as the other kids at KIPP, he contrasted sharply with his mild demeanor and voice which rarely rose above a whisper. Only five years older than he and equally as reserved, I could relate easily to him. He began to look for me in the hallways between classes, and once I began helping him with his math homework, his grades rose far above the danger zone. In return, he taught me some Spanish slang words, like chonga, a type of Hispanic woman who draws on her eyebrows, that I never could have learned in a classroom. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to order breakfast tacos at my favorite Mexican restaurant, a hole-in-the-wall place the size of my closet. We had grown to know each other well, but when I met him I knew mentoring him would be a challenge. I had no clue how to inspire someone; the task daunted me. On our way to the deserted classroom we used for our first session, I asked him what he wanted to do. "Just talk," he answered. His request bewildered me.I had come to our session prepared with books, games and activities,but I had not come prepared to talk. "Where do you live?" I asked,lamely. It was in his answer that Alberto's life unfolded for me. He lived on the West Side, in a neighborhood I had frequently passed by on the bus, but never dared to go into because of its reputation. My friend Nephiteri advised me against traveling through this part of the city. When I asked why, her answer was simple: You just don't. Alberto lived with his grandmother in a one-bedroom apartment where they took turns sleeping on the sofa. Alberto had little recollection of his parents, but the memories he had weren't good ones. He suspected his father was in prison, and his mother could be anywhere. Coming to KIPP each morning was a gift, and I saw an anxious expression overwhelm his face as the school day drew to a close. He never wanted to go home. We had that in common. While he went home to a dangerous neighborhood, many times without dinner, I went home to a three-bedroom apartment that I shared with five other girls. I slept on a twin-sized air mattress because the living stipends I received for my volunteer work weren't enough to purchase furniture. Much like Alberto, I looked forward to spending my days at KIPP. Alberto and I met three times a week, for hour-long sessions. Sometimes we would just work on homework. Other times we would listen to his favorite rap songs, play card games (Go Fish was his favorite) or write in journals. Once, I gave him a writing prompt that read: What do you want to do when you grow up? He stared blankly at the paper for five minutes before telling me that he didn't know. Alberto had never even allowed himself to dream. After two months of mentoring Alberto, I couldn't ignore the gnawing feeling that I wasn't, and couldn't, really make a difference in his life. Many of his friends were in the process of joining gangs, and when he told me that he was solicited by one, something inside me broke. I was an 18-year-old from Eudora, Kan. My experience with gangs was limited to bad TV movies. All of a sudden, the training City Year had given us seemed useless. This was real life, and I had no idea how to handle real life yet. Later that week, in early November, I drove 900 miles back to Kansas, leaving no trace of me behind, other than an apology to Alberto. I understood life in Kansas, but the problems I faced back in Eudora were often trivial, especially compared to life in Texas. Because I had only completed three months of my 11-month contract, the only contact I was allowed with my former mentee was a letter. I asked my teammate, John, to continue to mentor Alberto, which he did well. I enrolled at KU and started classes in January 2009. I can't say I always feel I made the right decision, because sometimes I'm left with the melancholy reminder that I essentially abandoned Alberto. However, I'm left knowing that, while I may have been the one mentoring Alberto, his presence in my life has resonated with me throughout the last three years. *indicates name has been changed increase ES th fee Source: Student Senate Finance Committee 13706284950 buted by Senate of the reserve, so see any fees for committee also the Senate assist People of KUributing $1,631uting costs.

MEXICAN CAFE special because they are more motivated and ravenous when they play teams that BCS schools. It's hard for a big name program like Kansas to get motivated to play against a mid-major team even if it's for a trip to the Final Four, as fans saw last season. Not to discredit VCU's performance against Kansas, but Kansas played its worst game of the season, shooting 35.5 percent from the court, 9.5 percent from behind the arc and a paltry 53.6 percent from the free-throw line. Statistically, Kansas was awful, but the team's effort and energy was just as bad. The Jayhawks were simply flat and lethargic. They simply overlooked and undermined Cinderella. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar If Kansas played against a BCS school instead of a mid-major in last year's Elite Eight game, I firmly believe that they would have played much better and advanced to the Final Four. The Jayhawks have what it takes to go all the way, but they also did last year. Cinderella is waiting, and Jayhawk Nation hopes that her slipper won't fit this time around. The Jayhawks earned the tournament's top seed for the ninth time in its 16-year existence and are looking to capture their 13th Big 12 tournament championship. on Kansas City and the big 12 tournament. "Going into the season, a lot of people didn't have faith in us because we lost so much last year," junior guard Travis Releford said Monday afternoon. "But if you think about it, all the guys that are playing, we've been here a while. We know what coach wants and we know how to run the system." Releford said the team has had something to prove since the beginning of the season because of doubting fans. A head-scratching loss to Davidson in December made Bill Self question just how good his team was, but a 16-2 league record and eighth consecutive conference regular season championship re-assorted Kansas as the cream of the crop in the Big 12. The team is 19-2 since that loss to Davidson but Self thinks the team still has room for improvement heading into postseason play. "I haven't been defending how I was at the start of the season and I feel that going into post-season that I can step it up a lot more," Releford said. "He knows that I can be that guy that can step up and stop someone on the opponent's team." He's stressed the importance of finding a "defensive stopper" on numerous occasions and admitted his words were a message to a few players. Self said great defense was all about a person's mindset, not something a team can just decide to practice one week and magically get better at. He thinks Releford, junior guard Elijah Johnson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor can all improve defensively. But the month of March brings more than just on-court adjustments. "I think distractions have "It would be great," Self said. "Because that means we won two games." things I probably worry about more than anything else."

It will only affect public spaces. City bans glassware during tournament LUKE RANKER Iranker@kansan.com The City of Lawrence aims to maintain safety in the midst of March Madness. Sergeant Troy Squire of the Lawrence Police Department said the ordinance doesn't stem from any specific incident. The City Commission unanimously approved Tuesday a temporary ordinance that would prohibit the use of glass bottles and other glassware on streets and sidewalks in the downtown area during the weekends of the Elite Eight, Final Four, and Championship games of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. The ordinance defines the downtown area as Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire Streets from 6th Street to 13th Street. "We're just trying to be proactive," he said. "We want to make it safer than it was in 2008." He said that the University student community, and the rest of Lawrence, have maintained order well in that past and no significant issues have come up during past NCAA tournaments. Brandon Graham, bought Jefferson Restaurant, 743 Massachusetts St., in May, 2011, and bought Papa Keno's Pizzeria, 1035 Massachusetts St., in January. He said he doesn't know what operating those businesses during the tournament will be like, but he doesn't expect crowds to be a problem. "I give the public the benefit of the doubt." Graham said. He said the ordinance shouldn't affect bars because people are already prohibited from leaving drinking establishments with open containers. And, Graham said, Papa Keno's uses plastic cups Ordinance Time: 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, 2012, through 6:00 a.m. on Monday, March 26 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 31 through 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 3 NCAA Men's Basketball Game Times: Elite Eight: March 24-25 Final Four: March 31 Championship: April 2 He said he would have more staff on hand if the Jayhawks make it to the Sweet 16, to provide quality service for the increased number of customers and help maintain order. instead of glass. "It's a no-brainer public safety issue," he said. Squire said along with broken glass causing injuries, glass can be used as a dangerous projectile. He said plastic containers are much less likely to cause injury or property damage. Squire, who assists the city in planning for NCAA tournament crowds, said the police would have a significant presence downtown during the Final Four weekend. Squire said he couldn't give specifics about how the police and city plan to deal with a large crowd, but did say a number public safety and sanitation were considered. "With that many people, plus alcohol, bad things can happen," he said. "We want eliminate as many things as possible."

To fund the changes, student fees will be raised next school year. Tournament: Kansas over Texas A&M PAGE 12 A breakdown of student fees for the 2012-2013 school year shows that new employees for health and counseling services, and inflation are major parts of the $15 increase per student passed in Student Senate's finance committee Wednesday night. SPORTS 12 SUDOKU 4 The new fee rate is a 3.5 percent increase from last year's student fees. "The largest increase is $8.30 for Student Health. This is partially due to inflation and changes in the way services at Watkins will be provided to students, accounting for $6.50 of the increase. A new after-hours counseling hotline and a new licensed clinical social worker account for the remaining $1.90 of the fee under Counseling and Psychological Services." The transportation fee was also increased by $2.50 to pay for a new bus route, Route 19 and a new Saferide route servicing students living in Southwest Lawrence. Other increases include a $3 increase to Student Recreation Fee, a $1.10 increase to legal services, and a $0.25 increase for Renewable Energy and Sustainability that was supplemented by decreases in other fees. Some senators expressed concerns that the fee increases would be too much of a burden for students on top of paying tuition and CRYPTOQUIPS 4 OPINION 5 "I honestly don't think this fee package is posing a threat to students" well-being," said Finance Committee Chair Josh Dean during Wednesday's meeting. Max McBride, an Overland Park freshman, agreed with Dean, but it is important that these increases don't happen every year. Breaking down the $15 fee increase "I don't really mind too much, but the fact that they're continuing to raise them [the fees] is frustrating, because how much more money do they need to operate?" McBride said. Student fees will total $443.95 with the increase. The University's account of next year's student fees is here: http://udkne.ws/zu01mi $1.10 Legal services fee $6.50 Student health fee $3.00 Student recreation fee $2.50 Transportation fee $1.90 Counseling and Psychological Services Source: Student Senate Finance Committee 19 The new total for student fees would be $443.95, compared to the $428.95 from this past school year. This increase is greater than the rate of inflation, which was reported by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics to be at 2.9 percent in January 2012. loans. However, others noted that most of these fees, especially the health and transportation fees, would pay for themselves. Another significant change proposed for next year, is the renovation of Wescoe Beach. The estimated total cost would be $288,000 to $325,000, depending on the layout and lighting on Wescoe Beach. The main idea is to add trees and move seating to make the area more of a social hub for students. The two "I know we're all paying a lot for student loans, but if it pays for an activity that you use on a regular basis, then I think it's worthwhile," said John Hartner, a graduate student from Barrington, Ill. "From a student's perspective, we have no damn money, and we're strapped for cash. Money is clearly an issue, but the $15 for the services it goes towards is worth it." existing lights would be moved out closer to jayhawk Blvd., and an additional light would be added to make the area safer at night. The money contributed by Senate will be taken out of the reserve, so students will not see any fees for the project. Edited by Max Lush The finance committee also decided to have the Senate assist with funding the People of KU Magazine, by contributing $1,631 to help with printing costs. The magazine is put out by International Family Association, and is specifically written towards international students, who account for over 2,000 students at KU. "I would love it if they renovated it, because I think Wescole is very drab," McBride said. While the bill might seem high, several outside sources are driving down the cost. The Office of the Chancellor will match Student Senate's contributions to the project. As far as lighting is concerned, the Campus Safety Advisory Board and the Office of the Provost will both contribute to fund the lights. ELECTION Kansas republicans vote Saturday LUKE RANKER Index Free State High School will host the local Kansas Republican Presidential Caucus Saturday. LUKE RANKER lranker@kansan.com University assistant professor of political Science Michael Lynch said the Kansas caucus is more important in this election than in past elections, because the Presidential candidate has usually been determined before the Kansas caucus is held. According to a fact sheet provided by University of Kansas College Republicans' president Ashley Moretti, students who are 18 years or older by March 10 registered as a Republican before Feb. 17 can vote at Free State High School on Saturday, as long as they live in the same congressional district as the University. If students don't live in the same congressional district as the University, they can still vote in a provisional ballot at the local site. Voters should bring a valid ID, which will prove state residency. KANSAS CAUCUS FORMS OF VALID ID: - A Kansas Driver's License or no-driver's identification card - A concealed carry of handgun or weapon license - A US Passport Source; Kansas Federation of College Republicans - A public assistance identification card issued by a government office - A student identification card issued by an accredited postsecondary institution of education in the state of Kansas - An employee of identification document issued by a government employer all contents, unless stated otherwise. © 2012 The University Daily Kan Burdett Loomis, a University professor in political science, said he predicted Rick Santorum will probably be favored in the Kansas Caucus, because he has a strong support from social conservatives. Presidential candidates Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romeny, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will appear on the ballot. "The general rule is that strongest supporters are the ones that come out," Loomis said. Loomis said Mitt Romney, who took a lead over other candidates on Super Tuesday, has a strong chance of wining the GOP nomination, but Santorum is not far behind. Loomis said Kansas' role in the presidential election is greater during the GOP primaries, because Kansas is a traditionally Republican state. "If Santorum wins Kansas and couple other states, he can argue it's not over," he said. Lynch said caucuses laster than regular primaries, because voters have the opportunity to hear Lynch also said voters who arrive at 10 a.m. will have to listen to about 30 minutes of speeches before voting. Speeches will repeat through out the voting period, and voters should expect the high school to be crowded, as there is only one caucus site in Lawrence. speeches supporting each candidate on the ballot before they cast their votes. He said Evangelical Christians and other very conservative Republicans are more likely to vote during a caucus, because they are more willing to take the extra time. Lynch said this demographic of voters supported Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election and will most likely support Santorum this year. He said students who want to vote in Saturday's caucus should expect to spend more time at the polls than they would during other elections. "Presidential politics will leave the state after Saturday," he said. "You aren't just showing up and voting." Lynch said. — Edited by Corinne Westeman Don't forget Tabling and organization visits for Student Senate elections will begin Monday.

Downtown businesses see increases in sales rschlichting@kansan.com An improving economy is benefiting businesses on Massachusetts Street. REBEKKA SCHLICHTING "We've been through three or four very tough years nationally," said Eileen Hawley, director of communications and investor relations for the City of Lawrence. "We have fared better than the national average but it's starting to pick up again and you can see those signs. Restaurants don't open unless they think there's going to be clients to come to their restaurants." Buffalo Bobs, 719 Massachusetts Street, has been in business for 35 years. With new restaurants opening in the area, their business has been improving over the last two years. Bob Schumm, owner, said the restaurant maintains a constant level of business. "We had the recession, which was damaging in terms of the number of people who were willing to eat out," Schumm said. "People are a little more willing to spend. We are seeing some of that and feeling it." "The air of downtown Lawrence has become more arts and entertainment focused in the last few years than the strictly retail that it used to be," Hughes said. "There is more walk-by traffic." Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 804 Massachusetts Street, has been downtown for 40 years. Dan Hughes, owner, said 2011 was its second best year for business. Lawrence and the University coordinate events, such as the Kansas Relay in the spring and Band Day parade in the fall. These types of events bring in people to Lawrence and shoppers downtown, Hawley said. In 2011; a $10 million, multistory complex opened on the corner of 9th and New Hampshire Streets. The complex is for offices, retail and housing. "When people live downtown here 24 hours a day, more people are in the district. We aren't just waiting for people to come. That's going to help overtime," Schumm said. Improvements within businesses are also contributing to their own success. After 25 years of business on Massachusetts Street, MissFortune's Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts Street, has started to carry more of a variety of clothing. "Rather than just hippie clothing", Brittney Simon, manager, said. Acme T-shirt shop, 847 Massachusetts Street, doesn't advertise, yet their business is still growing non-stop since they opened three years ago. "We are constantly improving our capabilities. We are getting improved forms of printing T-shirts which last longer. We are now printing canvases, stickers, and buttons. We have more and more items to offer," Jennilyn Keinsley, manager, said. Larry Billings, owner of Lawrence Antique Mall, has had 22 years of business downtown. Billings blames the nice weather on his improving sales. Last February brought in 25 percent more business than February 2011. Information based on the Douglas County booking recap.

SENATE — Laura Sather Board raises thousands for Wescoe renovations During its Feb. 22 meeting, Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory Board allocated $25,000 for Wescoe Beach lighting as a part of the Wescoe Beach Renovation Project. The board approved the money on the condition that it will receive $25,000 in matching funds from the University administration, which will fund the entire lighting portion of the renovation. Senate bill 2012-183 is scheduled for a full-senate vote next week and would allocate an additional $100,000 for the project from the Student Senate reserve account. If the bill passes, University administration will match the money provided by the senate, funding the rest of the project. The lighting portion of the plan will relocate the two existing light poles and retrofit the poles with LED lights. A third pole will also be added, bringing Wescoe Beach up to the University lighting standard of one-foot-candle of illumination for pedestrian walkways. Jim Modig, University director of design and construction management said a foot-candle provides the amount of illumination a candle would cast a The plan as a whole will add trees and seating to Wescoe Beach, but Meredith Pavicie, the chair for the Campus Safety Advisory Board, said funding would not have been allocated if only for aesthetic purposes. surface a foot away.

ASSOCIATED PRESS A video about the atrocities carried out by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army has gone viral, racking up millions more views seemingly by the hour. (1) The marketing campaign is an effort by the advocacy group Invisible Children to vastly increase awareness about a jungle militia leader who is wanted for atrocities by the International Criminal Court and is being hunted by 100 U.S. Special Forces advisers and local troops in four Central African countries. Joseph Kony became known to the world this week after a 30-minute video on YouTube went viral. The group's 30-minute video, which was released Monday, had more than 32 million views on YouTube by Thursday. The movie is part of an effort called KONY 2012 that targets Kony and the LRA. But Kulaygey said that Kony's forces — once thousands strong — have been so degraded that he no longer considers Kony a threat to the region. Because of the intensified hunt for Kony, his forces split into smaller groups that can travel the jungle more easily. Experts estimate that the LRA now has only about 250 fighters. Still, the militia abducts children, forcing them to serve as soldiers or sex slaves, and even to kill their parents or each other to survive. The LRA now operates in Congo, the Central African Republic and South Sudan. NORTH AMERICA Koreas begin informal nuclear talks NEW YORK Nuclear envoys of the rival Koreas have a chance for informal talks at an academic conference that began in New York Thursday as diplomacy on Pyongyang's atomic program gathers pace. Former senior U.S. officials and Korea experts are also participating. North Korea's representative to stalled six-nation disarmament talks, Ri Yong Ho, and his South Korean counterpart, Lim Sung-nam, are attending the two-day conference on Northeast Asian security, taking place behind closed doors at a hotel near the United Nations headquarters. It was not immediately clear if the Korean envoys would meet face-to-face. Washington wants to see improved inter-Korean relations before resuming the disarmament negotiations that the North withdrew from in 2009. The North has since conducted its second nuclear test and unveiled a uranium enrichment program, that could give it an alternative means for producing fissile material for a bomb. North Korea announced last week it would freeze its uranium enrichment and nuclear and long-range missile tests, and allow in U.N. nuclear inspectors — key U.S. conditions for restarting the six-nation talks that would determine what assistance the overpowered North would get for abandoning its nuclear weapons program. In Beijing on Thursday, the U.S. and North Korea concluded their latest talks, aimed at finalizing the 240,000 tons of food aid that the North will receive for its nuclear freeze. U. S. envoy on North Korean human rights issues, Robert King, said administrative issues on deliveries of the aid have been resolved, though details still remain to be settled. AFRICA South Africans protest for the poor JOHANNESBURG — Tens of thousands of South Africans marched peacefully through their main cities Wednesday to demand the governing African National Congress do more for the poor. Police estimate 50,000 people marched in Johannesburg, South Africa's economic hub. Smaller crowds turned out in Cape Town and other cities and towns for protests called by the Congress of South African Trade Unions, a close ally of the ANC, but often among its sharpest critics. The federation, known as COSATU, linked the protests to two ANC economic policy decisions. But the theme was broader than a pair of demands. COSATU is concerned that after 18 years in power, the party has become complacent and needs to be pushed to replace corrupt or incompetent leaders with politicians who can deliver. The marches come before an ANC policy-making conference in June and another meeting in December to elect top party leaders. The party that has been in power since the end of apartheid in 1994 is under pressure to show it can work more quickly to improve the lives of black South Africans. Support from across the political, racial and economic spectrum emerged for one of the demands COSATU made Wednesday, that the government scrap planned tolls to pay for road upgrades in the Johannesburg area. COSATU says tolls will make life more expensive for the working class. Middle-class drivers also complained, and businesses don't want the cost of transporting goods to rise. The main opposition Democratic Alliance party has vowed to challenge the toll plan in court. Santorum talks about blue collar roots POLITICS MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Presidential candidate Rick Santorum spoke about limited government, repealing Obamacare, and the threats of radical Islam during a rally in Lenexa on Wednesday. Santorum spoke at the rally, which took place at the warehouse of Harvest Grapes, to appeal to Kansas voters before the caucus this Saturday. "We have a great opportunity in the next few weeks in this primary season to stand up to the establishment," Santorum said. "And have an insurgent candidate, a candidate who speaks to the people, who comes out of working-people towns." Santorum emphasized his blue-collar roots and characterized his view of government as bottom-up instead of what he described as President Obama's top-down approach. The candidate said the president only cared about making government bigger and making more people dependent on the president and the state. The candidate said this election was about freedom and called it the most important in American history. "This is an election about what kind of country we are going to pass on to our children and grandchildren," Santorum said. "If we don't get it right, the idea that we can recapture freedom somewhere down the road — show me any civilization that's been able to do that." Pledging to repeal the recent health care reform, the candidate even pulled a copy of the Constitution out of his pocket to demonstrate his dedication to freedom. Santorum then turned his attention to rival Mitt Romney, and compared the Massachusetts healthcare plan that Romney enacted as governor to the national healthcare reform. Lasting just more than half an hour, Santorum rounded out his speech by speaking about the dangers of Iran's radical theocracy and their pursuit of nuclear weapons. He also encouraged Kansans to turn out to vote. "We're committed to doing really well," Santorum said. "And Kansas can lead the charge." Only a few college students attended the event. Rose Morris and Alex Contreras, freshmen from Raytown, Mo., who attend Longview Community College, came to hear the speech. Both hope to attend the University after completing junior college and said their primary political issue was affordable higher education. Contreras said he was still undecided on which candidate he was going to support, but said he came to the rally with an open mind.

As a result, celebrities may frequently find themselves in the position of choosing, or being pressured, to continue self-destructive habits just to keep career momentum. Though the cause of Houston's death is still under investigation, one of the many questions prompted by it and the passing of pop stars as varied as Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley is this: If celebrities who have access to every resource available can't get help, what hope is there for the majority of people who haven't experienced the smallest fraction of their success? Houston There are successes, but those stories usually don't generate nearly as much attention as the high-profile failures. During the Grammy Awards telecast the night after Houston died, Portnow presided over a segment that included video clips from many well-known musicians who have overcome career-derailing and potentially life-threatening personal struggles — including addiction.

The movie, which pays loving homage to the beloved zombie spoof "Shaun of the Dead," has already earned high praise from the hardcore horror crowd. When it screened at the Leeds Film Festival in England last year, Twitchfilm.com's Eight Brooks wrote ("Juan of the Dead") is slick, professional, raucous entertainment, laconically smart and hilariously profane by turns, and more than stands on its own two decaying feet." But what will push the movie over in Miami are the cultural and political subtexts in the film that take brash swipes at everything from Castro's revolution to American capitalism. "It's interesting," writer-director Alejandro Bruges said by telephone from Havana. "When you watch the movie with a horror audience, they laugh at jokes and gags other people don't recognize. But when you watch it with a Cuban audience that doesn't know about zombie films, they laugh at completely different things. My favorites are the scene in which everyone laughs together." PAGE 4 "Juan of the Dead" cost $3 million — a measly budget by Hollywood standards, but "Titanic" sized in Cuba — and features elaborate makeup and CGI effects. Because movies of this kind have never been made on the island, teams from Mexico and Spain flew in to handle the gore and large-scale mayhem. "The previous generation of Cuban filmmakers were influenced by older movies, and their work reflected that," Brugues said. "But I grew up watching 'Star Wars' and 'Jaws' and 'Indiana Jones' and 'Dawn of the Dead' and Peter Jackson movies. Those are the kind of movies that influence my aesthetic. 'Juan of the Dead' is my tribute to 'Shaun of the Dead,' which is my favorite zombie movie." VIDEO GAMES SimCity to feature new environmental aspects LOS ANGELES — Move over, Cit- ville. SimCity is coming back to town. The game franchise that first defined the city-building genre in 1989 will be re-released next year as a multi-player online computer game, developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts Inc.

In SimCity, a fetish for coal burning plants in one city can spread smog and sickness in adjacent cities run by other players, for example. — McClatchy Tribune But because it's a game, Maxis developers know players often prefer to be mischievous.

SOCIETY Do pigeons have feelings? With the advent of cell phones and social networking, a new kind of scandal has emerged Since computers and cell phones began to have cameras, a new kind of scandal was born - the "oops I did not mean to post that X-rated picture of myself on Twitter/ Facebook/ or other relevant social media site." This is a type of scandal that we as a society are still trying to to handle since we are learning how easily these accidental picture posts can ruin people's careers, and more importantly their reputations. The most important question accidentally posted a sexually suggestive picture. Weiner meant to send a picture of his Wiener, pun intended, to a college student who followed him on twitter, but instead everyone caught a glimpse. It amazes me how a simple task of sending a picture on your cell phone can in one second destroy your entire important question to ask, though, is who were they intending to send this pictures to in the first place? Obviously, they meant to send the picture to one person and not the entire Internet world. One of the more publicized scandals was U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner's, when he "Everything that you choose to post, or in these cases accidentally post, has an immediate reaction, which results in an immediate consequence." By Jacob Moffitt jmoffitt@kansan.com to send a picture of that nature, they would at least double-check where they were sending the file before pressing send. life just by simply by pushing the wrong send button. Furthermore, you would think if someone was going We are the first generation to have this technology, which allows us to see, watch, and post anything that our heart desires in a matter of seconds, without much second thought to it. We still have not learned how to properly use this convenient, yet sometimes dangerous, technology. Everything that you choose to post, or in these cases accidentally post, has an immediate reaction, which results in an immediate consequence. In the past scandals developed over time and seemed to have less harsh punishments. For example, Bill Clinton's scandal with Monica Lewinsky upset everyone, but there was not visible proof available on the Internet for people to outrage over. The difference is when proof of these scandals is posted publicly online everyone can actually see it. When we can actually see proof of Anthony Weiner's incident people seem to be more disgusted because they are actually able to see and visualize the incident. With a quick Google search you can be appalled with the rest of society. It is interesting how society is choosing to use this technology in order to benefit their sexual desires. It seems to make cheating on your significant other easier, yet at the same time it also makes it easier for you to get caught. With one slip of a finger, by pushing "tweet this photo," instead of "send photo as a text message" can destroy your life in seconds. Once it enters the Internet sphere it never seems to leave. whole life. Even later as she goes to job interviews, with a quick Google search of her name potential employers will immediately know her and her judge upon that one choice. Are people not aware that posting something publicly online means that anyone in the world can view it at anytime? With examples like these it seems to be that we are not. We as a society have not yet adapted and realized what is possible when you put your thoughts on the Internet. This is also true in the Internet facet of YouTube. As for UCLA student Alexandra Wallace will forever be known as the girl who posted a racist video rant about Asians in the library, because of a three minute video she recorded and publicly posted it. The quick advancement of technology has happened so fast we, as a society, have not learned how to correctly and appropriately use it. Hopefully over time we can learn how to probably balance our actual lives and our Internet identities. That decision will affect her Moffitt is a senior in English and philosophy from Wichita. CULTURE Straight girls can't hide out anymore The best kept secret of straight girls everywhere has been exposed. What was once a safe-zone gay bar with our pals away from our XY counterparts is now their prime place to pick up women. Gay bars used to be havens where there was no risk of sketchy guys emerging from the corner, giving us what the Huffington Post calls the sneak-attack grind from behind, and promptly spilling their Boulevard Wheat all over our shoes. But as of late, gay bars have become hot spots for straight men to woo women who are just along for the ride. Last month I was chatting with my new and very sassy coworker about my escape to Wilde's Chateau 24 the Wednesday night before to party on the club's weekly gay night. He suggested writing my next column about it, saying that gay bars are becoming the new place for guys to pick up girls. By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com At first I was skeptical. Sure, I had been hit on at gay bars before, but I figured it was just by chance. I decided to actually look it up to see if his point had any merit. Lo and behold, it does. In fact, it yielded thousands of results. Meanwhile, we shouldn't complain about the trend of straight guys trying to pick us up there either. But in a universe where our instincts tell us to do whatever we can to find a mate, straight guys hitting up gay bars is actually reasonable. In fact it's kind of genius. Based on the number of hits, straight guys visiting gay bars to meet women is widespread. And who can blame them? I wasn't exactly into it when a guy at Chateau tried to pick me up by telling me he liked my dance moves "and everything else." I found it laughable at best and couldn't fathom why he'd choose a gay bar to pick up women. And with two of my three best friends being gay, a guy has to be cool with the gay community to be cool with me. We ladies shouldn't feel sorry if we reject a guy at a gay bar, where our guards are usually lower than at a traditional one. If we don't like them hitting on us at gay bars, we have two options: we can speak up about it or just take it in stride. Don't we deal with those kinds of guys at every other bar on any other night anyway? Neither women nor the gay community should be mad at straight men for pursuing women at bars and clubs like Chateau and Missie B's in Westport. Some members of the gay community feel that said straight men are stepping on their turf and stripping gay nights of their purpose. But the straight men aren't taking girls away from gay guys. In the end, it's up to the heterosexual women to decide if they want the men who are out on the prowl to be a part of their night out at all. If guys didn't successfully pick up straight women at gay bars already, they wouldn't be out there still. But because women tend to let their guards down at gay nights, where they don't expect to be hit on, straight men are all over it and often get what they want out of the deal. It's possible that our hiding spots for girls-only outings will eventually all be found out. A Pilates class was No. 2 on the where-to-meet-women list. Straight men at bars like Chateau on gay nights are only doing what we do at traditional bars. I'd probably do it too, so realistically, they shouldn't be giving an apology for their recent gay-bar behavior — just one for that Boulevard Wheat I'm wearing. But we just have to be honest with guys who do try to pick us up about what we want to get from the night out. If we don't want to talk, drink, or dance with dudes, we don't have to. I never feel bad for rejecting guys at bars, and that includes at Chateau. Rachel Keith is a graduate student in education, from Wichita. HEALTH Food shouldn't be allowed on public transportation Eating on Public Transportation? Right or Wrong? A proposed ban on eating in the New York City subway system is sparking a lot of controversy about the true intentions and implications of the bill. For anyone that's ridden a New York City subway it's fairly obvious that lack of sanitation and rats are a real issue. One of the most unpleasant experiences one could have on the subway is setting your hand into some unknown sticky substance, with no sink in sight, or having that cup of scalding hot coffee spilled all over your outfit on the way to work. So in response to this state legislators have proposed a bill that fines those caught eating on a subway station, platform, or car $250. That's only for first time violators; the fine doubles if it's your second offense. By Gabby Pred gpred@kansan.com Some, like New York Times opinion contributor Annia Ciezdadlo, argue that this bill is a direct attack on the poor and minorities who rely on public transportation, stating, "The claim that noshing leads to litter and filth harks back to racial and class stereotypes from the Victorian era." Even the chairman of the Transportation Authority opposes this bill. While the restrictions and fines imposed by the bill do seem a little harsh, I think they're a far cry from unreasonable stereotypes. The meaning behind it seems purely pragmatic; less food and drink means less mess and less rats. Critics argue that for some the time spent waiting for or traveling on the subway is their only time for a meal during the day. However, cities like Washington DC and San Francisco have enforced similar bans on their public transportation systems proving it can work in a major metropolis. We can even compare this to our own system here in Lawrence; currently no food or open drinks are allowed on the busses, only spill-proof drinks. I for one support this rule. I can only imagine the mess and filth that would ensue in those already uncomfortably tight quarters, not to mention the smell. While it might be nice to eat my breakfast on my way to class on the bus, the cons most certainly outweigh the slight convenience. So to the legislators of New York, I propose a compromise. Impose the food ban only on the subway cars, not in the stations or on the platforms. Instead, increase the number of trash and recycling bins in the stations and more heavily enforce the cities already in place anti-littering laws. Finally, reduce the fine, $250, for a minor infraction. This penalizes not those who eat and clean up after themselves, but only those who make a mess.

CHEMA Johnson GAME TO FORGET Conner Teahan, senior guard While Teahan tallied four assists and three rebounds, he committed three fouls in 18 minutes played. As Sell's top reserve, Teahan must avoid fouling regularly so he can stay in the game if needed. Teahan also missed his two three-point shots.

MEN'S BASKET KANSAS CITY, Mo., — With a comfortable double-digit lead nearing 20 points in the second half of Thursday's 83-66 victory over Texas A&M, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor waited on the wing for a screen from junior center Jeff Withey. The screen came, and Withey rolled to the basket. Taylor looked like he might shoot it but opted for the difficult pass to a streaking Withey near the hoop, much to the surprise of the seven-foot big man. of his team's ball movement. "We talk about getting it to the second and third side, and that's able to get our bigs in good position so we can throw it in. And the more you get the defense to move, the more chances you'll have of bad close-outs. It's a huge emphasis." The smooth offense was nowhere to be found in the beginning of the first half, however. The Jayhawks missed five shots and committed three turnovers in the first eight minutes, and the Aggies held a 14-12 lead. "After the 12-minute timeout, I thought the ball moved pretty well," Self said. "A lot of times they came The ball bounced off Withey's head and out of bounds, and as the teammates jogged back on defense, Withey told Taylor to shoot it next time, while motioning with his hands. At that point, a tough three-point attempt by Taylor would have had little effect on the final score, but he was determined to make the extra pass whether it was a good decision or not. "I think that's the thing I've liked most about them, that for the most part, they're pretty selfless," said coach Bill Self about his players. The Jayhawks are 22nd in the country and second in the Big 12 with 15.6 assists per game, and finished with 19 against the Aggies Thursday afternoon in the Sprint Center.

Goodrich controlled the offensive sets for Kansas and even showed off some impressive no look passes before the night was said and done. Henrickson had this to say after the games. "She does for us what Carter does for than and did for them and certainly on both ends of the floor. She carries us defensively on that end of the ball and a great communicator on the offensive end." MALIKA JONES Goodrich GAME TO FORGET CeCe Harper, sophomore guard Kansas has looked for Harper to step up in the lineup since she replace junior guard Monica Engleman in the starting rotation. Although she played her normal consistent defense, Harper was unable to be effective on the offensive end. She managed to miss all three of her shots on the night and had three turnovers in her 17 minutes of play.

Kansas lost 78-63 in the Big 12 Tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.Mo. Aggies get away with one more victory RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bonnie Henrickson has seen Texas A&M plenty of times since coming to Lawrence in 2004. She's faced A&M 11 times and has yet to win one time. And since the Aggies depart for the SEC after this season it will stay that way as the two teams competed in the final scheduled conference meeting on Thursday night at Municipal Auditorium as the Aggies defeated the Jayhawks 78-63. It's a disappointment for Kansas, but right now its worried about finding a spot in the NCAA Tournament. "It is frustrating but we have to just pick it up and beat the next team," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. Although the Jayhawks hung close for the majority of the contest, the Aggies controlled the tempo, especially in the second half. The main reason for Texas A&M opening up the lead was freshman guard Alexia Standish, who scored a career-high 25 points. She also knocked down 6-of-9 attempts from three. "I guess my role is just to be a point guard," Standish said. "If I'm open, shoot the three. Tonight I was open. I just took what I had to take and I guess I helped out our team since we're missing our leading scorer." With senior guard Tyra White out with an apparent foot injury, the Aggies relied heavily on senior guard Sydney Carter to pick up the slack on both sides of the court. Carter showed the ability to knock down open shots when they were given to her, while also being one of the more active defenders for the Aggies, swatting balls into the stands and suffocating offensive players. She finished the game with 18 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and zero turnovers while playing all 40 minutes. "She gave us the offense that we've been missing all year, but we ran some good stuff for her at the right time," said Texas A&M coach Gay Blar. Throughout the night junior guard Angel Goodrich proved to be the leader she's been for the Jayhawks all season long, stepping up when the team needed her most. She finished the game with a team-high 21 points and nine assists. Goodrich also spent much of the night guarding Carter. It proved to be one of the better matchups of the night on both ends of the floor. "We're both quick and she's got a really quick shot," Goodrich said. "She's balanced on defense, and she gets into the game. It's a great challenge between the both of us." The other two big scoring factors on the night for Kansas were Sutherland and freshman guard Natalie Knight who both finished with 14 points. Knight stepped up recently with 18 points against Oklahoma on Sunday to go with her performance against A&M. "It feels good to be able to contribute and just help out Aishah and Angel because they carry a lot of the load." Knight said. Without the victory the Jayhawks now must wait until Monday's selection show before knowing the team's fate in the postseason. "it's going to be a long three, four days to wait." Sutherland said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2012 KANSAS TIPOFF PAGE 9 KU AT A GLANCE The Jayhawks shook off their tournament jitters with a 21-3 run late in the first half against Texas A&M. Now their focus turns to a dangerous Baylor team that they defeated twice comfortably in the regular season. In their first meeting, the Bears entered Allen Fieldhouse undefeated and ranked third in the nation, but they learned quickly how hard it is to beat Kansas at home as all five starters scored in double digits. In the rematch, the Jayhawks opened the second half with a 26-4 run as they went on to claim a 14-point victory. PLAYER TO WATCH Jeff Withey, junior center Withey exploded for 25 points when these two teams met on Feb. 8 in Waco, Texas. That game sparked a three-game stretch where Withey PETER J. KELLY Withew dominated on the inside for the Jayhawks. Withey has since cooled off, scoring in double-digits in just two of the last six regular season games. If Withey can get it going again, the momentum could carry the Jayhawks through the Big 12 tournament and into the NCAA tournament. Will the Jayhawks enter the game overconfident? QUESTION MARK After beating the Bears by double-digits twice this season, there is no doubt that the team will enter the game feeling good about their chances. But the Jayhawks have laid an egg at the Sprint Center before, including a loss early this season to Davidson. The Bears are a much more talented team, and if the Jayhawks don't come out strong, they could find themselves in an early deficit. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "Cole had some good games. But I don't know if he had any better than that." — Coach Bill Self said of former Kansas center Cole Aldrich after Jeff Withey's 25-point performance against Baylor BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...

Kansas looks for spot in finals Baylor struggles to compete with top teams Johnson KANSAS (27-5,17-2) STARTERS NO. 3 KANSAS VS. NO. 12 BAYLOR 6:30 P.M., SPRINT CENTER, KANSAS CITY, MO. Johnson went off against the Aggies yesterday, scoring a career high 26 points on the back of a 5-7 shooting effort from beyond the arc. He won't score 26 every day, but when he is knocking down shots from downtown, he adds a deadly element to the Jayhawk offense. TYSHAWN TAYLOR GUARD Taylor wasn't his usual, spectacular self in the Jayhawks victory yesterday, and he still finished with 16 points. This season, Taylor has been very successful against Baylor. In each of these teams meetings this season, Taylor showed up, scoring 28 points on Jan. 16 and 19 and on Feb. 8. With Baylor's strength being their frontcourt, Taylor should be able to put up big numbers for the third time. ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD ★★★★ BAYLOR (26-6,12-6) STARTERS Releford PIERRE JACKSON, GUARD PETER KENNETH Jackson PIERRE JACKSON, GUARD Jackson, the junior college transfer, has led Baylor in scoring his first season in Waco, Texas. Along with averaging 13.5 points per game, Jackson has done a strong job of sharing the ball, averaging 5.6 assists per game. Jackson is one of Baylord's most dynamic players, and will require plenty of defensive attention from the Jayhawks. DENIS MORAN ★★★★☆ Withey ★★★☆☆ 10 BRADY HESLIP, GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD Heslip TRAVIS KELLY,ORD, BOARD Releford looked downright bad as a shooter against the Tigers. He missed six of his seven shot attempts. However he continue to play pressure-filled defense, both on-the- ball and in transition, and he often tips or retrieves loose balls. His game isn't flashy, but it helps win games. THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD The Big 12 player of the year recorded his 23rd double-double of the year against The sophomore guard is the most quiet of the Baylor starters. Heslip is a three-point specialist for Bears, who has shot 43 percent from the three this season. He averages 9.3 points a game, and is a 93 percent free throw shooter ★★★☆☆ Robinson TED HUNTINGTON the Aggies. Robinson had a double-double in each of the Jayhawks games against the Bears this season, scoring 27 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in the first meeting and 15 points and 11 rebounds in the rematch. Even with the bears talented frontcourt trio, Robinson should still be able to dominate inside for the Jayhawks. A. S. C. WILSON ★★★★★ JEFF WITHEY. CENTER PACIFIC TERRITORY After being held scoreless in Columbia, Mo., Withey exploded for 25 points against Baylor in his break out game of the season. He won't score 25 this time around, but the block machine will get plenty of opportunities as the Bears will try and get the ball inside to Perry Ellis, who scored 31 points in his game against Kansas State yesterday. KANSAS 24 ★★★☆☆ ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com ★★★☆☆ adidas QUINCY MILLER, FORWARD Miller came into Baylor with a good amount of hype around him, and he's done a decent job of living up to those expectations. He's cracked the Bear's starting lineup, and has averaged 11.5 points and five rebounds per game. While Miller has struggled lately, he's shown big potential, scoring 29 points against Missouri earlier in Miller PETER BELLEBERT ★★★☆☆ QUINCY ACY. FORWARD Acy Acy, the only senior in the Bears lineup, has been one of Baylor's most consistent players this season. He's averaged 12.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and he will be crucial to the Bear's success Friday. PERRY JONES III. FORWARD ★★★★☆ Jones, a projected top ten pick, came into this season with as much hype as any player in the conference. While he has been somewhat of a disappointment this season, he's still averaged 13.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Jones has the potential to go off any given game, and he did just that against Kansas State in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, scoring 31 points. ALEXANDER RUBIO ★★★★★ Jones KU Travis Releford Travis Young/KANSAN Prediction: MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Kansas 73, Oklahoma St. 65 BAYLOR BEARS BAYLOR TIPOFF BAYLOR BEARS AT A GLANCE Pierre Jackson, guard The Bears have been one of college basketball's most puzzling teams this season. After startiing the year going 17-0 against a relatively easy non-conference schedule, Baylor finished its season on a 9-6 low. Coach Scott Drew has been criticized this season for his team's weak finish in Big 12 play, as the Bears were considered by many to be a favorite to win the Big 12 conference before the season started. Baylor does have star power, though, led by sophomore forward Pery Joness Ill, who averages 13.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. PLAYER TO WATCH --- Jackson While Jones III is the star of this Baylor team, Jackson may be the most important. The sophomore guard led Baylor in scoring this season, averaging 13.5 points per game. Jackson's performance was mediocre when Baylor first played Kansas, as he scored 11 points in the Bears 92-74 loss. However, his performance was much more aggressive in the two team's second meeting, as Jackson finished with 16-points in the Bears 14-point loss to Kansas. Look for Jackson to continue his aggressive play Friday. Which Baylor will show up? QUESTION MARK The Bears have had multiple personalities all season, and the bad basketball one came out in Baylor's first two meetings against Kansas. At times the Bears have looked like one of the nation's best teams, and at times they've made fans question whether they deserve their No. 12 ranking. None of the past will matter Friday, though, because if Baylor plays up to its potential, it will be a long day for Kansas. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "I don't know why Withey likes playing against us so much, but he looks like an All-American when he does." Scott Drew, Baylor coach BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF... Perry Jones Ill and Pierre Jackson play to their potential, while catching a relaxed Kansas team off guard. PAGE 10 FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TRACK AND FIELD Jayhawks head to NCAA championship meet Four Jayhawks will compete against their own best times MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com The Kansas women's 4x400-meter relay team arrives in Boise, Idaho for the track and field indoor national championships as Big 12 champions in the event — arguably the toughest conference in the country for the event. The team won the Big 12 title by running what stands as the fastest time in the NCAA this season. They hold an impressive resume, but the four women that will compete for Kansas on Saturday still feel underestimated by their competition. "There is no secure spot on the team because everyone is talented. So you just got to work for your spot," Morris said. It is a testament to the depth of the team that senior Shayla Wilson, an All-American in the relay just last year, will only be the team's alternate on Saturday's race. "I think they still believe that we are beatable, but we have the mindset that we are number one now and we are going to keep it that way," junior Danesha Morris said. "It's good for them to think that we're still the underdogs. That would only show them how talented of a group we are." Morris will be joined by juniors Taylor Washington, Paris Daniels and sophomore Diamond Dixon. Coach Stanley Redwine said even though they are talented sprinters, their success comes from their fierceness as competitors. The five sprinters said they all want to be a part of this relay team and the only way to do that is to earn their spot. The competitiveness is what drives them to succeed. Despite common perceptions, track as a sport is not always focused on the individual. In the relay each runner must depend on their teammates just as much as they depend on themselves to reach the ultimate goal. Dixon, the individual Big 12 champion in the 400-meter, will likely sprint to the finish for the Jayhawks. Dixon makes it clear that there is no sense of competition within the team but rather a feeling that they can rely on each other. "Relay is about all of us as a whole, it's not about I need to split this time and be faster than them," Dixon said. "It's about 'I need to split this time for my team. I need to bring the stick in first for my teammates." The five sprinters emphasized that there is always room for improvement while sitting on the track at Anschutz Pavilion the day before leaving for Boise. That they are never satisfied is a credit to their coaches. They said coach Elisha Brewer can be heard shouting words of encouragement, no matter where they are on the track. The group said Redwine won't let them be complacent. "At nationals we're ready to run faster, and I think it's because he motivates us, we're not going to stay at that time." Washington said about improving their national-best time.

A month ago the Kansas women's track and field team was not ranked. Now it's entering the NCAA indoor Championships ranked No. 6 in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches It has not been a steady climb, but rather a sudden leap of eighteen spots in mid-February. Since then the team (1) has held its ground, falling to No. 7 for only one short week. Redwine For coach Stanley Redwine he said this does not mean much, it is just somebody else's opinion of his team. Eight Jayhawks will compete this weekend at Boise State University, all women. Coach Redwine brings to the championshipa team that he believes is the best of his coaching career at Kansas. Junior horizontal jumper Andrea Geubelle is the No. 1 seed in the triple jump, and will also compete in the long jump. It is Geubelle's third time participating in indoor championships. Last year Geubelle finished eighth in the triple jump, the event in which she currently has the best jump in the nation. In the long jump she will compete against fellow Jayhawk junior Francine Simpson. This is Simpson's first time participating in the championships. Also entering as top seed is the Jayhawk's 4x400-meter relay team which includes sophomore Diamond Dixon and junior Paris Daniels. Dixon will also compete in the 400-meter race and Daniels will also run in the 200-meter dash. Daniels, who was a 400-meter national champion at the junior college level, said that her goal is to also add a title of some kind at this level, and she will have two chances this weekend. Senior Alena Krechyk set the University's record in the weight throw and has earned an automatic qualification for this spot in the national championships. She enters as the 10-seed in the event. The team as a whole appears to be peaking at the right time, and if everything goes as expected the results should continue to improve this weekend.

TYLER BOSTE/KANSAN MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com After starting the season 4-0, Kansas baseball has dropped four of their last five games and are 6-6 on the season. The Jayhawks travel to Minneapolis, Minn., Friday for the Metrodome Tournament following their one of their worst losses of the season. They fell to the previously winless Fighting Sioux of North Dakota 12-9 Wednesday. The Fighting Sioux who have been outscored this season 78-19 — Jayhawk pitching accounted for 16 of those 19 runs. "Having it slip away from us, it was a little disheartening," said freshman outfielder Conner McKay. "But it will definitely be motivation for this weekend. It will make this next series all the more important for us." Kansas will play a double-header against Stony Brook (4-3) in the Metrodome Friday before facing Minnesota (6-6) on Saturday. Stony Brook's three losses all came against East Carolina by a Minnesota has yet to play a game on the road and has scored as many runs as its opponents this season. total of just three runs and is coming off a 42-12 and season. They've outscored opponents by 21 runs on the season. Kansas has outscored its opponents by 15 runs. Coach Ritch Price says this Jayhawks team is the youngest he's ever coached. Three of five potential starting pitchers are freshmen. In the field, four freshmen see regular playing time. Coming off a tough loss, the Jayhawks need their veterans like to lead the team and inspire the young players. "For us to be good, the seniors have to produce," Price said. "If they don't produce, we're going to struggle while those young guys figure it out." Price said redshirt junior first baseman Jake Marasco, senior third baseman Zac Elgie, senior designated hitter Chris Manship and senior catcher James Stanfield are the leaders of the team. This season they've combined for just 22 RBIs in 12 games. Take away Elgie's bat, and the team's emotional leaders have a combined 10 RBIs on the season. McKay said he is looking forward to getting back on the field this weekend and to prove that they are a better team than the one who lost to North Dakota, Wednesday. "We take this loss with a chip on our shoulder," McKay said. "Everybody's going to be scrapping for hits and everybody's going to be working that much harder." Kansas likes to score in the first inning. Of the 64 runs Kansas has scored this season, 19 came in the first inning, or 29.6 percent of their runs. To be successful this weekend, Jayhawk hitters will need to score more consistently throughout the game. The lajhawks will turn to freshman Wes Benjamin (1-1, 3.06), junior Thomas Taylor (1-1, 2.29) and sophomore Frank Duncan (2-1, 3.48) to bounce back from a 1-4 week. Edited by Nadia Imafidon SOFTBALL Team focuses on games ahead, not on current win-streak ALEC TILSON alectilson@kansan.com The Kansas softball team, after starting the season with two losses, has rattled off 15 wins in a row, the second-longest streak in school history. The team has not lost in more than three weeks and, yet, the team would rather not talk about it. "It doesn't matter," coach Megan Smith said. "We don't think about how many in a row, it's just about executing each day we go out." Kansas (15-2) has a chance to extend that streak today when it begins a five-game weekend at the Osprey Classic in jacksonville, Florida. The team faces Delaware Perhaps overshadowed by the team's win streak was senior outfielder Liz Kocon's record-setting day on March 3 against Wisconsin. St. three times and North Florida twice this weekend before conference playbegins next Friday. Uda. The team faces Delaware Leading 1-0 R. Hull Kocon and already having scored the team's only run, Kocon hit a three- run home run and became KU's all-time RBI leader with 119. She passed the 2006 Big 12 Player of the Year Serena Settlemier (117) and accounted for every run in the Kansas' 4-0 victory. Kocon said she didn't know she was close to the milestone until teammates told her the week before. Now, she's relieved that it's in the books. "I was kind of pressing for it," Kocon said. "It was definitely good to have it over with. I can just relax and be my aggressive self again up at the plate." Kocon leads a Kansas offense that ranks second in the Big 12 in team batting average .322). Three hitters rank in the top 10 in the conference in individual batting average: junior outfielders Rosie Hull (.412) and Maggie Hull (.386) and sophomore infielder Ashley Newman (.407). "We have a lot of go-to hitters," Smith said. "It's not just two or three; now we have a complete lineup of people that are stepping up." Still, it is the pitching staff's turnaround that underlies the team's string of victories. After walking nine batters and allowing six runs in her first two starts, freshman pitcher Alicia Pille (7-2) pieced together seven straight wins. She allowed just seven runs and struck out 70 in those starts. Pille's 81 strikeouts already total more than any KU pitcher recorded last season and gives the team a power arm it lacked a year ago. "Those were just awful games," Pille said. "I think sometimes you just need a reality check." She said those first two losses were forgettable, but not necessarily a bad thing. "She's the missing piece," Smith said. "We've missed someone like Alicia who is a strikeout pitcher, who can come in and be dominant and get an out herself when she needs to." Junior pitcher Morgan Druhan (5-0) has posted two complete games and sophomore pitcher Kristin Martinez (3-0), who won 12 games last season, leads all starting pitchers with a 2.14 ERA. Smith said all three pitchers would get the ball this weekend as the team could tie or pass the school's longest streak of 17 consecutive wins. Without mentioning the streak, Kocon wasn't bashful in her expectations for the weekend. "We're going to go out and just dominate Florida," Kocon said. "If we do that - when we do that - it will be really good and we'll be in a good position." - Edited by Max Lush THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2012 PAGE 11 QUOTE OF THE DAY "These are serious violations and we understand the negative impact it has had on our game." Payton and Loomis said in a joint statement Tuesday, "Both of us have made it clear within our organization that this will never happen again, and make that same promise to the NFL and most importantly to all of our fans." — A joint statement released by New Orleans head coach and general manager Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis on March 6 about their involvement in "Bounty-gate". FACT OF THE DAY There were 50,000 pages of evidence describing a bounty system under former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams that involved between 22 and 27 players. chicagotribune.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Where did Greg W coaching job? A: He was Belton (Mo.) High School's head coach from 1984 to 1987. Belton is about 51 miles away from Lawrence. THE MORNING BREW 'Bounty-Gate' infamy damages sport After arriving home from an extensive study session at Watson Library earlier this week, I flipped on Sports Center to get caught up all the fantastic college basketball finishes I had missed. Instead of enjoying the highlights I found myself muting the television. ESPN began showing a roundtable to discuss the current New Orleans Saints bounty scandal. It was the usual group of analysts: Tedy Bruschi, Marcellus Wiley, Steve Young and Tom Jackson — just to name a few. All of them had different opinions, and after two minutes, I couldn't take it anymore. By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com Last Friday, the NFL produced evidence that "between 22 and 27 Saints players," as well as former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, pooled their own money to pay out performance bonuses for injuring opposing players and knocking them out of the game. The report also stated current coach Sean Payton and current general manager Mickey Loomis knew of the bounty system and did nothing to stop it when the Saints owner Tom Benson ordered them to do so. There have always been bounties since the creation of football, but it was never anything of this magnitude. Now, with this news from New Orleans, several other players that Williams coached with the Buffalo Bills, Houston Oilers and Washington Redskins have come forward and said bounty systems were in place while he was coaching for those programs, as well. Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, and Brett Favre were all targets of the bounty program. Former Colts coach Tony Dungy told Dan Patrick on Monday's Dan Patrick Show that he now suspects Williams may have put a bounty on Manning before an October 22, 2006 game between the Colts and the Redskins. Williams was the defensive coordinator of Washington at the time. During that game, Manning suffered from a hit, which many suspect caused the neck problems he suffers from today. I've read dozens of columns, trying to form my opinion on this situation. I've read a lot about the anger, animosity and hypocrisy of the NFL. All of these points are true, and all of them are deserved. Payton and Loomis need to be fired from the Saints' program. The NFL continues to display their new concussion policy while showing us constant replays of players in the very next frame. It's the constant balance we deal with while getting enjoyment out of one of the most profitable sports leagues in the world. Charles P. Pierce, a contributing writer for grantland.com, summed up the entire situation best in his piece on Monday: "What we have here now is the face of organized savagery, plain and simple, and no amount of commercials showing happy kids cavorting with your dinged-up superstars can ameliorate any of that." We're at a crossroads as football fans. We love the game,but because of social networking and 24/7 reporting,we learn more and more about the horrors that surround America's favorite Sunday KU entertainment. But what pisses me off the most about the "Bounty-Gate" scandal is the morals of the people running the Saints. They don't care about the integrity of the game. They don't care about setting a good example for the next generation of football players. They care about flaunting their money through male testosterone, because winning isn't enough. I just hope the NFL does the right thing and makes an example of these people. "Bounty-Gate" will continue to develop throughout the week, although the Peyton Manning sweepstakes will sweep it under the rug for the next few days. But this issue is far from being over. More details will surface,but in the end the damage has been done. — Edited by Corinne Westeman This week in athletics Friday Men's Basketball Big 12 Championship Semifinal 6:30 p.m. Sprint Center, Kansas City, Mo.

Talk to Richard 785-766-3538 Volume 124 Issue 114 Friday, March 9, 2012 S sports kansan.com COMMENTARY In 2008 I witnessed, what I thought was the greatest basketball game I had ever seen. No.5 Kansas absorbed the best blow No. 8 Texas could possibly deliver, and when the fight was done, Kansas was the team still standing. I left the Sprint Center convinced both teams would soon meet again in the national championship game. While Kansas did go on to play in the national championship game — one that did become the greatest basketball game I have ever seen — Texas did not. That game alone was the final battle Kansas needed to gain the confidence to win the even grander fight ahead. That game showed Kansas that their best was better than anyone else's in the country. And that game is why conference tournaments matter. If you don't remember that game, or weren't watching, here is a quick recap: With both teams bringing their best, Texas took a one-point lead into halftime. Kansas made 15 of 25 threes on the night and won by 10. Mario Chalmers had 30 points and Brandon Rush had 19. Kansas and Missouri. One last time, Part two. Big 12 not just for show And with this impending third Kansas-Missouri battle on the way, it's no understatement to say that the country will be watching closely. So here we are: Less than 24 hours away from a possible Kansas City Armageddon. And the effort Kansas will have to muster to beat Baylor a third time will be a strenuous one. If Kansas wins, fatigue will have set in by the time they get the opportunity to start to think about Missouri. Friday night, the Jayhawks will once again play No 11 Baylor. Kansas absolutely dismantled Baylor in the schools' previous two outings, winning by a total of 32 points. "I think it's hardest to beat a team the third time," Bill Self said. "Because sometimes the physiological advantage goes to the team that you've beaten. We played pretty good against Baylor both games, but we haven't gotten their best shot yet. And I anticipate getting that best shot tomorrow." Sure, these conference tournaments are just a warm-up for the NCAA Tournament. But this "warm-up" is the greatest preparation tool for any collegiate sporting event. And it's only fitting that this series of major events precedes the NCAA Tournament — the grandest three weeks in sports. So if this Kansas team — that has surprised the fans, the media, and coach Self already this season — can surprise us once more in Kansas City, it may not be the last surprise it holds.

JOHNSON FINDS HIS SHOT, JAYHAWKS WIN MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com twitter.com/udk_bball KANSAS CITY, Mo., — Junior guard Elijah Johnson's uncle passed away last week and services were held Tuesday. Johnson was away from his teammates for three days, spending time with family. When he returned, coach Bill Self took notice of something. In practice on Wednesday, in preparation for the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Johnson's shot just looked right. "It looked as pure as it looked all year long," Self said. "I told him that." Johnson took the words to heart and scored a career-high 26 points on Thursday afternoon, as No. 3 Kansas (27-5, 16-2) defeated the Texas A&M Aggies 83-66. "I think coach kind of gave me a couple of words I needed to hear after going what I went through," Johnson said. "You can't really double the post like you want to because he'll just kick it out every time," Ifonly Johnson could face the Aggies everyday. When the Jayhawks last faced them on Feb. 22 in College Station, Texas, Johnson scored 18 points in the first half and energized a stagnant bunch with his quick scoring. But in that game, Johnson scored much of his points with layups. On Wednesday afternoon, he thrived by way of the long ball, knocking down five of seven three-point shots and eight of 11 shots overall. Aggies forward Khris Middleton said. "We just wanted to try to make it hard on the post and contest their threes, but they made most of those." Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds — his 23rd double-double of the season — both of his two three-point shots. It was the first game of Robinson's career that he made more than one three-pointer. Despite a sloppy start that included a badly missed layup, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor turned it on as the game progressed. He hit three of four three-pointers and finished with 16 points. With Johnson, Robinson and SEE BASKETBALL PAGE 6 KANAS 15 HARRIS 1 Loss leaves team with uncertainty WOMEN'S BASKETBALL KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo., — The Jayhawks walked off the court with long faces. A victory against Texas A&M would have likely cemented a spot in the NCAA Tournament, but a loss sends them back to the uncertainty they have faced the past few weeks. Kansas held a five-point lead in the first half and was only down two points at the break, but after the Texas A&M run in the second half, Kansas fell 78-63 to the defending national champions in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament. Now the wait begins. "When they attacked us, we didn't answer back," said junior guard Angel Goodrich. "In this league, you have to get an answer." Kansas had five possessions to the final seconds of the shot clock. One ended in a last-second three-pointer from Goodrich, while the other four ended in shot-clock violations. These were a large part of the team's 16 turnovers compared to eight from Texas A&M. Goodrich shot eight of 17 from the field and four of eight from three to lead the Jayhawks during the game with 21 points and nine assists. Freshman guard Natalie Knight, freshman forward Chelsea Gardner, senior forward Aishah Sutherland followed Goodrich in double figures. Asia Boyd was the only other Jayhawk to score in the outing, after knocking down a free throw late in the game. "We ask a great deal from her, but she has stepped and answered over and over and over again," Henrickson said. "We just weren't aggressive enough behind her." Gardner fouled out with 5:09 left in the game and the Jayhawks fell flat after, allowing a 6-0 run before scoring again two and a half minutes later. The Aggies brought a balanced attack with four of their own players in double figures. Junior Kelsey Bone, senior Sydney Carter and senior Adora Elonu scored in their usual fashion, but the dagger was Alexia Standish, who scored a career-high 25 points after scoring just eight points in each of the first two series match ups. Standish started in the place of Kansas City native Tyra White who missed the game because of a foot injury. Standish easily took over in her spot, draining six of nine three-point attempts and shooting eight of 13 from the field. Knight was charged with guarding Standish, but she scored through both of the man-to-man and zone defenses. "We just kind of lost sight of the shooters, and that hurt us down the stretch," Knight said. "She knocked down big shots today." 4 Goodrich and Carter battled at the point guard spot for all 40 minutes with similar stat lines. Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said that the Aggies looked at Goodrich coming out of high school and said the matchup comes down to passion and speed. "Angel Goodrich is probably the best scorer and point guard in the league," Blair said. Edited by Nadia Imafidon The Jayhawks will return to Lawrence and take a couple days off before regrouping Sunday for film and a light practice. They have to wait for the selection show on Monday night, which will decide their placement next weekend.

Kansas opens play in Omaha, Neb. on Friday against Detroit. MIDWEST REGION MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com It's not what the Jayhawks were hoping for, but they'll take it. "Should be a No.1 seed," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "But we're cool with that No.2 seed." The Jayhawks (27-6, 16-2) enter the 68-team NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed in the Midwest region. Their first matchup is in Omaha, Neb, on Friday night at 8:57 against No. 15 seed Detroit (22-13, 11-7) of the Horizon League. If they defeat Detroit, they will face the winner of No. 7 Saint Mary's and No. 10 Purdue. No matter the seed for Kansas, it takes six victories to win a national championship. "It never plays out the way that you had envisioned it," Self said. Coach Bill Self said that while his team hoped for a No. 1 seed, it won't harp on what could have been. Year after the year, the supposedly mighty always fall, so seeds are irrelevant. The Jayhawks have been a No. 1 seed the past two seasons, but they lost to No. 9 seed Northern Iowa in 2010 and No. 11 seed Virginia Commonwealth last year. With all the prestige and national attention of a No.1 seed, so too comes the pressure of expectations. "We kind of felt like we had to win it," Taylor said of those two teams. "I think we feel the same way this year, but I don't feel like it's on us as much." The Jayhawks weren't surprised to hear that the selection committee chose them as a No. 2 seed behind No.1 seeds Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina and Michigan State. Self briefed his team before the seeds were announced. "I told them we blew that by not performing in Kansas City", Self said. "When we do really guard and In Friday night's Big 12 tournament semifinal at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., Kansas fell 81-72 to the Baylor Bears. Despite defeating the Bears twice by an average of 16 points earlier this season, the Jayhawks said they were tired. They played without the vigor that usually carries them to victories. rebound, which I think are two key elements of toughness," Self said, "our team takes a whole different dimension." Kansas' first opponent, the Detroit Titans, started the season 9-11, but finished 13-2 en route to a Horizon League tournament championship. The Titans feature five double-digit scorers and are led by Ray McCallum Jr., the son of coach Ray McCallum Sr. McCallum Jr., who was recruited by Self before he joined his father's team, averages 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. "Ray is good enough to play for anybody, anywhere." Self said. "Certainly whoever guards him, Elijah or Tyshawn, will have a big challenge ahead of him." The brackets are set. The teams are ready. And no matter the seeds, it's on. It's time for March Madness. "If we prepare like we want to win and we're kind of like an underdog," Taylor said, "I think it's going to be hard to beat us."

Individuals or groups of students can submit a minute-long video detailing what they think the rock wall should be named until Thursday, March 29. Submissions will be judged for their creativity, relevance and appropriateness. The top three videos will be posted on the rec's Facebook page, where people can vote for their favorite from April 2-13. The winning individual or group will receive prizes, including gift cards from Pizza Shuttle, McAlister's, Fuzzy's Taco Shop and Liberty Hall. "You don't have to be in the journalism school or a film student and have a real camera," Devinee Fitzgerald, a senior from Wichita and the rec's marketing program manager, said. "We've seen other contests where people shoot video on their cell phones and it turns out really good, so it's not something that you have to be a professional at." Fitzgerald said the contest is also a way to attract the attention of students who might not be interested in traditional workout equipment. It also promotes the activities available through the rec's Outdoor Pursuits program, which operates wall."

ACADEMICS KU fall semester honor roll anounced The University announced in a press release that the students are from the Lawrence campus and the school of allied health and nursing in Kansas City, Kan. The University released the names of about 4,500 undergraduate students last Wednesday who made the honor roll for the fall 2011 semester. "The honor roll comprises undergraduates who meet requirements in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and in the schools of allied health; architecture, design and planning; business; education; engineering; journalism; music; nursing; pharmacy; and social welfare," the release said. Students on the list are from 93 of the 105 counties in Kansas, 40 states other than Kansas, the District of Columbia and 31 other countries. The number is up from approximately 4,400 students who made the honor roll in spring 2011. Students from all schools must meet a certain number of credit hours each semester before qualifying for the honor roll, but exact requirements vary throughout the departments. The full list is available online at http://www.newsku.edu/2012/march/7/honorrollfaf11.shtml. — Rachel Salyer STUDENT POLITICS Passive tabling rights allowed for coalitions Students can expect to see coalitions setting up tables as today marks the first day passive tabling is allowed. Passive tabling means that candidates running for student body president, vice president and senator seats can only set up tables and talk with a student or distribute campaign materials only if they are approached by the student according to the Student Senate Election Code for the upcoming elections April 11 and 12. Candidates or representatives can't conduct passive tabling inside university buildings except inside on-campus housing and the Kansas and Burge Unions. Violating the rules about passive tabling is considered a minor offense and is punishable with a $25 fine, or a non-monetary penalty deemed appropriate by the Elections Commission, which is the body that oversees student elections. Active table campaigning, in which candidates and representatives can approach students, will not start until April 9. During this period, passive table campaigning can be done in the Art & Design, Marvin, Summerfield, Pearson, Learned, Eaton, Murphy, Stauffer-Flint, Green and Twente halls. If campagining in one of these buildings, only one table per coalition or independent candidate is allowed. Also, tabling can't be conducted in any area "where it would substantially obstruct walkways or disrupt classroom environments," according to the election code. Active table campaigning, in which candidates and representatives can approach students, will not start until April 9.

GOP CAUCUS Santorum wins Kansas presidential nomination TOPEKA, Kan. — Rick Santorum overwhelmingly won the Kansas Republican presidential caucuses on Saturday, bolstering his claim that front-runner Mitt Romney hasn't locked up the GOP nomination. The state GOP projected that Santorum will pick up 33 of the state's 40 delegates after receiving more than 50 percent of the vote. Romney, who didn't campaign in Kansas, hovered just above the 20 percent threshold needed to capture delegates and was projected to pick up seven. "We've had a very, very good day in our neighboring state of Kansas," Santorum told several hundred people at a rally in Springfield, Mo. He called the win "comfortable" and said he was looking forward to claiming "the vast majority of delegates." Santorum enjoyed support from some small-government conservatives in Kansas and, more importantly, many abortion opponents who make up a core constituency of the state GOP, including leaders of Kansans for Life. He portrayed himself as the non-establishment candidate, telling locals that their caucuses were crucial ahead of other post-Super Tuesday contests in the South. Final, unofficial reports from the 96 caucus sites showed Santorum winning 51 percent of the vote compared to Romney's 21 percent.

The campaign by the advocacy group Invisible Children to make militia leader Joseph Kony a household name has received enormous attention on YouTube and other Internet sites this week. Ugandans criticize Invisible Children video campaign But critics said the video glosses over a complicated history that made it possible for Kony to rise to the notoriety he has today. They also lamented that the video does not inform viewers that Kony originally was waging war against Uganda's army, whose human rights record has been condemned as brutal by independent observers. "There is no historical context. It's more like a fashion thing," said Timothy Kalyegira, a well-known social critic in Uganda who once published a newsletter called The Uganda Record. Ogenga Latigo, a politician from northern Uganda who previously led the opposition in Uganda's Parliament, said Invisible Children's perspective was too narrow to be allowed to define the popular understanding of an insurgency that displaced millions and in which ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS The anti-Kony campaign has gone viral, but sees opposition in Uganda. THE thousands were killed or abducted. "Theirs is a narrow perspective," he said of Invisible Children's work. "They just want the war to end so that children can go back home. That's all." American soldier kills 16 Afghanis in village near base ASIA BALANDI, Afghanistan — An American soldier opened fire on villagers near his base in southern Afghanistan Sunday and killed 16 civilians, according to President Hamid Karzil, who called it an "assassination" and furiously demanded an explanation from Washington. Nine children and three women were among the dead. The killing spree deepened a crisis between U.S. forces and their Afghan hosts over Americans burning Muslim holy books on a base in Afghanistan last month. The burnings sparked weeks of violent protests and attacks that left some 30 dead. Six U.S. service members have been killed by their Afghan colleagues since the Quran burnings came to light, and the violence had just started to calm down. "This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven." Karzai said in a statement. He said he has repeatedly demanded the U.S. stop killing Afghan civilians. President Barack Obama called the attack "tragic and shocking" and offered his condolences to the families of those killed. In a statement released by the White House, he vowed "to get the facts as quickly as possible and to hold accountable anyone responsible." The tensions between the two countries had appeared to be easing as recently as Friday, when the U.S. and Afghan governments signed a memorandum of understanding about the transfer The violence over the Quran burnings had already spurred calls in the U.S. for a faster exit strategy from the 10-year-old Afghan war. ] ASSOCIATED PRESS Sixteen Afghanis were killed by an American soldier Sunday.

Speeches by young activists like 27-year-old Maxim Kats, however, showed that some of the new political energy that has emerged in Russia in recent months is being channeled into local politics and civic activism. Kats and two others in their 20s, who just wore seats on municipal councils, were among a number of speakers who called on Muscovites to get involved in how their city is run, starting with their own neighborhoods. Putin, who was Russia's president from 2000 to 2008 and then moved into the prime minister's office to avoid a constitutional ban on more than two consecutive terms, won a third term in the March 4 election with 64 percent of the vote. Because of a change in the length of the presidential term, he is set to return to the Kremlin for six years and would be eligible to run for six more.

NORTH AMERICA 50-year-old remains of 167 bodies found in cave MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities have found the remains of 167 people in a southern Mexican cave, and forensic experts believe the remains are at least 50 years old, according to a statement from Chiapas state prosecutors. The statement released Saturday said the remains were found Friday on the Nuevo Ojo de Agua ranch in an area frequently used by Central American migrants traveling north. The statement said there were no visible signs of violence on the remains, which "break easily." The statement said authorities will "not discard any line of investigation." The remains were discovered stacked atop each other in the cave, said a prosecutor's office employee who was not authorized to release information and asked not to be identified. The remains have been moved to the state capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez for examination, the employee said.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: M equals T Dennis Quaid to be divorced for third time LOS ANGELES — Dennis Quaid's third wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, has reportedly filed for divorce, asking for spousal support and attorney's fees. "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities ... that destroys the legitimate ends of the ma A Quaid riage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation," said the divorce filing, obtained by TMZ. The two have a temporary custody agreement in place as well, the website said, giving each party time with the young kids. Kimberly reportedly has custody of their main home. Quaid was previously married to actress P.J. Soles, divoring in 1983, and more famously to Meg Ryan. He and Ryan split in 2001 after 10 years of marriage. Quaid relocated to Austin, Texas, last year with Buffington-Quaid and their twins, saying, "L.A. has been good to us, but at this point in my life I'm ready to try something new." The couple were married in July 2004. —McClatchy Tribune TELEVISION Britney Spears signs on as 'X Factor' judge LOS ANGELES — Looks like Simon Cowell has found his next judge: Brittany Spears. After weeks of speculation, the pop star is close to signing on for the second season of Cowell's "The X Factor" on Fox, according to published reports. A spokeswoman for Cowell declined to comment, as did a Fox representative. But Deadline.com says that Spears has been offered $10 million for the gig, which would put her just under the $12 million that Jennifer Lopez is making at the rival "American Idol." Cowell sacked judges Nicole Scherzinger and Abdul after the first season of "X Factor" produced lower-than-expected ratings last fall. As a recording artist who has sold more than 100 million records — as well as a longtime tabloid fixture — Spears could give the program an instant PR boost. Meanwhile, there are signs that viewers are growing tired of "Idol." This season, ratings for NBC's "The Voice" have pulled even with the Fox show, which has aired every year since 2002. 4 ATHLETES MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Britney Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Fedlerine at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards Dec. 8, 2004. McClatchy Tribune Magic Johnson makes ESPN documentary MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers legend and entrepreneur Earvin "Magic" Johnson made "The Announcement," an ESPN documentary about his life with a frightening diagnosis, to remind people that HIV and AIDS are still both fatal — and preventable. PETER WILSON MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE "I am not cured;" he says at the film's end. Director Nelson George's moving and informative film does that and more. It highlights, among other things, the wonder that was Magic Johnson as a basketball player, the apresmoi madness of L.A. in the '80s, the horror of the AIDS crisis, the value and valor of frankness and, perhaps most important, why, despite all the heartbreak they cause, we still need sports heroes. When he came to Los Angeles in 1979, he not only helped turn the Lakers into a championship franchise, he and his on-court rival Larry Bird of the Celtics helped re-energize a sagging NBA. "I didn't drink or smoke," Johnson says, "because that would get in the way of winning, but there were other things to tempt me." "Other things" being the many women who surrounded him, separating him for some time from his college sweetheart, Cookie, whom Johnson would eventually marry. The 1980s were also shadowed by the AIDS epidemic, but the crisis could not have seemed Nov 7, 2011 marked the 20th anniversary of Magic Johnson's announcement that he was HIV-positive. more removed from the world of Magic Johnson. Married, with a child on the way, he was at the top of his game when a routine blood test in October 1991 for an insurance policy revealed he was HIV positive. Set to play an exhibition game in Utah, he was called home by his longtime agent Lon Rosen and received the devastating news. Then he had to do what he says was the most difficult task of his life: tell his wife. Fortunately, she was not infected, but a second test revealed that the virus had progressed enough that doctors recommended Johnson immediately retire from basketball. "But I am going to beat this," he said at the time, with a smile, "and I'll see you all again soon." So, though others, including Cookie, advised privacy, Johnson called a news conference to announce, in characteristically simple and upbeat tones, that having contracted the HIV virus, he would be leaving the Lakers. $ A MAP THAT KNOWS YOUR WALLET.

Military intervention in Iran a possibility As the debate over Iran's nuclear program continues to intensify, one of two bad outcomes seems increasingly likely - a nuclear armed Iran and a war with Iran that may or may not involve the U.S. But is there a way to avoid both? By Jacob Keplar jkeplar@kansan.com Iran continues to claim that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, including nuclear power and medical research. But over the last decade it has repeatedly refused to give International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors full access to all of its nuclear sites. Although IAEA inspectors have not seen all of Iran's nuclear facilities, they have never definitively stated that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Nevertheless, at times, the inspectors have been suspicious of some of Iran's nuclear activities. Both the U.S. and Israel as well as the European Union and several countries in the Persian Gulf have concerns about the Iranian nuclear program, but there is no consensus on how to deal with the issue. The U.S. and Israel in particular have been at odds over how exactly to approach the problem. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the U.S. and met with President Obama to discuss the ongoing problems surrounding the Iranan nuclear program. Netanyahu seems to be beating the drum of war while Obama has been more cautious and willing to let sanctions run their course. Will the U.S. involve itself in another war? Does Israel have the military capability to destroy Iran's nuclear program? ASSOCIATED PRESS Obama did clarify his stance recently stating that he does not have a policy of simply containing a nuclear armed Iran once it has a nuclear weapon. His stated policy is that he is committed to the prevention of an Iranian nuclear weapon. If Israel does decide to unilaterally attack Iran, several questions remain unanswered. Will the U.S. involve itself in another war? Does Israel have the military capability to destroy Iran's nuclear program? Answers to these questions are critical in Israel's decision on whether or not to unilaterally attack Iran. المنطقة العظمى President Obama's more cautious approach and his reliance on sanctions do seem to be taking their toll on Iran. Most notably Iran's currency, the rial, has lost more than half its value since September, according to the Economic Times. In a recent interview on CNN, Senator Diane Fainstsein, the chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Iran is one to two years away from being able to create a nuclear weapon. If this intelligence is correct, it may strengthen Obama's position of allowing sanctions to continue to impact Iran before rushing to military action. Last week brought an agreement to resume negotiations between Iran and the permanent members of the UN Security Council along with Germany. There have been no details released about these negotiations, but if all parties are indeed willing to return to the negotiating table, this may be the best way to avoid a military confrontation. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaks at a ceremony April 9, 2007, in Iran's nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, 186 miles south of capital Tehran. While much is known about Iran's nuclear activities from U.N. inspection visits, significant questions remain uncertain, fueling fears of worst-case scenarios and calls for new Mideast military action. For the time being, these new negotiations seem to be President Obama's best option. Preventing unilateral attack while making Iran realize the U.S. is both willing and able to launch a military strike. But this will be easier said than done. Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon without taking military action against Iran, would certainly be the best case scenario. But Israel is still a wild card. Prime Minister Netanyahu does not appear to be as patient as President Obama. President Obama and defense and intelligence officials need to continue to advise Israel against a keptar is a junior from Rusalia, Kan. ENTERTAINMENT 'Game of Thrones returning in April If you aren't already a fan of this popular show, you will be soon Brace yourselves, "Game of Thrones" is coming. At the beginning of next month, the Stark and Lannister families will be back to duke it out on your TV screen or, more likely, the TV screen of your friend who has cable. Note: I'll try to mention as few spoilers as possible, though if you're anything like me, you already got scared and stopped reading at "brace yourselves." If you're not already familiar with the series, "Game of Thrones," is a fantasy TV show, on HBO, based on the bestselling series "A Song of Ice & Fire," written by George R.R. Martin. The first book in the series is titled "Game of Thrones", which they then used as the title of the TV show because "A Song of Ice & Fire" is admittedly kind of stupid sounding. By Lou Schumaker lschumaker@kansan.com The series mostly focuses on three story lines: a civil war for the throne in the fictional land of Westeros, the maturation of an exiled warrior-princess and the going-ons of a haunted forest in the North. Those are the three main storylines, but dozens more unfold as the series progresses. The books' universe keeps expanding with every new volume and the characters travel here and there, and new lands are introduced with their own history and customs. New characters show up, some good, some bad. Some stick around, some leave and show up later. Some get their heads chopped off. Circle of life! Since its premiere, "Game of Thrones" has gained widespread popularity and critical acclaim, and Peter Dinklage has become an unlikely favorite of nerds everywhere for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. Personally, I have only read the books and am not super familiar with the show, even though I didn't start until well after the series premiered. While it might be soft to pretend I had some lofty intellectual reason for only reading the books, it was really just that I wanted to know what happens right now. I don't have time for HBO to mount a lavish production, darn it! However, I can say that the second season is shaping up to be even better than the first. Second seasons are often the strongest season of a given TV show, plus the second book had a lot of scenes of Tyrion doing awesome things and, hey, who doesn't like that? If you've only just started the show, then I envy you. You've yet to experience the joys of the Battle of the Blackwater or Arya's trek through the wilderness. You've yet to encounter the tedious mess that is the country of Dorne and whatever Brienne's whole deal is. Also, at this point, only a couple of your favorite characters have been brutally murdered. That's gonna happen a lot more as the series progresses. As much as I would love to start watching the show, I'm not sure I can re-engage with George R.R. Martin's epic series knowing that it's going to be upwards of five years before a new installation is released. Five years?! I can't wait that long! I mean, can you guys believe what happened at the end of the fifth book? It was, in a word, bonkers. Schumaker is a senior in film and media studies from Overland Park. RELATIONSHIPS Remember and hold onto old friendships Always appreciate old friends and those who love you I learned to grasp the harsh reality of knowing that any person, no matter how great, how old, or how healthy they are, can be taken in an instant from the moment my father told me that my 9-year-old brother died suddenly of brain complications when I was 7. Along with that reality comes positives and negatives. You love deeper. You live slower. You say I love you more. You form more meaningful relationships. You learn these things are important after playing hundreds of memories in your head over and over, recreating the scenes in which you could have appreciated this person more and gotten it through their head how much you really love them. And I've tried to do my best turning the "should-haves" to "I wills." I try to By Mandy Matney mmatney@kansan.com friends I made during high school. Looking back, my entire high school career would have been different without his friendship. He was the kind of friend I could always depend on to make me laugh in my worst moments. He could always give me an honest answer when I needed it And even though you might not have spoken to your old best friends in years, they mean more to you than they think. appreciate the presence of those I love in my life and let them know how much I care about them. It wasn't until three weeks ago when I realized that as much as I told myself I was truly valuing the people who I love in my life in recognition of my brother's death, I really wasn't. My entire perception changed the moment I received a text message telling me one of my best friends from high school, Mike, was in a coma after a terrible car accident. the most. We had a strictly platonic relationship (I dated his best friend for almost two years), but he still Mike was a one of the first But unfortunately, we both unintentionally let our friendship fade beginning after graduation. Our lives quickly moved in different directions. We went from hanging out with each other almost every weekend to only seeing each other during breaks, to hardly ever speaking. I would go above and beyond to let me know he cared about me, doing things like buying me flowers when I had a terrible day or walking to my house in the rain to give me a birthday card he made. We referred to one another as family for four years. got so caught up with my college friends and the life I've made for myself here that I rarely even thought about the people who helped make me who I am. You can tell yourself that friendships all fade for a good reason, but it's far from the truth. People change, but they still stay the same at their core. I've realized this while clinging to my core group of friends from high school in the midst of Mike's tragedy. Sure, we go off in different directions and make different friends, but it doesn't mean that we no longer can have occasional catch-ups with the people who helped build us. And even though you might not have spoken to your old best friends in years, they mean more to you than they think. From the moment I heard that Mike was in a coma, he consumed my entire mindset. All I could do was worry about how he was doing, remember about what a great friend he was to me and kick myself for letting a friendship like that fade away without even a fight. I realized he still meant the world to me. And I was lucky this time because Mike woke up eventually. There is still time to fully appreciate him and the others I've shoved to the side over the past few years and fully grasp every thing I've gained from my brother's death.

Zellner upbringing to further the civil rights movement. PETER E. BURKE "My boss at the country store was a unitarian universalist, an equalitarian. He taught me not to be racist." Zellner said. The civil rights activist spoke to students Wednesday night about the history of the civil rights movement and why he thinks the fight for those rights still isn't over today. Zellner said he has firsthand knowledge of the work that was done to obtain some racial equality. Zellner said during his freshman year of college in 1961, he was assigned a paper on solutions to the racial problems at Huntington College in Montgomery, Ala. "Me and four other students went to our dean and told him that we wanted to meet Dr. King and Rosa Parks to interview them for our papers." Zellner said. Even though the dean warned them they would be arrested, Zellner and his fellow students attended a protest at a local church lead by Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. While Zellner was in the church that day, Rosa Parks gave him simple advice. "She came up to me, placed her hand on my left elbow and said. 'Bob, when you see something wrong, you have to take action.' I'll never forget that,' Zellner said. "After briefly meeting with Dr. King, he assisted us in running away so we wouldn't be arrested. Here we were, five young, white boys who grew up top class, instantly becoming criminals because of segregation laws," Zellner said. Zellner was arrested 18 times in several states for offenses such as breaking segregation laws and "inciting the black population to acts of war and violence" Zellner refused to let the law keep him from pursuing equality. "The more we got arrested, the more dedicated we became. We knew we could survive and that we were still going forward. We were a very strong collective brother and sisterhood," Zellner said. America must strive for something that gives back to humanity according to Zellner. The Office of Multicultural Affairs sponsored Zellner's speech, and the office's associate director, Precious Porras, said she hoped Zellner would send a message to the students. "My mind was blown. He's a living legend. When he said he was in jail with Dr. King, who can say that?" she said. "It was incredibly inspiring." Zellner, along with other activists, will lead students on a Freedom Summer ride through the south to relive history. The dates of the Freedom Summer Ride have not yet been determined. "If we don't want to go back to (those days) we have to do more than we ever have in these next eight to ten months. We can't sit around anymore," Zellner said.

Edited by Nadia Imafidon COURT Accused man arrested for courthouse attack SEATTLE — A man accused in a courthouse attack in Washington state that left a sheriff's deputy with a gunshot wound and a judge stabbed has been arrested. Authorities arrested Steven Daniel Kravetz, 34, Saturday afternoon at his mother's home in the state capital of Olympia, Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott said. The gun taken from the deputy during Friday's attack in the small town of Montesano and other evidence were recovered, he said. Scott identified Kravetz earlier in the day as the lone assailant in Friday's attack that wounded Judge David Edwards and Deputy Polly Davin. Dozens of law enforcement officers had joined the manhunt for him. Kravetz's mother called police to turn her son in after authorities released a flier with her photo and her son's photo Saturday, according to the Seattle Times. Kravetz was the only one in the house at the time of the arrest and gave himself up voluntarily around 1:30 p.m., said Olympia Police Lt. Jim Costa. No one was injured. "Why he was at the courthouse yesterday remains a mystery," Scott said, adding that his motive is unclear. Scott said his deputies haven't had contact with Kravetz since a 2005 domestic violence incident that was handled in Grays Harbor District Court. More recently, Kravetz made a number of public information records requests related to that incident, he added. In 2008, Steven Kravetz was convicted in Lewis County of third degree assault and making false or misleading statements to a public servant. He served 102 days on the charges, the Daily World of Aberdeen reported. In that incident, Centralia police Sgt. Stacy Denham told the Seattle Times that Kravetz was arrested after he refused to cooperate with police after being kicked out of a Centralia public library. Scott said courthouse witnesses identified Kravetz as the man who was behaving strangely in the courthouse Friday. Around lunchtime Friday, Deputy Davin responded to a report of a suspicious person at the courthouse and confronted a man. During a struggle, she was stabbed with either a small knife or scissors. The judge intervened, striking the assailant, who then stabbed him, authorities said. Associated Press Dropped a class? Need a replacement? Let BartOnline help!

Some fans might look at a potential matchup with seventh-seeded St. Mary's in the second round and cringe, fearing another early exit to a dangerous mid-maior. But don't forget about 15th-seeded Detroit, the Jayhawks' opponent on Friday. The Titans have the talent to upset the Jayhawks. Detroit point guard Ray McCallum was a four-star Rivals recruit two years ago, the 12th-ranked point guard in the class of 2010. He chose to stay at home and play for Detroit and his father, Ray McCallum Sr. McCallum turned down offers from Arizona, Florida and UCLA. Senior forward Eli Holman, a former Indiana University recruit, was removed from the team during non-conference play after an off-the-court incident. Fifteenth-seeded teams with two NBA prospects are few and far between. He returned in December and has been a double-double threat for the Titans during their conference season. Holman may not have NBA potential, but he certainly can muscle up with Jeff Withey and Thomas Robinson inside. But Detroit is no slouch of a 15-seed. Kansas can't just show up and expect to win with superior athleticism and talent. The Titans are experienced. Four seniors, two juniors and McCallum play most of the minutes. Instead of thinking of this game as a warm-up for the rest of the tournament, Kansas fans should try to think of Detroit as a team like Oklahoma or Texas A&M, one that can hang with Kansas for an extended amount of time. In recent years, Kansas hasn't had to fret about winning its first game in the tournament. If the Jayhawks don't show up against Detroit, they could be heading home early. I can't say that I'm going to write in "Detroit" instead of "KU" on my bracket. In fact, I know I won't. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar Perhaps the scariest thing about Detroit is that it might have figured things out at the right time. The Titans went into New Year's Day with a 7-9 record. Since then, the Titans are 13-4 with two victories over Butler and one over Cleveland State, a team that beat Vanderbilt in November. A lifeless loss in Kansas City No one else on Detroit will amaze you, but neither does their playing style. The Titans play a little faster tempo than Davidson, a team that scored the most points against Kansas this season, but they don't rely on the three-point shot like the Wildcats. Scores,stats and more on Friday's semifinal Instead, the Titans attack the basket and try to draw fouls. Free throws account for 25.1 percent of Detroit's points which ranks sixth in the nation.

This was the highest finish ever for the program. Sophomore Diamond Dixon sprinted her way to a national title in the 400-meter race with a schoolrecord time of 51.78 seconds on Saturday. Junior Andrea Geubelle then doubled the excitement by winning her own title in the triple jump and giving the Jayhawks two on the night. Dixon won her title in convincing fashion, running the best time in the NCAA this season in her championship heat despite trailing at the 200-meter break. With 100 meters to go, Dixon still trailed Clemson's Marlena Wesh. "I was just happy it was over because I was really nervous." Dixon said. As the two rounded the last turn, Dixon made her move. She could tell Wesh was slowing down and used the opportunity to run wide into lane two and gained momentum from the downward slant of the track. The move seemed to propel her down the final straight away as she pulled away to an impressive victory. It had been 16 years since the last women's title in a track event for Kansas. Dixon dropped to her knees, relieved that her hard work had paid off and that she could now be called champion of the NCAA 400-meter dash. Watching the event from the center of the track, ready for her next attempt in the triple jump, was Andrea Geubelle. After an eighthplace finish on Friday in the long jump, with junior Francine Simpson taking sixth in that same competition for the Jayhawks, the team still had two more chances to add points to their team score. The two events remaining, the triple jump and 4x400 meter relay, were events in which Kansas led the NCAA. KANSAS JAYHAWK 493 Geubelle leaped 44'10.25 feet on her third jump of the day. It was a jump that not only broke her own school record and NCAA season best, but it would maintain through the rest of the competition as the best of the day. "After Diamond won the 400, I knew that it was up to me to win the triple because that's what I came here to do. Everybody worked hard to perform the way they did this weekend." Geubelie said. "I think we surprised a lot of people." The top-ranked Kansas 4x400 meter relay team finished the night in third. The sixth-ranked Jayhawks move into their outdoor season in a few weeks knowing that they were close to winning a team national championship. It is a sign that the hard work is paying off, coach Stanley Redwine said. Sophomore spinner Diamond Dixon sprints around the corner in the women's 400 meter dash. Dixon won the event and broke an Aschutz Pavilion record with a time of 53.75 seconds. "It was a matter of preparation meeting opportunity," Redwine said of the performance of his athletes and coaches this indoor season, culminating in the runner-up finish. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Edited by Tanvi Nimkar WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks fail to overcome against the Aggies TEXAS A&M 20 GOODRICH ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Junior guard Angel Goodrich trips over her opponent, but maintains control of the ball during Thursday's game against Texas A&M. Kansas lost 63-78 in the Big 12 Tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com "It's going to be hard, but were going to wait and cross our fingers," said junior guard Angel Goodrich. According to the NCAA website, the committee has access to box scores, game summaries, notes, rankings, polls and the coaches' regional advisory committee rankings. Kansas ended its regular season with a victory against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., a feat that only Baylor had accomplished before them. However, after a first round bye, Kansas fell to defending national champion Texas A&M in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament on Thursday. Tom Petty said it best, "The waiting is the hardest part." That is what the Kansas women's basketball team is left with until 7 p.m. tonight. Kansas has won key games and lost ones that will hurt, but the team is hopeful going into the selection show tonight knowing the decision falls into the committee's hands. Coach Bonnie Henrickson serves on the regional advisory committee, but that does not grant the Jayhawks any assurance. Kansas finished the non-conference season with an 11-1 record - the team's best since an 11-0 start in 2005. One of those marquee victories was on the road against Wake Forest where Kansas won by one point in the final seconds of play. Then, Kansas started conference play with a victory against No. 25 Texas in Austin, which started a 5-1 record including an undefeated mark on the road. The Jayhawks started to struggle in the next several matchups going 2-3 before the fateful loss to Kansas State where junior forward Carolyn Davis, a starter and captain, fell, tore her ACL and dislocated her left knee. From there, Kansas finished the season 2-5 to compile an 8-10 overall conference record. Henrickson has referred to the Big 12 season as a roller coaster. The victories are celebrated at momentum and the losses pierce like daggers for the layhawks who are hoping to break into the tournament for the first time since 2000. The Jayhawks have worked through two unexpected transfers and a season-ending injury to Davis, but Henrickson said they aren't using those as excuses. "Hopefully, with their RPI and how hard their kids play without Carolyn Davis and not using that as an excuse, that's why that team deserves to go to the dance," Blair said. "it's their full body of work, and we have won. We have won without her and we have been in one-possession games without her," Henrickson said. After the loss to Texas A&M, Aggie coach Gary Blair took the podium and attempted to bolster Kansas' chances heading into selection. The Jayhawks have four Top 50 RPI victories and finished conference play with the second-best road record and a six seed in the Big 12 Tournament. Goodrich was grateful for the boost from Blair and hopeful that it would help. "I mean, it just shows that other people see how great we are," Goodrich said. "It's good that he can do that for us." The Jayhawks' plan to watch the selection show together when it airs on ESPNU tonight. Until then, they will continue waiting. "I'm not sure what it will be like, but I feel like we deserve to go to the tournament," Goodrich said.

Who was the winner of the 2012 USA Yoga Ansa National Championship? usayoga.org THE MORNING BREW Basketball isn't the only March Madness sport I recently heard a conversation over what constitutes a real sport. One party argued a sport must have an offense and a defense. Another argued just players, a sense of competition and some coaching is involved. I strongly feel as long as there is some sense of competition then, by golly, you've got yourself a sport. By Hannah Wise hwise@kansan.com COMPETITIVE YOGA As every sports writer in America will remind you, March is upon us, and the madness is about to begin. Yes, it is March 12. Yes, Thursday marks the beginning of the "big dance." But, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a couple alternative competitive spring events for the rest of us. Flexing and contorting their way to a title, competitive yoga is becoming more mainstream. It's not just a sport for your hippie aunt twice removed.Yoga competitions can be likened to gymnastics, as far as I can tell. Competitors are given several minutes to perform a number of poses in the most beautiful and well constructed fashion. The New York Times recently highlighted the USA Yogya's national competition. The slide show by the Times shows the athletes with strength and a sense of controlled elasticity. The poses have an elegant ease about them. Even spectators of this sport have a sense of positive energy and repose. It is not your Allen Fieldhouse raucous crowd that is for certain, but it is a competition of peace. COMPETITIVE GARDENING This very well might be your mother's sport. Her way of finding her center. Possibly just her way to get some fresh arugula for that spring salad. Granted, that head of arugula lettuce may be larger than life think, state fair biggest vegetable competition big. These gardeners take their all-natural, extreme vegetable growing seriously. It is no walk in the park consisting of smelling flowers and listening to the birds sing. This is a war. Mother nature and the gardener must be at peace if the gardener is to have any hopes of being successful. Perhaps the competitive gardener should take up some competitive yoga to find their Zen. This is a sport of love and loss. In one fell swoop the gardener can lose everything. You know that butternut squash you have been checking on every day, all year long? Remember walking out in the storm to cover it with a quilt? Think of all the gallons of water it has soaked up. One lightning strike and it is all over. Nothing left of KU your prize competitor except a few charred pieces of squashed squash. Do not fret fair March Madness fanatic, your precious basketball is not in danger. These are sports for free spirits trying to get back to their roots, the children of the '90s and the forever hippie at heart. The competition is fierce. The money and time spent legitimate. Be sure to take a break from basking in the iridescent glow of the television. Your team will hopefully be there when you get back. Just take a walk, visit a garden and take a deep breath. Win or lose this basketball season, the world is going to keep on turning. -Edited by Nadia Imafidon This week in athletics Monday There are no athletic events today.

With Kansas leading 1-0 in the top of the seventh inning, a fielding error allowed a North Florida runner to advance to third base with only one out. But just as she had done throughout the game, freshman pitcher Alicia Pille stopped the threat. "We were all scrapping and fighting for that one more win," sophomore infelder Ashley Newman said. "Making history meant everything to us. I've never seen so much fire and passion in everybody when that seventh inning was over." Pille recorded two outs and secured Kansas' record-breaking win. The emotional victory marked an accomplishment no Kansas team in history had achieved before. Kansas won all five games to win the Osprey Classic in Jacksonville, Fla. over the weekend and extended its win streak to 20 games. Kansas outscored the opposition 36-7 in three games versus Delaware State and two against North Florida. Newman and junior outfielder Maggie Hull keyed the Kansas offense throughout the tournament. The one and two hitters in the lineup each collected 10 hits, combining for 18 runs, 10RBIs and five stolen bases. "Ashley has been doing phenomenal," Hull said. "It's fun batting behind her. It gives our team momentum when she gets on base and makes me want to hit even more." DongXin M. Hull Kansasupped its batting average to .325, helped by a 17-run outburst in a five-inning victory over Delaware State on Friday. The pitching staff did its part, only allowing three earned runs in the five games. In two starts, Pille (9-0) pitched 11 innings, struck out 13 batters and did not allow an earned run. She also picked up a save in the team's first game. Sophomore pitcher Kristin Martinez (5-0) threw 11 innings in her two starts. She allowed two earned runs and struck out 11. "We've been really stressing how we need a complete staff," said coach Megan Smith. "It's not just one, it's not just two who are going to get it done. We need every one ready when we call their names." The team brings its 20 victories in a row back to Lawrence as it prepares to face Missouri in a weekend series beginning Friday. Hull knows such an impressive stretch could not have happened without contributions from every player. "The number one thing is there's so many people who can step up in big situations," Hull said. "It's comforting to know that if I have an off game, my teammates are going to pick me up and that's what has gotten us 20 straight wins." Despite the undefeated weekend, Smith said the team did not play its best softball. It was not sharp, but seeing all the pieces of the team working together is promising going into conference play next week, Smith said. — Edited by Pat Strathman SOFTBALL STREAKING After dropping its first two games of the season, the Kansas softball team won 20 in a row.

VCU (28-6) is a No. 12 seed and will play fifth-seeded Wichita State (27-5) in the second round in Portland, Ore. The game is slated for Thursday in the South region. A year ago, the Rams were one of the last teams put in the field of 68, and they beat five BCS-level teams in a stunning run to the Final Four in Houston. Third-year coach Shaka Smart said a key for his team will be taking what they can from that experience, but remembering what it took to get on the historic roll as well. "I think it was a positive to learn from it and the things that brought us success," Smart, now 83-27 in three years at VCU. "It's not something we want to dwell on and we don't want to in any way think that last year is going to make us win this year. We still have to go out and earn a victory, just like we did during the regular season." The Rams have won 25 of their last 28 games after a 3-3 start, and that's with only one player — senior forward Bradford Burgess — who also was a major contributor last season. MARCH MADNESS Associated Press No.1 Kentucky falters in conference championship game ASSOCIATED PRESS John Calipari said from the time he arrived in the Big Easy that he didn't like conference tournaments. Kentucky coach John Calipari reacts during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Florida in the semi-final round of the 2012 Southeastern Conference tournament at the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans. Saturday, March 10. After top-ranked Kentucky endured three tough games in as many days with no league title to show for it, his opinion wasn't bound to change any time soon. "I wish this would have happened yesterday so we got home a day earlier," Calipari said Sunday after the Wildcats collapsed late in a 71-64 loss to Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference tournament final. more than three months. The Wildcats (32-2) won two of their three games in New Orleans but never led any by more than single digits and trailed in the second half of all three. ASSOCIATED PRESS Still, they were on the cusp of extending their winning streak to 25 games when Anthony Davis' free throw gave them a 62-55 lead with 5:23 left. Then Kentucky suddenly started settling for jump shots, taking nine from that point and missing all of them, including five from 3-point range. "Their 24 game winning streak. Their name on the front of their jersey doesn't matter to us," Vanderbilt's Lance Goulbourne said. "Whoever was in our way, we were going to play as hard as we could to try to win that championship." "We just went ice cold. There was like a lid on the basket. Nothing was falling for us," said freshman point guard Marquis Teague, who went scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting. "It was wide open shots that we normally make. So it was surprising us that we were missing. Some days it's like that." Jeffery Taylor scored 18 points, John Jenkins added 17 and Vanderbilt rallied with a 16-2 run over the final 5 minutes to end the Wildcats' winning streak that lasted Festus Ezeli had 17 points for Vanderbilt (24-10), which was playing in its first SEC tournament final since 1951, the year of its only other championship. The Commodores pushed ahead in the final minutes with a few timely shots, but mostly with suffocating defense. Darius Miller scored 16 points in a surprise start for Kentucky while Terrence Jones and Davis both added 12. Davis had 10 rebounds and three blocked shots, but he got into some rare early foul trouble that limited his effectiveness. Kentucky missed its last 14 field goals in all, not hitting one over the final 8:04. The Wildcats shot just 35.9 percent from the field (23 of 64). "Maybe now everybody realizes we're not invincible," Calipari said. "We're like everybody else out there. We're going to have to execute, play hard and with some aggressiveness and intensity or we will get beat." Kentucky moves on to NCAA tournament games that will mean a lot more to them, but it remains to be seen whether LSU and Florida, which both gave the Wildcats tough games, and Vanderbilt, which beat them, provided UK's future opponents with a strategic blueprint. "We really wanted to be physical with them because we saw the success that LSU had and Florida had," Vanderbilt forward Steve Tchieng-gain said. "It was just being physical and try to box them out as much as we can to try to limit their second chance stuff, offensive rebounds, stuff like that." Vanderbilt also attacked the basket offensively rather than relying on jump shots. In the process, the Commodores got Kentucky Kidd-Gilchrist had a pained expression on his face in the locker room afterward, giving short answers in hushed tones and blaming himself for getting in foul trouble and failing to get a single rebound. forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in foul trouble, and he fouled out with 2:51 to go. Still, Kentucky appeared to be taking control when Jones' successive powerful dunks put the Wildcats up 54-49 and worked the heavily-pro Kentucky crowd into a frenzy. Vanderbilt worked its way back to tie the game at 62 on Ezeli's tip-in with 1:56 left and took the lead for good when freshman Kedren Johnson converted a three-point play on a drive to the hoop. The loss spoiled the Wildcats' perfect season against SEC competition. Kentucky is 18-1 against league foes. Afterward, Calpari assured his team that they would be fine and might even be better off not carrying a long winning streak into the NCAA tournament. "it'll get us more focused now", sophomore guard Doron Lamb said. TAKE A TOUR AND SIGN YOUR LEASE WITHIN 48 HOURS AND WE'LL WAIVE YOUR SERVICE AND APPLICATIONS FEES! A SAVINGS OF $135!

When his team was desperate for points, Taylor drove to the hoop with conviction, aiming for two points or at the very least, two free throws. Like his team, he wasn't perfect. He made a few bad passes and often couldn't keep his typically speedy pace. However Taylor was the best of the bunch. PARKS LEE Taylor GAME TO FORGET After thoroughly outplaying Baylor, forward Perry Jones III in the first two matchups between the teams, Robinson faltered. He didn't possess his typical mean streak. He was often seen walking around and getting outworked for rebounds, including a key rebound at the end of the game that would have given Kansas the ball down five points, but instead extended Baylor's lead to seven. Thomas Robinson, junior forward QUOTE OF THE GAME Robinson "I thought we played a style that is just good enough to get your butt beat." Bill Self, coach PETER NICHOLS Self KEY STATS From three-point range, Baylor shot 47.4 percent while Kansas shot just 15.4 percent. 47. 4-15.4% 0 Outside of Kevin Young's five points, all from free throws, the Kansas bench was held scoreless. KANSAS 72 4-4 The Jayhawks are 4-4 this season when trailing at halftime. NOTES - Kansas had four players score in double figures for the 14th time this season. - Kansas is now 10-2 against Baylor under Bill Self - Tyshawn Taylor scored over 20 points for the 12th time this season. - Jeff Withey's 108 blocks rank second in school history for a single season. MEN'S BASKET Home away from home isn't enough ? KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com And being the only team with the entire band, cheerleading squad and dance team present made it seem like a de facto home game for Kansas. While the comforts of Allen Fieldhouse were some 40 miles away, Kansas still held a sizeable advantage in fan support during Friday's Big 12 Tournament semifinal match with Baylor in Kansas City. The Sprint Center was a sea of blue with specks of yellow, green, and black mixed in. "They came out like a team that lost to us twice," senior guard They just didn't play like it. Tyshawn Taylor said. "They came out ready to play and I don't know what we did different. Maybe we weren't as aggressive." Baylor eventually won 81-72. The Bears controlled the final eight minutes of the first half and took an eight-point lead to the locker room. They opened up the lead to 13 less than two minutes into the second half of play. One thing is certain, though, Kansas will be watching the tournament championship from Lawrence for just the seventh time in its 16-year existence. An 18-3 Kansas run closed the gap midway through the second half, but it wasn't enough in the end. Self added after the game that if Friday night better prepares his team for NCAA tournament games next week, it would have been a 'good loss.' "We didn't rebound the ball," coach Bill Self said. "Those are man plays. Even though the battle of the boards was even, I don't think anybody thought that we controlled the glass. I think the perception would be that they controlled it." baytor played as many minutes last night as we did." Self said. "I ain't buying into that stuff. If you're tired in that particular situation, then the reason you're probably tired is because your mind or your preparation level is such that allows you to be tired." Kansas' stamina was questioned on its second day of back-to-back games. The Jayhawks are noticeably thin with a bench basically consisting of two players. The lack of energy could have been for a number of reasons such as The game's outcome may have had little effect on the Jayhawks' seed in the NCAA tournament. Taylor said the extra day of rest will be beneficial. He wasn't, however, happy with how they earned that rest. "Going forward that could hurt us," Taylor said. "We've got to be ready to play from the jump ball."

PAGE 6B MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TENNIS Jayhawks fall to Sooners and Cowboys CORBIN MIHELIC cmihelic@kansan.com For the second weekend in a row, the Kansas women's tennis team could not overcome high ranked dual-match opponents. KONUS TARA BRYANT/KANSAN This time the culprits came from the Big 12—No. 40 Oklahoma and No. 56 Oklahoma State—only a week after the Jayhawks suffered their first two losses of the season. The team dropped its match to the Sooners on Friday, 5-2, and followed that with its loss to the Cowboys, 6-1, on Sunday. Kansas is now 7-4 for the match play season and 0-2 in conference play. Junior Victoria Khanevskaya chases the ball in her singles match against Oklahoma State Sunday afternoon at the Jayhawk Tennis Center. Khanevskaya was defeated 6-4. Monica Pezzotti and Dylan Monica Windom gave the Jayhawks an opportunity to gain the doubles point with their 8-5 win over Oklahoma State's Malika Rose and Kanyapat Narrattah, but not much went in their favor afterward. "This is her first time she's played on hardcourt and I think she's doing pretty good." Claire Dreyer and Victoria Khanevskaya fell to C.C. Sardinha and Isabela Miro in No. 3 doubles, 8-5, and the team would go on to lose five of its six singles matches. Several of those matches were fairly competitive on the scoreboard, including a three-set loss by Paulina Los at the No.2 singles spot. Despite a closer overall score, the victory against Oklahoma was never really in question. The Sooners swept doubles play before winning the first four matches to finish in singles play. Freshman rookie Maria Belen Ludueña was the only Jayhawk to win both of her No. 3 singles matches over the weekend—a pair of split-set battles decided in a super tiebreaker. Ludueña, who is ranked 181th nationally in the ITA Singles Rankings, beat Oklahoma's Mia Lancaster, 6-3, 2-6, (10-6), before coming from MONICA PEZZOTTI Kansas junior behind to knock. off Meghan Blevins. 4-6, 6-3, (11-9). "I think she is adapting pretty well to hard-court," Pezzotti said of Luduena earlier this week. "This is her first time she's played on hardcourt and I think she's doing pretty good." Kansas will take a break from Big 12 play with a March 17-19 trip to Las Vegas, Nev. to play Houston, Idaho and Bowling Green in that respective order. Conference play continues March 24 with a home match against No. 11-ranked Baylor. "It's definitely going to take a lot more heart and grind on the court and who's going to want it bad," Windom said of the rest of Big 12 play. "Physically, in shape wise, we're No. 1 in the Big 12. I know the physical side is there." Edited by Tanvi Nimkar BIG TEN BASKETBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Brandon Wood scored a season-high 21 points to help No. 8 Michigan State defeat No. 7 Ohio State 68-64 on Sunday in the Big Ten tournament championship game. Spartans shine in title game thriller Draymond Green, who had 12 points and nine rebounds in the final, was named the most outstanding player of the tournament. The Spartans (27-7) claimed their first tournament title since 2000 in a dramatic game that featured 16 lead changes. Jared Sullinger scored 18 points and Deshaun Thomas and William Buford added 11 each for the Buckeyes (27-7), who were denied a third straight title. The teams shared the regular season title with Michigan. Wood transferred to Michigan State after graduating from Valparaiso last year with eligibility remaining. He received a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately because he entered graduate school. He only started because starter Branden Dawson toore a left knee ligament in the regular-season finale against Ohio State. Buford hit a game-winner with one second left to help the Buckeyes defeat the Spartans 72-70 on Michigan State's home court in the regular-season finale to claim a share of the title and prevent the Spartans from winning it outright. Sullinger averaged 24 points and nine rebounds for the tournament. Sullinger committed his second foul with 8:22 left in the first half. At that point, the Buckeyes led 18-17. Michigan State appeared to grab momentum late in the half. A putback by Green and a layup by Keith Appling late in the half gave the Spartans a 34-29 lead. Aaron Craft scored on a putback, then Buford made a free throw after Michigan State coach Tom Izzo was issued a technical foul for disagreeing with a call, and the Spartans led 34-32 at halftime. Sullinger immediately changed things for the Buckeyes, scoring nine points in the first 7 minutes of the second half. ACC BASKETBALL North Carolina comeback fails vs. Florida State ASSOCIATED PRESS North Carolina's big comeback against Florida State fell short, leaving the Tar Heels beaming the slow start which put them in such a bind. The Seminoles weren't missing many early and built a 16-point lead in the first half. North Carolina fought back, cutting the deficit to just one in the final minute before losing 85-82.

MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012 BASEBALL PAGE 7B Grand slam helps the Jayhawks bounce back ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team returns to Lawrence on a winning streak after completing a 2-1 weekend in Minneapolis, Minn. Coming off a disappointing loss to North Dakota, the Jayhawks (8-7) dropped the first game of the weekend series to Stony Brook 4-0. The losing would stop there for Kansas as the team ended the weekend with strong showings from key freshmen. Coach Ritch Price hoped to see his team grow during the road-heavy nonconference schedule, and the Jayhawks did exactly that this weekend. "Playing in our league, if we get beat on a Friday night, you have to respond and play hard the whole weekend," Price said. "I was pleased with the maturity we showed." Freshman pitcher Wes Benjamin went the full nine innings in Friday's game two of the double-header, but he took a no-decision in the Friday marathon. Benjamin surrendered one run on three hits as the Jayhawks went on to defeat Stony Brook 3-1 in 14 innings. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay hit the go-around two-run homer in the top of the 14th, helping freshman pitcher Robert Kahana earn his second win of the season. McKay hit a crucial home run in Kansas' comeback bid against North Dakota on Wednesday. Although he's batting just .241, Price has seen significant improvement in McKay's approach at the plate. "His plate discipline has been a lot better the last four or five games," Price said. "He's not chasing the breaking ball out of the zone and he's not swinging at the first pitch regardless of what's being thrown. He's made some great adjustments." Kahana pitched five scoreless innings in relief of Benjamin, allowing two hits and striking out a pair en route to the victory. McKay continued his power surge into the Saturday evening matchup with Minnesota. Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan surrendered four runs in the first inning, but the Jayhawks broke out the bats in the second with an eight-run inning. McKay hit a grand slam to give Kansas a 7-4 lead. The Jayhawks would tack on two more runs in the game to earn a 9-4 victory over the Golden Gophers. "My swing has felt good, and I'm seeing the ball real well," McKay said. "My coaches and teammates have supported me through this and allowed me to grow into the player I want to become, and right now my swing is just working for me." McKay's grand slam was his third home run in four games and his fourth overall on the season. Even with the sudden success at the plate, McKay is still adjusting to the grind of an everyday player at the college level. "Every game coach gives me a chance to play, I get an opportunity to learn and get better," McKay said. "Even the games that I'm struggling out there, I'm still learning how to overcome that adversity to and make changes." McKay and the Javahaws will look to stay hot as the team makes the second trip of the season to San Antonio, Texas.

ROWING Younger players show promise after Oklahoma Invitational FISE REITER ereuter@kansan.com The Kansas rowing team opened up the spring season with a strong start at the Oklahoma Invitational. The Jayhawks placed sixth with 21 points before beating Creighton in Sunday's final four races. The weekend started off a bit slowly, with one victory from the second varsity team against Oklahoma with a time of 7:38.36. But the Jayhawks picked up momentum, bringing in more victories during the second half of the meet, including victories against rival Kansas State by the varsity four and second varsity eight. "The first race of the season is always kind of tough, because of the nerves and you're not sure what to expect. But we did really well with improving on it," senior Melani Luthi of the varsity eight said. "We're making a lot of progress, it's good to see." "We started off Saturday morning with a fresh new day, because we didn't have to travel." junior Olivia Kinet of the varsity eight said. "We gained some confidence, and brought in some wins." The Jayhawks came away from the meet with 11 victories, including strong performances by the second varsity and novice teams. While the novice team's victories did not count for points toward the competition, it shows promise of a strong team in the future. The younger rowers picked up several victories, including victories against Creighton and Oklahoma by the second novice eight. Kansas' novice eight left the Oklahoma Sooners in the water, defeating them by 22 seconds. "I've been here for five years and this is the best team I've been on. So I'm really excited to see where we can go." Luthi said. "We have a high poten really sure how fast we can be, but we know we're fast."

The Jayhawks won 2-1. MEN'S BASKETBALL Fatigue plagues Jayhawks in Big 12 loss to Baylor Bears MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com The Jayhawks had chances to reach the Big 12 tournament title game, but too often their legs trailed their plan. "I was tired," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "I can't speak for everybody else, but I guess we were out of gas." Taylor often moseyed upcourt with the ball, head down, sweat shining from his forehead. Junior guard Travis Releford abandoned Baylor guard Brady Hesilp, who then had enough space for his fourth three-pointer. Baylor forward Quincy Acy outmuscled Robinson on a missed free throw to corral a game-clinching rebound. "We know our legs were a little tired," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "Everybody's legs were a little tired. It's March. We're playing back-to-back." Maybe it was fatigue. Perhaps too much standing around. Senior guard Conner Teahan called it "air-headness." The moments to salvage a comeback were there, just not executed. "I thought we played a style that After No. 3 Kansas (27-6, 16-2) fell 81-72 to No. 12 Baylor, Self easily rattled off a list of his team's miscues. is just good enough to get your butt beat," coach Bolt Self said. "Average energy. Let them pass it wherever they want to," he said. "Never dictate a tempo offensively. Crappy traps on the post. Couldn't remember scouting reports." The Jayhawks surrendered 43 points in the first half, a total topped this season only by Missouri's 44 at Allen Fieldhouse. Fans may never forget how that game finished. This game, against a skilled Baylor team with the consistency of a blue moon, a team that badly lost twice to Kansas earlier this season, portrayed a less active side of the Jayhawks this time. "They come out like a team that lost to us twice," Taylor said. "They made sure that it wasn't going to happen again." Baylor forward Perry Jones III attacked the basket and showed his athleticism in the second half. On nearby possessions, Robinson occasionally walked around. On one play, he walked to set a screen, rolled outward and mishandled a Taylor bounce pass. He then shared words with a referee and walked toward the other end of the floor. It wasn't the bouncy, physical Robinson that viewers have witnessed for much of the season. The unusual pace infected several Jayhawks as both scorers and defenders. "I know I fell asleep a couple of times," junior guard Elijah Johsnon said. With the loss, the Jayhawks now await the NCAA Tournament. Most players echoed moderate indifference on the idea of getting a No.1 seed. Johnson said the seed is irrelevant to him because all brackets have weak and tough teams. Taylor noted that he's been on a No.1 seeded team the past two years and still doesn't have a national championship of his own. "Our goal is not to win the Big 12 tournament championship," Taylor said. "It's to win a Big 12 championship, which we have. It's to win the national championship, which we still can."

Katy had an outstanding final round and really led the way for us." The Kansas women's golf team came from six strokes behind to win the Rio Verde Invitational with a score of 900 this weekend. Senior Katy Nugent led the Jayhawks, tying the tournament record for lowest round with a three-under 68 and finishing individual runner-up. Nugent scored two straight rounds of 76 before finishing one shot behind tournament champion Kristen Hill of Akron. "The team got off to a great start this morning and they played steady for the entire round which was key," said coach Erin O'Neil. "We had Nugent's 68 is her career low-18-hole score. Her second-place finish is also a career high beating her fourth-place finish at the Palmetto Intercollegiate last fall. "My short game was really solid all week," Nugent said. "I was able to capitalize on some good birdie opportunities today, I've been able to dedicate more time to golf this spring as my class load is the lightest it's been since my first semester at KU so it's great to see hard work pay off." Junior Audrev Yowell carded a career-best score of 224 over the tournament's three rounds, putting her in a tie for sixth place. Freshman Nadia Luttner carded a 229 that tied for 18th. Sophomore Thanutraff Boonrakasat tied for 21st with a score of 230, and sopomore Meghan Potte tied for 33rd with a 234. The layhawks travel to Tucson, Ariz. March 23-24 to compete in the Mountain View Collegiate. "This is a great confidence boost heading into the last part of our spring season," Coach O'Neil said. "I'm very happy to see all of the hard work paying off for the players." — Edited by Pat Strathman SWIMMING AND DIVING Cash, Golden compete in diving championships Kansas divers junior Christy Cash and sophomore Alvissa Golump competed in the Zone D Diving Championships in Iowa City, Iowa this weekend. This competition was the last chance for the Kansas divers to qualify YUAN HUA for the NCAA championships Cash Cash, making her second appearance in two years, saved her best performance for last. She finished in 18th place in the platform diving event Saturday with 214.55 points, a 30-point improvement from her score last year. Cash narrowly missed a spot in the finals. Cash also placed 30th in the 1-meter event Thursday and 28th in the 3-meter event on Friday. Golden made her first career appearance at the zone diving event. After she finished in 35th place in the 1-meter and 38th place in the 3-meter, she finished Saturday in 28th place in the platform event. Despite the tough competition, coach Eric Elliot said he's happy for his divers and the experience they gained. "They see that they're not far out of where they need to be to be competitive with these other divers," Elliot said. "They know what they need to do now. They just have to put in the training and gain the confidence PRIYANTHA KUMAR knowing they're not far out." Elliot said the team will take some time off after a long season, but will continue training for next year soon enough. -Alec Tilson Golden OBITUARY Kansas legend passes away at 81 years old Multi-sport Kansas legend Charlie Hoag passed away Thursday evening at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. Hoag was 81 years old. Hoag, a native of Oak Park, Ill., attended the University from 1950 to 1953 and participated in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. He played basketball for coach Phog Allen from 1950 to 1952 and helped lead the 1952 Jayhawks to a Big Seven Conference Championship and NCAA National Championship. He tallied nine points and four rebounds in the title-game victory against St. John's. That summer, Hoag was one of seven Jayhawks on the gold medal team at the Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. Hoag was a captain of the 1952 football team and a Big Seven All- Conference running back in 1950 and 1952. BASKETBALL —Max Rothman ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri caps off season with Big 12 championship KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri is leaving the Big 12 on top. The Tigers (30-4), who led from start to finish, will head off to the Southeastern Conference next year savoring a title in coach Frank Haith's first season in charge. Kim English capped a phenomenal conference tournament with 19 points, Phil Pressey added 15 points and eight assists and the fifth-ranked Tigers beat No. 12 Baylor 90-75 on Saturday night to win their second championship in the past four years. English wound up 29 of 40 from the field in a virtuoso performance in Kansas City, and was named the tournament's most valuable player. Michael Dixon added 17 points, and Ricardo Ratliffe and Marcus Denmon finished with 15 each. Perry Jones III led Baylor (27-7) with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Brady Heslip scored 14 and Deuce Bello came off the bench to add 13 for the Bears, who were again turned away one win short of their first conference tournament title since 1950. The Bears also lost to Missouri in the 2009 Big 12 title game. Missouri's decision to leave for the SEC after this season has drawn outrage from fans of opposing teams because it jeopardized the future of the Big 12. But the Tigers made themselves at home in the Sprint Center, delivering the final punch as they walked out the door. Thousands of fans clad in black and gold even booed interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas when he gave away the trophy, and chants of "SEC! SEC!" arose in the closing minutes. Pressey also made the all-tournament team along with Jones and Heslip from Bavlor. The two teams waged two memorable games during the regular season, Missouri coming out on top both times. The first was an 89-88 victory in Waco in January, when the Tigers made 10 free throws in the closing minute to hold off a furious rally. Help Advance Medicine.

The bill contains three amendments. The first amendment would change language in the Introduction of the code to clarify that only students living in University housing are subject to the Department of Student Housing's regulations. It also makes the disciplinary process conditional, allowing alleged violations of the code to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. "It combines disciplinary processes so a student doesn't have to go through two separate processes for the same occurrence," said Jane Tuttle, the assistant vice provost of Student Success. The second amendment expands students' freedom of speech to "views that are communicated through, but not limited to, oral, written, and/or electronic means of communication," according to the amendment. As a result, students can't be academically punished for what they post on Facebook, Twitter or on websites, unless it's considered disruptive to the operations of the University. An example of disrupting operations that would be punishable through the University would be the 2010 suicide case at Rutgers University. The third amendment will eliminate a statement regarding student publications that was deemed redundant and unnecessary by members of the rights committee. The amendment will remove the sentence, "Similar freedom must be assured for the oral statement of views on all University-controlled radio and television stations," from Article 16 of the code. The preceding sentence already claims that the student press's editors, managers and contributors must be protected from arbitrary sanctions." PRIVACY RIGHTS UNCHANGED The bill contained another amendment concerning students' privacy rights in University housing when it originally came to full Senate on Feb. 29. This amendment to Article 19 of the code would have specifically assured students the "same rights of privacy as any other person," and to "the rights of privacy against unreasonable entry, searches and seizures." However, student body president Libby Johnson said she was concerned over the language of the amendment potentially being limiting to students rights. Johnson said she thought the amendment needed more discussion within the rights committee, so the bill was sent back. "Libby's our student body representative and she saw something," said Aaron Harris, the rights committee chair, about the amendment. "So we just decided to take it out and revert it back to the initial language during the rights meeting." Harris said the initial objective of the presenters of the amendment, Tuttle, assistant vice provost of Student Success and Student Success program specialist Nick Kehrwald, was to allow University housing greater access to students' rooms. Right now, housing officials can only come into rooms in cases of emergency according to Article 19 of the code. But modified versions changed the amendment throughout the code review process. Tuttle suggested the rights committee take this amendment out of the bill on Feb. 22. The committee took it out of the bill during its March 7 meeting and sent the bill back to full Senate. BILL APPROVAL LIKELY Johnson and Harris expect the bill to pass next Wednesday, March 21, in the full Senate meeting. If passed, the bill will still need to be signed into effect by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. Kehrwald, the Student Success program specialist, said he supports the bill. "The whole point is just to update the code," Kehrwald said. "It's to make sure that it's inclusive to speech through electronic means and it makes the rules clearer to students." — Edited by Gabrielle Schock THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lisa Jackson. Administrator for the Environment Protection Agency, discusses the work of the agency and its goal of keeping the environment clean and strengthening the economy Monday afternoon in the Commons of Spooner Hall. Following Jackson's speech, she answered questions submitted by the audience. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN ENVIRONMENT TALK Economy and pollution standards among issues discussed by EPA administrator VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@kansan.com Lisa Jackson grew up as a minority in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, an area struck by four hurricanes in the last 100 years. As an engineering student at Tulane University, Jackson got involved with air quality issues and stopping pollution. She saw the impact of pollution and industrial waste on the Mississippi River firsthand. In 2005, Jackson's mother lost her home in Hurricane Katrina. Now, Jackson is the first African American to serve as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Jackson fielded questions from students, faculty and guests about the EPAs role in boosting the EPA's role in boosting economy and advocating for a cleaner environment at Spooner Hall yesterday during a visit to the University. One of the EPA's goals is to expand conversation on the environment, Jackson said. "Communities care deeply about environmental issues. They just may or may not see themselves in the same issue as someone who's in a different type of community or has a lot more money or something of that nature." The EPA sets national environmental and pollution standards, while states set their own policies and extent of regulation. Jackson said national standards are important because "the air doesn't stay in one state, and the water doesn't stay on the street." Regulations in one state can affect the level of pollution in neighboring states; environmental justice is important on the state and national level. "It's an issue of basic care and economic leveling of the playing field," Jackson said. "Everybody should play by the same set of rules." Jackson commented on offshore drilling — a hot national topic after the BP Gulf oil spill in 2010 — and said it had an impact in evaluating the regulatory process. "Whenever tragedy happens, people go 'Where were you?' she said, explaining those types of questions from the community help environmental agencies and companies like BP change and adapt to environmental concerns. She also talked about the affect of lobbying on EPAs policies and the cultural impact of environmental decisions on American Indian territory and hydraulic fracturing, a process of fracturing the earth to mine natural gas and oil. After the event, Jackson said college students always had a special relationship with the EPA. "Young people always get it because they know they're getting ready to inherit what we leave them," Jackson said. "And so we leave them huge challenges like climate change." Jackson also said students should look at how they already live on campus by using public transportation, choosing efficient foods and living in small spaces. One of the cool things about most campuses is that when they make up their mind, they go cleaner or greener", Jackson said. BUSINESS Students create clothing line, follow dreams LIVIN E ELITE LIVIN E ELITE David Cohen (left) and Nike Kleiger (right), founders of Livin Elite clothing company show off t-shirts from their brand. The two started their company last year and received their first shipment of t-shirts two weeks ago. TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN David Cohen, a senior from Arlington Heights, Ill., and Nike Kleiger, a senior from Washington D.C., launched Livin Elite two weeks ago after almost a year of planning. Index KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com The friends and roommates spent the time working on a business plan, convincing their parents to lend them $3,000, finding a designer and a manufacturer, deciding on a logo and setting up an online store. When the first official batch of t-shirts arrived two weeks ago, Cohen said it was an amazing moment. Live your dreams. For two students, those words are more than a cheesy catchphrase. They were the inspiration of their new clothing company, Livin Elite. CLASSIFIES 7 CRYPTOQUIPS 4 SPORTS 8 CROSSWORD 4 OPINION 5 SUDBOK 4 "There were so many times this fall when we were going through the design process when we were like, 'Is this ever going to happen?' Starting the company was the kind of leap of faith that they want other people to feel empowered to make. Cohen said that unlike other lifestyle brands that cater to a certain sport like skating, surfing or mixed martial arts (MMA), Livin Elite is more focused on a message; pursue your passion in life, no matter what. Working with Livin Elite was a good way to acquire more commercial experience while getting to know other young people in the community who are passionate about what they do, Doke said. Kleiger said. "We've got to live the dream if we're going to tell people to pursue what they love. We're trying to do it right and go for it all," said Cohen. "I're really nice to find people that love what they do as much as I love what I do." Doke said. To reinforce the idea, Livin Elite decided to sponsor local talent, including rapper Nico Yoch, as well as student and amateur MMA fighter Jared Nance, a senior from Trinity, North Carolina. Yoch wore a Livin Elite shirt last week in Lawrence during sound check for his performance at the Granada and the company founders are working to develop promotional gear for Nance's Yoch and Nance are also being profiled in a video manifesto for the company, filmed by Josh Doke, a senior from Goodland. Doke also put together a video look book for Livin Elite, which shows all of the company's designs being modeled. Being paid in t-shirts also didn't hurt. Don't forget The company's signature t-shirt is available online in black and white. In the coming months, Cohen and Kleiger hope to expand their online store to include hats, limited edition t-shirts and tank tops. upcoming fights.

Rick Santorum, left, debates with Gov. Mitt Romney Feb. 23, in Mesa, Ariz. Romney commands the lead in the delegate race. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum predicted Monday that he would get the Republican presidential nomination if the race remains undecided by the time the party holds its nominating convention this summer. Though former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a commanding lead in the crucial race for delegates, Santorum said the race is about to enter a period where he will face fewer disadvantages. To date, Romney has outspent Santorum and had stronger campaign organizations working for him. "They are not going to nominate a moderate Massachusetts governor who's been outspending his opponent 10-1 and can't win the election outright," Santorum said on NBC's "Today" show. "What chance do we have in a general election if he can't, with an overwhelming money advantage, be able to deliver any kind of knockout blow to other candidates?" "We're going to be the nominee," Santorum said, adding later, "Gov. Romney will not make it." It will take 1,144 delegates to win the GOP nomination when the party holds in convention in Tampa in late August. According to a count by The Associated Press, Rommy has 454 delegates and Santorum has 217, compared with 107 for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and 47 for Texas Rep. Ron Paul. "We're closing the deal, state by state, delegate by delegate," Romney said on Fox News "Fox and Friends" Monday. He said that though some states award delegates based on the proportion of votes they receive, lengthening the process, "We're winning this and I expect we're going to get the nomination." Alabama and Mississippi hold their presidential primaries on Tuesday. Romney's campaign plus an allied campaign committee run by former Romney aides is spending over $2.5 million on television ads in the two states. Santorum's campaign has few commercials there, though a separate campaign committee that supports him is spending around $500,000 on advertising.

The soldier, now in U.S. custody, is accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians in their homes in the middle of the night between Saturday and Sunday and then burning some of their corpses. Afghan President Hamid Karzai said nine of those killed were children and three were women. "He was walking around taking up positions in the house — in two or three places like he was searching," said 26-year-old witness Mohammad Zahir, who watched the gunman while hiding in another room. "He was on his knees when he shot my father" in the thigh, he told The Associated Press. His father was wounded but survived. The shooting rampage unfolded in two villages near a U.S. base in southern Kandahar province. ASSOCIATED PRESS AFRICA 地球仪 Mass funeral for victims of explosion At least 246 people were killed, but only 159 bodies have been identified. BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — Women wearing masks against the odor of death threw themselves over the graves of their dead children, while men had to be restrained to stop them from hurting themselves as more than 100 victims of last week's arms depot explosion were laid to rest in a mass funeral Sunday. Republic of Congo's government scrambled to organize Sunday's mass burial, which took place exactly one week after an arms depot inside a military barracks caught fire, setting off a lethal rain of grenades, mortar rounds, shells and rockets. Extra carpenters had to be hired to build the coffins. The municipal morgue stayed open all night so that families could finish the ritual washing of the bodies. At least 246 people were killed, but only 159 of the bodies could be identified in time for Sunday's funeral. The scene at the morgue in the hours before the burial, and at the cemetery after the coffins were lowered, was one of chaos, punctuated by pain. AFRICA BIRTH AND CARE ASSOCIATED PRESS Authorities suspect al-Shabab militia sympathizers are linked to the attack. Death toll from bus attack rises to six NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya's internal security minister says the death toll from an attack on a bus stop in the capital has risen to six. George Saitoti said Sunday that 63 people were injured in the attack at a downtown bus stop in Nairobi on Saturday night. Police said it seemed that three explosive devices, possibly grenades, had been thrown from a moving vehicle into a crowd. Saitoti says Kenyan authorities suspect sympathizers with Somalia's al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militia are behind the attack. The group has been linked to a string of attacks on Kenyan soil after Kenya sent troops into Somalia in October. Kenya was worried that instability from Somalia's 21-year-old civil war was spilling across the two countries' shared border. EUROPE TIRANA, Albania — An Albanian court on Monday sentenced 19 people to prison for a series of explosions at an munition disposal factory that killed 26 people, but angry relatives of the victims insisted the punishments were far too lenient and that top government officials have avoided justice. 19 punished for deadly explosions Some 300 more people were injured and 5,500 nearby homes damaged or destroyed in the explosions on March 15, 2008, at the disposal factory in Gerdec, near Tirana, the capital. The blasts sent shrapnel and shell fragments raining down on homes and vehicles, and houses more than a mile away were damaged by the blast. The Tirana court issued the guilty verdicts for 19 defendants, sentencing them to between one and 18 years on charges of gross mismanagement and related offenses, while nine others were cleared. Murder charges initially brought against them were dropped. Prosecutors had sought life imprisonment for three of the defendants. RESEARCH Professor finds large flea fossils in Mongolia MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Discovering fleas more than an inch long might make most people's skin crawl, but that's not the case for Dr. Michael Engel, professor of entomology at the University. Engel recently published research detailing the discovery of 165 million-year-old flea fossil records found in Mongolia. Previous fossils suggested fleas developed on bird and animal hosts around 45 million years, but this recent finding implies these large flea ancestors originally lived on dinosaurs. However, proving this concept proves to be more difficult. "The probability of finding such a flea on a host is astronomically low," Enkel said. While the impact of studying such ancient insects may seem small, Engel said insects' effects on mankind are huge, especially in regards to medicine, pollination and food production. According to Engel, nearly one third of the food we eat requires pollination via insects. Since every third bite of food humans take relies on insect pollination, Engel said understanding insect development can guide ecology policy, especially with respect to the effects of climate change on insects. "We can have a fundamental understanding of a group of organisms that affect our existence, upon which we are dependent," Engel said. Caroline Chaboo, assistant professor of entomology, said insects and plants developed at a similar time more than 400 million years ago. "These two groups have shaped how the world looks, past and present." Chaboo said. "It's hard for people to appreciate just how many species of insects there are in the world." Steve Davis, a graduate student from Gaithersburg, Maryland, is working toward his Ph.D under Engel. Davis is currently researching the evolutionary development of weevils, which are beetles that feed off nuts, grains and fruits.

The movie has now grossed a robust $122 million in just 10 days of release.

Meanwhile, the $250 million-plus "John Carter" debuted with a disappointing $30.6 million this weekend, as fanboys failed to gravitate toward the 3-D fantasy epic that has been under a cloud of bad buzz for months.

SOCIETY Revolutionizing birth control for men B If scientists develop male contraceptives, it would change the way we view family plannin Balancing family and work, especially a high-power career, is exhausting, frustrating, and often overwhelming. It's a dilemma; it's not simple and it's not limited to women. More and more, men are stepping up to the plate. But until there is a more significant cultural shift in how we think about families and maternal duties, this disparity will continue. As long as the primary responsibilities of family planning, child care, and parenting continue to fall most heavily on women, we will see women who "want it all" face unappetizing Catch-22s. By Danielle Onions donions@kansan.com But hope may be in sight. "H-2 gamendazole" may sound like a mouthful, but it could spell out the beginning of a catalytic shift in the way we think about family planning, heterosexual relationships, and even wider gender roles. Those clumsy syllables translate to a compound developed at our very own University of Kansas and may lead to one of the first marketable male versions of the Pill. The Interdisciplinary Center for Male Contraceptive Research and Drug Development was born out of a five year, $7.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. Researchers from multiple universities collaborated to test medication that causes temporary infertility by ceasing sperm production. What would a greater male role in pregnancy prevention mean for sex, gender, culture and power? These developments come more than fifty years after the development of the female Pill, which allowed women greater control over their bodies and their futures but also made pregnancy prevention a female responsibility with significant side effects. While the male Pill is still years away from production, it may signal important shifts in society and usher in a more equitable view of family life. Families begin with family planning, or lack thereof. Prevention is part of planning and I look forward to the day when a man's part in family planning shifts from a condom slipped from a wallet to a serious commitment to a prescribed medication.

Aretha Franklin is responsible for the most memorable, spelled-out and belted-out word in the history of the world: "R. E. S. P. E. C. T." It's a simple word and a familiar concept that college students should keep repeating For a lot of students, college is the first chance they have to get out of their parents' house and live the way they choose. This is the first chance they have to be who they are without rules. This is the test to see if they'll abide by societies rules or break all of them. First of all, it's important to understand respect. It isn't a quality for only one gender, race, age or career path. It applies to everyone. By Angela Hawkins ahawkins@kansan.com Respect consists of not crossing the line between acceptable behavior and rude. Respect is when Donkey in the movie "Shrek" doesn't scream when he sees Shrek for the first time or when he starts to understand Fiona's situation. Rude is when Lord Farquaad brushes Shrek off as an opponent because he isn't of the same station as the knights. How you choose to develop your social skills in terms of respect could have serious impacts after you graduate. Geography Lecture: "Can anyone tell me what is thunder?" "Angles bowling." Think about it. After you graduate, while you search for jobs, what kind of person do you want to represent yourself as? Respect could play a substantial role in landing that job you've had your eye on, or it could be the quality you lack. In the workplace, coworkers will inevitably have to interact. Considering the feelings of others and following social niceties, like holding doors, helps keep the workplace running smoothly. It's that simple. If you've got the job, good coworkers and figured out your professional life, what about your personal life? Yes, respect applies there as well. Does anybody else feel vulnerable in sweatpants? Relationships, romantic or otherwise, are built on people who consider each other's feelings and make attempts to understand them. Granted, some friendships use harsh words and humor, but in the romantic realm that's called abuse. Life in college is different than any other time in your existence and it may require respect as more of a necessity than a nicety. Things go much smoother if roommates can coexist without arguments and irritation. Sometimes that may consist of letting your roommates know you will be out late or warning them when you'll have friends over, other times it may include cleaning your space or putting in headphones. Respect doesn't ask you to go out of your way to make their life better, but it does ask you to be considerate in order to make both of your lives easier. Regardless of where you or I go in our lives, we'll need to respect others in order to get there. Shake people's hands, smile at passers-by and say please and thank you. Developing good habits toward others here should resonate into life after college. No matter how many times it's repeated, don't forget its importance. Respect is always relevant.

But that doesn't mean the Kansas women's soccer team isn't taking full advantage of its spring schedule. The Jayhawks kicked off the season Saturday with a 2-1 win over Nebraska thanks in large part to the play of sophomore forward Carolyn Kastor. She scored the first goal of the spring for Kansas off a sharp pass from junior midfielder Whitney Berry with 15:44 remaining in the second half. She also crossed the ball for the game-winning header to freshman forward Jamie Fletcher that propelled the Jayhawks over the Cornhuskers. Kansas coach Mark Francis has seen vast improvements with Kastor since the end of the fall. "She looks like a different player," Francis said. "She's playing with a lot of confidence right now and made a huge difference to her game." Kastor is one of 11 returning starters for Kansas this season. This comes after an 11-9-1 record and the first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008. "It's nice it feels like the fall," Kastor said. "It feels like we've kind of flowed into the next season. It's really nice to have everyone and we can work on the things we need to improve on for next fall. It been a good positive atmosphere to have everyone back." The Colombian combo of freshman forward Ingrid Vidal and freshman midfielder Liana Salazar, who helped the Jayhawks offensive attack in 2011, will sit out the spring season because of various eligibility reasons. This year's spring schedule is a different atmosphere for Kansas. It doesn't have the same game day intensity, but the team works on various elements of its game that might be overlooked in other parts of the year. "In the spring, we're working on all aspects of the game, like fitness and mentality and the actual technical side of the game," Kastor said. "It's just a lot more of everything all at once" "The focus in the spring is really establishing the culture of your team, maintaining that and just working on individual and collective things to get better," Francis said. The focal point for the Jayhawks this year is defense. After being near the bottom for most of last season in most defensive categories in the Big 12, Kansas hopes to improve its mark. "In the spring working on all the game, like "We've worked a lot on defending, communication, just mentality wise like competing." Francis said. mentality and the actual technical side of the game." while building on its established group of players already on campus. Earlier this month, the Jayhawks also added three new recruits that will arrive in Lawrence this fall. Adding those players allows the team to mix in some new talent, "We have a chance to be very good I think, but it also creates more competition, which always keeps ,we're aspects of fitness and the ac-side of the CAROLYN KASTOR Sophomore forward everybody on their toes and keeps them a higher level." Francis said. With a few games ahead in April and a lot of time for training, the Jayhawks hope to take a few more steps toward a repeat placement in the NCAA Tournament. "Just continuing what we've started here and finishing the spring on the good note," Francis said. "The spring so far has been pretty productive and we really like the improvement that they've made."

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN MEN'S BASKETBALL COMMENTARY Another Kansas team makes it to this year's tournament By Corinne Westeman cwesteman@kansan.com For months, basketball fans and sports reporters across Kansas have been asking the same question: "will three Kansas teams make it to the NCAA tournament in 2012?" And, as they all discovered during this year's Selection Sunday, the answer is "yes." Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State will all play in this year's NCAA tournament for the first time since 1988. Obviously, as a No. 2 seed, Kansas will have a lot of hype to live up to in the big dance. And, Kansas State, a No. 8 seed, might make it to the third round, but probably doesn't have enough talent and explosiveness to beat Syracuse and win a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. But what about No. 5 seed Wichita State (27-5)? The Wichita State Shockers have been ranked in the AP's Top 25 Poll for the last four weeks, but have been receiving votes since mid-January. After beating Creighton (a No. 8 seed) on the road, the team made national news and turned a lot of heads. National sports pundits started classifying Wichita State as a typical "Cinderella" team - one who could make a long tour nament run that would surprise only those who didn't look at the team closely enough. Wichita State has many components that could make such an NCAA run possible. The majority of the team is seniors and juniors. Coach Gregg Marshall, who is in his fifth year at Wichita State, has been there long enough to build up his own program and recruits. The team's leading scorers - Garrett Stutz, Joe Ragland and Toure' Murray - each average more than 12 points per game. The Shockers are ranked 12th in overall average shooting percentage with 48.5%, and their average 77.7 points per game ranks 19th among division I teams. Wichita State's greatest strength, though, is its ability to shoot free throws. The team's eight major players shoot better than 65 percent, and four of them (Stutz, Ragland, David Kyles and Demetric Williams) shoot better than 80 percent. The team's overall percentage is ranked 15th in the nation at 44 percent. Wichita State's biggest weakness is its lack of experience against basketball superpowers, as it has only played three ranked opponents: Alabama, UNLV and Creighton (twice). The Shockers lost to Alabama and beat UNLV earlier this season. They fell to Creighton at home on New Year's Eve, but then won the rematch in February. Wichita State won the Missouri Valley Conference outright, but lost to Illinois State in the second round of the conference tournament. While that didn't affect its bid to the Big Dance, perhaps it shows that Wichita State might not be the "Cinderella" team that pundits claimed it would be. The last time Wichita State went to the NCAA Tournament was in 2006, under Mark Turgeon's tenure as head coach. The Shockers made it to the Sweet Sixteen, and their fans had the satisfaction of knowing their team was one of the best in the nation. But, since then, Wichita State hasn't been the mid-major contender that it once was. Turgeon left the team for Texas A&M. Marshall was hired to continue the program while the fans were hoping for and, in some cases, expecting the success it had seen the previous year. Wichita State struggled, rebuilt and grew. Now, throughout the last two seasons, Shocker fans and the entire nation have seen the fruit of that labor. Last year, Wichita State won the NIT tournament after beating a tough Alabama team in Madison Square Garden. Now, one year later, the Shocks will have a strong desire to succeed in this year's NCAA tournament – the nation's center stage - because it's the perfect opportunity to prove themselves. Wichita State might not have much experience playing against major-conference opponents like Iowa State, Indiana or Kentucky, but it does have the talent, the teamwork and the leadership to beat its first-round opponent - Virginia Commonwealth - and be a legitimate contender for a Sweet Sixteen spot. But, it is March Madness, and anything can happen. Edited by Jeff Karr Dropped a class? Need a replacement? Let BartOnline help!

PAGE 7 - Texas A&M coach Gary Blair (Big12sports.com) FACT FACT OF THE DAY Nine of the 10 Big 12 women's basketball teams finished above .500 in both conference play and overall record. --- Big12sports.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the last team to defeat Baylor? A. Texas A&M in the 2011 Elite Eight on its way to the championship. Big12sports.com THE MORNING BREW What makes the Big 12 so unique The Big 12 is generally accepted as the best and strongest conference in women's basketball. It is led by Baylor, a team that boasts a perfect 34-0 record and Brittney Griner, the frontrunner for National Player of the Year honors. Behind the Bears, you have Texas A&M, the defending national champion that has another good chance to go far in the NCAA tournament. Several teams from the Big 12 will go to the tournament and a couple more will make the WNIT for almost whole-conference participation in postseason play. By Kathleen Gier kgier@kansan.com But the strength extends past the statistics and records. It extends past the All-Americans and national titles. I believe the strength of a conference comes from the relationships between the players, coaches and programs. This has been strikingly true this season in Big 12 women's basketball. The season started with bickering from Baylor coach Kim Mulkey and Texas A&M coach Gary Blair. With the Aggies leaving the conference, someone asked Mulkey if she would continue the Baylor-Texas A&M rivalry that has become one of the best in the nation. "If a man wants to divorce me," Mulkey said, "and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks me if he can sleep with me, the answer is no." A couple speakers later, Blair quipped back that "it takes two to tango" and he would play anybody, anytime if it positively affected his team's RPI and recruiting. These two have continued to go back and forth throughout the season, providing an underlying and entertaining story line. However, the hostility quickly faded when just less than a month later, Oklahoma State coaches Kurt Budke and Miranda Serna died in a plane crash while on a recruiting trip. The Kansas women's basketball team attended the services along with other teams from across the conference and country. Since then, each coach has worn a small pin with an orange four on it honoring Budke, Serna and the other two victims of the crash. This tragedy presented a unique challenge for the conference as the teams battled between sympathy and the importance of continuing the season in a somewhat normal fashion. These teams showed up to support each other because they cared. Kansas junior guard Angel Goodrich grew up in Tahlequah, Okla., and attended Oklahoma State camps growing up, so she was especially passionate about attending the services. On the men's side, Kansas coach Bill Self stepped forward and offered his conidences as a former player and coach at Oklahoma State. This is why geographical proximity is so important to the conferences and was the biggest loss through realignment. There are so many factors that bring teams and people together that go beyond the court. These teams have a history and a mutual respect that will hopefully not be lost or forgotten, but will inevitably fade when the competition ceases. Now that conference play has closed and eyes turn to postseason play, Blair spoke up again. This time he announced after his team's 78-63 victory against Kansas that he wanted to lobby for the Jayhawks into KU the tournament. This once again shows the mutual respect and support that exists in this conference. The teams look out for each other. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson commonly refers to conference play as a roller coaster. This season has been a perfect example, from the hostility at the beginning to the unity they showed through tragedy and to the final, hopeful rallies of allies. That doesn't even touch on the many other story lines, such as Carolyn Davis' story. She suffered a season-ending ACL injury but was still voted Actor Team All-Big 12. This conference has shown strength and resiliency throughout the season, but it's not over yet. The best way to end this roller coaster would be a national championship for one of the teams and various awards to individuals, but most importantly, to maintain the honor and respect they have shown this season.

It was probably a combination of the three to be honest, but beyond the calm demeanor, the nation saw a team ready to do some serious damage in the NCAA Tournament. their bracket seeds were announced Every team busted into celebration in light of the national television face-time, except for one. When CBS showed Kansas following the announcement of the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region, the Jayhawks barely applauded or acknowledged the airtime. During the CBS Tournament Selection Show, dozens of teams were recorded live as For Kansas fans, March can be the best time of the year, but it often ends on a sour note. Like it or not, the Jayhawks will have to deal with the constant mentions of Bucknell, Bradley, Northern Iowa and Virginia Commonwealth whenever a mid-major team takes on Kansas in March. Though CBS' Seth Davis and Greg Anthony made light of Kansas' lukewarm reaction to the camera time, that is the exact reaction I'd expect to see from a national title contender. There is a larger task at hand, and Kansas is ready to face the challenge. COMMENTARY Is it a distraction or a curse? That's up to the team to decide. While I understand that the Morris twins were as confident a pair as it gets, they could not back up the talk with substance on the court. For the most part, this season, Kansas has avoided the bulletin board material and played a disciplined brand of basketball. Yes, the Jayhawks are naturally a confident basketball team, but they don't flirt with arrogance like we've seen in the past. Edited by Anna Allen Keeping composure during mania By Andrew Joseph ajoseph@kansan.com Last season, the coaching staff put a Sports Illustrated cover featuring Northern Iowa's stunning upset in the lockers of each player. It was an interesting strategy to remind the players of the disappointment, but I guarantee no Jayhawk had forgotten the harsh taste of 2010's second-round upset. Why bring the mid-major struggles up internally? I'm sure Kansas plans to approach the NCAA Tournament differently this season as Bill Self's team needs to play every game like it's the national title game. The games will come down to which team wants it more, and it's really not a cliché. There were problems with the previous two teams that I don't see this season. There are no scuffles in pregame tunnels or trash talking to the media and opposition. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Morris twins specifically told VCU's Joey Rodriguez before the game: "Yall had a good little run, but now it's time to go home." The decision to give the team a tangible reminder of a March let-down backfired in the Elite Eight when Shaka Smart and VCU went from the First Four to the Final Four. PARTY IN THE NCAA KANSAS SURPRISED BY BID KATHLEEN GIER keier@kansan.com The 10 Jayhawks lined two rows of chairs in front of the television joined by their coaching staff and athletic directors on the perimeter. As soon as the Selection Show started, those two rows went silent. Stanford went to Fresno, Texas and Oklahoma fell into their region. Connecticut took Bridgeport with Kansas State and Iowa State. Then Notre Dame nabbed Raleigh with Texas A&M. It came down to the final region. The Jayhawks faced forward with their unwavering attention on the show. The team adjusted in their chairs. Baylor, as expected, was the top seed in the Des Moines region. It went down to the third match up, and Kansas was announced as the 11 seed in Little Rock against Nebraska. Kansas will play at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Aishah Sutherland and Bunny Williams flew out of their seats, coach Bonnie Hendrickson fist pumped and screams filled the room. "I didn't even know who we were gonna play, I just saw Kansas and I got up and just sprinted toward my teammates happy and jumped on them," Sutherland said. For the first time since 2000, the Kansas women's basketball team is going to the NCAA Tournament. Junior guard Angel Goodrich red-shirted her first season so she has been through this the last four years. "I am speechless right now, it feels so good to get into the tournament finally and looking at my teammates we have been wanting to do this all year so this feels awesome," Goodrich said. the screen, but sighed and broke into laughter after Kansas State was announced. They went back to waiting. By the final regional hope was fading. The Jayhawks ran a short practice this morning and discussed their chances and before dinner the players were calculating the odds again. The team saw Kansas flash across "Everyone started closing their eyes and not watching, but as soon as our name popped up everyone started jumping," Goodrich said. The Jayhawks have been waiting for a decision on their post-season fate since a loss in the conference semi-finals to Texas A&M last Thursday. Coach Bonnie Henrickson is celebrating her first tournament experience at Kansas, but she said she is most excited for the players and fans. "Just listening and watching them was priceless," Henrickson said. "It was worth the wait actually, it really was," Goodrich said. The team walked out together yelling and planning what to do tonight. CITY OF NEW YORK ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN "We can celebrate tonight, but tomorrow once practice starts we have to get down to business," Goodrich said. Freshman forward Natalie Knight gets emotional after hearing that Kansas made the NCAA tournament at a watch party Monday night. Kansas is the 11th seed in the NCAA tournament and will play Nebraska in Little Rock, Ark. on Sunday. Once the initial shock wore off, the players pulled out their phones and serrolled through congratulatory texts and tweets. Sutherland, the team's lone senior, could barely put her phone down. Earlier in the season she made it clear that she would not be happy with her career at Kansas until they played in the tournament. Now that they've made it, she said she can graduate satisfied. "I am ready to go to the dance and play my heart out," Sutherland said.

They meet up with Detroit-Mercy on Friday night, winners of the Horizon League tournament. The Titans feature a high school All-American in Ray McCallum, who Bill Self actually recruited, and a center who isn't afraid of a little confrontation. Eli Holman, a 6-foot-10 former Indiana Hooiser, was asked about facing junior forward Thomas Robinson. It should make for an interesting story line heading into Friday night's matchup, a game that numerous experts have circled as a potential, albeit unlikely, first round upset. "Robinson? I can handle Robinson," Holman told the Detroit News. "He has to handle me." Where They Could Slip Up. Georgetown in the Sweet 16. Beating a team twice in one season is tough, especially a team as good as Georgetown. Of course, the Hoyas will have to get by No. 14 seed Belmont in the opening round, and that won't be easy. Where They Eventually Bow Out: North (14-4) VW Where They Eventually Bow Out: Michigan State, Elite Eight: Tom Izzo's Spartans will be too physical for the Tigers and control the interior on their way to another Final Four. Where They Could Slip Up: Florida in the Second Room. The Gators can match Missouri's guard play with Kenny Boynton, Erving Walker, and Bradley Beal. Overview: Many people thought that the Tigers deserved a No. 1 seed. Their nonconference schedule that featured just two NCAA at-large teams, No. 7seed Notre Dame and No. 12 seed California, did Missouri no favors when the brackets were announced. They do get the weakest No. 1 seed in Michigan State, though, and if they can survive Florida in the second round, the first final four in school history isn't out of reach. MISSOURI (30-4. NO.2 SEED, WEST REGION G Overview. The Bears have the talent of a No. 1seed but have underachieved this season, finishing fourth in the Big 12. They have some head scratching losses on their resume, such as 18- and 15-point losses to Kansas and Missouri and a home loss to Kansas State. But when coach Scott Drew dumps his patented zone for a man-to-man defense, Baylor is able to use its incredible size to its advantage. Some have picked the Bears to be upset by No. 14 seed South BAYLOR (27-7, 12-6) NO. 3 SEED, SOUTH REGION STATE Dakota State, but it's not likely. Where They Eventually Slip Up: Duke, Sweet 16: I want to pick Baylor to take out Duke, and they definitely have the talent to do just that. But coach Mike Kryzewski against Drew is the definition of a mismatch. Drew doesn't stand a chance. IOWA STATE (22-10, 12-6) NO. 8 SEED, SOUTH REGION Owatonna, Sioux County Where They Could Slip Up: UNLV, Second Round. Overview: Cyclones coach Fred Heiberg did a monvolue job this season in Ames, leading Iowa State to a third-place finish in the Big 12 and an NCAA tournament birth. He was rewarded by playing Connecticut, with hall-of-fame coach Jim Calhoun and a group of about three futures pros. If the Cyclones can survive, they get No. 1 overall seed Kentucky in the second round. A No. 10 seed would have been better. Where They Could Slip Up: Connecticut, First Round. Where They Eventually Fall: Connecticut, First Round: The Huskies have the coaching advantage and are too talented for the Cyclones. KANSAS STATE (21-10, 10-8) T Overview: The Wildcats worked themselves off the STATE (21-10, 10-8) NO. 8 SEED, EAST REGION bubble during the second half of the season but earned a dreaded eight seed and a possible matchup with a one seed in the second round. Unlike Iowa State, however, Kansas State should handle Southern Miss in its first game. And while it's unlikely, the Wildcats could play with top-seeded Syracuse in the second round. Their toughness and rebounding ability could give the Orange fits all game. Where They Could Slip Up: Southern Miss, First Round: The Wildcats should win, but it's still an 8/9 matchup and relative toss-up. Where They Eventually Fall: Syracuse, Second Round: While an upset wouldn't completely shock me, it would still be a tall order. TEXAS (20-13, 9-9) NO. 11 SEED, EAST REGION Overview: The Longhorns just barely snuck into the tournament as the final Big 12 team to receive a bid by the tournament committee. They face a tough Cincinnati team in the first round, but they have something a lot of teams don't have: a lethal scorer. Senior guard J'Covan Brown averages 20.1 points per game and could single-handedly win a game or two for Texas. There always seems to be one double-digit seed to make the Sweet 16 and Texas isn't a bad choice for that honor this year. Where They Slip Up: Cincinnati, First Round Where They Eventually Fall: Ohio State, Sweet 16. —Edited by Max Rothman FOOTBALL Offensive lineman commits to University On Monday, Kansas Athletics announced the signing of its 23rd commitment to the 2012 football class, adding offensive lineman Aslam Sterling to coach Charlie Weis' first group of recruits. Sterling, who won All-Northeast Conference honors his freshman and sophomore years at Nassau Community College, will join the Jayhawks in June as the team prepares for its 2012 season. He picked the Jayhawks after receiving interest from West Virginia, Syracuse, Rutgers and Buffalo. Sterling did not miss one game at Nassau Community College, or NCC, while going 19-2 in his two seasons with the Lions. In 2010, NCC went 11-0 and was ranked No. 3 in the nation for Division II Sterling played both center and right guard at Bayside High School in Queens, NY., and was awarded All-Borough and All-City honors during his career. When he was in high school, a New York area high school football website, empirechallenge.com, said Sterling could block and pass equally well, and that he was from multiple Division I-AA schools, now known as the Football Championship Subdivision, or FCS. "Bayside didn't have the wins to show for his dominance," empirechallenge.com said. "But there were few in the borough better than his 6-foot-5, 320-pound behemoth."

Former student body president Michael Wade Smith initiated the volunteer program, which originated at Texas A&M University in 1982, at the University last spring. About 500 students contributed their time and effort at more than 70 local locations, including homes and businesses that had sent in job requests. "They can request painting, raking leaves, planting in the yard or just general maintenance," said Margaret Hair, program adviser at the University. "It's open to everyone." Last year, although the day attracted volunteers, the organizers had difficulties obtaining job requests from the Lawrence community. Job registration forms for residents are available online at www.thebigeventku.com. "People were a little skeptical because they think it's a charity kind of thing, but it's a big thank you," said University Big Event executive director Daniel Bjornson. The Big Event will also have students working in schools, Douglas County buildings and a community garden. Student Senate has helped the Big Event by providing funding to purchase transportable tools, such as wheelbarrows, rakes, shovels, trash bags, garden shovels, hedge trimmers and latex paint. Bailey Perkins, a former student from Wichita, took part in the Big Event last year. She and other members of Omega Phi Alpha, a volunteer-oriented sorority, helped a woman hang curtains. "There were four or five girls that had never used power tools," Perkins said. "We were trying to drill holes in her wall. It was a lot of fun. Then we got to sit down, BIG EVENT PARTICIPATION - 2011: About 500 volunteered at more than 70 job sites. 2012: 1,797 volunteers will work at approximately 160 job sites. have tea and play with her cats. She was an artist and so was her son, so she was showing us everything that they had done. She was really sweet." Hair said the Big Event provides volunteers with service-learning opportunities. For the organizers, it builds experience in leadership, managing an organization and working with the community on a large project. "It's a chance for the community to get service from KU." Hair said. "It's a way to say thank you to them for being a home for KU in Lawrence." Edited by Taylor Lewis CULTURE 7 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Naoh Oskow, right, poses with convenience store employees and a friend in a video he made that went viral in Japan. Oskow studied abroad in Japan for two years and was impressed by the country's sophisticated convenience stores. The making of an Internet star: student's video is viral in Japan MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Becoming a Japanese pop icon was not what Noah Oskow, a senior from Minneapolis, Minn., expected when he decided to study abroad in Japan for two years. However, Oskow, with the help of fellow students at Sophia University in Tokyo, developed a music video about Japanese convenience stores that went viral. Even spending time as Yahoo! Japan's most-viewed music video, Oskow's video gained him notoriety not just in Japan, but worldwide. The idea for the music video stemmed from a project assigned to some of Oskow's dorm-mates, coupled with an original song composed by another dorm-mate. With the help of 15 others, Oskow filmed for a few days and, after 15 hours of editing, the 3 minute 23 second video was complete. In it, the characters convey their deepest affections for Japanese convenience stores — "The stores are special, because unlike American convenience stores, they tend to stock a wide range of fresh, quality, food and drinks". Oskow said. "It's a more useful and enjoyable atmosphere than in the U.S." Konbini in Japanese — and Oskow at one point even expresses his desire to marry them. "A common theme in the lyrics and video is a strong sense of irony," said John Stowell, Oskow's collaborator from The University of Melbourne in Australia. "It's a sense of humor that's appreciated across Japanese and Western culture." "The Japanese students loved it," said Oskow. "We decided the Japanese public might enjoy it, despite its silliness, so I uploaded it to YouTube." "I believe it went viral — at least in Japan — due to an outsider's perspective on something so normal, a convenience store," said Ed Stahl, a student from the University of North Carolina who starred in the video while on exchange with Oskow. The video received hundreds of comments that praised it for embracing good aspects of Japanese culture and for its love of something that, while commonplace, is also a cultural icon in Japan, Oskow said. Soon enough, the video spread to other popular Japanese media sites and started getting 30,000 hits a day. Stahl can be seen wearing a green, long-sleeved shirt in the video. WATCH THE VIDEO http://udkne.ws/w7TWpi 18624917500 Some Japanese viewers, however, had trouble deciding whether the video was intended to be a joke, Oskow said. The video currently has more than 300,000 bits on Japanese media and still has bursts of popularity. Even as the stars of the video became recognizable by the masses of Tokyo, Oskow said the project had become a personal symbol for his dorm-mates. "Even though the video is silly, it's come to mean something to us that is more than the sum of its satirical parts," Oskow said.

CAMPUS Food inspections help keep dining facilities sanitary CAMPUS Memorial Stadium The Market The Underground Jayhawk Bird 15th St. Hawk Food Stop Mrs. E's The Studio Allen Fieldhouse Nassmith Dr. Jayhawk Soccer Complex Oliver Hall Graphic by Nikki Wentling KU Dining works to quickly correct its health code violations rsalyer@kansan.com RACHEL SALYER Students on campus shovel food into their mouths as they skim notes and computer screens, and in doing so, they may fail to notice the cleanliness of their dining experience. The Kansas Department of Agriculture enforces health codes throughout the state and performs Food, Safety and Lodging Inspections on all licensed establishments at least once a year, including campus locations and sorority and fraternity houses. — Edited by Katie James The results list critical and noncritical violations. "The difference between the two is that a critical violation must be handled immediately, because it is a threat to safety and may cause foodbourne illnesses," said Nicole Hamm, an inspection manager for the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Hamm said if a violation poses an immediate health hazard, a follow-up inspection must be performed. Mrs. E's had a follow-up inspection after inspectors found live cockroaches behind steam kettles in October, according to reports. A pest-control company was called and treated the problem the same day. The follow-up in November revealed no critical violations. KU Dining, which oversees Mrs. E's, serves approximately 15,000 meals daily, and Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining, said every one of those meals is made cautiously. "We take it incredibly seriously," Golledie said. "We have a dietician on staff that does her own inspection just to ensure that we are up to standards in every area." According to inspection results, The Underground had one critical violation when meat was observed at an improper temperature in April. The Market at the Kansas Union had two critical violations because a tomato slicer had dried food particles on it, and a Pizza Hut station was cleaned with a solution that did not "It's a fast way to eat, so unless something kept happening...I don't really think I'd stop." contain enough sanitizer. All violations were corrected on site. Beta Theta Pi had five critical violations during a November inspection, the most among the Greek houses. These violations included food obtaining enough mold to make the food unidentifiable and a dishwasher not having a detectable level of chlorine sanitizer. All five violations were corrected on site. Calls to the fraternity were not returned. Hawk Food Stops at Anschutz Library, Strong Hall, Pearson Hall, Summerfield Hall and the Jaybowl food area had no critical findings in the latest inspections. Mortar and Pestle Café received five critical violations, the most of all KU Dining locations, during an inspection in February. A few violations were for moldy eggplants and incorrect expiration dates. All of the violations were corrected on site. Robert Funk, a junior from Wichita, said he eats on campus every other day and would continue doing so unless there were repeated violations. "I like it," Funk said. "It's a fast way to eat, so unless something kept happening over and over again, I don't really think I'd stop." ROBERT FUNK Student Of the 29 sororities and fraternities with kitchens, a total of 36 critical violations were issued in the most recent inspections. Allen Fieldhouse had two critical violations during a January inspection because a sink did not dispense water, and tomatoes were observed at the wrong temperature after the refrigerator door was left open too long. Memorial Stadium had three critical violations because the hamburger patties were not hot enough, a sink temporarily had no hot water and turkey was not dated. All were corrected on site. Richard Brown, general manager for Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium, said keeping food facilities clean for students is important. "We take great pride in our facilities," Brown said. "We want the students to take pride in them too and feel safe and comfortable."

POLITICS BEN SALMON ASSOCIATED PRESS Comedian Jeff Foworthly introduces Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at a campaign stop at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Monday in Mobile, Ala. Romney moved on to Missouri on Tuesday before its Saturday caucuses. Romney visits St. Louis promises to cut budget ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Mitt Romney ignored his GOP presidential rivals Tuesday as he asked Missouri voters to help him secure the party nomination and take on President Barack Obama this fall. Romney told a St. Louis crowd of about 400 that Obama is content with high deficits and high gasoline prices. The former Massachusetts governor repeated his promises to cut spending, create jobs and boost the military. Romney did not refer directly or indirectly to his GOP rivals in his 15-minute speech under blue skies. He chose to spend the day in Missouri, which holds caucuses Saturday, rather than in Alabama and Mississippi, where Republicans were voting Tuesday. A Romney victory in either of those states could help solidify his claim as the likeliest nominee. Romney seemed content to spend much of his time doing TV and radio interviews. His first of two planned public events Tuesday was scheduled to last 50 minutes in the Kirkwood suburb of St. Louis. But he spoke only 15 minutes, took no questions, and began shaking hands and posing for photos with voters. On Monday in Mobile, Romney made a final pitch to Alabama voters during an appearance with comedian Jeff Foxworthy. He jabbed Obama, saying the president has botched policy on energy, taxes, health care and other issues. Romney's schedule called for him to spend much of Wednesday and Thursday raising money in New York before traveling to Puerto Rico on Friday. Puerto Rico's Republican caucuses are Sunday. STUDENT SENATE Student Senate will vote on a mandatory student fee increase of $15 per semester and changes to the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities during its full meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Alderson Room in the Kansas Union. Senators will vote on fee increase, privacy The fee increase is primarily due to inflation and new employees in the Counseling and Psychological Services. The changes in the student rights code gives students added protection for online speech and makes the disciplinary process more efficient. Other items Senate will vote on include bills to fund the following student organizations: KU College Republicans, KU Young Democratic Socialists and the Global Minded Club. The Senate will also decide on funding for "People of KU," an international student magazine. The Senate will also vote on a bill for funding a renovation of Wescoe Beach. The bill — calling for $100,000 of funding from Senate's reserve account — states "the current layout of Wescoe Beach is not conducive to its current or desired uses," and "the renovation of Wescoe Beach will allow students to use the space in a more productive way."

"The United States takes this as seriously as if it was our own citizens, and our children, who were murdered. We're heartbroken over the loss of innocent life," Obama said. He sounded stern and emotional in brief remarks on the weekend killings made before an unrelated White House event. "Ive directed the Pentagon to make sure that we spare no effort in conducting a full investigation," Obama said. "We will follow the facts wherever they lead us and we will make sure that anybody who is involved is held fully accountable with the full force of the law." ASIA Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the death penalty could be possible in the case. Obama's message was aimed at Afghans and at Americans for whom the killings were a reminder that tens of thousands of U.S. forces are fighting in Afghanistan more than 10 years after the war began. Obama insisted that the killings will not change U.S. commitment to finishing the job in Afghanistan, but he was clearly trying to reassure Americans that he will close out the war. The U.S. and NATO allies agreed more than a year ago to leave forces in Afghanistan through 2014. There is political pressure in Europe, and increasingly in the United States, to speed up that deadline. DHAKA, Bangladesh — A ferry packed with about 200 people collided with a cargo boat and capsized in a Bangladeshi river Tuesday, killing 31 people and leaving dozens more missing. "The death toll is likely to rise as more bodies are feared trapped inside," local police chief Mohammad Shahabuddin Kahn said. "We will get a better picture of the casualties once the sunken ferry is pulled out of the water." About 35 people were rescued after the ferry sank early in the morning on the Meghna River, just south of the capital. Dhaka. Divers have recovered 31 bodies from inside the sunken ferry. Khan said. He could not specify how many more were missing but said many of the missing were feared dead. Dozens missing after ferry boat crashes with a cargo boat in Bangladeshi river The MV Shariatapu was traveling to Dhaka from neighboring Shariatapu district to the southwest. The accident site is in Munshiganj district, about 20 miles south of Dhaka. Survivor Dulal Dowan said he was rescued by a nearby boat, but eight other family members traveling with him were still unaccounted for. Khan said the number of people still missing was close to 200, while Dewan told reporters about 300 people were on board when the double-deck ferry sank. It is difficult to get a reliable estimate as ferry operators rarely keep a list of passengers and most buy tickets once on board. An investigation has been ordered into the cause of the accident, said Azizul Alam, the area's government administrator. The ferry sank in water about 70 feet deep and a rescue vessel was trying to pull it close to the shore, he said. Fishing A group of people are pulling a boat in shallow water.

Rescuers recover the body of a victim of a ferry accident on the banks of the Meghna River in Munshiganj district, about 20 miles south of Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Tuesday. Three are confirmed dead, and the death toll is likely to rise. ASSOCIATED PRESS EUROPE Hungary may be sanctioned if it fails to meet overspending limit set by the EU BRUSSELS — European countries are realizing how difficult it will be to adhere to the strict rules against overspending that they have chosen as their key policy response to the two-year old debt crisis. At a meeting of in Brussels on Tuesday, European Union finance ministers agreed to sanction Hungary over its high deficits, but gave in to pressure from some countries to reconsider the ruling in June. That push followed a decision by the finance chiefs of the 17-country eurozone Monday night to give Spain some leeway on cutting this year's deficit. While both Hungary and Spain will be expected to meet their budget That gives Budapest three months to announce more structural budget cuts and prevent its deficit from breaking the EU's limit of 3 percent of economic output. If it fails to do so, Hungary won't get 495 million euro (the equivalent to $649 million) in EU development funds it is entitled to in 2013. A compromise solution was found by promising to reassess the sanctions in June, at which point they will be lifted if Hungary takes new measures.

ASIA China's repatriation causes controversy SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean lawmakers have scuffled with North Korean delegates in Switzerland at a U.N. meeting on the North's alleged human rights abuses. Several South Korean lawmakers tried to grab a North Korean diplomat leaving the U.N. meeting as they chanted slogans against China's policy of repatriating North Korean defectors, footage from Yonhap news agency shot Monday showed. The lawmakers were pushed away by security and North Korean delegates. The incident came amid reports that China is returning dozens of North Koreans to their communist homeland instead of letting them defect to the capitalist South. China considers North Koreans who illegally enter its soil economic migrants, but activists fear the North Koreans are refugees who will face torture and imprisonment if repatriated. Yonhap said the North's diplomat left the conference after denying a U.N. human rights envoy's criticism of his country. Seoul has urged Beijing to provide information on North Koreans reportedly held in China, but Beijing has refused. South Korea's Foreign Ministry has also sought help from the United Nations and the United States to stop China's repatriation. Dropped a class? Need a replacement? Let BartOnline help!

A decade ago, Becca Winstone (Judd) became a single mom when her CIA-agent husband Paul (Sean Bean) was blown up in Europe. Now their college-age son Michael (Nick Eversman) wants to go to Europe and study. Becca reluctantly agrees. Big mistake. the perspective of a very serious mama grizzly. Judd When Michael goes missing, Becca heads to Europe to find him. And she is not going as the mild-mannered owner of a florist shop, her most recent activity. As the trailers for the show readily note, she is going as a former CIA agent with plenty of contacts, more than one enemy. Soon enough she is not only on Michael's trail, she is deep in old, unresolved issues from her spying days — and both chasing and being chased by an array of intelligence operatives. I am trying not to give away any plot twists here, but in the two episodes I watched, there were plenty. some secrets and plenty of skills of the bone-crushing, gap-jumping, motorcycle-speeding and multiple-language-speaking variety. Gregory Poirier, who wrote "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," created the series — and it shares with that film attitude a sense that the audience won't ask too many plausibility questions as long as the show keeps moving. But there are still questions to be asked, such as why the first episode ends on a silly cliffhanger — and why, if Paul really was killed, is Bean listed as a regular cast member. For that matter, as smart as Becca is, she commits at least one very boneheaded move — and it's the sort that will have you yelling at the TV for her to wise up.

McClatchy Tribune 'John Carter' opens to weak ticket sales Instead, with a weak opening this past weekend, Wall Street analysts expect the company to take a $165-million loss on a movie that has joined "Heaven's Gate," "Ishtar" and "Howard the The source material was a century-old sci-fi touchstone that had inspired filmmakers including George Lucas and James Cameron. The movie would fit perfectly into Disney's plan to produce movies that would spawn sequels, become theme park attractions and drive sales of "John Carter" merchandise. 3 MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — When Walt Disney Co. executives gave the greenlight to the project that became the Martian adventure film "John Carter" they hoped they were launching the studio's next big franchise. Duck" in the constellation of Hollywood's costliest flops. What happened? The very things Disney thought would guarantee box-office success may have left "John Carter" star-crossed from the start. The acclaimed director had never made a live-action movie before. The executives guiding and helping market his movie were new on the job and had limited experience running movie divisions. And the source material, written beginning a century ago by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, had already been so picked over by its admirers that critics and audiences found the film hackneyed and stale. "The worst thing that can happen to a movie is the marketing team changes midstream," said Peter Sealey, marketing strategist and former marketing president at Columbia Pictures. "It's disheartening for the filmmakers, for the talent. They lose belief in the film." "John Carter" still has the potential to earn some of its money back. The movie opened to just over $30 million in domestic box-office revenue and earned $70 million more worldwide. But it's not the "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" the studio was hoping for. The status of any "John Carter" sequels or theme park attractions is unclear.

Does anybody else feel vulnerable in sweatpants? INTERNATIONAL Foreign assistance worth the challenges Kissing butt has its risks. You get what you want most of the time. But every once in a while, you end up with a mouth full of poop instead. The United States government will send more than $51 billion in foreign aid to countries around the world in the next fiscal year, according to the Department of State, and thousands of U.S. citizens will take part in humanitarian projects abroad. Some question whether those efforts make a positive difference, and there are good reasons to do so. This week, a team of KU undergraduates and medical students traveled to Panajachel, Guatemala, to deliver medical aid and perform water quality improvements. They will directly benefit more than 1,000 people in Guatemala. Their efforts follow a sustainable-aid model designed to empower people to help themselves, with the hope of eventually elim need for outside aide But despite all of the good that development work can do, there is a potential dark side that must be addressed. By Greg Loving gloving@kansan.com My first experience with international development work occurred in early 2011 on a water-engineering development trip to northwestern Honduras. Our team collected water samples from a number of rural villages that otherwise had no access to clean drinking water. Criticisms of development work often go like this: If there are still problems in the United States, then there is no reason to be sending resources abroad that could be helpful on the homefront. Some extend the argument further, saying that it borders on arrogance to think In one village, seven children had died of an unknown diarrheal infection in the previous month, but we were barred from sampling the water source by a stubborn landowner who threatened to shoot anyone who approached the well on his property. The nearby border town's police force was effectively paid off by gun-toting narcotraffickers and unwilling to intervene. I began to understand the incredible frustration that can be associated with international aid work. That story is typical in international development work. If improving the conditions in the developing world were easy, then it would already be done. If improving the conditions in the developing world were easy, then it would already be done. very real logistical challenges associated with operating in foreign environments. As my experience in Honduras showed me, basic security expectations in the U.S. are by no means a certainty abroad. Without strong legal institu- that we can simply swoop into a foreign country and "save them from their barbaric ways." There are also tions, the rule of law itself may not exist. In such conditions, it becomes increasingly difficult to help people. Put but, despite all of Second, to those who argue that international aid is the despite all of these criticisms and problems, I think that the benefits of international aid far outweigh the costs. realm of naive youngsters looking to boost their résumé. I would present the decision of hiring someone who spent their spring break volunteering abroad versus someone who stayed in Lawrence to frequent The Hawk. Even if this is in some way self-serving, the aid is delivered and people in need benefit. It's OK for everyone to be better off, including the aid worker. Third, one of the most important results of international development work is an exchange of cultures and ideas. As the world becomes a smaller place because of economic and technological forces, it benefits all of us to learn a little about how our lives are interconnected. That Starbucks coffee you bought before class probably links you to a poor farmer in rural Guatemala. First, despite how inefficient or ineffective development work can sometimes be, the practice undeniably delivers help to those who would not receive it otherwise. This improves the quality of life in disadvantaged regions and can build goodwill abroad. Finally, as long as development initiatives are designed to be sustainable and preclude arrogant notions such as "we know better," foreign aid can be effective. The KU team in Guatemala traveled with Heart to Heart International, an nongovernmental organization (NGO) based out of Olathe that promotes sustainable development models. This organization understands that while there "Our efforts might not save the world, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying." MICHAEL TETWILER First-year medical student are certainly downsides to providing aid abroad, trying to help and understand is better than doing nothing. As first-year medical student Michael Tetwiler said, "Our efforts might not save the world, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying." Loving is a senior in chemical engineering and economics from McPherson.

As social media rises as a form of entertainment, SOCIAL MEDIA several Twitter accounts have appeared on campus that parody local public figures and find humor in KU culture. Most students have observed the alarming proportions of the campus squirrel population. The squirrels inspired one student to open a Twitter account to speak for them: @SquirrelsofKU. Kansan: Why Twitter as your outlet? @SquirrelsofKU: Twitter provides a to-the-point style of comedy that other social networks can't compete with. Also, the ability to "follow" or "unfollow" is as simple as a click or a poke of the finger. It allows people to connect who have never met, but is not as invasive as Facebook. Kansan: What prompted you to start @SquirrelsofKU? @SquirrelsofKU: I had seen @ Fake]effWithey getting #Withey- WithIt and thought it might be fun do to something similar. But I wanted it to be original and a character that the majority of KU students could relate to. Kansan: Where do you draw inspiration, material as the voice of the campus squirrels? @SquirrelsofKU: The material used can range from keeping up the drunk, mischievous or food-loving character or any random occurrence seen on campus. I try to make fun of a few stereotypes here and there, but I hope not to offend anyone. We don't want any dead squirrels on campus. Kansan: What goes in to running a "campus-known" twitter? @SquirrelsofKU: Running the account isn't as easy at it may seem. The majority of my followers are people whom I've never met. There's many times where I think I should tweet something, but then realize it's not part of the character I'm trying to portray. Also, along with No. 3 — I really would like to not make people angry. Our generation's idea of comedy is sometimes very offensive and degrading. I need to put myself in that mindset sometimes and hope when I press 'send' I don't have bad responses. Kansan: What do you hope to do with your account? @SquirrelsofKU: I don't expect much out of the account, honestly. When I received the first tweet relating actual squirrels on campus to myself, it was pretty cool. I hope to make people laugh; it's as simple as that. I know I won't see everyone reach my goal. But, if people keep following me and 'retweeting' me, it means they're enjoying what I'm writing and it makes my day. @SquirrelsOfKU TWITTER BIO Kansan: Lastly, is there any final message you would like to say to the people around campus? @SquirrelsofKU: In no way am I a "squirrel leader" or in any power above the squirrels. If you are to get chased on the day I happened to say someone would be chased — I didn't do it. "I'm here to bring you the eyes and ears within the trees, the dirty little secrets, odd behavior, and sarcasm that is KU. Oh yeah, I love nuts and alcohol." The student behind the account requested to remain anonymous in spirit of good fun and will continue to publish humorous, squirrel-related tweets as long as the people keep following and "#gettingnutty."

PARKS Best game: Thomas Taylor, junior from Overland Park Kahana Benjamin, a 6-foot-2-inch left-handed starter, has started four games for the Jayhawks and boasts a 1-1 record with a 2.36 ERA. He has thrown 26.2 innings, allowing seven runs while striking out 16. Take away a rough outing against Louisiana-Lafayette, where he threw just 4.1 innings and allowed five runs, and he has been the star of the pitching staff. In his other three starts, he averaged 7.1 innings with a 0.80 ERA. Benjamin appears very composed and comfortable on the mound for a freshman and fields his position exceedingly well. In his first start of the season, Taylor took on Belmont in Nashville, Tenn. Belmont is a solid team that made the NCAA tournament last season, and the Jayhawks wanted to get off to a good start this season. Already sitting at 2-0 for the weekend, Taylor delivered for the Jayhawcs. He threw 8.1 innings of scoreless baseball, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out five. He needed only 89 pitches in the process. It was a truly dominant performance from Taylor, and the Jayhawcs would go on to win 2-0 and move to 3-0 on the season. Kansas needs Taylor to be the leader of the pitching staff; he is the only upperclassman in the starting rotation. Most consistent: Robert Kahana, freshman from Ewa Beach, Hawaii Kahana is Kansas' "swing man" this season. He'll start games on weekdays or when needed, but he will mostly come out of the bullpen on weekends and eat up innings. He has thrived in the role, possessing a 1-0 record and a 1.76 ERA. In 15.1 innings of work, he has allowed three runs on eight hits and six walks while striking out three. Coach Ritch Price said Kahana would be a leader of the pitching staff by the end of his career. CLEVELAND McKav 2 FIELDING/HITTING Biggest surprise: Connor McKay, freshman from Parker, Colo. Suiter McKay, a freshman outfielder, provides some power for the Jayhawks. He leads the team and ranks 34th in the country in home runs, with four on the season. He leads the team in total bases with 26 and ranks second on the team in RBI with 10. He certainly has things to improve on. He ranks second on the team with 15 strikeouts and hits only .250 on the season. Best game: Michael Suiter, freshman from Kailua, Hawaii T On March 7 against North Dakota, Suiter scored three runs and also drove in three in a 12-9 loss. Most impressive about the freshman's outing was that he reached base three times by walking. It's good to see a freshman with patience and composure at the plate. He also hit a three-run homer to pull the Jayhawks within one run after trailing by as many as five runs early. Kuntz Kuntz, the Jayhawks' leadoff man, has consistently set the table for the Jayhawks this season. Of the Jayhawks with more than 40 at bats, he leads the team with a .321 batting average. He ranks 54th in the nation for walks, with 13 in 66 plate appearances. He has reached base 10 times more than the next Jayhawk and he fields his position well. When he reaches base, he can run too. He is five for five this season on stolen-base attempts. He has been a dependable leadoff man and a rock at shortstop for Kansas this season. Most consistent: Kevin Kuntz, junior from Overland Park BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 10 Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger sits at one of the tables with his family. He yawns. 6:21 P.M. 6:31 P.M. Chaos. Chairs go flying. Tania Jackson takes off around the room. Players jump in erups. Nothing planned about this celebration. Henrickson stands and begins clapping. She's smiling. Goodrich, who has suffered two ACL injuries herself, stands next to Davis, her injured teammate. She grins at the TV in shock. She finally gets pulled into the celebration when Asia Boyd picks her up. JACKSON 6:34 PM The whole team gathers among the mess of chairs. They huddle and break with simple words: family. 6:40 P.M. Henrickson is pulled away by a phone interview with 1320 AM. Players rush over to congratulate her, but then realize she's on the phone. They all stand around one of the tables in excitement. Henrickson paces. She can't wait to talk to her team. 6:41 P.M. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland rolls on the ground laughing as Verdi and Franklin tickle her. METRO 6:42 P.M. Goodrich is shuffled into the next room, where reporters hound her. She's got a grin on her face the whole time. 6:52 P.M. Henrickson walks into the Jayhawk Room, or as Henrickson calls it, the "cigar room." She doesn't smoke cigars but tells a group of reporters, "I'd give you a cigar if I had one." 6:58 P.M. The players finally clear out of the room. Some of them walk out with Franklin. She's got her arms wrapped around their shoulders. Others yell as they sprint down the hallway. MARSA Henrickson is one of the last to leave. She walks down the second-story concourses inside Allen Fieldhouse, texting. It's been eight years, but here it is: Henrickson and Kansas are in the NCAA Tournament. - Edited by Ian Cummings BRACKET BASH 2012 VISIT KANSAN.COM & CLICK ON UDK BRACKET BASH SIGN-UP $2000 cash card for the winning bracket $2000 prize presented by: Aberdeen & Apple Lane Apartments SUBMIT YOUR PICKS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN KANSAN.com studentapartmentliving.com aberdeen APARTMENTS apple·lane APARTMENTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2012 PAGE 9 QUOTE OF THE DAY "On his tombstone: 'I was a bracketologist, the best in America.'" — Louisville coach Rick Petino to USA Today on bracketologist Joe Lundardi FACT OF THE DAY Joe Lunardi, resident college basketball bracketologist for ESPN teaches an online class "Fundamentals of Bracketology" for Saint Joseph's University. --- ESPN.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: When did Lunardi publish his first public bracket?

By Tanvi Nimkar tnimkar@kansan.com Every year when Selection Sunday rolls around, millions print brackets and predict which team will be the NCAA champion. March is full of Final Four surprises; this year is no exception. Teams are not selected on their record alone. One team that surprised me this year is Texas. Despite consistently losing to top teams this season, including North Carolina, Kansas and Missouri, Texas got a bid. Sometimes the teams chosen are the ones with the unfortunate losses in tough games. The tournament is the final test for teams to prove themselves. All season long, Syracuse and Kentucky have remained in the top five, so it's no surprise both teams received a No. 1 seed. However, what matters is how they'll fare against supposedly weaker teams. Both Syracuse and Kentucky lost conference tournaments; Cincinnati gave Syracuse its second loss of the season during the semifinal of the Big East tournament, and Vanderbilt proved Kentucky isn't invincible by defeating the Wildcats in the Southeastern Conference THE GIVEN: title game. Although both teams suffered stinging losses in the conference tournaments, the first round shouldn't really be a challenge. In the past 26 years, a No.16 seed team has never defeated a No.1 seed. We'll just wait and see what happens. THE MAYBE: Many teams proved this season they deserve to be in the tournament. Now, it comes down to the seed they got. In the final weeks of February, approximately five teams had the credentials to be a No. 1 seed, but only two spots were left after Syracuse and Kentucky. North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, Missouri and Ohio State all somewhat dominated the season with strong victories and a few, regrettable losses. All five could cruise through the tournament or become the victim of an upset. Depending on the teams' preparedness, all five could be Final Four contenders, but for that to happen, North Carolina will have to take on Kansas. Are we ready for a rematch? THE LONG SHOT: Finally, there are those teams with automatic bids or those that show potential; some experts refer to these teams as "Cinderella" teams. Each Cinderella team has its own reason to be lucky to get a bid. For some, the talent just isn't there to compete, but instead there is sheer willpower to win. Two examples include Virginia Commonwealth and Butler; both teams surpassed expectations by advancing to the Final Four last year. Each year, the story is the same. There is always a team that defies the odds. This year, the names may be different, but the story is the same. One high-seed team must fall for these teams to rise. Virginia Commonwealth made the cut again and I recommend nobody underestimate this team. VCU coach Shaka Smart proved it last year: He is a tournament coach.

Strole 16 East 13th 842-5116 Free Initial Consultation V Volume 124 Issue 117 kansan.com Wednesday, March 14, 2019 S sports COMMENTARY Kansas' image not bad By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com So, in high school, there al-ways seems to be that guy or girl who gets classified as so, in high school, we all ways seems to be that guy or girl who gets classified as "the nice guy," or "the cool girl!" He or she is smart, kind and fun — or whatever you want to call it. And, in hindsight, that guy or girl would've been a great catch. But, in high school, most people don't consider him or her a top choice to be in a relationship with. That person is more of a Plan B, if you will. He or she has all the tools to be there, but, when it comes down to it, you wouldn't call that person sexy. And that isn't a bad thing, because the persona of the "nice guy" fits the University of Kansas men's basketball program. When people talk about Kansas basketball, they say, "It has the best tradition" and "The fans are great." But they wouldn't call it a "sexy" program. Sometimes, people have a hard time explaining why the program has struggled lately in recruiting. And to be honest, there's no reason — on paper at least — that Kansas struggled on the recruiting trail this past year, especially with Bill Self running the show. But let's be honest: When you're a junior or senior in high school, and you have your choice of guys or girls, what matters isn't what's best for you three or four years down the road. What does matter is what makes you look cool to your peers at that time, and what makes you feel good about yourself. Think about the nice guy's and cool girl's relationships. They probably don't bring home the most-attractive partner, which is okay, because they're just going for the right fit. Their relationships are like Kansas — who may get a top recruit every once in a while, but normally gets the players who "fit" best. Kansas' "cool guy" persona is exemplified as Kansas fans are gripping about the ESPN, or east-coast, love affair with Anthony Davis over Thomas Robinson for the National Player of the Year award. Of course, ESPN is pumping up Davis, because Kentucky, especially this year's team, is "sexy." They bring in the dollars. Advertisers want their company's logo next to the name "Kentucky," just like they would pay more for their logo to be next to a good-looking model in a magazine. And while some may look at this as being detrimental to Kansas' program, it's not. Kansas will survive, and it has survived, because it relies on smarts to win. It needs a great coach, it needs a clean image, it needs to work hard and it needs to get the players who are the perfect fit. The Kansas basketball program can't be complacent if it wants to remain elite. It may never be ESPN's favorite, and it doesn't have to be. And that's what makes Kansas basketball special. It's the unique aspect of a "nice guy" program, which has worked for everything it's ever earned. So while Kansas basketball might not be "sexy" on the outside, once you get to know it, there is no other program youd rather be with. It is special, it is unique and damn, it has a great personality. - Edited by Corinne Westeman Spring stars emerge for Kansas PAGE 8 Enter our Bracket Bash to win $2000 in cash PAGE 6 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL INSIDE THE WAITING GAME PHOTOS BY ASHLEIGH LEWANSAN After a 'rollercoaster' season, Kansas was unsure of an NCAA spot RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com After losing their best player to an ACL injury and losing a game to rival Kansas State on Feb. 12, Aishah Sutherland, Angel Goodrich and Bonnie Henrickson dragged themselves to the podium with puffy, watery eyes. At that moment, Kansas' future looked uncertain. Carolyn Davis, the Jayhawks' leading scorer, was out for the year. No one knew how they would respond. 5:58 P.M. The minutes slowly tick toward the "Selection Show." About 50 people gather around tables in a second-floor room inside Allen Fieldhouse having just finished dinner. Dick Vittale pops onto the flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. The Jayhawks turn their attention to the television. He is talking about the men's tournament, announced the night before. The Kansas women don't care. They want to know their fate. 6:06 P.M. The Jayhawks lost six of their last eight games without Davis, but they managed two surprising road victories against Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Those two wins gave them a chance to make the NCAA Tournament. Once their season ended with a loss last Thursday, the Jayhawks could only wait for Monday's selection show. Here what it looks like when a team discovers its NCAA Tournament future in real time. PETE FOYAN ESPN's Trey Wingo opens the "Selection Show." Junior forward Carolyn Davis rubs her face. 6 PM Associate Director of Media Relations Christine Dieckmann walks by a group of reporters, biting her lower lip, waiting, like everyone else, for the news. Assistant coach Tory Verdi sits between fellow assistant coach Aqua Franklin and coach Henrickson. Franklin sits slightly slouched in her chair, arms crossed, staring at the screen. She doesn't look like she's in the mood to talk. Not until the brackets are unveiled. Maybe not even then. Henrickson sits straight in her chair. She looks poised for any result. Henriksson sits straight in her chair. She looks poised for any result. Verdi sits with his 3-year-old daughter, Avery, on his lap. Both are decked out in Jayhawk gear. Verdi attempts to get her to focus on the TV. 6:08 PM Texas, another Big 12 bubble team, flashes up on the screen. A few players stomp in frustration. Angel Goodrich, a junior guard, cracks a smile. You can tell she's not happy. --- 6:13 P.M. Another commercial break, and still no result. Guards CeCe Harper and Monica Engleman spin around to talk with Goodrich, Davis and freshman Asia Boyd. Goodrich will later say that they were trying to count the number of spots left. 6:15 P.M. Leaning up against the wall, Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, stands parallel to the television. Like many others in the room, he's got the camera feature on his iPhone ready. He peeks at the HD screen to see how many teams have been selected. Then, not long after, Kansas flashes on the screen. Davis jumps in her seat. She quickly realizes, though, the team is Kansas State. A nervous laugh fills the room after they realize it's the Wildcats. SEE BASKETBALL PAGE 8 MEN'S BASKETBALL Manning's talents develop new stars G MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com twitter.com/IDK bball Danny Manning, left, shone as a star forward for coach Larry Brown in the 1980s, averaging 24.8 points per game. Nine years ago, he returned to Kansas as an assistant coach under Bill Self and started working to develop new Jayhawks. There's a tall, hallowed figure in Lawrence who has cast all that he knows about basketball on young, raw athletes with big dreams. He's done it quietly. The bench is his perch. What he preaches then blossoms on the court. It's not loud and doesn't shine from the video board. This man, Danny Manning, somehow descends into the background in this town. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Manning is well-known in these parts. Under coach Larry Brown, he averaged 24.8 points per game as the root of the "Danny and the Miracles" championship team in 1988. After 17 years, seven teams and two All-Star appearances in the NBA, he joined coach Bill Self's staff. For the past nine years at Kansas, he has bestowed wisdom from his basketball trials to sculpt young men into the best players they can be. Manning, a former power forward himself, naturally specializes in teaching the big boys. Junior forward Thomas Robinson is his greatest current pupil. "We thought if the cards fell right, he could have a tremendous year," Manning said. "I can't say I saw a potential Player of the Year candidate." As a freshman, Robinson was And that's the thing with development. If you know how to teach it all — the sweat, the patience, the dedication — potential can morph into excellence and sometimes Player-of-the-Year candidacy. consistently frustrated with his 7.2 minutes played per game. Now, as a junior, the Big 12 Player of the Year with NBA eyes watching his every move, Robinson averages 17.9 points and 11.8 rebounds in 31.6 minutes per game. Manning was there for every step. "I like to share with them the different angles and different ways to create post position," Manning said. "I think it all starts with footwork." Self has spent years molding his scheme into one that allows post players to touch the ball on nearly every possession. Manning develops these post players so they learn to attack defenses like jackknives instead of butter knives. "We hear it's not about speed, but getting the move right and making sure it works," Robinson said. "My whole thing is being more patient on the offensive end. Everything slowed down for me. With that came better footwork." Practices with Manning aren't rushed and busy; they're rhythmic and calm, designed to repeat a move and ensure it's taught correctly. "We try to do multiple drills at the same time to create awareness," Manning said. "To create a sense of knowing that when I'm on the court, there are nine other players on the court out here with me. Where are they?" Self and Manning share a belief that players should have basic options in their head. This avoids an overload of thoughts and rigid, mechanical play. With the ball, you can.. 1. Shoot over your shoulder, right or left. 2. Face the defender and drive to the hoop, shoot or pass. 1 3. Set a screen and roll to the inside or pop to the outside. "We've kept it more so bare bones" Manning said. All steps require an understanding of the opposition's defensive sets. Improvisation is often necessary, but Self and Manning's simple method, combined with endless practice, has changed Jayhawk after Jayhawk. Marcus and Markieff Morris, two superb talents from Philadelphia who once had unidentifiable positions, also worked with Mapping. Marcus was the 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year. Markieff has only got Cole Aldrich, a huge, lanky center in Bloomington, Minn., played 8.3 minutes per game in his freshman year at Kansas. He worked with Manning and became a two-time Big 12 defensive player of the year. ten better as a pro with the Phoenix Suns. . All three were drafted in the first round of the NBA draft; Aldrich in 2010, the Morris twins last spring. "It starts with coach Self's system," Manning said. "He has a system that puts big guys in a position to be successful for many, many years." Manning won't shout it, but he might have something to do with it, too.

This will allow the Student Safety Advisory Board to grant new health and safety benefits to students. RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com The University Student Senate passed a bill allocating $100,000 from the Senate Reserve account to help fund the Wescoe Beach Renovation Project during its meeting yesterday evening. Senate Bill 2012-183 passed with a vote of 48 to six. The project comprises updating Wescoe's exterior by adding seating, lighting and trees. Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory Board allocated $25,000 covering half of necessary funds for lighting. The other half of the lighting came from University administration, which agreed to match the funding dollar-for-dollar, putting the estimated project total at $250,000. The plan is designed to promote functionality within the space by adding 17 new seat-walls while maintaining all major student walkways, which were determined in a study. It also adds 13 new trees, one new light pole and relocates two existing light poles, bringing lighting for the space up to University standard. Libby Johnson, student body president, and Gabe Bliss, student body vice president, authored the bill and began working on it in April after they were elected. Exact details for the plan, such as adding outlets for the four or five tableing spaces, will be worked out through the office of design and construction management. "We're extremely excited to see this come to fruition," Johnson said. "It's been a lot of time and a lot of work. We've gotten to work with a lot of people from the University, and we are very excited it is paying off." The project is expected to start May 15 and be completed by August 1. Johnson said the senate reserve account was created to be used for projects that would have a lasting effect on campus, but in his speech Mitch Rucker, a freshman senator, asked voting members whether the money may be better spent. "I think this is purely an exercise in vanity and excess, and it isn't necessary." Rucker said in his speech. Wescole was last renovated in 1973 and was referred to as an eyesore by Johnson. The reserve account's current balance was just under $320,000, an amount higher than usual. "I think we're using the students' money in a way that will enhance campus life." Bliss said. "That's the purpose of student senate and the reserve account" "Wescoe is really a hub for student activity." Johnson said. "It's where student study, relax and socialize. It's also where student organizations connect with the student body, and it's time to upgrade and update that space." Edited by Nadia Imafidon PLACE YOUR BETS NCAA Bracket Graphic by Ryan Benedick Bracket strategies involve all variables MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Whether it is gut intuition, statistics, or team loyalty, students rely on a variety of factors when filling out their brackets for March Madness. Cal Bayer, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo., filled out three brackets this season, all different, one of which he is submitting for his pool at his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. "I go through and pick what I'm feeling at the time," Bayer said. "I remember different things about different teams at the time I'm filling each one out." Bayer always picks the University to win the national championship, and usually chooses Big 12 teams, except for Missouri. Henry Clever, a junior from St. Louis, Mo., has yet to fill out his bracket, but also plans to choose the University to win it all, mostly due to his loyalty to the team. "The reason why teams win is too complicated for me to predict, and the seeds aren't a good determination of who's going to win," Clever said. "You can't really know, so I might as well hope I get lucky and pick my team." As for the other match-ups, Clever said he will choose teams that have done well all season, but lost a big game recently. Those teams will have a reason to be fired up and go further, Clever said. For those less interested in team loyalty, the Wall Street Journal offers an online bracket in which you can fill out a bracket based on team statistics while remaining blind to the team name, referred to as the Blindfold Bracket. For those more interested in a more statistical approach, The New York Times offers a probability field for winners in each round. Currently, it favors Kentucky as the most likely school to win the national championship with a probability of 26.4 percent. Jacob Baty, a junior from Overland Park, relies less on team loyalty and more on objectivity when selecting winning teams. He too has Kentucky winning the championship. While a Kansas fan, he did not say how far he picked the University going. "It's debatable whether they'll beat Georgetown," Baty said. "Losing to Baylor didn't help my confidence." Baty usually picks lower seeds, experienced coaches and teams who played strong opponents to do well. "I hope KU does well, but I try to be more objective than blindly loyal," Baty said. "Being blindly loyal never wins brackets." Edited by Amanda Gage LEGISLATURE Student IDs accepted as valid at election polls REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com To add to the list of the different uses a KU student ID card possesses, students can now use them at election polls in Kansas. All university student IDs in Kansas have recently been considered a valid form of identification for voting purposes according to Secure and Fair Elections Act (S.A.FE Act.) Kansas legislature adopted S.A.F.E. Act on April 18, 2011 and went into effect on Jan. 1. It requires voters to show an approved photographic identification at all Kansas government and presidential election polls. Voter turnout for college students is not as high as other age groups said Jack Martin, director of strategic communications for the University. He said more student involvement in the political process results in the views of students being taken more into account when decisions are being made in the local and national governments. A list of other acceptable photo IDs include driver's licenses, nondriver's licenses, concealed carry of a hand gun licenses, military IDs, public assistance IDs and employee badges that are issued by a municipal court, county, state or federal state of Kansas. "We wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to comply with the new requirement, while at the same time, protecting against voter fraud," Kansas Secretary of State Chris Kobach said. "We felt that the universities in Kansas were sufficiently careful in distributing photo IDs. It was unlikely that university photo IDs would be used as a tool for fraud." KU 0101 0101 0101 0101 Kansas Jayhawker STUDENT ID: 01010101 Issued: 03/15/2012 departments of motor vehicles (DMV). "We want KU students to be active, informed, and engaged citizens. Part of the rights and responsibilities in citizenship is voting and you need an ID to vote in Kansas." Martin said. Kay Curtis, director of public affairs for the Kansas Secretary of State, said before the S.A.F.E. Act was passed, the only requirement when registering to vote was a statement claiming citizenship if no other form of proof was available. The S.A.F.E. Act demands documentation to be shown that proves citizenship when registering to vote. Voters are still required to register to vote before going to the polls. Registration forms are available online at www.dmw.org, local libraries, city halls and local There is a state-wide voter education campaign to inform Kansas residents about the S.A.F.E. Act. The campaign is paying for ads on TV, radio, newspaper and internet. Curtis said partnerships across the state are encouraged to meet with different organizations, political parties and candidates to help spread the message. "We're especially pleased with the growth and enthusiastic support of the S.A.F.E. Act Community Partner group that includes most of the leading Kansas universities, associations, financial services, utilities, media organizations, state Jeremy O'Malley/2012 and social agencies and retailers," Curtis said. "They're all equally important because they reach different audience groups." Graphic by Bailey Atkinson Kobach said the law has already seen some success at other schools in the state. "We have seen the law in effect in Wichita," Kobach said. "There was a big election, on Feb. 28, on a tax bill at question in the city of Wichita. Wichita State University students were affected and I'm not Citizens who do not have a form of photo identification can receive a free voter ID by applying at a DMV. Details and more information are available at www.gotvoterid.com. aware of any University students that had any difficulty voting." Edited by Max Lush Student Senate voted to expand the student code of rights to protect online speech, and to a $15 increase in student fees during its regular meeting Wednesday night. Senate also agreed to fund the People of KU international student magazine and the $100,000 renovation of Wescoe Beach using money from the Senate's reserve account. STUDENT SENATE Before the regular meeting took place, Senate invited a guest speaker to discuss diversity and the importance of being aware of underrepresented populations at the University. Cody Charles, the assistant director for multicultural affairs, led an interactive discussion during the meeting to explain how members can recognize the diversity in their peers. He urged student senators to push for multicultural awareness. "Continue to educate yourself on issues that are affecting a wide variety of students." Charles said in the meeting.

P. K. M. M. Supporters believe the plan is a step toward tax relief and job creation, but critics argue that some pro O'Neal visions favor the wealthy and businesses. Others maintain that the state can't afford the plan's price tag, estimated between $375 million and $425 million. The legislation, approved 68-56, is the second tax-break plan that the House has passed in two years. Last year's plan languished in the Senate, never coming to a vote, and a Senate committee on Wednesday endorsed a separate income tax plan offered by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback with minor changes. House Speaker Mike O'Neal was confident that some form of tax relief would pass the Legislature this session. But the Hutchinson Republican predicted the final plan's cost would be far less that outlined in the House plan. The House plan would lower the tax rates in all income brackets and require any growth in state revenue above 3 percent to be used to cut taxes further. It also keeps in place popular income credits and exemptions, including the earned income tax credit for low-income tax filers. The elimination of sales taxes on food would cost the state an estimated $350 million annually. Supporters of the provision said it was another way to give Kansas residents more disposable income for other purposes. It would also phase out earnings taxes for thousands of partnerships, sole proprietorships and other small businesses. The sales tax rate would drop to 5.7 percent from 6.3 percent in July 2013, as previously scheduled. They also said the changes Brownback has pushed cutting tax rates as a top goal of the 2012 session as he seeks to revive the Kansas economy. He proposed a similar income tax bill that House members reviewed and sampled in drafting their own package. Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said the administration's policies to create jobs have been taking hold, evidenced by a report earlier Tuesday that said Kansas added 22,000 jobs in the past year. would create jobs. "It would be nice if we could look the people of Kansas in the face and tell them we could get rid of their income tax without having any consequences," said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, "but the fact of the matter is, this is going to disable funding for schools, universities, public safety and a lot of things Kansans depend upon from state government." Critics called the policy misguided, saying that the effects would leave Kansas government with fewer resources to function.

Sergey Lavrov said a plan to permit the U.S. and other NATO nations to use the base in the city of Ulyanovsk on the Volga River will soon be considered by the Russian Cabinet. If approved, the deal could help repair Russian ties with the United States, which have become increasingly strained over Washington's missile defense plans in Europe and the Syrian crisis. Moscow has provided the U.S. and other NATO member states with air corridors and railway routes for carrying supplies to and from Afghanistan. The new agreement would for the first time allow alliance members to set up a logistics facility for troops and cargo on Russian territory. Lavrov strongly defended such a deal, saying the success of NATO's mission is essential for fending off the spread of terrorism and illegal drugs from Afghanistan into ex-Soviet Central Asian nations and Russia. ASIA “It's in our interests that the coalition achieves a success before withdrawing and makes sure that the Afghans are capable of defending their country and ensuring an acceptable level of security.” Lavrov told the lower house of Russia's legislature. Some lawmakers argued that the U.S. military's use of the Ulyanovsk facility could threaten Russia by allowing foreign troops on its soil. TOKYO — A series of earthquakes rattled Tokyo and northeastern Japan on Wednesday evening but caused no apparent damage or injury in the same region hit by last year's devastating tsunami. Japan experiences earthquake days after anniversary of devastating tsunami The strongest was a magnitude 6.8 that struck off Hokkaido island and generated a small tsunami. Some communities along the northern Pacific coast advised residents to evacuate coastal homes. A swelling of eight inches was observed in water at the port of Hachinohe in Aomori about an hour after the tremor, with smaller changes seen elsewhere. The Meteorological Agency lifted all tsunami advisories within about 90 minutes. About 9 p.m. local time, a magnitude-6.1 quake shook buildings in the capital. It was centered just off the coast of Chiba, east of Tokyo, at a rather shallow nine miles deep. Narita International Airport briefly closed runways for inspection but later resumed operation. Several local train services were suspended for safety checks. There were no abnormalities reported at nuclear power plants after the two earthquakes, operators said. Nearly all of Japan's nuclear plants are offline for safety inspections. This past Sunday, Japan marked the first anniversary of the massive magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami that left some 19,000 people dead or missing, wreaked widespread damage along the northeastern coast and triggered the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. Rebuilding has yet to fully begin in many coastal communities. Wednesday's temblors were considered aftershocks of last year's massive quake, Meteorological Agency official Akira Nagai told a news conference, warning residents to stay away from buildings already damaged by it and the thousands of aftershocks since. A ASSOCIATED PRESS Local residents flee to a public hall for taking shelter, after a tsunami warning was issued following an earthquake in Ofutau, Iwate prefecture, northeastern Japan, Wednesday. A series of earthquakes rattled Tokyo and northeast Japan late Wednesday evening but caused no apparent damage or injury in the same region hit by last year's devastating tsunami. ASIA Death toll rises as rescuers recover more bodies from capsized ferry DHAKA, Bangladesh --- Rescue workers found more bodies Wednesday inside the salvaged wreckage of a Bangladesh ferry that capsized with about 200 people on board, bringing the death toll to 112. The ferry collided with a cargo boat and sank early Tuesday, sending scores of people into the Meghna River, just south of Dhaka. Local police chief Mohammad Shahabuddin Khan said about 35 survivors were plucked from the water, while local media reported that another 40 managed to swim to shore. Hundreds of anxious people, many of them weeping, gathered near the scene of the accident to look for their loved ones. Some were angry, saying they blamed local authorities for the slow pace of the rescue operation. Parul, who goes by one name, said she had been waiting at the shore since Tuesday night for news of her newly married brother, who was returning on the ferry with 16 others from his wedding party. She said only four of the 17 had apparently survived. Two bodies had been recovered, but the bridegroom and others were still missing. Rescue workers and divers called off the search late Wednesday after raising the wreckage, but police planned to stay in the area. The death toll climbed to 112 late Wednesday after villagers and rescuers found more bodies inside the ferry and floating in the water, said rescue official Mahfuzul Haque. Divers had recovered 31 bodies Tuesday, and efforts to move the ferry had shaken more loose. AFRICA Radical Nigerian sect kills seven in attacks MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Suspected members of the Boko Haram radical Islamist sect have killed seven people in two separate attacks in Nigeria's north, authorities said Tuesday. Adamawa State police spokesman Daniel Altine said attackers shot dead a policeman, a soldier and three bystanders Monday evening at a checkpoint in the town of Mubi. The attackers may have been avenging the army's killing of six suspected Boko Haram members at a training camp in the town on Monday. Altine said. Meanwhile, army spokesman Lt. Ikedichi Iweha said suspected sect members shot dead two more policemen in the major northern city of Kano on Tuesday. He said soldiers killed one of the assailants during the attack. Boko Haram has been accused of killing more than 340 people in Nigeria this year alone. The group has engaged in an increasingly bloody campaign to destabilize Nigeria's weak central government.

Carney was stunned into silence, Auerbach laughed. For the boyhood friends from Akron, Ohio, it was a surreal punctuation point to a decade-long rise out of Midwestern obscurity into an international arena act. MCGLATCHY TRIBUNE "Colbert was telling us beforehand just to be ourselves," Auerbach said. "Don't try to be funny. You'll never be funnier than my character." But it was still pretty overwhelming. Pat was so nervous he couldn't even speak. Our first on-air TV interview was Colbert — that's just not fair, really." If not quite a "rocketship to the moon," the Black Keys' career has certainly hit a new gear in recent years. Carney and Auerbach were packing large clubs and small theaters even before they had a song in regular rotation on commercial radio. After their single "Tighten Up" broke through in 2010, they've doubled their touring audience and are headlinering arenas in America for the first time. Auerbach isn't apologizing for graduating from the clubs into a realm where some of the band's original fans might have trouble recognizing them. "We were so far removed from the music and entertainment industry." Auerbach said. "The idea of making something 'catchy' enough was just not in our vocabulary. We were just trying When he and Carney started playing music together, they had no aspirations to get popular enough to ever play an arena, let alone get played on commercial radio.

On the band's seventh and latest studio album, Auerbach and Carney tightened their relationship with Burton, bringing the producer into the songwriting process. It was a major departure for the duo, who had previously kept the songwriting completely in-house. "Before 'Brothers' we were playing to 15,000 people in New York City, wed built ourselves up as big as you could without having a radio hit", Auerbach said. "So the next logical step was to push ourselves to see if we could write a catchy song, and we did. And we did it without compromising." For their 2010 album, "Brothers," their attitude changed, in large part due to the influence of producer Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, with whom they recorded their breakthrough hit, "Tighten Up." $490-$510 $590-$620 $590-$620 $730-$750 $730-$750 $900-$950 $800 WALL PETS | PATID/BRLCOMY IPool | WALK IN CLOSTETS | BUSROUTE HOLIDAY APARTMENTS "It was difficult at times," Auerbach said. "Some days it worked great. Some days it was just infuriating. You gotta lose any kind of insecurity. It was a totally different way of thinking for me. This record was way more about melody and less about lyrical content. The lyrics had to fit into the little square we created for the melody. We didn't want to take a year making it, so I was coming up with lyrics that fit into the melody and doing it fast. For 'Brothers' (the band's previous album), all the lyrics were written ahead of time.

"I felt it wasn't intended for me, it wasn't my business," Michael Reinhart said of the message he received on his work computer shortly after Sheridan filed her 2010 wrongful termination suit against the show's creator, Marc Cherry, and Touchstone Television Productions. "Under the law, (battery) is worth $1," Baute said. Reinhart said he deleted the message immediately, but was troubled by its content and contacted a lawyer for Sheridan as her trial nailed its end. The witness, a construction coordinator responsible for building the show's Wisteria Lane sets, said he had been copied accidentally on an email that discussed wiping computer hard drives clean of information about actress Nicolelle Sheridan. "I was trying to bring the truth out," he said. Jurors had been scheduled to hear closing arguments and Reinhart's testimony sent a ripple of excitement through the packed courtroom. A defense lawyer argued strenuously against allowing him to take the stand, telling the judge what Reinhart saw was likely a memorandum ordering employees to preserve all their electronic records for the case, not to destroy them. Superior Court Judge Elizabeth White said it was up to the jury to decide the significance of Reinhart's testimony, but said outside the presence of jurors. "I admit he appears to be confused." On cross-examination, defense lawyer Adam Levin asked, "Is it possible you misunderstood the email?" "Yes, it's possible." Reinhart replied, saying he could not remember the specific language of the message. He also testified that Sheridan's lead attorney, Mark Baute, had promised to find him work after he voiced concerns that he was committing "professional suicide" by testifying against his employers. Both sides said they would forensic examiners to look at Reinhart's hard drive, but the judge said she wanted to keep the case on schedule and hoped jurors would begin deliberations Tuesday or Wednesday. "He said, 'What if I get you a job if you testfv?' he said. Outside the courtroom, Baute disputed that testimony, saying he never made such a comment. When the jury does get the case, it will have one less issue to decide. The judge threw out Sheridan's battery claim saying there was not enough evidence to support it. Outside court, Sheridan's lawyer downplayed the development. Jurors must still decide whether Cherry's decision to kill off Sheridan's character, Edie Britt, was retaliation for an on-set incident in which she accused him of striking her in the head.

Abortion bill contradicts medical ethics This week, I'm stepping outside my world as a dating columnist and am writing on something that literally hits close to home: a new bill that not only jeopardizes the University's Medical Center Obstetrician/Gynecology accreditation but also every Kansas woman. LEGISLATION March 8 marked International Women's Day. But legislators in Arizona and Kansas weren't celebrating. On March 7, Arizona legislators passed a bill that allows doctors to not inform women about prenatal issues — if omitting that information means preventing an abortion Basketball team just pulled the fire alarm at the towers ... suspect number one: Merv. Abortion debate aside, if this legislation doesn't disturb you, it should. What's worse is that the bill has gone on tour, and it came to Kansas. The bill protects Arizona doctors from lawsuits stemming from those decisions. If you think guys are going to take a male contraceptive, you clearly don't know guys very well. Kansas legislators were supposed to meet last week to further discuss the issue, but it was postponed so that legislators could review the University's Medical Center OB-GYN accreditation and instead discussed primarily alcohol-related bills, including one to legalize wine tasting events in the state. Right now in Kansas, there is a proposed bill that would raise taxes on abortions for women, even if those abortions are a result of rape, sexual assault, or an ectopic pregnancy. What's disturbing about it is that this bill also follows suit with what's happening in Arizona. In Kansas, doctors would not be required to give women necessary and correct information for the sake of what they think will save a life. The irony of it, though, is that it can often end two. If the bill passes, doctors in Kansas would be able to dodge being sued, like those in Arizona. By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com and lawsuits could only be filed against them if the woman dies. Talk about too little, too late. What's more is that the bill in Kansas would require doctors to tell women that abortions definitely cause (rather than are associated with or linked to) breast cancer. While one cannot generalize, this bill exposes pro-life advocates such as supporters in Arizona and Kansas as laying waste to good medical practice to make room for their own anti-abortion agenda. However, according to the National Cancer Institute, not only has a history of abortion not shown to cause breast cancer, but neither induced abortion nor miscarriage increase a woman's chances of developing such cancer to begin with. This issue goes beyond the question of whether women should or shouldn't have reproductive rights. They're laying waste to common sense, and it's the ultimate hypocrisy for a group whose entire purpose is built on the foundation that life is sacred but also a large percentage of the political party that demands less government. The worst part of this is not the taxation issue. Taxation is a matter of debate. Economic recovery is a matter of debate. Foreign policy is a matter of debate. having to combat hypocritical issues from the pro-life agenda makes for a dangerous and terrifying situation for half of the population. The part of the population, Gov. Sam Brownback (who said he would sign the new bill) should know, that enables healthy babies to enter the world in the first place. It is illogical to jeopardize the very people having children whom prolifers can't get enough of. Finally, this issue is dangerous because it shows that before Brownback and other bill supporters learned to use common sense, they learned how to win an election. Brownback is a bully to women, and this move is a shameful blemish on his career from which he may never recover. Ethical medical practice is not. With women already scrambling to keep birth control rights under a potential and looming Republican administration, simultaneously Pro-life means pro-life, and Brownback should be embarrassed of his distinction between the two.

Try reading to relieve stress With the excitement of spring break quickly approaching, there also comes the inevitable pile of assignments, projects and midterm study guides crammed in just before a full week of relaxation. And if you're like me, sometimes the stress can push you to the edge. Many of us have our go-to stress relievers. Maybe you prefer to jog through the pain on a treadmill, take a nap, or eat a tasty snack. Well, I'd like to propose a stress reliever you probably haven't considered: reading. Yes, reading. You might be saying to yourself, "After I get through a half-semester's worth of biology chapters, the last thing I want to do is read another damn book." By Joshua Moreland jmoreland@kansan.com Hopefully, I can convince you otherwise. Here are my top five reasons you should start reading books outside of your classes. 5. READING CAN RELIEVE STRESS. As I mentioned, reading is one of the best stress relievers out there. It slows your whole world down, relaxes your mind and body, and makes you forget what ever it is you are stressing about. Just brew a cup of your favorite coffee, grab a book, curl up next to a window, and feel all your troubles melt away. 4. READING GIVES YOU SOME CULTURE Just by making the decision to pursue a college education, you've already exposed yourself to a wide new variety of cultures and ideas, whether they're social, political, religious, etc. Books can provide the same effect on a more universal scale. I literally had no insight into African culture until I read "Things Fall Apart," by Chinua Achebe, in high school.

READING MAKES YOU SMARTER. Like solving a Sudoku puzzle or trying to keep up with Watson on "Jeopardy!", reading can help fine-tune your brain. It will expand your vocabulary, increase your analytical skills, and improve your memory. If you are into nonfiction, you will also simultaneously gain real-world knowledge. If you prefer fiction, as I do, you can learn much about the human condition from a well-written story. Plus, it's always fun to share knowledge with friends and family. Some of the best and deepest conversations are born out of ideas produced in great novels. people have read (and probably re-read) a book or series in which they felt involved or invested in the setting and characters' lives. For our generation, Harry Potter captured the imagination of millions of children and young adults. Personally, I credit J.K. Rowling for sparking my interest in literature, as many others do. So, if you ever wonder whether or not you should really dust off your copy of "The Sorcerer's Stone" for the third time, just remember that sometimes it's good to just get away for a while. 2. READING CAN TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER PLACE. Remember those motivational posters from the walls of your elementary school library, with smiling children riding rainbows like magic carpets into the sky from the high of reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" for the first time? Well, a good story can actually take your mind to another place. Fantasy novels do a particularly good job of this. But regardless of the genre, most 1. READING COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I cannot stress this enough: reading can change your life. I think books are the best medium for sharing thoughtful and complex ideas about life. Sometimes, a particular book can affirm how you already feel. If you have trouble articulating your ideas and feelings from time to time, a book can express them for you. There have been many times where I've been reading and thought, "This author just gets me!" or "Wow, I've never thought that before." After I read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" for the first time, I remember feeling like my whole world view changed, because it was such an original and profound philosophical novel. Other books, like Jack Kerouac's "On the Road," will grab you by the figurative shoulders and shake you into living life how it should be lived — fun and fast. So, I implore you to make a list of books that sound interesting to you and start reading. You never know when you'll find that story that stays with you forever.

I've tried telling them to clean up but they don't." Why won't they clean up, and why do I feel the need to clean up after them?" Based on the fact that they cook consistently, they are likely reinforced by one or many aspects of cooking and therefore continue to do it. We all know cleaning dishes isn't fun and is typically maintained by negative reinforcement. By this I mean that we engage in cleaning (behavior) so we don't have smelly pots stinking and crowding the kitchen (unpleasant consequence). It likely makes cooking more fun and reinforcing if they don't have to worry about cleaning up until that kitchen starts to smell like a war zone. Ironically, you likely clean up for your roommates so as to remove the annoying presence of the dirty dishes which is also negative reinforcement for you. Also, because you aren't taking part in the cooking, you are removed from the behavioral processes that maintain your roommates' process of cooking, waiting, cleaning, cooking. This might make it even more annoying for you to see the dishes not done and therefore strengthens the reinforcer of cleaning the dishes yourself. The Matching Law in Behavioral Analysis states that we behave based on the rate of reinforcement available for that behavior. To make a long story short, you need to make your roommates effort of cleaning the dishes worth it to them. Maybe try joining them with cooking with the caveat that you all need to do the dishes afterwards. Or maybe ask them right after they complete the dishes and give them praise or offer to buy a beer sometime. Making it a more enjoyable experience for them may sufficiently reinforce for them to take the extra step and do the dishes and over time this, too, can become a pattern for them. The first consideration if your friend is engaging in this behavior is that there are strong genetic links to alcoholism. Actual chromosomes have even been targeted by researchers as links to susceptibility to alcoholism. Assuming that your friend doesn't have a genetic predisposition she is likely engaging in delay discounting. Discounting is when we choose smaller, sooner, rewards over larger, later, ones. All humans discount, but in excess it is correlated with drug, opioid, and alcohol abuse. Whether we do drugs because we discount, or whether we do drugs while discounting is still debated. First off, alcohol and drug related behavior is typically quite complex and difficult to explain from a distance, even by experts. There is, however growing research on the topic and ways we can help friends or family. So what does this mean for your friend? Your friend probably knows that she engages in behavior that isn't good for her, but when the weekend approaches the short term reward is just too powerful. You need to find her alternative reinforcers that can substitute for the drinking behavior she engages in. Researchers have shown that getting drug abusers into alternative recreational activities can help them abstain from drug use. Try and get your friend to go to activities or events where alcohol isn't served. Also, try and focus on reinforcing her in any way you can think when she waits for longer rewards instead of being impulsive. "One of my good friends is intelligent and very talented, but almost every weekend she gets blackout drunk and doesn't remember doing some very dangerous or irresponsible things. Afterward, I tell her about this and she seems to regret it. Yet the next weekend she is back at it. Why does my friend do this?" Sons is a senior in applied behavioral science from Pittsburgh, Penn.

On Selection Sunday, ESPN ran a graphic about the Kansas men's basketball This year Kansas drew a feisty Detroit Titans team that some analysts, such as Dick Vitale, thought were better than the 15 seed they received. Many analysts have noted that Detroit has more McDonald's All-Americans on their roster than Kansas (Detroit has one in a sophomore guard Ray McCallum Jr.). In their Big 12 tournament loss to Baylor last week, the Kansas shooters once again went cold, hitting just two of 13 three-pointers. In the tournament loss to Virginia Commonwealth last season, Kansas shooters went cold, hit ting just two of 21 three-pointers. But when looking at the statistics, it is clear that Kansas will not be the first No. 2 seed to lose to a 15 seed since Iowa State lost to Hampton in 2001. And in the Maui Invitational final, Kansas only made two three-point shots, but that number can't be taken at face value because the Jayhawks only took eight three-point shots all game. Detroit's defense won't be nearly as solid against the three. They allow opponents to make 36.8 percent of their three-point shots. Kansas' offense is 11th in the nation in field goal percentage, making 48.5 percent of their shots. Another similarity in the VCU and Baylor losses was the alarmingly high amount of three-point shots the two teams made, with VCU making 48 percent and Baylor making 4.4 percent. Detroit won't rely on the three-point shot nearly as much. They shoot only 30.2 percent from three-point range and of all the field goals they make, only 18.3 percent are three-point goal goals. Of all the field goals VCU made against Kansas, 57.1 percent of them came from three-point field goals. Duke had exactly 50 percent of their made field goals come from beyond the arc, also dangerously high. Baylor's percentage of field goals from three-point range was less than VCU, but at 37.5 percent, but it is still significantly higher than Detroit's season average. Without much depth, the Jayhawks could fall, should one of their starters get into early foul trouble, specifically frontcourt stars Thomas Robinson and Withey. Detroit is a better free throw shooting team, making 73.4 percent, while Kansas shoots a mediocre 69.6 percent from the line, but Detroit knows how to get to the line. They average 24.1 free throw attempts per game. In Kansas' loss to Kentucky at Madison Square Garden, the Jayhawks allowed the Wildcats to shoot 51 percent from the field. But while Detroit is an above average shooting team, it shot 45.4 percent from the field, even with Ray McCallum Jr., it lacks the athleticism that Kentucky has that gave Kansas trouble early on. All these numbers point to a Kansas advantage come Friday night, but as with any first-round matchup (I refuse to call this the second round), the biggest difference is in RPI, with Kansas coming in at six compared to Detroit's 128. The RPI is the best indicator that one team is better than the other, and on Friday night that difference should be evident. Edited by Nadia Imafidon Vermont ends Lamar's journey, 71-59 NCAA TOURNAMENT ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTON, Ohio - Seven games ago, Pat Knight ripped his seniors. After a bitter 71-59 loss to Vermont in the first round of the NCAA tournament Wednesday night, however, the first-year Lamar coach could barely contain his emotions of pride and gratitude toward the very same players. "These guys did a heck of a job of leaving their legacy," Knight said, fighting back tears. "I don't know. If there are people that disagree about that, they're morons. These guys just made Lamar relevant again. And it gives us something to build on from here on out, and it puts pressure on the team next year to get something done." After a 10-point loss to Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 22, Knight famously said his seniors were "stealing money being on scholarship." It didn't stop there. He also called it the worst group of seniors hed ever been around and added that his players had problems "off the court, on the court, classroom, The diatribe became a YouTube standard, with some calling it the best post-game meltdown ever by a college coach. drugs." Yet the Cardinals (23-12) responded with six straight wins, including winning the Southland Conference tournament. But a cold-shooting night couldn't get them out of an early hole against Vermont (24-11), which advances to meet top-seeded North Carolina in the next round. "These guys did something this year a lot of college athletes don't ever get to experience," said Knight, in his first year with the Cardinals after being fired by Texas Tech. "They're down right now. Losing hurts. But what a ride. These guys were a blast to coach all year long. It was fun. I enjoyed it and I'm going to miss them. Boy, I'll be talking about them until the day I die." KANSAN COUPONS Devon Lamb and Mike James each had 16 points and Anthony Miles 14 for the Cardinals, who were on the wrong side of a 13-0 run by Vermont in the first half that gave the Catamounts the lead to stay.

On March 7, Chalmers went just 1 of 5 from the field, missing both three-point attempts. The only thing he had going for him in his 25 minutes of playing time was his 3-3 showing from the free throw line. On Saturday it was another medicine performance from the sharp shooter, who finished having played just 26 minutes scattered throughout the game. The Heat would go on to win 93-91 in overtime, but Chalmers recorded just five points, with one made three and zero assists. Upcoming games: Today at Philadelphia, March 9 vs. Portland, March 11 at LA Lakers, March 12 at LA Clippers, March 14 at Golden State Warriors. Markieff Morris, at KU 2008-2011 Forward, Phoenix Suns ASSOCIATED PRESS Morris has been in a bit of a downward slide as of late. He has not been playing at the same level that he once was at the start of the season. On Saturday, Morris played just three minutes, missing all the attempts and not playing much a factor defensively. He got 20 minutes of playing time on Monday, but only put up four points, missing all three attempts from beyond the arc and only shooting 2-8 from the field. Upcoming games: March 14 vs. Jazz, March 15 at LA Clippers, March 16 vs. Pistons, March 18 vs. Rockets, March 20 at Miami HAWKS 6 Kirk Hinrich, at KU 1999-2003 Guard, Atlanta Hawks. ASSOCIATED PRESS Hinrich spent this week seeing time as both a starter and a bench player. On March 9 he put in 17 quality minutes against the Pistons in a 85-86 loss. He posted nine points (3 of 5) with one three, and just one assist and one steal, but he did not turn the ball over once. On Sunday he played a season-high 42 minutes, scoring 12 points (5 of 10) and tallying two threes, four assists, three rebounds, and two steals. His name is also being mentioned in trade rumors, but as is the case nearly every year. Upcoming games: March 14 at LA Clippers, March 16 vs. Wizards, March 18 at Cleveland, March 19 vs. Celtics, March 21 vs. Cavaliers Brandon Rush, at KU 2005-2008 Guard, Golden State Warriors ASSOCIATED PRESS On March 7, Rush posted 11 points (5 of 10) in 32 minutes of playing time. He also had six rebounds, two assists, and one three-pointer in 92-110 loss to Memphis. He hasn't done much else since that game, having posted two points in 25 minutes in a victory over Dallas, with five rebounds, two assists, and shot 0-4 from beyond the arc. The next day he followed up with just five points (one three-pointer) in 22 minutes against the Clippers. Upcoming games: Today vs. Phoenix, March 9 vs. Cleveland, March 10 vs. Charlotte, March 13 vs. Houston, March 15 at Denver. Drew Gooden, at KU 2000-2002 Center-forward, Milwaukee Bucks ASSOCIATED PRESS Gooden had a pretty solid week. A week ago he posted a season-high 27 points (16 in the first quarter) in a 106-104 loss to the Bulls. He shot 11-21 from the field, hit two threes and brought down six rebounds in 37 minutes of playing time. Monday, Gooden had another quality outing with 23 points (11 of 19) with eight rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a three-pointer. He has been playing a lot of minutes as of late, making his presence known. Upcoming games: March 14 vs. Cavaliers, March 16 at Golden State, March 20 at Portland, March 22 vs. Celtics, March 23 at Charlotte.

I truly have enjoyed being your quarterback." PAGE 9 Peyton Manning addressing Colts fans in his farewell speech. FACT FACT OF THE DAY Manning has thrown for more than 50,000 yards, almost 400 touchdowns, has been selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times, and has been a Super Bowl MVP. --- espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many seasons did Peyton Manning play for the Colts? A:14 --- espn.com THE MORNING BREW A letter to Manning from Chiefs fans Dear Mr. Peyton Manning, First off, I'd like to congratulate you on an amazing career in Indianapolis. You are a wonderful person. Indianapolis. You were the face of the franchise and single-handedly built the team into what it is today. Without you, who knows where the Colts would be. By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com But those days are over, and you've begun the search for a new team. Look, I know there are 31 teams out there that are salvating at the thought of signing you, and I know there are rumors that you have recently declined a visit to Kansas City, but I refuse to believe the rumors until you stand behind the podium, put on the hat, and announce your decision in a press conference. Last time I fell for a rumor, I went to bed thinking that ace pitcher Cliff Lee had signed with the Yankees and that he and his wife were looking for houses in New York. I woke up the next morning to find that he took less money to sign with the Phillies. The media certainly missed that one, and since then, I refuse to believe reports until they are official. So just hear me out, Peyton, because you'd be making a huge mistake by not signing with the Chiefs. For starters, there's not much to dislike about Kansas City. It's in the heart of America, and has some of the nicest people and most passionate fans, and not to mention the best barbeque. You won't find that "homey" feeling anywhere in Arizona, Denver, or Miami, which is why Kansas City is the perfect place for you and for your kids to grow up in. If you're looking for some good shopping with the family, our very own Country Club Plaza will give you just that, while providing stunning scenery with an abundance of fountains and statues. Then, of course, there's the place where you will be playing. Every time you run out of the tunnel at Arrowhead, you'll be stepping onto the field of one of the loudest stadiums in the nation, surrounded by 76,000 fans in a sea of red. Then there's the team you'd be playing with. Look at what we were able to do without the best running back in the game, Imaaal Charles, our starting quarterback Matt Cassel and our young tight end Tony Moeaki; we came up one game short of the playoffs. Add them back into the mix, along with our great line of receivers led by Pro-Bowler Dwayne Bowe, and you have some pretty good targets to throw to. KU Peyton, just look at how the Colts did without you as their quarterback last season. One year you take them to the Super Bowl finishing at 14-2, and two years later they finish last in the league at 2-14. Just imagine what you could do with this team in Kansas City, the things you could accomplish. Not to mention the fact that you would look really sharp wearing red and gold. The way I see it, there's no reason why you shouldn't want to sign with Kansas City. Without you, we are a pretty good team, but with you, we are immediate contenders. I'm not going to force you into this, I'm just saying you should highly consider it. We really want you here.

It's no secret that the University is a men's basketball school. The incredible consistency of success is almost unheard of. By C.J. Matson cjmatson@kansan.com NCAA HISTORY See how Bill Self has done in his tenure at Kansas PAGE 7 READY TO TAKE DETROIT Kansan sports writer favors Kansas in Friday matchup PAGE 6 Jayhawk fans follow the team 365 days a year and are known as one of the most passionate fan bases. I'll admit I was stunned beyond belief that the NCAA Women's Tournament Selection Committee selected the Jayhawks. If I was a gambler, I would have bet against the Jayhawks' chances of reaching the NCAA Tournament. The team lost its star player, Carolyn Davis, and went on to lose six of eight games without her. The Jayhawks finished below .500 in the Big 12 and lost its first and only game in the Big 12 conference tournament, so the odds were not in their favor. They were shocked to hear the selection committee call their name. During March Madness, all eyes turn to the men's team, but for the first time in 12 years the women's basketball team enters the madness. Before this season, coach Bonnie Henrickson led the Jayhawks to five post-season appearances, but none in the NCAA Tournament. She raised the women's program from the ashes. Before she took over in 2004, Kansas had four consecutive losing seasons, which is unacceptable at a school such as Kansas. Despite the program's improvement, she found herself in the hot seat. Putting your team on the proverbial bubble just about every year and failing to clinch a spot in the Big Dance makes fans and the athletic director anxious about the program's future. People who follow the women's basketball team placed a de facto ultimatum on Henrickson this season. If the Jayhawks failed to advance to the NCAA Tournament this season, Henrickson should lose her job. Kansas can build off this. Say what you want about how the Jayhawks have performed since Davis's injury, but for them to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament after losing its star player is impressive and a testament to Henrickson. Kansas finally reached its goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament, but now it must strive for bigger goals and build for the future. Henrickson could and should be the coach to lead the Jayhawks. You could sense the excitement and relief from Henrickson and her team. The Jayhawks finally earned their moment of glory. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar SHOUT OUT HEARD NATIONWIDE MAX ROTHMAN mrothnan@kansan.com The Naitsmith Awards Board of Selectors chose Kansas among 80 entries and eight finalists as the winner of the Naitsmith Student section of the Year award on Wednesday. Kansas Athletics will receive a $5,000 cash award for a University general scholarship, which will be presented at a game at Allen Fieldhouse next season. "We have the best students and fans in the country, and we are thrilled to now have national confirmation of what we have always known, coach Bill Self said. Our student section starts prepping for games days before tip-off. They stand by our team the entire game, giving us an unbelievable home-court advantage." The sections were narrowed down on Facebook and chosen by student section names and attendance, photos, videos and a written nomination from each school. "We are thrilled that so many Division I basketball schools nominated their student section to be named the best fans in college basketball, and applaud Jayhawk fans for displaying such passion," said Eric Oberman, Executive Director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. "We look forward to adding another chapter of Kansas Basketball to our storied Naitsmith Awards family."

TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN KANSAS Outfielder Michael Suiter high-fives teammates after his big home run in the fifth inning. Suiter's sister brought the Jayhawks back into the game, being down only one run at the end of the fifth inning. BASEBALL Defense players key in journey to Classic The Kansas baseball team (8-7) heads to San Antonio, Texas, for the second time this season, competing in the Irish Baseball Classic. ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com "Strike one," Morovick said. "Strike one and that's all I need." The Jayhawks are riding a two-game winning streak and take on Indiana State (12-4) Thursday at noon. Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick will look to bounce back from his disappointing outlast Wednesday against North Dakota. Morovick lasted just 2.1 innings and surrendered five runs and walked three in Kansas' 12-9 loss to the Fighting Sioux. Morovick is 1-0 with a 9.00 ERA, and his approach heading into Thursday's game has not changed. Morovick and the Jayhawks face an Indiana State team that is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Sycamore's 8.7 runs a game leads the Missouri Valley Conference, and Thursday's starter Dakota Bacus is 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. Coach Ritch Price says that Morovick's competitive nature will be crucial in the freshman's rebound start. "When you have a bad outing like that, and he's a highly competitive individual, he's looking for a chance to redeem himself," Price said. "I was really pleased with his performance in that first start, and I know him well enough to say that he wants this chance to redeem himself." A key aspect of the jayhawks' success in the nonconference has been the near-flawless defensive. The Kansas defense ranks ninth nationally with a .983 field percentage, and out of the 58 runs allowed this year, just three are unearned. The strong defensive play enables the pitching staff to attack the strike zone more effectively, but the middle infielders' performance has taken the defense to an elite level. "I thought we had a chance to be good defensively, and it all starts with the kid at shortstop," Price said. "Kevin Kuntz along with the second baseman Eldredge have played exceptional on defense, and anytime you're solid up the middle like that, you are going to have a great defensive team." The defense even stepped up to the challenge of playing at the MSFC Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn., last week. While the white roof and indoor lighting could cause many college fielders to lose sight of the ball, Kansas handled to new element well. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay said that his pritor experience in indoor venues helped make a difference. "About a year ago, I had the chance to play down in Florida Edited by Pat Strathman at Tropicana Field," Mckay said. "So I had been in a domed field before, and I liked it. The field was nice and the lighting wasn't too bad." Offensively, the Jayhawks are showing more signs of improvement. Sophomore second baseman Ka'iana Eldredge led the Jayhawks in Big 12 batting average last season, hitting .356 in the final month of the year. However, he is off to another slow start with a batting average of .190. Eldredge recorded a multi-hit game against Minnesota, and Price is optimistic that the sophomore can find his swing heading into Thursday's game. "For us to be good, he has to be productive," Price said. "He's been a good hitter as by his First Team All-Big 12 Conference selection as a freshman a year ago, so we need him to keep making progress." WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Former teammates send their support "They have had an awesome year," Jacobs said. "Every year for me we would be the team that was always on the bubble and Monday would come and we wouldn't make it. So I was so happy to see that." Sade Morris sat in front of her television and nervously watched the Selection Show, Morris, a 2010 graduate of the Kansas Women's basketball team, remembers the time when she was in that room waiting for a post-season dream to come true. It didn't happen her year, but she proudly watched as her alma mater was announced as an 11 seed in the Des Moines region. Jacobs and 2010 graduate Porscha Weddington keep in touch almost daily and they connected after the announcement. Jacobs said Weddington has been trying to get her back to Lawrence for an alumni weekend and this announcement made it seem more urgent. Morris jumped and screamed, called her dad and hopped on Twitter to send congratulatory messages to the current players. LaChelda Jacobs, a 2010 graduate, wasn't watching, but found out through a tweet from fellow 2010 graduate Kelly Kohn. She grabbed her phone and sent coach Bonnie Henrickson a text. "It felt amazing because we worked so hard for that and we built the program and we have been waiting for the outcome," Morris said. "To see our name pop up on the screen was just relieving." Jacobs said the memories of her playing days came rushing back when she thought of the struggles the team has faced this year. It has been 12 seasons since Kansas made the tournament, so this experience is uniting the alumni who still describe the team as "we" and started planning reunions by catching up through texts and tweets over the last several days. KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Weddington is finishing up graduate school at Kansas and has been They were also entertained with the assignment to play Nebraska, a former Big 12 foe, in the game. Weddington talked about how assistant coach Tory Verdi coached at Nebraska for five years before coming to Kansas. Jacobs talked about the recent records like splitting the series last year and described the game as doable. Morris turned to strategy outlining the familiarity of the coaching staff and players. All three players said they would tune in on Sunday night to watch the game. They will continue planning a reunion and cheering for the current team who carries the legacy of their program. able to stay close to the program. She contacted senior forward Aishah Sutherland and congratulated her on going to the tournament in her final year at Kansas. "I was just excited because they worked so hard and they have been able to deal with adversity with Carolyn being hurt and she has been really positive," Weddington said. "I was really excited because I know the hard work and dedication that the coaching staff and the players have put in." "It proves to everyone that Bonnie is a great coach," Morris said. "She came here to turn the program around and that's what she's doing." This marks the first tournament appearance in Henrickson's eight years as coach. She faced criticism in the past for the teams not being noticed in the post-season, despite numerous injuries to key players and a WNIT Championship game appearance. Morris said this game shows Henrickson's potential. From the early excitement of the tournament selection to the return of a series that has been played every season since 1974-75, these proud alumni are still cheering for their younger layhawk counterparts. "It is definitely a doable game and I see them advancing on to the second round so I definitely have my fingers crossed," Jacobs said.

Warnings told students to exercise caution and remain aware of sexual assaults. The city of Lawrence, University officials and the Kansas Attorney General issued the warnings after the attorney general announced in March 2009 that six Lawrence rapes, seven Manhattan rapes and an attempted rape in Manhattan may be related, with the last known rape occurring in Lawrence in December 2008. /KANSAN faulkner, ully self- ve her The last warning issued to students about sexual assault was before the University's spring break last year. Captain Paul Fellers of the Lawrence police department said the Edited by Bre Roach The rapist is known to stalk his victims and is described as a white male between the age of 25 and 40. He is said to be between 5-foot-9 and six-feet tall and between 160 to 175 pounds. He covered his face during many of the attacks and had some sort of weapon at some of the attacks. "A lot of times I will call a friend when I walk alone, and I always lock all my doors," Tran said. "My parents have always taught me safety but being alone on campus and at home has definitely made me more aware of my surroundings." No public suspects have been during break periods but at all times of the year. "Sexual assault is very serious. It can and does happen at many different times during the year," Fellers said. "We do want people to be aware, but we don't want people to let their guard down just because spring break is over." The first known rape occurred during the fall of 2000 in Manhattan, and the first attack in Lawrence was July 2004. All of the victims in Lawrence were University students at the time of the attacks. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center cautions students to trust their instincts and to always alert someone if they are uncomfortable, even a building manager.

This means, in essence, I am struggling to find words to formulate words in sentences to talk about someone else's words to place in a poem consisting of many words. This isn't a hypothetical situation. I spent the majority of freshman year analyzing Lauryn Hill's entire acoustic album, averaging about three hours of sleep per night, and using her as inspiration to start writing spoken word poetry. So maybe you wouldn't say I am a geek, but I assure you calling a poet is an oversimplification of this tragic word addiction. I will trade valuable hours of sleep to research topics of intrigue to write poetry...for fun. Or even sometimes just to build on my fundamentals as a poet. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I went through a phase where I did intensive research on the life of Eminem for a good month or so because I wanted to know which parts of his childhood contributed to the genius combination of words he uses. Yes, I mean genius, because if you ever cared to take a look (or 500) at his work like I did and cross analyze it with a few of his bios, you'd be impressed with how seamlessly he rhymes words you'd never see coming as he exposes his more than jaded life to people all over the world. He's not afraid. It's inspiring (or bat-shit crazy). But also a very good use of words. Not convinced I'm a word geek yet? A couple weeks ago I found out my phone wouldn't stop restarting every time someone sent me a text because I had more than 4,000 texts saved in my phone. I was not quite ready to part with those words. Some might say, I hoard words. The first step to recovery is admitting I have a problem.

From the early excitement of the tournament selection to the return of a series that has been played every season since 1974-75, these proud alumni are still cheering for their younger Jayhawk counterparts. "It is definitely a doable game and I see them advancing on to the second round so I definitely have my fingers crossed," Jacobs said. — Edited by Amanda Gage Volume 124 Issue 119 kansan.com Friday, March 16, 2012 AEROSHOT PURE ENERGY The caffeine fix of the future page 6 Don't let spring break max out your credit card Check out how to manage your vacation money page 6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK TABLE OF CONTENTS --- 904 4 LOVE: HOOKUP Spring break is so close you can taste it.

He covered his face during many of the attacks and had some sort of weapon at some of the attacks. "Sexual assault is very serious.

The parties, the drinking, the bikinis, the sex. While some of you may return sunburned and dehydrated, many will return with other reminders of the sun-filled, liquor haze of spring break: an unwanted pregnancy, STI, the guilt of infidelity, a visit to jail, or as a victim or perpetrator of sexual assault. I'm not going to waste this column on lecturing you about how to avoid these situations, because I know you will only think to yourself, "Oh, Michelle, I know how to protect myself.

"I got plastered and entered a wet t-shirt contest. The rest is a blur. I woke the next morning completely naked on the floor of the condo. According to eye witness accounts, I won the wet t-shirt contest by stripping totally naked at the bar. I then managed to lose my clothes. To make matters worse, the only other girl on vacation with me decided to go stay with other friends for the night, so I was escorted home—completely naked—by my boyfriend and the two guys staying with us. Naked going out of the bar, naked into a cab, and out again, naked walking from the street to the condo and falling asleep on the condo floor, face up, naked. My boyfriend initially denied, but later admitted that the guys decided to keep me uncovered and enjoy the view as long as they could." -JESSICA_19 OF COLLEGE.

If the Jayhawks failed to advance to the NCAA Tournament this season, Henrickson should lose her job. Kansas can build off this. Say what you want about how the Jayhawks have performed since Davis's injury, but for them to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament after losing its star player is impressive and a testament to Henrickson. Kansas finally reached its goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament, but now it must strive for bigger goals and build for the future. Henrickson could and should be the coach to lead the Jayhawks. You could sense the excitement and relief from Henrickson and her team. The Jayhawks finally earned their moment of glory. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar into thursday's game has not changed. "Strike one," Morovick said. "Strike one and that's all I need." "When you have a bad outing like that, and he's a highly competitive individual, he's looking for a chance to redeem himself." Price said. "I was really pleased with his performance in that first start, and I know him well enough to say that he wants this chance to redeem himself." Morovick and the Jawhaws face an Indiana State team that is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Sycamore's 8.7 runs a game leads the Missouri Valley Conference, and Thursday's starter Dakota Bacus is 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. Coach Ritch Price says that Morovick's competitive nature will be crucial in the freshman's rebound start. A key aspect of the Jayhawks' success in the nonconference has been the near-flawless defensive. The Kansas defense ranks ninth nationally with a .983 field percentage, and out of the 58 runs allowed this year, just three are being down only one run at the end of the fifth inning. unearned The strong defensive play enables the pitching staff to attack the strike zone more effectively, but the middle infielders' performance has taken the defense to an elite level. "I thought we had a chance to be good defensively, and it all starts with the kid at short-stop," Price said. "Kevin Kuntz along with the second baseman Eldredge have played exceptional on defense, and anytime you're solid up the middle like that, you are going to have a great defensive team." The defense even stepped up to the challenge of playing at the MSFC Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn., last week. While the white roof and indoor lighting could cause many college fielders to lose sight of the ball, Kansas handled to new element well. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay said that his prior experience in indoor venues helped make a difference. "About a year ago, I had the chance to play down in Florida Offensively, the Jayhawks are showing more signs of improvement. Sophomore second baseman Ka'iana Eldredge led the Jayhawks in Big 12 batting average last season, hitting .356 in the final month of the year. However, he is off to another slow start with a batting average of .190. Eldredge recorded a multi-hit game against Minnesota, and Price is optimistic that the sophomore can find his swing heading into Thursday's game. "For us to be good, he has to be productive," Price said. "He's been a good hitter as by his First Team All-Big 12 Conference selection as a freshman a year ago, so we need him to keep making progress." at Tropicana Field," Mckay said. "So I had been in a domed field before, and I liked it. The field was nice and the lighting wasn't too bad." "They have had an awesome year," Jacobs said. "Every year for me we would be the team that was always on the bubble and Monday would come and we wouldn't make it. So I was so happy to see that." Jacobs said the memories of her playing days came rushing back when she thought of the struggles the team has faced this year. Edited by Pat Strathman Jacobs and 2010 graduate Porscha Weddington keep in touch almost daily and they connected after the announcement. Jacobs said Weddington has been trying to get her back to Lawrence for an alumni weekend and this announcement made it seem more urgent. LaChelda Jacobs, a 2010 graduate, wasn't watching, but found out through a tweet from fellow 2010 graduate Kelly Kohn. She grabbed her phone and sent coach Bonnie Henrickson a text. It has been 12 seasons since Kansas made the tournament, so this experience is uniting the alumni who still describe the team as "we" and started planning reunions by catching up through texts and tweets over the last several days. Weddington is finishing up graduate school at Kansas and has been bonnie is a great coach, won't say. "She came here to turn the program around and that's what she's doing." All three players said they would tune in on Sunday night to watch the game. They will continue planning a reunion and cheering for the current team who carries the legacy of their program. They were also entertained with the assignment to play Nebraska, a former B12 ice foe, in the game. Weddington talked about how assistant coach Tory Verdi coached at Nebraska for five years before coming to Kansas. Jacobs talked about the recent records like splitting the series last year and described the game as doable. Morris turned to strategy outlining the familiarity of the coaching staff and players. From the early excitement of the tournament selection to the return of a series that has been played every season since 1974-75, these proud alumni are still cheering for their younger Jayhawk counterparts. "It is definitely a doable game and I see them advancing on to the second round so I definitely have my fingers crossed," Jacobs said.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Celebrity Dish: ROB RIGGLE // SASHA LUND PETER KINLEY Rob Riggle, who graduated from KU in 1992, has appeared in movies such as "The Hangover," "Step Brothers" and "The Other Guys." He also served as a correspondent for "The Daily Show" and as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" during the 2004-2005 season. He currently stars in "21 Jump Street", which opens in theaters on March 16, and "The Lorax", which is currently playing in theaters. YOU JUST VOICED A CHARACTER, O'HARE, IN "THE LORAX." HOW IS VOICING AN ANIMATED CHARACTER DIFFERENT FROM ACTING IN A MOVIE? Well, it's awesome in the sense that I can just roll out of bed, not shave, throw on a KU Jayhawks hat, flip-flops and go to the studio. There are no other actors I get to work with, so you do kind of miss that interaction. We had a good director though, and he did a good job in giving you direction. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO ASPIRING COMEDIANS/ACTORS TO BECOME AS SUCCESSFUL AS YOU HAVE BEEN? Perseverance. It's a long painful road. You know, if you think it's going to happen overnight, you're kidding yourself. It takes a long time. YOU HAVE DONE BOTH STAND-UP COMEDY AND FILM ACTIVITY. WHICH IS MORE FUN TO DO? It's like children. I love all my children. It's hard to say I like one more than the other. I love doing stand-up because it's me, the mic and the audience. I don't have to take notes, it's just me. It's fun to write. It's fun to perform. I love improv because of the spontaneity. I love sketch, film and TV. I kind of love them all. Lawrence is like one of the greatest college towns in America. Great people—the town is people. That makes it awesome. YOU WENT TO KU. WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE LIKE AT KU AND WHAT DID YOU LOVE ABOUT LAWRENCE? I loved my professors. I have such warm, happy memories of being a Jayhawk. I wouldn't trade it for anything. WHAT WAS THE FILMING LIKE ON "21 JUMP STREET?" It was really hot. We shot in New Orleans in the summertime. That got a little toasty down there, but it was such a cool experience. Any chance to work with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, take it, they were awesome. Channing was really funny - I hope he does more comedies. They're fantastic, funny, smart, great guys. We really enjoy each other's company. We hang out off-camera, and I think that translates to in front of the camera. DID YOU EXPECT "THE HANGOVER" TO BECOME SUCH A PHENOMON? No, that's what is strange.

Once teased and bullied, today's geeks are now rising up and taking over. Chances are, you might be one of them. // KELSEY CIPOLLA I've been a geek since birth. Growing up, I played with Luke Skywalker instead of Barbie and preferred Power Rangers to princesses. When I was 14 years old, my geekiness reached an unprecedented high after I discovered "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a show I loved so much the only way I could think to express my dedication was to buy action figures of my favorite characters and display them on my dresser. Shockingly, being a high-school girl with an action figure collection didn't make me many friends. Some people simply accepted my action figure display, but others had no problem pointing out what I had always known but have sometimes felt too ashamed to admit — I'm a geek. But is that a bad thing? Today, 57 percent of Americans think being called a geek is a compliment and a whopping 82 percent of people think being a geek is more acceptable today then it was 15 years ago. So what's changed? The most current generation of geeks are reacting to other counter-cultural groups that have emerged in society, especially the yuppies of the 1980s, who wanted wealth and status. Then in the mid-1990s, the geeks started to gain power, emphasizing the value of personal enjoyment and rejecting the showiness of material culture, says Lars Konzack, an associate professor at The Royal School of Library and Information Science in Aalborg, Denmark, who has studied the humble roots and slow evolution of the geek movement. Their rise coincided with the birth of new technology, which made it easier to access geeky materials and interact with other fans while also allowing the community to generate its own material, like fanfiction and the fantasy worlds that would eventually develop into online game play.

Warnings told students to exercise caution and remain aware of sexual assaults. The city of Lawrence, University officials and the Kansas Attorney General issued the warnings after the attorney general announced in March 2009 that six Lawrence rapes, seven Manhattan rapes and an attempted rape in Manhattan may be related, with the last known rape occurring in Lawrence in December 2008. --- The last warning issued to students about sexual assault was before the University's spring break last year. Captain Paul Fellers of the Lawrence police department said the during break periods but at all times of the year. "Sexual assault is very serious. It can and does happen at many different times during the year," Fellers said. "We do want people to be aware, but we don't want people to let their guard down just because spring break is over." The rapist is known to stalk his victims and is described as a white male between the age of 25 and 40. He is said to be between 5-foot-9 and six-feet tall and between 160 to 175 pounds. He covered his face during many of the attacks and had some sort of weapon at some of the attacks. The first known rape occurred during the fall of 2000 in Manhattan, and the first attack in Lawrence was July 2004. All of the victims in Lawrence were University students at the time of the attacks. Edited by Bre Roach "A lot of times I will call a friend when I walk alone, and I always lock all my doors," Tran said.

FEATURE With an idea of how the modern geek pulled himself up from the bottom of the social ladder to a more comfortable position, I began to examine just who this modern geek is. advanced level geek My search begins with Rod Landreth, a 40-year-old senior from Sherwood, Ark., who towers over me. When I ask if he considers himself a geek, he looks me straight in the eye from behind a pair of black-framed glasses and says he knows more about Godzilla than most people know about anything. He's been playing Dungeons and Dragons for 30 years, loves Star Trek, Star Wars and Star Blazers, and shows up to our interview wearing a crimson polo with embroidered with the image of Bun-Bun, a knife-wielding rabbit from the cult comic "Sluggy Freelance." Landreth calls himself a "geek evangelist," and wants to spread the word about the goodness of geekdom, which includes acquiring an encyclopedic knowledge about whatever interests you and getting to use your imagination as an adult. One of Landreth's favorite parts about being a geek is that "you can't be stupid and be a geek." TV shows with geek followings like "Star Trek" and "Firefly" rarely write down to their audience to make them easier to follow, they just force their audience to rise to the challenge. For this reason, geek culture might survive longer than most other counter-cul ture movements, Landreth predicts. It might never become totally accessible to the public, but the web has helped level the geek playing field. With websites dedicated to everything from "Star Trek" to iPhones to beauty products, it seems like everybody is a supergeek about something, says Genevieve Valentine, co-author of the book "Geek Wisdom" and a writer for several prominent sci-fi and fantasy magazines. It gets lonely at the top of the Galactic Empire for Darth Vader. Fortunately, geeks have plenty of ways to socialize, including role playing games, video games or even just watch Star Wars. "I think that geek has only ever had one meaning, and that is someone who gets super excited about something," Valentine says. "But people who were geeks about sports never got labeled in the same way as people that were geeks about building model trains, for some reason." Unfortunately, for decades mainstream culture wasn't accepting of geeks. As a result, geeks withdrew and it became harder for the average Joe to feel accepted in traditionally geeky environments. Today, geeks aren't just becoming more popular in our culture; they're actively creating it. Nowhere is this more obvious than a comic book store — geek mecca. As a child I begged my dad to take me to the comic book store, but when I finally got there as a teenager, I was overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of comics, yet ignored by the teenage boy behind the cash register who seemed to actively try not to help people. Joel Pfannenstiel noticed this problem, too. "You'd have to fight your way around these guys playing "War Hammer" on top of the back issues," Pfannenstiel, owner of Astrokitty Comics and More, says of his early experience in stores. When he moved from Wichita to Lawrence to attend college, he had a series of bad comic buying experiences that forced him to stop reading entirely for several years. But he eventually returned to his roots and started working at Mass. St. Comics, a now-closed store where employees and the owners shared a vision of creating a comic store atmosphere that would appease both devoted fans and newcomers. Posters weren't plastered over windows. Employees were friendly rather than antisocial. Neat rows of carefully selected materials replaced overwhelming stacks of unorganized comics. It was a store where comic lovers could feel at home and comic virgins could come in without feeling out of place. It's a philosophy Pfannenstiel incorporated into his own store when Mass. St. Comics closed in 2005. Painted sky blue with sunflower yellow stars, Astrokitty, 15 8 03 15 12 People who onlone the women's basketball team placed a de facto ultimatum on Henrickson this season. If the Jayhawks failed to advance to the NCAA Tournament this season, Henrickson should lose her job. You could sense the excitement and relief from Henrickson and her team. The Jayhawks finally earned their moment of glory. Kansas can build off this. Say what you want about how the Jayhawks have performed since Davis's injury, but for them to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament after losing its star player is impressive and a testament to Henrickson. Kansas finally reached its goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament, but now it must strive for bigger goals and build for the future. Henrickson could and should be the coach to lead the Jayhawks. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar into Thursday's game has not changed. "When you have a bad outing like that, and he's a highly competitive individual, he's looking for a chance to redeem himself." Price said. "I was really pleased with his performance in that first start, and I know him well enough to say that he wants this chance to redeem himself." "Strike one," Morovick said. "Strike one and that's all I need." Morovick and the Jayhawks face an Indiana State team that is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Sycamore's 8.7 runs a game leads the Missouri Valley Conference, and Thursday's starter Dakota Bacus is 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. Coach Ritch Price says that Morovick's competitive nature will be crucial in the freshman's rebound start. A key aspect of the jayhawks' success in the nonconference has been the near-flowless defensive. The Kansas defense ranks ninth nationally with a .983 field percentage, and out of the 58 runs allowed this year, just three are "I thought we had a chance to be good defensively, and it all starts with the kid at short-stop," Price said. "Kevin Kuntz along with the second baseman Eldredge have played exceptional on defense, and anytime you're solid up the middle like that, you are going to have a great defensive team." being down only one run at the end or the fifth inning. unearned. The strong defensive play enables the pitching staff to attack the strike zone more effectively, but the middle infielders' performance has taken the defense to an elite level. The defense even stepped up to the challenge of playing at the MSFC Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn., last week. While the white roof and indoor balcony could cause many college fielder's to lose sight of the ball, Kansas handled to new element well. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay said that his prior experience in indoor venues helped make a difference.

Having a store that makes geek culture accessible and appealing to people that might not have been willing to try it a few years ago is good for business, but the philosophy also appeals to Pfannenstiel on a personal level. He enjoys seeing people experiencing comics for the first time, even if it's because of the recent proliferation of superhero movies and comic books based on TV shows. geek-lite With a better understanding of the diehard geeks of the world and how geeks became chic, I move on to examining a more recent addition to the geek world, the moderate geek. Gone are the days when a geek can be identified by sight, I discover as I search the mid-afternoon crowd of The Underground, looking for Kyle McRae, a senior from Iola who recently founded the University's Pokemon fan club. I don't know exactly who I'm looking for, maybe a sickly looking guy wearing a Pikachu t-shirt. I'm surprised when I finally find McRae. He looks like a southern frat boy in his navy pullover, striped dress shirt and and cowboy boots. Like many children of the '90s, McRae grew up loving Pokemon. The early exposure to Japanese culture led him to study it in college, which put him in the company of other Pokemon fans. Now every Thursday night, they get together to play the card game the TV show was based on. He was surprised to find that almost 50 people have expressed interested in his club, proof that people are becoming more accepting of their inner-nerd, just like he has. "In college, I just don't care anymore what people think," he says. "I can go be nerdy." Nerdy activities are becoming a more acceptable part of student's lives. Take, for example, Holden Beier-Green, a junior from Topeka who transforms from an amiable college student into a light-saber wielding Sith for a few hours each night. Beier-Green isn't suffering from an identity crisis. He just plays Star Wars: The Old Republic, a recently released World of Warcraft-style multi-player online role playing game set in the Star Wars universe. He's played video games, his favorite form of entertainment, for years, starting out with an Xbox playing Halo and Grand Theft Auto before moving on to PC gaming. Last month, he decided to start playing Old Republic with his friends. Beier-Green says playing the game is a nice way to relax at the end of a stressful day of work and classes. It also gives him an opportunity to spend time with his friends without having to be in the same room as them. What might have seemed like intensely geeky dedication a few decades ago is now a normal part of life for many male college students. A few weeks later, I ask a very tan, very blonde woman if she has any geeky tendencies. "I don't know" says Casey Freeman, a junior from Hutchison. "I'm very intense about school. I never miss a class unless it's to study for another class. And I read academic articles for fun. Does that count?" I say it does. In my exploration of the wide world of geek, I have realized that Genevieve Valentine was right. Forget the glasses, forget the expansive collection of comic book and superhero t-shirts. A geek is just somebody who really likes something; anything. Some geeks might be a little more intense than others, but we've all become part of a society that is more accepting of pure, unadulterated excitement, whether it's over the latest Apple product or the most recent episode of "Dr. Who." We're all geeks about something, and it's okay to admit it.

Better Options: Eating healthy on a budget //ALLISON BOND Tips for healthy eating alternatives while saving money. Anne Schwartz, a sophomore from Leawood, is training to run a marathon with her friend on April 15. With intense training, she feels it is important to eat healthy. "When I don't eat healthy I can tell," Schwartz says. "I feel more energized and run better when I eat healthier." Starting April 1, Schwartz plans to avoid processed foods and eat more fruits and vegetables as the race draws closer. Eating healthy and buying fresh produce can sometimes be expensive though. Tarin Clay, a senior from Rose Hill, says she shops at Checkers and Aldi's to find cheaper produce. "I check the ads before I go grocery shopping to get the best deals," Clay says. Staci Hendrickson, a diet and nutrition specialist and owner of Healthy Balance Inc. in Lawrence, offers her own tips on ways to stay healthy at a low cost. First, she suggests people drink the recommended eight cups of water a day."People Secondly, fresh produce can be expensive when buying out of season. Hendrickson says that's because out-of-season fresh produce is shipped in from different countries and chemicals are added to help preserve freshness. Frozen fruits and vegetables can actually be cheaper. The frozen produce becomes cheaper because of the produce being bagged and frozen when it was in season and customers in turn having not to buy out of season. The frozen produce is also healthier because there are not as many chemicals added to help preserve them. Finally, the American Heart Association is now encouraging people to have a meatless meal once per week, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Hendrickson says that supplementing the meal with other sources of protein like beans can be another healthy protein alternative and costs less than buying meat. 30.

People who towon the women's basketball team placed a de facto ultimatum on Henrickson this season. If the Jayhawks failed to advance to the NCAA Tournament this season, Henrickson should lose her job. You could sense the excitement and relief from Henrickson and her team. The Jayhawks finally earned their moment of glory. Kansas can build off this. Say what you want about how the Jayhawks have performed since Davis's injury, but for them to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament after losing its star player is impressive and a testament to Henrickson. Kansas finally reached its goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament, but now it must strive for bigger goals and build for the future. Henrickson could and should be the coach to lead the Jayhawks. - Edited by Tanvi Nimkar into Thursday's game has not changed. "Strike one," Morovick said. "Strike one and that's all I need." "When you have a bad outing like that, and he's a high-competitive individual, he's looking for a chance to redeem himself." Price said. "I was really pleased with his performance in that first start, and I know him well enough to say that he wants this chance to redeem himself." Morovick and the Jayhawks face an Indiana State team that is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Sycamore's 8.7 runs a game leads the Missouri Valley Conference, and Thursday's starter Dakota Bacus is 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. Coach Ritch Price says that Morovick's competitive nature will be crucial in the freshman's rebound start. A key aspect of the Jayhawks' success in the nonconference has been the near-flawless defensive. The Kansas defense ranks ninth nationally with a 983 field percentage, and out of the 58 runs allowed this year, just three are being down only one run at the end of the fifth inning. unearned. The strong defensive play enables the pitching staff to attack the strike zone more effectively, but the middle infielders' performance has taken the defense to an elite level.

While the white roof and indoor lighting could cause many college fielders to lose sight of the ball, Kansas handled to new element well. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay said that his prior experience in indoor venues helped make a difference. "I thought we had a chance to be good defensively, and it all starts with the kid at shortstop," Price said.

Sophomore second baseman Kaiana Eldredge led the Jayhawks in Big 12 batting average last season, hitting .356 in the final month of the year. However, he is off to another slow start with a batting average of .190. Eldredge recorded a multi-hit game against Minnesota, and Price is optimistic that the sophomore can find his swing heading into Thursday's game. "For us to be good, he has to be productive," Price said. "He's been a good hitter as by his First Team All-Big 12 Conference selection as a freshman a year ago, so we need him to keep making progress." at Tropicana Field." Mckay said. "So I had been in a domed field before, and I liked it. The field was nice and the lighting wasn't too bad." LaChelda Jacobs, a 2010 graduate, wasn't watching, but found out through a tweet from fellow 2010 graduate Kelly Kohn. She grabbed her phone and sent coach Bonnie Henrickson a text. Jacobs said the memories of her playing days came rushing back when she thought of the struggles the team has faced this year. Edited by Pat Strathman "They have had an awesome year," Jacobs said. "Every year for me we would be the team that was always on the bubble and Monday would come and we wouldn't make it. So I was so happy to see that." Jacobs and 2010 graduate Porscha Weddington keep in touch almost daily and they connected after the announcement. Jacobs said Weddington has been trying to get her back to Lawrence for an alumni weekend and this announcement made it seem more urgent. Weddington is finishing up graduate school at Kansas and has been it has been 12 seasons since Kansas made the tournament, so this experience is uniting the alumni who still describe the team as "we" and started planning reunions by catching up through texts and tweets over the last several days. All three players said they would tune in on Sunday night to watch the game. They will continue planning a reunion and cheering for the current team who carries the legacy of their program. They were also entertained with the assignment to play Nebraska, a former B12 ice dog, in the game. Weddington talked about how assistant coach Tory Verdi coached at Nebraska for five years before coming to Kansas. Jacobs talked about the recent records like splitting the series last year and described the game as doable. Morris turned to strategy outlining the familiarity of the coaching staff and players. r bounce is a great catch, Morris said. "She came here to turn the program around and that's what she's doing." From the early excitement of the tournament selection to the return of a series that has been played every season since 1974-75, these proud alumni are still cheering for their younger layhawk counterparts. "It is definitely a doable game and I see them advancing on to the second round so I definitely have my fingers crossed," Jacobs said.

The festival is 18 and up because it is for mature audiences only. PHOTOS BY ASHLEIGH LEE Whispers of "are you off the book?" followed by giggles and the sound of someone cracking an energy drink fill the makeshift practice space of these EMU Theatre actors. As the actors trickle in to what was a conference room, it becomes clear that whether or not they've memorized their lines, these people are an array of KU students and Lawrence locals. The biggest thing they all have in common? A love of theater. Since 1998, EMU Theatre, a Lawrence theater troupe, has performed more than 35 shows all over the state, from Lawrence to Kansas City to Wichita. Now, the group gears up for its next performance, a series of 10-minute single-act plays called "Paint Your Dragon," scheduled for the last weekend in March and the first weekend in April. Dan Spurgin, writer and director of "Online Education," one of the one-act plays for the upcoming show, says he cannot remember when exactly he first got involved with EMU, but he had previously been involved in another local group called "The Hypothetical Seven" and attributes his familiarity with EMU to a sort of "cross-pollination" of local actors in Lawrence. When he first heard about the annual 10-minute play festival a few years ago, he and a friend decided to write one A diverse collection of short plays involves a wide range of actors. together. Spurgin has been participating in EMU and writing one-acts ever since. "It's a trial group, where you come to learn all different parts of theatre," Spurgin says of the local troupe. "You're not coming here as a pro. You're coming here to get a chance." Tonight, the group of actors practice "Online Education." Spurgin's most recent one-act about the ironies and hilariities of getting a master's degree online. The idea is especially ironic because, when he's not doing EMU, Spurgin is a computer programmer for the E-Learning Design Lab who has actually written web coding for online education. "Writing plays has a lot of similarities to writing code, because code is a lot more artistic than people realize and plays are a lot more structured than people realize." Spurgin says. "EMU gives you the opportunity to be in plays. If you audition for the University ones and don't make it, then you have to wait till next semester to do it." Farinosi says. "These, they have a lot of parts for different people so you get more experience." As practice continues, the importance of the craft becomes prominent among the actors. Spurgin prompts the actors with their lines and encourages them with specific emotions to channel to their characters. The main character is played by Paul Farinosi, a sophomore KU theater student that tried out for the 10-minute play festival as extra credit for a class. His character, David Leaky, is a graduate student that thinks he has found a way to skip undergraduate work and instead begin work on his master's. It's clear that the members of EMU Theatre are a diverse bunch. Although Farinosi is just beginning his experience with EMU, Andy Stowers, a Lawrence resident that plays Farinosi's counterpart in the one-act, was actually one of the founding members of EMU. As Stowers explains it, the group simply began because he and a friend were offered a free performance space and they decided to do a show. After an enthusiastic audience and performer reaction, they wanted to keep it up. When he's not doing EMU, Stowers says he works about four jobs, but found time to write a one-act that's also being featured in the 10-minute play festival. "It's an all-volunteer company. Most of the people are doing it because they love doing it," Stowers says of the troupe. "It decreases the weird ego-thing that sometimes sours theater for me." Jeff Sorrels, the production manager for this year's 10-minute play festival, emphasizes that the focus of EMU is to get local artists work like Stowers' on stage. It's then Sorrels' job to piece all of the one-acts together like a jigsaw puzzle. He says that because they are all different and not necessarily connected, it seems to get a wider range of people involved. "We succeed with EMU's core mission of bringing people's visions to life with the resources we can allocate," Sorrels says. "I love 10-minute plays. If you don't like one, just wait 10 minutes." EMU upholds numerous traditions that make the theatre one that is focused on originality and variation. Each year, Sorrels says the 10-minute play festival is named for the Chinese zodiac symbol of the year — this year it's the dragon, but in years past the collection of one-acts has been called anything from "Junkyard Dogma" to "Cat-Scratch Theatre." Similarly, although the group was originally named after the large native Australian bird, each year troupe members come up with something that the letters stand for, like "electro-magnetic underwear," Sorrels says. As practice comes to a close, Spurgin admits to the group that it's a little bit behind schedule. Because it's an all-volunteer group, sometimes it's a challenge to require people to be at practice. One member of the one-act is missing tonight, making it difficult for the group to get a feel for some of the scenes. Still two weeks out, Spurgin says that group must focus on structure and technique to improve the one-act. "To get to write lines and see them show up on stage is a very valuable thing for me as a writer," Spurgin says. "I love that there just happen to be a group of people who basically are still 7 years old and want to put on puppet shows for their mom and dad."

Warnings told students to exercise caution and remain aware of sexual assaults. The city of Lawrence, University officials and the Kansas Attorney General issued the warnings after the attorney general announced in March 2009 that six Lawrence rapes, seven Manhattan rapes and an attempted rape in Manhattan may be related, with the last known rape occurring in Lawrence in December 2008.

It can and does happen at many different times during the year," Fellers said. "We do want people to be aware, but we don't want people to let their guard down just because spring break is over." The first known rape occurred during the fall of 2000 in Manhattan, and the first attack in Lawrence was July 2004. All of the victims in Lawrence were University students at the time of the attacks.

Miss Alex White and Francis "Scott Key" White tore up the Jackpot last Thursday night with their tourmates Night Beats (Seattle) and local punk trio Up The Academy. Since forming in 2008, White Mystery has picked up increasingly positive press, recently landing a song on MTV's Jersey Shore. They've self-released both of their full length albums and are set to release a new 3-song EP, "People Power," on April 20. HAS MUSIC ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE PART OF YOUR LIFE? ALEX: Definitely, from a young age. I started playing shows in Chicago, in basements and garages, when I was 13. By the time I was 15 I was playing clubs with adults and my parents would drive me in their mini-van to play bars when I was in high school. Chicago's the kind of town where you can do that — you can develop as a musician even in your teens, and I think that head start has a lot to do with where White Mystery is now. I also started a record label when I was 17. It was a mail-order thing when the internet was "new and exciting." I made a one-page website with a PayPal button. That's what kind of birthed my DIY persistence or aesthetic in music. FRANCIS: I started playing shows when I was 14, but I never made it outside my backyard, where wed play shows with a couple buddies watching us. I was mainly just playing Dungeons and Dragons and helping my sister write songs and formulate songs for other bands — just being a nerdy little doughboy. IS CHICAGO A COMPETITIVE PLACE TO TRY TO CUT IT AS A BAND? FRANCIS: Chicago's competitive in the best way possible — where the competition inspires all your friends to do better than you and try to outdo each other. It's not a backstabbing market by any means. It's a really tight-knit community with really great musicians that are all very... incestuous in the bands that they get into. They riff of each other, forming different bands with the same guys. It's like there's that one drummer who drums for every single band, and that one gun-for-hire bass player who's in every band, you know? ALEX: One thing I've noticed that's unique about White Mystery and a teeny tiny pinchful of other bands in Chicago, in our niche rock scene, is that only White Mystery and one other band are fulltime. We're not bartenders, we're not baristas — we both worked very, very hard and saved a lot of cash to be able to do what we do full time. We quit our jobs (Busy Beaver Button Company) and were able to focus solely on music last January, 2011. WAS THERE A PARTICULAR PIECE OF PRESS THAT KICKED OFF YOUR RECENT POPULARITY GROWTH SPURT? ALEX: Well, NPR's "Sound Opinions" show featured us when we got back from our first nationwide tour. It was a big deal for us because the show only seems to cover big, serious-ass stuff like Metallica or R. Kelly rather than independent music. But the big thing is MTV: they've really taken care of us. Pitchfork never really covered us. They gave us a 7.2 for our first record, but stopped covering us after that, so we said, "Fuck it! We're going to MTV, dude!" "cause that is international money-bag stuff — they got a real cable TV station, so many subsidiaries, a movie production company, "Beavis and Butthead" is back on the air — it just way more farther-reaching!

Hi-fi, or high fidelity, involves reproducing sound to a higher quality, which is what many disc jockeys use to reproduce their music. However, hi-fi equipment includes a range of items and can also include high-quality home theater systems. Vinyl Renaissance, a Kansas City original audio equipment and music store, is hosting the show at its 39th Street location on Thursday, March 15 at 6 p.m. Dan Phillips, the owner of the business, says that the idea for the show simply came up in conversation one day. Although Denver and St. Louis host similar programs, Kansas City hasn't seen an equipment show in many years. "We want to raise awareness of hi-fi equipment in the Kansas City area," Phillips says. "There hasn't been a real, active dealer presence for 20 years, but it used to be done all the time in the 70s." Back then, companies would come to stores and put on demonstrations to show their products and comment on any recent developments in technology of audio equipment. After a short presentation of what's new and popular in the audio business, Leard will allow time for questions, making the show a true discussion for music fans and recording moguls alike. Ange Ngansop, a senior from Doula, Cameron, who spends his spare time playing music in Mixtrack, plans on attending the event to further his knowledge on hi-fi equipment and as DJ Mixtrack, plans on attending the event to fu sound quality. "Whether it is for DJing or personal use, I expect my audio equipment to deliver a crystal clear sound." Ngansop says. "If you are an aspiring DJ, producer or just a music lover it's better to learn from experts." Good news for those aspiring music lovers of the Midwest; Phillips plans to have more shows like these in the future, to truly revive what has been lost from the 1970s.

"Twilight" didn't do a great job but I think "The Hunger Games" will do a much better job," says Allison Jackson, a junior from Stafford. CHOMPING AT THE BIT: The trend behind the hype around "The Hunger Game CONTRIBUTED PHOTO COLLECTION // BRITTNEY HAYNES Movie scene from "The Hunger Games" with Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth, coming out in theaters March 23. 1904 Survival, war, humanity, life, death love—these are just some of the themes in Suzanne Collins' New York Times best-selling novel, "The Hunger Games." Followed by "Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay," the novel is the first in "The Hunger Games" trilogy. Although the book was originally published in 2008, with the film coming March 23, the series has become increasing popular, even with college students. The book opens in the country Panem, built on the ruins on what used to be North America. The country is divided into thirteen districts with a Capitol in the middle. The districts began to retaliate against the Capitol and as punishment, the Capitol destroyed District 13. In order to keep the other 12 districts under control and to remind them of its power, the Capitol forces each district to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to compete in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death televised live. The story follows Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old girl who steps forward to take her younger sister's place in the Games. "All throughout the book, there was suspense. There was never a dull moment." Rachel Kaiser, a sophomore from Winfield says. "Every twist and turn was unexpected. The characters are relatable because they're around our age. Plus, it's a love story and there's action, so it's the best of both worlds." As I talked to various students,I heard that each person found something different about the book appealing. For some it was characters,others the storyline,but several others things also kept readers interested. "The way the book was written and how each chapter left me hanging made me want to keep reading," says Audrey Moylan, a junior from Lenexa. "I had to stop reading in the middle of chapters because I couldn't put it down if I read to the end of a chapter." The movie's screenplay was written by the novel's author, Suzanne Collins, which has fans asking: How close to the book does the movie stay? "I'm looking forward to seeing how closely the cast plays the characters to Kaiser and Moylan say they are also interested to see how the movie matches up to the images they had in their minds while reading the book. "I'm also interested in how the actual Games in particular are going to be portrayed." Moylan says. "Adding on to that, I'm interested in how gory it's going to be, as well." Jordan Klein, a junior from Colleyville, Texas says. Since its release in 2008, the book has sold 11 million copies in the United States. It's been so popular with readers, it's easy to see why fans are so excited for the movie's release. The movie, which comes out March 23, stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale. Peeta is the other competitor chosen from District 12, and Gale is Katniss' best friend back home.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA:DID YOU HAPPEN TO DRAW ON ANY MATERIAL FROM THE FILM BATTLE ROYALE? L. H. I've never seen it.I tried to keep to the movie and script. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND: HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE PRESS BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTATIONS FROM THE POPULAR-ITY OF THE BOOKS? L. H. It's nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time. When we got the script, it wasn't near as big of a deal as it is now. It's definitely one of the most powerful films I've seen and I'm proud of work the cast and I did. VANDERBILT, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOVE TRIANGLE GOING ON IN THE BOOKS WITH KATNIS, PEETA AND GALE. HOW IS THAT TRORAXED IN THE MOVIE? L. H. The movie is very true to the book. At this point, Gale and Katniss are not romantic, they're just best friends. With Peeta and Katniss, she's confused about her feelings for him. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. HOW DOES YOUR ROLE IN THE HUNGER GAMES DIFFER FROM ROLES YOU VE DONE IN THE PAST? L.H. Every one of my roles is different, but I try to show some part of myself in all my roles. Gale's a very strong character caught in a terrible situation. He's very powerless at this point, he has to provide for a whole family, and he doesn't support the Games in any way. He stays true to himself. UNIVERSITY OF N. TEXAS: WHICH DISSTRICT WOULD YOU LIVE IN AND WHY? L.H. I just wouldn't want to live in any of them. The Capitol is very misguided. e1 G/KANSAN 175 worth participant Wednesday Union.

Warnings told students to exercise caution and remain aware of sexual assaults. The city of Lawrence, University officials and the Kansas Attorney General issued the warnings after the attorney general announced in March 2009 that six Lawrence rapes, seven Manhattan rapes and an attempted rape in Manhattan may be related, with the last known rape occurring in Lawrence in December 2008. The last warning issued to students about sexual assault was before the University's spring break last year. Captain Paul Fellers of the Lawrence police department said the during break periods but at all times of the year. The rapist is known to stalk his victims and is described as a white male between the age of 25 and 40. He is said to be between 5-foot-9 and six-feet tall and between 160 to 175 pounds. He covered his face during many of the attacks and had some sort of weapon at some of the attacks. "Sexual assault is very serious. It can and does happen at many different times during the year," Fellers said. "We do want people to be aware, but we don't want people to let their guard down just because spring break is over." The first known rape occurred during the fall of 2000 in Manhattan, and the first attack in Lawrence was July 2004. All of the victims in Lawrence were University students at the time of the attacks.

"A lot of times I will call a friend when I walk alone, and I always lock all my doors," Tran said. "My parents have always taught me safety but being alone on campus and at home has definitely made me more aware of my surroundings." "The investigation remains open and law enforcement will follow up on all leads," Jeff Wagaman said, Deputy Chief of Staff for the attorney general. Theresa Tran, a junior from Liberty, Mo. said she heard about the case previously and always tried to follow safety tips.

PLAY 4. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Eat This. Tofu //SARA SNEATH POT An easy exploration into vegetarian cooking I picked this week's recipe because it has "ridiculously easy" in the title. I've never cooked tofu — though I've eaten it a few times — and I am a bit anxious about cooking it. The good thing is I know I can't undercook tofu; there's no risk of salmonella. Rachel Cook prepares me for my tofu culinary adventure. Cook's Japanese mother made tofu dishes for Cook as a child. Cook, a graduate student from Greeley, Colo., remembers eating tofu in sandwiches with soy sauce and ginger. While she continues to make tofu sandwiches, she also uses Fat Free Vegan Kitchen, a recipe blog written by Susan Voisin, who's been a vegan for 18 years. Cook suggests I check out the blog to find a recipe I feel comfortable making. I decide on "Ridiculously Easy Curry-Scrambled Tofu." plastic package similar to a block of cheese, with a tad of water. It smells like liquid smoke and has the texture of creamy boiled egg whites or flan. Cooks favorite tofu is Central Soyfoods' hickory smoked tofu, which I decide to use in my tofu scramble. The tofu comes in a PHOTO BY SARA SNEATH "If you plan to cook it in a pan or grill it, you should let it drain off on a paper towel or tea towel, just something to absorb the water," Cook says, "but that's just if you're planning to cook with it." Both the recipe and Cook say I don't need to add any oil to the pan to cook the tofu, but I prefer all food with a tablespoon of olive oil. I cut up the peppers and mushrooms and cook in them in a non-stick skillet – with olive oil – until they are soft, about two minutes. I toss in the garlic and cook for another minute before adding the tofu, which I have chopped into cubes. I sprinkle in the curry and peppers, then cover the mixture with vegetable broth. When the tofu is hot, I dust the dish with the nutritional yeast and salt to taste. Once cooked, the tofu becomes slightly less spongy. I'm a textual eater; I hate mismatching textures in my food. However, the tofu fits in well with the cooked vegetables. The tofu scramble I make tastes like sweet curry and peppers. "Generally, tofu doesn't really have a taste. The benefit of that is you can add whatever kind of seasoning you want and it inherits that flavor," Cook says. I place the leftover tofu in a dish with a bit of water to conserve the tofu's size and form. Cook says her mom tells her you should change the tofu water every day to keep it tasting fresh, but she usually changes it about every other day. Refrigerated raw tofu can be kept for five to seven days.

Some of his friends prefer beer, some like straight liquor, some enjoy mixed drinks like Jager Bombs or Jack and Cokes, and some go for fruity drinks, so Ma wanted to share a shot that suits everyone in the group. He stands between many others crowding the bar, leans forward to meet bartender's eyes, puts up five fingers and yells, "five kamikazes" to the bartender, who nods her head and starts making the lime-green colored shots. Drink This... Kamikaze shots //RACHEL CHEON "It's fruity and it doesn't taste super strong," Ma says. Although a kamikaze shot tastes fruity, it satisfies those who want to get the job done quickly because it has a high alcohol content. It's ironic, but true. The recipe for a kamikaze shot varies slightly, but generally includes Triple Sec, which is an orange flavored liquor, vodka, and lime juice. Triple Sec is generally 30 percent alcohol by volume, and unflavored vodka is usually 40 percent by volume. Chelsea Alderman, a bartender at Screenland Armour in Kansas City, Mo., says the kamikazes shot is a good drink for group shots. "Kamikazes are good for everybody because the name sounds badass, and they're strong because of the vodka, but it is a citrus drink," Alderman says. Kamikaze means "divine wind," also referring to suicide pilots of Japan during World War II. If you want to drink something that doesn't have a strong alcohol taste, the citrusy flavor in a kamikaze shot helps to counter that. If you want to drink something that will get you tipsy fast, the two strong spirits in a kamikaze shot will waste no time. If you just can't think of what to order, ask for a kamikaze. It's easy to say (kah-mi-kah-zee), and most bartenders know how to make it. K.D. PHOTO BY RACCHEN CHEUN Kamikaze shots from Tonic, 728 Massachusetts St. 031514 12 People who tolow the women's basketball team placed a de facto ultimatum on Henrickson this season. If the Jayhawks failed to advance to the NCAA Tournament this season, Henrickson should lose her job. Kansas can build off this. Say what you want about how the Jayhawks have performed since Davis's injury, but for them to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament after losing its star player is impressive and a testament to Henrickson. Kansas finally reached its goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament, but now it must strive for bigger goals and build for the future. Henrickson could and should be the coach to lead the Jayhawks. You could sense the excitement and relief from Henrickson and her team. The Jayhawks finally earned their moment of glory. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar into thursday's game has not changed. Morovick and the Jayhawks face an Indiana State team that is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Sycamore's 8.7 runs a game leads the Missouri Valley Conference, and Thursday's starter Dakota Bacus is 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. Coach Ritch Price says that Morovick's competitive nature will be crucial in the freshman's rebound start. "Strike one," Morovick said. "Strike one and that's all I need." "When you have a bad outing like that, and he's a highly competitive individual, he's looking for a chance to redeem himself." Price said. "I was really pleased with his performance in that first start, and I know him well enough to say that he wants this chance to redeem himself." A key aspect of the Jayhawks' success in the nonconference has been the near-flawless defensive. The Kansas defense ranks ninth nationally with a .983 field percentage, and out of the 58 runs allowed this year, just three are being down only one run at the end or the fifth inning unearned. The strong defensive play enables the pitching staff to attack the strike zone more effectively, but the middle infielders' performance has taken the defense to an elite level. "I thought we had a chance to be good defensively, and it all starts with the kid at short-stop," Price said. "Kevin Kuntz along with the second baseman Eidredege have played exceptional on defense, and anytime you're solid up the middle like that, you are going to have a great defensive team." The defense even stepped up to the challenge of playing at the MSFC Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn., last week. While the white roof and indoor lighting could cause many college fielders to lose sight of the ball, Kansas handled to new element well. Freshman center fielder Connor McKay said that his prior experience in indoor venues helped make a difference. "About a year ago, I had the chance to play down in Florida at Tropicana Field." Mckay said. "So I had been in a domed field before, and I liked it. The field was nice and the lighting wasn't too bad." Offensively, the Jayhawks are showing more signs of improvement. Sophomore second baseman Ka'iana Eldredge led the Jayhawks in Big 12 batting average last season, hitting .356 in the final month of the year. However, he is off to another slow start with a batting average of .190. Eldredge recorded a multi-hit game against Minnesota, and Price is optimistic that the sophomore can find his swing heading into Thursday's game. "For us to be good, he has to be productive," Price said. "He's been a good hitter as by his First Team All-Big 12 Conference selection as a freshman a year ago, so we need him to keep making progress." Edited by Pat Strathman Jacobs said the memories of her playing days came rushing back when she thought of the struggles the team has faced this year. It has been 12 seasons since Kansas made the tournament, so this experience is uniting the alumni who still describe the team as "we" and started planning reunions by catching up through texts and tweets over the last several days. LaChelda Jacobs, a 2010 graduate, wasn't watching, but found out through a tweet from fellow 2010 graduate Kelly Kohn. She grabbed her phone and sent coach Bonnie Henrickson a text. "They have had an awesome year," Jacobs said. "Every year for me we would be the team that was always on the bubble and Monday would come and we wouldn't make it. So I was so happy to see that." Jacobs and 2010 graduate Porscha Weddington keep in touch almost daily and they connected after the announcement. Jacobs said Weddington has been trying to get her back to Lawrence for an alumni weekend and this announcement made it seem more urgent. Weddington is finishing up graduate school at Kansas and has been dominie is a great catch, mary11 is sad. "She came here to turn the program around and that's what she's doing." All three players said they would tune in on Sunday night to watch the game. They will continue planning a reunion and cheering for the current team who carries the legacy of their program. They were also entertained with the assignment to play Nebraska, a former Big 12 foe, in the game. Weddington talked about how assistant coach Tory Verdi coached at Nebraska for five years before coming to Kansas. Jacobs talked about the recent records like splitting the series last year and described the game as doable. Morris turned to strategy outlining the familiarity of the coaching staff and players. From the early excitement of the tournament selection to the return of a series that has been played every season since 1974-75, these proud alumni are still cheering for their younger Jayhawk counterparts. "It is definitely a doable game and I see them advancing on to the second round so I definitely have my fingers crossed," Jacobs said. - Edited by Amanda Gage Volume 124 Issue 119 kansan.com Friday, March 16, 2012 AEROSHOT PURE ENERGY The caffeine fix of the future page 6 Don't let spring break max out your credit card Check out how to manage your vacation money page 6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK 1904 SPEAK --would pop lucid and casual into conversation, asking me what was wrong, only to fumble over an illogical statement and lapse once more into the void. The Dark Night of the Soul Standing by those we love, even in the hardest of times. //JOHN GARFIELD The night before the orderlies took her, she wept and gnashed her teeth. My sweetheart writted despondently in the dark, her family and closest friends hovering tentatively outside her room. An inescapable air of powerlessness haunted those who tried in vain to help — an unbearable likeness to a scene from a bad exorcism movie. Everyone walked on eggshells around her, speaking to her like a child. She She was my first real love. When all our friends were competitive and dramatic, we laid back and enjoyed a thing based on friendship, and the novelty that The whole time, I felt nothing save des peration, the lump in my throat and the notion that the night would never end. B A self-portrait by John Garfield's ex-girlfriend taken during the time period described in his essay CONTRIBUTED PHOTO came from having tried to resist. She was, after all, my good friend's little sister, so things had been slow to build. Wed been together just over six months when she began her unwind. It was, at first, a series of unhealthy but seemingly harmless fixations. She relived conflicts in her head, obsessing over a girl who had jeered at her Asian heritage, and lamenting minute criticisms from her art and philosophy teachers. She began pouring herself into art that became increasingly abrasive, irreverent and accosting. She became enraged by criticism of her photographs of blank surfaces, out-of-focus still-lives and disturbingly wild-eyed self-portraits. One day, I arrived at her house to see junk mail spread across her kitchen counter. She was livid, almost to tears, thinking that her philosophy teacher had conspired with the racist girl to send her the flyers as a convoluted prank. When she finally embraced the other side, she entered an ethereal world defined by the intricacies of color. Obscure and specific hues took the place of adjectives as she spoke like a shaman of the world she perceived. After a couple weeks, her family and I could no longer deny what was happening — that this would not simply go away — and every day became like purgatory. We could see and touch the girl we cared for, but when she talked, she was no longer herself. I will always remember the night I begged her to come back to the world of the living, to snap out of it so she wouldn't have to go away. The night was malaise incarnate. I felt dry inside, my constitution bleached as I lay there, placating the creature she had become. I wanted her to recognize once more the mores, folkways and contrivances of our society. Her glossy-eyed refusal to buy back in cut me to the bone and to this day affects the way I see humanity. Death may be a ruthless thief and tyrant, but madness is a sadist. Madness that does not permit closure, taunts you with the eyes of your loved one, not permitting you to know if their divine spark will align again behind their eyes. The day after they committed my girlfriend, my mother took me aside. She loved the girl but could see the toll things had taken on me. There were tears in her eyes when she slacked her bear hug enough that I could see her face as she told me that my short relationship did not make this my battle. I could tell it brought her great pain, trying to absolve me of my burden. I understood her argument, as she was essentially right, but no part of me would humor the notion of running away. If it had been anyone I cared about, I would have done the same thing. Regardless of what it could have meant that this girl would go so far away, the person who laid there, unkempt, was in no way inhuman. She deserved love and attention exactly as much as anyone who is able to recall their assignments, their bank balance or their plans for the future. Time would see her on her feet again, defiant of the pigeonholes she was prescribed. In a year, she had kicked the poison they were feeding her, and was brighter and more confident than ever. The dark night of her soul became a distant and unclear memory. Another few years would find us happily in the arms of others, important but increasingly distant memories to each other. No matter how much time passes, I will always respect myself for sticking by her when even the most compassionate person I knew told me I didn't have to. I didn't do it to be a martyr or to earn points for the afterlife. I did it for her, and I did it because I would hope that my friends would have done the same for me. I'm not sure what type of person I would have needed to be to leave her alone in her moment of need, but I know for a fact that I would not have been myself.

Sophomore second baseman Ka'iana Eldredge led the Jayhawks in Big 12 batting average last season, hitting .356 in the final month of the year. However, he is off to another slow start with a batting average of .190. Eldredge recorded a multi-hit game against Minnesota, and Price is optimistic that the sophomore can find his swing heading into Thursday's game. "For us to be good, he has to be productive," Price said. "He's been a good hitter as by his First Team All-Big 12 Conference selection as a freshman a year ago, so we need him to keep making progress." - Edited by Pat Strathman "They have had an awesome year," Jacobs said. "Every year for me we would be the team that was always on the bubble and Monday would come and we wouldn't make it. So I was so happy to see that." Jacobs said the memories of her playing days came rushing back when she thought of the struggles the team has faced this year. 1 It has been 12 seasons since Kansas made the tournament, so this experience is uniting the alumni who still describe the team as "we" and started planning reunions by catching up through texts and tweets over the last several days. Jacobs and 2010 graduate Porscha Weddington keep in touch almost daily and they connected after the announcement. Jacobs said Weddington has been trying to get her back to Lawrence for an alumni weekend and this announcement made it seem more urgent. Weddington is finishing up graduate school at Kansas and has been LaChelda Jacobs, a 2010 graduate, wasn't watching, but found out through a tweet from fellow 2010 graduate Kelly Kohn. She grabbed her phone and sent coach Bonnie Henrickson a text. They were also entertained with the assignment to play Nebraska, a former Big 12 foe, in the game. Weddington talked about how assistant coach Tory Verdi coached at Nebraska for five years before coming to Kansas. Jacobs talked about the recent records like splitting the series last year and described the game as doble. Morris turned to strategy outlining the familiarity of the coaching staff and players. Donnie is a great cook, "Mr. is said. "She came here to turn the program around and that's what she's doing." All three players said they would tune in on Sunday night to watch the game. They will continue planning a reunion and cheering for the current team who carries the legacy of their program. From the early excitement of the tournament selection to the return of a series that has been played every season since 1974-75, these proud alumni are still cheering for their younger jayhawk counterparts. "It is definitely a doable game and I see them advancing on to the second round so I definitely have my fingers crossed," Jacobs said.

Many universities are mentioned in the drop-down menu, and KU is one of them. Students featured try to remove contact but are not authorized to do so. SOURCE: THEDIRTY.COM BEHAVING BADLY Anonymous commenters on "The Dirty" target athletes, greek life and other students LUKE RANKER lranker@kansan.com RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com It might shock a student to see their personal photos online with descriptions like 'desperate shore' or 'the biggest tool.' Those are some of the phrases used to describe University students on the Dirty, a website operated by Hooman Karmain since 2006. Karmain, also known as Nik Richie, allows anyone to post unflattering photos of people on his site, generally accompanied by lewd comments about the person's character. Karmain does not verify the accuracy of the posts, but occasionally adds comments of his own. The website features photos showing members of Kansas Athletics, sorority and fraternity members and other University students. Jim Marchiony, assistant athletics director, said he was disappointed that the website depicted University students in a negative manner. "We expect anyone representing the University to conduct themselves in an appropriate fashion," Marchiony said. "Those pictures do not represent that type of behavior." The the most recent photos featured members of the Rock Chalk Dance Team in 2010. Marchiony said the Dirty refused Kansas Athletics' request that the photos be removed. Zack McQuiston, vice president of the KU Interfraternity council, said posts showing members of campus fraternities are not reflective of the Greek community. "It's disappointing to see something like this," he said. "We try to foster a good relationship with the whole campus." McQuiston, a junior from Shawnee, said he does not want people to draw conclusions about the greek community based on the Dirty, and he does not endorse use of the website. He said complaints against the website should be handled on an individual basis. Tom Volek, associate professor of journalism, teaches a First Amendment law class and said the First Amendment protects Karmain's right to aggregate the pictures and posts. "No, you can't get it taken down," Volek said. "You can't tell me what to post on my website." However, Volek said he was not surprised that the Dirty and Karmain had been sued. On March 12, the Dirty won a lawsuit in a Kansas City, Mo. district court after a woman claimed that a post about her title "Nasty Church Girl" was defamatory and caused emotional distress. The court ruled that under the Communications Decency Act, Karmanin was not responsible because he did not create or alter the original post. Karmanin did add his own comment to post, describing the woman's gum line, but the court did not find his words to be defamatory. "Today was a solid day for my legal team not only in Kentucky court, but also with this victory in Missouri," Karmain wrote on the Dirty. "This order is not only strong for the future of the Dirty, but the future of the internet." The Dirty is currently appealing a lawsuit in Kentucky in which Sarah Jones, a high school teacher, complained that a post accused her of having sexually transmitted diseases and having sex at the school where she works. In the suit, Jones claimed that the post was destructive to her character. The judge in the Kentucky case ruled in her favor, saying the website is not immune under the CDA because it encourages offensive content and Karmain is therefore responsible for it. The court concluded that the comment Karmain added, saying "Why are all high school teachers freaks in the sack?" was defamatory. University students who have appeared on the Dirty declined to be interviewed. Attempts to contact Karmain were unsuccessful. Volek said he believed a case involving the Dirty could make it to the U.S. Supreme Court if Richie gained support from other online publishers who want a broad interpretation of the CDA to protect websites that post material provided by third parties. "It might sound cynical, but I think it's realistic," he said. "When there's a large sum of money involved it will go to appeal." - Edited by Ian Cummings CRIME No updates on serial rapist RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com A serial rapist's attacks in Lawrence and Manhattan during university breaks have prompted safety warnings to students in the past, but none have been issued this year. Warnings told students to exercise caution and remain aware of sexual assaults. The city of Lawrence, University officials and the Kansas Attorney General issued the warnings after the attorney general announced in March 2009 that six Lawrence rapes, seven Manhattan rapes and an attempted rape in Manhattan may be related, with the last known rape occurring in Lawrence in December 2008. The last warning issued to students about sexual assault was before the University's spring break last year. Captain Paul Fellers of the Lawrence police department said the "Sexual assault is very serious. It can and does happen at many different times during the year." Fellers said. "We do want people to be aware, but we don't want people to let their guard down just because spring break is over." The rapist is known to stalk his victims and is described as a white male between the age of 25 and 40. He is said to be between 5-foot-9 and six-feet tall and between 160 to 175 pounds. He covered his face during many of the attacks and had some sort of weapon at some of the attacks. The first known rape occurred during the fall of 2000 in Manhattan, and the first attack in Lawrence was July 2004. All of the victims in Lawrence were University students at the time of the attacks. agency does not only want students to be aware of sexual assault during break periods but at all times of the year. No public suspects have been "The investigation remains open and law enforcement will follow up on all leads," Jeff Wagaman said, Deputy Chief of Staff for the attorney general. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center cautions students to trust their instincts and to always alert someone if they are uncomfortable, even a building manager. identified in the case, but the attorney general's office said the case is still under investigation. "A lot of times I will call a friend when I walk alone, and I always lock all my doors," Tran said. "My parents have always taught me safety but being alone on campus and at home has definitely made me more aware of my surroundings." Theresa Tran, a junior from Liberty, Mo. said she heard about the case previously and always tried to follow safety tips.

Styled by Sherry Farrah, a freshman from Leawood, McElhaney walked down the runway wearing neutral, figure-flattering business casual wear. The audience and judges both voted the duo "Best in Show." TENNIS TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Ashley Estrada, a junior from Topeka, encouraged her client, Rebecca Faulkner, a senior from Austin, Texas, to take risks. Faulkner said she was normally self-conscious about showing too much skin, but Estrada's reassurance gave her the confidence to wear shorts.

Taja Loren, a senior from Kansas City, Kan, who styled Lamsdell, said finding clothing for her client was a challenge because of the limited selection of men's clothing in Lawrence's stores. He walked the runway in basics he could wear several different ways.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MARK RYAN Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is interviewed by Meygn Kelly during a segment of "America Live" on the Fox News Channel in New York on Wednesday. Romney received criticism for suggesting stopping funding Planned Parenthood. Romney corrects his controversy regarding Planned Parenthood ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A coordinated attack by Democrats on Mitt Romney's plan to "get rid of" Planned Parenthood to help balance the federal budget is part of a larger campaign to ensure that Romney and other Republicans lose credibility with female voters. Facing continued conservative skepticism, Romney has been pushed further to the right to appeal to his party's right flank. In doing so, he risks alienating key constituencies — women and The Romney campaign contends that the remark has been taken out of context. Yet even the debate over what Romney meant or didn't mean underscores the political peril he faces as the GOP nomination fight rages on. independents, among them while drawing unwanted attention to his inconsistent positions on social issues. The Planned Parenthood controversy stems from a recent interview with a Missouri television station in which Romney addressed his plans to cut the federal deficit. "Its the program so critical that it is worth borrowing money from China to pay for it?" Romney asked. "And on that basis, of course you get rid of ObamaCare, that's the easy one. But there are others: Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that. The subsidy for Amtrak, 1 would eliminate that. The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, both excellent programs, but we can't afford to borrow money to pay for these things." Asked to clarify the Planned Parenthood reference hours after the report aired, top Romney campaign adviser aired Fehrnstrom said Romney did not mean to suggest his administration would eliminate the women's health care provider altogether. Indeed, in remarks before and after the Missouri interview, Romney indicated he would focus on eliminating the organization's federal funding, as Republicans in Washington and in state legislatures across the country have fought to do in recent months. "It would not be getting rid of the organization," Fehrnstrom said. "They have other sources of funding besides government appropriations, but in order to achieve balance, we have to make some tough decisions about spending." STEP YOUR GAME UP!

Udaltsov was detained after Saturday's opposition rally while trying to lead his followers in a march and charged with disobeying police. MOSCOW — A Russian court has sentenced an opposition leader to a 10-day jail term for disobeying police during an anti-Kremlin rally earlier this month. Sergei Udaltsov of the Left Front movement said Thursday he would appeal the sentence by Moscow's Presensky district court and declared a hunger strike. He has been detained dozens of times in the past several years and has spent several months in jail, Udaltsov repeatedly went on hunger strikes, prompting supporters concerns about his health. Udaaltsov, 35, played a key role in organizing a series of opposition protests in Moscow that drew tens of thousands to protest Vladimir Putin's rule. Also Thursday, another protest leader Alexei Navalny was fined 1,000 rubles (the equivalent of $33) for disobey- police orders at the rally Udaitsov helped organize. Last Saturday, about 10,000 protesters flocked to a central Moscow avenue to demand Vladimir Putin's resignation and protest electoral fraud. The rally had been widely seen as a test of whether the opposition is able to maintain its strength after Prime Minister Putin won a return to the Kremlin. The turnout was in stark contrast to winter election protests which attracted up to 100,000 people in the largest discontent in Russia's post-Soviet history. Putin, Russia's president in 2000-2008, had to step down in 2008 to avoid the terms' limitations. He won 64 percent of the vote on Sunday and is set to stay in the Kremlin for the next 6 years. NORTH AMERICA Police seize record amount of opiates MEXICO CITY — The Mexican army said Wednesday that it has made a record seizure of opiates, about 3.6 metric tons of a dark liquid that contains heroin. Experts said the liquid may be opium paste being processed into heroin. A Mexican Defense Department press statement called it "the most important seizure of this drug in the history of the army and air force." Authorities did not say how much heroin it would produce, but in general a kilogram of opium paste can yield about one-tenth as much of the drug. The largest previous seizure of opiates was 245 kilograms (540 pounds) of opium paste found in Guerrero in January 2011. The Defense Department had said that seizure would have yielded over 600,000 doses of heroin. The latest seizure was made when soldiers found dozens of large plastic containers with over 3,600 liters of the dark liquid on Feb. 1 during a raid on a drug lab in Coyuca de Catalan, a mountain town in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero, near the border with Michoacan, the department said Wednesday The department did not explain why the seizure was not made public for over a month, but noted that in order to accurately identify the liquid, it had referred the substance to civilian prosecutors for tests. MIDDLE EAST Swiss couple held by Taliban released ISLAMABAD — A Swiss couple held captive for nearly a year by the Taliban in Pakistan turned up at an army post close to the Afghan border on Thursday, claiming to have escaped from their captors, the Pakistani army said. They were swiftly flown to safety by the military. Taliban commanders said a ransom was paid in exchange for the release of the man and woman. David Och and Daniela Widmer, smiling and looking healthy, briefly waved for waiting cameras at a military airbase close to the Pakistani before getting into a van. The couple, who were apparently on holiday in the country, were seized in July in the southwest province of Bauluchistan. They appeared in a militant video in October, saying their captors were threatening to kill them. Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said the couple showed up at an army post in Miran Shah in North Waziristan, an al-Qaida and Taliban stronghold. He said the couple was then flown to Peshawar, the main city in northwestern Pakistan, on an army helicopter. "They say they escaped from the custody of militants," he said. Two local Pakistani Taliban commanders said the couple had been freed, but only after an undisclosed ransom had been paid and some Taliban prisoners were released from Pakistani custody. They refused to give their names. AFRICA BIRMINGHABAD - A medical staff member tends to a patient in the hospital. ASSOCIATED PRESS In this Oct. 24, 2011, file photo, a man receives treatment after being injured in a grenade attack at a bus stop in Nairobi, Kenya. The Pentagon's JointImproved Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) says that bomb attacks in Nigeria, Kenya and Somalia became more frequent and deadly in 2011, as al-Qaida-affiliated terror groups used more sophisticated devices to kill more people with each explosion. Deadlier bombs being used in Africa Militants last year began using a deadlier type of bomb known as a shaped charge for the first time NAIROBI, Kenya — Bomb attacks in Nigeria, Kenya and Somalia rose in 2011 as al-Qaida-affiliated terror groups used more sophisticated devices to kill more people with each explosion, the Pentagon's anti-IIED unit said. Nigeria saw a nearly fourfold jump in the number of improvised explosive device incidents last year, while Kenya saw an 86 percent increase, according to the unit. Indorscoring the threat, both nations saw deadly blasts last weekend. A car bomb attack on a church during Mass in Nigeria and grenades thrown at Kenyans as they waited at a crowded bus stop. in both Somalia and Nigeria, John Myrick, a U.S. military bomb expert said. Advanced bomb-makers use shaped charges to increase the force of a bomb so that it can penetrate armor. Such deadly explosives were used repeatedly by militants at the height of the Iraq war, and to a lesser extent in Afghanistan. While Somalia saw only a small increase in attacks, the newer technology lead to greater casualties and deeper impact on Africa Union forces, Myrick said. On Wednesday, a suicide bomb attack aimed at the main government compound in Mogadishu killed at least three people, said the spokesman for the African Union force known as AMISOM.

CHICAGO — A new agreement with the Chicago Park District announced Wednesday will extend Lollapalooza's stay in Grant Park through at least 2021, while requiring the promoters to pay millions in annual city and county amusement taxes and state liquor taxes for the first time. Though it bolsters government revenue, the deal will likely mean that festivalgoers will pay more for tickets.

MOVIES The revival of 'American Pie' LOS ANGELES — The world has certain immutable laws. Once you go bald and kids at convenience stores start calling you "sir," your days as a hipster are over. It's the same thing with movie franchises — once they lose their box-office sizzle and begin showing up in direct-to-DVD bins, they ain't coming back to the multiplex. MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Until now, that is. It was nearly 13 years ago that Universal Pictures had a surprise hit with "American Pie," a giddy, raunchy R-rated comedy that revolved around a scheme hatched by four teenage boys to lose their virginity before they graduated from high school. Opening in July 1999, the low-budget film made more than $100 million in the U.S. and $133 million more overseas. Buoyed by a wave of admiring press coverage, the film gave birth to a new cycle of R-rated comedies and served as a launching pad for its young filmmakers, Chris and Paul Weitz, who have gone on to make films as varied as "About a Boy," which they directed together, and solo efforts such as "Little Fockers." "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and "A Better Life." "American Pie" was a rare commodity — an R-rated teen comedy franchise. Universal released two sequels, which each made more than $100 million in the U.S. And even after most of the original cast members moved on, the studio kept the franchise alive in home video, churning out four low-budget direct-to-DVD spinoffs under the "American Pie presents" brand. A strange thing happened, though, in the direct-to-DVD underworld. Universal continued to treat the films as a franchise, spending millions on TV advertising and wooing a new generation. Instead of losing cachet, the The new $50-million film reunites the original cast, now playing young thirtysomethings, returning to the mythical hamlet of East Great Falls, Mich., for a high school reunion. DVD series flourished, selling millions of units. The payoff? Universal is bringing the series back to the big screen April 6 with the release of "American Reunion." "When the franchise was in its direct-to-DVD run, we learned that the brand had really established itself, not just with the original viewers but with young people who'd never seen the films in a movie theater," says Universal Pictures Chairman Adam Fogelson, a young ad executive at the studio when the series debuted. "So we don't believe we have to introduce an entire generation to the film — it has lived on in the culture." Although Universal has struggled to create the kind of A-list franchises that, for its rivals, are financial bonanzas, executives at the studio thought it wasn't entirely improbable that they could revive a franchise that had been out of theaters for years. But the key ingredient in the release of "American Reunion" involves a lesson Universal learned from one of its own films. The studio had nearly resigned itself to taking its flagging "Fast and Furious" franchise to direct-to-DVD when the Universal team, along with the films' producer, Neal Moritz, decided to reunite the original "Fast" cast for a fourth film. The result, 2009's "Fast & Furious," outperformed the first three films and rejuvenated the entire series. The fifth installment, "Fast 5," took in $628 million worldwide last year, and sixth and seventh installments are planned. PAGE 4 EARN UP TO $50 TODAY, $100 THIS WEEK! DONATE PLASMA.

"I've been away four years." NEW YORK — Ashanti is ready to write the next chapter of her career. And it's going to be a doozy. However, "The Woman You Love" is already climbing the hip-hop/R&B charts and the process of returning to regular radio rotation should get much easier once programmers and, more important, her fan base get to hear what she's been up to when the album comes out April 17. Ashanti has several tracks that are far more pop-oriented than ones she's had in the past, especially the bubbly "Perfect So Far," which welds a hip-hop vibe to an upbeat, Motown-influenced bass line to create an irresistibly fun future single. At a recent listening session, the Glen Cove, N.Y., native previewed songs from her upcoming "Braveheart" — the first release on her own Written Entertainment label and distributed by eOne Music — and showed that she is ready for a full-return to music. Ashanti also pushes the envelope in other directions. "This is my street song," she says, cung up the edgy hip-hop anthem "Get It," produced by Cool & Dre, longtime collaborators with Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe. The song features a hard groove and the most adult language she has used on record, but it's also catchy enough to be booming out of cars all summer long.

Everyone can see you checking yourself out in the Budig windows. GOVERNMENT I just overheard a girl say; "I just got stood up by my midterm." It's OK, girl, I wouldn't take it personally. As the Syrian uprising continues, the US and other nations must determine if they will step in Against intervention The use of violence by the al-Assad regime against the Syrian opposition is atrocious. Every day, innocent people caught in the middle in towns like the now-famous Homs are killed by government forces. According to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, al-Assad's regime and his secret police routinely use torture, imprisonment and murder against those who speak out against the government. However, this doesn't mean that the United States should bow down to calls from the international community and intervene militarily. Perhaps because of the success of the Libyan operation this past year, several international leaders have called for a U.S.-led suppression of the Syrian military and al-Assad's regime. But such an action poses problems, and the Syrian government is still supported by nations such as Russia and China. By Billy McCroy bmccroy@kansan.com We should find a way to end this violence. The Al-Assad regime has been using force to quell opposition for nearly five decades, and it is time that the global community did something about it. However, it is not the duty of the U.S. military to police the world. Unless we are given support and all avenues of diplomacy have been exhausted, the men and women of the United states military should not be sent to Syria. RESPONSES: (PRED'S ARGUMENTS ARE IN ITALICS. MCGROY'S RE- SPONSES ARE BELOW.) We should intervene in Syria to prevent atrocities from escalating to the levels of the Holocaust, Bosnia or Rwanda. There have been several incidents in which U.S. military intervention did the opposite of bringing an end to violence. Somalia is the best example from the past 20 years. Our military intervention in Mogadishu served no purpose, got American soldiers killed and gave the ruling warlords a perfect public relations victory. American troops were sent in October of 1993, and Somalia is still a war-torn nation. If mass human rights violations are continuously met with swift force, the likelihood of them occurring will decrease. This isn't necessarily true. When force is met with force, the results tend to be revenge, violence and further blood-shed. At this time in our nation's foreign affairs situation, it would be best to weigh all of the different diplomatic avenues before resorting to matching violence with violence. To honor and enforce international law. Appealing to international law is an unrealistic response to an oppressive regime that puts little value on human rights. And the rule of international law will only come to bear on al-Assad if and when he is captured. We would want someone to step in if our government was committing atrocities against ur We would certainly not want any outside actor, state or non-state, to step in and violate our right of national sovereignty. We have never, nor will we ever, allow another nation or body of nations to dictate how we run our country. There are several nations within the international community that, time and again, try to undermine our government. We would not allow another nation to govern our national interests, and we should remember that when attempting to do the same. McCray is a senior in economics from Des Moines, Iowa. ARTS Kansans must preserve art through proper budgeting The Kansas Arts Commission must be funded adequately — either by the state of Kansas or by the people of Kansas — because the arts are important and we cannot afford to lose them. The arts are important because they preserve and communicate culture while enhancing our lives. Each culture has its own artwork, music, dancing, literature, stories and poems. However, as time passes, there is concern that culture will be lost. Former cultures fade as social groups are broken up and new social groups are formed. The arts prevent total elimination of those cultures. Cultures that otherwise might fade are kept alive by preservation of their arts. The arts are also important because they also help us appreciate and understand other cultures. The arts transmit culture between peoples and to future generations. What makes the arts special is their ability to share culture and keep culture alive in a way that people cannot. Arts can span racial, social, educational and economic differences. Without funding for the arts, our exposure to other cultures will be limited. We all have had the opportunity to enjoy an art exhibit, or listen to a symphony, or watch a play or musical. These opportunities give us a chance to relax and provide another form of entertainment for us. Because the arts are important, it is crucial that they are properly funded. However, under current policy proposals, it does not appear that will happen. Last year, Kansas became infamous as the only By Matthew Nygaard mnygaard@kansan.com state to defund the arts, when Gov. Sam Brownback vetored $689,000 of funding for the Kansas Arts Commission. Because of the veto, Kansas also lost $1.3 million in matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-American Arts Alliance. Sarah Carkhuff Fizell, a spokeswoman for Kansas Citizens for the Arts, said the first step in helping the arts commission is to "get state funding back." It appears that some state legislators may be open to this. Gov. Brownback has proposed giving at least limited state funding back to the Kansas Arts Commission through a proposal that would merge the KAC with the Kansas Film Commission. The two commissions would receive only $200,000 total, much less than the $698,000. For intervention The KAC is trying to increase its budget through fundraising. The Kansas House has approved a checkbox on state income tax forms that would allow people to donate to the KAC when filing their taxes. The KAC is also selling license plates that say "State of the Arts" on them. You can view them at the Kansas Arts Commission website at arts. ks.gov. But the arts commission will probably continue to rely on public funding. funding. The KAC money would likely be used differently to satisfy those requirements. Perhaps more importantly, Brownback's proposal would place both commissions under the Kansas Department of Commerce. They would be required to show a return on the state's investment or lose By Gabby Pred gpred@kansan.com The state should fund arts, and cutting them was a mistake. We also need to take responsibility for the issues and causes we believe are important, and that includes making private donations. budget vetoed last year. Some in the arts community are dissatisfied with the limited funding. Sen. Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence) said that around $800,000 would be necessary to make this a workable plan. "Cultures that otherwise might fade are kept away by preservation of their arts." Now, I know that right now or going out every weekend. Consider donating even a small amount to the Kansas Arts Commission while you are in school. If you decide you cannot donate while you're in college, make it a priority to support the arts once you graduate and get a job. The arts certainly need our support now and will likely need it in the future as well. Nygaard is a third-year law student from Appleton, Wis. we are all poor college students and may not have money to donate. But think about how much money you spend every week at Starbucks Syrian Pres. Bashar Al-Assad's regime is ruthlessly murdering its own citizens. The United Nations puts the most recent death toll at 7,500. The inaction of the U.N. Security Council raises this question: Should the U.S. be intervening in other countries for humanitarian purposes? for humanitarian purposes. After the Holocaust and other atrocities of World War II, the world said "Never again," and made a commitment to stopping these massive human rights violations from ever taking place again, through internationally binding treaties and conventions. When we ignore these grievances, as we did in Rwanda, it brings immense hardship to the country through loss of life, economic degradation and an adverse affect of the psyche of the citizens. We end up pouring large amounts of money in aid to these countries to rebuild instead of halting the problem before it escalates out of control. It also reinforces the behavior, sending the message that a government or group can commit these violations and face no consequence. Whether it's an ethnic conflict or a tyrannical ruler looking to suppress an opposition, we need to not only verbally condemn large-scale killings and other human rights violations, but also take action if diplomacy and negotiations fail. I can only imagine the terror the people in Syria are experiencing daily, wondering why no one is stepping in and stopping al-Assad's killing campaign. Its very easy to say we need to focus on domestic issues. However, if the shoe was on the other foot, wouldn't we want some outside force to help stop a regime that was killing thousands of us? RESPONSES: (MCCROY'S ARGUMENTS ARE IN ITALICS. PRED'S RESPONSES ARE BELOW.) Our military is overstretched as it is. At a time when the military's budget is being cut, we shouldn't send in troops unless they are properly equipped and well-supplied. As proven in Libya, a humanitarian intervention can consist of a swift air campaign with nearly no troops on the ground. No one is suggesting a pricey or lengthy occupation. All the diplomatic options have not yet been exhausted. Only after that should we use military force. I agree that diplomatic means are always first and foremost and that intervention should be a last resort. Unfortunately, sanctions and pressure often will not be enough and we watch thousands of people die while waiting for them to make a difference. There is a double standard in the Middle East. How is it that we're so quick to send troops into Syria, yet we sit back and let Israel do what it wants to the Palestinians? We didn't talk about sending in troops when Israel intercepted the Turkish aid flotilla in May of 2010. There is no double standard. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is vastly different from the situation in Syria. I am not advocating humanitarian intervention in response to every action that's illegal under international law, only the large-scale human rights violations such as mass killings and genocide. We must respect sovereignty. We wouldn't allow another nation to send a military force into our country. Again, you cannot compare the two situations. Syria is not behaving like America, and if our government suddenly started murdering thousands of us, then we would want another state to step in. The United States military is not the world's police force. We cannot continue to spend our money and put our troops in harm's way as the rest of the world refuses to take action. The inaction of other countries cannot be used to defend our own. If you see a wrong being committed, should you do nothing because everyone else is doing nothing? We, as Americans, don't have to be the world's police force. But we, as fellow human beings, should offer our help to others in desperate need of it.

PAGE 6 FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN STUDENT SENATE Senate approves rights changes VIRALAMIN vamin@kansan.com Student Senate approved a mandatory $15.05 student-fee increase per semester and a few changes to the Student Codes of Rights and Responsibilities at its meeting on Wednesday. The fee increase is due to inflation and maintenance costs. The money will help maintain services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center and Legal Services for Students. In addition, the fee will add a blue SafeBus route to south-west Lawrence. Josh Dean, Finance Committee chairman, said the fee increase will benefit students. "The $15 increase ensures that our students continue to have access to these services that will make their life easier," Dean said. "It means they don't have to go to private doctors. They don't have to have a gym membership. They don't have to own a car. That's what we are really paying to maintain." The changes to the Students Codes of Rights and Responsibilities were mainly made to update and simplify the code. Now, when students commit a housing violation, they do not have to go through two processes. This allows violations to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Article 8 of the code on campus expression was updated, and expands student's freedom of speech. Students cannot be punished for what is said on social media websites or through other online communication unless it is disruptive to the University's operations. Article 16 will eliminate a statement in regards to students publication. The amendment will remove the sentence "Similar freedom must be assured for the oral statement of views on all University-controlled radio and television stations." Aaron Harris, the rights committee chairman, said this will help clean up the article. "We left it to be implied that all forms of student press are free from censorship. Before it said that TV stations and radio stations would be free from censorship, now we are making sure student press is free of censorship" Harris said. Two amendments, however, failed to gain support from Student Senate. The first would have allowed University housing officials to be able to walk into a University housing room without prior notice if they thought rules were being violated. Currently, residents have the option to prevent University housing officials from entering their room, unless it is an emergency. "We were not willing to give that concession to the University," Harris said. "That has been three years in a row we have not given that concession." The other amendment that failed would have allowed the University to discipline students off campus. Currently, Article 20 states the University cannot discipline students unless a violation of the code takes place in the University or at a University-sponsored event. The Students Codes of Rights and Responsibilities will be officially updated once Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little signs off on the changes. — Edited by Katie James BILL TO FUND LINE ITEM BUDGET Student fee increase of $15.05 per semester starting fall 2012 BILL TO FUND INTERNATIONAL FAMILY ASSOCIATION MAGAZINE $1,410 Printing and other funding for the annual "People of KU" magazine for international students BILL TO RENOVATE WESCOE BEACH the bill is passed. $100,000: Funds coming from the Student Senate reserve account for improvements to Wescoe Beach, including added lighting; University administration will contribute $150,000 if Committees: Finance, University Affairs BILL TO AMEND THE STUDENT CODE OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES SPRING BREAK Extends protections to students' speech online and simplifies the code and disciplinary process.

But the three most popular spring break destinations Gulf Shores, Ala., Panama City, Fla., and South Padre Island, Texas, can also be the most expensive Both Panama City and South Padre Island are ranked among the most expensive spring break destinations this year, according to a recent survey by CheapHotels.com. Gulf Shores Panama City South Padre Zach Procak, a sophomore from Sun Prairie, Wis., said he would spend around $600 on his trip to Panama City, including transportation, housing expenses, food and miscellaneous costs. Procak said he is vacationing with a group of eight people and they would split the costs evenly. said. "You never really know how much you'll spend." "I would say the most expensive part of spring break is housing or extra spending money," Procak Kylee Brooks, a freshman from Overland Park, said she estimates she will spend $1,000 on her trip to Gulf Shores, Ala. Brooks said the house where she will be staying with 11 other women costs $267 per person to rent, but she considers this to be a relatively good deal. Brooks has spent about $200 on new items for the trip, including a new swimsuit and sunglasses, so she can leave her more valuable items at home. "I have never been on a spring break trip, but I heard it can be pretty crazy," Brooks said. "I wouldn't want to lose anything, so I bought cheap alternatives instead." Kelsey Ball, a sophomore from Wichita, said she would spend about $600 on her trip to South Padre Island. Ball is staying in a hotel that costs $225 a night per person and has complimentary breakfast and lunch. "All of my friends talked about going to the Gulf Shores or Panama City," Ball said. "But after discussing expenses, we decided to branch out to make things cheaper." Ball said that by choosing a hotel instead of a house, she and her friends were able to cut their food expenses drastically, which lowered the total cost of the trip. "Spring break expenses can get out of hand if you are not careful," Ball said. Kristi Gramlich, a junior from Overland Park, went to the Gulf Shores last year and spent around $600. "I was able to keep my cost down to $600, because I was frugal about my spending." Gramlich said. "Some of the girls I went with would eat out every night and buy souvenirs, which are things I avoided." Gramlich said there are ways to keep costs down during spring break, such as ordering something cheaper when eating out, buying alcohol as a group and spending less or nothing on souvenirs.

The lipstick-sized product went on the market last month in Massachusetts and New York and is also available in France. A single unit costs $2.99 at convenience stores. Caffeine intake rises on campus during exam weeks, with sales of caffeinated beverages tripling at The Hawk Shop. Caffeine keeps research buzzing "During finals week, there's definitely an increase in energy drink sales due to students needing to cram and stay awake to get everything done." Terry said. "Caffeine is a drug that increases alertness," said Ann Chapman, dietician for the University. "That's why it's popular." While Chapman said that a daily intake of 200 milligrams to 300 milligrams of caffeine is OK for students, every person's tolerance is different. Too much caffeine can result in headaches, jitteriness, irritation and sleep deprivation, she said. One cup of coffee can have between 100 milligrams to 200 milligrams of caffeine; a 5-hour Energy shot has 148 milligrams; and most 12-ounce cans of pop have around 40 milligrams, according to Medicinenet. Aeroshot is the most recent caffeine supplement to hit the market. It was introduced by Breathable Foods last month. The lipstick-sized container packs 100 milligrams of caffeine per puff. Dawn Terry, an employee for The Hawk Shop at the Burge Union, said that sales of caffeinated beverages nearly triple during finals week. MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com In the past 10 years, energy drinks loaded with caffeine have become a staple of college life to some, especially during midterms and finals week. While there is little harm in consuming caffeine in moderation, too much can pose challenges to students' wellness. For those wanting to decrease their caffeine intake without feeling drowsy throughout the day, Chapman recommends getting more sleep and eating almonds instead. Research has shown that protein in almonds stimulates insulin production, she said. "The problem is if it becomes a habit, it can compromise your health," Chapman said. To improve sleep quality, Chapman recommends avoiding caffeinated products four to six hours before going to bed and avoiding pulling all-nighters.

Vikaas Shanker 3 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012 PAGE 7 KANSAS TIPOFF KU AT A GLANCE A date with Kentucky in Madison Square Garden. A trip to Hawaii to face Duke. Two instant classics against Missouri. A Big 12 regular season championship. All were special, but to coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks, these events of the past don't mean nearly as much as what starts tonight. It's finally time for the NCAA tournament, fondly known as March Madness to America. The brackets have been filled out, and the time is now. It all starts for Kansas with Detroit, a No. 15 seed that can match most teams in athleticism. Junior forward Thomas Robinson is likely off to the NBA after this season, and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor will graduate. For these two leaders, it's their last go with the Jayhawks. Will it end with a heartbreak or a championship? PLAYER TO WATCH Thomas Robinson, junior forward In future games, Withey or junior guards Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson may be the ones to watch. But in this opening- round game Robinson against Detroit, it's Robinson who must be keyed on. In the Big 12 tournament loss to Baylor, Robinson scored 15 points and had brief moments of dominance. However, for much of the game he was lackadaisical. If he wants to consider himself a true leader of this team and one of the best players in the country, he should be able to prove it from the start. How far can Kansas go? QUESTION MARK With Robinson and Taylor, two of the most talented players in the country, one may think that the Jayhawks have a real shot at a national title. But with little depth behind them, foul trouble, an injury or a cold streak could end their tournament run fast. There are several variables to consider when assessing Kansas' vitality in the tournament. One of the most important variables is junior center Jeff Withey, who has shown flashes of both brilliance and ineptitude. If Withey can disrupt opposing offenses and play tough inside, he gives the Jayhawks a necessary third threat. If he proves ineffective, whether it's a match-up issue, lack of aggression or foul trouble, Kansas may fall short of its ultimate goal. "Just because of my situation, I feel like I have to have a deeper purpose to play for." HEAR YE, HEAR YE Thomas Robinson, junior forward BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF ... Kansas blows out Detroit to a large enough degree that television sets across the country switch to other action. COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY The beginning of the Madness Kansas' fate falls on Robinson and Taylor NO.2 KANSAS VS.NO.15 DETROIT 8:57 P.M., CENTURYLINK CENTER, OMAHA,NEB. KANSAS (27-6,16-2) STARTERS Taylor M. DAVID AYES Johnson Releford JOHN BESSON PETER JONES TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD If you haven't paid close attention, Taylor is this team's second fiddle. If you've watched closely, you know that he's every bit as important to this team's success as Robinson. By creating space for he and teammates and bringing life to Kansas with circus shots and beautiful, arcing threes, Taylor has been the man this season. Robinson PRESIDENT ★★★★★ ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD What will the tournament bring out of Johnson? Will it be more like the 26 points he dropped on the Aggies last week in Kansas City, Mo., or the goose egg he posted against Florida Atlantic on Nov. 30? Johnson is perhaps the least-predictable Jayhawk, but his importance to the team is paramount. He defends well and saves Taylor's energy by occasionally taking over point-guard duties. ★★★☆☆ TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD Withey Releford badly needs to shut someone down. He loves to stop the opposing team's best player, but he simply hasn't succeeded in the past few weeks. That was highlighted by Texas' J Covan Brown's 33 points in Allen Fieldhouse on March 3. Self will keep his eye on Releford and ensure that the effort never ceases. Y. BERLIN THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD He's only a junior, but consider this tournament Robinson's last hurrah. He will almost certainly go to the NBA after this season, so the question now has got to be: Can he really lead this team to a title? The pieces are there, but can it really happen? Starting tonight, with Robinson at the helm, we'll start to find out. ★★★☆☆ ★★★★ For all of the incredible talents of Taylor and Robinson, few possess what Withey can bring to the table. He's 7 feet tall, agile and has great timing. Most teams have nothing close to that. If he can become a mismatch and avoid disappearing from games, Kansas' title chances suddenly skyrocket. JEFF WITHEY, CENTER ★★☆☆ DETROIT (23-13, 11-7) STARTERS RAY MCCALLUM, GUARD Lowe is se rebounds p ta w He siz KANSAS 15 McCallum will be the only McDonald's High School All-American on the court in Omaha tonight. He was recruited by a number of high-profile schools. His decision to play for his father gave the Titans instant credibility in the Horizon League, and his performance, with 15.6 points per game, hasn't disappointed. DETROIT McCallum JASON CALLISTE, GUARD CHASE SIMON. GUARD Simon averaged 13.5 points last season and reached the 1,000-point mark for his career early on this season. He averages an identical 13.5 points per game this season as a senior and is the team's second-leading scorer. The Detroit native has been quiet his last two games with only 6.5 points, but in three of his four games before, he had at least 17 points. ★★★☆☆ ★★★★★ Calliste LAKERS DETROIT DOUG ANDERSON, FORWARD The junior guard averages 10.4 points per game this season and had 17 points against Valparaiso in the Horizon League tournament championship last week. It was his fifth game with more than 15 points, but Calliste has struggled against BCS conference opponents this season. He averaged just 6.2 points in those four games. Anderson is in his first season at Detroit after leading Mott Community College to the finals of the NJCAA tournament last season. He averaged 15.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in two seasons at Mott and was a top 40 junior college recruit, according to rivals.com. He averages 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds this season. Simon ★★★☆☆ ★★★☆ 10 BETRONS Anderson LAMARCUS LOWE, FORWARD Lowe is second on the Titans with 4.9 rebounds per game. At 6-foot-10, he'll be tasked with guarding Jeff Withey when both players are in the game. He's the only legitimate big man with size in the Titans' starting lineup. While he's not a natural scorer, his defense will play a big part in tonight's outcome. I PHOTO BY CH DETROIT MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com ★★☆★★ Lowe Elijah Johnson PHOTO BY CHRIS NEAL KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com KU Prediction Kansas 84,Detroit 69 DETROIT THUNKS DETROIT TIPOFF CINCINNATI TITANS AT A GLANCE Detroit finished behind Youngstown State and Valparaiso in the Horizon League regular season but defeated both teams last week on its way to the conference tournament championship. The Titans were just 11-7 in conference play and needed the conference tournament title to earn an NCAA tournament bid, their first since 1999. They earned a No. 12 seed in the 1999 tournament and defeated UCLA in the first round, 56-53. The Titans feature five players who average double digits and have one of the best players in the Horizon League — sophomore guard Ray McCallum. His dad, also Ray McCallum, is in his fourth season as Detroit's head coach and has experienced his most success this season with 22 victories. PLAYER TO WATCH Ray McCallum, sophomore guard DETROIT McCallum McCallum isn't the average Horizon League player. He was a McDonald's High School All-American as a high school senior and chose to play for his dad at Detroit rather than Arizona, UCLA and Kansas among others. Self said he and his staff recruited McCallum early on but had the feeling he would choose to stay at home. Last season, McCallum became the first Detroit true freshman to be named to an All-Horizon League team. He led the Titans in scoring last year as well as this season. He averages 15.6 points per game. QUESTION MARK Can Detroit overcome the odds? No. I'm not just talking about the odds of upsetting Kansas. I'm talking about overcoming the odds of using the completely wrong recipe for an upset and hoping for an upset. Let's look at a pair of Kansas recent disappointing NCAA tournament losses. Last season against VCU, the Rams hit 12 of 25 from three-point range. In 2010, Northern Iowa hit nine three-pointers. Detroit makes just 4.6 three-pointers per game. Slowing the game down to a snail's pace and limiting possessions is also a good tactic. The Titans, however, aren't incredibly slow. At 67.4 possessions per game, they're right in the middle of the pack nationally. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "Robinson? I can handle Robinson. He has to handle me." Senior center Eli Holman on facing Thomas Robinson. BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ... The Titans give the Jayhawks a scare like the Syracuse Orange got yesterday against UNC Ashville. PAGE 8 FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT PREVIEW COMMENTARY Notice women's games NCAA TOURNAMENT 2012 By Hannah Wise hwise@kansan.com Monday evening, I sat in my apartment watching the ESPN women's Monday evening, I m apartment using the ESPN women's NCAA Tournament selection show. A few miles away, the Kansas women' s team sat in the Naismith Room of Allen Fieldhouse waiting to hear if they would make the tournament or play in the WNIT. The regions were narrowed down. Only the Des Moines section of the bracket was left. The No. 1 team was announced: Kansas. I felt a sense of release. I was elated. For some reason, I felt like I should call my mom to let her know how fantastic this was. Why such joy for a women's basketball team, you may ask. The answer is simple. As a designer at the Kansan, I have watched the entire season from afar. I read through every stat, saw every photo, skimmed through every story — all this to see how best to highlight the key moments of each and every game. This Kansas women's basketball team was projected to do well. At the beginning of the season, the team went on a nine-game winning streak. Kansas dropped a game to Alabama in 80-76 defeat. Then, the team began a five-game winning streak, including a 72-67 victory against Texas in Austin. Keep it close. Hold on to it until Sunday. Flip on ESPN2 at 6:50 p.m. The women are taking on Nebraska in Little Rock, Ark. It should be an interesting game. From what I've seen, the women play better away. After all, it is March. You never know what could happen. I think it is a fair bet that many students have never attended a Kansas women's basketball game. But this is your time to show your support for the women. The men play Detroit tonight at approximately 9, but hold on to the excited feeling in the pit of your stomach. After the Davis injury, the team was obviously shaken. I could see it in the photos and stats that came across my computer screen. I could see that the team had lost a leader and the women were trying to find someone who would fill Davis' role. Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner stepped up to play in the post for Davis. The team was rebuilding and developing a playing identity without Davis on the court. After that weekend in Texas, the season was rocky, but the team and coach Bonnie Henrickson still had NCAA tournament chances. The team essentially hit rock bottom mentally when junior forward Carolyn Davis dislocated her knee and tore her ACL Feb. 12 in the Jayhawk's 47-43 defeat to Kansas State. Meanwhile, students on campus were relatively oblivious to what the women's team was doing. I doubt many knew or cared that the women were still being talked about as an NCAA tournament team. The men's basketball team was gearing up for the final Border Showdown against Missouri. Fast-forward to this Monday. The campus' focus was on the No. 2 men's team, not on the group of women's basketball players, coaches and supporters waiting to hear the news. The news came across the screen: Both men's and women's basketball teams would compete in the NCAA tournament. Edited by Katie James 13 Freshman guard Asia Boyd lifts up junior guard Angel Goodrich in excitement after ESPN announced Kansas's No. 11 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks will face Nebraska at 6:50 p.m. Sunday in Little Rock, Ark. The game will be aired on ESPN2. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Henrickson downplays tourney pressure KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Freshman forward Bunny Williams was looking for a partner for a shooting drill in practice. She looked to the sidelines and asked coach Bonnie Henrickson to join her. Henrickson jumped in, but kept freshman guard Asia Boyd on hand as a potential substitute. Since their selection to the NCAA Tournament on Monday night, the Jayhawks' practices and locker room have been more lighthearted and fun. However, Henrickson ensures that when they need to work, her players are focused and attentive. "We've been cheering in the locker room, just ready to go to In the first round of the tournament, Kansas will face former Big 12 Conference foe Nebraska at 6:50 p.m. in Little Rock, Ark. The two teams split the series last year and the coaches have stayed close. Little Rock," freshman forward Chelsea Gardner said. After junior forward Carolyn Davis' ACL injury, Nebraska coach Connie Yori was one of the first people to text her condolences to Henrickson. The two also ran into each other while recruiting in Wichita last weekend and sat down to swap stories from the season. Kansas also has another connection with Nebraska, through assistant coach Tory Verdi, who coached with Yori for five years Nebraska won the first matchup last season in overtime, but Kansas avenged the loss by turning around and winning in Lawrence. Nebraska point guard Lindsey Moore and power forward Jordan Hooper are the two players Kansas is most concerned about. at Nebraska before moving to Kansas. Moore and Kansas guard Angel Goodrich are both finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which honors the top point guard in the nation. Moore caused trouble last season against Kansas, scoring 23 and 33 points in the teams' two meetings. "We know how they play, and I know a lot of the girls on the team, so this will be a match-up," Sutherland said. Hooper can catch and drive, but also pull back and shoot three-pointers. Yori has added six freshmen to the team, five of whom play consistent minutes for the Huskers. Kansas also has five freshmen on the team, with two of them starting and the other three coming off the bench. Gardner said she is working on guarding the three-point line, since Hooper and other forwards can step out and knock down shots from long range. The Huskers average seven of 24 from the three-point line per game. "I just need to step up and be more of a defender, guard the three and just work hard." Gardner said. Kansas will be competing in its first NCAA Tournament appearance under Henrickson and the program's first appearance since 2000. Henrickson said the team has stayed loose and has become used to playing under duress this season, with strong performances on the road, especially late in the season. "There is pressure, but think about how long we have felt pressure." Henrickson said. "It shouldn't feel any different right now than on that trip to Lubbock and the trip to Norman. To me, it all felt the same." Edited by Ian Cummings N (24-8) (24-8) CONNIE V. BONNIE KU Breaking down the Nebraska-Kansas coaching relationship (19-12) ALEXANDRA WINSTON Connie Yuri Overall Record: 385-265 (22 years head coach) Record at Nebraska: 190-125, 10 seasons NCAA Tournament Appearances: 8 (2 Creighton, 6 Nebraska) Little did they know that on Selection Monday the two would be paired together for the first round of the tournament in Little Rock, Ark., playing on Sunday night at 6:50 p.m. when the 11th seed Kansas will face off against 6th seed Nebraska. RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Both coaches were doing what coaches would be doing with their free Saturday: looking to bulk up their rosters with new talent. It was just a coincidence that both Nebraska coach Connie Yori and Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson ran into each other last Saturday at a Jayhawk junior college conference playoff game. "I really have respect for her" Henrickson said. "Not only that she's been successful, but how she's handled success and how she goes about her business." The two discussed their seasons and the teams' chances of making the NCAA Tournament. Although the Cornhuskers are now in the Big Ten Conference, Yori and Henrickson still text and call on a regular basis. Yori was one of the first to reach out when Yori also grabbed several national coach of the year awards. The pinnacle of this turnaround in 2010 was when Nebraska grabbed a No.1 seed after going the whole regular season with a 29-0 record and an undefeated mark in the Big 12. It ended up getting bounced in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, but it concluded the best season in Cornhusker history. Henrickson continues to go through a similar experience at Kansas but has not had the same success. Both Yori and Henrickson came into the Big 12 conference in similar situations. In 2002, Yori looked to turn around a Nebraska program who was a proverbial loser in the conference. After nine years with the program, Henrickson hopes she can start moving Kansas up into the elites of women's college basketball. Kansas' junior forward Carolyn Davis went down with a knee injury earlier in the season.

Kansas won 4-0. The softball team will head to Missouri Friday night for the final game between the two teams. LALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com All season, the Kansas softball team has focused on ignoring the name on the opposing team's uniform, trying to concentrate only on its own game. Beginning with conference play this weekend, that task becomes all the more difficult. Kansas (20-2) begins Big 12 competition tonight with the first game of a three-game series against No. 12 Missouri (17-3) in Columbia, Mo. Riding a 20-game win streak to end non-conference play, the Jayhawks will face a talented Missouri pitching staff led by junior SeaTea Thomas, whom coach Megan Smith referred to as "one of the best pitchers in the country" Last season. Thomas (8-1) won 32 games, was a First Team All-American and finished as one of three finalists for USA Softball's National Player of the Year Award. She finished fourth in the country in strikeouts (397) and held Big 12 opponents to a .155 batting average in league play. Kansas lost one-run games in both meetings against Missouri in Lawrence last year. Smith has faced Missouri four times since becoming Kansas' coach, and three times Kansas lost by a single run. Senior infielder Marissa Ingle admitted last year's games were still in the front of her mind. "It's a whole other type of game," Ingle said, "the speed of the game, the endurance you need mentally and physically. Big 12 is just a lot more mentally demanding on you." It will be the final meeting between the two schools as members of the Big 12 Conference. It is not surprising that sophomore pitcher Kristin Martinez said the team wants to send the Tigers off on Kansas' terms. "We're definitely rivals," Martinez said. "This is the last time we're going to play them, so we want to give them something to remember." As a senior, Ingle said she hoped to beat Missouri in her final year on the team and said this group has the ability to do so. "I'm from Missouri, and I just want to beat them so bad," Ingle said. Whatever Kansas hopes to do, it will have to happen in Missouri's backyard, as the Jayhawks play their 23rd consecutive road game to start the conference season. Smith said playing on the road has become part of the team's identity. GOLF "It's something we take pride in," Smith said. "We go on the road and we work. That will be no different this weekend." The teams will play Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at noon. Kansas will then travel to Missouri State for a doubleheader on March 20 before returning to Lawrence and resuming conference play. Border Olympics need cohesion from team — Edited by Bre Roach TREVOR GRAFF tgraff@kansan.com The men's golf team will travel to Laredo Texas, to participate in the Bender Olympics this weekend The Jayhawks start the busiest stretch of their season with the two day event. After the Border McClure Olympics, the Jayhawks travel to Goodyear, Ariz., for the Goodwell Shootout March 22 to 24. At the Louisiana Classic on March 5 and 6, freshman Dylan McClure led the Jayhawks, tying for 17th. "From his sixth hole through 54, Dylan played very solid golf," coach Kit Grove said. Junior Chris Gilbert struggled in Louisiana, carding a 69 alongside an 80. "Golf's a tough game, and everybody has their off days, but to have Chris shoot two poor scores in the same week is very strange," Grove said. "Hopefully, he was just getting some of the rust off of getting back into tournament mode." "Our conversion rate in the The Jayhawks look to improve their consistency after the wind issues of last week's tournament. scoring zone of 50 to 100 yards was just awful last week," Grove said. "Our putting average per player was probably a full putt to two putts higher than where it needs to be, so we focused on that this week" Grove is happy with the depth of this year's team; five golfers are capable of a top 20 finish at any tournament. "I think the big thing we need to do is put it all together," Grove said. "I can't think back to where we've had five guys that can shoot as low as these five guys can each shoot individually at any given time, and they just haven't put it together yet." The Jayhawks head to Laredo with a solid knowledge of the Border Olympics event. "The good thing is that Chris played very well at Laredo last year," Grove said. "Three of the five guys have played there, and Dylan's coming off his best week. If they can get the ball rolling in the right direction, we have enough talent on this team to be competitive with a lot of teams in the country."

MOIST ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Syracuse was missing its starting center. North Carolina-Ashville thought the Orange got help from three men in striped shirts. UNC-Ashville's Jaron Lane, left, and Syracuse's Bake Keita, reach for a loose ball in the first half of an East Regional NOW tournament second-round college basketball game on Thursday, in Pittsburgh. Syracuse won the game 72-65. With Syracuse face the kind of NCAA tournament history no team wants to make, the top-seeded Orange rallied for a 72-65 victory Thursday in the second round of the East Regional. Two calls by the officials had the sellout crowd of 18,927 at Concol Energy Center — except for those wearing orange — booing throughout the final minute but it didn't matter. ASSOCIATED PRESS Syracuse made it 109-0 for No. 1 seeds against No. 16s since the NCAA went to a field of 64 in 1985. "I don't think luck had anything to do with this game today," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said, "and I think the better team won." The Orange were staring at NCAA tournament history. A No. 1 seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed, and they were trailing North Carolina-Asheville with just over 6 minutes to play. "We gave it everything we had. We battled the best that we could," Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach said. "These guys are great. They deserved a better fate than they had today." Syracuse, which won the national championship in 2003, had already made negative history in the tournament, becoming the first No. 2 seed to lose to a 15 when it fell 73-69 to Richmond in 1991. The Orange managed to avoid adding another black mark by holding Asheville to one field goal over the final minute while they went 6 of 7 from the free throw line. Syracuse was playing without 7-foot center Fab Melo, who was declared ineligible for academic reasons by the school and will miss the tournament. "The fact that this game was close had nothing — nothing — to Syracuse (32-2) will play eighth-seeded Kansas State in the third round on Saturday. The Wildcats beat Southern Mississippi 70-64. They led 34-30 at halftime — the third 16 to do that — but the Orange took the lead for good with 6:17 left on a turnaround jumper by reserve James Southerland, who had 15 points and a seasonhigh eight rebounds. The Bulldogs (24-10), who talked Wednesday about pulling off the upset, were led by J.P. Primm's 18 points. do with the center position." Boeheim said. "James has to continue to make the shots and I think he will," Syracuse guard Scoop Jardine said. "I'm happy for him because he's a big part of our offense and today he showed it." / Southerland, who scored 13 points in the second half, had three of the Orange's five 3-pointer. "James came in, gave us a huge lift off the bench," Boeheim said of the 6-foot-8 junior. The first call that caused the crowd to react was a lane violation with 1:20 left. Jardine missed the front end of a 1-and-1 but Primm was called for passing the head of the key before Jardine let the shot go. Jardine got to shoot the front end again, made it, and made the second for a 64-58 lead. The Bulldogs got within three points three times in the final 1:04 but could get no closer as Syracuse made its free throws and the officials made a couple of controversial calls. "They gave me a second chance to make the shot and I made it," Jardine said. "I got myself into a rhythm. I made every free throw from there on out because I do what I practice and believed in myself at that time and made the shots for us." Primm said: "They showed it on the replay, I think the crowd let him know that it wasn't the right call. ... Like I said, when it gets crunch time like that, like I say, everyone is human. With 35 seconds left and the Orange leading 66-63, the ball appeared to go out of bounds off Syracuse's Brandon Triche but the officials pointed the other way and gave it to the Orange. Jardine made two free throws a second later. Coordinator of Officiating John Adams said he would have given the ball to UNC Asheville on the inbounds play. "The out of bounds is not reviewable and it is not a play we would discuss," official Ed Corbett told a pool reporter. "I'm not going to comment further because it is a judgment call. It was a clear (lane) violation. The player released early, before the ball hit the rim. We've since watched the replay 20 times and it was the right call."

The Jayhawks will travel to Sin City today to play three matches over the weekend against midmajor schools. Play begins Saturday against Houston, and the team will face Idaho on Sunday and Bowling Green on Monday. "It would definitely be a big confidence booster to come out of the weekend winning all three," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. Houston travels to Las Vegas with a 6-4 record for the season with its most recent match being a 4-3 loss to Marquette. The Cougars of Conference USA are led by No.1 singles player Giorgia Pozzan, who holds an 8-3 singles record for the season. Idaho is 11-5 for the season and went on a four-match winning streak before its 4-3 loss to New Mexico State in the Western Athletic Conference opener. Bowling Green takes a 4-3 spring record into the weekend and hasn't played a dual match in more than three weeks. "We played Houston last year and they were pretty good," junior Victoria Khanevskaya said. "We are bringing it to the next teams so we can keep it up against Big 12 schools." Freshman Maria Belen Luduena leads the Jayhawks into the weekend with a 10-1 singles record for the season. Her only loss came in the team's 7-0 defeat to Tulsa two weeks ago. "My footwork is better now because on clay court you can slide, but on hard court you have to take little steps," Ludueña said. "That in the beginning was difficult, but it's normal now." The weekend in Las Vegas marks a hiatus in Big 12 play, which began last weekend with Kansas losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Kansas will continue conference play March 24 against Baylor in Lawrence. "I'm so excited," Khanevskaya said of the trip to Las Vegas. "We have to have fun there and enjoy it besides playing tennis. It should be a great experience." All of this weekend's matches will begin at 1 p.m. Edited by Bre Roach PAGE 10 FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NCAA TOURNAMENT Detroit guards stand out among teammates KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com CHASE SIMON, SENIOR GUARD EXPERIENCE: Simon is in his third year at Detroit and has averaged 30 minutes or more each season. This season, he plays 33.7 minutes per game — second on the team — and has played 37 minutes or more on 14 occasions. He's also started all 35 games for the Titans this year and has 98 starts in his three-year career at Detroit. While he's not the best player on the Titans' roster, Simon is the least-likely to be star struck against Kansas tonight. SCORING: He's second on the team with 13.5 points per game, identical to his numbers last season. Against BCS opponents St. Johns and Mississippi State, Simon had 20 and 17 points respectively. His scoring is incredibly streaky, but if he's on, he's tough to spot. For every two-, five- or six-point performance, he has just as many 18-, 20- or 24-point games. GETTING TO THE LINE: One thing that seems to irk coaches at any school at any level is the opponent scoring while the clock is stopped, especially when that opponent is looking to make a comeback. Simon was third in the Horizon League with 181 free-throw attempts and has had a few games this season with double-digit free-throw attempts. It's certainly not something to bank on, but Simon getting to the line could extend the game and keep Detroit within arm's reach. For all of his experience, Simon is still prone to turning the ball over on a regular basis. He was second in the Horizon League with 96 turnovers and averages 2.7 per game. In four games against BCS conference opponents, he averaged 3.5 turnovers per game. He had at least six less than the 77-64 loss at Cleveland State. His turnover rate nearly doubled in losses this year, with four per game. It seems too easy to call Detroit 'not another 15 seed,' but there might not be a better way to describe the Titans from the Horizon League. They finished third in the regular season but won four-straight conference tournament games by a combined 50 points, including a 20-point drubbing of the regular season champs, Valparaiso, in the championship game. They have a balanced scoring attack with five players averaging double figures, but two players stand out among the rest: Ray McCallum and Chase Simon. DETROIT DETROIT 3 GAME WHO: D WHEN: WP KU RAY MCCALLUM, SOPHOMORE GUARD PEDIGREE: ATHLETICISM: McCallum is the coach's son and certainly plays like one. He's unselfish, tough and does whatever it takes to win. McCallum was recruited by UCLA, Arizona, Florida and even a bit by Kansas, but he chose to play for his father at Detroit. Now that's dedication. Like his father, McCallum compensates for his smaller stature (he's just 6-foot-1, 180 pounds) with the grit and fire of a winner. uses hustle and a high basketball IQ to get what he wants. He may not look like Tyshawn Taylor, but McCallum has freaky athleticism for a little guy. He can jump with the best of them and drive to the hoop at will. He uses this athleticism to create opportunities for others and score with relative ease. The Jayhawks have the athleticism to match McCallum, but that may not change much. He's a creative scorer who ENLITE PASSING: McCallum is a gifted passer who often attacks the basket, draws several defenders and finds an open teammate for easy points. He has an ability to find someone for easy points. He has innate ability to find someone at the right time with a darted pass, whether it's inside or by the perimeter. He leads the Titans with 3.94 assists per game and is a primary reason why his team boasts six players that average at least nine points per game. LITTLE RANGE: For all of McCallum's strengths, he simply hasm found his stroke from the three-point line. He shoots just 25 percent from behind the arc. Despite averaging 3.43 three-point attempts per game, he has converted a three-point shot in just 16 of 35 games this season, or 45.7 percent. The Jayhawks have fallen in the tournament the past two seasons because of Northern Iowa and Virginia Commonwealth's three-point prowess. That shouldn't be an issue against the McCallum-led Titans.

KU www.kuathletics.com KU www.kuathletics.com MEN'S BASKETBALL Johnson remains humble in success KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com JOHNSON PREPARED TO STEP UP OMAHA, Neb. — Junior guard Elijah Johnson's minutes per game spiked tremendously, from 13.7 minutes last year, to 32 this year. He ranks third among Kansas players in scoring, with 9.7 points per game, but hasn't always been consistent. Coach Bill Self ar P. Johnson "I try not to be too full of myself. I try to be humble. But I'm aware of my talent," Johnson said Thursday afternoon. "I'm starting to become more aware of what I can do to help this team, and I think it's going to be an extra little boost for us in teammates have talked about Johnson's potential many times throughout the year. March." LEARNING FROM A LOSS Kansas hasn't lost back-to-back games since November 2005. The team rattled off 10 straight victories after its Dec. 19 loss to Davidson and nine in a row after dropping a close game to Missouri on Feb. 4. The Jayhawks are coming off of a loss once again, after bowing out to Baylor in the Big 12 Conference tournament semi-finals last weekend in Kansas City, Mo. Johnson said the loss to Baylor humbled the team. "Who knows, if we win that game and beat Missouri, how big wed be on our high horse?" he said. Detroit sophomore guard Ray McCallum was a McDonald's All-American player in high school and chose to play for his father at Detroit, passing on schools like Arizona, UCLA, and Kansas. Bill Self said McCallum looks longer than he did in high school. Senior guard RAY MCCALLUM Tyshawn Taylor called him "terrific," but the Jayhawks may have found a weakness in McCallum's game. "One thing we learned about him just briefly is that he really doesn't want to guard too much, so we're going to put him in situations where he has to be a defender," Taylor said. "Maybe that will weigh him down offensively." Detroit McCallum In the one-and-done format of the NCAA Tournament, a small slip up could end a season — as Jayhawk fans know all too well. Tyshawn Taylor said his team realizes that when they aren't fully focused, they can lose to just about anyone, and past hiccups in the tournament are prime examples. A NEW SEASON "We understood why we lost those games. We didn't come to play," Taylor said of losses to Northern Iowa and VCU. "We thought if we showed up wed beat those teams. Those two years helped us this year because we understand that we can't just show up." FAMILIAR FACES Taylor and Johnson took a break from answering questions about their team to talk about the Missouri Tigers, who are also playing at Omaha. "I root for the Big 12 regardless once the conference is over," Johnson said. "They're not in our conference, they're in the SEC," Taylor responded. When pressed for more, Taylor added, "I hope they're enjoying the weather." Taylor wasn't as clear about his support for Missouri. - Edited by Ian Cummings PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECYCLE RECYCLE RECYCLE Education Under Fire Liberty Hall March 26 7:30 pm Free Admission the Bali's Campus Association QR code Sponsored by the Baha'i Campus Association Education Fire.com PLEASE RECYCLE FOOTBALL Tight end picks Kansas granted extra eligibility Former Notre Dame tight end Mike Ragone has been granted a sixth year of eligibility and is coming to Kansas, according to the South Bend Tribune.

He's a completely different player to me. I don't see him as a peer. I see him as the ultimate footballer." — Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez after scoring four goals in a Champions League match according to Deadspin.com FACT FACT OF THE DAY Ronaldo and Messi combined for 106 goals in 109 matches last season. ESPN.com --- TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who currently hold Barcelona's all-time scoring record with 235 goals? A: Cesar Rodriguez in 351 official games for the club ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW Breaking down a heated soccer rivalry Though soccer has struggled to gain a foothold in the United States, we shouldn't ignore what is possibly the greatest athletic rivalry since Magic Johnson and Larry Bird went at it for NBA championships in the '80s; Lionel Messi versus Cristiano Ronaldo. Barcelona's Messi and Real Madrid's Ronaldo are head-and-shoulders above every other soccer player. And to top it off, they play each other in arguably the fiercest sporting rivalry in the world: El Clásico. By Max Lush mlush@kansan.com Messi, at just 24 years old, is only six goals shy of breaking Barcelona's all-time scoring record of 235 goals. He was just 16 years old when he started his first game for the club. Ronaldo blossomed professionally at Manchester United, but his output has only increased since moving to Real Madrid in 2009. He only needs two more goals in his next 15 games to become the fastest player to score 100 goals in La Liga games. But which player should you support? MESSI Messi plays the game with such an amazing energy, passion and love. He is one of the few people who could be the best in the world at something but would never tell you or act like it. He seems to simply love winning soccer games and playing the sport. He stands just below 5-foot-7 yet is almost impossible to take the ball away from. When he sprints with the ball, it's like it is magically tied to his cleats, and he never gives his defender a chance to take it from him. Messi is a clinical finisher, especially with his left foot, but what sets him apart from others is his willingness to pass. Since the 2007-2008 season, he has never finished outside the top-four assist producers in La Liga. If you were to compare any recent athlete to him, it would probably be Peyton Manning. He's not cocky. He seems humble. And he's damn good. RONALDO The best way to describe Ronaldo is as the antithesis of Messi. While Messi is short, humble and quick, Ronaldo is tall, fairly arrogant and powerful. There's no denying his talent. He is debatably the most athletic player to ever step foot on a soccer field. He is powerful in the air, rarely getting beat to a header, and he is deadly from distance. Ronaldo possesses one of the most powerful and accurate free kicks in the world. He is able to score KU anywhere in the attacking third of the field; he scored a goal this season on a back heel from about 10 yards out while running away from the goal. The most comparable recent player to him is LeBron James. Athletically, they possess the most physical talent in their respective sports, but they have a tendency to rub people the wrong way with their huge egos. CONCLUSION You couldn't choose more different people to be the best in the world at something, but we should embrace their accomplishments. Talents like theirs don't come around too often. Let alone at the same time. This week in athletics Edited by Taylor Lewis Friday JI Softball Missouri 6 p.m. Columbia, Mo. Q Men's Basketball Detroit 8:57 p.m. Omaha, Neb.

Most publications in the country are trying to draw more attention to their work by sticking a bracket on any advertising space. Pure, unprocessed emotion. That's one of the things that the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament offers that no other sporting event can. But the most important things get lost in all of this, because we hype it too much. I just hope people enjoy what the tournament is really all about. Such as watching a player on a mid-major team hit a buzzer-beating upset shot and dive on the ground, waiting for the rest of his teammates to jump on top of him. TAKING ON THE TITANS These are my favorite sports days on the calendar. I sit down with a bag full of Chex-Mix and a case of Coca-Cola and watch 12 straight hours of basketball for four days. The first weekend of the tournament is the greatest weekend of the year, because you honestly don't know what's going to happen. What I'm trying to say is this: Don't be surprised if the lahawks struggle a little bit tonight. But they're still not going to lose this game. Now for the real question that's on everyone's mind. Many people have overanalyzed the Detroit matchup mainly because the media and fans have had nothing better to do all week. The experts can talk and you can fill out a bracket, but by the end of this weekend, you'll stare at your bracket and realize all it's littered in red marks. (Or maybe you already tore it up and threw it away.) But by Sunday night, you'll say to yourself, "Man, that was a great weekend." Eventually, the Jayhawks prevailed, led by Drew Gooden with 19 points and 13 rebounds, including an exclamation-point dunk at the end of the game, in the 70-59 victory against Holy Cross. Edited by Anna Allen Will the Jayhawks run into similar problems in past first rounds today against Detroit? The Crusaders even led the Jayhawks in the second half of the game at one point. Here's the honest truth: Since there've even been a sliver of a doubt about the Jayhawks winning this game, they're going to win this game. Self will have them motivated, and the team will win. I see this game playing out a lot like a game I remember from Kansas' 2001-2002 run to the Final Four.The Jayhawks were matched up against Holy Cross, a No.16 seed at the time. I remember watching this game in my living room with my family and being scared to death that Kansas would be the first team to lose as a No. 1 seed. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN KEEP COLLECTED 32:01 11 0 32:01 35 KANSAS Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor practices his three point shot during Thursday night's practice in Omaha.

It is suitable for all types of soil. - **Liquid Mulch**: Made from plant-based materials like compost, leaf litter, or decaying organic matter. It is better suited for lawns and gardens with high traffic areas. - **Sand Mulch**: Made from natural materials such as sand, silt, or gravel. It is ideal for moist and sandy soils. **How to Plant Mulch** 1. Choose a location with good drainage. 2. Dig a hole about 10 inches deep and fill it with mulch. 3. Spread mulch evenly over the ground. 4. Water the mulch regularly to keep it moist. **Care for Mulch** 1. Remove any debris or weeds from the mulch area. 2. Mulch should not be left too long to allow air and water to penetrate. 3. Mulch should be rotated regularly to ensure even coverage. 4. Mulch should be re applied every few months to maintain its health and appearance. **Common Mistakes** 1. Mix mulch with other soil types. 2. Use too much mulch. 3. Not covering the mulch properly. 4. Not watering mulch regularly. **FAQ** 1. How often should I mound mulch? 2. Can I use mulch on clay soil? 3. What type of mulch is best for me? 4. How often should I repot mulch? 5. Can mulch be removed after it has been planted? 6. Should I use mulch on vegetable beds? Self tries to keep teams' nerves at bay before the Detroit game MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com OMAHA, Neb. — Get through it. Just get through it. At 8:57 tonight, the No. 2 seed Jayhawks will play the No.15 seed Detroit Titans in the last of four first-round games at the CenturyLink Center. "We need to somehow shorten the day," coach Bill said. Self may let his team sleep longer. He may change practice time to break up the day. Anything to prevent building anxiousness and visions of failure. "The last thing you want to do is just lay around in your room and just watch other people play," Self said. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said he doesn't like sitting around and waiting for his game to come. It's difficult to stay cool when you know that a win or go-home game awaits. That holds true especially against a team like the Titans, a No. 15 seed only in the name. It's a number that most know underestimates their considerable skill. Meanwhile, one Detroit player sees an potential advantage over Kansas. "I think we might be a little bit more athletic than them," Titans guard Chase Simon said. Detroit may not resemble most undersized, three-point gunning Cinderella teams. But they can run in transition and dunk with the best. Junior forward Doug Anderson is YouTube gold and has graced SportsCenter's top 10 several times. "He'll come into some practice some days and not even stretch and be able to do between-the-legs," Titans guard Ray McCallum said of Anderson. "I just don't know how he does it." But the Titans aren't just a dunk show. They can play fast with McCallum, the coach's son who was once unsuccessfully recruited by Self. Or they can play tough by the hoop with center Eli Holman, a transfer from Indiana. "Detroit's here too now," Holman said. "We come to play. We're tough just as well as Kansas is." The Titans shoot just 30.2 percent from three-point range, so, like the Jayhawks, they prefer to defend and initiate the fast-break. This allows their group of athletes to run loose and take advantage of their jumping ability and speed. "I don't know if he's played with anybody who's 270 that can run the floor," Holman said of junior forward Thomas Robinson. The Jayhawks think they'll be ready. Taylor said that the last couple of practices have been his best of the season. The Jayhawks haven't talked about Baylor since Selection Sunday. They've simply spun the loss into a way of learning more about their weaknesses and how to correct them. "I don't like playing the last game," Taylor said. "But that's the draw and we've got to take advantage of the situation the best we can." On Friday night, in the final game of the day, all will discover if Kansas is stuck in the past or braced for a tournament run. — Edited by Ian Cummings BASEBALL Indiana's pitcher too strong for Kansas KATYA ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com A late-inning rally fell short on Thursday as the Kansas baseball team (8-8) dropped the first game of the Irish Baseball Classic 2-1 to Indiana State. Both Kansas and Indiana Sophomore outfielder Tucker Tharp gets out before he makes it to first base-during game one against North Dakota earlier this season. The baseball team lost its first game of the Irish Baseball Classic to Indiana State, 2-1. State entered the game riding winning streaks, but the Sycamores' seven-game tear produced a more confident team in the afternoon matchup.

Bacus went eight innings, surrendering one run on five hits — three coming from senior catcher James Stanfield. Head coach Ritch Price wanted to see Kansas continue its winning ways, but Bacus' command took the Jayhawks out of their rhythm offensively. "He was one of the best guys we've seen all season," Price said. "He dominated us with the fastball, and it took us five innings to catch up as the game wore on." Kansas was able to tack on a run in the eighth inning when freshman center fielder Dakota Smith's groundout scored freshman outfielder Michael Suiter on the fielder's choice. The Jayhawks would get the go-ahead runner on base in the ninth, but they failed to draw even. Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick was coming off a disappointing outing against North Dakota, and he showed clear improvement on Thursday. Morovick went 5.2 innings, allowing one run on nine hits. Morovick pitched every inning with runners on base, but his poise in pitching out of the jams encouraged the coaching staff. "He got into some trouble, but when he got into trouble, he found a way to get out of it," Price said. "That was crucial. He found a way to get that big out each time, and that's what you have to do." Redshirt senior pitcher Jordan Jakubov relieved Morovick in the sixth inning, and he continued to be one of the Jayhawks' most dominant bullpen arms. Jakubov pitched the final 3.1 innings giving up one run on three hits and striking out three. The Sycamores' seventh-inning run was the first run Jakubov had surrendered all season in 12 innings pitched. With the offense struggling to score runs, Jakubov was focused on keeping the Jayhawks within striking distance. "The main thing coming out of the bullpen is to go in and do the best you can," Jakubov said. "You have to keep your team in the game to give them a chance." Jakubov's 0.75 ERA and one save The loss dropped Kansas to a all comes after the senior right-hander endured two Tommy John surgeries in his Kansas career. "He's been outstanding, and I'm really happy for him," Price said. "He's been through as much adversity as anybody I've coached in my career. It's really amazing to see him be rewarded for his perseverance." 0-4 record in Texas this season. The Jayhawks will look to rebound against Notre Dame Friday at noon. Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan (3-1 3.90 ERA) faces the Irish seeking his fourth win of the season.

FINAL FOUR-TITUDE A 'REBUILDING'YEAR MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com ST. LOUIS — Travis Releford dribbling the final seconds away before chucking the ball upward and into sweet expiration. Tyshawn Taylor, glossy eyed, twisting grilled pieces of net around the edges of his brand new hat. Bill Self standing atop the ladder, snipping a slice of the net, only to toss it to the hardwood and grab the chunk of what was left. Child-like glee emitting from all seven feet of Jeff Withey. Heavy, wholesome embraces for all wearing crimson and blue. The final Four in New Orleans—book Kansas a ticket. "It's always more fun to do something when nobody really thinks you can do it," Self said. Did you think these Jayhawks could do it? This is the same team that was supposed to be rebuilding. No Morris twins, no Tyrel Reed, no Brady Morningstar. Didn't matter. This version of the Jayhawks, one of shallow depth but impenetrable toughness, slugged their way through Detroit and Purdue in Omaha, Neb., then North Carolina State and North Carolina in St. Louis. Now they're one of four teams still dancing, still hunting for a national title. "This is every kid's dream right here." Releford said. Three other teams remain: late-surging Louisville, freakishly-skilled Kentucky and the next opponent, heavyweight Ohio State. But Kansas would have never joined these teams if not for its clampdown on the North Carolina Tar Heels. The 80-67 final score at the Edward Jones Dome hardly hints at what took place Sunday. In the first half, it was simply two of the nation's finest teams scoring nonstop. Speed and flair ruled just as the Tar Heels like it. They made 63.6 percent of their shots, while the Jayhawks made 56.3 percent. The score was tied at 47 going into half-time and Self knew something had to change. "I really figured that if it was a horse contest wed have no shot" Self said. "At some point in time during the game, it had to become a grind-it-out, defensive game." After the break, Self switched his team into a triangle-and-a two zone defense; a funny little scheme that rattled Kansas State in the regular season and Purdue in the round of 32. This time around, the formation messed with North Carolina's traditional style of two posts by the basket and shooters surrounding them. Self figured that freshman guard Stilman White wasn't going to beat anyone with his jump shot. So the junk defense kept two Jayhawks in the paint, then dared Walsh, sophore forward Harrison Barnes and sophomore guard Reggie Bullock to shoot freely. In the second half, White missed all of his shots. Barnes missed seven of eight. Bullock missed all Off to the Final Four SEE FINAL FOUR PAGE 6A Take a look at the Kansan's photo gallery from Sunday's game. 14639025078 Self, Williams showdown leaves palpable sense of pride in Kansas PUB TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Thousands of fans gather on Massachusetts Street Sunday evening after the Jayhawk's victory against North Carolina. Kansas defeated North Carolina to reach a championship in 2008. MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" could be heard throughout Lawrence Sunday evening at venues such as the Hawk 1340 Ohio Street, and the Wagon Wheel, 507 West 14th Street, after the Kansas victory over North Carolina to advance to the Final Four. "This might be the best game I've ever watched away from the Fieldhouse," said Scott Howell, a graduate student from Independence, Mo. Howell compared the game to an NBA-caliber matchup with great referees, coaches and players. And even though this was supposed to be a building a year for the team, Howell said, the Jayhawks went beyond expectations. While many fans were glad to see revenge on Roy Williams, Howell did not see that element as being important. Ryan Libel, a sophomore from Springfield, Mo., gives credit to coach Bill Self for pulling off a Final Four bid, even though most off did not predict it at the beginning of "I was ecstatic when we first beat him," Howell said about the Final Four game in 2008. "Now he's just another coach." the season. "This win shows that recruiting isn't everything," Libel said. "Great coaches and disciplined players can win games." Cory McCoy, a freshman from Springfield, Mo., was excited for the win as the first he witnesses in Lawrence. "Self did a great job of coaching the boys," McCoy said. "KU's got a great tradition, and hopefully, KU can bring home the national championship." Scott Mitchell, a senior from Salina, was excited for the victory during his final year as a student at the University. "Since it's my senior year, it makes it so much sweeter," Mitchell said. "The cherry on top of it all is beating Roy Williams." As a kid, Mitchell remembered rooting for Roy Williams as a Kansas coach, so seeing the flip side was extra special for Mitchell. "They had a very good performance," Mitchell said. "You couldn't ask for anything more. Finally, we're living up to our potential." — Edited by Laura Nightengale РЕСЕКЛА MARSHALL SCHMIDT/KANSAN Brian Knowles, left, and Ryan Libel, right, relax during halftime of Sunday's game.

Santorum, buoyed by Saturday's win in Louisiana's primary that boosted his spirit but did little to narrow the delegate gap, urged his supporters to stick with him even as much of the GOP establishment has coalesced around Romney's "Even though a lot of folks are saying this race is over, the people in Louisiana said, 'No. it's not.' They still want to see someone who they can trust, someone who's not running an Etch a Sketch campaign, but one who has their principals written on their heart, not on an erasable tablet," Santorum said Sunday on CBS' increasingly inevitable coronation. Even in the face of the political headwinds, the former Pennsylvania senator seemed unwilling to acknowledge it would take a dramatic change in momentum to deny Romney his turn as the GOP nominee. "Face the Nation." Romney remains far ahead with 568 delegates to Santorum's 273, according to an Associated Press tally. Newt Gingrich follows with 135 and Ron Paul has 50. Short the 1,144 delegates it will take to clinch the nomination ahead of the convention this summer in Tampa, Fla., Romney enjoys an organizational and fundraising advantage over his closest rival.

The mission comes amid a wildly popular Internet campaign targeting the guerrilla leader. ... ENTEBBE, Uganda — The African Union says it will send 5,000 soldiers to join the hunt for notorious rebel leader Joseph Kony, a new mission that comes amid a wildly popular internet campaign targeting the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. Friday's announcement comes the same month an Internet movie campaign by the U.S.-based advocacy group Invisible Children sought to make Kony The mission is to be launched in South Sudan on Saturday and will last until Kony is caught, United Nations and African Union officials said at a news conference in Uzanda. "We need to stop Kony with hardware — with military hardware in this case," said Francisco Madeira, the African Union's special envoy on the LRA, on Friday. "We are on a mission to stop him." "famous" so that policymakers would make it a priority to remove him. The video has been viewed more than 100 million times. "The awareness has been useful, very important," he said. Abou Moussa, head of the U.N.'s office in Central Africa, said soaring international interest in Kony had spurred regional efforts to eliminate the LRA. The hunt for Kony has primarily been carried out by troops from Uganda, who received a boost last year when President Barack Obama deployed 100 U.S. forces to help regional governments in the mission. American soldiers are now based in Uganda, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Congo. The LRA is responsible for 2,600 civilian deaths since 2008, according to the African Union. EUROPE MOSCOW — A U.S. led NATO missile defense plan that Washington says is aimed at deflecting potential Iranian threats will break existing Russia opposes missile defense plan nuclear parity with Russia and prompt it to retaliate. President Dmitry Medvedev warned Friday. Moscow rejects Washington's claim the 1 Medvedev plan is solely to deal with any Iranian threat and has voiced fears it will eventually become powerful enough to undermine Russia's nuclear deterrent. "No one has explained to me why we should believe that the new missile defense system in Europe isn't directed against us." Medvedev said in a speech at a security conference. NATO has said it wants to cooperate with Russia on the missile shield, but has rejected Moscow's proposal to run it jointly. Without a NATO-Russia cooperation deal, the Kremlin has sought guarantees from the U.S. that any future missile defense is not aimed at Russia and threatened to retaliate if no such deal is negotiated. Earlier this week, he told the top Russian military brass that the armed forces must prepare to counter U.S. missile defense plans even as talks between Moscow and Washington are continuing. Speaking at Friday's conference, he reaffirmed that Russia isn't "shutting the door to dialogue" but warned that "time is running out." MIDDLE EAST Families of 17 Afghan murder victims receive extra compensation from U.S. KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — The United States has paid $50,000 in compensation for each Afghan killed and $11,100 for each person wounded in the shooting spree allegedly committed by a U.S. soldier in southern Afghanistan, an Afghan official and a community elder said Sunday. The sums, much larger than typical payments made by the U.S. to families of civilians killed in military operations in Afghanistan, come as the U.S. tries to mend relations following the killing rampage. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is accused of sneaking off his base on March 11, then creeping into houses in two nearby villages and opening fire on families as they slept. U. S. investigators believe the gunman returned to his base after the first attack and later slipped away to kill again, American officials have said. Bales has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and could face the death penalty if convicted. That would seem to support the U.S. government's assertion that the shooter acted alone, since the killings would have been perpetrated over a longer period of time than assumed when Bales was detained outside his base in Kandahar province's Panjwai district. The families of the dead, who received the money Saturday, were told that the money came from U.S. President Barack Obama, said Kandahar provincial council member Agha Lalai. CENTRAL AMERICA الحياة الرياضية ASSOCIATED PRESS From left, Panama's President Ricardo Martinelli, Guatemala's President Otto Perez Molina, and Costa Rica's President Laura Chinchilla, pose for pictures Saturday during a Central America presidential summit in Antigua, Guatemala. Presidents from Central America are meeting ahead of the Summit of the Americas in Colombia in April. Guatemalan president calls for U.S. to pay for drug interdiction efforts GUATEMALA CITY — Guatemala's president proposed Saturday that the United States and other "consumer" countries pick up the tab for the cost of drug seizures. Otto Perez Molina made the comment during a Central America meeting that he called to discuss his earlier proposal to legalize drugs, a meeting that drew only two of his counterparts from the region. "For every kilo of cocaine that is seized, we want to be compensated 50 percent by the consumer countries," he said. The Guatemalan leader said the United States has a "responsibility" because it has one of the highest rates of drug use. Drug cartel activity has been increasing in Central America, both as a smuggling route and a base for operations. Perez Molina said the fight against drug trafficking has failed and governments need to look for alternatives. The presidents of Panama and Costa Rica did attend Saturday's meeting in Guatemala, and two of the other four Central American nations sent lesser representatives. Perez Molina first made the drug legalization proposal in February. It has received lukewarm response in the region and opposition from the United States. He said Saturday that legalization of drug use should be accompanied by a system to regulate the production and consumption of drugs. He also suggested the region decriminalize drug trafficking and instead set up a specific transit corridor with border controls for the registration of drug shipments. LAW Attorneys argue killing of Florida 17-year-old ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI - Attorneys for the family of Trayvon Martin and the Florida neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot the unarmed teen joined the national chorus of voices calling Saturday for justice in the case. As demonstrators took to the streets in major cities such as Washington and Chicago to voice outrage over Martin's death, an attorney for the Martin family told board members of the National Association of Black Journalists that federal and local officials have assured the family that the case is a priority. Meanwhile, an attorney representing the neighborhood watch captain, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, broadly defended his client and said he believes evidence will show that Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law was properly applied. Zimmerman has not been charged in the Feb. 26 shooting that has ignited racial tensions and raised questions about the Sanford police's handling of the case. Martin was black, and Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Hispanic. "Is George a racist? The answer is no, absolutely not. He's not a racist," attorney Craig Sonner said about his client. "The incident that transpired is not racially motivated or a hate crime in any way. It was self-defense." Sonner declined to detail what transpired between Zimmerman and the 17-year-old Martin, but he said he believes the case falls under the "Stand Your Ground" law, which dictates that a person has the right to stand his or her ground and "meet force with force" if attacked. "I believe what the evidence will show is that this case does fall under that," Sonner said. "I believe we have a good case." If charges are brought against his client, Zimmerman would be willing to turn himself in to police, Sonner said. "We will follow the law," Sonner said. A spokeswoman for the Maitland mortgage risk-management firm where Zimmerman reportedly works, Digital Risk, said she couldn't confirm anything about Zimmerman's employment, but that he had not been at work since the shooting. "Our utmost concern is for the safety of our employees, specifically based on the potential turmoil that could arise from the recent announcement of a bounty for his capture," Brandie Young Sonner would not say where Zimmerman was.

Indeed, President Barack Obama weighed in Friday, calling the shooting a tragedy and saying, "When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids." Amid the outcry over the lack of charges against Zimmerman, the Sanford police chief and state's attorney in the case have both stepped aside. But Parks added "it was clear from Justice's statements that charges of a hate crime are going to be a challenge."

Martin, an unarmed young black teen, was fatally shot by a volunteer neighborhood watchman.

That would not only make it the highest-ever debut for a non-sequel (not accounting for ticket price inflation), but a hugely profitable success for independent studio Lionsgate, which financed the movie for a little more than $80 million after tax credits. with the same period in 2011, according to Hollywood.com. If "The Hunger Games" lives up to industry expectations, that figure could jump to 22 percent. Many in the film industry are pleased that fears of an unstoppable decline in movie-going fueled by digital distribution alternatives and changing consumption habits have been at least temporarily halted. That would make it the biggest first-quarter increase for domestic box-office receipts in recent memory. The surge comes after a dismal 2011, during which attendance dropped 4 percent to the lowest level in 16 years. There's one variable that's difficult to quantify, but some say is the simplest explanation: a more diverse and appealing mix of movies.

HOLIDAY APARTMENTS One of the great American movies, "The Godfather" hasn't stopped influencing popular culture since the day it was released. Martin Scorsese owes much of his career to it, "The Sopranos" wouldn't have made sense without it, and VH1's reality show "Mob Wives" is a winking travesty of it. GHFSK VLDCMPVA PHFASCR.

In fact, nearly anything that focuses on organized crime, corporate gamesmanship or the glories of patriarchy — from HBO's "The Wire" to AMC's "Mad Men" — seems unable to escape the long, broad-shouldered shadow of "The Godfather."

It's a grand, macho soap opera full of unfettered ids, violently settled scores and men wearing enviable suits. And talk about a bromance: Have you ever seen so many guys hugging and kissing in a Hollywood movie? On the 40th anniversary weekend of the film's release, here are three reasons to love "The Godfather." 1. Marlon Brando's accent: At the time, Brando's cotton-cheeked portraital of Don Corleone came in for some mockery, not unlike Tom Hardy's barely audible villain Bane in the previews for "The Dark Knight Rises." Nevertheless, Brando's hoarse, mumbling, world-weary Don — "What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?" — remains one of the most memorable figures in moviesom. 2. The one-liners: If you know any colorful Mafia slang, chances are it came from "The Godfather," which gave us gems like "sleepes with the fishes" and "an offer he can't refuse." It even turned the commonplace phrase "it's strictly business" into a quoteworthy line (usually uttered after taking down a friend or co-worker). And don't forget the ultimate hit-man mantra: "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." PAGE 4A 3. Those crazy Corleone kids: There's Connie (Talia Shire), who marries an abusive bum; Sonny (James Caan), the arrogant first-born with no impulse control; Fredo (John Cazale), a nice boy but soft in the head; and Michael (Al Pacino), Daddy's favorite who eventually takes over the business. Mafia families — they're just like us! TELEVISION NBC renews hit drama 'Smash' for new season LOS ANGELES — NBC's theatrical drama 'Smash' is getting a curtain call. The show, which follows the production of a musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe, has been renewed for a second season. "Smasm" made its debut in early February and is averaging about 7.7 million viewers. However, it is the network's highest rated drama among adults 18-49 and attracts desirable audience for advertisers. The show's stars include Debra Messing, Katherine McPhee and Jack Davenport. McClatchy Tribune RADINGS Given that the show's producers include Steven Spielberg and that, it is a pet project of NBC Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt, the renewal was not really a surprise. MPAA sees an increase MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — When the Motion Picture Assn.of America voted to uphold the R rating for "Bully" several weeks ago, the documentary's distributor, Harvey Weinstein, kicked up a dust storm of protest and publicity. But it's not just Weinstein keeping the appeals board busy this year — the group is facing a significant increase in the number of filmmakers seeking to overturn the initial ratings for their movies. The MPAA, which administers the ratings system via its Classification and Rating Administration, has already heard eight appeals for films scheduled for release this year. That's double the number the group heard for movies released in 2011 and surpasses the seven appeals it heard for 2010 films. The MPAA is a trade organization composed of the six major Hollywood studios, but most of the appeals are from companies that are not members of the group: Seven of this year's appeals came from smaller studios and distributors such as the Weinstein Co., Lionsgate and Relativity Media. The initial ratings are assigned by a group of paid MPAA employees.

So, when the qudditch team plays, do they yell at each other in cool British accents? should be expected of any college student upon arrival being that responsibility is a fundamental value learned while in college. Professors need to set an expectation of not surfing Pinterest and Facebook while in class and instead encourage students to use everything they can to learn as much as possible in the way that is best for them. In a more modern world, the laptop is mightier than the pen. I'll go on dates just because it's free stuff, but I'm staying single. If they kick me out of the residence halls one more time, I am leaving forever. The purpose of a research university is to find and blaze new pathways to see the world and manipulate it in new and creative ways. When professors prohibit students from exploring these options, they limit our productive and creative abilities. After all, students do not tell professors how to teach because if they did, the professors would not be able to do their best. Just saw bus driver Dan smoking. I'm a little disappointed. Oh no, I'm already going to have to start shaving my legs again. The use of electronics in the classroom is usually prohibited because of the distraction it causes for other students. The constant key clicking and random ringing of phones does create a distraction for everyone in the classroom. However it is unfair for professors to dictate how students learn. game. With this, students must be responsible in class when using their computers and other devices. This responsibility The current policy regarding electronics in the classroom is that it is up to the professor or teaching assistant to define acceptable use of electronics in class. It is easy to see why a professor would ban the use this seems like a no-brainer. of laptops and phones in their classroom, with the abundance of social media outlets and the inability of students to remember to turn their devices to silent. From time to time, electronics do cause a distraction but that distraction is usually short-lived and does not compare to the loss of learning possibilities that electronic devices can provide. Recently, an instructor expressed to a class that the students must take notes in the conventional way, meaning only pen and paper would be allowed as our medium of notetaking. Perhaps this professor thinks students are getting a better education by learning in the way that they learned, but professors who ban electronics in the classroom are missing out on how a modern student can learn. Whether jotting down a to-do on an app, taking some notes in a word document that is searchable for later studying, or recording a lecture for later listening, students can greatly benefit from using their resources. From a university perspective, Jon Samp for the Kansan Editorial Board Dealing with your partner's friends By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com We love our significant others, but sometimes their friends can really be jerks. And when college life enables us to see our partners and their friends frequently, the issue can sometimes be pressing. It's important for us to understand how to handle these situations because our romantic relationships can often blossom or burn depending on the harmony between us and our significant others' friends. Since I dated my first serious boyfriend my senior year of high school, I've had a few minor issues with my partners' friends, but it wasn't until I started dating my current one that I have actually had to address the problem. Last fall my boyfriend and I went to a football game together, and he told me he would be tailgating with a few of his friends beforehand. He didn't technically invite me to join him in tailgating, so instead I went shopping, saw a friend downtown, and met up with him to go to the stadium later. When I arrived at my boyfriend's tailgate, his older brother teased me about prioritizing shopping over spending an afternoon playing makeshift football in an alley. I laughed it off and lightheartedly said to my boyfriend, "Way to make me look like a jackass." Then one of my boyfriend's friends, who has a knack for saying offensive things way too casually, said, "Well, if it quacks like a duck." I assumed that because the two of us weren't close enough for him to even jokingly insult me, I must have heard it out of context as he said it to someone else. I brushed it off but still wasn't sure about it the next day, so I confronted my boyfriend about whom his friend was talking to when he said that. My boyfriend told me his friend was in fact talking about me, and I was secretly pissed when the next thing out of his mouth was, "It's Nick (name has been changed). You just take it in stride." Take it in stride? Are you kidding me? I was baffled that my boyfriend didn't have a stronger reaction. He may be friends with Nick, I thought, but he's in a relationship with me. I told my boyfriend that his friend's actions were unacceptable regardless, and that was that. However, since then, I've realized that a strong reaction on his part may not have been necessary. While I demand respect from my boyfriend, neither always taking my side nor fighting my battles is his responsibility. The incident was isolated, so in the end I didn't fight it. However, I didn't forget it either. Therefore, since then I have devised a list of Do's and Don'ts while dealing with our partners' friends that can make or break our relationships. Below, I give you a snippet of my entire dating philosophy that I live and die by. DO: Talk with your partner about how both of you can better facilitate your relationship with his/her friend. Such tension is a problem for your partner too, not just yours. DON'T: - Let it go the first time unless it regards a sensitive issue. It's possible that said friend thinks that kind of communication is normal (especially if he/she is nonchalant about it). - Reevaluate your relationship if this issue occurs frequently and your significant other never sticks up for you. This can often reflect that your partner and his/her friend are alike, and you shouldn't make time for that. - Address problems one-on-one if they continue with your significant other's friend, but bring it up with your partner too. Don't blame your partner for his/her friend. - Ask your partner if you could bring your own friend next time you hang out as a group. It can help ease tension by keeping you occupied. - Feel pressured to be buddy-buddy with your significant other's friends. Be sociable, but just getting along is good enough. - Talk to your partner's friends endlessly about subjects that probably aren't mutual interests unless the friends initiate the conversation or it's a big deal. Finding a shared interest will ease communication and make spending time with them more comfortable. On liking, or not liking, to like upcoming bands Expect your significant other to choose between his/her friends and you. Ultimatums in relationships are never acceptable. Confront your partner's friend publicly. This issue is not a public affair. You'll probably get a better response if you confront him/her in person rather than by shooting a message over Facebook or Twitter. If he/she doesn't back off, bring it up with your partner in private later. - Get mad at your partner for not always sticking up for you. Always picking your side is not part of his/her job description. Music is full of trends and fads, and when you are an aspiring rock journalist, you have to try to stay on top of what's new and have an opinion immediately. Chuck Klosterman, a former writer for the music magazine Spin, said in a March 6 "Hollywood Prospectus" podcast for ESPN's Grantland Network that being a rock journalist wasn't that fun. He said that when you have to have an opinion on music, you need it instantly; there was no time to get familiar with it. Klosterman said he had to have an opinion right away, and his co-host Andy Greenwald, another former music journalist agreed. This was their least favorite part of music journalism. When it comes to new music, I'm a total cynic. My friend Sean is the complete opposite. He seems to like every new song he ever hears. It's a bit frustrating, actually. This past summer when the punk band "Fucked up" released their rock opera "David Comes to Life", Sean couldn't stop raving about it. After my first few listens, I decided that every song sounded the same. And when you claim an album to be a "Rock Opera", sounding the same seems like a death sentence. Sean was not happy with me. A few months later, Sean told me of the one-woman indie band "Tune-Yards" (stylized "tUnEyArDs"). Luckily, Klosterman was there to have his instant By Dylan Lysen dlysen@kansan.com opinion on Grantland.com. He said he liked Tune-Yards, but he wasn't sure if it was good music, because Indie rock is full of popular music that isn't actually good. Essentially, he says, people like things just to like them. Once again, I was not fond of what I was hearing, and Sean was not happy. When I hear people raving about music, I have to ask myself: Are these Abed Nadir reviews of music? On NBC's sitcom "Community", television geek, Abed Nadir, tries to get his friends to join the glee club. His roommate, Troy Barnes, tells him that everyone hates glee club. Abed answers beautifully with, "I guess you're right. I guess I just like liking things." I try to avoid this as much as possible. So when Sean comes to me with some new band, I have to wonder if this band is actually good, or is Sean just trying to show me a band that a random person talked about. Or if anyone shows me new music, are these people really enjoying this music, or are they showing it to me just so they can feel like they have an upper hand on me, intellectually because I was unaware of something. It's a real problem because my first instinct is to believe that people don't like the music for the right reasons. I believe most people like new music just so they can tell their friends about the new hip band that everyone is unaware of. This is why the stereotypes of hipsters exist. A few months later, once Sean has stopped raving, I gave these bands a listen a few more times. I have to admit that he was right. These bands are great. But for some reason, my fear of becoming a stereotype or becoming another drone that doesn't think for himself stops me from enjoying music immediately. I have to get used to it. Now, I can't stop listening to Tune-Yards. I believe that I was wrong earlier, but not for the wrong reasons. I was wrong because I wanted to have the chance to experience the music myself, and not let someone tell me how I should feel about it. You need to find music that is great, not what's hip or new. Many don't see greatness in music right away (most notably me), but when you give music a few months, your own changing opinions might shock you.

PAGE 6A MONDAY, MARCH 26. 2012 STATE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Tuition for undocumented students could change XIN LI editor@kansan.com Some Kansas lawmakers are trying to repeal a 2004 law that grants in-state tuition to high school graduates without legal immigration status. Alumna Alaide Vilchis came to the U.S. with her family from Oaxaca, Mexico when she was 14 years old. She held a visitor visa, good for temporary admittance in the country. The family then moved to Shawnee. Vilchis earned her degree from the School of Journalism in 2007. Now 25, Vilchis plans to pursue her master's degree in public policy at American University in Washington, D.C., this fall. This wouldn't have happened if Kansas legislators didn't pass the law in 2004, the year that Vilchis graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School. Vilchis said her parents couldn't afford the out-of-state tuition that she would have been required to pay without legal immigration status, despite earning some scholarships. When she noticed the Kansas Legislature attempted to repeal the law last year, Vilchis became concerned. "If they pass the repeal," Vilchis said, "they are sending a message to these Kansas students that there is no future for them." Repeal of in-state tuition In March 2011, the Kansas House of Representatives passed a bill that repealed in-state tuition for graduates without legal immigration status. The bill failed in the Senate. The Committee on Federal and State Affairs didn't give up on introducing the repeal bill. According to the committee secretary, Steve Bainum, House Bill 2522, a similar version of this bill, is alive but still stays in the committee. "Probably nothing will happen to the bill this year," said Rep. Jim Howell, R-Derby, who serves on the committee. Howell supported the bill and said it was more of a principle problem than an economic problem. Howell said that if the repeal bill was passed, valid U.S. citizenship and Kansas residency proof would be required by colleges and universities for enrollment. A bill with specific instructions hasn't been drafted yet. Howell said the number of students who would be affected by the enforcement of the bill is relatively small because of the children in undocumented immigrant families attending in K-12 schools right now, only a few would go to college. According to a Wichita Eagle article written by Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, in reply to an editorial, the number of the students is 431. Kansas taxpayers pay $1.1 million to support the education for these students. Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, explained the reason behind the repeal. Sloan said a large number of new Representatives wanted to expel all residents who are not U.S. citizens entered the House after the 2010 Kansas election. These same legislators work with the governor and his administration to deny any benefits to families who are here illegally. "It doesn't matter that many of the children were carried over the border in the arms of their parents and thus did not make a conscious decision to violate U.S. laws," Sloan said. Vilchis is now a member of the Students in action steering committee of Lawrence Action Network for Diversity, a community group that advocates for diversity. Some student members of the LAND initiated a campaign called "You Don't Speak for Me" when the repeal came up in state legislature. Vilchis went to the hearings to give her testimony last spring. She said she wanted to let the legislators know that the law that grants her in-state tuition also offered an opportunity of education and a vibrant college life. "I absolutely love KU," Vilchis said. "I made great friends. No one ever asked me for my papers or saw me as an alien. I was never afraid." Vilchis also met her husband at the University, and they married in 2010. Wilchis became a legal resident of Kansas in August 2010 through her marriage. She is applying for her conditional immigration status to be taken away now. "The government has decided we married in good faith, not just so I could be a legal resident," Vilchis said. "I will be a legal resident regardless of my marital status. In three years, I can apply to be a citizen." As House Bill 2522 still sleeps in committee, Vilchis has appealed for support from other members of LAND to testify at future hearings. Vilchis said she would be watching the legislature's actions on the repeal. "I am waiting for the hearing," Vilchis said, "but I hope the repeal will never happen."

The Tar Heels scored just 20 points on 22.6 percent shooting, the lowest field goal percentage against Kansas in a half in NCAA tournament history. n a student fails to do so, he will be required to pay the difference between fees and tuition actually paid and how much he would have paid as a non-resident, as well as interest for the time he was enrolled as a student with resident fee privileges. Source: registrar.ku.edu "That triangle-and-two is coming in handy for us," senior guard Conner Teahan said. "He took that shot with no conscience, with a little smirk on his face like he knew it was going in," As the Jayhawk confounded the Tar Heels' offense, they scored just enough to break away. Leading 68-67, junior guard Elijah Johnson knocked down a three-point shot that unofficially called it a night. Self said it was, without question, the biggest shot of the game. Unlike the vast majority of games this season, everyone chipped in against North Carolina. Junior forward Thomas Robinson, all toughness, had 18 points and nine rebounds. Withey had 15 points, eight rebounds and three timely blocks. But Taylor, who had struggled so mightily in the tournament before Sunday, truly gave the Jayhawks enough in the end. Taylor had his typical bozo plays. Some passes and shots forced Self to do nothing but cover his face with his hands and shake his head in disbelief. Yet when Taylor was on, when he did all he could to make plays and did so cautiously, he was the best player on the floor. He finished with 22 points, six rebounds, five assists and five steals. He also might have just rewritten his once somewhat shoddy legacy at Kansas. "If you can look at the body of work that I've put in my four years, I don't understand how you can't love me," Taylor said. "I've made a lot of mistakes, but I feel like that's just part of a young kid being in college and growing up." Who else, other than Self, could explain the improbable? "You've got guys going from playing seven minutes a game to a national player of the year candidate," Self said of Robinson. "You've got guys that basically have been as criticized a player as there's been at KU since I've been there, and now everybody's saying he may be the best point guard that's played there in a long time," he said of Taylor. "Its amazing to me how much these guys have gotten better. I take pride in that." Health care law's fate to be determined in court today Edited by Ian Cummings Two years and three days after President Barack Obama signed into law a health care overhaul aimed at extending medical insurance to more than 30 million Americans, the high court begins three days of hearings over the WASHINGTON — The monumental fight over a health care law that touches all Americans and divides them sharply comes before the Supreme Court on Monday. The justices will decide whether to kill or keep the largest expansion in the nation's social safety net in more than four decades. law's validity. ASSOCIATED PRESS The challenge from 26 states and a small business group puts the court smack in the middle of a heavily partisan fight over the president's major domestic accomplishment and a presidential election campaign in which all his Republican challengers oppose the law. If upheld, the law will force dramatic changes in the way insurance companies do business, including forbidding them from denying coverage due to pre-existing medical conditions and limiting how much they can charge older people.

Another major piece of the law is an expansion of the Medicaid program for low-income Americans that will provide coverage to more than 15 million people who currently earn too much to qualify. By 2019, about 95 percent of the country will have health insurance if the law is allowed to take full effect, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. Reams of court filings attest that the changes are being counted on by people with chronic diseases, touted by women who have been denied coverage for their pregnancies, and backed by Americans over 50 but not yet old enough to qualify for Medicare, who face age-inflated insurance premiums. Republicans are leading the fight to kill the law either by the court or through congressional repeal. They say the worst fears about what they derisly call "Obama-care" already have come to pass in the form of higher costs and regulations, claims that the law's supporters dispute. GOP presidential candidates all promise to repeal it if elected. "Obamacare has already proven unpopular and unaffordable," House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said on the law's second anniversary. The White House says it has little doubt the high court will uphold the law, and that even its opponents will eventually change their tune. "One thing I'm confident of is, by the end of this decade, we're going to be very glad the Republicans termed this 'Obamacare', because when the reality of health care is in place, it's going to be nothing like the kind of fear-mongering that was done," said David Plouffe, a senior adviser to the president, said Sunday in an interview with ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Pollst have consistently shown the public is at best ambivalent about the benefits of the health care law, and that a majority of Americans believe the insurance requirement is unconstitutional. The administration's public education campaign has come under strong criticism from its allies who say the White House has been timid in the face of relentless Republican attacks. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, MARCH 26, 2012 PAGE 7A RESCUE Band, spirit squad save trapped man KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Little Rock, Ark. - The Kansas women's basketball band and spirit squad not only perform at games, but they also save lives. Around 5:15 p.m. on March 18 before the women's basketball game, a group of nine young men from the band and spirit squad saw a man under a car with only his legs and waist exposed. They quickly concluded that he was trapped after a jack flipped and the car fell on top of him. They grabbed the car and lifted it up so the man could slide out. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Alex O'Nelio, a senior from Pittsburgh and a member of the spirit squad, was one of the first to notice the man. "It took us a second to realize what was going on," O'Nelio said. "A few of us realized that there was a car on top of a guy, so we just ran over." When he emerged, he was smeared with blood and grease but stood up and thanked them. When the band and spirit squad saw that he was fine, they boarded the bus and continued to the game. Senior spirit squad member Alex O'Nelio goes into detail about how he and other members of the spirit squad and band helped save a man's life after a car collapsed on top of him. Nine other students were at the media press conference where they were able to tell the full story to local television stations. The men still don't know the identity of the man, but they said they hope he is doing well. KU Edited by Taylor Lewis STATE Military school faces claims of abuse ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA — A California boy attends only four days at a Kansas military boarding school where he is tormented by staff and students after breaking both his legs in separate incidents. A Tennessee student's stomach is forcibly branded as a rite of initiation. A Florida cadet breaks his hand fending off a student with a history of sexual abuse who tries to grope him, and school officials refuse to investigate or inform his parents of the attack. These claims are the latest additions to a growing list of former cadets who allege in a federal lawsuit they were abused at St. John's Military School in Salina, Kan. An amended complaint filed Friday in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., now includes six sets of named parents who have filed on behalf of cadets, plus one ex-cadet who is now an adult. The plaintiffs come from California, Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, Texas and Illinois. The Episcopal boarding school, which charges families nearly $30,000 per year for students enrolled in grades 6-12, draws students from across the nation. Two new defendants are named in the revised lawsuit: The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America and the Episcopal Diocese of Western Kansas, entities which the suit says created the school. "The parents of these kids don't want any other kids to suffer the way their kids did," said Dan Zmijewski, one of the plaintiffs' attorneys. Their lawsuit, which was initially filed March 5, contends that the school allows and encourages older students to physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually abuse young students. According to court filings, the legal action purports to chronicle a "dangerous and disturbing culture at a boy's military school which must end." St. John's has settled nine previous abuse-related lawsuits filed since 2006, court records show. Amid widening media coverage of the latest lawsuit, more parents and cadets are coming forward with stories of abuse, Zmijewski said. "It is just more kids who suffered extreme abuse at the hands of students while staff is watching — and is more indicative of what is going on there," he said. Derek Johannsen, an attorney for St. John's, sent an email statement Saturday on the school's behalf. In it, he said the school denies the existence of a culture of abuse, and pointed out that St. John's has a 120-year history of helping young men develop skills in a safe environment. "(The school's objective is to provide a rigorous academic environment, opportunity for religious introspection and a structured campus life to help develop young men with the highest degree of self-discipline and self-confidence," the statement read. Johannsen also wrote that some of the allegations in the lawsuit were investigated by law enforcement and no charges were filed. He said a formal response to the amended complaint will be filed soon. In a separate settlement last year, the school argued it had made reasonable efforts to curb abuses, noting military schools nationwide have a problem with hazing. St. John's installed surveillance cameras in the hallways and instituted weekly bruise checks. "The parents of these kids don't want any other kids to suffer the way their kids did." The new filing includes as an exhibit the California boy's X-ray, showing abuse so severe that the right femur bone was displaced DAN ZMJEWSKI Plaintiffs' attorney several inches above the knee. Also included in the court filing is a photograph that had been posted on Facebook depicting a uniformed cadet from Texas gagged, blindfolded and bound with black duct tape. Other allegations come from a Texas boy who was urinated on by other students in the shower, a Colorado student who was beaten in a van in front of a faculty member after trying to hitchhike home to escape earlier abuse and an Illinois cadet who suffered a fractured eye socket after being kneed in the head. MILITARY Emerging details reveal Bales' financial troubles SEATTLE — Military families aren't surprised when they hear about the financial struggles that Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, his wife and children faced at home. It's part of their lives, too. They say money problems can never justify doing what the military says Bales did: kill 17 civilians in a nighttime shooting rampage through two Afghan villages on March 11. Still, the details emerging about his life served as a prominent reminder of the hardship they have endured over a decade of two wars. Court records and interviews showed that he joined the military 11 years ago after a Florida investment went sour. He had a Seattle-area home condemned, struggled to make payments on another and failed to get a promotion a year ago. His wife has had two, one-year jobs since leaving Washington Mutual four years ago. Last year, Mealey connected nearly 300 military families just like the Bales family with another 300 "angels" willing to help them pay a few bills or send a gift card. He said he answers calls and emails every week from military families who are having problems negotiating base life. His wife put their Lake Tapps, Wash. home up for sale days before the rampage. They bought it home in 2005, records show, for $280,000. They listed it for $229,000.

WICHITA — State wildlife officials have expanded regulations to allow hunters to use crossbows to take down big game in Kansas, though the change won't take effect until this fall. The change will make it legal for hunters 55 and older and those with a youth big game permit to use crossbows during archery big game and turkey seasons. The change was approved Thursday by the Kansas Wildlife, Park and Tourism Commission, The Wichita Eagle reports. Crossbows have long been legal in Kansas for those physically unable to hunt with traditional archery equipment. But in several other states, they are currently legal for all sportsmen. Chris Tymeson, a commission attorney, said the regulation would not be in place before the opening of archery turkey season on April 1, but it would be for fall seasons for antelope, deer and elk hunting. preferred to change Kansas' regulations rather than allow the Legislature to expand the rules. Wildlife officials said they THE ORGANIZATION "I think some may have underestimated the momentum of crossbows in this area," said Gerald Lauber, commission chairman. "I'd rather control our own destiny." Tymeson said two bills legalizing crossbows for hunters of all ages were progressing through the Legislature, though supporters seemed willing to let the commission take the lead. However, legislators still could act on the legislation even with the commission's action, he said. Commissioners voted 7-0 to approve the change. There were requests to not include youth permits, which are sold to hunters age 15 or younger. Although they liked the idea of getting more youth interested in hunting, those opponents said they feared a push would be made for youth to keep using crossbows once they outgrew the regulation.

The land was once owned by a founder of Lawrence and Kansas' first governor Charles Robinson. A five-foot section of the more than century-old fence was torn off sometime between 6:00 p.m. Saturday and 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Several ornamental iron pillars are missing. According to the KU Public Safety Office report, the damage was reported at $10,000. Monte Soukup, senior vice-president of property management for the Kansas University Endowment Association, hopes the pieces will be returned to ease the fence's repair. "Short of having custom castings made, the pieces are irreplaceable," Soukup said in an email. "Wed just like pieces back to maintain the historic integrity of the fence." Lisa Scheller, senior editor of media relations for the Endowment Association, said the history of the fence is significant to both the Lawrence and University community. Anyone with information about the missing fence pieces is asked to call Soukup at (785) 832-7435. No questions will be asked. - Edited by Pat Strathman FENCE FACTS A 24-room mansion was built on the land the fence surrounds. The first two owners, H.W. Baker and Brinton Woodward, were survivors of William Quantrill's raid on Lawrence in August 1863. After World War I, the Acacia Fraternity lived in the home. The University acquired the property in 1940, turning it into the first Templin Hall, a scholarship hall for men at the time. It eventually housed women, and during World War II it housed Navy officer trainees. The house was demolished in 1959 for the construction of Sprague Apartments. 40 This historic fence stands damaged at 1400 Lilac Lane. The section of fence was vandalized sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning during the first weekend of spring break.

March 25, in Washington. The debt-slashing GOP budget plan is heating up as a presidential campaign issue. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The new debt-slashing budget plan pushed by House Republicans heated up as a presidential campaign issue Sunday as the proposal's architect, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, sparred with top Democrats over its political fallout and downplayed the possibility he could be tapped as a vice presidential candidate. Senior White House adviser David Plouffe dismissed the GOP plan Sunday as "a lot of candy, not a lot of vegetables," and charged that it would be "rubber-stamped" as law if leading Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is elected. "This is really the Romney-Ryan plan," Plouffe said, adding that its mix of across-the-board tax cuts and stiff budget cuts "showers huge tax cuts on millionaires and billionaires paid for by senior and veterans." Ryan tried to tamp down speculation that he could be tapped for the No. 2 spot on the GOP ticket, although who will be the nominee is far from settled. I would have to consider it, but it's not something I'm even thinking about right now because right — I think our job in Congress is pretty important," Ryan said. "And what we believe we owe the country is, if we don't like the direction the president is taking us, which we don't, we owe them a specific sharp contrast and a different path that they can select in November. And doing this in Congress is really important." The House GOP debt-reduction plan, unveiled last week with minimal Democratic congressional support, is quickly sharpening as a line of division for the fall campaign, pitting GOP and tea party pressure for a reined-in budget against White House and Democratic party alarms about a weakened Medicare system and tax relief for the wealthy. "This is a sharp, clear difference with two different futures," Ryan said. Despite growing signs that the U.S economy is struggling back to life, Ryan threw down a market for the fall national election, saying that the GOP plan is the only alternative to a looming debt crisis versus Obama's "path of debt and decline." The GOP proposal — endorsed by Romney last week during a meeting with GOP congressional leaders — would slice $5.3 trillion from President Barack Obama's budget over the coming decade through tax reforms and sweeping program cuts. The plan aims to shrink U.S. deficits by $3.1 trillion over the next decade, reducing tax burdens while cutting Medicaid payments and shifting oversight to states and sharply cutting other domestic programs.

Volume 124 Issue 118 Monday. March 26, 2012 kansan.com S sports Yes, it took only seven seconds for the bubble of tension that was the Edward Jones Dome to pop. Seven simple seconds that took everything from nervous doubt to ecstasy. And the spark that lit the Jayhawks fire came from Jeff Withey. The Jayhawks' seven footer took a chance with four fouls, but that chance ended up leading Kansas to the Final Four. "The whole run started because of Jeff," freshman guard Merv Lindsay said. "That capped the run. Ever since I got here in the summer, everyone was on Jeff, but at the end of the day it was to get him ready. And now he's ready." In seven seconds, everything changed. COMMENTARY Withey's play big in victory Withey showed just how ready he was with the clock reading 2:06 and Kansas winning 71-67. North Carolina forward John Henson caught a pass at the free throw line and took one hard step to the basket while Withey left his post at the rim to take a step of his own to greet him. The two did meet, and Henson shot the ball. Or he tried at least. Withey's arms overpowered Henson's, and the shot was blocked. But that wasn't the hard part. The ball lofted in the air, and for a game that was moving so fast, everything seemed to stop. By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com And then explode once again. And then explode again. Withey smacked the ball toward senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and once the ball met Taylor's hands, he ran. So Taylor dribbled four times toward the basket. He lofted in the air and did so while drawing contact from White. The whistle blew with the clock at 1:59, the layup fell and pandemonium rang out in St. Louis. White punched the air while Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson walked toward the sideline together. Taylor stared into nothingness, determined to finish off North Carolina with the ensuing free throw. As for Johnson, he screamed, along with every Kansas fan in the building. "It felt good," Johnson said. "It felt like icing on the cake. That's one of my favorite lines. It was sweet. Definitely sweet." "He made eye contact with me after the block," Taylor said. "So as soon as it came back to the ground, he just tipped it as hard as he could and I just starting leaking out." And the sweetness continued. Taylor made his free throw to give Kansas a 74-67 lead. A few minutes later, Taylor would cut a piece of that same net, and even he knew the play, the tip from Withey, gave him that chance. "It was just the perfect play." The footrace began with the clock reading 2.03. Taylor versus Stilman White, the freshman guard for North Carolina. White ran trying to extend his first shot at glory, while Taylor ran hoping to extend his last chance at glory. Kansas fans, sensing the moment, began to rise. They had seen Taylor do so much good along with so much bad in his four years at Kansas that there was no telling what would come next.

Kansas lost to Tennessee 84-73. Despite loss, Sutherland enjoys her final seconds RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com DES MOINES, Iowa — With just under three minutes to play in the Sweet 16 women's basketball game, Tennessee had secured a 78-64 lead over Kansas on Saturday. Kansas' lone senior, forward Aishah Sutherland, was guarding fellow senior Glory Johnson, one of the most highly decorated forwards in the SEC. With similar builds of length and athleticism, it was as even of a battle Sutherland had seen all season. After controlling the tempo for much of the first half, the Jayhawks appeared worn down by the depth and size of the Lady Vols. "She has a lot of hop to her," Sutherland said. "Instead of jumping up to get a rebound, I had to box out more. She was there to get the rebounds, and it was great to play against someone as athletic as me." But despite the 84-73 loss for the Jayhawks looking inevitable, Sutherland was still enjoying her last few moments on the college court It's been quite the ride for It's been qu. Sutherland and the Jayhawks. After squeaking into the tournament as one of the last four teams in, Kansas took advantage of some favorable match ups in face off against one of the blue bloods of women's college basketball. "Being able to play a team like Tennessee is a blessing." Little Rock, Ark., and were able to advance to the Sweet 16 to AISHAH SUTHERLAND Senior forward NCAA TOURNAMENT 2012 "Being able to play a team like Tennessee is a blessing," Sutherland said. "They're not in our conference, and usually, we don't get to play against schools that have the history like that. Being able to play against them was exciting in itself." The Johnson-Sutherland tussle was overshadowed by the star power brought out by the guards in this game. Junior forward Angel Goodrich continued her craftiness with 23 points, carving up the Lady Vols defense, just as she had done with Delaware and Nebraska. For Tennessee, it was the guard combo of freshman Ariel Massengale and sophomore Meighan Simmons who led SEE BASKETBALL PAGE 7B SOFTBALL Home series ends with two victories ALEC TILSON ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com The Kansas softball team needed just two weekends of conference play to match its Big 12 win total of two from a season ago. After twenty-five road games and three rainouts, Kansas (22-6, 2-4) won two of three games against Oklahoma State this weekend in its first series at Arrocha Ballpark this season. The series win came a week after being swept at Missouri and gave the Jayhawks something they never had last year - a conference win at home. GAME ONE For seven-and-a-half innings the game remained scoreless. Freshman pitcher Alicia Pille (10-3) threw eight strong innings. She allowed just two hits and struck out 11 in keeping a clean sheet for Kansas through the top of the eighth inning. That's when freshman infielder Chanin Naudin stepped to the plate, turned on a 1-0 pitch on the inside corner and sent the ball "She pitched me that same pitch the last two at bats, and I just missed both of them," Naudin said. "I was like, 'okay it's coming again. It's my best pitch to hit.'" soaring over the left field fence for her first career home run. Ballgame over; Kansas w 1-0. Up to that point, the teams combined for just five hits as Oklahoma State's Kat Espinosa pitched seven strong innings before giving up the homerun. The Kansas defense helped out as well. After Oklahoma State's first base runner reached safely in the fifth inning, freshman catcher Lexi Bryant threw her out trying to steal second base. Pille said she knew one of her teammates would eventually come through, so she just continued to pitch until it happened. "I'm so excited, so proud of her," Pille said on Naudin. "I knew someone was going to score but I didn't know how." GAME TWO Sophomore pitcher Kristin Martinez struggled with control in the first inning, allowing one run on a hit, a walk and a wild pitch, so coach Megan Smith called on junior pitcher Morgan Druhan to take the ball. And Druhan answered the call. She pitched five innings in relief, giving up one earned run on two hits as she kept Kansas within a run. "She did a great job," Smith said. "She was just locked in. I think you could see it. She's a fierce competitor." It was during the third inning when Kansas scored its three runs, and all of the offensive pieces were working together. A leadoff walk, followed by a bunt single, a sacrifice bunt, then a sacrifice fly gave the Jayhawks one run with a runner on third. As Maggie Hull stepped into the batter's box, she focused on making a minor adjustment her hitting coach Adam Roorbach had stressed. Sure enough, she connected on a two-run homerun to the deepest part of park and gave the Jayhawks a 3-1 lead. "I was trying to make adjustments, but nothing seemed to be working," Hull said. "I'm definitely giving coach R. the credit for it." GAME THREE Kansas went on to win 3-2. The bats on both teams came to life on Sunday. The teams combined for 15 hits after putting up a total of 14 in the first two games, but Oklahoma State came up with the clutch swings. Oklahoma State, playing to avoid the sweep, scored first when it put up one run on Pille in the first inning. Kansas, however, answered with a run of its own in the bottom half on an RBI-single by senior outfielder Liz Kocon. The Cowgirls took advantage of a fourth-inning Kansas error that helped load the bases with one out. Oklahoma State would go on to score two runs that proved to be the difference in the 3-1 victory over KU. Aside from the disappointment of dropping the last game of the series, Kocon said the team is proud that it took advantage of its first home games of the season. Edited by Pat Strathman "It feels really good to get a home win and let our fans see that we do fight to win," Kocon said. SUNDAY'S SINGLE RUN Kansas scored only one run in Sunday's game against Oklahoma State. Here is how it happened. - Sophomore infielder, Ashley Newman singled to left field. She advanced to second on a passed ball. - Junior outfielder, Rosie Hull flied out to left field. - Junior outfielder, Maggie Hull struck out swinging. - Senior outfielder, Liz Kocon singled to right field for an RBI; Newman scored. - Junior infielder, Mariah Montgory singled through the right side; Kocon advanced to second. - Freshman catcher, Lexi Bryant struck out swinging. 1 RUN, 3 HITS, 0 ERRORS, 2 LOB. PAGE 28 MONDAY, MARCH 26. 2012 QUOTE OF THE DAY "I'll don't think it'll ever feel good for me, regardless of the outcome. I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable with it." North Carolina coach Roy Williams on calling Kansas his "second favorite" team THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FACT FACT OF THE DAY Thomas Robinson's double-double against North Carolina State secured his spot in Kansas history. He surpassed Drew Gooden for most double-doubles in a single season with 26. kuathletics.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many Final Fours does Kansas have? A:14 THE MORNING BREW Jayhawks disprove the doubters --- N Nobody would ever say the Kansas vs. North Carolina game was boring. Kansas has the unique ability to keep its fans on the edge of their seats no matter the opponent, but especially when it's another strong team. For the first time this season, I think, Kansas sealed the game in the last minute rather than just outlasting the other team and hoping for a missed shot. KANSAS VS. NORTH CAROLINA The level of play in the game was unbelievable. No matter By Tanvi Nimkar nimkar@kansan.com which highlight I pick to watch tonight it's going to be phenomenal. The high-powered dunks, fast-break points, and the swishes of each basket all added to the excitement of the game. The commentators can talk all about how Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor stepped up to lead the team but this game was not a two-man show. Travis Releford, Jeff Withey, Connor Teahan, Elijah Johnson, Kevin Young and Justin Wesley all contributed in a significant way. Some of their contributions may not show up on the game score but made of a world of difference. Young's three offensive rebounds in one possession changed the tone of game and set the stage for Kansas to close the game. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present (Yes, my birthday was actually on the 25th.). KANSAS'S JOURNEY This year's tournament has been all about strength and sheer toughness. Kansas has overcome the loudest critics, silly losses and speculation about weak recruiting. Preseason rumblings labeled this Kansas team, as one of coach Bill Self's "worst" teams, but the reality is that in order to be a good team it requires more than talent. Kansas has never had a lack of talent, but this year the talent is mixed with an infinite amount of will. KU Self told fans at Late Night in the Phog in October to be patient this season because it's not going to be pretty. He knows what he is talking about. Most of Kansas' spectacular victories came out of hard fought games close until the final buzzer. Robinson's block at the Kansas-Missouri game made the game a sweeter and fonder memory than any cushy 20-point victory. We are Kansas and it's time we show New Orleans what Jayhawk Nation means.

The Jayhawks fell to No. 13 Baylor, 4-3, and No. 18 Texas Tech, 6-1, in their final home matches of the season. Both opponents took the doubles point and mathematically put the match out of reach before any Jayhawks got any singles wins. "We're performing," coach Amy Hall-Holt says. "It's not like [oppo nents] are walking in the park. Matches were close, and I was very pleased with the majority of our matches." Sophomores Dylan Windom and Claire Dreyer both notched singles victories against Baylor at No. 4 and 5 singles, respectively, and Kansas' third point came via default at No. 6 singles. Dreyer and Victoria Khanevskaya took down Baylor's Megan Horter and Abby Stainback, 8-5, at No. 3 doubles. The lajayhawks' only singles win in their 6-1 loss to Texas Tech came for Monica Pezzetti in a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Elizabeth Ullathorne at No. 1 singles. Paulina Los and Maria Belen Ludueña defeated Nikki Sanders and Caroline Starck at No. 2 doubles, 8-5. "My win was a pretty good one," Pezzotti said. "I think I can play better than I did today, so it gives me a lot of confidence." With the victories, Baylor improved to 14-5 for the season and 1-1 in conference play. Texas Tech, meanwhile, is now 13-3 and 2-0 in the Big 12. Kansas went 2-1 in its three nonconference matches last weekend in Las Vegas, with victories over Houston, 4-3, and Bowling Green, 6-1. The only loss came in a 4-2 decision to Idaho. Those results combined with this weekend's conference losses put the Jayhawks at 9-7 for the season. The team has won only two of its last nine matches and will play its remaining five matches on the road, starting Friday at No. 9 Texas. "Our goal is to win them, of course, and for everybody to just fight hard," Windom said. "Coaches are happy with a hard-fought match, and you learn from your losses."

But the senior's efforts did more to fire up the Wildcats as Baylor's Final Four dream ended with an 82-70 loss to Kentucky in Sunday's South Regional final. Acy had 22 points but had too little scoring help as Baylor was overwhelmed by Kentucky's talent and depth. Pierre jackson had 21 points, including five baskets in the final 2 minutes. Baylor had only one other scorer in double figures and couldn't pull closer than 10 points. Perry Jones III added 17 points for Baylor (30-8), which was denied its bid for its first Final Four appearance in 62 years. The Bears led 10-5 but Kentucky answered with a 16 tnsanswered points never lost the lead. couldn't shy away from Anthony Davis and Kentucky's other shot-blockers. Acy backed up his point less than 2 minutes into the game when his hard foul on Terrence Jones, who was trying to score on a fast break, sent the Kentucky forward sprawling off the court into the Bavlor cheerleaders. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's 19 points led Kentucky (36-2), which will play in-state rival Louisville in the Final Four on Saturday. After reviewing the play, officials called a foulant flound on Acy. Acy said Saturday Baylor The play gave the Bears a temporary boost. A 3-pointer by Quincy Miller capped an 8-0 run that gave Baylor a 10-5 lead. BAYLOR 4 BAYLOR 22 Kentucky's answer was devastating. as the Wildcats continued to take advantage of Baylor's misses and mistakes. Led by Kidd-Gilchrist, the Wildcats took command by scoring 16 unanswered points. Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer had 3-pointers in the run. A 3-pointer by Doron Lamb stretched Kentucky's lead to 23 points at 51-28 early in the second half. Even as guards A.J. Walton and Gary Franklin were called for their fourth fouls, Baylor stretched its defense to a full-court press as it tried to rally. Brady Heslip missed a 3-pointer to open the second half, setting up a dunk by Jones. It was a telling start to the final 20 minutes Kentucky kept up the pressure after Acy's jumper ended Baylor's scoring drought that lasted about 5 minutes. Jones and Davis combined for five blocked shots and three steals and the Wildcats led 42-22 at the break. ASSOCIATED PRESS Heslip's first 3-pointer cut Kentucky's lead to 63-50. Teague and Kidd-Gilchrist answered the challenge with back-to-back baskets before Terrence Jones slammed home his missed free throw to quickly push the lead back to 19 points. There was a scary collision early in the second half. Davis, flying through the air on a drive to the basket, had his left knee hit Perry Jones' hip. Each player went to the floor and needed assistance to his bench, but each soon returned.

OHIO STATE 0 BASKETBALL Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger celebrates his team's 77-70 victory over Syracuse in the East Regional final game in the NCAA men's college basketball tournament, Saturday, in Boston. Final Four set, including storied Kentucky rivals ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS One game is a grudge match between teams that know each other all too well. The other is a rare rematch between virtual strangers. The Final Four is set. In one game Saturday, Kentucky will play Louisville in an intrastate rivalry that puts Cardinals coach Rick Pitino against the school he once coached, then later alienated by returning to the Bluegrass to lead its archival. In the other semifinal, it will be Ohio State and Kansas, meeting for only the ninth time in their history but for the second time this season. The Jayhawks won the first game 78-67 in Lawrence, Kan., back on Dec. 10. Ohio State's Jared Sullinger sat out of that game with back spasms. It was the first time the teams had met since 1999-2000. Absent from this year's ultimate hoops weekend, taking place at the Superdome in New Orleans, are the longshots and little guys who have made March Madness so special over the years. Although there are no Butlers, VCUs or George Mason's, there are plenty of good stories to tell. That list starts with Pitino vs. his old school. The winners will play for the national title April 2. Kentucky already has seven national titles but none since 1998, the year after Pitino left. Kansas has three championships, Louisville has two and Ohio State, better known as a football power, won its lone title in 1960 and is making its third trip to the Final Four since 1999. It was Pitino who restored Kentucky to its former greatness when he arrived there in 1989 and the Wildcat program was coming off the sting of NCAA violations. Pitino took the program to three Final Fours and won one championship, but left in 1997 to take a second shot at the NBA, where he had previously coached the New York Knicks. He fared far worse in four seasons with the Boston Celtics, and when the call back to the college game came, it came from Louisville, located only 70 miles up the road from Lexington and very much in the crosshairs of Kentucky fans. It has been 11 years since his dramatic return, and most of the shock has worn off from what was once deemed an unforgivable betrayal. But there's nothing like a Final Four meeting to stir up some old memories. "It is in our state. They're a great program. We're in two different leagues," Kentucky coach John Calipari said after the Wildcats beat Baylor 82-70 in the South Regional to advance to the Final Four for the second straight year. "The city of Louisville drives our state. The University of Louisville drives that city. So it's a very important thing for our state, and it's important that that school does well." Maybe just not next Saturday. The teams play every season, and most recently, they were ranked Nos. 3 and 4 in The Associated Press poll when they met on New Year's Eve. Kentucky won at home 69-62. Now, it's top-seeded Kentucky against Louisville, a No. 4 and the worst-seeded team in the Final Four. "We think they're excellent. We think they're great. I coached there. It's great. Great tradition." Pitino said Saturday, after Louisville rallied for a 72-68 win over Florida that put the Cardinals in the Final Four for the second time since the coach arrived. "But we want to be Louisville. We have a different mission. They have a different mission. But we both want to get to a Final Four and win a championship." Led by a group of freshmen who may or may not return for a second year, Kentucky was established as an early 8.5-point favorite in the game. The Wildcats endured a brief scare when freshman Anthony Davis, their leading scorer, went down hard in the second half against Baylor with an injured knee. But it was only a knee-to-knee collision with a Baylor player and the injury isn't expected to be serious. Pitino's team does not have as many NBA-ready stars as Calipari's, but they are Final Four material. A series of injuries and starts and stops led to a 10-8 Big East regular season that impressed no one. But the coach kept believing and coaxing. The Cardinals won the Big East tournament and are two wins away from winning the NCAAs, too. "The guys told me it was knee to knee," Calipari said of the early report from the trainers. "I said, 'Get up, mama's boy,' and he was fine." "I really didn't have any lofty expectations, because we had so many injuries," Pitino said. "We were just trying to survive during the season. We just wanted to make the tournament and start fresh." In the other semifinal, Sullinger got what he wanted when he decided to return to Ohio State for his sophomore year — a trip to the Final Four. The Buckeyes are early 2.5-point picks over Kansas in the matchup of No. 2 seeds. They finished in a three-way tie for first in the Big Ten, widely viewed as the toughest conference in basketball this year, but settled for a No. 2 seed in the NCAAs after losing the conference tournament final to Michigan State. It wasn't the first or last time critics underestimated Thad Matta's team this season. "People were asking, are we mentally tough enough, are we physically tough enough, can we do this, can we do that?" Sullinger said. "I relayed those questions back to the team. We did some soul searching, and now we've taken this to a whole other level" Sullinger scored 19 points Saturday in Ohio State's 77-70 win over Syracuse to make the Final Four. Tyshawn Taylor scored 22 points Sunday in an 80-67 win over North Carolina to lock in the matchup against the Buckeyes. The Jayhawks reached the Final Four for the first time since 2008, when they won it all after rallying from nine points late in the title game to beat Memphis (and Calipari, before he moved to Kentucky) in overtime. Taylor finished with 13 assists in the Dec. 10 game against Ohio State despite playing with an ailing knee. The Buckeyes, meanwhile, had to do without Sullinger. Playing their first road game of the season, they lost by 11 to drop to 8-1. Seems like quite a long time ago. "We caught a break the first time when Jared didn't play, and we were kind of finding ourselves, Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We knew they were a team that could make a run and win a national championship. They have so many pieces that are so good. It starts with Jared." 1 TRACK AND FIELD Kansas teams score top points at Baker Relays A large group of Kansas track and field athletes, including several All-Americans, made a short trip to Baker University on Saturday for the first outdoor meet of the season for the Baker Relays. Both the men's and women's teams finished with the top point totals at the end of the day. The competition included mostly instate schools from the NAIA division, including William Jewell, Park University, and of course the host Baker University. The Jayhawks, the only NCAA team at the event, enter the outdoor season ranked tenth in the nation in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association women's poll. On the men's side of competition junior Mason Finley returned in the shot put and discus without competing for seven months because of injury. He seems fresh to start the season, as his throws in both shot put and discus lead the early national leader boards. Sophomore Jessica Maroszek won both discus and shot put competitions on the women's side. Senior Alena Krechyk continued her success as a second team All-American in the indoor season with an impressive performance in the hammer throw. In the pole vault sophomore Demi Payne won the women's competition and freshman Greg Lupton finished first in the men's, ahead of sophomore teammate Alex Bishop. The Jayhawks finished in the top four spots of the women's event and the top five in the men's pole vault. Freshman Alisha Keys and sophomore Timmie Morris were the only Jayhawks to win events on the track. Keys won the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes for her first event titles of her outdoor career. The Jayhawks will return to full strength for the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas.

Unfortunately for the Jayhawk faithful, the Tar Heel offense was just as potent and the teams went into the locker room at halftime tied at 47. Kansas held North Carolina to 20 points in the second half and gave up just three points in the final 8:46. "The first half we didn't guard anybody," Bill Self said after Kansas 80-67 victory. "It was a horse contest, and they're not the type of team you want to get in a horse contest with." "I don't know if anybody," Bill Self said after cutting the final threads of the net down and heading to the locker room. "I'm sure it hasn't happened in coach Williams' era, has held North Carolina to 20 points in a half. I guarantee that hasn't happened." "We put their players who aren't used to scoring in a position to score, and it confused them a little bit." Taylor said. "That helped a lot." "Once we realized that, they weren't scoring the ball." Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "I think that hyped us up to want to be more active in that triangle and two." It was an attempt to throw the Tar Heels off offensively, and it may have done more than that. "I know they did for one possession," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said of Kansas switching to the zone. "And they may have for a second possession. I'm not sure about that." Actually, the Jayhawks stayed in the zone for nearly the entire final eight minutes of the game and the Tar Heel offense that came into the game second in the country looked clueless. Junior guard Elijah Johnson linked the defenseless first half to a street ball game where both sides were "getting the jitters out." first 12 possessions it was used. The offenses came back down to earth in the second half, but neither team was able to create much separation as Kansas held just a two-point lead with eight and a half minutes to play. Edited by Pat Strathman It was around that time that Self switched to a triangle-and-two defense to try and slow the North Carolina offense. "We got some consecutive defensive stops which we hadn't able to get the first 30 minutes," Self said.

The Kansas baseball team had a tough weekend. But the Jayhawks clawed their way tying the game in the seventh inning at 6-6 with junior designated hitter Alex DeLeon's first homer of the year. Then it all fell apart. the taj Hawks were losing 6-1 Sunday against Baylor in Waco, Texas after losing the first two games of the series. After three innings, the offense had failed to score an earned run off of Baylor pitchers. Junior relief pitcher Tanner Poppe (0-3, 6.28 ERA) came on in the eighth inning to preserve the tie. He walked the leadoff man. Baylor moved the runner to second on a sacrifice bunt. Poppe hit the next batter, his fourth of the season in 14.1 innings of work. Following a strikeout, Baylor first baseman Max Muncy came to the plate. He was already 3-for-4 on the afternoon with two runs scored. Muncy took a 2-1 pitch and drilled it down the right field line to drive in two runs. The game was called before 5 p.m., due to travel curfews, with a final score of 8-6. "I was proud of him," coach Ritch Price said. "He was so sick yesterday, we left him in the hotel for the game. He went out there The Baylor Bears swept Kansas in the weekend's three-game series.

He allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks. and grinded and got us to the fifth innning." Senior third baseman Zac Elgie contributed a rare clutch hit for the Jayhawks this season in the fifth inning with the bases loaded, a two-run single to pull within one run of Baylor. The Jayhawks loaded the bases three times in the game, but only converted those to runs on Elgier's single. Elgie said that Kansas has set itself up well all season, but they have to take advantage of scoring opportunities. Kansas stranded nine runners Sunday. "We have to stay with our approach and try not to do too much," Elgie said. "We're playing too tight. We have to loosen up." Baylor, meanwhile, executed plays perfectly early in the game. The Bears hit a sacrifice fly in each of the first two innings. They also laid down a perfect squeeze bunt to advance a runner to second base in the second inning. That runner later scored on one of the sacrifice flies. The victory gave the Bears Price said Kansas played a lot of the games on the road in the non-conference part of the season to prepare themselves for Big 12 teams like Baylor. But with such a young team, it will likely be a struggle. their 21st series sweep in Big 12 play since joining the conference. When the Bears have won the first two games of a series, they have only failed to win the third game three times. "We've got a long ways to go until we can be competitive in this league," Price said. Elgie said that the team would need to focus on the little things and build some confidence. "We're playing really good teams in this conference," Elgie said. "We just need one or two games to push us over the top." Kansas will travel to Springfield, Mo., Tuesday to play Missouri State.

She finished the tournament averaging 22.7 points per tournament contest including a 27 point performance when Kansas upset over Delaware in the second round.

JASON BERRY — Carolyn Davis, junior forward QUOTE OF THE GAME The women's basketball season ended with a loss in the Sweet 16. But in a way, the Jayhawks are OK with that. Kansas entered the tournament as a No. 11 seed and was set against second seeded Tennessee for its final game. Kansas played one of its best games with nine turnovers, 47 percent shooting from the field and three players scoring in double figures. Davis The Jayhawks got out to a quick start and led by as many as 14 points in the first half, but their defense faltered in the second half. The Lady Vols picked up an 84-73 victory in the Sweet 16. Kansas shot 47 percent from the field for the game. KEY STATS The Tennessee bench scored 41 points compared to 11 from Kansas. Angel Goodrich scored 23 points for her fourth straight 20-point scoring game. After the game, Henrickson told the Jayhawks they could not hang their heads, and they needed to wave to each person in the crowd wearing blue. They hugged each other and looked into the crowd, waving before slowly leaving the court. Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner and junior guard Angel Goodrich controlled the first five minutes of the game. Gardner scored off a no-look pass from Goodrich for the first basket. She followed with four more points in the next few minutes. Goodrich and sophomore forward Tania Jackson back-to-back three-pointers, and a jumper from senior forward Aishah Sutherland put Kansas at its largest lead. Massengale was similar to Goodrich: the floor general. She facilitated everything and was able to propel to the Lady Vols to the Elite 8. Kansas built up a 14 point lead in the first half before losing by 11. 47 41 23 14 3 Simmons was a fireball who looked to attack the basket whenever she pleased. She finished just behind Goodrich with 22 points. Now, the Lady Vols move on to face Baylor and its junior center Brittney Griner, the only player standing in the way of Tennessee returning to their normal glory. Goodrich was consistent for the Jayhawks, with 12 points in the first half and 11 in the second half, on her way to a fourth-straight 20-point performance. "I thought we battled and we hung in there," Henrickson said. "We played to win." Three Jayhawks scored in double figures: Aishah Sutherland, Angel Goodrich and Chelsea Gardner. Kansas ends the season 21-13, with a Sweet 16 appearance. Sutherland is the only senior Kansas will lose.

Kansas defeated North Carolina 80-67. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Co-workers Kyle Dolinski and Mitch Miller, two Jayhawks fan from Kansas City, were pleasantly surprised by the vibrant atmosphere that St. Louis provided for the event, and they had a surprising weekend themselves. ST. LOUIS - Peppered with blue, red and green, Washington Street in the core of downtown St. Louis served as the unofficial home to the Midwest Regional of the NCAA Tournament. During the weekend, fans from Kansas, North Carolina, North Carolina State and Ohio could be found walking up and down Washington, a street that runs parallel to the Edward Jones Dome. The street is full of food, bars and hotels, making it the perfect scene to fuel the NCAA Tournament. When they woke up Friday morning, neither Dolinski nor Miller planned on heading to St. Louis until the middle of the work day. "We were sitting there, and he was like, 'You want to go?' Miller said. "And I was like, I'm game if you want to go." So we were just like, 'Alright, let's go.' They found a parking garage approximately 10 minutes before tip off and ran to the stadium. Luckily, the North Carolina-Ohio game went into overtime, pushing the start of the Kansas game back quite a bit. Luck also found Dolinski and Miller when they found a ticket scalper with only two tickets left. The two left for St. Louis around 4 p.m. Friday. Neither had a ticket for the game, but that didn't matter; it was an event they were not going to miss. "It couldn't have worked out more smoothly," Miller said. And with yesterday's game against North Carolina featuring a match-up against former Kansas coach of 15 years Roy Williams, Kansas fans everywhere were eager to voice their opinion on the former Jayhawks' commander before the game. While some still had sour feelings toward Williams for leaving Kansas, others had started to forgive the coach who left Lawrence nine years ago. and his history in college athletics gave him a more tolerant perspective toward Williams. This includes Kansas fan Derek Feagans from Kansas City, Mo. Feagans was a shooting guard for Avila University in Kansas City, "He's North Carolina's coach," Feagans said. "All I care about is Bill Self and Kansas. Roy Williams is a great coach at a great program. Coaches move on. He went home and that's great." I'm glad we have coach Self." While Fengans was quick to answer questions on Williams, his seven-year-old son Will didn't say a word until he was asked who his favorite player was. "Elijah Johnson," Will said. himself, was quick to answer for him. "Because he's a shooter." Feagans said.

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN RYAN SCHLESENER rschlesner@kansan.com The atmosphere was full of excitement and passion as the Jayhawk faithful filed into Allen Fieldhouse to welcome the team back from their Elite Eight victory over North Carolina in St. Louis. The team and this season mean so much to so many people. "It's incredible, I don't think anybody expected it from this team. It's definitely special," said alumnus Mark Perrin, from Lee's Summit, Mo. Fans began lining up well before the doors opened at 11 p.m. to greet the Final Four-qualifying Kansas Jayhawks. The team was delayed by a traffic accident, but the fans were content watching a replay of the 80-67 victory over former coach Roy Williams. "The environment is amazing, said Tor Fornelli, a sophomore from Lawrence. "Everybody is high-fiving and having a blast. Everyone here loves this team." From watching the game to flooding Massachusetts Street to filling the Fieldhouse for a welcome home celebration, it was definitely a special day to be a Jayhawk. "It's always a great day to be a Jayhawk, but today, especially said Meghan Paulsen, a sophomore from Colorado Springs, Co. "It's a very special day to be a Jayhawk," Brendan Nelson, a junior from East Hamptons, Conn, said. "I'm proud of my school, and it'll be exciting to see what we do next." It's safe to say the fans were out in full force to show some love to their team, and there should be no question that the support will continue for the rest of the tournament run.

SEE FIELDHOUSE PAGE 3 CAMPUS Japanese lectures focus on Samurai, male anatomy KELSEY CIPOLA kcipola@kansan.com In Japan, that relationship has snowballed into a full-blown industry. Condoms, Viagra and plastic surgery all have one thing in common: They cash in on penises and mens relationships to their genitalia. Gregory Pflogfelder, an East Asian language and culture professor at Columbia University, will address the body part's history and business implications in his lecture, "Private Parts and Public Concerns: Erecting the Modern Japanese Penis." Wednesday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Malott Room of the Kansas Union. "It's not just the body part but how it's perceived and understood by the Japanese people and how it's been studied, tested, understood and thought about," said Megan Greene, director of the Center for East Asian Studies. The lecture offers a new look at the culture of a country that might be best known to students because of its contributions to pop culture. "A lot of times we think of contemporary Japan as sort of 'Hello Kitty,' and I think you'll get a deeper understanding from this," said Leslie Von Holten, the center's program coordinator. Another pop culture icon that hails from Japan is the focus of another lecture from the center in April—the samurai. Hitomi Tonomura, a professor of history and women's studies at Stanford University, will discuss the often overlooked aspects of the familiar cultural figure in her lecture, "Samurai Beyond Tom Cruise: Letters of a Family Man in the Fourteenth-century War" in the Mallot Room in the Kansas Union at 7 on Thursday, April 12. Greene hopes that the lectures attract both experts from the University and students who might not normally be interested in learning about Japan. Ben Martin, a sophomore from Olathe, thinks that it's important for students, especially liberal arts majors, to take advantage of the opportunities to learn more about foreign languages and cultures through both classes and lectures. "I think they should definitely advertise those more because they're interesting to go to and they're free," Martin said. "You get to hear influential people speak, which would probably cost a lot anywhere else." - Edited by Bre Roach 一 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO An illustration from the 14th Japanese historical epic Taiheiki shows the Samurai in action.

MARSHALL SCHMIDT/KANSAN Study finds women successful in science overcome social obstacles MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com A recent study at the University found women who succeed in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, overcome certain psychological obstacles. Distance from privilege, or factors such as social status and educational background, is more important than demographics when determining successes and achieving power in society, according to Barbara Kerr, professor of counseling psychology at the University and collaborator on the study. Additionally, someone's perception of himself or herself in comparison to the rest of society can affect success and their continuation in the field. "Research shows that how people feel about their level of privilege is more important than their actual state in understanding their well being, career development and other variables." Kerr said. Kerr also found that combining distance from privilege with the level of attention toward romantic relationships could predict persistence in STEM fields. The more one focuses on relationships during his or her undergraduate years, the less likely they will advance in the field. "Some things you can't change, such as race, gender or age, but you can change geography, education and level of attractiveness," said "The difference is if you want to have a position, then you need to have a desire to go get it. achievement.

POLITICS FRANKSVILLE, Wis. — An agitated Rick Santorum on Sunday called Mitt Romney "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama" even as it appears the former Massachusetts governor is on pace to clinch the party's nomination in June. Santorum upset over press changing speech Santorum later lashed out at reporters, using a profane word as he accused them of "distorting" his speech. Santorum told voters that Romney is "uniquely disqualified" to be the GOP's presidential pick and urged his supporters to stand with him even as he faces an increasingly improbable pathway to the nomination. "Pick any other Republican in the country. He is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama," Santorum said at an evening rally near Racine. Santorum later tried to clarify that he was talking only about Romney's ability to campaign against the national health care law championed by Obama and the Democrats.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 3 NEWS OF THE WORLD Associated Press ASIA Officials suspicious of satellite launch SEOUL, South Korea — The security summit that began here Monday was supposed to be an opportunity for President Barack Obama and other leaders to find ways to keep nuclear material away from terrorists. So far, North Korea has unstaged that agenda. And that may be just what Pyong-vang intended. Several of the heads of state meeting in Seoul have criticized the North's surprise announcement 10 days ago that it plans to blast a satellite into space next month aboard a long-range rocket — a launch that Obama's government views as cover for nuclear missile development. Obama urged North Korean leaders to abandon their rocket plan or risk jeopardizing their country's future and thwarting a recent U.S. pledge of food aid in return for nuclear and missile test moratoriums — considered a breakthrough after years of deadlock. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak's government warned it might shoot down parts of the rocket if it violates South Korean air space. Meanwhile, a Chinese government-backed disarmament expert said allowing the launch to dominate discussions at the summit may be exactly what North Korea wants. "I think North Korea did this to overshadow our talks about nuclear security," said China Arms Control and Disarmament Association head Li Hong. "We shouldn't fall for their trick." SOUTH AMERICA No deaths after damaging earthquake SANTIAGO, Chile — A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck central Chile Sunday night, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since a huge quake devastated the area two years ago. Some people were injured by falling ceiling material, but there were no reports of major damage or deaths due to quake-related accidents. The quake struck at 7:30 p.m. about 16 miles north-northwest of Talca, a city of more than 200,000 people where residents said the shaking lasted about a minute. Buildings swayed in Chile's capital 136 miles to the north, and people living along a 480-mile stretch of Chile's central coast were briefly warned to head for higher ground. Panic also struck in Santiago and other cities, with people running out of skyscrapers, and many neighborhoods were left partly or totally without electrical power. Phone service collapsed due to heavy traffic. The Chilean navy's hydrographic and oceanographic service and the national emergency office called off a tsunami warning for most of the central coast after an analysis showed the quake wasn't the type to provoke killer waves. Many coastal residents were staying away from the shore in any case, remembering how the government said there would be no tsunami just before huge waves struck after the 2010 quake, killing 156 of the 524 victims of that disaster. With aftershocks rattling the region, many people living inland didn't want to go back inside their homes, either. Rugby team mourns deaths of players AFRICA JOHANNESBURG — A team of rugby players with championship hopes relished practicing on the beach, away from their impoverished township in southeastern South Africa. But after going for a post-practice swim on Sunday, team members were swept away by rough seas and a strong current. One player drowned and five others remained missing on Monday John Fletcher, coordinator for the Coastal Water Rescue Squad, said his volunteers rescued 15 of the players, but were unable to resuscitate one of the men, and five remained missing. He said strong winds created the rough conditions on the water. Capt. Andre Beege, a police spokesman, said helicopters were being used as the search continued Monday. Searchers patrolled the coastline on horses and all-terrain vehicles, and police divers also were called in. Beegte said. Mncedisi Mazomba, a player-manager for the Motherwell Rugby Football Club, said city officials have arranged for counseling for relatives of the dead man and for those missing and presumed dead. He said the team was formed in 1992 as an outlet for boys and young men from Port Elizabeth's Motherwell Township. It kept them away from crime and other dangers, he said. The club had three teams that played other minor league teams along South Africa's eastern coast, and even traveled as far as Cape Town, on the western coast. ASIA Japan continues to shut down reactors TOKYO — Another Japanese nuclear reactor was taken off line for maintenance on Monday, leaving the country with only one of its 54 reactors operational following last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami. The last reactor is expected to be shut down by early May, raising the possibility of power shortages across the nation as demand increases in the hot summer months. The No. 6 reactor at the Kashiwaki-Kariwa complex was taken off line early Monday by the Tokyo Electric Power Co. The utility also runs the plant in Fukushima, northeast of Tokyo, that suffered meltdowns, explosions and radiation leaks after the March 11 guake and tsunami. Japanese reactors are taken off line every 13 months for regular checks. With concerns over nuclear safety high following the Fukushima crisis, none of the reactors that have been shut down for checks, and none that were already off line at the time of the disaster, have been allowed to restart The timing for when any reactors will be restarted remains unclear. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has promised to reduce Japan's reliance on nuclear power over time and plans to lay out a new energy policy by the summer. In the meantime, Japan has temporarily turned to oil and coal generation plants to make up for the shortfall, and businesses have been required to reduce electricity use to help with conservation efforts. FIELDHOUSE FROM PAGE 1 After the players had their turns, head coach Bill Self took the microphone. "How about these Jayhawks right here?" Self asked the crowd as it erupted into cheers. Self followed with remarks about the team's successful spring break and credited the fans' support. "They play for each other, they play for their families, but they also play for you." Self said. both students and faculty to continue their support by traveling to New Orleans this weekend. Despite the night's excitement about the Jayhawks advancing to the Final Four, Self made reference to the hard work that lies ahead of the team. Self also issued a challenge to "These guys have done good, but they haven't done enough."

"Since there weren't a lot of women in engineering, it made me want to do it more," Parfet said. After graduating, Parfet hopes to go into management , where she sees a lack of women as well. Megan Ketchum, a senior from Ottawa, is also majoring in chemical engineering but sees being a woman as an advantage. "The women that are in the field are your smart ones and confident ones," Ketchum said. "They are the ones willing to work to achieve their goals." more than in the past — but she still hopes more will go into the field. More women in the field will bring greater diversity in skills and talents, she said. For women hoping to succeed in the field, Kerr recommends seeking mentors, which is more difficult for women to do than men, she said. Kerr also recommended focusing on more academics than on relationships during their undergraduate years. She estimates that 20 percent of engineering students are women — "Place your career goal on an equal footing with your relationship goals," Kerr said. "Make sure they equal out eventually." Edited by Taylor Lewis CRIME Man appears in court on suspicion of rape A 49-year-old rural Lawrence man, who was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of rape, had his first appearance yesterday afternoon before Douglas County Pro Tem Judge James George. The defendant appeared from the Douglas County Jail by video before Judge George. The man is suspected of raping his 20-year-old daughter by use of either force or fear. Sgt. Steve Lewis, a spokesperson for the Douglas County Sheriff's Department, said the victim reported she was raped in the man's home South of Lawrence Saturday about 8 p.m. He was questioned at the sheriff's office and placed under arrest at about 1:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.

INTERNATIONAL Spy film causes tension ISLAMABAD — The Indian James Bond can disarm a bomb while flying a helicopter, dodge bullets from deadly assassins and save his country from nuclear disaster. But getting into cinemas in neighboring Pakistan has proved to be an impossible feat. ASSOCIATED PRESS Pakistan banned the Indian film "Agent Vinod" a few days before its scheduled release, likely because of its critical portrayal of the country's generals and spies. They are shown providing support for the Taliban in Afghanistan and scheming to set off a nuclear suitcase bomb in archenemy India's capital. "It was our judgment that it should not be allowed to be screened," the vice chairman of Pakistan's Film Censor Board, Muhammad Ashraf Gondal, told The Associated Press on Monday. "It falls under the negative codes of our censor." The film, which was scheduled to open last week in Lahore and Karachi, likely hit too close to home because it echoes real criticism of Pakistan — admittedly, in the exaggerated style of India's popular Boliwood film industry. Although Pakistan has never been accused of trying to detonate a nuclear weapon in India, it has sponsored Islamist militant groups who have carried out attacks in the country. It helped the Taliban seize power in Afghanistan in the 1990s to counter Indian influence, and many believe support for the group has continued despite Pakistan's denials. "Agent Vinod is for Indians, but it is not against Pakistanis," said the movie's lead actor and co-producer, Saif Ali Khan, in an interview with the IndoAsian News Service. "But I understand if they get upset because we are beating them up quite often in the film." The Indian film shows Pakistani officials encouraging terrorist attacks in India and financing Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant group founded with the ISI's support in the 1990s focused on pressuring India to give up Kashmir. Agent Vinod is certainly not the first Bollywood film to be prohibited in Pakistan. The government imposed a blanket ban on all Indian movies in 1965, following a bloody war between the two countries. "If you feel this is unreasonable or not true, then it is fair enough," said Khan, the actor-producer. "I think it is all quite true." | | | | 4 | 8 | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2 | 6 | | 4 | 8 | | | | | 4 | 1 | 9 | | | 7 | | | | | 3 | | | | | 7 | | | | | | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | | | 4 | | | 8 | | | 5 | | | 6 | 9 | | | 1 | | | 2 | | 7 | | | | 5 | | | | 3 | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | 9 | | | 1 | 7 | 3 | | | | | 6 | 2 | | 9 | 8 | Difficulty Level ★★★ 3/27 CPIUBGP YWUY KUX DNYG YD GNPXL UQQ WTG LUEG TX WTG UBYDKDCTQP, T'L GUE WP' G IUFFPL ZDF QTZP.

The director of "Titanic" "Avatar" and other films is using a specially designed submarine to descend nearly seven miles to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, an area 200 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam. He began the dive Monday at approximately 5:15 a.m. localtime, according Stephanie Montgomery of the National Geographic Society, where Cameron is an explorer-in-residence. The scale of the trench is hard to grasp — it's 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and more than a mile deeper than Mount Everest is tall. It was expected to take Cameron 90 minutes to reach the bottom aboard his 12-ton, limegreen sub called "Deepsea Challenger." Once there, Cameron planned to spend six hours collecting samples for biologists and geologists to study. The return trip to the surface was forecast to take 70 minutes.

'The Walking Dead' has a place in nature PERSONAL INTEREST Ever since I discovered George A. Romero's 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead," I was intrigued by the idea of a zombie infested apocalyptic world. Naturally when I heard that AMC was making the series "The Walking Dead" (TWD), based on the graphic novel by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, I had to see it. What interests me about zombie stories is seeing how the characters strive to survive and what they will do in order to live and see another day. The difference with TWD is that they have longer than an hour and a half to tell the story; therefore, it gives the writers a lot more time to develop the characters By Jacob Moffitt jmoffitt@kansan.com My zombie entertainment has all come from movies, so far,and while watching TWD,I realized that with a series the writers have a lot more issues that the are still a lot of cheesy and slow dramatic scenarios that occur in the series, but I try to ignore that part of the show. The difference is it doesn't only depict the characters as only trying to survive. Since the series is set over a span of months, the show is able to show the development of a society and the formation of a "The cast of characters in "The Walking Dead" seem to be heading back to this idea of nature, the only major difference is that somewhere in their world they are being hunted by the flesh eating walking dead." characters can deal with, rather than just striving to survive the apocalypse. The movies seem to never cover the idea of the characters creating a new society. The only concern they have in the movies is to survive. For the second season of TWD, they begin to broaden the dialogue into more relatable topics, such as choosing a leader of the group and how to act as a civilized society. There government in which they try to create a civilized society despite the flesh-eating "walkers" that are hunting them down. As time continues, the show depict how their democratic society tends to unravel under the circumstances. What is intriguing is when they begin to discuss the ethics of murdering a human, someone who is not a "walker." The group holds hostage a young man named Randall and Rick, the group's leader, comes to the conclusion that for the safety of the group, they have to kill him. Another member of the group, Dale, cannot believe that this is a viable option that they are considering to take. Dale comes to the conclusion that if they kill this man, the world that they once lived in and knew would be dead. With all this said, it brings up the idea of how in nature there is no moral construct to live by. For example, Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his "Discourse on the Origin of Inequality" states that in a state of nature, there is no need for moral virtues, because there is no set form of society or community. The cast of characters in "The Walking Dead" seem to be heading back to this idea of nature. The only major difference is that somewhere in their world, they are being hunted by the flesh-eating walking dead. When Dale is killed off by a walker, it proves to show that their moral center and the world that they knew is also dead. Rousseau claims that, in a state of nature, there is no morality because there is no civilized society revolving around it in order to create moral codes for what is good and bad. It seems that the cast of TWD is beginning to distance themselves from a civilized democracy. They are returning to a world of nature with instincts that revolve only around surviving; they are one step closer to completely lacking a moral civilized society.

ADVICE Starting small will make exercise goals achievable By Michael Sofis msofis@kansan.com Many of us have heard that when starting a new exercise routine you need it to take it slow. But when we don't find out exactly why we tend to fall into the same patterns that keep us from our exercise goals. When starting a new routine for instance, we often apply a lot of pressure and set too many goals too quickly. If we fail to meet these goals it's likely we feel disappointed and a high pressure experience at the gym is in it of itself unpleasant. Both instances are indicative of punishing our own behavior of attending the gym. One of the most effective ways to understand what motivates our exercise behavior is through the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (Applied Behavioral Science at KU). The simple principles of reinforcement and punishment can explain and even predict when we engage in a particular behavior more (reinforcement) or less (punishment). There are varieties of reinforcement and punishment but in the context of exercise we often punish ourselves unknowingly. Therefore, give yourself small and achievable goals so that when you meet them you feel satisfied and likely to continue. Also make your workouts as enjoyable as possible while still getting a workout. Bringing a friend is a great way to take your attention off of the unpleasant aspects of the workout. "Ever since I was a freshman I've been trying to go to the gym consistently but after a few times I start to slip and eventually drop it. I've never been super athletic and I have trouble motivating myself. What should I do to motivate myself?" These simple principles from Behavior Analysis give you a framework to achieve workout goals in conjunction with other Second, give yourself a nudge, literally. The authors of a bestselling behavioral economics book Nudge reference various gym strategies to motivate their clients on their blog (www.nudges.org). One gym gives $50 of credit for every 10 visits per member that can be applied to future gym dues. Another gym in Boston worked with Behavioral Economics students at Harvard to give members free memberships for a month contingent on them working out at least four times a week. If they failed to do this for a week, they paid $25, and if they quit altogether, they paid $75. Almost everyone stayed in their routine and became consistent gym-goers. specialized info. In this case for instance, reading information about exercise and nutrition is equally important to making sure you're working effectively towards your goals. Drinking heavily and eating poorly for example reduces the effectiveness of your exercise routine and weight loss program. This makes your gym efforts less reinforcing for future behavior and from a nutritional perspective reduces performance and long term health. So start small and go with a friend, find nudges to give yourself, and supplement your program with good-quality information. Sofis is a senior in applied behavioral science from Pittsburgh, Penn. Curious why people engage in certain irrational behavior? Send an email to: kansanopdesk@gmail.com LEGISLATION HOR passes bill permitting guns Senate wary of conceal and carry By Matthew Nygaard mnygaard@kansan.com students should not be allowed to carry guns on campus, conceal-carry license or not. However, students may soon be allowed to bring guns on campus if pending legislation in the Kansas legislature is passed. On March 12, the Kansas House of Representatives passed House Bill 2353 by a vote of 70-54, which would allow people with conceal-carry permits to take guns into government buildings, including buildings on the campuses of state universities, such as the University of Kansas. While the bill was well received in the House, there is not such a favorable outlook in the Senate. The State Senate leader Steve Morris (R-Hugoton) said "I think it's a The House bill allows weapons to be brought into government facilities "The more guns the more likely someone will use a gun." unless the buildings have "adequate security measures", which are defined as electronic equipment and personnel at public entrances to detect and prevent people from carrying weapons into the facility. Therefore, a security checkpoint similar to those used in courthouses would be necessary to prevent carrying guns into campus buildings. Supporters of the legislation have said allowing students to carry guns on campus could make campuses safer. The Bill's sponsor Rep. Forrest Know (R-Altoona) said the bill "is about safety." Rep. Owen Donahoe (R-Sawnee), a supporter of the bill, said "people feel they have to take means to protect themselves. That's what the constitution supports, and that's why I supported it." Detractors believe college campuses do not need weapons on them. Ballard (D-Lawrence) has said that "college campuses do not need weapons." The debate about whether weapons should be allowed on campus has been highly contested. I'll admit that both sides have worthy points and determining what side of this issue I came down on was difficult. On one hand, guns on campus could help promote safety in some cases. Generally, shootings on college campuses are not stopped by the University police and because they happen so quickly, there is limited time to respond. Shootings continue until they are stopped by professors or students, or by the person with the gun. Guns on campus could potentially stop a shooting from going as far as they have in the past. In some cases, it may be better to have a shootout than a massacre. However, there is also risk associated with guns on campus. The more guns, the more likely someone will use a gun. College students' actions are especially unpredictable based on emotions, stress, relationships, and life changes they experience. Most students will not use guns violently but allowing them to carry them on campus increases the probability some may. The State has a duty to try to protect students on campus from any increased threats of violence. The difficulty is that students who want to bring guns on campus still could. Rep. Forrest Knox (R-Altoona) asks a valid question: "You're not afraid of illegal guns that are already there, but you're afraid of law-abiding citizens who are carrying guns?" Knox's point shows further measures are necessary "People feel they have to take means to protect themselves,that's what the constitution supports, and that's why I supported it." arguing campus police can provide sufficient safety on campus. Dr. Jerry Wolfskill, the Associate Vice President of Public Safety at Johnson County Community College, said it would be "pretty tough on students" because they'd be forced to go through metal detectors to go to class. Rep. Valdenia Winn (D-Kansas City) said "I don't think it creates the environment you want to promote" and Rep. Barbara OWEN DONAHOE Representative to ensure students are unable to carry guns on campus, legal or not. It either needs to be all or nothing. Either all people should be allowed to carry guns on campus, both those who carry them illegally or with a concealed carry license, or no one should be allowed to carry guns on campus. For the sake of the safety of students and the cautions that should be taken after shootings have devastated the nation the wiser choice would be the latter.

He earned all 65 votes and became the first unanimous AP All-American since Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin in 2009. Robinson played sparingly two seasons ago as a freshman and played just 14.6 minutes per game last season but was a dominant force this year while leading the Jayhawks in points and rebounds. Other First Team selections include Kentucky's Anthony Davis, Creighton's Doug McDermott, Michigan State's Draymond Green, and Ohio State's Jared Sullinger. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor earned a Third-Team selection after averaging 17.3 points and 4.8 assists per game this season. 2 SELF EARNS PAYDAY With the Elite 8 3 With the entire 8 victory over North Carolina on Sunday, Bill Self's bank account will experience a considerable increase. According to Self's contract, he earns a bonus check of $100,000 for making the Final Four. His Big 12 regular season championship earned him an extra $50,000 and should the Jayhawks win the National Title, Self will receive an extra $200,000. ALL-AMERICAN SHOWDOWN IN NEW ORLEANS. Thomas Robinson and Ohio State center Jared Sullinger will be the first AP First Team All-Americans to meet in this year's NCAA Tournament. Kansas and Ohio State met back on Dec. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse in which the Jayhawks won, 78-67. Sullinger didn't play, however. He was suffering from back spasms at the time and decided not to play the morning of the game. He's averaging 17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds for the Buckeyes this season and is a rare back-to-back All- American. 4 FOUL TROUBLE COULD BE KEY Both Ohio and Both Ohio and Kansas have relatively small rotations and neither team has had much room for error when it comes to foul trouble. The Jayhawks have only two legitimate big men and the Buckeyes have three. After that, things get tricky for both squads. Ohio State didn't have a single off the bench play more than nine minutes in their Elite 8 victory over Syracuse while Kansas' best forward off the bench is Kevin Young, who's known more for his hustle than post defense. If either team gets in early foul trouble, it could become disastrous.

CHRIS NEALKANSAN NCAA TOURNAMENT Casinos pick Kentucky as national champion LAS VEGAS — Sin City casinos are sticking with Kentucky and Ohio State as Final Four favorites and still think the Wildcats have by far the best shot of winning the NCAA title. Odds put out by Nevada casinos after the matchups were set show they think Kentucky — the No. 1 seed overall in the tournament — has a 52 percent shot at the title despite needing to win two more games, gambling expert RJ Bell of Pregame.com told The Associated Press. "Clearly, Kentucky feels like a significant favorite." Bell said. Casinos believe Ohio State has a 25 percent chance, Kansas a 15 percent chance and Louisville an 8 percent chance, Bell said. Cantor Gaming, which operates six sports books in Las Vegas and shares its lines with the vast majority of Nevada's 186 sports books, made Kentucky a 9.5-point favorite over Louisville and Ohio State a 3-point favorite over Kansas for Saturday's semifinals. Kentucky's odds over Louisville are the widest gap between two teams in a semifinal matchup since 1999, Bell said. Associated Press KANSAS STATE Rumors of Martin's departure continue, move uncertain CORBIN MCGUIRE Kansas State Collegian The number of reports surrounding the future of Frank Martin increased on Monday. David Cloninger posted on his Twitter around 6:30 p.m. CDT on Monday, "South Carolina has scheduled a basketball press conference at approximately 10:30 a.m. [EDT] on Tuesday ... to 'discuss the men's basketball coaching situation'" Cloninger also posted on his Twitter that the press conference would open to the public but that it will be streamed live on gamecocksonline.com. According to the website for the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees a meeting will take place at 10 a.m. EDT. Andy Shain, a reporter and editor for The State, a South Carolina newspaper, posted on his Twitter Monday that the "USC Board of Trustees meeting for tomorrow has been moved to a suite at Colonial Life Arena" Cloninger wrote "the official presser will begin after the BOT meeting, which is set for 10 a.m.", on his Twitter after the press conference was announced. The University of South Carolina is looking to replace Darrin Horn, who finished his last season as head coach of the Gamecocks with only 10 wins and in last place in the Southeastern Conference standings. Cloninger's Twitter also said a source with insight to the negotiations told him that Martin's contract is supposed to be worth between $1.75 and $2 million in his first year, with increments throughout the deal. The source told Cloninger that the contract is either five or six years. Robert Cassidy, however, wrote in an article Monday on GoPowercat. com "Kansas State basketball coach Frank Martin will become the basketball coach at South Carolina, according to media reports, but a source close to the negotiations denies that the deal is done." Cassidy continued by quoting sources close to Martin that said an agreement between USC and Martin were "close to complete." Shakey Rodriguez, Martin's mentor and former high school coach, confirmed to Cassidy the inklings that the reasons behind Martin's interest in USC come from a damaged relationship with K-State's Athletics Director John Currie. Recruiting could also be affected if Martin accepts the job. There is speculation among the media that Robert Upshaw, the Wildcats' top recruit, may decide to re-open his recruitment. Cassidy said in his article that the family of Upshaw had no knowledge of Martin leaving when he contacted them by phone. THOMAS TURNER If Martin does leave K-State, he will have led the Wildcats to three consecutive NCAA tournament bids and recording at least 20 wins in each of his five seasons as head coach.

A: None kuathletics.com 1 THE MORNING BREW Higher expectations for the Jayhawks When I arrived on campus four years ago, it was on the tails of the 2008 National Championship. The basketball team was optimistic even though it was about to lose all five starters from the team that won the championship. I didn't know when, but I was sure that sometime during my four years of college, Kansas would make it to the Final Four. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com That first year, they had an unfortunate matchup in the Sweet 16 with eventual National Championship runner-up Michigan State. Not even a 20-point effort from Sherron Collins could lift the team to victory. This was followed by the back-to-back disappointing losses that linger in the minds of all Jayhawk fans. Last year's loss to VCU in the Elite Eight was especially hard, because I thought the Jayhawks were the most talented team left in the tournament. It was also hard, because with the departure of four starters, the Jayhawk line-up did not look on paper like a team that would be able make a deep tournament run. As the season went on, although I was always on alert for a stomach-punch game, the way the team was playing made the hope I thought had died begin to return. The key was not getting my hopes too high, but the thought still lingered in the back of my mind. When the game began yesterday, butterflies bounced around in my stomach. But when the Jayhawks played well early on, the nerves disappeared. For the first time all tournament, the Jayhawks didn't start sloppy. Actually, the quick pace was exciting. It was fun watching the Jayhawks and Tar Heels go back and forth. But as the clock started to wind down, foul trouble piled up, and I wondered to myself, "Could the Jayhawks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Would foul trouble derail the Jayhawks and end my time as a student fan in disappointment?" The heartbreak of the past two seasons entered my mind. The Jayhawks went on a run and my fears were squashed. As Jayhawk fans, we are spoiled. We expect our team to win it all every year, and everything less is viewed as a disappointment. Eight straight conference titles is an amazing achievement, yet every year we've come to expect the Jayhawks to come out on top. Most schools rarely make it to the Final Four, but this is Kansas' second appearance in five years. But the sustained KU success is why the expectations are so high. Most students would be thrilled to make multiple trips to the Sweet Sixteen during their time in school, or even making the tournament every year. At smaller schools, a birth — simply making the tournament — is an achievement in itself. But then again, Kansas isn't "most places," and when a school is competing for the title of the most storied program, sustained success isn't good enough; it's greatness that counts. And greatness is measured by making it to, and winning, in the final weekend. Edited by Anna Allen This week in athletics Tuesday Softball vs. Missouri State 4, 6 p.m. Springfield, Mo.

By Andrew Joseph ajoseph@kansan.com The Kansas Athletics office sent an email to the All-Sports Combo holders about the opportunity to see the Final Four for just $25. This offer includes both semifinals and the title game, and the seats are on the floor. Although it may sound too good to be true, this is a legitimate deal that students should take advantage of. The 2009 Final Four in Detroit was the first time this student-seating model was used, and while North Carolina cruised to an 89-72 victory over Michigan State, the packed student sections were rocking the entire game. When Mario Chalmers hit his miraculous game tying three-pointer in 2008, Lawrence was the center of the Kansas championship festivities as thousands of people flooded Massachusetts Street in celebration. As students, we see the images of the raucous celebration during the basketball introduction video, with dreams of recreating the scene in the streets. QUICK HITS: Robinson and Taylor named All-Americans, Bill Self's Final Four bonus check Frank Martin trades K-State for South Carolina PAGE 6 PAGE 6 I know that Kansas' students take basketball passion to a new level, but a strong majority of the country does not get to watch the Jayhawks on a consistent basis. This is the time to prove it. Allen Fieldhouse gives the basketball team a tremendous home-court advantage, but the Jayhawks will need a "Phog" atmosphere brought to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to help them succeed. Playing with fellow basketball powers Kentucky, Louisville and Ohio State joining the Jayhawks in New Orleans, this weekend will be the ultimate measuring stick of student passion. I hope that fans can resist the temptation to stay in Lawrence solely to celebrate on Massachusetts Street. And besides, Bourbon Street is not a bad alternative. Just four years removed from the 2008 title, downtown Lawrence may very well relive that monumental night, but I sincerely hope that Kansas fans purchase and fill those 700 student section seats. — Edited by Max Lush The Kansas student section was named as the Naismith Student Section of the Year, but a poor showing in New Orleans would make it appear undeserving of the award. Last year's Final Four is the perfect example of what's at stake for the Kansas students. The Connecticut Huskies, winners of three national championships, are one of the nation's elite basketball programs. The school has a proud history of success in both the men's and women's game, but their students' absence in Houston was embarrassing. The students from Kentucky, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth were are well-represented in Houston, but Connecticut was so bad that the NCAA gave away tickets to students at local Rice University and University of Houston, so basketball fans across the world didn't have to see an empty student section for the national championship. Frank Martin trades K-State for South Carolina PAGE 6 NCAA TOURNAMENT 2012 A TALE OF TWO COACHES BILLVERSUS ROY Two coaches, two opinions, one outcome MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com What happens on the hardwood gleams, and for good reason, but often doesn't say it all. The rapid ascension of junior forward Thomas Robinson, the timely sea change of senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and the mental and physical growth of junior center Jeff Withey have been well documented. So have their highlights. The players did their part, and they're at the forefront of the reality that is a ticket to the Final Four in New Orleans. But on Sunday in St. Louis, where Kansas turned a dream into an actuality, there was something else in play, and it steamed from the sidelines. There was coach Bill Self vs. coach Roy Williams. When there's enough big-engine columnists tooting as they do, you've got predetermined sentiments. Self, some is, a young but accomplished winner who may or may not have a questionable track record in March. Williams, some say, is a living legend who may or may not have lost a step. Let's allow Sunday's game to decide how much these sentiments really matter. Self ran a zone defensive scheme called the triangle-and-two to disrupt North Carolina's interior scoring and force deep shots. He had seen excellent scoring from forwards John Henson, Tyler Zeller and James Michael McAdoo, who tallied a collective 24 points in the first half. Self said after the game that he consistently operated this scheme in the final eight or nine minutes of the game. "I know they did for one possession, and they may have for a second possession. I'm not sure about that," he said. "We got a very good shot. It just didn't go in the first time, and then again, I'm not sure if they were actually in it the second time. But we had J. Watts on the left wing, we had Reggie in the corner and we had John eight feet away. And we had some good shots. They just didn't go in." Perhaps Williams saw these looks by guards Justin Watts and Reggie Bullock as his best bet. However the Tar Harls scored 47 points in the first half, the most points Kansas allowed in a first half all season. Williams had his own take on the scheme. They did so by finding Henson, Zeller and Michael McAdoo. They either abandoned this plan in the second half, which may seem odd because we're told not to mess with success, or quite possibly, Self's scheme worked exactly how he planned it. "Sometimes," Self said, "when you get an open look, you don't knock it down, you think a little bit." In the final 8:34 of the game, the Tar Heels missed 12 of 13 shots. In the final four minutes, when the Jayhawks snatched the game with a 12-0 run, the Tar Heels missed all seven of their shots. Freshman guard Stilman White, Williams' replacement for the injured Kendall Marshall, took two of those seven shots. "We were able to keep the ball out of their bigs' hands and take away their two shooters." Self said. "And the thing about it is, you got to rebound out of it. And you know, they're a great rebounding team, but I thought we rebounded the ball as well as we have in a long time." Rebounding had been Self's gripe for much of the season, but Kansas outrebounded North Carolina 41-35. The big-engine columnists may give Williams a pass. One game will probably never ravage a legacy. However, Williams' own words about this one particular game say enough. He thought the triangle-and-two lasted one, maybe two possessions. He also had another thought. "I think," Williams said, "that the emotions the last four minutes, or something like that, I think that took over a little bit, too." Or something like that. COURTNEY ROBERTS Edited by Jeff Karr CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN North Carolina Coach and former Kansas Coach Roy Williams yells at his team as Bill Self watches during Sunday night's game in St. Louis. W BASEBALL Team prepares for Missouri State Junior first baseman Jake Marasco quickly tags his opponent during game one against North Dakota on March 6. Marasco and his teammates will take on the Missouri State Bearers in Springfield, Mo., tonight at 6:30. KANSAN FILE PHOTO MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com The Baylor Bears swept the Kansas hayhawks baseball team this weekend, winning all three games of the weekend while outscoring Kansas 27-8. Tonight, the Jayhawks will travel to Springfield, Mo., to take on more Bears — the Missouri State Bears. Things won't get any easier for Kansas: Missouri State enters the game ranked No. 29 in the country by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Baseball Poll. It's the first time Missouri State has been ranked in the top 30 since 2009. "We have to make sure we bounce back tomorrow after this disappointing weekend," Marasco said. "You never want to start off your conference season 0-3, but it's a long season Team captain and red-shirt junior first baseman Jake Marasco said Kansas travels to Missouri State looking to make a statement. The Jayhawks have put a lot of runners on base all season, but struggle to find the clutch hit. In the three games against Baylor, Kansas left 30 runners on base. and we just have to stay positive." "We just need to have a good approach," Marasco said. "Don't try and do too much and hit the ball hard somewhere." "We need to get comfortable with playing in a hostile environment." The Bears come into Tuesday's game on a seven-game winning streak and a 19-6 record on the season. They've beaten Big 12 schools Oklahoma State twice RITCH PRICE Kansas baseball coach and Texa Tech once. The Jayhawks enter the game sputtering. The team sits at 10-13 on the season and have lost six of its last eight games. Playing at Missouri State gives Kansas another away game to learq from. In 10 home games, the Bears have lost only twice this season. The Jayhawks are 8-12 in 20 games away from Lawrence this season. "We've played a lot of games on the road to prepare us for our conference schedule," said coach Ritch Price after Sunday's loss. "We need to get comfortable playing in a hostile environment." The two teams match up well offensively. Kansas has scored 103 runs to Missouri State's 128. Kansas is hitting .262 this season while Missouri State is hitting .264. Both teams are also pretty even in the homerun department; Kansas has hit 12 to Missouri State's 11. Kansas will send freshman starter Drew Morovick,(2-1, 5.09 ERA), to the tomb to try and stop the losing streak. He will face Missouri State junior starter Cody Schumacher, (2-0, 5.46), at 6:30 p.m. Pitching is the area Missouri State has found its success this season. The Bears' pitching staff has posted a 2.35 ERA this season. The Jayhawks' pitching staff is far from dominant, posting a 4.26 ERA on the season. — Edited by Gabrielle Schock FOOTBALL "Assuming Williams is able to take care of business off the field, it wouldn't be surprising to see him make an immediate impact on Dave Campo's defense. An article on turburfer.com said. "At the very least, he should help provide depth for a unit that was severely lacking in it last year." The trouble that Williams got in at Nebraska wasn't his first time, either. He was accused of robbing a man in 2008, according to journalstar.com. The charges were later dropped and Williams pled to lesser charges, including assault. Kansas signs former Nebraska lineman Regardless of his past, Williams is now with Kansas and could play a big role for the Jayhawks' defense in the 2012-2013 season. He had 27 tackles in his three seasons with Nebraska, three quarterback hurries, one tackle for a loss, one forced fumble and one blocked kick. Just as Kansas gave Charlie Weis a second chance, the Jayhawks are giving former Nebraska defensive end Josh Williams one, too. Williams, a 6-foot-4, 260-pound lineman from Denton, Texas, was dismissed from Nebraska in February due to a violation of team rules. Weis has given Williams another chance though, and the timing is crucial because Kansas' defensive line needs reinforcements. On Monday, Kansas Athletics confirmed the signing of Williams, who played in a total of 29 games on the Cornhuskers' defensive line. Williams completed his degree at Nebraska and will transfer to Kansas in June to be eligible for the 2012 season. Williams had scholarship offers from Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others, out of high school. Mike Vernon Volume 124 Issue 122 kansan.com Wednesday, March 28, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 BUSINESS MORGAN LAFORGE/KANSAN POLICE A police officer stands guard on Massachusetts Street after Kansas' victory against North Carolina Sunday. Thousands of fans flooded the streets. Money flows on Mass after Sunday's game LUKE RANKER lranker@kansan.com Students flooded the streets Sunday following the game, which left businesses swimming in cash. Nick Schwerdt, a sales associate at Jock's Nitch, 916 Massachusetts St., said the store stayed open four hours longer than its usual Sunday hours following the Elite Eight game. Schwerdt, a junior from Topeka, said Jock's Nitch printed their own Final Four T-shirts and sold them as quickly as they were printed. "The shirts were literally hot off the press," he said. Schwerdt said Jock's Nitch sold out of the three batches of Final Four shirts following the game, and the store doubled its usual Sunday staff to help manage the crowd. Liam Kirby, a manager at Mass Street Pub and Tonic, 728-730 Massachusetts St., said both bars were crowded from Sunday afternoon until close at 2 a.m. He said the only lull in business occurred when fans rushed into the street following the game and, with the exception of a few ill-tempered customers, there was no issue with the crowd. "It really showed a lot of school spirit," Kirby said. Tom Wilson, owner of Teller's at 746 Massachusetts St., said business was slow during the game, but once the game ended, the bar at Teller's had many sales. "Alcohol sales more than offset costs lost from dining," Wilson said. He said he expected the crowd to be large for a Final Four or championship game, but he was surprised by the size of the crowd on Sunday. Wilson said he plans to hang a banner from the building to better market Teller's for the Final four game. "When we have events like this that are impromptu, we have to figure out what works," he said. Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said in an email there were no major problems regarding the crowd, and he was unaware of any major property damage or traffic issues. "The crowd was friendly and problems that arose were generally minor." McKinley said. Wilson said the only issue at Teller's involved a few individuals running across the business roof. "It was concerning, but officers dealt with it quickly," he said. Schwerdt said the crowd that came into Jock's Nitch was easy to manage because most people only wanted to buy a Final Four shirt. "People come to Lawrence just for Mass Street," Kirby said. "I don't think there's anywhere in the world that celebrates like we do." - Edited by Caroline Kraft KU FOOTBALL STARTS AFRESH PAGE 9 1 First National Bank KANS FO KU BREAKOUT STAR Young steps up during NCAA tournament PAGE 7 HEALTH Allergy season arrives at KU as tree pollen hangs in air MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring allergies for students at the University.

Center. "It wasn't as cold this year, and everything is blooming earlier." Dohogne said she noticed that students develop allergy symptoms during their first year at the University, which she attributed to moving to a new climate. Now that trees and other plants are budding, pollen is in the air, which is a main source of seasonal allergies in this area, she said. "Allergies are expected to be worse this spring." While she was not sure how many students were affected by allergies, Dohogne estimated that a majority of people suffer from allergies to some extent. Over-the-counter antihistamines can be effective at alleviating symptoms, but prescription nasal steroid spray or allergy shots can be used as well, she said.

"I think we've seen a lot of student groups who have come up out of nothing, maybe in contrast to the heavily sponsored and funded groups in student leadership."

ASSOCIATED PRESS Santorum attacks Romney WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum, showing signs of fatigue and frustration while grasping for strategies to right his unsteady White House bid, is trying to derail Republican front-runner Mitt Romney using any means available — even contradictory messages. Santorum has called Romney "the worst Republican in the country" to challenge President Barack Obama, but in a subsequent interview he said he would consider serving as Romney's running mate. He is not letting pass a vulgar fight With The New York Times while betting big on the health care debate, which his campaign says is intensifying at the perfect time to resurrect his fading candidacy. "This is the most important issue in this election." Santorum declared outside the Supreme Court on Monday while attorneys inside debated the constitutionality of the president's health care law. "There's one candidate who uniquely disqualified to make the case. That's the reason I'm here and he's not." Seizing on the health care debate as Romney focuses on the nation's economy, Santorum is fueling tea partyers' lingering skepticism about the former Massachusetts governor, who signed into law a state-based health care program that helped inspire Obama's plan. He dismisses Romney's broadening support as the product of political elites, while pitching himself as an up-from his-bootstraps candidate who came from "public housing" — a misleading claim that offers a stark contrast with Romney's life of wealth and privilege. In spite of Santorum's loosely plotted uphill strategy, a growing number of establishment-minded Republicans are coalescing around Romney. On Monday, GOP House Whip Kevin McCarthy of California became the latest member of the party's leadership in Congress to sign on. Romney remains on pace to capture the nomination in June. The challenge seems to push Santorum to fight harder. "He's the worst candidate to go against Barack Obama on the most important issue of the day," Santorum said Monday, highlighting the Massachusetts health care law Romney signed in 2006. It requires all Massachusetts residents to purchase insurance, the same "individual mandate" in question in Obama's law.

Romney described Russia in those terms while criticizing President Barack Obama for his caught-on-tape remarks to Medvedev that he would have more room to negotiate on missile defense if he is re-elected in November. During a briefing Tuesday in Seoul, where he and Obama were attending a nuclear security summit, the Russian leader said Romney's remarks "smacked of Hollywood" and sounded as if they came from the Cold War era. Medvedev advised the White House hopefuls, including Romney, to "rely on reason, use their heads," adding, "that's not harmful for a presidential candidate." He further said, "It's 2012, not the mid-1970s, and whatever party he belongs to, he must take the existing realities into account." NATO's U.S.-led missile defense plans have long been an irritant in relations with Moscow, which has rejected the U.S. assurances that the shield is needed to fend off an Iranian missile threat and voiced concern that it will eventually grow into a threat to Russia's nuclear deterent. In a Monday meeting on the sidelines of the summit, Obama's remarks to Medvedev were picked up by a microphone without either apparently knowing. "This is my last election," Obama was heard telling the Russian president. "After my election, I have more flexibility." Medvedev replied in English that he would convey the message to Vladimir Putin, who reclaimed the presidency in an election earlier this month and will formally take office in May. AFRICA South Sudan bombing derails political summit JUBA, South Sudan — Sudan's military bombed an oil field in South Sudan on Tuesday, a South Sudan official said, as a dangerous flare-up in border violence appeared to scuttle plans for a presidential summit between the two countries. Unity State Minister of Information Gideon Gatpan said Sudan dropped at least three bombs near oil fields in the town of Bentiu. Gatpan said the extent of any damage wasn't immediately known. The attack comes one day after Sudan and South Sudan clashed in the disputed border town of Jau, prompting Sudan to cancel President Omar al-Bashir's trip to meet with South Sudan President Salva Kiir next week. South Sudan broke away from Sudan last year, but tensions between the longtime foes have remained high. Despite the increased violence, South Sudan held out hope the presidential meeting could still happen. South Sudan Minister of Information Barnaba Benjamin Marial said the south still expects al-Bashir to attend the meeting next week, saying South Sudan had not received an official cancellation from Khartoum. Among the unresolved issues is the demarcation of the border and an agreement to share oil revenue. South Sudan earlier this year stopped pumping oil because it said Sudan — which owns the pipelines the south's oil must travel through — was stealing its oil. Marial said the south believes that "forces of war" in Khartoum were trying to derail the peace process, but not al-Bashir himself. He said the south would not take the bait. Nuclear weapon storage worries world leaders ASIA SEOUL, South Korea — Material that can be used to make nuclear bombs is stored in scores of buildings spread across dozens of countries. If even a fraction of it fell into the hands of terrorists, it could be disastrous. Nearly 60 world leaders who gathered Tuesday in Seoul for a nuclear security summit agreed to work on securing and accounting for all nuclear material by 2014. But widespread fear lingers about the safety of nuclear material in countries including former Soviet states, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran and India. "It would not take much, just a handful or so of these materials, to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people and that's not an exaggeration, that's the reality that we face." President Barack Obama told world leaders at the meeting, a follow-up to a summit he hosted in Washington in 2010. There's an "immense difference between the difficulty of making safe, reliable weapons for use in a missile or combat aircraft and making crude, unsafe, unreliable weapons for delivery by truck." Matthew Bunn, an associate professor at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. The Nuclear Threat Initiative, a Washington-based nonproliferation group that tracks the security of world nuclear stockpiles, said in a January report that 32 countries have weapons-usable nuclear materials. Some countries, such as the United States, maintain strict controls already. However others, including Russia and other former Soviet republics, have struggled to secure their stocks, raising fears of "loose nukes" falling into the hands of terrorist groups. It's unclear how nations will enforce the summit's goal of securing nuclear material by 2014. SOUTH AMERICA Brazil works to stop sexual exploitation of minors BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil has taken on more than 2,000 websites that promote Latin America's biggest country as a sex tourism destination, the Tourism Ministry said Tuesday. In 2011, the ministry identified 2,169 websites with photos of women in sensual poses and invitations for sexual encounters with minors, the ministry said in a Tuesday statement. Many of the sites were hosted in the United States. The ministry said that 1,100 of the websites have eliminated their sex-oriented content and that it was trying to convince the remaining sites to do the same. Early last year, Brazil started distributing posters and ads warning that sexual exploitation of minors is a crime. They were distributed in countries from where most tourists to Brazil come from — the United States, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Spain. Tackling the websites is part of an ongoing campaign to combat the sexual exploitation of minors during the 2014 World Cup. "The exploitation of sex is a crime and those responsible for it must be punished," Tourism Minister Gastao Vieira said in the Tuesday statement. He said the ministry's campaign that focused on Brazil's "natural beauties, cultural diversity and friendly people" helped attract more than 5 million foreign tourists in 2011. 2012 Become a Naismith Hall For information on how to apply, email: RANaismithHall@gmail.com For information on how to apply, email: RANaismithHall@gmail.com gmail.com Granada TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE カレ NILE FT.

LOS ANGELES — The Emmy wheel has finally landed on Jimmy Kimmel. it will be the first time that Kimmel has hosted the Emmy ceremony, which rotates on an annual "wheel" among the four major broadcasting networks. CULTURE "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" premiered in 2003, but when ABC last broadcast the Emmys in 2008, five reality-TV stars hosted in an ill-bid bid to win over young viewers. The resulting ceremony earned terrible reviews and record-low ratings. "We love television and look forward to working with the Television Academy and ABC in creating a show that is fast-paced, humorous, unpredictable and at times irreverent, but clearly celebratory of our incredible industry," executive producer Don Mischer, who will oversee the show for a record 12th time, wrote in a statement. The Emmy show will air live on both coasts. McClatchy Tribune Despite age, da Vinci's art holds up ASSOCIATED PRESS One of only four existing female portraits by Leonardo, the oil painting shows a young woman in three-quarter profile wearing a low-cut red and blue dress as she holds a white ermine. Historians believe the subject was Cecilia Gallerani, the mistress of the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, when she was 16 or 17. Da Vinci painted it around the year 1490. WARSAW, Poland — Bark beetles and old age have damaged Leonardo da Vinci's 15th-century painting "Lady with an Ermine," but the masterpiece is still holding up well. "The painting is 500 years old and has been subject to all the processes of aging," said Janusz Czop, the chief conservationist at the National Museum in Krakow. "Still, it is in very good condition, thanks to the technology that da Vinci used," Czop said, noting the master painted on durable wood. The painting was recently exhibited in various European capitals but Czop said the trips did not hurt it. Nonetheless, authorities have decided not to let it leave the museum again for at least 10 years.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE 'Hunger Games' becomes canvas for allegories LOS ANGELES — "The Hunger Games," the teen action-adventure film that is opened to big numbers last weekend, is, without question, a parable of the Occupy Wall Street movement. It's also a cautionary tale about Big Government. And undeniably a Christian allegory about the importance of finding Jesus. Like the Suzanne Collins bestseller on which it is based, the movie about a teenage girl fighting for her life in a televised death match in a dystopian post-apocalyptic country that has replaced America has a whiff of political content. But that has been enough to make a lot of people sniff out their own messages. "The Hunger Games" has become the rare piece of Hollywood entertainment: a canvas onto which opposing ideologies are enthusiastically projected. Pundits at Fox News saw a certain meaning. "The Hunger Games" is "a furious critique of our political system, in which the central government grows rich from the toil of the masses," Fox News contributor James Pinkerton wrote on the network's website. Collins and director Gary Ross leave a lot of blanks: Viewers don't know, for instance, how the country sank into the dystopia. And unlike other young-adult literary sensations that have become hit films, such as the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" series, "The Hunger Games" exists in a world much like ours. There are no fantastical elements. "The Hunger Games' has this feeling of being contemporary and political but without being really clear what its politics are," said Robert Thompson, a professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University. On the youth-oriented politics site Policy Mic, blogger Danny Keener argued that the story is a morality tale about the dangers of a political system where the wealthy dominate. "Only a handful of Gamakers exist" Keener wrote, referring to the exploitative group that stages the brutal Hunger Games, "but they are powerful, controlling just about everything connected to the Hunger Games themselves. The New Testament content of the film is also hard to miss, at least according to those who home in on the triangle of main characters.

If squirrels were to give "swirlies," would they be called "squirrelies?" Future of 3-D lies in hands of 'Hobbit' MOVIES I can't call 3-D a worthless gimmick anymore. Complete artists such as Martin Scorsese and Werner Herzog have proven it's not just the tool of schlock-meisters. With "Hugo" and "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," they've elevated its purposes and explored this new format, revealing its indispensable cinematic capacity in the face of the apparently digital future. Now, another brilliant director could save 3-D from its current floundering. Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" will be released on Dec. 14 and it is a foregone conclusion that it will be a financial success, but whatever box-office records the movie shatters will have a greater effect on the future of movies than on Peter Jackson, J.R.R. Tolkien or any of their fans because of the innovations implemented in its production. A triumph of profit and creativity could ensure the death of celluloid film and ultimately bring cinema back to its novel origins. For those not up to speed, here's an explanation of what is happening behind the scenes of "The Hobbit." This adaptation of the original journey through Middle Earth will be shot in 3-D at 48 frames per second. The first feature everyone's familiar with, but the second is what could perfect it. The current visual quality of 3-D has a major problem — the noticeable blurring of subjects moving within the frame — critically when the frame itself moves, and clarity of movement is essential for anything called a "movie." If "The Hobbit" is shot and projected at 48 frames per second, the strobing effect should be lessened, perhaps eliminated. Throughout the country, theaters are being made capable of projecting at 48 frames to ensure that audiences get the full experience of "The Hobbit." This could pose a problem, because what will improve 3-D has so far ruined 2-D. By Michael Coy mcoyl@kansan.com Every movie you've seen has been projected at 24 frames per second. That has been the industry standard since the late 1920s. There is a small, but insignificant blur. We're shown slightly less information than what we ourselves can perceive. Movies have endured using this frame rate for nearly a century. In the digital age, we've been able to experiment with higher frame rates, so far to failure. If you walk into a Best Buy, you'll come across a television that makes a Hollywood movie look like a crap video. The subjects' movements are clearer, but the subjects themselves don't seem as if they belong in their environment. This is due to digitally increased frames per second. What supposedly looks clearer and more "realistic" in 2-D actually shows us something we have never seen in reality. It's confusing and distracting, both of which are detrimental attributes for a film. So Jackson's experimentation is a great financial gamble. Will audiences accept the image he's captured? What will happen if they do? 3-D stands upon the edge of a knife, so to speak. What happens if it strays? I think the current trends point to an eventual undoing of what movies have become. If 3-D is proven a form with visual and creative integrity, more directors will use it, giving theater owners a financial incentive to switch to digital projection, which is ultimately cheaper than film projection. When celluloid film has nowhere to be exhibited, it will become museum novelty. After 3-D has finished off celluloid, it will be the only form suited for talented, ambitious young directors in a landscape dominated by the flavorless 2-D digital image. It will be the only way for anyone to explore the image with the same exuberance set by Scorsese, Herzog and Jackson, while subsequently giving the hacks flashier tools. Now, if audiences don't accept theater prices for these 3-D events, the industry will simply devolve at the same pace it has been. If they do, however, how long will audiences or directors tolerate the teasing limits of 3-D and the inability of its subjects to completely escape the confines of the screen? How long before the frame is gone and, as Scorsese has predicted, "Hamlet comes out into the middle of the audiences and does 'to be or not to be?'" If 3-D triumphs, then the discipline of the four-sided screen will eventually be told to disappear. By that time, regardless of whether 3-D has succeeded, 2-D movies will have become as common as YouTube videos. If you don't believe that, check out the new Lytro still-camera, which allows its photos to be refocused after they're taken, a feature that when adapted to movie cameras will make the skill of cinematography moot and allow more and more amateurs to pursue this field. The market, now flooding because of semi-automation, will drown in an advent of complete automation and non-existent budgets. The future of 3-D is about nine months off. Let us settle in for the deep breath before the plunge. ACTIVISM George Clooney's arrest prompts action, not just social awareness Coy is a sophomore in film and media studies from Lenexa. Everyone knows George Clooney got arrested, and everyone knows it's because he was protesting actions by the Sudanese government. Clooney's campaign is good for the situation in Sudan, despite what some say, and it's not just because we're all talking about it; it's because he knows the importance of including action in building awareness. By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com Clooney's arrest has many in the U.S. commending him for being a passionate and dedicated humanitarian, but some others are taking a more critical approach. As I know it is important to view any such campaign with a critical eye, I welcome this perspective. But I disagree with those who claim Clooney's attention-grabbing campaign isn't helping Sudan. Before addressing the totality of his campaign or the outcome, I first want to point out where Clooney is coming from. He is, in fact, an actor, not a scholar or a historian, who has taken a significant humanitarian interest in the country for a long time. He's used his own resources in a responsible way in doing personal, firsthand research into the conflict and reporting facts as he sees them, as well as learning from country experts and other humanitarians. This does not immediately qualify as effective campaigning, but before we start ragging on him for just being a rich, white man doing a publicity stunt in the name of humanitarianism, we must remember that so many in his position do not do a thing. That, of course, doesn't mean we have to love everything Clooney does—think we all remember "Batman & Robin." In all seriousness though, having good intentions doesn't mean you're necessarily doing the right thing. Clooney is, however, at least partially doing his campaign the right way. He immediately issued a call to action asking the United States to prevent further crisis in Sudan and to oppose Bashir's method of attacking regions with disregard to innocent civilians. Instead of bringing the problem to our attention, Clooney is demanding something be done about it. This hasn't satisfied some critics. One blogger for the Guardian likened Clooney's simplified analysis of the situation in Sudan to the problem-riddled Kony 2012 campaign. Yes. Clooney's explanation is in simple terms (again: actor, not scholar). The picture of the conditions in Sudan that Clooney paints does neglect the nuances and intricacies of the conflict. That must be acknowledged. But comparing his efforts to Kony 2012 does not make much sense Though there are many more actors at play in the conflicts between the Sudanese government, South Sudan, militias, and other parties, the fact of the matter is that the government in Khartoum is to blame for much of the destruction and killing of civilians. The fact is that President Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. Though so much information is left out of the equation, there is still value in targeting the truly guilty party that is the government of Sudan. Without such simplification, Clooney's message could not have gotten out to such a large audience. Without that circulation, there would continue to be little action on behalf of innocent Sudanese. Would we rather have no outside opposition to the Sudanese government at all? Organizations such as Amnesty International have been able to use the hook of Clooney's arrest to create more venues for action and to increase knowledge about the warrant for Bashir's arrest. And with an individual as prominent in American culture as one of Hollywood's biggest actors calling on them to act, U.S. government officials are probably more likely to pay attention. Clooney's message has spurred not only awareness but action. By putting action for change at the forefront of his campaign, he is paving the way for a movement toward stopping violence.

Our government fights people we buy oil from by creating an endless alphabet soup of organizations, with acronyms such as TSA, DHS, KGB and NAMBLA. It's very easy to be overwhelmed with the myriad regulations and redundant, invasive protocol. Of course, what can you expect from the same people who brought you the Department of Motor Vehicles? Vlad the Impaler was far more merciful with his subjects, simply because he expected them to die after their arduous suffering. Our democratic republic, on the other hand, apparently wants to prolong our agony as long as humanly possible. Whenever I board a plane, I wringy reniquish all my basic human rights, just like children at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. This really doesn't make the electronic denuding, loveless rage by eye or groping any less disconcerting. Fellow citizens, we live under the reign of a soft and soft-core tyranny. "Even the more pleasant-looking TSA guards wear expressions as if they've eaten a bowl of gravel and quicklime for breakfast. ." Maybe I watched too many John Wayne movies as a kid, but I'd much rather tackle a terrorist than get naked against my will. A terrorist can only take my life (probably). My government can take my freedom (definitely). You may ask, why don't I protest this injustice? I could be a modern-day Rosa Parks. The simple fact is, I have a profound fear of pits and pendulums. "Mr. Torquemada, there is a nervous passenger at gate 45. Please assuage his fears." As I write this, the paranoid quarter of my brain fears being placed on the "No Fly" list. Apple Dumpling Gang don't rob trains in this century is because those passengers are free to pack Vulcan cannons for all the conductors care. To put this into perspective, who exactly invents a machine that virtually strips people? I can only conceive that these machines were designed by middle-aged men sporting pencil moustaches who ordinarily spend their evenings watching "Toddlers and Tiaras." In terms of economic damage, think of the exotic dancers, whose livelihoods could be destroyed by these nudifiers. But if we eliminate airport security, won't we have 9/11 every day? If you think that's the case, try riding an Amtrak train. I suspect the reason that Jesse James, Team Rocket and the By Daniel Obermyer dobermyer@kansan.com a bowl of gravel and quicklime for breakfast. Never once has one of them reciprocated my tension-induced flirtations. At least they're not nervous; they don't have to imagine everybody with their clothes off. The best rule of thumb is to never exhibit the slightest bit of resentment no matter the degrading treatment. As "The Simpsons" so sagaciously pointed out, "The law is powerless to help you, not powerless to punish you." Like any entrenched and armed bureaucracy, the TSA won't go away without a fight. What, then, is the solution? Other than banning air travel altogether, I suggest a serious change of presidential regime. Forget a Mormon or a Muslim president; I want an Amish one (but Ron Paul would be very nice as well). Obermeier is a junior in history from Olathe.

V ) PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SEASON REVIEW Making the grade: Kansas players had a memorable year KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com RYAN MCCARTHY rmyccarthy.com Bunny Williams, freshman forward Grade: C KANSAN FILE PHOTO A young player who showed improvement when Davis stepped out, Williams provided important minutes during the home stretch for the Jayhawks. Although she was not a consistent contributor, Williams occasionally provided important offensive rebounds and minutes when Sutherland, Davis and Gardner got into foul trouble. Look for Williams to progress throughout this off-season and be a key contributor off the bench in her sophomore campaign. Carolyn Davis, junior forward Grade: A KANSAN FILE PHOTO Despite a season-ending left knee dislocation and ACL tear, Davis turned in 23 respectable games with a team-high 16.9 points per game. Davis had surgery on her ACL on Tuesday and is expected to be back for next season. Although injured, Davis continued to support her team by guiding the freshman forwards and providing insight in a de facto coaching role. Davis was named to the All-Big 12 first team and finished third in the NCAA in field goal percentage with 59.8 percent. Natalie Knight, freshman Natalie Knight, freshman guard Grade: B+ Grade: B+ KANSAN FILE PHOTO Knight started every game this season and showed great promise as a freshman. She averaged 5.9 points and 3.1 rebounds. She also had the lowest number of turnovers among the consistent starters. As the season progressed, she was asked to make greater effort, and she did. In conference play, she averaged 6.1 points per game, which isn't a great improvement, but she took 18 more shots and developed a knack for hitting impact three-pointers and continually improved on her number of aggressive plays. POSS Aishah Sutherland, senior forward Grade: A- Aishah Sutherland, senior forward Grade: A- KANSAN FILE PHOTO One of the most athletic players in all of women's basketball, Sutherland wowed people with her bounce and rebounding ability, but her calming presence on and off the court kept the Jayhawks loose and relaxed, especially during their Sweet 16 run. Sutherland was a monster on the glass finishing third in the Big 12 with 9.1 rebounds during the conference season. She finished the season as the premier rebounder on the team with 303 total boards. Although Sutherland got into four trouble occasionally, she provided a much-needed boost especially after Davis went out with her injury. KANSAS 13 Monica Engelman, junior guard Grade: D KANSAN FILE PHOTO Engelman lost her starting position this year after 21 games. She sat out one of the exhibition games and the Delaware game in the second round of the tournament. Engelman is a captain and started every game last season, so the time on the bench was surprising. Early in the season, Henrickson said Engelman's shooting form had changed in the off-season. She averaged 7.8 points per game in 26.1 minutes, but had 86 turnovers this season. If she makes some changes to her offense and gets back on Henrickson's good side, she will be able to contribute more next season. Chelsea Gardner, freshman forward Grade: B KANSAN FILE PHOTO Put in the difficult position of replacing Garolyn Davis, Gardner was asked by the coaching staff to get better each game and not try to be the star forward. In her 10 starts, Gardner did that and more, putting together a nice home stretch that included two double-doubles against Nebraska and Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament. Gardner will only continue to improve and has the body frame and basic post moves to eventually become a force in the conference. The main thing she needs to work on for next year is staying out of foul trouble. CeCe Harper, sophomore guard Grade: B KANSAN FILE PHOTO Harper started 12 games as a substitute for Monica Engelman. She was one of the team's best perimeter defenders. In the Delaware game, she was singled out in the diamond-and-one defense and bothered Elena Delle Donne despite her significant size disadvantage. Harper was a spark on offense and made aggressive plays, finishing with 32 steals and averaging three points per game. Bonnie Henrickson, coach Grade: B KANSAN FILE PHOTO Henrickson made this team resilient. After losing two transfers and Davis to injury, she was able to rally the team and keep them focused. In her eighth year with Kansas, the Jayhawks reached their first NCAA Tournament since 2000. There were many ups and downs this season, but she proved herself and likely cemented her job with the late tournament run. She was able to engineer an impressive season, despite challenges and has good recruits coming in next year. Tania Jackson, sophomore forward Grade: B- KANSAN FILE PHOTO Battling burn knees for much of the season, Jackson continued to push through the pain and be the emotional leader for the team. Jackson's mentality as a spark plug during the season helped Kansas, especially when asked to guard taurt player players. She showed her emotions on the bench, too. Jackson lost her voice from shouting most games and always led the team in the pregame fire up the team. If Jackson can stay healthy, she'll be another key player for Kansas next year. Angel Goodrich, junior guard Grade: A+ KANSAN FILE PHOTO Goodrich was named AP All-American Honorable Mention on Monday. She started every game this season and averaged 37.5 minutes a game. She led the young Jayhawks through almost every possession while increasing her own production on both ends of the floor. She averaged 14 points a game and led the nation with 7.4 assists per game. She was also one of the premier defenders, with 82 steals and 30 charges taken. She finished the season with four-straight 20-point games. Goodrich provided the consistency the Jayhawks needed to stay focused and continue to win after losing Carolyn Davis. Goodrich is still a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which honors the country's best point guard. Asia Boyd, freshman guard Grade: C KANSAN FILE PHOTO Boyd only played in 18 games, despite entering the program as the highest-ranked recruit in coach Henrickson's eight years. She averaged three points and 10 minutes per game and had 18 turnovers in the season. She has a strong shot and can make impact plays, but does not tally enough minutes to really make a difference.

In his eight years at Kansas, he had reached just one Final Four and fell victim to a series of ESPY-winning upsets. Self hushed all doubters Sunday as Kansas defeated North Carolina in the Elite Eight, advancing to Kansas' 14th Final Four. "At Kansas, winning is a relief, and losing is a disaster," he said in Saturday's press conference. "We've got to relish the opportunity to be the team that is chasing as opposed to the team that is chased all the time." To lead this team to college basketball's final weekend is a masterstroke. After all, this was supposed to be Self's rebuilding year. Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson were the only returning players with legitimate experience. But Self has led this team to heights greater than the previous two Kansas squads, which oozed NBA talent and boasted gaudy records of 35-3 and 33-3, respectively. Self is a prime candidate for National Coach of the Year. So how did this Kansas team advance further in the NCAA Tournament than those led by Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins? Self may have partially answered that question the day before his team's 80-67 victory against the Tar Heels. Indeed, when Kansas is hunted, it tends to play tight and therefore fails to showcase its abilities. This usually happens when the Jayhaws play lower-seeded (and often "mid- major") opponents. Does VCU ring a bell? How about Northern Iowa? And who could forget Bucknell and Bradley? Taking an in-depth look at Self's NCAA Tournament performances is eye-opening. Every year from 2000 to 2012, Self has led a team to the tournament. During this 13-year period, he has accumulated 12 losses. Nine of them have come to lower-seeded teams. Since 2000, Self has lost to an equal or higher-seeded team in the NCAA Tournament just three times. Case in point: Kansas' two most recent wins against North Carolina — the first in the 2008 national semifinal, the second on Sunday. When the pressure is gone, so is the weight of the world on the Javhawks' shoulders. Simply put, Kansas is as vulner able as Goliath, but as lethal as David. And that's just the role Kansas should embrace heading to New Orleans — the hunter, sporting its road blue jerseys and clashing against teams that had greater expectations at the beginning of the season. Kentucky was ranked second in the preseason polls, Ohio State third. Louisville seventh. Self summed it up before his team's Elite Eight victory: "I like the thought of our guys thinking that were the hunter" It's a positive, stress-free mind-set that may just give Kansas an edge Saturday night in the Louisiana Superdome. Edited by Ian Cummings ASLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Defensive risk seals Kansas victory MEN'S BASKETBALL PAT STRATHMAN pstrathman@kansan.com An unorthodox defense helped win the men's basketball team a trip to face Ohio State in the Final Four In basketball, defense can win championships, and Bill Self knows that. At the 11:52 minute mark of the second half of the NCAA Tournament, North Carolina had 61 points. Over the previous eight minutes, the Tar Heels scored 14, and in the eight minutes before that, they scored 16. The Tar Heels were setting the tempo and were on pace for 80 points. Then, with 6:36 left in the half, Kansas coach Bill Self reached into his bag of tricks. He stopped playing man-to-man and ordered the Jayhawks to play a the triangle-and two defense. Kansas beat North Carolina 80-67. Self also ran the triangle-and-two against Purdue in the third round, which Kansas won. Both Purdue and North Carolina saw their shooting percentages drop under 30 percent when Kansas ran the triangle-and-two. The hybrid In the North Carolina and Purdue games, Kansas' two man defenders were junior forward Travis Releford and junior guard Elijah Johnson. Against Purdue, both had to guard senior forward Robbie Hummel and junior guard D.J. Bvrd. The other three Kansas players played zone. Junior forward Thomas Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey stood on the left and right sides of the basket. Both players have to defend the post and extend to the corners if the ball goes there. Sunday, Self put Releford and Johnson on North Carolina sophomore forward Harrison Barnes and sophomore guard Reggie Bullock. Then, the fifth player stands at the free-throw line. Usually, this position is reserved for the team's best, quickest and hardest-working defender. Senior guard Tyshawn defense is a mix between a man-to-man and a zone defense. Most teams use this to defend two excellent scorers and three average players. In this strategy, two defenders play man-to-man against the two scorers. Taylor earned this role with his quickness. Taylor's responsibility included covering the free-throw line area and above while also sliding down and covering the low part of the lane when the ball flies to the corner. The defense is tricky and can be beat by cuts to the basket. Even wide-open shots are sometimes given up. That didn't happen in Kansas' road to the Final Four. In the victory against Purdue, sharp-shooter Robbie Hummel scored 22 points in the first half. The defensive switch held Hummel to just four points in the second half. The Boilermakers only scored 24 points and shot just 28.6 percent in the second half after shooting 54.5 percent in the first, and the Jayhawks escaped with a 63-60 victory. THE TRIANGLE AND TWO X = OPPONENT = ZONE DEFENSE = KANSAS PLAYER = MAN TO MAN DEFENSE Sunday, the same thing happened to North Carolina. The Tar Heels shot 63.6 percent in the first half and then were confused by Kansas' triangle-and-two. North Carolina shot 22.6 percent in the second half. The top-seeded team in the Midwest region collapsed down the stretch, missing the final nine shots and 14 of 16 in the teeth of the lethal triangle-and-two. The Tar Heels did not score a point after a Harrison Barnes free-throw with four minutes left to play, and the Jayhawks marched out The triangle-and-two defense can be risky, but for Bill Self, it's just another coaching adjustment made to put another Final Four banner in Allen Fieldhouse. of St. Louis with the victory. Edited by Ian Cummings The All-American clash: Robinson vs. Sullinger MEN'S BASKETBALL KANSAS 0 TEAHAN 2 IFSSICA IANAS7/KANSAN FII F PHOTO Junior forward Thomas Robinson raises his arms to get the crowd excited as the Jayhaws prepare for defense during overtime against Missouri on Feb. 25. Robinson will face off against Jared Sullinger on Saturday for the first time. KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Although the Bluegrass State showdown between Kentucky and Louisville is stealing most of the headlines this week, the national semifinal match up between Kansas and Ohio State features something that Kentucky's first-round picks and Rick Pitino's years of experience don't have: First Team All-American against First Team AllAmerican. At the same position, no less. And while Saturday will be the second meeting between the schools this season — Kansas defeated Ohio State 78-67 in Lawrence on Dec. 10 — it will be the first time junior forward Thomas Robinson and Ohio State sophomore forward Jared Sullinger will face each other. Sullinger was unable to play during the first meeting because he suffered from back spasms, which led to a lighthearted exchange between coaches before the game. "Merry Christmas early," Buckeye coach Thad Matta said to Bill Self as they shook hands, referring to the injured player. Self described the encounter a little differently. "I don't think his exact words were, 'Merry Christmas,' Self said, smiling. "I think there were some other words in there, maybe describing the holiday." There won't be any such funny encounters Saturday night in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Sullinger is healthy and has scored 18 or more points six of his last seven games. Robinson is healthy, also finishing with 18 points in Kansas' last two victories against Purdue and North Carolina. It's not certain if the duo will match up with each other, though, due largely in part to Deshaun Thomas' versatile game. He said the coaches will see how things pan out and that Robinson and Sullinger will definitely guard each other a little bit, but they'll have to wait to see how the match-up down low unfolds. "Deshau is more inside-outside slash post," Self added. "He can stretch it." With Sullinger sitting out the first game, Robinson had 21 points in one of his most efficient games of the year, going seven of nine from the field and seven of eight from the free-throw line. Now, the country will get to see both All-Americans at full strength with a chance to play on Monday night for the national championship. "Yeah I'm excited, but at the same time it doesn't matter who I'm going against, because it's the Final Four," Robinson said of playing Sullinger. "I don't care if it's a sixth grader." Edited by Taylor Lewis MEN'S BASKETBALL Recent performances prove Young's versatility ICI MATSON cmatson@kansan.com He scored two points from free throws and made zero field goals in the biggest game of the season. That means junior forward Kevin Young played no important role in the Jayhawks' victory against the Tar Heels, right? KANSAS 40 Wrong. Young was an invaluable player off the bench for Kansas, providing instant energy, grabbing eight rebounds and battling against the formidable Tar Heels' frontline, arguably one of the best in the country. "I'm a hustle player, go after loose balls, get extra possessions, set screens, move the ball, score when I have the opportunity to score, don't force nothing and play within the offense," Young said of his game. It's hard to describe Young's style of play, but he's a versatile, multidimensional player who understands his role. Kevin Young's playing time has increased to 16.5 minutes per game during the NCAA Tournament. Witje Willey describes Yug as the team's "energym奴." JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN FILE PHOTO In a critical stretch during the game when the Jayhawks were ahead 62-61 with just under 12 minutes remaining, Young pulled down three offensive boards in the span of a minute. When Young recorded the third offensive board in that span, he dished it out to Tyshawn Taylor, who converted a two-pointer to extend the lead to three points. Young's rebounding essentially started an 18-6 run for the fayhawks, which propelled them to victory. "He is our energy guy," junior center Jeff Withey said of Young. "When he came into the game, he grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, tipped them back out and he started the run for us. We love him. He's a scrappy player." Coach Bill Self has leaned on Young more in the NCAA Tournament than the regular season. In conference games, Young averaged 11.2 minutes per game, but during the NCAA Tournament, he is averaging 16.5 minutes. "He's been great," Self said of Young's performance in the NCAA Tournament. "The last few weeks or so, he's pursuing the ball as well as anybody we have in our program. I have total confidence going to him off the bench. He and Jeff are fine; he and Thomas are fine. There is no problem going to him in any situation." has indicated that Kansas does have some players who can significantly contribute off the bench. Young's specialty is his ability to take charges, thus forcing opponents to turn the ball over to the Jayhawks and swing momentum in their favor. "Kevin has been coming in and giving us good minutes," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "When he comes in, he's a spark of energy right away, either with a put-back or a dunk or tapping the ball to give us an extra possession. Kevins play in the tournament has been big for us." For a team that has relied heavily on its starters because of the lack of depth, Young's recent performance When Young joined the basketball program, Self thought he would be the best loose-ball player on the team. Kevin does more on the stat sheet than any other player on the team. Self said. "If he plays eight minutes, he's going to find some way to get on the stat sheet," Self said. "He's one of those guys that finds a way to impact the game as soon as he checks in. He's definitely active. We haven't had anyone like Kevin in awhile." eight shots, including two threepointers. Young said even though Ohio State was ranked higher than Kansas going into the game, he knew his team was better. Young's performance against the Buckeyes Saturday could once again determine the outcome of the game. He knows this will be Young was the biggest reason why the Jayhawks defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes on Dec. 10, scoring 14 points in 24 minutes. In that game, Young made six of his the final or only opportunity some players have of winning the national championship. "Some of us aren't coming back next year," Young said. "I don't want to send anybody off with a loss."

He unveiled his first depth chart yesterday. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com When Charlie Weis was first introduced as the head coach of Kansas football, he made a promise that the off-season was going to be a grueling one. On Tuesday, he was able to report back on that guarantee. "It was a pretty grueling program that coach Holsopple and his staff ran," Weis said. "It was very easy to get the players to buy in, because they didn't have an alternative; it was either buy in or quit." Kansas' football team is now ready to start the spring practice season, which Weis detailed in his press conference Tuesday. For the first time, Weis released a tentative depth chart based off the winter program. Highlighting the depth chart was quarterback Dayne Crist, who transferred to Kansas from Notre Dame. Along with the depth chart, Weis said his goal for the team this spring hasn't changed much since the winter. "I need to break the team down and then build the team back up," Weis said. "That is what the off-season has been, and that is what the spring will be all over again." That demanding off-season that Weis talked about led straight to his goal of building the team back up. Instead of getting caught up in the technical aspects of football, Weis and his staff are focusing on the team's fundamentals. The staff is doing so, because while they'll be able to implement their system later. Weis said there is something more important they need to instill in their team now — confidence. "I think that their confidence was very low when I first got here," Weis said. "When your confidence is low, a lot of times, your caring level goes down exponentially. Those two things have risen exponentially. Their confidence has risen, and they certainly care. Anytime you have a hard-working team that cares, you have a chance." After the jayhawks' 2-10 season in 2011, a chance is all Weis can ask for. Weis will have 15 spring practices to get his team ready, which will be capped off by the spring game at 1 p.m. on April 28. Weis knows what people are going to be looking for during the spring game, which is the team's first public showing. "Can the defense stop anybody? and 'What's going on with Christ?' Weis said. "That's what everyone wants to know." "Really, at the end of the spring, we have to have some answers on that, and I'd like to think that our defense is going to be much improved, and I think that Crist will take care of himself."

Despite the lahaywhs' (23-7, 2-4) victory during the first game, coach Megan Smith said she questioned the team's demeanor in the early part of game one. "We started extremely flat," Smith said. "We're a team that plays hard and we pride ourselves on being locked in and ready to go. We really didn't see that in the beginning of the game today" Missouri State took advantage, putting up a run in the first inning on Kansas' pitcher freshman Alicia Pille. Still, Pille (11-4) kept the Jayhawks in the game until the offense came through. Kansas put only three runners on base throughout the first five innings, but the top of the lineup was due in the sixth. Sophomore infielder Ashley Newman, whose .380 batting average leads the team, led the inning with a bunt single. Two more singles loaded the bases with no outs for senior cleanup hitter Liz Kocon. MILLER ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO "It's really important for the lead-off hitter to set a tone and be a spark plug basically," Newman said. "I know I can depend on the people behind me to hit me in." Kocon did just that with a two-run double to right field, giving Kansas a 2-0 lead and its first runs of the day. Senior shortstop Mariah Montgomery knocked in two more runs to continue the rally, and the Jayhawks had all the runs they would need. The softball team walked away with a victory in its first game against Missouri State yesterday. The team lacked the intensity to hang on to a lead in the second game. In game two, despite jumping ahead with a three-run first inning, Kansas allowed Missouri State to chip away at the lead and ultimately win the game. Missouri State answered Kansas with a first-inning run of its own, making the score 3-1. Missouri State then put up zeros until a three-run fourth inning gave them a 4-3 lead and knocked KU's pitcher junior Morgan Druhan (7-2) out of the game. Kansas tied the score with a run in the fifth, but Missouri State had the answer again, scoring the deciding run in the bottom half of the fifth. "The second game, we started off really strong, locked in," Smith said. "The pitching just wasn't as sharp throughout the day, and it kind of got us in a little rut." Montgomery said the team knew it was playing a tough team but lacked the intensity needed to win both games. "We learned some lessons today about being locked in and being selfless", Montgomery said. "About looking at the front of the jersey and not the back and how we have to play for Kansas." The midweek matchup was a make-up series after rain postponed it last week. BIG 12 BASKETBALL Edited by Corinne Westeman LYNCH & GARRISON LYNCH & GARRISON ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State University athletic director John Currie, right, speaks to the media as university president Kirk Schulz looks on yesterday in Manhattan. Currie denied that a rift with Frank Martin was the primary reason the popular basketball coach left for South Carolina. Martin, K-State deny that bad blood caused departure ASSOCIATED PRESS MANATTAN — Kansas State athletic director John Currie admitted to having some differences with coach Frank Martin over the years. The two men didn't always see eye to eye. One thing they agreed on Tuesday: There was no rift in their relationship. "John has been great," Martin said during a conference call shortly after being introduced as the new coach at South Carolina. "It's unfortunate that I make a difficult decision and everyone's got to figure out a way to blame someone for the decision. That's not fair to anybody." Currie said he wished Martin well as he tries to turn around the Gamecocks. "We've always had interest in Frank Martin being part of the long-term fabric at K-State. That started from the time we got here," Currie said during a morning news conference at Bramlage Coliseum, which was attended by university president Kirk Schulz. Currie said he tried to restructure Martin's contract several times over the course of the season, and that Martin said he wanted to focus on his team. Currie even made a last-minute pitch on Monday when Martin called to inform him that he would accept the offer from South Carolina. "They wanted me at K-State," Martin said. "That was never in question." Currie said he would begin the search immediately for a new coach. He would not say whether he has a list of potential candidates and declined to offer a timetable for the hiring, though the relatively late start in the process puts him at a disadvantage. This will be the first time Currie has hired a coach of a major sport since taking over in 2009. "Transition is part of life," he said. "I completely understand how much many of our fans appreciate coach Martin. I, too, share that appreciation." Currie has been widely criticized for Martin's decision to leave an up-and-coming basketball school for one with scant success in a league known primarily for its football. Much of that stems from the public perception that a rift had developed between the athletic director and the high-profile coach, and the relationship became fractured to the point that it could no longer be repaired during the third round of the NCAA tournament. That's when senior forward Jamar Samuels was suspended for the Wildcats' game against top-seeded Syracuse for receiving impermissible benefits. Martin stood in his player's corner before and after the game, while Currie said he did everything possible to get Samuels cleared to play.

Ohio State, Kansas, Louisville and Kentucky all keep the hopes of winning a national title alive. Here is some background information on the matchups to look for this weekend. By Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com BLUEGRASS BITTERNESS Some punches might be thrown by the end of the Final Four. Even the two coaches don't like each other. OK, I don't wish for that to happen, but the showdown between Louisville and Kentucky will be incredible. The Kansas-Missouri rivalry is intense in the Midwest, but the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry is the basketball equivalent of Auburn-Alabama in football. Years ago, Louisville coach Rick Pitino helped Kentucky coach John Calipari get his first head-coaching job at Massachusetts. Pitino then beat Calipari in the 1996 national semifinals. Coach Calipari is still searching for a title. If you can't sense the hatred, consider this quote from Rick Pitino about Calipari. Last fall, Calipari said that Kentucky was the only major basketball program in the state. Pitino's response? "Four things I've learned in my 59 years about people," Pitino said on CBSSports, com. "I ignore the jealous; I ignore the malicious; I ignore the ignorant and I ignore the paranoid." Get your popcorn ready, because this game will be epic. LOTTERY PICKS Traditionally, the Final Four is a gathering of the most talented players the college game has to offer. These players can be seen shaking hands with NBA commissioner David Stern on draft night. In 2010, Butler's Gordon Hayward was the only Final Four participant to be selected in the first round in the NBA draft. Last year was better, with Connecticut's Kemba Walker and Kentucky's Brandon Knight being selected in the first round. This year will be different. At least five players are projected to be selected in the lottery portion of the NBA draft. Of those five, three are projected to be selected in the top five picks: Kentucky freshman forward Anthony Davis, freshman forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kansas junior forward Thomas Robinson. Ohio State sophomore forward Jared Sullinger and Kentucky sophomore forward Terrence Jones both could be selected in the lottery as well. Plenty of NBA talent will be shown in this year's Final Four. KU RFMATCH Before the season started, many droolled over the opportunity to see two of the best post players in the nation in the Kansas, Ohio State matchup. The game would have featured Thomas Robinson and lared Sullinger. That didn't happen on Dec. 10. Instead, Sullinger sat on the bench in street clothes. The Jayhawks won 78-67 against the Sullinger-less Buckeyes. The Jayhawks out-rebounded Ohio State 30 to 27 and held the Buckeyes to 39 percent from the field. Junior forward Kevin Young had his best game of the season, with 14 points off the bench. Now, both teams will meet each other again at full force for a trip to the national title. Ohio State has a healthy Sullinger, and the match that most dreamed about before the season will become a reality. The road to the Final Four is now complete. It's time to sit back and watch the fireworks.

Both were named Associated Press First Team All-Americans on Monday. They faced off all summer long in camps with the best prospects. Their first matchup was scheduled for Dec. 10, 2011, in Allen Fieldhouse, but Sullinger's back spasms kept him from playing. It's the battle we wanted in December but had to wait until March for. NBA scouts might not blink for two hours straight. But what the NBA wants doesn't really matter at the Final Four. The more meaningful matchup is the point guard position: senior Tyshawn Taylor vs. sophomore Aaron Craft. Taylor probably won the December matchup, dishing out 13 assists and leading his team to a victory. But Taylor also turned the ball over seven times — four directly influenced by Craft. Craft, who averages 2.5 steals a game, also forces tons of turnovers not tracked on a regular box score. According to Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn, who has tracked Craft's turnover production all season, Craft had taken eight charges, forced seven offensive fouls and created 40.5 miscellaneous turnovers in 36 games heading into the Sweet 16. The guy, simply put, is a defensive maestro. Taylor survived Craft's incessant defending in December. Taylor has also improved dramatically since conference play started, rendering everything he did before January almost useless to analyze. But if there's a player who can get Taylor to revert to his jump-passing and out-of-control-driving ways, it's Craft. A few bad stretches from Taylor could put the Jayhawks behind by six or eight points. Coming back against the country's second-best defensive unit, according to Kenpom. com efficiency ratings, wouldn't be a stroll down springtime Jayhawk Boulevard. It'd be an uphill climb up 14th Street. Taylor definitely has the tools to win the matchup. He's a better scorer and a focal point of Kansas' offense. If Taylor can handle the defensive pressure and limit turnovers, the Jayhawks will be in the game until the final whistle. But if Craft can disrupt Taylor's game on the offensive end, this game will come down to the role players for Ohio State and Kansas, where the Buckeyes might have the advantage. If he plays a great game, full of tough, driving layups and three-pointers he hasn't hit in the tournament, the Jayhawks will play on Monday night. Edited by Gabrielle Schock Jayhawks turn to unique defense PAGE 7 Basketball season review KANSAS 3 PAGE 6 EXECUTING SUCCESS Coach Bill Self tries to rally his troops during the second half of the Jan. 28 game against Iowa State , where Kansas trailed most of the game and was defeated 64-72, delivering their first conference play loss. The team has made an effort to absorb as much coaching as possible from Self throughout the season. 25 LEARNING CURVE,WINNING EDGE MAX ROTHMAN MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com KANSAN FILE PHOTO Since senior guard Tyshawn Taylor has been around, coach Bill Self has had the same belief. He's not here to coach effort. When he does, you've got problems — virulent screams, a reddened face and such. Instead, Self is here to teach execution. Where to set the off-ball screen to create an open three-point shot. How to double-team a forward who can play inside and out. When to take a risk on a steal or sit back and just play defense. These are some of Self's teachings of wisdom. He doesn't babysit or remind guys how to sweat. "The challenges are coaching guys when you have to manage egos, roles, chemistry and getting all the guys to buy in," Self said. "This has been one of the easier coaching jobs that we've had because it's been easy to get guys to buy in and be exactly what we want them to be." At the beginning of this season, the Jayhawks knew they were green. Other than Taylor, the Jayhawks hadn't played much. Last season, junior forward Thomas Robinson averaged 14.6 minutes per game; junior guard Elijah Johnson averaged 13.7 minutes per game and junior center Jeff Withey hardly sniffed playing time, checking in at 6.2 minutes per game. There was much to learn and the Jayhawks were open to this reality. suit," Taylor said. "We understood that we didn't understand" Tavlor said r "All of those things that caused us to lose those games are correctable." From the earliest hours of September's boot camp to this week's preparations for Ohio State in New Orleans, the Jayhawks have absorbed all they can from Self and his staff to execute as efficiently as possible. "Execution isn't our strong That much was evident against Purdue in the round of 32, when the Jayhawks shot 29.4 percent from the field in the first half but escaped with a 63-60 victory and advanced to the Swee TYSHAWN TAYLOI Junior point guan Sixteen. One thing Self and the Jay hawks agree could not be questioned, even a gainst Purdue effort. to get to that goal, we have to buy into him teaching us," Taylor said of Self. "We have to want to learn, we have to want to work hard, and we want to have to get better every day. That's the attitude we've had since the beginning of the season." " We understood Robinson has been a poster child of effort. He has grabbed 11.8 rebounds per game this season and posted 26 double doubles. These numbers don't happen without full-fledged energy. Now that the Jayhawks have gotten this far, they've had time to reflect on their flaws. They've analyzed the losses to Kentucky, Duke, Davidson, Iowa State, Missouri and Baylor. And in each loss, Taylor noted that effort wasn't the issue. Withey, perhaps the biggest project of them all, remembers what it was like before the season opener against Towson. "All of those things that caused us to lose those games are correctable," he said. "We came into the season a bunch of bright-eyed kids," he said. — Edited by Caroline Kraft Now they are a bunch of Final Four-bound Jayhawks. ADMINISTRATION KANSAN FILE PHOTO Barry Hinson and Bill Self laugh at Late Night in the Phog in 2009. ESPN, CBS report Hinson accepted position at USI CBS and ESPN have reported that University of Kansas Director of Basketball Operations Barry Hinson has accepted the head coaching position at the University of Southern Illinois, Kansas Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony could not confirm the news. Hinson worked at the high school ranks before becoming an assistant under Bill Self at Oral Roberts in 1993. He was named head coach in 1997 after Self left Oral Roberts, and he later became the head校 at Missouri State in 1999, compiling a record of 169-117. He was fired in 2008 and joined the Kansas staff in 2010. He has been with the University ever since. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Hinson's responsibilities include setting up team meals and making travel arrangements, among others. Hinson will replace Chris Lowery, who was fired after failing to make the NCAA tournament since the 2006-2007 season; The Salukis haven't finished in the top three of the Missouri Valley conference since 2008. -Kory Carpenter BASEBALL Pitchers lack consistency on the road SUNNY TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas' pitching struggled on Tuesday night against Missouri State, giving up a three-run lead early in the game. Although the coaching staff considers Tanner Poppe, pictured above, to have the best arm on the team, Poppe only played 1.2 innings Tuesday and exited the game with another loss, moving his record to 0-4 on the season. ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team (10- 14) continued its struggles away from Lawrence, falling to Missouri State 9-8 on Tuesday night. Tuesday night's game was a battle of two teams heading in opposite directions. Missouri State (20-6) is now winner of eight in a row, and the loss was Kansas' fourth-straight defeat and seventh in nine games. Looking to end a three-game losing streak, the Kansas offense put up three runs in the top of the first inning, but that lead was gone before the Jayhawks could record two outs. "This was a devastating loss," coach Ritch Price said. "This was the kind of game - had we won - that could have turned out season around." The Jayhawks' starting pitching staff was the focal point of the team's impressive 5-2 start in February, but that consistency dissipated as March rolled around. Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick lasted just a third of an inning before Price turned to his bullpenn. Morovick surrendered five runs on five hits and recorded just one out. With a 2-1 record and 7.50 ERA, Morovick problems often come in the early innings. "The problem with Drew today was that he was getting behind in the count every hitter and repeatedly found himself in fastball counts." Price said. "They are all juniors and seniors – a team picked to win their league – they didn't miss a barrel." Senior pitcher Jordan Jakubov struggled as well in relief, giving up three runs on four hits. Jakubov's ERA climbed from a solid 2.70 to 4.00. Freshman pitcher Robert Kahana stopped the bleeding with a scoreless 4.2 innings pitched, striking out three and one walk. The Kansas offense responded with four runs in the fourth inning, and junior shortstop Kevin Kuntz' leadoff triple in the sixth inning set up Ka'iana Eldredge's RBI single to tie the game at 8-8. 4 Junior closer Tanner Poppe entered the game in the seventh inning with two outs, and he was able to get out of two jams with runners on base. The coaching staff considers Poppe as Kansas' best arm, but he has struggled with the transition from starting pitcher to the closer. "Today, I really just wanted to simplify things," Kuntz said. "I wanted to use my hands and not use too much of my body in the swing." "I'm not sure exactly what it is about him," Price said "We'll watch the video tomorrow and breakdown the hitter analysis, but Tanner has a great arm. He's faced some tough luck here at the end of the last few ballgames." Poppe entered the game with an 0-3 record and 6.28 ERA plus three saves. Poppe went 1.2 inning, and junior shortstop Kevin Kuntz' leadoff triple in the sixth inning set up Ka'iana Eldredge's RBI single to tie the game at 8-8. Kuntz finished the game with a two-for-five performance at the plate with two runs scored and an RBI. Kuntz's basic approach at the plate helped keep the Jayhawks' rally alive heading into the later innings. nings Tuesday night, allowing one run on three hits; however, that run was the game-winner off the bat of Missouri State's Kevin Medrano. Poppe's record now stands at an alarming 0-4. With Kansas getting back into Big 12 play Friday against Texas Tech, the team is hoping that Holglund Ballpark can help put an end to the losing streak. "It always helps going back home and having our fans there, but at the same time, we need to keep going out there and play hard and compete." Kuntz said.

SEE INSIDE UNIVERSITY Interest rises regardless of lower ranking KELSEY CIPOLLA kcpolla@kansan.com For the third year in a row, the University School of Law has dropped in national rankings. Issued every year by U.S. News and World Report, the rankings were released earlier this month and placed the law school in a seven-way tie at 89. Last year, it was ranked 79 and 67 in 2010. Rankings are based on a combination of factors, including tuition cost, class size and graduate employment rates. The University's lower ranking was largely due to employment data. In 2010, the year used to formulate the rankings, 46.4 percent of students were employed at graduation and 78 percent were employed nine months after graduation. Employment rates were lower than in past years for most schools because of the recession. Law school communications director Mindie Paget issued a statement saying that the ranking system does not provide an accurate comparison of law schools and that the University's reputational score, based on the opinions of other law schools, lawyers and judges, is higher than any other school in the region and higher than some schools that were ranked in the top 50. "The good news is that national predictors and preliminary numbers for KU Law students in the Class of 2011 indicate that we've reached the bottom of our employment dip," the statement said. The law school made changes in light of the rankings, including reducing the class size from 165 students to 131. They also hire a new assistant dean of career services last fall and are working to make the career center more helpful to students. Alyssa Boone, a third year law student from Wichita, serves as an executive member of the KU Law student ambassadors program, which works to recruit applicants. Despite the ranking, Boone said students continue to apply. "This year, we have been one of two schools in the country that have actually seen an increase in interest," Boone said. When she was choosing where to apply, Boone said she based her decision partly on rankings. When it came down to where she actually wanted to go, other factors lead her to the University, including the financial aid offered and the cost compared to the quality of the education, she said. Michelle Fuchs, a senior from Leawood, is currently trying to decide where to attend law school next year. She is considering the national rankings of schools and their reputation, but most importantly the employment statistics of graduates. "I would say that of all my factors, rankings were probably the least important, because rankings can always fluctuate from year to year," Fuchs said. Although she hasn't made a decision, the University is still one of her top choices.

"A national title would be worthy of celebration, but we are confident those celebrations can take place without disrupting KU's academic mission," said Gray-Little in the press release. Gray-Little also announced a watch party held at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday evening with doors opening at 6 p.m. A petition against the decision has already been made at gopetition.com. The petition formally disagrees with the chancellor's decision and said, Friarell "we, the undersigned wish to state that we would like the chancellor to reconsider the decision and allow KU students to celebrate a University tradition of welcoming home the team, spending time with fellow Jayhawks, and celebrating a landmark that happens very rarely." Ellen Frizzell, a junior from Prairie Village hoped that classes would be canceled in the event of a national championship win "I agree that academics and athletics should be equal," Frizzell said. "But going to the Final Four is rare, and if we win, the championship game should be celebrated." Frizzell did not believe many students would show up for class Tuesday regardless of the chancellor's decision. She thought more students might show up for afternoon classes, but many people would stay out too late I will do it for you. I will do it for you. celebrating to make it in the morning.

"I agree with the Chancellor in keeping academics a top priority," Bachelani said. "However, I feel that attendance in classes Tuesday will be minimal." Bachelani plans to watch the game at Allen Fieldhouse and head down to Mass Street Monday night if the Jayhawks are victorious. He said students, as adults, always have the choice on whether they go to class or not. As for himself, Bachelani was still not sure if he would be in class Tuesday. "It's still up in the air," Bachelani said. "I will make a game time decision."

In preparation for the Final Four game Saturday, Jayhawk fans are participating in a new social media trend originating on Twitter. "KU Boobs" has fans boasting their favorite KU shirt and their chests hashtagging photos with #kuboobs. The popularity has led to its own twitter account, and now a Facebook page. A former University student, who said he only wanted to be identified as Kevin, created the @ KUboobs Twitter account during the North Carolina State game and now has more than 2,400 followers. Kevin wants the trend to promote school spirit by wearing their favorite game day shirts, but the trend became controversial when tweeters weren't wearing shirts at all, or displaying too much skin. "I don't support nudity at all," he said. "That's not what this is about." Other Twitter followers and fans like Ken Soap, @djsoap, who has more than 14,000 followers, wanted to grow the trend to promote school spirit. Soap began tweening and retweeting the hashtag. He also started a Facebook page called KUboobs. Kevin said the trend began when Twitter user Tiffany Kent, @mommyloveswine, tweeted the first picture of her chest wearing a KU t-shirt before the men's basketball game against Mizzou for good luck, hashtagging it #kuboobs. When the team came back from a 19 point deficit to win, it started catching on. "I thought it'd be great to see "I'm all for causes like that, but I think the meaning is lost when people aren't being classy about it," Canterbury said. "It makes it harder for people to support it and want to be involved." Kylee Canterbury, a senior from Omaha, Neb. posted her own "kuboobs" picture and supports furthering the cause, but thinks the nudity may hamper the idea. He said held like to use the popularity to promote a charity event or organization. Kevin said the KUboobs trend was a good platform for the future because it's eye catching. According to the KU Boobs Twitter, fans can by "KU Boobs" shirts from wavingthewheat. com with $5 going to the Willow Domestic Violence Center in Lawrence. Because the trend gained so much popularity, all three of the promoters want to use it for more than only encouraging school spirit. Canterbury said she gained more than 40 followers after posting her picture, which she said did not display nudity. "With the great response we got with just one school, we wanted to see if we could get it going around the world," Kevin said. "If it was national or worldwide, it could do a lot of good." "Boobs get people's attention," he said. Despite some negative comments and reactions to the trend, Canterbury believes it is ultimately about fun. more of it," Soap said. "It's definitely fun," Canterbury said. "I don't think I'll post any more pictures, but if people don't like it or don't want to hear about it, then they don't have to."

He was 22, however, and an undercover narcotics officer going by the name Johnny Ramirez. When his first semester progress report showed a 3.25 average, the baby-faced police rookie made a mental note: Stop turning in homework assignments. Eight months later, the ruse was up, and Exeter, a bucolic citrus-growing community in California's Central Valley, was turned on its ear after a school-day police sweep ended with a dozen Exeter High students in custody on drug charges. Some people wondered how the deception by Salinas could have gone on for so long in the small town of just 10,000 people. Others lamented that the problems of the big city had come to the quaint community of antique shops and historic murals set amid a stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. "It's amazing we were able to keep a secret in this little town for that long," said Police Chief Cliff Bush, who had been searching for years for just the right officer to pull off the undercover ploy. "People in little towns tend to know everything about everybody." Leading the campus sweep this month was the tall, lanky Salinas, dressed in the crisp black uniform and combat boots of the Exeter Still, there was no mistaking the boyish face and the wide smile gleaming with braces. Police Department instead of the T-shirts and sneakers he had worn as Johnny Ramirez. "A lot of jaws dropped when they saw me," Salinas said. "They knew me as that kid at school that they hung around with, and then the next thing they're in handcuffs and I'm in a uniform." POLITICS The sting got more attention from the media than a drug bust of 12 students normally would because of something the chief now laments: It happened the same week as the debut of the Hollywood comedy "21 Jump Street", which features — you got it — undercover cops fighting crime at a high school. Representative Bobby Rush makes symbolic statement ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Rep. Bobby Rush donned a hoodie during a speech on the House floor Wednesday deploring the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, receiving a reprimand for violating rules on wearing hats in the House chamber. The Illinois Democrat spoke out against racial profiling and, as he removed his suit coat and pulled the hood on the sweatshirt he was wearing underneath over his head, saying "just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum." Rush was interrupted by the presiding officer, Mississippi Republican Greg Harper, who reminded him that the wearing of hats was not allowed and "members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor." On Tuesday Martin's parents spoke on Capitol Hill at a Democratic-sponsored panel on racial profiling. A Johnson said in February that the path is in a student-centric neighborhood and the lights along the path would help students feel safer. The path was proposed in 2009, and it was funded by KU Student Safety funds and Community Development Block Grand funds from the city. As part of the project, some parts of the sidewalk along 12th Street were repaired and renewed, and new traffic signals were installed at the intersection of 12th and Kentucky Streets and 12th and Tennessee Streets. The lights are LED motion-activated that are dim until they detect movement. The naming ceremony will start at the western part of South Park and after that, the group in attendance will walk up 12th Street to Kentucky Street and perform the ribbon cutting ceremony. Laura Sather The Oread Neighborhood Path was completed in early February, and it runs along 12th Street from South Park to campus.

ASSOCIATED PRESS ... Pope Benedict XVI waves from his popmobile as he arrives in Revolution Square to celebrate a Mass in Havana, Cuba, Wednesday March 28. Benedict's homily was a not-so-subtle biblical jab at Cuba's government before a vast crowd of Cubans in Revolution Plaza, with the country's leadership listening from front-row seats. While the 600,000-capacity plaza was full, many Cubans said they were told to come and some left after registering their presence with their teachers or employers. In his remarks to the multitude, Benedict issued his strongest denunciation of religious intolerance yet in Cuba, referring to the Biblical account of how people persecuted by the Babylonian king "preferred to face death by fire rather than betray their conscience and their faith." He said people find freedom when they seek the truth that Christianity offers. "On the other hand there are those who wrongly interpret this search for the truth, leading them to irrationality and fanaticism; they close themselves up in 'their truth' and try to impose it on others," he said from the altar in the shadow of Cuba's revolution hero Ernesto "Che" Guevara. "It must be said with joy that in Cuba steps have been taken to enable the church to carry out her essential mission Benedict didn't cite the government by name, but later he urged Cuban authorities to let the church more freely preach its message and educate its young in the faith in schools and universities. of expressing her faith openly and publicly," he said. "Notetheless this must continue forward" for the good of Cuban society. The remarks came before Benedict's eagerly anticipated meeting with Fidel Castro, confirmed last night by the revolutionary leader himself. EUROPE Satellite launch turns controversial SEOUL, South Korea North Korea says it aims to estimate crop production and analyze natural resources when it launches a satellite on a long-range rocket next month. The United States and South Korea view the launch as a cover for testing long-range missile technology.

MIDDLE EAST Contact between US and Kabul on hold due to conversations being impractica KABUL, Afghanistan — A major Afghan militant group is following in the Taliban's footsteps by suspending talks with the United States and the Kabul government, another setback to efforts toward a peaceful resolution to the decade-long war. The insurgent faction Hezb-i-Islami was abandoning talks because they had produced nothing "practical," said the group's European representative, Qaribur Rahman Saeed. Earlier this month, the Taliban announced it was breaking off dialogue with the U.S. Part of the U.S.-led coalition's exit strategy is to gradually transfer security responsibility to Afghan forces. Another tack is to pull the Taliban and other militant factions into political discussions with the Afghan government. Hizb-i-Islami is a radical Islamist militia that controls territory in Afghanistan's northeast and launches attacks against U.S. forces from Pakistan. Its leader, powerful warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, is a former Afghan prime minister and one-time U.S. ally who is now listed as a terrorist by Washington. The U.S. and Afghan governments know that in addition to getting the blessing of Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar, any peace deal would have to be supported by Hekmatyar, who has thousands of fighters and followers primarily in the north and east. Mullah Omar is a bitter rival of Hekmatyar even though both are fighting international troops. CENTRAL AMERICA [Picture of a group of military officers] ASSOCIATED PRESS Mali's streets flood with coup members after the democratic leader was ousted. The coup rewrote the constitution in hopes for normalcy in the country. Mali coup hopes for a fresh start after leaders rewrite constitution BAMAKO, Mali — Several thousand people took to the streets of Mali's capital Wednesday in support of last week's military takeover and a new constitution hastily written by the coup leaders. A bloc of West African nations suspended Mali's membership and is sending five presidents to Mali to try to "restore constitutional order" a week after soldiers ousted the democratically elected leader of this vast and impoverished country. The Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, is also putting a peacekeeping force on standby but the junta leaders are working hard to give the semblance of normalcy here, and thousands are hoping the junta will stay. "It's the first time I'm really proud of Mali and of Africa," said Niamoye Toure, a young doctor. "Honestly I'd given up on Mali. It's only now with the military that I've regained some hope." Toure said the marchers wanted ECOWAS to recognize the new leadership. "Capt. Sanogo isn't here to hold onto power, but just to bring some order to the country," she said, referring to coup leader Capt. Amadou Sanogo. The new constitution was read on state TV late Tuesday night. The 69-article constitution includes many of the guarantees of the former law, including the guarantees of free speech, liberty of movement and freedom of thought. New measures include the creation of a military-led council headed by Sanogo. It says that the new head of state is simultaneously the head of the army, the head of the government and the head of the judiciary. The middle and final sections set out the role of the military committee now controlling the country, which calls itself the National Committee for the Reestablishment of Democracy and the Restoration of the State.

Sure, there are plenty of wacky, offbeat shows. MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE A guy eating bizarre food. And pastry chefs trying to create the ideal cupcake. Two guys eating fiery food 2012 Concepts Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc. PAGE 4A Despite its popularity, Americans down more than 20 gallons per person each year, beer has yet to break through as a star of its own series, instead being cast in a supporting role or being featured only in specials. That's bound to change at some point, TV producers and beer industry experts believe, because of the country's growing love affair with craft beer But Gold, a longtime television producer, and many others want to see a regular program starring arguably the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world: beer. "America's greatest export as an industry is pop culture, and craft beer is starting to move into the popular culture," said Gold, an Akron-area resident. His New York City-based production company Gold Teleproductions is developing a half-hour travel and educational program devoted to beer. He plans to pitch the show, called "Wash It Down," to cable networks. (Gold also runs the website Your Beer Network, http://yourbeernetwork.com/). Scott Martin Brooks, best known for the Budweiser "Whassup?" commercials, signed on to serve as the host. In addition to focusing on beer and food, the show will explore the history and stories behind breweries. Gold selected Church Brew Works, a brewery set inside a gorgeous former Catholic church in Pittsburgh, to feature in the condensed pitch episode. He envisions each episode highlighting two breweries. "When I see good programming, I start salivating," Gold said about what he's trying to accomplish with the show. "And I start getting hungry. And I start getting thirsty. We refer to it as food porn and beer porn." So why isn't there a program focusing on beer now? "That's one question I've been trying to figure out for five years," said Julia Herz, craft beer coordinator for the Brewers Association in Boulder, Colo. "I'm excited to know that answer." There are plenty of potential reasons, including a possible reluctance by networks and advertisers to be viewed as promoting irresponsible drinking. Then there's the question of whether there's even enough interest to warrant a show that would focus on small craft breweries. Craft beer has seen phenomenal growth in sales and interest over the last few years, but it remains a tiny sliver, 5.68 percent, of the overall beer market. The vast majority of U.S. beer drinkers are still sipping national brands such as Budweiser, Miller and Coors. Would those folks watch? Perhaps not. TELEVISION First episode of show won't solve mystery LOS ANGELES — After last year's season finale of "The Killing" generated howls of indignation, the show's blindside creative team began worriedly plotting to win back their audience. What if the show's central mystery was answered something implicitly promised in its first season promotional campaign "Who killed Rosie Larsen?" in the opening episode of the new season, which begins April 1? After lengthy discussions, executives at AMC and the show's production company, Fox Television Studios, ultimately decided against the highly unusual step, according to a person familiar with those talks who was not authorized to speak about them publicly. Instead they sided with writer and executive producer Veena Sud, who believed that they should stick to the original plan reveal the teenager's killer at the end of the 13-episode second season. "If you did it right away," said Fox Television Studios chief David Maden. "There wouldn't really be much left to save afterward." That the narrative option, and others like it, were even considered reveal the stakes for "The Killing," which launches into its new season under one of the heaviest clouds in the history of serial television. The show now debuts to a chorus of viewers who claim they will stick to their year-old vow to never watch again. AMC executives acknowledge that they have their work cut out for them. "We would never take lightly the core viewers who felt misled," said Joel Stillman, AMC's head of original programming. "It would be foolish to say the response to Season 1 doesn't up the ante for Season 2." Adapted from a Danish television series, "The Killing" follows an investigation by Stephen Holder and Sarah Linden (Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos). Seattle homicide detectives investigate the murder of the teenage girl. The season initially earned significant critical buzz that led to six Emmy nominations. Stillerman said the decision to stay the course wasn't easy. (Sud declined to comment for this article.) "We listened to and responded to (the backlash), but we opted not to change the essence of the storytelling, because we fundamentally believed in it," he said. (The plan was always to reveal Larsen's killer at the end of Season 2, as the Danish original does.) But while there will be small seeds of that mystery planted throughout this season, producers of "The Killing" are being extra careful about creating too much suspense on a non-Larsen case. McClatchy Tribune Big Time Rush ready to be next popular boy band MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of glow sticks luminesced over the sold-out crowd at Gibson Amphitheatre on a recent Friday night. Prepubescent girls snapped cellphone pictures and out- The scene onstage is familiar: five seemingly interchangeable young guys linked by one band screamed one another as younger kids were hoisted onto parents' shoulders for better views. The cheers morphed into hysteria as Big Time Rush emerged. Big Time Rush is at the crest of a new boy band wave, yet the L.A.-made group heartkens to an era when Backstreet Boys, 'NSync and name and an ability to dance with military precision, deliver harmonies and exude boy-next-door charm. 98 Degrees ruled the charts. Judging from recent sold-out shows for other young groups such as multicultural British heartthrobs the Wanted and R&B two sensations Mindless Behavior, as well as the buzz surrounding reality show magnate Simon Cowell's creation One Direction, the reemergence of the boy band has only just begun. In what seems to be as predictably cyclical as the stock market, bubble gum bands are back and trying to fill a void left by the maturation of Justin Bieber. 20 KANSAS 12 BASEBALL Kansas vs. Texas Tech 3/30 @ 6PM, 3/31 @ 2PM 4/1 @ 1PM FREE ADMISSION WITH VALID KU ID.

'Do unto others' should apply to all One reporter believes students should treat each other fairly As a moralistic person (at least in my humble opinion), it makes me sad to see fellow students attacking one another on various levels. I'll admit I'm just as guilty as the next guy, but it's something I've been working on. Whether we're Greek or independent, male or female, engineer or liberal arts, or any of the other dichotomies that have presented themselves through the Free For All, we should all treat one another with respect. There are Christians, Atheists, Mormons, Agnostics, Muslims, and every other religious group here on campus. There are the fraternity brothers, and the ever popular independents. There are residents of Oliver Hall, and Daisy Hill. We are all Jayhawks. We are all students at this great university, but above all that, we are all people. COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! FRASER HALL BEWARE OF THE FOC We all have emotions, feelings, and issues that upset us. I've realized through a relationship that I have with one of my close friends that even if we're making fun of someone in a joking manner, it can still be offensive or upsetting. Even something as small as making fun of what sports team a person supports can build up walls that can create an overwhelming distance in a relationship. I'll refrain from too much Christian commentary here, even though I've been overcome with strong Christian beliefs lately. One point I will mention, however, is the most important lesson one can take from the Bible, whether you believe or not, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." These pointless attacks on our fellow citizens of planet Earth, whether in a joking sense or not, need to stop. I'm not saying you can't poke fun and mess around with one another, but messing around should be left to those who you know on a personal level, and even then should be limited to a point where the person is not uncomfortable. We're all different. We all have different levels of how much joking around we can take. Whether in the FFA, chalking on Wescoe, or any other form of personal attack, even if you don't love each other, you owe it to your fellow humans at least have a common courtesy of respect. The most apparent example of this I can provide is the constant battle between Greek life and Independent life represented through the FFA. You've got the Greeks telling the Independent's that they're jealous of the friends and fun the Greek's have, and then you've got the Independents making fun of the pastel colored shorts, the polos, and the so called "frat packs" on campus. While I personally am independent, and oppose a lot of the fundamental flaws in Greek life, I have been working on my personal prejudices lately. Did we not all learn the golden rule in elementary school? "Do unto others as you'd have done to you." How many of us as children had these prejudices built up in our lives that weren't formed through society? Society corrupts the mind, and tells us we must hate people who are different than us, whether it is in a religious sense, or a personal sense. In reality, we must all get back to the childhood innocence and blind love we shared for one another, before we conformed to the ways of society. I'm a Jayhawk. I'm a student at the University of Kansas. I'm a person. And from here on out, I pledge to do my best to overcome personal biases that have existed in my life. I pledge to do all in my power to respect, love, and care for my fellow beings. I pledge to become an overall better person. Will you join me, or be left out in the cold and bitter world full of hate. The door is open, will you take that first step? — Ryan Schlesener is a sophomore majoring in journalism and Italian from Herington. EDUCATION Student bridges language gap with Italian teacher Reporter gains acceptance while studying abroad The professor of my Comparative 1 my Comparative Literature course at the University of Bologna in Italy walks in with a fur coat and two giant grocery bags every day. On the first day I watched her fling the bags across the table as the room echoed with the emptiness of only eight students. We were all wondering what in the world made us decide to take this course. No one sat in the first three rows. Her hands whirled around as she explained the course objectives; they looked a little more like war missiles than hands. So much for debunking the myth of the infamous fly-off the-handle Italian temper. This lady was ready to explode at the first person that sneezed. With only a handful of more experienced Italian students in the class, I couldn't bring myself to admit the first day that I was the only foreigner. I nodded and smiled along with her questions and when she made direct eye contact I quickly shot my gaze downward to the intricate tic-tac-toe pattern I was drawing in my notebook. By Bernadette Myers bmyers@kansan.com "I've heard horror stories of professors who fail foreign students because they forget to use the formal 'you' form." I'll manage the course load. Sometimes they give me an adapted syllabus or request that I visit their office to go over the lessons. As a freshman at KU, office hours were drilled into my brain as a key tool to success. But, in a different language, in a different country, where your teacher has that hot Italian temper that might lead to chucking books at your head, I was nervous. With only two weeks left in the course, I still hadn't told her that I was American. I've heard horror stories of I was told at the beginning of my study abroad experience that I should go talk to professors about being a foreign student and how professors who fail foreign students because they forget to use the formal "you" form. Someone once said they got kicked out of class for yawning. I wasn't about to go admit to my spastic Comparative Literature teacher that my eager nods were just masking the fact that I couldn't understand half of what she was saving When I finally made it to her office hours, she was thirty minutes late. She ushered me in and tossed the grocery bags under her desk, leaving the fur coat on for effect. Of course, I was drawing a blank on the Italian word for foreigner. "I'm American!" I blurted out, expecting to be picked to death by her harpy-like finger nails. But she lit up, and not with the angry red I was expecting. I almost threw up for sheer happiness. Never had I felt more excited to hear those simple words. Apparently, this Italian Cruella de Vil has a passion, not for killing puppies, but for the English language. She teaches an entire course on 19th century British literature. I was politely informed that, if I wanted to, I could read the texts for the course in English and she would give me twenty minutes to compose and write down my thoughts before my oral exam. "I speak English", she responded with a thick accent and surprising enthusiasm. This was best deal I'd gotten from any professor yet. After those office hours, I have still been rather confused in class and she continues to dart her missile-like hands into some kind of explanation, but I am no longer afraid that she will pull a staple gun from her grocery bags. Now I just feel bad for the Italian students that don't know any English who still sit terrorized in the corner. Myers is a junior in European studies and Italian. BOOKS 'The Hunger Games similar to 'The Lottery' As I read this book, I realized how similar the reaping in The Hunger Games was to Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" (1948). This nine page story focuses on a rural town of about 300 people that participate in a "lottery" once a year on June 27. The villagers gather rocks in the morning of this day as a ritual. What you don't realize is the rocks are used to stone a villager to death. The villager is a sacrifice to ensure a good harvest for the town. This unfortunate villager is chosen at the lottery if he or she chooses the slip with a black dot. Like some of you, the "The Hunger Games" won over a part of my Spring Break. I immediately felt attached to the characters with no intention of putting the book down until I finished it. This dystopian trilogy has been wildly popular among young adults. The first two books made it to New York Times best seller and the last one made it to US Today best seller. The audience's response to this story was the exact opposite than that of The Hunger Games. People even cancelled their subscriptions to the New Yorker where the story was originally published. Shirley Jackson received hate mail. The story was even banned in the Union of South Africa. However, sixty years later, the audience swoons over The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games include starvation, cannibalism, decapitation, thousands of deaths, barbaric causes of death with spears and tridents, vengeance by government, etc. If anything, these elements make The Hunger Games exciting, appealing, shocking, and addicting. Why were there vastly different reactions to similar themed stories? For one, "The Lottery" was published directly after World War II. "The Lottery" explores themes like cruelty by civilized people and the importance of tradition. World War II brought upon the worst cruelty This commentary shows how desensitized we are to violence in both fiction and real life portrayed by media. We are the generation of social media. Seeing a grusome death on CSI or reading the details of an actual homicide on the internet is the norm. Most of us are desensitized by the time we are in high school. Despite their similar themes, The Hunger Games strays from "The Lottery". This book is about connecting with characters that love their families, who are looking for justice and individuality, who make friendships during a blood-lust game, and who long for security. These books show that it takes one person to cause a revolution. The message being: you matter. The intricate novel shows how violence is not the central theme, but the extra element to build suspense and entertainment that we enjoy. Different generations produce different types of appeals that fit with that audience's needs. Saha is a senior in neurobiology from Overland Park. For our generation, the audience and time is much different. The shocking premise is the compelling angle in The Hunger Games. When Katniss volunteers as tribute (a sacrifice), one is mystified. As more tributes die, the more one wants to find out what happens next. by people that seemed civilized, like the Germans against the Jews and the Japanese against the Chinese. America wanted stability after the war and this short story disrupted that. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to kansanopdesk@gmail.com.

PAGE 6A THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN CRIME Police officer successfully goes undercover EXETER POLICE EXETER DEPART ASSOCIATED PRESS EXETER, Calif. — On his second trip through high school, former C-student Alex Salinas got a lot of As. AP PHOTO/TRACIE CONE In this photo taken March 23, rookie police officer Alex Salinas, 22, poses at the police station in Exeter, Calif. On his second trip through high school, former C-student Alex Salinas got a lot of A's. He was 22, however, and an undercover narcotics officer going by the name Johnny Ramirez. He was 22, however, and an undercover narcotics officer going by the name Johnny Ramirez. When his first semester progress report showed a 3.25 average, the babyfaced police rookie made a mental note: Stop turning in homework assignments. Eight months later, the ruse was up, and Exeter, a bucolic citrusgrowing community in California's Central Valley, was turned on its ear after a school-day police sweep ended with a dozen Exeter High students in custody on drug charges. Some people wondered how the deception by Salinas could have gone on for so long in the small town of just 10,000 people. Others lamented that the problems of the big city had come to the quaint community of antique shops and historic murals set amid a stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. "It's amazing we were able to keep a secret in this little town for that long," said Police Chief Cliff Bush, who had been searching for years for just the right officer to pull off the undercover ploy. "People in little towns tend to know everything about everybody." Leading the campus sweep this month was the tall, lanky Salinas, dressed in the crisp black uniform and combat boots of the Exeter Police Department instead of the T-shirts and sneakers he had worn as Johnny Ramirez. Still, there was no mistaking the boyish face and the wide smile gleaming with braces. "A lot of jaws dropped when they saw me," Salinas said. "They knew me as that kid at school that they hung around with, and then the next thing they're in handcuffs and I'm in a uniform." The sting got more attention from the media than a drug bust of 12 students normally would because of something the chief now laments: It happened the same week as the debut of the Hollywood comedy "21 Jump Street," which features — you got it — undercover cops fighting crime at a high school. Chief Bush insisted it was not a case of life imitating art. "A day or two later I became aware of the movie," Bush said. "The last thing I would do is check movie premieres. This just happened to coincide with the movie's release." There had been no major complaints about drug dealing at the 1,000-student school that sits within sight of the police station, but Bush said he had been thinking for years about doing an undercover sting to send a message. One day last summer, he ran into Salinas, who was weeks away from graduating from the police academy. Salinas had ridden along with Bush years earlier when the chief was still a patrolman. Bush eventually approached Salinas with the plan. With it came a full-time job on the city's 17-member Police Department — an offer Salinas wouldn't refuse. As Johnny Ramirez, Salinas attended Monarch football games and pep rallies. He purposely landed himself in detention so he could meet people outside of the four classes he attended before reporting each afternoon to the county drug task force headquarters for briefings and homework assignments. He made a Facebook page and forged friendships, which made the deception hard for him to bear. "There were a few students I got to know who are good kids, and I did feel kind of bad for being their friend and then being something different," he said. Only the principal, vice principal and Johnny's guidance counselor knew about the operation, school Superintendent Renee Whitson said. "Even I didn't know the name hed go by" she said. Still, a moment of panic erupted on the first day of school last fall when a teacher pointed to the new kid and joked, "We've got a new narc on campus. They tell me he's wearing a green shirt." Johnny Ramirez's shirt was green. Eventually students sold the new kid marijuana and cocaine, the prescription painkill hydrocodone and the muscle relaxant Soma. "There was certainly no celebration on the day of conclusion. It was a very sad day," Whitson said. "These are our students. We hope this is the necessary wakeup call to make this positive for their lives." As the school year winds down, the arrested students are in the midst of review board hearings. Only three are older than 18, and one student's parents were also arrested for investigation of methamphetamine possession. In the end, large quantities of drugs were not confiscated and none of the arrests involved trafficking significant quantities, though many purchases were for amounts that exceeded "personal use." Salinas said. Was it worth keeping an officer off Exeter's streets and on a school campus for eight months? Yes, Chief Bush said. But he is almost embarrassed that the undercover operation has garnered so much publicity, mostly because of his own bad timing regarding the release of "21 Jump Street."

"Turns out they were just tiny amounts, but if you've got just one kid dealing drugs at school, that's too many." The chief hopes the arrests have a lasting impact on all students, though he does realize he might have created a problem of another kind in Exeter. "I'd hate to be the new kid at school next year," he said. "They won't make very many friends." Take a break from classes and plant a tree. Campus Tree Board hosts plant a tree day Today from 11 to 1, students and staff are planting redbud trees and irises in the grassy area between Mississippi St. and Jayhawk Blvd., west of Lippincott Hall. ENVIRONMENT The tree planting is the first project from the newly formed Campus Tree Advisory Board, which is composed of students from the Environmental Law Society and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity as well as facilities and operations staff and the Center for Sustainability. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little will speak at the beginning of the event, which is open to everyone. Isabel Segarra, a second year law student from Austin, Texas, and an officer in the Environmental Law Society, said that the tree-planting offers students an opportunity to beautify campus while coming together as a community to help the environment. Planting a tree today also has historical significance. On March 29, 1878, students and faculty planted hundreds of plants and trees as part of the first Arbor Day celebration at the University, according to the KU History website. — Kelsey Cipolla LIBERTY HALL accessibility info (789) 749-1972 644 Mass. 745-1912 ASEPARATION 6:50 ONLY PG-13 127MINS THE ARTIST 4:30 ONLY 100MINS A DANGEROUS METHOD R 9:30 ONLY 95MINS FREE STATE BEER ON SPECIAL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2012 POLITICS PAGE 7A Former Bush adviser speaks on 9/11. globalization VIRAJ AMIN vamin@kansan.com Current professor of law at the University of California at Berkley and former head of the Office of Legal Counsel John Yoo was on hand to speak at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday night. Yoo, who is also a former adviser to President Bush, spoke on various issues ranging from the War on Terror to globalization. The program was co-sponsored by the KU School of Law, and Constitutional Law Professor Stephen McAllister was instrumental in bringing Yoo to the University of Kansas. McAllister conducted an interview with Yoo that lasted roughly 40 minutes. Yoo and McAllister have known each other for several years, and McAllister thought the Lawrence community could benefit from hearing someone who has been a part of controversial decisions explain what he was involved in. "John Yoo has been in the media a lot, and one thing that I hope for is that people appreciate the humanity of the people who are involved in sometimes controversial decisions," McAllister said. "We want people to listen to what he was involved in as a lawyer, very difficult circumstances. challenging issues and get a sense of the person rather than just reading newspaper stories or listen to talking heads characterizing who this person is and what he is doing" Yoo spoke about being in Washington D.C. during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the decisions that followed the attacks. Yoo explained the difficulties of going to war with an enemy that wasn't a state or had territorial boundaries. Yoo spoke briefly about prisoners of war and their status under the Geneva Convention before switching topics to globalization. While McAllister said the assumption was he would talk about his role in the Justice Department, but this gave Yoo an opportunity to talk about his new book on globalization. "I knew people would want to hear him speak about the events on 9-11, but he is not a one dimensional guy he can talk about a lot of different topics," McAllister said. After speaking for 40 minutes, the night ended with a brief question and answer session with Yoo. ROBERT J.

IFSSICA IANASZ/KANSAN FOOD Plants close amid 'pink slime' fallout MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES - When it comes to percentage of income spent on groceries, Americans enjoy the cheapest food supply in the world. But as activist groups continue to pull back the curtain on the techniques that make this cheap food possible. Americans are raising their eyebrows and voicing their concerns to surprisingly powerful effect. This week, Beef Products International announced the temporary shutdown of three of its four plants that produce an inexpensive, chemically treated recovered beef product the government calls "lean finely textured beef" but opponents have dubbed "pink slime." While contamination problems had been associated with the product as late as 2009 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture was exempting it from routine safety tests industry experts say new government and company testing protocols have made it a safe and incredibly efficient product for the food industry, which commonly adds it to ground beef. "It was incredible," said Brianna Cayo Cotter, communications director of Change.org, a website that hosted a petition by Texas mom Bettina Siegel that urged the USDA to stop buying ammonia-treated beef for school lunches. "In 10 days she made the USDA, the meat industry and major retailers all back away from it. Now the demand for pink slime has dropped so dramatically that some of the factories are starting to shut down." Not everyone views such popular urisprints as a positive development. "Something is seriously out of kiler in our communications environment when safe food products and proven technologies can be torpedoed by sensationalist, misleading, yet entertaining social media campaigns," said David B. Schmidt, president and CEO of the International Food Information Council. "We should all take several steps back and remember the critical thinking skills we were taught in school." A spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, which runs the school lunch program, said that lean finely textured beef is still beef, even though it is separated from fat through heat and centrifuge and then treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill bacteria. The term "pink slime" came from a 2002 internal email between two USDA scientists who were concerned about its safety at the time and lack of labeling. The emails surfaced when The New York Times, reporting on the safety of ground beef in 2009, obtained them through a Freedom of Information request. The topic remained dormant until April 2011, when celebrity chef Jamie Oliver made "pink slime" a topic on his "Food Revolution" television show. It appeared again in January when McDonald's acknowledged that it had removed the product from its American outlets, and spiked again early this month when Siegel launched her petition.

In 1803, William Kavanell and his best friend of Minneapolis Busthawkers, William Orr, built a building with 250 ornate rooms, and much of the interior was painted. Breaking the tower spain, 36 years later, a clean living, hallowing stone-making, James Newmarch arrived in All Sizes On The Pitch, Pitch Over the next two years, Keith stuck with the idea and wrote many versions of a script. Between the two Kansas-Missouri basketball games this year, he approached Mohr whose company, Ocular Blast, helped shoot and edit the video. Mohr said they made the movie in two weeks. REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com "We just wanted something for people to watch online for March Madness and the Final Four." Keith said. James Naismith and Phog Allen kill William Quantrill and his fellow Missourians. He wants to eventually make it into a longer movie. Historically, the main characters in "The Last Jayhawker" had an impact on Kansas and the city of Lawrence. William Quantrill and his bushwhackers killed 183 Lawrence men and set fire to the town in 1863. James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891. Seven years later, he started a basketball program at Kansas. Forest "Phog" Allen played on the KU basketball team in 1904. Of course, this is historically incorrect, but three former Kansas students, Chris Dorsey, Jon Mohr and W. David Keith, used this scene in a YouTube video, "The Last Jayhawker," to bring the Kansas-Missouri rivalry to the internet. "We were hanging out one night, a couple years ago, and watching the KU-MU basketball game," Dorsey said. "We thought it would be cool to do an 'Inglorious Bastards' version of the KU-MU rivalry." The newly viral video portrays Quantrill as the basketball coach for the University of Missouri and the bushwhackers as his players. The Tigers team up against Naismith and his team. Missouri wins the first game of basketball. Kansas plays poorly at their own game until Naismith recruits Phog Allen, who makes Kansas into a champion team. Later, Naismith becomes Tiger-blood-thirsty. His Jayhawks become assassins. They raid the Missouri Tigers and Naismith shoots Quantrill and victoriously says, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk." Quantrill's last words are, "What does that even mean?" In the next scene, Naismith holds Quantrill's severed head above him. He and his team cheer in triumph and Naismith shoots the head into a peach basket, which is nailed to a tree. Naismith, he enjoyed killing Missourians during the filming. A cartoon type of violence was used in the video. Mike Weatherford, who acted as James "It's purpose is to entertain and get laughs from people, even from Missouri fans, which from some of the comments on YouTube, I don't think that will happen," Mohr said. "The Last Jayhawker" has received more than 6,700 hits on YouTube and is rated 100 percent on the Funny or Die website, which is a high rating. "James Naismith was crazy, but it was cool to watch a parody of the border showdown," Blake Dennisiston, a freshman from Walnut Creek, Calif., said. He enjoyed the ending the most because the characters tossed around Kansas basketball slogans, such as "Beware of the Phog."

"I don't know that you should rate," Self said of his coaching. "We've done good, but to me a lot of times the challenges are coaching guys when you have to manage egos, roles, chemistry and getting all the guys to buy in. I'll say this; this has been one of the easier coaching jobs that we've had because it's been easy to get guys to buy in and be exactly what we want them to be." When he became the Kansas basketball coach in 2003, Bill Self knew that if he tried to compare himself to Roy Williams when he coached at Kansas, then he wouldn't be the right man for the job. For those who complained about the Jayhawks' recent recruiting classes, please don't go criticize Self because he clearly knows how to assemble a roster. If Shabazz Muhammad decides not to join Kansas next season, so be it. Kansas might be better off next season because highly touted recruits like him tend to possess overinflated egos that destroy team chemistry. By C.J. Matson cjmatson@kansan.com For him to accomplish that and lead this season's Jayhawks to the Final Four leads me to three conclusions: This is Self's best coaching job yet, this is one of the best coached Kansas basketball teams, and Self is in the top two all-time among Kansas basketball coaches. The other coach is Phog Allen. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar Self called his dad, and told him he wasn't sure if he was the right man for the job because Williams was beloved in Kansas and won 81 percent of his games there. Eight coaches have coached basketball at the University. As of now, Self holds the highest winning percentage for a Kansas basketball coach at .838. As of now, the number of Big 12 regular season championships that Self has won at Kansas is greater than the number of losses he has suffered at Allen Fieldhouse. Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor are star players, but they didn't become star players because of self-entitlement. They became star players because of their development, which is a testament to Self. Starters on this season's team that were role players last season — Jeff Withey, Thomas Robinson, Travis Releford, Elijah Johnson — have blossomed faster than a Kansas sunflower because of Self. "He's not going to accept anything less than great from his players," Robinson said of Self. "That method of his definitely helps us out in the long run." All of the players have bought into Self's coaching. If you aren't willing to earn your keep, check your ego at the door and work hard, then you won't last long. "He's the man." Taylor said of Self. "He's been a great mentor to me. He's one of the guys that he gets on you when you do something wrong, but he's easy to talk to and he explains to you why he got on you. He wants you to understand. He's a great teacher." KANSAS 10 STEP BY STEP CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN THREE KEYS TO WIN Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor dunks to put the Jayhawks up by two points with only three seconds remaining on the clock against the Purdue Boilermakers. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com They've played before. They know each others strength, weaknesses, tendencies and more. And while Kansas and Ohio State have had scouting reports on each other since December, it doesn't take away from the mass amount of strategy both coaches need to have to win on Saturday. Kansas won 78-67 the first time in Allen Fieldhouse, and here are the three keys to victory for Kansas against Ohio State in New Orleans: 1. TYSHAWN TAYLOR How ironic. After four controversial years, after all the talented players that have fallen short, it's Taylor who led the Jayhawks to the Final Four. Taylor's had off-court issues, as well as some issues on the court during his four years of starting at Kansas, but those issues have gone missing since conference play began, as Taylor has been an elite guard since January. On Saturday, Taylor will be going up against an elite defender in Aaron Craft. The first time the two squared off, Taylor had nine points, 13 assists and seven turnovers. While Taylor was just returning from a knee injury the first time, his play has to be more consistent in the second matchup. Kansas relies on Taylor as much as any team in the country counts on a single player. While Taylor does not need to have an extraordinary game scoring, he needs to take care of the ball and keep Ohio State from getting easy baskets for Kansas to win. 2. PLAY LOOSE While it may sound simple, playing relaxed on college basketball's biggest stage is no easy task. The Jayhawks were able to handle the added pressure of North Carolina, but it hasn't been that way all season, as Kansas played widely in big games early on. If Bill Self can get Kansas to relax and — as Self likes to say — have fun, the team will be at its best. It's worked in tight situations so far, as players have been smiling throughout its NCAA Tournament games, but that can all change in the Superdome. If Kansas plays loose, the three point shot will fall. That's Ohio State's worst nightmare. When Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson or Conner Teahain hit three, Kansas is nearly impossible to stop, and if you add in Kansas' tough defense, the Jayhawks become tough to beat. It's cost the Jayhawks before this season, as a foul trouble has been a major concern for this team since 3. AVOID FOUL TROUBLE the season started. While Kevin Young has improved throughout the season, forward Justin Wesley and guard Naadir Tharpe remain question marks. Conner Teahan has also shot 20 percent from the three-point line during the tournament, making five of 20 three-shoot shots. not be able to slow them down. The bench has played well during the tournament, but that could change any game for Kansas. It's Kansas' best bet to avoid foul trouble, and keep its starters on the floor for as long as possible. Kansas' starting five can handle the Buckeyes, but their bench may Edited by Amanda Gage Assistant coach Danny Manning, now in his ninth season coaching men's basketball at Kansas, has agreed in principle to take over the vacant head coaching position at the University of Tulsa, according to a report by ESPN's Neil Everett on Wednesday night. The report cited a source close to the Kansas program. Manning will follow Barry Hinson, current director of basketball operations and future coach at Southern Illinois, in parlaying the Jayhawks' recent success into a head coaching position. Manning, the hero of the 1988 national championship team, was a part-time coach until 2007 when he was promoted to full-time assistant. He is credited with molding the games of several Kansas big men, including junior forward Thomas Robinson and the Morris twins, who were both NBA lottery picks. During his playing career, Manning amassed 2,951 points and 1,187 rebounds from 1984-88, both all-time highs for the program. He averaged 14 points per game in his NBA career. He's also Kansas' all-time leading scorer and rebounder, with 2,951 points and 1,187 boards from 1984-88. He spent 15 seasons in the NBA, averaging 14 points per game. Manning will replace former Tulsa coach Doug Wojcik, who went 140-92 in his seven seasons with the Golden Hurricane but only 1-14 against Conference USA powerhouse Memphis. Interim athletic director Ross Parmley cited declining ticket sales and "growing apathy" toward the program when Wojcik was fired earlier this month. The last truly successful coach at Tulsa was Bill Self, now at the helm for Kansas, who led the Golden Hurricane to a 74-27 record from 1998-2000 and an Elite Eight appearance in 2000. - Matt Galloway SOCCER International play has helped develop leaders RYAN MCCARTHY KANSAS 21 rmccarthy@kansan.com Kansas midfielder Liana Salazar's playing experience on the world stage led to her to a new opportunity. This time in her fourth World Cup appearance Salazar took on a different role. She was a captain for the Under 20 Colombian national team in the CONMEBOL qualifiers in Curtiba, Brazil. Freshman midfielder Liane Salazar blocks her opponent from Texas from getting the ball Friday night at the Jahywah Soccer Complex. Salazar had one shot, and one goal. Both her and fellow freshman forward Ingrid Vidal competed at the Women's World Cup in Germany last summer playing against some of the greatest players in women's soccer. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN "It wasn't very different for me because I always try to do my best and help other people do their best," Salazar said. "I think the only difference for a captain is that they wear an arm band." The Colombian team finished short of returning to the championship against Brazil. The same team it faced in the 2010 CONMEBOL championship. Colombia placed third with a 4-3 overall record. Brazil went undefeated and will join Argentina in Japan later this fall for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Although Columbia's run did not work out the way Salazar intended, she still learned a lot about being a team leader both for her nation and for the Jayhawks. Salazar also said that she met many new players and helped players to this new step in their soccer career. "I have a different mentality than the younger players," Salazar said. "I had more experience. Although it was an important game I could be more relaxed. My teammates see me relax so they play more relaxed." Kansas coach Mark Francis also sees this experience as being an asset for Salazar to step up as leader. "We think Liana definitely has leadership potential for us," Francis said. "She plays by example anyways. She's very intense and competitive "It's just another opportunity for Liana to represent her country and KU, but also playing at that level, those experiences can bring them back to our team this year," Francis said. and always wants to win." At 19, Salazar continues to show a soccer IQ far beyond her years. She sees passes in the attacking part of the pitch that many other college level players don't always recognize. Francis also believes that this experience helped Liana continue her support as an ambassador for her country and the University. "Her mind works very fast, sometimes faster than some of the other players," Francis said. "I think that aspect might rub off on some of the other kids. Although Salazar has been globetrotting for much of year early career at Kansas, she still feels comfortable in Lawrence. "I feel like Lawrence is my home, I feel comfortable here," Salazar said. "Relationships with other players are better because I can speak the language better now" "They always worry about me ... they are like my sisters here," Salazar said that she's close to many players on the team, but especially Shelby Williams and Amy Grow. Both have helped her with the language barrier and adapt to her new surroundings. Salazar said. Due to eligibility complications Salazar will not be eligible for the spring season games, but will be eligible to play in the fall. She can still practice with the team. 1.

It's the size of the fight in the dog." — Mark Twain Mark Twain FACT OF THE DAY In the such round of last year's draft, the Padres selected Kyle Gaedel, Eddie Gaedel's grand nephew. --- utsandiego.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the tallest basketball player to play in college? A: Kenny George (7-feet-7), who played for North Carolina Asheville. AOL THE MORNING BREW Breaking down the shortest and tallest After Jeff Withey's block party this weekend, I started feeling a little sensitive about my height, all 5-foot-4 inches of me. So I decided I'd pick out the shortest and tallest across athletics to show that, tall or short, we can all contribute to our team's success. MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Shortest By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com Judie Gaedel — 3-foot-7 (65 pounds) Gaedel's first and only plate appearance came in 1951 in the second game of a doubleheader between the St. Louis Brown and the Detroit Tigers. While his appearance was more of a publicity stunt than a strategic move by the manager, Gaedel stepped up to the plate and took four pitches for balls, giving him an on-base percentage of 1.000 — talk about a small strike zone. Gaedel's number was 1/8. Tallest Jon Rauch — 6-foot-11 (290 pounds) Now with the New York Mets, relief pitcher Jon Rauch is the tallest player in MLB history. He began his career in 2002 with the Chicago White Sox, and he is quite an intimidating figure on the mound for opposing batters. NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Shortest Jack Shapiro — 5-foot $ \frac{1}{2} $ (119 pounds) Shapiro was a running back for New York University in 1927, and two years later played professional football for the Staten Island Stapletons. In his only professional game, Shapiro played as a blocking back in a 34-0 victory over the Minneapolis Red jackets. For a game as brutal as football, it's pretty impressive that he came out alive. richard Sligh — 7-foot-0 (300 pounds) Sligh was a defensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders, who, during his time there, played in eight games. He did not record a tackle, but was listed as a reserve for the team in Tallest NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION Shortest Superbowl II. Muggy Bogues — 5-foot-3 (136 pounds) Bogues was the 12th overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Washington Bullets. Coincidentally, in his first year, Bogues was teammates with one of the tallest NBA players, Manute Bol. Despite his size, he had 39 blocks in his career, 6,858 points, 6,726 assists and 1,369 steals, proving that, for him height was not an obstacle. He last played in 2001 with the Toronto Raptors and is currently the coach for a high school basketball team. Tallest Gheorghe Muresan — 7-foot-7 (315 pounds) While Manute Bol was also 7-foot-7, I gave the edge to Muresan because of his weight. Muresan was named the league's most improved player for the 1995-96 season, when he led the league in field goals made at 58.4 percent, and would top it at 60.4 percent the following season. In the previous year, he averaged 14.5 points per games, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks. Also worthy of mention, is China's Sun Mingming, who stands at 7-foot-9 and KU 370 pounds, but has vet to play in the NBA. PROFESSIONAL SOCCER Tallest Jafal Rashed Al-Kuwari — 5-foot-1 (145 pounds) Al-Kuwari is a former Qatari soccer player who is now a manager for the Al Sadd club team, the team he played for. Between 2000 and 2002, he made 14 appearances for Qatari national team and scored 14 goals. He retired in 2009. Kristop Van Hout — 6-foot-10 (233 pounds) Born in 1987, Hout is a Belgian goalkeeper and the tallest professional soccer player in the world. He currently plays for K.V. Kortrijk.

SOUTHERN UTAH STANFORD Ka'iana Eldredge had been in a season-long slump. He was hitting .185 going into the game (10-for-54). Against Southern Utah, Eldredge busted out of his slump in a big way, going 5-for-7 with two runs, four RBIs and a stolen base. He had the game-tying hit in the ninth inning to send the game into extra innings. Eldredge the won the game in the 11th inning with an RBI single to win the game 11-10. PITCHING BEST GAME: THOMAS TAYLOR, RED-SHIRT JUNIOR FIRST BASEMAN MARCH 18 VS. HOUSTON BAPTIST PARKS Riding a three-game losing streak, the Jayhawks needed a win in the Irish Baseball Classic in San Antonio, Texas. Taylor, Kansas' most experienced starting pitcher, delivered a gem. He earned the win allowing just one run over 7.2 innings. Houston Baptist managed seven hits off of Taylor. He also struck out four batters while walking none. Taylor NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: CLUTCH HITTING The Jayhawks' problem isn't getting guys on base, they have a team .350 on-base percentage, but the problem is driving them in. In the last nine games, Jayhawk hitters have left 77 runners on base, averaging 8.55 runners left on base per game. In their victory against Southern Utah, the Jayhawks left 14 runners on base. They'll need to get more clutch hitting in order to be successful this season. TRENDING UP: ROBERT KAHANA FRESHMAN STARTER/RELIEVER C C Kahana Kahana is perhaps the Jayhawks' most versatile pitcher. He starts when needed or he can give the team innings out of the bullpen. Over the last nine games, he appeared five times while throwing 13 innings. His worst game of that stretch came in the only game he started. He threw 4.1 innings, but was tagged with four runs. Taking that game away, he threw 8.2 innings in four relief appearances allowing no earned runs and he struck out six batters and walked only three. TRENDING UP: JAKE MARASCO RED-SHIRT JUNIOR FIRST BASEMAN CLEVELAND Marasco After getting off to a slow start this season, Marasco appears to be finding his swing. In the last nine games, he went 13-for-32 (.406) with four RBIs, three runs and three walks. His average is up to .316 on the season. That makes him at least 50 at-bats this season to have a batting average about .300. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: CONSISTENT STARTING PITCHING Kansas' starters seem to either have a really good game or a terrible game. In five of the last nine games, Jayhawk starters have given up at least five runs. This team has not show enough consistency on offense to be faced with early deficits. In the last nine games, starters have thrown 47 innings and allowed 34 earned runs over that span. That equals a 6.51 ERA in that stretch; they need to be better. ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com Softball SINCE THE START OF SPRING BREAK RECORD 3-5 (2-4) OUTSCORED BY 18 RUNS (31-13) OFFENSE BEST GAME: MAGGIE HULL, JUNIOR OUTFIELDER, MARCH 24 VS. OKLAHOMA STATE 10 Hull After hitting 398 in non-conference play, Hull struggled to find her groove when conference play started. In the four games prior to March 24, Hull went 1-for-12 without an extra-base hit. That slump ended when Hull homered to deep center against the Cowgirls, scoring the go-ahead runs and pushing the team towards its second consecutive conference victory at home. PITCHING ALICIA PILLE, FRESHMAN PITCHER, MARCH 23 VS. OKLAHOMA STATE YOU CAN DO IT. Pillle was lights out all afternoon for Kansas. She pitched eight scoreless innings, allowing just two hits, walking one and striking out 11. The Kansas offense did not provide any run support until the game went into extra innings. After Pillle struck out two in the top of the eighth, freshman infielder Chanin Naudin, Pillle's roommate, finally gave the pitcher what she needed: a walk-off homerun and her 10th victory. Pille Edited by Amanda Gage NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT SPOTS IN THE LINEUP It's been a struggle for the latter third of the lineup, specifically the six, seven, and eight spots in the lineup. In the last eight games, those three spots have gone a combined 8-for-62 (.129) with just two runs and two RBIs. Granted, three of those games were against a dominant Missouri pitching staff, but the Jayhawks need contributions from every spot in the lineup to compete in this league. TRENDING UP: MORGAN DRUHAN JUNIOR PITCHER P Druhan Despite a rough outing against Missouri State on Tuesday, Druhan has emerged as one of three arms in the Kansas rotation. Perhaps Durhan's best game came in the second matchup against Oklahoma State on March 24. She solid innings and kept Kansas in position to win the game. She has had her struggles, but the South Alabama transfer brings an added competitive presence in the circle that the pitching staff did not have last season. TRENDING UP: ASHLEY NEWMAN, SOPHOMORE INFIELDER Newman A Newman has been as consistent as any Jayhawk hitter at the plate. Her .380 batting average leads the team and her speed on the base paths — good for 18 steals on the year — gives Kansas a dynamic slapper at the top of the order. Coach Megan Smith has said several times; when Newman gets on base, Kansas scores. In the brutal Big 12 schedule, she will need to continue to set the table if Kansas intends to score runs. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: FIRST INNING JITTERS Kansas pitchers have allowed at least one first-inning run in six of the eight games since Spring Break began. After shaky first innings, pitchers have tended to settle into games as no team has scored a run in the second inning of those games. For a team that relies heavily on pitching and defense, Kansas needs to see more consistency in the first innings of ball games. Digging a hole, especially when it comes before the offense has a chance to hit, tends to put undue pressure on hitters.

At right is teammate Munenori Kawasaki. Seattle Mariners come out on top against Oakland A's in baseball's season opener MLB is using the series to assist rebuilding in Japan ASSOCIATED PRESS Ichiro Suzuki gave his fans in Japan a performance to cheer about. Suzuki had four hits in his return home, Dustin Ackley homered and singled in the goahead run in the 11th inning, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 Wednesday night in baseball's season opener. "It was very special to open in Japan," said Suzuki, who spent nine seasons in Osaka with the Orix Blue Wave. "I wanted to have fun and give the fans something at this special time and wanted to share a special moment with them." Major League Baseball and the players' association are using the series to assist rebuilding in Japan following last year's earthquake and tsunami. A group of "It was very special to open in Japan. I wanted to have fun and give the fans something at this special time." players and coaches traveled to the disaster zone on Tuesday to conduct a baseball clinic. A capacity crowd of 44,227 at Tokyo Dome was a sea of flashbulbs every time Suzuki came to bat. He got a standing ovation when he took his position in right field in the final inning. Felix Hernandez combined with two relievers on a six-hitter as MLB opened its season in Tokyo for the fourth time. The continent switch didn't help the As, who became the first team to lose eight straight openers since Philadelphia from 1985-92, according to STATS LLC. Seattle and Oakland complete their two-game series Thursday. The rest of the big league teams start to get going April 4, when the renamed Miami Marlins open their new ballpark against the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. Dropped from leadoff to third in the batting order as he started his 12th big league season, Suzuki singled in the first when he beat shortstop Cliff Pennington's throw after his grounder over the mound was deflected by Oakland starter Brandon McCarthy. Suzuki singled on a grounder to shortstop in the fourth, singled to center in the sixth and had an RBI single to center in the 11th. ICHIRO SUZUKI Seattle Mariners player "We're trying to stretch out the lineup and have the guys feed off each other," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "I think Ichiro hitting in the third spot is the right place. We're going to be a very offensive ballclub this year." The 38-year-old Suzuki set a big league record with 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons before falling short last year. "He's a hitting machine," said Oakland manager Bob Melvin, who managed Suzuki with the Mariners in 2003 and 2004. "It doesn't matter where he bats in the lineup. That's what he does — hit." Ackley homered in the fourth off McCarthy, and Oakland's Kurt Suzuki doubled in a run in the bottom half. The score remained 1-1 until the 11th, when Brendan Ryan doubled against Andrew Carignan (0-1), Chone Figgins sacrificed and Ackley singled to center. "I was able to put a good swing on that one." Ackley said. "Our team is off to a good start, and that's all that matters." Jerry Blevins relieved, Ackley stole second and Ichiro Suzuki singled for a two-run lead. Brandon League closed it out for the save. Tom Wilhelmsen (1-0) got the win with two hitless innings. Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes, who signed a $36 million, four-year contract with Oakland, was 1 for 3 with a seventh-inning double and two strikeouts in his major league debut. Hernandez, coming off a 14-14 season, allowed five hits in eight innings, struck out six and walked none, throwing 104 pitches. McCarthy gave up one run and six hits in seven innings with three strikeouts and no walks. While Oakland threatened repeatedly, the A's were 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position. "They got bigger hits than we did at the end," Melvin said. "We hit some balls hard, but they just didn't get in."

DEMI PAYNE Sophomore Universities at the Texas Relays This will be the first outdoor meet of the season for many of the Kansas athletes competing there. Despite ending the season just outside of the ranking needed to make national, Payne remained strong during the indoor season. For senior distance runner, Rebeka Stowe, the meet marks the beginning of her eighth and final season as a Jayhawk. In approaching her last season, Stowe hopes to develop more consistency at each meet. The meet this week is an opportunity to learn from an early race without it effecting whether she will make it to the later meets in the season, Stowe said. Junior Andrea Geubelle and sophomore Diamond Dixon will also compete in the Texas Relays. It will be the start of their campaigns to capture two titles on the year: Geubelle in the triple jump and Diamond Dixon in the 400-meter race. The women's team does not feel the pressure of being ranked in the top 10 in the USTFCCCA because they still feel overlooked, Stowe said. The team would feel validated with a national championship. - Edited by Bre Roach BASEBALL Blue Jays defeat the Orioles despite bad pitching calls ASSOCIATED PRESS The Toronto Blue Jays had their way with the Baltimore Orioles' pitching staff.

The race has been between the two for most of the season, as the other two finalists are listed as nothing more than a formality. Despite the fact that Robinson averages more points and rebounds per game than Davis, the public opinion has been that Davis is the forerunner for the award. Part of this is because Davis has led Kentucky to a 36-2 record while Kansas has notched only 31 wins on the season. Robinson's chances may have improved on Monday when Robinson was named a unanimous Associated Press's First Team All-American. He is the first player to do this since Oklahoma's Blake Griffin in 2009. But Davis was close behind, being named First Team on 63 of a possible 65 ballots. But Davis recently received some good news of his own when the Basketball Times announced Davis as its Player of the Year on Wednesday. Statistically, both players are very similar, with each of them averaging a double-double on the season, but Robinson once again has had more this season. He set a school record with 26 double-doubles on the season, while Davis has 19. Both players also stand 6 feet 10 inches tall. While Robinson has been the more prolific scorer, Davis has the advantage in blocks, with 4.6 per game. But Robinson had perhaps the biggest block of the Jayhawks season when he denied Missouri guard Phil Pressey and sent the game to overtime. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com Robinson also has the advantage of playing in a stronger conference. The Big 12 sent six of its ten teams to the NCAA tournament while the SEC sent just four of its 12 members to the big dance. And Robinson appeals more to the emotional side of the voters, with his improvement over last season where he came off the bench and more than doubled his minutes per game from 14.6 to 31.6. The voters heartstrings will also be tugged by the fact that he overcame the death of his grandfather, grandmother and mother in a matter of weeks the year before. But many basketball mock drafts such as nbadraft.net and ESPN. com have Davis as the number one overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft. The Naismith Award, given on April 1 at the Atlanta Tip-off Club along with the Wooden Award given on April 6, are the two premier player of the year awards. The two awards typically are given to the same player, the last time they differed in 1995 when the Wooden was awarded to Ed O'Bannon of UCLA while the Naismith was awarded to Joe Smith of Maryland. But no matter who wins the award, I'm sure the winner would prefer to be cutting down nets next Monday night in New Orleans than winning an individual award from a group of sportswriters. - Edited by Amanda Gage BASKETBALL Currie begins to look for a new coach 811 ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State University athletic director John Currie speaks to the media on Tuesday, March 27 in Manhattan. Currie denied that a rift with Frank Martin was the primary reason the popular basketball coach left for the same job at South Carolina. John Currie knows he faces the biggest task of his professional career in replacing Frank Martin, the now-former basketball coach of Kansas State whose bigger-than-life aura and on-court success made the Wildcats relevant again. ASSOCIATED PRESS It's a task the third-year athletic director plans to tackle quietly. "The opportunity that exists here is tremendous. We have the resources to enable our next coach to build a sustainable, winning basketball program," Currier said earlier this week. "We have everything a coach needs to win." Much of that is thanks to Martin, who stepped in after Bob Huggins hastily departed for West Virginia after just one season. Martin managed to hold together a highly touted recruiting class that included Michael Beasley, and eventually reeled off five consecutive 20-win seasons. "In terms of who is going to be The Wildcats finished 22-11 this season, falling to Syracuse in the third round of the NCAA tournament, before Martin left this week to take over the rebuilding job at South Carolina. The intensely guarded athletic director declined to discuss specific candidates, whether he has established his own wish list or even put a timetable on hiring the new coach. Instead, Currie said he was looking for a man of "integrity" — and that was about it. Currie said that he's not necessarily out to find the next Martin, who was a nondescript assistant coach before getting his shot to be the head coach at Kansas State. "Coach Martin is a recognizable person, and he's brought tremendous recognition to Kansas State," Currie said. "And what a personality and person and coach does is they open the door and the window of the world to the institution, and that's really one of the reasons you have this intercollegiate scene. It's one of the reasons you have athletics." considered, I don't have any predetermined parameters," Currie said. "This task will have my sole attention until it is completed." Currie may be silent about his wish list, but the rumor mill is already churning out names. "My policy has always been that I will only ever talk about the job I have and that is Illinois State," Jankovich told The Pantagraph of Bloomington, Ill. Among the potential front-runners for the job is Illinois State coach Tim Jankovich, who played for the Wildcats under Jack Hartman from 1979-82 and has strong ties to the state. He would also be familiar with rival Kansas, where he served as an assistant to Bill Self. Jankovic has gone 104-64 in five seasons with the Redbirds, taking his team to the Missouri Valley Conference championship game three times but failing to reach the NCAA tournament. His team lost to Creighton in overtime earlier this month. Another potential candidate is Colorado coach Tad Boyle, who was an assistant at Tennessee while Currie worked in the athletic department. Boyle has ties to Kansas through a previous job as an assistant at Wichita State, though he appears firmly ensconced as the coach of Colorado. Many fans have already offered their support for Oklahoma assistant Steve Henson, who grew up in McPherson, Kan, and starred for the Wildcats in the late 1980s. Henson has called Kansas State his "dream job," and although he has no experience as a head coach, he still has quite the pedigree. He bounced around the NBA before becoming an assistant coach under Lon Kruger at Illinois. He later worked for the Atlanta Hawks and South Florida before joining Kruger at UNLV, and ultimately followed him to the Sooners last year. Other names that have been mentioned include Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, Xavier coach Chris Mack and former Arkansas coach John Pelphrey, now an assistant at Florida. Associate head coach Brad Underwood could also be interviewed, even though Martin has invited his former staff to follow him to South Carolina. While he has no experience as a major college head coach, Underwood grew up in Kansas and played for the Wildcats in the mid-1980s. "I hope that he gets serious consideration for that job," Martin said. "I don't try to help people do their jobs — it's not what I do — but he's incredible. Brad is so ready to be a head coach it's not even funny." Ultimately, the decision will come down to Currie, even though he acknowledged that there is a group of people close to the program he plans to consult with during the search. Will he go with a high-profile splash such as Huggins? A relative unknown such as Martin? Only Currie seems to know, and he's keeping quiet for now. HONOR. INSPIRE. ENGAGE. WHAT WE STAND HONOR.

"He brought the most buzz to Columbus, Ohio, in a long time." All-America forward Jared Sullinger knows that even during March, most Ohio State fans would rather talk about TDs than 3s. Ohio State basketball proves it's not just a football school In the last few months, the city has been consumed by the hiring of Urban Meyer to resurrect a program that's banned from bowl eligibility for 2012. The basketball team is usually playing in the shadow of goal posts on the Ohio State campus, where fans love to pack the football stadium and watch the band spell out "Ohio" in script at halftime. Football is the overriding talk of the town, even when it involves the program's recent scandals. Spring football practice began Wednesday as Ohio State's basketball team prepared for its second trip to the Final Four in the last six years. ASSOCIATED PRESS Perfect symmetry there. Lately, the basketball team is generating a little of its own. The Buckeyes will play Kansas in the national semifinals on Saturday night. They won their only national basketball title in 1960, part of a run of three straight trips to the title game. For at least one week, hoops is grabbing its share of the attention around town, even though Buckeye sports websites still count down the number of days until the annual football game against Michigan. "The buzz we brought, being known not only as a football school but as a basketball school, is great," Sullinger said. "But at the "Maybe during our period we elevated it a little bit, but I think everybody knows the case is that football is predominant there," former Buckeye basketball star Jerry Lucas said in a phone interview on Wednesday. The football program brought the school notoriety last season. Coach Jim Tressel was forced out in May for lying about his players breaking NCAA rules. The team went 6-7 and dropped its last four games, including a loss to Florida in the Gator Bowl. The program was banned from a bowl in 2012. "Obviously, there's a lot more interest at Duke in basketball," Lucas said. "Football at Duke hasn't been very successful. I think it's the fact that historically Ohio State has been very successful in football. Basketball is kind of a Johnny-come-lately." same time, we don't want the train to stop at this particular moment. Hopefully we can keep it rolling." The Final Four timing is perfect for a school still recovering from last fall. It was only the football teams' second losing season since 1988. Meyer was hired in November, overshadowing the start of basketball season on campus. No surprise. Even when the Buckeyes were on top of college basketball in the early 1960s, the basketball team still took a seat in the second row. Lucas, a member of the Ohio State teams that won the national championship in 1960 and lost to Cincinnati in the 1961 and 1962 title games, thinks football has never loosened its grip on the campus. It's a fact that every basketball coach has to accept. "I've always felt we could have the best of both at Ohio State," coach Thad Matta said. "I know Reaching another Final Four should help the program get a little bit more of its own identity. "It kind of puts a spotlight on the program because we're the last four teams playing in the NCAA tournament," Sullinger said. "I know recruits want to win. That was the biggest thing for me. Matta has returned the basketball program to national prominence. The Buckeyes hadn't reached the Final Four since 1999 when he took over. He led them to the Final Four in 2007, when they beat Georgetown before losing the title game to Florida. with all the trials and tribulations that have gone on with football over the past year, I'm elated for the university probably most importantly that we've got some great things happening. With coach Meyer coming in, things are really stepping up in that regard. "For (basketball), over the course of the last few years, this program has identified itself. I've always said this: There is no greater feeling than being on the field when 105,000 people are cheering for the Buckeyes to come out and you've got a couple recruits with you. "That is the ultimate right there." "For fans, hopefully people don't say we're a football school Could Ohio State be known just as much for basketball as football? just a football school. Now they can switch that and say we're a basketball school and a football school." "I probably doubt that will hap pen," Sullinger said.

When needed, Craft can become a lethal offensive player. Against Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament, he notched his first career double-double with 17 points and 10 assists. Craft will need to disrupt Taylor early and often, but will also have to score crucial points if the Buckeyes offense lags. Tyshawn Taylor's play was a question mark in non-conference play. Now the question is answered. The senior guard continues to improve offensively. The Bob Cousy Award finalist has scored 20 or more points in five of his last nine games.

Anthony and Iman Shumpert each scored 25 points for the Knicks (26-25), who won for the eighth time in nine games despite playing without the injured Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin. New York outscored Orlando 65-30 in the middle two quarters and has a winning record for the first time since it was 6-5 before a loss to Oklahoma City on Jan. 14. The Knicks moved 2 1/2 games ahead of Milwaukee for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and pulled within 2 1/2 of Philadelphia and Boston for first place in the Atlantic Division. New York could get Stoudenmire back before the end of the season, announcing Wednesday that he could be back in two to four weeks after non-surgical treatment for a bulging disk in his back.

Y -Max Rothman THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2012 PAGE 7B COLLEGE BASKETBALL Despite lower expectations at the beginning Self shows coaching expertise this season 10 ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas coach Bill Self answers questions during a news conference, Saturday, March 24, in St. Louis, Kansas defeated North Carolina and is scheduled to play Ohio State in the Final Four game on Saturday ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS, La. — The question has been dressed in different ways, asked by countless people in every situation imaginable: Is this the best coaching job of Kansas coach Bill Self's career? The second-seeded layhawks have played a who's who of major college basketball: Duke and Kentucky, Missouri and Baylor. They beat Ohio State during the regular season, the team they'll play in the Final Four on Saturday night, and won their record eighth straight Big 12 title. And they've done it with an All-American forward, Thomas Robinson, who hardly got off the bench last year, one of the nation's most dynamic guards, Tyshawn Taylor, whose career has taken more plot twists than a telenovela, and one of the best shot-blockers in school history, Jeff Withey, who averaged all of 6.2 minutes per game last season. It was such a mish-mash of talent that even Self tried to temper expectations of a fan base that considers anything less than a trip to the Final Four to be just another year. "When we started, I think the reality was, 'I hope we're good enough to get in,' Self said. "The players that we thought these guys could become, they've become." Does that mean Self has done the finest job培养 of his career? He's still not biting on that one. "I don't know that you should rate." Self said earlier this week, before the team departed for New Orleans. "I'll say this: This has been one of the easier coaching jobs we had because it's been easy to get guys to buy in and be exactly what we want them to be" So if Self isn't willing to rate his teams, perhaps his players will take the bait. Conner Teahan is a good place to start. The fifth-year senior red-shirted last season so that he could play more minutes in his final year. That means he's the lone player left from the 2008 team that cut down the nets for the school's fifth national championship. "I'm impressed by his coaching performances every year. He does a great job regardless of the team," said Teahan, often the first player off the bench and a dangerous outside shooter. “This team might not have as much talent,” he said, “but then it's just as hard to manage a lot of talent. When you have a team that's really, really talented, you got to have guys that are going to buy into the system and not be selfish, and he does a good job of doing that." Most people believe the Jayhawks of the past couple seasons were far more talented. Two years ago it was Sherron Collins and Xavier Henry getting the attention, and last year it was the Morris twins, Marcus and Markleiff, along with freshman guard Josh Selby. But despite all that firepower, the Jayhawks headed home early come March. "He took a team a lot of people didn't think would be — let alone in the Final Four — to the top of their conference. To be able to do that says a lot," said Taylor, a four-year starter. Taylor said this season has reminded him of his freshman year, when Kansas lost several stars from its title team. Expectations were a bit lower, yet the layhawks rallied around several former role players to win 27 games and reach the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. Of course, the big difference is that this team is still playing. Maybe it's fairer to compare this year's squad to the championship team, which was also the last team Kansas had in the Final Four. Both of them had go-to scorers, both had marquee wins over big-name programs, and both relied on defense to make everything work. "The '08 Final Four team would be favored, but I'm not sure the '12 Final Four team would buy into that at all." Self said, musing on a dream matchup between two versions of the lajhawks. "It's unbelievable to me how much these guys enjoy competing. The longer they compete with each other, the more they like each other," he said. "This is a close team. We've had some close teams in the past, but I don't think we've had a team this close." Even though Self appears unwilling to admit it, his coaching performance during this NCAA tournament — from a straight X's and O's standpoint — has been nearly flawless. Kansas dominated smaller Detroit in its opening game, and then ran into red-hot Robbie Hummel and Purdue. Self switched from his standard man-to-man defense to a triangle-and-two, allowing Kansas to finally shut down the Boilermakers' star and ease ahead in the closing seconds. Self returned to the zone in the regional semifinals against North Carolina, and so appeared to confuse the Tar Heels that coach Roy Williams wasn't even sure how often it was used. Williams guessed one or two possessions; Self said it was the final eight minutes. Either way, the switch coincided with the jayhawks' push to victory. "Besides the X's and O's part about it and him just him understanding the game, the coaching staff does a good job breaking down every team and having us prepared," Taylor said. "I haven't been around other coaching staffs to know, but I don't see it being any better because we're well prepared for every game and we know the scouting report on every team really well." Sounds like someone's willing to admit this may be Self's best coaching job. BASKETBALL Love key in leading Timberwolves to defeat Bobcats, 88-83 ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kevin Love is playing so well this month he's beginning to garner MVP consideration. And rightfully so. Sure, the Minnesota Timberwolves might be on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoff picture, but Love's numbers are getting harder and harder to ignore. Love had 40 points and 19 rebounds Wednesday night to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to an 88-83 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. It was Love's third-highest point total in March, and pushed his scoring average in 15 games in the month to 31.2. Love has scored at least 20 points in 14 of his last 15 games and has 44 double-doubles on the season, including nine straight games. Before the game, Bobcats coach Paul Silas said Love without question should be considered an MVP candidate and his opinion didn't change after he dominated his young big men Bismack Biyombo and Byron Mullens. "If he continues to do what he's doing for a good portion of his career he's going to be one of the best ever," Silas said. "He's just tenacious. That ball goes up and he's there. And he's strong ... The young boys we have are not ready for that. So that makes it difficult." As for all of the MVP talk, Love said, "In some ways it's warranted, but we need to win a lot more games in order to be anywhere close to that." Love said he feels like he's worked hard on his conditioning to get where he is and he's in a good groove when it comes to shooting the ball. "I'm not stopping." Love said. "I'm continuing to get better." Love got some needed help against the Bobcats. Point guard Luke Ridnour had a season-high 14 assists and added 15 points for Minnesota, fighting to get into playoff contention in the Western Conference. Forward Anthony Tolliver added his first double-double of the season as well, with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

It's that feeling you get when you step outside after your last class on Friday afternoon to the sun's warm embrace, enticing you to cure your cabin fever in the playful freedom of an ideal spring day. Especially when that Friday marks the beginning of spring break — here in Lawrence it was 84 degrees that day. I know it seems like years ago already, but rewind back two weeks and try to remember how you were feeling as the temperature began to rise and your week-long plans far away from the school grind became real. That feeling is perfectly summed up for me by quintessential feel-good summer jam "Feel It All Around" by Washed Out, Youtube it, folks. Really. Spring inevitably usher in another kind of giddyness in young people — that of a blossoming romance. As the trees regain life and the flowers blossom, so do our hearts and hormones. New relationships come to fruition, new crushes develop and lovin' is on many minds as students ditch the winter blues in favor of summer love. But I must give credit to Rachel Cheon for her use of "giddy" in this week's issue. Her feature story on the common mistakes students make in relationships examines that excitement felt in the early stages of a new relationship and how you can find out if it's truly meant to be. See page 11 for more. Whether or not it works out long-term, that giddiness is a feeling we've all probably felt, appreciate and love. So enjoy it! Let the flirting and the chases commence, But remember, when it comes time to hibernate through the winter again, make sure you can stand the person you're slated to cuddle up with.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS BY TARA BRYANT Religion is an integral part of some people's relationships. Whether it is going to services together or reading religious books, religion is a main factor that plays a large role. Some people will only date people of their same religion, while others who value religion are open to dating people with other beliefs. Religion is also important in some relationships because of how the religion defines love and relationships. Emily Brenner, Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) missionary, tries to help cultivate a Christian culture on campus in many aspects of life including romantic relationships. Love is a fundamental and innate vocation of every human being, Brenner says. "Dating is supposed to help you discern and lead to marriage, not meaning every person you date you have to think you have to marry. But every person is part of your story for a reason," Brenner says. Brenner is dating Brandon Gargus, a non-denominational Christian who attends McKendree University in Lebanon, Ill. When she first met him, she thought he was cute, but didn't think she could date him because of his religion. She decided to give it a try, but within two weeks, she says she had an emotional breakdown thinking about the religious barrier. When Brenner talked to Gargus, he said he was open to being married in the Catholic Church, and Brenner was relieved. "People ask would I marry him if he wasn't Catholic. I wouldn't be dating him if I couldn't see myself marrying him," Brenner says, "I believe love is willing the good of another and doing everything to help them get to heaven. Me loving him was sharing my Catholic faith and lifestyle." Katie Hayes, a sophomore from Pittsburg, was raised Catholic, and was taught from an early age that the greatest love comes from Jesus because he died for us. "If someone loves you so much that they'll do anything for you, that's ultimately what love should be," Hayes says. For Hayes, loving someone also means you will do anything to help that person get to heaven. That is what Hayes and her boyfriend of the same faith, TJ Wallace, try to do for each other. One way they try to help each other is by staying abstinent. "If I love him, I'm not going to try to tempt him and he feels the same way about me. We don't want each other to sin, so we try to keep it pure," Hayes says. The two decided the best way for them to keep a pure relationship was with prayer; the two try to pray together on the phone each day. Because the religious aspect of her relationship with her boyfriend is so important, Hayes doesn't know if she could date someone who wasn't a devout Catholic. "If I don't have a boyfriend supporting me, that would be hard. A lot of people don't understand and misunderstand the Catholic church, so, if he didn't understand my views, that would be really hard," Hayes says. Robert Shelton, professor of religious studies, says it's hard to determine what religion dictates because culture always plays a big role in religion. "Culture is a given in human experience. It can change and vary. Sometimes people make a change in religion and in the process they make adjustments in what they have practiced through culture." Shelton says. To Mike Marcus, Shawnee freshman, God is the essence of love. Marcus, a Methodist, says it is important in a relationship to be able to grow in faith with that person. To grow in faith together, Marcus and his girlfriend Sam Hinrichs, Kansas State freshman and non-denominational Christian, send each other Scripture passages via text every morning and then talk about it that night when they Skype. But he knows everyone doesn't see love in that way, and there's no universal definition. "There are always differing opinions on what a relationship is," Marcus says. "Even in my own church there are people who have complete opposite thoughts. Ultimately love is what you make of it." Diverse Devotions KU religious studies professors Robert Shelton and Jacquelene Brinton share how other religions view relationships and love - In Hinduism in India, parents find families for their sons to marry into. The parents have the final say on the marriage Sometimes the future married couple won't meet until after the marriage has been arranged. - In Islam, the Koran has teachings about relationships and spousal roles. It says that males and females were created to be companions. A couple is supposed to complement each other through fulfilling the different roles they have. This has been interpreted to mean that a man has a more worldly role and a women has a role at home. 5 03 29 12 "A recent economic impact study shows that Final Fridays are bringing in at least $85,000 each final Friday to restaurants and businesses around the locations," said Final Fridays Coordinator Molly Murphy.

Wanting Powerful Swimmers Dear WPS. The average volume of semen produced during ejaculation is between 2 and 5 milliliters; 5 mL being approximately 1 teaspoon. Lower volume may occur after frequent ejaculation and higher after prolonged abstinence. According to the World Health Organization, "normal" sperm count should be at least 40 million in number; have at least 75 percent of the spermatoza be living; at least 30 percent should be of normal shape and form; at least 25 percent should be swimming rapidly; and at least 50 percent should be swimming forward, even if only sluggish. A "normal" sperm count does not guarantee fertilizing success too high of sperm count can also result in fertility problems. You can increase your chances of producing healthy sperm by increasing your vitamin intake, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, managing stress levels, exercising frequently, and lowering your body fat (too much fat can disrupt production of reproductive hormones). Your little guys are sensitive to environmental factors and toxic chemicals. Therefore, to keep them strong and healthy: - Avoid tobacco, excessive alcohol, and drugs. Marijuana can decrease sperm and cocaine can cause erectile dysfunction - Avoid excessive and prolonged heat to the genitals. Although, don't be like Mike "The Situation" on "Jersey Shore" and think you won't get a girl pregnant if you have sex in a hot tub. I would not recommend taking any sex advice from him. - Limit time on your bike, throw out tight underwear, keep your laptop off of your lap,and if you're taking steroids, stop. If you continue to have low quantity or have reproductive difficulty, ask your doctor about a semen analysis. Michelle MacBain, Kansas City is a graduate student in Communication Studies. She studied Psychology and Human Sexuality at KU and the University of Amsterdam. Email questions to michelle@michellemacbain.com BRING ME Home. HAVE Your WAY WITH ME.

After they both decided they wanted to be a part of the homecoming jingle, they ended up sitting next to each other during a practice. "I texted my friend and said 'Who is the girl in the yellow sweatshirt?'" Andrew says. "The first thing I thought when I saw her was 'I absolutely have to talk to her.'" Now, three years later, Anna and Andrew know that the constant support they give one another is what has kept them together. Dating Tip: Make each other a priority and always support one another. This past summer, Anna studied abroad in Ireland while Andrew held an 03 6 29 12 internship in Overland Park. Andrew worked 40 hours a week and Anna was halfway across the world, but at the end of the day, they made it a priority to talk and catch up on their separate endeavors. Even now, if Anna is having a bad day, Andrew will surprise her with a Coke or send her pictures of dogs wearing hats and mustaches, just to make her smile. "Whenever I am sad he talks to me in an Elmo voice." Anna says. "That always makes me laugh." No matter where they go after graduation, Anna and Andrew know that they will always be each other's biggest fans. Just like their song "Everything" says, "You're every line, you're every word, you're everything." "The best way to explain why I love Anna is because she's my moment," Andrew says. "She is constantly on my mind and she is always there for me through all aspects of our lives." --- More made field goals for Kansas Ohio State's star player Jared Sullinger tries to pump up his team during a timeout in the game against Kansas earlier where his team was defeated 78-67.

Jamie Simpson started her work as the director of Accessibility and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Education on March 22. She will coordinate campus-wide activities to promote the ADA and she will be the go-to person for ADA compliance. She will also help professors better accommodate students with disabilities on more personal level, like suggesting ways to work with each student's individual disability in class. On the search committee for that position was Glen White, who is a professor of Applied Behavioral Sciences, director of the Research and Training Center on Independent Living (RTCIL), and a wheelchair user. He says Simpson will be UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MUSIC THERAPY PHOTO BY TRAVIS YOUNG Elizabeth Boresow, senior from Overland Park, has austism but knows her rights are the same as any other person's. the person for professors to go to when they don't know how to best educate a student with a disability. "If I had a student that was blind, and I didn't know what to do to accommodate that person," White says, "she could give me some ideas about Brailling or when I do my presentations, describe what's in the pictures." White advocates for all people with disabilities. The RTCIL is meant to help people with disabilities fully participate in society, and that includes students. "We have a lot of students with disabilities on campus," White says. "I think the key thing is to try to provide equal opportunity, equal access for all students so they can compete on equal footing." One of those students is Lauren Wismer, junior from Overland Park, who is deaf. If you didn't already know, you probably wouldn't be able to guess that Wiser is deaf. She can read lips and speak to people who don't know sign language, but in classes, it's difficult for her to try to read every word her professors say and take notes at the same time. Two years ago, before her hearing loss "bottomed out," as she says, she could use hearing aids. Now, the hearing aids don't help much because she can't hear noises that are less than 120 decibels, which is as loud as a chainsaw. Anything much higher can cause pain in an average ear. Wismer must only focus on her sign language interpreters, which she uses in all of her classes, tutoring sessions and advising appointments. It can be very confusing to switch her thoughts from speaking to signing, Wismer says. Because of this, she also uses in-class note takers. And, the fire alarm in her dorm flashes to alert her to the sound she can't hear. However, Wismer doesn't want people to think that her accommodations are giving her more help than necessary. "The accommodations that people with disabilities get are to make the playing ground equal. It's not to make things easier for us than it is for other people," Wismer says. "We're not just getting it easy." Wismer is in the majority of students with disabilities on campus who have non-obvious disabilities. Of the approximately 700 registered students with disabilities, about 85 percent of them have non-obvious disabilities, says Andrew Shoemaker, director of Disability Resources. Non-obvious disabilities include learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), psychiatric, health or medical issues. In the other 15 percent of those students are the ones with mobile disabilities. A person in a wheelchair cannot use a single one of the hundreds of stairs on campus — Strong Hall alone has 595 stairs, inside and outside combined, according to KU Info. To accommodate for the stairs, every building has a wheelchair accessible entrance. Because it can be so difficult to climb the hill using a wheelchair, if a person who uses a wheelchair requests to have his or her classes moved to more easily accessible buildings (for example, all along Jayhawk Boulevard), the University makes every effort to accommodate that request. Similarly, when an elevator breaks, the Disability Resources office notifies the students who have reported mobility disabilities, and then works with the Registrar's Office to try to relocate the class, Shoemaker says. Anyone who wants accommodations on campus must provide the appropriate documentation of his or her disability to Disability Resources. Then that person and Disability Resources work together to determine the appropriate accommodations, Shoemaker says. The most common accommodation for a person with a disability to receive is extended time on tests, followed by an in-class note taker, like Wismer has. Elizabeth Boresow, a senior from Overland Park with autism, receives less common accommodations. Loud noises and commotion make her uncomfortable. When a fire alarm goes off, she is excused from class for the rest of the day to calm down. When she becomes distressed or tired, she is unable to communicate verbally and must use sign language. "It makes me a little different, but I think it's okay," Boresow says. "People with disabilities can do everything other people can." 7 03 29 12 Before it started, artists and galleries worked individually.

Better Options: Cursing-It's pretty common,but not always acceptable. // MEGAN HINMAN You might call it cussing, cursing, or swearing. If you're my mom, you call it "using toilet-tooth, potty-mouth words." No matter what you call it, other people may perceive your foul language negatively, depending on your social context and your intent, says Wes Crenshaw, psychologist at Family Therapy Institute Midwest in Lawrence. "What is acceptable among friends is not with family, and may meet with consequences," Crenshaw says. "Cursing at a bar is seen as part of the conversation. Cursing at a nice dinner date, even just with a partner, would not be seen as acceptable." I will never tell you. Hear no evil. Dirty words should be reserved for appropriate situations. For Greg Pach, sophomore from Athens, Ohio, cursing comes naturally. He says it is habitual for him. "I just do it a lot at inappropriate times," Pach says, like while watching the KU basketball game against Missouri in the presence of young children, or in class. "I don't think it's a bad thing. I think I just need to choose appropriate times wisely." He's right. It's not a bad thing. Several studies have found that cursing can literally relieve pain. One 2009 NeuroReport study showed that when two groups of college students held their hands in freezing water, the ones who were allowed to repeat a curse word reported less physical pain than the group who could only repeat a normal word. However, the more often you use a curse word, the weaker its effect becomes. To lower your usage of offensive language, try replacing curse words with G-rated words. Nocursuring.com offers a filter for swear words. Just type in the word you need to replace and an equal, more socially acceptable word will appear. If that doesn't do the trick, try cursing in another language if you know it, or just make up a word. Or, try replacing curse words with similar sounding words, like "shoot" instead of "shit." PHOTO BY MEGAN HINMAN Actively trying to change your language can make you more aware of how often you use these words, and could better prepare you for a time when cursing is unacceptable. 03 29 12 8 More made field goals for Kansas Ohio State's star player Jared Sullinger tries to pump up his team during a timeout in the game against Konsas earlier where his team was defeated 78-67.

From their early viral videos to cult TV favorites "Tom Goes To The Mayor" and "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job," the deadpan duo anomalous blend of aggressively absurdist humor and public-access channeled grotesquerie has earned them scores of loyal pep-peps and beaver boys, along with a band of equally passionate detractors. I personally find them hilarious, so perhaps this review of "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" should be taken with a Chippy-sized grain of salt. Like the slack-jawed, khaki-loving spawn of Andy Kaufman and David Lynch, Tim and Eric embrace a very specific comic aesthetic, one that foregoes nuisances like plot or character development in favor of delivering one gut-busting gag after another. The story, such as it is, involves the boys' failure to recoup their losses after a billion-dollar film shoot produces only three minutes of usable footage starring an obvious Johnny Depp impersonator and the interminable services of self-help guru Jim Joe Kelly (Zach Galifianakis). With a price on their heads courtesy of wrathful billionaire Tommy Schlaaang (a nearly mummified Robert Loggia), Tim and Eric shed their spray-tanned Hollywood personas and skip town. After weeks of awkwardly galloping through the desert, they arrive at the derelict Swallow Valley Mall, a wolf-infested hellhouse run by a deranged "Top Gun" enthusiast (Will Ferrell) and inhabited by a horde of post-human wretches, including an ill-tempered sword salesman (Will Forte) and the loveable but diseased man-child Taquito (John C. Reilly). In exchange for safe harbor, the boys pledge to revitalize the mall using their apparently unrivaled (and previously non-existent) PR skills The film is populated by a bevy of bona fide movie stars, ranging from Jeff Goldblum (credited here as Chef Goldblum) to "Twin Peaks" veteran Ray Wise as the mall's resident spiritual healer, whose patented "Shrim" baths are the stuff of nightmares. But it's Reilly's phlegm-choked, yogurt-loving dummkopf who truly steals the show. While "Billion Dollar Movie" will doubtlessly please longtime fans, the FINAL RATING: ★★★★☆ uninitiated may emerge dismayed or even repulsed by what they've seen. This is exactly what Tim and Eric want. Comedy, whether it's meant to induce fits of laughter or unrepentant squirming, is one of the most subjective pursuits imaginable, and these guys have found its sweet spot. Great job!

Movie Review John Carter // LANDON MCDONALD 10 Since their publication nearly a century ago, Edgar Rice Burroughs's John Carter novels have represented a literary benchmark for geeks, a sci-fi touchstone that has gone on to influence everything from "Star Wars" and "Avatar" to Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" saga. Now Andrew Stanton, the Pixar-schooled futurist behind "Wall-E" and "Finding Nemo," is attempting to kickstart a new franchise with "John Carter," an ambitious but dramatically inert swashbuckler that suffers from uneven plotting, lackluster visuals and a mythology rendered obsolete by decades of refined imitation. To be fair though, almost any movie involving a Civil War soldier who gets zapped to Mars to battle giant white apes and save a princess who's also a professor is bound to seem inherently goofy when presented on an enormous screen in murky, post-converted 3-D. After a ponderous prologue featuring a fictionalized Burroughs (Daryl Sabara from "Spy Kids") and the discovery of a cave lined with Apache gold, John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) awakens on Mars, referred to here as Barsoom. Rendered superhumanly light and agile by the red planet's gravity field, the former Confederate quickly finds himself caught up in a sectarian war between two city-states: the embattled citizens of Helium, represented by the spunky scientist Princess Dejah (Lynn Collins), and Zodanga, led by an evil autocrat (Dominic West) and his ominously bald advisor (Mark Strong). There's also a proud warrior race of four-armed green creatures led by the bombastic Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe), who insists on calling our hero Virginia after a conversation about home states is lost in translation. Despite the film's notoriously troubled pre-production, one would expect Stanton's vaunted direction to combine these disparate elements into a rollicking adventure full of breathless spectacle and a genuine sense of wonder and affection for the characters. Yet "John Carter" stumbles where all his previous efforts have soared. Much fault can be found with the screenplay, which seeks to replicate Burroughs's pulpy prose with embarrassingly stilted dialogue. It doesn't help matters that Kitsch chooses to play Carter as a sneering, guttural meathead instead of a noble savior of worlds. The attractive Collins fares a bit better as Dejah, although Carrie Fisher's Leia remains the bun-headed standard by which all warrior princesses are judged and then summarily dismissed. Strong and Dafoe, both consumate actors, rail against the constraints of the script and in Dafoe's case, the woefully uninspired creature design that turns a passionate, rousing performance into a gawky, scultling blob.

OR NOT? Signs a relationship won't last // RACHEL CHEON You are thinking about texting your crush. You want to talk and flirt, but you are afraid that person might think you are being too obvious, too smitten, too easy, or you're afraid of possibly getting ignored. You want to play hard to get, but you don't want the crush to think you are not interested. While pondering the possibilities, you get a text from your crush. "What's up?" which means in your mind "I've been thinking about you too and want to talk to you." Yay! You become giddy. Simply liking someone can make a short, mediocre text an endorphin-inducing experience. But if liking someone and falling in love is so wonderful, why do so many romantic relationships fall apart? According to the book, "A General Theory of Love" by Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini and Richard Lannon, people fall in love seven times in a lifetime on average. This means we tend to have more failed relationships than successful ones that last. Dennis Dailey, retired social welfare professor at KU, taught about human sexuality for more than 37 years, and offers private counseling for couples. He says the biggest mistake college students make in relationships is holding on too long. "Of all the time you explore, before you make the decision to commit to somebody, all of those other relationships broke up, because they were supposed to, because of wrong timing, wrong person, or wrong match," Dailey says.

Wearing rose-colored glasses Isabella Sangui, a KU graduate, has counseled students about relationship problems for eight years as a psychologist for the University of Oriente in Cumana, Venezuela, and Central University in Caracas, Venezuela. She says when getting to know each other, students commonly make mistake of not seeing the person clearly, and moving too fast. "Everybody in this stage is nice, gentle, sweet, and hiding whatever would make the other person have doubts about being in a relationship." Sangui says. David Kim, a senior from Wichita, agrees people often act to impress their crush. "You might have to change up your game depending on what kind of girl you are flirting with," Kim says. "But if you PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS BY ASHLEGH LEE KU KU Sometimes it takes making multiple mistakes with different people before finding "the one." want to keep this girl around for a long run, it's important to show her who you really are." This phase can determine if the attraction is mutual, but because of the natural desire to show only the best sides, Sangui suggests slowing down to get to know the person. Expecting too much Another common mistake in this stage is acting like a couple, even though the two aren't officially together. Irene Smith, graduate student from Chicago, says she expected too much, too soon. During her sophomore year in college, she was seeing someone who seemed to be her potential boyfriend. They flirted daily, and she thought they would become official in a matter of time. However, when she found out that he was going on a trip for two days with a student organization, she worried he would meet new girls and flirt with them. She told him not to go, but he went and they had a fight afterwards and never ended up together. "He was still single" Smith says. "In my mind, I was already expecting to be treated like an exclusive girlfriend." Remember to slow down, and enjoy the light, fun part of the phase. ( IN A RELATIONSHIP ) Thinking the honeymoon phase is real and eternal The beginning part of the actual relationship is referred to as the "honey-eymoon" phase because it's when two people feel like they are falling in love with each other. Sue Olson, marriage and family therapist at Sunflower Family Therapy, $729 \frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts St., says there's a neurological explanation behind the honeymoon phase because endorphins, or the "happy hormone," and oxytocin, the "cuddle hormone," create intensely fuzzy, positive happiness. "The these hormones don't let us think very clearly," Olson says. "We tend to think, 'I can't even begin to see your flaws. You are perfect in every way.'" Kevin Kline, a junior from Seattle, says he likes everything about a girl during this stage. "If I'm in this phase, I like even the freaking dirt in the air as long as I'm with her," Kline says. He warns, however, that he starts to see flaws of the woman he's into after this phase and realizes that everything he's been seeing in her so far has been more of the perfect, impossible version of the real person. Olson says even if you see a potential problem in this phase, you don't think it will be an issue. "Much of the phase is physiological, reacting from neurological perspective, and we are just enjoying," Olson says. Realizing that honeymoon phase is temporary, and being aware that you may be ignoring warning signs may help to make fewer mistakes. Getting too comfortable, and playing the blame game As the honeymoon stage passes, couples start showing their real sides and getting too comfortable, starting "sweatpants syndrome" and not being as attentive to partners as before, resulting in accusations that the partner has changed. Vickie Hull, marriage and family therapist with a private practice on 1201 Wakarusa Dr., has seen couples who became disappointed with each other after dating for a while. "I have worked with young married couples who have divorced only after a couple years of marriage, because 'It just wasn't fun anymore'," Hull says. "That is tragic, because all relationships have this initial feel-good phase, but then the relationship naturally matures, and real life does set in." Kathy Garner,* a senior from Overland Park, says long-term relationships may fall apart when a couple gets too comfortable with each other. "My ex started to vegetate and play video games, got fat and quit his hygiene upkeep, as well as going to classes. He got pretty disgusting and I couldn't stand it," Garner says. 12 03 29 12 Hull says in this case, Garner's ex-boyfriend was showing his true self, rather than having changed as a person. Before, he was using Prince Charming as a short-term persona to attract and interest her, but he couldn't keep that persona up any longer. "Even if she could convince him to put the prince suit back on, it wouldn't fit forever. Think how hard it is to change yourself and then realize it will be even harder to change someone else, especially if they don't want that change." It is common to think a partner has changed than to realize that the person you possibly fell for in the beginning was not 100 percent real to begin with, and it can also be a mistake to take each other for granted and stop making an effort to impress each other.

Dailey says. "You can't possibly know that on some final terms. So then the question becomes, how willing are you to take a risk that this might be the right person?" KU It's not hard to find yourself on a different page than your partner. PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS BY ASHLIEGH LEE Not maintaining individuality Being in a relationship may come with another common mistake: neglecting friends by having the partner become their only go-to person. Julia Schafermeyer, licensed professional counselor in Lawrence at 1012 Massachusetts St., often sees someone going through a break up and having a hard time as an independent person. While dating, the person has cut off friends and spent time and shared thoughts with mainly the significant other. That person loses one's identity, and everything about the person has become more of the identity as a couple. After breaking up, "they have the story about really needing the other person and feeling really empty without them," Schafermeyer says. "The mistake is having lost their sense of identity." Being on different pages (or circles) Anne Owen, psychologist at 5200 Bob Billings Parkway, says to think of a relationship as an archery target. If the person is acting near the bulls-eye, the person is being very intimate and feels like their partner is the most important person. The further away from the bulls-eye, the lower the level of intimacy and the fewer shared goals. "You want to be in the same ring (of the circle) that the other person expects. If not, it can be painful and sort of disconnect the couple." Owen says. Christina Weiss, a senior from Los Angeles, thought her three-year relationship was dull, and thought her boyfriend was more like a brother, but she was not breaking up yet because she didn't know if it was just a phase. When her boyfriend realized how she felt, he became afraid of losing her and became possessive, and told her he wanted to marry her. He pressured her to express the same desire, and even had his parents talk to her about a wedding date. "It was too soon, and I wasn't ready. I realized that we weren't right for each other. I didn't feel that way so strongly until he brought marriage up though." Weiss says. Acting outside the ring of the circle that you are being presented with can result in either being too demanding, or too apathetic to the partner, which can wear both partners down. ( THE BREAK-UP PHASE ) Being afraid to suffer Lawrence therapist Vickie Hull says trying to convince yourself and your partner to hang on to a dead relationship is common, even by begging, pleading, or threatening. "None of these are attractive or worth it. If you have to coerce someone to stay, do you really want to know that is why they are staying? The risk of dating is that you might break up. This is reality," Hull says. Irene Smith was in a four-year relationship, and she remembers that after breaking up with her boyfriend, she kept thinking about the good memories with him and thought being together again would make her happy. Her ex felt the same way, and they did get back together. But shortly after, they broke up again. "Usually, unless it was just some break up over a stupid, petty fight, couples that break up once over a serious problem will likely to break up again with that exact same problem." Smith says. In order to move on, you have to suffer, even though it may seem more comfortable to go back to the in-a-relationship phase you are used to being in. After breaking up with her boyfriend for good, Smith had hard time dealing with the sudden feeling of "emptiness." Not taking enough time to heal She had been in the relationship for so long, it took her a while to get used to being single. "It was hard to deal with, at that time not knowing when I would completely heal," Smith says. "So I dated guys who were being nice to me. I wasn't even into them that much, but I liked the attention and the sense of security that someone likes me." Hull suggests taking time to reflect on what worked and what didn't work so that you will have a better idea of what will make for a better next relationship. To help with this phase, it is important for the person initiating the breakup to let the partner know why the relationship wasn't working. ( THE MORAL ) So after that 'What's up?' text, you and the crush may go out on a date, see each other few more times, but not end up as a couple. Or you two may become official. But then again, you might also break up. Who knows? Even if you meet "the one", your relationship will still be unpredictable and require effort. Professor Dailey has been married since he was 21 years old, and he says he and his wife constantly negotiate to manage differences that are inevitable in relationships. "College students are always asking me, 'How do you know he's (or she's) the Four Horsemen of a Relationship John Gottman, a marriage researcher and co-founder of The Gottman Relationship Institute, came up with four characteristics of a couple that can predict a relationship ending. "Horsemen" refer to the four evils that will come at the end of the world in the Bible.'Anne Owen, psychologist in Lawrence explains the four horsemen. 1. Criticism- "It's like saying 'You never take me anywhere,' rather than saying "I would really like it if you would take me out to dinner." 2. Contempt. "This includes sarasm, eye-rolling, making insults, and other things intently trying to hurt the other person." 3. Defensiveness- "it's like when someone says, 'You never spend time with me,' and the other person gets defensive and says, What do you mean? It's you who doesn't spend time with me!' It's an opportunity to fix the problem, but the issues don't get resolved." 4. Stonewailing- "It's when someone is just like 'talk to the hand, I'm not listening anymore.' The person shuts down and just utterly derails any kind of communication, and conveys disrespectful attitude." Taking a risk means going through the phases and possibly making mistakes such as these common ones. We may even not realize some mistakes before it's too late. But in reality, "That's what dating is all about," Dailey says. "Otherwise it's romance novels from Dillon's, or Hy-Vee." *name has been changed 13 03 29 12 "This sort of energy is good for Lawrence, and it is a more cohesive night for everybody." Murphy said.

Singer/keyboardist Alaina Moore is featured on the album artwork. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Everything changed for Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore when they set out on a seven-month sailboat adventure along the Atlantic coast. Reflecting on their trip, the married couple wrote some songs upon returning to Colorado. Reputable indie label Fat Possum took notice after some of their mp3s picked up Internet buzz, and the band released a handful of EPs and 7-inch singles in mid-2010. Fat Possum eventually released the group's debut album "Cape Dory" in January 2011. Riley and Moore recruited drummer James Barone for support on their first tour (which included a February 2011 stop at The Jackpot) after releasing "Cape Dory." Tennis is currently on tour, but won't be stopping in Lawrence this time. The group is taking a break after hitting the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas earlier this month, but they head out in April for eleven more shows from Vancouver to Tucson. and 2006. "Cape Dory" is a dreamy, oceanic collection of straightforward pop songs with lo-fi dirt and old-school girl-group aesthetics. The new record shoots for a bluesy, more rock 'n' roll edge, which is where Carney comes in. Tennis' sophomore effort "Young and Old" was released (also by Fat Possum) last month on Valentine's Day.

He became a rock star, trading in his wand for a guitar and fighting to keep music fun. He also owns an art gallery. Ok. fine. Even as a super fan, I'm willing to admit Harry Potter is a fictional character, but Paul DeGeorge, the very real owner of Wonder Fair, the downtown Lawrence art gallery and store, is keeping his name and spirit alive and rocking with his band, Harry and the Potters. The band formed in 2002 as a joke between Harry Potter aficionados and brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge. The duo had always appreciated concept bands and thought the idea of playing punk rock to kids in libraries was the perfect blend of subversion and fun. With voices that sound like indie-rock darling Connor Oberst and lyrics that put a hilarious spin on scenes and characters from the iconic books, they quickly became more successful than they had imagined. Their fan base was built-in, thanks to the series' devoted fan following, Paul DeGeorge says. Lovers of the books came out to see the band play at libraries, bookstores, Potter-themed events and more traditional concert venues across the country. They were at the forefront of what is now known as "Wizard Rock," an entire genre of music based off of the world of Harry Potter. "I think that it's amazing the Harry Potter series is able to inspire people to make a subgenre of music, and even a whole sub-culture," says Kim Barrientos, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., and a big fan of Harry Potter. "It shows how powerful and meaningful a story can be for readers of all ages." Giselle Anatol, an associate English professor at the University who teaches the book in her children's literature class and edited a book of scholarly essays about the series, says that she has found current college students to be the most dedicated fans. Many of us grew up with Harry and company, waiting in bookstores and movie theaters until midnight to buy the newest book or watch the latest movie. Joe and Paul were only 15 and 23 when they started the band, but a lot has changed over the past decade. They independently released seven albums, including a Christmas album, and went on several tours. A few years ago, Paul settled down in Lawrence, where he owns Wonder Fair with his fiancee, a doctoral student at the University. Summer Bradshaw, a Wonder Fair staff member and a senior from Olathe, was working on making fliers for the show when I stopped in to ask her what it's like to have a boss that moonlights as Harry Potter. "It's a fun time," Summer says. "It's a big part of his life, and I think they're pretty rad." Paul's fondness for the series even makes remembering the office WiFi password easier, since The brothers DeGeorge will play at Wonder Fair tonight, Thursday, March 29 at 7 p.m. as part of their current Midwest tour, which proves there's life for Harry and the Potters even after the end of Harry Potter. "What we were finding was there are still a lot of new people coming to Harry Potter, parents bringing their kids into that world," says Paul. "If anything, I think we can fill a gap now that there aren't any books or movies. There are still people out there who love Harry Potter and want to celebrate that." Voldemort CAN'T SLOP ROCK! Harry and the Potters CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Harry and the Potters Left: The band's second album, "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" was released in 2004. The DeGeorge brothers worked on it in their parent's shead before taking off to tour the country. Right: Harry and the Potters' self-titled debut album featured some of the Wizard rock's most recognizable songs, including "Save Ginny Weasley." TOM JOHNSON AND DAVID BELL JOE and Paul DeGeorge, brothers from Massachusetts, take on the character of Harry Potter during their shows. Wizard rock guide For a genre built around a children's book series, Wizard Rock has produced a diverse range of groups. Of course they are united by a few common traits, including a love of Harry Potter and an ability to turn easily over-looked details into catchy songs. DRACO AND THE MALFOYS Draco and the Malfoys take on the persona of Harry's childhood nemesis, Draco Malfoy. Expect lots of insults about poor people and orphans, and a surprising amount of bluegrass. TOP SONGS: My Dad is Rich, Potions Yesterday, A Gift for Lucius MINISTRY OF MAGIC This trio takes its name from the government agency that rules over Potter's wizarding world, but their songs are better for dancing than bureaucracy. Assuming the clubs you frequent aren't full of muggles TOP SONGS: House Song, Accio Love, Gryffindor Rally Cry THE PARSELMOUTHS This female duo, which sounds like a mix between Lisa LQeb and L.A.T.u, produced three albums in a year before calling it quits in 2009. It's a far cry from what the name suggests--parselmouths are people that can talk to snakes in their native hisses. TOP SONGS: What Kind of Name is Hermione, The Day I Met a Snake, Voldemort Fangirl THE REMUS LUPINS Named for Harry Potter's favorite teacher who also happens to be a werewolf, The Remus Lupins produce cheerful indie pop with classic rock influences.

Casey Donahew is pure Texas. He was born in Burleson, Texas, graduated from UT in Arlington, and is now the frontman for the popular country-rock music group. Casey Donahew Band. When he's not on stage, he's outside, often playing golf with the band's bass player, Steve Stone. Although he's sold out in Fort Worth at Billy Bob Texas, "the largest honkey-tonk in the world," he still enjoys stopping in Lawrence to play shows at the Granada, as he will phone 5 at 8:30 p.m. WHEN AND HOW DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE A PERFORMER? I started writing in high school but really sucked at playing guitar. In college, my roommate played guitar and my grandpa had given me an old one, so I taught myself how to play. I started playing out at bars in Fort Worth [Texas] and it really went from there. WHERE DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE? WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE AND WHAT DID YOU STUDY? Texas A&M, but I got asked to leave for a lack of attending classes. So I went to UT in Arlington and got a degree in finance in about 2001, I think. I was just always mindful of money, I guess. I figured it would be something I would excel at and keep my interest. WHAT WAS THE WORST JOB YOU EVER HAD? WHY? I was a 9th grade algebra teacher. I was scared all the time. It was not for me. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW? I still love "Much To Young to Feel This Damn Old" by Garth Brooks. HOW WOULD YOU PERSONALLY DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC? Oh, you know, I like to call it "Texas music I grew up watching Pat Green and he would always say "Texas music," so that what I always go with. It's rock and roll country. All through life, something happens all the time that motivates every song. I try to come up with a good hook and work from that. It comes from everyday life. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR CAREER? I just love performing. I love being on stage and having music as an outlet to express myself. I really love the band and the crew and the guys we travel with. We spend a lot of time together and there's good camaraderie; they're a second family. WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU FACE IN THIS BUSINESS? Trying to stay creative with my music and trying to grow as an artist. I try to write better songs and play an instrument better. And there always missing your family and being away from home; that's the tough part. ARE YOU WATCHING MARCH MADNESS AT ALL? [Laughing] I might get in a lot of trouble in Kansas. I don't follow it a lot. I could tell you a lot more about the Dallas Cowboys or Texas Rangers.

Love Garden intentionally keeps a large selection of bargain albums in store. Though they bear a smaller profit margin than the more upscale inventory, the store wants to foster musical interest across all tax brackets. 3. Two cats, Sam and Mickey Roy, grace the floor of the shop, greeting customers.In the 22-year history of the store, there have been a total of seven fuzzy companions. 4. Talib Kweli provides the lone autograph gracing the walls of the new storefront. The old location had an entire wall of signatures. 5. The walls of Love Garden are adorned with the works of various local artists Though the art for sale is rotated, certain pieces are there to stay, being either contributions or because the management thought they were just too good to let go. 6. Love Garden holds live shows in its store every once in a while, but makes a conscious effort to distinguish itself from a venue. It does this by pitching the shows as events, consistently coinciding with album release parties, art shows, fundraisers and other events. 7. The current location was once a pawnshop. In the back of the store, there is even a hatch, which was allegedly used to test-fire weapons into the ground. 8. Also in the back of the store is an old manual elevator, showing the age of the building and connecting the basement and attic to the main floor. 9. The landlord of the current location actually "wooed" Love Garden to the location, being considerably more "community-oriented" than the previous landlord. 10. The giant neon Johnny Cash sign hanging over the entryway came from a junk shop in Topeka. It was discovered by a third party who called the store, knowing it would be perfect, and suggested it to the business. CAVE CAVE NO COVER BEFORE 10PM EVER!

Founded to populate new territory with anti-slavery advocates, Lawrence experienced more than its share of growing pains becoming the town it is today. Horse-drawn carriages, a half dozen wars, the Depression, protests and prohibition are but a few memories of the city, and Mass Street saw it all. Though it may be difficult for students to imagine these things happening on the same plots of land that they eat, drink, shop and dance on, there are businesses in Lawrence operating today that are living relics of those times. THE ELDRIDGE HOTEL The Free-State Hotel was built in 1856 at the cost of $20,000. The hotel had 50 rooms, along with stables and outhouses specifically purposed to accommodate emigrants to the free state, quickly gaining a reputation as a symbol for abolitionist sentiments. Not long after its inception, the hotel, along with the abolitionist publications the Herald of Freedom and the Kansas Free-State drew the ire of the Douglas County grand jury, Sheriff Samuel Jones and an angry mob determined to shut them all down by force. After surviving cannon blasts and detonated kegs of gunpowder, the actual newspaper from the recently-destroyed anti-slavery publications was used as kindling to burn the hotel down. Later that same year, the hotel would rise again, one story taller under the ownership of the Eldridge family that occupied the building during its destruction. It was less than a decade, though, before tensions surrounding slavery would bring the symbol of freedom to its knees once again with Quantrill's raid in 1863. Though the hotel had been declared a sanctuary by the Provost Marshal of Kansas, and Quantrill himself had even declared that the guests should not be harmed, disgruntled border skirmishers killed all but one guest, who survived by playing dead. Despite the city's best efforts, Lawrence only raised enough funds to rebuild one floor and had to sell the icon. Though it rose again to three stories, the hotel eventually floundered and was left in disrepair. The year 1925 marked the development of the motif the hotel is known for today. Though the surge of motels in the 1960s would close it again, it would eventually be reopened in 1985 with $3 million in donations to stand at five stories tall — one for each time it shut down. WEAVER'S DEPARTMENT STORE In 1857, Lathrop Bullene moved to Lawrence and started a department store with his stepbrother. Though they would eventually split and become competitors, Bullene stayed in the business of selling groceries, glass, shovels and tailoring services as he moved to several locations up and down Mass Street. The store even survived Quantrill's raid in 1863, with whispers abound that Bullene's wife had fed the raiders in turn for protection. Despite this stroke of luck, the department store would continue a long Lawrence tradition of burning to the ground only a decade later. In 1883, Bullene hired Arthur D. Weaver, and within two short years, Weaver had both married into the family and inherited the store in the wake of Bullene's newly developed bronchial condition. Weaver's son would eventually inherit the business in 1915, and in 1929 buy out their largest competitors, the Innes Store, and acquire the location they occupy today. Exploring other ventures, Weaver gradually transferred the store to Larry S. Flannery, whose son Joseph operates the store today. LIBERTY HALL When the herald of Freedom was burned down in 1856, a new building would rise in its place. At its base a butchery, the two-story building held up a small theater that would come to be known as "Liberty Hall," a nod to Abraham Lincoln's referral to Lawrence as the "cradle of Liberty." That name would, however, be short-lived as the building was sold in 1882 to J.D. Bowersock, becoming his namesake opera house. In keeping with the tumultuous times and fire-prone architecture, the Bowersock Opera House burnt down in 1911, taking with it the newspaper that would become the Lawrence Journal-World. Rebuilt in 1912 as "fire proof," the renovated venue gradually incorporated movies throughout the 1920s until Bowerson's death in 1923, when it became the Dickinson Theater. By the time it became the Jayhawker Theater in 1940, it showed mostly movies. Following the Jayhawker's closure in 1956, the venue would be reopened as several night clubs and theaters throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's until it was eventually purchased and restored in 1986 as Liberty Hall once again by David and Susan Millstein and Rob Fitzgerald. The venue now shows independent movies as well as live shows in its two theaters. THE LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD The Lawrence Journal World's location represents a long and storied history of newspapers in Lawrence. Though officially created in 1911, the Journal World as it is known today exists as a consolidation of the Lawrence Journal and the Lawrence World. Created in 1892, the Lawrence World was owned by Wilford Collins Simons who worked as a newspaper editor in Lawrence from 1891 until his death in 1952. Though Simons acquired the Journal in 1905, it was not until the 1911 fire that also destroyed the Bowersock opera house that the two papers were merged. 19 03 29 12 "This sort of energy is good for Lawrence, and it is a more cohesive night for everybody."

CHASE A STORM In pursuit of one of nature's most powerful forces. //KELSEA ECKENROTH Last year, Adam Smith, a senior majoring in atmospheric science, went on four storm chases. Smith goes on a storm chase about every other week from March through May with a group of about eight students and a professor from KU. Our day starts at the mock lab in Lindley Hall. The group decides where to storm chase that day and we leave for our destination around 8 a.m. We drive and adjust where we go based on the weather activity. Car windshields have cracked before, so we take a car that belongs to PETER BURNS CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Adam Smith The scariest storm I experienced was in Iowa last April. We drove about 95 mph down an Iowa state highway trying to catch up to the storm. When we came up on a hill, there was a tornado on the ground. It was too far south and we couldn't get to it, so we drove along side it. I always hope to see a tornado, but it rarely happens. When I do witness a tornado, the feeling is incredible because I'm witnessing a natural monster. We ended up camping in a field in a smaller city because we heard on the local radio that there was another storm coming. The storm started rotating and putting down a funnel. It was very weak, but we felt it lift up our jackets and felt the rush of air. It was scary because we knew what we were doing,but the local radio didn't know the storm was actually in the city. The storm never actually dropped a tornado, but it was ready to. The classroom is great for learning about storms, but until you are out there watching what is happening,it's hard to get a sense of what really goes on. The Iowa storm right before a funnel cloud developed PHOTO BY ADAM SMITH this: PLAY These tasty treats go much further than plain vanilla and sprinkles. //RACHEL CHF CUSTOM CUPCAKES billy vanily Tap That www.billyvanilycupcakes.com Billy Vanilly cupcakes topped with Oreos and peanut butter cups. PHOTO BY AYAKO SAWAGUCHI Amy Sanders, senior from Overland Park, planned to have friends over for drinks and cake before going out bar hopping for her 21st birthday. But when she realized over 20 people were coming, she thought cupcakes would be better than cutting a cake into 20 super-thin slices. So she ordered two dozen cupcakes of different sizes, flavors and designs. "It put the party off to a great, happy start." Sanders says. Like Sanders, you can custom design fun cupcakes and enjoy these fluffy, sweet cakes. There are two places to get cupcakes custom designed in Lawrence; Cupcake Construction Company (727 Massachusetts St.) and Billy Vanilly Cupcakes (914 Massachusetts St.). At Cupcake Construction Company, you can choose four aspects of the design and flavor of the cupcake, and the staff will assemble the cupcakes for you. First, you choose the foundation, which is the cake flavor, and second, you choose the interior, which is the filling. Third, you choose the topping, which includes mini Oreos or strawberry drizzle. Lastly, you choose the icing, which includes coffee, chai, and mint flavors. Each custom-designed cupcake costs $2.75, and mini cupcakes cost a dollar each. At Billy Vanilly, there are freshly-baked pre-made cupcakes available, but customers can still customize and decorate them by adding edible decorations to the cupcakes, such as flowers, hearts, graduation caps or animals. Unlike Cupcake Construction Company, you pre-order at least two days in advance to get cupcakes customized. Gluten-free flavors are available on Fridays, sugar-free flavors are available on Saturdays, and fat-free "skinny cakes" are available on Sundays. Cupcakes come in three sizes: Big kid (jumbo) for $3.50 each, baby (standard) for $2.50 each, and preemie (mini) for a dollar each. Lucy Brown, a senior from Seattle, likes to give custom-designed cupcakes as gift for her friends, whether it's a single cupcake for a sad friend or a box of cupcakes for a special occasion. She says going out for custom-designed cupcakes always puts her in good mood. "They are soft and sweet," Brown says. "It's like few bites of heaven." 2103 2912 "This sort of energy is good for Lawrence, and it is a more cohesive night for everybody" Murphy said.

Gilchrist, a freshman from Wichita, says she primarily drinks unsweetened soymilk. Soymilk is a bit sweeter than cow's milk and has a slight beany aftertaste. Gilchrist says sweetened soymilk is also good, but may be too sweet for cooking. COCONUT. This is not just the juice from the center of the coconut, but from coconut meat as well as the juice. Because of this it's thicker and sweeter than soymilk. I would not put this in my mac and cheese, or in my cup for that matter. However, it makes a sweet milk mustache. RICE: Rice milk is thinner than other milks, but comes the closet of all to the taste and smell of dairy milk. It is mildly sweetened and would be great in cooking or on a bowl of cereal. I liked the oat taste so much I was ready to cast off dairy milk for good, until I saw the percentage of carbohydrates: Rice milk has 8 percent carbohydrates compared to the 4 percent in whole organic dairy milk. ALMOND: Mica Mendez says unsweetened almond milk has a bitter aftertaste, like drinking liquid almonds. Mendez, a sophomore from Lawrence, says the bitterness is less noticeable in cooking. Sweetened almond milk is very similar in taste and texture to coconut milk. Mendez describes it as melted ice cream.

Taken straight, none of the alternatives have the buttery sweet taste of dairy milk. dreams can come true. now open until 3am.

Drink this: Lassi A traditional drink of India. //SARA SNEATH SWEET LASSI INGREDIENTS: 2 CUPS CURD 1 TABLESPOON SUGAR 2 DROPS VANILLA EXTRACT People in India drink lassi to cool down from the Indian heat after long hours of work, Bhargavi Krishnan Arvind says. There are two types of lassi, she says, one sweet and one salty. When I first heard lassi was made from yogurt or curd, I thought it might have a smoothie-like consistency. It is actually more akin to frothy milk. The drink is filling and has an almost carbonated taste from the live and active milk culture, an ingredient in the curd. Arvind, a graduate student from Chennai, India, says the salty version is more diluted than the sweet version and is often drunk after a heavy lunch. The northwest Indian state of Punjab is famous for its lassi, Greesha Umapathi Santosh says. Santosh, a graduate student from Bangalore, India, gave me a Punjab recipe for sweet lassi. You can buy the curd at the Mediterranean Market, at Bob Billings Parkway and Kasold Drive, or you can make it from scratch. At the Mediterranean Market, two cups cost $2 and saved me the eight to 12 hours Santosh says it takes to make homemade curd. Check the ingredients for pectin and gelatin when buying curd at the store, she says. These ingredients will not give you the authentic lassi taste. The Dana brand sold at the Mediterranean Market does not contain either of them. For sweet lassi, add the curd, sugar, cardamom and 2 drops of vanilla extract to a large bowl. You can also use powdered sugar or honey as a sugar alternative. Next, whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy. Finally, pour the mixture into a cup with a half cup of crushed ice. You can also find lassi at India Palace, 129 E. 10th St., and Curry in a Hurry, 1111 Massachusetts St. PHOTO BY SARA SNEATH 03 29 12 22 . . . ?

I felt like I had to be there for him, because all we had was each other. SPEAK M GROWING TOGETHER HOW MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BROTHER WENT FROM JUST SIBLINGS, TO BEST FRIENDS // BRITTNEY HAYNES CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Brittney Haynes with her younger brother Brad. I was 17, a senior in high school, and my brother Brad was 15. While I went out with friends and was involved in clubs and activities at school, Brad preferred to listen to music in his room or go hunting with his dog. Wed always gotten along, but never really had a relationship.Starting that September though, things began to change. When my parents asked to have a family meeting, I knew what was coming. To me, it was obvious things hadn't been going well between them. A few months earlier they'd started fighting about everything money, intimacy, bills, you name it. Every fight took place in the living room, which happened to be right outside my bedroom door. So what my dad said next came as no surprise to me. "Here's the deal guys. We're getting a divorce." I looked at my younger brother, who was sitting across the room. His face dropped in complete confusion. Brad rode with me to school every day since we lived seven miles out of town, I went off to college the following fall, and we would talk periodically on the phone or on Facebook. When I came home for the summer, we both returned to our summer jobs of lifeguarding at our hometown pool. We were out on rotation at the same time, so we also had our breaks together. That summer I felt that my brother began to see me as more of a friend than just his older sister. We went to Warped Tour together, made frequent Sonic and ice cream runs and went to the movies. He asked me when was the right time to ask a girl out and talked to me about how I knew I was in love. He asked my opinion on classes he wanted to take his junior year and even started discussing the possibility of majoring in elementary school education in college We began to discover the things we had in common:a love for alternative rock sweet potato fries and children. After that summer, I finally began to feel a connection to my brother and I found leaving home to go back up to school a little harder than the year before. During my second year of college, my mother moved closer to her job in Sedgwick, and my brother moved with her. 50 miles away from my hometown of Sterling. Brad switched high schools for his senior year. He was excited to move to Sedgwick and get a fresh start. Brad had been playing football since he was in the fifth grade. He wasn't getting much playing time, so he really looked forward to football season at a new high school. He fit right in. He had friends over at the house constantly and he went from getting Cs and Ds, to As and Bs. I began to get phone calls from him after every football game to tell me how his team did. I could tell how happy he was just from hearing how optimistic he sounded. On his 18th birthday, he had his opening game, which they won. I was able to go home for his senior night game later in the season, and it was one of the best football games I've ever been to. Brad played the entire game and had several key tackles and blocks. After the game, I ran onto the field to see him. He wrapped me up in a hug as I told him how proud of him I was. My brother had never been up to visit me at college by himself so this past November, he came up and spent a weekend with me. It was one of the best weekends we've had together. We went ice-skating, hung out at my boyfriend's fraternity, and went out together that night. He got to experience college life as I experience it. Towards the end of winter break as I was shopping with a family friend, I got a call from my mom. "You got a second?" she asked "Well, your brother just signed with the Army." "Yeah, sure." I replied. I felt my heart drop in my chest. "What?" "He decided to do the Army Reserves. He had been talking to a recruit about it for awhile, and after discussing it with your dad and me, he decided to do it." A million things were running through my head. "What is the Army Reserves? Is he going to be deployed? Why did he decide to do this instead of school? Is he not going to college anymore?" I asked my mom every question I could think of, and although I tried to not cry, I felt the tears start to fall. She explained to me what the Army Reserves is. Brad will go to boot camp and then training for whatever he wants his specialty to be. He'll be gone for a year and a half before he's able to attend college. The Army Reserve will pay for his college as long as he does his monthly commitment, which is one weekend a month, the entire time he's in school. After I understood things a little better, I asked my mom to hand the phone to my brother. "You didn't think to talk to me before you made a decision like this?" I asked. "Sis, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but this is my decision. And this way, I'll get to go to KU, just like you." I slowly began to realize that my brother was a man. He wasn't my little brother sitting in my front seat on the way to high school. He didn't need my advice. Hed grown up and was able to make decisions for himself, and this was obviously what he thought was the best choice. "You know I love you, right?" I said. "I know that." "Then know that I'll stand by you and support you no matter what. This is the right decision for you." After Brad graduates in May, he'll leave for boot camp in September. He also recently found out that after his training, he'll be deployed to Afghanistan for two years. I won't get to spend the summer with him because I'll be abroad for an internship. I'm upset that I won't get to spend the summer with him, and I'll be the first to admit I'm terrified at the thought of him being deployed and in Afghanistan. But despite that he won't be just be a phone call away anymore, I couldn't be prouder of him and the man that he's become. 23 03 29 12 BERS "This sort of energy is good for Lawrence, and it is a more cohesive night for everybody."

Something had caught their attention. Sending ripples into the standing water from earlier rain was a New Orleans street band, and for those four Kansas students, the bright lights of Bourbon Street could wait another minute. They wanted to watch the nine New Orleans locals blast their brass instruments. These Kansas students had a particular interest in the street band on New Orleans' most eccentric street because the students themselves are in the KU Pep Band. "Its pretty sick, they play entirely different from the way that we play," said Sarah Rucker, a junior from Lawrence. "And it's really cool to see something that different. It sounds great. I love it." As the University students applauded the band, Rucker did not hesitate to explain just how different this street band is from the one that livens Allen Fieldhouse at every Kansas home game. "When we play, it's all about tone, and we play much quieter than they do." Rucker said. "For them it's pretty much about energy it seems like, and volume is incredible. It's a street band; it's completely different." And this unique energy is exactly what downtown New Orleans adds to the Final Four.

Aides and allies long have insisted that there's a likable, personable, even fun Romney underneath the persistent image of a buttoned-down, multimillionaire businessman that Republican voters got to know during his failed bid for the nomination in 2008. This time, the former Massachusetts governor has sought to shake the rap, even among some supporters, that he's awkward, boring and overly scripted. POLITICS 1974 ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney talks with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in Burbank, Calif., Tuesday. Romney joked that he'd pick Leno rival David Letterman as his vice president, talked at length about health policy and said he'd be happy to have a rival of his own, Rick Santorum, serve in a Romney administration. Romney shows his more personable side ASSOCIATED PRESS BURBANK, Calif. — Mitt Romney doesn't always wear suits these days, and his hair isn't always so perfectly coiled. He shows up at NASCAR events and tweets pictures of himself eating Subway sandwiches. His wife, Ann, gushes in a new online video about the start of their four-decade old "love story." The Republican presidential front-runner's latest efforts to show his more personal — critics would say more human — side were on display Tuesday as he sat down with a late-night talk show host for the first time since 2010. "I can do you a favor with this," Romney said on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," as the host pressed him about his list of potential running mates. "I'll choose David Letterman." Expect more attempts at levity in the coming weeks as the likely GOP nominee shifts toward the general election and starts to introduce himself in earnest to voters who don't know him nearly as well as the Republican primary electorate does. they publicly insist they are still focused on the primary race even though their boss is all but certain to clinch the nomination. But aides also are mindful that when he does get the 1,144 convention delegates needed to secure the party nod, the general electorate will start to pay closer attention and some voters will take their first serious look at Romney. The campaign is looking for ways to attract independent voters who will be critical in the campaign against President Barack Obama. Just 38 percent of independents said they had considerable interest in the primary fight, according to a February AP-GRK poll. The rest had only a passing interest or no interest at all. That's far lower than partisans - 73 percent of Republicans said they had a great deal or quite a bit of interest in the election. Ann Romney, whom the candidate introduces as "my sweetheart" at nearly every campaign stop, is likely to play a big role in introducing Romney to a wider audience; aides say her mere presence softens his sometimes rough edges. That's why she been a near constant presence on the campaign trail, taking the microphone to tell the story of how they fell in love and how he'd call while away on business trips to tell her that raising their children was more important than his job. So, the campaign is discussing possible ways to show Americans a more complete picture of Romney, from giving longer TV interviews with his five sons and 16 grandkids by his side, to having his wife appear on daytime talk or cooking shows.

STUDENT SENATE -Rachel Salyer Committees pass bill to amend budget code Student Senate committees passed a bill to substantially amend the Senate's budget code on March 27. Discussion on the bill lasted more than two hours in the finance and rights committees. Josh Dean, the finance committee chair and author of the bill, said that the intent of the changes — and the hard part of the bill — was to clarify the code while preserving the intent of the rules and regulations regarding funding for student organizations. The bill abolished a rule against funding meetings and newsletters and clarified that Senate will fund up to $1,000 plus 50 percent of costs of an organization's event, and added implied definitions to the code. Members of the finance committee attempted to generate a bill that would allow Senate funding for events that are open to all students, bypassing a regulation that requires organizations requesting funding to be open to all students. The bill was a reaction to Senates denial of funding to the Homecoming Steering Committee because it was not inclusive to all students. After heated debate, the bill didn't pass. The bill to amend the budget code will go to full Senate for official approval on April 4. -- Vikaas Shanker THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP CONCERT MARCH 30, 2012 7:30 PM LIED CENTER OF KANSAS Featuring the Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra and Choirs KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little narrating Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" CONCERT FREE FOR ALL KU AND LAWRENCE-AREA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH VALID ID!

ASSOCIATED PRESS The Investigative Committee said it had charged four officers in the Siberian city of Novokuznetsk in the torture death of a detainee. It also leveled new accusations against a police officer in the Volga River city of Kazan who is already in custody on charges of torturing a man to death. Police officers in Russia have faced public scrutiny for torturing detainees. Victims and human rights activists say Russian police routinely use torture to extract false confessions from those they have arbitrarily rounded up. They say police reforms undertaken by President Dmitry Medvedev have failed to stop or even contain police crimes and achieved little beyond changing the force's name. Kazan resident Sergei Nazarov died earlier this month of injuries suffered when police officers allegedly sodomized him with a champagne bottle. His case has caused outrage across Russia and drawn calls for an urgent overhaul of a force long accused of corruption and brutality. The four officers charged in Novokuznetsk were accused of causing a detainee's death by asphyxiation by putting a gas mask on him and cutting off the access to air — a torture technique popular among Russian police, according to rights groups. Police regulations still require officers to report a certain quota of solved crimes, a practice that encourages police to make arbitrary arrests and extract false confessions to make their numbers. Police from across Russia also learned cruel interrogation practices during tours of duty in Chechnya and other restive provinces in Russia's Caucasus, contributing to the culture of brutality. Activists have urged the Kremlin to change regulations that encourage police brutality, oust Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev, conduct a thorough cleansing of the police force and set up a separate independent body that would investigate police crimes. Alexei Navalny, a popular anti-corruption blogger and a key organizer of massive opposition protests in Moscow, said the government should dismiss all Kazan policemen and recruit new ones as a model of how to conduct a future nationwide reform of the police. Indian police detains hundreds of self-immolating Tibetans ASIA NEW DELHI — The Tibetan who burned himself alive on the eve of a visit by China's president left a letter that urged the world to stand up for his homeland, activists said, while Indian authorities detained more Tibetans on Thursday in the Indian capital. Police have taken hundreds of Tibetans into custody since Monday's selfimmolation by Jamplhel Yeshi, 27, and have effectively closed off New Delhi's Tibetan neighborhoods, fearing embarrassing protests during the visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao. The Tibetans are expected to be released after Hu leaves New Delhi on Friday. He is in the city for the BRICS summit with the leaders of India, Russia, Brazil and South Africa. "At a time when we are making our final move toward our goal. If you have money, it is the time to spend it. If you are educated it is the time to produce results. If you have control over your life, I think the day has come to sacrifice your life," wrote Yesi, who died of his burns Wednesday. The letter was released by activists and translated on the website Burning Tibet. Activists said he wrote the letter about 10 days ago, and left it in his apartment where friends found it after the self-immolation. The letter's authenticity could not be independently confirmed. "The fact that Tibetan people are setting themselves on fire in this 21st century is to let the world know about their suffering," the letter stated. "People of the world, stand up for Tibet." 10 Hundreds of police are manning barricades along roads throughout the city, ASSOCIATED PRESS About 30 Tibetans have set themselves on fire to show their disapproval of China's power in their region. About 30 self-immolations have occurred over the past year in ethnic Tibetan areas of China in protest of Beijing's heavy-handed rule in the region. some carrying blankets soaked in water to quickly smother the flames if anyone else sets themselves alight. MIDDLE EAST Sunni rulers snub Iraq at Arab summit BAGHDAD — Sunni Muslim rulers largely shunned an Arab League summit hosted by Shite-led Iraq on Thursday, illustrating how powerfully the sectarian split and the rivalry with Iran define Middle Eastern politics in the era of the Arab Spring. The crisis in Syria is the epicenter of those divisions. The one-day summit closed with a joint call on Syrian President Bashar Assad to stop his bloody crackdown on an uprising seeking his ouster. But the final statement barely papered over the differences among the Arab nations over how to deal with the longest-running regional revolt. "What disturbs the breeze of our Arab Spring and fills our hearts with sadness is the scenes of slaughter and torture committed by the Syrian regime against our brothers and sisters in Syria," said Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, leader of Libya's National Transitional Council. In a snub to Iraq, only 10 heads of state from the Arab League's 22 members attended, with the rest sending lower-level officials. Especially notable were the absences of the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and most other Gulf countries, as well Morocco and Jordan — all of them headed by Sunni monarchs who deeply distrust the close ties between Baghdad's Shiite-dominated government and their top regional rival, Iran. The Gulf countries also see Iraq as too soft on Syria. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have talked of armed Syria's opposition, apparently eager to bring the fall of Assad and break the Sunni-majority country out of its alliance with Iran. Speaking to the gathering, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki urged restraint, saying Baghdad opposes any military intervention and citing his country's years of turmoil as an example of what happens when outside forces get involved in national struggles. U.S. forces left Iraq just over 100 days ago after nearly nine years of war and occupation. "Iraq is afraid of the attempts to militarize the Arab uprisings, because this will deviate them from the right course and push toward the wrong position," al-Maliki said. "Dialogue between the government and the opposition is the right option to solve the crisis." Iraq's hosting of the annual summit for the first time since 1990 was touted by Baghdad officials as a victory in their efforts to show the country is moving toward stability after years of sectarian fighting that almost tipped the nation into civil war. Thousands of security forces cleared the streets and locked down the capital in one of the quietest weeks in years, although officials said two Katyusha rockets hit near the fortified Green Zone where the summit was held just as diplomats convened. No casualties were reported. The summit was the first since the wave of Arab Spring uprisings began ASSOCIATED PRESS THE BEST OF UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO An Arab League summit in Iraq Thursday. Only 10 of the 22 members attended to oppose Iraq. The new leaders of Egypt and Yemen — the other two countries whose rulers fell last year — did not attend, a reflection of their continuing domestic troubles. sweeping the region more than a year ago, targeting its long-ruling strongmen. The 2011 summit was canceled because of the turmoil. There were two new faces at Thursday's collection of heads of state. Libya's Abdul-Jaili, who holds nominal power after the ouster and killing of Moammar Gadhafi, and Tunisia President Moncef Marouzi, a former human rights activist who was elevated after the fall of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The session was dominated by the uprising in Syria, where the U.N. says more than 9,000 people have been killed in the regime's yearlong crackdown on its political opponents. The regime has sent tanks and troops into Syrian cities and towns, saying the country was under attack from the armed groups. CENTRAL AMERICA Fourteen inmates confirmed dead after riot prison fire TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduran authorities say at least 14 people have died at a prison after armed inmates started a fire during a riot Thursday. San Pedro Sula police commissioner Yair Maa says there are at least 14 dead, but the riot has been brought under control. Inmates began fighting among themselves and tossed the severed head of one prisoner over the walls of the jail as they held firefighters at bay. The grisly scene at the prison in the rough northern city of San Pedro Sula came 1/2 months after Honduras' overcrowded prisons were hit by the worst prison fire in a century, a Feb. 14 blaze at the Comayagua farm prison that killed 361 inmates.

Lottery reaches record amount ASSOCIATED PRESS PROVIDENCE, R.I. — People queuing up for Mega Millions tickets aren't the only ones salvating over the record $540 million jackpot that could be won Friday — some state governments struggling through lean times know a hometown winner would bring a tax bonanza. Taxes on a lump-sum payment option to a single winner could mean tens of millions of dollars of badly needed revenue that could go to restore entire social service programs on the chopping block, pay for hundreds of low-income housing units, forestall new taxes or hire more state troopers. So many tickets have been sold that the jackpot climbed Thursday to the largest in history, according to officials in Rhode Island, one of 42 states where Mega Millions is played. If a lone winner took the lump-sum payout on the jackpots current amount, it would be an estimated $389.8 million. "I'd love it if a Rhode Islander wins," said Rep. Helio Melo, the chairman of the House's Finance Committee. In Rhode Island, when the tax man comes calling for his 5.99 percent, that would mean an estimated $23.3 million, forked over in a single payment. With it, the state could pay for most of a $25 million bond for affordable housing that voters may be asked to approve this fall. It could also help Rhode Island reach its goal for aid to school districts for the first aid. The state, which has a $7.9 billion budget, is $22 million short. A big lottery windfall wouldn't solve the state's fiscal woes, but it could help chip away at the debt, pay for one-time expenses or delay budget cuts or tax increases — including on expensive clothing, pet States set their own tax rates on lottery winnings. New York, for instance, charges 8.82 percent, while several, including California, charge none. grooming, car washes and taxi fares -- at least for a year, Mello said. Ohio's share of the lump-sum payout would be $23 million, hardly pocket change but still a fraction of the state's $56 billion two-year budget. "We're not holding our breath waiting for a tax windfall for the state, but we will always root for Ohio and Ohioans and hope lottery luck comes to a Buckeye," said Joe Testa, the state's tax commissioner.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: J equals Y The South African-born director, whose filmmaking inspiration ranges from Michael Jackson music videos to Steven Spielberg, has amped up the action in his films since he debuted with "Darkness Falls" in 2003. One thing is clear — he tries to adapt and change on the set. Filmmaker uses 2011 movie for inspiration FILM FRESNO, Calif. A Los Angeles community destroyed by aliens and the ravaged remains of Mt. Olympus have more in common than you think. Director Jonathan Liebesman took what he learned while filming the 2011 release "Battle Los Angeles" to make his latest action-heavy feature, "Wrath of the Titans." "I definitely learned a lot about the hand-held style of filmmaking," says Liebesman. "I also learned a lot about how to integrate CGI characters into the hand-held frame. If you want visual effects to work, they have to interact with what's in the frame. You have to have the actors hit by real things." 23 In "Battle Los Angeles," creepy looking creatures from another world created massive destruction in California. The action moves to Greece and the characters are mythological in origin for "Wrath," but the destruction is just as grand as the heroic Perseus (Sam Worthington) tries to stop the release of the Titans. "That was a major lesson." MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE From left, Sam Worthington, director Jonathan Liebesman and Liam Neeson on set during the production "Wrath of the Titans." Such willingness to adapt was important because the director discovered there was both a freedom and restraint to directing the sequel to "Clash of the Titans." He knew he had the entire Greek mythology catalog he could use, but he was afraid to go too far off the path from the original film because the story has continued to have a following since the original opened in 1981. 4 7 7 5 2 3 9 6 8 3 7 5 8 3 5 4 2 1 5 3 8 3 2 9 SUDOKU Difficulty Level ★★★★ 3/30 Katie Couric is returning to morning TV, for a week anyway.

Couric made her name on "Today," where she began as a national correspondent in 1989. She soon became the permanent co-anchor in 1991 when Deborah Norville didn't return to the show. In 2006, she left "Today" to become the anchor of the "CBS Evening News," where she stayed for nearly five years. MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Finale lets down 'The Killing' fans TV SERIES In its first season, AMC's offbeat crime series, "The Killing," started with a really cool idea and then blew it big time. Now, as Season 2 is about to unfold, the question is: Can this show win back the skeptics who feel burned by it? MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE CITY OF BOSTON Presenting itself last spring as a fresh alternative to broadcast television's formulaic crime-of-the-week shows, "The Killing" took on a single case — the murder of Seattle teen Rosie Larsen — and examined it in-depth, from various angles, over 13 moody episodes. It instantly seized our attention. Then came a disappointing bait-and-switch finale. Instead of providing a resolution, executive producer Veena Sud and her writers not only kept the case open, they tossed in a couple of wild, out-ofnowhere twists right at the end. For the show's ever-patient devotees who expected some closure, it was a slap in the face — a senseless act of disrespect and betrayal. But is that what fans really want to hear? That they've spent 13 hours following a complex, MCCI ΔTCHY TRIRUNF Actors Joel Kinmanan and Mireille Enos pose for a photo for the new AMC television series. So the haters went on a rampage. Critics and viewers tore into Sud, many of them vowing to dump the show for good. All the clamor put AMC executives in the awkward position of having to apologize without overtly admitting they did anything wrong. At a news conference with TV critics last year, network programming chief Joel Stillerman said, "If we had to do anything differently ... we would have taken a different approach with respect to managing the expectations..." Now, as 13 new episodes come down the pipeline, Sud and AMC are doing their best to head off those expectations, telling anyone who's still listening that - spoiler alert! - Rosie Larsen's killer will, indeed, be revealed at the conclusion of Season 2. sprawling mystery, just to be told that they're only halfway there? The ratings will provide our answers in coming weeks, but first a quick review: When Season 1 ended, stoic homicide detective Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) believed the Larsen case was solved. But suddenly, one phone call changed everything: The prime suspect, mayor candidate Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) apparently might be innocent, and Linden's partner, Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) might be corrupt. The good news is that Sunday's two-hour opener answers several key questions in relatively rapid fashion and in ways that don't seem totally unreasonable. The bad news is that it also puts Sarah back at Square One, and therein lies the problem. Even before critics vented their spleens in righteous outrage over last year's finale, the show had developed a limp. In their effort to lather the Larsen case over a full season, the writers found themselves backed into narrative corners with too much time to fill. So they frantically threw out red-herrings and eye-rolling plot contrivances like "24" used to do. Red Lyon Tavern CATCHING UP 'Thrones' begins season premier Meanwhile, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) — among many vying for the throne — smothered her beloved Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa). She places Drogo on a funeral pyre, along with her precious eggs, enters the roaring fire, and emerges with three new pets — her baby dragons. Finally this: Ion Snow (Kit Harington), Stark's illegitimate son, has headed out with the "Night's Watch" north of the "Wall" — that towering edifice that keeps the ghostly "Others" out of Westeros. Who knows what they will find? MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE The cartoonishly cruel sociopath boy king Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) has taken the Iron Throne after murdering Eddard Stark (Sean Bean), which gives him effective — if not actual — control over the seven kingdoms of Westeros. WHAT SUNDAY'S ABOUT A great comet with a tail the color of blood stretches a quarter of the way across the sky of Westeros. An omen ... but of what? Winter is finally coming, too, and winters — like the summer just ending — last years. On the eve of this monumental natural cycle, civil war is tearing Westeros apart, with no fewer than three would-be kings vying for the Iron Throne, including Joffrey's brothers Stannis (Stephen Dillane) and Renly (Gethin Anthony). Joffrey's uncle Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) arrives at the kingdom, King's Landing; where he finds (what else?) trouble and court intrigue. 944 Massachusetts Street His evil sister, Cersei (Lena Headey), is trying to keep her idiot son, Joffrey, in check but also wants to find her twin brother (and lover), Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), now in the hands of Robb Stark (Richard Madden), who wants to use him as bait to who has beloved sisters back. One is with the evil Joffrey, The other, Arya (Maisie Williams) has gone missing. But where? This season is based on "A Clash of Kings", the second volume of George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy novel series, "A Song of Fire and Ice." MY SAY Even for those who have read the books — and "Fire/ice" fans are many — here's a sage word of counsel. Go back and watch the last two episodes of the first season. You'll be glad you did. "Thrones" may be a faithful adaptation of the Martin series, but it's foremost a self-contained television series bound by its own logic, plot and cast of characters. SERIES Sunday's second-season premiere sounds dense and impenetrable, but (trust me) it's not — if you come prepared.

Court must set limits for Constitution GOVERNMENT this week the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments over the constitutionality of President Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (known as "ObamaCare"). From a policy perspective, the decision is certainly important because of its impact on healthcare, the economy, and our national debt. It will not shock any of you to learn that I think ObamaCare is one of the most egregious pieces of legislation in recent history. But the Supreme Court's decision is about something even more important than healthcare policy that can be summed up in one simple question. If ObamaCare is constitutional, then what is it? At issue is ObamaCare's individual mandate, which requires every American to have health insurance by 2014 or pay a hefty fine to the federal government. The Administration is primarily relying on Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution (known as the interstate commerce clause), which gives the federal government the power to regulate commerce "among the several States." The rationale is that since healthcare spending constitutes roughly 1/6 of our economy and since uninsured people have an effect on healthcare the mandate is justified under the interstate commerce power. The federal individual mandate is a great distance from the system of government envisioned by our Founding Fathers. The Framers of our Constitution created a system of dual sovereignty where the state and federal governments share power. James Madison explained in Federalist 45 that the powers delegated to the federal government are "few and defined" while the powers reserved for state governments are "numerous and indefinite." The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights, mandates that "[t]he powers not By Christian Corrigan ccorrigan@kansan.com delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This was purposely done in order to address concerns that the new federal government would become too powerful and erode state sovereignty. The commerce clause was included in the Constitution to address a central inadequacy of the Articles of Confederation, which was the lack of authority to prevent states from enacting laws that were harmful to interstate commerce. But over time as the economy became more complex and the size and scope of the federal government increased, the scope of the commerce clause increased as well. It wasn't until the 1990s that the Supreme Court began to recognize modern limits on the commerce power. That is the real issue with the individual mandate—limits. The most important question supporters of ObamaCare have yet to answer is the so-called broccoli question. That is: If we accept that the individual mandate is constitutional because of its effect on healthcare and thus interstate commerce, then what is to stop the federal government from requiring everyone to eat three servings of vegetables every day or pay a fine? billions of dollars every year. The link to interstate commerce is just as strong as it is with the individual mandate, yet no one reasonably believes the government should be allowed to fine us for not eating correctly. At least not yet. It might sound ridiculous at first, but think about it. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Stanford Hospital estimates that obesity-related conditions cost over $150 billion and cause 300,000 premature deaths annually. Forcing people to eat right could save countless lives and hundreds of The point is that there is virtually no end to the federal government's power if it can force you to buy a product solely because you reside in the United States. This is extremely troubling for a federal government that was meant to only possess enumerated powers. We have already strayed from the Founders' intent and created an oversized, intrusive, and wasteful federal government. We cannot afford for it to get any worse. Even if you don't share my affinity for Federalism, the Constitution, or limited government, I bet some of you hate broccoli just as much as I do.

MOVIES 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS A hamburger made from ground beef containing what is derivively referred to as "pink slime," or what the meat industry calls "lean, finely textured beef," is ready for tasting Thursday, March 15 in Concord, N.H. Under a change announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, districts that get food through the government's school lunch program will be allowed to say no to ground beef containing the ammonia-treated filler and choose filler-free meat instead. 'Slime-y' beef patties worry U.S. food companies, schools Pink Slime. Sounds and looks like radioactive waste from a sci-fi movie but it's actually an ingredient in up to 70 percent of American ground beef. There has been much controversy about it in the news recently and rightly so, if you haven't seen pictures yet I recommend a quick Google search so you have a sense of what I am talking about here. By Gabby Pred gpred@kansan.com Alas, this product is something the Food and Drug Administration has categorized as GRAS (generally recognized What the beef industry calls "lean finely textured beef" has been coined "pink slime" by a critical public. So what exactly is it? The trimmings and connective tissue of cows that has been treated with ammonium hydroxide. The beef companies need to treat this "meat" with chemical to kill possible infection causing bacteria like E. Coli because according to Senator Robert Mentendez in a letter to the Secretary of the USDA, "The leftover scraps come from parts of the cow with high exposure to fecal matter". This same product, when left untreated by chemicals, is basically what's used in dog food. Are you craving a hamburger yet? as safe; comforting right?). Even though this product is legally deemed safe, major food and grocery chains like McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Costco, and most recently Safeway and Kroger have vowed to remove the product from their meals and shelves. This is good news to any Dillon's shoppers out there because Kroger Co. (the parent company of Dillon's) initially claimed it would not stop selling this product in its ground beef. These companies responded quickly to the fear of customer backlash but don't go running out to buy your ground beef just yet, the grocery stores will probably try to sell through their remaining stocks of slime-filled beef before halting its sale. Now how will you be able to tell what ground beef products contain these "trimmings"? You won't. It's not required to be labeled so what says "100% fresh ground beef" could actually mean "mostly fresh ground beef but also with connective tissue and ammonium." So my advice to avoid ingesting this questionable quasi-feed product is to stay away from ground beef unless it's from organic, local sources; but since a study has recently linked red meat to early mortality, I would just avoid it entirely. To me, the most disturbing part of this whole fiasco is that the USDA plans to purchase 7 million pounds of pink slime from its producer, Beef Products Inc. for use in the national school lunch program, to be served unknowingly to children across the country in public schools. The New York City School District just announced they will choose not to serve it in their schools and I recommend other school districts follow suit. In a society where we enjoy the luxury of endless options for what to eat, we should not settle for questionable and unhealthy food being delivered to us in the grocery stores or in children's school lunches.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Lawrence. my entire life, I am certainly one of the biggest, die-hard Jayhawk basketball fans you will meet. Also, growing up in Lawrence and having a parent that has worked at the University of Kansas, I have observed that KU athletics receives much more attention and monetary value than academics ever has. As I'm sure everyone has heard by now, classes will not be cancelled if we win the national championship. The chancellor stated, "our first mission as a university is to foster academic success and that is accomplished in part by setting high expectations for our students. A national title would be worthy of celebration, but we are confident those celebrations can take place without disrupting KU's academic mission." While I agree that academics should come first, I do not believe that KU has followed through on this "first mission" repeatedly, and I find it disappointing that in a time where not only the entire student body, but pretty much the entire town, has united and felt a common camaraderie to safely celebrate, the chancellor has chosen to now enforce this mission. When we hired Turner Gill, we paid him millions. Then, after just two seasons, we fired Turner Gill, and we paid him millions. I realize this money is through the athletics department, but this is a ridiculous sum of money that is being given to a collegiate football coach when the smallest fraction of that pay-out could have helped several students studying at the university. KU has also been talking about giving student athletes a stipend to assist them. While I realize student athletes spend an insane amount of time balancing training and keeping up grades, do you know how many non-student athletes there are that are working 40 hours a week while being enrolled full-time just to get by and they receive absolutely nothing? In addition, on game days, football or basketball parking is stripped not only from the paying students, but from the paying faculty as well. As many students don't care about sporting events, they aren't able to go up to campus and park anywhere near a library where they may need to study for an upcoming exam. Faculty can't park near their buildings to do academic work. In fact, on KU basketball game nights, faculty have had to let their students out of class early because students and faculty have been ticked for not moving their cars. We are paying for those parking passes, which are already over-sold, and yet, the University chooses to tell us that we must move our cars or pay a fine when we are in classes that we are also paying for. While some have successfully appealed these tickets, why should we have to even receive or appeal them in the first place when we are on campus learning? These few of many actions don't seem to support the University's so-called first mission to "foster academic success." If the Chancellor wants to enforce the first mission of academic focus, it needs to be enforced throughout the entire year in every aspect, not all of a sudden when our student body is feeling the most united.

PAGE 6A FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN CAMPUS Roe v. Wade attorney urges women to lead HANNAH BARLING editor@kansan.com Almost 40 years ago, Sarah Weddington won the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in states across the country. Tuesday night, she spoke to an audience at Woodruff Auditorium about women's rights and leadership. Weddington was invited to speak by Hall Center for Humanities. Kansas State Representative Barbara Ballard helped organize the event and said controversies over reproductive rights and contraceptives — ongoing in some state legislatures—made this week an opportunity time to hear Weddington's story. "She won one of the most contentious court cases in this country's history." Ballard said. Weddington was only 26 years old when she became a lead attorney in the Roe v. Wade lawsuit, which invalidated all state laws limiting women's access to abortions during the first trimester of pregnancy. Before that 1973 Supreme Court ruling, abortion was limited in many states and entirely illegal in others. "I was the only person willing to do the case for free, so I did it," Weddington said. Weddington said she learned something about women's struggle for equality in college, but it wasn't new to her. As a student at McMurray University, in Abilene, Texas, Weddington was discouraged from running for class president. She said a male administrator at the university told her that men were presidents and women were secretaries. She said the administrator also discouraged her from going to law school, saying that no woman from McMurray had ever gone to law school because it would be too difficult to succeed there. Weddington, of course, did go to law school. She became one of five women in her class at the University of Texas. "After he told me it was too tough, that was the moment I decided I was going," Weddington said. Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center, said Weddington blazed a path for women and provided a role model for female leaders in America. He said that, even today, women often are overlooked for top leadership positions even when they have essential talents and skills. "There were so many different things that women could not do when I was young. I just keep trying to push back barriers so women have a bigger arena in life," she said. Weddington said prospects for women have improved since her college days. THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS Weddington said she speaks at venues like the University because she wants young women to know that they, too, can make a difference and better the future of the nation. "Part of leadership and preparing for leadership is practice. There were a lot of opportunities that happened because I was willing to take a risk," Weddington said. "Leadership is the willingness and ability to leave your thumb print." Weddington left her thumb print and urges young women to leave theirs. "Some leaders are born wom en," she said.

Midwest's governors defend pink slime ASSOCIATED PRESS Three governors and two lieutenant governors spent about a half-hour touring Beef Products Inc's plant to show their support for the company and the thousands of jobs it creates in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Texas. Beef Products, the main producer of the cheap lean beef made from fatty bits of meat left over from other cuts, has drawn extra scrutiny because of concerns about the ammonium hydroxide it treats meat with to slightly change the acidity of the beef and kill bacteria. The company suspended operations at plants in Texas, Kansas and Iowa this week, affecting 650 jobs, but it defends its product as safe. "It's beef, but it's leaner beef, which is better for you," Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said after watching a presentation of how the textured beef product is made and taking a walking tour of the plant. While the official name is lean finely textured beef, critics dub it "pink slime" and say it's an unappetizing example of industrialized food production. That term was coined by a federal microbiologist who was grossed out by it, but the product meets federal food safety standards and has been used for years. The politicians who toured the plant — Branstad, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy and South Dakota Lt. Gov. Matt Michels — all agree with the industry view that pink slime has been unfairly maligned and mislabeled and issued a joint statement earlier saying the product is safe. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2012 PAGE 7A SUSTAINABILITY Students, staff work to restore campus trees KANSAS ARTS AND CULTURES TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Mount Oread workers prepare to replant trees along Jayhawk Boulevard between Lippincott Hall and Bailey Hall. March 29 is the anniversary of the first Arbor Day celebration, which KU students celebrated in 1878 by planting more 300 hackberry, evergreen, elm and honey locust saplings. KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com The 10 small plants planted between Bailey Hall and Lippincott Hall yesterday don't dramatically change the appearance of campus. They do mark the inaugural efforts of a new group that hopes to bring about big change in the future. The rosebud trees were planted by students, faculty and staff as the inaugural effort of the University's recently formed Campus Tree Advisory Board. Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said he was approached around the same time last fall by two different student groups, the Environmental Law Society and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, interested in working to restore campus trees. Victor Zaharopoulos, a freshman from Lenexa, and a member of ATO, said that he got interested in campus trees after hearing about the tree canopy that once stood above Ivahawk Boulevard. "I want KU's campus to be as beautiful as it was and more," Zaharopoulos said. The students partnered with Severin and Facilities and Operations to form the advisory board. When it came time to choose a first project, students were discouraged to find restoring the canopy wasn't a possibility this year because maintenance on the street needs to be done before new trees can be planted. Instead, they decided on the more manageable task of planting 10 trees. While the small act might not seem likely to make a drastic impact, the tree planting attracted interest from students and faculty and informed people of some of the issues facing campus trees. "We really need to be thinking about how we maintain the historic landscape of our campus, and being prepared for whatever tree disease or insect infestation that causes the next round of trees to be lost." Severin said. Tree disease recently killed many campus pine and elm trees. Trees are also lost every year to new construction projects. in another way; it helped the University meet one of the requirements to become a Tree Campus USA. It also brought students together. The event benefited campus "The sense of community, everybody getting behind making our campus more beautiful is just as important to me as the event itself," said Isabel Segarra, a second year law student from Austin, Tex., and an officer for the Environmental Law Society. Next year she hopes students take the lead in organizing the event and come up with new ideas about how to reinvigorate the campus landscape. Future goals include replacing aging trees in MarvinGrove, planting new trees in other locations across campus and eventually revisiting their first goal. "By senior year, I hope to have the huge event where we restore the tree canopy on Jayhawk Boulevard," Zaharpoulos said. "I'm definitely cautiously optimistic about it."

"Food and booze and partying and basketball," he said. Aside from the festive atmosphere, Bob Austin said that another advantage of this year's Final Four is that the venue is centrally located within New Orleans, so people can walk everywhere they need to go, instead of renting a car. The one Final Four that the group missed took place in Detroit. In its place, the group went to the Masters Golf Tournament, in Augusta, Georgia. New Orleans is a hard vacation to beat, and Debbie Austin has already said she is not looking forward to attending next year's Final Four tournament. "Next year it's in Atlanta," she said. "So I don't know." Even so, the experienced group is enjoying their time in downtown New Orleans, and the fact that Kansas is part of the Final Four this year is just an added bonus. "We don't wail and scream that we're going to win." Bob said. "I just hope that we have a really good game, and I think we can win if we do." — Edited by Caroline Kraft WIZARD ROCK, MAGIC MUSIC WANTED MORGAN LAFORGE/KANSAN marry and the Potters perform in front of an intimate crowd at Wonder Fair on Thursday evening, as part of a tour across the U.S. The band started a genre of music called "Wizard Rock," which is an entire genre of music based off the world of Harry Potter.

ADMINISTRATION Students invited to help hire new vice provost Students have the opportunity to weigh in on the hiring of a Vice Provost of Student Affairs by attending a public forum today with one of the candidates at 1:30 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union. George McCielan, the vice chancellor of student affairs at Indiana and Purdue universities, is the first candidate who will field questions from Prairie School District Hellwig K. N. GUBEKO community this afternoon. The vice provost is considered an important advocate of students in administration, according to student body president Libby Johnson. The job description states the vice provost must have "experience with leading students, faculty and staff in innovative program development," and should have experience teaching at the college level. The public forum for Beth Hellwig, a vice chancellor at University of Wisconsin, will be held at 1:30 p.m. on April 2 in the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union. The University's interim vice provost of student affairs Tamara Durham, the third candidate, will answer questions at her public forum at 1:30 p.m. on April 6 in the Malott Room in the Union. Along with talking to McClellan today, students also have the opportunity to ask the two other candidates questions on how they will represent students on the administrative level. "I think it's exciting for the student body to partake and give input if they want to," Johnson said. "This person is the student voice in the room when students aren't in the room."

The measure would change the investment threshold for constructing a state-owned casino in either Cherokee or Crawford counties. Voters there have approved allowing for a casino but no developer has been willing to make the required $225 million initial investment. "The people who want rooms just want to be on the streets when we win," Longhurst said. "They want to be a part of the local celebration here." No glass, plastic bottles and cans are allowed on the streets. Although alcohol is not permissible on the streets by law, McKinley said the police would not focus on handing out alcohol citations Saturday night. "Alcohol use will likely occur downtown, but our focus will be on personal safety and property safety," McKinley said.

The bill would lower the investment to $100 million, similar to the amount set for developers of the Dodge City casino. Romig suggests visitors stay on heavily traveled streets. "We will have a very strong police presence," Romig said. "If you stick to heavily trafficked streets, there will be officer attendance everywhere."

By Matt Galloway mgalloway@kansan.com FINAL FOUR Like most of my college days, my Wednesday night began with my now daily pilgrimage to YouTube, the animated face of the sometimes-disturbing world of the Internet. One of those happenings would have been a pleasant surprise. Two would have been a blessing. All of them, along with junior forward Thomas Robinson's unanimous All-America play, is a miracle not unlike Manning or Mario. It's hard to say how many combined hours, days or months I've spent looking at videos of people hurting themselves on swing sets or cats jumping into progressively smaller boxes, but one video in particular caught my eye that night. Sometime after watching a clip of a road-raging Brazilian woman attempting vehicular manslaughter on a motorcyclist who kicked the side of her van, I stumbled upon a clip of Jack Harry from NBC Action News from a few months ago set to ominous, Hans Zimmer-like background music."I've got a beef with the league's coaches," Harry barked. "They really whiffed on this one, folks. Every year the so-called experts close their eyes and automatically anoint Kansas as conference champions." Double ouch. "KU will be lucky to finish in the top five." Harry continued. "There is no way the Jayhawks repeat this season." Ouch. Since the video was posted on March 28, it has received more than 10,000 views, 250 likes and only three dislikes. Harry's words are so satisfying to Kansas fans because the Jayhawks, preparing to play in their 14th Final Four and going after their second national championship in four years, can finally play the "Nobody believed in us!" card. It is hard to blame them. With several stars on last season's squad jumping to the NBA or graduating and with the ineligibility ruling against several key freshmen, the Jayhawks more resembled the Island of Misfit Toys than a Final Four contender. Who could have foreseen the frequently-suspended senior guard Tyshawn Taylor overcoming his personal and on-court struggles? Who imagined the lanky Jeff Withey would blossom into one of the most imposing defensive figures in all of college basketball? Or how about sparingly-use reserve junior forward Kevin Young averaging more than five rebounds a game in the NCAA Tournament? It's bizarre to think of a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a team that just earned its eighth-consecutive Big 12 regular season title as underdogs, but Harry was certainly not alone in his assessment of the Jayhawks before the season started. Several media outlets projected teams like Baylor, Mizzou and even Texas A&M ahead of Kansas in the standings.

Robinson went 7-9 for 21 points in the 78-67 victory. Buckeyes and Jayhawks are different teams from December MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com NEW ORLEANS — Recent history often hints toward the future better than anything else in basketball. It reveals player trends. It exposes match-up disparities. It gives us a final score. Not long ago, on Dec. 10, to be exact, the Ohio State Buckeyes visited Allen Fieldhouse and stuck with the Kansas Jayhawks, but lost 78-67. It was a back-and-forth affair that gave the unproven Jayhawks just what they needed. "We had to have a feather in our cap" coach Bail Self said. Does this recent history help us assess a rematch between Kansas and Ohio State in Saturday's 7:49 p.m. national semifinal? The Jayhawks would argue that it doesn't. Not in the slightest. "This might as well be a whole new year," said senior guard Tyshawn Taylor. Before that game, Buckeyes coach Thad Matta shook hands with Self and told him: "Merry Christmas." Matta had an early gift. At the time, the Buckeyes were undefeated and ranked No. 2 in the nation. But in this matchup, they would play without All-American forward Jared Sullinger, who suffered from back spasms. Also in that game, Taylor guided his team with 13 assists, but surrendered seven turnovers. Taylor, a point guard of speed and deception, was hobbling on a torn meniscus in his right knee. He would have surgery the day after the game. Then there was the Davidson game on Dec. 19: an 80-74 loss that plummeted Kansas to its lowest point of the season. After the game, Self said he thought his team just stunk. They weren't tough or energized when they had to be. Then Taylor went through his bumps, which involved turnovers and careless tempo, and he inspired a now-infamous analysis from Self. "He makes plays you can't coach," Self said, "and then he makes plays that look like he's never been coached." The Buckeyes had their struggles, too. They lost three in a five-game stretch in February. Some observers tagged Sullinger as an overrated name, and many no longer considered the Buckeyes to be elite. Kansas has endured a similar perception. Yet both teams braved their struggles and reached the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the Final Four. Most folks don't question Sullinger any longer. They say he uses all his might to beat a defense. Taylor has redefined the perception that he plays carelessly. Instead, they say, he just wins. And so, when you watch Saturday's game, know that the product on the floor is of two teams that have progressed over a season. It won't be a mirror-image of the Happy Holidays meeting in the Fieldhouse. "Anybody you play in November or early December is like two seasons ago," Self said. Edited by Ian Cummings BASEBALL Looking for momentum in home stand MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com For the first time this season, the Kansas baseball team will play more than two games in a row at home. Kansas will host the Texas Tech Red Raiders for a three-game series that starts today at 6 p.m. Kansas will try to put an end to a four-game losing streak and win their first game in Big 12 play. Coach Ritch Price said despite the tough losses, it was good to see the Jayhawks competing with good teams late in games. Kansas was beaten by a two-run double in the eighth inning Sunday against Baylor and a walk-off single Tuesday against Missouri Sate. "When you're playing as many young as I'm playing, you know there will be growing pains," Price said. "Traditionally it takes guys 20 to 25 games to become good Division 1 ball players. I think we're just starting to take that next step." After struggling early in the season, the Kansas offense is beginning to find its stride. Kansas scored 14 runs in its last two games. In each game, Kansas batters recorded 10 hits. The Red Raiders are 15-11 this season, but are just 1-5 on the road. Like the Jayhawks, the Baylor Bears swept the Red Raiders in their first conference series. They are 1-5 in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks fell to 10-14 this season Tuesday at Missouri State, but they have only played three of their 24 games at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence. They are 2-1 at home this season. Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor "When you're playing as many young as I'm playing, you know there will be growing pains." RITCH PRICE Coach said Kansas' starters will need to be better to have success this weekend. "The hitters have been doing exceptionally well the last two games," Taylor said. "The pitching staff needs to go out there and try and limit the runs as much as possible and get back to what we were doing in the beginning of the season." Texas Tech boasts a strong offense. It averages 6.73 runs per game and every starter in its lineup is hitting above .275. Senior catcher James Stanfield will be calling the pitches for the Jayhawks' young pitching staff. He said it's important that the pitchers don't shy away from the Red Raiders' batters. "A lot of it is just confidence," Stanfield said. "We've got to have a little more bulldog in us. They're tring to hurt us, we're trying to hurt them, and we just have to finish off their batters when we got them." Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan (3-3, 3.54 ERA) will take the mound today. He will face red-shirt sophomore Duke von Schaman (3-3, 2.08). Duncan has struck out 34 batters, but has walked 17 this season. He won't be able to afford walking batters against the Red Raiders, who bat .311 as a team. Duncan will have confidence pitching to contact knowing the defense behind him ranks 17th in the nation with a .978 fielding percentage. The defense has committed only 20 errors in 25 games. This weekend is the 48th time the two teams have met and the 45th time they have met in Big 12 play. Saturday's first pitch will be at 2 p.m. and Sunday's at 1 p.m. Edited by Caroline Kraft 16 27 ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO ASHELIGH LEE/NANSHI FILE PHOTO Associate coach Ryan Graves, freshman pitcher Colin Tousson, and junior catcher Alex DeLon discuss their next play on the pitcher's mound during game one against North Dakota Tuesday, March 6. PAGE 2B QUOTE OF THE DAY "And you find as a writer there are certain spots on the planet where you write better than others, and I believe in that. And New Orleans is one of them." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2012 FACT Jimmy Buffet OF THE DAY When founded in 1718, New Orleans was centered around the French Quarter, including Bourbon Street. 3. (1) $ a > 0 $ ; (2) $ -a < 0 $ ; (3) $ a < 0 $ ; — inetours.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What is Bourbon Streets most popular festival? THE MORNING BREW A: Mardi Gras Inetours.com Self's strategies against Sullinger When Ohio State coach Thad Matta and his coaching staff decided to sit forward Jared Sullinger out because of an injury in their Dec. 10 matchup with the Jayhawks, no one would have guessed that they would be giving up a preview of the national semifinals matchup. But what we did miss out on was the opportunity to peer into the mind of Self and see how he would have defended a team that is normally led by one player: Sullinger. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com Honestly, while the addition of the 6-foot-9-inch, two-time All-American forward would undoubtedly have provided a boost for the Buckeyes that day in December, I don't think Sullinger would be enough to overcome the 16,000 cheerle fans that tacked the Fieldhouse. Ohio State is no North Carolina or Kentucky, both having multiple players expected to be drafted as lottery picks in the upcoming NBA draft. Aside from Sullinger, the only other player nibadraft.net predicts being drafted from the Buckeyes is guard William Buford, and he is not expected to be drafted until the second round. Self will have options as to who he wants to have guard Sullinger. With Sullinger being the tallest player in the Buckeyes starting five, Self could employ 7-foot center Jeff Withey to guard him. Withey has greatly improved since the two teams last met — he only scored two points in that matchup— but has since evolved into a shot-blocking machine and was named defensive player of the year. While it makes sense for the lav Hawkes to defend the Buckeyes' tallest player on the floor with their tallest player, one of the flaws with this approach is that Withey is not as strong as the shorter Sullinger. Withey will yield 30 pounds in that matchup. While forward Thomas Robinson would also be giving up a serious weight advantage to Sullinger, he is a much stronger player, and could be more effective neutralizing Sullinger on the defensive boards; preventing second chance opportunities for the Buckees. This would also place Withey on the much smaller Daunha Thomas, Thomas, only 6-foot-7-inches, would be giving up serious height to the taller, longer, Withey, and I would find it hard to imagine Matta using Thomas to guard Withey when the Javahaws have the ball. But one reason why Self might shy away from placing Withey on Thomas is that KU Thomas has made the second most three pointers for Buckeyes and Withey has struggled at times when teams have brought him away from the basket on defense. I believe Self will have Withe start out on Sullinger, and Robinson on Thomas, but don't be surprised to see Jayhawk forward Kevin Young in the mix. Young had his breakout game the last time these two teams met, playing 24 minutes and scoring 14 points. And while Robinson has had the better season, we will finally have the answer to the debate as to who the better player is between Robinson and Sullinger come Saturday night in New Orleans.

She describes her athletes as sisters. And after a tumultuous season, the Jayhawks showed all of these things and became a family. The layhawks withstood transfers, injuries and a roller coaster schedule which could have knocked down a similar team, or even a former Kansas team, but this time was different. The team played for each other and they played to win. "You can't do it if you have kids pointing fingers at everybody and wanting to feel sorry for themselves and they never did," Henrickson said. Kansas kicked off the season with an 11-1 non-conference performance, but lost two players, sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Breaux, to transfers in that time. Mays' decision came after her career-best performance against Alabama on the road and mere hours after another strong game against Wisconsin. A few weeks after her unexpected departure, Breaux followed suit. But Kansas was resilient. Kansas defeated No. 25 Texas in the Big 12 opener and started conference play 5-2 before dropping three straight to ranked opponents. With another victory against Texas things seemed to look up again, but the tide quickly turned in the next game. Junior forward Carolyn Davis was injured in a loss at Kansas State on Feb. 12. Davis, a second-year captain and All-American candidate, tore her ACL and dislocated her knee minutes into the game and was wheeled out on a stretcher. The team met her in the hospital back in Lawrence and then the loss started to sink in for them. "It was a devastating to see her go down but we wanted to stay positive," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "We knew we had a couple games ahead of us still and we still had a season left. We were still hungry to make the tournament." In the upcoming week, tears welled in the eyes of Davis' teammates and coaches with a simple mention of their wounded warrior, and the Jayhawks started to slide again in conference play. They lost six of the next eight games and were hanging on the hopes of a post-season appearance. Once again, their resiliency was tested. When Selection Monday came, the scene was tense. The team, coaches, administrators and loved ones watched quietly while the announcers rolled off the first three regions. It came to the final region with six Big.12 teams already chosen and Kansas was announced. The room exploded with joy and relief as they tasted the satisfaction of the program's first bid since 2000. "I am so glad we stuck together when things could have gone downhill and that has been the difference in this team," Goodrich said. "We just fought back and I am so glad this is the team that it was this year." When they got to Little Rock, Ark., for the first two rounds they had something to prove. In the first round they defeated Nebraska and in the second round they notched another upset when they defeated Delaware. Those two games led them to the program's first Sweet 16 appearance since 1998. Kansas lost to Tennessee, but after the game the Jayhawks showed a unique combination of temporary disappointment and insurmountable pride. After transfers, they prevailed. After tough losses, they prevailed. After one of their leaders fell, they prevailed. Those small victories all combined to lead them to the ultimate reward: the NCAA Tournament. "This is a great basketball lesson for this program and these players, but also a great life lesson because life is tough," Henrickson said. These trials brought them closer together and made them a family. As Davis recovers after her Tuesday morning surgery, the team will continue to rally around her. They fought for her and their lone senior Aishah Sutherland. Sutherland was part of the 2008 team that played in the WNIT Final, but she wanted more. Her goal was the tournament and in her final season she took the team there with her. "This team has been through it all," Sutherland said. "Every year there has been injury or something that has stopped us, but we have taken adversity and used it as strength and I just love how we reacted this year." And so the Jayhaws who were picked to finish seventh in the league and seemed doomed after the loss of Davis find some healing in the end of the season. After the last game the players sat together on benches quietly reminiscing. Suddenly, laughter cut through the stillness and smiles returned to their faces. Their resiliency paid off. "I couldn't be more proud of this team," Goodrich said. "We have come so far and we've done so much for this program and it has been such a blessing just to be here." Edited by Amanda Gage KANSAS 15 KANSAS 3 Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner stetches for a defensive rebound in the NCAA Women's Regional Semifinals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN SOFTBALL S Junior infielder, Mariah Montgomery swings for a double in Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks will take on No. 7 Oklahoma this weekend. The Sooners feature junior All-American Keilani Ricketts who was just named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas faces No.7 Oklahoma ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com The Kansas softball team hopes to forget about a midweek loss to Missouri State when it goes on the road to face No. 7 Oklahoma Friday in its third conference series of the season. Similar to most weekends in Big 12 softball, Kansas (23-7, 2-4) squares off against a national powerhouse. Oklahoma's (27-4, 3-1) pitching staff has allowed fewer than one earned run per game (0.71 team ERA) while its hitters lead the league with 46 home runs this year. "We're in a conference where we play the best every weekend, and this weekend will be no different," said coach Megan Smith. The Kansas offense, ranked fifth in the conference with a .291 batting average, certainly faces a tall task. Oklahoma's junior All-American Keilani Ricketts (14-4) takes an 0.74 ERA in 114.1 innings into the weekend and has been named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week the past two weeks. That's not all, though; she can also swing the bat. Rickettis is batting .403 with eight doubles and eight home runs. Among Oklahoma's other offensive threats are freshman Lauren Chamberlain, who leads the league in homers (12) and RBI's (39), and five other Sooners who are batting better than .300. Kansas' senior pitcher Ashley Spencer, who faced Oklahoma last season, said KU's pitchers would need to be working one pitch at a time to control an offense that can otherwise become overwhelming. "You can't focus on the whole inn", Spencer said. "If you focus on one pitch, that's going to be key against these hitters that attack the ball." Kansas' offense has been lead by sophomore infielder and leadoff hitter Ashley Newman and junior outfielder Maggie Hull. On the season, Newman's 31 runs tie her for four in the Big 12, while Hull's .374 batting average is tenth in the league. Kansas will likely need the entire offense clicking to score runs, but Smith knows it starts at the top. "Undoubtedly, Maggie and Ashley have been the catalyst for our offense," Smith said. "They increase our chances of winning when they do well." Kansas wants to forget about the two-game series against Oklahoma last year in which the Jayhawks failed to score a run. Hull said it is all about staying positive, maintaining a short-term memory and simply playing the game. Kansas brings a different team to the diamond than it did a year ago, and Hull hopes that works in their favor. "They're probably thinking they're going to roll over us," Hull said. "My hope is we'll catch them by surprise. We're a talented team and we believe that." The three-game series begins Friday night at 7 p.m. The second game begins Saturday at 2 p.m. and the finale is Sunday at noon. MLB Edited by Nadia Imafidon Players to return to Yankees after pre-season loss ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — The New York Yankees got good news about two injured outfielders. Curtis Granderson went 1 for 4 after missing two games because of right elbow soreness but the Yankees lost 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. "Curtis is great," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Granderson, the designated hitter, singled in the third. The center fielder could play defense on Friday night. New York right fielder Nick Swisher, out with a groin injury, hit in a minor league game for the second straight day. It hasn't been decided if Swisher will play another game in the minors or rejoin the Yankees on Friday. "I hope so." Granderson said. "Everything is good." Rotation candidate Ivan Nova pitched in a Triple-A game instead of facing the Orioles, giving up three runs and seven hits in 7 1-3 innings. The Yankees play their second series of the regular season at Baltimore. "We'll see where he's at," Girardi said. look at his body of work from last year, too" Orioles starter Jason Hammel went 5-1-3 innings, allowing two runs and five hits. Matt Wieters had a double and triple in three atbats, and is 10 for his last 13. "He looked pretty good," Girardi said of Nova, a 16-game winner last season. "I think you have to look at everything, but you also have to “Pretty much everything I was working on I'm happy with,” Hammel said. “The results were good. Real good execution.” Baltimore infielder J.J. Hardy, sidelined by a right shoulder injury, is expected to return Friday. "Looks like it." Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I made the lineup (for Friday) and he's in it." are a lot more important than the one's at the beginning," Girardi said. Girardi said the pitcher that loses out is not guarantee a spot in the bullpen. spring during a scoreless sixth. The right-hander has not allowed a run in seven innings overall, and also extended his streak of not allowing an earned run in spring training — dating back to 2008 — to 28 consecutive innings. New York closer Mariano Rivera gave up his second hit this "Worked on getting the two-seamer in action, and except for one that probably went 900 feet, I was real happy with it," Hammel said. New York has four pitchers, Nova, Phil Hughes, Freddy Garcia and Michael Pineda competing for three starting slots behind opening-day starter CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda.

The outdoor season is just beginning. Throwers set to begin outdoor track season While a part of the track and field team has already begun competing at the Texas Relays this week, a group of Jayhawks will begin events for the Arkansas Spring Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., on Friday. The Arkansas group is highlighted by two All-American throwers. Alena Krechy will compete for the women's team in the second outdoor meet of the season following her successful indoor All-American season. She finished the indoor season ranked 13th in the women's weight throw. Mason Finley was an All-American in the outdoor season in 2011. He is also returning with his second meet of the season for the men's squad after an injury forced him to sit out for the entire indoor season. Finley wasted no time getting back into form. After the Baker Relays last weekend he is already the nation's current leader in the discus throw and second in the put put into the Arkansas Spring Invitational. Senior Joel Krause will throw in three events this week for Kansas: the hammer throw, the shot put and the discus. "It's a little bit tough to focus on three events, but it's also exciting because I get some rest time between each event and I get to focus on different aspects," Krause said. The hammer throw is a new event for Krause this season. NBA Krause says the key to throwing is to let your training take over and not put too much thought into the throw. When you are over thinking it the throw becomes too technical and usually will not travel as far, Krause said. The women's hammer throw will begin the Arkansas Spring Invitational tonight at 6 p.m. followed by the men's hammer throw. The rest of the events will take place Saturday. Max Goodwin Heat top Mavericks in 106-85 victory in Miami MIAMI ASSOCIATED PRESS Miami Heat power forward Chris Bosh (1) prepares to shoot against the Dallas Mavericks during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Miami, Thursday March 29. 2012 ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI (AP) No fourth-quarter collapse this time against Dallas. These days, everything seems to be going right at home for the Miami Heat. LeBron James and Chris Bosh each finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem scored 16 apiece and the Heat extended the league's longest home win streak this season to 15 games with a '106-85 win over the Mavericks in an NBA finals rematch on Thursday night. Mario Chalmers scored 12 points and Norris Cole added 10 for Miami, which swept its two games with Dallas this season and snapped a two-game losing streak. Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 for "We just worked our habits," James said. "The best thing about tonight, we didn't take another step backwards like we did the last two games. And it was good to see." Dallas, but was held to 1-for-9 shooting in the second half. Lamar Odom had 12 for the Mavericks, who were outbounded 44-29 and were held to only two fast-break points. "You have to give them credit," Nowitzki said. "They stepped up their pressure on both ends of the floor. In the first half everything came a little too easy for us. We got some good looks, got some rolls, had everything going. Then they really picked up their pressure and we didn't have many good looks." Miami outscored Dallas 26-13 in the fourth quarter to cap the win. It was Dallas' first time playing at Miami since winning Game 6 of the NBA finals last June, a series that turned after an epic late Game 2 comeback by the Mavs in Miami and eventually became the ultimate payback — hoisting a championship trophy in Miami, five years after Wade and the Heat celebrated winning their title in Dallas. Still, Dallas insisted this trip wasn't about revisiting memories. "Just another day at the office"; Mavs owner Mark Cuban said. In the fourth quarter alone, Nowitzki had the bridge of his nose bloodied, James got hit in the mouth and Wade spent a few minutes grabbing at his right index finger in obvious discomfort. Adding to Miami's discomfort: Dallas being within 90-83 with 4:37 left after Nowitzki made four free throws in a 27-second span. Well, not an altogether friendly day at the office — particularly late. Any angst existing at that point dissipated quickly. Simple as that. A 9-0 run sealed it for Miami, with Wade quarterbacking the charge. "I felt like we were in control," Wade said. "They got a couple things to go their way. It was just about settling down and running offense." His two-handed dunk pushed the Heat lead back to double figures, then he found Bosh to set up a three-point play and set up James for a slam that pushed the lead to 99-83 with 3:03 left. The Mavs called time out, took Nowitzki and three others off the floor for the night, and the Heat slide was soon over. Vince Carter and Brandon Wright each scored 11 for Dallas. "It's tough," Carter said of facing the Heat. "When they're rolling, they're rolling." Miami's offense has sputtered for nearly a month, but the Heat scored 60 points by halftime for the first time in 11 games. James, Bosh and Wade shot 12 for 21 by halftime, and Miami's bench — Haslem and Cole, mostly — connected on 10 of 13 shots before intermission. Haslem made all four of his shots in the half and Cole was 4 for 6 after making four shots in his last seven games.

The team played No. 13 Baylor and No. 18 Texas Tech last weekend, but the layhawks will need to regroup quickly for this weekend's action. By Sunday, the team will have played its fourth top-20 team in a row, after it travels to play No. 10 Texas today and No. 16 Texas A&M on Sunday. "It's so much different because our conference is pretty tough," junior Monica Pezotti said. "All the teams have been ranked except for us and Iowa State, so it's a really hard challenge for us to do well." Texas comes into the match fresh off a 4-3 loss to No. 21 Illinois and currently holds a 9-5 dual match record in 2012. The team's other four losses came to teams ranked No. 12 nationally or better. The Longhorns have two nationally ranked players, led by No. 25 junior Aerial Ellis and followed by senior Krista Damico at No. 58. Today's match is set to begin at 2 p.m. Texas A&M, which is moving to the Southeastern Conference next year, has won 11 straight matches after opening the season with a 4-3 loss to No.17 Mississippi. The Aggies face Kansas State today, before the Jayhawks travel to College Station for the 1 p.m. Sunday match. Temperatures are forecasted to soar into the upper 80's for both matches this weekend, but the team should be fairly wellconditioned to play in the heat, as recent temperatures have been well-above average in Lawrence. Both the Baylor and Texas Tech matches were played in 80-degree heat. "The weather has been hard on us all," sophomore Dylan Windom said. "I had like a two-and-a-half hour match against Baylor and have been cramping unbelievably. I think it has taken a toll on our bodies, because we are used to playing indoors and 70-degree, not 80-degree, weather." Kansas (9-7) has lost seven of its past nine dual matches, including a winless record in conference play. All of the team's remaining regular season matches will be played on the road before the Big 12 tournament begins on April 26. "The girls know if they get out and compete and play hard. Mentally they have to keep pumping themselves and stay on top of their games," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We're playing hard.

ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach charged with sexually abusing boys, leaves the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa on Dec. 13, 2011. A psychologist who looked into a 1998 allegation against Sandusky told police at the time that his behavior fit the profile of a likely pedophile, NBC News reported Saturday. HARRISBURG, Pa. — The judge overseeing former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's child sexual abuse case on Thursday delayed the start of the trial by three weeks to early June, and prosecutors filed a lengthy court document that said the case should not be dismissed. Judge John Cleland said the additional time was needed "to accommodate various logistical contingencies that have arisen", and the attorney general's office supported the postponement. The prosecution's 21-page answer to a catch-all pretrial motion that Sandusky's lawyer submitted a week ago said the commonwealth had "broad latitude" to establish the dates of allegations in child sexual abuse cases. Sandusky has asked for more specifics about when the alleged crimes occurred. Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas talks to reporters during a news conference in New Orleans, Thursday, March 29, 2012. Ohio State is scheduled to play Kansas in an NCAA tournament Final Four semifinal college basketball game on Saturday. "Defendant cannot exploit the appalling breadth of his own criminal conduct by claiming it encompasses so long a period as to hamper his defense," wrote chief deputy attorney general Frank Fina. The 68-year-old retired defensive coordinator faces 52 counts involving 10 alleged victims over 15 years. He remains confined to his home to await trial. Prosecutors have accused him of engaging in a range of illegal behavior with the boys, including sexual assaults, allegations he denies. Fina disputed Sandusky's argument that witness Mike McQueary will not be able to prove the charges involving a young boy allegedly seen by McQueary being sexually abused by Sandusky in the Penn State showers in 2002. "The defense appears to argue that an eyewitness who sees an adult man having sex with a child cannot provide sufficient evidence of the conduct of crimes." Fina wrote. "It is noteworthy that the defense provides no legal support for such a specious assertion." ASSOCIATED PRESS Cledland said a hearing remains scheduled for April 5 in Bellefonte to argue over the pretrial issues. Fina wrote that the prosecution agreed with Sandusky's request to have prospective jurors questioned individually, and to sequester them at trial. In Sandusky's omnibus pretrial motion last week, defense lawyer Joe Amendola argued some allegations were not sufficiently specific, others lacked evidence and the statute of limitations may have run in some cases. Messages seeking comment on the prosecution's filing were left for Amendola on Thursday evening. Fina noted that Sandusky waived a preliminary hearing that would have allowed him to test some of the evidence against him. "He cannot now be heard to complain the information is insufficient, having conceded the ability of the commonwealth to prove each count if submitted to a fact-finder." Fina wrote. Fina told Cleland that prosecutors expect to disclose additional information to the defense as the investigation continues. He asked the judge to allow Amendola to amend the omnibus pretrial motion two weeks after that additional information is received. CAA.C FINAL UR NEW ORLEANS "It is denied that the interceptions were in any way illegal or improper," Fina said. "It is absolutely admitted that the defendant 'was unaware of and did not consent to the interceptions.'" The prosecution filing said a search of Sandusky's home in June was authorized by a valid warrant, and that investigators legally intercepted conversations between Sandusky and two alleged victims, identified as Victim 1 and Victim 9 in court records. They include a seven-minute conversation with Victim 1 in June 2009, and a conversation with Victim 9 about four days after Sandusky was arrested in early November. BASKETBALL Buckeyes in Final Four after proving themselves to coach ASSOCIATED PRESS The season was spiraling away, the players didn't seem to care and Thad Matta had had enough. So, as he watched his team stumble lackadaisically through practice on the eve of a big game, the Ohio State coach snapped. Stop, day's over, head home, he told them. Not so fast, coach. Led by William Buford, the team's lone senior, the Buckeyes pushed back, decided to finish practice on their own. "I didn't let us leave," Buford said Thursday. "I told them we need to stay here and keep practicing, that's all there was to do. There was no sense in going home. We needed to stay together and show coach that we really wanted to be here" They sure did. Sparked by that we'll-show-coach moment of solidarity and buoyed by a refresher-course team meeting, the Buckeyes have made an unexpected run into the Final Four. Following a loss to Wisconsin the day after Matta's outburst, Ohio State (31-7) has won eight of nine games and is playing its best basketball at just the right time. The young Buckeyes face Kansas in Saturday's Final Four in the Big Easy and have found the confidence that was missing during an ugly stretch in February that had Matta wondering if his team could even get past the first round of the NCAA tournament. "There was a lot of finger-pointing going around. There was some adversity; we weren't playing as well as we thought we should be," point guard Aaron Craft said. "There were guys just not taking responsibility for their actions, and he tried to kick us out. I think we did a good job of fighting back. Since the last week of the season, it's been a better team mind-set, and we've dealt with adversity a lot better." The Buckeyes opened the season with some decent expectations, thanks to Jared Sullinger's decision to return for his sophomore season. Still, they were young and inexperienced, with 11 underclassmen on the roster, leaving Matta unsure of where the team was headed. Ohio State was a smooth-shifting machine early in the season, playing with poise and efficiency while getting scoring from Sullinger and Buford and steady play from Craft at the point. Ohio State's only losses were on the road to Kansas — without Sullinger — Indiana and Illinois, and it had moved up to third in the rankings. Then, the Buckeyes seemed to get discombobulated. Sullinger started complaining about the way officials were calling games and seemed bothered by teams playing physical defense. The entire team became more selfish, sometimes not even knowing what play was being run or where to be on the court. In position to take a two-game lead in the Big Ten with six left on Feb. 11, the Buckeyes labored in a 58-48 loss to Michigan State, shooting 26 percent while scoring 29 points below their average to see a 39-game home winning streak end. The Buckeyes bounced back with a road win against Minnesota but followed with a 56-51 loss at Michigan and still seemed to be in a funk despite beating Illinois. Facing a huge game against Wisconsin the next day, one that could determine the Big Ten championship, the Buckeyes should have been focused and ready for an intense practice on Feb. 25. Instead, they labored through it, prompting their coach to blow his stack and tell them to go home. It was a big risk with a crucial game the next day, but Matta couldn't sit around and watch his team fritter away what he thought could be a good season. "We've always tried to set the stage of how we practice is how we play — at high speed, we don't stop. It takes guys a little longer to get the intensity and what we're trying to get," Matta said. "And it took this team took a little while to understand." The Buckeyes stumbled after Matta's gamble, losing to Wisconsin 63-60 the next day. They rallied after that, though. Sullinger, who had just eight points and six rebounds against Wisconsin, shook off his midseason funk and concentrated just on his game, not outside influences like officials or what people were saying about him. Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State's second-leading scorer in the regular season, picked his output in the NCAA tournament, leading the Buckeyes with 21.8 points per game while giving the Buckeyes' a tough, who-do-you-stop combination with Sullinger. -Associated Press THURSDAY • APRIL 5 • 5:30 TO 7:30 PM ARTHERE!

Before the season, former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy and Kansas legend, Larry Brown spoke at the coaches clinic hosted by Bill Self. The duo watched a Kansas practice — without junior forward Thomas Robinson, to be fair — and the opinions weren't pretty. "Coach Brown thought that if we played really well we could maybe get to .50 and win 15 games." Self recalled Thursday afternoon in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Expected losses to Kentucky and Duke early in the season were followed by a head-scratching loss to Davidson on Dec. 19 in Kansas City. Self was fairly certain the players didn't like him around that time and he had his doubts on whether the players evened liked each other. Should the Jayhawks win two games here in New Orleans, however, the days surrounding that loss to Davidson may very well have been the turning point in the season. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor certainly believes so, recalling a discussion the rotation players had about what each player's contributions could be to the team. But it wasn't just another team meeting. "We had a lot of things that we went through that made us closer," Taylor said, noting the hardships junior forward Thomas Robinson went through last season. He then added, "We were just taking pictures right now in front of the green screen, and they told us it seemed like we like each other more than the other team they just did." What makes this such a tight knit group is also the reason the team is criticized. The Jayhawks have just six players who average 21 minutes per game or more. The bench is usually just two players — former walk-on and senior guard Conner Teahan and junior forward Kevin Young, and is rarely greater than three The starting five has been the same in 34 of 37 games. That includes the 36 starts by junior guard Eliah Johnson, who almost seemed angry when asked about a writer's opinion of his performances earlier in the year. "If you're not a part of the team or our program, or people who have been with us to help us work to win, when I hear things that's one person," Johnson said. "The outside." Kansas players have talked about shutting out "the outside" since the tournament started two weeks ago in Omaha, Neb., avoiding reading stories or listening to advice from friends and family. And however that cohesiveness was formed, they've slowly and quietly become one of Self's best tournament teams at Kansas. "I've had more fun coaching this team than any team I've had going back to my Tulsa days," Self said. "I could not have enjoyed this group more." — Edited by Nadia Imafidon 2018 FINAL FOUR NEW ORLEANS NCAA.com FINAL FOUR NEW ORLEANS NCAA.com Elijah Johnson Junior guard Elijah Johnson speaks to members of the media Thursday afternoon in New Orleans.

CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN NUT CHAMPIONS ASSOCIATED PRESS The Stanford men's basketball team celebrates its 75-51 NIT Final victory over Minnesota. Stanford defeats Minnesota in National Invitation Tourney ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Stanford's young guards Chasson Randle and Aaron Bright each scored 15 points, and the Cardinal routed Minnesota 75-51 to win the NIT title Thursday night. The third-seeded Cardinal (26-11) won their second NIT title, the first coming in 1991. Stanford forced two turnovers to open the second half to take a 10-point lead and stayed up by double figures the rest of the way. The Golden Gophers turned it over 22 times on the night. The final minutes turned into a celebration of 3-pointers and fastbreak layups for Stanford, players on the bench jumping up to cheer on nearly every possession. Both teams got off to a hot start, but then the Cardinal turned up the defensive pressure, and when the Golden Gophers (23-15) got good looks, they couldn't make them. Sixth-seeded Minnesota missed 16 of its last 19 shots in the first half. The Cardinal scored 12 straight points to go ahead 29-21 with 4½ minutes left before the break. Bright had six points, including a four-point play, and an assist during the run, and Stanford drew three charges. Bright, a sophomore, had six assists and earned most outstanding player honors. Randle, a freshman, was 3 for 5 on 3-pointers. In front of a sparse crowd at Madison Square Garden, the atmosphere on the court had some sizzle. Minnesota's Elliott Eliason and Stanford's Dwight Powell had to be separated after getting tangled up on a held ball late in the first half, and the two exchanged words again in the second. Powell was later called for a contact technical foul when the Gophers' Rodney Williams hit the floor face first after being whistled for fouling the Cardinal forward. Williams stayed on the court for several minutes before walking off under his own power and returned to the game soon thereafter. It was the fourth foul on Williams, who at that juncture had scored 12 of Minnesota's 30 points. Williams, who made the all-tournament team, finished with 12 to lead the Gophers. Powell hit both of his free throws, and in a sign of how the game was going for the Golden Gophers, Andre Hollins, a 92.2-percent foul shooter, made only one of two, and Stanford led 47-31 with less than 12 minutes left. Hollins, a freshman, also made the all-tournament team. The injury-riddled Golden Gophers had made a spirited run to the NIT title game. But they hit just three of their 13.3-point attempts Thursday and allowed the Cardinal to shoot 57.1 percent in the second half. Stanford is just the second team to play in the final of the preseason and postseason NIT in the same season. In the NIT Season Tip-Off in November, the Cardinal let a late lead slip away against Syracuse. Minnesota isn't exactly the Orange, but this time Stanford never looked back after going ahead. Minnesota had won the first four meetings in the series, though the teams hadn't played since 1975.

The team feels comfortable knowing Manning and Hinson will remain through the remainder of the postseason, said junior guard Travis Releford. "Right now, we can't even picture them not being with us until the time comes," Releford said. "We aren't really focused on that because they are still with us." Junior guard Elijah Johnson echoed Withey's sense of pride that two Kansas basketball figures have pluried the Jayhawks' recent success into new jobs. 1 "Jayhawk nation will always love them," Johnson said. "That shows you if you do the right thing, the pie is big enough for everybody. I never thought I'd be able to help one of our coaches get a job and for us to be part of the reason that happened makes me feel good and makes me want to win even more."

The Jayhawks underwhelmed during the first three games of the tournament, but sprang to life in an 80-67 Elite Eight win over North Carolina. Kansas beat Ohio State on Dec. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse, but the Buckeyes were without firstteam all-American Jared Sullinger (back spasms). Sullinger's presence in the rematch means the Jayhawks will have to step up. AT A GLANCE PLAYER TO WATCH Tyshawn Taylor, Senior guard Kansas' floor general is full of confidence after registering 22 points, six boards, five assists and five steals against North Carolina. However, Taylor has yet to hit a Taylor A. N. Kwabena 3-pointer in the tournament (0-17) and has never made a 3-pointer in a domed stadium. Saturday's game is in the Louisiana Superdome. Ohio State guard Aaron Craft, one of the nation's best on-ball defenders, will hound Taylor all night. If Taylor limits turnovers and makes shots, Kansas will be tough to beat. Will Kansas' toughness continue to carry the Jayhawks? QUESTION MARK Coach Bill Self said the 2008 Final Four team would be favored against the 2012 team, but that the 2012 team "wouldn't buy into that." Indeed, while this year's team might be Self's least talented, it is probably his toughest. Kansas willed itself to victory in a 19-point comeback against Missouri and against Purdue and North Carolina in the tournament. Against Big Ten co-champion Ohio State, toughness may be the decider again. "I think the more you try to control something, the less you actually do. You just have to let it ride and go play. The things you try to control aren't the things between the lines. It's the media, distractions, agents, runners, family members, tickets and hotel rooms. Those are the things we need to control. As far as playing, I am not going to try to control that. All four teams have gotten here by playing a certain way." HEAR YE. HEAR YE — Kansas coach Bill Self, on how to control things while playing on a national stage. BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF... The Jayhawks make clutch plays on both sides of the floor, maintain their aura of toughness and advance to Monday night's national championship. COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Taylor PETER L. HOWARD Johnson A. A. KUBA Releford Robinson KANSAS (25-5,16-2) STARTERS I will answer to the best of my ability. Please provide the text content of the image. TYSHAWN TAYLOR. GUARD Thus far in the tournament, Taylor's level of play has corresponded with Kansas' level of play. He shot a combined 6-25 against Purdue and North Carolina State and struggled to ignite Kansas' sputtering offense. He was terrific, against Roy Williams' Tarheels. Matchup up against lockdown defender Aaron Craft, Taylor must value offensive possessions and select shots wisely. Under college basketball's brightest lights, Taylor has the chance to prove his critics wrong once and for all. Withey ELIJAH JOHNSON. GUARD Nobody on the Kansas roster has made larger strides in March than Johnson. He is averaging 15.8 points per game in the last six contests, compared with his 9.8 season average. Without Johnson, Kansas likely would have fallen to Purdue in the second round, but his clutch three-pointer, layup and alley-oop pass to Taylor in the final moments proved decisive. Johnson hit five threes against Ohio State in the first meeting. ★★★★★ TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD ★★★★☆ Although quiet offensively, Releford has expended great energy on defense throughout the tournament: he guarded versatile Purdue forward Robbie Hummel, sharp-shooting North Carolina State guard Scott Wood and North Carolina star Harrison Barnes. His next assignment is 6-foot-6 wing William Buford, Ohio State's fifth all-time leading scorer. Releford cannot let Buford break out of his current slump. ★★★☆☆ THOMAS ROBINSON. FORWARD Kansas' thoroughbred forward gets what he wished for back in December: a showdown with Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger. Robinson is averaging 17.9 points and 11.8 boards per game, but has shot just 37 percent in the tournament. In order to steal the National Player of the Year award from Kentucky's Anthony Davis, Robinson must outperform Sullinger and avoid foul trouble against Ohio State's physically strong front court. ★★★★★ All-American matchup No.2 seeds head-to-head in the Final Four KANSAS VS. OHIO STATE 7:49 P.M., VENUE, NEW ORLEANS JEFF WITHEY, CENTER The 7-foot center's ability to protect the rim on defense and block shots has proven invaluable. Withey blocked 10 shots against North Carolina State in the Sweet 16, falling one short of tying the NCAA Tournament record. He followed that performance with another fine outing against North Carolina, scoring 15 points, grabbing 8 boards and swatting three shots. Jared Sullinger may be his toughest defensive task all season. ★★★☆★ rd. SAM KOVZAN editor@kansan.com KANSAS 5 OHIO STATE (27-4, 4-14) STARTERS AARON CRAFT. GUARD Just a sophomore. Craft is one of the most underrated point guards in the country. His offensive numbers aren't spectacular (8.8 points per game, 4.7 assists), but he limits his turnovers (just 2 per game) and is a fantastic defender. Against Kansas on Dec. 10, Craft single-handedly forced six Tyshawn Taylor turnovers. He excels at defending ball screens—something Kansas on relies heavily—and his quick hands lead to steals and transition scoring for Ohio State. Craft LENZELLE SMITH JR., GUARD ★★★☆ Buford WILLIAM BUFORD. CENTER The sophomore guard is Ohio State's fifth leading scorer this season (6.7 points per game), but is fresh off two excellent games. Smith scored 17 in a Sweet 16 win over Cincinnati and 18 in the East regional final against Syracuse. Smith shoots 37.7 percent from 3-point range and, at 6-foot-4, has good length on defense. Smith is the least likely Buckeye starter to hurt Kansas, but he showed his ability last weekend. The 6-foot-6 senior is Ohio State's fifth all-time leading scorer. Buford is streaky, but can score in bunches. He has scored at least 23 points six times this season and is Ohio State's best shooter. He's labored in the tournament, hitting under 30 percent from the field. Even so, he remains an offensive threat at all times. ★★★☆☆ [Name] ★★★☆ NCAA DESHAUN THOM- Deshaun Thomas’ NBA draft status has skrocketed during the NCAA Tour. The Court AS, FORWARD - PATRICK A. BLAKE sophomore forward leads the tournament in scoring (21.8 points per game) and has shot 41.1 percent from 3-point range. He had 19 points in the game at Allen Fieldhouse, proving a tricky matchup for Kansas' big men. Thomas Robinson struggled guarding Purdue's Robbie Hummel on the perimeter, so expect Kevin Young to play a role in trying to slow Thomas down. Thomas ★★★★★ IARED SULLINGER, FORWARD Ohio State's leading scorer (17.6 points per game) and rebounder (9.3 per game) is playing his best basketball at just the right time. Sullinger suffered through a winter slump, but has scored 20 or more points in five of Ohio State's last nine games. His 16 double-doubles this season rank second in the Big Ten. Sullinger would have been a top-3 NBA draft pick last year, but he returned for his sophomore season in hopes of winning a national championship. He's awfully close now. CLEVELAND Sullinger ★★★★★ OHIO STATE TIPOFF OHIOSTATE OHIO STATE AT A GLANCE Ranked No. 3 in preseason polls, Ohio State (31-7) looked like an underachiever in February. The Buckeyes had lost three of five games and were two games back in the Big Ten race. Since then, Thad Matta's squad has won eight of nine and advanced to the program's 11th Final Four. Sophomore forward Jared Sullinger is playing like an all-American again, averaging 20 points per game during stretch. William Buford, Senior guard PLAYER TO WATCH CC If Buford stays in his current slump. Ohio State's tournament run will likely end on Saturday night. He has hit just 29 percent from the Will Jared Sullinger's presence be the difference-maker? field and has a 1:1 assist-to-turn over ratio during the tournament. Chances are Buford is too good a player (15 points per game) to continue struggling. Expect a solid performance from him, and hope that Kansas can limit his impact. QUESTION MARK Kansas won the first meeting this season, but Sullinger was injured and didn't play. That appeared to give the Jayhawks the advantage, as Robinson and forward Kevin Young combined for 35 points. With Sullinger involved, the frontcourt matchup becomes even more intriguing. Will Jeff Withey's length bother Sullinger? Can Robinson contain the rapidly improving Deshaun Thomas on the perimeter? Who gets into foul trouble first? HEAR YE. HEAR YE "There was a lot of finger-pointing going around. There was some adversity; we weren't playing as well as we thought we should be." — Sophomore guard Aaron Craft, on his team's mid-season struggles.
