Dan "The Bus Driver" Morelan is now a taxi driver after being fired from his position as a bus driver on the Campus Red route. Morelan works for Ground Transportation Services, which is now expanding its services to students.
'DAN THE TAXI MAN'
Dan Morelan, former KU bus driver, has found a new calling: taxis

Known for whistling, singing and cheering up students while driving the Route 43 Campus Red bus at the University for four years, Dan Morelan earned campus celebrity status as "Dan the bus driver." But he has since acquired a different set of wheels in Lawrence.
He still whistles and sings to the radio. He laughs with passengers and cracks jokes. He helps with your groceries. He's the same guy, but in a taxi.
Morelan is now "Dan the Taxi Man."
THE BUS DRIVER
Morelan, a 55-year-old Lawrence resident, started driving buses for the University-contracted company MV Transportation in 2008. His positive attitude and friendliness — both on the bus and off campus — inspired students to create a Facebook fan page, customize "Dan our favorite bus driver" T-shirts and mention him in many Free For All submissions on the
Kansan's opinion page.
"He would give you the shirt off his back," said Skyler Richardson, a senior from Salina and creator of the Facebook fan page. "If you've got something going on, he's always willing to help you."
Despite his popularity with students, Morelan was fired in September by MV Transportation for singing on the bus with passengers. Morelan felt the company was always out to get him.
"The other drivers, I got along with most of my co-workers," Morelan said. "But some of them resent the fact that when a student gets in and sits down and says, 'I should have gone on Dan's bus.'"
Morelan filed a grievance with the bus drivers' union; however union representatives told Morelan nothing could be done.
His firing led to a petition, which reached 3,342 signatures, demanding the University rehire him.
Bryan Sorenson, the owner of Ground Transportation Services (GTS) in Lawrence, wanted to
THE TAXI MAN
expand the reach of his taxis to include more students. He met Morelan through a mutual friend who was also applying to be a driver for the company.
"Dan had put an application in before," Sorenson said. "I came back and looked his application over, looked him up on Facebook. Not only is he a good driver, but the customer base that he brings with him would be unconditional."
He quit that job and started driving taxis for GTS on Jan. 7. Most of Morelan's customers are Lawrence regulars who need to run errands like getting groceries or going to the post office, but he has driven some students.
After he was fired from MV Transportation, Morelan took a job working with Aero Stage Lines, a charter bus company, but he couldn't interact with students like he had as a University bus driver.
"I've picked up a few who've recognized me," Morelan said. "There's a warm, fuzzy feeling that
"I just love the kids here," Morelan said about students at the University.
Sorenson said that in the future, Morelan may also drive for a new van service that would pick up groups from Massachusetts Street on weekend nights after the Lawrence bus service ends.
you actually have meant something to these people."
"It's a good job for him," said Daniel Palen, a senior from Denver. "He'll get to see the students he liked so much again. I would definitely just go ride around with him."
Morelan currently drives taxis from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. Call (785) 842-8294 to request a ride with him. GTS taxis take you anywhere in Lawrence for $9.

Allen Fieldhouse legend dies at 80
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
One of the great players whose jersey number hangs in Allen Fieldhouse has passed away.
Former Kansas men's basketball legend B.H. Born died on Sunday, Feb. 2, in Peoria, Ill. He was 80 years old.
David Born, B.H.'s son, informed Kansas Athletics of the news on Monday.
"We heard this morning about the passing of B.H. Born," Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday in a statement. "He's one of the very few people that have been the most outstanding player of the Final Four on the team that did not win a national championship."
Born was born in Osawatomie on June 6, 1932. His family moved to Medicine Lodge when he was in fourth grade, which is where he began his ascent to basketball stardom in Kansas.
While in high school, Born was named to the All-State team as senior at Medicine Lodge High, where he averaged 25.1 ppg. He also set the 1A state tournament scoring record with 111 points in 1950, according to a recent Kansas-sports.com feature.
Nicknamed the "beanpole" Born's astonishing statistics brought him some national attention and college scholarship offers from around the country.
He decided to stay at home and went to Kansas, where he was coached by legendary coach Phog Allen from 1952-54. During that time, the Jayhawks won three conference titles and had a 63-14 combined record.
In his sophomore year, Kansas won the 1952 NCAA National Championship. That season, the Jayhawks had a 28-3 overall record. Born only attempted 46 shots and averaged 1.7 ppg according to College Hootedia.
In 1953, he established himself as one of the nation's best centers. He was named to the All-American team and first-team All-Big Seven that season.
Later that year, Born won the most outstanding player award in the NCAA Tournament. He was the first player to win the award from a non-championship team.
Kansas lost to Indiana, 69-68,
in the 1953 NCAA title game.
Born had 26 points, 15 rebounds
and 13 blocked shots, which is

On the far west corner of the Park and Ride lot on Becker Drive, the tall, wooden pillars emerging out of the slab of concrete signify construction to those passing by. However, the 20 students and one professor working in the 20-degree temperature are braving the cold with a vision that extends beyond the skeleton framework.
By this May, the University's Studio 804 capstone architectural design-build class hopes to have completed its latest project:

The facility is designed to be a net-zero building, which means it will produce more energy than it actually
consumes. The building will have an array of sustainable features, such as vehicle charging stations and 10 kilowatts of solar panels on the roof. Depcik said the goal is to be able to charge a battery electric car using the solar panels during the day and to use the stored energy to run the electricity in the building at night.

New laws work toward marijuana legalization
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — An effort is building in Congress to change U.S. marijuanua laws, including moves to legalize the industrial production of hemp and establish a federal pot tax.
While passage this year could be a longshot, lawmakers from both parties have been quietly working on several bills, the first of which Democratic Reps Earl Blumenauer of Oregon and Jared Polis of Colorado plan to introduce Tuesday, Blumenauer told The Associated Press.
Polis' measure would regulate marijuana the way the federal government handles alcohol. In states that legalize pot, growers would have to obtain a federal permit. Oversight of marijuana would be removed from the Drug Enforcement Administration and given to the newly renamed Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Marijuana and Firearms, and it would remain illegal to bring marijuana from a state
where it's legal to one where it isn't.
Last fall's votes in Colorado and Washington state to legalize recreational marijuana should push Congress to end the 75-year federal pot prohibition, Blumenauer said.
The bill is based on a legalization measure previously pushed by former Reps. Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Ron Paul of Texas.
"You folks in Washington and my friends in Colorado really upset the apple cart," Blumenauer said. "We're still arresting two-thirds of a million people for use of a substance that a majority feel should be legal. ... It's past time for us to step in and try to sort this stuff out."
Blumenauer's bill would create a federal marijuana excise tax.
Advocates who are working with the lawmakers acknowledge it could take years for any changes to get through Congress, but they're encouraged
by recent developments. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell last week came out in support of efforts to legalize hemp in his home state of Kentucky, and U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., is expected to introduce legislation allowing states to set their own policy on marijuana.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-VT., has indicated he plans to hold a hearing on the conflict between state and federal marijuana laws and has urged an end to federal "mandatory minimum" sentences that lead to long prison stints for drug crimes.
"We're seeing enormous political momentum to undo the drug war failings of the past 40 years", said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, who has been working with lawmakers on marijuana-related bills. "For the first time, the wind is behind our back."
The Justice Department
Blumenauer and Polis are due to release a paper this week urging Congress to make a number of changes, including altering tax codes to let marijuana dispensaries deduct business expenses on federal taxes, and making it easier for marijuana-related businesses to get bank accounts. Many operate on a cash basis because federally insured banks won't work with them, they noted.
hasn't said how it plans to respond to the votes in Washington and Colorado. It could sue to block the states from issuing licenses to marijuana growers, processors and retail stores, on the grounds that doing so would conflict with federal drug law.
Blumenauer said he expects to introduce the tax-code legislation as well as a bill that would reschedule marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act, allowing states to enact medical marijuana laws without fear that federal authorities will continue raiding dispensaries or prosecuting providers. It makes no sense that marijuana is a Schedule I drug, in the same category as heroin and a more restrictive category than cocaine, Blumenauer said.
The measures have little chance of passing, said Kevin Sabet, a former White House drug policy adviser.
"These are really extreme solutions to the marijuana problem we have in this country," Sabet said. "The marijuana problem we have is a problem of addiction among kids, and stigma of people who have a criminal record for marijuana crimes.
"There are a lot more people in Congress who think that marijuana should be illegal but treated as a public health problem, than think it should be legal."
Project SAM suggests people shouldn't get criminal records for small-time marijuana offenses, but instead could face probation or treatment.

"That's really new technology," she said. "No one's really touched that, so we're kind of giving him a space for him to find out and see if that's actually possible."
The building will be enclosed with used aircraft aluminum and glass allowing a high degree of visibility for spectators to see ongoing projects. Depcik believes this will highlight the building as well as the vehicles, and positively affect recruitment for EcoHawks. He said interested students can be taken to the Ecohawks building to see the program in a showroom type of setting.
Kevin Helton, the vice president of EcoHawks and a senior from Detroit, said the bigger facility will help to expand the program, further their research efforts in vehicle-to-building energy usage and storage as well as smart-grid technology.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2013
"The new building will allow the EcoHawks to evolve into one of the best research institutes in electrified vehicles, alternative energy and the energy infrastructure," Helton said.
Both Moore and Hunter Hanahan, a graduate student from Seneca, S.C. were drawn to the
Studio 804 program because of its non-traditional approach and fast pace.
Moore hopes the cooperative relationship of Studio 804 and Depcik's EcoHawks will have a lasting effect.
"Here, we're allowed to control so many more aspects, and kind of design on the fly as well. When we run into an issue on site, you have to design right there and then figure out how you're going to solve that problem," Moore said. "I just really like the fact that I get out from behind a desk, and I get to work with my hands. You apply what you've learned in the real physical world, and to me, that's really appealing."
"While we tend to build sustainably and with all of this energy consumption in mind, a lot of times, the end user doesn't really pay attention to that, whereas here with the EcoHawks facility we know that's one of their main goals," she said. "We're actually going to be able to physically measure how our building is performing."
"There's no other program that touches this," Hanahan said. "There are other programs that are design-build, but the end product of this program, you can't touch it. It's a high-caliber, professionally recognized building."

believed to be the Jayhawks' first ever triple-double, although it is unofficial.
In his senior season, Born was once again named to the first-team All-Big Seven team and represented the United States in its gold medal-winning performance at the 1954 World Championships.
During his last two years at Kansas, he led the team in scoring with an average of 18.9 ppg in 1953 and 19.0 ppg in 1954.
Following his time in Lawrence, he was selected with the 22nd overall pick in the third round of the 1954 NBA Draft by the Fort Wayne Pistons. He did not join the team. Instead, he played in the Amateur Athletic Union in Peoria in the
mid-1950s.
Born's jersey was retired to the rafters on Feb. 15, 1992 in a ceremony honoring the 1952 NCAA title team.
He is a member of the KU Athletics Hall of Fame, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame and the Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame.

Obama stands by gun control proposal while in 'Murderapolis'
POLITICS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — President Barack Obama declared Monday on his first trip outside Washington to promote gun control that a consensus is emerging for universal background checks for purchasers, though he conceded a tough road lay ahead to pass an assault weapons ban over formidable opposition in Congress.
"We should restore the ban on military-style assault weapons and a 10-round limit for magazines," Obama said in a brief speech, standing firm on his full package on gun-control measures despite long odds. Such a ban "deserves a vote in Congress because weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our schools or threatening our law enforcement officers."
The president spoke from a special police operations center in a city once known to some as "Murderapolis" but where gun violence has dropped amid a push to address it from city leaders. Officers stood behind him, dressed in crisp uniforms of blue, white and brown.
The site conveyed Obama's message that a reduction in violence can be achieved nationally, even if Americans have sharp disagreements over gun control. That includes among members of his own party in Washington.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he wants to give the bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines a vote. But he will not say whether he will support either, and advocates and opponents alike predict they are unlikely to pass.
The president unveiled his gun-control plans last month after the shootings at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. But many of the proposals face tough opposition from some in Congress and from the National Rifle Association.
Suggesting he won't get all he's proposing, he said, "We don't have to agree on everything to agree it's time to do something."
Putting the controversial measures up for a vote could put some Democratic senators in a tough spot. That includes some from conservative-leaning states who are up for re-election next year and face the prospect of voting against either fervent gun-rights supporters or Obama and gun-control supporters in the party's base.
Reid came in for criticism for declining to stand with the president by Minneapolis' Democratic mayor, R.T. Rybak, who accompanied Obama while he was in town. "He's dancing around this issue and people are dying in this country," Rybak said of Reid on MSNBC.
Democratic lawmakers and aides, as well as lobbyists, say an assault weapons ban has the least chance of being approved by the
Senate Judiciary Committee that is working up the legislation. They say a ban on high-capacity magazines is viewed as the next least likely proposal to survive, though some compromise version of it might, allowing more than the 10-round maximum that Obama favors.
Likeliest to be included are universal background checks and prohibitions against gun trafficking, they say. One lobbyist said other possible terms include steps to improve record keeping on resales of guns and perhaps provisions that would make it harder for mentally ill people from obtaining firearms.
Asked last week what was likely to be in his committee's bill, committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he didn't yet know but "I don't know how anybody can be opposed to universal background checks." He added, "I think gun trafficking, you've got to be able to close that. I don't know how anybody, anybody can object to that."

Woman accused of murder recounts childhood abuse
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — A woman charged in the savage stabbing and shooting death of her lover told jurors Monday how she endured an abusive childhood at the hands of her parents and planned to commit suicide after she killed her on-again, off-again boyfriend.
Defense attorneys claim it was a similar scenario throughout her relationship with Travis Alexander, a successful businessman and motivational speaker, who Arias killed in June 2008, she says, in self-defense.
Arias' testimony aimed to portray her as a childhood abuse victim and naive teenager who stayed with boyfriends even after they cheated on her and became violent at times.
She is charged with killing the 30-year-old man in what prosecutors describe as a fit of jealous rage after she found out he'd planned
to take a trip to Mexico with another woman. Authorities say she stabbed and slashed him 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the forehead, leaving his bloody body in the bathroom of his suburban Phoenix home to be found five days later by friends.
Her trial began in early January with a series of salacious details about a torrid romance between Arias and Alexander after they met at a Las Vegas conference in late 2006. She claims they dated for about five months, then broke up but continued to see each other for sex up until the day of his death. She initially told police she knew nothing of the killing, then later blamed it on masked intruders. She finally admitted her involvement, but claimed self-defense — kill or be killed by the enraged man.
Arias claims it was self-defense as Alexander attacked her after inviting her to his home for sex on the day of the killing.
In a soft-spoken voice, Arias calmly described how an idyllic childhood in California turned abusive when she was about 7 years old. She said her parents beat her with belts and wooden spoons, and the abuse later escalated into shoving her into furniture and slapping her in the face for misdeeds such as sneaking out of the house.
She testified Monday that she lied early in the investigation about not being at the scene of the crime because she planned to commit suicide so there would never be a trial.
Arias then went on to recount other stories from her youth that sometimes turned bizarre. She described meeting a high school boyfriend at a carnival when she was 15 and he was 18. Arias said the two dated for a while, but she broke it off because "he had all kinds of wild ideas."
Throughout the trial, defense attorneys have tried to depict Alexander as a liar and cheat who told Arias and other girlfriends he was a devout Mormon saving sex for marriage, while in reality he was having sex with multiple women, cheating on some with others. Prosecutors have portrayed Arias as a jealous ex-girlfriend who couldn't let go of Alexander and stalked him for months after their breakup until finally snapping and killing him.

'Fearless Felix' breaks sound barrier, new report confirms
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Supersonic skydiver Felix Baumgartner was faster than he or anyone else thought when he jumped from 24 miles up.
The Austrian parachutist known as "Fearless Felix" reached 843.6 mph, according to the official numbers released Monday. That's equivalent to Mach 1.25, or 1.25 times the speed of sound.
His top speed initially was estimated last October at 834 mph, or Mach 1.24.
Either way, he became the first human to break the sound barrier with only his body. He wore a
pressurized suit and jumped from a capsule hoisted by a giant helium balloon over New Mexico.
Baumgartner was supersonic for a half-minute — "quite remarkable," according to Brian Utley, the official record-keeping official who was present for the Oct. 14 feat. His heart rate remained below 185 beats a minute, and his breathing was fairly steady.
The leap was from an altitude of 127,852 feet. That's 248 feet lower than original estimates.
"He jumped from a little bit lower, but he actually went a little bit faster, which was pretty exciting," said Art Thompson, technical project director for the Red Bull-sponsored project.
"It's fun for us to see reaching Mach speeds and proving out a lot of the safety systems," Thompson said in a phone interview from his aerospace company in Lancaster, Calif.

BEYONCÉ WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!
It's a known fact that if you change the channel away from the Super Bowl, the universe ends.
If any of these FFAs aren't about Beyoncé, something is wrong.
Go home, Superdome. You're drunk.
If you're going to mock the Greek system, be a little more original, please.
To the guy walking up 14 drinking out of a red solo cup at 8 a.m. on a Monday.. It's a little early, don't you think?
To the person who used "like" nine times trying to try the frat guys, not funny. Just plain unintelligent.
You know you play too much Xbox when you make it to class barely on time and hear the "achievement unlocked" noise sound off in your head.
Can I please go back to math classes that actually have numbers? I miss numbers.
For those of you that don't know; the Blackboard app works terribly.
Really miss Tamagotchis sometimes, ya know?
I wonder who writes the calendar for the Kansan. They must be really cool and clever.
To the person who questioned why we freak out when seeing someone like Kevin Young. You disgrace Jayhawk nation... smh.
In other news, at least our football team has never lost in Allen Fieldhouse.
EDUCATION
Guys, Beyoncé did have a wardrobe malfunction. It was subtle and quick, but it happened. Kudos to those who caught it.
Hey girl, I like your shoelaces
Instead of freaking out about athletes, you should be worried about how unathletic you are.
I LET THE DOGS OUT.
The exact words in a text to my mother this morning; "I sold my soul for a calculator."
Dear hipsters: I like "vintage" style as much as the next person. But I think trying to bring back fur-lined denim jackets may be a step too far. Sincerely, normal people.
Evidently, one of your 99 problems is grammar.
This girl just walked through the Fieldhouse with a K-STATE sweatshirt on. Uhhh… What are you doing here?
To whoever saw Tyler Self and didn't freak out. Thank you, I'm not alone.

Dear Squirrels of KU Guy, how can I find you?
Are public schools teaching enough?
I am encouraging a discussion on education, right here, right now.
Over winter break, I spent a week in Chicago visiting schools as a member of KU Alternative Breaks' Teach For America group. Teach For America sent most of us to charter schools created in response to the lack of confidence and ability of the Chicago Public School system to teach students the necessary material for them to succeed in education. I visited UNO Soccer Academy, one of the newest additions to the UNO Charter School Network. To be honest, I was surprised to find it similar to my own public elementary school.
UNO Soccer Academy named its classrooms after countries that have hosted, or will host, the World Cup. The classroom assigned to my partner and I was the 8th grade mathematics, science and social studies room. I expected to meet students who misbehaved, did not listen in class and caused trouble with others. However, the school was extremely structured and was not much different from my own public school experience in the Shawnee Mission School District.
The school has only been open for two years, and many of the students are catching up to the required benchmarks necessary for them to hit before moving on to high school next year. The main difference I found from my experience was the requirement for the students to apply to five high schools, including public schools, instead of simply matriculating to the next level in the network.
I could not stop questioning whether charter schools were that much better than public schools. I understand my experience in the suburban area of Kansas City was more affluent than the southside Chicago neighborhood I was visiting, but how could public schools be so terrible to warrant parents putting their children in charter schools. Is the public education system that bad?
By Jordan Warren

For decades, presidential candidates mention the need to reform or enhance the education system in the United States, yet it seems very little has been done. In May of 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced a program to serve low-income children to help then succeed in school known as Project Head
Start. In addition, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act first passed during the Johnson administration and later developed into the legislation known as "No Child Left Behind" in 2001 under President George W. Bush.
Recently, President Obama campaigned on the platform that education is necessary for the recovery process of the United States. President Obama's "Plan For A 2nd Term" states his first agenda is to "Make education & training a national priority," according to his website.
The issue I have found in researching this topic and the actions taken toward American education is the lack of funding and implementation. The concept for "No Child Left Behind" was brilliant: make schools responsible for the students. Obama changed the focus to making educators responsible for student success, and I back it up whole-heartedly. However, when participating in some of the testing required for the legislation, all I wanted to do was scream, I disliked standardized testing because I was in certain advanced courses that caused me to step back from material I was learning so I could pass the same exam given to me the previous year.
I am fortunate to have grown up in a loving family who liked to read books, talk about issues and learn about interesting subjects. According to education, com, research by two University of Kansas professors found that children possibly heard and recognized about 30,000 words by the time they were 3-years-old, and that may have helped them in school. This research may have helped my personal education.
In kindergarten, I remember my teacher offering the first competition to us asking us to read as many books as possible by the end of the year. I won the competition with 444 books read, but many of them were repeat bedtime stories. By the time my
sister went to school, she won her competition with more than 800 books read.
My education experience is different from the students I worked with in Chicago. There, students want to learn and be better than the stereotypes placed on them by society. It was an enlightening experience that I brought back to school here in Lawrence.
On Jan. 11, a three-judge panel ruled that due to negation of a 2005 state Supreme Court ruling promising to increase funding, the Kansas Legislature should raise funding for public schools to $4,492 per student. In response to this ruling, Kansas legislators are proposing a change of power for the state judicial branch in mandating the amount of money allocated to education.
This raises the question: Do government officials want to help education, or do they say they want to help and then not follow through? Is Kansas education in trouble? What could help? I'm all ears, and hopefully, so are the politicians.

RELATIONSHIPS
Be careful when you live together before marriage
Now that it's February, the search for next year's apartment has begun for several students. But if you're looking for an apartment with your significant other, be careful.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
For years, research has suggested that premarital cohabitation increases the odds of divorce for couples who want to tie the knot, leaving partners searching for different living spaces year after year. However, newer research out of Bowling Green State University has debunked it. The study was co-written by National Center for Family and Marriage Research co-founder Wendy Manning.
The study found that in contrast to others who have suggested throughout the years that premarital cohabitation can be detrimental, 82 percent of women who lived with their future spouses were still married by their five-year anniversary, which is also true of women who chose not to live before saving. "I do."
Leslie Mann (no, not Judd Apatow's wife, a different Leslie) of the Chicago Tribune said the study also revealed that those numbers for men were nearly identical, coming in at a close 83 percent. Participants in the study live nationwide, totaling 2,003 women and 1,483 men.
In the wake of older studies warning us that shacking up with our significant others before
exchanging vows can cause harm, this study is important because it offers some peace of mind for those of us who wish to share an address before we share a last name.
Yale University sociologist Neil Bennett disagrees with Manning and says that if they live with their partners before tying the knot, women were 80 percent more likely to separate and eventually divorce. Also, according to William Axinn of the University of Chicago, people who live together before marriage are more accepting of divorce.
However, if I were taking a gamble as large as living with someone and being married — quite possibly the biggest one many of us will ever take — I'd like to make sure I know how the game works before going all in. Signing a lease together is a steep bet in and of itself, but if things go south, at least it's easier — and not to mention cheaper — to get out of a lease than a marriage
After all, we're consistently advised to look before we leap. So now, why stop at living together before marriage?
With that said, though, at risk of sounding like a cliché counselor, couples should not rush into a living situation together. There is no magic number of months or years that a couple should date exclusively before living together, but if the idea of sharing a space together doesn't feel right, that's because it's not.
But some of us can meet halfway if we want to test the waters but aren't willing to commit to an official living situation. When I was "homeless" for two weeks in between leases last summer, I lived with my boyfriend, which served as a test round for our moving in together for real in August.
It was weird in the beginning because my things were all over his apartment, and I was still happy to have my own space again in the end, but it gave us some sort of an idea of what to expect when we really do move in together.
In the end, moving in with your partner before tying the knot (or even just living together without marriage) is your own preregative.
However, it's important to keep in mind that being best friends with your significant other is one thing. Being roommates is quite another.

Conspiracy theories are dead and gone
Somewhere at Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies in North Korea, a precocious student is questioning whether his late-great leader, Kim Jong-Il, actually scored 11 "hole-in-ones" in his first ever round of golf. What if he wasn't so great after all, but was actually a manipulative dictator who controlled every word in the newspapers? What if it's all a conspiracy?
And somewhere, talking a bit too loud on the stoop of Hashinger Hall, or mumbling between muffled bits of freshly-defrosted Mrs. E's pizza, there's a college student wondering if the President staged a fake mass murder in a Connecticut elementary school in an effort to take away our guns and leave us defenseless for a government takeover. He almost fell for the whole dead child, sobbing parent trap that the media tried to pull, but with the help of his own intellect and prophetic insight delivered in the form of a cruely-made WordPress blog by a reliable source (i.e. someone who can use the Internet) he knows the truth. It's all a conspiracy.
You guys are gonna make me sound like the worst liberal and worst journalist ever, but chill out on the whole "freedom of speech" thing and trust the system every once in awake. We don't live in North Korea. This is America in 2013. No fact is too small to escape the persnickety clutches of the media. For God's sake, Mitt Romney was heavily scrutinized for putting his dog on the roof of his car; we have a seven-year timeline documenting Obama's fondness for Nicorette. And it's not just politicians – ask Deadspin what it thinks about Manti Teo's girlfriend. So if someone important – like, I don't know, the leader of the free world – ordered a kidnapping of 20 children and six adults from an elementary school, you better believe there would be an onslaught of user-submitted YouTube videos and sepia-filtered Instagrams of kids climbing into tinted vans plastering the screens of America's news networks.
The age of the conspiracy theory is over. Make no mistake, they've played an important role in history; we can forever speculate on Jesus' marital status or the possible economic motives of a war or, more recently, whether more than one man was involved in the assassination of JFK. Many

of these theories have merit but lack evidence because people of the past were too busy figuring out how to keep the house warm and not die of cholera. They didn't have the resources, the time or the freedom to record every single event. But we do now. So why do people still believe that the world is out to get them? Because it's easier than confronting the real problem.
Pay attention to the peddlers of conspiracy theories. They're mostly college students struggling in class and chained to their student loans, or down-on-their-luck, low-wage workers. They don't trust the government because it's not working for them, so it's obviously working against them.
While the number is significantly lower than 47 percent, there is undoubtedly a portion of the population that just wants to be the victim and will find an enemy wherever they can. It's a matter of bipartisan idiocy. Some Conservatives want to believe Obama is a Kenyan socialist with his sights set on dismantling the GOP and freedom in general. Some Liberals believe that wealthy businessmen rig every single election and the American Idol voting polls in favor of Republicans. And KU fans blame each loss on the refs' undying hatred for the lavhawks.
The truth is out there, and denying it is not a victimless crime. There are still Holocaust survivors who are told that they are lying about watching their family go to the ovens. Parents in Newtown who refuse to talk to reporters, not because they're hiding anything, but because they can't bear to address a world that doesn't have their child in it. So amidst all this debate over the Second Amendment, try and use your First Amendment rights a little more responsibly as well.

PESHHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani officials say the government plans to build a recreation complex in the town where al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. commandos in 2011.
Complex being built where Bin Laden died

Sqid Aeqi Shah, sports and tourism minister in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said Monday the project in Abbotbadda will have a zoo, paragliding club and water sports facilities. It will also have cultural heritage park.
Shah said the development is not intended to counter Abbottadad's negative reputation following bin Laden's discovery there. He said it's part of a revival of recreational and cultural activities in the province.
But Javed Iqbal Abasi, a lawmaker from the area, hoped the project will improve Abbottabta's image.
It will cost about $50 million and take five years to build. Construction will begin in a few weeks.

GAMES
Voting determines fate for Monopoly piece
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarrett@kansan.com
Monopoly players everywhere can prepare themselves to say goodbye to one classic token for good.
Hasbro launched a Facebook application that allows users to vote for their favorite existing game piece by giving them a "get out of jail" pass. The piece with the lowest amount of votes will then be dismissed from future versions of the board game.
"It was kind of shocking because the Monopoly pieces have been a staple of the game for such a long time," said Clinton Webb, a freshman from Leawood.
Monopoly is a game that many associate as a favorite pastime. Tori Wheeler, a junior from Olathe, remembers playing the game at a young age where it was hard to stay entertained by the long game, and that is when she grew attached to the Scottie dog piece.
"When it was my turn, I put a laftover piece that no one was using as my place holder and pretended Scottie was my dog and took him on walks around the
board," Wheeler said.
The Facebook application provides case files for each "inmate" presented in the form of the prosecution and defense. Users can read pros and cons about all the tokens. Wheeler was disappointed at first by the news, but her opinion changed after visiting the voting poll.
"I didn't want them to change something from my childhood," Wheeler said. "Then, when I actually thought about the different pieces they had, like the wheelbarrow, I remembered that maybe some of them needed to be retired."
will take its place, truly changing the game forever. The vote allows us to give fans a chance to rally behind their favorite token."
Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president of marketing for Hasbro Gaming, agrees that some of the pieces are outdated.
There is a leaderboard to show the tokens' standings. Voters seem to favor the Scottie dog, followed by the race car, while the wheelbarrow and iron struggle for recognition.
"The tokens that are in the game today represent household items from the 1930s when the game was first introduced," Berkowitz said. "We wanted to introduce a new token to the game that's more representative of today's Monopoly players. An online vote seemed the best way to involve Monopoly fans in the process. One of the classic tokens will be retired for good, and a new token
"I feel like the iron and the wheelbarrow are kind of bland," Webb said. "I know I never played with them because they weren't exactly cool."
The new options include a robot, a diamond ring, a cat, a helicopter or a guitar. The cat grabbed Wheeler's attention right away.
"I am a cat person and always wished they had one to balance with the Scottie dog piece," she said. "I really hope it wins."

The year 2012 was one of the wildest and most hectic years in music, with artists creating a constant stream of album releases. Not only were people putting out a ton of music, but a lot of it was high quality. 2013 is going to be just as exciting, if not more. Many artists are releasing follow-ups to their debuts, in addition to veterans making their returns. Here's a short list of what to look forward to:
KID CUDI - INDICUD:
KID CBOI
THE JAMES L. FERDINAND
TEX MUNCIOL
Just when people thought Cudi's best music was behind him, he proved everyone wrong. With two excellent singles already released ("Just What I Am" and "King Wizard"), Cudi's next album is shaping up to be great. The album is slated to have several impressive features that include Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole. Look for this album to release in March.
MGMT-MGMT:
VIVA
CIT
Not much is known about Mr. West's upcoming solo effort, but he has teased it saying, "It'll be a smarter album than Graduation." Kanye's albums are usually kept a secret right up until the release. Knowing that he's working on new music is exciting, and given his previous efforts, it should be great.

FEATURING
J A Y Z
On Jan. 9, Timberlake tweeted "Thursday, January 10th, 2013 at 9:01 am PST." When the mysterious date came, it was clear that the tweet was an announcement of his return to music after a seven-year hiatus. With a March
19 release date and an awesome single already released ("Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z), JT's return to music will be great.
All in, get ready for another great year for music.
It's been nearly three years since Earl Sweatshirt's last full-length solo project, and he is finally ready to release his follow-up. Earl is often recognized as Odd Future's greatest lyricist, and there a lot of anticipation to see what he does next. "Doris" will feature guest vocals from fellow Odd Future members Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean, as well as Pharrell Williams. Look for this one to release sometime later this year.

Artist fights world hunger
CALVIN WHITNEY
cwhitney@kansan.com
An emerging Kansas musician, Of Seed and Soil, is a small bedroom folk project with a big vision: to help fight world hunger. One hundred percent of all sales from his first LP, titled "Warm Winter", is donated to the World Food Program. Just two months after its release, "Warm Winter" helped feed more than 2,000 people. Jace Johnson, the man behind the music, has set his goal to $10,000. And while he understands the type of dedication needed, you can't sense any skepticism from the young artist. You can hear the music, purchase the CD and read more information about Of Seed and Soil at www.ofseedandsoil.com.
WHO IS OF SEED AND SOIL?
My name is lace Johnson. I'm from Frontenac, Kan. I've lived here my whole life. I started playing music late in high school, and it's something I've really pursued just in the last few years.
TALK ABOUT YOUR INFLUENCES:
My brother played music around me when I was younger. He was in bands throughout high school, and I was, like the little, middle school kid looking up to him saying, "That's awesome! That's what I want to do!" My dad also has a really great vinyl collection and has a lot of classic stuff in there. I feel
like I've really drawn a lot of inspiration from artists like Neil Young and Bob Dylan. When it comes to songwriting, I'm not a traditional singer and not that great of a guitar player. What I really excel at is writing lyrics and telling a story. That's why I mentioned Bob Dylan and Neil Young because they are pretty bad singers, really [laughs].
ARE YOUR VOCALS SOMETHING YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON AS A DEVELOPING MUSICIAN?
Yeah. I think it's something that really takes some time. I mean, it sounds cliché, but you really have to 'find your voice'. I always used to be really nervous playing in front of people, but being able to hear my voice formally recorded on "Warm Winter," I feel like it gave me a lot of confidence as a musician.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA AND MUSIC?
I've recently been posting a bunch of videos on YouTube, sort of building a repertoire of covers. It's not dedicated, but I try to put one up every week, if I can. I also just recently got into Twitter (@OfSeedAndSoil) over the last few months. It's kind of crazy because I'm getting a decent following because of Twitter. I now have people actually interacting with me from, like, Arizona saying, 'I love your music,' and that feels so good. It's
the best way to instantly advertise my music.
ANY UPCOMING NEW MATERIAL?
I am kind of working on two different things right now. I have an album that I have already written, but I need to record. I want it to be a one take, live recording. Something that has a rough sound. At the same time, I am working on re-recording some older material that I have written before "Warm Winter." I would like to give them proper recordings.
DO YOU EVER SEE YOURSELF
DOING THIS AS A PROFESSION?
I eventually want to do this full time. I want to fully commit to music and not have to work a regular job. I don't want a normal job. So if I keep doing it all for charity, that isn't possible. This is actually a recent decision [to pursue music as a career].
I definitely have a lot more to sell [laughs]. I'm well below my goal at the moment, but so far, I've raised an amount that I am proud of. My original goal is $10,000, which is still totally possible. I am learning, though, that it is quite an undertaking.
HOW SUCCESSFUL IS YOUR PROJECT GOING?

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis take up arms in a scene from last summer's "Expendables 2." Each actor has at least two movies in development for 2013.
Aged A-listers still in demand
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
Attention all moviegoers, sit up straight and pick the popcorn out of your teeth. The old school is back in session.
The first few weeks of 2013 have been front-loaded with fresh offerings from aging action stars. January brought us Arnold Schwarzenegger's latter-day western "The Last Stand," which bombed despite solid reviews and the awesome sight of the ex-Governator mowing down drug dealers using a mini-gun mounted on the back of a school bus. No matter, he'll be back as a wily prisoner in this year's "The Tomb" and a corrupt L.A. lawman in 2014's "Ten." This past weekend saw the release of Walter Hill's bluntly titled "Bullet to the Head," featuring an impressively pumped-up Sylvester Stallone jamming to Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" before crossing axes with Khal Drogo and grunting something unintelligible about Vikings.
Even Valentine's Day isn't safe from these gray-templed Goliaths: Fox has chosen Feb. 14 to unleash the decidedly unromantic "A Good Day to Die Hard," the fifth entry in the venerable franchise starring Bruce Willis as John McClane, the everyman cop with an uncanny knack for thwarting international terrorist plots. The film, which finds McClane traveling to Moscow to rescue his gungo mercenary son (Jai Courtney) from a Russian prison, marks the start of a busy year for Willis, who's quickly becoming Hollywood's go-to super-senior. In addition to reprising the McClane character, he's also slated for appearances in "G.I.J. Joe Retaliation" (as a Joe battling high cholesterol) and "Red 2," as well as Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's hotly anticipated "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," whose release date has been pushed back to early 2014.
Older folks in general are finding themselves increasingly well-represented onscreen. After decades of catering solely to the prudent interests of 15-year-old boys, studio executives have finally recognized the senior population as a largely untapped market, one with a surfeit of free time and plenty of disposable income to fill it with. One of the biggest box office surprises of 2012 was "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," a pleasant travelogue comedy about a destination retirement community in India starring Maggie Smith ("Downton Abbey"), Tom Wilkinson ("Batman Begins") and the irrepressible Judi Dench, who, incidentally, proved her chops as an action heroine during the final act of "Skyfall." "Marigold" ultimately grossed a respectable $46 million thanks to an ad campaign focused on attracting elder couples and retirees.
All across the board, the industry is working to court older viewers. 2013 has already seen the release of septuagenarian actor Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut "Quartet," also featuring Smith, a romantic face set in an old folk's home for retired musicians. "Stand-Up Guys," a gooey-hearted crime comedy starring Al Pacino (in full peacock mode, no less) and Christopher Walken as
a pair of geriatric gangsters, aims to appeal to the husbands of all the housewives who supported "Marigold." All three films are rife with jokes about estranged grandchildren, the frustrations of new-fangled technology and even the indignities associated with erectile dysfunction.
So, in the midst of this elder boom, what makes the old man of action unique? For one thing, he may have given birth to this trend in the first place. In 2010, at the height of Americas renewed love affair with Betty White, Mr. Stallone, having closed out both his "Rocky" and "Rambo" franchises on relative high notes, set out to craft an epic ensemble piece in the grand tradition of "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Magnificent Seven." His goal: to make a movie for his aging fan-base that would also catch the attention of their children and grandchildren.
Instead he came up with "The Expendables," a poorly edited muddle of misfired testosterone that nonetheless managed the difficult task of assembling a cross-generational pantheon of action heroes, including everyone from blockbuster heavyweights Willis and Schwarzenegger to more offbeat choices like Dolph Lundgren ("Red Scorpion", "Rocky IV"), beloved Old Spice spokesman Terry Crews and modern genre stalwart Jason Statham. The movie ended up grossing nearly $275 million worldwide, proving that when it comes to over-the-hill talent, audiences are more than willing to buy in bulk.

The Irrawaddy Literary Festival, which runs from Friday through Sunday, comes as Myanmar relaxes its censorship rules, bringing new freedom of expression to the country's authors, journalists, bloggers and comedians. More than 100 authors from around the world are attending, including Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the opposition leader who spent the better part of two decades under house arrest before being elected to parliament last year.
"We still take some care," said Pe Myint, who has written 42 books and numerous short stories. But, he
YANGON, Myanmar — The latest first for fast-reforming Myanmar — its first international literary festival — is putting the spotlight on dozens of the country's authors, a number of whom once spent time in prison for their writings.
Myanmar reforms literary censorship
INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Authors must still submit their books to the government, but it can no longer block their distribution. Some of the old laws used to jail dissident writers remain on the books, but local authors say that for the most part, censors have put down their red pens and they can publish quite freely.
Myanmar shut its censorship office in August and a week ago officially rebranded the Press Scrutiny board, which was responsible for censoring publications, as the Copyrights and Registration Division.
Myanmar was controlled by a military junta for half a century before sweeping political reform brought a rush of business and cultural engagement with the outside world.
added, for the last two years he has been able to publicy criticize the government, a once unimaginable right.
"Wild Swans" author Jung Chang, India's Vikram Seth, British historian Timothy Garton-Ash and New Delhi-based writer William Dalrymple — a force behind India's hugely successful Jaipur literary festival — are scheduled to attend this weekend's festival, along with about 80 authors from Myanmar.
"I feel extremely happy the festival can happen at all," said Jung Chang, whose books are banned in China.
Myanmar's literature is little known abroad, thanks to decades of isolationist rule and a lack of translation
The few authors known overseas — like Thant Myint-U, now a government adviser, and Pascal Khoo Thwe, the first Padaung tribesman to graduate from Cambridge University — have lived for long periods abroad and wrote in English. They are not seen here as truly local authors.
The old government restrictions on publication have also cut off local readers from global authors. The international literature available here has, by and large, been limited to censor-altered versions of Russian and Western classics, by writers like Anton Chekhov, Leo Tolstoy, George Orwell and John Steinbeck.
He didn't recognize any of the foreign authors scheduled to speak and has little guidance through the world of contemporary English letters.
Friday morning at the festival, dozens of students crowded around a table with a motley assortment of secondhand books for sale.
"It's very important for the students of Myanmar because there is contact with foreigners," Arker Kyaw, an 18-year-old student of English, said of the festival. "I know only Leo Tolstoy."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many Super Bowls have the Ravens and 49ers won combined?
A: Six. The Ravens have only won one, and the 49ers have won five.

ESPN
THE MORNING BREW Sports media loses touch with the 'important stuff'
The Super Bowl is considered the biggest sport game of the year in the United States. Fans around the country host parties, regardless of whether their favorite team is in the game. The game is used as an excuse to fire up the grill and get drunk.
So what's the problem with Superbowl Sunday? The problem is the media.
By Michael Portman
mportman@kansan.com
The media starts covering the Super Bowl literally seconds after both conference championship games are finished and the deciding teams are finalized. For two weeks straight, ESPN spent at least 50 percent of the time covering different stories relating to either team. But what happened to coverage on how each team should prepare for the big game?
For this year's Super Bowl, the main stories were: 1. Ray Lewis' retirement, 2. The Harbaugh brothers and 3. Colin Kaepennick. These three stories have swarmed the media, and we almost never hear about the game of football itself.
A lot of focus has been on the Baltimore Ravens' linebacker Ray Lewis and his retirement following the game. Although he found himself in legal trouble in the early 2000s, he is considered one of the best defensive players in the past 15 years. He is a leader, and everybody on the Ravens looks up to him.
What was also special about this year was the fact that two brothers were coaching opposing teams for the first time in Super Bowl history. John Harbaugh is the
coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and his brother Jim Harbaugh coaches the San Francisco 49ers. Many stories focus on their parents, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh, who, in my opinion, have been harassed by the media on which side they would choose. Basically, the media is asking them which son they like better.
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been shot into the limelight. After former starting quarterback Alex Smith went down with an injury, Kaepernick came in and led the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Kaepernick is a very versatile, young quarterback who will only get better with time. It is a good story seeing him come off the bench and go all the way to the championship, but a lot of attention and pressure was put on him by the media. Questions arise on whether or not it was stressful for Kaepernick and too much to handle.
It's understandable that the big game is about the people involved, but you can't forget the fact that the game being played
KU
is football.
Not only is the sports media losing touch of actually covering the game, but the Super Bowl itself gets way too much coverage. Two weeks is a lot of time to cover just one game. Enough is enough.

Senior awarded Division I National Athlete of the Week for long jump
Senior horizontal jumper Andrea Geubelle's record-breaking performance over the weekend at the Armory Collegiate Invitation in New York City did not go unnoticed. On Monday, she was named
Division I National Athlete of the Week by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
"I was pretty excited," Geubelle said. "I actually heard from a couple friends through text messages. I didn't really know what it was, I know it's the first year they've done the award. I'm honored that they picked me, really excited."
"I had a pretty good series that
Geubelle, a senior from University Place, Wash., shattered the school record and the Armory meet record when she jumped 6.69 meters (21-11.5 ft.) in the long jump on Friday afternoon. The jump broke the previous school indoor record by 11 inches, and it is also the longest jump in the nation this season.
day," Geubelle said. "I just relaxed and wanted to have fun with it. I finally drove my knee if we want to look technically at it. Every once in a while, you just get a pop off."
Although pleased with her performance over the weekend in New York, Geubelle is not satisfied yet. She said she is going to continue to work hard in practice and help her team prepare for the upcoming Big
12 and NCAA indoor meets.
"I've been really committed to track and field this year," Geubelle said. "Win the Big 12, that's my next goal. If I keep doing that, my best results are going to come. And hopefully it'll help me win nationals."
Geubelle now holds the No. 1 long jump in the nation this season and the No. 2 Division I triple jump.
She holds the school record in both of those categories. Up next for the Kansas women, who are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation according to the USTFCCCA, is a trip to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Tyson Invitational this weekend.

COMMENTARY Kansas' turnovers contribute to loss
By Trevor Graff
tgraff@kansan.com
In checking the most recent Associated Press top 25 poll, you'll find Kansas sliding to fifth. Losing to Oklahoma State on your home court is obviously a bad look to the pollsters, especially when it's the first win the Cowboys have had on the road this season.
Turnovers are the story of this eight-game stretch of putrid offense. Since the start of conference play, the Jayhawks are averaging 13.75 turnovers per contest. Compare to their opponents' 12 turnovers per game in that stretch, and the Jayhawks have a problem.
This weekend's performance should come as no surprise to those surrounding the Kansas program. The Jayhawks' play Saturday mirrored that of the rest of the conference season.
In a perfect world, that margin would be positive. But the sports world isn't perfect. Even senior point guards dribble the ball off their feet in clutch possessions.
Sure, 1.75 turnovers per game isn't a huge margin, but the number is much more telling than its surface value for a Bill Self squad predicated on creating turnovers and taking advantage of the easy offense those turnovers produce.
Unfortunately for Kansas, this imperfection has been quite prevalent among members of the Jayhawk backcourt. Kansas guards have committed 76 of the Jayhawks' 110 turnovers in conference play.
Elijah Johnson drew the anger of Kansas fans after dribbling the ball off of his foot in the Jayhawks' last offensive possession of Saturday's 85-80 loss to Oklahoma State. For Elijah, the moment encapsulated his recent play.
Including the bank shot victory against Iowa State, Johnson has committed 31 turnovers, the most of any Kansas guard. That's 3.88 turnovers per game and .12 turnovers per minute.
To understand the meaning of these numbers, compare them to the remaining members of the Kansas backcourt.
Turnovers aren't the sole cause of the Jayhawks' sluggish offense. But for the Jayhawks, it's time to clean up the act in the backcourt.
Releford has committed 12 turnovers in the conference season. In 36.5 minutes per game Releford is committing 1.5 turnovers per game and .04 turnovers per minute.
Ben McLemore has committed 21 turnovers in conference play. In an average of 33 minutes per contest, McLemore is turning over 2.63 turnovers per game and .08 turnovers per minute. McLemore isn't typically bringing the ball down the floor, but he does spend significant time with the ball.
Johnson's backup point guard, Naadir Tharpe, has committed 12 turnovers in conference play. That's 1.5 turnovers per game and .08 turnovers per minute. Granted, the sophomore isn't playing as many minutes as Johnson, Releford and McLemore, but he is taking care of the ball relatively well according to the per-minute stats. Travis Releford is the backcourt's best ball handler by the numbers.

LEARNING FROM LOSS
Saturday's loss to Oklahoma State was a disappointment — but not a shock — for many Jayhawk fans, even though it was only Kansas' eighth loss at Allen Fieldhouse under coach Bill Self.
GEOFFREY CALVERT
ecalvert@kansan.com
Self and senior forward Kevin
Young
the Jayhawks were living "on borrowed time" leading up to the game. Similarly, freshman guard Andrew White III said he didn't know
when the jayhawks would lose, but he felt a loss coming.
"Just performance-wise, we had been walking on that fine line of winning and losing for a long time, so as a team, we feel we were overdue for a loss based off how we've been playing." White said.
A chance to be ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll following Michigan's loss to Indiana vanished as the sun set on Allen Fieldhouse Saturday evening, as did the opportunity to open up a two-game lead on Kansas State in the Big 12
standings.
But senior center Jeff Withey isn't focused on the opportunities the Jayhawks missed by losing on Saturday.
"We can spin it into a positive just like we have in the past with losses," Withey said. "We thought that we were a lot better than what we were, obviously."
Seniors Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson scramble for the ball during last Saturday's game against Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks were defeated 85-80. This was the first time in 16 games that Releford didn't score double figures.
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
The last time the layhawks lost at the Fieldhouse was against Texas on Jan. 22, 2011, the day after thensophomore forward Thomas Robinson's mother died. Following that loss, Kansas won its next six games and 17 of its final 19 games.
Recent history suggests Kansas will learn from the loss as Withey suggested.
Oral Roberts University upset the Jayhawks in Lawrence in the second game of the season. Kansas won 15 of its next 16 games before falling to Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. Two weeks later, Texas A&M knocked off Kansas in the Fieldhouse. But then, the Jayhawks strung 14 consecutive wins together before falling to UCLA in the Elite Eight.
As Self noted, that year's team featured players like Julian Wright, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Sherron Collins, Russell Robinson and Darrrell Arthur. Although this year's team isn't devoid of talent, Self said the team must play to its potential to be successful.
OKLAHOMA STATE
Wilson
"We have less margin of error for this team than any team I've had since I've been here." Self said. "I think as much as anything it's a mental approach as it is anything else."
The only glitches were a Valentine's Day loss at Kansas State and the Elite Eight disappointment against Virginia Commonwealth.
However, Self said there is a difference between that team and this year's team, and it's something that the Jayhawks can accommodate for, but can't completely fix.
Before the 2011 Texas loss, the previous Fieldhouse defeat was Feb. 3, 2007 against Texas A&M. Kansas actually had to respond to a home loss twice that season, and the results were promising both times.
"I've said all along we're never going to be a physically tough team," Self said. "We can be a mentally tough team and play more physical. When you're 180 at the 4 and 220 at the 5, that's not exactly a
lot of beef. That ain't Thomas or the twins out there"

Home defeat humbles 'Hawks
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self is not a man who likes to lose. Since arriving in Lawrence, it has only happened on 54 occasions, more than enough for him to become familiar with the sour taste.
With that in mind, the man nearing 500 victories knew
Self
"I think for our team and our mindset, it was good for us to lose at home." Self said on Monday. "If I was going to pick to lose on the road or at home, I would pick home. It's more of a humbling experience."
Considering the Allen Field-house crowd hit 109 decibels at tipoff and went silent three hours later, there's no question a loss in Lawrence is quite the shock to the system. And since there have only been two losses in the last 103 games at home, it's not surprising to see an occasional lackadaisical effort bolstered by zero sense of urgency.
these Jayhawks were due to get knocked around, and if Kansas was going down, he preferred it to be in front of the very people they represent.
Perhaps the notion of invincibility gave Johnson the confidence to attempt an ill-advised joke resulting in a turnover on the final possession of the game.
"We thought we couldn't be touched here," senior guard Elijah Johnson said. "We thought at the end of the game, no matter what, we'd have more points. Oklahoma State showed us different."
Or maybe it was freshman guard Ben McLemore's miracle bank shot a few weeks back against Iowa State that made Johnson believe he could
To be fair, Self pointed out Johnson's numbers aren't far off from where they were last year when he averaged more playing time. The problem, Self says, is that Johnson is focusing too much on being a shooter instead of a player — he went 3-12 from the field in Saturday's loss.
"I'm not pleased with how he's played," Self said. "He's not pleased with how he's played. He hasn't played as good as he's capable of playing. But I think in our situation, we should judge our point guard more by their record than their stats."
play hero.
"I definitely needed one yesterday, and coach gave me it to me," Johnson said of his pep talk with Self. "I didn't realize it until I went home that's what I got. I'm just trying to grow up right now."
Either way, the loss gave way to a much-needed conversation between Self and Johnson.
The result of the chat?
Johnson's role as the starter wasn't in danger, and there was only one stat Self looked at to reach that conclusion: wins and losses.
Johnson's agrees and knows he'll pull himself out of his slump. He also knows how to do it.
Nineteen against two says Johnson is the starter for the foreseeable future.
"I don't think I'm doing a good job in practice," Johnson said. "I'm kind of pacing myself, and it's coming back to haunt me. I blame that loss on me 100 percent."
Just don't worry about the pace of those practices staying the same. When Self was asked if he would emphasize toughness going forward, he flashed a devilish smile and acknowledged it was a word he planned on using.
After all, this is a man who does not like to lose.

Team mixes old, new
JOE DAUGHERTY
jdaugherty@kansan.com
The Jayhawks have recorded back-to-back 30 victory seasons and spent the majority of last season in the top 50 in RPI. The Jayhawks also had victories against two nationally ranked teams: Texas Tech and Baylor. They made school history by having a 20-game winning streak.
The KU softball team is looking to use senior leadership and a talented freshman class to make it to the NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks have seven players on the 2013 roster that started 30 or more games last season, including three that started all 51 games; senior Maggie Hull, senior Mariah Montgomery and junior Ashley Newman. The Jayhawks will team experience with talented freshmen. Freshmen Chaley Brickman and Kelsey Kessler both earned recognition from ESPN. Brickman was the 22nd ranked prospect in the ESPN 2012 recruiting class while Kessler was added to the ESPN Rise's "Nine to Watch" list. Local freshman Alex Hugo comes in as the reigning Sunflower League Player of The Year.
Coach Megan Smith said at
the softball media day that the freshmen are prepared for their first game and that the upperclassman have really stepped up and challenged them to do so. Smith said one of the things they lacked in the past was consistent senior leadership.
"They want to make their senior year the best year they have ever had, and we want them to do that, too," Smith said. "They have taken the responsibility of keeping everyone on track and helping the younger players feel comfortable, and they are really pushing each other, which is good to see."
The Jayhawks are coming off of a season where they return 80 percent of their run production and 73 percent of their home runs from a team that hit .288 as a team, which was second best in school history. The team also returns all three of its Big 12 honores: Hull, First Team; Chanin Naudin and Maddie Stein, Second Team. Hull returns after having a monster year last season. She led the Big 12 in batting average at .409 and hits with 67. Hull said that the energy around the team is really positive and are focused on the first game against NC State.
"We're very ready to do what it takes to win and do what it takes to get to Regions, which is our goal," Hull said.
The team also returns redshirt junior outfielder/pitcher Alex Jones, who missed last season because of a torn ACL. Jones had started in all 106 of her previous games before the injury. Jones said that the injury completely changed her as a softball player.
"Just sitting by the coaches and keeping stats for the pitchers, so much more goes into than you think," Jones said. "That was a complete learning experience, and I am taking so much more than just the skill of coming back stronger, but it's the mentality of the game overall that has really improved."
The Jayhawks were picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll. The team finished 31-20 last season and are building toward making it to the NCAA tournament this year. With senior leadership and the infusion of talented freshmen, their goal is to make it to the NCAA regional and beyond.

OLD CLOTHES, NEW BUSINESS
Student entrepreneur finds and resells vintage clothes from local thrift stores

When Jacque Amadi hits up a thrift store, she means business — literally. Sifting through racks of stained prom dresses and T-shirts with quaint logos, she hunts for something fresh, something cute, or something that someone from New York, Texas or Australia will want to buy.
For Amadi, a senior from Wichita majoring in psychology with a business minor, fashion isn't just a hobby. Vintage clothes are her job. And she loves her job.
In Oct. 2012, Amadi decided to put her interests together and profit from the hobbies she would spend her time on anyway. She launched shoplioness.com, an online vintage boutique, to sell gently-used vintage and vintage-inspired clothing, accessories and jewelry to fellow young women in love with '90s style.
"The way you want the world to see you that day should be what you're wearing," Amadi said.
The transition to run her own online store didn't seem like a huge step to Amadi. Her blog, which she's had since she was 16 years old, had around 500 followers. The blog was where she experimented with photography and website design. She would receive requests from individual sellers and fashion producers asking her to give them publicity in exchange for a free sample. Since she started selling clothes she finds on eBay, she has purchased her own domain name and singlehandedly maintained all website design and upkeep.
A normal week will usually see four to six items sold, packaged and shipped. The package she currently uses allows Amadi to put up to 25 items a month. Although she plans to expand if her site gets more purchasers, she focuses on offering quality items that fit her style.
"I want to make sure that everything is wearable," Amadi said. Her clothing said.
Her clothing choices are both
"I decided if I'm going to make minimum wage, I might as well do it for myself."
JACQUE AMADI Wichita senior
cute and unique: high-waisted pineapple shorts, a "Fresh Prince" button-up top, a vintage ruby red blazer — all priced between $15 and $20. Despite the hours she pours into shopping and working on her site, Amadi said she keeps her prices low because she would feel guilty inflating the prices of thrift-store finds.
"I don't think I'll increase the prices anytime soon because I want it to be for people like me who don't have the money to be spending on secondhand clothes," Amadi said.
Profits from her boutique aren't enough to turn into a career, but Amadi isn't searching for a career in fashion. The hours she spends with her Nikon D300 camera, in front of her computer and inspecting clothes at thrift stores are an enjoyable replacement for a more conventional, less entertaining part-time job.
"I just really don't like the minimum-wage work," Amadi said. "It's a lot of work you don't like for a little bit of money. I decided if I'm going to make minimum wage, I might as well do it for myself."
Yemi Oyemusi, a senior studying cell biology from Maple Wood, N.J., and Amadi's boyfriend sees Amadi's hard work pay off.
"It's what she loves to do," Oyemusi said. "It doesn't seem like too much work to her — it's like a hobby. I have a part-time job and I hate going to work. For her, it seems like that's what she be doing even if she wasn't making any money."

Free State Story Slam offers forum for individual expression
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Bring open ears, and maybe even a prepared story to tell, to the Lawrence Arts Center this Friday night.
Free State Story Slam starts at 7 p.m. with live music and cocktails. Josh Conner will be playing this Friday before the story slam. Story telling starts at 7:30 p.m. and lasts until 9 p.m. Most stories last between five and seven minutes, with impromptu short stories given in between.
The Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., hosts a Free State Story Slam the second Friday of each month. Anyone 18 or older is welcome to come and listen to first-hand, live stories pertaining to the theme of the evening.
The idea of this informal get-together is for a group of people to share stories with one another and to enjoy live, true narratives. Acoustic music beforehand and cocktails throughout the night make for a casual atmosphere.
About 20 to 40 people usually attend the story slam. The only rules for the night are that the stories must be true and given without any notes.
David Hollond started the Free State Story Slam in Lawrence. Based off MOTH, a nonprofit story telling series in New York City, Free State Story Slam brings in a wide range of people from the community.
"Interacting and engaging with people, mostly strangers, is a way to get to know people around Lawrence," Hollond said.
"It's a group."
"Crash and Burr" is the theme for the upcoming story slam
It's a group of people spending time listening to one another, which we don't always do..."

RIC AVERILL Director of performing arts
on Feb. 8.
Anything that connects with the theme and triggers a personal story is acceptable.
Ric Averill, artistic director of performing
arts at the Lawrence Arts Center, said it's an environment where someone in the audience can become a performer.
Free State Story Slams are not competitive but the audience does vote on its two favorite stories of the evening. During the story slam in May, the favorites of the season are invited back for a sort of best of show story slam.
"It's a group of people spending time listening to one another, which we don't always do in social environments," Averill said.
Anyone 18 or older is welcome to join in on the Free State Story Slam this Friday in the Lawrence Arts Center Black Box Theatre. Music starts at 7 p.m. and stories last until 9 p.m. There is no general admission fee, but donations are accepted.

Chancellor releases State of University speech
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released her "State of the University" address yesterday. The video highlights some of the University's greatest accomplishments in 2012 and the school's continued efforts to fulfill its responsibilities as the state's flagship university and as a member of the Association of American Universities.
The Far Above Campaign, through the KU Endowment association, hopes to raise $1.2 billion through private donors. In the video, Gray-Little said the campaign will allow the University to be recognized as a top-tier research university.
Gray-Little said the University is a year deep into its Bold Aspirations strategic plan. A prominent step in this plan is the raised admission standards, which will go into effect in 2016. In the coming months, the University will also add 12 distinguished professors and 22 additional faculty members to campus.

Gov. Christie addresses his weight
UNION BEACH, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie, who has acknowledged to Barbara Walters he's "more than a little" overweight and munched on a jelly doughnut on David Letterman's talk show, is addressing his weight issues head-on as speculation intensifies he's positioning himself to run for president in 2016.
"If you talked to anybody who has struggled with their weight, what they would tell you is 'every week, every month, every year, there's a plan.' Christie said Tuesday, a day after appearing with Letterman.
Christie has never revealed his weight or released his medical records, and he bristled when his size came up during the 2009 governor's race. An ad by incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine accused Christie, a former federal prosecutor, of "throwing his weight around."
Christie found himself addressing the issue again on Tuesday, when a reporter asked whether the people who elected him should worry about his health because of his weight.
Christie said he's "remarkably healthy" and proved his fitness for the job by working 18-hour days after Superstorm Sandy, considered
He gave a similar answer when Walters asked him in December during her "Most Influential People" special if he was too fat to be president.

"That's ridiculous," he responded.
Christie is widely mentioned as a possible presidential candidate as his national reputation has grown since the storm. He said Tuesday "there is a plan" for his weight.

he said, 'you'll all be able to notice'

Proposed legislation to ban junk food in schools
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Most candy, high-calorie drinks and greasy meals could soon be on a food blacklist in the nation's schools.
For the first time, the government is proposing broad new standards to make sure all foods sold in schools are more healthful.
FRESH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this Sept. 12, 2012 file photo, side salads, apple sauce and plums await the students of Eastside Elementary School in Clinton, Miss. For the first time, the government is proposing broad new standards to make school snacks healthier, a move that would ban the sale of all candy, high-calorie sports drinks and greasy foods on campus.
Under the new rules the Agriculture Department proposed Friday, foods like fatty chips, snack cakes, nachos and mozzarella sticks would be taken out of lunch lines and vending machines. In their place would be foods like baked chips, trail mix, diet sodas, lower-calorie sports drinks and low-fat hamburgers.
The rules, required under a child nutrition law passed by Congress in 2010, are part of the government's effort to combat childhood obesity. While many schools already have improved their lunch menus and vending machine choices, others still are selling high-fat, high-calorie foods.
Under the proposal, the Agriculture Department would set fat, calorie, sugar and sodium limits on almost all foods sold in schools. Current standards already regulate the nutritional content of school breakfasts and lunches that are subsidized by the federal government, but most lunchrooms
also have "a la carte" lines that sell other foods. Food sold through vending machines and in other ways outside the lunchroom has never before been federally regulated.
"Parents and teachers work hard to instill healthy eating habits in our kids, and these efforts should be supported when kids walk through the schoolhouse door," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilms said.
Most snacks sold in school would have to have less than 200 calories. Elementary and middle schools could sell only water, low fat milk or 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice. High schools could sell some sports drinks, diet sodas and iced teas, but the calories would be limited. Drinks would be limited to 12-ounce portions in middle schools and to 8-ounce portions in elementary schools.
The standards will cover vending machines, the "a la carte" lunch lines, snack bars and any other foods regularly sold around school. They would not apply to in-school fundraisers or bake sales, though states have the power to regulate them. The new guidelines also would not apply to after-school concessions at school games or theater events, goodies brought from home for classroom celebrations, or anything students bring for their own personal consumption.
The new rules are the latest in a long list of changes designed to make foods served in schools more healthful and accessible. Nutritional guidelines for the subsidized lunches were revised last year and put in place last fall. The 2010 child nutrition law also provided more money for schools to serve free and reduced-cost lunches and required more meals to be
served to hungry kids.
The food industry has been onboard with many of the changes, and several companies worked with Congress on the child nutrition law two years ago. Major beverage companies have already agreed to take the most caloric sodas out of schools. But those same companies, including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, also sell many of the non-
soda options, like sports drinks, and have lobbied to keep them in vending machines.
A spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association, which represents the soda companies, says they already have reduced the number of calories that kids are consuming at school by pulling out the high-calorie sodas.

Wichita activists attempt to block clinic opening
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Anti-abortion activists delivered a petition with about 14,000 signatures to the Wichita City Council on Tuesday asking it to block the opening of a clinic at the building once owned by slain abortion provider George Tiller.
The city council took no action on the petition, which Kansans
for Life concede has no legal force. However, the group also plans to present the petition to the local planning commission later this month. The commission could recommend the city rezone the site or do nothing.
An attorney for the clinic's owner said it would challenge any attempt to use rezoning to prohibit the clinic from opening.
"Our view is that there is no legal
basis that will justify rezoning and that to the extent that the rezoning is motivated by a political purpose, it's improper," said Robert Eye, the Topea attorney representing the clinic's new owner. "The antichoice clique is effectively misusing the rezoning laws to accomplish its narrow purpose and that is inconsistent with what the law requires related to rezoning."
Trust Women Foundation Inc. purchased the building in late August. The abortion rights group plans to offer reproductive health care services, including abortions, when the clinic opens later this year.
The Wichita-based nonprofit
The petition asks the city to do "all in your power" to prevent the clinic from opening in what it contends is a residential neighborhood. It contends the clinic would create vehicular traffic, affect property values and change the atmosphere of the neighborhood due to
the noise and large crowds.
Eye said the clinic owners would oppose rezoning by whatever legal means required.
"I don't want to anticipate that the city of Wichita would do something that is not authorized by law, but if there is a misuse of the zoning laws to try to prevent a lawful operation of our clinic, then, yes, I will anticipate we would challenge that," he said.

Obama, senators address immigration
During his speech in Las Vegas on Jan. 28, President Obama said, "It's really important for us to remember history. Unless you're one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from some place else, somebody brought you."
The point he made came a day after a bipartisan group of senators announced they would be proposing legislation on the immigration issue. Obama cited this fact to highlight the hypocrisy of a nation of immigrants with an "us vs. them" mindset. Immigration reform is a central issue for the Obama administration this term and the president has been adamant that it needs to be done.
The plan Obama outlined, and the senators will try to pass, addresses the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, as well as an easier path to citizenship for law abiding immigrants. Obama iterated moderate ideas of compromise in his proposal, which brings genuine hope for reform to this controversial problem.
11 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States is evidence enough that need for reform is dire. It also presents a challenge in how to deal with the parties that are living here illegally and have established their livelihood.
By Clay Cosby
ccosby@kansan.com
It becomes a problem of practicality when enforcing some of the more archaic immigration policy. Obama's proposal would give those people a path to citizenship but not without consequence. They would have to pay a fine and would go to "the back of the line, which is only fair," Obama said.
To make that work, they are given temporary "amnesty" from illegal status and hopefully give people living in the states illegally the opportunity to assimilate as
they have never been capable of before.
"Critics will excoriate this 'amnesty' as capitulating to criminals, but it is far better than forcing generally law-abiding people to live in a persistent and incurable state of lawlessness," wrote the Economist.
The path to citizenship is preferable to deportation not only for illegal immigrants but also to the larger population, which is why this reform is so vital.
"Everybody knows that America's immigration system is a mess. It turns away too many
useful people," continued the Economist. "And it also leaves 11 million people ... who have often worked in America for years yet fear the knock on the door... to live within its borders but in the shadows."
Reform would allow those already illegally residing in the U.S. to come out of the shadows, contribute to society, participate in democracy, and legally pay all of their taxes. It would also become easier for skilled laborers, often times students educated in the U.S., to immigrate here more easily instead of being turned away and to let us reap the benefits of their production.
This pragmatic solution will most likely encounter its biggest roadblock in the GOP members of the House of Representatives. However basic republican principles, pro-business and free trade, are somewhat contradicted by an anti-immigration line. Obama's proposal in this case is a more
free market friendly approach toward the labor market.
This legislation has the possibility to pass at this point and will be especially crucial because of the changing demographics and voter groups. The Republican Party now must be faced with entertaining the ideas of their base as well as staying competitive in general elections. The Hispanic and immigrant population is growing and the GOP received only 27 percent of the Hispanic population vote in the last election.
BRAIN DRAIN
The changing fundamentals of the United States only make it more critical that immigration issues are addressed.

Be ready for the expiration date of your college degree
Your college degree will expire. Just like every bit of knowledge we have
of knowledge we have now, most of what you learn in college will likely not be true someday in your lifetime.
Degrees are not a guaranteed ticket to the job market anymore, and the basic structure of modern day higher education does not look like the best solution for the kind of world we live in. This is not a small issue, especially for us college students, making a huge time and money investment.
Fortunately, there is a solution to it. And it all starts with actually understanding the problem.
Sam Arbesman, Kauffman Foundation scholar and Harvard mathematician, explains the science behind this issue in his book, "The Half-Life of Facts." Using "scientometrics" (the science that measures science) he demonstrates how knowledge decays, and how nearly everything we know will simply not be true someday. And that ranges from all we watch on TV to every single fact we learned to take our last finals.
By Arnobio Morelix
amorelix@kansan.com
The solutions for the problem vary, and some seem more extreme than others. One of them, as proposed by the PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, is to drop out of college altogether.
He supports this with his Thiel Fellowship, which recruits students under the age of 20 to drop out of college to pursue other projects. Each student gets a $100,000 funding to work on whatever their passion is, which could include social movements, startup creation, or scientific research.
Although dropping out might be tempting to some of us, I understand it seems (and might actually be) very risky. Besides, your mom might not be very thrilled about it. I know mine didn't when I brought that up. But we can benefit from understanding why dropping out works for some people, and apply it to our lives even without quitting college altogether.
The solution is proposed by Sam Arbesman. It involves adopting a more flexible approach to learning, rather than treat formal education like we used to: a one-and-done deal. He shows in his book that to understand the decay of knowledge is to become more prepared to deal with it.
Personal approaches to it will vary. Dale Stephens, Thiel Fellowship member and founder of UnCollege.org, suggests a wonderful starting point: asking ourselves who we are, what we love doing, and where are we going. Although I did not drop out of college like Stephens, my own answers to these questions made me go for a flexible approach to learning. They made me experiment working and studying in different countries, trying my hands on a couple of startups, and even helped me find a job working in the same place as Sam Arbesman, the very cool mathematician who inspired this column.
Despite some of the problems pointed by many, college is still an awesome learning environment. It is true; degrees are far off from their previous promise of knowledge we needed to know from graduation and further on. But if we take a flexible approach to learning, and tame our school coursework to save time, college can still be a great bridge to a wonderful wealth of knowledge.

Stop following, become a leader
Do you consider yourself an independent individual? Do you take responsibility for your actions?
Some people say being a follower will better prepare you for the real world because you are supposed to do what you are told. But I say being a leader is what will make this world a better place.
A lot of people nowadays are content with following the leader. They are happy with hiding in the back of the class, jumping on the bandwagon, or doing what's "cool" at the time. Don't let that be you.
I know I am not the most credible person, but I used to be one of those people. I used to be shy and sit in the back of the class, and I used to do whatever my friends did, whether that was a good decision or not. Ever since I came to college in 2010 I decided to take the initiative to become more of a leader. And now I am 21 years old and I consider myself a leader rather than a follower in situations that allow me to be. I understand a person cannot be a leader in every situation.
For example, being a follower in the workplace is fine. Not everyone can lead in a situation like that. Follow your instructions and get the job done. Eventually the hard work will pay off and you will hopefully have the opportunity to become the leader of the workplace through promotions.

Believe me when I say this:
Being a leader of your own life will benefit you more than being a follower. We all have what it takes to be a good leader in our own sense, so brave up and next time you catch yourself sitting in the back of the classroom, get up and move closer to the front. You will thank yourself in the future.
Take charge, make smart decisions and don't let the decisions of your friends influence yours. Be independent. Don't let others hold you back, and do what it takes to take charge of yourself. And then maybe you will begin to see your friends and others follow your lead.
I understand it is a lot easier said than done. But we can be a leader and take charge of our own lives. And we should. Because we are all college students, we are making decisions that will possibly affect the rest of our lives, and learning to take charge should be near the top of the list.

Budweiser Clydesdale foal has new name
Anheuser-Busch said Tuesday that its contest to find a name for the foal born Jan. 16 at the company's Clydesdale ranch in mid-Missouri generated more than 60,000 tweets, Facebook comments and other messages. Hope was one of the more popular names generated through the social media effort.
Other suggestions were nods to the song featured in the commercial, including Landside — the name of the song — and Stvie — for Fleetwood Mac singer Stiev Nick.

Nostalgia, mindlessness pair in new Sylvester Stallone flick
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
"Bullet to the Head" isn't as dumb and groan-worthy in its old-school mentality as "The Expendables 2," but it isn't as competently made as a typical Jason Statham vehicle either. Instead, it finds an undemanding middle ground of nostalgia and mindless, cliché storytelling.
But thanks to star Sylvester Stallone and veteran genre director Walter Hill, there's some merit here. He actually forgot how Sly the Stallion's roughneck charisma can carry a film when it's not used in total bombast, and Hill wisely remembers the gusto of great '80s villains, making the baddies a big highlight.
As Stallone gives unnecessary and laughable narration during the opening, it's really a cue for the audience to power down their brains immediately because the narrative that follows frequently ignores how things work out in the real world.
It's a simple revenge tale where hitman Jimmy Bonomo (Stallone) and D.C. detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) team up in New Orleans to take down those who killed their partners. Kwon is a fresh-faced thinker who relies on his phone and online databases to figure things out, while Jimmy muscles his way through his foes for answers.
Those bad guys include the likes of Christian Slater as the
Momoa didn't have much luck when he stepped into Schwarzenegger's shoes in the "Conan the Barbarian" remake, but he kicked ass in "Game of Thrones" and I've been a fan since his days on "Stargate: Atlantis." He stands out here with a relentless persistence and an awesome axe fight climax against Stallone, which was easily the coolest sequence.
bankrolling playboy, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agabie (Mr. Eko from "Lost") as the enterprising brains of the operation and Jason Momoa as the brawny killer. Slater owns sleazy roles like this, wonderfully loathsome in his handful of scenes. Anikkuoye-Agabie essentially plays a low-grade Bond villain, and his enjoyment of it is contagious.
Like the macho action flicks of the '80s, Bonomo is a relic of the past. He and Kwan banter about this comically, which turns out pretty silly in the movie's theme of old school vs. new

age, Kang annoys slightly with his performance, sticking out as the weaker link in the movie, but this is clearly Stoneall's show and he gives a solid beatdown.
Considering how generic "Bullet to the Head" is and that it doesn't even take effective advantage of its bayou setting, it's certainly better than it has the right to be. The harkening back to brash action sensibilities and Stallone performing in his element deliver enough entertainment to pass an afternoon, but you'll forget the movie as soon as you turn your brain back on.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I used to be totally against it," Self told The Star. "I used to be totally against doing anything other than room, board, books, tuition and fees. But I've changed. And the landscape has changed also. It was always big business; now it's huge business."
—Bill Self as told to Kansas City Star
FACT OF THE DAY
The University of Kansas athletic program brought in revenue of $74,850,203 in 2011.

Q. In what year did the University's athletic program have the largest revenue?
A: 2008
usatoday.com
THE MORNING BREW College athletes deserve compensation
Mario Chalmer's was robbed. After making the most memorable shot in Kansas basketball history, many reaped profits off his success. Not a dime went Chalmer's way.
I'm sure the $4 million that Chalmers pocketed last year made him more than well-off financially, but the man that played a fairly large role in the Jayhawks fifth national title was duped for quite a bit of money.
Sure Chalmer may not be up in arms about the whole situation, but other past college athletes are. Ed O'Bannon, a former UCLA basketball standout in the early 1990s, is currently leading a lawsuit gaining momentum against the NCAA—and it has the backing of big names like Oscar Robertson and Bill Russell. The lawsuit was formed against the NCAA on the grounds that college athletes should

have a right to pursue the revenues of rebroadcasted games. Last year, the lawsuit was amended to include live game broadcasts.
Last week, a California judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, denying an NCAA motion to prevent these players from seeking the revenues of live broadcasts.
The recent ruling has re-arused controversial conversation: should collegiate
athletes be paid? But before we get too indulged in the sight of Ben McLemore and #KUCMB swervin' in Benz-S on Jayhawk Boulevard, let's sort this out. College basketball and football programs rake in millions of dollars each year. The average Division 1 football program brings in $15.1 million annually while the college basketball program averages $10.1 million annually. The players' influence on the profits is obvious and inevitable. They affect ticket and merchandise sales. They attract national attention in the form of live game broadcasts. You watched Jimmer Fredette, not BYU.
Should Fredette have seen cash flow? What about Mario, or even Thomas Robinson, whose jersey hangs in about half the closets of all the university's students. Sell me a jersey without a name or number.
KU
For the NCAA to fix player compensation at zero when the athletes are the main attraction—the reason money is being made—is wrong. As rich as they may become, it should be up to the players to decide what to do with money they are responsible for making. Do the players listed above need the money? Probably not. But as for student athletes now? Trick question. It's not for us or the NCAA to decide.

PETER EASTMAN
Andrea Geubelle was named Division I National Athlete of
the Week.
The Kansas women have seven athletes ranked on the nation's top-10 list in seven events. Geubelle leads the long jump with a distance 6.69 meters and holds the No.2 position in the triple jump with 13.45 meters. Senior long jumper Francine Simpson joins Geubelle in
the top-10 list at No. 6.
Senior sprinter Paris Daniels has two top-10 times, 7.32 in the 60 meters and 23.26 in the 200 meters. Daniels sits at No. 7 in the 60 meters and No. 6 in the 200 meters.
Junior pole vaulter Natana
Bartnovskaya has the third
best vault in the NCAA this
season after record placing performance in New York over the weekend. She had a vault of 4.30 meters. Junior pole vaulter Demi Payne stands with her teammate with the sixth best vault in the nation.
After breaking her own school record with a throw of 21.76 meters, senior Alena
Krechyk moved to the No. 2 spot in the weight throw. Sophomore Lindsay Vollmer had a score of 4,094 in the pentathlon at the Jayhawk Classic in Lawrence two weeks ago. She still holds the No. 5 spot.
Most of the No. 1 Kansas women will be competing Friday and Saturday at
the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCI
Coming off a bitter loss to Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse, only the eighth home loss for coach Bill Self during his Kansas career, the Jayhawks face a putrid TCU squad that might not win a conference game this season. The Horned Frogs only average 54.1 points per game. Although TCU only surrenders 58.5 points per game, Kansas will look to take out its frustrations on the offensive end and may have no problem scoring at least 70 points for the second consecutive game.
PLAYER TO WATCH
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
Critics bound the senior point guard after he dribbled the ball off his foot to an Oklahoma State player with Kansas trailing by three points on its final possession. Johnson

said he didn't immediately realize it but he needed a pep talk after costing his team a shot at tying the game, and Self gave it to him. Playing against an overmatched TCU squad may be the perfect scenario for Johnson to take command of the game again without fear of getting benched if he makes a mistake.
Did Bill Self make the right decision?
QUESTION MARK
After the Oklahoma State loss, the immediate popular sentiment was to bench Johnson for the TCU game in favor of sophomore Naadir Tharpe, a true point guard. Self's response was that Kansas is 19-2 with Johnson at the helm, a better indication of his job as the team's leader than his shooting percentage. Although a team's record doesn't matter in the heat of tournament play, Johnson's offensive numbers are similar to what they were at this time last year before he made clutch shots in the NCAA Tournament. Self seems to be the only one in Lawrence not overreacting, which may pay huge dividends for Johnson's confidence later in the season.
BY THE NUMBERS
4-0 - Kansas' all-time record against TCU, with the last victory being 93-74 at Alen Fieldhouse in December 2004.
264 The Jayhawks have played 264 games without suffering consecutive losses, the longest active streak in Division I. The last time Kansas lost consecutive games was Jan. 14 and 16, 2006, at home against Kansas State and on the road against Missouri.
24 - if Kansas wins tonight it would give the team 20 wins for the 24th consecutive seasons starting with the 1983-1984 season.

ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
Coach Bill Self gave Johnson a vote of confidence after Johnson's turnover on Kansas' final possession cost the Jayhawks an opportunity to attempt a game-tying shot. Self said he only needs to look at Kansas' 19-2 record to know Johnson is still the right player to start at the point. It's clear that Johnson's low-volume scoring but high-volume turnovers frustrate them both. Playing against a team that has never seen him play in person before may help Johnson break out of his scoring slump.
PARKER JOHN
BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
Although Oklahoma State's Markel Brown and Marcus Smart stole the headlines for scoring 28 and 25 points, respectfully, McLemore played his best offensive game since the Big 12 opponent against Iowa State. He picked up two fouls in the first 13 minutes on Saturday, but he didn't let foul trouble affect his game for probably the first time this season. McLemore's 17 field goal attempts were his second-most this season. During a 13-4 Kansas run early in the second half in which McLemore scored 11 points, he showed the killer offensive instinct Self has been hoping to see

TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
★★★☆☆
Releford had an unusually quiet offensive performance Saturday, attempting only five field goals and failing to get a transition bucket. He hasn't scored more than 15 points during a Big 12 game, but it was the first time he failed to reach double figures. However, his ability to stay involved in the game's flow benefits Kansas if Ben McLemore picks up two quick fouls.

Young benefited from a higher-scoring game Saturday, scoring 12 points and grabbing four steals in only 24 minutes of action. Young got to the free throw line eight times against Oklahoma State. If he can match that feat tonight, TCU doesn't have enough talented forwards to battle Kansas' big men.
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD

JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
Withey is the Jayhawks' leading rebounder with 8.3 rebounds per game, and is the team's most consistent player. However, Withey and Kevin Young's inability to keep Oklahoma State from grabbing offensive rebounds hurt Kansas down the stretch in its loss Saturday. He'll face a TCU team that starts three players that are either 6-feet-7 inches or 6-feet-8 inches, but none of them average more than 6.9 rebounds per game.

TCU's point guard is one of only two Horned Frogs averaging more than 10 points per game. But averaging as many assists per game as turnovers per game (3) isn't going to break the losing streak anytime soon. His knack to turn the ball over has gotten worse since conference play began.

GARLON GREEN,GUARD
Green has also fallen on hard times in the scoring department. While he averages 10 points per game he has reached that plateau just once in the last six games. Although, he did score 20 points on the road against the same Oklahoma State team that just handed Kansas a loss at home.

When TCU joined the Big 12, it wasn't because of its history of basketball dominance. That lack of tradition has certainly carried over. The Horned Frogs have yet to win a conference game this season, and the closest they came was an 11-point loss at home to Texas Tech.

COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY Fans need to stand by their point guard
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
A crossover dribble can be a funny thing.
When it's done well,
when a defender doesn't expect it,
when a defender can't do anything
about it, it's one of basketball's
prettiest plays.
When it goes off a defender's foot in the final possession of a game,it gives fans the opportunity to question your job.
Right now, Kansas fans are questioning if Elijah Johnson should be the Jayhawks' starting point guard. Right now, Kansas fans are asking whether or not Johnson should even be in the starting lineup.
They should stop — right now.
They should stop — right now. No fan should be thrilled with the performance of the senior leader. Bill Self isn't and neither is Johnson. However, that doesn't mean they should just give up on a player that is a key ingredient in the Jayhawks' 2013 recipe for success.
"For us to have any chance of being a national contender and competing at the highest level, your best players have to play good," Bill Self said. "He is without question one of our best players."
Self said in this case, with this team, the point guard should be judged for his record more than his stats. In Johnson's case, 19-2 and a top-5 ranking doesn't look too shabby. However, it's easy to say that Johnson is a big reason the loss column has a "2" instead of a "1", and he knows it.
"I blame that loss on me 100 percent," Johnson said. "The senior guard always rallies the team up, and gets the Fieldhouse to turn up and takes care of the job for the night. I never did that. I had a blank face out there and I didn't like that at all."
Self's banking on Johnson being more of a Flacco than Naadir Tharpe being a Kaepernick, and why wouldn't he?
Just one year ago Johnson found himself in a similar midseason slump. You know what happened? He snapped out of it and was imperative to the Jayhawks' run to the National Championship.
Self likes to point out that the Ravens didn't bench Joe Flacco after losing four of their last five games to end the season. It worked out pretty well for the Ravens, and John Harbaugh looks like he made the right call. It needs to be said that benching Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick worked pretty well for Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers, too.
If the jayhawks hope to have any kind of repeat love-affair with winning a championship, Johnson will have to be the jayhawks' starting point guard. This is no time to make a lineup change, just time for Johnson to pick up his play like he did one season ago.
In fact, Johnson was one of KU's best players in the championship game against Kentucky. He was one of three players to score double-digit points and traveled on a late three that would've given Kansas a chance.

"It will fall," Johnson said. "I know it will."

Self to maintain Johnson as the team's point guard
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self isn't wavering on his starting lineup when the Jayhawks take the court at 8 p.m. tonight against the TCU Horned Frogs.
Although senior point guard Elijah Johnson drew the brunt of criticism for turning over the ball on Kansas' final possession in its Saturday loss to Oklahoma State, Self is sticking with Johnson against TCU and apparently for the rest of the season.
"I think most quarterbacks are judged by their record more so than their stats, and I think in our situation, we should judge our point guard more by their record than we do his stats," Self said. "And I do know this: for us to have any chance of being a national contender and competing at the highest level, your best players have to play good, and he is without question one of our best players. He is my guy and will remain my guw, period."
Although Self could have pulled Johnson from his starting role in favor of a true point guard in sophomore Naadir Tharpe. Johnson said Self's decision to keep him in the starting lineup may be the boost he needs to help him raise his game. Self may have realized that before even John did, because he admitted he didn't even realize he needed Self's pep talk until Sunday.
"Usually I don't but yesterday I did," Johnson said Monday. "I definitely needed one yesterday and coach gave it to me. And I didn't realize until I went home that's what I got."
Playing against TCU may be the perfect opportunity for Johnson to
regain his confidence.
The Horned Frogs are in their first season in the Big 12 Conference, and it's clear their basketball program is overmatched. They enter with a 9-12 record that includes an 0-8 mark in conference play.
"Trent Johnson is in his first year and during that transition period, you always have some situations that don't go smoothly." Self said. "He's building for the future, and they've actually recruited very well thus far. His teams will guard you, they don't give up a lot of points. They'll be much better moving forward."
Kansas coach Bill Self sees TCU's program as one that's concerned with future years, not this one.
KANSAS
15
No matter what Self's prediction for the Horned Frogs' future is, the most important thing for him is his team's performance tonight. Kansas has gone 264 games without consecutive losses since losing at home to Kansas State and in Columbia. Mo. against Missouri.
But after suffering Self's eighth loss at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday against Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks have to defend the streak again tonight.
That's not a bad challenge for Self, who said his team needed to experience a humbling loss.
"Losses are OK as long as you get better through them," Self said. "I think losing at home, to be honest, was good for us. I don't want to lose — don't get me wrong — but I think for our team, our mind set and psyche, I think it was probably good for us to be humbled."

Sophomore guard Natalie Knight walks into practice with a limp and a laugh. A smile never seems to leave her face as she rebounds missed shots for her teammates.
She is surrounded by teammates that know exactly what she is going through. Senior guard Angel Goodrich, senior forward Carolyn Davis and junior guard CeCe Harper have all experienced a torn ACL before.
A week ago, the starting guard tore the ACL in her right knee and realized her season was over. Knight has remained a symbol of positivity since the shock that came with such a major injury.
Senior guard Angel Goodrich drives the ball during the first half of the match against Baylor at Alen Fieldhouse on Jan 13.
Goodrich had 16 total points with seven assists. Kansas was defeated by the Lady Bears 60-82.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
"It was devastating," Carolyn Davis said of Knight's injury. "You never want to see somebody go down, especially someone who's young and never been through that, but at the same time it gives everyone one strength. We're playing for her."
Wednesday night, the Jayhawks will play on the road against Baylor, the No.1 ranked team in the nation. The currently unranked Jayhawks are going into the game with the mentality that there is nothing to lose.
The game at Baylor represents another challenge for Kansas, a team
V
that's been through its fair share of challenges. A Kansas win would shock the college basketball world. A loss, no matter how large, would not surprise anybody.
"Their atmosphere is crazy," Goodrich said. "It's tough to play there, but it's also exciting. We've gotta stick together, we're all we got when we go on the road."
The team has had to come together over the past week since Knight's injury. The seniors, Goodrich, Davis, and guard Monica Engelman, have been through this a few times now. They know how to handle the adversity of a season-ending injury. Last season it was Davis' injury that had the same affect.
They also know that there is no one player on the roster that can make up for what Natalie Knight does; it has to be a collective effort. Sophomore Asia Boyd will certainly see more playing time, as she did in the last game at Kansas State, but the Jayhawks are not looking for Boyd to replace Knight. They would rather she play a role that fits her and what she does well.
The goals for this season did not change with Knight's injury, just as the team didn't give up its hope of an NCAA tournament appearance when Davis was injured last season. What changes is that there is no more room for error.
In a way, the experience of dealing with so many of these same injuries in the past seems to have
"When your team is low on numbers because of injuries, you better be low on excuses too," head coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They've responded that way."
made the team stronger.
If not that, maybe it is simply the smile on Natalie Knight's face as she goes through this recovery process that bonds the team together.
"I feel like what makes us even stronger is seeing the positivity in the one that's hurt," Goodrich
said. "Seeing that their still pushing through, so you have to push through."

SUNRISE YOGA
Students relieve stress with sun salutations to start the day

WEEKEND
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
For some students, Monday mornings are reserved for getting every last minute of sleep possible to recover from the weekend. However, for a select few, sleep is sacrificed for a 7 a.m. yoga class.
The sunrise filtering into the darkened room creates a serene atmosphere. The instructor, Kimberly Warne, emphasizes balance and breathing while her seven students on yoga mats move through poses that highlight the beauty and shape of the human body.
"It's a really good stress release, and it's a really good way to get in tune with your body," Warne, a senior from Rochester, Minn., said. "A lot of us go through the day and we don't realize that we're not taking full advantage of our breath, of our movements and that hinders us and makes us have back pain and shoulder pain, and we get stressed out. It's really nice to come here and remember what your body is supposed to be used for."
Warne has been teaching yoga since she became certified during her freshman year. Introduced to it as a dancer, she has been doing yoga in her spare time since she was 10.
"Yoga—when I do it myself—is very personal, kind of like a relationship that helps me work through things," she said. "As far as teaching, I like to share that relationship with students and make them feel comfortable and appreciative of their bodies."
Although it's not a vigorous activity, yoga can have some serious health benefits. Recently, doctors at the University of Kansas Hospital have found that in addition to reducing risk factors for heart disease, yoga can improve symptoms of atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that can cause anxiety and depression.
According to a press release by the hospital, the participants, all beginners, engaged in three 45-minute yoga sessions per week and were encouraged to practice daily at home. The results revealed improvements
in a number of episodes of irregular heart beat and overall quality of life.
The stress that the college experience puts on students can have adverse effects. Brittany Brannon, a first-year master's student from Atwater, Ohio, started yoga this semester to regain strength and flexibility due to a back injury. She believes yoga can combat that stress.
"I think we get so caught up in the things that we have to do," she said. "It's nice to have a place to come and sort of let everything go, and I think that helps you physically to rejuvenate."
With the variety of yoga classes offered through KU Fit, there are options for beginners and advanced students alike. KU Fit allows students to participate in a variety of fitness classes for $50 a semester at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. For Rachel Bloom, a third-year Ph.D. student from Wheaton, Ill., yoga has become part of her weekly routine.
"I like that it's a bit of strength training, but it works with your own body," she said. "It kind of compliments other ways of working out in a way that's also calming and relaxing, and it feels like it stretches me in ways I don't get to do throughout the day."
Brian Lamoreux, a junior from Baldwin City, believes yoga can be mentally refreshing and physically increase energy.
"It clears your mind . . . it also makes you feel stronger and more flexible," he said.
"It's a good feeling for the body. Walking around, you don't feel as sluggish; you feel more alert, body and mind."
Aside from the physical and mental benefits, the personal element of yoga can be just as rewarding for students.
"It's not as competitive," Lamoreux said. "It's more about being yourself and being happy with yourself"
"It's just a really good way to learn about your body." Warne said. "As college students, we are trying to learn who we are. I think yoga can help with that."

Senate in opposition of concealed carry
A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in honor of the newly-renovated Kansas Union Ballroom last night.
Last renovated more than 25 years ago, the Ballroom now
features a new ceiling, sound system, a two-story backdrop behind the stage, energy efficient lighting and a new hardwood floor.
Members of Student Senate were all given a pair of scissors to each cut a part of the ribbon. The scissors were then donated
to the Center for Community Outreach's school supply drive.
Funds for the Ballroom renovations came from student fees. Alek Joyce, Student Senate outreach director, said that KU Memorial Unions chose to have the ceremony before a Student Senate meeting because they are
in charge of student funds.
Student Senate convened for the first time this semester. It passed a resolution to oppose concealed carry on campus. This resolution is in alignment with the other Kansas Board of Regents universities. Student Body President Hannah Bolton,
Student Body Vice President Brandon Woodard and Student Senate government relations director Zach George authored the bill. Copies of the resolution will be sent to Governor Sam Brownback and the other Kansas state senators.

Online lectures make learning more accessible

Susan Stagg-Williams works out a problem with her students in her mass balanced equations class. Her students are now required to watch an online lecture before class to better understand the material.
Students bored with their class lecture can now pause, stop or fast-forward their professor. That is, if their class is flipped, a teaching approach trending in University classrooms, according to Julie Boats, director of the Center for Online and Distance Learning. In a "flipped classroom," students are required to watch a video recording of the lecture material before class. Class time is then used for students to work problems with the guidance of the instructor, said Susan Stagg-Williams, associate professor of chemical engineering.
"In a science or math based class, you absolutely need that time to work problems because that is going to be a bulk of the test," said Katie Schmidt, a sophomore from Atchison who took Williams' flipped entry-level chemical engineering class this past fall. "It worked so much better for an active learning style than the normal
passive PowerPoint lecture."
Williams changed her class' format two years ago after seeing 40 percent of her class receive a D, fail.

"Most of those students had trouble keeping up with the pace of the class," Williams said. Since flipping her class, Williams has seen that number fall to around 25

percent as well as improvements in overall test scores.
Aleandra Rocha, a junior from Cochabamba, Bolivia, found Williams' recorded lectures saved her preparation time overall. Rocha found watching the lectures at her own pace allowed her to focus on the material she was struggling with.
"My understanding of the mate
rial was much improved in having the possibility to start, stop, rewind, and forward the lectures to my convenience," Rocha said.
MICHAEL AHRENS
St. Joseph freshman
This semester, Mark Mort, associate professor of biology, is including flipped class techniques into his lecture style for his organismal biology class. While Mort still delivers part of the lesson during
class time, he gives them an outline of how the lecture will proceed.
"Students do not receive copies of our PowerPoint slides, which in my opinion is detrimental to learning because it encourages memorization," Mort said.
Michael Ahrens, a freshman from St. Joseph, finds Mort's format requires more effort on his own to learn the coursework compared to
his other classes, which he prefers. By using the provided lecture outline, Ahrens said he has more time to listen instead of constantly writing down notes.
"You can think about the material more, which helps you retain and understand what's going on," Ahrens said.
While Qi Chen, a junior from Overland Park, appreciates the flexibility of a flipped class, he acknowledges the method is no substitute for effective teaching.
"Many instructors may be tempted to simply add the video lectures on top of their existing course demands," Chen said. "My sanity would not survive."

Kansas school funding declared 'unconstitutionally low'
edonovan@kansan.com
EMILY DONOVAN
Last month, Kansas courts ruled that state funding for public education is "unconstitutionally low." The judges called for base aid to be raised to $4,492 annually for each of the state's approximately 600,000 K-12 students, up from 2013s previously approved budget of $3,838 per student. Kansas senators have since challenged the ruling by proposing a constitutional amendment that would diminish the court's ability to devote funds.
Rury.
"The government seems to be wanting to shift away towards more local funding and less from the state," said Education Leadership and Policy Studies Professor John
Sometimes, the inequality between schools is more complicated than just being in a wealthier or poorer district. Because funds are distributed on a per-student basis, larger districts from more populated areas are able to spend their funds more efficiently than districts in rural areas. Every district has overhead costs of maintaining buildings, employing a superintendent and district staff. On top of that, each school needs at least one teacher for each subject regardless of how large or small the school's graduating class is.
Rury believes that allowing school districts to raise more of their funds through local taxes would create inequality between wealthy districts and poorer districts. As Kansas law stands, school districts can raise up to 25 percent of their total budgets through local taxes. Poorer districts like in Kansas City, Kan. don't have the tax base to support that option.
"That would be politically unpopular, to say the least," Rury said. "But the state could probably save several hundred million dollars."
One obvious way to make education funding more efficient, Rury says, is to consolidate the districts. Schools in rural areas would be joined together, meaning that students would have to drive even further for school, although that school would be arguably better funded.
Many University students from rural districts have seen the effect of funding on their schools. Freshman Aaron Ginkel, a marketing major, is from a Spearville, a city with a population of less than 800.
"It's now just hit me that I haven't had much exposure to some of those courses," Gunkel said. "I've just had to adapt. I had to teach myself calculus—other people have had pre-calc or whatever and I just
With a graduating class of only 20 students, Gunkel's high school couldn't offer Advanced Placement or other college-level classes. To receive college credit, Gunkel would drive 20 minutes to a community college in nearby Dodge City, with a population of nearly 28,000.
kind of had to jump into it."
Gunkel describes the courses offered at his high school as very basic—he didn't have the option to take a course like economics that would have been more specialized to his academic and career interests. Because his school didn't have enough student athletes to offer cross-country, tennis, soccer or other sports; his only extra-curricular choice was between playing baseball and running track in the spring.
Funding education on a per-student basis is the national standard. How to most effectively collect and distribute funding for Kansas students is still up for debate.
"Spending has to be done right," Rury said.
Rury points out that most studies show that the most effective indicator for academic success is the student's family history—especially their parents' level of education. He believes that school districts need to focus most on attracting good, dedicated teachers and making class sizes smaller.
"We're seeing history in the making with this lawsuit and what the legislature is talking about," Rury said. "They seem to be wanting to find a way around this. The current administration has a view of autonomy, the way taxes work and the government's responsibility that doesn't see additional spending on education as a desirable goal."

Mission statement lacks equality
It's gender equity something we can safely assume exists? Or is it something we must vigilantly seek until reached?
If you're the University, the former seems to be the modus operandi. Why? Because despite an underrepresented faculty in terms of gender, the University is silent on gender equity in its mission statement.
As the University seeks to transform itself through "Bold Aspirations," I suggest a more mild transformation: a commitment to gender equality and racial equality.
Albeit a token action, I would like to see the University first make a declarative commitment in addressing these issues in its mission statement.
Last week, I happened to read the statement, which articulates the University's commitment to instruction, research, service, international dimension and values.
The first sentence of the mission statement reads "The university is committed to offering the highest quality undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, comparable to the best obtainable anywhere in the nation."
And under the headline of "service", it declares, "The University first serves Kansas, then the nation and the world through research, teaching, and the preservation and dissemination of knowledge."
By David Scott
dscott@kansan.com
Throughout the document, there is no explicit or implicit commitment to gender equity. The closest the document comes to equity is a reference to equality that reads, "The University is committed to excellence. It fosters a multicultural environment in which the dignity and rights of the individual are respected." The words "foster" and "respect" don't equate to "promote" or "insure". These words merely maintain the status quo, rather than transform it. If instruction and commitment
to the state (which, oh by the way,
is 50 percent female) are priori-
ties, why is this not reflected by
the University's faculty?
We all know the University is a research I institution. That's why some on faculty can mail it in when it comes to lecturing and teaching; they're here for research.
According to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, nearly 60 percent of the faculty on the Lawrence campus is male. This is by no means equal, but it probably doesn't raise too many alarms. In comparison to students, the incoming
freshmen in 2011 consisted of 47 percent males.
The issues of equity arise in the upper echelons of faculty: Females account for 22 percent of full-professor positions, 39 percent of associate-professor position, 42 percent of assistant-professor positions and 57 percent of lecturers.
Equity is inversely related to the level of faculty position: the higher the position, the lower the equity; the lower the position; the higher the equity.
Is the University actively pursuing a more equitable and equal faculty? I don't know. It would help if such a commitment was expressed in the University's mission.
Racial equality, an idea ambiguously articulated in the University's mission, fares even worse than gender equity. Eighty-one percent of the University's faculty is white, 3.2 percent is black, 3.2 percent is Hispanic and 7.6 percent is Asian.
I'm not here, nor educated enough, to say we have a problem, but it's safe to say we have more work to do. While we seek "bold aspirations" to make our University better academically, why not also seek rather basic aspirations: gender equity and racial equality?
I convey no alarmist tone, just the fact that we can't walk around campus and think we have achieved gender equity and racial equality. These are goals we must actively pursue.
I think the first step would be to articulate commitment from the University's where it matters most: its mission statement.

TECHNOLOGY
Federal government finding new ways to spy on everyone
Attention governments everywhere: Please stop using technology to spy on us. Seriously, get your dirty hands off of my phone. Just back off.
I'm OK with the federal government wretaking—with a warrant—a known criminal to stop a crime spree, but the government's been pushing things way too far, with technology at least. As my prime example, I'd like to introduce the Department of Defense's shiny new toy: the Hummingbird.
The Hummingbird is a new Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) about to join the military's fleet. While UAVs are nothing new—I'll get to it in a minute—the Hummingbird has a very special camera that comes in it. The camera, named Argus, can shoot 1.8 gigapixels (1.8 billion pixels) of continuous footage.
By Andrew Simpson
asimpson@kansan.com
For perspective's sake, from 20,000 feet in the air, Argus can zoom in for you to spot the color of a 6-inch long object. What scares me the most is how it's actually a video camera. Combined with some clever program. Argus automatically registers and categorizes every moving object in a 25-square mile area.
The government says the Hummingbird and Argus are
going to be used in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I believe them. But it only took six years for the first generation of military UAVs to be used domestically, by private companies and the military, smack dab in the middle of the good old U.S. According to the Department of Defense, there are drones flying as close to us as Kansas State University.
Most people could argue that the drones don't pose any major threats to citizens, or they'd help catch criminals. But even the U.S. Congress is afraid of the potential these drones have to become: not just eyes in the sky, but even militarized vehicles watching from above. If the same people who let the FBI collect 100 billion of citizen's private emails a day are afraid, then you should be, too.
Speaking of FBI collecting private emails, William Binney, a former coder for the National Security Agency, decided that he wanted to talk about how several government entities are violating
vour electronic privacy.
According to Binney, the FBI has been recording emails, searches, and phone calls, and has been generating a giant social network map of every person living in the U.S., seeing which people communicate with each other. They have around 10 trillion files of personal data in store.
If you haven't committed any crime, the feds don't trash your data, they just dump it in a giant storage facility in case you ever do. They've almost run out of room apparently, because they're building a new facility that can hold 5 zettabytes of data, about 5 billion terabytes, which is quite a few terabytes.
I haven't told you all of this to make you scared or paranoid. I told you so you would get angry at the fact other people are looking at your personal lives so you're angry enough to go protest in front of the U.S. Capitol or at least angry enough to email a senator, or even Governor Brownback. Just do something about it, OK?

CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
MUMBLECORE
Sound comes first in musical value
A bandon all hope ye who enter here, you may find this column offensive. Just kidding. You probably won't. Unless you take music too seriously, which seems to happen more often than not.
Recently, my friend asked me to listen to her new favorite band. I told her I didn't like it, and her response was "but the lyrics are so good!"
Well, lyrics don't mean anything if the sound they are attached to totally sucks.
When it comes to music, people seem to put a lot of stock into how meaningful the lyrics are. That makes sense; music is the most common use of poetry in today's culture. But it's also obvious that a lot of artists aren't really trying when it comes to lyrics (see: pop music). So when I see people get angry if a friend thinks a particular song is good because the lyrics lack depth, I'm not surprised.
But I disagree with that sentiment. Music isn't about lyrics. It's all about sound.
In the moneymaking world, music's true role in society is to entertain at all costs, and to create as much revenue as possible. But today, music doesn't make as much money as it used to because of the Internet and downloading. Thus we have many pop artists creating music that focuses on sounds that sell (see: dubstep) instead of pushing the artistic limits and risking the chances of failure. So lyrics take a hit. They just aren't as important.
Music allows the listener to disappear. If you see me on campus, you'll notice I have my headphones in at all times to let the music wash over my life like a tsunami in attempt to rid myself from the monotonous grind of my last semester of college. I truly do "disappear here" when I press play.
Don't believe me? Take Nirvana for instance. The Godfather of Grunge, Kurt
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Cobain, sang lyrics many listeners could not understand—so much so that music comedian Weir Al Yankovic made fun of him for it in his parody of "Smells Like Teens Spirit." The point is, Cobain sang his lyrics to sound its best with the music, rather than making sure the listener actually understood what he was saying. The meaning came after the sound. It was left to the listener to decipher.
So when I ask someone, "Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?" I don't expect said person to tell me the lyrics to "Hip to be Square" are a reference the massive conformity movement of the '80s that Huey Lewis seems to believe existed. Instead I expect them to say, "Yeah, it's pretty catchy!"
Don't get me wrong, I respect and love songs with lyrics that have meaning, depth and a true message. But you would never listen to a song that had all those things in its lyrics but then didn't sound attractive to your ear. You only notice the lyrics after you've already decided the song sounds good.
Lyrics are important, but they come second to sound. And that will always be true.
You may disagree with that, but if you ask my punk-rock side, I'd tell you to deal with it. Rock and roll.

'Side Effects'suspenseful
If there's one thing Steven Soderbergh enjoys more than his star-studded ensemble casts and the burnished glow of his beloved RED camera, it's threatening to retire from filmmaking.
Since the release of his 2011 plague procedural "Contagion," the director of "Traffic" and the "Ocean's Eleven" series has vowed to abandon his craft on several occasions, each time citing the difficulties of financing original projects in Hollywood and the creative malaise of the film industry in general, which he sees as an inferior animal compared to long-form televised narratives like "Breaking Bad" and David Fincher's Netflix-only political potboiler "House of Cards."
I personally hope he never makes good on his threat, because "Side Effects", Soderbergh's newest and purportedly final big screen project, is also this year's first solid argument against the inferiority of mainstream cinema. Here, at long last, is a quality motion picture, a clinically observed, morally dubious psychodrama that piles on the twists without pulling any dramatic punches. It continues Channing Tatum's post-"21 Jump Street" ascension into the realm of credible acting while allowing Rooney Mara (Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") room to develop as a character far removed from the glowering glamour of Lisbeth Salander.
Scott Z. Burns's screenplay, a thematic fusion of Hitchcock and "Repulsion" era Polanski, revolves around Emily (Mara), a timid, emotionally frail woman struggling to reconnect with her husband Martin (Tatum), a Wall Street wunderkind turned professional pariah following a four-year stint in prison for insider
By Landon McDonald
lmeddonald@kansan.com
After a series of self-destructive fantasies lead to a very real car crash, Emily starts seeing Dr. Banks (Jude Law), a prominent big city psychiatrist who, after realizing the cash-strapped woman won't be able to afford his hourly fee, offers to treat her with Abixa, a newly produced, largely untested antidepressant the good doctor is being paid to prescribe. Because we wouldn't have a movie otherwise, Emily agrees and all hell gradually breaks loose.
The story I've just described may seem familiar, even hackneyed in its Big Pharma-baiting premise, but please understand I'm only skimming the surface of a fluid labyrinth churning with deeper currents of lust, treachery and the alarming notion that when it comes to murder, pre-medicated can pass for premeditated. To go into further detail would be a great disservice to the viewer, so I'll limit myself to complimenting the performers and Soderberghi's polished, economical direction.
Jude Law, who suffered a bout of overexposure after appearing in seemingly every movie circa 2004, has recovered admirably and now stands as one of my favorite working actors. His Dr. Banks is a study in barely concealed misanthropy, a smirking elistit disguised as a genial sympathizer. Then, with the character's every hypocrisy seemingly
exposed, another layer is revealed,
throwing the audience through the first of many dizzying ethical loops.
His scenes with Catherine Zeta-Jones, playing Emily's slinky exshrink, are especially memorable.
Another performance of note comes from Ann Dowd, who wowed critics last year as the brainwashed fast food manager in "Compliance." Here she plays Martin's mother, a fierce protector who refuses to let her daughter-in-law's deteriorating mental health stand in the way of her little boy's happiness. Her final scene with Emily is a tempered crescendo, teeming with equal parts rage and regret. One of the film's few flaws is not finding more screentime for this extraordinary character actress, a Soderbergh veteran who appeared alongside Matt Damon in 2009's corporate espionage comedy "The Informant."
Soderbergh frames every shot in the movie with a methodical eye for harnessing atmosphere, using it as a whestone for sharpening suspense. If "Side Effects" ends up being the director's swan song, it's a fitting farewell, a celebration of his precise, even-keel approach to so many different genres.
All speculation aside, though, I doubt we've seen the last of Soderbergh. After all, in the two years since announcing his supposedly imminent retirement, the man shot and released no less than four films, including "Haywire" and the extremely profitable "Magic Mike". Filmmaking, like any powerful drug, can be a difficult habit to break.

INDIGOISM
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Hip-hop duo The Underachievers released their new album, "Indigoism," on Feb. 1.
Underachievers disappoint fans
CALVIN WHITNEY
cwhitney@kansan.com
Brooklyn hip-hop duo The Underachievers has been riding the wave of its internet hype for the better half of a year by uploading music videos for tracks like "Gold Soul Theory." Its material shows early signs of a classic, "Indigoism" was finally released on Jan. 21 via Brainfeeder, a record label founded by Flying Lotus, who has been doing his share of feeding their hype through Twitter and his record contract and by offering The Underachievers a record deal.
Being part of the whole Beast Coast movement, with the likes of Flatbush Zombies, Joey Bada$$ and all of Pro Era, its music shares a similar identity. One of the highlights of the mixtape, "Herb Shuttles," really sums up the attitude of the tape, in terms of being lyrically dense and providing soulful instrumentals: "This that indigo anthem / Fly like passports, no randoms / Searchin' for that purpose, merged with / A little bit of piece of mind on this earth, b****."
Other hyped single include
"T.A.D.E.D.", "So Devilish", "The Mahdi" and they each have that nostalgic east coast vipaired with great, modern production. Aside from the expected great tracks, some of the other material seems to be really lacking. At times, it feels rehashed or from other solid material, almost like a move to save certain material for a formal debut.
Either way, after months of anticipation, it is slightly disappointing.
That being said, the 17-track track itaps has a few new gems. Final track "Play Your Part" showcases Issa Dash and AK's clean flow over an even smoother beat and opening track "Philanthropist" really prepares the listener for what's to come.

Online shopping is the way to go
FASHION
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
With many students relying on stores on Massachusetts Street for clothing, we often find ourselves wearing the same stuff as everyone else. The closest malls are a good distance away, and sometimes finding things that no one else will have can be tough. This is where online shopping saves the day.
Many are wary of what they believe to be a risky concept, and it can be. However, it can also be one of the best ways to buy if you know the right way to do it.
There are many do's and don'ts of online shopping. First and foremost, make sure you're familiar with the return and shipping policies of the websites you're buying
from. Great sites will always have free shipping, good sites will have a minimum of $50 or so, and sites you should stay away from are those that always charge for shipping. Unless you find something you absolutely can't live without, don't pay for it to get to you. Also, many online stores will provide you with the return label if you don't like what you ordered. This is key. If you're going to be ordering online often, you've got to accept that sometimes the item is just not going to work out. Be sure that you won't have to pay the price for that, and that you'll be able to return it hassle free with no charge.
Secondly, the discounts you will get shopping online are endless. Be sure to sign up for newsletters for all your favorite stores. Yes, it
may crowd your inbox, but you'll be surprised with how many 20 percent off codes and sales you'll be alerted of. It will definitely be worth the email spam. I also like to add items to my "wish list" and keep an eye on them for a few days. You'll be surprised to see how often prices go up and down in a short amount of time.
Now on to my secret weapon: Ebates.com. This site works with thousands of stores such as Nordstrom and Nike. By logging into the site prior to purchasing online, a percentage of your money will be sent back to you. The amount is typically small, but if you're shopping online often, it adds up quickly. The site also alerts you of promo codes and sales, and when I joined, I was given a $10
gift card to Target. It may sound unreliable, but the site has worked wonders for me and my online shopping addiction.
The best places to find trendy clothing that you won't find anywhere near Lawrence are ASOS.com and Nastygal.com (creepy name, great clothes). Even stores that are nearby are good to try online, too. Many times, places will offer deals through their websites but not in their actual stores. Before you click "check out," always be sure that you've googled prom codes as well. Great deals are everywhere; you've just got to find them.

FILM
Movie makeup artist leaves behind legacy
LONDON — Stuart Freeborn, a pioneering movie makeup artist behind creatures such as Yoda and Chewbacca in the "Star Wars" films, has died. He was 98.
LucasFilm confirmed Wednesday that Freeborn had passed away, "leaving a legacy of unforgettable contributions."
"Star Wars" director George Lucas said in a statement that Freeborn was "already a makeup legend" when he started working on "Star Wars."
"He brought with him not only decades of experience, but boundless creative energy," Lucas said. "His artistry and craftsmanship will live on forever in the characters he created. His 'Star Wars' creatures may be reinterpreted in new forms by new generations, but at their heart, they continue to be what Stuart created for the original films."
He will likely be best remembered for his work on "Star Wars"—creating characters such as the 7-foot-tall wookie Chewbacca and the slug-like Jabba the Hutt.
LucasFilm said that Irwin Kershner, who directed "The Empire Strikes Back," would "note that Freeborn quite literally put himself into Yoda, as the Jedi master's inguitive and mischievous elfin features had more than a passing resemblance to Freeborn himself." (Yoda's looks were also said to be partly inspired by Albert Einstein.)

COMMENTARY
Ellis important player for team
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Kansas basketball has many players vital to its success. Jeff Withey is the interior or protector issuing a Gandalfian "you shall not pass!" to any player brave enough to challenge him. Ben McLemore shows more athleticism putting on his socks every morning than you or I could show in an entire game. Travis Releford is the lockdown perimeter defender, notably causing Baylor's Brady Heslip and Kansas State's Rodney McGruder to form a "Big 12 Guards Against Travis Releford" support group. A poor performance by Elijah Johnson, as shown in the Oklahoma State game, can be the difference between a win or a loss. However, one player who does not get as much attention, yet will be almost as vital to our success going forward, is freshman forward Perry Ellis.
Bill Self's offenses have always thrived when he has a post player who can attract attention and create his own shot. Thomas Robinson, often through sheer muscle rather than precise post moves, was a focal point of the Jayhawk offense last year. When the ball did not see his capable hands enough, Self let the other players know.
Robinson was also able to draw double teams. The ability to draw double teams is almost as important as the ability to score when guarded one-on-one. Robinson would either utilize his chemistry with Withey to get Withey an open shot under the basket or pass the ball back to the perimeter. The defense would then have to shift, and as long as Kansas' ball movement was quicker than the defensive shifts, a player would get an open shot.
This offense was highly effective using the Morris twins to this effect, as that was how Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar got many of their baskets. Same with Darrell Arthur feeding the guards on the national championship team.
Right now the Jayhawks don't have a player in the post who commands defensive attention which means the perimeter is often clogged. Withe, while polished defensively, is still learning offensively. Often, his post moves resemble the kind of dance moves you would see at a high school prom. Kevin Young, the undisputed Energizer Bunny of the team, doesn't provide much offense other than lay-ups and dunks, though there is potential for more.
Ellis could be that player who provides the scoring punch the Jayhawks need in the post. Although there is no statistic regarding shots that rim in-and-out per 40 minutes Ellis, must be near the lead. That could change with a little more strength, giving him more physical control over where he places the ball, and a little more confidence, giving him more mental control. He needs to develop a fade-away over either shoulder and a 15-foot jumper, but Ellis has more natural scoring ability than any other post on this team, and it's not really that close. If he can become a scorer and attract double teams then Self's currently struggling offense could turn the corner.
It's a lot of pressure to put on a freshman, but Ellis knew the stakes when he came to Kansas. The team needs him for its offense to reach the next level.

No. 5 Kansas loses to bottom-of-the-Big 12 TCU
COLUMBIA DIVISION
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAI
Coach Bill Sell rubs his face in frustration during Wednesday, Feb. 6 game against Texas Christian University at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum in Fort Worth, TX where Kansas was defeated 62-55. This is Kansas' 'second consecutive loss in the Big 12.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
FORT WORTH, Texas — The Kansas basketball team knows how to take one loss.
It happens every year. The Jayhawks drop a game here or there to one of the other contending teams in their conference. Maybe even one to a tough non-conference opponent.
But when the Jayhawks walked off the court on Wednesday night after the 62-5 upset victory by the Horned Frogs, none of the players knew what to feel.
This was Kansas' first group of consecutive losses in 264 games. That dates back to the 2005-2006, when most of these players were still making up the ranks of their respective high school teams.
The Horned Frogs came into the game winless in the conference and struggling, but in the end, they controlled the game from start to finish.
"It was the worst team that Kansas has ever put on the floor since Dr. Naismith was there, " coach Bill Self said.
For Kansas, it came down to execution on offense with the guard play struggling once again.
In the first half, coach Self threw senior guard Elijah Johnson, sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe and even freshman guard Rio Adams at the point guard during portions of the first 20 minutes.
What also led to the Jayhawks' dismay in this game was the inability to make easy shots around the basket, missing several layups. They finished the game with a season low-29.5 percent shooting.
In addition, the team went 3-22 from 3-point range, their worst percentage since the 1988-89 season when they started keeping records.
"It was a bad shooting night, but also, we're not very tough," Self said. "We kind of doubt or quit being aggressive, and certainly, there's a lot of that going on."
At this point, Kansas has become vulnerable after losing to the worst team in the conference statistically.
"The reality is we've allowed everybody the opportunity to believe that they can beat us" Self said. "And they should. We've opened up that flood gate."
One player who continued to play at a solid level was senior center Jeff Withey, who did his best to stay physical on the block. Withey still managed to put together a decent night with 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
"Now we just got to get tough and go hard in practice and figure out what's going wrong and nip that in the butt," Withey said. "We're still a great team. We still have a great chance to win the conference, and hopefully, win the Tournament, that's our goal."
One of the other main contributors on the night for Kansas was senior forward Kevin Young. Despite being benched for freshman forward Perry Ellis to start the game, Young displayed his normal ability to contribute with six points and nine rebounds.
Still, Young knows this was an embarrassing loss for his team and it's partly his responsibility to get back on track so this can still be a successful season.
"We just need to look in the mirror, and we need to change," he said. "This can't keep going on. We all know that. As a senior, and speaking for the other seniors, we're going to do everything to change it."
There was a lot of embarrassment to go around for the jayhawks, but losing a game like this goes deeper than this year's team.
More than anything, this game was shameful for Kansas tradition, for Dr. Naismith, which is something that cannot be said very often.
Kansas basketball has historically been able to recover from tough losses and not lose to teams that will hurt its NCAA seeding when the committee looks at them in March.

"There's a lot of great names that wore this jersey before us," Young said, "and to come out and play like this today, we embarrassed ourselves and embarrassed them."

NATHAN FORDYCE

Facing the No.1 team in the nation as an underdog always has the possibility of getting uuly.
And ugly it got for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The Lady Bears cruised to victory with a 86-45 win over the Jayhawks. The 41-point loss is the fourth-largest in school history for the Jayhawks.
Traveling to Waco, Texas, the Jayhawks faced off against the No.1 Baylor Bears in a rematch of the 82-60 victory by the Lady Bears on Jan. 13. And on Wednesday night the Lady Bears weren't looking past the Jayhawks in the midseason Big 12 match up.
Baylor didn't have any trouble getting its shots whether it was in the paint or behind the arc. On the game, the Lady Bears shot 56.7 percent from the field which is the best performance thus far by a Jayhawk opponent.
On the flip-side the Jayhawks had a rough time. Sophomore guard CeCe Harper led the way with 11 points on 4-of-15 shooting. The only other Jayhawk to score in double figures was sophomore forward Asia Boyd, who scored 10 points off the bench.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the team had trouble with the pressure of Baylor.
"We weren't as aggressive," Henrickson said. "We got a little anxious and honestly we didn't
shoot the ball well. We got some good looks that we knocked down and then some were rushed and that's exactly what they do."
The Jayhawks shot a seasonlow 27.7 percent from the field. The starting five of Harper, Angel Goodrich, Monica Engelman, Chelsea Gardner and Carolyn Davis shot 13-of-45 from field for just 30 points.
Goodrich, a senior guard, went just 1-of-9 from the floor and had six turnovers to four assists. Davis, a senior forward, had trouble downlow as she went just 3-of-12 from the field for six points and added eight rebounds. Davis failed to reach double-figures for the first time in the past 12 games.
Lady Bears' senior center and reigning national player of the year Brittney Griner had a game-high 26 points on 11-of-20 shooting. She also added 13 rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
Griner's teammates Brooklyn Pope, Kimetria Hayden and Odyssey Sims all scored in double-figures as they went 17-of-26 from the floor.
The loss by the lajhawks gave the Lady Bears their 19th- straight victory as they improved to 21-1 on the season. Kansas fell to .500 in Big 12 play and 14-7 on the season.
Not only did the loss drop the Jayhawks to the .500 mark it also gave them seven-straight losses in Waco against the Lady Bears.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
q. Who are the two players to have better shooting performances with at least 14 attempts?
A: Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard
—ESPN.com
Lebron makes shooting 92.9 percent look unimpressive
Lebron James is amazing. He is allisy is. I mean think about it. The guy has won three of the past four MVPs, he is the reigning Finals MVP, and he puts up a consistent stat line that looks like me when I get done playing NBA 2K13. Although some people are afraid to admit it, he will go down as one of the best players the league has ever seen. He recently showed everyone why he seems to always impress us.
You see, I am a numbers guy. I think statistics are the best representation of how a player is able to affect the game. Sort of like Eljah Johnson's amazing 1.5:1 assist to turnover ratio. Did you catch the sarcastic drift? On Monday night versus the Charlotte Bobcats, James scored 31 points and went an astonishing 13-14 from the field, while shooting a career high 92.9 percent.
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
Like I said, I am a numbers guy. However, I believe how one obtains their numbers truly defines how good a player really is. For example, when I saw that James shot 13-14 for the night, I said to myself, "Wow! That is really impressive." And when I saw the highlights on SportsCenter, I said to myself, "Wow! That is not impressed."
Now do not get me wrong, Lebron
James is a great player and there really is no way of stopping him. But what a box score does not show is what kind of shots a player takes. On Monday night's game, he only averaged 2.64 feet per shot. He made nine field goals that were within two feet, and the furthest shot he attempted was only five feet away.
If James would have taken actual contested jumpers, or maybe even some three-pointers, then I would have been fairly impressed with his shooting percentage. Even though he still finished with a well-rounded game by pulling down eight rebounds and distributing eight assists, I am restrained from giving him the kudos for his accomplishment, because of his shot selection.
Keep in mind, Lebron James is probably one of the, if not the, most highly praised player in the NBA today. So for
KU
ESPN to publicize that this was the greatest shooting night of his career, his ego will only go up from here. But is someone with an ego that high through the roof really that impressive?

Signing day spells defensive improvement
FOOTBALL
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Kansas coach Charlie Weis went into signing day with 11 guaranteed commits and gained 14 more on Wednesday. The Jayhawks have 25 signees and one walk-on, giving them a total of 26 recruits.
Weis will work with his 18 junior college transfers, and he's excited to see the players work together. With two defensive linemen and four defensive backs graduating from the 2012 squad, several starting spots on defense will be up for grabs. Kansas may see some of its junior college transfers start and make an impact right away.
"You could have a whole bunch of starters coming out of that
group," Weis said. "I think that so many of those guys on defense are going to be playing. Personnelwise, the overall on defense is going to be dramatic. I think it's going to be solid for years."
Among the 26 recruits, defensive lineman Maruel Combs is the biggest name. Coming out of Pierce College, Combs is the No.1 rated junior college prospect in the country by ESPN. Kansas also recruited defensive lineman Chris Martin from City College of San Francisco. Both Combs and Martin are tabbed as four-star players, according to Rivals.com and ESPN.
Although Weis is thrilled to have two high-rated players in Combs and Martin, player ratings are the last thing on his mind. He's more eager to see all 26 of his recruits put on pads and helmets with a Jayhawk uniform on top.
"There's so many of them," Weis said. "It really wouldn't do justice to single out anyone. Each and every one of these kids right here, I'm happy we have."
The five defensive linemen and four defensive backs recruited are all junior college transfers. One of those includes returning junior cornerback Dexter McDonald, who played last year with Butler Community College. Weis sees McDonald's second stint as a Jayhawk being a more memorable one with plenty of opportunities for him in 2013.
some," Weis said. "He has a greater appreciation for where the program is right now and really believes that he can contribute both on and off the field."
Weis said with this recruiting class, it allows the defense to work with quarter and dime packages after being limited last year with the defensive backs.
"I think he's been humbled
Overall, Weis is hopeful that this recruiting class can improve the defense and help Kansas move into the right direction after winning only one game last season.
Kansas opens up its 15-practice spring schedule on March 5. The annual Spring Game will take place on April 13.

Closer look at the Jayhawk recruits
Jordan Darling
Sorian Darling
QB, 6-4, 226, FR, Overland
Park, Kan. / Shawnee Mission
Fact
Jordan Darling is the top rated Pro-style quarterback in the state of Kansas. Darling played in four different high schools in four years because his mom is in the military. Despite moving around so much, Darling is the only quarterback in high school history to pass for more than 1,000 yards in three different states (Ohio, Texas and Kansas) and to win in four different states (Missouri, Ohio, Texas and Kansas).
Montell Cozart
QB, 6-2, 180, FR, Kansas City,
Mo. / Bishop Miege
Kansas offensive line coach Tim Grunhard coached Montell Cozart at Bishop Miege for three years. After Grunhard's departure, Cozart played for Jon Holmes last year. Cozart now reunites with Grunhard in Lawrence. Cozart, a three-star quarterback, led Bishop Miege to the Class 5A State Football Championship in 2012. He threw for 2,759 yards and 25 touchdowns while rushing for 626 yards and five touchdowns during his senior year.

Weis is elated to have Rodriguez Coleman in Kansas. Coleman was one of the top junior college receivers after he had in 70 receptions for 1,055 yards at Garden City Community College.
Weis said he was surprised that Andrew Bolton was ranked 91st and thinks he plays better than a 91st rated junior college player. He will help add strong depth at the line.

Ty McKinney was set to join the football program in 2012, but his summer semester ended late and will make his debut as a Jayhawk in 2013.
As a senior, Kellen Ash had 13 sacks and one senior. Weis said he liked him from the beginning and he is the type of defender teams need in the Big 12.

Travis Releford, senior guard
Releford contributed very little to the Jayhawks' offense, missing his only field goal attempt and converting one of two free throws for his only point of the game. His team-high four assists was his only redeeming stat before fouling out after 36 minutes of action.

SCORING DROUGHT
Javhawks' inability to make baskets leads to blindside loss to Horned Frogs
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
It's hard to understate how horrible Kansas' first half was Wednesday night at TCU in its 62-55 loss to the Horned Frogs.
A Jayhawk guard didn't make a field goal the entire first half, and Kansas only made three shots the entire half. It's not that TCU's defense was smothering, as Kansas found a way to get open looks in the first half. Getting the ball in the basket was another story.
Kansas didn't score until freshman forward Jamari Trayler made a short jumper with 12:42 left in the first half. Kansas didn't score again until 6:06 remained in the half when senior center Jeff Withey made two free throws.
Withey also made Kansas' second field goal. It didn't come until 4:29 remained in the half.
So to recap, Kansas started the game with a 7:18 field goal drought then followed that up with an 8:13 field goal drought. Senior forward Kevin Young made Kansas' final field goal, a layup, with 3:15 left in the half.
The Jayhawks made seven free throws in the first half, leaving them with 13 total points in the first half. Since the NCAA began tracking the stat in 1988-1989, it was Kansas' fewest points ever in a half. The second-worse total was 18 points against Iowa State in 1999.
Kansas turned the ball over eight times in the first half. Although the
Horned Frogs only scored seven points off of the turnovers, the Jayhawks couldn't afford to waste that many possessions with their offense being so stagnant.
However, the Jayhawks still found themselves very much in the ballgame at halftime, because the Horned Frogs only mustered 22 points. TCU has struggled scoring all season and averages only 54.1 points per game.
If it were any other Big 12 team, the game could have been over by halftime. The Jayhawks benefitted from the Horned Frogs' poor play, although it still didn't match Kansas' debacle.
TCU only made one jumper in the game's first six minutes, leaving the door open for Kansas to take control of the game. But six of Kansas' eight first-half turnovers came in the game's first seven minutes before Traylor got Kansas on the board.
TCU entered the game with an 0-8 Big 12 record in its first season in the conference. Of those eight conference losses, the closest one was a 62-53 loss to Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks made their first three shots of the second half, equaling their first half output less than four minutes into the second half. While Kansas scored 42 points in the second half, the lack of first half production doomed them to their first consecutive losses in 264 games. The most recent occurrence was Jan. 14 and 16, 2006, when Kansas State and Missouri beat the Jayhawks.

FIRST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
12:42 Jamari Traylor scores Kansas' first points of the game on a short jump after TCU held Kansas scoreless for more than seven minutes. (8-2 TCU)
1:19  - Kevin Young makes Kansas' seventh and final free throw of the half, capping a 7-0 Kansas run, in the most generous sense of the term. (20-13 TCU)
1. 09 - Nate Butler Lind converts a layup to close out the half's limited amount of scoring. (22-13 TCU)
SECOND HALF
3:36 - Garlon Green appears to travel before making a jumper, but the officials instead call a foul on Travis Releford. Green makes the free throw. (49-40 TCU)
0:36 - Elijah Johnson makes his second 3-pointer to briefly close TCU's lead. However, Johnson's turnover on the previous possession meant it was still a two-possession game. (58-53 TCU)
**0:33** - Kyan Anderson converts two free throws to effectively end Kansas' comeback hopes. (60-53 TCU)

KANSAS TIPOFF
ku
AT A GLANCE
Kansas travels to Oklahoma with a one-game lead in the Big 12 over instate rival Kansas State. Coach Bill Self has said that senior guard Elijah Johnson is his guy and he's sticking with him. Until something different happens on the court, expect Johnson to be running the point guard position. Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey are both contenders for Big 12 Player of the Year, but there's still nine games to go before they head to Kansas City.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Andrew White Ill, guard
His six points
in six skirts in one minute of action raised eyebrows from all the Jayhawk faithful. White is a talented player who continues to get better, but at the moment
White III
,there's a log jam at his guard position (see Travis Releford and Ben McLemore). White will continue to garner more playing time, and as he showed against Oklahoma State, can step up late in a game even if he is coming off the bench cold.
Will Naadir Tharpe's roll off the bench increase?
QUESTION MARK
Bill Self made it clear that Elijah Johnson will be his starting point guard go forward. Tharpe is Kansas' best handler and may be able to help distribute the ball and create some more options for the Jayhawks.

STARTERS
At the moment, Elijah Johnson is in a funk, to the say the least. He's tried everything to get out of that funk, but the only way he knows how to get out of it is to just play. Throughout his career, Johnson has shown flashes of brilliance including the NCAA title game run from last season. He's just not a true point guard and is being asked to play that position. Johnson will continue to try hard, but the more he plays and the less he thinks, the old Elijah will come back.

★★★☆☆
DANIEL M. TAYLOR
BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
Releford
The man from St. Louis continues to shine even when he's not being as aggressive as the coaching staff would like. However, he still on pace to break Danny Manning's freshman record of 14.6 ppg. McLemore is a gifted talent who plays within the flow of the game. At times, he's too unseafish, but this year, he's progressively gotten better at finding the time to step up when the moment's right. Look for another big game from Air McLemore.
The fifth-year senior has been steady as they come for the Jayhawks. He's a good defender, attacks the rim when necessary and has a solid basketball IQ that allows him to make big plays for Kansas. Releford is the senior leader the Jayhawks will ride throughout the season and rightfully so. He understands his position on this team and will do whatever he can to help Kansas make a deep run in March.
★★★★
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Nassim Mousa
Young
★★★★
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD
You're always going to get something interesting out of Kevin Young. Whether it's a steal, a good set on defense or finishing on the other end of an alley-oop, Young is one of those energy guys that every team loves to have, especially when offensive struggles continue to happen. Young's not the most talented player, but he works hard and can come up big in certain moments. Look for Young to be an integral role player for this team in Norman.
★★★☆☆
Withey is on the verge of being remembered as one of the most prolific shot blockers in Kansas history. He's athletic for his size at 7-feet tall and changes the dynamic of any opponent of the Jayhawks. Withey continues to get better as each game passes into the season despite getting roughed up by some of the big men in the Big 12. However, Withey will remain a big time contender for some major national awards down the stretch.

BUDDY HIELD, GUARD
Hield
A little experience has gone a long way for Hield. The freshman is averaging nearly 10 points per game in Big 12 play, but it may have come at the cost of his rebounding. Since grabbing 10 boards against Kansas State on Jan. 19 he hasn't been able to grab more than five.
★★☆☆☆
STEVEN PLEDGER, GUARD
Considering Oklahoma's starters each played about 30 minutes in Lawrence, it's fair to say the same recipe will be used in Norman. That formula also centers on the need for Pledger to produce. He also hasn't done much since putting up 20 against Baylor.
Pledger
★★★☆☆
JE'LON HORNBEAK. GUARD
It hasn't been an easy go for Hornbeak since scoring just one point against Kansas. He's seen his playing time drop below the 20 minute mark in the last few games and hasn't done much with the time he's had. Five points in three games isn't going to help.
C. B. KENNEDY
★★☆☆
Hornbeak
AMATH M'BAYE. FORWARD
M'Baye was the biggest factor last time around. Twelve points, seven rebounds, a steal and he was perfect at the line. At 6-foot-9, he can be disruptive in the paint, but hasn't put up notable numbers since scoring 20 against Baylor last week.
★★★☆★
M.
M'Baye
ROMERO OSBY. FORWARD
Last time Oklahoma matched up with Kansas, Osby wasn't the biggest factor, but he was certainly the second biggest. His 12 points and six rebounds helped keep the Jayhawks from pulling away, but four foul hindered his play near the end of the game.
★★★☆☆
Osby
OKLAHOMA TIPOFF
OU
AT A GLANCE
The Sooners wouldn't let Kansas pull away in Lawrence until the final moments on January, 26th. No one was expecting the Jayhawks to roll Oklahoma but it seems OU may still be exhausted from the playing in Allen Fieldhouse. The Sooners have dropped two of their last three games and have seen their production on offense and defense fall too.
Fitzgerald
PLAYER TO WATCH
Fitzgerald
Andrew Fitzgerald, forward
The senior earned his first start Monday at Iowa State and led the team with 12 points and seven rebounds. However, he played only 18 minutes because of foul
trouble and eventually fouled out, only the second Sooner to do so this year. If he mimics his Monday offensive production against Kansas, it could help offset a possible poor shooting night from one of the other Oklahoma forwards.
QUESTION MARK
Oklahoma's top three scorers, Osby, M'Baye and Pledger, have combined to shoot less than 40 percent from the field in Oklahoma's past four games. Those figures include the Baylor game, an outlier from the other three games, when the three combined to shoot 20-31 from the field. Oklahoma's other starters are freshman and don't have the scoring touch the Sooners' top three do. Kansas leads the nation in opponent field goal percentage at 35.4 percent, so Oklahoma's scorers need to be on for it to have a shot to take down Kansas.
Will the Sooners' shooting show up?

PREDICTION:
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks' show some confidence in their ball handling. If there's consistent point guard play from Elijah Johnson and Naadir Tharpe, then the Jayhawks will be able to get back on track and play with much more confidence. It's not going to be a perfect fit with Johnson or Tharpe, but if they can stop turning the ball over, Kansas will have a much easier time winning in Norman.

The Sooners score off of second-chance points. The Jayhawks' defense figures to be good enough to keep any of the Sooners from dominating offensively the way Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart and Markel Brown did last Saturday against Kansas. But they also must keep the Sooners from gifting second-chance points from offensive rebounds. Oklahoma is a better offensive rebounding team than the Cowboys were. The Sooners could use the same formula Oklahoma State did to upset Kansas.

The Kansas men and women track and field squads will take part in three different meets this Friday and Saturday, including the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa, and the Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash.
"All of our competition is progressing fast and I think our athletes are really adapting to that," said coach Stanley Redwine. "It's not just an issue anymore of how we are performing compared to last year; it's how well we're progressing compared to our competition, and I think we'll continue to see that."
The women's team is having one of its best weeks in recent memory after a strong performance at the Armory Collegiate Invitational last weekend in New York. On
Tuesday, the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) ranked the women the No. 1 team in the country after spending the first few weeks of the indoor season at No.2.
On Monday, horizontal jumper Andrea Geubelle was named Division I National Athlete of the Week by the USTFCCCA. On Wednesday, Geubelle received yet another award when she was named Big 12 Female Athlete of the Week.
Of the women's team being ranked No. 1, Redwine said, "The athletes are definitely excited and we want to keep that excitement, but we also need to make them understand that the target on our back is even larger. We need to continue to compete to the best of our ability and hopefully the recognition will keep coming."
On the men's side, the distance medley team of Brendan Soucte,
Drew Matthews, Nick Seckfort and Josh Munsch ran a season-best time of 9:46.92 in New York, ranking them 11th in the nation. Kyle Clemons now holds the school record in the 500-meters after his time of 1:01.32, and pole vaulter Alex Bishop is ranked in the top-16 in the nation.
With the Big 12 Indoor Championships just two weeks away and the NCAA Indoor Championships just a month away, both the men and women's teams will look to improve this weekend in its last weekend of competition before those two meets.
"We're looking for everyone to keep getting better as the season progresses," Redwine said. "As we train harder, the performances have continued to get better. We're excited about where we are, but know we haven't hit our ceiling yet."

The Kansas swimming and diving team, 5-4 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12, will compete against conference rival Iowa State (5-4, 0-0), at home Friday and Saturday. The two-day dual meet will be the last meet for both teams before the Big 12 Championship at the end of the month.

The teams will compete in the same events as a regular dual meet, but the events will be spread over two days. This format is to help the teams prepare for the conference championship, which will be held over four days.

Kansas faces Iowa State at 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday in Robinson Natatorium, Kansas is coming off of a home loss to Arkansas and Iowa State is coming off of wins to Nebraska-Omaha and Northern Iowa.
This time around, look for Iowa State sophomore Sarah Deis to have a strong performance in the freestyle races and sophomore Dani Harris to continue her strong finishes in the backstroke. For Kansas, look for senior Brooke Brul, junior Alison Mofitt and Molden to turn in strong races. Also look for senior diver Christy Cash to continue to have success off the board. Both teams hope to use this last meet as a tune-up for the Big 12 Championship.
Morgan Sharp, junior Alison Lusk, freshman Haley Molden and freshman Bryce Hinde. Iowa State was led by sophomore Amanda Paulson and freshman Marissa Engel.
"The sport of swimming is a peaking sport," Head Coach Clark Campbell said. "You are trying to peak for a high performance. For us, it's Big 12s at the end of February. For us to improve right now is increasing the quality of our training, meaning more training at race pace and improving our skills—starts, turns, finishes, that type of thing—and that will help us peak."

IN BILL WE TRUST.
I pledge allegiance to the Jayhawks From the University of Kansas And to the tradition for which they stand. One team, under Self, With dedication and motivation BEWARE OF THE PHOG.
PAT STRATHMAN
WELL, THE UNTHINKABLE FINALLY HAPPENED.
A backflip in Allen Fieldhouse indicated a 33-game home winning streak was over. Two different courts stormed by ravenous students.
Those brief highlights summarized the type of week the Kansas lahwahs have experienced.
Team meetings behind closed doors and a late-game defensive switch in Saturday's loss to Oklahoma couldn't prevent a three-game losing skid that hasn't been seen since 2005 when the Jayhawks lost to Texas Tech, Iowa State and Oklahoma.
And now, questions continue to surround the Kansas squad.
A team left blindside from the unthinkable streak. A team left hunting to regain its swagger.
The streak has fans searching for the same Kansas team that once beat Ohio State on the road. Fans look for the same team that once was No. 2 in the nation.
At this moment, both players and fans stare directly at the possibility of losing four consecutive games for the first time since 1988-89, when the lavhawks lost eight straight.
To make matters worse, Kansas will have to best its perennial annoying sibling to stop the streak: Kansas State.
Yes, Kansas has been dominant against Kansas
State. The Jayhawks have won 45 of the last 48 meetings dating back to the 1994 season.
Still, the Jayhawks aren't in the driver's seat of the Big 12. Rather, the annoying sibling has taken hold of the wheel.
Unlike Kansas, the Wildcats are quietly on a four-game winning streak. Those victories now have Kansas State on top of the Big 12 standings. More importantly, the Wildcats will most likely be ranked higher than the Javahawks.
Just like a little brother (even though Kansas State is technically older), Wildcat fans constantly let the big brother know when they are on top.

Student wins trip to LA for Grammy Awards
EMILY DONOVAN

A trip to rub ebibs with the biggest names in the music industry was not what Shelby Lewis had expected when she first plucked her harp.
Lewis, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo. studying music education, was one of a handful of student musicians selected to attend the Grammys on an all-expenses-paid trip this weekend. The floor level was reserved for the famous faces: Taylor Swift, Adèle, Beyoncé Lewis sat directly above them, in a suite box in the middle of the mezanine, rubbing elbows with music producers and businessmen, at the 2013 Grammy Awards last night.
"The biggest dream I ever had in my life is about to come true," Lewis said a few days before her pre-paid flight to Los Angeles.
Out of several hundred applicants, Lewis and 24 other students from the Kansas City metro area were selected to participate in the Grammy Museum's Music Revolution Project last summer, a month-long pilot program headed by Bob Santelli, the executive director of the Grammy Museum in LA. At an event publicizing their collaborative CD release and the Grammy Museum Experience at the Sprint Center, the president and CEO of the world's largest entertainment company asked the students if they'd like a trip to LA to watch the Grammy Awards in person.
tape showing her breadth with the harp: a classical sonata and an instrumental adaptation of "Your Song" by Elton John.
While she normally plays classical harp, Lewis likes to experiment by covering a wide range of artists, from The Beatles to Lady Gaga's "Telephone." Recently, she's taken to singing while playing jazz.
Lewis heard about the opportunity through a newsletter from the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Mo. She mailed in an audition
In high school, Lewis would come home from school to play Grace, her six-foot-tall Venus harp, and pluck comfortably at its 46 strings, keeping different rhythms with each hand, working its six peddles with both feet and chatting conversationally with her mother Maria.
"It always came very naturally for her," her mother said.
Lewis's parents had her pegged to become a musician since she was a baby. When she was three years old, her mom took her to see the Kansas City Ballet's annual performance of "The Nutcracker." To explain where the music came from, Maria took Shelly down to inspect the orchestra pit at intermission. The harpist found herself confronted by a curious three-year-old loaded with questions about the rare stringed instrument.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
That curiosity led to a passion for music. Lewis began private lessons for the harp at the age of eight and has since taken up the violin, piano and choir.
From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every weekday for a month in summer of 2012, Lewis and her peers heard a music history lecture on a different genre of music each week. They learned about how genres evolved and what events inspired them
and helped them to develop. The students would then form small groups and composed a song for an artist of each genre.
Lewis, a classically trained harpist, would be mixed together with musical theater performers, a country guitarist, an opera singer or DJs to write songs inspired by hip-hop, blues, jazz and rock.
That fluidity was put to good use at the Music Revolution Project.
"Figuring out how to mix DJ beats into country was weird — it was hard," Lewis said. "It was a very good learning experience musically and really stretches your creative mind."
At the end of the Project, the group selected 11 of its best songs to record, then debuted its work at the Kauffman Center to an audience of around 250 people.
GRAMMY AWARD
"It was awesome to be granted that opportunity to perform where all of these big names have been," Lewis said. "For a high schooler from the middle of the Kansas City suburbs to get this opportunity to do this, that was cool. I think we were all kind of blown away by this whole thing."
Shelby Lewis, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo. poses before her appearance at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Lewis and other Kansas City area students were selected to participate in the GRAMMY Museum's Music Revolution Project last summer.
Lewis sat at her harp and sang vocals to an Amy Winehouse-inspired track on the same stage that Patti LuPone and Aretha Franklin have performed on within the past two years. The debut concert was a cathartic end to a demanding and rewarding experience. Until October.
Lewis and eight other students were asked to return to Kansas City to talk to the media and advertise the Project and the recent opening of the Grammy Museum Experience at the Sprint Center.
Deep in the basement of the Sprint Center, Lewis was catching up with her fellow teenage
musicians over a breakfast spread when a posh man in a suit — Tim Leiweke, the President and CEO of Anschutz Entertainment Group
— walked in, and asked if they had previously been to the Grammy Awards. He offered them an all-expenses-paid trip to the awards and to visit the Grammy Museum and other attractions, tour Los Angeles and stay in the same hotel
as the stars.
Lewis couldn't contain her excitement.
"Who does that?" Lewis asked. "Who says, 'Yes, you suburban children from the Midwest, come to California and attend the biggest night in music'"

STUDENT SENATE
Students travel to Topeka, lobby education issues
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Student leaders from the six Kansas Board of Regents schools will advocate for students on three main issues when they meet with state legislators today. During Higher Education Day, 30 students from each school, many of whom are members of their student body governments, will meet Kansas leaders in the House and Senate to represent student positions on higher education funding, tuition for undocumented students and concealed carry on campus.
The entire student lobby met last night in Woodruff Auditorium to familiarize themselves with their fellow student advocates, positions they will advocate and conduct for lobbying. said student body president Hannah Bolton.
While drafting a united student platform for the Regents schools has been challenging, Darren Beckham, student legislative director for Wichita State University, said the lobby will represent all students from the Kansas Board of Regents Schools.
"The purpose of the day is to make sure that legislatures hear from students and are able to connect faces and individuals to these problems, as well as understand how it will better affect Kansas students' lives." Beckham said.
"We are just going to try to make it more of a direct message than it has been in the past." Bolton said.
ECONOMIC RETURN AND INVESTMENT
The higher education lobby plans to advocate for continued funding of academic institutions.
According to a study performed by Goss and Associates, every tax dollar spent on the Board of Regents schools produced an $11.94 economic return.
"The governor is proposing a higher education cut at eight percent," said Zach George, Government Relations Director for the University. "That is a huge amount of money, which could possibly lead to an increase in tuition."
Compared to the national average of $6,290, Kansas spends $4,959 per student in higher education.
While enrollment in post-secondary education has increased by more than 10 percent since 2006, funding for higher education institutions has fallen by more than 15 percent, according to the State Higher Education Executive

IN-STATE TUITION FOR UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS

Currently, undocumented student immigrants are ineligible to receive state or federal aid for tuition. The higher education lobby will advocate that these students receive in-state tuition to increase the likelihood of their attendance to a Kansas higher education institution.

Friends and family rally around student's recovery
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
While standing in front of a rock wall and looking up, the goal of climbing to the top can seem daunting, if not a bit impossible. It's not an easy or a quick task, but as he reaches and moves higher with each step, the vision of the top becomes closer and clearer.
As a rock-climbing enthusiast, Matthew Koontz has experienced this numerous times. Now, it is a different kind of wall he is scaling.
Koontz, a senior from Overland Park, was hit by a truck while biking across the intersection of Iowa Street and Harvard Road Jan. 29. He broke his sternum, arm, and all of the ribs on his left side as well as a couple on his right. He also had bleeding in his brain behind his frontal lobe and had an emergency splenectomy while in the hospital.
Although he won't be able to return to rock climbing soon, Koontz is beginning his "climb" of recovery. This time, the goals at the top are graduating in May with majors in business administration and anthropology and returning to a life of traveling and rock climbing.

A RECOVERY "BIBLE"
Lawrence senior Camille Fittell,
a fellow rock climber and close friend of Koontz , compiled the entries in a binder and delivered it to Koontz before he returned to his home on Feb. 4. After witnessing her mother go through a knee replacement surgery and therapy, she wanted to offer the same support to Koontz.
Koontz is not alone in his journey. Through a Facebook group named "Forever Strong: Matt Koontz Recovery Bible," his friends and family have been able to contribute stories, pictures and words of encouragement for him.
"We can't all see him every day as much as we would love to, but we want him to know that every day of recovery we're thinking about him and we're ready for him to get back out and climb again." Fittell said.
Matt's parents Mike and Pam Koontz said the outlet of support has been helpful in the recovery process.
"It gives him a lot of energy to know everyone's behind him and he's not doing this by himself," Mike said.
"We try to surround him with things that make him happy," Pam said. "We really appreciate all the work and all the help that people went through to bring him good thoughts and good pravers."
WORKING TOWARD THE FUTURE

Koontz doesn't want his accident to define his future, and he is determined to not let it hinder him in his goal of graduating in four years.
"As long as his spirits are staying high, he really wants to accomplish that goal." Pam said.
tion. Fittell said that Koontz would often mix climbing with homework, trading off between slack lining and writing a paragraph of a paper.
Koontz will work with the University to make sure he can graduate on time. The dean of the School of Business, Neeli Bendapudi, visited Koontz in the hospital and will continue to work with him while he finishes his requirements.

Overland Park senior Josie Harmon, a member of the Undergraduate Anthropology Association, said the department of anthropology will also be closely involved in the process.
POSITIVITY AND STRENGTH
Through the rock climbing club, climbing has become more than a hobby for Matt. He regularly travels and climbs with his friends.
Erin Eifler, a senior from Lawrence, remembers the first climbing trip she went on with Koontz.
"I was completely new and I didn't know anybody, and Matt spent his entire first day of the trip
. . . teaching me how to do stuff.
He was so ridiculous patient,
she said. "He didn't even think
twice about spending the whole
day teaching me stuff"
Josie Harmon found out about the accident from Koontz's mother

"The stance that we have is that these students want to participate in the economy by getting their degree and participate in society,"
George said. "We should make it easier for them because we know that people who do not have a college degree increase their chances of being in poverty or getting into crime."
CONCEALED CARRY ON CAMPUS
With the likelihood of legislation being introduced to allow concealed carry weapons on the campus of Kansas schools this session, Bolton said the student lobby will advocate against such measures. While University police and faculty
are opposed to conceal carry on campus. Bolton said the primary reason for lobbying on this issue was to represent current University policy prohibiting students carrying weapons on campus. Student Senate passed a resolution opposing concealed and carry on campus on Feb. 6.
"There wasn't a huge opposition in our stance to oppose it," Bolton said.

She has spent the weekend balancing social networking, experiencing the major LA attractions and embracing the music industry.
"It makes me happy to play it and happy to produce this thing that gets to people without using words," Lewis said.
For Lewis, the future holds a career devoted to music — maybe with a position at an interactive learning experience like the
Grammy Museum or maybe as a music teacher.
"I called my music teacher from elementary school when I got invited to the Grammys and thanked her," Shelby said. "I didn't talked to her in about 10 years, but I called her and thanked her because I remember taking choir and playing recorders and I thought it was the coolest thing in elementary school. She made it fun."
Lewis thinks it's important to foster fine arts programs in schools to give kids a creative outlet.

In the meantime, she's enjoying her opportunity to explore music.
"These people from California are giving suburban Missourians a chance at something so great and really want to foster that and promote that we are a city of important things," Lewis said. "Especially with the building of the Kauffman Center and the Sprint Center, Kansas City is getting back on the map. And hopefully this program will put us back on the music map."

Malian dispute shows future of conflict
Even if the overwhelming majority of University students don't plan to visit West Africa anytime soon and typically don't check their Sahara news feed after pouring a morning bowl of cereal, the ongoing conflict in Mali matters because it reflects the types of military engagement that will likely become prevalent during their adult lives.
To recap: last March, a military coup ousted the democratically elected President Touré after his government failed to defeat the nomadic Tuareg rebels in the northern part of the country. While the military and interim civilian government vied for influence, the security situation deteriorated. Rebels briefly controlled the northern desert, but by July Islamist groups held power in the major cities in the region.
Whether Islamist ideology (which young voting citizens should know is separate from Islam the religion) is fundamentally incompatible with respect
to international human rights or democratic norms is a broad, complex question; in the context of northern Mali, Islamist take-over held disastrous implications for the region's residents.
By October, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic was describing public executions, amputations, and beatings. He explained that "enforced marriages" legitimize the widespread rape of young women while more children are enlisting to become soldiers. College students across the country mobilized last spring as a part of the Kony 2012 movement, but so far this conflict hasn't captured that same level of attention.
As a result of the crisis, refugees are fleeing en masse. The United Nations Refugee Agency coordinator reported 160,000 Malian refugees in surrounding countries; another 240,000 people are displaced within the country. Other estimates place the number of persons displaced at 1.5 million.
By Amanda Gress agress@kansan.com
Massive human tragedy isn't limited to the north, either. According to Human Rights Watch, the same military leaders who perpetrated the coup last March now engage in "extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances" in the south. The New York Times reports that journalists and opponents of the military regime have been targeted.
In January, France deployed troops to Mali after using airpower to strike extremist groups. According to Foreign Policy magazine, that mission was militarily successful, as the French-backed government forces regained control of two key cities, Timbuktu
and Gao. French President François Hollande declared that the coalition is "winning this battle" on Jan. 28, and suggested that African forces could resume sole responsibility for the mission.
Why does this mess in Western Africa, handled primarily by the French and West African governments, matter to young U.S. citizens? Mali showcases a series of enduring challenges. Its Islamist groups don't act in isolation; the Council on Foreign Relations noted those groups have ties to al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM. Its continued lawless state would provide a base of operations for AQIM, allowing it to network with militant groups throughout the region. That partnership, once rooted, could endure long after any current student's graduation.
As defense sequestration and U.S. drone policy move into the spotlight of national security debates, Mali represents two trends. First, the U.S. has not taken an active military role, instead allowing other countries
to handle the situation on a regional basis. Second, Foreign Policy magazine highlighted ongoing decision-making to place a new drones base in Western Africa to conduct intelligence-gathering operations.
Despite Hollande's optimistic outlook, instability in Mali will take years to resolve. With hundreds of thousands of people displaced, international aid organizations will be hard-pressed to provide for even basic human needs. The motivations behind separatist movements will not disappear overnight, and rebels or Islamist groups can simply melt into the desert and wait for military operations to cease.
Absent a sustained international effort, security and humanitarian objectives in Mali will remain unattainable — and that's why University students should know a war is being fought there.

Senioritis disease to strike students that are unaware
As the spring semester starts, many seniors begin the final drive to
graduation.
Enrolling in the last classes they'll ever take as college student, they teem with excitement as May inches closer and closer. The promise of graduation and the beginning of a new life seems more realistic than it ever has before, and there's only one teeny, tiny little thing holding them back; senioritis.
Symptoms of senioritis include, but are not limited to: excessive apathy, inability to wake up before 11 a.m., lack of commitment to school projects or homework, skipping class, failing tests, freeloading, surfing sites like StumbleUpon, Pinterest or Reddit for 5-plus hours a day, tweeting things like "#yolo" or "Screw class, let's go to the hawk!" at 2 o.n.
Senioritis, or "deconcentratus senioris," as it's known in the medical field, is a crippling and debilitating viral infection that causes potential turmoil for soon-to-be graduates.
By Brett Crawford
bcrawford@kansan.com
Spread through everyday interactions, this dreadful disease has been known to ruin GPAS and is responsible for countless "incompletes" on college transcripts.
Many of you might be realizing you are showing symptoms of senioritis after reading this, but that's OK. Studies show every 1 in 7 college seniors has senioritis, but many cases go undiagnosed. Just remember, diagnosis is the first step to recovery.
Until recently there were few known remedies to senioritis, but with the advancement of modern medicine there is new hope for the infected. There are several steps you can take to combat senioritis and clinical trials have even shown marked improvements in behavior, in some cases even complete recovery.
The first thing to do after getting diagnosed is to accept your diagnosis and educate yourself about the disease. Understanding senioritis is critical to any recovering patient, which begins with simply admitting that you are infected.
The second step is finding help. There are numerous support groups on campus, many of which can help on the road to being cured. Getting involved in student study groups and review sessions works wonders for those suffering from senioritis. Over the counter antibiotics such as Red Bull, Monster or black coffee can work wonders for a recovering patient.
Most of all, it is key to establish a support system once you've found out you have senioritis. Close friends, family members, roommates and coworkers can act as sponsors, keeping you
accountable for class attendances and study habits. Do not be afraid of relapse! That's what your support group is in place for. If you relapse, tell your supporters that you've had a moment of weakness and ask for their help, they'll be more than willing to do whatever they can to get you back on the straight and narrow.
After enough time and effort you'll be on the right track for clean, infection-free living. Remember that recovering from senioritis is a process. There will be days where the only thing you want to do is lie in bed and have a "How I Met Your Mother" marathon, throwing caution into the wind and sacrificing your participation grade for a few cheap laughs.
As a recently recovered infectee, I can say for certain that my road to recovery was a dark one, but with the help of some sugar-free energy drinks and a good sleep schedule I was on my way to a normal life in no time.
Just remember, no one wants to tell their friends and family they won't graduate on time because they opted for a three-day Pinterest bender instead of writing their mid-term thesis assignment. Stay accountable, stay alert, and most of all, stay in school.

German prep for studying abroad
The deadlines for study abroad programs will be
I honestly have no idea what a cream rinse is, but I don't think it's something you want to ask for when you're sitting down to brunch in a nice suit.
"Wir möchten gern Abendenets auf deutsche Art haben." — "We should like to have dinner German style."
"Well, you could start by changing your suit, as we consider it impolite over here to eat dinner with huge cream stains on your clothes."
“Konnen Sie mir den Weg zum Damen-Unkleiderau zeigen?” — “Can you show me to the women's changing room?”
coming up before you know it. And the good stuff in England and Australia is gonna fill up fast. So why not start learning another language? I picked up a nice German phrase book from the 1960s — Instant German: The Follett Vest-Pocket Conversation Guide" — and I'm pretty sure it has every phrase a traveler needs, and then some. Here are some sample phrases from this fine book (along with some contexts in which you could use them) so you can start learning what some consider the awful German language right away.
"You're planning to change that soiled suit in the women's dressing room, sir? Is that all you're going to do in there, creep?"
“Wollen Sie bitte mit Creme nachspüllen?” — “Could I have a cream rinse?
"Gibt es eine wo man
Pferde miten kann?" — "Is
there a place where we can rent
some horses?"
I'm pretty sure that back in the 60s, horses were the primary mode of transport in the more backward parts of East Germany. But in present-day Deutschland, electric, emissions-free transportation is the norm, so I typically replace every instance of "Pierd" I find in this book with "Smart Car."
RIDGE

"Schlag dieses [Smart Car] aus?" — "Does this [Smart Car] kick?"

"Stillen Sie die Blutung!" "Stop the bleeding!"
"Dammit, you said this one doesn't kick! Why the hell did I change into a white suit for this? Now everybody's gonna see the tire tracks and bloodstains and think I'm some kind of crazy masochist who gets his kicks from having compact automobiles kick him in the shins!"
"Gibt es eine Stelle wo man Fahrrierr miten kann?" "Is there a place where we can rent some bicycles?"
Are you sure you want to bike in this condition? You just ran over your own leg with the Smart Car; the damn thing's still bleeding out all over the upholstery! If you want to crawl to the bike rental shop across the street, I won't stop you, but at least put some gauze on that leg first.
"Achtung! Vorsicht!" "Watch out! Careful!"
"Would it kill you to be a little more careful? You're bleeding all over my nice bikes!"
“Es handelt sich um eine alte amerikanische Sitte.” — “It’s an old American custom.”
"Oh, it's an old American custom to rub your bloody legs all over my bicycle seat while slamming the gearshift levers back and forth like a compulsive gambler at a penny slot machine? You Yanks are sick freaks, you know that?"
"Ich furchete, ich habe den Gang im Getreibe kaputt gemacht." — "I'm afraid II've stripped my gears."
"If I may say so, the gears aren't the worst things you've stripped on this trip, creep."

FILM
'Stand Up Guys' falls flat with cheap thrills
Bernard Lacombe
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
Christopher Walker, Alan Arkin and Al Pacino star in Fisher Stevens's schmaltzy crime caper "Stand Up Guys."
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
If nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound, "Stand Up Guys" is the equivalent of a botched root canal.
Doc, who spends the bulk of "Stand Up Guys" agonizing over whether to pull the trigger, wants to make Val's last night on earth a real humdinger. So the wizened wise guys decide to run amok downtown: stealing a muscle car, boosting buckets of thrill pills
Despite boasting a cast of three acting legends and a plot bearing tantalizing similarities to "In Bruges," Fisher Stevens's geriatric gangster comedy is weighed down by fallings heavier than a pair of concrete overshoes: listless plot contrivances, superflous side characters and the sort of gooey-hearted sentimentality that would ring false in any movie, much less one graced with the monumental talents of Christopher Walken, Al Pacino and Alan Arkin. The late film critic Gene Siskel once theorized that most films can be judged based on whether they are more entertaining than a documentary about the same actors having lunch. On that count, "Stand Up Guys" falls embarrassingly short.
The story begins with Val (Pacino), a career criminal serving 29 years in prison after agreeing to take the fall for his fellow crooks. When Val's release date finally rolls around, the only one waiting for him on the outside is Doc (Walken), his best friend from the old days. After catching up at an old-timey diner with the requisite plot-connected waitress (Addison Timlin), the two decide to hit the town for a Viagra-assisted last hurrah. Unbeknownst to Val, a vengeful crime lord with the bluesy moniker Claphands (Mark Margolis) has blackmailed Doc into dispatching his old buddy.
from a pharmacy and springing their mutual friend Hirsch (Arkin) from the pine-scented purgatory of his retirement home. A few of their adventures, like the scene where Pacino convinces a woman to dance with him through a woody mixture of charm and self-pity, are genuinely touching. Most, like a Farrelly Brothers-style erection joke that requires a hospital visit and an injection to relieve the swelling, just seem lazy and interminable.
Walken, who played another conflicted assassin in last year's far-superior "Seven Psychopaths," imbues Doc with all the noble eccentricities denied to him by Noah Haidle's derivative screenplay. His chemistry with Pacino is a deliberate exercise in contrast, presenting himself as the calm skeptic to his co-star's manic human peacock.
Pacino, still firmly entrenched in his patented HOO-AH! stick, is less successful at elevating the material, and the film's worst sight gags are usually at his expense. And although the fate of his senile getaway driver ultimately left me groaning, Arkin (currently an Oscar nominee for "Argo") has the benefit of a few memorable lines and gets to handle a Dodge Challenger with the skill of an arthritic Vin Diesel, Vanessa Ferlito, the snub-nosed beauty best known for giving Kurt Russell an impeccably choreographed lap dance in Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof," also appears briefly, bringing with her a disposable subplot that throws off what little momentum the film has going for it.

HELPING KANSAS STUDENTS MAKE IT TO SPRING BREAK SINCE 1972
NO WORRIES!
Don is here to save, the day!
I'm having a mental breakdown because my car is brokedown!
Just to be clear, "Stand Up Guys" isn't a terrible movie. It's just a shallow, hopelessly misguided trifle that commits the cardinal sin of squandering an amazingly gifted cast. Aside from the performances, its sole highlight is a predictably retro-centric soundtrack from artists like Charles Bradley, Gary Clark Jr. and Jon Bon Jovi, the latter of whom penned "Not Running Anymore," a song that treats these characters, and the great actors portraying them, with the respect and gravitas they deserve. If only the filmmakers had followed his lead.
Stop by before leaving for spring break and make sure your car is ready for the road!

Stars stun on the red carpet in classic black
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
Last night's 55th annual Grammary Awards in Los Angeles was a festival of fabulous fashion.
Stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Richie and a pregnant Amber Rose wowed in gorgeous black dresses. Though all the knockouts shared the same color for the night, their styles were all very different. Lopez showed off some serious leg in her one-sleeved Anthony Vaccarello gown, sleek topnot, simple clutch and perfect strappy heels. Richie's Tom Ford midi length snakeskin dress was paired perfectly with simple hair and accessories, and Wiz Khalifa's other half was glowing as she showed off her baby bump in a
Donna Karan gown.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry and Rihanna sported brightly colored gowns in mint green and red. Mario Lopez couldn't have looked more handsome in his burgundy suit at the Staples Center event. Perry's mint dress fit her perfectly and was said to be inspired by Priscilla Presley's style from the '70s. Rihanna looked red hot in her red lips, red nails and a custom red Azzedine Alaïa dress.
Sadly, with the good comes the bad. Justin Timberlake has now failed at fashion two award shows in a row. At the SAG awards, Timberlake went too casual in Tom Ford, and went too tacky in the same designer at last night's Grammys. His black and white patent leather shoes were distracting,
as was his oversized bowtie. Carly Rae Jepson looked somber in her black sparkly dress and undid hair. As much as it pains me to say, Super Bowl queen Beyonce looked exquisite in her edgy Osman jump suit, but the outfit was a little too casual for the event (but since she's perfect, we'll let that slide).
The key to avoiding worst-dressed lists during award season is by dressing age, season and event appropriate. Each award show has a different dress code that should definitely be followed. And in this case, the Grammys dress code was to cover all the goodies.

GRAMMYS
Live performances steal Grammys
RYAN WRIGHT
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Ever since its inception in 1959, the Grammys have been heralded as the premiere award show for music. Over the years the Grammys have had many classic moments, from jaw-dropping performances to artists winning big and taking home many of the coveted awards. Did this year's Grammys stack up to previous installations?
Returning to host the awards this year was legendary rapper LL Cool J. As far as hosting goes, LL Cool J did a pretty good job. There was nothing really special about his hosting, but it was solid.
As always, the Grammys boasts several star-studded performances. For this year's installment many artists performed, such as Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran and fun.
One of the best performances of them all came from Justin Timberlake, who performed his new single "Suit & Tie." During the
performance he brought Jay-Z on stage to perform his guest verse. After absolutely killing his "Suit & Tie" performance JT performed a previously unheard track, "Pusher Love Girl."
Frank Ocean also took the stage last night. He performed "Forrest Gump" from his album "channel ORANGE." There wasn't much going on during his performance, but that's because he didn't need it. His vocals truly stole the show.
Not all was great at the Grammys though. There were a couple disappointing performances. Taylor Swift's opening number was disappointing. Her vocals weren't up to par to what fans expect of her. Her Alice in Wonderland themed performance was interesting though.
Also the tribute to Bob Marley was underwhelming. The choice of Bruno Mars and Sting was an odd choice for this tribute. Though it got better towards the end when Rihanna, Damian and Ziggy Marley joined the stage, the tribute to the reggae legend could have been much better.
The actual awards this year were particularly well done. This year's presenters were great and included Beyonce, Ellen Degrenes, Miguel and Adela. For the most part, the selection committee did the awards justice. The only snub was that Frank Ocean should have won Best New Artist instead of fun. Earlier in the show, fun, lead singer Nate Ruess stated they had been together for 12 years. Not so much a new artist.
The big winners this year were Mumford and Sons, fun. and Frank Ocean. Mumford and Sons took home the most prestigious award, Album of the Year. fun. won Best New Artist as well as Song of the Year. Frank Ocean won his first two Grammys with Best Urban Contemporary Artist and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
With only a few mishaps at this year's Grammys, it really did live up to its name as music's biggest night.

Sports journalist Frank Deford speaks to the audience after receiving the 2013 William Allen White Foundation National Citation on Friday.
Sports Illustrated journalist receives award at University
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
Celebrated sports journalist and author Frank Deford received the William Allen White Foundation National Citation, the School of Journalism's annual award. In addition to discussing his career and accomplishments, Deford, 74, commented on the dawn of the digital age and how the Internet has changed the face of journalism.
As a sports journalist, Deford has a 50-year tenure with Sports Illustrated, has worked with multiple sports magazines and newspapers and is a regular contributor to NPR and "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel." Two of his 18 published books, including both fiction and non-fiction, have been made into feature-length films.
"I knew that I wanted to be a writer almost from the day that I learned how to write," Deford said. "I found out it was something that I could do well — no different than someone who found out they can run fast and thought, 'Gee,' I ought to go out for the track team."
Journalists hoping to follow in his footsteps, however, will have to find a technologically-adroit path. Deford said. Modern journalists, he thinks, must be more curious, flexible and prepared to explore all mediums and tactics.
"The Internet has just made everything different from what it was once upon a time? Deford said.
Deford said he fell into his sports writing career. It was the quality writing more than the subject matter that attracted him to Sports Illustrated Magazine. Although he enjoys games as a fan, he thinks the people and background stories make sports interesting.
"The wonderful thing about sports writing is that it's a great subject to write about," Deford said. "Sports is drama. Sports is glamour; interesting characters. It gives you so much as a writer."
Deford's most personal work is "Alex: The Life of a Child," a memoir chronicling the life of his daughter who died of cystic fibrosis in 1980. He describes the book as a searing personal experience and successful in that it allowed his daughter to be celebrated by so many people and helped the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
"Everything pales beneath that," Deford said. "Of course, it was based on the greatest tragedy that can possibly be, which is the death of a child, but the book itself and the subsequent movie that was made from the book was indisputably the best thing that I ever did, and certainly the most important thing that I ever did."

When English lecturer Megan Kaminski asked Thompson to be a reader at the Undergraduate Reading Series, Thompson quickly agreed.
"The Undergraduate Reading Series is an opportunity for writers to come together and become a community," Thompson said. "It's not just me in the audience meeting an author; it's me being the person the audience is listening to."
ALLISON HAMMOND
ahammond@kansan.com
The Undergraduate Reading Series is a monthly event in which undergraduate writers recommended by creative writing professors can share their work. At each event, writers stand at the podium and, for 10 minutes, share their writing. Kaminski created the series a few years ago.
Pen in hand. Shannon Thompson disappears into her character. She transforms the previous evening's night terrors into a science fiction tale. She copes with pain from personal experiences by putting it into her writing. Thompson, a senior from Leawood studying English, has been writing seriously since she was 11 years old. She published a novel when she was in high school and wants to continue writing professionally.

Kaminski said she hopes audience members enjoy themselves and become inspired to think differently through creative writing.
"We have all sorts of talented students who are starting to move their writing beyond being students and into being professional writers, so it gives students a chance to practice and have experience with a really important part of being a writer, which is sharing your work with an audience," Kaminski said.
The next Undergraduate Reading Series event is scheduled for March 12 at 7 p.m. in the English Room of the Kansas Union.
Last Wednesday, Thompson took to the podium and shared non-fiction, poetry and fiction pieces with the audience. She shared her words and took another step toward being a professional writer.
"I think the thing that makes this event remarkable is it's really about the student work; it's a moment for students to say this is what I feel about myself and what I want to share about my experience at KU and as a human being in this world," Kaminski said.
NEW ORLEANS — Gunshots erupted in a crowd of bead-wearing, drink-carrying late-night revelers on Bourbon Street during the countdown to Mardi Gras Saturday night, wounding four people and sending bystanders running and screaming. Hours later on Sunday, though, the same stretch was packed with partners who said they weren't letting the violence dampen their fun.
In a video taken by a witness Saturday night and released the next day, the shootings are preceded by footage of people standing shoulder to shoulder in New Orleans's famed tourist district, with some holding green plastic cups and wearing gaudy hats or masks. A section of the frame highlighted by police shows people speaking with angry expressions.

Four wounded in Mardi Gras shooting

Police said in an email that the video depicts an argument involving one of the shooting victims and the suspects. Two men are seen leaving the argument and returning with a third, then approaching the victim as at least one of the suspects begins shooting, according to police. Four shots are heard in rapid succession, followed by screams as some in the crowd stagger into one another and a nearby wall. A man whom police identified as one of the suspects is
The shooting came on the last weekend of partying before Mardi Gras, the celebration that is the signature tourist event of the year in New Orleans. And for thousands, the partying continued despite the shooting. Parades rolled under cloudy skies Sunday before crowds of onlookers, though the shootings were on the minds of some revelers.
"It was very disappointing," said New Orleans resident Carol Redmann-Bailey as she watched Thoth roll by. "I was disappointed and sad, but it seems like Bourbon Street stayed open. ... Let the good times roll."
shown walking through the crowd with his arm extended as the gun-shots are heard, though it's difficult to make out a weapon.
Police said Sunday that they were seeking the three men.
The shootings wounded two males and two females. One male victim hit in the abdomen, thigh and pelvis was in guarded condition Sunday after surgery the previous night, New Orleans Police spokesman Frank B. Robertson said. The second male was shot in the buttocks, one female was shot on the chin and right foot, and the second female was shot on the toe, according to Robertson's statement. Those three were in stable condition. No ages or names were released.

NO MORE 'EASY' GAMES
Jayhawks' loss to Sooners sets them back heading into Sunflower Showdown

BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
Kansas' schedule didn't have to be this exhausting.
In theory, playing at TCU last Wednesday should have been a tune-up for a tough three-day stretch. Losses at home against Oklahoma State, on the road to the Horned Frogs and a third straight at Oklahoma changed that notion and has shaken the perception of an "easy game" — which is to say there are none in the Big 12 this year.
Instead a mentally and physically fatigued group of Jayhawks will take the floor against a similarly worn down Kansas State team Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse, likely to the displeasure of both teams, but especially for Kansas coach Bill Self.
"I wish we had a couple of days to prepare," Self said. "But they probably wish they had a couple days to prepare also."
The difference is that Kansas State comes to Lawrence after defeating Iowa State 79-70, and in control of its own destiny with a one game lead in the conference race.
Whatever energetic advantage that provides KSU, Self is hoping the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse will match it for the Jayhawks. Needless to say, they could surely use it.
"I think the crowd will do a great job of getting us jacked up," Self said. "Playing a rival always helps. I think we'll play with great energy Monday."
In reality, the Jayhawks don't have any other choice.
A loss to K-State would set Kansas two games back in the quest for a ninth straight Big 12 title, and as much as Self doesn't want to focus on the big picture right now, it's hard to escape the standard he's built for himself.
Consider Self a slave to his own success.
"We've been behind a game in the league race going into the last seven or eight games of the season before," Self said. "If they were to defeat us they'd put us really behind the eight ball."
Meaning Monday's affair is as close to a must-win as the Jayhawks will face before the NCAA tournament. It also means whatever problems are plaguing the Jayhawks need to be corrected in the little time before tipoff.
But if you forget the outings at TCU and against Oklahoma State, the loss to the Sooners isn't as troubling as the two previous defeats.
Kansas shot 46 percent from the field against Oklahoma, Elijah Johnson had three turnovers on four assists and Ben McLemore still got his 15 points. The biggest concern was the Jayhawks perimeter defense, which was essentially non-existent in Norman.
"I think we could defend better," Self admitted. "I would think we need to keep doing things that we've been taught to do and execute what we've been taught to do. I still don't think we're a very good loose ball team."
One thing on which Self doesn't blames the losses is poor shooting, although he does believe the Jayhawks have a better chance of getting buckets with Naadir Tharpe on the floor.
"Anything can happen," Self said.
"But we're going to have to play our best ball by far of the conference season to have a chance to win it."
Whether it's going with a smaller lineup, switching from man-to-man coverage or doing a better job working the ball inside, the window to solve Kansas' crisis is rapidly closing. It may very well be gone by Tuesday morning.

TRACK & FIELD
Kansas succeeds in Ark., Wash., and Iowa
CALVIN WHITNEY
cwhitney@kansan.com
The layhawks men's and women's track and field teams traveled to three different meets this weekend.
They were successful in traveling to the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark, the Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash, and the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa.
It started Friday when junior vaulter Natalia Bartnovskaya destroyed her own school record by 5 inches at the Tyson Invitational. This is her fifth consecutive pole vault win and she has the No. 2 pole vault mark in the nation. Bartnovskaya had a clearance of 4.43 meters (14-6.25 feet).
Senior Sarah Hedberg who was joined with sophomore Jamie House and junior Abby Row in the college division pole vault. Row grabbed a new career best height of 3.70 meters (12-1.5 feet). Hedberg reached over 3.95 meter (12-11.5 feet) to win the event. This is Hedberg's best indoor mark and is her first overall victory as a Jiahawk.
Senior Kyle Clemons ran his first 400 meters of the year and ran his fastest race in nearly two
seasons. Clemons finished his two lap race in 46.85 to win his heat by almost one second, and also win the overall victory. Michael Stigler also ran the race with a time of 48.19 and finishing 14th overall.
Saturday in Fayetteville, Arkansas, senior Andrea Geubelle made it to the top 10 all-time NCAA triple jump performance list. She also claimed a new school record, breaking the old record by 10 inches. This is a week after setting a school record for the long jump in New York at the Armory Collegiate Invite. She has the No. 1 mark in the nation for the long jump, as a result. Her 13.91 meter (45-8 feet) jump on Saturday gave her the 11th farthest jump in the world in 2013.
The Kansas men's and women's 4x400 meter relay teams finished the weekend in Fayetteville with some success. The men's team, made of Michael Stigler, Mike Hester, Kyle Clemons and Kenneth McCuin were running together for the first time since the Big 12 Championship last May. Stigler, Hester and Clemons, who ran a 46.14 split, put the Jayhawks in great position for McCuin to anchor the team to the finish line
In Ames, Iowa, February 7th through 9th, several Jayhawks earned season best performances. On Friday, junior Alex Hermes recorded a career best in two events, the 60 meter dash and the 200 meter dash. In the 60 meter, he finished in 7.15, 34th among the competition. In the 200 meter dash, his time was 22.46 for 26th place. This is .3 seconds faster than his last career best.
in 3:09.98. This is the 11th fastest NCAA time in the 4x400 relay this year. The women's of 4x400 relay team, which is made of Diamond Dixon, Denesha Morris, Taylor Washington and Rhavean King finished with a time of 3:40.97.
Freshman Nick Ucherek and junior Teddy Oteba finished their 600 yard race neck and neck on Friday, Ucherek finishing right before Oteba. Ucherek beat his previous career best with a time of 1:13.84 and finishing 3rd place. Oteba finished 4th place with a time of 1:13.85. On Saturday, junior Dominique Manley ran a season best time of 1:12.98 in the 600 yard race. Manley finished 10th overall. As for the women 600 yard runners, junior Timmie Morris had a season best of 1:27.40.
In Seattle, Washington this past Friday and Saturday, Kansas had three athletes competing in the Husky Classic. Junior Josh Munsch finished with a career best. He finished fifth overall and completed the mile in 4:03.18. This ranks Munsch ninth in the Big 12 this season and it's also the second time in a week that Munsch has set a career-best. Sophomore Reid Buchanan finished his heat in 4:10.76, improving his last personal best by two seconds. To finish out the Friday evening, sophomore Evan Landes competed in the 5,000 meter for the first time in his collegiate career. He finished with 14:22.41 and grabbed the 24th spot. This is the third fastest time by a Big 12 athlete this season.
The Kansas men and women now have two weeks to prepare for the Big 12 Indoor Championship in Ames, Iowa, Feburary 22nd through the 23rd. The women finished 3rd place in last year's league meet while the men finished 10th place.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
KU
AT A GLANCE
It's the second edition of the Sunflower Showdown. This time around, the Wildcats have the upper hand, leading the Jayhawks by one game. Still, Kansas can reclaim a share of the Big 12 lead with a victory inside the Fieldhouse on Monday. Right now, the Jayhawks are free falling after losing to a poor TCU team and an average Oklahoma squad last week. Kansas has already lost the most games in a row since the 2004-05 season, and if the team drops another game it will be the longest losing streak since Roy Williams' first year at the helm.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Throughout the past few games.
Tharpe has shown sparks of brilliance and fearlessness.
Tharpe scored the last four points of the first half against Oklahoma and an-
Tharpe
peared ready to take over the game when called upon. Tharpe is far from a finished product, but he gives Kansas someone off the bench bringing a different energy. Continue to have an eye on Tharpe; he might be called upon for more minutes in the near future.
Will Elijah Johnson break out of his funk?
QUESTION MARK
At this point, who knows. Johnson continues to struggle on both ends of the floor. He's been one of the more perplexing players at point guard in recent Kansas history. He has the talent to play the position, but will his funk continue to fester into a long stretch of games? I guess we will find out the answer tonight.
NUMBERS
45-3 - Kansas' record against Kansas State since the 1994 season.
0-2 - Bruce Weber's record against Kansas.
800 - The amount of career points for senior guard Travis Releford.
Kansas can sweep the Sunflower Showdown again this year. Nothing is more important to this team and the athletics department than beating the in-state rival. Despite the dominance of the Jayhawks, there is very little confidence in the Kansas fan base at the moment. That could change with a win.

PETER C. HARRIS
It was more bad moments from Elijah Johnson down the stretch, but it appears that he continues to work through his problems whether it is physical or between the ears. Johnson shot three of 11 from the field and posted a 4:3 turnover ratio for the game. The Kansas fans are frustrated with Johnson, but until another indication, Self will stick with Johnson as his guy.
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
Releford struggled on the defensive ends down the stretch, but look for him to get it back on track against Kansas State. For a fifth-year senior playing in his last regular season game against the Wildcats, he will want a solid performance on both ends of the floor. Releford continues to be one of the rocks for this team, but — like everyone else — must show some toughness.
TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD
McLemore

BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
McLemore appears back on track after his 15-point performance in Norman. He was efficient again going 6-of-10 from the floor, but still struggled to get the amount of shots many feel necessary for him to be an effective scorer. The freshman sensation has not had a big moment in a few games. This could be another game where McLemore steps up and flashes his brilliance.
★★★☆☆

Young
★★★☆
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD
Despite only playing 18 minutes against Oklahoma, Young made an impact early in the game with a few slams. Young did struggle in the game with four fouls for most of the second half, but managed to still be a contributor. Young does not care whether he's coming off the bench or in the starting lineup. At the moment, he wants to be a senior leader.
MICHAEL SMITH
★★★☆★
Withey continues to show some consistency on the offensive end, but his toughness on the defensive end remains troubling for Withey. The last game against Oklahoma, Withey tied Greg Oostertag's career blocks record of 258. Like everyone else, Withey struggles to consistently to show his toughness. But last time, he played a physical matchup against Kansas State's Thomas Gipson.

KANSAS STATE
(19-4,8-2)
STARTERS
WILL SPRADLING, GUARD
Spradling is still one of the best in the conference at taking care of the ball with a 2.7 assist-to-turnover ratio. He averages 2.7 assists per game, but that number has dips significantly in conference play to only 1.8 assists per game. The Wildcats need him to be a ball distributor because he has averaged only 6.8 points per game since Big 12 play started.
PARK SMITH
Spradling
★★★☆☆
SHANE SOUTHWELL, GUARD
Southwell certainly remembers his last game against Kansas when he scored 19 points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to help the Wildcats nearly pull off the upset. He and Angel Rodriguez have been the team's best scoring complements to Rodney McGruder in conference play, but he's only averaging 5.3 points in Kansas State's past three games.
BETWEEN THE BALLS
★★★☆☆
ANGEL RODRIGUEZ, GUARD
Rodriguez dropped 20 points on 6-14 shooting Saturday against Iowa State and hit all seven of his free throw attempts. The sophomore has the Big 12's best assist-to-turnover ratio of all players with at least three assists per game with a 2.36 ratio. His 4.71 assists per game are fourth in the conference.
MARCUS JOHNSON
Rodriguez
★★★★☆
RODNEY MCGRUDER. GUARD
The senior will almost certainly find himself on the Big 12's All-Conference First Team at the end of the season. He has led the Wildcats in scoring 11 times, and his field goal percentage, three-point percentage and points per game have all increased in conference play. He led four Wildcats in double figures Saturday against Iowa State with 22 points to help Kansas State take the lead in the conference race.
PETER S. DAVIDSON
★★★★★
McGruder
JORDAN HENRIOUEZ FORWARD
Henrique has 10 starts on the year, including the past four games, which were all Wildcat victories. But even when he does start, he contributes very little to Kansas State. He played eight minutes in the Wildcats' last game against Iowa State, missing his only shot attempt. He scored only one point and grabbed two rebounds against Texas Tech in the previous game in 13 minutes.

AT A GLANCE
C
Kansas State comes in as the new first-place team in the Big 12 after defeating Iowa State 79-70 on Saturday. The Wildcats have won their past four games and 12 of their past 14. A victory would give them a two-game advantage over Kansas and Oklahoma State in the conference race. The Wildcats travel to Stillwater, Okla., to play the Cowboys in the last game of the regular season March 9.
Rodney McGruder, senior guard
PLAYER TO WATCH
PREDICTION:
PETER BURKE
McGruder
The Wildcats' top scorer at 15 points per game, McGruder's scoring average has increased to 16.6 points per game in conference play. He only scored 13 points
QUESTION MARK
when Kansas State hosted the Jayhawks in January, but 11 of those points came in the second half. He is shooting 49 percent from the field in conference play and 45 percent from three-point range.
Who will complement Rodney McGruder?
Besides McGruder, Kansas State doesn't have anyone who averages at least 10 points per game. It isn't likely the Wildcats can win at the Fieldhouse if McGruder is a one-man band. Junior guard Shane Southwell stepped up when the teams first squared off in Manhattan, leading all scorers with 19 points. His scoring average has increased in conference play to 9.5 points per game. Will playing Kansas bring out his best basketball again?
NUMBERS
Kansas 76, Kansas State 65
61 - The Wildcats have outscored their opponents by a combined 61 points in the second half this season much lower than the 179 points they've outscored their opponents by in the first half.
1 - Rodney McGruder is the only Wildcat averaging double figures, at 15 points per game.
2. 65 - Kansas State leads the Big 12 with a +2.65 turnover margin. Kansas is ninth with a -0.65 turnover margin.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
Kansas plays careless basketball. Kansas State leads the conference in scoring defense by giving up only 58.3 points per game. The Wildcats' stingy defense means Kansas must take advantage of every offensive possession it has and not waste them by committing illegal screens, bad passes or losing control of the ball on the fastbreak.

"How does that happen here?" Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson

game.
The toughness that Kansas showed in winning a month ago in West Virginia was nowhere to be found in Kansas' loss on Saturday. The two games provide a perfect example of how inconsistent Kansas has been in playing tough basketball.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
"I thought we were soft," Henrickson said after the game on Saturday. "We didn't win the toughness areas."
When Henrickson talks about
toughness areas, she's mostly talking about things like deflections, turnovers and rebounds.
Toughness has been a major strength for Kansas in some of its wins this season, like the
West Virginia had a layup drill for most of the game as Kansas failed continually to get help defenders into place.
The Jayhawks know how to play good team defense and how to use help defense.
The layhawks turned the ball over on important possessions and couldn't force just nine turnovers on defense. They gave up 38 points in the paint, mostly on layups, and didn't challenge shots.
"We work on that every day," senior guard Monica Engelman said.
"Who are we gonna beat, playing like that?" Henrickson said. "Nobody"
"Who are we gonna beat, playing like that? Nobody." BONNIE HENRICKSON
There was a hesitancy to get in place on help defense, which had a lot to do with why Henrickson thought her team played soft.
The jayhawks are a team that puts pressure on the ball, and when West Virginia managed to get around that pressure the inability of Kansas to stop drives allowed for easy scores.
first game against West Virginia, or the win a week ago in Manhattan against Kansas State. That toughness has mostly come through seniors making plays on important possessions. That didn't happen on Saturday.
The Jayhawks focused their offense on getting senior forward Carolyn Davis shots in the paint in the first half, but in the second half when the West Virginia defense began to sag off of
The Jayhawks were beat out in the toughness areas this time, and it wasn't close.
Engelman scored six points and finished the game with no rebounds.
"We're hugging our guy instead of being in the middle of the paint," Engelman said. "Sometimes it's a lack of focus."

Davis scored 14 points in the first half and was held scoreless in the second.
On the other side of the paint,
sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner scored nine points in the second half, but took just six shots
throughout the game.
"It does make it tough when they put two in my lap," Davis said of trying to make a pass to Gardner through defensive pressure, "but, I think it's also a little bit of Chelsea needing to notice that their not

West Virginia was the team that played tough defense and scored on important possessions on Saturday. Henrickson could only wo nder
why her team failed to match that toughness.
The loss drops Kansas' record to 14-8, and 5-6 in the Big 12. West Virginia is now 6-6 against the conference and moves ahead of Kansas in the standings with seven games
left in the regular season.
"It's not about who you play," Henrickson said. "It's not about where you play. It's about how you play."

COLUMN FROM PAGE 1A
With that said, this game defines the season.
Pictures of a bar sign in Manhattan read, "Well KU, we waited till basketball season and here we sit in first."
A Kansas State victory will give Kansas two straight losses in Allen Fieldhouse for the first time since the 1988-89 season when Kansas lost four consecutive home contests. The loss would make Kansas 11-2 in the Fieldhouse this season, its most home losses since a 16-2 mark in 2006-07.
Fortunately, Kansas has dominated its little brother on James Naismith court.
The Jayhawks have a six-game winning streak at home against the Wildcats. And on Big Monday games, Kansas in 26-1, including 14-0 under Bill Self.
A victory tonight could inbue the Jayhawks with some confidence and rekindle the fire for the quest of their ninth straight Big 12 title.
Remember, even though the eight-straight conference titles are unprecedented, Kansas is used to not being at the top of the list throughout the whole season.
Last year, Missouri challenged the Jayhawks and almost escaped the Big 12 on its move to the SEC with the title, only falling two games short of tying Kansas.
In 2010-11, Kansas finished the Big 12 season on a five-game winning streak to beat out Texas by one game.
Even in the 2007-08 championship year, Kansas barely received a share of the Big 12 title with Texas because of an 83-80 Longhorn loss to Texas Tech late in the season.
Though Kansas trails Kansas State in the standings, it's a problem that has been fixed in previous years.
Sure, Kansas had a crappy week, but the team is still 19-4. There is plenty of basketball to be played and this year, no team has looked completely dominant.
So, instead of hitting the panic button, stand up and stick with this team.
Just like previous players that have worn the Kansas jerseys, this team will find a way to bounce back.
An inspirational speech from Bill Pullman as President Thomas J. Whitmore in the film "Independence Day"completely describes Kansas basketball. With the human race on the brink of extinction, the president calls together the nation, saying, "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on, we're going to survive."
It is that mentality which will forever define Kansas basketball.

From early February to mid-April, these experts will fill hours of air time analyzing every single draft prospect in this year's class ad nauseam. Teams won't even report to training camp until July, so long story short, the NFL offseason can (and will) become a little dry to its fans with so much talk and so little actual football.
This year, however, a new topic will find its way onto talk shows and into newspaper clippings: minority representation in NFL coaching and managerial positions.
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
"Black Monday," the day after the NFLs final regular season game, is always replete with firings and subsequent hirings for coaching and managerial positions. For some, it is a day that calls for celebration; for others, it is a day of disappointment and reflection. Despite its name, this day has always had a particularly "white" undertone.
According to the 2012 Racial and Gender Report Card: National Football League report from tidesport.org, in 2011, 81 percent of NFL head coaches were white (16 percent black); 67 percent of assistant coaches were white (32 percent black); 100 percent of CEOs were white; and 81 percent of general managers were white (19 percent black), while 31 percent of NFL players were white and 67 percent were black. Based on these statistics, if you are black and don't run a 4.5 forty or bench 400 pounds, you probably won't hear your
phone ringing, no matter how much football you may know.
According to the same tidesport.org report, half of the 12 teams in the 2011-2012 playoffs had either a black head coach or general manager: two head coaches and four general managers. Are they "genetically" privy to success as coaches? No, but it just goes to show that they have been successful in their own right.
The Rooney Rule, established in 2003, requires that NFL teams interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operations jobs. It was established to ensure that minority coaches were at the very least considered for high-level coaching positions. Several critics have found loopholes in this rule though.
Herm Edwards, a former player and former head coach of the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs, said in an interview with Yahoo: "I am not saying that you have to hire a minority candidate. I am saying you can't be blinded. It can't be. 'Who is the guy to interview to get this out of the
KU
way?"
The last black head coach hired outright, other than from internal promotions, was Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin in 2007.
Should a coach be hired based on skin color and not on merit? No. Just like an undersized white tailback should not take the job from a more deserving black player. That would be injurious to the integrity of the game, where the best players play and the best coaches coach.
Equality of opportunity is a little different than equality of outcome. Equality of opportunity should be enforced, but in that same vein, equality of outcome should not be required, either.

Hoosiers redeem last defeat with victory over Ohio State
There was no questioning their ability Sunday
Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 26 points.
Cody Zeller added 24 and Christian Watford 20
to lead No. 1 Indiana back from a demoralizing
loss to a huge road win in beating No. 10 Ohio
State 81-68 on Sunday.
Tallahassee, Florida
Boy, did they. The Hoosiers dominated the second half while making some history and staying in the thick of the Big Ten race.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — After a stunning loss,
the Indiana Hoosiers were on a mission to reafirm
just how good they were.
"It it was putting teams away, playing to win and not just playing for the time to run out," Zeller said of the lessons learned from an upset loss at Illinois on Thursday. "So, we made that adjustment pretty well."
"We knew we let one get away from us," Watford said. "At that point you just have to move on to the next one."

The Hoosiers were coming off an epic collapse
Less than three days later, they more than rebounded with a signature win in hostile territory.
that might have caused the undoing of many teams. The Illini went on a 13-2 run to close the game, with Indiana turning the ball over late and then allowing an uncontested layup at the buzzer of a 74-72 shocker.
The victory was Indiana's first against a Top-10 conference opponent in more than 20 years since a win in 1993 at Iowa. It was also the Hoosiers' first win against any team in the top 10 on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2000.
"From the very beginning after we lost the other night, the biggest thing for our team was we were not going to spend a lot of our time worrying about bouncing back," coach Tom Crean said. "I'm proud of the way these guys responded from a very tough loss."
Indiana, now 3-0 against Top-10 teams this year, stayed in lock step with the leaders in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are now tied with Michigan State (9-2) in the Big Ten standings. Michigan and Wisconsin are next at 8-3, followed by Ohio State at 7-4.
The Hoosiers — mostly their trumvirate of Oladipo, Zeller and Wattord — always seemed come up with a big play when most needed.
"Today we got a lot of really good basketball from Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller and Christian Watford," Crean said. "(They) played as well as a triangle — three guys — that you could get. And it was on both ends of the floor."

The Kansas swimming and diving team continued its strong performance Saturday as it defeated Iowa State 190-106 in the two-day home dual meet.

The team swept all eight events on Saturday, bringing the final tally of first-place finishes to 15 out of a possible 16. Senior Brooke Brull led the team on Saturday with two first-place wins, both season-best times, during her last home meet. Her first-place finishes came in the 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard individual medley.
ended her senior season with a lot of momentum. We are very pleased with her performance today. She did a really good job of leading the did way with the seniors."
The other Kansas first-place finishes went to senior Svetlana Golovchun, juniors Alison Lusk and Malia Johnson, sophomore Deanna Marks and freshmen Meredith Brownell and Haley Molden. Golovchun and Molden tied in the 100-yard freestyle, Lusk won the 200-yard breaststroke, Johnson led the 500-yard freestyle, Marks triumphed in the 100-yard butterfly and Brownell earned first place in the one-meter diving event. Brownell's score of 291.07 qualified her for the NCAA Zone Diving Championship.
Iowa State was led by senior Dani Harris and sophomore Sarah Deis. Harris placed second in the 200-yard backstroke and third in the 200-yard IM. Deis placed second in the 200-vard IM.
"Overall, it was a great performance and one of our better dual meets this season," Fox said in a KU Athletics news release. "We are really excited about where we are. We are going into Big 12s with a lot of momentum, and that was one of our goals for this weekend."
This meet marked the last time eight Kansas seniors would compete at home. Next up is the Big 12 Championships, from Feb. 27 to March 2 in Austin, Texas.

JOSEPH DAUGHERTY

The Jayhawks rolled to the Florida International Tournament championship Sunday, where they fell short to the North Carolina State Wolfpack, 3-2.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks played Georgetown twice, defeating them both times. In the first game against Georgetown, the Jayhawks earned their second run-rule victory of the Florida International Tournament by beating the Hoyas 9-1 in six innings. The Jayhawks were fueled by senior left fielder Maggie Hull's fourth career grand slam. The Jayhawks earned the No. 1 seed in the tournament with their victory against the Hoyas. The Jayhawks played the Hoyas for the second time later Saturday and defeated them 5-2. The offense was still clicking, and freshman Alex Hugo was a double short of hitting for the cycle while driving in four runs. This victory put Kansas in the championship game against
NC State.
"We want to win championships, and it starts with these tournaments," head coach Megan Smith said. "So it's good that we're taking care of business."
Kansas faced NC State for the second time this season in the championship game of the tournament. The second meeting against NC State proved to be much more difficult than the first. In the first meeting, the Jayhawks rolled over NC State, 8-0 in six innings. In the second meeting, the Jayhawks fell short and lost their first game of the season, despite a two-run first inning and a solid relief performance from freshman pitcher Kelsey Kessler.
"We came out really strong; they answered back, and then we just kind of fell flat, which is something we don't normally do," Smith said. "So we've challenged them to be fighters from inning one to inning seven. We had a great weekend nonetheless."
The jayhawks relied on a strong offense and solid pitch.
ing throughout the weekend. As a team, Kansas hit .373 for the weekend, scoring 30 runs on 53 hits. The Jayhawk pitchers held teams to a .217 batting average and struck out'33 batters.
Strong performances from a few familiar faces and one newcomer powered the Jayhawks through the tournament. Hull seemed to start the season just the way she left off last season when she led the Big 12 in hitting. Redshirt junior Alex Jones seems to be showing no ill effects from her torn ACL last season, and Hugo had a huge weekend as well. The duo of Jones and Hugo finished the weekend 19 for 31(.613) with 11 runs scored.
The Jayhawks will next travel to Auburn, Ala., to play in the Tiger Invitational. Kansas will play Indiana State in the first game Feb. 15 at 5:30 p.m.

Duke pulls off narrow win against Boston College, 62-61
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski watched as all three teams ahead of the Blue Devils in The Associated Press Top 25 lost this week. Then he came to Chestnut Hill and nearly joined them.
"Nothing about today was easy," Krzzyzewski said Sunday night after No. 4 Duke overcame early and late deficits to beat Boston College 62-61. "These are games anybody can lose, and throughout the country everybody is losing them. Our guys found a way to win against a team that was also deserving to win, so that's a real good thing."
Mason Plumlee had 19 points and 10 rebounds, hitting the game-winning free throw with 26 seconds left to lead Duke (21-2, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) to its fifth consecutive win. Seth Curry added 18 points for the Blue Devils.
Olivier Hanlan scored 20 points for Boston College, which led by five points with 2:15 left and had a chance to win it after
TENNIS
Duke went scoreless for the first five minutes of the game and trailed by as many as eight points, 13-5, in the first half. It led 21-14 before scoring 11 of the next 14 points, taking its first lead of the game on Plumlee's three-point play with 1 minute left in the first half.
TYLER ROSTF/KANSAN
Sophomore Maria Belen Ludueta serves the ball to the opposing side of the court in a meet on Saturday, Feb. 1. Belen Ludueta has been undeleted in doubles play until a loss this weekend against the University of Tulsa.
Plumlee made one of two free throws.
It was 27-all at the half before Curry and Cook hit 3-pointers and Curry followed with a four-point play that gave Duke a 39-24 lead.
University of Tulsa defeats Jayhawks in Sunday meet

The Kansas tennis team fell to the No. 23 ranked University of Tulsa 5-2 on Sunday after starting its spring season 2-0.
A few bright spots for the ladies came in singles play from Dylan Windom and Anastasija Trubica. Tulsa went 4-2 in singles play to wrap up its victory and is now 6-2 on the season. Freshman Maria Jose Cardona
6
went up against the ITA singles No. 124 in Samantha Vickers and was bested (6-1, 6-1).
An easy way to tell this was an off-day for Kansas is that Paulina Los didn't have a win. In her previous two matches, Los had yet to see a loss. She and sophomore Maria Belen Luduena had been undefeated in doubles play, but Tulsa changed that.
No loss is welcome, but some losses are valuable in that lessons can be learned. With playing the best players in the country nothing comes easy, and head coach Amy Hall-Holt knows that. But she is pleased with how her team is competing and thinks it is still on the right track.
Kansas isn't back in action until Feb. 15 when the team travels to Charleston, S.C., to take on Charleston Southern. On Feb. 16, the Jayhawks go up against No. 66 College of Charleston. Kansas doesn't return to action in Lawrence until Feb. 23 when the Kentucky Wildcats come to town.

Kansas bounces back with 83-62 win over Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Last season, senior center Jeff Withey bloodied his lip in a game and gave a vicious stare.
From there the picture circled around the Internet, eventually being coined the "Withey Face"
With 12:39 remaining in the second half, the signature Withe face made another appearance in Kansas' 83-62 victory over Kansas state in the biggest win of the series since Feb. 2007.
he 7-foot center rabbed a pass in the lane from freshman Jamari Traylor and stuffed the ball straight over Kansas State's Jordan Henriquez. This time, Henriquez was
When the play was over and the foul was called, Withey flexed his lanky frame and screamed with emotion as the adrenaline rushed through his veins.
Behind him, the student section fanned Withey with extended arms, all the students flashing a "W" for Withey as the cool air rushed onto the court.
"Jamari gave me a perfect pass and went up and dunked it," Withey said. "It was awesome. It gave us some momentum, and it was just a monkey off my back."
The other major accomplishment for Withey was breaking the all-time Kansas blocks record previously held by Greg Ostertag.
"It feels good," Withey said. "I'm not satisfied obviously. I want to break the conference record, too. It's cool, but I still have some work to do."
This was a crucial game for Kansas' basketball season, and for the first time in a few weeks, the team played with coolness and confidence.
The other important factor of the night, other than Withey, was consistent point guard in particular from sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe in the first half.
"I think Naadir played great, the best half of basketball since he's been here," coach Bill Self said. "He was absolutely terrific tonight. We needed him to be. We had a lot of guys play well, but he was one of our key performers, especially in the first half"
Making solid passes while also knocking down some crucial threes to extend Kansas' lead early in the first half, Tharpe proved invaluable after Kansas' struggles at that position for over two weeks.
"Coach has been getting on us about being fast a lot," Tharpe said. "He tells us to just go out there and play. I felt like a lot of time, we really weren't running any sets. We were just out there playing together, and the game was flowing."
Also giving Kansas some major energy was senior forward Kevin Young, who threw down several dunks, while Tharpe found him streaking toward the basket.
"I just went out there a played for my teammates," Tharpe said. "Coach was nagging about me getting in the lane and Kevin was available a lot of times."
Young scrapped around the rim as well picking up nine rebounds mainly on the defensive end.
He also had a moment in the first half where he showed off his passing skills.
On one play in particular, midway through the second half, Young dribbled the ball down the court with a smile that continued to grow bigger as he moved farther down. Eventually, he lobbed the perfect ball to Jeff Withey for the slam.
It's been a rough few games for this program. A loss at home, an upset for the ages suffered against TCU and then a defeat in Norman to an average Oklahoma game.
Most people surrounding Kansas were worried if this team might be sliding down a slippery slope to mediocrity and putting another conference title out of reach.
Instead, they got an answer last night, thanks in part to Withey, his physicality and his priceless facial expression.
Now, tied again atop the Big 12 standings, Kansas hopes that does not change for the rest of the year.
"We're definitely a first place team." Withey said. "We see ourselves as one of the best teams in the nation, and that's not going to change. We lost three in row, but we're going to spin that into a positive and learn from it. Eventually, that's going to make us better than everybody else."

For the first time, Student Senate joined forces with the student governments from other Kansas universities to lobby legislators today in Topeka.
More than 150 students from the University, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State University and Emporia State University went in groups of four or five to convince state representatives and senators to oppose bills that would allow concealed carry of weapons in university-owned buildings and prohibit any undocumented students from paying an in-state tuition rate.
"These are important issues," said Zach George, the Senate's government relations director, focusing on Gov. Sam Brownback's proposed cut to higher education funding. "If the higher education is cut by 8 percent,
which is currently in the budget, you might see an increase in state tuition, and that's going to greatly impact students who are wanting to take the effort to educate themselves so they can be in the work force."
"We gave our long spiel, and he understood our position even though he is a big gun-rights supporter."
MACKENZIE OATMAN Senate Executive Secretary
Some students were new to the process, like Senate Executive Secretary MacKenzie Oatman.
Although she found it "a little nerve-wracking," Oatman said that George did a good job of preparing them to meet with the legislators.
Her first meeting was with
Rep. Willie Dove, R-Bonner Springs.
Edited by Madison Schultz
"He invited us into his office and let us all sit down," Oatman said. "He was very understanding. We gave our long spiel, and he understood our position even though he is a big gun-rights supporter. He agreed that the University should decide it."
By teaming up with other universities, Senate members got to mingle with peers from all over Kansas.
"There definitely was a little bit between K-State and us," Oatman said, referencing the men's basketball game against the Wildcats. "We know them pretty well, their student government. So there was some playful bantering going on between meetings."

Woodard said that they decided to release these platforms now because they are fairly confident they can achieve them if elected.
CAMPUS SAFETY FOR THE GSP/
CORBIN AREA
KUnited plans to work with campus safety officials to add lighting between the end of Jayhawk Boulevard and the entrances to GSP and Corbin the area
to ensure students a safe walk home at night.
NOTIFICATION OF GRADES POSTED
NITHICATION OF GRADES POSTED KUinited aims to develop a notification system that alerts students when their semester grades are posted. Woodard said this will be an easy fix to students constantly checking grades in the last few weeks of the semester.
HYDRATION STATIONS
Increasing sustainability on campus is a constant process. KUnited plans to add a bottle-filling capability to the water fountains in each building.
CREATE A COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES HONOR CODE
Unlike some of the other schools on campus, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences does not have an across-the-board honor code. KUnited intends to work with the college to install an honor code to be used when students submit exams and academic work.
Woodard and Bengtson will develop the rest of their platforms before election campaigning kicks off.

Latin Americans hope for local pope
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO — From the parishes of Poland to the churches of Chile, Roman Catholics around the world were stunned Monday at the first papal resignation in six centuries, even as many prayed for a new charismatic pontiff who could lead the church into a new era after decades of disaffection and mistrust.
Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto, Canada, echoed the sentiments of many of the faithful Monday when he said, "It was quite a shock. I was like, 'The pope has resigned?'"
"We received the news with great regret and much surprise," said Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, who was discussed as a possible successor to Pope John Paul II when he died in 2005. "This is something completely new for the Catholic Church though it was discussed during the illness of Pope John Paul II. I didn't know Pope Benedict XVI would make this decision, but the last time I talked to him he seemed physically tired."
Alis Ramirez, an ice cream seller headed to church in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, insisted, "He can't quit like that. This can't be."
"I don't care or feel sorry that the Pope resigned because he never entered my heart like John Paul II did," said Rosita Mejia,
But a few didn't consider it bad news at all.
who sells religious icons outside La Merced church in downtown Santiago, Chile. "In fact, it's good that he leaves. He's done his job and it's time for him to rest. In five years outside this church, only one person asked me for a Benedict stamp, while hundreds asked for John Paul's stamp."

"I don't care or feel sorry that the Pope resigned... He's done his job and it's time for him to rest."
"It's not normal for the pope to resign. I just hope health is the real reason. There were a lot of issues coming out with the pope's butter papers," said Prado, referring to the scandal over a former butler stealing documents from the papal apartment.
Merced, where he has been the sexton for more than 25 years.
the pope's announcement that he will step aside on Feb. 28 brought reawakened calls for a more energetic successor, perhaps from Africa or Latin America — long considered a bulwark against continued losses in church membership in Europe and the United States.
While the church has been battered by growing secularism and sex abuse scandals in the northern hemisphere, the number of believers is growing in Africa, as well as Latin America.
"Europe today is going through a period of cultural tiredness, exhaustion, which is reflected in the way Christianity is lived," said Bishop Antonio Marto, of Fatima in central Portugal. "You don't see that in Africa or Latin America where there is a freshness, an enthusiasm about living the faith."
In Latin America, home to about 40 percent of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, believers hoped the cardinals who select Benedict's successor will pay close attention to candidates from their region.
"I think it's time to name a pope from Latin America," 65-year-old homemaker Josefa Sanchez said at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Santa Tecla, a city on the outskirts of El Salvador's capital of San Salvador.

Casual lectures promote scientific discussion
PAGE 3
REID EGGLESTON
reggleston@kansan.com
It started off as a whim, really. An optimistic thought with the intent of bringing together the KU and Lawrence community over a pint and a discussion on the scientific discoveries KU faculty had to offer.
Now, Jenny Humphrey and Chuck Magerl, co-founders of the program Science on Tap, look at how the lecture series has transformed its regular attendees, its host bar and its city.
Science on Tap began three years ago as a collaborative public outreach initiative between the KU Natural History Museum and Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., to bring the wonder of scientific discoveries made atop the hill to an engaged Lawrence community.
"Our topics have ranged over everything from dark energy and black holes to evolution and the fossil record to human sexuality", Free State Brewery owner and Science on Tap co-founder Chuck Magerl said.
With the strategy of dropping a bit of knowledge between a meal and a few drinks, Science on Tap entices the attendee to learn something new from scientific hot topics in an open, relaxed environment.
"I just went for the sheer interest," said Madison Outlaw, a freshman from Overland Park. "The fact that it's normal people going to hear about a topic that matters
inside and outside the academic level helped spur my decision to go."
And it's not just students who are benefiting. Two years ago, Michael Vitevitch, a cognitive psychology professor and an advocate of addressing the simple questions that will help solve psychology's stickiest issues, presented at Science on Tap on the role of language in establishing human networks.
"The people who came made some interesting comments," Vitevitch said. "People raised issues that my colleagues and I would overlook — issues that we started to look into further."
Vitevitch acknowledges that the scientific process is "not a straight line", and that a wide array of resources must be tapped in order to gain meaningful and far-reaching discoveries.
"It really made me want to be the one to lead my field," Vitevitch said. "It made me want to take a basic finding and make it more tangible."
"A lot of the set-up comes from the scientists themselves," Magerl said. "These scientists around the community acknowledge that many of the intuitive developments don't come from a cubicle or hunched over a lab bench, but in a group of people, just talking and sharing time together."
Of course, at the heart of Science on Tap's campaign is the growth and awareness of the viewer. With a turnout of about 50 engaged
spectators each month. Science on Tap allows for a complex interplay between all those fascinated by the topic, whether they are experts in the field or laymen intrigued by the implications of a scientific topic.
"People could ask whatever they wanted, and, of course, these are doctors and researchers, so they know how to address a question, but they help everyone there understand what their take on a certain
"We're taking advantage of the best the University has to offer and where it leads us."
CHUCK MAGERL Science on Tap Co-Founder
For Maldonado, the appeal isnt just having questions answered, though. It's also about realizing the applicability of skills and knowledge gained over three years of college experience.
issue is," said Kacey Maldonado, a junior from Hutchinson.
"The program raises questions, but it also helps reinforce what you already know," Maldonado said. "You can be confident going into it that you'll learn something, but you'll also feel comfortable in that what you knew before coming in can be applied to something in the future."
One of the major draws of the program is the opportunity to knock down a Free State burger while spending time in a back-and-forth discussion on a pressing topic.
"Well, of course, I wish I would have ordered food during it, because seeing it being walked around on an empty stomach was brutal." Outlaw said. "If you're interested in a topic, you should definitely go to ask questions."
The idea of providing academic dialogue in a nonconfrontational setting has extended to universities and other centers of learning across the United States. Magerl's ambition is to eventually spread this program throughout Kansas. He even points out his idea of promoting Free State's program as a traveling event, taking it to corners of Kansas far beyond the hills of Oread.
"One of the wonderful features of Lawrence is the learning experience." Magerl said. "Even if you're not a student, the community of minds provides just a wealth of information. If we can keep our minds thrilled, it's an invigorating part of life. We're taking advantage of the best the University has to offer and where it leads us."
Science on Tap not only encourages viewers to raise questions that challenge the speaker and the beliefs of the audience, but also dares them to think about things through a critical eye and bring this thought process to the rest of
the population.
"Just look at Congress to see how uninfluenced by data people are," Vitevitch said. "I think that's changing. People are beginning to see the value of information, and the information itself is getting better."
Still, at the core of the experience is the search for a fire in the belly and an event that will shift the way attendees view the vastness and intricacy of the natural world.
"Every month, there's at least someone who has that illuminated moment, almost like knowledge is being cross-pollinated among a group of people," Magerl said.
The next meeting will take place March 12 with a look at the role gut microbiomes have in alcoholic liver disease.

The Lawrence Arts Center and Raven Book Store, 8 E. 7th St., have awarded Becky Moldbaum and Brendan Allen the Langston Hughes Creative Writing Awards.
Mandelbaum, a senior from
Manderbault Wichita, was awarded for excellence in fiction writing, and Allen, a senior from Phillipsburg, won the award for his work in poetry. Both

winners are English majors with
emphases in creative writing. Allen and Mandelaum each
received a $500 prize, and their work was celebrated at a ceremony at the Lawrence Arts Center on Feb. 1, Langston Hughes' birthday.
Allen
Mandelbaum's submission was a coming-of-age short story that she began working on in the fall of 2011. The story follows a 13-year-old Jewish girl who is studying for her Bat Mitzvah.
"I haven't written anything else like this, but I like writing with
a younger narrator," Mandelbaum said. "It's easier to write about childhood because you have time to reflect on your own."
Allen submitted a collection of 15 poems that were all written during different times in his life.
"Some poems I started years ago and just finished recently, and other work was finished a day or two before I submitted them," Allen said. "Sometimes there are poems that just don't click until later."
Many of Allen's poems are influenced by ecology-minded poetry and the connections among people, language and the environment.
In 2011, Mandelbaum and Allen both won scholarships from the department of English. Allen was
also awarded the Henry Matthew Wiedner Award from the department in 2012.
Mandelbaum's current goal is to complete the novel she began writing last fall. The novel stems from a short story she wrote about a trip to a Texas animal sanctuary with KU Alternative Breaks.
Allen and Mandelbaum both plan to eventually attend graduate school, and they cite their educations within the KU department of English as one of their major influences.
"My writing has been influenced by being in college and being in an academic environment,"
Mandelbaum said. "It's a good community, and it's a good place to be a young writer."

Repetition of material not beneficial
Repetition is a key to learning in the modern classroom. However, it cannot displace expectations. Rather than repeat a section that has already been covered in prerequisite courses, professors should expect their students to know the foundational material. This isn't always the case. Often, a professor will simply reteach the prerequisite material. This repetition that displaces expectation is hurting college education.
Repetition has spun out of control within my beloved economics department. I'm sure other departments and disciplines struggle to find a balance between repetition and expectation too. But, because I happen to be studying economics, I will use my economics classes to explain.
We learn a great deal about cost curves in economics. In summary, cost curves model the relationships between the cost of production and the quantity produced.
ECON 142, Principles of Microeconomics, covered cost curves. We learned about what they were and discussed their significance. ECON 520, Intermediate Microeconomics,
covered the same cost curves. We learned about what they were and discussed their significance. This time, we talked about their algebraic relationships too. Finally ECON 600, Industrial Organization, just last week covered cost curves again. Unsurprisingly, we learned about what they were and discussed their significance. This time, we discussed some calculus relationships inherent to cost curves.
I say "some" calculus because many KU economics professors readily admit that they are not supposed to use calculus in their undergraduate courses. The only "calculus" that we've dabbed in has to do with instantaneous rates of change. How fast is Ben McLemore running when he first gets the steal? How fast is he running ten feet from the basket? Five feet from the basket? These are all examples of instantaneous rates of change.
Math isn't for everyone. No one has to understand calculus to live a great, fulfilling life.
By Chris Ouyang
couyang@kansan.com
However, this aversion to calculus is troubling considering two calculus courses are graduation requirements for any KU economics student. Still, professors
are leery when it comes to even mentioning the calculus foundation for our economic models. It's crazy to think that at our age Isaac Newton was looking at the skies and developing calculus to explain planetary motion. Fast forward a few centuries, and here I am writing a column, afraid to use the word "derivative," and instead opting for a roundabout McLemore analogy and the reader-friendly "instantaneous rate of change." it's maddening to think that calculus is required for graduation but not a part of core classes.
What's worse is that we must spend a month covering the same cost curves every single year, slowly building up to being able to even mention calculus. I cringe when I hear an instructor say, "Now you may have seen this before," while pointing at a cost
curve. May have? Of course we've seen it before. We've seen it every single year. The only difference this time is that this explanation of a cost curve involves the slightest amount of calculus, which we probably should have been using from the start.
Although dull and draining, professors continue to reteach cost curves year after year instead of expecting students to know them. On the flip side, students are perfectly fine with that. It's easy to just sit back and listen to something we've heard before. It's as if students and professors mutually agree that the expectation of learning exactly what was learned last year is fine. It's an unspoken pact that our instruction and our learning, as a result of students and professors, will be subpar. This culture of complacency is sucking the life out of what college education could be.
Why couldn't we learn about cost curves as freshman, research cost of production data to model ideal cost curves as sophomores and then compare our ideal models to local businesses as Juniors?
Instead, we learn the same relationships, the same equations and a splash a little calculus on it
just to mix it up.
We could build up our educations rather than replace the foundation over and over. Instead of graduating with magnificent education castles, we leave KU four years later with the same foundation that we finished freshman year. There is no excuse to not know cost curve calculations the third time around. You may not have the same distinct experience as I have with cost curves, but surely you understand the feeling — the feeling of time wasted, underachieving and restlessness.
Maybe you have the desire for discovery, the intellectual curiosity that keeps telling you this repetition is not OK. I know where I stand. In fact, I'm hoping that come next fall, we won't review cost curves in ECON 700, Survey of Microeconomics. You can expect me to know what they are.

Whale community a place to find inspiration on land
If you are looking for a new role model, I suggest turning your attention to the ocean.
I'll be honest; I love whales a little more than the average person. I was in fifth grade at the Shedd Aquarium when I decided I was going to devote my life in pursuit of becoming a Beluga Whale Trainer.
I think there is a lot to learn from these magnificent creatures. Whales exemplify ideals that we all wish we could live up to everyday. Yes, there are plenty of examples within our human life, but there is something about whales that makes daily inspiration just a little more potent.
By Jenny Stern
jstern@kansan.com
Whales accept everyone. Although behavioral ecologists Alexander Wilson and Jens Krause warn about reading too much into this story, ScienceNOW reports over a group of sperm whales that have taken in a bottlenose dolphin with a spine deformity. It is speculated that this disfigured dolphin either couldn't keep up or was kicked out of his dolphin group. Sperm whales don't usually commingle with other species so although cautioned, I still think this is adorable and inspiring. Alexander Wilson and Jens Krauser reported reciprocated nuzzling; if that doesn't scream acceptance, I'm not sure what does.
Whales really know how to take a deep breath. Whales can exchange 85 to 90 percent of their air while humans exchange about 15 percent. You may be thinking it is because they have way bigger lungs, yet as Alex
Brylske said, whales have about half the lung volume of terrestrial mammals proportionally.
Whales relate to others, even if it means speaking another language. Recently, a beluga whale named NOC received a lot of attention for mimicking human conversation. He transcended his normal octaves to make humanlike sounds. BBC reports, the mimicry was not easy. To amplify the comparatively low-frequency parts of the vocalizations, NOC over-inflated the vestibular sac in his blowhole, which usually keeps water from entering the lungs.
Whales know how to love. Patrick Hof and Estel Van Der Gucht of the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology discovered the presence of spindle cells in humpback whales, fin whales, killer whales and sperm whales. Based on the human experience of these cells, this discovery suggests that whales are capable of experiencing love as well as deep-rooted emotional suffering
Whales have a unique culture. According to Reader's, Professor Hal Whitehead said, "until a few hundred thousand years ago most of the culture was in the ocean. Certainly the most
sophisticated cultures on Earth were whales and dolphins, until the strange bipedal hominid evolved." Each species has a different culture much like different populations of humans have different cultures. Their culture hinges on their method of communication, their pod structure and their hunting technique. Each species has a set of societal rules much like us. Lori Marino, a member of the group of scientists who produced Declaration of Rights for Cetacea, said, "killer whales, for instance, do not kill or even seriously harm one another in the wild, despite the fact that there is competition for prey and mates and there are disagreements. Their social rules prohibit real violence, and they seem to have worked out a way to peacefully manage the partitioning of resources among different groups. That is something we humans haven't done yet."
Beyond respecting each other, whales show gratitude. New York Times reports that in December 2005, a humpback whale was trapped in crab-trap lines. A rescue team arrived and got in the water and cut her out. Once the whale was free, she continued to swim around the divers and returned and nudged them all gently as if to show her thanks.
So next time you are looking for some inspiration, think of our underwater friends. Where there is a whale, there is a way.

Cold War drama back in FX show
Would the writers avoid the multitude of spy story clichés? Would they just make it a story about conflicting ideologies, ignoring the characters? Would it be all action and no plot?
I've always had a not-so-soft obsession with American-Soviet relations during the Cold War. So when I heard about FX's newest TV addition, "The Americans," I was thrilled.
"The Americans" focuses on Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Phillip Jennings (Matthew Rhys). KGB spies living in America during the 1980s. But even with the amazing promos, I had my concerns.
Spoiler alert, but so far, none of the above.
It's only two episodes in, but they've managed to avoid too much action and give the characters some depth. Philip is struggling with his loyalty to the motherland and is considering defecting to America, while Elizabeth is determined to follow orders, but her relationship with Philip and her children might be the downfall of her unshakeable loyalty.
I'm fascinated with the interaction between Elizabeth and Philip, and I can't wait to see how their relationship progresses throughout the show. A fake marriage to create a better identity in America? An expectation of children and affection between the two by their Russian bosses? Yeah, that is going to create an interesting relationship. Especially as the tension between the Soviet Union and the United States escalates, and their assignments become more and more dangerous.
My only complaint is that I wish there would have been more flashbacks in the second episode. I want to know how they created their identities and how they grew to be an actual couple from such a scenario. But the pilot gave us plenty of those, showing us Elizabeth's training in the motherland and the couple's
The physical skills of the characters are realistic, and all the spy technology is practical and believable. They aren't perfect. Elizabeth and Phillip make mistakes, feel and doubt like normal people.
first meeting.
For the first time in my entire life, I'm actually rooting for the Russians. And that isn't something I thought I would ever say.
There are also moments where it got a little weird. Like how Elizabeth and Phillip are married but regularly use sex to get information. Or how Philip and his daughter Paige (who happens to know nothing about her parents being Russian spies and is a model American capitalist) encounter a pedophile in the mall.
The only cliché I've encountered is the arrival of the Jennings' new neighbor, Stan Beeman, an FBI Agent who happens to be currently working to flush out all KGB spies living in America. Of course, this is purely by accident, and Beeman has no idea he's living next to two highly-trained KGB operatives. What a coincidence.

From what I've seen so far,
"The Americans" isn't going to
be a happy-g lucky type show.
There is going to be angst, angst
and more angst. But that's sort of
necessary for a storyline like this.
I can't wait to learn more about their training and the political war going on in the background.
To check out this show for yourself, flip to FX on Wednesdays at 9 p.m.

I am a fashion designer. I create clothing that is both stylish and functional. My designs are inspired by nature and human experience, and they reflect the latest trends in fashion.

Dress to impress at Career Fair
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
The University Career Fair is around the corner, and New York Fashion Week has provided endless work-friendly clothing inspirations for students to wow potential employers. Several designers had "working girl" themes for their Fall/Winter 2013 collections, like Rag & Bone, Rebecca Minkoff and Jill Stuart.
When dressing for interviews or anything job related, it's always best to keep it simple. You want to look nice and professional without being inappropriate or distracting. A safe way to do this is by going the always-appropriate black and white route. A fitted black pencil skirt and a crisp white blouse will never go out of style. Be sure that
your skirt isn't too short; aim for right above or below the knee.
As for shoes, we all know that heels can be dreadful to wear, especially if you're on your feet all day. If you're heading for an interview, though, make the effort. To me, a pair of great heels is far more impressive than ballet flats. Once again, keep it clean and simple in the footwear category. Pointy black pumps would work great for this, but be sure that they aren't sky-high platforms or open-toe. You don't want to distract your potential employer with extravagant shoes. I'd wait until I actually have the job to do that.
There were a lot of similarities seen on outwear for Fall/Winter 2013. Blazers and fitted trench coats were seen everywhere and are perfectly acceptable for occasions both in and out of the office. Keep the colors neutral, and you've got yourself a piece that can be worn with almost anything.
Most importantly, make sure you feel confident in whatever you're wearing. If skirts and heels aren't your thing, go for a pair of black pants and loafers. If you're not comfortable in what you're wearing, it'll show. Whatever you wear, make sure it's well-fitted and appropriate, and you'll be set. I'd never thought I'd say it, but it is more about the interview itself than the clothes.

Women detained for wearing male clothing
JERUSALEM — Israeli police Monday detained 10 women, including the sister of American comic Sarah Silverman, as they tried to pray at a Jerusalem holy site, the head of a liberal Jewish women's group said.
Anat Hoffman, who was among those detained, said the women were stopped because they were wearing religious garb that Orthodox Judaism reserves for men only. The incident occurred at the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites.
Silverman's sister Susan, a Jerusalem rabbi from the liberal Reform stream of Judaism was detained along with her teenage daughter.
Sarah Silverman wrote on her Facebook page that she was "SO proud of her sister and niece for their "civil disobedience." The original post included more explicit language typical of Silverman's humor.
The women belong to "Women of the Wall," a liberal group that goes to the Western Wall each month to worship. They conduct certain rituals, such as wearing prayer shawls and skullcaps and singing out loud, practices reserved for men under strict Orthodox interpretations of Judaism. Hoffman, who was among those detained, is chairwoman of the group.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the women were detained because they acted against court-ordered regulations that bar women from wearing prayer shawls at the Western Wall so as not to offend Orthodox Jewish worshipers. Rosenfeld said the women were released after several hours.

THE MORNING BREW College athletes should not be paid
Through the years, the controversial topic on whether or not college athletes should be paid has been a heated discussion that many people have strong opinions on. The subject was recently brought up to me when a friend told me about an article he read in The New York Times in support of paying college athletes. After reading the article myself, I became even more adamant as to why college athletes should not be paid.
The article by Joe Nocera states, "Instead of sweet-talking recruits, college coaches will instead offer athletes real contracts, just as professional teams do." What is wrong with this kind of system is that every program and university brings in different amounts of money annually for various reasons.
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
Just like professional sports, small-
market teams have a difficult time paying the high-valued athletes. If you take this concept and apply it to college athletics, the same result would occur because small conference schools, like the mid-majors, do not bring in as much money as a the power six conferences.
Later in the article, it mentions,
"Providing lifetime health insurance as
a benefit for anyone who plays at least two years of college ball is a no-brainer." A no-brainer? What about the 48.6 million people in this country that the U.S. Census Bureau says does not have any form of health insurance? What about them? When people in our country are struggling to pay for any kind of health insurance on their own, how is OK for college athletes to be entitled to lifetime insurance?
Considering so many college athletes are leaving school early nowadays, why would a school want to invest so much money into a player that may not even stay all fours years? With the scholarships already given, free tutoring provided, per diem money and everything else in between, giving them salary-type money just seems ridiculous and hard for me to comprehend.
KU
The value of a free education can never be underestimated. It takes years for some people to pay off their student loans, and for many college athletes, it is something they will never have to worry about. They already have so much going for them. How can money enhance their lives even more when they are practically already given everything they could ask for?

Celtics guard suffers knee injury amidst losing streak
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — All in all, Monday proved to be a painful night for the Boston Celtics.
Not only did the Celtics have their seven-game losing streak snapped at the hands of the NBA's worst team, but they might have suffered yet another costly injury in their 94-91 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.
Backup guard Leandro Barbosa, who has seen increased playing time since the season-ending injury to Rajon Rondo, injured his left knee late in the third quarter and had to be carried to the locker room by a trainer and teammate.
Coach Doc Rivers said Barbosa will have an MRI on Tuesday.
"It doesn't look great but we'll
see," Rivers said.
All of that came crashing down Monday night.
In the seven games since Rondo's injury Barbosa had averaged nine points while playing an average of 22.5 minutes. The Celtics had won all seven games.
This night belonged to Charlotte's unheralded big man, Byron Mullens.
The four-year NBA veteran turned in a career game with 25 points and 18 rebounds as the Bobcats snapped a seven-game losing streak.
The 7-foot Mullens hit 10 of 16 shots from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range. Ramon Sessions had 19 points for the Bobcats, including the go-ahead jumper from 18 feet with 25.7 sec.
onds left. Kemba Walker naad 16 points, six assists and six rebounds, and Gerald Henderson chipped in with 16 points.
Mullens was playing his fifth game after missing 19 with an ankle injury.
“it's big time,” Walker said of Mullens' effort. “We need that from him. We need that from Byron and he can do it. We know he can do it every night. He is very capable. When he has big games like that, you know, I think that gives us a much better chance.”
Mullens said he was more pleased with his rebounding than his scoring "because that is not what I'm known for.
"I just have to show the league and this organization that I can rebound," he said.
Kevin Garnett had 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Celtics, but missed a key 18-footer that would have given Boston the lead late in the game. Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley had chances to send the game into overtime in the final seconds, but missed open 3-pointers.
Jeff Green had 18 points for the Celtics and Pierce finished with 13 points, eight assists and eight rebounds.
"We had a win streak going and we had momentum going," Celtics guard Courtney Lee said. "We wanted finish out the rest of these games going into the (All-Star) break. So it's definitely a letdown. This one hurts more because we had the lead with one minute to go."
It was a back-and-forth game
throughout.
After Henderson gave the Bobcats an 85-84 lead with 3:58 remaining, Jason Terry made a 3 from the wing and Garnett followed with a turnaround jumper in the lane to push the Boston lead to four.
It appeared as though the Bobcats were on their way to another fourth quarter collapse.
But trailing by four, Henderson hit a 3-point with 1:01 left. After Bradley missed an open jumper, Sessions came free off a screen and knocked down an 18-footer to give the Bobcats the lead with 25.7 seconds remaining.
The Celtics called timeout but Garnett missed from the left wing. Mullens grabbed his 18th rebound and the Walker made a pair of key
free throws to give the Bobcats a three-point lead with 14.8 seconds left.
Boston set up an inbounds play and Pierce got an open look but missed. He grabbed his own rebound and dished out to the wing for Bradley, but he missed a 3 as time expired.
Boston's loss came after a triple overtime win against Denver on Thursday night, but the Celtics refused to use fatigue as an excuse.
The Bobcats battled back in the third quarter behind 12 points from Mullens to take a 75-72 lead into the fourth. Mullens, who scored Charlotte's first 10 points of the game, did most of his damage from outside, knocking down 3-pointers and turnaround jumpers, showing great touch for a big man.

GEOFFREY CALVERT

As it turns out, all Kansas needed to regain its mojo was the same elixir they've used for the past 20 years: Kansas State.
The Jayhawks defeated their instate rival for the 46th time in the last 49 meetings with an 83-62 victory Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse, restoring order in Lawrence after a tumultuous three-game losing streak.
"Last week was a bad week for us," senior center Jeff Withey said. "We can't let that ever happen again. True fans are going to back us up no matter what. They showed us tonight. The Fieldhouse was packed, and they got us going."
The Allen Fieldhouse crowd made sure any thoughts of another poor performance by the Jayhawks were dumbbounded, giving the old barn its best pregame buzz of the season. Instead of moping about the three-game losing streak, the Fieldhouse Faithful came in angry, bearing signs and spewing venom at the Wildcats normally reserved for the team on the other side of the state border.
"The Fieldhouse, there's nothing like it, that's for sure," Withey said. "We needed that."
Freshman guard Ben McLemore led Kansas with 30 points, shooting 9-13 from the field and hitting six of his 10 three-point attempts. He hit his final 3-pointer with 46 seconds left, capping one of his best shooting performances after missing nine of his last 10 threes in Kansas' previous two losses.

me in the zone", McLemore said. "Especially Naadir finding me on the wing, just creating offensively, just getting me open."
Indeed, sophomore point guard Naadir Tharpe had possibly his best game in conference play, scoring seven points and dishing out eight assists while committing only one turnover.
Because it was more than just a one-man show, the romp resembled Kansas' early season victories, when it was common to see the Jayhawks score at least 40 points before

ety of dunks, reverse layups and tip-ins. He finished with 13 points on 6-9 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds.
"Coach was just basically nagging me about getting in the lane and finding people," Tharpe said. "Kevin was available a lot of times, so that was basically someone who I was finding a lot as well as Ben."
Young and Withey formed a one-two punch down low that the Wildcats had no answer for. With-
ey scored 17 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and swatted five Wildcat shots. His first block of the game against Thomas Gipson was Withey's 259th of his career, moving him past Greg Ostertag into first place on Kansas' career blocks list.
The victory moved Kansas to 20-4 overall and 8-3 in the Big 12. The Jayhawks are tied with Kansas State for first place in the Big 12, but Kansas owns the tiebaker by virtue of its two victories over the Wildcats. As the final minutes ticked off of the Jayhawks' 11th victory in the past 12 games against Kansas State, the Fieldhouse was filled with chants of "This is our state."
"I think that when we play well this is what our team is," Self said. "We acted like we were having a lot of fun out there and a lot of enthusiasm."

COMMENTARY Kansas is back? The Jayhawks never left
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
That's not to say there wasn't reason for concern, but it's also why many analysts who commented on Kansas' recent play said its problems were correctable.
There were signs all around Allen Fieldhouse pointing out the return of Kansas basketball. Some were more audible than others.
"Losing three in a row is a terrible deal." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "But what we're going through is what 99 percent of all teams in America go through. We've been so spoiled here because for a long time, we haven't had these stretches."
Of course, that assumes Kansas must have been missing, and that means it's time to point out the difference between a slump and a failure. Because if there's one thing that yesterday's 83-62 victory over Kansas State proved, it's that the Jayhawks never went anywhere.
After Saturday's loss at Oklahoma, ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla pointed out that the Jayhawks needed to work the ball inside and that Ben McLemore needed to stop passing up perimeter looks. Against K-State, McLemore shot 9-13 for 30 points, and Kansas scored 34 in the paint.
It was only halftime when Jayhawks fans were walking around the concourse exclaiming how "Kansas was back!"
The system was never broken. Self hadn't lost the team and if confidence was an issue, well, a 21-point victory will usually do the trick.
"It's been a rough week," Self said. "But there's reasons why it's been a rough week. I think we created a lot ourselves. We really didn't do the things we needed to do to get out of it."
But that's the thing about team sports. Energy, even when it's negative, has a powerful effect. Once one player starts sagging, it can make the whole team can look lost.
And in reality, it was a sleepwalking performance on offense against TCU and subpar defensive performance against the Sooners that caused the jayhawks slipup.
There's also no reason to start printing Big 12 championship t-shirts now that the Jayhawks are back in a tie for first place in the conference. This victory was only one in a season that has a long way to go, which is exactly what K-State's Shane Southwell was telling his teammates on the bench as time expired.
There was never a reason to say Kansas is back or that the Jayhawks had vanished. There was just a down spell — something this program didn't seen in a long time.
Edited by Taylor Lewis
"Keep your head up" Southwell repeated over and over. "It's just one game."
Kansas would be wise to take the same advice.

"I never realized how big of an effect it is," senior guard Elijah Johnson said. "When Ben saw me smiling, he smiles harder. When Travis sees me feeling confident, he feels more confident. That domino effect is something that people should really pay attention to. It shouldn't be underestimated."

of a year-old injury that left Davis with a greater love and appreciation of the game she plays.
The next
day, Saturday, the Jayhawks would lose a frustrating game, 72-56, to a West Virginia team they defeated a month earlier at WVU Coliseum. Davis, ranked sixth in the Big 12 with 15.2 points per game and tenth in the nation in field goal percentage at 56.6 percent, scored 14 points in the first half, but was then held scoreless in the second
Henrickson doesn't have to question whether her team has toughness — she knows it's there. She's seen this team's resiliency at least once before. But after the loss, she said it would be fair for a fan to leave the Fieldhouse wondering if the Jayhawks had their heads in the game.
"I thought we were soft," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We didn't win the toughness areas."
The Jayhawks have been through peaks and valleys since that earlier victory against West Virginia.
Two weeks ago, sophomore guard Natalie Knight tore her ACL after starting 19 games and averaging the second most minutes per game on the team.
The injury was difficult for Davis, seeing her teammate and friend experience the same pain she felt a year ago.
"It was devastating," Davis said at practice a week ago. "You never want to see somebody go down, especially someone who's young and never been through that, but at the same time it gives everyone strength. We're playing for her."
Last time, it was Davis that the Jayhawks were playing for.
MISSING PIECE
One year ago today, as Davis was carried off the Bramlage Coliseum court at Kansas State with a torn ACL and dislocated knee, her teammates stood watching, possibly wondering if their season had just gone down with their teammate.
"I'm sorry," Davis screamed as they took her away on a stretcher.
"It was a lot for a freshman to take on," Davis said. "Honestly, she just looked so much like me. She plays a lot like me. Just the way she got better so fast and seeing how she grew, it reminded me a lot of myself."
Gardner averaged 13 points and 11 rebounds per game in the NCAA tournament and filled the void left by Davis beautifully.
But Kansas' season didn't end with that injury. Instead, a 6-foot-3 freshman named Chelsea Gardner emerged dominant as the Jayhawks made their first run to a Sweet 16 in school history.
Gardner said she wasn't nervous; she was just focused on filling the team's missing piece.
"I just wanted to do what she did, and step in her shoes," Gardner said.
As this season approached, there was a question as to whether the newly emerged Gardner and returning Davis would be used together on the court by coach Henrickson, who typically did not play two post players on the court together.
SHARING THE COURT
Gardner played alongside Davis occasionally during non-conference games, but was mostly used to, give Davis some rest as she regained the stamina to play her normal minutes.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Roles have changed since then. Davis is back to regular minutes. Natalie Knight is out for the season, and junior forward Tania Jackson has left the team. Davis and Gardner have to spend most of their minutes on the court together.
On Saturday, as West Virginia coach Mike Carrey told his team to sag off of Gardner and put more pressure on Davis in the second half. Gardner went 4-for-5 from the field and 1-for-5 from the free throw line.
13
ENGELMA
Gardner ended the game with 11 points and three blocked shots, but collected just two rebounds.
Rebounding and running in transition, that's toughness. Gardner showed that toughness just a week earlier against Kansas State as she chased 5-foot-10 freshman guard Brianna Craig and held her to 5-for-20 from the field. She showed it last season in averaging 11 rebounds in the tournament.
"Chelsea is standing at the free throw line every time there's a shot up." Henrickson said on Saturday. "And I'm screaming at her to get in transition."
Senior forward Carolyn Davis and Senior guard Monica Engelman defend Baylor senior Brittney Griner during the second half of the match against Baylor at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 13, Kansas was defeated by the Lady Bears 82-60.
That was the first game at Bramlage Coliseum for Davis since leaving the same court on a stretcher. In the days leading up to the game, Davis preferred not to talk about her injury. She was nervous about going back to Bramlage, but this time, she left the coliseum victorious, with 29 points and nine rebounds. Gardner scored 19 points with five rebounds.
Kansas won the game in double overtime. Davis and Gardner combined for 15 of the 27 points that the Jayhawks scored in overtime play. Coach Henrickson called it one of the coolest things she has seen in her time at Kansas.
"I was just happy to get out of there," Davis said.
Davis and Gardner have already shown their toughness.
SIMILAR CHALLENGES
However, in the aftermath of another season-ending knee injury, Davis and Gardner will have to prove their toughness yet again, as will Knight. All of the Jayhawks do, but on the court it's clear that it
begins inside, in the paint.
Gardner said she and her teammates can draw from the lessons and experience of overcoming Davis' knee injury last season. She says the challenges are similar.
"Just keep your head up and stay focused," Gardner said. "Stay strong."
For Davis, as she stands here in her socks, nothing sounds better than being on the court for a run in this season's NCAA tournament, but in order for that to happen, she will once again be asked to prove her toughness, just as she
did in the long hours of lifting weights alone.
This time, Davis has the opportunity to do it on the court, and she has help. The Jayhawks will be playing for Knight, just as they played for Davis last season.

CHARITABLE FORCE
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
PAIGE Hunter, a senior from Lawrence likes to dress up as Star Wars character Boba Fett and make appearances for charities. Hunter makes her own costumes including characters from Final Fantasy, Batman and Sailor Moon.
Costumed crusaders raise money, awareness for children's charities
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
Six years ago, in a galaxy not so far away, a group of Star Wars enthusiasts began to put their passion to good use: charity work. Clad in replica outfits and homemade armor, members of the Mandaliorian Mercs Costume Club — named for a species of bounty hunters and mercenaries in the Star Wars canon — make public appearances and donate the proceeds to charity.
Paige Hunter, a senior from Lawrence majoring in film and media studies, first encountered the Mercs at an anime convention a few summers ago. Upon request, Merc members, approved 18+-year-old costumes, would hunt down an individual and put him in a PVC-pipe "jail" at a rate of $1 per minute. The money was then donated to a charity of the convention's choice.
Costume-making wasn't a new hobby for Hunter. Her closet is full of fond memories of characters like Yuffie from "Final Fantasy," Harley Quinn from "Batman: The Animated Series" and Sailor Moon.
"I like the idea of putting on another persona and walking around as a character," Hunter said. "I like walking around like Jack Sparrow with a bottle full of tea and claiming it's rum. People laugh at it. I like making people laugh, I like making people smile and I like entertaining. Seeing people get excited when they see a character they know and interacting with people who like
the same thing as you do — it's a really good way to meet people. I've met a lot of good friends through my costume."
Combining the fun of masquerading as her favorite characters with charity, however, was a new idea that has helped give her hobby purpose.
Brett Steinbrink, a junior from Emporia majoring in history and film and media studies, recently started putting together a Star Wars costume of his own, hoping to join Hunter in the Mercs. Organizations like the Mandalorian Mercs and the 501st Legion that both have fun
and do work with charities, Steinbrink said, brings costing out to public view in a positive way.
"It's bringing it to a wider audience," Steinbrink said. "I don't want
to say there's a negative stigma on nerd culture, because there's not always, but sometimes it's just a bunch of nerds that like to do stuff. Those organizations do a great job of changing it from that to people seeing that there's these people out here, and yeah they're dressing up, but they're doing things for charity and helping people while doing it."
"I like making people laugh, I like making people smile and I like entertaining."
bounty hunter costume will be the first costume he's built from scratch. In previous Halloweens, he's dressed as Tony Stark from "Iron Man" and Rorschach from "Watchmen." He expects to have spent a couple hundred dollars on his Merc costume by the time it's finished, but he's enjoyed putting so much of his discretionary income into the hobby.
"Seeing a look on a kid's face when they see their favorite character or see a bunch of Stormtroopers, that's priceless." Steinbrink said. "They get so happy and they get excited and they want to shake

Although a longtime fan of the Star Wars canon, Lord of the Rings and other classics, Steinbrink's
Hunter has joined fellow Mercs cosplayers from Kansas City and across Kansas at events at the Topeka Zoo and the Kansas City Zoo, as well as Star Wars-themed birthday parties and even an appearance on the KU campus for May 4, 2012. May 4, a play off of "May the force be with you," is an unofficial Star Wars holiday for Hunter and fellow Stormtroopers, bounty hunters, Jedi and assassins.

where there were a bunch of kids were taking a field trip to the Natural History Museum," Hunter said. "They had a surprise and got to see some Stormtroopers. That was really fun."
The Mandalorian Mercs tend to focus on helping children, working with the Make-A-Wish foundation and even helping a local sick girl pay medical bills. The clan's own Little Warrior International is developed by the Mercs to help underprivileged kids.
The Mandalorian Mercs and similar costuming clubs ask potential members to post pictures of their costumes and all accessories and require those costumes to be accurate to an era within the Star Wars canon. A committee then reviews and approves or makes suggestions as to how to improve the costume.
Even when she's out trooping on hot summer days and overheated inside her costume, Hunter feels that all the time and energy she has poured into her costume is worth it when she watches kids' faces light up as they see a character they've seen on television come to life.
"I think it's magical for the kids to experience that," Hunter said. "Don't be scared about what other people think about it. In the end, it's a hobby and it's all for fun. That should be the goal."

Topeka student contemplates a full ride future
EMMA LEGAULT
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
On a typical Tuesday at Topeka High School, Leobardo Espinoza Jr. received an envelope out of the blue.
The contents? An academic full ride scholarship to the University of Kansas.
At this point, a vast majority
of students would long to be in Espinoza's shoes. However, it's an odd predicament in which he now finds himself.
Espinoza
The title of his blog on the New York Times website, "Is a Full Ride Enough to Upgrade a 'Fallback' School?" reveals that KU is not number one on Espinoza's list of potential colleges.
Espinoza, a Topeka High School senior, is one of three people since 2009 to receive the David M. Wall Scholarship, a four-year renewable scholarship covering tuition, fees and books, given to a graduate of Topeka High School pursuing a degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Espinoza is one of eight high school seniors blogging about their personal college application and admission processes for the New York Times in a series called "The Choice." In his blog, Espinoza shares the details of the day that admissions representatives from KU personally presented the scholarship to him during his AVID class.
"My cheeks extended from side to side and I found myself dumbfounded," Espinoza wrote on Jan. 29. "This was truly the last thing I was expecting that day."
However, Espinoza doesn't quite have his heart set on KU. Although he said he loves the campus and is a Kansas basketball fan, Lawrence is familiar territory. Living about 20 minutes away in Topeka, he has had his fair share of visits.
"Part of the reason it isn't at the top of list is that I've always thought of college as being an entirely new environment," Espinoza said. "For the most part, I know Lawrence fairly well."
In addition to the David M. Wall Scholarship, Espinoza also qualified for the Crimson and Blue scholarship from the University's general scholarship funds.
If he chooses to attend the University, he must accept the scholarships by the admission deadline, May 1, as well as maintain a 3.4 GPA and take at least
30 credit hours per year.
Kristi Henderson, director of communications for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Espinoza's blog helped to draw attention to him in the pool of eligible students.
"[Espinoza] is a talented student and we certainly hope that the scholarship attracts him to come to KU, but he has a difficult decision in deciding which college he goes to." she said. "We hope he makes the decision that's best for him."
Will Dale, a junior from Topeka, is the current David M. Wall scholar. Like Espinoza, KU was not his top choice. That is, until he received the same envelope on his birthday in 2010.
"It's the kind of scholarship that changes your life," Dale said. "It's what brought me to KU and made me make sure I stayed with English."
Dale is currently studying abroad in Costa Rica. He said the scholarship has opened the doors to many opportunities without the worry of creating a financial burden for him and his family.
"It enabled me to do so many different things," he said. "I wouldn't have been able to do that without the scholarship . . . It's been a crazy experience."
Dale said he knows Espinoza from high school and has been in contact with him since receiving the scholarship.
"It's awesome to see how he's grown as a leader," Dale said. "I'm trying to sway him toward coming to KU."
With the amount of financial aid being offered by the University and the possibility of graduating debt-free, Espinoza said it has presented a new problem in his decision. He said many of his other choices also offer 100 percent financial aid.
Like many other high school seniors, Espinoza has high expectations for his college experience. Although he doesn't have a set career path, he hopes that he can find something that piques his interest, regardless of where he chooses to attend college.
"I think it's going to be a way to find myself . . . deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life," he said. "It's mostly about discovering myself and meeting new people, discovering the world."
As he awaits the decisions from the colleges to which he applied, the David M. Wall Scholarship stands as an incentive to attend KU.
"I'll really have to look at what the school has to offer me besides the financial aspect," Espinoza said. "I've considered it a lot more critically."

KU joins nationwide recycling competition
MEGAN LUCAS
mlucas@kansan.com
From Feb. 3 to March 30, students can participate at a recycling bin near them.
The University has another chance to defeat rival Kansas State, this time off the basketball court. Both universities' recycling programs are competing in RecycleMania.
The national competition aims to raise awareness about and help improve campus recycling programs. This is the University's fifth year competing.
There are two divisions in RecycleMania: Benchmark and Competition. According to the RecycleMania website, in order to participate in the Competition Division, schools must keep track of and report recycling statistics for their entire campus. Schools participating in the Benchmark Division are not ranked, but can informally compare themselves to other schools.
"Those universities that want to compare their programs in the initial stages of their programs choose Benchmark, as established programs typically choose to compete," Center for Sustainability staff member Manny Abarta said.
RecycleMania has eight cate ries that schools can compete in.
Game Day Challenge focuses on choosing one basketball game to collect the most recycling at. This will be the University's first time competing in this specific category, along with the Grand Champion Challenge and the
Waste Minimization Challenge.
TheGrand Champion Challenge combines trash and other recyclable materials to determine a recycling rate for the university as a percentage for overall generation of waste.
In the Waste Minimization Challenge, universities compete for the least amount of trash per person. The University is also competing in the Per Capita Challenge, with the goal of recycling the largest amount of paper, cardboard, cans and bottles per person; the Targeted Material category, where competitors see which university recycles the most paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum and food waste; and the Gorilla Prize category, which recognizes schools that recycle the largest gross amount of paper, cardboard, bottles and cans. Typically this category is won by a large university.
"We can beat Kansas State University in this category if we really tried to recycle at least half of what we throw away every day," Abarta said. "We are so close already to their rates that we just need people to recycle at minimum half of the trash they generate everyday (such as) that popbottle after class or that old test or syllabus you have been hanging onto for the last two semesters."
The University will not compete in the Film Collection or Electronics Recycling categories.
There are more than 14,000 recycling bins on campus, along with a trailer at the Park and Ride lot.
"Students must think about what they throw away every day." Abarta said. "It doesn't just disappear after you put it in the trash."

Performance raises awareness for LGBT
This weekend, LGBT voices hope to raise awareness and acceptance for the LGBT community. The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles will perform Saturday night at the Lied Center, presenting a message of love, unity and hope.
Yesterday, the chorus held a discussion between educators and students on campus covering bullying prevention and intervention. Precious Porras, the Assistant Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the discussion was open to anyone from the KU or Lawrence communities but specifically targeted toward future educators.
"LGBT students suffer at much higher rates of depression and much higher rates of committing suicide than heterosexual students," Porras said. "It's very important that educators are aware of the specific things that are happening when children are being bullied because of their LGBT status."
The discussion and this weekend's performance are opportunities for people to ask how best to support students and be allies for the community while learning more about LGBT issues.
"Only through self-awareness and becoming educated can you become a better ally for the community." Porras said.
Adult tickets to the It Gets Better performance at the Lied Center are
Porras recommends that students hoping to become more involved in LGBT issues, and the community, should visit the LGBT Resource Center, a part of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, as a source of information. Students can also join Queers and Allies, KU's student organization.
$17; student and youth tickets are $7
The performance starts at 7:30 p.m.

Manhunt ends with suspect, one officer dead
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. — The extraordinary manhunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of three murders converged Tuesday on a mountain cabin where authorities believe he barricaded himself inside, engaged in a shootout that killed a deputy and then never
Domer
emerged as the home went up in flames.
A single gunshot was heard from within, and a charred body was found inside.
If the man inside proves to be Christopher Dorner, as authorities suspect, the search for the most wanted man in America over the last week would have ended the way he had expected — death, with
the police pursuing him.
Thousands of officers had been on the hunt for the former Navy reservist since police said he launched a campaign to exact revenge against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing. They say he threatened to bring "warfare" to officers and their families, spreading fear and setting off a search for him across the Southwest and Mexico.
"Enough is enough. It's time for you to turn yourself in. It's time to stop the bloodshed," LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said at a news conference held outside police headquarters in Los Angeles, a starkly different atmosphere than last week when officials briefed the news media under tight security with Dorner on the loose.
A short time after Smith spoke Tuesday, smoke began to rise from the cabin in the snow-covered woods near Big Bear Lake, a resort town about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. Flames then engulfed the
building — images that were broadcast on live television around the world. TV helicopters showed the fire burning freely with no apparent effort to extinguish it.
"We have reason to believe that it is him," said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman, adding that she didn't know how the fire started. She noted there was gunfire between the person in the cabin and officers around the home before the blaze began.
Until Tuesday, authorities didn't know whether Dorner was still near Big Bear Lake, where they found his burned-out pickup last week.
Around 12:20 p.m. Tuesday, deputies got a report of a stolen pickup truck, authorities said. The location was directly across the street from where law enforcement set up their command post on Thursday and not far from where Dorner's pickup was abandoned. The owner of the vehicle taken Tuesday described
the suspect as looking similar to Dorner.
After holing up in the cabin, there was a second gunbattle with San Bernardino County deputies, two of whom were shot. One died and the other was expected to live after undergoing surgery.
A warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife traveling down Highway 38 recognized a man who fit Dorner's description traveling in the opposite direction. The officer pursued the vehicle and there was a shooting at 12:42 p.m. in which the wildlife vehicle was hit numerous times and the suspect escaped on foot after crashing his truck.
"We're heartbroken," Big Bear Lake Mayor Mayor Obernolte said of the deputy's death and the wounding of his colleague. "Words can't express how grateful we are for the sacrifice those men have made in defense of the community and our thoughts and prayers are with them
and their families."
The man believed to be Dorner never came out of the cabin, and a single shot was heard inside before the cabin was engulfed in flames, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
The official later told the AP that a charred body was found in the burned cabin. The official requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
A SWAT team earlier had surrounded the cabin and using an armored vehicle, broke out the cabin windows, the official said. The officers then pumped gas into the cabin and blasted a message over a loudspeaker: "Surrender or come out."
The armored vehicle then tore down each of the cabin's four walls, like peeling back the layers of an onion, the official said.

Obama discusses economy, guns, education
REID EGGLESTON
reggleston@kansan.com
President Barack Obama issued his annual State of the Union address last night before the backdrop of a cautiously growing national economy, squabbles over gun rights and a hostile Washington environment ushered in by historically unprecedented brinkmanship. As predicted, a third of his speech dwelled on the current state and potential of the economy, but the message interwoven throughout was the give-and-take nature of the rights of American citizens.
Obama urged increasing the responsibilities universities have in keeping college costs down. He mentioned instigating the College
Report Card, in which colleges are rated nationally based on affordability and job placement success.
Overall, the message on education centered on funding preschools, especially those in urban areas. Focusing on the role skills and training will play in revitalizing the domestic economy, Obama said that the earlier education begins, the better.
- More directly, Obama highlighted how increasing wages will better the economy. He proposed that the national minimum wage be raised from $7.25 per hour to $9 per hour.
- Obama proposed that Congress
adopt at least universal background checks for gun ownership. He also cited that police have difficulty countering high-ammunition magazines and that criminals have too easy access to guns after leaving jail, posting these two areas as concerns that must be addressed in future gun legislation.
- While Obama reiterated his timeline for 34,000 more service members to depart Afghanistan after this year and to turn all operations over to Afghan forces by the end of next year, he also mentioned a shift in defense policy toward counterterrorism, specifically cyberterrorism, saying Congress must grant the government greater power to thwart these evolving attacks.
- Overall, Obama asserted that
none of the initiatives he proposed should increase the government debt by a dime. This, in addition with his bold stance against the looming sequester that would require sharp governmental cuts to areas like education and medical care, outlined his planned shift to moderate budget cuts and to increase the role revenue takes in relieving the national debt.
- Obama emphasized the fact that if economic reforms that do not increase the debt go unmet in Congress, he will act unilaterally to ensure that reforms are passed.

It amazes me how many people still don't know which doors are unlocked during camping.
You can always tell a freshmen by how they rip their paper before basketball games...
This has to be the most amazing student section ever.
FFA editor, I know this is late but will you be my Valentine? Editor's note: Of course!

So glad the ghost of Phog Allen was with us during the game by making K-State players trip.
Why the hell doesn't my phone automatically capitalize "Self"?
Ben McLemore just gets more attractive with every shot he makes!
I do it best.
Let's be honest, you're not a true basketball fan until you've accidentally eaten or drank a piece of newspaper.
Get some toast ready cuz here's the jam.
I'm almost as happy about the woo going away as I am about crushing K-State.
This is our state.
Believe in your Self!
Policeman/traffic controller after the game said, "are you Jayhawk fans? You can cross whenever you want."

I have senioritis so bad that I couldn't even finish rereading the senioritis column.
Every exam should start with the KU basketball video. We would never fail.

I seemed to have lost my voice in the Phog. If anyone finds it, could you let me know? Thanks.

KUBoobs sparks feminism debate
Let's be real—you've heard about KUBoobs. I've heard about KUBoobs. The Huffington Post has heard about KUBoobs. And the feminist community has certainly heard about KUBoobs.
If you're in denial, I'll play along and inform you that KUBoobs is a social media craze that began here at the University last spring during March Madness. It started with a twitter account that sought to have female fans show support to the men's basketball team by tweeting pictures of their breasts all done up in their gameday swag. It has more than 3,000 tweets and more than 35,000 followers; as in more followers than the University has undergraduate students, by 15,000. You could say it's pretty popular. And you could say it's pretty anti-feminist.
Only I think it's a little more complicated than that.
That's how a feminist lens of looking at the world works sometimes. It's not always clear cut if you get the feminist seal of approval or not, if you've earned the complimentary vulva-shaped
fruit basket and Maya Angelou mug. And surprisingly, by which I mean not surprising at all, feminists disagree with each other frequently about what's "best" for feminism, a reality that is very clear in the discussion about KUBoobs and what it means in a feminist context.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
There are two sides that have dominated KUBoobs in terms of how it relates to feminism: one claiming it is a feminist expression, and one claiming it's incredibly anti-feminist. The pro side claims that these women are choosing to tweet pictures of their bodies and send them in order to take control of their bodies in a typically male-dominated arena, a fandom version of choice feminism. The anti side says that this is merely sexism, that it is rape culture cloaking itself as female empowerment, and that, as Feministing.com put it in a recent article on the topic, "doing what feels good to me isn't always good for women at large."
I have to say, neither of these sits well with me.
Female sexuality is constantly policed as is. Women are told that
they either need to cover up or bare more; to be prettier or to be more professional; to be a virgin or to be a vixen.
I'm don't support the idea that a woman is "anti-feminist" if she decides she wants to dress in a way that showcases her body however she's most comfortable, or if she chooses to share her body with the world. Whether that means being covered from head to toe or wearing a miniskirt and cleavage-bearing shirt is an individual's choice to make, and should be a choice that individual feels safe making.
However, all too often, feminists assume young women who are proud of their bodies must be blinded by patriarchy, that a woman could never possibly want to revel in the fact that she has a really great rack, that a woman
would dare want to take her sexuality into her own hands and wield it blatantly.
I'm also not behind the idea that a Twitter account, being run by males who identify as men, that directly objectifies women's bodies as a way of tribute to a male sports team can be said to have feminism first and foremost in their minds. And as one commentator on the KUBoobs Facebook page put so eloquently, and surprisingly accurately.
"The female body has motivated men to strive for success since the dawn of time."
Ah, yes, to strive for success — that success defined as who can dominate, and that domination defined as what kind of or how many women you can "win." Where women's body are a prize to be viewed in the afterglow of a Jayhawk win.
I don't think these individuals who choose to participate in KUBoobs are anti-feminist in their personal decisions. It's unfortunate that women aren't allowed to express pride in their sexuality without having to trouble whether it's "feminist" because
of a society informing us that the main purpose of a woman is to be sexually consumed, and frequently conditions individuals to take that as undeniable fact.
Probably not.
And if you think female sexuality isn't presented and treated differently in the media than male sexuality, let me ask this: why isn't there a male equivalent to KUBoobs? Can you imagine KUAbs? KUBiceps? KUBallsack? For a male sporting event, would there be such extreme popularity of a twitter full of men tweeting pictures of their bodies, hashtagging them in order to cheer on our boys in blue and red?
The discussion can't be laid out in a moral black and white, and my point isn't to have you try to fit yourself into this binary of feminism. But I do want you to realize that the issue is complicated, challenging, and is worth discussing.

113th Congress plagued with procrastination, partisanship
Top procrastinators of the day: Congress, Obama, and me. While our projects are of varying importance, putting things off has moved from killing grades to wrecking budgets.
113th Congress, I can relate. You're all basically in an insanely difficult college course. There are plenty of tough meetings to and long nights spent reading boring bills ahead of you. But take it from me: procrastination begins to lose its charm when you're an elected official in the most powerful political body in the world.
By Wil Kenney
wkenney@kansan.com
Already you guys are falling back into the soupy mixture of stubbornness, stupidity and fanatical partisanship that drove your predecessors into the ground. Where's the passion? Where's the love of democracy? What do you need to get going? I've got a fruit roll-up, if that helps.
Obama, don't go anywhere; you aren't excused. You've managed to miss your fourth budget
A method I've found effective is to hang a wood-chopping ax over my desk with a timer attached. If I don't finish my homework by midnight, I'll be beheaded. I know you already tried this out last summer with the whole "devastating trillion dollar cuts across the board" thing that will kick in at the end of the month. A trillion is so unimpressive anymore. Have you ever heard of a quadrillion?
deadline this past week. I know keeping the illegal drone strikes hush-hush is time consuming, but give the budget a few minutes a day and if it finish itself. I've got my own secrets to keep, but I won't let the skeletons in my closet keep me from finishing my French vocab.
As your State of the Union approaches, try to ease off the mudslinging and focus on the details. Spending all day scolding Republicans sure is entertaining (especially if Speaker of the House John Boehner cries) but not nearly as productive as it should be. That Grand Ole Party is a defensive bunch with a persecution complex, so drop the name calling for some number crunching.
We've gotten your big picture of America on a live feed for the past four years; we don't need an anecdote about an ailing sick immigrant building a successful small business to get us on board. What we need are labels and numbers on these budget plans you've been tutoring for so long.
But don't micromanage too hard. Democrats can't seem to
agree with anyone, especially one another. They're so stuck gripping about timeframes and what constitutes a "loop hole" exactly that they haven't had time to get out of their grimy offices. Once they do they just waste time on the congressional floor itself, but that least feels like progress.
To relieve the palpable tension on Capitol Hill, you guys could have a two-on-two basketball game: you and Sen. Harry Reid versus Sen. Mitch McConnell and Boehner. Follow that with a tag-tteam Karaoke battle D1J by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Winners get a massage from Sen. John McCain. He knows tension like no other.
Get hot tubs on the Senate floor. Host an ice cream social. Go laser tagging and cosmic-bowling. Do anything you guys want, really. Just get moving unless you want to be less popular than communism and Hugo Chavez like your friends in the 112th were.
The chemistry in these past few Congresses has been off-the-charts bad and some major party changes may be needed before anything gets done. That could mean there won't be a productive Congress until Obama leaves office or an entirely new set of bitter seniors gets voted in. For now though, try the axing.

Intramurals offer fun competitions
The everyday grind of going to class, writing papers and taking tests can become an exasperating trend for some students. Sure, going out and experiencing the Lawrence nightlife is a must in terms of soaking up every ounce of this great city's identity. But think about how much more physically active you could be throughout the week to counteract all the drinks and late-night junk food consumed on what feels like a daily basis. This is where intramural sports come into play.
Intramurals have a longstanding tradition at the University, with sports ranging from basketball to bowling. Enjoy playing doubles tennis with a friend from the dorm? Doubles tennis intramurals are available. Ping-pong, too. Intramural sports have shifted to a nearly all-sports encompassing weekly recess for thousands of University students
This being my senior year, I've nearly played out my eligibility as an intramural "student-athlete." During my time in Lawrence, I've seen intramural sports culture and the way students approach these leagues change. It's getting competitive. Not the unhealthy, "I want to break you" kind of over-the-top competitiveness, rather a general wanting to get better at any particular sport while fighting for the ultimate intramural prize: a T-shirt.
T-shirt aside, one sport in particular - basketball - offers another prize for making it to the league tournament championship game. a trip to play in legendary Allen Fieldhouse. Yes, the very same floor that the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning competed on. Granted there are about 16,000 less people in the gymnasium during intramural championships, youd still get the chance to play basketball in a competitive format inside of the greatest cathedral of college sports.
Indoor soccer games can be some of the most physical intramural contests. The space to play is so small and enclosed that one rough tackle can send the game into a no-holds-barred
Most of these referees are kids that KU intramurals train within league play. So some of the referees you might see in an indoor volleyball match might be in their first ever week of volleyball refereeing. And you know what, from the few years I've played, including indoor volleyball with inexperienced referees, they do a damn good job. They take a lot of crap from every different direction, but—for the most part—they are able to dig in and make the right calls, so kudos to them.
slugfest. OK, maybe not that bad, but trust me, I've seen it get pretty chippy out there. Which leads right into how efficient and composed most of the referees are in some of these physical and competitive contests.
From freshman to senior year, there's going to be a lot of time to study, to party and to sleep. While I enthusiastically condone all three, I can't overemphasize how crucial intramural sports have been to my college experience. I've got fond memories of winning the basketball championship in Allen Fieldhouse with my younger brother hitting the game-clinching free throws at the end. Next week my brother and I will compete in doubles bowling intramurals, which a year ago I would have laughed at had you asked me if I'd compete in that event.
With each intramural sport I play, the more open-minded I am to participating in another. Or who knows, maybe I know my time's running out and I just want to get it all in before I am no longer eligible.

Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) fights with his identity thief Diana (Melissa McCarthy).
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Poor screenplay leaves 'Identity Thief'a snoozer
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
Plus-sized comedienne Melissa McCarthy earns a fair amount of laughs in "Identity Thief". The movie itself, however, leaves viewers feeling like suckers, robbed of their time and money.
The screenplay by Jerry Eaten and Craig Mazin lies most at fault; suspension of disbelief can only be pushed so far in a film. When the main plot device and many of the subsequent events in a story aren't even remotely believable, the movie is only going to work if it's ridiculous to the point of absurd hilarity.
Unfortunately, that's not the case here, especially when the humor that does work is overtaken by boring jokes and overstuffed sentimentality.
The concept starts with potential. Businessman Sandy Bigelow-Patterson (Jason Bateman) gets his name and credit card info stolen by expert identity thief and obnoxious troublemaker Diana (McCarthy). To save his credibility at his job and bypass the lengthy police procedural process, he tracks her down and resolves to bring her to the authorities himself, which proves far more
difficult than imagined.
This results in a road trip from Florida back to his home in Denver that hits all sorts of comedy clichés on the way. Those include car chases, car crashes, angry criminals with guns, a wacky sex scene, the feuding leads becoming friends and sappy moments between them.
There's an over-reliance on the formula that calls attention to how unrealistic everything feels. McCarthy and Bateman's comedic talent can only overcome this problem for so long before the charm wears off and "Identity Thief" just becomes shallow, unfunny and drawn out.
Director Seth Gordon delivered one of the better recent comedies with his last film, "Horrible Bosses." This time around, however, he doesn't have a relatable premise, strong script or an ensemble cast at the top of its game to work with. In particular, where "Bosses" felt sort of edgy, Gordon plays it much safer with this movie and frustrates with the soft and simple execution.
While there's not enough done right here to warrant a viewing, at least it's not all bad. Bateman brings his signature everyman, passive-aggressive nice-guy charisma to the proceedings, which is always pleasant to watch.
As expected, McCarthy's outrageous persona is the highlight, especially as she chews the scenery to trashy pop songs. Even as her character gains an emotional depth, it should be groan-worthy from a narrative standpoint, but she performs empathetically.
She and Bateman have a fun chemistry together, although their clashing attitudes don't reach the entertainment heights of typical road movies. A physical fight between them early on, which ends with Bateman breaking an acoustic guitar on McCarthy, is hysterical, however.
The one good thing about "Identity Thief" is that even though it didn't deserve to gross almost $35 million over the weekend, such success bodes very well for McCarthy. Having a talented, overweight actress lead a blockbuster is progress for Hollywood, instead of the always-skinny starlets. Let's just hope she gets better material next time.

Sophomore Wes Benjamin returns from a 5-7 freshman campaign in which he maintained a 3.54 ERA with 54 strikeouts.
"He was obviously very mature for a freshman last season," Graves said. "The biggest thing in his development is creating better spin on his breaking balls. The spin has
been the last thing to come it's more about getting him confident in using those breaking balls."
Thomas Taylor is reaching his potential after a long rehabilitation program following Tommy John surgery undertaken in his senior year of high school. The senior brings velocity, as well as a 4.76 ERA and 68 strikeouts to the Jayhawk rotation.
"The thing I'm most pleased with Thomas in his development is he's become a two pitch, three pitch guy." Price said. "His breaking ball is significantly better. His velocity has peaked now. To see him consistently throwing the fastball and commanding it over 90 m.p.h. is exciting."
Tanner Poppe will make the move from the bullpen to the starting lineup to round out the rotation while Robert Kahana assumes closing duties.

his offensive game, but became just as proud of his defense when he left for the NBA after his junior season.
In fact, Rush seemed hesitant to show too much of his offensive firepower, not wanting to offend his teammates. Rush took 19 shots against Texas Tech during his freshman season, which were the most field goal attempts he took in a single game that year.
"I wish Brandon and Ben were both different on that front," Self said. "I wish they were a little thirstier in certain situations than what they are."
He also took 18 shots at Kansas State and attempted either 14 or 15 field goals in a game six other times. He scored at least 20 points six times his freshman year but never broke the 30-point plateau.
The most field goal attempts McLemore has taken in a game this year are 18 shots against Chattanooga. He's had six other games where he took at least 14 shots. He's scored at least 20 points five times and at least 30 points two other times.
Just like Self got on Rush for not shooting often enough, Self said he wants to see McLemore look for his shot more, instead of disappearing from a game lacking offensive flow and finishing with fewer than 10 shots. McLemore has attempted fewer than 10 shots in 10 games this season.
However, Self recognizes that McLemore isn't the type of player that is looking to shoot 15 times or score 20 points every game.
"I'd like for him to average 25 a game, but that's not who he is and so we can't expect that," Self said. "But he's doing great. He's the all-time leading freshman scorer at this stage in the history of the school."
McLemore, who said he is quiet and unselfish by nature, said he doesn't look to force the game offensively. Instead he wants to let the offense come through getting defensive stops, something Rush eventually excelled at.
"I'm not that type of guy, that mean guy, that 'Hey, give me this, I want this," McLemore said. "I don't want to try to force a lot of things offensive."
But when Reid watches her son, the fifth of six children, she isn't worried about how he compares against Rush or Pierce, or even Manning. McLemore reminds her of another former Wellston High School star, one that even had the nickname "Danny Manning."
"I would say his Uncle Daniel," Reid said of who McLemore reminds her of. "I guess the certain way that he shoots the ball, that certain way he move, he kind of reminds me of my brother."

THE MORNING BREW Playing on the road presents challenges
MICHAEL PORTMAN
mportman@kansan.com
This past weekend, I traveled to Norman, Oklahoma to watch our Kansas basketball team eventually lose to the Oklahoma Sooners. I agree, I was not happy with the outcome but, while sitting in their student section, I was able to look around and see what it's like being on the road, facing all of these fans. It was a totally different experience. Other than being scolded and screamed at by the Oklahoma fans, I got a glimpse of how different their traditions are.
The University of Oklahoma
isn't known for its basketball; they are more about football. They don't have the history or traditions that we do. Their introduction video is their current basketball team dancing around and a couple of highlights from the season. They don't have James Naismith, Phog Allen, or Bill Self types of people in their history. When introducing their players, they dim the lights and bring out the flame above the basket when each name is said. During our free throws they hold up Acme Brick signs, not distracting hand or body movements. When they shot free throws, the Kansas fans tried

to be distracting, but were put to silence when each free throw was made. As the game went on, the louder and rowier the Oklahoma fans got. Before the game could end. I left. I couldn't bear to watch the storming of the court. As I was leaving, so were hundreds of other
Jayhawk fans, barely able to make it out of there alive.
The Oklahoma Sooners have been to four Final Fours, never having won any championships. The last time they were in the championship game was back in 1988, where they got runner-up to only the best team in the land, the Kansas Jayhawks. Speaking of 1988, the last time we lost three in a row to unranked opponents was this certain year. The third game we lost in a row that year was to the Oklahoma Sooners. Is it a coincidence? We don't know right now.
KU
Playing on the road is not easy. It never will be. After seeing through my own eyes what it's like to be away from Allen Fieldhouse, I can understand, in a sense, why we are in a slump. We don't need to worry. We are Kansas. We don't go down without a fight. No matter the situation, you always stick to your team. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, GO KU.

Florida knocks off Kentucky in Gainesville
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Scottie Wilbekin had 14 points and eight assists, Pat Young recorded his sixth double-double of the season and No. 7 Florida handled No. 25 Kentucky 69-52 on Tuesday night. The Gators (20-3, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) snapped a five-game losing streak in the series, and coach Billy Donovan improved to 2-7 against Kentucky's John Calipari.
This one solidified Florida's spot stop the league standings.
The Wildcats (17-7, 8-3) lost for
the first time in six games, and it may have been costly.
Nerlens Noel, the nation's leading shot-blocker, injured his left knee in the second half and did not return.
Noel, a freshman who averages 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.5 blocks a game for the defending national champions, landed awkwardly on his leg with about 8 minutes to play. He screamed in pain as trainers rushed to his side. Teammates carried him to the locker room for tests.
Florida had a comfortable lead before the injury.
The Gators opened a double-digit lead, 31-19, in the first half on consecutive 3-pointers by Wilbekin, Mike Rosario and Kenny Boynton.
Young and fellow big man Erik Murphy, who was in early foul trouble, carried the load in the second half.
Young made a basket with a nifty, up-and-under move, had a reverse layup and added a sweet, left-handed hook. He finished with
12 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
The Gators knew he had to have a big game considering they played a second game without forward Will Yeguete and were undersized against the Wildcats.
But the difference was guard play.
Wilbekin sliced through the lane at will, creating open shots for teammates and getting Kentucky's players out of position. Noel, Archie Goodwin and Willie Cauley-Stein spent time on the bench in foul
trouble.
Rosario finished with 12 points for Florida, which has won every conference game by double digits. Murphy chipped in 10 points, and Casey Prather added 12 points and two blocks and took several charges, proving again to be a capable replacement for Yeguete.
Gauley-Stein and Julius Mays led Kentucky with 10 points apiece.
The Wildcats shot 42 percent from the field and had 17 turnovers.
Callipari warned reporters Monday that beating Florida would be a difficult task, especially since the Gators have played so well at home (12-0 now) and have a much more experienced roster.
The most significant disparities came in the paint and off turnovers. The Gators scored 36 points in the paint and 20 points off turnovers; the Wildcats had 26 points down low and just five off Floridas 11 turnovers.

Johnson, Tharpe accept guard roles
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
However you choose to classify it, there's an issue with the Jayhawks point guard situation.
In the last four games, backup sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe has shot 37 percent, averaging 8.25 points and four assists with no more than two turnovers per contest. In that same span starter Elijah Johnson is shooting 22.6 percent, averaging 7.75 points and one turnover per assist.
Kansas coach Bill Self has repeatedly said that he will ride his senior starter, regardless of his recently poor stat line. It's a decision that's been magnified with the emergence of Tharpe, but it's also a similar
circumstance to one Self has dealt with in the past.
"Whatver's comfortable out there, I'm all right with it. Whatever we've got to do to win, I'm down for it."
And Self's choice led to success.
And Sein's choice led to success. During the Jayhawks march to the NCAA championship in 2008, senior Russell Robinson and junior Mario Chalmers were starters, but Sherron Collins had the ability to create offense more easily than Robinson.
Still, Self wouldn't bench his senior and in turn Collins played most of his minutes off the bench.
There's no questioning that Tharpe is better at creating offense than Johnson. Even Self has admitted this, but like Collins in 2008. Tharpe needs to work with less playing time.
Against Kansas State, Tharpe proved he could do just that.
"Naadir played great," Self said. "That's the best half of basketball he's played since he's been here. He's one of our key performers."
Johnson has graded himself this season on his ability to get the ball to Ben McLemore. Using that criteria, you'd have to think Tharpe set a
The sophomore assisted on nine of McLemore's first half points and played with more control than he has in recent games, evidenced by his single turnover against the Wildcats.
new curve on Monday night.
"Coach has been getting on us about being fast a lot." Tharpe said. "We were just out there playing together and the game was flowing."
Yet Self has been judging Johnson on wins and losses. Given that Johnson has 20 wins and only four losses, it's not a surprise that he
keeps going to his veteran.
ELIJAH JOHNSON senior guard
That leaves Johnson in an interesting spot. It's widely known that he's not a natural point guard — after the loss to Oklahoma State Self said this team has no no.
guard — but his decision-making is invaluable.
Moving over to shooting guard, or two-guard, when Tharpe enters is Johnson's best option to stay productive.
Of course that doesn't bother
johnson at all.
"A lot of people make it seem as if I'm out of the game," Johnson said after defeating Kansas State. "I can go to the two. Whatever's comfortable out there I'm all right with it. Whatever we've got to do to win, I'm down for it."
In the end, Johnson's willingness to compromise may be the key to Kansas' offense. As often goes with point guards, sometimes it's about the plays you choose not to make.
"I love my teammates," Johnson said. "They're coming to me and telling me it's all right, it's cool we're still with you whether the fans turn or not. We know on the court stuff is not happening when you're not in the game."

Coach Price moves Eldredge to catcher
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
In his first two years with the Kansas baseball team, junior Ka'iana Eidredge impressed his coaches and teammates on the field with his defense. Kansas coach Ritch Price likes what he's seen from Eldredge and decided to switch him to a new position.
Eldredge will be the team's top catcher after he started 43 games at second base last season.
BASEBALI
"I think the first thing that is going to jump out at you when you see him play is he not your standard big-body catcher," Price said. "He's a little more in the [Craig] Biggio body type, who obviously had a fabulous career with the Astros."
Eldredge fills the spot previously owned by James Stanfield, who played his final season with the Jayhawks last year.
and he's got really good hands." Price said. "I've been fortunate enough to one catcher in my career that played in the big leagues and three others that have made it to triple-A and he throws better than anybody I have ever coached."
"The transition has been more complex because I'm a full time catcher now and there's a lot more things to catching than I thought there were," Eldredge said. "During my senior year, I thought it was just about catching 85 mph fastballs. But when you come to the collegiate level, especially in the Big 12, it's a lot different."
Although he's making the shift from second base to behind home plate, Eldredge has experience as a catcher that
Price said that he needs to see development in his receiving skills and knows that he's going to throw the ball a lot because of his tremendous release. As Eldredge continues to receive more reps as a catcher, Price praised him for his throwing ability and has high expectations out of him this season.
Eldredge will make his debut as catcher this Friday when Kansas visits Nevada for the season opener in Mesa, Ariz. He will receive pitches from junior pitcher Frank Duncan, who looks forward to working with Eldredge and has high hopes for him in his new role.
"I've never seen anybody throw the ball the way he does behind the plate," Duncan said. "He's improved so much on his receiving skills that I don't have any worries about that anymore. He's a great guy to throw to and he's definitely going to throw a lot of guys out this year."
During offseason practices, Eldredge worked on making the adjustment and learning new skills to be successful this season as the team's catcher.

CAROLYN DAVIS, POSITION
A. H.
Gardner
Davis was great in the first half against West Virginia on Saturday, scoring 14 points, but she was scoreless in the second half, in which she took just two shots. Davis needs to be more aggressive shooting the ball, or other players need to make shots and force the defense to give her more space. The Jayhawks need to find a way to get Davis more shots when she's on a roll.
★★★★☆
PATRICIA HARANDEZ
This season, Gardner is averaging nearly six rebounds per game, but she had only two against West Virginia. Kansas will need Gardner to be a solid source for rebounds to be successful. At 6 feet 3 inches, Gardner has proven before that she is capable of being a dominant rebounder. She also needs to take more shots when the defense is sagging off of her to guard Carolyn Davis.
Engelman
CHELSEA GARDNER, POSITION
★★★☆☆
Harper
MONICA ENGELMAN, POSITION
CAROL MURRAY
★★★☆☆
Kansas still needs rebounds. Engelman provided a solid portion of those rebounds for most of the season, but recently she has not been doing much of anything on the boards. She had zero rebounds in the game against West Virginia. As Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the team after the game, "Who are you going to beat playing like that?"
CECE HARPER. POSITION
Harper provided seven points, three assists and two rebounds against West Virginia. She shot 1-for-4 from three-point in 37 minutes. Harper still might be getting used to her role as starter, but the Jayhawks need her to be a good perimeter defender, which she seems capable of being. She has played great defense against some of the league's best guards, such as Brittany Chambers of Kansas State. Harper may not be a double-digit scorer every game, but she should be able to provide solid defense most of the time she is on the court.
Goodrich
★★★☆☆
ANGEL GOODRICH, POSITION
Goodrich has gone 0-for-11 from the 3-point line since hitting the 3-point shot at Bramlayne Coliseum to force a second overtime against Kansas State, allowing the Jayhawks to win by nine. Overall, Goodrich has been in a shooting slump for more than a few games now, but in the close games she has made the biggest slump. Probably more important than the shooting slump, Goodrich has not been piling up the assists that she usually does.

Boyd went 1-for-11 from three-point against West Virginia. Most of those shots came late in the game, as Kansas trailed by double digits, but if some of those drop, the game might look different. Maybe thoughts of the come-from-behind win over Iowa State would come to the players' minds and inspire a comeback. With the lack of depth on the Kansas roster, Boyd will play an important role.

COMMENTARY
Enjoy greatness while you can
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Talk about a happy birthday. On Ben McLemore's 20th, he scored 30 points. On his 20th, the Jayhawks busted a three-game losing streak. They did so by beating Kansas State by 21 points — on his 20th.
And most of all, it was one of those games to enjoy watching the Jayhawks' sensational freshman, Ben McLemore — something truly worth doing for his remaining five games in Allen Fieldhouse.
Yes, it was one of those special days at Allen Fieldhouse where everything seemingly comes together perfectly. It was one of those days where the seats were filled like a perfectly poured beverage well before tipoff, and when everyone erupts after every made basket. It was one where a more-talented Kansas team played up to its talent.
The next time McLemore glides down James Naismith Court after a turnover, and 16,300 people stand in anticipation of something epic, something breathtaking, take a mental snapshot. The memories of being a student — or a fan — when Ben McLemore played for the University of Kansas will be a point of pride for any Jayhawk for a long time.
And it shouldn't just be for the 20-year-old's graceful play on the court, even though that has a lot to do with it.
There was a worthy scene a few weeks back at a women's basketball game that McLemore attended (he's been to many of the women's basketball games this season).
As McLemore was leaving by himself after the game, he was quickly surrounded by Kansas fans, mostly children, that were in awe of the latest crimson and blue sensation.
It's a rare sight to see a 20-year-old kid act so gracious for the love that surrounded him. His twitter handle is @Humb1e_Hungry23, and it's a perfect title for the kind of person that McLemore seems to be.
Did McLemore look upset by this? No, not at all. He looked the opposite, actually. McLemore signed every autograph for anyone who asked. He stood and smiled for every picture, and he took the time to talk to the children who dream of wearing the same uniform one day.
Even on the grander scale, after Kansas men's games, McLemore sticking around in the autograph line has become a legendary tale among both media members and fans that have seen it happen.
And then he'll be gone, onto bigger and better things.
He won't get to speak on senior night, and nor should he, but he will be rightfully recognized and applauded in the pre-game video montage.
It's time to cherish this young man if you haven't done so already. It's time to marvel at his unique athleticism and silky smooth jump shot. And it's time to notice the effect he's had on the community, and the effect we've had on him.
After all, time with Ben is running out.

It's been a frequent occurrence for the Kansas Jayhawks this season, but for Sonya Reid, it could never happen enough.
Maybe it's a breakaway dunk. The kind where every soul in Allen Fieldhouse cranes their neck just an inch more, aware that in just a matter of seconds they might see high-flying artistry few college players can craft.
Or it's a rhythmic barrage of 3-pointers, a rapid firing of shots everyone will drop swiftly through the net while the shot is still in the air, interspersed with NBA-caliber jump shots in the lane.
However the fireworks come,
Reid knows what she will see
next from those fireworks' origin,
redshirt freshman guard Ben
BmcLmore, her son.
"When he do one of his little fancy dunks he comes out with this little smile," Reid said. "Pretty much that smile is his trademark."
McLemore provided 40 minutes of fireworks Monday night against Kansas State, draining six of 10 3-pointers and scoring 30 points. He didn't convert any Fieldhouse foundation-shaking dunks, but only because Kansas State refused to let him take off, fouling him before he came close enough for a fastbreak dunk.
But McLemore's had plenty of reasons to flash his smile this season. Enough reasons, in fact, that he's been compared to his role model, former Kansas star Paul Pierce.
McLemore started watching Pierce when he was a junior at Wellston High School near St. Louis. He went to Pierce's summer camp that year and then met Pierce in person when he came to Lawrence to play in the 2011 Legends of the Phog game.
"His footwork is just crazy," McLemore said. "I like to watch his footwork a lot because the way he moves it seems like he's slow, but his footwork makes it seem like he's moving fast."
McLemore said he was too young to remember Pierce during his time as a ljayhawk, but he sees Pierce's dunk rile up the crowd on the pregame video before every game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Like McLemore, Pierce could turn a basketball contest into a solo virtuoso performance. Perhaps his most memorable performance in a Kansas uniform was his 31-point performance against Oklahoma in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, when he scored 15 straight points during a second-half stretch.
"He can score it at will," McLemore said. "I've seen the intro, just showing him as one of the great players that ever played here at Kansas."
With seven games left in the regular season, McLemore is on pace to break Danny Manning's freshman scoring record of 14.6 points per game. McLemore is averaging 16.8 points per game, while Pierce averaged 11.9 points per game as a freshman. But since Manning graduated in 1988, Pierce holds the school's single-season scoring average record of 20.4 points per game, which he set in 1997-1998.

The significance of Pierce's college accomplishments isn't lost on McLemore.
Besides the freshman scoring record, McLemore already has one accomplishment Pierce couldn't get. It's an accomplishment no other Jayhawk has — scoring at least 30 points in conference play twice as a freshman.
"When you go to the University of Kansas, you know you've got a lot to live up to," McLemore said. "Watching my teammates play last year and just seeing what they do and seeing how much they put into the game because Kansas basketball has so much tradition and history."
But Pierce isn't the only Jayhawk McLemore draws comparisons to. Brandon Rush came to Kansas as a freshman in 2005 after withdrawing from the NBA Draft. He used the word "highlights" to describe

Experienced lineup returns to field
TREVOR GRAFF
At Tuesday's media day, Price said his team is taking advantage of the experience gained by playing one of the youngest lineups in the Big 12 last season. This season, the Jayhawks return seven starting position players and nine pitchers, on a roster that includes 23 underclassmen.
Kansas Coach Ritch Price is optimistic when discussing the off-season development of another young Kansas Baseball roster.
tgraff@kansan.com
"Pitching is certainly the strength of our club on paper," Price said. "In my ten years I've been at Kansas, we've never returned all three weekend starters. On paper these are four of the most impressive guys we've had. At the same time, those guys have to get better too."
Junior pitcher Frank Duncan
Duncan earned the opening game start, after going 6-8 with a 3.23 era and 100 strikeouts in 2013. Duncan isn't a power pitcher. He prefers to make his living on the mound by mixing pitches and outsmarting opposing bats.

"It's fun to have these guys in the Friday and Saturday spots," pitching coach Ryan Graves said. "In my opinion, these guys give us the best chance of getting us deep into the game and not use up our bullpen on Friday and Saturday."

Steam whistle remains a staple on campus
GRANT ZIZZO
gzizzo@kansan.com
Commonly identified by its steam whistle, the KU Power Plant is a frequently misunderstood component on campus. While the name implies the generation of electricity, the plant has not done so since the early 1900s. Rather, its purpose is the generation of high-pressure steam. Most notably, the steam is used to heat many buildings on campus; however, steam serves various other roles as well. The Watson stacks and archives require regulated humidity and the autoclaves in the laboratories use steam to sterilize equipment.
The facility and its smaller sister on the west side of campus run year round and are maintained around the clock by its crew. In an interview, Chief Boiler Operator, Brian Bailey, explained how the plant works.
The boilers heat water to 400 degrees at which point it becomes high-pressure steam. A series of pipes then convert the steam to 90 psi (pounds per square inch), distributing it to buildings around campus. The steam reaches the buildings through an extensive eight-mile system of underground corridors through which the pipes run. Upon arrival at a building, the steam is distributed to radiators
which are commonly found under the windows. As the steam heats the air it loses energy and becomes water. Following, the water returns through the underground pipes to the power plant where it is again heated to steam.
The system is 80-85 percent efficient. Water is only lost to the library's humidifiers and the autoclaves. In this manner, the campus is afforded an environmentally conscious heat source.
Steam boilers tower over most college campuses and offer an expandable option that will endure for years to come.

STUDENT SENATE
Student Senate passes finance bills
Student Senate Finance Committee passed 11 bills during their meeting last night.
Some of the bills passed include a bill to fund the Queens and Allies Gaypril, a bill to fund Students for Justice in the Middle East, a bill to fund the Big Event and a bill to fund the Enactus.
Queens and Allies celebrates Gaypril as their annual pride celebration. They were funded $1,000 to host a variety of programs and educational events about issues of sexual and gender identity throughout the month of April.
Students for Justice in the Middle East is a group that aims to educate the community about social justice issues in the Middle East. SJME will be hosting an event in March to raise awareness about issues happening in Syria. Omar Chakaki, a Syrian-American musician, will be headlining the event. They were funded $3,000.
The Big Event is an annual event that promotes relationships between the University and the Lawrence community. The Big Event is at its third year at the University and has shown to be the fastest growing Big Event in the country. They were funded $7,900 for supplies.
promotes leadership and aims to train its leaders to make a global impact through sustainability. Enactus will be combining with the KU Fashion Club to host Dresses for a Difference. This is a community service event that turns pillowcases into dresses which will then be donated to an orphanage in Kenya. They were funded $600 for supplies.

Twirler wins national championship for KU
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
Shannon Livengood, a sophomore from Clay Center, will step on to Memorial Stadium's field this fall to perform as the 2013 national collegiate champion in baton twirl-
"I am currently the only twirler at KU. I twirl at every football game and pregame with the Marching Jayhawks," Livengood said. "I've also twirled

at women's soccer games, women's basketball games, and at halftime for a men's basketball game in January."
On Feb. 3, Livengood won the U.S. Intercollegiate and National High School Baton Twirling Championship held in Liberty, Mo. Out of five events, Livengood took first place in Collegiate Freestyle and 2-Baton, second place in Collegiate Solo, and third place in Collegiate Fight Song and 3-Baton. Her score totals in the five events added up to give her an overall first place finish.
"It's a great achievement." Livengood said. "I competed last year and got third. Winning overall as a sophomore is amazing, and representing KU is a great feeling."
Livengood has been twirling since she was 4 years old and has
been with her coach Koralea Slagle since she was 5 or 6 years old.
"She is always messing with the baton," Slagle said of Livengood. "This was a great win for her because usually she does much better with a large crowd. This was special because she did really well in all of her events."
Livengood represented the University in competition, with some of her championship points coming from her performance in the Collegiate Fight Song category, during which she twirls to the University's fight song.
Livengood, the NCABT (National Coalition for the Advancement of Baton Twirling), and twirlers around the country are trying to get baton twirling recognized as a collegiate sport.
Although Livengood is a member of the Marching Jayhawks, she competed with no financial support from the University.
"She was representing KU, but was not financially supported by KU." Slagle said.
Dr. Matthew Smith, Director of the Marching Jayhawks, believes that Livengood's national championship gives the Marching Jayhawks the recognition it deserves and will attract more performers in the years to come.
"Her national championship helps to ensure that future twirlers recognize that KU is a great place to feature their talents, and gives us a sense of pride in her accomplishments," Smith said.
Smith also said that Livengood is a vital part of every Marching Jayhawks performance.
"Shannon serves an important role in the visual component of the band," Smith said. "Along with our color guard, she helps to present the pageantry and tradition of a large university marching band. A twirler must connect with the
crowd, from the first row of seats to the last, and I believe that Shannon has a unique gift for that."
Livengood's parents, Jeff and Betty Livengood, were not able to watch their daughter perform but were ecstatic to hear the good news.
"Every time she performs, my heart melts. I cried when I heard she won; I was so excited for her,"
Livengood plans to continue twirling for the University for the next two years and hopes to eventually start her own teaching program and studio for future twirlers.
Betty Livengood said "She really loves KU and she's really enjoyed representing the University."

Fake zombie messages on various alert systems cause unease for police
DETROIT — Warnings about the zombie apocalypse may seem pretty amusing, but officials say they're dead serious about figuring out who hacked into the nation's public warning system to broadcast such messages in a handful of states.
So far, people in California, Michigan.
Montana and New Mexico have heard the warnings about attacking zombies that have been sent over the Emergency Alert System.
"Local authorities in your area have reported the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living," the message warned. "Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies as they are considered extremely dangerous."
The subject matter may be humorous.
but Greg MacDonald with the Montana Broadcasters Association said the consequences of such attacks on the alert system could be severe.
"This looks like somebody being a prankster, but maybe it's somebody testing just to see if they could do this, to do some real damage," MacDonald said. "Suddenly you create a panic and people are fleeing somewhere and you end up with traffic jams and accidents and who knows what."
The U.S. recently replaced its old telephone-based alert system with a web-based one. The Federal Communications Commission sent an urgent advisory Tuesday urging stations to reset their alert system passwords, disconnect their Internet connections and take other steps to make sure the equipment is protected from outside attack.
In Michigan, hackers broke into the system with audio or text messages at two stations on Monday. Michigan Association of Broadcasters President Karole White said the breach appeared to be related to default passwords that the stations hadn't changed. The U.S. recently replaced its old telephone-based alert system with a web-based one.
The FCC on Tuesday asked stations to check their equipment to make sure no further unauthorized alerts were queued up for future transmission, according to a copy of the advisory provided by the Montana Broadcasters Association.
No one has been arrested in connection with the hacking incidents.
Other attempts to access to emergency systems in recent days were thwarted by updated passwords, said Edward Czarnecki with Kentucky-based Monroe Electronics, which manufacturers the alert equipment used by most television and cable companies.

Rec Center awards cash for weightloss achievements
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Losing weight can be a challenge, especially among college students. But, would you do it for money?
The Scale Down Challenge, hosted at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, is a 10-week weight-loss program with a competitive edge to it. The challenge is open to students, faculty and staff. Each participant pays a $25 registration fee, which is then added to a prize money pool. The program kicked off yesterday with the first weigh-in.
Jill Urkoski, associate director of program management at the rec. said the Scale Down Challenge looks for individuals who maybe
change their lifestyle yet. She said the goal is to make a change and to have healthy behaviors.
There are two separate tournaments: one for students and one for faculty
and staff. Each tournament has its own prize money pool. After 10 weeks of weigh-ins, the four people from each tournament who lose the most weight will be rewarded with money from the prize pool.
The program is essentially a weekly weigh-in. The workouts and meal plans are for the individuals to decide, but the rec does offer additional personal training and fitness classes.
are equally as crucial. Ken Sarber, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, named a few unhealthy eating habits among college students;
- skipping breakfast
While exercise is important for weight loss, healthy eating habits
- late night snacking
- not drinking enough water
- consuming energy drinks
"This [unhealthy eating] happens more when students go to college."
Sarber said that the largest of these problems is skipping breakfast.
"This happens more when students go to college because they get the option to sleep in if they want to," Sarber said.
Sarber really pushes students towards maintaining balance overall. He said that rather than eating three large meals a day, students should eat five to six small meals

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little answers questions in her office. This week, she discussed the new concealed carry legislation and circulum changes she has made.
Gray-Little discusses campus issues
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed several University topics on Tuesday, including the concealed carry resolution, the new KU Core curriculum and the addition of parts of campus to the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
CONCEALED CARRY
If the bill is passed, she said that the University would need to evaluate safety measures, such as screening for weapons.
Legislation that would allow for concealed carry on campus is expected to surface during this session of the Kansas legislature.
On Feb.6, Student Senate passed a resolution opposing concealed carry on campus. In addition to Student Senate, faculty and University police, the leaders of each Kansas Board of Regents Schools are in opposition to the concealed carry.
Gray-Little said the University's stance is the same as it was last year.
"To be able to do that would be a very expensive proposition for a setting like this," Gray-Little said. "So we'd have to think about what we would have to do to respond to it in a way that would keep this environment as safe as possible and still be responsive to that law."
KU CORE
She said that the current set of curriculum requirements before students enter their major courses or professional school are complicated.
Completing the revision of the undergraduate requirements is a focal point for this semester for Gray-Little.
"The goal is to simplify the set of requirements so students can more easily navigate the requirements, to make it possible for
students to have more flexibility about the selection of courses and majors." Gray-Little said.
With the implementation of the Core, freshmen entering next fall will be required to take 12 general education classes in addition to major-specific classes. They will have more than 800 classes to choose from to complete the required 36 credit hours.
"Ultimately, it is to have a better educational experience, make it straightforward with regard to the navigation, and facilitate students graduating on time," Gray-Little said.
Finishing the project will be a major accomplishment for the KU Core Curriculum Committee and Gray-Little.
"One of the things that I really am looking forward to is to say, 'yes, this is done,' for next semester," she said. "This is a huge amount of work for all the people involved."
HISTORICAL SITE DESIGNATION
The area along Jayhawk Boulevard was added to the Register of Historic Kansas Places on Feb. 9. Twenty buildings, as well as other landmarks and landscapes, will be recognized as a historical district.
Gray-Little said this honor carries some specific responsibilities for the University, and that the preservation of their condition will place some restrictions on the kinds of changes able to be made.
["The designation] says this is an area that has some aesthetic or cultural integrity and we want to make sure that that is retained," she said. "So we want it to stay, to have that same sense of unity and integrity that it has before, and we want to make sure that we're very careful about changes that we make to it or make to the appearance."

House cleaning helps clear the mind
LIVING SPACE
The weather is lukewarm, the birds are chirping and the sun is shining through a sensational pock-marked blue sky. After a brief 10-minute walk down Emery, I step into my apartment with the deep reverberated drums of "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin booming in my ears. As the front door slowly opens, I'm met by the old familiar sight of my lifestyle. Suddenly, the urge to clean hits me.
Navigating past the man sleeping on the couch, the scattered ashes on the coffee table, and the various empty containers of beer on the floor, I throw my backpack—sorry, my man purse—on the ground and make my way into the kitchen. The dining
table sits barely visible under the scattered papers, the mucked triangle of red cups and assortment of dishes caked with past nights' meals.
They're everywhere except the cabinets to which they belong. They fill the sink leaving the faucet inaccessible. They are stacked meticulously but still cover the entire surface of the bar. They are piled next to the food-stained stove where, naturally, each burner is occupied by a dirty pot or pan.
My room? Complete nonsense My desk with broken legs leans dumpily on my bookshelf. There are so many clothes on the floor that there's little evidence to suggest I even have a floor. Oh, and of course the lamp shade is

crooked.
I trip over a guitar on the ground and step onto the porch where I find our house man-nequin Steven Percibold Roberts the Fourteenth passed out on the porch couch with an empty beer can next to him and his shoes still on. Lovely day. eh Stewen?
It takes me six hours with upbeat music blasting on the stereo. The dishes take the longest
obviously because my apartment complex seems to think a dishwasher is a little too luxurious for my type.
The place has finally resumed its form. A nice smell permeates the apartment as a fresh cool breeze drifts in through the window. All tables wiped down and surfaces cleared.
The simple inability to walk from one room to another because there's a chair in the way or trash on the floor is enough to have an effect on you; but when you let the place completely disintegrate, you can bet that you're next on the list.
I feel like when my house is clean I am able to function as a human-being, but when it's destroyed I become a chaotic raving lunatic. I can't think straight.
I can't be productive. Hell, I can't even sit comfortably. But, when I clean up, my entire spirit seems to come alive again. School becomes more manageable. I can sit quietly and read. Or cook some food.
I guess what I'm saying is, if your place is dirty and you're feeling anxious, take the time to clean it up. It'll make you feel good, probably lift your spirit. Or just leave it dirty. Who knows, maybe you always keep your place clean and, at this point, I actually do look like a raving lunatic. I don't care. At least, my apartment's clean—this week.

PERFECT TRIANGLE
Pizza ignorance: educate yourself on the right slice
If you're reading this, you probably in college. And if you're in college, you probably have a pretty steady diet of pie.
Pizza pie.
Everyone loves pizza—from college students to fake assistant basketball coaches. But there are some people who don't understand that not all slices are cut the same perfect triangle. And because of that, I see many of my college brethren suffer.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
They suffer from pizza ignorance.
It's no secret that Lawrence is a small unique dot in the vast sea of red that is Kansas. So you've probably already heard about the great local businesses that this city has to offer. Pizza joints are no exception. Massachusetts Street is littered with local pizza eateries, and it seems that there is a different parlor every step you take.
position a "crime reporter." I find this ironic, because Cummings has a history of crimes against humanity.
Side note: this will be the only time I acknowledge corporate pizza chains. They are not worth my time, and if you think they are better than one of the many lovely local pizza parlors in town, stop reading here.
Because there are so many local joints, many students are overwhelmed and don't realize that they suffer from pizza ignorance. This means they often just eat the closest slice of pie and don't even stop to think they may be making a terrible decision.
For instance, Ian Cummings,
two-term Kansan Editor-in-
Chief and 1999 Kansas High
School Basketball Association
Slam-Dunk Contest Runner-up,
loves pizza. Today, Cummings
is the Public Safety reporter for
the Lawrence Journal-World.
In some circles, people call his
"I like the pizza I like, and everyone else is wrong. Rudy's is the best pizza in town, and many other pizza places are inferior."
IAN CUMMINGS former Kansan Editor-in-Chief
Those crimes he committed?
Choosing the wrong pizza.
"I apologize for nothing." Cummings said in an exclusive phone interview conducted as I wrote this column. "I like the pizza I like and everyone else is wrong. Rudy's is the best pizza in town, and many other pizza places are inferior. Your column is similarly inferior if it doesn't conform to my preferences."
During his Editor-in-Chief tenure, Cummings and I constantly battled in the Kansan newsroom over what is "good" pizza. But I wasn't the President of the Kansan Tuesday Night Pizza Club for nothing. Cummings often didn't even show up.
I'm willing to say that every local pizza place in Lawrence is
"good" pizza, but what I really want is "world-class-perfectly-triangular-out-of this world" pizza. And only a few places can provide that.
I must also note that I do take location into account, but only a little bit. Availability is also a factor, but, again, only a small one. I do believe that traveling to a pizza parlor, and what time you can secure a perfect slice are important in college culture. I don't want to fault those pizza places that aren't near Massachusetts Street, but sometimes when you're staggering out of the bar and need a slice, Massachusetts Street pizza parlors have a much better chance to blow your alcohol-induced mind.
So only a few local joints still fit the criteria. Because I have spent several years in Lawrence and had plenty of late night pizza cravings, I know that Pyramid Pizza is the only joint that can provide the world-class pizza I want—nay, need.
I do enjoy all the other local pizza eateries, but when Cummings comes to me with a slice from Rudy's, Minsky's, or even a ridiculously disproportional Papa Keno's slice, I know he just doesn't understand pizza. He is pizza ignorant.
So my dear friends, colleagues, classmates and, most importantly, pizzamates: I must educate you on pizza. Go out there, find a local joint, and enjoy at least a "good" slice.
And for the love of pizza, stay away from Pizza Hut, Dominoes and Papa Johns.

Celebrate yourself on Valentine's Day
Want to hear something you're not supposed to admit? Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. And not because I've had a boyfriend my whole life or have guys fighting to be my valentine. I love it because it's a time to show how much you love the people around you, whether it be parents, siblings, friends or significant other.
If you're a serious V-Day hater you should probably stop reading now. I am seldom successful in converting the most intense Valentine skeptics, but if you're at least neutral on the subject, humor me.
Maybe you think Valentine's Day is a holiday thought up by Hallmark and Russell Stover in order to sell more cards and chocolate to loveick couples. Or you may be an attendee at one of the many anti-Valentine's Day parties held on the 14th of February. Unfortunately, Valentine's Day will always have a stigma surrounding it as a "made up" or forcibly romantic holiday.
But for me, Valentine's Day has never been solely about a romantic relationship. Last year I spent the big day at a production of "Mamma Mia!" at the Lied Center with one of my best friends. In high school, I made personalized Valentines to put in each of my friends' lockers. If anything, Valentine's Day is a chance to unabashedly show those around you how much you care (and you don't have to buy expensive gifts to do it).
In addition, I find another component of Valentine's Day is often overlooked. Many people feel pressure to treat their significant others on Feb. 14, but what about treating ourselves?
By Lindsey Mayfield lmayfield@kansan.com
In general, I am a person who believes in (and at least tries to execute) a moderate amount of self-discipline. I don't believe any major problem can be solved by skipping class, going on a shopping spree or drinking to excess, even if they feel justified at the time.
But I am a wholehearted believer in rewarding yourself on select occasions, and Valentine's Day is one of those times. Even if you don't have a boyfriend, what's so wrong about picking up a bouquet of flowers at Dillon's or a package of your favorite candy? And if you don't have a girl to take out, why not have a semi-respectable dinner with your buddies instead?
Whether you choose to celebrate Valentine's Day or not, avoid seeing it as a negative day in which you have to (A) sufficiently impress your significant other, or (B) feel miserable because of your lack thereof. There's no sense in putting a negative connation on a day that (by cynics' accounts) is just like any other.
We all have to take time for ourselves in some way. I'm not ashamed to be my own valentine, why are you?

Valentine's Day films that hurt and heal
In the opening scene of Michel Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," Joel (Jim Carrey), the film's lovelorn protagonist, offers a decidedly unromantic appraisal of Valentine's Day: "Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap."
Your own feelings towards V-Day probably stem from the current state of your love life. For the smitten, Feb. 14 is a time for celebrating the physical and spiritual bonds forged through fidelity, mutual adoration, and the self-confidence that comes from seeing someone else naked on a regular basis. For the narcissistic and woofly single, it's an excuse to celebrate our own cleverness at having successfully avoided commitment for another year.
Although individual tastes may vary, the two groups can usually agree on one thing: the comfort and solace offered by an old-fashioned movie night. In that spirit, I've created the two lists below, each geared towards either the agony or ecstasy of onscreen romance. There's something here for everyone, from mind-erasing drugs to kinky ballerinas. So read, watch and enjoy.
LOVE HURTS
Some movies tug at your heartstrings. Others tear them out by the roots and play them like Ryan Gosling strumming on an old ukulele. Derek Cianfrance's beautifully acted, unbearable bleak "Blue Valentine" might be the best argument for celibacy since the invention of syphilis. The film charts the downward spiral of Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams), two well-meaning kids whose marriage becomes a sinkhole neither fully wants to escape.
1. "Blue Valentine" (2010)
2. "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966)
Mike Nichols's notorious adaptation of Edward Albee's play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" centers on George (Richard Burton) and Martha (Elizabeth Taylor), a hateful old professor and his spoiled, tyrannical wife. Both spouses survive on alcohol and thrive on drawing others into their vitriolic, venom-laced parlor games. Their newest victims are Nick (George Segal) and Honey (Sandy Dennis), the young couple who unwisely accepts their invitation for late night cocktails. The film reportedly put a strain on Burton and Taylor's already fraught real-life marriage and may have contributed to their first divorce.
Long before he shot her down and left her for dead in her wedding dress, Bill (David Carradine) and the Bride (Uma Thurman) were very much in love. Their time together, told through flashbacks, lends an air of humanity and bittersweet emotional resonance to the second and arguably best installment of Quentin Tarantino's revenge saga, a note-
By Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
3. "Kill Bill Vol. 2" (2004)
perfect homage to samurai films, spaghetti westerns and Shaw Brothers kung-fu flicks. The scene where the Bride confronts Bill just before her fateful trip down the aisle remains one of my personal favorites. And dig that classic QT dialogue. "I've never been nice my whole life. But I'll do my best... to be sweet."
4. "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935)
Love can be a real monster sometimes. In director James Whale's superior sequel to his 1931 classic "Frankenstein," the Monster (Boris Karloff) joins forces with the diabolical Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger) to convince the newly chastened Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) to build him the perfect mate. The film, an ingenious blend of camp and genuine horror, builds to a shockingly poignant conclusion. After being rejected by his reanimated love, Karloff intones the immortal line, "We belong dead."
5. "Audition" (1999)
If you're looking to get rid of your clingy significant other, Takashi Milke's "Audition" is the perfect date movie. This is an exceptionally nasty psychological horror film about a widower trying to meet a new wife under the pretense of an acting audition. He quickly becomes obsessed with Asami (Eihi Shiina), a demure exballerina with a rather extreme sexual fetish. Don't say I didn't warn you.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL
"Up" (2000)
of glances and gestures. With the exception of the incinerator scene in "Toy Story 3," no other Pixar film has moved me more.
Pete Docter's film begins with one of the saddest sequences imaginable: a eight-minute montage that shows Carl (Ed Asner) and Ellie (Elie Doctor) growing old together until Ellie begins to slip away, leaving their dream of one day traveling to Paradise Falls tragically unfulfilled. A lifetime's worth of love and affection is conveyed through the subtlest
1. "Up" (2009)
2. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004)
In order to forget the lovely, capricious Clementine (Kate Winslet), Joel (Jim Carrey) turns to a memory-erasing service called Lacuna, only to regret his decision when the procedure robs him of the good times as well as the bad. Charlie Kaufman's script is a wistful exploration of serendipity and the persistent power of memory.
The whole world seems to be against ex-con/Elvis enthusiast Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and his trail-trash princess Lula (Laura Dern) in David Lynch's loopy Southern Gothic road movie. Lula's mama (Dern's actual mother Diane Ladd) has hired bounty hunters to track down Sailor. Worse yet, a coven of bayou witches may be after his blood. And let's not forget the vile, needle-toothed Bobby Peru, the scariest Willem Dafoe character ever. A love story for anyone who's wild at heart and wear on top.
3. "Wild At Heart" (1990)
Some "classic" films are nothing but dusty old relics, historical curiosities valued only for their technical assets. Not "Casablanca." Here's a film that has earned its status as one of the most beloved of all time. The emotional tumult between saloon owner Rick (Humphrey Bogart) and his lost love Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) easily transcends its World War II trappings. A masterpiece by any standard.
5. "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010)
Edgar Wright's arcade fantasia is more than just digital eye candy; it's a sugar-buzz romance for the Ritalin generation, one of the few movies to accurately portray the heady rush of falling in love for the first time. Scott (Michael Cera), Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and their quest to defeat Ramona's seven evil exes are the stuff of everyone's adolescent daydreams.

excess HOLLYWOOD review
'Amour' will break your heart
]
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
CENTRIBUTED PHOTO
Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) must care for his ailing wife Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) in Michael Haneke's "Amour," which won the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
"A
"Amour" is a celebration of life waltzing lockstep with the encroachment of death, the kind of movie meant to break your heart and enrich your soul simultaneously. Michael Haneke's newest film, winner of the 2012 Palme d'Or, is a merciless, unflinching glimpse into the void, a romance that ends with the grim assertion that even a lifelong love must end as a kind of horror story.
Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) are retired music teachers, cultured and independent, determined to live out their remaining years in the bohemian comfort of their Parisian apartment. We first find them seated in the cavernous depths of a concert hall, listening to one of Anne's former students give a piano concerto to a sold-out crowd. That night they return home to find scratch marks on their door, signs of an apparent forced entry. The next morning, during breakfast, the intruder announces itself when Anne suffers a mild stroke while in mid-conversation with Georges. Her vacant, almost serene expression while her husband frantically tries to revive her will haunt me for a very long time.
In a matter of weeks, Anne is paralyzed on the right side of her body and her mind, once sharp and full of vigor, begins to deteriorate at a frightening rate. Georges, determined to honor his wife's

wish not to be hospitalized, elects to act as her primary caregiver, despite the concerns of the couple's grown daughter (Isabelle Huppert). The rest of the movie chronicles the final miserable months of Anne's infirmity, the indignities of which are depicted in harsh, graphic detail.
The demands "Amour" makes on its audience would be almost too much to bear if it weren't for the extraordinary commitment of Trintignant and Riva, both staples of the French New Wave who were lured back from semi-retirement by Haneke, who apparently had the two in mind while he was writing the script.
Riva, the radiant ex-starlet whose early career peaked with 1959's "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," gives one of the most natural, heart-rending performances I've ever seen as Anne, nailing every facet of this proud, vibrant woman's gradual decent into oblivion. In an ideal world, the Best Actress Oscar would be hers. Trintignant, who achieved international acclaim with 1966's "A Man and a Woman," matches his co-star
blow for blow as the loyal, belea- guered Georges, tormented by the thought that his wife now considers herself a burden.
Haneke, the foreboding Austrian auteur best known for his interminable long takes and chilly morality tales like "Funny Games" and "The White Ribbon," seems an unlikely candidate for crafting a compassionate meditation on the ravages of old age until you consider how easily a story like "Amour" could have dissolved into a manipulative, ham-fisted exploitation piece. The director, to his infinite credit, is not capable of such sentiment, preferring instead to focus on two recurrent themes from his previous films: the decline of reason and the limits of devotion.
Watching "Amour" can be a difficult, emotionally draining experience, especially because nearly all of us have experienced, or will experience, something similar to what Georges and Anne are going through. Yet despite its universally tragic subject matter, or more than likely because of it, "Amour" represents Haneke's most humane, accessible work to date, a film that deserves to be seen and celebrated as one of the past year's few genuine masterpieces.

Karina Smirnoff's red pepium dress at the 2013 Santa Barbara International Film Festival is perfect inspiration for Valentine's Day date night attire.
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
Valentine's Day is known as the mother-of-all-time-most-hated holiday, and I really don't know why it gets so much heat. Unless you're a recluse with absolutely zero love in your life whatsoever, I give the of' holiday a chance. And when I say love, I don't mean only the boyfriend or girlfriend type of love. This is a day meant for celebrating every type of love in your life, whether it's for your family, friends, pets or shoes—celebrate it.
There are endless ways to celebrate today, whether you'll be out on a date, with a group of friends, or alone on the couch with Ben & Jerry, there's a celebration for everyone.
If you're going out with a special someone, I recommend splurging for a new dress that'll make you feel nothing but outrageously confident. Opt for feminine styles, such as peplums and dresses in the new "midi" length. Rather than going for a mini dress, this length that's all over 2013 runways hits right below or above the knee. Do something special with your hair. Wear heels. Whatever it is, make sure you feel great about yourself. That way if the date goes awry, you'll still be full of self love.
If you're planning on going out with a group of friends, lipstick is the perfect start. A deep red or hot pink looks perfect with an all white, cream or black look. Avoid matching lipstick with accessories, it can get really tacky, really fast. Remember pregnant Natalie Portman at the 2011 Golden Globes? The actress wore a pink gown with red shoes, red lipstick and a red bag, all to match the red rose on the front of her dress. It was way too put together and matchy-matchy, and ended up looking more appropriate for a toddler's beauty pageant formal look rather than for a prestigious award show.

Couples on television last through the ages
BRETT PHILLIPPE
bphillippe@kansan.com
Today is Valentine's Day, which means it's the perfect time to determine the best "power couples" on television today and how they have lasted as long as they have.
1. Jim and Pam from "The Office": Jim and Pam are a couple that has maintained their relationship while working together in the same office for the past nine seasons. What makes this couple so powerful is how they have been able to keep their marriage afloat while working around the ever-annoying Michael Scott, all the while battling the ever-difficult task of working in the same place as their spouse.
since their freshman orientation of college. Now in their 30s, that is very impressive. It is amazing that they have lasted while dealing with the constant moping of their best friend, Ted, and the constant shenanigins of the great player, Barney Stinson. They have survived everything together from a broken off engagement to a baby. Their love can best be described in terms of their arguments about the movie "Tommy Boy." "The only argument we have ever had about Tommy Boy is whether it's awesome or super awesome. That's love, bitch."
2. Marshal and Lily Erickson from "How I Met Your Mother": This couple has been together
3. Marge and Homer Simpson from "The Simpsons": This couple gets the nod mostly for Marge putting up with Homer, the epitome of what foreigners think of when they think "typical Americans." They have been
together the longest of the power couples on the list, topping out at 23 long years. With such a long marriage and the ever lasting ridiculousness that comes with living in a town like Springfield, you have to hand it to these two love birds for figuring out how to make it last.
So, whether you are alone on this Valentines Day or with that special someone, look to the relationships of Jim and Pam, Marshall and Lily, and Homer and Marge. With all of the craziness of their lives, they have stuck it out and爱 each other to the ends of the earth. And that's all we really want in life, someone to love and fight through life with.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Director Lasse Hallstrom, left, chats with Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough on the set of "Safe Haven."
No surprises in 'Safe Haven'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
When it comes to trying to make you cry, there are no safe havens in "Safe Haven."
The latest film based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, the author who's elicited more tears than an onion factory, includes plot points of spousal abuse, cancer, cute kids, children in peril, a hunk with a heavy heart, loss of a parent, letters from the grave and a lot more.
None of this story is very original. But if you have even the tiniest sliver of romance in you, see no other movie than this one on Valentine's Day. And be sure to bring some extra tissues.
"Dancing With the Stars" alumna Julianne Hough plays Katie, a woman on the run who ends up in
a sleepy, on the verge of comatose, little North Carolina community (a favorite locale for a Sparks tale of tears). No sooner is she off the bus than she meets the town's eligible widower, Alex (Josh Duhamel), who's trying do his best to raise his kids since his wife died a few years ago.
Sparks fly. But the relationship unfolds slowly because Katie has a dark past and Alex is cautious about bringing another woman into his family. His young son (Noah Lomax) dislikes the idea of any new woman who threatens the memory of his mom, while young daughter (Mimi Kirkland) is desperate for some maternal attention.
Since the story elements aren't that new, the major key to making a Sparks movie work is how much
you want the central couple to fall in love. The characters played by Duhamel and Hough have so much pain, it would be a sin for them not to find some happiness together.
Lasse Hallstrom's film is a beautiful blend of Hallmark Card moments, from meeting to sharing a disastrous date in the rain to eventually giving into their obvious attraction for each other. These are such schmalzy moments they block the dark side of the tale.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Sparks story without some hurdles to overcome. The film's biggest weakness is the police officer (David Lyons) on an unrelenting mission to track down Katie. There's devotion to duty and there's dark obsession. Lyons' performance goes way beyond both, to the point of caricature. He's
a modern-day melodramatic villain without the handlebar mustache.
There are points that can't be discussed without giving too much away. All that can be said safely is Cobie Smulders gets the most out of her role to make this romance a full tearjerker.
Sparks has never been subtle when it comes to being an emotional manipulator, and there are moments of "Safe Haven" that seem like the biggest manipulations of his career. Cynics, and those who believe love is nothing more than the name of a Beatles-themed Las Vegas show, should not wander into a theater showing "Safe Haven." This kind of emotional barrage can weaken even the hardest of hearts.
HOLIDAY
Celebrating V-Day around the world
CARA WINKLE
cwinkley@kansan.com
The lights are dimmed in the trendy five-star restaurant; glowing candles sit on tables draped with the restaurant's special occasion red table cloths. A couple is sitting in the corner ordering overpriced meals, while in the guy's head he is silently calculating how many shifts he is going to have to work to pay it all off at the end of the night. After the waiter leaves, the guy pulls out a card and a red rose accompanied by a small black box. The girl feigns surprise as they had previously agreed they weren't going to exchange gifts this year. This is what a typical Valentine's Day looks like according to American romantic comedies. However, countries around the world have their own ways of celebrating the Day of Love.
CHINA
In China on the national Day of Love, girls are the ones to give the gifts. Girls will nake or buy chocolates the night before to give to their loved ones. If they are single they will bring the chocolates to school and celebrate the day with classmates. Couples will usually go out to celebrate, according to Law Sin Tung, a sophomore student from Hong Kong. The guys aren't completely off the hook as the men in a relationship will normally buy their girlfriends flowers as well.
SCOTLAND
Scotland celebrates Valentine's Day a lot like we do, except way more low key. Gift-giving used to be big, but has gotten less and less popular. Ross Whyte, a junior student from Scotland, went to an Italian restaurant and a concert for Valentine's Day last year. He and his girlfriend didn't exchange gifts, but they each paid for a part of the night in its place. Typical traditions include exchanging cards and gifts and going out to a nice restaurant for
dinner. Family members don't usually exchange cards or gifts, but friends may exchange little cards just for fun, according to Megan Lackie, a junior international student from Scotland.
GERMANY
Sometimes countries don't go all out in celebrating a holiday like we do in the United States. In Germany, Valentine's Day is more of a commercial holiday. They don't really celebrate it. Nicole Westphal, a Lawrence middle school student teacher from Germany said that last year for Valentine's Day her boyfriend gave her a rose and some chocolates. There are not many people in Germany who go out to special dinners or exchange greeting cards. Not even elementary schools have Valentine's Day parties where kids exchange candy and cards.
BRAZIL
In Brazil, they don't celebrate Valentine's Day on Feb 14. However, they celebrate a similar holiday called Dia dos Namorados "The Day of Lovers," on June 12. According to Forbes magazine, this day is dedicated to celebrating Saint Anthony, the patron saint of matchmaking and marriage. During the celebration, single women perform rituals such as writing the names of crushes on pieces of paper the night before, folding them up and then opening one on the big day to determine who they should marry. Couples will also exchange small presents such as chocolate and flowers.

GAMEDAY
Experience game day without the Fieldhouse
CHRIS SCHADER
editor@kansan.com
Camping for Kansas basketball games is time-consuming and strenuous for students who choose to participate in this tradition. Students who want to attend the biggest games of the season, like Saturday's College Gameday matchup against Texas, must riot only camp for about a week, but they also have to pay for and pick up tickets. Luckily, there are numerous options for students who can't afford or don't have the time to purchase tickets or attend basketball games. Here are the top places where students should go to watch Saturday's game (if they can't make it to the Fieldhouse, of course).
LIBERTY HALL,
644 MASSACHUSETTS ST.
Known by most as a prominent music venue and movie theater, Liberty Hall promotes the fact that they "have the biggest screen in Lawrence to watch KU basketball games. People claim to have the biggest screen to watch games on, but we actually do," said manager Dean Edington. With a different viewing experience than sports bars, Liberty Hall provides patrons with stadium seating, a state of the art concert hall sound system and a full bar for those of legal drinking
age. The doors to the venue open one hour before tipoff, and entry is free.
23RD STREET BREWERY,
3512 CLINTON PARKWAY
JOHNNY'S TAVERN,
401 N. SECOND ST.
23rd Street Brewery is a restaurant filled with Jayhawk pride with dishes like the Charlie Weis, Ritch Price and the Bill Self, but that's not the only reason to go there. The restaurant is one of the most popular places to watch Kansas basketball games because of the atmosphere. Managing partner Matt Llewellyn says that the restaurant is almost always filled with people during Kansas basketball season. "Home games are the best for us because we pack the house before the game and then those people file out. We get to three-quarters or 100 percent full during the game." 23rd Street is also trying to do their part by encouraging their Twitter and Facebook followers to attend College Gameday on Saturday morning inside Allen Fieldhouse.
A Lawrence tradition since 1953, Johnny's Tavern has become a signature location for students and locals to watch Kansas basketball games. Rick Renfro, an owner of Johnny's says the number of students and locals who go to Johnny's
to watch the games is almost equal.
"I'd say it's about 40 percent students and about 60 percent locals," Renfro said. Despite the 8 p.m. tipoff for Saturday night's game against Texas, Johnny's is expecting a packed house. "I think it will be bigger than usual because of College Gameday," Renfro said.
"The beauty of it that we don't really have to promote Gameday to get people to come in; I just have to unlock the doors."
SET'EM UP JACKS,
1800 E. 23RD ST.
Although it's located on the edge of town, Setem Up Jacks has found its niche as a thriving atmosphere to catch a Kansas basketball. Owner Dan Koehn says that although the restaurant isn't located near campus, it's still one of the best places in town to enjoy a game. "We are pretty much full for every home game," Koehn said. "The students that we usually do really well with are the ones that are from around here and that have come in from Kansas City." For the day of the Texas game, Setem Up Jacks will have ESPN on throughout the day to provide patrons with live updates and information prior to tipoff.

Matt Easton, a senior from Libertyville, Ill., is working to avoid the constraints of falling into any one musical genre by creating one that is all his own. Easton is both a rapper and musician and feels that there is a niche in the music market for artists like him.

Student musician creates genre, avoids constraints
"I first started making rap music freshman year of high school as a joke. I made some albums here and there in this little rap group." Easton said. "I took my music more seriously in college though, and I got into producing during my freshman year. My solo career started when I was a sophomore, once I started making my own beats and playing the piano."
Are you planning on falling in love with pants this Valentine's Day?
The Matt Easton YouTube channel currently has more than 1.3 million hits. His most noted video among Jayhawks however, is the "Rockchall" rap.
Currently, Easton is focused on branding and marketing. His logo, ME, was created with the help of his manager and co-writer, Brian Taylor. The logo encompasses all aspects of Easton's music and individuality. "We're working with this ME logo, branding the Matt Easton name and what we stand for. The logo represents the individual and touches on the phrase, 'I'm gonna do me'." Easton said.
When asked if he had any musical background, Easton replied that he has had none at all. "My dad plays piano, so my whole life
Musically, Easton is working on a new EP release for iTunes. While creating music is of high priority, Easton also wants to focus on creating more music videos.
Drawing on the musical influences of Coldplay and Eminem—an unusual combination—Easton aims for a cross between the two.

"It didn't blew up the way we thought it would, but I produced that beat and something about it felt very uplifting and family oriented," Easton said. "KU is like a rockchalk family."
"As an artist, music videos are

I grew up listening to him. I play by ear. Everything has been completely self-taught. I don't know how to read music at all." Easton started composing this past year

Don't let being alone for Valentine's Day put you in a slump. Spend the day doing fun things with friends instead of lying on the couch alone
Singles just want to have fun
LAKEN RAPIER
Irapier@kansan.com
It's Valentine's Day. You're single. So what? It's Thursday night, and it's time to celebrate your independence. Happy Singles Awareness Day!
There's no shortage of things to do in Lawrence on Valentine's Day with your friends or even solo if you are brave enough.
Rather than sitting around
Sure, you can lie on the couch in your oversized sweatpants and watch "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" while obsessively refreshing Instagram to see obnoxious amounts of PDA, tacky homemade cards and heart-shaped food. Or you can rally the rest of the singles and head out for a night on the town. Who knows, maybe you will meet your future valentine.
and sulking with friends, Cay Wittenberg, a junior from St. Louis, is celebrating the relationships she has with her friends by throwing a party.
"It's something new this year that our guy friends thought of, just a spur of the moment thing." Wittenberg said. "We are going to just hang out, eat, drink and exchange small valentines."
But if you and your friends are looking to get out of the house, the Jayhawk Cafe's Lonely Hearts Club is calling your name.
This is the third year the Lonely Hearts Club will be serving up love potions in the Martini room.
"We will have red hot love shots and other sweet specials," said John Rowley, manager at the Jayhawk Cafe.
Last year, more than 120 singles gathered to celebrate Valentine's Day, and with the holiday falling
on a Thursday this year — the col
lege student's Friday — the head
count is anticipated to be greater.
"No one wants to sit at home and do nothing," Rowley said. "So you might as well go out and have a good time."
Speaking of having a good time, it wouldn't be a Thursday night without half-priced martini night at the Eldridge. And if you are looking to treat yourself to something sweet — or have a "Sex and the City"-esque girls night — one of those half-priced French Kiss martinis couldn't be more fitting.
But Liberty Hall has even more to offer to help cure the love sick.
For all you singles under the age of 21 who are looking for a more low-key way to celebrate, Liberty Hall is sure to impress both film and music lovers.
"Because it is Valentine's Day, after 'Purple Rain' we will have karaoke under rain light and even purple champagne," Cottin said.
"It's incredibly fun to watch and one of the greatest soundtracks for a love story," said Mick Cottin, Liberty Hall's cinema manager.
"Good mix of both couples, singles and groups of friends," Cottin said. "You can come alone or with friends."
KJHK and Liberty Hall have coupled together to pick the perfect music film for Valentines Day: "Purple Rain."
"Purple Rain" is a great movie for Valentine's Day,but that doesn't mean singles won't be celebrating at the historic theater.
So, no valentine? No problem. Valentine's Day can be anything you want it to be, so don't worry if Cupid hasn't cursed you this year.

COMMENTARY Talent alone not enough to win
The worst mistake Kansas can make this Saturday is to take Texas lightly.
The Jayhawks often have a "we are Kansas" aura of infidelity. They don't always have to fight for the 50/50 balls, or fight hard through a screen, or make the extra pass instead of taking a guarded shot. Other teams do that, and it means a loss. The Jayhawks do that, it simply means they win by fewer points.
This way of thinking has already stung the Jayhawks three times this year. First, it was Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are a capable team, but the Jayhawks were playing at the Phog. The mighty Jayhawks playing at home is the equivalent of giving the Karate Kid a bug-zapper. He's going to catch the fly with the chopsticks; there's no need to make it any easier.
By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com
However, Jayhawk pride got the best of Kansas, and it went down at home to Oklahoma State in a game that wasn't as close as the score made it appear.
Despite the loss, Kansas players continued to underestimate their opponents, in this case TCU. The Horned Frogs are the doormat of the Big 12. They are the turnstile to get into the subway. But to get through the turnstile, you have to pay your dues. The Jayhawks did not appear to take the game seriously, and it resulted in an embarrassing unset.
Finally, it seemed as though Kansas went into the Oklahoma game with the mentality that there was no way it could lose three games in a row. Spoiler alert: Kansas lost.
It took the knowledge that the Jayhawks were capable of continued failure to cause the team to come out and lay a beat down on the Wildcats. Kansas needs to go into every game with the mindset that if they do not play their absolute best as a team, a loss to any team in the country is possible.
A win requires more than having outstanding talent, although it certainly helps. More often than not, talent trumps all else. But knowledge of that talent can sometimes be a detriment. Once Kansas realized that its talent was not enough after its three-game losing streak, it dug down on defense, boxed out and rebounded, and battled for loose balls. The result being a blow out of a top-ten team.
Kansas players can not afford to think the losing streak was an anomaly. If they do, Texas could sneak out of the Fieldhouse with a win. The Longhorns, a perennial power in the Big 12, are having an off year. By record alone, they should not pose much of a threat, although former five-star recruit Myck Kabongo is returning to the lineup after a suspension for improper contact with an agent. Nevertheless, Kansas must approach the game as if it is the underdog.
The victory over Kansas State was not a remedy for all of Kansas' problems. It still struggles with a half-court offense, with low post scoring, and with turnovers. Thinking the problems are fixed is a sure recipe for regression.
Kansas should still play with swagger, but swagger as a result of current play, rather than talent based potential.

BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
All year long there have been two questions looming over this Texas team before they visit Lawrence on Saturday:
How bad are the Longhorns?
How much better does Myck Kabongo make them?
Kabongo adds speed, court vision and a basketball IQ that takes the Texas offense to a much more dangerous level.
The Texas team that will take James Naismith Court this weekend won't be like the squad Kansas faced in Austin a month ago. This time, the Jayhawks will have to prepare for a versatile point guard that is capable of changing the makeup of the Longhorns.
And now that Kabongo's
23-game NCAA suspension for receiving—and lying about—impermissible benefits has been lifted, Kansas will be playing a rejuvenated and retooled group of Longhorns.
"The Myck Kabongo returning to Texas situation is overrated," said ESPN Big 12 writer Jason King. "I think it's being overplayed. I don't think Myck Kabongo would have a made a huge difference for that team this season."
but considering the amount of coverage Texas will be getting on Saturday with ESPN College Gameday coming to town, he'll likely still be motivated to prove himself.
But King's argument isn't that the jayhawks shouldn't worry about Kabongo, rather that Texas' problems this season extend beyond the play of its point guard.
Just don't tell that to the Longhorns. In Kabongo's first game back Wednesday night versus Iowa State, the reinstated guard had 13 points, seven assists and grabbed four rebounds. You could chalk it up to an emotional return,
The Longhorns are second to last in the conference in the free throw percentage,last in rebounding defense and last in turnover margin.
A point guard can solve a lot of problems, but not all of them.
"He's a good player," King said of Kabongo. "But not an All-Star. He had a mediocre season as a freshman and I think it's just an excuse Texas is using for a bad season."
Yet Kansas coach Bill Self doesn't seem to be taking Kabongo's return lightly. He too calls Kabongo's return dangerous for the Jawhaws.
At least that's what the idea is. There are still those who believe Texas' chances won't improve even with the sophomore's return.
That's probably overstated.
In two games against the Jayhawks last year Kabongo went 1-11 from the field with eight assists and four rebounds. Not exactly a game-changing stat line.
As King puts it, Texas has a lot of nice players, and a lot of role players but no studs. Which is quite a change for a program that's recently produced NBA talents like Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, D.J. Augustin, Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson.
It's not just all about production when it comes to Kabongo, however. It's about the dynamic he brings to the Longhorns.
"We don't have rhythm," Texas
head coach Rick Barnes said after Texas fell to Oklahoma State last Saturday. "We don't have anything going. I realize some of it is because Myck plays point differently. All year long, we have tried to get consistency and we haven't."
There's no doubt that Texas and its fans expect that consistency to return with Kabongo.
Even Barnes sets the bar high for the sophomore who King says has yet to reach elite status.
When he was asked to answer the two looming questions Barnes joked with reporters.
"I think wed be 23-0," Barnes scoffed. "Number one in the country."

Comeback queens back in action
NATHAN FORDYCE

Twenty-two point deficit, not a problem.
Early in the season, the Kansas Jayhawks came back from an 18-point deficit to defeat Iowa State in overtime. So why not make it even more thrilling?
Fueled by senior guard Monica Engelman and her career-high 26 points, the Jayhawks found a way to erase the large deficit and win 76-75. The big come-from-behind victory was the fifth comeback of the season.
"I couldn't be more proud (of our team), to just to not give in, and hang in and hang in." Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We just got stops, played aggressive and confidentially and played together and shared the ball. We got some offensive rebounds, got possessions, got some free throws and took the lead and kept the lead."

Entering the second half, the Jayhawks found themselves in a 22-point deficit as they trailed 49-27. But then that switch flipped and the Jayhawks began to cut into the lead.

It's remarkable the Jayhawks were able to survive the onslaught in the first half. They had 19 of their 23 turnovers in the opening half which led to 20 of the 47 Horned Frogs points.
Senior guard Angel Goodrich dished out 10 dimes to help her teammates get open shots and continue to cut into the lead and ultimately take the lead.
The Jayhawks defense found a way to stop Medley from having her way as she did in the first half. Medley shot just 2-of-11 from the field for eight points in the second half, this after the 8-of-11 first half performance.
second half. Davis joined her 6'3" frontcourt teammate Gardner with 10 rebounds, 13 for the game, in second half. Davis also added 10 of her 19 points in the final 20 minutes as well.
All year the message to the Jayhawks had been win the boards and on Wednesday night, the Jayhawks not only won the boards, they dominated with. With Davis
and Gardner leading the way, the Jayhawks grabbed 58 rebounds with 22 of them coming off the offensive glass, which led to 17 second-chance points.
Not even senior center Lutricia Lovings and her average of 9.7 rebounds per game could help the Horned Frogs on the glass. They only had 34 rebounds while Lovings was well below her season average withfive.
Winning against teams that are supposed to be beaten is always crucial. And now with the Big 12 season quickly coming up on the end, the Jayhawks couldn't afford to suffer a brutal loss to the Horned Frogs. With the victory, the Jayhawks improved to 6-6 on the season within the Big 12 which keeps them right in the thick of things for the conference.

Longhorns brought out the best in Chalmers
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Besides a non-conference get-together with Memphis, there's probably not a more perfect opponent for Kansas to play when it retires Mario Chalmers' jersey than Texas.
Known for hitting the critical shot against Memphis in the 2008 NCAA Championship game, Chalmers also played some of his best basketball against the Longhorns. He averaged 17.6 points in six games against Texas, including a 20.3 scoring average in his final four games against them.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that it's merely coincidence that Chalmers, now the Miami Heat's starting point guard, will see his jersey retired against a team that brought out the best in him.
"The reason we picked that day was strictly because of NBA all-star weekend." Self said. "The fact that it's Texas and he performed so well against Texas and its College Gameday definitely just adds to it."
Chalmers probably was not the biggest name on the floor whenever the Jayhawks and Longhorns faced off. His teammates included Julian Wright, Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins.
Those Texas teams featured names like LaMarcus Aldridge, DJ. Augustin and A.J. Abrams.
During the two matchups in the 2006-2007 season, the spotlight belonged to a freshman named Kevin Durant. He dropped 32 and 37 points against the Jayhawks. But Kansas never lost to him.
Chalmers' Jayhawks beat Texas in the Big 12 Tournament championship game during each of his three years in a Kansas uniform.
He scored 15 points and went 4-4 from 3-point range in his freshman year in the 2006 Big 12 Tournament championship game.
earning the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award.
The next year he scored 17 points and made the game-tying 3-pointer (sound familiar?)(with 15 seconds left in regulation against Texas in the Big 12 final. Kansas won 88-84 in overtime.
"I knew Mario could make
I knew Mario big shots going back to his freshman year," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I didn't need to wait to see it then, and everybody always talked about with that team once we got into it everybody
knew who our go-to guy was even though we didn't publicly state that."
"When you play in games, it doesn't always turn out great, but with him, the vast majority did."
"But he was also a guy that was a great teammate and could score four points in a game and be totally content because somebody else was having a big game," Self said. "That team had so many weapons and everybody knew how to play and how to share it. It would be a different guy most
That game was one of the most entertaining in Big 12 Tournament history. Durant dropped 37. His teammate A.J. Abrams hung 19. So did Kansas' Julian Wright and Brandon Rush. Sherron Collins had 20.
When the game started, it seemed like Texas would win no matter what any Jayhawk did. Texas used an early 19-2 run to go up 32-10. Then Kansas pulled out a 24-7 run to close the halftime deficit to 39-34.
After Julian Wright put Kansas up 4-2 with 18:34 remaining in the first half, Kansas didn't lead again until Chalmer hit two free throws with 7:51 left in the second half to make it 61-10 Kansas.
The Jayhawks never led by more than five points while Texas led by as many as 22 points. By the end of overtime, the two teams had combined for 146 shot attempts. Brandon Rush played 44 minutes.
Four Longhorns played at least 40 minutes. But the most important stat was the final score, 88-84, made possible by Chalmers' three late in regulation.

Chalmers closed out the Big 12 Tournament his junior year with a career-high 30 points against Texas and made eight of his 12
3-pointers. His 30 points tied the Kansas record for most points in a tournament game.
Self said that was one of his most distinct Chalmers memories.
"He also made a shot off the same play in the '07 one to beat Durant and Augustin," Self said. "When you play in games, it doesn't always turnout great, but with him, the vast majority did."
His regular-season victory against Texas came during his sophomore season, in the final game of the regular season, at Allen Fieldhouse. The Longhorns led 54-42 at halftime as Durant dropped 25 points in the first 20 minutes of play. Chalmers was the one that kept Kansas in the game, scoring 13 points in the first frame. In the second half, the Jayhawks' ensemble torched Texas 48-32 to eradicate the Longhorns' advantage and give Kansas the 90-86 victory.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANC
Kansas put together its first complete conference game Monday against Kansas State, playing well from start to finish. The Jayhawks played miserably during the middle portion of their first game against Texas before a late surge downed the Longhorns. If Kansas keeps the rhythm it had Monday, it shouldn't have to sweat out the result until the final couple of minutes. But Texas has a new weapon in Myck Kabongo, who returned from a 23-game suspension Wednesday night against Iowa State.

PRESIDENT
Jah Johnson's experience and leadership means he will continue to start at the point, but it's important for Tharpe to be able to enter games and have an effect immediately. If he needs a few minutes to get into the flow of the game, it may be minutes Kansas can't afford to give. That was no problem Monday.
Where is this Kansas team right now?
QUESTION MARK
After displaying some of its worst basketball of the season, Kansas displayed its best basketball of conference play against the Wildcats. It's hard to tell from just one game if Kansas is permanently out of its funk, but the signs were encouraging. Another dominating wire-to-wire performance Saturday would be a good indication that Kansas has put its past behind them, but a sloppy saggest might indicate Kansas isn't back to being the clear-cut conference favorites.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks play with the same energy they did Monday night. Ben McLemore doesn't have to score 30 points again, but having four starters score in double figures again would be huge. It was the first time Kansas had four players in double figures since the Texas Tech game Jan. 12. Julius Randle, one of the country's top recruits, will be in attendance, and College GameDay is in Lawrence for the weekend. There's no reason Kansas shouldn't come out juiced.
NUMBERS
4-3 — Kansas' all-time record on College GameDay, including a 3-1 record at Allen Fieldhouse and a 1-1 record against Texas.

McLemore
Kansas might be unbeatable when McLemore shoots the ball the way he did against Kansas State. He shot the ball confidently and showed a decisiveness the whole team lacked during its losing streak. One of the most encouraging signs was the way he didn't let two early turnovers affect his mindset or willingness to score.

BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
DONALD ELLIS
★★★★★
Releford continues to be a model of consistency for the Jayhawks. He chipped in 10 points on 4-8 shooting against the Wildcats. Foul trouble limited him to only 22 minutes, but when he was in the game his tenacity fighting through screens on defense kept the Wildcats' shooters from getting many good looks.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
★★★☆
Johnson
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
The Jayhawks now know they can have a rhythmic game offensively even if Johnson struggles. The point guard scored only five points and missed all four 3-point attempts against Kansas State. He showed better decision-making later in the second half when he bypassed a couple of open threes so as not to let his cold shooting hammer Kansas's momentum.
★★★☆☆
Young
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
For the first time in conference play, Young's energy brought a noticeable difference to the Jayhawks' tempo against Kansas State. It's no coincidence that, when Young is part of a high-temp Kansas offense, the Jayhawks look much crisper. When teams have to worry about him receiving passes for easy dunks down low, it takes defenders away from Withe.
★★☆☆
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
Withey
Withey's had at least four blocks in three of the six games after having fewer than four blocks in the five games before that. His presence in the lane frustrated Kansas State's forwards Monday night and made it difficult for their guards to successfully penetrate the lane throughout the evening. He had 14 points the last time Kansas faced Texas.

MYCK KABANGO. GUARD
The sophomore from Toronto finally played his first game of the season on Wednesday against Iowa State. Kabango opted not to declare for the NBA draft last summer after he was suspended for accepting airfare and personal training instruction and then providing false and misleading information about the infractions during two interviews with university officials. At this point everyone is ready to see Kabango play again and play to the potential that his team has been hoping for.

JULIEN LEWIS. GUARD
The sophomore guard from Galveston has slowly progressed into one of the more important guards of the Texas rotation. Lewis displayed difficulty shooting against Oklahoma State over the weekend, going 3-13 and 2 of 7 from the 3-point line. However, Lewis will continue to develop into a solid performer for the Longhorns down the stretch of the season.

★★★☆☆
Lewis
SHELDON MCCLELLAN. GUARD
McClellan has continued to be one of the more efficient offensive freshman in the country despite the absence of Kabango and J Covan Brown from the lineup. However, he had a disappointing performance against Oklahoma State, scoring only four points. His field goal percentage is also dropping, shooting 41.9 percent for the season. McClellan will need to step up big time for the Longhorns to challenge the Jayhawks.
DEVILS

★★★★☆
JAVAN FELIX. GUARD
Felix has played fairly well in Kabongo's absence, but like many of the players he struggled against the Cowboys last weekend, turning the ball over eight times in his 27 minutes of play. Felix, like the rest of the Longhorns, will hope he can turn around his season with a victory, but it might be up to him as point guard to lead the charge. Having Kabango back will take some of the load away from Felix.

IOANNIS PAPAPETROU. FORWARD
The freshman from Athens, Greece has been a player who's been able to contribute in both the frontcourt and backcourt this season for the Longhorns. Papertrou shows a versatile skill set that makes him a promising pro player in the future. Throughout 23 games, he's averaging 8.2 ppg along with 4.5 rebounds. Papetrou's father played for the Greek National team for 11 years.

TEXAS TIPOFF
T
AT A GLANCE
Kansas hosts Texas after barely sneaking by the Longhorns by the score of 64-59 in the game in Austin on Jan. 19. Since then, the Longhorns continued to slip to the bottom of the Big 12 standings and are now out of reach to even make the NIT. With College GameDay in town and Mario Chalmers having his jersey retired, the Longhorns will need a Texas-sized upset to overcome the Fieldhouse emotion.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Demarcus Holland, guard
FEDERAL CENTRAL TERRITORY
Holland
Holland drew a start against Iowa State on Wednesday, but it's hard to tell if Barnes did it to get Javan Felix and Sheldon McCiellan's attention. Holland slowly has
improved, but it's unclear if he's ready for a prime-time position against the Jayhawks on Saturday.
QUESTION MARK
Will Myck Kabango make a big difference on the Longhorns roster?
People have made a big deal about Kabango coming back from his suspension, but at this point it won't make much difference for the Longhorns. Kabango is a good player with a bright future. Seeing if he will fit into the Texas rotation is still a major question mark coming down the stretch.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF..
The Longhorns hit a lot of outside shots. This is the only thing that can deter the Jayhawks. If Texas shoots well from the outside with its talented young guards then they might have an opportunity to hang with the Jayhawks.
NUMBERS
PREDICTION:
158th - Texas RPI ranking on the season.
1-7 - The Longhorns' record to games decided by six points or less to overtime this season.
36. 2 - Texas' field goal percentage defense for the season. This is secondbest in the nation behind only Kansas.

Road trip to challenge Jayhawks tennis team
TYLER CONOVER
tconover@kansan.com
After opening the season with consecutive wins, the Jayhawks tennis team was unable to navigate through Tulsas Golden Hurricane, and fell to 2-1 last weekend. Kansas has a golden opportunity this weekend to put that loss behind them as the team heads to South Carolina for a pair of matches.
On the menu for the layhawks this weekend are matches against Charleston Southern and No. 67 ranked College of Charleston.
After suffering its first sweep
The best pair in doubles play so far this spring has been junior Dylan Windom and freshman Maria Jose Cardona who are 2-1 so far. As for singles play the lawjays No.1 player junior Haley Faynier is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Kansas is in capable hands though as junior Claire Dreyer is 15-2 in singles playing dating back to the fall season.
of the spring season in doubles play against Tula, Kansas needs to get back to the level it was at against Denver and St. Louis where the team was a combined 5-1 in doubles play.
Paulia Los is playing well also as she is 2-1 in singles play, and 2-1 in doubles, this spring.
This road trip has potential to be difficult as the lajhawks are untested after a loss, and Kansas has to play a ranked College of Charleston team early Saturday morning after playing Friday at 2 p.m. against Charleston Southern. If Fournier is unable to play this weekend it will be a good opportunity for the younger players to step up and potentially gain confidence against some solid competition.

Women's team shows promise
L CHRIS HYRI
chybl@kansan.com
Last season, the Kansas Jayhawks women's golf team finished last in Big 12 play. Not good. Last fall, the team won back-to-back tournaments and added two more top ten finishes. Good.
The conclusion of one of the team's best fall seasons in program history has given reason for plenty of excitement. Giving the Jayhawks a boost along the way has been freshman Yupaporn "Mook" Kawinpakorn who won the Price's "Give 'Em Five" Intercollegiate tournament at the New Mexico State University Golf Course in Las Cruces, N.M., on Oct. 10. Junior Thanattra Boonrasaat was the Jayhawks leading scorer in the fall. Together, the two Thailand natives have been the team's two lowest stroke averages; a kind of foreign aid the Jayhawks can't succeed without.
"Fong is a little celebrity around here and her scores have been
improving. Mook has come in and played really well right out of the gate," said head coach Erin O'Neil Miller to kuathletics.com in a recent interview. "I am proud of both of them because it is not an easy thing to come over here, adjust to a different culture, a different style of golf and team golf. They have done a very good job."
The two have unquestionably led the squad on the course, but the supporting cast is close behind. Players like Meghan Potete and Audrey Yowell have helped hold the group together. The top five players for the Jayhawks have a scoring range of just 2.7 strokes.
Conference-wise, the only way to go is up for Kansas. Last fall was just what the Jayhawks needed to distance themselves from last season's nightmare.
"They want to maintain what they started in the fall" Miller said in the kuathletics.com interview. "Their goal was to give 120 percent every day, to have no excuses, to take 10
seconds before responding or reacting... It seems to have worked real well in the fall"
The Jayhawks' 2013 campaign will kick off tomorrow in Tallahassee, Fla. for the Florida State Match Up Invitational. The tournament is a format switch up for the Jayhawks, pitting teams in their own separate matches against each other. Kansas is set to square off against Furman on opening day.
The anxiety for the 2013 tee-off has been building among the squad, and with an impressive spring behind them, the lajayhaws are anxious to show what they can do.
"I think it is a good confidencebuilder," Miller said in the same interview. "There is definitely some good momentum. They are very excited to get started this spring... I think they are really excited to keep going and see what they can accomplish this season."

KANSAS 76,TCU 75
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND
The Jayhawks were able to convert a 23-point deficit in Fort Worth into a win for another comeback this season
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
In a 23-point come-from-behind victory on Wednesday night against TCU, the Jayhawks won the rebounding margin by 24. Kansas pulled down 58 rebounds over the course of the 76-75 win in Fort Worth, Texas.
Sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner grabbed 18 of those rebounds. That new career-high in rebounds for Gardner comes after Saturday's game in which she had just two rebounds.
Gardner likes to take pride in her blocked shots on the defensive end, and came up with a career-high there as well with 6 blocks.
In the second half alone, as Kansas made its comeback, Gardner had five points and 10 rebounds. Also in the second half, senior guard Monica Engelman came to life, and scored 18 points with four rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot.
For the Jayhawks, there can't be much of a better sign than to see Engelman play this way and break out of a slump in a major way. Engelman scored a career-best 26 points in the game. It was her 3-point shot from the left-wing with 3:28 left in the second half that gave the Jayhawks their first lead of the game.
Senior Carolyn Davis also provided 13 rebounds, giving the Jayhawks 31 rebounds between their two starting post-players.
Kansas Coach Bonnie Henrickson has mentioned rebounding as one of her "toughness areas," and it has been an area of focus for the Jayhawks all season. This appears to be the type of performance on the boards that Henrickson has been hoping to see.
Henrickson said the team was soft in their last game against West Virginia. It was clear that Henrickson was talking about the team as a collective group, but
she used both Davis and Gardner as examples. The two post players demonstrated their toughness against TCU.
Everything starts in the paint for the Jayhawks right now. Senior guard Angel Goodrich is not putting up high scoring games, but she did dish out 10 assists against TCU. When Goodrich is struggling to score as she has been lately, it's important that the Jayhawk postplayers become a dominant presence inside.
Both teams shot below 40 percent in the game, making rebounds the most important stat of the game. Kansas collected 22 offensive rebounds and scored 23 second chance points, and they would need every one of them to make the 23-point come back.
A loss to TCU (7-15), a team that has still not managed to win a game in its new conference, would likely have ended any hope for an at-large bid for Kansas. Under pressure, the Jayhawks played an unbelievable
second half, and rebounding was a vital part of it.
The Jayhawks will likely have pressure to keep winning for the rest of the season in order to make the NCAA tournament, but for this team, that seems to be the only way it knows how.
Monica Engelman said after the loss to West Virginia that this team wasn't changing its expectations at all. A loss on Wednesday night would have destroyed those expectations, but the Jayhawks wouldn't let that happen, even if the shots weren't falling.
"I couldn't be more proud (of our team), to just to not give in and hang in and hang in," Henrickson said. "We just got stops, played aggressive and confidentially and played together and shared the ball. We got some offensive rebounds, got possessions, got some free throws and took the lead and kept the lead."

Kansas 90, Texas 65
Senior Wayne Simien ensured Kansas made a grand entrance on its first College Gameday appearance, pacing Kansas with 27 points on 11-17 shooting. The Jayhawks also got 29 points from 20 Texas turnovers, helping them dismantle the Longhorns 90-65.
The Longhorns totaled five assists for the entire game. Kansas senior point guard Aaron Miles dished out eight assists by himself as the Jayhawks finished with 24 assists and only 10 turnovers. Seniors Keith Langford, Miles and sophomore J.R. Giddens joined Simien in double figures.
2006 - FEB. 25, ERWIN CENTER, NO. 8 KANSAS AT NO. 7 TEXAS
Texas 80. Kansas 55
Texas got revenge for the spanking Kansas administered on them the previous season, sending the Jayhawks back to Lawrence with an 80-55 defeat.
The Longhorns shot 6-12 from behind the arc in the first half, and used a 20-8 run to break the game open at the beginning of the second half. Texas shot 55.1 percent from the field, the highest total by a lajwahk opponent that season.
Freshman Julian Wright led Kansas with 18 points, and freshman Mario Chalmers added 10 points.
2007 - FEB. 3, ALLEN
FIELDHOUSE, NO. 10 TEXAS A&M
AT NO. 6 KANSAS
Texas A M 69, Kansas 66
The Aggies finished the game on a 17-4 run to beat Kansas 69-66, the jayhawks' final defeat before beginning their 69-game home winning streak.
Acie Law IV led all scorers with 23 points for A&M, hitting the goahead 3-pointer with 20 seconds left.
Freshman Sherron Collins had the big game for Kansas, hitting three of four 3-pointers after coming off of the bench and contributing a team-high 18 points. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Julian Wright also scored in double figures, and Wright contributed 10 rebounds.
Kansas outrebounded the Aggies 40-29 and held a 19-8 advantage on the offensive glass, but the second-chance opportunities weren't
enough to offset the Aggies' eight 3-pointers.
2008 - MARCH 1, ALLEN
FIELDHOUSE, KANSAS STATE AT
NO. 7 KANSAS
The Jayhawks made up for their second loss in the last 38 games against Kansas State earlier in the season by defeating the Wildcats 88-74 behind junior guard Brandon Rush's 21 points.
Kansas 88, K-State 74
Sophomore Sherron Collins contributed 18 points and made six consecutive field goal attempts. Senior guard Russell Robinson scored 14 points, while senior forward Darnell Jackson and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur added 10 points apiece. Jackson scored eight of Kansas' first 13 points in the second half as the Jayhawks extended their lead to 52-29.
Kansas made 11 of its 23 3-point attempts, while the Wildcats only went 6-21. Freshman forward Michael Beasley was K-State's only source of offense, scoring 39 points on 11-23 shooting. Beasley was limited in the first half by two early fouls, playing only 12 minutes in the first half. No other Wildcat scored in double figures.
2010 - JAN. 30, BRAMLAGE

11 K-STATE
Kansas 81, K-State 79
Senior Sherron Collins scored a crucial layup with 9.2 seconds left in overtime, lifting Kansas over the Wildcats 81-79.
Collins was fouled on his layup, which put the Jayhawks ahead 79-76. He missed the free throw, but junior Cole Aldrich grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to junior Brady Morningstar, who hit two free throws to give Kansas an insurmountable five-point lead.
Aldrich had a team-high 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Morningstar, Collins and sophomores Tyshawn Taylor and Marcus Morris scored in double figures. Aldrich and Morris scored 15 of Kansas' first 22 points.
Jacob Pullen led the Wildcats with 22 points, scoring 15 after halftime. Denis Clemente added 13 points as K-State also finished with five players in double figures.
Rodney McGruder's old-fashioned 3-point play with 34 seconds in regulation tie the game at 69. After forcing a turnover, K-State had a chance to grab the victory, but junior Tyrel Reed stripped Dominique Sutton before he could attempt a layup.
2011 - JAN. 29, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE. KANSAS STATE AT
NO. 6 KANSAS
Thomas Robinson scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds in an emotional first game after burying his mother, Lisa, who passed away the previous week, in a 90-66 drubbing of K-State.
Kansas 90, K-State 66
Robinson shot 0-3 in the first half and finished with two points from free throws. It was evident the junior badly wanted to play well, but the shots weren't falling for him.
That changed in the second half.
Robinson scored his first basket on a jumper about five minutes after the second half started. Robinson made a layup on Kansas' next possession, and after a Jacob Pullen layup for K-State, Robinson buried a long jumper just inside the 3-point line to send Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy.
Robinson shot 7-8 in the second half, and the Jayhawks began the second half by making its first nine field goals. Junior Markieff Morris led the five Jayhawks in double figures with 20 points.
At halftime Kansas retired Wayne Simien's jersey. Simien was the Big 12's Player of the Year in 2005 and a consensus All-American and finished his career 12th in school history in scoring with 1593 points.

MISSOURI
Missouri 72. Kansas 71
Missouri 12, Kansas 71
Senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor missed two free throws with 35 seconds left in the second half and Kansas down 72-71, which helped Missouri hold on for its first victory against Kansas since 2009.
Marcus Demnön scored nine straight points to put the Tigers ahead after they trailed 71-63 with 3:25 remaining, and the Jayhawks wouldn't score again.
Junior forward Thomas Robinson scored 19 of his 25 points in the second half and added 13 rebounds. Taylor did most of his work in the first half when he scored 17 of his 21 points. Denmon shot 6-9 from beyond the arc and scored 29 points.
Taylor scored eight of Kansas' first 10 points, but then Missouri held Kansas without a field goal for four minutes and used a late 11-0 run to take a 39-34 lead into the locker room.
Robinson and junior guard Elijah Johnson combined for the Jayhawks' first 15 points after halftime, but Kansas failed to score when it mattered most as the Tigers ended the game on another 11-0 run.

Kansas focuses on consistency
JOE DAUGHTERY
jdaughtery@kansan.com
Players and coaches stress staying consistent and building on the strong start from the first weekend of the season.
The Jayhawks started the season off 4-0 in route to the championship game in the Florida International tournament. The weekend came to somewhat of a sour end when the Jayhawks lost 3-2 in the championship game to NC state. Even with the disappointing end to the weekend, the Jayhawks did numerous things well that they could build on.
Head Coach Megan Smith said she thought the offense was explosive at points and the pitching and defense were solid as well. Smith said that the main thing she wanted the team to focus on in the upcoming weeks is to remain consistent.
"I think we need to be more consistent, I think we had spurts of greatness in a lot of different areas but couldn't really sustain it and I think we just need to be more consistent with what we're doing," Smith said.
Last weekend marked the return of junior Alex Jones after sitting out the entire season last year with
a torn ACL. Jones said she was chomping at the bit to get back out and play.
"I was crazy excited to get back on the field," lones said. "It was intensified last weekend getting to play some good ball teams and feeling like I have come back mentally stronger and physically stronger and I don't feel like my ACL is holding me back at all."
Last weekend was also the debut of freshman catcher Alex Hugo. Hugo led the league with a .667 average in her collegiate debut, racking up 10 hits - more than any other hitter in the Big 12. Hugo said the experience of her first game was nerve-racking but it was good to finally play. She also said her goals going forward are keeping her hitting consistent and helping the team by getting them going and keeping the energy up.
Through the first weekend, Kansas is the only school in the league to have three players in the top-10 for batting average (Alex Hugo, 667, 1st; Alex Jones, 563, 3rd; Maggie Hull, 471, 8th). The Jayhawks are expected to face tough tests from all of the teams that are in the Tiger Invitational.
Coach Smith said that every team in this tournament should prove to
be a great challenge for the Jayhawks this weekend. The Jayhawks play Indiana State this Friday at 5:30 p.m. Smith said they are a fast team and they run a lot which is something the Jayhawks didn't see the first weekend. The Jayhawks play Tennessee Chattanooga later Friday night at 8 p.m. Smith said they are just a team you love to play against because, even though they are from a small conference, they can play with anyone and are solid all the way around.
The Hawks will also face Auburn and D1 newcomer Bryant this week end at the tournament. Though the Jayhawks have never faced Bryant, Coach Smith said she has found a lot of information about their team and they will be tough to beat because they have competed and won against D1 teams before.
"I'm familiar with Auburn and they've always been solid. That team has always had great pitching and offensively, they get it done. Smith said. "It's a classy program, a classy team and were excited to go there and play in their facility, which is beautiful."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We have reached a point in the 2012-13 season where everyone can basically agree there are eight or nine teams that can win the national title, and that none are distinctly flawless or dominant."
Eamonn Brennan, ESPN.com college basketball writer
FACT
FACT OF THE DAY
Of the 7 national championship games that went into overtime, Kansas has been involved in two of them. 1957, 2008.
---
— ESPN.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the last NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player that was a freshman?
A: Anthony Davis, Kentucky, 2012. ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW College basketball elite still uncertain
Fast forward to March 17. It's selection Sunday, and you’re happier than a kid at the candy store because the 2013 NCAA Tournament Bracket is official. You grab your pencil, and habitually write Kansas on six different lines with the last one reading "National Champion" underneath.
We all do it. And frankly, it works. In recent years, we have been blessed with fantastically talented basketball teams that enter the Big Dance with legitimate title hopes.
But this year is a bit differen
But this year is a bit different. Kansas certainly has the game to get there, and McLemore and the gang reminded us of that Monday night. Now, the question is who to pencil in on the other side of that line.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
The parity of college basketball this year has been through the roof. Or you could say there are no elite teams.
Regardless, no single team can latch into a spot at the top. The top-five teams are dropping like files recently. Every队 ranked No. 1 in the past five weeks has lost within days of achieving that ranking.
This leaves us over zealous bracket planners confused on our Final Four selections. A strong Final Four case could be made for as many as eight other teams.
Who you ask? Sure, I'll list them.
Indiana, Duke, Miami, Michigan, Syracuse, Florida, Michigan State, and Gonzaga. And yes, Gonzaga is currently receiving first place votes in both major polls.
Each team has flashed as many moments of invincibility as they have vulnerability—see Kansas' last 14 days.
It will be interesting to watch the 'Hawks leading in March, but even more entertaining to observe who separates themselves from the pack. My guess is as good as yours. Just too much is going on in the top-10.
Even come tourney time it will be impossible to know. The No. 5 seeds are instantly on upset alert and after last year, even No. 2 seeds have to be careful.
KU
No strict formula has been proven over the last few years. Kentucky did it with ridiculous talent. Connecticut
a guy named Kemba. Duke did it with chemistry and coaching. Kansas needed a Miracle.
It may come down to the hottest team —Miami. It may come down to the most talented teams—Indiana and Duke.
Or it may come down to a freshman who can both play and dance like a future NBA No. 1 draft pick.
And if AirMcLemore is dancing in Atlanta, you better believe you'll find me dancing on Mass St., too.

BATTING
COACHING
The Jayhawks return all three weekend starters while adding Tanner Poppe to the rotation for the 2013 season. Frank Duncan's instinctive pitching style leads the Kansas rotation after maintaining a 3.23 ERA with 100 strikeouts in his 6-8 campaign last season. Sophomore Wes Benjamin and senior Thomas Taylor round out the weekend rotation with senior Tanner Poppe making the move from the bullpen to the starting rotation this season.
Coach Ritch Price is in his 10th season as the Jayhawks' head coach. In his tenure at Kansas, Price is 323-284 with 66 wins over ranked opponents. Price has coached 44 professional draft picks, 26 all-conference players and 52 academic all-conference selections. The Sweet Home, Ore. native came to Kansas from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Calif., in 2003.
PITCHING
KU
The Jayhawks are lead by captains Alex DeLeon, Jordan Dreiling and Kevin Kuntz. Last year Kuntz started all 58 games at stopstop, batting .251 with three doubles, two triples and 29 runs scored. Jordan Dreiling makes the move to third base for his senior season. Dreiling hit .301 last season with no errors in 45 appearances. Coach Price moved Kaiana Eldredge from second base to catcher, a position Eldredge once played in high school, for the 2013 season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ka'iana Eldredge, catcher
Eldredge makes the move from second base to catcher. Eldredge, a junior from Honolulu, made the 2011 Big 12 All-Freshman team making 41 starts at second base and seven at catcher. Last year Eldredge struggled at the plate, batting .185 with three doubles and 18 runs scored as a sophomore. Eldredge is still making the adjustment to life behind the plate.
BROOKLYN Jets
Eldredge
BATTING
The Wolf Pack are fortunate to return their top four batters and six of their top eight for the 2013 season, losing only Joe Kohan and Garrett Yrigoyen. Nevada is going to see a lot of power-hitting from Brooks Klein, Hugo Hernandez, Ray McIntire and Kewbey Meyer. Nevada won 13 of its 23 one-run games last year and want better batting to try and win more close games.
COACHING
Gary Powers enters his 31st year as the coach of Nevada, his alma mater, and has compiled an overall record of 912-730-5. With two big pitchers in Bradley Shipley and Tom Jameson on the team, Powers wants to see his team improve from last years 32-25 record. Powers has taken four Wolf Pack teams to NCAA Regional appearances in 1994, 1997, 1999 and 2000. He's also earned three Big West Conference Coach of the Year awards, a WAC Co-Coach of the Year award, two BWC titles and two divisional titles.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Bradey Shipley, pitcher
Bradey Shipley is predicted to be one of the top 15 players selected in the upcoming MLB draft. The right-handed pitcher has a lethal arm and had 88 strikeouts. He finished the 2012 season with an ERA of 3.23. Shipley was named to First Team All-WAC and also earned the WAC Pitcher of the Year award. Kansas batters know they can expect a lot of pitches to come their way in the 90s.
Shipley
PITCHING
Nevada allowed nearly 300 runs last season with 25 percent of those runs being given up in the first agil ninth innings. Early on in games, the Wolf Pack faced early deficits after allowing 41 runs in the first and third innings. The bullpen had a hard time controlling opposing batters after it allowed 31 runs in ninth innings in 2012. Powers pitching coach Pat Flury must work with their pitchers to prevent them from allowing a lot of runs and improve from last year's production. With Bradie Shipley and Tom Jameson as the team's top two pitchers, Nevada can expect to allow fewer runs and help the Wolf Pack get off to better starts to games this season, starting with Kansas on Friday when Shipley takes the mound

Former point guard Mario Chalmer's jersey joins other legends in Allen Fieldhouse
BLAKE SCHUSTER

Kansas' policy is to wait five years after a player has left the program before deciding whether or not to retire their jersey. For Mario Chalmers there didn't have to be a discussion, there was never a doubt his day would come.
That's just one of the benefits of being a National Championship hero —knocking down a gametying 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds remaining. The shot may have only evened the score, but anyone who watched it live knew Kansas had just taken an insurmountable lead.
The other benefits include never paying for another meal in Lawrence, instant celebrity status and, of course, a big shiny ring. But only having his Jersey retired will allow a player to consider himself among the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Paul Pierce, Jo Jo White, Clyde Lovelle and, well you get the idea.
It was only a matter of counting
down 1,825 days starting around midnight on April 7th, 2008.
"We set that policy where we should wait five years," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I think it's a great policy because now kids will definitely respect it more coming back than they would if it would've just happened right after they finished playing."
"One of my goals when I first went to KU was to make a name. And make sure my name lasts forever in Kansas history."

It might not be possible to respect Chalmers more now than five years ago. There won't be another parade down Mass Street, even though some fans might argue for one, but there will be a group of students who for the
last half decade relived Mario's Miracle every home game before tipoff, cheering like it's happening live before their eyes.
His legacy remains untouched, but his legend has only grown.
"One of my goals when I first went to KU was to make a name," Chalmers said. "And make sure my name lasts forever in Kansas history."
"He was as clutch of a player
In 2006, Chalmers set the Kansas record for steals by a freshman with 86, recorded 420 assists over his three-year career (14th all-time by a jayhawk) and scored 1,341 points. Perhaps it's a questionable resume for a jersey retirement, but there's no statistic for how good a player performs in the final moments of a game. If there were, Chalmers would own the Kansas record for that too.
Even though one shot defines his career, there's no denying the impact he had with the Jayhawks back when Allen Fieldhouse only held four championship banners.
as we've ever had here," Self said. "He was a guy that seemed like the bigger the stage, the brighter he shined. He had an orneriness and toughness that a lot people didn't see because they saw the smile. He was an assassin on the court."
The smile Self refers to has been immortalized in Allen Fieldhouse for quite some time now in the form of a mural outside of the lajhwaks' locker room.
It's just another reminder of what Chalmers' career has meant to a university that largely defines itself by the game it helped perfect.
Every future jayhawk running through that tunnel will know Mario's Miracle, and once they enter the gym and look to the rafters they'll understand the importance of the man behind it.
"He was just a treat to coach," Self said. "He actually got out of Kansas exactly what he set out to get out of Kansas."

COMMENTARY
Finding individual meaning in those 10.8 seconds
What can 10.8 seconds mean?
That was my
assignment — to find out what Mario Chalmers' miracle heave means to Belf Self five years later
And I tried to do just that. I really did. But what kept pounding through my head was the fact that Chalmers' shot, his career, means so much to so many people, and Bill Self is just (a very important) one of them.
For starters, it means that Chalmers' jersey will be suspended over the bleachers in Allen Fieldhouse, hanging next to jerseys with the last names "Chamberlin," "Manning" and "Pierce."
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
It means that the iconic image of Chalmers' shot — the one where Chalmers rises over Chris Douglass-Roberts with "3.7" on
the shot clock looming over him — will always be on the mural in Allen Fieldhouse next to the Javahaws' locker room.
It means that when fathers, even grandfathers, take their children to Allen Fieldhouse in 50 years, they'll point to the mural and ask their kids, "Do you know who that is?" Some kids will dutifully respond with "Mario Chalmers" or "Super Mario," and others will listen to
a tale.
This is not just any tale. It is a tale of how one shot pulled the underappreciated Kansas program back on the stage of national relevancy. Kansas had the wins, the history, the tradition, but it didn't had a championship in 20 years.
That parental tour guide doesn't need to look in his book. He'll gladly tell the child about the day that Mario Chalmers made him dance in the streets like a fool. The day when Chalmers became a legend. Those grandchildren will go on to tell their children, too.
This is a tale of how one shot changed everything.
basketball. It means reminiscing about where you were, what you did, how you celebrated the events that followed. It means you're stuck watching Kansas basketball videos for the next 30 minutes.
It means going onto Youtube for a quick minute with your roommates to re-watch the great shot in the history of Kansas
If you're a student now, it means you're jealous of the students in 2008. If you were a student then, it means you got to celebrate on Massachusetts Street with thousands of your classmates. It means you had the greatest party, possibly the greatest night of the greatest four years of your life.
And back to my assignment—I guess I'll get to that one person who may have had a few million more reasons to care about the shot than everyone else, even though they'll argue that they had a million, too. Their million
just isn't quite as literal — and doesn't have a dollar sign in front it.
More important than the money, Bill Self became a legend when Chalmers' shot gave Kansas five more minutes to beat an emotionally distraught Memphis team. When the shot fell, there was little doubt that Self would be the fourth coach in Kansas history to reach the pinnacle of the sport synonymous with KU.
Keep in mind, it was just two games before that Self fell to his knees and pounded the court as the Jayahwks survived destiny's Davidson team. He was so relieved, so thrilled to break the Elite Eight barrier and make it to the Final Four. It meant he was no longer just a really good coach. It meant he was elite.
But this is just one writer, one
college student's interpretation of what those 10.8 seconds mean, when Sherron Collins almost lost the handle, Chalmers rose for the tie and Kansas suddenly had life in a lifeless game.
Really, there's no other way to say it: those 10.8 seconds mean something to us all.
So while you're sitting in Allen Fieldhouse watching the jersey ceremony accompanied with the emotional highlight montage and the tear-filled speech, please think way back to April 7, 2008 and try remember exactly what you were doing, who you were with, how you celebrated that miracle shot.
And while you're at it, ask yourself the question: What do those 10.8 seconds mean to you?

He scored a career-high 30 points against the Longhorns in the 2008 Big 12 championship game.
TEXAS 35 ANSA S 30
Julian Wright, then sophomore forward, powers through the lane against then Texas freshman, Kevin Durant. Durant scored 25 points in the first half before being injured. The Jawhays defeated the Lonhorses 90-86 for the B12 Championship.
He hit arguably the biggest shot in Kansas basketball history with his three-pointer against Memphis in the 2008 National Championship game.
But a game that might get overlooked is one where he and Kansas won their 1,900th game and fourth consecutive conference against the Texas Longhorns by a score of 90-86.
Why is this game memorable?
Because the Jayhawks played Kevin Durant that day.
Kansas coach Billy Self remembers the game, particularly the first half.
On March 3, 2007, Durant stepped into Lawrence with the same professionalism and confidence that he shows most games while playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
McColough remembers writing a story about Durant's performance in that game, but more than anything he remembers the reaction from the Kansas fans.
"We probably defended him above average, and he probably got 25 in that first half. It was one of those days when he could've got 35 or 40 in a half.
"That was definitely the best half that anyone has ever played in Allen Fieldhouse in at least the six years I had been watching games—and it's not even close," he said recently in an interview.
Another astute observer of the game that day was Brady McCollough, one of the University beat writers for the Kansas City Star.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
"Even Danny (Manning) on the bench said, "That's a bad man. That's the baddest man to play here."
For him, the first half was bigger than your everyday impressive performance.
"You're used to seeing at KU, in the big games at Allen, the crowd, and the KU defense and Bill Self's man-to-man defense teams just stifling them and taking them out of their rhythm, beating by 10, 15, even 20 points in the first half.
At that time, McCollough was just starting to cover the Jayhawks. This was one of the first games he covered inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"And here Durant is totally unfazed by it, loving it. And you could tell he loved being at Allen Fieldhouse, and he respected the venue. He's just drilling shots in people's faces and the crowd, it starts with an 'ooh' and 'aah' and by the end of the first half the place was quiet."
Gary Amble, the morning meteorologist for KCTV-5, was at the game as a fan. A longtime Jayhawk supporter since graduating from the University in 1987, he experienced a variety of emotions that day in the Fieldhouse.
"I know my wife was getting a little upset because he couldn't miss, but I said, 'You know what, just enjoy it because this is something you never get to see.' I think even to this day he would probably have to remember because I don't think I've ever seen a player do that before," Amble said.
- Durant led the Longhorns on an 18-4 run, including a stretch where he scored 12 straight points.
- To put the first half in perspective,
here's some numbers from that daw:
- He scored the most points in a single half by a KU opponent since Texas Tech's Rayford Young put up 35 on Feb. 13, 1999.
- His ten field goals were the most made in a half against Kansas since Pepperdine's Gerald Brown made 10 on Dec. 18, 1997.
Durant might have had a great first half; the second half was a different story.
Julian Wright, a sophomore forward at the time, drew the assignment of guarding Durant for most of the first half.
After trailing by 14 points, Kansas went on a 22-6 run in the first four minutes of the second half, and
"All you can do is contest." Wright said after the game in 2007. "Coach was telling us to make him put it on the ground and stay on him. We threw a lot of guys on him to try to give him some different looks. He's a great player and has a bright future."
eventually gained a 64-61 lead.
A few big plays by senior center Sasha Kaun and junior forward Brandon Rush predicated this comeback, but it was two big shots by Chalmers that ended up leading the Jawhaws to the eventual victory.
In fact, he hit two shots from almost exactly the same spot on Naismith Court. One was at the 16:40 mark, the other with 11:50 remaining in the game.
Tully Corcoran, a former Kansas basketball beat writer for the Topeka-Capitol Journal, remembers it as one of the first times Chalmers displayed his ability to hit clutch shots against the Longhorns.
"He always did that against Texas," Corcoran said. "He was like the UT-killer."
"I think it did a little bit," Pratt said in an interview last week. "I think Kansas also played better defense in the second half. They just changed up, and their defensive intensity was a lot more.
The game appeared to be turning into a shootout: two dueling future NBA players leading their teams.
Durant's father, Wayne Pratt, was at the game that day and remembers it changing the momentum of the game.
"I do believe him twisting his ankle took his aggressiveness away a little bit, too, because it was still sore and when I came down to check on him, he was still hopping around a little bit. I don't think he was as aggressive."
Durant was driving through the lane, just as he had several other times throughout the game, but this he landed funny and the ankle turned.
When Durant returned to the game a few minutes later and walked out of the tunnel, something unprecedented happened.
But Durant's magical game took an unfortunate turn when he twisted his ankle with 11:20 remaining in the game.
This is how Self remembers it:
"The thing that was cool was after he goes back to get retaped after he tweaked his ankle, our fans gave him an ovation when he came back out. Where else in college basketball would you see that?"
Still, the Jayhaws took advantage of Durant's burn ankle by also switching the defensive assignment to sophomore Brandon Rush. This, combined with the ankle injury, limited him to seven points in the second half.
Once the Jayhawks took control of the game, they never gave it up.
"In the second half he started going a little cold," Rush said after the game in 2007. "He wasn't taking as many shots as he did in the first half, but I think we did a pretty good job on him in the second half. He's the best I've ever faced in my life. He's the best by far."
Kansas went on to win its fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season title. Kansas also became only the second team at that time to have 1,900 victories in the history of their program.
After the game, Durant was sitting in a chair in the hallway outside the Texas Longhorns' locker room. Reporters surrounded him to answer questions, and Durant politely obliged.
At this point he was disappointed that he could not accomplish the feat of not only beating Kansas, but also beating Kansas and winning in this historic building.
McCollough was one of those reporters interviewing him.
"He probably realized at that point that there was a reason he was so revved up to play in Allen Fieldhouse because it's the type of venue that can overcome the most amazing of opponent's feats just with its kind of magic and aura," McCollough said. "That's definitely one of those days when you didn't feel like Kansas won
the game; you felt like the Fieldhouse won that game."
There have been a few games in the past where the Fieldhouse did win the game, but none of them compared to the performance of Durant that day.
The conference title didn't matter. The 1,900th win didn't matter. Not even Mario Chalmers scoring 21 points and going 5-for-5 from 3-point range and showing off for his clutch shooting ability for one of the first times at Kansas mattered.
No this day will always be about Durant. And it will always be remembered that way.
"It was like everybody knew that they were watching greatness that afternoon," Self said. "It was a fabulous performance by.Kevin, and certainly a game that fans will talk about for years to come."

Texas' Kevin Durant shoots over Kansas forward Julian Wright in the first half of the game in Allen Fieldhouse March 5, 2007. Durant, then a freshman, scored 25 points in the first half. He finished with 32 points after leaving the game for a few minutes in the second half with an ankle injury.
MARK DENT editor@kansan.com
As Durant dropped threepointers, stole the ball from guards and pulled up for midrange jumpers, he looked like a former Celtic great.
A different type of athlete in that he can run the floor in a way Bird could never dream of. Durant's athletic ability is far greater than Bird's. What Durant did in the first half on Saturday — 25 points on 10-for-14 shooting, including 5-for-5 from three-point range — was reminiscent of someone even more special.
Danny Manning was right.
He and Texas star Kevin Durant are not even comparable. Durant's display from Saturday left Kansas coach Bill Self thinking of some of the NBA's all-time greats.
"He's a different type of athlete than Larry," Self said, "but Bird may be the guy."
"Michael doesn't get on rolls like he got on there." Self said.
Durant was Michael Jordan good. The Texas freshman scored 32 points in his team's 90-86 loss on Saturday.
His 25 first half points were the most he made in a single half
this season. The big half sparked his team to a 54-42 advantage.
Kansas forward Julian Wright and guard Brandon Rush were the poor souls charged with defending Durant. No matter what the sophomores did, Durant found a way to score. He started the game by making a three-pointer.
"He's one of the best players to ever play on that court. He's on a different level."
and followed it with a jumper to give his team an early 8-4 lead. Then, he stole the ball and dunked it. On the next possession, he shot a turnaround over Wright. By the
BILL SELF Kansas men's basketball coach
It only got worse when Durant awkwardly stepped on freshman forward Darrell Arthur's foot with about 11 minutes left and fell to the ground grabbing his left ankle. Durant went to the locker room. He had hurt the ankle during
14:14 mark, Durant had 12 points on 4-for-4 shooting.
The second half quickly turned sour for Durant. The Jayhawks scored 22 points in the first five minutes to take a 64-61 lead. In that time, Durant only attempted one shot and missed it. Self emphasized at halftime that they needed to limit his touches.
"I didn't think he was going to miss at all," Rush said.
Durant did finally miss, but he also made shots that he had no business making. Rush and Wright guarded him tightly and put their hands in his face on nearly every one of his shots.
"When you're on fire, all you can do is contest," Wright said. "That's all you can do. He was on fire the first half."
six-game win streak that included a double-overtime victory against Texas A&M. If the Longhorns would have won, they would have clinched a three-way tie for first place in the Big 12 and would have owned the top seed in next week's Big 12 Tournament.
A chance for the Big 12 Conference title also motivated him. Texas came into Saturday on a
Friday's practice and stepping on Arthur re-aggravated the injury. But an ankle was not enough to stop him. Durant returned four minutes later.
"Coach already knows I stay in anyways," Durant said. "I just wanted to suck it up for my teammates. They did a great job while I was out. I just wanted to play for them."
Durant did all he could the rest of the game to give his team the chance to earn that No. 1 seed. With Texas trailing 88-80 and only 26 seconds left, Durant hit a three-pointer. Longhorn guard A.J. Abrams made one after that to pull the Longhorns within two. But with a chance to tie in the closing seconds, his teammates couldn't find him.
Although he couldn't finish the game with a tying shot, Durant had a memorable, courageous performance in his first and likely last game at Allen Fieldhouse.
"He's done a lot of good things this year," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "What makes it impressive is what was at stake. I think he showed what he was about this game."
Durant certainly showed enough to impress Self,
"He's one of the best players to ever play on that court." Self said. "He's on a different level."

Kansas wins in overtime to earn NCAA title game
LMARK DENT
editor@kansan.com
SAN ANTONIO — Mario Chalms could dance now, now that his name had been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books.
He moved his hips to "Celebrate" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship.
That's right - national championship. Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in wertime on Monday night at the Alamodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-point deficit.
"God, we competed hard," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did."
Chalmers' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbed to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball.
Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long enough. Collins found him. Trailing 63-60, Chalmers shot a three near the top of the kev. Overtime.
The game should've been finished long before that play. The
Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it.
Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when they missed five of six free throws that would've iced the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas.
"I just knew we had the game after that." Arthur said.
A happyending seemed implausible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. He was ready to put himself at the top of the list of Jayhawk Final Four villains right up there with Carmelo Anthony, Juan Dixon and Grant Hill. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis. He couldn't miss if he tried. Really, Rose fired a long off-balance jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in. The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left.
The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked like Memphis would cut down the nets.
"A lot of guys thought the game was over," Darnell Jackson said, "but we just kept saving believe."
Self said those exact words to his team. Chalmers used Self's message and the memories from last season's comeback victories against Texas to motivate him.
Kansas has known all season it plays superior ball when Arthur is active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often.
Arthur took the inspirational words to heart as well. It was no surprise to see Chalmers take over in the clutch. Arthur was more of an unexpected hero.
Monday night he was a changed man. Arthur scored two big baskets toward the end of regulation and got another one in overtime. He finished with 20 points. Arthur had played his best game in the biggest game of his life.
In the tournament, Arthur's inconsistency got even worse. The one they call Shady reverted to his mind-bogglingly inconsistent ways throughout the postseason, disappearing in every game.
It's something he'll never forget, something all of the layhawks will never forget. They battled through adversity after two losses in three games in late February and didn't lose the rest of the way.
Now, they're champions. They'll go down as one of the best teams in Kansas history. It's something Russell Robinson has hoped for since the season started.
After all the dancing, high-fiving and screaming stopped, Robinson sat in the back of a golf cart with his head in his arms and a net around his neck, thinking about the accomplishment.
"You couldn't really have written it any better," Robinson said. "No way you could've written it better."

Jackson didn't get into the Jayhawks starting lineup until his senior year, but once he cracked it he averaged 11.2 points and 6.7 rebounds while Kansas made it's run to San Antonio, Texas. His strong senior season led to the Miami Heat selecting him 52nd overall in the 2008 draft, but his rights were traded to Cleveland. After spending time in the Cavaliers system the Milwaukee Bucks claimed him off waivers and ended up trading him to Sacramento in 2011. Jackson started off the current season in the NBA Development league but signed in China with the Flying Tigers in January.

Mario Chalmers was rightfully named Most Outstanding Player of the 2008 Final Four, but Brandon Rush made a pretty strong case for the accolade. He averaged 15.8 points and six assists per game in the tournament, including a 25 point outburst against North Carolina in the National Semifinal. Rush became the highest Kansas player drafted in the 2008 NBA Draft, going 13th overall to Portland but his rights were traded to Indiana where he spent the first three years of his professional career. In December, 2011 Rush was traded to the Golden State Warriors. In 289 professional games he's averaged 9.1 points per game, but is currently out due to an ACL tear.

He was named to the Big 12 Commissioner's honor rolls in 2007 and 2008. Kansas never lost a game in which Kleinmann scored. After graduating from Kansas Kleinmann pursued a career in architecture. He is currently an architect, urban designer and photographer at Helix Architecture+Design.

(Left) Morningstar was a sophomore on the 2008 National Championship team, but was redshirted and spent time helping the Jayhawks in practice. The year off did wonders for his college career as he went on to start 25 games as a senior in the 2010-11 season, averaging 7.1 points per game. Since leaving Kansas, Morningstar has spent time playing in Greece and in the NBA D-League, most recently with the Tulsa 66ers, but was cut on January 25 after injuring himself.
(Right) Reed may not have been the most productive member of the 2008 team, but you can't argue against someone with the title of "Winningest Jayhawk in Kansas History" — 132 wins on 17 losses. It's also hard to argue with the facts: Reed has two Final Four appearances, one National Championship, four Big 12 titles and was named an Academic All-American. Since leaving Kansas Reed spent time playing in Belgium, but has returned stateside and is currently a student at KU Med.

If Mario Chalmers is best remembered for his efforts in the Final Four, Kaun should never be forgotten because of what he did to get Kansas there. His 13 points and six rebounds against Davidson in the Elite Eight were crucial for the Jayhawks as they defeated the would-be Cinderella. Kaun was selected 56th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics but chose to pursue a career in his native Russia where he has played since. Most recently, Kaun was part of the Russian National team that brought home a Bronze medal from the 2012 London Olympics.

THE OTHER SIDE
The Memphis perspective on the Jayhawks' miracle
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
This is not their storv.
By the time the 2008 Jayhawks lifted the National Championship trophy many of the players had suffered through tournament catastrophes against Bradley and Bucknell. They had overcome hard times and achieved the ultimate goal.
The end of the 2006-07 season saw Memphis trounced in the Elite Eight by the Greg Oden-led Ohio State Buckeyes. Yet as bad as the 92-76 defeat looked on paper, there were signs pointing to a potentially historic year heading into next season.
Four starters from that Elite Eight team — Robert Dozier, Joey Osey, Allen Anderson and Chris Douglas-Roberts — were returning to the Tigers, and the third-highest ranked recruitment in the nation, point guard Derrick Rose, chose to attend Memphis that year.
The Tigers were on the cusp of becoming a top program under coach John Calipari and expectations reached a crescendo as the 2007—08 season neared.
"That was one of those rare years where you knew going in that that was a team that was Final Four or bust," said Dan Wolken, who at the time covered the Tigers for the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Now a National College Football writer for USA TODAY, Wolken remembers the hype going into that season with ease.
"For Memphis there was no question," Wolken said. "From the day the season ended the year before in the Elite Eight game, they knew they were probably going to get back unless something went badly wrong."
With as prolific a lineup as the Tigers boasted heading into the season, there were few qualms with Memphis' team. When the preseason polls were released in November, the Tigers were ranked third behind North Carolina and UCLA — Kansas followed behind in fourth.
By week five, UCLA dropped to seven and Memphis moved up to second. On January, 21 the Tigers were ranked No. 1 with Kansas sitting at No. 2.
The gap widened as Memphis came up with convincing wins. In non-conference play, the Tigers knocked off Blake Griffin's Oklahoma Sooners and Connecticut in the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament at Madison Square Garden. A few weeks later they returned to New York and took down USC.
Memphis handled No. 5 Georgetown at home and No. 17 Arizona five days later. The Tigers wouldn't lose a game until No. 2 Tennessee came to Memphis in late February and knocked off the kings of college basketball.
The 66-62 loss to the Volunteers was the first time the Tigers looked truly vulnerable.
"They really only played three big men," Wolken said. "They had a
32
in-state rival. People start questioning if the team is really as good as some thought."
wemphis, UCLA, North Carolina and Kansas were the big dogs in college basketball", Wolken recalled. "There was a gap between those four teams and everybody else".
"Everybody knew that year that
But Tigers were still good enough to claim the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and earned a No.1 seed for the NCAA Tournament.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Once the tournament got underway the doubts began creeping up again, even as Memphis rolled its way to a Final Four match-up with Ben Howland's UCLA Bruins.
Then sophomore guard Sherron Collins and then junior guard Mario Chalmers knock the ball out of the hands of Memphis' Derrick Rose late in the second half. Key defensive stops and steals and missed Memphis free throws allowed the Jayhawks to get back into the game.
"A lot of people thought Howland would out-coach Calipari," Wolken said. "In hindsight the funny thing is you look back at the rosters of those two teams and the narrative going into the Final Four was all this Memphis talent against Ben Howland's coaching."
As it turned out, Derrick Rose was the only one of those Memphis Tigers to maintain a NBA career, while Bruins Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Darren Collison and Lu Richard
"The minute it left his hand you kind of knew that it had a good chance to go in. Just perfect rotation, perfect arc, there are some times you just know. At that point you knew history was changing right there."
DAN WOLKEN
USA TODAY reporter
And people in Memphis were following the Jayhawks. It was hard not to. Kansas had been right behind the Tigers in the polls for most of the season. They were the last two unbeaten teams in the top 25 and once Memphis joined the ranks as another beatable college basketball team, more doubts began to emerge for its title hopes.
couple other guys but that was the one thing. What if foul trouble occurred to one of their big guys? How were they going to play? Would they have enough size against a team like Kansas?"
"They got to the Tennessee game and it was just a horribly played game," Wolken said. "Too much hype, too much emotion. It was a big watershed moment of the season because obviously you're losing to your
Regardless, the Tigers handled UCLA, 78-63, setting up a National Championship showdown with one of the teams that had worried Memphis fans from the start.
Mbah a Moute went on to stardom in the league.
The Tiger faithful knew about Kansas' loaded front court. They knew Kansas' guard play was as good as any in the nation. They knew the Jayhawks were a team laden with NBA talent.
They weren't aware just how long two minutes and nine seconds could be. They weren't aware that Mario Chalmers had come up clutch time and time again. They would know soon enough.
"Really I will forever say in that game Memphis was not the better team but Derrick Rose played a
second half that was one of the alltime great halves in a championship game," Wolken said.
But then a few funny things started happening with Memphis up by nine and time winding down.
"Darrell Arthur makes a seventen-foot jumper," Wolken remembers. "Antonio Anderson throws an in-bounds pass into the corner, Derrick Rose has a hard time handling it and flips it back to Sherron Collins for three. All the sudden the lead goes from nine to four and you're saying 'Uh-oh, this is going to be a crazy finish."
The rest is forever cherished by Kansas fans and impossible to forget for those in Memphis. Everything that could have doomed the Tigers began, Joey Dorsey fouled out, Memphis was missing free throws and before anyone could fully comprehend what they were witnessing, Sherron Collins stormed up the court with ten seconds on the clock and Kansas
down by three points.
As he cut to his right, he began to stumble yet was able to dish the ball off to Mario Chalmers. With 3.7 seconds left on the clock he got one good look and fired.
"The minute it left his hand you kind of knew that it had a good chance to go in," Wolken said. "Just perfect rotation, perfect arc, there are sometimes you just know. At that point you knew history was changing right there."
it was real fast, you thought that maybe they were going to foul there," Wolken said. "Things just moved so quickly that it's just like 'Oh my god, what just happened?'
As overtime became a reality, Wolken, along with many Tigers fans, knew the window for the school's first national title was as good as gone.
Memphis was exhausted, Rose had played the entire game and the Tigers bench was in shock. They didn't stand a chance in the extra frame. Back in
the city of Memphis, they began trying to figure out why.
"There was a lot of second-guessing about the way the game ended," Wolken said. "To lose in that fashion was pretty crushing. I know people who will never watch a replay of that game for the rest of their lives.
"And of course that shot, any time CBS plays their NCAA tournament credits, that shot is what you see. It's hard to avoid." Wolken said.
As Wolken puts it, the 2007-08 season is one that's not likely to be repeated anytime soon. The combination of Derrick Rose and a veteran team is a formula most coaches dream about.
Most Memphis fans still do.
"Obviously people move onto a new season," Wolken said. "But it's not something you get over."

As Kansas basketball continues to follow the mantra of "reloading, not rebuilding" the lajayhaws have laid the foundation for what could be the best recruiting class in Bill Self's tenure at KU.
Point guard Conner Frankamp, small forward Brannen Greene, shooting guard Wayne Selden and center Joel Embid have all committed to Kansas, and each is rated as a four-star prospect by Rivals.com.
At 6 feet 9 inches and 225 pounds, Randle is ranked as the second best player in the nation first in his position—and has been sought after by many of the top collegiate programs in the nation.
Florida, Kentucky, Texas, Duke and Kansas are among those who have extended offers to the Plano.
Yet with room to add a few more names to the roster, the Jayhawks have their eyes set on a few other top-ranked recruits, namely five-star power forward Julius Randle, who is due to visit Lawrence on Saturday.
Frankamp
Texas native, yet he has only scheduled visits to Florida, Kentucky, N.C. State, and Kansas. A trip to NC. State, however, is expected.
ESPN regards Randle as a pro in the making who can attack the elass and drive it from mid-range.
Simply put, if Self can bring the big man to Lawrence, any question marks remaining about his recruiting ability should vanish for quite some time.

A look into the future: Who could be the next legend?
BLAKE SCHUSTER

In order to qualify for a rafter ceremony, candidates must meet a certain criteria:
With Mario Chalmer set to become the 28th Jayhawk to have his jersey retired, the Kansan takes a look at who could be the next to join the exclusive club.
Players must be named College Player of the Year, Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA tournament, a consensus firstteam All-America selection, two-time firstteam All-America selections, and Academic All-American of the Year.
Players can only be brought up for consideration five years after they have left the program.
THE CANDIDATES:
(IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)
A 2010 consensus first-team All-American, Collins may very well be the next Jayhawk to see his number hung in Allen Fieldhouse. Aside from his 2008 National Championship, Collins is seventh all-time in Kansas history for made field goals (656), fifth in points scored (1,888) and eighth in assists (552). Throw in
4 SHERRON COLLINS:
POINT GUARD, 2006-10
four Big 12 Championships and Collins' resume is as sound as any other name in the rafters. It's only a matter of time.
25 BRANDON RUSH
SMALL FORWARD, 2005-08
Another Jayhawk from the 2008 National Championship team, Rush's career deserves a look. While at Kansas, he garnered two All-American honorable mentions and was named to three Big 12 first teams (the first freshman to do so), Rush averaged 13.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game while shooting 47 percent. His five-year waiting period is over, but there might be a few names ahead of him.
45 COLE ALDRICH
CENTER, 2008-11
mention as a sophomore and won Academic All-American of the year in 2010.
Aldrich led the Jayhawks in field goal percentage in 2009 (59.4) and recorded Kansas' first official triple-double (13 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocked shots against Dayton) the same year. Ranks fifth in career double-doubles (37) and is now third all-time in blocks with 253. Aside from his National Championship, his career accolades help out his chances. He was named All-American honorable
O THOMAS ROBINSON
POWER FORWARD, 2009-12
There is no doubt that Thomas Robinson's number will be retired in Allen Fieldhouse. Never mind that he's one of the most beloved Jayhawks, his consensus first team All-American status makes him a lock. If that weren't enough, he recorded 32 double-doubles in just 42 starts and holds the Kansas record for double-doubles in a season (27) after averaging 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds as a junior.
5 JEFF WITHEY
CENTER, 2009-13
He doesn't have a worthy resume yet, but that may change very soon. Withey already has the all-time and single-season (140) blocks record at Kansas. Withey entered this season as an All-American honorable mention, but may very well end up on the first team by the end of the year. If he does, five years may be the only thing separating him from the rafters.

Over 200 University students gathered on Wescoe Beach Sunday to do the Harlem Shake. Tigger, hamsters, Jayhawk Superman, and teddy bears were just a few of the characters getting down in front of Strong Hall.
UNIVERSITY BUSTS A MOVE
DANON TAYLOR dtaylor@kansan.com
More than 200 students were spotted on Wescoe Beach yesterday enjoying the weather, cruising on skateboards, chalking the sidewalks, chatting away and wearing a variety of get-ups and costumes. They were all brought together by one common denominator, and when the beat dropped, synchronized dance chaos ensued.
The popular dance that possessed the KU men's basketball team just days ago also called
on all students of KU on Feb. 17 at 4 p.m., thanks to freshmen Alexander Delgado from Austin, Texas and Eric Bridgewater from Topeka, Kan.
What started out as 45 minutes of Harlem Shake YouTube watching in Delgado's residence hall quickly progressed into a Facebook event with over 1,200 invitations and 203 confirmed attendees. The event then spread onto Twitter and through text messages, and hundreds of people showed up to take part in the 1981-inspired dance.
"We just invited, like, 100 people
Moore, a freshman from Gardner, Kan. Moore was dressed as an infamous Hooters girl, while also sporting bunny ears.
While some students were dressed in casual attire, most were dressed in costumes, including Perry the Platypus, a milk carton, a redneck, Tigger, hamsters, Jayhawk Superman and teddy bears. However, the costume receiving the most attention was that of Max
and told them to invite all of their friends and so on. Facebook did its magic, and then we were at, like, 1,000 invites," Delgado said. "It could have been bigger, but for only four days planning, it was an awesome turnout. The location was great, and no cops showed up."
"The Harlem Shake is just so popular because everybody can get involved and it doesn't take any skills to wiggle around and gyrate." Moore said. "It took forever to get started, but it was rocking and was the best one by far. We had the most costumes and spirit in comparison to all other schools."

As any private resident, store owner or bar patron will vouch, Tennessee Street isn't an easy place to park on the weekends, or any day for that matter. With the help of the Environmental Protection Agency, the City of Lawrence will be taking steps to address the traffic congestion issue this April.
The Oread neighborhood between the main campus and
downtown Lawrence has long been home to traffic congestion, lack of parking availability, deteriorating sidewalks and biking difficulties. This is an outstanding challenge for senior Ryan Carney, a marketing major from Chicago, who has trouble parking in the area when he visits his girlfriend's house on the 1200 block of Tennessee Street.
"If you go in the afternoon on any day really, it's tough to find a parking spot," Carney said. "You have to pick and choose when you
Out of 121 cities who applied the EPA selected 23 communities to receive technical assistance through its Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program. Lawrence will be receiving a parking audit.

Orientation coordinators welcome 16 new assistants
EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com
Walking in the hallways between classes, on the bus, even just sitting in the Union for 20 minutes, it seems like the faces in the sea of people are always changing at the University of Kansas.
For incoming freshmen that are excitedly waiting to join these crowds and become these faces, there's a little bit of nervousness about how to navigate their new future home.
This is where orientation assistants step in. There are 16 new "faces of KU" that will take over and conduct new student orientation this summer.
The names were announced earlier this month after a long and intensive application and interview process. These students will work alongside their orientation coordinators, the student Hawk Link Guides and Peer Advisors to welcome incoming students and their parents to the University, and assist them with any questions they have.
Natalie Scott, an orientation coordinator from Topeka, said the University looks for a wide variety of students for the position, and that it's all about building a cohesive team.
"It doesn't have to be the most involved student, or a student with a perfect GPA either," she said. "It's
"Patrick [Blanchard] was great and he felt like the first real friend I made on campus. I knew I wanted to be an OA to further my knowledge about KU," she said. "Over the past two years my interest has developed further into more of a desire to be part of this pivotal experience in new student's lives."
really about being involved in different parts of the University and having different experiences."
"Orientation is a time when a lot of information is coming the students' way, and having a calm, clear leader is invaluable," she said. "I hope that the students I come into contact with feel like they have made their first friend at KU after leaving our session."
Karr said she and Blanchard still communicate, and he was a resource for her to get advice about the application process.
Kailee Karr, a sophomore from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said her desire to become an orientation assistant stemmed from her personal orientation experience and the connection she had with her OA.
With the title also comes the responsibility, and the lives of the new OAs are about to get a little bit busier. Starting in March, they will meet once a week for more introductory sessions. The day after graduation, that training turns into 40 hours a week for two weeks, where they will learn about academic requirements
"The thing I'm most excited about for being an OA is the opportunity it provides to be around like-minded people who have a similar passion for creating a great environment for new students," Karr said. "I can't wait to brainstorm and work with fellow OAs and staff to come up with ideas that will generate an even better atmosphere for growth and diversity among new students."
"They're kind of a sponge for that two weeks, they can just soak up that knowledge. Then, when new students come in, depending on what they're working with, they'll be prepared," said Jessica Penca, a graduate assistant in the Office of the First Year Experience.
and different campus resources.
Leah Swartz, a junior from Santa Monica, Calif., said she believes spending time with her new coworkers will be rewarding.
"I've heard that this job is like a family," she said. "I'm really excited to build those new relationships and to kind of branch out of my own social network and meet new people and create this family."
Conner Hampton, a freshman from Holton, echoes Swartz's belief.

Conference stirs self motivation
for becoming better leaders and working toward their goals.
Students from varying interests and activities came together at the Blueprints Leadership Conference on Saturday to hear new ideas and methods
The event was headed by co-directors Kathryn Hoven, a senior from Chester, N.J.,
"We want them to find what's really important to them as a student, to find what they care about."
and Brandon Rogers, a senior from Plano, Texas. About 150 students signed up to attend the free conference.
"This program is open to all students; undergraduate, graduate, and we even had a few that were fifty or sixty years old," Rogers said. "Whether they're already in student organizations or looking to get involved, we wanted everyone to take away the message of our theme, which was to make KU teachable, manageable and navigable."
"We're trying to remind everyone that taking advantage of every opportunity is always a good thing." Hoven said. "You

"Passion was kind of our overarching theme. We asked 'what is it that you love?' and then tried to help students figure out how to incorporate that into everything they do," Hoven said. "We want them to find what's really important to them as a student, to find what they care about, and to teach them to able to put that into action."

The two undergraduate black box plays, "The Zoo Story" and "The American Dream" (both by
"We have free reign to direct a one act of our choosing. The show is designed to accent the director's work so there is minimal set, costuming
and designing," said Jacci Lufkin, a senior from Melbourne, Fla, who is directing "The American Dream."
"The plays were written in 1959/1960 and speak to the constraints of society in that time, which I believe to transcend to today." Luffin said.
Brian Buntin, a junior from Paola, is directing "The Zoo Story."
"There is a lot that goes into directing a play, but we only had three weeks. Whatever we decided to do, we had to do quickly."
"As a director, I create the show that the audience sees," Buntin said. "During the rehearsal process the actors and I would work for about two and a half hours a night on blocking, acting and understanding the show itself."
Both Lufkin and Buntin had

and Bunker had to apply to be directors and were selected by the University.
"Minus the lighting, which was done by one of the professors, I personally worked on every other piece of the production, including the costumes," Buntin said.
Both directors and cast were expected to have a full-scale production of the two plays by the end of three weeks.
"There is a lot that goes into directing a play, but we only had three weeks. Whatever we decided to do, we had to do quickly," Lukkin said. "As a student director,
I'm expected to be multiple steps ahead of the production and always looking for chances to learn and improve."
Jordan Partin, a senior from Garden City, plays Mrs. Barker in "The American Dream," and says that working only with students is a good learning experience.
"The cool thing about getting to work with a student director is that we are all kind of on the same playing field. Odds are that we are at similar points in our training and therefore there is a lot of room for experimenting." Partin said.
Luffkin, Buntin and Partin are all pleased with the progress of the productions.
"There has been a real sense of teamwork with this show. We work together to understand the script and to discover the characters." Partin said.
The remaining show times are Feb. 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the William Inge Theater inside Murphy Hall. Tickets are $15 for the public, $14 for senior citizens, KU faculty and staff, and $10 for students.

While Swartz hopes to be a resource for out-of-state students like herself, Hampton said he thinks he will bring a youthful and fun approach to his job, and hopes others can have a similar experience as he did at orientation.
"When I was looking for a college I was completely torn for where I wanted to go, but after coming to KU's orientation the decision became clear to me," he said. "I would like to provide that experience for others as well and get them integrated in KU tradition and community."
Karr hopes to promote cultural
"I believe that my studies and experiences in world culture are going to be helpful," she said. "As a new student, one of the most shocking aspects of attending a large university can be the differentiating world views. I hook to promote a culture of acceptance and growth, and understanding how other cultures work will be a great advantage for this."

ing a holistic approach to the needs of the stakeholders"
The Building Blocks program will work to identify parking solutions to traffic congestion and lack of parking availability, improve the walkability of the area by exploring public transportation options and encourage bicycling by making the area more biker-friendly. Ultimately, these solutions would not only address overcrowding in the Oread neighborhood but also reduce emissions.
Previous communities that have received assistance from the Building Blocks tools have experienced quick turnarounds. Once the data from the parking audit is ready for discussion at an April 17 workshop, Rawls and Kris Lancaster, from the EPA's Office of Public Affairs, expect only a few weeks before the city will be ready to take the next step.
City planners are conducting an audit to identify the parking needs of the neighborhood, paying specific attention to what times parking demands are heaviest.
Where exactly that next step will lead the city is yet unclear, but the EPA is committed to finding a solution that will solve the
Lancaster encourages members of the Lawrence community, including KU students, to attend a meeting open to the public to discuss their specific needs on April 17 in a location to be determined.
"A lot of people think to solve the parking issue, build more parking garages, but that's not the solution of this Building Blocks tool," Rawls said. "It's improving the walkability of the neighborhood as a whole -- exploring the alternate public transportation."
problem in both an effective and efficient fashion.
The city will be looking to identify alternative solutions, such as reconsidering bus routes, addressing the deteriorating sidewalks and increasing bike lanes, to make the area friendlier to pedestrians and bikers. These solutions, Rawls said, aim to improve air quality in downtown areas.
"We want to engage as many people as we can -- neighborhood groups, residential property owners, business owners, students and KU faculty," Lancaster said.
"The end goal that is our interest is reduction of emissions, which is a key part of what the EPA believes in," Rawls said.

HUMAN RIGHTS
Whenever I come home I always clean out my family's pantry. Yumm! Foooood!
Visitation rights are not a privilege
I'm not going to be the guy who convinces you that homosexuality is perfectly natural. I still sometimes use the words "gay" and "lame" interchangeably. I wince when I see two men kiss. I hate that I still have some homophobic tendencies, but it still just seems so weird to me.
And then I get to thinking about love and rights, I think about my times in medical treatment and how much it means to me to have my girlfriend there and then I simply can't imagine how anyone would try to take those rights away.
I told my girlfriend Liz about my immune deficiency and my blood infusion treatments the day after our very first date. I don't know why. I wasn't in the habit of telling people back then. I didn't tell my close friends, I didn't tell my teammates and I sure as hell didn't tell thousands of newspaper readers every week. My
health was my business, and if I couldn't fight it on my own, then I didn't deserve to be OK. But Liz had the most beautiful, warm smile and she held my hand like I was someone to be cared for.
After just one date, I told her the truth; that the only thing keeping me out of the hospital again was a weekly dose of someone else's immunoglobulins. I wanted her to know up-front what a pathetic, disease-addled misfit I was, and give her the chance to run off.
She didn't.
By Will Webber
wwebber@kansan.com
Instead, she visited me for my very next treatment. I had never let anyone see me so vulnerable. Hooked up to IV's with baseball-sized welts on my back and stomach, I felt like something less than human. But Liz brought me candy and watched TV with me until my two-hour treatment came to a close. With her by my side, I knew no pain.
She's been by my side for over a year now; a year where I've had
over 200 needles go into my body and spent over 100 hours in infusion therapy. Liz was there when my two-hour treatments turned into five-hour treatments. And in spite of it all, I wouldn't trade a single one of those hours to be anywhere else, because with Liz by my side, even the eerily sterile, fluorescent-lit clinic seemed like the right place to be.
We all deserve to have someone like her in our lives, regardless of gender. Someone who still calls you handsome when your eyes get puffy and there's a bloodstain on your forearm. Someone who doesn't believe
you when you say you're feeling fine. Someone who treats you like a human, not a patient. We all deserve to be treated like humans, regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender, and especially when we are at our most vulnerable.
It was a sign of progress for humanity when President Obama mandated equal visitation rights back in 2010. But those rights continue to come under attack every day. Even during the 2012 election, Governor Romney claimed that the ability to be there for your loved one in a time of dire need is a privilege, not a right. These battles for basic human needs will not be met until we have equality across the board, from the operating room to the chapel.
I complain a lot, but I know how lucky I am. My five-hour infusion treatments could just as easily be five-hour chemotherapy treatments. I have the full support
of my family and I have a girl who makes me happy in my lowest times. I simply can't imagine being separated from my loved ones in a life-or-death situation because they aren't considered a traditional family. Because death doesn't discriminate. And neither does love. So why should we? Why should I still be homophobic? I can relate so easily to others' pain, other's struggles. I can write about them for days, but I can't find the words to describe how much I care about my loved one. If I ever did, I wouldn't write another sentence. Love can't be boiled down to words on a page, or on a marriage license or a legislative bill. It's for everyone.

CAMPUS
KUID lottery for bus rides would solve crowding issue
Survival of the fittest is a well known phrase, but to be honest, I never thought it would apply to getting on a bus.
There I was, standing outside Lippincott hall, shirling like wheat in a blizzard, waiting for the most cutthroat bus on campus: 43 Red.
Kansas was having one of its temper tantrums, below zero days of intense cold and ferocious wind, and my hands and face were entirely exposed to the weather. More than anything I wanted to put my hands in my pocket, but as they were holding two large bins full of cookies, this was not possible.
By Anna Wenner
awenner@kansan.com
The bus was right on time, and for just a moment I was excited. Then I saw it: the freshmen swarm. Coming from GSP and Corbin, the bus was entirely packed with students, and the looks I was getting from the riders were much colder than the weather outside. Before I even tried to board the bus I could tell they wanted me to understand that none of them were going to move for me.
But I tried anyway, because it was either that or walk to Numemaker for my class. It took nearly five minutes for the bus driver to coax the hardened students into shuffling back a few steps to allow me and two other passengers to enter, and even then we were given only a tiny patch of floor on which to stand
Somehow, I made it to Nunemaker without dropping my cookies. It was certainly no thanks to the bus riders, who made a mass exodus at the next stop a building away from the stop where I had entered. Sure, they could have gotten off one stop sooner so that the other
cold, would-be passengers at my stop could have boarded, but instead they rode the extra thirty feet simply because no one could make them walk.
This enlightening incident got me to thinking that while I got on the bus that day, there really ought to be a system for deciding which people get to ride the bus in days of bad weather. I mean, sure, it's possible people could be polite and exit a stop sooner if they see the bus is full. It's also conceivable that students could pack the bus more quickly and without complaint, but if that day was any indication, change isn't going to happen on its own. Changing a habitual behavior like this takes extreme measures, and I think I have just the right solution. It is because of this that I propose the first-ever, 43 Red Bus lottery.
track of which KU students were on the bus so that when the time for the lottery came, all would be prepared.
Now this lottery wouldn't be the kind of game where the selected student receives money. Instead, the lottery winner would be subjected to a modern day, Shirley Jackson style lottery (for those who don't know, Shirley Jackson is the author of "The Lottery", which features a town's deadly adherence to tradition).
The method would be simple. Whenever students boarded or exited the bus they would scan their KU ID card where they normally would have as a paying rider. Rather than record payment, this system would keep
When the bus is not crowded all would work as normal from here, but in those cases where there is simply not enough room for all of the passenger-hopefuls, the lottery would determine who would be allowed to ride. For however many students are at the next stop, that many students would be kicked off of the bus lottery style. So for instance, if there were three students at Lippincott Hall waiting for the bus, but the bus is full when it pulls up, the computer would randomly select three current riders to be kicked off so the new riders could enter. This way students are not forced to make a selfless choice by giving up their spot for another rider. They are simply forced to get off.
And if a student refuses to leave the bus? This is the modern world, so naturally we aren't going to use "The Lottery" tradition of stoning them to death. It's rude, and last I checked, highly illegal. Instead, we shall take crumpled up issues of Kansan and toss them at the chosen student until they exit the bus. The student will naturally pick up the mess as they leave — by then they'll have learned to be considerate towards their fellow students. Most important, by then they will realize that anyone could be that person stuck at Lippincott Hall with their hands full of cookie bins.

RELATIONSHIP
Students benefit from rebounds
I met the guy I would later secretly consider my go-to rebound just weeks after moving to Lawrence for my freshman year in 2008. Chris (name has been changed) was the perfect guy for the job too: tall, dark, handsome and perpetually single. We started seeing each other after I unapologetically ties with a sub-par fling, and with that, the dynamic between us shifted from platinic to flirty.
A rebound relationship (or sex, etc.) is characterized by entering one relationship shortly after breaking one off with the partner before. Traditionally rebound relationships are considered unhealthy and constructs in which people use one another, but despite their criticisms, research from the University of Toronto has found that rebounds can actually do a person good.
After a week of losses devastating to any loyal Kansas basketball fan, the team's impressive finish last Monday night became a win for the record books with the Jayhawks out-rebounding the Wildcats 41-23. But even outside the walls of Allen Fieldhouse, every year students all across campus experience a little rebounding for themselves as well.
We saw each other briefly, but I extinguished our bond only a few weeks in then started seeing a new guy the next month, which promptly became serious. My rebound and I kept in touch and hung out occasionally, and when my boyfriend became overbearing and controlling toward the end of our relationship - forbidding me from even going to a party my rebound invited me to - Chris was the first guy I went out with following my impending breakup. And the rebound date and my newfound freedom were awesome.
Shortly after, Chris and I fizzled again, only to go out on another rebound date approximately a year later after another split with a guy I had been seeing for most of my sophomore year. Then, as you may be able to guess by now, we cut ties again, and I've only seen him once since.
Rebound opponents say that jumping into one kind of relationship shortly after another without first getting over one's ex is a recipe for disaster and is ultimately unfair to the new partner.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
However, according to Stephanie Spielmann of the University of Toronto, people who are "anxiously attached," or those who often seek self-worth in relationships (including those with romantic partners, friends and family), often benefit from rebounds because they help them finally detach from their former romances.
In fact, in a 2009 study she conducted, Spielmann concluded that rebound relationships enabled anxiously attached people to disrupt their longing for their ex-lovers when they believed that they could easily find a new partner. And while most of the population is not characterized as anxiously attached, a rebound relationship could be beneficial for many people anyway if they are so inclined because a rebound is a great opportunity to turn over a new leaf.
Finally, whether we tend to immediately put ourselves back out in the dating world or maintain a low profile for some time post-breakup, at least exploring the benefits of a rebound is a worthwhile cause, regardless of how much we as individuals rely on relationships to feel worthy.
We may determine that a rebound is indeed not the best course of action after nixing a previous relationship due to our personalities and how we choose to cope. But at least knowing that can help us deal with future breakups when they arise.
100
And in the end, knowing when to rebound and when to just take the bench can ultimately keep us playing the dating game as best as we can.

Victim appears on show two days after death
JOHANNESBURG — Reeva Steenkamp's last wish for her family before she was shot dead at boyfriend Oscar Pistorius' home was for them to watch her in a reality TV show that went on air in South Africa on Saturday night, two days after her killing.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The South African Broadcasting Corp. aired the "Tropika Island of Treasure" program, showing the late Steenkamp — the victim of a Valentine's Day shooting at the home of Pistorius, the Olympic star and double-ampute athlete. She is laughing and smiling, and blowing a kiss toward the camera in Jamaica when it was filmed last year.
Sharon Steenkamp, Reeva's cousin, told The Associated Press that the model and law graduate was "proud of being in the show" and reminded them in their last conversation to make sure that they watched it.
The country was rocked Thursday when news broke of Steenkamp's shooting death at the upscale house of the star athlete. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder and remains in custody in a police station. His family has strongly denied prosecutors' claims that he murdered her.
between images of a rose and a candle in a short tribute before the show aired. She was also seen blowing the kiss as she sat on a Jamaican beach and her name again appeared on screen with the years of her birth and death.
Steenkamp's family said earlier Saturday that it had not been contacted by either the SABC — South Africa's national broadcaster — or the show's producers for permission to air it, but were not opposed to it because Reeva wanted everyone to see it.
"Her last words to us personally were that she wants us to watch it," Sharon Steenkamp said, hours before the program was shown.
SABC aired the reality show on its main channel, which prominently featured Steenkamp.
The show's executive producer, Samantha Moon, said going ahead with the show "is what she would have wanted."

THURSTON
Newly discovered photographs, documents and family histories have inspired the creation of a tour about servants at The Elms, a mansion in Newport, R.I., which echoes themes of the British drama program, "Downton Abbey."

'Downton Abbey' sparks interest in servants of US mansions
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWPORT, R.I. — If the Crawley family of "Downton Abbey" were American, they'd summer at Newport.
The wild stateside success of the British period drama about post-Edwardian aristocrats and their live-in help has piqued interest in the life of servants in the Gilded Age mansions of the seaside city. The nation's wealthiest families built Newport "cottages" in the 19th and early 20th centuries and would move their households here —servants, silver and all — from New York and elsewhere in the summer to enjoy the ocean breezes and society scene.
Just as the Downtown servants develop relationships downstairs — think the frustrated love triangle of kitchen maids Daisy and Ivy with footman Alfred — servants in Newport carried on a lively social scene of their own. Many of their stories have begun to emerge after digging by researchers at the Newport Preservation Society, which owns several mansions. Newly discovered photographs, documents and family histories have inspired the creation of a tour about servants in one of Newport's most picturesque houses, The Elms, becoming one of the society's most popular tours.
SUDOKU
Meg A. Watt, a "Downton" fan from Stroudsburg, Pa., took the tour last spring, not long after it began. The owners' side of the house is opulent with marble and gold. It opens away, hidden behind doors, are plain hallways and rooms for use by the servants, she said.
"It gives you a completely different perspective," Watt said.
Many mansions have been open to the public for decades, but with a focus on the wealthy families who lived there. Newport's grandest mansion, The Breakers, in recent years incorporated some information about servant life in its audio tour. But the new guided tour at The Elms centers squarely on servants and allows visitors into rarely seen parts of the mansion, including servants' quarters, the kitchen and the massive boiler room, where coal would be brought in through a tunnel that goes under the garden wall.
The Crawley's own American grandmama, played by Shirley MacLaine, owns homes in New York and Newport. The city is even mentioned on the show from time to time, including by Lady Mary Crawley, who considers fleeing to America to wait out a scandal involving the death of a Turkish diplomat in her bed.
"I'm going to miss you all so much and I love you very, very much."

Portions released earlier Saturday of the reality show, sponsored by a milk fruit drink, feature Steenkamp laughing and smiling on the beaches of Jamaica. Another portion shows her swimming with two dolphins, which tap her on the cheek with their snouts.
Pistorius will appear in court Tuesday for a bail hearing, something police have said they oppose. Prosecutors also say they will pursue upgraded charges of premeditated murder against him, which means the disabled icon and double-amputee runner could face a life sentence.
blonde model who graduated from law school, died after suffering four gunshot wounds, police said. Officers recovered a 9-mm pistol from Pistorius' house and quickly charged the Olympian with murder for Steenkamp's killing.
"I think the way that you go out, not just your journey in life, but the way that you go out and the way you make your exit is so important," Steenkamp says in the video. "You either made an impact in a positive or a negative way, but just maintain integrity and maintain class and just remain true to yourself."

They end up staying at Downton Abbey. But if they had gone to Newport, they might have found a house much like The Elms.
Census records from 1895 show that around 10 percent of the population in Newport was domestic servants. Director of museum affairs at the mansions John Tschirch said staff would have "kitchen ratchets," parties in the kitchens of the different mansions, with food galore.

"That's where all the gossip was," he said. "You think of a social summer resort, the stories the servants could tell about each other, the people in town, the fashion."
Much of the information has come from servants' relatives who heard the Preservation Society wanted to hear from anyone who had lived or visited there, not just the owners. Tschirch said all kinds of family lore has surfaced, including a story about the cook, Mrs. Birch, whose finger was clawed by a lobster and had to be removed.

Charlie Sheen donates money for stranger's therapy dog
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE — Charlie Sheen wired $10,000 to 15-year-old Teagan Marti and her family on Thursday for a therapy dog to help in her rehabilitation from injuries sustained when she plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010.
"I think he's a very kind person for helping me and my family and very generous." Marti said by phone from her home in Parkland, Fla.
Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries in July 2010 when nets and air bags that catch riders on a free-fall ride failed to rise. She convinced her family to make the trip to Extreme World in Wisconsin Dells after seeing the ride, Terminal Velocity, on the Travel Channel.
She was hospitalized in Wisconsin and Florida for three months. She initially had no use of her arms or legs, but through physical therapy can walk again with the help of a walker.
Teagan Marti's mother, Julie Marti, said they are financially in trouble from the medical bills and insurance isn't covering physical therapy anymore. She had no idea how to pay for the English Golden Retriever puppy.
"I'm in such disbelief" her mother said. "I was crying. ... What a guy. What a guy"
The dog is trained to turn on lights, pick up objects and be the teen's constant companion.
Lucia Wilgus, of Eau Claire, Wisc., became friends with the Martis after hearing of the accident. She has spearheaded fundraising and helped find the dog.
She sent a letter to Sheen through Sheen's godfather, who is a Wilgus family friend. She estimated the training and related costs would be around $6,000.
Sheen said he decided to give more for extra costs. The request had a "personal vibe" since it came through his godfather, and "if there's a need for more, I told them to call me," he said.
"I like to pay it forward," Sheen said in a phone interview from Los Angeles.
He said he doesn't like to publicize most of his donations, but wanted to talk about this one to inspire others to donate.
Marti gets the dog on her birthday in September but hasn't made up her mind on a name.
"I think they should name the dog Charlie," Sheen joked.

An English golden retriever puppy sits with her litter in Fond du Lac, Wis. She will be trained to become a therapy dog for a teenager who was severely injured in a fall from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010. Actor Charlie Sheen said he's donating $10,000 for the dog's training and other expenses.

Melissa McCarthy plays an unlikely career criminal in "Identity Thief."
Melissa McCarthy falls into typecasting trap
Since her hilarious supporting turn in 2011's "Bridesmaids", Melissa McCarthy has become nearly inescapable.
The first time this fact really hit home for me was last December, during a screening of Judd Apatow's "This is 40," when the comedienne appeared as Catherine, a short-tempered parent who complains to the school principal after Debbie (Leslie Mann) makes an unfavorable comparison between Catherine's towedhead, buck-toothed son and musician Tom Petty. It's a throwaway part, with perhaps eight minutes of total screen time, but McCarthy uses those eight minutes to practically walk away with the movie, calling the attractive, affluent Debbie and her husband, Pete (Paul Rudd), a "bullsit bank commercial couple" andthreatening to kick them both in the throat for being ineffectual parents.
My enjoyment of that scene, and the even funnier mid-credits gag reel, was only diminished by the fact that I'd already seen McCarthy twice that same evening, in trailers for the now-released "Identity Thief", where McCarthy plays a chipper, foulmouthed criminal who steals Jason Bateman's credit card information, and director Paul Feig's "Bridesmaids" follow-up, "The Heat," where she plays a chipper, foulmouthed policewoman who teams up with Sandra Bullock, who plays a frazzled FBI agent. I understand she's also slated for a chipper, foulmouthed part in this May's "The Hangover: Part III". Having successfully defied expectations for a heavyset woman in a thin-centric industry, McCarthy musf now confront another Hollywood pit-fall: the double threat of becoming simultaneously typecast and overexposed.

lmcdonald@kansan.com
If this happens, she'll be in good company. Actors like Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Adam Sandler, Bruce Willis and Owen Wilson have all been accused of playing too many similar roles. Quick, how many movies can you name where Seth Rogen plays a loveable stoner or Denzel Washington calmly asserts himself as a professional badass? Some, like Mike Myers, wallow in their gravy train and gradually slide into irreleance. Others, like Jude Law and post-"Lincoln Lawyer" Matthew McConaughey, break free of weak material and obvious casting and go on to explore richer veins of character acting.
In the last few years, two dramatic actors have paved the way for avoiding viewer fatigue by turning in a wide array of diverse and compelling performances. After breaking into the mainstream with a small role in "Inglourious Basterds" and an incendiary turn as young Magneto in "X-Men: First Class," Michael Fassbender showcased his range as psychoanalyst Carl Jung in "A Dangerous Method," a tortured sex addict in "Shame" and a curious replicant in last summer's "Prometheus." Current Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain also believes in never repeating herself, having embodied idealized motherhood in "Tree of Life" only months before diving into "Zero Dark Thirty" and the mind of a CIA agent obsessed with
So, can McCarthy avoid falling into the exposure trap? Her comedy bona fides are impressive, and it's not as if she materialized out of nowhere. Before the success of "Bridesmaids," shed been quietly paying her dues for the better part of a decade on TV sitcoms like "Gilmore Girls" and the still-running "Mike & Molly." But it was her wacky, winsome performance as bridesmaid Megan that catapulted her into the national spotlight, earning her scores of adoring (and incredibly protective) fans. When New York Observer film critic Rex Reed published a review of "Identity Thief" describing McCarthy as "a female hippo" and "tractor-sized." McCarthy's online following descended to collectively tear him a well-deserved new one.
Reed's cruel and unprofessional comments aside, "Identity Thief" is a lazy, obnoxious belch of a movie that represents the exact sort of project McCarthy would do well to avoid, although it does allow her one scene where her character Diana opens up to Sandy (Bateman), explaining where she comes from and why she has chosen a life of crime.
In context, her tearful confession is completely out of sync with the rest of the film and contributes to its borderline nonsensical third act. The same scene works beautifully, however when viewed as a standalone piece, mostly because of McCarthy's worn-down vulnerability and her undeniable gift for improvisation. That's the Melissa McCarthy I paid to see, and I'd love to see more of her in the future.

Miss America making return to Atlantic City this year
ENTERTAINMENT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Miss America, Atlantic City's prodigal pageant, is coming home after a six-year fling in Las Vegas.
The pageant returns to where it started 93 years ago and where it was a fixture until 2006, when organizers moved to Nevada in hopes of attracting a younger TV audience.
"It was always my dream that this would return here," said Art McMaster, president and CEO of the Miss America organization. "We are back to the city where the Miss America pageant began, where the Miss America pageant
was raised, and where the Miss America pageant belongs."
Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson, said having Miss America anywhere but Atlantic City just felt wrong.
"Can anyone separate the Mummer's Parade from Philadelphia, or the Rose Bowl from Pasadena?" he asked. "Miss America is Atlantic City, and she's coming home."
New Jersey's lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, made the official announcement Thursday morning inside Boardwalk Hall, the historic arena in which the pageant will take place during yet undetermined dates in September.
Guadagno said no taxpayer money was part of the incentives offered to lure Miss America back to New Jersey. Liza Cartmell, president of the Atlantic City Alliance, said her casino-funded group is among those providing financial incentives, but would not say how much it might contribute.
Guadagno and Cartmell said the return of the pageant is expected to generate at least $30 million in economic activity for Atlantic City and the surrounding region. Cartmell said 6,000 to 7,000 people associated with the pageant will need hotel rooms, meals and other expenditures during their time in Atlantic City.

Kansas coach Bill Self talks to ESPN's Baskin Rose during a segment at College GameDay on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. Rose is one of three analysts on the College GameDay show. He is also a contributor to Grantland.com.
ESPN basketball analyst talks basketball and business
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
WHAT'S IT BEEN LIKE BEING ON GAMEDAY FOR YOU THIS YEAR?
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF IALEN ROSE.
ESPN basketball analyst lalen Rose took some time after the College Gameday taping on Saturday to talk with the Kansan about his many endeavors with the worldwide leader in sports.
"It's an exciting experience.
Being an alumnus of the University of Michigan, I still follow the game as much as the pros, so I was never removed. It's a great opportunity to work with lay, Digger and Rece to be in the gym. To hear the gym shoes squeak and get closer to the action and get to interact with the players. It is a terrific opportunity"
Monday through Friday is Numbers Never Lie, 2 p.m. eastern. On Numbers Never Lie I'm on there with Hugh Douglas and Michael Smith and then on NBA Countdown on with my childhood idol Magic Johnson, Michael Wilbon and Bill Simmons and that's been terrific.
It's a lot of hard work, a lot of time energy and passion. You got to be committed to it, but it's what I asked for. I'm fortunate in our society to work in my major, mass communications.
I do a podcast with Grantland,
com, which has been terrific. I'm also going to be an insider writer for ESPN.com as well once every couple of weeks. It's what I want to
do, I'm passionate about it and it's a lot of fun to stay current.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART
ABOUT WORKING FOR
GRANTLAND?
"My favorite part about the Grantland pieces is that I can wear a T-shirt and some shorts or whatever I want to wear and I can say whatever I want to say. Without any B-roll, without any filer, it's like Twitter in a 140 characters every time I say something.
TALK ABOUT THE PREPARATION
THAT YOU PUT IN FOR YOUR
WEEKLY COMMITMENTS.
"I look at it like this: In the NBA there are 30 teams. In the NCAA there's over 30 conferences so you really have to be on top of what's current and what's not and players and coaches and conferences. Who's leaving, who's staying. But the good thing is it's not like I talk basketball one day and then rocket science the other."
"I watched a lot of film. I've watched the last five games both of these teams have played. I'm really familiar about all the players and what they're going to do in close game situations. I'm looking for Kansas to do their trademark dribble handoff. It's just what I love to do and I'm excited about it."
DO YOU WATCH A LOT OF FILM TO PREPARE FOR GAMES?
PAGE 7
WHAT HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT BEN MCLEMORE FROM
WHAT YOU'VE SEEN?
"A very special talent, but the
key for that is even though we live in a one-and-done era, you look at the top teams in the country, there's only one that leads the team in scoring: Ben McLemore. I think he's going to be a terrific pro prospect, but all players have things to work on. I'm pretty sure the coaching staff wants to see him get down a little more on the defensive end. Take leadership and accountability on that end. This team still has what it takes to make a tournament run."
WHAT'S YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF MCLEMORE AS A PERSON AND A PLAYER?
"He's not only a productive college player. I think he really has what it takes to succeed at the next level. It's all about work ethic and improving and he has something a lot of young players don't have and that's a mid-range game. A lot of players shoot the three or finish over the top at the rim and to have a mid range game is a valued trait."
WHAT'S IT LIKE HAVING MICHIGAN BACK IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT?
"It means a lot when we win our first 20 and the last team to go undefeated. Not so much when you've lost three of our last four, but I'm really excited that Michigan basketball is back. I'm proud we have the best backcourt in the country with Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. Once we get Glen Robinson III involved and Mitch Mcgary involved, if that happens they'll be just fine."

Sluggish play lands Kansas in a disappointing finish

chybl@kansan.com
The Kansas women's golf team hadn't played in a golf tournament since the last week of October. In the jayhawks' 2013 debut at the Florida State University Match-Up Tournament in Tallahassee this weekend, it showed.
Kansas finished 10th in a 12-team field, only able to beat out UNC Greensboro and UNC Wilmington. The Jayhawks had only two finishers in the top half of the field, junior Meghan Potee and freshman Yupapun Kawipakorn. Poiteen completed T-18 with a three round average of 75. Kawipakorn finished strong the last two days of the tournament with a 74 and closing day 72, but neither of the efforts
"Meghan [Potee] had a great tournament finishing in the top 20; it was the best I have seen her hit the ball in a long time," Kansas coach Erin O'Neil-Miller said. "Mook [Kawpinakorn] bounced back after a tough first round and played solid her last two days."
Kansas finished the tournament at a +57 total, 44 strokes behind tournament winner University of Georgia.
were enough to lead Kansas to a respectable finish.
"It was a great event to be able to compete against some of the top teams in the country," O'Neil Miller said. "You could definitely tell we had not played in a tournament in quite some time. We missed quite a few shots, especially in the putting game."
The Jayhawks concluded the first day in 10th place and finished in the same place after tying for ninth with the University of Michigan at the close of the second day.
The layhawks did improve their team score each round, but that wasn't enough to satisfy O'Neil Miller.
"Looking at the results, we could have definitely finished higher than we did," Miller said. "We did improve each round, but we have the ability to play better. We regroup and get ready for the next tournament."
They have a week to regroup before they heads to Weston, Fla. to participate in the Sir Pizza Terrapin Challenge Feb. 25 and 26.

Jayhawks win in a challenging road trip
TYLER CONOVER

Traveling to South Carolina on business, the Kansas tennis team did some good work over the weekend. The Jayhawks flew east to take on No. 67 College of Charleston and Charleston Southern. The team departed with a 2-1 record and returned home at 3-2.
Kansas got back to its winning ways early Friday against Charleston Southern. The Jayhawks won all three of the doubles matches against the Buccaneers.
Going into the weekend, Kansas was not sure if its No. 1 singles player, Haley Fournier, would be able to play. However, when the time came, she was willing and able. Her only loss on the weekend came in singles play against College of Charleston's Christin Newman (7-5, 6-2). Fournier and freshman Anastasija Trubica were 2-0 in doubles play.
Even though Kansas only managed one win on its trip, coach Amy Hall-Holt is optimistic about her team. She doesn't like losing, but is pleased with how hard her team is fighting to be in a winning position down the stretch of matches.
tunately for Kansas, the Cougars feasted on the Jayhawks taking four of the six matches.
Edited by Kaitlyn Klein
The two singles victories were notched by Paulina Los and Trubica. Saturday was the fourth match this season in which Los didn't lose. She has won her both her singles and doubles matches in every outing save, at the time No. 23 Tulsa.
Singles play was a major bright spot on Friday as the Jayhawks won five of the six matches. The sole loss came from freshman Maria Jose Cardona in a close match to Marketa Placha (6-2, 4-6, 1-0 (10-6). A tough loss for Cardona, but her and Dylan Windom have worked together nicely in doubles. The duo is 3-1 with one match unfinished, due to insufficient points against College of Charleston 4-5, so far this spring.
Saturday marked an opportunity for the Jayhawks as they played No. 67 College of Charleston. The Jayhawks had not beaten an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) ranked team in dual play competition since 2011, and after suffering a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Cougars the drought continues. Kansas won two of the three doubles matches, but then a sticky wicket pinned Kansas into singles play against the Cougars and, unfor-

THE MORNING BREW The Kansan's midseason NBA awards
As evidenced by the litany of NBA players at the Kansas victory over Texas, the NBA has reached its All-Star weekend. This is exciting to NBA players for two reasons. First, they get time off to spend with their families and take a much-needed rest. Second and more importantly, journalists release their coveted midseason awards. Without further ado, here are the University Daily Kansan NBA Midseason Awards.
Most Valuable Player:
LeBron James, Miami Heat
Who else could win this award? James has the luxury of being surrounded by immense talent, but that does not discount that his statistics have been unreal. Through six consecutive games, James scored more than 30 points and

shot more than 60 percent from the field. These kind of numbers elevate him to a level few have reached before. His efficiency is off the charts, and he is developing a 3-pointer. This is very bad news for other teams that do not want to see the Heat repeat.
Rookie of the Year:
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
PARKER
Coach of the Year:
would translate from tiny Weber State University to the NBA, but his 18.3 points and 6.5 assists per game dispelled any of those notions. Lillard has the quickness to get around defenders and the toughness to finish in traffic, and he will only get better.
Lillard
Coach on the rear:
Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs
Gregg Popovich
Gregg Popovich marched into Miami without 'Tony Parker, Manu Ginobell and Tunc Duncan played the Heat to within five points, and angered NBA overlord David Stern in the process. These facts alone should
Popovich

win him Coach of the Year. However, it's the fact that Popovich could start the cast from "The Big Bang Theory" and have them competing that solidifies his spot here. Every year, experts think the Spurs are going to regress, and every year, Popovich has them moving forward.
Surprise Team:
Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose is so fast, if he were in the Looney Tunes, wed all be enjoying a nice Roadrunner buffet right now. And somehow, the Bulls have managed to go 30-22 without him, good for fifth in the Eastern Conference. This year was seen as a lost year without Rose, but if he can make
KU
it back for the playoffs, the Bulls will be a very tough matchup for the elite teams. If he doesn't, the Bulls can be proud that they overachieved this year and can come back even stronger next year.
Most Disappointing Team:
Los Angeles Lakers
If I wrote about any team other than the Lakers, I would be demoted to covering the pickup basketball games behind McCollum Hall. The Lakers have been nothing but a disaster this season. If Karl Rove and Paris Hilton went out on a date, they would have more chemistry within five minutes than the Lakers have had all season. This was the team that was expected to challenge the Miami Heat for a title, but instead, they look more and more like a lottery team every day.

President Barack Obama watches the ball after making a putt on the ninth green during his golf match at Mid-Pacific County Club in Kaillua, Hawaii in 2009. Obama played golf Sunday with Tiger Woods, the White House said Sunday.
Obama, Tiger Woods play a Sunday round in Florida
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM CITY, Fla. — President Barack Obama played golf Sunday with Tiger Woods, the White House said.
Once the sports dominant player before his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods joined Obama at the Floridian, a secluded and exclusive yacht and golf club on Florida's Treasure Coast where Obama is spending the long Presidents Day weekend. The two had met before, but Sunday was the first time they played together.
The White House, which has promised to be the most open and transparent in history, prohibited any media coverage of Obama's golf outing.
the foursome also included Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who owns the Floridian and baseball's Houston Astros, and outgoing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a former mayor of Dallas, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
Obama, an avid golfer, also received some instruction Saturday and played a few holes with Butch Harmon, Woods' former swing coach.
Initial word that the First Duffer would play a round with the world's No. 2 player didn't come from the White House, but instead came from veteran golf journalist Tim Rosaforte, who announced it on Twitter. Rosaforte's late-morning tweet said;
"The president is arriving at the Floridian range. Awaiting is Tiger Woods and club owner Jim Crane. Historic day in golf. Their first round."
WhiteHouse confirmation of Woods' participation came about two hours later, following multiple appeals from traveling White House re
White House reporters.
"Historic day in golf. Their first round."
Golf Digest reported on its website that Obama spent eight hours Saturday with Harmon, playing 27 holes and hitting balls in Harmon's studio, and then managed to coordinate Sunday's round with Woods. The report said the original plan called for Obama and Woods, a Florida resident, to play at Woods' home club — The Medalist Golf Club, a half-hour away in Hobe Sound. But they eventually opted for the Floridian.
Woods departed after the first 18 holes, with Obama staying on to play another nine, the report said.
It seems Obama and Woods — the first black men at the top of their respective fields — have spent the past few years inching
"Just to see the interaction between the two on the range was pretty neat," Harmon told Golf Digest. "The President said to Tiger: 'The last tournament you played was fun to watch. It's good to see you play well again.' You could tell he meant it. It just wasn't a throw it out compliment."
toward Sunday's meeting on the fairway.
TIM ROSAFORTE Golf journalist
They met in January 2009, during Obama's inauguration in Washington. Three months later, in April,
Woods' personal life imploded later in 2009 after revelations that he had engaged in multiple extramarital affairs, leading to divorce. He followed with a public apology and announced he was taking an indefinite break from golf. Shortly after Woods announced he was coming out of seclusion, Obama said in an interview with Fox News Channel that Woods will still be a "terrific" golfer despite his personal issues.
Woods visited the White House and Obama received him in the Oval Office.
After returning to the sport, Woods went two years without winning, but his game is back on track and he currently is ranked No. 2 in the world. Woods won the last tournament he played, three weeks ago in San Diego.

Strong pitching key to weekend wins
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
Kansas coach Ritch Price knows the power of solid weekend pitching, the kind with an edge that shows itself in every at-bat against Big 12-caliber lineups.
"It's definitely the strength of our team," Price said. "We have good starting pitching and on top of that we're really solid in the bullpen. One great thing about pitching is it comes to the ballpark every day. Some days you aren't gonna hit, but if you pitch everyday you're going to have a chance to win."
That pitching edge was apparent again in game three of the Jayhawks' weekend series against the Nevada Wolf Pack in Mesa, Ariz. In a 6-3 victory, Kansas pitches gave up two earned runs on 12 hits, a credit to both pitching and defense.
Down 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Jayhawks again manufactured a solid offensive inning. The Jayhawks' three-run burst started as Dakota Smith scored on a sac fly from Kaiana Eldredge. Kevin Kuntz then hit an RBI single scoring Michael Suiter, and Jordan Dreiling singled to right field to score Jacob Boylan and cap the Jayhawks' scoring.
"I think it's just everyone not wanting to give up an at bat," said senior third-baseman Jordan Dreiling. "No one wants to give up an at-bat. Especially, with runners in scoring position. You really step in the box wanting to get the job done. So far it's working out for us."
Kansas is making its offensive living with this station-to-station approach to the plate. The Jayhawks struck out once in Sunday's game, leaving four runners on base.
"It's always nice to back up starting pitching like we did," Drelling said. "We gave them that extra fight late in the games. When Wes goes out and pitches as well as he did, it's on us hitters to go out and finish the job."
The Kansas bullpen also played a large role in finishing the job.
After entering in the final two innings, junior relief pitcher Jordan Picech'ed the game and earned the win for the Jayhawks, giving up three hits and recording two strikeouts.
"He's special," Price said. "That's the role we see him in. We aren't gonna use him as just a one-inning close guy like they do in the Major League level. We're going to bring him in the seventh and eighth innings and let him close out games
and use Kahana the next day."
Over the weekend. The Jayhawks' defensive progression appeared obvious in the comeback victories of games one and three. The defensive intensity of coach Price's team doesn't surprise many within the program.
“As a team, we’ve prepared as well as we could,” Dreiling said. “Going to the Dominican, we’ve got as many reps as we can and I think everyone is keeping up their work ethic and it’s paying off.”
Price echoed Dreilling's sentiment.
"The comebacks really show the progress that our young hitters have made from a year ago." Price said. "The come-from-behind win was something we didn't really do a year ago. I think it shows the progress of the team as a whole."
The Jayhawks' senior starting pitcher Tanner Poppe takes the mound in game four with the opportunity to secure a 3-1 series win over the Wolf Pack. First pitch is Monday at 1 p.m. from Hohokam Ballpark in Mesa, Ariz.

Despite inconsistency, Kansas racks up three victories at Tiger Invitational
JOSEPH DAUGHERTY
tgraff@kansan.com
Strong offensive play lifted the Jayhawks to a 3-1 record at the Tiger Invitational.
The Jayhawks are 7-2 on the season after the invitational this weekend. Kansas rolled to victories against Indiana State and the University of Tennessee Chattanooga on Friday. They beat Indiana State 8-0 and Tennessee Chattanooga 6-1. The Jayhawks used key hits and six combined errors from their opponents to float through the first day of the tournament unscathed.
The second day of the tournament proved to be more difficult for the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks fell to Auburn 8-5. The Jayhawks came out strong against Auburn and held the lead for most of the game before Auburn erupted for a five-run sixth inning and held the lead the rest of the game.
Kansas coach Megan Smith said the team came out strong but let up, and a good team like Auburn will take advantage of that. Smith said the Jayhawks can not take innings off against a team like Auburn, or
they will lose.
The Jayhawks rebounded against Bryan University in a big way by scoring a 10-2 run-rule victory. The Jayhawks screamed out to a 7-0 lead after three innings. The Bulldogs rallied to score two runs in the top of the fifth, but the Jayhawks scored three in the bottom of the fifth to grab the run-rule victory.
"For the first five innings, we attacked the game and attacked Auburn," Smith said. "Then for some reason, we weren't consistent with that, and we kind of backed off a little bit and gave Auburn a chance to come back in. When you give good teams a chance like that, they are going to attack it and pounce on it, and that's what they did."
weekend. Hull said this year's expectations for the team are a lot higher because there is a lot more talent on the team. Hull said they are happy to be 7-2 on the season, but at the same time, both of the games they lost were games she thinks the Jayhawks could have won and should have won.
"The three (wins) and one (loss) is great for the weekend," Smith said. "We had some really bright spots, but we need to work on our overall consistency and our overall demeanor on how we attack the game. We were a little bit up and down this weekend."
"Every time I'm at the plate, my goal is to get on base, whether it is getting a hit or being walked." Hull said. "It's easy to focus on the times I did well, but I try to focus on times I didn't execute and figure out the reason why."

This weekend also included sophomore Alicia Pille's third victory and second complete game on the season. Pille said strength training and the new pitching coach have been big reasons for her success, but there is always room for improvement.
"With the new players that we brought in, there are a lot more runs on the board, and our defense has been stellar, which just makes my job that much easier," Pille said.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Elijah Johnson, senior point guard
The senior point guard had his best game of conference play, going 1-5 from the field and finishing with 12 points. He scored the Jayhawks' first seven points of the second half, all in transition. Just as importantly, he had four assists and only one turnover.

Naadir Tharpe, sophomore guard
With Elijah Johnson capably running the team Saturday night, Tharpe only got 15 minutes of action. He missed both of his 3-point attempts and scored only two points. To be fair, he had three assists and two steals against zero turnovers.

QUOTE OF THE GAME
"When Justin (Wesley) kind of forced us to do it, it turned into us having so much energy yesterday. And then we went into practice, it just carried over. We just started to realize there's not too much time left. Enjoy it. Right now it's something that we could look back on and say when we was going through a bad time this is when it started to get fun."

BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Heading into the Kansas Jayhawks' matchup with Texas, it was well known that Mario Chalmers was going to be celebrated.
There was his freshly printed banner waiting to be unveiled in the rafters, numerous replays of his miracle shot from 2008 and a standing ovation from the crowd when he took the court to receive his halftime tribute.
Even Travis Releford got into the act, connecting on back-to-back 3-pointers to open the scoring for Kansas in its 73-47 victory over Texas.
Yet, on a night when Kansas honored one of its greatest shooters of all time, it was the Jayhawks' defense that awed Allen Fieldhouse.
Uncomfortable meant that
"I felt like both halves, we did a great job of making them uncomfortable." Releford said after the game. "We were great."
of the 55 shots tossed up by the Longhorns, only 12 sailed through the net.
Not even the return of agile point guard Myck Kabongo could lift Texas from the cloud of Jayhawks. The Longhorns tallied just three assists to Kansas' 15.
Still, nothing was more telling of the defensive stance than midway through the second half when the Jayhawks forced Texas into consecutive shot clock violations — a new sight for Kansas coach Bill Self.
"I don't know if I've ever seen that," Self said. "We're fairly active 'til it gets down to 10 seconds, and we're solid then. We don't take chances. A shot clock violation is about as good as we can do."
It also helps to have 7-foot Jeff Withey guarding the paint.
"Frustration sets in on other teams when they know they can't shoot a regular shot," Elijah Johnson said of Withey's defense. "You've got to detour it all the time. You can't practice for that."
get off near him. He solidified that notion by setting the all-time Big 12 blocks record (265) in the second half, surpassing former Longhorn Chris Mihm.
Teams also can't practice for what Withe can do if a shot does
As much as Texas coach Rick Barnes was willing to praise Kansas for its ability to shut down his offense, there were issues with the Longhorns that even he can't fix.
It was Withey's 100th block on the season.
"You can't coach making shots" Barnes said. "Guys have to make them. We missed a lot of shots."
And as has been the case all season when the group is executing on the back end, the Jayhawks' defense led to a furious offense, the kind that saw four of its starters combine for 55 points.
Most noticeable was the play of Elijah Johnson, who had been struggling of late. The senior had one turnover, four assists and 12 points.
The confidence he had been lacking seemed to return all at once, as Johnson was able to drive the lane, finish at the rim and wait
for the play to develop instead of forcing it.
Or as he put it, tonight, basketball was just natural.
"When you're having fun, you don't have to listen to the scouting report," Johnson said. "When you're having fun, you don't have to know the plays. When you're having fun, you've just got to go out there and play."
And when you're having fun, you take off on a breakaway for a 360-degree dunk — or maybe that's just when Ben McLemore is having fun, like he did late in the game to drain whatever life was still left in the Longhorns.
"We guarded great," Self said. "We went after the ball soft, but we certainly weren't soft with our first-shot defense."
Either way, it wasn't the buckets from Kansas that turned Saturday night into a blowout. It was the lack of them from Texas.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND Goodrich piles on the honors Kansas 34|47-81 Oklahoma 22|49-71
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
The personal accolades continue to pile up for senior point guard Angel Goodrich. First, it was being named an All-American. Then, it was being named a John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 20 finalist. Next, it was scoring 1,000 points and becoming the 26th Kansas lavihawk to do so.
Now, she has her name on top of the mantle all point guards strive for: assists.
Sunday afternoon against the No. 22-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, Goodrich became the Jayhawks' all-time leader in assists as she dished out her 687th career pass to take over the top.
"When the horn went off, that was the first best moment," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "But the second best, she goes, 'I did what? What did I do?' That's the second best moment. That is who that kid has been since I saw her as an eighth-grader. She's done exactly what I thought she could do in this league and at this level. It's
exactly what I thought she could do for our program."
Goodrich passed the likes of Ivana Catic, Erica Hallman, Lynette Woodard and finally Lisa Braddy on her way to claim the all-time assist leader honor.
Oklahoma coach Sherri Cole had nothing but praise for the Oklahoma native and said Goodrich had the supporting cast to make the climb to the top possible.
"Any time someone puts up an assist record, that means you have some people around you that are finishing baskets," Coale said. "And she's had that. She's been exactly what I thought shed be in this league. I knew she'd be a great player in this league."
Goodrich said she never envisioned her career panning out the way it has and looks at what her coach and opposing coaches say about her as the highest compliments a player can receive.
"For them to come and say that about me, about the player that I am, it's an honor." Goodrich said.
Sooners. The last assist came on the last bucket of the game as Goodrich threw a pass up to junior guard CeCe Harper on the fast break.
Goodrich had 17 points and 10 assists in the 81-71 victory over the
Senior forward Carolyn Davis has played with Goodrich for four years and has been on the receiving end of numerous passes inside for a bucket. She said it's been great to have someone like Goodrich who can set things up and make life easier for her.
"We joke that I feel like I should get some credit because, you know, I'm scoring a lot of those baskets for her," Davis said. "But it's great; she's a great point guard. We all know she's one of the greatest in the country, and it really shows right now."
Earlier in the year when Goodrich became the 26th Jayhawk to score 1,000 points, she said she was disappointed that her family couldn't be there to celebrate with her. But on the day she became the all-time leader in assists, her family was sitting just past half court.
Goodrich said she didn't know she was even close to the record and didn't know she had it until
the announcer said it over the loud speakers in Allen Fieldhouse. But when she found out, she put on a big smile and pointed to her family as a show of appreciation.
"I haven't played a good game while they've been in a while," Goodrich said. "For me to come out and play the way I played, it feels awesome."
Goodrich has become one of the leaders of the Jayhawks despite her soft-spoken nature. Henrickson said she couldn't be prouder of Goodrich for accomplishning something as big as becoming the all-time assist leader.
"I couldn't be happier for her and for her family, who made a sacrifice for her to come this far," Henrickson said. "For her teammates, who have so much respect for her, they've really appreciated and enjoyed her success. It's who I thought she could be. She has a gift."

COMMENTARY
Kansas will fight for Big 12 title
What a weekend. The Kansas men's basketball team demolished the Texas Longhorns with a 26-point victory on College GameDay.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Former Kansas great Mario Chalmers stood at center court in front of fans and former players like Nick Collison, Wayne Simien and Thomas Robinson, and watched his jersey hang in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks have their swagger back.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore slammed a 360 degree dunk. Senior center Jeff Withey passed Texas' Chris Mihm as the Big 12's all-time blocked shots leader.
Offense finally started to click, defense smothered the Longhorns and the determination for Kansas ninth straight Big 12 title was back.
Even though the Jayhawks are back in sync, they still have a tough challenge ahead.
As many know, the Big 12 currently has a three-way tie first place among Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
Kansas sits ahead of the other two programs, but the Jayhawks have the hardest remaining schedule.
Sure, home games against TCU,
West Virginia and Texas Tech aren't
alarming, but the three away games
are a big concern.
On Wednesday, the Jayhawks traveled to No. 17 Oklahoma State to average a home loss that snapped a 33-game winning streak.
Five days later, the squad travels to Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State in the Hilton Magic. No team this year has gone to Hilton Coliseum and left with a victory.
Then, to finish the regular season, the Jayhawks head south to take on Baylor, a team that is always dangerous with the talent that the Bears possess.
That's quite the road trip, especially when you compare the Jayhawks schedule to the other two schools.
After beating Baylor by 20 points, the Kansas State Wildcats have West Virginia, Texas Tech and TCU at home. The three road games left are Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma State, which could be trouble, but the Wildcats have won against all of those teams.

PAGE 7 Revisit the women's victory over Oklahoma
Keep in mind that Kansas hasn't been the best road team in the B12.
Oklahoma State is peaking at the right time, winning seven straight games. The Cowboys do travel to Iowa State, but all of the tough games are at home, which gives Oklahoma State an advantage over Kansas State and Kansas.
Besides winning against Ohio State and Texas Tech, Kansas' largest victory was by five points against Texas and West Virginia.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to finish out the season.
Still, this isn't something new to Kansas basketball.
On the bright side, tough stretches of games like this can prepare the jayhawks for a great NCAA tournament run. The mental toughness builds in this stretch.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have no choice but to win these games. If the Jayhawks lose one game, they will have to hope for a loss to keep them in the running for the conference title.

OLD MEETS NEW
Former players return for Texas game, Chalmers' jersey retirement
RYAN MCCARTHEY
rmccarthey@kansan.com
It was a special night in the Fieldhouse with Mario Chalmers' number rising into the rafters.
The arena showed off a blend of old and new schools in Kansas' 73-47 victory over Texas.
Chalmers walked onto Naismith court at halftime and gave a well-thought out speech to the sellout crowd just after the cord had been pulled to reveal his jersey.
On the other hand the videos scrolled across the board hanging over the court with booming sounds blasting out of the speakers exciting the student section and possibly the recruits sitting in the stands.
And for the most part the game on the floor did not match the intensity surrounding it. Kansas cruised to a comfortable lead thanks to its
defense and the Longhorns' inability to knock down open shots.
That all changed when freshman guard Ben McLemore made a whirlwind 360 dunk with 4:11 remaining, raising the Kansas fans out of their seats before driving home for the night.
"I didn't think he was going to try to do that," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He slowed down to go off too, and I was like 'What is he doing', and then he did it."
Although McLemore's highlight slam rivaled the performances of the pros in the slam dunk competition in the NBA, the much improved play by senior Elijah Johnson played Kansas in the free flowing momentum they showed against Kansas State last Monday.
"When you're having fun you don't have to listen to the scouting report," Johnson said. "When
you're having fun you don't have to know the plays. When you're having fun you don't have to know nothing. You just have to go out there and play and that's what were doing right now we're just playing."
Johnson had one of his better nights in recent weeks, scoring with 13 points while also grabbing five boards and dishing out three assists. Most importantly, Johnson limited himself to a single turnover for the evening.
What also might have helped Johnson was the return of Chalmers and the other current and former NBA players in town because of All-Star weekend.
Still Johnson knows he can rely on all his former teammates as he went through his struggles.
"Mario doesn't have to be here to talk," Johnson said. "He'll text me and let me know what they're
thinking. I feel like having all those guys around brought energy. It just comes along with it. It's a good feeling that shoots through your body."
Another milestone moment reached tonight for Kansas came when senior center Jeff Withey surpassed Texas' Chris Mihm for the Big 12 blocks record with the 265th block of his career.
"I put a lot of hard work into getting it," Withey said. "I have a lot more games to play so hopefully I can add something to it and make sure it doesn't get touched for 20-something years."
Withey also put together his ninth double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds to go along with his two blocks.
The other leading scorer for the Jayhawks was senior Travis Releford who knocked down four
of his five 3-point attempts on the night while also helping to lead the team to one of its better defensive efforts of the season.
The Longhorns made 12 shots and shot 21.8 percent for the night.
"It was one of those good solid games, nothing special, but one of those game we are happy get a win" Self said.
Now the Jayhawks' focus turns to a crucial matchup against Oklahoma State on Wednesday night, a game where their best effort will be needed to avenge their lone home loss of the season.
"We put ourselves in a very tough position knowing there's very little margin for error, but the guys usually respond favorably when the stage is pretty bright," Self said.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Seniors lead victory over No.22 Okla.
MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com
Senior leadership carried the Kansas women's basketball team to an 81-71 victory over No. 22 ranked Oklahoma at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday.
the three seniors, Angel Goodrich, Monica Engelman, and Carolyn Davis, combined for 62 of the jayhawks' 81 points, and it was the second consecutive game in which Engelman has scored over 20 points.
It has become a theme that in each of Kansas' most recent wins, going back to the victory over Iowa State, the seniors have acted as leaders and played like veterans.
"There's poise and compose." Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There's a sense of calm, not without a heartbeat, but their huddles are tighter, their voices are louder."
As Henrickson said, when Oklahoma made a second half run and cut the lead to single digits, it was Angel Goodrich who had the answer Goodrich and Engelman were able to
get the ball to Davis and make important free throws.
The lead was seven points, the closest it was in the second half, with 5.33 left in the half when Davis began demanding the ball. Oklahoma was right in the middle of making a second half run that seemed inevitable, but Davis caught the ball in the post, turned and scored.
Davis and her teammates are familiar with fighting back from double-digit margins in the second half as they did against TCU and Iowa State, but against Oklahoma on Sunday it was the Jayhawks trying to hold off Oklahoma's run. Herickson and Davis both agreed that those situations gave them a lesson of how to handle the lead.
Henrickson said she made
"I felt like we were slowing up," Davis said. "We had to keep pushing the tempo. We had to keep attacking. We couldn't up. I was trying to get my teammates to be more aggressive. I knew I had to take over as a senior, as a captain. I just tried to push my teammates to give me the ball."
sure her team knew not to start
playing not to lose, though she
said she did not use those words
as she spoke to them during a
second half timeout.
"Don't you dare stop being aggressive," Henrickson told them in the huddle. "Don't you dare start standing around and watching Angel and Carolyn play."
In the end, Davis had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Engelman had 21 points and five rebounds, and Goodrich had 17 points and 10 assists.
Sophomore Chelsea Gardner also contributed 10 points and nine rebounds in the game.
The win is the second this season for the layhawks over a team ranked in the AP top-25 poll, and gives them a winning record in conference play at 7-6. Kansas still sits at sixth in the conference standings.

Letter from the Editor
Leasing season is upon us yet again. It's that time of year when students begin to frantically peruse Lawrence for the perfect place to call home. Whether you are looking for a new apartment near campus or across town, the apartment guide is the perfect place to start.
The worst part about finding off-campus housing is actually starting the search. Lucky for you, this apartment guide focuses on starting the search for an apartment or house. Included inside the first guide are topics often overlooked by student renters, such as the importance of planning a move in advance.
Still stumped as to where to go now? Start by refining your search by creating a wish list including, but not limited to, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, price range and apartment amenities.
The guide also includes tips (on everything) from subleasing to finding a pet friendly apartment.
Make your next move easier on yourself by using our apartment guide as your one stop resource to help get your search started today. But it doesn't end here. Stay tuned for the next apartment guide coming early March.
Happy Searching!

SHELBY JACOBS/KANSAN
Planning ahead can make moving easy
Storage units are used by many in between moving into a new apartment.
KELSEY BARRETT
editor@kansan.com
The key to having a successful moving experience starts and ends with organization. That process begins even before signing a lease. It can be a stressful time for many, so planning early and having a system will relieve some of that worry.
One aspect many students don't think about is how they are getting their things from one place to another. This is not something to be left to a last-minute decision.
"I write everything down. I leave myself automatic reminders on my phone and I count on my roommates to help me out," said Jaclyn Carpenter, a freshman from Shawnee. "There's a lot of stuff that goes into staying organized."
"The hardest part about moving is moving all the heavy things and finding a place for everything." Kelsie Blatcher, a senior from Shawnee, said.
Blatcher, having moved three times since her time in Lawrence, believes organization really makes the whole move.
"Staying organized is important because it makes putting things away much easier," Blatcher said.
U-Haul offers many different options that can help, including trucks, trailers, and moving pods. When summer rolls around, everyone seems to rush around to find something to transport their belongings. Carpenter feels that planning ahead will eliminate some of the stress many students experience at the start of
a new semester.
"Essentially, if you don't stay organized you're not going to be able to find a place to live." Carpenter said.
An option that some might not have considered is the U-Box pods. The company delivers the pod to any location for packing up and then will transport to another location in town or even across the country. This option provides more flexibility because there is no time restriction like trucks due to their high demand. The pods also provide a solution for those students who might be moving just for the summer and then back again, or have a gap between leases.
Not only is it essential to plan a transportation method, but to recruit help as well. Asking some friends or family in advance will increase their chances of helping. Blatcher appreciated the help of her parents, sister, and boyfriend on her last move to a townhouse.
"Setting up a move is so rough and incredibly stressful," said Carpenter. "If you don't take a second to just relax you're going to end up hating an experience that is actually really exciting."
"Use the help while you have it," Blatcher said. "Your parents might annoy you a little but they know what they are doing so let them help."
Carpenter stresses the importance of planning, but also not to forget to enjoy the experience.
Visit www.uhaul.com to view rates and reserve any equipment early.
MOVING BY THE NUMBERS:
17 to 20 million people may move this summer.
Nearly 45 percent of all moves occur between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
40 to 50 million people may move this year.
1/3 of all people in their 20s move in a given year.
U-Haul offers one free month of storage with every one-way truck or trailer rental.
The average person moves i1 times in a lifetime.

On the bright side, tough stretches of games like this can prepare the jayhawks for a great NCAA tournament run. The mental toughness builds in this stretch.
Besides winning against Ohio state and Texas Tech, Kansas's largest victory was by five points against Texas and West Virginia.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to finish out the season.
Still, this isn't something new to Kansas basketball.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have no choice but to win these games. If the Jayhawks lose one game, they will have to hope for a loss to keep them in the running for the conference title.

for 62 of the Jayhawks' 81 points, and it was the second consecutive game in which Engelman has scored over 20 points.
It has become a theme that in each of Kansas' most recent wins, going back to the victory over Iowa State, the seniors have acted as leaders and played like veterans.
"There's poise and composure," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There's a sense of calm, not without a heartbeat, but their huddles are tighter, their voices are louder."
As Henrickson said, when Oklahoma made a second half run and cut the lead to single digits, it was Angel Goodrich who had the answer. Goodrich and Engelman were able to
"I felt like we were slowing up," Davis said. "We had to keep pushing the tempo. We had to keep attacking. We couldn't let up. I was trying to get my teammates to be more aggressive. I knew I had to take over as a senior, as a captain. I just tried to push my teammates to give me the ball."
Davis and her teammates are familiar with fighting back from double-digit margins in the second half as they did against TCU and Iowa State, but against Oklahoma on Sunday it was the Jayhawks trying to hold off Oklahoma's run. Herickson and Davis both agreed that those situations gave them a lesson of how to handle the lead.
Henrickson said she made
In the end, Davis had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Engelman had 21 points and five rebounds, and Goodrich had 17 points and 10 assists.
The win is the second this season for the Jayhawks over a team ranked in the AP top-25 poll, and gives them a winning record in conference play at 7-6. Kansas still sits at sixth in the conference standings.

RENTERS' WISH LISTS HELP NARROW SEARCH
MEGAN LUCAS
editor@kansan.com
Wood floors, large kitchens, and a private bathroom are all things students are looking for in apartments. There are multiple apartment complexes to choose from throughout Lawrence, so creating a wish list before starting your search is essential to easing the crazy process.
Sophomore Abby Naudet from Lake Ozark, Mo., lives in the Legends, five miles from campus.
PAGE 5
Naudet moved into her apartment with her freshman-year roommates in August of 2012 and is plans on living there again next year.
"We are living off campus because it is cheaper," Naudet said. "We have a four-bedroom apartment in a safe area on a University of Kansas bus route. We all have our own bathroom."
Naudet did not have a long list of what she wanted while searching for an apartment.
"At first it was hard not being on campus, but now I am able to remove myself from campus and school," Naudet said. "I have my own space to relax."
Junior Mikaya Reynolds from Olathe has lived in the Grove since August, but is considering moving to a different apartment complex.
"We liked the Grove because it has a lot of space, except in the kitchen," Reynolds said. "And that was the one thing we really wanted. We knew what we wanted the second time around."
Reynolds and her roommates wanted a fully furnished apartment and found that at the Grove.
"We didn't want to have to pay for furniture." Revnoils said.
The Grove is less than two miles from campus and offers fully furnished apartments among other amenities.
The Reserve is five miles from campus, located on a KU on Wheels bus route and offers private bathrooms.
"Students want one simple payment so they don't have to worry about several bills, along with a sense of community," Andrea Potter, Grove sales manager, said. "Students should also research all options. Take a look, get the best deal, see the property and take a tour."
Edited by Laken Rapier
"Students should do their homework, talk to upperclassmen," Kory Wilcoxson, The Reserve community manager, said. "It's the little things that push above."
Wood floors are often taken into consideration when it comes to finding a place to live. Wood floors and big kitchens are often at the top of many renters' wish lists.

SUBLEASES
Subleasing a short-term option for renters
JULIE ETZLER
editor@kansan.com
Roommates, location, price and size are all factors that students look at when searching for an apartment. A factor that most students don't consider is what may happen if they need to move out in the middle of their lease. Subleasing is popular with students so they don't have to pay rent while they're gone, but most students don't know what subleasing is or how it works.
"Subleasing is the only way that you can break your lease early," Emily Strusz, Highpointe Apartment Homes manager, said. "Most leases don't have cancellation contracts because there are roommate problems or people frequently move around."
The process of subleasing isn't a difficult one, the tenant simply needs to know what it entails.
"The current tenant is required to find the subleaser. The apartment complexes have a list of people wanting to sublease but they cannot advertise for the tenant." Strusz said, "Before the new tenant can take over they have to be screened and approved. From there they will sign a new contract, take over for the old tenant, and have the same terms and contracts. After the contract is signed the old tenant is off
the hook and doesn't have to pay anything."
Students also agree that the subleasing process is fairly simple.
"I am trying to sublease right now but I checked out my lease before. Since I live in a house, the new tenant would just have to sign a new contract and continue to pay the same price that I paid when they move in," Morgan Wilkerson, a junior from Platte City, Mo., said.
The biggest challenge of subleasing is trying to find the subleaser.
The advice that Wilkerson gives to students about subleasing, is to know what's in the lease and advertise as soon as possible.
"I just finished with a roommate's sublease and we advertised to the Facebook housing group and Craigslist," Jessica Noble, a junior from Olathe, said. "I was really surprised that we didn't get any responses from the Facebook group. We did get a lot of responses from Craigslist and it only took a day after posting to determine who our new roommate would be."
"Definitely advertise on Facebook and Craigslist, but word of mouth is key," Wilkerson said. "Talk to the clubs and organizations that you're involved in and talk to your friends and their clubs and organizations. Be as specific as possible and get people interested."

RENTERS SHOULD CONSIDER SECURITY A TOP PRIORITY
HALEY FRANCIS
editor@kansan.com
Comparing home security in the residence hall, apartment and rental house
Deciding where to live during college can be a royal headache, especially when the process is new. From the roommates to the location, there are many aspects to consider. While many students live on-campus for at least their first year, the question of where to reside next soon arises. Is it best to stay in a residence hall on-campus? What about an off-campus apartment or rental house? Each option has its pros and cons and it is important to weigh the options in order to find the best fit for you. So what about safety? How important is home security when selecting a place to live?
Living in a KU residence hall has its obvious perks: faster commute to classes, the convenience of nearby student resources and the opportunity to meet new people. The included safety benefits are also noteworthy. According to the KU Department of Student Housing, all residence halls ensure personal support, including nighttime hallway security rounds, 24-hour card swipe security and patrolling video cameras in the buildings and parking lots. Talk about a home security system.
If you're itching for some independence and a bathroom with a two or three-person occupancy, a rental house is a common off-campus option. But with freedom comes more responsibility. Landlords provide basic safety, but at the expense of cameras and security officers."
All of our houses have outdoor lighting. Some have motion sensor lights, some do not. They all have deadbolts and good locks on the doors," said Chad Glazer, owner of Glazer Properties LLC. Glazer also advises his tenants to get renter's insurance. "It's really, really cheap and you can get most or all of your stuff covered. It's as cheap as $5-$10 per month." If any tenants still wanted more safety, Glazer said he would allow tenants to install their own security system if they covered the expense.
Sgt. Trent McKinley from the Lawrence Police Department said overall, alarm systems are of great help.
"They help to keep people out of your house, at least for long periods," McKinley said. "If it's something that doesn't make a lot of noise, dispatchers are notified in at least five minutes, so the person can't spend 30 minutes walking around your house."
Some landlords do not allow tenants to add their own security instillation. In this case, McKinley suggests students take a few easy precautions of their own. He recommended barring the door to prevent someone from
coming into the home while you are there as well as locking the doors when you leave.
Edited by Laken Rapier
Another possibility for off campus freedom is one of the numerous apartment complexes in town. Similar to the residence halls, many complexes include safety features. Eddingham Place Apartments, located near West Campus, provides standard safety. Property manager Cindy Harnett said all of the apartments have deadbolt locks, each building has two outside lights and there is hallway lighting as well as a light on either side of the apartment front doors. Although there are no parking lot video cameras or patrol, there is lots of light-ing.
RHIANNON ROSAS/KANSAN
Some apartment complexes have security systems that require a passcode for entrance.
The possibilities are abundant when choosing a place to live. Wherever you choose, it is important to feel safe, even when you are not there. McKinley advised students to be careful when they leave town, whether they live in a residence hall, apartment, or house, and ask someone to periodically check up on their place. From picking up the newspaper and turning on lamps to changing the arrangement of the blinds and playing music, he said to be sure to leave no sign of absence. Such precautions can limit the chance of break-ins and burglaries

On-site maintenance can improve apartment living
HANNAH PIERANGELO editor@kansan.com
That hectic time of year has come around again - apartment hunting. College students looking to move from their current situation are scouring the city for the perfect living space.
Maintenance is an extremely important aspect to consider when deciding where to live.
There is a lot more to think about when looking for a new home than simply location, price and comfort. All are important things to look for, but it is equally important to think ahead. What should you do when the breaker blows in your apartment? What if the sink clogs, or something breaks?
The first thing to decide is what type of maintenance you will need. Will you call a professional, or do it yourself? The DIY trend grows every year, but sometimes it may be more beneficial to leave repairs to the experts.
residents try to fix the problem themselves.
Most apartment complexes have on-site maintenance crews available to help with a wide variety of problems during the week, and on weekends for special emergencies.
"If there is an easy fix, I will advise and try to help the resident to try and fix it, but if they can't, it's not problem. We can get it fixed just as easily," said Tate Vobach, the leasing professional for The Reserve Apartments.
Most issues are small and can be handled easily, however, tasks involving electricity and plumbing should always be left to a professional.
"There is always someone on call. We have 24-hour maintenance, and we pretty much take care of anything."
"There is always someone on call. We have 24-hour maintenance, and we pretty much take care of anything," said Macy Hundley, the leasing consultant for Hawks Pointe Apartments.
Many apartment complexes share the 24-hour feature during the week. If having someone on hand for any maintenance needs is a requirement, be sure to ask about it when looking into apartments.
For those feeling handy or up to the task of DIY repairs, some apartments don't mind if

For those who wish to handle maintenance themselves, living in a house might be the better option. One should also keep in mind the added costs of hiring maintenance when repairs are too big to tackle alone.
Anyone interested in personalizing their apartment by painting and doing minor modifications should also speak with consultants. Some complexes like Hawks Poine Apartments allow residents to paint the walls, as long as they are painted back to the original color when they move out. Not all complexes are as lenient, so

be sure to double-check for permission.
"I don't necessarily experience a lot of maintenance problems with my apartment specifically. I think The Reserve deals with their maintenance problems on a quick basis; they are certainly responsive in a timely manner," said Macy Amsden, a sophomore from Wichita.
Many apartment complexes have a maintenance staff on site. This will save money instead of calling local businesses to fix apartment problems.
In general, maintenance in apartments will probably not be a major concern for the duration of a residents lease. But if something should happen, you'll be glad you thought ahead.

AMENITIES

Starting the search for an apartments can be daunting, but you can narrow down your options by making a few choices. To begin, decide the features that are most important to you, such as rent, proximity to campus and parking.
The top five sought-after amenities are having washers and dryers in each unit, allowing pets in an apartment, having air conditioning, some paid utilities and a place to do laundry in the complex, according to ApartmentGuide.com. After living in the dorms, some of these features are easy to overlook—especially when it comes to doing the dishes.
One issue worth looking into is whether the complex offers safe parking.
"That's a huge factor for me," said Lynn Schrag, a senior from Wichita. "Not only where I to get to park, but whether it's covered or if I have my own parking space. I would also like to have additional parking to allow for guests."
Apartments offering covered parking or personal garages are often worth a small increase in monthly rent for students.
For other students, it's all about location, location, location.
"I spend most of my time on campus during
the day with meetings, classes and office hours, so I would want to be able to run back to my apartment to get whatever I needed instead of packing everything for the day," said Jennifer Garren, a senior from Overland Park. "I do have a car, but I would want to walk to campus. Especially when parking is so difficult."
Basics aside, apartments can offer many bores you would never see in the dorms. Some apartments have a separate workout facility, a pool, and some buildings even have a study room with a printer. For students who are willing to pay a little more, billiards rooms, cinemas, tennis courts and even free tanning can be fun distractions.
Having an apartment located on one of the KU on Wheels's bus routes is another top amenity students value. While most complexes are along one of the bus routes, some apartments have their own buses that go to campus. Living on the SafeBus route is also a plus for some students.
With so many options, making a list of needs, wants and likes will help the decision-making process.

Besides winning against Ohio state and Texas Tech, Kansas' largest victory was by five points against Texas and West Virginia.
On the bright side, tough stretches of games like this can prepare the jayhawks for a great NCAA tournament run. The mental toughness builds in this stretch.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to finish out the season.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have no choice but to win these games. If the Jayhawks lose one game, they will have to hope for a loss to keep them in the running for the conference title.
Still, this isn't something new to Kansas basketball.
Edited by Brian Sisk
for 62 of the Jayhawks' 81 points, and it was the second consecutive game in which Engelman has scored over 20 points.
"There's poise and composure," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There's a sense of calm, not without a heartbeat, but their huddles are tighter, their voices are louder."
It has become a theme that in each of Kansas' most recent wins, going back to the victory over Iowa State, the seniors have acted as leaders and played like veterans.
As Henrickson said, when Oklahoma made a second half run and cut the lead to single digits, it was Angel Goodrich who had the answer. Goodrich and Engelman were able to
"I felt like we were slowing up," Davis said. "We had to keep pushing the tempo. We had to keep attacking. We couldn't let up. I was trying to get my teammates to be more aggressive. I knew I had to take over as a senior, as a captain. I just tried to push my teammates to give me the ball."
Davis and her teammates are familiar with fighting back from double-digit margins in the second half as they did against TCU and Iowa State, but against Oklahoma on Sunday it was the Jayhawks trying to hold off Oklahoma's run. Herickson and Davis both agreed that those situations gave them a lesson of how to handle the lead.
Henrickson said she made
Sophomore Chelsea Gardner also contributed 10 points and nine rebounds in the game.
K
In the end, Davis had 24 points and 10 rebounds. Engelman had 21 points and five rebounds, and Goodrich had 17 points and 10 assists.
Edited by Brian Sisk
The win is the second this season for the Jayhawks over a team ranked in the AP top-25 poll, and gives them a winning record in conference play at 7-6. Kansas still sits at sixth in the conference standings.

Searching for a pet friendly apartment is not easy
I HAYLEY INZWIAK
hjozwiak@kansan.com
Finding a great place to live is tough, but it's even tougher when you throw a pet in the mix. Whether you are looking to adopt an animal, bringing one from home or already have a curry friend, Lawrence apartments have plenty of options when it comes to pets.
Katie Oliver, a senior from Leavenworth, had to pay a refundable pet deposit and a monthly fee for her cat, Ernie. Oliver lives at Summer Tree Townhomes on Eldridge.
"I wouldn't live without Ernie, he's my happiness," Oliver said. "He's definitely worth it; $25 a month doesn't break the bank or anything."
Hannah Fahler, a senior from Peru, Ill., had a difficult time finding a place for she and her two dogs to live.
"It was hard to find an apartment that I liked that would be a good living space for the dogs, too." Fahler said.
In search of a big yard and a low monthly pet fee, Fahler finally settled on a townhouse just off Clinton Parkway.
Plenty of complexes in Lawrence allow cats and dogs, but with weight and breed restrictions.
A great example is Berkeley Flats. According to its website, there is a two-animal limit with a weight restriction of 35 pounds. Tenants with pets must pay an initial pet deposit of $150 and
an additional monthly pet rent of $25.
MADISON
In some cases, the size of the pet may be negotiable by talking to management. The Hawks Pointe Apartments' lease reads, "Pet may not exceed 25 pounds in weight at full maturity, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Management." At Hawks Pointe, pet owners pay a deposit of $300, of which $150 is refundable if there are no damages at the end of the lease. The complex also charges a monthly fee of $10 per a cat and $25 per a dog.
At Eagle Ridge Apartments and Peppertree Apartments, the lease specifies a two-animal limit with breed restrictions but no weight limit.
For owners of exotic animals, such as snakes and reptiles, apartments such as 901 New Hampshire and Meadowbrook Apartments & Townhomes are options. According to the lease, 901 New Hampshire will allow animals such as snakes, fish and turtles if the animal's weight is less than 10 pounds. Meadowbrook specifies on its website that all snakes must be nonpoisonous and only three feet long when fully grown.
MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN
Pets like this furry girl can make the apartment search more of a hassle. A yard and low pet fees are things to take into consideration.
Not a pet person? No worries, there are apartment buildings such as Williams Pointe on Wimbeddon Dr. and Carson Place on Louisiana St. that don't allow pets.

LOCATION
Close proximity to campus is key for students
NIKKI BISHT
editor@kansan.com
There comes a time when students move out of the residence balls and begin looking for an apartment or house for the upcoming year. The process is long and every little detail is taken into account, especially the location. Lawrence is a small town, but within it are countless places students can live. It all depends on where they want to reside.
Finding the right place to live depends on many aspects, like how close complexes are to campus, if it is walking distance, or if there are bus routes near by. A majority of students prefer to stay close to campus because it is an easy walk to classes or just a bus to catch. Zach Stegenga, a freshman from Overland Park, is searching for an apartment process along with three of his friends whom he met in his residence hall, Gertrude Sellars Pearson (GSP). Stegenga wants to live as close to campus as possible for many reasons.
"I like to be a part of things and not take my car everywhere I go, and I think location makes a tremendous role in making a decision of where to live, and being so close to campus is a big thing." Stegenga said. "It's nice to be able to walk to class rather than having to rely on buses."
Stegenga is involved in the Alumni Associa
tion and is a Student Ambassador.
"it's nice to be close to for all of those meetings during off hours when there's not a bus running" Stegenga said.

"Location was one of the most important things to me, [it] definitely ranked in the top five." Snyder said. "It was very important to me to be within walking distance, even if it was a bit of a far walk. I was not interested in
careless students."
"This year I am living a lot closer to the university and Mass. Street and I prefer it."
There are many places for rent in Lawrence that are farther from campus, and take more time to get to classes. Paige Kauffman, a junior from Littleton, Colo., used to live away

PAIGE KAUFFMAN Junior from Littleton, Colo.
"It's a little far of a walk to campus but it is close enough," Snyder said. "I'm not living in the heart of the student ghetto which means parties don't keep me up and the quality of the houses is generally a little better since families and professors have lived in them rather than
from campus, and it led to longer travel for her to campus.
"Last year I lived at the Reserve and while it was a great place to live, it took me forever to get up and down Iowa in the morning and afternoons," Kauffman said. "This year I am living a lot closer to the University and Mass. Street and I prefer it."
The City of Lawrence Transit system partnered with KU on Wheels to make the bus route system more organized and convenient for students who live off campus. There are 18 different bus routes that transport students to and from campus from various locations throughout Lawrence. Kauffman uses the buses on a daily basis to get to her classes.
"The bus stop is right around the corner from my house, so I just walk out and hop on. It is about a ten minute ride if I go all the way to the Union. The bus system is convenient to go places because the buses come often and don't cost
money if you are a KU student," Kauffman said. "There also is the perk of not going through the struggle of finding a parking spot on campus which is usually a bit of a challenge. Overall I think the buses in Lawrence are a good resource if you are close to the university."
It is a hard decision to make when looking for an apartment, and for a majority of college students it most often comes down to location and cost efficient apartments or houses. There are so many places to choose from, but keep searching and eventually you will find the perfect place.

Besides winning against Ohio state and Texas Tech, Kansas' largest victory was by five points against Texas and West Virginia.
On the bright side, tough stretches of games like this can prepare the jayhawks for a great NCAA tournament run. The mental toughness builds in this stretch.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have no choice but to win these games. If the Jayhawks lose one game, they will have to hope for a loss to keep them in the running for the conference title.
Still, this isn't something new to Kansas basketball.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to finish out the season.

for 62 of the Jayhawks' 81 points, and it was the second consecutive game in which Engelman has scored over 20 points.
"There's poise and compose," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There's a sense of calm, not without a heartbeat, but their huddles are tighter, their voices are louder."
It has become a theme that in each of Kansas' most recent wins, going back to the victory over Iowa State, the seniors have acted as leaders and played like veterans.
As Henrickson said, when Oklahoma made a second half run and cut the lead to single digits, it was Angel Goodrich who had the answer. Goodrich and Engelman were able to
"I felt like we were slowing up," Davis said. "We had to keep pushing the tempo. We had to keep attacking. We couldn't up. I was trying to get my teammates to be more aggressive. I knew I had to take over as a senior, as a captain. I just tried to push my teammates to give me the ball."
Davis and her teammates are familiar with fighting back from double-digit margins in the second half as they did against TCU and Iowa State, but against Oklahoma on Sunday it was the Jayhawks trying to hold off Oklahoma's run. Herickson and Davis both agreed that those situations gave them a lesson of how to handle the lead.

Sophomore Chelsea Gardner also contributed 10 points and nine rebounds in the game.

The win is the second this season for the layhawks over a team ranked in the AP top-25 poll, and gives them a winning record in conference play at 7-6. Kansas still sits at sixth in the standings.

A HANDY WAY TO AVOID THE FLU
Proper hand-washing techniques become extremely important during the flu season to prevent sickness
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
While hand-washing may prevent the spread of viruses, not all students are coming clean this flu season.
"I'm not surprised," said Sarah Johnston, a freshman from Leawood. "It's just known that not everyone washes their hands."
A study found only six out of 10 male students at the University washed their hands with soap after using the restroom. Three rinsed with just water, and one did not wash his hands at all. Females were only a bit better — seven out of 10 washed with soap, two rinsed with only water and one did not wash her hands at all.
More than half of the 137 reported flu cases by Watkins Memorial Health Center have occurred during the past two weeks, according to Student Health Services.
"We live in a dorm where sickness spreads fast," Johnston said.
While Johnston said she washes her hands regularly, she still caught the flu recently, as have most of her friends.
Littleton notices a lot of people wash their hands improperly or use hand sanitizer as a substitute.
While hand sanitizer kills some viruses, Littleton said the friction from scrubbing, disinfectant of the soap and rinsing of water all help remove viruses from the hands,
Elizabeth Littleton, a nurse at Watkins, said although the flu season began later - Watkins saw its first flu case December 5 - the number of students coming down with it this year is average.

"Hand-washing is crucial to preventing flu and airborne viruses," Littleton said.

Even receiving a flu vaccination does not guarantee against contracting the influenza virus, said Todd Funke, Director of Laboratories for the University's Microbiology department.
While Funke thinks getting vaccinated is a good idea, he pointed to a recently published study from the Center of Disease Control, which claims those vaccinated this flu season still have a 38 percent chance of catching the virus.
"For hand-washing, it's one of the most critical, well-documented steps for preventing the passing of illnesses," Funke said.
While the recommended time for hand-washing is 60 seconds, Shannon Faucett, a senior from Overland Park, found she only washes her hands for about 10 seconds.
"I'm surprised at how long you're supposed to wash, but I'm probably not going to change." Faucett said.
Tyler Bollinger, a senior from Overland Park, has yet to come down with the flu this season. Although Bollinger has not been vaccinated against the flu, he always washes his hands after using the restroom.
"I do it because I hate being sick," Bollinger said. "And it's gross not to"

Construction begins to improve major city streets
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
Construction began yesterday to repave Iowa Street between 15th Street and the Irving Hill Overpass, kicking off a series of projects to occur this year on heavy-traffic roads throughout Lawrence and on campus.
The City of Lawrence is scheduled to reconstruct Iowa Street through December; 15th Street over spring break in March and from May to August; and Bob Billings Parkway from May to August. While 15th Street will be closed entirely, Iowa and Bob Billings will be reduced to one lane. Commuters should expect delays during construction and are recommended to follow detours or avoid these streets while access is limited.
The city's streets won't be alone in construction. The University will begin its own construction of Jayhawk Boulevard this summer, breaking the project up over four summers until 2016.
"Jayhawk Boulevard is a centerpiece of the new KU historic district," said Paul Graves, Deputy Director with the University's Office
of Design and Construction Management. "It is being reconstructed to retain essential historic elements in terms of street width, sidewalk widths, and adding more trees."
Construction will focus on improving the boulevard by replacing deteriorated asphalt with concrete pavement. Graves hopes the pavement, which will be much more durable for the traffic of heavy KU transport buses, will last for longer than 30 years. Cracked and unevenly surfaced sidewalks will be replaced. Construction will also replace ramps from street surface to sidewalks, ensuring that the new ramps meet current accessibility standards.
According to conceptual designs, 60 canopy trees will be planted, paying homage to when jayhawk Boulevard was lined with American elm trees that were decimated by Dutch elm disease.
While the streets are unpaved, water lines will also be replaced in order to update to current standards, and storm water drainage will be installed in all areas.
Finally, the construction has been designed to be as consistent as possible with the University's
sustainability plan. Conventional street lights, for example, will be replaced with energy-efficient LED luminaires.
The University and the City of Lawrence have collaborated to create a construction schedule that limits inconvenience for residents and students.
"We're doing this in the summer when, hopefully, the least amount of people will be inconvenienced," Graves said.
"The pavement will be smoother and more durable so, whether walking on the sidewalks, bicycling down the street, riding a bus, it's going to be a safer and more convenient trip." Graves said. "Ultimately, it will also have a nicer appearance. With time, as the additional trees mature, it will be more shaded and more pleasant to walk along, especially in the heat of summer."
Fortunately, Graves said, KU and the city offer plenty of alternative sidewalks and routes. Additionally, since the construction will be phased in four parts, lajhawk Bouleard will never be entirely closed down.

Senate denies $10M to KU Med for expansion
TOPEKA (AP) — A Kansas Senate committee has ratified a conservative Republican lawmaker's proposal to deny $10 million to the University of Kansas Medical Center for an expansion.
The Ways and Means Committee backed Sen. Tom Arpke of Salina on a voice vote Monday before endorsing spending recommendations for the state's higher education system.
Those recommendations overall are
largely in line with Republican Gov.
Sam Brownback's proposals for about
$2.5 billion in annual spending.
But Brownback wanted the $10 million for the expansion of the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The total project is expected to cost $75 million, with the rest of the funds coming from private donations.
Arpke argues the University of Kansas isn't operating as efficiently as it could and can tap reserve funds for the project.

Ad Astra campaign targets parking
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
With Student Senate elections around the corner, new coalition Ad Astra has released its first three platforms. Marcus Tetwiler, a junior from Paola, is Ad Astra's 2013 presidential candidate. Emma Halling, a junior from Elkhart, Ind., is running as Ad Astra's 2013 vice president.
THE FIRST THREE PLATFORMS:
Ad Astra will work with University administration to change this policy and lock in transfer student tuition rates. Tyler Childress, a junior from Coffeyville and campaign manager for Ad Astra, said this will make it fair and could make the University enticing for transfer students.
Tuition increases for incoming freshman each year. As an entering freshman, each student has a locked rate of tuition that will not increase as they progress toward graduation. Transfer students do not have this luxury.
1. LOCKING IN TRANSFER STUDENT TUITION RATES
Ad Astra plans to work with the parking department to upgrade signs to ensure students are aware of parking zones and to minimize their risk of parking tickets. They will also work to improve graduate student parking and student parking on game days.
2. IMPROVING STUDENT PARKING
3. STUDENT SENATE OPPORTUNITY ENOWMENT
Childress said that the current design is not effective, and new signs will make parking designations more clear.
Ad Astra plans to partner with the School of Business to form a Student Senate Opportunity Endowment. They will invest a principal amount along with private investors, and the funds will, in turn, be used for student research, conference travel and other curricular opportunities for students. School of Business students and KU Endowment will manage the fund.
Childress said that this endowment would not only provide funds for students now, but would stay around for years.

login info, told the AP she doesn't think employers have a right to demand such personal information.
Following these reports, the Department of Justice was tasked with determining the legality of such requests. Results, it said, were varied and inconclusive.
This proposed bill comes after reports last year of employers in at least five states requesting to browse employees' accounts, according to the AP.
"As a user, you shouldn't be forced to share your private information just to get a job," said Erin Egan, Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer, in the statement.
She explained that this policy is in place to protect both employees as well as employers, warning that use of online material in the hiring process may open employers up to claims of discrimination and potential litigation.
Facebook issued a statement soon after, sharply criticizing such employers and stating that dissemination of a Facebook password is a violation of their Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
Egan added that Facebook takes privacy seriously and promises to take action to protect the privacy and security of its users, whether by "engaging policymakers or by initiating legal action."
Meanwhile, some local social media experts find Kansas' new bill somewhat superfluous.
"Legislation like this is merely precautionary," said Aaron Deacon, president of Social Media Club of Kansas City (SMCKC). "It's really a question of whether
you should make laws in advance or when there is a problem."
Deacon, who is also the managing director of KC Digital Drive, an innovation team working with Google to bring record Internet speeds to the Kansas City area, said he favored education over new legislation.
Dave Greenbaum, a Lawrence computer repair technician, described using both resume material and mutual friends to isolate someone online for review and added that he has no need to ask for passwords because the information is in plain sight.
"People have to understand that any indiscretions can be brought to more and more people online," he said, adding that it is the responsibility of online communities like SMCKC to teach individuals as well as employers online etiquette.
"I can completely understand why employers want this information," Greenbaum said. "Many times, it's more about learning the nuances of the applicant that can't be derived from a simple interview."
In a March 2012 blog post, Greenbaum offered multiple alternatives to full-fledged snooping for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google + and praised online review.
"Since Twitter is 'in the moment' I get a keener picture of their personality," Greenbaum wrote in his blog post. "Are they hotheaded? Are they a complainer? What do they choose to share and why?"

Genuine Imitation, the University's a cappella group, will be going to the International Competition of Collegiate A Capella semifinals on March 20. It will compete against 216 different teams.
University a cappella group heads to semifinals
REID EGGLESTON
reggleston@kansan.com
Coming off its highest tournament finish since the program's inception 10 years ago, Genuine Imitation, KU's premiere a cappella group is primed for a semifinal showdown on March 20.
The group will compete against the Midwest region's top-five performing clubs in the annual International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella, or ICCA.
The 17-member program defeated other groups across the region last Saturday on its way to a second place finish in the quarter-finals of the ICCA at Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo.
Nationally, 216 teams compete in the quarterfinals to master the fields of intonation, blend, soloist performance, choreography and musical arrangement. In a 12-minute routine, Genuine Imitation has made KU history with its now
award-winning mash-up.
"It was overwhelming for sure," he said. "I felt extreme happiness and validation that all the hard work going in really made us into something worth considering for placing."
Chris Salvitch, the group's music director and a junior from Lansing, recalls the moment it won the second place ribbon.
From the chorus of sopranos, altos, tenors and basses to the vocal percussionist who supplied the choir's instrumental-sounding hip-hop and drum beats, all cylinders clicked in rhythm to outlast competitive teams from Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
Andrew Shaw, a member of the group and a junior from Shawnee, likens the ICCA to the competition in the movie "Pitch Perfect," but he acknowledges that the team aspect that is evolved from the music-making process could never be captured on the silver screen
alone.
And members claim group cohesion as the reason for snagging the coveted hardware on Saturday.
"The run we had this year was due to our great soloists," Shaw said. "We've always been good in this area ... but for the first time in Jayhawk history, we grabbed best soloist performance at the competition, a landmark for the future success of Kansas a cappella."
But harmony didn't come without practice. In fact, it was the trials preceding the competition that molded Genuine Imitation into the prize-winning program it has become.
At the beginning of the year, the program lost four veteran members to various commitments. A hole, inconceivable at the time, developed.
"We had auditions halfway through the semester," Salvitch said. "We lost a few people. I can't even imagine what it would have
been like without them. It hasn't been perfect. It's been a learning experience."
Today, they look back on the setback as definitive with four new members on board who helped them defeat the Mizzou squad in Springfield.
"In establishing that bond, it's surprising how the dynamic of the group can change how we individually sing," Salavitch said. "The new people melded into the group. That's one of the biggest reasons we did so well here."
Despite the accolades, members agree that at the core of the experience is the camaraderie. They note that their efforts may have been all for naught had the group lacked the melodic diversity that highlighted the team's strengths.
"It's an interesting mish-mash of people," said Matt Russell, business director of Genuine Imitation and a junior from Topeka. "You get a bunch of different majors. We have
people from all over from different backgrounds. It's a very interesting dynamic. It's fun, but it's fun in a different way."
The group recognizes the workload ahead of them in the runup to the regional semifinal and national competitions. But six-hour weekend'rehearsals and upcoming philanthropic events in Lawrence, Kansas City and Topeka in the next few weeks are aimed to pare down the team's rougher edges.
And with competition on its radar such as a Nebraska squad that, last weekend, accumulated more points than any other team in the nation, this will be a crucial element to fulfilling its search for a satisfying close to the year.
"We're going to have some work to do before then, but I think we can do it," Russell said. "We can go all the way to nationals. All we need is a shot."

REGIONAL Accident hospitalizes Holton cheerleader
HOLTON, Kan. — A northeast Kansas high school cheerleader is expected to undergo at least two more surgeries after her team's van rolled off an icy road and into a ditch.
WIBW-TV reports Christa Merriman already has had surgery to reconstruct her nose after the accident Friday night as she and fellow Holton cheerleaders were coming home from a game. The van carrying Christa, three teammates and their supervisor hit black ice on a bridge just north of Topeka and went into the ditch.
Christa says everyone had their seatbelts on, but she somehow ended up in a storage part of the van.
She was still in the hospital Monday evening and says she will have at least two surgeries to fix fractured vertebrae and a ruptured disk.

Children's suspensions renew debate over 'zero tolerance'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Waiting in line for the bus, a Pennsylvania kindergarten tells her pals she's going to shoot them with a Hello Kitty toy that makes soap bubbles. In Maryland, a 6-year-old boy pretends his fingers are a gun during a playground game of cops and robbers. In Massachusetts, a 5-year-old boy attending an after-school program makes a gun out of Legos and points it at other students while "simulating the sound of gunfire," as one school official put it.
Some school officials are taking the latter view, suspending or threatening to suspend small children over behavior their parents consider perfectly normal and age-appropriate — even now, with schools in a state of heightened sensitivity following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in December.
Kids with active imaginations? Or potential threats to school safety?
The extent to which the Newtown, Conn., shooting might influence educators' disciplinary decisions is unclear. But parents contend administrators are projecting adult fears onto children who know little about the massacre of 20 first-graders and six educators, and who certainly pose no threat to anyone.
son, was suspended by Mount Carmel Area School District in eastern Pennsylvania last month for making a "terroristic threat" with the bubble gun. "They're treating them as mini-adults, making them grow up too fast, and robbing them of their imaginations."
"It horrible what they're doing to these kids," said Kelly Guarna, whose 5-year-old daughter, Madi-
"It's horrible what they're doing to these kids. They're treating them as mini-adults..."
KELLY GUARNA Parent of suspended student
Mary Czajkowski, superintendent of Barnstable Public Schools in Hyannis, Mass., acknowledged that Sandy Hook has teachers and parents on edge. But she defended Hyannis West Elementary School's warning to a 5-year-old boy who chased his classmates with a gun held made from plastic building blocks, saying the student didn't listen to the teacher when she told him repeatedly to stop.
"Given the heightened awareness and sensitivity, we must do all that we can to ensure that all students and adults both remain safe and feel safe in schools." Czajkowski said in a statement. "To dismiss or overlook an incident that results in any member of our school community feeling unsafe or threatened would be irresponsible and negligent."
The boy's mother, Sheila Cruz-Cardosa, said school officials are responding irrationally in the wake of Sandy Hook. She said they should be concentrating on "high school kids or kids who are more of a threat, not an innocent 5-year-old who's playing with Legos."
Though Newtown introduces a wrinkle to the debate, the slew of recent high-profile suspensions over perceived threats or weapons infractions has renewed old questions about the wisdom of "zero tolerance" policies.
Conceived as a way to improve school security and maintain consistent discipline and order, zero tolerance was enshrined by a 1994 federal law that required states to mandate a minimum one-year expulsion of any student caught with a firearm on school property. Over the years, many states and school districts expanded zero tolerance to include offenses as varied as fighting, skipping school or arguing with a teacher.
Some experts say there's little evidence that zero tolerance — in which certain infractions compel automatic discipline, usually suspension or expulsion — makes schools safer, and contend the policies leads to increased rates of dropouts and involvement with the juvenile justice system. Supporters respond that zero tolerance is a useful and necessary tool for removing disruptive kids from the classroom, and say any problems stem from its misapplication.

BIG JAY, WILL YOU MARRY ME?
This Pyramid Pizza is pretty good, but not as awesome as the article said it was going to be.
The first time I was ever pooped on by a bird was right after the KU football team had lost its first game last semester... Explain the good luck in that, please?
Everyone is out doing the Harlem Shake, and I'm just sitting here study-
I respect the Phog more than you know. That being said, it's been since before college started that I've watched a game there sober.
What is it that prompts people to scratch things into bathroom stalls?
I love it when the campus Internet decides to challenge the weather to a fickle contest.
For Lent, would it be acceptable to give up pop except for when mixed with liquor?
I just saw not one, but TWO people running with their backpacks. My mornine is made.
Passing by all the senior day tour groups make me a bit concerned for the future of our student population.
Wand. Obviously, I choose a wand.
I shouldn't be in class, its Presidents Day!
If you haven't skipped class for basketball camping, you're doing it wrong.
This is easy! A sonic, oh but wait...
That doesn't work on wood. OK wand, but lightsaber is awesome... But so are bow ties, and go with the sonic. Uffda...
Bow tie.
I wish just once I could actually nut up when I think a girl looks pretty and say it! Maybe I'd actually have a chance with someone.
Lightsaber. Always lightsaber.
I pick wand. Always a wand.
Not all frat guys are the same. I'm a nonsorority girl dating the sweetest fraternity guy. Don't stereotype.
I saw Perry Ellis sitting by himself in the Underground and felt bad for him. You can always join me for lunch, Perry!

MEMES
After asking if we get a study guide for our exam, our teacher says. "You don't know me, I don't know you." So is that a no?
If she didn't have to choose between Bulasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, he's too young for you, bro.
Harlem Shake takes over the web
Technology has created a wonderful world full of instantaneous ways of becoming famous for all of a few seconds. Now, the trend is to turn those seconds into a phenomenon that spreads like wildfire.
If you have not noticed the latest trend on YouTube, then you probably live in a box. The Harlem Shake did not begin as a viral half-minute video but rather as a dance move created in the 1980s and made famous by rap artists like P. Diddy and G-Dep's in their "Let's Get It" music video. According to InsideHoops.com, a man named Al B took credit for inventing the Harlem Shake in 2003.
"I'm from Harlem, and the Harlem Shake came from Al B," said Al B in the InsideHoops.com.
interview. "It's a drunken shake anyway, but it's an alcohol shake, but it's fantastic, everybody loves it and everybody appreciates it. And it's glowing with glory"
In 2012, Harry Rodrigues, aka "Baauer," a 23-year-old producer from Brooklyn, N.Y., released a song called "Harlem Shake." The tune became popular in the electronic dance music genre, but did not hit mainstream until comic Filthy Frank published a YouTube video of him and his friends dressed in bodysuits dancing to Baauer's song on Feb. 2.
By Jordan Warren
jwarren@kansan.com
Next, a longboarding crew from Sunshine Coast, Australia, known as TSCS, established the viral form seen in all other Hariem Shake videos. From there, it sparked the addition of more videos that, according to YouTube
Trends Blog, have 175 million views. Simply entering "Harlem Shake" into the search field on YouTube finds about 59,700 results.
Some of you may find these videos hilarious and others may find them stupid, but has the craze ended? My roommates and I found the videos while watching the Grammys and watched at least 20 before turning our attention back to music's big
night. Now I hear people say they are fed up with it and it has only been a little over two weeks since the meme emerged. Moreover, it has nothing to do with the original dance.
lar videos include the offices of Maker Studios, the University of Georgia's pool, the Norwegian army ranks, and introduce Matt & Kim's New York concert. Both "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" have even published videos.
Bauer used the line, "Then do the Harlem shake," to title his song after Plastic Little, a Philadelphia party rap crew, first rapped the line in the song "Miller Time." The story is Plastic Little member Jayson Musson got into a fight with a rival graffiti artist in 2001 and ended it by dancing the Harlem Shake at the other artist.
However, the trend this month has not been to promote the original Harlem Shake but only to move about in maniacal ways to Baauer's "Harlem Shake" tune. A few of the most popu-
Saturday night, our very own KU Men's Basketball team joined the craze, and Big Jay led a second video in the student section. No matter if you like it, the Harlem Shake has become a part of pop culture if only for 30 seconds. Now, it is your turn. Go ahead; shake things up, Harlem style.

COMFORT ZONE
Change after graduation can be a good thing for us
Many students are afraid to graduate right now or move to a new
state. Stability is comfortable, and the idea of change is frightening. Leaving your life behind friends and history - seems crazy. It is tempting to stay in the same place with the same people and never change.
By Patricia Siqueiros psiqueiros@kansan.com
I learned that no matter where you go or stay, change will always follow. It is inevitable, so you might as well be the one controlling it.
After graduation, many of your closest friends may move or marry, and as much as we want to stay in college forever, we cannot. A life-changing decision will come whether we want it or not. And if we are not moving, what are we really doing?
Several students at the University have a multicultural background, and I am one of them. Because of my dad's job in the U.S. Foreign Service, I lived in three different countries. I was originally born in Texas and I moved to Vancouver, Canada when I was three. After living in Vancouver for four years I moved to Brazil, where I spent 10 years of my life. To top it off my parents are Mexican, making me grow up among even more cultures. This experience gave me the ability to be fluent
in three languages and have a global perspective of the world. I am also more understanding towards international students because I can relate to their experience.
At the same time, I had to deal with saying goodbye to many friends, restarting my life and learning a new language. It made me value how precious friendships are and how distance can tell you who your friends really are. It can be hard, but it has made me very adaptive and passionate about different cultures. Most importantly, it made me embrace moving.
I feel I can move anywhere now. I am not a rare case, many young adults have childhoods like mine, or some students have often changed states. It is not a unique experience. What matters is getting a lesson out of it.
that I have spent in Kansas, I have made many new friends and established a completely new life again. Sure moving to a new place, where you do not know a single soul is hard at first, and there is so much you have to get rid of physical and personally. But it forces you to get out of your comfort zone and have new adventures.
As an experienced mover, I can assure it is worth it. I still stay in touch with closest friends from Brazil. In the past five years
NOSTALGIA
When applying to jobs, make sure to not limit your choices to only one state, city or street. Look at other places. We often envision ourselves in different places and make plans. The truth is most of the time, things do not go exactly as planned. I thought I would go to a university in New York, and I saw myself walking to Central Park on my break between classes. That obviously did not happen. But so far, I have had the best four years of my life.
Change does not have to be a different location, it can be something simple. Just make sure you do something different. It makes life interesting.

Music can take you back in time
W when I sit down to write, I usually try to have a topic already
in my head and a beginning thesis.
Once I have that completed, I will put my iTunes on shuffle to keep me focused.
Music is playing and my thoughts are flowing. Then this one song came through my speakers and it instantly brought me back in time.
Then it dawned on me; Music has the amazing ability to bring us back into the past because of the certain memories we attach to certain songs.
I never realized it until now, and I was shocked because I haven't heard the song in a few years, but I still have a connection to it. It brought me back to the first time I ever went snowboarding. The memories were so vivid that it actually felt like I was reliving that moment in time.
Before you call me crazy, stop and think about it because I'm sure it has happened to you. Let's face it, we have all heard those classic songs come onto the radio that bring us back in time to an old school dance, your favorite warm-up song or even fun nights out with your friends. But what is it about music that creates such graphic memories?
Hear me out, the power of music is great, but it affects each individual differently. While listening to music, it is easy to have a change in emotion. Certain songs have the power to make you feel more happy with yourself while other songs can make you feel blue and down on yourself.
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
But music is also a time capsule. For example, whenever you hear your favorite song, it can take you back to the very first time you heard it. You will be able to remember where and what you were doing when you first heard it. Or your favorite pump-up song will take you back to the time when you would listen to it every time you had a game to get ready for. It is natural to attach important memories to certain songs, and when we hear that song play, those vivid memories instantly fill your thoughts.
The experience can feel quite intense. It is not all mental, but physical as well. Daydreaming about the past while listening to your favorite songs can bring chills to your body. This makes for an almost surreal experience as you can feel the memories run through your body.
So it is safe to say scientists may not have figured out time travel just yet, but we do have the next best thing, and that is music to take us back in time.

Most trends from 2012 are so loved that designers are keeping them around for another year. Keep any leather, velvet, plaid or floral pieces you've got, as they were hot trends on New York's runways last week.
Bravo's reality TV star and stylist-turned-designer Rachel Zoe had an equestrian- and 1970s-themed line. Critics described Zoe's line as more mature than previous collections, with refined pieces and leather on almost every look. A common piece seen on runways that Zoe also had? The unexpected sweatshirt.
Velvet was also seen in both Marc Jacobs' and Ralph Lauren's collections. The fabric was seen in reds, pinks and greens. Lauren included the fabric on maxi skirts, gowns and jacket detailing. Jacobs' show's inspiration was rumored to be centered around the "walk of shame," with scantily clad models showing off major skin.
Other trends seen on several runways were plaid, baroque patterns and floral prints. Cape-like jackets were another repeat, as were platform-less pumps and boots. Footwear is a key way to stay fashion-forward this year. Tom Ford and Alexander Wang stuck to the Roman gladiator theme and used knee-high styles on their footwear. Also seen frequently were see-through accessories. Burberry, Chanel and Givench all included
this trend in their purses and shoes for later this year. Versace kept fringe jewelry around for another season in its line, as did Nina Ricci. Heavy metal jewelry and black and white prints are also here to stay. Newer looks include gypsy-themed styles, large totes, oversized edgy shades and thick-heeled shoes.
Fall and Winter 2013 designs include something old and something new. Keep your clothing styles from last year, but be sure to update your footwear, handbags and other accessories. The biggest changes are taking place in the smaller parts of outfits for the end of this year.

Australian indie rock band releases first full-length album
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
Atlas Genius, an indie rock band from Adelaide, Australia, released its debut full-length album today. This band of brothers from down under consists of Keith (vocal/guitar), Michael (drums) and Steven Jeffery (bass), as well as Darren Sell (keyboard).
The name of the band comes from the fact that two of the members have incredible map-reading skills.
The band's first EP, titled "Through the Glass", was released last June and included its hit single "Trojans." The single was the first
song that the foursome wrote, recorded and produced in their studio. Michael felt that since they all had a lot of ideas for songs, "it was important for us to have our own studio where we could experiment and hone in on our sound."
According to the band's bio, they all "devoted their days to constructing their dream studio and spent their nights performing songs by The Police, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones at local pubs to pay the bills."
Soon enough, the offers started rolling in. Several record labels expressed their interest in signing the band. In order to make their decision, a trip to America became necessary. Last April, the band signed with Warner Bros. Records.
"We felt a connection with them," Keith said in the band's bio. "Everyone there feels very creative and dedicated to the music."
Realizing that the music industry is a hard one to break into, the band originally never expected much to come of its music. Just a few years ago, their main focus was on their studies and work. After the success of just one song though, they could sense they were onto something that deserved more time and attention.
Keith expressed his changed per
spective on the band's bio.
"Knowing we had this audience that was waiting on new songs, we had a much greater sense of purpose than we had before," Keith said. "It was really exciting to know that there were people who wanted to hear more of our music."
The new album, titled "When It Was Now", is currently available and can be purchased on iTunes or the band's website as a CD or digital album.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: Four
ESPN.com
This past weekend, while camping outside of Allen Fieldhouse in the freezing cold for College Game-
freezing cold for College Game day, I asked a friend of mine a question that many people around the nation are still trying to figure out: What is the best team in college basketball today?
After taking a long look at the rankings and the resumes of teams that could potentially be No. 1, I have come up with my own top-10 in no particular order because it is too difficult to decide: Indiana, Duke, Miami, Arizona, Florida, Gonzaga, Butler, Michigan, Michigan State and Kansas.
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
On paper, Indiana may be the most talented team, with forward Cody Zeller and guard Victor Oladipo as potential All-Americans, but losing to unranked Wisconsin and a then-unranked Butler — one of which was on its home floor — certainly does not help its cause.
As far as Duke is concerned, it beat three top five teams within two weeks earlier in the year; however, not having forward Ryan Kelly in the lineup is a major loss, and I'm sure the loss at Miami is one Coach Krzyzewski wants to forget.
Miami has a solid veteran starting five and is an exciting team to watch. It has gained the respect it deserves by dismantling teams in the ACC, but it, too, has had terrible losses to Indiana State, Florida Gulf Coast and Arizona.
Arizona started the season by winning its first 14 games before losing to unranked Oregon, but even it beat Florida,
which is a great shooting team.
Florida has one of the best front lines, consisting of center Patrick Young and forward/center Erik Murphy, but losing to Arkansas certainly hurts its case.
Gonzaga might be one of the most consistent teams this year, as is has steamrolled through the WCC. However, it also lost to Illinois when it was ranked, and it lost to Butler by one point at the buzzer.
Even though Butler has had ugly loses, it has the potential to be a top team, as it beat No. 1 Indiana and a ranked UNC.
Michigan was a No. 1 team at one point and has a Player of the Year candidate in guard Trey Burke, but it has lost three of its last five games, including against Indiana and Michigan State.
Michigan State has the toughest remaining schedule and has lost to some good teams, but has had quality victories as well, including against Kansas.
KU
Kansas has the potential to be a National Championship contender, but senior
guard Elijah Johnson's inconsistent play is a major setback, and senior center Jeff Withey's post work could use some improvement.
As we head into the latter-half of the season, it will certainly be exciting, preparing us for yet another unpredictable March Madness.

Legendary Lakers owner dies from kidney failure
LOS ANGELES — Jerry Buss, the Los Angeles Lakers' playboy owner who shepherded the NBA team to 10 championships from the Showtime dynasty of the 1980s to the Kobe Bryant era, died Monday. He was 80.
Buss had been hospitalized for
most of the past 18 months while undergoing cancer treatment, but the immediate cause of death was kidney failure, Steiner said. With his condition worsening in recent weeks, several prominent former Lakers visited Buss to say goodbye.
Under Buss' leadership since
"The NBA has lost a visionary owner whose influence on our league is incalculable and will be felt for decades to come," NBA Commissioner David Stern said.
1979, the Lakers became Southern California's most beloved sports franchise and a worldwide extension of Hollywood glamour. Buss acquired, nurtured and befriended a staggering array of talented players and basketball minds during his Hall of Fame tenure, from Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard.
"He was a great man and an incredible friend," Johnson tweeted.
Few owners in sports history can approach Buss' accomplishments with the Lakers, who made the NBA finals 16 times during his nearly 34 years in charge, winning 10 titles between 1980 and 2010. With 1,786 victories, the Lakers easily are the NBA's winningest franchise since he bought the club, which is now run largely by Jim Buss and Jeanie Buss, two of his six children.
"We not only have lost our cherished father, but a beloved man
of our community and a person respected by the world basketball community," the Buss family said in a statement issued by the Lakers.
"It was our father's often-stated desire and expectation that the Lakers remain in the Buss family. The Lakers have been our lives as well, and we will honor his wish and do everything in our power to continue his unparalleled legacy."
Buss was a "cornerstone of the Los Angeles sports community
and his name will always be synonymous with his beloved Lakers." Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. "It was through his stewardship that the Lakers brought 'Showtime' basketball and numerous championship rings to this great city. Today we mourn the loss and celebrate the life of a man who helped shape the modern landscape of sports in L.A."

Jayhawks' confidence at an all-time high
Big 12 road trips are, by nature, quite hostile. The trip to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State, the team that handed Kansas its first loss of the three-game losing streak, is one of the toughest in the conference. Add to the ferocity of Gallager-Iba arena the fact that the Jayhawks enter the game tied for first place in the conference with the Cowboys, and there's no better time than the present for a surge in confidence.
For Kansas players, coaches and fans this return to confidence had to happen and happen right now.
Because the Jayhawks are in the homestretch. The stretch of unfinished Big 12 business that makes or breaks Big 12 conference pionships. The toughest games of the 2013 stretch for the Jayhawks won't take place in the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse.
Why the sense of urgency?
4032781659
In seeking to regain sole ownership of the Big 12, Kansas faces two of the toughest scoring guards in the conference in Marcus Smart and Markel Brown.
In their first meeting at Allen Fieldhouse, Brown scored 19 points in the first 15 minutes of play in the first half. In the second, Smart took over, scoring 15 points to cap the Cowboys' 85-80 victory on James Naismith Court. The win snapped a 33-game home winning streak for the Jawhaws.

It's no secret. Kansas has its confidence back.
"We'll find out a lot more about ourselves on Wednesday," coach Bill Self said. "That'll be as hard of a game as we have this year going to Stillwater and winning."
The door is wide open in the Big 12. A victory Wednesday night would put Kansas in control of its own destiny. Take care of business in the games you have to win, and a ninth straight title banner is on its way.
As much as it hurt at the time, the loss may be just the ammunition the Jayhawks needed to ensure a victory in Stillwater. Revenge is a powerful motivational tool in sports. This time around, the Jayhawks have even more to play for.
The combination of the environment of Gallagher-Iba, conference standings and the revenge factor make Wednesday night's match-up in Stillwater the toughest the Jayhawks will see in this regular season. Many fans questioned the toughness of this Jayhawk team during the three-game losing streak. Recent wins have quelled the anxiety, but the question still lingers.

The scoreboard read 8-7 in favor of the Jayhawks, but that quickly changed as Gerig's two-strike double rallied the Wolfpack for a third time, scoring two runs and sealing Nevada's 9-7 victory.
Nevada Wolfpack pinch-hitter Brad Gerig walked to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.
"You just have to keep battling through it," senior shortstop Kevin Kuntz said. "It was back and forth the whole game. Obviously, it was tough, slipping on that one throw away early. You just have to compete in every innings."
The Jayhawks held three leads in Monday's game four matchup with the wolfpack. The Jayhawks started the scoring in the first inning, posting a run after Kevin Kuntz scored on an Alex DeLeon sac fly.
"With the bat change, it's become an emphasis for a lot of teams in college baseball," Price said. "We're trying to do the same thing. We're trying to start runners and steal bases and play hit-and-run. When you do that well, you put a lot of pressure on the opposing club."
"It was a well-played baseball game," coach Ritch Price said. "For the opening series of the year for two clubs, all four games were very well played. It was very competitive, and we had the opportunity to win three out of four and couldn't get that final out."
The game continued in shootout fashion, with the Jayhawks giving up two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to set up the 8-7 deficit that carried into the ninth inning.
In game one, Kansas pitcher Frank Duncan led the Jayhawks to an 11-4 victory over future top-
"It's my game, so I'm really comfortable with that." Kuntz said. "I just do what I can, like hit the ball on the ground, to try to move runners up. I can lay down the sac bunt if I need to. It's always been my game, so I just try to do it the best I can."
This aggression on the base paths became a part of Coach Price's philosophy after the NCAA adopted its BBCOR regulations in 2010.
15 Major League prospect Bradley Shipley. The Jayhawks posted seven runs in the eighth inning to claim a victory in the first game of the year.
Kansas closer Robert Kahana drew the task of closing out the Wolfpack. Kahana entered the game in the eighth inning after the Jayhawks had used four other members of the bullpen. In his
"You have to be one of the most competitive guys in America," Price said. "It's one of those things when you throw a pitch that's borderline, if it's called a ball, you have to find a way to fight through that thing and literally compete every single pitch. You have to locate, and you have to grind."
Kahana got his first taste of a closer's pressure packed task this season with runners on late in a close game.
two-inning appearance, Kahana recorded two strikeouts and two walks, allowing two earned runs on three hits.
The Jayhawks continued to focus on the base paths continue to produce in Monday's up-and-down battle.
"We just needed to come out there with a lot of energy and just be aggressive and jump on the pitcher early," Kuntz said. "We just wanted to hit the pitcher early in the game and make their starter go a lot of pitches and get to their bullpins. That seemed to work out late in the game today."
In game two, Kansas suffered a 2-1 defeat, in which Kansas couldn't muster the needed run support for a late game victory.
"I thought our pitching was fabulous." Price said. "I compliment their pitching. They grinded, they competed. We had opportunities, and the same guys who struggled today are the same guys who got base hits in game one."
"It's always nice to back up startin-
pitching like we did," senior
third baseman Jordan Dreilling
said. "We gave them that extra
fight late in the games. When Wes
goes out and pitches as well as he
did, it's on us hitters to go out and
finish the job."
In Sunday's game three, the Jayhawks won 6-3 with another solid pitching performance.
The Jayhawks return home to face the Northwestern Wildcats in a four-game series over the weekend. The Jayhawks will start Frank Duncan in game one with first pitch coming at 3 p.m. in Hogland Ballpark.

Johnson's energy invigorates team
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
"When Ben sees me smiling, he smiles harder," Johnson said after defeating Kansas State last week. "When Travis sees me feeling confident, he feels more confident. When I'm doing things the right way, Jeff feels better. When I come in feeling great, everybody feeds off it."
If you looked closely at Elijah Johnson the last two games,you might have noticed something different about Kansas' senior point guard.
The Jayhawks have been feeling great. They're riding back-to-back victories of more than 20 points into a Wednesday night showdown at Oklahoma State — the school that knocked Kansas into its funk — looking to avenge a rare loss at Allen Fieldhouse.
He's been holding himself higher, acting more confident and showing it in ways that haven't been seen in some weeks. He's laughing again, having fun — the whole team is, but it's Johnson who's the catalyst behind it all.
The chemistry that highlighted a dominant run in December seems to have returned. We hadn't seen the Jayhawks' happy dance around since a video was released of them celebrating in the locker room after a statement victory at Ohio State on Dec. 22.. Now they're Harlem Shaking before practices.
"I stepped out of my comfort zone doing it, and I think everybody felt the same way," Johnson said of making the Harlem Shake video. "It turned into us having so
much energy, and then, when we went into practice, it carried over. It makes us realize there's not too much time left. Enjoy it."
It wasn't the classic bonding montage from every sports movie, but it was close enough, and it came at a time in the season when Kansas needed it most.
Johnson said the team hadn't been able to enjoy themselves lately. That the Jayhawks were playing for other people instead of themselves, and the fun that was
"There's not a team in America that has fun every time they play at the same consistent level."
BILL SELF Men's Basketball Coach
present in the beginning of the season was nowhere to be found.
Perhaps that's why coach Bill Self was adamant that his group was playing on borrowed time at the start of conference play.
"There're not a team in America that has fun every time they play at the same consistent level," Self said after defeating Texas. "You go through ruts, and you kind of lose your personality, but I think we've got our personality back."
That personality came in the form of freshman guard Ben McLemore dancing in a chicken suit, junior guard Niko Roberts fox-trotting in footed pajamas and junior forward Justin Wesley doing his best caveman impression.

If a dance party translates to team unity, the last two games might as well be discos — Withey Block Party videos not withstanding.
"It shows team unity," Self said. "I think our fans like seeing that our guys are real. That's as much as anything for us."
"Coach has been getting on us about being fast a lot," sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe said after the K-State game. "He tells us to just go out there and play. I felt like a lot of times, we really weren't running any sets; we were just out there playing together, and the game was flowing."
Maybe that's what's been making the Jayhawks smile more lately. Maybe it's the victories, but more likely it's a combination. The team is executing in all facets of the game, and that's no accident.
The next time Kansas finds itself lacking the enthusiasm that has seemingly put the team back on track, at least it'll have taped evidence of what it was like to enjoy each other.
"Right now, it's something we can look back on and say, 'When we were going through a bad time, this is when it started to get fun,' Johnson said. "We didn't like seeing each other hurt."
There isn't greater evidence of that flow than when Johnson started off the second half against Texas by scoring Kansas' first seven points, each of which came off a big defensive stop.

Spooner Hall, Campanile and other campus buildings accepted to National Register of Historic Places
The Kansas Historical Society's Historic Sites Board of Review that took place on Feb. 9 voted to make the university's campus a historic district. KU's campus is now listed in the Register of Historic Kansas Places and covers the period of 1863-1951.

Joining the ranks of institutions such as the University of California-Berkley and Harvard, the University entered new realms of historical prestige Feb. 9 as certain buildings and areas along Jayhawk Boulevard gained acceptance into the prestigious National Register of Historic Places.
The triumph comes after four years of devising a nomination for the University that would appease local, state and national assemblies in an attempt to preserve the buildings on campus that give the University its historical pride.
Student groups affiliated with the Historic Mount Oread Fund, which is an extension of the KU Endowment Association dedicated to the preservation of KU's buildings and landscapes, were monumental in the approval of the bid.
Along with protection from being razed, the buildings now offer the University access to government funds, such as grants and tax breaks, associated with a spot on the national register.
Brenna Buchanan Young, a
former student associated with HMOF and currently a part-time planner for the City of Lawrence, remembers how her role on the HMOF board has allowed the history associated with the campus to be sustained for years ahead.
"The historical landmark grant gives the University a tool to help finance the maintenance of their buildings," Buchanan Young said. "It helps maintain the sense of pride in being a Jayhawk. Generations after can experience that pride. It gives you that comfort knowing that things can change but they won't be so drastic."
The nomination includes the Spencer Museum of Art and the Campanile. Spooner Hall, built in 1891, is the oldest building included on the registry. The highly competitive application process requires that buildings and landscapes be recognized on historical registers at the local and state level before they become eligible as a national landmark.
KU faculty invested in the preservation of the campus, and contractors who added their expertise to assess which structures would most likely earn approval, determined which boundaries to include in the registry application.
"The process takes a lot of time," Buchanan Young said. "Since our nominating committee met only twice a year, it took a while to get the actual district we would nominate planned out. After we
figured what buildings would be actually included, that's when people really got involved."
HMOF donated $21,000 to contract consultants to push the proposal through all the hoops required to land the University on the National Register of Historic Places.
"What we did was
What we did was we provided expertise to the groups involved," said Edward Martinko, President of HMOF. "There's lots of history tied in to campus and, in the same way, the Historic Mount Oread Fund has a lot of history tied in with the university."
the Getty Report, which signals the initial intent of the University to seek historical registration, to assuring that architecture and engineering experts along with the Provost Office would turn the proposal into a successful endeavor.
Buchanan Young is also proud of the role HMOF played, from filing
"HMOF is really a strong group
"It's not so much about the Rock Chalk chant and waving the wheat. It's about preserving our tradition from the buildings to the bird baths."

Former HMOF boat member
a strong group that students aren't aware of "Buchanan Young said. "Fifty years from now, you can be proud to say this is where I went to school. It's not so much about the Rock Chalk chant and waving the wheat. It's
about preserving our tradition from the buildings to, the bird baths."
While at many times the demands of the application process required the brains of contracting experts, Buchanan Young felt that the student impact of this initiative was undoubtedly present.
"Different members of our
student chapter were observers," Buchanan Young said. "If the HMOF board did want a student perspective, we were in room to ask."
It was Buchanan Young's work on this project that has inspired her to become the secretary of the Historical Mount Oread Friends. She will also take a leadership role in the University's second historical registry proposal, which includes the scholarship halls and the Chancellor's house.
"HMOF does a book series about the history of buildings that are landmarks to the University of Kansas," Buchanan Young said. "The next book is about Watkins Scholarship Hall, which ties into our next nomination. There will be a second nomination coming out pretty quick."
Beyond this, the Fund is also working on an initiative to restore the campus's greener elements.
"We currently have a tree advisory group called Replant Mount Oread," Martinko said. "This was set up to replant trees that are ageing or deceased, and it was launched last year. HMOF with the chancellor, HMOF is working with
many groups, including pretty active student involvement."
Still, former volunteers who participated in the student Historic Mount Oread Fund committee hope that more students will get involved in future historical registry applications. While Buchanan Young admits that contract subject matter can be a bit dense, she and the rest of HMOF encourage students to get involved in the preservation of the University.
"There are student groups actively involved in preservation like the sustainability groups and museum studies groups," Becker Young said. "It would be nice if students did recognize this is a fun place to go to school and really own it—to maintain the integrity of the school and have other generations enjoy it as much as they did."
Advocates of university preservation are content to recognize the role they played in keeping the University's most iconic buildings around for a few more years.
"This is an outstanding step forward. All of us are very excited," Martinko said.

As FAFSA priority date looms, students consider financial options
EMMA LEGAULT
elegualt@kansan.com
The priority date for filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), March 1, is rapidly approaching. And for any student hoping to receive financial aid, the earlier it's filed, the better.
Simply broken down, the FAFSA is the starting point to receiving any kind of financial aid. The results of the FAFSA determine a student's financial need, the gap between what his or her family can afford to pay and what the expected cost of attendance is at the University.
The FAFSA also determines a student's eligibility for federal, school and state assistance, which can be in the form of scholarships, federal loans, grants and work-study. However, there are a couple of common misconceptions about the FAFSA.
MYTH ONE: IT'S FREE MONEY
"People sometimes assume that if they fill it out, they'll automatically get free money, or something like that, which is not the case because it's all need-based," said Noah Quinn, a senior peer educator for the Money Management Center.
Although it isn't free money, filing the FAFSA can enter students into the pool for consideration for federal loans, such as the Federal Stafford Loans and the Parent PLUS Loans, which typically have low interest rates and a grace period after graduation before students must start paying them back.
In some cases, the government provides grants to students with significant financial aid, and that money doesn't need to be repaid.
Unfortunately, just because you fill out the FAFSA does not ensure that free funding will come your way.
"You always want to take as much federal loans as you need first," Quinn said. "You would only turn to something like [the KU Endowment loan] or other private loans if you don't have enough through the free money and then federal loans."
Quinn said federal loans should be the first place students turn to if they still have need. If scholarships and federal aid don't cover the costs, private loans, such as the KU Endowment loan, could be considered as a supplement.
For Alicia Croci, a sophomore from Ottawa, taking out a federal unsubsidized student loan has relieved a part of the financial burden of college.
"Basically I have taken out a loan with my parents, who are paying for my education from their loans," Croci said. "So when
MYTH TWO: NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO FILL IT OUT
I am done with college instead of owing a bank, I'll owe my parents the majority of my college tuition and one-third of it will be taken out in student loans."
However, Croci doesn't qualify for grants or work-study programs, and said the private loan interest rates are too high for her to afford. She believes the FAFSA isn't helpful for families in similar situations.
"I have not completed the FAFSA for this year yet, although it doesn't make a difference," Croci said. "My parents make too much money for me to qualify for any grants but they don't make enough money to actually pay for my college."
Although many students may find themselves in this bind, Quinn said it's still necessary to complete the FAFSA.
"Some people think that they just don't need to fill it out or think that maybe if their parents
make a certain amount, they won't get approved for anything at all so there's no point to it," Quinn said. "But it's actually really important to fill out, even if you're in that type of situation, just because you have to have it filled out to be eligible for KU scholarships."
To be eligible for some departmental and outside scholarships, financial need is taken into account, so the FAFSA is vital to be considered for them.
The FAFSA can be filed at any time between Jan. 1 and June 30, but it must be filed before the priority deadline of March 1 for a student to be considered for limited funding financial aid programs.
Kansas residents can also apply for state aid after filing the FAFSA through the Kansas Board of Regents website. The priority date for state aid is May 1.
THE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR FASFA IS MARCH 1.

Film shows first generation students' struggles
DANON TAYLOR
dtaylor@kansan.com
The importance of the evening's festivities may not have been apparent upon walking into the Kansas Union Monday. Everyone in Woodruff Auditorium was full of laughter, eager to explain the various information tables, answer questions and provide brochures, business cards, beverages and popcorn. After the semi-formal introduction and the lights dimmed, the casual atmosphere faded and a sense of sympathy quickly filled the room as the stories of four California high school seniors flooded the screen.
The film "First Generation" debuted on campus Monday, sponsored by the Center for Educational Opportunity Programs. The center showed in celebration of National TRIO Day, a day meant to bring attention to the needs of disadvantaged young people and adults aspiring to improve their lives.
The film focused on the lives of four low-income, first-generation college students and brought attention the issues and struggles
they faced during their senior year of high school and transition into college.
Many of the CEOP directors and associates attended the screening, but Mulu Negash, director of the McNair Scholars Program, was an adamant supporter of the film and a driving force behind the various programs aimed at helping KU students in similar situations.
"Our goal is to increase the visibility of first-generation students on campus, along with services available to these students," Negah said. "Often times, I have students who are seniors in college come to my office, and it's too late to provide them necessary and essential support for success. This event will allow many students to see the resources available, as well as what it means to be a first-generation college student."
While the transition to college is an obstacle for nearly every freshman, studies show that first-generation students — undergraduates whose parents did not attend a university — and low-income students face greater challenges, and have lower retention and graduation rates than students who had at
least one parent attend college.
"It is difficult for first-generation students to feel like they belong when their peers have points of reference to higher education," Negash said.
"It is difficult for first-generation students to feel like they belong when their peers have points of reference to higher education."
MULU NEGASH
McNair Scholars Program Director
"Some of these students are coming from schools with far less-advanced curriculum, so they come to college unprepared and spend their time catching up instead of moving forward. There is something about having parents that went to college that makes managing and making it in college easier."
Programs such as TRIO, Upward Bound, Talent Search and Harvest of Hope Leadership Academy aim
at keeping first-generation, low-income and minority students on the pursuit of higher education. Some of these programs begin engaging students and introducing the idea of college in the sixth grade.
"These programs all create a community to help students that experience these less than fortunate circumstances, but the disadvantage is that people don't know about them and many students don't even know or consider that it is a disadvantage to be a minority, low-income or first-generation student," Negash said. "We continue to create awareness, but not enough is being done to shed light on who these students are. KU wants to diversify, but doesn't know what troubles these students are facing, and if they don't know than the students make regrettable decisions and the university struggles to help them."
Negash reiterated the importance of these programs and events such as the showing of "First Generation," by saying that the programs have a strong success rate and she feels like students do nearly 100 times better with the programs than without.
Anthony Harris, a freshman and first-generation student from Topeka, said that though his parents didn't go to college, they held him to a higher standard.
"They told me I had to go to college," Harris said. "I'm really lucky to have found Upward because otherwise I would have been trying to do it on my own and I wouldn't have been as successful as I am now."
When the film ended, a panel of 11 first-generation, low-income and minority students from the University and local high schools answered questions in relation to the film and their own personal stories. All 11 students agreed getting to college was only half the battle, and managing your time and priorities, along with seeking out the resources and getting involved was the other half.
"If you don't handle your business when you worked so hard to get here, then you're throwing your money away, and it's too much money to just throw away like that," Harris said.

Gas explosion engulfs Plaza restaurant in flames
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A gas explosion that sparked a massive, block-engulfing blaze in an upscale Kansas City shopping district injured 14 people, a city official said Tuesday evening, adding it is believed that an accident by a utility contractor may have caused the blast.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Earlier Kansas City police had said the blast was caused by a car crashing into a gas main just after 6 p.m. Fire officials said later they were not aware of a crash being involved in the blast. Other witnesses noted street signs in the area indicated utility work was being done in the area, and a worker at a restaurant destroyed in the fire said the facility was being renovated at the time.
City Manager Troy Schulte said he did not know of anyone being reported missing and had not heard of any fatalities.
Police Sgt. Tony Sanders said the manager of JJ's restaurant was unable to account for three people, but it was unclear whether they were caught in the blaze or had left earlier.
"The first thing we need to be concerned about is the people that are injured," said Mayor Sly James, who also praised the work of first responders. James said
officials were in contact with Missouri Gas Energy.
The University of Kansas Hospital was treating five people injured in the blast, said spokesman Bob Hallinan. He said one person was in critical condition, two were in serious condition and two others were expected to be released. He said all the injuries were traumatic, such as broken bones, rather than burns or smoke inhalation.
Kerry O'Connor, a spokeswoman for St. Luke's Hospital, which is near the scene of the fire, said several patients were on the way to the hospital. She said they haven't been assessed yet but "they appear to be critical at this time."
Fire officials didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday evening.
The smell of gas remained very strong near the area long after the suspected explosion.
There were signs that utility work was being done in area. A phone message left Tuesday seeking comment from Missouri Gas Energy was not immediately returned.
Video showed dozens of fire fighters and other emergency responders battling a massive blaze that appeared to have engulfed an entire block.

Kansas state Sen. Julia Lynn, right, an Olathe Republican, asks questions about a proposed amendment to the state constitution to change how appellate court members are selected during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting in January. The committee endorsed the proposal Tuesday.

STATE
Proposal would give Legislature control over public school funding
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A Senate committee on Tuesday endorsed a proposal to amend the Kansas Constitution to give the Legislature sole authority to determine funding for public schools, thereby cutting out the courts.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The proposal comes after a Shawnee County District Court ruled in January that the state's school finance system was unconstitutional and ordered legislators to increase spending by more than $440 million for the next school year.
Supporters say that while the judicial branch has the authority to decide whether legislative policies are constitutional, courts overstep their boundaries when they require increases in state spending on education.
The voice vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee sends the measure to the full Senate, where Republicans outnumber Democrats 32-8. Some senators objected to the
amendment being placed on the August 2014 ballot, saying that's when many families are on vacation and they are the ones most affected by changes in education policy.
"This is about, supposedly, a crucial part of the constitution and state government," said Sen. David Haley, ranking Democrat on the committee from Kansas City. "We want to get the better bang for the buck. I don't know why we wouldn't want to do it."
Sen. Forrest Knox, an Altoona Republican, said voters had to take responsibility for their own actions and go to the polls. The proposed amendment says that only the Legislature can appropriate money, not the courts nor governor, though the chief executive's signature would still be required for any spending bill to take effect.
Twenty-seven of 40 senators and 84 of 125 House members would have to vote for the measure to put the question to voters. Senators approved a similar measure in 2005
by a 30-9 margin, but it failed to gain enough support in the House. Republicans outnumber Democrats in the House 92-33.
In 2005 legislators were responding to a court ruling that found the
school finance formula unconstitutional. In the end, Kansas increased its funding for public education by nearly $1 billion.

Award season brings out the worst in society
Its Feb. 20 and we're smack-dab in the middle of the entertainment industry's equivalent of corporate earnings week. Gossip magazine editors have their teams of "reporters" glued to the phones, each trying to score precious quotes from various superstars such as Ben Affleck, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's left boo.
That means it must be award show season. When "deserving" artists are given a small, gold statuette of either a bald, muscular man or that big, ancient horn thing your great aunt used to play Sinatra records on after dinner. A gray-haired collective of industry bigwigs, known as the "academy," announces their nominees in early winter and lets old women in hair salons gripe endlessly over who they think will emerge as victors in what's really a banal, illogical and corrupt game of "playing favorites."
Much to the dismay of those old women in hair salons, it's all be over with on Sunday after the Academy Awards. And to think the media hasn't even stopped blathering about the Grammys
nine days ago. For many, it's a case of "to much, too fast," but nevertheless, it's almost over.
If you think about it, award shows fall into the same category as Kim Kardashian's pregnancy, whatever trashy demographic MTV decides to make a show about and McDonald's new, gross Fish MCbites: they're all things we so desperately want to avoid, but still mindlessly indulge in. Don't try to act like this doesn't apply to you, either. If you can name one of the Kardashians who isn't Kim, you just lost.
All of those fit into another category, too: Things that can tell you a lot about American popular culture, as a whole.

Let's say you were born and raised in North Korea and you've escaped from your sketchy government and its chubby, pint-sized supreme leader. You've made it across the pond to the U.S. and the first thing you watch on TV - really, your first legitimate exposure to unfiltered American culture - is an award show.
Here's what the Grammys and
Oscars tell you about our pop culture and us:
WE LOVE REPETITION..
If you're good at churning out the same album that you made the last time, you have a damn good shot at winning "Best Album" at the Grammys. Just ask Mumford and Sons.
...BUT, WE ALSO HATE IT?
WHAT?
If you've perfected your own, distinct filmmaking style and have still managed to up the creative ante with each new film, you have a damn good shot at winning next to nothing at the Oscars. We, as a society, continually shovel massive amounts of money into Michael Bay's pockets
each time he pukes out a new "Transformers" flick. So, that should mean we're into repetition when it comes to movies, right? Then, why does the Academy methodically screw directors like Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson, who make all their movies the same way (except, unlike Michael Bay, they're good), out of big awards? I don't know, you tell me.
WE LIE ABOUT HOW COOL WE
ARE.
When "Arge" wins Best Picture on Sunday, a large smattering of us will say something along the lines of, "I thought 'Amour' deserved it." Or "Beasts of the Southern Wild." My parents — who are way more movie-hip than I am — saw and loved both. But let's be honest, maybe a thousand other people actually saw neither. "A Good Day to Die Hard" was the number one film in the box office last week. That alone should tell you that no one actually sat through a French film about old people dying, but that doesn't stop us from lying about it.
WE LIKE BOOBS MORE THAN WE LIKE MOVIES OR MUSIC
Look at all the tabloids littering the shelves of grocery store checkouts for the next month. These days, side-boob draws more water in the entertainment industry than musical or theatric achievement. It's not just boobs, though; the stupider the story, the longer we drowl over it after the show's over. "Why didn't Chris Brown stand up when Frank Ocean got a standing ovation?" It's because he's Chris Brown. End of story. Everyone immediately stops caring about who won or lost and gossips about stupid things like that for months. If you want to get metaphorical here, you could call this stuff the sideboob of modern award shows.
And if you want to get really metapherical here, you can go ahead and call modern award shows the side-boob of American pop culture.

POLITICS
Government shouldn't force teams to play basketball
Our state legislators have enough to worry about without trying
to disrupt the sovereignty of Bill Self and the athletic department. Michael O'Donnell, a Kansas Senator from Wichita, proposed legislation to do just that. O'Donnell made a proposal to force the Jayhawks and the Wichita State Shockers to play annual basketball games.
This is not a question of the merit of the Shockers basketball team or whether it would benefit the lajhawks to play them, but whether it is a political issue.
By Clay Cosby
ccosby@kansan.com
It is not.
At first glance this proposal is obviously silly, even laughable to think of the state getting involved in scheduling basketball games, but it comes off as an innocent ploy. At second blush, it resembles something much darker and far more sinister. O'Donnell's actions provide insight into a psyche that personifies recklessness and irresponsibility that characterizes our state government, and in this case, a thoughtless abuse of power. The stench is so repugnant that it has people from James Naismith to Thomas Jefferson rolling in their graves.
If this seems like a stretch, examine the original proposal. It contained a punitive clause for
reprehensive action to be taken against the universities for failing to comply in the form of state funding cuts.
The proposal was later changed to take out the puniive clause and add Kansas State Wildcats to the bill.
The State of Kansas has already cut state funding to higher education, and O'Donnell was quick to throw students under the bus again when he tied the bill to funding. However the principles shown through his actions on his initial proposal are much more telling than that O'Donnell came to his senses and took it out.
Are our Kansas Senators drafting legislation so carelessly that they do not consider the consequences of their legislation? By leaving Kansas State out of the bill the first time, Ø'Donnell invalidated his own argument that the three division I schools be forced to be on a level field.
O'Donnell's draft was a look into his priorities. When he left Kansas State out, he made it clear that it is not about benefiting the state or enhancing competition, but about a Shockers fan that wants to see his team in the spotlight and is willing to abuse his power to make it happen. O'Donnel has admitted that this bill is not a high priority and he does not want it to distract from more important legislation, but what then does that say about where students rank on his priorities?
The issue here is that these politicians need to stay out of basketball. Maybe playing Wichita State would not be a bad idea and there are plenty of students who would like to see it happen, but leave it up to the coaches and athletic directors. I trust Bill Self's judgment.
Deep seeded misjudgment and thoughtlessness has permeated our state government, and students have been the victims. Education funding is not something to play with.

News flash: social media ruins lives
Every morning when I wake up, before I roll out of bed to brush my teeth, before I reach for that family-size box of Cap'n Crunch above my refrigerator, before I sleepily fumble around my apartment looking for my shoe that I drunkenly threw off the night before upon entering my abode, I check my phone.
At first glance I notice a few iMessages, some emails and today's Groupon alert, but after that lock screen is open, there's only one thing on my mind: Facebook.
Four years ago, as a freshman here at the University, Facebook was still coming into its own, much like I was. The basic idea was there, but every so often it still had growth spurts and awkward months of pseudo-maturity. As I became an adult during my time at the University, so did Facebook become more self-sufficient and capable. When I would make a friend in real life, my Facebook would make a new friend in Facebook life. If something funny happened in class, Facebook would know before my best friends. We were buddies, pals, compadres, amigos, even "BFFs."
I almost feel as if Facebook considers me that naggy friend who always wants to hang out.
"Hey Facebook! How are you? What are you up to? How are my friends?"
But where am I now?
"Why don't you just ask them for yourself?" Facebook might ask, but secretly he, or she if you want, craves the attention. He's like the drug dealer who seems all nice and cool at first, but once you're hooked he manipulates you. Slowly you watch your life spiral out of control and into a vegetative state of social overstimulation. I liken it to one of those advertisements I've seen about meth: "Not even once."
I can see myself sitting in my chair at home, in front of my desk, wearing the protective coating on my Apple Magic Mouse down to the aluminum.

bcrawford@kansan.com
eyes fixated on the LCD display in front of me, slowly reaching that calm, comatose like state where nothing really matters but my sweet, adoring Facebook love.
Has this issue been written about before? Of course. But do we really understand the ramifications of our neglect? Have we truly grasped the gravity of the ailments that will befall our personal relationships if we continue to let this digital cyber giant dictate our very lives? Can we fathom the frightful end of phone calls and lunch dates, replacing natural and often awkward social interaction for the cold, rehearsed comfort of a direct message?
@ELB4KUJHawks
@UKD Opinion snow is great if it comes
w/o ice and sleet on the roads!
I say we cannot. I say it is our duty, nay, responsibility to insure personal interaction. It is our responsibility to speak to one another face-to-face, to make jokes and watch each other laugh, to communicate with your best friend just through a look, to awkwardly ask that cute girl out for dinner in person instead of from the comfort of your roommate's Lay-Z-Boy. I say it is time to throw off our digital oppressor, to break free of the chains of cyber addiction and to reclaim our lives as individuals, as free men! Call me crazy, but I believe in a world free of Facebook, free of oppression. A world where we can exist alongside one in peace. All it takes is a little less time on Facebook, and the change starts here, now, with you.

THE MILLER REPERTORY
Jack White has achieved many accomplishments since breaking out into the music scene in 1997 with his band The White Stripes. White was nominated for three Grammys this year.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jack White named Record Store Day ambassador
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
Jack White, also known as John Anthony Gillis, has just been named "Record Store Day Ambassador," according to Rolling Stone. To announce this news, White recorded a short video about record production that was filmed in Nashville at United Record Pressing.
White has had quite the year. His debut solo album, "Blunderbuss," was released last April, he played at several music festivals this past summer including Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, he was nominated for three Grammys, and the vinyl of "Blunderbuss" managed to outself The Beatles "Abbey Road" where it has sat comfortable at the top for the past three years — and these are just to name a few of his accomplishments.
White seems to always be tied up in multiple projects. Currently, White plans to collaborate with Radiohead, continues to devote time to his record label Third Man
Records, and now, according to Spin.com, already has nearly 20 new tracks in the works for his next album.
White is one of 10 children, but undoubtedly has had no difficulties when it comes to standing out. Preceding his success as a solo artist, White was a band man.
His first band, The White Stripes, consisted of only himself alongside his ex-wife, Meg White (he took her last name). The song "Fell in Love With a Girl" was the breakthrough hit that launched the duo toward acclaim.
MEME
In 2006, White moved on to a new band of old friends" according to his official bio. This band was known as The Raconteurs. They managed to produce a hit debut single, "Steady, As She Goes," that landed them at the top of the charts.
Soon enough, it was once again time to move on to a new experiment. That same year White, along with band members of the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age, and the Greenhornies, formed The
Dead Weather. The band quickly released two albums in two years, before White craved a new creative outlet.
White also opened Third Man Records, his very own record label, in 2009. Third Man Records is conveniently located in Nashville, where United Record Pressing handles all vinyl manufacturing. In just a few years' time, the label has not only produced more than 120 records, but has also landed among the ranks of other top labels for being recognized as a leader in the vinyl record industry.
Not even a full year after the release of his first solo album, White is already working toward his second. Maybe one day White will take his own lyrics to heart to "Find yourself a girl, and settle down. Live a simple life in a quiet town" but until that day comes, the only thing that can be expected is more of his twisted talent.

Film students make basketball 'Harlem Shake' video
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Four film students walked into the Kansas men's basketball locker room for the first time on Thursday looking around at the extensive woodwork and well-placed Jayhawk apparel around the facility.
After letting the fan feelings subside, the students were ready to get down to business, but also have fun with the team putting together a 53-second video that now has more than 1.4 million views on YouTube.
"It was pretty surreal walking into that locker room with all those guys there," said Cameron Volker, a junior from Lenexa. "It wasn't like we were a fan coming backstage, though it was like we're here to do work together."
"I it's one of those Gangnam style type of crazes right now," Volker said. "I thought it was hilarious for the basketball team to capitalize on that."
Four Kansas film students including Elle Ternes, a sophomore from Fayetteville, Ark., helped junior forward Justin Wesley make his idea of a Harlem Shake Video a reality.
"I just saw it as an opportunity to get out of our comfort zone and be silly and another way for us to bond," Wesley said. "I was more excited for Drew and Perry because they're the quiet ones on the team and they looked like they had a lot of fun with it."
Wesley had seen the Phi Beta Pi video that Ternes produced for her sorority in a class and then asked Ternes if she would do the same for him and the team.
Ternes did not hesitate when the opportunity presented itself.
"I was there to facilitate and make what they wanted," Ternes said. "It was totally their thing I was just happy to film it."
She also asked her sorority sister and fellow film student Maddie Wilk, a sophomore from Overland Park, for her editing skills and some moral support in the situation. Lee Searcy, a sophomore from Forth Worth, Texas, also helped with the filming.
Ternes did not know how much planning would be needed for this video once they walked in, but it appeared the guys had done some planning.
"Apparently they had sat around for a long time discussing what they wanted to do." Ternes said.
When they arrived, the film crew wanted Kansas coach Bill
Self to dance.
"They wanted me to dance," Self said on Saturday. "That wasn't gonna happen."
"Naadir doing the robot," Wesley said. "I liked the fact that there was such a positive response to it. I didn't know it was going to blow up like that."
of a much larger craze across the Internet — all while getting to hang out with the basketball team for an afternoon.
The video took approximately 30 minutes to put together, with only three takes for the dance and a single take for freshman guard Ben McLemore's solo chicken-headed version of his signature dance.
Now that the YouTube video has gone viral, these four college students are happy they were able to help create a video that's a part
Other highlights from the video included one of Kansas' key players doing his Chapelle Show robot dance across the screen.
"It showed that our guys are just fun," Volker said. "I think it was a good display of them just doing them, just pure KU basketball attitude."
And for Kansas fans like these students, having a memory like this will be something to treasure for the remainder of their college careers.
"It wasn't the biggest project, but the fact that I was there with my camera was pretty awesome," Volker said.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCI
Kansas travels to Stillwater tied for the Big 12 lead with the Cowboys at 9-3. The players want to make sure that they stay focused throughout the game and not let the mental lapses that happened last time affect them in this go around. The Jayhawks will need this win in order to put them in position for another Big 12 regular season title, especially with a big game against Iowa State coming up.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Marcus smart made some massive plays down the stretch in the Cowboys' upset victory against the Jayhawks. Tharpe will draw added defenders, and might
Tharpe
bring enough energy to the floor to give Reletford and Johnson a break offensively. Tharpe's ability to control the pace and make open shots will be crucial for the Jayhawks, but his contributions on the defensive end might be just as important.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Jayhawks stop Marcus Smart?
With athletic guards like McLemore and Releford switching off against Smart, it's a definite possibility to slow this talented freshman down. If Releford plays like he did at Kansas State earlier this year, he should be an effective force in leading the Jayhawks to a victory over the Cowboys.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
They can limit the turnovers against the Cowboys. In the last meeting, Kansas turned the ball over 16 times and Oklahoma State finished with 19 offensive rebounds. If both of those numbers go down then, Kansas will have a much easier time getting a lead against Oklahoma State.
11-8----Bill Self's all-time record against his alma mater, Oklahoma State.
NUMBERS
32-31 — Kansas' record at GallagherIba Arena.
398 The number of games in a row since Kansas gave up 100 points.
NOTES
If Kansas wins, this will be the 24th consecutive season with 22 wins and 30 of the last 31 seasons.
Jeff Withey recorded his ninth double-double of the season and 15th of his career against Texas on Saturday.
Kansas leads the nation in field goal percentage defense at 35.6 percent.
Ben McLemore's 87.1 percent from the free throw line is first on the Kansas freshman list.
Kansas has won 12 of the 16 Big 12 regular-season titles, including the last eight.

BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
Releford
What else is there to say about McLemore? The impressive freshman pulloff off a 360 dunk to perfection against Texas. He wore a chicken head in the 'Harlem Shake' video. And now he's a contender for Big 12 Player of the Year. The only place for improvement is for the him to be more aggressive and learn to dribble a little better. At the moment, McLemore is staying ahead of Danny Manning's pace for freshman record with his 16.7 ppg.
★★★★★
Johnson
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Releford's defense fueled an incredible defensive performance by the Jayhawks, holding the Longhorns to 21 percent shooting from the field. Releford remains one of the staple players for this team, and his ability to knock down open threes at the moment contributes to his overall success. He scored a team-high 15 points against Texas. Releford has shot 56.8 percent during the last six games.
Young
★★★☆
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
For the first time in weeks, Johnson appeared comfortable on the court. There were three or four buckets where he went to the rim and finished with an easy layup and attacked the glass. That's the Elijah Johnson that everyone knows and loves from last year's NCAA tournament. Hopefully, Johnson can continue that trend for the many weeks to come, especially because of Naadir Tharpe's emergence.
★★★☆☆
Withey
Young continued to show hustle plays throughout the game against Texas. He's an important spark plug for the Jayhawks when the team struggles to find consistency on offense. He'll have some difficult matchups today with Le Bryan Nash and Michael Cobbins, but he should be able to hold his own on both ends of the floor. Look for Young to continue playing as long as he plays through the system.
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD
★★★☆☆
With his two blocks on Saturday against Texas, Withey broke the Big 12 career blocks record previously held by former Texas center Chris Mihm. At the moment Withey appears to be firing on all cylinders as he moves closer to a potential All-American senior season. Look for him to have another impressive performance against Oklahoma State in one of the marquee games left in the conference season. Withey leads the Big 12 and is ranked third nationally with 4.0 blocked shots per game.
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
★★★★
OKLAHOMA STATE
(19-5, 9-3)
STARTERS
MARCUS SMART. POINT GUARD
It's getting harder to argue there's a better point guard in the Big 12 than Marcus Smart. The freshman has been toying with opponents, averaging 16.5 points, 3.83 assists and 3.25 steals per game. The last time Kansas saw him, Smart was doing back flips down James Naismith Court after scoring 25 points in the Oklahoma State victory.
MICHIGAN STATE 73
Smart
★★★☆
MARKEL BROWN, SHOOTING GUARD
No team had a tougher time stopping Brown this year than the Jayhawks. In the first half at Kansas, Brown hit seven of 10 shots from the field for 22 points and two assists. He would finish with 28 points, his highest total of the year. His ability to heat up from three adds another dynamic to the Cowboy's backcourt.

LE'BRYAN NASH, FORWARD
Nash's play has been a bit inconsistent lately. He scored only seven points against Kansas in Oklahoma State's victory, then reached double figures in consecutive games before registering six points at Texas Tech. Yet against Oklahoma, Nash went off for 26 points and five assists. It's only a matter of which Nash shows up on Wednesday.

Cobbins is another Cowboy that has been shaky as of late. He recorded a double-double at Texas Tech, and came one point away from another against Baylor. It's hard to argue with the play of a team on a seven game winning streak.

He might not be the most dominating offensive force on Oklahoma State, but on a team loaded with shooters, Jurick is the perfect complement. The big man is averaging 6.7 rebounds per game this season, but he too has found himself in a rut, collecting six boards total in the Cowboys' last two games.

AT A GLANCE
They haven't all been easy wins, but Oklahoma State is rolling through conference play and gaining momentum every day. The Cowboys came close to falling at home twice, going to overtime against Baylor and Oklahoma. They have looked dominant against teams like Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia, where the Cowboys won each game by at least 13.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Markel Brown, guard
ORLANDA STATE 22
Rrown
Markel Brown played a first half for the ages in Allen Fieldhouse shooting 7 of 10 from the field (5 of 7 from 3-point range) and scoring 22 points.
The layhawks found a way to hold him from scoring 30, but not until late in the second half. He's always a threat to heat up.
QUESTION MARK
Will Oklahoma State's offense crack the Kansas defense again?
After shooting 38 percent in the first half of the Cowboys' victory in Lawrence, Oklahoma State found a way to get more shots off in the second half, connecting on 48 percent. A repeat performance would likely bring about the same result.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF..
Kansas tries to do too much on offense. The Jayhawks are at their best when they allow their defense to control the pace of the game. Bill Self likes the team to play fast, but getting stops against a high-powered Oklahoma State offense will be the key to the game.
NUMBERS
12. 5 —Phil Forte's 3-point field goal percentage against Kansas this year. He's averaging 36 percent for the season.
70 — Marcus Smart leads the Big 12 in steals with 79, 23 steals ahead of second place.
74. 2 — Oklahoma State's team free throw percentage, which leads the Big 12.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW Clowney faces tough choice pre-Draft
ESPN.com
F
February is a time in the football calendar where prospects are watched closely, as the NFL Scouting Combine takes place later in the month, and the draft is about two months away. However, the prospect being discussed the most isn't even eligible for this year's draft. His name is Jadeveon Clowney and he's a currently a sophomore at the University of South Carolina.
By Chris Schaeder
cshaeder@kansan.com
Every football fan has seen his monster hit and fumble recovery in the team's bowl game on YouTube, and he's considered a can't-miss prospect by talent evaluators. Clowney's talent should lead to a stellar career in the NFL, but the problem has been whether this career should be allowed to start earlier than usual.
The NFL has a rule that players are only eligible for the draft if they are three years removed from high school.
Because Clowney is only a sophomore, he will be forced to either play at South Carolina next season or sit out and wait for the 2014 NFL Draft. This decision by Clowney is the one that's been discussed over the past couple weeks because of its implications. Should Clowney risk injury playing for South Carolina next season when he's almost guaranteed to be the number one pick in the 2014 Draft? Would sitting out
next season hurt his draft stock and his teammates' perception of him?
Although Clowney has already stated on Twitter that he intends to play next season, this decision has to be weighing on him. He's already watched one of his teammates, running back Marcus Lattimore, suffer two horrific knee injuries over the past two seasons, which made his draft stock plummet. Does Clowney want to see his draft stock face the same potential fate?
If I were Jadeveon Clowney, I would play next season. It's not like Clowney is an unstoppable force that has no weaknesses in his game. He can always improve as a football player. Sitting out next season would not only hurt his draft stock, it would turn South Carolina's locker room into a toxic environment. Even if Clowney were to get injured next season, I don't think it would hurt his draft stock as much
KU
as sitting out an entire season to avoid getting injured. Football is a violent game and injuries happen, but let Clowney enjoy the final year of his college experience without the pressures of going to the NFL and making as much money as he can.
I know that by the end of the 2013 college football season, we will be talking about how great of a season Clowney had, and he's still going to be the number one pick in the draft.

Pistorius' bail hearing begins
Baseball
Missouri State
3 p.m.
Lawrence
PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius portrayed himself as a lover caught in tragedy, wielding a pistol and frightened as he stood only on his stumps, then killed his girlfriend after
mistaking her for an intruder on Valentine's Day.
Prosecutors, however, said the double-amputee Olympian committed premitted murder, planning the slaying, then firing at Reea Steenkamp as she covered his locked
bathroom door with no hope of escape.
Weeping uncontrollably, Pistorius listened as his words were read out in court by his attorney during the opening of a two-day bail hearing, his first public account of the events
surrounding the shooting death of Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model and reality TV star who had spoken out against violence against women.
"I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder,
as I had no intention to kill my girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp," Pistorius said in the sworn affidavit. "I deny the aforesaid allegation in the strongest terms."
Pistorius broke down in sobs repeatedly as his account
was read, prompting Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair to call a recess at one point.
Nair adjourned the case until Wednesday without ruling on whether Pistorius would be granted bail. However, he said the gravity of the charge —
which carries a mandatory life sentence — meant the athlete's lawyers must offer "exceptional" reasons for bail to be granted, making his release unlikely.

COMMENTARY Stillwater will be a true test for Jayhawks
PAGE 6 Check out the men's basketball Gameday preview
What can one game do to a team?
That one's easy.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Just took back to when February was only three days old. Just look back to when Marcus Smart acted more like a cheerleader than a basketball player, flipping all over James Naismith Court. Just look back to when the Jayhawks took their first blow to the gut.
But that's the easy question. The tricky one, the one that hasn't been answered yet, goes like this: What can one game do for a team?
Five hours of flatland south, the Jayhawks will once again battle with the surging Cowboys. And the result could have a similar, season-altering effect, just like round one.
One game against Oklahoma State took away mighty Kansas' invincibility.
Then came TCU, the knock-out punch to the head. And Oklahoma, the cheap shot after Kansas had fallen down. That one was almost unavoidable.
Here's the thing, the lajahws have beaten up on two opponents at home, just as they should. Kansas State is not what Missouri was last year, and stood little chance against a fervent KU crowd and team.
And Texas? Texas was simply too unequipped and undermanned to stand any chance against a KU team that needed to win the second leg of a crucial two-game home stand.
But it's premature to say KU is back. Why? Because they simply haven't been tested yet. The haven't had to reach down deep and grind out a win.
"We figured out we weren't the best team in the nation," Kevin Young said after Saturday's Texas game. "But if we keep working, there's no reason we can't be."
Is the feeling of invincibility back yet? Who knows.
How can he not? Does he really know what his team is made of after two beat 'em up victories at home? His team brought the confidence at home, but they certainly lacked it the last two games on the road.
If the Jayhawks come out and take care of business from the beginning, it's back to "All hail the mighty Jayhawks." But that's not likely. What's likely is a close, tough game between two teams dying to win this Big 12 title.
These are the questions that exist going into Wednesday night's game. I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Self has these questions himself.
That's when the Jayhawks will have their true test. That's when they'll learn if they are invincible once again.
This game against Oklahoma State, not Kansas State, not Texas, this game is the true indicator of whether the Jayhawks' lesson learned has actually made them any better.
So what? Sure the Jayhawks say they've been humbled, that they've learned they aren't America's number one team, but does that mean the chip on their shoulder isn't just going to weigh them down rather than encourage them to victory?

EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
Senior center Jeff Withey blocks Marcus Smart's shot during the Feb. 2 game against Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse where the Jayhawks were defeated 85-80. Withey played 30 minutes of the Feb. 2 game.
Cowboy fans even rushed the floor after Oklahoma State's 84-79 overtime victory last Saturday against Oklahoma, even though the Sooners are unranked and the Cowbys have a better record.
Of course, when Oklahoma State and Kansas met for the first time this season, an 85-80 Cowboy victory at Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas crowd didn't have to see a court storming.
If Kansas emerges from Stillwater with a victory, which would make coach Bill Self 3-3 at Kansas when playing on the road against his alma mater, there won't be much to see on the court.
Fans won't have a reason to spill onto the floor, and Kansas players said they won't be in the mood for theatrics. If they win their ninth straight Big 12 title, then they'll celebrate. According to senior guard Travis Releford, there are a handful of Jayhawks that might show their own back flip skills then.
There's no doubt that Oklahoma State fans will rush the floor if the Cowboys knock off Kansas tonight in Stillwater, Okla. Almost every crowd does when its team beats Kansas.
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
"From a competitive standpoint we did find that sort of disrespectful," junior forward Justin Wesley said. "But at the end of the day that was a good team and they did deserve their win. Hopefully we can keep the back flips from coming this time."
But the Kansas players haven't forgotten what they saw. Instead of a throng of fans rushing onto the floor, the Jayhawks witnessed Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart doing back flips on James Naismith Court - Kansas' court.
"If their coach allows that then that's up to them," Releford said. "If we go and get a victory there, you won't see us doing back flips or flips on their court."
Smart's back flip embodied the athleticism and hustle that gave Kansas fits throughout that loss. The Cowboys grabbed 11 offensive rebounds in the second half compared to Kansas' three offensive boards and outscored the Jayhawks 17-4 in the second half on second chance points.
"If we go and get a victory there you won't see us doing back flips or flips on their court."
NAADIR THARPE
Sophomore point guard
Smart grabbed six offensive rebounds in the second period and the Cowboys scored each time, including twice in the final minutes. Kansas scored only four points the entire second half from offensive rebounding.
"You're not used to playing guards that can crash the boards," sophomore point guard Naadir Tharpe said. "It's a change that we have to make sure we get used to and we got to adjust because it's the game tomorrow."
Smart and junior guard Markel Brown combined to score 53 points against Kansas, with many of Brown's points coming from open 3-pointers. Tharpe said Brown used lots of screens to create enough separation from his defender to get open shots, but Kansas also let Smart scope out the Kansas defense before initiating the Cowboys' offense.
"We got to pick him up early
instead of just letting him come up and just see the floor and decide what he wants to do," Tharpe said. "We have to get after him and speed him up much more than we usually do. As well as ball screens. We can't just let him turn the corner on ball screens. We've got to make sure we have a hard hedge, maybe even trap."
While Kansas played much better in its two victories last week against Kansas State and Texas, rebounding still posed a problem against the Longhorns. Texas controlled the offensive glass 20-12, and the Longhorns' guards accounted for seven of those offensive rebounds.
Several Jayhawks said the key to defeating Oklahoma State would be grabbing 50-50 balls, getting offensive rebounds and converting second chance points. They said they just had to want it more than the Cowboys.
Kansas grabs the most defensive rebounds per game in the Big 12 and leads the conference in rebounding margin, which suggests that the Jayhawks do usually want it badly enough. While Self said the poor rebounding performances against Texas and in the second half against Oklahoma State were anomalies, Kansas has to control that area of the game to come out on top against the Cowboys.
"They just whipped us physically on the glass," Self said of the teams' first meeting. "We've been a team that's really been a good defensive rebounding队 for the majority of the season then we had some games like this most recent one against Texas where we rebounded the ball miserably and that's got to be a point of emphasis."

Senior leadership inspires women's team
MAX GOODWIN
Last month, before the match-up with Texas at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson had a meeting with the three seniors of the team: guard Angel Goodrich, guard Monica Engelman, and forward Carolyn Davis.
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The layhawks were coming off of three straight losses and slipping in the Big 12 standings, but Henrickson told the seniors not to panic.
"She pulled us in the office," Goodrich said. "We just talked about what we need to do, who we needed to be for our team. We, as seniors, needed to step up and lead by example and bring the team together and get everybody on the same page."
Kansas huddles before an Oklahoma free throw attempt in the first half of Sunday's game. The Jayhawks won against Oklahoma.
Henrickson told the seniors she trusted them, and she believed they already knew that, but she wanted to make sure that they heard it from her.
The four of them looked at statistics, and Henrickson asked the three seniors to think about where improvements could be made.
"You're going to go as far as your seniors take you," Henrickson told them. "It has to be the three of you."
Since that meeting, Kansas is
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
The two most recent victories, against TCU and Oklahoma, were both sparked by the play of the seniors. Davis recorded a double-double in both, Engelman scored more than 20 points in both and Goodrich dished out 10 assists in both games.
5-3, with wins over Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas, TCU and Kansas State. Every one of those wins will be valuable as the selection committee looks over the Kansas resume to decide, whether they are worthy of a spot in the NCAA tournament.
Now the team makes the trip to Austin, Texas, to face the Longhorns once again. Last time, Texas was playing without its two top scorers, junior Chassidy Fussell and sophomore Nneka Enemkpali. This time the Jayhawks will likely face a full-strength Longhorn team.
"They have led by example," Henrickson said. "They've led vocally, and shouldered the burden of being a senior and that responsibility that comes with it."

Kansas will need its seniors to step up once again, as they have since that meeting in coach Henrickson's office.
"We've got really good players around you" Henrickson told them. "I said, if you are looking at who's going to carry us, look at each other, that's who has to.
That's who should"
Texas is just 2-11 in conference play this season, but the Big 12 is the highest-ranked conference in the nation according to the RPI. Henrickson and her team aren't looking past any opponents, especially on the road.
Henrickson said she is sure to mention to her team how important it is to perform well on the road. It is up to the seniors to
Goodrich, Engelman and Davis know that they came out flat against TCU a week ago, on the last trip to Texas. The Jayhawks trailed by 22 points at half. They managed to make the comeback and win by one point, in large part because of the 18 second-half points scored by Engelman.
assure that on this road trip to Texas the team comes out with energy in the first half.
Sophomore Natalie Knight is not with the team in Austin, Texas, as she will undergo surgery on her right ACL that she tore earlier this season. Knight will reunite with the team after they return from the trip.

Kansas remains family tradition
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
At 4 years old, Jeanie Schiefelbusch squirmed in her seat next to her father, eyes dashing around Allen Fieldhouse as the Kansas men's team, then a Big Eight roster of 12 white undergraduate men, drilled layups to warm up for the game. Trumpets flourished to kick off "I'm a Jayhawk" and the Fieldhouse rumbled with expectant, blue and crimson-clad basketball fans clapping and cheering along. The energy and buzz of the Phog enveloped her.
The year was 1962 and Dr. Richard Schiefelbusch, a professor of Lifespan Studies at the time, sat at a table a few rows into the stands at mid-court, keeping statistics for the coaches. A Jayhawk basketball fan himself since watching the team play in the auditorium before the opening of the Fieldhouse in 1955, he brought Jeanie along to watch the game as he tallied shot positions and assists for the coaches.
"We have been basketball fanatics together ever since," Richard said.
Richard, now 94 years old, and Jeanie have attended every home game for more than 50 years. Halftime and sometimes
even the final buzzer of away games incite a phone call between the father and daughter to praise or critique the ins and outs of vital plays. Decades of enthusiastic students, witty and crisp banners and awe-inspiring videos ionizing unforgettable victories have made the two fall in love with the passion that the University houses for the game.
"You can't replicate that energy," Jeanie said. "It's someplace that you can always come back to and feel like this is where you want to be."
Even now that she drives 40 minutes from her home in Prairie Village, Jeanie finds herself looking forward to the season. Jayhawk win after Jayhawk win doesn't just get her through the winter months but brings her together with her father.
When Jeanie was studying for her master's degree in 1988, the men's basketball team faced the rival Oklahoma Sooners in the NCAA National Championship in Kansas City, Mo. Knowing she would be starting a final exam only a few hours before tip-off, Jeanie jokingly teased her dad to get tickets. When, thanks to his position on the University's athletics board,

Emily Taylor Center promotes self-defense
The Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity will be sponsoring free self-defense classes for students, faculty and staff.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director at the Emily Taylor Center, said the program has both positive physical and mental benefits.
“(Participants) can learn some effective and easy techniques to increase their safety and self-protection,” she said. “They also will find ways to increase their self-confidence about handling difficult situations.”
The workshops for students are held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday
and Thursdays at the Ambler Recreation Fitness Center. Students need their KU ID to participate.
Workshops for students, faculty and staff will be from 10 a.m. to noon on Feb. 23. March 9 and April 13.
All workshops are taught by instructors from Premier Martial Arts.
"KU is not any less safe than any other college campus, but being prepared is important for everybody." Rose-Mockry said. "We encourage everybody in the campus community to take advantage, it's a wonderful opportunity and it would be very difficult to find this opportunity once they leave campus."

School suspends teacher for anti-gay comments

"I just ... I don't understand it," Medley said when asked whether homosexuals have a purpose in life. She was speaking to WTWOTV of Terre Haute at a planning meeting earlier this month for the anti-gay dance.
Medley, who has no published telephone number, couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday. She didn't immediately respond
to a message that The Associated Press sent to her school email account.
"As many of you know and appreciate, our school corporation is continuing to manage as responsibly and respectfully as possible the fallout from comments made by an employee as she attended a meeting outside of school or a school activity," Baker said. "We have conveyed our disappointment and our disagreement with these statements and have emphasized her comments do not reflect our schools' views or opinions."
As of Wednesday, a petition on Change.org calling for Medley's dismissal had generated more than 19,500 signatures from as far away as the United Kingdom, and a Facebook page supporting a prom that includes all students had more than 28,000 likes. Meanwhile, some gay rights groups are trying to bolster the confidence of gay teens with a Facebook page that will collect supportive videos.

Richard was offered tickets and
coyly offered to take Jeanie with
him, the two rushed to Kemper
Arena to cheer on the lajahwks in
an unexpected 83-79 upset victory.
The win—the game, the season,
the team—felt like nothing short of a miracle to be a part of.
The Schiefelbuschs have witnessed more than just winning seasons. In the mid-1960s, they would spot Jo Jo White's family in
"It was a once in a lifetime basketball game" Richard said.
Richard remembered how Wilt the Stilt opened Lawrence up.
"He would casually take a newspaper and go into a restaurant and sit down to read and order coffee and if they didn't bring it, he was ... patient," Richard said. "Someone would say, 'Why don't you serve this guy? He's famous!' He became integrated in his own pattern. He

was always liked. He had a knack for being social, confident."
Allen Fieldhouse acted as a sanctuary; nothing could foll the rush
Racial conflict in Lawrence could not interfere with enjoying Jayhawk basketball. Despite tensions in Lawrence when she was in middle school, Jeanie found that all strain disintegrated during games.
"It seemed like basketball was someplace you could go where you didn't feel that; it was just people enjoying basketball and you didn't feel that racial strife inside the Fieldhouse," Jeanie said.
of adrenaline as the Jayhawks swatted down opposing shots, piloted a breakaway layup or drilled shot after shot like a well-oiled machine. Basketball games became a hobby, a ritual, a sacred bonding time as the two returned to the Fieldhouse year after year.
"Almost exactly four years ago, my mom died." Jeanie said. "The next day, we had tickets to the game and we went. We just felt like we needed to do that. We needed the energy from the Fieldhouse and to just be together doing something that we always do. It felt right."
In years past, Jeanie and Richard drove a recently-widowed friend of Richard who would take a picture of his deceased wife with him to sit with at the games so he would feel like he was still there with her.
Considering Richard's age, the two have a talk every year and weigh the decision to buy season tickets again. Without saying a word, jeanie tips the scales in the positive.
"I can't imagine KU basketball without you," Jeanie said. "I just cherish every game that we're there together."
The tradition continues. Jeanie and Richard will root on the team against TCU Saturday and all other home games this year in the front row above the visiting team entrance, in seats five and six, row eight of section K1, where they've sat for nearly the past decade.
"It been 50 years and I hope every year won't be the last," Jeanie said. She turned to Richard and added laughing "We'll take you in a wheelchair, Dad. We'll get you in there."

It's Beyoncé's world and we just live in it
eyonice. She doesn't need a last name. She doesn't need an introduction.
Beyonce is the best thing that has ever happened to America. It's an indisputable fact. Find me a person that doesn't like Beyoncé. She should be every female's role model and every guy's dream.
By Laken Rapier
lrapier@kansan.com
If there is one thing to take away from Beyonce's HBO Documentary, "Life is but a Dream," it's that Beyonce has remained relatively grounded given her uncharted success.
That's right. Beyoncé is just like the rest of us — she talks to herself, carries her Macbook around like it's a national treasure, cusses, laughs obnoxiously, cries in moments of weakness and makes questionable wardrobe choices. She does all of this with legs most of us could only dream of, an incredible voice and a bigger bank account than some small countries, all while sleeping with lay-Z.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
music industry's original diva, the queen herself. But the Destiny's Child star didn't build this empire overnight.
The cover of Vogue's March Power issue is graced with the
sex tape. Beyoncé started as and continues to be a determined, self-proclaimed perfectionist and talented singer who isn't going to stop anytime soon.
Beyoncé sits courtside before the NBA All-Star basketball game Sunday in Houston.
During her climb to the top,
Beyoncé had her peaks and pitfalls
and is no different than any one
else in this regard.
Beveron let fans into her life by talking about the personal struggles she has overcome, the battle between her father and former manager, who was unable to keep business and family relationships separate, and what inspired her to work even harder and eventually become her own manager. She didn't become famous overnight from a YouTube video or homemade, self-released
Not only did she work hard—you can't say she worked her ass off—but she did it all for the ladies. Beyoncé is the definition of girl power—sorry, Spice Girls. Jay-Z may have put a ring on it, but that didn't slow down Beyoncé's inner-independent woman.
In her documentary, she flawlessly explains her ongoing support for women and why she feels a sense of obligation to make women feel empowered.
"Women have to work much harder to make it in this world," Beyoncé said. "It really pisses me off that women don't get the same opportunities as men do, or money for that matter. Because, let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define our values and to define what's sady and what's feminine, and that's
bullshit. At the end of the day, its not about equal rights, it's about how we think. We have to shape our own perception of how we view ourselves."
Her sense of empowerment shows through her strength and self-confidence. How many women could go on stage in what she wears?
Bottom line, Beyoncé is without a doubt an extremely gifted human being, who built her own empire and created her own success, like the rest of us can.
It's Beyoncé's world and we are all just living in it. Who runs this mother? Beyoncé.

Snow: the worst thing to ever exist on earth
DAY RUINER
It's coming, Everyone says so. Snow will inherit the earth, and chances are it has already covered the sacred hills of Lawrence.
I'm willing to bet that every student is extremely happy about the chances of classes being canceled at the University. The University forcing students to skip class is always more fun than skipping class because students are lazy. But one thing I know students don't think about when classes are canceled is possibly the most crucial: Snow is the worst.
First and foremost, snow is dangerous. The University doesn't cancel classes because Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little thinks students would really enjoy playing in the snow and having a grand of time. No—classes get canceled because people could possibly die if they were to drive to and from campus on the icy roads, or if one of the buses lost control and rammed into walking students.
Classes get canceled to save your life.
I understand why people are excited for classes being canceled, but replacing boring lectures with dangerous weather conditions seems to be hardy an enjoyable consolation.
I remember The Great Snowpocalypse of 2011. I was there. I survived. But I hated snow then, and I'm going to hate snow now.
Maybe it's because, even though I've been in Lawrence for four years, I still haven't gone sledding down Mount Oread. Maybe it's because I'm known in the Kansan newsroom as "Grumpy Cat," and seem to be notorious for hating everything that exists. Maybe it's because during that great snow storm of 2011, I still had to work those supposedly glorious days that classes were canceled by the University. And on my way to work, my truck got stuck in the snow and left me stranded.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Those are all real possibilities as to why my heart is still ice cold when tiny snowflakes fall from the sky. But it's also possible that ever since the state deemed it legal for me to drive a car, I've understood that snow can be a real deterrent to everything that is good. Instead of being able to get to the places I want to be in a timely, stress-free manner, I have to plan out a strategic plan of safety to travel. And sometimes snow keeps people locked up inside for several days, stopping them from being able to get the hot soup that they enjoy on an ice-cold day.
But as I write this, I know none of those are the real reason I hate
snow so much. The real reason is the aftermath. The elements left behind after snow surrenders to the changing of the season: sand and salt.
That nasty combination of sand and salt that cities use to try (and completely fail) to stop snow and ice building up and allow cars to drive on the roads. Maybe the salt does help melt the ice—I'm not a scientist, so I won't guess—but is it really worth it when there is such a nasty mixture left behind when the snow disappears? Probably not.
Once the snow is gone, I cringe when I walk on the sidewalks and see (and sometimes even feel through my shoes) the mixture. It's disgusting. There really must be a better way to prepare for something so sinister. This method really does seem like it was created in the 1700s.
"General Washington, how should we get rid of the snow?" asked a loyal American soldier on Dec. 25, 1776, when George
Washington led his army across a frozen Delaware River.
"Salt," said the soon-to-be leader of the Free World, General George Washington. "We will use salt and sand to clear our path and win the war against the British."
Sure. That didn't happen. But that's how I feel when such an asinine concept is used so regularly to no avail in a world that allows me to shut off my lights at night by simply clapping.
Maybe if the United States of America were to develop a much better way to prepare for icy conditions, I wouldn't hate snow so much. Maybe if classes are canceled today, and I spend all my free time enjoying my life by sledding down Mount Oread, I won't hate snow so much.
But for now, I do. Screw you, snow

MOVIE REVIEW
Willis, franchise tarnished by recent movies
By Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MATTHEW JONES
I've reached the point where I automatically grow suspicious any time an established action franchise feels the need to introduce the hero's estranged son. I guess you could call me Mutt-shy. Yes, that's a reference to Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf), the illegitimate greater offspring of Indiana Jones; a clownish pit stain of a character whose vine-swing, hair-gelling antics helped make 2008's "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" the Bataan Death March of summer blockbusters.
An older, apparently superhuman John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Russia to look for his missing son Jack (Jai Courtney) in "A Good Day to Die Hard."
So when I first heard "A Good Day to Die Hard," the fifth and feeblest installment in the "Die Hard" series, would involve John McClane (Bruce Willis) traveling to Russia to save his CIA operative son (Sam Worthington clone Jai Courtney), the news raised more red flags than the Soviet National Anthem. Like the "Indiana Jones" quartet, the "Die Hard" films have moved beyond the neat, natural endpoint of a trilogy and now exist solely out of an almost vampiric sense of brand preservation, one that feeds on an audience's nostalgia for a beloved character and offers them nothing but a stunted, lifeless imitation.
You see, John McClane isn't really John McClane anymore. Gone is the noble, wickcrassing New Jersey cowboy of 1988, the bullet-headed paragon of blue-collar virtue who would crawl barefoot across broken glass to protect the innocent from international crooks and terrorists like the original film's aristocratic arch-villain Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). The McClane who appears in "A Good Day to Die Hard" is the quintessential ugly American, a boorish buffoon who barrels across a busy Moscow highway in a stolen truck, casually crushing dozens of civilians, all to "rescue" his son, a capable government agent who neither wants nor needs his old man's help.
Longtime fans were quick to
The story, something about a corrupt Russian defense minister and the radioactive vault he left buried beneath the ruins of Chernobyl, is an unfocused convoluted muddle that renders McClane a supporting player in his own movie. That leaves us with Courtney's Jack McClane, the latest in a long line of action heroes with a terminal case of daddy issues. His "I'm extra tough' cause you were never there for me!" repartee with Willis is interrupted by a series of progressively bigger, duller action sequences, starting with a concusive, blundering romp through Moscow that made me long for a similar scene in "Goldeneye" where James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) commandees a T-55 tank for a joyride through Red Square.
disparage 2007's "Live Free or Die Hard" because of its bland PG-13 rating and Willis' willingness to suddenly turn his everyman cop into an invulnerable superhero. Those same tendencies are out in force here, especially during scenes where McClane emerges from searing explosions and a five-story death plunge with nary a scratch, while young Jack gets bruised and bloodied in a way that seems pretty convincing by action movie standards.
Despite his fantastic turn as an assassin being hunted by his younger self in last year's time travel opus "Looper," Willis
remains an actor with no tangible qualms about sleepwalking his way through sub-par projects. Did he read Skip Wood's abysmal screenplay and realize the writer of universally panned dreck like "Hitman" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" would be wrong for the "Die Hard" universe? Did he watch the dailies and shake his head at director John Moore's nauseating fondness for quick cuts and shaky-cam as opposed to well-mounted, inventively choreographed action scenes? Or had the check already cleared?
It's difficult to imagine Willis not harboring some private doubts
about essentially mortgaging the future of the character that made him a star 25 years ago. The only way to redeem the series at this point is to go back to basics, back to the scenario perfected by director John McTiernan in the first and third movies: McClane the reluctant hero trapped in an enclosed space with interesting bad guys to kill and loved ones to defend. Until that happens, the "Die Hard" franchise will remain on life support.

Ultima (Miriam Colon) teaches the young Antonio (Luke Ganalon) the importance of a plant's life.
'Ultima' fit for small screen
IALEX IAMR
alamb@kansan.com
Bless Me, Ultima" is one of those novels that has so much literary acclaim (and controversy) that you've probably heard about it in an English class at some point. In fact, it's arguably the most highly regarded piece of literature written by a Mexican-American.
But for some strange reason, the film adaptation of this widely known book has received barely any publicity, prepared to completely slip under everyone's radar. Which is too bad, because there's definitely a strong showcase of cultural identity on display here, even though the film's undemanding execution lacks much of the style that made the novel so unique.
Telling a simple story of the spiritual growth of young Antonio (Luke Ganon) as he encounters good against evil in his community, "Bless Me, Ultima" stands out for its setting of New Mexico during World War II, elements of magical realism and portrayal of an interesting culture.
The titular character of "Ultima"
(Miriam Colon), an old medicine
woman, drives the overarching plot as she comes to live with Antonio's family, teaches him about her mystical ways, and tries to keep the vindictive Tenorio (Castulo Guerra) and his three witch daughters at bay. Everything in the film with "Ultima" makes for compelling viewing, particularly because of the occult aspects. But all of the rest with just Antonio and his family, which comprises over half of the movie, isn't as satisfying.
Writer/director Carl Franklin, who has a natural flair for high drama, adapts Rudolfo Anaya's dynamic novel in the safest, least risky manner possible. While a scene where "Ultima" works to lift a curse off Antonio's uncle gets a bit surreal and visually inventive, making it one of the movie's most effective sequences, Franklin otherwise dials it back and even excises some of the more otherworldly "Ultima" parts of the book.
Diminishing the pronounced aspect of the magical realism into more traditional narrative contrivances takes away from the overall enchantment of the story, but the other themes of life and death, family responsibility, and religion and spirituality still unfold thoughtfully. The problem is that it lacks much engrossing depth or the provocative, meaningful edge one might expect from one of the most challenged books in the country.
While the performances are allaround competent, the dialogue feels a bit forced at times, although that's partially because the writing is sometimes basic and stereotypical. But Colon succeeds wonderfully as such a mythical, wise and kind yet powerful figure. Ganalon doesn't possess such an engaging presence, but as a child actor, he shows a natural curiosity of the world that's easy to step into.
When it comes down to it, "Bless Me, Ultima" has far more of a small screen vibe than big screen. The same way an original Lifetime movie often takes an interesting topic, then plainly moralizes it so as to not offend anyone and uses straightforward storytelling, so does this adaptation. A nice tale, but an unremarkable one.

Frank Ocean rejuvenates R&B with meaningful lyrics
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
Artists like Frank Ocean and Miguel have been receiving plenty of media attention surrounding the 55th Annual Grammys. They're doing something right. They are reviving and revamping the long lost genre of R&B.
Ocean
PHILIPPINE STATE UNIVERSITY
According to Spin Magazine,
"R&B is evolving and this is a
thrilling moment for fans of the
music." The magazine has named
"Alt-R&B" as the Trend of the
Year in 2012, and music critic Eric Harvey coined the term 'PBR&B',
that has become a popular buzzword.
Cristelle Fornesi, a freshman from San Francisco, is happy to see R&B making a comeback.
"Frank Ocean is able to write about so much more than just superficial things. He includes real messages into his lyrics that appeal to both men and women," Fornesi said. "People appreciate more thoughtful songwriting, and that is something that has really been lacking these days. Frank Ocean delivers that, plus a pretty
melody to go with it."
Aside from more meaningful content, technological advancements have certainly helped the evolution of R&B as well. Both digital recording and the Internet have largely supported the success that Ocean and Miguel are encountering.
Each artist not only earned a spot as a performer at the Grammys, but also was in the running for several nominations. Ocean was nominated for record of the year, album of the year, best new artist, and beat out Miguel for best urban contemporary album. Miguel was nominated for song of the year, best R&B performance, and won for best R&B song.
Yes, both artists possess immense talent, but something else must be in the works that led them to such sudden success. Ocean and Miguel don't restrict themselves to fit the mold of just one genre. While they can be considered "R&B" artists, they are certainly covering more range.
Pat McQuillan, a freshman from St. Paul, Minn., agreed.
"If R&B was ever losing its spot in the limelight, Ocean has most definitely brought it back," McQuillan said. Ocean has "songs that are throwbacks to the smooth R&B vibe of Motown with a modern twist, or that take the soulful
tenor of R&B and throw it in a present day hip hop flow... If anything I would say Ocean has opened the doors for this genre."
One genre that has a strong presence in both Ocean and Miguel's songs is electronic dance music (EDM). Although it is often pop artists who incorporate wubs and bass into the chorus of their catchy songs, they are no longer the only ones.
In Ocean's hit, "Thinkin Bout You," Spin says that his "melancholy moans are reinforced with a warbling synthesizer," and goes on to say that Miguel's well-known song, "Adorn," also includes "distorted bass throbs that surround Miguel's smooth murmur."
Though EDM has proven to be too much for some, Ocean and Miguel have seemed to find just the right balance. By choosing to test the boundaries of the genre, their sensuous croons have reached new levels, and new fans.
If EDM can even slightly be held accountable for bringing back R&B, it is hard to say where it will wobble to next.

Students gather for a picture at last years Purim party hosted by KU Chabad.
According to Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, executive director of the Chabad Center for Jewish Life, "the holiday of Purim highlights the significance of joy and togetherness in ludaism."
To honor and celebrate this positive energy, Chabad will be hosting a 'Mediterranean Purim' at the Hookah House. According to a press release, Chabad is looking to put a "creative twist" on this year's student celebration.

The Jewish holiday of Purim falls on Feb. 23. Purim is considered to be the most joyous holiday of the Jewish calendar. The literal meaning of the word Purim is 'lots', in reference to a lottery that would determine the day of the annihilation of the Jews.
Fortunately, the Jewish community survived and prospered as a result of unity and commitment to Jewish identity.
The event will include a reading

The event will be held at the Hookah Houseat 730 Massachusetts Street in Downtown Lawrence. It will be on Saturday, February 24 from 7:30 to p.m.
Brianna Brown, a freshman from Leawood, will be attending the event. "I'm excited because Purim is like the Jewish Halloween," Brown said. "It will be fun to be around other students who are happy to be celebrating together. I especially looking forward to the location, I think that alone will draw students in."
The event will not only be a night of fun but a learning experience as well. According to the press release, the event is campus-wide and open to all students regardless of affiliation or background.

Video game violence raises questions
I'll just provide the text content from the image.

The struggle to find meaning in the wake of tragedy is a natural response to heartbreaking news, and reactions to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School are no exception. Millions in awe of the event have left no stone unturned in search of a solution to America's fundamental problem with aggression and violence, primarily related to guns. Advocates of stricter gun control are calling on politicians to target government policies and organizations that might allow someone like Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook shooter, to slip through the cracks.
"The Last of Us" is a video game set in a post-apocalyptic world where players must kill to survive, and is scheduled for release in June. Photo provided by Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America.
One such target is the video game industry, which has been placed in the national spotlight many times before in response to violent crimes. Some consider the ease of access to high-powered firearms to be the fundamental issue, while others are looking closer to home and assessing what creates this culture of violence in the first place.
In an average day of media consumption, it is near impossible to avoid violent images, whether it be in movies, music or video games. At a certain point, separating violence from mainstream media seems about as probable as removing wetness from water; even earlier generations grew up with classic "shoot em' up" movies like John Wayne's "True Grit." However, violence in the video gaming world has evolved much more gradually than in film. The question many are asking is: Does exposure to violent material in a virtual world elicit violent behavior in the real world?
Grassroots efforts to combat violent video gaming have already begun, like the "Violent Video Games Return Program," an event hosted early in which residents were encouraged to bring their violent video games to be smashed and incinerated in exchange for a $25 gift card from the Chamber of Commerce.
- Other evidence-free attacks on the video game industry have shown the highly reactive nature of politicians and the press. Activists are calling for game developers to completely overhaul their business strategies and to reevaluate games that send implicit messages leading to violence. Among the suggested solutions include: tighter regulation on games with mature (18+ years old) ratings and a more regulated system of banning overlyviolent titles.

In order to determine how and why changes to this industry can be made, it is important to understand video gaming at an elementary level. Universal goals shared by most video games are typically gathering resources, acquiring a high number of points and ultimately avoiding death. Decades ago, these principles brought tremendous success to even the simplest games like Galaga, an 8-bit arcade game where the player must fend off an encroaching wall of pixelated aliens at increasingly difficult levels. However, newer technology coupled with the demand for "more realistic" gaming experiences has forced the hand of game developers to push the envelope on both reality and violence.
Ian Tait, a senior from Overland Park, Kan., has played video games throughout his whole life and says
The most commonly attacked games, including the "Grand Theft Auto" series and "Mortal Kombat" have been in the national spotlight many times before due to their graphic content that, at times, encourages violent in-game behavior. In fact, the gruesome blood and gore in "Mortal Kombat" led to politicians giving the gaming industry one year to form its own rating system, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) which is still used today.
In titles like "Grand Theft Auto", players are given endless possibilities to do what they want to whoever they want in this virtual world, also known as a "sandbox environment." This open-ended freedom has led many to ask if games allowing players to act violently with no consequences directly translate to real-world behavior, where the
he spends around 10-15 hours each week on gaming. "Violence in video games don't contribute to someone's decision to bring a gun to school. It might show them how weapons are handled, but these people in question are predisposed to violence anyway." Tait considers his most violent gaming experience to be from playing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", a first-person shooter in which the main objective is to seek out and kill other players in competitive matches.

"The U.S. government did irreparable damage to the comic book industry in the 1950s by using faulty research to falsely blame juvenile delinquency and illiteracy on comic books," Greenberg said. "It decimated the production of one of the few kinds of literature that at-risk youths read for pleasure. Censoring video games could have similar unintended consequences"
consequences are very real.
In a conference last month, Vice President Joe Biden sat down with representatives from the video game industry to hear concerns and address the issue head-on. President Obama entrusted Biden with leading a series of reform meetings with executives from major game development companies. Daniel Greenberg, the Anti-Censorship chairman of the International Game Developers Association urged Biden to "not be seeking ways to constrain this emerging medium so early in its development by scapegoating video games for societal ills."
As violent video games continue to keep politicians and worried parents up at night, there will undoubtedly be more studies conducted to determine the effects of gaming on the human psyche.

Incentives offer motivation for students to exercise more
CAROLINE AKTINSON
caktinson@kansan.com
For some people, exercising is a part of life, but for others it's more of a hassle than a habit. Whether or not hitting the gym is a part of your routine, most of us can agree that working out is a catalyst in getting and staying healthy.
According to the Physical Activity Guidelines from the Department of Health & Human Services, adults aged 18 and over should engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week. In 2010, however, less than 50 percent of that group met the minimum. Some students invest money in a gym membership or save their funds by taking advantage of free exercise opportunities. Studies like one published in Econometrica in 2009 suggest cash incentives encourage people to get active and regularly integrate fitness into their regimen.
This was the case with Tyler Jones, 22, an Information and System Technologies major from Overland Park, who never made it to the gym until he discovered a free iPhone app called "Gym-Pact." The program allows the user to create weekly exercising goals, and pays you for meeting your objective while sticking you with a fine if you don't. Jones earns about $3.50 a week for exercising
four days a week, and is penalized $5.00 for each day missed. "I can't be lazy now," Jones said. "It forces me to work out, and I'm punished if I don't by losing money." He acknowledged that money is the main motivator, especially as a college student, and he has dropped almost 20 pounds in the past month.
The Econometrica study showed a "significant difference between the behavior of the low-incentive group and high-incentive group" when participants were awarded money for exercising. It reiterated that paying people to go to the gym positively affected workout behavior. While most of us don't get immediately rewarded for being active, "GymPact" compromises workout habits with a slight push and an incentive.
Other workout facilities, such as the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, charge money for their services, but hope the results are worth the funds.
The recreation center is free for current students for general use, or students can purchase a $50 pass per semester for KU Fit classes. Mackenzie VanBeest, an English graduate student from Chicago, Illinois, got one her first year at the University, and she "hasn't looked back since." She wanted to stay healthy, and said the pass is wellworth the money. "I work out on my own, too, but the classes have
more motivation and pressure to be there and perform," she said. "There's like camaraderie, and you definitely get your money's worth."
Jill Urkoski, Associate Director for Recreational Services at the recreation center, said that external encouragement is helpful, but it all comes down to a person's internal motivation. She used the Scale Down Challenge, which students, staff and faculty can currently sign up for, as an example. The Scale Down Challenge is $25 for a 10-week competition "that provides an opportunity for people to be in a program that gives them a possible incentive." That incentive is a cash reward for the top winners who lose the highest percent of body weight.
Urkoski warns that prizes will not always be around as a motivational tool. "Any incentive isn't going to make you a life-long exerciser," she said. "If that works for you at first, that's wonderful because it's going to allow you to keep wanting to do it. Eventually it often becomes an internal motivation."
Exercising isn't the only key to a healthy lifestyle, but it is definitely a start. For these students and faculty members, factoring in money raises the stakes and turns a rough workout into a rewarding experience.

Are fitness apps right for you?
NOOPER GOEL
caktinson@kansan.com
Until she bought an iPhone, KU sophomore Brynden Annis used to drive around in circles at least four times a week. No, she's not a lunatic. She just didn't have an app for that.
Now she can simply activate her Nike Running app and hit the pavement.
"I used to drive the same (running) route to see how many miles it was." Annis said.
"It's much easier, and more accurate," Annis said. "It'll track your pace, how many calories you burnt, and it'll track you on a map. It's just really cool."
Want to make your fitness routine
easier too? Well before you decide on what to download, consider these tidbits of advice from a fitness pro.
Natalya Kuznetova is a certified personal trainer at Lifetime Fitness in Overland Park. She says her coworkers have started incorporating apps into the fitness regime, but warns that there are pros and cons to this advancement.
Pros
- Great educational tool: "Most of those apps explain why this works. For example, in iMuscle, on the squat you can look at your muscles in 3D and see how your quadriceps contract."
- Customizable: "You can see all the muscles, and you can really create a
workout based on that."
- Keeps your muscles guessing: "You can never run out of exercises to do, because you just find a new one on the app."
- Tracks your work out: "Some members who train, we can actually look and see what they have been doing. Some apps have this feature where you can go an add your trainer as a friend, and then we will have access to everything the person logs in."
Cons
- Forfeits technique: "For some people who have never learned to exercise, I can't say if they will get the results. The form and technique, you need to know it."

This lack of personalization in text messaging can not only lead to bold assertions but vague and confusing messages. Jeffrey Hall, an assistant professor of communication studies and co-author of an article on texting, says what makes texting appealing can also make it frustrating because of the amount of ambiguity and the absence of meaning.

Kunkel also says that text messaging is less work and is less meaningful than face-to-face conversations.
"There are so many misunderstandings and arguments over texting," Steinberg said. "Real conversations need to take place over the phone."
"Texting as a means to negotiate a date' prevents the full expression of feelings and experiences that might happen in person or by phone," Kunkel said. "It also takes away some of the responsibility that goes into dating and maintaining a romantic relationship."
However, texting can still work toward college students' advantage.

Students adapt text messaging into their dating lifestyles
"I can put some protein in you."
When Kara Mraz, a junior from Chicago, received this text from a guy and she lost interest immediately. She had declined his invitation to go out drinking, and was explaining that she was relaxing and drinking her post-exercise protein shake. But the guy would not give up. After she ignored several of his texts, he wanted to know why she was so angry. She told him to reread the protein text, and then never spoke to him again. Mraz, like many college students, faces the challenges of trying to date in a culture of text messaging reliance.
"I think a lot of people would not have the relationships they do without texting because they do not have the balls to say something in person that they do via texting," said Mraz.
Approximately 83 percent of American adults own cell phones and 73 percent of them send and receive text messages. The most avid of these texters are young adults, according to a 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project. Although college students have adapted texting to fit their dating lifestyle, the evolution of this technology is not the turnoff. It's the
misuse and abuse of text messaging that is off-putting.
Despite her critique of what people might say via text messaging that they would not say face-to-face, Mraz admits that she does the same thing.
"I texted my boyfriend that he had no direction in his life and to quit wasting his time with bullshit jobs," Mraz said. "But it is bad to text about serious problems because when we get together neither one of us says anything about them, so there is this giant elephant in the room, but no one brings it up so nothing gets solved."
"Texting seems to be an easy way to avoid relationship problems or tensions," Kunkel said. "We should never forget that dealing with the discomfort or awkwardness of handling conflict with others is a huge building block in our experience sets that make us more skilled communicators and relationship partners."
Adrianne Kunkel, an associate professor of communication studies, says that the lack of face-to-face conversation in text messaging makes it easier for people to say things that they might not otherwise say when confronted in a face-to-face context.
Instead, Tracey Steinberg, a "dateologist" and host of "Dating Help 911"; says texting should be used as a quick form of communication that relays only simple

How porn affects relationships
CHELSEA MIES
cmies@kansan.com
Adam, University of Kansas student from Hutchinson, sits in front of his laptop, but instead of doing homework he is doing something that most college aged males do. On the screen, a man and woman engage in different sexual activities; he is watching pornography.
Increased and consistent consumption of porn can affect the way men view themselves and their partners, which affects their relationships. Adam said that this used to be a problem for him.
"I know that porn is very over-dramatized," Adam said. "But when I was younger, before I started having sex, I would think man I wish I could be like that. But now I know that it is all fake."
Now, Adam watches porn two to three times a week, which, according a study at the University of Montreal, is about the average for both single men and men who are in a relationship. Adam is in a relationship.
Carol Simon, a philosopher and author of Bringing Sex into Focus: The Quest for Sexual Integrity, says that pornography can be a problem, because it often depicts women in unrealistic ways. This, she says, can shape a man's attitude about or expectations of real women.
Women are often objectified in porn, which is not the way that all women actually want to be treated
by their sexual partners and porn stars are not what average women look like. Because of a lack of a realistic portrayal of women, porn can create a negative experience for men in their sexual encounters. It can also cause conflict within a couple if neither party is getting what they expect out of their sex.
"I think it can cause problems for people, because people get lost in the fantasy of it," Adam said.
CHARLIE student from Wichita
"I have never had a bad experience, because if you use porn the right way it is a great way to learn about your boyfriend or girlfriend."
"People want do the things they see people in porn doing."
Dennis Dailey, professor emeritus at the University of Kansas, said that there are many ways that porn can negatively affect a relationship. Dailey said that porn isn't always a negative thing in a relationship, however.
Dailey said that porn usually becomes a problem when one person in the relationship views it as a threat or when it begins to take the place of sex in a relationship.

Charlie, a student from Wichita,
said that he watches porn with
According to Robert Weiss' article Does Watching Porn Affect Intimate Relationships? , viewing porn too often can cause reduced interest in intimacy with a long-term spouse or partner. Viewing porn too often can cause men to create a vision of women as objects and cause them to regard women as lower beings in circumstances other than sex.
In a relationship, the seam of pornography cuts both ways. While it can become the force that pushes two people apart, it can also bring them closer together. For these young men and their relationships, caution in the use of pornography is key.

Jayhawk Motorsports builds race cars for competitions
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Building top-quality race cars from scratch is more than a hobby for engineering students.
Jayhawk Motorsports is a student group that designs, builds and races formula cars. The team builds two cars each year: one electric car and one combustion car that runs on ethanol. Reaching 60 mph in four seconds is the ultimate goal.
There are three teams within the Jayhawk Motorsports team: chassis and aerodynamics, suspension and powertrain.
The powertrain team works on the engine and the components of it, such as the exhaust and the cooling system. Jeff Dickinson, a senior from Manhattan, is the team lead of the eight-member powertrain队. Dickinson said that they use the cars from previous years as a guideline to figure out what went well and what didn't go so well.
Overland Park senior Matt Toft is the Leader of the seven-member suspension team. The suspension team works on parts of the cars such as the shocks, breaks and steering. Toft said the ultimate goal is to get as much force into the tires as possible. Toft has been interested in cars since he first started driving and plans to go into automotive
engineering.
"It's the freedom of getting away"
Toft said.
Adam jeffries, a senior from Leawood, is a mechanical engineering major, and the leader of the seven-member chassis team. The chassis team creates the body of the car. The bodies of the two cars are made up of several layers of carbon fiber. The design is first cut out of foam, covered in carbon fiber and then baked until hardened.
"Our biggest thing this year is reducing weight," Jeffries said. "It's an intricate process."
Some Jayhawk Motorsports team members spend 40 to 50 hours per week working in the shop. The middle of March is their goal to have all of the parts machined and put together, with April 1 as their running car deadline. Jeffries said that this project is as close to real life work as the students can get.
"It's one of the most challenging things a lot of us will ever do," jeffries said.
Robert Sorem, the faculty advisor for Jayhawk Motorsports, has been working with the team since it first started in 1993. There are about 50 team members total, including volunteers. Sorem said that the multidisciplinary aspect of the team is one of the best parts of the program.
"It encompasses everything in engineering." Sorem said.
Jayhawk Motorsports competes in multiple national competitions each summer. Last year, the team finished building one of their cars in the trailer on the way to a competition in Detroit. They finished around 60th place because they had no time to test the car after finishing it. But within one month's time, they managed to fix the problems and ended up earning first place overall at the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers West competition in Lincoln, Neb.
IT Adkins, a graduate student from Lenexa, was one of the racers last year. Adkins got into cars through his dad and said his best shot to be involved with racing was to be an engineer.
"You can see a difference between a team that tested their car a lot and those who just finished," Adkins said.
Jayhawk Motorsports' first competition this year will be in Michigan against about 120 teams from around the world. The electric car will compete at the first ever Formula Electric Competition in Lincoln, Neb., this summer. The team is also registered to compete in Austria in August.

COMMENTARY Still a title threat despite offense
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Before I start this column. I'd like to preface by saying that I think Bill Self will consistently have this offense running smoothly by the time March Madness comes along.
That being said, in the last month, other than the games against Kansas State and Texas, the offense has been teetering between stagnant and moribund. Similar to Jack Dawson at the end of Titanic, there were times when it seemed the Jayhawks' offence was going to make it onto the piece of driftwood, but there were also times when they were so cold that hypothermia seemed all but certain.
I have nothing but confidence that Bill Self will find an effective offensive game plan. It appears that transformation has already started. But even if the offense doesn't continue to improve, the Jayhawks are still a title threat.
Five years ago, when Kansas cut down the nets in San Antonio, 16 teams averaged over 80 points per game. This year, four teams average more than 80, with only one team from a power conference (Indiana). The Jayhawks were 10th in the nation with 81.5 points per game in 2008. That would put them in third this year.
SLOW POKES
Take a look at the games from Tuesday night. There were marquee games between Indiana and Michigan State, Miami (FL) and Virginia, and Missouri and Florida. No team scored more than 72 points, and the team with 72 was the "high-scoring" Indiana Hoosiers. In essence, offenses around the nation have been about as effective as laws prohibiting underage drinking.
Trends from the last ten years would suggest that Kansas is not a title threat. Statistical whiz Ken Pomeroy, creator of kenpom.com, finds trends that help predict who will compete for national championships and who will not. Since he began tracking statistics in 2003, every champion except two (Syracuse in 2003 and Connecticut in 2011) has been ranked in the top four of offensive efficiency. Most are ranked one or two. Kansas is currently ranked 25th. Also, every champion in that time has averaged at least 73 points per game. Kansas sits on the fence at 73.4.
This year could be a year that breaks the trend. The last three national championship games have resulted in the following scores: 61-59, 53-41, and 67-59. These games are exactly the kind of games Bill Self wants to see with this team. If a game is in the 50s or 60s, Kansas is right where it wants to be. In a high scoring affair, Kansas will struggle to keep up offensively. However, if the past three championship games are any indication, the jayhawks should feel comfortable relying on their defense and an offense that simply needs to be adequate.
That's not to say that Kansas will win the national championship. Right now, I wouldn't put my money on it. But they certainly are still a threat, and potential for offensive struggles do not preclude them from contention.
If Bill Self can keep the offense improving, all the better.

Tharpe's game-winning basket ends the Cowboys' seven-game streak
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Sometimes, like on Wednesday night, it only takes one shot to win a basketball game.
Sometimes, like in the waning moments of a heart wrenching double-overtime debacle, the only thing that matters is the next shot.
Sometimes, like when Kansas took down Oklahoma State 68-67 in a match that required two extra periods, you find out everything you need to know about your team.
Here's what Kansas learned: after not connecting on a field goal for nearly ten minutes, every shot looks good if it goes in.
And in that case, Naadir Tharpe took the most gorgeous shot of the season.
As Tharpe began rolling towards the paint, the Cowboys moved in to trap him, but Tharpe wouldn't have it. He spun around his defenders, launching himself immediately into the air, contorting his body perfectly and releasing a teardrop shot from just inside the lane.
With the Jayhawks down by two and twenty seconds remaining, Tharpe grabbed control of the ball at the top of key and began rolling to his left.
To that point, Kansas had missed all six of its field goal attempts in both overtimes, but had made up for it by getting to the line.
It wasn't the ideal scenario, but Elijah Johnson fouled out midway through the first overtime and Kansas coach Bill Self had no choice but to hand over his offense to the sophomore backup.
Yet even the layhawks' free shots were struggling to fall as Kansas shot 17-27 from the charity stripe.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore wasn't any help either. He started the game off with a rare 0-8 performance from the field and finished 3-12 with seven points — his lowest total of the season (his previous low was 9 points, which he's stalled at twice this year.)
The only hope Kansas had to stave off the first sweep at the hands of the Cowboys' since 1983 was Travis Releford, who played his most beautiful game of the year going 7-10 from the field with 18 points and six rebounds.
All Kansas could hope for was that with 20 seconds remaining, and down by one, it could get a good look at the basket and let fate or talent take care of the rest.
But life wasn't any easier for Oklahoma State. Its star point guard, Marcus Smart, had fouled out and it was living off its shooting guard Markel Brown's (7-15, 20 points) miracle shots to keep the Cowboys in the game.
Yet when Tharpe released his teardrop, it felt like both factors were working for the Jawhaws.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Naadir Tharpe, Sophmore Guard
For the first time all year, Tharpe had to deliver Kansas a victory without the security blanket of starting point guard Elijah Johnson, who had fouled out. Even though he shot the ball miserably all night, the sophomore delivered, hitting Kansas 'only bucket in overtime with 18 seconds remaining in the second overtime to help Kansas avoid being swept by the Cowboys.

Stars quiet in double overtime thriller
GEOFFREY CALVERT
Oklahoua State forward Kamari Murphy blocks a shot by Kansas forward Perry Ellis during the first half of Wednesday's double overtime game.
Instead, it more closely resembled a game of Whack-a-Mole.
It was expected to be a battle that could decide Big 12 Player of the Year.
gcalvert@kansan.com
Kansas freshman Ben McLemore and Oklahoma State freshman Marcus Smart combined for 58 points the last time the Jayhawks and Cowboys met, an 85-80 Oklahoma State victory in early February.
They didn't come close to that this time. They were quiet for the first 30 minutes, just two bodies on the court, briefly popping up from time to time to hit a free throw here or commit a turnover there.
And after a brief renaissance,
they disappeared again.
Smart finished with 16 points and McLemore had seven, but neither ever got into an offensive rhythm Wednesday night in Stillwater, where the Jayhawks won 68-67 in double overtime.
Both players didn't make a field goal for the first 30 minutes. McLemore was 0-8 from the field in the first half, while Smart was 0-5.
Still, with 10 minutes remaining in regulation, McLemore seemed like he might break out of his doldrums.
After sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe missed a 3-pointer,
McLemore corralled the rebound in midair and unleashed his offensive frustration with a two-handed dunk to put Kansas up by three points.
Three and a half minutes later, he swished a 3-pointer from the corner, and made a layup two minutes later.
But that was his whole night's work. McLemore didn't score for the rest of the game and shot 3-12 to give him seven points. In fact, the whole Kansas team did very little scoring the rest of the night, and didn't make a single field goal in either overtime until Tharpe's jumper with 18 seconds left in the second overtime gave Kansas the lead for good.
Smart didn't convert a field goal until he made a 2-point jumper with 3:21 remaining in the second half. But then he made a 3-pointer to tie the game at 57 points with 1:12 left in regulation. Those were two big buckets for the Cowboys, but they were Smart's only ones of the game. He finished 2-14 from the field.
Oklahoma State's Smart had an equally tough night shooting, and his body paid the price. Smart suffered shoulder and ankle injuries in the first half, and then had another injury in overtime before fouling out with 2:25 left in the second overtime.
than McLemore, because Smart got to the free throw line 14 times and made 11 free throws. McLemore didn't visit the free throw line once.
For all of his offensive struggles, Smart nearly made everyone forget about them. At the end of the first overtime Smart threw up a miracle heave from three-quarters of the court.
But he had a bigger offensive presence throughout the game
It clanked off of the front of the rim, but if it had been another inch
or so longer, the shot of the year would have given the Cowboys control of the driver's seat in the Big 12 title race. Instead, Kansas and Kansas State are tied for first place in the conference at 10-3, while the Cowboys are at 9-4. But Kansas owns the tiebreaker over Kansas State by virtue of its two victories against the Wildcats.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Chalmers joins Kansas greats with jersey retirement
Q: Chamberlain's season high points per game average was?
A: 50.4 points per game in 1961.
NBA.com
After enjoying a week's worth of Mario Chalmers nostalgia, I couldn't help but wonder where his No. 15 jersey would fit among the other 27 hanging up in the Allen Fieldhouse rafters. After all, there was a little bit of skepticism from the public when it was announced that his jersey was going to be retired.
Depending on whether you count the Helms Foundation championships in 1922 and 1923, Kansas has won 3 to 5 National Championships. Before Mario's Miracle shot against Memphis in 2008, Danny Manning and the rest of the 1988 team were the last bunch to cut down the nets. Even at Kansas, winning a National Championship (at the very least) throws your name into the hat for having your jersey commemorated.
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
Throughout his career in Lawrence, Chalmers was a magnet for defensive awards, averaging 2.6 steals per game, according to sports-reference.com. He also averaged 12.2 points and 2.8 assists per game. Not to mention he has an NBA Championship by his name.
I liken Chalmers to former guard Kirk Hinrich, whose jersey was retired in 2009.
He averaged 12.4 points, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game during his highly decorated career at Kansas. Hinrich came close to winning that ever-fleeting championship, but was defeated by Syracuse in 2003. With National Championships coming so few and far between, it's difficult to ignore Chalmers' resume. And it goes without mentioning that the championship comeback and miraculous last-second shot will be forever sung in our memories as Jayhawk fans.
Stilt" Chamberlain.
I consider Chalmers one of Kansas' best, but upon researching other Kansas greats, I couldn't help but fall meserized by one player in particular: Wilt "The
In his first game as a Jayhawk, Chamberlain shattered the single game points and rebounds record at Kansas. His trademark finger-roll and fadeaway jump shot were indefensible at every level, but especially at Kansas from 1956 to 1958.
Chamberlain had an illustrious career in the NBA from 1959-1973 as well. According to NBA.com, he was the only player in NBA history to average 30 points and 20 rebounds per game in a season, the only player to score 100 points in a single NBA game, and he set the all-time record for rebounds in a single game: 55. When it was all said and done, Chamberlain won two NBA championships and was named an All-Star 13 times.
KU
The 7-foot-1 monstrosity literally changed the game of basketball. When toeing the line for a free throw, Chamberlain would toss his shot off the backboard, run into the lane and dunk the ball. It was unstoppable, and was later outlawed by the NBA to neutralize his dominance. Wilt was also responsible for widening the lane from 12 to 16 feet, and influenced the goaltending rule: a player can no longer
touch the ball when it is within the cylinder of the basket.
Kansas is home to the creator of basketball, Wilt Chamberlain. It is an incredible honor to be mentioned among these greats. Congrats to Mario. This is truly the basketball capital of the world.

WOMEN'S GOLF
Coach switches lineup in hope of better showing this week
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
Kansas women's head golf coach Erin O'Neil Miller wasn't satisfied with the performance of her team in last week's spring season debut at the Florida State Match-Up Invitational. So for O'Neil, it was back to the drawing board this week, and replacing Gabbay DiMarco and Michelle Woods in next week's Sir Pizza Terrapin Challenge will be Audrey Yowell and transfer Minami Levonowich.
"The spot where we kind of lost some shots [last week] was on the bottom part of the lineup in the four and five spot," O'Neil said. "In fall, we had pretty much across the
board everyone shooting in the 70s, and at this tournament, that's where I think we lost a couple shots."
The loss of shots towards the bottom of the lineup was enough for O'Neil to switch things up for the Jayhawks' second trip to Florida in two weeks. This time they are bound for Weston, Fla. to participate in the Sir Pizza Terrapin Challenge on Monday and Tuesday.
"It was all pretty close in qualifying score-wise and we just figured we would give somebody a chance, see how they do, and go from there," O'Neil said. "We will evaluate again at the end of this tournament, and if we need to change again, we will."
Impressing O'Neil and leading the Jayhawks in last week's Invitational was Meghan Potee, who O'Neil claims is swinging as good as she has ever seen. Potee finished T-18 at last week's Invitational. An equipment change seems to have been the answer for Potee.
"She got fitted for her clubs over the break and got a new set so I think that's a big part of why she is hitting the ball so well because the clubs fit her real well," O'Neil said. "And it's the best I've ever seen her hit it."
The other two remaining in this week's lineup will be Thailand natives Yawinpakorn Kawinpakorn and Thanuttra Boonrakasat. Kawinpakorn won two tournaments last fall and Boonrakasat held the team's lowest scoring average. Kawinpakorn had a rough first round
last week, but was quick to bounce back firing 74 and 72 in the closing days.
"Her [Kawinpakorn] putting was off that first round and normally that's her strength," said O'Neil. "I think she'll do real well at this tournament and I think it's going to be similar to what she and Phong [Boonrakasat] play on in Thailand. Kind of grass. Same kind of layout."
The struggles weren't as minor for Boonrakasat who finished with a 78 average for the tournament after holding the lowest round average for the Jayhawks at the conclusion of the fall season at 74.4.
"I think she made a few tweaks to her swing over the break and I think the first tournament she was
still getting a little use to it," O'Neil said. "I think her putting also kind of got her and that's more of what got her...she switched back to her old putter this week so I think she'll get back on track."
Last week's Florida State Match-Up Invitational was packed with competition, and although this week's tournament is as strong by the numbers, O'Neil still thinks her players can make a strong finish in a strong field.
Last week had a lot of high ranked teams and this weeks probably for of a mid level competition so its definitely very reasonable for us to play well and a good course for us.
The Sir Pizza Terrapin Challenge field of 16 teams will include eight
top-100 ranked teams (according to GolfWeek) including Kansas at number 67. North Carolina State is the only team ranked in the top-50. Last week's field included six top-50 teams and three top-100 teams in addition to that, including Kansas.
But as big as numbers may be, O'Neil's current focus is mentality.
"They have the ability to really perform well and to win every week that they go out," O'Neil said. "I am hoping that they'll start to see that and believe it in themselves and not just hear me saying it. We have to go out and make the right decisions and keep working hard."

The Jayhawks are excited to get another shot at taking on Auburn at the Islanders Classic in Corpus Christi.
Kansas will play Texas &M-Corpus Christi, Auburn, Southern University and New Mexico this weekend in Corpus Christi. The Jayhawks hope to build on bright spots that they have had the first two weekends and to work on being more consistent.
Coach Megan Smith and players are most excited to get another chance to play Auburn. The Jayhawks fell to Auburn 8-5 after holding the lead until the Tigers exploded for five runs with one out left in the sixth inning.
Smith said that Auburn is a real

ly good team to play and is a good challenge for them.
The Jayhawks will get their second chance at Auburn Friday at 1 p.m. Auburn is 10-1 on the season with their lone blemish coming against Tennessee Chattanooga. The Tigers have a game against Georgia State Wednesday before they square off with Kansas.
"We are? Very excited to get another chance at Auburn," said senior infielder Mariah Montgomery. "I know that is a lot of what we are excited about this weekend."
Christi has managed a 2-8 record this season and has played a couple Big 12 foes, Baylor and Texas. The Corpus Christi Islanders have only managed to score three or more runs in three out of 10 games thus far this season. The Jayhawks will look to start the Islanders Classic strong against Corpus Christi.
Kansas will face Texas &M-Corpus Christi Thursday at 5 p.m. and again Friday at 11 a.m. Corpus
The Jayhawks will face Southern University on Saturday and New Mexico on Sunday. Southern has yet to earn a victory this season with an overall record of 0-10. The Jaguars have failed to score more than one run in eight out of 10 games this season.
New Mexico has a 5-8 record overall and lost their first seven games of the season but have since won five of their last six.

"We're just excited to see where we stand," Bermel said. "I think the guys are ready, the coaches are excited and we're excited just to go out there and see where we stack up against other team."
Bermel did say for sure that Chris Gilbert, Jackson Foth, and Shane Gautier will be participating in this weekend's festivities. Tagging along for the trip will be Alex Gutesha,
CHRIS HYBL chybi@kansan.com
It was a rough fall for the jayhawks, but that's part of the reason Bermel is so anxious to get back on the course.
"We haven't decided on the last two spots, but that's a good thing," Bermel said. "We're going to give them a couple days when we get out there and see how they're playing. Whatever five we pick, we still need four good scores, and that's going to be critical."
Dylan McClure, Ryley Haas, and Bryce Brown. Two of the four will be selected to round out the starting five. Kansas played around with a variety of lineups in the fall, but there haven't been any indicators as to when a solidified lineup can be expected. As for now, Bermel's just anxious for his teams' first test.
Quite a few Kansas men's golfers got tournament experience last fall. Nine golfers played in at least one tournament last season, which is drawing attention to the lineup Kansas head coach Jamie Bermel will exact when the Jayhawks tee of their 2013 season at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate Tournament in Palm Desert, Calif., tomorrow. But as for the specifics of the line-up, that's still up in the air.
"Within the team, I think I've seen some guys make a lot of progress from where we started in August and hopefully they continue that progress in this first event of the spring."
Leading Kansas will be senior Chris Gilbert who finished as the Jayhawks leading individual golfer in the last four of the team's five fall
tournaments. Gilbert racked up two top-five finishes included a T-1 finish at the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate Tournament in Intercollegiate
“When he goes to a golf tournament he's expecting to win, which is pretty cool to see for a kid who has only won once,” Kansas head coach Jamie Bermel said. “But that's what winning can do for you and I don't think that's changing because it's our first event of the spring. He's played there before, he knows the golf course and right now he's playing well. I'm excited to get out and see what he can do, see if it carries over from the fall to the spring.”
The tournament will be played at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif., starting Friday with 18 holes each day through Sunday. Kansas is one of 17 participants: three of them Big 12 foes including TCU, Iowa State and TexasTech. Regional opponents Nebraska and Wichita State will also be in attendance.

Loss in Texas worst in Jayhawks' conference play
I MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Kansas' 93-83 loss to Texas was surprising, but not the most shocking upset in Big 12 women's basketball on Wednesday night, not even in the state of Texas. Just before the end of the Jayhawks 'set back, No. 22 ranked Oklahoma State fell to last-place TCU in Fort Worth.
When the Jayhawks met Texas last month, the Longhorns were without their two top scorers, junior Cassidy Fussell and sophomore Nnekə Ennempki, Kansas won that game by nearly 40.
Fussell and Enempkali combined for 41 points in the 10-point win on Wednesday.
The 31 points scored by senior guard Angel Goodrich and the 23 points scored by senior forward Carolyn Davis were not enough for the Jayhawks to match the Longhorns scoring outburst of 93 points on 65 percent shooting from the field.
Senior Monica Engelman and sophomore Chelsea Gardner both fouled out after scoring eight
points each. Engelman had scored 47 points over the last two games for Kansas before the loss to Texas. Gardner provided just two rebounds in 21 minutes played before leaving the game.
The 83 points by Kansas is the most they have scored on the road in a non-overtime game all season.
The layhawks had fewer turnovers, more assists, and more points in the paint, but still could not keep up with Texas.
On Tuesday, before the jay-
hawks left for Austin, Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson said that she didn't think she needed to remind her team of the lack of energy they played with in the first half against TCU.
In the first half on Wednesday Kansas fell into another early hole, and its defense struggled to stop the Texas offense in any way.
"We dug ourselves in such a hole in the first half, (Texas) had easy shots, which was inexcusable, and they had us on our heels," Henrickson said. "We didn't play well defensively and didn't show any pop, which is really disappointing. In this league you have to be ready to play."
The Longhorns shot 76 percent in the first half, and went into the locker room with a 47-35 lead. In the second half, Kansas attempted to make a late run and scored 48 second half points, but Texas held them off.
It's hard to see how exactly this loss will affect the Jayhawks in March, but the team seemed to be on the bubble until defeating Oklahoma last Sunday. This loss could likely put them back on that bubble.
Kansas falls into a three way tie for fifth in the Big 12 standings with Oklahoma State and West Virginia at 7-7. Texas has just three wins against the Big 12 and 10 wins this season. It's never easy to win on the road in the Big 12, but Wednesday's loss is the worst this season for the Jayhawks.
On Saturday the Jayhawks will return to Allen Fieldhouse for an opportunity to bounce back with a win over Texas Tech.

THARPE FROM PAGE 1B
enough for fans to remember that if it was off, Kansas would no longer be in control of its quest for a ninth straight Big 12 title. It fell quick enough that there wasn't time to process what that meant.
There wasn't time to celebrate:
Oklahoma State still had enough time to create a fateful field goal of its own and there
was no doubt the ball was going back to Brown.
But sometimes, like when Kansas avenged its home loss to OSU from three weeks ago, you have to win on defense no matter how big of a shot you just made.
And whom else would it be but Travis Releford coming up with a steal to seal a Kansas victory?
Sometimes, you just need a little extra time to finish the job.

TRACK AND FIELD
Men's team to compete in Iowa
COLIN WRIGHT
cwright@kansan.com
The Kansas men's track and field squad will compete in the Big 12 Indoor Championships this weekend Saturday at Iowa State University's Lied Recreation Center.
While the men have won 27 Indoor Conference Championships, the last one came 30 years ago. In order to rise to the top of the league this weekend, they will need a strong outing on the track. Senior Kyle Clemons is looking to become the first KU athlete on the men's side to win two titles at the same conference championship. He currently has the fastest time of the season in the Big 12 in the 600 meters and the second fastest
in the 400 meters.
The men's distance medley relay team of junior Nick Seckfort (1200 meters), freshman Drew Matthews (400 meters), junior Benndou Soucie (800 meters) and Munsch (1,600 meters) ran a season best time of 9:46.92 earlier this season, which currently stands as
Junior Josh Munsch will look to place in the 1,600 meters. He currently has the sixth fastest mile run in school history with a time of 4:03.18. The Jayhawks have a strong core of pole vaulters who will compete to score to valuable points. Junior Alex Bishop's season-best vault of 5.31 meters (17-5 ft.) currently ranks 21st in the nation, and sophomore Greg Lupton is only a half-inch behind him.
the tenth best time in the nation this season.
The Jayhawks have a number of athletes who will look to earn a spot in the NCAA Indoor Championships, which is just two weeks away. The men will send a total of 24 athletes to the conference championships, led by just two seniors, Clemson and Josh Baden.

The men will have a chance to have an individual win an event at the indoor conference championship for the first time since 2010. The meet is all day this Friday and Saturday on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

P
Los
An essential dog in the architecture of the Kansas tennis team is Paulina Los, who has won every match she has played this spring except the two she played against a ranked Tulsa队. Los, a junior from Poland, is a good indicator of the team's success as the team has
only lost once in a 4-3 nail-biter against No. 67 College of Charleston, when she won both matches.
Another Jayhawk to look out for is freshman Anastasija Trubica, who went undefeated last weekend in South Carolina including one of the two wins in singles play on Saturday. Trubica couples with Haley Fournier in doubles play, and if the road trip was any indicator they appear to be hitting their mideason stride. The duo was 2-0 on the trip.
Notching a win against Kentucky is not going to be easy; the Wildcats are ranked No. 63 and are 5-2 with a three-game winning streak on the line Saturday.
For Kentucky, the player to watch is freshman Nadia Ravita, who is 7-1 on the season in singles play. She is a threat in doubles play with Junior Caitlin McGraw, forming Kentucky's No. 1 doubles duo, as they have already notched wins against
top-ranked teams such as No. 55 Ohio State.
On Sunday, the Drake Bulldogs are on the schedule. This match has the elements of a trap game for the jayhawks. While Drake is not ranked and is not above .500 on the season, they are not traveling to lose, and with a quick turnaround from a ranked team to an inferior team on paper, there is potential for compliance on the part of Kansas.
Both teams have something in common—they were unable to defeat Tulsa. After losing to Tulsa, Kentucky is 3-0, while Kansas is 1-1.
With the upper-class leadership on the team coupled with the grit shown throughout the season, Sunday should not be a tetow. Both matches are set for noon.

time, later estimated Stallworth would have had 63 points if the three-point shot had been in existence.
- April 4, 1988: Kansas 83. Oklahoma 79. Danny Manning scores 31 points and nabs 18 rebounds to help Kansas claim its second NCAA Championship. His 24.8 points per game are the most since Bud Stallworth averaged 25.3 points per game in 1971-1972.
- Dec 9, 1989: Kansas 150, Kentucky 95. The Jayhawks dismantle college basketball's winning program. Terry Brown leads Kansas with 31 points, while six other Jayhawks score in double figures. It's the most points Kansas has scored in a game.
- Feb., 25, 2012: With the Border War appearing to be on hold for the near future, Kansas' 87-86 overtime victory over Missouri proved to be one of the greatest games in the rivalries history while also adding to the lore of the Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks overcame a 19-point second half deficit to force overtime and the eventual victory.
***
Tom Keegan has been the Sports Editor at the Lawrence Journal-World since 2005. He's seen countless baseball cathedrals, stepped on football's hallowed ground and placed his feet on some of the oldest hardwood in this country.
In his time as a sports journalist, however, the only place that's compared to Allen Fieldhouse is Indiana's Assembly Hall when Bob Knight led the Hoosiers to several national titles.
"Kansas was always dominant, but until you get here you don't realize how amazing that two-hour game atmosphere is", Keegan said. "The place is so intimate. People are just so into it.
I haven't been to Cameron Indoor Stadium, but the people I've talked to say that Allen Fieldhouse is better."
The Jayhawks had a celebration similar to the one this weekend for the 1952 national championship team last year, but this one seems different.
"It's the 25th anniversary of the '88 team, but in today's world you know every day where Danny Manning is and Chris Piper is still around so I don't think a 25 year anniversary is as that big of deal as it would have been for the '52 team because we're constantly writing about those guys," Keegan said.
In the time frame since Kansas won that national title the Jayhawks only have had three coaches: Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self.
And with many of the national powerhouses missing on coaches in that time frame it's pretty impressive for the Kansas basketball machine to move along steadily.
"What I think seperates Kansas from every other program in the country is you've got three back-to-back-to-back long-tenedured coaches who each have done amazing things and no other program can say that," Keegan said.
For Keegan he ranks the coaches at Bill Self, Roy Williams and Larry Brown in that order.
He discussed how after the amazing run Williams had, Self managed to elevate the Jayhawk program to an even higher level, including the Big 12 conference title streak that is currently at eight seasons.
"Who would have thought about that to upgrade what Roy Williams did?" Keegan said.
***
Scot Pollard has a problem when he commentates Kansas basketball games for Channel 6 in Lawrence. His body doesn't fully understand that it doesn't play for the lavahws anmore.
As Pollard prepares to call the action he sounds stimulated by the sights and he's around him. The roaring band gets his adrenaline pumping, the capacity crowd gets his fingers twitching and by the time the introduction video plays, he's sweating all over.
"My body still thinks it's time to go," Pollard said. "The hardest thing for me is to not look like a mess on camera. I'm getting better at that."
It's not that Pollard isn't ready to be retired, he just can't help it. The venue brings it out in him. It has ever since his first trip to Lawrence back in high school.
The big man was set to play at Arizona until witnessing Late Night in the Phog. He realized he found something more special.
"When I came here it was just overwhelming how crazy the fans were about Kansas basketball," Pollard said. "That was a big deal to me. I committed right on the spot."
With the lajayhawks celebrating 115 years as a program, Pollard is just proud to be a part of the tradition.
"No one else has got 115 years to celebrate," Pollard said. "That in itself is very special just to say 'Yeah, 115 years of Kansas basketball. How long have you been playing?'
And he certainly hasn't forgotten what it means to be a part of that tradition. Even during Pollard's 11-year NBA career he kept close to his Kansas roots and other Jayhawks in the league. Or as Pollard puts it: his family.
That family was never closer than when it came to celebrate the best Kansas basketball players of all time in the Legends of the Phog game last season.
"The Legends game will always be the last time I play basketball," Pollard said. "That was the best way I could go out as a player. On my home floor in college in the place that created my NBA career for me."
It sums up the tradition of Kansas basketball better than anything else can. Pollard still can't stay away from it and his body isn't ready to leave it.
Still he knows the team, the history and the customs won't be going anywhere.
"Kansas basketball is in great hands," Pollard said. "Everybody knows that. Bill Self is the best coach in college basketball right now. There's not a better guy at winning games when it's time to win games."

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
Kansas will be looking for some serious revenge after losing to the 238th ranked team in the country. At this point, it appears the game in Forth Worth was an anomaly including one of the worst halves of basketball in Kansas history. Still, the Jayhawks have superior talent to the Horned Frogs and on paper it appears they should be able to handle this team when the game is in Allen Fieldhouse this time.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Perry Ellis, forward
The freshman from Wichita has shown flashes of brilliance, but there's been very few games where he's got extensive minutes. If Kansas gets out to a major lead.
M. BAHRAINI
Ellis
look for Ellis to be inserted into the lineup where he can show off what he's been able to do in practice. Ellis is a solid player who eventually will be a major contributor for the Jayhawks. Look for him to possibly play 10 or 15 minutes more than his allotted time.
Will The Jayhaws lose against the Horned Frogs?
QUESTION MARK
No. Kansas is a top 10 in the country that played its worst game of the season against TCU this year. They will come out and play with intensity and emotion, and possibly some revenge. Plus, this being TCU's first trip to the Fieldhouse in a long time has to have some shock value.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
Kansas continues to play like they did last week against Texas and Kansas State. The fluidity and coolness the Jayhawks played with in those games is the amount of confidence needed for Kansas to make a deep run in March. As long as Johnson and Tharpe both take control of this team, there's a good chance for Kansas to be better the next few weeks.
NUMBERS
270 – The number of positions Kansas was behind TCU in the Ken Pomery rankings when they lost the last time.

DAY
Kansas seeks revenge Saturday Jayhawks have a chance for redemption
KANSAS (22-4,10-3)
Johnson
STARTERS
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
For the first time in weeks, Johnson has shown more aggressiveness around the rim while also being passive when Naadir Tharpe needs to take over the game. Johnson is not all the way back to his original form from earlier in the season, but he's definitely more comfortable and continues to stay humble. Johnson struggled in the last game to go three of 12 with only eight points in 31 minutes of play against the Horned Frogs on Feb. 6.
McLemor
PETER JOHNSON
Releford
★★★☆☆
BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
What else is there to say about McLemore? The impressive freshman pulled off a 360 dunk to perfection against Texas. He wore a chicken head in the 'Harlem Shake' video. And now he's a contender for Big 12 Player of the Year. The only place for improvement is for him to be more aggressive, and if he can learn to dribble a little better, he'll be even more lethal. At the moment, McLemore is staying ahead of Danny Manning's pace for freshman record with his 16.7 ppg.
BRIAN MORGAN
★★★★★
Young
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Releford's defense continues to be an ultimate glue guy for this team helping with offensive and defensive rebounding for the Jayhawks. Releford remains one of the staple players for this team, and his ability to knock down open threes at the moment contributes to his overall success. He scored a team-high 15 points against Texas. Releford is shooting 56.8 percent the last six games.
★★★☆
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
Freshman forward Perry Ellis got the start off Young the last time these two teams faced off, but don't expect that to be the case this time. Young continues to be an important energy guy for the Jayhawks and will be a vital part of Kansas cruising to a victory against TCU. Young's role on the team continues to change throughout year, and he appears to be going with the flow for the most part. Eximite him to keep trucking along.
Withey
★★★☆☆
With his two blocks on Saturday against Texas, Withey broke the Big 12 career blocks record of former Longhorns Chris Mihim. Withey played 33 minutes in the last meeting in Forth Worth with 12 points and eight rebounds. Withey struggled with the Horned Frogs' smaller players, but it might have been a bad game like everyone else that day. At this point, Withey is marching closer to All-American status, and there's no sign of stopping. Withey leads the Big 12 and is third nationally with 4 blocked shots per game.

STARTERS
KYAN ANDERSON. GUARD
LAKERS
Anderson joins Green as the only two players to start every game this season, and he leads TCU in scoring with 11.2 points per game. Since being held to eight points against the Jayhawks earlier this month, Anderson has scored in double figures in four straight games. He is in the top-10 in the Big 12 in both assists and steals.
★★★☆☆
Anderson
NATE BUTLER LIND, GUARD
The senior doesn't bring much of a scoring threat to the table, but his 42 assists show he is capable of helping Anderson distribute the ball across the floor. His biggest contributions will probably come on defense, where he's totaled 16 blocks and 24 steals, both of which rank second on the team. He did reach 10 points in the first game against Kansas.
★★☆☆☆
GARLON GREEN, FORWARD
One of only two Horned Frogs to start every game this season, Green is second on the team with 10.2 points per game, including a 20-point outing against Kansas in Fort Worth on Feb. 6. But he's scored in single digits in three of the past four games, shooting 12-47.
JAMES CURRIE
Green
★★★☆☆
CONNELL CROSSLAND, FORWARD
Crossland grabbed 15 rebounds in the first meeting this season between the schools and contributed eight points. He is second on the team with 5.9 rebounds per game. Crossland spits starts with Devonta Abron and Adrick McKinney, but he's the least likely one to be on the court in a tight game. The senior shoots only 45 percent from the free throw line.

★★☆☆★
Crossland
DEVONTA ABRON, FORWARD
Although not known for being a scorer, Abron's 12 points against Oklahoma earlier this month was only one point shy of trying his career high. But of all Horned Frogs with at least 100 shot attempts on the season, Abron's 55 percent shooting is the best. He also leads the team with 19 blocks.

TIPOFF
TCU
HOMELAND FREEDOM
AT A GLANCE
TCU hasn't won a conference game since beating Kansas, which remains its only conference win of the season. It's a stretch to say the Horned Frogs could replicate its feat and sweep the season series against Kansas, especially since the Jayhawks have won two of their last three games by more than 20 points. The fact that it's noteworthy that the Horned Frogs last loss to Texas, which was only their second conference loss, by single digits sums up the program's state.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Green
Garlic Green, forward
NIKE
He had 20 points when the Horned Frogs defeated Kansas in early February on 7-13 shootings. The senior is only 6-foot-7, so if he starts to heat up again, Bill Self
could let defensive specialist Travis Reiford have a turn to guard him. Green also led TCU in scoring in its last game Feb. 19 against Texas, but he needs to be more active on the glass for the Horned Frogs to pull off the upset tonight.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Horned Frogs pull off the upset again?
TCU held Kansas to 13 points in the first half when the two schools first met on Feb. 6. But even then, the Horned Frogs only won by seven points because they really didn't play that much better than Kansas. Logic suggests that the Horned Frogs couldn't coerce Kansas into playing that bad of a first half again. But TCU already pulled off the upset once and it could be even more focused to play now that it gets an opportunity to knock off Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF..
Kansas doubts itself. The Jayhawks got open looks at the basket that they routinely missed during their first loss to the Horned Frogs, and their offensive struggles seemed to become more contagious as the game wore on. If Kansas starts slowly again offensively, it needs to remember that its style of basketball has helped it win 21 games so far this season. With Reileford and McLemore, Kansas has the weapons to create easy offense through transition buckets.
PREDICTION:
NUMBERS
54. 2 - TCU is the only team in the Big 12 that scores under 60 points per game, and their 54.2 points per game is 345th nationally.
226 - The Horned Frogs' No. 226 RPI is the worst in the Big 12 conference and they join Texas Tech as the only two Big 12 teams to have an RPI higher than 200.

Gov. Brownback includes current storm in emergency declaration; snow, rain, and wind predicted through Tuesday
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS STADIUM
MORE ON THE WAY
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
More rain and snowfall in the Lawrence area is forecasted through Tuesday. According to the National Weather Service, high winds and accumulation of about one inch of snow is possible today, with six to ten inches possible tonight.
This will be the second major storm to hit the area in less than one week, and Gov. Sam Brownback has included this storm in the state of emergency declaration he signed last week.
Since the first thunder of Thursday morning's storm, Lawrence has received ten inches of snow. The University canceled classes Thursday and Friday because of inclement weather, marking the first inclement weather cancellations in two years. Winter Storm Q — the first major snowstorm since 2011 — dumped more snow on Lawrence in one day than it has seen in decades.
Only weather-essential staff braved
the snow storm to reach campus during the snow days. The fourday weekend brought rescheduling of tests, lectures and appointments as students and faculty shoveled out driveways, dug out their cars and hit Campanile Hill, 14th Street and other local hills to sled.
The City of Lawrence and Douglas County worked together to keep clear major streets. Abandoned vehicles littered K-10 and I-70 as drivers overwhelmed by winter driving conditions slid into snow banks.
Edited by Tara Bryant
The National Weather Service expects conditions today and tomorrow to be cold and breezy. While the forecast calls for a 80 percent chance of precipitation, little to no ice is expected. Citizens are responsible for snow removal of their driveway and sidewalks adjacent to their property, and the City of Lawrence encourages capable property owners to assist less able neighbors.

City gives preliminary approval to build recreation center
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Plans to construct a recreation center in northwest Lawrence are moving forward. On Feb. 19, city commissioners gave preliminary approval to continue with a development plan that would give residents a $25 million facility.
The 181,000 square foot proposed rec center would be in the same area as the new KU track and field, soccer and softball stadiums. It would include eight outdoor tennis courts and eight full tennis courts as well as a walking track, an indoor turf field, fitness equipment and room for a wellness center.
Currently, Lawrence has four rec centers and one at KU, but members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and representatives for the city say there is a need for one in western Lawrence. The

project has been in the works for more than 10 years.
"That's our number one goal, to meet the needs of our citizens," Shaw said.
Commissioners will have two weeks to review and make any necessary changes to the project. The final vote on the development plans will come from the city on March 5. If approved, the project will go through a bidding process to choose a contractor and could be ready to start construction in early April.

Legal Services for Students offers help with taxes
This tax season, Legal Services for Students is offering a free tax-filing service. In addition to free online software accessible through its website, LSS is providing complimentary tax workshops for students.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
For Phil Wagner, a graduate student from Lynchburg, Va., using the service saves him from spending his tax return on professional tax preparation, given he must file in both Kansas and Virginia.
"H&R Block quoted me $300 to file my taxes," Wagner said. "I'm a graduate student with a kid, and that's not going to work for me."
of the tax workshop, filing taxes should not take students more than an hour to complete.
"We are trying to teach students how to prepare their taxes themselves," said Jo Hardesty, director of LSS. "Students need to have their taxes before they apply for financial aid through FAFSA."
In order to apply for FAFSA by March 1, the priority deadline, students need to first file their taxes, Hardesty said.
Juliette Nguyen, a law student from Wichita, is helping with the tax workshops as part of her LSS internship.
"Right now, it's slow, but come March, it will get crazy," Nguyen said.
Nguyen said students can come
to workshops at their convenience to ask questions and finish their filing at home. All persons earning less than $57,000 annually qualify for the service, including international students.
Konstantinos Petrakopoulos, a graduate student from Athens, used the service to acquaint himself with the US tax filing system.
The schedule for tax workshops can be found at: http://legalservices.ku.taxworkshops.shtml
"This is my first time."
Petrakopoulos said. "They answered my questions, and their behavior was very helpful."

Student Senate approves bill for SILC renovations
HANNAH BARLING
hbarline@kansan.com
Student Senate passed a bill to fund the Student Involvement and Leadership Center (SILC) renovations at the full senate meeting last Wednesday.
KU Memorial Unions first proposed the bill two weeks ago at the first cycle of legislation for the semester. The Union originally asked for $60,000 to which it would match, estimating a total of a $120,000 project. Student Senate voted to postpone the bill until it could get more student feedback about the center. It appointed a committee to choose a design for the renovations.
After the student committee and KU Memorial Unions came up with the plan, they worked with representatives from Steelcase, a workspace design company, to get a more precise estimate for the renovations. The new estimated cost was $85,900. Senate passed the funding at the new price of $42,950 with KU Memorial Unions paying the other half of the project.
There are 574 registered student groups on campus. Only 25 groups currently have assigned work spaces in the SLC. The stations are cubicle style with tall walls around the desks. Student Body President Hannah Bolton, said the current cubicles don't allow for natural light and are not convenient for group work.
The renovations will begin after graduation in May. The SILC is planned to be renovated in time for New Student Orientation starting June 10.
With the new design, there will be 24 assigned work stations and 10 unassigned work stations. There will also be two bar-height tables that can be pushed together for more collaborative work. Two recycling centers will also be installed in the renovated SILC. Coca Cola funded one unit at $2,200. After the renovations, more student groups should be able to utilize the space and work together.

Opening statements begin in 'Cannibal Cop' case
CRIME
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Gilberto Valle's mind is full of sick thoughts — and he wants a injury to know it.
The baby-faced tabloid sensation known as the "Cannibal Cop" is even expected to take the stand to make the case that it was all fantasy, that his online chats were so offensive, so over-the-top that they couldn't possibly be taken seriously.
The New York City police officer accused of kidnapping conspiracy admits to thinking about abducting, cooking and devouring young women. His own lawyer has shown prospective jurors a kinky staged photo of a woman trussed up in a roasting pan to test their tolerance for the officer's "weir proclivities"
If jurors were to believe that the countless people who visit fetish chat rooms were real cannibals, then where's the horrific feeding frenzy?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIRZA HUSSAIN
It's a gambit that will begin to
play out Monday with opening statements in one of the city's most bizarre federal court cases in recent memory.
In this courtroom drawing, federal defender Julia Gatto requests bail for her client, New York City police officer Gilberto Valle, right, at Manhattan Federal Court in New York. The New York City police officer accused of kidnapping conspiracy admits to thinking about abducting, cooking and devouring young women.
Valle, a 28-year-old college graduate and father, was just another NYPD
possible life sentence.
patrolman until late last year, when he was charged with conspiring to kidnap a woman and unauthorized use of a law enforcement database.
"I'm planning on getting me some girl meat," he allegedly wrote in one chat room. "It's this November, for Thanksgiving. ... She's not a volunteer. She has to be abducted."
Beyond the tabloid headlines that blared "Finnest Young Cannibal" and "Cook em Danno," the accusations were startling and serious: The FBI, following a tip from Valle's estranged wife, unearthed an alleged plot to cook and eat dozens of women, all graphically detailed in a trail of emails, computer files and instant messages. A conviction on the kidnapping count carries a
Another purported target was an 18-year-old high school student who Valle wrote was "the most desirable piece of meat I've ever met" and was small enough to fit in his oven.
A criminal complaint claimed that Valle had created a computer file cataloging at least 100 women with their names, addresses and photos. And it accused him of illegally culling some of the information from the restricted law enforcement database and doing surveillance on some of his potential victims.
"The government's case is nothing more than a hard drive full of disturbing, sexually deviant talk..."
A New Jersey man also was charged with scheming with Valle to kidnap, rape and murder a Manhattan woman and is awaiting trial. He, too, says he intended no harm.
JULIA GATTO defense attorney of Gilberto Valle
At a bail hearing,
prosecutors insisted
Valle was a would-be
killer who should
be jailed without
bail. A
judge agreed, calling the charges "profoundly disturbing" and "the most depraved, most dangerous conduct that can be imagined."
Rather than deny the deprivity, defense attorney Julia Gatto immediately began mounting a defense to highlight it, to drive home the argument that Valle's only appetite was for fantasies.
"The government's case is nothing more than a hard drive full of disturbing, sexually deviant talk between my client and other men who share his, albeit weird, pro-
clivities," she said.
The defense has been bolstered by pretrial rulings that will allow Valle's lawyers to call expert witnesses expected to give jurors a tutorial on online sexual deviance and fetishes often called "vore," short for carnivore.
A clinical sexologist will testify about sexually explicit websites that "resemble improvisational theater," court papers say. "The style is to maintain the repartee, regardless of how implausible, ridiculous or even impossible the conversations get."
A forensic psychiatrist and criminologist who examined Valle and contends most men "who have sexually sadistic fantasies ... engage in no harmful actions toward others," the papers say.
The witness found that Valle has no serious mental illness or personality disorders related to violence. Instead, he says, the defendant has recurring fantasies of sexual sadism — a condition known as paraphilia.
The jury also will be shown the videotaped testimony of a Moscow man who created darkfetchishnet.com. He's expected to testify that he modeled his website after Facebook so those with similar sexual fantasies could share their interests.
The site claims more than 38,000 members and cautions that it "is for all fantasies, not real death." A 38-year-old member from the United States says in his profile that he enjoys "the thought of torturing girls in the most horrific ways. I've been a freak since my early teens,
and I don't see this changing."
Duringjuryselection, the defense quizzed candidates on whether they have a bias against people who frequent websites depicting sadomasochistic behavior.
At trial's end, Valle's fate will rest with a jury of six men and six women, most of whom are college-educated and have lived in Manhattan or New York's suburbs most of their lives. One collects antiques. Two are amateur musicians.
A 50-year-old woman on the jury wrote of her film preferences: "Without my husband, horror movies; with my husband, everything else."

Another major storm hits central plains
DODGE CITY — A second major winter storm was bearing down on the central plains Sunday, forcing cancellations and sending public works crews scrambling for salt and sand supplies less than a week after another system dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of the region.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard watch from Sunday evening through late Monday for much of western Kansas ahead of the strong storm system packing high winds and sleet that has been tracking across western Texas toward Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The area was hit by a massive storm last week that dumped a foot of snow in some sections, closed airports and caused numerous accidents.
"It would have been nice if wed had a few days to recover, to do some equipment rehab," said Joe Pajar, deputy director of public works in Wichita, which saw
its second-highest snowfall even Thursday with 14.2 inches.
Other totals from the Thursday snowstorm included 18 inches in the southern Kansas town of Zenda; 17 inches in Hays; about 13 inches in northeast Missouri and 12 inches of snow in parts of Kansas City, Kan.
Steve Corfidi, meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the storm also will affect southern states and could spawn tornadoes Tuesday in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida panhandle and Georgia.
"It definitely will be one of the more significant events of the season, the winter season," Corfidi said. "Both in winter weather and severe weather potential and rain down in the southeast United States."
More than a foot of snow is possible from the Texas panhandle, across the Oklahomaoma handle and into Kansas and possibly Missouri as the storm moves eastward from the southwestern United States.
He also said streets won't be treated with the city's limited sand and salt supplies until the snow ends and plowing is under way.
While snowfall is expected to taper off by Monday afternoon, wind gusts of up to 35 mph will remain a hazard, said Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service's Amarillo, Texas, office.
The threat of the pending storm forced cancellations Sunday and
Monday in Kansas and Missouri, including the championship basketball tournament for the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Association, which rescheduled the tournament for Tuesday in Park City, Kan.
Pajor told The Wichita Eagle the new storm "looks worse than the last one" and that sand and salt supplies are low because of last week's record storm, as are the number of locations where snow can be transported off city streets. He said the plowing strategy for the new blizzard may have to involve plowing snow into the center of arterial streets, and cutting traffic to one lane each direction.
Matt Lehenbauer, emergency management director for Woodward County, Okla., said he expects rain or snow to begin there Sunday evening and forecasts up to a foot of snow and wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour.
"We're expecting white-out conditions," he said.
Lebenbauer said there is plenty of salt and sand on hand to help clear roads, but the conditions may cause delays.
"We may not get the roads cleared until midday Tuesday if we get the expected amount of snow and wind. As its falling, in the blizzard-like conditions, we just won't be able to keep up." Lehbnauer said.
This Friday, environmentalists can come together at Swampfest III, an event to raise awareness about and work toward preserving the Wakarusa Wetlands from The Lawrence Trafficway project. The event, co-organized by Enviros and EcJustice, includes a silent art auction and rock concert.
The soundscape will simply document the environmental and ecological impact of the trafficway project by making an audio recording of the area before and after construction. A start date for construction has not been set.
Students organize event to protest trafficway
Sarah Kraus, a junior from Allen, Texas, double-majoring in environmental science and Chinese, is president of Enviros and vice president of Ecolustice. Kraus thinks the soundscape is a project that will make something good come out
Benefits from Friday's Swampest will help fund a soundscape headed by the Wetlands Protection Organization at Haskell Indian Nations University, which has been protesting constructing in the wetlands for the past 20 years.
ENVIRONMENT
The South Lawrence Trafficway is a six-mile, four lane highway connecting K-10 and Highway 59. The Kansas Department of Transportation believes the $3.7 billion project would benefit travelers and Lawrence businesses. However, the proposal cuts directly through the Wakarusa Wetlands, held sacred by the Haskell community.
“it's a very objective project that we feel will help benefit our relationship and the wetlands,” Kraus said.

Looking back I don't think the 2-point attendance extra credit was worth braving the cold.
Did girls even wear pants or shoes before leggings and riding boots?
I just tried to hold the door open for my own reflection. Chivalry is confused.
Notorious B.I.G. - "Mo Money Mo Problems." Engineering Students - "More Problems, More Money."
To whoever insinuated that music majors never get any homework. You're wrong. Music majors always have homework. It's called practicing.
Yeah I took the elevator up two flights of stairs. I'm hungover. That's a handicap.
The wand chooses the wizard.
If there was an award for most dope newspaper staff the Kansan would have it in the bag.
My friend says the FFA is a "freshman thing." I say he's just bitter he never gets in, and now the whole campus knows.
I know class is canceled tomorrow,
but I still need my UDK... Editor's note:
Snow does not stop the Kansan. We
print no matter what.
Thanks to all the maintenance workers for coming in and shoveling campus today!
If engineering is so hard, how do you always have time to submit things to FFA?
Excuse me? Captain America shield all the way.

You know you are an old lady when you spend every Friday night watching "Dateline NBC."

Brownback's reign ignoring youth needs
Let's not mince words: aside from our cultural loasis, most of Kansas is a pretty boring place. Any time I find myself having to journey outside of Lawrence to the west, south or north, I grimace a little.
The rest of the state, we like to think, is of little consequence to us here. The politics are no different: tedious, unchanging, oftentimes caught in the past or actively trying to return to it. But something has been brewing in Topeka over the past couple years that deserves the attention of our youth and student population, whether you plan to spend your life in the Sunflower State or will be on a plane out of here the second they hand you that diploma.
I'm talking about the increasingly unsettling policies of Gov. Sam Brownback and the state legislature: a body that has never
By Eric Schumacher eschumacher@kansan.com
ueen what one would call progressive, but in the past year has tilted even further toward Tea Party-esque fundamentalism.
Brownback's tax plan proposals, if enacted, could increase the financial burden on young people by hundreds of dollars a year. For one, his proposal to extend a sales-tax hike that was supposed to be temporary will keep prices high for just about everything, depriving all Kansans, especially those without much money to spare, some sorely needed relief.
Then there are last year's tax cuts, which have been found by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy to actually raise taxes on those making less than $25,000 per year, which includes the vast majority of students.
Some Republican legislators are nervous about his budget proposals. The governor has also admitted recently that a $2 billion budget shortfall that he has repeatedly claimed his predecessor left for him never existed. Not exactly a promising sign for his office's budgeting capabilities.
While all this budget talk might induce groans of boredom (admittedly from myself at times), what happens in Topeka has real consequences here at the University. Everything from construction projects for outdated buildings to class sizes and the cost of tuition is hugely affected by the fiscal processes in the capital, and the decisions coming from the governor and legislature lately haven't been promising.
But taxes and the budget aren't the only things that should grab our attention. Last year, the governor signed a bill that throws up several impediments to women seeking to terminate unwanted pregnancies. In the pages of the bill is one provision that requires women be told abortion increases the risk of breast cancer, which has been roundly demonstrated to be false and is hard to imagine as anything more than a scare tactic. Another provision allows pharmacists to make a woman's health care choices for her by refusing to fill a prescription that "may result in the termination of a pregnancy" — loose language that seriously imperils access to birth control and reflects confusion about its functions.
As controversial topics as birth control and abortion tend to be, here in Kansas the debate has shut out the voices that are most adversely affected by the sort of laws that Brownback has made
the trademark of his governorship. Far too many of us bury our heads in the metaphernal sand, either repulsed by politics or simply bored with it. It's no wonder that young people are leaving our state and small towns in droves. Aside from a lack of diversity and opportunity, it is becoming increasingly apparent that young people simply are not a top priority for the current administration.
But we will only have an influence to the extent that we are willing to make our voices heard. The first step is to wake up and take notice.

It’s tough to find trendy clothes at bargain prices
Soon the weather will get warmer, and it's time for me to shed my thick winter coat and slip into something more seasonally appropriate. Specifically, this nice linen sport coat by Boglioli. Made of a luxurious blue plaid fabric, this beauty is already a steal at only $1,195, but I'll bet you my old winter sheddings I can find one for cheaper. All I'll need to do is hit up the discount stores, right?
TARGET
I walked into Target, armed only with my keen deal-finding instincts and a copy of "Esquire" magazine that featured the coat prominently, which I tucked under my jacket to protect it from the lightly falling rain. Standing around in the menswear section, I was puzzled by the fact that there were only two blazers in sight; one black, one navy, both made of cheap cotton. What the hell? I thought this was supposed to be a classy establishment!
Thinking on my feet, I got the attention of a young employee, dressed in a baggy red sweatshirt and baggier khakis. "Excuse me, sir, could you help me find this jacket?" I said as I whipped out the magazine.
"Does it say it's available at Target?" the youth answered. He looked confused as he studied the page.
"Well, I guess it was stupid of me to assume you carry the exact brand," I said. "But would you happen to have anything similar? I'm looking for something in a similar color and at about the same price point."
When I informed him of the price, the employee started to chuckle nervously. "I don't know if you'll find it here, man," he said. "We only carry your normal, average stuff here."
"What's average to you may not be average to me," I replied. Fed up, I rolled up the magazine and

bid him adieu.
WAL-MART
Intent on avoiding frustration this time, I decided to cut to the chase and hunt down a stocking clerk right away. I found a middle-aged woman with wiry tan hair hanging clothes on a rack, and I showed her my magazine. "It's Boglioli, if that helps," I said. "Surely you carry that brand."
"I'm sorry, we don't have that brand, and you won't find anything like that here."
Confused, I asked her to clarify:
"Not in the whole store. ma'am?"
"That looks like a dress coat," she said, spitting on the precious magazine a bit as she pronounced the last two words. "We don't carry dress coats here. This is a Wal-Mart. Try looking at J.C. Penny or Kohl's."
I could immediately tell that this woman wasn't terribly good at her job. While I don't know much about sales, I do know that if you're telling people to get out of your store and go look somewhere else, you're doing it wrong. Not wanting to waste any more time here, I put the "Esquire" back in my jacket and headed for the door.
T.J. MAXX
Scanning the store, I found the menswear section almost empty. I was forced to cross through the women's wear and ask a woman behind the jewellery counter. I laid the magazine on the counter and pointed at the coat.
"Let me see" she said, and dialed a number on her phone. After talking for a few seconds, she
turned back to me and, frowning,
said, "I'm sorry, we don't have any
linen coats right now, but we're set
to get some in next week. They're
Ralph Lauren, if that helps."
"I don't want Ralph Lauren, though," I said. "I want this one. The Boglioli. I've heard nothing but good things about it." After thinking for a second, I decided to rephrase my request: "Look, you know the little tags you put on your merchandise that say, like, $19.99. compare at $25?"
"Yeah, I guess," she replied, not seeming to follow.
"Well, do you have a section of clothes with tags that say, for example, '$900, compare at $1,200?' A 'high-roller section' I guess."
She picked up the phone and asked her manager, "Do we have a section of just upscale, high-priced men's clothing?" After listening for a few seconds, she turned back to me and shook her head. "Sorry about that."
GOODWILL
My shopping motto is "you can't spell 'menswear' without 'swear,'" and I was sure swearing as I drove to the Goodwill. But it was there, in the middle of a long rack of jackets, that I finally found my prize. Sure, I couldn't tell if it was Bogliolio, because the previous owner had ripped off the tags, and it smelled like a mothball-and-cat-litter casserole, but it felt sort of like linen (it was a cloth of some sort, I'm sure of that) and it had excellent shoulder pads as a bonus. ! only paid 20 bucks and the clerk ever threw in some polite pointing and hyena-like laughter on the way out!

Technology helps improve sports
If my point hasn't come across yet, I want to remind all of you how much of an impact technology has made on sports. Today, most of it comes across as little things we take for granted, like instant replay. When I think about it, I have never watched a sporting event where a referee hasn't been able to look into a little box and look back in time to see if he or she made the right call. That's amazing.
"Dear Scientists, on behalf of all sports fans, thank you for all of the cool things you've invented that make sports awesome. You people are great. Sincerely, Andrew."
Luckily, these things do exist,
thanks to technology and scientists.
In fact, I will thank them:
Football helmets. Instant replay. That magic yellow 10-yard line. Dunk cams. Games shown on TV. Radio broadcasts. The giant HD screen in the middle of Allen Fieldhouse. Madden. Tennis shoes. Titanium golf clubs. Racing cars. FIFA. NBA2K13. All of ESPN. Now, what if none of these things existed? Would most sports as we know them even exist either?
Even something as simple as watching a basketball game on TV has only been possible for 50 years out of all 10,000 years of human history. When we watched the Jayhaws play West Virginia (I'm skipping those losses and pretending they didn't happen), a camera in Morgantown took millions of HD pictures, turning them into electrical pulses, which were then turned into radiation, which was shot into space and bounced back to your TV, where they were turned into millions of pictures again.
I'm going as far as saying fandom wouldn't exist without modern technology. I'm sure places like Allen Fieldhouse would still be sold for every game, but would a giant network of KU fans all around the world tune in to their watch Jayhawks play? Absolutely not. The most

All of the new safety ads the NFL shows are more than gimmicks. The organization is working with researchers to take lifesaving equipment from bicycle helmets and even earthquake resistant buildings, and bring them into the game technology. The faster this change happens, the better for football players everywhere, especially children getting into the game. Any improvement for children, whose brains are still developing, is great.
Even after actual football helmets were invented, the protection was limited at best. According to the New York Times, of the 34 former NFL players that have donated their brains to science, 33 were shown to have degenerative brain diseases caused by impacts between players. Because of these diseases, some of the game's greatest players have committed suicide or dropped to a near vegetative state.
CITY OF NEW YORK
On a more serious note, I'd like to point out the impact of improvements in sports gear, like football helmets. Before there were helmets, players used leather caps. I would be frightened to see the results of brain damage research done on players from that era.
exciting thing people not at the game would get to see would be large block letters in their newspaper.
Okay, I've rambled on for too long. But take some time and think about it. Technology makes almost everything better, even if you barely notice it.

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!
A decade lost in trash classic 'The Room'
"The Room" tells the story of Johnny (Wiseau), the world's most trusting banker, and his delusional love affair with Lisa (Juliette Danielle), a kumquat-shaped sociopath bent on seducing Johnny's dim-witted best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). There's also an unresolved subplot, one of many in fact, concerning Johnny's oddball neighbor Denny (Phillip Haldiman), who's
It's been 10 years,but "The Room" is still tearing us apart.
Later, after roughly 30 minutes of nightmarish continuity lapses, wooden line readings, anatomically impossible soft-core sex acts and a scene where every character plays football while inexplicably wearing a tuxedo, the majority of the audience filed out of the theater, demanding their money back after witnessing only a portion of the movie even its fans will tell you ranks among the worst ever made. Thus began the legend of Tommy Wiseau, the indefinitely accented auteur many have dubbed the heir apparent to director Ed Wood, the crown prince of cinematic crapola who gave us cult favorites like "Glen or Glenda!" and the immortal "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
Back in 2003, an obscure filmmaker named Tommy Wiseau held a gala premiere at a theater in Los Angeles. Several studio executives and major film critics were in attendance, and rumors had begun to swirl that writer-director-star Wiseau's self-financed debut, billed as a relationship drama "with the passion of Tennessee Williams," was being vetted for serious Oscar consideration.
SUDOKU
Despite his spaced-out demeanor, Johnny is a ridiculously friendly guy. Every character who shuffles onscreen is treated to the awkward salutation of, "Oh hi!" from our hero, often followed by a noticeably uncomfortable bear hug. Wiseau's performance gives the film its weirdly compelling energy, combining the droopy, Cro-Magnon physicality of a Euro-trash Marlon Brando with the winky inflection of a bad Christopher Walken impersonator. The only thing stranger than Johnny is the decor in his apartment, especially all those framed pictures of spoons that hang so enigmatically from his walls.
Critically drubbed and unable to secure a distributor in 2003, "The Room" could have easily fallen into direct-to-video obscurity. But Wiseau, whose business acumen clearly outweighs his talent as a filmmaker, decided to repackage his anti-masterpiece as an eccentric dark comedy and embarked on a nationwide tour to promote the film, setting up screenings and Q-and-A

sessions with his rapidly expanding fan base. The trick worked like a charm, and now, nearly a decade after its bewildering debut, "The Room" is one of the only movies to rival "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on the midnight circuit.
I had the pleasure of attending a monthly screening of "The Room" two weeks ago at the Screenland Crossroads in downtown Kansas City. My audience was full of diehard Roomies, many of them dressed as their favorite characters (mostly Johnny). A few of them brought along their own footballs, as well as a mighty arsenal of plastic spoons, which they hurled at the screen during their favorite moments, especially the scene where Johnny, caught in a fit of impotent rage, finally lets loose with the iconic line, "You're tearing me apart, Lisal!"
I understand why some people may balk at the idea of anything being so bad it's good, but "The Room" is the most joyfully inep cinematic experience imaginable, one that benefits immeasurably from being watched with a crowd of fellow true believers. Wiseau may not be the genius he thinks he is, but he's still responsible for unleashing a full-fledged trash classic, one that will be loved, treasured and quoted incessantly for years to come. Now if only I could convince the good folks at Crossroads to run it with "Troll 2" and "Manos: The Hands of Fate" for the ultimate triple feature. Best worst idea ever.

Senior forward Carolyn Davis and senior guard Angel Goodrich defend against Texas Tech's dribble-drive offense on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The scene at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday felt familiar, as the Kansas women fell into a deep 15-point hole in the first half, and fought their way out of it in the second.
The Jayhawks tied the game with 18 seconds left as senior guard Angel Goodrich converted a 3-point possession on the foul. It was the second time at home and third time this season that the Jayhawks have made a comeback of at least 15 points in the second half. However, the other two games ended in Kansas wins. Despite their comeback, the Jayhawks fell to the Red Raiders 72-70.
"When we get down 10 points, 15 points, we don't think, well, the game is over," senior guard Monica Engelman said. "We look at it as, we've been in this situation and we can get out of it."
Kansas nearly did get out of it. But Texas Tech's final possession of the game ended exactly the way Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson wanted to avoid, a one-legged layup, though that what defined
For a team with such high expectations coming into this season, this is a frustrating place to be.
"All the games at the end are important for us right now," Goodrich said. "We put ourselves in a spot where we don't want to be."
sant it's a problem that needs to be fixed before it happens again. The recent losses to Texas and Texas Tech have put serious doubt into Kansas' tournament hopes.
The Jayhawks have three games left for the season. The next two come against Oklahoma and Iowa state, both of which are ranked teams. The final game of the season is senior night against TCU.
For most of the first half the Jayhawks were a team without energy.
That spot is seventh in the Big 12 standings, and possibly on the outside looking in at the NCAA tournament.
the game for Henrickson.
"When you start making turnovers and mistakes, it's easy for a team to lose their energy," Engelman said. "But, I think what got us back into the game was we realized what was going on and what we were doing."
The situation that the team has put itself in is frustrating for Goodrich, who scored 18 second half points in the attempted comeback victory.
"I don't know how many games we've had to come back from 15 points or more," Goodrich said. "And that's on us. We come out flat. We don't come out the way we need to."
"It wasn't the final possession," Henrickson said, "It's who we were in the first half"
The sluggish starts have become common for Kansas. In many of its Big 12 games this season, Kansas has raised its energy level only after falling behind in the first half.
Goodrich could not explain the lack of energy at the start, but

Snow causes impromptu weekend series in Arkansas
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
As this weekend's snowstorm hit Lawrence, Kansas baseball cancelled a home series with Northwestern and hit the road, braving the elements, for an impromptu snow tour through Arkansas.
After beating SIU-Edwardsville 8-0 in Little Rock, Ark., Friday, the Jayhawks made their way to Conway, Ark., where they faced the Central Arkansas Bears and the Jackson State Tigers in a Saturday double-header.
"He was very good out there," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "That's the best performance we've had someone throw against us this season, and unfortunately our left-hander wasn't as good as he was today."
The Jayhawks fell to Central Arkansas 9-3 on the Bears' homefield. UCA junior Jeffrey Enloe pitched a complete game, posting 10 strikeouts to match the solid performance of the Bear lineup.
Kansas pitchers struggled to find the strike zone throughout the day with the cold conditions.
"It was really cold down here for both games," Price said. "Our guys had a hard time with the dampness. They were blowing on their hands trying to keep their hands warm,
In game one, the Jayhawks jumped to a two-run lead in the top of the first inning, but couldn't hang on for long. UCA scored seven runs in the next two innings, handing Kansas starter Wes Benjamin an early exit. Kansas added a third run in the fourth but couldn't keep the Bears off the scoreboard.
The Jayhawks won 10-6 on the shoulders of senior first baseman and catcher Alex DeLeon's 3-for-3 performance at the plate. DeLeon posted three runs, two walks, an RBI and a stolen base to lead Kansas offensive.
After five scoreless innings to finish the game, the Jayhawks took the 9-3 loss.
but it was a tough day to pitch."
"That first game was a tough loss," DeLeon said. "We had to just flush it and play the next team. Luckily, the back end of our bullpen was the difference. They just shut down their队."
Game two against Jackson State was a different story.
Kansas started quickly in game two as well, posting five runs in the
"I just felt a little more relaxed and comfortable at the plate today," DeLeon said.
The hayawks turned their play and mindset around quickly with an hour period between the two games.
top of the first inning. The Jayhawks held a 6-1 lead until the bottom of the fifth when Jackson State fought back to tie.
The Kansas bullpen took over from there. Junior middle reliever Jordan Piche' entered the game late in the fourth, pitching with three strikeouts and no earned runs.
Sophomore reliever Robert Kahana took over from there pitching 2 1/3 innings with three strikeouts, earning him his first win of the 2013 season.
The Jayhawks posted two runs in the seventh and one run in both the eighth and ninth innings to complete the day and split the doubleheader.
"It was a great team win," DeLeon said. "We really needed the series down here. I'm just glad we got the chance to come down and play. Obviously we can't afford to take a weekend off for weather."
Tuesday's game against Missouri State was rescheduled due to weather. Now Kansas is scheduled to face Iowa in their next home game on March 1 at 3 p.m.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCI
The Jayhawks enter their road showdown with Iowa State red hot, having won their past four games by an average of 18.4 points per game. Withey and Young have fueled Kansas' renaissance with their energy and ability to finish at the rim. However, Kansas needs a total team effort against Iowa State and its Hilton Magic. The good news is coach Bill Self has had more success at Iowa State than almost anybody. He is 7-2 at Iowa State as Kansas' coach.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ben McLemore, Guard
lowa State fans surely remember what happened the last time Kansas and Iowa State met, when McLemore drilled a 3-pointer with one second left to push the
McLemore
game into overtime in an eventual Kansas victory. He didn't travel with Kansas to Hilton Coliseum last year, so this is his first chance to see the Iowa State crowd in person. He'll be the focal point of their venom and will need to get into the game's offensive rhythm early.
How will Kansas handle the Hilton crowd?
QUESTION MARK
Kansas has three tough road matches in the final stretch of Big 12 play. The Jayhaws passed the first road test last Wednesday at Oklahoma State, where they escaped with a double overtime victory. This road test against the Cyclones will probably be even tougher and more hostile than that. A loss certainly wouldn't be disastrous to the Jayhawks' conference title hopes, but it could drop them out of first place for the time being. This is a game where senior leadership will be critical.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
nansas plays tight perimeter defense. Iowa State is the Big 12's best 3-point shooting team, both in terms of percentage (37 percent) and 3-pointers per game (9.63, tops in the nation). No other Big 12 team makes more than 7.15 3-pointers per game. In the first matchup at Allen Fieldhouse, the Cyclones converted 14-38 shots beyond the arc.
NUMBERS
24 The Jayhawks now have 23 wins for the 24th consecutive season.
11- The number of players who scored in double figures when Kansas and Iowa State played at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season.
16-3 - Bill Self's record against Iowa State as Kansas' head coach.

A. JOHNSON
The senior battled a minor stomach issue in the days leading up to the TCU game, and coach Bill Self said that affected Johnson's play against the Horned Frogs. Still, he has been more effective recently than he has been for the majority of the season. He's scored in double figures in three of the Jayhawks' past five games and has eight assists and only four turnovers in the past three games. His shot selection has improved, too.
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
M. HALIFAX
★★★☆☆
Releford has scored in double figures in every game of Kansas' four-game winning streak, including 18 points at Oklahoma State last Wednesday. Besides the first three games of the season, when he missed all 11 of his 3-point attempts, Releford is shooting 53 percent from beyond the arc this season. Better yet, he's shooting 61 percent on all field goal attempts.
The freshman sensation wowed the crowd again Saturday with his tomahawk slam against TCU. Kansas needs another big game from McLemore against Iowa State. He didn't travel with the team last year to Ames, and Hison is generally regarded as the second-toughest atmosphere in the Big 12 after Allen Fieldhouse. How McLemore handles the pressure will go a long way to determining if Kansas wins.

KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD
Kansas' Energizer Bunny dashed out of the gate against TCU, hoarding three offensive and three defensive rebounds before the game was seven minutes old. Young had two of the four Kansas dunks in that same time span and assisted on one other. He's shooting 20-37 from the field in the Jayhawks' five games and is seventh in the Big 12 in offensive rebounding
★★★★☆
The senior has scored in double figures in 17 of the Jayhawks' past 19 games and has reestablished that he needs to be a key part of Kansas' offense if it wants to be successful. He's averaged 10 shots per game in the Jayhawks' past four games. His ability to get positioned on the block and look for his shot low low has paired nicely with Kevin Young's ability to get offensive boards and score on second-chance possessions and broken plays.

STARTERS
KORIE LUCIOUS, POINT GUARD
Michigan State lost a good one when Lucious transferred to Iowa State. Since the switch, Lucious is averaging more minutes, more points and more assists. He's become a focal point of Fred Hoiberg's offense but has struggled to consistently put up points as of late. Lucious reached double digits scoring in five of his first six conference games, but has reached that plateau twice in the last seven contests.

CHRIS BABB, GUARD
Where Lucius' stats have scaled back Babb's have increased. He's averaging 10.8 points over his last six games with at least one steal. Over that span he's just less than 40 percent once, during a lackluster four point effort at Baylor.

UCLA
WILL CLYBURN, GUARD
Another transfer player, Clyburn has become a great addition to Hoiberg's Cyclones. After averaging 17 points at Utah, Clyburn has been able to do nearly the same in Ames with 15 points per game against tougher competition in the Big 12.
Clyburn
WILLIAMS
★★★☆☆
MELVIN EJIM, FORWARD
There's a trend with this Iowa State team that is hard to miss. Every player can score in large quantities. This season Ejim is averaging 11.1 points, but what makes him more dangerous is his ability to crash the boards. The 6-foot 6-inch junior has nabbed 56 rebounds in his last six outings.
★★★☆☆
WILLA CRYD
Ejim
GEORGE NIANG, FORWARD
Not many teams can spread the floor like the Cyclones and that is in large part due to the shooting ability of Niang. The bulky freshman is shooting 37 percent from three, yet he's had problems staying out of foul trouble. Niang fouled out in his last game against Kansas State and has registered four fouls in three of his last four games prior to playing the Wildcats.

ATA GLANCE
Just as Kansas was seeking revenge against TCU on Saturday, Iowa State will be looking to avenge an early season loss to the Jayhawks. The Cyclones were on their way to upsetting the sixth ranked Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse before a Ben McLemore bank-shot three rattled in at the buzzer and sent Kansas on its way to an overtime victory. The Jayhawks have a history of trouble in Ames, Iowa. Monday night figures to be more of the same.
George Niang, Forward
HILLS CITY
Niang
Last time around, Niang scored 13 points against Kansas and was able to pull Withey away from the basket, rendering him mostly ineffective
on defense. If Niang is able to do the same on Monday night Kansas may need to think about putting someone else on the freshman.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Cyclones continue to pull the Jayhawk defense away from the paint?
Last time against Kansas, ISU threw the Jayhawks out of rhythm on defense by playing away from the lane. If Iowa State is able to take away the shot-altering ability of Kansas' front court, it will make for another game where the Jayhawks will have to outshoot their opponent.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Iowa State is able to shoot the way it did when the team came to Lawrence back in January. The Cyclones knocked down 41 percent of its looks and forced Kansas to play from behind late in the game. In a hostile environment there's no guarentee Kansas could afford to attempt the same comeback.
NUMBERS
79. 5 - Iowa State's points per game average. Tops in the Big 12.
39. 6 - Iowa State also averages the most boards per game in the Big 12 at nearly 40.
19 - Iowa State has defeated Kansas 19 times at Hilton Coliseum.

THE MORNING BREW NASCAR needs to improve safety regulations
Most of us have been in car accidents before. They can be scary and affect you afterwards. A year and half ago, I was in a car accident where my car was totaled, and I was shaken up for at least a couple weeks afterward. NASCAR starts out the season at the infamous Daytona Speedway every year.
During the Nationwide Series on Saturday, 12 cars were involved in a crash that ended with one car flying into the fence, showering debris over 28 fans in the stands. Seven of those fans were hospitalized; two were in critical condition. Luckly, they were stabilized later in the night. One fan took care of his brother who suffered a severe laceration from his hip to the knee on the left leg. His brother was sent to the hospital, but he told ESPN
By Michael Portman
mportman@kansan.com
that it was "like a war zone." Just imagining the scene is horrifying.
After the race ended, NASCAR announced that everything would be repaired and the race on Sunday would continue at its normal time, causing some controversy. Some people thought Sunday's race should have been delayed,
saying the repairs wouldn't be finished or more safety precautions should be put in place.
The most concerning issue was the fact that debris went beyond the fence. The only possible counter argument that could work in this situation is the car itself was stopped by the fence, and didn't fly into the crowd. NASCAR definitely should look into this situation and see how they can help make it safer for fans to attend these races. A possibility might be to move the fans farther away from the track.
Another idea is to build the fence higher and have the top bend over so it would stop debris from flying over. This issue is of much concern, and hopefully NASCAR will realize this.
KU
When driving, there is so much that
could happen to you. You have to be aware of all of your surroundings and focus on the road ahead. Safety should be key in everyone's lives — let's make sure it is when in attendance at a sporting event as well. NASCAR must wake up and realize something must be done to benefit the fan's experience.

— TCU coach Trent Johnson,
sarcastically on Kansas' performance
The Jayhawks hit 18 of their 19 throw attempts. Only Andrew White III missed a shot.

The lowest point total by a KU opponent after a half since Cornell's second half against the Jahyhaws in 1996.
KEY STATS
Gamas scored its 13th point in the 5:37 into the first half after only putting up 13 in the first half at TCU.
Kansas coach Bill Self laughs as his team makes a silly foul during the final minutes of the game against Texas Christian University on Saturday. The Jayhawks held the Horned Frogs to nine points in the first half, the fewest scored by a team in the Big 12 in 15 years.

TCU toppled in historic victory
GEOFFREY CALVERT
They didn't go more than seven minutes before scoring their first point like they did the first time they played TCU.
gcalvert@kansan.com
There was no repeat performance for the Kansas Jayhawks this time. No logic-defying scoring droughts or clueless offensive possessions.
And after senior guard Travis Releford scored that layup, the game might as well have been over.
They went nine seconds.
None of TCU's starters scored in the first half. The Horned Frogs shot 4-23, committed 10 turnovers and recorded only one assist.
That wasn't the case this time. TCU scored the fewest points in a single half a Big 12 team has allowed in a half in 15 years. It's also the fewest points Kansas has allowed in a half since holding Cornell to nine points in the second half on Jan. 2, 1996.
"Tonight we played as a team," freshman guard Ben McLemore said. "Down there we just seemed like we were just moving fast and we didn't have that pace, that Kansas pace that we usually play. We just had that momentum today."
"That's as focused and best we've been as far as both ends with consistency in a long time," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "That was the best we've executed and moved the ball and also the most active we've been defensively."
The Horned Frogs took their turn to struggle offensively, not getting on the scoreboard for the first 5.07 of the game. And they closed the first half poorly, too, going the final 8.37 without a point. Kansas took a 38-9 lead into the locker room en route to a 74-48 victory.
The Jayhawks had four dunks in the first six minutes of the game, while freshman forward Perry Ellis drained a long jumper at the top of the key on his way to 12 points off the bench. Senior forward Kevin Young had six rebounds in the first seven minutes, three of which were offensive rebounds that led to points.
When Kansas traveled to Fort Worth on Feb. 6, the Jayhawks scored a measly 13 points in the first half. But the Horned Frogs managed only 22 points in the first half, so Kansas had the opportunity to claw back into the game and keep TCU on its heels for most of the second half.
5:37
"If you look around, you see guys interacting with not just the guys of their generation," former Kansas guard Bud Stallworth said. "I know guys from the 50s up to the 2000s."
It was the kind of performance the Kansas program is known for. It's fitting that the Jayhawks used this game to celebrate their 115th year of basketball. Nearly 200 players from eras dating back to Phog Allen's time as Kansas' coach came back to Lawrence for the weekend.
And Kansas' offense made sure that nothing TCU did in the second half would let it back in the game.
"Every game we want to score easy buckets inside and get that going because that leads to easy shots on the perimeter," senior center Jeff Withey said. "Our guards helped us out, and we knew that they weren't going to really run in transition too much unless they had numbers, like three on one. We knew that we could crash the boards and we had everybody going in and trying to rebound."
9
Edited by Brian Sisk
The half went so poorly for TCU that after a timeout in the first half, the Horned Frogs committed a 5-second violation on the inbound pass.
"After the game, coach Toundsend told me that was one of the best dunks I had this year." McLemore said.
Air McLemore took off from Allen Fieldhouse late in the first half, driving the baseline and degrading the rim with a vicious one-handed tomahawk slam.
And then there was McLemore.

COMMENTARY
The beginnings of Kansas basketball
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
Nothing much has changed. That's at least what Fred Bosilevac, a retired ophthalmologist who played for the Kansas basketball team between 1936-38, said.
He's now 96 years old and lives in Kansas City, Kan., but Bosilevac still remembers his days as a Jayawk fondly, especially the endless winter nights of 1937 when he trained for legendary coach Phog Allen.
Doc Allen was a Midwest treasure who stressed the fundamentals of a game in its adolescence and Bosilevac was one of his first pupils.
"There's never going to be another coach like Phog," Boslevac said on Saturday during the 115-year celebration. "Everything was fundamentals. I remember during the Christmas time wed practice fundamentally morning, afternoon, evening during Christmas in 1937."
Kansas coach Bill Self stresses the fundamentals with his team almost 80 years later, but the game has changed quite a bit.
Free throws are no longer shot underhand and the basketball facility is not housed in Hoch Auditorium. It's now played in one of the best basketball cathedrals in the country, complete with championship banners, wooden benches and a museum that would rival any gracing the National Mall.

Allen Fieldhouse is a special place to watch basketball and it's even more special on a day like Saturday when so many of the people who have made that history possible come back.
More than anything, it gives people at Kansas time to reflect. In this age of instant analysis and gratification it's nice to take a few moments to be nostalgic.
"What an incredible job." Owens said of Self. "People don't appreciate, I think they do, but they don't how difficult it is to win or share a conference championship. I believe they'll do it again this year, but I think they have some work to do."
For instance, the 1988 National Championship team was recognized on its 25th anniversary.
Former Kansas coach Ted Owens probably put it best though. The fans might think about these teams all the time, but coaches, not so much.
After a long weekend of nostalgia, the Jayhawks move onto another place where they have a lot of history. If Saturday was any indication, look for some more magic made in Ames, Iowa tonight.
However, Kansas fans don't enjoy these wins the same way they did back in the day. For the most part, they've been spoiled by having three great coaches in a row and sometimes a small portion of the fan base show how crazed they are when it appears a team is in a time of crisis.
He produced two of the winningest coaches of all time, Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith, and spawned two great rivals that Kansas fans still enjoy to this day.
You cannot escape the influence Dr Allen had on this program. His name is on the building and he's got statue outside the building for God's sake.
"I'm sounding a little bit like Dr. Allen when I say just wait 25 years, I'll tell you who the greatest is; that's what I love about here." Owens said. "These people at Kansas, great engineers, great in the field of education, energy whatever, that's what I'm most proud of"

Kansas women win conference championship for first time in school history
I COLIN WRIGHT
cwright@kansan.com
For the first time in school history, the Kansas women's track and field team won the Big 12 Indoor Championship, dominating its conference foes on the track and in the field.
Neither the Kansas men's nor women's track team had won a conference title since the men won the Big Eight Indoor Championship in 1983. When Texas A&M University, which had won five of the last six women's Indoor Big 12 Championships, bolted for the Southeastern Conference, it opened the door for a new team to take the title. That team was the Kansas Jayhawks.
When the women's 4x400-meter team crossed the finish line to place fourth with a time of 3 minutes, 37.73 seconds, the jayhawks knew it would be enough to keep their first place lead. It took a team effort to edge out the University of Texas, scoring 150.5 points compared to 148 for the second-place Longhorns.
The championship meet in Ames, Iowa, home of the Iowa State University Cyclones, was scheduled for Friday and Saturday, but because of the winter storm that swept through the Midwest, it was pushed back to Saturday and Sunday. That didn't matter to Kansas, though. Currently ranked fifth in the nation — the best among Big 12 schools — the women's team showed why it deserved such high praise this weekend.
On Saturday, sophomore Lindsay Vollmer won the pentathlon, scoring 4,123 points in the five events. Senior Francine Simpson took first in the long
jump, breaking the Big 12 meet record with a jump of 6.59 meters (21-7 1/2), followed closely by senior Andrea Gebuleb, who jumped 6.51 meters (21-4 1/4) for second place. Senior Alena Krechyk won the weight throw with a throw of 21.38 meters (70-1 3/4), less than one foot shy of the Big 12 record.
On the final day of action, Kansas started the day in first place and never let go. Guebelle, who continued her dominance in the triple jump, led the Jayhawks. Her jump of 13.49 meters (44-3 1/4) won first place by more than three feet. In the 60 meter dash, freshman Tianna Valentine came in second place with a time of 7.39 seconds, followed by senior Paris Daniels, who came in fourth place, a hundredth of a second behind Valentine.
Daniels was even more impressive in the 200 meters, winning with a time of 23.29 seconds, and picking up 10 key points late Sunday to help the Jayhawks, who saw their lead dwindle as Texas and Iowa State rallied but ultimately came up short.
The big winner on Sunday was none other than the Olympic Gold Medal winner, junior Diamond Dixon. After starting off the indoor season with slower times than last season, Dixon proved that she is still the best in the conference, winning the 400 meters for the second straight season with a time of 52.52 seconds. It was also Dixon who ran the anchor in the 4x400 meters relay at the end of the day on Sunday with a conference title on the line. Although the women were unable to repeat as champions in the 4x400, the fourth place finish was good enough to edge out
Texas in team points and give the Kansas women their first conference championship ever.
The Kansas women have time for more achievements this season, including at the NCAA Indoor Championships March 8 and 9 in Fayetteville, Ark. There is also an entire outdoor season, which includes another shot at a Big 12 Championship. But for one weekend in Ames, Iowa, the Jayhawk women took one of the biggest steps in Kansas track and field history as they held up the 2013 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championship trophy.
The Kansas men placed sixth at the Big 12 Indoor Championship,
Junior Iosh Munsch ran a personal best time of 4 minutes, 3.09 seconds in the mile run to earn third place. Senior Kyle Clemons finished third in the 400 meters with a time of 47.04 seconds.
earning 74.5 team points at the meet.
The men's team was off to a good start Friday when it dominated in the pole vault. Junior Alex Bishop won the event with a vault of 5.17 meters (16-11 1/2), edging out sophomore Casey Brown, who came in second place. Coming in a tie for third place was sophomore Regan Gilbert, who jumped the same height but with more faults.
In the 600 meters, the Jayhawks ran second and third with sophomores Michael Stigler and Kenneth McCuin, who ran 1 minute, 09.77 seconds and 1 minute, 09.88 seconds, respectively.
The men's 4x400 meter team of Stigler, Clemons, McCuin and sophomore Michael Hester missed on the league title by just 0.15 seconds, but claimed second place with a time of 3 minutes, 8.06 seconds.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Young eager for redemption against ISU
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Kevin Young has this recurring dream. The Jayhawks are in the middle of another tough contest, battling back and forth and trying to get a grip on the lead. As the clock winds down the fans all start cheering louder. They can sense the victory drawing closer.
Finally, the buzzer sounds and the fans pour onto the court like a tidal wave. Young is surrounded in the screaming madness as he tries to reach his teammates.
This is not the type of dream Young enjoys repeating. It's a nightmare, and one that he hopes won't come true Monday night at Iowa State.
Last year's 72-64 upset of then-
no. 5 Kansas in Ames, Iowa was
the first time Young had ever
experienced fans rushing the
court. Needless to say, he didn't
enjoy it as much as others have.
"The one game I want to play is Iowa State at Iowa State," Young said earlier in the year. "That loss still wakes me up at night."
With the conference race, and Bill Self's 500th career win, on the line, Young and the Jayhawks know they'll be walking into a hostile Hilton Coliseum. Perhaps it'll be more intimidating
because Iowa State is also out for revenge — and it's very possible the Cyclones emerge victorious.
When ISU visited Lawrence in January it took a furious comeback in the final minutes capped off by a Ben McLemore bankshot 3-pointer at the buzzer to propel the jayhawks to an overtime victory.
Withey did offer an inkling of optimism, saying after playing Iowa State once already that Kansas knows how to guard them. And he's not the only one who believes the Jayhawks will be more prepared.
"Everybody shoots threes," senior center Jeff Withey said. "It's really tough to play against them and it's a quick turnaround."
In large part, it's because no team in the Big 12 creates a mismatch for the Jayhawks quite like the Cyclones.
"The biggest thing to me is ball screen defense," Kansas coach Bill Self said of Monday's matchup. "How we guard their open ball screens and not put us in a situation where we have to close out from great distances."
Kansas' biggest flaw is created by Self's blueprint for his team. Because his teams are built to play inside and dominate the paint, the Jayhawks often have a
tough time against teams that can shoot from anywhere.
The Jayhawks were fortunate enough to receive a career-high 33 points from McLemore against the Cyclones. Yet focusing on defense will be the best chance Kansas has to come out of Ames with a victory.
Despite Kansas' dominance in the paint, Iowa State was able to avoid it by getting open looks away from it. Players like the Cyclones' forward Georges Niang were able to pull Withey away from the rim and create open looks in the lane.
The Cyclones launched 38 3-pointers, knocking down 14, and shot 41 percent from the field.
It was a loophole Iowa State exploited in Lawrence.

"Even when we're pressuring we don't pressure out as much as a lot of people do." Self said of the Jayhawks' defense. "We've got to do a much better job of that Monday."
Edited by Brian Sisk
If not, Young's nightmare may become a reality once again.
"They stormed the court on us," Young said. "We're going to do everything to make sure it doesn't happen again."

PUT YOUR SHOES ON
Johnson puts the ice on Iowa State, helping Self seal a landmark victory
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
AMES, Iowa — Eljah Johnson has taken a lot of flak his senior year.
He was cast out by many Jayhawk fans as a player who had lost the swagger seen last March and would not get it back the rest of his career as a Jayhawk.
Well into Kansas' 108-96 victory over Iowa State on Monday, he silenced all the critics by having the best scoring performance by a Kansas player since the team entered the Big 12 with 39 points, including 30 points in the last 25 minutes of the game.
"l blacked out," Johnson said. "That's the best way to speak about it."
So how did it feel for Johnson to take complete control of the game down the stretch?
That's what basketball players refer to as being the zone.
It's where somebody can attack the glass at will and make a layup or hit two clutch free throws to send a game into overtime. It's where every shot is going in, and the basket gets bigger and bigger.
More importantly, it means when a broken play happens with 54 seconds left in overtime that, by throwing the ball toward the basket as the shot clock buzzer sounded, it's probably going in.
It wasn't just Johnson, though; he had help from many of his seniors, especially Travis Releofrd, who kept the team together when the front court struggled through foul trouble.
"I looked down on the other end of the basket, and I begged for the ball. He threw it to me casually, and I just shot it in rhythm," Johnson said.
"He kept us in the game," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We didn't have a lot going, and Travis made two or three big plays and shots. He's a winner and competitor. Our seniors stepped up big."
Releford finished the game with 19 points, but it was his smooth stroke from long range that helped his team prevail. He finished five of nine from 3-point range.
The third senior to step up for the Jayhawks was senior Kevin Young, who, like on many recent occasions, gave the Jayhawks a spark out
of the gate. He led the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding for much of the first half.
The last senior with major contributions for the night was senior Jeff Withey, who was battered and bruised and eventually fouled out the game — but not before he collected another double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Despite the shootout this game turned into and all the great performance that made the Hilton Coliseum, one thing was clear: This was Elijah Johnson's game, and this is now Elijah Johnson's team to lead.
"He was unbelievable. He was the best player in the country tonight," Self said. "I've had some guys get 30 before, but never get 30 in a half."
The star of this show was senior Tyrus McGee, who seemed unable to miss for a long stretch of the second half. He ended the game with 22 points. Iowa States 'senior guard Korie Lucious was the team's leading scorer with 23 points.
The surprise of the night was freshman Ben McLemore, who struggled to find his rhythm in another crucial road game. Luckily, much of the senior class stepped up when the Jayhawks needed it down the stretch.
"I don't know if we defended that bad as if they made some tough shots," Self said. "Tyrus McGee, wow, what a game he had."
Lost in much of this game was the impeccable execution by the Iowa State Cyclones, who dropped a school-record 17 3-pointers on the Jayhawks.
As Self said, "He deserved a night like tonight."

Students strap on dancing shoes at SUA variety show
Despite the winter weather, Student Union Activities hosted the Performing Arts Variety Showcase last night.
HANNAH BARLING

SUA originally planned for student groups on campus to demonstrate their dances and then teach the audience some basic moves, but after a few groups dropped out last minute, it decided to change
up the night to a casual, "open mic night" feel.
Two groups showed up last night: KU Jeeva and KU Dancesport. KU Jeeva is a competitive South Asian fusion dance group. It incorporates different styles of dancing including Bhangra, classical, Bollywood and hip-hop. Bhangra originated in India and is a traditional dance. There are seven types of classical Indian dancing that used to be performed in temples. Bollywood dance comes from Indian cinemas.
Monica Roychowdhury, a junior from Overland Park, is one of nine members of leeva.
last night. They demonstrated Latin dances such as the samba, cha cha and rumba. They also did a West Coast Swing dance, a dance that comes from Lindy Hop and the Jitterbug.
Maggie Ma, a senior from Beijing, said that Dancesport likes to perform to let students know that dancing is fun and good for your health.
"We're always excited to perform for audiences like this because they usually aren't familiar with Indian dance." Roychowdhury said.
Alec Bowman, a masters student from Pocatello, Idaho, has bee
"Technique and partner connection are the most important."
KU Dancesport is a competitive ballroom dancing group. With 25 members, Dancesport incorporates standard ballroom with Latin dances. Four members performed

ballroom dancing for about five years. He said that their performance last night was different from what they normally do for competitions.
Bea Tretbar, a sophomore from Wichita and SUAs fine arts coordinator, said that because of the weather, they needed another draw-in for students, and that was how they came up with the open mic night plan. They decided to award first place with a cash prize as an incentive for more performers.
No one decided to perform last minute, and both dance teams ended up tying for first place, each winning $75.

Trial begins regarding BP oil spill
ABOUT. Make sure to apply today if you plan to graduate this spring.
NEW ORLEANS — With billions of dollars at stake, the trial to figure out how much more BP and other companies should pay for the nation's worst offshore oil spill began Monday with the federal government saying the oil giant was mostly to blame for a disaster caused by putting profits ahead of safety.
Justice Department attorney Mike Underhill said BP PLG, which leased the rig and owned the blown-out Macondo well, said the disaster resulted from the London-based company's "culture of corporate recklessness."
"The evidence will show that BP put profits before people, profits before safety and profits before the environment," Underhill said during opening statements.
Eleven workers died when the rig exploded April 20, 2010, and millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is hearing the case without a jury and — barring a settlement — will decide months from now how much more money BP and other companies involved in the ill-fated drilling project owe for their roles in the environmental catastrophe.
Attorney Jim Roy, who represents individuals and businesses
"Despite BP's attempts to shift the blame to other parties," Underhill said, "by far the primary fault for this disaster belongs to BP"
hurt by the spill, said BP executives applied "huge financial pressure" on its drilling managers to "cut costs and rush the job." The project was more than $50 million over budget and behind schedule at the time of the blowout, Roy said.
"BP repeatedly chose speed over safety," Roy said, quoting from a report by an expert who may test later.
Brad Brian, a lawyer for rig owner Transocean Ltd., said the Swiss-based drilling company had an experienced, well-trained crew on the rig. Brian said the Transocean workers' worst mistake may have been
the owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig failed to properly train its crew, calling it a "chronic problem allowed by Transocean management to go uncorrected."
"The work force was not always aware of the hazards they were exposed to," Roy said. "They don't know what they don't know."
Roy also said Halliburton deserved some of the blame for
"Despite BP's attempts to shift the blame to other parties,by far the primary fault for this disaster belongs to BP."
MIKE UNDERHILL Justice Department Attorney
placing too much trust in the BP rig supervisors on the rig.
Roy said the spill also resulted from rig owner Transocean Ltd.'s "woofe" safety culture. He said
"And they paid for that trust with their lives," Brian said. "They died not because they weren't trained properly. They died because critical information was withheld from them."
Lawyers for BP and Halliburton, the cement contractor that constructed the cement barrier to prevent oil or gas from flowing up the well, will outline their cases later Monday.
providing BP with a product that was "poorly designed, not properly tested and was unstable."
Under hill heaped blame on BP executives and onshore managers
have prevented the blast.
Underhill said Vidine and Mark Hafle, a BP engineer in Houston, discussed the test results over the phone less than an hour before the explosion but failed to take steps that could
for cost-cutting decisions they made in the months and weeks leading up the disaster. He said the primary "rig-based" cause of the blowout was a botched safety test in which two BP rig supervisors, Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidreine, disregarded abnormally high pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble.
"Instead, both men, armed with knowledge that could have saved 11 lives and prevented the Gulf oil spill, did absolutely nothing." Underhill said.
Kaluza and Vidrine have been indicted on federal manslaughter charges. Hafie hasn't been charged with wrongdoing.
BP has said it already has racked up more than $24 billion in spill-related expenses and has estimated it will pay a total of $42 billion to fully resolve its liability for the disaster.
But the trial attorneys for the federal government, Gulf states and attorneys for people and businesses hope to convince the judge that the company is liable for much more.
"In terms of sheer dollar amounts and public attention, this is one of the most complex and massive disputes ever faced by the courts," said Fordham University law professor Howard Erichson, an expert in complex litigation.
Hundreds of attorneys have worked on the case, generating roughly 90 million pages of documents, logging nearly 9,000 dockets entries and taking more than 300 depositions of witnesses who could testify at trial.
Barbier plans to hold the trial in at least two phases and may issue partial rulings at the end of each.

Ad Astra releases three more platforms
STUDENT SENATE
Ad Astra, the coalition opposing KUnited in the upcoming Student Senate elections, announced three additional platforms Monday via its Facebook page.
These come after three initial platforms were released last week. The three latest platforms include:
DECREASING TRANSCRIPT FEES FOR CURRENT STUDENTS
A STATE RESOLUTION TO ELIMINATE CALLE TAXES ON TECHPROWS
The coallition pledged to decrease the University fees required for sending current student transcripts for internship applications, graduate school applications and workforce applications.
Ad Astra said it will work with Kansas legislatures to eliminate sales taxes paid by all Kansas students on textbooks.
PAVILION ON THE HILL RENOVATION AND HARVEST WEEK
The coalition announced plans to renovate the pavilion overlooking Potter Lake in an effort to expand participation in Harvest Week, a fall philanthropic event started by the Greek community that raises money for local charities. The pavilion would serve as the venue for the Harvest Week concert.
The three previously disclosed platforms are locking in transfer tuition rates, improving student parking and forming a Student Senate endowment. Ad Astra's 2013 presidential and vice-presidential candidates are Marcus Tetwiller, a junior from Paola, and Emma Halling, a junior from Elkhart, Ind.

'Logs to Literature' turns trees into art
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
Local wood workers will have the opportunity to create art using the lumber that was taken from the trees that were removed for the recent renovations to the Lawrence Public Library.
University associate professors Matthew Burke and Mark Jakubauskas are facilitating the community art project, called "Logs to Literature."
The goal of the project is for makers like wood workers, artists and sculptors to take all of the wood that remains from the chopped trees, create woodwork art and sell the created pieces as a benefit for the Friends of the Library.
Burke, who is an associate professor of art at the University, said that the project will benefit both the makers and the library.
"I would like almost all the wood to be turned into artwork and fine pieces of craft by people in the community, and then for those pieces to be sold so that the clear cutting of trees turns into a financial gain for the library — hopefully tens of
thousands of dollars," Burke said.
DANIEL PALEN/KANSAN
Burke hopes that whatever cannot be turned into artwork will be repurposed.
"Wed like materials that are publicly owned to be repurposed so it's not turned into mulch," he said. "This way, the old library continues on into the future."
DANVER POLICE LIBRARY
Jakubauskas, who is co-facilitating the project with Burke, is a research associate professor with the Kansas Biological Survey and a courtesy associate professor with the University's environmental studies program.
"Citizens of Douglas County who are concerned about the tree removal and library expansion will have an opportunity to constructively express their concern by becoming involved," the release said. "The Logs to Literature program will economically benefit the Lawrence Public Library through the Friends of the Library. The attendance for the Logs to Literature exhibition will indirectly benefit Lawrence area businesses."
In a recent news article, Jakubauskas and Burke laid out the benefits of the program.
The Lawrence Public Library, currently under renovation, will be the site of a community art project, led by University associate professor Matthew Burke, and associate professor Mark Jakubauskas. Over the next several months, they intend to change the landscape of the area by repurposing the original trees that had to be removed.
Burke believes this is a great opportunity for the people of the Lawrence community to come together and use the created pieces to discover new things about themselves.
"I'd like the makers to have personal stake in the remodeling of the library, to make something that they didn't think they could make and have the experience of exhibiting their artwork or auctioning it off," Burke said. "It will give them a sense of ownership."
The deadline to turn in applications for the project is May 31. Burke said that since May is a few months down the road, he hasn't received any applications yet, but he has already had 135 people look at the proposal. The proposal asks applicants to keep to themes of
books or literature,but Burke is expecting the makers to use wood in ways they didn't think it could be used.
"Once we finish, the public will be able to see the talents and inspirations that are imbedded into this community come to life in wood," Burke said.

Students eyeing graduate school prepare for GRE
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
jjakowatz@kansan.com
As graduation draws nearer, seniors across the nation are trading their Saturday nights out for intense study sessions in the library.
"Balancing work, classes, an honrs thesis and studying for the GRE this semester has definitely been a challenge," said Bailey Widener, a senior from Kansas City, Kan.
For those seniors who have chosen to take the next step in their education and apply to graduate school, they must first do well on the GRE exam, a graduate school admissions test.
"I've been studying a little every night before going to sleep for the past three months, including during winter break, so balancing it with my school work hasn't been too tough." Do said.
Bryan Do, a senior from Wichita,
is taking the test on Saturday so
he can attend graduate school for
physical therapy. Do says that
studying a little bit at a time rather
than cramming all at once has
helped him prepare for the exam.
Widener also says that she has avoided cramming for the exam and thinks that studying over a long period of time will help come test day.
"I've tried to study a total of eight hours per week, and I plan to continue doing so until a few days before I take the exam," Widener said. "I want to take those few days leading up to the exam off so that I can center myself. There's no use in trying to cram at the last minute."
Kait Perry, a senior from Auburn, took the GRE exam as a junior last May for her studies in neurobiology, and said she is thankful that she planned ahead.
"I took the GRE early so I would have time to get my scores back and retake it if necessary," Perry said. "I ended up doing really well, and it has been awesome not having to worry about it this year."
According to the testing section of the University's website, the cost to take the GRE exam on campus is $175. Students can take the exam at 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and it generally takes four-and-a-half hours to complete. Students need to bring two forms of identification with signatures, and at least one must be a government-issued ID with a photo. Students may only take the exam once every 30 days and no more than five times per 12-month period. Test-takers are not allowed any other aids besides the provided pencil and scratch paper.
to prepare for the exam was to purchase a review book and complete as many practice tests as she could.
"Kaplan has a great review book that comes with a CD with 10 practice tests," Perry said. "It was the exact format of the exam and the best way I found to practice."
Perry decided that the best way
As Do prepares to take the exam on Saturday, he hopes that his scores will make him an attractive candidate for graduate schools.
"My GRE score will be looked at along with my GPA and extracurricular activities, so I'm just trying to cover all the bases and be well-rounded as possible." Do said.
Wilder is taking the GRE so that she can apply for Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology in the fall.
"Getting a good score on the GRE will broaden my options," Widener said. "Many programs look at your GRE score before they even consider your application, so it's very important to do well."
As for Perry, she is enjoying her senior year without worrying about taking the exam.
"My advice is to take it early, because you never know how you'll do," Perry said.

'Cannibal Cop' allegedly discussed killing wife in online chat rooms
"I was going to be tied up by my feet and my throat slit, and they would have fun watching the blood gush out of me because I was young." Kathleen Mangan-Valle told a Manhattan jury that one chat revealed.
Mangan-Valle, 27, also read about plans to put one friend in a suitcase, wheel her out of her building and murder her. Two other women were "going to be

The officer has claimed his online discussions of cannibalism were harmless fetish fantasies. But in opening statements Monday, a prosecutor said "very real women" were put in jeopardy.
"The suffering was for his enjoyment, and he wanted to make it last as long as possible," she said.

POLITICS
Legislators factually incorrect in new bill
The Kansas Legislature is attempting to screw individuals' sexual health and not in a good way.
On Feb. 6, HB 2253 was introduced in the legislature, a 70-page bill that endeavors to severely restrict reproductive freedom in the state of Kansas. It further limits freedoms of individuals with the capability to become pregnant who decide to terminate a pregnancy. And while there are numerous sections in the bill I could criticize and tear into about their complete lack of respect for individual's rights to choose as well as inserting religious doctrine into secular governmental regulation. I'll focus on one section in particular. Specifically, how it requires doctors by law to feed false information to their patients when they consider receiving an abortion.
The bill states that "abortion causes breast cancer." This statement originates from an
outdated study that has long been disproven. In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in February of 2003 "a workshop of over a 100 of the world's leading experts who study pregnancy and breast cancer risk
By Katherine Gwynn
... they concluded that having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman's subsequent risk of developing breast cancer."
Yet Kansas legislators – even though they could discover this by, you know, talking to a doctor, for example – insist this is "medical fact" rather than antiquated and discredited research. In which case, if we're allowing information that has been proven by science to still reign as reality, then I declare Pluto is still a planet. Because science used to say it was.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
Personally, I think I'll trust medical professionals rather than politicians when it comes to what is actually medical fact, which "abortion causes breast cancer"
is not.
This section's inclusion in the bill not only stands out as morally wrong - requiring doctors to lie to their patients in order to coerce them into decisions about their bodies sounds like a hypocritical no-no to me - but tarnishes the reputation of the University of Kansas Medical Center.
in terms of the recognition the University has received for the work its students are doing to end cancer. But requiring doctors that train at KU Med who go on to practice in Kansas to tell individuals that they are at risk for breast cancer if they receive an abortion is an insult to the field of cancer research and to the doctor-patient relationship.
Just this past summer, the University received accreditation as a National Cancer Institute. This is incredible, not only for what it means for increased opportunities and funds for medical advances at KU Med, but
Also, the National Cancer Institute? They're kind of the ones who, if you remember from earlier in the article, have said breast cancer and abortion have no correlation. So now our med school would be required to basically train doctors who practice in Kansas to say, "Hey that big important entity who funds us?" And who are cancer experts? Yeah, those guys have no idea what they're saying."
You might be pro-choice. You might be pro-life. But either way, you should be kind of pissed that your legislators are trying to get
your doctors to lie to you about something that has blatantly been proven is a lie.
Also, I can't be the only one tired of a bunch of people in Topeka being so incredibly concerned about the future of my ovaries that they're willing to write 70 pages of anti-abortion legislation — in the fourth strictest state in terms of abortion regulations — when we have other things to focus on, like the economy.
So call your legislator. If you don't know who they are, go to openkansas.org and type in the address where you're registered. E-mail them, tweet them, call them, whatever. Just let your legislature know that this piece of legislation? Yeah. Not cool, bro.

I am quick to correct anyone who calls me a petroleum "engineer." I prefer the title petroleum "engineering student."
I understand that the former is shorter and largely innocuous. But, even if unintended, I can't help but feel that there is the smallest bit of conceitedness in the phrase. It makes me uneasy.
It's easy to see why the phrase "petroleum engineer" is a wildly imprecise way to describe me. I study petroleum engineering, but I don't have my degree. I interned over the summer, but I've never worked as a petroleum engineer.
By Chris Ouyang
couyang@kansan.com
A strong comparison can be made to teaching assistants. Try calling a TA "professor" just to gauge his or her reaction. It's awkward. It's confusing. It's not true. In fact, my own economics TA has specifically told our class to not call him professor because he doesn't have his Ph.D. When he finishes his studies, maybe he will apply to be a professor somewhere. But for now, he is not a professor and doesn't want to be called one.
If a TA avoids the title "professor" like it's hot lava, engineering students avoid the title "engineer" like it's free Chipole.
On some subconscious level, we love being called engineers. Although mostly unproven, we wish to be recognized by a title we have yet to earn. We love being told how much money we are going to make when we graduate. We love hearing (particularly from other engineering students) that the engineer has the most difficult degree path. Oh, we love comparing how little sleep we get, relishing the chance to one-up fellow engineers. We thrive in sit in a room and air our homework and test grievances for whoever wants to listen. We love — absolutely love
- calling ourselves engineers.
this occurs with pre-med and pre-law students as well. Even though there is no pre-med or pre-law degree, that post-bachelor's degree plan always sneaks into a conversation. It's never "I'm studying English and psychology," but somehow always "I'm double majoring and going to law-school." The conversation is 20 percent "I'm majoring in chemistry" and 80 percent "I'm pre-med, but, yeah, I'm studying chemistry." It's as if the pre-med or pre-law student is embarrassed, or at the very least unsatisfied, to identify only by their degree. I wonder if biology students secretly dream of being called doctor and political science students can't wait to have a J.D.
We all want others, even complete strangers, to think highly of us just like medicine, law and engineering are highly regarded disciplines. There's nothing wrong with that. We want others to know how difficult it is to achieve that high regard and how much we're willing to sacrifice to get there. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your studies and accurately projecting your future plans.
It often isn't that innocent. At the core, calling myself an engineer is indicative of a deeply rooted superiority complex, something that just has no place at our University. I don't think I'm being too radical in suggesting that an "engineer" at the University may look down
on a liberal arts student. It's not outrageous to think that an "engineer" at the University is, forgive me, already counting the chickens before any of the eggs have hatched. It's fair to say that an "engineer" at the University could alienate his or her non-engineering friends with constant babble about what it's like to be an "engineer." By constantly calling ourselves engineers instead of engineering students, we perpetuate these problems.
Even if you think identifying as your profession before you've graduated doesn't have a taint of smugness, it has other effects. It sets expectations. What happens when a struggling student who has called himself an engineer for two years decides to change majors? It creates an insider-outsider mentality. Anytime anyone ends a statement with "It's because I'm an engineer," I pause. When someone successfully solves a problem for another, but says, "Ah, it's because you aren't an engineer," I literally crine. Even if you don't think it's a big deal, others are looking on with the same discomfort.
We are all students, just trying to make it to the next semester. We are treading water. We want to graduate; we want to do well. We shouldn't be feeding our egos and pretend like we're already in the middle of a successful career. Rather, we should enjoy youth and explore the common threads that make us KU students: love for basketball, a desire for the weekend and a focus on academic excellence. I don't want to be known as a petroleum engineer. I want to be known as a petroleum engineering student.

Students affect squirrel lifestyle
Dogs aren't supposed to eat chocolate. Cats aren't supposed to drink milk.
Sophomore Sara Brigham has witnessed a squirrel eating a mini snickers bar on campus. Freshman Nora Elbayoumy saw a KU squirrel eating an entire piece of pizza. Freshman Shannon James witnessed a squirrel grab an entire bag of chips, and then took the fire escape stairs to avoid climbing a tree.
Squirrels aren't supposed to eat… corndogs? It doesn't take an expert to figure out that human junk food is not part of a squirrel's natural diet.
I asked my friends and fellow scholarship hall residents for their craziest squirrel stories. People had a lot to say about things they have seen squirrels do and eat.
As reported by The Washington Post, although squirrels are technically granivores (animals that eat grains and nuts), they will eat almost anything. I have seen several squirrels dig through the dumpster outside of my scholarship hall and carry corndogs into the trees to snack on. It doesn't stop with corndogs.
According to Wild Birds Unlimited, squirrels can eat their own body weight (approximately 1.5 pounds) of food each week.
The human dependency doesn't end with their dietary choices; it infiltrates into their building of homes. Squirrels abandon natural materials for potential dangerous material left carelessly by humans. Freshman Adelle Loney spotted a few squirrels making a hideout with scraps and shards of plastic. Sophomore Jess Gregory spotted a squirrel carrying in his mouth a ball of cotton bigger than his body.
This dependency can also affect squirrel behavior. With such close interaction between humans and squirrels, the natural barrier of fear is broken down. Junior Emily Freese reports a squirrel throwing a nut at her head. Freshman Zoe Jewell has seen many encounters between students and squirrels that could have easily escalated into an attack. Junior Autumn Smith said that a squirrel spit on her shoulder and threw an acorn at her forehead. According to his paper "Do Squirrels Matter?" Jeffrey C. Barg stated, "Scientists

conclude that squirrels do show personality, and that, in fact, the personality of a mother squirrel is essential for the growth rate and survival of her babies." I'm most concerned about how this personality is shaped by human interference.
So what? What is the worst that could happen, obese, rude squirrels living in homes made of trash? As trivial as this topic seems, squirrels are a necessary element in our ecosystem. According to Backyard Nature, squirrels' job in our ecosystem is to plant seeds. This is especially when the seeds are too heavy to be moved very far by the wind.
With the squirrels receiving a large amount of food at a dumpster "buffet", eventually, less seeds will be planted. The more the squirrels deviate from their diet and depend on humans for food as well as shelter, the less likely they will continue to rely on their instincts and natural tree-planting habits.
There are a couple of things we can do to prevent squirrels from endangering themselves through poor diet and dangerous trash holding. First of all, we can be sure to recycle anything and everything that is possible. Some of the more dangerous materials could be easily recycled and picked up rather than tempting the squirrel in its favorite hang-out place: the dumpster. Also, when we must throw away food or non-recyclable material, it is crucial that we close and guard the trash against animal infiltration. This means tie your trash bags tight and cover your trash can or dumpster if possible.
Squirrels are a beloved part of the campus. Whether students are reporting a squirrel attack in the FFA or reading about squirrels on the Squirrels of KU Twitter account, squirrels are an integral part to our campus, and we should do our best to promote good health to our bushy-tailed friends.

Two of the four members of the MTV show "The Buried Life" will lead an interactive video lecture discussing the show and how they help people accomplish their goals, according to the Student Union Activities' website.
Brothers Jonnie and Duncan Penn, along with Dave Lingwood and Ben Nemtin, make up the cast of the MTV show, "The Buried Life." The series focuses on four friends who travel across America and try to complete all of the items on their bucket list. Along the way, they not only work on their own lists, but also help strangers achieve one of their dreams and encourage others to go after their own ambitions.
The men's bio said that their
project started in a garage in Victoria, B.C., Canada. After borrowing an RV and buying a camera off eBay, they expected to only be on the road for about two weeks. Nearly six years later, they continue their mission helping millions of people around the world rally together to accomplish their goals and inspire change.
SUA is sponsoring the event. Kaitlin DeJong, a sophomore from Liberty, Mo., said that although this was a splurge for the SUA, it "knew that it would be good for the KU community and knew a lot of different organizations would benefit from the lecture."
Bringing "The Buried Life" to campus took several steps.
"We were first approached by NRHH, one of the housing organizations who were looking for some help in funding to bring the Buried Life here to KU", Dejlong said. "After looking into the event, SUA thought it would be a great
event that can relate to every single person here on campus and teamed up with NRHH to make it a reality"
DeJong said the men will talk about how they came up with the idea of "100 things to do before you die" and how they made it to where they are today. A call-to-action speech will follow, which will address how to get involved within a local community.
FASHION
After the discussion, students will have the chance to meet the men and get an autograph.
DeJong hopes that through the discussion, the students and community will become motivated and realize that they can do anything they set their heart to.
The event will start at 7 p.m. in Budig 120. Admission is free with a Student Saver Card, $2 with a KU ID and $5 for the general public.

Milan Fashion Week uses technology-driven fashion
COLLECTIONS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Models wear creations for GiannFRanche Ferre women's Fall-Winter 2013-14 collection, part of the Milan Fashion Week, unveiled in Milan, Italy on Monday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN — Milan designers have proposed assertive and even aggressive looks for next year, as if to fill a power vacuum felt keenly in Italy in the face of political uncertainty and a resigning pope.
The looks presented during six days of fashion previews that ended Monday were structured and solid, inspired by architecture and design and employing sturdy fabrics to create fresh shapes.
In many ways, it was technology-driven fashion. Designers continued to experiment with and create new materials. There was a lot of leather and fur worked in new ways. Mohair was worked as a fur substitute. Spandex was used as a contrast to soften the looks, and cashmere, lace and revealing transparencies maintained a feminine air.
The use of technology was also reflected in patterns, which at times were based on distorted digital photos or a pixilated effect.
The looks were rarely mannish, although at times androgynous.
It was a big season for big coats — and big fur. There were many fur accessories, like shawls and stoles, and all-out coats tended to be fashioned out of dyed fur in bold yellows, reeds and pinks — and even fake animal prints.
The silhouette was wide at the shoulder, cinched at the waist and often flared at the bottom. The most obvious reference was to the hourglass. Hemlines were mostly a proper, below-the-knee length — although there were also super-short and long versions.
The revelation of the season for footwear was the thigh-high boot that appeared to be tights. The latest bags were a large shopper, even larger backpacks — but mostly small ladylike handbags.
The fashion caravan moves on to Paris, leaving Italy to contemplate a new government and welcome a new pope.
ARMANI
Glorio Armani had the last word at Milan Fashion Week, and not only where the clothes were concerned.
Armani's latest winter collection came almost all in black, with accents of gray, navy and red. The chic-yet-simple collection spoke to a contemporary woman, who in the designer's own words is "a little man, a little woman, and a lot of both."
FERRE
The Ferre winter woman is bold and vet feminine.
She endorses the structured look so popular for this round of preview showings, with prominent shoulders and waist cinched in a wide obi belt. A revisitation of the famed Ferre structured shirt, with its prominent collar and wide sleeve, fits perfectly in the new look.

THE MORNING BREW Manziel is becoming the ultimate celeb
Winning the Heisman was the least cool thing Johnny Manziel had done in the past six
months.
Manziel took college football by storm this year, being the first freshman to win the Heisman trophy. But it's more than that solidifies "Johnny Football" as a legend.
"Rockstar" is an all-too-telling identity for the guy who has become admirably notorious for "knowing how to have a good time." Some scoff at Manziel's nightclub appearances, particularly his post-Cotton Bowl victory celebration in Dallas when he was photographed clutching a bottle of Dom Perignon. The pictures had sticklers up in arms about this underage drinking nonsense - that is, until everyone found out that underage drinking is allowed in

Texas if you have parental consent. And he did: his parents were at the nightclub with him.
"Johny Football" has had a string of run-ins with the likes of party animal Rob Gronkowski, Terrell Owens, Jessica Biel, Lebron James, Justin Timberlake, Rick Ross and even Jase and Willie Robertson from "Duck Dynasty," to name a few. He
was on stage with Wale at All-Star Weekend. He sat courtside at two NBA games and snagged premium Super Bowl, NCAA National Championship and Dallas Cowboys tickets.
Can we talk about Halloween? I'll save you the search. Manziel donned a fullon Scooby Doo outfit, and as seen in the leaked photos, the ladies loved it. And his girlfriend now? Let's just say that ESPN may have to bench Brent Musburger for next season's Texas A&M broadcasts.
That's not all. As if "Dude Perfect" couldn't get any cooler, Manziel joins the gang in a special feature episode. In it, Manziel drains what may be the longest shot ever made.
Manziel has been everywhere - everywhere but campus, that is. Word got out last week that Manziel has enrolled exclusively for online classes this semester because of his celebrity status.
KU
The difference between him and celebrities, though, is that celebrities make money. But he's getting there. Texas A&M hired a research firm to total Manziel's media exposure, and it found that the exposure totaled $37 million for Texas A&M. The figure does not include his influence on merchandise sales, ticket requests or donations to the school, all of which are figures that historically see dramatic increases for teams that possess the most recent Heisman winner. Oh, and he doesn't get a cut.
Once drafted, will the money ruin Manziel? I wouldn't place a bet on either side. But as for now, he's playing it quite well.

WOMEN'S GOLF
Golf shows improvement this week at Invitational
The Kansas women's golf team left the Florida State Match Up Invitational last week with a bad taste in its mouth. The Jayhawks finished 10th out of 12 teams, but the team is back in Florida this week and in much better standings Kansas put up a 292 first-round score in the morning — a 2013 best — and
after the first 36 holes of play, Kansas has sole possession of third place and is just seven strokes off the lead.
"We played really well in the morning when we shot 292, which was one of our best rounds of the year so far," said Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil. "They were playing well, and a few of them were taking it under par for a while."
Leading the way for the Jayhawks is
Yupaporn Kawipakorn, who turned in two cards of 72 and is four shots off the tournament lead heading into the final 18 holes. Meghan Poteen is three shots behind Kawipakorn, sitting at +3 for the tournament. Minami Levonwich started off yesterday with an even round of 72, but an afternoon round of 78 set her back to +6 for the tournament.
"Our ball-striking was better, and we were better on the greens as well."
O'Neil said. "We had some putts falling for us - especially some birdie putts. They did good job of mentally managing their game, just making better decisions, and that's really key for us to shoot our best."
O'Neil was concerned about the bottom half of the lineup last week. Part of that problem was solved with Levonowich, who is currently tied for 18th place. A large stroke seperates the next two
Jayhawks, the closest being Thanattra Boonrakasat, who is currently tied for 58th place.
The Jayhawks are six strokes from second place at the Florida Invitational. The Jayhawks were forced to accept an 81 today from Audrey Yowell as the fourth score — a score that distanced the Jayhawks from the tournament front-runners. The improvement from last week is evident though, and for
O'Neil, that's all that needs to happen.
"I just want to see them keep doing what they are doing today," O'Neil said. "They did a good job of staying in the moment, being present. If they slipped a little, they fought back and didn't get down on themselves, and we just need to keep doing that."

GAME TO REMEMBER
Elijah Johnson, senior guard
Hands down the best game Johnson has played for the Jayhawks: 39 points, seven assists, five rebounds and only three turnovers. Not to mention he hit shots deep enough to make Jimmer Fredette blush. Of Kansas' 18 overtime points, Johnson factored in 15 of them.

Ben McLemore, freshman guard
When McLemore's Kansas career is over, you might have to do a double-take when looking over his stat line at Iowa State. The freshman phenom was invisible in Ames, taking just six field goal attempts and scoring seven points.

McLemore
Travis Releford, senior guard
Before this became Elijah's night, Releford was the reason Kansas was alive. Every time the Jayhawks needed a big shot Releford was there to knock it down, going 5-9 from the three and scoring 19 points.

The game was less than three minutes old, but coach Bill Self was already fuming, or at least he appeared to be. Senior point guard Elijah Johnson had just been called for a defensive foul, but Self wanted a travel.
"I told (official) Mark Whitehead afterwards, I said, 'You know I tried to get that,' and he said he knew," Self said. "It was too early in the game to get upset. I thought
PETER HUNTER
Self
"Are you kidding me?" Self screamed at the
officials. The rest of what he said was harder to decipher, but it was enough to warrant him a technical foul.
Just like when the two teams met at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season, the Cyclones had a late lead, but again, a Kansas miracle forced overtime. And again, Iowa State never really had much of a chance in overtime.
The officials weren't playing a joke on Self. However, by the end of the game, it was Iowa State that must have felt like it was the victim of another cruel joke, this one being a 108-96 overtime Kansas victory.
The raucous and vicious Cyclone student section expected for most of the game they
that was the best thing to show our team that we came to fight."
But it wasn't just Johnson who played well. All four senior starters scored at least 13 points. When seniors Kevin Young and Jeff Withey were saddled with foul trouble in the second half and overtime, freshman forward Perry Ellis stepped up.
would get to rush the floor and celebrate when the buzzer sounded. Iowa State shot 17-41 from 3-point range and 29-34 from the free-throw line.
"Them making threes is a little bit more deflating then them making twos," Self said. "The last 17 minutes, it became a guard's game."
He had perhaps the best game as a Jayhawk, hitting all four of his free-throw attempts and draining two jumpers, one at the top of the key and one on the baseline. With freshman Ben McLemore — the hero of the first Iowa State game — held to only seven points, Ellis became the freshman to step up.
And while the Cyclones' guards and even forward Georges Niang rained down 3-pointers all night, it was Johnson who proved to be the best guard on the floor.
Self said. "What I was most pleased about, when it looked bad, that's when we made our best plays. We're down seven, and all of a sudden, we scored four points in transition and get it back where it's a one-possession game."
Johnson scored 11 points in the final three minutes of regulation play and 12 points in overtime.
The senior scored a career-high 39 points, the most ever scored by a Jayhawk in a Big 12 game. Johnson, who has endured a lot of criticism for his play this year after shifting from his natural position as shooting guard to point guard, helped deliver Self his 500th career victory.
He had some big key rebounds at the end of the game, and he stepped up and made his free throws," Releford said. "It changed the game a bunch."
Many thought the point guard had played his way out of the NBA draft, but representatives from the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trailblazers were on hand to witness his career night.
"He's real strategic, in my opinion," Johnson said of Self. "I'm sort of a strategic person, too, so I fell in love with it. I wouldn't rather play for no other coach."
When the buzzer sounded — five minutes after many expected — it was Self doing the celebrating, not Iowa State. His Jayhawks remained tied with Kansas State for first place in the Big 12 at 12-3. And self now has 500 wins.
"I won't remember 400 or 300 or 200 or 100, but I guarantee I'll always remember this one," Self said. "This was a good one."
"it's great to win no matter what, but it's always better to win if you have to go through some crap or show some toughness to win."

Last night, they found him on the court in Hilton Coliseum.
COMMENTARY Johnson shines at Iowa State
It couldn't happen at a better time. With 47 seconds remaining, the Jayhawks looked on, shocked by yet another Georges Niang 3-pointer. Niang contributed three 3-point field goals in his 15-point performance, pushing the Iowa State lead at that moment to a daunting 87-82.
The Elijah that dropped 18 against Purdue to advance Kansas to the Sweet Sixteen and an eventual National Championship appearance?
Kansas fans have been looking for him for quite some time in this 2013 campaign.
Remember NCAA Tournament Elijah Johnson?
The Jayhawks stood to lose their share of the lead in the Big 12, with Kansas State beating Texas Tech 75-55 earlier in the night. They also stood to prolong Bill Self's road to 500 career victories. Not on Elias's night.
The senior point guard, who faced much scrutiny from coaches and fans alike throughout the season, played the game of his career when the Jayhawks needed it most.
Elijah scored 39 points on 13-of-22 shooting with seven assists and a perfect 7-of-7 performance at the free-throw line. Even better, Johnson attacked the rim with more confidence than he has since last year's NCAA Tournament. The game turned out to be a career high for Johnson, and a clutch mark at that, considering the moment.
Yes, it's one game. But after a rock-solid performance like that, it's tough to argue the mindset of Elijah Johnson.
By Trevor Graff
tgraff@kansan.com
Lookout, Big 12; the Jayhawks are holding on to their share of the lead.
With Kevin Young and Jeff Withey fouled out in what was a rough performance at best for Big 12 officials. Elijah Johnson took over. The senior scored 12 points in overtime after leading Kansas down the stretch in another shootout that nearly slipped from the grasp of the Jayhawks.
It comes down to three fundamentals of a fierce leader and competitor: Johnson saw shots fall early and gained confidence. That confidence fed his aggressive mindset in attacking the rim. Aggressive play down the stretch fed Johnson in those clutch-closing moments of the first half and the overtime.
1234567890
Even better, Elijah's back.
What changed in Elijah's performance?
Eight points in the final 32 seconds to tie a game on the road in Hilton Coliseum. It doesn't get any more clutch — until the overtime period.

Down 87-82 with 32 seconds on the clock, it was Elijah who hit the 3-pointer to pull the Jayhawks within two. Elijah hit the next 3-pointer, an impossible fadeaway with 15 seconds on the clock, cutting the lead to 88-89. He also hit the two free throws that tied a game that looked like a loss shortly before his run.

A higher percentage of women use birth control than did in the past decade, according to a study released this month by the Centers for Disease Control. The survey of 12,000 women from 2006 to 2010 found that 99 percent of sexually active women aged 15 to 44 have used contraceptives in their lifetimes, largely the same since 2002. The use of emergency contraceptives in the form of Plan B or other morning-after pills has more than doubled.

this Plan B, to prevent an unwanted pregnancy", Haley Miller said.
"The increasing number of women who are using it as birth control is reflective of how much birth control is talked about in our society and women not having access to more reliable forms of contraceptives: the pill, condoms, what have you," Miller said. "It needs to open up a larger discussion about more effective and long-term types of birth control"
Miller, a senior from Kingman, believes that all women should be educated about and made aware of birth control options. Contraceptives, she said, should be accessible to all women who are sexually active.

While 11 percent of women ages 15 to 44 surveyed said they have used the morning-after pill, a staggering 25 percent of women in their early 20s have. Half of these women said they used the morning-after pill, which must be taken within the first five days after having unprotected sex. Of surveyed women who have used the morning-after pill, 59 percent say they have only used it once.
"You just take the morning-after pill for an emergency protection," said Mark Smith, a pharmacist
health care law, effective for all new health insurance plans as of August 2012, requires health insurers and employers to include birth control in their health insurance plans. Despite political controversy, the law applies to emergency contraceptives when prescribed by a doctor. The morning-after pill, however, is generally purchased over-the-counter.
HALEY MILLER Senior from Kingman
Emergency contraceptives prevent pregnancy by inhibiting the egg from becoming fertilized: morning-after pills delay ovulation or thicken cervical mucus so sperm cannot move to meet the egg.

When Abby Petrulis visits Massachusetts Street, she's on the lookout for something unique and exciting, like a quirky shop, vintage store or one-of-a-kind restaurant.
"It's always alive. There's always something going on," she said.
"There's simply no place like it."
ERIN BREMER/KANSAN
Downtown Lawrence and the surrounding area was designated as a cultural district as of Feb. 12, 2013. The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission proposed the change with hopes to link important sites downstairs with sites in the Warehouse district.
Petrulis, a freshman from Olathe, is one of many who feel this way. It's a proven fact that Lawrence is a unique college town. In fact, it's one of the top ten in the nation according to the American Institute for Economic Research.
Recently, the downtown area gained another prominent distinction as a local cultural area. The area, spanning east from Kentucky Street to the Burroughs Creek Trail, includes Massachusetts Street, the city library, South Park, Watkins Museum and other landmarks.
The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission proposed the designation, and the Lawrence City Commission approved it Feb. 12.
Dianne Stoddard, cityliaison for the Cultural Arts Commission, said that this will be able to bring money into the city and arts center by way of grant funding.

The School of Education is taking steps to implement a two-year blended master's program that will focus on self-directed, online learning. Pilot classes have already seen success.
School of Education to offer online master's program
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
The School of Education is implementing a blended master's program for educational administration, meaning students pursuing a master's degree in this field of study will be able to complete their degree through the Internet.
The degree is designed for students to complete in two years and fulfills the academic requirements for state license for positions such as assistant principal or principal. The new blended program will eliminate the time students spend traveling to class and attending class on campus by focusing on online self-directed learning.
Joseph Novak, Director of the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies Department in the School of Education, said the blended master's program will finally enable more students to obtain a master's degree in the educational administration.
Stacy Rietzke, a student from
"The School of Education together with the University has felt a need to bring a competitive hybrid program into the market." Novak said.
Mission who is currently pursuing the degree, says the pilot program is working well for her.
"In piloting several traditional classes this past fall and spring semester, students are applauding the efforts of the School of Education in scheduling several class sessions in an interactive video conference format. Utilizing 'Adobe Connect', we have been able to hold several seminar classes while students have been in their homes." Novak said.
"Dr. Novak has stepped out of his comfort zone to accommodate our class through Adobe Connect. This program allows our class to not only receive real-time audio/video lectures from him, but it also allows us all to participate and share our experiences through the audio and video," Rietzke said in an email.
Novak has done his own research on the success of hybrid programs and believes the new blended program will attract more students to the University.
"Most hybrid programs available allow the flexibility of completing a good part of the course responsibilities at their computers, in their homes, and when they had the time."
By using the Internet, Novak said the new hybrid program will allow students to balance daily life with completing a master's degree.
"After teaching at school all day, it makes it convenient to be able to learn from home. It saves the driving time and money I was wasting before. Although I was uneasy about the thought of online courses at first, the hybrid program offered through KU has put those concerns to rest, as we are able to discuss and reflect our experiences through the convenience of our own home." Rietze said.
"Students wanting to pursue a master's degree in educational administration can now apply to a nationally ranked program without having to travel to campus on a weekly basis for traditional classes. Interested students can now balance their career schedules and family responsibilities without having to sacrifice either with multiple trips to campus." Nowak said.
Students who want to apply for the new blended Master of Science in Education degree have until April 1 to submit their application.

Drought persists despite heavy plains snowfall
ST. LOUIS — The blanket of snow covering much of the Great Plains after two big storms in less than a week may provide some relief for parched areas, but it's no "drought-buster," experts said Tuesday.
States like Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma have been among the hardest hit by the drought that at one point covered two-thirds of the nation. Now, they're buried under snow from two storms just days apart that dumped nearly 20 inches on Wichita, and more than a foot in other Plains states.
instead of soaking into the rock-hard ground.
The snow may help ease the drought some, but it's unlikely to have a big impact because it is sitting largely on frozen ground, especially in the upper Plains. As snow on the surface melts, the water is likely to run off into rivers and streams
That's good news for those who depend on the many rivers and lakes that are near historic lows because of the drought. But it does little to help farmers who need the moisture to soak into the soil so they can grow plants, said Brian Fuchs, of the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb.
Even if all the snow melted straight into the ground, it wouldn't break the drought. A foot of snow equals roughly an inch of rain, and parts of the Plains are roughly 20 inches short of precipitation. Fuchs said.
Tesla could use a wet spring after two years of drought. The state just had the third-driest two-year span its history, getting just 71 percent of normal rainfall in 2011 and 2012 combined.

Employers consider GPA, other factors when hiring

for a high GPA for multiple reasons. They may need a certain GPA to keep scholarships, to remain on an athletic team or simply to prove to themselves that they can do it.
Why are they hiring? Employers in the survey said they are hiring in order to increase their companies' talent with new college graduates and to compensate for an aging work force. Some companies are working to establish college recruiting programs or expand existing programs.
How many employers screen candidates by GPA? More than 78 percent of responding employees said they would screen job candidates based on GPA this year.

Also — 63.5 percent of responding employers said they would use a GPA cutoff of a 3.0.

from field to field. He said that GPA may matter more for people working in a math or science industry because they deal with more technical things, but other fields may not be as crucial.
"A high GPA shows that you put in a lot of work, but not necessarily your skills." Miletich said.
"Why put the effort in if you aren't going to try your best?" Johansen said.
Candy Johansen, a non-traditional student from Hiawatha, said that she doesn't focus on getting straight As as much as always trying her hardest.
Some professionals agree with these students. Katrina Redding, outreach coordinator for the University Career Center, said that a specific GPA requirement for getting hired usually depends on the company. She said that regardless of the situation, students should be prepared.
"You always want to put yourself in the best position." Reddips said.
When looking for specific qualities in newly graduated prospective employees, Redding said that experience is a big factor. She said that if a student can get an internship or job related to their industry, the experience can pick up skills that employers value.
Patty Noland, career develop
ment coordinator for the School of Journalism, said that most employers, at least in the journalism field, don't have a required minimum for a GPA. She said that internships, campus media and involvement with student groups are key.
"They want well-rounded individuals," Noland said.
If a student's GPA falls below the norm for their industry, they may be able to make up for it in other ways. Susan Davis-Ali, who has a doctorate in clinical psychology and is the founder of Leadership1, recently said in a USA Today College article that students should leverage their network to the fullest. She also said that she may be more impressed with a 3.0 student who worked two jobs to put themselves through college rather than a 4.0 student who didn't work at all.
While some people tend to agree that GPA isn't as crucial as other factors, others claim it is still extremely important when applying for jobs.
Patrick O'Brien, author of Making College Count, recently
said in a USA Today College article that GPA is particularly important if a student is interested in working for a large or mid-sized company. He also said that if possible, students should aim for a 3.4, and if that isn't achievable, work for a 3.0 or above.
According to the Job Outlook 2013 Survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers,78 percent of those surveyed said they will be screening applicants for their GPA. This was an all-time high for the number of employers that will be screening candidates for GPA. This survey also showed that 63.5 percent of respondents have a GPA cutoff of 3.0.
Opinions aside, GPA is used to measure students' abilities while they are in school. Graduation isn't getting further away, and GPA is still a factor when looking for employment after college.

Bud Light beer is shown in the aisles of Elite Beverages in Indianapolis. Bear lovers across the country have filed $5 million class-action lawsuits accused Anheuser-Busch of watering its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands.

PHILADELPHIA — Beer lovers across the U.S. have accused Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands, in class-action suits seeking millions in damages.
to be just over 4 percent.
The lawsuits are based on information from former employees at the company's 13 U.S. breweries, some in high-level plant positions, according to lead lawyer Josh Boxer of San Rafael, Calif.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The suits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the alcohol content stated on labels. Budweiser and Michelob each boast of being 5 percent alcohol, while some "light" versions are said
"Our information comes from former employees at Anheuser-Busch, who have informed us that as a matter of corporate practice, all of their products mentioned (in the lawsuit) are watered down," Foxer said. "It's a simple cost-saving measure, and it's very significant."
The diversity that downtown brings to the Lawrence community makes spending an afternoon people watching or an evening listening to outdoor musicians enjoyable activities for Tatro.
The music scene is what sets Lawrence's downtown apart, according to Wichita freshman Alex Tatro. Her favorite experience to date was attending a show at The Bottleneck in early October.

"I like being downtown because of the characters here," she said. "There are so many different types of people who are all so
the same kind of arts scene and music scene and those kinds of things as Lawrence does," Stoddard said. "This designation of a district is a way to sort of more unify our assets that we already have and perhaps create opportunities in the future."
"It has a wide variety of musical options and places for that. It's not like your typical downtown," Tatro said.
Anheuser-Busch InBev called the claims "groundless" and said its beers fully comply with labeling laws.
The excess water is added just before bottling and cuts the stated alcohol content by 3 percent to 8 percent, he said.
The suit involves 10 Anheuser-Busch products: Budweiser, Bud Ice, Bud Light Platinum, Michelob, Michelob Ultra, Hurricane High Gravity Lager, King Cobra, Busch Ice, Natural Ice and Bud Light Lime.
The designation is something Kelly feels solidifies the originality of the community.
"Our students know that that's a neat place in town with a lot of cool things going on, both downtown and within that area. It just sort of brands that area, identifies that area as being really culturally significant in Kansas and, I think, across the country."
Kelly said a task force will be appointed by the city commission to determine the next steps to enhance and preserve the resources downtown.

Patrick Kelly, chair of the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission, believes the designation will help downtown continue to develop.

"It's a stronger pill — double or more the strength of what someone might be taking on a daily basis," Smith said. "You still have some risk of clot relation but that's moderate relative to the risk you might be taking if you get pregnant."
The morning-after pill is sold over-the-counter to women over the age of 17 and generally costs between $35 and $65. Women younger than 17 must have a doctor's prescription.

I sent in a funny FFA, and now no one will see it because of a snow day. (

Just because it's snowing, it does NOT mean it's OK to play Christmas music.
All day marathon of Star Wars? Don't mind if I do!
Go to class in this weather? You couldn't pay me. Go to the bars? Not even an issue.
So shorts are not acceptable in snow but leggings are? Please explain.
Stop complaining about how many hours you have to take. You're in college, it's expected — you're not special.

Minimum wage good for the middle class
Raising the minimum wage is one of the most efficient and powerful changes the federal government can make to help rebuild the middle class. There are arguments in both courts, but the new federal benefits nearly always outweigh its problems.
Job creators are not the gargantuan corporations or their overpaid armies of CEOs, COOs, and presidents. Anyone who's been an entrepreneur for more than five minutes knows that maximizing profits does not mean hiring more employees. That is a last resort. I mean dying-on-a-desert-island drink-your-own-pee last resort.
I called up my manager at my summer job and asked about picking up the spatula over winter break. He said that he'd already been told to drop every full-timer to part time. The boys and girls upstairs in pinstripes at the Four Seasons would rather
lose a finger than hire more.
We the people need to squeeze businesses like the bulbous sit they are and force them to hire more of us. That means buying power. That means less cash to monthly bills and food, and more to luxury items and services. That means more than eight frowning presidents an hour.
Businesses begin to squirm when they hear talk like this. They know that an increased minimum wage is an upfront expense right out of their pockets, and that's all they really care about: maximizing immediate profits. When these businesses' lobbyists head to Capitol Hill they just slide some campaign funds across the table, adjust their ties, and give their best Barney Stinson wink. Hello, political stagnation.

They need some rough and tough manhandling if we want to change this. Businesses might suffer the torture of compensating their employees fairly. Watch out if you follow Donald Trump on twitter, he'll have a manifesto ready to live-tweet.
The more money workers in the middle and lower classes have, the more they can invest into their communities and even back into the companies they've worked so many years for. Instead of companies treating their employees like leeches, and employees treating their companies like overlords, we can return to a time when the relationship between employee and business was symbiotic.
Speaking of times far gone,
did you know that the minimum wage has been relatively static since the 1950s? The U.S. Department of Labor reports wage statistics annually, and the minimum wage peaked in the late 1960s, dropped right back down, and sat comfortably at just under $5 until last year, when it finally broke that ceiling. Ever heard of inflation? Yeah, it hasn't been compensated for.
When demand outstrips supply is when companies have to hire up. When businesses cannot physically keep up with the products or services that their customers want is the only realistic and consistent scenario when more workers are hired. Why are droves of seasonal employees swooped up during the holidays? Because someone needs to suit up as Old Saint Nick and entertain some preschoolers. Back when I was a disciple of Santa I always thought it odd that he hovered somewhere between 300 and
400 pounds depending on the mall we were at, though I usually chalked it up to the Atkins Diet.
We'll hear dozens of testimonies from helmet-haired, high-power types in the coming weeks. As this issue evolves, statistics will be thrown around and someone somewhere will get mad about taxes. But through it all think about this: do you really think Walmart, McDonald's, and Apple give two farts about their employees? Are the politicians they've glued securely under their thumb arguing for the well-being of the middle class or quarterly profits? Would the Atkins Diet really do all that much for Santa anyway?

Tips on how to be a 'tabler' on Wescoe Beach
While navigating the snowy tundra that is campus this week, it's
While navigating the snowy tundra that is campus this week, it's hard to recall what Wescoe Beach looked like during the warmer months. Girls tanning their legs in the sun, the hot dog man selling his $2 dogs, and everyone trying to decide if the renovation that took all summer is actually uglier than before.
But there's another, darker side to Wescoe Beach on a sunny day, and that is the tablers, the absolute lowest on the sidewalk totem pole. These are the people who have been exploited by their organizations into pestering you for your signature, your cash, or your attendance at an event.
When I pass these poor souls, it usually elicits one of two reactions:
(1) Uh oh, it's that [insert any student organization] person again. Do I risk life and limb trying to cross the street? Do I put in headphones? Do I fake a phone call, the most degrading form of avoidance?
(2) Simple pity.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
This may seem harsh, especially since I have been a tabler before and understand their unique, public plight. But within my organizations, I will do anything to avoid that dreaded job. Take out all the trash after an event? Yes. Sit in the dunk tank at a fundraiser? Fine. Work childcare at a fundraiser? Sign me up (those who know me and my ineptitude with children will understand how serious this is).
Why am I willing to do all the terrible jobs instead of just sitting at a table on Wescoe or in the Union? Because real, effective tabling is hard, and frankly, I'm not very good at it. Luckily, I have plenty of advice for those of you who find yourselves getting a "Tabling tomorrow" email on a Sunday night. This comes from both personal screw-ups and from my great vantage point at the KU Info desk at the Kansas Union.
1. BE AN EXTROVERT
If you you're not good at approaching people you don't know with information they don't want to hear, then forget about it. Introverts are the worst kind of tablers. No offense to us, introverts. We're good at other things. Simply sitting at a table with some form of flyer in front of you is just a waste of your time.
2. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SIGNAGE
Have you ever passed a table with no readily visible identification, and been like, "why would I stop there?" Either that or a sign with tiny, unreadable print or some arbitrary slogan like "Join the team!" If you can't draw people in a 0.2-second glance, you've already lost.
3. FREE STUFF
This is really the cardinal rule of tabling. If you don't have some kind of dollar store candy or giant pen or poorly designed T-shirt to peddle, you're fighting an uphill battle. If @freefoodatku Twitter account tells us anything, it's that the best way to get students to show up is to hand them a goodie bag at the door. The cheaper, the better.
4. (OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED) BE ATTRACTIVE
Self-explanatory. Maybe run a brush through your hair today?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By late Sunday, the Internet became familiar with Seth MacFarlane's tasteless Oscar jokes, running on tasteless themes of objectification, sexual harassment in the workplace, and anti-Semitism.
Although the jokes concerned adults, MacFarlane had no problem including children in his sketches. Throughout the night, MacFarlane picked on 9-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis, the youngest Oscar nominee in history, routinely using her unique name as a source of laughter. He openly stated that she would be too old as a romantic partner for George Clooney once she came of age, and suggesting that she may be just a little too sassy for her age.
Just as the evening could not become even cruder, the Onion, a satirical newspaper source, called Ms. Wallis a "c***" on Twitter. A controversy is boiling throughout the Internet, with much outrage toward the Onion, but also from supporters who believe that a joke is a joke and any outrage is due to "overt political correctness."
In our imaginary post-
racial society, it is a faux pas to
acknowledge historical context
because of its perceived divisiveness, but it is always necessary, especially for this reason: black children in this country have not been afforded the same rights of "innocence" guaranteed to others. In fact, black girls and women are routinely cast as uptight, angry, promiscuous, and unfeminine. This language has even contributed to sexual violence: in a country where black men have perished under vigilantism from accusations of raping white women, no whites were ever persecuted for sexual assault against black girls or women, because they were "too slutty to be raped."
After Newtown, we demanded that the innocence of children be protected. Yet in a society where innocence is valued in some children and not others, we must ask ourselves why we let that inequality fester among our youth.

Yonder Mountain String Band has created their own genre that raises traditional bluegrass to a whole new level - neo grass.

Yonder Mountain String Band to play Liberty Hall
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
Yonder Mountain String Band will play at Liberty Hall tomorrow night. The set will showcase songs from the band's latest album, "The Show," as well as feature new material on their next studio album, which is due out sometime this year.
This Colorado quartet can be considered a bluegrass band, but they definitely have roots in rock as well. As a result, they have come up with what they call neo-bluegrass. According to the band's bio, "Yonder has always played music by its own design. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences, they've come to pioneer a sound that they alone could only champion."
The quartet consists of Adam Aijala (guitar, vocals), Jeff Austin (mandolin, vocals), Dave Johnston
(banjo, vocals) and Ben Kaufmann
(bass, vocals).
Their bio continues to explain what exactly sets this band apart from others, saying that although they have a traditional lineup of instruments and may appear to be a traditional bluegrass band at first glance, they have truly transcended genre.
The group just hit their 14th year together, and still continues to sell out top venues on their tour across the country.
Scottie Blomberg, a freshman from Chicago, is excited that Lawrence is included in the tour. "I'm excited that YMSB is coming to Lawrence because they're a straight bluegrass band that plays like a jam band from the 70s. They're probably one of the best bluegrass bands around and can play the hell out of Grateful Dead songs," he said.
MUSIC
Fans like Blomberg are exactly who the band looks to draw in. "The Yonder Mountain boys have found a formula that works: take rootsy bluegrass influences, add in some rock 'n' roll, and seek out an adventurous audience," said Paste Magazine.
Aside from working toward the release of their new album, the band has kept busy performing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, playing shows with Dave Matthews, and most recently selling out the 9,000-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater. Lucky enough, they found the time to stop by Lawrence.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25.

Rapper J. Cole excites fans with five-track EP release
Over the past few years J. Cole has made a name for himself as one of hip-hop's most promising young artists.
Currently Cole is preparing his follow up to his 2011 debut album "Cole World: The Sideline Story." In an effort to hold over excited fans, he released a free five-track EP, "Truly Yours."
Does this freebie stack up to his previous releases?
All five tracks have a smooth, jazz-type sound which perfectly fits Cole's lyrics. The production on this EP is
reminiscent of Cole's earlier work, such as his 2009 mixtape "The Warm Up." Fans of that will be pleased.
Similar to the College Dropout era Kanye, J. Cole's relatable lyrics are the force behind his popularity. Most of what makes J. Cole so popular are his relatable lyrics.
On the EP Cole touches a multitude of topics such as family issues, drug abuse and struggling to make it in the entertainment industry. Throughout the EP Cole proves time and time again that he is a vriest.
Hands down the best track on the EP is "Tears for ODB," where Cole paints a bleak picture of reality about drug abuse. The title of the track is
also a nod to deceased member of the Wu-Tang Clan ODB, who tragically died from a drug overdose in 2004.
Another standout track is "Stay" which happens to be a previously unreleased track from 2009. It features both great production and two solid verses from Cole.
"Yours Truly" proves to be a solid release. If J. Cole's upcoming record, "Born Sinner," resembles this effort in any way, fans have something to look forward to.

FACT
ACT OF THE DAY
When an offensive player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.

THE MORNING BREW Finest snow games in sports history
W
Whether you were burdened or blessed by winter storms "Q" and "Rocky," the elements reminded us of just how Mother Nature can control our lives. Even in sports, there's snow doubt climate has laid claim to some significant moments. No more awful puns—here are some of the biggest snow games in sports history.

THE ICE BOWL
The 1967 NFL Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys has gone down in legend as one of the most classic games in football history. The game was played at a bone-chilling minus-15 degrees with a wind chill of minus-48 degrees, a current NFL record. The elements were only magnetized by the rivalry between the teams and Hall of Fame coaches Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi.
After 55 minutes of play, the Packers trailed 14-17 and the wind chill had risen to a reported minus-70 degrees. Future Hall of Fame quarterback Bart
Starr drove the Packers down the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with just moments left to win the NFL Championship.
In a 2001 American Football Conference Divisional game, the matchup pitted the Oakland Raiders against the New England Patriots in a snowy mess. With the Patriots down 10-13 in the fourth quarter and less than two minutes to play, quarterback Tom Brady
THE TUCK RULE GAME
dropped back looking to push his team into field goal range.
An Oakland pass rusher hit Brady as he was "tucking the ball" and another Oakland player fell on the ball, resulting in a fumble recovery call on the field. However, under a rule implemented in 1999 – NFL Rule 3, Section 22, Article 2, Note 2 – the play was reversed and called an incomplete pass. With a new life, Brady and the Patriots advanced the ball into range for kicker Adam Vinatieri. Vinatieri drove the kick through in what some call the greatest goal field of all time and the Patriots forced overtime, where they would go on to win and eventually become Super Bowl Champions.
THE WINTER CLASSICS
KU
It makes sense to play an outdoor sport inside, but taking an indoor sport to the outdoors is a whole different story. The Winter Classic is an annual National Hockey League game played in outdoor stadiums. The inaugural Winter Classic was played in Ralph Wilson Stadium (home of the Buffalo Bills) in front of a crowd of more than 71,000 people. Each year, the event is a huge ratings success and great publicity event for the NHL.
In both the 2008 and 2011 Winter Classics, gameplay had to be altered because of weather conditions. Teams were required to switch direction during the halfway points of the third period and overtime period. The change was made so each team would have equal time playing with weather conditions from each direction.

CRIME
Pistorius violates gun handling regulations
JOHANKSBURG — Even if Oscar Pistorius is acquitted of murder, firearms and legal experts in South Africa believe that, by his own account, the star athlete violated basic gun-handling regulations and exposed himself to a homicide charge by shooting into a
closed door without knowing who was behind it.
Particularly jarring for firearms instructors and legal experts is that Pistorius testified that he shot at a closed toilet door, fearing but not knowing for certain that a nighttime intruder was on the other side. Instead of an intruder, Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was in the toilet
cubicle. Struck by three of four shots that Pistorius fired from a 9 mm pistol, she died within minutes. Prosecutors charged Pistorius with premeditated murder, saying the shooting followed an argument between the two. Pistorius said it was an accident.
South Africa has stringent laws regulating the use of lethal force for self-protection. In order to get a permit
Pistorius took such a competency test for his 9 mm pistol and passed it,
to own a firearm, applicants must not only know those rules but must demonstrate proficiency with the weapon and knowledge of its safe handling, making it far tougher to legally own a gun in South Africa than any other countries where a mere background check suffices.
according to the South African Police Service's National Firearms Center. Pistorius' license for the 9 mm pistol was issued in September 2010. The Olympic athlete and Paralympic medalist should have known that firing blindly, instead of at a clearly identified target, violates basic gun-handling rules, firearms and legal experts said.
"You can't shoot through a closed
door," said Andre Pretorius, president of the Professional Firearm Trainers Council, a regulatory body for South African firearms instructors."People who own guns and have been through the training, they know that shooting through a door is not going to go through South African law as an accident."

Senior forward Kevin Young celebrates after dunking during the second half of the match against Kansas State Feb. 11, 2013 at Allen Fieldhouse. Young scored 13 total points with nine rebounds for the match, contributing to Kansas' 83-62 win over the Wildcats.
At San Bernardino he passed the 31 units in spring 2011 to regain his Division 1 eligibility. He also never played for San Bernardino just the same as Barstow.
After talking with Townsend for a few minutes, Young walked back into his grandparents' house to tell his family the news.
Following his graduation from San Bernardino in 2011, Young prepared to play summer ball with the Puerto Rican national team. But, just before leaving Young received a phone call from Kansas assistant coach Kurtis Townsend.
"Right after I got off the phone I took a deep breath and walked into my grandmother's house and I was like 'Mom, dad can you come outside real quick? We need to talk about something.' Young said.
"The first thing my mom said was, 'I can't go to all those games. That's too far. I can't go out there.'"
Following the call from Townsend he renounced his commitment to San Diego State. Although it was a tough decision, Young realized he could not pass up the opportunity.
"The way I looked at it was if any coach got offered here or offered to North Carolina or Duke they wouldn't care about the players coming in," Young said. "They would take that opportunity to better themselves and better their lives. I thought Kansas was the opportunity that I could to make a better life for myself."
In his first visit, Townsend picked up Young from the airport and immediately took him to the open
gymns that Kansas has during the off-season. Townsend had spotted Young through a few coaching friends at Loyola Marymount. After seeing him play against Gonzaga, Townsend knew Young could be a guie guy for the lavahawks.
"He's really athletic. A kind of a
"I don't like him to carry the burden of us. I'm the parent. I should be doing that. It gets to him pretty well. He always wants to take that role."
That energy started early when Townsend dropped him off at the open gym the first time he saw the Fieldhouse.
high energy guy," Townsend said.
"He was a little thin so I didn't know if he would be able to convert into a four here. I didn't think he would start, but we thought he could be a guy that come off the bench."
"I just ran," Young said. "I didn't try to do anything special. It was fun and right there I knew I could fit in. After that there was no problem fitted in."
He signed shortly after that and one of the first things Young had to do was learn the offense. But he did not learn it from the coaches. It was from former players Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor.
"I think that's pretty unique," Young said. "You really don't see leaders like that. It just shows how much they love the game and how
much they dedicated to this team.
I know everyone thinks about how much they scored or how many big plays they made, but this is before we stepped on the court in our jerseys. They're sitting here running the plays and stuff"
Young has now become a leader with fellow senior Jeff Withey who have turned into a steady crew in the front court. In their spare time the two also like to challenge freshman Perry Ellis and other teammates in some Call of Duty.

Since that moment Young has slowly moved up the ladder at Kansas. And although he makes a lot of importantplays, he can also

make a few decisions that cause his head coach to scratch his head.
"He can make plays you can't coach and then makes plays like he's never been coached," Bill Self said after the game Saturday. "He makes the easiest plays hard and makes the hardest plays look easy."
Young acknowledges this quality. He knows he over-exerts himself to some degree, but he continues to learn from it. Most of it is due to hard work, dedication to his craft and enjoying the moment he's in right now.
With his parents separated, Young takes the responsibility of being a father figure at some points with his brother, but that's not always the case.
"I don't like him to carry the burden of us." Morales said. "I'm the parent. I should be doing that. It gets to him pretty well. He always wants to take that role."
Still Young knows he needs to set a good example for his brother to follow so that he can succeed in the same way Young has..
"I think I kind of have to be stern with him because my dad isn't around right now." Young said. "I think I have to fill his shoes and I expect him to do just as good as I did in school and when he does play basketball or baseball or whatever sport he chooses. I just got to let him know that he has to give him 110 percent every time he does something and at the same time stay focused and he's able to accomplish it."
Now, Young moves into the home stretch run of his college career. He's bounced around from school to school, had a variety of coaches, but now he has a stable situation and is in the starting rotation for one of the top teams in the country.
"It means a lot to him," Morales said. "This is what he's been yearning for. This is what he loves. He loves the stage here. He loves the teammates. This is what he always wanted."
Moments with your brother are special.
A picture in the tunnel after the game with their mother, a few signed autographs or his face gleaning on the Smile Cam during a timeout. This is what the Kansas fans will remember about Kevin Young.
The memories for brothers are the small ones. Like a salute during a game with a tap of the fro.
"It meant a lot to me to let him know he is always on my mind." Young said. "One day hopefully if he continues to do well in school he can be in my shoes right now."

Swimming and diving team has high expectations for Big 12 championship
The build up to the 2013 Big 12 swimming and diving championship has grown all season. The championship will be held Wednesday, Feb. 27 to Saturday, March 2.
sliang@kansan.com
STELLA LIANG
The Jayhawks look to finish in second place or better, which would be the best result for the team since the creation of the Big 12.
"It is a reasonable goal," Kansas head coach Clark Campbell said in a Kansas Athletics news release. "The flip side is that West Virginia, Kansas, Iowa State and TCU are all very comparable teams, so it's going to be a battle from the get go. I do think it is reasonable and it is something that we have talked about, but we have a formidable challenge ahead of us. What we have to do is go in there and have each individual reach their goal for the year and if we do that, we will do okay."
The five schools in the Big 12 with women's swimming and diving teams are Kansas, Iowa State, Texas, TCU and West Virginia. In the history of the Big 12 Championship, only three
Iowa State enters the championship with a 4-5 dual meet record and a loss against Kansas in its last meet. Texas enters with a 5-3 dual meet record. The Longhorns are coming off wins against SMU and Arizona in a double dual. TCU is 4-3, including a loss to Kansas in November. West Virginia is 3-4 in dual meets. The Mountaineers are led by Rachael Burnett. In her last meet against Ohio, Burnett finished first in the 1,650-yard freestyle, the 100-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle. Burnett set a pool record in the 1,650-yard freestyle with a time of 16:59.32.

"We have been tapering and getting ready for the Big 12 Championships," Campbell said. "We have been gradually cutting back the yardage and the intensity leading up to the
The team is senior-laden, led by reigning Big 12 Swimmer of the Week and captain Brooke Brull. She became the first Kansas winner of the award since Iulia Kuzhil won Jan. 12, 2011 by setting season-best times in 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard IM. She also was a member of the 400-yard freestyle relay which also set a season best time against Iowa State.
"It is going to be nice having eight seniors," Campbell said. "We will be traveling with a travel squad of 24 athletes and when you have a third of them as seniors, you have a lot of leadership potential. We are going to be leaning on our seniors quite a bit, not only for them to perform at a high level, but to help their teammates along and get everyone going in the right direction."
The Big 12 Championship starts Wednesday at the Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas.

When the Kansas Jayhawks came back from 18 points to defeat the Iowa State Cyclones on Jan. 30, it had appeared they had found their mojo and were going on the right track through B12 play.
Over a month later, the lajayhaws stumbled off the right track and are in a whirlwind spiral despite a couple big victories between that Iowa State game and the Iowa State game they will play tonight in Ames, Iowa.
Since that game, the jayhaws went 2-3 and have lost their last two games to fall to the bottom tier of the big 12 stands. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the fall is frustrating, but the team has to figure out how to get out themselves out of their self-destruction.
"There isn't anyone who is going to get us out of it, but you can wail out in it," Henrickson said. "Be an active participant in your own rescue. Really, at the end of the day, we got ourselves into it, so we have to get ourselves out of it."
One of the main issues with the lajayhaws performance over the past month, has been their slow starts. Over their last five games, the lajayhaws averaged just over 29 points in the first half on 40.1 percent shooting.
Senior guard Monica Engelman, who is coming into the game with three straight games of 15 or more points, said she doesn't know why the team struggles to come out of games, but it's something they have to solve.
"It's the mentality you have to come into the game," Engelman
The Jayhawks have been outscored in the first half in four of their last five games, which caused the Jayhawks to try and make an improbable comeback in just about every second half. Henrickson said the way the Jayhawks start games is an effort issue.

ing into the locker room instead of their opponents.
Christofferson presents a problem because of the way she stretches the floor as an over-sized small forward. She has been shooting the lights out of the building, averaging 17.8 points while shooting 57.6 percent during her last 12 games. In her last four games, she has scored 25 or more in three of those contests.
The Cyclones (19-6, 10-5) find themselves second in the Big 12 standings. Iowa State is led by All-American candidates senior forward Chelsea Poppens and junior forward Hallie Christofferson.
"Effort is not complicated. It's something we have not brought."
BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas women's basketball coach
"Effort is not complicated," Henrickson said. "It's something we have not brought. We have it. It might be more frustrating if we didn't have it. We choose not to start with it and be intentional about accepting it. Not owning it. You have to own your own energy. You have to own it individually then own it as a group and we have not done it."
The effort and energy has been there in the second half. In their last five games, the Jayhawks shot 45 percent, averaging almost 44 points and holding their opponents to just 40 percent shooting in the second half of the game.
Henrickson said the jaywhaks have to find a way to bring the same energy in the first half that they do after the intermission and allow themselves to feel confident head-
Kansas senior forward Carolyn Davis said Christofferson is the "head of the monster" that has to be cut off in order for the Jayhawks to have success.
Poppens on the other hand, is a force on the glass and from the floor. She's averaging 12.7 points and 9.3 rebounds and has scored in double-digits in eight straight games.
The notorious slow starts for the Jayhawks has been the story for much of the Big 12 season and Henrickson's message is simple: be an active participant in your own rescue.
"We dug ourselves a hole and we have to be the one to dig ourselves out," Henrickson said. "We have to accept responsibility for whatever you have to do individually. We can't get better as a team if individuals aren't getting better. And it's everyone. There isn't a single person in our locker room, staff included, that is doing enough."

COMMENTARY A team can't win without stepping on a few toes
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
No coach in America likes his team to be "nice."
They may not admit it, but there's no way a successful college basketball coach thinks to himself, "Gee, I wish we could have a nice group of guys."
This Kansas team, for the most part, is naturally a group of nice guys. It just so happens that they appear to be a kind team. That's not to say there aren't outliers, but in general, lahvayhs are a nice group.
A group that hasn't been playing nice lately.
Behind the heightened focus and energy Kansas has found in its last three games is a level of meanness that has turned the smooth edges of this team into a rigid bunch.
The Jayhawks developed into a mean team.
On Monday evening against Iowa State, after a career-best 37 points and the game sealed, Johnson wasn't finished. Not yet.
With 2.5 seconds left, Johnson capped off a wide-open, meaningless one-handed dunk. He followed it by chest bumping his teammate, Travis Releford, while, you know, there was still 2.5 seconds on the clock.
No, it's not the classiest move, but after Johnson's sluggish senior stretch, the man should be allowed to celebrate. To punctuate. He took the pen and wrote the last note of his symphony.
Good for Johnson to apologize like he did. And good for Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, who had every right to be upset.
Somehow and someway, Bill Self had his Patches O'Houlihan moment, the coach from "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," that pleaded for his team to get mean and angry. While I highly doubt Self resorted to O'Houlihan's slightly unethical methods, I don't doubt he found a way to get the message across to his team.
O'Houlihan threw wrenches at his players. Self had practice, and a choice for his team to make.
It was either falter or fight.
Sink or succeed. Wimper or win.
In all instances, the Jayhawks have picked the latter.
On the road against Oklahoma State, the most important game of Kansas' season (at that time), Kevin Young leaned into Marcus Smart. It wasn't anything blatantly flagrant or outlandish, it was a bump that sent Smart to the floor and a memo to both teams — the Jayhawks weren't going down without a fight.
Those days are done.
The three game losing streak allowed the Jayhawks' ears and eyes to be opened, and they got the message.
You don't win nine consecutive Big 12 titles without being a bully.

will remember long after the cameras stop flashing and the lights go out in the Fieldhouse.
For Kevin Young, having his younger brother and mother, Alicia Morales, in Lawrence during his final semester playing college basketball means the world to him.
Although Young's father, Kevin Young, Sr., is not a part of his daily life, he helped him get started in basketball. One of Young's first great memories is hopping a fence at the age of 4 with his father.
"It gets a lot of stress of my hands and I don't have to worry about them too much," Young said. "I get to see them and I'm really close to my mother and my brother."
Hopping that fence was the first of many hurdles in a career that has seen him become the starting power forward at the University of Kansas.
"It's just an obstacle that's there," Young said. "Not knowing if you're going to be able to make it over or not. The next thing you know, over the fence and into the gym."
Spending time in the gym early on led Young to a promising career. It allowed him to make his first dunk in the eighth grade.
He transitioned to the Perris High School basketball team, quickly snagging a spot on the varsity bench as a freshman.
"My dad called me on a Saturday," Young said. "Hey get up I to pick you up." And I was like what are you talking about? Freshman don't practice right now. And he was like 'nah,' they moved you up to varisity.
"My dad actually went through the boxes of jerseys and picked up the number 40," he said.
Right before the practice, his dad even found the number Young wears to this day.
Young excelled the rest of his high school career and even received an invitation to the Reebok All-American camp, where he went toe-to-toe with former Baylor forward Quincy Acy.
"I think he got the MVP in the all-star game because he dunked everything," Young said. "He was a monster down there blocking shots."
After that it did not take long for Bill Bayon, then coach at Loyola Marymount, to offer Young a scholarship.
At first Young hesitated to sign
he knew little about, but once he walked onto campus he realized the type of history the Lions held, especially in developing fast pace basketball.
Young idolized Hank Gathers in particular. Ir
But it wasn't just Gathers' play on the court that impressed
"My freshman year I actually wore the wristbands on my forearms for Hank Gathers," Young said. "I think it meant a lot to me to go out there and play basketball knowing something he wanted to do for his whole life."
the 1988-89 season, Gathers became the second player in NCAA Division 1 history to lead the nation in scoring and rebounding in the same season. He tragically collapsed on the court and died on March 4, 1990 on the basketball court. Autopsy later revealed he had the heart-muscle disorder hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
He was also featured in the recent ESPN 30 for 30 "Guru of Go."
Gathers' sense of style on the court also appealed to Young.
Young; it was his interaction with the community around it.
"They would take that opportunity to better themselves and better their lives. I thought Kansas was the opportunity that I could to make a better life for myself."
"I sat there and watched all kinds of film even before the '30 for 30. I remember watching one game and at halftime I thought it was just going to fast forward to the next half and all of the sudden it's his halftime show and it says 'Welcome to Hank's halftime show'"
KEVIN YOUNG Senior forward
"I thought it was pretty unique that a player, because his major was communications, that the
actual player was the actual halftime show" Young said. "He interviewed other players from the conference. He interviewed coaches and refs."
Due to some struggles in the classroom Young enrolled at Barstow Community College, about an hour away from his home.
attest, Young cares about people the same way Gathers showed on screen.
Young does not have interest in doing the same anytime soon, but as his former teammate LaRon Armstead can
"Kevin has a really good heart"
Armsteed said. "He cares about people. I was instantly drawn to that. He was just fun and cool to be around. He loved hanging around people."
At that time he was lined up to go to Fresno State after improving his grades, but he ended up not going to play for the Bulldogs in
Though Young enjoyed his time with the Lions, which included a 3-28 season and a coaching change, he wanted to find a better fit for himself.

Tempers flare amid Kansas victory in Ames
Elijah Johnson, who scored 39 points in the victory, played a large role in tiing the game. Yet things began to spiral out of control for the ISU faithful as the Jayhawks' senior point guard seemingly found his groove.
There were plenty of reasons to be upset with the Jayhawks. Despite knocking down 17 3-pointers — three more than the Cyclones made in Lawrence — Iowa State still found itself tied with Kansas after 40 minutes of play.
SEE YOUNG PAGE 7
After an emphatic, albeit unnecessary, dunk and celebration from Johnson with 2.5 seconds remaining, the Cyclones' fans had seen enough.
As the Jayhawks left the floor, they were reportedly pelleted with plastic megaphones and cups. That wasn't enough for one Iowa State supporter.

There were false reports of the fan attempting to hit Self, but the officer intervened before the fan had a chance to get physical.
After the incident Self spoke with Gary Bedore of the Lawrence-Journal World.
"I have no problem with what went on after the game," said Self told Bedore. Self also said he wasn't aware of fans throwing objects at his team as it left the floor.

Smokers, non-smokers raise a stink about smoking perimeter
MARSHALL SGHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
The 20-foot no-smoking perimeter around campus buildings frustrates University smokers and non-smokers alike. While smokers admit violating the rule, they point to a lack of both enforcement of University policy and places to smoke outside the perimeter.
"There are simply no places to stand 20 feet from any part of a building on campus," said Alex Roschitz, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., as he smoked outside the entrance of Anschutz Library. "I would have to stand on Naismith Drive to be outside the perimeter."
While Roschitz understands non-smokers' concerns, he said ashtrays are all located much closer to campus buildings than 20 feet, making observing the perimeter even more difficult.
"If the University could stick up a perimeter marker around buildings, we could know where to stand," said Adam Keller, a freshman smoker from
Lawrence. "For winter time, I stay closer to buildings to stay warm."
Keller said he has seen the municipal smoking perimeter—10 feet from buildings-enforced at bars but never at the University.
University policy allows complaints about perimeter violations to be reported to either campus police or University Human Resources, said Captain Shuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
"Once the violator was found and identified by the complainant, they could be issued a citation or a report written and forwarded to the city prosecutor," Bailey said. "We haven't received any complaints or issued any citations for this offense within the last year."
Ola Faucher, Director of Human Resources at the University, said her office receives between one and three complaints about perimeter violations each year. In most cases, the identity of the violators is unknown, she said.
"Sometimes, people are unwilling to provide the identity of the smoker violators," Faucher said. "In these cases, HR sends a reminder about the University smoking policy to the appropriate administrators in the building where the violation occurred, requesting its distribution to all faculty, staff, student employees, and major students."
So far, the most severe punishment for violations has been a warning, Faucher said.
Jimmy Manderscheid, a senior from Shawnee, said he can understand non-smokers being upset, but as a smoker, he does not think violation of the perimeter is a serious problem.
"We're not blowing smoke inside the buildings," Manderscheid said. "And I've never seen anyone actively blow smoke in anybody's face."
But that doesn't stop the wind from wafting smoke in the direction of non-smokers, said Kaitlynn Howell, a senior from Wichita.
"It's their choice to smoke, but it's not our choice to be around
it." Howell said.
Chau Palmer, a senior non-smoker from Hutchinson, said smoke often blows into the cafeteria of the Art and Design building from the outside smoking area.
“It's hard to enjoy eating when you're constantly smelling smoke,” Palmer said. “If you're getting heat outside from the building, the building's inside is getting your smoke.”
Palmer said the University should enforce the perimeter at building entrances where there is a lot of traffic, such as to The Underground.
George Li, a senior nonsmoker from Overland Park, said the perimeter is a social etiquette issue. While Li admitted the 20-foot perimeter is hard to conceptualize, he said second-hand smoke does affect friends of his who have asthma.
"You wouldn't pull out your cell phone in the library and start talking loudly." Li said. "just be aware of your surroundings."

LGBT community modifies name to be more inclusive
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
The gay rights movement has added a few more letters onto its initialism: LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual. The new initialism allows the sexuality and gender identity-based community to include individuals who may not conventionally identify themselves as a man or woman.
Liam Lair, a graduate student in women, gender and sexuality studies, identifies himself as a queer feminist. Lair teaches a course which covers gender non-conformity, inter-sex politics and politics and race.
"The expansion of the initialism is great because it gives people pause when they hear the acronym," Lair said. "It makes people think about what else needs to be included in the conversation. The problem is that the B and the T are sort of name-only."
"My story isn't the one about being trapped in the wrong body," Lair said. "I've worked really hard
As a trans-identified person, Lair has two coming out stories. As a 21-year-old undergraduate in Texas, he came out as a lesbian but never felt like a feminine woman. His acceptance of himself as a transsexual man came gradually as he took testosterone hormones after having top surgery and legally changing his name.
to be positive about my body. In the culture we live in, it's really hard for women to reconcile their bodies with how we're taught to understand them."
Lair said the discrimination transpeople face because of their sexual orientation or gender identity affects not just them but everyone.
"The expectations of what it is
to be a feminine woman, what are the expectations to be a masculine man — the issues of gender identity transcend just folks who are trans-identified," Lair said.
imbalances between groups of people.
"It is very

important that non-binary genders are starting to be recognized under the queer umbrella," said junior Emma Halling. "Looking at queer issues as only being male or female leaves out a lot of people and if those people are excluded from the queer umbrella, they're not going to find anywhere where they can fight for their rights."
Halling, an American Studies and women and gender sexuality studies double major from Elkhart, Ind., sees parallels between feminism and the plight of people who are not cisgendered. Cisgender means that you identify with the sex you are born with. Both, she said, address eliminating power
make sure that in those conversations, people who identify as trans are included and aren't left out in legislation like has been done before."
In 2002, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that
"It speaks to the level of misunderstanding and ignorance of our government," Lair said. "It's a discounting of the alternative families we've all created. I also think it speaks to the larger issues of how many relationships we don't acknowledge."
J'Noel Gardiner's, a transsexual woman, marriage was invalid and she therefore would not inherit her deceased husband's estate. Transsexuals have been barred from marriage in the past because judges were unable to classify them as either male or female.
In states that do permit legally changing sex on driver's licenses or birth certificates, requirements
range from a letter from a doctor stating that the individual is taking hormones, and should therefore be considered a man or a woman, to bottom surgery.
"Most states are just now catching on to the fact that we exist and that they might need to have some policies in place for changing a gender marker on a state ID," Lair said.
Issues brought up by gender identity expand from marriage to everyday solutions like nongendered bathrooms. Lawrence is the only city in Kansas where gender identity is covered in employees' anti-discrimination policies. On-campus, Queens and Allies and the LGBT Resource Center have made a concerted effort to make gender identity and gender non-conformity a part of their mission and outreach.
Exposure and education, however, is the first step to gaining awareness and learning how to navigate and address gender nonconformity. Heterosexual people should recognize their privilege as heterosexual and examine how gender expectation structure everyone, Lair said.
"If people recognized not only their friends and family who are queer or trans-identified, but how these oppressive systems affect all of us, there's a personal investment and people would get more involved," Lair said.

STATE
Kansas faces potential budget cuts in March
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback assured Kansas residents Wednesday that core government services would remain fully funded, even if automatic federal spending cuts take effect that could force spring furloughs for some 6,650 civilian employees at the state's military bases.
Brownback said agencies are assessing how much money may be at stake in $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts that could be authorized to occur Friday barring a deal. The cuts would not go into effect until March 27, when the current continuing resolution on federal spending expires.
"State agencies have begun examining the potential impact sequestration at the federal level will have on Kansas if it goes into effect," the governor said.
The White House issued a fact sheet on each state, estimating the cuts in federal spending in Kansas at more than $130 million, including grant payments for job training, public health, law enforcement, environmental protection and child care.
The biggest and most immediate impact would be on military operations in Kansas and the potential for furloughs of some 6,650 civilian employees starting in April. Military spending accounts for about 1 percent of the gross state product, or $7.5 billion annually, said John Armbrust, executive director of the Governor's Military Council.
The Army has said civilian employees would be told to take one day off a week for 22 weeks to absorb the budget cuts. Formal notifications are next expected for several weeks.
Salaries of military employees, both direct and indirect, total $5.5 billion, which includes soldiers and contractors, Armbrust said. Civilian employee furloughs would reduce that by $40 million through the remainder of the current federal fiscal year, including an estimated $14 million at Fort Riley, the largest Army post in Kansas.
"It's tough on the individual but it rolls through the community," he said.
Additional cuts in military operations also could mean curtailing some training and travel, Armbrust said, but how the cuts would be implemented hasn't been announced.
Brig. Gen. Donald MacWillie,
senior commander of Fort Riley,
"The remainder of this school year it will have very little effect."
DALE DENNIS
Deputy commissioner of education
said the post and the 1st Infantry Division were adjusting to the "new fiscal environment" that will result in adjustments in training, workforce and future contracts.
"We're going to slow some things down at the installation and ensure that everything we do supports our readiness and commitment to our soldiers and families first and foremost," MacWillie said.
He said Fort Riley continued to meet with community leaders to discuss how the funding
cuts will impact the region and its economy.
The reductions are separate from programmed military reductions that will shrink the Army from its present 570,000 soldiers to 490,000 soldiers over the next 10 years, part of more than $487 billion in defense cuts.
The loss of funds would mean
Some potential impacts on state government include cuts in education programs, such as the federal share of special education services and Title I programs for low-income students.
Dale Dennis, deputy commissioner of education, said the two cuts would total about $10.8 million, but wouldn't be felt until after July 1.
"The remainder of this school year it will have very little effect," Dennis said. "We hope they get dennes sorted out in Congress."
He said the cuts would be felt in all 286 school districts but would be more severe in districts with high concentrations of poverty. Districts would be able to set aside some funds from the current fiscal year to offset those cuts, Dennis said.
the reduction in the number of teachers, paraprofessionals, summer school days and extended learning time for certain students if a federal solution isn't reached, Dennis said.
"We try to stay a bit behind the curve in case something like this happens." Dennis said.

For Kansas college students, new legislation could mean packing heat as well as a lunch.
@
Despite previous failed attempts in recent years, the Kansas House is expected to deliberate on multiple bills this week that could allow concealed carry permit holders to bring firearms to college campuses and other state and municipal buildings.
But after a Democratic legislator from Colorado argued against concealed weapons at a debate Friday, stating that a female college student's right to protect herself from rape should not extend to carrying *firearms, concealed carry laws are* *drawing stance criticism online*.
State Representative Joe Salazar's (D-Colo.) claims that 911 call boxes and rage whistles are ample measures, as well as criticism from his opponents, lead to the Twitter
hashtag #LiberalTips2AvoidRape,
which began trending Monday.
The hashtag's originator, whose Twitter moniker is @ SoooperMexican and has more than 21 thousand followers, wrote on his page that he created the hashtag to mock the situation as well as Salazar.
"I'm mocking the Senator who thinks a whistle is just as good a deterrent against violent crime as a gun," he wrote.
@SooperMexican, who is hardly shy about his conservatism, initially launched the hashtag by tweeting, "Yell 'racist' at your rapist... that's like the worst thing ever."
He continued to post similar, strongly-worded tweets.
"Pray to Obama extra hard, and promise to have 3 abortions in his name," he wrote.
The trending hashtag went on to draw similar tweets, most of which were politically charged and right of center.
But other Twitter users denounced the hashtag, citing its offensiveness, a sentiment echoed by Mother Jones, which called #LiberalTips2AvoidRape the "most horrible hashtag of the week thus far."
"This legislation will not keep our campus safe but may cause more danger and more tragedies."
ZACH GEORGE Government relations director
Regardless of this residual cybersquabble, the University of Kansas is siding with Salazar.
Zach George, the government relations director for KU Student Senate, said the University strongly opposes a concealed carry policy.
our campus safe but may cause more danger and more tragedies," he said.
George added that even the possibility of a fellow student attending class with a concealed weapon could create a distracting environment.
"This legislation will not keep
"If someone says there is a wasp in a huge auditorium," he said, "even if you can't see it, all attention is diverted to that wasp."
Some policymakers say the recent shift toward a more conservative Kansas legislature may boost the bill's potential and popularity. And along with a record high for Kansas concealed carry permits in January, and Kansas Students for Concealed Carry adding a new Kansas State University chapter, change may be on the horizon.
In January, the state received 3,167 concealed carry applications, nearly double the previous record, according to the Attorney General's office, bringing Kansas permits to
53,317, as of Feb. 1.
In Kansas, concealed carry holders must be 21, have no felonies and undergo a background check followed by eight hours of weapons training.
"The training consists of 'this is how your gun operates, and don't shoot yourself'" said KU Police Chief Ralph Oliver. "The assumption that that individual would act in the manner of a trained police officer to stop a [shooting] situation is naive at best."
"If you're an innocent bystander or someone trying to get away from the scene, the chances are you're going to be in peril," he said.
Oliver said trained police officers in shooting situations will only tend to hit 17 percent of the shots fired at a target.

Fraternity raises money for transgender operation
UDK
BOSTON — A college fraternity in Boston has raised more than twice the money needed to pay for gender transition surgery for a frat brother.
The Phi Alpha Tau fraternity at Emerson College began raising money for sophomore Donnie Collins early this month after his insurance company declined to cover his breast removal surgery. Their initial goal was $4,800, but donations had exceeded $17,000 by Wednesday afternoon, more than double the procedure's $8,000 price.
In a note posted this week with a thank-you video on YouTube, 20-year-old Collins says the surgery with a Springfield plastic surgeon will be scheduled this week.
The fraternity's treasurer, Christian Bergren-Aragon, says he thinks a major reason the campaign caught on is because it defies the stereotypes of fraternities.

Become the champion in your own life
A champion is someone who defeats all competition. As a society, we limit ourselves to this definition. We often focus only on the champions in sports. Joe Flacco, the Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback, was the 2012 MVP for the Super Bowl. He's a champion. LeBron James, starting small forward for the Miami Heat, was the 2012 MVP for the NBA Finals. He's a champion.
They are champions, according to the definition. They are champions by hard work and god-given talent. They come to work and put on their jersey and people remember their name and number.
I know a champion. But he doesn't wear a jersey. He doesn't wear his last name or a number on the back of his shirt. He doesn't play a professional sport, nor has he won an MVP award.

If Weafer, a man who has faced unfair adversity in human biology, can preach about life being good and face each day with a smile, then I can listen. I start to understand that my "big problems" aren't as
Worrying about getting the latest Apple product or getting upset because the person you sent a text hasn't responded after 45 minutes isn't a big deal.
big in the grand scheme of things.
I compartmentalize my insecurities and start to focus more on what mattered most to me, my family, friends and my future.
Weather's five words still resonate with me as much as they did six years ago. He gave me something that I can't ever repay. I'm eternally in debt to him. His my role model. I look up to him and appreciate his love for life and how he conquers each day. To me, that's a champion.
Every day is a championship game for Weafer. He has taken on the role of a champion, much like LeBron James and Joe Flacco. And like James and Flacco, he is an MVP — at least in my eyes.
He wakes up every morning embracing life; not complaining about what day of the week it is. He doesn't complain about what he doesn't have or what he was given.
He takes what he has (or doesn't have) and makes the best of it.
His unsullied smile every time he approaches the gym is profound. It's a smile that grabs the attention of bystanders.
Weafer also likes working out, a lot.
Why is he smiling? It's a simple question with a simple answer; he can't get enough of the gym. To him, this is another challenge. You can't go to the gym and sit there and expect to get fit. Weaver knows there is much dedication and hard work that is needed to become strong.
But he's a champion. He knows what it takes and he's ready. Nobody can tell him no. He's a fighter. He has been his entire life.
Much like Weaver's satisfaction for the gym, I find satisfaction in blogging. People ask me why I like blogging. It's a simple answer; I can't get enough of it. This is where I feel like a champion. I challenge myself everday to become a better writer.
But I do more than just challenge my writing abilities. I challenge myself to become a better person in life. A champion of life by doing what is right and living each day as if it were a championship game. Weafer taught me how to become this champion.
I think it's time we all become a champion in our lives and find out what we can't get enough of and do it. Don't let a definition, label, or disability limit you. Be an MVP in your life and make the most of each day.

Campus-wide snowball fight to end argument
We messed up, guys. We really blew it. We had a great opportunity, and we let it slip away.
blew it. We had a great opportunity, and we let it slip away.
Tuesday was the University's third snow day in less than a week, and the chance of us getting another is highly unlikely. That means our chance to finally settle the war that has been plaguing the Kansan Free For All is hopeless. We will never know if the fraternity and sorority contingent is better than the rest of us — the God Damn Independents (GDIs).
If you are an avid FFA reader (which, if you're reading the Kansan, you probably are), you've noticed that the most constant opinion in those little orange boxes on the left is either "Greek life is lame," or "GDIs need to deal with not being as cool." Well, I propose one way to officially settle this disagreement: a campus-snowball fight.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
I know. I messed up. I should have mentioned this last week, before the inevitable snow canceled class for everyone. I should have brought it up and allowed everyone the proper time to build glorious forts, make special snow balls, and mentally prepare for facial frost bite.
But I didn't. So now I leave this column as a decree for the future students to be ready for a snow day that came out of nowhere. We all know the University doesn't take snow days lightly, so those future students need to always be thinking on their feet. Don't ruin your chance to finally show that other group just how suprior your group happens to be.
Now, the biggest issue is how do we split up these campus wide snow brigades? We could split up by Greek organization students as one group and non-Greek organization students as the other.
But I've seen "Animal House," and I understand that not all fraternities get along. So maybe we should split it up so every Greek house is its own brigade.
But, then again, the GDI brigade would have a massive advantage as a larger group. So they would have to split it up, too. A common belief, as shown through the FFA, is that some Greeks think that all GDIs are hipsters, but that isn't true. GDIs can be split up pretty easily by bipsters, hippies (they are two different groups; don't mess this up), punk rockers, the art kids, engineering nerds, and good ol' fashioned scholarship hall dweebs.
Oh, don't worry. The Greek system also has the fair share of these stereotypes that they like to point out in the FFA. So they can probably find these cliques inside their
own respected houses, too. Now we're really getting somewhere.
Some of you are probably wondering, "What if I identify in more than one stereotype?" This is an issue I'm struggling with. Recently in the newsroom, I overheard someone mention they hate it when they meet a "straightedge" person (this is someone who does not partake in drinking alcohol or doing drugs), but they masquerade themselves as a hipster. Yep, this is a real problem where people can't tell which stereotype you fit into. I thought this specific instance was interesting because I – the person writing this column and has a photo of myself wearing a plaid flannel shirt as my identification for the Kansan – identify as straightedge, but I'm constantly considered a hipster.
I can't help that I like to read books at Java Break while enjoying a nice cup of coffee and listen to folk music. And I can't help that I was raised by punk rock and its scene, and that when I was 11, I looked-up to someone so much that I decided to never drink alcohol in my life, just like him.
So it's hard for me to choose a side when we split up these brigades. Should I help my straightedge brethren defend our beliefs when many have used homophobic slurs as a form of peer pressure? Or should I help my hipster comrades defend our personal choices of what we believe is a good time, but others seem to think is only used for ironic purposes?
I'm sure a lot of Greek members are
dealing with the same issue. I'm sure that not all of them only wear boat shoes and have Croakies attached to their super-cool sunglasses, or only wear Shark Surf Shop T-shirts with skin-tight leggings. No, some of them live a different stereotypical life, and that needs to be addressed when picking sides of this snowball fight to end all snowball fights.
So when such an issue arises, I think of the 1980s. What did "The Breakfast Club" teach me?
Other than learning "mess with the bull, you'll get the horns." I learned that once you become a group, the outsiders attack. The high school students in "The Breakfast Club" all came from different backgrounds but were able to become a different group to take down the group oppressing them. And that's something we need to learn now.
We may be wrestling jocks, the cute popular girl, the nerd, the weird-but-still-strangely-attractive girl, or just your regular ol' dope-smoking burnout. But in the end, we're all on the same team — college kids just trying to get by.
So maybe a campus-wide snowball fight isn't necessary. Maybe we should stop bickering like little children that didn't learn anything from classic movies.
But until then, I'm a free agent waiting to be picked up by the stereotype I can identify with. Don't you forget about me.

Designers for Target make high-end fashion affordable
The much-anticipated release of the Prabal Gurung and Target collaboration hit Target stores last week with a bang. Even in Lawrence (where the Nepalese American fashion designer isn't exactly a household name), the pieces were scarce as I excitedly searched the store for the new line.
Gurung, who's known for his structured silhouettes, has been known to dress celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Zoe Saldana and Jennifer Lawrence. His original collections can be found at department stores such as Barnes New York and Saks Fifth Avenue, ever since he launched his first collection in Fall 2009 at New York Fashion Week.
Gurung's Target collaboration line was said to be inspired by the different stages of love. The pieces include psychedelic patterns, neon colors, lace detailing and dark floral. The clothing's fabric choices were a little disappointing when it came to the sweaters, which were crafted with unflattering fits. While the styles were definitely cute, it was obvious the shortcuts that were taken when comparing the Target line to Gurung's pieces in his own collection. However, this is something to always expect when high-end designers collaborate with everyday stores. Overall, the line is definitely worth looking at, especially when it comes to the shoes.
Being the shoe addict that I am, I fully support the belief that footwear makes or breaks an outfit. With many gals still stomping
While many collaborations get heat these days, I hope they continue. How else would we poor college students get our hands on a little DVF luggage or Jason Wu slippers? It's nice to see that these hotshot designers do care about us little people, after all.
around in chunky platform heels, a shoe update is a serious need in this country. Gururg's ankle strap pump and lace-up pump look best in the apple red and black options. I snagged the black lace up booties without any hesitation. The wedge sandals and pointy-toe pumps are also must-have staples. We all know how damaged shoes can get when out and about on weekends, so these affordable, trendy shoes are perfect for us college students.

MUSIC
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence Bar Band plays penultimate tour this year
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Editor's Note: In 1995, a small group of members of the KU Pep Band formed a band that played a mix of popular songs and Kansas tunes in bars around town. As the band has evolved, it has gained cult status around Lawrence. Last Friday night, the band allowed the Kansan to tag along on one of their bar tours.
THE SANDBAR
The line to get into The Sandbar stretched out the door and around Eighth Street. It was 9:30 p.m. and the Lawrence Bar Band wouldn't arrive for another 30 minutes. Even with close to 11 inches of snow piled up and slick roads, there are still those who will come wait to see the 20-minute show.
Earlier in the week, the band announced on Twitter that this would be its second-to-last tour of the year, creating a sense of urgency among fans to spend a night out on Massachusetts Street. Damn the frigid weather for trying to discourage anyone from it.
Despite the sparse population in the bar, the bouncer at the door was on one-in-one-out detail, making sure there was enough room for the 19-piece ensemble to squeeze through the entrance and set up shop.
"They should be on the sidewalk," the bouncer muttered under his breath. "But you'd still be able to hear them."
In 15 minutes, two tubas, two baritones, three trombones, seven trumpets, two mellophones and three percussionists would gather in the parking lot around the corner on New Hampshire Street. While the band members made their way to the night's starting point, its most senior members were inside The Sandbar making their own preparations.
Logan Heer and Tyler Metzger stood near the bar, turning down drink offers from fans and tossing back shots of Fireball Whiskey.
It's not that they didn't want the extra alcohol. They just have trouble making others pay for drinks when they get them for free.
That's the compensation for playing in the Bar Band. There's no money changing hands, just free admission and all the booze your liver can take. It's all they've ever asked for.
Heer and Metzger have been playing trumpet for the band for six years now.
"I've seen some shit," Metzger said as he downed another shot and grabbed a beer.
Metzger started scanning the crowd. It had thinned out a little bit, and with three other stops to make on the night, he began thinking of a game plan.
"it's going to be a short set," he said to Heer. Heer nodded in agreement, looked at his watch and ducked out to the parking lot to rally the band as Luke Gesel walked in the door.
Gysel doesn't play any instrument, but he does drink. And as a friend of the band, he walked up to the bar, grabbed a beer and started talking to Metzer.
A few minutes pass, and Heer walked back in with a trumpet.
"We're ready to go," he said to Metzger.
"Well then, pull them in," Metzger shouted back.
On cue, Heer stuck his head out the door and gave a long, drowned out scream: "Baaaaaaaaaaaar Baaaaaaaaaaand!!!"
The house music cut as the bar erupted into cheers before anyone even entered.
One by one, the band members filed into the bar, making noise as they entered.
"Everywhere we go, people love us." Gsel said as Heer grabbed a
mic and announced that, indeed,
they were the Lawrence Bar Band
before shouting, "All Of The Lights".
Instantly, the band pulled itself together and started grooving to Kanye West. Never mind that most of the members were playing on beat-up brass and worn-down drums; it was as pristine a sound as they could hope for.
The Kanye rendition ended as the band smoothly transitioned into something more suitable for Kansas students, and the medley that the pep band plays before every basketball game was being belted out as if the band were in Allen Fieldhouse.
All the familiar songs came out to play: "The Alma Mater," "The Rock Chalk Chant," "I'm A Jayhawk" and a mix of Bon Jovi. The show ended with two of the latest additions to the set list: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis "Thrift Shop" and finally a live Harlem Shake to cap it off.
The band members admit they could play the mashup in their sleep.
Heer was the last one to leave The Sandbar, and he began walking back to the New Hampshire Street parking lot.
And with the same alacrity they entered with, the band members dash out the door.
Every time the band tours, there are a few designated drivers who take them from The Sandbar to the Kansas Student Union, where they regroup and walk down 14th street to Bullwinkle's.
PACHAMAMA'S
The band was already playing "I'm A Jayhawk" by the time Heer enterd the door, and he wasted no time joining in.
Yet the rest of the band was not heading back to the cars just yet. They ran into Pachamama's across from The Sandbar for an impromptu stop.
After playing the Alma Mater to a bar full of fans swaying back and forth, locked arm in arm, the band
made the same quick escape it did from The Sandbar.
MIKE VERNON/KANSAN

Though the bartender hailed him for a free round, Gysel didn't notice or seem to care. The band was already halfway down New Hampshire Street, still blowing their horns and drumming like mad men as they plunged into six cars to take off for the Union.
BULLWINKLE'S
As tiny as Bullwinkle's, is there was enough room for the entire ensemble to fit comfortably, which can't be said for the rest of the bar's inhabitants, who were backed up to the walls and standing on tables.
As each member entered, they were given their payments. At this location it comes in the form of Moose bowls and Lab Rats — two drink specials that have become staples of the bar.
As the tempo slowed and the horns went into "The Alma Mater," someone in the crowd poured ice cubes onto the bass drum while it rested sideways on top of a garbage can. "The Alma Mater" reached its climax, and as the drums came into play, ice started flying around, bouncing into the crowd.
Heer took over the trumpet solo during "Shout" in case the party at Bullwinkle's didn't feel enough like "Animal House." Yet he didn't make it known that he was the one playing. Instead, Gysel picked up a trumpet, stood in front of the band and pretended to be the one showing off.
Heer took his place in the middle of the pack and cut the dogs off their chains.
"1, 2... 1, 2, 'All Of The Lights," Heer chanted, and the sequence started over.
It's another short set, and Heer looked to his band, shouting for them to leave.
As far as the crowd goes, it wasn't

the worst night at the Bull, but there had been better. It is not a rare occurrence to see girls start to take their shirts off when the band gets going.
The members were walking up 14th Street playing random notes while cars were stopping to roll down their windows and cheer for them.
THE JAYHAWK CAFE
The line for the Hawk stretched out to the corner of 14th and Ohio streets. It would be the biggest crowd the band played for that night, and they knew it.
Metzger was already inside passing out cans of Bud Light as the band entered to find an impatient crowd. Girls jumped on shoulders, and fans shouted song requests, but the band hardly noticed.
Again, the crowd abused the bass drum, this time with a waterfall of beer. Right when the entire bar started to sing along to "Na-Na-Na," the drummers went wild, splashing Bud Light into a tightly packed crowd.
It all started again. First Kanye West, then the medley, "Thrift Shop," Jovi and back to "The Alma Mater." Finally, the band began one of its signature performances, a short rendition of "Hey Jude" that turns the coda into a barroom chant. The band started the song with only the horns playing. It's a sweet, soft melody that quickly builds up when the drums began to rumble.
No one seemed to mind, let alone the drummer, who would eventually foot the bill for a new drum head.
THE WHEEL
After leaving the Hawk, Heer lead the band up the stairs to The Wheel's back entrance, where there is always just enough room for the band to fit.
As Heer predicted, the band sounded like crap at this point. Still, the crowd couldn't be more excited to see them.
And as this tour wound down, there was a picturesque scene playing out.
Heer and Metzger stood back-to-back on top of a booth rocking out to "Hey Jude" on their trumpets. In front of them, Gysel was chugging a beer. Off to the side, Chris Carter was banging on his snare drum while someone from the crowd poured a Coors into his mouth.
In a few minutes, the band members would be outside The Wheel, tossing snowballs at each other and munching on slices of pizza. Soon after, they would all go their separate ways. The instruments would be tucked away, and the band would take a seven-day hiatus.
But in that moment, with "Hey Jude" rocking, the crowd singing and the band playing as hard as it could, none of that mattered. No one was worrying about future plans. It was just a group of 19 band members — and Gysel — standing on top of the town.
"We skip lines, we get drunk, we play music," Metzger said. "This is as close to being a rock star as it gets in Lawrence."

'Dark Skies' a moderately creepy close encounter
LANDON MCDONALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
"Dark Skies" is the kind of movie Sunday matinees were made for, a modestly diverting sci-fi horror hybrid whose surfeit of ambition and shrewd sense of pacing are sadly undermined by the constraints of a limited budget. Director Scott Stewart desperately wants his film to combine the fraught family dynamics of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" with the creeping culde-sac angst of "Poltergeist," yet his reach consistently exceeds his grasp when it comes to closing the deal.
Lacy (Keri Russell) discovers her family is being manipulated by otherworldly forces in writer-director Scott Stewart's "Dark Skies."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The film opens in a quiet suburban neighborhood, home to Daniel (Josh Hamilton) and Lacy
(Keri Russell), an ex-yuppie couple struggling with financial setbacks while Daniel looks for a new job after being unceremoniously laid off by his architecture firm. They're also worried about their oldest son Jesse (Dakota Goyo), who's been hanging around the neighborhood pothead (L.J. Benet) in an effort to escape his cloying younger brother Sammy (Kadan Rockett). Sammy, meanwhile, has an extremely good reason for not wanting to be left alone: The poor kid is being traumatized by nightly visits from a sinister figure he calls the Sandman.
Predictably, no one believes little Sammy until the Sandman makes his presence known through a
All this paranormal activity seems frustratingly familiar, at least until a scene where three separate flocks of birds plummet from the sky in unison, slamming through windows like avian kamikaze pilots and coating the outside of the family's home with splayed, feathery corpses. It's during this scene that "Dark Skies" first announces its intention to become more than just another run-of-the-mill shocker, a
feat it comes very close to actually accomplishing.
The rest of the film benefits from its use of body horror, as each family member gradually loses control of their faculties, lapsing into fugue states that culminate in frightening acts of self-destruction. Desperate for answers, Daniel and Lacy turn to Pollard (J.K. Simmons), the town's resident conspiracy theorist, who matter-of-fact informs them that their family has been targeted by the Greys, an interstellar race that studies humanity with all the passion of a scientist dissecting a plague rat. Simmons, one of our most invaluable character actors, plays his big scene for all it's worth,
adding a sense of self-resigned dread to the film's final act.
One of the pleasant surprises of "Dark Skies" is the fact that its actors don't seem to regard themselves as too good for the material. The result is a film that often feels less like an outright horror movie and more like a domestic drama organically interlaced with moments of genuine shock and terror. Russell, an actress who first came to my attention as the endearing pie artisan in "Waitress," brings credible maternal rage to her role as Lacy, especially during a scene where she thinks Daniel has been the one abusing their children.
"Dark Skies" marks a quantum
leap in quality for Stewart, the longtime visual effects coordinator whose only previous credits as a director were for a pair of post-apocalyptic clunkers called "Legion" and "Priest 3D." Neither of those films had even an ounce of the craft and dexterity on display here. Hopefully he'll continue to improve with his next effort, a forthcoming episode of the Syfy alien invasion series "Defiance."

ROYALTY
Queen of Amsterdam to abdicate, son to reign
AMSTERDAM — The Dutch capital is known for boozy stag nights and pot-smoking tourists. But for what could be the nation's party of the decade — the abdication of Queen Beatrix and accession to the throne of her son Willem-Alexander — Amsterdam wants to keep things low key.
Mayor Eberhard van der Laan said Wednesday he "wants a party, but at the same time sober" for the April 30 inauguration.
The day in Amsterdam will start with Beatrix signing abdication papers in the royal palace on central Dam Square. The inauguration of Willem-Alexander will then take place next door in the 15th century New Church.
"If you want to get a really good view, maybe the best place is watching on television," he said.
Van der Laan is even seeking sponsors to help pick up the estimated £7 million ($9 million) tab for the royal bash.
He's not suggesting alcohol-free festivities, but he wants to keep the cost in check as the nation tightens its belt to recover from an economic buffeting caused by the European debt crisis.
In the early evening, the new King Willem-Alexander and his Argentine-born wife Maxima will take a boat trip around the city's lj waterway.
And in an attempt to prevent the capital clogging up with visitors keen to get a glimpse of their outgoing queen and new king. Van der Laan had some advice about the best vantage point.

Festivals release lineups
McCartney and Mumford & Sons are among the headliners for the 2013 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. The four-day festival, held on a rural 700-acre farm, will be held June 13-16, 2013.

lhavens@kansan.com
There are countless festivals aside from these two, of course, but they have yet to release any information regarding their lineups.
Music festival season is right around the corner. The snow on the ground will soon be replaced with green grass, which will bring warm summer nights filled with music blaring from several stages.
Many bands that have seemed to fade away for the past few years are also making a comeback this coming summer, and they are ready to impress fans with new material. Bands like The Postal Service—who recently announced their reunion—along with Tegan and Sara, Phoenix, Local Natives and Youth Lagoon to name a few, all have recently put out a new album that they will include in their summer sets.
Some festivals have already started releasing the lineup for 2013, and many bands appear on more than one schedule. Bonnaroo and Coachella are two of the most well known festivals that have already posted their official lineups - and the rest will soon follow. A common theme seen among 2013 line-ups is the appearance of more vintage artists such as Paul McCartney, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Wu-Tang Clan.
One festival that stands in the ranks with Bonnaroo and Coachella is Lollapalooza. Hanna
Simpson, a freshman from Chicago, has attended Lollapalooza multiple times.
"Lollapalooa is a place where you can enjoy a variety of music." she said. "It's something I look forward to every summer and the best part is that it takes place in my hometown. I've heard that Bonnaroo and Coachella have great lineups for this summer though, so it would be fun to go and experience another festival other than Lolla."
This will be the 11th summer for Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, and it will be June 13-16 in Manchester, Tenn.
Coachella had a rocky beginning, starting first in 1999, then
taking the year off in 2000, before starting up again in 2001 then continuing through 2013. This festival extends over two weekends due to popular demand. Attendees can choose either the weekend of April 12-14 or 19-21 in Indio, Calif.
'21 and Over' has surprising depth for a college party film
While the experience will be undeniably worth it, festivals can be pricey, so it's best to buy tickets as soon as they are available. For festivals that involve camping like Bonnaroo and Coachella, it is definitely necessary to plan ahead.
With all the recent snow days, the thought of a warm environment encompassed in music sounds couldn't sound more appealing.

The most surprising element of "21 and Over" has noth-
I of "21 and Over" has nothing to do with all the ridiculous drunken shenanigans and misadventures of three buddies after a celebratory night of binge drinking. Instead, the real surprise in this college comedy is that it actually features meaningful character relationships and explores poignant themes of friendship. Who woulda thought?
But that's all wrapped up within a rolllicking narrative of crazy partying, so rest assured, you're still getting your money's worth here for hilarious debauchery.
What starts out as a relatively calm night out for three best friends from high school, drinking for the 21st birthday of Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) before his big medical school exam the next morning, quickly escalates and gets seriously out of hand. After Jeff passes out following hours of barhopping, Miller (Miles Teller) and Casey (Skylar Austin), in from out of town, have no idea where they are or how to get their incapacitated friend home.
So begins an arduous journey across the campus trying to locate Jeff's residence, which includes infiltrating a vindictive Latina sorority house, unleashing an angry buffalo at a pep rally and conquering eight floors of party games at a Tower of Power rager.
By Alex Lamb
alamb@kansan.com
Along the way they also get help from Casey's dream girl, Nicole (Sarah Wright), and run into the cops and other people pissed about their trail of destruction.
If that sounds like "The Hangover" in a college setting rather than Las Vegas, it's because co-writers and first-time directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore wrote that movie, too. But "21 and Over," while certainly outrageous, isn't nearly as over-the-top as the Wolf Pack's trip or last year's "Project X".
This is a good thing. The film works better on its (slightly) smaller scale, dialing back the wackiness a bit so as to build Miller, Casey and Jeff into relatable characters. Everyone has had close friends from high school whom they've grown apart from after going to different universities, while also struggling to balance academic demands and simultaneously make college "the best years of your life."
It's refreshing to see these topics implemented thoughtfully into such a wild mainstream movie. But more prominently, Lucas and Moore have a great sensibility for snappy dialogue, big comical gags (like jeff running around inebriated wearing only a woman's bra, tennis shoes and a teddy bear taped to his crotch) and the visuals of progressive party montages—which are much more organic and fluid here than in many other films.
Even though he's smashed for much of the runtime, Chon steals the spotlight with many of the funniest scenes—like eating a tampon as if it's cotton candy. Astin has a lot of charisma, especially with love interest Wright, although Teller most successfully continues his rise towards breakout status following impressive turns in "Rabbit Hole" and "Footloose." His reckless, witty energy and absurdly hysterical improvised lines really liven the narrative.
As a college student, you owe it to yourself to see a comedy about living it up on your 21st birthday. Just know there's more depth to it than that.

COMMENTARY
Kansas seniors silence critics
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Time after time this year, Bill Self has relied on his star freshman to carry the Jayhawks to a victory. But when Ben McLemore appeared to take a more passive role on Monday night, four senior players stepped up.
TOO STRONG
Edited by Megan Hinman
What makes Self's program a joy to follow is that, while a one-and-done comes along once in a while, fans get the privilege of watching players develop over the course of four (sometimes five) years.
Now, they are the backbone of a program seeking its ninth straight Big 12 title.
Combined in their first years at Kansas, these four seniors averaged 10.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Years later as seniors, they countered Hilton Magic with a combination of 84 points, 27 rebounds, and a myriad of heart and hustle.
In a close game against Iowa State, each senior provided invaluable leadership and impressive statistics. Elijah Johnson obviously had the most impressive game with 39 points and a litany of clutch shots. But Jeff Withey, Kevin Young, and Travis Releford also all made key contributions without which victory would have been improbable.
Elijah Johnson was rumored to be looking to transfer after his sophomore year. Even this year, people continually questioned his ability to lead a team. Even Self publically stated the lajhawks had no point guard. This kind of incisive criticism is enough to make a lesser man never want to get off the bench. Nevertheless, Johnson faced the critics and responded with an exceptional performance when the lights were brightest.
Kansas fans have rarely doubted McLemore. These same fans, however, have doubted all four seniors at many points during their storied Kansas careers. Each player has managed to overcome the odds and silence the critics in their own idiosyncratic way.
Jeff Withey came in as a transfer from Arizona. When he first stepped onto a Kansas court, he looked as out of place as Zach Galifianakis at a spelling bee. As a sophomore, Withey averaged 2.3 points per game. He averaged a foul every six minutes. Now, Withey averages 13.5 points per game and a foul every seventeen minutes.
Johnson's counterpart in the backcourt, Travis Releford, averaged less than three points per game his freshman year. Like Withey, he fouled too often and had trouble sticking with quicker defenders. Now, Releford is one of the top perimeter defenders in the Big 12 and has an increasingly reliable jump shot.
Kevin Young was simply expected to keep the seat warm for Perry Ellis this year, as he was a relatively fringe contributor last year. Fans questioned whether Kansas could be a threat with the Loyola Marymount transfer in the starting lineup. Instead, Young has been the Mento to Kansas' Diet Coke. When things seem a little flat, Young completes a hustle play or takes a charge and reinvigorates his teammates.

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Senior guard Elijah Johnson is welcomed back to the bench by his teammates senior center Jeff Withey and freshman guard Ben McLemore during a 74-48 victory over Texas Christian University on Saturday, Feb.23 in Allen Fieldhouse. Johnson played for 29 minutes.
FINALLY FOCUSED
Johnson is mentally prepared for the final stretch of the season
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
One of the most iconic pieces of music associated with Kansas basketball is the theme music for the film "Requiem for a Dream," which plays during Kansas basketball's pregame video.
Senior point guard Elijah Johnson heard a different sort of music Monday night against Iowa State at Hilton Coliseum. He heard a chorus of boos from the Iowa State fans, a prolonged symphony from an orchestra disgusted by Johnson's 39-point performance that helped Kansas steal
another win from the Cyclones this season.
In the final three minutes of regulation and five minutes of overtime, Johnson scored 23 of Kansas' final 31 points.
For earning a beautiful string of boos Monday night, Johnson probably will find some of his highlights from Monday night in the pregame video for Kansas' next home game. Saturday at 1 p.m., against West Virginia.
"That'll go down as one of the better games that any guard's ever played at Kansas," coach Bill Self said.
"I felt like I haven't shot the ball
as good as I can shoot, period." Johnson said. "It felt good to see it going in."
Johnson also said he believes two men helped get him right physically and mentally, so that he would be able to put himself in a position to see the ball going in the basket.
The first guy isn't surprising. It's Self, who had what both coach and player called a "locker room kind of conversation" early in Monday night's game when Self didn't like how Johnson responded to some early plays. Johnson said the conversation began because he wanted to move on from the plays, but
Self wanted to discuss them.
"I felt like that kind of sent some fire through my body," Johnson said. "My teammates saw me responding and it felt good for Trav and jeff to walk up to me and tell me no matter what, they riding with me and they playing with me whether I'm playing as bad as I can or if I'm playing like I played tonight."
The second person that helped straighten Johnson out is Bill Cowgill, Kansas' trainer. Johnson, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April 2012, spends time with Cowgill every day.
But Johnson said he appreciates
Cowgill not because of the physical work he did for Johnson's knee, but the work he did for Johnson's mental state.
"He's been treating me and getting me right, making me feel better, giving me confidence and letting me know that 'you had an injury; you don't have one now'" Johnson said. "He's been doing it ever since I've had my surgery. I think right now it's paying off because most people cater to you and baby you through that, and right now, he's just telling me, 'man up. You don't have too many games left."

No magic in the Hilton for the Jayhawks
NATE FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks came into the game Wednesday desperately needing to get grab a tough road victory in Ames, Iowa.
But even with a near triple-double from senior guard Angel Goodrich and a fourth straight game of 15 or more points for senior guard Monica Engelman and tying a season-high in 3-point buckets, it wasn't enough to overcome the No. 23 Iowa State Cyclones as they fell 83-68.
"We were good in stretches, but the bad stretches lasted too long," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Both (Angel and Monica)
The Goodrich-Engelman duo combined for 41 points on 15-of-34 shooting. Goodrich led the way with 22 and also added nine assists and seven rebounds.
played confidently, but we just didn't have enough around them tonight."
There were issues on both sides of the court for the Jayhawks, as they couldn't hit open shots in various stretches, and they couldn't slow down the powerful offensive attack by the Cyclones.
50
Only three Jayhawks were able to get 10 or more shots up, and only Goodrich and Engelman managed to score in double-figures.
Goodrich went 7-of-19
for 21 points, nine assists and seven rebounds to lead the way. Alongside her, Engelman put together a 20-point night but neither one's effort was enough.
Throughout the season, the Jayhawks have had trouble slowing teams down right out of the gate. But that wasn't the case for the Jayhawks as they started out 8-of-10 from the field.
"We really shot it and had good rhythm, and I thought we were a lot better, but we had too many stretches with not much (offense) inside and defensive lapses," Henrickson said.
But as hot as the offense was for the Jayhawks, it was equally as hot for the home team. The
Cyclones came out firing but continued to stay hot throughout most of the game as they ended up shooting over 48 percent from the field.
Coming into the game, Christofferson had been averaging nearly 16 points per game and shooting 55 percent from the field. Christofferson was able to exploit the open areas of the floor and contribute two for 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
Kansas senior forward Carolyn Davis said before practice on Monday that the key was to cut off the head of the monster of the Cyclones. That head, in her opinion, started with junior forward Hallie Christofferson.
Davis had her own problems throughout the game. Coming into the game, she was averaging 15.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. But the Cyclones held Davis to a season low of two points and no rebounds.
Unlike the duo of Engelman and Goodrich. Christofferson had a lot of help surrounding her on a more consistent basis. Four Cyclones scored in double-figures with senior forward Chelsea Poppens leading the way with 22 points.

Buss, remembered as an untouched legacy
He was an owner, a business man, a friend. Last Monday, Feb. 18, the Los Angeles Lakers and the
one Los Angeles Lakers and the sports world lost one of the greatest owners in history. The effect that Jerry Buss had on not only the Lakers, but the NBA as well, is something that may never be seen again from a sports owner.
Buss originally bought the Lakers in 1979, the same year guys like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird entered the draft. There have been reports from the past stating Buss refused to buy the team, if then coach Jerry West did not agree to select Magic Johnson with number one pick. I think we all know how well that decision turned out for the Lakers organization.
The way Buss changed the NBA during his tenure as owner is truly remarkable. With players like Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabar and James Worthy, the "Showtime Lakers" were born, they made

watching a basketball game entertainment, and not just a game — all because Buss had a vision to create an exciting atmosphere that fans could be a part of.
Words cannot describe the amount of success that Buss had as owner of the Lakers, because the numbers and statistics speak for themselves. In the 34 years Buss owned the Lakers, the team made it to NBA Finals 48.4 percent of the time,
and won 10 NBA Championships. Since he purchased the Lakers, they have the NBA's best record, winning nearly two-thirds of their regular season games. Along with producing six MVPs, Buss was more of a father-figure and friend than anything else for most of his players. As said by Johnson in a statement to the Los Angeles Times, "He had such a big heart. I have lost my second father. I have lost one of my best friends." Johnson later said that there would be no Magic without Buss.
Many people say the Lakers are the New York Yankees of basketball, and compare Buss to former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. Although the two owners do have similar aspects about how they ran their teams, there is one major difference that separates the two. When Steinbrenner bought the Yankees, they were already known as a historic franchise with a rich history. Buss purchased
KU
the Lakers as a team that did not have a lot of success. He made the Lakers what they are today, an extremely successful organization.
The legacy that Jerry Buss left behind is one that may never be touched by any other owner again. He was a true visionary, with a dream and aspiration to be great and to be the best. Jerry Buss will be missed greatly by everyone he touched. He was 80 years old.

OUTFIELD
INFIELD
Dakota Smith and Conner McKay are part of one of college baseball's youngest outfield. Tharp is the veteran of the group, being a junior and has made some plays with his glove. The pitchers have seen good numbers this season due to some good outfield play so far this year.
KU
Alex DeLeon, Jordan Dreiling and Kevin Kuntz are all returning players and serve as captains for Kansas. The experienced group of infielder and second baseman Justin Protocio have given the pitchers a lot of reasons to feel optimistic. The infielders combined have only committed three out of the seven team errors in seven games.
BATTING
Although Alex Deleon is the only player who has hit a ball out of the park this season, Kansas had a lot power with the bats this season. The Jayhawks lead the Big 12 with a batting average of .333 this season. Jacob Boylan has been a pleasant surprise as a freshman. He's earned a batting average of .520 after 25 plate appearances and looks to add on against Eastern Michigan.
PITCHING
Frank Duncan dominated against SIU-Edwardsville and held the Cougars scoreless last Friday. Duncan has only allowed four runs and 10 hits after pitching in 13 and 2/3 innings. Thomas Taylor has also made some noise as he leads the team in strikeouts with 13 and ranks 10th all-time in school history. Kansas has yet to allow a home run this season.
OUTFIELD
INFIELD
Daniel Russell made the switch from left to center field due to the departure of Brent Ohrman. Russell made some solid defensive plays at left field and hopes to continue to impress his coaches while playing a new role. Dae Bowden earns his chance at left field while Sam Ott returns at right field.
Adam Dennison and Tony DiLeo have seen some time behind the plate. Dennison and DiLeo have filled in well so far for Matt Hitt. Eastern Michigan, despite being young and inexperienced, have a bright future with Marquise Gill and Mitchell McGeein. The only senior in the infield is Jamie Simpson, who leads the team in putouts this season with 16.
BATTING
Jamie Simpson and Mitchell McGeein have the two highest slugging percentages on the team and are the only players with a home run for the Eagles this year. But the Eagles' 1-5 record has been due to the jack of runs in some games. If the Eagles can be more consistent, as well as get help from pitching, they have a chance against the Jayhawks.
PITCHING
Eastern Michigan's pitching has some room for improvement as it has played a big role in the 1-5 start to the season. Neil Butara has allowed 19 hits and 16 runs off two games and is 0-2 to start the year off. But Kendall Lewis has managed to limit opposing batters, containing most of them as he's given up just seven hits and two runs in two games.

Kansas travels to North Carolina for Wolfpack Challenge
cschaeder@kansan.com
CHRIS SCHAEDER
The tournament also features North Carolina A&T, Stony Brook, Lafayette and host North Carolina State. Play begins on Friday for Kansas when it takes on North Carolina A&T at 1:30 p.m. This matchup is the first in a Friday doubleheader as Kansas plays Stony Brook at 3:15 p.m.
The Kansas softball team hits the road for another tournament this weekend as the Jayhawks travel to Raleigh, N.C., for the Wolfpack Challenge.
Kansas also plays in a tough doubleheader on Saturday as they take on Lafayette at 9 a.m., and North
Carolina State at 3:45 p.m. The Jayhawks conclude the tournament on Sunday with a second matchup with Stony Brook on Sunday at 8 a.m.
The Jayhawks go into this weekend with a record of 10-4 and an impressive 9-2 record in neutral site games. Kansas won its first three games of the Islanders Classic last weekend before losing to New Mexico 2-1 in a highly contested pitcher's duel.
North Carolina A&T comes into the tournament with a 1-2 record at last weekend's North Carolina A&T Invitational. The Aggies lost to Canisius and St. Francis before defeating Maryland Eastern Shore in the finale of the Invitational.
Stony Brook won the first three games of the Longwood Adidas Spring Classic last weekend before losing to Longwood in the finale. The Sea Wolves defeated Bucknell twice and Longwood before losing to the host team in their second meeting. Stony Brook comes into the Wolfpack Challenge with a record of 4-6.
The Wolfpack Challenge brings with it the first games of the season for the Lafayette Leopards. Lafayette is coming off a disappointing 2011-12 season where they finished 14-40 overall and 7-13 in conference.
Kansas and North Carolina State already faced one another twice in the season in the FIU Panther Invitational in Miami. The Wolfpack defeated Kansas 8-0 in the teams' first matchup, but the Jayhawks got revenge in the second matchup defeating NC State 3-2. NC State has a record of 7-5-1 coming into this weekend.
Some key players to watch for the Jayhawks are utility player Maddie Stein, outfielder Maggie Hull and pitcher/outfielder Alex Jones. Stein leads Kansas with a .449 batting average and 20 RBIs. Maggie Hull's batting average of .442 is second on the team, and she's also second on the team with two home runs. Jones is fourth on the team in batting average, and is also one of the team's best pitchers with an ERA of 2.80.

Midwest recruits will fill holes on team
COLIN WRIGHT
cwright@kansan.com
A week after the women's track and field team won its first ever conference championship and the men's team took sixth at the Indoor Big 12 Championship in Ames, Iowa, Kansas signed 10 high school athletes to compete at the university next season.
said Kansas head coach Stanley Redwine. "We have a balanced team going out and we have a balanced team coming in."
"We're really excited for both the men's and women's program,"
S. WILLIAMS
The 10
Redwine
signees—four men and six women—are mostly from the Midwest, but stretch as far as Nevada and Georgia. The athletes will help fill current holes on the team, as well as add depth to other positions.
Kenneth Boyer is a thrower from O'Fallon, Mo. The Lafayette High School native is a discus specialist with a personal best throw of 159-10 ft., which helped him win the Sectional Championship and finish in the top 10 at State.
Caleb Cowling is a long jumper from Omaha, Neb. His personal best long jump of 23-0.75 ft. was the second longest jump in the state of Nebraska in 2012. He also finished third at the Kansas Relays last April in the long jump.
Nick Meyer is a pole vaulter
from Wichita. His vault of 16-7 ft, was not only good enough to win the state title, but was also the eight highest vault in the nation in 2012. He won the pole vault event last April at the Kansas Relays. The Bishop Carroll High School native will add another weapon to a stellar group of men's pole vaulters.
Tyler Yunk is a distance runner from Belvidere, Ill. He has helped Belvidere North High School win three championships in cross country. His personal best time of 9:03.09 in the 3,200 meters was the fifth fastest in Illinois last year and helped him become conference champion last year on the track.
Whitney Adams is a middle distance runner from Saint Charles, Mo. In 2012, she recorded the fastest 400 meter time in the state with a time of 54.70 on her way to winning the State title in that event. She also helped lead Francis Howell High School to a State team title last year, anchoring the 4x400, and running the 100 and 200 meter dash.
Kourtney Keller, from Powder Springs, Ga., runs hurdles and sprints. Last year, she won the 400 meter hurdles at the AAU Junior Championships with a time of 59.64, which was the fifth fastest recorded time in the nation last year. She also is an elite runner in the 200 and 400 meters.
second fastest time in the state of Colorado last year. Her personal best time in the 100 meter hurdles is 14.36.
Taylor Klein runs hurdles and hails from Denver. She is the defending state champion in both the 100 and 300 meter hurdles. Her personal best time of 42.72 in the 300 meter hurdles was the
Adriana Newell is a spinner from Spark, Nev. Last year, she recorded the fastest 100 meter time in the state of Nevada when she ran a 12.05 at State. She is also a top competitor in the 200 meters, with a personal best time of 25.17.
Grace Pickell is a high jumper from Prairie Village, Kan. She won the State title in 2012 with a personal best jump of 5-10.5 ft., the fourth highest jump in the nation last year. The Kansas native from Shawnee Mission East High School has competed in the Kansas Relays and currently has the fourth highest jump in state history.
Lydia Saggau is a middle distance runner from Des Moines, Iowa. Her personal best time in the 800 meters is 2:12.07, which was the second fastest time in the state of Iowa last year. She also finished runner-up in the 800 meters at State.

"Our athletes can come in and make an immediate impact with the team—especially on our women's side, they'll have to because we have so many seniors leaving." Redwine said. "We're excited about the class and looking forward to seeing how they fit in."

Rank improves before conference play

TYLER CONOVER
For the past week, Lawrence has been repeatedly hampered by snow, and consequently the Kansas tennis team cancelled one match and rescheduled another.
3 p.m. Thursday in its last match before conference play starts March 8 against Oklahoma.
One thing the snow has not managed to stall is the movement of the Jayhawks up the rankings of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Ranked 0,65 in the associations top 75. Kansas is set to host the University of Missouri-Kansas City Karooos
Kansas comes into the matchup with a 4-2 record, its only two losses coming at the hands of ranked opponents. Kansas Thursday opponent, UMKC, is not ranked.
The Jayhawks have been dominant in singles play over the past two matches, especially the play of freshman Anastasija Trubica and junior Paulina Los. On the season, the two are a combined 11-1 in singles play.
While the singles play has been impressive for Kansas as of late, doubles play has been the team's lynchpin. Kansas has only lost two of three in doubles play twice this spring. Paulina Los and Maria Belen Luduena, who are 5-1 together, have been instrumental in the team's success.
The Kangaroos are 3-6 on the spring season and are 1-3 over the last four outings. UMKC as a team has 10-15 record in doubles play which will need to be addressed if the it wants to do more than just visit Lawrence.
Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt has noticed a spike in confidence since the team joined the ITA top-75 for the first time since the 2009 season.
The Jayhawks will need to sharpen their beaks in its final nonconference match, because eight of the teams in the Big 12 are also present in the latest version of the ITA top-75.

Senior point guard Angel Goodrich is not unfamiliar with Sherri Coale's Oklahoma Sooners. Goodrich, a Tahlequah, Okla, native will return to her home state alongside the Kansas Jayhawks to play against the program and coach that so badly wanted for her to be a part of it.
Going on an Alternative Summer Break is a rewarding and inexpensive way to meet other KU students, do meaningful work travel the country, get certified in Service Learning, and fulfill program components for Honors and International students.
Two weeks ago, Goodrich helped lead the Jayhawks to an 81-71 victory over Oklahoma. She set the all-time assists record for Kansas women's basketball with her tenth and final assist of the game.
Scholarships are available for Business, Education, CLAS, and non-traditional students. General scholarships are also available.
Senior guard Angel Goodrich takes the ball downcourt during the match against Iowa State Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich had 24 total points with 10 assists and five blocks. Kansas won against Iowa State in overtime with a final score of 68-65.

Goodrich made a name for herself in the state of Oklahoma, winning three 3A state titles at Sequoyah High School. She helped transform the Sequoyah basketball program into a symbol of pride for the community. The Cherokee Indian community, of which Goodrich's mother is a part, was especially proud to see one of their own achieving such success.
"She's been exactly what I thought she would be in this league," Coale said in the post-game press conference. "I knew she would be a great player. I would have loved to have kept her home, but she had a great career here."
"It was amazing how many people came to our games and how big the Native community came and supported us" Goodrich said in late October.
In many ways, Goodrich has transformed the Kansas women's basketball program as well. Last season, she led the program on a run to the Sweet 16 and led the nation with
Family is important to Goodrich. She learned basketball through playing in tournaments with her brother Zach Goodrich. He taught her the key to being the smallest player on the court is to play fearlessly. Something that has held true for Goodrich as a 5-foot-4 point guard.
When it was announced that Goodrich was the new assists leader for the Jayhawks, her eyes searched the crowd before she left the court. She spotted the group of people that this moment meant the most to.
Zach was a second team All-American at Sterling College, a NAIA Division II school.
"I was pointing at my family Goodrich said with a smile after the game, "My whole family is here and they were yelling. For them t be here, and for me to get that, it great."
"I just give credit to my teammates," Goodrich said after setting the record, "because they're the ones that finish the plays."
"The adversity he had to go through made me see a lot in him," Angel said. "That kind of pushed me."
Angel watched her brother handle the challenges of being a 5-foot-7 men's basketball player. It inspired her—how he didn't let his height affect him.
250 assists. This season she sits in the top 10 with 161.
Goodrich's mother, Fayth Lewis,
was also an inspiration.
"My mom has always pushed me to not let anyone tell me what I can and cannot do," Angel said. "just her, my brother, just my whole family, we're all small, just hearing the support and them being there and us just teaching each other to just keep pushing has probably built me to the person I am now."
It is that love and support that led Goodrich to search the stands of Allen Fieldhouse two weeks ago. She wanted them to know how much she cared.

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said Goodrich didn't know about the assist record until she was told as she was walking off the court.

"I couldn't be more happy and proud of her, and for her family that made a sacrifice to allow her to come this far," Henrickson said. "Honestly, that's who the kid has been since I saw her as an eighth grader. This is exactly what I thought she could do in this league, and at this level. It's exactly what I thought she could do for this program."
For Goodrich, the decision to play for Kansas and leave behind her home state and an offer from Sherri Coale was simple.
"I felt like this was where I needed to be," Goodrich said. "It felt like the right spot for me."
On Saturday, Goodrich will take the court for her last college game in the state of Oklahoma, but she will do so with the letters KANSAS emblazoned on her jersey.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
Coming off an extremely emotional overtime victory at Iowa State, Saturday afternoon's match-up with West Virginia screams "trap game." There should be enough time passed for the Jayhawks to come back down to earth and with former Kansas State coach and current Mountainers' coach Bob Huggins back in Allen Fieldhouse, there will be plenty of reasons for Kansas to show up.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ben McLemore, Guard
After his quiet-
lest his greatest performance of the season, and in the comfort of his own house, it's safe to say McLemore is due for another huge performance. Add in a weak opponent
CITY OF BALTIMORE
QUESTION MARK
and, yeah, don't take your eyes off Ben.
After an explosive 39 point performance on Monday night the big question is how will Elijah Johnson follow it up against West Virginia. He will certainly be celebrated when he takes James Naismith Court, but how much can be expected from him?

MARKETING
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas comes out strong and plays solid defense for forty minutes. When the Jayhawks took down TCU in the Fieldhouse, Kansas coach Bill Self gripped about his team's performance in the second half. This should be another game the Jayhawks win handily, but they'll need to stay consistent.

ELIJAH JOHNSON, POINT GUARD
Throw out everything you thought you knew about Elijah Johnson because it's clear he's not the same player he was a week ago. This Elijah Johnson has a lot of swagger. This Elijah Johnson can handle the ball. This Elijah Johnson can get on a hot streak, and this Elijah Johnson makes Kansas a very dangerous team.

Releford
TRAVIS RELEFORD, SHOOTING GUARD
Before Johnson took over Monday night's game, Travis Reifeld kept the Jayhawks afloat. His 19 points were crucial, and on defense, he is still one of the toughest matchups in the Big 12. Last time Kansas met West Virginia, he was able to up 15 points. Expect more out of him during the rematch at Allen Fieldhouse.
PARKER
McLemore
★★★★☆
BEN MCLEMORE, SHOOTING GUARD
It's not unlike McLemore to perform poorly on the road. It is highly unusual to see him disappear completely. To be considered a top player in the country, you need to make statements in the biggest games, whether home or away. McLemore took six shots and had seven points in Ames, Iowa. Fortunately, Kansas still has one more big road test left, and he can start bouncing back against a weak West Virginia team.
PETER A. RUBER
★★★★★
Young remains one of the best energy guys in college basketball, yet the same can't be said of his scoring touch. Kansas coach Bill Self has compared him to Tyshawn Taylor in that Young makes plays you can't coach, and at times, seems uncoachable, but fortunately for the Jayhawks, there's less of the latter.
Young
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
★★★☆★
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
If Withey can continue to be a dominating force on defense and tread water on offense, there's a solid chance he will slide to first team All-America status. Don't over-think his performance at Iowa State; the Cyclones presented the worst match-up for him and pulled him from the paint. It's highly unlikely he doesn't bounce back on Saturday.

Browne
GARY BROWNE, GUARD
Browne leads the team in free throws and has made 70-84 this season, good for 83 percent. He rebounds well for a guard, particularly on the offensive end, where he has 30 rebounds this season. However, he is a liability from behind the arc, where he has made only 10-53 attempts this season.
Hinds
★★★☆☆
JABARIE HINDS, GUARD
The sophomore has startled all but one game for West Virginia this season and averages 23.8 minutes per game, second-most on the team. However, Hinds struggles to score, as he shoots only 35 percent from the field. He's also gotten to the free throw line only 40 times this season, making 28 of those attempts.
★★☆☆☆

Harris
ERON HARRIS. GUARD
Harris missed all five shots he took against Kansas when the teams first met this season, finishing with only two points. He's usually better than that, though, and he makes 43 percent of his shots. He's also one of the best 3-point shooters on the team, having made 36-96 attempts this season.
★★★☆☆
KEVIN NOREEN, FORWARD
Noreen is one of the eight Mountainers who has started at least 10 games this season, although Noreen's starting role has become more secure as of late. Unfortunately for West Virginia, Noreen hasn't used his 6-foot-10-inch frame to make significant contributions. He averages 4.3 rebounds per game and only 2.6 points per game.
PETER BELLEAU
★★☆☆
Noreen
DENIZ KILICLI, FORWARD
The senior is a native of Istanbul, Turkey, and he had a career-high 25 points against Texas Tech Feb. 16, and then followed with 16 points at Kansas State. He is the Mountaineers' second-leading scorer at 8.8 points per game and second-leading rebounder at 4.3 rebounds per game.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Coach Bob Huggins uses an 11-man rotation, and all of those players have started at least two games this season. Perhaps because of this, the Mountaineers don't have a go-to scorer, but six players average between 7.5 and 9.2 points per game. West Virginia has struggled in its first year in the Big 12. It has back-to-back conference games only once, when it stung together a three-game winning streak in early February. Currently, the Mountaineers are on a two-game losing streak.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Aaric Murray, Forward
JOHN MCDONALD
Murray
The junior center doesn't normally start, but he leads the team with 9.2 points per game.
He's shot only 30 3-pointers this season and made 10 of them, but
he was 3-5 beyond the arc in the first matchup with Kansas. He was 7-15 from the field that game and led the team with 17 points and 7 rebounds in the narrow 61-56 loss to the Jayhawks.
QUESTION MARK
Will West Virginia try to emulate Iowa State?
When the Mountaineers and Jayhawks met on Jan. 28, West Virginia's big men made all four of the Mountainers' 3-pointers. Their guards missed all eight of their attempts. On Monday, the Cyclones stretched the floor by having forward Georges Niang attempt nine 3-pointers, and they almost knocked off Kansas. If West Virginia's big men contribute timely outside shots, and the guards step up and knock down their 3-pointers, the Mountaineers could stick around longer than Kansas would like.
BY THE NUMBERS
Bob Huggins has given 12 players at least two starts this season.
12
28.5
No one on West Virginia averages more than 28.5 minutes per game, whereas Kansas has four players averaging more than 30 minutes per game.
A
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Kansas plays sloppily. In Morgantown, the Jayhawks opened up a 29-14 lead, but then turnovers let West Virginia back in the game. Kansas committed a turnover on four straight possessions late in the first half and finished with 16 turnovers and only 12 assists. The Mountaineers finished with eight assists and only nine turnovers.

Jayhawks find foul trouble in tough loss to Iowa State
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has just nine players on her roster at the moment, and just three of them have the size to play in the post.
On Wednesday night, as the Jayhawks lost to Iowa State 83-68, the three post players for Henrickson combined for 12 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks and 13 fouls. Yes, 13 fouls.
Senior forward Carolyn Davis fouled out with two points and zero rebounds, and fouled out after just 18 minutes played. When Davis has zero rebounds, the Jayhawks chances of winning are not much greater than zero, unless sophomores Chelsea Gardner and Bunny Williams are able to make up for those lost rebounds, and though Williams pulled down six off of the bench, it was not enough.
The layhawks were led in re-bounds by the smallest player on
the roster, 5-foot-4 point guard senior Angel Goodrich.
Goodrich's 21 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and four steals were not enough for the Jayhawks to power the Jayhawks past Iowa State. Senior Monica Engelman provided 20 points also, but aside from the two senior guards, there was just not much fuel from the rest of the Kansas players.
"We were good in stretches, but the last stretches lasted too long," Henrickson said. "Both (Angel and Monica) played confidently, but we just didn't have enough around them tonight. We really shot it and had good rhythm (early on), and I thought we were a lot better, but we had too many stretches with not much (offense) inside and defensive lapses."
Kansas made runs to keep the game close in both halves, but they didn't have the fire power to keep up for 40 minutes.
Kansas made 10 3-pointers, the most this season, but the Jayhawks
are not a team that expects to win on the outside.
Henrickson has emphasized many times this season that Kansas needs to establish an offensive post presence above all else, and the Jayhawks never did establish anything in the paint on Wednesday.
The Cyclones had four players score in double figures, led by forward Chelsea Poppens with 22. Poppens made it to the free throw line 13 times, and made 12 of those shots, demonstrating further just how much the foul trouble caused problems for Kansas.
In all, the Cyclones shot 17-of-20 from the free throw line, with double the opportunities that they gave up to the Jayhawks.
Those fouls and a lack of rebounding let what could have been a valuable Big 12 road win, and a season sweep of Iowa State, slip between Kansas's hands.

Penn State (9-18, 1-14) had lost 18 straight regular-season Big Ten games dating to last season. The team's previous conference win came on Feb. 16, 2012, a 69-64 victory over Iowa.

Penn State pounced on the mistakes.
DJ. Newbill added 17 points for the Nittany Lions, who hit a season-high 10 3-pointers. Marshall scored 19 in the second half,
"It was a chip play that we run ... Coach put the ball in my hand and he had trust in me," Marshall said. That was not the kind of luck that the Nittany Lions have been used to, ever since leading scorer and point guard Tim Frazier went down with a left Achilles injury four games into the season.

"Tonight, it's a relief. All the hard work, practices and shoot-arounds paid off for us," Newbill said.
They had to adjust on the fly, with combo guard Newbill sliding over to the point, and Marshall needing to assume more ball-handling duties. Chambers, a never-say-die cheerleader, convinced his team to keep fighting through the adversity.

"The ball finally bounced our way," Chambers said. "Trey Burke strips D.J. at halfcourt and kicks it out of bounds ... that's usually what we do."
Michigan's Glenn Robinson III misfired on a 3 with 17 seconds left. Sasa Boroovjian (nine points) had a memorable Senior Night, hitting two foul shots with 15 seconds left to seal the win.
Midway through the second half, Michigan controlled the lane with dunks and cuts to the bucket. Long-range shooting gave the Wolverine breathing room after Nik Stauskus (12 points, eight reboundsl) and Hardaway hit 3s on back-to-back possessions to help build the short-lived 15-point lead after Penn State had drawn within 49-45.
All five of Michigan's losses have come on the road in the Big Ten — none worse than Wednesday night's defeat. Michigan finished February with a 3-4 record, heading into a showdown Sunday with No. 9 Michigan State.
