Students perform at annual Rock Chalk Revue variety show

It's been a long road filled with months of planning, preparation and rehearsals for the more than 70 members of the annual variety show. Rock Chalk Revue.
The show, which took place Thursday through Saturday, has been in the works since planning began last spring. Auditions occurred in late fall, and out of 12 entries, five acts were chosen in November to compose the program.
Taylor Renft, a senior from Prairie Village, has been involved with the annual show for the past four years, holding titles from chorus member to now, co-executive director.
"After being a director last year, I knew that co-executive director was something I was really interested in going out for," Renft said. "Rock Chalk Revue has given me some of the best memories of my college career, and I wanted to be able to help people create those memories."
As a co-executive director, Renft has helped plan the show with the 19 other members of the advisory board. The board worked to promote, fundraise and coordinate the business aspects of the show.
During the last months of rehearsals, Renft oversaw each of the five original musicals. While there weren't any major issues, the process wasn't always smooth, Renft said.
"There were definitely a lot of ups and downs throughout this process, and we got thrown a curve ball a time or two." Renft said. "I think there were times when Katie Lewis and I were concerned with shows not progressing at the speed they should have been."
After a pep talk, however, things always got back on track. Seeing
the five individual shows evolve was the most rewarding experience for Renft.
"I saw where each show started, and the amount that they have all grown from that point in incredible," Renft said. "The directors put in so much time and work with each of the shows, and it definitely paid off."
Renft first saw the shows on stage during technical rehearsals at the Lied Center.
"I kind of just had a moment and sat back like, 'Wow, we did it,' she said.
Members of the stage crew were responsible for stage setup and clearing and moving various pieces on and off the stage throughout the five acts.
The 50 performers had their share of the spotlight last weekend, but the more low-key stage crew was integral to the show's success.
Working around and staying clear of the performers while moving cumbersome and heavy pieces was a challenge for the crew.
"I never realized exactly what a stage crew actually had to put into pulling off a performance and how accommodating they are to the actors and dancers," Podrebarac said.
Having previously been in performing roles, Hillary Podrebarac, a freshman from Lenexa, gained a different perspective as a member of the stage crew.
"They're (the performers) the most important part, and I didn't want any of the set parts or the crew to get in their way and mess them up," Podrebara said.
While they are a "behind-the-scenes" group, the stage crew wasn't completely hidden from the audience.
"We all act professional, but we are seen quite a bit in some shows by the audience, which I don't really like." Podrebarac said. "But we don't draw attention to ourselves, and the shows are still amazing, so it isn't a big deal."
Just like an offstage performer must keep up with what's happening on stage, the stage crew had to pay attention during the shows.
"Mostly, the crew needs to listen and wait for our cues, but it is important to have a general sense of what is going on in each show so that you don't miss something or come in late," Podrebarac said.
Once selected as a Rock Chalk Revue act, organizations must write a script and music for a 20-minute original musical. The groups then audition for individual roles and direct, choreograph and rehearse the show, sometimes for hours a day.
Having heard about the show before coming to the University, Wichita freshman India Cohlmia was determined to be a part of it early on.
"From the stories I had heard, it just sounded like it was so much fun and that it was a great experience," Cohlmia said.
Cohlma was cast as "Ant Joke" in the one act "Jokes On You" by members of Kappa Delta and Sigma Nu.
"There haven't been many shows that I've been in where I look forward to going to practice every day, but Rock Chalk Revue is definitely one of them," Cohlmia said. "We came into this as separate cast members, but we walked out as great
Cohlma said although they had to focus on staying productive, being part of an extremely close cast is something she will treasure.
As a freshman, Cohlmia said she was just happy to be a part of the experience.
friends that had an incredible time together."
"The most rewarding thing for me has been feeling like I am part of something that people love." Cohlmia said. "Rock Chalk Revue is such a wonderful tradition that encourages creativity and forces people out of their comfort zone."
Claire Inman, a sophomore from Leawood, performed in Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Kappa Phi's production of "The Catcher Gone Awry"
Music and performing arts play an important role in Inman's life, so when the opportunity to compete in Rock Chalk Revue arose, she jumped at the chance. She was cast as Luna Sanderson, a smart yet sassy young girl constantly working on a project to help a "dream factory"
Rehearsals on top of already hectic schedules meant sometimes things were chaotic, but Inman said the group dynamics and watching the show come together made the experience worth it.
"By the last show, we were so proud and so confident in our show that we could hardly contain our excitement, and that showed," Inman said.
Inman won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Luna Sanderson, but she said the most rewarding aspect of Rock Chalk Revue was the friendships she made.
"I have learned so much and have come out of this experience with so much to be proud of," Inman said. "That wouldn't have been possible without the amazing people I shared this experience with."

University mourns loss of student, celebrates her life
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
Thoughtful, outgoing and hard working only begin to describe Courtney Newman's legacy. Newman, who passed away at Ellsworth Residence Hall Thursday evening, was an enthusiastic student who was heavily involved in campus activities, including her role as a resident assistant. KU Alerts reported the death, stating that the campus police had found no evidence of foul play.
"Courtney was really energetic, very positive, optimistic, focused, driven," Carynn Smith, Courtney's cousin and a graduate student studying higher education administration, said. "She knew that the sky was the limit. She was really destined to do something with her life."
Smith considered Newman, who was an only child, like a little sister. The two grew up together and continued to share the University, resident assistant experiences and time spent together in their sorority.
"She was so well liked because what she did, she did with a smile on her face, because she wanted to do it," Smith said. "She never complained about anything. She didn't take anything for granted — everything that she did was something that she felt that she wanted to do to help people become better people or to get involved."
Newman, a senior from Leavenworth, was expected to graduate in May with a double major in psychology and sociology. Described as an enthusiastic
"She loved all ages of people," said Newman's mother, Lori Carrell. "From infants to seniors, she loved every age of a person."
Newman, who was also involved in groups such as the Black Student Union and the National Pan-Hellenic Council, worked to include students. She loved her job as a resident assistant, keeping a craft area in her room devoted to creating door decorations and posters to help her residents feel engaged.
As treasurer for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Newman would go above and beyond the call of duty to help organize events. Through Zeta Phi Beta, which sponsors the Stork's Nest Program, promoting prenatal medical care for low-income pregnant women, Newman had organized the Baby Shower Fundraiser to collect clothes, toys and other baby items to donate to women in need. The event, Thursday from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Big 12 Room at the Kansas Union, will now also recognize Newman's passing.
"People at KU that knew her or didn't know her, they will see her as a very generous person," Smith said. "And she loved to smile."

University takes sequestration hits
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
As legislators have failed to enact a bill meant to balance the budget, 5.1 percent of federal funds have been cut across the board — amounting to $85 billion, effective Friday. Congress, long at a standstill debating between spending cuts and revenue increases, agreed upon sequestration as a penalty deadline.
"This will be a challenge for the University in terms of research efforts," said Kevin Boatright from Research and Graduate Studies. "But we have been making plans."
For education in the state of Kansas, these cuts translate into 500 children ages 3 to 5 losing access to early education through Head Start Services, $5.5 million cut from K-12 education, 8 teacher and aide jobs put at risk, 310 fewer college students receiving financial aid and 140 fewer students receiving work-study
jobs. All government services lose 5.1 percent of funding, including environmental and nutrition assistance for seniors, job-search assistance, law enforcement, military base operation funding, and public health.
At the University, federal research grants help fund studies conducted by graduate students in science and technology. Those students' salaries are written into the grant, meaning that those federal research grants hire graduate research students. Each federal agency will distribute further information advising how to negotiate budget cuts.
The federal fiscal year ends Sept. 30. A little more than six months are left to deflate the entire fiscal year's budget by 5.1 percent, meaning federal grants will most likely have to be reduced by 10
"We do not want the sequester to cause difficulty for any student between now and the end of the semester," Boatright said.
percent to balance the year.
"We have to proceed as though there is going to be no change to this between now and the end of the federal fiscal year in September," Boatright said. "We can't just wait and see what happens. We have to assume that this is going to continue."
A possible response to the suggested sequester is a decrease the amount of new grants offered without reducing existing awards.
Sequestration will be in effect until Congress is able to agree upon a budget that balances spending cuts and tax revenue.
Edited by Elise Reuter
"We're trying to communicate to people that this is serious," Boatright said. "It's something that we cannot ignore as a University in the research area. We have to take action to respond to what is happening in ways that are the least harmful to faculty, staff and students."

Taxidermy keeps pets memories alive forever
SLATER, Mo. — Growing up on the family farm, Anthony Eddy learned early on not to get too attached to animals, including household pets.
His devoted customers are a different story. Pet lovers across the country count on the Saline County taxidermist to faithfully preserve Brutus, Fluffy and other beloved companions for posterity. Even if it means shelling out thousands of dollars and waiting more than a year for the pets' return.
"They're very distraught, because
their child has died. For most people, this animal is his life," said Leslie
"Les"  Thurman Calvert, Eddy's office manager. "Some are kind of eccentric. But most of them are just like you and me. They don't want to bury or cremate them. They can't stand the thought. ... It helps them feel better about the loss."
The front showroom of Eddy's Wildlife Studio in downtown Slater is a testament to pet owners' perseverance. Life like dogs and cats of all sizes are scattered along the

floor, from a perky-looking Brittany spaniel to a regal Persian cat, a lone iguana and the stray cockatiel or two. Departed pets of all persuasions spend up to one year
in hulking, freeze-dry metal drums before they are painstakingly preserved and returned to their owners.
Eddy said his business is one of the few in the country to specialize in pet taxidermy and has a two-month waiting list.
A former high school chemistry and biology teacher, hog farmer and Air Force veteran, Eddy started out in traditional taxidermy, stuffing great horned owls and pheasants with the help of a local veterinarian. He originally used the freeze-dry technique to preserve mounted neck heads for hunters before realizing in the mid-1990s it could also work with pets.
Eddy, 64, compares his line of
work to the mortician's trade. He'll share broad details about the process with customers but likes to keep some mystery to the process and steer clear of the gross-out factor. He's quick to embrace the artistry of his craft, especially when it comes to the primping and prepping required once the internal organs and body fat are removed and the carcass is fully dry. Depending on the customer's preference, pets can be posed with a skyward gaze, an extended paw or with eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
"You just have a knack for it," he said. "it's like an artist painting a picture."
KUnited releases new platforms for election
Brandon Wocarc, a senior from Topeka, is Klinet'd's 2013 presidential candidate. Blaise Bengtson, a junior from Salina, is Klinet'd's 2013 vice-presidential candidate.
Kunited, a student senate coalition, has released four more platform initiatives for the 2013 campaign.
NEW AQUATIC CENTER AT THE REC
Klunited plans to work with KU Recreation Services to begin the process of funding and building a new aquatic center. This will be an expansion of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Woodard said the pool at Robinson Center is underused and has minimal availability. He said this addition will
be focused more on a recreational pool rather than just a lap pool.
INCREASED FREE PRINTING ON CAMPUS
The ability to print wherever and whenever is crucial for creating quality work and meeting deadlines, according to a KUnited press release. KUnited plans to increase the dollar amount of free printing students receive at the beginning of each semester.
CREATING A SMOKE-FREE CAMPUS
Kunited plans to work with university administration to restrict smoking on campus. They will also be collaborating with Unfiltered, a student tobacco-free campus initiative. Kunited plans to set up designated smoking areas. They also plan to establish
beneficial cessation services at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Woodard said a smoke-free campus is more feasible than increasing restrictions. He said they want to encourage a healthier campus.
FULL-TIME LGBTQIA COORDINATOR
Hannah Barling
Klunited plans to secure funding to hire a full-time university coordinator. They are aiming to create a more inclusive campus for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual students.
"It's a necessity for students who identify with that community," Woodard said.
CORRECTION
Woodard said the university doesn't have the full-time resources that our peer institutions have.
Jack Martin, the Director of Strategic Communications at the Office of Public Affairs, said in an email that the University's law enforcement have determined that concealed weapons on campus do not increase safety. He also noted that, in this case, the University and Student Senate agree.
In the story titled "University continues to oppose concealed carry" published in the Thursday, Feb. 28 issue, the Kansan quoted a Student Senate member on the University's policy regarding concealed carry. However, only University officials can speak to what that the University as a whole does or does not support.

AT&T began offering 4G LTE capability in Lawrence last week. This makes AT&T the second telecommunications company to provide 4G LTE coverage in Lawrence, coming six months after Verizon announced its LTE services would become available in Lawrence.
LTE, or Long-Term Evolution, offers users faster processing speeds. Users with LTE-compatible devices will benefit decreased lag time and better use of AT&T's WiFi spectrum, according to an AT&T release.
4G LTE was already available in Wichita and the Kansas City area, making Lawrence the third area in the state to gain AT&T's latest form of mobile coverage.

Student AT&T customers are excited about the implications 4G LTE will have on their mobile communications experiences. Still, some students are concerned with some of the other issues AT&T needs to address to iron out all of its service wrinkles.
"I'll be just as excited as the next person to get LTE coverage. I just hope they aren't expecting us to pay a premium for it," Ben Tumbleson, a freshman from Leawood said. "I feel as though a more appropriate response for AT&T would be to fill in the dead zones across the U.S."
AT&T is next looking to increase the number of customers with LTE-capable devices so that more customers are able to take advantage of the technological advancement.

Thomas Plummer, director of external affairs for the Big Event, said the purpose of awareness week is to register volunteers and to give students and faculty information about the event.
"People recognize our brand and see the Big Event logo." Plummer said. "It's important that we explain what it is, what we do and how to get involved."
Big Event committee members will have tables set up on Wescoe Beach each day this week to allow students to ask questions and sign up to volunteer.
On Wednesday,students can bowl at
Jaybowl from 7 to 9 p.m. Students can purchase tickets for $4 at the Union Programs Box Office or at the event. On Thursday, a percentage of the proceeds from anyone who eats at Fuzzy's Taco Shop and mentions the Big Event will be donated to the event.
Volunteers will distribute fliers to recruit community members to register their homes or businesses as volunteer sites on March 10 starting at 1 p.m. in the Memorial Stadium parking lot.
Kayla Boal, the Big Event's programming co-chair, said the day of volunteer service is a way to learn more about the community while showing Lawrence residents the University's appreciation.
Last year's Big Event had approximately 2,000 participants volunteering at 200 sites, and this year, organizers hope to double those figures.

Child born with AIDS appears to be cured
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A baby born with the AIDS virus appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who's now 2½ and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection.
There's no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus' genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world's second reported cure.
Specialists say Sunday's announcement at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus.
"You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we've seen," Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within
30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn't diagnosed until she was in labor.
"I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and deserved our best shot," Dr. Hannah Gay a pediatric HIV specialist at
the University of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby's blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication,
more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. "Maybe we'll be able to block this reservoir seeding" Persaud said.
But "it opens up a lot of doors" to research if other children can benefit,
said Dr. Deborah Persaud of John Hopkins Children's Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child "functionally cured" meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven't been completely eradicated.
"You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we've seen."
Next, Persa I. team is planning a study to try to prove that, with
ANTHONY FAUCI National Institutes of Health doctor
he said.
Better than treatment is to prevent babies from being born with HIV in the first place.
HIV in 2011, mostly in poor countries where only about 60 percent of infected pregnant women get treatment that can keep them from passing the virus to their babies. In the U.S., such births are very rare because HIV testing and treatment long have been part of prenatal care.

300,000 chil-
dren were
born with
"We can't promise to cure babies
who are infected. We can promise to prevent the vast majority of transmissions if the moms are tested during every pregnancy" Gay stressed.
The only other person considered cured of the AIDS virus underwent a very different and risky kind of treatment — a bone marrow transplant from a special donor, one of the rare people who is naturally resistant to HIV. Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco has not needed HIV medications in the five years since that transplant.
The Mississippi case shows "there may be different cures for different populations of HIV-infected people," said Dr. Rowena Johnston of amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. That group funded Persaud's team to explore possible cases of pediatric cures.
It also suggests that scientists should look back at other children who've been treated since shortly after birth, including some reports of possible cures in the late 1990s that were dismissed at the time, said Dr. Steven Deeks of the University of California, San Francisco, who also has seen the findings.
"This will likely inspire the field, make people more optimistic that this is possible," he said.
In the Mississippi case, the mother had had no prenatal care when she came to a rural emergency room in advanced labor. A rapid test detected HIV. In such cases, doctors typically give the newborn low-dose medication in hopes of preventing HIV from taking root. But the small hospital didn't have the proper liquid kind, and sent the infant to Gay's medical center. She gave the baby higher treatment-level doses.
The child responded well through age 18 months, when the family temporarily quit returning and stopped treatment, researchers said. When they returned several months later, remarkably, Gay's standard tests detected no virus in the child's blood.
Ten months after treatment stopped, a battery of super-sensitive tests at half a dozen laboratories found no sign of the virus' return. There were only some remnants of genetic material that don't appear able to replicate. Persaud said.

Tips to build your professional network
Building your network is one of the most common career tips college students hear. Although this general advice is common, very few people know how to actually do it. I put together three simple steps you can apply today to start meeting some of the world's most awesome people.
Applying this method, I was able to connect with fascinating people, including Fortune 500 executives, a Nobel laureate, Harvard scientists and startup entrepreneurs. Of course, I still have a ton to learn, and was only able to meet so many cool people because of help I had along the way. But having a method has been useful to me, and I hope it will be useful to you also.
Networking was a real necessity to me. I arrived in the U.S. a couple years ago barely speaking English fluently, and knowing no one here. Although it took me a while to learn how to navigate the new social scene and make friends, establishing professional connections was a whole new beast. To learn how to do it, I turned to different professionals, and more recently to Dale

Stephens, author of the book "Hacking Your Education," and founder of the brilliant Uncollege. org. Blending different expert's advice with a bit of my own experience, here are three of my favorite steps.
By Arnobio Morelix
amorelix@kansan.com
EMAIL AND ASK ONE SINGLE QUESTION - THE FIRST BABY STEP
Here is a truth we are not always aware of: most professionals, even the star-level ones, would love to help and talk to you. All it takes is making the first move, and being mindful of their time. That is why emailing to ask a single question is our first step. The best way to do this is to identify five professionals you would like to ask for advice, and email them a short message. Here is a sample email format: how you found them, why you would love to hear from them and who you are. To increase the odds of an answer, mention something you have in common, such as a potential shared alma mater. That's it. The majority of the time, they will be happy to advise a college student.
TAKE PEOPLE TO COFFEE -
ESTABLISHING STRONGER
CONNECTIONS
Although email contact is a great start, real-life connections are even better. Drinking coffee has always been a social event, full of friendship and camaraderie, and we will use it. Make a list about some people you would like to meet and talk with. Finding people who work in an industry you would like to work in, and write them an email asking if you could meet for coffee to talk about career advice for that specific field. More often than not they will accept, if they have the time.
CLOSING THE CYCLE - IT IS ALL ABOUT GRATEFULNESS AND GENUINE CONNECTIONS
This is a general approach to networking. Be genuine with the people you reach out to. Thank the people who helped you. Follow up with them on how their advice aided you in landing a sweet internship. Help them when they need you. Networking is not about being sleazy or collecting business cards. If we think about people as just a means to an end, they will feel the same about us. Networking is always about relationships, never about transactions.
In his new book, Dale Stephens has put together a solid guide on how to take charge of your education and career. If you are interested in taking full control of your learning experience, rather than letting someone else decide for you, I recommend checking out Stephens' new book "Hacking Your Education."
I understand sometimes it is hard to first write the emails to reach out to people. I know the pain, and I want to help to get you started. So, if you want exact
scripts and wording I use for these steps, shoot me an email and I will be happy to share with you. On top of that, I will send you one more method, time consuming but, by far, the most effective.
I know that the advice "build your network" is a huge cliché. But a truth we don't realize often is that clichés became clichés for a reason. Working on expanding your network is worth the time. It gets easier with practice, and you will thank yourself for it. It has worked for me. And if it works for a foreigner with a weird beard and a funny accent, it will work for you, too.

New drama brings back classic serial killer drama
As human beings, I think we are fascinated with stories of taboo
A think we are fascinated with stories of taboo. Whether that means cannibalistic Hannibal Lecter in the "The Silence of the Lambs" or serial killer Dexter Morgan in Showtime's "Dexter," we love our crazies doing crazy things. So, I'm genuinely curious to see how audiences respond to A&E's newest TV show "Bates Motel." The show, which premieres March 18, is a modern twist and prequel to the movie "Psycho." The movie depicts Norman Bates, a man suffering from dissociative identity disorder kills her and her lover in a fit of jealousy. Later on, he "takes on" her personality and starts to kill the women he is attracted to.
By Emily Brown
ebrown@kansan.com
"Bates Motel" will focus on Norman's teenage years and how he deteriorated into the insane serial killer we see in the movie "Psycho."
The trailer for the first episode promises us a mixture of psychological thrill and plenty of drama. The show has everything it needs to be a success: creepy music, a sure-fire storyline, executive producers who have written for shows like "Lost" and "Friday Night Lights" and a character who placed second in American Film Institutes 50 greatest screen
villains category.
But to pull off this unnerving show, the acting is going to have to be superb. Freddie Highmore, who has starred in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005) and "The Spiderwick Chronicles" (2008) will play Norman. Not exactly the most provocative of films, but I was impressed with his acting in the trailer, which made Norman seem just a bit off kilter. Will "just a bit" be enough to keep our attention for long? Nope, but it might keep us watching long enough to get hooked on the plot.
I'm curious to see how Vera Farmiga will portray Norma Bates — Norman's mother. She and the writers will have to forge the complex relationship between a devoted mother and an obsessed son — a son who will one day become a famous serial killer.
How will she do this? I have no idea. But with all the potential.
this show has, I bet she can pull it off.
Executive Producer Carlton Cuse revealed on A&E's website that the city, White Pine Bay, is going to play a major role in Norman's mental collapse. Most of his explanation was vague with words like "danger," "secrets," and "mysterious," but one thing stood out to me: the marijuana trade. This certainly puts a modern edge to the story, and I can't wait to see how drugs are incorporated into the plot.
But whatever secrets the town is hiding, the focus needs to be on Norman and his relationship with his mother. If the producers and writers want to do "Psycho" rendition of Norman Bates justice, they are going to have to show how Norman Bates falls. And he didn't fall because of drugs or secrets in his town. It was his obsession with his mom that ultimately pushed him over the edge.
"Bates Motel" premieres Monday, March 18 at 9 p.m. on A&E.

University lacks changing stations
Without looking it up online, without wandering around campus, where is the nearest place to change a baby's diaper? Don't know? Yeah, neither do I.
It's never really been a concern of mine, and yet a few days ago the issue was shoved in my face like... well, like a dirty diaper. What is a mother, or for that matter, a father, supposed to do when they want to change their baby's diaper on campus?
I was at The Underground eating lunch with a friend of mine who has a three-month-old baby. Because Wescoe has no diaper decks (the baby changing stations located in most women's bathrooms, although very few bathrooms at KU) the mother placed a very thick blanket under her baby and changed him right there in The Underground.
Unsanitary? Debatable, but let's be honest, it's probably not the worst thing that's been on those tables.
Awoman complained about the incident, and the manager came over to talk to my friend. The manager explained that my friend would have to change the baby in the bathroom from now on the manager, and said that even though she knew that there were no changing tables, my friend would have to make do.
Now, have you ever been in The Underground bathrooms? Not only do they lack any place to safely change a baby, they're dimly lit and relatively small. Where exactly, I wondered, was my friend supposed to change her baby in there? Well, the manager didn't provide us the answer, so I thought I'd give it a go. Here are my top five suggestions for my friend, and all other mothers, who need to change their baby in a campus bathroom.
1. The floor: This seems like the obvious solution, doesn't it? Place the blanket on the floor, then the baby, then proceed with changing. I mean sure, there's a pretty good chance that someone not paying attention could walk into the mom as she crouches awkward on the floor in front of her baby, but she can learn to adjust. It's also likely that someone not paying attention could
3. On the floor, under the sink: Combinations are great. This solves the problem of someone accidentally stepping on the baby, but it does pose problems for anyone else using the bathroom. I mean, you can't wash your hands very well if a mom is sticking out from under the sink, trying to clean up her baby.
2. The sink: Sure, it might be a little wet, but it's better than right? If you lay the baby mostly in the sink, with its head and feet sticking on of either side, it'd probably work OK. Just make sure it's not a leaking sink. Nothing's worse than a wet, smelly diaper and a wet, crying baby.
4. The toilet: Now this one could be tricky, and probably a tid insanitary, but it could definitely work. Just place that blanket you have over the toilet stool, and lay the baby across the seat. You might want to hold onto him with at least one hand at all times, though, or he might fall in. The first few times he might get kind of wet, but after a while he'd learn to sit still, I'm sure!
5. Midair: This is my personal favorite. Why put your baby in dangerous, unsanitary conditions when you can simply hold him up with one hand and use the other to do all of the necessary diaper changing. Worried your hands aren't big enough? Enlist the help of whoever enters the bathroom next. You'll have his diaper changed out of sight just like everyone wants, and he'll have a clean diaper. Everyone's a winner, right?
mistakenly step on the baby, but these things happen, right?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5

H&M shows off collection at Paris Fashion Week
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com

Last week's Paris Fashion Week hosted H&M's first runway show in eight years. While the clothing line has recently collaborated with designers such as Donatella Versace and Maison Martin Margiela, this show solely featured the store's signature label.
FASHION
Celebrities such as Ashley Olsen and Emma Roberts attended the event on the grounds of the Musee Rodin, which has been home to fashion shows for Dior, YSL and Tom Ford. The museum, which was dedicated to French sculptor Auguste Rodin, was set up into a "fantasy house." The runway circled around 15 rooms, each with its own theme.
The collection, available Sept. 5, consists of over-the-knee boots, fringe detailing, cape jackets and mohair sweaters. The color palette was mostly blacks, whites and tans, with an occasional pop of red, just like many
According to Fashiontv.com, H&M head of design Ann-Sofie Johansson says of the collection: "We call it modern drama, with a bit of tailoring, uniform inspiration, and some tomboy inspiration there too."
other designers' shows in previous days. Supermodels such as Cara Delevingne and Arizona Muse sported over-sized tops and structured jackets.
The show received positive reviews and major chatter in its previous weeks. The brand first raised eyebrows after announcing that of all fashion week locations, it chose Paris, which is known as the home for haute couture. Not only that, but actress Helen Hunt was wearing the label at the Feb. 27 Oscar awards ceremony. Fashion gurus everywhere wondered: just who does H&M think it is?

Sarah Wright discusses production of '21 and Over'
ALEX LAMB alamb@kansan.com
P
Actress Sarah Wright stars as love interest Nicole in the raucous college comedy "21 and Over," helping out party boys Miller (Miles Teller) and Casey (Skylar Astin) as they wildly celebrate the 21st birthday of their friend Jeff Chang (justin Chon). Here, Wright explains improvising with the guys, playing party games and the travel experiences that inspired her character.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN:
What sort of behind the scenes high jinks happen on the set of a movie about partying in college?
Actress Sarah Wright comes to save the guys in "21 and Over." Courtesy Relativity Media.
SARAH WRIGHT: I think the boys parted a lot off set and then also on set. But while we weren't shooting we went to a lot of concerts, and we shot in Seattle so we went to a music festival then art festivals and stuff like that around town all the time. It was a wonderful city to work in. We had a blast shooting the movie and the boys were hilarious.
UDK: How was working with them? You have a strong chemistry with them in the movie, especially Skvlar.
SW: It was great! We did a couple chemistry reads together, so Miles was cast and chemistry read Skylar, then Skylar was cast and he chemistry read me. So in those scenes, we were able to sort of play around and get know each other. (Co-writers/directors) Jon (Lucas) and Scott (Moore) were very open to us improving and trying our own stuff in there, and I think when we did that we were able to learn what each of us was capable of. We could sort of pick at each other, our scenes were sort of snarky, in a fun way, like be sarcastic with each other. But it was nice, it definitely bonded us by doing those first few chemistry reads together.
UDK: Talk about your 21st birthday. Do you have any particular stories about how you celebrated?
SW: I wish I had some cool story about my 21st birthday, but I don't. I lived in Chicago when I was 18, 19, 20, and I traveled to different places in Europe, and I lived in Greece, and I lived in Japan for three months. So I feel like I kind of had those times, like at a concert all night long, and then coming home and eating pizza rolls and ranch dressing, and nursing a hangover at a diner. There's this amazing diner in Chicago called the Palace Grill, and we would go there early in the morning after a night out and we would eat like, french fries with feta cheese on them, and hamburgers, and fish sandwiches, and anything that would help. And that was sort of my partying experience when I was living there, but my 21st birthday was very boring! I was just eating sushi and drinking sake. It was sort of past the time of my partying stage.
UDK: What were you doing in Japan at that time?
SW: I was modeling. I traveled around modeling when I was young, like 16, 17, 18 years old. I did Japan, Greece and a number of other places. That's what I was doing in Chicago as well.
UDK: Okay, so I can definitely see how that plays into your character wanting to travel the world.
SW; For sure. I felt like I related a lot to Nicole because of that. My parents were always very open for me to do whatever was thrown at me. And when I told them at 16 that I wanted to go live in Japan for three months they were like, "Umm...well okay" and they tried to find some sort of traction with that. So my dad took me there and was there for four days, and when he left I was balling my eyes out. Then I had three months ahead of me and at 16 that's pretty scary. So I fell in love with traveling. I think I spent the first month partying and the second month going to concerts, and then the third month I was learning about the culture. There was a whole transition. Then
that made me sort of fall in love with Nicole, this character, because I spent a lot of time when I was growing up traveling, and sort of trying to find out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life out there.
UDK; And the other part of your character certainly seems to be about embracing that spontaneous side. How have you done that in your own life, besides modeling? In career and acting opportunities?
SW: I auditioned for my first show ("Quintuplets") when I was living in Chicago, and they asked me to come and test in L.A. So they flew me out to test and they told me that day that I booked the role in the room. And our pilot got picked up
for 22 episodes on the air for FOX and immediately was rushed into press and red carpets. And I'm from Kentucky, I grew up on a farm, so it was so weird. I was totally game though. I went through a transition, at first, I didn't really know what I was really in for. So I was never nervous when I was auditioning, like "I don't know, I guess I'm just happy to be here, and this is great! And if I get this, awesome!" And then I went into a phase of, "Oh I'm so nervous, I know what this means." But now I'm back to more a place of, "Whatever happens, happens." And I love it. Doing comedy is a passion and it makes me so happy, and if it happens, great, and if not, I'll find something else. So yeah, I definitely have that spontaneous side where
obviously I've been able to keep up with this career and not need a specific structure.
UDKi Jon Lucas and Scott Moore have plenty experience as writers ("The Hangover"), but they're first-time directors on this. And yet it really seems they knew what they were going for and how to achieve their tone effectively. How was working with them?
UDK: So what's next for you? I see you're going to be in the comedy "Walk of Shame."
SW: Yeah, we just wrapped "Walk of Shame" (last week). So that's what's been going on for me from December to just yesterday. And there's a couple pilots I have my eye on this year so maybe I'll do a pilot, we'll see.

They've been writing partners for years, and I think they just knew exactly what they wanted to do with it. I don't have this household name from doing some other movie or something, so I was surprised that I was given this opportunity. And so were Skylar and Miles and Justin. We were all kind of
like, "Wow, it's so cool we get to do this movie, and we're not really big name people." Because normally a movie like this, especially this caliber, kind of goes to that. But they wanted to cast who they wanted to cast, and they were able to do that. It was so fun to have this experience and be able to do something that you really love with two people that you really respect so much.

CHICAGO — Michelle Obama says it was "absolutely not surprising" to her that her satellite appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony provoked a national conversation about whether it was appropriate, after some conservative critics accused her of selfishly crashing the event in an attempt to upstage it.
She attributed the chatter to a culture shift that has spawned legions of bloggers, tweeters and others who talk about anything and everything all the time.
First lady takes Oscars criticism in stride
ACADEMY AWARDS
"Shoot, my bangs set off a national conversation. My shoes can set off a national conversation. That's just sort of where we are. We've got a lot of talking going on," the first lady said only somewhat jokingly Thursday before an appearance in Chicago, her hometown. "It's like everybody's kitchen-table conversation is now accessible to everybody else so there's a national conversation about anything."
Americans have long been fascinated by their first ladies, scrutinizing everything from their clothes and hair to the issues they promote and how they raise their children. Mrs. Obama acknowledged that she and President Barack Obama have added appeal, and perhaps sometimes are subject to extra scrutiny, because they are the first black family in the White House but also a young couple (she turned 49 last month; he's 51) with young children (daughters Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14).
In what was not the first-ever Oscar appearance by a first lady, Mrs. Obama was beamed live from the White House into Sunday's ceremony in Los Angeles to unseal the envelope and announce that the night's final award, for Best Picture, would go to "Argo." In 2002, Laura Bush appeared at the ceremony on videotape.
She said she doesn't give a second thought to critical comments about what she does as first lady.

Budget cuts to affect students with futures in K-12 education
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
School budget cuts, larger class sizes and a greater use of technology all mean University students returning to the classroom as K-12 educators will see a significantly different school system as teachers than they did as students.
While Kansas saw a slight increase to state K-12 funding this year, overall state funding for schools has decreased by 13.2 percent since 2007 when adjusted for inflation, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Cassie Absher, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., said that, as a result of these cuts, class sizes have increased. Absher, who aspires to teach middle school earth and space science, has observed how this makes giving attention to individual students more difficult.
"Students who struggle, who are lower performers, who have learning differences or who are English language learners are the most hurt by larger class sizes," Absher said.
Along with greater class sizes, less school funding results in decreased materials budgets and a wider wage disparity between teachers and fellow professionals, said Steven Case, director of The
Center for Science Education at the University.
"Long term, school cuts can drive teachers out," Case said. "The primary reasons people leave are because of working conditions and pay gap."
Students in the University's UKAnTeach program can pursue degrees in STEM — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — while becoming certified to teach these subjects as part of their degrees. Case said these students can teach or work in a STEM field. Teaching positions can pay between $15,000 to $20,000 less annually than a STEM job outside the education field. Case said.
Fifty percent of teachers leave after their first three years, Case said.
For Neal Doolin, a senior from Shawnee, teaching science is still his preference, even with his degree in physics. Despite a smaller salary, Doolin thinks finding a job will not be difficult, even with budget cuts.
"School districts pay new teachers less," Doolin said. "They will get a few older teachers to retire earlier and hire new teachers."
Kyle Consovler, a senior for Lawrence who is student teaching mathematics at Lawrence High
School, said he has not seen cuts drastically affect the classroom.
"White boards and dry erase markers are as available now as they were four years ago," Consovler said.
Consolver thinks teaching to the new standards for state assessments poses the biggest challenge for teachers. Kristin Capps, a senior from Lawrence who is student teaching mathematics at Free State High School, said the use of technology has increased in the classroom despite budget cuts.
"Now we have smart boards where teachers can prepare the whole lesson in a notebook file and have all of the equations or proofs written out already for the whole lesson," Capps said. "That greatly cuts down the time the teacher has their back to the students."
Despite a changing teaching environment, Capps still looks forward to being a teacher, just like her grandfather, a University alumnus, who taught for 50 years.
"I saw how easy it was for learners to understand him and trust him and I wanted to be able to have that same impact on learners too," Capps said.

International Space Station delivery overcomes difficulty
Associated Press
NATION
The Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket lifts off from launch complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla. on Friday. The rocket, which contained more than a ton of food, tools, computer hardware and science experiments, transported the Dragon capsule to the International Space Station.
STARBUCKS ROCKET LAUNCHING FROM THE STANDARD PLAZA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
To NASA's relief, the SpaceX company's Dragon capsule pulled up to the orbiting lab with all of its systems in perfect order. Station astronauts used a hefty robot arm to snare the unmanned Dragon, and three hours later, it was bolted into place.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A private Earth-to-orbit delivery service made good on its latest shipment to the International Space Station on Sunday, overcoming mechanical difficulty and delivering a lot of supplies with high-flying finesse.
The Dragon's arrival couldn't have been sweeter — and not because of the fresh fruit on board for the six-man station crew. Coming a full day late, the 250-mile-high linkup above Ukraine culminated a two-day chase that got off to a shaky, almost dead-starting.
Moments after the Dragon reached orbit Friday, a clogged pressure line or stuck valve prevented the timely release of the solar panels and the crucial firing of small maneuvering rockets. SpaceX flight controllers struggled for several hours before gaining control of the capsule and salvaging the mission.
"As they say, it's not where you start, but where you finish that counts," space station commander Kevin Ford said after capturing the Dragon, "and you guys really finished this one on the mark."
He added: "We've got lots of science on there to bring aboard and get done. So congratulations to all of you."
family orchard.
The Dragon will remain at the space station for most of March before returning to Earth with science samples, empty food containers-and old equipment.
Among the items on board: 640 seeds of a flowering weed used for research, mouse stem cells, food and clothes for the six men on board the space station, trash bags, computer equipment, air purifiers, spacewalking tools and batteries. The company also tucked away apples and other fresh treats from an employee*
This is the third time, however, that a Dragon has visited the space station. The previous capsules had no trouble reaching their destination. Company officials promise a thorough investigation into what went wrong this time; if the maneuvering thrusters had not been activated, the capsule would have been lost.
The California-based SpaceX run by billionaire Elon Musk has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to keep the station well stocked. The contract calls for 12 supply runs; this was the second in that series:
Ford said everything about Sunday's rendezvous ended up being "fantastic."
"There sure were some big smiles all around here," NASAs
Mission Control replied from Houston.
Proclaimed SpaceX on its web site: "Hanpv Berth Daw."
In a tweet following Friday's nerve-racking drama, Musk said, "just want to say thanks to (at) NASA for being the world's coolest customer. Looking forward to delivering the goods!"
Musk, who helped create PayPal, acknowledged Friday that the problem — the first ever for an orbiting Dragon — was "frightening." But he believed it was a one-time glitch and nothing so serious as to impel futile missions. The 41-year-old entrepreneur, who also runs the electric car maker Tesla, oversaw the entire operation from Hawthorne, Calif., home to SpaceX and the company's Mission Control.
The Dragon's splashdown in the Pacific, off the Southern California coast, remains on schedule for March 25.

McLemore continues to better himself with extra practice
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Every day, Ben McLemore tries to get better.
Even before he dropped a Kansas freshman record 36 points on Saturday, he bettered himself by showing up early before the game against West Virginia.
Around 10:45 a.m., McLemore walked onto Naismith Court to join sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe and Tharpe's brother Tishaun Jenkins, a former player at Division III Salem State University, in some ball handling drills.
Jenkins had seen on television that Tharpe had struggled with ball handling, so the two brothers were working things out well before the coaching staff or the student section filed into Allen Fieldhouse.
McLemore wanted to pick up some more information, especially since ball handling is something he continues to develop.
He spent 15 minutes learning from Jenkins and Tharpe. He listened. He processed the information. By the end of the quick tutorial, he was circling around the Jayhawk at the center court, dribbling the basketball with a smile on his face and a new-found confidence.
Every day McLemore wants to improve.
"With him working like that it's going to pay off," Tharpe said. "It's definitely paying off this year all the way around. He's going to shoot the ball well. Once he gets it going we've got to find him as much as we can. He was stroking the ball well tonight. It was nice to see."
Tharpe isn't the only one who notices McLemore punching his card so much.
Senior guard Elijah Johnson has his pulse on this team better than any player, and even he admits that he can learn from a player of McLemore's caliber and maturity.
"I love this kid, man and I never tell him," Johnson said. "I think he knows, but I've learned a lot from him. I could honestly say I've learned a lot from him."
"You would think he's the worst player in the gym the way he works every day. I feel like he's a calm, cool dude on and off the court. He's always in a good mood. He's always pumping energy into us."
In Saturday's contest, McLemore made 12 of his 15 shots and grabbed seven rebounds. As a testament to his range, however, McLemore also recorded four assists.
What separates McLemore from many players is his effortless flow on the court. He doesn't force anything. He just plays the game.
"You worry about the things you can control and the uncontrollable things will be much easier," coach Bill Self said on Saturday. "He was focused in and he wants to score and all those things, but he can do so many other things to help our team win."
McLemore's performance on Saturday also marked him as the first freshman in Kansas history with three games of 30-plus points in a season.
But the statistics are not the most impressive part of McLemore's repertoire. He has earned respect from his teammates, especially since he's broken Danny Manning's freshman scoring record.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
"I personally think Ben is the person who deserves to do that out of anybody I've ever played with," Johnson said. "I'm happy for him."
LEMORE 23
10
And that's the legacy that McLemore has created. He has tried to learn as much as he can in his short college tenure, even if it's 15 minutes with a teammate and his brother.
More importantly, he wants to savor watching those who have guided him through his time at the University take the court for Senior Night tonight.
"Ben's a guy where he's coachable at anytime," Tharpe said. "He takes interest in what my brother says."
"We just got to focus on what's in front of us right now," McLemore said. "My focus is to go out there and just play ball."

Withey becomes friends with @FakeJeffWithey creator
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Jeff Withey was trying hard to keep Lawrence's biggest secret.
Kansas' star center knew the mastermind behind the @FakeJefWithey Twitter account was in Allen Fieldhouse to watch him play against Colorado on Dec. 8. He didn't know just how close he came to blowing his cover.
Of course Withey knew many other people in the crowd that day. Some of his friends had come up to watch him play and, as always, his parents were in the crowd. It was just sheer misfortune for Fake Jeff that he was seated next to Withey's mother.
"My mom is
"My mom is really nosey," Withey said. "And obviously in the Fieldhouse everyone sits very close to each other."
So when the notorious Twitter fiend started typing up his "Halftime Locker Room, Udate."
Withey's mom grabbed his arm to see what her neighbor was up to. She instantly thought her son was sending a text message from the locker room and started to scold this stranger for breaking Withey's focus.
It wasn't a coincidence, however, that Fake Jeff was seated along with Withey's family and friends After all, it was Withey who got him the tickets.
"He's one of my closest friends at KU now," Withe said of the man who controls his alter ego. But it sure didn't start off like that.
When the account first began, and it's culprit remained anonymous to Withey, the big man couldn't withe it.
"I thought it was annoying."
Withey said. "He was the complete opposite of me. I didn't want people to think of me as this sex-crazed guy."
after games to see what his biz zaro-self was up to.
Conversely,Fake Jeff never cared about getting thousands of followers. He was in it for hilarity's sake.Two years ago he had no emotional ties to Kansas' center and didn't care much about his feelings.All he saw was a lengthy man that no one knew much about.So he decided to change that.Even if he had to make it all up.
The account tweeted lewd and crude content. Everything from imaginary sexual exploits to parodies of Bill Self's pre-game speeches and even a few catchphrases — "Withey Whips His Hair Back And Forth" and "Withey Block Party" to name a few. The latter even became a website.
But as Withey became a bigger part of the jayhawks' victories, the account grew in recognition. Even Withey's teammates were getting addicted to his virtual counterpart. Soon even Withey couldn't help but check Twitter
"Fake Jeff is not like the account at all. He's really funny. I was just expecting something completely different."
In September, 2011, Fake Jeff Withey was born, loud and proud and with no shame.
Although, it didn't carry the same weight it does now. In fact, when his first tweets went unnoticed, Fake Jeff thought he might shut it down. It wasn't
until Withey
started getting ample playing time that people started to pay attention to his parody.
JEFF WITHEY senior center
"It if he was a benchwarmer it wouldn't be as popular," Fake Jeff said.
It's a little bit of an ironic sentiment because Withey doesn't know where he would be without the account.
"I feel like he's definitely made me more popular with the student body," Withey said. "It was just perfect timing."
No, perfect timing is what took place at Tonic a little more than a year ago when Fake Jeff was given a private room for tweeting about the Lawrence bar.
"It was a Saturday night and we were thinking of stuff to do," Withey said of the night he met his Twitter twin.
Withey's girlfriend was a mutual friend of Fake Jeff. When she heard he had a private room at Tonic she pushed the idea of introducing the two Jeffs in her life.
Withey ended up at the bar in what became the beginning of an unconventional friendship that can only be explained in the 21st century.
"I was expecting a crude guy that just cusses," Withey said. "Fake Jeff is not like the account at all. He's a cool guy. He's really funny. I was just expecting something completely different."
They met. They drank. They tweeted:
Fake Jeff was going over the finer points of the account, showing off some of his mentions and looking at direct messages when he proposed an idea to Withey.
"People still thought it was him,"Fake Jeff said of his identity. "I was like 'You wanna mess with them?'
The result was Withey taking a self photo from Fake Jeff's phone and tweeting it from the account. Followers went crazy. Many of Withey's fans fell for it, claiming they knew it was Withey all along.
It wouldn't be the last time Fake Jeff and Withey used the account to mess with people. Withey loves playing Fake Jeff's identity, even going as far as tricking his friends. When he first introduces them to Fake Jeff, he doesn't reveal that he runs the account until they're begging to know.
What started as an obscure night at Tonic evolved into a much more complex scenario. Fake Jeff and Withey keep running into each other.
But something happened to Fake Jeff as his friendship with Withey evolved. He found himself tweeting differently.
Where once he didn't worry about what he was putting out on Twitter he became a lot more cautious.
"I try to police it myself cause I know he's not going to say anything." Fake Jeff said.
Even as he watches games, Fake Jeff can't get into his normal mind-set. He's too worried about watching his friend play. When Kansas went to double overtime against Oklahoma State, Fake Jeff couldn't even look at Twitter.
"It is really weird," Withey said of his friendship. "When I first met him I thought I wouldn't like the guy. I thought he perceived me the wrong way. I had to lighten up a little bit. As I got to know who he was I definitely trusted him."
Perhaps it's Fake Jeff who should be less trusting of Withey. Now that he knows his identity, it makes it harder for Fake Jeff to reveal himself when he wants to. He knows he won't continue tweeting when Withey leaves Kansas, but his grand finale is still a mystery.
For now, there's just a barrage of close calls. Fortunately forFake Jeff, Withey's parents never found out who they were sitting next to while their son dominated Colorado. AlthoughWithey isn't sure it would have mattered.
"She would be shocked." Withey said of his mom's probable reaction. "I don't think she would take it too serious. She'd probably just hit him on the shoulder and ask why he didn't tell her earlier."

The Kansas band dresses up in tuxedos. Roses and framed jerseys are placed at the center of James Naismith Court. After the game, a microphone gets passed around to four different players to make their last few memories in Allen Fieldhouse.
Senior night for the Kansas men's basketball team is truly special.
Tears may be shed. Coach Bill Self might have to place a time limit on a speech.
Still, every senior has a chance to leave their mark.
The thing is, the four seniors not only have left a lasting impression with this program, but they exceed expectations.
Senior forward Kevin Young joined Kansas a few years ago. A transfer from Loyola-Marymount was undersized. A role player that was just supposed to relieve former forward Thomas Robinson when in foul trouble or keep the seat warm for freshman Perry Ellis.
He is the straw that stirs the Kansas drink. Diving after loose balls, getting offensive rebounds and slam dunking the ball all compliment the play of the other senior big man: Jeff Withey.
The 7-foot tall transfer from the University of Arizona was known as an athletic big man who needed some work. Withey wasn't big enough to bang down low in the post, fouled plenty, suffered injuries and lacked offensive prowess.
A big question before the season started was if Withey could control the paint after Thomas Robinson left.
Speaking of defense, senior guard Travis Releford seems like he's been at Kansas for more than five years.
The Kansas career shot-block leader answered that question with a performance worthy of a spot on the All-American first team. No other player will have drove of students forming their hands into a "W" after a block.
Releford played right away as a freshman and showed his defensive capabilities, but he had no shot-making ability and was constantly in Self's doghouse.
Surely Kansas couldn't succeed this season if * only had two shooters that could make jumpshots.
And then there is the fascinating story of senior guard Eliah Johnson.
Johnson always had the ability to be a great player, but early in his career transferring was a rumored option. After coming off a knee injury and a strong NCAA tournament run, fans had high expectations for the leader.
No longer does Kansas have to worry about those problems, as Releford has developed into one of the most efficient scorers in the nation. Releford is still one of the best defenders, but he compliments the defense with his terrific transition offense.
The same guard who yelled, "Put your shoes on" after sinking a full court shot struggled to find his groove during Big 12 play and took the criticism from everyone.
That all changed after the most clutch road performance against Iowa State in which he scored 20 points in the last 5.32 regulation and overtime.
The road is never easy when under the spotlight of a dominant basketball program.
Still, these four players never gave excuses. Instead, they kept working and left memories that will never be forgotten.
Thanks for your hard work, seniors. You might forget us, but we will never forget you.

GEOFFREY CALVERT

Senior guard Travis Telefoon thinks it was at the postseason banquet after his second year, which he redshirts, that coach Belf Sand told him something that surprised him.
He only had 86 points to his name as a jayhawk, but Self told Releford that he could reach 1,000 points in his Kansas career.
"I was just like, wow, that crazy to think that I can accomplish that," Releford said. "From that point on, I knew he had faith in me."
As he prepares to play his final home game Monday at 6 p.m. against Texas Tech, Releford owns the most career points in a Kansas uniform by any of the four members of Kansas' senior class.
Releford has 880 career points, five more than senior point guard Elijah Johnson. Senior forward Kevin Young has 1,004 points, but 658 of them came at Loyola Marymount before he transferred to Kansas.
About three years after Self made his prediction to Releford, the senior finds himself within reach of 1,000 points. He's averaging 12.2 points per game this season. If Kansas makes it to the Big 12 Tournament final and the NCAA Tournament final, Releford can reach 1,000 points by averaging exactly 12 points per game over that span, starting tonight.
While Releford said he always felt he had the talent to reach 1,000 points, he didn't believe Self when he told Releford he could reach the benchmark.
"I mean, not really I didn't because it was like how can I get that many points if I'm not playing?" Releford said. "I was young when I heard him say that so it was just like, what, you think I can get that? I always felt that I could go and play and maybe reach and get 1,000 points. But at the time when he said that I wasn't playing much so it kind of confused me."
Releford had plenty of reason to doubt Self at the time. He averaged seven minutes per game as a freshman, and decided to redshift in 2009-2010 because there weren't going to be any minutes available
for him with the addition of swingman freshman Xavier Henry.
But even entering his sophomore season in 2010, he had to wait behind a stacked rotation of guards, averaging only 3.6 minutes per game.
When Kansas lost Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed, Josh Selby and Mario Little, among other guards and swingmen, before Releford's junior campaign last year, he finally had the opportunity to begin to prove Self right, and show the fans why he never let the idea of transferring become more than just brief flickers across his mind.
"I think it would have crossed any kid's mind in my situation," Releford said. "But I told myself coming into school that if I had to sit out or didn't play as much as I wanted to I'm going to prove to the coach, to myself that I belong here."
He's more than proved himself this year. Releford has scored in double figures in 22 of 29 games this season, and his 12.2 points per game are third-best on the team. He's shooting 59 percent from the field, the best in the Big 12 Conference. Discounting his 0-11 streak from 3-point range in the first three games of the season, he is making 51 percent of his 3-point attempts.
"Travis has been better than what I even thought he would be." Self said. "He's been great, as evidenced the other night the way he played in Ames. He was fabulous."
That night in Ames, one week ago today, Releford contributed 19 points on 6-12 shooting, including 5-9 from 3-point range. In the final 11 minutes of regulation, Releford showed how valuable his versatility is to Kansas.
He hit a 3-pointer and missed another, but then got the assist when the Jayhawks got the offensive rebound and he passed it to senior guard Elijah Johnson for a 3-pointer. He assisted on another Johnson 3-pointer, and hit two free throws after rebounding his own missed shot and drawing a foul.
else. I think he gives us an element of toughness probably as good as
"He's probably the personality of our team more than anybody else," Self said. "He's probably the glue to our team as much as anybody
that a lot of teams weren't able to do. Although we've had three or four lottery picks on certain teams I think that this team can do something that we haven't been able to do before."
"I think this is a special group," Johnson said. "Not the most talented, but definitely probably one of the toughest. I think that we can go far. I think we can do something
— or better than — anybody else. He's as valuable to our team as any of the guys we've had on our team without question."
It's probably no surprise, then, that Releford is part of what Johnson called the toughest group he's been a part of at Kansas.
The Jayhawks will honor Releford and the other three seniors' value Monday night after playing the Red Raiders in the second-to-last game of the regular season.
Although Kansas can usually count on Releford for a consistent basketball performance night in and night out, he said he has no
idea what he'll say during his senior speech. But he isn't trying to compete with Wayne Simien's 25-minute Senior Day speech in 2005.
"I think I'm going to break the record for the shortest speech ever because I don't like doing all the talking," Releford said. "It's just going to be a fun, fun, fun, fun game and fun environment to be in."

Jayhawks go 2-2 against Eastern Michigan
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN

After sweeping Eastern Michigan in a doubleheader on Saturday, Kansas fell behind early on Sunday and had to play catch up the entire game in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Kansas sophomore pitcher Drew Morovick, who filled in for senior Tanner Poppe, got off to a good start with three strikeouts in two innings. But the tide shifted after he got into a jam in the second inning and could not control batters early in the fifth innning.
"I thought when he had the ball in the zone, he was really good," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "He just kind of got out of the rhythm and couldn't find his release on it. That got him into a lot of trouble."
Morovick, who was charged with his first loss of the season, allowed seven hits and four runs. He was pulled in the fifth inning.
but that did not stop the Eagles' offence from hitting a stride.
Kansas allowed a season-high 11 runs in Sunday's loss. The Jayhawks tried to respond on offense, but faced problems of its own as Eastern Michigan sophomore pitcher Paul Schaak finished with six strikeouts in nearly five innings.
But the opportunities were there for the Jayhawks. They scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to make it a two-run game going into the seventh inning. In the end, Kansas left as many as 10 players on base, but was limited in its attempt to comeback.
After going 2-2 on the series, Kansas is now 6-5 on the season with all of its games this season
"We had our stances with guys in scoring position," senior third baseman Jordan Dreiling said. "We were maybe a couple of clutch hits away from tying the game up and putting us in a good position to win, but our offense struggled."
being on the road. Kansas used five pitchers from the bulpen and had to put sophomore right fielder Dakota Smith as a pitcher in the ninth inning.
Price said that in the four games the team played, there were two innings total from this weekend that set them back and allowed Eastern Michigan to prevail. Those two innings cost Kansas two victories; now the Jayhawks are looking to play better at home.

After having to push back its home opener the past two weekends due to winter weather, Kansas expects to host its first game at Hoglund Ballpark on Thursday against Niagara in a four-game series.
"Wed like to come out with at least three wins," Drreiling said. "We need to get after this week, then get ready for Big 12 play."

Travis Releford
AT KANSAS
YEARS: 2008-2013
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Travis Releford is one of the best, if not the best, glue guy during Bill Self's tenure at Kansas. He entered the starting lineup at the beginning of last season and his defense was one of the key reasons Kansas reached the national title game. This season he averages 12.2 points per game and leads the Big 12 conference with 59 percent shooting from the field. His improved outside shooting has helped compensate when other guards have struggled offensively.
ACCOLADES
- Scoreed a career-high 28 points at Oklahoma on Jan. 7, 2012; a 72-61 victory
- Started for USA Basketball's Men's U18 National Team in the summer of 2008. He averaged 7.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game for the silver-medalists at
the 2008 FIBE Americas U18 Championship.
the 2008 FIBA Americas Championship
*Joined Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson as the only Jayhawks to score in every game for Kansas last season.*
- Has fouled out only three times in his Kansas career.
BEFORE KANSAS
Releford attended Bishop Miege High School in Roeland Park, Kan., where he averaged 24.1 points and six rebounds per game as a senior. He earned high school All-American honors twice. He was named the Gatorade Kansas boys' basketball player of the year in 2008 and was the Eastern Kansas League player of the
year in 2007 and 2008.
DEFINING MOMENT
In the fifth game of the season this year against Saint Louis, Releford scored 21 points in the first half, finishing with 23 points as senior center Jeff Withey took over the offensive load in the second half. Releford's 23 points
are the second most in his career for a single game.
He made four of seven 3-pointers that day, helping to establish his rhythm behind the arc that has continued all season.

Jeff Withey will go down as one of the best big men to come through Kansas. That's not easy in a program that boasts a top front court every year in college basketball. No other Jayhawk can claim to equal Withey's transformation. He came to Kansas a scrawny 7-footer that seemed afraid to touch the ball and leaves as the Jayhawks all-time shot blocker. It was once a struggle for Withey to get on the floor, now it's impossible to imagine him off it.

DEFINING MOMENT
After averaging 20 points, 13 rebounds and seven blocks per game his senior season at Horizon High School in San Diego, Withey began his college career
to turn his career around.
There's no question Withey was still a work in progress during his junior year. He had only averaged 6.2 minutes per game before taking over the starting role at center. But all doubt seemed to wash away when Withey went to Manhattan and smacked around the Wildcats. His 11 rebounds, nine blocks and 18 points solidified him as a force for the Jayhawks and his confidence and playing ability was never again questioned.

Kevin Young will be remembered as one of the most liked players on the University's campus in recent memory. A member of the 2012 national championship title game team, Young made a name for himself this year as the starting power forward. He's averaged 7.7 points and 6.9 rebounds while helping Kansas as they move toward a ninth straight conference title.

His freshman year at Loyola Marymount, he broke the school freshman record for rebounds and rebounds per game. After a difficult sophomore season, Young transferred to Barstow and San Bernardino College before becoming a Jayhawk
in 2011.
DEFINING MOMENT
One of Young's biggest contributions during his Kansas career was Ohio State game on December 10, 2011. Taking advantage of an absent Jared Sullinger, Young found an open matchup against the Buckeyes and lofted up a season-high 14 points including a couple 3-pointers that brought Kansas fans to their feet. Young was not a big contributor to last season's team, but when they needed him to step up he did just so several times throughout this season and the last.

Unselfish play allows McLemore to break record
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
It was one of those games where, at some point, all the baskets just start to look the same.
Freshmanguard Ben McLemore, who is already squared up to the basket, receives the ball somewhere behind the 3-point line. Nominally, McLemore shoots the ball, but really he creates art with that smooth jump shot. Allen Fieldhouse is just his canvas.
"I personally think that Ben is probably the person who deserves to do that out of anybody I ever played with," Johnson said. "You would think that he was the worst player in the gym the way he approaches it every day."
After the game, Johnson reinforced Self's point.
Unlike the last time the Kansas freshman scoring record was broken, Self got to enjoy this one. Manning scored 35 points in 1985 in an 88-79 victory over an Oklahoma State team that featured Self, a senior at the time. Coincidentally, both Manning and McLemore's freshman records came on March 2.
"I played the backline of the 2-3 zone," Self said. "I think he got like 20 on me, but not all 35." McLemore finished with 19 points in the first half. Seven of those points came from free throws. His half was visually quiet until a tomahawk dunk along the baseline with a minute left in the first half. The dunk was almost identical to the one he had the previous Saturday against TCU.
On Thursday, coach Bill Self said one of the things he likes about this Kansas team is how unselfish it is. The seniors are more than happy to let McLemore get his points because he's the jayhawk's most skilled player.
"He did a good job reading screens today, but we also did a good job screening for him," coach Bill Self said. "We ran some stuff to make sure to get Ben the first opportunity to get some looks and we need to probably do more of that. We've done it, but he's starting to understand more how to free himself."
No one could accuse him of a quiet second half, however. He shot 7-8 from the field and 3-3
McLemore broke Danny Manning's freshman single-game school record of 35 points, besting the Jayhawk legend with a jumper with 5:37 left that gave him 36 points in Kansas' 91-65 victory over West Virginia Saturday. He became the first Jayhawk freshman to score 30 points three times in a season.
"Elijah just kept feeding me and I made open shots," McLemore said. Johnson did most of the feeding Saturday, finishing with 10 assists to complement his 12 points.

from behind the arc in the final half. For the game, McLemore shot 12-15 and 5-6 from 3-point range to improve Kansas' record to 25-4 and 13-3 in the Big 12.

Relay places second at Big 12 Championship
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
The Kansas 400-yard relay team earned second place to lead the Jayhawks on the last day of the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship. The team, which consists of seniors Brooke Brull and Svetla Golovchun, junior Morgan Sharp and freshman Haley Molden, shaved more than six seconds off its time from the preliminaries to earn 34 points.
Kansas freshman Chelsie Miller was also named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year after the meet. In addition to Friday's second place finish in the 400-yard individual medley, she placed fourth in Saturday's 1650-yard freestyle and 200-yard butterfly events.
"Chelsi pulled off an amazing double, finishing fourth in the 1,650-yard freestyle and then 45 minutes later hopping up on the blocks and having a season-best time in and finishing fourth in the 200-yard butterfly," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said in a news release. "She really showed the conference how tough of an athlete she is."
This effort from the relay team, combined with the 10 other top-eight finishes from the team, helped Kansas climb from last place into fourth place. Texas won with 1051 points,
West Virginia finished in second with 576 points and TCU finished third with 574 points, while Kansas finished fourth with 540.5 points. Iowa State fell to last place with 486.5 points.
Texas once again took home most of the first place honors, winning five out of seven events. West Virginia senior Rachael Burnett won her third freestyle race in as many days, with this one coming in the 1650-yard freestyle event. West Virginia senior Mandie Nugent earned a first-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly. This event was an anomaly though, as the top-finish in the race for Texas was 13th.
Kansas had a strong performance in the 1650 yard freestyle with three swimmers placing in the top eight. Miller led the charge with a fourth place finish and a time of 16 minutes, 26.33 seconds. Junior Alison Moffit finished in seventh place with a time of 16 minutes, 38.83 seconds. Senior teammate Rebecca Swank finished in eighth place with a 16 minute, 53.15 second time.
The members of the 400-yard freestyle relay team produced strong individual performances as well. Brull took home seventh place in the 200-yard backstroke. In the 100-yard freestyle, Golovchun placed sixth, Molden placed in ninth and
Sharp finished in 11th place.
Other strong swimming performances for the Jayhawks came in the 200-yard breaststroke. Junior Alison Lusk placed sixth and freshman Bryce Hinde was seventh. In the 200-yard butterfly, Miller finished in fourth place and sophomore Deanna Marks finished behind her in fifth.
On the boards, senior Christy Cash earned a career-high 242.85 points in the platform event to earn a fourth place finish. Texas divers once again placed first, second and third.
The final day of competition meant eight collegiate careers are coming to an end. The season concluded with the team matching its fourth-place finish from last year, and regaining ground from an early disqualification on the first day.
"We were better than we ever have been and we finished on a very high note," Campbell said in a news release. "I am so proud of the team and how resilient they were at bouncing back from the first day disqualification. We definitely built momentum and finished on a really high note."

Kansas golfer has best play of season in Wyoming tourney
CHRIS HYBL chybl@kansan.com
Kansas men's golf coach Jamie Bermel only had a few things to be happy about after his team's 12th-place finish at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate last week, and sophomore transfer Stan Gautier — who recorded his best performance of the 2012-2013 season — was one of them.
"I'm real happy for Stan from last week; he played good." Bermel said. "Chris Gilbert played well, and we were just hit and miss with the last three."
"A big part of his performance is what he did in the room," Bermel said. "He is a little stronger than he was in the fall. He hits the ball eight to 10 yards farther. His consistency is a little better, and I think his frame of mind is much better."
Gautier led the Jayhawks with a top-16 finish and a two over score for the tournament. Gautier shot below his season average in each of the tournament's rounds, a result of offseason training.
Gautier didn't exceed Bermel's expectations last fall, but Gautier is on track to do so this spring.
Gautier and the Jayhawks get their second crack at the 2013 schedule today in Lafayette, La., at the Louisiana Classics Invitational. Bermel has changed the lineup again for this week, replacing last week's tournament participants, juniors Bryce Brown and Rley Haas, with senior Alex Gutesha and sophomore Dylan McClure. Gautier, senior Chris Gilbert and freshman Jackson Foth will round out the Kansas five.
The Jayhawks will be one of 14 tournament participants, four of which are ranked in the Golfweek Top 50.
"He didn't have too many good finishes last fall," Bermel said. "It was OK, but nothing like he finished in Palm Desert. So I'm thinking he'll build on that and give himself more confidence. It just seems like he has a lot more confidence in his game, and I think it'll carry over into the tournament as well."
"I like playing against as many
"We are actually playing a little Saturday and a practice round on Sunday, and I think that'll help us get used to the grass that we don't typically put on very often," Bermel said. "The more you play it, the more you get to know the nuances and the breaks."
different teams as we can," Bermel said. "It helps you see how you stack up against all the teams and not just a certain area of teams in the country."
Kansas arrived in Lafayette on Saturday to begin preparation for Monday and Tuesday's 54-hole event at Oakbourne Country Club. The course's bermuda grass is an uncommon playing surface for the Jayhawks, but Bermel thinks the early arrival will help.
The Jayhawks will begin with 36 holes on Monday.

Kansas earns 4-1 record in weekend Wolfpack Challenge
CHRIS SCAEDER

The Jayhawks hit a stride on the first three games of the tournament. The Jayhawks had everything working for them as they notched a 17-0 victory against North Carolina A&T a 12-0 victory against Stony Brook and a 20-0 victory against Lafayette. The offense was explosive and the pitching was solid throughout the first three games of the tournament.
After three dominating performances to start the weekend, the Kansas softball team split their final two games to finish the weekend 4-1 in the Wolfpack Challenge.
"I thought we were phenomenal today. Both pitchers did extremely well and controlled the game..."
The Jayhawks kept the dominant pitching and hot bats going against Stony Brook in their second game on Friday. For the second time the Kansas pitching staff came just one single shy of throwing a no hitter. Sophomore Alicia Pille tossed her 10th career shutout while the offense was still potent, leading to a 12-0 victory.
"I thought we were phenomenal today," said coach Megan Smith. "Both pitchers did extremely well and controlled the game from the
MEGAN SMITH Kansas coach
The hot bats carried over to
Maggie Hull's second grand slam of the season and freshman Kelsey Kessler's career high 11 strikeouts was the story against North Carolina A&T. The 17 runs were the most by a Kansas team since a 2011 17-7 win over Bethune-Cookman. All but one of the Jayhawks' starters recorded a hit in the game. Junior Ashley Newman and freshman Alex Hugo both recorded three hit games, while Hugo blasted her fifth home run of the season. Kessler was dominant in the circle with 11 strikeouts while only allowing one hit en route to her first career shutout.
beginning to the end, and our offense put on a display today. It was fun to watch."
Pille tossed a season high 10 strikeouts while allowing no walks and carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning. The Jayhawks possess the capability to have huge innings, and that's exactly what they had in an eight-run second inning. Alex Hugo belted her second homerun of the day and sixth of the season, and senior Maggie Hull went 3-for-4 and collected two RBIs. That brings Hull's career total to 124 RBIs, which is 11 shy of the current record.
sried over to the first game on Saturday. Senior right fielder Rosie Hull crushed two home runs and grabbed four RBIs en route to a school record of 20 runs for the Jayhawks. Alex Hugo went
3-for-3 while hitting her third homerun in as many games to give her a team-leading seven home runs on the season. Sophomore catcher Maddie Stein got into the power hitting swing by knocking her first home run of the season, giving KU five home runs for the game. The pitching was still solid as the Jayhawks received a combined shutout from Alex Jones and Morgan Druhan. Jones pitched the first two innings and Druhan came in and completed the shutout.
The Jayhawks played North Carolina State on Saturday evening, the teams' third meeting of the season. Four home runs by the Wolfpack gave NC State the advantage and a 5-2 victory over Kansas.
"The first three games we played extremely well in every aspect and we came up against NC State on Saturday night, a really good team with a really good pitcher and we battled them," Smith said. "Even though it was a 5-2 game, it was close, and we also left 14 runners on base."
Although five Kansas players
had two hits in the game, the 14 runners left on base hurt the Jayhawks in their attempt to come back from a 5-0 deficit through four innings.
Kansas scored a run in the fifth and seventh innings, but were unable to match the home runs by NC State.
Junior second baseman Ashley Newman and senior Mariah Montgomery drove in the only runs for Kansas and Pille gave four hits over three innings, with three of them being home runs.
After losing a tough game to NC State, the Jayhawks rebounded on Sunday morning and defeated Stony Brook 7-1 in the team's second meeting of the weekend.
Pille was sensational on the hill for Kansas, striking out a seasonhigh 12 batters and giving up only one earned run over a complete game. The only earned run given up by Pille came in the top of the fourth when she gave up a solo homerun to Shayla Giosia of Stonv Brook.
Maggie Hull and Stein led the way offensively with two RBIs apiece and Pille's performance prevented Stony Brook from gaining any offensive momentum.
Smith said that the Wolfpack Challenge was a success for her team.
"Obviously we are disappointed because we weren't able to defeat NC State, but it was a successful weekend because we dominated all the other opponents and we were extremely competitive in the NC State game." Smith said. "I saw a lot of improvement from the team this weekend and I hope to see that as the season continues."
Kansas travels to Boca Raton, Fla., next weekend for the Florida Atlantic Tournament where they will play against Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, Ball State, Louisiana-Monroe and Florida Atlantic.

KU
AT A GLANCE
Kansas welcomes the Texas Tech Red Raiders to town who are 10-17 overall and 3-13 in Big 12 play. Kansas won the first matchup in Lubbock with a score of 60-46. Kansas had four players score in double figures, led by senior forward Kevin Young with 14 points. Kansas leads the overall series record with a 23-4 record.

PLAYER TO WATCH
It's hard to
It's hard to pick one player to watch on a night like Senior Night, but it feels appropriate to choose the local guy from Kansas City, Mo. Releford has put in
MUNSAH SAMADHI
Releford
an immense amount of work and effort to get where he is now. He will savor this moment, but will remember that there's much more for this team to accomplish before everything is said and done.
QUESTION MARK
What are you expecting from the Senior Night speeches?
Like every senior night, no one actually knows, none of the players are big speakers, but expect some thoughtful words and, of course, some tears. It's a special senior night with all four players spending the majority of their season as starters, which is not always the case. It will be a memorable moment for any Kansas fan that's been following the players closely the last four years.
Mascot
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas keeps doing what they do. The Jayhawks are in a serious rhythm right now, expect them to continue to be that way until they are challenged by a talented group of players. Expect these Jayhawks in this game, just too much emotion for any team to come in and win at Allen on Senior Night.

BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
What hasn't been written about Ben McLemore? That line has been used by a lot of people lately, and it's starting to become true. The freshman from St. Louis continues to be the most talented player on campus since Paul Pierce, and he might be better. He's unselfish, gifted and cares about this program. He wants to be remembered as someone who an impact helped not only himself, but also his teammate make a memory that will rest in the rafters for years to come.
★★★★
Releford continues to be this year's version of Nick Collison. Maybe not putting up the same numbers, but as far as consistent effort every single game, there is no one better. He's the best defender. He's great in transition. More importantly, he's an unselfish teammate who will do what's best for the program. That's what he'd done his whole career, and that's why it will pay off for him in the long run when the NBA Draft comes calling in June.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Johnson had another fantastic performance against West Virginia on Saturday going for 12 points and 10 assists, but also putting down a one-handed dunk that brought his second "Too Strong" moment of the week. Johnson is playing with supreme confidence at the moment, and it does not look like he will be stopping anytime soon. He's a player who drives the engine of this team. Don't look for that to change anytime soon.
★★★★★
C. J. MURRAY
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
One of the best glue guys in recent Kansas memory, Young is another fan favorite not just for his Afro, but also for his love for the game. There's not another player on the roster who appreciates the history and tradition of this program more than him. He's also grateful for the opportunity Kurtis Townsend gave him two years ago. He's taken advantage of it and now has a promising future in whatever he decides to do after this season.
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD
★★★★☆
★★★☆☆
Withey
Withey was robed of a triple-double on Saturday, so expect him to create another major moment for his senior night. The native of San Diego, Calif., Withey continues to show why his candidacy for First Team All-American is completely legitimate. Withey is a player who came into Kansas after a difficult time at Arizona, but he will leave as one of the best Kansas centers in the last 10 years. Let's hope the students enjoy waving the "W" for the last time at home.

AT A GLANCE
With its 72-63 victory against TCU on Saturday, Texas Tech broke a nine-game losing streak and a skid where it lost 13 of its last 14 games. Junior forward Jaye Crockett leads the Red Raiders in scoring at 12 points per game, even though he comes off the bench. No other player averages in double figures scoring for Texas Tech. The Red Raiders have secured the ninth seed for the Big 12 Tournament
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jaye Crockett, forward
Crockett
Crockett
Despite not starting, Crockett leads the Red Raiders with 12 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Despite only scoring four points Saturday against TCU, Crockett has
scored in double figures in four of Texas Tech's past five games. He is one of three rotation players to shoot more than 50 percent from the field for the season.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Red Raiders take care of the ball?
Kansas struggled to take care of the ball for the early part of conference play, but the exception came at Texas Tech in early January. Kansas committed only nine turnovers while coercing the Red Raiders into 16 turnovers. The Jayhawks outscored Texas Tech 12-4 on the fast break that game. If the Red Raiders want to at least hang around in Allen Fieldhouse, it can't concede transition baskets.
TOMY
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
PREDICTION:
Senior Night emotions affect the Jayhawks. Kansas has played some of its best basketball of the year during its current six-game winning streak. Texas Tech's best opportunity to win the game, or at least make it a closer game than Kansas wanted, is to hope that the Kansas seniors will be distracted by the fact they are playing their last home game.

Chiefs acquire quarterback from San Francisco
When Jay Glazer of FOX Sports announced last week that the Kansas City Chiefs and
San Francisco 49ers agreed to send Alex Smith to Kansas City in a deal that will be official on March 12, the Chiefs became the center of attention in the NFL.
It's no secret that the Chiefs were desperate for a quarterback. General manager John Dorsey came away with Smith in a trade in which the Chiefs will send a 2013 second-round pick and another pick in the 2014 draft. But some football fans in Kansas City aren't sold and think Dorsey gave up too much for Smith.
By Farzin Vousoughian
fyousoughian@kansan.com
Smith's first four seasons in the league don't even come close to his last four seasons. Smith improved in 2009 and flourished in 2011 and 2012 under Jim Harbaugh. His performance in 2011 played a part in helping the 49ers reach the NFC Championship that season.
Unlike the trade for Matt Cassel in 2009, the Chiefs traded for Smith based off his success from the past four years.
Cassel was brought for having just one good year with the New England Patriots and a connection with the general manager at the time.
In Smith's last two seasons with the 49ers, he threw 30 touchdowns and committed only 13 turnovers in 25 starts. With Smith under center, the Chiefs have a chance to be one of the top offenses in the league in 2013.
Smith will work with running back Jamal Charles, who led the AFC in rushing yards last season. If the Chiefs re-sign Dwayne Bowe, he could go back to his
2010 form if he can establish a strong rapport with Smith on the field.
Along with Charles and Bowe as top offensive weapons, Smith has tight end Tony Moeaki and wide receiver Dexter McCluster in his arsenal of offensive weaponry. And with Kansas City owning the No. 1 pick in the draft, it is likely that Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Jooekel will defend Smith's blind side.
To top off all the great things Smith has in Kansas City, Andy Reid will be his head coach. Although Reid never won a Super Bowl with Philadelphia, he's compiled an impressive 140-102-1 record since 1999, including postseason games.
The Chiefs front office thought it wasn't worth the risk to take a quarterback in the draft, because of the lack of talent. But they see a lot of promise in Smith, who will be 29 when the season begins, and think he can help turn the Chiefs around.
KU
Despite winning only two games, the Chiefs have a lot of pieces in place. The
biggest piece missing from the puzzle was a quarterback. Smith will take advantage of the talent surrounding him in Kansas City, where the Chiefs will go from being the worst team in the league to one of the most exciting teams to watch in 2013.
Chiefs fans may not be excited now, but when football season is underway, Dorsey will be praised for pulling the trigger and trading for Smith.

Royals undefeated in spring training
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Alex Gordon insists his swing still needs refining even though his spring training statistics indicate it is just fine.
Gordon homered, Mike Moustakas stroked two doubles to raise his average to .579 and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 Sunday to remain undefeated in 10 spring training games.
Gordon is hitting .500, but the home run to right-center off Tony Cingrani was his first extra-base hit.
"I was taking a lot of pitches early on," Gordon said. "I just decided if I get a first pitch fastball I was going to go after it, and I put a pretty good swing on it. It feels
good to get a good swing.
"I really haven't been swinging it too well even though my numbers might show it, but I really haven't felt that good." Gordon added. "That definitely felt better to have a result like that."
Gordon, who has won back-to-back Gold Gloves, led the majors with 51 doubles last season.
"Results do matter, but every spring training stats are always a little bit higher than they should be," Gordon said. "So it's just about feeling good and feeling comfortable and that's where I'm trying to get. I'm not there yet. We still have a month left, so I'll just keep going at it."
The Royals improved to 9-0-1, the only undefeated team in the majors this spring.
"That's pretty impressive,"
Gordon said. "We might as well go out and try to win a game and that's what we're doing. Hopefully we can continue it and carry that over."
Moustakas doubled in the fourth and scored on Max Ramirez's single. Gordon led off the fifth with a single, stole second and scored on Moustakas' one-out double.
Reds starter right-hander Homer Bailey allowed one single in two scoreless innings, logging five of his six outs by strikeout.
Royals right-hander Wade Davis pitched three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out three. He has pitched five scoreless innings in winning his first two starts.
"I'm throwing my changeup more," Davis said. "I probably threw 10 today and I had a couple of ground balls and some bad swings on it. That's a good thing. I'm definitely encouraged by that."
"It could be six out of six." Bailey said and laughed. "Strikeouts kind of come and go. I don't worry about those too much. I like outs. I still try to strike everybody out. If they happen to put it in play in the first couple of pitches, I don't quite get there.
Colon, Xavier Nady and Brandon Wood in a four-run sixth.
The Royals got three consecutive pinch-hit singles from Christian
"I'd like to have a few first pitch strikes, a couple of them missed by a little bit," Bailey said. "But I guess overall, pretty good. Other than that once we got into the at-bat, it came back. I pitched well."
PGA
Michael Thompson wins first PGA Tour
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Michael Thompson's dream of winning his first PGA Tour event was walking up the final fairway with a big lead and very little stress.
The reality was much different Sunday in the Honda Classic.
He had a one-shot lead as he stood in the 18th fairway, some 240 yards from the flag with trouble in the way in the shape of large lake. The motto from his golf team at Alabama was to "finish strong," and Thompson did just that.
Instead of laying up, he drilled a 5-wood into the bunker left of the green, setting up a simple sand shot and a birdie he didn't even need. He closed with a 1-under 69, one of only five rounds under par on a punishing day at PGA National to finally become a PGA Tour winner.
"That for me kind of sealed the deal," Thompson said. "It allowed me to walk up the fairway and enjoy the experience, see the crowd and ... just finish strong."
The start wasn't bad, either.
Thompson holed a 50-foot eagle putt on the third hole, relied on a superb short game around the toughest part of the golf course to build a four-shot lead, and hung on for a two-shot win over Geoff Ogilvy that takes him places he always wanted to be.
And to think just two weeks ago he was so down after a 78-80 performance at Riviera that he wondered if he would ever make another cut.
He gets into his first World Golf Championship next week at Doral, and qualifies for two more WGCs this year at Firestone and in Shanghai. He's in the PGA Championship, gets to start next year in Hawaii and earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
"This week was magical," Thompson said. "Just had a groove and kept feeling it."
It turned out to be a big week for Ogilvy, too.
The former U.S. Open champion missed his past four cuts and had plunged to No. 79 in the world ranking. He already missed the Match Play Championship and was ready to miss another WGC next week at Doral until putting together four solid rounds.
He chipped in for birdie behind the 16th green and two-putted for birdie on the 18th for a 69 to finish alone in second, moving him up to No. 47 to get into Doral.
"I kind of penciled in a week off," Ogilvy said. "So it's nice, and it gets me back in the mix for the Masters."
Ogilvy has to stay in the top 50 by the end of the month to return to Augusta National. For now, he has smaller problems — he only packed enough for this week.
"I'm going to have to go do some laundry," Ogilvy said. "I haven't got a hotel room for tonight. But half the tour lives in this area, so I'm sure I can find somewhere to stay."
Luke Guthrie, tied with Thompson for the 54-hole lead, fell behind with a bogey on the second hole and closed with a 73 to finish third.
Tiger Woods was never in the picture. He started the final round eight shots behind, and whatever hopes he had of a rally ended on the sixth hole when he hit his drive so far to the right that the ball was never found.
Woods took double bogey, and only an eagle on the final hole kept the damage to a minimum. He closed with a 74 - his first time since the Masters last year that he failed to break par in one round of a 72-hole tournament — and tied for 37th.
It was the second straight year Woods closed with an eagle at PGA National — the difference was last year, it gave him a 62 and a tie for second.
"I think I passed 62 somewhere around 12." Woods said.
Despite a bogey on the final hole, Erik Compton had a 70 and was part of the five-way tie for fourth. Compton, who already has had two heart transplants, earned his first top-10 finish on the PGA Tour.

At hundreds of dollars per credit hour, skipping adds up
HANNAH BARLING

As you're sleeping in and skipping that 8 a.m. class, you're wasting money. But just how much?
Students skip class for multiple reasons. They might need to finish an assignment for a class later in the day, they might be going out of town or they may just want to sleep longer. But skipping class is like throwing money away.
For a first-time freshman in 2012, annual in-state tuition (based on 30 credit hours per year) is $8.790. The cost per credit hour is $293. So skipping a lecture that meets three times per week costs you about $18.30. Skipping a three-credit class that only meets twice per week costs you about $27.40.
Someone could buy three to four fast food meals with $18. They could treat themselves to a nice dinner on Massachusetts Street or take a couple trips to the movies. About $27 could pay for a new top or, with a few more dollars, a new KU snapback hat.
Annual tuition for a first-time freshman in 2012 who is not a resident of Kansas is $22,860. The cost per credit hour is $762. If a student were to skip a class that meets three times per week, it would cost them about $47.60. Skipping a three-credit class that only meets twice per week costs about $71.40.
Michael Ciscos, a senior from Olathe, said that he never really skips class anymore because he can't afford to miss. He said that if he had that $27.40 to spend on anything, he would spend it on gourmet food or liquor.
For $47, a student could pay for about nine fast-food meals. Someone could take their boyfriend or girlfriend on a nice date with $47. A student could even buy a good quality phone case with $47. But instead of using that money to buy something extra, it's wasted on skipping class.
times per week costs her about $47. If she had her choice on what to spend that $47 dollars on, she said she would probably buy new clothes.
Smith said she did not realize skipping a class that meets three
Marian McCoy, a freshman from Lincoln, Neb., she has only skipped one class this year because she went out of town. McCoy said that the factors that play a role in her decision to skip or not are the attendance policy of the class and knowing whether they will be covering important information that day.
"I know school costs so much, but its interesting seeing it split up by class," McCoy said.
Kayla Smith, a freshman from Rosemont, Minn., said that she usually skips class to finish homework due for a class later in the day. She also said that if she's going for the weekend, she may skip class in order to stay there longer.

"If I have a test or homework due, I won't skip," Smith said. "But if I have nothing due and something due in another class, I usually skip it."

Academic Health Department aims to teach
REID EGGLESTON
reggleston@kansan.com
A call for higher public health standards and greater access to preventive care has urged the nation to action, and the City of Lawrence along with the University have followed suit.
Recently implemented by the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, KU's Academic Health Department focuses on research and teaching as means for evolving the city's approach to public health issues that pervade the community.
Following a Lawrence community health assessment in which city department programs were scrutinized for effectiveness and coverage, the health department found that receiving accreditation might come with linking the University's research in public health with the health department itself.
"One of the findings is that we need links between university and community," said Dr. Vicki Collie-Akers, associate director of the KU Work Group for Community Health. "New research findings don't necessarily trickle down to communities with time alone. This is something we need to improve. We continually need this stream of research and application to keep our community happy, active and healthy."
A year later, the Academic Health Department aims to be a teaching mechanism for those who plan to go into public health and a research institution by which to test and eventually implement
health strategies to the Lawrence community.
Five interdependent branches of the department outline the program's focuses on community health, including healthy food, mental health, healthcare access, physical activity and poverty divisions.
Collie-Akers and the rest of the KU Work Group, an amalgamation of public health experts and researchers, work under KU's Life Span Institute to design a community health toolbox, which models how public health should work at the local level, based on experimentation and data collection.
"A year ago, we did a large-scale survey about what community health did for residents of Lawrence," Collie-Akers said. "How well are parts of our health system contributing to health? We looked for hot-spots in town that had a high rate of emergency room use. For example, certain pockets heavily used the ER for dental issues. This speaks to lack of insurance. All of that info was compiled to reflect 13 high-priority health issues, and then we whittled that number down to five all-encompassing areas."
It was one of these areas — the issue of poverty — that inspired graduate research assistant Ithar Hassaballa to get involved.
Hassaballa joined the Academic Health Department last December so that she could play a part in directly shaping the community with her research investigating how the United Way and private health journals claim public health can most optimally be delivered to residents.
"I was born in Sudan where, often, public health went unaddressed," Hassaballa said. "Coming here, though, you realize that these health issues aren't just countries away; they affect people globally. And actually, it's the same factors
- poverty, mental health, healthy food options - that contribute to poorer health in both areas"
But what makes the Academic Health Department one-of-a-kind nationally is its devotion to teaching the next generation's community health advocates.
Dr. Jomella Watson Thompson, an assistant professor in the Department of Applied Behavioral Sciences, works to mold health leaders through classes that investigate how behavioral and analytic methodologies apply to the health of a community, from helping stu-

work.
"We have a long-standing history of engaging students," Watson-Thompson said. "We all have a role to support students, and now we've solidified that arrangement between the Lawrence Health Department and Academic Health Department. In time, we hope to bring more students into the fold and share our passion for these services to our community"
Department remains in its fledgling stages, plans to expand the program's participation through interested students and to become a greater component of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department prompt Hassaballa to look at the program with hope and anticipation for a better Lawrence.

Student Senate group accused of violations
Ad Astra is under investigation for allegedly violating the Student Senate election code.
The Student Senate Election Commission said it received a complaint claiming that the Ad Astra campaign met with members of the Rock Chalk Revue at the Lied Center last Tuesday, Feb 26 and then campaigned with the Junior Greek Council the next day.
While chalking was allowed beginning yesterday, the Student Senate election calendar says that coalitions cannot passively campaign among students until next Monday, said Caleb McIntosh a sophomore from Caney Valley and the Student Senate elections commissioner.
"These are still allegations," McIntosh said. "They are not actual charges yet."
McIntosh said the Election Hearing Board will consider the allegats no and possible consequences. These are the first complaints the commission has received this election cycle.

STUDENT SENATE Senate adds seats to increase diversity
international students are now formally allowed to run for Student Senate as representatives of the international student community itself, as four new seats have been added to the senate to boost representation of this student group. The initiative passed the full senate two weeks ago and was enacted by Student Senate President Hannah Bolton last Thursday, effective immediately.
This marks a pivotal step for the representation of minority group students in the senate. Bypassing the requirement that senators represent a certain school like Engineering or Liberal Arts, the bill allows international students to mark on a candidacy form that they are not U.S. citizens and are eligible to vie for the four new senate positions reserved for international students.
Caleb McIntosh, a sophomore from Caney and election commissioner of Student Senate, said the bill will not alter the process for how students register for candidacy or are elected.
*international student cadets*
dates will be treated like any other senator," McIntosh said. "On the Student Senate website, candidates will have to get a candidacy form stamped confirming that they actually are not a U.S. citizen. This is how all other seats work. You would have to go to your school to confirm that you are a member of that school. International students are then able to campaign up until the election in the second week of April."
Despite the current presence of international students in Student Senate, the initiative, proposed by the senate's multicultural affairs committee, is aimed at increasing the amount of legislation directed toward the international student constituency as it increases the total number of
"The act should give us insights into the needs of international students, such as whether translators and translation material should be included or gotten rid of in certain classes." McIntosh said. "The original idea was that we could get a better understanding of how international students are adapting to the KU community and how we can improve this aspect of these students' college experiences."
Prior to the legislation, international students have been represented by the International Student Association, an entity separate from Student Senate. Ambassadors from the ISA periodically observe the Senate to assure their interests are represented,

but the ISA itself does not have the ability to propose legislation.
The Student Senate has focused on vocalizing this development through social media outlets like the Student Senate twitter page to encourage international candidates to compete in the April election.

Students raise $489,716 for local residents in need
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH GLENS FALLS, N.Y. The 710 students from South Glens Falls High School danced for more than a day: Conga lines, "Gangnam Style," giddy-ups, hand jives and the Harlem Shake. Then, flushed and weary, the teens showed why this is a dance marathon with a difference.
PAGE 3
Students cleared a path for a group who walked or were wheeled to the stage set at one end of the gym. One by one — a woman battling cancer in a stocking cap, mothers of ailing children, car crash survivors — thanked the teenage dancers, who just raised almost $500,000 to help them tackle life's challenges.
"When a community comes together to help lift financial stress, which allows a child to get the proper care and has the best chance in life, that's priceless," Kate LaFoy told the hushed crowd in a choked voice. Her 15-month-old daughter Alessandra has Turner syndrome, a genetic condition. "You know how they say it takes a village to raise a child? You're part of our village now. We are forever grateful."
South Glens Falls High School students donated the hefty sum to LaFoy and 39 other recipients by dancing around the clock this weekend as part of an annual event in this small, weathered village just south of New York's Adirondack Mountains.
The dance marathon was started in 1978, the age of turntables and disco. It has morphed into a monster event consuming not only the students, but also the community. Kids go door to door seeking donations, sponsor pancake breakfasts and collect bottles, and they lean on family, friends and neighbors to pitch in. Locals — many who fondly remember their own
dancing days - help direct traffic, donate goods for auction, paint faces or cut hair to raise money.
And they open their wallets — something not so easily done in this village of about 3,500 souls still struggling to find its economic footing. Paper mills once powered by the Hudson River have shuttered, and residents have a median household income of $47,587, lagging behind the national figure of $52,762.
The weekend's record $489,716
easily topped the $395,352 collected last year, maintaining a trend of growing tallies. Some well-heeled colleges raise money into the seven figures with their annual dance mara-
der.
thons but youid be hard pressed to find any high schoolers pulling in this kind of dough.
"You're raised in the South Glens Falls community, you're expected to dance in the marathon dance."
"You're raised in the South Glens Falls community, you're expected to dance in the marathon dance," said senior Carly Weller, a member of the student committee that organizes the dance and selects recipients, all local. "And after you do it once, you're hooked."
Students get by not only on adrenaline, but also the knowledge that they are contributing to something larger in their community, said art teacher Tom Myott, an adviser for the marathon. Myott said the marathon's mission has been consistent since he was a student dancer three decades ago. Now it's his daughter's turn: freshman Mackenzie Myott danced her first marathon this weekend.
This dance marathon is different from the old endurance contests in which the last exhausted couple on the floor escapes the tap on the shoulder to win. The teenage dancers get a couple of hours to sleep, plenty of food and drinks and some other breaks from Friday night to Saturday night. There are costume parades and opportunities to chill out on the gym floor.
"Definitely sleep during sleep break, drink lots of water, (use) deodorant," said senior Blake Sny
But it's still grueling.

dents this year include children and adults fighting potentially fatal illnesses, a family recovering after a house fire and a local food pantry.
"The money will come in very hand."
said Kristina Lemery, whose 4-year-old son Lukas has a brain tumor. "The bills are still coming in the mail and it seems that it's never ending."
As Lukas bounced around a school room set aside for recipients, Lemery explained that he still faces potential peril and that he is blind in one eye.
"The tumor might grow back, he might need another surgery. He might need chemo. Right now we just take it day by day. ... So it's really nice that in such hard times, there's something joyful."
The thanks were as profuse as the tears.
Then the grand total was announced. The marathon was over and the dancers melted into each other's arms.
"Physically I'm exhausted. Emotionally I'm exhausted," Weller said. "But I've never been as happy in my life."

Ad Astra
Ad Astra, a Student Senate coalition, released two more platforms for their 2013 campaign.
Marcus Tetwiler, a junior from Paola, is Ad Astra's 2013 presidential candidate. Emma Halling, a junior from Elkhard, Ind., is running as Ad Astra's 2013 Vice President.
Opening Student Body Access to the Student Senate
According to a press release, Ad Astra plans to implement an online system that will allow students to schedule meetings with the Student Senate Executive Staff. The press release also says that student groups seeking funding from Student Senate can meet with the Senate treasurer to go over rules and regulations regarding funding. They plan to work to video record all Senate meetings to reach out to students who couldn't attend the meeting and to ensure transparency across the board. The press release says that Ad Astra will create Senator Town Halls, in which the Senators will have meetings with their members
to make for a more transparent and responsive system.
Parking Ticket Forgiveness
Ad Astra plans to work with KU Parking and Transit to create a program in which students will have their first two parking tickets forgiven after completing an online parking quiz. The press release also says that educating students on parking policies will lead to a more improved parking experience for everyone.

Lack of Spanish ads troublesome for immigrants in Kansas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHTTA — When Emira Palacios saw a Spanish-language television ad talking about the new federal health care law, the immigrant from Mexico said it made her want to learn more about whether she could finally get insurance coverage as a Kansas resident.
However, the advertisement she saw on Univision applied only to California residents. Palacios found it was far more difficult to get Spanish language information for Kansas, which has a far smaller Hispanic population and where political leaders have been vehemently opposed to the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
"I do not have insurance so if there is something out there I can have access to, I definitely would like to know and I even would like to know what are my obligations, you know, in that regard," said Palacios, 47, who works for a Wichita firm that advocates for immigrant issues. "What am I supposed to do if I do not have insurance?"
Palacios, who as a naturalized
Kansas, where meatpacking plants have drawn immigrants from numerous countries — has more than 186,500 residents who primarily speak Spanish at home, census figures show. Of those, nearly 86,000 say they speak English "less than very well." Thousands additional Kansans primarily speak German, French, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese or some other language at home.
U. S. citizen speaks some English, says the problem could be far worse for the state's residents who speak none.
It's unclear whether the kind of ad targeted at Californians will ever air in Kansas, or how aggressively government leaders will bridge the language gap as the ACA takes hold.
Kansas has opted to let the federal government set up its health insurance marketplace. In 2011, Gov. Sam Brownback returned a $31.5 million federal grant to set up an exchange and do outreach efforts to all its residents.
"It makes me angry. We need to know these things," Palacios said of Brownback's move.

"Other states that are participating in the plan, they are getting federal money to build health insurance marketplaces and part of that money is going to outreach and education," said Sheldon Weisgrau, director of the Health Reform Resource Project. "We don't have access to that, so it is left to folks like me to provide outreach and education. But it is difficult because I don't have those kinds of resources and I am also operating in an environment where the political leadership is very vociferous and vocally opposed to this."
have stepped in to try to fill some of that information void, but their resources fall far short of the millions of federal dollars Brownback rejected. Among those private education efforts is the Health Reform Resource Project, an initiative funded by private health foundations in Kansas to provide education and resources to educate the public on the new health care law and insurance exchanges.
Weisgrau, who speaks no Spanish, is the project's only employee. He has been giving talks to English-speaking groups across the state.

"To me that is one of the disadvantages of having it run from a federal level, rather than a state level," he said.
"There has been so much noise and rhetoric about this in the past that most folks, even if they think they understand what is in the law, often have misinformation that needs to be corrected. But most people just don't know a lot about it at all." Weisgrau said.
Consumers in every state are expected to have access to health care coverage when open enrollment begins on Oct.1. Since Kansas is a federally facilitated exchange, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be in charge of informing the Kansas population on the new law, said Cindy Hermes, director
of public outreach at the Kansas insurance Department.
The new health care law also provides for "navigator grants" that will awarded to individuals or groups to pay for some outreach efforts for non-English speaking populations in states which have decided against setting up their own exchanges.
"I wouldn't say we are doing nothing, but they are in charge and the ones leading the education effort," Hermes said.
She noted the federal government has brochures and other literature printed in various languages, and the feds are in charge in paid media advertising.
But it is unclear just how much
federal funding will be available for those navigator grants or other education efforts. Another problem is that since Kansas is not running its own exchange, the federal government gets to decide who gets grant funding to be navigators for those state's non-English speaking populations.
Whether or not the federal government knows the "right" Hispanic groups with relationships in those non-English speaking communities is "questionable," Weisgrau said.

America must find North Korea's kryptonite
A after the British Empire fell and the Soviet Union dissolved, the world had only one superpower left. We called it America.
The last country with immeasurable influence over a planet that could be blown halfway to hell by a single nuclear weapon. America has served as a watchful protector that champions diplomacy and justice over killing, but still flexes the capacity to do so better than anyone in the world. Our foreign policy dwells in the gray areas while red, white and blue are sleeping in their Tempurpedic beds. America is Bruce Wayne at home and Batman overseas. And after recently launching its third nuclear test, North Korea has established itself as the Joker of the world.
We've dealt with supervillains before: Germany, Japan, Soviet Union. But they attacked (or spent 50 years threatening to) for clear reasons - for economic gain, for communism or for world domination. But in North
Korea, we found a villain that we are not fully able to understand. What exactly do they want, and how do we stop it?
The U.S. Security Council has imposed a series of escalating economic sanctions against North Korea since it conducted its first nuclear test in 2006, including an embargo on military and technological resources. But what do you take from the country that has nothing? According to estimates by the Council on Foreign Relations, they are still getting aid - China provides 80 percent of North Korea's consumer goods and 45 percent of its food. But even during this period of relative economic stability, the regime raises prices above the average citizen's reach and even withholds rations from soldiers. We cannot possibly hurt North Korea's economy more than it already hurts itself.

There's a story Alfred the butler tells in "The Dark Knight" to make some sense of the Joker's mind. He recounts his time in Burma, attempting to track
down a jewel thief. Alfred and his men searched and searched, but they never could find anyone who traded with him, because the thief had been throwing away the stolen jewels. He explains that some men – or in our case, countries – aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
"They can't be bought, bullied reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
North Korea is crazy. And like the Joker, we don't take them seriously because of it. We spooped Kim Jong-ll for his oversized sunglasses and Fresh Prince-era hair; we mock his son and current leader Kim Jong-Un for looking like he could (and would) eat
the average North Korean. They are strange and isolated from the rest of the world, but at the same time, they demand attention with a constant stream of threats, including a recent video that showed our president and troops engulfed in flames. But they are serious about creating nuclear weapons, and in doing so, they are in direct violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which was created to disarm all but five countries of nuclear weapons.
America is one of those countries. However, it's difficult to convince other governments to forfeit their weapons when we're sitting on the biggest stockpile in the world, so we've been trimming some fat. In 1967, the U.S. had more than 30,000 warheads, according to defense.gov. Today, the U.S. has just over 1,700. President Obama has made non-proliferation a priority, not only narrowing the stockpile, but also narrowing the circumstances in which we would use such force.
But North Korea is pushing
us. They want us to break our own rules. they're a purple-clad clown, dangling from a Gotham rooftop, just taunting us to give it the push it needs.
Even Batman had to call in the Justice League sometimes. We need the U.N. to be on the same page when dealing with North Korea, but China continues to undermine our sanctions in order to maintain a stable buffer zone between themselves and U.S.-occupied South Korea. We need to shut down the regime - without the use or our nuclear weapons - or this situation could ignite a larger problem.
Batman later asks Alfred if he ever caught the jewel thief of the forest. Alfred solemnly replies yes. Batman asks how,

Cheating not the same for every person, relationship
In relationships, there exists a cheating curve, meaning that what one person considers cheating can be drastically different from another. This curve varies from person to person, and unfortunately, the discrepancies in what constitutes infidelity aren't always made clear, which can strain relationships.
Most people probably agree that certain activities, like kissing or engaging in a full-on bedroom romp with someone else while in an exclusive relationship, are cheating. In a way, the curve in American society has a least a little consistency.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
However, a common disagree ment on the issue is whether or not going to a gentleman's club while in a relationship, either serious or not, is a cheating offense. And with the stigma the establishments have, it's no wonder.
The Stir blogger Janelle Harris discussed the issue in a post headlined "Strip Clubs + Cheating = A Natural Combination." She advocates that attending a strip club is cheating and that one cannot simultaneously be in a serious relationship and get a lap dance.
Likewise, I won't pretend that "Mercedes, Vanilla or Delicious" (a blatant stereotype that made it difficult for me to take her opinion seriously) have never done that. However, it's unfair
She said, "All of the pieces for the freaky deaky equation (of cheating) are right there: mental fantasizing, physical desire and emotional hot-and-heaviness. And let's not pretend that, for a few extra bucks, Mercedes, Vanilla or Delicious won't... perform a little more than a lappy and a pole routine."
to say that always happens and equally naive to say that the "mental fantasizing" and "physical desire" she blames on being at a gentleman's club aren't natural phenomena anyway, regardless of relationship status or location.
She prefers her article saying that she isn't "crazy insecure," but after its conclusion and her suggestion that she has never been to a strip club herself, I respectfully disagreed.
Lately, the state government has been critical of these clubs too. According to the Lawrence Journal-World, last month the Kansas House of Representatives had hearings about Bill 2054, called the "Community Defense Act." The bill would place restric tions on "sexually oriented" businesses such as Allstars Gentlemans Club and the Outhouse.
If it passes, the bill would ban employees from being nude or toplames, serving alcoholic beverages, being open past midnight and offering private dances, and dictate where the establishments can be located.
I wouldn't say I can't believe this bill was actually a matter of discussion in the House, but in the wake of representatives, singles and couples alike bashing on these "sexually oriented" businesses by dubbing them intimidating to the community and a menace to relationships, I have to ask...why all the hating
on strip clubs?
To say that merely being at a strip club and/or having a lap dance is infidelity is comparing apples to oranges. It may be one thing if someone in an exclusive relationship actually has sexual contact with said dancer (i.e. more than just receiving a lap dance), but simply being at the establishment and seeing all there is to see is quite another.
I would be concerned if my long-term boyfriend made a habit of frequenting a club club to see a particular dancer, but that'd be more of a reflection of something he's lacking in our relationship. However, a visit and a lap dance for an event like a bachelor party or a night out with his friends is, as far as I'm concerned, no harm, no foul.
Therefore my best advice to anyone with Harris' opinion is, frankly, to get real, and that if you share her view but have never been to a strip club, go. I've been to one, and despite having a stranger thrown into my table, sending me scrambling to recover my cocktail and designer purse, I enjoyed it.
Despite Harris' plea, it is insecure to say going to a gentleman's club is cheating, whether we want to acknowledge it or not, and we have to be honest with ourselves.
We have to admit. "It's not the strip club; it's me," because in the end, it is. And when we do recognize it, it gives us all a little more freedom to be an "I" and a "me" while also being an "us" and a "we."

Nic Cage: Best actor of all time
Ever since the ancient Greeks started the great tradition of theater in 600 B.C., patrons have long been enticed by the actors who made their presence known on stage. As acting has transitioned into the modern age, so has its medium.
The widespread availability of motion pictures has allowed individual actors to share their talents on a worldwide stage with their works being viewed by millions. There have been countless actors, but only a select few have been able to truly capture our hearts and souls with their inspiring interpretations of characters we see on the big screen. Names such as Tom Hanks, Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe often come into arguments of who is the best, but there is one name forgotten among their ranks.
The soft ballad of the sy! lables that form to create this man's name grace your ears like the poetry of a Shakespearean sonnet. I know you are already aware of whom I'm talking about: The great, the only, the titlating Nicolas Cage.
I bet there are many people out there who would disagree with what I just said, but just one look into Cage's starlit eyes and it is all too clear that he may as well have invented the rules on acting. In his long career, he has played dozens of unique roles ranging from superheros, knights, sorcerers, guinea pigs, treasure hunters, firefighters, ants, a guy named Mick, magicians, and let's not forget when he switches faces with John Travolta.
It's sad that most people don't even realize how good Nicolas Cage can be, and even worse, some unfortunate souls go out of their way to bad-mouth him. This is madness! To insult the

Cage is to insult the very face of the acting gods.
In fact, if I could think of two words to describe Cage's performances, they would be "flawless" and "perfect". I can't even think of a role he couldn't fill. I bet if you took the cast of "Dr. Dolittle" or "Dr. Dolittle 2" and replaced all the actors with Nicolas Cage, the movie would actually benefit from it.
Just visualizing the possibilities in my head makes my heart race and feet tremble. It's like taking a golden watch and covering it in chocolate; the watch was fine to begin with, but dip that bad boy in chocolate and it just gets that much better. Just as this watch is delicious, so is the future for movie fans.
According to Yahoo.com, Cage is rumored to appear in an estimated 14 films within the next two years. Some may think this is overbooking; on the contrary, I believe this to be passion. A passion that not only drives Cage to share his talents, but drives him to reface the image of cinema.
Just as he stole the Declaration of Independence in "National Treasure," he plans to steal our hearts yet again in these next breathtaking years. I hope you're ready, because you will be unable to hold in your emotions. Happiness, sorrow and love; all delivered to you in one small Cage... Nicolas Cage.

Australian miners fired for 'Harlem Shake'
Difficulty Level ★★★
SUDOKU
PERTH, Australia — Up to 15 miners were fired from their high-paying jobs in an Australian gold mine after a "Harlem Shake" performance underground was deemed a safety hazard, a newspaper reported on Monday.
INTERNATIONAL
A YouTube video shows eight miners wearing safety gear while performing the convulsive dance in the Agnew Gold Mine last week. The West Australian newspaper quoted a sacked worker who wouldn't give his name as saying up to 15 people were fired, including some who watched the performance but did not participate.
3/05
Mine owner Barminco considered
PAGE 5
the stunt a safety issue and a breach of its "core values of safety, integrity and excellence," according to a dismissal letter cited by the paper.
The letter noted that Barminco would not allow the dancing workers "to be subcontracted by Barminco at any site domestically and globally."
It's not clear from the video what safety issues are raised. The dancing miners wear helmets, but five are shirtless. The sacked worker told the newspaper that shirts had been removed to ensure the Barminco name did not appear in the video.
Barminco did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

Rap music not appreciated as much as genre should be
CBS
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
I cringe whenever I hear people spew, "You can't spell crap without rap."
Kanye West, winner for Best Rap Song and Best R&B Song, displays his awards at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, Calif., on Feb. 13, 2005. Kanye has won 21 Grammys to date.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Year after year, rap artists continue to release chart-topping singles as well as craft great lyrics that often receive critical acclaim, but the genre of rap gets scoffed at and still isn't respected as much as it should be.
For example, the Grammys features several categories for rap music, but most of the time, they aren't even shown during the actual awards show; they're awarded during the preshow.
In fact, some rappers are so turned off by the Grammys that they won't even show up to the prestigious event. Kanye West has won 21 Grammys in his lifetime, and yet hasn't showed up at the awards in the past few years. In fact, he has recently made inflammatory comments about the ceremony.
Rap is, without a doubt, one of the most diverse genres of music with many subgenres and specific niches, like conscious rap, trap rap and horrorcore. There's something for everyone, no matter what you're in to.
Are you really in to heavy metal? Check out Death Grips.
You like indie? Give Macklemore a shot. Reggae your favorite genre? Go listen to Young Fathers.
Jazz aficionado? Try out Shabazz Palaces.
One of the biggest and most ignorant arguments people make against rap is that there's no lyrical substance, and all that rappers talk about is money, jewelry and promiscuous women. This argument is very false. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to argue that some of the best lyrics in music history have come from rappers.
For example, in 2006, Lupe Fiasco released a song titled "Mean & Vicious," which is so intricate and complicated that many people, including myself, have no idea what the song truly means. Websites like RapGenius are designed to help explain the songs' deeper meanings.
Artists like Slick Rick, Nas and
Andre 3000 have crafted some of the best stories I've ever heard, yet I feel like people don't recognize rappers as storytellers.

Rap is something that I love. This is the music that I grew up on. I'm not trying to put rap on a pedestal above all other genres; I just want it to be respected more as a genre and art form.

Music sales increased in 2012 digital purchases main factor
For the first time in 13 years, music sales are up. For musicians and fans alike this is seemingly great news - or is it?
Sales saw a growth of a mere 0.3 percent in 2012, raising the industry's revenue to $16.5 billion, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. However, this number pales in comparison to the nearly $30 billion price tag the industry carried in the '90s.
For what was once considered to be the downfall of the music industry, digital presence has certainly proved its place. But how long will it maintain its lead?
What easily led to the sudden yet slight growth in revenue? While there are several contributing factors, digital sales are the primary cause. Digital platforms like iTunes and streaming services like Spotify and Pandora alone experienced a 9 percent increase in revenue.
Although digital allows for a cheap and convenient user experience, many music fans have voiced the concern that digital lacks the raw quality that contributes to the overall listening experience of a full album.
Eric Pahls, a freshman from Beloit, falls into this category.
"I prefer to listen to vinyl," Pahls said. "It is more involved, has an old-fashioned sound and has aesthetic value. An album tells a story, and there is a method to song order, so when someone puts on an album and listens to it front to back, they understand the story and emotion that the artist is trying to convey."
Alex Chanay, a freshman from Topeka, also values albums in their entirety.
According to Rolling Stone, Edgar Berger, president and CEO at Sony Music Entertainment, is rather pleased with the increase in digital sales.
The concept of purchasing single tracks off an album came with the inception of iTunes. Pahls represents one of many who feels that albums should be listened to as a whole, not in parts. Would you read just one chapter out of a whole book?
"I prefer vinyl because it turns the process of listening to music into a more engaging experience," Chanay said. "It makes you pay more attention to the music and requires you to experience the album as one long piece of music."
For fans like Pahls and Chanay, consideration of the artists and music comes first. The big players in the industry however, don't always share this state of mind. The three largest record labels in the U.S. - Universal, Sony and Warner Music Group - often look out for themselves above all else.
"At the beginning of the digital revolution, it was a common theme to say digital is killing music," Berger said in the article. "Well the reality is, digital is saving music. I absolutely believe that this marks the start of a global growth story. The industry has every reason to be optimistic about its future."
While this may be the truth for the record labels, the artists themselves may be experiencing a harsher reality. Resorting to digital platforms like iTunes, Spotify and Pandora leaves the artists
with more exposure, yet very little profit.
"Streaming services remain a point of contention as the labels, tech companies, and especially artists continue to figure out how revenues should be shared," the Rolling Stone article said. "In recent years, notable acts like the Black Keys, Adele, and Taylor Swift have not made their music readily available to streaming services."
In an effort to revitalize records and create growth outside of digital, Sam Goodrich, a junior from Topeka, tries to do his part.
"Almost all of the music that I have bought over the years has been in CD form," Goodrich said. "CDs are cheaper, you can play them in your car, upload them to your computer and are just overall more convenient. When gauging sound quality, though, vinyl produces a much higher quality and enjoyable sound."
While a complete shift back to the days of CD players and turn-tables is rather unlikely, it isn't completely out of reach. Although the digital age has wrapped its wires around many listeners, not all have allowed themselves to get caught up in the trend.
"The surge in popularity of vinyl has been a pretty neat thing to happen recently." Goodrich said. "It helps keep local businesses like Love Garden up and running, helps generate revenue for the artists as well as indicates that people are starting to really appreciate good sound quality again."

Bank on higher-seeded teams for a successful bracket
Well, it is finally here - the month of March. Let the madness begin.
The Cinderellas, the bracket busters, everything about March Madness gives me the chills. As many of us anxiously wait for Selection Sunday on March 17, maybe this will be the year when someone gets that oh-so-treasured perfect bracket. How lucky would that be?
Although everyone is convinced every year that they hold the perfect bracket, reality has it that the perfect bracket will almost never be achieved. There are more than 9 quintillion — yes, I said quintillion — ways to fill out a bracket. To put that into some sort of perspective, that would be the number 9 followed by 18 zeros.
By Ryan Levine
levine@kansan.com
So knowing that it is basically impossible to get a perfect bracket, I believe there are still ways to make a good bracket. It does not matter whether you use ESPN, CBS or even Yahoo because the way the system works for every site is the
same. Each round has a certain number of points, and for every team you correctly select to advance to the next round, you obtain the amount of points for whatever each victory is worth for that designated round. As the tournament goes on, the point value continues to increase for each round.
Last year, I had my best March Madness ever, as I was one win away from winning my league. Yes, if Kansas had beaten Kentucky, then it would have been the cherry on top for me. However, with such a successful year, I learned how to make a good bracket. I came up with a formula that worked, which I plan on using again this year.
The first part of the formula is to avoid the major upsets. As tempting as it is, the reason why a particular team is the higher seed is because they are flat-out better.
The second part is to correctly select 11 out of the Sweet Sixteen teams. The Sweet Sixteen is essential to any bracket because it is where you can get the most wins for the best value in terms of point worth. Next comes correctly selecting five out of the Elite Eight, followed by correctly choosing two of the Final Four teams. Selecting the national champion correctly will greatly increase your chances of winning your league because it is worth more points than any other round, so choose wisely.
March is an exciting time for fans, and a lucky time for some teams. With Selection Sunday being on St. Patrick's Day,
KU
maybe the luck will be on the fans' side this year. Happy March Madness, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Kansas team eyes title at Louisiana Classics
Final-round contention has been a foreign feeling to the Kansas men's golf team for quite some time. But that won't be the case for the Jayhawks tomorrow, who are in second place and just seven strokes off the lead at the Louisiana Classics hosted by University of Louisiana-Lafayette in Lafayette, La.
"They just settled in early," said
men's golf coach Jamie Bermel. "And that has been our Achilles heel — starting off poorly. And today, we just got off to a pretty good start and continued that."
Kansas played 36 holes in the opening day of the tournament and sat tied for first after the first 18 holes of the day. The team was led by Alex Gutesha, who shot three-under par with a 69.
"Alex got off to a hot start, and I think some people were feeding off
him," Bermel said.
Stan Gauster was the second Jayhawk under par with a 71, and an even-par 72 from Chris Gilbert put the Jayhaws tied atop the leaderboard with Illinois. Kansas would lose the lead in the second round of the day despite a three-under par 69 from Gilbert.
Gautier, Gilbert and Gutesha each finished the day in the top-15 individually, but it's a long way down the list to the next Jayhawks. Dylan McClure is
currently tied at 70, with Jackson Foth not far behind tied for 79. A first round 80 from McClure and a second round 76 from Folet kept the Jayhawks from taking a final round lead.
"We need five guys. We can't have four or three like we did this afternoon." Bermel said. "If we can get four guys playing well, we have just as good of a shot as anybody else."
Kansas is seven strokes behind Illinois, but six teams are within seven
strokes of Kansas.
"We just have to do what we do well, and that's get in the fairway, get on the green and make some putts," Bermel said.
Seniors Alex Gutesha and Chris Gilbert have never been a part of a final group pairing in their careers at Kansas. Gilbert, currently tied for second individually, will get that chance tomorrow.
"They just haven't been there as a
team," Bermel said.
But with a new coach comes a new attitude, and "not being there" is not too high on Bermel's list.
"Our goal is to win the golf tournament," Bermel said. "We didn't come down to finish second, third, fourth. Our goal every time we tee it up is to finish first, and that's how we have to play. You can't be scared. You have to go out and play your game."

It was supposed to be a night that all of the Kansas seniors enjoyed together. Elijah Johnson was just too busy sharing the moment to think about capturing one for himself.

Those "other people" are center Jeff Withey, forward Kevin Young and guard
"I'd rather be the person sitting back watching like the crowd,"
Playing for the last time in Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks' point guard dished out 12 assists, half of which went high above the rim only to be forced through the net in thunderous fashion.
Ben McLemore. Each had two vicious dunks via an Elijah Johnson lob during Kansas' 79-42 victory over Texas Tech.
Perhaps that was the point for Johnson during this annual celebration of Kansas' most tenured players. Twenty years from now when he remembers playing in Allen Fieldhouse, he'll think about the feeling of the building when the offense he ran couldn't be stopped.
And against Texas Tech, that was certainly the case.
"Not many teams throw as many lobs as we do. That's part of our offense. That's who we are."
"It started off with Elijah throwing lobs," senior guard Travis Releford said of the Jayhawks' explosive play. "It brought more energy to the team."
Indeed, when Johnson tossed Kansas' first alley-oop of the night
to Young, the layhawks led 15-10 midway through the first half. When he tossed up another to Ben McLemore with fewer than two minutes to play, Kansas had soared ahead to a 43-18 lead.
"He's seeing the floor better," Self said. "He didn't look to score, though. I told him to shoot the ball."
As Kansas coach Bill Self would later confirm, Johnson was the key to everything for the lajwhaws.
That might be a concern for a team with scoring trouble, which
is a thing of the past for these Jayhawks.
BILL SELF
Basketball Coach
With the exception of Johnson, who had seven points, every Kansas starter finished with double-digit points - Withey led the team with 22.
Of course, the points don't come sweeter than when it looks like kids experimenting on a playground.
"Not many teams throw as many lobs as we do," Self said. "That's part of our offense. That's who we are."
Well, not quite.
When Withey tried to return the favor with a lob early in the second half, Johnson missed his chance to throw it down.
"I don't know how I would've celebrated that," Johnson joked. "I think that's why I missed."
other player had a chance to get across half court, Tharpe caught Johnson in stride, allowing him to slam it home with one hand.
However, Johnson would grab the Allen Fieldhouse rim one last time. Midway through the second period, freshman forward Jamari Traylor came up with a steal and gave the ball up to sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe. Before any
Still, Withey felt Johnson needed to have his final chance to soar through the air above lames Naismith court while another Jayhawk
found him afloat.
"I thought it was a perfect throw," Wrhey said of his lob to Johnson. "I thought it was going to be a perfect finish, too. We'll get it next time."

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks have fun playing Texas Tech
By Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com
Sure, they wore their familiar home white jerseys Monday night against Texas Tech, but that wasn't the Jayhawks playing. If anything, it was the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus.
It's fitting, then, that the most embattled Kansas senior, guard Elijah Johnson, made Senior Night fun.
Saturday's game against West Virginia was an exhibition of athletic prowess, but in the first few minutes against the Red Raiders, it looked like the circus left town already. Tech destroyed the game's flow by drawing fouls and Kansas was struggling to score.
But then it all changed, because Kansas heeded freshman guard Ben McLemore's advice — when the Jayhawks play Kansas ball, they're playing fun ball.
First, standing behind the 3-point line, Johnson found senior forward Kevin Young for an alley-oop. Then, from the free-throw line, Johnson lofted a high floater to senior center Jeff Withey, who flushed the ball through the basket.
Kansas had five alley-oops in the first half and Johnson had nine assists, with 12 overall. He committed only two turnovers.
Young and his afro provided Energizer Bunny-type energy on his way to 14 points, including three dunks. Guard Travis Releford made the one 3-pointer he took, and got to the free throw line 10 times, making eight of those free throws.
With the way Kansas is playing,
its just as likely as anyone to wind up in the Final Four given all the upsets of top-10 teams this season.
It's just a shame that this edition of the circus will never play in Lawrence again.
Perhaps the most satisfying part of the night was seeing the seniors play to their roles. Johnson, criticized all year for his play at the point guard despite being a natural shooting guard, finished with 12 assists. Withey, skimmer than a stick when he arrived in Lawrence, had 22 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
Withey even joined the fray making his first 3-pointer of his career. For those scoring at home, he made as many 3-pointers as the Red Raiders did all night.
In the second half, it sure didn't look like Kansas was concerned with scoring. Rather, it was concerned with making the best dunk, as teammates playfully tried to one-up each other' Sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe even tried a half-court alley-oop pass to freshman forward Jamari Traylor. The ball flew into the stands, but when you're flirting with a 40-point lead on Senior Night, why not have a little bit of fun?
Edited by Jordan Wisdom
But once a team gets that little dash of confidence, as the Jayhawks did in a thorough dismantling of Kansas State on Feb. 11, the whole basketball court opens up again.
It's a nice turnaround from the earlier portion of the Big 12 season. For the first half of conference play, The Jayhawks seemed to play a laboring brand of basketball.

It's rare to see four seniors start on a college basketball team today.
But when has Kansas been like other basketball programs?
All four of the seniors showed off some sweet moves on Senior Night as Kansas cruised to a comfortable 79-42 victory over Texas Tech that left Allen Fieldhouse buzzing well after the speeches wrapped up.
First, senior center Jeff Withey scraped the ceiling with one alley-oop and knocked down the lone 3-point attempt of his career.
It's a moment that will live as the memory for Withey's Senior Night.
"I knew it was going to go in,"
Withey said.
Then, senior forward Kevin Young nearly brushed his Afro on the rim during a reverse dunk in the first half while also making a few hustle plays to make it a meaningful night for him after a topsy-turvy career.
Young could not help mentioning the Afro to the home crowd one more time before ending his career in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I had a long speech prepared, but it got lost in my hair," Young joked as he opened his Senior Night speech.
Third, senior guard Travis Releford did all the things he's done while a layhawk; play great defense and make some swift moves in transition.
Releford's been around this area his entire life and understands
what Senior Night means more than anyone.
Even though the Jayhawks cruised against the Red Raiders and are looking toward the near future, tonight was about reflection and giving thanks.
"This is the best place to play, the best place to be," Releford said.
Thanks to the building where they've been lucky enough to play and now have a chance to bring home a ninth consecutive Big 12 conference title.
Still, the thoughtful and reserved Johnson knew by the end of the night that this was just a stepping stone for the importance of the upcoming season. Johnson said that the reality of playing their last home game hasn't hit the seniors yet because they're focused on what they still have to do.
And finally you have senior guard Elijah Johnson. A man fully scrutinized earlier this season who's finally settled into his role as a point guard being the ultimate facilitator on Senior Night.
Thanks to coaches, teammates family, friends and fans that have supported them through good times and bad.
But the players also thanked the students.
"It's time to rock out," he said. "It's time to get to business and I think we all know that."
Because the students are what separates this venue from every other place in college basketball.
The students are here at 8 a.m. on Sundays for the lottery. They spend their spare time studying in the hallways of the fieldhouse
making sure they don't get crossed off when roll is called.
They are the lifeblood of the crowd that fills the fieldhouse every year.
With 4:45 remaining in the game the student section belted out a final thank you to the seniors as the people in the front row held up a sign that was written on a few pieces of paper that read: "THANK YOU!"
"I think that they are important because they got to see us grow and we get to see them grow," Young said. "All of the posters and each of their celebrations they have for every one of us is amazing. We are really grateful for having them here with us"

Team prepares for seniors' send-off
MAX GOODWIN
mggoodwin@kansan.com
Before the Kansas women's basketball team runs onto James Naismith Court tonight to face TCU in the final regular season game, senior guard Angel Goodrich will likely prepare for the game her usual way: by listening to music and joking with her teammates.
She said the emotion of it had not quite hit her. However, she did say that those moments — chilling in the locker room with her teammates before the start of a game
"Just the bonding times and being with the team and just hanging out is the one thing that I'm going to remember a lot because it was so much fun." Goodrich said.
— are the moments she will miss the most.
For Goodrich, forward Carolyn Davis and guard Monica Engelman — the team's three seniors — tonight will be the last time they go through that pregame routine at Allen Fieldhouse. It will be an emotional night, but before the tears begin to flow, the Jayhawks have some important business to take care of.
1
Kansas will need a victory against TCU to assure that they remain in contention for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament, TCU is last in the Big 12, but they have surprised a few teams this season, including Kansas in the first half of the game on Feb. 13 in Fort Worth, Texas. The Jayhawks fell behind by 23 points before making a comeback victory in the second half.
"Its overwhelming. I think, and considering our situation of the game on top of senior night, there's a lot of mixed emotions" Davis said.
Win or lose, Kansas will face the Horned Frogs again on Friday in Dallas for the first round of the Big 12 tournament.
All three of the seniors arrived at Kansas with high expectations and have all been in the spotlight at times in their careers.
"They came here to be program changers and difference makers," coach Bonnie Henrickson said, "And all three have done that, kind of in a uniquely different way."
All three players were starters at last year's NCAA tournament, which was the team's first tournament appearance in Henrickson eight years of coaching at Kansas. Davis was out because of a knee injury but was able to watch as the
As individuals, they have all reached the career scoring mark of 1,000 points. Goodrich has recorded more assists than any other Jayhawk in school history. Davis is seventh on the career scoring list at Kansas and has the best field goal percentage in school history. Engelman has the highest free throw percentage in the Kansas record books.
Jayhawks made the Sweet 16, the furthest any women's team has advanced in school history.
Teammates and coaches all agree that Goodrich doesn't pay much attention to statistics; that's just not the type of person she is, which is why it's not the numbers that Goodrich will remember.
Edited by Taylor Lewis
"The connection I've had with these people, it's just been amazing," Goodrich said. "We have so much fun in the locker room, the times we travel. It's so much fun, and it's just crazy how it's going to be over soon. Just thinking about it, I'm going to miss these people so much when it's all said and done."

"Don't use Wikipedia," is the caution that every freshman in Dr. Susan K. Thomas's English 102 class is altogether too used to hearing. Thomas, who has taught undergraduates to write research papers at the University since 2005, has watched her students' research techniques evolve as the Internet has made information and resources more accessible.
"Unfortunately, the students have become lazier," Thomas said. "They want the quick answer — they want to be able to Google it. They want things to be handed to them more."
In a digital era where her students would prefer to click the first result that pops up on a Google search, Thomas prods students
into reviewing an article's sources and thinking critically. When she assigns a 6-10 page paper over topics like bodily perceptions, her freshmen are expected to go more in-depth than simply discussing the vanity of piercings and tattoos. Her students must research using academic, peer-reviewed journals and evaluate the author's credentials.
Googling, Thomas said, is an easy place to get research ideas but its results must be searched through more reliable databases such as JSTOR. Despite high research standards, Thomas, too begins her research by running ideas through Google and Wikipedia.
"Wikipedia is an excellent place to start research, but you can't stop there," said Erin Ellis, the head of Libraries Instructional Services at Anschutz Library. "A lot of times,
those entries will have really good bibliographies at the end. Those are the resources that students should be looking at."
A librarian either visits Thomas' classroom or Thomas brings her freshmen to Watson Library for a
tour to introduce them to academic research at the University. Librarians stress the importance of thorough research and how to determine the authority of the author.

education, credentials and possible association with any organizations. Despite common misconceptions, organizations and even non-profit organizations often have serious bias — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, for example, is a nonprofit organization with an agenda to promote animal rights.
"Because you have a Ph.D. or are writing for a nonprofit doesn't necessarily mean that that information is not biased," Ellis said. "There's the issue of credibility but also the issue of bias."
The process of thoroughly evaluating a resource can be time-consuming, Thomas said, but necessary. Finding relevant research can be equally difficult.
"One of the things that I tell my students is don't expect it to be quick," Thomas said. "It often takes a little time to read what is valuable and what isn't. Just because it covers the basic topic doesn't mean that it's good."
Internet access of research resources has changed how students use the University's libraries. Ellis has noticed a shift as libraries are used more often for congregating and as a social space rather than academic.
"I don't think the library is being used as much to access resources," Ellis said. "We don't see students crawling in the stacks looking for resources anymore; they're on the computer. And you can use a computer anywhere you have an Internet connection."

Sporting CEO talks reinventing soccer franchise
— Edited by Jordan Wisdom
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Sporting Club is the parent organization of Sporting KC. Heineman is also the managing partner of Sporting Innovations, a technology company focused on innovation in sports and entertainment.
Sporting Club CEO Robb Heineman spoke about reinventing the Kansas City Major League Soccer franchise from the Kansas City Wizards into Sporting Kansas City Tuesday night at the Dole Institute of Politics.
Heineman became CEO of Sporting Club in 2006 and worked with local businesses in the Kansas City area to build a soccer specific stadium for Sporting KC. Kansas Board of Commissioners approved the plan for the 18,467-seat stadium
Before Sporting Club took over the franchise, Heineman said the average ticket yield was $4.87 because the organization gave away so many free tickets. He said at that point the organization had to figure out how to construct the right type of team to make it work.
Social media was a major tool in building up Sporting KC's fan base. Heineman currently has 8,408 followers on Twitter. He said that the organization tries to be as transparent and honest as it can be, and Twitter is a great forum to learn about their fans.
"I really feel like you guys trust us," Heineman said. "I think some of that is created by the fact that we try to listen to you on social media."
in 2010.
Heineman's interview with Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute,
was part of the leadership and globalization in sports series. Barbara Ballard, associate director for outreach at the Dole Institute, introduced Heineman.
"He's progressive, he's forward thinking, he's innovative and he not afraid to try new things." Ballard said. "And that what's helps you with that innovation."
Heineman was born in Sioux Falls, S.D. He started playing soccer when he was five and said sports were a huge part of his life. When Heineman was a freshman at the University of Notre Dame, his father was offered an opportunity to save the Sioux Falls skyforce minor league basketball team. Heineman said when his dad was first considering the offer, he said once you start losing things like your sports teams, it's bad for your city. After that Heineman interned
Sporting KC is one of 19 clubs in Major League Soccer. When Lacy asked Heineman how to create a winning culture from the business side of things, Heineman said to work hard, trust yourself and take every opportunity you get.
for his dad during the summer and started getting first-hand experience working sporting events.
Jess Bredy, a junior from Overland Park, said that she didn't know much about soccer before going to the event. She said she really likes Heinemans passion for the other local teams, the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I's refreshing seeing something new for Kansas City," Brody said.

Local universities compete in urban design
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Coming together from different schools, different fields of study and different backgrounds, a team of five area graduate students has shown that it can go to toe to toe in competition with Ivy League universities
The team, made up of students from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas State University and the University of Kansas, has
D. M. KIRKSON
Baudoin
been recognized as one of four finalists in the Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Contest, hosted through the Urban Land Institute.
The competition asked 149 multidisciplinary teams to bring together aspects of real estate, landscape and architecture to create a development solution for several blocks in an urban area and ultimately present it to a panel of judges. This year's location is the Downtown East neighborhood in Minneapolis.
After evaluating the initial entries, four finalists were chosen to move forward in planning and
were given the chance to compete for the $50,000 first prize. The other finalists and teams are from Harvard University, Yale University, Ball State University and Purdue University.
Genevieve Baudoin, assistant professor in the M.Arch program, was approached by a faculty advisor from K-State who wanted to add other regional components to the team.
After looking within her Competition Studio, a tight knit group of 11, Baudoin felt that Lauren Brown, a graduate student from Hermitage, Mo., would be that perfect component to add to the mix.
"She's always been a very good team player, she's always very col-
always giving good feedback to people, so I thought she'd be a very good fit in a team project with different disciplines" Baudouin said.

Brown was

interviewed by the members, invited aboard and taken to an intensive designing session at K-State for two and a half weeks, working each day from 8 a.m. to as late as 2 or 3 a.m. the next morning. The team then had a formal critique of their first draft of their project, "The Armory" in front of a group of students.
Before the final presentation in April, the team will have the opportunity to come up with new solutions, develop new graphics and rework their proposal. Later
"I think it's very prestigious for KU to be included in the ranks of Yale and Harvard."
GENEVIEVE BAUDOIN
Assistant Professor
this month, one team member will visit the site in Minneapolis to gain a better perspective for their design.
Baudio visited the team at K-State during the preliminary stages of ideas and sketches to help with the review of the project and a trial run of the presentation.
"I saw a huge transformation from what I witnessed in January to what they actually ended up submitting," she said. "I think it will be interesting to see their development over the course of the next month, given they have
more time to really rework their boards, tweak their presentation and refine some aspects of the desiun."
The team is made up of Kevin Cunningham, Derek Hoetmer and Kylie Harper of the K-State Masters of Landscape Architecture program, Tyler Knott, an MBA student from UMKC, and Brown. Although the group makeup is unusual, it has turned into Brown's best team experience she had. She believes the group dynamic gives them the capabilities to succeed.
"Everyone on this team is very intentional and very driven, so everyone on this team is willing to work incredibly hard, but were not willing to waste time," she said. "We're very efficient and focused."
Brown believes she brings architectural knowledge as well as strong design and graphic presentation skills to the interdisciplinary team.
Although the winning project won't move further than this stage of planning. Brown believes the unique angle of the competition could have future benefits.
"These competitions allow students to push the limits of what people conventionally consider for these type of sites," she said. "I think it's going to help open up eyes to what this could become,
rather than just the standard development from where money might come into it. We're coming from a design standpoint. We're not just thinking of numbers, we're thinking of people."
Adding to the competitions' challenge, the majority of the work is done outside of a studio class.
LEGAL
"They have to really take the initiative on the competition, it can't really be funneled into a studio easily," Baudoin said. "I think that speaks well to the students that participate in the competition, they need to show a level of commitment."
The team is vying for a firstplace victory, but Brown and Baudoin feel that finalist recognition is an accomplishment in itself.
"I think it's very prestigious for KU to be included in the ranks of Yale and Harvard," Baudoin said. "It speaks very well to the school itself."
"I'm just a student, but there are professionals out there who submit to competitions all the time and never win anything." Brown said. "For us to be recognized is a huge accomplishment."

Former DEA chiefs warns Obama to nullify laws
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Eight former U.S. drug chiefs warned the federal government Tuesday that time is running out to nullify Colorado and Washington's new laws legalizing recreational marijuana use, and a United Nations agency also urged challenges to the measures it says violate international treaties.
The former Drug Enforcement Administration chiefs criticized Barack Obama's administration for moving too slowly to file a lawsuit that would force the states to rescind the legislation. Marijuana is illegal under federal law.
"My fear is that the Justice Department will do what they are doing now: do nothing and say nothing." former DEA administrator Peter Bensinger told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. "If they don't act now, these laws will be fully implemented in a matter of months."
Bensinger, who lives in the Chicago area, said if the federal government doesn't immediately sue the states it'll risk creating "a domino effect" in which other states legalize marijuana too.
The statement from the DEA chiefs came the same day the International Narcotics Control Board, a U.N. agency, made its appeal in an annual drug report, calling on federal officials to act to "ensure full compliance with the international drug control treaties
on its entire territory."
"You have two states revolting and they're saying it doesn't work in their state and their community and it sends a strong message globally," he said.
But Brian Vicente, co-author of the Colorado pot legalization law, said a handful of North American countries have expressed support for legalization.
A lawyer who led Washington's legalization campaign said the focus should be on reconciling the Colorado and Washington votes with federal law and treaty obligations.
U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder told a meeting of state attorneys general last week that he is still reviewing the laws but that his review is winding down. Asked Monday for a comment on the criticism from the former DEA administrators, Holder spokeswoman Allison Price would only say, "The Department of Justice is in the process of reviewing those initiatives."
"Ultimately, we do need to see these laws and treaties change," said Alison Holcomb, drug policy director for the ACLU of Washington state, on Tuesday. "We're not going to get resolution overnight."
The department's review has been under way since shortly after last fall's elections. It could sue to block the states from issuing licenses to marijuana growers, processors and retail stores,
on the grounds that doing so conflicts with federal drug law. Alternatively, Holder could decide not to mount a court challenge.
The former DEA administrators are Bensinger, John Bartels, Robert Bonner, Thomas Constantine, Asa Hutchinson, John Lawn, Donnie Marshall and Francis Mullen. They served for both Republican and Democratic administrations.
The ex-DEA heads are issuing the statements through the Florida-based Save Our Society from Drugs. One of its spokesmen is based in Chicago.
Holder is scheduled to appear Wednesday before a U.S. Senate judiciary committee hearing. The former DEA chiefs want senators to question Holden on the legalization issue.
Advocates of legalization have welcomed Colorado and Washington's new laws, arguing that criminalizing drugs creates serious though unintended social problems. The ex-DEA heads say they disagree with that view.
Washington state officials responsible for creating a regulated marijuana system have said they are moving forward with a timetable of issuing producer licenses by August.
After votes last fall, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize marijuana's recreational use — putting federal authorities in a quandary over how, or whether, to respond.

Venezuelan president dies after cancer battle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution in Venezuela, crushed against U.S. influence and championed a leftist revival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro, surrounded by other government officials, announced the death in a national television broadcast. He said Chavez died at 4:25 p.m. local time.
During more than 14 years in office, Chavez routinely challenged the status quo at home and internationally. He polarized Venezuelans with his confrontational and domineering style, yet was also a masterful communicator and strategist who tapped into Venezuela nationalism to win broad support, particularly among the poor.
Chavez repeatedly proved himself a political survivor. As an army paratroop commander, he led a failed coup in 1992, then was pardoned and elected president in 1998. He survived a coup against his own presidency in 2002 and won re-election two more times.
The burly president electrified crowds with his booming voice, often wearing the bright red of his United Socialist Party of Venezuela or the fatues and red beret of his army days. Before his struggle with cancer, he appeared on television almost daily, talking for hours at a time and often breaking into song of philosophical discourse.
Chavez used his country's vast oil wealth to launch social programs that include state-run food markets, new public housing, free health clinics and education programs. Poverty declined during Chavez's presidency amid a histor-
Inflation soared and the homicide rate rose to among the highest in the world.
boom in oil earnings, but critics said he failed to use the windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars to develop the country's economy.
Chavez underwent surgery in Cuba in June 2011 to remove what he said was a baseball-size tumor from his pelvic region, and the cancer returned repeatedly over the next 18 months despite more surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He kept secret key details of his illness, including the type of cancer and the precise location of the tumors.
ASSOCIATED PRESS/FILE PHOTO
"El Comandante," as he was known, stayed in touch with the Venezuelan people during his treatment via Twitter and phone calls broadcast on television, but even those messages dropped off as his health deteriorated.
Two months after his last re-election in October, Chavez returned to Cuba again for cancer surgery, blowing a kiss to his country as he boarded the plane. He was never seen again in public.
After a 10-week absence marked by opposition protests over the lack of information about the president's health and growing unease among the president's "Chavista" supporters, the government released photographs of Chavez on Feb. 15 and three days later announced that the president had returned to Venezuela to be treated at a military hospital in Caracas.
He was also inspired by Cuban leader Fidel Castro and took on the aging revolutionary's role as Washington's chief antagonist in the Western Hemisphere after Castro relinquished the presidency to his brother Raul in 2006.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez waves to supporters during a government march commemorating the anniversary of Venezuelan democracy in Caracas, Venezuela on Jan. 23, 2002. Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro announced on Tuesday that Chavez has died.
Argentine-born Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Chavez nurtured that cult of personality, and even as he stayed out of sight for long stretches fighting cancer, his out-sized image appeared on buildings and billboard throughout Venezuela. The airwaves boomed with his baritone mantra: "I am a nation." Supporters carried posters and wore masks of his eyes, chanting. "I am Chavez."
Chavez saw himself as a revolutionary and savior of the poor.
Supporters saw Chavez as the latest in a colorful line of revolutionary legends, from Castro to
"A revolution has arrived here," he declared in a 2009 speech. "No one can stop this revolution."
Chavez's social programs won him enduring support: Poverty rates declined from 50 percent at the beginning of his term in 1999 to 32 percent in the second half of 2011. But he also charmed his audience with sheer charisma and a flair for drama that played well for the cameras.
POR EL EXCELENTE JIMMY CAREY
He ordered the sword of South American independence leader Simon Bolivar removed from Argentina's Central Bank to unsheathe at key moments. On television, he would lambast his opponents as "oligarchs," announce expropriations of companies and lecture Venezuela about the glories of socialism. His performances included renditions of folk songs and impromptu odes to Chinese revolutionary Mao Zedong and 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
Chavez carried his in-your-face style to the world stage as well. In a 2006 speech to the U.N. General Assembly, he called President George W. Bush the devil, saying the podium reeked of sulfur after Bush's address.
Critics saw Chavez as a typical Latin American caudillo, a strongman who ruled through force of personality and showed disdain for democratic rules. Chavez concern-
trated power in his hands with allies who dominated the congress and justices who controlled the Supreme Court.
Chavez acknowledged after he was diagnosed with cancer that he had been recklessly neglecting his health. He had taken to staying up late and drinking as many as 40
cups of coffee a day. He regularly summoned his Cabinet ministers to the presidential palace late at night.
Now, it will be up to Venezuelans to determine whether the Chavismo movement can survive, and how it will evolve, without the leader who inspired it.

College cancels classes following racist activity
LOVE IS STRONGER THAN HATE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OBERLIN, Ohio — Scrawls of racially offensive graffiti and, more recently, a report of someone wearing what looked like a Ku Klux Klan-type hooded robe on campus have shaken students at historically liberal Oberlin College, one of the nation's first universities to admit blacks.
A day after the school canceled classes and students marched on campus, many remained worried about their safety.
Tom Weston, of First United Methodist Church, talks about the recent racial incidents at Oberlin College Tuesday in Oberlin, Ohio. The college cancelled classes after a person wearing a hooded robe resembled the Ku Klux Klan was near campus.
PAGE 3
"I just really feel uncomfortable walking alone anywhere," Modjeska Pleasant, 19, a first-year student from Savannah, Ga., said Tuesday.
She said she became upset after hearing a few white students suggest that the racist graffiti first found a month ago and anti-Semitic and racist fliers and other messages left around campus since then were just a prank to get out of classes.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The college canceled Monday's classes after the early morning sighting of the hooded robe. Classes resumed Tuesday.
President Marvin Krislov and three college deans told the campus community in an open letter that
Hate-filled graffiti and racially charged displays are hardly unusual on college campuses. But what makes this string of incidents so shocking is that it happened at a place tied so closely with educating and empowering blacks in America.
they hope the ordeal will lead to a stronger Oberlin. Students and professors gathered Monday afternoon to talk about mutual respect.
Oberlin began admitting blacks nearly 180 years ago. Among its graduates are one of the first blacks elected to public office and the first black lawyer allowed to practice in New York state.
The city itself was a stop on the Underground Railroad that aided escaped slaves.
The college, with nearly 3,000 students, remains a liberal oasis in the middle of northern Ohio, surrounded by conservative farming towns and rust belt cities. Cleveland is about 30 miles away.
Isaac Fuhrman, a psychology from Lexington, Mass., said the incidents were upsetting, especially for black students.
"I guess for them, Oberlin doesn't seem like such a safe haven perhaps," said Fuhrman, who is white.
There are no fraternity or sorority houses at Oberlin, and athletics isn't a big part of campus life. Instead, students come to study music, art and creative writing.
Notable recent alumni include
Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO series "Girls" – a show featuring several characters who met at Oberlin.
Dunham wrote on her Twitter account Monday that she was saddened by the hate-filled incidents.
Hey Obles, remember the beautiful, inclusive and downright revolutionary history of the place you call home. Protect each other," she wrote.

Contest encourages students' creativity
Students have the opportunity to use their creativity to win a computer in a contest organized by KU Information Technology.
The contest asks students what they would create with a Raspberry Pi, a $35 computer about the size of a business card. Despite its small size, innovators have developed a variety of projects with the Raspberry Pi, including a high-altitude weather balloon, a phone-activated coffee machine and a Pandora jukebox.
A panel of three judges, two from the School of Engineering and one from KU Information Technology, will read through the 250-word-or-less entries to find the winner, who will be picked based on innovation, "cool factor" and practicality.
Students can collaborate together and may enter more than one submission into the contest, but only one computer will go to the winning entry. Interested students can complete the official entry form on the KU Information Technology website. Submissions are due by March 8.

It's the last home game of the year. We stand at basketball games, ESPECIALLY this one. Lazy.
I have a confession: I'm in love with the KU drummer.
Got to hit up my last game as a senior, and the woo is finally gone. Couldn't have ended it better.
I have mastered the art of making newspaper confetti.
It's always a sad moment when I have to go back to reality after a basketball game
Finally.. THE WOO HAS ENDED!
We should have started singing the Rock Chalk chant during the first half. Love our seniors!
From the guy who has nothing to do with the girl in the stupid pikachu hat: a simple thanks would have been nice. Editor's note: Looks like there won't be another FFA couple.
I no longer want to go to the bar above Henry's, it is too groovy for my taste
Does it bother anyone else when people refer to KU as Kansas University?

To the person who is indifferent towards KU basketball... LEAVE.

Is there a Hall of Fame act in today's music?
For about a month, HBO has been rebroadcasting the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony a few times each week, probably because the 2013 inductions are only a month away. If you get HBO, if you "dig music", or if you have a few hours to burn, watch it.
It's a good one. The Beastie Boys get inducted. The Red Hot Chili Peppers get in. The original members of Guns 'N' Rose even reunitie for a few songs — without capcitious front man and all-around jerk, Axl Rose, of course. It's so weird to think that three groups whose music I grew up to, have been around so long.
If you didn't know, artists can't be inducted into the Hall of Fame until after the 25th anniversary of their first LP or album. It's not very different from halls of fame in sports, either. Bigger legacies generally translate to quicker inductions.
For the most part, 2012 was the first time bands that I've actively listened to for years got inducted. In the next few years, artists like
Nirvana, A Tribe Called Quest, Pearl Jam and Radihead will likely be first-ballot inductees. We're at the age where our favorites are starting to join our parents' favorites in the hall of rock and roll immortality.
But, as a whole, popular music is more diluted than ever before. Each genre and subgenre has its own stars, but there isn't anyone like Led Zeppelin or Queen or the Rolling Stones anymore — bands universally appreciated by almost all music fans from that era.
Think of the last few artists who played huge shows at your city's stadium or arena. No matter where you're from, the only people playing at your stadium are either current hall of fans or will be shoe-ins the year they're eligible—or they're touring with Kenny Chesney, which further illustrates the sad fact that there aren't any new, transcendent, larger-than-life rock and roll artists like the old days.
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
So who are we going to put in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 20 years from now?
Don't mistake what I'm saying here. Selling out a stadium doesn't automatically mean you should be in the hall of fame. But who are we going to put in the hall of fame once we've already inducted Dr. Dre, the Foo Fighters, Green Day, Tupac, Biggic, the White Stripes, Jay-Z, Coldplay and Eminem? Whether or not you think they're worthy of being inducted, they're going to be, because they're some of the only artists left with careers worthy enough of receiving that honor.
and you may not. You may think a bunch of artists deserve to be hall of famers, and I may think they don't. That's the problem — the big acts today aren't anywhere near as big as they used to be.
I could list off plenty of artists that I could see being inducted once their time comes, like the Black Times, Modest Mouse, Beck and Jurassic 5. You may like them
I personally don't think it has anything to do with quality of music, because people are always going to say, "the new stuff just isn't as good as the old stuff," no matter whether that's true or not. I think it's because, as a collective, we haven't yet figured out how to handle the amount of new music we now have at our disposal.
That's not a bad thing, though, because having "too much music" is a fantastic problem to have. Technology has made it incredibly easy distribute music from anywhere, and that's given thousands of brilliant musicians a foot in the door that they never used to have. That's beautiful and exciting; it's something new and it's something that's in the process of completely redrawing the landscape of popular music.
can tank your casual fan base. When you lose the casual fans, you lose their ticket sales. When you lose their ticket sales, you lose their album sales. When you lose their album sales, you lose people who would like your music but never had the chance to hear it.
But the cycle moves faster now. One bad song or one bad album
So what's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame going to look like in 20-30 years? I don't know. Somewhere along the road, I think people are inevitably going to have to stop calling inducees "legends" because frankly, I don't think you can really be a legend in popular music anymore. You may be a legend to some, but it's turning increasingly difficult to do what the Beatles or Michael Jackson did — to become universal, music legends.
You may disagree with me, and that's fine. Either way, we'll have 20 or so years to see who's right.

SOCIETY
U.S. far off from perfect, needs to make a change
It's no secret that we were handed a messed up situation. America is an interesting country with glorious high points in the early 20th century. The very nature of our country and constitution is unlike any other. Following the Enlightenment, we established a state by the people for the people. A nation with an evolving set of rules and leaders to satisfy the needs of the times.
Boom baby! It's dynamite — in writing.
In reality, we're far from perfect. Civil war within the first hundred years, cultural bigotry which seems to come and go in waves, a great depression, the Nuke, and the Recession tarnish our history.
By Nathan Bartocci
nbartocci@kansan.com
We could talk all day about the aforementioned exploits, but I think what concerns us at the moment is something more important. Because, right now, we are on a fast track toward oblivion and it's up to us, the millennials, to stand up, look into the eyes of this monster, and fix it.
The recession was terrible.
The last 10 years were terrible.
Remember where you were on Sept. 11? That day marks when our self-destruction began. The next eight years would see us diving deeper and deeper until
suddenly we ran out of money.
College graduates were suddenly unable to find jobs and older people suddenly unable to retire.
We're moving forward, right? Obama is providing necessary safe-guards for long-term growth and development, right? So we can all keep using our credit cards... Taking out loans. Hoping that the ship ships steady.
Then we can simply graduate from the University with a smile on our face, a degree in our hand, and a career on the way. We'll make money, settle down, and the American dream will just fix itself.
This is a tragic mindset. If you look around, you'll notice that almost everything about our country in 2013 is still going wrong. We're an old rusty machine that needs its joints oiled with two children fighting over who gets to oil it. At the end of the day, the machine just won't be oiled.
The political-party box
ing matches are the first major issue with this country. It's like a Superbowl that happens every four years where we all place bets on an elephant and a donkey. The next president needs to be something different and the two parties need to be dissolved.
Why don't we have some sort of tie breaker? We're at this stalemate in our own country and it's killing us with each passing moment. There have been many great presidents in the history of this country. They led the people behind a single idea toward a brighter tomorrow. That isn't happening today. We're too passive. Too lazy to get up from the couch and miss an episode of "The Walking Dead."
Although it seems that nothing can be achieved, the reality is we're simply not making it happen. While the political-party stalemate appears to be the root of our disease, it is only a major side-effect. When we shed away all other layers it becomes evident that the source of our downfall is rooted in a crooked characteristic of our culture. A characteristic that we glorify and foolishly succumb to.

POLITICS
Economy injured, trying comeback
The sequester. It is big, bad, and confusing to the majority of people who do not get excited by the phrases "deficit" or "spending."
The sequester is a man made deterrent to a lack of progress. More specifically it is a combination of cuts to the federal budget over the next few years supposedly designed to address the deficit. The problem with the sequester, however, is it does not play to win the game.
On one side of the coin, everyone can agree that there is a long-term debt problem. The harsh reality of this is that both revenue must rise and spending must decrease to conquer the deficit dilemma. Spending cuts have to be made when reasonable and taxes have to be increased where they can. Most importantly though it has to be done without panic and in a thoughtful way that does not ignore the rest of the issue.
We may be able to survive the sequester, but we will not thrive with that strategy. The costs of the programs that have kept us in an annual deficit will inevitably rise. Even with these spending cuts our operating costs will eventually catch up with us. That is the problem of a nation like the U.S., with so many commitments that can't be undone, and standards that must be maintained.
Before calling for smaller government, consider that it is also a source of beauty. The U.S. can have a debt, that doesn't make our current dilemma acceptable, but it is a reason to have faith. It is also a reason to be careful about making panicked

decisions. Alexander Hamilton suggested we always hold a debt because it is in practice an investment of the debtor nation into our own. We do not have to treat our debt the same as an individual would.
The only reasonable way to address this problem is by means of economic progress. This leads to another consensus. The economy must perform better, but how to make it so is just slightly more contentious. However, the sequester as a solution will not cut it. Adrian Peterson did not rush for more than 2,000 yards after tearing his ACL the previous season because he came back to practice in the offseason while he was still recovering, deemed himself fit to play, and went out to have someone hit him in the knee. That is what the sequester is like and our economy is like Peterson, recovering from an injury. Adrian Peterson waited until he was ready and then came back better than ever.
The sequester violates its own principles because it does not address the real problem, which accentuates the problem. It does not play to win the game (credit to Herm Edwards).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The ability to criticize one's own behavior is a quality that only a few possess. Trying to portray our government as the Batman of the world certainly demonstrates the lack of the mentioned quality. The lack of such quality will bring about bad consequences, one of the most important of which is that it makes you think that any those who oppose your views are villains, or even worse, "supervillains." It takes a very selfish mind to label Japan as the "supervillain" when we are the only nation in the entire history who has ever used a nuclear bomb against another nation in such a brutal manner.
I don't think the solution to North Korea is "We burnt the forest down" type of reaction. The solution is diplomacy and collaboration. Considering the fact that a government's power comes from its own people, whether the people know it or not, the strongest tool against totalitarian regimes is to, somehow, educate its people. We need more moves like Syracuse University's collaboration with North Korea in the field of IT. We need more of this, rather than childish fantasies that are inspired by mythical heroes like Batman.

TIM DODDERIDGE
tdodderidge@kansan.com
With two full-length albums set to release this summer, Kansas City's Clairaudiens is poised to take the region - and the music world - by storm.
"Kansas City's music scene is growing exponentially and the sky's the limit. We hope to play a role in this town's climb to the top," said Clairaudiens drummer Blaire Geenens.
Clairaudients — guitarist and vocalist Patrick Robinson, guitarist and percussionist Jordan Thomson, guitarist Brandon Gardner, bassist Eric Fain, and drummer Blair Geenens — are most accurately described as a blend of rock, blues, indie, and experimental, but their sound is most comparable to modern rock and punk bands that range from Brand New to Deftones. For the past two years, they've been playing shows and making music in the local scene.
"The songs on this record were not really created to differ from our past material. They were simply a result of hopefully apparent progression and maturity," Robinson said.
"Cliaraudients" is the supposed power to hear things outside the range of normal perception." With this new name, the band hopes to fully represent their goals as a musical entity. While the word is merely a metaphor, the group uses to represent their limitless journey as a band.
With the band's atmospheric, emotional and dense sound, the lyrics for these two albums were arranged to
"Our goal is to heighten the collective consciousness of the group both in the room with us and in the car listening when we make music together." Jordan Thomson said. "That is, to take a journey sonically and emotionally with a listener in order to instill a sense of unity, humanity, and cathartic vulnerability. We truly believe ourselves to be on the same path as anyone else attempting to understand and react to this human experience in the most positive way they can."
At the forefront of Clairaudients' musical journey are their first full-length studio albums, which are due out sometime within the next few months. The upcoming albums, titled "I'm A Loud Mouth, You're A Puppet" and "He Is Darkness, She Is Light," were recently recorded in Massive Sound Studios. While they are separate releases, the albums are meant to complement one another. According to Fain, they "have intertwined lyrical themes that resolve and balance each other out"
But while the band wanted to start fresh with a new name, with the new albums, they wanted to keep their sound at its roots.
parallel this vibe. According to Robinson, the songwriting was mainly influenced by internal conflicts.
"Many of the common themes in the record have to do with more existential dealings, and less about break-ups or heartbreak or something like that. Every song is either very ambiguous and more observation-based, or it could be very personal and cryptic. Hopefully it isn't too terribly hard to distinguish, but I suppose it's entirely for the listener to decide. A song isn't really entirely yours once you have created and exposed," Robinson said.
Since all of the band members come from different backgrounds, the members of
"Our goal is to heighten the collective consciousness of the group both in the room with us and in the car listening when we make music together."
JORDAN THOMSON
Clairraudiens guitarist/percussionist
Cliaraudients don't consider themselves to have any central influences. Rather, they think they have a large group of tiny ones. Such intangible and personal influences have helped craft Cliaraudiens' current sound, and according to Fain, their songs are a collective representation of all five band members.
"We put time in making songs that we genuinely enjoy playing. Patrick and Jordan mainly handle bringing full songs to the table, but they are always shaped into a collective thing once all of us have had our say in it," Fain said.
While the band's recent foray into studio work is a huge accomplishment for them, their live show is one that will always remain the heartiest, most powerful, and most immersive thing that the band has to offer.
"Our live show is an emotionally charged experience for each member of the band, and I'd hope for the listeners as well. We really enjoy what we do, and we strive to portray that while we are performing. From the softest of songs to the more driven, aggressive tunes, we
are perpetually trying to relay what we are feeling through our instruments and motions," Geenens said.
Over the past year, Clairaudians has played over a dozen shows in the Lawrence and Kansas City area, and they've been able to flourish in a local scene characterized by a wide variety of genres, styles, and people. More than anything, the band sees the opportunities that this scene has to offer.
"Through the Midwest Music Foundation, to Homegrown Buzz, we are bombarded with opportunities. The music scene is pretty tightly knit. From the samba-like feel of local band Making Movies to the folksy tunes of She's a Keeper, we've never felt any friction booking shows with the different acts in town." Geenens said.
According to Robinson, there is "much to gain from reaching out to all areas of music and pulling in as much material as possible."
"There are bands and musicians every single place you go. It is a resource that will never expire." Robinson said. "You may not like it, but why not at least give it a chance? There is nothing to lose, and there's something intangible but profound to gain if it pulls you in and appeals to you the way other bands do."
The band has its eyes on the future. But while the members are attempting to expand to other cities and increase their overall exposure, they want to make sure to take things one step at a time.
We just bought a van a few weeks ago and we're gearing up for SXSW and Middle of the Map Fest. We want to spend the few months after that going out on weekend stints and making friends in cities like Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis. We're going to do things smart — start small, pay our dues, and try and make a name for ourselves one city at a time," Fain said.
"I'm A Loudmouth, You're a Puppet" will be available in May. "He Is Darkness, She Is Light" will be available this summer.
Catch the band at the Uptown Arts Bar in Kansas City, Mo. on March 8 and at the Czar Bar in Kansas City, Mo. on March 29.

Senior center Jeff Withey goes over his opponent's reach and gets the ball to the basket during the game against Texas Tech on March 4 in Allen Fiedlhouse, where the Jayhawks defeated the Red Raiders 79-42 on Senior Night. Withey lead the team in scoring with 22 points.

Pollard welcomes Withey into rare three-point club
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Normally, coach Bill Self would have immediately yanked senior center Jeff Withey from the game and admonished him on his way to the bench.
Withey isn't Marcus or Markieff Morris, the former Kansas forwards who could spot up and shoot the occasional 3-pointer, especially in transition.
Withey wasn't even as accomplished on the perimeter as senior forward Kevin Young, who hit two 3-point field goals against Ohio State last season.
In fact, Withey had never attempted a 3-pointer before Monday night's game against Texas Tech, the final home game of Withey's career.
It's the same situation former Kansas big man Scot Pollard found himself in when he attempted and made the only 3-point shot of his career during his Senior Night game in 1997.
When Withey hit his 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 5:20 left in the first half, he knew he had just joined some rare company.
"I heard Scot bragging about that, so not anymore," Withey said.
Self said Withey will shoot 3-pointers in practice, and occasionally he has to stop his center from chucking a shot up from beyond the arc during practice. But he was glad to see his senior join Pollard's exclusive club.
1-1 from three because there's no question who the better shooter is of those two," Self joked.
"I think it's very fitting that he be remembered instead of Scot Pollard being the guy that goes
Pollard was in Indiana attending one of his daughter's games Monday night when he started receiving texts about Withey's 3-pointer.
Despite Self's jest, Pollard said it's true that Withey is the better shooter of the two players. Pollard rarely strayed from the basket on the offensive end and was more of a bruising post player than Withey.
"I was a banger and a rebounder and the fifth option on a team of five

players," Pollard said. "Sometimes I was the sixth option even if I was on the court. Sometimes they'd give it to Paul (Pierce) twice before they'd think about giving it to me, which was always a good decision."
By making that 3-pointer against Texas Tech on Monday, Withey joined Pollard as the only layhawks to make their only 3-point attempt in their careers.
Pollard's 3-pointer came on his Senior Night in 1997 against Kansas State, a 78-58 Kansas victory. Roy Williams, Kansas' coach
at the time, wasn't aware Pollard planned on shooting a 3-pointer, but Pollard had every intention of doing so.
"I was thoughtfully planning it out," Pollard said. "I wanted to show Coach Williams all the 3-pointers he had missed out on during my whole career, and I figured if ever there was a time that coach Williams would not take me out of the game for shooting a 3-pointer it would be on Senior Night."
It was Pollard's first game back after missing time with a sprained ankle, so his minutes were limited. But before Williams took Pollard out of the game for the final time at home, Pollard had the opportunity to launch a shot from beyond the arc on a secondary break.
"I trailed into the break, and nobody was guarding me because as Coach Williams used to say, 'Sometimes there's a reason you're wide open there big fella,' Pollard said. "Nobody was guarding me,and I just thought, hey what the hell, I'm not going to get a chance to shoot a 3-pointer in Allen Fieldhouse during a real game again. I threw it up there and it went in."
Like Self did Monday night, Williams took his big man's playful moment in stride.
"I went over to him and I said, "I told you I could shoot threes." Pollard said. "He just laughed. He了 OK big fella, just don't shoot any more."

Getting the starting nod for the first time of the season and her career, junior guard Markisha Hawkins shined in her new role.
Prior to Tuesday's game, Hawkins, a transfer student from Tyler Junior College, had played just 53 minutes over the season, with most of them coming in games that were already decided.

"All year she's asked really good questions," Henrickson said. "You know it's hard because the kid hasn't played all year but every day she asks really good questions, tries to get it right and there's never any attitude."
Hawkins didn't disappoint against TCU with her effort and the energy that she brought to the game. Hawkins scored a career-high 15 points on 4-of-10 shooting and going 5-of-5 from the free throw line.
against Oklahoma on Saturday, Hawkins played in a career-high 18 minutes and put up a career-high 11 points. It was that effort and the effort that Hawkins showed during practices all year that allowed Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson to feel comfortable to put her in the starting line-up.
Henrickson said the layhawks had been in need of an energy boost and Hawkins provided just

Engelman said the spark that Hawkins was able to provide was something the Jayhawks needed, especially in the first half as she dropped nine points and added the hustle plays that prompted her to snag the starting role beside Goodrich and Engelman in the backcourt.
"She did what we needed her to do," Davis said. "We needed her to come in and defend and rebound. She knocked down some big shots. She penetrated and got some good shots late. She earned this start tonight."

On a night where the entire focus was on the trio of seniors, Hawkins opened the eyes of her peers and coach and showed them that she earned the starting spot, even if it came as a surprise.
"I'm proud of Markisha," Goodrich said. "She played really well. She was aggressive and attacked and knocked down shots. She did what she did. I'm so proud of her."

According to men's golf coach Jamie Bermel, the course conditions for the final round of the Louisiana Classics at the Oakbourne Country Club in Lafeyette,La., were ideal. The Jayhawks' scoring, however, not so much.
"Our fourth score, having to count a 78 today, especially today when the course was playing as easy as it was this week – and the wind was nonexistent – was pretty disappointing." Bermel said.
Kansas was in second place after the first 36 holes of play, but after a final-day team score of seven over par, the team crumbled to a sixth-place finish. The top three individuals carried the Jayhawks throughout Monday and Tuesday.
"When you have to count a 78, you can't have the three other guys go that low," Bermel said.
but it takes four golfers to make a team.
Kansas has struggled to solidify a lineup throughout the entirety of its schedule, but it's getting easier. Kansas had three applaudable finishes from its top three golfers. Seniors Alex Gutesha and Chris Gilbert both shot below par for the tournament, locking up respectable individual finishes. Stan Gautier finished tied for 17th.
"He was pretty average in the fall; he didn't play well in qualifying." Bermel said. "Then he comes

with this in the tournament and it gives us a good feel."
Sophomore Dylan McClure and freshman Jackson Foth weren't so high on the individual list. McClure finished tied for 71st and Foth took 81st place. That's not what Bermel has been looking for, and as a result, those spots are up for grabs before next tournament.
"We have about five guys playing for two spots," Bermel said. "We are hoping somebody can play better and fill that spot or that these guys find it and get their spot back. We're going to four rounds of qualifying before the next tournament so hopefully we find the right combination."
Kansas has two weeks before its next tournament at the Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Ariz. on March 21.

THE MORNING BREW Miami Heat on historical ride of success
.5 million.
B
because of last year's lockout, the Miami Heat had only played 37 games by March 4 last season.
compared with 57 this year. In those first 37 games, they were 28-9 (.757 win percentage). This season, as of March 4, the Heat were 43-14 (.754 win percentage). So, just by eyeballing the records, this year's outfit is quite comparable to last year's championship team. All signs point to another deep playoff run and possible championship for the 2012-2013 edition.
However, if you take away the Heat's current 14-game win streak, the story changes drastically. Instead of the dominant team poised to cut down the nets, you find a 29-14 good, but not great, team still searching for its identity.
Through 37 games this season, the Heat was 25-12, and, in their eyes, reeling, having dropped four of their last six games to middling teams.

The Heat was going through a dry spell, but when the calendar turned to February, and following a tough loss at Indiana on the first, the team went on a rampage and hasn't lost since.
Miami navigated through arguably its toughest stretch of games, with a high concentration of playoff caliber teams. As of March 4, the overall record of those 14 teams is 417-412, with anywhere between 8 and 10 of those wins coming against playoff teams.
During this stretch, the Heat has averaged 107.7 points per game, and have allowed only 95.9 points per game, winning games by an average of almost 12 points.
February was especially kind to superstar LeBron James.
James simply forgot he was a human being, and shot an inconceivable 64.1 per
cent from the field.
LeBron is and has always been a dynamite slasher and finisher, but with a deadly jump shot added to his arsenal, he and the rest of the Heat team, just became unstoppable.
Lebron james is one of the most polarizing athletes I've seen in my life. He has such high standards to live up to, but every night he meets them and exceeds them.
This Heat team is certainly more than just LeBron James. This is a team that could emblazon its name in NBA lore before it's all said and done.
Even though Dwyane Wade is playing fewer and fewer minutes each season, his productivity hasn't dipped. In fact, he may be getting more effective, hitting 52 percent of his field goals and getting to the foul line often. Mario Chalmers is shooting 40 percent from the 3-point arc, Chris Bosh is having another Chris Bosh-like season, Chris "Birdman" Anderson is always due for a dutch, heady play, and Shane Battier is one of the best glue guys around.
The 1971 Los Angeles Lakers, arguably one of the best teams of all time, captured
KU
by Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West, went on a 33-game winning streak and ended up winning the championship that year. The Heat may not touch that record, but in a year of such parity throughout the league, approaching it would be historic.
According to nbauniversite.com, of the 18 teams with the longest single season win streak, nine have won NBA championships. The Heat looks like no exception to the rule.
Whether you are Team Kobe or Team LeBron, as a basketball fan, you should appreciate this historical ride. If not, you better get used to it, because it doesn't show signs of stopping.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Big 12 title not yet wrapped up
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
No pressure, right?
All the Jayhawks have
to do is beat Taylor in
Waco and they'll have their ninth consecutive Big 12 title in the trophy case.
They lose, and the Wildcats break the Jayhawks' monumental streak.
The competition for the Big 12's No. 1 spot would be finished right now if Kansas State lost to Baylor. Kansas would have clinched a share number nine at home on senior night instead of on the road against the Bears.
Think it'll be easy for the Jayhawks? Think again. This Big 12 championship trophy isn't gift wrapped for Kansas. This race isn't over and it won't be won easily.
Sure, there's no pressure — except for the entire weight of Jayhawk nation thinking and hoping the Big 12 crown will stay with the crimson and blue.
Instead, Scott Drew, Baylor, an errant inbounds pass and a last-second 3-pointer from Rodney McGruder gave Kansas State the win and a shot at an outright Big 12 championship.
So here's what's left:
On Saturday, Kansas will play at Baylor and Kansas State will play at Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks have the easier game.
If both teams from this state win, then they'll both have a piece of the Big 12 championship, yet the Jayhawks would truly have the "champion claim," seeing as they beat the Wildcats twice this season.
If Kansas wins and Kansas State loses, Lawrence will have sole custody over the trophy. If the opposite happens, and the Jayhawks are shocked by Baylor and the Wildcats beat the Cowboys, then the Big 12 trophy will reside an hour and a half away in Manhattan.
The last scenario isn't the one to bet on, but it's certainly in the realm of possibility. It's pretty damn possible, really.
Baylor has a boatload of untapped talent. Austin Rivers is potentially one of the trickiest players to defend in the conference, and Pierre Jackson may be the most undervalued guard in the country.
If Baylor's team can play to its potential, which is asking a lot with coach Scott Drew running the show, then Kansas will be in a battle to keep its conference win streak alive.
If Baylor plays like it has against the Jayhawks in recent years, the Jayhawks will waltz to its ninth 3s of 12 title.
My guess is the former. Winning on the road in this conference is not easy, and it just gets harder when both teams know what's on the line. Not to mention Baylor was embarrassed against Kansas State on Saturday.
If they respond angrily, it does not help Kansas. If they're emotionally distraught, Kansas will celebrate.
It's clear nothing is for sure in college basketball, and that includes this Big 12 race.
Yet, fans and the media alike seem to be betting on Kansas to win number nine — and that sounds like some major pressure to me.

Senior Monica Engelman reflects on four years of family at the University
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
With more than 1,000 points, 400 rebounds and nearly 300 assists, senior guard Monica Engelman made herself a name while wearing the crimson and blue jersey of the Kansas Jayhawks. And, after four year at the University, her career is nearly over.
"I'm going to miss being a Jayhawk and just being here," Engelman said. "What I'm going to miss the most is just my family away from home. It's going to be difficult to be away from."
The San Antonio, Texas natives journey to becoming a Jayhawk started during a recruiting visit when she participated in a camp held at the University. It was from that visit that Engelman knew she wanted become a Jayhawk, especially after she talked with the coaching staff, headed by Bonnie Henrickson.
"I felt like they were interested in me," Engelman said. "I went back to San Antonio and it felt good and I committed the next
day after the camp."
Playing behind All-American guard Danielle McCray, Engelman was able to learn and soak in every bit of information she possibly could to ensure she would one day
Henrickson's ability to relate to her as a person and not just a basketball player allowed Engelman to see who she was going to be dealing with as a member of the team. Engelman said she remembers her camp visit to Lawrence and how important Henrickson made her feel.
"What stuck out to me was that she cared about me as a person," Engelman said. "She wasn't just looking at me like 'okay she's good.' She's another body I can have on the team.' She cared about me as a person. So in high school when I was messing up and getting into trouble, she would have those talks with me. It wasn't like we always talked about basketball and I think that's important. She cared about me as an individual and my life."
It was those talks and her will to succeed that prompted Engelman to make her mark as freshman.
be a prominent player and not just a role player off the bench.
Henrickson said the one thing about Engelman that really sticks out is her willingness to succeed, which she wittensed during Engleman's first year at the University. While the team was in the Bahamas, the Jayhawks had lost two tough games and Henrickson said she was fuming.
"Monica says, 'I just wanna know what I need to do for you to trust me to play.' Henrickson said. "And you know what I thought, 'That kid right there, that kid has a chance.'"
But Henrickson remembers the curly-haired freshman coming up to her and sitting beside her, despite her fuming.
"And were flying commercial on the way home, and we're in the airport and there isn't a single person who wants to be within 30 yards of me, my staff included." Henrickson said. "I am sitting by myself in the airport watching film and I am not a happy camper."
Henrickson said that at that moment she knew what kind of
a player Engelman could become. She said it took a lot of guts for Engelman to come her and after they talked.
Engelman understood what she had to do: play better on the defensive end. Engelaman said she wanted to be a sponge and soak everything in that she was told from her coaches and players.
Senior guard Angel Goodrich has witnessed Engelman grow up over the past four years. Goodrich fondly remembers playing alongside Engelman on the hardwood of Allen Fieldhouse.
"She started off well but then got herself into a little slump and then she got out of it," Goodrich said of her senior teammate. "That's where I've seen her grow as a player and person. I just respect her in every aspect as a person, a player and a teammate."
Goodrich said she noticed how Engelman improved her ability to talk during games. Whether it's communicating on the floor or in the huddle, Engelman's voice has become more pronounced.
Engelman, who is averaging 9
points per game over the course of her career, said she never looks back and wishes she would have attended school somewhere else or done something different throughout her career.
"KU has done nothing but take care of me," Fngelman said. "I'm still really proud to be a jawhawk."
Like many of her teammates, Engelman doesn't care about her own personal statistics or success.
When asked what she was going to remember about her time at the University, Engelman's answer didn't have to do with her first basket jayhawks or her 1,000th point. It was about her sisters, her teammates.
"Every moment that I can think with just stems from being with my teammates," Engelman said. "They're like my sisters and family. Whether it's hanging out and going to do something or just a game or practice. But everything I remember stems from my teammates."

Kansas celebrates seniors with victory
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Once the final buzzer sounded after Kansas's 74-67 victory against TCU on Senior Night, the three seniors knew it was time to relax and reflect on the past — at least for a few minutes.
Forward Carolyn Davis and guards Angela Goodrich and Monica Engelman stood together, watching the Senior Night video after earning a much-needed victory, reflecting on how they have changed during their years as lavwahys.
There are the small things: Engelman and Davis have both changed their hair styles; Goodrich no longer sports the number 23 on her jersey.
"There were some good laughs," Engelman said.
But more importantly, there are the changes that couldn't be seen on video. There are the ways that they've grown as individuals.
"It's amazing to watch our
Then there are the changes that they've made in the women's basketball program at Kansas, and that is the reason they came to Lawrence.
transformation," Davis said. "Just to see how we've grown."
"I feel like we came in and made a little noise and we've continued to make noise," Davis said. "I think we've changed the face of women's basketball here."
The night was nearly a perfect representation of what the three of them have done throughout their careers. Davis scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Goodrich dished out 12 assists. Engleman scored 13 second-half points.
"We went out doing what we do best," Davis said. "That's what made it so special."
The seniors have each contributed to the success of the women's team in their own way. But they have all come together as leaders this season, and they showed that in leading on the court in Tuesday
night's victory against TCU.
They have shown that throughout most of their careers at Kansas. They have all left their mark on the Kansas women's basketball record books. They have also left their mark on the individuals they have shared their careers with.
Goodrich said that the friendships she made as part of the team are something she'll remember for the rest of her life.

"Because of the hardships and the adversity, and the good times you go through together, it's just something you cherish forever," Goodrich said.

These seniors still have the most important games of their season left to play, but when they do leave for good, it will be with the knowledge that they have helped build the program into something better than it was before they arrived, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Carolyn Davis, Monica Engelman, and Angel Goodrich, senior Kansas Women's Basketball players, smile during Senior Night on March 5 at Allen Fieldhouses.
"If all of us can say that about
anything in our lives, that's pretty cool! Henrickson said.
Goodrich said that the emotion of playing her last game hadn't quite hit her yet, but she did have a moment in the locker room before the game began, where she realized it was the last time she would be preparing for a game in that locker room with her teammates.
"It's still emotional, but I'm just excited because we're still playing," Goodrich said. "It's not our last game."

MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Medical Center campus may soon be home to a centralized adult stem cell research facility. Senate Bill 199, which proposes the creation of the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center at KUMC, was passed by the Kansas State Senate last Thursday, said Mary Pilcher-Cook, a Kansas senator from Shawnee and the lead sponsor for the bill.
"In our country, we have stem cell tourism where people will travel abroad to get treatments with stem cells because they're so desperate for help," Pilcher-Cook said. "The Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center would be the first in the nation and even internationally to expedite research that's happening in the lab with adult stem cells showing a measuring to get to the patient."
Pilcher-Cook said the facility would prohibit embryonic stem cell research and instead focus on adult stem cell research, which she said has been the most successful and peer-reviewed research.
"The center will facilitate treatment and research with adult stem cells, the only type of stem cell that has shown promise for organ repair in patients thus far" said
Buddhadeb Dawn, director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute at KUMC, in his testimony before the Senate Committee on Senate Public Health and Welfare. As a principal investigation of heart repair using adult stem cells, the facility will allow experimental therapies to be more easily translated to patients, Dawn said.
Adult stem cells have been most widely researched because they are cheaper, easier to obtain, and less controversial than embryonic stem cells said Banupriya Sridharan, a bioengineering graduate student from Chennai, India who researches stem cells at the University.
"The most widely discussed controversy is the source of stem cells". Sriddaran said.
Adult stem cells can be extracted from liposuction fat, donated organs, and most commonly amputated limbs. Embryonic stem cells are obtained from fertilized human embryos, which some consider to be killing human life, Sridharan said.
"Scientific research at the University of Kansas Medical Center includes human adult stem cell research as well as human embryonic stem cell research using cell lines approved by the administration of President George W. Bush", said CJ Janovy, spokesperson for KUMC. KUMC currently houses 23 laboratories where therapies treating conditions such as cancer, spinal cord injuries, and sickle cell anemia are being developed, Ianova said.
The estimated cost of the facility would total $10.7 million over a ten year period, said Douglas A. Girod, executive vice chancellor of KUMC, in his testimony supporting S.B. 199.
"These are not funds we currently have for this program at the medical center". Girod said. "Funding through the appropriations process of the state or development work in the private sector would be needed."

Katz is the co-founder of the Mentors in Violence Prevention program at Northeastern University. He has authored numerous articles and books as well as a few educational videos, all of which relate to problems faced by young adults in society today.
Violence is an issue we hear about nearly everyday in the news both locally and globally. Students will have an opportunity to learn more about ways to make a difference during an upcoming guest lecture.
Jackson Katz will be on campus to present "More Than a Few Cod Men: A Conversation about, 'Manhood, Violence and Doing the Right Thing" at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
The event is being sponsored by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity and should offer some valuable insight into the topic of violence in relation to cultural gender roles.

Students lend a helping hand
Hilgers is dedicating her vacation to something else: service. She will be working with Riding on Angels' Wings, a horse therapy camp for kids and young adults.
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
She is volunteering through Alternative Breaks, a University program run by undergraduate students that sends participants all over the country to volunteer with different organizations. The group has many fall, winter, spring and summer programs in locations like Des Moines, Iowa, and Austin, Texas.
Kaitlyn Hilgers will not be boarding a cruise to the Caribbean for spring break. She will not be travelng home to San Diego to lie on the beach or visit Shamu at Sea World. She will not even be staying in Lawrence to sleep in, hang out with friends and relax.
If you don't want to go too far, they also have alternative weekend breaks around Lawrence and Kansas
Instead, on the Saturday after classes end, Hilgers, a junior, will be squishing herself and her few belongings into a van with six other students — whom she recently met — to begin a nine-hour drive north to Felton, Minn., which lies 30 miles northwest of Fargo, N.D. Felton has a population of 177 and an average high temperature of 35 degrees in March. Needless to say, it has no beach, no Sea World or any other luxuries one usually associates with spring break.
"Wichita is fifth on the list of human trafficking hotspots in the country," Marcus said. "When we first learned about the trip, we were blown away that this is somewhere so close to home."
"Wesley KU wanted to help locally. When we were researching nearby places to help, we happened upon some organizations in Wichita that

"I would like to be able to learn and do something that not only helps me, but also helps other people as well." Hilgers said. "And it is such an awesome way to meet some great KU students that I normally would have never be able to"
Hilgers has been involved with Alternative Breaks twice before; she has traveled to volunteer in Florida and in Minneapolis. She said that this would definitely not be her last AB trip.
"Alternative Breaks was amazing and life changing," she said. "It has provided me with many different opportunities, and I have learned so much from the trips I have been on."

Mike Marcus, a sophomore from Shawnee, will also be serving others on his break. He and other students involved with Wesley KU will be in Wichita working with organizations that are fighting against human trafficking.
WESLEY
Seventeen members of the group will go to Wichita with the mission to learn about the victims of human trafficking and how to advocate for these victims.
Members of the 2012 Wesley KU group went to Heifer Ranch in Arkansas to learn about the efforts to eradicate hunger. The group will send 17 members to Wichita to learn about human trafficking this spring break.
were focused on assisting people in these circumstances", Marcus said.
Campus minister Kara Eidson leads Wesley KU. a United Methodist campus ministry, and decided on Wichita and human trafficking as a mission because the issue affects Kansans.
Eidson said they will be working with other organizations during the break, as well, including The Oz, a homeless shelter for young people.
Eidsom and Marcus agree that it is important to focus on local places.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"It is a major issue within our own state," Eidson said. "Trafficking is not just happening in other countries, but also right in our own backyard."

Tuesday's 4-1 decision "gave the city authority to start working on construction bills," said Kevin Lovos, vice-chairman of the Lawrence Parks & Recreation Advisory Board. It will be the fourth and largest public recreation center in Lawrence.

Oh great, now my scarf smells like sneeze.
So how much does it cost the professor when they cancel class?

Hi back!
FALSE! Wescoe wasn't suppose to be a parking garage. It's was going to be a 25-foot sky scraper. #studentambas-daroporbs
I just want it to be spring break so I can be near blackout drunk for a good 216 hours. (
As one of the kids whose parents had to bring me to class back in the day, I appreciate it if we could stop the hate. Growing up on campus was awesome.
@KevYoung I just want to let you know that I will miss you next year. Campus just won't be the same without that beautiful smile.
I'd rather be dumped by Kate Upton than have the bus driver tell me it's too full to get on.
You know midterms are coming up when people start arguing in the FFA more than they submit funny quotes.
Lights out and you're expecting Bane? Please. I was waiting for the Team Rocket anthem to start playing over the loudspeakers.
To the girl walking around campus in the Mizzou sweatshirt: take that off before you start a riot.
I'd rather sit next to a parent and their kid than eight girls from the same sorority talking about how drunk they got last night.
I really need to stop wearing sweat- pants.
The KU drummer may be awesome, but the mellophone players are really where it's at! Editor's note: Said the mellophone player.

Ben McLemore just walked by me. I played it cool and limited myself to a triple take.
Is it just me, or do sorority girls always have the sniffles?

PEP TALK
Nine-year-old inspires many through YouTube
Everybody needs a pep talk snow and then. Without one, you may never feel brave enough to challenge your enemy to a dance-off or ask out the cute girl in your English class.
The truth is encouragement allows us to move past our fears and stretch our imaginations beyond the possible. That is all Robby Novak wants to do: make people aware that they can be less boring and more awesome.
If his name does not ting a bell, perhaps you know him by his alias, Kid President. Never heard of him? I say shame on you. According to his profile at TED.com, in October 2012, this 9-year-old dressed in a suit from Henderson, Tenn., began creating videos inspiring others to "treat
everybody like it's their birthday."
Since then, Kid President has starred in 26 YouTube videos in collaboration with SoulPancake, a media company seeking to promote anything on your mind.
Additionally, Kid President has a website, Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts with thousands of followers. That is impressive for a project that began as a promotion of the annual benefit dinner for Freed-Hardeman University.
A few of the inspirational remarks Novak makes on the videos include, "The world needs you to stop being boring." "If life is a game, aren't we all on the same team?" and "You were made to be awesome." Good stuff, right? I know I enjoyed watching
By Jordan Warren
jwarren@kansan.com
his videos and felt more optimistic about the start of my day. His most successful video, "A Pep Talk from Kid President to You" has more than 12 million views on YouTube alone.
This kid wants everyone to put aside their differences and realize that we can all be awesome, individually -nd as a whole. Novak dedicates his pep talk to Gabby, his friend who "is fighting cancer
LIKE A BOSS?" Additionally, Kid President himself has osteogenesis imperfecta, better known as brittle bone disease. In his recent videos, you can see his finger in a cast because of the disease, but he does not want people to worry.
"I don't worry about — like, that's my point!" he exclaims in a CBS interview. "I'm trying not to worry about it. Like I want everybody to know ... I'm not that kid who breaks a lot. Like, I'm just
— I'm just a kid who wants to have fun."
Now I ask you, what are you doing to make this world better? Novak asks this question many times, and I want to know your answer. Recently my roommates and I were talking about some of the Academy Award winners and
realized Adele is only 24-years-old, has two successful albums and an Oscar. And here I am, complaining about how I cannot watch both "Honey Boo Boo" and "Dance Mom's" at the same time.
Kid President challenges you and me to get off our lazy buns and start doing something. As he says in the pep talk YouTube clip, "What if Michael Jordan had quit? ... What if he quit and didn't make the team? He would have never made 'Space Jam,' and I love 'Space Jam'..."
So get up, stretch your limbs and do as the kid says, dance.
SENIORITIS CRISIS

Wishing for more time to spend at the University
As I look back on the last four years I've spent here in Lawrence, I can't help but remember all the great memories I've made. Coming to the University after our big NCAA championship, I was excited to become a Jayhawk. The people I met in the dorms were great, the nightlife in Lawrence is second to none, and I thought that my time here would last forever. Only now I realize it won't.
And I hate it.
By Brett Crawford
bcrawford@kansan.com
If I had it my way, I'd be here for another four years. Hell. I'd even stay for another eight just to soak it all in. I could change things up, maybe join a fraternity for a while and call the Hawk my second home. Maybe go vegan for a bit, and get a part-time job at the Merc while I study anthropology. Who knows? I might even go so far as to become a TA in the math department, and reteach every lecture you couldn't understand or forget sitting in the back of Budig Hall.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm ready to grow up and move out of Lawrence as much as the next
guy, but there's just something about this place that makes me want to stay. If I were to figure out how to make it work, maybe Judd Apatow would buy the rights to my life from me to make one of his hilarious movies out of. I'd just have to put somewhere in my contract that it couldn't become some half-assed version of Van Wilder.
In all seriousness though, the University has been great. My professors here have been some of the most nurturing and kind people I've had the pleasure to ignore on a daily basis, deep in my Angry Birds trance, slumped over in my chair in the middle of class. I can't thank all of my new friends enough for all the
lecture notes they've let me copy hours before midterm and final exams, giving me that extra push to understand René Descartes and John Locke mere moments before summer break began.
What I'm trying to say is this: don't waste what you've going for you here. Who wouldn't want to live in a town as cool as Lawrence, going out five nights a week, cheering the Jayhawks on to another victory (at least the basketball team), and learning as much as they can before someone tells us we've learned enough and it's time to go out into the real world? I mean, it's all free, so why waste it?
What's that? You mean we have to pay to be here? I thought all of this was subsidized by the state. How much is tuition? Really? Oh, well on second thought, maybe the real world is a much better option.

Twitter hacking benefits companies
twitter. It's taking over our lives whether you like it or not. It's an amazing
I wonder you like it or not. It's an amazing source for people to learn about information and news. Whether that information is positive, negative, important, or irrelevant, the entire Twitterverse still reads it, or at least is aware of it.
But what can we conclude about the recent hackings of Burger King and Jeep Twitter accounts? Were they a conspiracy planned by the corporate office to expose their business, or is it just a case of poor security on Twitter and Public Relation's part?
To me, this seems like a safety issue, but the two firms did benefit from it.
The person responsible for the hacked tweets changed Burger King's picture to the golden arches that are McDonald's and also changed the company name to McDonald's. But it didn't stop there. They were also responsible for saying the company was sold to the king of fast food, McDonald's, and posted tons of irresponsible tweets. Although this seems like this kind of exposure is a negative thing for Burger King, it did get them a lot of recognition from the general public. Burger King received an additional 34,000 followers, a number that is almost double the amount they had previously, which, if you're unfamiliar with Twitter, is a really good thing.
Of the 53 tweets sent during a 71-minute timeframe, there were 73,421 retweets. All of these rettweets exposed the home of the Whopper to all of Twitter and it was actually a good thing for the company. In a way, this is free promotion for Burger King, even though it is not ideal promoting. All of this exposure actually benefits Burger King.
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com
The very next day, Jeep was also hacked on Twitter. Although their hacks were a lot lower key than Burger King, they too benefited from the recent cyber attacks.
it seems as if the Hamburglar's plan backfired on him and he actually helped promote the restaurant instead of sinking them.
Jeep had the same sort of attack, but had only 17 tweets sent and only 2,756 retweets. But this was still enough for the entire world of Twitter to recognize Jeep.
These recent hackings were not a planned PR stunt but real hackings due to poor security measures by both Twitter and the companies' marketing teams. This could have been a tough lesson learned,but luckily for both firms,they benefited from all of this exposure.
The hackings Jeep experienced were defiantly not a "#Jeep thing" and they tweeted that they were "back in the drivers seat," meaning the situation was back to normal.
Whoever is responsible for the hacks must feel pretty dumb because their plan actually promoted and exposed both Burger King and Jeep. Those companies can thank this unknown person for helping them increase their Twitter followers.

--savior over the course of a few short days. Although I've enjoyed Franco's work in past efforts like "City by the Sea" and "127 Hours," the former "Spider-Man" star often struggles to portray characters with genuine or selfless motivations. He does a fine job of playing Oz at the beginning of his arc, when the character is meant to come across as a smarmy, self-aggrandizing comman. As the film goes on, however, Franco's performance disintegrates by degrees, relying on the same bemused, laid-back mannerisms in scenes that call for at least a semblance of honest, heartfelt emotion. Eventually, his disinterest was mirrored by my own. I guess that's what I get for paying attention to that man behind the curtain.

Despite the film's many short-comings, there's a lot to enjoy here
LANDON MCDONALD

A reality-hopping carnival magician (James Franco) battles witches and befriends a flying monkey (Zach Braff) in Sam Raimi's action-fantasy "Oz the Great and Powerful."
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Sam Raimi seems to have taken this advice to heart while filming "Oz the Great and Powerful," his visually resplendent, dramatically muted quasi-prequel to 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" whose status as a cross-generational touchstone will continue to grow long after this lackluster reprise is banished to the nether regions of Netflix. Despite a few clever references and a commendable sense of affection (if not reverence) for "Oz" creator L. Frank Baum, Raimi's version is unable to overcome its most fundamental flaw: a marked disinterest in the Wizard himself.
After his hot-air balloon crashes near Emerald City, Oz meets the ravishing sorceress sisters Theodora (Mila Kunis) and Evanora (Rachel Weisz), who inform him that his arrival was foretold as the coming of a new Wizard and that he must slay a certain Wicked Witch in order to inherit the throne (and the Scrooge McDuck-style swimming pool of swag that comes with it). Joining him on his journey are Flying the Flyong Monkey (Zach Braff), the only one who knows Oz is secretly a charlatan, and the sassy, delicate China Girl (Joey King), whose village was massacred by the Witch's army of winged baboons (yes, apparently there are several different species of flying monkey).
The movie opens on a wind-swept Kansan fairground, where a traveling carnival is showcasing the questionable talents of Oscar "Oz2" Diggs (James Franco), an itinerant magician harboring vague notions of inner greatness. He gets the chance to prove himself clf after a magic twister whisks him off to the merry old land that just so happens to bear his name. This sequence, arguably the films finest, salutes its predecessor's famed transition from sepia to Technicolor by expanding its square-shaped 4:3 aspect ratio and brightening its digital environs to the point of candy-colored catatonia.
Danny Elfman's score is evocative without being derivative, and the 3-D effects are uniformly magnificent, especially Finley, who's easily the most expressive CGI simian since Cesar in 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Another bright spot is Michelle Williams's Glinda the Good Witch, a performance that owes more to Cate Blanchett's Galadriel in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy than the frilly, bubble-loving enchantress of 1939.
Then there's Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger's refreshingly old-school prosthetics work, which convincingly transfigures Raimi's regular collaborator Bruce Campbell into a mega-clefted Winkie guardsman. Speaking of Campbell, Nicotero's monstrous redesign of the Wicked Witch of the West is bound to draw comparisons with the Deadites in Raimi's much-loved "Evil Dead" trilogy, especially the possessed Sheila in "Army of Darkness." It's a shame the actress who ends up playing the Witch (her identity, although technically a spoiler, is ridiculously predictable) uses such a scratchy, almost comically irritating voice.
The bulk of the movies' failings can be attributed to Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abireau's uneven screenplay and the casting of Franco as the Wizard. No one seems willing or able to pinpoint what exactly motivates Oz to transform from sham to

Love Garden and Granada best places for rap music
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Lawrence honestly doesn't offer much when it comes to hip-hop and R&B music, but there are still a few great places to buy it and see live performances. When it comes to purchasing hip-hop and R&B, the best place to go, without a doubt, is Love Garden Sounds.
Love Garden Sounds has made a name for itself as one of the best music stores in the Midwest. It offers nearly every genre of music, including a pretty awesome hip-hop and R&B section. You can find everything from vinyl records to CDs, including both new and used items. The store also allows customers to buy sell and trade music.
"Love Garden doesn't run itself, and the ability to balance a fun atmosphere with a reasonable work-ethic makes the place
what it is," said store owner Kelly Corcoran.
The store also has two in-store cats, which have become a trademark for the store and create a welcoming environment for customers.
"I love Love Garden Sounds, by far the best place in Lawrence to buy music, especially hip-hop," said Josh Florez, a freshman from Wichita. "The employees are always nice and helpful. I like the cats too."
For live music, the Granada is the most hip-hop friendly venue in Lawrence. Just in the past year they've brought in Odd Future, Asher Roth and Hopsin. In the coming months, they will have performances from several others, including Murs and Watsky.
Artists also seem to enjoy performing at the Granada. Talib Kweli is returning in May to do his second show this year at the venue. Hoodie Allen is also coming back next week for his second performance in seven months.
The venue is also a fan-favorite among students.
"I've been to a plethora of shows at the Granada, but Odd Future was the best," said Maxwell Moore, a freshman from Gardner. "The tickets were not too costly; the house was packed with an audience deeply invested in the group. Chants began 30 minutes before the group even made a stage appearance, and the large Odd Future banister excited eve, one."
Basically, if you're looking for places for hip-hop and R&B, definitely check out Love Garden Sounds and the Granada if you haven't already.

Pantomime troupe to perform at the Lied Center on Friday
ELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
People will get a unique opportunity to see a foreign performance troupe in Lawrence.
On Friday at 7:30 p.m., the Lied Center will host the Swiss pantomime troupe known as Mummenschanz. This performance will be part of the group's 40th anniversary tour.
"It's fantastical performance mime theater and every child's dream," said Karen Christelles, associate director of the Lied Center. "Just taking the fantastical of every day and make it into something that is humorous."
Muppets have their own distinct personalities, the troupe is taking inanimate objects and giving them their own personalities. She added that the troupe actually appeared on "The Muppets Show."
Christelles likened the troupe to the Jim Henson Muppets. However, she says that while the
Christelles also said that the troupe's performance was booked around this time last year and they jumped at the chance to book them to perform.
"We heard that since this is a Swiss troupe, they're not based in the States," she said. "So we heard 'oh they're going to be on tour here in the U.S.' and 'they're going to be touring here in a particular time frame and you would have an opportunity to have them here' so we were like 'yeah,' and since it's their 40th anniversary tour, we thought that made it special."
The performance will consist of some of their trademark performances but will also include some of their more recent performances. Michele Berendsen, marketing communications director at the Lied Center, also expressed enthusiasm about the troupe's coming performance, also referencing their appearance on "The Muppet Show."
"It is exciting to have such a unique group of performers visit the Lied Center," she said. "Many of us enjoyed them on 'Sesame Street' and 'The Muppet Show' and seeing them in person will be such a treat."

KU Hillel hosts annual event to watch basketball game
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
This Saturday, March 9, KU Hillel will host its ninth annual Bagels and Basketball. Students, alumni and community members are all welcome to gather at Abe and Jakes, 8 E. Sixth St., to watch the Jayhawks take on the Baylor Bears.
Typically, students have enjoyed a traditional bagels and lox brunch at the event; however, later game
times encouraged new additions. Starting last year, Bagels and Basketball had its first Late Night Edition in order to accommodate the evening game. Since the game begins at 5 p.m. this year, KU Hillel is well prepared with an ample variety of foods.
Carly Brown Stein, programs director for KU Hillel, is excited for the event. According to Stein, 200-250 people usually attend. This year, Stein says she is "looking forward to an amazing turnout and for KU to crush Baylor."
Nathan Lipsky, a senior from Prairie Village, will be among the attendees this year.
"Bagels and Basketball is a great event that brings alumni and current students together to cheer on our Jayhawks in a fun and relaxed setting." Lipsky said. "I always look forward to this event and definitely will be back as an alumni."
Plenty of time and planning is necessary to create such a successful event.
Kenzie Litt, a sophomore from Maple Grove, Minn., is KU Hillel's event planning intern.
"Bagels and Basketball is a really fun way to get students, parents, and alumni together to do things we all love: eat and watch KU basketball." Litt said.
Litt is also a member of Sigma Delta Tau. The sorority, along with the other Jewish Greek houses Alpha Epsilon Pi and Zeta Beta Tau, which are fraternities, will be
participating in the event as well. The chapters will do their part by hosting philanthropic events to help raise money for respective charities.
Abe and Jakes will open at 4:30 p.m. for the 5 p.m. tip-off. Admission is $3 for students and $6 for the general public.

Rihanna's line fails to impress
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
Rihanna's clothingbrand, Rihanna for River Island, was finally released into River Island stores on Tuesday. The star's collaboration with the British head-quartered brand is also available online.
The collection debuted in its own fashion show in London in February. Though the show wasn't technically part of the London Fashion Week line up, stars such as Cara Delevingne and Tyson Beckford did attend the event, which took place at a disused post office on New Oxford Street.
The singer received harsh reviews for her alleged lack of participation in the line, as well as for the collection itself. Critics claim that the starlet didn't actually design the clothes, but only called and emailed
In an interview with Vogue, Selman described the collection as "urban-inspired, unfussy with a hint of uptown" and is targeted at "cool hip girls who aren't super thin". Many of the pieces include form-fitting dresses, both mini and maxi lengths in muted colors such as black and grey. Almost all tops are cropped and navel bearing, as the line is heavily '90s inspired.

worked with Rihanna before, as he
is responsible for creating all of the
star's on-stage outfits.
The collection was described as "unsurprisingly slutty and yet tiresomely predictable," by the Daily Beast, an American news reporting and opinion website. At one point, Jess Cartner-Morley, the fashion editor of British national daily newspaper the Guardian, tweeted
Rihanna was also scorned for showing up an hour late to her 9-minute event. Though despite the negative response from critics, the line mostly sold out on the first day, and fans were crowded outside of River Island stores hours before they opened.
that a mouse had been spotted at the fashion show.
While I do agree the line lacks creativity and is nowhere near worthy of London Fashion week, it is very much "Rihanna" and fans will continue to support it despite its overpriced styles. Rihanna may often be heavily critiqued by many, but she has proved that she doesn't need the media's support to succeed in now both the music and fashion worlds.

COMMENTARY Bench players cause for concern
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansah.com
On Monday night, the Jayhawks came out and laid a beatdown on Texas Tech, the likes of which hadn't been seen since... well, their beatdown of West Virginia on Saturday.
kansan.com
Jeff Withey scored 22 points and calmly sunk his only 3-point attempt of his career. Elijah Johnson had 12 assists, six of which were on beautifully timed alley-oop passes that caused the crowd to get louder than Russell Westbrook's postgame outfits. Kevin Young, Travis Releford and Ben McLemore all scored in double figures.
You could look for negatives, but they are hard to find.
Unless you look a little deeper And by deeper, of course, I mean Kansas' bench.
Naadir Tharpe, Rio Adams, Andrew White, Perry Ellis and Jamari Trayler played for a combined 53 minutes, or an average of a little more than ten minutes each. They had one combined field goal coming on a Trayler layup in the first half. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was 1-9 and they picked up nine personal fouls. Meanwhile, the starters had a 17-3 assist to turnover ratio and only six fouls.
It's not like the bench was going against Oklahoma State's starting five. This is Texas Tech we are talking about. A perennial doormat, the Red Raiders might as well stitch "Welcome" on the front of their uniforms.
Granted, the bench players are accustomed to being interspersed among the starters during the course of the game. Most notably, Tharpe thrives when surrounded by the starters. However, when surrounded by his beach brethren, Tharpe couldn't even get enough room to attempt a shot.
That's not to say that I expect the bench to see the same kind of success that the starters have. But the drop off was far greater than expected. This might not be a huge concern this year, but looking to the future, the current bench is Kansas' future foundation.
In a three-minute stretch in the second half, Self put all five bench players in at once. Three minutes, two points (on Ellis free throws), and three turnovers later. Self put the starters back in.
Four of these players are freshmen. They will improve; Bill Self's track record speaks for itself. For example, early in their careers, who ever thought that Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar would be assets to a team that was favored to win a national championship?
However, even with prospects for improvement, the five minutes they played together were unsettling. One of those players needs to step up and be a go-to scorer and leader. Kansas may be able to rely on its stellar recruiting class next year, but notwithstanding last year's Kentucky team, freshmen need other players to ease the burden. Tharpe and Ellis are the best bets, but Tharpe is more of a facilitator, and Ellis needs to find a killer instinct.
After the layhawks won in 2008, it was clear that Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich were ready to transition from bench players to leaders.
Hopefully, one or more of Kansas' current bench players are willing to rise to that challenge.

Since that time, the Jayhawks mustered up 13 Final Four Appearances and three National Championships.
It's like comparing apples and oranges with the fayhawks long-standing basketball tradition, but Baylor appears to have turned the corner as a perennial contender for the top spots in the league.
However, this year has been a step back for the Bears as they've struggled to an 8-9 big 12 record

For the moment, it appears Baylor is out of the NCAA Tournament, but a win against Kansas could breath new life into a team desperately in need of a signature victory.

Kansas has had slow starts in both games against TCU this season. TCU had a 23-point lead at half in the first matchup. The lead wasn't quite as daunting on Tuesday night, but after the opening minutes TCU was ahead 17-10.
Senior Monica Engelman said that her nerves may have got to her in the first half of Tuesday night's game, as she couldn't help but think of it being her last game at Allen Fieldhouse. She scored just one point in the half. But in the second half, Engelman collected herself and scored 13 points, with three clutch 3-pointers. Engelman wasn't completely satisfied with her performance.
"We have to clean some things up," Henrickson said. "We broke down defensively and we gotta 'be a lot better offensive"
for the team to improve on.
"We're going to play them again, so we should be even more prepared." Engelman said. "We're gonna give a good game, so change the things that we didn't get right, and the things that we did well we need to repeat."

KANSAS TIPOFF
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KU
AT A GLANCE
With Kansas State tipping off against Oklahoma State at 12:30 on Saturday afternoon the Jayhawks will know well before their match with Baylor whether they will be playing for sole possession of the Big 12 title or a share of it. If Kansas and Kansas State both claim a portion of the title it'll be the fourth time on the Jayhawks' championship streak that they've tied for first.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Elijah Johnson, Guard
ing has been off the charts the past few games, which means he's seeing the court a lot better. But Johnson needs to keep up his hot score touch it
PETER WILSON
Johnson
the Jayhawks are going to reach their potential. If he does start to rack up points the game could be over in a hurry.
Can Ben McLemore light it up on the road?
QUESTION MARK
Since going off for 22 points in Columbus, Ohio against the Buckeyes, McLemore hasn't had any noteworthy performance on the road. Whether it's a mental issue or just a case of home-sickness, there's no reason McLemore shouldn't be a main benefactor of the Kansas offense regardless of the venue.
BY THE NUMBERS

Ben McLemore has recorded three games with at least 30 points, a Kansas freshman record.

Here's two reasons Ben McLemore needs to score at least six points on Saturday. He breaks Danny Manning's freshman record of 498 points and would reach the 500 plateau. It also would help McLemore's confidence to dominate on the road like he does at home. Regardless he's still the most dangerous player on either team.
M. R. BHARATI
BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
★★★★
TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD
On Senior Night Self called Releford "the rock" of the Jayhawks as well as the best perimeter defender in the nation. That's saying a lot given Kansas sits atop the Big 12 in field goal defense, but it'd be hard to argue against those sentiments. Not to mention he's good for 12 points per game and leads the Jayhawks in field goal percentage (59.1).
Very few teams in college basketball have an energy guy like Kevin Young who is also willing to do the dirt work and scrap up front. Keeping Young in the starting lineup down the stretch turned out to be one of the better decisions of the year for Bill Self. Not to mention his play above the rim has been a nice addition to Jayhawks' offense.
★★★★★
There's arguably no Jayhawk playing better right now than Elijah Johnson, and he still hasn't reached his peak. In the last two games, Johnson has had 19 points and 22 assists. The only thing Kansas coach Bill Self would like from his senior point guard is to see him shoot the ball a little more. Against Texas Tech, he attempted just eight shots.
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
★★★★☆
ELUAH JOHNSON, GUARD
★★★★
There isn't too much left for Withey to prove in college basketball. Unflappable shot blocker? Check. Elite rebounder? Check. Post game? Check. 3-point specialist? Check. The only thing that matters now is if Withey can continue to use all assets of his game at this high of a tempo. All signs indicate that's highly likely.

POLYMERIC UNIVERSITY
BRADY HESLIP, GUARD
Hestip is a 3-point marksman who's struggled from beyond the arc as of late, making only three of his last 16 attempts. For the season, he is shooting 39 percent from 3-point range. In the first matchup with Kansas this season, Hestip played only 17 minutes and had a quiet night offensively, missing all three of his shots and failing to score a point.
Jackson
A.J. WALTON, GUARD
★★★☆☆
Walton has fouled out four times this season, which may be something Kansas looks to exploit. He is the Bears' best rebounding guard at 3.5 rebounds per game and his 52 steals lead the team and is third in the Big 12. He had two steals when Baylor came to Lawrence earlier this season.
★★★☆☆
PIERRE JACKSON, GUARD
I
Jackson is right behind Walton with 44 steals, and he is fourth in the Big 12 in that category. He averages 19.1 points per game, which leads Baylor and tops in the Big 12 over Kansas' Ben McLemore by 2.6 points per game. He had a frustrating night in his first game against Kansas, shooting only 2-12 from the floor and 1-5 from 3-point range on his way to 10 points. Still, Jackson is in strong position to make All-Big 12 First Team.
★★★★★
CORY JEFFERSON, FORWARD
Jefferson
The junior shoots 57 percent from the field, third in the Big 12 behind Kansas' Travis Reileford and Jeff Withey. He is also fourth in the conference with an average of 8.3 rebounds per game and second with 1.97 blocks per game. Like Jackson, Jefferson never established an offensive rhythm in the first game against Kansas, failing to register a single point. Still, he and Isaiah Austin form one of the Big 12's best front courts.
★★★★

Austin
ISAIAH AUSTIN, CENTER
The freshman's 8.9 rebounds per game are second in the Big 12, and his 1.54 blocks per game are fifth. He is similar to Iowa State's Georges Niang in that Austin can step out and hit the 3-pointer, drawing Kansas' Jeff Withey away from the basket where he does his best defending. Only Heslip and Jackson have attempted more 3-pointers ior Baylor than Austin, who shoots 32 percent from beyond the arc.

BAYLOR TIPOFF
BAYLOR BEARS
AT A GLANCE
At one point this season, the Bears were 14-5 and looking at a decent seed in the NCAA Tournament. But they've lost eight of their past 11 games, including five of their last six, and are now firmly outside of the tournament. Barring a win against the Jayhawks and a couple of victories at least in the Big 12 Tournament, Baylor will be relegated to the NIT. However, Baylor might be the third-most talented team in the conference after Kansas and Oklahoma State.
Pierre Jackson, guard
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jackson
JAMES DAVIS
A strong candidate for First Team All-Big 12. Jackson has been on an offensive tear as of late, leading Baylor in scoring in four of the past five games and averaging 22.6 points per game during that span. He leads the conference in scoring and assists. If Baylor wants to make a final push to impress the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the senior will be the one to lead the charge.
Does Baylor still believe in itself?
QUESTION MARK
This is the final home game for Pierre Jackson and A.J. Walton, and it's a must-win game to keep Baylor even in the neighborhood of the NCAA bubble. But Baylor has only won three games in the past month and hasn't been getting victories despite having an abundance of talent. The Bears had Kansas State on the ropes last Saturday but then conceded the game-winning 3-pointer as time expired. If Baylor plays like it has the past month, the game will be just as ugly as the one in Allen Fieldhouse earlier this year.
BY THE NUMBERS

The number of Baylor's victories in its past 11 games.

Of the Bears' eight conference victories, only one has come against a team with a winning record.
22. 6
Pierre Jackson, the Big 12's scoring leader, is averaging 22.6 points per game for Baylor in the past five games.
A
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Isaiah Austin goes off Iowa State twice nearly upset Kansas this season, in part because its forwards were able to convert 3-pointers, which meant Withey had to leave the paint and guard on the perimeter. Austin shot 2-4 from 3-point range at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season and had 15 points. If he gets hot from outside, it could let Jackson penetrate the lane without worrying about Withey's presence.

America's favorite passtime is back for college, MLB
It's a beautiful, warm spring day. In one hand, you have a delicious hot dog and in the other, you have a cold beer. The smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of wood, and pops of leather are in the air. What more beauty could you want? Yes, folks, it's that time of year again: baseball season. Professionally, spring training has already begun. Meanwhile, college baseball teams are just starting their seasons.
By Michael Portman
mportman@kansan.com
What can we expect this baseball season? Just recently, many top-notch players and All-Stars are in the middle of being investigated by Major League Baseball for possibly receiving illegal substances from a clinic. Included in the list is former All-Star and somewhat notorious trouble-maker Alex Rodriguez. He is known to have taken illegal substances before. How could these allegations affect the teams throughout the season?
Another thing to expect for the season is many of the top teams in
baseball might not be at the top in the end. Here are my predictions of the division winners this year. In the American League East division, even though I am a huge New York Yankees fan, I think the Baltimore Orioles will come out on top. In the American League Central Division, I think the Cleveland Indians will turn it around this year and make a strong case for themselves. In the American League West, I believe it will be a tough race between the Oakland
Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels, with the Athletics coming out on top. For the National League East, after last season's triumphant year, the Washington Nationals will again be on top of the division. In the National League Central, I'm going with the Cincinnati Reds, who have a scary lineup. Lastly, for the National League West, the race between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be the best race throughout the year with the Dodgers coming out on top.
In college baseball, our Kansas Jayhawks are 6-5 overall so far with plenty of games left. None of these games were in Lawrence; they were mostly at neutral sites with only one of the games played at the actual opposing team's stadium. The top five teams in college baseball are: North Carolina, Vanderbilt, LSU, Oregon State and Florida State. In the Big 12, Oklahoma is the only ranked team as of now, but Texas just dropped
KU
out of the top 25. They will be the two teams the Jayhawks will need to watch out for this year.
America's pasttime is back again. Imagine wearing your favorite jersey with your favorite team on it and sitting at a game enjoying the scenery as the screams and cheers of fans around you sound off at the crack of the bat.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TRACK AND FIELD
Jayhawks head to NCAA Indoor Championships
COLIN WRIGHT cwright@kansan.com
The Kansas women's track and field team has proven that they can handle pressure. The experienced group, currently ranked second in the nation, has been ranked in the top 5 nationally all season, and that high ranking was solidified when they won the Big 12 Indoor Championship in Ames, Iowa, last month.
"The athletes are used to it," said coach Stanley Redwine in a press release. "That's why I'm glad our athletes have the experience they have. They know how to deal with the pressure of trying to be the best. As coaches, we don't put any more pressure than they put on themselves, because they want to do so well."
Before the outdoor season begins at the end of the month, they will have one more chance to add some hardware to the trophy case on the biggest stage of all, the NCAA Indoor Championships. The women's team will send 11 athletes to the event this weekend while the men's team will send just one.
The lone representative for the men's team is senior Kyle Clemons, who qualified in the 400 meters. His time of 46.44 is the fastest time in school history and also ranks as one of the 15 fastest times in the nation this season.
The women's team is coming off
a strong finish in the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships last year, in which it sent seven athletes and finished as national runner-up. This year, its goal is to go one step further and capture its first ever NCAA championship.
Junior Diamond Dixon defended her big 12 title crown in the 400 meters, and now, she will look to defend her NCAA title crown this weekend. The Olympic gold medalist currently has the ninth fastest time in the nation in that event.
Dixon will also be running in the 4x400 meter relay alongside seniors Denesha Morris, Paris Daniels and Taylor Washington. They posted a season best time of 3:33.71 last weekend in South Bend, Ind., and will look to improve on their third place finish last year.
Daniels will also be running in the 60 and 200 meters, where she currently sits at the tenth and sixth fastest time in the nation, respectively, in those events.
Seniors Andrea Geubelle and Francine Simpson will look to jump start the lajhwacks. The long jumpers are currently ranked first and second in the nation and Geubelle will try to repeat as national champion in the triple jump, where she currently ranks second in the nation.
In the pole vault, junior Natalia Bartnovskaya and Demy Payne will both compete. They currently boast the third and eighth best marks
in the nation this season, putting them in a prime position to pick up some points for the Jayhawks.
In the weight throw, senior Alena Krechyk will compete at the NCAA Championship for the second year in a row. Freshman Anastasiya Muchaykev will compete in the shot put, where she is currently ranked fourth in the nation.
Sophomore Lindsay Vollmer won the Big 12 Championship in the pentathlon and will look to do the same this weekend in her first trip to the NCAA Championships. She currently holds the school record in the pentathlon with a score of 4.123.
Because of the success the Kansas women's team has seen in 2013, coach Stanley Redwine was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year for the indoor season on Wednesday.
"I'm definitely excited about this, but I'm more excited for our athletes because this is just another honor for our program," said Redwine in a press release. "I'm thankful for both the athletes and assistant coaches because it's their hard work that put me in a position to get this award."
The Championship meet is all day this Friday and Saturday at Randal Tyson Track in Fayetteville, Ark., on the University of Arkansas campus.

Kansas focuses on success rather than on opponents
JOSEPH DAUGHERTY
jdaugherty@kansan.com
The Jayhawks are coming off of a 4-1 weekend in the Wolfpack Challenge. The team's offense was once again potent, allowing it to break the school record for most runs in a game with 20. This weekend, the team heads to Boca Raton, Fla., for the Florida Atlantic Tournament. The Jayhawks will play the likes of Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, Ball State, Louisiana-Monroe and the host Florida Atlantic. Boca Raton is another stop in the Jayhawks' 28 road games they have to start the season.
"When you are playing that many teams in one weekend, you focus more on yourself because it's hard to focus on each individual opponent," Smith said. "We will be more focused on what we need to do in all aspects of the games. But it is fun to play five different teams because you get a different look each game."
This weekend will be a little different for Kansas. Normally, they will play three or four different teams in a weekend and will usually play a team more than once. This weekend, Kansas will play five different teams and play each team once. Coach Megan Smith and players agree it is more about focusing on what they need to do to be successful rather than focusing on the teams they play.
The first team the Jayhawks will face this weekend is the Eastern Michigan Eagles. The Eagles are currently 4-6 on the season, coming off a loss to Florida Atlantic, and are slated to play three more
games before they square off with the Jayhawks. In each of the Eagles' losses this year, they have failed to score more than three runs all but once and have been shut out three times. The Eagles have a team batting average of .261 and are allowing opponents to hit .319.
The Spartans of Michigan State
are the second team the Jayhawks will face this weekend. The Spartans are 13-7 on the season but are on a four game winning streak. In the Spartans' winning streak, they have only

or more runs in two of those 13 losses. The Owls are only hitting .236 as a team and allowing an opponents' batting average of .255.
"I'm excited about the warm weather. Last week was freezing." Kessler said. "I am excited to just get out and play. Any opportunity to play is great."
"We will be more focused on what we need to do in all aspects of the games."
MEGAN SMITH Coach

hawks are hitting

allowing opponents to hit 308.
The Ball State Cardinals will be the third team the Jayhawks face off against this weekend. They have tallied an 8-8 record thus far. The Cardinals have five players batting better than .300, including one player hitting better than .400. The team is hitting an average of .309 and allowing opponents to hit .262 on the season. Junior Jennifer Gilbert will be a challenge for Jayhawk pitchers. She is the reigning Mid-American Conference player of the year and is hitting .440 this season.
Coach Smith said she thinks this weekend will be the most balanced weekend so far and each team will present a different challenge.
The host, Florida Atlantic, is the next team to face the lajwahays and is 7-13 this season. The Owlls have struggled to put up runs during the season's losses, only scoring three
Maggie and Rosie Hull both hope to keep playing well and are excited to keep implementing the mindset of focus on the team instead of the opponents that worked so well last weekend.

OUTFIELD
Kansas has a young group of outfielders in Michael Suiter, Tucker Tharp and Dakotas Smith. So far, the three starting outfielders have committed only three errors. The Jayhawks outfield has played particularly well. Kansas coach Ritch Price hasn't pointed out many flaws from this outfield. Against Niagara, Kansas should continue to play well in the outfield.
INFIELD
Captains and seniors Alex DeLeon, Jordan Drilling and Kevin Kuntz are going to be depended on quite a lot. The experienced group of infielders has helped the pitchers quite a lot this season and look to continue to play well with Big 12 play coming up soon after playing Niagara.
BATTING
Price would like a little bit more consistency when it comes to offense. The Jayhawks averaged a little under six runs in the series against Eastern Michigan, which is just a little bit short of their season average. Kansas finally gets a home game and the bats could come alive against Niagara for the home team.
OUTFIELD
INFIELD
PITCHING
Similar to the Jayhawks, the Eagles have a very young and talented core group of outfielders. Sophomore Jordan Schwartz has committed one error, which is the only error charged by the starting outfielders.
BATTING
Catcher Pavel Chavez-Rusova, second baseman Michael Fuhrman and third baseman Greg Rodgers are all freshman and are still learning the ropes of college baseball Junior shortstop Thomas Rodriguegs and senior first baseman Ryan McCaulley have been relied on a lot as the top veterans on this team.
Pitching has been the key to the layhawks' success so far this season. Senior Thomas Taylor earned his first complete game shutout last weekend. Junior Frank Duncan and Taylor each have an ERA of 2.21 and combine for 35 strikeouts off three starts for each pitcher.
PITCHING
Senior first baseman Ryan McCauley has the best batting average of any player on the team with a 294 average. Freshman third baseman Greg Rodgers, freshman catcher Pavel Chavez-Rusova and McCauley all co-lead the teams in home runs with two apiece. But they'll need more contributors if they want to overcome the Jayhawks' pitching rotation on the road.
The pitching for Niagara has not been hot this season. Opposing teams have had no problems firing way with ease, getting on base and reaching home plate with a run. Freshman Kyle Olver, who's been the most active pitcher with 15 innings pitched for the Eagles, has an ERA of 5.40 and has allowed 11 hits and nine earned runs. Kansas batters could have a good day against senior Jim Fort because he has allowed three home

UPSET ALERT
Nova Wildcats beat No.5 Hoyas in Philly
ASSSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — JayVaughn Pinkston scored 20 points to help Villanova beat a top-five team for the third time this season, 67-57 over No. 5 Georgetown on Wednesday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Wildcats (19-12, 10-8 Big East) also beat then-No.5 Louisville and then-No.3 Syracuse and have put themselves in solid shape for at least an NCAA tournament at-large bid. All three wins over top-five teams came at the Wells Fargo Center, the
site of tournament games the first weekend.
Otto Porter Jr. scored 17 points as the Hoyas (23-5, 13-4) had an 11-game winning streak snapped. The Big East leaders lost for the first time since Jan. 19, against South Florida.
Villanova students stormed the court in the first two wins and security lined the baseline again Wednesday. With students on break, only a few fans made the dash. That gave the Wildcats the chance to head behind the basket and salute the fans.

Cardinals Pitcher comfortable in return
ASSSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. - Knee fine, lake Westbrook got down to business.
And he enjoyed it.
Westbrook showed no ill effects of the bruised knee that forced him to leave his first spring start after one inning, limiting the Miami Marlins to a run and four hits over three innings of the St. Louis Cardinals' 7-2 win Wednesday.
"Getting my work in and getting the allotted innings I was supposed to throw was a lot nicer than having to come out because of a line drive," said Westbrook, who was struck below the knee by a comebacker in his first start.
Westbrook allowed a run in the third when Kyle Skipworth led off the inning with a double to center field and scored on Donovan Solano's two-out single to left.

"I was really pleased today the way I felt going out for the third inning," said Westbrook, who also struck out two in the third. "It's just another step, getting my innings in
Westbrook received all the support held need from a couple of early long balls.
Top prospect Oscar Taveras put St. Louis on top in the second inning, sending Tom Koehler's pitch over the center field wall for a two-run homer.
Matt Holliday added another two-run shot the following inning, reaching out to drive an 0-2 pitch to about the same spot where Taveras hit his.
Ronny Cedeno connected in the seventh, and Matt Adams and Rob Johnson added back-to-back homers in the eighth.
Koehler didn't help his chances of making the Marlins, failing to get out of the third inning. Koehler allowed four runs, seven hits and walked two batters in 21-3 innings.

Kansas plans comeback after last week's meet
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
The women's golf team didn't exactly rise to the challenge on the final day of the Sir Pizza Terrapin Challenge in Miami last week, but redemption is waiting for the Jayhawks; this time at the Longbow Golf Club in Mesa, Ariz., for the Clover Cup.
The Jayhawks were in third place with 18 holes to play in last week's tournament, but in the final
round, not one Jayhawk broke the 80 barrier and the team fell to a tie for a ninth-place finish.
"They belonged up, and they just needed a little more practice of
knowledge to use," O'Neil said.
"I've seen a lot of them working on their own out there, which is a good sign of having their heads in the right place."
All golfers that participated in the Sir Pizza Terrapin Challenge will be making the trip, but the lineup has changed. Gabby Di-Marco will take Aydey Yowell's No. 4 spot on the starting five, while Yowell will compete as an individual.
While dropping from third to ninth in tournament play is not ideal, it does give the team needed experience.
"We are all excited to head out there," O'Neil said. "We were so close last week, and I think we've learned a lot."
Hindering the jayhawks has been the recent snow and cold temperatures, restricting the jayhawks to their indoor practice
"I think we've learned a lot, and we are looking forward to getting out there again and putting that
being in that situation," said women's coach Erin O'Neil. "I think now their confidence is good, and they are ready to go."
Kansas was in the hunt for its first victory of 2013 last week, and being in the mix has sparked excitement for the Jayhawks to get back out on the course this week.

facility at the Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence. The practice facility has covered, heated hitting sections from which the players can hit to the outdoor
range. The facility also has different holes that help the jayhawks work "more on the technical" aspect of putting, Nell said.
"They were all very determined when they got back," O'Neil said. "I've seen a lot of them working on their own out there, which is a good sign of having their heads in the right place. They are much more determined to get out on the course and get back to work."
The indoor restriction, though, hasn't phased the layhawks' practice mentality since their return from the Terrapin Challenge.

lowa State beats OK-State in last-minute win at home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMES, Iowa — Senior Will Clyburn scored 20 points and Iowa State beat No.13 Oklahoma State 87-76 on Wednesday night to bolster its NCAA tournament hopes.
Georges Niang added 18 points for the Cyclones (20-10, 10-7 Big 12), who notched just their second victory over a ranked opponent.
IOWA STATE

Oklahoma State trailed by as many as 15 points, but Marcus Smart's reverse dunk made it 70-68 with 42.8 left. Clyburn answered with a 3 and Tyrus McGee's 3 a minute later put the Cyclones ahead 78-68.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Smart was brilliant for Oklahoma State (22-7, 12-5), scoring 24 points with eight rebounds and five steals. But it wasn't enough as the Cowboys lost for just the second time in 12 games.
Oklahoma State's last three wins were by an average of double digits and the Cowboys were rolling ahead of a key final league week against the Cyclones and No. 9 Kansas State.
There were only glimpses on Wednesday of the team that's spent the last six weeks plowing through the Big 12.
The Cowbys got within 67-64 after two steals by Smart led to two baskets. Smart made it a two-point game with his reverse in transition, but Clyburn's response gave the Cyclones the school record for 3s in a season.
Reserve senior Anthony Booker followed by drawing a crucial charge, which Korie Lucious converted into a tough layup.
Le Bryan Nash and Markel Brown both had 14 points for the Cowboys, who shot an abysmal 4 of 23 from 3-point range.
Oklahoma State was just one of four teams to rally from behind and beat Iowa State in the final minute this season.
The Cyclones did their best to ensure they wouldn't be in such a position again.
Iowa State, which blew a lead in the final minute and lost on Smart's buzzer-beater on Jan. 30, started the game on a 30-15 run. Niang buoyed the early spurt with 12 points, and Iowa State held the Cowboys scoreless on nine tries from 3-point range in building a 10-point halftime lead.

There are many clichés in college sports, but none more true than "you win your conference on the road." This saying is relevant at the moment because the Kansas women's tennis team is getting ready to start conference play on the road against two highly ranked teams.
The Jayhawks will play No. 40 Oklahoma on Friday and then turn around and play No. 28 Oklahoma State on Sunday.
Kansas was ranked in the International Tennis Associations' top-75 last week, but after clubbing the UMKC Kangaroos 7-0 last week, the Jayhawks were left off this week's list. This road trip
will be an excellent opportunity to see how the Jayhawks match-up with top teams, and climb back up the rankings.
For Kansas, the key to success for most of the year has been doubles play, but as of late, the singles play has played a major role in winning. This spring Paulina Los and Anastasija Trubica have been nearly unbeatable in singles play with the only loss between the two coming from Los against the Tulsa squad.
In store for Kansas on Friday is a Sooner team boasting a 6-3 record and having the No. 105 ranked singles player in Hermon Brhane, and the No. 49 doubles combo with Bhane and Whitney Ritchie.
tinue their remarkable play from last Thursday in order to leave Norman, Okla., with a win.
On the menu for Sunday is a Cow Poke team that has a 6-2 record along with the No. 58 ranked singles player in the country in Malika Rose.

These matches will be familiar to the jayhawks as the team has tangued with both foes in this fall's ITA Regional Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Kansas did not win any of those matches, and there is no time like the present to even the score.
Friday's match is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. and Sunday's match is slated for a noon start.

Jayhawks get a chance to assess as season starts
STELLA LIANG silang@kansan.com
The spring season for the Kansas rowing team starts this weekend at the Oklahoma Invite. The Jayhawks will compete in duals against the University of Central Oklahoma, Kansas State and host-team Oklahoma.
The layhawks have not competed since Nov. 4. With the snow and the river freezing over, the team has not practiced much on the water after the winter training trip. Instead, they have focused on fitness training.
Coach Rob Catloth said this competition is a preseason for the team, and he will look at the team's fitness level. Catloth said each rower will compete and rows will
be moved from different boats to see what works best.
Each dual will include races in First and Second Varsity Eight, First and Second Varsity Four and First and Second Novice Eight. Throughout the competition, Kansas will also send another Varsity Four team to single races against Minnesota and Tulsa.
that the Jayhawks have started the spring season at this event. Catloth said he wants to see improved times from earlier in the season and for the upper-classmen to lead the team.
This is the fifth year in a row
Looking forward to the rest of the season, junior Amanda Lewis said the team wants to place in the top two at the Big 12 Championship and have a chance to compete at
the NCAA Championship.
Kansas competes against UCO at 9:10 a.m. Saturday, K-State at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Oklahoma at 10:20 a.m. Sunday. The Oklahoma Invite also features Minnesota and Tulsa. The teams will compete on the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City.

Alaskan sled dog champions scrape to make proper living

Many muschers rely on sponsors, part-time work and prizes from smaller races. Others work in seasonal jobs in tourism, construction and commercial fishing. They skimp on luxuries — one couple even hunts moose to keep food on the table.

In the lead was four-time champion Lance Mackey, who blew out of Ophir 23 miles past Takotna at 5:45 a.m. Wednesday to begin the 80-mile run to the next checkpoint at the ghost town of Iditarod. Mackey has not yet taken his 24-hour layover.
Before the race, Mackey said he has two major sponsors, one for dog food and another for clothing. The Fairbanks musher gets kibble and clothing from them. But he has to scrape by for the money he needs to maintain his 80-dog kennel and pay his dog handlers.

To do it right takes him at least $5,000 a month, he said. He hasn't won the Iditarod since 2010, and has seen the number of sponsors drop off. His dogs used to command high prices when he sold them. Now he can't give them away, he said.

Doug Hollar, Laura Hollar's father, talks to students about his daughter's need for a marrow transplant. A registry will be held through Be The Match today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the KU Credit Union.

Laura Hollar, 24, didn't expect to face a challenge like acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After first being hospitalized on Dec. 26, Hollar is currently in remission in an intensive 30-day round of chemotherapy, staying in inpatient treatment at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
If this round of chemotherapy eliminates her cancerous cells, Hall will receive a stem cell transplant to re-start her immune system. She finds herself applying her Cellular Biology undergraduate knowledge to make decisions about her treatment options and to assure her family.
After graduating from the University in May 2012, Hollar had planned to take a gap year and apply to medical and chiropractic schools. Instead of backpacking through Europe this summer, she now plans to recover in outpatient care.
"I took a class my junior year called Molecular Biology of Cancer," Hollar said. "I've been actually passing that textbook around to my family."
"I've had everything from headaches to mouth sores to nausea," Hollar said. "I used to run and do yoga, and I've lost 90 percent of my muscle."
Potential donors must be between 18 and 44 years old. To register, potential donors must bring legal identification, fill out basic paperwork and swab a Q-tip on the inside of the cheek. A bone marrow donation with the same human leukocyte antigen tissue type helps to restart the immune system of cancer patients like Hollar.
The process of donating stem cells, said Kelly Allen from Overland Park. was easy and seamless.

"We want to get healthy, young people on the registry because they can be on the registry for 20-plus years," Lapham said.
In December, Be the Match contacted Allen, who registered as a potential bone marrow donor in 2010 because she was a preliminary antigen tissue match. After agreeing to go forward with a peripheral blood stem cell donation, Allen received another phone call within two hours. She went to a lab to get bloodwork done that very day. A few weeks later, she was confirmed as a near-perfect match and, after basic physical and blood work to make sure she was healthy, she was flown to Georgetown University in

Five days before the procedure on Dec. 22, 2012, Allen received an injection of filgrastim, a prescription drug that encourages the body to produce extra white blood cells, which then create extra stem cells that seep into the bloodstream. During four hours of watching movies and chatting with fellow donors, Allen had blood drawn from one arm, run through a machine to separate the platelets that contain the extra stem cells, and had the blood pumped back in through her other arm.

Allen said. "It's not chemical, it's not made in the lab, it's something that one person can give to another and it has a huge success rate. You get to be a part of something special."
While most donations can be done through peripheral blood stem cell donation like Allen's, which does not require anesthesia, marrow donation is a surgical procedure where a doctor makes a few incisions and uses a needle to collect bone marrow from the pelvic bone. Allen, who will be attending the registration drive to support, wants to dispel the myth that donating is painful or scary.
A month after her donation, Be the Match notified Allen that her recipient accepted her stem cells and he is now recovering. Because the donation process is anonymous, Allen doesn't know the individual whose life her bone marrow has saved. She hopes to meet him if both she and her recipient are willing one year after the donation.
"What I love about both Be the Match Foundation and the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society is that they have a direct impact on not only research but patient support," Allen said. "There's no other charitable organization that can immediately save a life so quickly and with such great impact."
"This is one of the only forms of cancer that there is actually a cure,"

taryn Miller, a senior from Winfield, sits in the bathroom sink, pressing the thick frames of her glasses against the mirror as she examines a rash that trails up her neck and through her tousled hair. It's not the typical sign of a hangover, but Miller recognizes it as the result of her brash decision to down a bottle of Heineken the night before.
"I knew that it was either a reaction to gluten or really, really bad dandruff." Miller said. "Sometimes I get lazy or forget to think about what I drink, but moments like that remind me that it's just as easy to grab a beer that I won't regret in the morning."

"My body is more sensitive to it now than ever," Miller said. "If I accidentally have a little gluten, I'm pretty miserable. I've never had appendicitis, but I'd imagine that probably the closest thing I can compare the pain to."
The protein not only poses problems for consumers of gluten-free products, but also for producers. Rigorous cleaning methods and the cost of additional equipment necessary for gluten-free certification discourage several brewers from contributing new products to the gluten-free beer market. Steve Bradt, the head of brewing and bottling at Free State Brewery, said issues of cross-contamination in the plant would complicate the already

the best quality of the brands we have now now," Bradt said. "We definitely don't want to spread ourselves too thin, especially in a market that is still pretty narrow."
Despite the limitations of a niche market, gluten-free brewers continue to pop up. When the Great American Beer Festival officially added a gluten-free category to its
competition in 2007, only eight beers were entered. At the 2012 festival, the category drew 20 entries.
Last week, the Kansas Craft Brewers Guild, of which Bradt is the president, hosted its second annual Kansas Craft Beer Exposition in downtown Lawrence. The Twenty-nine breweries from the Midwest were represented. Brewers from New Planet, a gluten-free brewery out of Fort Collins, Colo., featured their Raspberry Ale, Blonde Ale and Pale Ale.

Anheuser-Busch has been the leading U.S. brewer since 1957, with more than 100 brands and 12 American breweries.

UNIVERSITY GOES GREEN WITH "LIGHTS OUT!"
One of the biggest issues concerning the Millennial generation is the worldwide depletion of finite energy resources. This problem has caused many countries and companies to adopt more "green" energy agendas, and the University is no different.
The University Center for Sustainability is doing its part to help further the green agenda by launching its second annual "Lights Out!" energy saving competition. The competition began on March 7 and runs through April 17. The competition pitches major buildings across campus in a competition to see which one can save the most energy over a six-week period.
Fourteen different buildings will participate in the competition this year, including Bailey Hall, which won the contest last year. Each building's energy savings will be compared to the amount it used during the same period in 2011, and whichever makes the biggest improvement; will take home a traveling trophy as well as bragging rights for the next year.
The winner will be announced on April 22, which is also Earth Day.

CANCER FROM PAGE 1A
Despite the 9.5 million potentials donors registered with Be the Match, there is no match for Hollar. Only one in 540 people who register to donate are ever found as a match to a patient in need. Hollar's options are now limited to either an umbilical cord transplant or a haploid transplant, which have higher chances of bringing cancer back into remission or causing a graft versus host disease.
After recovering and completing medical or chiropractic school, Hollar now hopes to open a clinic or spa that would act as a liaison for cancer patients between hospitalization and outpatient care.
"I can't imagine not having the support that I've had from my family and being able to completely rely on them," Hollar said. "I can't imagine trying to do any of this on your own so I want to open something up that provides an affordable place to go and have someone there to help you"
"We're still holding out hope that by some miracle of a chance that something pops up — that somebody's a match somewhere," Hollar said. "But there are other options."
Hollar's mother and stepfather are both retired and have dedicated themselves to staying with her. Hollar receives letters, notes and gifts from distant friends, her grandmother's friends and even complete strangers. Her neighbors have taken to cooking meals for Hollar that meet her chemotherapy diet. She recently discovered her name on the prayer list at a church she had never heard of.
"There have been nights where I've had to lay on the bathroom floor for five hours because I was in so much pain," Hollar said. "My mom ended up making a palette for me on the bathroom floor and sitting with me, talking to me and holding my hand. I want to be able to do something like that for other people because there's no way I could have made it through like I have without my family and friends."
In the midst of chemotherapy, Hollar would sleep for 20 hours a day. When she was able to get online, she was shocked and touched
by the volume of people who had sent her text messages, posted on her Facebook wall and left messages for her on her CaringBridge journal. She describes her journey fighting cancer as life-changing and stresses how important it is for people, especially healthy 20-year-olds who will be viable on Be the Match's registration list for decades, to reach out to patients.
"It's less painful than giving blood, to get registered for it," Hollar said. "There are people out there who have got it much, much worse than I do. Registering could make a huge difference and save that person's life."
While potential donors need not pay any money to register, lab fees to check each potential donor for an exact chromosomal match costs $100. Thanks to the donations collected online and through friends, Hollar has already raised $6,985. To donate to the registration drive, visit bethematchfoundation.org/goto/TeamLaura.

Attorney on trial for handling of ticket scandal case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — The previous attorney for a former University of Kansas athletics consultant is expected to testify Monday at an evidentiary hearing to determine whether he did a poor job in defending his client during the prosecution of a $2 million ticket scalping conspiracy.
property.
U. S. District Judge Monti Belot wants to hear from Thomas Blubaugh's defense attorney as he considers whether to grant the convicted man's request for a shorter sentence. Blubaugh was sentenced in April 2011 to 46 months in prison after previously pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States through wire fraud, tax obstruction and interstate transportation of stolen
Blubaugh, who has been serving time at a federal prison in Oklahoma, has asked a judge to reduce his prison sentence to no more than 33 months.
He contends the court improperly considered the value of tickets for sporting events that had passed, so-called deadwood files, which he had hidden in a private storage facility. Blubaugh also claims he had ineffective counsel, saying his attorney assured him that the prosecutor had promised he would get probation in return for helping the government even if all the defendants pleaded guilty and the case never went to trial.
PAGE 3A
Belot said last month he was surprised neither side called Blubaugh's former attorney,
Stephen Robison, to testify at last month's hearing on the request. The judge took the rare step of setting another hearing so he could listen to Robison's testimony.
The court also granted a prosecution request seeking copies of Robison's defense file on the case, finding Blubaugh waived attorney-client privilege when he made a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.
Blubbaugh has challenged his sentence in a pleading from prison in which he claims the court erred in allowing the government to use information he provided to adjust the amount of loss attributed to him. He argued his plea agreement prohibited the government from using the previously concealed "deadwood" tickets he turned
over in determining his guideline sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Hathaway has argued in court filings that prosecutors already knew about the tickets even before Blubaugh told them they had not actually been destroyed. The government also took issue with the claim of ineffective counsel claim by noting that his defense attorney had vigorously pressed the issue of the "deadwood" tickets in two sentencing memorandums and at the sentencing hearing. Hathaway argued in a court filing that an attorney is not ineffective simply for failing to win an argument.
vided substantial assistance to the government and that the sentence would be up to the judge to decide.
Blubaugh and his wife, Charlotte, the university's former ticket director, were among seven people convicted in a scheme involving tickets to football and basketball games. Five people were convicted of conspiracy and were sentenced to prison terms after all pleaded guilty. Two others who cooperated early with prosecutors were given probation sentences after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of failing to tell authorities about the scheme.
Hathaway also pointed out that the defendant himself acknowledged in his plea agreement that he had not yet pro-

Goats could benefit campus in many ways
We've all seen it. The video begins with Taylor Swift singing "I Knew You Were Trouble," and next thing you know, a goat is screaming along with the music. Goats have received attention recently for their featured vocals in some of today's popular hits; however, few realize the potential of goats to be revolutionary.
I began thinking about goats as more than just adorable creatures after seeing Rich Addicks's short film, "Weed War." This film is seriously incredible. It shows Mark Harbaugh, Patagonia fly-fishing representative and goat rancher, making a sustainable effect in the Rocky Mountains.
Mark Harbaugh is passionate about goats and the benefits of using them as weed control over toxic chemicals. He makes the point that goats cost a third of
the price of chemical spray, create no environmental damage and improve the habitat. Specifically, Harbaugh combats Leafy Spurge, a weed with a 20-foot taproot that produces a milky lactate, which deters most animals from eating it. He has designed a system that takes the same amount of time as chemical management by combining goats to break down the weeds and then releasing certain types of beetles to finish decomposing the remainder of the plant.
By Jenny Stern
jstern@kansan.com
Rich Addick supports the documentary with some jaw-dropping facts. In 2001, nearly 5 billion pounds of chemicals were used in the United States to kill weeds and insects. Only 5 percent of these chemicals reached their intended destination. Invasive plants cause more than $20 billion in economic damage due to
the fact that they affect millions of acres of private and public lands. A goat eats 16 hours a day, and noxious weeds are a favorite meal choice. A herd of 3,000 goats can eat their way through 50 acres of weed in one day.
Goats prove themselves as more than sustainable. Cheryl K. Smith includes self sufficiency as a benefit of having goats in the book "Rasing Goats for Dummies." Goats produce milk, fiber and meat. According to Smith, goats can be milked for
three years without rebreeding.
Fibers produced by goats include mohair, cashmere, and a fiber called cashgora.
So now that we know goats are an awesome sustainable and self-sufficient resource, where do we go from here? I truly believe the University should invest in a herd of goats.
The addition of goats to our campus would promote the University as an environmentally responsible school, even more so than its current impressive reputation. Goats would further the Campus Sustainability Plan by creating a more efficient and ecofriendly alternative to chemicals. In the plan's vision, it states, "By utilizing the campus as a living laboratory and engaging students and faculty in campus projects, KU can find ways to complete tasks more efficiently." Beyond
this, goats could easily be used for recruitment.
TECHNOLOGY
The campus would save money on weed-killing chemicals and have a new unique defining factor. The KU bookstore could sell a line of clothing made from authentic KU goat yarn. The Underground could have food made with local goat products. The goats could be incorporated into classes, and jobs would be created in order for care and management of the goats. I can't think of a better on-campus job than a goat herder.
I understand the limitations of this idea, but as Harbaugh said, "Doing the right thing can be profitable and it is very heartwarming and gratifying at the end of the day."

Tablets making learning environments paperless
Trees everywhere should be rejoicing. Every day it’s becoming more and more clear that our generation might be the last generation to use low-tech tools, like paper books, for school and work.
While I really don't like the idea of a tablet take over — I enjoy the tangibility of a heavy book and flipping pages — I'm not going to stand in the way of innovation; I just will wait until it sweeps me up with it.
By Andrew Simpson asimpson@kansan.com
To be honest, the main reason I'm already lagging behind this revolution is because I don't have a tablet. I have my laptop to write word documents, and I've almost stopped bringing that around with me because Blackboard, ESPN and Reddit all work pretty well on my phone. The only complaint I have against high-tech learning is that no one (read as "me, myself and I") likes the format of those online quizzes on Blackboard.
I've only recently started to join in on all the fun after buying a language-learning app called MindSnacks. It's mind blowing. Spending 15 minutes a day playing games just as fun as Temple Run has me speaking better Italian than a semester of school (in your defense Italian department, my Italian writing is worse than abysmal). You know
how you should start teaching children a new language before kindergarten? Give an iPad with MindSnacks to preschoolers, and they would be polygls in three weeks.
According to Wired, the number of teachers who had at least one tablet in their room jumped from 20 to 35 percent last year, and 43 percent of Advanced Placement students are using tablets to complete assignments in class. My high school was no exception; it bought a cartload of iPads for the foreign language department. My German class was only able to use them once (because who cares about German, right?), and all we did was use the Internet to translate words instead of old, decaying dictionary, but nevertheless, it was still awesome.
Imagine if there were apps like this for algebra and calculus, or chemistry and physics. Your textbook would be like
something out of Harry Potter:
"Having trouble visualizing organic chemistry structures?
Here, turn the page and watch a video." Word problems could become miniature games at the end of a lesson: a problem about velocity and acceleration in Physics 101 could turn into a really, really difficult round of Angry Birds.
Are you still imagining? Then stop. According to the same Wired article, apps like those already exist. For people who learn visually, like me, this would be a godsend.
I'm excited, guys. Pretty soon (like everything I tell you about, "soon" means "for your children"), school desks will just be giant touch screen computers. All you need in your backpack is a single tablet with all of your books and homework installed. Hell, if we're lucky, teachers might start broadcasting their lectures to your tablet, and you wouldn't even have to leave your bed. The future of education might be fun, ladies and gentlemen. I'm actually disappointed it's coming after our time in the system.

CULTURE
Repent your awful music preferences
Lent is in full swing. For those of you who are religious, it's a time to sit back and atone for all the sins you've committed against your fellow man by eating those new Fish McBites at McDonald's. But I find it also a good time to reflect on the sins you've committed against your eardrums (and the eardrums of the person across the hall from where you shower). That's right, there's no time like the present to make a musical confession! I'll lead the way.
Forgive me, readers, for I have sinned. Over the past few months, I have listened to the following:
1. A hideously overproduced funk-rock number by one-hit-wonders Ian Dury and the Blockheads entitled "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick," about a third of whose lyrics are in horribly broken German and French because it sounds more exotic that way. I have a feeling that the frontman was either too drunk or too British to notice the innuendo on this track, because he shouts the titular line earnestly and without a hint of irony. I tell you, if I ever get so strapped for cash that I have to become a gay porn star, I'm co-opting this as my theme song.
2. "Happy Boy," a minute-long ode to a roadkilled dog by alternative-country band The Beat Farmers. Unlike most songs dealing with death and loss, this one features a sing-a-long chorus and an instrumental break in which the melody is carried by a kazoo player and a man gargling a glass of water. Sometimes, when I'm singing this song in the shower, I'll stand under the showerhead with my mouth open for a few seconds to make sure I've got enough liquid to produce the same rich, gurgly timbre as the band's drummer did back in '85. I once burned my mouth quite badly doing this, but the resulting screams were indistinguishable from the gargles on the Beat Farmers' live album, so I called it a victory.
3. "Sex Dwarf" by Soft Cell.
I once walked from the Union all the way to Wescoe Hall while listening to this song, singing along to about half of the lyrics because that was all I knew.

mumbling something in a nasally voice about having tea-time in his little playroom with disco dollies — that was probably me. If you remember the weird, hip swinging dance I did on the way up the stairs into Wescole, as well keep that fresh in your mind; it's prime blackmail material.
But just confessing your sins isn't enough. You've got to do some musical penance, too, in the form of weird, overly experimental albums that you listen to once and then can't even be bothered to delete from your iTunes library. For my penance this year, I elected to listen to "Trout Mask Replica," a landmark noise-rock album by Captain Beeheart & His Magic Band. It's an hour-and-a-half of awful blues songs that managed to garner critical acclaim despite being saddled with unfortunate, stream-of-consciousness titles like "Neon Meat Dream of a Octafish." For that hour-and-a-half, I felt a cathartic rush of sensation coursing through my entire being. Or maybe it was just the convulsions of laughter brought on by nonsensical lyrics like "That's right, The Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous! Also, a tin teardrop!" It's hard to tell the difference sometimes. Nevertheless, I felt like the biggest hipster on the planet. And isn't that how music is supposed to make you feel?
I urge you to atone for your sins in a similar fashion. I've confessed mine out in public, but all you need to do is find a friend who you can trust not to do a spit-take when he finds out you listen to "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies on repeat and who won't mind recommending you some musical Fish McBites to cleanse you afterward. Hell, you could even come look for me: I'll be outside of Wescoe, gyrating wildly while singing something about violating people.

Delevingne, a 20-year-old British model, seemed to be in just about every runway show in every city. And if she wasn't in the actual show itself, she was sitting in the front row.

named her the "star face" of the autumn and winter 2012-2013 show season, after she walked in 31 different shows last fall.
Delevinge isn't going anywhere soon, either. As if ruling fashion week in each of the fashion capitals of the world wasn't enough, Delevinge is also the face of Chanel's Resort 2013 campaign, as well as Burberry for yet another season. You may recognize her from past campaigns for both H&M and Zara as well. As if the overwhelming amount of success wasn't enough, Delevinge is also best friends with singer Rita Ora and One Direction's Harry Styles. It seems there's hardly anything this model can't do, except maybe take a bad photo. As far as the fashion world is concerned, it's Cara Delevinge's world, and we're just living in it.

"Batman Incorporated" writer kills off fan favorite
R
By Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
The Dark Knight from "Batman Incorporated" poses with his son and latest Robin incarnation, Damian Wayne. Damian Wayne is the fourth Robin to perish at the hands of DC Comics writers.
Superhero or not; one thing is for sure; Batman is running the world's deadliest internship program.
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY DC COMICS
In last month's issue of "Batman Incorporated," renowned scribe Grant Morrison hurled a controversy-charged batarang through the heart of the DC Nation when he decided to kill off Damian Wayne, the fourth Boy Wonder and genetically perfect offspring of Bruce Wayne and supervillainess Talia al Ghul. Despite being a relatively recent addition to the Bat family, the caustic, pinstized assassin had grown into an enduring fan favorite, and the outcry over the 10-year-old's death made international headlines, even in The New York Post and other publications that don't make a habit of covering fictional events.
Morrison, who created the character shortly after DC handed him the reigns to the "Batman" series in 2006, insists that Damian's demise was years in the planning and defends the graphic violence used to depict the sidekicks' final struggle against his growth-accelerated clone, a hulking, scimitar-wielding abomination known as the Heretic.
This isn't the first time the Dark Knight's junior partner has met with an untimely end. In 1988, hoping to offset sagging sales, DC editor Dennis O'Neil came up with the idea of letting his readers decide the fate of a major character. The first Robin, circus acrobat Dick Grayson, had outgrown the mantle and now fought alongside Batman under the persona of Nightwing. His replacement was Jason Todd, a petulant street urchin whose origin involved him attempting to steal the tires off the Batmobile.
Unlike the loyal, light-hearted Grayson, Todd was a maladjusted teen rebel who smoked, cussed and regularly questioned Batman's authority, especially his commitment to non-lethal force. He was largely unpopular with
the fans, and when O'Neill held a telephone poll on whether or not to kill the character, a slim majority (5.343 to 5.271) voted in favor of the young man's demise. The result was "A Death in the Family," the infamous four-issue story arc that culminated with Robin being savagely assaulted and ultimately murdered by the Joker.
So why do we get so worked up over the fate of imaginary characters? From the off-camera shooting of Bambi's mom and the traumatic regicide/fraxtide of Mufasa to J.K. Rowling's wholesale slaughter of seemingly half the wizarding world in the finale of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," our first intimate encounters with death are often experienced through the protective lens of fiction. Some characters take up residence in our hearts, and losing them can hurt. These experiences are both cathartic and instructive, a training-wheels version of the grieving process that promotes the necessity of letting go and moving on.
revitalizing experience for the series, which before his arrival had been plagued by static characters and flat, repetitive storytelling. His Damian was a Robin unlike any other, a brash, boastful little hellion the Scottish writer used as the impetus behind his plan to shake the cobwebs off a stagnant franchise.
I've watched people who don't cry during funerals break down during certain episodes of "Scrubs" or at the end of movies like "Big Fish" and "Grave of the Fireflies". And even though I know he's experiencing what amounts to a transcendental wardrobe change, I still can't make it through Gandalf's death in "Fellowship of the Ring" without rolling a tear or two.
As an avid fan of the Caped Crusader since childhood, I can say that Morrison's run on "Batman" has been a remarkable,
Grown in an artificial womb
it became obvious he was just a lost boy in search of an absent father. By the time of his death, he was redeemed in full, a hero who died defending the innocent while his parents were busy fighting each other.
and trained from birth by the League of Assassins to kill for sport and profit, the boy came to Gotham City as Talia's final taunt to her darling Detective, a living denouncement of everything Batman supposedly stands for. Yet as the series went on and Damian had the opportunity to bond with the rest of the Battfamily, especially Dick Grayson,
I know comics have an unfortunate habit of never letting the dead rest for long. Even Jason Todd was eventually resurrected as a wisecracking vigilante called the Red Hood. I just hope Morrison, who's leaving the series after wrapping up "Batman Incorporated," has the Bat-cojones to tell the other writers that Damian is officially offlimits. This bird has flown.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
The YouTube phenomenon of the "Harlem Shake" has popped up in spots all over the world, but in Tunisia it's more than just a curiosity or a fad — it has become part of a bitter rivalry between the secularists and Islamists striving to shape the identity of this North African nation as it transitions to democracy after years of dictatorship.
"Harlem Shake" strikes Tunisia
TUNIS, Tunisia — After attacks by religious extremists, the assassination of an opposition politician and the resignation of the prime minister, Tunisia is now being assailed by... an Internet dance craze.
Videos posted by Tunisian students have provoked a violent backlash by conservative Muslims, condemnations from the education minister and hundreds of new copycat videos online.
In Tunisia, the "Harlem Shake" craze comes just over two years since a revolution overthrew a repressive secular dictatorship and ushered in new freedoms, including for religious ultraconservatives known as Salafis who are eager to impose their will — even violently at times. Salafis are suspected in the killing of leftist opposition leader Chokri Belaid, an assassination that triggered the resignation of Tunisia's prime minister earlier this year.
The global Internet sensation involves a 30-second video showing first one person dancing, then dozens grating maniacally to the song "Harlem Shake," recorded by Brooklyn disc jockey and producer Bauer. Thousands of new videos of everyone from Norwegian soldiers to Australian teenagers and now Tunisian students doing the "Harlem Shake" are now online.
Tunisia's experience with the video began with a group of students at Tunis' El Menzah high school producing their own version,
Opinions over the videos have been split, with some calling it immoral and provocative — even going so far as to call the students unbelievers and marked for death — while others seeing it as typical of humor in Tunisia, where many retain strong secular tastes.
In the El Menzah high school video, a single student dances to the song, quietly watched by others until the halfway point; then the video cuts to a whole slew of students, some in their underwear, some dressed as bearded Salafis and some as Gulf emirs flailing around.
which then spawned a host of copycat videos all over the country.
In the coastal city Mahdia, one student received 12 stitches on his head after beaten following one attack. In the southern city Sfax and in the resort city Sousse, police have had to intervene and separate groups battling over the right to make a "Harlem Shake" video.
The video sparked an angry reaction from Minister of Education Abdellatif Abid, who last week announced an investigation of the school's principal for allowing an "indecent" video to be filmed on the premises.
"This dance for us represents a way to vent, to forget for a little while all the stress we've been under for the past year," said Sabiha, a 21-year-old university student who protested Friday in front of the Education Ministry against the minister's investigation, performing a version of the dance.
Her colleague Saber, 24, who also did not want his last name used because of the tensions surrounding the song, said being able to dance like this was a fruit of Tunisia's revolution.
"We wanted to take advantage of our newfound freedoms thanks to the revolution, after the years of harassment and repression," he said.

A model dressed as a Playboy bunny poses with the first Hebrew language edition of the popular men's magazine in Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday. A U.S. emigre, Daniel Pomerantz, on Tuesday launched the first Hebrew language edition of the popular men's magazine. It's not clear how well the magazine will be received in the Holy Land, where religious sensitivities simmer under the surface and observant Jews and Muslims live by strict modesty rules. Adult magazines and videos are freely available, but not with local models and not in Hebrew.
Playboy premieres new Hebrew language version
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israelis can now read Playboy 'for the articles' as a Hebrew language edition came to the holy land Tuesday.
Playboy has been widely available in Israel for years but this marks the first local edition of the magazine. It features Israeli models and articles by Israeli writers.
PAGE 7A
Owner and publisher Daniel Pomerantz launched Playboy Israel in Tel Aviv on Tuesday at a press conference, standing next to a tall model wearing the trademark ears and tail of a Playboy bunny.
"Our target is men who want a taste of the good life and also women who are curious about the tastes of the men in their lives." Pomerantz said. "I believe that the special formula that has brought Playboy to a rare level of success throughout the world will continue to succeed in my new home Israel."
Cover girl Nataly Dadon posed
next to a big cut-out of the magazine featuring her on the cover topless in lacy underwear. She said she was happy and excited to be in the first edition of Playboy Israel.
It's not clear how well the magazine will be received in the holy land where observant Jews and Muslims live by strict modesty rules. Religious zealots have frequently burned down bus stops with ads of fully dressed women and have prompted major advertisers not to use female models regardless of how modestly they are covered up.
Erotica is freely available but not with local talent in Hebrew. The Israel edition of Penthouse, the traditional and more daring rival of Playboy, flopped when it debuted here in 1989.
Pomerantz said he got the idea for the Hebrew Playboy while working as a lawyer in Chicago where the magazine's headquarters used to be and where he became friends with Playboy lawyers. At the same time he was making visits to Israel where he decided he wanted to live. It was during a trip to Israel that he noticed the country was lacking a Hebrew edition and so the adventure began.
Pomerantz is confident the magazine will succeed. "Israel is a very complicated country with tradition and modernity and also with serious things and fun fashionable things and that is exactly the character of Playboy. It is a complicated and beautiful magazine for a complicated and beautiful country," he said.
"People will see just from the words Playboy Israel that we are a normal country, fashionable, modern, people who work every day with a passion and if you read Playboy magazine you see that it's not just beauty and fashion but it's also depth and politics and issues, people who care and think about the world they live in," he said.

Seldom do students have an opportunity to see a performing group from another country. Last Friday, the Lied Center hosted a performance from the Swiss pantomime troupe known as MUMMENSCHANZ, who visited Lawrence as part of their 40th anniversary tour.

entertained both the young and old in the audience. Michele Berendsen, Marketing Communications Director at the Lied Center, also expressed enthusiasm about the troupe's performance.
Christilles said that the troupe's performance was booked around this time last year and they were eager to have them.
The troupe performed their routines with inanimate objects and used them to create their own characters, including a pair of hands that opened the show as well as different faces and other types of creatures.
The troupe's name is derived from an old English term for a mime artist. This characterizes their performances, which often use masks and lighting to give the show a surreal quality.

"It is exciting to have such a unique group of performers visit the Lied Center," said Berendsen. "Without dialogue, body language and movement are used to .transcend cultures and amuse the whole family."
"It's fantastical performance, mime theater and every child's dream," said Karen Christilles,
The performance was well-received by the audience.
"We heard 'oh they're going to be on tour here in the U.S.' and they're going to be touring here in a particular time frame and you would have an opportunity to have them here," said Christilles. "Since it's their 40th anniversary tour we thought that made it special."

Bieber recovers for final performance in London
THEATRE # SHOW
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Canadian singer Justin Bieber performs at the 02 Arena in east London. A spokeswoman for Bieber said Thursday that the 19-year-old pop star was given oxygen and took a 20-minute reprieve after fainting backstage. Bieber finished his London concerts and moves on to Portugal tonight.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Ahhhhh! Rough morning. Trying to feel better for this show tonight but let the paps get the best of me," the singer posted on Twitter soon after the altercation with the photographer, which took place as he got into a car. The scuffle was captured on video by Channel 5 News and widely broadcast by Britain's media.
LONDON — It's been a rough week for Justin Bieber: Getting booed for being late, struggling to breathe mid-performance and fainting backstage and then getting caught on camera clashing with paparazzi.
But the 19-year-old pop sensation appeared to have recovered Friday for his final concert in London, singing and dancing to thousands of adoring fans at the O2 Arena.
"Sometimes when people r shoving cameras in your face all day and yelling the worst thing possible at u..well I'm human. Rough week," he wrote on Twitter.
Earlier Friday, the star made headline when he got into an altercation with insult-hurling paparazzi. He lashed out at a photographer with a stream of expletives and was restrained by minders.
The clash came just hours after Bieber said he was "getting better" following breathing problems he suffered during the previous night's concert. The star took a short break to go backstage, where he was given oxygen. He had to be briefly hospitalized for a check-up.
A spokesman for the O2 Arena said Bieber was treated backstage during Thursday's concert after becoming short of breath, but recovered and finished his set.
"He was treated by our team of

Bieber later posted a shirtless photo of himself in a hospital bed, saying he was getting better and listening to Janis Joplin. Before that on Twitter he thanked "everyone pulling me thou tonight."

"Best fans in the world," he wrote. "Figuring out what happened. Thanks for the love."
The AP spoke to 18-year-old journalism student Prithvi Panda, who shot the footage, to confirm its authenticity.
"When he started 'Beauty and a Beat' you could see he was struggling," said Pandya, who was near the front of the crowd. "He took lots of drinks of water, that seemed unusual, and he was really sweaty, swaitec a helluva lot.
"Toward the end of it, he went backstage. We didn't see him fainting. They brought on dancers to entertain, and I knew something was wrong at that point."

Jazz Chappell, a 20-year-old concertgoer who brought her younger sister and her friend to the show, said that In the nearly 30 minutes he was offstage, some fans started to leave. Once his manager announced what had happened, Chappell said many fans in the audience were gasping and crying, while others kept cheering for him to return.
Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, appeared onstage and told
"I thought, 'Give the guy a break. He just fainted. He's not a performing horse. Let him rest a second," Chappell said.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. The boy-band phenomenon One Direction is coming to the Mall of America for six weeks.
But the fab five won't be there in the flesh. A pop-up store offering all manner of swag branded with the likenesses of the British singers opens on March 16, selling posters, calendars, T-shirts and a chance to win prizes including coveted tickets to their summer tour.
05-3040 2013 Northwest Mutual is the marketing name for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, Milwaukee, WI (NM), life and disability insurance, annuities the local office listens to support Representatives. Products and services referenced are offered and sold only by appropriately licensed individuals.
But the armies of young fans (and their parents) that the store is expected to bring to the mall may serve as a shot in the arm to brick-and-mortar stores as they fight to combat online competition and remain a destination.
It's part of the latest push to build the buzz and bottom lines of the English-Irish pop stars, whose meteoric rise has become a $50 million business enterprise.
"The real winner is not just the band but also the Mall of America," said Michael Brown, a retail analyst with global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney. "As more people shop online, they're putting in a shop that could draw hundreds or thousands of people to the mall who might not have come out to shop."

"We put together an exclusive line just for the store," Stone said. "The concept is basically taking a concert retail operation: out of that venue and moving it into a retail store."
The first store launched almost on a lark in Sydney, Australia, for a couple of weekends last year, and more than 2,500 young fans showed up for the opening. The pop-up concept has since spread to New Zealand, Sweden, Spain and Canada, with a couple of stores finally heading to London.

The temporary store, which will be called 1D World, is the third to open in the United States and one of 20 expected to open by the end of the band's tour in August, said William Stone, the U.S. project manager for the 1D World stores.
After competing on the British TV singing show "X Factor" in 2010, One Direction catapulted onto the music scene. Their voices and charisma (and great hair) won the hearts of teenage girls everywhere. The band has more than 13.7 million Facebook fans and 10.4 million followers on Twitter.
The Mall of America store will be heavy on accessories, with 120 items including rings, wrist
One Direction goes beyond most celebrity retail endeavors. They've got duvet covers, dolls, even a toothbrush that plays their hit, "One Thing," to encourage kids to brush longer through the two minutes of music. British catalog giant Argos signed One Direction to launch a line of silver bracelets and necklaces in its spring-summer issue.
"Years ago, there were record stores and CD stores that could move the intellectual properties," Brown said. "With everything being digital, more artists and more acts are going to have to find creative venues to bring their brand to the market."
The store opening comes in advance of a sold-out show on July 18 at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis, where scalpers are selling tickets for hundreds of dollars.
The pop-up store is emerging as a new merchandising channel for the music industry.

COMMENTARY Jayhawks adjust with deception
By Trevor Graff
tgraff@kansan.com
For Kansas baseball, small ball — playing the game with the goal of moving baserunners one base at a time is as routine as a lazy fly ball to centerfield.
Coach Ritch Price placed a large emphasis on the "money-ball" brand of baseball that puts constant pressure on an opposing team's defense, getting on base early in innings and moving baserunners.
In this weekend's series against Niagara, the Jayhawks recorded 24 stolen bases, the most since Price took over the program in 2003. This increased aggressiveness isn't simply reckless abandon, but a deliberate change in the team's mentality.
"It's been a point of emphasis, not only stealing second but stealing third," Price said. "It's a necessity. We're just trying to be ultraaggressive and read the ball in the dirt and the guys took advantage of the pitchers today."
The Jayhawks have chosen to become the baseball version of the Mafia. They're playing to take what is theirs on the basepaths, make sacrifices at the plate and follow up with solid defense on the opposite side of the ball.

A closer look at the loss to Baylor
PAGE 4B
With Purple Eagle catchers struggling behind the plate, the Jayhawks got their opportunity to show just how refined they've become on the basepaths. Senior third baseman Jordan Dreiling and sophomore outfielder Michael Suiter are tied for the team lead with eight of the total 44 stolen bases on the season.
No organized crime family can survive without solid defense. Without the ability to protect family interests, no amount of aggression matters. Kansas boasts a 98 percent fielding percentage while committing 13 errors in the first 15 games of the season.
At the moment, the baseball mentality at Hoglund Ballpark is simple. As a player, it's time to get crafty on the basepaths. Sacrifice at the plate and protect the best interests of the family surrounding you.
Not only is this team adept in the art of deception, but it's more than willing to sacrifice, especially when RIBs are on the table.
Price's emphasis on manufacturing runs led to this change of mindset, but just like the Mafia, it isn't just a racket on the basepaths that has led to Kansas aggressive offense. This team sacrifices for the good of the family at the plate.
With 15 games under their belt, the Jayhawks have counted 18 sacrifice fly balls. Take into account that the same squad hit 14 sac flies in the entireity of last season and you can see the improvement from a station-to-station baseball perspective.
Assertiveness on the basepaths is an offer the Jayhawks can't refuse.
Edited by Brian Sisk
The Jayhawks are running at the moment, stealing bases with the precision of an Al Capone money laundering scheme. Granted this isn't the heart of Big 12 play, but aggressive, adept baserunning goes a long way on the diamond.

SHARING THE GLORY
Kansas and Kansas State tie for Big 12 Championship title
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
WACO, Texas — Oklahoma State, the origin of Kansas' threegame losing streak that nearly cost the Jayhawks a share of the conference title, proved to be the reason Kansas is a Big 12 champion for the ninth straight season.
The Cowboys defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 76-70 earlier Saturday, and Kansas entered its tilt with Baylor knowing that it had already secured at least a share of the conference title.
A share was all the Jayhawks got, as Baylor controlled most of the game in an 81-58 shellacking of Kansas.
"It doesn't feel like we won it at all, really," senior center Jeff Withey said. "We tied with K-State and it's cool to win it obviously. Nine in a row is huge. It just stinks to lose."
Coach Bill Self said he thought his team would relax and play loose knowing the Wildcats had lost earlier in the day. If Kansas State had won, Self said the matchup with Baylor would have been equivalent to an NCAA Tournament game because a loss would have ended Kansas' title streak.
Kansas briefly talked about already clinching a share of the championship in the locker room before the game, Withey said, which might have affected the Jayhawks' focus without them realizing it.
When the game started though, it briefly looked like Kansas might play cohesively enough to grab an outright conference title. Freshman guard Ben McLemore scored the game's first points on a layup five seconds into the game.
"I'm not going to ever apologize for winning a league championship," Self said. "I'm not happy. I'm a lot happier than I would be if it was different and we finished second."
Baylor came back and tied the game about 40 seconds later on a Cory Jefferson jumper, and Kansas never led again.
Jefferson and Pierre Jackson led Baylor with identical 11-13
shooting nights, Jackson had 28 points, and Jefferson had 25, including two one-handed slams over Withey in the first half. Jefferson also displayed a long-range shooting touch one had seen before.
The junior forward made his first career 3-pointer midway through the first half, and then made another shortly before halftime. He made his third 3-pointer early in the second half.
"I wasn't expecting him to shoot threes like that," Withey said. "I know Cory pretty well because I played overseas with him. I never saw that part of him. He played great."
Midway through the second half, a Jefferson jumper gave Baylor a 17-point lead. Then McLemore and freshman forward Perry Ellis scored 11 straight points to slice the margin to 61-55, the closest the game had been in almost 12 minutes.
The run was fitting, because McLemore led Kansas with 23 points, and Ellis was second with 12. But whereas Jefferson and Jackson received help from their supporting cast, McLemore and Ellis got little help from theirs.
Senior guard Eljah Johnson was the only other Jayhawk in double figures, finishing with 10 points. Freshman center Isaiah Austin and senior guard A.J. Walton complemented Jackson and Jefferson with 11 and 12 points, respectively.
After Baylor coach Scott Drew called a timeout with his team's lead cut to six, the Bears responded with a 9-0 run from four different players. The lead never dipped below 13 points again.
Senior guard Elijah Johnson shoots over his opponent's attempted block during Saturday's game against Baylor at Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. Johnson had 10 points.
"That was the whole theme of the night," Withey said. "I felt like every time we were doing something good they were just doing something better."
Jackson closed out the scoring with a breakaway lawup with one minute left, and Baylor outscored Kansas 12-0 in transition. The 23-point loss was Kansas' worst defeat since losing by 25 points to Texas in 2006.

BIG 12 AWARDS
Withey, McLemore rake in Big 12 Awards
Although the Jayhawks' two candidates for Player of the Year came up short, the Kansas basketball team raked in a few awards when the Big 12 Men's Basketball awards were released on Sunday night.
Senior center Jeff Withey won the Defensive Player of the Year award outright for the second consecutive season, the first player in Big 12 history to do so.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore also made the All-Big 12 First Team along with Withey.
"We knew Ben and Jeff would be on the first team but I feel sometimes when you have guys on the first team it could split the vote for player of the year." Kansas coach Belf Self said in a Kansas Athletics news release on Sunday.
McLemore was later named to the All-Rockie Team and All-Big 12 First Team.
Withey holds the league record for career blocks at 289, which he reached earlier this year against Texas.
He sits on 124 blocked shots this season through 31 games, fourth in league history for a season.
"These are prestigious honors from the coaches and to have my other team-mates listed throughout those awards shows how much of a team we have been," Withey said.
Withey also made the Big 12 All-Defensive Team and All-Big 12 First Team. Joining Withey on the Defense team was senior forward Travis Releford.
Releford also made the cut for the All- Big 12 Second Team.
Others on the First Team were Kansas State's Rodney McGruder, Oklahoma's Romero Osby and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart, who won Big 12 Player of the Year.
"Marcus Smart is a very deserving player of the year in leading Oklahoma State to a good finish in the league and an NCAA Tournament bid," Self said. "Any of those four — Ben, Jeff, McGruder and Smart — could have been player of the year."
Smart beat out McLemore and Withey for the Big 12 Player and Freshman of the Year awards.
He's only the third freshman to have this accomplishment.
Kevin Durant of Texas and Michael Beasley of Kansas State also received both awards when they dominated the Big 12 in their freshman seasons.
Senior guard Eligh Johnson also made the awards list with a spot on the Honorable Mention roster.
The No. 4 Jayhawks will play Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championship. They play the winner of West Virginia and Texas Tech, which play on Wednesday.
The tipoff for the game is set at the Sprint Center at 2 p.m., on Thursday.

Chance at NCAA tourney weakened by loss
MAX GOODWIN

After a 77-62 loss to Iowa State in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament, there's nothing to do but want. The Jayhawks think they have high-enough quality wins to be included in the NCAA tournament when the selection committee makes the decision next week, but that 15-point loss to Iowa State will not help Kansas' chances in Dallas on Saturday.
An early lead didn't last for Kansas, as Iowa State gained its composure after a nervous start in its first game of the tournament. Kansas lost its lead after eight minutes in the first half and never regained it.
At half, Iowa State led 34-26. The Cyclones continued to steadily build a lead from there
Kansas' defense left shooters open in transition and failed to get into position, which has been a problem throughout Kansas' losses this season. Iowa State shot 46 percent from the field and 18-for-19 from the free-throw line.
as the Jayhawks failed to find a weak spot in the Iowa State defense. With four minutes left in the second half, the Cyclones held a 22-point lead.
"They executed, and we didn't answer their run," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Henrickson and her team had no answer to Iowa State senior forward Chelsea Poppens and junior forward Hallie Christofferson. Poppens poured in 24 points and Christofferson scored 23 to carry the Cyclones to the semifinals.

combined for 26 of the 34 points by Iowa State in the first half. The two of them matched the offensive production of all eight Jayhawks who played in the first half.
Poppens is a physically tough post player who scored in the paint. Christofferson can play multiple positions and scored inside and out, going 3-for-6 from behind the arc.
"They have a tough front line," senior center Carolyn Davis said. "It's a challenge for our guards to guard Christofferson in the post."
Kansas' question now is how
Davis said the game plan for Kansas was to front the Iowa State post players. When the Jayhawks did that, they were able to slow the Cyclone offense; when they didn't, Iowa State took advantage.
bad this loss will look to the selection committee next week.
"We're not for sure what's going to happen," senior guard Angel Goodrich said.
Nobody is, but if last year provides any indication, the Jayhawks could squeak into the NCAA tournament based on their solid conference wins.
Iowa State is not currently ranked in the AP top 25 poll, but the team finished second in the Big 12 and defeated tournament teams Texas Tech by 15 points and Oklahoma by 21 this season. Iowa State causes matchup problems for nearly any team it faces, especially for a Kansas team that lacks depth and size.
This loss should not be a major concern for Kansas, but a win would have made it much easier for the Jayhawks to breathe during the next week.
"We think we've had some great wins," Davis said. "We're kind of in the same position we were in last year. We're just going to have to wait and see."
Some of the wins Kansas has on its résumé include a win earlier in the season against Iowa State, a win against Oklahoma and road wins at West Virginia and Creighton. Kansas is 18-13 after the loss to Iowa State; last season it was 19-12.
"Of course I think we should be in," Henrickson said. "I thought the committee made a great decision last year, and I thought we made them look real smart."

THE MORNING BREW Tiger Woods works toward vindication
It's the 18th green at Pebble Beach, and you need a birdie to win. The 35-foot putt seems daunting; slightly downhill and a large sway from right to left. But what seems impossible is fixed with a click of the L1-button: Tiger Vision. And just like that, you sink your championship-winning roll with ease.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
But that's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005. And you've run out of pizza rolls.
The real Tiger Woods has played exceptional golf recently, winning five of his last 9 tournaments including this weekend's WGC - Cadillac Championship. This is arguably the best run Woods has had since his hiatus from the sport in 2009-10.
Everyone asks, "Is Tiger back?" Longevity in the sport is certainly possible, but Woods is 37 years old. He is much older than the new generation of golfers. Sure, Tiger can still mash with
one nest of them - he's in the top 10 in driving distance - but the advantages of strength and youth are gone. The group has caught up with the leader and now he has to rely on other aspects of his game.
Woods still famously crushes par 5's and ranks number one in the world in 2013 in scoring average. Along with the physical limitations, Woods must deal with the rise of new competition such as Rory McLloy and Webb Simpson.
No doubt Woods can still hang with the young guns, but his dominance of the 2000s may be a thing of the past.
So, perhaps it's unfair to ask if Tiger is back. That might not be the right question.
Maybe the right words are, "Is he relevant again?" even though he always has been. Whether it's in the tee box or the tabloids. Woods has had our attention consistently for nearly the duration of our lifetime.
Woods jisu wants to return to golf's top spot. Forget about the publicity, he needs none of that. He's had it, both good and bad. The ultimate vindication for one of the greatest athletes of our time will be, simply, to become great again.
His comeback story isn't what is important to him. Tiger's furious competitiveness is already known — too well. It's about wearing red on Sundays.
KU
1's about getting back to the days where those young 20-somethings fold under the pressure from playing in Tiger's group.
Stili, Woods hasn't won a major championship since the scandal in 2009. His last major win was the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
Woods may be on the cusp of returning to his own desired form. But no one critiques Tiger harder than Tiger, and only major championships will suffice.
Maybe the only way we can determine if Tiger is back, is if he says, "I am back."

Creighton beats Wichita State to win tournament title
tournament title.
ST. LOUIS — Jahnens Manigat scored a season-best 16 points and hit a layup with 11.5 seconds to go that gave top-seeded Creighton just enough to beat Wichita State 68-65 for its second straight Missouri Valley Conference
Reserve Ethan Wragge hit five 3-pointers for 15 points to help the Bluejays overcome an off day from star Doug McDermott, who missed six of his first seven shots Sunday and was held to 14 points — 10 below his average
Malcolm Armstead scored
a season-high 28 points with nine rebounds for second-seeded Wichita State (26-8). But he missed a potential tying 3-pointer just before the buzzer while well-guarded by McDermott.
McDermott was still honored as the tournament MVP. He had scored 41 points eight
days earlier in Creighton's regular-season, title-clinching victory against the Shockers.
Wichita State shot just 34 percent and has dropped three of five. Cleanthony Early, who averages 14 points off the bench, was held to two points.
Wichita State trailed by 13 with just over five minutes to
go. The Shockers shaved the deficit to a point with a 10-0 run capped by Armstead's fourth 3-pointer with 43 seconds remaining. Manigat's layup put the Bluejays back up by three.
Creighton was 11 for 24 from 3-point range without its best long-range threat makin his shots. McDermott, now tied with Wraggie for the team lead with 74 this season, was 0 for 3.
The Bluejays have won 12 MVC tournament championships, seven more than any other school, and won in consecutive years for the first time since 2002-03. Wichita State
has not won the title since 1987.
Creighton missed its first eight shots and Wichita State its first nine, and the teams were a combined 2 for 25 before settling down. McDermott picked up two fouls in the first half that limited him to 13 minutes.

Justin Protacio, a sophomore infielder from Pearl City, Hawaii, dives back to first base after attempting to steal second in the first game of a double header against Niagara Friday. Kansas defeated Niagara with a walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth, ending in a 3-2 victory.
Kansas sweeps Purple Eagles
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
*For the first time this season, the Kansas Jayhawks finished with a sweep after defeating the Niagara University Purple Eagles in four games. Kansas senior pitcher Thomas Taylor threw for six innings in game four and struck out six batters, giving him a total of 27 on the season.
Taylor was warming up for the projected 1 p.m. start, but the game was pushed back for more than two hours because of a rain delay. Like everyone else at Hoglund Ballpark, Taylor was ready the moment he, and everyone else, was told they could hit the field to warm up.
"I just tried to put the conditions out of my mind and try to throw strikes," Taylor said. "They're hitting in it too, so it was just as hard for them."
Taylor threw for six innings, finished with six strikeouts and allowed three runs off six hits. Taylor ran into a little bit of trouble
in the fifth inning after Niagara scored three runs; however, Kansas responded in the bottom half of the fifth with two runs and maintained a 9-3 lead.
Sophomore center fielder Dakota Smith and senior third baseman Jordan Dreiling both had three runs batted in Saturday's 11-4 win. The 11 runs manufactured by the Jayhawks were the most out of any game during the series against Niagara.
On top of a win, Kansas was happy to earn its first sweep of the season and hopes to carry that over in an upcoming road trip, Smith said.
"We knew we needed to come out and get rolling," Smith said. "We knew we could do it this weekend. We've been kind of on and off each weekend, and we wanted to make sure we played like we know we can play so we can get into a more of a fast-paced baseball. TCU is going to be a good team, and we want to make sure we are ready for it."
Kansas' performance on the mound was a reflection of how well the pitches have played all season. But Kansas coach Ritch Price said he wants to see improvement from his defense before opening up Big 12 play next weekend.
The Jayhawks' defense committed five errors in the series against the Purple Eagles. Price said he wants his team to get better and thinks this year's defense is better than last year's, which was ranked in the top 25 on defense.
"I think it was a series we needed to take care of our business." Price said. "We needed to gain some momentum going into the conference opener next weekend."
Kansas is scheduled to host Jackson State University at 3 p.m. Wednesday before heading to Fort Worth, Texas to face Texas Christian University in a three-game series starting Friday.

Balanced play helps Kansas win at weekend invitational

Jayhawks used strong pitching and hot bats to finish a weekend tournament unblemished for the first time this season.
The Jayhawks shutout four out of their five opponents at the Florida Atlantic Invitational. The Jayhawks played Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, Ball State, Louisiana-Monroe and the host team Florida Atlantic.
KU was in some nail bitters against Michigan State and Ball State winning both games by just one run. Coach Megan Smith said she thought this weekend's field was the most balanced that Kansas has faced all year.
lasted Michigan State to win 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh. Sophomore Alicia Pille and MSU junior Kelly Smith dueled for six innings and kept the offenses at a stand still. Pille was dominant throughout the game finishing with her 11th career shutout and third of the season. She only surrendered three hits while striking out five and walking none. Chanin Naudin hit a double in the bottom of the 7th and two wild pitches later sprinted to the plate for
"There is no better feeling than being able to come in, in a clutch situation on the mound and shut a team out."
"We were just locked in every game from start to finish," Smith said. "The girls were just really determined this weekend to come home 5-0."
The first game of the weekend was against Eastern Michigan. The Jayhawks' will earned their 11th rule-run victory of the season while beating The Eagles 10-0. Senior Maggie Hull, freshman Chaley Brickey and freshman Alex Hugo all cranked out three hits each. Kelsey Kessler was dominant in the circle striking out nine and only walking one en route to her second shutout of the season. The Jayhawks broke the game open in the top of the fourth when they sent 13 batters to the plate, scoring seven runs in the process.
The second game of the weekend against Michigan State was a pitcher duel'. Kar:sas out-

the gamewinning run.
"Michigan State was definitely a pitcher's duel, and Pille went out and pitched lights out for us," said senior captain Marianh Montgomery. "We were getting a couple hits here and there but couldn't seem to piece any together to get runs across the plate, but we knew we were going to get it done because we had the fire and passion and didn't want to go into extra innings."
The game against Ball State was another nail biter but this was not a pitchers duel it was a battle of the bats. BSU and KU had 13 hits apiece in a game that the Jayhawks won 8-7. This game marked Smith's 100th victory as a Jayhawk. Montgomery went 3-4 and recorded two homeruns and three RBIs. Junior Alex Jones came in to pitch the sixth and seventh inning and pitched the only 1-2-3 innings of the game. Hull drove in the decisive run in the top of the inning.
"There is no better feeling than being able to come in, in a
clutch situation on the mound and shut a team out," Jones said. "It's always very nice to be able to get a clutch hit, but I never felt better than when I came in against Ball State that night and being able to get the win."
The Jayhawks carried the momentum of two hard-fought wins into the game against FAU. The Jayhawks beat FAU 10-0 to earn their 12th run rule victory of the season. The Jayhawks captains were lights out against the Owls. Sophomore Maddie Stein, Montgomery and Hull went 7-for-9 at the plate with two doubles and four RBIs, while Jones collected her 6th career shutout.
"Ball State was a complete team effort, and our bats were on fire going into the next game," Montgomery said. "I felt bad for FAU because our bats were just on fire and pounding the hits for us."
The Jayhawks finished off the weekend against Louisiana-Monroe. The team recorded its fourth shutout in five games by winning 6-0. The Jayhawks used strong pitching from Pille once again to get the victory. Pille carried a perfect game into the fourth inning. Hull capped off a strong weekend by hitting a homerun and scoring the last of the six runs against LMU. The career RBI race is heating up. Hull is in second with 126, while Montgomery is right behind her with 125. Montgomery said she and Hull aren't worried about who ends up with the most RBIs at the end of the season and are more focused on doing what it takes to help the team win.

GAME TO REMEMBER
McMemore doubts beaters. The only gripe with Kansas electric freshman was that he couldn't prove his "elite" status without a big game on the road. After an 8-16, 23-point and three rebound performance at Baylor there isn't much to not like about the kid.

QUOTE OF THE GAME
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Freshman guard Andrew White attempts to steal the ball from his opponent during the game against Baylor at Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. White had one personal foul in his two minutes on the court.
For the first time in 14 games dating back to Feb. 12,
2001, Baylor defeated Kansas in the regular season.
MEN'S BASKET
When Kevin Young picked up two fouls within 24 seconds early in the first half, Self didn't have much of a choice but to turn to his unproven rookie.

"I was just trying to go out there and play my game like always," McLemore said.
The highly touted Wichita recruit hadn't quite made the transition to the college game yet.
So when he helped bring Kansas within six points of tying the game in the second period, it was more than enough to make Self smile.

It was only the second time Ellis has scored in double digits in conference play, but it may be the boost Kansas needs heading into tournament season.
"I thought he was the best player for us today" Self said of Ellis.
As was McLemore. And with both hitting a new stride, it's only going to be harder to amaze Self.

Perhaps that's also why freshman forward Perry Ellis received the bulk of Self's postgame compliments. One saw his 12-point performance coming.
Even after everything he had accomplished in Allen Fieldhouse and on neutral floors, McLemore's "elite" status was questioned for not showing up on the road.
"It definitely does give me confidence," Ellis said. "I was just trying to come in and just play as aggressive as I can."
Still, it was the type of outing that silenced many of McLemore's detractors.

And yet, they couldn't stop Ellis as he bobbed and weaved his way through traffic down low.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Hawkins emerges as strong shooter late in season
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Junior Markisha Hawkins walked into practice last Monday with a job to do. There was just one problem:
the 5'9 guard couldn't do it without cracking a smile.
She looked to a group of reporters and said with a slight grin on her face, "You need to talk to her to die."
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.

her today?"
"OK. I'll see what I can do," Hawkins said as she walked off in laughter.
She's talking about senior guard Angel Goodrich, who rarely goes a day without being asked for an interview. Hawkins just wants to help the seniors in any way that she can.
Of course, it's just a joke. Hawkins has had a good laugh from pretending to be the press secretary for Goodrich for most of the season. She hasn't had much of a real role on the team until now.
"Just sitting," Hawkins said, "and learning from what my teammates do. I watched every game."
But that's all starting to change.
Before Kansas was eliminated from the Big 12 tournament with a loss to Iowa State in the quarterfinals, Hawkins had been on a three-game scoring outburst where she averaged 12 points per game.
If that average alone isn't impressive, it began in the 28th game of the season, at Oklahoma. Before then, Hawkins had only scored 11 points in all 27 games for the Jayhaws. She had only received playing time in a third of those games.
So, how does a player go from the last player on the bench to the team's starting shooting guard?
"Just staying positive and being patient," Hawkins said.
A year ago, Hawkins, from Little Rock, Ark., signed with Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson, leaving Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas. She, there was an男健men-
tion on the NICAA All-American list and averaged 15.4 points per game.
Grades were not the issue for Hawkins. She took the junior college route because she wasn't satisfied with the colleges that offered her a scholarship after high school. She went to Tyler to prove herself and ensure that she ended up at the NCAA program where she belonged.
Her teammates and coaches call her "Hawk," which suggests Hawkins is fitting in well within the Kansas locker room.
Despite the lack of playing time with the Jayhawks, Hawkins continued to practice in high spirits every day with the intention of learning something new and improving her game.
"All year she has asked really good questions," Henrickson said. "She hasn't sat there and felt sorry for herself."
Hawkins was shooting free throws at practice last Monday when Henrickson approached her and said she would be in the starting lineup on Senior Night against TCU, after she scored 11 points against Oklahoma.
Hawkins turned out to be just the piece Kansas needed for a win on senior night. She had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the 74-67 victory.
"She brought a spark," Henrickson said after the game. "She brought energy."
Nothing seemed to make Hawkins happier that night than when the game was over and the Senior Night win was official.
The 15 points that Hawkins scored were an afterthought, though she admits that even she was surprised by the scoring outburst. Hawkins just couldn't see the three seniors leave Allen Fieldhouse with a loss in their final home game.
"I was so happy that we won the game and could make the seniors happy on senior day," Hawkins said.
She ran and met Goodrich at center court after the victory, and wrapped her arm around the senior.
"I was like 'I told you I was
going to do this for you," Hawkins said to Goodrich. "It was just a happy moment."
It's not uncommon to see Hawkins alone in the gym nearly a half hour before practice. She has worked hard for these happy moments, and hopes that they will keep coming.
The seniors recognize the effort that Hawkins has put in during practice this season and appreciated the spark she provided them on Senior Night.
"She's been working hard, and has been consistent," senior guard Monica Engelman said. "She gave us a little something, and we needed that."
Senior forward Carolyn Davis said that Hawkins earned her spot in the starting lineup. Goodrich seemed especially happy with the impressive performance from Hawkins.
"I'm proud of Markisha," Goodrich said. "She played really well. She was aggressive and attacked and knocked down shots. I'm so proud of her."
The next day Hawkins sits in the practice gym alone, waiting for the rest of her team to get ready for an afternoon practice.
A smile crosses her face when she's asked how it feels to hear the seniors say they are proud of her.
"It feels great," Hawkins says. "It's just about the seniors right now. Just doing whatever it takes for them to just keep it rolling and get win after win, but it starts in practice. Seeing a smile on their face makes me real happy, so whatever they need me to do, I'll do"
After Hawkins' recent performance, the Jayhawks will likely need her for more than just setting up Goodrich's interviews.
For now, Kansas is on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. The seniors still aren't sure how their college careers will end, but Markisha Hawkins is doing anything she can to help send them out on a positive note.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC
CANADA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Canada's Jameson Taillon throws against the United States in the first inning of a World Baseball Classic baseball game on Sunday in Phoenix.
U.S. beats Canada, advances to second round of Classic
Jones and Hosmer both had a rough week at the plate but came through with the United States on the brink of what would have been a humbling loss. Jones' hit was his second in nine at-bats. Hosmer was 3 for 13.
PHOENIX — Adam Jones doubled in the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth inning, Eric Hosmer hit a three-run double in the ninth and the United States beat Canada 9-4 on Sunday to advance to the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
Down to their last several outs, the U.S. trailed 3-2 after seven innings before breaking loose. Team USA and Italy advanced in Group D while Canada and Mexico were eliminated.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gold Glove second baseman Brandon Phillips contributed, too, making a diving stop to prevent Canada from tying it in the eighth.
Canada's Michael Saunders, of the Seattle Mariners, hit a two-run homer off starter Derek Holland and was chosen the Group D MVP, going 8 for 11 in the tournament.
Heath Bell pitched a scoreless seventh to get the victory for manager Joe Torre's team. Jimmy Henderson took the loss.
The United States finished group play tied with Italy at 2-1 but gets the No. 1 seed because of its 6-2 win over Italy. The U.S. meets the loser of Sunday's Dominican Republic-Puerto Rico game Tuesday in Miami.
David Wright, whose grand slam lifted the U.S. past Italy Saturday night, doubled and walked three times. Ben Zobrist had three hits, none of which left the infield.
Canada, coming off a 10-3 win over Mexico that featured a bruising ninth-inning brawl, finished 1-2. The Canadians have not made it out of the first round for any of the three WBCs.
But they looked in great shape much of the afternoon against the United States, which was looking to avoid its worst showing ever in the tournament. The Americans made it to the second round in 2006 and the semifinals in 2009.
For the third straight game, the U.S. fell behind early.
Justin Morneau, who was 8 for 12 in the tournament for Canada, doubled to start the second, then Saunders hit Holland's 1-0 pitch into the bullpen down the right field line to make it 2-0.
The U.S. tied it with two runs in the fourth, one unearned.
Joe Mauer led off with a single and Wright walked. Zobrist put down a near-perfect bunt for a base hit, with third baseman Taylor Green throwing wildly to first and allowing a run to score. Jones' sacrifice fly to center brought in the tying run.
Green, playing third for Canada because Brett Lawrie was hurt just before the WBC began, also had an error in the second when he dropped Zobrist's high pop fly ball in the bright sunlight.
Canada regained the lead at 3-2 in the sixth. Joey Votto drew a leadoff walk from reliever Glen Perkins, took second on Morneau's single. Saunders struck out looking and Chris Robinson flied out, advancing the runner to third. Adam Loewen's first-pitch single brought Votto home.
Mauer opened the eighth with a single, then Wright walked.
Torre made an aggressive move when, with Willie Bloomquist pinch running for Mauer, he sent both runners moving on Henderson's 1-2 pitch to Jones. Jones connected, bringing both runners home. Shane Victorino singled Jones home to make it 5-3.
Canada made it a one-run game in its half of the eighth but would have tied it had it not been for a spectacular defensive play by Phillips. His diving stop of Loewen's bases-loaded grounder allowed one run to score, but kept the U.S. in the lead.
The U.S. broke it open off Scott Matheson and closer John Axford in the ninth.
Phillips started it with a double. Jonathan Lucroy had an RBI single, then Wright walked once again. Oxford came on and allowed the infield single to Zobrist. Jones struck out but Hosmer, a late addition to the team when Matt Teixeira was injured, cleared the bases with a shot to deep center.
Torre benched Miami's dynamic young slugger Giancarlo Stanton in favor of Victorino in left field. He also moved Ryan Braun to designated hitter and put Zobrist in right. Mauer, the DH in the first two games, was the catcher. Stanton was hitless in the first two games, although he did have a pair of deep fly balls in the opening loss to Mexico.

The Kansas women's track and field team took second place on Saturday at the NCAA Indoor Chamionship. For the second-straight season, the Jayhawks finished runner-up at the NCAA Indoor Championship.
Leading the way for the Jayhawks are national champions Andrea Geubelle and Natalia Bartnovskaya. Geubelle headed into the meet on Saturday coming off her first long jump national title from Friday night, and wanted to make NCAA history by having both the indoor long jump and triple jump titles. Geubelle had four jumps over 45 feet in her six attempts.
Geubelle looked comfortable all the way to the finals, having the overall lead heading into her last three jumps. San Diego State's Shanika Thomas kept Geubelle on her toes, finishing only a centimeter behind her. Geubelle, on her fourth attempt, had the largest jump of her career with a mark of 14.18 meters (46.625 f) and broke her own school
"It was a tremendous weekend with some great performances," said coach Stanley Redwine. "Having three national champions is amazing. The athletes and the coaches have done a great job of representing Kansas well and it's great to again see all their hard work paying off."
record. It was also the fourth-longest in NCAA history and was two inches shy of tying the American record. Geubelle became the fourth woman in NCAA history to win championships in both the long jump and triple jump at the NCAA indoor meet since 2003.
Bartnovskaya also had career best performances in the pole vault. She vaulted to five-straight clearances, without a foul, and was the only competitor to do so. With the bar up at 4.45 meters (14-7.25 ft.) and clearing it on her second attempt, she earned a new career-best and broke her own school record. This mark also put Bartnovskaya at the eighth-highest indoor vaulter in NCAA history.
Junior Diamond Dixon also competed for a repeat national champion in the 400 meters. Dixon entered the final with the seventh fastest qualifying time, with 52.77 seconds on Friday. She finished the finals on Saturday with a time of 52.38, a season-best time with a sixth-place finish. This is also her third straight First Team All-American honor in the 400 meters.
Sophomore Lindsay Vollmer competed in her first Indoor Championship meet and was looking to earn a top spot in the pentathlon. Vollmer had already broken the school record twice this season and had a personal best of 4,123 points. She is also the 2013 Big 12 champion
in the event. On Saturday, Vollmer recorded three personal bests in the five events. She tied a career best in the high jump (1.72 m [5-7.75 ft]), threw the shot put to a new indoor personal best of 12.10 meters (39-8.5 ft.) and had a career best in the long jump (5.87 meters [19-3.25 ft]). The sophomore finished fifth and was 30 plus points ahead of her personal best.
Denesha Morris, Paris Daniels, Taylor Washington and Diamond Dixon ended the meet by helping their team's chance at placing higher in the women's 4x400 meter relay. They finished third in their heat with a time of 3:34.91, finishing eighth-place and earning the final point for the Kansas women's track & field team. This proved significant because the Kansas women claimed second place with 44 points, right in front of third-place LSU who finished with 43 points.
The Jayhawks earned 44 total points, which is the most ever scored at an indoor national meet. The Oregon Ducks finished first overall with a total of 56 points. The Kansas men and women's track & field team have three weeks off until the outdoor season begins at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas from March 27-30.

Despite the losses, coach Rob Catloth said the novice boats and varsity four boats had good races. He said the Varsity Eight Boats need to be faster.
Kansas started off the Sunday session by falling to Minnesota in a third varsity four race. At 10:20 a.m., the Jayhawks took on the Sooners.
The Kansas rowing team had a rough day on the river Sunday, losing all of its seven races. The team was swept by host team Oklahoma in a six-event duel at the Oklahoma Invite.
"We just need to get faster with our 1V8 and 2V8," Catloth said in a Kansas Athletics release. "They have quite a bit of extra water time that we don't have right now. Our novice and our fours were right there. Our eights need

Letter from the Editor
Roommates can't live with them but can't afford an apartment without them. Part of the apartment searching process is finding a good roommate, or roommates. Finding a compatible person to live with can be harder than finding the apartment itself. You have to consider multiple characteristics before signing the lease to your new place.
Consider a few things before moving in with someone. Are you a messy person or a neat freak? Apartment conflicts over chores could arise. Also, you might think living with your best friend is a good idea, but think about your friendship and discuss if you think it is strong enough to withstand a few arguments. Inside this guide you can read more on how to set guidelines in your apartment, avoid conflicts and how to tell your best friend that living together might not work out.
This guide will include multiple tips on how to choose a roommate or when it's best to live alone. Don't let your living situation turn into a roommate nightmare story. Keep your eyes peeled for the third apartment guide coming in early April.
Happy Searching!

ROOMIE SEARCH
FIND COMPATIBILITY IN POTENTIAL ROOMMATES

ILLUSTRATION BY BRITTANY THIESING/ARSAN
Being a good roommate does not always have to be about taking care of each other. Roommates should respect each other's space and be considerate of what they are doing.
ALLISON KITE
akite@kansan.com
While many students find it easy to decide with whom they want to live, for other students, it is more of a challenge. Picking among your friends can seem daunting, and you don't want feelings to get hurt. Many students find that it is important to look for a roommate with particular characteristics that they want in their relationship.
Macey Hundley, a student who lives at Hawks Pointe III and works in the Hawks Pointe leasing office met her roommates the day she moved in. Beforehand she said they tried to get to know each other.
"We all exchanged Facebook information so we could stalk each others' pages," Hundley said. "So that was a really good way to see if someone is kind of similar to you."
ILLUSTRATION BY BRITTANY THIESING/KANSAN
She described her ideal roommate as someone who has a balance between going out and studying.
"I need people who like to have fun but can also keep me grounded during the weekdays to be able to be motivated to study," she said. Someone who is going to go to the library with me on the weekdays but who would like to go out on the weekends."
Kyle Osinski, a leasing agent with First Manage
ment Inc., feels the same.
Allie Abilez is a student and both a resident and employee at Legends Place apartments. She feels that it is important for roommates to communicate and understand each other, and recommends searching for someone willing to do that.
"I was just looking for someone that was going to have a good time but was responsible enough to keep the apartment clean, not damage anything, and overall be a good person to live around," Orinksi said.
August, it is important for the student to consider what kind of characteristics they look for in a roommate.
"I would say somebody that's just more or less understanding." Abilez said. "There's going to be certain conflicts that arise but I guess just chalking it up to a roommate situation versus taking anything personally."
Additionally, Abilez believes that patience is an important roommate characteristic.
I think just working here in the once, people have the best luck when people are just understanding and they don't blow up little things, so if somebody doesn't take the trash out, it's totally okay if it happens one or two times," Abilez said. "It's not necessarily something that you have to make an extreme situation or cause a huge fight over."
Ultimately, compatibility is important when considering potential roommates. Students
Whether a student is living with their best friend of a dozen years or someone they met in
should be cautious to rush into a roommate relationship without first considering what is important to them.

BEST FRIENDS
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
LIVING TOGETHER CAN STRAIN FRIENDSHIPS
HANNAH PIERANGELO
hpierangelo@kansan.com
It's a new school year, a new semester, and you have a new living arrangement. You and your best friend are going to share an apartment together off campus. It seems like the perfect situation. However, as the semester drags on, you are learning more about your best friend and his or her habits and realizing that perhaps this was a mistake.
Of course, that situation is not true for everyone going into an apartment with a close friend, but you should definitely keep in mind that a few personal habits, schedules and conflicts will arise during a living arrangement. Will you be able to handle your best friend? Before ending up in an unpleasant situation, take a closer look at your potential roommate and don't be afraid to say no.
As friends, you may not think about the habits, daily rituals and mood swings of your best friend. When you live together, everything is thrown at you at once. You will be sharing space and time together and some boundaries have to be set and agreed upon. Compare how you and your best friend do certain things and decide whether it will be a problem for you. For example, a neat person may find difficulty living with someone who is content with a messy floor. In personal spaces, it might not matter, but in shared areas like the kitchen and living
room, living with an especially clean or especially messy person could make a difference.
Personal space is important as well. Sometimes you just need some time to yourself. But what if your best friend invites some people over or wants to watch a movie while you study? Tension can arise quicker than you think.
There is nothing wrong with deciding not to live with your best friend. If you already know that living with him or her is going to cause problems, just tell them no. It may hurt their feelings a little, but remember that you are not going to stop being friends, you just are not going to live together. If your personalities and habits are too different, let them know how you feel about the situation. It is much easier to prevent a conflict than to navigate through one.
Living with different people does not mean you can't still be friends. You know you go well together from past experience and maybe he or she is a fun person to hang out with, go out with, or work with. By all means, stay best friends forever. If you do decide to live together, your friendship could come out stronger than before, or it could be a little fractured. Arguments and frustrations are not uncommon between roommates and some sort of conflict will always arise. It helps to have a good friend by your side, but it also helps to have a good friend that can deflect or prevent problems as well.
Although living with your best friends may sound like a good idea,the close quarters could lead to problems. Choosing to live with new people and develop new friendships may be the best option.

Searching online makes finding a roommate easier
NIKKI BISHT
nbisht@kansan.com
Finding the ideal roommate may come easy for some students, considering they meet people in residence halls, classes or through mutual friends, but others find their future roommates by posting online ads.
Jackelyn Nofsinger-Smith, a senior from Louisburg, was offered an internship opportunity with Kornitzer Capital Management in Los Angeles. This sudden move left Nofsinger-Smith's roommate Kayleigh Kohlenberg, also from Louisburg, on a search for a new roommate.
Nofsinger Smith's internship forced the two
roommates to find a new roommate as soon as they could, so they immediately put up an ad on Craigslist. Since not many students are looking for a roommate during this time of year, Craigslist is a helpful resource to search for one.
"Craiglist seemed like the best option to find people quickly because it's not the best time of year to be looking for a roommate," Kohlenberg said. "It's easier when it's off-season to find someone."
An online post can seem like a dangerous approach to finding a person to live with, but you can set your email on anonymous so no one can see who you are. Nofsinger-Smith and Kohlenberg did just that to their ad.
Kohlenberg had previously used Craiglist to find a roommate, and she found the method successful.
people are serious about the situation by the emails they send her. If she thinks a person looks like a promising roommate, she sets up a phone interview. After this, she decides who she feels comfortable with inviting over for a tour of the apartment. Since Nofsinger-Smith has already moved to LA, Kohlenberg is in charge of meeting the potential roommates.
Nofsinger-Smith said that she can tell if
"Craigslist seemed like the best option to find people quickly because it's not the best time of year to be looking for a roommate."
KAYLEIGH KOHLENBERG Senior from Louisburg
"It can be a little sketchy, but I make sure that if somebody is coming over to look at the apartment, I make sure that I'm not here by myself" Kohlenberg said.
Craigslist allows you to personalize your ad in any way you want to attract people that have things in common with you.
"I said we like to listen to music during the

days, sometime sleep late," Nofsinger-Smith said. "I was able to give them the idea of what we like, so whoever thought that they would work for them then they responded. You can say you are living in a party house, and want a bunch of college kids, or that you're a senior, and you like it a little bit more quiet. And also it's
Using online resources like Craigslist is as safe as you allow it to be since you are able to customize how much information you want to give out. It is all about taking the correct steps to a safe find, like Nofsinger-Smith and Kohlenberg did.
Nofsinger-Smith and Kohlenberg have had six interested people respond to their Craigslist ad, but have yet to find a match. They are still looking.

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING VITAL IN SETTING BOUNDARIES
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarrett@kansan.com
Living with other students can be a big adjustment. Working around multiple schedules and preferences and sharing a common space can add to the normal pressures of college...
In order to alleviate some of that stress, it is a good idea to discuss a few general guidelines with roommates before moving in together.
"It's important to set these guidelines at the beginning of the year so awkward situations can be avoided and one roommate isn't feeling uncomfortable about any situations," Camden Bender, a sophomore from Shawnee, said.
One major topic that Shawnee freshman Megan York and her roommates discussed this year is the use of each other's property. She and her three roommates agreed that if someone wants to borrow something, one should make sure to ask beforehand.
"It helps with understanding my roommates boundaries," York said. "By establishing rules with one another we can see what the other person holds as valuable when living with them."
By setting up simple rules like these, it makes for a better living environment. Raisa Berry, a sophomore from Centerville, Ohio, shares a house with five other girls, so making sure everyone is on the same page is important for eliminating additional drama.
be made so our friendships aren't at risk for being ruined."
"If we didn't have these guidelines, our house would be in chaos," Berry said. "Rules need to
When living off campus, dealing with money is another issue that students should discuss. It is something that affects everyone involved, so Berry and her roommates take it seriously.
"Our main guidelines deal with paying rent and utilities," Berry said. "We set rules like if you miss a payment, then you have to pay the entire late fee."
TOMMY HAYES
Respect is the key to making a co-living situation work. It shows that you care about the other person and their things so they are more likely to do the same.
"We mostly rely on mutual respect," Berry said. "If someone goes to bed early, we try to be as quiet as possible. If someone has class before you do, then they get the bathroom first."
When roommates forget to follow the guidelines, it can be a difficult situation. The best thing to do is to cool off to avoid blowing it out of proportion.
"If a roommate breaks a rule or crosses a boundary I usually take some time to think about how I am going to confront them, or even if the situation needs confronting," York said. "If I feel like there is a situation where I need to talk to them about something, I usually get advice from others and sometimes even other roommates about how the best way to handle the situation is."

Roommates should have set guidelines before moving in together. Setting rules beforehand will help avoid conflicts and possibly ruined relationships.

Apartment living brings multiple changes

There are many things new apartment renters learn over the course of their first months of living in a new residence. They have to do the dishes, clean up after themselves, cook dinner, and most importantly, pay rent. However, having to split these responsibilities with a few roommates could make living together fairly difficult.
One big difference people face when moving to an apartment is getting used to all the different nuances that come with changed living environments. For some, divvying up responsibilities, like cooking and cleaning, is one of those changes.
"I think one of the biggest things we'll have to get used to in order to adjust living with one another is cooking for each other," said Ben Allen, a freshman from Washington, D.C. "That's not something we're really used to. We'll have to get used to going out and getting food, then making it for ourselves."
Cooking is not the only mundane task that's often overlooked. Keeping the apartment clean is also a challenge for some roommates.
"Cleaning your own bathrooms and other areas is really important," Leif Oas, a freshman from Parsons, said. "There will also be more space to clean, in comparison with the dorms."
"Being clean is something I really want my roommates to maintain next year," Nick Ross, a freshman from Overland Park, said.
A major responsibility for first-time apartment renters is paying rent. While it's very important, new renters sometimes forget about getting around to paying it. This is a responsibility that is important to discuss with a roommate.
"Getting the rent paid on time is one of the biggest responsibilities of a roommate," Ross said. "If you don't pay the rent, you're obviously not going to be able to live in your apartment."
Paying the rent may call for a bit of a change in the life of a new renter.
DANIEL PALEN/KANSAN
"You'll have to keep your priorities straight," said Christian Encarnac, a freshman from Parsons. "You can't waste your money on stupid stuff and party every night if you have to pay the rent at the beginning of the month."
However, if these responsibilities are to be split up and upheld, then the new owners could be enjoying their apartment for the school year ahead of them.

Dividing up responsibilities amongst roommates is an important part of living with other people. Deciding who pays what bills will help to avoid conflict and possible money problems.

KELSEY BARRETT

Living with other people can be complicated. Meshing lifestyles, different schedules, and sharing a common space can create issues between roommates and ultimately affect relationships.
"The toughest thing is it's really easy to get tired of each other and get too far into each other's space," said Emily Hines, a sophomore from Grand Blanc, Mich. with dorm and apartment experience. "There's always going to be somebody you just flat out don't get along with, with whom your personalities just clash and your ideal living conditions don't complement each other."
Many students enter a living situation expecting to become best friends with their roommates. However, some grow tired of working around the same people, and that can exude a negative effect on their experience.
"Try your best to just be flexible and tolerant of the other person," said Hines. "You have to go in with the mindset that you're not always going to get your way, but you can still both be comfortable and content. If an issue does come up, don't wait until you're about to tear your hair out to address it."
The dorms offer guidance from resident assistants. Their goal is to provide insight from another perspective in hopes of resolving the problem.
"The process is to try and sit down and talk to the roommates that are having problems," said first-year RA, sophomore Rachel Reardon from Leavenworth. "As the RA, we are to be a third
party that is unbiased who just wants to help the situation."
Discussing boundaries ahead of time can eliminate potential arguments in the future. It is important to know as much as possible about the person you will be living with because it allows you to know more about how to handle certain situations.
"I would say that you have to be open and respectful of your roommate. Be willing to get to know one another, but don't expect to be best friends with the person," said Reardon.
"You have to know yours and your roommates boundaries in order to live with one another." Despite the difficulties adapting to other people's habits, some find having a roommate beneficial. Anh Le, a freshman foreign exchange student from Hanoi, Vietnam finds comfort in his roommate.
Please take the
trash out. It's
been here for TWO
WEEKS! Thanks.
"The best thing about having a roommate is to have somebody to share your thoughts and feelings with," said Le. "College life can be stressful, and having somebody there to share the pressures, as well as exchanging cultures, is a valuable and fun experience, especially when you are away from your family and friends."
Whether you are rooming with a childhood best friend or going 'pot-luck', you should remember to face the experience with an open mind and realize both parties will have to make compromises. Try to embrace the experience, good or bad, and learn from it.

All your protection under one roof*
You might not own your place, but the gear, gadgets, clothes and collectibles inside it are worth more than you think. And because your landlord's insurance likely doesn't cover your valuations, you should consider renters insurance that does. Contact your agent to get the right protection for the stuff that represents the dreams you've worked hard for. You'll be surprised at how little it costs — and even more surprised at how you'll protect. Call today for a competitive renters insurance quote. Your dream is out there. Go it. Get it.

to someone else's house."
Sierra Upton, a senior from Manhattan, has had past roommate issues that she took into consideration when deciding to live by herself in January. "I've had a lot of roommates over the years and my roommate moved out just before semester started," she said. "I decided not to look for another roommate because I also have two dogs and it was settling too crowded."
Keeping her place neat and the added value of fewer distractions were also factors that Upton took into consideration.
"I don't have to pick up after anyone else and I also have the space all to myself," she said. "Also I don't get woken up in the middle of the night because someone's drunk."
Upton also mentioned that while she knows not having a
roommate can be lonely, she does not necessarily feel those effects and she actually prefers living alone right now.

It's time to begin picking roommates for next school year. Whether it be family, friends or a fiancé, some find it easier to live with the opposite sex.
Melinda Dreesman, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., lives in Meadowbrook Apartments with her male friend and his girlfriend.
Dreesman planned on living him, before he started dating his current girlfriend. Now the three live together.
"There is less emphasis on decor and more on game consoles and movies," Dreesman said.
A downside is that cleaning isn't a priority in the household, but there are some positives.
"A perk is that there is always a sporting event on TV and there is always beer in the house," Dreesman said.
Dreesman would like to try living with more men than women.
Samantha Patro, a sophomore from Junction City, plans on living with her fiancé, who will be her husband by next year.
♂ ♀
Patro currently lives with three other girls in an apartment. Next year she will live with her husband in Stouffer Place, an on-campus
housing option for married couples
This will be Patro's first time living with a member of the opposite sex.
"Girls are more messy," Patro
"Girls are more messy", Patro said. "Because we will be married, there will be more respect with the person and space. It will be less stressful and more comfortable and calmer."
Janie Roe, a freshman from Little Rock, Ark., will live in Meadowbrook with her male cousin next year.
"It was just easier," Roe said. "We already knew each other and I know I don't have to worry about him not paying rent or slacking on household duties."
I will stay awake. I'll be fine. I'll be safe. I'll be happy. I'll be content. I'll be free. I'll be secure. I'll be safe. I'll be happy. I'll be content. I'll be free. I'll be secur
Roe also thinks that living with a man will be simpler than living with a woman.
"Girls can be a lot of drama and I'm just ready to get away from all that." Roe said.

Living with the opposite sex is becoming more popular thanto living with friends of the same sex. This could mean living with a significant other, good friend or family member.

"Someone who has goals, cleans up after themselves, has a laid back personality,and they have to love music."
Dalton Plummer, sophomore Rose Hill
"One of the most important things is picking someone who I already know that I am comfortable being around. Also I like to pick someone that has the same interests as me because it is important to be social instead of sitting in my room alone."

Placing bets on your tournament brackets is a tradition... and illegal

"I know it's illegal, but I still plan on doing it anyway!" Schulte said.
If you knew placing money on your bracket for a betting pool at work could get you into trouble, would you still take the risk?
"Definitely," said Nick Schulte, a senator from Wichita.
On Selection Sunday, Schulte will be one of thousands of people spending hours meticulously perfecting their NCAA tournament brackets, and then betting money with a group of friends or coworkers in the hopes of winning the pool.
"The NCAA believes sports should be appreciated for the benefits of participating or watching, not the amount of money that can be won or lost depending on the outcome of the games," the NCAA's website states.
The FBI is not the only organization trying to combat illegal gambling on college sports. The NCAA says college sports should be about fun, not making a profit.
According to the American Gaming Association's website, "Nevada's legal sports wagering represents less than 1 percent of all sports betting nationwide." The website also says the FBI estimates that more than $2.5 billion is wagered illegally each year on March Madness alone. In comparison, more than $2.88 billion was wagered legally through sports books in Nevada in 2011. Keep in mind that was for all sports, not just one month of basketball.
There's just one catch: Betting on college sports is illegal everywhere in the United States, except for Nevada.
some money while also having fun, then the payoff is worth the risk.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Prieto said.
According to US Code Title 18, section 1955, which prohibits illegal gambling businesses, the worst that could happen is if the FBI catches wind of that office pool, the people involved face a fine and could be imprisoned.
"I've been watching all season," Schulte. "It's fun to apply the knowledge I have gained over the season and pair that with competitiveness to see if it will pay off."
Schulte has known for years that betting on college sports is illegal, but that has not fazed him. He plans on betting $10 to $20 in a pool, and if this pool has 10 people betting $10 to $20 as well, he stands to win $100 to $200: 10 times what he originally bet. For thousands of Americans, this big payoff from such a small bet is what the "madness" of March is all about.

This year's freshman class may be able to take advantage of the KU Core, the University's new common curriculum courses, set to go into effect for this fall's incoming freshmen. With the hope of boosting student retention, the KU Core aims to reduce the overall number of required general credit hours, said Hannah Bolton, student body president.
"Students are having to take an unrealistic amount of general education requirements," Bolton said. "It's the largest number I've heard of in the Big 12."

Although more than 99 percent of peer-reviewed studies have confirmed the effect of increased CO2 levels on global warming, the issue is still considered controversial in the Kansas Legislature.

Kansas government debates sustainability
MATTHEW JOHNSON
mjohnson@kansan.com
THE FIELD
Lawmakers in Topeka have been debating a number of environmental bills over the past two months, some of which might affect University students.
Section 1(a) of House Bill 2366 states, "No public funds may be used, either directly or indirectly, to promote, support, mandate, require, order, incentivize, advocate, plan for, participate in or implement sustainable development."
Lawmakers in Kansas have been trying to come up with a bill that would require students to learn about topics like climate science. Places like Potter Lake have been affected in recent years because of the drought problems that Kansas has experienced.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
The KU Center for Sustainability is funded by the Tuition Enhancement program, which is subsidized by KU students. Many students have received federal loans or grants. Section 7 of the bill prohibits "any federal or private grant, program or initiative" from being used for sustainable development.
In May 2009, the Kansas Legislature enacted House Bill 2369 to establish renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) and deadlines. The bill requires all Kansas utilities to produce 20 percent of their power with renewable resources by 2020. However, on Feb. 6, House Bill 2241 was introduced to reduce this requirement to 15 percent by 2018.
"I would hope that the legislature would uphold the renewable portfolio standards in their original form for two reasons: energy security through renewable energy and job creation in Kansas - especially in rural areas that could benefit from investments from the wind energy industry," said Rachel Myslivy, a graduate student in religious and environmental studies and member of KU Ecol Justice.
Gov. Sam Brownback has been a strong advocate of wind energy for years, helping to secure federal tax credits for wind energy companies while in Congress and maintaining his aggressive support for the industry as governor - a record Mysllly notes. Kansas ranks third in national wind energy production.
On March 8, House Bill 2241 was referred to the Committee on Energy and Environment for further deliberation.
As the Kansas Legislature debates these and other bills, the University is making significant progress with new environmental measures.
Severin also points to programs like Replant Mount Oread and KU Recycling as well as a series of projects including the installation of LED lights on campus funded by a 75 cent-per-semester "green fee" — the Campus Garden, Potter Lake Project and the Student Rain Garden.
"The Campus Sustainability Plan is a background document of the Campus Master Plan, and the Chancellor has been extremely supportive of that process," said Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability.
"I hope to see KU move toward more sustainable landscaping practices by reducing chemical
usage and incorporating native plants in the landscave," said Myslivy, who has witnessed similar progress since her days as an undergraduate.
There are now many more opportunities for student involvement through the EcoJustice program, which the group hopes will help future generations.
"Recycling is more available across campus than it was in previous years, the food services are trying to incorporate more local foods, KU is doing energy competitions, and academic programs are addressing issues of sustainability and environmental concernss."
"I want to be able to look my grandchildren square in the face and say, 'I did my best. I tried,' Mysliy said.

Transportation departments to work together
TOPEKA — The Kansas House has approved a bill that supporters say is an attempt to encourage cooperation between the Kansas Turnpike Authority and the state Department of Transportation.
The 81-41 vote Monday sent the measure to the Senate.
Some House members fear that the bill is a step toward a merger and diverting revenues from the 236-mile turnpike to
But the measure stops far short of Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal for a merger of the transportation agencies. He contends such a merger would reduce costs.
The bill would expand the specific authority of KDOT and the Turnpike Authority so they can provide administrative services to each other. Also, the two agencies could work jointly on roads connecting to the turnpike.

Last-minute decision repeals NY drink ban
NATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A judge struck down New York City's pioneering ban on big, sugary drinks Monday just hours before it was supposed to take effect, handing a defeat to health-minded Mayor Michael Bloomberg and creating confusion for restaurants that had already ordered smaller cups and changed their menus.
State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling said the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sweet drinks is too arbitrary because it applies to only some sugary beverages and some places that sell them.
"The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule." Tingling wrote in a victory for the beverage industry, restaurants and other business groups that called the rule unfair and wrong-headed.
Further, the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health went beyond its authority in approving the size limit, the judge said, agreeing with the critics that the matter should have been up to the elected City Council.
The city vowed to appeal the ruling, issued by New York state's
trial level court. But for now, it means the ax won't fall Tuesday on supersized sodas, sweetened teas and other high-sugar beverages in restaurants, movie theaters, corner delis and sports
arenas.
"The court ruling provides a sigh of relief to New Yorkers and thousands of small businesses in New York City that would have been harmed by this
corporation counsel.
The first of its kind in the country, the restriction has sparked reaction from city streets to late-night talk shows, celebrated by some as a

AMERICAN BEVERAGE ASSOCIATION Opposes the ban
arbitrary and unpopular ban," the American Beverage Association and other opponents said, adding that the organization is open to other "solutions that will have a meaningful and lasting impact."
The city expressed confidence that it would win on appeal.
"This measure is part of the city's multi-pronged effort to combat the growing obesity epidemic, which takes the lives of more than 5,000 New Yorkers every year, and we believe the Board of Health has the legal authority — and responsibility — to tackle its leading causes," said Michael A. Cardozo, the city's
bold attempt to improve people's health and derided by others as another "nanny state" law from Bloomberg during his 11 years in office.
On his watch, the city has compelled chain restaurants to post calorie counts, barred artificial trans fats in restaurant food and prodded food manufacturers to use less salt. The city has successfully defended some of those initiatives in court.
Beverage makers had expected to spend about $600,000 changing bottles and labels, movie theater owners feared losing soda sales that account for 10 percent of their profits, and delis and restaurants would have had to change inventory, reprint menus and make other adjustments, according to court papers.

PTSD victims experience stress-induced cardiac problems
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Stress does bad things to the heart. New studies have found higher rates of cardiac problems in veterans with PTSD, New Orleans residents six years after Hurricane Katrina and Greeks struggling through that country's financial turmoil.
Disasters and prolonged stress can raise "fight or flight" hormones that affect blood pressure, blood sugar and other things in ways that make heart trouble more likely, doctors say. They also provoke
anger and helplessness and spur heart-harming behaviors like eating or drinking too much.
"We're starting to connect emotions with cardiovascular risk markers" and the new research adds evidence of a link, said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center and an American Heart Association spokeswoman.
She had no role in the studies, which were discussed Sunday at an American College of Cardiology conference in San Francisco.
The largest, involving 207,954 veterans in California and Nevada
ages 46 to 74, compared those with PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, to those without it. They were free of major heart disease and diabetes when researchers checked their Veterans Administration medical records from 2009 and 2010.
Checked again about two years later, 35 percent of those with PTSD but only 19 percent of those without it had developed insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes and hardening of the arteries.
Doctors also saw higher rates of metabolic syndrome — a collection of heart disease risk factors that
include high body fat, cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. About 53 percent of veterans with PTSD but only 37 percent of those without it had several of these symptoms.
The numbers are estimates and are not as important as the trend more heart risk with more stress, said one study leader, Dr. Ramin Ebrahimi, a cardiologist at the Greater Los Angeles VA Medical Center and a professor at UCLA. It shows that PTSD can cause physical symptoms, not just the mental ones commonly associated with it.
"Twenty or 30 years ago PTSD
was a term reserved for combat veterans. We have come to realize now that PTSD is actually a much more common disorder and it can happen in veterans who did not undergo combat but had a very traumatic experience" such as losing a friend, he said.
That goes for others who suffer trauma such as being raped, robbed at gunpoint or in a serious accident, he said. Nearly 8 million Americans have PTSD, that National Institute of Mental Health estimates.
They include survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Tulane Medical Center doctors led a study of their
hospital's patients that suggests heart attack incidence is three times higher in New Orleans than it was in the two years before the 2005 storm.
A third study found that heart attacks rose sharply in the Messinia area of southwestern Greece since January 2008, the start of that country's financial crisis.
There were 1,084 heart attacks in the four years after the crisis began compared to 841 in the four years before it, even though the population and its demographics remained the same.

Snapchat taking over the application world
Do you have it? That little yellow ghost icon on your cell's home
screen? If you do, then you've experienced the sometimes thrilling, sometimes useless, sometimes disastrous effects of The Snapchat.
No, not just "Snapchat." I prefer to call it by its proper name, "The Snapchat," because of the life it has taken on in my cellular world. Apart from text messages and those vague "Provost eNews" emails, the Snapchat is my most frequent notification. (Seriously though, what are those Provost eNews things?)
The best part about The Snapchat is that it's essentially the "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" digital remix. But we'll call this the "How to ruin all your relationships via a small yellow ghost" version for good measure. Its use and abuse rarely have good outcomes, yet we're still all, "OMG what did we do before we could send 10-second pics of our face doing inane daily activities to our 50 closest friends?"
Luckily, I have had many a run-in courtesy of The Snapchat and am prepared to share that
advice here. Consider this your anti-guide to The Snapchat.
First, let's tackle that eye-opening yet horrifying Best Friends feature. They can't just call it "The Three Random People You Happen to Snapchat Most," can they? No, these three have to be your "Best Friends," and they're posted on Snapchat.com for the whole world to see.
The worst part is The Snapchat doesn't lie. There no denying how much you're in contact with these people once someone's discovered your dirty little Best Friends secret. For best results, make sure these three include criminals, ex-boyfriends, sexting buddies, people you don't actually know and general crazies.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
And while were on that page, let's consider that "HISCORE" feature. As if it's not bad enough that The Snapchat publicizes your three most embarrassed "friends," now everyone can judge you for just how addicted you are through an ambiguous HISCORE. And can I just say how much I appreciate The Snapchat's creative use of capitalization? LOL wait. No, I don't. At all.
Make sure you use The Snapchat to send pics and vids to all of your contacts, not just the ones that are relevant or you've talked to in the last year. The tricky part is that The Snapchat has not yet developed a "Select All" feature for choosing your recipients. When that happens, God help us.
In the meantime, be as unrestricted as possible when sending those heinous pics. Your obscure friend from high school? Yes.
That kid in your 500-seat bio lecture? Yes. The cute boy you met at a bar but for some reason never snapchats or texts or Facebooks you back? The ultimate yes.
Next, use Snapchat for sexting nude photos. Easier to win a relationship/your reputation/ your life.
Moving on, the "Delivered"
vs. "sent" vs. "Opened" feature is god. Once you've sent a particularly masterful snap, you reserve the right to check that unreasonably tiny print every 30 seconds until The Snapchat confirms your recipient has indeed succumbed to your snap of you walking to class, singing to a KeSha song in the car or "trying on hipster glasses!" LAWLZ." The key here is that if that person doesn't respond within five minutes, your next move's to send a snap of your sad face with the caption, "No SnAp AbCk??? (: ,(:
The worst kind of friends are the ones who refuse to partake in your snap conversations. You snap, "Goin out 2nite?" with tongue out. They text message you, "Nope, got some homework to catch up on." You snap, "What?! LAME!!" with indignant face. They text, "Yep, bummer haha." No picture, no video, no nothing! These people are not worth your time on The Snapchat or in life.
"Snap! [Username] has screen-shotted your Snapchat!" notification is like being told, "Hey! Your trust and friendship and revolting facial expressions have been exploited at your expense!" Screenshotters, you are the Benedict Arnold to my American colonies.
No, scratch that. The worst kind of friends are screenshots. I once had a friend screenshot my monstrous photo/caption combo and tweet it. Getting that
rinally Snapchatters, in order to completely alienate yourself, you need to follow @ SnapchatProbz and retweet it religiously. Tweets like "I always look ratchet at when I SnapChat at night. .." are both relevant and entertaining!
The sad part is that The Snapchat doesn't have to be our downfall. We can use it for getting outfit help from friends! For keeping in touch with people studying abroad! For proving to your boyfriend that you really are where you say you are! But if you like to engage in the above behaviors, well, I won't say I told you so.

A taste of Brazil culture found here in Lawrence
Some 40 days before Easter, almost all of Brazil — my homeland and a large chunk of the Catholic world — take a deep breath to dive into Carnival, the world's biggest party.
Originally a Christian festivity inspired by the pagan festivals Dionysia and Bacchalana, Carnival was traditionally the last party before the pious days of Lent. Characterized by binge eating and drinking, Carnival is an escape from ordinary life and a taste of the life of a hedonist. While in the U.S. the most famous expression of Carnival is New Orleans' Mardi Gras, Kansas does not have much of a tradition on this field. But although we are far away from Brazil's country-wide festivities, lucky us, we can take a shot at it in Lawrence.

Brazilian Carnival is a distinctive feature of the Brazilian imagery as seen by foreigners, but what many people don't realize is that it also plays a central role in Brazilian culture. Of course, the awesome, extravagant party is a lot of fun, but its meaning goes well beyond that. For Brazilians, it is a display of an idealized
classless society, inexistent in our unequal country, as well as the unofficial kickoff for the New Year. In fact, in Brazil, it is often said that the year does not begin until after Carnival.
Like most Brazilian holidays, Carnival has Catholic origins. And again, like most Brazilian holidays, it is not as holy these days. With it is a temporary forgetfulness of rationality and the life of the mind, in exchange for a week of Heionism and life of the body. Carnival is among Western society's most interesting phenomena.
Lawrence has its own Carnival party. It is the largest Brazilian Carnival in the Midwest, according to the KU Department of Spanish & Portuguese, as well as the largest show-party in Lawrence. It is also the city's most awesome party of the year,
not only according to my biased opinion as I'm a member of the Brazilian Student Association but also according to folks who have been saying on the event's Facebook page about how "legendary" it was last year and how they "can't wait for it."
At the party, you will get the chance to see and dance with traditional samba dancers in colorful costumes, capoeira players, drummers and an awesome Brazilian music band from Chicago.
Lawrence's Brazilian Carnival is March 30, the week after spring break. You can find more info about it at the KU Brazilian Student Association website, brasaku.com. The date is off the traditional Roman Catholic calendar, but one could say March Madness is more or less a version of Lent in lajawh land.
Since the flesh is weak, we might as well celebrate it. It is about time to get the year started.

LAWRENCE
Life like constant changing weather
It is atop this majestic tower that one can see all of Lawrence. The campus far off in the distance, the various parts of town and even the farm road that generally follows those lovely drives across the Clinton Lake bridge. Lawrence is a beautiful town with a lot of different flavors in a small area. In this particular area, the only lights are those coming from the city, so it's easy to take in the full breadth of the landscape.
Have you ever been there?
Head south down Iowa Street and drive on the highway for a minute, and you might find it. Or just use Google Maps.
It's pretty easy to find that way.
According to Douglas County Dept. of Public Works website,
"the park is located three-fourths of a mile east of US59 on the south side of County Route 458."
This past weekend, it was raining in Lawrence. Dark clouds moved swiftly across the sky, leaving the world painted gray. That beautiful smell that rises from sidewalks when it's raining permeated the air, and the air was a humid warm. Well, it was more wet than humid, but that didn't stop me from going to Well's Overlook anyway.
Three weeks ago, we enjoyed a delightful snowstorm that immobilized us, followed by another snowstorm, followed by beautiful weather where the warmth allowed everyone to walk gallantly in the sun between classes. Kansas Weather...
Looking east is easy. We're all so familiar with this town and its traditions, it will be a part of us forever. However, if you turn the opposite direction and look west, you can see the horizon. And if you look really hard, focusing all of your attention, squinting a little, in the rain, you can see your future.

As my clothes become ever more drenched and thunder roars around me, I look out onto the unknown and wonder, "What's in store for me?"
A bright light flashes nearby followed instantly by a loud crack that sounds like a riffle being fired. It's startling, but nothing I'm unfamiliar with. Not anything I haven't already learned not to fear in the past. Besides, if Mother Nature chooses to have her way with me, I'm done for. However, today is not that day. Today, we're both on the same wavelength.
what's in store for us, but the rain makes clear the true uncertainty of our lives. The dark clouds roll onward, but on the horizon, you can see the faint glimmer of the sun waiting to shine through.
The answer is different for all of us because we all have different ideas and plans. Beautiful plans that we all stand to bring to life. But when things don't go as we've planned, we'll look onto the horizon and remember that we haven't quite reached it yet. The peaceful rain is gone, and it's cold again. But tomorrow, it will be warm.
It's easy to think we know

only time can account for.
Since instrumental rock band Sound Tribe Sector 9 formed in Atlanta more than a decade ago, the group has transcended the average performance and created a much more engaging atmosphere for its shows. Tonight, the band is bringing that energy to Lawrence. Sound Tribe Sector 9 FTBC
Sound Tribe Sector 9, or STS9,
Sound Tree consists of Hunter Brown (Guitar/Keys), Jeffree Lerner (Percussion), David Murphy (Bass/Synth), David Phipps (Keyboard) and Zach V el mer (Drums).
"The method keeps improving," Murphy said. "We try to continually get closer to really capturing what it is that we do live, which is really how we make a name for ourselves. We want to capture that energy and vibe into our studio records. For a band like us, that is instrumentalists; that is a challenge. It can be difficult, but we try and get a little closer each time."
"Now that we're 15 years into our career, we're letting the music really speak for itself."
DAVID MURPHY
STS9 member
"Sound Tribe refers to the community around us, the people who make the shows happen, our team." Murphy said. "Sector 9 is Mayan-inspired from what was the height of their civilization when there was a lot of artistic prowess."
This concept of artistic prowess is one that has remained prevalent throughout the group's career. The members, who have been together for more than 15 years and are putting together their 12th studio album, work with a fluidity that
Murphy said the emphasis of the new album will be completely on the music.
"We're working with some different producers and outside people to produce a record
that really represents where we are as a band," he said. "Now that we're 15 years into our career, we're letting the music really speak for itself."
In addition to putting out new material, STS9 spends a lot of time on the road at both intimate venues and large festivals.
"You can tell it really means something to the fans, and you can do more unique things musically because you have their attention," Murphy said of smaller shows. "I
think every festival brings its own unique feel to it."
Even while recording and touring, the band has found time to create its own record label — 1320 Records. The label mirrors the same values as the group and strongly supports live performance and artist self-promotion.
The label offers many free releases, which Murphy feels are important for every type of artist, but especially up-and-coming ones.
"When you put your music in a form that is easy to be shared, it starts cycling along," he said. "We built our career around taping live shows and then giving that away to people. We gained a lot of fans from spreading our music in a bootleg type way. We continue to feel like giving your music away and spreading it can be very beneficial, and it's proven to be. People are happy to buy it at that point, and they really want to support you."
ST$9 will be performing tonight and tomorrow at Liberty Hall. A two-day pass can be purchased for $45, or a single day ticket can be purchased for $25.50. The shows are open to all ages and start at 8 p.m.

Why the zombie fascination?
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Zombies seem to be everywhere these days.
In the popular TV series "The Walking Dead," humans struggle to escape from a pack of zombies hungry for flesh. Prank alerts have warned of a zombie apocalypse on radio stations in a handful of states. And across the country, zombie wannabes in tattered clothes occasionally fill local parks, gurgling moans of the undead.
Are these just unhealthy obessions with death and decay? To Clemson University professor Sarah Lauro, the phenomenon is不 harmful or a random fad, but part of a historical trend that mirrors a level of cultural dissatisfaction and economic uneheal.
Lauro, who teaches English at Clemson, studied zombies while
working on her doctoral degree at the University of California at Davis. Lauro said she keeps track of zombie movies, television shows and video games, but her research focuses primarily on the concept of the "zombie walk," a mass gathering of people who, dressed in the clothes and makeup of the undead, stagger about and dance.
It's a fascination that, for Lauro, a self-described "chicken," seems unnatural. Disinterested in violent movies or games, Luau said she finds herself now taking part in both in an attempt to further understand what makes zombie-lovers tick.
"It was a way that the population was getting to exercise the fact that they felt like they hadn't been listened to by the Bush administration," Lauro said. "Nobody really wanted that war, and yet we were going to war anyway."
The zombie mob originated in 2003 in Toronto, Lauro said, and popularity escalated dramatically in the United States in 2005, alongside a rise in dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq.
The mid- to late 2000s also saw an uptick in overall zombie popularity, perhaps prompted in part by the release of post-apocalyptic movies including "Dawn of the Dead" and "28 Davs Later."
"We are more interested in the zombie at times when as a culture we feel disempowered," Lauro said. "And the facts are there that, when we are experiencing economic crises, the vast population is feeling disempowered. ... Either playing dead themselves ... or watching a show like 'Walking Dead' provides a great variety of outlets for people."

THE MORNING BREW Last week exciting for NCAA, NFL athletes
15-20 LIBERTY MAKES NCAA
TOURNAMENT
The Liberty Flames became just the second 20-loss team to earn an NCAA Tournament berth on Sunday after the school defeated Charleston Southern 87-76 to win the Big South Conference title. This game is evidence of the excitement that conference tournaments provide.
The importance of conference tournaments is questioned at schools like Kansas and Kentucky, where conference championships are the norm, but seeing a team like Liberty earn an NCAA Tournament berth is a great story. The Flames' .429 winning percentage is the lowest for an NCAA tournament team since Oakland had a 12-18 record in 2005. Liberty probably won't win a game in the NCAA tournament, but it's every player's dream to play in this marquee event, and now they have a chance to fulfill it. It trying the Liberty players that conference tournaments aren't important.

HARVIN TRADED TO SEATTLE
Percy Harvin is finally out of Minnesota after a tumultuous 2012 season that saw him fight with head coach Leslie Frazier and complain about his contract. I'm glad to see that the Vikings got what they deserved for trading Harvin to the Seahawks. The 25th overall pick in the draft can be used on a receiver to help replace Harvin or fill one of the Vikings' other needs. Yes, Harvin is one of the most explosive players in the NFL when healthy, but his constant whining and bickering
was a constant distraction for the Vikings organization.
In a perfect world, I would want Harvin to still play for the Minnesota Vikings, but it's clear over the last couple years that this dysfunctional relationship between player and organization wasn't going to improve. With that being said, if the Vikings are unable to draft/sign some wide receivers this offseason, the trade of Percy Harvin could come back to bite them.
INDIANA IS THE FAVORITE GOING INTO
MARCH MADNESS
Yes, Indiana has lost three games this season when it had been the No. 1 team in the country, and no team has won a national championship under these circumstances. I believe that fun fact will be extinct after this season because Indiana is the favorite going into the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Indiana went into the Crisler Center on Sunday and defeated Michigan 71-70, which is one of the best wins of the season.
KU
I know that Indiana has lost some games it shouldn't have this season, but playing in a conference like the big 10 is going to lead to some unexpected losses. The Hoosiers have all the pieces to make a national title run: a steady point guard in Yogi Ferrell, a sharpshooter in Jordan Hulls, an extraordinary athlete and player in Victor Oladipo and one of the best big men in the country in Cody Zeller. When they are on their game, no one can match up with the Hoosiers, and barring a major upset in the NCAA Tournament, I expect Indiana to cut down the nets at the Georgia Dome.

CBS cuts short airtime in tournament game
ST. LOUIS — The commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference says he would rather have the tournament title game televised on the Food Network if CBS can't guarantee it will televise the entire game nationally.
Doug Elgin told The Associated Press on Monday that central and northern Illinois and all of Indiana didn't see the conclusion of Creighton's 68-65 nail-biter over Wichita State. Wichita State shaved a 13-point deficit to one in the final minute and Malcolm Armstead missed a potential tying 3-pointer just before the buzzer Sunday.
"They'll never be able to make this conference up to us," said Elgin, adding the conference had received "hundreds" of complaints from irate fans. "Our concern is our most important game of the year carries nationally — all of it. That's certainly what we bargained for."
CBS switched some viewers to the start of Indiana's victory at Michigan for the Big Ten title. The 10-team Missouri Valley has four schools in the areas that missed the finish of the championship game — Bradley, Illinois State, Indiana State and Evansville.
CBS officials did not immediately return a message Monday. The network acquired the rights to the title game through ESPN.
Elgin said the finish of last year's title game, Creighton's overtime victory over Illinois State, was pre-empted in certain markets, too. Discussions with CSB since Sunday's game have not been satisfying for Elgin, who called the decision "inexcusable" and a "bitter pill to swallow" for the conference.
"I've vented a lot on this, maybe to excess," Elgin said, referring to his Food Network crack. "I do think we want to continue to have discussions on this and make sure our jewel is protected."
Creighton returned to the rankings at No. 23 and had an impressive RPI ranking of 25 after winning the conference tournament
for the second straight year and earning an automatic NCAA tournament berth. Wichita State was ranked earlier in the season and had an RPI of 39 and could get an at-large NCAA tournament bid.
The Valley televises every regular-season game on Fox Sports Midwest and via the Internet on ESPN3.
Elgin had little to say about rumors Creighton might want to leave the Valley to join the so-called "Catholic Seven" in a reformed Big East. He added the Valley won't be caught in the lurch.
"We respect the right of any institution to determine its own destiny," Elgin said.

END OF IDITAROD SLED DOG RACE
FINISH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Volunteers hang a banner above the burled arch, which serves as the finish line for the 1,000-mile iditarod Trail Dog Race in Nome, Alaska, on Monday. The race began March 3 in Willow, Alaska, and some race watchers predict a Tuesday finish.
Iditarod veterans battle for lead in race's final stretch
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NOME, Alaska — Alaska's famous 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has come down to a furiously contested match among veterans, with one seasoned musher grabbing the lead back from another throughout the day Monday.
Sled positioning trackers showed 2004 Iditarod winner Mitch Seavey 12 miles ahead of four-time champion Jeff King and last year's runner-up Aliy Zirkle by evening as they headed to the
checkpoint at Elim, 123 miles from the finish line in Nome, a frontier town on Alaska's wind-punneled coast. Others were closing in, including Ray Redington Ir.
the grandson of race co-founder Joe Redington Sr.
"The way things are looking right now, it could be one of those close ones."
Close behind Redington was Nome favorite Aaron Burmeister, racing toward his hometown. All were within striking distance of each other.
If Burmeister were to win the iditarod, one local official said, it could be pandemonium. The "place would come unglued," said Richard Beneville, the vice president of the Nome Chamber of Commerce.
Even though Seavey's son, Dallas Seavey, won after beating Zirkle by an hour last year, leaders in this year's Iditarod have been leapfrogging each other. That led race spokeswoman Erin McLarnon to call this year's race of the tightest in years.
Monday from Seavey, leaving the Kovuk checkpoint first.
Front-runners began traveling north along the frozen Bering Sea Coast on Sunday as they jockeyed for the front of the line.
King snatched the lead earlier
King left Koyuk just six minutes after arriving, then camped out for a while 8 miles from the checkpoint. His team began moving again late morning.
"You must be having fun," a local said in an Iditarod.com video as the 57-year-old veteran prepared to leave Koyuk.
"Does it show?" King said.
Seavey fed his team as King headed out.
Seavey had been leading since Sunday and beat King to Kovuk

by 34 minutes.
The 53-year-old musher rested his team then left three hours and two minutes after King.
"Only one thing to do," Seavey said in
an lditarod.com video. "I can't make speed without resting."
The race began March 2 with 66 teams at a ceremonial start in Anchorage. The competitive start began the following day in Willow and has since changed leaders several times. Those at the front of the field included four-time champions Lance Mackey and Martin Buser, who were running in 16th and 17th place, respectively, on Monday.
Mushers have taken mandatory 24-hour and 8-hour layovers. They also must take a second eight-hour layover at the checkpoint at White Mountain, 77 miles from Nome.
Five mushers have scratched. A sixth, Canadian Gerry Willomitzer, with drawn Sunday after losing a dog that was later found.
The first musher to reach Nome will win $50,400 and a new 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck. The rest of the $600,000 purse will be split
As teams push toward Nome, the town of 3,700 was bustling with anticipation.
among the next 29 mushers to cross the finish line.
Volunteers in the old gold rush town erected the famed buried arch on Front Street, a block off the sea, on Sunday. Monday morning, volunteers put up the finish banner that hangs above the arch.
Inside the city's small convention center, which doubles as race headquarters, banners with each musher's name were being hung from the rafters by volunteers working with Alaska Missions including Shannon Scoggins, 22, of Stephenville, Texas.
Her group will spend the rest of the week caring for the canine participants at dog lots on the outskirts of town.
"I'll be a once-in-a-lifetime chance," she said. "We're excited about that."
In Nome, race spokeswoman Erin McLarnon said the race was shaping up to have an exciting finish with so many front-runners clustered together.
But will it match the 1978 mad dash down Front Street that left Dick Mackey as the winner with one second to spare over Rick Swenson, who went on to become the Iditarod's only five-time champion?
Race watchers are predicting a Tuesday afternoon finish in Nome, but off any record-setting pace. McLarnon said it usually takes mushers about 18 hours to reach Front Street after they hit White Mountain, a checkpoint 77 miles from the finish and where they have to take a mandatory eight-hour layover.
"You know, it very well could be," McLarnon said. "The way the things are looking right now, it could be one of those close ones."

lowa State forward Halley Christofferson (5) has her shot blocked by Baylor center Brittney Griner (42) in the first half of their NCAA college basketball championship game in the big 12 Conference tournament, Monday, March 11, 2013, in Dallas.
Baylor wins third Big 12 championship in a row
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Brittney Griner and top-ranked Baylor can now turn their attention to again winning the biggest prize.
Grimer scored 31 points and the defending national champion Lady Bears won their third consecutive Big 12 tournament championship, rolling past No. 23 Iowa State 75-47 Monday night.
In a matchup of the Big 12's top two seeds, the Lady Bears (32-1) and their 6-foot-8 senior star easily earned another trophy in their dominating run through the Big 12.
Griner, already a two-time All-American, had 23 points by half-time, outscoring Iowa State by 10 points on her own.
Odyssey Sims added 20 points for Bayley, including three 3-pointers in the first 4 minutes after halftime.
Anna Prins had 20 points and Nikki Moody 12 for the Cyclones (23-8) in their first Big 12 title game since 2007.
Iowa State got off to a good start with Prins making a 3-pointer on its opening attempt before another long-range shot by Hallie Christofferson for a 6-5 lead. But
the Cyclones then went more than 8 minutes without scoring, a span in which they missed six shots and had eight turnovers while Baylor scored 19 points in a row for a double-digit lead that only got bigger.
Baylor had the lead for good on Griner's putback after she grabbed the rebound of her only missed shot of the first half. Griner was 11 of 12 from the field before halftime.
The Lady Bears were up 41-13 at the break, holding Iowa State to the fewest points ever in a single half of a Big 12 tournament championship game.
Along with the last three Big 12 tournament titles, the Lady Bears have gone undefeated through the league the last two regular seasons for a 49-game conference winning streak. Their fifth Big 12 tournament title — all coming in a stretch that began in 2005, the year of their first national title — broke a tie with Oklahoma for the most in the league.
Baylor will surely be the No.1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and will play its first games in two weeks on the Waco campus, where the Lady Bears have won a nation-best 55 games in a row.
They have won 30 straight overall since losing against Stanford at a tournament in Hawaii a week into the season.
Griner finished 14 of 17 shooting and had as many field goals as Iowa State's entire team when she came out of the game for good with 4:12 left.
When Griner got near the Baylor bench, she shared a long hug with coach Kim Mulkey while getting a large ovation from the crowd with the game being played only about 100 miles from the Baylor campus.
Priss was coming off a career- high 32 points Sunday in the Cyclones' 79-60 semifinal victory over Oklahoma.
Baylor had a much tougher semifinal match, holding on for a 77-69 victory over Oklahoma State, which was within three in the final minute after the Lady Bears had 18 of their season-high 24 turnovers after halftime. While they never trailed, it was their only game against a Big 12 opponent this season decided by less than 10 points.

The championship game was more like the kind of games Baylor has had in its Big 12 run: A lopsided score.
Suiter named Big 12 Player of the Week
Kansas sophomore outfielder Michael Suiter was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week after leading the Jayhawks to their first four-game sweep since 2011.
Suiter, named conference player of the week for the first time, went 8-for-14 with seven stolen bases, five runs and two RBI in last week's series against Niagara. Suiter reached base at a .625 clip while maintaining a 10-game hitting streak.
Suiter is the first Jayhawk to earn Big
Kansas will play Jackson State at 3 p.m. Wednesday before starting conference play against TCU on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Fort Worth, Texas.

COMMENTARY
Selection Sunday is no big deal for Kansas
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Kansas fans don't know anything about sweating over Selection Sunday, but analyzing the bracket once it is unveiled is nothing new.
Most years, there are teams to avoid and teams to drool over, regionals to covet and regionals to scorn.
This year is no different.
This year is no different. But while most top schools are hoping to avoid playing someone like Indiana in the regional in Indianapolis or Duke in Washington, D.C., in the teams' home arenas, maybe it's not too late for Bill Self to offer to play one of those schools on his home turf. A nice fruit basket to the NCAA Tournament Selection committee might do the trick. Are the San Antonio Spurs doing anything the next few weeks? Maybe they could be put in Kansas' region.
If Indiana, Duke or San Antonio had made the Elite Eight a few years ago instead of VCU, there would likely be a sixth national championship banner hanging in Allen Fieldhouse. OK, maybe not San Antonio.
And if Missouri was in the Big 12 this year instead of TCU, Kansas would be a lock for a No. 1 seed right now, and its ninth straight Big 12 championship would be of the outright variety, not shared with the school down the road.
The thing is, in big games against teams as good or better than Kansas, Self doesn't lose very often. Half of his NCAA Tournament losses at Kansas have been against teams from second-rate conferences in games that most of the country penciled in the Jayhawks for a victory.
Beating top-seeded North Carolina or Ohio State in the NCAA Tournament last year was fine. Handling 11-th seed (and 11-point underdog) VCU the year before wasn't, however. Even in the championship run of 2008, Davidson was a tougher out for Self and Kansas than fellow No. 1 seed North Carolina.
Maybe a game against the Hoosiers in the Hoosier state with a Final Four on the line is exactly what this team needs. If not, maybe the '86 Celtics are available.
— Edited by Jordan Wisdom
Since the beginning of the 2007-08 season, Kansas has been an underdog of four points or fewer 11 times. After the overtime win at Oklahoma State last month, its record is 8-3 in those games. Going into hostile environments against tough teams like Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Kansas State on big stages were a piece of cake. But a stale arena against a team that should be in the bottom of the Mountain West is the reason a No. 1 seed this year is in doubt.
Here are the numbers:

With another title under its belt, Kansas looks to finish with a bang
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self said he had several people contact him after Kansas secured its ninth consecutive Big 12 title Saturday despite losing to Baylor. They congratulated him on the title, but expressed sympathy for the manner in which Kansas won the title.
But Self doesn't see it that way. He tells his team that the basketball season is really divided into three seasons. The first season is the non-conference portion of the schedule. The second season is conference play and the third season comprises the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments.
The second season began after Kansas polished off Temple on Jan. 6, meaning the Jayhawks spent more than two months in this part of the season. Although Saturday's loss to Baylor meant Kansas had a subdued attitude about how it won the conference, Self isn't about to give the trophy back.
"When you're 7-3 and you got to go to Stillwater and Ames, we earned it." Self said. "You spend two and a half months of your season trying to win a league championship. Why would we discredit winning the league when you spend so much time trying to do it?"
Senior guard Travis Releford described the trip back to Lawrence on Saturday as "quiet", but Self used the trip to remind the Jayhawks they accomplished their ultimate regular-season goal for the ninth consecutive season, dating back to the senior class of 2005 comprising Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Michael Lee and Keith Langford.
"It sucked how we ended up winning the title and sharing it, but overall, we ended up accomplishing our goals." Releford said. "This year, the tournament is going to mean a lot because we tied the regular season conference."
Of course, the other team Kansas shares the Big 12 title with gained the title the same way the Jayhawks did. Kansas State finished 14-4 in the Big 12 just like Kansas, but it too lost on Saturday to Oklahoma State.
If Kansas performs well this weekend in the conference tournament, it will likely go back to the Sprint Center for the second
Instead of the title being split by two teams who backed their way into it, Self said it reinforces the talent level at the top of the conference. The Big 12 might have six of its 10 teams reach the NCAA Tournament, which will be announced Sunday, and Self said all six of those teams could win the Big 12 Tournament this weekend.
"You go into the tournament in the past and you could say, 'You know what, this team, they could win a couple of games or this team could do good or this could be an upset,'" Self said. "But not very often do you go in and say, 'Well, I think that that team could positively win three games in a row.' And there's six teams that could win three games in a row."
The Jayhawks have a firstround bye and will play Thursday at 2 p.m. against the winner of Wednesday's contest between Texas Tech and West Virginia, both of which Kansas swept during the regular season.
"I'd say we're expected to win no matter what," Withey said. "If anything, it kind of helps us out because if something is going wrong, then usually, the fans help us and get us back right."
Senior center Jeff Withey said Kansas forgot about the Baylor loss by Monday because it's now focused on the third — and most important — season within the season. The Big 12 Tournament begins Wednesday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
The challenge for Kansas is that it won't know who its Thursday opponent will be until about 8 p.m. Wednesday when either Texas Tech or West Virginia wins the first-round game.
With the potential to play five postseason games in Kansas City, Mo., Withey said the Jayhawks don't feel extra pressure to perform well in what amounts to the team's second hometown, but instead rely on the fans to help them if they become entwined in a close game.
However, the Jayhawks played both the Red Raiders and the Mountainers in the final eight days of the regular season, so both opponents are still fresh in Self's mind.
and third rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
It's also not a unique situation. Kansas receives a bye in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament most years, so it's used to preparing for two opponents throughout the week. Self also said he'll begin to prepare his team for a semifinal game even before Kansas plays its first game on Thursday. It's the same approach he uses in the NCAA Tournament.
"We're going to practice for us, but we'll also spend a little bit of time practicing maybe for the potential second game," Self said. "Both Iowa State and Oklahoma did some things to us that hurt us. We can work on that stuff in practice and players never know it."

Divers fail to advance to 3-meter final

"They actually dove pretty well, but the competition was so stiff and the judging was so tight," Kansas diving coach Eric Elliott said in a Kansas Athletics news release. "All three of them had one little miss and that was enough because it was a pretty tight contest where everybody
Senior Christy Cash placed 36th with 238.80 points, freshman Meredith Brownell placed 41st with 233.30 points and junior Alysia Golden placed 43rd with 204.85 points. Texas senior Maren Taylor stood in first place with 347.70 points after the preliminary round. Missouri junior Loren Figueroa took the last final spot by placing 18th at the preliminaries with 280.35 points.
No layhawk diver made the finals of the three-meter event on the first day of the Zone "D" Diving Championship. There were 46 divers who competed in the six-dive preliminary round and the top 18 advanced to the finals of the event.
was diving pretty darn well."
After the first round, Cash was in 25th place with 43.20 points. She only scored 19.70 points on her second dive, the back two- and-a-half somersault pike with a high difficult degree of 3.00, to drop her to 39th place, and she was never in higher than 36th place after that.
The one-meter event starts at 11 a.m. when diving resumes at the University of Houston's Recreation and Wellness Center in Houston.
Brownell started off the night in 23rd place after the first round. Her best score, 46.25, came on her second dive, the forward one-and-a-half somersault two twist free. Golden hovered around her eventual final score much of the night. Her best dive got her 46.23 points in the third round.
All three divers head back to the boards tomorrow for the one-meter competition. Last week, Kansas diving coach Eric Elliott said all three divers have a good opportunity to stand out in this event.

DOWNLOAD DANGER
Copyright Alert System to battle online piracy; those caught illegally downloading could face consequences
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
AT&T, Cablevision, Time Warner, Verizon and Comcast are taking long awaited measures to address entertainment copyright infringement. Online piracy now faces a battle with the Copyright Alert System, developed by internet service providers and copyright holders such as the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.
The Copyright Alert System will standardize sanctions, representing a major step taken against the illegal downloading of entertainment. Anyone caught illegally downloading will receive six warnings. Thereafter, ISPs will enact mitigation measures.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation estimates that the illegal downloading of copyright entertainment content like music and movies consumes 24 percent of bandwidth globally.
Freshman Nick Sandino, for one,
might be in trouble.
Sandino, a marketing major from Overland Park, uses uTorrent to download games and shows from The Pirate Bay, which provides torrent files and magnet links. While he downloads PC games like "Deus Ex" or "Borderlands 2", he makes a point to pay for the music and games that he enjoys.
"If I do want to buy a new game, I will torrent that game then, if I actually enjoy it, I'll buy it," Sandino said. "I don't want to spend $60 on a game and not enjoy it. I don't mind paying for a game, but I want to try it first."
ResNet, the Internet provider option for students who live on campus, is not a part of the Copyright Alert System. At home, however, Sandino's family subscribes to Time Warner Cable.
Notifications are sent to the owner of the Internet service provider's account, rather than directly to the individual who has violated copyright laws. This system avoids infringing on privacy, said University of Kansas School of Law professor Mike Kautsch, by adding agreeing to being subject to the Copyright Alert System into the Internet service provider's terms and conditions. Furthermore, ISPs have sworn to not sell their subscriber's browsing information to outside parties.
If Sandino ignored six warnings and were to continue illegally downloading, one of the possible mitigation measures, bandwidth throttling, would reduce the Internet speed for Sandino's entire family. Theoretically, this would leave Sandino to download, his sister to check Facebook, his mom to reply to email and his dad to work all at a dial-up speed for one week.
"If I was going to torrent, it wouldn't do it at home because it's not only my Internet, it's my family's Internet," Sandino said.
"Federal law is very clear," Kautsch said. "Original works of expression are protected by copyright."
The Copyright Alert System imposes a graduating series of notifications and demands for compliance with the law.
"I think it will probably have some deterrent effect," Kautsch said. "It probably will not succeed at the level that the copyright owners hope it will. There will be determined infringers who subsist
regardless of the Copyright Alert System."
Between 1999, the dawn of peer-to-peer file-sharing, and 2011, music sales in the U.S. have dropped 53 percent, according to the Record Industry Association of America.
"The music industry — the people who produce and sell the music — has been decimated by [illegal downloading]," said Kelly Corcoran, the owner of Love Garden Sounds in Lawrence. "But they were overpriced for so many years that it led people to alternate ways to getting music."
Love Garden Sounds is a new and used vinyl record store at 822 Massachusetts St. Business hasn't been hurt by illegal downloading because the store has adapted to the modern landscape of illegal downloading, Corcoran said. This is partially thanks to dedicated rock fans, since top 40, hip-hop and electronic music are the most illegally downloaded genres.
"Nobody talks about going to a store to buy the new Lil Wayne," Corcoran said. "They do think about doing that if they want to go buy the Black Keys."
While peer-to-peer sharing supporters may criticize the economics of the music industry or argue that creative works should be shared, copyright protection laws are what they are and people should be compliant, said Kutsch.
"The people who feel that there ought to be more freedom to share using peer-to-peer software need to go to Congress and lobby for a change in the law," Kautsch said. "That's what they ought to do rather than simply defy the existing law"

The Copyright Alert System, developed by internet service providers and copyright holders, will battle online piracy and standardize punitive procedures. Anyone caught torrenting or illegally downloading will receive six warnings. Thereafter, the copyright holders have said they are not interested in prosecution, but there is nothing legally stopping them from suing.

Gray-Little explained that the amount of the fund to be decreased would depend on the size of the grant as well as how many graduate positions are offered in a program.
"If it's a grant that had one or two graduate students, it might result in a reduction in the funding for those graduate students. If there's a grant that has multiple graduate students, it could eliminate one of the positions," she said.
"Graduate students are very important in actually getting the research done, so it would eventually affect the productivity of the research as well," Gray-Little said.
WETLANDS
Student Senate recently voted to form a task force to work to prevent construction in the Wakarusa Wetlands by the Kansas Department of Transportation for the South Lawrence Trafficway.
"Last year or the year before, it became clear that the state could declare imminent domain over the property that we have and use it for the purpose of an easement anyway," she said. "So in some ways an official effort doesn't change that situation very much."
MARCH MADNESS
Although Gray-Little recognized that the land is considered by some students at Haskell and KU to be a special, if not sacred place, she said there will most likely not be a university-wide effort to avoid construction.

The presence of the University in the tournament and the celebration of advancement may attract some potential students to inquire about applications and admissions, but Gray-Little said where she sees the most dedication and excitement is from the alumni.
"There are alumni who travel from very far places to come to the celebrations when we go far in the tournament and there will be people who I'll meet as I'm traveling who will tell me that they came back for this event," Gray-Little said.
the rights to the land, which originally belonged to Haskell Indian Nations University, with two other groups. Portions of the land are available to students and faculty for research, but are not frequently used.
As the men's basketball team prepares to kick off the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, March Madness is alive and well on campus.
Gray-Little believes that student support is vital during the postseason.
The University currently shares
Gray-Little joked that she tries to "avoid madness at all costs," but said she certainly participates in the tournament activities and plans to attend postseason games. She would not reveal whether or not she plans to make a bracket.
"There will be people who, because of that kind of tournament, know the Jayhawks," Gray-Little said.
Aside from being a staple of the college basketball season, especially at the University, the national tournament benefits the University by increasing visibility.
"I just hope that we are successful," she said. "Our students, I think, are a very important part of our team's success, so I think that their continued support is important."

OPINION 4
While traveling, Gray-Little meets and speaks with alumni and donors about the University's goals in quality of educational and research programs. Since December, she has traveled to Phoenix, multiple cities in Texas and California,and will be traveling to Denver and Chicago in the future.
These meetings serve as forums for discussion as well as social gatherings.
"That's an element of the University that the students who are currently enrolled don't get to see very much, of, but it's really a very enjoyable activity because the strength of commitment to the University is so strong in the alumni," Gray-Little said. "When we go to a place and have a reception and visit with them, they're just delighted to be there and happy to see one another, so it's a good gathering."
During the break, Gray-Little plans to continue to promote the Far Above campaign.

AFTER SCHOOL CAMP
In this May 2012 photo provided by Camp Fire, members participate in a tug of war in Alaska. While the Boy Scouts have drawn some criticism for excluding gays and atheists, Camp Fire stresses its inclusiveness and says it welcomes youth and families regardless of race, creed, gender, social status, disability or sexual orientation.
Boy Scouts receive input about gay ban
PORTLAND, Ore. — Faced with a backlash against their ban on gays, the Boy Scouts of America are surveying their members on a potential change in policy.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A questionnaire distributed to 1.1 million adult Scouts uses fictional situations to discern where Scouting's membership falls on questions of homosexuality, gays camping with children and gays in church leadership. It allows adult Scouts to indicate a range of feelings, from strong support to strong opposition to the ban on gays.
Some questions are direct queries of the respondent's feelings on homosexuality and children.
"Bob is 15 years old, and the only openly gay Scout in a Boy Scout
troop," the survey begins its third question. "Is it acceptable or unacceptable for the troop leader to allow Bob to tent with a heterosexual boy on an overnight camping trip?"
But the majority of the 13-question survey is more nuanced, including two open-ended questions about the affect of either banning or allowing gay members. Many of the questions indicate scenarios that would likely arise should the ban on gays be lifted.
For instance, should the lesbian mother of a Tiger Cub be allowed to serve as den leader if the pack is chartered to a church that teaches that homosexuality is not wrong? Should a gay youth minister be allowed to serve as a Scoutmaster? Should a boy with the qualifications for Eagle Scout be denied the award
if he reveals he's gay at his board review?
After the theoretical situations are posed, the survey then again asks respondents about their feelings on gays in Scouting. The Scouts provided the survey by email Tuesday morning to The Associated Press.
Long the province of a strict anti-gay policy that went so far as to put members found to be gay in the organization's secret "perversion" files, Scouting has now generally evolved into a sort of "don't-ask, don't-tell" policy concerning its membership — even if the "don't-tell" aspect means the national leadership has had to ignore news accounts of its troops publicly declaring their refusal to abide by the ban on gays.
That's already happening in some branches of the organization, including troops in Minnesota, California and Massachusetts, but few troops are eager to publicize their positions, which could end with the troop losing its charter for breaking with the central Scouts office.
The survey introduces the possibility of acknowledging those differences.
"Different organizations that charter Boy Scout troops have different positions on the morality of homosexuality," the survey said. "Do you support or oppose allowing charter organizations to follow their own beliefs when selecting Boy Scout members and adult leaders, if that means there will be different standards from one organization to the next?"
The survey questions are part of a semi-annual survey called The Voice
Smith said the organization convened a committee in 2010 made up of professional and volunteer Scouts to review the gay ban. After two years of research, Smith said the committee decided to maintain the policy.
In May, that could change. A proposed resolution that will address whether to modify or rescind the policy will be developed for the Scouts' National Council to vote on.

NCAA sports take advantage of athletes
Thank you KU basketball seniors for allowing the University of Kansas to use you, your likenesses, your athletic abilities and your ability to make millions of dollars. We only hope that our future players will be just as hungry for the game and equally eager for a degree, a shot at the NBA, idol status in Lawrence, but exactly nothing more. Cheers to my home boys. One love. Signed with a smile, Sheaon Zenger.
That's the letter that Zenger should write to Elijah Johnson after March Madness. The collegiate basketball system is beyond fraudulent. Consider a KU game, when the bread winners – the basketball players – focus during a time out, trying to take in everything Bill Self has to say. Meanwhile, KU parades "scholar athletes" onto the court and lauds them for their academic achievements. Spectators paid hundreds of dollars for tickets. They gave stacks for replica jerseys to wear to games. ESPN paid millions for the rights to air the game. In comparison, for his dedication,
Elijah Johnson will get a coupon for his tuition, a voucher for his room and board, and a tiny stipend. No more.
I'm always torn when I watch that parade of athletes. It's great to see athletes earn their degrees. The way that it's financed is what makes me uneasy.
At large universities, basketball and football keep the lights on and the water hot. This goes for Kansas too. Not only do these programs make a profit, the University also requires donations to the Williams Fund to get better seats and nicer parking. This fund finances athletic scholarships. The more Johnson scores, the more all student athletes score. If you're a golf scholarship player, then this is great. While others pay thousands to get into country clubs, you golf and get your degree, even if your sport doesn't bring in enough money to break even.

But if you're Johnson, you've been exploited by the University for four years. You haven't made one cent. Your tuition coupon is your pay. You've got your degree
KU Athletics made millions.
militics made millions.
One more year, and I'll have my degree, too. Johnson and I both are on generous scholarships. But unlike Johnson, I didn't generate millions in revenue that supported other athletes and paid Bill Self $3 million last year. While Johnson watched his hard work put food on the table for KU, I deposited the money I made at my bank. I worked jobs on campus and interned over the summer, something Johnson is restricted from doing, and took it to Capitol Federal.
sure it's not an impermissible benefit. Bill Self can't even give his $100,000 Final Four bonus to his players, many who come from difficult backgrounds.

Have you read the article by the Topeka Capital-Journal on Jamari Traylor sleeping in a car in high school? Or the Kansas City Star's story on how Ben McLemore's family huddled to keep warm? Did you conclude, "Wow, that is awful. I hope Bent stays healthy and makes it to the NBA so he can afford to fix his family's furnace at home so they have some heat." Or did you think, "Wow, these great kids are being prostituted by KU and the NCAA in the name of academics and amateurism. This is sickening."
Schools don't have to pay their athletes uniformly, but give Johnson something. Give him a shoe deal or a cut of the profit when we buy No. 13 jerseys. Get him some representation from a lawyer whose firm is powerful enough to tell the NCAA that prostitution is only quasi-llegal in Nevada and definitely illegal in
Kansas.
Defending the current NCAA "no pay for play" amateur system is baffling. I pray that KU advances to the Final Four and hope the players jog out onto the court and refuse to play. I hope that Bill steps up and says "$3 million for me and zero for my boys is messed up." It may take time to properly pay revenue-generating players, but Johnson's time is nearly up, so let's have some urgency.
CAMPUS
A college education is valuable. That's why we're here. But it is not priceless, or else I wouldn't be able to afford it and neither would you. Johnson's education has a price too. His services to KU are worth more than that price. It's only right that he sees some of it, not in the form of coupons and vouchers, but in cash.

University event strives to lower energy use on campus
By Amanda Gress
es@kansan.com
What does it mean to be sustainable, and what can individual organizations, households or individuals do to shift to sustainable practices? The City of Lawrence describes it as a balance between "the needs of the environment, economy, and society" both now and in the future. Meanwhile, the University of Kansas is providing an easy way for students and staff members to contribute to the broader goal of energy sustainability.
Rules for Lights Out are straightforward. Participating buildings cut back on energy usage in an attempt to significantly reduce the amount of energy utilized within a given time period. Their performance is then compared to the same time period in the previous year to determine the success of the effort. The KU Center for Sustainability and Overland Park-based Energy Solutions Professionals sponsor the initiative while faculty and staff learn
March 7 marked the beginning of the second annual "Lights Out!" competition between occupants of university buildings. Despite the flashing branding, students shouldn't expect professors and GTAs to begin boxing on lajhawk Boulevard, but that doesn't mean the event isn't worth notice. Last year, just three buildings - Bailey, Green, and Summerfield - committed to lowering energy usage over a three-month period. This year, 14 campus buildings will compete in an attempt to mimic previous energy saving gains.
how to maximize efficiency. Hopefully, practices implemented during the competition then become ingrained in the culture of the participating buildings, leaving a framework for year-round savings.
The inaugural year of the program yielded impressive results - the buildings consumed 14.3 percent less electricity compared to the preceding year, which, according to the KU press release, would be equivalent to the energy used by 10 homes for an entire year.
Strategies for developing the competition were shared at the 2012 Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education Conference, and participants expressed satisfaction in the outcomes of the competition.
Similar initiatives are becoming more common across the country. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included billions of dollars dedicated to making federal buildings more efficient, and the Better Buildings Initiative of 2011 hopes to cut energy used by large business and industrial buildings by one-fifth within the next decade. "Lights Out!" reflects many common strategies with these other
programs - voluntary programs, competition-based incentives, training to modify individual behavior and the provision of new and more efficient technologies.
What does this mean for individual KU students? First, don't be surprised if more lights seem to be off in university buildings not in use, and be aware of changes in the behavior of faculty and staff over the next few weeks. Second, consider educating yourself about how your lifestyle can become more sustainable. The City of Lawrence and local utilities provide resources to help residents make decisions to conserve their energy usage and minimize waste generation.
If you live off-campus, a quick Internet search can provide countless tips to save energy each month in your house or apartment. Even if the environmental impact seems tiny, small changes could translate into huge savings. Siel Ju, a blogger for the Mother Nature Network living in Southern California, made drastic changes and reduced her electricity bill to $5 a month. While that might be out of reach of the average KU student, behavioral changes made now could accumulate over a student's lifetime as a renter or homeowner.
So, in the spirit of sustainability, try turning out the lights.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Networking sites are too personal
I was recently tracked down at a party, grabbed angrily by the shoulders and had,
"Dude, we were really listening to Alt-J the other day?!" yelled into my face. My friends despise Alt-J with a passion. And with the help of the Spotify activity stream that displays my incriminating listening history, they'd caught me with my pants down (and headphones on).
The hyper-socialization of every single activity in our daily lives is inevitable. I realized it back when Facebook started asking me, "What's on your mind?" and suggesting $5 Valentine's e-cards. From now on we'll call this constant stream of gratuous information and advertisement "social philegm." As connected and hip as I am, I'll be the first to admit that I don't care that much about the minutiae of my own daily life.
Just because our overlord social networking can't be stopped doesn't mean I have to sit down and enjoy the invasion. Here's why the incorporation of social networking into every facet of our daily lives is going to suck:
First off, it clutters your brain with social phlegm. Every post and interaction that you're forced on your news feed is giving you a slight shock of endorphins. A psychology professor at California State University, Northridge, released a study that found that these chemical doses were literally addicting and build on one another. It's a stressful compulsion and is definitely distracting you and me from other, more useful thoughts and activities (such as making pancakes or playing ping-pong).
Finally, it isn't healthy for relationships of any kind. Even back in its nascent form, when Myspace was still relevant and Facebook was mostly for photo-sharing, social networking wasn't helping anyone keep that text-box marked "in a relationship." Overexposure to friends and significant others creates tension and unnecessary opportunities to offend one another. We've all heard, "Oh my God, can you believe he/she liked her/his
Second, it is just another slew of opportunities for Facebook to monetize its service and sell your profile to advertisers. My Google searches are being used to sell me things. The methods used in target advertising resemble the shadier parts of the Patriot Act, I'm just saying.

wkenney@kansan.com
status, he/she is such a [gender-neutral expletive]!!"
The nail in the coffin was the "seen" function, which has spoiled conversations left and right. There is genuinely no good reason the sender has to know when I opened their message. It's more social phlegm that only risks hurting feelings.
Is it only human to assume that your friend is maliciously ignoring your text when in reality they're just busy doing the dishes and can't type on their phone with soapsups all over their fingers? I'd say so.
I realize that I'm not being manhandled into using Facebook, nor is anyone else. My prediction for the future of social media is thus a bleak one: a backlash against its digital shackles. It's only the natural ebb and flow of trends. And just as bell-bottom jeans and side ponytails were violently thrown back into the '80s, so will Facebook and Twitter. Already, droves of users have deactivated their accounts and relegated themselves to less-connected websites explaining, "It's just not worth the headache, man."
Mv vision for 2020 includes a wildly popular reprinting of "Walden," people moving to cabins in the Appalachians to find themselves and chop firewood, and lots of flannel. As of now, I'm not all that opposed to it. Maybe what America needs is a revitalizing weekend away from social saturation to give it some perspective and put it on the right track to kick its Farmville addiction. There's only one way to find out.
So pop some Micinex, deactivate that 'facebook and hock a big lootie' to social phlegm; you'll be able to say you were disconnected before it was cool.

Whenever you're stuck, don't be afraid to let your partner take the lead. Provide emotional support.
Listen closely to your intuition.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 7
Not everything is what it seems. Watch out for strange requests; there's no shame in turning them down. A little investment makes a big difference at home. Renew something that's no longer functional.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 7
Good news and fresh ideas come in from far away. Listen carefully, and keep your objective in mind. It's not a good time for travel yet; wait four days for Mercury to go direct.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7
Take a walk on the wild side (or at least outdoors), it will do you good. Count your winings. Don't let loved ones dip into your piggy bank. It will serve them well to earn their own
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is an 8
Throw yourself into a potentially explosive moment. Controversy could arise, or a brilliant scheme. If it's too wild, it won't work. Stand up for what's right. Improve your living conditions by cleaning house. Study
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7
You have what you need. Clear confusion before proceeding. Intuition is especially strong now. Use your head and find another way. Relax at home. Ponder someone's advice. Upgrade your equipment, maybe. You could triumph over your own feet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
Take a theory to heart. The possibility of error is high; consider the consequences before acting. More work means more savings. Discipline is required. Make the decision intuitively. Let your work inspire you. Stash away something of value.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
Explore new work possibilities. Write it all down so you don't forget. You're immensely popular now. Always apply yourself to your goal. Find out how much it costs, before purchasing. Let your partner lead.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 9
Go out on a limb. In a blinding insight, make an investment in your career. Associates contribute ideas. Having a meticulous partner helps. Be skeptical, although you're right on the mark. Seek imaginative new

excess HOLLYWOOD review
Documentary about wrongful conviction proves compelling
In May 1993, three 8-year-old boys were murdered in West Memphis, Ark. Because the bodies were mutilated when discovered, the authorities assumed they were killed by Satanic worshippers.
"The exhaustive and comprehensive documentary "West of Memphis" chronicles the case of the West Memphis Three (WM3), in which three teenagers were wrongfully convicted of an atrocious crime they did not commit. As both a document of sustained injustice and a complex, investigative murder mystery, it's an extremely compelling film.
Damien Echols, an 18-year-old delinquent, became the prime suspect since he had a criminal record and was known to be a Satanist. He and his friends Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin, 16, were tried and convicted of the murders, with Echols sentenced to death and the other two to life in prison.
ALEX LAMB alamb@kansan.com
Director Amy Berg begins the story from the tragic perspective of one of the victim's mothers, describing the day her little boy disappeared. Berg establishes the background of the case and why it was so easy for authorities to pin the charges on Echols, Misskelley and Baldwin before shifting the focus of the movie to their side.
In the beginning she assembles
a portrait of a devastated community in the Bible Belt, featuring interviews, court testaments and recordings that reasonably point to the WM3 being guilty. And then she digs deeper, exposing the reality of the situation piece by piece.
Berg gives voice to Echols while he's on death row and the woman who married him, who dedicated her life to bringing out the truth and freeing the WM3. As new DNA evidence emerges, a strong case for the innocence of the WM3 is constructed, gaining enormous support and even advocacy from people like Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and director Peter Jackson.
Jackson even helps bring new DNA proof to light that not only elucidates details about the murders, but also points toward the real killer, which makes for a very unsettling turn of events. Berg wisely allows these developments to take hold of the narrative as they gain traction. She builds tension in the story with deeper interviews and deposition footage, veering away from the actual WM3 frequently to grow it into a much more fascinating and larger saga.
She also manages to show virtually all sides to the case. What's particularly interesting are the interviews of judges, lawyers and senators who repeatedly fight against granting a new trial in the

At two-and-a-half hours, "West of Memphis" stands as an epic documentary tale, arduous in the journey but never too long or undeserving of such a thorough treatment. It effectively condenses more than 18 years of a twisting case into a cohesive and well-told story, consistently dramatic and emotionally resonant. If you're unfamiliar with the West Memphis Three, their story is more than worth your time, and this is the way to experience it.
face of so much new evidence. The manipulation by the original prosecution and how far the state of Arkansas went to prevent a retrial for 17 years both prove quite disturbing in their implications for our justice system.

Investigation continues into release of private information
LOS ANGELES — The first lady and the Vice President are among the latest public figures to have their private information posted on a mysterious website, and the Secret Service has joined the investigation into the postings that include documents from people ranging from rapper Jay-Z to the head of the FBI.
The site includes Social Security numbers, credit reports, addresses and phone numbers.

It bears an Internet suffix originally assigned to the Soviet Union, and many of the pages feature unflattering pictures or taunting messages of the person featured. Others whose information is posted include pop star Britney Spears, Attorney General Eric Holder, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In this file photo, Jay-Z poses backstage at the 55th annual Grammy Awards. Jay-Z is among 11 celebrities and government officials whose private financial information appears to have been posted online by a site that began garnering attention on Monday.
Both the FBI and the Secret Service said Tuesday they were investigating the site.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said he had "no assessments to offer" on the situation and referred questions to the Secret Service, which wouldn't provide further details.
The site grew from 11 names to 18 in the first 24 hours since it became public, with its operator adding additional features to count the number of visitors and a link to a Twitter account. It offers no explanation about why the targets were selected or how the information was obtained. The Twitter account includes an

He explained that Stricker had helped him with his putting during some practice time. It was this practice with Stricker that helped Woods win the tournament, as his putting played an integral role in his victory. Though Woods is known for his putting, it is rare for professional golfers to receive help from their competitors. Joe LaCava, Woods' caddy since 2011, said that this was the best performance he's seen

from him since was hired. Woods' most recent performance begs the question: is Tiger Woods on the verge of dominating the Golf world again? Given the uphill battle he has fought since his 2009 infidelity scandal and car accident with his now ex-wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren, a performance like Sunday's may signal Woods' reclamation of his former glory. Yet, one successful outing does not constitute a comeback. For the golf world and fans alike to consider Woods as being back to his former level as a player, he needs to win a major tournament very soon. Yes he will go down as a golfing legend, but the infidelity scandal and the subsequent fallout affected him tremendously, and recovery has been long in the making. In two weeks, he will participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which is loaded with talented golfers. In one month, the most prestigious championship, the Masters, will take place. This event will test Woods' mettle on the course, and the world will decide if he is actually back.

world, seeing him win again is always a good sign for not only golf fans, but for all sports fans in general. Lately, golf has been getting dominated by players who are not from the United States and even though it's great to see, it's always better to see one of our own donning the green jackets.

1 killed in bus crash involving college athletes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
State police say a 64-year-old woman passenger in the red Porsche was killed and the 65-year-old man who was driving was hospitalized in critical but stable condition. Four players on the bus were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. — A sports car spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate New York and was hit Tuesday by a bus carrying college lacrosse players from Vermont that was sent topping onto its side, police said.
The crash happened shortly before noon Tuesday on Interstate 87 in Saratoga County, about 150
miles north of New York City.
State Police Lt. Greg Thomas said the bus was carrying 34 players, three coaches and a driver from Saint Michael's College, a small Catholic liberal arts school in Colchester, Vt., to a game in Westchester County, just north of New York City.
He said the bus landed on its side off the road after running into the Porsche, which ended up mangled on the median.
Bob Urban, who was driving in front of the bus, tells WNYT-TV he saw the Porsche slewing across the three-lane road.
"As I accelerated to clear him he veered left again, causing his Porsche to spin out of control."
the Clifton Park resident said.
"When I looked up I could see the bus was going to make impact. It was unavoidable. The bus had no other option."
Urban said the Porsche "shattered ... more like exploded" when it was hit.
A work van was also damaged hitting one of the other vehicles or debris, Thomas said. Its driver wasn't hurt.
The southbound lane of the highway between exits 9 and 10 remained closed indefinitely Tuesday afternoon, troopers said.
Players wearing purple jackets and white shorts were taken on a local school bus to a nearby firehouse.
According to the Saint Michael's website, the team is scheduled to play at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., on Wednesday afternoon.
"Everyone's OK. They're safe, they're happy," said interim head coach Pat Ivory, who took over the team after the Feb. 15 death of longtime head coach Paul Schimoler, who died at age 45 from brain cancer.
It was the team's first road trip of the season. Ivory said he was sitting at the front of the bus when the crash happened, but he declined to comment on details, saying he'd leave that to police.

the positivity from Taylor. He remembers Taylor worried about playing not talking — Twitter notwithstanding.
According to Taylor, that's always the hardest part: when things start to go bad on the court your body can turn on you real fast.
"Your mind is telling you to do something and your body just isn't doing it," Taylor said. "You're shooting the same way every time and some shots just aren't going in. Then you get off the court and you have to hear about it from people that are supposed to support you."
Taylor knew the only way Johnson could get back in fans' good graces was for those shots to start falling. When Johnson started to heat up against Iowa State, Taylor knew what would happen as soon as he stepped off the court: Johnson would be treated like a hero.
Taylor also knew something else. Johnson didn't have to apologize for the dunk, but he also didn't have to dunk at all.
"I was telling myself he might as well stop at the three point line and try to hit 40," Taylor said. "I was thinking, 'pull up'
When the often-superior Johnson heard that, even he couldn't hold a smile. He giggled just long enough to collect his thoughts.
"If I deserved 40," Johnson said, "I would have made one of those three earlier in the game."
Edited by Tara Bryant
STRONG FROM PAGE 10
"It dawned on me, like, that was too strong." Johnson said.
At the moment, Johnson is pretty strong. He's enjoying his last few games with the jayhawks, but he also realizes that savoring Senior Night is important for his legacy and his relationship with the coach that's survived all this time with him.
"It just a boost of momentum going into March," Johnson said. "I feel like right now, we're off to a good start, but I'm just trying to keep it rolling."

Denver Nuggets' Ty Lawson (3) and JaVale McGee celebrate against the Phoenix Suns during the second half of an NBA basketball game Monday in Phoenix

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Kosta Koufos scored a career high 22 points on 10-of-11 shooting, mostly from point-blank range, and the Denver Nuggets ran their winning streak to nine games with a 108-93 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
Denver dominated points in the paint 74-32, including an assortment of soaring dunks.
Corey Brewer added, 20 points and Ty Lawson 19 as the Nuggets matched their longest winning streak of the season.
Wesley Johnson scored 18 and Marcus Morris had 16 for the Sums. Hamed Haddadi scored a careerhigh 13 for Phoenix.
The Nuggets return home to face the Knicks on Wednesday night in Carmelo Anthony's first game in Denver since leaving for New York.
Denver led throughout the second half, but the Suns stayed within striking distance until the Nuggets finished the game with a 16-8 run over the final four minutes.
Neither team led by more than seven points in the first half, despite Denver's 38-16 advantage in points in the paint.
A 13-1 Phoenix run erased at 35-30 Denver lead and put the Suns up 43-36 on Michael Beasley 19-footer with 5:19 left in the half. But the Nuggets outscored the Suns 17-7 the rest of the quarter to lead 53-50 at the break.
Denver scored the first six of the second half, the first four on fast break layups by Lawson and Koufos, to go up 59-50 after Kenneth Faried's two free throws with 10:50 to go in the third.
The Nuggets took their first double-digit lead at 86-76 when Brewer made one of two free throws with 8:44 to play.
Moments later, JaVale McGeek huge dunk on a lob from Brewer made it 88-79, then Lawson's fast break dunk after a turnover put Denver up 90-79 with 6:26 remaining.
Denver's nine-game streaks matches its season best.

Senior Christy Cash made it to the finals of the one-meter competition Tuesday at the Zone "D" Diving Championship in Houston. She placed 17th in the six-dive preliminary round to advance. Out of 46 divers, the top 18 competitors advanced to the finals.
Cash placed herself in position to qualify from the beginning of the competition. She scored 49.20 points with her first dive to earn 12th place. She slipped to 19th place after round five. On her sixth and final dive, the inward two somersault tuck, she scored 42.05 points. This brought her point total to 256.45, which was enough to earn her a spot in the finals.
The action resumes Wednesday for the 10-meter platform event. All three jayhawks will compete. This competition features five dives with the top 12 scorers in the preliminary round moving on to the finals. At this event last year, Cash finished 15 points shy of making the finals.
Cash also finished the competition in 17th place after the finals. Final scores are added to qualifying scores, and Cash ended the afternoon with 521.05 points.
Junior Alyssa Golden and freshman Meredith Brownell also competed in the preliminaries. Golden finished in 43rd place with 209.95 points, and Brownell took 37th place with 224.90 points. Golden's best dive, the inward one-and-a-half somersault pike, came in round one. Brownell also earned her high score on this dive, in round six.
St. Germain earned third place.
Missouri junior Loren Figueroa won the one-meter event with 623.35 points after finishing the preliminaries in first place with 316.10 points. Minnesota junior Margaret Keefer earned second place. Texas A&M senior Rebecca

Penn State releases document stating cost of Freeh report
COLLEGE ATHLETICS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
'STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State has released a document sought by some of its critics detailing the agreement with former FBI director Louis Freeh to investigate the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, a review that cost the school about $8.1 million.
Including the bill to pay Freeh, Penn State's total costs associated with the scandal topped $41 million as of the end of December, the university disclosed Monday on a website.
GOLF
The monthly financial update provided more itemization for certain costs, including the Freeh report. The update also counted the first of five annual $12 million installments — paid in December — that would ultimately cover the $60 million fine from the NCAA as part of landmark sanctions for the scandal.
The letter from Freeh was signed Dec.2, 2011 by then-board chair Steve Garban and trustee Kenneth Frazier, who headed the trustees committee to which Freeh reported.
on university leadership to release itemized costs, in part to promote transparency. Those critics had also asked the university to release the letter of agreement, or "engagement letter" with Freeh, that outlined the scope and responsibilities of the former FBI director in leading the internal investigation into the scandal.
That review raised new questions about the report and the university's handling of the findings from the alumni critics, some exp players and a handful of trustees including the outspoken Anthony Lubrano. In particular, Lubrano has said the school should ask for a refund from Freeh because the investigation was not full or complete.
Freen concluded that Paterno and three school administrators acted to conceal allegations against Sandusky to protect the school's image. The administrators have vehemently denied the findings.
Some vocal alumni had called
Golfer swallowed by 18-foot sinkhole while on fairway
and unfounded, and resulted in a "rush to injustice."
Paterno died in January 2012. Last month, an exhaustive critique commissioned by his family called Freed's findings inaccurate
The engagement letter outlined that Freeh's findings would cover why there were failures to report; who knew about allegations; and how the allegations were handled by trustees, administrators, coaches and other staff.
"I feel lucky just to come out of it with a shoulder injury, falling that far and not knowing what I was going to hit," Mihal, from the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur, told The
The report "also will provide recommendations ... for actions to be taken to attempt to ensure that those and similar failures to not occur again," read the letter posted by Penn State.
Friends managed to hoist Mihal to safety with a rope after about 20 minutes. But the experience gave him quite a fright, particularly following the much-publicized recent death of a man in Florida who died when his bedroom fell into a sinkhole. That man's body hasn't been found.
Associated Press before heading off to learn whether he'll need surgery. "It was absolutely crazy."
down a hill. But one of them heard Mihal's moans and went to investigate.
The 43-year-old mortgage broker was counting his blessings Tuesday and nursing a dislocated shoulder sustained four days earlier when he tumbled into an 18-foot deep sinkhole on the 14th hole of the Annbriar Golf Club near Waterloo, Ill., just southeast of St. Louis.
Golfing with buddies, Mihal was waiting to hit his third shot when he noticed a bathtub-looking indentation about knee deep just behind him on the fairway.
Getting panicky and knowing his shoulder "was busted," Mihal assessed his dilemma in pitch darkness as he rested on a mound of mud, wondering if the ground would give way more and send him deeper into the pit that was 10-feet wide at the opening, then broadened out into the shape of a bell below the surface.
ST. LOUIS — Suddenly being swallowed up by the earth on a golf course's fairway drove a wedge between Mark Mihal and a stellar round.
"He just thought it was some crazy magic trick or something." Mihal said.
Mihal remarked about how awkward it would be to hit out of the odd depression, and then walked over to give it a closer look and took one step onto it.
His golfing buddies didn't see him vanish into the earth but noticed he wasn't visible, figuring he had tripped and fallen out of sight
Mihal said it was a real downer on what had been a fine outing.
"I was looking around, clinging to the mud pile, trying to see if there was a way out," he said. "At that point, I started yelling."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A ladder that was hustled to the scene was too short, and Mikal's damaged shoulder crimped his ability to climb.
"It itd look unstable," he said. "And then I was gone. I was just freefelling. It felt like forever, but it was just a second or two, and I didn't know what I was going to hit. And all I saw was darkness."
One of his golf partners made his way into the hole, converted his sweater into a splint for Mihal and tied a rope around his friend, who was pulled to safety.
With winter finally nearing an end, "it was the first day to get to play in a long time," he said. "So I wasn't expecting too much."

Sprint Center is new home court

mvernon@kansan.com
Just please remember not to call it Allen Fieldhouse East.
The Big 12 Tournament means more than just another banner to hang and trophy to add to the case this season. And that's mostly because of Kansas City and the Sprint Center.
If the jayhawks stumble early in the conference tournament, the heightened pressure to play well will only be greater.
Just don't call it Allen Fieldhouse East. Over the next two weeks, unless anything shocking happens, the Jayhawks will have a new home court of sorts at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
And unlike previous years, the Big 12 Tournament actually means something to Kansas. It has some substance for a team that split its conference title with Kansas State.
Could the home court advantage give the Jayhawks enough confidence to win all five of their potential games in KC? Jeff Withey certainly doesn't think it will make a difference.
TAUGHT BY TYSHAWN
On Thursday, Kansas will play either West Virginia or Texas Tech in the Sprint Center's two-week basketball extravaganza that's on its way. The first round of the Big 12 Tournament will start the festivities on Wednesday, and it'll carry right on through to the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament the following week.
Kansas will be a favorite in every game they play in their downtown Kansas City rental home.
"I'd say we're expected to win no matter what." Withey said. "I wouldn't say we have more pressure. If anything it kind of helps us out."
But not only is it about extracting revenge and righting a wrong loss to Baylor to end its season. It's about building confidence in the Sprint Center for the two NCAA Tournament games that really matter.
That base of confidence for the Jayhawks should already be there from what feels like a long, long time ago. On Nov. 19, Kansas smoked Washington State 78-41. The following night, Kansas took care of St. Louis 73-59. And then the Jayhawks squeaked one out over Oregon State 10 days later 84-78.
So the Jayhawks are left in a situation that's oddly familiar to them — being the one seed in the Big 12 Tournament — yet fairly unique, seeing as there's added pressure from the fan base for the Jayhawks to cut the conference nets down.
If the layhawks can string even two wins together to get to the Big 12 Tournament Championship, their confidence will get a valuable boost headed into the NCAA Tournament.
However, those wins were four months ago, before the Kansas' three game losing stretch, before Elijah Johnson was resurrected, even before he needed to be resurrected.
THE KID IS ALL RIGHT
When Elijah Johnson received criticism, Tyshawn Taylor was there to help
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
With Kansas' senior point guard in the midst of a 39-point performance against Iowa State, his predecessor Tyshawn Taylor decided to do what he does best and took to Twitter.
"What's all this talk about Elijah Johnson you Jayhawk fans speak of?" Taylor posted.
Johnson had been the topic of discussion for quite some time. Taylor's sarcastic comment was just his way of telling fans to shut it. Enough with the criticism, enough with the "Kansas has no point guard" mentality and enough with the cries to sit Johnson on the bench.
And after the Cyclones were put away in the overtime of an instant classic, Taylor shook his head as he watched his former teammate apologize for an emphatic dunk as time expired.
"I respect the fact that he apologized," Taylor said. "But I don't think he needed to."
Of course IowaStatefans wouldn't understand that sentiment, perhaps not many Kansas fans either. After going through weeks of torture by media and poor play by his team, the need to abuse a rim with a one-handed slam was a feeling only Taylor and Johnson could share.
"Him going for the dunk was just a way to solidify a huge win," Taylor said. "I think it was more to show that he got the monkey off his back."
Johnson suffered through a three-game losing streak and a personally rough stretch in conference play. that monkey on his back felt like King Kong by the time Johnson and the Jayhawks rolled into Ames, Iowa.
In his previous seven games, Johnson hit 33 percent of his field goals, averaged 2.6 turnovers per game and barely averaged three assists per game. Every part of Johnson's game seemed to crumble.
"Any guard who plays at that school — it's going to be tough on them because coach Self demands a lot from his guards." Taylor said. "The University of Kansas fans are just so crazy about basketball that if someone isn't playing well it's going to be tough on them."

That's when Taylor stepped in.
Perhaps no one is more suited to utter those words than Tyshawn Taylor. As the beacon of Jayhawk fans' frustration for his last two seasons, from 2010 to 2012, Taylor has seen just how much hatred can be thrown at a Kansas point guard.
So when he saw Johnson getting the same treatment from Kansas fans, he made sure to walk him through the dos and don'ts of taking criticism.
"The only thing I tried to preach to him was to keep his head up," Taylor said. "The coaches know he's good and his teammates trust him. He just needed to start believing in himself."
As much as Taylor was in his ears, it was easier for Johnson to visualize the previous year.
"There's nothing for him to talk to me about that I don't already know," Johnson said. "But to see him go through it helped a lot."
Johnson remembers Taylor getting ripped in the papers and on the Internet, and walking into the locker room with a smile on his face the next day. He remembers

Jayhawks to host Jackson State
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
After earning a sweep this past weekend against Niagara, Kansas prepares to host a one-game series against Jackson State at 3 p.m. The Jayhawks, are 10-5 on the season, are familiar with Jackson State after a previous match this season in Conway, Ark.
The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers in their Feb. 23 meeting 10-6. Despite picking up a victory, it didn't come easy. Kansas senior pitcher Thomas Taylor threw for only 4 2/3 innings and allowed six runs off nine hits against the Tigers.
Kansas wants to limit Jackson State, which holds a 9-7 record, in getting hits or getting on base.
Kansas will likely start senior pitcher Tanner Poppe, who missed his last two starts due to a back injury. Poppe and the rest of the pitchers have heard from Graves about the importance of pitching well against Jackson State.
"They like to run the bases and they're not an easy test," Kansas pitching coach Ryan Graves said. "We're going to have to play well to beat them."
As good as the pitchers have been, Graves sees some room for improvement and hopes the Jayhawks can get better in those areas against the Tigers before moving forward.
"Offensively, they can really swing the bat," Graves said. "We're
going to have to do a better job of throwing strikes and getting ahead of the pitch count."
Along with the starting pitching, Kansas has had a strong bullpen with Jordan Piche' and Robert Kahana coming in during games to help the defense. With Poppe expected to be limited due to his return, Kansas coach Ritch Price said the bulldog must be ready.
Graves also wants the pitchers to do a better job of putting batters away with strikes and finish innings with two outs.
"They're really a good fastball-hitting team," Price said. "It's really important that Tanner and the rest of the guys who are out there make some really good pitches."
Kansas sophomore outfielder Michael Suiter, who won Big 12 Baseball Player of the Week, thinks the familiarity with Jackson State in an earlier matchup will help going into the one-game series.
Kansas is already looking toward the future and is excited to get conference games underway
"We've got to take another step," Graves said. "With conference play coming up this weekend, we need to make sure we keep improving and keep getting better."
Following Wednesday, the jayhawks will face conference newcomers TCU Friday night in Fort Worth, Texas.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Johnson's current play 'too strong'
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
It's been a battle of wits with coach Bill Self and senior guard Elijah Johnson.
Their relationship has played out like a "Survivor" episode, except it's not shown on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
It's shown on a basketball court, in front of microphones and behind the practice doors of Allen Fieldhouse.
There have been some difficult times, like this year when Johnson received a visceral hatred from the fan base and his coach challenged him publicly as he worked through injury and mental hurdles.
"We don't have a point guard," Self said on Feb. 2.
The Jayhawks have a point guard now, as Johnson has evolved to the level where he was at last March when the team made a run for the national championship.
Although Johnson continued to struggle for part of the season, he never let much of the criticism bother him.
"We all catch flak," Self said on March 7. "But if anybody's going to catch it, it probably deserves to be a senior starting point guard and the head coach."
It's nothing new for Self and Johnson. Even with the appearance of problems, Self has never taken issue with their relationship.
"The thing about Elijah is he knows I like him, and he knows I really want him to be successful."
Self said on March 7. "I think he enjoys that freedom."
He's also shared great moments with Self, such as after his masterful 39-point performance when he was mobbled by his teammates in the locker or when Johnson presented Self with his 500t game ball at Saturday's game.
"I think it's a distance relationship," Johnson said on March 7. "He usually rides players and he kind of lets me be and lets me go on my lonesome. Sometimes we'll go a whole practice and he'll say nothing to me, whether I'm messing up or not. I feel like that's the best way for him to get to me."
By freedom, Self means allowing Johnson to direct traffic in games and in practice.
"The thing about Elijah is he knows I like him, and he knows I really want him to be successful."
BILL SELF
Kansas Coach
The two seem to have figured each other out enough to help the team succeed.
"I love coach Self, man," Johnson said. "He always a step ahead. He knows what's best for you before you even know sometimes. He don't make it easy on you, so I get a kick out of that from him."
Forself, it has been a lot of give and take with Elijah. He's seen his potential throughout the years, but has not always executed at the level that was expected of the 24th ranked high school player
coming out of Las Vegas in 2009.
"Elijah is a guy that for, whatever reason – and I'm not saying anything negative – can get in his own way." Self said in a Topica Capitol-Journal article on Feb. 22, 2011. "When things are going well, he can get in his own way a little bit, and that's kind of been the story since he's been here. I'm not saying anything negatively or disciplinary wise, but he's playing well and commits three bad fouls and you have to take him out or whatever."
"He was unbelievable. He was the best player in the country tonight," Self said after the Iowa State game last Monday. "I've had some guys get 30 before, but never get 30 in a half. He deserved a night like tonight."
From that point, Johnson went onto to have another beautiful performance on Saturday with 12 points and 10 assists against West Virginia. Johnson showed off his ability to facilitate and score — the same athleticism he was recruited for four years ago.
In the game against West Virginia, Johnson blocked a shot in the first half, and jammed a one-handed slam on a lob pass from sophomore guard Nadir Tharpe with just under four minutes left in the game.
That has not been the case recently, as Johnson has elevated his game the past week to a level not seen in his time at Kansas.
That dunk led to Johnson flexing his muscles, which has become his signature celebration.

"It's really big business trying to come in and put their foot down," said Brenton Bartz, the general manager at Mass Beverage.
Uncork Kansas, the coalition seeking HB 2206 stresses that preventing grocery and convenience stores from selling alcohol goes against the basic tenets of a free market enterprise.

The issue, Bartz says, is a question of big versus local business. While liquor stores like Mass Beverage are locally owned, the grocery and convenience stores that Bartz would be competing with if this bill is approved would be national corporations.

"Regardless of where a company is based or how big it is, if it operates in Kansas, these companies have to pay all types of taxes to the state -- real estate taxes, payroll taxes, personal property taxes -- and the bigger the company, the
The ability to sell liquor, says Hanson, could help struggling, rural, mom-and-pop grocery and convenience stores keep afloat. A grocery store closing in rural Kansas creates a food desert where people have to drive 15 to 20 miles to get fresh food. Furthermore, Hanson argues, larger corporations create jobs by hiring more local employees.
"They already have the knowledge, infrastructure, training and technology to regulate restricted products so it's not going to be a big jump for them to take on the
Bartz is concerned that an 18-year-old checkout clerk at a convenience store at 2 a.m. will not be as diligent at preventing underage purchase of alcohol as his employees. All Mass Beverage employees must be at least 21 years-old and are specially trained to identify customers.
Regulating restricted products, Hanson said, isn't a new challenge that grocery and convenience stores would have to negotiate, since they already sell 3.2 percent beer, wine coolers, cigarettes, tobacco products and pharmaceuticals.

SENATE
In order to survive with Walmart and other grocery and convenience stores as competitors, Bartz said that Mass Beverage would have to rework its business model. After a transitional period, the liquor store would adapt into a specialty store, allowed to sell corkscrews, mixers, cups and ice.
While amendments to the bill are currently being reviewed and introduced, if approved by the House Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development, House Bill 2206 could be voted on by the full House next week.

AmeriCorps hosts veggie lunch at ECM
As part of its national week of celebration, the philanthropic group AmerCorps is hosting the weekly veggie luncheon at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building, 1204 Oread AV3., today from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The luncheon is designed to provide attendees with a glimpse of what Douglas County's AmenCorps branch does and how prospective members can get involved.
AmeriCorps, described by
Lori Johns, director of volunteer engagement for United Way of Douglas County, is a "domestic peace corps" that is devoted to ameliorating community welfare across the nation.
This AmerCorps group is focused on the health and wellness of Douglas County residents specifically.
"We have clients around the county that we work with as home coaches to provide them adequate health care," Johns said. "We also work quite a bit with residents who want to lose weight and elderly residents who require more personal care, and we do this through 12 to 13 local health
agencies."
In tandem with the luncheon is a one-day new diaper drive designed for impoverished young families in Lawrence.
The Hy-Vee at 6th Street and Monterey Way will also be accepting donations on Friday from 11 a.m. to p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
to drop off diaper bags at the ECM during the luncheon, at the Dougla County United Way office, at the Heartland Community Health Center or at the Lawrence Community Heal Center.
"There's a real need in a lot of these community shelters and health centers for diapers," Johns said. "We're working with the Lawrence Community Shelter to provide diapers for families who can't afford them."
Johns highlights the immediate need one donated bag of diapers satisfies for homeless and underserved Lawrence families. Those interested in helping are encouraged

Adopting pets can be helpful, time-consuming
JENNA JAKOWATZ
Buster might only have three legs, but scaling fences, chasing squirrels, and going for walks are still a part of his daily life.
jjakowatz@kansan.com
Buster has been a part of Kelly O'Neill's family for 11 years. O'Neill, a sophomore from Leawood, took Buster in September when his older brother, who had been taking care of Buster, graduated and moved to California for work. O'Neil had to adjust his life to include taking care of Buster every day.
"I've got another life to take care of," O'Neill said. "I have to make sure he's healthy, well fed, he gets enough exercise and gets groomed."
O'Neill is one of many students who owns a pet while in college, and the added responsibilities of caring for pets while in school might be something students should consider before adopting a pet.
On top of regular student expenses like rent, tuition, books and food, O'Neill has to devote some of his money to Buster. Veterinarian bills especially have put a large hole in O'Neill's pocket.
"Food costs $15-20 a month. He has medicine for his joints that costs about $200 a year." O'Neill said, "His most recent vet bill was $50, and his yearly vet totals can come up to $150-$200."
Dori Villalon, Executive Director of the Lawrence Humane Society, says that before adopting a pet and taking on the additional expenses, students should consider fostering an animal.
All these expenses can add up over time, but these costs do not include emergencies. In October of 2011, Buster dislocated his hip and that vet bill alone added up to $1,000.
"If you're adopting simply because you miss your cat or dog back home, consider volunteering instead," Villalon said. "We need foster homes for cats and dogs (we pay for all food, medical care and supplies) and have a great dog
walking program where you can take shelter dogs for the day to hike or just hang out."
The Lawrence Humane Society, a popular place where students go to adopt pets, recently completed kennel repairs for dogs available for adoption. Thirty-nine local volunteers stepped up and fostered the dogs while construction was underway.
"Thanks to our community, the repairs went smoothly and were completed on schedule," said Villalon.
The Humane Society is currently gearing up for spring, and the increase in kittens and other newborn animals that come with the season. Villalon says the Humane Society will be tackling this spring and summer's animal increases by participating in a nationwide challenge.
"The Lawrence Humane Society is one of just 50 shelters nationwide selected to participate in the ASPCA Rachel Ray $100K Challenge." Villalon said. "We have set a goal to save 122 percent more animals this summer than last year."
Part of achieving that goal means the Humane Society will have to undertake the task of finding homes for their adult animals who have been in the Society for some time, as well as the more desirable newborns.
The Humane Society doesn't reject applicants because they are currently a college student, but Villalon offers advice to students looking to adopt a pet.
Despite the travel hindrances animals might bring to students who have to move, Villalon says the Humane Society does not see the animals they adopt out to students come back after a year or two.
"We want them to consider that adopting a pet will limit where they live and their ability to travel or go on vacation—important considerations while in college," Villalon said.
"Moving" and 'landlord won't allow' continue to be top reasons
why animals are relinquished to the Society, but college students don't relinquish animals at a higher rate than anyone else and despite the myth, we don't see an increase in abandoned animals at the end of semesters," Villalon said.
O'Neill says that Buster has increased his daily responsibilities, but coming home after a long day of classes to a smiling, happy dog is worth it. As he looks for a home to rent for next year, one of his top questions for landlords will be, "Is it pet friendly?"
Villalon stresses that if you are currently looking to get a pet, you should consider adoption from the Humane Society.
"If you are ready for pet ownership, please adopt, don't purchase a cat, dog, rabbit or 'pocket pet,' Villalon said. "Lawrence Humane Society animals are already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped and you'll be helping us save a life."

Men need to confront sexual violence
We have a nasty habit of victim-blaming when it comes to sexual violence in our culture. When someone is raped, or sexually harassed, we tend to throw out questions like "Well, what was she wearing? " "Was she drinking?" "Did she flirt with the dude all night?"
We tell women to protect themselves from violence, to not wear their hair in ponytails, to carry pepper spray or mace, to never walk alone at night. Even in the language we use, we order the attention on the victim: violence against women, battered women—there's even an increasing trend in newsprint to call the victim in a case of rape not the victim, but the accuser.
We question the victim's motives, and seek to find a flaw within the victim instead of looking at the source of the problem in the first place. The perpetrator. The harasser. The rapist. The one
who enacted the violence.
And, as the statistics tell us,
these enactors of sexual violence
against women are overwhelmingly men.
By Katherine Gwynn kgwynn@kansan.com
Now, please don't think I'm proclaiming "All men are rapists!" That would assume that men have some biological predisposition to be unthinking, violent, aggressive creatures, which is obviously messed up. That's kind of the point of my article today. Men are in no way inherently rape-machines, and this type of thinking, that rape and sexual violence is an unquestionable reality in our society that will never go away is an insult to men.
Men can totally not rape. Tons of men never rape. I know quite a few of them, and I can testify that it is completely possible for a bro to go through the entirety of his life without ever committing sexual violence against another person. But we do have
to acknowledge that we live in a culture that encourages violence toward women, and that it is nurture, not nature, that makes a rapist. Which is why—bros, you got to call out your bros before they commit sexual violence against another person.
Personally, I think everybody needs to call out individuals who do or say sexist things (or racist things, or homophobic things, or transphobic things — really, all the ignorant things). But especially when it comes to sexual violence against women, the importance of men talking to other
men about being a decent human being is super vital. Men possess privilege in comparison to women in our society, and men who have been raised in a culture that values men's voices over women's respond better to a bro saying "Dude, knock it off," than say, me, going "You're behaving in a way that is contributing to rape culture and is highly problematic and misogynistic."
This isn't to say men's voices actually have more value than women's. But in order to stop the cycle of violence men enact toward women, you have to stop the problem at the source — i.e. instead of telling women not to get raped, tell men not to rape. And when bros communicate that message to their bros, it carries a certain weight.
partying during Spring Break on the beach, and your bro has his eyes on the woman who is on the verge of black-out drunk, tell him if the girl is unconscious, it's not consent. When you go out to a bar, and your bro gets upset that the woman he grinded with all evening doesn't want to go home with him, tell him she doesn't owe him anything just because you danced. When your bro calls women derogatory names, tell him you don't want to hear that, because you have a girlfriend/mother/sister/friend you like, and he should treat woman like human beings.
So, to my bros who don't like sexual violence (which I assume is the vast majority of you), here's what you can do. When you're
Tell your bros to act like men.
And that the only requirement
to being a man is to be a person
who treats other people like people
worthy of dignity and value.

Midterms ruin lives leading up to spring break activities
With spring break on the horizon and many students preparing to leave for exotic islands and cruise ships, there is a murky cloud of uneasiness that continues to hang over the school right up until Friday afternoon. This cloud is known as midterms.
We all know and appreciate midterms for what they are—teachers basically making sure that students are keeping up with the course load while using it as a chance to add a bulk of points to the overall grade. However, it's the timeliness, or really the lack thereof, that makes getting to this ever-important weekend of freedom a trudging task.
By Stéphane Roque
sroque@kansan.com
What is it about having to really dig in and study hard for a week straight (proud procrastinator here) that makes each midterm you take such a nerve-wracking experience? Sure, all the resources are there for you, but all of a sudden, we are thrust into a time crunch that has us worrying about personal vacation plans and important academic examinations at the exact same time. It can be very difficult for students to stay focused on the right priorities this time of year, and midterms stand right there in the path to hold you accountable.
Now in my senior year, I've grown to despise everything about the timing of midterm exams. I know I'm definitely not in the majority on this, but I'm also not alone either. Why not have midterms a few weeks before spring break? It keeps students on their toes during the semester while also giving them a week of preparation for whatever spring break plans that
may lie ahead. For teachers, the spring break week can be used as personal time in full without having to worry about grading the midterm examinations. Simply grade the midterms during the final week before spring break.
The ironic twist to this story is that I personally do not have any elaborate spring break plans this year. I suppose my sister's wedding next Saturday falls under the category of "plans," but for all intents and purposes, it's the timing of the examinations more than anything that really irks me. Consider this a personal farewell to midterm examinations from a disgruntled senior — it's been real, I definitely won't miss you, and I loathe you for what you will do to future generations of students wanting a little breathing room the week before spring break.

Student loan debt a growing problem
Let's start with the obvious: student loan debt is a problem. Debt from student loans is now a bigger source of consumer borrowing than credit cards—things notorious for leading ordinary people into bankruptcy and financial struggle. What's more alarming is that student loan debt default is on the rise, meaning that more and more people are not fulfilling their obligations of repayment and leaving lenders, mainly the government, on the hook for money that was lent out.
According to CollegeCalc.org, here at the University, about 45 percent of undergraduates take out a federal student loan to help finance their education. According to FICO via Forbes Magazine, the average amount of student loan debt among college graduates is $27,253, and according to adviserperspectives com half as much as the 2011 median annual income for 25-34 year olds.
For some more perspective, the inflation rate of college costs is over 500 percent since 1982 according to Steve Odland at Forbes and inflationdata.com. Finally, according to CNN, the median yearly income for a family of four in the US for 2011 was just over $50,000 (from US census data), and the average yearly tuition at a four-year public institution is over $8,000. So it's no wonder people need student loans to finance their education; without them, thousands of deserving students at the University and millions throughout the country simply wouldn't be able to go to college.
There are dozens of reasons for the explosions of college costs, but according to the New York Times, funding cuts from states as one of the top reasons for the increase, while Steve Odland said that it has to do with inflated salaries and lack of cost control from within the institutions. Of course, there are hundreds of others, but I only get so much room to write.
This might seem at first glance like a personal financial issue instead of a political or policy issue, and to a certain extent, that's correct. Just like with credit cards, student loans should be used prudently and not recklessly, to finance an education and not a lifestyle. Still, why so much debt? And how do we solve the student debt problem while still preserving the opportunity for every deserving student to pursue a college education?
Some have posed an idea that scares the living crap out of a lot of people: According to Huffington Post, college might
By Eric Schumacher

not be necessary, or even worse. Fox News said that it's a harmful scam. This is, of course, mostly bunk. According to Los Angeles Times, graduates with a four-year degree still make 84 percent more throughout their lives than people without one. Nevertheless, a degree, like all things in life, shouldn't be taken as a guarantee of anything.
But even with such huge amounts of student debt, it's important to remember that this problem has a common root with most other pressing problems in America right now: the gargantuan, nearly unprecedented recession we've been trying to claw back from for the past five years. Students have borrowed more because they need the money to live on while in school, because they or their parents don't have money to pay out of pocket, or because scholarship and grant funds have dried up in the wake of the recession and widespread budget cuts. This isn't to say when and if the economy fully recovers that the student loan problem will magically resolve itself. It's going to take a lot more than that, but it is a big piece of the pie.
Of course, there are immediate steps every student should support to make sure an entire generation of borrowers doesn't spend a huge portion of their adult lives chained to a debt they had little choice in taking on, unless of course they postponed or forfeited college altogether. These include keeping interest rates for loans reasonably low, allowing graduates to "work off" part of their debt by taking jobs in the public or non-profit center, and expanding funds even in a recession to grant and scholarship programs knowing that a more educated work force is going to be worth the investment. What we might ultimately need is a change in the way we think about college—an updated syllabus, if you will. But that's a topic for another column.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Stick out on spring break with perfect beach fashion. Must have include maxi dresses, fedora hats and an oversized straw tote.
Make your spring break unforgettable with fashion
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
As for covering up, dresses are your best friend. For daytime, you can't go wrong in a flowing, black cover up. Again, keep it simple.
Spring break should be spent in beautiful weather, on a beach, drink in hand. (And of course, the perfect wardrobe to go along with it). The sad reality is that most of us won't be doing anything half as exciting. For example, I'll be at home, dog sitting while my parents jet off to Australia and New Zealand for two weeks. Good times.
For starters, choose a bathing suit that will never go out of style. Try sticking to solid colors in classic cuts. Crazy patterns and unusual styles can be unflattering and outdated in a year or two. Whatever it is, make sure that you feel the most comfortable in your choice. Try as many styles as possible to see what feels best for you.
Though I may not be on a beach, I'll most certainly be wearing perfect spring break attire. As long as you're in warm weather, dressing the part for a wild week is all about keeping it simple.
The key to spring break clothing success is it to stick to the basics and keep it comfortable. Believe it or not, it is possible to do this in a trendy manner.
Be sure to wear something that can take you from the beach or pool to a restaurant or other outing.
For evenings out, dresses are still your best friend. Go for a maxi dress in tropical or floral prints. Keep it fun; you are on spring break after all.
When it comes to accessories, now is the time to get your hands on the perfect beach bag. Designers left and right have been coming out with endless amounts of straw toes. Sandals are getting a facelift this season as well. Small heels have been added to many spring and summer shoes, but no one will blame you for keeping yours flat. Gladiators are the way to go.
Sun protection is a must. Yes,
I'm advocating sunscreen. Not
only is a pale complexion in style,
but there's nothing more unat-
tractive than a bright red (or
orange) body. You'll thank me
20 years from now if you take the
couple minutes to spare your skin
and lather on some SPF. If
you really hate putting on sun-
screen, I'm sure you can find
a spring break love interest who
will lend a helping hand.
This is also where hats and sunglasses come in. Go for a straw, wide-brim fedora and a pair of aviators. Not only will these accessories hide your tired hungover eyes, but they're also

If you're really wanting to pull out all the stops for your beach vacay, channel your inner celebrity and go for some body jewellery. Stars such as Beyonce and Rihanna don't step foot on the beach without it.

Whatever you wear next week, be sure it's something you'll feel comfortable enough to have fun in. Spring break is all about fun, and whatever you wear should reflect that. Remember to keep it simple and to have the right accessories. If your trip goes awry, at least you'll be looking stylish.

review
I'll have you down.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Victor (Colin Farrell) looks to exact revenge on a vicious crime boss (Terrence Howard) with the help of a beautiful blackmailer (Noomi Rapace) in "Dead Man Down."
'Dead Man Down' delivers melodramatic vengeance
As much as I enjoy the sleek, freeze-dried theatrics of David Fincher's 2011 version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," I'll always prefer Niels Arden Oplev's leaner, meaner Swedish-language version, which was released to comparatively little fanfare in the spring of 2009. Noomi Rapace, now most famous for giving birth to an intergalactic Squidward in "Prometheus," was the living, breathing, daddy-roasting embodiment of Lisbeth Salander, the rapacious hacker savant whose cold fury was tempered by the subtlest stirrings of a soul in traction. So my expectations were understandably high when it was announced that Rapace and Oplev would be reupling for their first stateside collaboration, a self-described "neo-noir."
The result of their reunion,
"Dead Man Down," is a meat-and-
potatoes revenge thriller elevated by Oplev's impeccable visual eye and committed performances from Rapace, again convincingly portraying an emotional cripple, and Colin Farrell, an actor who tends to work best in colorful supporting roles. It tells the story of Victor (Farrell), a Hungarian engineer whose wife and daughter were killed as part of an intimidation game between a crew of Albanian thugs and Alphonse (Terrence Howard), a suave, soft-spoken Brooklyn crime lord.
After being shot and left to die by the Albanians, Victor goes underground, fashioning himself a new identity as a slick gun-for-hire, and spends the next two years infiltrating Alphonse's criminal empire, patiently waiting for the right time to avenge his loved ones. His absurdly drawn-out vendetta is interrupted by the arrival of his new neighbor Beatrice (Rapace), a mentally and physically scarred ex-beautician whose face was mangled after a collision with a drunk driver.
Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
Halfway through an awkward dinner date, Beatrice reveals that she once saw Victor murder one of Alphonse's underlings in his apartment. She threatens to go to the police unless he agrees to kill the man who deformed her. Victor reluctantly agrees, unaware that his enterprising criminal buddy Darcy (Dominic Cooper) is also dangerously close to discovering the truth about his past.
Often silly but never less than wholly engaging, this strained pulp saga of violence and redemption is bookended by two effective action scenes, including a climactic shootout in Alphonse's mansion that borrows liberally from the first "Die Hard" movie in terms of emotional stakes and spatial dynamics. One shot involving Victor's gravity-defying Dodge Ram is especially well done.
Alternately vindictive and intensely sympathetic, Rapace's performance takes its cue from the
grand dames of film noir, especially Ann Savage's hard-bitten turn in 1945' blackmail drama "Detour". Farrell's portrayal is understated, even anesthetized by comparison, establishing Victor as a man hollowed out by two long years of rage and grief. Howard, whose career has been on the skids since his forced departure from the "Iron Man" franchise, adds little to the proceedings as Alphonse, who seems more interested in replenishing his wardrobe than in catching the rat in his crew.
The film benefits from a strong supporting turn from Dominic Cooper, a gifted dramatic actor who makes a living moonlighting in genre fare like last year's "Abrahman Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Captain America." Here's a capable, compelling performer who's practically begging to ascend to leading-man status. He was fantastic in the dual role of Uday Hussein and his conflicted lookalike in 2011's "The Devil's Double," and I'd love to see him embrace larger, more challenging parts in the future.
All in all, "Dead Man Down" is a wickedly entertaining mid-March surprise, a pedestrian premise given stylistic wings by a gifted European director and his favorite femme fatale. I hope the spirit of collaboration never leaves them. After all, as they say in Sweden, to separate is to die a little.

Dr. Dre's Beats headphones revolutionized the way people listen to music, and now Beats Electronics is at it again with a new streaming service that will change the way people access their music.

The Internet music streaming service, Daisy, will rival competitors like Pandora and Spotify. Daisy will allow listeners to choose their own playlists, and according to The Guardian, Beats has a possible partnership with iTunes in the works to help in this process.
Blavinatk feels that, "Beats has the vision, the brand, the management team, and now the investor group to effectively change the expectations and experiences of a music subscription service," according to the article.
Anna Travis, a freshman from Libertyville, Ill., is an avid user of Pandora.
Blavatnik has predicted that the digital revolution will lead to the revival of the music industry, which explains why he is so strongly supporting the business

"I like Pandora because I'm not good with song names. Pandora makes it so that I can type in a genre and easily listen to songs that I like, without having to know what they are," she said. "I would consider trying Daisy if it's similar and has the same general
Listeners like Travis are whom the new service hopes to help.
Services like Pandora and Spotify have eliminated the aspect of choice in music listening, and that is exactly what Daisy will strive to bring back when it launches in late 2013.

Feld Entertainment partners with Marvel for live arena show
ASSOCIATED PRESS
M. CLEAN, Va. — The people who bring you The Greatest Show on Earth will be taking Spider-Man, the Hulk, Thor and the X-Men on a worldwide road show.
Feld Entertainment Inc., which produces the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, along with a host of other live shows such as Disney on Ice, is announced a partnership Wednesday with Marvel Entertainment to produce a live arena show featuring the Marvel universe of characters.
Exact financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. But Kenneth Feld, CEO of Vienna, Va-based Feld Entertainment, said he expects the show to open in July 2014, and tour arenas domestically and internationally, as the company's other shows do. Production costs will likely exceed $10 million, Feld told The Associated Press in announcing the partnership.
Feld Entertainment has expanded in recent years to acquire several motor sports and monster truck shows aimed at expanding its appeal beyond the young children who go to the circus and girls who flock to the Disney shows. Feld expects the Marvel shows to appeal to older boys, comic book fans and family audiences.
Marvel's chief creative officer, Joe Quesada, said dozens of
people have approached Marvel about doing a live show of some sort over the years. The partnership with Feld Entertainment was the first with which he felt comfortable.
"You always have those questions—how are you going to keep it from being goofy, or silly, or unbelievable?" Quesada said. But the level of showmanship in Feld Entertainment's other shows made an impression.
"They're already doing feats that are superhuman to begin with."
JOE QUESADA Chief creative officer at Marvel
"They're already doing teas that are superhuman to begin with," Quesada said of the performers that Feld Entertainment recruits for its circus and other shows.
Feld said his company's longstanding partnership with Burbank, Calif-based The Walt Disney Co., which acquired Marvel in 2009, helped establish a level of trust between Feld and the Marvel executives.
The show is in the early stages of development in a new training
center that Feld runs in Ellenton, Fla. Feld and Marvel said there is close collaboration to ensure the characters act in ways consistent with fans' understanding, Quesada said the director—veteran choreographer Shanda Sawyer, who has directed various iterations of the Ringling circus and won Emmy awards for her television work, took a deep dive into Marvel mythology that took him aback.
"We had to pull her back," Quesada said. "I told her, I think you're even geeking me out."
Trying to bring superhuman characters to life in a live show can be daunting and even dangerous, as evidence by the difficulties suffered in launching the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." Several performers suffered injuries ranging from concussions to fractured skulls in what became the most expensive show in Broadway history. The $75 million show has since become one of Broadway's ton earners.
The Marvel universe has thousands of characters—some household names and others known only to the most devoted fans. Feld said a live show provides an opportunity to present a wide variety of Marvel characters in a way that will appeal to even casual fans.

PLAY
OFF THE BENCH
Being together for only four months has not stopped this band from playing shows
Off the Bench is a new local band that writes their music in the bathroom. Get your minds out of the gutter. Haven't you heard? The acoustics are great in there.
This band is quickly gaining recognition. They have played 11 shows including two at the Granada and two at the Bottleneck, and they have only been together since November. Their music can be described as a mix of John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Sublime with an occasional mix of rap lyrics to engage the audience.
The four guys who make up this band include Brian Lockwood, a 21 year-old junior, on vocals and rhythm guitar; Zak Heisler, a 25-year-old nursing school student, playing the Djembes (percussion); Kevin Roberts, a 21-year-old senior, on lead guitar; and Jacob Elberg (Cub), the youngest member of the band at 18 years old, on bass guitar.
KANSAN: When and how did you get your start as a band?
PHOTO BY DYLAN SNYDER
ON BEHALF OF THE GRANADA THEATER
KANSAN: When and how did you get your start as a band?
LOCKWOOD: I've played in the bathroom every morning since I was in high school. My freshman year during the summer, I lived with Zak. It's hard enough to find a drummer, but I got lucky because he played the Djembes (an African style rope-tuned drum). Then I met Kevin and found out he played guitar. He was the best out of the people I had played with. Cub came to our first show, and afterwards, we talked. He ended up being a really great bass player, and that's it. We've been jamming ever since, and we are always down to add instruments.
KANSAN: Where has been your favorite place to play so far?
LOCKWOOD: It hard to say that there's a better place to play in Lawrence than the Granada. That definitely stands out when we think about it. We played our first show there, and we actually brought out more people than the headliners.
KANSAN: Describe what it is like to get out on stage and see all those people waiting to hear your music.
Granada
ROBERTS: We are a little nervous before every show, but it's a good nervous, the excited kind. It always reminds us that we need to perform at a certain level, but also reminds us that we can find excitement in the little things and really just play for people. We aim to play good music for good people drinking good drinks.
**LOCKWODD:** Absolutely, if you don't get a little scared, then something is wrong. I used to hate the feeling, but now it's hard to tell if I'm nervous or just really excited.
KANSAN: What is the process of writing songs like?
LOCKWOOD: I write in my bathroom 'cause that's where I play mostly. It has good acoustics; I write songs on moment-to-moment emotions, which works well I think because we are all going through roughly the same experience right now.
KANSAN: Do you write all your own songs?
LOCKWOOD: We love to do mash-ups of artists that people really don't get to hear in our genre. I call it "acoustic hip-hop." A few of my favorites consist of John Mayer, Cheef Keef, Trinidad James and Waka Foka.
KANSAN: Do you have any groupies?
KANSAN: Do you guys ever get stage fright?
LOCKW00D: Haha, funny question. That word has definitely lost its meaning since the '60s but we have a lot of friends that are always around to support us. Most of them are extremely intelligent and beautiful women, so we can't complain!
KANSAN: Describe your ultimate goal as a band
LOCKWOOD: I think we'd all like to get an album completed while still having the same vibe that we started with. Personally I'd love to do something like a Vans Warped tour. The idea of traveling and sharing the music floors me.
ROBERTS: The main goal will always be to have fun with our music. The second it stops being fun, it won't be worth anything. I guess my ultimate goal would be to have people enjoy our music, which they do. All is good.

CLUTTER FREE
Making time to clean can be difficult but may help acheive goals
My floor is constantly covered with strewn papers and multiple stacks of textbooks scattered around. My clothes take up what little space is left
on the floor, and my room looks like utter chaos. With long hours on campus, organizing my room is too big of task for a few hours. However, disorganization and the amount of clutter can affect us beyond our messy rooms.
Certified Professional Organizer Sue Anderson identifies clutter as, "Anything that is taking up space in your home, office or life that you no longer need, use or love."
Students like Ashleigh Watson, a junior from Wichita, keep track of their homework, projects and exam schedules with a digital calendar and a planner. Keeping multiple records adds a greater sense of security that the task won't be forbidden.
John Coler, a senior from Overland Park, likens this to contingency plans. Coler knows he is more likely to do something if it is written down.
For students like Erin Zoglmann, a junior from Wellington, cleaning and being organized is low on the priority list.
"When I have time to do it, I will do it," Zoogman said. "Cleaning is the end of list, and school is first."
Some students prefer organized chaos, where the focus is staying organized regarding their classes but not much else. The upkeep of other things is difficult and time-consuming, which could detract from time spent elsewhere.
However, organized chaos can be counter-productive
"Clutter represents delayed decisions," Anderson
said. "If we would take the time to really think' through why we have something, what we hope to do with it, etc., then more than likely, we wouldn't have it. But making those decisions are difficult, time consuming and overwhelming, so we choose to just put them off."
MAKE A TASK LIST
CREATE A VISION FOR YOUR SPACE
Know where things go to make your space convenient. Determine what is or isn't working for you in that space and how you would like that space to look or work, Anderson says.
Invest in buying a small bookshelf you can put in the corner. It can hold your textbooks and folders or your clothes and shoes. Bookshelves help clear clutter off the floor.
SET GOALS
At the end of the night, just write down a short list of what has to be done the next day. Include cleaning and organizing in the list.
— Tanvi Nimkar
BE PREPARED
BOOKSHELVES CAN BE YOUR FRIEND
Consider what you want. If it is to have no loose papers, set a goal of always filing away your papers. With a clear objective, it's easier to follow through.
"Take 15-30 minutes the night before to prepare for the next day." Anderson said. "This
includes putting the things you'll need the next day by the front door so you can just grab them as you head out."

Preparation for spring break is key to staying safe

1. Do your research. Look at a map of the area you'll be visiting, and get a game plan of potential routes and landmarks. According to Major Chris Keary at the university's Office of Public Safety, if you know your way around, what's going on and walk with authority, you'll be less of a target than someone who seems lost or confused. Before you leave, make sure you have the local police, medical and emergency numbers programmed in your phone. Label them as "ICE" (in case of emergency) for easy searching.
2. Secure your stuff, and stay simple. Ask a trusted friend staying in town to check your mail, grab your newspapers from your doorstep and check your home daily while you're away in exchange for Starbucks or a free dinner. What you do take with you shouldn't be anything that you would hate yourself for losing or ruining. Avoid wearing or bringing flashy things that could also make you a target, or you might find some of your items disappearing quickly.
3. Control your cash. It's easy to get caught up in the spring break experience and throw financial caution to the wind. Avoid overspending by keeping a small, set amount of money with you, and if possible, don't even take a credit card. If you visit an ATM, take a friend to keep an eye on surroundings while you withdraw. Stock up on groceries to reduce the temptation to eat out for every meal, and look for student deals and specials in restaurants or bars.
4. Buddy up. It sounds cliché, but there really is safety in numbers. Avoid the risk of getting lost—or worse—altoftogether by making a pact to stay with a friend when going out. Although spring break is all about meeting new people, don't run off with someone who you've just recently met without bringing your crew.
5. Booze responsibly. How you handle your alcohol situation can make or break your spring break experience. As in any case, drinking can affect your ability to maintain awareness of what's going on, and if you're in unfamiliar territory already, things can potentially get dangerous. If you choose to drink, Keary suggests staying with a friend to protect each other. Try not to mix alcohol with sun exposure as it can leave you feeling the effects more intensely. Wherever you go, never put your drink down or lose sight of your drink and return to it later.
6. Ride respectably. If you can't stay close to the beach or area where you'll be spending time, ask the hotel desk to recommend a licensed taxi service. Only accept rides from people you know, or from clearly marked taxi vehicles. Always avoid getting into a car with someone who isn't sober. Worst case scenario is you and your friends can burn some calories and walk to your destination.
7. Rock the protective gear. Your parents and elementary school teachers were on to something when they said wearing safety equipment is important. Helmets and lifejackets aren't super stylish, but neither are drowning or getting injured. If your participating in an activity, and you know you should wear it, just wear it.
8. Finally, be an awesome friend.
You would do the same for them.
Having a constant awareness of what's going on in a situation and knowing when things are getting out of control means you'll be able to take action and protect yourself and your friends said Keary. You know your friends and you know when something's wrong: do them a favor and if they start acting funny or aren't being responsive, get them and yourself out of the situation to get help. If there is ever a situation in which you or your friends feel uncomfortable, get away. Before you go out for the day or night, create a code word or phrase with your crew to let each other know if one of you isn't cool with what's happening.

COMMENTARY Momentum needed for Big 12 Tournament
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
In a strange season where top-25 teams have been dropping like footballs thrown at Kansas City Chiefs receivers, teams are looking for anything to set them apart from their competition.
For the lajhawys, one thing that could set them apart is momentum
However, that momentum currently does not exist. This is why this Big 12 tournament is one of the most important in recent memory.
The lajahawks have many of the pieces to win a national championship. They have a go-to player in Ben McLemore, an outstanding perimeter defender in Travis Releford, and an outstanding post defender in Jeff Withey, who is now developing a turn-around jump shot.
They are also missing several pieces. They are inconsistent, turn the ball over too often, and struggle against teams whose offense primarily consists of the 3-point shot.
However, this year, these weaknesses will not prevent Kansas from cutting down the nets. The Jayhawks just need a little boost. That boost could come from winning a winnable Big 12 tournament.
Any loss in the Big 12 tournament is a bad loss. In previous years, Kansas would lose in the Big 12 tournament, but it wouldn't be a concern because that was its wake-up call. This year, Kansas has already had its wake-up call. The Oklahoma State loss was the birds chirping outside, the TCU loss was the alarm blaring, and the Oklahoma loss was the entire Kansas marching band breaking into your bedroom with its rendition of the Beastie Bros' Sabatage.
The Jayhawks thought they had righted the ship completely, but then the Baylor debacle showed that there was still work to be done
Kansas had learned its lesson with its four previous Big 12 losses. A loss in the Big 12 tournament does not have the same silver lining it has had in years past. Self could try to parlay it into yet another learning experience, but maybe a loss would simply mean the Jayhawks just aren't championship material.
This tournament is Kansas' for the taking. Texas is suffering from a bad case of Rick Barnes, and all other teams seem to have fatal flaws. Kansas is playing in the nearby Sprint Center with superior talent and a coach who has won nine straight regular season titles.
That's not to say Kansas should underestimate the Big 12 field. To do so would be a worse decision than that time you decided to reheat your leftover Taco Bell. Instead of underestimating the field, Kansas should underestimate itself. It should come out with the notion that if it doesn't have its foot on the accelerator at all times, it could lose.
Not winning would be inexcusable. Meanwhile, winning would give the team much needed momentum and confidence going into a tournament that is seemingly a crapshoot. Kansas could use any intangible it can get to separate itself.
However, Kansas could also win the national championship.
It just needs a step in the right direction.

KANSAS TIPOFF
ku
AT A GLANCE
In 17 years of the Big 12 Tournament, Kansas is the top seed for the tenth time. The Jahayhaws have reached the championship game nine times and won eight of them, including five under Bill Self. Overall, Kansas has won 80 percent of its Big 12 Tournament g-mes. Baylor knocked Kansas out of the tournament in the semifinals last season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, center
Baylor proved that taking Withey out of the game, as they did on Saturday, renders Kansas's post presence almost non-existent. Senior forward
M.
Kevin Young thrives as a complementary post scorer, but he can't take over the post the way Withey can. Freshman forward Perry Ellis was the Jayhawks' best big man Saturday, but like Young, he can't be asked to provide Withey's nearly 14 points and nine rebounds per game, especially in postseason play.
15-1 - The Jayhawks have won 15 of their opening games in the conference tournament. Baylor handed them their only opening loss in the 2009 quarter-finals.
QUESTION MARK
Which McLemore shows up?
One of the few bright spots from the regular season finale was freshman guard Ben McLemore's aggressiveness on the offensive end, where he attempted 16 shots and scored 23 points. Statistically, it was his best road game of the season, and it rivals the 22 points he scored at Ohio State in December. McLemore's main criticism is his tendency to play passive offense on the road. From here on out, all games will be at neutral sites, but some of those could be closer to road games, especially if Kansas progresses in the NCAA Tournament.
82 - Bill Self has won 82 percent of his games in the Big 12 Tournament with an 18-4 record. It's the highest winning percentage for a coach in tournament history.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas enters its third season in style. Self considers the conference season to be Kansas' second season, and the postseason is the third season. Withey said on Monday the Jayhawks already forgot about the Baylor loss. If so, Kansas shouldn't have much trouble Thursday, as they dominated most of the final month of the regular season and looked to be playing its best basketball.
NUMBERS
32-8 - In 16 years of the Big 12 Tournament, Kansas has a 32-8 record, which is 11 more wins than Texas and Oklahoma have.
KU
COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY
KANSAS (26-5,14-4)
M.
McLemore
STARTERS
BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD
Although coach Bill Self said he was most impressed by freshman forward Perry Ellis Saturday against Baylor, McLemore scored five seconds into the game and never disappeared offensively, finishing with 16 shot attempts and 23 points, something he hasn't done on the road often. He is averaging 24 points per game in the past three games.
BECOMING A BUSINESS ADVOCATE
Johnson
PETER GRAHAM
Releford
NO.1 KANSAS VS.NO.9 TEXAS TECH 2 P.M., SPRINT CENTER, KANSAS CITY, MO.
The senior earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors on Sunday, joining McLemore and Withey as the three Jayhawks honored with All-Big 12 Selections. He attempted only six shots and scored just two points Saturday as Baylor outscored Kansas 12-0 in transition. For Kansas to reach its full potential it needs fast break production from Releford, who is one of the best in the country at scoring in the open court.
The senior's much-improved play during the final month of the season showed how differently Kansas plays when Johnson plays to his capability. During Kansas' first 10 conference games Johnson struggled at point guard and Kansas scored more than 70 points only twice. In the final eight games, the Jayhawks scored more than 70 points six times, and Johnson scored in double figures five times.

ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
★★★☆
★★★★★
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
While Jeff Withey is the decorated Kansas big man, Saturday's result showed Young's importance. He played only 15 minutes, attempted two shots, and scored zero points. His three meant freshman Perry Ellis played a bulk of Young's minutes. When Young plays well and with energy, it opens the floor up for Withey and lets the Jayhawks assert their will down low.
★★★☆☆
JEFF WITHEY. CENTER
★★★☆
Withe struggled as well against the Bears, looking frustrated all game long on the offensive end. He had eight points and attempted just three shots. But he did get four blocks and is now 17 blocks away from breaking his own Big 12 single season block record of 140. He was named the conference's Defensive Player of the Year last weekend.

Hannahs
DUSTY HANNAHS, GUARD
Kansas has not brought out the best in Hannahs. In two game versus the Jayhawks this season the freshman has scored just 10 points and dished out one assist. His game is still developing, but he's not likely to take over a game for the Red Raiders anytime soon.
Grav
★☆☆☆☆
JOSH GRAY. GUARD
Gray is another freshman still making the transition to college ball, but he's definitely a rising star for the Red Raiders. He averaged 9.6 points and 3.2 assists per game this season making Gray second in scoring among tech starters
★★☆☆☆
Williams Jr.
AMAL WILLIAMS JR., GUARD
Senior night in Lawrence was a game to forget for most of the Red Raiders, but it might just be easier for Jamal Williams to get his mind erased. The junior was noticeable for all the wrong reasons scoring just four points, committing three turnovers and collecting two personal fouls while getting eaten by Kansas' perimeter defense.
A. M. ROBERTS
★★★★★
In both contests with Kansas, Tobert was able to score easier than any other Tech starter. In two games, he combined for 24 points and eight rebounds. Not stellar numbers by college basketball standards, but for a rebuilding Tech program, he's created a solid foundation to recruit around.
JORDAN TOLBERT, FORWARD
Tolbert
★★★☆★
Kravic is an interesting option for Texas Tech, but doesn't match well with Kansas in the post. He scored double digits in against TUU, Texas and Iowa State, and even scored nine points in his first meeting with Kansas this season. But in Lawrence he shot 0-6 and grabbed just four rebounds.

TTU
TIPOFF
T
AT A GLANCE
After playing West Virginia down to the wire in both games this season (77-61, 66-64) only to come up empty, the Red Raiders finally got passed the Mountaineers in Kansas City during round one of the Big 12 tournament. Yet Kansas had its way with Texas Tech this season and will need to stop an early surge by the Jayhawks to stay in the game.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Crockett
Jaye Crockett, Forward
PRESIDENT
Crockett may come off the bench, but he leads Tech in scoring with nearly 12 points per game and averages nearly seven rebounds. He's the Red
Raiders' proverbial "X" factor and plays about 25 minutes per game. If Tech pulls off the upset, Crockett will be a large reason why.
QUESTION MARK
Will Tech be able to defend the alley-oop?
The last time Texas Tech played Kansas, Lawrence became Lob City. The Jayhawks' were playing high above the rim, and all but one Kansas starter had two dunks. Can the Red Raiders make the adjustments to not allow the easy bucket?
PALMUP
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF..
Kansas finds itself in a dogfight. The Jayhawks should beat the Red Raiders handily (again), but if it comes in the same fashion as Kansas' 60-46 victory in Lubbock it won't be a fun Friday. Saving energy could be the key to a Big 12 tournament championship.
NUMBERS
42. 1 Texas Tech field goal percentage
27. 8 Texas Tech 3-point percentage (last in the Big 12)
8. 14 Texas Tech steals per game (leads the Big 12)

Kansas clinched a share of its ninth-straight Big 12 regular season title, the longest streak in the nation, and fifth-longest regular season conference title streak in NCAA Division I history.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many Conference Championships has KU won?
THE MORNING BREW Sharing Big 12 title better than no title
kuathletics.com
A:56
Following the Kansas State/
Oklahoma State game on Saturday
afternoon, Kansas fans smelled
blood in the water. The Wildcats squan-
dered their opportunity to lock up a share
of the Big 12, falling in Stillwater, 76-70,
leaving Kansas just a victory against a
mediocre Baylor team away from another
Big 12 Championship.
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
K-State saw the writing on the wall. The Big 12 was all but over. Bill Self was going to do his Bill Self thing, and Kansas was going to walk away king again—business as usual. Unfortunately, it didn't go completely as planned.
Kansas couldn't close the deal like it so often does, dropping the Baylor game, 81-58, and K-State was able to taste a little success in basketball, but a share of the Big 12 Championship with the Wildcats is nothing to be ashamed of. Given the circumstances, we should be thrilled that Kansas won their ninth straight.
Newsflash: The Big 12 conference schedule is a grind. There is rivalry, tough road environments, and familiarity. None
of that should be overlooked—it's a freaking marathon, and Kansas was eight-time defending champs. Talk about a target on your back.
This is also a league where all games are weighted the same. Every game matters. Game two is just as important as game 10. So even though it is human nature to remember the final, disappointing loss to Baylor, we shouldn't forget the thrilling comeback win over Iowa State, led by a memorable performance from Elijah Johnson, or Naadir Tharpe's game-winning floater at Oklahoma State, among many others.
We conveniently forget how choppy the waters were just a few short weeks ago. Kansas started February with a tough loss at home to Oklahoma State, and dropped the next two on the road to bottom-dweller TCU, and Oklahoma. It was the first time since 2005 that Kansas had lost three games in a row, and there was plenty of room to stretch your legs and lie down on the Kansas bandwagon. K-State had a soft stranglehold on the Big 12, and Oklahoma State was making a push as well. Kansas was in the running, but they weren't where they usually are in mid-February.
That's when Kansas started to get its mojo back. The Jayhawks rattled off seven straight wins, beating the big boys: K-State (at home). Oklahoma State (away), and Iowa State (away).
An outright championship had once seemed improbable, but now it was just one win away from becoming reality.
Don't get me wrong, I was as disappointed as the next guy when Kansas fell in Waco, Texas, and squandered its
KU
chance to win the Big 12 outright. I know we believe Big 12 titles to be a birthright, but they really are something to be treasured. Sometimes Corey Jefferson will hit his only three career 3-pointers against you, TCU will outshoot you, and you'll lose a game in Norman. It's tough, even for the big boys. And sometimes, the ball bounces your way. Sometimes, Ben McLemore banks a game-tying three near the end of regulation, Texas chokes in the second half, and you escape out of West Virginia with an ugly win. A shared Big 12 title is nothing to scoff at.
March is the zenith of the college basketball season, but if the Jayhawks play to their potential in the tournament, they might just be playing their way through March... and into April.

"I was thinking about all the times coming here," Boeheim said after his 48th Big East tournament win, 13 more than the second-place coach. "I first came to the Garden when I was a sophomore in college—the old, old Garden. Seems like about 50 years ago.
"I was thinking in the locker room before the game, about some of the games, and some of the highlights. Things have kind of been two years coming, but now that it's here, your whole life has been spent in this league, and the last 31 years coming to this building, that's a lot. That's a lot of memories, a lot of time."
ers in the first half to keep No. 19 Syracuse in the game and Brandon Triche keyed a big second-half run for the Orange.
Syracuse, which had lost four of its last five games, looked more like the team that was second in the league in scoring (72.3). The Orange looked nothing like the team that managed just 39 points in a 22-point loss to Georgetown to close the regular season.
Southerland scored all but three of his 20 points in the first half, which finished in a 34-34 tie. Triche finished with 17 points and seven of those were consecutive points he scored in the 19-2 run that turned a 46-all tie into a 65-48 Syracuse lead with 4-41 to play
Michael Carter-Williams, who is fourth in the NCAA at 7.58 assists per game, had 14, including two impressive alley-oop passes for dunks.
"Our offensive movement was the best it's been probably all year," Boeheim said. "Mike played, I think, his best game of the year. James kept us in it when we weren't playing well. And then Brandon and C.J. (Fair) got going the second half.
"For us to be effective, Mike has to make plays, and Brandon and C.J. and James have to score. That's what happened in this game."

OUTFIELD
INFIELD
Smith and Conner McKay are part of one of college baseball's youngest outfield. As the veteran of the group, junior outfielder Tucker Tharp has provided some consistency. Kansas also has sophomore Michael Suiter, who is the reigning Big 12 Baseball Player of the Week.
BATTING
The Jayhawks infield has been good for the most part, but they've had a couple of innings this past weekend against Niagara where they committed some unnecessary errors and couldn't throw out players at times. Kansas looked better against Jackson State and hope it carries over in Big 12 play.
OUTFIELD
INFIELD
Reigning Big 12 Baseball Player of the Year Michael Suiter has a .438 batting average, which is the most by anyone on the team. But Kansas hasn't sent many baseballs beyond fences this season. Senior first baseman Alex DeLeon and sophomore outfielder Dakota Smith are the only ones on the team with a home run on the year. Kansas must deliver with more power in its first conference series of the season.
BATTING
PITCHING
TCU is very similar to Kansas when it comes to fielding in terms of performance and age. TCU has a young group of infielders with third baseman Jantzen Witte being one of only a few seniors on the team. But sophomore-first baseman Derek Odell and sophomore shortstop Keaton Jones have committed eight errors combined on the season, which could allow Kansas to get a couple of extra battens on base if TCU does not adjust its fielding.
TCU's young outfield outfield has only committed one error this season. The Horned Frogs outfield is consists of junior left field Paul Hendrix, freshman right fielder Boomer White and sophomore centerfielder Cody Jones. Jones and White have done well in the outfield as each have one home run on offense this season.
Senior third baseman Jantzen Witte leads the team in home runs, runs batted in and base hits. TCU has also had some help from sophomore center fielder Cody Jones. However, TCU has not had as much success at the plate, which could be costly with Big 12 games coming up.
Junior Frank Duncan, sophomore Wes Benjamin and senior Thomas Taylor have started in four games and have each pitched at least 22 innings and combine for an earned run average of 2.84. TCU's offense will have a difficult weekend if it falls behind. Outside of the starters, Kansas has received great production from junior Jordan Piche' and sophomore Robert Kahana from the bullpen.
PITCHING
TCU's pitching department draws a lot of similarities to Kansas'. The Longhorns are third in the Big 12 in strikeouts so far this season with 118 this season. Preston Morrison is 2-1 on the year and has an earned run average of 0.90 while Trevor Seidenberger is close to him with 1.65.

Senior first baseman Alex DeLeon set the offensive tone early with a first inning home run to straight away left-center field in the Jayhawks' 11-0 victory over Jackson State on Wednesday.
DeLeon's two-run home run snuck over the wall, bewildering fans and umpires alike after Jackson State centerfielder Charles Tillery made the jump and attempted the steal at the wall. Tillery returned to the turf of Hoglund Ballpark with a wrist injury appearing to have the ball in hand.
"I hit it well," Delon said.
"Honestly, we were all confused."
The umpire didn't know what to call, I didn't know what happened

"Every time he hits a flair somewhere, it's falling," coach Ritch Price said. "He gets three seeing eye base hits again today, so I guess when you're hot, you’re hot. I'm thrilled with Suiter's development as a player."

Senior Tanner Poppe pitched four shutout innings, giving up three hits with two strikouts and
one walk.
"After missing two straight starts with a sore shoulder, to look up there and see him hitting the radar gun at 91-93, I felt really good about his performance," Price said. "Obviously, it showed that he's completely healthy and over the inflammation."
The Jayhawks bullpen kept the shutout intact in the remaining innings, moving the Jayhawks to 11-5 this year.
Kansas travels to Fort Worth, Texas to take on a three game series starting March 15 at Lupton Stadium.

TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
JOE DAUGHERTY
jdaugherty@kansan.com
Coming off its first undefeated weekend of the season, the Jayhawk softball team is heading to Sacramento, Calif., for the Capital Classic.
The Jayhawks will face Fresno State, Saint Mary's College, Texas State and the host school Sacramento State. This is the last road tournament before the Jayhawks get to play their home opener against Missouri State. Coach Megan Smith said last weekend the team played its toughest field and will continue to play tougher teams, but hopes the team doesn't play its best softball for a couple weeks.
"When you play in the Big 12, you are playing the best teams in the country week in and week out." Smith said. "So we want to play teams that are highly competitive and have a history of winning, and the teams we're playing this weekend—specifically Fresno State and Texas State—are two of those teams."
The first NCAA stats came out on Tuesday morning and the Jayhawks are leading the nation in batting average, hitting .401. The next closest team is USC. Upstate hitting .374. Smith said she takes pride in offense and that every team she has coached has broken conference records. She said it's good to be here now, but what you really want is to be hitting like this at the end of the season.
"I knew we were a great hitting team but to lead the nation in batting average is pretty impressive," said Maddie Stein, sophomore utility player. "I never want to say we expected it, but I knew we were one of the best batting i-ams, but to see it on paper and have everyone else see it is a pretty big deal."
"I knew we were a great hitting team but to lead the nation in batting average is pretty impressive."
MADDIE STEIN

Kansas will face Fresno State in its first game of the tournament. The Bulldogs are 15-11 on the season. Fresno State is hitting .267 as team and allowing opponents to hit .267 on the season. The bulldogs are coming off of an 8-0 shutout victory against the Gales of Saint Mary's, a team that the Jayhawks will play later in the tournament.
Later on Friday, the Jayhawks will face Saint Mary's College in its second game of the tournament. The Gales are 4-16 on the season and are on a seven-game losing streak. They are struggling on offense as *a team*, only hitting .181 while giving up .286 to opponents on the season. The Gales only have one player hitting over .300 in contrast to the Jayhawks who have 10 players who are hitting over .300 on the season.
Texas State will be the Jayhawks'
first game on Saturday. The Bobcats are 3-19 this season, but have faced some tough competition. Texas State has a history of success but is having a tough season so far, hitting just .230 while allowing their opponents to hit .310 on the season.
The Jayhawks will face the Sacramento State Hornets in the finale of the tournament. The Hornets are 12-6 on the season and are coming off a 2-1 loss to Cal Poly, but before that loss, the hornets were on a seven-game winning streak. Sacramento State is hitting .282 and allowing its opponents to hit only .228 on the season. The Hornets have three pitchers that have an ERA under 3.00 on the season that might be able to give the Jayhawks potent lineup a challenge.
Coach and players alike are excited to finally come home after this weekend and for a home stand. Sophomore pitcher Alicia Pille said that she is excited to play in front, of the crowd because that's the best thing about being home.
Stein said she is pumped about getting closer to playing at home because she is ready to show the fans how well they have been playing and hitting this season. Coach Smith said it's kind of bittersweet because the team plays great on the road, but it will be good to sleep in their own beds and play at home.

Mitch Seavey holds one of his lead dogs, Taurus, as he poses for photographers at the finish line of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race in Nome, Alaska, Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Seavey became the oldest winner and a two-time Iditarod champion.
53-year-old is oldest winner of Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NOME, Alaska — A 53-year-old former champion won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to become the oldest winner of Alaska's grueling test of endurance.
Mitch Seavey and 10 dogs crossed the Nome finish line to cheering crowds at 10:39 p.m. Alaska time Tuesday.
"This is for all of the gentlemen of a certain age," he said on a live stream posted to the iditarod website after completing the race in temperatures just above zero. His race time in the 1,000-mile race was nine days, 7 hours and 39 minutes.
"You did a good job," Seavey told Zirkle as a camera crew filmed them. "You're going to win this thing, probably more than once."
Seavey's victory came after dueling sprint against Ally Zirkle, last year's runner up, along the frozen, wind-whipped Bering Sea coast. Zirkle crossed the finish line 24 minutes after her rival, who later greeted her.
At a news conference after the race, Zirkle gave credit to her rival's strategy.
"Mitch has this ability to sit on the sidelines and refuel because he knows he needs to refuel, while everyone else is zooming by," she said. "It's smart, and that's probably why you won."
For reaching Nome first, Seavey wins $50,400 and a 2013 pickup truck. The rest of the $600,000 purse will be split among the next 29 mushers to cross the finish line under the famed burled arch on Front Street, a block from the sea.
At the finish, both mushers rushed to pet their dogs, with Seavey singling out his main leader, 6-year-old Tanner. He posed for photos with the dog and another leader, Taurus, wearing yellow garlands.
Zirkle's dogs wagged their tails as she praised them.
"My dog team is my heart," she said.
The pair jostled for the lead, with Zirkle never more than a few miles behind in the final stretch.
"I just now stopped looking over my shoulder," Seavey said after crossing the finish line.
"I just never stopped looking over my shoulder"
MITCH SEAVEY
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race winner
Also trailing by a dozen or so miles was four-time champion Jeff King, who was followed by a cluster of contenders, including Seavey's son, Dallas. Last year at age 25, he became the youngest Iditarod winner, beating Zirkle to the finish line by one hour.
Mitch Seavey first won the Iditarod in 2004. Before Seavey's win on Tuesday, King had been the oldest Iditarod champion, winning his fourth race at 50 in 2006.
The oldies were still stellar performers in a race that ended last year with a top field featuring many
"Last year, we saw a lot of those youngsters in the top 10," McLarnon said. "Some of those 45-plussers are taking back the lead this year. They are showing the young 'uns what they can really do out there on that trail."
finishers in their 30s, said Iditarod race spokeswoman Erin McLarnon.
Zirkle, 43, had hoped to be only the third woman to win the race and the first since Susan Butcher won her fourth Iditarod in 1990. Before this year's race, Zirkle noted the long time since a woman won.
"This is my 13th year, and I've wanted to win every year," she said before the race, which began March 2 with 66 teams at a ceremonial start in Anchorage.
The competitive part of the race began the following day in Willow 50 miles to the north. Then the race changed leaders several times. Those at the front of the field included four-time champions Lance Mackey and Martin Buser, who later fell behind.
En route to Nome, the race turned into an aggressively contested run among veterans along an often punishing trail.
Conditions on the Yukon River required dogs to go through deep snow and navigate glare ice. Above-freezing temperatures also led to overflow along the trail, a potentially dangerous situation where water has pushed up through the ice and refrozen, creating a weak top layer of ice that teams and mushers can break through.

ACCIDENT
Girl hikes to help in the dark after crash
WHERE: Kansas Union, Level 4 lobby
WHEN: 3 to 4 p.m.
LOS ANGELES — A 9-year-old girl crawled out of a mangled SUV, climbed out of a canyon and walked about a mile in the middle of the night to find help after surviving a highway crash that killed her father in Southern California, authorities said.
The 2010 Ford Escape was launched about 200 feet down an embankment along a semi-rural stretch of the Sierra Highway in Acton about 1 a.m. Sunday, said California Highway Patrol Officer Cheyenne Quesada. The vehicle
overturned several times.
The girl managed to extricate herself and walk through rugged terrain to a nearby home, but nobody answered the door, the CHP said. Then she hiked up the steep embankment and along the road to a commuter rail station where she flagged down a passing motorist at about 2:30 a.m.
"She walked quite a distance in a very, very threatening environment. It's very black out there, very dark," CHP Sgt. Tom Lackey told KABC-TV. "It's very steep and it's brushy and there's also coyotes in the background."
Responding officers found a man in his 30s had been killed, Quesada said. His name was not released, but officials said he was from Los Angeles.
A helicopter transported the girl to Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She was treated for minor injuries, including bumps and bruises and a cut on her face.
Television footage showed crews extricating the severely damaged black SUV from the canyon.
Associated Press
The CHP is investigating whether alcohol played a role in the crash.

Chicago to shut down 54 public schools
"It's not to say (Emanuel) is a bad person, but I'm saying I don't agree with a lot of the decisions he's making," said Yolanda Harris, a parent who protested outside the South Side school Friday with other parents. "He's making big mistakes."
CHICAGO — Mayor Rahm Emanuel responded Saturday to widespread criticism of his plan to close 54 Chicago public schools, saying he wasn't interested in doing what was politically easy and that the pain of the closings doesn't compare to the anguish of "trapping" kids in failing schools.
"If we don't make these changes, we haven't lived up to our responsibility as adults to the children of the city of Chicago," Emanuel said in his first public statements since Thursday's announcement. "And I did not run for office to shirk my responsibility."
Emanuel was out of town when his schools chief, Barbara Byrd-Bennett, announced the closings. It is the largest number of Chicago public schools to be shuttered in a single year, and officials say it will affect some 30,000 students in the nation's third-largest school district.
The long-awaited announcement angered many parents, teachers, lawmakers and community members, who say it disproportionately affects minority neighborhoods. Opponents also argue the closings will endanger children who may have to cross gang boundaries to get to a new school and will eliminate facilities that are considered anchors in some struggling communities.
Associated Press
Opponents protested outside of several schools Friday, and the Chicago Teachers Union and other organizations are planning a march Wednesday in downtown Chicago.

March Madness increases profits for businesses
JENNA JAKOWATZ

COLD BEER
Royals
KELSEY WEAVER/KANSAN
More wins means more money. For downtown Lawrence businesses, revenue and sales soar during March. The further the Jayhawks advance in the NCAA tournament, the more profits businesses see.
(Left to right) Brian Williams, a Lawrence resident, Bob Stumpff of Overland Park and Rhett Dubiel and Ben Gibler of Lawrence cheer in Buffalo Wild Wings during March Madness. The group had been waiting since 11 a.m. to watch the NCAA Tournament.
Simon Bates manages the Burger Stand at 803 Massachusetts St. Bates said the restaurant and bar will be gearing up for the madness Mass Street might bring, should the Jayhawks advance to the Elite Eight and Final Four.
"We plan on ordering a large number of plastic cups, putting in a huge liquor order and will order a bunch of kegs," Bates said. "Then we cross our fingers and hope for a win."
Should the worst happen, Bates said at least Jayhawk fans can look forward to food and drink specials.
"If we don't win, we sell our excess food and beer that we ordered for a victory as specials during the
next week," Bates said.
While the Burger Stand is stocking up on kegs, other stores are stocking up on Jayhawk apparel and expecting to sell out quickly.
"During March, we order a lot more shirts than usual," said Chris Boyajian, who works at Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St. "We'll change up our displays and put certain items in the front of the store so customers can see them right away."
Boyaian said due to the rise in customers during this time of year, it's important to stay well-stocked on apparel, especially Final Four shirts. It's standard to empty a completely,full stock not long after a javahawk win.
Jock's Nitch is prepared for the rise in business, and the employees know what is expected of them in the coming weeks.
Like Jock's Nitch, the Burger Stand will be staffing up for the
"We staff extra people, especially on game days. The further the Jayhawks go, the more sales we see," Boyaian said.
later rounds of the tournament,
should Kansas make it.
"We are extra prepared this time. We'll be staffing up well," Bates said. "We'll have at least 10 bartenders so people can be served quicker and more efficiently."
Bates said the 20,000-plus people who made their way to Mass Street last year was huge for business. If the Jayhaws reach the Elite Eight, Bates said he expects sales to double in comparison to the other months of the year.
"Our alcohol sales will skyrocket," he said.
Although Boyajian might not be happy about having to work on game days, Bates welcomes the madness that March brings to his business.

Wind Ensemble prepares to perform at Carnegie Hall tomorrow
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
Times Square was aglow late Saturday night as a group of KU student musicians toured the Big Apple. Between dress rehearsals at the world's most prestigious concert venue, a group of Jayhawks crowded to cheer on the men's basketball game in a bar Sunday downtown.
The University Wind Ensemble has traveled to New York City to play at Carnegie Hall, performing the world premiere of Mahammed Fairouz's fourth symphony Tuesday night.
Jim Zakoura, an alumnus donor, commissioned Fairouz to compose his latest symphony. "In the Shadow of No Towers," inspired by Art Spiegelman's book discussing the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Thanks to Zakouras donation, the Wind Ensemble's trip to give the world premiere for one of the most frequently performed composers of his generation is at no cost to the students or professors.
"Carnegie Hall is seen as the ultimate in high-profile venues through musical performance circles," said Dina Pannabecker Evans, the assistant dean for student opportunity for the School of Music. "There's a certain status that comes with performing there. Being able to add this experience to their resumes will continue to round out the exceptional experience these students are getting at KU."
Fairouz not only wrote his fourth symphony with the University's
Wind Ensemble's abilities in mind, but he has performed rehearsals and recording sessions to give feedback and advice during the rehearsal process.
"The interpretation that we're doing is the real one," Muriel Hague said. "It's so great to be able to have the composer with us and to give us his interpretation because that's the most true form of the music."
Hague, a junior from Overland Park studying music education, plays the french horn in the ensemble. Premiering a composition, she said, has been a rewarding and unique opportunity.
"You get to learn the music the first time any performer has learned the music," Hague said. "There's nothing you can go to as a reference -- there are no recordings, there are
no articles about how it should be played. It's up to you. We're helping create the music."
The symphony itself blends classical music with modern composition techniques. In one movement, "One Country Under Two Flags," the Ensemble splits into two bands performing simultaneously.
"It's a literal metaphor for the red state versus blue state conflict that was present in the United States after 9/11," said Philip Kaul. "That's pretty unconventional that there are two separate bands playing at the same time. It's not something that you'll see in wind band literature very often. But it's something that really helps to contribute to the story. It's accessible and it's clear to the audience."
Kaul, a music education major
from DeSoto, is one of only five freshmen in the Ensemble. He plays the tenor saxophone. Though New York City was a 24-hour bus ride away, Kaul believes that the Ensemble is well-prepared to perform, regardless of the venue.
"It's just like if you were preparing for a sport and you do the same thing at practice every single time," Kaul said. "Even though it's the big game of the season, you're not going to suddenly change what you're doing. It's a bigger stage, but we're actively trying to make sure we keep doing what we've been practicing to do."
After Paul Popiel, the conductor,
reviewed the composition this past summer,
the ensemble rehearsed three days a week beginning Feb.
4. Though the Wind Ensemble will
be one of only two college musical groups to perform at Carnegie Hall this academic year, Hague too is looking forward to a successful performance.
"Carnegie Hall is such a famous place, and there's a little bit more pressure involved with it, but at the same time, it's just another stage, and we've all performed on lots of stages," Hague said.
Tickets for the Ensemble's performances Tuesday, March 26 at 8 p.m. at the Isaac Stern Auditorium in Carnegie Hall are $25. The Ensemble will also give a free encore performance in Lawrence at the Lied Center on April 2.

What's all this nonsense about more "free printing?" Where do you think KU gets the money that allows us $8 of printing?

CAMPUS
Student senate is about to make your life hell
Dear KU Student Senate Election Coalitions, I do not want to!
I do not want to be chased across campus. I refuse to wear a button. I refuse to take a flyer. If I frown, look away and walk faster when I see you see me, it's a hint that I don't want to talk to you. I hereby promise to take one flyer from each coalition and consider them carefully. I promise to read the platforms and Facebook pages of both groups. But in return I expect to have my personal space respected. I expect to be able to walk to my class in peace.
Fellow students, in the next few weeks, the active tabling will begin, and with it, your biggest worry. You might think "Sure, I can avoid a few tablers," but you are wrong. It's not a "few," it's an army, and they are trained to not be avoided.
For those who weren't here previous years for this nightmare, here's a quick explanation. There
are very specific rules for senate elections about how the coalitions can campaign and when they can use different methods. Right now chalking and passive tabling—the people handing out free stuff to those who approach them—are allowed, but soon the real fun begins. Soon coalitions can begin active tabling.
By Anna Wenner
awenner@kansan.com
Active tabling basically means that the coalition members eat, sleep and breathe their mission. Every moment they aren't in class or work, they are out there holding flyers, flashing smiles and trying to shove as many buttons on you as they possibly can. You'd think you could just walk around them, but it's not that simple. They don't take no for an answer. They chase you, sometimes across campus, sometimes across Lawrence (OK, maybe the second one is a slight exaggeration) until you take their flyer. The only way to avoid taking a flyer is by wearing their button, and even that
doesn't always save you.
It is because of that I propose the following methods to avoid (or reciprocate the annoyance) of active tabulers.
1) "I can't hear you!" Put your head phones in, hum loudly and walk fast. Avoid direct eye contact and never let them sense your fear. Remember, the tablers are more scared of you than you are of them (this might be a lie).
2) Blend in. See a tabler approaching you? Don't panic, just have a notebook ready. Tear out pages from your notebook, or use pieces of homework and start holding them out to everyone
you walk by. Smile at these people and pretend you're also a tabler with a very important message to get across. The real tablers will think you're one of them and will let you pass.
3) Wear all the buttons! If you have one of the buttons, they let you pass, right? Therefore, it only makes sense to wear one from each coalition. That way you don't have to advertise your vote to the entire campus, and supposedly the tablels will let you pass unscathed.
4) Take the flyer, then give it back. Take the first flyer that someone hands you and read it. When the next tabler tries to shove a flyer on you, hand them their own coalition's flyer back. It's like recycling, but the recycle bins come to you.
you a flyer. You can't be entirely sure, though. They might just see it as an audience who can't escape.
5) Play dead. If all else fails and a tabler does catch you, fake a heart attack and fall to the ground. With luck they'll call an ambulance instead of handing
Before I close, I would like to pause here and be serious. As a student it is your duty to make an informed decision and vote, and it is very important that you do so. It is your money Senate spends, and this is your chance to make a difference. If you need the above methods to stay sane long enough to vote, so be it. But my hope is this: the KU coalitions consider a balance between active and hyper-active tabling, and that they productively spread their message rather than wasting their, and our, time.

RELATIONSHIPS
We can't expect our significant others to change
Within the past month, people far and wide have been experiencing change—change in seasons, time and temperature. Likewise, students who are graduating this semester are likely experiencing change in finding jobs or graduate schools and beginning to make mental calculations of how much they'll be able to mooch off their parents for how long come August.
In suit, one dating philosophy that's as old as time is that partners should not expect their significant others to change, even as months, seasons, and enrollment at the University do. And a lot of the time, it's true, we shouldn't expect our boyfriends, girlfriends or whatever to change major aspects of themselves like their belief systems or their relationships with others.
But the philosophy overlooks the idea that not every element of a person is essential to his being and therefore shouldn't be a topic of discussion if an issue arises.
A few weeks ago I had pizza with someone with whom I'm somewhere between exes and
friends. After a lengthy discussion about whether his new crush was into him or not, somewhere the topic shifted to my frustration with his chronic unpunctuality during the relationship we shared three years prior. I expected a sheepish apology accompanied by a flirty grin typical of his fashion, but was instead asked. "Then why didn't you just break up with me?"
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
I put on a façade of being stumped but was internally screaming that I thought he would change. We may have dated three years ago and may have never been serious, but I couldn't get it out of my head: was I seriously at dinner with a guy who'd rather ditch a relationship than be on time?
In retrospect, I have to wonder if pop dating philosophy would make an exception here. It should.
People shouldn't expect their partners to willingly change any and everything at their significant others' whim. Elements of people's entire beings like music tastes and hobbies should not be expected to change for the sake
of a relationship because that change would undermine individuality and identity.
However, things that every couple should expect in relationships like respect and reliability are nonnegotiable, and can justifiably be a topic of conversation when those needs aren't being met. When the need is so basic and generally expected to be met in virtually every relationship, people are right in asking their partners to change in order to keep the bond afloat. If the problem isn't an essential aspect of the person being asked to change anyway, like being on time, what's the big deal?
Romantic relationships are a sort of social contract in which the people in them willingly enter
into a framework that demands certain things of them like being monogamous, for example. For that reason, some bloggers like Rich Santos of Marie Claire Magazine advocate that when you enter those relationships, you are effectively agreeing that everything about the other person is acceptable.
But contracts – either real or implied – can be and are broken, and people can bring unforeseen issues to the table, like punctuality for my ex and me. People always have the option to break up over these issues, but for those of us who would rather try to fix the problem than immediately abandon the relationship, a discussion about change is warranted. As long as we navigate it well and give the defendant a chance to give his input, change could be expected to be made, and the discussion would do the relationship good.
A week after I examined my ex-boyfriend's new crush's texts over pepperoni and mushroom pizza, I had an intense falling out with someone with whom I had become fairly close to over the
course of the past three months, who was coincidentally friends with that ex.
Maybe my ex will change sometime for his new girl. Maybe my ex's friend and I will recon- cile. But maybe not.
To my chagrin we got into an argument that left me reeling because it was all the proof I needed that he objectified me and wasn't about to take me seriously — issues I had with my ex too. After my conversation with my ex and my falling out with his friend, it dawned on me that sometimes change won't happen regardless of how much you want it to.
Regardless, though, sometimes you can justify trying to change another person, and we shouldn't have to suffer at a crossroads in relationships or friendships at the hands of pop philosophy. And when we don't, we may find ourselves happier and our relationships stronger.

The article was suggesting one way men can help combat violence against women. Nowhere does it call all men rapists; nowhere does it disregard violence against men. It is addressing one route men can take to help stop violence and nothing more.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Why is the first thing we ask a victim of sexual assault, "Was your dress too short?" or "Did you drink too much?" when we never ask a victim of robbery, "Was your suit too nice?" or "Did your watch look expensive?
This letter is in reference to the article "Men Need to Confront Sexual Violence," published Thursday March 14 by Katherine Gywyn. I thought the article had a great point, but based upon some readers' reactions, I believe some may have missed the point. So I want to help clarify a few things.
When a woman's claim of sexual assault is questioned because she was "drunk" or "dressed skimpy," then we are operating
Suggesting that men should help combat a culture that devalues the experiences and opinions of women is not a radical proposition — it is an appeal to equality. Real men help people, and one way you can help is to hold your male friends to a higher standard. Grow up and stop blaming women for the actions of rapists. Become involved and become a positive force in the world — not one behind a computer.

— it also assumes men obviously cannot stop themselves. As a man, I am honestly insulted by this mentality.
I believe that men are better than that. If you do too, then you should feel insulted when people question a victim's clothing choice or drink choice because it assumes men just can't stop themselves from raping.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 9
today is a 9
The competition is fierce, but you can handle it. You'll feel better as feelings and logic align. Travel is now an emotional experience. Don't touch your savings.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
Explore new boundaries in places where you didn't think to look before. Take the time to get your ideas across. What you're learning clashes with your old routine. Find quiet.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is an 8
It's a big mistake to think you're the smartest. That's irrelevant, anyway. There's still work to be done. Dedication is part of the solution. Horses may be part of the picture. Get out of the clouds and ride.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is an 8
today is an 8
There's less than you thought, but the opportunities for more are wide open. Ignore a rude remark, or anything that distracts from your commitments. There's plenty of work to do. Dive into it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
Stay outside of the controversy; you have bigger and better things to worry about. If you really think it will make a difference, wait a while. Anticipate criticism. Otherwise, keep to your commitments.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
Listen. What you learn today helps you in the long run. Put your confidence and power behind a great cause. Don't throw your money around, though; not even for love. Give your heart instead.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7
Listen to a roommate carefully and without losing your temper. There's gold to be found in those words. Remember your manners. Being silent can be fine. Respond later. Imagine your home filled with harmony.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
Read emails and respond to phone messages to avoid a misunderstanding. Make new friends on social media, but don't believe everything you see. Stay cautious in the digital world. Check your privacy
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
Stand up for what is right, even in the face of disagreement. But watch out so you don't come off as obnoxious. Your dedication may be stronger than your words. Mold your message, edit and put it into action.
Ride out the storm, and calm another's fears. Take a moment to catch your breath. Then conjure ideas for an additional income stream, now and for the long run. Invest in tangibles, rather than fiction.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
Work out your differences so that you can move forward with ease. You can really handle it. It's worth taking the time. Postpone parties and committee meetings. It's not a
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

CROSSWORD
State your position firmly, and be willing to be flexible, up to a point. An objective perspective helps. Enough talking about it; now's the time to get active. Boost morale with music and good food.

Beyoncé named the new face of H&M, inspires summer fashion
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
As if taking over the Super Bowl, getting ready for a world tour and finishing up a new album isn't enough. Beyoncé Knowles is now also the new face of H&M. The Swedish retailer confirmed that the singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and now model is the new face and inspiration for the store's 2013 summer campaign.
According to Vogue News, the upcoming campaign features beachwear and swimwear that had Beyonce's "personal input on the pieces seen in the campaign," as a representative for the brand confirmed. The collection was inspired by emotions represented
by the elements fire, water, earth and wind.
"H&M's summer campaign starring Beyoncé is an epic fantasy, with glamour, drama and also a sense of paradise." Donald Schneider, H&M's creative director, told Vogue News. "The campaign is the essence of Beyoncé, and also the essence of H&M this summer."
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot advertisements for the campaign earlier this year in the Bahamas. The print photos shot by the famous Dutch fashion photography duo aren't all the campaign offers, though. H&M also plans to release a television commercial featuring Beyonce's new song, "Standing on the Sun."
H&M couldn't have chosen a more perfect option. Though she laid low after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, Queen B seems to be everywhere in sight these days. She sang at the January presidential inauguration, took the Super Bowl by storm, is set to release a new album, and oh yeah, is also a new mother. Next she'll begin her 42-city world tour in Serbia on April 15, and told Shape magazine in a recent interview that she and husband Jay-Z plan to extend their family afterward. 2013 seems to be Beyonce's year, and with the way things are going, 2014 will most likely be hers as well.

Before spring break, we had a vote in one of my classes on the best basketball film. It was no contest – "Space Jam" won by a landslide.
Do we really think this gooey kids' movie is the defining basketball flick? Deep down, if we're being honest with ourselves, the answer is no. But it's such a childhood favorite that it commands fierce loyalty from our generation, so it feels wrong to say otherwise.
And more than any other film, it got young kids interested and involved in the game of basketball. It inspired dreams in the sportiest to the least athletic of children, wanting to become a hero to the basketball world (and the cartoon world) like Michael Jordan.
When I started playing basketball in fourth grade, "Space jam" was the most experience I'd had with the sport. All of my friends were on GABL teams so that's mainly why I joined, but it was the "Space Jam" theme song that played in my head during games. I always related the clash against the Monsters with the struggle against the opposing team.
But my love for that movie never translated into watching collegiate and professional basketball, and those still don't interest me today. Besides cheering on the lajawhys in the big games, I don't care about March Madness at all. However, my heart always grows with fondness this time of year for the film that serves as my foundation in the sports world.
Hell, it even represented at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con. In the "nerd battle tournament," where the most powerful superheros and supervillains squared off in debate, the character of Michael Jordan from "Space Jam" took the title of champion, as decided by the audience. In the geekiest gathering on Earth, legendary basketball skills were deemed greater than every superpower. Now that's a legacy.
So, in case you haven't watched it recently, there's no better time than now Take a break from obsessing about the tournament and bust out the chronicle of the best matchup in
the history of basketball – the Tune Squad and M1 vs. the Monstars.
You'll be happy to know that 17 years after its release, "Space Jam" is still awesome, with many new reasons to love it at this age. As the still active, never updated official site for the movie says, it's "one of the most high-tech, high-concept, high-flying films ever made."
There's a drinking game with lots of fun rules to go with it for one thing, but on its own this movie is still lovably silly in a way that's hard to find anymore. Sure, it doesn't get super exciting until the second half, when the game starts, but the whole soundtrack rocks and there's so much nostalgia for the classic cartoon days of yore to keep you elated until then. And you might not have noticed as a kid, but Lola Bunny is the sexiest cartoon character ever.
The performances are hilarious, as Newman from "Seinfeld" (Wayne Knight) runs around like a sweaty madman, Danny DeVito zealously voices bad guy Swackhammer and Bill Murray shows up occasionally to simply be a boss. The slapstick oafishness of the real NBA '90s stars who lose their talents remains funny in part because of the stiff acting, and then of course there's Jordan. The majority of his ridiculous performance soars to new comedic heights when you think about him acting on a green-screened stage, having to imagine the cartoons in front of him.
Once it's game on, well, let's just say real basketball only wishes it could be that entertaining.

The ceremony was part of ongoing efforts to give back hundreds of looted artworks that still hang in the Louvre and other French museums.
Artwork, stolen during WWII, returned to correct families
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Tom Selldorff was 6 years old when he saw his grandfather's prized art collection for the last time in 1930s Vienna, before it fell into Nazi hands.
Now, he's 84, and in a ceremony in Paris on Tuesday, the American was finally given back a piece of his late grandfather's memory; France has returned six of his stolen family masterpieces.
The restitution of the works — including paintings by Alessandro Longhi and Sebastiano Ricci — is part of France's ongoing effort to return hundreds of looted artworks that Jewish owners lost during the war that still hang in the Louvre and other museums. The move ends years of struggle for Selldorff, whose claims were validated by the French government last year after years of researching the fates of the works.
"I'm extremely grateful and very
moved," said Selldorff, who flew in from Boston for the event at France's Culture Ministry, where the oil paintings were on temporary display. "These paintings were in this fog of war. The restitution was not easy. It took a long time."
The artworks were stolen or sold under duress some seven decades ago as Jewish industrialist and art collector Richard Neumann — Selldorf's grandfather — and his family fled Nazi-occupied Europe. The collection — whose original size is unknown — was his ticket out, though he sold it for a fraction of its value. The route the artworks took to show up in French museums is unclear, making their way to places like the Museum of Modern Art of Saint-Etienne, the Agen Fine Arts Museum, the Tours Fine Art Museum, and the Louvre.
"After losing most of his family assets and a good part of his collection to the Nazis in Austria in 1938, he came to Paris for several
years and then had to flee again,
this time with my grandmother at
one point on foot over the Pyrenees,
to Spain, and then eventually
to Cuba," Seldorff said.
The paintings stayed behind all six destined for display in the art gallery Adolf Hitler wanted to build in his hometown of Linz Austria, according to a catalog for the planned museum.
"I only wish my grandfather was here to be able to be a part of all this, but I am sure he is watching from somewhere upstairs, so that's fine." Seldorff said.
At the war's end, artworks were left "unclaimed," and many thousands that were thought to have been French-owned found their ways into the country's top museums. Many of the 100,000 possessions looted, stolen or appropriated between 1940 and 1944 in France have been returned to lewish families, but some 2,000 art works remain in state institutions.

Kansas defies critics, beats No.5 Colorado in first round
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
nfordyce@kansan.com
Coming into the game against the No. 5 seeded Colorado Buffaloes, the Kansas Jayhawks weren't suppose to be there. They weren't supposed to be in the NCAA tournament. Many assumed they would be NIT-bound.
But the No. 12 seeded lajwhays didn't care what their critics said about their place in the postseason. They decided to roll over the higher seeded Buffaloes, and did so on Colorado's home court nonetheless.
Now, one game into the tournament, the Jayhawks find themselves in a situation similar to last season.
The Jayhawks are one win from being among of the top 16 teams in the country and tasting the sweetness that such status brings.
Now, they stare the No.4 seeded South Carolina Gamecocks square in the face.
The challenge of the NCAA tournament is that teams play opponents that they aren't accustomed to playing. Linking teams to someone in the same conference can give a team the leg up
when trying to prepare.
"We've watched a little bit and talked about them," senior Kansas forward Carolyn Davis said. "We compared them to West Virginia in our league by how tough they are. They're not as big as West Virginia, but they're athletic, strong and quick and it's going to be tough to beat them."
Much like last year, the Jayhawks weren't supposed to advance in the tournament. They proved the critics wrong as they almost advanced to the Elite 8 on their journey as a No.11 seed when they beat No.6 Nebraska and then No.3 Delaware to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
Because of the 67-52 victory over the Buffaloes, the Gamecocks will be looking out for the Jawhaws. Led by the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and All-SEC First Team selection senior guard leasia Walker, the Gamecocks bring aggression on the defensive side.
The No. 4 seed, which was ranked No.17 nationally, is 26-10 on the season. Only four teams have managed to crack 60 points on its tough, rugged defense. The four teams that scored over the 60-point threshold were 4-0
against the Gamecocks.
Despite feeling unwanted in the tournament, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson still looks at the No.12 seed Jayhawks as a team under the gun, even if they are playing a lower seed.
"There is pressure. We want to win," Henrickson said. "Pressure is a privilege. If our kids do not feel pressure they probably do not think they can win. You earn that opportunity and it is a tremendous challenge for a team to come in here and play. Great players want to play."
Kansas will take the court against South Carolina tonight at 7:30. Senior guard Angel Goodrich will be at the forefront of the team, and she doesn't care if people think the Jayhawks belong or not.
"There were doubters last year too," Goodrich said. "We just wanted to show what we could do. If there are doubters now—and I'm sure there are—we don't look at that. We just want to go out and play for fun and for each other and show what we can do as a team."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We have a pretty good recruiting class coming in, but Perry is going to score a lot of points at Kansas"
Bill Self
FACT OF THE DAY
Kansas' recruiting class is currently ranked 3rd in the country.

Q: Who is the highest ranked player that Bill Self has ever recruited?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: Josh Selby

THE MORNING BREW Kansas still leading on recruiting trail
The Kansas layhawks are gung-ho on getting to the Final Four consistently, which is riveting, but
consistently, which is riveting, but I want to take a step back from all the madness, and start thinking about next year. I'm starting to salivate when I think of the future of this program.
Here's a little blind test for you. One recruiting class, we'll call it A, is made up of the number 25, 26, 31, 37, and 134-ranked high school basketball players in the country. Players ranked 24, 51 and 92 will return to this team.
Another recruiting class, we'll call it B, was made up of the number 8, 12, 13, and 28 ranked high school players in the country. That team returned players ranked 27, 34, and 54.
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
It's not too rash to say that any coach in America would take either of these classes in a heartbeat. Bill Self got both of them.
These classes are two of rivals.com's highest ranked classes since it began its service in 1998.
Class A is Kansas's 2013 recruiting class. This team will also sport veterans such as Naadir Tharpe, Perry Ellis, Andrew White
III and Jamari Traylor.
Class B was Kansas's 2005 recruiting class, one of Self's best, with names like Mario Chalmer, Brandon Rush and Julian Wright, and that team returned Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson and Russell Robinson.
Class B won a National Championship. I wouldn't be surprised if Class A follows suit.
Conner Frankamp is a 6-foot point guard from Wichita who is so Kirk Hinrich-esque it sends shivers down my back. He can also nail 3-pointers.
Shooting guard Wayne Selden is a titan from Tilton, N.H., checking in at 6-feet-5
inches and 225 pounds. The guy is a human highlight reel if you haven't already seen his film.
Brannen Greene, a small forward from Georgia, is my dark horse out of this group. I think he is a little overlooked by most Kansas fans, but his girl is 6-foot-7, and can shoot and finish at the basket.
Kansas will dearly miss its defensive safety blanket down low, Jeff Withey, when he graduates; there is no denying he will leave big shoes to fill, but *-foot Joel Embid*, from Gainesville, Fla., certainly has the dimensions to fill Withey's sneakers. Even though he may not be quite as amazing of a defender as Withey, his offensive post game already looks more polished coming out of high school than Withey's does now, and he has a smooth jumper.
KU
I'm confident that if Kansas could play with freshmen next year, they would still win the Big 12.
But Nadair Tharpe, a red-hot Perry Ellis and a developing Jamari Troll will be back, and next year's team looks just as poised as ever to cut down the nets.
Bill Self's recruiting lapses a few years
ago were, in my eyes, just big overreactions from a pretty spoiled fan base. And if he really did struggle, those years now look like an anomaly.
The beauty of it is that, unlike Kentucky and Jon Calipari, Kansas is mopping up on the recruiting trail without the fear of NCAA knocking at its door. Sanctions are imminent in Lexington, while Bill Self is safely nestled in a 10-year contract.
Kansas has won nine straight conference championships, and this year seemed like as good a year as any to dethrone them for another Big 12 team. The window of this opportunity has been closing on other teams, and if Kansas signs Andrew Wiggins, that window could be closed for good.

Jayhawks fight inclement weather, several injuries in weekend losses
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
Kansas baseball battled frigid weather alongside frigid run production in this weekend's threegame series against Brigham Young University.
The Jayhawks lost Saturday's game 6-3 at Larry Miller Park in Provo, Utah. The Jayhawks left six men on base in the final three innings while Wes Benjamin pitched five innings giving up eight hits and five runs, two of which were earned.
"We got down very early in the game and with the conditions it was a tough day to play and a tough day to hit," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "I compliment their guys he pitched really good in the elements. We found a way to get behind, had opportunities to score but we left a ton of runners on base."
The jayhawks strung together three runs in the sixth and seventh innings, but couldn't bring runners home to tie the game late.
Kansas continues to fight injury with senior first baseman Alex DeLeon out this weekend with a sore hamstring, junior outfielder Tucker Tharp out with a pulled
hamstring in last Wednesday night's game, and sophomore outfielder Connor McKay playing with a tweaked hamstring.

have to get some guys healthy and get everybody back on the field to get those impact players back on the field offensively."
Senior shortstop Kevin Kuntz returned to the lineup after sitting two weeks with an ankle injury.

defensively, as he committed only one error while fielding at a 98 percent clip.
"He makes us a lot better defensively when he can get on the field," Price said. "It's
just really good to see his return, but of course now we need to get the other guys healthy too."
The Kansas bullpen showed its strength in Saturday's game when junior right-handed pitcher Jordan Piche' entered the game retiring eight straight batters with two strikeouts.
"He's been good all year," Price said. "He's been one of the best
in the country and was obviously thrilled with his performance once again today."
Piche' entered the game down six runs with the bases loaded, a situation that would cause most relieving pitchers to cringe. Piche' keeps the game simple.
"My goal was to just knock that first guy out, take it inning by inning and put up as many zeroes as possible." Piche' said.
Piche' approach starts long before his first pitch when he watches hitters' tendencies throughout the game.
"I like to watch the hitters and see what they do on different pitches to just see how they work," Piche' said. "Then when I come in I can work them from what I've seen before."
The Jayhawks fall to 14-8 for the season after this weekend's series. They take on Missouri State in Springfield, Mo., at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Florida Gulf Coast's Dajuan Graf, from left, Eddie Murray and Brett Comer celebrate after winning a third-round game against San Diego State in the NCAA college basketball tournament, Sunday. Florida Gulf Coast won 81-71.
No.15 seed moves to next round
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA  — Florida Gulf Coast went from shocking the college basketball world to downright impressing it. And the Eagles were smiling the whole time.
Playing loose and easy, little-known FCGU beat San Diego State 81-71 on Sunday to ! come the first 10. No seed to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
"We don't take ourselves too seriously," said Florida Gulf Coast coach Andy Enfield, whose players missed him in the air and poured water on him in raucous celebration before his postgame interviews. "We try to have fun, get serious when we have to.
"Our goal was to make history and we did it."
The next opponent for the
upstart state school will be the main campus, third-seeded Florida, on Friday night in the South Regional semifinal in Dallas.
"We tried to scrimmage them early in the season in the pre-season," Enfield said. "Now we get our shot."
Bernard Thompson had 23 points and Sherwood Brown added 17 for FGCU, the 16-year school in just its second season being eligible for postseason play.
In its first-ever NCAA tournament game on Friday, the Atlantic Sun champion busted brackets everywhere with an upset win over No. 2 Georgetown, a game the Eagles took control of with a 21-2 run in the second half.
It went much the same way against San Diego State.
Brown, who was saddled early in the second half with foul trouble, had eight of the first 10 points of it. When it was over the Eagles led 71-52 with 4:19 to play and the only decisions left were how the players and fans were going to celebrate.
This time the run was 17-0 and
Even when the game was tight, he and his teammates looked they were glad to be on the court. The Eagles waved their arms and played along with a lively crowd that came to see an upset. There were big smiles and high-fives.
Brown stuck out his tongue after every big basket, often in the direction of the hundreds of Eagles fans jammed into one section.
In short, they showed a kind of joy that's often missing from high stakes, high drama games in March.

Disappointing first day finish leads to tournament loss

Kansas golf coach Jamie Bermel has made it clear that Kansas goes to every tournament intending to win. But when the team finished in 15th place on the first day of this weekend's Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Ariz., it didn't exactly help the team's chances.

field of 16 teams after the first 18 holes of the 54-hole tournament, but unlike their previous two tournaments of the 2013 season, Kansas would move up the leaderboard. Kansas was the biggest mover on the second day of the tournament behind Stan Gautier's career best round of 67 (-4), putting the Jayhawks in eleventh place. Kansas would move up again after the final 18 on Saturday, but poor finishes from Stan Gautier, Chris Gilbert, and Alex Gutesha limited the team's ascension.

top 30. However, one of those four, Bryce Brown, competed in the tournament as an individual, making Brown's rounds ineligible for the team's tournament score. Bermel has played with multiple lineups throughout the season and is still searching for the right fit.
"We just need to find some consistency at the four and five," Bermel said. "We need to start settling in on a lineup and see if we can get some continuity and consistency."
Though different faces have occupied the fourth and fifth spots in each tournament of the
spring season, Bermel has found a consistent top three in Gautier, Gilbert, and Gutesha, who have solidified their spots on the ever-changing lineup.
"The top three guys are playing pretty solid," Bermel said. "The three lead in different ways. It's three different personalities, but all three are doing a nice job."
Bermel said Gautier leads with work ethic, Gilbert with results, and Gutesha with a combination of the two. The three have been an essential part of a team desperate for consistency, and have carried Kansas throughout 2013. Still, shaving strokes elsewhere is currently the team's priority.
"It's the old cliche: if you can just find one more stroke every round it would be huge," Bermel said. "That's what we are looking for now. How do we do one thing better, and if everyone could us one stroke each round it would be huge for the team score."
The Jayhawks have another two-week break before their next tournament, the Irish Creek Collegiate, on April 6-7 in Charlotte. The team has two events left before the Big 12 Championships on April 22.

In this presentation, social justice advocate Sandra Fluke will discuss her notable experience in 2012 before a House panel, in which she passionately testified on the need to provide access to contraception. She discusses how even though she was raked over the coals by conservative political commentators, rather than respond in kind, she transformed the media focus into an opportunity to advocate for important social justice concerns for women. Her inspiring talk is nothing short of a call to audience members to make their own voices heard and create social change and legislative action on issues that are important to them.

Kansas City, Mo. — History tends to repeat itself.
Not all the time, but with the Kansas' coaching staff it's a good bet.
More than anything, Kansas coach Bill Self relies on his four seniors, and that's exactly what the team needed at the Sprint Center on Sunday.
Still it took a bau first half of basketball and a halftime pep talk for Self to get his players in the right direction.
"I don't think we demonstrated experience much during the first half" Self said. "
Carolina 70-58 for the third time in five years.
After struggling to find his place early the first half, Withey was right at home in the Sprint Center blocking shots and slamming buckets.
But Withey said his six turnovers in the first half were his one flaw in the game.
Second half, seemed like we communicated more, more energy. We came in the game ready to blaw."
"A lot of that was just throwing it right to the defender," Withey said. "But second half, we kind of got

"My confidence is there, but I just got to get back in the gym and shoot more and get ready."
BEN MCLEMORE freshman guard
More than anything right now Withey feels comfortable in his element. He's seizing the moment just
like so many of his teammates.
Senior forward Kevin Young die not have his best night, but his 10 points and nine rebounds helped propel Kansas to victory.
Young said his and Withey's teamwork contributed more to the win than anything.
"Most of the time we know where
each other are on the court and we know what we do." Young said. "Our adjustments show between me and Jeff because he gets easy buckets when I touch the ball. I love passing it to him. We always argue who gets more assists."
The other star of the night was senior forward Travis Releford, who put on a show for a hometown crowd. His 22 points made Sunday's game his third 20-plus point game at the Sprint Center this season.
Sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe stepped up and hit some pivotal 3-pointers in the second half to propel the Jayhawks to their 30th Sweet Sixteen in program history and sixth under Bill Self.
What helped more than anything was Young's passing ability to find Tharpe during open looks.
"He's so steady and he's a rock," Self said. "The other thing I think that's nice about Travis, he doesn't get tired. He can play all day. I thought that was a big key for us late."
really started playing together."
Ben McLemore struggled through Sunday's game and spent most of the second half on the bench because he wasn't clicking with the flow of the offense. McLemore finished the game 0-for-9 with two points, both free throws.
"My confidence is there, but I just got to get back in the gym and shoot more and get ready." McLemore said.
Despite their highly touted play er not living up to expectations, the Jayhawks did not need him.
They have four seniors leading this team, and it starts with the lethal combination that Self and Withey will bring to the table in Dallas.
The team will not have the advantage of playing so close to home, but Self and the team used it this week to move onto the next level in the bracket.
As Self said, "The big advantage we had was that we were playing in Kansas City."

COMMENTARY Withey fulfills his promise
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
Something felt strangely right about Jeff Withey's performance against North Carolina.
This is the Withey that promised Kansas coach Bill Self that he wouldn't be a failure upon arriving in Lawrence.
This is the comfortable Withe, the natural Withe, and perhaps the easiest to spot, the hungry Withe.
This Withey is an offensive monster that's every bit as graceful as his defensive counterpart.
And the Tar Heels were the latest to discover him as that monster who produced 16 points with an equal amount of rebounds to go with six blocks, while UNC hit just 22 of its 73 (30.1 percent).
kansan.com
But don't be mistaken: This is not merely a phenomenal performance from Withey. This is the new normal.
"Withey does a great job protecting the rim," said North Carolina's Marcus Paige. "Our shooters never had a chance to get into rhythm."
Maybe it is the hunger.
That pain to achieve what the jayhawks missed out on a year ago. But when Withey puts everything together this Kansas team clicks — it just took him a while to work up an appetite for ram.
"The first half we made some bonehead plays." Withey said. "Especially me. I had six turn-overs myself."
Fortunately, Withey's play thereafter would make up for it
When Kansas was just starting to mount its comeback from a 10-point deficit, it was Withey's four defensive rebounds that saved possessions for the Jayhawks. And when Kansas took its first lead midway through the first, it was Withey scoring the layup.
"We kind of got a better feel for them," Withey said. "We knew they were trying to gamble and trying to steal the ball every time. So we just played to that."
That feeling was different for Kansas fans. Once Withey had the ball, there was more of a sense of safety.
In Kansas' five games since the start of the Big 12 tournament, Withey has scored 14.6 points per game — shooting 66 percent — while maintaining his season average of 8.3 rebounds. Not to mention his 17 blocks in that span of time.
Sometimes that makes it hard to remember that Withey was once a seven-foot scrub that couldn't find playing time. That Withey was a gawky freshman who was afraid of the ball, the kid who was repeatedly questioned about how much he actually liked playing this sport.
You didn't think Withey could be described as a safety net then, or even two years ago.
Which goes back to that feeling. The one that felt strangely right when Withey and the Jayhawks started playing at their best. When Withey attacked the rim with as much ferocity as when he defends it.
It feels like a promise fulfilled.

Kansas steamrolls North Carolina in second half to advance to Sweet Sixteen
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There were no rousing halftime speeches. No venom spewed from his mouth, nor did he express disbelief at his team's miserable 25 percent shooting in the first half.
Instead, Bill Self told his team to talk among themselves at halftime and walked out of the locker room.
When he was gone, the one senior from Kansas City, Travis Releford, took over. He told the team if they didn't play better, they had 20 minutes left in their season. And Releford had no intention of losing his final collegiate game in his hometown, which currently stood at 30-21 in favor of North Carolina.
"Definitely was personal for me," Releford said. "We can go out there and leave it all on the court or we can let them roll over us like they did the first half."
Kansas didn't roll over. Releford and the three other jayhawk seniors made sure their second half performance bought them another 40 minutes, dispatching North Carolina 70-58 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen in Dallas, where the Jayhawks will face No. 4-seed Michigan.
First, senior center Jeff Withey blocked a layup 20 seconds into the half. He scored on the ensuing offensive possession after Kansas grabbed two offensive rebounds. The next trip down the court, Releford made the team's first 3-pointer of the NCAA Tournament, whittling North Carolina's lead to four points. Withey followed with one一hand dunk from the middle of the lane after his defender moved out of the way. Later, senior guard Elijah Johnson buried a 3-pointer, tying the
game at 35. Except, really it wasn't.
Not even five minutes had elapsed in the half and already Kansas had deflated the Tor Heels.
"You could tell with our fans giving us that confidence and we keep on feeding off of it, you can tell that they started to kind of fall back on their heels more," sophomore guard Naadir Tharp said.
He drove into the lane, but instead of challenging his defender, he slipped a behind-the-back pass to Releford who dropped it in for a 47-38 lead and drew the foul. As the horn sounded to signal a television timeout, Johnson ran over to a section of Kansas fans near the corner of the floor, failed his arm and screamed "Let's go!"
Kansas spent the first 11 minutes of the second half on an extended 33-10 run behind 22 points from Withey and Releford, so it's hard to pick out the best moment during that stretch. But one of the prime candidates came midway through the first half after Tharpe procured a steal.
The Jayhawks are going. Go to Dallas and going to the Sweet 16. Really, it will be the Jayhawks' first neutral site game of the postseason. After spending both the Big 12 Tournament and the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament at the Sprint Center, the Kansas City arena started to feel like an extension of Allen Fieldhouse.
"We got the crowd into it so it was like a home game for us," Releford said. "It sounded just like Allen Fieldhouse almost, minus the student section. It was loud."
It was really the first time the Kansas faithful had a strong reason to cheer all weekend.
Kansas shot 5-8 from 3-point range in the second half after not
making a single 3-pointer in the first three halves of the tournament. Tharpe went 3-4 from 3-point range and four jayhaws scored in double figures led by Releford's 22 points on 9-13 shooting.
"When Naadir came in we were a better team," Self said. "It allowed Elijah to bump off and guard. They play two point guards a lot. We are able to play them with two point guards as opposed to a 3-man and a point."
After combining to commit seven first-half turnovers, center Jeff Withey and forward Kevin Young committed just four in the second half, allowing them to be more productive in the low post on offense.
The Tar Heels, however, struggled to score throughout the game. Their only big man, James Michael McAdoo, kept having his shots swatted by Withey, who finished with 16 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks.
Outside shooting didn't go much better, either, as Kansas kept Carolina to 3-10 shooting beyond the arc in the second half. Withey even rejected a Reggie Bullock 3-point attempt. His presence helped free the entire Kansas defense.
"It's a lot easier because we can pressure up because now we know if we get beat we've got Jeff behind us to block the shot or alternate the shot," Releford said. "With North Carolina, if they're not making shots, we saw this throughout the season, it's tough for them to win because they play small. If we just rebound and control the possession on offense then we got a great chance to win."

Apparel brand provides ethical wages and working conditions for employees
LEMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
In a campaign to raise awareness about workers' rights and factory conditions around the world, United Students Against Sweatshops has partnered with the KU Bookstore to introduce a new line of clothing to be available later in April.
Alta Gracia is a union-made apparel brand started in 2010 that is currently available at more than 450 college and university bookstores around the country. Based in a town in the Dominican Republic, Alta Gracia strives to provide
ethical wages and conditions for its workers while providing high-quality, affordable collegiate apparel.
After visiting the factory and living with an
Gragg
the brand's story. Gragg founded the KU chapter of United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) at the beginning of this semester.
In January, USAS contacted the KU Bookstore to discuss bringing Alta Gracia to KU. Gragg believes ordering the clothing is the first step in raising consumer awareness.
"Usually when you buy something, you don't know where it's made," she said. "Usually you know the country, but you don't know the story behind it. It's hard to realize that it's actually another human being on the other side of the world making your apparel, and a lot of times that's in really terrible conditions."
Alta Gracia carries a line of 13 products, including crew neck and V-neck shirts, a crew neck sweat-shirt and hoodies. Currently, there are no children, performance wear or pant-type products.
The price is slightly higher than similar merchandise, but the brand is designed to be budget-friendly for the variety of the bookstore
customers.
"If they're going to buy KU apparel anyway, purchasing KU apparel that is at a similar price point that has some kind of altruistic message that is providing a better life for a worker, it's a great opportunity to be able to support a cause," said Estella McCollum, director of the KU Bookstore.
"The key is growing demand and awareness that turn into sales," she said. "And it's key to make sure we're purchasing the appropriate amount at first without causing damage to Alta Gracia by requesting that it grow too quickly."
McCollum met with an Alta Gracia brand manager on March 8 to discuss the best strategy to order merchandise reasonably and responsibly to benefit both the brand and the bookstore.
To promote the Alta Gracia campaign and to raise awareness, the bookstore launched a Facebook page for the brand and is distributing flyers with discounts.
"We're really trying to put a face to the name of Alta Gracia for our
community, for our shopers, and allow them an opportunity to understand what Alta Gracia is and why they would want to support it." McCollum said.
By creating a coalition of other campus and community groups, USAS hopes to continue to address the larger issue of ending university affiliation with brands based in sweatshops.
"That's a first step to a larger issue of combating sweatshop factory conditions around the world," said Brian Sultana, a senior USAS
Sultana
member from Manhattan. "[Students] can put pressure on companies to stop perpetuating these abuses when workers are not paid."

Kansas House passes restrictive abortion bill
MATTHEW JOHNSON
mjohnson@kansan.com
The Kansas House passed an anti-abortion bill Wednesday that would prevent state funds from being used to promote or provide abortion services. The House also overwhelmingly rejected a proposed amendment that would have allowed exemptions for incest and rape victims.
House Bill 2253 was referred to the Senate Committee on Public Health and Welfare on Thursday. The committee made no changes and advanced it Friday.
A section of the bill states, "Except to the extent required by federal law: No moneys appropriated from the state general fund or from any special revenue fund shall be expended for any abortion." This includes tax credits, tax deductions on sales to clinics that offer abortion services and health care services offered by any state agency.
The bill, which was approved 92-31 in the House, is now in the Senate, which vowed to "consider the bill quickly." A similar bill was rejected by the Senate in May 2012 because of a provision that affected the KU School of Medicine's ability to accredit OB/GYN students.
The bill also prohibits public schools from providing abortion services or allowing "an employee, agent or volunteer of an abortion services provider" to speak to students about sexuality or distribute materials about sexuality.
Amanda Schulze, president of the University chapter of the Commission on the Status of Women, a student organization that works toward social and political equality, and student correspondent for Choice USA, explained how she thinks this bill might affect University students.
"If a student is working for an organization—such as Planned Parenthood—that either provides abortions or is affiliated with an organization that provides abortions, he or she won't be allowed to volunteer at public schools," Schulze said.
Along with provisions that disallow abortion providers from receiving tax exemptions, the bill also prevents women from claiming tax deductions for the medical expenses incurred by having an abortion.
"Instead of making the abortion illegal, they're trying to destroy the institutions financially so it's not even feasible to offer abortions," Schulze said. "The bill also creates
a 'personhood' trigger, so if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would make all abortions in Kansas illegal."
The bill requires abortion clinics to provide controversial information to the pregnant woman about the medical risks associated with each procedure, including "risk of premature birth in future pregnancies, risk of breast cancer, risks to the woman's reproductive health and the medical risks associated with carrying an unborn child to term." According to the National Cancer Institute, early studies examining the link between abortions and breast cancer were "flawed in a number of ways" and provided inconsistent results. Newer studies have consistently shown that there is no correlation between abortions and increased risk of breast cancer
The bill also requires doctors to provide information describing abortion procedures and the characteristics of the fetus at "two-week gestational increments from fertilization to full term."
"Nobody wants to be lied to by their doctors," Schulze said of the requirement. "The information doctors are forced to provide is being determined by policy makers and not by medical professionals."

About the bill
The 72-page anti-abortion bill was passed by a 92-31 vote in the Kansas House.
It prevents abortion providers from being tax exempt.
It prohibits women from claiming tax deductions for medical expenses incurred by having an abortion.
It disallows anyone who's affiliated with an abortion provider from speaking to public school students about sexuality.
If passed, doctors would be required to share information with patients, such as the increased chance of breast cancer after receiving an abortion.
More info about Kansas' abortion laws
Kansas has imposed stricter regulations on late-term abortions over the past two years.
Arkansas recently passed a similar bill, but it included an exception for incidences of rape and incest. The Kansas bill currently does not.
Kansas already bans most abortions starting in the 22nd week of pregnancy.

Law students at the University are not concerned about finding a job upon graduation, despite reports of a tight job market by The New York Times.

For next year's incoming law school class, the School of Law plans to reduce the size to 120, compared to this year's 141 first-year students, said Steven Freedman, the School of Law's assistant dean for admissions.
"The lower class size is a reflection of the legal market." Freedman said. "That's one way we are helping our students in the job market; by graduating fewer students."
This high rate of job placement is why Aubrey Wilson, a second-

it came to my career choices down the road," Wilson said.
Before taking out student debt to attend a seemingly prestigious law school, Preston Nicholson, pre-law advisor for the University, always encourages students to first consider what they plan to do with their law degree. And with low student applications, Nicholson said admission to law school is a buver's market.
"You can go to law school today easily without taking out debt," Nicholson said.
As for selecting schools based on the rankings by US News and World Report, Nicholson said students should instead consider the programs' strengths, geography and overall cost.
Tyler Childress, a junior from Coffeeville, took these factors into consideration as he applied to attend law schools next fall at Northwestern University, University of Chicago, NYU and a few others.
"If the job market in the law

Veteran amputee participates in war training videos
MA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this Monday, Dec. 10, 2012, photo, actors playing the roles of U.S. military personnel are wounded by a improvised explosive device during a training session at Strategic Operations where "reality based training" is used in working with U.S. military personnel in San Diego.
SAN DIEGO — The sailor had been back from war for just over a year when friends invited him to watch an unusually emotional training exercise for troops preparing to deploy.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The drill happened not on a military base but at a film studio, where Marine and Navy medics role-played wartime rescue missions with actors who had, in reallife, lost limbs in motorcycle or car accidents or to ailments such as cancer.
Those on hand weren't sure how Joel Booth would react. The 24-year-old had been attached to a Marine battalion in Afghanistan as a naval combat medic — until he stepped on an explosive and doctors, two years ago, amputated his right leg below the knee. Since returning home hed had to learn to adapt while also coping with the post-traumatic stress.
But Booth was transfixed as fake bombs exploded and medics practiced the type of rescue missionshed once been on,saving the amputee actors—as he, in the end,had to be saved.
Then the young veteran did something unexpected: He asked for an audition.
Perhaps, he thought, this injury that had forever altered his life could help save someone else's. What he didn't know was how
much reliving the horrors of war would help him, too.
"In society, amputees are seen by people on a large scale as having a disability, being weaker. But
"It's the same thing for me. I'm not afraid of it just because something bad happened. For people who haven't been in combat, it's hard to understand."
... even someone who doesn't have a hand can still operate a weapon to be able to defend themselves," he said.
Producer Stu Segall, best known for the TV show "Silk Stalkings," started Strategic Operations more than a decade ago to offer the military what it calls "hyper-realistic" training by using movie-making special effects and actors.
The group has since trained hundreds of thousands of troops in recreated scenes from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and other hot spots. The creators strive to make the re-enactments as jarring as possible so troops experience war first in a controlled environment, and learn not to be rattled by it.
Marine 2nd Lt. Duane Blank, a commander who has gone through similar training, said amputee actors add a degree of realism that no one else can.
"The visual effect is invaluable because it's something you don't encounter every day," said Blank, an Iraq war veteran. "There is no
Since the inception of Strategic Operations, the group's founders had made a concerted effort not to use veterans who lost limbs in combat.
way to recreate that aspect of real combat, seeing a brother hurt in that sort of way"
"We felt it was one of those things. Why would you ask somebody who has gone through this experience to relive it? And we had plenty of amputee actors," said executive vice president Kit Lavell.
Lavell flew 243 missions in Vietnam as a naval aviator. He knows how hearing screams and explosions — even on a studio lot in San Diego — can quickly bring back the stress of battle for even the most hardened soldiers.
But Booth convinced Lavell to
He calmly told the Marine
Booth first joined the Navy, at the age of 21, because he wanted to see combat and help save lives. The job of corpsman was perfect for him; as field medics in charge of providing emergency care to battleground troops, corpsmen often are caught in the thick of the action.
let him join the group.
Almost a year after enlisting, he was deployed with the Marines to the Taliban stronghold of Sangin, Afghanistan. On July 21, 2011, while out on patrol, he and a Marine volunteered to return to base to get supplies. As they were walking, an explosion catapulted Booth onto his back.
"He was so well-prepared as a corpsman," Lavell said. "We felt: He's the perfect one to do this."

Two days later he was back in the U.S., where he underwent surgery after surgery. But Booth didn't want to be a patient. Frustrated with each failed operation and a growing infection, he pushed his doctors to amputate.
to check behind them for more IEDs. Then he looked down at his leg. There was no blood but the pain was excruciating and Booth couldn't stand up. His ankle bones had been crushed.
As a medic, Booth knew what his life would be like without a limb, and he wasn't afraid. He had seen fellow service members adapt relatively quickly to using a prosthetic. He figured he could return quickly to an active lifestyle, doing the things he enjoyed, like riding motorcycles.

Required donation results in lawsuit for Met
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Before visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art can stroll past the Picassos, Renoirs, Rembrandts and other priceless works, they must first deal with the ticket line, the posted $25 adult admission and the meaning of the word in smaller type just beneath it: "recommended."
GREAT BRITAIN PUBLIC MUSEUM
Many people, especially foreign tourists, don't see it, don't understand it or don't question it. If they ask, they are told the fee is merely a suggested donation: You can pay what you wish, but you must pay something

Confusion over what's required to enter one of the world's great museums, which draws more than 6 million visitors a year, is at the heart of a class-action lawsuit this month accusing the Met of scheming to de-
years, though some who choose to pay less than the full price pull out a $10 or $5 bill. Some fork over a buck or loose change. Those who balk at paying anything at all are told they won't be allowed in unless they pay something, even a penny.
"I just asked for one adult general admissions and he just said, '$25," says Richard Johns, a high school math teacher from Little Rock, Ark., who paid the full price at the museum this past week. "It should be made clear that it is a donation you are required to make. Especially for foreign tourists who don't understand. Most people

"The museum was designed to be open to everyone, without
Among the allegations are that third-party websites do not mention the recommended fee, and that the museum sells memberships that carry the benefit of free admission,
even though the public is already entitled to free admission.
New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs agreed to the museum's request in 1970 for a general admission as long as the amount was left up to individuals and that the signage reflected that. Similar arrangements are in place for other cultural institutions that operate on city-owned land and property and receive support from the city, such as the American Museum of Natural History and the Brooklyn Museum. It's also a model that's been replicated in other cities.
A random sampling of visitors leaving the museum found that there was a general awareness that "recommended" imputed you could pay less than the posted price.

In this Oct. 1, 2012 photo provided by the U.S. Air Force, a U.S. Army carry team transfers the remains of Army Sgt. Donna R. Johnson of Raeford, N.C., at Dover Air Force Base, Del. Johnson was assigned to the 514th Military Police Company, 60th Troop Command, Winterville, N.C. When Johnson was killed in Afghanistan, her wife, North Carolina National Guardwoman Tracy Dice Johnson, heard about it from her sister-in-law.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Same-sex couples denied survivor benefits
The death certificate read "single," even though the fallen soldier was married.
When it came time to inform the next of kin, casualty officers did not go to the widow's door in North Carolina, nor did she receive the flag that draped the casket of her beloved, a 29-year-old National Guard member killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan.
Because federal law defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman, the military did not recognize the relationship of Army Sgt. Donna R. Johnson and Tracy Dice Johnson at all, rendering Johnson ineligible for the most basic survivor benefits, from return of the wedding ring recovered from the body to a monthly indemnity payment of $1,215.
"You cannot imagine the pain, to actually be shut out," said Dice Johnson, an Army staff sergeant who survived five bomb explosions during a 15-month tour in Iraq. "Not only is one of their soldiers being disrespected. Two of them are being disrespected."
As the Supreme Court prepares to consider the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, gay marriage advocates are focusing attention on the way they say the law dishonors gay service members and their spouses, who are denied survivor payments, plots in veterans' cemeteries, base housing and a host of other benefits that have been available to opposite-sex military couples for generations.
If the high court strikes down the DOMA, the ruling could bring sweeping changes to the way the military treats widows and widowers such as Dice Johnson, the first person to lose a same-sex spouse to war since "don't ask, don't tell" was lifted in 2011.
Although they can now serve openly, gay and lesbian service
members "are anything but equal, and it's the DOMA that is really what's standing in the way", said Allyson Robinson, a West Point graduate who serves as executive director of OutServe-SLDN, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender service members and veterans that filed a brief urging the court to strike down the law.
Chapman Alliance for Religious Liberty, an association of faith groups that screen chaplains for military service. It has asked justices to uphold the DOMA on the grounds that pastors and service members from religions that oppose homosexuality would find their voices silenced and their opportunities for advancement limited.
On the other side stands the
Retired Col. Ron Crews, the group's executive director, said Congress could find ways to honor war widows such as Dice Johnson without striking down the DOMA, which he said had served as "a wall" protecting military personnel with strong religious beliefs since the ban on openly gay service members was eliminated.
"The military has no tolerance for racists, so service members who are openly racist are not service members for long," the alliance's brief states. "And if the traditional religious views on marriage and family become the constitutional equivalent of racism, the many service members whose traditional religious beliefs shape their lives will be forced out of the military."
tain benefits not precluded by the DOMA, including ID cards giving them access to on-base services and visitation rights at military hospitals. Some of those measures would have eased Dice Johnson's grief, if they had been in place earlier.

highest-ranking officer ever elected to Congress, said such inequities have implications for national security. Many financial protections and support services are offered to military families not just out of gratitude, but so service members can focus on their jobs during dangerous deployments, Sestak said.
"When you step back and all of a sudden realize that a law would actually prevent, today, the spouse of somebody in our military (being) notified first that that solider or that sailor has been harmed or killed ... you sit back there and say, 'What's going on?' he said.
Dice Johnson does not fault the Army. From the casualty officer to National Guard commanders, everyone did "the best they could." she said. In some instances, she was even surprised at her support. The condolence letter she received from President Barack Obama acknowledged Johnson as her wife.
"My biggest thing, honestly, is to get her death certificate changed to married," she said. "That will be my victory."

Officials bust local dog-fighting ring
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Federal authorities in Kansas said Monday that they broke up a dogfighting operation that included training pit bulls to fight in Kansas, Missouri and Texas by chaining the dogs to treadmills for hours at a time and using live chickens as bait.
Pete Davis Jr. and Melvin L. Robinson were charged in a federal complaint in the U.S. District Court for Kansas with one count of transporting animals for participation in an animal fighting venture in interstate commerce, according to a federal complaint unsealed Monday. The charge carries up to five years in federal prison and a possible fine of up to $250,000.
The criminal complaint and other online court records did not list lawyers or hometowns for either defendant. Attempts to reach Davis and Robinson at phone listings under their names in Kansas were not successful Monday.
Jim Cross, spokesman for Kansas' U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom, declined to comment on the case Monday. Grissom has a news conference scheduled for later Monday about a "significant criminal investigation" that involves the FBI and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Cross would not say if the charges against Davis and Robinson were the subject of that news conference.
The ASPCA, which said it removed nearly 100 dogs involved in the investigation, also helped law enforcement with a major dogfighting investigation in 2009 that led to charges against about two dozen people and the rescue of more than 400 dogs in Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Mississippi.
Tim Rickey, vice president of the ASPCA, said dogfighting remains a major problem.
"The situation has not changed," he said Monday. "We do not feel like there has been any decline in animal fights.
There is better awareness, but there continues to be a lack of enforcement because they're very difficult to investigate."
Dogfighting, a federal felony, has come under renewed scrutiny since NFL star Michael Vick was convicted and served prison time for running a dogfighting ring. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has been working with the Humane Society of the United States to stop organized animal fighting.
In the complaint unsealed Monday in Kansas, an FBI special agent said two sources approached a Missouri law enforcement officer and the FBI about Davis "and his dog fighting ring." According to the complaint, Davis and Robinson owned the dogs, most of which were pit bulls, and trained them for weekly dogfights in Harrison County, Mo., and fights in April in the Kansas City area and Dallas.
Robinson used a home in Kansas City, Kan., as a training site for the dogs, who were chained to treadmills for "several hours at a time," the complaint said one of the sources told the FBI. The dogs also had weights on "to strengthen it," and "caged live chickens were placed in front of each treadmill as 'bait'," the complaint said.
The complaint told the bodies of three dead dogs were found on the farm the men used in Harrison County — two by one of the FBI informants and one by a Missouri law enforcement officer.
Davis and Robinson discussed betting $20,000 to $30,000 on the dog they were training for the Dallas fight, the complaint said.
The FBI paid one of the sources $1,900 and the other source $100, according to the complaint. One of the sources had no previous convictions, but the other had prior convictions, including for felony theft and transportation of a woman for prostitution.

Let me go all Grandpa Barbosa on you and remind you, as if you need it, that things are a lot different now thanks to technology. You've heard it before, the same oldatribe about how we don't truly communicate with each other or how you can't really get a message across through texts and tweets and Snapchats and so on. Some argue that emoticons and Emojis can suffice, but as you know, some people are stupid, too.
Our methods of communication have gradually evolved with technology. Texting in caps lock implies you're yelling, responding with "K." means you're peeed, etc., etc.
Now, there's a clear-cut way to
indicate your passive aggression on Twitter. It's called subliminal tweeting — or "subtweeting."
This innovation is a godsend for overly-emotional and-expressive yet-till too-scared-to-be confrontational types. At first, the protocol for subtweeting required you to end your message with the hashtag, "#subtweet," inviting everyone to immediately begin speculating as to who you're complaining about.
We're at the tail end of break-up season, and when relationships go awry, that's when you see the most subtweets. You know the scene in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" when Jason Segel's character gets a room adjacent to his ex girlfriend and he starts having really loud, fake sex with Mila Kunis to make her jealous? Yeah, that's kind of like the real-life equivalent of subtweeting.
but here's what many fail to realize: people friggin' hate sub-tweets. We're not celebrities; most of us only have 300-400 followers, and most of those are our real-life

friends and acquaintances. You personally know most of the people who show up on your time line — you know their friends, you know who they're dating, you know what they're doing in life. Most people go into some kind of shell shocked tunnel vision after their relationships fall apart and become focused on either getting under their ex's skin or hiding behind that "I'm doing fine without you" facade.
Things get especially awkward when two people break up and start subtweeting about each other, and you're friends with both of them. When two of my friends break up, I always try to avoid choosing a side because
that almost always makes things weird. Weird is bad. I'm not the one who just went through a messy break-up: I have no interest in listening to you trash talk each other or fight over who did, or didn't do, what. But, when I get home on a Saturday night and start reading your sloppy, drunken subtweets, it's as if I'm stuck in a room while you're fighting with your ex. That makes things weird, and again, weird is bad.
Even though the fundamental allure of Twitter is the ability to tell people what you're doing, there are still some things that no one cares about nor wants to hear you share. For me, oversharing is one of the things that killed my appreciation of Facebook: Too many people started posting too many things that were too personal, and frankly, too weird. If subtweetting gets more popular, there's a good chance it'll end up killing off everyone's appreciation for Twitter, too. With subtweeting, the feigned ambiguity isn't the problem — everyone knows
who you're talking about. The problem is that you're dragging your friends and followers into a weird situation that they probably want nothing to do with. When that becomes a habit, your friendships will start breaking up, too.
So please, cut it out. If not, people will get sick of you, and they'll start subtweeting. And then their friends will start subtweeting about them, and the cycle will begin forever churning on until everyone on Twitter is subtweetening, and no one wants that.
And yes, I know that this was a column complaining about certain people whom I didn't explicitly name, just like a subtweet.
But hey, people can't understand unless you speak their language.

Actors' personalities are the real reason we tune in
As a nerd who spends a majority of her time geeking over TV shows and fictional characters, I have my fair share of favorite actors. Some, I just love to look at. Jensen Ackles, anyone? Some I just want to marry. Benedict Cumberbatch, obviously. And others I just want to cry because they are so talented. Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't get an Oscar in the next decade, something is going to burn. But others, I just want to be best friends with. Here are a few of my favorite actors, based entirely off their fantastic personalities.
By Emily Brown
ebrown@kansan.com
MISHA COLLINS
I willingly admit to being a minion of "The Supreme Overlord," aka Misha Collins. Collins currently plays the angel Castiel on CW's "Supernatural," but he has also had recurring roles in "ER" and "24." But as talented as he is, it's his personality that makes him a special snowflake. His fast wit and bizarre (but hilarious) tweets made me fall in nerdy love.
He is, to put it simply, one of the most ridiculous human beings on this planet.
He built his house and most of the furniture inside, interned for Bill Clinton when he was in the White House, is a published writer, renewed his wedding vows in drag, calls his Twitter followers "minions" and founded the charity Random Acts, where he called upon his minions and raised $30,000 for earthquake
He really doesn't care what people think. He wears funny hats and occasionally dresses in drag. But most of all, he is humble, as his recent tweet illustrates: "I hope this question don't sound weird. When you're watching yourself on TV do u occasionally get off the sofa & make out with the screen?"
ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
If you don't know this man, I have no clue why you are reading this column. He has starred - and I mean starred - most recently in "Iron Man," "The Avengers" and "Sherlock Holmes."
He is an acting beast, and somewhere (probably his bathroom mirror), there is a long list of awards and honors from his decades-old acting career. Downey doesn't hope for awards; he expects them.
The man has swag — so much so that he often forgets who he is.
Tumblr users like to joke that they can no longer tell the difference between his character, Tony Stark, and the actor.
And they both know how to wear a suit.
They both have money, confidence, and arrogance aplenty.
While he is not the most humble of men, he does have a good sense of humor. His interviews are hilarious and keep you laughing. Tony Sta—I mean Robert Downey Jr., is the guy I'd party with.
TOM HIDDLESTON
A rising star, Tom Hiddleston is known for his recent roles in "The Avengers," "War Horse," "Thor," and "Midnight in Paris."
But to me, he is the epitome of a gentleman. He oozes humility and manners, but isn't afraid to have a good laugh.
I think I fell in love with him when I watched a video of him showing up on a red carpet with a thermos of hot tomato soup for a freezing interviewer whod tweeted him a few hours before.
He is just as painstakingly polite to his fans, which has earned him an army of fangirls and guys.
In January, he traveled to Guinea for a UNICEF UK fundraising trip. He met with families and children in need and wrote a numerous blogs on UNICEF's website about his trip. His twitter account is chock-full of UNICEF information, and it warms my heart to see a celebrity so passionate about a charitable cause.
His kind smiles and chipper English accent have earned him a spot in my heart for eternity.

RELATIONSHIPS
Childhood friends can last forever
UDK
Some of the best memories I have were made with my childhood friends. When I look back in my memories, the best ones were when I was much younger. I can still taste the chocolate cake with ice cream my friend's mom would make, the smell of the playground sand, the beauty of my Barbie house and the sound of the laughter I had with my friends in first grade after our teacher's wig moved to the side.
These moments, despite the years, have remained very fresh in my head. The person I have become is nowhere near the girl that made fights with Power Rangers and Barbies. Things have changed a lot. What has not changed is the feelings I have for those friends I made when I was a child. Those friends are the purest thing I have. They saw me when I was innocent and naive, and I saw them the same way.
Our discussions did not involve politics or basketball. The most debated discussions were about who the strongest Pokémon was and if indeed Santa Claus was or was not real. We did not show our friendship in Facebook wall posts or profile pictures, we showed our friendship by agreeing to share our candy or by inviting them over to our house. Things were decided on races to the park. Dares were made on tasting glue. Toys were shared and we tried our best to include everyone.
These were friends that really knew me. They saw me in my most real form. These friends came before the time we learned we had to be a certain way to please people, look a certain way to fit in. These friends saw me when I had no shame for the music I listened, no filter to the things I thought and complete confidence in who I was.
Today many of these friends are finishing college, working, some are even married. They live in different parts of the
By Patricia Siqueiros psiqueiros@kansan.com
world, and contact is mostly made by the nostalgic person that decides to post that kindergarten picture and tag everyone. Most have completely changed. Some gained weight, some became alternative and some became successful. A couple of few went on sad paths and one or two passed away.
All these friends go in different directions. With college and the maturing that comes with the years, it is difficult to keep these precious friends. Fortunately, I have managed to stay in touch with four of my childhood friends. We sometimes spend months without any contact whatsoever, but when we see each other, the friendship goes back where it was last time. Time and distance do not seem to make a difference.
It is important to keep at least a couple of these childhood friendships. These are people that saw you at your best and worst. These friends saw you go through different hair styles, fashion styles, crushes, bad and good grades, and the smile you had before you knew so much information.
- Keeping these friends is a way of keeping that piece of you. You can never really lie to these friends because they know you better than anyone, and when you forget about these moments, they are there to remind you. Even when you graduate and move on to a real adult life, do not forget about these friends or how they shaped you.

The Strokes' fifth album ends contract with RCA
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
Casablancas has surely pursued these lyrics in all aspects of his musical career, propelling The Strokes to reach more than a decade of acclaim and success. Since their start in 1998, members Nick Valensi (guitar), Albert Hammond, Jr. (guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums), in addition to Casablancas, have done their part to remain on the cutting edge of the industry. From reviving rock 'n' roll to spawning hipster fashion, they have strived to stand out from the rest.

"Either you're noticed or left out," sings The Strokes frontman Julian Casablanc in the song "I'll Try Anything Once."
Today, The Strokes continue to get noticed as they release their fifth studio album, "Comedown Machine." Considering the press hiatus the band has taken concerning the album, it has still managed to reach a high level of anticipation. With the completion of the album comes the completion of an era. This album signifies the end of the five-album contract the band had with its label, RCA Records.

The carefully chosen album cover pays homage to this fact. The label appears as the largest and most prominent text on the red background, above even the band and album name.
With the termination of the contract in mind, the future of the band remains unpleasantly uncertain.

Since its inception, the band has experienced its ups and downs. However, on this album, the members seem to have gotten it together - possibly to go out on a high note.
Perhaps the time to be noticed has come and gone, and now it's time to willingly walk away. The "Comedown Machine" may in fact be preparing for shutdown.

Think of your Facebook page as Stuart Smiley's mirror: It contains a lot of your core beliefs and preferences, and it puts your network of friends and family at your reach. In psychologist language, it can "satisfy fundamental ego needs regarding desired self-images."
Edited by Madison Schultz
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Viewing own Facebook profile reduces defensive response
A
You can't directly measure any Facebook bump in self-esteem or any bump generated other ways. But you can measure defensive behavior to criticism. It's been shown that the self-affirmation experiences similar to those spoofed by Stuart Smiley reduce defensive responses that are naturally elicited by ego threats.
SOCIAL MEDIA
At least, that's what yet another Facebook-based study has found.
That time you're spending on Facebook may not be wasted productivity, after all.
You may remember Stuart Smiley, the fey self-affirmation addict portrayed on "Saturday Night Live" by now-Sen. Al Franken. He stares in the mirror and declares, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and, dog gone it, people like me."
That's what Facebook does, according to a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
www.PeppertreeAptsKS.com
Psychologists have tested this repeatedly. Usually they ask a participant to list strongly held beliefs and write an essay about the top one. After that, the participant invariably reacts better to a blow against the ego. The essay acts as self-affirmation.
The participant who chooses to write about a lower-ranked value but about how others may think it's important generally is more defensive. The essay had no self-affirming effect.
Turns out, looking at your own Facebook page is the social network equivalent of that first essay. Looking at another person's page is the non-affirming experience.
Now the ruse. Participants were told they were there to evaluate a distance-learning public speaking course. Each was to write a short speech on the legality of abortion and deliver it to a camera, then get feedback and rate the feedback by various aspects. The trick: Participants wound up with the same negative feedback.
Catalina Toma, at the University of Wisconsin, and Jeffrey Hancock, at Cornell, study communication and social networks. They devised two experiments. In the first, some students got to look at their own Facebook page, while others looked at a stranger's page (it turned out to be another study participant's page). Some wrote the self-affirming essay, while others wrote the more neutral one.
Well, maybe more people prefer Facebook over the other activities, right? Researchers took that into account.
What happened? Results were as expected: less defensive response from people exposed to self-affirmation activity; more from those who did not get that experience. And it turned out that the proportion between those two responses was the same for those who wrote the essays as for those who viewed Facebook pages.
Facebook's rank among the activity choices (tested before the experiment) for those who got negative feedback was lower than the average rating of the other activities.
Why would any of this be important? Well, it gives experimenters a new tool to use instead of the essay, and there are about a billion people who use Facebook in any given month. That's a gigantic laboratory.
But would someone who gets a negative feedback actively seek solace in Facebook? The second experiment tested that. They used a similar cover story: testing a public speaking program. But this time feedback was randomly negative or neutral. After the feedback, participants were allowed to choose an activity: looking at their own Facebook page, watching YouTube videos, listening to online music, reading online news or playing online video games.
"Facebook has just as big an effect on self-esteem as traditional tools," Hancock said.
But Facebook might one day be part of therapies that use self-affirmation, such as programs to quit smoking or to change other habits.
After receiving neutral feedback, participants were equally likely to choose any of those activities. About 30 percent chose Facebook. But nearly twice as many chose Facebook after negative feedback.
"Anything you need to be stronger at, self-affirmation is good for you," Hancock said.

KANSAS 75. SOUTH CAROLINA 69
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND Seniors carry team to Sweet 16 Kansas 42|33-15
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
"Pure joy," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said with a perfectly simple way to describe the emotion for Kansas after a 75-69 victory over South Carolina in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
With 13.6 seconds remaining in the game and the Jayhawks leading the Gamecocks, 74-69, senior guard Angel Goodrich jumped into the passing lane of South Carolina guard leasia Walker's inbound pass from the half-court side line for a steal.
Goodrich was fouled immediately by Walker and emerged with a smile of delight. The play cemented the win for the Jayhawks after Goodrich made one of two free throws, earning Kansas the first No. 12 seed to advance to the Sweet 16 of an NCAA tournament since 1996, and only the second No. 12 seed ever to make it that far.
Kansas may have won without
that steal from the 5'4 inch point guard, but it was a symbolic way to finish the heroic effort by the trio of senior Jayhawks.
Guard Monica Engelman scored a career-high of 27 points. Engelman forced her way into the paint and made shots at the rim. She drained several of her signature mid-range jumpers. And she went 2-for-4 from behind the arc, where she has been on fire through the two Big 12 tournament games and two NCAA games for the Jay-hawks.
Engelman ended the first half with 18 points. She received help from Goodrich, who dished eight assists and scored 15 second-half points. With forwards Carolyn Davis and Chelsea Gardner in foul trouble, Goodrich was fouled as she launched a 3-point shot from
the left-wing and drained it. She went to the foul line and converted the four point play.
Forward Carolyn Davis battled through apparent pain after banging her left knee on her fourth foul of the game in the late stages. Davis fell to the ground with a grimace and grabbed the brace on her knee that had been surgically repaired a year ago.
Minutes later, with 3:50 left on the game clock, Davis returned to the game with four fouls.
At 2:28 with the score tied, 69-69. Davis caught the ball deep in the post and played while being fouled. Davis let out a yell of emotion. She would miss the free throw, but from that point, Kansas did not allow another South Carolina score.
Junior guards Cece Harper and Marksika Hawkins made their plays on defense to help extend the season. They each finished with two steals a piece, and Hawkins added a block. Gardner did her part on the boards, collecting 12 rebounds.
Kansas scored 75 points on the South Carolina defense that entered the game, allowing an average of 49 points per game this season (fifth in the nation). The Jayhawks played at the pace they wanted, scoring baskets in offensive transition and ending the first half with 42 points.
Before the game, the one clear advantage for Kansas was size in the post, but it was guards Goodrich and Engelman who provided the majority of the offensive production.
After the game, it appeared the one true advantage that Kansas had was the playmaking ability of seniors and drive to delay the end of the season.
Kansas will play the winner of the match-up between Notre Dame and Iowa on Tuesday night.

THE MORNING BREW A preview of the Sweet 16 tournament
It has certainly been a wild week of March Madness. The upsets and Cinderella have been unpredictable, but hey, it's March; anything can happen. With the Sweet 16 beginning on Thursday, there are some very intriguing matchups to watch.
NO. 13 LASALLEVS. NO. 9 WICHITA STATE
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
This is probably one of the most unpredictable matchups the tournament has seen in recent years, but don't underestimate the skill level of these teams. Wichita State has two good big men in Cleanthony Early and Carl Hall. The two forwards work well with together, and both have the ability to go off for a double-double on any given night.
LaSalle is becoming America's sweetheart because of its Cinderella status. It comes from a very good Atlantic 10 Conference, averages 72 points a game and defeated Butler and VCU earlier in the year. Although Wichita State is the
higher seed, I'd like to see the A-10 conference advance to the Elite 8.
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this game. Two extremely talented teams with rich traditions, PAC 12 vs. Big 10... What more could you ask for?
NO. 6 ARIZONA VS. NO. 2 OHIO STATE
To me, the keys to this game are going to be the matchups between Arizona guard Mark Lyons vs. Ohio State guard Aaron Craft and Arizona forward Solomon Hill vs. Ohio State forward
Deshawn Thomas. Craft is a great on-ball defender. Lyons penetrates well, but can also shoot the three, too. Both Hill and Thomas can do it all. They can post up, they can drive and they can shoot.
I love this Arizona team; however, there is a reason why the Big 10 is the best conference in nation. Ohio State will move on.
NO. 3 MARQUETTE VS. NO. 2 MIAMI
Miami has been a great story to follow this season, and Coach Jim Larranaga has done an exceptional job putting this program on the map again. This athletic team is exciting to watch and is led by a great group of seniors, mainly guard Shane Larkin. As for Marquette, you can never go wrong choosing a team coached by Buzz Williams to go this far...but that is about it. Williams has only been to the Elite Eight once, and that was in 2008 (he lost to Kansas). I think Miami has too many weapons on its side, as the hurricanes will storm to the next round.
KU
NO. 4 SYRACUSE VS. NO. 1 INDIANA
Wow. That is really all I have to say about this game. First, kudos to Hoosiers coach Tom Crean, who brought Indiana back as a national powerhouse, making the team relevant again.
Now, Syracuse's 2-3 zone is one of the most suffocating defenses in the country and is a nightmare for any player to face. However, the way you beat a zone is to rebound offensively and run a fast break, two things Indiana does as well as any other team in the country. The athleticism and balanced talent level of Indiana will be too much for Syracuse to handle. The Hoosier tradition will continue to the Elite 8.

COMMENTARY
Ye olde ode to March Madness
http://bit.ly/UWYgIh
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Beware the Ides of March For that's when the craving sets in And the fan develops a parch. Just thirsting for their team to win.
The journey has been wild,
Filled with victory and sorrow.
Leaving the fan base riled,
And anticipating tomorrow.
But as hopes begin soar
And fans start to believe,
They should not ignore
And start to be naive.
But as the tournament unfurls
And hopes begin to rise,
Fans' lust for pearls
Will soon be their demise.
KANSAS 75. SOUTH CAROLINA 69
As Western Kentucky dropped And North Carolina was nixed, It's impossible to stop The fan-wide hope for title six.
Oh yes, there is a chance,
For this team to play in April.
And continue to dance,
Making quite the thrill.
Yes, Lawrence could swoon In an incredible rush And it would be so soon From 2012's slush.
But it's not that simple, As Kansas fans know, The tournament can quickly turn a dimple Into a low.
Beware the Ides of March
This season may or may not be
the one
Like Bill has said, enjoy the ride
And just have some fun.

THE SWEET LIFE
Women's basketball welcomes a victory, advancing to the Sweet 16
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordvce@kansan.com
For just the second time in the NCAA women's bracket history, a 12th-seeded team reaches the Sweet 16.
The Kansas Jayhawks once again surprised the basketball world when they knocked off the No. 4 seeded South Carolina Gamecocks 75-69.
Kansas joined the 1996 San Francisco Lady Dons as the only No. 12 seeds to be among the final 16 teams in the country. No. 12 seeds are now 2-15 in the second round, thanks to the Jayhawks' victory. Even as the Jayhawks went down in the history books, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she had no idea what exactly the victory meant.
"We're just excited to win and have the chance to play again," Henrickson said. "As a coach, one of the most special things is just sit back and watch them – just pure joy in the locker room. Not that it doesn't mean anything, but I'm more of an in-the-moment kind of person. It means more to me that they look like they do in the locker room right now."
It was pondered whether or not the Jayhawks warranted an invite to the field of 64 when they began. Now, they have knocked off a No. 5 and a No. 4 seed on their way to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances and their fourth all-time appearance.
Kansas was fueled by senior guard Monica Engelman's career-high 27 points and an added 20 points and eight assists from senior guard Angel Goodrich to get past the rugged, defensive Gamecocks.
"She was hot," South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said of Engelman's career day. "When a player gets going like that, it's hard to stop."
Last year, the Jayhawks knocked off a No. 4. No. 3 seed on their way to first Sweet 16 appearance. Welcome deiu. va
Goodrich said playing in the Big 12 really helped the Jayhawks
elevate their game.
"It's a great league, and there are great teams—you have to come every night, ready to play," Goodrich said. "And I felt like last year, we had fun, and we enjoyed the experience, and I think this year, that helped us be more hungry. We wanted that experience again."
Kansas is now not only supporting the flag of the underdog, but wearing it on its chest.
Many expected the Jayhawks to falter against the "home" team in Colorado in round one, and once they defeated the Buffalooes, many expected the Jayhawks to falter against the Gamecocks.
But the will to win and to prove people wrong propelled the Jayhaws to one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history, at least tournament wise.
Helped by the senior guards, the Jayhawks were just the fifth team to post more than 60 points against the Gamecocks. What do those teams have in common? They all won, but none are bigger than the Jayhawks' victory to send them to Norfolk, Va.
"We wanted to catch them offbalance, catch them where they weren't ready and let them set up, because when they are set up they are really good." Goodrich said of beating the defensive-minded Gamecocks. "We just wanted to catch them off guard, get easy buckets and finish at the rim."
No one saw the Jyhawks advancing through the tournament, especially since they lost seven of their last 11 games of the regular season. But now, they come out of the Boulder region to move on to Norfolk to face either No. 1 Notre Dame or No. 9 Iowa next Sunday.
"These tournaments are all about 'surveive and advance', and these three seniors and the rest of the team, we were hungry, and we wanted to do everything possible, individually and collectively, to advance." Engelman said.

Offense picks up second half
GEOFFREY CALVERT

The shine returned to the Kansas offense during the second half of Sunday's game against North Carolina.
Transition dunks, 3-pointers on the secondary break and dominant post-play from their big men helped the Lyhawks outscore the Tor Heels 49-28 in the deciding half, including a 33-10 run during the half's first 11 minutes.
Senior guard Travis Releford paced Kansas with 22 points on 9-13 shooting, three steals and eight re-bounds.

Tharpe made three of his four 3-point attempts, including a stepback 3-pointer as the shot clock wound down with a little more than five minutes remaining in the game.
Despite hitting only a single
3-pointer and missing his other five attempts, senior guard Elijah Johnson delivered four assists and a steal against only one turnover.
He opened the second half against the Tar Heels with a chance to flush an alley-oop. But it looked like his chemistry with Johnson was slightly askew on the pass, and he had to lay the ball in instead of slam it through the net.
But one big name did very little against the Tar Heels — freshman guard Ben McLemore.
"He had a rough weekend," coach Bill Self said. "He's got to see the ball go in the hole. The thing about it is with kids and a freshman that's never experienced any of it, there's different pressures."
McLemore had opportunities to score against the North Carolina, but he just couldn't convert.
"He had some pretty good looks today, but it wasn't his day," Self said. "When we run the lob play for his the second half, uncontested, miss-times it or fumbles it. It wasn't his day. He knows that."
Except the shot missed
McLemore continued to seek
"My confidence is there," McLemore said. "As far as shooting these last couple games really haven't been my shooting night. I've just got to get back in the gym and shoot more."
McLemore also struggled against Western Kentucky on Friday night, but that wasn't as concerning as his offensive woes Sunday. Most of the Jayhawks' guards looked lethargic against the Hiltoppers.
his shot, getting nine attempts against North Carolina, including six 3-point attempts. However, he missed every single shot he took. He only played six minutes in the second half because his offense was struggling, and Tharpe found his groove offensively on his way to 12 points.
"I think it's exciting for our team to know that you can win a game like this and have your leading scorer not make a basket," Self said. "I don't think that will happen again."
McLemore, Johnson and Tharpe combined to shoot 3-14 Friday night, and Kansas failed to convert any of its six 3-point attempts. The Jayhawks' guards combined to score 14 points from the field.
McLemore said he is focusing on defense and believes his shot will start to fall soon. He said he isn't focused on trying to be the top scorer on the court, but instead wants to do the best job he can to help his team win.
Edited by Jordan Wisdom
While the Jayhawks will likely need McLemore to find his shot when Kansas faces Michigan on Friday at 6:37 p.m. with a spot in the Elite Eight on the line, Self said it's reassuring to know that his team can win a pressure-filled game when McLemore is invisible offensively.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Only Relefond, who finished with 11 points on 4-6 shooting, could create any sort of offensive efficiency. From the entire weekend, only
one play stood out for McLemore. On an inbounds play against the Hiltoppers underneath Kansas' basket, Johnson found McLemore for the alley-oop, giving Kansas a brief 14-12 lead.

The 5:30 a.m. alarm has been roaring for the past five minutes. Brianna Ryan finally comes to, and slams her hand on the cell phone to shut it off. She eases her way out of bed, and sluggishly shuffles toward her daughter's play pen. It's time to wake up Zoey and start the day.
Ryan, an incoming freshman from Huntington Beach, Calif. will be completing her college education at the University in the fall. Ryan is one of more than 11 million people in the United States who are single parents.
Ryan moved to Lawrence about six months ago because the cost of living in California was too expensive for her and her daughter. There was no way she could work a minimum wage job, pay for food, rent and all of Zoey's expenses, and go to school, or even save enough money to eventually go back to school.
Currently, Ryan is working at a warehouse and making a decent hourly wage — when she gets called in to work, that is — and is paying her own rent and food as well as taking care of her daughter.
But a warehouse job won't cut it for Ryan, and that is why she will be starting her college education in the fall.
"I decided to go back to school because I am not satisfied with giving my daughter the bare minimum," Ryan said.
Ryan will join the ranks of thousands of parents across the country who are raising a child while completing a college degree. A student who is a parent of a dependent child is what the University refers to as a "nontraditional student." Currently, nontraditional students make up
approximately 25 percent of the University's student body.
According to the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, "the Student Senate generally provides approximately $50,000 of the Educational Opportunu-
nity Funds to the Office of Student Financial Aid for child care grants for student-parents with children under the age of five."
"I decided to go back to school because I am not satisfied with giving my daughter the bare minimum."
This financial aid helps out parents like Kathy Diaz, a junior from DeSoto.
Diaz spends her days in class finishing her degree in journalism, and when she comes home, she balances homework and looking after her daughter Tracy.
parent has been a challenge, but her professors have been patient so far.
"It's difficult," Diaz said. "My mom is my baby sitter during the day. My husband helps me when I am doing homework, but I have to wait for him to get home before I can focus because I can't go back and forth between keeping track of my daughter and doing homework."
"I carried full term while still in school, and I actually went into labor during finals week," Diaz said. "I let my professors know, and they were very understanding and accommodating."
Diaz said her experience as a
BRIANNA RYAN incoming student
While most students roll out of bed and hop on a bus to head to class, Diaz spends up to two hours getting herself and Tracy ready for the day. Finding extra time for much else outside of school
and parenting has proven to be a challenge for Diaz.
"I'll maybe go to one or two parties a year. We spend time at
ties a year. We spend time at my mother's house, and sometimes we see movies on the weekend," Diaz said.
Ryan said she plans on scheduling classes so she can work a parttime job and Zoey can spend the day at day care.
"Once I start school, I expect life to be both easier and more difficult," Ryan said. "I will most likely try to keep my classes restricted to a few days a week, so that I can allow myself maximum time for work and assignments."
a solid key to balancing parenting.
"Stay focused on school," Diaz said. "You have to schedule well. Have a good agenda because able to do homework."
With Diaz and Ryan agree that completing a degree is crucial for bettering their children's future.
"I want her to have every opportunity possible, and I know that I cannot begin the journey to this type of life without an education," Ryan said.

Women's activist to lecture on immigration reform
REID EGGLESTON
reggleston@kansan.com
AARP
Made famous by her calls for expanded contraceptive insurance coverage in front of House of Representatives Democrats and the following criticism from conservative media outlets, Sandra Fluke is stopping by the University to present her lecture "Making Our Voices Heard."
The lecture will take place tonight at 7:30 in the Kansas Union's Woodruff Auditorium. The presentation is this year's installment of the Hall Center's Emily Wilson and Marilyn Stockstad lecture series.
The presentation, which will be followed by a question and answer session with Fluke, will focus on immigration reform specifically in regards to the unique concerns of women and families. Backed by the National Effort of March and the National Coalition for Women's Rights, Fluke's interest in promoting the rights of immigrants meshes with the principles of students in favor of social progress.
"I feel it's important to step up and be a force for social justice," Fluke said. "For college students, you are privileged to have the flexibility to learn where you fit in within a community, so in return you have a responsibility to engage the issues that are important to this community and to other communities."
In many ways, Fluke's brushes with the Congressional limelight as a student made her an attractive candidate as this year's speaker in the eyes of Hall Center Associate Director Dr. Sally Utech.

brought in more established women, but this should get students interested in social justice issues."
SANDRA FLUKE women's activist
Because of the nearly universal applicability between this Georgetown law student's legislative fight and the ideals of many University students, Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity at the University, hopes that both women and men interested in social justice will attend.
Those more established women have included speakers such as former Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and attorney Sarah Weddington, agitator for abortion rights in the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case.

Fluke agrees that social change is amplified when an interest is shared between groups, and encourages all students to attend her lecture, which is free and open to the public.
"It's important that we are constantly looking outside our own experiences." Fluke said. "We need to be allies to other communities and not segment ourselves. That's where we begin to see real change, when communities look out for each other rather than compete with one another."
And this comes at a critical time in the history of women's and families' social rights. State and national legislation over these issues has at times diverged sharply with the aims of constituents and social activists, alike.
"I think the 2012 election set a really clear message on what we want to see in this country," Fluke said. "We don't want to question
the legitimacy of rape, but we do want to assure that underrepresented groups see policy that impacts them in positive ways"
Despite Fluke's sponsorship of clear policies for women such as the national Paycheck Fairness Act and the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights in California, activists assert that no single policy will stimulate lasting social change alone.
"There is not one answer in finding gender equity," Rock-Mocky
Whether policy requires a broad view or an intimate dissection, Fluke and other activists agree that social change is possible at all levels, from a worldwide scale to Massachusetts St. itself.
said. "There are many things that need to come into play, but first we need to raise awareness. Policies that currently exist that send women back must be challenged. We need to look at the climate in which these policies evolve."

"Much of the good advocacy we see today occurs close to home," Fluke said. "If not at school, you are able to look toward the community, as well. We have an ability to bring about really important social change, but we need to remember that, at this point, it's still an opportunity, not an accomplishment."

Don Haider-Markel, political science professor and department chair, pointed to the problems of insufficient firearm training and expertise.
"I am 100 percent in favor of gun ownership," he said. "But even law enforcement officials make mistakes in tense situations. You can imagine that someone without that kind of training will make even more mistakes. If state lawmakers would like to provide staff and faculty with firearm training, I would be happy to have conceal and carry on campus; of course I'd prefer to rely on the expertise of law enforcement rather than encourage an armed fortress."

Senate creates task force against highway construction
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Student Senate finalized the task force that will work to suspend the construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway in order to preserve the Wakarusa Wetlands.
The task force consists of representatives of KU Environs, First Nations student organization, Haskell Wetlands Preservation, University faculty and administration, student senators and the student body president.
Kansas Department of Transportation plans to construct the South Lawrence Trafficway in the fall and the route it has chosen runs directly through the Wetlands. Student Senate chose the task force to further investigate the issue and create a final proposal to send to the University administration.
Student Body President Hannah Bolton said the task force will be the student voice. The task force will make a statement that people should care more about the Wetlands rather than let them disappear. She said that preserving the Wetlands is important for research and for students who have ties to the actual ground.
"It has an incredible educational value, and that is important to keep in mind," Bolton said. "Creating awareness can get more people interested in advocating for it," Bolton said.
Haskell Indian Nations University had sole rights to the Wetlands until the Indian Termination period in the 1950s and 1960s. Now, the University, along with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and Baker University share the rights to the land. The Wetlands cover more than 640 acres. Baker owns 573 acres, Haskell owns 27 acres, the University owns 20 acres and KDWPT also owns 20 acres.
The South Lawrence Trafficway will run through the Wetlands
owned by the University, Baker and KDWPT, next to Haskell's portion.
Brian Sultana, a senior from Manhattan, has worked with other University and Haskell students and members of the community to stop the construction. He said if the University gives its share of the Wetlands back to Haskell, the construction would end.
"My hope is that it brings together KU administration, KU students, Haskell administration and students and maybe even Baker administration and students," Sultana said.
Sultana said everyone has a stake in this issue and the task force is a way to bring in student input.
Sarah Kraus, a junior from Allen, Texas, is a member of KU Environments and Ecojustice. She said they have worked with the Wetlands Preservation Organization to raise awareness by attending Lawrence City Council meetings and speaking out against the construction. They have also hosted fundraising projects such as Swampfest in February. Kraus said aside from the environmental issues with the construction, the critical ecosystems in the Wetlands service the community by providing biodiversity.
Haskell has a special connection with the Wetlands.
When Haskell was a boarding school, students were not allowed to contact their families. Kraus said students used the Wetlands as a safe haven to talk with their families and for spiritual purposes. Because some of the students died in the Wetlands, Kraus said that the destruction of the Wetlands would destroy sacred grounds.
The task force plans to meet for the first time April 5. It will meet three times before May 1 to finalize a proposal to send to administration.

U.S. Supreme Court begins debate on same-sex marriage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court dove into a historic debate on gay rights Tuesday that could soon lead to resumption of same-sex marriage in California, but the justices signaled they may not be ready for a major national ruling on whether America's gays and lesbians have a right to marry.
The court's first major examination of gay rights in 10 years continues Wednesday, when the justices will consider the federal law that prevents legally married gay couples from receiving a range of benefits afforded straight married people.
The issue before the court on Tuesday was more fundamental: Does the Constitution require that people be allowed to marry whom they choose, regardless of either partner's gender? The fact that the question was in front of the Supreme Court at all was startling, given that no state recognized same-sex unions before 2003 and 40 states still don't
allow them.
There is no questioning the emotions the issue stirs. Demonstrators on both sides crowded the grounds outside the court, waving signs, sometimes chanting their feelings.
Inside, a skeptical Justice Samuel Alito cautioned against a broad ruling in favor of gay marriage precisely because the issue is so new.
"You want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cellphones or the Internet? I mean, we do not have the ability to see the future," Alito said.
Indeed, it was clear from the start of the 80-minute argument in a packed courtroom, that the justices, including some liberals who seemed open to gay marriage, had doubts about whether they should even be hearing the challenge to California's Proposition 8, the state's voter-approved gay marriage ban.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potentially decisive vote on a closely divided court, suggested the justices
could dismiss the case with no ruling at all.
Such an outcome would almost certainly allow gay marriage to resume in California but would have no impact elsewhere.
There was no majority apparent for any particular outcome, and many doubts were expressed by justices about the arguments advanced by lawyers for the opponents of gay marriage in California, by the supporters and by the Obama administration, which is in favor of same-sex marriage rights. The administration's entry into the case followed President Barack Obama's declaration of support for gay marriage.
MARRIAGE EQUAL
ECONOMIC EQUALITY
On the one hand, Kennedy acknowledged the recentness of same-sex unions, a point stressed repeatedly by Charles Cooper, the lawyer for the defenders of Proposition 8. Cooper said the court should uphold the ban as a valid expression of the people's will and let the vigorous political debate over gay marriage continue.

27
Cheryl D.
In this presentation, social justice advocate Sandra Fluke will discuss her notable experience in 2012 before a House panel, in which she passionately testified on the need to provide access to contraception. She discusses how even though she was raked over the coals by conservative political commentators, rather than respond in kind, she transformed the media focus into an opportunity to advocate for important social justice concerns for women. Her inspiring talk is nothing short of a call to audience members to make their own voices heard and create social change and legislative action on issues that are important to them.

These are only a few wishes from the original list created by Duncan Penn, Jonnie Penn, Ben Nemtin and Dave Lingwood. They set out to complete a list of "100 things to do before you die" in the summer months of 2006 and 2007 after realizing they were not pursuing what they wanted in life. Together, they grabbed a camera and a list of their supplies to go after their dreams and help others achieve their own.
Duncan, Jonnie, Ben and Dave chose the name "The Buried Life" from the 1852 Matthew Arnold poem of the same name. The first documentary film was uploaded to the Internet for everyone to view.
Now, The Buried Life has 24,273 YouTube subscribers and 3,923,421 video views. These four guys also made two seasons of documentary episodes aired on MTV, and they wrote a book, which was released last year.

However, they are not done. Today, the four members travel to various universities to teach their philosophy and spread their support of going after your dreams. Two weeks ago, the University SUA program hosted two members of "The Buried Life" at the Kansas Union. After showing clips of their journey, they asked
audience members to form lines behind two microphones to divulge their wishes in front of everyone.
The first to speak was my friend Jordan Kaczor, who swiftly snuck up to the microphone to say, "Before I die, I want to get a kiss from Ben and Duncan." The entire audience cheered her on as she waltzed up to the stage to claim her kiss from our two speakers. It did not matter that the request was simple, it was

the act of going after her list and achieving one of her dreams that made the night a success.
think about what we want out of life. It is the idea to live in the present and go after your dreams, while remaining socially conscious and giving back to the community whenever able.
Kaczor was brave enough to stand in front of a crowd and say her wish, but many of us are not. Brush aside any feelings of embarrassment over what society may think and ask yourself what are the most important things you want to do before life ends for you.
It's almost like dreaming about what you would do if you won the Powerball. Our society actively participates in dreaming up out-of-this-world houses and sweet motorcycles to purchase that many people spend at least two dollars every Wednesday and Saturday to buy a ticket that will always disappoint.
So come on, take a breather.
Go sit in a quiet place, grab a pencil and piece of paper, and begin. Start to believe anything is possible and write down your desires. If you become stumped, watch a free inspiring The Buried Life videos on YouTube. You can never dream too big.
Anyone want to play basketball with the President? I know I do.

POLITICS
Government parties a lot like supporting family members
"C
"Conservatives want to be your daddy, telling you what to do and
what not to do," said David Boaz in his book, Libertarianism: A Primer. "Liberals want to be your mommy, feeding you, tucking you in and wiping your nose."
And libertarians are like your uncle. Your uncle is cool. He drives a two-seater coupe instead of your dad's dorky sedan because he's a grown man and can do what he wants with his money. He gave you your first sip of beer when you were five because he thought it'd be funny to see you stumble around. He uses whatever language he damn well pleases, and he didn't rat you out to your parents when he caught you smoking weed in the abandoned Sears parking lot a few years back.
By Will Webber webber@kansan.com
That's why lots of college-aged kids are flocking to libertarianism. It's in the same family, but it's not like your main two parties that are ruining your life and trying to control every little thing you do. Those parties are always trying to make you get a job so you can contribute to the family, but they don't understand that you need time to chill and "find yourself."
But then you look at your cousin. There's a reason why you're in college and he's still working at the neighborhood grocery store to fund an expensive drug habit: Your uncle always let him blow his money on video games and expensive sneakers, while your parents made sure that you invested part of
each paycheck into your future. Without taxes, most Americans would likely spend their money like your cousin, instead of investing and providing infrastructure.
Once you get to college, you get a little taste of the libertarian lifestyle. Your parents can't check up on your grades any more and they can't go to conferences with your professors to discuss why you've been skipping class. There's no more curfew or rules — you can get drunk at the Hawk five nights a week even though your real license says you're 18.
But so many young students reach that point where they're slumped over a tear-stained textbook, cramming in hopes of pulling out a C, wondering how they gained 15 pounds in beer and cheap Mexican food, and lost equally as much self-respect. They wish Mom and Dad could take control, but instead their only help is SparkNotes and Adderall.
Luckily, this isn't one of my entirely biotographical columns. My parents were strict when I was a kid, but that's because I was a kid. I was really, really stupid. If my mom hadn't restricted my meals, I would probably have diabetes on top of
all my other health issues. And yeah, she was a little overprotective, but only because she wanted me to be safe. I used to think my dad cared too much about money, but I now realize that he only wanted to give me every opportunity that he never had and teach me how to earn things for myself.
My dad wasn't just the authority figure and my mom wasn't just the coddler; they made each decision based on whatever was best for me. Sometimes they had to be harsh, sometimes they had to be kind, and yes, sometimes they had to just leave me alone and let me fend for myself. Good politicians shouldn't be so entrenched in ideology either. There is no single, correct way to govern.
I thought I had become so independent. I thought I could push my parents away and take care of myself. But they're moving to Texas in a few months and then I really will be on my own. I'm going to miss having my dad here to solve my problems and I'm going to miss having my mom here to make me soup when I'm sick. I'm still a dumb kid. I don't think any of us or ever really outgrow it. But even though they'll be 700 miles away after all, I put them
- even after all I've put them through - they will always be there to bail me out.

ATTITUDE
Find the beauty in the ugliness of life
As I make my way through downtown Lawrence, I notice a man making noise on two-empty coffee cans. The noise is an orchestrated effort to sound like the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
Unfortunately, I feel like people are making life a list full of problems than something beautiful.
As I try to recollect the popular lyrics, while enjoying this unusual rendition, I stop and start to walk towards the man. I compliment him on his creativity to make such a beautiful harmony out of coffee cans. He pauses for a moment and looks at me and says, "I was given two-empty coffee cans by a stranger. Now, I'm making music with them. Life is beautiful, but often, people are blinded by all the ugliness. I could have been bitter about a stranger giving me these two coffee cans, instead I made music. That's the beauty of life: beauty comes in many different forms. You just have to recompose it."
If I wanted to see the negativity in the world, I would turn on the news. If the biggest complaint you have is a test coming up, then life isn't bad. If a homeless man can find joy from two-empty coffee cans, then who can complain about a test they have this week
We don't have to search long to find negativity. Log onto your Facebook or your Twitter account and see the things people are talking about. I would venture to guess that half of it is negative.
I left inspired and wanted to adopt this idea that life is beautiful no matter the circumstance.
I'm not saying that venting is bad; I'm guilty of that, too. I'm suggesting that the positive-to-negative comment ratio be higher than the negative-to-positive comment ratio.
It's always easier to complain about something than to do something about it. I think the problem is that people like to blame others for their problems instead of taking responsibility for their own life. I was infected with this kind of thinking.
If I woke up in a bad mood it was the school's fault for starting at 7:45 a.m. If I did poorly on a test it was because the teacher
I wasn't born to be a spectator of my life, but to be the lead role. And it was time for me to start living my life. I quickly realized that there is more to life than going to school, finding a job, paying bills and growing old. I think many people fall victim to this kind of thinking, too.
Though, those are important things in life, it's not what life is about. Life is about taking coffee cans and making melodies

that's the beauty of life that goes unrecognized. Life is about looking at the ugly and seeing the beauty.
This is a cawdray way of living. Blaming others for your shortcomings; instead, of focusing on the good things in your life.
failed to teach me. If I didn't perform well in sports it was my parents fault for not buying me the latest-technological gear.
I often imagine what the world would be like if people had the inability to feel and think negatively. Human emotion is the most powerful thing on earth, in my opinion. All wars, genocides and senseless crimes are provoked by negative emotion.
But there is good news, just like we have the power to commit such emotionally-provoked crimes; we have the same power to stop it. Spread positivity in replacement of negativity.
We need to keep the world moving forward, not backward.
That's the beauty of life. We have the power to change the world and our lives for the better. I think it's time we start seeing the beauty in life, instead of the ugliness.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Some things are still out of reach.
Focus on completing as much of the mundane work as possible now so that you can concentrate on more difficult tasks later.
Elbow grease pays off.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Stick with trusted routines, and do what you know works. Handle basics: chop wood and carry water. Postpone romance for now, and focus on productivity. Don't go out shopping either. Minimize risks, and build infrastructure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 7
An obstacle may get in the way.
Use your creative powers to turn a detour into a new opportunity. You're being tested on your patience, anyway. It's not about the score.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 6
A female introduces new ideas. Peaceful interludes juvenate and ripple out. Being gentle increases your self-esteem, and more gets accomplished through flexibility than through pressure. Long-distance deals bring surprising results, even after slight delays. Gambling is unwise.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7
Don't be afraid to ask for help, even if you feel like you don't need anybody. There's plenty to learn and improve upon, and it's better together. It's more fun, and you're done earlier. Spending isn't required.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
today is a 7
Figure out a solution to a conflict of interests. Do it carefully so you won't have to do it over. New opportunities come from your willingness to contribute and help others. It's also satisfying.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
New breakdowns could arise from previous ones. This is what it looks like when you're really playing. Continue with your productivity streak, and do what there is to do. Address root causes.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
Perceive the underlying harmony. You'll discover something that you didn't notice before regarding your time management this week. Being self-sufficient helps. Keeping close contact with your calendar
and structures is vital.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a S
Take care of your relationships,
and don't lose your temper. You
don't want to burn any bridges
that you may want to cross later.
Meditation helps, as does comedy
Add a sense of humor.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
today is 4
Avoid a serious argument; it's not worth it right now. You have more interesting things to worry about. Focus on your personal progress, especially around career. Don't stir up jealousies.
Acknowledge others for their contributions.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 7
Answer the call of the wild;
you're ready for anything. Work out the glitches in a relationship.
Listen to all points of view. Self-esteem increases as you iron out the wrinkles. Unexpected results are available.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6.
Avoid impetuous actions. The budget is tight and will require some creative thinking. Step back to recall what worked before, and put that information to good use. Get feedback and participation from others.

--previously had no idea existed – moves into the house with them carrying dark secrets, a threatening yet alluring interest in her mother and India, and dangerous, twisted intentions.
THE MASTER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stoker is a British-American movie starming Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Dermot Mulroney that preimered at Sundance in Jan. and released in all the theatres on March 1, Wentworth Miller was the writer.
'Stoker' brings great cast to a predictable script
The macabre story of "Stoker" - concerning a young woman whose creepy, murderous uncle causes trouble when he moves in with her and her widowed mother - makes for a sensational tale of violent family dysfunction, but it's actually the weakest aspect of the film.
The script, by "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller, takes inspiration from the Hitchcock classic "Shadow of a Doubt." It's able to keep interest and a sense of perversity bubbling throughout, but it progresses slowly and predictably.
Thanks to director Park Chanwook and stars Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode and Nicole Kidman, however, it's a brooding, finely crafted and chillingly performed experience, where a distinct style rightfully trumps the lacking substance. This creates a greater appreciation for the nuance and technical prowess as they rise to the forefront and the plot takes a backseat.
There are some occasional great ideas and moments in the story though, which begins on the 18th birthday of India (Wasikowska), whose father (Dermot Mulroney) mysteriously dies in a car accident the same day. Having no other friends besides him, India coldly shuts off to the rest of the world, while her mother (Kidman) seems relieved about the loss. Then her uncle Charlie (Goode) - who she
By Alex Lamb alamb@kansan.com
Known for his vengeance trilogy (which includes the ultimate South Korean revenge thriller "Oldboy") and the boldly unique vampire flick "Thirst," Chan-wook brings his wicked, attention-grabbing sensibilities to "Stoker," and man does he make an impression. A crackling sound design creates a higher awareness, evocative visuals provide subtle eye candy and restrained suspense unravels slowly to effectively unsettle viewers.
Some highlights include a memorable transition of long hair seamlessly becoming a field in the wind, a piano duet that has the intensity of a steamy sex scene and a gruesome killing which shocks not only from the act itself but from a character's disturbing reaction afterwards. Unfortunately though, the movie's trailer revealed so much that the potency
of a number of tense scenes is lessened, and several encounters with high school bullies are so cliché they're comical. But the first and last scenes of the film surprise and work magnificently well.
All three leads deliver superb performances as they inhabit their characters with both masked emotional facades and biting menace. Wasikowska proved her dramatic hein in "Jane Eyre," and here she once again says far more with her expressive face than with words, particularly a fascinated curiosity, and gives India's character arc a slick sting.
Kidman oozes an insincerity for and burning envy of India while emitting a sultry, sexual connection to Goode. An underrated character actor of great skill and powerful persuasion, Goode balances a cool confidence and charisma with a psychologically sinister undercurrent.
"Stoker" is a bit of a disappointment considering how much it gets right, but the integral element of the story underwhelms. If you can accept the fact that the plotting feels too familiar, this work by a visionary director is a rousing exercise in stylistic, sensory command.

A new group is encouraging University staff to incorporate wellness and fitness into the workday.
That group is called Walk Talk Jayhawk. Roughly 35 people attended the group's kickoff walk on March 12.
"Our motivation is to start with something that's fairly easy to accomplish—walking—and make it more fun by getting groups together to do it," said Claudia Bode, education director for the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis. "Importantly, we want staff to know that they don't have to do it alone. We're also hoping to build camaraderie and networking across units."
Bode said that the group currently has between 40 and 50 participants at the Lawrence

ballroom.
One of the participants, Nancy Crisp, events coordinator at the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, looks forward to helping expand the group and mingle with other departments through its run.
"A few of us already walk to."
gether so I like that we can bring in other people and possibly expand the group" she said.
Bode also added that right now the group only has unclassified staff and support staff in its membership, but it will soon be open to everyone, including students. Rhonda Partridge, the business manager at the CEBC, also talked about how walking with the other members of the group influenced her goals.
"If others are walking, it is an incentive for me to walk also," Partridge said. "Walking at lunch helps me not feel guilty about taking time for exercise in the evening."

Are you a broke college student who's trying to save money but doesn't want to be a unsocial hermit? Don't worry, there are plenty of activities in and around Lawrence that are fun and free. Here are three free activities students should look into throughout the rest of the semester.
COSMIC BOWLING AT THE JAYBROWI
Becky Swearingen, business manager of Jaybowl, said cosmic bowling is a hit with students.
Not only is Cosmic Bowling at the Jaybowl free, it's also located on campus. This is a plus for students who don't want to travel far or those who don't have a car. The Jaybowl is located on the first floor of the Kansas Union and has free cosmic bowling for students on Thursdays from 8 to 10 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

tive. These events include films, the Science on Tap and Science on the Spot: Bar Edition events, and Science Saturrdays that inform patrons on reptiles, insects and animals. Each of these events is free to the public and takes place at Dyche Hall, located in the museum, and Free State Brewery.
Clinton State Park is a perfect place to go for students who enjoy the outdoors. The park is located only four miles west of Lawrence and has a variety of activities, like a 25-mile hike/bike trail, a five-mile cross country ski trail, a one-mile self-guided nature trail and a copious amount of land to walk or play with your dog. Each of these events can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Teresa MacDonald, the director of education at the museum, said that these events also bring attention to natural history museums.
Jeff Zeller, a ranger at the park, said that students come to Clinton State Park to do a variety of activities.
Bekkah Lamp, the Natural History Museum educator, said that the museum hosts these events to find new audiences.

The University's Natural History Museum has several different and interesting events throughout the semester that are free and informa-
"These events are a fun way to bring science out to people who don't normally think about it," Lamp said.
"We also put on these events to encourage audiences that don't think of natural history museums as places for students, but they are," MacDonald said. "Students often associate these museums as places they go when they are children, but we want to show them that there's stuff for them to do as well."
LOVE
Edited by Nikki Wentling
Falling in love affects bodies in positive, negative ways
CHELSEA MIES
cmies@kansan.com
According to a study by Syracuse University, it takes only one-fifth of a second to fall in love. Love feels great, but how does it really affect our bodies? Interestingly enough, love does many different things to several parts of the body. Falling in love can affect everything from our brains to our hands. Some of these effects are positive and others are negative, but what all can this tricky little thing we can love do to us?
BRAIN:
When you experience the feelings of love, your body is releasing dopamine, a brain chemical that gives you energy and a sense of optimism. In an article by Salynn Boyles, researchers said that love can relieve pain. Arthur Aron, psychologist at Stony Brook University, helped conduct a study that found that love affects the brain much like drug addiction, because both love and drugs affect the dopamine reward part of the brain. "It's like an addiction to a bond to someone," Aron said. "Bonding is a good thing."
STOMACH:
---
The sensation most commonly equated with love and our stomachs is butterflies, but what really can happen to them is much worse than that fluttery feeling. Love can cause digestion problems and loss of appetite. Davidson said in her article. Fortunately, these problems are less than serious, and those butterflies kind of feel good, too.
EMOTIONS:
Carmelia Ray, author and relationship coach, said that love can both positively and negatively affect our emotional health based on the health of the relationship. Emotions related to love release chemicals, like dopamine and endorphins, into the body, which can create a sense of well-being and happiness. It can relieve stress. Love also provides people with a sense of security and purpose. In an unhealthy relationship, the opposite can happen. Stress and fear are common in unhealthy relationships.
HEART:
Although love has been said to make peoples' hearts skip a beat or beat too quickly, it actually does some good things for your heart. It can help lower blood pressure and prevent heart disease. According to a study published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology, people who are in committed relationships are also less likely to have a heart attack. So if you are in love, your heart is probably thankening you.
HANDS:
According to "The Effects of Falling in Love," an article by Tamara Davidson, just like nerves, falling in love can cause sweaty, clammy hands. As one of the more mild symptoms of love, you can probably shrug this one off fairly easily.

FACT OF THE DAY
The Bruins have not advanced to the Sweet 16 in five consecutive years, which is the longest such streak of UCLA since John Wooden retired in 1975.
Espn.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the last coach before Howland to take his school to three consecutive Final Fours?
A: Tom lizzo (Michigan State) led his team to the Final Four in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Espn.com
THE MORNING BREW After NCAA tournament loss, UCLA sacks Howland
Former UCLA basketball coach Ben Howland was relieved of his duties on Sunday after his Bruins lost to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Howland's dismissal from the program wasn't a surprise, and I believe it was justified based on his accomplishments over the past five seasons.
By Chris Schaeder
cschaeder@kansan.com
Defendants of Howland will point to the three Final Fours that the Bruins reached from 2006-08, but this is a "what have you done for me lately" society. In the past five seasons since UCLA last reached the Final Four, the Bruins have missed the NCAA Tournament twice and haven't advanced beyond the round of 32. At most programs, three Final Fours over a 10-year period is a success. However, most programs aren't UCLA.
UCLA basketball has a winning tradition unlike any other program in the country. The program has the most national titles, 11, to their credit and has reached 17 Final Fours. Ten of these national titles came under the reign of John Wooden during the 1960s and 70s.
Their domination of the sport during this time period cannot be understated. Fair or unfair, UCLA's domination under Wooden has placed high expectations over those who have come after him. Jim Harrick is the only coach to lead UCLA to a national title since Wooden's departure when the Bruins defeated Arkansas to claim the 1995 national title. Howland's inability to win national titles was only part of the reason he was fired.
Off-court troubles around the UCLA program have also surfaced over the past few seasons. Howland showed he could recruit some of the best players in the country to UCLA, but many of these
players found Howland difficult to deal with and eventually left the program. These defects include Chace Stanback, Drew Gordon, Jmison Morgan, Mike Moser, Reeves Nelson and Matt Carlino. Stanback, Gordon, Moser and Carlino all went on to have successful careers at other schools, which only hurt UCLAS perception even more.
Howland can't shoulder all of the blame for these players leaving UCLA, but you must consider his influence on them. The recruits come to UCLA because they want to live in Los Angeles and play for one of the most historic programs in the country. Was Howland that bad that these players wanted to get out of Westwood and play somewhere else?
KU
The prospects looked good for UCLA this season, with the No.1 recruiting class in the country coming to town. The Bruins were expected to make a deep tournament run. Like the past four years, expectations were unmet as UCLA won the Pac-12 regular season title, but were unable to win a game in the NCAA Tournament. The last five seasons demonstrated that the UCLA basketball program is in a rut and the only way to fix things in Westwood was to fire Howland.
I have no doubts that Howland will be a successful coach at another school. He's too good of a coach not to land another prominent job.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks need McLemore to win
Kansas is playing its best half of the postseason. Jeff Withey is dinking and blocking. Naadir Tharpe is making step-back threes. Travis Releford is making spine-twisting layups. And Ben McLemore is on the bench, cheering them on.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
This was the scene in the second half Sunday at the Sprint Center, as the Jayhawks beat North Carolina 70-58. The building was mostly full of KU fans, all of them standing and screaming for Kansas — and McLemore was one of them.
"Ben was the biggest cheerleader we had," Bill Self said after the game Sunday. "He's a great teammate."
He's a great teammate and certainly a great player. But he wasn't the latter against the Tar Heels, and he certainly wasn't Friday against Western Kentucky, either.
A couple bum games for a freshman from St. Louis? No big deal. However, when stakes are this high, and the Jayhawks could be done after any game, it can potentially become a very big deal. It's not to DEFCON 1 yet, but we'll see what happens when Kansas plays Michigan at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Weis gearing up for a better season
http://bit.ly/ZWgcBG
"I've talked to a few coaches over the years that say you don't do that with your best player or leading scorer," Self said Sunday. "But we were actually better during that stretch."
Could the benching on Sunday affect him? Possibly.
It's not the end of times, either — he's got an incredibly bright future ahead of him.
It's possible that McLemore's hit a freshman wall, he's in a scoring slump or maybe neither of the above. It may all be a coincidence that the shots haven't dropped for Kansas' star. That's unlikely, though. Odds are, it's part freshman slump and part pressure-related. It's understandable, too. These are high expectations for a kid who's 20 years old.
After that North Carolina game where he scored two points, McLemore said he wasn't bothered at all by his poor shooting. But after the Western Kentucky game, he did fess up to one thing that's awfully telling about this incredibly talented player.
"The lights was bright out there."
Edited by Madison Schultz
This season, fans have noticed that McLemore fades out of the spotlight when the Jayhawks need to win most. On the road against Oklahoma State and Iowa State, McLemore scored seven points. He averaged an impressive 17.4 points per game in Big 12 play this season. However, on the road in conference play, he averaged 13 points per game.
If you include Kansas' Big 12 road games and its postseason games, he's averaged 12 points per game. And in postseason play alone, he averages 10.4 points per game.

Outside shooting leads Kansas to victory over North Carolina
GEOFFREY CALVERT

gcalvert@kansan.com
For the first 60 minutes of Kansas' NCAA Tournament run this season, 3-pointers were hard to come by. They were impossible to come by, in fact.
Against Western Kentucky, four players attempted six total 3-pointers, and they missed all six of those shots. Kansas actually attempted only one 3-pointer in the second half against the Hilltopers, spending the majority of the evening gathering points near the rim.
According to ESPN's stats and information department, Kansas became the first team since Arizona in 2001 to win an NCAA Tournament game without hitting a 3-pointer.
The trend continued in the first half against North Carolina in the round of 32. The Jayhawks attempted, and missed, all six of its 3-point attempts in the first half.
Winning a second consecutive game without hitting a 3-pointer, especially against a team that shoots a large volume of threes like North Carolina, would be a tall order.
But senior Travis Releford converted a 3-pointer before the second half was even two minutes old, and suddenly the floodgates opened.
"I was wide
"I was wide open, stepped up, took the shot," Releford said. "I wasn't thinking, "We need the shot, need to make it' I just focused on the time right then."
P. R. BALDI
Releford
senior center Jeff Withey said Kansas' offense played well enough in the second half that Releford's 3-pointer wasn't necessarily the play of the game, but it definitely helped the Jayhawks further the offensive run they were starting.
Kansas shot 5-8 from 3-point range in the second half, finish
ing 5-14 from beyond the arc. After holding the 'Tar Heels to 2-17 3-point shooting in last season's Elite Eight victory, the Jayhawks kept them to 6-21 3-point shooting this time.
Without a reliable 3-point game, North Carolina had no answer for Kansas. Withey swapped five shots, four of them near the paint, and altered other Tar Heel attempts. North Carolina's smaller lineup was ill-suited to face Withey in the paint when the 3-pointers weren't falling, especially when Kansas' deep attempts were.
When Withey was guarding his man down low, Releford's perimeter defense, especially on Reggie Bullock, helped keep the Tar Heels from establishing any offensive rhythm.

"I said, 'You man only got five points, only scored one basket on you.' Self told Releford. He said 'No he didn't. He didn't get any on me. That was during a switch or a sub."
Although Releford didn't attempt another 3-pointer in the second half, he didn't need to. Senior guard Elijah Johnson drilled a deep shot to tie the game at 35, and sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe converted all three of his second-half 3-point attempts.
"His minutes are huge." Releford said. "He stepped up and made big shots, huge shots for us."
Tharpe had two key 3-pointers during Kansas' initial second-half run that effectively decided the game in Kansas' favor. With a little less than six minutes remaining in the second half and the shot clock winding down, Tharpe feigned a drive and swished a step-back 3-pointer, displaying the confidence Jayhawk fans have grown accustomed as Tharpe established himself as a key rotation player for Kansas this season.
"I had a good feeling that they were going in." Tharpe said.

Kansas opens outdoor season in Texas
COLIN WRIGHT
cwright@kansan.com
The University will send a handful of athletes down to Texas this weekend, and it's not just the men's basketball team that will compete.
After a successful indoor season in which the women finished second at the NCAA Indoor Championships, the team looks to improve on that in the outdoor portion of the season.
The men's and women's track and field teams will compete in their first outdoor meet of the season Wednesday through Saturday at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin, Texas.
The expectations could not be higher for them. After their recent success, the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named Kansas the No. 1 team in the nation in the outdoor preseason poll. After consecutive runner-up finishes at the NCAA Indoor Championship and a fourth place finish at last year's Outdoor Championship, the expectations are justifiably high.
The men will also have an opportunity to compete on the national scene. They are ranked No. 26 in the USTFCCCA preseason outdoor poll. Of the five athletes who picked up points at the NCAA Outdoor Championships last season, four of them return for the Jayhawks.
The women are led by senior
Anthuela Geulebah, who has been picking up hardware left and right. After winning first place in both the long jump and the triple jump at the NCAA

Indoor Championship, she was named the National Field Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA.
Joining Geubelie will be 10 other returners who were ranked in the top 10 in the nation in their events, including juniors Diamond Dixon and Natalia Bartnovskaya. Dixon holds the school record in the 400-meter with a time of 50.88 and Bartnovskaya made a quick impact as a Jayhawk, winning the
Kansas is also going to rely on seniors Heather Bergmann, Paris Daniels and Francine Simpson. Bergmann was runner-up in the javelin at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships last season, Daniels is both the 2012 Big 12 Outdoor Champion and the league Indoor Champion this year, and Simpson looks to defend her title in the long jump, winning the Big 12 Outdoor crown last year with a jump 6.67 meters.
The Kansas men are led by senior Kyle Clemons, who competed in the semifinal of the 400-meter at the NCAA Indoor Championships earlier this month. He currently is the school record holder in the 400-meter with a time of 46.44.
The men finished 23rd a' the NCAA Outdoor Championsiips in 2012 and will look to their upperclassmen to make significant contributions to the team throughout the outdoor season.

Even though every cadet seemed to want to be doing something else on a Friday night, especially not drinking the grog, there was a sense of brotherhood you could feel in the room.
It was apparent when everyone sang the army song at the top of their lungs or when everyone laughed as each class made fun of the commanding staff in skis.
KU Army ROTC cadets observe formal proceedings of Dining-in as they quietly await for the arrival for special guest Kansas 40th District Representative Melanie Meier. Meier served in the Army as an Air Defense Artillery, and Military Intelligence officer after graduating from the University of Kansas Army ROTC in 1989.

being too loud, not standing up when a lady sits down or stands up from the table and not being in regulation uniform. Some cadets like senior Sarah Meyer have never had to drink the grog, while some cadets seem to break these rules every year.
This is "Dining-in," a night once a year, steeped in tradition. It is filled with friendly tatling, drinking the grog and camaraderie.
Even when someone had to drink the grog, they seemed to enjoy doing it, something that their fellow cadets had also done and that other cadets respected them for doing
"I feel like [drinking the grog] was unfortunate, but it was for the sake of everybody, and it wasn't me, so I am OK with it," said Cadet Kendall Gregg, a sophomore that has never had to drink the grog.
Some Dining-in traditions seemed to be nothing more than requirements. There were long speeches and toasts to different people of the army, for example,
the commander in chief. It seemed that the whole night was scripted, from what the cadets said in the speeches and toasts to the order of events.
However, one event was not scripted, the drinking of the grog. This was the part that the cadets
were waiting for. When the grog event started, all the cadets loosened up and started to relax.
The whole night brought the cadets closer together; the traditions, the ridged script followed and the sometimes-boring parts of the three hour dinner. But, the
grog made them comrades. The select few that drank the grog had bragged rights for the rest of their time at the University; while others had bragging rights for getting by another year without having to drink it.

University Law students to compete abroad
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
Joining Harvard, American and Queens Universities, four School of Law graduate students will represent the University of Kansas in Geneva next month.
"It's no more of a surprise [to see KU Law list amongst these prestigious universities] than it should be to see Kansas jayhaws in the final four of the NCAA tournament," said Raj Bhala, an Associate Dean with the School of Law. "We're a darn good law school and have a darn good international and comparative law program."
Bruno Samoes, Ryan Thornton,
Jade Martin and Matthew O'Neill
qualified as semifinalists in the All
America Regional Round of the
European LawStudents' Association
Moot Court Competition in
Szazú, Costa Rica.
"Pretty much all of Christmas break and January was spent writing our briefs and doing initial
research," Martin said. "We had 15 practice rounds and, after each, we discussed what our pros and cons were."
After placing fifth of 54 two-person teams in last year's School of Law's in-house competition, partners Samoeds and Thornton quali-

team advanced to place as semifinalist.
"It was maybe intimidating at first but during it, we realized
that we were prepared enough to answer questions from the judges that were very qualified" Samões said. "It was really nice to have that level of questioning—it really helped us hone in our arguments and see what we need to focus on as we move on to the world finals."
"Success at these competitions enhances our global name brand and thereby opens doors for our students to get jobs around the world and encourages prospective law students to come to KU", Bhala said. "It also opens doors for our faculty to enter into research and teaching and moot court collaboration with international schools."
The international finals is a return trip for the Jayhawks, as the 2009 KU Law team traveled to the international finals in Taiwan. The School of Law sponsors both travel and competition entry expenses.
This year's competition dealt with reforms and emergency majors made during economic crisis, including guaranteeing domestic, commercial bank deposits like in Germany and theoretical currency devaluation created by using two currency exchange rates. The team debates three members at a time, each arguing for and against an action and possible responses.
"We are focusing on soring- have prepared" Samores said. "And assessing our style of argument to be better received by the European panel."
The team will travel to Geneva to compete against 20 other top teams in the international finals April 30 through May 5.

Student Senate coalitions finalize platforms
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
The final platforms for both Student. Senate campaign coalitions—Ad Astra and KUnited—have been released. These releases come in preparation for the upcoming election, which will occur April 10 and 11. Both coalitions have both released a total of 12 platforms each during the campaign.

nounced Tuesday via their facebook page two additional plat-
1. Hawks Helping Hawks
- A 23-year-old female was arrested yesterday on the 0 block of Eighth Street on suspicion of theft and interfering with the duties of an officer. A $200 bond was paid.
KUnited pledged to work with KU Endowment and KU Alumni Association to create a student led fund campaign for students in financial need who meet certain academic and verification criteria.
"We are modeling this after the very successful "K-State Proud" at KSU," said Brandon Woodard, a senior from Topeka and KUnited's 2013 presidential candidate. "KUnited feels that it's extremely important for students to have the opportunity help make the lives of other layhawks easier."
2. Surveying Students to Identify New Initiatives
the Student Survey Board was established this past fall, and is still in the process of being established.
KUnited said it will use the summer months and the Student Survey Board to generate at least two additional initiatives to expand its platforms beyond the campaign season. Woodard said
"We would ensure the use of this board to gauge the opinion of the student body to help us when making important decisions on their behalf." Woodard said.
21. Reducing Plastic Bags In order to make the University
Ad Astra released four additional platforms via their twitter account Tuesday.
1. Increase Student Input in Housing
2. Reducing Plastic Bags
Due to the underutilization of housing boards in recent years, Ad Astra said it would create more boards composed of residents, RAs, and student housing employees. The initiative cited the importance of housing to a students' University experience, and aims to increase the amount of student input within Housing.
a more environmentally friendly campus, Ad Astra said it will cooperate with the Office of Sustainability to reduce the number of plastic bags used on campus.
3. Election Reform
KU has the most heavily student-utilized campus health center in the Big XII, according to the Ad Astra coalition. In order to bring Watkins Health Center up to University standards, Ad Astra said it would invest financially in needed upgrades and repairs to the student health center.
Citing how a single-party student political system disengages students, Ad Astra said it would implement campaign spending caps, a shortened election season, and a transparent candidate nomination process.

where I got lost at a Sea World

dolphin trainer, this party sounds
like it's going to be one hell of a good time. If last year is any indication of how crazy the people of Lawrence are ready to get when their Jayhawks blow through another round of opponents, this
year will most likely become an all-out riot. That being said, here's a little advice for the ensuing madness.
NO SUPERSTITION IS TOO FARFETCHED
I don't care if you have to wear the same beer-covered cut-off tee shirt from last season. You pull that baby out, dust it off and throw it on because leaving that thing in the cupboard isn't doing anyone any favors. Maybe you were watching the game in your old apartment last year when we went to the Final Four. Well, now's your chance to become an expert lock picker and keep the tradition alive! Just bring along a six pack of your favorite beverage as a peace offering to whom ever might live there now. And remember to wipe your feet.
By Brett Crawford
bcrawford@kansan.com
You never know when festivities will arise as a result of a Kansas win, so it's best to keep yourself strapped at all times with one of these. Every good party needs a hype man (or woman), plus an air horn helps you let everyone know that your party group means business. Think of it this way, if you get lost in the crowd downtown this season, what better way to find your
KEEP AN AIR HORN HANDY
friends than with an obnoxious display of air horn-age?
REMEMBER TO HYDRATE
GET YOURSELF A GOOD PAIR
This one is crucial. No one likes a sickly party crasher, so stay on top of your game. You think Withey or Releford get to cop out and get dehydrated? Absolutely not! It's your job to alternate between cans of Natty Lite and water, between shots of Evan Williams Green and Gatorade, even taking a minute to lap up some condensation from the bar's air conditioner between swigs of moonshine will help you stay healthy and in fighting shape.
OF ATHLETIC SKILLS
This might sound like a gimmi, but you'd be surprised how many people wear the wrong
footwear to sporting event parties. Ladies, this is not the time for you to get all dolled up and wear your new, cherry-red four-inch pumps; save that crap for dollar night at the Hawk. Go out and buy yourself a solid pair of Nike Shox so every time McLemore drops a three you can jump up on your feet and shout with the rest of us.
These are just a few of the basics here, but if you stay sharp and watch your surroundings, you'll catch on quick. Good luck and Godspeed.

Producers lost the reality in reality television series
Have you ever sat down and watched a reality TV show such as "Survivor," "The Real World," or a dating show like "The Bachelor" and say, "Wow this would never happen if there weren't cameras around."
Well, I have, too, and we're most definitely not the only ones.
Reality television shows are no longer "reality." Even though there is no script, there are still guidelines set by the producers that need to be followed, and this manipulates the already unreal situation.
Yes, I agree that a long time ago, when reality TV became popular, they were reality, but nowadays people are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame or trying to live up to the hype and expectations of previous seasons.
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com
Just look at "The Real World." The first season is reality because the people don't have any expectations to live up to, or they don't know how famous the show will be so it is easy to be yourself in this situation. But now, the show is famous and on its 28th season, so people want to be on it to begin their acting careers or become a celebrity. These people are forced to cause drama and
start arguments because that is what the producers want in their show. Reality TV shows would not even be aired on television if there was no conflict. These people are forced to put up an act for the cameras because that is what made the show so successful in the past; why change it?
Or what about dating shows like, "The Bachelor"? It is easy for people to lie to make them stand out over the other candidates, but in real life, people have nothing to lie about because they are not in a competition while dating. The cameras make people much more fake just so they can stay around on TV longer. I'm sorry ladies, but this is not how you find your so called "prince charming". These people don't fall in love with each other, but rather fall in love with the thought of winning the competition.
Just look at the statistics. Out of the 24 possible couples, only four are still together. That is a pretty low percentage, seeing it is the most romantic show on television. It's not "happily ever after" for these couples, but rather, a reality breakup shortly after the final episode was shot.
So do you believe me yet? Or do I need another example about how bad reality TV is today?
Well, here is one more, just in case.
"Survivor." There is not much to say about this show because it has been aired since the turn of the millennium in 2000. These people already learned how to "survive" on these islands because they have seen the tactics that others have used in previous seasons. They understand how to team up and win immunity, so this reality show can't really be reality anymore after 26 long seasons.
Don't believe people when they say reality television is still reality because honestly, they are just talking a lot of hot air.

LIFE
Home belongings reflect true self
The walls of my apartment are lined with mirrors. Kurt Vonnegut's fictional character Kilgore Trout called them "leaks"
When I walked out of my apartment just before the first visitor arrived, I felt like staying behind and explaining what all these things meant. Why should they get this glimpse of who I am without any context?
Once I decided to not renew my lease on my apartment, First Management scheduled several possible tenants to come look around my apartment to spark their interest. While I cleaned up my apartment—which, I admit, is almost always trashed—I realized that the visitor would get a complete view of exactly who I am without ever meeting me. The posters on my walls, all the books on my two bookshelves, my unmade bed, and the photos of my family and friends on my refrigerator all show some aspect of me.
These leaks reflect all the things that make up who I am and how I identify myself; my beliefs, which sports teams I support, my favorite films and all the ideas from the books I read. These leaks are the posters that I covered the white walls of my apartment with. And until recently, I didn't realize how much they say about me.
I wanted to tell the visitor that I support Chicago-based teams because my family originates from Chicago. I wanted to explain that I don't make my bed because I'm just going to mess it up again. I wanted to show the visitor all the books I've read and which ones are great and which are awful. I wanted to explain the family photo that clearly shows that I'm an inch taller than my sister, although I believed the opposite for several years. I wanted to explain the photo of me standing next to my Spanish teacher from my freshman year of high school, and how I haven't actually spoken to her since that photo.
I wanted to tell this visitor my life story.

But then it happened. I actually got this opportunity.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
All of a sudden, I'm extremely uncomfortable. I don't want these people to know who I am—or at least not directly. I don't want to see them judge me. I didn't want to explain all these artifacts about my life to them. I wanted them for me and me only. These leaks are for me to reflect my own life back to myself.
Each day I wake up and see Michael Jordan staring at me. I see a copy of the Kansan front page when Danny Manning and the Miracles won the national championship right next to the Kansan front page of Mario's Miracle. Don Draper and Derrick Rose watch over me as I sleep. And my whole family sits nicely smiling on my fridge.
A few days ago as I walked out of my apartment, a mother and daughter were standing at my door waiting for someone in the building to walk out of their apartment just so they could ask if they could look around. I let them in after calculating the probability of them trying to rob me and realizing that I have nothing of worth to steal—all in one millisecond. I was now watching the visitor judge all the leaks into my personal life. They were seeing exactly who I was right in front of me.
These leaks are for me to remember who I am and what I represent. Someone else can look at them, but it doesn't matter what they see. It only matters what I see.
In August, I will move out of my apartment, and these white walls will be filled with leaks into someone else's life and how they like to see themselves in the mirror.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Today is an 8
Some things are still out of reach. Focus on completing as much of the mundane work as possible now so that you can concentrate on more difficult tasks later. Elbow grease pays off.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Stick with trusted routines, and do what you know works. Handle basics: chop wood and carry water. Don't go out shopping either. Minimize risks, and build infrastructure.
PAGE 6A
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 7
An obstacle may get in the way. Use your creative powers to turn a detour into a new opportunity. You're being tested on your patience, anyway. It's not about the score.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 6
A female introduces new ideas. Peaceful interludes rejuvenate and ripple out. Long-distance deals bring surprising results, even after slight delays. Gambling is unwise.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7
Don't be afraid to ask for help, even if you feel like you don't need anybody. There's plenty to learn and improve upon, and it's better together. It's more fun, and you're done earlier. Spending isn't required.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Figure out a solution to a conflict of interests. New opportunities come from your willingness to contribute and help others. It's also satisfying.
Today is an 8
New breakdowns could arise from previous ones. This is what it looks like when you're really playing. Continue with your productivity streak, and do what there is to do. Address root causes.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
You'll discover something that you didn't notice before regarding your time management this week. Being self-sufficient helps Keeping close contact with your calendar and structures is vital.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6
Take care of your relationships,
and don't lose your temper. You
don't want to burn any bridges
that you may want to cross later.
Meditation helps, as does comedy.
Add a sense of humor.
Avoid a serious argument; it's not worth it right now. You have more interesting things to worry about. Don't stir up jealousies. Acknowledge others for their contributions.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Answer the call of the wild;
you're ready for anything. Work
out the glitches in a relationship.
Self-esteem increases as you
iron out the wrinkles. Unexpected
results are available.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6
Avoid impetuous actions. Step back to recall what worked before, and put that information to good use. Get feedback and participation from others.

FASHION
Ditch the Kansas basketball logo tags and hodies for March Madness game days. The NCAA's most coveted basketball team deserves only the most fashionable support it can get.

Sweet Sixteen requires a better fashion game

Now that we're in the Sweet 16, there's a lot of pressure. The grueling stress of choosing game day outfits has taken its toll this late in the season. It seems that almost every week, we've had to conjure up another adorable crimson and blue ensemble. Even with harsh obstacles such as snow and freezing temperatures working against us, we fought back with Hunter rain boots and faux fur vests.
Luckily for us, our school colors are a timeless pairing. Red and blue are used so often together in fashion, and it's most likely because of us. Imagine having the school colors gold and black, or worse, purple and white. It just wouldn't be the same. I sometimes shop around and wonder if the designers of the world are thinking of Kansas game days when choosing their color swatches. For instance, for years, we've seen the nautical-inspired stripe trend, and now patriotic-inspired pieces are everywhere as well. And the versatile trends are here to stay, as Tommy Hliger, Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs all continued on with red and blue bold stripes in their spring 2013 collections.
But now it's time to step up our game. The whole country is watching as March Madness marches on. It's our duty to cheer on our men's and women's basketball teams in nothing but the best. There's so much at stake, but with celebrities like Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde in our corner, we can do it.
Other ways to fashionably support the University can be with leather, denim or prints. Originally
brought onto the scene in black, leather is now being made in an assortment of bright colors for spring. Also popular right now is the Canadian tuxedo. A denim button up is the most versatile piece of clothing a guy or gal can own, and it is also conveniently blue. With a similar shade of jeans and red shoes or lipstick, you're set. Print pants are everywhere as well. If you spot blue and red patterned anything, don't let the opportunity pass.
Always remember that it's now officially spring, and even with winter-like temperatures, dressing for the right season is a must. It's a difficult time in the Jayhawk fashion world, but together as a team, we can do it.

Agent Banning (Gerard Butler) must protect the newly widowed President (Aaron Eckhart) from North Korean kidnappers in Antoine Funua's "Olvmus Has Fallen"
Action takes office in political thriller 'Olympus Has Fallen'
STEVE ROSS
By Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
In real life, the White House is one of the most secure, wellfortified locations on earth. In the movies, though, it's a sitting duck.
Director Roland Emmerich, whose fetish for demolishing national landmarks has been well documented in so-called disaster porn like "2012" and "The Day After Tomorrow," famously vaporized the Presidential mansion via interstellar death ray during "Independence Day," the 1996 alien invasion flick that remains both a visual effects landmark and the public's first glimpse of Randy Quaid's burgeoning insanity.
Since "Independence Day," the destruction of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has become a staple for filmmakers and TV showrunners hoping to simultaneously establish the severity of a threat while appealing to viewers' sense of patriotic outrage towards any enemy, real or fictional, who would dare to attack such a hallowed symbol of American power and influence. "Olympus Has Fallen," the latest film to exploit this admittedly jigoistic scenario, is an intense, well-mounted action-
thriller buoyed by a ridiculously overqualified cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo and a sadly underutilized Angela Bassett.
Our hero is Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), a secret service agent whose quick wit and encyclopedic knowledge of takedown maneuvers make him equal parts John McClane and Jack Bauer, with a dash of Clint Eastwood from "In the Line of Fire" thrown in for good measure. Haunted by his failure to save the life of the First Lady (Ashley Judd) following a car accident on an icy bridge, Banning finds himself removed from President Asher's (Aaron Eckhart) security detail and unceremonially dumped behind a desk, with nothing to look forward to but sleepless nights and a thankless retirement.
All that changes, however, when he receives word that President Asher and his cabinet are being held hostage by a band of North Korean terrorists posing as ministerial aides from Seoul. Their ringleader is Kang (Rick Yune), a nattily dressed nut job who plans to ransom the President (and our own nuclear launch codes) in exchange for the U.S. military's immediate withdrawal from the Korean Peninsula; an action he believes will spur the reunification of his homeland.
Banning, who arrives on the scene just as Kang's forces are sealing off the White House, slips
inside and begins to formulate a plan to rescue the hostages, including little Connor (Finley Jacobsen), a precocious moppet who regards Banning as a second father. One of the finer aspects of "Olympus Has Fallen" involves its handling of the Connor character, who in a lesser film would have assumed the role of Banning's gee-whiz sidekick.
Plausibility issues aside, the initial siege of the White House is an effective example of carefully ratcheted tension and quick bursts of sudden, shocking violence. The plot may seem clunky and cartoonish, but director Antoine
Fuqua knows better than to sugar-coat the particulars of a terrorist attack in Washington D.C., or the surprisingly timely threat of a war with North Korea. The action is gritty and fluidly filmed, with a refreshing disregard for shaky-cam and other obfuscating gimmickry. Here's a rare movie that proudly earns its R-rating.
Butler, an underrated presence in "Coriolanus" and "RocknRolla", gives a solid, reliably stubby performance as Banning, slinging punches and world-weary oneliners with equal aplomb. Yune, best remembered as the diamond-pimped Bond villain from "Die
Another Day," makes Kang a formidable heavy, especially when he starts coldly executing hostages (some of them Oscar winners). And only Morgan Freeman, playing a beleaguered Speaker of the House, could take a cheesy line like, "He's just opened the Gates of Hell!" and inject it with oodles of undeserved gravitas.
A lot of credit has to go to Fuqua, a filmmaker known for cop procedurals like "Training Day" and "Brooklyn's Finsest." He clearly understands the importance of putting performances first, even in the midst of millions of dollars' worth of CGI window dressing.
It will be interesting to see how "Olympus Has Fallen" stacks up against Emmerich's "White House Down," a similarly themed action movie set for release this summer. No matter the outcome, one thing is certain: our fictional presidents are destined to remain homeless for the foreseeable future.

KU Wind Ensemble records new album
ELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Wind Ensemble has ventured into the professional recording world for the fourth time.
The ensemble recently released its fourth CD, "Landscapes," on the Naxos Wind Band Classics label. The album was released March 1 and is currently available through iTunes, Amazon and the Naxos music library.
"Our students were very excited," said Paul Popiel, director of the wind ensemble. "The opportunity to record on a major label is a terrific opportunity to leave our mark on the musical world."
Popiel said the ensemble rehearsed the music on the CD for about six weeks last spring and officially recorded the tracks last April at the Lied Center. He added that the CD has a variety of music including a marimba concorde featuring University percussion professor Ji Hye lung and a piece by Aaron Copland called "Quiet City" that features
University trumpet professor Steve Leisring and oboe professor Margaret Marco.
Emily Bachert, a junior from Lawrence, talked about the new experience of a recording process and her reaction to it.
"I was relieved and had a feeling of accomplishment to be done with the recording and my first recording experience," she said. "I felt like the process strengthened me as a musician, training me to focus intensely on each musical detail and how my part blended with others."
"It was a very grueling process and very repetitive," he said, "but there was also a lot of pride in there in all the takes we did."
Pete Walker, a second year doctoral student from Terra Haute, Ind., also discussed his feelings about the recording process and the relief he felt afterwards.

Beiber sued for alleged assault
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CALABASAS, Calif. — Deputies were investigating claims made Tuesday by a neighbor that Justin Bieber attacked and threatened
him during an him in suburban Los Angeles, authorities said.
No one was arrested and few details were immediately available.
A representative of Bieber, Melissa Victor, did not immediately return a request for comment
for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"There have been allegations made against Mr. Bieber of battery and making threats," Whitmore said.
"There have been allegations made against Mr. Bieber of battery and making threats."
Online schedules indicate the "Baby" singer is in the midst of a European tour and performed a show in Poland on Monday night.
Authorities were called to the Calabasas scene just after 9 a.m., said Steve Whitmore, spokesman

It's unclear who called authorities, and whether there might have been previous problems between the 19-year-old singer and neighbors, Whitmore
said.
In recent years, the Canadian singer has been constantly chased by paparazzi while publicly morphing from an almost angelic mop-topped teen to an adult battling a bad boy image.
parazzi and lunged at one photographer as members of the singer's entourage held him back.
Last summer, he got a speeding ticket while trying to avoid a bevy of photographers on a Los Angeles freeway in his distinctive chrome Fisker Karma.
He collapsed backstage during a recent London concert and canceled a performance in Portugal.
Prosecutors decided against filing charges after the pop star was accused of kicking and punching a photographer outside a Calabasas movie theater in May 2012.
Earlier this year, an ex-bodyguard sued Bieber for alleged assault and more than $420,000 in unpaid wages. Moshe Benabou claims Bieber repeatedly punched him in the chest after an argument over the singer's entourage.
Lately, the slim singer has taken to whipping off his shirt in public places.

Wichita rapper XV answers a few questions about his future plans for coming to Lawrence as well as what he's currently working on. According to MTVcom, XV released mixtapes online until he signed a Warner Bros. contract in July 2010.
DO YOU EVER PLAN ON COMING BACK AND PERFORMING IN LAWRENCE?
XV: Of course. Whenever I plan a tour, I always try to make sure it starts in Kansas; just because I never get that hometown appreciation and love like I do in Lawrence. My first sold out show on my headline run was in Lawrence, so it's hard to not go back to the city that gave me that achievement. Plus, I'm shooting a couple of videos out there around March Madness, so look for the green backpack.
HOW MUCH OF "THE KID WITH THE GREEN BACKPACK" IS DONE? AND WHEN CAN FANS EXPECT THAT?
XV: The Kid with the Green Backpack is about 50 percent complete. Making the music is easy, but the marketing, timing, singles and strategy is a bit more stressful. That's what you get the "Wizy Zone," "Zero Heroes" and "Popular Culture" projects. So, after "Popular
Culture," all I've focused on is "The Kid with the Green Backpack," because that's all I care about anymore.
ARE YOU RELEASING ANYTHING BEFORE "THE KID WITH THE GREEN BACKPACK"?
XV: Since I don't want to lose focus on my main goal, which is my debut, I've held back from releasing any new music or projects that aren't $SOUARIAN$ related or "Kid with the Green Backpack" related. But I created
a project aside from the theme of my album, and even apart from the theme of music people are used to me making. I'm looking at releasing that on April 20. Other than that, I'll be releasing the first single from the album soon as well as continuing with the Squarian mixture volumes with Sez Batters, Freddy High and Awesome Sound. It's going to be an eventful year.

Four college girls run afoul of a drug-dealing reprobate named Allen (James Franco) in Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers."
Like the unholy brainchild of Horatio Alger and cinematic schlockmeister Russ Meyer ("Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill"), "Spring Breakers" is the story of four bikini-clad coeds who travel to St. Pete Beach in search of booze, boys and the ephemeral sense of chemical camaraderie they've mistaken for the American Dream.
Three of the girls (Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and the director's wife Rachel Korine) are interchangeable hellcats who hold up the local Chicken Shack with spray-painted squirt guns in order to finance their trip and escape the drudgeries of dorm life. The fourth and most conservative member of their hard-partying posse is the aptly named Faith (Selena Gomez), a member of a Christian youth group whose minister routinely asks, "Are you jacked up on Jesus?"
'Spring Breakers' is a riot
Every generation gets the debauded beach party movie it deserves, and ours just found its rotten little soul mate.
Franco shines in his role as a drug-dealing gangster while Gomez and Hudgens break out of the Disney mold
Imagine watching a "Girls Gone Wild" infomercial from the balcony of a glitzy art-house theater with three hits of acid boiling in your belly and you'll have a rough idea of what to expect from "Spring Breakers." Harmony Korine's latest toxic valentine to the young and the feckless. What starts as a dayglow teenybop fantasy is vexed to nightmare by the arrival of Alien (James Franco), a cornrowed, golden-grilled gangsta rapper whose pad is awash with the finest cologne, the most colorful designer shorts, the darkest tanning oil and the gaudiest of high-capacity firearms.
Once Faith and her friends hit Florida, the movie dissolves into a neon-soaked riot for the senses, where every act of deprivacy is captured with swooning liquid metal

kineticism by master cinematographer Benoit Debie, who previously culled art from *acrocity* in films like Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible" and "Enter the Void." With its elliptical dialogue and pulsing, ethereal imagery, parts of the film border on the impressionistic, as "Drive" composer Cliff Martinez's synth-heavy score laces every scene with a snarling undercurrent of nebulous menace.
After a pre-dawn drug bust lands them before a judge who refuses to let them change out of their tattered swimwear, the girls are bailed out by Alien, who takes them back to his crib, a gangster's paradise where the mattress is lined with Benjamins, the Kool-Aid is always blue and "Scarface" plays on a constant loop. This leads to the so-to-be-classic "Look at my sheyeti" monologue where Alien implores his new houseguests to admire his many belongings, a largely improvised riff that singlehandedly makes up for Franco's botched co-hosting of the Oscars back in 2011.
Alien wants to enlist the girls as soldiers for the coming war against his ex-BFF and fellow drug dealer Archie (Gucci Mane, in his feverishly anticipated big screen debut). They agree, and the rest of "Spring Breakers" oscillates wildly between stoner comedy and gonzo gangster drama, as the girls spend their days disrupting Archie's business (with the aid of assault rifles and hot pink ski masks) and their nights being
serenaded by Alien, whose skills as a pianist seem to begin and end with the collected works of Britney Spears. To be fair, though, he does manage to turn the pop star's 2004 single "Everytime" into the haunting accompaniment for a series of increasingly brutal strong-arm robberies.
Gomez and Hudgens, both former Disney Channel stars, are clearly eager to burst out of their squeaky-clean shackles, but Franco is the film's real standout. His Alien comes off like the degenerative spawn of real-life rapper Riff Raff and Gary Oldman's deranged, dreadlocked pimp from "True Romance." After his oddly joyless performance in "Oz the Great and Powerful," it's nice to see the actor operating firmly outside of his comfort zone, inhabiting a character who couldn't be more different from his own carefully cultivated "pretentious goofball" persona.
Korine, the polarizing provocateur behind "Kids," "Gummo" and a slew of other disquieting portraits of youth in revolt, has reached a new level of commercial appeal with the release of "Spring Breakers," which enjoyed a healthy nationwide gross of nearly $5 million (the only modest thing about the film is its budget). But that's not to say the director has lost his edge. If anything, mainstream exposure has only served to mainline his unique brand of hypnotically amoral exhibitionism.
Or to put it in Allen-speaks "Spring break forever, bitches!"

Facebook statuses lead to potential relationship stress
CAROLINE ATKINSON editor@kansan.com
Austin Pulse, a sophomore from Overland Park, logged into his Facebook, flooded with status updates on his newsfeed. One post read, "Don't play a game with a girl who can play them better! Yes I'm talking about you, fool with a winky face at the end." Pulse sighed and kept scrolling to "Thanks for the broken heart, RBD.<3.."
"I don't want to read all about your tragic love life," he said. "I feel bad for whoever the status is about because I'm sure people know who it is."
A recent study conducted by Juwon Lee, a Ph.D. student in psychology at the University, suggested that over-sharing on Facebook can have negative effects in a relationship.
"If you put something online, it's not really exclusive to your partner," Lee said. "It may cause your partner to feel less special or become jealous because other people are seeing it."
Lee said online and offline disclosures are different because people tend to reveal more online to a broad audience, while offline is usually face-to-face.
The study said that revealing more personal information online led to less satisfaction and intimacy for the other partner because he or she felt there was little privacy between them.
"It's interesting because, traditionally in social psychology, self-disclosure has been seen as the facilitator of relationships," Lee said, "so the more people tend to disclose to one another the closer they tend to feel."
"If I'm dating someone," Pulse said, "I want them to come to me personally and tell me why they're upset, instead of making an obvious post about it on the Internet for everyone to see."
Pulse agreed that relationships lose trust and exclusivity when one partner exposes too much information online.
Tess Hoerle, a junior from Eden Prairie, Minn., said she usually
sees relationship-revealing statuses when someone is in a fight or recently broken up with their partner.
"It is kind of funny to see their status say 'I love you so much, baby, forever and always', and then two days later it says 'I hate you so much! My life is ruined now... We're over!" Hoerle said.
Hoerle admitted that she has put up a passive-aggressive status to "grind someone's gears" before, but now understands it does everything but help a relationship.
Both Pulse and Hoerle recommended staying away from revealing too much information on Facebook, regardless of what it is about. They agreed that no problem can be better solved than through face-to-face communication.
"Facebook was almost like a gossip wall in high school," she said, "so it didn't really seem taboo to spill your guts to the whole world, even though it was only directed at one person."
— Edited by Megan Hinman
"it's hard for a monk to shave his own head," Lee said. The popular Korean proverb was fitting in acknowledging that it isn't easy knowing what to post and what not to post to the public, so she laid out a few guidelines for disclosing information on Facebook.
DO POST ABOUT POSITIVE THINGS
TIPS TO POST BY
"It can actually have a positive effect between you and your partner" because it shows you appreciate them. Posting things about something sweet your boyfriend or girlfriend did for you will make him or her feel like they make you happy.
DON'T TALK ABOUT YOURSELF ALL THE TIME
Being self-centered won't appeal to your boyfriend or girlfriend. "Your partner might feel excluded or forgotten if you don't mention him or her at all, Lee said. "It doesn't have to be something negative about your partner to have negative effects in your relationship." Make an effort to lower the amount of personal updates and put up more about your partner.
DO BE DISCREET
The more selective you are, the better. "If you're going to disclose information, make sure you're choosing what's appropriate to put up and what your partner may or may not like," Lee said. There are certain expectations in relationships, and exclusivity is important to keep a special bond with your loved one.
DON'T USE FACEBOOK AS A DIARY
"Disclosing information online can have really positive effects on yourself, but not necessarily on your relationship," Lee said. "Keep in mind that whatever you post may affect your relationship negatively."

Brellas' Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap is in the running to win the Cooking Channel's college food bracket. The wrap defeated Syracuse University's Cosmos' Toasted Honey Bun and will continue on to the Elite 8. The winner is decided by online voting which begins today on the cooking channel website.
Campus staple gets TV time
HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Brella's in the Underground at Wescoe Hall is notorious for its Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap. The wrap is so popular, it was chosen as the best college eat for the University in the Cooking Channel's Bracket Battle: Best College Eats.
The Cooking Channel's battle of the country's best college eats is an imitation of the NCAA March Madness tournament. They chose 32 dishes from colleges around the country and set them up against each other. There were three qualifications for the dishes: they had to be near the college campus, they had to be a staple for students and they had to be absolutely awesome.
The University's first opponent was Iowa State and its VEISHEA Cherry Pies. The Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap from Brellas' beat Iowa State's cherry pies by 353 votes. That victory advanced the University to the Sweet 16, facing Syracuse and its Cosmos' Toasted Honey Buns.
The Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap knocked out Syracuse's honey
buns by 920 votes, leading us to the Elite Eight of recipes.
Laura Windram, a junior from Eden Prairie, Minn., first tried the Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap her freshman year because her RA told her it was so good, she had to. She said that she wanted to keep getting them as soon as she tried it.
"It's a really interesting combination of food." Windram said.
For students who haven't tried the wrap before, it consists of chopped chicken tenders, cheddar and monterey jack cheese, sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce and fat-free ranch, all wrapped up in a jaleeno cheddar tortilla.
Jason Gorman, a senior from Milwaukee, Wisc., tasted the Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap for the first time in 2010. He said even though it's not the healthiest choice, it's his go-to lunch because it tastes good and has a good combination of everything.
"The ingredients always seem pretty fresh," Gorman said, "and they serve it all over campus."
Our opponent in the Elite Eight is Marquette University. Our recipe faces Marquette's Real Chills' The
Marquette. It's a bowl of spaghetti topped with beef chili, chopped onions and piles of cheddar cheese and sour cream. Marquette beat Fordham University's Pugsley Pizza's Chicken Rolls by 4,511 votes in the Sweet 16.
To keep the University in the tournament, students can vote online on the Cooking Channel's website. The Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap currently has 683 votes, and Marquette has 649 votes. Polls are open now and will close March 31 at 2 p.m.

COMMENTARY Time for Kansas fans to forgive
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Three hundred wins later, it's time to forgive Roy Williams. How long does it take to get over a breakup?
Six months? One year? Five years?
For some Kansas fans, not even 10 years has been enough.
When current North Carolina coach Roy Williams left the Kansas program in 2003, the heart got ripped out of Jayhawk Nation. The breakup was public, and it was nasty. If Kansas was Justin Timberlake, then Roy Williams was Britney Spears.
However, keeping with the Justin Timberlake metaphor (a phrase I never thought I'd write in a sports column), Timberlake has since risen to unexpected heights. He has multiple Emmys for hosting Saturday Night Live, a clothing line, multiple platinum records and a decently successful acting career. To top things off, he married Jessica Biel.
Meanwhile, Kansas found Bill Self, Kansas, for lack of a better phrase, "Justin Timberlaked." It was only after a messy breakup that the Jayhawks truly began to take flight.
When Self arrived in 2003, the proud program seemed shaken. Senior stalwarts Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich just graduated. The future stars of the program were disgruntled. Speaking about Williams, Wayne Simien notably said, "I literally gave my right arm for that man," referencing playing through a shoulder injury. The locker room had no interest in a new coach. That is, until the players began to understand Bill Self and his philosophy.
However, what Williams has done for North Carolina's program since leaving Kansas is moot. It is what Bill Self has done that is important.
That's not to say that Roy Williams has remained faithful to his Britney Spears role. Instead of shaving his head and marrying a back-up dancer, Williams has won two championships and made an additional Final Four. The added boost Williams gets from recruiting to the East Coast has obviously helped him. And the fact that he has experienced the kind of success he was never able to bring to Kansas is a notable cause of some of the vitial.
Kansas is better off with Bill Self Winning cures all ills. Williams' Kansas teams were always in contention, but often lacked the toughness, defense and high basketball IQ of Self's teams. These weaknesses prevented the Jayhawks from ever winning a title.
Ten years is enough to heal the wounds. Kansas basketball has moved on.
It's time for all fans to do the same.
Self quickly began to transfer his toughness and moxie to his players on the court. He recruited hard-nosed players without promising them immediate playing time. Rather, he promised development as a player and a person.
Despite Kansas' current success, Kansas fans still find it difficult to forgive Williams for his transgressions. The boos directed at him in Kansas City were not as overpowering as the ones LeBron James withstood during his first visit back to Cleveland, but they were still indicative of a fan base that has not completely moved on.
In the meantime, Self has won 300 games and counting in 10 years, including the national championship in 2008. In that same time span, Kentucky has 262 wins, Duke has 293, and Williams' North Carolina has 282.

EFFICIENT ENGELMAN
Senior guard provides a spark for women's basketball team
Senior guard Monica Engelman dribbles past a Prairie View A&M opponent on her way to the basket in Sunday's game at Allen Fieldhouse.
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Monica Engelman sat at the press conference inside Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday afternoon flanked by her two fellow senior teammates, 5-foot-4 guard Angel Goodrich on her right and 6-foot-3 forward Carolyn Davis on her left.
About 17 hours earlier in Boulder, Colo., Engelman dropped a career-high 27 points on the No. 4-seed South Carolina Gamecocks, leading the way to a 74-69 Kansas victory that earned them its second straight trip to the sweet 16.
"I was just trying to play and stay aggressive," Engelman said the night before. "And do what I needed to do to get us the win."
It's been no secret that Henrickson wants Engelman to be aggressive and look to score. There was no hesitation from Engelman when she caught the ball against South Carolina.
She was 2-for-3 from behind the arc. She scored at the rim. She drained mid-range shots and did everything else her coach wanted to see from her.
"Huge, huge, huge," Henrickson said of Engelman's contribution. "She's got a little good bounce to her right now."
Engelman realizes how important her scoring can be to the team, and how much it influenced the way her teammates play.
"I needed to be aggressive," Engelman said after the game. "And it gets contagious, and when my teammates are aggressive, and we're doing what we need to do as a team then it makes me feel better as a basketball player and do what I need to do."
Of the 27 points scored by Engelman, 18 of them were scored in the first half to ignite a 42-point
second half against one of the top defensive teams in women's college basketball.
It's clear that Engelman is an important piece in the Kansas scoring attack, but Henrickson pointed out that it's more than just her scoring ability that helped the Jayhawks reach the sweet 16.
"Other than making shots the other night she's guarded better," Henrickson said. "She's been able to keep people in front of her. We switch everything, we've switched matchups for her to guard some of
the better guys. I think for Moni, this has been her best year on the defensive end."
This year for Engelman has been one of growth and maturity.
Her game has grown, but so have her attitude on the court and her role on the team as a leader. Her teammates and coaches have noticed.
that role and we're proud of her."
"She's done a lot for us this year." Goodrich said of Engelman. "Her role has changed. She's embraced that a lot this year. Being a leader, being a senior, she really taken on
Engelman gave credit to Goodrich for her scoring, immediately following the game and at the press conference the following day in Lawrence. Without Goodrich, Engelman said she couldn't have done it.
"For me, [senior guard] Angel (Goodrich] made it easy," Engelman said. "She's a great point guard, and she can push the ball, so it makes everyone else run and spread the floor. and we were able to get easy buckets in transition."
Engelman and the Jayhawks understand the challenge that lies ahead of them with No. 2 ranked Notre Dame. The Irish have only lost once in 34 games this season, and that was to Big 12 champion and defending national champion Baylor, who also defeated Notre Dame in last season's national championship game.
Engelman says she tries not to put too much pressure on herself, and with the Jayhawks making another surprise run to the sweat 16 she says her teammates and her are having fun with their role as the Cinderella team in March once again.
"I'ts more fun," Engelman said. "Not a lot of people expect you to win or don't have high expectations for you, so to prove them wrong makes a win all that much sweeter."
Engelman scored just eight points over the three game tournament run for the Jayhawks last season.
Davis and Goodrich have been on the All-Big 12 teams, they have been recognized for their individual talents as candidates for the Wade award.
There may have been times when Engelman has been overlooked during her four year career at Kansas, but this is not one of them and coach Henrickson made sure of it.
"I don't overlook her," Henrickson said. "I think there is room for three great players in a program. The thing for her, from a confidence stand point, she's worked to get herself back. It's been well documented that she struggled last year, but we're all so proud of her to be able to pull herself up by the boot straps and get it right. She's a big reason we are where we are right now."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Determination keeps team dancing
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
The women's basketball team returned victorious to Lawrence after an improbable weekend of upsets.
On Saturday, the No. 12 seeded Kansas Jayhawks knocked off the No. 5 Colorado Buffaloes on their home court in Boulder, Colo. Then on Monday, the team continued to make noise as they knocked off No. 4 seeded South Carolina as the Jayhawks became the second 12-seed to advance to the Sweet 16.
The Jayhawks have been led by a senior trio of Angel Goodrich, Monica Engelman and Carolyn Davis, and they all love playing as the underdogs because “it's more fun.”
"Not a lot of people expect you to win or don't have high expectations for you," Engelman said, after dropping a career-high 27 points in Monday's upset. "So to prove them wrong, makes a win all that much sweeter."
How does a team that was one of the last four to enter the tournament and lost seven of 11 games, manage to pull off not one, but two upsets in a span of 48 hours?
Quite simply. The Jayhawks treated the tournament like a 'new season', taking the experience
from previous struggles and turning them into positives.
"We took good things that we did and bad things and made some adjustments to those, and we've been working really hard so we make sure we nipped those things in the butt," Engelman said.
"Anything can happen," Engelman said. "For us, we tried to separate. This is a completely different season. We weren't going to let how we played in the Big 12 determine how we play here. I think having to play in the Big 12 and having the ups and downs that we did, I think it's prepared us for what we need, what we have to do, to be successful in this tournament."
Engelman said the NCAA tournament was a time to get to business and not worry about what happened in Big 12 play.
Even with the struggles from the end of the Big 12 season, the goal for the team never once changed.
"I think we've always had the goal of going back," said Davis, who is playing in her first Sweet 16 after being injured last season. "Especially after experiencing it. The years before, it was our goal, but we never got there so it was like a far out goal. We knew we could make the NIT, but could we really make the tournament? But
after last year and making it and doing it, it gave us more motivation to keep trying."
With the back-to-back games last weekend, sleep deficiency became a issue. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she didn't sleep much on the bus because of how excited she was after defeating two higher seeded teams.
Henrickson said it finally sunk in that her Jayhawks were going back to the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.
The way they accomplished the feat makes it feel like déjà vu, but even with that, Goodrich said it's still great to be a part of.
"It was exciting then and it's exciting now. With Carolyn back and everything, it's fun. To advance and survive. Some teams aren't still playing so for us to continue to keep playing, it's really breathtaking."
"I mean we're excited we got to the next game, but we aren't content," Engelman said. "We're still hungry and want to push forward."

wrong. Quickly, a team game can turn into a solo in which the spotlight shines brightest on the player who makes a mistake.
Maybe he missed the shot or he committed the ominous foul, but this year, Kansas has been able to overcome mistakes in guard play and subsequently has turned the backcourt into a strength.
Eliiah Johnson, Naadir Tharpe and Travis Releford are averaging 10.1 assists to 6 turnovers per game going into Friday's match-up against Michigan. Only plus four assists is not that impressive as a whole, but when you consider how the Jayhawk backcourt was playing on Feb. 6 against TCU when Johnson, Releford and Tharpe combined for seven assists and six turnovers, it starts to

sound a lot better.
The difference? Naddy Ice. That is what I tell at my TV when I see Tharpe hit a step-back three or drop a nice little dime through a defender's legs. His stoic presence and confidence has rubbed off on the Kansas guards. Not convinced by my corny nickname? Let's look at some numbers.
The next game after that impressive
loss was a tough road game in Norman, Okla., against a solid Sooner squad that locked down a broken Jayhawk team for a 72-66 loss. Kansas then goes home to host Kansas State and Bill Self puts Tharpe in to run the point at the five minute mark, and Johnson continues to struggle, but eight Tharpe assists (and one turnover) later, Benny Mac has 30 points and the Wildcats see their second loss of the season at the hands of the Jayhawks.
Texas next visits Lawrence to see the show, and by this point, Johnson feels comfortable as he has 12 points and four assists with one turnover. Kansas wins by 26 points, and with the rotation set, Kansas rattles off six more wins.
KU
Since the five-minute mark of the second K-State game, the Jaiyawk backcourt has been a threat, and if the trio of Johnson, Leeford and Tharpe can continue to mesh with, say, 15 or so points from McLemore, then Kansas is a legitimate threat to cut down the net in April.

Nationals third baseman readies for season after injury setback
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIERA, Fla. — Ryan Zimmerman has already told Nationals manager Davey Johnson that he needs only 50 at-bats in spring training to be ready for the regular season.
Washington's third baseman, who had 48 at-bats coming into Wednesday's game against Atlanta, homered three times to lead a split squad of Nationals to an 11-2 win over the Braves.
"I guess as soon as Zim gets his 50 at-bats, he's ready," Johnson joked.
Zimmerman wasn't the only one to go deep for the Nationals, who got a pair of home runs from catcher Wilson Ramos and another from Tyler Moore. Four of Washington's six homers came against reliever Daniel Rodriguez, who gave up eight runs in two-plus innings.
three-run shot.
Both of Ramos' home runs came against Rodriguez, and both were on the first pitch. The second was a
Ramos and Zimmerman each had four RBIs.
Washington Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman runs the bases after hitting a home run during the fifth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, March 27 in Viera, Fla.
Zimmerman led off the fourth inning with a home run against Rodriguez, led off the fifth with one off Christian Martinez and then hit a two-run shot against Dusty Hughes in the seventh.
W
"I hit the ball good," Zimmerman said. "I'm starting to feel better. It's nice to start getting going."
The Nationals have one game left in Viera on Thursday against the New York Mets before heading to Washington D.C. for an exhibition game against the Yankees on Friday. They open the season Monday at home against Miami.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
While a number of teams have had competition for positions throughout the spring, the Nationals have pretty much known what their opening day roster will look like.
what we were doing last year. .. We have a good team. We just have to keep getting better."
"We've pretty much known all spring what our team is," Zimmerman said. "It's almost the exact same as last year. It's kind of an advantage for us because we get to use this time to get back to doing
Zimmerman may be on track for opening day, but Atlanta catcher Gerald Laird admittedly needed some work after being slowed earlier this spring by a calf injury.
Laird and teammate Evan Gatts hit back-to-back home runs off Washington starter Ross Detwiler in the sixth innning.
"I'm starting to feel good at the right time." Lard said.
It was Laird's second game in a row, but only his 12th of the spring. He has had just 25 at-bats.
"I'm going to try to catch tomorrow, too, so I can go three in a row." Laird said. "It was nice to get back out there and try to get your timing going. The first day, you're kind of excited. .. It was a good all-around day."
Ramiro Pena had three hits for the Braves.
Moore, who followed Ramos' first homer with one of his own, was starting in place of Bryce
Harper, who did not even take batting practice to rest his injured left thumb.
Harper was jammed with a pitch in Tuesday's game against Miami. He had originally experienced pain and swelling in the thumb after getting jammed with a pitch March 22 against Detroit.
The left fielder, who is batting 476 this spring, has reached base in his last 10 plate appearances.
He told reporters Wednesday he would have been able to play if it were a regular-season game.
As it stands, though, Harper's status is up in the air for the final two games — Thursday in Viera and Friday in D.C. — as a precaution before the season opener.
"Whenever you get jammed, it hurts." Harper said. "(Tuesday), I got jammed a little bit. It hurt pretty bad. I woke up this morning and it felt fine. It's just a matter of getting through it and playing through it. I don't think it's going to hold me down or anything. I have a pretty high pain tolerance."
Harper experienced a similar situation in his first season at Class-A Hagerstown, but said this injury isn't nearly as severe. He has been wearing a foam pad on his thumb during batting practice, and may be forced to wear it during a game.

The pep band preforms at the Big 12 Tournament on March 15. Thirty members of the pep band travel with the men's basketball team to play during the tournament.

As game time approaches in the Fieldhouse, they raise their instruments and prepare to deliver the first few notes of their trademark song, "Sounds of Summer."

"There is as much a battle of the bands as there is a battle on the court between the teams."
new crowds and a slightly different job.
"We go from being the entertainment in the Fieldhouse to being the student section for tournament games," Colin Lohrenz said.
Lohrenz, a Lawrence senior, plays tenor trombone for the band. Growing up in Lawrence, he watched as fellow high school classmates gained national exposure during games when they came to play at the University. He followed suit and joined the basketball pep band to mix two of his biggest interests: music and sports.
on distance and focus.
Members of the Marching Jayhawks are able to audition for the pep band before the season starts. While most of the members play together at home games, only 30 members are selected to travel with the team to tournament games based on a point system relating to attendance and section seat placement.
"We usually try not to distract the team and staff if we are fortunate to travel with the team," Lohrenz said. "We've run into the players hanging out around the tournament sites. Kevin Young is always fun to catch up with."
However, it's a relationship built
"The players and coaches usually say hi, but they have a job to do and so do we," said Marina Hague, a junior from Overland Park who plays trumpet.
"We travel with them, but we don't really interact," drummer Chris Carter said. "I think the players and coaches appreciate what we do, but they don't really acknowledge it. They've got more important things to do."
CHRIS CARTER
Pep band drummer
Carter, a junior from Lawrence, was drawn to the band because of his strong musical upbringing. He began playing piano at age three and drums at 13. Thanks to his
"My drum teacher was actually the drummer in the band at the time," he said, "so from the moment I started playing drums, I wanted to be in the basketball band."
Aside from having months to memorize the music and a few rehearsals in the weeks leading up to it, Carter and Hague said they were comfortable going into the Big 12 tournament.
love for Kansas basketball, Allen Fieldhouse and Travis Barker of Blink-182, he was determined to be a part of the basketball band.
Lohrenz the band has a few unorthodox preparation methods to bring the energy before tournament games.
"We know the music, we know the drill, we perform." Hague said.
"We approach each game with the same expectations as we do for any other," Carter said. "That way, when we get to a big game, we're already pretty confident that were going to look and sound great."
The country watches as the rivalries unfold on the court, but Carter said the competition extends
"We have a couple of rituals we have to do, including hog-calling and drinking a lot of cafeine to get us jacked," he said.
beyond that.
"There is as much a battle of the bands as there is a battle on the court between the teams," he said. "We want to prove KU has the best team on the court and the best band off of it. So, we play our best and bring our energy to really amp the place up."
As any Kansas basketball fan knows, tournament time is a frenzy of emotion. As the action escalates, the band must stay in sync with the energy of the game and the crowd while simultaneously concentrating on the music.
"The intensity fuels our fire" Stephen Meiller, a junior from Norman, Okla., who plays mellophone said.
"I actually think close or difficult games improve the band's energy level and playing," he said. "When we know the team needs our help, we take it up a notch."
"That's when the good pep bands really separate themselves from the others," Carter said. "A good pep band can take the energy from the stadium and amplify it for their fans, while a bad pep band can kill the energy of a stadium by playing a song at the wrong time."
Philip Kaul, a freshman from De Soto, said the band benefits from the excitement of power-packed games.
In his first year with the band, Kaul has only had the experience of tournament play close to home at the Sprint Center. He said the change of venue to Arlington, Texas for the Sweet 16 is something he is looking forward to.
"The Big 12 Tournament was a great experience," he said. "There is definitely a different atmosphere than games at the Phog because no venue in the country can compare to that, but Kansas City is close enough, that is almost a de facto home game."
Although a win is desirable, no matter what the score is at the end of the final buzzer, the band is unconditionally supportive.
"Our job is to cheer on the team and provide a great atmosphere," Hague said. "We are huge fans, so we just do our thing and play music."

JOSEPH DAUGHERTY

After 28 road games and a home opener cancellation, the Kansas softball team will finally get to play a series at home.
The Jayhawks will host the No. 8 Texas Longhorns in a three-game
series this weekend. This marks the opening of Big 12 play for the Jayhawks as well as the first series at home for the team. The Jayhawks are nearly two weeks removed from the last time

"We need to focus on what we need to do, and we do be successful."
they took the field in The Capital Classic in Sacramento. The team finished the Capital Classic with a 2-2 record making it 21-7 on the year. But with two weeks off, the inevitable debate of rest versus rust will creep in. Coach Megan Smith thinks the rest will be a good thing for the team.

MEGAN SMITH
SOFTBALL COACH
texas is batting .331 as a team and only allowing its opponents to hit .180 on the season. The Texas lineup has eight players with a batting average higher than .300, and its pitching staff is led by senior Blaire Luna, who is 15-1 on the season with an ERA of 1.11. Luna earned National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America Second Team honors in 2010 and 2011, was named to the 2012 Easton All-America Second Team, and was a two-time USA Softball National Player of the Year Top-10 finalist, along with numerous other accolades in her career.
The Longhorn potent offense along with its strong pitching staff will pose a challenge for the Jayhawks this weekend. Smith believes that it is going to be a challenge because the Jayhawks will be facing one of the best offenses in the country and best pitching staffs in the country. The Jayhawks come into the Big 12 opener still leading the NCAA in batting average, hitting .383 on the season.
"We need to focus on what we need to do, and we do to be successful." Smith said. "When our pitchers are throwing well, they hit their spots, they mix their speeds, and offensively, when we are good, we swing at our pitches and control the at-bats; that is when we're successful."
Texas has won 11 of the last 13 matchups with Kansas, being nationally ranked in 11 of those matchups. The last time Kansas beat the Longhorns was April 13, 2008. Texas has a record of 12-1 versus Kansas in Austin, but the Jayhawks hold a slight edge in Lawrence with a 10-9 record.

Rowing team to host only home event of regular season

sliang@kansan.com
The Kansas rowing team is set to face Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown Saturday in Kansas City, Kan. This is the rowing team's only home event except for the Big 12 Championship.
The nine seniors on the team, Danielle Adam, Olivia Catloth, Katy Evans, Eileen Gallagher, Olivia Kinet, Katy MacCormack, Ashlyn Midyet, Emily Starr and Cheyenne Verdoorn, will be honored.
The Jayhawks have already faced the Wildcats this season.
On March 9, the two teams met in a dual at the Oklahoma Invite. That dual started with Kansas State winning the Novice Eight race, but it was all Kansas after that. The Jayhawks won the Second Varsity Four, Varsity Four, Second Varsity Eight and the Varsity Eight races.
After that dual, coach Rob Catloth said the team wants to go into the rematch with a mental edge, and the performance from the Oklahoma Invite will not hurt the team's confidence.
This Saturday, the teams will compete in five races starting at 10 a.m. with the Novice Four. Following that race at 10:15 a.m. is
the Novice Eight and 15 minutes after that is Varsity Four. At 10:45 a.m. the teams will race in the Second Varsity Eight. The Sunflower Showdown concludes at 11 a.m. with the First Varsity Eight race.
The Sunflower Showdown, once called the Kansas Cup, started in 1998. The teams have met 15 times before, with Kansas State having an edge in the record 8-7. The Wildcats have also won the last two Sunflower Showdowns.
The Sunflower Showdown is March 30 at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan., at 10 a.m.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Michigan freshman adds depth, helps in frontcourt
ASSOCIATE PRESS
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There are times when Mitch McGary gives his coach no choice but to pause and maybe take a deep breath before speaking.
After a season of working with the 6-foot-10 freshman, John Beilein understands the drill.
"I've learned to wait for a minute count to five before I
— and that says something on a team that includes point guard Trey Burke, a national player of the year candidate.
"That's Mitch McGary — he brings intensity to this game and his kind of like our X-factor," Burke said. "He's the guy that gives us the spark and makes our engine run in the frontcourt."
Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Glenn Robinson III can hurt teams
Beilein's patience was rewarded last
"I've learned to wait for a minute almost count to five before I try and address him after he does something either good or bad."
JOHN BEILEIN
MICHIGAN COACH
weekend, when McGary had 21 points and 14 rebounds in Michigan's 78-53 victory over Virginia Commonwealth. The Wolverines reached the NCAA tournament's round of 16 for the first time since 1994, and although their stellar guard play was crucial in handling VCU's pressure, it was McGary's presence inside that the Rams had no answer for.
The 250-pound big man shot 10 of 11 from the field. It was one of the best individual performances by a Michigan player this season
with their athleticism and unselfish passing, but the Wolverines are largely a finesse team. McGary brings a different element. Like the proverbial bull in a chicken shop he
bounces around the court, setting screens, positioning himself for rebounds and chasing loose balls.
Throughout his coaching career, Beilein's teams have been smart, fundamentally sound groups that space the floor well on offense and beat opponents with both skill and savvy. When McGary is on the court, nobody seems to know what he'll do next.
Whether he was scoring on putbacks or flattening somebody with a pick Saturday, McGary added a physicality that his teammates
don't always play with.
"I was just able to get open looks when they would attack the ball," McGary said. "Trey and Tim would find the open man and we would attack the basket."
McGary, Robinson and Nik Stauskas are the most prominent members of a freshman class that has contributed all season for Michigan, but McGary has only started four games and needs to avoid foul trouble to be effective.
Still, he leads the Wolwerines at 5.9 rebounds per game despite averaging only 18.4 minutes. When Jordan Morgan struggled coming back from an ankle injury, McGary was put in the starting lineup for the team's NCAA tournament opener against South Dakota State.
Against VCU, the Wolverines did a good job handling the ball against pressure, and the Rams didn't seem ready to deal with McGary around the basket.
"I was just getting open looks. Trey and Tim and Glenn, they were all feeding me and everybody was just feeding off the energy." McGary said. "So it built. I'm honored to be starting, but at the same time I know I have to start or come off the bench and bring the same energy."
Michigan is hoping McGary has taken a permanent step forward, but the next test will be a tough one. The fourth-seeded Wolverines play Friday against top-seeded Kansas and 7-footer Jeff Withey.

SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN
Looking for a conference win
TYLER CONOVER

For the Kansas tennis team, this weekend's match up against No. 50 Kansas State just got a bit more important. As of Wednesday morning, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 74 and had an 8-3 (0-1) record.
However, when the team takes the court Saturday at 1 p.m. against the Wildcats, the Jayhawks will need to be looking to get more than just interstate bragging rights. A conference victory will be of at least equal importance. If Kansas hopes to win the Big 12, starting 0-3 in conference is not the way to do it.
K-State has a 6-10 record and is also 0-2 in Big 12 play, and while that record looks unimpressive, it is not the one that matters most. 4-0 is the record that shouts the loudest. That is K-State's record in the last four meetings between the two, and the Wildcats have won eight of the last 11.
In order for Kansas to break the four-game losing streak, the team will need to get back to its winning ways in doubles play.
Like most things in life, that feat is easier said than done as K-State boasts the No. 37 ranked doubles duo in Petra Niedermayerova and Karla Bonacic. While K-State has highly ranked players, the Jayhawks duo of Paulina Los and Maria Belen Ludueña have nine wins in 12 doubles matches this spring.

Singles play on Saturday is shaping into the main attraction a K-State has the No. 11 singles player in Niedermayerowa, but Kansas just got back from a road trip to Oklahoma State in which Maria Jose Cardona beat the No. 60 ranked singles player in the country, Malika Rose, (6-4, 3-6, 10-8). Also during that trip, freshman Anastasia Jaquila Trubica lost her second match of the spring. Look for her to bounce back, after her first loss, she got a win in her next

The winner of the match will earn its first Big 12 win of the year, and for Kansas it would break a four game winning streak by K-State.

After coming off a road trip in which the Jayhawk tennis team won all three of its matches, Kansas traveled to Stillwater, Okla., on Wednesday to take on No. 25 Oklahoma State.
This trip, however, did not end in victory. The team lost 6-1—its fourth loss of the spring season—and in the process, got swept in doubles play for just the second
time all spring. Kansas won at least two of three in its last three matches in double play.
The lone point of Wednesday's match came from freshman Maria Jose Cardona. She needed three sets to best the No. 60 ranked singles player in the country, Malika Rose, a senior from OSU (6-4, 3-6, 10-8). Also, for only the second time of the spring, freshman Anastasija Trubica lost a singles match.
Other than the victory by Cardona, the only bright spot of the road trip was the experience Kansas received from playing a highranked team on the road.
The loss leaves Kansas with an 8-4 record and will likely take away the jayhawks recently earned ranking in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association polls Kansas went into the match rank of No. 74.

Wichita State's Malcolm Armstead shoot to shoot during practice for a West Regional semifinal game in the NCAA basketball tournament in Los Angeles, Wednesday, March 27. Wichita State is scheduled to play La Salle Thursday.
La Salle, WSU not mid-major
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Wichita State and La Salle busted a few brackets with their early wins in the NCAA tournament. Now they're in the final 16 and playing a short drive from Hollywood. Just don't script their matchup as a meeting of underdogs.
These guys think they've got a lot of credibility, even if large chunks of the country didn't pay them any attention until now.
The ninth-seeded Shockers (28-8) and No. 13 Explorers (24-9) meet in the second West Regional semifinal on Thursday night at Staples Center, where Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and Blake Griffin of the Clippers can usually be found changing outcomes with last-second jumpers or highlight-reel dunks.
"The beautiful thing about the NCAA tournament is to see great teams that you don't see every night and to see different players that you might see some day at the next level," La Salle coach John Giannini said.
Ramon Galloway of La Salle couldn't resist creating some of his own NBA-style moves at the end of Wednesday's open practice. The senior guard, one of four Philadelphia-bred players on the team, showed off what he called "dunk-contest dunks."
"When the game time comes, if I can get a fast break, hopefully I can show the world what I can

"We didn't have that support all year," Galloway said. "When you do stuff and people get to see you, then they actually praise you. I'm just glad that we've got the opportunity to play on national television, in front of everybody, so everybody can see what La Salle stands for."
And the Explorers will have to beat another one to continue their tournament road trip that began 2,754 miles ago in Dayton, Ohio, where they won a play-in game against Boise State to get into the NCAAs. Then they took out Kansas State and Mississippi by a combined four points in Kansas City, and haven't been back to Philly since.
do," he said.
“If we would have gone home, we might have lost focus just enough to slip up a little bit,” guard Tyreek Duren said.
Indeed, their city has embraced the team. The 76ers posted a good luck message for the Explorers on the video board at Wednesday night's game that was greeted with an ovation.
The Explorers and the Shockers have proud pasts in the tournament; they occurred just long enough ago to have fallen off the current radar. La Salle was the 1954 national champion; Wichita State made the 1965 Final Four.
The Shockers did return home after their upset of No.1 seed Gonzaga last weekend.
"We're not rags to riches," said Giannini, whose Ph.D. in kinesiology earned him the title of Dr. in front of his name. "Maybe people are surprised we won three in a row. But we've beaten good teams all year."
"The community was very excited,
but it was just a regular basketball game for us," guard Malcolm Armstead said. "It proved a lot to the country and also to ourselves, but it was just something that we had to do."
La Salle plays in front of a few thousand at its home games; Wichita State draws more than 10,000. The Shockers travel by private plane to their away games and coach Gregg Marshall hops one on recruiting trips.
"Instead of a school bus, they're more like Ferraris and Jaguars," he said. "They go pretty fast."
In between coaching his team, Marshall is practically moonlighting for the chamber of commerce "spreading the good word about Wichita and Wichita State University" as he put it.
No more so than for Ron Baker, a freshman guard whose 16 points, including four 3-pointers, helped the Shockers beat Gonzaga. He returned for the Missouri Valley Conference tournament after missing 21 games with a left foot injury.
"We've had our share of great basketball" he said, ticking off famous players like Dave Stallworth, Xavier McDaniel and Antoine Carr. "It's all coming together for us again."
La Salle will get some size back and rebounding help when 6-foot-11 center Steve Zack returns Thursday after missing the previous six games with a sprained foot.
"I've said many times if Ron Baker were a stock, you better get in now," Marshall said.
"He can play if he feels well enough and we put him in there," Giannini said, "so that dramatically changes things."
Only one of these smaller schools gets to move on to a stage usually dominated by the bigger schools, and Galloway isn't sure why the matchup needs sizzle to sell.
"We're basically two of the same teams. We're both going to go out there and play hard," he said.
"They've gotten great wins to get here. We got great wins to get here. If you look at our track record that should speak for itself. We're in the Sweet Sixteen. You've got to watch everything."

FIELDING
Kansas has collectively committed 20 errors on the season, 11 fewer than their opponents combined so far this season. Kansas pitchers have had a lot of success this season because of the fielding and limited errors committed in 2013. Outfielder Connor McKay and outfielder Joe Moroney are not projected to start, but are expected to receive significant playing time this weekend in Norman, Okla.
PITCHING
Sophomore infielder Justin Protacio has been busy playing a couple of different positions. He's also been busy at the busy at the batter's box. Protacio had the best offensive series as a Jayhawk against BYU, going 6-for-13 for a double and two runs batted in. Protacio is adding on to some of the Jayhawks' offensive power, which is a necessity against a top-25 team in Oklahoma.
FIELDING
Junior starting pitcher Frank Duncan and sophomore starting pitcher Wes Benjamin combine for an earned run average of 4.21 on the year, which has helped Kansas earn its 14 wins so far. Coming out of the bullpen, junior Jordan Piche' and sophomore Robert Kahana have been a valuable asset for the Jayhawks. The bullpen has allowed only three runs in the last 11 games. If the series is tied going into Saturday, Kansas has the advantage with Thomas Taylor being on the mound for the series finale.
HITTING
Oklahoma's fielding has done pretty well for most of this season, despite nearly a dozen freshmen receiving a lot of playing time this year. Despite being young, the Sooners have been able to play good defense and feed off from their pitchers. Third baseman Garrett Carey and shortstop Jack Mayfield hold a lot of responsibility as seniors to keep the Sooners' infield focused.
PITCHING
Oklahoma's batting is some of the toughest Kansas has to face this year. Junior Matt Oberste leads the Big 12 in hits with 50, runs batted in with 34 and home runs with seven. Oberste has a strong supporting cast behind him with Carey and Mayfield tied second on the team in home runs with three this year. The Sooners collectively have 16 home runs, which ranks them second in the conference.
Kansas faces a huge test this weekend when going up against juniors Jonathan Gray and Dillon Overton. Gray and Overton each have surrendered one loss this year and combine for 90 strikeouts so far this year. The Sooners will heavily rely on their starting pitchers to help them get through another Big 12 conference series. Oklahoma has yet to announce who its starting pitcher will be Saturday.

IT TAKES TWO
Withey, Young one-two punch impresses
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
ARLINGTON, Texas — There's no question that Michigan has dedicated a lot of time to figuring out how to get around senior center Jeff Withey.
Heck, any team that didn't certainly wouldn't be playing in the Sweet Sixteen. But with the Wolverines' players, you get the feeling there isn't much else to worry about inside.
There's a simple message within the UM locker room: Watch out for Withev.
"My job is to hit the layup when I can," sophomore Michigan guard Trey Burke said. "It's all off reads from Jeff Withev, really."
Yes, the Jay hawks big man
has played as close to his college potential as possible. Withe, Withe has finally evolved into an elite scorer without having to sacrifice one bit of his defensive prowess. Yes, Withe is a man who should be feared in the post.
But while the Wolverines talked about the Jayhawks' center, their coach kept reminding them of that other guy.
"People forget how good this four-man is for them," Michigan coach John Beilein said of Kansas forwards Kevin Young and Perry Ellis. "They do a lot of the dirty work that is not noticed by the common fan."
he scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
The Tar Heels went after Withey — which didn't work out too well considering his 16 points and 16 rebounds — and watched as Young provided the dirty work that Beilein alluded to.
One wouldn't have to look too far back to see what happens when Young is left wandering. Last weekend against North Carolina
["Young] makes a lot of the hustle plays and I don't think he gets enough credit for who he is."
"Nobody boxes me out," Young said. "I get the easy put-backs."
Despite Beilein's attempts to make sure the Wolverines don't get mesmerized by Withey, their style of play makes Michigan susceptible to the same mistake.
"The way you play Michigan is
JEFF WITHEY Senior center
probably similar to the way youw want to guard Carolina," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
That tends to bode well for a Jayhawk team acclimated to challenging a lineup that
starts four guards.
After all, it's not like Withey doesn't assert himself in the paint regardless of what the opponent does. Actually, his presence down low allows Kansas to place its pressure elsewhere.
"A lot of people fear being back-doored." Kansas guard Elijah Johnson said. "But when you back-door you're going with a head of steam. And you're going with a head of steam into a brick wall."
And don't think Withey doesn't enjoy being the last line of defense. He'll often encourage the lawvacks to leave the paint alone.
"it's something I take pride in",
Withey said. "A lot of times I'll tell them to pressure out and not let them take the three and if they hit
a lavup it's on me."
This is the core of the lajahaws defense. It goes back to the philosophy that Self has preached since before his days in Lawrence: Give up one or fewer shots per possession and no easy buckets.
The Jayhawks will pressure the shooters and allow Withey to take care of the rest.
Perhaps that's what makes Kevin Young such an important figure. Not many teams have a safety net beneath their safety net. If Withey can't make a play, Young is there to step in.
"A lot of times people suck in and double team me," Withey said. "And Kev always does the miracle play and gets a dunk or something like that. He makes a lot of the hustle plays and I don't think he gets enough credit for who he is."
Miracle might be a stretch; repetition would be more like it. Being together for two years has allowed the duo to pick up on each other's tendencies. Young said he just plays off Withey and makes sure to go to the opposite areas of the court.
"My fro just points me the right way." Young joked.
If his hair does hold any superpower, it would explain why it seems so easy for Young to disappear in the chaos. Withey goes one way and his smaller partner sneaks into the background.
Beilein will be keeping an eye on Young, and if his message has gotten through, the Wolverines will too.
"I'm not a big name," Young said. "I'm another puzzle piece to this team."

ARLINGTON, Texas — Of ESPN.com's 13 featured college basketball writers, only three of them picked Kansas to represent the South region in the Final Four. Five writers selected teams from the South region that didn't survive the NCAA Tournament's first weekend.
As of Thursday evening, the nation was split 50-50 on NCAA.com's poll about whether Michigan or Kansas would survive its 6.37 ppm. tilt Friday. All four of CBSsports.com's featured college basketball writers like the Wolveries to dispose of the Jayhawks.
That's fine with Kansas.
"Those guys aren't playing," senior forward Kevin Young said
about the experts. "Michigan's playing."
While senior guard Travis Reelford said the layhawks don't take it personally, they still notice what he has said
Senior guard Elijah Johnson said he wouldn't hold a grudge against
anyone for picking against Kansas because he doesn't feel he's justified in getting mad at someone for their opinion.
"We enjoy seeing people on ESPN and whoever do the brackets say, 'Oh we got Kansas going down,' and then we pull out a win," Releford said. "We see who's saying
it, who's not picking us."

Coach Bill Self and sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe laugh during practice inside the Cowboys Stadium Thursday afternoon March 28. Kansas is set to play the No. 4-seed Michigan tonight at 6:37 p.m.
"One thing about them is they are really a transition team from what I watched in the game," sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe said. "They like to shoot the three in transition and they like to shoot it from the corner."
buckets stood out to them, and Michigan's 75.2 points per game are only .2 points behind Kansas' 75.4 points per game. Similarly, the Jahweyt tends to play their best when their defensive pressure leads to easy fast break dunks.
Michigan's offensive catalyst is sophomore guard Trey Burke, the 2013 Big Ten player of the year. He averages 18.8 points per game and also distributes 6.7 assists per game. Even when South Dakota State held Burke in single-digits scoring for the first time this season in the round of 64, he notched seven assists, one of the 23 times this season he's earned at least six assists.
Despite Burke being a national player of the year candidate, Michigan isn't a one-man band. Freshman forward Glenn Robinson III and Tim Hardaway Jr., both sons of former NBA All-Stars, have combined to convert 11 of 17 3-pointers in the NCAA Tournament. Freshman forward Mitch McGary is averaging 17 points in the Big Dance, and freshman guard Nik Stauska shoots 43 percent from 3-point range on the season.
But everything starts with Burke for Michigan, who Johnson said looks like he's playing in "slow motion" because he looks so comfortable on the floor. Tharpe said Burke is the one Kansas wants to stop.
Perhaps his absence as the offense's captain is one of the reasons freshman guard Ben McLemore has played even worse than Johnson offensively. McLemore has scored nine of his 13 points during the NCAA Tournament from free throws and has shot only 2-14 from the field, including 0-8 from 3-point range.
"We don't let him get into the paint and let him get going, then
other teammates won't be able to feed off it," Tharpe said.
On the flip side, Johnson has struggled at point guard during the tournament, scoring an identical five points on 1-6 shooting in each of the two games. He also hasn't facilitated the offense much, combining for six total assists.
"I personally still feel like I haven't played and Ben hasn't played," Johnson said. "That's two starters right there. We've been winning games and we've been doing what we've been doing with only 60 percent of our starting five out there performing."
McLemore said he talked to one of Kansas' coaches who told him he's been shooting the ball at a flatter angle and with his hands not being spread out. But coach Bill Self said even more than focusing on mechanics, McLemore needs to focus on himself and his confidence.
"I think there's one voice, primarily, and it's his own," Self said. "And he needs to understand that he's good. He's really good. When he's really good, he's as good as there is. And that's what I think he got to believe going into tomorrow."

COMMENTARY
Bigger stadiums bigger problems
JAMES R. KING
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
RLINGTON, Texas — Like it or not, we're in a new era of NCAA Tournament basketball.
And as this new age begins to affect play on the court, it becomes a problem.
This is the age of basketball games in football stadiums. Where there's more air from the backboard to the stands than there is in all of Allen Fieldhouse. Where the fans have to squint to see the rims.
This is the age of bigger stadiums, more fans and more money. This is the age of playing a Regional Final at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the famous video board has another, "smaller" video board hanging below it.
TNT Analyst, five-time NBA Champion and well-known 3-point shooter Steve Kerr is no stranger to shooting in domes. He played for Arizona from 1983-1988, which included an Elite Eight matchup against North Carolina in the Kingdome in Seattle.
That was back when a curtain cut the stadium in half, and stands were brought in to give the game a more intimate feel. The Kingdome has a capacity of 66,000 for football, but 40,000 for basketball.
"The shooting backdrop is different," Kerr said. "Everything is different. People on the floor are down below, you chase a loose ball out of bounds; you have to jump off a ledge. It's uncomfortable."
Even then, it would bother Kerr Still, he never played in a stadium that seats 80,000 people with a raised court in the center of the stadium.
Tyshawn Taylor alone backs him up.
Kerr's not alone, either. The numbers back him up.
Taylor became a talking point last season for those who believe that it's harder to shoot in domes. Taylor missed his first 18 NCAA Tournament 3-point shots in domed arenas from 2009-2012. He made one, his only make, against Kentucky in the Championship game last year.
However, Taylor was just the centerpiece of a phenomena that occurred across college basketball last season. According to USA Today, in the first eight domed games in last year's tournament, teams made just under 30 percent of their 3-point shots. That's down from 35 percent in the regular season and 41percent in non-dome tournament games.
"It took a couple of minutes to get the touch going just because of the depth perception," Stauskas said. "But once you're going, it's all right."
Michigan's freshman guard Nik Stauskas, a 43 percent 3-point shooter, said he felt comfortable in the gym by the end of his shoot-around, but he didn't start that way.
The contrasting styles of Michigan and Kansas will clash in cowboys Stadium tonight. Michigan is a run-and-gun team that likes to shoot the ball from outside the lane. Kansas is best when it plays a little smash mouth and wins inside.
If last year's numbers are any indicator and it's tough to shoot in Dallas, the advantage goes to Kansas.
Even further, the Jayhawks played two games at the Edward Jones dome in St. Louis last season and another two in the Superdome in New Orleans.
"It probably does favor [Kansas] just because they've experienced it before." Kerr said.
As the Jayhawks wrapped up their open practice Thursday — their first time shooting at Cowboys stadium — Ben McLemore and Nadir Tharpe both wanted one last shot. McLemore made a three from the stadium's far corner.
Tharpe had a bit more ambition. He launched a shot from half court and not only did it go in, it only touched nylon.
A nothing-but-net half court shot in Cowboys Stadium. Imagine that.

When Beilein and the Michigan Wolverines take the court Friday, there is more the opportunity to survive and advance to the Elite Eight; there will be a $25,000 price tag on Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Michigan coach, John Beilein, is one of the highest paid coaches in college basketball, according to a survey conducted by USA Today. He rakes in more than $2.2 million a season, $200,000 of which is entirely bonus, making Beilein the 13th highest paid coach in college basketball. So far in the 2013 NCAAA tournament, Beilein has pocketed $75,000, one-third of which was awarded for simply securing a tournament bid. Beilein received $25,000 for each win of his first two wins. He still has the opportunity to earn up to $100,000 if the Wolverines win the big dance.
But what's on the line for Bill and the boys?
What will the beloved Jayhawk coach take home for reaching the title game? A big fat nothing.
However, if — when — the laya-
hawks bring back another National Championship. Self will receive an additional $200,000. That's $350,000 total Beak 'Em Bucks for winning all the marbles. This would leave each win with a price tag of more than $58,300.
Nothing. Self doesn't receive a bonus for earning a tournament bid or for advancing through the first five rounds. But if Self does lead the Jayhawks to Atlanta, a $150,000 check will be there waiting for him there. This gives each win up until the Final Four a $37,500 price tag.
That's more than 3,880 Jeff Withey jerseys.
In addition his NCAA tournament bonuses, Self has other incentives for this year's success. He has already received an additional $75,000 to supplement his regular season salary of more than $3.6 million, according to USA Today. For sharing the regular season Big 12 title with Kansas State, he raked in $50,000, twice as much as he received for taking home another Big 12 tournament title.
It's hard to argue Bill Self doesn't deserve it. He works hard for his incentives. And despite his high salary, he remained off Forbes's list of most overpaid coaches. A list that University of Missouri's coach Frank Haith is on.
Self's salary and post-season incentives make him the fifth highest paid men's college basketball coach, which makes sense seeing as Self heads college basketball's second most valuable team, according to Forbes.
As for the University of Florida's Billy Donovan and Florida Gulf Coast University's Andy Enfield, they each have a pretty penny on the line.
The 15 seed's coach has received $15,000 in the tournament: $5,000 for clinching a NCAA tournament bid and double that for making it to the Sweet Sixteen. If Enfield can lead his team to the Final Four, he will pocket an additional $15,000. Winning the entire tournament comes
with a $20,000 bonus. This leaves Enfield with the opportunity to pocket a total of $50,000. A lot is on the line for this Cinderella team.
But there is even more at stake for Florida's Donovan, who is makes more than $3.6 million a year coaching the Gators, accord-
coaches, there is more than banners and bragging rights on the line during March's madness. The hard work pays off.

Wichita State advances to Elite Eight after defeating La Salle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Wichita State went from sweet to elite, beating La Salle 72-58 on Thursday night to reach the final eight of the NCAA tournament for the first time in 32 years.
Malcolm Armstead scored 18 points, Carl Hall added 16 points and freshman Ron Baker 13 for the ninth-seeded Shockers, who proved their upset of No. 1 seed Gonzaga in the third round was no fluke. They never trailed in this matchup of small schools whose past NCAA tourney success was long buried in the history books.
The Shockers advanced to Saturday's West Regional final against No. 2 seed Ohio State, a 73-70 winner over Arizona in the first semifinal at Staples Center. Their yellow-clad fans, several waving handmade signs, made up nearly all of the smaller crowd that stuck around to see the end.
Wichita State (29-8) tied the school's 2010-11 team for most victories. That group won the NIT title. These Shockers have designs on next matching what the 1965 team did — reaching the Final Four.
La Salle (24-10) briefly fought back in the second half — getting
within 11 points — but the Shockers made sure the history of No.13 seeds never making the final eight remained intact.
The Shockers beat Kansas by two points to get to the final eight in 1981. They didn't need to take down a giant this time, just a 6,500-student school from Philadelphia that scrapped its way 2,754 miles from an at-large berth in Dayton, Ohio, to Los Angeles.
Jerrrell Wright and Tyrone Garland led the Explorers with 16 points each. Ramon Galloway, who averages a team-leading 17.4 points, was held to 11 for a program that won the 1954 NCAA championship and reached the 1955 national title game.
Wichita State dominated inside, owning a 47-29 rebounding edge and outscoring La Salle 40-26 in the pain, helped by Hall, who had 14 points in the first half.
The Shockers Limited La Salle to 36 percent shooting — the same as Gonzaga shot in its second-round loss.
Hall sat down with his third foul while La Salle was busy whittling its deficit to 11 points by attacking the rim. But the Explorers never got within single digits, and Armstead
scored nine straight points to push Wichita State's lead to 62-47. Another 6-0 spurt, capped by Cleanthonly Earl's dunk, made it 68-48.
The Shockers hit two straight 3-pointers to open the second half and push their lead to 22 points.
La Salle turned aggressive, answering with a 10-0 run to close to 44-32, with Wright scoring the first seven points and Galloway making a 3-pointer.
The Explorers got shocked to start the game, with Wichita State outscoring them 14-2. The Shockers ended the half on a 9-1 run, including five by Baker, to lead 38-22 at the break. La Salle was held to 27 percent shooting, while Wichita State shot 53 percent and dominated the paint, 24-10.
Hall's teammates repeatedly found him down on the block and he musced in layups over the smaller Explorers.
Galloway missed his first six shots. His finally made a 3-pointer that drew the Explorers within eight, but Wichita State quickly restored its lead to double digits.
Although 6-foot-11 center Steve Zack was cleared to play, he didn't and the Explorers missed his added height and inside presence.

AT A GLANCE
For three halves at the beginning of the NCAA Tournament, the Jayhawks looked as if they were playing not to lose. In the fourth, it finally seemed like they wanted to win. It's fair to question how much pressure the status of being a No. 1 seed has added to a team playing in its own backyard. But now Kansas will play in a bigger stadium with bigger lights, and it's also fair to question which Kansas team will show up. Is it the team with potential first pick Ben McLemore firing on all cylinders, or the squad that struggled in Kansas City?
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ben McLemore, guard
McLemore
Mikasa is the player to watch, considering he's been hard to find as of late. He averaged an impressive 17.4 points per game in Big 12 play this season, but just 13 points
McLemore
per game on the road. In postseason that average drops to 10.4 points per game, it's clear that McLemore has the talent to shine, he just needs to put more work into his performance tonight.
QUESTION MARK
How Does Kansas Avoid The Slow Start?
Two games into the tournament, Kansas has yet to figure this out. Is it too much pressure? Are the Jayhawks having trouble getting loose? Or does Bill Self not give out the game plan until halftime? Whatever the reason, Kansas can't afford a slow start against Michigan. The Wolverines raced out to a 38-23 lead in the first 20 minutes against Virginia Commonwealth and never looked back. The Jayhawks have to take their show on the road with the added pressure of a Sweet Sixteen and playing in the cavernous Cowboys Stadium.
1
Kansas plays like it's December. Just a few months ago, the Jayhawks ran through the likes of Colorado, Temple and Ohio State. The dunks were plentiful, the team was in rhythm and Kansas could do no wrong. What happened to those guys? If the Jayhawks can come out and play like there's no pressure, it'll be hard to fault them even if the result is unfavorable.

It's not like Johnson has shined in postseason play, but he has demonstrated efficiency. Aside from one missed basket against Iowa State, Johnson has been perfect at the free throw line since the start of the Big 12 tournament and is averaging four assists per game. Yet, he'll probably need to do more defensively to get past Michigan. The Jayhawks' senior guard will likely have the duty of slowing down player of the year candidate Trey Burke in what will be a key matchup in this Sweet Sixteen game.
PATRICK MAYER
One could argue that no player has been more important to the Jayhawks' success in the first two rounds than Releford. He completed more than 66 percent of his shots against Western Kentucky and North Carolina and has been Kansas' best defender on the floor. Playing in his hometown of Kansas City at the Sprint Center was an advantage. But the Jayhawks need his senior leadership and clutch scoring. Releford's defensive game could be his biggest asset against the Wolverines.
TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD
★★★★☆
BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
We're still waiting to see what McLemore can do in the NCAA Tournament. His 11 points were hardly noticeable against Western Kentucky and he was benched after going 0-for-9 from the field against the Tar Heels. He could have hit a freshman wall, but he's going to need to find a way past it by tipoff if Kansas is going to advance. McLemore opens up the floor for not only the Jayhawk back court, but also the post players in Kevin Young and Jeff Wither
★★★★★
Make no mistake about it, this Kansas team goes nowhere without the recent play of Jeff Withey. Forget the fact that he's seven blocks away from breaking Tim Duncan's tournament record; Withey's offensive game has evolved to the point where he is no longer only a defensive player. He is scored at least 14 points in each of his last four games with no signs of slowing down. The center's matchup with Mitch McGary will certainly be entertaining.
Perhaps no player is better at being in the right place at the right time than Kevin Young. He crashes the boards on offense and defense, and puts an emphatic twist on simple plays. His energy is invaluable and, with longer timeouts in the NCAA Tournament, he should be able to carry the team. Young is a glue guy for this Kansas lineup. He will have to be ready to provide a spark at any given moment in the tense environment of Cowboys Stadium.

Although others in the backcourt such as Tim Hardaway Jr. and Trey Burke overshadow him, Stauskas contributes plenty to the Wolverines on both ends of the floor. He shoots 45 percent from the field and averages 11.3 points per game. He's the Wolverines' top 3-point shooter at 43 percent and shoots 88 percent from the free throw line. But his most impressive stat is that he's committed only 22 fouls all season despite averaging 31 minutes per game. The freshman has committed only one foul in the past seven games.
The son of former NBA star Tim Hardaway, the junior is averaging 16 points per game during the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments. At 6-feet-6, Hardaway's rebounding skills are comparable to Ben McLemore, especially on the defensive end Hardaway leads the Wolverines with 150 defensive rebounds, almost 30 more than secondplace Glenn Robinson III. in a late-game situation. Hardaway is the best guard for Kansas to foul because he shoots only 70 percent from the free throw line.

He shoots 60 percent from the field and guides Michigan with a team-best 5.9 rebounds per game. However, he's a monstrous liability from the free throw line, where he's gone only 19-of-41 for 46 percent.

MICHIGAN TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
MICHIGAN
Michigan personifies the widely held belief that college basketball contains many good teams, but no great ones. The Wolverines ascended to No. 1 in the Associated Press poll on Jan. 28, but ended up as a No. 4 seed in the tournament after playing against seven NCAA Tournament teams in the last 11 games of the season, going 6-5 in that span. But Michigan seems to be hot again. The Wolverines handled South Dakota State in their first game in the NCAA Tournament and then embarrassed Virginia Commonwealth 78-53 to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Trey Burke, guard
Burke
Rusty
South Dakota State was the only school to hold Burke to less than 10 points this season, but it didn't really matter as the Wolverines easily advanced to
the round of 32. Burke has 13 20-point games on the year and 23 games with at least six assists, including three games of at least 11 assists. For as much as he distributes the ball, Burke averages only 2.2 turnovers per game.
QUESTION MARK
How well did the Big Ten prepare Michigan for the Big Dance?
Michigan is talented enough that it may very well have ended up with a No. 1 seed if it didn't play in the Big Ten, a conference featuring five teams with a No. 5 seed or better. The Wolverines finished 4-5 against ranked opponents, although it went 2-1 against teams that finished in the Top 25 but weren't ranked when they played Michigan. Kansas has four seniors in its starting lineup, but Michigan could be able to counter that with its arsenal of big-game experience in the Big Ten.
PACIFIC UNION
TOWNSHIP
CORNER
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF.
Kansas continues to struggle offensively in the first half. Slow starts can suffice against Western Kentucky and North Carolina when it's a down year for the Tar Heels, but Trey Burke and Michigan will pounce on Kansas if the Jayhawks score 21 points and shoot 25 percent in the first half like they did against the Tar Heels. The Wolverines are too talented offensively and match up too well with Kansas to allow the Jayhawks to compensate for another sluggish offensive performance.

COMMENTARY
Texas in the tourney: no representation, no excuse
If you type, "Division I Basketball Schools" into Google, there are a few suggestions for your search, per the norm.
The number: 21.
The fourth suggestion is an innocent note that sends a big message about what's happened in college basketball this season.
"Division 1 Basketball Schools in Texas"
There are 21 Division I schools in Texas, and none — zero. zilch. nada
— made the field of 68 in the NCAA Tournament. Not only that, but the South Regional, the host of the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight, is in Texas. And not only is it in Texas, it's in the epitome of what Texas seems to stand for. This is Jerry's World, otherwise known as Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, where the video board stretches longer than the court and a bronze statue of Tom Landry greets you at the front.
this isn't just any host for the regional final. This is the biggest and best stadium in sports. Why doesn't Texas basketball keep up?
The answer isn't easy, but the few that have seen the changing landscape of high school and college sports seem to have an idea. Take Tom Inman, coach at Grand Prairie High School in Dallas, for example.
Mr. Inman won the 2006 SA State Championship at Plano Sr. High School, and he has seen the talent born and raised in the football land that is Texas.
"It's as good as anywhere," Inman said. "If not the best."
Yes, Texas is home to some of the best basketball in the United States. Yet, there isn't a single Texas team in the NCAA Tournament. It just doesn't make sense. It's really not acceptable.
There are the big money programs like Texas, Texas A&M and Baylor who have no excuse. They have the opportunity to recruit talent like no other.
Names like Grant Hill, Chris Bosh, Deron Williams, Mookie Blaylock and DeAndre Jordan are just a few that can be plucked from the seemingly endless list of professional talent from the Lone Star State.
So, the players are there, but they don't seem to stay in Texas. Inman has seen cases where Duke, Kansas or Kentucky can come into a recruit house and offer national appeal thats too much to turn down. "They're gone." Inman said.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Inman used Julius Randle as an example of Texas' recent collegiate basketball struggles. Randle goes to high school in Dallas and is the No. 3 prospect in the country according to ESPN.com. He recently picked Kentucky over Kansas and Texas among other schools.
"It's hard when a Julius Randle goes national," Inman said. "They get picked out."
Everything is bigger in this state. right? It's supposed to be better too. For a regional game that's in Dallas
They may get plucked away onto bigger and better programs, but still, that doesn't give Texas any excuse to be shut out of the tournament.
SO, WHERE ARE THESE DIVISION I SCHOOLS ANYWAY?

Florida Gulf Coast won 81-71
Florida looking to end No.15-seed FGCU's fairy-tale run

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas - It's only natural that a team becomes a national darling when it's the first No. 15 seed in a 75-year-old tournament to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
Florida's junior center Patric Young understands why Florida Gulf Coast, the upstart program the Gators will face at 10:07 Friday night, is receiving perhaps the most attention of any remaining team in the NCAA Tournament.
But he's ready for the fairy tale to end.
"It kind of motivates us because we're getting tired of seeing these guys get all the credit," Young said. "It's like [the media] are deciding that they won the game before the game even been played. That's not fair to us."
It's hard to fathom that a No. 3 seed could feel overshadowed, especially one like Florida, which won back-to-back national titles in 2006 and 2007. But even though the Gators are coming off consecutive Elite Eight appearances, Young seemed to possess an underdog mentality as his team prepared Thursday to end Cinderella's FGCU's run.
"We just want to go out there and prove that we're not just going to be some pushover team that they can just come in and then walk over us and do the same things that they've been doing." Young said. "We haven't really gotten credit for anything we've accomplished over these past few years so I'm used to it."
But Florida Gulf Coast hasn't lost its underdog persona, either. The No. 15 seed is in its 11th year of basketball and has a 194-147 all-time record. Florida, on the other hand, has 1,293 victories.
Should the Eagles advance, they would face either Kansas and its 2,101 all-time victories or Michigan and its 1,245 victories. Although any team that reaches the tournament's second weekend has proved
itself capable of handling the pressures of March basketball, Florida Gulf Coast sophomore guard Brett Comer said he thinks Florida might still be overlooking the Eagles.
"I feel like, you know, honestly deep down they might not be taking us as seriously, just like other teams, because we weren't the high-recruited guys." Comer said. "Everybody talks about Florida. Nobody talks about Florida Gulf Coast."
Dunks could be the Eagles' best chance at creating momentum.
which could be key since Florida junior guard Scottie Wilbekin said he expects the majority of the crowd to back Florida Gulf Coast. But senior center Erik Murphy said that when the Gators face their opponent, which has come to be known as "Dunk City" they have to remember a dunk isn't worth any more than any other sort of field goal.
--times to get a 3-point attempt is on a long offensive rebound, the Eagles know playing tight perimeter defense has to complement strong rebounding down low.
"A dunk, layup, two points, the same thing." Murphy said. "Those plays energize them, though, so we want to try to limit them."
If Florida is in rhythm shooting 3-pointers, it might not matter how many dunks Florida Gulf Coast accumulates. The Gators shoot 38 percent from long range as a team. Murphy, despite being a 6-foot-10 big man, is the team's best 3-point shooter at 46 percent and has connected on 72 attempts this season.
Three other Gators have made at least 50 deep-range shots, and no one who regularly shoots a 3-pointer shoots below 33 percent. Florida is also fairly formidable on the offensive glass. Since one of the best
"One thing we're going to try to take away is their wide-open threes," Florida Gulf Coast senior guard Sherwood Brown said. "I'm sure they got a lot of points off of missed threes and put-backs."
Florida Gulf Coast is the first team to win its initial NCAA Tournament game since Florida won its first two ever tournament games in
1987, although the NCAA later vacated the Gators' victories for committing NCAA violations.
Florida Gulf Coast sophomore forward Eric McKnight said the Eagles intended to win in their first ever NCAA appearance, but the Sweet Sixteen wasn't something they even considered.
"The Sweet Sixteen wasn't talked about," McKnight said. "But we knew we did not want to lose the first game because we would have felt like that'd have been pointless."

COMMENTARY
FGCU on honeymoon with tournament, Jayhawks keep it real
Who do those smug bastards from Florida Gulf Coast think they are?
Just look at them. They're smiling, laughing, having a good time and making a mockery of the NCAA Tournament.
And what right do they have?
The No. 15-seed Eagles lost 10 games this season. Hell, they lost to the Lipscomb Bison twice.
They wouldn't even be in the tournament if it weren't for a monster run through the Atlantic Sun Tournament in which they tore apart every foe they faced.
After that, people allow them to have fun in the insanely intense "win or go home" NCAAs.
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
Today at Cowboys Stadium, a few of the Eagles were even running around with a video camera trying to capture the moment.
"I'm a big believer that college basketball should be an enjoyable
experience" FGCU coach Andy Enfield said. "That's what college sports to me is all about."
Enjoyment? Oy vey, maybe there's a reason this guy is stuck in Fort Myers, Fla. He won't get anywhere if he doesn't believe in winning.
How could the NCAA allow this travesty to occur? Players should never be allowed to show boat like this.
All these dunks are destroying the game. The ball goes up in the air and you have no idea if
it's a shot or pass. Are they trying to make this simple game look incredibly tough? Or are they just good at making it look cool when they mess up?
"You've got to turn them loose in games," ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla told USA TODAY. "I think that's been the lesson of the Eagles' success; Andy's willing to cede some control of the decision-making, particularly on offense, because he trusts his team."
So now you've got a team that has only been NCAA Tournament eligible for just its second year running around with a coach who refuses to reel them in.
Maybe they need to spend more time watching the No. 1-seed Kansas Jayhaws.
In their first two games in Kansas City, the Jayhawks played like statues.
There were hardly any smiles.
And clearly this is a formula that works as the Jayhawks employed it again two days later against North Carolina.
But look at how Kansas beat Western Kentucky; They came out feeling the pressure and fed off it. The Jayhawks trailed at half and played a tightly fought game from start to finish against a No. 16-seed.
"Being a one-seed," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "And playing in your backyard, sometimes you play not to lose rather than embrace the moment."
laughing was non-existent and it would be shocking if Tyler Self was spotted running around with a video camera — OK, maybe that last one isn't so much of a stretch.
Isn't that the point of a tournament? Not losing?
There will be detractors who
say that FGCU got to the Sweet Sixteen their way, but you've got to trust an upright Jayhawks team to advance.
Once you embrace that moment anything can happen. And it's terrifying to think of what could happen if Kansas did.

A disposable camera won't cut it this weekend. Be sure to charge your camera so you can document every element of the over-the-top and extravagantly lavish Jerry's World. And don't forget your phone charger. If you think Allen Fieldhouse drains your battery, you haven't seen anything yet. Everything from the perfectly polished floors to the gourmet concession stands is Instagramworthy and has the potential to get mad likes.
On a more practical note, prepare yourself for the forecasted wonderful weather. Although the roof on the stadium will not be open, the projected temperature will be in the 70s. You can leave your winter clothes behind. Dust off your sandals and dig out your shorts.

Please wear the correct shade of blue. Do not, by any means, wear navy. A cobalt blue would be most appropriate. Given the excessive number of schools that will be playing in Arlington this weekend whose team colors are a shade of blue, I would suggest pairing your cobalt blue shirt with crimson accessories. Let it be known you are NOT a Michigan or Florida fan. But be cautious: We don't want anyone looking like Craig Sager.

Please wear deodorant, especially if you sweat when you are nervous. Things could get nerve-wracking, and crimson and blue are not the most pit stain-friendly colors. In addition to the necessities such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, you'll need hairspray. Texas women are famous for their voluminous hairstyles. The bigger the hair, the better. Don't skimp on the curls.
And last but definitely of the utmost importance — the tickets. Did I mention to remember the tickets?

Fans from all teams congregate in the Power and Light District in Kansas City, Mo., before the second round games of the NCAA Tournament last Friday. Kansas defeated Western Kentucky 64-57 on Friday and North Carolina 70-58 on Saturday to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Today they will play Michigan in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
ARLINGTON, Texas — Cowboys Stadium will be filled with basketball history this weekend when hosting the four remaining South Region teams: Kansas, Michigan, Florida and Florida Gulf Coast.
Fans from all over the country will travel to Arlington to cheer their teams on to victory. It's all about atmosphere when traveling and alumni are a large factor. There is power in numbers, especially when traveling. Rarely, if ever, do these four teams travel to Dallas. Next to students, alumni are the most influential fans when it comes to making noise and getting the crowd involved.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, the Dallas-Fort Worth area has the largest number of Kansas alumni in the entire country.
"There are 6,000 in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex," Danny Lewis, director of alumni programs for the alumni association, said. "It's always been a good area for KU. Lots of students and alumni come from this area."
To accommodate the large number of alumni in the area, KUAA and the athletic department are co-sponsoring a pregame event at the Arlington Convention Center. Last year's Sweet Sixteen pregame event in St. Louis welcomed more than 4,000 KU fans.
"It's one big tailgate party inside," Lewis said. "We are expecting about the same kind of turnout this year, somewhere between 3,500 and 5,000 people. It should be huge."
The free event will start at 2:30 p.m. and end one hour before game time at 5:30, allowing those attending the game ample traveling time. Inside the 5,000-person ballroom will be 12 big screen TVs, food vendors, a cash bar and official KU fan shop.
The band and spirit squad will take the stage around 4:30 p.m. for the pep rally. Alumni Association President Kevin Corbett and Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger will welcome the crowd during the pep rally, along with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.
"There is no doubt KU alum living throughout Texas travel well."
Lewis said. "It should be a really great crowd."
The Michigan alumni could well outnumber the lajayhawk alumni this weekend. A large showing for the Wolverines could pose a great threat to Kansas as they travel from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., to Arlington.
The University of Michigan has more than 500,000 alumni around the world and a particularly strong following throughout Texas. Michigan's alumni association has multiple clubs across the country, but one of their strongest bases calls Dallas home.
"The club in the Dallas area is one of several really active ones." Bradley
Whitehouse, the senior communications coordinator for the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan , said via email. "As many as 200 alumni attend the regular game-watching parties that the Dallas club hosts for football and basketball."
This showed at yesterday's shoot around and media day, where a majority of people in attendance sported Michigan gear.
"Our alumni are known to travel to big games," Whitehouse said. "And with several thousand living in the Dallas area, there should be a lot of maize and blue in the stands on Friday."
Florida and Florida Gulf Coast fan bases will be significantly lopsided.
The Gators will have a large advantage over the Eagles when it comes to the crowd. Even though many in Cowboys Stadium will be cheering for the underdog, it will still be hard for Florida Gulf Coast to compete.
Texas is home to more than 10,000 University of Florida alumni, the fifth-largest state alumni base of the more than 45,000 registered alumni. A majority of Texas' Gator alumni, nearly 3,500, live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area — more than any other city in Texas.
And although 62 percent of Florida's alumni reside in Florida, the alumni association and Gator Club are excited to have the opportunity to host a pre-game event at Buffalo
Wild Wings in Arlington.
"We have so many alumni living in the state that never get to see the Gators come to their state," Scott Francis, director of Broaden Gator Engagement, said in an email.
Despite not being considered one of the "blue bloods," Florida has a strong following and expects a strong showing in Jerry World tomorrow.
"The following for the team has been loyal and fantastic," Francis said. "Especially as an SEC school, which is more well known for its strength in football."
Florida Gulf Coast is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to traveling alumni. According to a map from Florida Gulf Coast's alumni association, the largest alumni base remains in Florida with 8,604 alumni. Despite Texas being home to only 48 alumni, Eagle alumni will be hosting a pregame party at Sherlock's Baker St. Pub and Grill in Arlington.
Jerry World may be a sea of blues tomorrow, but there is no doubt the alumni will have a huge effect on the atmosphere as a whole. Regardless of who they are rooting for, many alums exit Cowboy Stadium with a bad case of the blues.

Bill Self is a man of many ties
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
LAKEN RAPIER
trapier@kansan.com
If there is one thing Bill Self wears better than a championship ring, it's a tie. Self dresses for success and definitely impresses. The coach has a great eye for fashion and his incorporation of school colors makes that obvious. Self has a splendid tie collection, but below are Bill's 16 sweetest ties. It's obvious he shines in his go-to striped ties, but keeps his fans
guessing with the occasional pattern.
While most of his neckwear is a slam-dunk, one tie that I don't like is the yellow tie, which represents the entire list of his worst ties. This particular yellow tie too closely resembles the hue of that former rival of ours in Missouri, and the Tigers are far from a
fashion statement.
Hopefully Bill leaves the yellow ties at home and brings his best stripes to Dallas. It's clear he has a favorite: He has repeatedly worn the same red, white and blue striped tie. But we will let that slide because he's Bill. So cross your fingers and hope he leaves the Tar Heel blue and Mizzou yellow hang in
