Organizations provide education on Quantrill's raid
MARK ARCE
marce@kansan.com
While the rivalry between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri won't be the same because of Missouri's conference change, historical events like Quantrill's raid serve as reminder of the states' shared history. This year, both Lawrence and others wanted to honor 150th anniversary of the historic event on Aug.21.
Brenna Buchanan, the coordinator of www.1863lawrence.com said the site was launched to promote the events that will be happening for the anniversary, as well as provide some historical context to any interested visitors.
- Edited by Megan Hinman
Fred Cobboy, president and C.E.O. of Destination Management Inc., who oversees the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau, said he hopes local businesses will benefit from the interest in Lawrence's rich history. He said the anniversary is an opportunity to pause and remember the people who died in the tragedy, as well as celebrate the rebirth of the community into a thriving town.
For information visit www.1863.
lawrence.com.
The City of Lawrence has its own plans for the anniversary, including reading the names of the raid victims a speech from the mayor during a commemoration ceremony.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
The Watkins Community Museum of History is one of the partners involved with 1863 CommemorateLawrence website. Abby Piterson, the education and programs director at the museum, said its new programming will include part of a new exhibit dedicated exclusively to modern art interpretations of the raid.

STUDENT LIFE
Summer tests the relationship status of students
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Editor's note: This is the first article in a summer series that will explore college relationships and everything they entail: dating, hooking up, finding love online, social stigmas and more. This first article takes a look at how relationships survive the summer, whether couples are in long-distance relationships or share close quarters.
They talked, they dated, and two years later in summer 2012, Emmaline Rodriguez moved into an apartment with him.
He knew she liked elephants. When she showed up at his house a few days after Christmas, he surprised her with a small, wooden elephant he found at a garage sale, tied up with a silver bow.
Rodriguez, a junior from Emporia, said neither she or her boyfriend Nick Yoho, from Leroy, wanted to go back to their hometown. They wanted to give living together in Lawrence a shot.
Whether a couple is seeing each
other each day or the relationship lives and dies by weekly Skype calls, summer is a different playing field for testing a relationship. The months away from class give each partner a different perspective on being together now and in the future.
Playing house was fun until the real world began to set in. Yoho was fortunate, finding jobs at Acme and Third Planet downtown, while Rodriguez was struggling to find employment.
The apartment was lonely while Yoho was at work. When Rodriguez finally did take a job, it was a miserable one. She came home unhappy.
"I kind of took that out on him," she said.
Rodriguez said they didn't fight, but their moods didn't always sync up.
However, the experience of being in close quarters also brought them closer as a couple. They took a walk almost every evening, and experimented in the kitchen.

LAWRENCE
Local vendors host Lawrence Farmer's Market twice a week

Tucked away from the traffic of Massachusetts Street is a friendly reminder that Lawrence is a small Midwestern town with a sense of community.
On Saturday mornings from 7 to 11 a.m. and Tuesdays from 4 to 6 p.m., the Lawrence Farmer's Market claims the 800 block of New Hampshire Street as its home.
ERIN BRFMFR/KANSAN
It's been slow lately, said John Edmonds, a 2011 University graduate who stands behind his sea of green vegetables for sale at the Tuesday market. He expects it to pick up when his tomatoes are ready to be sold. For now, sweet corn is most popular.
The Tuesday market is more intimate than the Saturday one, with fewer vendors and a narrow selection.
"It's more of a festival atmosphere, especially on Saturday," said Madeline Reed of The Blissful Bite.

lan Mckay and Nicholas Tolbert, seniors from Leawood, shop for produce on Tuesday at the farmer's market downtown.
Reed and her friend England Porter, a 2009 University graduate, met in high school. Both moved back to Lawrence and became part of a six-farm collective that supplies local, organic produce for the market as well as their food truck.
They use eggs from other vendors's farms to whip up their specialty breakfast burritos for the Saturday market. Sometimes Porter can be found playing her ukulele for the crowd.
"Sometimes you walk down Mass and no one is talking to each other," Reed said.
The University Daily Kansan
That's not the case at the Market. Vendors greet customers with smiles and nods, and customers find themselves bonding over the smell of their favorite pie or a unique looking plant. No one is a stranger here.
Last Tuesday, Ian McKay and Nicholas Tolbert, seniors from Leawood, were out shopping for salad ingredients.
Tolbert enjoys cooking and would rather have local, organic produce in his recipes. The greens, he said, are noticeably fresher.
"They look more loved," he said. When his friend Tolbert shows up at his house to make a meal, McKay said he has no objection.
"They look more loved," he said.

Rodriguez moved out to live with a friend at the end of the summer; Yoho knew this was her plan. And then the couple broke up for three months after the summer, "because we wanted to see if we could do it," Rodriguez said. Living under the same roof had taught them that they valued space in their relationship.
Rodriguez said.
"We both wanted to do our own thing for a little while," Rodriguez said. "I've been with him since I was 16. He was all I knew for a relationship."
Since getting back together, they are planning on moving back in together next year. This time will be better, said Rodriguez, as long as they give each other breathing room.
LONG-DISTANCE LOVE
When your boyfriend's life is at risk and safety isn't guaranteed, taking things one day at a time is essential.
It's a mantra for Madeline Dickerson, a sophomore from Eudora. Her boyfriend Zane Pittman is an Army medic currently serving in Afghanistan.
Two weeks before he left for basic training, he asked for her number so they could hang out.
"I totally fell in love with him within that two weeks," Dickerson said.
Out of the two years they have been dating, she has seen him for about two and a half months total. Dickerson and Pittman have learned that communication can make or break a long distance relationship.
Pittman calls when he can, usually early in the morning or late at night. During the school year, Dickerson said she would lose sleep to talk to him.
In the summer, it's better. Three in
the afternoon — when she would have had class — is now a free time slot that can be spent talking to her boyfriend.
Growing up as the man of the house, Pittman is more inclined to deal with other's problems rather than talk about his own. Dickerson is the opposite, a verbal journalist armed with a million and one questions.
The difference in communication comfort has created rough patches for the couple, especially with his deployment.
"It's scary for him," Dickerson said. "He doesn't want to talk about it, but I do."
"You know the 80-year-old couples you see? They're not having sex, but they are so in love with each other," she said.
And, being 7,000 miles away, Pittman and Dickerson don't often get the chance to have a physical relationship. However, it isn't what Dickerson misses most. In fact, she thinks it makes their relationship more mature.
When he returns home, she's looking forward to the small things: going on double dates, grocery shopping, grabbing McDonalds.
"Each little thing that other couples take for granted are going to be the most exciting things for us," she said. "When we get to travel and get to go to get coffee together, it's so much sweeter than if you were with somebody all the time."
At the start of her freshman year, Pittman told Dickerson that if she found someone better, to go with him. But she doesn't foresee anyone coming between them.
"I know that sounds really naive," Dickerson said. "But I think we both take pride in knowing that we are here two years later and that we have accomplished this together."

Summer makes campus dining hard
There are many good reasons to stay on campus for the summer. You can take mundane general education classes or work a student hourly position, both of which were my reasons for staying. But if being well fed was on your list, you had better reconsider your decision.
Student housing is one of the most reviled offices on campus, and it's easy to see why. The costs of living in one of the University's residence halls are unconscionable, pushing many students into apartments as early as freshman year.In addition to these outrageous prices, many summer housing residents will face extreme difficulty in finding places to use their meal plan.
By William Ashley
washley@kansan.com
Let's start with the most glaring flaw in the University summer housing arrangement. Mrs.E's is closed all summer due to renovations. The North College Cafe at GSP, however, remains open. This seems sane and sensible, if summer
housing residents were located in GSP. But they aren't. We were all haphazardly placed in Ellsworth. The painfully obvious bumbling of the Housing and Dining offices is only to detriment these residents.
If you are among the lucky ones with a car, this is a tedious, petty frustration. But for students who don't have a car, such as many international students, this can be devastating. Unsurprisingly, the majority of students who sign up for summer housing are international students, meaning the University has failed to accommodate to their needs. As someone who holds the value of a diverse campus with the highest regard, I find it deplorable that the University would design a summer housing plan that leaves these students in destitute. I will, therefore, waste no pleasure in smearing the name of Student Housing.
Now, it wouldn't be fair to write a scathing criticism of Student Housing without giving them a chance for rebuttal. To that end, I sent them a strongly worded email detailing these concerns. Student Housing responded with a fancy flyer listing all of the summer housing meal options. Good to know that they thought this through, except for the fact that there is a mile and a half between GSP and Ellsworth. Furthermore, three out of five of the options they listed were only available beginning June 3, again to the detriment of students who signed up for immediate
summer housing. The email also stated that Pulse and the Gridiron Room in the Burge Union were the planned alternatives to Mrs. E's, because making all of us walk up and down a hill in sweltering heat only to be greeted by a limited menu of overly priced sandwiches and smoothies is what I call "welcoming."
Perhaps the saddest aspect of this quagmire is that it even exists at all. How can something so real and essential have been neglected by the upper echelons of the administration? I beseech those in the ivory tower to recognize the crisis of student rights that is unfolding before their very own eyes. Because for us in Ellsworth, there is no means of redress or restitution. All we have are our words and empty stomachs.

EDUCATION
Two sides to the student interest rate debate
The price of college is rising exponentially, leaving many with fewer options to fund a higher education. Congress is debating this issue, the House of Representatives recently passed legislation that would skyrocket the interest rates of federal loans. This is important because federal loans for students typically have lower interest rates, making them easier to pay back. Repayment is more flexible in many ways compared to a private loan, meaning many students rely on them as a cheaper alternative to private loans.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has argued that we should keep interest rates as low as the rates that banks pay to the Federal Reserve for short-term loans. This rate will be about 0.75 percent.
Regardless of your opinion on the federal funding of education, or
By Mikaela Wefald
mwefald@kansan.com
federal spending in general, there are many arguments to strengthen your views. The news typically covers the facts of what transpires in Congress, but what are the effects of this partisan battle?
The Republican-controlled House may be right. Perhaps it would be unwise to lower the rates on federal loans. If college supply and demand behaves like the economy, then it may be harmful to fuel a greater demand for higher education by providing a bigger incentive to go. The root cause of the problem of high tuition rests in the fact that there is a large demand to go to college because of the promise of a better job and a useful education.
However, there is a limited supply of institutions of higher learning, and it is almost impossible to build more to meet the supply. That means that in order to artificially reduce the demand, we should increase interest rates for loans, which would in turn drive down the price of tuition.
The downside to this argument is that it would also ensure that those who depend on government loans would be unable to continue a college education, or are at least worse off in the long run. In order to justify raising interest rates, you may have to argue that even if some lose out on an education, it's better for the majority of students, who will pay less.
However, there is obviously another side to the story. Senator Warren's argument is based on a short-term solution to the higher
education conundrum. With so many recent graduates bogged down in debt, the economy may suffer in the short term. This can happen in a few ways; either graduates can accept jobs they are overqualified for in order to pay back loans quickly, or they can find themselves unable to make big purchases like cars and new homes. If they can't purchase houses and cars, these industries are much worse off. Not to mention, this amount of household debt is not good by itself.
Perhaps it's a good idea to lower interest rates in the short term to reduce debt now, while colleges are growing larger to accommodate the increased demand they are facing.

Zombie concert raises money for local charities
CODY KUIPER ckuiper@kansan.com

The Granada is partnering with the Kansas City Zombie Walk for Hunger to host a charity concert on June 8 to benefit those who suffer from hunger and homelessness.
This is the second time the two have teamed-up to host Z-Day, a concert where those who attend are encouraged to dress as zombies and bring non-perishable food items to donate, which will reduce ticket price by $2 at the door.
Peige Turner, the President of the Kansas City Zombie Walk for Hurger, said even though the concert is zombie themed, those who don't want to dress like the undead are also welcome.
"A lot of people get put-off, saying, 'I don't really want to dress up,' she said. "But even if you don't want to dress up, you're more than welcome to come as a civilian or a survivor. This walk is all about having fun and feeding people that need food."
In their five-year existence, the organization has donated more than 5.000 pounds of food to various charities.
Erick Rhoades, the singer of Dirt, one of the bands performing at Z-Day, said the uniqueness of the show
made it a gig the band couldn't miss.
"We were offered it a few months ago, and there was no hesitation to jump on," he said. "When we were told about it and everything that it goes toward and all the fun involved with the zombie dress up, we just couldn't pass it up."
Z-Day will feature four rock bands in addition to Dirt: Arya, Eleven After, Solus and Breaking Even. The event will also include zombie themed artwork by The Studio Patrick, a zombie costume contest with prizes and "Apocalyptic Pictures," which allow concert goers to have their picture taken with an apocalyptic background for $5.
Jericia Millspal organized the concert for the Granada. She said the groups she's chosen are perfect for a post-apocalyptic party.
"Every single band I've picked puts on a show," she said. "One of the bands even wants to dress up as the resistance to the zombies, so everybody has their own thing going on."
All ages are welcome, and tickets to the concert can be purchased at the door only. One ticket costs $10,
two cost $14, and a $2 discount will be given to those with a valid KU student ID.

Summer movie preview: from Shakespeare to Superman
With temperatures and ticket prices both steadily on the rise, it's often difficult to know which movies are truly worthy of your hard earned time and money. Some of the season's biggest cinematic offerings are nothing more than lumbering golems of mass-marketed mediocrity, coldly engineered to bombard audiences with droning sound and fury for a few hours before sending them back into the summer heat with aching heads, hardened hearts and empty wallets.

Yet for every big-budget letdown ("Battleship," "Green Lantern"), there's a blite indie charmer ("Little Miss Sunshine"), a rousing pop triumph ("The Avengers") or even that rarest of cinematic beasts: the spectacle of substance ("The Dark Knight"). This year has already produced two intelligent, risk-taking blockbusters, "Iron Man 3" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness," and at least one, "Fast and Furious 6", that managed to be both unabashedly dumb and ridiculously entertaining. With that in mind, here, in descending order, are the 10 films I have the highest hopes for.
MAN OF STEEL - JUNE 14
Comic book scribe Grant Morrison once compared writing Superman to contemplating the Buddha, neatly illustrating the difficulties of relating to an invincible alien whose powers and abilities would be enviable to a god. After Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" failed to connect with fans, the herculean task of modernizing (and humanizing) the world's first superhero fell to director Zack Snyder ("Watchmen") and British actor Henry Cavill, who appears to possess both the chiseled features and plainspoken nobility necessary to play Supes. If the early buzz is any indication, "Man of Steel" promises to be a bold new origin story that balances gargantuan action scenes with a healthy amount of honest, heartfelt emotion. Michael Shannon looks suitably unhinged as interstellar war criminal

PACIFIC RIM-JULY 12
Guillermo Del Toro's newest film is geared towards everyone's inner child, provided that child is a crazed Godzilla fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of Japanese monster movies. An interdimensional rift has opened on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, causing all manner of scaly, slimy critters, called Kaiju (Japanese shorthand for the giant monster genre), to slither through and attack Earth's major cities. Faced with its own extinction, mankind creates an army of Jaegers, massive robots controlled by two human pilots, to rocket-punch the nasty buggers back to their own world. Ron Perlman (Del Toro's "Hellboy") and Charlie Day ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) both appear in small but pivotal roles. My favorite moment from the trailer: a Jaeger smacks a Kaiju upside the head with what appears to be a Titanic-sized ocean liner.
Executive produced by master filmmakers Werner Herzog ("Grizzly Man") and Errol Morris ("The Fog of War"), Joshua Oppenheimer's documentary challenges former Indonesian death squad leaders to confront their crimes by recreating them in the form of different film genres, including the Hollywood musicals and gangster dramas that inspired them as youths. Chilling, incisive and ethically terrifying by its very existence. "The Act of Killing" focuses on Anwar Congo, the kindly grandfather and celebrated national hero who once presided over the genocide of millions, including the
THE ACT OF KILLING - EARLY AUGUST
ELYSIUM-AUGUST 8
Writer-director Neill Blomkamp follows up 2009's critically acclaimed "District 9" with another gritty sci-fi actioner laced with trenchant social commentary on issues ranging from healthcare and immigration to literal class warfare. The year is 2154, and the ultra-rich have migrated to an Ayn Rand-approved space habitat called Elysium, an orbiting satellite free from all crime, disease and poverty. The rest of humanity, including Max De Costa (Matt Damon), is left to toil in the irradiated wastelands of a hopelessly overpopulated Earth. Informed that he has terminal cancer, Max undertakes a perilous mission that will allow him to break into Elysium and thwart the hardliner policies of the fanatical Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster). The film has been specially reformatted for IMAX screens.
The hotly anticipated successor to Nicolas Winding Refn's L.A. neonoir "Drive" may have premiered to a chorus of boos at Cannes, but I'm still willing to predict that "Only God Forgives," the Danish director's second collaboration with Ryan Gosling, will prove itself a worthy heir in the long run. Baby Goose plays a boxing club owner whose domineering mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) commands him to hunt down his brother's killer, a psychotic Bangkok policeman (Vithaya Pansringarm) who fancies himself the Angel of Vengeance. The trailers promise a moody art-house bruiser
ONLY GOD FORGIVES - JULY 19
punctuated by quick and dirty bursts of day-glow bloodletting, underscored by another dreamy electro-pop soundtrack courtesy of Cliff Martinez. Refn isn't the next Tarantino (something tells me he'd rather be the next Jean-Pierre Melville), but he certainly has a similar gift when it comes to using music in his films.
MONSTERS UNIVERSITY - JUNE 21
Pixar's first prequel explores the rowdy college years of one-eyed Mike (Billy Crystal) and big blue Sulley (John Goodman), the loveable closet dwellers from 2001's "Monsters, Inc." The new film, which follows the mismatched duo through their tutelage at the MU School of Scaring, looks like a light-hearted send-up of college movie tropes. If Pixar really has caught franchise fever, though, I think I'd have preferred another helping of "The Incredibles."
THE PURGE-JUNE 7
James DeMonaco's second feature is a home invasion thriller with a diabolically clever twist. In the not-too-distant future, there's one night every year when all U.S. law enforcement services are suspended and every crime, from joywalking and double-parking to rape and mass-murder, becomes perfectly legal. The theory goes that Americans need this night as a way to vent their most primal urges, thus ensuring docile, compliant behavior for the rest of the year. That premise may seem like a stretch, but as one of the movie's creepy masked intruders would surely tell you, it's all in the execution.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING JUNE 21
How do you follow up the highest
grossing superhero film of all time?
If you're Joss Whedon, you go back to making home movies. His ultrahip, black-and-white modernization of Shakespeare's romantic comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" was filmed entirely in and around the writer-director's Santa Monica home. The cast is stacked with Whedon regulars (Nathan Fillion from "Firefly", Amy Acker from "Cabin in the Woods" and "Dollhouse") who shot their scenes in the midst of a wine-fueled 12-day house party.
Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson in "The Avengers") plays Leonato, the uncle who resolves to bring squabbling soul mates Beatrice (Acker) and Benedick (Alexis Denisof) together in "a mountain of affection."
Director Edgar Wright ("Scott Pilgrim vs. the World") reunites with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for "The World's End," the apocalyptic conclusion to their Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, a saga that began in 2004 with the beloved zombie comedy "Shaun of the Dead" and reached a level of joyous anarchy with 2007's buddy cop spoof "Hot Fuzz." This time Pegg stars as Gary King, a disheveled slacker who convinces his four oldest friends (including Frost and Martin Freeman from "The Hobbit" and BBC's "Sherlock") to recreate the epic pub crawl the gang went on 20 years ago. Nothing, not even the looming threat of an alien invasion, will keep the inebriated chappies from reaching their final destination: the World's End, a legendary tavern promising "good food, fine ales and total annihilation." A sci-fi parody that's actually funny? I'll drink to that.

Top-ranked women's team to compete at nationals
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The Kansas women's track and field team will compete at the NCAA track and field national championships as the top-ranked team in the nation by the Coaches Association. It is the eighth time this season that the Jayhawks have held the top spot in the USTFCCCA rankings. The national championship events are June 5-8.
The team brings 13 women to compete, and with seven seniors and three juniors, it is a mature and experienced group traveling to Eugene, Ore.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the team is ready to compete and isn't feeling the pressure of entering the championships with the target on them as the top-ranked team.
"The athletes are ready to go, but we have to compete as a team." Redwine said. "I think if we understand what we're in it for and how to compete, maturity is the thing that's on our side."
The coaches and athletes know that those past titles and the current ranking will mean nothing once the meet begins at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.
Senior horizontal jumper Andrea Geubelle, junior sprinter Diamond Dixon and junior pole-vaulter Natalia Bartonovskaya have all won at least one individual event championship.
Together, the three athletes have combined for five individual national titles, giving Kansas more individual titles than any other team at the championships.
"On that day, they have to be better than everybody else," Redwine said. "That means stepping up in some cases. That means just doing what you did to get there in some cases."
Andrea Geubelle will compete in both the long jump and the triple jump events, which could end up gaining crucial team points for the Jayhawks.
Geubelle has won two indoor national titles, both in the triple jump,
Bergmann is the only senior with a top 10 ranking in the javelin throw going into the meet.
"The first time you go to national, you walk in and you're nervous and you don't know what to expect," Bergmann said. "You feel like you have to hit above your personal record. Having that experience, you go in like 'this is just another meet.'"
For the full version of this story and for information on the men's team, visit kansan.com
Senior javelin thrower Heather Bergmann will be throwing at her third national championship meet. She said the experience that she and many of her teammates have gained in past years allows them to focus on performing to the best of their abilities rather than trying to do more than they are capable of.
though she said an outdoor title would be more memorable.

Goodrich ends career on high note, leaves for Tulsa Shock
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Angel Goodrich ended her career at Kansas by leading the program to its second consecutive Sweet 16 appearance this past season.
Now, Goodrich has fulfilled a lifelong dream of officially making the roster of a WNBA team, as the Tulsa
Shock announced May 23 that Goodrich had been selected for the team after competing against several other guards throughout training camp.
"I just feel stress-free and relieved," Goodrich said. "This has been a great experience. Camp was extremely competitive, and for me to make the roster - the one word that keeps coming to mind is blessed. There were a lot of guards in camp
A. M.
and it was really competitive, which is exactly what the coaches want and expect. I'm just glad to have made the team."
Not only is Goodrich "blessed" to be on a WNBA roster, but she will also live out her childhood dream less than 100 miles from where she grew up.
Goodrich
Announcers have called Goodrich
"the other rookie point guard," as she will play the backup role to Skylar Diggins, from Notre Dame. Diggins is the Shock's third overall pick in the draft. It was also Diggins and the Fighting Irish that ended Goodrich's Jayhawk career during the Jawsh 16 round
in the NCAA tournament in March.

Kansas amends inconsistent season with tournament success
But then came time for the Big 12 tournament. And even as the rain poured, causing the tournament to be delayed a day, the Jayhawks remained optimistic that they could potentially turn things around.
"Once you get to Oklahoma City, you have one last chance to make a run," coach Ritch Price said.
And that what happened. As the No. 6 seed in the Big 12 tournament, the Jayhawks knew they were going to face a tough slate in pool play, which included No. 14 Oklahoma State, a tough West Virginia team and TCU,
which had a devastating pitching staff.
The Jayhawks began their run by defeating West Virginia 7-2, then knocking off Oklahoma State.
The Kansas bats didn't seem to care; the Jayhawks kept manufacturing runs. The pitchers came through, too, as they tossed their ninth shutout of the season in a 4-0 victory that advanced Kansas play Oklahoma in the Championship.
"Losing six in a row, mentally, it's very tough," senior shortstop Kevin Kuntz said. "We hadn't played in a week because of finals week, and I don't think the guys panicked. I think they were just games to get us back into a flow of pretty much playing again. I think that was huge going into the tournament. I feel that we

were better prepared going into it"
in the championship game, the Sooners jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and defeated the Jayhawks 7-2, winning the program's fifth tournament crown.
"The part that was disappointing for us was to give up three runs in the first," Price said. "To get down three-nothing in the first innning, that's a huge hole to die out of that early"
After the loss to Oklahoma, the Jayhawks had to wait and see if they would hear their name called for the opportunity to play in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
Kansas' name was never called. Kuntz said it was hard to take in, especially because they defeated teams that were selected.
"We beat Oklahoma State three out of four times, so we had their number," Kuntz said. "To hear their name get called for the tournament and not us, it kind of sucks making it to the

"Our league is going to be better," Price said, "which means we have to get better in order to stay where we were at in order to have a chance we had this year."

Player named Academic All-American
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Though the Jayhawks' softball season ended without a postseason bid, the honors kept ringing in for senior outfielder Maggie Hull.
Already a decorated player, Hull earned her most prominent achievement yet as she was named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America, the third Jayhawk ever to receive the title. "I've gotten some incredible honors in my career, but this is by far the most prestigious one that I've ever had", Hull said. "To be Academic All-American First Team is a huge honor."
Hull said being named Academic All-American is even more special because she's one of three outfielders who received the honor.
Not only does it serve Hull well to be listed among the select few whom
receive the award, it could potentially benefit the University down the road.
"I'm happy to have Kansas up there," Hull said. "As we're getting new players to come to the program, we can say that we're serious about athletics and academics. We can say, 'Look we had an Academic All-American in the recent years.'"
Coach Megan Smith said that the honor is even more prestigious than being named an All-American for just athletics.
"I mean the girls are here to play college softball, but they're also here to get an education," Smith said. "And [Hull] excels at both of those things. It's really exciting for one of our athletes to be acknowledged for their classroom efforts and on-the-field efforts."
and Spanish.
Excelling on the field and in the classroom are standards that Hull set for herself. She finished her academic career with degrees in both journalism
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Hull also matched that effort on the field as she became the University's all-time batting average leader for her career and the season. For the season, Hull batted a staggering .456 which was also third-best in Big 12 history. With the .456 average, Hull bumped her career average to .368.
"You never doubt Maggie Hull," Smith said. "She's a determined individual, and if you give her a challenge, she's going to rise up to that challenge. We gave her a challenge to be a hitter. She started off as a slapper, and we used her speed more and came in over the fall her sophomore year and was just on fire hitting. She hasn't stopped yet."

Hull has accumulated a long list of accolades. Along with being an Academic All-American, she was a NFCA All-Region First Team, All-Big 12 Second Team, Academic All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 Softball Co-

Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Not only was Hull one of a few selected to be an Academic All-American, she was one of a few who were selected in the National Pro Fastpitch league as a member of the Chicago Bandits. In the draft, Hull was selected 11th overall, which is the highest draft selection by any Kansas softball player in program history.
"The professional league is a dream
for all college softball players," Smith said. "Not many people get drafted and not many people get a chance to be a part of it. When we learned there was interest in Maggie, I was maybe more excited than her because I know what that means. It's really special for a league to handpick you to be a part of their team."

Unique café gains popularity, expands to new location
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Business wasn't booming when Brad Walters opened his Basil Leaf Cafe in a Phillips 66 gas station off of West Sixth Street.
It was the dead of winter in 2009, and the country was in the middle of the recession. The weather and the roads were bad; there was no traffic and no money to advertise — until the Lawrence Journal-World printed an article that shook the dust off of the Café's five dining tables.
"That just blew the roof off of it"
Walters said, "and we've been busier and busier ever since."

year."
The success of the Basil Leaf Cafe is propelling it into a much larger space at 616 W. Ninth St. In addition to creating a fresh atmosphere, Walters is getting a liquor license and expanding the menu. He hopes the new location is up and running by mid-July.
The current location is off-putting and difficult to find. There's no towering neon sign that announces it, and the Cafe still relies on advertising by word of mouth, but Walters believes that treating the customer right and giving the community a tasty product speaks for itself.
"We're not full of stuff frozen in freezers. Everything is homecooked and made from scratch."
The Phillips 66 kitchen at 3300 W. Sixth St. was cheap and had already proven itself as a successful restaurant space — it is the previous home of Tortas Jalisco and Biemer's BBQ.
"It was just a no-brainer financially," Walters said. "There wasn't much risk to me if it did go under and didn't make it that first
including Tellers and the Alvamai Country Club when he realized, if he wanted business to grow, he would have to do it for himself. He always wanted to own a restaurant, anyway.
"I figured it was time to just jump in and see if I could make it work," Walters said.

"We're not full of stuff frozen in freezers," Walters said. "Everything is home-cooked and made from scratch."
Although the pricing is modest, the heaping portions of upscale Italian cuisine served in black Styrofoam boxes can last a college student for a few days or can be perfect for a meal to split.
"It's filling, good food at a great value," he said. "And it keeps people coming back."

Downtown exhibition showcases local artistry
ELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
There are many artistic endeavors happening in Lawrence this summer. One, the Lawrence Outdoor Downtown Sculpture Exhibition, will open June 15.
The exhibition, now in its 25th year, features eight Lawrence artists' sculptures placed at different spots on Massachusetts Street as well as some of the public buildings in the area and the side streets.
"It's truly public art that is encouraging everyone to be able to enjoy the sculptures," said Diane Stoddard, assistant city manager. "Anyone who comes downtown is going to see them. It will really give local artists the opportunity to be involved and showcase their talents."
While the sculptures are already set up, the exhibition opening will include a reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. with juror Porter Arneill and some of the artists as well as a walking tour of the sculptures.
Stoddard said this year's exhibition is particularly special because it is exclusively for residents of Lawrence or those who live within 15 miles of the city.
Stoddard said that in the past, the exhibition entries were also open to regional and national artists' pieces.
II
Entry pieces were due at the end of January, and official selections from Arneill were announced at the end of March.
Artist Darin White, who submitted his piece "Tetramonobelos," said he has meant to submit a piece over the years and this year, being the 25th year, seemed an especially appropriate time to submit a piece for the exhibit.
"As an artist, one of the greatest prospects is to show your work in a public place," he said. "I hope people interact with the artwork and that it generates some discussions and potentially other opportunities to present work."

Revolutions may not answer civil unrest
I is cracking down on the government all it's cracked up to be?
By William Ashley
washley@kansan.com
Conventional liberal perspectives of international politics hold that violent revolution is the antidote to oppressive government. To those who subscribe to this paradigm, I ask one question. Can you name one violent revolution that lead to a democracy? I'm sure your immediate answer was, of course, the American Revolution. But upon closer examination, the result of the American Revolution was a thinly veiled oligarchy where blacks, women and those without property were not given voting rights. Similar trends are even more noticeable in the wake of the Arab Spring.
The Arab Spring garnered a great deal of attention in the last few years, even leading Time Magazine to bequeath the "Person of the Year" title to "The Protestor" in 2011. Indeed, The Arab Spring has been overwhelmingly venerated. But for what reason? The implicit assumption is that these once-
despotic nations are better off now that they are in the hands of "the people." Unfortunately, this is a cursory judgment.
As many of these ruinous nations climbed out of the smoldering heap left behind by the showers of destruction they were not greeted by the righteous arms of democracy, but by the iron fist of fundamentalist rule.
Not convinced? Let's take the Egyptian revolution for example. While they may be free from the clutches of Mubarak, they are now entranced by the Muslim Brotherhood — much to the misfortune of the Coptic Christians. Far from
democratic, the government is rife with corruption. In fact, the Egypt Court just ruled that the Muslim Brotherhood's ascension to the legislature was illegal, demonstrating that democracy doesn't come second nature to violent revolution
Even Tunisia, arguably the most moderate nation from the Arab Spring cohort is slowly succumbing to the Muslim Brotherhood. The assassination of Muslim Brotherhood Coalition Opposition Leader Chokri Belaid has proven that violence is still the rule of law in these nations, while President Moncef Marzouki's tepid resistance to these terror tactics speaks volumes of the powerlessness of the government.
Why do we see these trends? Step back a few decades in history and we have the Iranian theocratic revolution which deposed the Shah and installed the Ayatollah (who went on to earn the prestigious title of "most evil man in history" by many.)
Why didn't they create a democracy? Surely everyone in the world must want democracy. Thomas
Sowell of the Hoover Institution describes that one of the fundamental facets of democracy is tolerance: the willingness to let other people have freedom, not just want it for yourself. This is what the Middle East lacks.
POLITICS
So, how do we create peace in despotic regimes? The question is, in itself, a fallacy because democracy simply isn't what's best for most despotic nations. You may still think that these nascent governments will eventually evolve into democratic societies in the same manner America did.
But democracy cannot be bestowed nor cultivated if the lifeblood of said society, the people, do not wish it.
So long as their implacable desire for unadulterated monoculturalism persists, Middle Eastern and Northern African democracy will be a quixotic pursuit.

Two sides exist between the Turkish protests
Turkey is experiencing the largest protests since the election of Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan 10 years ago.
The root cause of these protests was the announcement that a famous park in Istanbul, Gezi Park, would be demolished to make way for a shopping mall. However, this protest has become about so much more. Protesters emerged who are firmly against Prime Minister Erdogan and his party, and the police have been brought in to quell the situation. But is Erdogan the fascist dictator the protesters make him out to be, or a decent leader?
These are questions to ask before the United States gets involved.
If President Barack Obama announced that Central Park would
By Mikaela Wefald
mwefald@kansan.com
The park demolition was simply the spark that ignited Turkish tensions about freedom speech, and a government that they feel is too heavy-handed. Perhaps the Arab Spring has finally reached Turkey, where citizens want more of a say in government and feel as if Erdogan has taken too much power
be destroyed in order to construct a shopping center, it only makes sense that there would be protests in New York.
However, would these protests last for over a week, with protesters braving tear gas for their cause? Probably not.
for himself. Erdogan's response to protests has not shown the world that he is a good leader, as he has dismissed claims of violence against protests (untrue) and maintained that the park will be demolished.
However, is this truly a case where the government needs to be overthrown? Is Prime Minister Erdogan bad for his country, or has he just made a serious misstep?
Unlike many rulers in the Middle East, Erdogan has been consistently (and legitimately) elected by popular opinion. He has gone a long way to ensure the future success of Turkey as a nation, and benefited the majority of the country. These protests also happen to coincide with a slowing Turkish economy, which may be why protests have just recently erupted. While the
violent response to protests cannot be ignored, and the decision to do away with Gezi Park was certainly a mistake, are these reason enough to depose a long standing Prime Minister who was just popularly reelected in 2011?
Whether Prime Minister Erdogan is good or bad for the nation of Turkey, it can be agreed that these protests are an important signal to the world, and can't be ignored. The first step of the Turkish government should be to resolve the issue of Gezi Park, and cease the violent responses.

MONEY
Poor credit scores limit jobs for recent graduates
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Even though you nailed the interview, that one time you came up short on a credit card bill or paid rent a day late can prevent you from landing a job.
"Not only are employers looking at your Facebook page and your Twitter," James Gentry said, "they're also looking at your credit scores in some cases and making decisions based on that."
Gentry, a professor of journalism who teaches courses in financial literacy and marketing communications, described the state of financial literacy in the country as "woeful," and there's no sense of urgency for undergraduate students to become aware of their credit histories and scores, even though they have influence in buying necessities such as housing, cars and insurance both now and in the future.
Employers checking credit scores has become more of a "hot button" topic in the past few years, he said. However, the problem is that students don't have a long credit history: if there's one small blemish, it becomes a big red flag for employers and lenders.
Seventy-six percent of college students have credit cards, with the average credit card debt carried by undergraduates accumulating to more than $3,000, according to statistics from the Federal Reserve, Join Economic Committee, Sallie Mae and TransUnion.
In Gentry's senior-level classes, less than half have credit cards.
"That means they're missing a chance to be developing their credit history," he said.
One of his students, Brendan Begley, grew up at a car dealership that taught him the importance of a high credit score. Before he graduated last month, he got a credit card and now has a "clean slate" for purchasing a car or home in the future.
"Being responsible with my credit decisions now will pay dividends eventually," he said.
At the Money Management Center, peer educator Yoonsook Chung advises that students hold off on getting a credit card until their senior year, or, if their parents have good credit history, to get access to their line of credit earlier.
The most important component of a credit score is payment history, says Chung, and it's difficult to recover from late payments.
"It's just plastic for them sometimes," Chung said of young credit card users. A pair of $100 jeans can turn into a $200 purchase if the balance isn't paid on time or soon thereafter.
To build a good credit history, get the right kind of credit card, buy what you already have money for, don't use more than 35 percent of the maximum credit limit and pay more than the minimum as soon as the bill comes.
"It's a challenging enough world under normal circumstances," Gentry said. "But if your finances are all screwed up, it's even worse."

RELATIONSHIPS
Hookups normal, overhyped by college students
Experts and students weigh the pros and cons of hooking up
10
AMBER KASSELMAN
akasselman@kansan.com
Remember the "Boom Boom Couple?" You know, the two who hooked up at The Hawk during Halloweenend of 2012, and then photos of it spread across the Internet like wildfire? The "Boom Boom Couple" is probably not the first twosome to be found in compromising positions in a college town. The culture of hooking up is everywhere, and it is nothing new.
"It's become the norm for college students because most of them aren't ready for a serious relationship, and that makes dating in the traditional sense unnecessary," said Andrea Lavinthal, co-author of "The Hookup Handbook."
Psychological Association. Laura Stepp, author of "Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both," defines hooking up as anything from kissing to intercourse.
Hookups are prevalent on college campuses, and so are the variety of options and misinformation about them. They can be fun, but they can also be hurtful.
Between 60 and 80 percent of college students in North America have had a hookup experience, according to "Sexual hook-up culture", a 2013 article published by the American
WHY IT WORKS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
After a hookup, 82 percent of college men and 57 percent of college women were glad they did it, according to "Sexual hook-up culture"
you than it is about the other person. You're figuring out what makes you happy in a partner"
"Most college students are figuring out who they are and who they want to be," Lavinthal said. "It's time for experimentation and exploration, and that extends to their romantic relationships. They can experience being with different people, which is fun and exciting. Hooking up is more about
Emma*a, a junior from Shawnee, said she has hooked up with guys whom she thought were cute and enjoyed them because of how she felt while hooking up.
"During a hookup, I feel good, confident, sexy and wanted," Emma said. She has hooked up with about a handful of guys, whom she usually met at parties.
Hookups can be ideal for students because they can still focus the majority of their time on studies, and there is no pressure to settle down. In 2010, the average woman got married at 27 and the average man at 29, which is up from 20 for women and 23 for men in 1960, according to "Barely Half of U.S. Adults Are Married - A Record Low," a 2011 article by the Pew Research Social and Demographic Trends. Both England and Stepp cited this as
a fundamental influence in hooking up as well.
Natalie Scott, a junior from Topeka said she hooks up because it is exciting, yet does not involve anything too complicated.

"It's just fun to be attracted to
someone," Scott said. "It can be self-affirming, and I don't have to worry about a relationship or baggage."
But hookups are often fueled by alcohol. Sixty-four percent of hookups

followed alcohol use, with the average occurring after three drinks, according to "Sexual hook-up culture."
"Under the influence of alcohol, I may not be interested otherwise or I'm not worried about the consequences," Scott said.
WHY IT DOESN'T
Not everybody is hot for hookups. After a hookup, 35 percent of students felt regretful or disappointed, 11 percent confused and 5 percent uncomfortable.
Hannah Whitten-Vile, a junior from Oakland, Calif., said there has been a couple of hookups she has regretted.
"Sometimes I feel gross afterwards
because I wouldn't have done it sober,
or I didn't really want it, but I didn't
say no either." Whitten-Vile said.
Regret can result from feelings of either using someone or being used as well.
More men felt sorry because they felt they used someone while women, felt regretful because they felt they had been used, according to "Sexual hook-up culture."
College campuses team with misconceptions about hookups, including the prevalence of them.
Students overestimated the number of sexual partners their peers had, according to a 2006 study by the American College Health Association. Kathleen Bogle, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University and author of "Hooking Up: Sex, Dating, and Relationships on Campus, said the pervasiveness of hookups varies campus to campus, including how often and what it involves.
"One misconception is that everybody hooks up or that it just involves sex," Bogle said. "It's definitely going on and is common, but there is a hyped view about it."
This glorified view can create a need to fit in and do what everyone else is doing, a feeling Whitten-Vile has experienced. "I used to feel pressure because the whole culture of hooking up was the way to have fun," Whitten-Vile said.
Both England and Bogle said hooking up can create a double standard against women, a principle that proved true with the "Boom Boom
Couple."
IS COURTSHIP DEAD?
No. About 52 percent of college students are in a relationship, according to a survey by the American College Health Association.
Donna Freitas, author of "The End of Sex: How Hookup Culture is Leaving a Generation Unhappy, Sexually Unfulfilled, and Confused About Intimacy," said that students may see hooking up as their only option, but many still want romance and to date.
"There are a huge number of students who value traditional dating," Freitas said.
Emma, who has been in a committed relationship since December, said she prefers relationships over hook ups.
"I have a strong connection with
my boyfriend, and even though we're in a long distance relationship, I would rather have that any day of the week," Emma said.
However, if students want to shift from hooking up to dating and have not had much experience with courting,they might find themselves in trouble.
"Some students haven't developed relationships skills or know how to date after college," Freitas said. "If it is all they know, then they replicate it out of college."

TELEVISION
Summer break provides ample opportunity to catch up on TV
By Kaitlyn Hilgers
khilgers@kansan.com
1. 'GAME OF THRONES'
Summer has officially started, meaning that a much needed break from school and homework is upon us. What is the best way to fill that break? Television — and lots of it. With all the choices available, it's hard to figure out exactly what fandom to immerse yourself into. That's why I am here to help you. Here are my top three picks for TV shows to watch this summer.
two killer episodes. Season three ended last Sunday, so if you were somehow able to stay away from all the spoilers, now is the time to watch the season (or if you really have enjoyed living under that rock and haven't watched any of it, it's time to jump on that bandwagon). It may seem like the obvious choice, but that is only because it is, in my opinion, the best television show currently on the air.
The newest season, while moving a bit slowly, has really been able to focus on the different relationships, and it ended with
THE KING'S LOVE
1985
2. 'ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT'
Social media has been abuzz with the newest addition to the
THE ORIGINAL GROUP
FOX
critically acclaimed series that has finally made its return to Netflix. The newest season opens with a scene of a young Lucille Bluth, played by Kristen Wiig, and a young George Bluth Sr., played by Seth Rogen, and honestly, no show could have started with a better pair. The cameos only get better as the season continues, and despite what audiences and critics may be saying about the show, the chemistry is there, the writing continues to be hilarious, and the acting is on a whole new level. One recommendation: have realistic expectation; understand the show has been gone for a while, so changes had to be made for the story to make sense.
3. 'FREAKS AND GEEKS'
"This is the End," to be released Wednesday, follows the story of a party at James Franco's house and is a sort-of reunion of the 1999 show that was canceled after one wonderful season. The movie is
already shown to have references to the show (check out the artwork in Franco's house) and many of the cast members are invited to Franco's party, such as Seth Rogen (Ken) and Martin Starr (Bill).
HBO
The show is definitely worth a watch, but it will slowly become an obsession, so make sure to take it in small doses.

excess HOLLYWOOD review
'The Internship' works overtime for laughs
Eight years after their uproarious "Wedding Crashers" proved that R-rated comedies could still score at the box office, the once-dependable Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson have reunited for "The Internship," a middling generational comedy that doubles as an alarmingly shameless two-hour infomercial about how nifty it might be to work for Google. In fact, director Shawn Levy's newest film may well represent the troubling future of big screen product placement: a movie where the characters, plot and setting are little more than the blunted utensils of a corporate giant bent on improved brand management. After all, if a company can be considered a person, why can't it be a movie star?
When their shiftless boss (John Goodman) declares bankruptcy to cover his early retirement to Florida, unemployed designer-watch salesmen Billy (Vaughn) and Nick (Wilson) are forced to reenter the job market with nothing to offer but their own motor-mouthed enthusiasm and a supposedly hilarious lack of familiarity with newfanged dooickeys like webcams, Harry Potter and the word "online" (all of which have been around since at least the 1990s). A combination of quick thinking and dumb luck eventually lands the duo in Google's summer internship program, a "mental Hunger Games" that wastes no time in supplying them with the requisite team of freaks and geeks to learn from and ultimately rearhead.
Vaughn and Wilson's "Wedding Crashers" chemistry remains largely intact, even as it rails against the labored blandness of the film's PG-13 rating. It's their individual sitticks that seem sadly played out at this point. Wilson, whose surfer-savant delivery and hangdog mannerisms have allowed him to essentially play the same character over and over again ("The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Midnight in Paris" being two rare and wonderful exceptions), looks visibly exhausted at being asked to once again summon the aw-shucks grin when courting an impossibly attractive workaholic (Rose Byrne).

Vaughn, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jared Stern, certainly hasn't done himself any favors by saddling Billy with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of 1980s pop culture analogies. The first "Flashdance" reference, delivered in the midst of a team-building exercise disguised as a real-world Quidditch match, is admittedly funny. The others grate harder than frozen cheese.
The younger interns, including a snarky texting addict (Dylan O'Brien) and a sexually repressed geek girl (Tiya Sircar), are all one-note variations of the millennial stereotype: entitled, tech-savvy and deeply insecure about themselves and their future. Aside from all-too-brief cameos from the likes of Will Ferrell and Rob Riggle, the one memorable presence is Josh Brener ("The Big Bang Theory") as Lyle, the put-upon team manager who proudly sticks up for his middle-aged charges.
For better or worse, though, the real star of "The Internship" is Google itself, who apparently didn't have to pay 20th Century Fox one red cent to produce a movie that could easily be mistaken for a feature-length advertisement. Company executives did exercise a degree of creative control, however, when they reportedly requested the excision of a scene that called for the destruction of one of their experimental self-driving cars. Their beautiful Mountain View, Calif. headquarters is likewise depicted as a spotless technocratic wonderland, combining the finer points of a college campus, a theme park and an alien mother ship. I was honestly amazed when the film's end credits didn't include a link to the Google Jobs webpage. Too subtle I guess.

'IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE
Seasonal beverages attract summer drinkers
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
Hot summer months mean cold summer drinks,and a way for students to expand their mixology skills.
Tim Hewitt, a senior from Arkansas City, has perfected his "summer brew," a homemade drink comprised of lemonade, beer, citrus vodka and champagne.
Hewitt said he uses two cans of pink lemonade concentrate, six light beers, two cups of citrus vodka and about half a bottle of sparkling champagne to make his drink.
Hewitt suggests using inexpensive ingredients, such as André, for the summer brew. He said the taste will basically be the same, so there's no need to shell out extra cash. His recipe for summer brew makes about one gallon, which he stores in a one-gallon sun tea container.
"With a group of four to five people, it takes about 45 minutes to drink." Hewitt said. "I try to make it about once every three weeks, or for small parties."
John Graves, the general manager of Tonic Bar at 728 Massachusetts St. said that once school gets out, customers tend to order more drinks associated with summer.
"We put out drink specials on margaritas and Coronas. We tend to sell a lot of tequila." Graves said. "People like to order drinks with bright colors like green, blue and red."
Another Lawrence favorite, The Sandbar, 17 Eighth St., is known for serving summer themed drinks year round. With tropical decorations and a laid back atmosphere, summer patrons can imagine they're sitting on a beach as they sip the famous Shark Attack cocktail.
Feeling creative? Crank up some Jimmy Buffet and try one of these homemade drinks this summer.

MUSIC
Felix Greene creates unique sound
SARAH NOONAN
snoonan@kansan.com
It started in a basement lined with rocky walls and cement floors. Four boys were brought together by a passion for music and a bright idea to become something great. The product was Felix Greene, a now local psychedelic blues band. Their mix of flawless vocals and addicting rhythms has captured the attention of many University students, local baroers and trendy Lawrence venues.
With Ryan Nelson on vocals, Matt Weiman on lead guitar, Sean Cahill on the drums and Will Schermon on the bass, Felix Greene has become a local favorite.
Nelson, lead singer and songwriter has been pursuing music since the seventh grade. It took a year of college football to realize singing was his true calling.
"There's not a whole lot of artists who sing from the heart anymore," Nelson said. "That's what I do. I sing. But without my band it wouldn't be possible."
The aspiring band landed their first gig at Phoggy Dog last spring, and have since played at Dempseys, Jackpot Saloon and the Granada. In return, they have built a significant fan base in the Lawrence area.
Alex Shaul, a recent University graduate, has watched the band grow from day one, and has become one of their biggest fans.
"They have a stage presence unlike any other band I've seen", Shaul said. "They're from a different era. It's a whole genre of its own."

A MONUMENTAL VICTORY
Women's track and field team claims first national title in University's history for any female sport
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The Kansas women's track and field team was welcomed at Allen Fieldhouse yesterday afternoon as they returned from Eugene, Ore. with the first national championship trophy for the school in women's track and field.
Coach Stanley Redwine and senior Andrea Geubelle thanked the fans for showing their support, and the team then raised the trophy together on James Naismith Court before walking over to the Wagnon Student Athlete Center for a press conference.
"We knew we had talent across the board," Redwine said at the press conference. "We knew it would be a team effort."
Of the 13 women that qualified to compete at the national championship meet, 11 earned points toward the overall team score.
The only Jayhawk to win an individual title was sophomore Lindsay Vollmer in the heptathlon, which came as a surprise to all six of the Kansas coaches, as well as Vollmer herself.
Vollmer set a personal record in six of the seven events of the heptathlon, and set a school record in the heptathlon as well as the tenth best score in NCAA championship history at 6,086 points.
"I never thought I was going to place that high at a national meet," Vollmer said. "I just wanted to do as well as I could do for the team."
Vollmer said each time she set a new personal record in one of the events of the heptathlon it gave her confidence that carried over to the next event.
"A PR (personal record) impacts
you a lot," Vollmer said. "It just boosts your confidence and raises you level of performance for the next event."
The Kansas victory was so dominant that, as coach Tom Hays pointed out at the press conference, the team would have won the title with just the 48 points it accumulated in the first three days of the four day competition.
The Jayhawks scored a total of 60 team points, winning by 16 points over Texas A&M.
"We're talking about a total team effort," Redwine said to the media. "It started with the coaching staff. The athletes did what we asked them to do, and did a great job. They bought into it because they wanted to achieve it."

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Self's former player joins coaching staff
Kansas coach Bill Self added a familiar face to his coaching staff as he announced the hiring of
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
new assistant coach Jerrance Howard.
Howard, a former player under Self while he was at Illinois from 2001 to 2004, will be replacing long-time Kansas assistant coach Joe Dooley.
YOHAN LEE
Howard
"It's almost surreal," Howard said. "It's a dream. I'm just glad to be a part of this tradition and this culture."
Howard comes to the University
after spending a year at Southern Methodist University under former Kansas coach Larry Brown. During his experience with Brown, Howard said he heard plenty of
stories and it was the "icing on the cake" for wanting to come to Lawrence.
"It's almost surreal. It's a dream. I'm just glad to be a part of this tradition and this culture."
"Me and coach Brown used to walk every morning, and hearing all the stories about the 1988 national title run and all the players on that team, the people in Kansas and how they still restock
the culture and it was still family," Howard said. "I was just so excited about listening to those stories and be apart of it now, it's unbelievable."
In a press release, Self said he is excited about the hire because of the background that Howard brings to the program and to the sidelines.
"Jerrance has great energy, is unbelievably positive and in a short amount of time has established himself as one of the better recruiters in college basketball." Self said in the press release. "Having worked for one of my former assistants, Billy Gillispie, and my former mentor Larry Brown, I'm totally comfortable with him coming in here, having a smooth transition and having an immediate.
JERRANCE HOWARD new assistant coach
positive impact on our program."
Howard said he wants to be the one to bring the energy and passion and keep the players motivated every minute of the game.
maker the hire even more special is that he will coach with Self and Norm Roberts, who he also played under while playing for the Fighting Illini.
