Although Calderon thinks that CVS no longer selling cigarettes and tobacco products is a step in the right direction, he thinks that it will be difficult to wipe out all cigarettes and tobacco product sales.
"The FDA can try all they want, but smokers will still have their way."

Dressed in a gold shirt playing the part of Osiris, Daniel Seddiqui, center, entertains the crowds including Addison Breiding, left, and Lauren Miko as he performs as one of the stilt walkers outside the Mummy ride at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., May 7, 2009. Seddiqui traveled across the country, doing a different job for a week in all 50 states.
In 2008 after failing yet another job interview, Daniel Seddiqui wondered to himself where all the job opportunities were in the United States. Soon after, he embarked on a journey to work a different job in each of the 50 states.
As a follow-up to "50 Jobs in 50 States," Seddiqui is lecturing at colleges across the country about finding a career, finding your passion and understanding culture and lifestyle. Seddiqui's lecture at the University is Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. The lecture will be
understanding central university Sediciu's lecture at the University is Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. The lecture will be in the Big 12 room in the Kansas Union.
Q: What ultimately inspired you to work 50 jobs in 50 states?
A: A combination of building awareness and desperation. I couldn't find work after college, so naturally I wanted to find opportunities anyway that I could, and learn what I've been doing wrong. There were many breaking points that led me to the journey, so there were enough signs to say, hey, we've got to do something drastic and unconventional.
Q: What was your favorite job? What was your least favorite?
A: There are many great jobs out there that I wouldn't have otherwise discovered, like forecasting weather on TV or hydrology, where we hiked in the Rocky Mountains. I really liked most jobs because it was a chance to learn different industries that shape our country. The worst was lobstering in Maine because of being seasick and I couldn't control my performance on the site.
Q: What state did you like the most?
A: I liked all places that I hadn't visited previously, like Arkansas, Kansas and South Carolina, because I wanted to learn about what the rest of the country goes through.
Q: What job did you work in Kansas? Did you enjoy it?
A: Meatpacking, and no. It was great to finally learn how food is processed, which I appreciate the work people decide, but it wasn't out of sight, out of mind, in the job. That's what made it
tough, the fact that you had to face the discomfort of gunning down animals and then processing them by hand, no machinery used.
Q: What was the most challenging job?
A: When you're not focused, it could be a near impossible task. When you know what you
A: All were a challenge and that's what helped

LinkedIn connects students, future employers
ALEX LAMB entertain@kansan.com
Between seventh and 10th grade, most of us realized the social importance of having a Facebook, so we created profiles on the site. Now, between beginning college and entering the job market, comes the realization of LinkedIn's importance as a tool for the professional world.
A LinkedIn profile essentially serves as your online resume. In addition to what's normally on your CV, like previous jobs and experiences, you also need a professional profile picture and a succinct description of your expertise. Then you can choose accurate keywords for the
"skills and endorsements" section that showcase the breadth of your talent.

Customized cover letters strengthen job applications
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
How do you sum up your skills, past experiences and creativity in one page for a future employer? The cover letter. According to the KU Career Center, the purpose of a cover letter is to motivate the employer to invite you to an interview.
Journalism professor and career development coordinator Patty Noland agrees. She said the cover letter is the document that will get you the interview. She breaks down the letter into four parts:
1. THE ADDRESS AND INTRODUCTION (2-3 SENTENCES)
Always address the letter to the name provided in the job listing and if you cannot find that name, address it: "Dear hiring manager." After the address is the introduction of yourself — your name, when and where you graduated and your major.
An article in U.S. News by Robin Reshaw says that if you have a connection with someone at the company you should address the connection in your opening sentences.
2. CUSTOMIZE YOURSELF TO THE COMPANY (3-4 SENTENCES)
This is where you talk about why you like the company. Noland says this part is where people tend to make the biggest mistake because a cover letter should be less about yourself and more about the company.
"You need to make sure you show interest in
the company and show them what it is about the company that appeals to you," Noland says.
3. WHY ARE YOU AN ASSET TO THE COMPANY? (3-4 SENTENCES)
The third part is about yourself and why you would be a good asset to the company. Highlight the best and most applicable parts of your resume in this section and keep it to about four sentences.
4. THE SALUTATION AND FOLLOW-UP (1-2 SENTENCES)
The final part is the salutation. Thank the company for its consideration and say that you will contact them within the next week.
Noland says that following up with the company to make sure they have received your application is crucial and shows initiative.
For more tips on how to write the perfect cover letter, the University Career Center has numerous resources explaining how to write a cover letter and other guides for entering the job market.

Majors recognized for emerging job opportunities
JAMIE KOZIAL
Geology is no. 5 on Forbes "15 Most Valuable Majors." Bryce Cornejo, a geology major from Wichita, took Geology 360 in the summer. Geology classes, like Geology 360, take students to Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming so students can observe rocks, structures and mapping of geological features that are millions of years old.

The majors listed below are chosen from Forbes" "15 Most Valuable Majors." As you're looking through this list, you will notice most of them are engineering majors. Wendy Shoemaker, the Senior Associate Director at the University's Career Center, said if you have technical skills, you would most likely find a job right out of college.
out of college. "They are such difficult skills to acquire and a small group of people have those skills," Shoemaker said."The demand for these people is so high right now," Shoemaker said.
1. BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, people majoring in biomedical engineering work in biology and medicine, studying to improve the standard of care for patients. They'll work in hospitals or research facilities designing or testing new products. By 2022, biomedical engineering jobs are projected to increase 27 percent. The University has many different facilities and centers for bioengineering majors and graduate students to conduct research, including the Bioengineering Research Center, The University of Kansas Cancer Center and Hoglund Brain Imaging Center.
Peter Muehlbach, a junior from Prairie Village is majoring in chemical engineering with a pre medical concentration and a math minor.
"I've known I've wanted to be an engineer major since high school," Muehlbach said. "After college, I plan to go to med school if I'm accepted."
2. BIOCHEMISTRY
The University's Undergraduate Biology Program website says that biochemistry is the study of "all the chemical processes of organisms." In simpler terms, it explains how every essential part of life lives and works. At the University of Kansas, to major in biochemistry there are a few prerequisites you must complete. Once the biochemistry degree is achieved, there are many different jobs available in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural and biotechnology industries and even more opening up. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the entry level of education needed to get a job in biochemistry is a doctoral or professional degree. From 2012 to 2022, jobs are supposed to grow by 19 percent.
3. PETROLEUM ENGINEERING

drill oil and gas from wells. Bobby Archer, a junior from Fort Collins, Colo., chose to major in petroleum engineering.
petroleum engineer. "I want to work outside and have the opportunity to get my hands dirty," Archer said.
He said when college is over, his ideal job would be working off-shore as a drilling engineer and overseeing how the drilling process is going. He knew that job opportunities in oil drilling are always needed (The Bureau of Labor Statistics said jobs should increase by 26 percent from 2012 to 2022.) With the availability of jobs and working outside doing something he likes, petroleum engineering seemed to be a good fit for Archer.
4. CIVIL ENGINEERING
According to the University's School of Engineering website, civil engineers study to design structures that we use everyday, such as bridges, tunnels, roads, dams, and so on. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, civil engineering jobs should increase 20 percent from 2012 to 2022. Recently the University's GeoTech group was chosen to compete at the national GeoWall competition in Atlanta, Feb. 23 to 26. Graduate students and civil engineering undergraduate students made up the GeoTech team. GeoWall competitions involve teams making a wall out of poster board and later the wall's strength is tested.
5. GEOLOGY
Geology is the study of the earth, what it's made of and how everything works together. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 38,200 geology-related jobs were available in 2012. The University's Geology Department has different categories of geology majors, including environmental geology, earth and space science, engineering geology and environmental geology. It also uses different research facilities, including the Natural History Museum, Kansas Geological Survey and the Paleontological Institute.

"It's really good that CVS is getting rid of cigarettes because it's saving lives," Calderon said. "I smoke but I don't advocate for it. It's horrible and if I could take it back and not have started smoking I totally would and I recommend nobody start."
Although Calderon thinks that CVS no longer selling cigarettes and tobacco products is a step in the right direction, he thinks that it will be difficult to wipe out all cigarettes and tobacco product sales.

Career counselor's tips ease job search
CORRINE DORRIAN
entertain@kansan.com
Wendy Shoemaker, the senior associate director at the University Career Center, works with KU students and the people in the Lawrence community on their quest to finding a job through career counseling.
The Career Center provides decision making support for those looking to land a great job. With 300 programs a year, presentations in classrooms, and events such as "Resume Review Day", the career counselors are here to help in every way possible.
Shoemaker, a former teacher, came up with a system to having a successful job search campaign based on her own personal experiences with job searching.
Here are her tips to make your search easier and to find a great job:
1. START WITH FOCUS
Define your job targets early on. Know exactly what you're looking for because it can get frustrating without that knowledge.Do your research.Come up with a Plan A,B and C.Like each of those plans equally just in case one does not work out, you always have something to fall back on that you will enjoy just as much.
2. INVOLVE PEOPLE IN YOUR SEARCH
Ask people for help and get them involved in your search. This could be family, friends, neighbors, professors, anyone. Remember the importance of networking — 80 percent of today's jobs are landed through networking. College is a perfect time to learn how to network by getting involved in activities around campus. Professionalize your social networking profiles because employers will see what you are doing online. Use social media to your advantage and show your interest/commitment in that field by
discussing things related to that profession.
3. LEARN THE "SECRET HANDSHAKE"
Every company and profession has very unique values specific to them and you'll need to be aware of that. Do your research beforehand and make sure your resume speaks to that company and shows your knowledge of what they do.
Most jobs will give you specific directions of what they want on an application; it's important to follow the directions they give you. Do research and take the time to know how your experiences fit with them.
4. PREPARE AND PRACTICE YOUR INTERVIEW
4. PREPARE AND PRACTICE YOUR INTERVIEW Take the time to practice beforehand by asking yourself why you are a good match for that company. What are your special qualities? Have those examples known. When speaking, say "for example" and tell stories. Show that you are the best candidate based on your preparation and research.
5. FINISH WITH GRACE
Have common courtesy. Send thank you notes to your employer and be sure to thank your reference list. Also, be sure to update your references on what you are doing and the outcome. It's the best way to maintain and keep building your network.
6. KEEP AN OPEN MIND
Don't neglect opportunities and be open to trying new things. You never know where it can lead.

CVS estimated that it would lose about $2 billion dollars in sales from customers that enter the store to buy cigarettes and tobacco products.
Ashley Hrabe, a junior from Salina, is the founder of Breathe Easy At KU (BEAK), an organization that "promotes a healthy environment for all through a tobacco-free KU." The organization has administration and faculty support and is currently trying to gain student support for its initiative through student petitions. Its goal is to make the University a tobacco-free campus by July 1, 2015.
Hrabe said that the program began with a slow start but is now picking up speed and recently received a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation to help pursue the organization's efforts.

How to: clean up social media
entertain@kansan.com
Wake up, tweet. Go to class, Snapchat. Go to lunch, scroll Instagram. Study in the library, browse Pinterest.
Social media has become part of the daily routine. In fact, you're probably scrolling your Twitter timeline and watching cat vines as you read this article. However, this is not a "social media is ruining our lives" article. This article is about how social media is affecting your job search, because graduating with a degree and getting a job is our ultimate goal...right?
Many would be surprised that social media can actually help you find and get a job. According to Mashable.com, many employers are using "social recruiting," which means companies are looking for potential job candidates on social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Senior psychology major, Austin Lentz, said that he used Facebook to ask his friends about available jobs in the area.
"A lot of people have bad things to say about social media, but it can be helpful because you can post one thing to over thousands of people in a matter of seconds," Lentz said. "I think using social media for finding jobs is very convenient and it makes sense because it's something we use every day."
However, the convenience of using social media for your job search can have negative effects too. If you can find jobs on those popular websites, those jobs can also find you. Even if you don't use social media to find your job, employers are still looking at your profiles to see what kind of person you are. If an employer searches your name on Facebook and sees that your profile picture is you shirtless doing a keg stand outside The Hawk, you might not get that second interview, so it is important to keep your media clean.
Edited by Katie Gilbaugh
Use this check list to start cleaning up your social media use
---
Privacy
A lot of social media sites give you the option to make your profile private so that only friends can view your photos and information.
Delete, Delete, Delete
Before you begin your job search, go through all of your media pages (including that old Myspace page) and delete anything that would make your grandma cringe.
---
Post With Caution
Now that you are entering the workforce, you have to hold yourself to a higher standard when you post information. This means no more wild party pics or late night Twitter rants, because you never know who is watching. Think before you post.
613
Watch the Company You Keep
According to the Staffing Resource Group (sgr-us.com) employers are not just looking at your profiles, but they are looking at your friend's profiles, too. We've all heard the saying "birds of a feather flock together", which basically means that your friends are a reflection of you. Make sure you are friendling the right people.
-
Personal vs. Professional
If it is absolutely killing you to delete that keg stand picture, another option you have is to keep a private personal profile and a public professional profile. Keep your online personas split so that your followers are happy and your prospective employers are happy.

Dress the part to impress potential future employers

When it comes to nailing your interview, confidence is key. First impressions are everything and often times picking out the perfect interview outfit can be stressful — but it also may be a deciding factor in whether or not you are offered a job.
are offered a job However, dressing professionally does not have to compromise your personal style. Dress to impress from head to toe with these staple interview items.
GIRLS:
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN Business professional attire is key to looking dedicated and can impress potential employers.
A classic pencil skirt in neutral colors can be easily paired with a variety of tops (blouses, cardigans and blazers) so owning one is essential to any working woman's wardrobe. When it comes to accessories, make a statement with colored pumps, smaller statement necklaces, and a matching bag. Also keep an eye out for a work appropriate LBD. Keep in mind modest necklines and length, aiming for pieces that hit below the knee. H&M has a large variety of office apparel, including work-appropriate dresses, jackets, skirts and shirts all ranging from $15 to $25 dollars.
Tessa Magana, a senior from Overland Park, hires people at her job and has seen both good and bad interview outfits. "Business casual is great for interviews for both genders, and it's not too expensive. Stay away from jeans and short dresses, and make sure to iron," Magana said.
Keep your makeup simple and sophisticated by opting for a more natural look. Give your cheeks a soft blush, a swipe of mascara, and use neutral earth toned eye shadows. Save the smokey eye and brightly colored lips for a night out, and keep the attention on your rocking resume.
Allison Bingham, a junior from Blue Valley, shared her go-to job interview style. "I usually go for nice dress pants or a pencil skirt, closed toed heels or flats, a button down shirt or blouse, simple accent jewelry and natural makeup," Bingham said.
are all kinds of options for guys dress clothing. Retire that suit and tie, and opt for sweaters over button up dress shirts in a variety of colors. I recommend starting with the basics: red, grey royal blue and black. These can easily be paired with dress pants, and made more formal with the addition of ties in coordinating colors.
However, if your interview does require a suit, make sure it is well fitting and tailored to your body type. Stand out with a navy or charcoal grey suit rather than traditional black.
Willis Luong, a sophomore from Blue Valley, said it doesn't just involve what you are wearing, but how well your clothing is maintained. "You can never go wrong wearing a polo or button up with khakis. But you have to make sure you have them maintained — no wrinkles or stains. It shows that you know how to take care of yourself and your interviewers will definitely take note."

KEEP IT FRESH
Improve interview skills with these tips
HANNAH BARLING
entertain@kansan.com
Landing an interview is only step one of getting a job. Mastering the interview is another ball game.
Here are five tips on how to own a job interview and knock out those difficult questions with ease.
Act natural
Making a great first impression
First impressions are extremely important in the job market and you want to present yourself with the right amount of confidence. When walking into an interview, keeping your chin up and having a smile on your face are both signs of self confidence and strength. Introduce yourself and make it a point to remember the interviewer's name as soon as they say it. Addressing them by name and with a smile will go a long way.
Nerves can be in full gear leading up to and throughout the interview. Stay calm; treat the interview as more of a conversation rather than a structured question and answer session. Employers are not only looking for skills and talent, but also what kind of person you are and how you may fit into the workplace.
Pay attention
Make sure to look the interviewer in the eyes to show you are listening and actively engaging in the conversation. Pay careful attention to the questions the interviewer is asking to ensure you answer them fully and with certainty.
Don't over-prepare
Sure there are the typical questions that can be prepared for that any employer would ask. For example: Why do you think you're fit for our company? What are some of your strengths? What has led you up to this point in your career?
But, most of these questions could be answered on the spot just as well as if you'd prepared hours before.
Carefully listening to the questions and being relaxed will allow for you to answer them truthfully and confidently.
Know what makes you stand out
When the difficult questions do come along, don't panic. Reflect on your talents and accomplishments when preparing for an interview. Getting a job is a competition; you are up against other interviewees who are after the exact same thing. Know what to say when asked your best accomplishment is or what skills or insight you may have that others don't. Talent and experience are only part of getting hired. Show employers your uniqueness and prove to them why you are the best candidate.

Internships allow for real-world advantage
MAC LEANDER entertain@kansan.com
ternships had landed job better. It is clear that internships that offer hands-on experience, whether paid or unpaid, can set you apart from the rest. A paid internship may be ideal but if these are hard to find in your industry, an unpaid internship may still be able to offer valuable networking opportunities.
According to BusinessWeek.com, "top companies often rely on their internship programs for as much as 90 percent of their new college hires, so an applicant without an internship is at a big disadvantage." And according a study conducted last spring by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, "63 percent [of students] with paid internships had landed jobs before graduation."
Allison Kite, a sophomore from Overland Park found the most efficient way to search for intern-
Internships help students not only get an interview with future employers, but land the job because of their relevant work experience. Employers feel confident in hiring those who have already experienced and understand the real-world workforce.

University professors are only one of many resources for students. Resource centers across campus house books with contacts of alumni for students to network with. If you're unsure where to begin internship hunting, there are career advisors ready to help students succeed.

ships is through University faculty. It was Wayne Larson, former recruitment and retention coordinator for the journalism school, who recommended Kite to her to her current internship as the communications intern for the University of Kansas School of Business.

"Wayne Larson recommended me to my current boss Austin Falley because he thought I had the skills necessary for the job," Kite said. "He thought that it would really benefit me in terms of getting involved and getting that first foot in the door on an internship."
A handwritten effort
HALLIEE HOLTON entertain@kansan.com
Thank-you notes are not just for holidays and birthdays. Thank-you cards and follow-up notes are a commonly missed part of the job application process. While applicants in search of a job frequently skip this simple step, a quick note to your interviewer or boss could make the difference between getting the job and still being on the hunt.
really make.
Kelsey Ploeger, assistant director at the University Career Center, said that sending a thank-you note after an interview demonstrates that you're the type of person that's willing to go the extra mile. It will show you're a candidate who is conscientious and professional and will ultimately allow you to be set apart from the rest.
In the world we live in, full of tweeting, texting and Facebooking, a handwritten note seems almost unheard of. Most would think that an email would be sufficient in order to express your gratitude. But how much of a difference does the handwritten effort really make?
If you're going to sit down and write a thank-you note you should simply express your gratitude. Thank the interviewer for his or her time and the opportunity at hand. Make it clear that you're excited about this specific job, not just getting a job in general.
"I am always an advocate of the handwritten thank you," Ploeger said.
specific job, not just getting a job Then try referencing something that went well with the interview. Draw upon a specific conversation and try to tie that back to what you can bring to the organization if you were to receive the position you applied for.
While the handwritten gesture seems like a stretch, you won't need more than three to five sentences. Keep it short and sweet.
"It doesn't need to be too long that it would be wordy, but not too short that it would be impersonal." Ploeger said.
Ploeger said that the only time an email is acceptable is if your interview takes place in a room full of people or is for an international job.

Hopefully you're grabbing a pen as you leave your next job interview. It can mean a handwritten difference.

Polished resumes help job applicants stand out
ANDREW HOSKINS entertain@kansan.com
While spring is a time of long-anticipated warmth and relaxation for most, many college students find themselves trapped in the throes of summer internship and job-application deadline stress.
Scary questions lurk in the back of many minds:
"Will I ever find a job? Will any company take me as an intern?" While the future is never certain, there are a few things you can do to make your resume a shine a bit brighter than everyone else's.
avoid sounding arrogant
1. SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE - As a college student, employers realize you can't have much job experience. Even if you do have a couple of internships under your belt, you aren't at any level of professional expertise, so don't claim to be. Instead, subtly relay past accomplishments that match the work you'd be doing for your potential employer. You then build relevant credibility and
2. YOU ARE AN ADVERTISER — Your product is you. Advertising professionals seek to creatively answer this question: "Why would someone buy this product?" Ask yourself, "Why would someone hire me?" Privately list your strengths, then use your resume as a tool to detail how you've embodied them in your past work experience.
Michael Garrett, a junior from Lenexa, agrees that you have to detail your successes.
"If I were to put executive director of the Big Event, I'd explain what it was and why it's an important accomplishment, rather than just the title," Garrett said
3. EMBODY SOPHISTICATION ON PAPER — Human resources officers across the world see hundreds of bland, black-and-white resumes a year. Their hearts lift just a little when they see that rare resume with life. Don't be afraid to use color, unique formatting or even graphics to express
your goals and work, especially if entering a creative field. Don't go overboard; keep it sleek and chic. Printrunner.com is a user-friendly, free resource for resume-formatting options impossible on a Word document.
4. READ A DICTIONARY — Most employers realize writing isn't everyone's forte, but if you use strong, colorful, active verbs to describe your work history and goals, they'll notice "Launched" "delegated" or "superseded" get second glances. "Started," "worked" or "took over" get forgotten. Bremner Editing Center Coordinator Lisa McLendon said the most common mistake she sees when editing students' resumes is typos. She recommends third-party editing.
"My advice is to have another person look over it," McLendon said. "You've read your resume a hundred times, and you're so familiar with it at that point that you just won't see mistakes anymore. A fresh set of eyes will be a big help."
5. KNOW WHERE YOU'RE HEADED — Spend time soul-searching. Are you eager to enter your field, or just anticipating a big paycheck? Genuine passion for your future career makes job searching exciting and natural rather than daunting and tedious. If you're uneasy about the direction your life is headed, step back and discover what makes you happy.
FINAL PIECE OF ADVICE: McLendon said students should aim to "show" rather than "tell" when writing a resume.
writing a resume.
"Every resume is going to say the person is 'dedicated, hardworking and energetic,'" McLendon said. "Don't tell me you are these things — show me an example of something you did that will make me think, 'This person is really dedicated' or 'This person has so much energy.'"

SENTIMENTS ON SOCHI
WINTER OLYMPICS
University professors talk security, politics and conditions of the 2014 Olympics
KATE MILLER
news@kansan.com
After the first week of the 2014 Winter Olympics, social and political issues surrounding the games have received international attention. Security, President Vladimir Putin's politics and inadequate housing for journalists are at the height of the Olympics scrutiny. University of Kansas professors at the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREES) gave insight on some of these issues.
Sochi security
sians are not alone in attempting to contain these threats. Gerald Mikkelson, a professor of CREES, explained that international forces are joining together to provide security for these games, creating a safer environment for all involved.
Visiting Fulbright scholar and professor Dr. Valery Khan, an Uzbekistan native and Korean-Russian, said security is as
and they are demanding their rights and equal treatment, and they are much farther away from getting that than they are in the United States." Khan explained that the anti-gay legislation is not as severe as Western media has portrayed it to be. The laws specifically refer to "pro-gay propaganda" that can reach children. "This is not an anti-gay law"
"This is not an anti-gay law,"
Security is as vital as ever in these Olympic Games, with attacks in surrounding areas and reports inspiring an increased level of security for airlines into Sochi. However, security concerns may not be as threatening as they appear to be.
"If anything, Sochi unites the Russians...It stirs up their patriotism and nationalism."
MARIYA OMELICHEVA associate professor and director of CREES
"Of course, there will be lots of security concerns, but there is no way to assess the magnitude of the threats," said Mariya Omelicheva, associate professor and director of CREES. "The threat is real, but it has definitely been exaggerated by the media. No one can say exactly what the level of threat will be."
The biggest current threat to the games is the group Imarat Kavkaz in Russia, which has publicly announced its plans to disrupt the Olympics in some way. In addition, concerns about explosives hidden in toothpaste and cosmetic containers have arisen out of declarations from a Chechen rebel extremist leader and CIA detections of "chatter." The Rus-
difficult to measure in Russia as it is anywhere else in the world.
Political controversy
Another area of concern for international viewers is Russian President Vladimir Putin's anti-gay legislation. These strict laws have inspired boycotting by some organizations, while others have blatantly flaunted their support for gay rights, such as Greece's rainbow-fingered gloves in the Olympic opening ceremonies and Google's pro-gay rainbow Olympic doodle on the opening day of the games. These protests have had little effect on Puin's stance on homosexuality.
"The Russian parliament is particularly sensitive and paranoid about the whole business of gays," Mikkelson explained. "There are lots of gay people in Russia, as there are everywhere else in the world,
he said. "It doesn't mean that gays cannot participate in the Olympic Games. If you're an adult, you can do what you want, but you have no right to make that kind of propaganda among children. There is no discrimination."
Khan explained that the situation of gay people in Russia is not as drastic as it appears.
"If you come to Russia, on the street, everywhere, you can see [gays,"] he said. "There is no problem. It is an artificial problem, I guess." Omelicheva explained that Putin has actually become more popular among Russians because of these games; despite what negative press the international media have been giving him. "If anything, Sochi unites the Russians around this project," she said. "It stirs up their patriotism and nationalism,
and actually improves Putin's rankings, because he comes across as a strong man who is able to stand up to the Western media's criticisms. He hasn't had this level of approval among Russians since his first couple of years as president." Mikkelson also said the Russian people see the Sochi Olympics as a way to reclaim their status as a major player in international politics. "One of the most important reasons, in the Russians' minds, when they started making plans for the Winter Olympics was to, number one, re-establish Russia's prestige in the world. Russians have a kind of inferiority complex when it comes to being compared with the United States, particularly."
Housing and construction concerns
Part of this media criticism has arisen out of the inadequate living conditions of international journalists covering the games. Photos and videos of unfinished hotel rooms in Sochi have flooded Twitter, even inspiring the account @SochiProblems. Omelicheva said the subpar housing for journalists is partly due to the migrant workers who built these new hotels. Their work ethic — a cause of the unfinished hotels — is a direct result of their small salary, which is still more than they could hope to earn in their hometowns. Mikkelson said the housing

- Egor Agafonov
Q: As an athlete and a Russian, what is your opinion on the political and social issues surrounding the Sochi Olympic Games?
A: I'm trying not to concentrate on them. I know that there's always some noise around any athletic events. Personally, I'm trying to support the athletes, because I know how hard it is to qualify for the Olympics, and it's their holiday, so they should enjoy their presence over there. It's an honor to be able to compete for their countries.
A: They are showing their best performances. Hopefully, they can improve later on and that's why Russians are looking towards ice hockey, because that is one of their biggest sports for Russians. So that is what everyone is expecting--for the Russian team to do well. That's going to be the most important event for Russians.
Q: How do you feel about Russia's performance and how the Russian athletes are presenting themselves so far in the games?
Q: What would you say to KU students who may not be getting the full picture of the Sochi Olympics?
A: They should support their countries and cheer for them. It's an event that happens only every four years, so it's very,very unique for athletic competitions.

CVS to stop selling cigarettes, tobacco
DARCEY ALTSCHWAGER
news@kansan.com
Beginning Oct. 1, 2014, CVS pharmacy will stop selling all cigarettes and tobacco products nationwide in more than 7,600 of their stores.
"It's the right time and the right decision to remove cigarettes and tobacco products from our store shelves, positioning us for a growing role in the health care delivery system," said Larry Merlo, president and CEO, in video statement released on cvs.com.
CVS estimated that it would lose about $2 billion dollars in sales from customers that enter the store to buy cigarettes and tobacco products.
Ashley Hrabe, a junior from Salina, is the founder of Breathe Easy At KU (BEAK), an organization that "promotes a healthy environment for all through a tobacco-free KU." The organization has administration and faculty support and is currently trying to gain student support for its initiative through student petitions. Its goal is to make the University a tobacco-free campus by July 1, 2015.
"To make a campus tobacco free, the policy would include not allowing the use of tobacco products on campus so that would include anything from cigarettes to chewing tobacco," Hrabe said.
University policy states that smoking is prohibited inside or within 20 feet of any building on campus. Anyone who violates that law could face a fine between $100 and $500.
Hrabe said that the program began with a slow start but is now picking up speed and recently received a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation to help pursue the organization's efforts. Hrabe hopes that CVS no longer selling any tobacco products will start a trend in the tobacco industry. She also feels that CVS's program will help her own efforts on campus.
"I feel like they are definitely going to be a strong influence on [tobacco use] not only at KU but also in the Lawrence community," Hrabe said. Carlos Calderon, a freshman from Leavenworth, has been smoking for the past year and a half. Calderon said on average he smokes about every three

or four days but is trying to cut back because he is feeling the negative effects of shortness of breath and a bad cough. Calderon usually buys his cigarettes from a gas station or the CVS located on Iowa Street, but is still supportive of the action CVS will be taking against selling cigarettes and tobacco products.
"It's really good that CVS is getting rid of cigarettes because it's saving lives," Calderon said. "I smoke but I don't advocate for it. It's horrible and if I could take it back and not have started smoking I totally would and I recommend nobody start."
Although Calderon thinks that CVS no longer selling cigarettes and tobacco products is a step in the right direction, he thinks that it will be difficult to wipe out all cigarettes and tobacco product sales. "The FDA can try all they want, but smokers will still have their way."

Lawmakers consider online education bill
TERRI HARVEY news@kansan.com
The Kansas legislature discussed a bill on Feb. 6 that could expedite the University's approval for out-of-state online programs. If passed, the bill would lower processing fees and wait times for out-of-state students.
The Kansas legislature discussed a bill on Feb. 6 that could expedite the University of Kansas' approval for out-of-state, online programs. The law would affect the University's administrators, by simplifying the application and approval process for out-of-state students taking online classes. The bill would allow Kansas to participate in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement, or SARA, which creates standards for online courses and allows automatic authorization for out-of-state higher education courses within the state rather than seeking approval from other states.
Julie Loats, director of the Center for Online and Distance Learning (CODL), said staff members aren't concerned the bill will lead more students to choose an online degree instead of a regular one on campus.
DANI MALAKOFF/KANSAN
"KU is looking to expand its offerings to students who can't come here, not necessarily to replace its offerings for
students who are here for regular programs," Loats said.
SARA should not affect the average student at the University; it is not meant to keep out-of-state students in their home state.
牛 . .
"That isn't really the point of SARA," said Raphael Schuster, a freshman from Seattle, Wash. "If I wanted to stay at home and take classes, I could do that and drive to the University of Washington every day, but that's not the idea."
The University offers mostly out-of-state, online graduate degree programs that are very specialized. Diede said that the majority of online students with the University are already teachers in their field and are looking to obtain a particular degree.
"I have to contact every state to offer these programs and sometimes they charge a fee," said Laura Diede, assistant director of the CODL. "Every state can make their own rules; some fees are very, very high. I think that's where we're going with SARA, to cut down on the

charges on the states."
"From a cost-saving perspective it would absolutely make a big difference for us," Loats said. "As a public institution that is accredited, going through a process of either exemption or authorization seems excessive for what we have already established as an R1 accredited
Obtaining approval from some states is costly and time consuming.
institution. The University has spent $4,500 this fiscal year on application fees or state authorization alone, according to Loats. The University is estimated to spend $114,450 overall this year for first time approval and an additional $90,400 for subsequent renewal years. SARA could mean a significant difference in cost as well as time for out-of-state approval.
"It's really just a simpler procedure, it's not a significant difference for the University. It would allow the people who are processing to have an easier route to get this permission; it would be more streamlined," Diede said.

If passed, the bill is estimated to go into effect in 2015.
issues are not a large concern to the Russian government. What concerns the leaders of Russia is the image presented on television, not the Internet.

SOCHI FROM PAGE 1
"Those millions of people around the world who are watching the Winter Olympics on television aren't going to see any of the inadequate housing," Mikkelson said. "I'm sure the Russian authorities are doing the best they can to ensure there is no investigative journalism going on around there — they just want the 'oohs' and 'aahs' about who wins what and how beautiful all this stuff is."
He also added that political corruption has likely played a role in the hurried construction. "Nothing like this is undertaken without the people who undertake it expecting to make big bucks out of it themselves," Mikkelson said. "Corruption is rampant; it is an organic part of the system. They are enriching themselves on this. The unofficial calculations always include a large subsidy for the Russians who are in charge."
Khan noted that, while criticism has arisen due to the
great expense of these Olympics, the government planned the reconstruction of Sochi long before it became the site for the games. Sochi has always been a resort town, and by improving the city, the Russians hope to increase tourist traffic, as well as present a positive image to the world.
"The Russian media know about the inadequacies, but unfortunately they couldn't make everything perfect in time," Khan said. "But why is the world so concerned about toilets, and not the unique objects and technology that will be remembered for years? This is the main tone of the Russian newspapers."
"We should not politicize the Olympic Games," he said. "The Olympic Games are a very unique event, and we should enjoy them, rather than find the problems. Yes, we should talk about that, but it shouldn't be topic - number one."
Khan stressed that viewers of the Olympic Games should focus on the true purpose of the Olympic Games — the sports — and not be distracted by issues that Western media may bring up

Garmin co-founder donates $1M to KU
DALTON KINGERY
news@kansan.com
Dr. Min Kao, one of the founders of Garmin International Inc., has made a $1 million dollar donation to the School of Engineering. The funds will be split in half, with half of the gift being used to create scholarships for engineering students, and half being used to upgrade and renovate the capstone design laboratories.
"I am delighted to support the University of Kansas in its mission to educate its students and to encourage engineering and technology innovation," said Dr. Kao in the official KU press release. "Ensuring
a highly skilled engineering workforce is vital to the future of Garmin, the state of Kansas and our nation as a whole."
Dr. Kao, who has a history of supporting the school, has gifted more than $500,000 to the school in the past, not including the recent $1 million donation.
"The School of Engineering has had a relationship with Garmin for a long time," said Dr. Glenn Prescott, chairman of the department of electrical engineering and computer science. "Students in the capstone design courses are building things, and parts are expensive, so this donation means students can continue to build some really
hopefully improve the quality and scope of the entire Capstone Design experience." Zach Garber, a senior from Overland Park, is currently enrolled in one of the Capstone Design programs and expressed appreciation for Dr. Kao's gift.
The capstone design courses involve teams of engineering students working together on a variety of engineering and design projects over the course of two semesters, with the second semester devoted to a special project of the group's choosing. From electric motors to acoustic synthesizer equipment, KU students have produced a wide variety of projects.
cool things. It's really going to step up the 'wow' factor."
"Short-term, we're going to be able to renovate the facilities and have more productive workspace," said Dr. Chris Allen, one of the faculty members currently teaching the courses. "It's going to help more students achieve their goals and
"Dr. Kao's donation means a lot to students in our program because we'll be able to afford the latest and greatest equipment," Garber said. "Garmin, as a company, has been incredibly supportive of the School of Engineering, and that means a lot to us as students that Garmin thinks we're a worthwhile investment."
Story Summary
Edited by Austin Fisher
- Min Kao of Garmin International Inc. donated $1 million to the school for scholarships and the renovation of Capstone Design Laboratories.
- Kao has donated more than $1.5 million to the program.
- The school will spend half of the donation on creating engineering scholarships. It will spend the other half on upgrades and renovations.
More subpoenas issued in NJ bridge probe

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TREENTON, N.J. — At least 12 new subpoenas were authorized Monday by a New Jersey legislative committee investigating a plot by aides to Gov. Chris Christie to create traffic gridlock on the George Washington Bridge, apparently for political retribution.
Investigations into whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had a role in causing traffic jams as political retribution could make advancing his agenda a challenge.
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
The panel also agreed to take additional steps to enforce subpoenas to two key figures in the bridge scandal that is engulfing the administration of the Republican governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate.
former Christie campaign manager Bill Stepien and fired deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly have asserted their right against self-incrimination and refused to comply with
the subpoenas. The panel on Monday voted to reject those objections and continue to seek most of the documents. Committee chairman John Wisniewski would not name the new subpoena recipients until they are served, possibly by Tuesday. The committee's actions follow last week's deadline for 20 people and organizations close to Christie to return subpoenaed documents. All but a few have sought more time. Lawyers for Stepien and Kelly asked that the subpoenas be withdrawn. "Ultimately, (that is) what
— who knew what when, and who authorized this, and why," Wisniewski said Monday. None of the subpoenaed documents has
been released publicly. The U.S. Attorney's office is conducting a parallel criminal investigation.
The traffic jams happened on four mornings in September, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the George Washington Bridge, blocked two of the three approach lanes from the town of Fort Lee, apparently to punish the town's Democratic mayor. The resulting backups delayed emergency vehicles, school buses and commuters, sometimes for hours.

I wonder if a sky picture of campus would look like an ant farm, with all the snow trails.
I may or may not have, but definitely did, cause a small fire in the underground microwave.
The only time I make the UDK is when I get arrested.
no, man with long board. There will be no longboarding on campus today, there's snow, ice, and disgruntled students.
Forget the your/you're dilemma.
I'm starting TO see TOO many
issues with to/too/two.
Okay FFA, a half page on a border collie and only a page of black and white opinion section. The snow days must have been ruff.
Editor's note: That was a paw-ful pun...
Iove how an article on marrying young came out the day after Bill Self's daughter got engaged! Winning!
if KU doesn't do their sidewalks the city of Lawrence can't give me a ticket for not doing mine.
Either I'm going crazy or my dog just said "Rock Chalk" when I walked in the door.
Props to the girls still wearing their high-heeled hooker boots while there's snow and ice. Not only are you brave, but you look good doin it!
There is no way to say "have a nice life" without sounding like a sarcastic prick. This really bothers
Great, now that flappy bird is gone what am I supposed to do during class?
Ladies, if you twist your hair in class and I see it... I'm cutting it!!!
So... A half-hour exam equals a half hour of studying... Right?
To the guy doing Isometrics in his underwear in front of the mirrors at the rec: stop being an attention whore and do that at your home.
It's so cold I'm gonna freeze my face off!
"This whole class is watermelon licking." Well alright.
Mental health needs more attention, funds
HEALTH
As history has shown, tragedy often brings about change. But with the string of recent shootings in the United States, one root cause is too often ignored: America's failing approach to mental illness. Mental health facilities have had their funding subjected to relentless budget cuts, forcing them to cut back services or close. Compounding the problem further, an unenlightened cultural stigma placed on mental illness compels those suffering from mental illness to "tough it out" rather than seek the help they need. America's approach to mental health is broken and in dire need of redress.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, six percent of all Americans are classified as having a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia and extreme bipolar disorder. Despite the staggering need for mental health services, research conducted by the Treatment Advocacy Center in 2013 found that crisis intervention teams and mental health courts, which allow qualifying criminal defendants to receive community-based mental health treatment rather than simply being thrown into jail, are available to fewer than half of all Americans and even fewer Kansans.

The lack of these essential services has led to those with serious mental illnesses being thrown into prison rather than receiving the treatment they need. According to the Treatment Advocacy Center and the National Sheriffs' Association, this lack of services has led to "three times more seriously mentally ill persons in jails and prisons than in hospitals." While Kansas has recently made an attempt to ameliorate the problem by reopening a closed facility, much work remains to be done.
This lack of services leads to the issue of too few inpatient
facilities where treatment can be provided. Further research from the Treatment Advocacy Center revealed that there are now only 14 beds available in psychiatric hospitals for every 100,000 Americans. The current statistic represents a 92 percent drop in available beds since 1960 and a 14 percent drop since 2005. Kansas also contributes to this shortage, and is listed by the organization as having a "serious bed shortage." The center's recommendation for minimally adequate care is 50 beds per 100,000 people. This is especially pressing for the Lawrence community, which has no inpatient mental health facilities.
Finally, the United States must tackle the intense social stigma placed on mental illness if it hopes to better the situation. If people feel as though revealing their suffering will transform them into an outcast and alienate them from others, they will choose to go on suffering in silence rather than seek help. This suffering then feeds destructive behaviors of isolation or violence.
America continues to ignore the pressing issue of mental health at its own detriment. Without proper treatment available, millions more will continue to live life defeated and alienated by a system that won't help them and a society that doesn't understand them. We as a community and as a nation must work to avoid such tragedies.

Religious can accept evolution creationism harmful to biology
SCIENCE
I remember learning about evolution in biology class. My high school science teacher gave a short preface, telling us that he was only teaching a theory and by no means trying to challenge anyone's religious beliefs. Other than that, science never presented itself as a problem to me. Most of the time, we Muslims do just fine balancing science and faith.
By Garrett Fugate opinion@kansan.com
Islam has a rather interesting relationship with science. Science flourished at the peak of Islamic civilization, in particular, the Arabic-speaking regions of the Middle East and North Africa. For example, the mythological constellations are Greek but the stars are Arabic.
Religiously speaking, words related to the root word for "knowledge" are some of the most common in the Quran. Science was, and still is, important for determining the timing and geographical direction for rituals. Just learning about the world means reflecting upon God's creation.
Islam is not the only religion that takes little issue with science. According to MIT's Survey on Science, Religion and Origins, only 11 percent of Americans belong to religions that reject evolution and the Big Bang. The Scopes Monkey trial has ended for
most organized religions in America, including for the Catholic Church. In the words of Pope John Paul II, "The Bible tells you how to get to Heaven, not how the heavens go."
According to a Gallup poll in 2012, 46 percent of Americans still believe that the creation stories in our Bible and Quran document what historically happened.
People aren't doing their jobs right: teachers, scientists, religious leaders and, perhaps, politicians, too, such as the Religious Right.
Thanks to an elective course, I read Donald Prothero's "Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters." The reading came at an opportune time when I was still trying to make sense of this apparent war I was supposed to have as a believer in God and as a lover of science. Prothero directly addressed the evolution versus faith dilemma: One of his main ideas is that creationists don't really understand evolution and mistakenly equate it to atheism when it has nothing to do with statements of belief or unbelief.
To those who hold fast to creationism, I would first ask them to look back at what their religion actually says. They might be surprised. Secondly, evolution is no more a choice of belief than gravity; it's absolutely necessary to the progress of science and our survival on this planet. Lastly, creationism not only harms science, it also harms religion: If I were studying paleontology and my place of worship claimed it knew more about it than my professors, what do you think this would do to my faith?
On one hand, creationism demands an impossible conflict between science and religion. On the other, it promotes an extremely simplistic theology. Believing that the universe was created in the same way we would make a television is an affront to God.
It also does a disservice to the kind of spirituality many of us need in our technology-centered 21st century. Just as science keeps up with our scientific curiosity, religion must also stay relevant as much as it remains an important aspect in our species' spiritual lives.

Local stores more than just thrift shops
HALLIE HOLTON
entertain@kansan.com
Stores such as Arizona Trading Company and St. John's Rummage House sound like über-hipster, thrift shop gold mines for some students. For many, they're just somewhere to find a bargain while exploring Lawrence. For others, they're the only way they can get clothing.
St. John's Rummage House, at 1229 Vermont St., and the Social Service League, at 905 Rhode Island St., always take donations. The Social Service League has only really been a thrift store since the early '80s, but it is the longest running charity organization in Lawrence.
"We have people who have been coming in here for decades," said Kendra Davis, an employee at the Social Service League. "We have lots of treasure hunters."
Visiting the Social Service
League or other thrift stores could mean finding the perfect sweater, but they also mean a lot more to the community of Lawrence. For the people who use these stores as essential resources — the poor, the underprivileged and the homeless — it can mean the difference between staying warm for the winter or not.
"We have a lot of people who fall through the cracks here in Lawrence." Davis said.
The Social Service League is a resource that these people can use to come and get what they really need.
The store provides for a wide range of people in the Lawrence community. It gets all of its clothes through donations and other clothing drives, such as the prom dress drive happening now until its giveaway on Feb. 15.
The Social Service League storefront is a small red door
leading to a basement not commonly filled with college students, with a very different feel from Arizona Trading Company, a popular local thrift store.
The Social Service League's attitude is that "people need stuff and there's a river of it flowing," said Jean Ann Pike, the store manager. Social Service League and St. John's Rummage House are open to working with University students who want to volunteer to keep these places functioning as resources for Lawrence residents.
Goodwill, at 2200 West 31st St., and Salvation Army, at 1601 West 23rd St., also take donations.
Treasure hunters searching for that perfect deal can help other treasure hunters looking for their basic needs.

Planning meals saves time, money for students
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
entertain@kansan.com
For students who live offcampus and are in class for hours at a time, it is tempting to spend hard earned savings at The Underground or other food locations. However, overpriced and minimally nutritious food can make eating regularly on campus hazardous for both the waistline and wallet.
BlueHealthAdvantage com averaged a $7 meal price and multiplied it by 20, the approximate number of working days in a month, calculating that eating out once per day costs $140 per month and nearly $1,700 per year. BlueHealth estimated that's enough money to buy two round trip plane tickets to Europe or lease a brand new economy car.
Weekly meal planning and preparation may intimidate some, but it can be made simple and will save you a large amount of cash. There are many affordable, healthy and easy ways to prepare meals perfect for those on-the-go.
When planning meals,
always go straight to protein. It
will keep a growling stomach
from interrupting lectures and provide energy. Grilled chicken or low fat turkey burgers are never a wrong choice. Pair this with brown rice and fresh or steamed veggies for a portable low calorie meal. All of these items will stay fresh for several days, allowing refrigerator storage and ability to cook in multiples.
"It's so much easier and less stressful to come home and pop a meal in the microwave."
JENNY PARKER sophomore from Wichita
"I pretty much just go to the grocery store once a week and buy a lot of fruits and veggies and meat," said Paige Miller, a sophomore from Leawood. "I usually just make myself buy healthy stuff when I'm at the store, so I know I'll be forced to eat it."
Once a routine is established, staple items are chosen and locations for cheaper prices or bulk produce are discovered, a bank account will notice the change. By only purchasing
necessary groceries for one week, the chance of food going to waste lessens, and purchase value increases. Keep an eye out for coupons and attempt to budget the weekly meals' cost
Jenny Parker, a sophomore from Wichita, has made healthy, budget-friendly eating a part of her everyday life. Spending an average of $40 a week, Parker maintains a healthy lifestyle on a student's budget.
"All in all, the whole prep and cooking time probably takes me two hours, but then I have all my meals for the week," said Parker. "It's so much easier and less stressful to come home and pop a meal in the microwave, than standing at my fridge and choosing something that's faster rather than healthy."
Parker's favorite dinner is half of a chicken breast baked with Turmeric and veggies. She cuts up zucchini, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and squash, adds lemon juice and pepper, then bakes it all. Afterwards, Parker puts the veggies and chicken in a Tupperware container and refrigerate them.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
PASADENA, Calif. _ Ever since she was a little girl, actress Laura Vandervoornt has chased perfection. While she wishes she could escape it, she understands that it's shaped her life.
It led her to triumph in martial arts, earning a second-degree black belt, and it propelled her into the acting field.
It turned out that both skills earned her to starring role in the Syfy's edgy version of the werewolf legend, "Bitten," airing Monday nights.
"I'm the hardest on myself," she nods, seated in a wing chair in the foyer of a hotel
here. "No one's as hard on me as I am. And I get nervous or stressed out or anxiety before a scene or before stunts. This time I just told myself to suck it up and go to work. Once you get through it and you realize not only did you get through it, but the producers and the writers and directors are all thrilled, that's a great feeling."
feeling.
Vandervoort thinks she knows why she can't stop stressing. She suffered from meningitis when she was just a month old and almost didn't make it.
"I fought so hard as a baby I thought there must be a reason for that and I should really try to make something
of the life that I've been given
that I wasn't supposed to
have," she says.
She studied karate from ages 6 to 20. She also aced her grades and coaxed her parents into letting her try acting after she saw "My Girl" on TV. "It was the first movie that affected me and I was crying as a kid. And I never experienced that watching a program on TV. I think that's the moment I asked my parents if I could try acting because the young girl in the movie was making me feel that way, and I thought, 'I want to do that. I want to make people feel that.' So they let me."

Former teammate proud Michael Sam 'came out'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam's unanimous All-American season traces back to August, but it may have nothing to do with any drills he ran through during camp.
Instead, it might stem from Sam's decision to discuss his sexuality with his Tigers teammates. On Sunday, Sam publicly announced he is gay, sharing his story with ESPN and The New York Times.
"I think that helped him a lot, because he was under pressure," said former Missouri running back Henry Josey, who shared a locker room with Sam for four seasons. "That comes with anybody that's hiding something, so I'm proud that he had the courage to come out and now to tell the world that he's gay and he's comfortable with it."
Several teammates knew about Sam's sexual orientation before he confided in a small group of MU players during a team-building exercise last summer, according to Josey.
In our program, we're a big family team and during two-a-days, when it's just us there we like to go around and have little small groups, where we tell each other about ourselves our backgrounds, family girlfriends," Josey said. "That's when he first came out.
"It was something he felt he had to do. A couple of the guys knew already. Just for him to come to the whole team, it was a great moment for him so he could be able to relax and have that great season like he did this year."
Sam led the Southeastern Conference with 19 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks, which tied the Missouri single-season record. His performance helped the Tigers bounce back from a tough first year in the SEC to match the school record for wins during a 12-2 season that included an SEC East title and a win in the Cotton Bowl.
"If Michael doesn't have the support of his teammates like he did this past year, I don't think there's any way he has the type of season he put together," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said in a statement from the university, adding that it was Sam's decision to focus on football and not make a public announcement during the season.
Josey said the Tigers accepted Sam as they always had after he came out to the team.
"It's a respect thing," Josey said. "We have to respect who he is as a person, and that's

something that was very big.
He knows who he is, and he's happy with who he is. That's the main thing you have to take from it. You can't judge anybody.
"God makes everybody differently, but he's always been the same person and he still acted the same. It wasn't like he was somebody different after he told us. He was just the same person, the same person having fun with us all the time and being normal around us."

Josey expects Sam's future NFL teammates also will be accepting.

he wants to win games and that's the most important thing," Josey said. "That's also the most important thing to the other players. I just don't think it will bother him at all. If you're winning games and he's helping you win games, what else can you want from the dude."
Of course, it wasn't just Sam's teammates who celebrated Sam's announcement.
Missouri also expressed its pride in Sam's courage.
"We're really happy for Michael that he's made the decision to announce this, and we're proud of him and how he represents Mizzou," Pinkel said.
Missouri athletic director Mike Alden praised all that Sam "has accomplished at Mizzou academically, socially and competitively" in the university's statement.
"This is a young man who earned his degree from MU, was a unanimous All-American on the football field and now he's being a leader in his personal life," Alden said. "He continues to display great character, courage and compassion. We are proud of him on every level."
In downtown Columbia people clapped while seeing the news on television. Gov Jay Nixon and MU posted supportive messages on Twitter.
Missouri star freshman 197-pound wrestler Jden Cox expressed appreciation for Sam.
"I got no problem with it, he is who he is meant to be," Cox said. "I have nothing but respect for a man being true to himself.
"And no matter what people say about this, the judgment people should pass is his actions and character towards others. He is a respected person because of how he carries himself."

Greene's 10 points don't justify how much each one really meant. At the end of regulation it was Greene with the put-back slam to cut Kansas' deficit to five, and his steal and layup immediately after to pull KU within three. Not to mention his four of four shooting at the line.

Embiid pulls disappearing act in second Big 12 loss
MISERY IN
BLAIR SHEADF
sports@kansan.com
On a night when both teams were battling and equal in the paint, the winner was the team that converted more shots in the lane when it mattered most.
The Jayhawks were without sophomore forward, Jamari Traylor, due to an off-the-court problem, but the biggest disappearing act was freshman standout center, Joel Embiid, on Monday during the 85-82 overtime loss at Kansas State.
22 game minutes and all five minutes in overtime - instead of Embiid.
"Joel was beat up," coach Bill Self said.
The overtime loss didn't have much contribution from Embiid, who only played 18 of the 40 game minutes and didn't play a single minute in overtime.
In a game where the paint play was the most effective, Kansas' best frontcourt scorer, Embiid, only had two baskets in the paint.
In overtime, Self went with the hot hand in senior center Tarik Black, who played
Black was 4-for-7 from the field and grabbed seven rebounds, which was better than Embiid's disappointing numbers. Embiid had six points
1-for-10 from beyond the arc and had to rely on their inside game, without Embid. Both teams had 38 paint points, with only four points from Embid.
Embiid, who is the number one NBA prospect according
"We didn't play well in the second half."
BILL SELF Kansas coach
The Jayhawks struggled in the first half, shooting only 34 percent from the field, but came out and shot 48 percent in the second half. Kansas was 14-1 when shooting over 50 percent, and tonight the Jayhawks were held to 41 percent. A lot of the trouble shooting had to do with the inconsistence on the offensive end.
and six rebounds.
"We didn't play well in the second half," Self said.
to Chad Ford's prospect list, didn't look like a NBA player on Monday. He played few minutes, even though he had no foul trouble. Embiid didn't record a foul until halfway through the second half.
Midway through the second half, Kansas was shooting
"The they couldn't play him much because our guys did a good job stopping him," said Kansas State coach Bruce Weber.
Usually, Embiid takes the beating of low post players on the defensive end, but Monday night he struggled blocking
shots and rebounding the ball. There were a number of times throughout the game where Embiid would hit the floor, get up slowly and jog back gingerly.
For a freshman, Embid has played a lot of minutes and looks as if he hit an energy wall; this showed on defensive. Embid only recorded one block and allowed a lot of points in the paint.
For Kansas to stay competitive in the Big 12 Conference, they will need all the front-court players contributing.
Without Embiid playing well, the Jayhawks will have to rely on others to make up the scoring.
Embiid couldn't help in the big moment, and couldn't help the Jayhawks capture their 29th win against the Wildcats in 31 tries.
Kansas now drops to 9-2 in the conference, just when people thought that Kansas vs. Kansas State wasn't a rivalry.
"It's always a rivalry to me," Self said.

Conference play gets messy, KU maintains lead
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
Kansas increases lead in Big 12 race
With the help of a Kansas State (16-7, 6-4 Big 12) victory over second-place Texas (18-5, 7-3 Big 12) on Saturday, Kansas increased its conference lead to two games.
If Kansas (18-5, 9-1 Big 12) wins its remaining home games, the team can afford to lose three of its last four road games and still clinch at least a tie for first place, earning its 10th consecutive regular season Big 12 title. Despite being in a comfortable
position, Kansas coach Bill Self knows things can change quickly. He thinks the league is still wide open.
Smart pushes fan
Texas Tech defeated No.19 Oklahoma State on Saturday, but it wasn't the Red Raiders' upset that grabbed headlines. With seconds remaining in the game, Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart fouled a Texas Tech player as his momentum carried him to the front of the baseline crowd in Lubbock, Texas. Visibly frustrated, Smart proceeded to shove a fan, who said something directed at the point guard.
The Big 12 announced Sunday that Smart has been issued a three-game suspension, which rules him out for road games at Texas and Baylor and a home game against Oklahoma. The Cowboys have already lost to Baylor and Oklahoma this season, and Texas has proven to be a tough team at home. Smart's first game back will, ironically, be against Texas Tech on Feb. 22 at home.
Both Smart and the fan have apologized since the incident.
Early Big 12 favorites stumbling
Top-10 teams heading into
conference play, Oklahoma State (16-7, 4-6) and Baylor (14-9, 2-8) have tumbled to seventh and ninth places, respectively, in the Big 12.
Ranked as high as No. 5 this season, the Cowboys have lost four consecutive games and five of their last six. That includes two home losses in a span of two days capped off by a triple-overtime loss to Iowa State. The Cowboys, who were picked in the preseason as co-favorites with Kansas to win the Big 12, are no longer ranked in the Top 25 of the Associated Press poll. Things aren't likely to get better quickly as Smart serves his three-game suspension.
Coming into conference play ranked No. 7 with just one loss, the Bears have arguably been the biggest disappointment in the conference this season. Predicted to finish third in the conference in the preseason, Baylor has even struggled to win on its home court, where it has lost four straight games. With only two games left against teams currently ranked in the Top 25, the Bears need to finish strong as their NCAA tournament hopes are in serious jeopardy.

He scored a conference-record 48 points, made 20 of his 24 field goal attempts and hauled down a career-high 18 rebounds. He scored 20 straight points in the second half for Iowa State, who has ascended to No. 11 in the Associated Press poll. Ejim broke the previous record of 44 points set by Kansas State guard Denis Clemente in January 2009 and Kansas State forward Michael Beasley in February 2008.

Rivalry in women's hockey becomes border brawl
OLYMPICS
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SOCHI, Russia — As North American neighbors, Canada and the United States generally enjoy a good relationship, but in women's ice hockey, that friendship ends at the Zamboni door.
The U.S.-Canada rivalry might be the strongest in Olympic sports, men's or women's.
The two adversaries are by far the best in the world, so dominant in their sport that at the last Olympics, many observers worried about the future of women's hockey if other nations didn't step up their game. Countries such as Finland, Switzerland, Russia and Germany have improved, but for now, those teams appear to be little more than
warm-ups.
On Wednesday, the powers face off in preliminary play of the Olympic hockey tournament. They bring a history of competition, respect and, recently, a pair of fist-slinging brawls.
"Once you get on the ice, there's no friends on that team. You're playing Canada," said Anne Schleper, a defenseman for Team USA.
Lou Vairo, coach of the 1984 U.S. men's Olympic hockey team, called the clash one of the fiercest in hockey.
Canadian forward Jayna Hefford, who has four Olympic medals, offered a bit of a backhanded compliment to her opponents: "You want to play the best, and next to us, the Americans are it."
"It's a very fierce rivalry,"
he said. "Jeez, as far as I can remember, all of the deciding big games have basically been decided in overtime or shoot-outs. That's how close it is. And I think it's that close again this time."
In many cases, the North American players are just bigger. At its opening game Saturday, Canada towered over its Swiss opponents. The Swiss has three players at least 5-foot-8. Canada has 12.
The Swiss players were scrappy, darting among their opponents and slinging elbows, but Canada won 5-0.

Team USA, meanwhile routed Switzerland 9-0 on Monday,and the Swiss are among the most improved in recent years.

THE MORNING BREW
Smart hurts already-struggling Cowboys with his suspension
When Marcus Smart decided to return to school, he probably didn't envision would transcribe
Smart got suspended for three games after pushing a Texas Tech fan who was jawing with him during Oklahoma State's 61-65 loss in Lubbock.
Jeff Orr, a Texas Tech super fan who was the recipient of Smart's actions, has been part of the media storm the last few days. On Sunday it came out that he called Smart a "piece of crap."
+
Smart did the wrong thing. That much is clear. He's a 19-year-old kid who took out his frustration in an era where everything is put on the Internet for people to dissect.
By Connor Oberkrom
sports@kansan.c
But Travis Ford and Jeff Orr did the worst thing.
Ford, Oklahoma State coach, continued to fuel speculation by not addressing the main issue, which was Orr. He let Texas Tech write the narrative, which they did with the video. I "know Marcus Smart," Ford said. "I've been around him pretty much
on a daily basis for two years, and undoubtedly, no question, this was not one of his finer moments."
Ford's job is to know his players; he shouldn't have to say that. That's usually how things work between coach and player. Coaches mature players and build them into physically and mentally strong men.
Ford should've explained how Smart will become a different person and how he will guide him down a path of smart decisions.
Orr is to blame, too, and the role of the fan certainly has to come up for debate on where to draw the line.
Orr voluntarily said he wouldn't attend the rest of Texas Tech games, which is laughable. Texas Tech had the platform to set a standard and it failed.
No matter what Orr said, the athletes aren't there solely for entertainment purposes, they have a spine and so should fans when it comes to this matter.
Oklahoma State's season has unraveled into a nightmare.
THE BREW
The Cowboys lost their best
The Cowboys lost their best interior defender and power forward, Michael Cobbins, to injury. They lost backup point guard Stevie Clark, who Smart tried to take under his wing, but Clark was later kicked off the team.
Smart had another minor incident prior to this. On Jan. 25 versus West Virginia he went 1-for-7,which led him to take his frustration out on a chair later in the game.
Smart has been fighting life's cruelty from the start, including the loss of a brother to cancer when he was in high school. Smart ended up saying in a press conference that this wasn't how he raised. From high school coaches to Eric Prisbell's column in USA
reinforce that
Smart is capable of reverting back to the calmer, hard-working player he was. He just needs a clear path for change and a sense of direction. Smart apologized profusely in his press conference and showed the humility that triggered all this praise.

COMMENTARY
Loss will hurt more in March
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
This was the game Kansas needed to win.
Not because the
jayhaws matched up against their in-state rivals. Not because the Big 12 title race depended on it. Not because of the AP rankings.
As far as those things go, the Jayhawks will be all right.
No, this was the game Kansas needed to point back to a few weeks from now when it's playing somewhere in Missouri, or Indiana or, if it's lucky, Texas.
This was the type of game No. 7 Kansas needed to learn how to win so it doesn't stumble in March. Instead, the Jayhawks couldn't take control in overtime on Monday, falling to Kansas State 85-82.
Bill Self is famous for these types of games: famous for pulling them out and famous for letting the opponents get the best of his teams. There is no middle ground.
"A testimony to a team's toughness is to figure out a way to win when things aren't going well," Self said. "When you don't have that momentum and that energy, it takes toughness."
Don't get confused, that's not a remark from Self on Monday. That one is from 2012. One of the good games, when Kansas came back from a 10-point deficit late in the second half against Purdue during the third round of the NCAA tournament.
On Monday night, Self said the Jayhawks weren't tough. They weren't quick. They didn't guard.
And yet, overtime: a chance to take down a team playing its best when Kansas was anything but.
"We actually played our best ball when we got down nine," Self said.
Those last two minutes, when the Jayhawks didn't have a chance was when they seemed to believe the most. Brannen Greene was fighting for loose balls, and Andrew Wiggins was putting back his own rebounds. When Bramlage Coliseum went silent, Lawrence got rowdy.
That was with Kansas unable to hit from 3-point range (3 for 17) Perry Ellis and Andrew Wiggins stumbling into foul trouble and an ailing Joel Embid - who Self said has been battling back issues lately - unable to stay on the floor.
The Wildcats were stronger; they weren't afraid of the No. 7 team in the country. They wanted them.
Many things would need to go terribly right for any team other than the Jayhawks to win the conference. That shouldn't change anything.
This was a Kansas team that had nothing go right until the final moments of regulation. This could be a celebration of the fact that the Jayhawks were able to make it a game.
Instead, Self didn't try to cover anything up afterwards; this is the type of performance that costs you in March.
This was the game Kansas needed to win.

OUTPLAYED IN OVERTIME
Kansas matched Kansas State for two halves, but failed to deliver in OT
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com
The magic ran out. No. 7 Kansas (18-6, 9-2 Big 12) surged back from deficits all night long but couldn't hold off Kansas State (17-7, 7-4) in overtime as the Jayhawks fell 85-82 in Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kan. Kansas overcame a nine-point deficit with under two minutes remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime but couldn't sustain the momentum into the extra five-minute period.
"We just played catch up the whole time," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We didn't play well in overtime."
Down by nine with 1:53 to go in the game, Kansas took advantage of two Kansas State turnovers to inch back. Back-to-back buckets by Brannen Greene in a 10-second span slashed the Wildcat lead to three with more than a minute left. Missed free throws hurt the Wildcats as Kansas State forward Wesley Iwundu missed the front-end of a one-and-one with the Wildcats up by two points.
After airballing a potential game-tying 3-pointer with less than a minute to go in regulation, Andrew Wiggins rebounded his own miss and laid it back in with seven seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. It was part of an inconsistent night for Wiggins, who scored 16 points but went 4-for-12
from the field and missed seven of his 15 free throws.
"I thought he made a couple of unbelievable athletic plays down the stretch," said Self, who hinted Wiggins should have made plays like that in the first 38 minutes of the game.
Overtime was a back-and-forth affair with the Wildcats holding a slim lead throughout the five-minute period. A short floater from Iwundu with a minute remaining gave the Wildcats a five-point lead — one the Wildcats wouldn't give up.
"We didn't get any defensive stops toward the end," said Naadir Tharpe, who had a double-double with 13 points and 10 assists. "They were relentless and played a real good game."
Kansas' freshmen got a glimpse of the Sunflower Showdown rivalry from the comfortable confines of Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 11, where the Jayhawks thumped the Wildcats 86-60 behind 22 points from Wiggins, 20 from Wayne Selden and 11 from Joel Embild.
Monday night was a different story as Wiggins, Selden and Embiid rarely looked comfortable in front of an energetic Kansas State crowd.
Selden scored a season-low two points and was benched for freshman Greene for the later stages of the game. Emiiid scored six points on five field goal attempts as Self elected to play the more-experienced Tarik Black late in
regulation and for the duration of overtime. Self would go on to say that Embid was "heat up" and needed rest.
Kansas State has had one the best defenses in the Big 12 all season. Kansas didn't see much of it in the teams' first matchup in Lawrence when the Jayhawks shot 56 percent from the field and scored 86 points, the second highest total the Wildcats have allowed all season.
The Jayhawks saw more of it this time around. Kansas shot 42 percent from the field including 18 percent from 3-point range. No starter shot better than 50 percent from the field.
Perry Ellis led Kansas with 19 points, 11 rebounds and two steals. He kept the Jayhawks in the game with free throws down the stretch and would finish 9-for-12 from the line. He drew praise from Kansas State coach Bruce Weber after the game.
"If there's an MVP in this league, it's Perry Ellis," Weber said. "He is a winner for them and really helps them."
Kansas remains in firstplace in the Big 12 with a one-game lead over the Texas Longhorns. The Jayhawks will return to Allen Fieldhouse to take on a Texas Christian University team that is winless in the Big 12. "We've got to just move on now." Ellis said.

Proposed bill would eliminate textbook tax
AMELIA ARVESEN

Legislation that would eliminate sales tax on textbooks for Kansas university students received support from the Kansas Tax Committee Tuesday during Higher Education Day.
Student Senate and other Kansas university leaders spent the day meeting with legislators in the Topeka Statehouse to advocate for the tax elimination and present the importance of higher education funding. Of the 100 legislators students met with, many supported the statewide student initiative that originated on campus last semester during the Student Senate campaign season.
The proposal was generated by Student Body Vice President Emma Halling in a Taxation Committee meeting. Representative Mario Goico signed as a sponsor, and House Majority Whip representative Ron Ryckan Jr.
agreed that education is vital to the economy.
we shared some of the same concerns about higher education costs and we're looking for some ways to solve that," Ryckman said in a conversation with a student reporter. "It's how we work together to provide quality education at a quality price, not just for our students but for the health of our state."
Student senators formed groups with peers from Emporia State, Fort Hays State Kansas State, Pittsburg State, Wichita State and Washburn University to represent the diverse college population affected by the $37 million funding cut during the 2013 legislative session.
The proposed elimination of the nearly nine percent sales tax will cost the state an estimated $10.5 million, as quoted by The Kansas Department of Revenue in a Student Advisory Committee report. The figure is derived from an annual textbook cost average
of $1,100 nearly 40 percent higher than the national average.
According to the National Association of College Stores, textbook prices have increased 82 percent over the past decade. Other data indicated that students spent an average of $662 each year on new and used textbooks in 2012, seven more dollars than in 2011.
Not only would the elimination of textbook sales tax save students up to $40 in bookstores, a calculated savings based on the $662 figure, it would also entice them to make other purchases so those dollars could cycle back into the economy.
Garrett Farlow, a student senator and freshman from Tecumseh, attended the hearing as one example of many other first generation students on financial aid. He said he purchased his textbooks from Amazon and Half.com to save money and even then,

Campus promotes safer sex
LOGAN SCHLOSSBERG news@kansan.com
The University is celebrating National Condom Day today, but more than half of the college student population in America isn't using condoms, according to the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada. But, according to Health Educator Jenny McKee, the University has increased their usage in condoms by about five percent since 2009.
In 2012, Watkins Memorial Health Center ran 1,062 chlamydia tests, 1,065 gonorrhea tests, 491 tests for syphilis and many more for genital herpes, which was the biggest increase Watkins has seen, according to Health Gynecologist Dr. Carolyn DeSalvo.
"I feel like we don't do a good job of educating people about the risk," DeSalvo said. "It is safest to use condoms or dental dams to avoid these
problems."
According to Planned Parenthood, a condom prevents pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. They are made of latex or plastic and cost about $1 each. A dental

"Only a barrier method can protect against STI," McKee said.
At Watkins pharmacy, students can purchase three condoms for only 50 cents, which is inexpensive compared to prices in local stores. Many RAs in student dorm halls get Watkins' sex kits and condoms to hand out to their students.
"We know that 50 percent of sexually active individuals, ages, 18 to 24 on a college campus, will be infected with at least one STI before they graduate." McKee said. "There's quite a bit of stigma attached to having and contracting an STI. A lot of people don't talk about it."

Painkiller abuse leads to heroin addiction
CODY KUIPER
news@kansan.com
The sudden death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman earlier this month of a heroin overdose has brought the drug into the public discourse, bringing startling facts about addiction to the forefront along with it.
One current trend that has been brought to light is heroin use among young people, which has risen because of an increase in prescription painkiller addiction, according to research and experts. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, heroin use among 12 to 17 year olds has increased 80 percent since 2002. The most recent national data, from 2009, shows that 510 people ages 15 to 24 died of heroin overdose, which is more than double what it was in 1999.
Dr. Jan Campbell, a Residency Director in Addiction Psychiatry at the KU Medical Center, said young users usually start abusing pain medication like Oxycodone to obtain an opiate high, but the high cost of the product leads them to use the cheaper option, heroin, to get the same high.
---
"Most people start abusing pain pills because they're safer, used orally, and they're pharmaceutically pure products," Campbell said. "But it can cost $80 to get 80 milligrams worth, and heroin is much cheaper."
Campbell said the switch to heroin can be more dangerous because, unlike prescription medication, it is not regulated and the making of the product varies from dealer to dealer.
"There's no predictability with heroin, it can be anything," she said. "Percentage of quality varies, so if someone is used to using 40 percent heroin and they somehow get 60 and take the same amount, that's when [they] overdose and they can die."
The abuse of prescription
medication by young people, which many think is leading to increased heroin use, is on the rise, and studies have found the issue is worse now than ever.
A survey conducted by the University of Michigan Health System in 2013 found that one in ten people aged 14 to 20 have misused prescription painkillers, and they are the second most abused drugs by adolescents in the U.S., trailing only marijuana. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that this generation of young adults are abusing prescription drugs more than any in history. Young people born between 1980 and 1994 have a 40 percent higher usage rate of painkillers than any other youth or age group from previous generations.
Lawrence is not immune to the opiate problem. There are 1,023 individuals in the city who abuse or are dependent upon heroin and 258 individuals abuse or use opiates in
the form of prescription medication as well, according to USdrugrends.com
The Drug Enforcement Agency reported that in 2012 more than 660,000 Americans used heroin, which is more than double from the number five years prior. Even though high-profile heroin-related deaths like Hoffman's are becoming more common, with other celebrities like "Glee" star Cory Monteith also over-
"Addiction doesn't discriminate," Carter said. "You see it at all economic levels, in rural places, big cities, little towns. Prescription drugs are obviously easier to come by because they can be obtained legally."
Lisa Carter, Program Coordinator for DCCCA, an outpatient alcohol and drug treatment program in Lawrence, said prescription medication is easily obtained compared to other drugs, making addiction widespread and more accessible for people across all demographics.
"I don't know that simply hearing about a tragedy would change someone's motivation, because that comes from within," Carter said. "It's just like smoking, everyone knows it's harmful and you see the commercials on TV, but knowledge doesn't always lead to change."
dosing on the drug, Carter doesn't think it will deter users or make them seek treatment.

Atlanta area braces for ice
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SNOW ST
Snow and ice build up on the street signs for Snow and McDaniel Streets on Tuesday in Greer, SC. Snow and icy conditions are expected to continue in the state through Wednesday.
ATLANTA — The city dodged the first punch of a dangerous winter storm Tuesday, but forecasters warned of a potentially "catastrophic" second blow in the form of a thick layer of ice that threatened to bring hundreds of thousands of power outages and leave people in their cold, dark homes for days.
Deal said.
The streets and highways in metro Atlanta were largely deserted as people in the South's business hub heeded advice from officials to hunker down at home, especially after the epic snow jam two weeks ago that saw thousands of people stranded on icy, gridlocked roads for hours when two inches of snow fell.
"There is no doubt that this is one of Mother Nature's worst kinds of storms that can be inflicted on the South, and that is ice. It is our biggest enemy," Georgia Gov. Nathan
While only rain fell in Atlanta on Tuesday, cities 40 miles northwest saw two to three inches of snow. The rain was expected to turn into sleet and freezing rain overnight.
The state had more than 22,000 tons of salt,70,000 gallons of brine 45,000 tons of gravel and brought in 180 tons of additional salt and sand. The goal was to make sure at least two interstate lanes were available in each direction. Then material would be used on the most heavily used roads off the highways. Officials were also considering re-routing traffic in extreme circumstances.
"It's certainly going to be a challenge for us. Ice is definitely different than snow," said state Transportation Commissioner Keith Golden. "It is very difficult for us to plow ice."
Hundreds of Georgia National Guard troops were on
standby in case evacuations were needed at hospitals or nursing homes, and more than 70 shelters were set to open. President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Georgia, ordering federal agencies to help the state and local response during the storm. Deal said a priority for that request was generators.
On Monday, before a drop of freezing rain or snow fell, Deal declared a state of emergency for nearly a third of the state and state employees were
told they could stay home. He expanded the declaration Tuesday to more than half the state's counties.
Around the Deep South, slick roads were causing problems. In North Texas, at least four people died in traffic accidents on icy roads, including a Dallas firefighter who was knocked from an Interstate 20 ramp and fell 50 feet, according to a police report.
In northeastern Alabama,
two National Guard wreckers
were dispatched to help clear
jackknifed 18-wheelers on Interstate 65. Gov. Robert Bentley said one lesson learned from the storm two weeks ago was to get those wreckers organized earlier.
Parts of northeast Mississippi could see up to four inches of snow. South Carolina, which hasn't seen a major ice storm in nearly a decade, could get a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of ice and as much as eight inches of snow in some areas.
Delta canceled nearly 2,200 flights on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The representatives discussed tax policy and the effects sales tax and income tax may have on different groups of people depending on factors such as income, and also commented on attempting to work with the majority structure of legislature.
"It's a numbers game," the democratic representative of the tenth district John Wilson said during the panel discussion. "But these numbers can be changed during election."
Susie McClannahan, a junior
from Prairie Village, said she enjoyed the truthfulness that was present in the representatives' answers to discussion questions.
"I agreed with a lot of what they had to say, and I felt like they spoke very honestly, there wasn't very much walking around issues," McClannahan said. "They all clearly gave their stances, explained how they felt on things and were very responsive."
McClannahan said the issues she thinks other students should be aware of are topics such as gun legislation and tax policies and those may put adverse effects on students.
Wilson said he hopes events such as this panel discussion shed a light on the kind of people that work in the legislature

Be smart enough to appreciate dumb movies
It's obvious that being smart helps a lot in college. College is the stage in your life where you start to dive into literature, philosophy and psychology and all sorts of theories and you finally start to sort out what your intellectual pursuits are. But, I like to think that you should be smart enough to appreciate the dumb stuff as well. To appreciate things like Febreze Sleep Serenity (It's an air freshener designed specifically to be at your bedside. Seriously.) To appreciate anything with DJ Khaled's name on it. To appreciate a good dumb
action movie once in a while. Especially the dumb action movies.
Some people might say,
"Wait, how am I supposed to enjoy a dumb movie? All they consist of is a bunch of car chases, one-liners and explosions. I'm above that Michael Bay stuff." That's missing the point. I like a cerebral drama that makes me think about it for a while afterwards just as much as anyone else. Films like "Citizen Kane" (yes, I have seen it, and yes, it's as good as they say it is) and "Children of Men" are awesome to that end. But that can't be all I watch. I'm a student first,

and my brain is running in a million different directions all the time. Putting yourself through the wringer with stuff like "Drive" regularly can't be good for your state of mind, especially when you're juggling research papers, midterms, assignments group projects, opinion columns, photo assignments and the like.
I think that taking a moment every now and then to kick back, microwave some popcorn, shut your brain off and take in something dumb like "The Expendables 2" or "Live Free or Die Hard" is valuable in this always-on academic and social culture we find ourselves in. The second semester of my freshman year became a trying time for me, especially toward the end. In my darkest hour, I decided to watch "Commando" on Netflix. Thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger's hilarious one-liners and propensity for blowing up empty prop houses, I feel like my mental
state loosened up just enough to carry on with the semester and come out on top of what proved to be a pretty big test of my willpower.
All I'm saying is, it's a good idea to let your hair down once in a while and watch something that doesn't take a whole lot of thinking. Press "play," let your worries go and let the dumbness wash over you even if it's just for a couple of hours.

Self confidence is key to good body image
When I get naked, the shower gets turned on. Unfortunately, it's the only one getting turned on by my nakedness.
Initially, when I was writing this article, my plan was to start with that clever line and then move into why we all need to get to the gym and work our big butts off. I planned to go on about my belief that while pop culture "beauty" shouldn't matter, we should still strive to work toward that ideal. Then I started talking to people and decided that I might be a flip-flopping idiot.
By Nick Jackson
opinion@kansan.com
Cosmo says you're fat? Well I ain't down with that. What is beauty, anyway? Who is the media to tell us what beauty is? As I sit here alone, pondering that question myself, I'm struck with the realization that, over time, my definition of beauty has changed tremendously. I used to be vain enough to think that while beauty might be only skin deep, I didn't need to be much deeper than that. First appearances are everything, right?
Whatever I might have appeared to be on the outside did not reflect who I was on the inside. On the outside I might have fit a certain mold, but on the inside, I was scared. That fear was derived from the possibility that someone might call my bluff. I didn't want anyone to see who I was on the inside because that person was frail at best.
I've spent much of my life thinking I was a bottom tier human being because I couldn't live up to bodies like Adrian Peterson or Marky Mark, but Aaron Hannon, a trainer from
Underground Lab in Lawrence, had strong words related to my flawed beliefs.
"People get too focused on what's on the damn scale. What is that? Just a worthless number," Hannon said. "It's better to think 'healthy and strong' as opposed to 'How do I look to others?'"
It is only recently that I've decided to work toward improving myself to build some foundation for that skin deep shell. To me, the beauty of confidence, intelligence and the oft underappreciated ability to partake in meaningful social interaction is far more breathtaking.
I just hope that people will love themselves how they are. Even if you think you are the wrong shape, size, latitude, longitude, color, hue, whatever, you are beautiful and sexy. Love yourself and that will naturally lead to a desire to take care of your body. Don't get wrapped up in striving for unrealistic goals because you might reach them and find that you hate yourself. Find something more substantial. Hannon went on to reiterate the old cliché "The journey is the destination."

While this is certainly not the case for all child stars, the formula sounds all too familiar—most likely because we have seen it play out countless times with stars such as Brittney Spears, Amanda Bynes, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, to name a few.
In the past, reprimands and rehab have been the standard remedy for a meltdown. Cyrus, however, has managed to receive praise among the outrage for succeeding at staying relevant and daring by taking a risk—or several.
Bieber, on the other hand, has yet to experience this same acclaim. What sets his outbursts apart from others? Have we reached our limit on hearing about Hollywood hoodlums?
By Lyndsey Havens opinion@kansan.com
Not in my opinion. I don't think Bieber's series of stunts reach new levels of obscenity, and I don't think the ever-eager ears of society will stop listening, or more importantly, caring, anytime soon. I think the reason we continue to hear and see his name in the media is because we continue to listen and look. It really is quite simple.
Sure, Bieber has received
plenty of attention over the years. At first, interest stemmed from his prepubescent voice and great hair, while today attention is captivated with his peculiar smiling mug shot and string of questionable actions.
While I personally consider Bieber's blips as light humor, there are others that feel very strongly about his bizarre behavior. More than 200,000 others, in fact.
An article from Rolling Stone stated that on Jan. 23, a "We the People" petition to deport the Canadian native was created, and since then it has reached more than 250,000 signatures.
"We the People" is a petitioning system created with the intention of "giving all Americans a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them," according to its official website. Once a petition reaches over 100,000 signatures, the Obama administration is then required to respond.
Rolling Stone included the petition in the article.
"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture,' the petition reads. 'We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation's youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.'"
I cannot discern whether this is an afflicted attempt at a child star vying for relevancy, or yet another illustration of the implications of fame and fortune at a young age. Regardless, Bieber, like so many before him, has landed in a less than fortunate situation—riches aside.
Personally, I don't see deportation as a solution. I don't think these incessant incidents can necessarily be resolved at all without starting at the root of the problem.
Child stars are inevitable. The compelling combination of youthful talent creates a reliable recipe for success. But if a few wrong ingredients are tossed in along the way, it becomes all too easy to end up burnt.

CONFESSIONS
Social media plays role in rape culture
CORRINE DORRIAN
entertain@kansan.com
One of the newest Twitter accounts @collegefession has been a huge hit among college students all over the country. With over 760,000 followers and over 10,000 tweets, the account allows students from all over to anonymously submit their own confessions on topics such as drinking and sex.
"It's pretty funny," said Misha Kahn, a freshman from Overland Park. "It shows that people like to party, get drunk, and do things they either regret or don't regret."
1
The account sheds light on a very serious matter regarding rape and sexually transmitted infections (STI) on college campuses.
"One in four young women will be a survivor of a sexual assault," said Jenny McKee, a health educator at Watkins Health Center.
Usually, a sexual assault occurs by someone the person knows and will happen towards the end of a date, a hang out, or the end of the night, McKee said.
According to oneinfourusa. org, "Seventy-five percent of the men and 55 percent of the women involved in acquaintance rapes were drinking or taking drugs just before the attack."
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY BRENT BURFORD/KANSAN Twitter account @collegefession allows students to anonymously submit personal confessions regarding drinking and sex.
The most common date rape drug is simply alcohol and 88 percent of University students use alcohol, McKee said. She advised to always have a plan — make sure to have a buddy, make a plan of your evening with that buddy and limit drinks.
Mckee also made a very important point about consent between two people. Legally, consent to a sexual act is impossible under the influence. If two people have intentions to hook up with each other when they are drunk, for consent to happen both must be sober.
"Consent is this idea that two people are saying yes to doing something," McKee said. "That consent factor is huge."
When giving consent, always make sure to frame questions in a way that build a conversation regarding possible STIs.
"On college campuses, 50 percent of all sexually active students will have at least one
STI before they graduate," McKee said.
She said that the most common STIs are HPV, chlamydia and gonorrhea. Sometimes, females are often asymptomatic meaning that they may be infected and not even know. McKee said that the best way to know is to get tested. Luckily for all University students, Watkins offers STI testing and different billing options so your results are confidential.
"What we know is that the drinking culture has changed, more excessive drinking is going on. This generation is used to things happening with an immediate response but some things don't have an immediate fix," McKee said. "Some
choices can stay with you forever."
Twitter accounts like @collegefession that address these issues may be entertaining to some students but to others they are a problem.
"I think those types of accounts are pretty much making it seem like it's not a big deal and it's like they are laughing it off", said Kristi Rooks, a freshman from Overland Park. "They aren't promoting it (rape culture) but not doing anything about it at the same time."

Child star Shirley Temple dies at age 85
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Any kid who ever tap-danced at a talent show or put on a curly wig and auditioned for "Annie" can only dream of being as beloved — or as important — as Shirley Temple.
Any kid who ever tap-
Temple, who died Monday night at 85, sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of spirited Depression-era moviegoers and remains the ultimate child star decades later. Other preteens, from Macaulay Culkin to Miley Cyrus, have been as famous in their time. But none of them helped shape their time the way she did.
Temple remains such a symbol of innocence that kids still know the drink named for her: a sweet, nonalcoholic cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.
Her hit movies — which included "Bright Eyes" (1934), "Curly Top" (1935), "Dimples" (1936), "Poor Little Rich Girl" (1936) and "Heidi" (1937) — featured sentimental themes and musical subplots, with stories of resilience and optimism that a struggling American public found appealing. She kept children singing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" for generations.
She was also a tribute to the economic and inspirational power of movies, credited with helping to save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy and praised by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself for lifting America's spirits during a gloomy time.
She was "just absolutely
marvelous, greatest in the world," director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book "Who the Devil Made It: Conversations With Legendary Film Directors."
"With Shirley, you'd just tell her once and she'd remember the rest of her life," said Dwan, who directed her in "Heidi" and "Brebeca of Sunnybrook Farm." "Whatever it was she was supposed to do — she'd do it. ... And if one of the actors got stuck, she'd tell him what his line was — she knew
"In both roles, she truly lifted people up and earned not only a place in our hearts, but also our enduring respect."
GEORGE H. W BUSH Former President
it better than he did."
Her achievements did not end with movies. Retired from acting at 21, she went on to hold several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the sudden collapse of communism in 1989.
"In both roles, she truly lifted people up and earned not only a place in our hearts, but also our enduring respect," former President George H.W. Bush said.
From 1935 to 1938, she was the most popular screen actress in the country and was a bigger draw than Clark
Gable, Joan Crawford or Gary Cooper. In 1999, the American Film Institute's ranking of the greatest screen legends put Temple at No.18 among the 25 actresses.
"I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early," she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild.
But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother: "There's nothing like real love. Nothing."
Temple and her movies were an escapist delight at a time when America was down in the dumps.
Her appeal faded as quickly as it had emerged. She missed a shot at playing Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" when 20th Century Fox chief Darryl Zanuck refused to lend out his greatest asset; the part went to Judy Garland. And "The Little Princess" in 1939 and "The Blue Bird" in 1940 didn't draw big crowds, prompting Fox to let Temple go.
Among her later films were "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer," with Cary Grant, and "That Hagen Girl," with Ronald Reagan.
After her film career ended, she concentrated on raising her family and turned to television to host and act in 16 specials called "Shirley Temple's Storybook" on ABC. In 1960, she joined NBC and aired "The Shirley Temple Show."

Comic Nathan Fielder parodies Starbucks coffee
LOS ANGELES — It was a caffeine-charged Hollywood whodunit: Just whose bright idea was the "Dumb Starbucks" coffee shop that popped up and started serving free drinks from the corner of an otherwise uncelebrated strip mall*
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Keeping a straight face, Canadian comic Nathan Fielder told a crowd he was pursuing the "American dream" before acknowledging that he planned to use the bit on his Comedy Central show "Nathan For You."
After several days of speculation, the big reveal came Monday: The buzz-generating shop was a comedian's publicity stunt.
Soon after, Los Angeles County health inspectors shut it down for operating without a valid permit.
Earlier in the day, and for
much of the weekend, a line from the store wound along-side the parking lot and up the block. Some patrons snapped pictures in front of a green awning and mermaid logo that is familiar — except that the word "Dumb" is prominently featured.
They weren't coming for gourmet fare: Their descriptions of the coffee ranged from "horrible" to "bitter," and one parent said his daughter complained that the hot chocolate was like water.
"It was a pretty dumb idea to come out in the cold" and wait for nearly two hours to get a coffee, joked Anthony Solis, who lives in nearby Hollywood.
Instead, they were just coming to say they came, and to score a white paper cup with a sticker bearing the curious logo.
Before the rush of the past few days, production crews came to the location several times to film, according to permits taken out with Film LA, a private nonprofit that issues the licenses. The permits were billed to Abso Lutely Productions, which has produced Fielder's show.
erated grew over the weekend with a boost from posts on Twitter and Facebook.
Dumb Starbucks opened Friday, and the interest it gen-
"While we appreciate the humor, they cannot use our name, which is a protected trademark," Laurel Harper, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Starbucks Corp., said in an email.
Once opened, Dumb Starbucks caught the attention of the real Starbucks.

Former U.S Rep.
writes gun control
book
+
NEW YORK — Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is working on a book about gun control. The Arizona Democrat and her husband, the retired Navy captain and astronaut Mark Kelly, are collaborating on "Enough: Our Fight to Keep America Safe from Gun Violence."
The book is based on an essay by Giffords that appeared in The New York Times last April, when she responded to the fatal shootings of 20 children and six educators in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012. Giffords chastised senators who blocked gun legislation that included expanded background checks and a ban on assault weapons.
"Enough" was one of the first words Gabby said to me after we learned about the Newtown, Conn., massacre." Kelly said in a statement issued Tuesday by the book's publisher, Scribner. "As Second Amendment supporters and gun owners ourselves, we hope our book rouses the long-overdue conversation our country needs to make responsible changes to our gun laws so that no more precious lives are lost."
Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced that "Enough" was scheduled for release in June. Scribner previously published "Gabby: A Story of Courage, Love and Resilience," in which Giffords and Kelly told of the former congresswoman's miraculous recovery from being shot in the head in 2011.
For both books, Giffords and Kelly were represented by Robert Barnett, the Washington attorney whose other clients have included President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush.

THE MORNING BREW
Stay classy in defeat,don't fuel rival fans
E
Everyone knows the Jayhawks are on the Mount Rushmore of college basketball. Kansas is one of those handful of teams that can refer to itself as "elite" without any argument. While this status as a program can bring joy from consistent success, it also brings with it a burden: it's a big deal when the Jayhawks lose. A big, big deal. And when that loss comes against a rival team, it becomes an apocalypse in Lawrence.
Monday was one of those apocalypses. The chaos did not come when the overtime buzzer sounded in Bramlage Coliseum. It was a road game, a rivalry game, the Jayhawks were outplayed; these things happen.
Instead, the real craziness came after the game.
The all-out social media war that ensued was a circus and a little bit of a problem. "K-State" was trending nationally on Twitter following the game Monday night, and a good portion of these tweets were justifications, excuses or unrelated attacks from Jayhawks fans. As expected, there was ample gloating from K-State fans. That's not to say Kansas fans have to take it lying down, either. Luckily, Kansas is a school where it's pretty easy to find a quick, one sentence statement or fact about the basketball team that can always suffice as a good comeback.
By Ben Burch sports@kansan.com
But just leave it there.
It's at the point when civil joking turns into long, heated arguments or personal, basketball-unrelated attacks or hour-long history lessons about Kansas basketball that make fans start to look foolish. This is the reaction
that Jayhawk-haters want to see, the reaction that K-State fans were eager to incite when they made their posts and tweets and texts Monday night. A lot of K-State fans got what they wanted.
It's tough to hold back in the heat of the moment. But, sometimes Kansas fans have to take a step back and think. Each time Jayhawks fans fight back after losses, it fuels the fire on the other side resulting in backlash that only leads to further anger and frustration.
THE BREW
Don't give them what they want. Try to be as gracious of a loser as you can when these rare losses, especially rivalry losses, happen. And if you want to make a quick comeback, do so in good fun, keep it to a minimum, and don't do it without also acknowledging
+
the loss and giving a little credit to the other team.
Next time you find yourself, after another tough rivalry loss, phone in hand, finger over the "Tweet" button, your tenth-straight 140-character attack on K-State in front of you, just remember..you
g o to kansas. There's always March to look forward to as a layhawk, and if this season doesn't work out, it's almost a guarantee the next season's team will be poised to make another run toward glory.

COMMENTARY K-State loss not a big deal
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
Kansas has dominated Kansas State in basketball for the better part of the last two decades. If Kansas is the Harlem Globetrotters, then Kansas State is the Washington Generals. If Kansas is the sun, then Kansas State is the polar ice caps.
Before Monday, Kansas won 48 of the last 51 games against the Wildcats. The most recent matchup was in Allen Field-house. The Jayhawks took to a huge lead, put the clamps on freshman Marcus Foster, and ended the night with an 86-60 victory. The game was as much of a blowout as the score suggested.
The history of this rivalry, both the long term and the short term, would indicate that any loss to Kansas State would be a major disappointment.
However, that was not the case last night. Unlike the debacle against Texas, this was not a bad loss. This was simply a loss.
To start, Kansas was missing one of its key bench players, Jamari Traylor, who was benched for disciplinary reasons. Traylor defends the pick and roll much better than Perry Ellis, who got burned by poor switching several times in the second half. In general, Traylor is the right defender to throw at shorter forwards such as Kansas State's Thomas Gipson and D.J. Johnson. Traylor's impact sometimes is not visible on the score, but this loss showed his reach extends beyond the obvious statistics.
Another one of Kansas' key players, Joel Embiid, was unavailable for the latter parts of the game, due to a culmination of injuries occurring over the last several games. Embiid was unable to contribute much outside of the first twenty minutes. His towering presence was sorely missed, as Kansas State attacked the rim with ease and made eleven layups in the second half and overtime.
Monday night also produced some good teaching moments for Kansas to draw upon. Down nine points with two minutes to go (eerily mirroring the last two minutes of the 2008 national championship game.) Kansas fought hard to tie the game in regulation. The grit Kansas shows in the last couple minutes of games is encouraging, as shown in the losses against Florida and San Diego State. The Jayhawks need to prove they can play with this kind of intensity during the earlier minutes of the game.
Kansas also hung in the game against a good team when its offense never got going. Kansas shot 42 percent from the field, and until Conner Frankamp's garbage time 3-point at the end of the game, shot 13 percent from three. These numbers usually suggest a lopsided loss, but the Jayhawks stayed aggressive by getting to the free throw line. Which is the perfect solution for an off-shooting game. In addition, Brannen Greene and Frankamp provided valuable minutes, showing they can be used in important games down the road.
It's never good to lose to a rival. But Self uses the game film to focus on positives and fix the negatives; it will be forged come March.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas looks to overcome inconsistency against TCU
KYLE PAPPAS sports@kansan.com
One of the first words that comes to mind when describing this year's Kansas women's basketball team is "inconsistency." The Jayhawks have yet to win back-to-back Big 12 games and haven't displayed the ability to maintain any momentum through the season.
Predicting which Jayhawk (11-13, 4-8 Big 12) team will show up has been about as accurate as the daily horoscope. Will it be the squad that took down the No. 7 Baylor Bears by sixteen points on Jan. 19? Or will it be the bunch that was dismantled nine days later by unranked Texas, 80-55?
"That's what happens when you don't show up in this league" Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said following the Texas loss. "No matter where, you don't show up, you don't play, that's what happens in this league."
Kansas players will certainly have their coach's words in the back of their minds heading into tonight's home game against TCU (14-9, 5-6 Big 12). The Horned Frogs have been a fixture in the bottom half of the conference for
It's clearly the Jayhawks' best chance to get back on track before the Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament in March. Losers of consecutive conference games, Kansas will again look to junior forward Chelsea Gardner to help turn things around.
Gardner has been on a tear in 2014, being named espnW's Player of the Week earlier in the season while leading the conference in double-doubles with nine. But in Kansas' last outing against Oklahoma, Gardner was held in check, not recording a field goal in the entire first half.
much of the season and enter Lawrence having lost five of their past eight contests.
Knight was one of the few Jayhawks to elevate her game in the absence of Gardner's production. She finished with 25 points while shooting 67 percent from behind the arc in undoubtedly the best game of her career. She's become a constant threat to score and is dangerous from nearly everywhere on the court. Expect Knight to get several open opportunities in transition while TCU occupies itself with Gardner down low.
"We could've done a better job of just penetrating," junior guard Natalie Knight said after the game. "You know, trying to dish to [Gardner] or getting her rotational rebounds"
The Horned Frogs are fresh off a 72-57 home victory over Texas Tech, which remain the Big 12's sole winless team. They're led by sophomore guard Medley Zahna, who's averaging 16 points and 3.8 assists per game as the team's primary playmaker. TCU sits last in the conference in both free throw percentage and defensive rebounding, so look for Henrickson to attempt to exploit these areas.
When these two met earlier this season in Fort Worth, Kansas allowed the Horned Frogs to mount an 11-point comeback over the game's final five minutes in surely one of its most disappointing losses of the year. You can be sure it hasn't been forgotten. Anticipate a fairly physical game as both sides are attempting to gain some, or any, momentum heading into this final stretch of the regular season.

HELPING THE HOMELESS
Local woman finds needed support through Lawrence Community Shelter
EMILY DONOVAN
news@kansan.com
Until recently, nearly everybody Lawanna Crow knew was either using or dealing dope.
Crow, a 49-year-old woman from Wichita, has been sober for two and a half years. She found the support she needed after hitting rock bottom: homeless and addicted to crack. She knocked on the Lawrence Community Shelter door to ask for help.
"They saw something in me here at the shelter that I didn't see in myself." Crow said.
She's always optimistic, complimenting others' accomplishments and smiling. Next month, Crow hopes to pass the GED test.
In sixth grade, Crow dropped out of school. She was slower than other people in class. She didn't want to be put in special education classes or get teased by the other kids.
"I was embarrassed so I quit going." Crow said.
Crow started working parttime at a Burger King. She helped around the house too, babysitting some of her three brothers and six sisters.
It was 1987 when she really got into the crack scene. The first time she used, she didn't know the weed joint her cousin passed her was laced.
She smoked on a pipe at her apartment, other peoples' houses or driving around town.
"I didn't get paranoid or psycho like some people do on it; I just had fun," Crow said. "And I felt popular. Because people hung out with me when I was partying."
Crow thinks she'd be a millionaire if she could go back and count all the money she stole and hustled to spend on crack.
"You don't care who you hurt. All you worried about is that next high."
LAWANNA CROW
Lawrence citizen
She voided receipts of big meal orders to steal from work. She shoplifted. She stole a friend's 42-inch flat-screen television. She was in and out of jail for prostitution. One time, she said, a dope dealer put a hit out on her after she drugged his drink and stole his stash.
"When you're out there on that, you don't care what you do to get it." Crow said. "You don't care who you hurt. All you worried about is that next high."
When she left her husband, she had nothing to take with her and nowhere else to go but the Lawrence Community Shelter. A case manager

Student Senate addresses social media policy
图1-2
Student Senate passed a resolution on Wednesday opposing the Kansas Board of Regents' social media policy that gives chancellors the right to penalize faculty or staff for improper social media use.
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
Student Senate voted 57-7-3 to oppose the new social media policy in a resolution during the weekly meeting Wednesday evening.
The resolution urged the Kansas Board of Regents to suspend the policy and replace it with something new that respects public-employee speech protected by the First Amendment.
"The policy is really, really vague," said Garrett Farlow, university affairs associate senator and author of the resolution. "It can apply to any type of situation involving social media if a professor were to send out anything putting the University in a negative light."
Farlow said the policy is more intrusive to the rights

of students and professors than helpful in restricting controversial comments.
Following journalism professor David Guth's controversial tweet regarding the National Rifle Association in September, the Kansas Board of Regents approved an amendment in December addressing social media use of KU faculty and staff.
The policy change grants the chancellors of board universities the right to suspend, dismiss or terminate faculty or staff based on improper social media use. The term "improper" blankets actions like disclosing confidential information, inciting violence, and communication through social media to accomplish official duties.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a previous article that faculty and staff are
The Kansas State University publication The Collegian also indicated that faculty felt the policy endangered free speech rights. This included professor Phillip Nel, who responded with what he called an experiment of civil disobedience.
concerned the policy will be too restrictive, limiting their ability to voice important issues.
Nel encouraged his Twitter followers to tweet anything using "#kssspeech"to determine the restrictions of the social media policy. Farlow recommended taking part in the movement.
Student Senate also condemned the policy unanimously in a meeting on Feb. 6 because members felt it infringes upon the
"The more steam we get behind this, the more change we'll see," said Farlow.

Students stay connected with parents

With 6 million college graduates currently unemployed and future job prospects looking bleak, moving back home after graduation isn't considered a safety net anymore, it is nearly a foregone conclusion.
According to recent figures from the Census Bureau, 1 in 3 young adults ages 18 to 34 live with their parents or in-laws, which is leading many students to believe they should not distance themselves too much from home during their college years. For students at the University, this means calling back home every once in a while is a must.
Kyle Bishop, a sophomore from Wichita, calls home once a week, something he said is necessary for everyone, especially those who may feel the need to move back home.
"I definitely think people should keep a close tie with their family," Bishop said. "It's important to keep in touch in case things go wrong, you want to have that safety net. You want to be there for them and they want to be there for you."
With the ability to stay in touch through multiple different platforms, like email, text message and Facebook, young adults and their parents are finding it much easier to stay in constant contact as well, which could benefit their relationship. A study from Brigham Young
WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN.
University revealed that those who connected with their parents through Facebook were more likely to have positive social behavior than those who didn't.
But for Bishop, avoiding Facebook and sticking to one simple phone call a week is enough.
"I try to stay away from involvement with social media and my family," Bishop said. "Texting I try to keep to a minimum too. It's mainly just a phone call to keep it concise. I think it's better that way."
Carlie Hall, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., said she felt this way in her first year at the University, but the frequency she's called and visited home has decreased significantly as her time in Lawrence has increased.
"My freshman year I would always call my mom on the weekends; I missed her a lot," Hall said. "I went home every other weekend too, but now I may go once a month or less. I just have a lot more to do now. I'm more comfortable on my own and Lawrence is

French president visits Silicon Valley

SINCE 1973
ASSOCIATED PRESS
French president Francois Hollande, at right, waves as he arrives at city hall on Wednesday in San Francisco. The French president visited San Francisco to meet politicians, lunch with Silicon Valley tech executives and inaugurate a new U.S.-French Tech Hub.
SAN FRANCISCO France's president met with Silicon Valley and government leaders in the heart of tech country Wednesday, just days after a French regulator hit Google with an embarrassing regulatory slap and after years of efforts to wrest more taxes from tech firms.
President Francois Hollande was greeted at San Francisco City Hall by Mayor Ed Lee, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz as school children waved French and American flags on the stairway of the rotunda.
More than 300 French companies have offices in California, and a large portion of U.S. investments in France are from California, Hollande told the crowd at a City Hall reception in his honor.
is being invented," Hollande said. "For centuries, France has wanted to change the world. Together, we can."
Later in the day, Hollande and members of his cabinet had lunch at a French restaurant with Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt; Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook; and Twitter chairman and co-founder Jack Dorsey.
"It is here in California that the world of tomorrow
Most of the luncheon was closed to the media, and no details of the discussions were released.
Hollande points to the U.S. tech industry as an economic success that he hopes to replicate at home. But he's also been among the leaders of Europe's fight to prevent what the continent sees as a systematic attempt by tech firms to invade privacy and avoid paying their corporate fair share.
Hollande later met with French entrepreneurse
and inaugurated an office in the gritty Dogpatch neighborhood aimed at supporting their efforts to gain a foothold in Silicon Valley. That meeting also was mostly private.
Marie Buhot-Launay, who heads marketing for the office, said staff members were giddy that Hollande was throwing government support behind the venture, given the intense competition
French innovators face from competitors in Germany, Finland and Ireland.
"For French entrepreneurs, the American dream still exists and especially in Silicon Valley," she said.

She enrolled in a savings program, putting all of her earnings into an account she said she won't touch until she's ready to rent a home of her own. The shelter found and encouraged her to enroll in a long-term substance abuse program. It was there she learned to live without drugs.

going into that cycle," Crow said.
Henderson said the shelter helps people to set a plan, to become confident they can achieve their own goals and to get the tools they need to do so. The shelter provides medication for those who need it and helps send clients to other programs, such as addiction counseling or halfway housing. The shelter also provides bus passes so clients like Crow can get to class, or where they need to be, and provides social support.

Crow volunteers now too: opening the shelter's kitchen and selling "Change of Heart," Lawrence's street newspaper written for, by and about homeless people. Volunteering and going to class helps her feel confident, reminding her she can have a life without drugs and alcohol.
"I'm determined today," Crow said. "I wanna reach my goals and I want to be successful. To fulfill my heart's desire, this is what I got to do."

Once she gets her diploma. Crow wants to help others dealing with addiction as a peer mentor in an addiction counseling program.
"I want to be able to share my experiences with them," she said. "Maybe they'll want to grab a hold and get their lives together too."
The Lawrence Community Shelter accepts food, item and entertainment donations. Volunteers can help serve food or tutor. But, Crow said, helping homelessness can be as easy as saying hello to someone on Massachusetts Street.
"Some people just want you to listen to them," Crow said. "It's not necessarily giving all the time. Some people might just need a hug, you know?"

As Friday approaches and single women are disheartened by not having a date for Valentine's Day, here is my message to you: you are all BEAUTIFUL in EVERY way! Don't ever forget that.
I hate that I am so diligent a student I don't have time to get free condoms. #ProtectYourLaiy

US should pursue energy security, not independence
Energy independence is the idea that the U.S. can be energy self-sufficient. You might have heard clamoring about it before. Perhaps political unrest afflicts oil-rich region X and then the price of gasoline at the QuikTrip on 23rd Street rises. If only the U.S. didn't need those pesky other countries that can't seem to be politically stable; if only the U.S. was energy independent!
See, I'm all for oil and gas exploration and production, but proclaiming the potential for energy independence is equivalent to advocating some extreme environmentalist position that the world will run exclusively on solar power. Setting energy
The idea that the U.S. will be energy independent is just rhetoric. People use the fears of past oil price shocks and even the American distrust for the Middle East to fuel their agenda. Perhaps some actually believe U.S. energy independence is on the horizon.
independence as a goal is even more preposterous, yet some leading politicians and oilmen do it anyway.
Let me be clear: barring some unimaginable technological feat, I doubt energy independence is going to happen. This is especially true given the environmental pressures on hydrocarbon resources. There is too much demand, and given ever tightening regulations, not
By Chris Ouyang
opinion@kansan.com
enough domestic supply.
There are strong arguments that energy trade isn't all bad, even stabilizing international relations. I won't get into that here, but Roger Howard's 2008 "An Ode to Oil" in the Wall Street Journal is a must-read.
But firms and people in power continue to talk about "energy independence," which confuses the public and stirs up an ugly version of nationalism, as if it's un-
American to be realistic about trade. In a world complete with sophisticated exchanges and complex trade channels, claiming that one day the U.S. won't need oil from other countries is a pipe dream.
Then how can the U.S. protect itself from dominant oil suppliers? How can we guarantee, when we graduate from the University, that our quality of life will continue to improve (demanding more and more energy)?
The simplest answer is that we cannot, at least not completely. That's scary, but it's the truth, unlike promises of energy independence.
As energy authority Daniel Yergin once claimed, energy security — a certain
resilience and adaptability is a much more reasonable goal. Changing that one word, independence, to security, has significance. It's not a matter of semantics; rather, there is this implied understanding that trade is not evil, and a diversity of suppliers is what secures the energy future. Pursuing hydrocarbons domestically is fine, just don't use "energy independence" rhetoric to gain supporters.

CULTURE
Self-discrimination leads to isolation
There is a new discrimination. One that everyone struggles with, even me I am 19 years old. I haven't seen much of the world, but the little bit that I have seen is enough to teach me a few things. Discrimination in our generation is not the same as it was in 1960. Today, we fight a different battle, the battle of self-discrimination.
The Oxford dictionary defines discrimination as "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race, age, or sex." Self-discrimination occurs when a minority in a situation separates itself from the majority. For instance, on the first day of class two minority girls freeze before sitting in opposite corners of the room. If not the corners, then the back of the room, separating themselves from the majority.
Another example: Mrs. E's. I'm by myself, searching the bustling room for a place to sit and eat. Some people look at me, others don't. Finally, I find a seat in the corner. What do I do? Well, I do what most lone diners do: I take out my phone. I always wonder what people would think if they saw me checking the weather 15 times. Several times I've seen other students do the same thing. I've watched student after student walk by without giving a glance toward a lone diner. They may think, "They look like they don't want to be bothered." Well if you were sitting by yourself with only
By Crystal Bradshaw opinion@kansan.com
the weather app to accompany you, wouldnt you look a little melancholy?
Naturally, minorities feel hesitant to integrate with the majority and the majority feels hesitant to blend with minorities. This results in isolation and separation. From the observations I've made on campus, minorities are mainly sitting in the corners. Some people may not want to be bothered or may be shy, but essentially the issue is our constant struggle to understand different cultures.
Discrimination starts with you and me—inside our minds. Racial boundaries and tension still only exist because our minds allow them to. There aren't any Jim Crow laws, dictators, or constitutions that institutionalise separation. You never will know what that person would've said if you sat and ate with them unless you try.
Yes, there will be times you'll be rejected. Some people will not want you to integrate yourself into their group. You're afraid to try, and that teaches you that there are intangible boundaries that must never be crossed. Discrimination doesn't have a preference. All that matters is you. It doesn't matter if you are the minority of the situation; don't be afraid to reach out.

ENVIRONMENT
Government should invest in alternative transportation
There is no shortage of environmental causes these days. Between saving the whales and "going green" it seems everyone has a cause they're supporting. While this has helped promote a sense of environmentalism among millions of people, the efforts of environmental organizations in recent years have yet to yield a strategy for changing one of the biggest contributors to global warming: the exhaust expelled by millions of cars every day.
According to a 2011 report released by Ward Auto, the total number of cars in the world has surpassed the 1 billion mark. The United States contributes the largest number of cars at approximately 239.8 million vehicles.
By Rob Pyatt
opinion@kansan.com
Not only do these millions of vehicles clog America's highways, they contribute unprecedented pollution to the atmosphere. According to an article in The Washington Post, global vehicle emissions account for approximately 23 percent of all greenhouse emissions around the world.
the increasing emissions pumped into the atmosphere, particularly in nations like China, whose population is expected to only increase its demand for vehicles in the coming years.
One would think that combating such a large contributor to global warming would be a top priority for environmental organizations. But little has been done to curb
One viable option for combating climate change while also increasing the efficiency of American transportation is the adoption of a mass transit system similar to that of Europe's bullet trains. These trains use only a fraction of the fuel than widely used modes of transportation, all while transporting thousands of commuters every day.
So if the mass transit system adopted by Europe has proved so effective in decreasing traffic and greenhouse gas emissions, why has the United States been so slow to adopt such a system?
One reason may be the unique culture of the United States, where individuality is favored more than communal activities, making the commute on a high-speed train less appealing than
a one-person commute. In addition, the American highway system, which has been in place or under construction since former President Dwight Eisenhower approved it in 1956, would cost untold millions — if not billions — to uproot and replace with train tracks.
The costs to create and maintain a mass transit system in the United States may come with serious costs, but the benefits of such a system, should it come to be, would help to combat one of the most serious causes of global warming. Millions of people would be able to travel long distances more efficiently and with less of an effect on the environment. If the United States were to adopt such a system, the world would be one step closer to establishing a greener and more sustainable environment.

2014 brings promising live music to Lawrence
MUSIC
Lawrence is often considered to be one of the best places in Kansas for live music and 2014 is shaping up to be a great year for concerts. With the sheer volume of bands that come to Lawrence, it can be difficult to figure out which shows are worth seeing. Well don't worry, here are just a few picks of shows that are guaranteed to be great.
First up, at the Granada, located at 1020 Massachusetts St., on Feb. 18 will be the soulful styling of Mayer Hawthorne. Hawthorne may not look like the kind of guy you would normally see singing neo-soul but once he opens his mouth all preconceived notions are thrown out the window. If you're a fan of '70s style soul music with a modern touch, you will not want to miss this show.
Also at the Granada on March 7 will be progressive metal group Between the Buried and Me, if you're looking for something a little heavier. The Granada has hosted plenty of great metal bands over the last few months and this show should be no

different. Between the Buried and Me are known for their complex riffles and eclectic instrumentation that can go from intense to melodic in the span of ten seconds. This show is sure to be one that metal fans will not want to miss.
For fans of indie music, on March 10 at Liberty Hall, located at 644 Massachusetts St., Dr. Dog will be performing. Dr. Dog's music features a unique blend of power pop melodies with crunchy '60s style guitars. I hate to use the term "Beatlesque" because I feel it gets overused but I would say that that is an apt description of Dr. Dog's music. Whether you've heard all their songs before or you're a new fan, Dr. Dog will have you singing along with all of their songs.
Finally, for fans looking for

HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood still isn't reflecting the nation's diversity in its entertainment products, and that omission is costing the industry considerable amounts in lost revenues.
Film, TV industry's diversity doesn't look like America's, study says
That's the main conclusion of a comprehensive report about diversity in the film and TV industry released Wednesday by UCLA's Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies.
The study, which is titled "2014 Hollywood Diversity Report: Making Sense of the Disconnect," finds that minorities and women are represented far below their

Hunt said that while executives at Hollywood studios and networks repeatedly maintain that diversity is important, there seems to be little progress.
"They don't see diversity as being good for the marketplace," said Hunt. "They only address it when there's protest and the cage is rattled."
"The fact is that America is becoming more and more diverse, but the Hollywood industry hasn't kept up," said Darnell Hunt, the lead author of the report and the center's director. "There's been a little progress, but it's been at a glacial pace. Hollywood is woefully out of touch with an emerging America."
The year in film in 2011 seemed to typify the underrepresentation of minorities. In that year, minorities had lead roles in just under 11 percent of the 172 films considered. Meanwhile, according to the latest data from the U.S. Census, non-white minorities account for about 36 percent of the nation's population.

The report analyzed more than 1,000 TV shows on 68 different cable and broadcast networks during the 2011-2012 season, and also 172 American-made movies in 2011. Researchers examined the level of diversity in front of and behind the camera, the rosters of Hollywood's most prominent talent agencies, and the winners of Oscars, Emmys and other honors.

Whether you love it or hate it, it comes around every February 14th. Flowers, chocolates, cupids, greeting cards, kisses, lovebirds, hearts and lace, they all represent this complicated holiday steeped in fascinating history and mythological mystery.
If you're the type who is "in love with love," you'll go all out on this special day.

If you're the type who'd rather skip the whole month of February, you'll just need to grin and bear it!
you don't want to miss out on a great line up of foodie favorites: grilled KC strip steak, golden brown butterfly shrimp, baked potatoes, fresh sautéed veggies, and a bountiful salad buffet.
But if you have to acknowledge Valentine's Day, before you head out for a high-priced off campus, consider enjoying a special Valentine's Day meal with KU Dining, and put the dollars you'll save toward movie tickets, a bouquet, or a nice sensible gift, like a singing teddy bear!
KU's three campus dining centers—Mrs. E.'s in Lewis Hall, Oliver Dining in Oliver Hall and North College Café in GSP—will be serving a special menu for dinner on Friday, February 14th. Created with care by the chefs in KU Dining.
After dinner, impressive dessert bars will round out the meal at each of the dining centers: chocolate fondue with fresh fruits, pretzels, marshmallows and brownie bites at Oliver Dining; fresh strawberry pie and decadent chocolate chunk cookies at Mrs. E's; and Tiramisu, fresh strawberries and an ultimate chocolate mousse cake at North College Cafe.
Those who have a KU meal plan or KU Cuisine Cash are set. Guests of our residents can use a "guest pass" a benefit of those who have dining plans, or they may pay the $9.50 door price, which is still one great deal.

Even if you don't have a special someone this year, KU Dining wants you to be their valentine and join them for dinner, made with love!

case for single Jayhawks. This year, students will do a lot of different things to celebrate, but being sad isn't one of them.
Hetro
"Everyone should be with people that they enjoy being around on Valentine's Day. Just because you are not dating anyone doesn't mean that you have to spend the day by yourself," Hetro said. "Go out and ask someone who is close to you and spend the day with him or her. Valentine's Day is a day where everyone should make someone the focus and make them feel special."
Lawrence restaurants don't expect to see a huge difference in traffic on Valentine's Day, possibly just more couples. Kristen Indihar, a waitress and bartender at Lawrence's On the Border, hopes to see an increase in single Jayhawks Friday night.
"I think we are going to see a wide variety of people on Friday," Indihar said. "We're nice enough to be a date spot, but we get a lot of friend groups, too. Plus, who can deny good queso and marges?"
O'Sullivan
"I think the real idea of the holiday is to demonstrate and tell those you care about that they mean so much to you, whether they are your significant other or just a close friend or family member," O'Sullivan said. "These are important people in your life, so why not make the day?"

Local artists impress crowd at Hashinger
MUSIC
ANISSA FRITZ entertain@kansan.com
At 9 p.m. on Tuesday, The Studio in Hashinger Hall was jamming, but not with its everyday usual customer conversation, the hum of blenders, MTV blaring on the television, and the noise of cards being called out over the intercom. No, tonight it was the original jams of Lawrence's own CS Luxem and Dean Monkey and the Dropouts.
Dean Monkey and the Dropouts took the stage first. Being a group of eight members allowed them to steal a second glance from those who walked by, but once their music started playing many were forced by the power of good tunes to sit down and listen. The mixture of the two female voices along with the male lead singer gave Dean Monkey and the Dropouts a very appealing and warming quality. The fact that not just one person sang each song was very entertaining and gave them an edge that many other up-and-coming bands lack.With their do-op style and quirky eight members, Dean Monkey and the Dropouts set the tone right for a night of fun, upbeat music.
well as the other guests who came to support, enjoyed the show and not only embraced these not so normal styles of music but thoroughly enjoyed them as well.
As Christopher Luxem (the leader of the band CS Luxem) took the stage, a transformation had occurred. During interviews the Christopher presented wore a red beanie and rounded out eye-glasses that one would see from the '60s era. But as Christopher mounted the stage, both of those accessories were gone and in their place was a square box that was covered in rugs sitting right beside him. The box is actually a machine that gives Christopher the ability to alternate and distort his vocal patterns through his songs, giving his music a psychedelic effect. The music that came from him and his three other band members ranged so extreme it was hard to keep up. From partly screamo at times to very indie, there was never a dull moment during the performance.

The Studio at Hashinger Hall hosted two local Lawrence bands this past Tuesday, Feb. 11, Dean Monkey and the Dropouts along with CS Luxem. Not only did these fine musicians bring their skill and musical talent, they also provided a good insight into the minds and thought processes of a local musician.
DEAN MONKEY AND THE DROPOUTS
Dean Monkey and the Dropouts is a quirky, wacky, yet brilliant band that consists of eight members, six males and two female singers. Out of these eight members, four of them are KU graduates. The band was formed in 2011 and has undergone drastic group member changes as well as genre changes over the course of three years. The questions listed below were answered by the band's very own Max Yoder and Sam Michie.
Q: What do you enjoy most about playing for small crowds?
What makes it worth it?
A: I like to see people dancing and singing along with us- Sam We seem to force people to react in some way and that's a key part of what we do. I used to hate going to concerts and just see people standing around. - Max
Q: What makes you different from other local bands?
A: We take ourselves a little less seriously than we should. We dress up in costumes a lot, too, like superheroes and on Halloween we were the nativity scene. - Sam
Q: Since there is such a big group of you, do you all have any band rituals or things that you do before you go on stage?
A: We used to applaud for each other. Not on stage but during rehearsals. - Sam
It was kind of like an ego boost for one another - Max
you?
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring musicians who one day hope to be performing like
A: It's really helpful to be a part of a community of bands, it's also helpful to integrate yourself in the community. Max
CS LUXEM
CS Luxem is a group of four whose lead singer's name is also the name of the band. What CS Luxem lacks in size it makes up for in variety. Ranging from mild screamo to funky indie all tied together for a psychedelic kick, along with technology that allows Christopher Luxem to bring sound effects to his voice that one can get in a music studio, to the stage. Christopher provided the answers to the following questions.
A: I like playing for rooms the most. Exploring how to fill the space. I love music but I like sounds the most.
Q: What do you enjoy the most about playing in front of crowds?
Q: Where do you hope to see yourself in five years?
A: I'll perform till I die. There are various degrees of success.
The idea of celebritism isn't appealing to me because it becomes all about gossip. There really is no end goal for me.
A: The most important thing is just to do things and not be discouraged. It's important to do as much as you can, the more you do the better you get.
Q: What makes you different from other local bands?
A: The idea of the sounds we are creating. The type of sounds we choose and where we decide to take those sounds specifically recorded and live, especially with vocal exploration.
Q: What advice would you give to the kids who one day want to be musicians such as yourself one day?
Lawrence is home to hundreds of artistic souls just waiting for their time to shine. For Dean Monkey and the Dropouts as well as CS Luxem, they are just a few of the many stars waiting their turn. Until then they will continue to bring great music to the college students of the University as well as to the town that made them who they are.

Barbie to feature in this year's SI Swimsuit issue
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After 50 years of debate over her unattainably perfect figure, Barbie now is unapologetic about her tiny waist and endless legs.
To prove it? The doll, which is made by Mattel, is flaunting her frame in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 50th anniversary issue that's hitting stands on Tuesday. She'll be featured alongside supermodels like Christie Brinkley and Brooklyn Decker as part of a campaign called "unapologetic."
"As a legend herself, and under constant criticism about her body and how she looks, posing ... gives Barbie ... and her fellow legends an opportunity to own who they are," Mattel said in a statement.
The campaign is a departure for the 55-year old doll, which has been both beloved as a plaything and criticized as an unrealistic standard of beauty for decades.
In fact, Barbie has faced scrutiny for everything from her chiseled facial features and disproportionately small waist to her "life choices." And last year, an artist renewed controversy over Barbie's effect on body image after an artist posted pictures of the more meaty physique
the doll would have if she had the figure of an average 19-year-old.
Mattel has tried to change Barbie with the times. The doll has gone through several reinventions, including 150 careers, from architect to lifeguard, and a brief publicity-stunt breakup with her boyfriend Ken.
"The Sports Illustrated swim suit issue is one step away from Playboy magazine."
ALLEN ADAMSON Branding expert
But this latest move, which again sparked online debate on Wednesday about body image issues, comes as Mattel tries to revive interest in the doll icon. Barbie is worth an estimated $1.3 billion in sales for the toymaker and she's the No. 1 toy brand.
But Barbie has lost some popularity in recent years to edgier toys like Mattel's Monster High dolls with their tattoos and neon hair. In fact, Barbie has had declining sales in five of the last six quarters, with sales falling 13 percent in the most recent quarter.
Mattel hopes the "unapologetic" campaign will
boost Barbie's image.
As part of the campaign, there will be a collector Sports Illustrated Barbie doll, an event at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Beach House on Monday, a billboard in New York's Times Square and @Barbie tweets with the hashtag "unapologetic" on Twitter. Barbie also will appear on the cover of 1,000 issues in an advertising "cover wrap" for the New York Toy Fair, which starts Sunday.
"Unapologetic" is a word that Mattel executives use internally, said Lisa McKnight, the senior vice president at Mattel. But she said this is the first time the company is "engaging in a conversation publicly."
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editor MJ Day said Barbie fits in with the swimsuit issues" "message of empowerment" for women.
Spending for the campaign was undisclosed.
But Allen Adamson, a branding expert, said he's not sure a feature in Sport's Illustrated's swimsuit issue is the right strategy for the brand.
"The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is one step away from Playboy magazine," he said. "It is potentially sending the wrong message to girls."

'Dads' may retain spot in Fox lineup after racist joke
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — On Fox's Stage 20 in Century City, tension was building during a rehearsal of the television network's freshman comedy "Dads."
The disharmony had nothing to do with the cloud that has hung over "Dads" since even before its launch last September when it was savaged by a plethora of national TV critics and bloggers who declared the Seth MacFarlane series humorless, not to mention misogynistic and racist.
Instead, this brewing conflict was internal and of a comic nature. David (Peter Riegert), one of the politically incorrect titular fathers, and Edna (Tonita Castro), his rotund Mexican housekeeper who speaks in broken English, were fighting over the remote control. He wanted to watch "Homeland," she wanted to tune into "Real Housewives of Guadalajara."
"Homeland" — always the same," said Edna in her heavy accent, as she made loopy gestures around her head in reference to the show's
troubled heroine Carrie Mathison. “I crazy. I crazy.’ KA-BOOM!”
Eventually, the "Homeland" joke was cut, but surprisingly, given the social media firestorm that greeted it weeks before its fall premiere, the series has not been yet. Despite a rocky start, the program, which wrapped up its first season Tuesday, is still alive and has not been ruled out for a slot on next season's schedule.
Though whether "Dads" returns won't be announced for months, Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly, who gave the series a full season pickup soon after it premiered, continues to be a cheerleader for the series.
"I think 'Dads' has come a long way," Reilly told TV reporters and critics last month. "If you've actually watched the show — and secretly I know some of you are because I've heard from a few people who have quietly admitted that it's actually kind of funny — it is funny. The cast is as good as any on television. It makes me laugh.
some of the choppiness that they had in the pilot."
... They've smoothed out
Since its return midseason break in January, the comedy has performed steadily, scoring its highest ratings in the last three weeks since its premiere and maintaining an audience around 3.8 million. (In December, however, the network announced it was reducing the show's back order of episodes from nine to six, making its first season 19 episodes, not the usual 22.)
"It hurt the show. We were surprised and unhappy that the show got that response."
ALEC SULKIN "Dads" executive producer
At least publicly, the network's executives express support for the show built around a couple of thirtysomething men whose lives are upended when their cranky fathers move in with them. "We really like the material and what's being done," said Suzanna Makkos,
Fox's head of comedy.
That's welcome news to the show's producers, who blame the initial outcry against the show at the summer TV press tour for undercutting its ratings. They say a mob mentality among critics and bloggers mischaracterized the show as perpetuating racial stereotypes and offensive humor.
"It hurt the show," said executive producer Alec Sulkin. "We were surprised and unhappy that the show got that response. Racism is such a tricky word, and once that finger has been pointed, it's easier for a group to agree than for someone to disagree, and there are people out there who still have that perception about us."
The reaction stunned executives, particularly because the show hailed from network favorite MacFarlane and two of his key writers, Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. The tone of the live-action program, if anything, was relatively subdued compared with MacFarlane's popular animated "Family Guy" series, in which jokes involving races, ethnicity, sex

and religion are routine.
Much of the initial uproar was directed at the show's premiere episode, in which a character played by Brenda Song dresses like a giggly Asian schoolgirl — complete with uniform and knee socks, but with unbuttoned blouse — for a business meeting with Chinese investors. Of the gathering, the show's other father, played by Martin Mull, said: "The Chinese are a lovely and honorable people, but you can't trust them — there's a reason Shanghai is a verb."
"Dads' is so racist, and so tremendously unfunny," wrote Alyssa Rosenberg.
Some of the show's insiders have been bewildered by the onslaught, particularly when other series that dabble in ethnic stereotypes, such as CBS "2 Broke Girls" and "Mike and Molly" and ABC's "Modern Family" — seemed to have escaped similar criticism.
features editor of the ThinkProgress website, who was one of the more vocal critics of the show. She labeled the series "reprehensible" and "morally wrong."
"I don't quite understand why this has happened," said Riegert. "But this is as much fun as I've ever had working on a project."

Judge hears challenge of Texas' gay marriage ban
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALEXANDER MURPHY
Mark Phariss, left, holds the hand of partner Victor Holmes, center, as they leave the U.S. Federal Courthouse on Wednesday in San Antonio. District Judge Orlando Garcia said Wednesday he would issue a decision later after the two Texas men filed a civil rights lawsuit seeking permission to marry, and a lesbian couple sued to have their marriage recognized.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — Alawyer representing Texas asked a federal judge Wednesday to reject pleas from two gay couples to suspend the state constitution's definition of marriage as between one man and one woman, calling the legalization of same-sex marriages "a more recent innovation than Facebook."
Mike Murphy, an assistant Texas solicitor general, told District Judge Orlando Garcia if he lifted the state's voter-approved ban on gay marriage he would be injecting himself into a social and political debate that should be left to lawmakers.
Garcia scheduled Wednesday's hearing, which he noted was on President Abraham Lincoln's birthday, to consider a motion by two couples for a preliminary injunction immediately lifting the Texas gay marriage ban pending a trial later this year. Garcia did not immediately rule or give an indication when he might release a written decision but predicted this case, or one of 22 similar ones in other states, "will make its way to the Supreme Court."
"These questions are political questions, not constitutional rights," he told the court. "Same-sex marriage is not included in the fundamental right of marriage ... it is a more recent innovation than Facebook."
The case before Garcia is the first of its kind in Texas, and in the conservative 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Mark Phariss and Victor Holmes filed a federal civil rights lawsuit complaining that Texas' ban unconstitutionally denies
them the fundamental right to marry because of their sexual orientation. The other lawsuit was filed by Cleopatra De Leon and Nicole Dimetman, who argue that Texas officials are violating their rights and those of their 2-yearold child by not recognizing their marriage license from Massachusetts.

Attorney
who served in San Antonio, though both couples have since moved away.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican running for governor, opposes legalizing gay marriage and has vowed to defend the law. But civil rights groups recently won injunctions against similar bans in Utah and Oklahoma relying on the same argument being cited in the Texas case — that banning gay marriage violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
He also rejected Murphy's argument that lawmakers did not exclude homosexuals
Neel Lane, an attorney for the two couples, dismissed the state's argument that their rights were not violated because they are free to marry members of the opposite sex. He said that's like holding someone's head underwater and saying the person is free to breathe, just not air.
by passing the ban but were trying to promote responsible procreation.
"If marriage is good for children, then it is irrational to prohibit homosexual couples who could have children from being married," he said, pointing out that gays may adopt children in Texas.
While Garcia listened to arguments, another federal judge decided Wednesday that Kentucky must recognize
gay marriages performed in other states. In a 23-page ruling, U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II concluded that the government may define marriage and attach benefits to it, but cannot "impose a traditional or faith-based limitation" without a sufficient justification for it.
In his comments from the bench, Garcia mentioned key civil rights laws passed after the end of the Civil War
and pointed out that racial segregation and bans on interracial marriage were part of American tradition until federal judges declared them unconstitutional.
Attorneys general in other states have taken mixed approaches to court challenges to bans on gay marriage. Utah and Oklahoma are fighting rulings lifting their bans. In Nevada and Virginia, attorneys general have chosen
not to defend them.
The couples denied that they are trying to redefine marriage or carve out a new constitutional right.
"Marriage is something when two people who are committed to each other, who love each other and who want to demonstrate that commitment," Holmes said. "I think that is what the tradition is about and that tradition should apply to us."

Woman found guilty in cut-from-womb killing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WORCESTER, Mass. — A woman accused of killing her pregnant friend three months after her own miscarriage was convicted Wednesday of beating and strangling her, then cutting the baby from her womb and passing the child off as her daughter.
Julie Corey sobbed as a Worcester Superior Court jury found her guilty of the 2009 murder of 23-year-old Darlene Haynes. Sentencing was scheduled for Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Haynes was eight months pregnant when Corey attacked her and cut
the baby out of her body. They told the jury that Corey had been pregnant, too, but had a miscarriage three months earlier and told her boyfriend and family that Haynes' baby was her own.
Corey's lawyers contended that police failed to follow up on leads that could have implicated other potential suspects in the killing, including Haynes' ex-boyfriend. They also suggested that Haynes' ex-boyfriend had given Corey and her boyfriend, Alex Dion, the baby. Dion denied that on the witness stand.
Corey, 39, did not testify
during the trial.

Study disputes value of routine mammograms
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Canadian study that many experts say has major flaws has revived debate about the value of mammograms. The research suggests that these screening X-rays do not lower the risk of dying of breast cancer while finding many tumors that do not need treatment.
Rao
In this Thursday, May 6, 2010 file photo, a radiologist uses a magnifying glass to check mammograms for breast cancer in Los Angeles. A Canadian study published on Wednesday in the British journal BMJ has revived a debate about the value of mammograms. The study suggests that screening X-rays do not lower the risk of dying of breast cancer while finding many tumors that do not need treatment. Critics say the researchers used outdated equipment and methods that made mammograms look unfairly ineffective.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The study gives longer follow-up on nearly 90,000 women who had annual breast exams by a nurse to check for lumps plus a mammogram, or the nurse's breast exam alone. After more than two decades, breast cancer death rates were similar in the two groups, suggesting little benefit from mammograms.
It's important to note that this study did not compare mammograms to no screening at all, as most other research on this topic has. Many groups have not endorsed breast exams for screening because of limited evidence that they save lives.
Critics of the Canadian study also say it used outdated equipment and poor methods that made mammograms look unfairly ineffective.
The study was published Wednesday in the British journal BMJ. Many studies have found that mammography saves lives, but how many and for what age groups is debatable. It also causes many false alarms and overtreatment of cancers never destined to become life-threatening.
In the U.S., a government-appointed task force that gives screening advice does not back mammograms until age 50, and then only every other
year. The American Cancer Society recommends them every year starting at age 40. Other countries screen less aggressively. In Britain, for example, mammograms are usually offered only every three years.
The Canadian study has long been the most pessimistic on the value of mammograms. It initially reported that after five years of screening, 666 cancers were found among women given mammograms plus breast exams versus 524 cancers among those given the exams alone.
After 25 years of follow-up, about 500 in each group died, suggesting mammograms were not saving lives. The similarity in the death rates suggests that the 142 "extra" cancers caught by mammograms represent overdiagnosis — tumors not destined to prove fatal, study leaders concluded.
The work was immediately criticized. The American College of Radiology and Society of Breast Imaging called it "an incredibly misleading analysis based on the deeply flawed and widely discredited" study. Mammograms typically find far more cancers than this study did, suggesting the quality was poor, the groups contend.
In a letter posted by the medical journal, Dr. Daniel Kopans, a radiologist at Harvard Medical School, described outdated machines and methods he saw in 1990, when he was one of the experts asked to review the quality of mammograms used in the study.
the fact that the quality was poor," he wrote. "To save money they used secondhand mammography machines" that gave poor images, failed to properly position breasts for imaging, and did not train radiologists on how to interpret the scans, he wrote.
"I can personally attest to
The study leader, Dr. Anthony Miller of the University of Toronto, said it was "completely untrue" that inferior equipment or methods were used.
an imperfect tool that lead to many false alarms, needless biopsies and treatment of many tumors that would never threaten a woman's life.
Still, the study highlights the fact that mammograms are
"Overdiagnosis is not an anomaly in the study from Canada. This has been compellingly demonstrated in research from the U.S. and Europe," said another study leader, Dr. Cornelia Baines of the University of Toronto.
Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, a professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice
in New Hampshire, spoke on the issue at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December.
"Screening is a choice, not a public health imperative. There are trade-offs here," he said.
"The people who stand to gain the most from screening are the people at greatest risk of the disease" — older women who are more likely to have breast cancer and those not too old that they are likely to die of something else, he said.
Death rates from breast
cancer have fallen mostly because of dramatic improvement in treatments, he and other doctors have said.
"The better we are at treating clinically evident disease, the less important it becomes to find it early," Welch said.
A big caveat: The Canadian study was on routine mammograms to screen healthy women. No one doubts the value of diagnostic mammograms — more detailed X-rays when a problem is suspected or after a lump has been found.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks need to loosen up
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Before the party on Mass Street, before Mario's Miracle and before the
banners, there was a saying the 2008 Kansas basketball team used. It remained unknown until the day before the Championship game.
Kansas' senior forward Darnell Jackson was asked about the team's chemistry and getting that far in the tournament.
"We just say 'let your nuts hang,' Jackson said to Rustin Dodd of the Daily Kansan. "Just let them hang. Just have fun because this is it for most of the guys, and we're just having fun with it."
The current Jayhawks aren't playing with that mentality.
Before we go there it's important to realize the line 'let your nuts hang' is both funny and true. Really, it makes no sense. None whatsoever. Yet everyone knows what it means. It's a figurative phrase used in a joking way to tell a team to play both free and tough.
It also provides some insight as to what that championship team was all about and shows a little of what this current team is missing. The nuts aren't yet hanging.
The 2008 team had fun, they played loose and they carried an attitude with them that would often overwhelm their opponents. The fact that their jerseys had "Kansas" on the front mattered to them. It meant their opponents were about to lose.
"They had a little bit of a 'we're better than you and we know it kind of vibe," Dodd said. "Their guards kind of had a swagger about them. A good arrogance about them. A productive arrogance."
In short, they let their nuts hang. This Kansas team is young. They're the tall, lanky 14-year-old kid that dominates at times, but will still trip over his feet that are a little too big for his body. The coordination isn't all there. But you can still see he's going to be a monster athlete soon.
In one way or another, what they need is to "let'em hang." Embrace the hilarity of the line and play with the confidence and freeing attitude the motto embraces.
It's similar to the "Risky Business" line, where Tom Cruise is worried about messing up his future. His friend tells him, "Every now and then say what the f*** What the f*** gives you freedom. Freedom gives you opportunity. Opportunity makes your future."
After Kansas beat Oklahoma in its conference opener, Bill Self said his team.had been playing handcuffed earlier in the season. Against Oklahoma, Self said the layhawks let go.
They did what Jackson said. They did what Tom Cruise was told. They played with the attitude and mentality that

KANSAS 62 - TCU 53
COMEBACK VICTORY
EVAN DUNBAR
sports@kansan.com
Up by nine with just over four minutes left to play in their home matchup against TCU, the Kansas women's basketball team couldn't help feeling a bit of deja vu. After all, they found themselves in the exact same situation when the two teams met earlier this season in Fort Worth. The Jayhawks (12-13, 5-8) ended up losing that game by two.
So it was no surprise when they visibly played their toughest basketball over the final minutes of their 60-52 win against the Horned Frogs (14-10, 5-7) on Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
Sparked by TCU sophomore guard Zahna Medley, TCU went on a 10-0 run midway through the first. Medley did it all for the Horned Frogs, draining a couple shots from behind the arc as well as converting an array of mid-range floaters. She finished the half with 13 points on 5-10 shooting.
"We were more positive about it [as opposed to last time], we were not going to let that happen," senior guard CeCe Harper said. "We were telling each other to have that killer instinct."
Initially, things didn't look promising for Kansas. For the second consecutive game, the jayhawks held their opponents scoreless in the game's opening four minutes. Unfortunately, for the second consecutive game, they were unable to capitalize as they still played much of the half from behind.
Additionally, coach Bonnie Henrickson said her team's offense was "abysmal" in the first half on their way to just 24 points. It only began to show signs of life in the waning minutes behind the strong play of sophomore guard Natalie Knight.
With just over two minutes remaining in the first, Knight sank a 3-pointer, came up with a steal on the opposite end and promptly took it back down for another three. It was the offensive spark that the Jayhawks were searching for all night as they headed into half down five.
"This was a game we needed to win," Knight said. "No matter how much we got down, we still needed to fight."
Kansas' second half play supported this sentiment; they scored the first 11 points of the half and didn't trail for the remainder of the game. Junior forward Chelsea Gardner was kept relatively quiet early, but made her presence felt in the second half. She played well on both ends of the court. finishing with 12 points and 15 rebounds for her tenth double-double of the season.
Kansas experienced more success guarding Medley in the second half as well. She was held to only 3-13 from the field after intermission as open looks were few and far between.
"I thought CeCe did a good job on Medley," Henrickson said. "Got in on her, stayed with her, didn't give her separation."
- Edited by Blair Sheade
"We had to win," she said.
"We have to get on a little run here."
TCU made things interesting late by pulling within a single possession with just over two minutes left. But the Jayhawks recorded a couple key stops and hit their free throws down the stretch to keep the game out of reach.
Currently seventh in the Big 12 Conference, Henrickson knows her team will need more performances like the one she got from them Wednesday if they want a shot at the postseason.

Jayhawks prepare for four-game series
BEN FELDERSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team will get the 2014 campaign underway Friday against Brigham Young University. The teams will play a fourgame series in Peoria, Ariz. Kansas is happy to go on the road to start off the season, especially due to the weather at home in Lawrence.
Junior Wes Benjamin will be the Jayhawks' likely starting pitcher for the season opener against the Cougars. Benjamin is a 6-foot-1 lefthander from St. Charles, Ill. He is going to be the Friday night starter for Kansas all season, and is crucial for Kansas' success.
"If we're going to make the NCAA tournament,
(Benjamin) is going to have to win us 10 games on Friday night," coach Ritch Price said. "That's his goal, and if he gets that done, our team will complete its' goals as well."
The Jayhawks were picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 this season and plan to use this weekend as a starting point to prove doubters wrong. Kansas is embracing the underdog role, as some players have already hung up that prediction in the locker-room.
Wes Benjamin is projected to be drafted between the third and seventh round in this year's upcoming draft.
"Being underdogs is fun," senior pitcher Jordan Piche' said. "And we proved last year
that we can beat the big guys." The Jayhawks made it all the way to the Big 12
"The mentality in the locker room is hungry. We deserved to be in the tournament last year."

Senior catcher
championship game last season and plan to have similar if not better success than last year.
"Our main goal is to make a regional (playoff)," said junior outfielder Michael Suiter. "That is a huge goal for not only myself, but the team
as well."
"Their Friday night starter is one of the best in the country," Price said. "He beat some really good teams like LSU, and we were fortunate enough to open against Nevada, who had a first-rounder and we beat him there."
BYU senior captain, Desmond Poulson will get the start against Kansas on Friday. Poulson is coming off of a tremendous junior season, posting a 7-2 record with a 3.24 ERA. Poulson is a big-game pitcher.
Price explained that the benefit of facing a team with an ace, is the abundance of scouts on hand. There were close to 100 scouts at the Nevada game, and there will be nearly as many in
Peoria. This is beneficial for Benjamin and the rest of the Kansas roster.
Kansas has been a historically strong starting team. They are 72-54-1 all-time in their season opener and 7-4 under Price. Price and the Jayhawks hope that success will carry over to Peoria. Following the series in Arizona, Kansas will travel to Port Charlotte, Florida to compete in the Snowbird Classic.
"The mentality in the locker room is hungry," senior captain Ka'iana Eldredge said. "We deserved to be in the tournament last year."

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I's a cool nickname and it fits us. We go out there and play hard. We do, however, have more than just two of us. I'm surrounded by players who play physically. We have a lot more people to add to that nickname."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What is Tark Black's season high for points in a game?
A: 17 vs. Georgetown
ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW
Tarik Black shows improvement, leadership
Although senior Tarkt Black averages 4.2 points and three rebounds per game this season, those numbers do not reflect on how big of an asset he's for the layhawks in the past three games.
Joel Embiid's scoring average has dropped to 7.3 points per game during this three-game stretch. However, the Jayhawks know that they can rely on their bench if an impact player is having an off night. That is the beauty of a Bill Self-led basketball team.
By Farzin Vousoughian sports@kansan.com
Black, a transfer from Memphis, is making his presence known. Against Baylor, West Virginia and Kansas State, Black averaged 8.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. His aggressiveness against West Virginia even led him to sink his first free throw since connecting on seven of them on Dec. 21 against Georgetown
After playing for 20 minutes in only two games earlier this season, Black has seen more action in games,
playing more than 20 minutes in each of the Jayhawks' previous three contests.
But it's not just his activity on the hardwood floor that helps the Jayhawks.
Despite being a transfer, Black's leadership comes off as if he's been at Kansas for four years. He is vocal on the floor and on the bench, and he's been an educator to many of the young players on the team.
freshmen Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden and referred to that match as "personal" because it's an in-state rival. It's a rare comment you hear from transfer seniors, and the Jayhawks own the gift of having a mature and astute senior in Black, even if he's only at Kansas for one season.
After having little to no impact coming off the bench for most
THE BREW
of the season, he's improved over the last three games. His recent performance could not have come at a better time.
With seven games left in the regular season, college basketball teams are inching closer to the postseason, where the room for error becomes smaller. For Kansas, it can rely on Black when in need of a player to come off the bench to help fill a void
or keep a hot run going.
Self has praised Black for leadership in practice, and fans are finally starting to see that translate into games.
Coming off a bitter overtime loss to in-state rival Kansas State, Black will motivate his teammates and challenge
them to rebound this Saturday when the Jayhawks will host TCU.
By the time Kansas prepares for the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, Black will continue to come off the bench, and continue to earn minutes in relieving Embiid to give Kansas a lift in March Madness.

Tournament brings new opponents for Jayhawks
AMIE JUST

sports@kansan.com
This weekend the Kansas Jayhawks head to Charleston, S.C., to participate in the College of Charleston Classic. Kansas faces five different opponents over the course of the tournament.
Kansas will play Fordham University in the first game of the tournament. Fordham went to the University of Central
Florida Invitational back on Feb. 7, but the matchup between the Jayhawks and Fordham was canceled due to weather. Fordham went 2-1 in that tournament, defeating Chattanooga and LIU Brooklyn while falling to the host team UCF. Senior catcher Gabby Luety and junior pitcher Michele Daubman were named Atlantic 10 Conference player and pitcher of the week, respectively.
Rounding out the doubleheader for Kansas, the Jayhawks will take on Ole Miss. The Ole Miss team is coming off of a tournament hosted by Florida Gulf Coast. Its record for the season is 2-3. Two of its losses came in dramatic fashion, as the team lost to Western Kentucky and Florida Gulf Coast 3-2 in both games.
The Jayhawks will face Western Carolina in the tournament, which is West
Carolina's first tournament of the season. Last season, the Catamounts went 20-36. One of their postseason highlights was beating heavily favored College of Charleston in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament. Western Carolina sophomore first baseman Taylor Sigmon was named to the Southern Conference preseason second team. She led the team in home runs, RBIs and doubles last
season.
The fourth game will be against the tournament host, College of Charleston. The Cougars are 0-2 on the season, despite having a 37-20 record last year. They return eight starters to this year's Cougar squad.
The last team on the Jayhawks schedule for the weekend is DePaul University. The team is 3-2 on the season, coming off a tournament in Miami on
Feb. 7. Senior pitcher Kirsten Verdun was named Big East Conference Pitcher of the Week this past week. Verdun posted a 0.64 ERA in her three starts while striking out 28 batters in 22 innings.
Over the past three seasons, Kansas hasn't played any of these five teams, but is ready to take on the competition in South Carolina.

No.70 Kansas hopes to continue winning season

This week, the tennis team will look to continue its undefeated record when they travel to Texas to take on the Houston Cougars. Things are coming together for the Jayhawks, who are off to a perfect 5-0 record and broke into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's top-75 team rankings at No. 70 this week.
The Cougars come into Friday's match undefeated and are tied for the No. 66 spot in the ITA rankings. The two squads have already met once this season when Houston hosted a tournament during the fall slate. In that, meeting, Kansas fell to the Cougars, suffering four singles losses. However, Kansas did win two out of three doubles matches.
Houston has two extremely
strong singles players.
Freshman Despoina Vogasari
and sophomore Maria
Cardenas are both undefeated
"We talk about pressure being a privilege. If you have pressure, that means you are doing things that are important."
TODD CHAPMAN
Coach
so far this season. The Jayhawks, who have snatched the doubles point in every single one of their matches so far, will need to have another strong doubles performance to have a chance at winning.
"I think our girls really enjoy playing doubles and we have good chemistry in our three doubles teams," first-year coach Todd Chapman said. "We have
actually worked on doubles less than I would like so far this spring in practice, so I have been very pleased with our results."
With success comes expectations and Chapman said the girls are handling the pressure of being a ranked team very well. Chapman also stresses that having high expectations from others means that you are doing things right.
"We talk about pressure being a privilege," Chapman said. "If you have pressure, that means you are doing things that are important."
The Jayhawks will finish the weekend back in Lawrence against the UT-Arlington Mavericks who are currently 3-2. Matches begin at noon on Sunday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

VERNON FROM PAGE 1B
Kansas teams of the past were known for. And that attitude has shown moments of bursting out for the Jayhawks on a regular basis, but they aren't there yet.
That doesn't mean they won't get there. In fact, they probably will. But in Kansas' last two losses, on the road to Texas and at Kansas State, even in its win at home against West Virginia, the Jayhawks didn't appear to let go. They haven't been playing free lately, and it's cost them.
The smiles and laughter have disappeared. The belief that, because they're wearing a Kansas jersey, they're going to beat you has diminished. In the long run, it most likely won't matter, but for this stretch in February, it appears the nuts aren't yet hanging.
By the end of the season, though, by March, these jayhawks will most likely be playing free. They'll be playing loose. And they'll be "letting them hang" Right now, however, this team could use a little more of what the 2008 team prided itself on.

KANSAS VS. TCU FEB.15, 3 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE
BASKETBALL GAMEDAY
The Jayhawks prepare to host the Horned Frogs
TCU
HORNED FROGS
Coming off a terrible game against K-State, watch for Selden to have a redemption game against TCU. Selden's averaging 10 points per game, but only scored two against K-State. Watch for Selden to become more aggressive by driving the ball more and getting to the free-throw line more. TCU will try to double team Wiggins, which will leave Selden open, and he needs to hit his open shots.
AT A GLANCE
TCU hasn't won a Big 12 conference game yet in the 2013-14 season, and already encountered a 22-point loss in Fort Worth this season. History shows that TCU doesn't play well in Allen Fieldhouse. Last season, after losing in Fort Worth, the Jayhawks defeated the Horned Frogs 74-48. This season, the Jayhawks can't play soft and the game is already in the bag against TCU.

Embiid has lingering back and knee injuries and Bill Self told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that he was uncertain of Embiid's playing status. Self told Goodman that he knew Embiid was going to take some time off, but doesn't know how long he'll be out for.

Kansas can shoot 50 percent or better. The Jayhawks are 14-1 when shooting 50 percent or better, and Kansas is coming off a 41 shooting percentage game against K-State. If Embid doesn't play, Kansas will have to rely on its shooting and fast break points, which might lower the team's shooting percentage. TCU is giving up 69 points per game, and Kansas is scoring 79 points per game.

Tharpe played the best five minutes this season at the end of regulation against K-State. He found open shooters, hitch clutch shots and defended well. Up until the last five minutes, Tharpe was playing the opposite. He couldn't guard K-State's leading scorer Marcus Foster and forced turnovers. Tharpe won't face anyone like Foster on TCU, but needs to step up his defense pressure. On offense, Tharpe has to continue to distribute the ball and record double-digit assist games for Kansas because

Wayne Selden, Jr., guard
The turnaround for Selden will be well under watch. Selden's season-low two points didn't help the offense, and he didn't make it to the free throw line once. His game is using physical play to draw contact inside the paint. Selden is starting to become too comfortable with his perimeter game, and needs to get back to his aggressive ways. Look to Selden to have a bounce back game against TCU.

Andrew Wiggins, guard
The Jayhawks have relied on Andrew Wiggins on both sides of the ball. Wiggins guards the opponent's best scorer and takes the game-tying shot, even though he air-bailed the game tying shot against K-State on Monday. The free-throw line was a struggle for Wiggins against K-State, where he shot 8-15. He has six straight double-digit shooting attempt games, and scored 27 points on Jan. 25 against TCU.

Ellis led the team with shot attempts (13) and made free throws (9). Fans of the Jayhawks would love to see Ellis continue his offensive dominance, but he was forced to take a lot more shots than usual with Joel Embid on the bench for majority of the game. After the game, K-State head coach Bruce Beuer said that Perry Ellis is the best

This might be a toss up if Embid even plays against TCU.

The 6-10 freshman only played 18 minutes against the Jayhawks in Fort Worth due to foul trouble. The Horned Frogs don't have much size or depth, so Shepherd will need to stay on the floor to clog up the paint. This would be a little easier if Embiid sits out.

Ennis' 35-footer keeps No.1 Syracuse undefeated

PITTSBURGH — Tyler Ennis made a 35-footer at the buzzer to help No. 1 Syracuse remain unbeaten with a 58-56 win over No. 25 Pitt on Wednesday night.
Syracuse's Tyler Ennis (11) shoots a 3-pointer between Pittsburgh's Cameron Wright (3) and Josh Newkirk, left, in the final second of an NCAA college basketball game Wednesday in Pittsburgh. The shot went in and Syracuse won 58-56.
Wednesday Syracuse (24-0, 11-0 ACC) remained one of two undefeated teams in Division I along with Wichita State.
Trailing by one with 4.4 seconds left, Ennis caught the inbounds pass and dribble up the court before hitting the shot over two defenders.
Talib Zanna, who led Pitt (20-5, 8-4) with 16 points and 14 rebounds, had given Pitt a 56-55 lead with 4.4 seconds remaining after he hit two free throws.
It was Pitt's first loss at home to a top-five team in the 12-year history of the Petersen Events Center, their oncampus arena. The Panthers (20-5, 8-4) had been 9-0 against top-five teams and 13-1 against teams ranked in the top 10.
C. J. Fair led Syracuse with 14 points.
Pitt had a 54-46 lead with less than two minutes remaining, but Fair made a 3-pointer with 1:40 to go. He then hit a jumper to make it 54-53 with 51 seconds left. After Pitt missed on the other end, Ennis made two free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Orange the lead.
Pitt led 27-24 at halftime and built its lead to nine in the early stages of the second half
Syracuse stormed back with a 17-8 run and tied the score on a Trevor Cooney 3-pointer with 6:53 to go, but Pitt regained control after Zanna converted a three-point play and freshman Jamel Artis sank two free throws for a 50-45 lead.
when Lamar Patterson made a 3-pointer to make it 37-28 with 15 minutes remaining.
But it was all Syracuse after that. Pitt's only points in the final 1:59 came from Zanna's two free throws, and the Panthers were outscored 10-3 in the final 1:59.
Syracuse had to play without backup center Baye Moussa Keita, who sat out with a sprained knee. That forced sophomore forward Jerami Grant into duty as the backup center behind Rakeem Christmas.
Pitt had injury issues of its own. Senior forward and leading scorer Lamar Patterson had the thumb on his right hand wrapped for a second consecutive game. After going 1 for 9 in his previous outing against Virginia Tech, Patterson scored 13 points.
Pitt led by as many as seven in the first half. A Patterson 3-pointer with 4:30 to go before halftime capped a 10-3 Pitt run and gave the Panthers a 24-17 lead. It was the third 3-pointer of the half for the Panthers, who also had their way on the offensive glass against Syracuse.
The Panthers outrebounded Syracuse, 18-11, in the first
half and scored seven second-
chance points from nine
offensive rebounds.
Syracuse was able to keep it close and got some unlikely
scoring from sophomore guard Michael Gbinije, who led the Orange with seven points. Gbinije, who entered the game averaging only 3.3

WICHITA — All those sages who claim there are valuable lessons to be learned from a loss have never met Ron Baker, the mop-haired sophomore guard for No. 4 Wichita State.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
You see, the Shockers are riding a perfect start to the season, pushing their record to 26-0 with a 78-67 victory over Southern Illinois on Tuesday night. But people seem to forget that the Fabulous Baker Boy was actually hurt during much of their Final Four run a year ago.
So that 30-9 record that Wichita State had last season? Six of those defeats came with Baker on the bench, trying desperately to recover from a stress fracture in his foot.
"I didn't realize that until you mentioned it," he said. "I wouldn't say it's because I'm on the floor, though. I think the teammates I'm around kind of help put that record together."
Nevertheless, Baker has had a big part in it. He returned from his injury in time for the Missouri Valley tournament, where the Shockers lost to Creighton in the title game, and was a big reason why they advanced to the Final Four, losing to eventual champion Louisville.
His only other loss came in an early visit to Tennessee last year.
This season, Baker is the

Being the star is nothing new, though. Neither is winning.
Baker averaged more than 20 points as a senior for tiny Scott City (Kan.) High School, leading the Beavers to a 25-1 record. The three-sport star — he was a standout quarterback and accomplished baseball player — poured in 26 points in the Class 3A championship, including the buzzer-beating putback that gave Scott City the title. His knack for seizing the moment has continued at Wichita State.
The Shockers were struggling along against the Salukis until Baker heated up Tuesday night. He wound up hitting three 3-pointers in the second half, part of his game-high 19 points, lifting Wichita State to a tougher-than-expected victory that kept their perfect record intact.

drift toward shooters — you can tell, because we don't have a lot on our team," Salukis coach Barry Hinson joked. "And you can see he's having fun."
He wasn't having a whole lot of fun midway through the game, when Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall got into his face on the sideline. The sophomore was passing up open looks and instead trying to make the remarkable play, and Marshall wasn't very happy.
Their one-sided conversation played out within earshot of hundreds of fans seated courtside.
1 told Ron that for whatever reason, I think he's going at least one dribble too far at times," Marshall said. "He's trying to make a spectacular play or a spectacular pass, but he's open off ball screens. Shoot the basketball! That's what you do. You're not Magic Johnson, not yet. Just shoot the ball instead of trying to make these home-run plays"
Baker clearly listened to his advice, popping off a series of open jumpers with an effortless shooting touch. By the time he hit his final 3 in the closing minutes, the game was well in hand.
It wasn't easy, not by a long shot, but it kept the Shockers undefeated. It also kept Baker's near-perfect career just as impressive as it was at the beginning of the night.
At this point, you have to learn from winning, which is tough for a lot of teams." Baker said. "For us, we haven't had a chance to learn from losing. We don't want to, either."

Bill passes House, concerns LGBT community
ASSOCIATED PRESS
I will not allow anyone to take away my property.
Rep. Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, and the Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives discusses the bill at the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka, Senate President Susan Wagle said the bill goes beyond protecting religious freedom.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, left, a Lawrence Democrat, has upset some gay-right advocates who believe his opposition to a gay marriage bill has been lukewarm.
House Bill 2453 passed the Kansas House of Representatives on Feb.12 with a majority vote of 72-49.
The LGBT community, as well as other people in the state of Kansas, feel that the wording is too broad and may allow legalized discrimination.
QUICK HITS
President of the Senate Susan Wagle issued a statement on Feb. 13 saying that she doesn't believe the bill will pass the senate in its current form.
TOM DEHART news@kansan.com
House Bill 2453, a bill that would allow legal protection for individuals who may wish to deny a service to others based on their religious beliefs regarding marriage, passed the state House legislation on Feb. 12 and was referred to the state Senate judiciary committee on Feb. 13. The bill has caused a rise in concern from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in respect to what it means regarding same-sex marriage.
Despite its passing the House with a 72-49 vote, a number of people from Lawrence, the state of Kansas and other parts of the United States have spoken out against the bill. A Facebook page opposing the bill has obtained over 50,000 supporters since it was created on Feb.11. The President of the state Senate, Susan Wagle, also released a statement regarding its unlikely of passing the state Senate.
The issue for many people, such as the LGBT community, is the concern that this bill would legalize discrimination against citizens who identify as a sexual or gender minority.
"They will say this is only about marriage, but the way that the bill is worded was so broad that it could be anywhere from the caterer doesn't want to do this, to now the police don't want anything to do with me," said Christine Noriega, a sophomore from Union City, N.J., who serves as the director of educational outreach for the University's Queers and Allies, and who also identifies as a lesbian
The bill has been perceived by opponents as a legislative safeguard against a possible future overturn of the same-sex
marriage ban in Kansas. Clay Barker, the executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, said in an email that he believes the motivation for the bill was two lawsuits that took place in New Mexico and Oregon, in which a photographer and a baker refused to provide services to a same-sex couple.
Rep. Emily Perry, D-Mission, said she thinks that the act is only discriminatory.
"Personally, it is the way the bill is worded. It's pretty vague and to me it is very broad," Perry said. "I think the proponents are arguing that it preserves their religious beliefs in that they don't have to participate in same-sex marriages. However, under current law they don't have to participate in same-sex marriages. We passed the religious freedom bill last session and sexual orientation is not a protected class under the anti-discrimination laws in Kansas."
Rep. Charles Macheers, R-Shawnee, stated his stance on the bill in a statement released online and said the bill does not allow discrimination based on any person's sexual orientation or identity, and grants rights that are already in effect because of Title VII of the federal civil rights act.
"The bill is tightly drafted to advance a simple principle that should unite all of us as Kansans." Macheers then stated the principle of the bill: "The state should never force anyone to perform an action he or she believes to be wrong as a matter of sincerely held religious belief, unless it has good reason, not merely to have the action performed, but to insist that even those who find it wrong perform it."

Funding cuts hinder University research
MCKENNA HARFORD
news@kansan.com
Due to an $11.5 million decline in federal funding, officials are worried for the longterm future of federally funded research at the University of Kansas. The trend of decline, partially due to the government sequester, threatens research because federal funds account for 86.6 percent of the University's total research funds.
Steve Warren, president of the KU Center for Research, believes that the cuts will affect students as well as faculty.
"I fear that we will have less students coming into the sciences and research areas, which will hurt our success as a society in the long run,"Warren said.
Legislation that restores the majority of the cuts made in the sequester only focuses on the short-term, which means that the source of future funding is unclear.
"The fact that the money is decreasing is in some ways
surprising because research funding has historically been something that both Republicans and Democrats have supported," Warren said. "It's kind of gotten caught up in the politics that we all experience now days."
a $3 million increase in the appropriation of federal research funds, there seems to be fewer government funds devoted to university research. This means that faculty must be more competitive to get the funds needed for their research projects.

and Graduate Studies, said that while the legislation is a welcome starting point, more needs to be done to correct the consequences of the sequester.
"The reality is if you look at what the federal government has been doing in funding for research it was already starting to decline before the sequester, so the sequester has just added to that," Boatrigh said.
Although there has been
in an industry where there, is in essence, declining support, it means that first of all really good, important things in the case of research don't happen." Warren said. "Some research is still happening, but there's less of it."
In order to battle the decline, the University works to make funds a top priority for legislators by showing the impact the research can have.
"We work to make ourselves more efficient and more effective so that we can operate better with less money," Warren said.
Beyond educating legislators, the University deals with the decline by learning how to adjust.
Because research universities conduct the majority of basic research, it is important that the government continue funding it to keep the country competitive.
"I have the concern about in a highly competitive world, where the U.S. has usually been the leader in breakthrough research, that if we are supporting it less then we can lose the position that we've
"There are several arguments we try to make. One is just that this kind of investment helps people, but it also has an effect on the economy that is positive and it helps make us more competitive with other countries." Boatright said.

Sexual assault training to be improved
Thursday, Feb. 20
The current program is an online training on sexual harassment and sexual assault coordinated by the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.
EMILY DONOVAN news@kansan.com
The University of Kansas' sexual assault training program may be revised for next year.
The Title IX Roundtable sexual assault training subcommittee is reviewing programs at other universities and evaluating what works well. These students and campus administrators are working together to design an effective program to make students recognize and discourage sexual assault.
"KU is really taking a leadership role," said Jane McQueen, executive director of the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. "We are seeking input from students — a lot of colleges don't do that. We want to hear from our students."
A big problem is that online training isn't engaging because students can click through videos without interacting with the information, said Emma Halling, co-chair of the Title IX Roundtable and chair of the training subcommittee.
"One in five women will be sexually assaulted before she graduates — which is a staggering number," Halling said. "If you go into class in one of the big Budig classrooms, that means that easily 200 women sitting there in that class with you have been sexually assaulted."
Halling, a senior from Hays, said following up the online component with in-person training would help students better understand how sexual assault affects them.
Students need to understand that sexual assault affects them and their peers personally, said Kathy Rose-Mockry. As executive director of the Emily Taylor Center, Rose-Mockry helps offer support and services for victims.
Victims can get class schedules rearranged, have an escort to class or have housing arrangements changed if needed. More information about these resources can be found at emilytaylorcenter. ku.edu/resources.
"I think we can do more to engage students on these issues," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, executive director of the Emily Taylor Center. "To expand the training from a 'this is what the requirements are' focus to encompass a broader understanding of sexual assault on campus."
Halling said the subcommittee hopes to have a finalized curriculum proposal in April so the IOA can consider changes to be implement for fall 2014.
hawks, we all have a responsibility to each other to make this a safe campus," McQueeny said.
Anyone with sexual assault training suggestions can contact Halling by emailing sbvp@ku.edu. The Title IX Roundtable is open to any participants.
"We absolutely want students to feel like they are shaping this — because they are," Halling said. "It's mostly students on the committee making it and we don't want to create something for students to take that they don't relate to in any way."

POLITICS Democrats push for minimum wage increase
WASHINGTON House Democrats are determined to cast an election-year spotlight on Republican opposition to raising the minimum wage and overhauling immigration laws.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said Democrats will push the wage issue when Congress returns from its break Feb. 24. Forcing a vote on a comprehensive overhaul of immigration laws could occur in a few months.
To try to accomplish that in the GOP-controlled House, Democrats are planning to rely on an infrequently used, rarely successful tactic known as a "discharge petition."
it requires the minority party — in this case, Democrats, who are unable to dictate the House agenda — to persuade some two dozen Republicans to defy their leadership, join Democrats and force a vote on setting the federal minimum wage at $10.10 an hour.
It requires the minority party
Democratic leaders argue that a majority of Americans favor both steps, which are priorities for President Barack Obama, and say the House GOP is the obstacle.

An opinion column that ran on page four of Thursday's edition, "Self-discrimination leads to isolation," incorrectly referred to a minority group, as the result of an editing error.

Prisoners' use of smuggled cellphones on the rise
100%
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This undated photo mprovided by the Florida Department of Corrections shows a cellphone and cigarettes that were found inside a camouflage package, January 25, 2014, near an undisclosed Florida state prison.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — They're hidden in babies' diapers, ramen noodle soup packages, footballs, soda cans and even body cavities.
Not drugs or weapons, but cellphones. They're becoming a growing problem in prisons across the country as they are used to make threats, plan escapes and for inmates to continue to make money from illegal activity even while behind bars.
When two murderers serving life sentences escaped from Florida Panhandle prison last fall, a search of their cells turned up a cellphone used to help plan the getaway, drawing attention to the burgeoning problem. It was just one of 4,200 cellphones confiscated by prison officials last year, or 11 per day.
And while prison officials are trying their best to keep cellphones out, it's not such an easy task. Jamming cellphone signals is prohibited by federal law, and it costs more than $1 million each for authorized towers that control what cellphone calls can come in and out of prisons. Some prisons even have to police their own corrections officers who sometimes help inmates receive contraband.
In Texas, a death row inmate made several calls with a cellphone to state Sen. John Whitmire, who chairs the Criminal Justice Committee. Whitmire didn't believe it when he started receiving calls from death row inmate Richard Tabler.
"He held his phone out, I guess outside his cell and there was a very distinct prison noise. He said, 'Did you hear that?' and I said, 'Yup.
That's a prison,' " Whitmire said. "I said, 'How'd you get that phone?' He said, 'I paid $2,100 for it."
The calls continued, and Whitmire had the phone investigated. Tabler's mother was paying the bill and collecting payments from the other prisoners' families. She was arrested for her part in the prison cellphone scheme. Tabler wasn't happy about that and made another call to Whitmire. "He said he was going to have me killed," Whitmire said.
"You may get a prepackaged, sealed ramen noodle soup — and it's completely sealed — the weight seems to be right, but when you open it, there's a cellphone inside," said Timothy Cannon, Florida's deputy corrections secretary.
As corrections departments keep looking for new ways to stop cellphone smuggling, prisoners are finding creative,
new ways to get them in.
and drugs in babies' diapers" during visitations, Cannon said. "If they think you never search an infant child, that will be the next place they go to try to get it in."
Phones have been hidden in the hollowed out centers of large stacks of legal documents. One corrections officer found two liter soda bottles that were used as floats outside a prison. When he pulled them out of a pond, bags containing more than a dozen cellphones each were found tied to them.
"We've found cellphone"
"We have found cellphones in the private area of visitors — I'm talking females and males," said Christopher Epps, head of the Mississippi prison system and president of the American Corrections Association. He said it's not unusual to find three phones in a body cavity.
States are looking for new ways to find cellphones or to prevent their use. Epps said that includes recently installed netting held up by
50-foot poles to keep people from throwing bags over prison fences for prisoners to retrieve.
Federal law prohibits jamming cellphone signals, but Texas, Maryland, California and Mississippi installed towers at some prisons that control what cellphone traffic is allowed. Phone signals reach the tower, but only authorized numbers are then passed through.
It's not something Florida is considering because of the hefty price tag. Each system costs about $1.5 million, and with 49 major prisons, the state doesn't have the money to cover them all.

enjoyed of being the source of breakthroughs." Warren said.
Other forms of funding include industry funding and private funding, but these funds go to applied research, which is in-depth studying of discoveries made in basic research. The University also works to increase these funds and has seen a raise in industry funding from $8.4 million to $13.3 million.
Warren feels that the work being done to increase funding is a good sign for the future
"I think we can turn this around, I'm confident of that," Warren said.

Kev. Dwight Welch, a pastor at Ecumenical Campus Ministries who identifies as gay, said that the bill goes against the values that he believes Christianity is founded upon and raises, the question whether or not people really believe that everybody is made in the image of God.
BILL FROM PAGE 1
"There is a 1970s poster I remember seeing and it said, 'God doesn't make junk.' So when we have legislation that kind of consigns people on that level — and that's whether you're poor, or you're faced with disability, or whatever the criteria is, it feels like you're trying to nullify that
— or failing to recognize the idea of people being made in the image of God."

Remember the alamo
Proper sidewalk navigation improves traffic flow
Sidewalk etiquette is a constant struggle for all of us, and my goal is to make it a problem of the past. It is debatably the root of all evil (just kidding, but it sucks). Too often people walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk, run into each other, or inconsiderately walk in groups. This slows down life for everybody. That's really annoying — especially when I'm trying to avoid frostbite or get to somewhere I need to be.
Let me explain where my deep-seeded hatred for this comes from. I worked for a few months in a large and busy buffet. At peak hours, I had to navigate through the kind of crowds you see at a concert while under
pressure to transport all of these people's dishes across the restaurant as quickly as possible. This instilled my disdain for inefficient foot traffic. It's really not a critical issue, but it is a hefty pet peeve for a lot of people. I want to share a few tips that will help everything flow smoothly while we're trying to navigate through campus.
The biggest part of sidewall etiquette is walking on the correct side. This is pretty simple to remember: The right side is the right side. Don't forget that this applies to staircases as well. Going against the flow is problematic for everyone.
By Dalton Boehm
opinion@kansan.com
While you're walking on the proper side, you can also make an effort to not
stop unexpectedly. It's like not using a turn signal: a cardinal sin. If you're going to stop, slow down or dart out to the side where you won't interrupt anyone. As is the case with any accidental bumping, apologize no matter whose fault it is. It's just common courtesy.
Another crucial aspect is using your body language to direct oncoming people. If you realize that a game of sidewalk chicken is happening, angle your limbs
towards the right and start moving that way. They will pick up on your cue and correct their trajectory, allowing for smooth travel all around. Don't wait for them to move, because they won't. Have you ever been sitting with a group of people and collectively made the decision to leave, but nobody does because each person is waiting for someone else? It's the same scenario. Don't play sidewalk chicken. Be the catalyst for change. Move to the side.
Also, consider your physical presence when in a group. Even if it's just one other person, you will likely be walking next to each other and occupying twice the space. If it's a narrow pathway
(as is the case when snow limits the walking area), then position yourself so that you can be easily passed. If it's not a simple thing to do, just be aware of the people walking behind you so that you can allow room for someone to pass if they're walking at a faster pace. When it's negative whatever outside, I don't want to be stuck behind you.
Let's act like we're civilized. It requires very little individually to keep things organized and fluid, but goes a long way in not annoying others.

ENVIRONMENT
Connect with nature to increase sense of happiness, energy levels
What if I told you that being outside could make you a better, happier person? If you are a debater,you might ask me to define the terms "better" and "happier."If you are a scientist,you might ask how I can measure being better or happier. If you are an environmentalist,you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you're curious,you will keep reading.
Some of the happiest moments in my life happened outside. Lying in my Grandma's backyard reading "Junie B. Jones," hiding from the neighborhood boys in my fort and enjoying my high school graduation party. Recently, the most humbling experience of my life occurred outdoors: trekking up an Indian mountain to behold a world largely untainted by man.
By Gabrielle Murnan opinion@kansan.com
Since then, I've tried to understand the feeling I had when I stood breathless on that mountain in India. After months of wondering about that feeling, out of nowhere, I experienced it again. I was sitting near the Kansas River, watching the ripples in the water, feeling the wind on my shoulders and lazing in the sun when I
felt it. All of a sudden I was blissfully happy. More than that, I felt a connection with something greater than myself while at the same time I felt a connection within myself.
Scientifically, there is a perfectly logical answer to why I experienced such joy. Numerous studies show that people who regularly experience nature report greater happiness. Happiness increases well-being, therefore, being outside causes us to feel better. Additionally, research indicates that nature increases energy and vitality levels, which in turn increases our ability to ward off illness. The reason I felt so alive while standing on the mountain and laying beside the river was because my brain was reacting to my surroundings.
Now I'm going to step away from the scientific and propose an alternate reason for my euphoric feelings: connection with nature. Individuals who have strong
social bonds are said to be happier, healthier people. But couldn't we apply that same concept to a person with a strong bond with the environment? Whether we are in a situation of love for others or for nature, we feel a sense of connectivity, desire to give and a need to protect. When we love our environment, when we understand that we are a part of it, we can experience feelings of personal happiness. And even more importantly, we can banish the feelings of dominance over nature that our society accepts, and let in a new norm of mutuality.
If you're still reading at this point and haven't abandoned my hippie-dippie writing, I suggest you find your spot in nature. I found mine on a mountain in India and by a river in Lawrence. Your spot can be anywhere. You will know you've found it when you sit down and the only thing that matters is that moment, that feeling of deep happiness for your small place in this big world.

Day having a quiet evening out at a fancy restaurant, many instead chose to spend it at a benefit concert featuring local musicians and comedy acts.

The Bottleneck, located at 737 New Hampshire St., hosted "The Townie Supper Club Presents: Heart On for You" to raise money for the Ballard Center, a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide an affordable early education program and assistance for families and individuals in need. Those attending the event were encouraged to donate toiletries at the door to be entered for a chance to win prizes.
Mark Hennessey of the band Godzillionaire, in an interview for KJHK, described the theme of the show as "love shaped, heart break songs for the evening." That theme
shined through as the audience was treated to a variety of local bands with their takes on the various moods of love.
These performers included recently formed group The Telephone Line, stand-up comedian Zach White, hardrock group Godzillionaire, husband and wife duo Heather Lofflin and Andy Mortin and local band Olassa.
While all of the acts kept the excitement pumping, the highlight of the night had to be Godzillionaire, who decided to strip back their sound for one night only and go by the name "Godchillionaire."
ticularly for Valentine's Day, $ ^{n} $ Hennessey said during the interview.
"The idea was to get a bunch of rock bands together and play female-fronted pop par-
Initially I was skeptical about the idea but they made me a believer with their performance. Their set featured wonderful renditions of modern pop acts, as well as an original track. Standout songs from their set included their covers of Lorde's "Tennis Court," and Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans," both of which were made to sound much darker than their original counterparts.

The relaxed nature of the performances was a nice change of pace from the intensity that rock shows usually produce. The bands took a night off from taking themselves too seriously and spent time connecting with the audience, something that most local bands could really learn about.

'12 Years a Slave' named best picture at UK Awards
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — The force of "Gravity" was strong at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, but it was unflinching drama "12 Years a Slave" that took the top prize.
Steve McQueen's visceral, violent story of a free black man kidnapped into servitude in the 19th-century U.S. South was named best picture. Its star, Chiwetel Ejiofor, took the male acting trophy.
Ejiofor thanked McQueen, a visual artist who turned to filmmaking with "Hunger" and "Shame," for bringing the story to the screen.
Holding the trophy, the British actor told McQueen: "This is yours. I'm going to keep it — that's the kind of guy I am — but it's yours."
McQueen reminded the ceremony's black-tie audience
The prizes, coming two weeks before Hollywood's Academy Awards, are watched as an indicator of likely Oscar success.
It was a good night for lost-in-space thriller "Gravity," which won six prizes, including best director for Alfonso Cuaron.
The 3-D special effects extravaganza also took the awards for sound, music, cinematography and visual effects. And despite its mixed parentage — made in Britain by a Mexican director and starring American actors — it was named best British film.
"There are 21 million people in slavery as we sit here," he said. "I just hope 150 years from now our ambivalence will not allow another filmmaker to make this film."
The best-actress prize went to Cate Blanchet for her turn as a socialite on the slide in "Blue Jasmine." She dedicated the award to her friend and fellow actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died this month, calling him "a monumental presence who is now sadly an absence."
Con-artist caper "American Hustle" charmed its way to three prizes, including original screenplay and supporting actress for Jennifer Lawrence. Its spectacular "70s stylings took the hair and makeup award.
"Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard. I hope you're proud." Blanchté said.
that, in some parts of the world, slavery is not a thing of the past.

MOVIE REVIEW
'Jayhawkers' depicts mix of sport, suffering, jazz
The opening scenes of any indie film, especially one produced in the Midwest, are typically a time of uncertainty for an audience. Questions arise: Are these scenes telling of rest of the film's ambiance? I've never heard of any of these actors, so is this movie credible at all? Is this thing even worth finishing? As "Jayhawkers" opens with some obviously artificial dialogue and a low-budget feel, these fears begin to twist in your stomach. It's tempting to write off the film at this point — about 10 minutes in
but as the film's aura takes shape, it slowly turns from a good film into a great film, then into a mesmerizing piece of Kansan art.
It all opens with a young Phog Allen (Nathan Peterson) speaking to Coach James Naismith (Mike Rapport) after playing in the 1907 Kansas vs. Missouri game. Naismith tells Allen that "basketball cannot be coached." It's a claim that proves to be indirectly prophetic, but never proven, later in the film. We then see Allen (now played by Kip Niven) in 1954, pining in several ways after an unnamed freak-athlete, high-school recruit with more than 100 collegiate offers. Our first glimpse of Wilt Chamberlain isn't really a glimpse at all; it's instead a shot of Allen's shocked face as he watches the kid play for the first time. At last, enter Chamberlain (Justin Wesley), towering above an adoring Kansas crowd as he steps off the plane in Lawrence for the first time
As he settles in, however, he begins to realize Allen's promise of a racism-free environment are simply not true. He's heckled in several Lawrence restaurants and venues, but eventually begins to fight back against the segregation little by little. Despite his efforts, he still hurt and teeters on

the brink of leaving Lawrence in search of a more accepting collegiate environment.
At the beginning of the 1956 season, Allen is forced into retirement by the Univirity's chancellor and Chamberlain is then thrust into the strict "X's and O's" world of new-coach Dick Harp. Despite ultimately achieving All-American status under his leadership, Chamberlain's relationship with Harp never evolves past near-tumultuous. The film concludes with a unique depiction of the 1956 NCAA Championship game against North Carolina and Chamberlain's retirement from collegiate ball after just two seasons.
Throughout the film's journey, from a brow-pincher with a low-budget feel to a film with audacious, subtly brilliant film technique, stands one vital constant: jazz. It's played throughout the entire film, serving as a control group that cuts through Chamberlain's ups and downs.
Jazz is the blood that courses through the veins of the film. It embodies Chamberlain's intrinsic, nonchalant poise, which carries him through all the hardships Lawrence's segregation throws at him. Jazz illustrates the spontaneity and breezy elegance of the game on the court. Most importantly, however, jazz serves as a release. It's a coping mechanism for America's oppressed black population to pour its distress into, and basketball is Chamberlain's jazz.
From its jazzily nuanced lungs, Kevin Willmott's film breathes style. It dances
with a dashing, noir-esque sophistication scarcely seen in Hollywood. Also, the depiction of the actual gameplay is completely different from that of any other sports movie. Instead of trying to force a pragmatic basketball game down our throats, Willmott captures an essence. It's an undefinable gray area in the game, a smooth, yet manic, improvisation of sorts. Wesley shines in this gray area.
If Wesley and Niven are the film's two most important characters, the third is light. Dazzling modern '50s-style cinematography is the film's technical benchmark and is professionally rivaled only, in this reviewer's humble opinion, by the Coen brothers" "The Man Who Wasn't There." Oh, and the film is also hysterically funny.
Also, can we talk in-depth about Justin Wesley? The dude can act. His reserved self-assuredness pokes through all the pores of his performance, but mostly he's just really good at being cool. He's the absolute perfect choice for the role: a current Kansas basketball player who understands Allen Fieldhouse's limelight, but also has zero notable previous acting experience, so is totally pliable — from a director's standpoint at least. Niven's performance as the wiry, hotheaded, yet devoted, Allen is a vibrant part of the film -shining behind a well-groomed ability to portray loving toughness.
"Jayhawkers" is a must-see for any Kansas graduate, student or basketball fan, and instantly becomes a vitally important torch for Kansas' rich basketball heritage.

Drake apologizes for Rolling Stone blowup
Drake has apologized for railing on Rolling Stone after the magazine bumped him off the cover in favor of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
He took to his website on Friday to issue an open letter "to clear the air about an extremely emotional day."
"I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on
the cover with the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication," Drake wrote.
"My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazine's behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating."
He went on to write that had he be given the choice, he would have waited "until it was my time."
"I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment," he continued.
The rapper-singer created a Twitter firestorm on Thursday when he admonished the publication in a series of tweets, some of which were subsequently deleted, to his more than 14 million Twitter followers.
He vented over remarks on Kanye West that he believed were off the record and was peeled that he lost the cover "last minute" after the magazine replaced him with a tribute to Hoffman, who died of an
apparent overdose on Feb 2
Drake went so far as to say that he was "disgusted" by the publication and later added that he's "done doing interviews for magazines."
The rapper didn't further address another issue he has with the magazine — that it used comments he made over West's polarizing "Yeezus," saying he was ambivalent about the album and criticizing some of the album's lyrics.
"Atter dwelling on it for a few hours or days you will come to the conclusion that you brought it on yourself almost every time," he went on to write. "I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow."

TECHNOLOGY
Popularity on social media creates anxiety
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
If your Instagram doesn't get 11 likes or more, you should probably take it down because having anything less is embarrassing. If your tweet doesn't get retweeted and favorited more than five times, it probably wasn't creative enough. Make sure your Pinterest boards only have the newest fashion trends and choose a profile picture on Facebook that is you looking your absolute best.
Although these "rules" aren't written in a bible of social media somewhere, social media is shaping us to believe that the amount of likes or favorites we receive on a photo, tweet, Pinterest pin or Facebook post is an indication of how well we are liked as a person.
Although some believe that social media brings us closer together, research disagrees. According to the book, "Status Update: Celebrity, Publicity, and Branding in the Social Media Age" by Alice E. Marwick, social software may inadvertently promote inequality rather than countering it. She states that "metrics," such as a number of likes on a photo, egg on this inequality ideology by making social status something that can be quantified, qualified and publicized.
By looking at what others post, we begin to mold ourselves to a new measurement of what is considered normal and acceptable. We start thinking about what others would like to see us post instead of what we want to post.
This constant want to please and impress our social media audience brings about a variety of anxieties.
According to the article, "The Six Major Anxieties of Social Media," by Maureen O'Connor, each social media outlet rewards a different human behavior and gives rise to a specific inferiority complex. For example, Instagram gives users fear of missing out, or FOMO, Twitter produces the fear of looking dumb and Pinterest triggers the fear of domestic inequality. Alyssa Mitchell, a sophomore from Overland Park, says she thinks people feel the most anxiety when posting pictures on Instagram, "It's a comparison game," Mitchell said. "If their picture only gets three likes versus someone else's post that gets 13, it's somehow inferior."
But, it isn't just the big names of social media that provoke these anxieties. Even Spotify and LinkedIn cause their users to re-evaluate their public presence. What happens if you listen to the same song too many times in a row? What if
my profile doesn't look professional enough?
Although these side-effect anxieties of social media seem to have a firm grasp on our social media presence, AJ Kim, a junior from Lansing, believes that social media and technology are still positive outlets and will continue to better society in the future. "I think the impact that technology will have in the future can be used for the better," Kim said. "People posting more photos of themselves will help get rid of self-consciousness about looks. For example, Snapchat. I get more funny faced snap chats than anything."
As the technology of our world continues to grow and improve, what we must understand are the positives and negatives that come from social media. We are a society that thrives off of our interconnectedness and our ability to communicate in a matter of seconds. Although there seems to be no clear answer how to rid yourself of these social media anxieties, embrace your social media audience and post what you yourself deem appropriate. Whether it's 100 likes or one favorite, let social media posts become just posts, instead of material to judge.

Already Fallon is immersed in this kind of fun. For five years he hosted NBC's "Late Night," a job he relinquished only days ago. And now he's looking ahead to the Big Show, "The Tonight Show," where Monday, at the special time of midnight EST, he retrieves Carson's mantle — back in New York after 42 years in Los Angeles.
The show will even recommission that sacred space Studio 6B where Carson reigned before his 1972 move west.

According to a recent study released by non-profit Anxiety UK, more than half of the social media users polled said Facebook, Twitter and other networking sites had changed their lives — and 51 percent of those said it's not been for the better.
Fallon first became popular during his six years on "Saturday Night Live," where he displayed a chameleonic range of characters and impersonations, plus a musicality that grants him uncanny skill at mimicking numerous recording stars.
Forty-five percent of responders said they feel "worried or uncomfortable" when email and Facebook are inaccessible, while 60 percent of respondents stated "they felt the need to switch off" their phones and computers to secure a full-fledged break from technology.
SOCIAL MEDIA STATISTICS
Sixty-two percent of adults who are currently a member of more than one social networking site say they keep an eye on their social networks because they don't want to miss something, such as news or an important event or status update.
Data also revealed that two-thirds of respondents had difficulty sleeping after using social media, and 25 percent admitted to difficulties in relationships because of "confrontational online" behavior.

But even as the 39-year-old waxes eagerness about the new "Tonight Show," he wants everyone to know it won't really be so different, after all: essentially an hour-earlier "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," including its house band, the Roots (though this eight-piece ensemble will expand by two horns), its announcer-sidekick, Steve Higgins, and comic bits like "Slow Jam the News" and "Thank-you Notes."

It also allows "Tonight" to make a clean break from its turbulent post-Carson era under Jay Leno (and, fleetingly, Conan O'Brien), when the Carson-bequeathed formula of jokes, celebs and chitchat was, too often, upstaged by behind-the-scenes soap opera. Leno was consistently the late-night ratings winner, but never won much respect from the public, critics, or even his own network, which twice sent him packing from "Tonight."
NEW YORK — On the walls of Jimmy Fallon's office are photos. Lots of photos. Of his 2007 marriage to film producer Nancy Juvenen. Of their 6-month-old daughter, Winnie. Of his mom and dad as newlyweds. Fallon points them all out to a visitor proudly.

Minn. town produces big Olympians
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WARROAD, Minn. — As T.J. Oshie was leading the U.S. men's team to a dramatic 3-2 shootout win over Russia in Sochi on Saturday, his tiny Minnesota hometown was celebrating the Olympic success of yet another of its hockey players and wondering if he'd be the latest to medal.
Warroad, a town of fewer than 2,000 people that's 6 miles south of the Canadian border, has the Midas touch: No U.S. men's team has ever won a gold medal without having a Warroad player on its roster.
I think it's pretty amazing that we're such a small town and we get such big opportunities," said Sarah Casperson, 16, a sophomore at Warroad High School. "People here are so talented."
Oshie, a 27-year-old forward on the St. Louis Blues, is one of two Warroad hockey players at the Olympics. The other is Gigi Marvin, a defenseman on the U.S. women's team. She was Oshie's high school classmate and the prom queen
to his prom king in 2005, according to the Belleville (ll.) News-Democrat.
The tiny town is filled with tributes to Oshie and Martin. Store windows are plastered with posters wishing the Olympians good luck, and huge U.S. flags hang everywhere.
Casperson joked that children in Warroad, which bills itself as "Hockeytown USA," learn to skate before they can walk. But there is some truth to it.
"From the time kids are tiny their parents have them in skates," said Marnie Swedberg, who owns a retail store in town. "From the time they're 2 or 3, they've got them in the rink."
There's a long history of hockey greatness in this rural outpost, where the cold winters make for perfect ice-skating conditions. Of the town's seven players who have played in the Olympics, only Oshie, who is competing in the tournament for the first time, hasn't medaled.
Marvin, whose grandfather Cal Marvin coached the U.S.
men's team in the 1960s, won silver four years ago in Vancouver. And Henry Boucha, an Ojibwa Indian, won silver with the U.S. team in 1972.
Then there are the Christians. Dave Christian played on the Miracle on Ice team that beat the Soviet Union in 1980 en route to winning the gold medal. His father, Bill Christian, and uncle, Roger Christian, helped the U.S. win gold at the 1960 games and played in the 1964 games in Innsbruck, Austria. Another uncle, Gord Christian, took silver in 1956.
University of North Dakota hockey coach Dave Hakstol, for whom Oshie played for three years, remembered his protege as an intense competitor who had a knack for rising to the occasion.
Whether Oshie can duplicate his predecessors' success remains to be seen, though his four shootout goals on six attempts at the end of Saturday's preliminary round game have put him in the spotlight.
The bigger the stage, the better Oshie plays, Hakstol said.

Kansas leaves South Carolina with three victories
AMIE JUST
sports@kansan.com
The Jayhawk softball team (4-4) made progress this weekend in South Carolina, at the College of Charleston Cougar Classic, with a 3-2 record, improving from last week's 1-2 record.
The following day, Kansas took on Western Carolina (0-4) and put their recent loss behind them. Kansas junior pitcher Alicia Pille (1-1) pitched a complete game shutout, winning 6-0. Pille had 10
"It was a good weekend," said coach Megan Smith. "We came here to get tested and we did. I thought that we battled, we fought and we learned a lot about our team. The freshmen got to see top-level competition for five games straight, which was good because we got to see how they responded."

The first game of the weekend against Fordham University (5-3) was run ruled due to the explosive fifth inning by the Jayhawks. Fordham took a quick lead in the first inning with a run from freshman Sydney Canessa, but after that it was all Kansas. Jayhawk sophomore pitcher Kelsey Kessler (2-2) allowed three hits with six strikeouts. Major contributors to the Kansas win were sophomore Chaley Brickey, junior Maddie Stein, senior Alex Jones and Kessler. Brickey counted for two of Kansas' 10 runs while also having a RBI. Stein connected on three of her four hits, bringing in four RBIs, while also having a run of her own. Jones had two hits and a RBI.
"We are young and we are growing and we are going to keep doing that all season."

"We were really excited about what we saw offensively and defensively," said Smith. "Our lineup did extremely well creating the opportunities and making the most of the opportunities."
In the second game against Ole Miss (4-5) it looked as if the Jayhawks would carry their momentum into the game with the Rebels. It held true for the first two innings as Jones and Brickey made easy work at bat while Kessler was throwing strikeouts. Then, Ole Miss, in

strikeouts in seven innings and posted her 16th career shutout. Pille wasn't the only leader for the Jayhawks. At bat, Stein had three hits and two RBIs.
"It would be nice if you could bank some of those runs and bring them back, but that is not the way it works," said Smith. "We had opportunities in the second game and left a lot of runners on."
"Maddie has been clutch her whole career," Smith said. "She stepped up, was really confident and came through for us. She is very steady... she is just calm and confident all the time. That is why she is so
clutch for us. She doesn't get amped up and she is just consistent with her approach."
The next game of the day, against College of Charleston (2-4), wasn't as easy. The Cougars were coming off of wins against Western Carolina and DePaul. It took an extra inning, but the Jayhawks fought off Charleston's rally, winning 6-5. Kessler and Pille both took the mound in the game, but Pille walked away with the win. Kessler recorded seven strikeouts and Pille added three. On offense, Kansas had 13 total hits. Freshman Harli Ridling posted three hits, leading the team. Jones, senior Ashley Newman, freshman Taylor Dodson and freshman Lily Behrmann all recorded two hits apiece.
"That's a big win for us," said Smith. "It's early in the season, but to get a win like that on their home field against a really solid College of Charleston team, that's a good win for
us. Especially the way it went down, with us having to battle and fight for it. We are young and we are growing and we are going to keep doing that all season."
In the final game of the weekend, Kansas faced DePaul (7-3). Kansas looked like they were going to pull it off, but DePaul scored in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to come from behind and win 3-2. On the mound were Kessler and Pille, with Pille taking the loss.
"Offensively, we didn't execute, we couldn't move runners and our defense let us down," said Smith. "We just lost some focus there at the end defensively."
The Kansas Jayhawks will be back in in action on Friday when they travel to Jackson, Miss., to play in the Jackson State Tournament.

Shockers trump Aces with 84-68 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Ron Baker scored 26 points and Fred VanVleet finished with 18 points, eight assists and five steals, leading No. 4 Wichita State to an 84-68 victory Sunday at Evansville.
The Shockers (27-0), 14-0 Missouri Valley Conference) remained one of two perfect teams in major college basketball and extended their school-record winning streak.
They are the 21st team in Division I history to go 27-0, a list No. 1 Syracuse could join later this week.
D. J. Balentine and Egidiju Mockevicius each scored 19 points, not quite enough to prevent Evansville (11-16, 4-10) from losing for the fourth time in five games.
But getting No. 27 sure wasn't easy.
Evansville spent most of the second half trying to dig out of a double-digit deficit and got
as close as 65-60 with about 6 minutes to play. But Wichita State sealed it with a late 13-4 spurt.
Things against Evansville never have been simple for the Shockers. Last season, the Aces swept the season series and two weeks ago, Evansville took an early double-digit lead in Omaha, Neb., before eventually losing by 14 points.
So Wichita State expected nothing less than Evansville's best effort Sunday, and that's
After spending the first half in pull-away mode only to get repeatedly chased down by the Aces, Wichita State finally looked as though it would finally take control early in the second half.
exactly what they got.
Tekele Cotton got things started by hitting a 3-pointer on the Shockers' first possession. By the time Wichita's 11-3 run ended, with VanVleet's reverse layup, the 38-32 halftime lead had expanded
to 49-35 and the Purple Aces were down to just two timeouts.
Wichita State still had a solid 55-41 lead with 14:04 to play when the Aces made yet another charger. This time, Mockevicius scored the first eight points in a 10-2 spurt that cut the deficit to 57-51 with 11:19 to play. But Cleananthy Early answered with a 3 and an alley-oop dunk to give the Shockers a 62-51 lead.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Ellis showed up on Saturday with his most efficient game as a Jayhawk against TCU. The sophomore scored a career-high 32 points while grabbing eight rebounds. That's two great games in a row for the Kansas native. Just like last season, Ellis is coming on strong with the postseason nearing.

Naadir Tharpe, guard
It wasn't that Tharpe had a terrible day, but as his time on the floor was limited so was his impact on the day. In only 20 minutes of playing time Tharpe missed all three of his field goal attempts while not picking four assists. To his credit he took care of the ball well even without a quick time to find his rhythm.

Jamari Traylor, forward
Coming off his one game suspension, Traylor wasted no time making up for his absence. In 22 minutes off the bench Traylor scored 10 points on 5-6 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds, it's clear that Traylor adds a boost of energy when he enters the game, which will keep happening more often than it doesn't.

Traylor key to Kansas victory in Embiid's absence
BLAIR SHEADE
sports@kansan.com
With 17 minutes left in the first half, sophomore forward Jamari Traylor entered the game for senior center Tarik Black. It was Traylor's first appearance back from his one-game suspension after he was benched for irresponsible behavior.
The motivation to prove he could bounce back from his suspension showed in the TCU game, but not right away.
Without freshmen center Joel Embiid, who was scratched from the lineup because of lingering back and knee injuries, the Jayhawks were looking for someone to step into Embiid's shoes. Traylor's performance against TCU was needed for Kansas to play well without Embiid, and the 95-65 victory showed
"In the second half I thought [Traylor] and Perry [Ellis], when they were in there together, they were without question our best performers inside," coach Bill Self said.
that Traylor could help the Jayhawks succeed on both ends of the floor.
Traylor's energy and hustle plays were his highlights for the game.
In the first half, Traylor played 11 minutes compared
side of the court and Traylor dove into the crowd to save the ball. The ball landed in the Horned Frogs' possession, but at the end of the possession Traylor came up with the defensive rebound. After that, Traylor's rebounding and
"He gave us energy, fire, defense, blocked shots and hustle. We all have that, we just didn't display it on Monday, and 'Mari usually gets us going."
WAYNE SELDEN JR.
Freshman guard
to Black's two minutes. Traylor only scored two points on 1-1 from the field and three rebounds in the first half, but the hustle plays in the second half made a difference.
"He gave us energy, fire, defense, blocked shots and hustle," freshman guard Wayne Selden, Jr. said. "We all have that, we just didn't display it on Monday and 'Mari usually gets us going."
At the 12-minute mark in the second half, a ball trickled out of bounds on the TCU
scoring opened up.
With less than six minutes left in the second half, Traylor blew by TCU's junior forward Amric Fields for a right-handed slam. The following defensive possession, Traylor hustled out to the perimeter and contested a TCU 3-pointer. TCU's freshmen forward Brandon Parish missed the shot and Traylor grabbed the defensive rebound too.
Traylor's block was a hustle play within its own realm. He slid over to help sophomore
forward Perry Ellis in the post and elevated over Ellis to block the layup.
Traylor finished the game with 10 points and eight rebounds in 22 minutes.
The guy who was supposed to play the majority of minutes for Embidid was Black, who played only eight minutes because of foul trouble. Black's one shining moment came when he was on the receiving end of an alley-oop by freshman guard Andrew Wiggins.
"Tarik looked like Tarik to start the season," Self said. "The first two fouls we had were totally irrelevant with the play. I don't know how he can make those plays and it totally took him out."
Even though Self said that Embiid will play on Tuesday in Lubbock, Texas, against Texas Tech, Traylor will still see a lot of playing time with the hustle and energy he adds to the team.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas falls to Iowa State in last seconds
KYLE PAPPAS sports@kansan.com
It was a familiar feeling for the women's basketball team following their 72-69 loss to Iowa State. After appearing to take a step forward in their home defeat of TCU earlier in the week, the Jayhawks regressed during a lackluster second half in Ames, Iowa.
It was the inconsistency that's plagued the Jayhawks (12-14, 5-9 Big 12) throughout the season that again hurt them — they were clearly outplayed after a stellar first half performance. The Cyclones (17-7, 6-7 Big 12) hit 18 of their 21 free throw attempts in the second half on the way to securing their comeback victory.
In likely one of their most impressive single-half showings of the season, the Jayhawks shot nearly 57 percent on their way to 40 points prior to the halftime buzzer. Senior guard CeCe Harper led the way, notching 10 points and four assists to move into 10th all-time among the Jayhawks single season assists leaders.
But the Cyclones were able to remain close behind the the play of senior forward
Hallie Christofferson. Kansas' junior forward Chelsea Gardner was unable to contain Christofferson in the post as the Naismith Award candidate scored 18 points on 7-11 shooting. She was a threat from everywhere on the floor, adding two 3-pointers as lowa State ended the half down by only seven.
As has been the case much of the season, the Jayhawks struggled to maintain their lead through the second half. The Cyclones pulled even with 13:00 remaining, their first lead in over 18 minutes, before the two teams began trading blows. There would be nine ties and four lead changes in the second half alone.
The superb shooting that carried the Jayhawks through the first half was nowhere to be found after intermission; they shot only 35.5 percent. The Jayhawks couldn't create open looks and Gardner was once again limited due to foul trouble. She was forced to the bench following her fourth personal foul with just over seven minutes remaining.
In Gardner's absence, junior guard Natalie Knight was big for Kansas, registering her first and only points of
the night on a 3-pointer that tied the game at 62 with just over four minutes remaining. Just as the Cyclones appeared to be putting a run together, Knight's 3-pointer stole the lead and momentum for them.
But the Jayhawks were unable to do much with that momentum. Down by one with only 15 seconds left, Harper committed a costly turnover that led to two Christofferson free throws. She converted both and Kansas' last second 3-point attempt came up short to seal its defeat.
With the Jayhawks in desperate need of a strong run to receive an invite to the NCAA tournament, Saturday's loss was one they simply couldn't afford. It more-orless cements their place in the bottom third of the Big 12 and likely makes a conference tournament win the only means by which Kansas can advance to the big dance.
The Jayhawks have a weeklong break before their next game against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.

Senior middle distance runner Dalen Fink passes the baton to his teammate, senior distance runner Brendan Soucie, to compete in the third leg of the Men's Distance Medley on April 20, 2012. Soucie recorded a personal best of 1:51.31 during his 800-meter race at the ISU Classic on Saturday.
Stiff competition can have differing effects on athletes. For some, being on the same field, court, or track with the best of the best may be intimidating.The amount of pressure that comes with taking on the elite can sometimes disrupt an athlete's focus or break their confidence. But, for athletes like runner Brendan Soucie, this kind of pressure can elevate performance.
"With competition like that, you have to run up to their level [become] there are not a whole lot of them running down to yours," Soucie said.
Soucie, a senior from Osawatomie, felt that pressure during his 800-meter race in Ames, Iowa, at the ISU Classic last Saturday. Soucie ran against a field that produced six of the current top-20 times in the nation.To say he faced a tough competition would be an understatement. But, instead of letting this intimidate him, Soucie let the pressure fuel him. He recorded a personal best of 1:51.31 in the 800 meters, which not only gave him 16th place overall in the stacked field, but it was the fastest indoor 800-meter time ran by a Jayhawk in seven years.
Soucie's time also puts him in third place in the Big 12 with the conference championships
just two weeks away. According to Soucie, this will provide a good mental lift entering the conference meet.
"Being able to get into a race like that before conference [championships] is a great confidence booster because I was racing some of the fastest guys out there," Soucie said.
While Soucie and a portion of the Jayhawk track team were racing in Ames, other Kansas athletes were making their marks in Fayetteville, Ark., for the Tyson Invitational. Among these athletes was Rhavee King, a sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., who much like Soucie, also posted a personal best in the 800 meters.
King finished the race with a mark of 2:10.85, giving her 14th place and etching her into the Jayhawk record books as the seventh fastest woman in indoor 800 meters history. But King was not done following her 800-meter race on Friday, as she was back in action the next day anchoring the 4x400-meter relay team. The quartet of King, freshman Whitney Adams from St. Charles, Mo., senior Diamond Dixon from Houston, and freshman Adriana Newell from Sparks, Nev., recorded a 3:41.18, the team's fastest time of the season, which led to a 15th place finish.
Besides helping the 4x400-meter relay team to a
season mark, Dixon also had a good weekend individually, setting a season best mark in the 400 meters and a career best mark in the 200 meters. Her times of 53.25 in the 400 meters and 23.61 in the 200 meters gave her ninth-place and seventh-place finishes respectively, putting her in the top-15 nationally for both events.
Caleb Cowling, a freshman from Lincoln,Neb., was among the 13 Kansas athletes who recorded personal records at the two-day meet in Fayetteville, leaping a career-long 7.39 meters （24'3"）in the long jump.The mark, which gave him third place at the meet, sets the freshman up well for his first conference championship as it moved him up to fifth place in the Big 12 long jump standings.
The Jayhawks will now prepare for the Big 12 Indoor Championships, which kick off in Ames on Friday, Feb. 28, and wrap up on Saturday, March 1. There will be a lot on the line for the Jayhawks as the women's team will enter as the defending team champion. Two individual athletes will be defending Big 12 indoor titles as well, with junior Lindsay Vollmer, from Hamilton, Mo., and Dixon defending champions in the pentathlon and 400 meters respectively.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I'm looking at some of the conventional metrics and saying we're doing great. I'm looking at the new metrics and saying we're doing incredible."
Alan Wurtzel, NBCUniversal president of research and media development
FACT OF THE DAY
saturday's 9.6 rating is currently the second-lowest rating ever for a primetime Olympics telecast.

Sports Media Watch
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many fewer viewers per night is NBC drawing for the Sochi games compared to the 2010 Vancouver games?
A: 9.6 million
THE MORNING BREW Sochi Olympics fail to impress
Sports Media Watch
The numbers are in: The Sochi Olympics viewership ratings are historically low, and it may
go down as the least watched Olympics in recent memory. Only the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics compares with this year's paltry viewership.
It's not surprising to anybody who's attempted to sit through strings of uninteresting events that lack compelling figures or story-lines. The Winter Olympics tend to lack the hype of the Summer games, but this year's edition is simply boring.
By Nick Chadbourne sports@kansan.com
The main storyline going into the Olympics — the political sniping between USA and Russia — was tiresome before the opening ceremonies even began. Russia feared "black widow" bombers marring its Sochi legacy, but instead it's on pace to being one of the least interesting Olympics in recent memory.
It took until one week before the closing ceremony that the Sochi
Olympics finally had its first classic moment.
It wasn't until American hockey player TJ Oshie slid the puck between the legs of the Russian goalkeeper to win an overtime shootout on Saturday night, with Russian president Vladimir Putin in attendance, that viewers had reason to feel the type of excitement, anticipation and heartbreak that we expect from the Olympics, the type of feeling that's sorely lacking in this edition of the Olympic games.
You know, the anticipation of seeing
Olympic history each time Phelps jumped into the pool in Britain's 2012 Olympics.
The feeling of awe when Shaun White seemed suspended in the air while completing a Double McTwist 1260 on his victory-lap run in the 2010 Vancouver games.
A week later, viewers witnessed the Team USA hockey thrashing of Team Canada, earning its first
victory against our northern neighbors in 50 years. Or the heartbreak seven days later in the gold medal match when the Canadians scored the game-winner in overtime, crushing the out-matched Americans' hopes of winning gold.
THE BREW
Perhaps Sochi will deliver these types of moments in its final week, but there's nothing from the first ten days that would signal such an occurrence.

Nothing will change the indifference American viewers hold toward this year's Olympics until we're given a reason to. So far, this year's Olympics hasn't supplied us with many.

"Kahana has a rock solid effort," Price said. "And Jordan was outstanding. He controls whether we win or lose."
Junior starting pitcher Wes Benjamin got the nod for Kansas in the first game of the season. Benjamin struggled at times, but overall had a strong first outing, going seven innings, allowing four runs on six hits and striking out four.
Junior Connor McKay was the hero in the Jayhawk's opening game of the season on Friday. McKay was responsible for tying the game in the fifth inning with a two-run home run and giving the Jayhawks
"The game showed that we can come back from anything." Hernandez said. "We came together as a team and we built a lot of character."
A 3-0 start to the season is exactly what the Jayhawks were hoping for going into the weekend. The team was solid on every aspect of the field. The starting pitching was strong, the defense was crisp and the bats were alive, while Jordan Piché lived up to his reputation as Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. If Kansas can carry this momentum, then a ninth-place finish in the Big 12 is certainly not in the Jay-

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Ellis' skill leads Kansas to victory
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
They chanted Perry Eis's name twice on Saturday. The first came after he knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner late in the second half. Oddly enough, it was the sort of shot that Ellis rarely takes. Against Texas Christian University, it was the sort of shot that Ellis wouldn't miss.
Even the stoic sophomore took a second to relish the moment, nearly cracking a smile while hugging his teammates and taking a glance around the building.
The fans started chanting again two free throws later, as Ellis walked off the floor with 32 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Kansas coach Bill Self pulled his regulars with two and a half minutes remaining, not that it made things easier for the Horned Frogs.
The chorus struck up shortly before the ball had fallen completely through the net, yet it had sunk far enough to celebrate two things. Ellis scoring a career-high 30 points, and no chance for a TCU comeback.
No. 7 Kansas defeated TCU 95-65. In large part, because Ellis' demeanor never changed.
"We knew we weren't playing how we should be playing; Wayne Selden Jr. said of the first half.
Quite the surprising statement given the final score, but this was also a game in which Kansas trailed for seven minutes during first half.
Of course, Ellis was playing how he should've been. That much rarely changes.
He had only missed two field goals in the first frame, so when Selden says the Jayhawks needed to step up it, Ellis took that upon himself, too.
He didn't miss a shot the rest of the way.
"Nobody had a game like Perry." Self said.
Even as his teammates gloated over his performance, Ellis just sat there, almost uncomfortable as the jayhawks recounted his flawless plays. All Ellis could muster was a
All Ellis could muster half smile and an explanation.
"I wasn't taking rushed shots," Ellis said. "I was taking most shots in rhythm."
With respect to Ellis, it takes a little more than that.
It takes the type of positioning and hustle that allowed Ellis to take advantage of TCU's zone. And it takes a type of vision, precision and patience to operate inside of it.
When Ellis had an open look in the second half, he tossed up a lap to Andrew Wiggins instead. Trading a high percentage shot for a higher one.
"I would do the same for him," Wiggins said.
Maybe so, but it wouldn't have seemed as effortless as the way Ellis played.
Without taking more than three trips to the free throw line to inflate his numbers, Ellis quietly put away every pass that was fed to him and every rebound he could grab.
No chest pounding, loud roars or even signals for the crowd to get louder.
Pass. Post up. Score.
The crowd did the celebrating for Ellis. Any other way just wouldn't be his style.
"He's still our most consistent scorer," Self said. "He's going to get his in some way, shape or form."

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN Perry Ellis and Andrew Wiggins fight for a rebound against TCU. Ellis scored career-high 32 points and led the Jayhawks to a 95-65 victory.
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com
The 32 points are the most scored by a Kansas player this season and the most since Ben McLemore scored 36 points against West Virginia last March.
"This is probably the best offensive game that Perry has had, as far as most complete," coach Bill Self said. "He did a lot of different things."
Showcasing his full offensive arsenal, Ellis made two 3-pointers and a series of midrange shots along with his usual dunks and lay-ins as he took advantage of gaps in the Horned Frogs' zone defense
"He put the ball in the hoop whenever we gave it to him," freshman guard Wayne Selden Jr. said of Ellis, who also recorded team-highs of eight rebounds and five assists. "He really produced for us today."
Ellis led an efficient Kansas offense that shot a season-high 61.5 percent from the floor. The offense was able to mask a sluggish defensive first half for the Jayhawks as the worst offensive team in the Big 12 was able to blitz Kansas for 56.5 percent shooting in the period. Led by 21 points from junior guard Kyan Anderson, TCU scored 40 points and made almost twice as many trips to the free throw line as Kansas in the first half. Trailing 22-16 with 12 minutes remaining in the first half, Kansas ended the half on a 31-18 run to regain control and take a seven-point lead into halftime.
Self's halftime message was a simple one: "Maybe this half we can try a little harder."
With a defensive focus, the Jayhawks held TCU to 33 percent shooting and forced nine turnovers in the second half.
Kansas made a slight adjustment on Anderson as the Jayhawks held the Horned Frogs' leading scorer to only four points and one field goal after halftime.
"We knew we weren't playing how we should have been playing." Selden said.
Feeding off of its revived defense, the laj Hawk's offense got off to a blazing start and went on a 23-5 run to open the second half. The spurt included a span of three Kansas alley-oops in three minutes as Kansas gained a 25 point advantage with 12 minutes remaining.
The Horned Frogs' offense couldn't keep up and only made one field goal during the stretch. In fact, Ellis' 10 points doubled the five points TCU earned as a team during the Kansas run.
After lighting up the Horned Frogs for a then-career high of 27 points in Fort Worth, Texas, freshman guard Andrew Wiggins ended with 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting. Despite scoring a season-low two points against Kansas State on Monday, Selden responded for 15 points and three steals.
"We've got to pick our poison when dealing with them," TCU coach Trent Johnson said. "For us, Ellis is a bad match-up."
Labeled by Self as the team's most consistent scorer, Ellis is in the midst of his best play all season after averaging 25.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in two games this week. Ellis and the Jayhawks head down to Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday to face an improved Texas Tech squad.
"I'm just trying to go out there and play my best," Ellis said. "That's all I can do."

Tharp connected with a walk-off RBI single in the second game of a doubleheader against Brigham Young University Saturday, capping off an impressive 4-9, three-RBI day.
"The whole game was crazy," Tharp said. "It was the typical back-and-forth college game. I tried to stay in and put a good swing on the ball and hit it hard somewhere. It felt really great to get the game-winner. It was a lot of fun for the team early in the season."

Kansas went into the 10th inning trailing to the Cougars by one run. After a drag-bunt single from junior third baseman Tommy Mirabelli, the Jayhawks proceeded to load the bases. Junior infielder
The Jayhawks had an amazing offensive game in the nightcap, recording 17 hits and scoring 10 out of 11 runs with two outs.
Aaron Hernandez drove Mirabelli in to tie the game with a sacrifice fly. Tharp was the next batter up, driving home the winning run.
"I was most impressed with our offense," coach Ritch Price said. "All nine guys got a base hit, and 10 two-out runs is almost unheard of in the game of baseball."
Tucker Tharp was not the only jayhawk to have an impressive day at the dish. Hernandez and junior outfitter Michael Suiter recorded three RBI's while Mirabelli and junior first baseman Blair Beck scored two runs. Beck also posted a 4-5 game with 14 putouts at first.

Gutmacher Institute says that 64 percent of women who use contraception currently use the pill, patch, intrauterine device (IUD) implant, Depo Provera shot, or the NuvaRing. However, the Depo Provera shot and NuvaRing are causing serious complications.
The NuvaRing is something that women can insert themselves, unlike an IUD or a Depo Provera shot. Over three weeks, this ring releases hormones that block sperm from getting to an egg, according to a National Public Radio health blog.

Still, women continue to use this contraception choice because, according to McKee, there are always going to be side effects no matter the birth control type. McKee said that if a woman knows enough about her body, she will be able to tell if something is wrong with a birth control method and know that it's not the choice for her.

Revamping old furniture worth the work
JULIA JOHNSTON
entertain@kansan.com
Many college students are decorating their apartments on a small budget. New furniture is pricey, and can be harmful to your wallet. A creative alternative to buying new furniture is revamping old pieces with a fresh coat of paint.
"The dresser I was given was originally orange and covered in monster truck stickers, but hey it was free. I wanted a piece that would fit into an apartment and still look eclectic but not overwhelming," said Lauren Dow, a senior from Oklahoma City.
Dow took her creativity a step further and added colorful knobs and chalkboard paint to her dresser. Writing on your drawers instead of rummaging through them each morning can help you save time as well as stay organized. She found cheap paint and primer at Hobby Lobby, located at West 23rd Street in Lawrence.

found herself in the same situation — except her free dresser was electric blue. Inspired by a dresser she found on Pinterest, a website used for sharing ideas, she decided to paint the dresser yellow with brown distressed edges to give it a vintage look.
Patrick took her time when decorating and drew inspiration from a few different sources. She loves the opportunity to create a room with a new feel but as a college student she understands that can be pretty pricey. Instead, she found designs she liked and recreated them in a cheap and simple way.
and simple way. "I found some knobs I was in love with at World's Window," Patrick said. "I took a picture of them and went straight next door to Michaels, where I bought paint pens to recreate the design. Sneaky, I know."
Do-it-yourself projects seem like a lot of work but are worth giving your wallet a break.
"My dresser was something I created and designed," Patrick said. "That gave a free piece of furniture instant sentimental value."

Spring interior decorating calls for mixing, matching
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
entertain@kansan.com
While the snow mountains in the rec parking lot may not be going anywhere anytime soon, the spring season is creeping closer and closer. What better time to spruce up your living space than the celebration of the sunny walks to class, the anticipated return of patio drinking and warm weekends? Check out these tips for incorporating the latest spring residence into your Lawrence residence.
When it comes to paint colors, furniture and décor, blue is the way to go. Bring a little Santorini to Kansas with pieces inspired by the color of the infamous Greek domed rooftops. Michael Skaggs of Beautiful Inside & Out Designs said, "Blue is very, very big. Blue everything. Try to keep everything bright." Skaggs
recommends pairing neutrals with colorful and eye-catching accent chairs.
"If it's something you love, it will work. Definitely invest in items that you truly love," Skaggs said. When deciding between more expensive pieces, he recommends putting the extra cash toward the items that catch your eye. "Generally more expensive pieces will last longer, making it worth the extra expense," Skaggs said.
Keep an eye out for unique pieces that will individualize your living space. By incorporating
classics with one-of-a-kind furniture or paintings, you can really channel your own personal style into your living space. Check out consignment stores, thrift shops, and even Goodwill for wall decorations, shelf fillers or furniture.
"If it's something you love, it will work. Definitely invest in items that you truly love."
When it comes to taking up that extra wall space, frames and mirrors can be a great way to spruce up a bare area. There are all kinds of arrangement possibilities. Check out Pinterest for layout ideas. When shopping, look for frames

in a variety of textures and shapes. Mix and match, and try leaving some of the frames empty for a unique twist on the arrangement.

semester," Swanson said. "And having fresh flowers around the house every now and then can add a lot of color and give off a nice, fresh, spring smell."

Don't be afraid to mix patterns. This season is all about self-expression and taking risks. So go ahead and put your favorite prints together and forget any rules you picked up in high school interior design.

assumes 15 unique birth control options that our country provides. Some of these options include the birth control pill, the Depo Provera injectable and the NuvaRing.
Guttmacher Institute says that 64 percent of women who use contraception currently use the pill, patch, intrauterine device (IUD) implant, Depo Provera shot, or the NuvaRing. However, the Depo Provera shot and NuvaRing are causing serious complications.
The NuvaRing is something that women can insert themselves, unlike an IUD or a Depo Provera shot. Over three weeks, this ring releases hormones that block sperm from getting to an egg, according to a National Public Radio health blog.
Still, women continue to use this contraception choice because, according to McKee, there are always going to be side effects no matter the birth control type. McKee said that if a woman knows enough about her body, she will be able to tell if something is wrong with a birth control method and know that it's not the choice for her.

Students living in houses keep exteriors inviting
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
Having an appealing house is important for many college students. This includes keeping the front clear of debris and keeping the lawn mowed.
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN

homes, fresh and new.
As the ice begins to melt, students around campus are getting anxious for the new weather and possibility of spring. With the warm weather comes outdoor activities, and with outdoor activities comes the outdoor upkeep of patios, porches, balconies and lawns.
So what makes a house appealing? What characteristics does it have that would invite people in with its curb appeal? For Lauren Herd, a freshman from Wichita, a house has curb appeal if it doesn't look run-down or dirty on the outside, with no stuff lying around. For Ceanna Chapman, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo., a house has to be well kept and not look abandoned for it to look welcoming and warm to her
doned for it to look welcoming and warm to me. For those living in a house, keeping a mowed lawn can be a huge benefit when trying to make the outside of your home tidier. Also, painting your door a deep red or dramatic indigo can add major curb appeal. This unexpected pop of color can make even the most tired looking
If you don't reside in a home, you can make sure that the patio or front door step is leaf and clutter free. Get creative by adding a cute door mat or hanging a welcome wreath. Potted plants or a small table and chairs would be a nice addition to a small balcony. Not only does keeping the outside clean matter, it is also helpful to make your outside area a nice atmosphere to enjoy the crisp, warm Lawrence weather with friends or family.
Since a new law in Lawrence prohibiting couches on porches was put into effect last August, a classy alternative would be to purchase a few chairs along with a small table to place on your balcony or porch, thereby inviting guests up your walk as well as achieving a pleasant, curb appealing outdoor space.
However, being college students means that students have to follow strict guidelines set for them when it comes to how they keep up their new-found pad. Many students bump heads with their landlords for two main reasons. One reason being that students who live in places
that aren't legally their own don't keep their home up to regulation, such as too much clutter in the front lawn or balcony. The other main reason is that if a student does want to spruce up his or her exterior, they often fail to abide by the set of guidelines given in the contract. Remember to get the okay from your landlord before mounting things or painting anything.
With spring coming, it normally means a round of spring cleaning as well. So why not start from the outside and work your way in? Having a well-kept outside living space not only is nice for those who pass by, but for those who live inside as well.

mounts 10 universal birth control options that our country provides. Some of these options include the birth control pill, the Depo Provera injectable and the NuvaRing.
Guttmacher Institute says that 64 percent of women who use contraception currently use the pill, patch, intrauterine device (IUD) implant, Depo Provera shot, or the NuvaRing. However, the Depo Provera shot and NuvaRing are causing serious complications.
The NuvaRing is something that women can insert themselves, unlike an IUD or a Depo Provera shot. Over three weeks, this ring releases hormones that block sperm from getting to an egg, according to a National Public Radio health blog.
Still, women continue to use this contraception choice because, according to McKee, there are always going to be side effects no matter the birth control type. McKee said that if a woman knows enough about her body, she will be able to tell if something is wrong with a birth control method and know that it's not the choice for her.

By switching from incandescent bulb (center) and choosing an energy-efficient halogen bulb (left and right), students could lower their energy bills.
Cheap ways to live green

With everything that the college lifestyle has thrown at us, it's easy to forget the little efforts that could make a big difference, which include trying to be more eco-friendly. This doesn't necessarily mean volunteering your time or money, it's as simple as making your apartment healthier for the environment. Here are five ways to make your apartment greener without spending too much money or time:
vironmental studies assistant professor, suggests that students turn down their thermostats. "Turn your thermostat down a few degrees," Stock said. "Just a couple degrees makes a big difference and adds up in dollars, too."
1. Get energy-efficient light bulbs: Upon moving into your new apartment, you may not think twice about the light bulbs you choose, but the truth is those light bulbs may be be costing you more money and trips to the store for replacements. According to Energy.gov, energy-efficient light bulbs will save students on average $50 per year and can last anywhere from 3-25 times longer.
3. Learn to cook: Stock also thinks an excellent way for students to help the environment and their wallet is to start cooking. "Learn to cook a little more often," he said. "It can save money, lead to healthier eating habits and is a lifelong skill while reducing waste."
2. Off with the AC: Paul Stock, a University en
4. Purchase a water-filter: Almost everyone is guilty of grabbing a plastic water bottle on the go and tossing after one use. As reported by ALAboutWater.org, companies that bottle water abuse limited resources and the production of billions of plastic water bottles have put a major stress on the environment. You can find a water filter online at Walmart for as low as $10.97. This will limit your plastic waste.
er plastic cups and plates that can be thrown in the dishwasher instead of the trash after use. According to GreenStudentU.com, using disposable cups and plates is bad for the environment and student finances. So fight the temptation to stock up on red solo cups and do your part.
5. Limit the disposable kitchenware: Another way to limit plastic waste is by purchasing cheap-
Whether you live off campus now, or later, you
have the opportunity to do your part and give back to the environment. Being green doesn't mean having to a change your lifestyle to any extreme. Do your part and Lawrence will be a happier and healthier city.

When Ellis had an open look in the second half, he tossed up a lob to Andrew Wiggins instead. Trading a high percentage shot for a higher one.
Without taking more than three trips to the free throw line to inflate his numbers, Ellis quietly put away every pass that was fed to him and every rebound he could grab.

Maybe so, but it wouldn't have seemed as effortless as the way Ellis played.
"I would do the same for him." Wiggins said.
No chest pounding, loud roars or even signals for the crowd to get louder.
"He's still our most consistent scorer," Self said. "He's going to get his in some way, shape or form."

Tarp connected with a walk-off RBI single in the second game of a doubleheader against Brigham Young University Saturday, capping on an impressive 4-9, three-RB1 day.
"The whole game was crazy," Tharp said. "It was the typical back-and-forth college game. I tried to stay in and put a good swing on the ball and hit it hard somewhere. It felt really great to get the game-winner. It was lot of fun for the team early in the season."
Kansas went into the 10th inning trailing to the Cougars by one run. After a drag-bunt single from Junior third baseman Tommy Mirabelli, the Jayhawks proceeded to load the bases. Junior infielder

Tucker Tharp was not the only jayhawk to have an impressive day at the dish. Hernandez and junior outfielder Michael Suiter recorded three RBI's while Mirabelli and junior first baseman Blair Beck scored two runs. Beck also posted a 4-5 game with 14 putouts at first.

Five must-have amenities for great apartment life
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
LANDREW HOSKINS
entertain@kansan.com
The groundhog may have seen his shadow this year, but the snow is still melting and spring is on its way. Pretty soon, you're going to be faced with the mother of all important life dilemmas: Should I ditch my apartment and try for something better, or is this the best I'm ever going to get? While this decision is tough, it's not impossible. We've listed the five most important amenities your apartment should have to be comfortably livable. If you've got them already, you're probably good where you're at. If not, then it's time to start looking.
BASKETBALL COURT:
For the nicer spring days, you better hope your apartment complex has a basketball court nearby. Basketball is an excellent way to get out in the sunshine and socialize. Plus, exercise is supposed to be good for you, right? Endorphins and all that stuff. Who knows, maybe having fun and staying healthy can happen at the same time.
"I think it's important to have a basketball court so you can easily get some exercise and socialize with friends," said Nick Kennedy, a sophomore from Bloomington, ill.
After all the sludge and muck of our latest snow, your apartment may look like Shrek's swamp house. If you have carpet anywhere it's going to be a nightmare to clean up. It's best to make sure your place has easy-to-clean hardwood or tile floors. Make sure you have a huge stash of cleaning supplies on hand to clean everything up. We recommend a mop, bleach and a Cinderella-quality work ethic.
HARDWOOD OR TILE FLOORS:
POOL:
Bikinis. Six packs. Need I say more? Having a pool at your apartment complex is a great way to get out and meet people where you live. And see them without a shirt on. It's also a great way to showcase all that hard work you've been putting in at the gym all winter. If you've been neglecting your guns then it's a chance to motivate yourself to buff up before the summer.
"It's all about the social aspect, said John Castellaw, a freshman from Wichita. "Having a pool is like your gym. It's a place where people can meet up and get to know each other."
LAUNDROMAT:
In college sometimes desperate measures must be taken. Unwashed pants may need to be worn. Dirty acts may have been done in a shirt that you're continuing to wear the day after. But sometimes a line needs to be drawn. Make sure the complex you plan on moving into has an innit washer and dryer or at least a free laundry service.
"It's for the sake of convenience," said India D'Ortona, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan. "It's so you don't have to go out of your way to go to a laundromat."
If you're a Kansan, then you know it gets hot here in the summer. And when we say hot, we don't mean your average heat. We're talking swampy, scorching, hard-to-breathe hot. A simple window unit is just not going to cut it in this state. You need to make sure your place is fully equipped with a functioning central cooling unit.

around 15 different birth control options that our country provides. Some of these options include the birth control pill, the Depo Provera injectable and the NuvaRing.
Guttmacher Institute says that 64 percent of women who use contraception currently use the pill, patch, intrauterine device (IUD) implant, Depo Provera shot, or the NuvaRing. However, the Depo Provera shot and NuvaRing are causing serious complications.
The NuvaRing is something that women can insert themselves, unlike an IUD or a Depo Provera shot. Over three weeks, this ring releases hormones that block sperm from getting to an egg, according to a National Public Radio health blog.
Still, women continue to use this contraception choice because, according to McKee, there are always going to be side effects no matter the birth control type. McKee said that if a woman knows enough about her body, she will be able to tell if something is wrong with a birth control method and know that's not the choice for her.

Student body President Marcus Tetwiler and three other Advisory Board members recommended eliminating a student fee funding women's and non-revenue sports for Kansas Athletics Monday afternoon.
University of Kansas students are required to pay the semesterly $25 student fee to offset travel expenses for women's and non-revenue sports. Currently, students pay between $1.2 and $1.3 million annually to the athletic department fund through the current fee.
The committee recommended two different options to a separate Student Senate Fee Review Committee: That the student fee be eliminated entirely, or that the fee be lowered from $25 a semester to $20.
The $20 recommendation came based on a 2004 contract
signed by former student body President Andrew Knopp and former Athletic Director Lew Perkins that guaranteed a fee of $20 or more until at least the year 2020. David Catt, the chairman of the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Advisory Board, who voted on the recommendation, disputed the validity of the contract.
"Within the past three weeks, conversations with both law professors and practicing attorneys outside of the University of Kansas structure have indicated that the document is non-binding in any way and merely reflects what two people acting out of their power thought a decade ago," Catt said in an email to the Kansan.
Catt compiled a critical review of the fee. His report ends with the recommendation to eliminate the fee, which other members of the Advisory Board have agreed to.
"Is it the responsibility of
24,000 students to pay for Title IX compliance for a corporation?" Student Senate graduate affairs director Pantaleon Florez III asked during the meeting.
Florez asked the question after KU Athletics representatives explained why the fee exists. KU Athletics CFO Pat Kaufman and senior associate athletic director Debbie Van Saun helped clarify financial information and added insight from the Athletic Department's point of view.
Van Saun, Kaufman and two female student athletes focused on what the fee does to ensure that KU Athletics meets Title IX equality requirements for equal travel among sports teams.
Katy Evans, a former Kansas rower and current tutor for KU Athletics, said the fee is essential to keeping the quality of travel equal among sports teams.
"This fee has allowed for gender equality between sports," Evans said.
The Athletics Department spent $6,601,009 on travel expenses in 2013. It isn't clear how much of that money was spent on women's and non-revenue sports. KU Athletics revenues totaled $93.6 million during the same year. In 2012, the fee accounted for 1.6 percent of KU Athletics' total revenue.
The Senate's responsibility to help finance Title IX, a federal law, was a main question of senators. Tetwiler pointed to the Senate's earlier decision to forgo funding a federally required accessibility ramp at Strong Hall. The Senate questioned if students should pay for the University to meet government standards.
"Our opinion is that that's not a responsibility of student fees," Tetwil said.
The Senate also questioned KU Athletics' multi-million dollar revenues and whether the Athletics Department needs the $1.2 to $1.3 million of student fee revenue collected by
the fee to help support its travel expenses.
During the meeting, Catt asked if Athletics could appropriate money from other sources to account for the fee, should that income disappear for the department.
"We'll have to find a way somewhere, somewhere, somehow to cover it," Kaufman said. "The bottom line is: It will put a damper on our ability to cover these costs."
"It's very difficult to get donations that are earmarked for women and non-revenue sports and that's why this fee has become so important," Van Saun added.
Kaufman said the Athletic Department might have to consider "looking" at the $150 student ticket package if the student fee is eliminated.
In 2008, Senate was one vote shy of eliminating the fee. According to a Lawrence Journal-World report, Lew Perkins said he would maintain the price of the $150 student
ticket package as long as the student fee remained unchanged.
No mention of Knopp's contract was cited in the Journal-World or Kansan reports on the subject.
Four senators voted for the measure to eliminate the fee, while two voted against it. Five senators voted to move the fee to $20. The Senate's vote is simply a recommendation to the Fee Review Committee, which will make an additional recommendation before Senate takes final action on the issue.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little can then veto a proposed change — or elimination — of the fee.
"Athletics is a big dollar business and there's a lot of big dollar amounts." Kaufman said. "I'm not going to apologize for it, it's kind of the business that we're in."

Merck, the company that makes NuvaRing, is going to pay $100 million to settle lawsuits from women who have been harmed or not warned about NuvaRing's life-threatening side effects.
Birth control options have many serious side effects
LOGAN SCHLOSSBERG
news@kansan.com
More than 60 percent of American women use contraception, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There are around 15 different birth control options that our country provides. Some of these options include the birth control pill, the Depo Provera injectable and the NuvaRing.
Guttmacher Institute says that 64 percent of women who use contraception currently use the pill, patch, intrauterine device (IUD) implant, Depo Provera shot, or the NuvaRing. However, the Depo Provera shot and NuvaRing are causing serious complications.
The NuvaRing is something that women can insert themselves, unlike an IUD or a Depo Provera shot. Over three weeks, this ring releases hormones that block sperm from getting to an egg, according to a National Public Radio health blog.

McKee said that if a woman knows enough about her body, she will be able to tell if something is wrong with a birth control method and know that it's not the choice for her.

Legal Services help students file taxes
PAIGE STINGLEY news@kansan.com
Starting in February and continuing through April, several law students and attorneys from the Legal Services for Students will provide a free service to help students file tax returns.
KU students, and those with an annual income of under $58,000 a year, have access to a program from H&R Block called myfreetaxes.com. The program is easy to use and doesn't require a knowledge of tax laws or lingo; it walks users through the process of filing for federal and state taxes.
Students can use the program on their computers, or they can come to the main Budig computer lab for workshops to get help Law students who have been trained in tax law and have taken tax classes will be at the computer labs to provide assistance. The workshops are come-and-go; students are not required to stay for the entire time.
The program makes it easy for students to file taxes, even if they don't know how, said Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney for Legal Services for Students. The process can take as few as 30 minutes.
The program is also accessible for international students, whose tax process is much different. The website has an option for international tax forms next to the option for U.S. tax forms.
Many students have already started preparing their tax forms for the upcoming FAF-
SA deadline. The program will file federal taxes first, then state taxes. Users can receive their refunds in as few as 10 days after filing.
Rob Williams, a third year law student from Manhattan, is one of the law students who is available to help in the Budig computer labs. This will be Williams' third year assisting students.
"Our job is to help answer students' questions, anything from whether or not they should itemize deductions, to deciding if they should apply for education credits...things

Study: income gap for graduates largest in 50 years
David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, said the disparity is so large because wages have stagnated for those with only high school diplomas, while the number of people going to college has continued to increase.
said. "A lot of times the better or more prepared people are getting college degrees, so they're getting paid more than they would otherwise, whereas the high school folks are struggling to get those increases."

A study from Pew Research Center released last week found that people aged 25 to 32 with a bachelor's degree made nearly $17,500 more than those with a high school diploma and no degree in 2012. Even when adjusted for inflation, this is the largest the earnings gap between the two has been in nearly 50 years.
Many often question whether a college degree is worth the rising cost of tuition, but new research shows a fouryear degree is paying off big time for young adults.
"It's always more complicated than that," he said. "What you major in is important, it is going to depend on if you went to graduate school, if you've done an internship and how many, all these different factors play into what that wage premium is going to be for a college graduate as opposed to a high school graduate. It's not black and white."
veyed said that college has al-ready paid off, and 17 percent say it will pay off in the future.
Although the numbers paint a pleasant picture for college students and graduates, Gaston is hesitant to say a bachelor's degree automatically means a well-paying job in today's job market.
According to Pew, the millennial generation is the most educated in history, with one-third of the generation having at least a bachelor's degree. As the number of college graduates has risen, the value of their degrees has as well. When adjusted for inflation, the earnings of 25-32 years-olds with bachelor's degrees has increased nearly $7,000
Evan Shinn, a sophomore from Lenexa studying Strategic Communications, said he feels confident the money he is putting toward tuition now will definitely pay off after graduation.
“It's definitely a no-brainer.” Shinn said. “Besides the money I think there's a lot of experiences you have. Your thoughts and ideas are shaped now and these cumulative years are important in how you perform after you've graduated, so you'll probably see that return.”
since 1965.
Bailey Reimer, who graduated from the University last year with a degree in American Studies and Linguistics and is now a teacher with Teach for America in Chicago, said a lot of her work involves convincing people of the value of a college education.
"I work at a school for low-income students who a lot of times have parents
who didn't go to college." Reimer said. "A lot of what we do is try to get them to have the mindset that I grew with, which is 'Of course I'll go to college, everyone goes to college.' Because the way that people take you seriously is when you earn a college degree and the way that you're ready to be successful is with a college degree."

Pew Research Center found that people aged 25-32 with a bachelor's degree made nearly $17,500 more than those with only a high school diploma and no degree, the largest the earnings gap between the two has been in nearly 50 years.
Nine in 10 young adults with a bachelor's degree said that college has already paid off or they expect it to in the future.

Duke Energy faces fine after coal spill
L47
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina's top environmental official said Monday that he briefed Gov. Pat McCrory before intervening in lawsuits against Duke Energy, resulting in a negotiated settlement that fined the $50 billion corporation $99,111 to resolve violations over groundwater contamination leaching from two huge coal ash dumps.
Environmentalists criticized the modest fines as a sweetheart deal that included no requirement to force the nation's largest electricity provider to actually clean up its pollution.
Amber Skiles, a contractor with the Environmental Protection Agency, labels water samples on Feb. 5 from the Dan River, nearby to the Duke Energy coal ash dump spill.
The state has now put its proposed settlement on hold following the massive Feb. 2 spill triggered by a pipe collapse at one of Duke's coal ash dumps adjacent to the Dan River, which turned cloudy and gray for miles.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
State Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary John Skvarla told lawmakers at an oversight hearing that he spoke with the governor before his agency used its regulatory authority to intervene in lawsuits filed by a coalition of environmental groups under the federal Clean Water Act.
"When I went to brief Gov. McCrory the initiation of those suits, he said two things," Skvarla recounted.
"He said protect the environment, and do the right thing."
But Skvarla maintains he never told McCrory, a Republican who worked for Duke for 28 years, about the proposed terms of the settlement negotiated by his agency.
The citizens groups that originally tried to sue Duke opposed the state's deal, saying it shielded the company from far harsher penalties it might have faced in federal court had the state not intervened.
Skvarla bristled at coverage of the issue by The Associated Press and other news media outlets for suggesting his agency's intervention "blocked" the environmental groups from holding Duke accountable. He said those advocates are still free to voice their concerns in court, if a judge allows.
Asked if he thought a $99,111 fine with no requirement that Duke clean up its coal ash dumps was a settlement in the best interests of the people of North Carolina, Skvarla suggested the now-scuttled deal was better than getting caught in a protracted legal

New program accelerates student startups

NEW SOLARIS PROJECTS
BRENT BURFORD/KANSAN
The KU Catalyst, a new joint project of the School of Business and the Bioscience and Technology Business Center, allows teams of students to explore their start-up ideas by providing them with space, equipment mentorship, additional education and capital.
Story summary
- Program offers space, mentorship, education, prototyping, access to capital and equipment
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
The KU Catalyst, a new joint project of the School of Business and the Bioscience and Technology Business Center, allows teams of undergrad and graduate students to explore their startup ideas by providing them with space, equipment, mentorship, additional education and capital.
- Students must be in teams and have a business plan, supply a check and prove validated customer interest to apply
According to Wallace Meyer, the director of KU's entrepreneurship programs, the goals of the program are to provide students with opportunities to "commercialize their passions" and to add to the local economy.
"It not only provides [students] with post-graduate employment, but what it also does is allows them to be their own boss, it allows them to realize their dream and it gives them a straight shot at acquiring significant financial wealth." Meyer said.
- Program is open to all KU students
- Catalyst Mission Statement: Provide the resources to achieve entrepreneurial change for students at the University of Kansas
The project responds to an increasing student demand for entrepreneurial opportunities and provides a launching point for groups.
"This millennial generation is highly interested in starting and growing their own business, so that natural growth we think will be represented in the Catalyst by there being more and more teams of students who will use the Catalyst's resources to be able to launch their businesses," Meyer said.
Teams will have access to a workspace in the BTBC building and mentorship from a board of advisors, which consists of more than 30 professionals.
WALLACE MEYER director of KU entrepreneurship programs
gram, the teams must present a business plan and show validated customer interest. Teams must also provide a check, which is spent against the business. Meyer was clear that the money doesn't go to the program, but instead is part of the business capital
In order for students to be a part of the Catalyst pro-
"It allows them to realize their dream and it gives them a straight shot at acquiring significant financial wealth,"
"They need to provide what is called in the vernacular 'skin in the game,'" Meyer said. "We are asking them to contribute to their own success by writing a check. The check won't be very much, but it is consistent with the idea that sweat equity alone won't be sufficient."
The incubator program differs from other universities' programs because it focuses on the success of the students and doesn't ask for ownership in exchange for the space.
"We are solely interested in supporting student new business start-ups and providing the resources necessary to do that without compensation," Meyer said. "For a startup company that is hard pressed for cash, that's a huge benefit."
The set-up also lends itself to expansion as the program continues to meet demand. More space will also be added in the new business building when it is completed in 2015-2016.
Because of the unique setup of the program, groups
like U-Hoops, a company that helps basketball players find a future in the sport, get access to a support system and the guidance needed to grow their business.
"It helps us to make sure we are growing in the right direction," U-Hoops member and grad student Andy Kriegh said. "It also helps having it on campus and accessible."
Grad student Lei Shi is part of a team working on a radar system that would help Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) avoid collisions so they could be used for civilian purposes. He says that because of the support system, students who have no business experience get the opportunity to bring their ideas to a
"I think if it were left purely up to us on the engineering side it would remain this dream, but I think it's important that with the Catalyst involved here we can at least take a shot at making it reality," Shi said.

ever experienced any of those with the NuvaRing," said Katie Reynolds, a sophomore from Lawrence.
According to the National Women's Health Network, Depo Provera, manufactured by Pfizer, can cause women to lose bone mineral density. This puts them at high risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures. In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a "black box warning" on the shot because of long-term use causing bone issues that could be irreversible, according to Avvo, a legal counsel website. A black box warning is the FDA's sternest warning it can issue to a product while it still remains on the market.
The Feminist Women's Health Centers of California say that women can experience depression, anemia and a higher risk of breast cancer if using Depo Provera under the age of 35.
According to the CDC, about 50 percent of pregnancies in the United States are unintended.
The Affordable Care Act has made the full range of FDA-approved prescription birth control methods free under many insurances, so women have the option to use contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
If a woman is not insured, she can apply for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act through the Health Insurance Marketplace. PlannedParenthoodHealthInsuranceFacts.org has all the information of what this law does for women and their need of birth control.
"The Affordable Care Act helps citizens take care of themselves better," McKee said. "It's emotionally and financially less of a hardship to avoid an unwanted pregnancy."

Pitbulls can recover from dogfighting days
Most dog owners take their dogs on walks without other people noticing. Unless your dog is exceptionally cute or has three legs, most people don't notice or care about your dog. Oddly enough, whenever I walk one of my dogs, people always notice and sometimes visibly react to our presence.
Dogs, like people, are individuals. It is considered inappropriate in our society, and rightfully so, to make sweeping generalizations about groups of people. Why should dogs be any different? People assume that my dogs are dangerous based solely on their appearance. It's easier for people to make generalizations than it is for them to evaluate individuals.
By Mara McAllister opinion@kansan.com
All of my dogs are pit bulls. Most people associate pit bulls with killing babies and ripping apart grandma's toy pooled. On more than one occasion, someone has seen my dog's blocky head and muscular physique and crossed the street to avoid us. What these people fail to
other pit bulls that serve as therapy dogs as well. When faced with evidence like this, opponents argue that these dogs are the exception, not the norm.
Pit bulls that have been used for dog fighting purposes have the potential to be more aggressive than a pit bull that has never known cruelty. They argue that dogs used in dogfighting are often unpredictable and liable to attack at any moment. Any kind of dog that experiences cruelty is likely to have extra baggage, but, contrary

understand is that my dogs and generally most pit bulls, are not inherently aggressive.
to popular belief, dogs used in dogfighting can be rehabilitated and given new life. Considering two of my four dogs were rescued from a dogfighting ring, I consider myself relatively knowledgeable on the issue. People not familiar with canine behavior, however, often mistakenly think aggression toward animals is the same as aggression towards humans; it's not.
I've found that people think dogs used in dogfighting are aggressive towards humans because they have exhibited aggression towards other dogs. In reality, the two types of aggression are very different and dogs used in
dogfighting are typically friendly towards humans. Both of my dogs rescued from dogfighting have never displayed aggression toward people and enjoy interacting with other dogs.
Owning pit bulls has taught me a lot of things, but the most important thing I've learned is to judge on an individual basis. Everyone, people and animals alike, is unique. It's unfair to generalize an entire population.

HEALTH
Positivity helps to overcome hardship
Sunday, Feb. 16, signified one year since I suffered my fourth concussion. Since then, I've been unable to lift weights or participate in contact sports. I've lost 25 pounds because I've only been able to exercise by running. Wednesday, Feb. 19, my doctor will clear me to resume athletics. This means my odd year will finally be over.
I sustained three of the four concussions by playing soccer over the last few years. The fourth involved taking a knee to my head during a pickup basketball game. The last two were the worst. The injury made me reconsider once again if was worth it to play sports competitively.
Yes, four is a hell of a lot of head injuries. Too many would probably be the correct terminology. As my neurologist says, permanent damage is coming into the equation. In addition to lacking physical activity, the permanent damage has affected me over the past year in ways I couldn't quite grasp before the incident occurred. From light and sound sensitivity to chronic migraines, headaches have become a daily difficulty.
For the most part, the side effects were constant throughout the past year. Thankfully, the migraines I suffered early-on don't affect me as much as they initially did. The migraines' intensity remains consistent, but occur less often.
By G.J. Melia
opinion@kansan.com
Concussions have become a hot subject over the last few years, with the multiple lawsuits by former National Football League players against the NFL for after-effects and symptoms similar to mine. I learned this while my neurologist explained to
me that sitting out for a year would be beneficial.
While headaches create a pain I've never quite felt before, the zero physical activity aspect is one of the hardest. I've played soccer since I was young, and I've been active for as long as I can remember. Being told that I couldn't play soccer—that I could hardly be active for an entire year—I didn't quite know how to react.
Now that the year is over, the worst is behind me. I can honestly say that it was worth it playing sports competitively for as long as I did.
If you're in a situation that's difficult and don't want to be in it, be patient. Everything takes time. Whether you're dealing with a loved one passing, any type of accident, or just problems with a friendship or relationship, things will get better if you work at it and stay positive.
The University of Kansas needs to revise its lockout policy. Having been in student housing several semesters in various roles, ranging from resident to desk assistant, it's time to for the University to review its approach. Right now, if a freshman is locked out of their room, they must ask for a lockout key at the front desk. Each resident is allowed one free "lockout" per semester. After this freebie is logged on a spreadsheet, a charge comes with the subsequent lockout.

KU Housing needs to revise lockout policy
By Anrenee Reasor opinion@kansan.com
How steep is this charge?
$20, and it's billed to your University account. It's nice that no cash is fisted over up front, but it's inconvenient when the invoice comes later. A $20 charge for someone with a minimum wage job is three hours of work!
Compared to other schools, KU Student Housing shows little leniency. Kansas State University allows two free lockouts per semester, and after that, the charge is only $5. Boren Hall at the University of Oklahoma has no charge for a lockout. They literally have no fee policy in place!
From a psychological standpoint, KU Student Housing wants students to view the residence
hall as their home and community. Not just room 622 as their home, but the entire building. How can I be locked out of one portion of my home and be expected to pay $20 to re-enter the room? In most residence halls, you have to leave your room to use any of the facilities. Brushing your teeth, doing laundry and showering all require leaving your room with your key. This involves gathering your shower caddy or laundry basket from your room and moving down the hall or downstairs. So is leaving my residence hall or my room officially leaving my "home?"
My friends who live off-campus, in houses or apartments, say they've never been locked out. This is probably because when they're leaving their house, they are actually leaving their "home." They aren't simply going down the hall to use the bathroom or do laundry. In one Lawrence apartment complex, residents call the office phone and fork over $25
in cash for each lockout. This policy seems closer to "real life" where we'd have to call a locksmith, but it still eases people into the transition.
Viewing it economically, it does not cost the University extra money to provide lockouts. With desks staffed 24/7, someone is always being paid to provide lockout services. A locksmith isn't called at 2 a.m. to come to your house and pick the lock. A deskie simply writes down your information and retrieves the spare key from the key box. No extra labor or resources are used. It's not as though the key is lost or the lock needs to be replaced. A student simply needs access to their room.
The University should really consider changing its policy. The fees are incredibly high for the service they're providing. The lockout policy divides the residence hall between what's your "home" and what isn't. In an ideal world, the University would offer more than one free lockout per semester, and the fee would be lower than $20. Dare I say it, but our policy should be closer to K-State's.

New 'RoboCop'has more brain than brawn
RoboCop is such an iconic movie character that a 10-foot-tall bronze statue of him is currently in production for the city of Detroit. Since the original film is a classic of the 80s, of course Hollywood would target its remake zealotry toward it now that we live in a technology-driven age, where the ideas of the movie can more fully be realized and resonate with modern audiences.
Opening with a political talk show in the vein of "The O'Reilly Factor," Samuel L. Jackson deliciously chews scenery as the right wing
CEO Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton, walking the line between corporate slimeball and savvy, personable businessman) settles on the middle ground of a half man, half machine enforcer. In comes Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), an aggressive, honest Detroit cop in critical condition after a crime boss and corrupt officers bombed his car.

ROBOCOP FROM PAGE 5
into RoboCop, who spends the rest of the film cleaning up the streets while struggling to maintain his humanity amid his robotic programming.
The original "RoboCop" is a campy, bloody action satire, while this reboot is half sci-fi actioner, half thought-provoking political thriller. Gone is the gleefully over-the-top violence (hence the PG-13 rating), most of the satirical edge and the humorous revelry in its own silliness. This new "RoboCop" isn't as entertaining, but it does prove more intriguing, as Joshua Zetumer's screenplay has the serious-minded depth and philosophical contemplation of a Philip K. Dick science-fiction story.
There's much more focus on Murphy's transformation into RoboCop and how he as well as his wife (Abbie Cornish) and young son react. When Norton shows Murphy all that's left of him, detaching the suit to reveal only his head, vital organs and his right hand, it's a shocking sight. Later, RoboCop's combat training takes on more significance than him just shooting robot targets as it's cross-cut with the revelation between Norton and Sellars that Murphy's free will in his actions is an illusion, as
By the time RoboCop is introduced to the public, Norton has virtually eradicated the human aspect of Murphy, which occurs in an interesting scene commentating on the emotional toll witnessing horrific crimes can have on a person. RoboCop immediately starts his assault on crime, very much welcomed at nearly an hour in, since it's paced a bit slowly before that.
Brazilian director Jose Padilha brings more weight to the smarter side of the story, where OmniCorp officials and Murphy's scientific controllers discuss the political, commercial and moral sides of what they're doing with him. The action, cool as it may be, can leave viewers wanting more bad-assery and explosive violence. This new RoboCop is no longer big and hulking in design and movement, but slim, slick and quick. He's so efficient that the action tends to move so fast there isn't always enough time to savor it.
However, watching him speed through the city on his motorcycle, adroitly weaving through traffic, is an awesome joy reminiscent of Batman on the Batpod. Seeing his view, as he accesses security footage, facial recognition, GPS data and more to locate criminals instantaneously, is at once exciting and scary to
think of as a reality, bringing to mind contemporary NSA surveillance.
Choosing a relative unknown for the lead and filling in with lots of recognizable supporting players results in elevated acting, and Kinnaman's performance brings more heart and intensity to the role.
the computer in him takes over.
But missing from this "RoboCop" is a strong central villain. In the original, Murphy's murderer served as the main bad guy, a memorable thug played by Kurtwood Smith (Red from "That '70s Show"). As Murphy begins regaining control and goes out to solve his murder in the third act, there are more complex threads going on than simple revenge this time. The real villains here are corruption and OmniCorp's agenda, but that's not as easy for viewers to hate. The finale definitely satisfies, at least.
This "RoboCop" doesn't surpass the original, but it does accomplish a new take on the character that adds to his mythos instead of taking away from his legacy. And for a remake, that's pretty good.

BLACK BOX FROM PAGE 5
It opens with Popov on the seven-month anniversary of her husband's death, mourning in her drawing room. Her footman, Luka (played by Sophia Hail, a junior from Tulsa, Okla.) is urging her to move on with her life, but Popov resolves to remain faithful to her husband's memory. They're interrupted by the boisterous Grigori Smirnov (played by Joshua Greene, a junior from Albany, Mo.), who bursts into the house demanding to be paid a sum that Popov's late husband owed him. He needs the money immediately to pay a mortgage, but Popov refuses to acquiesce. An outrageous argument ensues, but their initial contempt for one another slowly turns into a realization of love.
The play's intended satirical and comedic feel were wellhandled by the actors. It doesn't seem to have been intended to be laugh-outloud funny, but Hadel and Greene achieved an onstage rapport that served as a great illustration of the sarcastic extremes of the two sexes. Hadel's commanding theatrical presence wittily clashed with Greene's stiff humor, and the two fed off each other's lines well. Greene's acting was a bit cosmetic at times, but he still managed to achieve an acceptable level of theiatric harmony with his character. Hail pulled off a quick-witted, fresh performance as the snappy butler, Luka.
☆☆☆☆
follows the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who seeks to avenge his father's death after he was murdered by Claudius, Hamlet's uncle. This story, though widely known, is not familiar enough to the layman for the way it was depicted by Black Box Productions. All three variations, though each achieving some level of theatric relevance, were difficult to follow.
Antic Disposition: Variations of Hamlet
The 15-Minute Hamlet:
"Hamlet" was depicted in three wildly different interpretations by a new set of six actors in this segment. The Shakespearean tragedy
As the funniest and most enjoyable one of the three, this depiction showcased the actors' impressive abilities to combine humor, drama and creativity during a time crunch. An audience member was given a stopwatch, and the actors raced to condense the more than 30,000-word play into a 15-minute frame. Time was called with about a minute and a half to spare, a notable achievement.
"There's a frenetic quality to the script I am attracted to," director Devlin said in a news release from the University department of theater.
"I believe it provides an appropriate level of challenge for the undergraduate students while also putting pressure on me to direct in very specific circumstances."
★★★☆
The Dick and Jane Hamlet:
This depiction was told like a children's story. The actors took on kiddle voices and demeanors, and behaved like they were performing the dark tale for a bunch of toddlers. Think "The Wiggles" meets Shakespeare. It was a clever idea, but not well executed. The goofy hand gestures, antics and voices got to be a bit much after a couple minutes, and parts were actually hard to watch. The plot line was a bit more clear this time, but still
hard to follow. "The simple and humorous design of this text lends itself to imaginative elaboration," Tiehen said in a news release. "For the actors involved, this production's collaboration will insist that their participation goes beyond the traditional expectations for an actor."
★★☆☆☆
Hamletmachine
This interpretation, originally written by German playwright Heiner Müller in 1977, was wild. It's an abstract piece of postmodern drama that's totally left up to audience interpretation. It's loosely about Hamlet refusing to be Hamlet anymore, perhaps because he's expected to act as a puppet for audiences to enjoy. Mayhem ensues, and the actors begin running around howling, humming, making puke noises, laughing hysterically and throwing props all over the place. It's has 1960's "fight-the-power" feel to it, but the play is so wildly vague that it's almost impossible to decipher. The Black Box actors performed at a high level, however, and did a great job of bringing out some kind of subtle beauty in the chaos. "I love the potential this play provides to explore different issues of gender, sex, violence, communism, feminism, academia and politics, within the realm of representation," director Knowles said in a news release. "The focused-on themes or motifs will be determined while working with the actors. We, as a cast, will decide what our Hamletmachine will be about."

New Penn State president will help deal with scandal
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAN
STATE COLLEGE. Pa
Eric Barron, left, answers questions from the media after being unanimously voted in to become the University's 18th president, Monday in State College, Pa. Barron replaces current Penn State President Rodney Erickson, who will retire this summer.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, FU. — Eric Barron, a former professor and dean at Penn State University and president of Florida State University, was chosen Monday to lead Pennsylvania's largest university as it continues grappling with fallout from the Jerry Sandusky' scandal. He'll bring with him the experience of managing a major state university known as much for its for storied athletic program as its academic mission, as well as the fallout from a sex-abuse scandal with ties to big-time college football.
Penn State trustees unanimously approved the selection at a special meeting in State College after a 15-month search process in which university officials had kept the new president's identity secret, refusing to confirm whether Barron was even being considered until the meeting began.
Barron, who worked at Penn State for 20 years, including four as dean of its College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, will succeed President Rodney Erickson, who plans to retire when his contract expires in June. Barron is getting a five-year contract worth $1 million a year and will start in May, if not sooner.
Erickson, Penn State's former provost and executive vice president, was named president in November 2011 after then-president Graham Spanier was forced out following child molestation accusations against Sandusky, a former assistant football coach. Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence after being convicted in 2012 of 45 counts for the sexual abuse of 10 boys.
Spanier was later charged in an alleged cover-up.
Barron called the Sandusky scandal painful and saddening but focused on the changes it has brought.
What I see is an institution that has really taken control of compliance and is no doubt now a model university that I think a lot of other universities are going to look at and say this is way we should be operating to make sure we do things the right way," he told reporters after the vote.
Barron is expected to lead Penn State through the trial of Spanier and two other former administrators who were accused of a criminal coverup. A trial date has not been scheduled.
Barron said he never met Sandusky while working at Penn State, and he sidestepped a question about what the university should do regarding the late former head coach Joe Paterno, still a sensitive topic on campus and among alumni.
"Whatever we do, we have to make sure that we do it with a high sense of dignity and honor," Barron said. "Sometimes that takes time."
During his four years at Florida State, Barron has been an aggressive advocate for increased state funding and academic recognition for the university. He shocked FSU trustees Saturday by publicly talking about leaving the school in a newspaper interview in Florida.
Barron's academic career took off at Penn State. He joined the university's faculty in 1986 as director of the Earth System Science Center and associate professor of geosciences. In 2002, he was elevated from director of the university's Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS) Environment
Institute to dean of the school's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.
"Eric's track record as an accomplished educator, researcher, administrator, and internationally recognized
at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2008, Barron became director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., where years earlier, he was a geology graduate student. Two years

Like Penn State, FSU has recently dealt with a football scandal.
later, he moved on to Florida State, where he became the university's 14th president.
In 2006, Barron left State College to become dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences
Last fall, redshirt quarterback Jameis Winston became one of the biggest attractions in college football, winning the Heisman trophy and leading the Seminoles to the national title.

But in November, a year-old sexual assault complaint against Winston became public and was passed along by Tallahassee police to the Florida state attorney's office for a full investigation. A Florida State student claims Winston raped her. Winston's attorney has said the sex was consensual. Prosecutors did
not find enough evidence to charge him with a crime and the case was closed Dec. 5, two days before the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
After no charges were to be filed, Barron issued a strong statement.
Recent weeks have provided a painful lesson, as we have witnessed harmful speculation and inappropriate conjecture about this situation and the individuals involved. As a result, we have all been hurt," Barron said. "A respect for the principle of due process is essential to the integrity of our community. Our commitment to each and every one of our students is unwavering and will remain our priority."

With the return of Embiid, Jayhawks can't underestimate Red Raiders or get into foul trouble KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH FEB. 18, 7 P.M., UNITED SPIRIT ARENA, LUBBOCK, TEXAS

KU
T
AT A GLANCE
Texas Tech is not some chump team that will roll over and allow the Jayhawks an easy rout in their house. The Red Raiders have proven they can stand with the big guns of the Big 12. Texas Tech defeated both Baylor in Waco, Texas and Oklahoma State in Lubbock, Texas this season. The Jayhawks haven't played well on the road in the Big 12 this season, and Kansas needs to stay almost perfect in the Big 12 to win the conference title.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ellis has been playing well laterly, but he will have to continue his hot streak while Embiid is taking shots in the paint. He might see fewer attempts in the paint compared to the past two games, which means he will have to make each shot count. If he can use the double team to his advantage by finding the open guy, Kansas can be very dangerous.
Perry Ellis

QUESTION MARKS
Can freshmen Joel Embiid get back to star form?
After taking time off for injuries, Embibid will show if he is capable of playing long minutes again. He wasn't effective running the court against West Virginia and Kansas State, which showed that his injuries bothered him. If Embibid can play long minutes, then Texas Tech will have problems matching up against Kansas' size.

STARTERS
BENETT JOHNSON
Naadir Tharpe, guard
The numbers don't lie about how Tharpe played against TCU. He played 20 minutes and missed all three of his field goal attempts, which were all 3-pointers. Tharpe committed one turnover, and didn't do a good job facilitating the basketball. He did have four assists, one of which led to a Perry Ellis slam. Defensively, he's constantly beat off the dribble against opposing point guards. The Kysan Andersen scored 21 points in the first half with Tharpe guarding him.
BERTON
Wayne Selden, Jr., guard
No one knows which Selden will appear on the court every game. Is Wayne hot or is he cold? Selden's game depends on his ability to get to the free-throw line. Against West Virginia on Feb. 8, he hit four out of five free throws and finished with 17 points. The following game against Kansas State on Feb. 10, he didn't attempt a single free throw, and he finished with a season-low two points. His free-throw line stats show how aggressive he is with his offense. When he becomes a shooter instead of a driver, he doesn't take as many trips to the line.
★★★☆
★★★☆☆
YONES ELLIS
Andrew Wiggins, guard
TEXAS TECH (13-12, 5-7 Big 12)
A sub-par game against TCU was expected from Wiggins. He hit six of eight from inside 20 feet. Wiggins still misses open looks beyond the arc. His best play is around the rim, where he can show off his athletic ability. Coming off seven double-digit scoring performances in eight games, he has kept his offense constant. The past has shown that the Jayhawks don't need Wiggins to score a lot for them to win because Kansas has many offensive weapons, but he is an irreplaceable defender.
★★★★
FABIO MAYORAL
Perry Ellis, forward
After a career-high 32-point game, the sophomore said he was on a roll. Ellis is averaging 25 points in the past two contests, and has held the front court down while freshmen Joel Embild rested due to injury. Ellis will see fewer opportunities in the paint with Embild's return, but he has shown he could extend his game way from the basket. Ellis was 2-for-2 from beyond the arc against TCU on Saturday. One aspect of his game that needs work is his post defense. He gets out-muscelled in the paint and isn't fast enough to guard wing players.
PETER DAVIS
★★★★★
Joel Embiid, center
The one game off to rest his knee and back injuries should help Embid get back to beginning of the year form. Coach Seif he said expects Embid to play 25 minutes against Texas Tech. Embid was averaging 12 points in the first seven Big 12 conference games, but only averaged seven points a game in the last four conference games. If Embid can't get anything good, look for coach Self to replace him with senior center Tarik Black or sephomore forward Jamari Traylor, who have been playing well in Embid's absence.
☆☆☆
STARTERS
DANIEL HALLMAN
Jave Crockett, forward
The team's leading scorer and rebounder is coming off a 23-point, 11-rebound performance against Iowa State on Saturday. He is an efficient shooter and ranks third in the league in field goal percentage and fourth in free throw percentage. The senior has shot especially well from the foul line in his last five games, where he made 27 of his last 29 attempts.
★★★☆
YOU CAN BE A PROFESSOR IN MARKETING.
Dejan Kravic, forward
A seven-footer, Kravic has averaged just over two points per game over his last three outings. He is more of a presence of the defensive end and ranks ninth in the league averaging 1.2 blocks a game.The Canadian scored 20 points in his last game against Kansas in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament last season.
★★☆★★
M. MICHAEL AWONDY
Jordan Tolbert, forward
Tolbert averages almost 11 points per game but hasn't reached that total in his last five games. This could be caused by his inability to get to the free-throw line, where he attempted just five foul shots during that stretch. Like Crockett, Tolbert is an efficient scorer, shooting 56-percent from the field. He ranks second on the team in points and rebounds.
★★★★☆
M. OLIVANI
Robert Turner, guard
Coming off knee and hand injuries, Fields has excelled Turner leads the Red Raiders in assists and steals. His 1.36 steals per game rank as the fourth best in the conference. The junior has reached double figures in only one of his last six games and made just three 3-pointers during that span. He has been the most successful in conference play when he can get to the free-throw line.
★★★☆☆
Mike A.
Toddrick Gotcher, guard
The only underclassman in the starting lineup, Gotcher tied a season-high with 11 field goal attempts in his last game against Iowa State when he scored 14 points and broke a stretch of five straight games without scoring in double figures.

One of the biggest surprises in the conference this season, the Red Raiders have proven that they are capable of competing with the league's best teams. Texas Tech nearly erased an 18-point deficit at Iowa State on Saturday and defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Okla. in the team's previous game.

Weis grabs more talent late in recruiting season
Things did not look particularly good midway through the 2014 recruiting season for
Kansas football. Three front-line players, running back Traevohn Wrench, linebacker Kyron Watson and center Jacob Bragg, gave reason for optimism with their early verbals, but then the well ran dry for quite a while. By Dec. 1, Kansas had only secured eight of its 25 commitments, for a recruiting class it had been working on for more than nine months. Time was ticking with the numbers well short of the end goal, and coming from a three-win season. Heading into his third year as coach, the pressure began to mount for Charlie Weis to get the ball rolling. Did he ever.
Weis get the start of December until today, Weis and his staff made up ground — fast. In about 60 days, the staff put their noses to the grindstone and rattled off 15 commitments, nine in the month of January and six in the final two weeks.
By Daniel Harmsen sports@kansan.com
Weis and recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell might have saved their best for last, reeling in running back Corey Avery on Feb. 3. Kansas beat out the likes of Baylor, Kansas State, LSU, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia, among others, for Avery's talent
"You could pick any position and he could be good at any of them."
Weis said of Avery, inside the Mrkonic Auditorium at the Anderson Family Football Complex, during his news conference Thursday. "He is not just a good athlete, he is a good football player. I'm a big fan."
Including Avery, Kansas dipped into its recruiting hotbed, Texas, the reservoir of talented, overlooked players, with 10 of its 25 signees from the Lone Star State.
"In the state of Texas, the one good thing you have going for you is you're going to have to play several times in the state of Texas every year," Weis added. "So, if they come here, they know they're still playing at home."
The key to getting them to come here, though, is getting them to visit the campus.
"Kansas is a wonderful school." Weis said. "Once we get them here and they see what we have to offer, about 75 percent of the time we end up getting them." Of those athletes who have been
+
able to have visit, Kansas added three from California, two from Arizona, two from Georgia, one from Florida, one from Illinois, one from Missouri, one from Oklahoma, and two Kansans (Wrench and Lawrence-native Joe Dineen). In all, the Jayhawks signed one quarterback, two running backs, six wide-receivers, four offensive linemen, six defensive linemen, two linebackers and four defensive backs.

cars and four buildings.
"We had so many holes last year
In the past few classes, Kansas overdosed on junior college players because they needed immediate help, but now Weis has the luxury of recruiting possibly more talented high school athletes and developing them for long-term success in the system.
"We had so many holes last year that we didn't even have a first guy at some positions," Weis said.
"Last year's class was filling a bunch of holes. Going forward, this class is the way we want to recruit," Weis said. The recruiting class was ranked 55th in the nation and ninth in the Big 12
This year, Kansas signed 15 high school athletes, as opposed to just nine in last year's class. The influx of high school players this year may not be immediately, but the added young talent should pay off down the road.
according to recruiting database rivals.com, and 47th in the nation according to espn.com. Kansas also gained a commitment from a player with an offer from every single Big 12 school. Along with the
23 players who signed letters of intent, Kansas added former five-star, tight end and wide receiver Kent Taylor, a transfer from the University of Florida, and T.J. Millweard, a quarterback from UCLA.
If you are looking for a way to identify the 2014 signees, look no further than your Twitter feed. The group has adopted the slogan "#PlayforDre," in honor of the late Andre Maloney, a Kansas commit from Shawnee Mission West High School who passed away after suffering a stroke following a touchdown. Several recruits grew close with Maloney on visits, and look to commemorate him through their four years in Lawrence.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
Kansas imperfect, but dominant
COMMENTARY
By Ben Ashworth
sports@kansan.com
Kansas made less than 60 percent of its free throws, its point guard didn't score and its defense allowed 40 first-half points to the team last in the Big 12 in offense.
+ v
The Jayhawks shot 26 percent from beyond the 3-point line and committed 10 more fouls than TCU. Starting center Tarik Black picked up two fouls in the first two minutes. They were missing potential number-one pick Joel Embiid and a valuable 3-point marksman in suspended guard Brannen Greene.
Did I mention that Kansas won by 30? Sorry for misleading you.
Granted, this game was against the Horned Frogs, the Pluto of the Big 12: You have to debate whether they really belong. But it was still impressive to see how good this Kansas team can be, even with some statistical deficiencies.
Kansas dominated every aspect of the game. If this were Little League, TCU would have been mercy-ruled and given a good job,good effort cup of lemonade.
The first half was some of the worst basketball Kansas has played this year. Kansas fans grimaced as the Jayhawks' first six free throws clanked off the rim. TCU point guard Kyan Anderson continually dribbled past Naadir Tharpe. Yet, somehow, Kansas ran into the locker room with three players scoring in double figures and a seven-point lead.
seven point haul The second half showed the performance Kansas is capable of. Kansas didn't just outplay TCU in the last 20 minutes; Kansas demolished TCU, and the players looked like they were having a blast doing it.
Perry Ellis was hitting from everywhere on the floor. Of his two misses, one was rebounded by — you guessed it — Perry Ellis and put back in for a score. The other was blocked
Kansas turned up the defensive intensity in the second half. This was what was absent from the loss in Manhattan. The opening 10 seconds of the second half set the tone. TCU got trapped in the backcourt by a pair of Jayhawk defenders and burned a timeout in the first five seconds. After the timeout, Wayne Selden, Jr., intercepted a bad pass before TCU even passed the half-court line. Kansas threw in spontaneous presses and put multiple defenders on Anderson to keep him guessing. TCU also lacked depth, and Kansas has a deep bench.
In addition to the defense, Kansas' offense seemed more fluid. Four players had four or more assists. TCU plays lazier zone defense than Kansas usually faces, but this was accentuated by Kansas' crisp grasp, especially from Ellis.
In many people's eyes, this win has an asterisk next to it. This is known as the "TCU asterisk."
Nevertheless, while far from perfect, Kansas played loose and dominated.
And that needs no asterisk

Jayhawks face seasoned Red Raiders
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
Kansas (19-6, 10-2) may be playing the seventh ranked team in the conference on Tuesday, but that doesn't mean much in this year's Big 12.
Texas Tech (13-12, 5-7) overcame a rocky start to league play and has won three of its last four games with a couple noteworthy wins against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. Its lone loss came at Iowa State on Saturday after the team nearly erased an 18-point deficit.
"They're on a roll right now," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "They're playing great."
Despite winning just three conference games last year, the Red Raiders are a veteran team led by a veteran coach, which is usually a formula for success. They do not have a freshman in the starting lineup and start four upperclassmen, led by senior guard Jaye Crockett with 14.8 points a game. A big reason for the team's turnaround has been the guidance of new coach Tubby Smith, who has 524 career wins and a national championship on his resume. He took over the Texas Tech program after a six-year stint with the University of Minnesota
"Tubby's done a fabulous job, he and his staff," Self said. "They're playing hard."
The team's most impressive win of the season came against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., on Feb. 12 when the Red Raiders held the second-highest team in the conference to just 60 points on its home court. The Red Raiders beat two ranked teams at home this season former No. 12 Baylor and former No. 19 Oklahoma State. No. 8 Kansas will be at full strength for the first time in several weeks.
The Jayhawks should get a
boost from the return of freshman center Joel Emibiid, who sat out against Texas Christian University on Saturday with knee and back injuries. Emibiid practiced on Sunday in his first court action since playing 18 minutes in the loss to Kansas State on Feb. 10.
Embiid isn't the only player who has missed a game recently. Sophomore forward Jamari Traylor sat out the Kansas State game due to disciplinary issues but returned against TCU and scored 10 points in limited minutes. Freshman guard Brannen Greene didn't play against the Horned Frogs for similar reasons, but is expected to be available for Texas Tech on Tuesday.
Sophomore forward Perry Ellis was named the co-Big 12 Player of the Week after averaging 25.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in his last two games.
"I really got into a rhythm," Ellis said. "I was not forcing shots."
Against TCU, Ellis scored a career-high 32 points, made 13 of 15 shots and distributed a career-high five assists.
a three high five "He takes good shots and makes them," freshman guard Andrew Wiggins said. "He's aggressive enough and he always involves his teammates."
Kansas has won seven of the last eight meetings against Texas Tech, including its past two games at United Spirit Arena. But the Jayhawks haven't been invincible in Lubbock in the Self era. Before winning its last two games on the Red Raiders' home court, Kansas lost the previous three meetings.
"We know how hard it is to win there," Self said. "It'll be a totally different atmosphere from anything we've seen down there."

Junior right fielder Connor McKay finished the fourgame series the same way he started it: crushing a two-run bomb over the fence. Clinging to a 2-0 lead against Brigham Young University in the top of the eighth, McKay dug in with two outs and a man on, before popping one over the right fence to take a 4-0 lead.
"It always feels good to get off to a strong start, especially when it comes to driving in runs in tough situations." McKay said, "I like the responsibility skip has given me, it's nice to have hitters in the line-up like Suitor, Tharp, and Hernandez who can also provide a punch in clutch situations."
The two-out bomb sparked a six-run, ninth inning for the layhawks as they won the final game of the series 10-1 to complete the sweep over BYU. Jeff Barker pitched for the Cougars in the final game. He pitched against the layhawks last spring, picking up a win when the Cougars beat the layhawks 6-3 on March 23, 2013. Shortstop Justin Protocio led
Shortstop Justin Protacio led off the game with a single but
Barker recovered. He allowed three hits and struck out six batters in seven innings. Unfortunately for Barker, the three Kansas hits outside Protocio's single led to runs.
Michael Suitor singled to bring home Dalton Smith in the sixth. Ka'iana Eldredge, the lone Jayhawk with two hits, singled to left to bring home co-Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, Aaron Hernandez, for a 2-0 lead through seven. "What impressed me the most was that all those runs with two outs, somebody different stepped up and had the clutch hit," said Kansas coach Ritch Price.
Junior right-hander Drew Morovick took the mound for Kansas, earning his first start this season. In 2013 he started just three games, but compiled a 4-3 record through 20 appearances. He pitched 2.2 innings against BYU last season, allowing three hits and striking out two
"There was more confidence because I remember facing some of those guys last year, and being the Monday starter, I knew some of their tendencies, after watching them all weekend," said Motovick.
Morovick faced 29 Cougars through $7 \frac{1}{3}$ innings. He allowed one run off three hits and struck out five batters to earn his first win of the year.
Kansas pitcher Jordan Piché relieved Morovick in the seventh inning. The preseason Stopper of the Year candidate got himself out of a jam in the eighth. With the bases loaded Piché got the Cougars to hit into a 4-6-3 double play
to get back in the dugout, before the six run inning by the jayhawks in the ninth. "It's always comforting when Piché comes into the game," Morovick said. "I was a little frustrated when (Price) took me out, but I knew once he went Piché we were going to lock the game down, and go for the sweep."
The Jayhawks return home for the week after yesterday's
series sweep. They'll look to build on their 4-0 start this weekend when they travel to Port Charlotte, Fla., for another four-game weekend in the Snowbird Classic. Kansas' first game is scheduled against Northwestern on Friday.

FEES
University works to replenish overdrafted student funds
MIKE VERNON
news@kansan.com
A 2011-12 University error resulted in the Kansas Athletics department receiving nearly $45,000 in extra money from a student-fee-funded account, most of which has been paid back to Student Senate.
The account is funded by the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports fee, a required semesterly payment of $25 benefitting travel for women's and non-revenue sports at Kansas. In 2011-12, the year the overdraft occurred, Kansas Athletics' travel expenses rose by more than $1 million.
In a Monday meeting, an Advisory Board overseeing the fee recommended that the
current $25 fee either be eliminated or lowered to $20.
Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony declined to comment on the overdraft, saying the University had better information on the subject.
University of Kansas spokesman Jack Martin stressed via email that Kansas Athletics does not handle the distribution of the student fee money.
"The student funds are disbursed to Kansas Athletics every 60 days automatically," Martin said. "Kansas Athletics does not control the timing or the amount of the disbursements."
Martin said the fee payments are handled by the Comp- troller's office and ultimately
overseen up the academic chain by the Provost's Office. Martin added that the University noticed the error in March of 2013 and addressed the problem the following summer.
"All I know is that every so often throughout the year we [Athletics] will receive a wire transfer from the University, and at the end of the year we add up the amount of wires and call it 'revenue' on our books." Kaufman said in the email. "Seems that whoever at the University is responsible for calculating the amount of these wires may have over calculated it at some point(s)?"
SEE ATHLETICS PAGE 2
When Marcus Tetwiler took office as student body president in August of 2013, the error had not yet been addressed, according to emails obtained by the Kansan. Tetwiler emailed Pat Kaufman, CFO of Kansas Athletics, when he noticed a negative balance of $44,704.96 in the account pertaining to the fee.

Student groups receive funding
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
Twenty-four student organizations received a piece of the Educational Opportunity Fund for the 2014- 2015 school year totaling $275,000.
The objective of the EOF is to financially support persons of diversity across campus to allow them to remain within their programs of interest through scholarships or employment through organizations. More than $50,000 was requested and the amounts designated to each group were carefully decided by the EOF Board, Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler said.
"It's really cool to see these departments come in and say how important it is to have persons of diversity within their program and the values that it brings not only to their department but to the university community as a whole," Tetwiler said.
Each organization made a brief presentation to the board with a proposal of the use of funds along with numbers in the specific department. Some organizations received close to the amount requested while others received only a fraction. Funds were not allocated to the HawkLink
Writing Fellows and the Spencer Art Museum.
The amount available to distribute is budgeted the previous year based on enrollment and the student senate activity fee. Amounts are deliberated by the board and were presented on Tuesday to the organizations.
The EOF Board is made up of the student body president, a representative from the Dean of Students Office, a representative from the Office of Student Financial Aid, the finance committee vice chair, the Student Senate treasurer and between three and six appointed students.
Alternative Breaks received $2,850 of the requested $60,902. Historically the organization has received $14,000 for scholarships and director compensation, said co-director Hannah Sitz, a senior from Andover.
Hilltop Child Development Center was one of many groups who received funds close to the amount requested.
"I think Student Senate goes right in line with what our mission is to continue to offer services for families," Betham Smith, executive director of Hilltop, said.

City postpones proposal on bed bugs treatments
Lawrence city commissioners stalled on a proposal concerning the treatment of bed bugs because of cost concerns. The policy would require hotels, motels and rental properties to hire professional exterminators rather than giving the job to maintenance men.
YU KYUNG LEE
news@kansan.com
Bed bugs — these blood-sucking pests have been on the city's radar for the past couple of years.
But as the city commissioners were set to pass a more stringent policy on bed bug treatments last week, a halting question was asked: Who pays?
It is an expensive problem that no one wants to claim responsibility for. For a two-bedroom apartment, the costs of bed bug treatment can range from $300 to $1200.
While property managers may want to relegate the job
"Right now there is nothing that says that," said Brian Jimenez, city code enforcement manager. "Couple times the maintenance men do something, but that's not enough. So we are going to give out pretty detailed expectations on our policy, what we think we want people to do."
to the maintenance men rather than hire professionals, bed bugs are hard to eradicate with the cheaper chemical treatment. That was why the proposed policy requires hotels, motels and rental units to get a licensed exterminator within three days of a bed bug complaint.
"It's hard to find fault in anybody and to prove it as their fault would be very very difficult, so in our cases we have fronted the cost of treating the bed bugs." Cedarwood manager Joshua Aarnes said. "It's written in our agreement. They can be held responsible if they do have bed bugs and don't report them, however. We just ask that they report it whether to the city or to us."
While tenants at Cedarwood have incentives to report it, if the tenants are solely respon-
When there were bed bug outbreaks at Cedarwood, the management rather than the tenants paid for professional
While some lease agreements, like those at Cedarwood apartments, specify who would pay in the case of bed bugs, many do not.
The problem with determining who pays is that it is hard for landlords to prove that the tenants are responsible for bringing in the bed bugs. It could be that tenants bring it home from their friends' house or from used furniture and mattresses. It could also be that old tenants brought the bugs in but left without reporting it.

Robert Brown
"They can look like flea bites or other things that people usually don't notice when they get bitten; they usually chew on the skin a little bit and it's not like a severe stinging bite. They sometimes move from place to place and that may be a distinguishing feature—you may get several bites in a line on an exposed area of skin."
How do you identify bed bug bites?
"Some people might not notice for several days, and if they were in a place that was infested, they would be getting more and more. That would be another clue."

Stenger, a 2011 graduate, said her professors were accommodating during the pregnancy, but she felt there was a negative reaction when she returned to class after giving birth.
As to the prevalence of pregnancy on campus, the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access does not keep track of this issue. This is considered a matter of privacy, and according to McQueeny, there are several

However, Sears' sister, Stenger, said she experienced a change after returning from her pregnancy.
"I didn't know where to turn. It's just unfortunate that as a student I was paying tens of thousands of dollars to be denied my education."
According to University policies, pregnancy discrimination is a recognized form of gender discrimination.

"I personally didn't notify the University officially, but I had a couple of professors who were very lenient," Sears said. "I did have to get special notice to get hours out of the way to graduate early, but everyone was really accommodating."
"Title IX is supposed to protect students. My understanding was whatever amount of time you missed, that's the same amount of time you are allowed to make up. I wasn't given that opportunity by some of the professors I had," Stenger said. "I felt like I was making every effort that I could."
Stenger was hesitant to address the issue with the University. The fear that she would be making it harder for herself to finish after already completing three and a half years of college restricted her from seeking help.
"I never pursued anything

"In a private home, they are going to get rid of it because they don't want to get bit all the time. The rental people, they can just get up and move," said City Commissioner Terry Riordan, who is also a pediatrician. "We definitely don't want the rental people to get up and move because they are going to move and infect the new unit."

who is going to pay us. Many times if it's going to be the tenant, the tenant may not come up with it and we don't want to be chasing our money down either."
"We don't want to create a situation that's unfair to the landlord, but we also need to keep the bedbugs into becoming a significant problem for the city of Lawrence," Riordan said.
Within two or three weeks, a new proposal dealing with the costs will be presented.
Reported incidences of bed. bugs started a couple years of ago. Currently, the city has records of bed bugs at the Howard Johnson hotel, the Days Inn on Iowa Street, the Gazebo apartments and the Cedarwood apartments.
There were other reported instances in single, detached homes, but the city doesn't have a policy in place that keeps record, Jimenez said.
The rise in cases prompted the need for a policy to be put in place.
"Because of the significant increase in the number of cases we've gotten, it became apparent that we need to address this issue rather than let it get out of control because these are little insects that can cause a significant spread," Riordan said.
"As a pediatrician, I have taken about half a dozen people who had bug bites and they are pretty uncomfortable and they are fairly painful," Riordan said. "It's not anything anybody would want to live with."
Bed bugs can lay dormant for months and even years without food and water. They also spread very easily through clothes, used furniture and old mattresses.

plained, the University made a mistake in the late fiscal year 2011 causing the overdraft of student-fee money.
— Edited by Duncan McHenry
David Catt, the chairman of the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Advisory Board, recommended lowering or eliminating the fee, and stressed that he does not feel Athletics was aware of this overdraft and that the Advisory Board did not discuss the overdraft in its meetings.
The University agreed to transfer $35,999.52 to cover the shortfall, reducing the amount Athletics received in the fall. The remaining $8,705.44 was not addressed in the emails. There was no interest added to the virtual loan from the student body. Tetwiler said the overdraft has been replenished.

University students help plant trees near Fraser Hall last year for the Replant Mount Oread project. This year, the KU Environs Club and the Center of Sustainability are raising funds to plant 14 trees on the Stauffer-Flint lawn.
Campus club raises money for tree replacement project
MIRANDA DAVIS news@kansan.com
Students from the KU Enviroons Club will be raising money during the last two weeks of February to kick start this year's Replant Mount Oread initiative. Fundraising has already started with coffee cans decorated as trees placed in student housing locations. Replant Mount Oread is working to raise $5,000 to replant approximately 14 trees on the lawn in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
Replant Mount Oread is a project that includes two weeks of fundraising as well as two weeks of tree education before the official replant date on April 11. The Replant Mount Oread project is through the Center of Sustainability and partners with the KU Environs Club. They are working to replant the trees on campus, particularly Jayhawk Boulevard.
Emma Donachie, a senior from Dallas, Texas, and preservation group coordinator for Replant Mount Oread, said the group's focus this year is replacing the infected ash trees on the Stauffer-Flint lawn.
"It's important to have a little bit of green space to bring us
back to nature." Donachie said. Donachie said the Emerald Ash Borer beetle has infested some of the ash trees on the lawn and that the trees will die in a matter of years. She said the group plants to plant a variety of species in their place, including oak and hickory trees.
The trees they are planting will be more mature than saplings and will be completely self-sufficient once planted. They won't require additional care by the group.
Before the trees are planted however, the group will also have tables at various locations around campus to educate the student body about the project and why it's important to have trees on campus.
"Many trees originally planted on campus have been removed due to disease and storm damage." Blake Hamilton, a senior from Topeka and Replant Mount Oread committee member, said. "Right now almost half of the trees in front of Stauffer-Flint, specifically the Ash Elm trees are infected with Emerald Ash Borer beetle and are likely to die."
used to be completely shaded by a canopy of elm trees. Replant Mount Oread is working to replace trees faster than they are dying and restore the campus to when it was full of trees.
"The addition of trees on campus not only helps the environment, but also makes the campus look better," Hamilton said.
Donachie emphasized how lucky the University was to have areas like Marvin's Grove, where there is a lot of wildlife close to campus. She wants to work to bring more nature back to campus.
The KU Environons Club members said in the 1950s there were many more trees on campus and Jayhawk Boulevard
The group picks a different location each year and last year they planted redbuds in front of Fraser. Donachie said that out of the 71 trees the University lost this year, only 52 were replanted.
"It's important for us to maintain a balance between green spaces and developing the University," Donachie said.
Hamilton said students can get involved by going to the Center of Sustainability website and sign up to volunteer or find out more information at the tables set up on campus in the coming weeks.
Professor publishes book on minority gender differences

MADDY MIKINSKI news@kansan.com
In the political world, candidates are always striving towards getting the minority vote. They attend special events and make speeches aimed at particular minorities.
Associate political science professor Christina Bejarano has seen this practice and researched the subject. She has already published two books and numerous articles relating to the nature of female Hispanic-American voters in the United States today.Her most recent book "The Latino Gender Gap in U.S. Politics" released last December, examines the diversity within the Hispanic-American population and how it influences American politics.
Bejarano's research found that minority women participate more in voting than minority men. Also, she discovered that minority women were more likely to vote for the Democratic Party than their male counterparts.
"The aim of the book was to look at race and ethnicity and how it influences politics", Bejarano said. "There aren't many books that look at the additional gender differences."
"I think Bejarano's research is a very important new direction for understanding the role of Latina politics and Latina politicians in the U.S." Political science professor Hannah Britton said. "I think her work has had an important impact on scholars in our field because it helps us all rethink our previ-
This research, while important to the scholastic community, is also being used in the classroom. Bejarano, who teaches a course on women in politics, uses her findings in her lectures.

"The aim of the book was to look at race and ethnicity and how it influences politics. There aren't many books that look at the additional gender differences."
"I try to let the students know the different ways to look at women in politics," she said.

ous ideas."
In recent years, changes have been made by Student Senate to bring about a more diverse atmosphere. An International Graduate Student Chair position has been added and Student Senate has worked to encourage minority students to run.
Childress said he has noticed a "conscious effort" in the way the organization reaches out to minorities and students of varied backgrounds. He also stresses the ways the Senate is including students not only of different races but also of different interests and accomplishments. He said the organization wants to to involve people who are "really doing great things."
"We're recruiting them for their abilities and the great things they are doing," Childress said. "We're going deeper than diversity."

Amended House bill includes textbook tax recommendation
The rebate that was proposed focused on encouraging students to purchase their books for class on campus or at a local bookstore, instead of purchasing them online. Rep. Whipple's amendment came after universities across the state met with and spoke to legislators last week.
Rep. Brandon Whipple, Wichita-D, successfully gained support to amend a House Bill that would allow some monetary relief for University students and their families when buying higher education textbooks in the form of a refundable sales tax. The bill will be considered for final approval in the House Wednesday, Feb. 19.

Morgan Said, the outreach director for the University's Student Senate, said that regardless of the bill's passing, adding the amendment is inspiring to the Student Senate, the student body and the state of Kansas by showing that legislators do listen to the voices of the state of Kansas.
"We brought light to a really big issue, and maybe if we can't conquer this battle this time around, we can come back around the next time around, and be more prepared and hopefully tackle it then," Said said.

SochiProblems is a reflection of USA
There are a lot of things I love about the Olympics: the
grandeur, the national pride,
the international culture, the
ice skating, the handsome
athletes. But what I love most
is how much can be learned
from the Olympics.
For one, the peaceful cooperation between countries is absolutely incredible. (Let's forget for a moment America's unease at Russian government and the total hate-fest going on in the media; this we will chalk up to national egotism.) Think about it: millions of people with a million different cultural and political opinions come together to watch and/or compete for the pride of their country. Even when countries like Russia—which is visibly underprivileged and oppressive—host the games, we partake, not in approval of the actions of its government, but in honor of world peace and support of hardworking people across the globe.
By Tasha Cerny
opinion@kansan.com
What if, instead of wars, we could operate all international negotiations this way? What if, instead of threats of nuclear warfare,we could settle all political disagreements with peaceful competition? What if we honor other countries and cultures for their people, not their governments? We'd certainly do a better job of advocating for the will of global populations.
But these are all fantastical 'what ifs' that have quite a way to go before coming true. Still, it's nice to think that we could learn something useful about political interaction from the Olympics.
I read an article online the other day titled, "#SochiProblems Is More of An Embarrassment For America Than It Is For Russia," and it was eye-opening to see such a radically
different perspective on the negative media buzz the Olympics have been stirring up. The article argues that all of those "horrible" things that journalists and athletes have been tweeting about with the hashtag "SochiProblems" are actually startling insights into the bad living conditions that exist in Russia.
Sarah Kaufman, the article's author, reminds readers that not every country has access to the privileges we have come to expect here in America, and that perhaps this should be a wake-up call to those who are uneducated about Russia's contemporary standard of living.
I think this is a lesson we can learn here on campus, too. Many of us get caught up in the bubble of our personal lives, and we never stop to think about anyone's perspective except for our own. When we interact with other people—when we say things, or don't say things, do things, or don't do things—we very seldom stop to think about how those experiences will affect others or cause them to perceive us in unintentional ways.
In essence, we become the journalist complaining about "peach juice" from the faucet, while down the road the locals have to buy bottled water every day because the tap water is contaminated.

Brownback ignores the plight of prairie-chickens
What comes first:
the chicken or
the economy?
Kansas is facing a crucial decision regarding the Lesser prairie-chicken. The Lesser prairie-chicken is currently listed as a 'Proposed Threatened species with a habitat restricted to five states: Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
By Jenny Stern
opinion@kansan.com
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, "Fish and Wildlife has said the population of the Lesser prairie-chicken has fallen dramatically as 90 percent of its former range has been taken due to extensive conversion of prairies to croplands"
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, "The Lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) (LEPC) is a species of prairie grouse endemic to the southern high plains of the United States, commonly recognized for its feathered feet, stout build, ground-dwelling habit, and mating behavior." Their mating behavior is an intricate dance, complete with fast stomping and exposure of reddish air sacs on their necks. It's pretty incredible. (Side Note—Spring is their mating season and you can actually go and watch them, or the closely related Greater prairie- chicken, dance!)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service is ensuring that some action be taken to protect the Lesser prairie-chicken. The debate is between adopting a range-wide conservation plan or list the Lesser prairie-chicken as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
Also in this letter, Brownback defends his argument, "In short, the recent drought conditions should not serve as a basis for species listing. A return to normal weather and precipitation conditions, along with the ongoing and proposed conservation efforts, should mitigate any perceived need to list the species."
Endangered Species Act. In a letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Governor Sam Brownback said, "Kansas will be a strong advocate for independent judicial review of any decision to list the Lesser prairie chicken."
I'm not sure how long Brownback has lived in Kansas, but there isn't really a 'normal' weather pattern and there are no guarantees, especially factoring in climate change, that conditions
will improve for the Lesser prairie-chickens.
Gov. Brownback goes further to argue that the "...listing of the species and the accompanying protections would directly impact and jeopardize Kansas' largest industries — agriculture and energy. The interests of conservation and protection of the species can be furthered without the heavy-handed measures that could accompany a federal listing."
With 90 percent of the Lesser prairie-chicken's habitat overrun by agriculture and energy, I think the state of Kansas owes these birds, at the very least, a "threatened" species listing. This listing status is crucial because it ensures that some measure is actually being put into action to protect the Lesser prairie-chickens whereas independent plans cannot ensure this.
Regardless of your preference of bad dance puns, the Lesser prairie-chickens need legislative support. So get in the groove, save the last dance, and most importantly: pop, lock and protect the Lesser prairie-chickens.

Does this really happen? You go into the bathroom, and as you're going about your business, you hear the scratching of a pen on the metal stall wall next to you. Or, maybe it is happening and it goes unnoticed. The artists and creative geniuses behind this silent movement of what many call vandalism must have a strategy, or are a part of some underground graffiti club. However, there are more complex reasons for people to deface bathroom stalls.
In a research study by Brett Wolff called "The Writing on the Stall: Graffiti, Vandalism, and Social Expression," Wolff says there are three types of vandalism which relate to graffiti. The first is called ideological vandalism. This type is inspired by a political, social or other activist reason. The second is play vandalism—the ideology that vandalism is motivated by competition of who can do the worst act. The final type of vandalism is malicious vandalism, which is motivated by rage or frustration. Most innocent bathroom graffiti would fall under the first category.
MAGGIE ROSSITER/KANSAN Grafitti graces the walls of many-buildings and bars on and around campus.
Not every attempt at bathroom graffiti is part of a social
or political movement. The initials of the boyfriend and girlfriend bound by that plus sign stick to stall walls like magnets. Greek house letters seem to be the new wallpaper at many of the bars around campus.
Taylor Basset, a freshman from Fremont, Neb., says even though she enjoys the creativity of some stall writings she thinks defacing public property is wrong.
"I think it depends on the place, but I think most times writing on a stall wall is vandalism," Bassett said. "Bathroom stalls aren't meant to be written on and it just causes more problems for the
owners."
Vernon L. Allen, co-author of "Vandalism: Behavior and Motivations," says that a specific amount of vandalism occurs solely because the perpetrators find it fun and enjoy the rush of getting away with something.
Marin Garavalia, a freshman from St. Louis, says she doesn't mind the graffiti on stall walls unless it's offensive. "I think if it was artistic or creative I wouldn't really mind," Garavalla said. "If something written was meant to hurt someone or be offensive then I would be annoyed."
Although defacing a stall wall is considered vandalism, it takes a certain skill set to turn a bland stall door into a masterpiece in the span of a flush.
Besides the ink strokes of love and Greek letters, it takes a special talent to be able to tarnish a stall with permanent marker glory. Watson Library, Wescoe Hall and Budig Auditorium are just a few of the spots on campus known for the gems gracing their stalls. After all, it makes going more entertaining when there is something to read.

Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' debut a success
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — If Jimmy Fallon had already proven he was a natural hosting NBC's "Late Night," he left no doubt Monday that "The Tonight Show" now fits him like a glove.
As promised during the much-promoted run-up to his "Tonight Show" debut, Fallon made no drastic changes to the "Late Night" formula that had served him for five years. He remained funny, gracious, bubbly and, above all, comfortable presiding over a show that was different mostly for its earlier time slot, its classier production values and legendary brand name.
"We can book people from the West Coast?" he joked at his newfound status.
He did pretty well with his bookings on opening night: Will Smith and the rock group U2.
Out he came, to thunderous applause, and planted himself on his mark (a four-leaf clover) to deliver his first monologue.
He expressed gratitude for his new gig, introduced his parents in the studio audience, and dispensed love in every direction — and made it sound authentic.
"Im Jimmy Fallon," he began, and with a nod to past late-night turbulence that most recently saw his "Tonight" predecessor, Lay Leno, make an unsought exit, he added. "T'll be your host — for now."
Back at his desk, he voiced what seemed like an aside: "To my buddy who said that I'd never be the host of 'The Tonight Show' — and you know who you are — you owe me a hundred bucks, buddy."
With that, Robert De Niro burst through the curtain and plunked a hundred dollars on Fallon's desk.
But that wasn't all. In rapid succession, a parade of other celebs circled through right behind him. They included Joe Namath, Rudolph Giuliani, Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga, Mike Tyson, Stephen Colbert and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Joan Rivers was also among them, repaying her "debt" and making a bit of history in the bargain: 49 years earlier to the day, the veteran comedian had made her first appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" in that very studio, and had not appeared on "Tonight" since 1987, when she was banned by Carson after jumping to Fox to host her own short-lived show.
A key part of the celebratory spirit for Fallon was the fact that, after more than 40 years in Los Angeles, he and NBC have brought "Tonight" back to New York and Rockefeller Plaza, where it has reclaimed Studio 6B, once the home of Carson and, before him, "Tonight" host Jack Paar.
"I just want to do the best I can and take care of this show for a while." Fallon told viewers. "If you guys let me stick around long enough, maybe I'll get the hang of it."
No worries. For five years on "Late Night" he was getting the hang of it.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Joel E
After missing the TCU game due to back and knee injuries, Embild came back and didn't miss a step. He tied his career-high with 18 points including late free throws and a dunk to help Kansas take back the lead late in the game. He went six-for-seven from the floor, made six of his eight free throws and also led the Jayhawks with eight rebounds.

GAME TO FORGET
Perry Ellis, forward
Despite Self calling Ellis the team's most consistent scorer, Ellis only mustered four points yesterday without making a field goal. He didn't play much due to foul trouble, but didn't assert himself much when he was on the court. This marks the third game of the season Ellis has scored just four points, with the other two ending in Kansas losses. The Jayhawks need Ellis to avoid games like this down the road.

His biggest plays came late in the contest, none bigger than a lay-in with three seconds left to give Kansas a one-point lead. He came up big defensively moments ahead and blocked Jaye Crockett's field goal attempt with under a minute remaining and the Jayhaws down one point. Wiggins held Crockett, the Red Raiders' leading scorer, to 10 points on three-for-11 shooting.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Hey, thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. I'm glad you did. Basketball is a team game, it's not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in high school, back-to-back NCAA championships in college. I won an NBA championship my first year in the league, an NBA championship in my last year, and nine in between. That, Mr. James, is etched in stone."

LeBron's Mount Rushmore

FACT OF THE DAY
Paul George, John Wall and Damiun Lillard were selected to the All-Star game and the Slam Dunk contest. It was the first time since 1988 where three All-Stars would compete in both of those contests (Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins and Clyde Drexler)

NBA All-Star Weekend lackluster with new rules
---
ESPN
en McLemore entered the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans before his first dunk of the knockout stage, dressed in a lavish purple robe on top of his jersey. But, McLemore was not alone. He was accompanied by part-owner of the Sacramento Kings, Shaquille O'Neal. After Shaq unveiled his new, "Shaqlemore" jersey, he proceeded to park himself in the middle of the paint in a throne fit for a king. On McLemore's second attempt, he rose up over Shaq and slammed home a rim-rattling dunk resembling the famous jumpman logo.
This year's NBA All-Star Weekend was a little different than in years past. There were some changes in the dunk contest rules. Arne Duncan did well in the celebrity game. The 3-point contest wasn't anything spectacular. I'm just glad I wasn't keeping score. I would have needed a calculator. Also, LeBron James announced his "NBA Mount Rushmore."
By Amie Just
sports@kansan.com
The dunk contest new rules received bad press from the media, fans and NBA players themselves. This year it was East vs. West. The first round,
called the "freestyle" round, was underwhelming. However, the second knockout round had Ben McLemore dunking over Shaq. Each conference had 90 seconds for all three athletes participating in the contest to complete at least one dunk. Then in the "battle" round, dunkers went one-on-one against opposing conferences and the losing dunker was eliminated. Once the battle round was over, the top three dunkers, who all hailed from the East, were pitted against each other... for the fan vote. Personally, I would have rather watched John Wall, Paul George and Terrence Ross compete against each other in a final "winner-take-all" round.
Ever heard of Arne Duncan? Unless you're into politics, I doubt it. I know
I hadn't. Duncan is the Secretary of Education of the U.S., and he can ball. He scored 20 points. To put that into perspective: his team scored 60. In addition to that, he had 11 rebounds and six assists, almost finishing with a rare triple-double.
THE BREW
As for the 3-point contest, Marco Belinelli shot two airballs in the first three racks. He came back in the tiebreaker round to hit 24 shots, placing him first, ahead of Bradley Bea
While the NBA isn't exactly known for defensive battles, in the 2014 All-Star game, that's exactly what happened. The offensive shootout between the East and the West racked up a score of 163-155: the highest scoring All-Star game ever.
lebron put some attention on himself this weekend. He named, in his opinion, the four best players to play the game: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Oscar Robertson. In true LeBron fashion, he went on to add that he will be one of the top four players to play the game.
This week in athletics
Re- gardardless of all the ups and downs, the weekend is done and over with. Let's just hope that the NBA can revamp the dunk contest into something a lot more exciting in 2015.

NAIL BITER Wiggins to the rescue in last seconds of game PAGE 6
COMMENTARY Red Raiders forgot about Andrew Wiggins
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
No Andrew, that's what you did. Your team was playing one of its worst games all season, which isn't to knock the Jayhawks as much as stand in awe.
BASKETBALL
Now there's a two-game lead in the Big 12 race. Kansas now has a chance to win 10 straight conference titles at home on Monday, and now we know where the ball is going at the end of a close game, intentional or not.
They just left him all alone on the wing, too mesmerized by
Still, this was an Andrew Wiggins victory. One that Kansas fans will remember long after he's gone.
You can bet Texas Tech won't forget him either.
No. 8 Kansas 64, Texas Tech 63.
too misnomerized by the ball to even notice he was there in the first place. Maybe they shot a glance behind them because, well, there must've been five Jayhawks on the court. Maybe they didn't realize whom it was they forgot about.
It only took Embidsead field goal attempts to reach 18 points. It took Wiggins 11 attempts to reach 19. Both made six shots from the free throw line.
When Joel Embiid lost the handle under the basket on Kansas' final possession, Wiggins was able to jog into the lane unnoticed, pick up the loose ball and put it back up.
"Good players make good plays down the stretch," Wiggins told the media after his game-winner. "That's what we did."
Edited by Jack Freigh
Naadir Tharpe couldn't hold onto the ball, Wayne Selden shot just two-of-eight from the field and Perry Ellis didn't hit anything besides four free throws. And Kansas won. Against a tough Texas Tech team – which previously knocked off Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Baylor – that only seems to get better with Tubby Smith at the helm, Kansas closed out.
"We were lucky," Kansas coach Bill Self said afterward. "We were fortunate we won."
It took him some time to readjust, but once he did it felt like January again. He was knocking down turnaround jumpers with ease, owning the paint and blocking shots.
Rather, freshmen. Because as much as the win is credited to Wiggins, the man who kept Kansas alive was Joel Embiid.
They were fortunate Tech left Wiggins open. That Tech felt it could somehow collapse to the paint and stop Wiggins from joining them, or that the Red Raiders wouldn't let the freshman factor in the final play.
After sitting out last game against TCU for some healing time, Embiid returned to the starting lineup and reminded Kansas fans just how nice it is to have a center who is bigger than everyone else, let alone better.
KANSAS 10 Jayhawks clinch win against Red Raiders

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUBBOCK, Texas — Kansas coach Bill Self felt more than a little fortunate that his No. 8 Jayhawks pulled out a 64-63 win against a very tough Texas Tech team.
Andrew Wiggins' layup with 2 seconds left lifted Kansas to victory on Tuesday night.
"I think sometimes you could say they were a little lucky," he said of the Red Raiders. "They threw some in at the end of the shot clock that maybe weren't the highest percentage shots, and we were a little lucky that the ball just happened to bounce to Wigs there at the end. That's part of it.
The freshman finished with 19 points, and Joel Embiid matched his career high with
18 to lead the Jayhawks (20-6, 11-2). Kansas reached 20 wins for the 25th consecutive season, and 11 conference victories for the 20th straight year.
Jordan Tolbert scored 16 points and Dejan Kravic added 13 to lead Texas Tech (13-13,5-8).
Texas Tech's Robert Turner sank two free throws with 16 seconds left to put the Red Raiders up 63-62, but Kansas brought the ball up and got it inside to Wiggins for the win.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Jayhawks own a twogame lead in the Big 12 after Texas fell 85-76 at Iowa State on Tuesday night.
"It's big, it's big, but it doesn't mean anything unless we win Saturday," Self said of Kansas' home game against the Long-horns.
"That's the game that would
give us some serious breathing room, although we've got a little bit now, and it was big tonight.
The score was tied nine times and the lead changed 13 times.
"I was impressed with Tubby (Smith's) team and how hard they played and how well they defended, how well they rebounded," Self said. "They're going to get better. The guy knows how to win. He's a proven winner. Those kids played hard."
Kansas held an early 10-point lead but Texas Tech started hammering the ball inside to make the game tight.
Tolbert made a bucket as the shot clock expired with 2:51 left to put the Red Raiders up 59-55. But Wayne Seldon, Jr. hit a clutch 3-pointer
to pull within 59-58. Turner answered with a basket, and Embiid sank two free throws to make it 61-60 with 1:22 remaining.
On the Red Raiders' next possession, a scrum led to Kansas getting the ball.
Embiid dunked it to put the Jayhawks up 62-61.
Turner then made his free throws, and Kansas called a timeout to draw up the play to Wiggins.
Kansas scored 22 points from the free throw line, and Texas Tech netted only nine. Texas Tech came out after halftime and hit four of its first five shots.
Kansas made only one basket in four attempts, allowing the Red Raiders to take their first lead since early in the game, 37-32.
Jordan Tolbert capped Texas Tech's 8-2 run.
But the Red Raiders' effective defense also created foul trouble.
With more than 13 minutes remaining, Jaye Crockett, Kravic and Kader Tapsoba each had three fouls.
Texas Tech sent the Jayhawks to the line often in the second half. Five free throws — by Jamari Traylor and Wiggins — on three possessions pulled Kansas within 46-45 with about 11 minutes remaining.
But the Jayhawks regained the lead for the first time in 11 minutes, 52-51, on a pair of free throws by Naadir Tharpe with 7:14 remaining.
But with Kravic back in, and after a turnover by Tharpe, the 7-foot senior tied the game at 53 on a layup with 5:34 left.

Outfielder cultivates talent for third season
BEN FELDERSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
As his freshman year at Punahou High School winded down, football was on the mind of Michael Suiter.
In middle and high school, Suiter was always a multi-sport athlete. He put on pads in the fall, and laced up his spikes in the spring. Suiter was a gifted wide receiver and a slugging outfielder.
BEVERLY
"I was really into football," Suiter said. "I was having fun with football, and I couldn't see myself going very far in baseball. I enjoyed it more. Football was more fun."
"Sophomore year it all clicked in," Mrs. Suiter said.
"He started on varsity, put
Suiter's mom, Mary Suiter told her son that he needed to give baseball one more shot.
"He's very athletic," Mrs. Suiter said. "He excelled in multiple sports, and baseball was too good of an opportunity to pass on."
Suiter was built to be an athlete. He has always excelled in everything he has done. During baseball media day, head coach Ritch Price described Suiter as "having the body of a Greek god."
After his sophomore season, Mrs. Suiter knew that her son had made the right choice.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Suiter took his mother's advice, and played for his school's baseball team the following spring.
"Right after freshman year, I started getting a lot better at baseball," Suiter said. "I ended up starting my sophomore year."
Suiter had an even more impressive junior campaign. He batted .533 and had a .750 slugging percentage. Suiter was named Hawaii Gatorade Player of the Year and was selected as the Louisville Slugger Player of the Year in Hawaii. Punahou High went on to win the state championship that season as well.
together an amazing campaign and they [Punahou High School] won state. That's when Michael wanted to go for it."
Outfielder Michael Suiter hits a home run with two on base in the fifth inning on March 7.2012.
After Suter's senior season, he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 37th round of
The most notable part of Suiter's junior year in high school came off of the diamond. Michael injured his ACL before football season and required surgery.
"He worked so hard to get back on the field," Mrs. Suiter said. "We watched him grind it out and go through physical therapy. It was a real high point to see his effort and determination."
"My quarterback at the time was Ka'lana Eldredge," Suiter said. "He threw a pass over the middle and my knee just popped."
Suiter had five months to do whatever he needed to get back on the field before baseball season.
As it turns out, his injury may have been a good thing. "I felt like it was a blessing in disguise," Sutter said. "I was able to focus on baseball, and the work ethic that it took really helped me and instilled how much I really wanted to play baseball."
the amateur draft. The Suiter family respectfully declined the offer and Suiter went on to play college ball.
"My husband said no," Mrs. Suiter said. "We wanted him to develop and experience college. The incentives were not high enough for Michael to pass up the opportunity to play Division I college baseball."
In Suiter's freshman year,
The Reds reached out to Mr. Suiter before they even contacted his son. Suiter was not unhappy with his father's decision, as he wanted to experience college.
Suiter's best friend, Ka'ana Eldredge went to Punahou with Suiter, but graduated and committed to Kansas a year earlier. Suiter and Price agree that Eldredge had a lot to do with the recruiting process.
Suiter committed to Kansas and was ready to experience a whole different side of the world.
"I wanted to experience something different than Hawaii," Suiter said. "Also, Skip [Coach Price] is a great guy. He was awesome, he offered me things I couldn't refuse."
Suiter was originally verbally committed to a different school. When the entire coaching staff at that school left, Suiter re-opened his status. He played summer ball in Alaska with the Matsue Miners, when Price reached out to him.
"He was a bull of a young man." Price said. "He had a great work ethic and he looked like a guy that could contribute."
he started 46 games in left field. He batted .226 with four homeruns and drove in 17. Suiter batted 5-13 in the Big 12 championship.
His second year with Kansas was even more impressive, batting .309, scoring 40 runs and knocking in 29. Suiter started in 58 games last year. Suiter was named to the 2013 All-Big 12 Second team, the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 team, the 2013 Phillips 66 Big 12 All-Tournament Team, and was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on March 11th.
"Michael's success has meant so much to us." Mrs. Suiter said. "He has been working so hard and it has meant the world to us."
Suiter will be slotted in the three-hole in Price's lineup this year. The team expects big things out of him.
Price is thrilled with the production Suiter has given Kansas so far.
"Batting in the three spot means a lot to me," Suiter said. "Guys who hit there are supposed to produce numbers, and I hope to do that."
"It takes a special guy to hit in the three spot," he said. "A guy like Michael batting third makes it easier for everyone else to contribute."
Suiter has already had a tremendous impact for the Jayhawks. But, Price thinks that better days are coming as Suiter looks forward to his junior season.
"He's got a chance to be something special," Price said. "I think he could be named to the All-big 12 First Team."

FUNDING
Questions remain in Athletics Fee conversation
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
A fundamental question stands at the forefront of an ongoing conversation for Student Senate: should students help finance Kansas Athletics — an integral part of the University that brought in $93.6 million in revenue in 2013?
The debate resurfaced in Monday's recommendation from the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee Advisory Board to lower or eliminate the fee. The Advisory Board consists entirely of students, including chairman David Catt — a former student-athlete.
Students currently pay a required $25 semesterly fee to the Kansas Athletics Department. This year, the fee will result in between $1.2 and $1.3 million going from
students to athletics. If the fee is lowered or eliminated, the money could be used by Student Senate elsewhere.
"This is Jayhawks helping Jayhawks," Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony said, echoing a statement from an Advisory Board member in Monday's meeting.
Catt, who compiled a comprehensive report detailing financial information from Student Senate and Kansas Athletics, questioned the fee's possible benefits for the student body.
"I think, if anything, it's the job of Student Senate to definitely critically think about which fees are absolutely necessary and which generate the greatest return for the student body," Catt said. "I see a very minimal return on investment for the entire student body."
WHAT IS THE FEE?
Every University student, knowingly or unknowingly, pays 18 required campus fees. Student Senate is in charge of distributing these fees.
Some of the University's other required campus fees include a $134.70 Student Health Fee funding operations of Student Health Services, a $4.45 Newspaper Readership Program Fee providing USA Today, The New York Times and The Kansan across campus and a $16.30 SafeRide Fee to fund car and bus services running from 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
In 1979, when universities were required to enforce Title IX regulations, a $1.50 Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee was introduced. Adjusted for inflation, that fee would equal $4.81 today.
The fee directly funds travel
for women's and men's nonrevenue sports, in part keeping travel equitable between men's and women's sports.
The fee has increased over time, peaking at $40 from 2006-2011 when students helped fund a new $6 million, 14,000-square-foot rowing team boathouse next to the Kansas River near Burcham Park. It was lowered to $25 in 2012.
"Travel costs have increased while the student fee has not," Marchiony said. "Have you bought a gallon of gas lately? The cost of travel has increased dramatically."
From 2005-2012, Athletics travel costs rose from $2.8 million to $8.5 million. A women's golf team trip to Ireland in the summer of 2013 raised questions within Student Senate.
"Are we funding that?" Student Body President
HOW DOES KU COMPARE?
Four schools in the Big 12 conference have a required student fee and an optional student ticket package. Here's how KU stacks up against the others.
BIG 12 SCHOOLS STUDENT FEES STUDENT TICKET PACKAGES
University of Kansas $25.00 $150.00

Marcus Tetwiler asked earlier in the year. "Are the 25,000 students at KU subsidizing lavish expenses?"
HOW DOES KANSAS COMPARE?
According to information provided by Kansas Athletics for Catt's report, "A Summary of
information Pertinent to the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee" only four universities in the Big 12 bring in revenue from both student fees and optional student ticket sales.

The image shows a close-up view of a honeycomb frame covered with bees. Bees are actively working on the comb, collecting nectar and pollen from the hexagons. This process helps in producing honey, which is an essential food source for humans and bees. The bees' presence indicates that this is likely a bee colony, which is common in many natural environments.

Bees to be replaced after hive loss

After the death of all honey bees in the KU Natural History Museum exhibit on Feb. 6 due to the same extreme cold that shut down campus, the museum has announced plans to introduce new bees this spring. A new colony and queen will be purchased from a bee supplier in order to restock the popular exhibit that often times attracts repeat visitors to the museum.
"It's a unique way to give access to something that
people are usually a bit fearful of", said Bruce Scherting, KU Natural History Museum director of exhibits. "Check back in the spring. Hopefully things will be buzzing."
"They were all at the end of the tube which makes us think they were trying to block the cold easterly wind that had been blowing for those two days from entering into the colony," Scherting said.
The observational colony housed in the museum lives in a structure that allows the bees to leave the hive via a tube in order to go out and get food.
"It's a unique way to give access to something that people are usually a bit fearful of."
when the colony first started off in the museum it had about 20,000 bees. It during the

fall the population had been reduced to a couple hundred bees because of a parasite
problem. The bees were being nursed back to health in order to make it through the winter months. However, Scherting believes that there were just not enough bees in the hive at the time in order to keep the colony warm.

"We have lost bees before in the past due to disease or parasites. We have never lost them to this type of a weather situation," Scherting said.

Young adults are the group most often targeted for online scams, according to the Better Business Bureau. College students are often tricked into giving out personal information while seeking financial aid.
Students most at-risk group for online scams
CODY KUIPER news@kansan.com
Sarah Jacobs, a freshman from Basehor, was doing something typical for a college freshman: looking for a part-time job. While browsing the listings on Craigslist though, she nearly fell victim to an online scam.
Jacobs contacted a poster for a simple receptionist position, but the situation quickly became suspicious after that.
"He started to get me to work for him right away, without doing an interview or any paperwork," Jacobs said. "I kept telling him, 'No, I'm not doing anything for you. I haven't signed any paperwork. I'm not your employee.' But he just kept trying to send me stuff."
Things escalated from there, with the Craiglist poster sending Jacobs a check for $2,400 without having done any work. After doing some research online, she found that multiple people had fallen victim to the same scam, one that attempted to launder money through victims under the guise of a receptionist job.
"If I'm doing anything like that online now, I make sure it has the name of the company and that the location is in the advertisement," Jacobs said. "Sometimes companies won't put their name up and stuff like that, so I know now I have to be more aware of that."
Jacobs is not alone in her brush with an online scam. Young adults are the most atrisk group for online identity theft and scams, according to the Better Business Bureau, and 1 in 10 Internet users has had personal information stolen, according to Pew Research Center.
Amy Schroeder, a sophomore from Colby, nearly fell victim to an online scam as well.
While attempting to sell her laptop on Craiglist, Schroeder got an offer from a man in California who said he would pay via check. When she received the check, it was for $2,500, significantly more than the $400 Schroeder was asking for. The buyer wanted her to cash the check and give the rest of the money to a "friend" of his, but Schroeder became suspicious and reported the situation to her bank, who said it was a common scam to get money from fraudulent checks.
"I think if you're a college student it's easy to get caught up in things like this," Schroeder said. "You think, 'Oh, here's money' but you have to make sure you check the background and make sure you're not being scammed, which I don't think a lot of college students do."
Sergeant Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department said other scams that are currently popular involve scammers posing as the IRS in order to trick Internet users into sending personal information, as well as emails that are purporting to be a sign-up for healthcare. gov.
McKinley said when dealing with these sorts of scams, or any sort of person-to-person interaction with someone you haven't met, users should be aware of certain types of suspicious behavior.
"Any time anybody is asking you to wire money somewhere, that's an indication that you need to consider what they're doing," McKinley said. "When you see things in broken
In some cases, online scammers specifically set their sights on college students and attempt to rope targets in with promises of fake scholarships or cheap student loans. In these instances, students are tricked by official-looking documents or web advertisements and end up paying for a fake service or get tricked into an expensive loan without realizing it. To avoid situations like this, the office of Federal Student Aid says students should never pay for help to find scholarship money and to check with your university before giving personal information to a lender.
English too, where someone is trying to communicate with you and the sentences aren't complete and punctuation and conjugation aren't correct, that's an indication that you may be dealing with someone dealing with you overseas."
If students suspect they have been a victim of an online scam, McKinley said to check for popular scams online and file a complaint with the FBI at www.ic3.gov, but he warned that those who don't spot one early like Jacobs and Schroeder probably don't stand a chance of getting their money back.
"As soon as we determine that the money went to a Western Union location here in town and then maybe got wired to somewhere in South Africa or something like that, our investigation is probably over," McKinley said. "We're probably not going to be able to reach the scammer and get your money back. That's why they like wire transfers, once it's gone, it's gone."

University looks to modernize heating systems
TERRI HARVEY
news@kansan.com
Many students complain that the temperatures of classrooms across campus are inconsistent and uncomfortable. Some buildings are too cold, others are too warm and it seems that not many of them are just right. The extreme temperatures make it difficult for some students to concentrate.
"The classrooms would be so cold that I wouldn't be able to take off my coat. I was very uncomfortable." said Lynna Pham, a freshman from Witchita.
Jay Phillips, director of Facilities Services, said that the simplest solution to the problem of complaints is for students and faculty to file facility reports when the temperatures seem unbearable.
However, some of the temperature issues are not so simple to solve. The University operates on a seasonal heating and cooling system that doesn't
allow for constant change to coincide with the volatile Kansas weather.
"The classrooms would be so cold that I wouldn't be able to take off my coat. I was very uncomfortable:"
LYNNA PHAM Freshman from Wichita
"Many of our buildings are two-pipe systems rather than four-pipe systems," Phillips said. "Four-pipe systems have cooling water and heating water, supply and return. So you can get both heating and cooling if you need it at any time. When you have a two-pipe system, you have one or the other. You have heat in the winter and you have cooling in the summer."
The age of certain buildings contributes to the inconsistency in temperature, as well. Some of
the older buildings function on an out-of-date system that doesn't allow for optimal control of temperatures.
"In a lot of cases, we have pneumatic controls in some buildings, which they don't really use anymore," Phillips said. "Pneumatic is air-driven, so it will use an air system to help control the system instead of digital thermostats. When a new building is built we have a lot more ability to control the temperature and systems within it."
Facilities Services js trying to modernize many of the heating
KEY POINTS
The University's energy policy requires a standard temperature to aim for across campus that is meant to use sufficient amounts of energy and supply a comfortable temperature. According to Phillips, the University aims to heat buildings up to 69 degrees in the winter and cool to 76 degrees in the summer, though the temperatures don't always reach this standard.
- It's difficult for the University to maintain a consistent heat throughout the buildings on campus because of a few out-of-date systems.
- The University follows a strict sustainability policy that supports sustainable alternatives such as steam power and regulated temperatures.
- Solar paneling may be in the works to allow for a more sustainable use of energy and a more modern, efficient system.
and cooling units.
George Werth, campus energy manager, said that there is a possibility of adding an array of solar panels so that the University's energy use is more sustainable and efficient. Facilities Services is applying for a grant through Westar Energy that is due by March 1. If selected, the University plans to add the solar panel array by the end of 2015.
Currently, the University's steam plant, which is a natural gas-fired plant, provides steam
through a central distribution system to heat the buildings in the winter. Steam is one of the more efficient sources of energy that the University uses.
Phillips urges students to assist with the efforts.
"The best source of sustainable savings is from people; from students." Phillips said. "Turning off lights, powering down equipment, keeping a fume hood closed, just look to conserve energy anywhere you can."

Colorado pot market exceeds tax hopes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Colorado's legal marijuana market is far exceeding tax expectations, according to a budget proposal released Wednesday by Gov. John Hickenlooper that gives the first official estimate of how much the state expects to make from pot taxes.
The proposal outlines plans to spend some $99 million next fiscal year on substance abuse prevention, youth marijuana use prevention
Retail sales began Jan. 1 in Colorado. Sales have been strong, though exact figures for January sales won't be made public until early next month.
and other priorities. The money would come from a statewide 10 percent sales tax on recreational pot, indicating Colorado's total sales next fiscal year will be near $1 billion.
The governor predicted sales and excise taxes next fiscal year would produce some $98 million, well above a $70 million annual estimate given
to voters when they approved the pot taxes last year. The governor also includes taxes from medical pot, which are subject only to the statewide 2.9 percent sales tax.
Washington state budget forecasters released a projection Wednesday for that state, where retail sales don't begin for a few months.
Economic forecasters in Olympia predicted that the state's new legal recreational marijuana market will bring nearly $190 million to state
The spending plan included $45.5 million for youth use prevention, $40.4 million for substance abuse treatment and $12.4 million for public health.
In Colorado, Hickenlooper's proposal listed six priorities for spending the pot sales taxes.
"We view our top priority as creating an environment where negative impacts on children from marijuana legalization are avoided completely,"
coffers over four years starting in mid-2015. Washington state sets budgets biennially.
Hickenlooper wrote in a letter to legislative budget writers, which must approve the plan.
The governor also proposed a $5.8 million, three-year "statewide media campaign on marijuana use," presumably highlighting the drug's health risks. The state Department of Transportation would get $1.9 million for a new "Drive High, Get a DUI" campaign to tout the state's new marijuana blood-limit standard for drivers.

POLICY
Kansas House passes bill to exempt textbook sales from taxes
Both KU students and on-campus bookstores might have more cash in their pockets when the Fall 2014 semester arrives.
House Bill 2557, which was successfully amended by Rep. Brandon Whipple, D-Wichita, on Tuesday to include a tax refund on textbooks bought by students in pursuit of a post-secondary education. The bill successfully passed the House committee on Wednesday with a 122-0 vote.
Steve Levin, general manager of the Jayhawk Bookstore, said that he thinks it will be beneficial for him as well as the state if the bill becomes a law because it will increase the money being spent in the state.
"Buying a physics book here, even though there is no sales tax — that $150 will stay in Kansas." Levin said. "You save on a $300 textbook bill, that will be about $25 that you can go ahead and spend at Pickleman's or someplace else, buy some pizza. It keeps the money here."
Rep. Ken Corbet, R-Topeka,
Rep. Jerry Lunn, R-Overland Park,
were both unavailable for comment regarding the bill's passing on Wednesday afternoon.
Student Senate outreach director Morgan Said has not yet returned remarks regarding the bill's passing.

Don't follow the crowd find your own creed
Our beliefs do not have to match those of our parents. If we didn't
realize this before in high school, our time at college should certainly make us realize this simple fact now.
Besides having the freedom to choose what to believe and not to believe, we are also exposed to an overwhelming diversity of religions on campus. As a result, being away for college becomes the quintessential space for opening up to different ways of thinking about God and developing our own personal beliefs.
Some of us do choose to identify with specific beliefs, creeds and doctrines. Conversion experiences as well as stories of reversion to faiths we were raised in can be powerful moments for us, from the student who finds belonging in a new Christian community on campus to the Muslim student who takes on the challenge of praying five times a day, the creeds we adopt in our daily lives can enrich and define our spiritual lives.
Those of us who have gone through this faith journey have come to understand creed in a much different way than our Sunday school experiences. We understand creed as not something that can be shoved down the throat of any self-conscious human being.
No one, not even our parents, should expect that just because they have a specific definition of God, or, even more fundamentally, they say God exists at all, that we should sign up unquestionably as believers of that dogma.
By Garrett Fugate
opinion@kansan.com
In his book "God in Search of Man," Rabbi Abraham Heschel says, "in formulating a creed, in asserting: God
is, we merely bring down overpowering reality to the level of thought. Our thought is but an after-belief."
What attaches us to creeds begins with an inner questioning, an inner thirst, and then an intimation of some greater reality. Heschel says the "statement 'God is' is an understatement." It is merely a phrase that is an attempt to describe our spirituality and experience with God, something that is surely beyond language.
Behind our "God is" statements, there is something deeper and far more intimate to each of us that is difficult to put into words. This deeper "something" cannot be reproduced by simply reciting the creeds and catechisms of our parents. To do so would be placing these dogmatic statements above the very thing they attempt to describe, that is, God.
In contrast, the creeds we adopt voluntarily are assertions of a faith we've personally arrived at. We understand that creed is actually "an understatement" to larger experiences, journeys, and stirrings of our hearts and minds. Creeds, if we chose to adopt them, are an "after-belief."

HEALTH
Eating 'right' is not easy when health standards change often
1:30 a.m., I'm eating a bowl of plain noodles. I don't feel like I'm breaking any crucial nutritional rules, although Emeril might bat an eye. I give Google a go with, "Is a bowl of noodles healthy?" and am met with a flood of information so useless and inconsistent that, after 30 minutes of research, I still couldn't tell you if a bowl of noodles is healthy.

I'm hit with buzzwords like "MSG," "fried," "sodium," and "carbs." At some point in each of these words' histories, they were chemicals. Now, they've been hijacked by diet books and cooking shows that have turned them into selling points.
There are some basic principles that we all know; soda bad, broccoli good. But every couple of months, the entire field of nutritional science will reverse their position on products and foods.
Despite knowing in general that carbs aren't great and too much red meat makes pooping a chore,the study of nutrition is barely more than a pseudoscience to me.
It's like they're flipping coins.
If this were just about any other scientific field, itd be harmless. When paleontologists announced that the triceratops wasn't its own species of dinosaur, our inner child was bummed out but nothing substantial changed.
When the Higgs boson
made national news over the summer, we all cheered but had no idea what it meant to our daily lives.
When nutritional scientists decide in April that fat is bad in all forms, I avoid fat. In May when they change their minds and claim that fat is essential and carbso are the true culprit, I do my best to adjust accordingly.
All of these are affecting the food that goes into my body. What I eat can protect me from heart disease and make me more prone to it in the same stroke. The choices we make in our diets have both immediate and long-term impacts on our bodies, minds and lives.
Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate a structured diet made up of Nutty Bars, Twinkies and powdered doughnuts. After eight weeks he'd lost 27 pounds and cut his cholesterol by twenty percent.
This wasn't a formal study, more of a class project. His results are no less mind-boggling to me. He consumed the kind of food that diet scientists vilify and yet came out better for it.
These anomalies aren't a
reflection of the nutritional sciences failing. These results are instead a reflection of how fickle and complicated our bodies really are. And, more importantly, how difficult it is to set down broad-stroke rules for diet of any kind.
The current "thing" is being gluten-free. Every restaurant, diet book, and grocery store is pandering to the new regime of anti-gluten and will continue to do so until the next fad comes along. It sells, gives your brand a "healthy, earthy vibe," and the only cost is a few extra "gluten-free" labels and a new set of menus.
I understand that nutrition is an evolving science and that we live in rapidly transforming times. That's all fine and dandy.I'd appreciate it if the nutritional science community didn't run from their laboratories screaming at the top of their lungs that X food is a carcinogen after a single study.
When it comes to America's health, I don't want profits to be the priority.
Nutritional science is the only area of study wherein sweeping generalizations are accepted as truth by morning news shows.
Until, of course, they change their minds a few months later.

Spring spots in Lawrence for Jayhawks to explore
MAC LEANDER/KANSAN

Wells Overlook is located atop a hill south of Lawrence off US59. The overlook is a great place to view sunsets and stargaze. The park's hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m every day.

Wells Overlook (the Overlook) is located about 10 minutes from campus and is the place to go if someone wants to catch one of Kansas' famous sunsets. The Overlook has a two-story tower perfect for both sun gazing and star watching. It's a perfect first date location, if you're not afraid of heights. You can see miles out when standing on top of the tower.

The spiking temperatures and sunshine have lured Jayhawks out of hiding. They're running, walking, biking and throwing Frisbees all over campus. Despite how great it may be to see everyone out and about, the 28,000 students attending the University make it challenging to find alone time with the beautiful weather. Visit these four spots around Lawrence this spring for an escape from campus traffic.

Lawrence is made up of plenty of places where students can explore and find peace of mind. This spring, don't sit around experiencing the same old thing. Take advantage of the weather, Lawrence and the possibly limited time you get to spend here.

Potter Lake is located about 100 steps from Strong Hall and is a Jayhawk favorite. During the spring, Jayhawks lay out their towels and do homework while sunbathing. It is located just close enough for everyone on campus to appreciate it, but it's hardly ever overpopulated. Many stories circulate campus about people jumping in and swimming in the lake. This spring, students should visit Potter Lake because it's a "get away" without having to get away.

Centennial Park
Located only four minutes from Jayhawk Boulevard in the 600 block of Rockledge Road, Centennial Park is an awesome spot for runners, grilling out and family outings. There is a skatepark within it that attracts skateboarders of all ages, but there is more. This 35-acre park consists of a playground, three picnic areas and a disc golf course, according to the City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation's website. The expansive park is a good place
People make memories at Clinton Lake. Even though it's about 15 minutes away from campus, it really is the whole package. There are benches scattered around the lake secluded enough for students to have privacy, whether it's with themselves, friends or a significant other. It's a great place to find quiet. Even if someone is with small children and can't walk the hiking trails, they're able to take advantage of the playground.

illmatic
Columbia
Twenty years ago, a 20-year-old by the name of Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, AKA Nas, released what is arguably one of the most important rap albums ever. "Illmatic." With its 20th anniversary coming in April, now is the perfect time to look back on the album.
Even though it's his debut, "Illmatic" is without a doubt Nas' greatest work. Most of Nas' albums over his two decades long career have been good but they have not come close to the impact that Illmatic had over the entire genre of rap.
'Illmatic' embodies Nas timeless flow, rhymes
Most of the album was written and recorded when Nas was 18, but his age is not noticeable. He sounds like a veteran on "illmatic." In the album he masterfully paints vivid imagery and tells amazing stories. Nas' flow and lyrics hold up today as if the album was released last week.
The album also features legendary production from D.J. Premier. "Illmatic" is the gold standard for the boom-bap era in hip-hop. "N.Y. State of Mind" is one of Premier's best beats and
By Ryan Wright entertain @kansan.com
"illmatic" brought back a focus on lyricism in hip-hop and forced other rappers to step their game up. Without it there might not have been a golden age in hip-hop during the '90s.
The legendary album has sometimes been a bad thing in Nas' career because every album he's released since then has been compared to "Illmatic," and they just aren't as good. This comparison makes the rest of his albums seem worse (not that they're bad) than they actually are.
is basically a perfect song, which Nas did, impressively, in one take.
If the album was released today as a brand new project and nobody had ever heard of Nas, it wouldn't have been nearly as influential as it was in 1994. It definitely would get very little to no radio play because of how dated the production is. Not that the production is bad but you'll rarely hear boom-bap type production in hip-hop today.
The only song that might have a chance at becoming
Directly compared to the music of today, this album sounds a lot like Pro Era, who were obviously influenced by '90s rap, other than that there's not much today that has the feel of "Illmatic" because of the evolution of the genre.
It's hard to envision the album today because of how much it influenced the genre; who knows how rap would sound if "Illmatic" never came out. Compared to today's artists, a lot of quality rappers sound similar to Nas on "Illmatic" because of the album's huge influence.
a hit today is "N.Y. State of Mind" because of the aforementioned reasons. In fact, the only people who would truly appreciate the album for the masterpiece it is would be hip-hop heads. The rest of the world would be clueless.
"Illmatic" is one of the most important albums of the '90s, but today's audiences would not be as receptive to the album as people were back then.

The Peking Acrobats stun audience at Lied Center
CORRINE DORRIAN
entertain@kansan.com
"You are in for a treat tonight, get ready to watch something amazing happen." Executive Director Derek Kwan said as he opened the show. That was exactly what happened, something amazing. From live music provided by Jigu! Thunder Drums of China and talented performers, the audience was purely captivated in laughter, fear and astonishment for two hours.
According to chineseacrobats.com, "Since their Western debut in 1986, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics."
People of all ages packed the Lied Center on Wednesday to see The Peking Acrobats. Their performance consisted of 21 bold acts. Each act was carefully choreographed to tell a story through the use of color, music and special props. During one act, named the Pagoda of Chairs, a man
carefully climbed up six stacked white, wooden chairs on top of four bottles and a bottom platform measuring about two feet. He was nearly touching the ceiling and you could hear shrieks from the anxious audience as he kept adding more chairs. It only got better from there as he balanced himself on one hand atop the chairs. As he finally climbed down and took a final bow, the audience gave him a standing ovation for his amazing performance.
Aside from the amazing stunts, there were comedy and live music intermixed. In one act, an acrobat balanced what seemed to be a bowl of eggs on top of an 8-foot pole that rested on his forehead. As he moved around the stage, the pole slipped from his head and the bowl of eggs fell into the front rows of the audience causing everyone to scream. However, the "eggs" just happened to be a cluster of balls tied together. As the performers smirked at the people in the front, the audience erupted in laughter.
Another special addition to the performers was the ligui Thunder Drums of China that provided live music to perfectly accompany the various acts.
The performance was truly a spectacular, energetic experience that left you fully engaged and at times squirming in your seat. The acrobats, men and women ranging in all ages, left an impression of beauty, admiration and fearlessness on all. As they twisted their bodies in ways you could never even imagine in perfect rhythm with one another, the audience was awestruck. It was a show that told a story of a culture. In the end, The Peking Acrobats received a standing ovation for their performance that kept everyone's full attention in astonishment as they climbed atop of each other, twisted their bodies and flew and spun through the air.

Spring trends head to Midwest after fashion week
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
entertain@kansan.com
As New York Fashion Week drew to a close last week with more than 75 featured designers, 2014's hottest trends are preparing to hit the stores. But you don't have to be an A-lister to bring a little bit of NYC to LFK. Make a statement with the best of this year's Fashion Week-inspired outfit ideas for your next night out on the town.
Michael Kors
With a show filled with neutrals and soft shades of navy and green, Kors presented a workable contrast between youth and timeless classics.
try pairing a cropped sweater with a skater skirt. Stick with neutral colors on the bottom, and then feel free to express yourself with
colored knits on top. This look also provides the chance to experiment with makeup and hair.Adding a bright red lipstick or dramatic makeup keeps this outfit young and playful.
Oscar de la Renta
Always a source of ladylike elegance, Oscar de la Renta is the go-to designer for countless celebrities and public figures. Throughout his Spring 2014 collection, onlookers were swept away by a variety of sheer eyelet and lace cuts, pastels and eye-catching accessories.
Crochet and lace tops in whites and creams are a great way to tastefully show a little skin. When paired with leather leggings and a colored pair of heels, you can make a statement without attracting the wrong kind of attention. Keep your undergarments
nude so as to not distract from this chic look.
Raloh Lauren
According to the official Ralph Lauren Collection website, "My Spring 2014 Collection celebrates a simple purity of clean lines and structure, with a nod to the bold spirit and playfulness of swinging London in the late '60s."
So channel your inner Brit by embracing a new sense of color. Look for miniskirts and dresses in bright, eye catching shades of green, orange, pink, yellow and red. Keep in mind bright doesn't necessarily mean neon. Channel your fashion personality by either dressing this look up or down with simplistic jewelry or statement pieces.

Salma Hayek impresses in black leather at Gucci
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN — The fashion crowd moved on to Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday, leaving behind memories of snowy New York and rainy London.
Gucci, Alberta Ferretti and newcomer Fausto Puglisi launched six days of fashion previews for next fall and winter womenswear looks.
winner women in Fashion is Milan's main economic activity — and designers mean business: The Milan runways showcase apparel, shoes and handbags that create revenues of some 15 billion euros ($20 billion), according to a new study for the business daily II Sole 24 Ore, or one-quarter of Italy's entire fashion industry.
The good news for Italy's economy, which remains in the doldrums overall, is that fashion exports are on the rise, hitting a record 45 billion last year.
PROJECTING FEMALE POWER
Salma Hayek is all about female power. It's at the heart of the "Chime for Change" project she is running with Gucci designer Frida Giannini and singer Beyonce. And it is in the strong leather look she wore to Gucci's front row. Hayek wore a mod leather beret with a double-breasted leather jacket, skirt and black patent leather platform boots from Gucci's pre-fall 2014 collection. The look was set off with a purple python fringe shoulder bag.
Hayek hinted that there will be some news soon on the "Chime for Change" — a Gucci project launched last year to promote education, health and justice for girls and women throughout the world.

MADRID FASHION WEEK 2015
says she starts work this spring on a new movie, "The Tales of Tales," by Italian director Matteo Garrone.
GUCCI'S LUSCIOUS TEXTURES
"I love it. I want to touch everything. It's so soft, and so beautiful," Hayek said after the womenswear preview show for next fall and winter that marked the launch of Milan Fashion Week.
Hayek gushed over the softness of Gucci's lusciously textured looks for next winter — from supple leather to shaggy fur.
A model wears a creation for Alberta Ferretti women's Fall-Winter 2014-15 collection, part of the Milan Fashion Week, unveiled in Milan, Italy, on Wednesday.
Giannini's looks for next fall and winter are soft in both color and mood - even if sticking with decidedly Gucci and winter materials like leather and fur. The colors were snatched from your favorite Crayola box of yesteryear: cornflower blue, sage green, brushed pink blush - set off by neutrals in tan, black and camel.
A-line Nappa leather mini dresses had ruffled fronts — a testament to the suppleness of the materials. Waistlines were higher, and hemlines were short, showing off knee-high leather high-heeled boots. Suits were slim-fitting, contrasting nicely with shaggy colored furs that give a carefree flounce with every step. For evening wear, there were romantic leather mini-dresses with bejeweled tops — worn with big crystal bracelets.
ROMANTIC NATURALISM
Alberta Ferretti's looks appear to have sprung from the woodlands, crafted from feathers, finished in fur and draped in romantic lace.
C
"I love it. I want to touch everything. It's so soft, and so beautiful."
SALMA HAYEK
Actress
Ferretti said the looks were created "for women who are real and a little special."
She's a hunter: Wispy feathers formed a skirt while black feathers provide a sturdy armor for the breast. She's a romantic: draped in sheer pleated fabric accented with contrasting lace. She's practical nymph: woolen laden shifts provide sturdy elegance. She's a landscape itself: jaccard detailing form concentric circles that give shape and texture to a dress, finished at the hemline and neckline with tufts of feathers. Colors were earthy olive, orange, crimson and blues.
Ferretti completed the looks with strappy sandals were worn with ankle socks, or romantic ballerinas.
FLOUNCE THAT!
"Did you see lite, movement?" Italian designer Fausto Puglisi asked back stage.
Puglisi's looks created a kaleidoscope of color as they moved down the black runway in the glare of half a dozen spotlights: triangles of red and blue, trapezoids of green, yellow, lavender — all against a black background as if the shapes were performers on a stage.
The collection was as uplifting as a circus skit, yet with a rock 'nroll edge — evoked with spikes, studs and jewels. The strength of the collection was in the structure of the pieces. On one end of the spectrum was a pleated skirt that fans flat across the body, or another flat eye-shaped skirt suggestive of a costume in its Harlequin diamond pattern. There were also softer looks, silky shirts, soft sweaters worn with satiny pleated skirts.
The looks themselves projected varied lifestyles, from tough East Village rocker in leggings and a graphic T-shirt to Midtown professional in a belted sweater over a knee-length pleated skirt, yet all were united in their bold geometry and color scheme. Or, as Puglisi summed up the dichotomy, "polished vs. rebellious."
Puglisi, who is creative director for Ungaro in Paris and began last year showing his own line in Milan, credits his success to his experience in the United States, where he became a darling of the Hollywood crowd. He paid tribute in this collection with the Statue of Liberty featured as a recurring motif.

Texas Tech, for example, has a required $57.20 fee built in to a student's tuition that pays entry to all athletic events. Kansas, on the other hand, has a required $25 fee and an optional $150 student ticket package combination, which includes entry to football and basketball games.
Kansas State gives students three different options for ticket packages. The most expensive is a $295 "CAT" football and men's basketball combo pass offering students premiere seating, two T-shirts, early entry and priority on post-season events.
Of the four schools, Kansas' all sports package is the cheapest by nearly $100, and its required fee is the second lowest.
Of the nine Big 12 schools accounted for in Catt's report (TCU is a private institution and not required to disclose its financial information), Kansas ranks sixth in total student support between its ticket sales
and student-fee-generated revenue.
If the fee were removed, Kansas Athletics would stand last in financial student support, nearly $1 million behind Oklahoma — currently last in the conference.
WHAT IF THE FEE GOES?
Both Jim Marchiony and Pat Kaufman, Kansas Athletics CFO, stressed the importance of this fee for the University's compliance with Title IX standards.
"It's an important piece of our effort to ensure travel for women's and non-revenue sports is equitable," Marchiony said.
The question of the fee's necessity remains at the heart of Student Senate's debate.
Student Senate has $50,000 this year in funding for student organizations — a third of what previous Senates have been able to disburse, according to a previous Kansan report. Athletics' revenue totaled $93.6 million in 2013.
exist, the student-athlete experience would change very little," Catt said on Monday. "I think there would be a way to make up that revenue."
Should this budget hole
If the fee is lowered or eliminated Kansas Athletics will have to find an alternate way to sustain its current level of funding. Marchiony was asked if that includes raising the $150 student ticket package.
"Everything would be on the table," Marchiony said. "We would search in every way possible to raise the money."
In Monday's meeting, Debbie Van Saun, senior associate athletics director and senior woman administrator, said the support from the University goes a long way for women's and non-revenue sports.
"This University and this institution has chosen to not make it always about the dollars and the cents," Van Saun said. "This institution found it philosophically appropriate as a whole to support women's and non-revenue sports."

Kidnapped girl found dead in Missouri man's home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - A middle-school football coach has been jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder in the abduction and death of a 10-year-old girl in southwest Missouri, police said Wednesday.
A body believed to be that of Hailey Owens was found Wednesday at a Springfield home owned by the suspect, Police Chief Paul Williams said at a news conference. Official confirmation won't occur until after an autopsy, but the chief said police "have a high degree of confidence" in the preliminary identification. He did not disclose the child's cause of death.
Police say Craig Michael Wood,45,is jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder but formal charges have not been filed. The Greene County prosecutor is reviewing the case.
Hailey was walking to a friend's home in Springfield just before 5 p.m. Tuesday. Witnesses told investigator*
that a man in a gold 2008 Ford Ranger pickup truck drove down the street several times before abducting the child, who was just several blocks from her own home.
Wood was arrested late Tuesday inside his truck parked outside his small, single-story home.
The Springfield School District said Wood is a seventh-grade football coach and teacher's aide who supervises in-school suspensions at a school for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Hailey did not attend that school, and Williams said the two apparently didn't know each other.
"There's no connection that we've been able to determine at this time between the victim and the suspect," he said.
Williams said police have no idea of a motive for the killing. He said the suspect has not talked to investigators since his arrest.
girl's disappearance was "a tragedy" but declined further comment.
The suspect's father, Jim Wood of Ash Grove, Mo., told The Associated Press that the
About 30 Springfield police investigators along with an FBI evidence response team searched the area near Wood's home Wednesday morning, as well as a nearby coin-operated laundry.
A records search shows Wood had little criminal history. He pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance in 1990 in Greene County and was fined $100.
Springfield School District Superintendent Norm Ridder said in a statement Wednesday that Wood began working for the district in August 1998 and is a paraprofessional and coach at Pleasant View K-8 School. Ridder said Wood has been suspended since his arrest.
School spokesman Teresa Bledsoe later said that Wood was initially hired as a temporary employee who worked as a substitute teacher before he was hired full time in 2006.
