KATE MILLER news@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., was recently named one of America's 100 best hospitals in Healthgrades report. The hospital was one of two Kansas hospitals to be ranked and the only one in the Kansas City area.
Healthgrades is a company that develops ratings for quality and safety of health care providers across the nation. In conducting this report, the company consulted data on patient outcomes and mortality rates from 2010 to 2012.
"It doesn't surprise me at all," said Dr. Pavika Saripalli of Watkins Health Center. "I think they have excellent patient outcomes, and I think that's what Healthgrades
mostly looks at — your rate of complications and patient satisfaction. We know locally that [KU Med] scored great on both those indexes."
Watkins Health Center primarily refers complicated or long term cases to KU Med. Saripalli said that's because the hospital provides high quality health care.
"If they can get to Kansas City and KU has room in their clinic, we always refer our complex cases to them," Saripalli said. "We feel totally comfortable with the care that [patients] get."
Saripalli also explained that Healthgrades' ranking of KU Med could play a role in medical students' opportunities in the future. In addition to receiving a great education, the national prestige will give students credentials that will be recognized across the
country.
With that in mind, projects like the Health Education Initiative, which seeks to add new buildings to the Kansas City campus and increase class size, have an opportunity to be recognized and supported. The expansion is estimated to cost $75 million and funds are still being sought.
"We feel totally comfortable with the care that [patients] get."
PAVIKA SARIPALLI Watkins doctor
With a 100 percent job placement for students upon graduation, the school certainly plays a role in supplying Kansas with its lack of physicians and pharmacists, Audus said.
The initiative's goal isn't just to expand the medical program, it's also to address the shortage of physicians in Kansas today.
According to Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy, this accreditation only solidified what the school's administration already knew.
"We understand, as the only school of pharmacy in Kansas, it is up to us to continually meet the needs of our state in terms of producing the best educated and most prepared class of pharmacy graduates that we can produce each year," Audus said in an email.
["The rating] helps to reassure people in government that the money they've already invested has not gone to waste," Saripalli said. "They're getting good results with their money, and they shouldn't be afraid to continue funding."
Another honor also boosts the University's recognition in the medical field. The School of Pharmacy earned an eight-year accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. This is the maximum accreditation a school can receive.

The school had to meet 30 prescribed and rigorous standards to be accredited. The evaluation team cited the academic program, strong basic science component, excellent facilities and inclusive self-evaluation process, as well as leadership by the dean,
in its report.

Senate committee votes to eliminate Athletics fee
The Student Senate Fee Review Committee voted to eliminate the $25 semesterly fee paid by students to the Athletics Department Saturday evening.
This is the second step for Senate in eliminating the $25 fee benefiting travel for Kansas women's and non-revenue sports. Students will pay between $1.2 and $1.3 million to the Athletic department this year.
Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony and Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler would not immediately comment on the committee's decision.
The voting members on the Fee Review Committee include: select Senate staff members and representatives of the four Senate legislative bodies — the Multicultural Affairs Committee, the Student Rights Committee, the University Affairs Committee and Finance Committee.
On Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee will pass, amend or postpone a bill to eliminate the fee. The bill, unless postponed, will be voted on by full Senate on Wednesday, March 12.
From there, the bill goes to Tetwiler's desk for him to sign off on the Senate's decision. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little then has the opportunity to vet the bill.

House committee votes to return higher ed funding
DALTON KINGERY news@kansan.com
The Kansas House Appropriations committee recommended a new and increased higher education budget last week. The proposed budget closely follows the recommendations made by Governor Sam Brownback and would return a portion of the funding that was cut from Kansas universities and colleges last year.
The new proposal includes $2 million set aside for the Kansas Institute of Translational Chemical Biology, a pharmaceutical research and development facility, as well as $70,000 for the Rural Health Bridging Program operated by the
"This facility will help develop new drugs for people that need them," said Cameron Johnson, a third-year pharmacy student from Kansas City, Kan., referring to the Kansas Institute of Translational Chemical Biology. "Having that kind of facility here at KU will obviously help facilitate drug development and formulation and add to the prestige of our University as a whole."
University of Kansas Medical Center. Plans to issue bonds will generate $25 million for the University's Earth Energy Environment Center are also included in the bill.
Absent from the new legislation are plans to fund the creation of a new health edu
cation building in Kansas City. The current health education building, Orr-Major, opened in 1976 and is severely outdated and has struggled to accommodate modern health education needs according to a fact sheet put together by KU Med. In comparison, the Universities of Nebraska and Colorado's health education buildings are six and seven years old, respectively.
Representative Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, said that the new health education building's absence from the budget is likely a result of insufficient government funds. The issue of insufficient funds has been further

"It likely wasn't a high priority for the Governor when he was planning the budget," Ballard said. "The point is, we are not putting ourselves in a position to get a building we need. We need a state-of-the-art building if we are to teach a state-of-the-art curriculum."

World scrambles as Russia tightens grip on Crimea
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine - Warning that it was "on the brink of disaster," Ukraine put its military on high alert Sunday and appealed for international help to avoid what it feared was the possibility of a wider invasion by Russia.
УКРАЁНА
ЗБРОМНА СМАН
Outrage over Russia's military moves mounted in world capitals, with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry calling on President Vladimir Putin to pull back from "an incredible act of aggression."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Russia captured the Crimean Peninsula on Saturday, causing Ukraine to put its military on high alert Sunday. Protesters outside the U.S. Embassy in Kiev chanted, "Support us, America!"
A day after Russia captured the Crimean Peninsula without firing a shot, fears grew in the Ukrainian nation and beyond that Russia might seek to expand its control by seizing other parts of eastern Ukraine. Senior Obama administration officials said the U.S. now believes that Russia has complete operational control of Crimea, a pro-Russian area of the country, and has more than 6,000 troops in the region.
Faced with the Russian threat, Ukraine's new government moved to consolidate its authority, naming new regional governors in the pro-Russia east, enlisting the support of the country's wealthy businessmen and dismissing the head of the country's navy after he declared allegiance to the pro-Russian government in Crimea.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said there was no reason for Russia to invade Ukraine and warned that "we are on the brink of disaster."
"We believe that our Western partners and the entire global community will support the territorial integrity and unity of Ukraine," he said Sunday in Kiev.
World leaders rushed to try to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
to support its new government and Kerry was to travel to Ukraine on Tuesday. The U.S., France and Britain debated the possibility of boycotting the next Group of Eight economic summit, to be held in June in Sochi, the host of Russia's successful Winter Olympics.

"We are on the brink of disaster."
On Sunday evening, the White House issued a joint statement on behalf of the Group of Seven saying they are suspending participation
in the planning for the upcoming summit because Russia's advances in the Ukraine violate the "principles and values" on which the G-7 and G-8 operate.
In Kiev, Moscow and other cities, thousands of protesters took to the streets to either decry the Russian occupation or celebrate Crimea's return to its former ruler.
"Support us, America!" a group of protesters chanted outside the U.S. Embassy in Kiev. One young girl held up a placard reading: "No Russian aggression!"
"Russia! Russia!" the crowd chanted in Moscow.
chained in Moscow. Kerry, interviewed on U.S. television news shows, talked about boycotting the G-8 summit, as well as possible visa bans, asset freezes and trade and investment penalties against Russia. All the
foreign ministers he talked to were prepared "to go to the hilt" to isolate Russia, Kerry said.
President Barack Obama also spoke Sunday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, and Polish President Bronisław Komorowski.
NATO issued a statement saying it "condemns Russia's military escalation in Crimea" and demanding that Russia respect its obligations under the U.N. charter. Ukraine is not a NATO member, meaning the U.S. and Europe are not obligated to come to its defense, but the country has taken part in some alliance exercises.
We are on a very dangerous track," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said. But "it is still possible to
turn around. A new division of Europe can still be prevented."
So far, however, Ukraine's new government and the West have been powerless to counter Russia's tactics. Armed men in uniforms without insignia have moved freely about Crimea for days, occupying airports, smashing equipment at an air base and besieging a Ukrainian infantry base.
Putin has defied calls from the West to pull back his troops, insisting that Russia has a right to protect its interests and those of Russian-speakers in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine. His confidence is matched by the knowledge that Ukraine's 46 million people have divided loyalties.

Man arrested on purpose has second thoughts
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — A convicted Missouri felon who intentionally got himself arrested late last year so he would have someplace to stay after an ice storm said he is having second thoughts about the decision that landed him a four-year stay with the state Department of Corrections.
Roy Murphy, 43, walked into a St. Joseph convenience store in November, approached the clerk and asked her for all of the money in the cash register. He didn't carry a weapon, didn't threaten her and even asked if she wanted him to put on an Army-green "hoodie-like" stocking cap he had brought with him.
was arrested 10 minutes later.
"I don't know what I was thinking," Murphy told the newspaper. "It was just one of those things where I kind of gave up."
He was convicted of attempting to physically take property from a victim, a felony, and was sentenced to four years.
She told him to leave, and later said she was less scared than confused. The Kansas City Star reported. When she picked up her cellphone, Murphy told her to go ahead and call police.
Murphy's public defender, Joshua Bachman, said he considers it one of the more bizarre cases of his career, but he doesn't think it's unheard of.
In December, Murphy — who had already spent nearly 14 years behind bars, starting
"I've been out for a year. I've got nothing, and I don't know how to make it on the outside."
He then walked outside and
ROY MURPHY Man arrested
when he was 19 — told a judge he had demanded money from the clerk for the sole purpose of getting sent back to prison.
"I intended to go to prison," he told Judge Patrick Robb, according to the St. Joseph News-Press. "I've been out for a year. I've got nothing, and I don't know how to make it on the outside."
"Life inside the institution and life outside the institution, they both have their challenges." Bachman said. "And for an individual that has learned how to adapt to the difficulties inside the institution, but not necessarily the outside life, it can be difficult."
It's hard to stay out of trouble after being released from prison, Murphy said, especially for someone who doesn't have anywhere to stay, nor even a place to do laundry.
"When you get right out of prison with 55 in your pocket, and they drop you off in society, I don't know what they really expect you to do."
After being released from his last stint in prison in July 2012, he spent some time in Joplin and briefly lived in a small town in southeast Kansas, according to the newspaper.
Murphy eventually met Brady Rodgers, a Platte City minister who owns the local Comfort Inn. Rodgers took a liking to him, offering him a maintenance job at his hotel and a temporary place to stay.
"He was with me for about a week and a half, doing a great job; my staff really liked him," Rodgers said.
After working a shift at the hotel Nov. 21, Murphy went to St. Joseph to see his sister. That's when an ice storm hit,
stranding him in St. Joseph with no place to stay because his sister's live-in boyfriend was on parole and couldn't have contact with other ex-convicts.
He knew he wouldn't be able to make it back to work, which likely meant another lost job, and he was still three weeks away from his first full paycheck that would let him get a place of his own.
In hindsight, Murphy said he would have done things differently, such as calling his boss and trying to explain the situation.
"Nobody actually wants to be here," he says. "I mean, I could not legitimately say that I honestly wanted to be here. And I don't want to be here. But I am here, because of the choice I made."
He will be eligible for parole in November 2015.

Iditarod sled dog race gets underway in Alaska
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILLOW, Ala. — A New Zealander was the first musher en route to the town of Nome when the Itditarod Trail Sled Dog Race began Sunday.
Curt Perano and 68 other mushers began the world's most famous sled-dog race by crossing frozen Willow Lake about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Anchorage.
It was a staggered start, meaning one musher left every two minutes. The order was drawn at a musher's banquet Thursday night in Anchorage.
The finish line is on Front Street in Nome, which runs parallel to the Bering Sea coast. Standing between the mushers and the finish line are about 1,000 miles of unforgiving Alaska terrain, including two mountain ranges, untamed wilderness, the mighty Yukon River and the wind-whipped Bering Sea coast.
Among those in the field are Mitch Seavey, last year's champion, and his son, Dallas Seavey, the 2012 winner.
"The last two winners might create more media interest," Dallas Seavey said before the race started. "But it doesn't mean that we're necessarily the two most competitive racers this year."
Adding to the uncertainty of this year's race is an influx of Scandinavian mushers, including two-time champion Robert Sorlie.
"I don't think we're trying to take it over," Sorlie said.
Instead, there are so many Scandinavians here because the Iditarod is the world standard for long-distance dog races, he said.
The influx of five Norwegians, or "invasion" as Yvonne Dabakk of Oslo described it, is likely just a coincidence, she said.
Dabakk said she believes all had independent plans to race the Iditarod, "and it was this year."
If she gets it, the buckle goes to her husband. "Without him, I couldn't be on the trail line at all, so I'm going to get him a buckle," Dabakk said.
She is a rookie this year, and she wants the prize given to all first-year mushers to finish the race; a belt buckle.
Aaron Burmeister wants to be the first musher from Nome to win the Iditarod.
We haven't had a winner from Nome yet. I'm working as hard as I can to be able to do that," he said.
Burmeister welcomes the return of the Norwegian mushers because they bring more competition to the race.
Allen Moore of Two Rivers, Alaska, last month won his second consecutive Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race. The conditions now are the same as they were for the
"When I win the Iditarod, I want to have the best competition in the world there," Burmeister said.
The trail conditions could prove to be an advantage for one musher's wife.
start of the Quest, he said.
His wife, musher Aliy Zirkle, will be using this team on the race while Moore races other dogs.
Zirkle has finished second in the iditarod the last two years, and her team might give her the needed boost this year because trail familiarity in the Yukon Quest.
It was a beautiful day for fans at the restart of the race, with temperatures in the high teens.
Marshall's race strategy is simple: He just wants to finish the race. He plans to take it slow and simple "and get to Nome," he said.
"Our dogs have gone over 1,000 miles, and they know what to expect," Moore said
The Sunday event in Willow followed a ceremonial start Saturday in downtown Anchorage. At that fan-friendly event, mushers talked to people and had their pictures taken for hours before taking their sleds on a leisurely 11-mile (18-kilometer) run on urban trails in the city.
The race turned serious Sunday. The Iditarod had a late-a-fternoon start so fans from Fairbanks could get there.
Newton Marshall of St. Anne, Jamaica, is another international musher at the race. He's competing in his fourth Iditarod.
When asked how his team looks, Marshall said: "My team looks ... I'll find out on the trail."

Don't befriend your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend
Isn't it crazy to think that out of all the serious relationships we have in our lives, only one won't end? According to Bowling Green State University's National Center for Marriage and Family Research, our generation is waiting longer than ever to get married, averaging the age of 27 for women and 29 for men.

By that age we have probably gathered up a full list of failed past relationships. So what are you supposed to do with all of them? Which brings an even harder question...
Can you be friends with
I know we have all tried to justify it at some point or another, but let's be honest with ourselves. The answer is no.
After you go down the "I'm in love with you" path, there is no going back to being just friends. It's like eating pizza. Once you eat an entire pizza by yourself, one slice will never satisfy you again. Once you have had a person physically and emotionally all to yourself, converting back to a small piece of them will not suffice.
When ending a relationship with someone.
it's probably best to break it off completely. Go cold turkey. No doubt that breakups are hard, but don't make it even harder on yourself by befriending that person when things clearly didn't work out.
By Kayla Soper
opinion@kansan.com
Who even created this horrible idea of becoming friends with an ex? Keep in mind that, "It's not you it's me, and I still want to be friends," does not actually mean that they want to remain friends. It just means they don't want to feel as
bad about not wanting to be with you. If they aren't being a good enough boyfriend or girlfriend, chances are their friend qualities will suck as well.
You are taking the easy way out if you expect to be friends with an ex right after the break up. You're probably thinking, "You aren't completely losing them in your life if you stay friends. You'll still keep in touch and know how they are doing, and this way you won't be as sad about the change in your relationship status." But what you're really doing is prolonging the hurt.
When your "friend" starts dating other people, will you be a good "friend" and give them dating advice for your replacement? Probably not.
There are more than seven billion people in this world. Not only does that mean you have a lot of other options for new love, but it also means there are more than 6,999,999,998 other people that you can be friends with besides your ex.

That is why, as I was huffing and puffing on my stationary bike at the recreation center, I was dismayed to watch 80 people walk past a discarded towel and not pick it up. At passerby number 81, I decided to pull out my phone and perform a little experiment
During a two-minute clip I counted 20 more people pass by the towel. Finally, one young lady looked directly at the towel, picked it up, asked if it belonged to any of the onlookers and then put in the towel bin. That's my kind of woman.

Later that night I was thinking about what had happened at the rec.I was truly bothered and a little angered that so many people my own age had strolled past a tripping hazard, an eyesore and a missed opportunity to be a good citizen. I started to wonder — are we really lazy?
There had to be an alternate answer. Shockingly, I spared some time from the TV and thought about if for a while, a strange turn of events for someone from "Generation Y You so Lazy!" I came to the
conclusion, using the powers of my very own brain, that my generation, my friends, my colleagues and my peers are not lazy; rather, we are distracted.
As a group of people born between 1982 and 2000, we have a lot to think about. From climate change to student debt, it's easy for our minds to be weighed down with worry. With this new idea, I stopped and re-evaluated.
Maybe the gentleman who walked past the towel three times didn't see it because he was thinking about how his father's unemployment checks won't be arriving anymore. Perhaps the girl headed to the treadmill was worried about her grandmother losing her SNAP benefits. And perhaps the girl who stepped directly over the towel was thinking about her relatives in Ukraine, facing bloodshed and a potential civil war.
We were raised in a society littered with social media, ruthless advertising campaigns and the consequences of globalization. In a
single day, a person can see up to 5,000 advertisements, consume and wear products from all around the world and be inundated with sensational international news from multiple 24-hour networks. No wonder we are distracted. Our globalized society is pulling our attention in every direction at once. Meanwhile, our consumer culture is telling us to focus on things rather than people and communities.
SEE A VIDEO OF THE TOWEL INCIDENT AT KANSAN.COM/OPINION
We have lost sight of what is truly important. We have lost sight of what that towel stands for. It is not simply a wayward towel in need of a kind soul to place it in a laundry bin. No, that towel represents all the world's problems that we are too distracted to see.
While that towel sits there, the climate is changing, the income gap is widening and our democratic system is failing to serve our most at-risk populations. It is time that we shed our lazy façade masquerading as our true character and become the generation that changes the world. Let's wake up, get up and live up to our potential.

FFA OF THE DAY
If you don't have a brain, please don't speak...especially before I've had my coffee.
Put away the laptop, handwrite class notes
In class, do you take notes by hand or do you open up your laptop and start typing as the professor lectures? Is one method superior to the other? Is one more helpful in memory and recall? Some say it depends on the person, but according to various studies, it's time to invest in some notebooks, pencils and pens. Put away your laptops.
Data from a study at Indiana University suggests we're better off writing by hand. Karin Harman lames, assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience, tested children by showing them letters before and after receiving different letter-learning instruction. Children who wrote the letters by hand, as opposed to just looking at them, showed enhanced neural activity. The study shows how writing by hand engages the brain in learning. Rather than just identifying keys on a keyboard, we create each letter stroke by stroke. It's definitely not as fast, but it's excellent for our brains.
An additional experiment conducted by Jean-Luc Velay at the University of Marseille shows that different parts of our brain are used when we read letters we've written as opposed to those we only recognize from typing on a keyboard. Movements used when writing by hand leave a motor memory in the sensorimotor part of the brain. Such data leads scientists to
Writing integrates three processes: visual (the paper in front of you), motor (motor skills used when contacting the paper with the pen) and cognitive (remembering the shapes of letters). Taking notes by hand also allows us to filter out the most important information and create bullets and outlines seamlessly.

believe a connection exists between reading and writing.
But all studies aside, taking notes by hand is better for many obvious reasons. Having your laptop in class is distracting, not only to you, but also to the people behind you. While you look at cat memes, your newsfeed and Reddit posts, your education passes you by. Also, taking notes with a keyboard for some classes is nearly impossible. Think of finding all the Greek notations for your math classes or drawing price floor graphs for economics on your word processor. We don't need scientific studies to prove that some tasks are more difficult with Microsoft Word than if you were to write them by hand.
Lastly, if we grow too accustomed to typing everything, we will be in sore shape when exams come.
During finals week, when you have to fill out Bluebook essays for English or history your hand will become easily fatigued, your penmanship will lag and your professor will have to strain to read you what you have written.
It's time to strengthen your hand, your learning and your retention. Next time you're in class, take out a notebook and pencil.

Pharrell Williams – "G I R L"
February was a busy month for music, with new content being released nearly every week and several concerts to attend in the area. March isn't looking like it'll be as busy as February, but that doesn't mean that there won't be anything going on. Here's what to look out for in the month of March.
Pharrell Williams hasn't had a solo album since 2006's "In My Mind," which was definitely not on par to his previous work with N.E.R.D. After eight long years, Williams finally returns with "G I R L," which he describes as a tribute to women. The album features the 2013 single "Happy" from the "Despicable Me 2" soundtrack, as well as collaborations with
Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus. "G1R L" officially drops on March 3 but is available to stream for free on iTunes.
Rick Ross - "Mastermind"
Rick Ross' work since his stellar 2010 album "Teflon Don" hasn't been too great. He's had a few hits since then, but none of his projects have been able to compare to the overall quality of "Teflon Don." With his latest effort,"Mastermind," Ross returns to his previous glory. The production on the album is amazing and lyrically, Ross is top-notch. The album officially comes out March 4, but is currently available to stream for free on iTunes

Disney ends funding to Boy Scouts over gay policy
LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Company will cut funding to the Boy Scouts of America beginning in 2015 because of a policy that bans gay adult leaders in the organization.
The Boy Scouts organization is "disappointed" by the decision, which will affect the organization's ability to serve children, Deron Smith, a Boy Scouts spokesman, said in a statement Sunday. Disney does not provide direct funding to the Boy Scouts, but it donates money to some troops in exchange for volunteer hours completed by Disney employees, he said.
"We believe every child deserves the opportunity to be a part of the
David Jefferson, chief spokesman for The Walt Disney Company, did not respond to calls or emails.
March won't be nearly as busy as February, but there are still some quality releases and concerts to catch. Hopefully April will have more to offer.
Scouting experience and we are disappointed in this decision because it will impact our ability to serve kids," he said.
Disney's decision came to light after the president of a local Boy Scout council based in Orlando, Fla., where Disney World is based, sent a memo alerting local troops to the decision.
The memo was posted on the website of Scouts for Equality, an organization that is critical of the Boy Scouts' policy to ban adult gay troop leaders.
The Boy Scouts lifted a ban on gay youth last year.

On March 17, Childish Gambino will be taking his "Deep Web" tour to Kansas City, Mo. The tour is promoting his new album "Because the Internet," but he can be expected to also perform songs from the rest of his discography. Tickets start at $29.50 and can be purchased at thedeepwebtour.com.

Creed Bratton proud of his 'cult following'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — On NBC's "The Office," the character Creed Bratton was a shadowy quality-assurance director at Scranton's Dunder Mifflin paper company.
Over eight years of episodes, viewers learned only sketchy details about Bratton.
Some of those details are true both of the actor and character. Creed Bratton is the actor's name. And the real-life Bratton, like the Dunder Mifflin worker, had been a hippie, went through financially difficult times and created great music as a member of the 1960s pop-rock group The Grass Roots.
"The Creed character has got this cult following." Bratton says in a phone call from California. "The college kids just love this guy. I hope sometimes they're not too disappointed to find out I'm actually an actor playing him."
Bratton says fanatics aren't likely to be disappointed with his live show. "I will bring him out on stage to annoy the people, for sure," he says with a laugh. "I tell them how to be Creed, basically. How to Creed-up their life a bit, you know? Creed-ify their existence."
a "Samuel Clemens-y, hopefully humorous" series of anecdotes about his life, from "all the crazy stuff I went through before The Grass Roots even happened, then The Grass Roots, then all the very down periods — which there's always humor in that, too."
Bratton says the show will be
to find a band to play songs they recorded themselves as The Grass Roots, including the hit "Where Were You When I Needed You." The 13th Floor became The Grass Roots.
He'll talk about "The Office," the mockumentary show that became a cultural phenomenon, ranked atop many critics' lists and won four prime time Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2006. He'll punctuate each tale with a song.
Bratton's group lost its bassist to the Vietnam War draft and brought in new vocalist Rob Grill, who sang on the group's biggest hits, "Live For Today" and "Midnight Confessions." Bratton recorded four albums, appeared on "American Bandstand" and toured with The Grass Roots as it set a record for most continuous weeks having a song on the charts.
"I can tell them how to be Creed, basically. How to Creed-up their life a bit."
CREED BRATTON
Actor
But Bratton says he became disillusioned when producers chose to have famed Los Angeles studio musicians The Wrecking Crew play on the albums rather than the real band. The iconic guitar riff on "Let's Live for Today," for example, was Sloan's, Bratton says.
"The other guys were fine
with it; I was not fine with it," Bradton says. "Because I play, I'm an artist. It's not the ego as much as it's, 'Hey, this what I do,' and I take pride in it. So c'mon. So anyway, that was the big bone of contention why I left the group, basically."
Bratton, 71, became a professional musician during his college years and played throughout Europe before forming The 13th Floor in 1966.
If the stories are anything like the real Bratton's life, they're sure to be interesting.
A year later, producers/ songwriters P.E. Sloan and Steve Barri were scrambling
Bratton drifted into acting, appearing in small roles on TV shows such as "Eight is Enough" and "Quincy, M.E." and in movies such as "Heart Like a Wheel" and "Mask," and continued to release music sporadically, mostly singles. It wasn't until 2001, more than 30 years after leaving The Grass Roots, that he released his first full album, "Chasin' The Ball," which was a compilation of those singles.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bratton says there also were times when he was collecting unemployment benefits.
"This was the period where I was really down and out," he says. "Not starving; I was still working. I was doing all kinds of different jobs because I'm a hard-working guy. I managed to stay alive. I had child support; I had to keep working."
Needing a job, he took a position as a stand-in on "The Bernie Mac Show," and "I would joke around and they found out I was funny, so they started giving me bits ... a few lines here and there."
He says director Ken Kwapis
Creed Bratton's "Office" character has attracted many followers. His character is loosely based on what his life would be like if he were still doing drugs.
found out he had been in "The Grass Roots," and he was a big pop fan, so he sent his assistant to get a couple of albums to autograph and we chatted." Kwapis was going to direct the pilot for "The Office," and Bratton says "I literally called him up. ... My little voice said, 'See what you can do.'"
Kwapis told Bratton the show had been cast, but they would put him in the background. Bratton responded by creating "a character based loosely on what would have happened if I had continued with my rock 'n' roll ways and still had dropped acid and still did drugs and stuff.

Jimmy Fallon, Chicago mayor take a chilly dip
1980
Jimmy Fallon, host of "The Tonight Show," participated in "Polar Plunge" on Sunday morning in exchange for Chicago's mayor, Rahm Emanuel, appearing on his show.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"If you hear a scream like a little girl's ... know that Jimmy Fallon is swimming in Lake Michigan," Fallon told the crowd shortly before running in.
Chicago Public Library T-shirt and shorts, went first, with Fallon just after. Both were soaked as they fled the water to cheers from a large crowd. A group of bagpipers, wearing yellow rain boots and traditional kilts, provided the soundtrack for their rapid dash into the 32-degree lake.
Emanuel, wearing a green
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Comedian Jimmy Fallon took a quick but icy dip in Lake Michigan — dressed in a full shirt and tie — eyes bulging as he darted out of the slushy water and headed straight for a pile of dry towels. "The Tonight Show" host made good on his promise to make Sunday morning's "Polar Plunge" with Mayor Rahm Emanuel as a condition for the mayor appearing on Fallon's show in New York, following an exchange of tweets and challenges.
The annual event draws several thousand hearty plungers to raise money for Special Olympics Chicago.
scores of people dressed in parkas and polar bear outfits, some carrying signs, gathered along the lakefront early, hoping to catch a glimpse of Fallon. It was 10 degrees during the plunge, and Chicago firefighters in red wetsuits waded in before the waves of brave souls, throwing chunks of ice out of the area.
Seventeen-year-old high school senior Marilyn Lamanna and a friend got up at 5 a.m. to snag a spot where they hoped to watch the feat unfold. With them was a large, cardboard cutout of Fallon's head, which caught his eye. He gave the shrieking girls brief hugs before darting off to take the plunge, telling them, "I've got to go meet the mayor."
"Between Jimmy Fallon and the Special Olympics, it doesn't get much better than that, even though it's super cold," Lamanna said.
Emanuel said last summer that if city's children read two million books as part of a Chicago Public Library program called "Rahm's Readers," he'd jump in the lake.

Wichita State Cleanthony Early goes up for a shot in the second half against Missouri State Gavin Thurman and Christian Kirk at Koch Arena in Wichita on March 1. The host Shockers won 68-45.
Both Kansas and Wichita State can make a case as a top seed
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
the first week of March brings the final regular-season games in some conferences, the beginning of tournaments in others.
It also ramps up speculation on NCAA Tournament seeding, and two of the more intriguing conversations when the selection committee meets starting next week could involve Kansas schools.
Where to place the Jayhawks and Shockers?
Kansas and Wichita State have top-seed credentials, but their resumes will cover different discussion points.
The Jayhawks fell to 22-7 after Saturday's loss at Oklahoma State. With two games remaining, Kansas has matched the most regular-season losses in the Bill Self era. His 2004 and 2006 teams also lost seven, and both of those teams were No. 4 seeds in the tournament.
Seven losses, a four seed, sounds about right. Last year's No. 4 seeds, including Kansas State, averaged 7.25 losses. Two of those teams reached the Final Four, Syracuse and Michigan, and the teams combined for 15 losses headed into the tournament.
But Kansas, if the field was selected today, wouldn't be on that line. The Jayhawks could be a No.1, and no worse than a No.2.
In selecting and seeding teams, the selection committee has made a point of recognizing scheduling risks. It serves as an influence this way: Play
a tough schedule and you'll be rewarded.
Turns out, Kansas has played perhaps the toughest schedule in its history. The Jayhawks knew they were jumping into the fire against the likes of Florida, Duke, San Diego State and New Mexico, along with the Bahamas tournament that featured Villanova.
But many other Big 12 teams performed at a high level in November and December, enough to be make the Big 12 the highest-rated conference.
We'll see what that means once the NCAA Tournament begins, but for Kansas, it's meant playing 19 of 29 games so far against teams in the RPI top 50. KU is 12-7 in those games. The next closest in victories is Arizona, 10-2, and second on the list of games played is Texas with 15.
Wichita State is 3-0 against the RPI top 50. That's the fewest number of games played against teams on that list among the nation's top 35 teams.
+
But the Shockers, who wrapped up their regular-season at 31-0 with Saturday's victory over Missouri State, can accomplish something that hasn't happened since 1991.
If Wichita State can win the Missouri Valley tournament, which begins Thursday in St. Louis, the Shockers will become the first team to enter the NCAA undefeated since UNLV in 1991. It would have occurred for the 18th time in the tournament's 76 years. The last team to accomplish the
feat before Jerry Tarkanian's Runnin Rebels was Indiana State with Larry Bird in 1979.
Just as the committee makes a statement about scheduling, it also does with monumental achievement.
The best example came a decade ago. The 2004 St. Joseph's team roared to a 27-0 regular-season finish with five victories against the RPI top 50.
Fraud, they were called by critics, none more higher profile than CBS commentator Billy Packer, who claimed St. Joseph's was undeserving of its top seed, prompting Hawks coach Phil Martelli to fire back.
St. Joe's lost its Atlantic-10 tournament opener to a solid Xavier team, but the swirl around the committee that weekend involved the Hawks.
The Shockers as a top seed has the support of those who project brackets on national websites and perhaps those daily reminders have softened potential criticism of the possibility.
At this point, Florida and Arizona are solid top seeds, and on my projection the Shockers are right behind them. The fourth No. 1? Despite Saturday's loss to Virginia, Syracuse would get a close call over Kansas. Wisconsin, Villanova and hard-charging Virginia also are in the mix.
But if the Jayhawks win out, the runaway winner of the nation's top-ranked conference will go to the top, no matter what else happens. It might be there already.

rhythm, let alone the paint
"We stopped getting stops," sophomore forward Perry Ellis said. "We weren't playing defense. That was the key."
Self said the miscues on offense led to the lethargic play on the other end.
Early in the second half, Oklahoma State had connected on just nine of its 31 field goal attempts and trailed the Jayhawks by eight. That didn't matter in the final 10 minutes when Smart put himself in the middle of every play and disoriented Kansas' freshman center Joel Embiid.
"Embidid is an unbelievable shot blocker," Smart said. "But I was always taught you've got to attack a shot blocker."
And once it was gone Kansas scrambled to hang on, getting lost in its own offense. The Cowboys kept adding pressure and the Jayhawks couldn't find a way around it, except to watch the ball go the other way empty possession after empty possession.
After the game Self said the 7-foot freshman "tweaked" his already fragile back - Embiid sat out against TCU in Lawrence with similar issues. But it wasn't just Embiid who fell apart in the final minutes.
The pressure on Embiid may have been more costly than just a tally in the loss column.
"Our defense totally broke down." Self said.
In the locker room afterwards, Self and the team only addressed the accomplishment. No nets were cut, no t-shirts were passed out.
A more dejected team left Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday, heads held low after an OSU team picked to share the Big 12 title with the Jayhawks saved its season by beating them.
Last year at Baylor, Kansas ran into the same issues. Clinching the Big 12 title before the game even started, the Jayhawks played with no urgency en route to an 81-58 loss.
No second to celebrate. No chance to reflect.
Protocio is off to an incredibly hot start for Kansas in the lead off spot. He is currently on a 10-game hitting streak and is batting .364. Protocio has eight RBIs and four of
"We may do something Wednesday," Self said. "If we're successful against Tech."
They Jayhawks never let off the gas as they proceeded to put up 13 more runs on the day. Protocio lead Kansas with four hits and three RBIs on the day, tallying his second triple of the year.

ly, when sophomore infielder Tommy Mirabelli drove in junior infielder Justin Protacio with an RBI groundout.
"I feel great," Protacio said. "I've been trying to get on base for the bigger guys to drive me home. I know my role on this team. I'm the scrapper, I have to get on base whether it's a walk, a hit-by-pitch or a hit."
Michael Tinsley started the game at designated hitter and drove in three runs as well, also recording his second triple of the year. The Jayhawks were able to put up 18 hits on the day and scored a run in all seven innings.

his twenty hits this far have gone for extra bases.
"It feels amazing to contribute," Tinsley said. "Being a freshman, and having an impact on this team, I couldn't have asked for more."
The Jayhawks may have lost their first game of the year this weekend, but they are still 11-1. This is exactly what they could've hoped for, heading into their home opener on Tuesday against Division One powerhouse, Creighton.
"Any time we can play at home, it's huge," Tinsley said. "You can only travel for so long."

Jayhawks' turnover troubles lead to loss against Cowboys
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
Normally reliable, the guards were outplayed on Saturday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena as the Jayhawks committed 22 turnovers in a 72-65 setback to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The trio of junior guard Naadir Tharpe, freshman guard Andrew Wiggins and freshman guard Wayne Selden Jr. combined for 13 turnovers and 36 percent shooting.
The Kansas backcourt is anchored by a veteran and two of the best freshmen in the country.
"We did a poor job handling the ball," coach Bill Self said. "Our guard play wasn't as good as it was in the past."
"Most of our turnovers were self-inflicted." Self said.
Many of the Jayhawks' turnovers were unforced and careless. It's something we saw against Oklahoma State in the teams' last meeting when the Cowboys nearly erased a 19-point deficit. While the Oklahoma State defense frustrated Kansas, many of the turnovers consisted of dribbling into a trio of defenders or getting a traveling violation situations that could have been avoided.

two field goals. The junior point guard failed to take over late in the game and struggled to manage the offense against the Cowboys' 1-3-1 zone defense.
Wiggins, who scored a season-low three points against Oklahoma State on Jan. 18, fared a little better this time around, but still shot poorly, making only five of his 16 field goal attempts in finishing with 15 points.
Selden chipped in 13 points and only committed one turnover, but managed just four points the last nineteen minutes of the game. He finished

in the paint, Oklahoma State shot 15 more free throws and reached the bonus early in the second half.
Led by sophomore guard Marcus Smart, the Cowboys came back from a 10-point deficit with more than 10 minutes remaining. Smart nearly outscored the Jayhawks by himself the rest of the way as he scored 12 points to give the Cowboys their third straight win and keep their NCAA
Tournament hopes alive
"He was playing hard," said sophomore forward Perry Ellis, who finished with 11 points and eight rebounds. "He played real well tonight."
Smart and senior guard Markel Brown each scored 21 points and combined for 19 made free throws — one more than Kansas attempted the entire evening.
Kansas seemed to settle for 3-pointers as it went 5-for-19 from 3-point range, with 18 of the attempts coming from Tharpe, Wiggins and Selden. Poor shooting from the outside has become a trend in the team's conference losses.
"We just weren't aggressive," Selden said. "We weren't attacking like we should've been."
This came after a game where Tharpe, Wiggins and Selden combined for 49 points on 50 percent shooting against Oklahoma.
These guards need to show more consistency heading into the NCAA Tournament, where teams with better defenses than Oklahoma State will be lurking.

Embiid's injury contributes to Kansas' loss to the Cowboys
Freshman center Joel Embiid struggles against an Oklahoma State defender in Saturday's game. Embiid suffered a back injury during the game.
sports@kansan.com
STILLWATER, Okla. - For the majority of Kansas' 72-65 loss to Oklahoma State University, freshman center Joel Embiid played with hustle and aggression. At the end he was hobbling up and down the court on Saturday.
IBLAIR SHEADE
The 7-footer looked to be at full health in the beginning on the game, but slowly broke down as the game progressed.
The nagging back was the same injury that forced Self to sit Embiid against TCU on Feb. 15.
Embiid seemed to return to his progressing form in the first half. He grabbed 12 rebounds, scored eight points and forced three turnovers. He was able to steal a pass, dribble the ball the whole length of the floor and finish the layup. That play showed Embiid's health was not a problem early.
"He tweaked his back," coach Bill Self said.
Meanwhile, he was diving on the floor for loose balls and taking charges to show hard worker mentality.
The effectiveness of Embind on the defensive end was visible in Oklahoma State sophomore guard Marcus Smart's first half stat line. Smart was 0-7 for one point. Embid contested every layup that Smart and the Cowboys took. Smart was getting frustrated.
Those roles switched for Smart and Embid in the second half.
At the 10-minute mark in the second frame, the Jayhawks had a 10-point lead. Then, Embid drove to the basket on the baseline and got fouled to the floor. Embiid's fall left him on the ground for longer than usual. To get Embid upright, freshman guard Wayne Selden Jr. and sophomore forward Jamari Traylor both had to help.
That fall was the turning point for Embiid's health. After that foul, he was limping up the floor and not hustling back on defense. The second half Embiid was a shell of what he was in the beginning.
Smart took advantage of Embiid's inability to play at full strength.
"First of all, I can understand why guys think Embiid
is an incredible shot blocker," Smart said. "That's what he does and he's great at it. I was always taught you have to attack the shot blocker. I had to attack his body and chop him down a little bit, take his legs out from under him."
Smart scored 20 points in the second half and a reason for Smart's turn around could have been Embiid's lack of paint presence.
Even though Embiid was sighted hobbling off the floor, he still managed a 13-point. 13-rebound game, which was his eighth double-double this season. Five of those 13 points and one of those rebounds occurred in the second half, showing how ineffective Embiid was after he reinjured his back.
With Texas and Iowa State losing, the Jayhawks won the outright Big 12 Conference championship honors, but without Embiid, this team wouldn't be in this position. The team will need Embiid to stay healthy if the Jayhawks want a shot at making a run at the NCAA tournament.

Jayhawks break records at Big 12 Championships
AMIE JUST sports@kansan.com
This weekend was one for the record books. From the 800-yard free relay to sophomore Chelsie Miller's performances, to senior Alison Lusk's swim in the 200-yard breaststroke, to the team's performance overall, the Kansas swimmers rewrote Jayhawk swimming history.
The team of senior Morgan Sharp, sophomore Haley Molden, Miller and freshman Allison Merecka smashed the five-year-old University alltime record of 7:13.86 when they clocked in at 7:11.99. The team finished in second place, beating Iowa State, the third place finisher by seven seconds (7:18.24).
"We achieved our goals...in the 800 free relay," said coach Clark Campbell.
After the first day of competition, the Jayhawks were sitting in second place.
"Chelsie's race was well put together", Campbell said. "Every stroke within that race was strong. She struggles more with the 200 IM than the 400 IM, so for her to swim that time was impressive. She will now also be able to swim that race again at nationals, in addition to the 400 IM. I'm proud of her new-best time and new school record."
In the second day of the championships, Miller shattered the seven-year-old University all-time record in the 200-yard individual medley relay (2:00.21) in the prelims, touching the wall with a time of 1:58.98. Miller swam slightly slower in the finals (1:59.25) finishing third.
The meet only got better for the Jayhawks. On the third day of competition, Miller gave Kansas something it had been waiting for since 1999: its first individual conference champion. Not only did she win the conference in the 400-yard IM, she bested her time from last year by seven seconds and broke another school record.
"It was a big night for Chelsie and for KU swimming," said
"Tonight was the most scoring swims we have ever had in a session at the Big 12 Championships."
CLARK CAMPBELL Coach
Campbell. "Her time was faster than what she swam at U.S. Nationals, which will just improve her seed for the NCAA Championships. She swan an awesome race and kicked off a really good night for us, probably one of the best nights we have had at the Big 12 Championships in recent history."
As the day concluded, six different swimmers chalked up seven different place finishes, adding points to the Jayhawk total. Kansas recorded at least two top-eight finishes in every individual swimming event on the third day of competition.
"Tonight was the most scoring swims we have ever had in a session at the Big 12 Championships," Campbell said. "You get the opportunity to do that by swimming very well in the morning. We had a really good morning swim and
got a bunch of lanes for finals and put a lot of points on the board"
With the solid performances by the Jayhawks through the meet, Kansas was sitting in second place, only behind Texas with one day of competition to go.
The final day of competition brought another record breaking performance from the Jayhawks, this time from Lusk. She set the school's all-time record in the 200-yard breast-stroke earlier in the season, but re-broke it with a fourth place finish in the event. Lusk wasn't the only one walking away with an award.
Both Miller and Campbell received meet honors. Miller was presented with Swimmer of the Meet and Campbell was voted Coach of the Meet. The team had a reason to celebrate, as well. With the swims from everyone on the team, Kansas clinched second place.
"I'm happy for our whole team, especially the seniors and returners, because we started the process of setting and achieving this goal a year ago," said Campbell. "It sets the bar higher. We want to keep going the direction we are going. A lot of this is more than just competitive excellence. We wanted to change the culture of the program and we are on the way to doing that. Now we can say we are a top-two team in a major conference."
Next up for the Jayhawks are the NCAA Championships that takes place March 20 through 22 in Minneapolis, Minn.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"What's next? Are they going to eliminate the takeout slide on double plays at second base?" — Pate Rose, former MLB player involved in vicious collision in the 1970 All-Star game — NBCsports.com
FACT OF THE DAY
Major League Baseball intends to ban collisions at plate by 2015.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Who was brutally injured in 2011 after the infamous collision at the plate with Scott Cousins?
THE MORNING BREW
ChicagoTribune.com
MLB thinking of changing rules regarding sliding into home
This past Monday, Major League Baseball instated an experimental rule limiting (but
not banning) home-plate collisions. Umpires have already begun to implement the new rule in this week's spring training contests. Rule 7.13 states "a runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate)," according to MLB.com. In other words, the runner can no longer go out of his way to knock the ball out of the catcher's hand. The rule also states that a catcher cannot block the plate unless he is in possession of the ball.
There is no question that there needs to be some sort of regulation to prevent vicious collisions at the plate. After all, the game is much more of a contact sport than it has been in the
By Tori Rubinstein sports@kansan.com
past. But how can the league go about making these rules so that players can easily adjust? As a kid, every player was taught to get to the plate at all costs and running over the catcher was just part of the mentality. This new rule forces runners to go about tagging the plate in a completely different way and it may take a while for runners and catchers to get used to a new way of thinking.
Even though umpires will have the luxury of instant replay, it is ultimately going to be a judgment call to decide if the player should be ruled out. David Schoenfield said controversial calls will be inevitable due to the large gray area in the rule.
Of course, when you alter America's
pastime, there is going to be some controversy. A.J. Pierzynski, catcher for the Boston Red Sox, said that as a big-league catcher, home-plate collisions are something you sign up for and that it's part of the game.
"Next, they're going to tell us that you can't slide into the guy at second base," Pierzynski said in an interview with Yahoo! Sports.
THE BREW
Baseball is very near and dear to our hearts here in America and limiting the action of one of the most exciting parts of the game might not sit well with everyone. But the truth is, ensuring that players have long and healthy
careers is the most important thing in any sport. There is no reason that anyone's season or even career should be cut short due to injuries that could be avoided. I have no doubt that the league is going about banning home-plate collisions in the right way. Implementing small, experimental hanges over time will
changes over time will give everyone, including players, coaches and fans, time to adjust.

COMMENTARY
Kansas can still get No.1 seed
Moving into a No. 1 seed position in the NCAA
By Matt Corte sports@kansan.com
tournament was tossed away Saturday night, just like so many of the basketballs that found their way into the hands of a Jayhawk.
Kansas committed 22 turnovers against the Cowboys, but remarkably still had a shot at winning after freshman guard Andrew Wiggins' 3-point play tied it with just over two minutes left in the game. The numerous turnovers, however, were too much to overcome.
As the great coach Bobby Knight once said, "Dumb loses more games than smart wins," which was certainly the case as Oklahoma State won 72-65.
Oklahoma State work 1-2 co.
If there's any solace in this loss, it's knowing that the Jayhawks don't have to share the Big 12 title, as both Iowa State and Texas lost on Saturday to lock it in for the Jayhawks. Coach Bill Self felt no empathy for his players as he opted to keep the Big 12 championship gear on the bus, "To me, we missed our opportunity to celebrate," he said.
The Jayhawks may have the opportunity to celebrate a Big 12 title after a win against Texas Tech this Wednesday, but the opportunity to put a lock on a No. 1 seed was all but lost against Oklahoma State.
There's no question that the layhawks can still claim a top seed in the tournament, but they'll have to win the rest of their conference games, plus the Big 12 tournament in order to do so. Losses from other top tier programs, like Syracuse or Arizona, in the next two weeks could also help Kansas earn a top seed.
The importance of receiving a No.1 seed over a No.2 seed may seem petty to some, but when looking at the recent performances of No.2 seed in the NCAA tournament, it's actually pivotal.
In 2004, Connecticut was the last No. 2 seed to win a NCAA title and in the nine tournaments since then, every No. 2 seed to make a championship has lost. In that same span, seven No.1 seeds have won the championship, so grabbing a No.1 seed seems to increase a team's title odds by a large margin.
History tells us that no No. 1 seed has ever lost in the opening round of the tournament, but that three No. 2 seeds have lost their opening game in the last two tournaments alone. The last team to accomplish that feat was Florida Gulf Coast against Georgetown in the 2013 tournament, showing there's some parity in the field of 64 teams and that any team can lose on any given day.
You're probably thinking that these stats are from past years and they don't mean anything to our team this year, but why mess with history?
Like all Jayawk fans, I don't want that day to come for the Jayhawks in the 2014 NCAA tournament. If Kansas players can perform at a high level during the conclusion of this regular season and earn a No. 1 seed over a No. 2 seed, maybe it never will.

STILLWATER, Okla. - Coach Bill Self is waiting for the right moment and even he doesn't know when it'll come.
At any point in the last week he could've allowed his Jayhawks a second to reflect on a season in which a team that returned zero starters from the previous year clinched a 10th straight Big 12 title. Aside from a Jerrison Howard dance, that didn't happen.
Really, it was because Kansas still had plenty of work left. After Monday night the Jayhawks only bought themselves a piece of the conference championship, so Self only partially cherished it.
The real celebration was to take place in Stillwater, after the Jayhawks finished off an Oklahoma State University team picked to share the title with them.
That, of course, couldn't happen. The Cowboys sat in eighth place entering Saturday's matchup with No. 5 Kansas.
The celebration wouldn't happen either, save for a few thousand OSU fans who stormed the court after the Jayhawks fell 72-65.
With Texas and Iowa State both losing earlier in the day, Kansas won the league title outright no matter what happened against the Cowboys.
Still, Self kept the trophy and the fun that goes with it away from the locker room.
The Jayhawks wouldn't don any hats. There would be no t-shirts.
"I told them to put them under the damn bus," Self said. "We missed our opportunity to celebrate."
They didn't so much miss it as they did throw it away.
Kansas turned the ball over 22 times - leading to 21 OSU points - and never seemed in control on offense.
Freshman guard Andrew Wiggins and junior guard Naadir Tharpe combined for more than half of the miscues. Wiggins was able to make up for some of the damage with 15 points. Tharpe struggled to reach six.
Really, that wouldn't have mattered as long as Kansas continued to shut down the Cowboys on defense.
Tharpe's scoreless first half was matched with an equally poor showing from Oklahoma State's sophomore guard Marcus Smart.
Smart resiliently fought his way back into the game in the second half, bullying his way into the paint and finishing with 21 points. Tharpe, who suffered a dislocated thumb, but is not expected to miss any time, couldn't get into any

A complete game shutout by senior pitcher Frank Duncan highlighted the Jayhawks weekend in Grand Prairie, Texas. Duncan tossed nine innings, gave up no runs and struck out ten batters while walking none.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
"I've been filling up the zone, throwing a lot of strikes," Duncan said. "You know, obviously the confidence is picking up. Not just for me, but for the whole team."
This is Duncan's second stellar start and win of the season. Duncan has struck out 27 in his three starts and retired the final 18 batters that he faced on Saturday. Duncan faced only one batter over the minimum in his nine innings of work.
"We feel like we can beat anyone." Duncan said.
Freshman catcher Michael Tinsley led the Jayhawks offense with two RBIs. Junior outfielder Connor McKay and junior infielder Aaron Hernandez stayed hot, each driving in a run as well. Kansas won by a score of 5-0.
"I'm seeing fastballs well," Tinsley said. "Having faced these pitchers in previous attbats, I'm starting to see what's coming."
Kansas went 3-1 against Houston Baptist this weekend, suffering their first loss of the season in the first leg of their doubleheader Saturday. Junior Robert Kahana got the start for Kansas. He battled through seven strong innings, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out five.
Junior pitcher Wes Benjamin got his second win of the season. Benjamin struggled through six, allowing five runs on 11 hits. Sophomore Taylor Rappaport and freshman Stephen Villines were able to stop the bleeding and shutout Houston Baptist the rest of the way.
The lajyhawks couldn't convert in clutch situations. They stranded eight runners on bases and failed to score on a bases loaded opportunity in the fifth inning of the contest. Kansas couldn't fight back and score in the final four innings of the game and fell 4-2.
Junior outfielders Connor Mckay and Michael Suiter kept the Kansas offense afloat, combining for five hits.
Connor McKay and senior outfielder Tucker Tharp both had the long ball working. The two outfielders hit two run home runs in the second and fourth innings.
Kansas had another strong offensive outing on Friday, defeating the Huskies 11-5.
Villines kept his strong to the season alive. Villines has thrown six innings and allowed zero runs. He has walked only two and given up no extra base hits thus far. The side-arming right-hander will prove a strong bridge to senior closer Jordan Piche' going forward.
The Jayhawk's offense was able to tally 14 hits on the day, lead by senior designated hitter Dakota Smith with three. Four other players tallied multiple hit games as well.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend strong on Sunday, defeating the Huskies 14-1 in a rain-shortened seven-inning game. Junior pitcher Drew Morovick got the start and the win for Kansas. Morovick went five strong, allowing no runs, striking out four. Piche' and junior Colin Toalson finished out the day on the hill.
Kansas got on the board ear.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
We have made it almost halfway through our spring semester, but with snow still covering the ground, it is hard to believe it is officially March. It could be worse. In a few short weeks we will be enjoying spring break and celebrating March Madness. Before that though, we must prepare ourselves for midterms and our apartments or homes for the week that we will be spending on a beach somewhere. Use our home safety checklist to make sure that your apartment is safe while you're away and our midterm Spotify playlist to stay focused while memorizing your definitions and finishing your papers.
With spring break on the horizon, you may find yourself cutting back on expenses in order to save for your trip but this is no reason to neglect your apartment. To keep your apartment looking spectacular during this time, check out the few stores that we picked out that offer cheap decor deals. We have also found a few DIY projects that can turn your shabby college apartment into a creative and stylish space.

MARCH MADNESS
Students weigh in on best basketball watch parties
MACKENZIE LEANDER
entertain@kansan.com
Jayhawks, it's that time of year again. Everywhere you look, brackets are filled out, lucky jerseys are unburied and homework assignments are sacrificed. Indeed, March Madness is upon us.
What better way to celebrate our Jayhawks than by watching the games? This doesn't necessarily mean at Allen Fieldhouse; students can support the team by watching elsewhere. This is why it's important to know how to plan a basketball watch party. John Singer, a senior from Wichita, has his basketball watch party all figured out.
"There definitely needs to be a large HD TV and, of course, plenty of [beverages]," Singer said. "If you're hosting a party you should probably invest in a keg or two and make a quick grocery store run to get essential items like burgers, brats, chips and salsa or queso."
Singer is all for the idea of watching the game
at a friend's place or local bar as long as he is surrounded by friends and Jayhawk fans. Laila Tawfik, a senior from Overland Park, thinks that the best watch parties are the biggest.
the ideal watch party would be one surrounded by as many KU fans as possible," Tawfik said. "The bigger, the better. Obviously, Allen Fieldhouse is the most ideal place, but if you can't make it there, or it's an away game, I would save a sports bar and grill."
Tawfik thinks that a sports bar is the best place for students to go for a watch party.

"It's a perfect atmosphere because you've got everything you need: the fans, the food, the drinks and the big screen TVs," Tawfik said. "As far as must-haves for a watch party go, you definitely need to be wearing your lucky KU T-shirt. Preferably, the same shirt that was worn when we won the championship in 2008."
So grab your oversized TVs, beverages, food and friends. It's time to wave the wheat.

Most students agree that for a successful watch party, the bigger the TV, the better.

Senior pitcher Frank Duncan led the Jayhawks' weekend in Grand Prairie, Texas. Duncan tossed more than nine innings, gave up no runs and struck out 10 batters while walking none.

You're probably thinking that these stats are from past years and they don't mean anything to our team this year, but why mess with history?
History tells us that no No. 1 seed has ever lost in the opening round of the tournament, but that three No. 2 seeds have lost their opening game in the last two tournaments alone.
The last team to accomplish that feat was Florida Gulf Coast against Georgetown in the 2013 tournament, showing there's some parity in the field of 64 teams and that any team can lose on any given day.
Like all Jayhawk fans, I don't want that day to come for the Jayhawks in the 2014 NCAA tournament. If Kansas players can perform at a high level during the conclusion of this regular season and earn a No. 1 seed over a No. 2 seed, maybe it never will.

final 18 batters that he faced on Saturday. Duncan faced only one batter over the minimum in his nine innings of work.
"I'm seeing fastballs well," Tinsley said. "Having faced these pitchers in previous at-bats, I'm starting to see what's coming."
Kansas went 3-1 against Houston Baptist this weekend, suffering their first loss of the season in the first leg of their doubleheader Saturday. Junior Robert Kahana got the start for Kansas. He battled through seven strong innings, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out five.
Freshman catcher Michael Tinsley led the Jayhawks offense with two RBIs. Junior outfielder Connor McKay and junior infielder Aaron Hernandez stayed hot, each driving in a run as well. Kansas won by a score of 5-0.
"We feel like we can beat anyone," Duncan said.
Junior outfielders Connor Mckay and Michael Suiter kept the Kansas offense afloat, combining for five hits.
The layhawks couldn't convert in clutch situations. They stranded eight runners on bases and failed to score on a bases loaded opportunity in the fifth inning of the contest. Kansas couldn't fight back and score in the final four innings of the game and fell 4-2.
Kansas had another strong offensive outing on Friday, defeating the Huskies 11-5.
Junior pitcher Wes Benjamin got his second win of the season. Benjamin struggled through six, allowing five runs on 11 hits. Sophomore Taylor Rappaport and freshman Stephen Villines were able to stop the bleeding and shutout Houston Baptist the rest of the way.
Connor McKay and senior outfielder Tucker Tharp both had the long ball working. The two outfielders hit two run home runs in the second and fourth innings.
The Jayhawk's offense was able to tally 14 hits on the day, lead by senior designated hitter Dakota Smith with three. Four other players tallied multiple hit games as well.
Villines kept his strong to the season alive. Villines has thrown six innings and allowed zero runs. He has walked only two and given up no extra base hits thus far. The side-arming right-hander will prove a strong bridge to senior closer Jordan Piche' going forward.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend strong on Sunday, defeating the Huskies 14-1 in a rain-shortened seven-inning game. Junior pitcher Drew Morovick got the start and the win for Kansas. Morovick went five strong, allowing no runs, striking out four. Piche' and junior Colin Toalson finished out the day on the hill.

An unknown culprit vandalized an elevator door in Oliver Hall last week. Student Housing estimates the damages between $2,400 and $8,000.
10. 20, one of the elevator doors on the seventh floor was dislodged from its hinges and shoved into the elevator shaft while the elevator was coming up from the sixth floor. The elevator is one of only two in Oliver and is expected to be out of service for weeks.
"Our elevator service person indicates that the door must have been kicked very hard by one or several people to have caused that much damage," said Diana Robertson, director of KU Student Housing.

KU Public Safety Officers and Student Housing are investigating the incident, but have not found an offender yet. If the offender is found, Student Housing will press
Damages are estimated to cost between $2,400 and $8,000 according to Student Housing.
"They gave us an ultimatum — either someone come forward with who caused the damage, or every person who lives on the floor will have to pay $125 or more to cover the damages."
The seventh floor residents had a mandatory meeting regarding the incident last week.
"They told us that if we didn't attend the meeting without an exceptional excuse that we would be put through the conduct system," said Alise Rhines, a freshman from Shawnee. "They gave us an ultimatum — either someone come forward with who caused the damage, or every person who lives on the floor will have to pay $125 or more
enth floor residents for how the situation was handled.
"We are all being blamed for something none of us have any knowledge of," Rhines said. "I felt like I was being treated like a child."
Student Housing declined to comment on the investigative process.
Vandalism cases are considered criminal charges, which can include criminal fines and restitution to the property owners.

Keary said that once the Public Safety Office finds out who damaged the property, they will be cited and brought to the detention facility. The officers will then investigate the crime and provide the information to the court.
Student Housing and campus officials say that this was intentional damage.
"The elevator door was forcibly kicked or pulled in like that, it didn't just happen," Robertson said. "It's a very selfish act. You have 630 people being inconvenienced by the actions of one or some. It's very unfortunate, and it's very expensive."

The best places to shop for home décor
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER

Whether you are moving into a new place next semester or just looking to spruce up your current living space, channel your inner GTV star and redecorate. But keep in mind, you don't have to pay top dollar to personalize your Lawrence home.
Stores such as World Market, Bed Bath and Beyond and Target are great places to look for inexpensive and stylish additions to your living space. Ranging from frames and curtains to vases, lamps and other pieces, these stores are a great place to get started with the decorating basics. With various pieces usually priced between 15 and 30 dollars, you can personalize your home and still manage to stay within a reasonable, college student budget. Try to look for staple items that can be worked into a variety of color schemes so that you don't have to repurchase in the future.
Hannah Boyd, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., also recommends checking out Marshall's and T.J. Maxx.
"They usually have a lot of really cute designer products for discounted prices," Boyd said. "They always have Cynthia Rowley home décor and it's cute and good quality."
Sites, such as Pinterest, can also be a great
source of inspiration when it comes to repurposing items or redecorating. The site reveals all kinds of tips and ideas for refurbishing. From using doors as headboards to ladders as shelving, there are all kinds of tricks for turning everyday items into functional decorations.
Lawrence is also home to a variety of local thrift shops and consignment stores, which can be great sources for unique pieces that will definitely add character to your living space. Make sure to keep checking back if you don't find anything that catches your eye. Thrift stores are constantly acquiring new merchandise, so don't get discouraged.
Abbie Wenger, a sophomore from Wichita, shops at thrift stores to find unique pieces for decorating.
"I'd say my style is more shabby chic, so thrift stores are a great place to find really cool and different things to decorate with," Wenger said. "I was looking for something to spruce up my coffee table with, and was able to find a bunch of unique, vintage-looking books to add to my set up."
So whether it's your bedroom, kitchen or living room, taking the time to personalize your living space and making it your own can make your stay in Lawrence even more memorable.

___ Ask a neighbor or friend to pick up any mail or packages that will come while you are away.
___ Shut off all lights. Leaving your outdoor light on an automatic timer is a good alternative to make it seem like somebody is home.
___ Unplug all electronics — this includes televisions, microwaves and beauty appliances.
___ Lock all doors and windows.
___ Do not publicize that you will be away on social media.
___ Store jewelry and all other valuables in a safe hiding place.
___ Remove the hidden key. This may help your roommates if they forget a key during the week, but it is too risky for a criminal to find during a week when nobody is home.
___ Leave your curtains the same way you keep them when you're home. Noticeable changes can alert criminals nobody is home.
Consider investing in an alarm system. If this is too pricey trick criminals by placing one of those home alarm signs on your lawn.
___ Notify your landlord you will be away. A lot of time the landlord will occasionally drive by and keep an eye on his or her property.

An unknown culprit vandalized an elevator door in Oliver Hall last week. Student Housing estimates the damages between $2,400 and $8,000.
16. 20, 20, one of the elevator doors on the seventh floor was dislodged from its hinges and shoved into the elevator shaft while the elevator was coming up from the sixth floor. The elevator is one of only two in Oliver and is expected to be out of service for weeks.
"Our elevator service person indicates that the door must have been kicked very hard by one or several people to have caused that much damage," said Diana Robertson, director of KU Student Housing.
Damages are estimated to cost between $2,400 and $8,000 according to Student Housing.

Thrifty decorating on a college budget
MACKENZIE LEANDER
entertain@kansan.com
College may expand future opportunities, but it also has a way of limiting time and money, especially when it comes to decorating living spaces.
Furnishing apartments and new homes with the hottest items from Pier 1 and Pottery Barn seems just a bit out of reach. However, there is no reason to fret. Students have demonstrated that decorating can be done affordably and effectively using a little creativity.
Jessica Tungesvik, a junior from Columbia, Mo., is a graphic design major with little time for Pinterest projects. Instead, she took her vinyl records and displayed them as decorations.
"The graphics on the records are decorative in themselves so I decided I wanted to display them." Tungesvik said. "I ended up making two
display shelves that are about 5-feet long for 10 of my records to sit on."
Tungesvik bought the supplies at the Common Shop on campus and was able to make the two shelves in 45 minutes. In the end it only cost her $6 for the wood. For those with a little more time on their hands, planning affordable projects can be fun. Tessa Littlejohn, a sophomore from Wichita, was inspired by Pinterest to create wall decorations from shoebox lids.
Littlejohn was able to take things she already has in her apartment and turn them into decorations she gets to appreciate every day. Students who don't already have these items can use their talents or passions to make something unique
"I saw on Pinterest how to take old shoebox lids and cover them with fabric for wall decorations," Littlejohn said. "I had plenty of old fabric and lids so I gave it a shot and it turned out way cutter than I expected."
instead. Ian Lally, a senior from Olathe, has been an artist all his life. Not only is he able to channel those skills when decorating his home, but it's an enjoyable project rather than a challenging task.
"I paint and that is my preferred type of decoration," Lally said. "Depending on the size, a painting can take anywhere from a few hours to days or weeks."
There is no need to spend half of your paychecks on furnishings that you can easily create yourself. You'd be surprised by how many decorative options you already have around the house. Just take a look around and become inspired.

You're probably thinking that these stats are from past years and they don't mean anything to our team this year, but why mess with history?
Senior pitcher Frank Duncan led the Jayhawks' weekend in Grand Prairie, Texas. Duncan tossed more than nine innings, gave up no runs and struck out 10 batters while walking none.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
History tells us that no No.1 seed has ever lost in the opening round of the tournament, but that three No.2 seeds have lost their opening game in the last two tournaments alone. The last team to accomplish that feat was Florida Gulf Coast against Georgetown in the 2013 tournament, showing there's some parity in the field of 64 teams and that any team can lose on any given day.
Like all Jayhawk fans, I don't want that day to come for the Jayhawks in the 2014 NCAA tournament. If Kansas players can perform at a high level during the conclusion of this regular season and earn a No.1 seed over a No.2 seed, maybe it never will.

final 18 batters that he faced on Saturday. Duncan faced only one batter over the minimum in his nine innings of work.
Freshman catcher Michael Tinsley led the Jayhawks offense with two RBIs. Junior outfielder Connor McKay and junior infielder Aaron Hernandez stayed hot, each driving in a run as well. Kansas won by a score of 5-0.
"I'm seeing fastballs well," Tinsley said. "Having faced these pitchers in previous atbats, I'm starting to see what's coming."
"We feel like we can beat anyone," Duncan said.
Kansas went 3-1 against Houston Baptist this weekend, suffering their first loss of the season in the first leg of their doubleheader Saturday. Junior Robert Kahana got the start for Kansas. He battled through seven strong innings, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out five.
Junior pitcher Wes Benjamin got his second win of the season. Benjamin struggled through six, allowing five runs on 11 hits. Sophomore Taylor Rappaport and freshman Stephen Villines were able to stop the bleeding and shutout Houston Baptist the rest of the way.
Connor McKay and senior outfielder Tucker Tharp both had the long ball working. The two outfielders hit two run home runs in the second and fourth innings.
Junior outfielders Connor Mckay and Michael Suiter kept the Kansas offense afloat, combining five hits.
The lajhawks couldn't convert in clutch situations. They stranded eight runners on bases and failed to score on a bases loaded opportunity in the fifth inning of the contest. Kansas couldn't fight back and score in the final four innings of the game and fell 4-2.
The Jayhawk's offense was able to tally 14 hits on the day, lead by senior designated hitter Dakota Smith with three. Four other players tallied multiple hit games as well.
Kansas had another strong offensive outing on Friday, defeating the Huskies 11-5.
Villines kept his strong to the season alive. Villinas has thrown six innings and allowed zero runs. He has walked only two and given up no extra base hits thus far. The side-arming right-hander will prove a strong bridge to senior closer Jordan Piche' going forward.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend strong on Sunday, defeating the Huskies 14-1 in a rain-shortened seven-inning game. Junior pitcher Drew Morovick got the start and the win for Kansas. Morovick went five strong, allowing no runs, striking out four. Piche' and junior Colin Toalson finished out the day on the hill.

ROOMMATES
Living with the opposite sex has pros and cons
HALLIE HOLTON
entertain@kansan.com
The idea of living with the opposite sex is not always something we would immediately volunteer to do. Having co-ed roommates is not a common occurrence, but how does it work? Taking the risk and living with someone of the opposite sex could make or break a relationship it seems.
Audra Odeh, a senior from Olathe, decided to give the co-ed roommate concept a try.
"I had lived with girls in the past and I love my girlfriends, but there was always unnecessary drama, or some of kind problem or issue," Odeh said. "I wasn't into it."
"I think guys are significantly less dramatic and controlling." Odeh said of her co-ed living situation. "It was very much a relaxed and stress-free environment. I learned a lot of different things."
Odeh decided to live with three guys she knew from high school in a house on Kentucky Street.
But Odeh wasn't the only one learning new things. Her roommates Kyle Dewitz and Marlon Addison, both seniors from Olathe, mentioned that they learned a lot about the female perspective from living with her.
"She would give me advice on a Friday night if I was dressed like a homeless man and she gave me dating advice if I was being a loser. It was great always having a female perspective
around," Dewitz said.
But there has to be downsides, right? Not everything can be perfect when your living situation is the battle of the sexes.
Dewitz reminisces on the difficulties of sharing a bathroom with Odeh during the time they lived together. He said that he felt uncomfortable using the bathroom knowing that he shared it with a woman.
"I feel like after living together, Audra is family. It's like having another sister," Dewitz said.
After living together for a year, most would wonder if this living situation had any effects on their friendship.
Addison and Odeh both agreed with Kyle that the three of them living together definitely
brought them closer as friends.
These three no longer live together, but they all would recommend living with co-ed roommates and said they would in the future if they were given the opportunity.
"It can be a lot of fun and a co-ed roommate can teach you a lot." Dewitz said.
And if you're having a hard time getting along with your current co-ed roommates, these three say that communication is key.
Addison said that whatever the issue is, try to talk to them because most problems stem from miscommunication.

STUDYING

Create your own perfect study spot at home
Apartment can be quieter, more comfortable and easier to access than the library. One way to create a study space is to give yourself adequate lighting.
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
ANISSA FRITZ
entertain@kansan.com
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of the University libraries and study rooms, many students have turned to their apartment desks for productive studying time. This way, they avoid noise and distractions and can avoid the trek to the library, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Rachel Rauch, a senior from Fort Worth, Texas, said that she prefers her make-shift desk, which is actually a TV tray and a chair, compared to the libraries on campus.
CHECK OUT KANSAN.COM FOR MORE CONTENT
"I just like to be alone," Rauch said. "I can have noise distraction, but not movement distraction. If I see someone walking I'm just like, 'Where are you going?'
Many University students have found that their apartments or dorms are a much quieter, more comfortable and easier to access a place than the library. Here are a few tips on how to make your home the best place to study:
1. Pick a secluded spot, a spot with minimum distractions.
Finding a seat, setting up, chatting with people you know and then finally focusing on your textbook can be a long and time-consuming process that many students find a hassle.
2. Make the space your own. Decorate it with things that you like to make your space one that you want to be in. Many students do this with pictures of friends or family back home. But, remember step one. You want it to feel homey and comfortable, but too many decorations can be distracting.
3. Give yourself adequate lighting.Make sure you can see what you're doing.
4. Lastly, give yourself a comfortable chair to sit in. You're going to be sitting there for a while, so it might as well be comfortable.
Cramped libraries and bad weather shouldn't stop students from studying to achieve academic success. Instead, revamp your at-home desk into a great study space to help you achieve great grades.

Freshman catcher Michael Tinsley led the Jayhawks offense with two RBIs. Junior outfielder Connor McKay and junior infielder Aaron Hernandez stayed hot, each driving in a run as well. Kansas won by a score of 5-0
Junior pitcher Wes Benjamin got his second win of the season. Benjamin struggled through six, allowing five runs on 11 hits. Sophomore Taylor Rappaport and freshman Stephen Villines were able to stop the bleeding and shutout Houston Baptist the rest of the way.
Connor Mckay and senior outfielder Tucker Tharp both had the long ball working. The two outfielders hit two run home runs in the second and fourth innings.
Junior outfielders Connor Mckay and Michael Suiter kept the Kansas offense afloat, combining five hits.

Kansas had another strong offensive outing on Friday, defeating the Huskies 11-5.
The Jayhawk's offense was able to tally 14 hits on the day, lead by senior designated hitter Dakota Smith with three. Four other players tallied multiple hit games as well.
Villines kept his strong to the season alive. Villins has thrown six innings and allowed zero runs. He has walked only two and given up no extra base hits thus far. The side-arming right-hander will prove a strong bridge to senior closer Jordan Piche' going forward.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend strong on Sunday, defeating the Huskies 14-1 in a rain-shortened seven-inning game. Junior pitcher Drew Morovick got the start and the win for Kansas. Morovick went five strong, allowing no runs, striking out four. Piche' and junior Colin Toalson finished out the day on the hill.

The seventh floor residents had a mandatory meeting regarding the incident last week.

Senior pitcher Frank Duncan led the Jayhawks' weekend in Grand Prairie, Texas. Duncan tossed more than nine innings, gave up no runs and struck out 10 batters while walking none.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
You're probably thinking that these stats are from past years and they don't mean anything to our team this year, but why mess with history?
History tells us that no No. 1 seed has ever lost in the opening round of the tournament, but that three No. 2 seeds have lost their opening game in the last two tournaments alone. The last team to accomplish that feat was Florida Gulf Coast against Georgetown in the 2013 tournament, showing there's some parity in the field of 64 teams and that any team can lose on any given day.
Like all Jayhawk fans, I don't want that day to come for the Jayhawks in the 2014 NCAA tournament. If Kansas players can perform at a high level during the conclusion of this regular season and earn a No.1 seed over a No.2 seed, maybe it never will.

STUDENT SENATE
GrowKU, Jayhawkers establish platforms; third coalition enters race
COALITIONS COMMENCE
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
Platforms for GrowKU and Jayhawkers are established, but both coalitions continue to seek input from students to steady their foundations.
GrowKU
news@kansan.com
1. Consistent grading scales were introduced to standardize the plus-minus system within professional schools or departments. Campaign Manager Alex Montgomery said standardized systems will ensure students have an equal opportunity to compete in the classroom.
2. Student Political Action Committee, a student lobbying body, would advocate for higher education in front of legislators in Topeka. Vice president nominee, Miranda Wagner, said student protesting is embedded in the University history and this model would allow students passionate about advocacy to step up.
3. Student Political Organization Collaboration would enable representatives from more than 600 groups to gather and discuss in a roundtable setting. President nominee Morgan Said said
this initiative would reinforce community, inclusiveness, and diversity among students involved in different organizations.
4. Single-stream recycling would improve on-campus sustainability by collecting different recyclables in one bin. Right now, there are no bins for plastic and Wagner said it often ends up in the trash instead.
6. Safety across campus would be improved with additional lighting and updated emergency poles for a more secure and peaceful environment.
5. Bike-sharing program is an initiative modeled after TCU to install stations across campus and the city where students can rent bicycles. Montgomery said the goal is to foster a greener and more inclusive community without a large student investment.
7. A mental wellness initiative was implemented to maintain a positive opinion about community wellness by providing counseling services and payment alternatives. Wagner said two-thirds of students who need mental health services don't receive them.
8. A non-traditional
student resource center would provide resources for the non-traditional students who comprise 25 percent of the student body. The center would include lockers for commuters and resources for students with children in a centralized location.
1. Student Transition and Academic Readiness program was introduced to acquaint multicultural students and students of lower socioeconomic background with college life. Instruction on how to fill out FAFSA, tips to navigate the KU website and a creation of community are included. Mitchell Cota, vice presidential nominee for the Jayhawkers coalition, said after three months of research he found that the University has the lowest retention rate for students of color out of all the Big 12 schools.
Jayhawkers
2. A hazing task force made up of Greek and non-Greek students would codify a campus-wide definition of hazing to standardize the consequences in Greek housing, scholarship halls and other residences.
3. A partnership with Replant Mount Oread was
6. The expansion of undergraduate research would give opportunity and access to freshman and sophomores. Cota said it will be helpful for students looking to orient to a major.
5. The addition of other intercession classes would allow students the opportunity to learn over winter and summer break and graduate in four years. Oatman said it would retrieve the headache caused from transferring credits and having to retake a required class.

introduced to conserve the beauty of campus by replanting trees. President nominee MacKenzie Oatman said students could come back and see the trees they planted and the legacy left behind in the landscape.
4. Dining hall experience would be improved with extended hours and the addition of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Cota said there is an increase in food allergies and this initiative would address that need.
Free State enters Senate race
On Monday night a new coalition was formed and ready to enter the Student Senate race. Free State, the third coalition to form in this spring's Student Senate race, Mitch Rucker, a junior from Bundtet, submitted the petition to form a coalition and was voted the group's liaison to the Elections Commission. During the meeting, Rucker noted his dissatisfaction with the two coalitions that have already formed, GrowKU and Jayhawkers.
"I've been a bit disappointed with the direction that senate has taken," Rucker said. "I think we've really undenuditized the resources and the potential we have to have an impact for our students and beyond that. Neither of the other coalitions that I saw formed really have that kind of focus in mind, have that determination to reach that full potential, so we decided to make a third one that would."
The group of six students discussed potential platforms, decided on the name, mission statement and voted on an elections commission liaison. Approximately only half of the group has ever been a student senator before.
Free State members brought up a lot of issues and concerns with the university and the formation meeting was a brain-storming session for potential platforms.
The condition discussed topics including accessibility to student senate for non-seniors, health issues for students, holding organizations that receive Student Senate funding accountable and reaching beyond the "lawrence bubble" of Northeast Kansas and reaching out to the rest of the state.
Free State's presidential and vice presidential caucus will be held Saturday 10:30 a.m. in the Union, pending the Elections Commission approval.

A recent incident in Oliver Hall has caused Student Housing and the KU Office of Public Safety to take a closer look at vandalism in the residence halls.
"Our elevator service person indicates that the door must have been kicked very hard by one or several people to have caused that much damage," said Diana Robertson, director of KU Student Housing.
On Wednesday morning, Feb. 26, one of the elevator doors on the seventh floor was dislodged from its hinges and shoved into the elevator shaft while the elevator was coming up from the sixth floor. The elevator is one of only two in Oliver and is expected to be out of service for weeks.
Damages are estimated to cost between $2,400 and $8,000 according to Student Housing.

Rock Chalk Park earns Class I grade
MIRANDA DAVIS news@kansan.com
The surface at Rock Chalk Park, installed by Beynon
Rock Chalk Park, the new track and field facility that KU Athletics is building in west Lawrence, will soon be recognized as a truly exceptional sporting venue. It will become the fifth Class I certified track in the United States and 105th in the world.
The certification comes from the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAFF); only Oregon, Auburn and Arkansas Universities also have Class I certification.
"It's a place that our athletes can call our own," track and field coach Stanley Redwine said.
Redwine said the park would be the location for all track and field team activities, practices and competitions. Redwine also insisted that the move was necessary, due to the outdated nature of the 440 yard track at Memorial Stadium.
"Times have changed and we have to move on from Memorial Stadium," Redwine said.
"Our goal was to build one of the three or four highest-end competitive tracks in the nation: a world-class track that would allow KU to host not just state and regional competitions, but national competitions." Zenger said. "This certification proves that we have accomplished our goals and now have a national championship team competing in a world-class facility."
University of Kansas athletics director, Sheahon Zenger, said in a press release that the University would be able to host national competitions by having a world-class track.
Sports Surfaces, underwent in-situ testing for the certification process. The average depth of the running surface for IAAF Class I certification is 12 mm, while the depth for Rock Chalk Park ranges from 16mm to 19mm.
The new track is already showing its benefits: according to KU athletics, Kansas was selected to host its first NCAA West Preliminary regional meet May 26-28, 2016, which will feature the top-48 student athletes in each event west of the Mississippi River.
The park, located on the farthest west edge of Lawrence, is nowhere near the main campus, but that shouldn't be a deterrent to the team.
The park is not complete yet; the first event set to be hosted there will be this year's Kansas Relays on April 16-19, but the team is ready to start practicing at the park as soon as it's finished.
"I don't think they will have to make many adjustments," Redwine said. "We go to Rim Rock for practice and competition. It's just a difference in meeting a little earlier and driving."
"It'll be really nice to have an outdoor facility to run at and watch the track team compete," Kane said. "I'm a little sad to see the track in Memorial Stadium go by the wayside, because I think it's historic and cool, but Rock Chalk Park should be a nice addition for everyone."
"We're excited to get on it as soon as we can," Redwine said.

The cross slope of the main oval had to be less than 1 percent
- The downward slope of the straightaway for running events had to be less than 0.1 percent
- The lengths of the 100m, 110m and 200m events had to be within 0.010m of the proposed distance.
- The lengths of the 400m had to be within 0.030m of the proposed distance.

University, county talk alternative energy potential
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
As of the 2013-14 academic year, students are paying a $1 sustainability fee to the University with their enrollment. The fee is not included during the University's summer session.
jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said that the access to renewable energy on campus is important to the development of research on campus.
"We are proposing an additional raise to that fee, because I think there is student support and interest in having more things on campus," Severin said. "I mean, that was the original intention of that fee, that we could invest in solar and potentially wind energy."
Besides pursuing and researching alternative energy, the University has been trying to stress the importance of energy conservation, and to reduce the waste of utilities, bringing energy consumption down.
"If we're doing solar research to try to sort of advance that in other places, demonstrating that we are using it here is pretty valuable," Severin said. "To some degree, I feel we, as an institute of higher learning,
have the responsibility to sort of advance more sustainable practices and be a leader in that way."
in Lawrence, the University plays a role in researching renewable energy. Wai-Lun Chan, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, received a sum of $550,879 over five years to research low-cost, renewable energy and to also educate others about the use of renewables.
George Werth, a campus energy engineer at the Center for Sustainability, said that the solar production on campus is low, and that the campus only generates about 6 kilowatts of solar energy out of the approximate peak load of 20,000 kilowatts being provided by other sources on campus and by Westar Energy.
The use of alternative, renewable energy resources in eastern Kansas has been a topic of discussion in Douglas County in recent months. Talk has centered on building a potential wind farm in southwest Douglas County and grants being provided to University faculty for research. Both solar and wind energy have benefits and costs associated with them that Kansans have evaluated in recent years.
A moratorium was recently passed regarding the development of a wind farm in the southwest area of Douglas County to evaluate a potential wind farm's efficacy in the area. Evaluators are measuring wind speeds using anemometers to determine the consistency and strength of wind. Rep. Tom Moxley, R-Council Grove, said placing a wind farm in eastern Kansas is not as cost-efficient as in western Kansas.
"The physics of a wind-farm speak to its efficiency." Moxley said. "A marginal rise in the wind speed makes a terrific difference in a wind generator's ability to create electricity. So with today's cost structure, wind generators in eastern Kansas are just not very efficient."
Transmitting the wind energy from western Kansas across the state to eastern Kansas raises concerns regarding cost.
"The wind may not be as strong here as it is in western Kansas, but the cost of transmission of the power that comes from that equipment also carries a cost," said Craig Weinaug, the Douglas County administrator. "Being closer to wind power as needed lowers the cost of transmitting that power to another location."

A moratorium was recently passed regarding the developent of a wind farm in the southwest area of Douglas County to evaluate a potential wind farm's efficacy in the area. The use of alternative, renewable energy resources in eastern Kansas has been a topic of discussion in Douglas County in recent months.
Placement of the wind farms in Douglas County has caused some citizens close to the areas to voice their opposition to the county commissioners regarding development, Weinaug said.

Military school lawsuit settled on eve of trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — On the eve of a federal trial, a Kansas military school's attorney said Monday that issues have been resolved regarding a lawsuit filed by 11 former cadets who claimed the school's practice of giving higher-ranking cadets the power to discipline younger ones encourages physical and mental abuse. No details were immedi-
No details were immediately released.
"The issues in the case have been resolved and the case is being dismissed," John Schultz, attorney for St. John's Military School in Salina, wrote in an email.
The court confirmed that the trial scheduled to begin Tuesday before U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum in Kansas City, Kan., had been cancelled. The attorney representing the students did not return messages for comment.
The former cadets — who hail from California, Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, Texas and Illinois — filed a lawsuit in 2012 alleging that higher-ranking students, called "Disciplinarians," abused younger students, even in the presence of faculty members. The plaintiffs claim negligent failure to supervise, intentional failure to supervise, as well as both negligent and intentional emotional distress.
The 126-year-old Episcopalian boarding school in the
central Kansas town of Salina has long denied a culture of abuse exists.
A trial would have provided a rare public airing of recurring abuse allegations against the private, quasi-military program.
Plaintiffs have long contended that at least nine other abuse-related lawsuits have been filed against the school since 2006, but an Associated Press examination of federal and state court filings found at least 14 lawsuits filed since 2003 by cadets and their families. All were settled without trial.
St. John's Military School
St. John's has noted that each student is required to sign an anti-hazing pledge and has cited its efforts to curb abuses by installing surveillance cameras and conducting regular bruise checks of students.
Other alleged incidents were: a Tennessee student claiming his stomach was forcibly branded as a rite of initiation; a Texas boy who says he was urinated on in the shower; and an Illinois boy who says he suffered a fractured eye socket after being kneed in the head by a higher-ranking cadet.
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Among the plaintiffs was a boy from Auburn, Calif., who says he was tormented by adults and students after suffering two broken legs in separate incidents during the four days he attended the school in August 2012.

An attorney for a Kansas military school says the issues brought in a lawsuit in which 11 former students alleged abuse have been resolved. St. John's Military School attorney John Schultz said in an email Monday, March 2, 2014, that federal case is being dismissed. The court confirmed that the trial scheduled to begin Tuesday in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., has been cancelled.

You know it's cold when ice forms on your side of the window.
As a TA, I like the feeling of stepping away from my woes and warrys and invest my time towards my students.
People keep smiling at me as I walked past. At first I was flattered but then I realized it was probably my hat.
Okay, Jack Frost, we love you and all but please go on vacation or something.

Students should speak up to make a difference
When I was in grade school, I learned one of the most important lessons that I still use today. I was an energetic child running around and showing off my new sneakers. A boy stopped me and asked, "What does the N stand for?"
My eyes glanced down at the purple, capital N that shone from the side of my sneakers.
"New Balance," I said.
"Are you sure?" The boy asked, making a face. I was too little to understand what he meant but I knew that it held
significance. Instinctively, I turned and ran, willing my new sneakers to make me run faster away from the boy's snickers.
At home, my mother explained the N-word. I didn't understand. I was just excited to wear my new sneakers. Before the end of the week, I traded in my New Balances for Nikes.

I could be bitter about my experiences but instead I use them to help make a difference. Instead of letting the names and hate destroy me, I have turned them into my motivation.
Because of my past
experiences, Martin Luther King Jr. is my inspiration. I am not just interested in him because he was an African-American; it was his message that touched my heart. King's message is that all people must work together. His message rings loud and clear if you stop and listen to it. It doesn't just apply to blacks
and whites; it is for all ethnic groups. No one should be treated differently.
It was King who said,
"Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do
that. Hate cannot drive out
dance; only love can do that."
It will take everyone to make this happen. It will not work if one group reaches out while the other pulls away. There has to be a median where both sides meet. Yes, this will take years of hard work, but it is not unattainable.
Use your experiences to help others become more aware. The most important
thing to do is to speak up. This can be done through poetry, songs, any form of creativity that you can come up with. You could also join or form a campus club, where members their share thoughts and experiences.
As King said in his "I Have a Dream" speech, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Smart gun won't solve gun violence
The country's first smart gun has been released in California by a German gun-manufacturing company called Armatix. The Armatix iP1 is a pistol that fires .22 caliber rounds and only fires in conjunction with a special watch worn by the user. Both the gun and watch are embedded with an electronic chip that signals a green light to the grip when the watch is being worn. If it's not worn, or not in a close proximity to the gun, the light turns red and cannot be used. The idea for the smart gun is to exhibit gun safety -to prevent the iP1 gun from getting into the wrong hands, and to reduce incidents of gun violence, suicides, and accidental shootings.
By Cecilia Cho
opinion@kansan.com
Gun violence is a worldwide problem, but according to ABC News, the United States has more guns and gun death than any other developed country in the world. In 2011, The Bureau of Justice Statistics stated that a total of 478,000 fatal and nonfatal violent crimes were committed with a firearm in the United States. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reported that in 2010, the most common method of suicide was with a firearm,totaling 19,392 deaths.
It is clear that gun violence is an issue, but is the Armatix iP1 worth all
the trouble? First off, the watch that works with the iP1 is not included in the initial purchase. Buyers would have to buy the gun, which costs $1399, then buy the watch separately, which is a whopping $399. That's $1800 for a gun that may or may not be the smartest purchase. If the iP1's watch breaks or you lose it, you will need to shell out another $399 to replace it. People may not be swayed to spend that much money for this gun, when they can buy multiple guns totaling the same price as the iP1.
Gun manufacturers are thinking of new ways to revolutionize firearms, meaning the iP1 is only the beginning. According to slashgear.com, a company called TriggerSmart is "working on a smart gun system that uses a fingerprint scanner on the grip." RT.com reports that a Silicon Valley investor named Ron Conway is teaming up with relatives of the Sandy Hook victims to award a $1 million prize for whoever comes up with a "ground-breaking smart gun technology." Smart guns seem to be the guns of the future. Hopefully a cheaper, more ideal
alternative to the iPI will be developed to reduce gun violence.
For self-defense, the iP1 may not be the greatest solution. Take for instance: you're sleeping and someone breaks into your home. They come into your room, the iP1 is next to you, but your watch is somewhere else. An armed robber is not going to wait for you to put on your watch before they attack, making the iP1 a poor gun choice for self-defense.
The iP1 is an interesting idea, but the reality is, this is a novelty item. The iP1 will be effective in reducing accidental deaths with firearms, but most people will want to purchase it because it is cool and new. Despite how interesting it sounds, the iP1 will not have any effect on transitioning sales of regular firearms to strictly Armatix's smart gun. People will buy other guns because they are cheaper and less of a hassle. Armatix's goal is to reduce the number of accidental shootings, suicides, and gun violence with their smart gun, but guns in general are supposed to be a means of self-defense. People will be more convinced to stick to what they are used to, and what is more convenient.

FFA OF THE DAY Do you think rocks are really soft but just tense up when you touch them?
America needs a female president
Conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly recently
vocalized his doubt that a woman would be able to serve as the President of the United States. In a sexist segment of his show last Wednesday, Feb. 26, O'Reilly made broad generalizations, stating that women wouldn't be able to deal with "tough" people like Vladimir Putin or Islamic politicians. O'Reilly's comments are outdated. Today, according to U.S. News and World Report, polls indicate that 86 percent of citizens think that the United States is ready for a female president. It is clear that voters are prepared to embrace such a change, and there are certainly many women qualified to assume the office.
O'Reilly seemed convinced that few women have successfully served as strong leaders in the past. He questioned whether a female could stand up to tough political adversaries, apparently overlooking the fact that Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton have already done this when they served as Secretary of State. O'Reilly also glossed over the history of women successfully leading countries, such as the Philippines' Corazon Aquino, India's Indira Gandhi, Germany's Angela Merkel.
The United States has a relatively low proportion of women serving in government compared to other countries. According to the Inter- Parliamentary Union, the United States ranks 80th in the percentage of women in legislature, right between Albania and Madagascar. This is disheartening; it's time the percentage of women in politics reflects the percentage of the population that is female.

and Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto. In addition, O'Reilly seemed concerned that a female president would be too hesitant to use military force, though leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir have not hesitated to utilize their nations' armies in the past.
Figureheads such as O'Reilly are impeding political change that would benefit the United States. In his segment, O'Reilly expressed his disapproval of Hillary Clinton, a potential presidential candidate. His criticism is unfounded. Clinton has served as a United States senator for eight years and as Secretary of State for four years. She has accrued experience that many previous presidents haven't come close to approaching before their time in office. It seems that O'Reilly's primary problem with Clinton is her gender, not her qualifications or ability to make decisions.
Most people in the United States do not think like O'Reilly on this issue. It's encouraging that the majority of American voters no longer view gender as a qualification to become president. It seems clear, with strong candidates like Hillary Clinton, that the United States will soon join the ranks of countries whose highest office has been held by a woman.

Study ranks Kansas 20th in well-being

STATE
Allison Rolig, a senior from Shawnee, says Kansas has been a great place to grow up and she would be happy sticking around.
According to a new report, the majority of the top 10 worst states to live are in or around the Midwest. Kansas wasn't one of them.
"I love Kansas because I grew up loving the Jayhawks and loving the area," Rolig said. "There is just enough city without it being overwhelming. I grew up in the suburbs and have always wanted to go to KU"
The report, based on the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, measured the physical and emotional health of 176,000 people throughout the country. The index reflects the sense of purpose in life held by people in a state, along with their social, financial, community and physical aspects of well-being. Well-being scores are calculated on a scale from 0 to 100. Kansas is ranked 20th with a score of 66.9. Kansas was ranked 17th in 2012.
Rolig isn't sure how long she will be in Kansas after graduation, but she isn't opposed to staying here. She said she

Some out-of-state students were unaware of Kansas' culture before moving here. They were pleasantly surprised when they arrived because they found Kansas is different than the way they thought of it growing up. Many students pictured it the way it is portrayed in "The Wizard of Oz." This was the case for Jacob Appelbaum, a senior from Park Forest, ill., who found the people and environment of Kansas
given its positive environment and opportunities offered, which makes it challenging for her to leave.

Appelbaum said he values what Kansas has to offer, but it's not only the balance of city and rural area that makes it special. Kansas is known throughout the nation as the heartland because it's in the middle, or heart, of the country. Michaela Baeuchle, a sophomore from Leavenworth, considers Kansas' location one of the many things that makes it a great place to live.
"There is something special about Kansas' Midwestern hospitality," Baeuchle said. "But also, because

AWARDS
Actress inspires Africa
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAIROBI, Kenya — "You are the pride of Africa," Kenya's president exclaimed on Twitter as he celebrated Kenya's first major Oscar win by actress Lupita Nyong'o.
Nyong o was the topic of the day on Kenya's radio and TV stations Monday, the day after her Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress in the movie "12 Years A Slave."
At a conference at the United Nations headquarters in Nairobi, more than 300 people broke out into applause after Wanjira Maathai — the daughter of the late Kenyan Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai — mentioned her mother and Nyong'o in the same sentence.
"We all had hoped of course that she would win. Everybody feels a sudden attachment to her, she's a Kenyan woman," Maathai said in an interview later. "A lot of her work, a lot of her experience in film started in Kenya."
At the end of her Oscar speech, Nyong'o asked that her win remind "every little child that no matter where you're from your dreams are valid."
Nyong'o, 31, was born in Mexico to Kenyan parents but was mostly raised in Kenya. A graduate of the Yale School of Drama, Nyong'o had starred in several productions in Kenya before landing her breakout role alongside Brad Pitt.
Nyongo had been considered a front-runner in a category that included Jennifer Lawrence and Julia Roberts. When her name was called Sunday, she bent over in her seat as the audience erupted.
Just before her win, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta issued a statement saying Nyongo's accomplishments testify to her talent and the determination to go the extra mile that success demands.

Conference teams have lots left to play for
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The only certainties about the Big 12 are that Kansas will finish in first place and TCU will be last.
For everyone else, the final week of the regular season represents a chance to either improve their postseason positioning or win over the NCAA tournament selection committee.
communica
Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas State were tied for second place at 10-6 after the weekend's games with the Big 12 tournament set to begin on March 12. Baylor and Oklahoma State sit squarely on the at-large bubble, and even West Virginia has an outside shot at an NCAA tournament bid if it can get hot.
With so much on the line, the last week of the Big 12 play could also be the most competitive one.
"Every team has two games left. None of them are easy," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "It's going to go right down to the wire."
In theory, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the second and fifth seeds for the upcoming league tournament. The four teams currently stuck in a second-place logjam will likely get first-round byes and play a NCAA tournament-quality team in the quarterfinals no matter where they're seeded.
But the No.2 and No.3 seeds would avoid a potential matchup with Kansas until the championship game.
Oklahoma (21-8) and Kansas State (20-9) held those tiebreakers for the second and third spots on Monday, and the Sooners appeared to be in the best position to keep it. Oklahoma hosts West Virginia
(16-13, 8-8) on Wednesday night and closes at TCU (9-19, 0-16) on Saturday.
Should the Sooners win out, they'll clinch the No. 2 seed and perhaps push Lon Kruger's bid to become the Big 12 Coach of the Year over the top.

"He's done a great job with these guys." Kansas coach Bill Self said of Kruger. "It's not a surprise that they're 10-6 in our league. But I think to most people from the outside looking in, if you told people before the season that this is where they'd be I think everybody would agree that Lon and his staff have done a terrific job."
Iowa State (22-6), who on Monday ranked last among the second-place teams because of tiebreakers, get Baylor (19-10, 7-9) on the road and Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9) at home on Saturday.
K-State has the opposite schedule, with Oklahoma State on the road on Monday followed by Baylor at home.
To the Bears and Cowboys, a win over the Cyclones or Wildcats would be a huge boost to their NCAA tournament hopes. Oklahoma State had won three in a row since Marcus Smart returned from his suspension, a stretch that included a 72-65 win over Kansas on Saturday.

West Virginia plays Oklahoma and host Kansas, and if they sweep those teams they could move into position to an at-large bid.
Such a scenario might sound implausible. But the depth and quality of the Big 12, along the huge implications of these final games, figures to make for an interesting end to an entertaining regular season.

Russian boxer's life threatened by lack of ringside precautions
THE MORNING BREW
Russian boxer Magomed Abdualamov was 18-0. Undefeated, the victories all by knockout
dusalamov was 18-0. Undefeated, the victories all by knockout. Now Mago, as he is known to family and friends, lies in a rehabilitation center in upstate New York in a medically induced coma. The doctors say Mago will very likely never walk or talk again, let alone enter another boxing ring.
On Nov. 2, 2013, Abdusalamov fought Cuban Mike Perez in a heavyweight bout. Perez landed 312 punches on the Russian heavyweight in the 10-round contest.
Things started heading south for Abdusalamov in the very first round. When the first bell sounded, Mago had already broken his left hand.
"They should have stopped it after the first round when he broke his hand," Mago's wife, Bakanay Abdusalamov, said. "I just want to turn back time. I look at him and I still can't believe it happened."
"Perez landed 33 punches in the (first) round, more than double the sport's average," the New York Post reported.
Abusalamov continued to receive a beating and by the sixth round, he could barely close his mouth because he was having difficulty breathing through his broken nose and severely disfigured face.
By Ben Felderstein sports@kansan.com
The Russian Mike Tyson, as Mago was often called, headed to his dressing room to be examined after the fight. Two licensed neurosurgeons employed by the New York State Athletic Commission went to the boxer's quarters, but failed to notice the severity of Abdusalamov's injuries. One came to take a urine test to check for drugs while the other asked him to count to five.
During the fight, Abdusalamov complained of a headache to his trainer multiple times in between rounds. His trainer said he was fine and urged him to continue.
Perez landed an illegal forearm punch that broke his nose. This punch went unnoticed and should have ended the fight immediately.
The doctors did not feel that an ambulance was immediately necessary, even though there were two waiting outside Madison Square Garden. One informed Mago he should get his broken nose checked, but it could wait. Abdusalamov made his way out of MSG with his trainer, Boris Grinberg to hail a cab.
"They give him no attention," Grinberg said. "No ambulance!"
Abdusalamov stumbled his way to the sidewalk and repeatedly threw up. Grinberg and Mago waited outside Madison Square Garden on a busy Saturday night waiting for a cab. They had to beg a stranger to give up his cab to get Mago to the hospital quickly.
They got into a taxi and drove to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital. The hospital was 30 blocks away. He continuously shook the entire ride, while his condition worsened.
Doctors gave Abusalamov a CAT scan and revealed swelling and a blood clot on his brain. Emergency surgery was performed and a piece of his skull was removed to allow room for his swelling brain. He suffered two strokes during surgery.
After surgery, Abdusalamov was placed into a medically induced coma. No one stopped this fight. Plenty of people had the authority, but no one stopped it. There were five doctors at the Garden that night, including Dr. Barry Jordan, who is the lead doctor for the NYSAC and is considered to be an expert regarding brain injuries. And no one called the fight.
After surgery, Abudsalamov was abducted geographically in coma.
"Doctors are hesitant to call fights for fear they won't be assigned to work future bouts," the Post reports.
THE BREW
Doctors are more interested in making money and being scheduled for more fights than for the boxer's health.
"It is horrible. I am not afraid to say it." Grinberg said. "New York State Athletic Commission is horrible. It is dangerous for these people to be so careless and not do anything."
The Abdusalamov family is suing New York State for $100 million.
Mike Perez dedicated his January 18 bout to Abdusalamov by stitching "Mage" into his trunks.
"I just want to honor him," Perez said.
"I just want to honor him, Perez said. Honoring him would have been deciding to end the fight himself, even if it meant losing. Honoring him would have meant caring about a man's life more than a victory.
At what point does the very future of your competitor take second place to being declared the victor? At what point is winning not the most important thing?

COMMENTARY
Embiid's health will make or break season
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
Kansas can win the next two conference games without Joel Embid. What it cannot do is win the national championship without him.
For this reason, Bill Self chose to sit Embiid until the Big 12 tournament.
Against Oklahoma State, Embib reaggravated his back. He remained in the game, but his speed was compromised and he could barely jump enough to contest shots. Embib has only played basketball for three years, and the stress and intensity of a full season seems to be taking its toll.
Embiid may still be raw, but he is the most important player on the team. His absence in the Kansas State game in particular was noticeable. Without his daunting presence throughout much of the second half and overtime, the Wildcats finished with great success. Even Will Spradling converted shots in the paint. Not having Jamari Traylor certainly didn't help, but Embiid's injury contributed to the disappointing loss.
Very few teams have players who can match-up with Embiid from a physical standpoint. Wiggins is a special talent, but the NCAA has talent comparable to him at the small forward position. Embiid is what takes Kansas over the top. He is consistently double-teamed in the post, and no other player commands that kind of attention. Without his presence, defenders tend to lurk closer to the 3-point line and prevent open jumpers.
On defense, opposing guards rarely challenge Embiid. Kansas' guards struggle to stay in front of other guards with a quick first step. Embiid masks this deficiency with an innate sense of timing and spacing. His long arms disrupt passing lanes, which is important as he is generally forced to abandon his man when he provides defensive help.
Against West Virginia and Texas Tech, Kansas should have enough talent to overcome Embidd's absence. West Virginia's three leading scorers are guards. If Kansas' perimeter players can be active on defense, Kansas should be able to notch a tough road victory. Against Texas Tech, it is likely Kansas will ride the home court and a large talent discrepancy.
These next two games are important for Tarik Black and Traylor, who will see more playing time than they have since November.
Embiad, even if fully healthy, is susceptible to foul trouble. Especially during March Madness, opposing coaches will try to attack Embiad and create contact. As a freshman, Embiad may take the bait. Black and Traylor might soon play important minutes of a do-or-die game, and the West Virginia and Texas Tech games will only make them more comfortable.
Ultimately, Kansas needs Embid to be healthy if it is going to win all six games in the NCAA tournament. Even if Embid is in foul trouble, he's more valuable with four fouls than he is sitting in street clothes. Against the best, Embid will be crucial.
it's tough to rationalize sitting a superstar for two games when, in theory, he could probably play. But Kansas' season depends on Embibid being healthy.

BILL SELF - KANSAS
JOEL EMBIID MISSING TWO GAMES
On Saturday in Stillwater, Okla., Kansas lost to Oklahoma State and the Jayhawks lost freshman center Joel Embiid due to injury. The injury occurred when Embiid attacked the basket and was fouled to the ground.
"It's a similar thing as before, it's a lower back strain," coach Self said. "It's not close to being 100 percent because he aggravated it."
Embiid will sit out against Texas Tech on Wednesday and West Virginia on Saturday. The rest will give Embiid 11 days off before the Big 12 Conference tournament, which will be more time than
his previous five-day rest from the original injury.
"I don't think it will affect his postseason," Self said about Embiid's injury.
MARCUS SMART FALSEY QUOTES
BILL SELF
After the Kansas game on Saturday, Oklahoma State sophomore guard Marcus Smart interviewed with ESPN's Shannon Spake. Smart told Spake that before the game, the coaches showed the Cowboys' team a quote from Bill Self saying he was coming to Stillwater to cut down the nets, and Self was going to win the Big 12 Conference title outright.
TRAVIS FORD - OKLAHOMA STATE
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford denies that he provided a quote from Bill Self.
"There was no quote that we showed them and Self didn't mention that whatsoever," Ford said about Smart's comments. "We did talk about what they were playing for...We didn't want them celebrating in our arena."
FRED HOIBERG - IOWA STATE
DEANDRE KANE BEING
CONSIDERED FOR BIG 12 PLAYER
OF THE YEAR
Iowa State's senior guard DeAndre Kane won Newcomer of the Week this week, his fourth overall, after defeating West Virginia and losing at Kansas State. In those two games, Kane posted 20.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. Kane had his sixth double-double against the Mountaineers with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Iowa State's head coach Fred Hoiberg talked about what it takes for Kane to win the most valuable player in the Big 12 Conference.
"What someone does during the course of the year, how they made their team better and how they impact the game," Hoiberg said about what it takes for someone to win the conference MVP. "There's some great players in this league and it will be interesting how it all plays out."
SCOTT DREW - BAYLOR
The past two weeks, the Baylor Bears have come through with wins that can help impact their postseason. The Bears have wins over Oklahoma State, Kansas State
KENNY CHEERY IS BACK TO FULL FORM
and Texas Tech. Baylor coach Scott Drew thinks the turnover of play comes from the junior guard Kenny Cherry being healthy.
"Once he was able to start practicing again, he was able to get some rhythm and chemistry with the team," Drew said about Cherry returning to the lineup. "I think he is playing his best basketball on both ends of the court."
Cherry leads the Bears with 4.9 assists per game, and he's averaging 15 points per game after earning high minutes against Kansas State, where Cherry had a triple-double with 20 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds against the Wildcats.

Kansas holds off celebrations after loss
"None whatsoever," Ford said.
Ford simply tried to motivate his players by reminding them what Kansas
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com
With a win over Oklahoma State on Saturday night, Kansas would have clinched the Big 12 title outright. Except, after Kansas State defeated second-place Iowa State just minutes into the Jayhawks' clash with the Cowboys, Kansas officially clinched first-place regardless of the outcome of its game.
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said he did not show his team a quote where Self said Kansas would cut down the nets after a win.
in his weekly Big 12 teleconference on Monday. Self denied the comment, saying it was "100 percent false" that he intended to celebrate by cutting down the nets on the Cowboys' home court.
Of course, Oklahoma State ended up winning 72-65, preventing Kansas from putting an exclamation point on securing one of the best conferences in the country. In an interview with ESPN after the game, Oklahoma State sophomore guard Marcus Smart turned heads by saying his coaches showed the team a Bill Self quote for motivation before heading into the matchup.
"That was disturbing seeing that," Self said. "I don't know where he got that information."
"The coaches showed us a quote of Bill Self saying he was coming here cutting down our nets, and he was gonna win it outright in Stillwater," Smart said. "We couldn't let that happen in our house, so I just knew I had to keep pushing until the end."
had at stake, which was a chance to celebrate after clinching the conference title outright. He believes that Smart equated the Jayhawks celebrating to cutting down the nets, a common celebration for teams that win a conference title.
An owner of ten conference titles with Kansas, Self isn't known for having his teams cut down the nets, whether it is at Allen Fieldhouse or on the road. While it is common for the Jayhawks to celebrate a conference title, Self makes sure the celebration isn't public.
"All celebratory things that would take place with anything like that, especially on the road, would take place in the confines of a locker room," Self said.
Despite winning the title outright, Self is saving the celebration for a time his team can fully enjoy it—after a win.
Smart, who was projected as a top five pick in the NBA Draft after his freshman season, shocked everyone by returning to Stillwater for a second year. It's been a less-than-stellar one for Smart, who has also drawn unwanted attention for his tendency to flop and his inability to control his emotions during games.
Besides preventing a Kansas celebration, Ford also reminded his players what else was at stake for them. Oklahoma State endured a seven-game losing streak a couple weeks ago and needs quality wins the rest of the season to make the NCAA Tournament.
there is no public record of Self saying he intended to cut down the nets after a victory over the Cowboys.

The Student Union Activity fee currently sits at $5. The proposed cut that was presented by the Student Senate Fee Review is a cut of 50 cents.
"It's going to cut back on the diversity of things we offer, and events such as the Campus Movie Series, which is something that a lot of people go to."
The Student Senate Finance Committee will discuss the fee at 6 p.m. tonight in the Alderson Auditorium.

"It's going to cut back on the diversity of things we offer, and events such as the Campus Movie Series, which is something that a lot of people go to." SUA president Camden Bender said. "It's something that we've looked at getting rid of completely,
don't want to to expand those areas [academic and cultural events] where they think we are deficient currently."
Bender also said that SUA may have to look at reducing the number of committees currently programming SUA events to six instead of its current eight.
Subha Upadhyayula, SUA's live event coordinator, said the cuts could also affect the
amount of talent fees that the organization is able to offer to entertainers while trying to book acts, musicians and bands downtown or on campus.
"Booking a concert is a lot different when you're looking at how much a concert is, and offering upon a concert and talent fees." Upadhyayula said. "It's completely different. I think the type of talent that we would have to look into is going to be completely different with this budget. We can't get — obviously we still would not be able to get Beyonce — but it just depends. It will be a lot more difficult."

A Gallup study found that employers are more interested in students' skills and personality traits than what students majored in.
Skill tops major in job searches
CODY KUIPER
news@kansan.com
When whittling down choices for college, many students weigh the academic pros and cons of each school and major they're considering. New data shows those qualifiers might not mean much in the job market.
According to a recent poll from Gallup, business leaders are looking at a job applicant's skills and experience rather than their alma mater or field of study. Only nine percent of business leaders polled said a job applicant's college is a major factor in the hiring process, and 28 percent of them said the candidate's major is a very important factor.
Jake Schmitz, a school leader of the KIPP Endeavor, a Kansas City charter school for inner-city kids that hires many of its teachers fresh out
of college, said employers like him aren't necessarily looking for a specific degree from their applicants. He said he first looks for positive character and behavioral traits when interviewing candidates, in addition to their education and experience, because those are great indicators of potential success.
"We believe that if you have the right mindset and character traits, then we can support you to become a better teacher." Schmitz said.
He added that one of the most important aspects of hiring is making sure the applicant fits into the company's goals on a personal, non-academic level.
"I would put mission alignment above you graduating with a degree in education.

New social media policy under review
MCKENNA HARFORD
news@kansan.com
The work group created by the Kansas Board of Regents shared a preliminary discussion draft of the social media policy with Kansas universities on Monday.
A major change in the draft policy is the shift from a disciplinary tone to an advisory tone. The current policy gives universities the power to punish or fire faculty for improper use of social media; the new draft gives advice to faculty and is more of a guideline.
"The revision encourages use of social media that serves the mission of the University, as well as reminding faculty and staff that they shouldn't violate the law on social media," said Charles Epp, a professor in the office of Public Affairs and Administration, and co-chair of the work group.

The group was formed to
make revisions and recommendations to the Board on the social media policy they approved on Dec.18, which was met with much criticism from faculty and administration.
"We had two broad goals: to
ing proper use of social media without infringing on the free speech rights of faculty and staff.
"The draft policy was excellently constructed and a hallmark of concerned colleagues who understand aca-
"Some damage has been done, but if the Regents adopt the policy, it'd be a great step to repair the damage done to the reputation."
meet the charge of the work group, which was to recommend a policy to the regents and to do that in a way that is consistent with the values of academic freedom and the first amendment." Epp said.
RON BARRETT-GONZALEZ aerospace engineering professor
So far the draft has been widely supported as the type of social media policy address-
demic freedom and freedom of speech."Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering and President-Elect of the State of Kansas Conference of the American Association of University Professors Ron Barrett-Gonzalez said.
The shift to an advisory tone helps address many of the
concerns of faculty, such as protecting the free speech of employees. According to Barrett-Gonzalez, another faculty concern was how the policy could damage the degrees students are earning.
"Some damage has been done, but if the Regents adopt the policy, it'd be a great step to repair the damage done to the reputation," Barrett-Gonzalez said. "It's a shame that this wasn't adopted from the start.
Students and faculty can view the draft and add comments on the University Governance web page. The deadline to submit feedback is March 28.
The draft policy will be reviewed at the next work group meeting on April 4, where they will make revisions based on the comments made by the universities. The final draft will be recommended to the Board on April 16.

"Something like this gets the general public disengaged and doesn't want to get students involved in the election," Parker said. "I think it's really discouraging."

The Jayhawkers coalition has not issued an official statement as to whether or not they are in support of Not KU Elections. However, Kristina Maude, campaign manager, and TJ Blake, social media coordinator and public relations director, agreed that the account creates engagement among the student body.
I think that at some level I find some of them [Not KU Elections tweets] to be harshly worded," said Blake.
However, Blake doesn't think the account is a bad thing because it creates active engagement, questioning and people caring about the election. He also said this account is a representation of the real world because not everyone is going to agree with what you do or stand for.
Free State and Crimson and True, two new coalitions, said they have no official stance about Not KU Elections.
Mitch Rucker, elections liaison for Free State, did say that some of the tweets are pretty accurate and tell the "naked truth."
Jeffery Durbin, a junior from Fort Scott, is a former Student Senate member and follows Not KU Elections on Twitter.
"The important part of being a representative of a population means representing the entire population," says Durbin.
He said this account brings forth another opinion on elections as well.
"We believe in awareness, engagement and a good laugh." Not KU Elections said in an email. "If a coalition can't handle a good poke, they should out of the fire."
The account has 64 followers as of Tuesday evening.

It's literally the first question we ask," Schmitz said. "We really look for that mission alignment, for people who are passionate, and if they're fired up about it, we feel that's a great first step to them being successful."
Paige Adamany, a freshman from Leawood studying Strategic Communications, said she knows future employers may not put much stock in a specific major, so she went with one that she hopes will provide her with enough diversity to impress on job applications.
"I definitely think KU had the better journalism program, so that was a factor for me that KU had better programs for what I was interested in," Adamany said. "I know my major is pretty broad, so I'm aware I can go other places with it and that's what I really like about it, I'm not boxed in."
Gallup's study also found a large gap in how well universities think they have prepared their graduates for the workforce and how well businesses think they have. Ninety-six percent of college and university chief academic officers say they are extremely or somewhat confident they are preparing students properly for their jobs, while only 11 percent of business leaders agree.
This isn't a new issue though, according to David Gaston, director of the University Career Center. He said businesses look at hiring through a cost-benefit analysis, and the resources it takes to find the right person for a job can cost a company upwards of $100,000, so they expect universities to act as a training program for their potential employees in order to save some cash.
"If a student can show in one way or another they're going to add more value to their company than what they're going to pay them, they're going to be more likely to get hired," Gaston said. "One of the best ways to do that is through an internship or some other type of work experience, because you've shown them you can work in an environment similar to theirs and they're going to get a better return on their investment."
Gaston said graduates looking for jobs need to find a balance of depth and breadth when it comes to their field of study to raise chances of getting that first job. Students in professional schools will provide a depth of knowledge in a specific field, he said, which is much more helpful when it comes to breaking into the
Because of this, Gaston said job candidates have to show employers how hiring them will fit nicely into the budget.
job market, but those with a broad knowledge of a field may have a better opportunity to work their way up in a company. The problem for those without depth is breaking into the job market to begin with, Gaston added.
"When you're hiring a student in an entry level position, those with a lot of depth find it easier to get a job because you can put them on a task, and they'll get after it quickly, so they need less training" he said. "Unless these graduates that have majors that have more breadth have shown they have depth in some way, they'll have trouble finding that first job."

University research: race plays role in traffic stops
DALTON KINGERY
news@kansan.com
A team of University professors has completed research that suggests race is a significant factor in determining who gets pulled over more frequently by police.
The research, funded by the National Science Foundation, will be published in the upcoming book "Pulled Over: How Police Stops Define Race and Citizenship." The book, co-authored by University professors Charles Epp, Don Haider-Markel and Steven Maynard-Moody, is scheduled to be released in April by the University of Chicago Press and focuses on the disproportionate rate at which police pull over minority drivers.
The researchers released select information from the book as a preview for potential readers.
Police routinely stop drivers for committing minor violations, such as driving a couple of miles per hour over the speed limit, or having a burned-out license-plate light.
to check for criminal activity. These stops, called investigatory stops, involve minority drivers far more frequently than white drivers, according to the research.
Based on the professors' findings, a black man 25 years or younger has a 28 percent chance of being stopped by police for an investigatory stop over the course of one year. This figure stands in stark contrast to those of white men and women in the same age range, who stand at 12.5 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
The researchers are hopeful that their findings can become a catalyst for change in police practices, and believe that law enforcement agencies will be receptive to their findings.
The researchers believe that this disparity poses a problem because it negatively affects the way that minority citizens perceive the police force, and makes it more difficult for law enforcement officers to effectively perform their duties.
Epp was also quick to defuse any notions that the research would be received antagonistically by law enforcement agencies.

"We're optimistic that the findings will be well-received."
"I've talked to a lot of groups about our research, and almost everyone is interested and
"I've talked to police officers, and they are always very interested in the research, and open to internal reform." Epp said. "We are not suggesting that individual police officers are being deliberately racist."

California gold discovery spurs rush of theories
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Word last week that a Northern California couple found $10 million in gold coins while walking their dog has set off a Gold Rush of theories over who left behind all that loot.
David Hall. co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service, poses with some of 1,427 Gold-Rush era U.S. gold coins, at his California office Tuesday, Feb. 25.. A California couple out walking their dog on their property stumbled across $10 million of buried, rare, mint-condition gold coins.
One is that Jesse James' gang deposited it in hopes of some day financing a second Civil War. Another postulates that the gold originally belonged to gentleman robber Black Bart, who wrote poetry when he wasn't sticking up stagecoaches.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But the theory gaining the most traction this week is that the hoard is made up of most of the $30,000 in gold coins that Walter Dimmick stole from the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1901. The coins were never recovered.
That theory, from fishing guide and amateur coin historian Jack Trout, set off a flurry of calls to the U.S. Mint after it was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday.
The Northern California couple's coins are called the Saddle Ridge Hoard after the area of the couple's land where they were discovered.
any United States Mint facility," mint officials said in a statement issued Tuesday.
"We do not have any information linking the Saddle Ridge Hoard coins to any thefts at
"There is no real direct proof, but I am getting more research in on this," he told The Associated Press by phone Tuesday from Chile, where he lives part of the year.
Although Trout acknowledges he can't prove his theory, he still thinks he's right.
Dimmick is said to have spirited six sealed bags — each filled with 250 $20 gold pieces — out of the mint, where he was the chief cashier.
The Saddle Ridge Hoard contains 1,400 $20 gold pieces, 50 $10 gold pieces and four $5 gold pieces, with a range of dates beginning in 1847 and extending to 1894.
Don Kagin is a rare coin dealer who represents the couple who stumbled upon the coins, which have a face value of about $28,000. He said the San Francisco Mint heist was one of the first possibilities he and his staff checked out.
Even if the mint had coins on hand covering a span of 47 years, which is unlikely, those in the hoard include some so badly worn that they wouldn't have been there, said David McCarthy, Kagin's chief numismatist.
Another coin, dated 1876,
was in such pristine condition that it wouldn't have been there either.
"It doesn't have a single marking on it," McCarthy said. "That coin couldn't have sat in a bag in the San Francisco Mint and looked like that. It would have had what we call
"bag marks' all over it."
As for some of the other theories:
— The Jesse James one fails to account for the fact the Missouri outlaw died 12 years before the last coin was struck and was born the year the first one was.
Black Bart robbed stages only between 1877 and 1883, when he was caught and sent to prison.
The finders, who have chosen to remain anonymous, have their own theory.
They've done some research, Kagin said, and believe their
property in California's Gold Rush country was occupied at the time by someone in the mining industry. That person must have squirreled away the coins over time.
Why the owner never came back for the coins, well, that's another mystery.

Syllabus changes cause problems for students
ACADEMICS
"The professor reserves the right to amend the syllabus." I've seen those words in countless syllabi during my six-year stint here at the University. On the one hand, it makes sense. I presume that my professor, a learned and wise scholar, knows the best way to teach me the material. So if he or she decides to change things up, to rearrange the schedule or alter the homework a bit, that's totally fine.
The problem is when teachers let this power go to their heads — when they get too freewheeling in their changes to the syllabus. If I'm paying $1,000 for a class (which I am, I just checked my bill). I expect some degree of stability throughout the semester. I want to know what I'm paying for, and I want to be able to plan my life around classwork. So while it's fine if we need to reschedule a class because you'll be gone next month, it definitely is not fine if you alter the schedule or homework with very short notice. Amazingly enough, I have other classes with other (sometimes more pressing) responsibilities. And, wouldn't you believe it, I have a life outside the classroom, a life where I like to eat and sleep and sometimes, just sometimes, be able to hang out friends and family.
For further proof, let's break it down: there are 120 hours in a five-day working week. Subtract five hours for breakfasts/getting ready in the morning (yes, I take an hour to get ready; I move slowly in the morning). Subtract another seven and a half hours for dinners and lunch (assuming I spend a half hour making/eating lunch, and an hour making/eating dinner each day). If I'm in class for 15 hours, and I spend roughly three hours per class doing homework (I average around 400 pages of reading a week), that leaves us with 47.5 hours. Subtract 40 hours for sleep (eight times five), and we're left with seven and a half hours. Then, for purposes of true scientific accuracy, we'll subtract another hour per day for commuting to and from class. That leaves two and a half hours. Two and a half
By Preston Bukaty opinion@kansan.com
hours of glorious, God-given free time, and that's assuming I plan out my schedule to the exact minute. If everything goes exactly as planned, I don't even have enough time to watch "The Wolf of Wall Street" in one sitting. That's what we're dealing with here.
But what happens when everything doesn't go as planned? What if my grandma dies, my apartment floods, my car shoots craps or I eat a bad burrito and I shoot craps? Then that whole schedule goes to hell. The same thing happens when a teacher changes the schedule or adds additional homework at the last minute. There just isn't enough time. Time is a zero-sum game, so spending more time on one class requires that I cut time from somewhere else. And since I only have two and a half hours to truly devote to myself, chances are some other class work is going to suffer. I'll cut corners, skim readings or skip class altogether just to make up the additional work.
I'm sure some professors reading this will advise that I use my weekends to do the additional work, but I like to reserve that time to actually live my life, exercise, see family and friends or finish "The Wolf of Wall Street." All of these activities are equally scheduled to some degree, so a late Friday email upping the week's reading only frustrates my weekends as well. "Sorry mom, I know grandma's birthday dinner was planned for Saturday night, but my teacher just decided I need to do 100 more pages of reading. Hopefully grandma will make it to next year!"
So yes, while I do believe a professor reserves the right to amend a class, I also believe that right has limits. A professor, a wise and learned scholar, should recognize that his or her students have other responsibilities, and changing the syllabus at the last minute complicates those responsibilities.

ECONOMY
College pricing itself out of the middle class
In order to be competitive in today's job market, one needs a solid educational background. Every year, thousands of students are reminded of how important their education will be in deciding the future they will one day enjoy, and it is becoming more and more apparent education may be the only path to financial success in the near future.
By Rob Pyatt
opinion@kansan.com
Education has historically been the primary mode of social and economic mobility, allowing millions to improve their lives and build the largest and most diverse economy in the world. This system being necessary for the production of a competitive global economy has developed over the past half-century to the point where businesses now demand some form of college education in order to be hired.
While widespread higher education for the masses is a good thing, it poses a peculiar economic problem for thousands of American families. Over the past half-century, particularly since the early 1970s, the cost of and demand for higher education has increased immensely. What has not grown, and what is beginning to concern millions of Americans is the lack of growing wages while the cost of education continues to skyrocket. Since the early 1970s, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, wages have remained virtually
stagnant, with little growth in much of the modern workforce as the level of production from businesses and the cost of education have both grown steadily.
The lack of significant growth in wages has made the middle class, income average of $32,000, more and more reliant on less expensive options like online degree programs or attending smaller schools with lower tuition.
According to a June 2011 article from CNN Money, the average cost of a four year education at most American universities has increased approximately 130 percent since the 1980s, stemming from a decrease in government support for universities, the enlarging of university programs, more public services for students, as well as more diverse and technologically-demanding degree programs.
This dramatic increase in the cost of an education has created a growing problem of affordability with the middle class. As college has become more expensive, families and individuals looking to enter the job market armed with a college degree are becoming desperate for universities that are affordable to attend which
will not accrue extensive debt. According to the Project on Student Debt, 71 percent of college students in 2013 held at least some student loan debt, with the average debt being $29,400 per borrowing student. In addition, from 2008 to 2012, total college debt accumulation from federal and private loans saw a 6 percent increase per year, which coincidentally mirrors the average increase in tuition per year of about five percent.
For now, the cost of an education is still fairly manageable for many American families,but what about ten years from now,when the average price per year of a four year education at a large university is estimated to cost, according to The Education Board's 2011 report on trends in education, approximately $41,325 for public institutions and $82,240 for private institutions?
The modern system of education and business form a sensitive equilibrium, that, when unbalanced, can spell economic disaster for those seeking and those providing jobs now and in the future. Universities will need to learn to control their consumption and expansion, so as to continue to provide students with an education that is affordable and cost-effective.

BECK MORNING PHASE
CAPITOL
Beck's latest release echoes earlier album
I cannot begin to describe my excitement when Beck announced he would not only be releasing a new album this year, but he would be releasing two. Six years have passed since Beck's last studio album, 2008's fantastic "Modern Guilt." Besides releasing an album compiled entirely of sheet music, all seemed to be quiet on Beck's front.
Well, the wait is finally over and Beck has released the first of his two albums, "Morning Phase," and the results are slightly underwhelming. Now don't get me wrong, this is by no means a bad album. It just so happens that what it sets out to do is slightly impossible — that is to recapture the magic that was Beck's 2002 masterpiece of heartache "Sea Change."
I've always been weary of bands or artists who attempt to recreate the sounds of one of their most famous albums. To me, those kind of moves

entertain@kansan.com
always sound like a cheap cash grab, designed more to appease fans rather than any true artistic decision. However, I do not believe that to be the case here. Beck has always been an artist who has done whatever he wants and that rang true on the original "Sea Change." Fans who had been used to Beck only as the ironic slacker behind albums like "Odelay" were shocked at the stark sincerity and emotions of "Sea Change" when it was first released. There is no other album in Beck's canon quite like it, until now anyway.
in the same vein as Nick Drake, but many of the tracks seem to blend together. That's the biggest problem with "Morning Phase" when compared to "Sea Change" where every track seemed to stand on its own merits. The only exceptions are the lead single "Blue Goodbye," which features Beck's most heartfelt performance to date, the opening track "Morning," which sounds like it could be the second part to "The Golden Age" and "Blackbird Chain" with its beautiful acoustic guitar lines.
The instrumentation on the album is full of lush strings and melancholy vocals much
For those who are fans of the "Sea Change" sound, you will probably enjoy this album. For as much criticism as I have given it, I still think it's well made. I'm just hoping Beck's second album this year is something a little different.

Chanel fashion show crowd loots Paris supermarket set
PARIS — Ever wonder what Keira Knightley and Rihanna do when they just want to go to the grocers like average people?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
They go to Karl Lagerfeld's luxury Chanel supermarket, of course.
Tuesday saw the fashion showman put on a "Chanel Shopping Center" fall-winter show that featured an audacious Walmart-sized reconstruction and saw the celebrity pair applaud vigorously from the front row.
They clearly didn't seem to mind sitting near the canned goods food section.
However, events took a nose dive after the show when the rowdy fashion crowd looted the set.
Here are the highlights of Chanel's incredible ready-to-wear shows in Paris.
The attention to detail was
astounding.
An entire supermarket had been reconstructed across several hundred square meters of Paris' Grand Palais.
that Lagerfeld is fashion's greatest showman.
Guests stared in disbelief at shelves bursting with consumable products especially made for this show: bottles of "Tweed cola," wine branded "Maison Gabrielle," and even grilled bread stamped "CC."
This was clearly a fall-winter show like no other.
Chanel trolleys at the side led on to a tall pile of coconuts next to writing "1 for the price of 2," a fresh fruits and veg section, and large signs advertising Chanel's latest special offers.
Though the set was a universal hit, perhaps Monsieur Lagerfeld later had one regret: telling revelers they could help themselves to the produce.
At the very least, it's proof
Instead of discounts they read "50 percent markup."
"Luxury should be worn like you're going to the supermarket. It's the pop art of the 21st century," said the couturier in high spirits.
It triggered a stealing-frenzy, with security guards having to swoop in as revelers stripped the shelves.
At the exit, fashionistas' bags were actually searched to remove stolen goods.

Kansans more likely to flip-flop votes
MADDIE FARBER news@kansan.com
The Kansas governorship is among the 15 most likely to flip from one major political party to another, according to National Journal, a non-partisan political publication.
Don Haider-Markel, professor and chair of the department of political science, helped shed some light on what might be happening here in Kansas.
"It's a question now if Brownback can get some of what he wants in terms of education funding," Haider-Markel said. "When the economy is good, then the negative attitudes about
"Recent polling from late December through January shows that Paul Davis has a slight lead over Brownback," Haider-Markel said.
"Kansas is a Republican
state whose governor has low approval ratings and a democratic challenger with high numbers," Haider-Markel said. "It makes it more likely than in another year to say that this could flip."
"Kansas is a Republican state whose governor has low approval ratings and a democratic challenger with high numbers."
DON HAIDER-MARKEL political science professor
According to an article from the Wichita Eagle, when Davis first entered the race he announced his plan to reform education. He has also been critical of the cuts made to Kansas' income tax rates that were enacted by Brownback and the GOP-controlled legislature in 2012 and 2013.
income and corporate tax cuts being negative could change."
Haider-Markel explained that when the legislature introduces controversial bills, Davis has the opportunity to pin Brownback as being one of the Republicans in the House that is bringing negative attention to the state, even
when the governor doesn't directly support these bills.
Haider-Markel noted that even if a Democrat were to be elected as governor, this does not necessarily indicate Kansas is becoming less conservative.
It's only early March, there's a ways to go before the election and Brownback could turn around polling numbers," Haider-Markel said. "An incumbent is hard to defeat."
"There won't be a sharp overturn in the legislature, Haider-Markel said. "Odds are if he were elected, he would be working with a conservative legislature. Davis won't have much success if he doesn't take a moderate approach. The campaign has just started in Brownback's view. In the fall, we'll see a much closer race."

University professor John Edgar Tidwell and Johnson County Community College professor Carmaletta Williams published "My Dear Boy: Carrie Hughes's Letters to Langston Hughes" in order to explore an un-researched area of Langston Hughes's life.

"Even though college students are by nature diverse and simply different, I think they'll be able to see something of themselves in Carrie and Langston's relationship," Tidwell said. "I'm sure they'll see the value of family."
Tidwell and Williams' aim was not to change the public's opinion on Carrie Hughes but to provide them with more information.
"Scant scholarly attention had been given to Langston Hughes's mother, Carrie Hughes," Tidwell said. "When Dr. Williams discovered at Yale University's Beinecke Library a folder of letters Carrie had written Langston, she thought it would be a great opportunity to explore this mother's relationship to her son."
Famous Harlem Renaissance author Langston Hughes was a Lawrence native. English professor John Edgar Tidwell helped publish a book that examined Hughes' early life and his relationship with his mother.
College students might find something to relate to in the correspondence. Langston's relationship with his mother is filled with ups and downs. Carrie and Langston powered through financial and medical dilemmas together but were able to maintain their relationship.

"As a woman of color caught in the economic uncertainty of the Great Depression and the fatalism of breast cancer, she found herself depending more and more on her son for assistance."
This book has made waves throughout the University English department.

"This is a very important addition to our knowledge of Hughes," English professor
["They] have discovered...the way Langston Hughes worked out his family problems through art."

Langston "reply" to his mother?" Tidwell said. "The answer, we determined, was to be found in the art he created in those years."
A method that Tidwell and Williams used in reconstructing the mother-son correspondence was Bowen Family Systems Theory, an idea that studies the emotions of a family unit.
"[Tidwell and Williams] have discovered, in analyzing these previously unpublished letters, the way Langston Hughes worked out his family problems through art," Evans said.
"Once we understood the potential of Family Systems Theory, placing Langston in conversation with Carrie was rather easy", Tidwell said.
Through "My Dear Boy", Tidwell and Williams have taken a woman widely-known as Langston Hughes's mother and revived her to form Carrie Hughes: a complex, controversial individual who is also related to Langston Hughes.
"Did we redefine her image? It's unlikely that we made her a more likeable person," Tidwell said. "But we certainly broadened our understanding of what made her such a complicated woman."

Obama allots $300 million for Kan. lab

Senate Budget Committee Clerk Adam Kamp sets out copies of President Barack Obama's proposed budget for fiscal year 2015.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — President Barack Obama is proposing Congress provide another infusion of cash to continue construction of a new biosecurity lab in Kansas.
The president's budget was announced Tuesday and includes $300 million for the Department of Homeland Security to continue work on the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility under construction near Kansas State University.
The $1.25 billion new lab is designed to conduct research on large animals and related diseases, replacing an aging facility at Plum Island, N.Y.
Members of the Kansas congressional delegation issued a statement praising the funding recommendation, which they said would allow the lab to be built within budget.
The proposal will be addressed in the coming months by House and Senate appropriations committees before it is approved.
"This gives Congress a blueprint to provide the final portion of funding to advance construction of the modern, world-class NBAF facility so it can protect the national security of the United States," the delegation said in a statement. "We will continue to work to make certain NBAF remains a top priority for Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle as we work to secure

"Kansas will be the center of the animal health industry, playing a critical role for our nation and the world," he said Tuesday.
Gov. Sam Brownback said "years of hard, bipartisan work" were paying off with the latest funding announcement.
Kansas legislators have approved more than $300 million in bonding that represents the state's share of the cost for construction of the project. State officials have long touted the new lab as a key component of the nation's biosecurity network to protect the food supply from deadly diseases and viruses that could be unleashed on livestock.
The lab will be built adjacent to the Biosecurity Research Institute at Kansas State, where research into animal and plant threats is conducted. The Manhattan site is considered the western anchor of an animal health corridor that stretches east to Columbia, Mo., and includes many of the world's leading agriculture-related companies.

Transgender student recants sexual assault report

ASSOCIATED PRE
A security guard talks to man at the gate outside of the Hercules Middle/High School campus in Hercules, Calif., Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Police on Tuesday were investigating reports of a brutal assault of a transgender teen. The 15-year-old student told officers that he was leaving a boy's bathroom at the school on Monday when three teenage boys pushed him inside a handicapped stall and physically and sexually assaulted him, Hercules police Detective Connie Van Putten said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO - A transgender teenager who said he was beaten and sexually assaulted in a California high school bathroom recanted the story, police said Tuesday.
sorry, police said. The 15-year-old student at Hercules Middle/High School "admitted he fabricated the whole story" during an interview with a detective, Hercules police Detective Connie Van Putten said.
The teen, who is biologically female but identifies as male, had told officers he was leaving a boy's bathroom at the school Monday morning when three other boys pushed him inside a large stall and attacked him.
Officers took his statement and opened an investigation that included a sexual assault examination. But as the investigation continued, officers could not substantiate the facts of the boy's statement, including the time frame, and the he lacked any physical injuries to his head, face and hands, police said.
The student finally admitted he had made up the story during the follow-up interview with a detective Tuesday, Van Putten said.
"We investigated this thing as a true crime. We went at it full force until we found out there was no crime." Van Putten said. "So people should know if they believe they are a victim of a crime, we are going to give them our full attention."
The change left open the possibility that the teen could be charged with making a false criminal report, she said. Mario Trujillo, spokesman for the West Contra Costa Unified School District,
said school officials are less concerned with punishing the student than making sure he gets the support he needs to feel safe and comfortable at school.
"We recognize that life is complicated, and at the end of the day this is a request for help," Trujillo said.
The student's made-up account came as school districts across California are bringing their policies into compliance with a law that took effect Jan 1 guaranteeing students the right to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that match
Advocates who fought to get the law through the Legislature last year said the fact that the Hercules teen's story appeared to be untrue does not minimize the harassment that transgender students like him routinely face and the need for schools to work hard to address it.
"There is still an important piece of the story, which is that trans youth do face elevated levels of bullying and violence including physical assaults at school," said Carolyn
Laub, executive director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. "Even if this particular story isn't true, the school's response, to put in place plans for bringing the community together and addressing school safety and climate, is a good outcome."
the gender with which they identify.
Since November, Hercules High has been dealing with the fallout from an on-campus fight involving another transgender student and three girls that was captured in a cellphone video that went viral. The transgender teenager, Jewelys Gutierrez, a biological
male who identifies as female, was charged with misdemeanor assault and said she had repeatedly complained about being harassed at school before she fought back.
The West Contra Costa Unified School District also has been responding to criticism over its handling of sexual harassment involving students, including sexual assaults, inappropriate touching and verbal taunts. The U.S.Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights launched an investigation of the district after a female student was gang-
raped outside a homecoming dance at another high school in 2009,the year after another girl at a third high school was raped in a classroom by two classmates.
"West Contra Costa has had a lot of problems, but for today I'm glad that we don't have another problem, which would've been another problem that would've been a blight on this school district,"school board President Charles Ramsey said Tuesday after police concluded the latest incident had been fabricated.

Republican group shows support for gay marriage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — A group of Republicans has come out in support of legalizing gay marriage in Utah and Oklahoma, arguing that allowing same-sex unions is consistent with the Western conservative values of freedom and liberty once championed by Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater.
A group that includes former Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming and former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas plans to file a friend of the court brief Tuesday to a federal appeals court in Denver that is reviewing same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma, said Denver attorney Sean Gallagher, whose firm wrote the 30-page argument.
The full list of current and former Republican lawmakers signing the brief won't be available until it's officially sent to the court later Tuesday, but Gallagher said many prominent Republicans are re-examining their stance on gay marriage.
The group call themselves "conservatives, moderates and libertarians who embrace the individual freedoms protected by our Constitution," embrace Reagan's idea of the Republican Party being a "big tent," and share Goldwater's belief that the party shouldn't "seek to lead anyone's life for him," according to a copy of the brief provided to The Associated Press.
"It is precisely because marriage is so important in producing and protecting strong and stable family structures that (we) do not agree that the government can rationally promote the goal of strengthening families by denying civil marriage to same-sex couples." the argument says in the conclusion.
BRIEF
Republican group
Washington, D.C., and 17 states, mostly in the Northeast, allow same-sex marriage. Others may soon follow depending on how federal appeals courts, and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court, rule on state bans that have been overturned.
Including Utah and Oklahoma, six federal judges have issued pro-gay-marriage rulings since the Supreme Court's decision in Windsor v. U.S. in
"...(we) do not agree that the government can rationally promote the goal of strengthening families by denying civil marriage to same-sex couples."
In Kentucky, Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, announced Tuesday the state will hire outside attorneys to appeal a judge's decision granting legal recognition to same-sex couples married in other states and countries. That came as the state's attorney general, also a Democrat, announced that he would not pursue the case further.

Democratic attorneys
declined to defend same-sex-marriage bans that have been challenged in court by gay couples.
U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week that his state counterparts are not obligated to defend local laws banning same-sex marriage if they believe the laws violate the U.S. Constitution.
The gay marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma were passed by voters in 2004.
The Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal has assigned the same panel of judges to review both cases, which are on a fast track, but has decided to hold two differ ent hearings.
They were overturned by separate federal judges in each state within a month of each other in December and January.
The appeals court must decide if it agrees with the federal judges in Utah and Oklahoma who ruled that the bans violate gay and lesbian couples' rights to due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
The court will discuss Utah's case on April 10 and Oklahoma's on April 17.
Dozens of groups are expected to file friend of the court briefs before the Tuesday midnight deadline.
The American Military Partner Association and American Sociological Association have already filed.
The American Psychological Association and a group of religious organizations that include groups representing Episcopal, Unitarians and Methodists also plan to file briefs.

COMMENTARY
Black made most of his year
By Mike Vernon sports@kansan.com
A Kansas player with a Memphis tattoo on his arm will speak to the masses tonight.
Tarik Black only played one year here in Lawrence, and he'll be making a speech typically reserved for those who have spent four years wearing crimson and blue. When Black speaks, he certainly shouldn't be overlooked or penalized because Kansas fans never spent time cursing him as a freshman before he blossomed into a quality role-player off the bench.
In fact, it should be the opposite. This is a unique situation presenting itself on one of the more unique stages college athletics has to offer. Senior Night at Kansas is a special opportunity, and Black will be at its forefront.
“It’s been so intriguing and so interesting.” Black said, “It feels like yesterday I got on campus. That’s crazy to me.”
Black took advantage of the system the NCAA laid out in incoming to spend one last year at the University. He's a thesis paper away from getting his masters in African-American Studies and had the opportunity to play on national television almost every game.
+
This whole season has been special," Black said. "It's probably the fastest season I've played."
He didn't have to come to Kansas, but he took a chance on Bill Self and the foreign land of Lawrence. It's safe to say he feels it was the right decision.
"I've learned so much about basketball, life and myself," Black said, "I was meant to be here. This is where I'm supposed to be. This is life-changing for me."
Black said he learned more about basketball in his one year at Kansas than he ever had before. He credits Self's knowledge and experience for his gain and made sure not to knock his former Memphis coach, Josh Pastner, while doing so, saying Pastner and his players were growing together
Yet, from the outside, it appears Black never wavered. He helped mold Embbid. He was a team spokesman before ever playing one game in the Big 12. And you can't leave out the dunk of the year - the one that sent Wayne Selden Jr. flying down the bench and back again.
Sure, it didn't go as planned for Black. The constant foul issues at the beginning of the year and losing his starting job to a future top-five (No.1) draft pick isn't anything you can plan.
Black was only here for a few months, and he should be remembered for it.
"He's got something about him that I think every kid yearns for," Self said. "He's ultra-positive; his attitude is very, very good; he's got energy and he's always trying to make others better.
"I'll remember that."

BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
"...I wouldn't change anything. I don't regret my decision coming here."
JUSTIN WESLEY senior basketball player
redshirt senior forward Justin Wesley has undergone some major transitions in his life.
During that time, Wesley's older brother Keith Langford enjoyed an impressive career at Kansas (2001-05) that included two trips to the Final Four. Wesley said he and his mother felt like part of the Jayhawk family, and he even got to attend both trips to the Final Four in 2002 and 2003.
The 6-9, 220-pound Wesley began his collegiate career at Lamar University, where he played one season and averaged 1.2 points per game. Wesley said Lamar was "OK" but had dreamed of playing at Kansas, a place he originally committed to in the fourth grade.
Wesley said it has been a task accepting these different roles, admitting he expected to play more minutes during his jayhawk career.
"I just fell in love with the place, the games and the campus," Wesley said. "I just felt like always in my heart, I wanted to come back."
Wesley kept in touch with Kansas coach Bill Self through the years but decided to attend Lamar. Knowing he had expressed interest in coming back to Lawrence, Self extended an invitation for him to play at Kansas as a walk-on. He jumped on the opportunity.
During his first season in 2011-12, Wesley averaged nearly nine minutes a game for a team that made the National Championship.
While at Kansas, Wesley has transitioned from a key bench contributor his sophomore year to someone who has averaged two to three minutes a game in his last two seasons.

"This is where I was supposed to be for bigger reasons than even basketball. This was life changing for me."
TARIK BLACK senior basketball player
Black was supposed to lead his hometown team, the Memphis Tigers, back to the Final Four. To help Josh Pastner establish himself as an elite young coach and to continue onto a professional career long after his eligibility ended.
Tarik Black was not supposed to play his last home game in Allen Fieldhouse. He was not supposed to have a Masters degree from the University of Kansas. He was never supposed to land in Lawrence.
This is not how Black saw his life turning out. And he's happier that way.
"This is where I was supposed to be for bigger reasons than even basketball," Black said of his transfer to Kansas. "This was life changing for me."
Not even his second chance went according to plan.
When Black decided to play his last year of college basketball in Lawrence it was to give himself an opportunity to play big minutes on the game's biggest stage with a chance to play for bigger stakes.
Way back at the start of the season, Kansas coach Bill Self announced that Black could play as much as possible. That he would be relied on from the start.
"Not very often do you recruit a senior that's already started three years," Self said at Kansas' media day. "And have him come in and be as well respected and basically be the leader of our big guys already."
Black was expected to come in and mentor Joel Embiid. Midway through the non-conference schedule he lost his starting spot to

“it's been great being reunited with my dad and my whole family. He's done a lot to help me with my game.”
NIKO ROBERTS senior basketball player
ine New York native didn't play much as a Jayhawk, only averaging two minutes per game in his career. Roberts was known to cheer and motivate the rest of the team on, and he was happy with that role.
Roberts thought his time at Kansas has been really fun, but has gone by really fast. He said he will miss the brotherhood of teammates the most. A lot of things people don't see are the team hangouts in the locker rooms and dorms, and the team joking around.
For senior guard Niko Roberts, the Jayhawks have always equaled family.
"I love my teammates so much, I just want to see them all succeed." Roberts said about his role as a team cheerleader. "Every time they score and every time they do anything I'm truly happy for them."
"It's something I'll remember forever," Rob erts said about his time at Kansas.
Niko's dad, Norm Roberts, is one of the basketball assistants and first worked with Bill Self in 1996 at Oral Roberts and has worked with him for 12 years. Self has known Niko the longest out of everyone on the team and has always seen Niko as family. Self said he spanked Niko a couple of times when Self use to babysit.
"I got a couple of beatings; I'm not going to lie," Roberts said about Self spanking him.
Roberts coming to Kansas to play basketball allowed him to spend time with his father.
"it's been great being reunited with my dad and my whole family," Roberts said. "He's done a lot to help me with my game."

THE MORNING BREW
Tarik Black should be satisfied with his year at Kansas
While many college basketball seniors are being honored throughout the week, Tarik Black, Niko Roberts and Justin Wesley will be honored and will have a chance to give a speech at one of the most historic venues in college basketball.
Whether it is Justin Wesley, a redshirt senior who has been with the team for five years, or Tarik Black, a transfer who has played just one season with Kansas, these players are forever Jayhawks. From coaching to playing at Allen Fieldhouse, these three seniors experienced something no other senior across the nation can ever experience.
For Black, he knew he had to make the most of his sole season at Kansas. He admits that this season went by faster than any basketball season he's ever played. But in his one year with the Jayhawks, Black said he learned a lot about basketball, and himself.
By Farzin Vousoughian
sports@kansan.com
"I was meant to be here," Black said during Tuesday's press conference. "I
am blessed to be here and I'm glad I came here."
For many transfer players,it can take time for them to adjust and get acclimated to a new place and a new style of coaching. But that was never the case with Black.
The most impressive part about Black is his senior leadership, which made an immediate impact on the team. Despite being here for one season, his teammates benefitted from his presence and even learned something from him.
Prior to the start of the regular season, Joel Embiid was highly hyped as a freshman. But it was Black who
showed Embid the ropes and helped him to develop into a star-studded center. Although Black will fill in for Embiid for the remainder of the regular season due to injury, it was originally Black who started at center and helped Embid eventually start in Black's spot.
"I'll remember him being an unbelievable teammate
and a great leader and certainly a guy that has impacted our ability to win," said coach Bill Self. "He's got something about him that I think every kid years for. He's always trying to make others better."
Niko Roberts and Justin Wesley haven't made a big impact on the hard floor. However, senior leadership goes beyond getting minutes and dominating statistically.
THE BREW
Roberts, touted by Self as a "great ambassador," is a player who has been helpful from a scout team standpoint.
As for Wesley, his minutes have declined in his three years with the team. But Wesley accepted that role because he knew it would better the team, and it goes a long way.
"All
be honest, in my personal happiness because I've enjoyed being around all of them."
"I think that all three have played a role in how good we've been." Self said. three have played a role, to
No matter the result or how far Kansas makes it into the NCAA tournament, the University of Kansas will have a special place in the hearts of all the college basketball seniors who have come and gone here. Black, Roberts and Wesley are now part of that fraternity as forever Jayhawks.

Jayhawks look to improve from weekend loss in last home game against Texas Tech KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH MAR. 5, 7 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
T
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks have already won the Big 12 Conference outright this season. This game will serve as stress relief from the Oklahoma State loss. This is the last game for seniors Tarik Black, Justin Wesley and Niko Roberts, and a farewell to underclassmen that will leave school for the NBA.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Andrew Wiggins
Wednesday will most likely be the last game for Andrew Wiggins in Allen Fieldhouse. Wiggins has averaged 14 points at the Fieldhouse and will go out with a bang. Wiggins scored 19 points against Tech on Feb. 18.
BABY WASHINGTON
QUESTION MARKS
Can Tarik Black replace Joel Embiid without skipping a beat?
Black replaced Embiid on Feb. 15 against TCU due to an Embiid injury. Black scored seven points and grabbed one rebound against TCU. Those aren't eye-popping numbers that will make the Jayhawks not miss Embiid. Black needs to step in all areas to help the Jayhawks succeed without Embiid.
BY THE NUMBERS
5
The Jayhawks are shooting 49 percent from the field this season, which ranks fifth in the NCAA
69
Kansas' defense holds opposing offenses to 69 points per game
3 The Jayhawks have three of their seven losses when Joel Embiid isn't in the starting lineup
3
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
The Jayhawks can hold Texas Tech to under 50 percent from 3-point range. On Feb. 18, Kansas allowed the Red Raiders to shoot 6-12 from beyond the arc and the Jayhawks needed a last second tip-in by Wiggins to win the game. If Kansas can play tough perimeter defense on Texas Tech, the Jayhawks will have a better shot of blowing the Red Raiders out.
No. 8 KANSAS (22-7,13-3 Big 12)
STARTERS
JOHN ROBINSON
This season, Tharpe struggled with turnovers and inconsistency in his offensive game. After scoring 19 points and five assists with only one turnover against Oklahoma on Feb. 24, Tharpe scored six points and committed six turnovers against Oklahoma State on Saturday. It seemed as though Tharpe injured his left hand against Oklahoma State and had an off-shoot night due to the injury. Coach Soil said Tharpe will be fine and play against Texas Tech.
Naadir Tharpe, guard
★★★☆☆
Wayne Selden Jr., guard
PETER KINGTON
Recently, Selden has been the most versatile player on the Kansas team. When defenders face guard him, Selden takes the ball to the rim. When defenders guard him loose, he has the ability to hit the long-range jump shot. Even though Selden took six 3-pointers and only hit two of them, all six 3-pointers were open looks. Selden has settled down in the Jayhawks' offense and doesn't force many shots
★★★★☆
TEXAS TECH (13-16,5-11 Big 12)
M. B. WILSON
Andrew Wiggins, guard
The last time Wiggins played Texas Tech, he scored 19 points and had the game-winning tip-in. Wiggins hasn't scored under ten points in eight consecutive games despite his 3-point shooting woes. Since Feb. 4, he has shot 9-32 from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Wiggins managed to lead the team in scoring with 16.3 points per game and was the best on-ball defender.
★★★★★
SHAWN C. MORGAN
Perry Ellis, forward
Ellis will see more offensive opportunities with Embiid on the bench. When Embiid sat out against TCU on Feb. 15, Ellis scored 32 points on 13-15 shooting from the field and 2-2 shooting from 3-point range. Since Embiid's return to the lineup on Feb. 18, Ellis has averaged only 8.5 points per game, but Ellis has averaged 13 points per game for the season, second on the Jayhawks.
★★★☆
N.Y. STATE
Wednesday will be the first of two games that Black will start for the injured freshman Joel Embiid. Black usually provides solid minutes off the bench since Embiid emerged as the starter on Dec. 10. Since then, the senior has averaged 4 points.
Tarik Black, center
STARTERS
The team's leading scorer and rebounder is coming off a one-point performance against Baylor on Saturday. He is an efficient shooter and ranks third in the league in field goal percentage and fourth in free throw percentage. Crockett has combined for 15 points in his last three games and has only attempted two free throws.
★★★☆☆
Jave Crockett, forward
★★★☆☆
JASON RUBER
Deian Kravic, forward
A seven-footer, Kravic has averaged 10.5 points in his last two games—three above his season average. He is more of a presence of the defensive end and ranks eighth in the league averaging 1.3 blocks a game. The Canadian went 6-for-8 against Kansas on Feb. 18 and finished with 18 points.
★★☆☆☆
JOHN BROWN
Jordan Tolbert, Forward
Tolbert averages almost 11 points per game and has scored in double digits in four of his last five games. Like Crockett, Tolbert is an efficient scorer and has a 56-percent field goal percentage. He ranks second on the team in points and rebounds. His 16 points against Kansas two weeks ago rank as his second-highest scoring performance in conference play.
★★★★☆
PETER J. WELLS
Robert Turner,guard
Turner leads the Red Raiders in assists and steals. His 1.4 steals per game rank as the third best in the conference. He has been the most successful in conference play when he can get to the free throw line, except he has struggled lately and missed his last six attempts. He went 6-for-8 against Baylor on Saturday and scored 12 points.
★★★☆☆
PETER H. KUBEK
TTU TIPOFF
Toddrick Gotcher, guard
The only underclassman in the starting lineup, Gotcher didn't attempt a field goal in his first meeting with the Jahwahars and missed all four of his free throw attempts. The sophomore's best games of the season have come inside United Spirit Arena including two 17-point performances in conference play.
★★☆☆☆
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com
AT A GLANCE
One of the biggest surprises in the conference this season, the Red Raiders have proven they are capable of competing with the best teams in the league. While Texas Tech will likely not make the NCAA Tournament, it can still play the role of spoiler. Four of the five starters are upperclassmen and veteran coach Tubby Smith gives the club many years of experience.
PLAYER TO WATCH
PETER CLEVERY
Jaye Crockett
Jaye Gruffner He is coming off a one-point performance and has been in a recent slump having not scored in double-digits in his last three games. He can't continue this slump against Kansas or the Red Raiders won't be able to keep up
the scoring pace.
QUESTION MARKS
Will Dejan Kravic take advantage of Joel Embiid's absence?
Kravic had one of his best conference games against Kansas in the teams' first meeting. It should come a little easier without the seven-footer in the paint.

Kansas has more than 15 turnovers. The Jayhawks committed 22 turnovers against the Cowboys on Saturday, a large reason for surrendering a 10-point lead midway through the second half. They need to clean this up before the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments in order to avoid an early exit.

Jayhawks end regular season with loss to WVU
KYLE PAPPAS
sports@kansan.com
It was just too perfect. Looking to secure at least a share of its first conference title since 1992, West Virginia was at home, celebrating senior night and taking on a Kansas team that had dropped its past four contests.
So it was really no surprise when Kansas walked off the court in WVU Coliseum to the Mountaineers' mascot firing his musket in the air and John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" blaring from the loudspeakers following its 60-67 defeat.
As has been the case much of the season, Kansas forward Chelsea Gardner's usual role was compromised by foul trouble. After picking up an early two, the junior from DeSoto, Texas, spent the final 16 minutes of the first half on the bench. Junior forward Bunny Williams grabbed seven rebounds in place of Gardner, but there was simply no replacing her presence in the post.
Senior guard CeCe Harper and junior guard Natalie Knight carried the load offensively for Kansas in the first half. Harper played strong driving hard to the basket and regularly creating plays off the ball.She took advantage of
several mismatches in transition, but also maintained the awareness to slow things down when needed. She finished the half with nine points and four assists.
Knight has been inclined to step up in Gardner's absences throughout the year and Tuesday night was no different. She hit four of her seven attempts — including a couple big threes — to keep the Jayhawks close every time the Mountaineers appeared to be staging a run. She led all players with 10 first half points.
Still, Kansas was unable to take advantage of a seven-minute scoreleast streak by West Virginia midway through the first. The Mountaineers were abysmal, missing 11 straight shots and throwing up a few airballs during the stretch. But the Jayhawks only managed to gain a three-point lead and would eventually head into halftime trailing 28-32.
Things would only continue to get worse for Kansas in the second. Plagued by fouls and turnovers — they finished with 17 — West Virginia began to build on its already comfortable lead. It stretched to as many as 13 during a dominating second half performance.
in the second as well; a quick foul sent her back to the bench with three on the night. Harper was the only Jayhawk contributing much on offense, but peppered in several unforced errors to go along with her 10 second half points.
Gardner was a non-factor
Kansas pulled within five with just under two minutes remaining, but was never a legitimate threat to the Mountaineers' title hopes. Kansas sullenly walked into the locker room as the final buzzer sounded; West Virginia celebrated at midcourt and brought out the scissors for the inevitable cutting of the net.
It was the final game of the regular season for a Jayhawks squad that has certainly seen its share of ups and downs this year. They conclude Big 12 play at 5-13, tied with Kansas State for eighth in the conference. Losers of five straight games heading into this weekend's conference tournament in Oklahoma City, it's clear that something must change before then.
The Jayhawks finish the regular season at 12-18 overall and will need to run the table from here to receive a NCAA tournament invite.

Columbus climbed into a tie for seventh with the Rangers in the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets have won three in a row and are vying for only their second postseason appearance since joining the league in 2000.
Columbus scored on the first shot of the game and bolted to a 3-0 first-period lead on goals by Boone Jenner,'R.J. Umberger and Anisimov against backup Dan Ellis.

The Blue Jackets benefited from one stick-handling club after another by Dallas' defensive corps to easily pull ahead in the first period.
Skating into the Dallas zone with speed, Jenner sent a long snap shot from the left circle into the far corner above Ellis' outstretched glove for his 11th.

Some important transitions occurred before college, too.
"He'll give the effort and everything that he needs to in practice to push those guys on a daily basis," Brakel said.
After middle school, Wesley's mother Charlene Taylor remarried and moved the family from his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas to Houston. He excelled at Klein Collins High School, where he was named to the All-District
team his sophomore and junior year.
But before Wesley's senior year of high school, a hurricane blew a tree through his house, forcing Wesley to move back home and live with his aunt in Fort Worth. He played his senior season under the guidance of Brakel at North Crowley High School, a school that has produced more than 20 Division I basketball players.
"He's in the upper uplosion of all those great players." Brakel said. "He's a great team player."

"The transition was very easy," Black said. "A year is a long time to see each other every day. Those bonds are going to be formed whether you like it or not. Those will be my brothers for life."
And as the bonds grew, Black found his place on the floor, too, fitting in with Jamari Traylor to cause chaos off the bench. He'll end the regular season as one of Kansas' most consistent players, averaging 4.3 points and three rebounds per game, although his most valuable traits can hardly be mea-

Sporting media day outlines season's goals

Back-to-back champions.
These four simple words are something every championship team strives for.
It's known to be one of the hardest things to do in sports.
Everyone in the league is gunning for you, because they know you are the best.
Sporting Kansas City looks to defend their MLS Cup title this season, along with many other things. Sporting has a lot on their schedule in the upcoming weeks.
"The hardest thing to do in sports is to repeat," midfielder Graham Zusi said. "We're coming into this season with a huge target on our backs."
The MLS Cup champions will be travelling to Seattle to take on the Sounders in their first game of the season. Every other team in the MLS will be looking to knock off Sporting and contend for the cup.
Zusi is one of three Sporting players that will be competing to make the US World Cup team as well. Midfielder and newly named Sporting captain Benny Feilhaber and defenseman Matt Besler are the other two players. Trying to make the US World Cup team is just one of the obstacles that Sporting will be facing in the upcoming weeks.
"We have a couple guys trying to make the US National Team," coach Peter
"The hardest thing to do in sports is to repeat. We're coming into this season with a huge target on our backs."
GRAHAM ZUSI SKC midfielder
Vermes said. "That's just a part of international soccer, it's a testament to our team that we have three guys going for a spot."
Sporting will host Cruz Azul from the Mexican Premier League in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals on March 12.
"An MLS team has never won the CCL before," defenseman Seth Sinovic said. "I think that this is the closest an
MLS team has been to being able to win one. We have a great, competitive squad."
Winning the CCL would be an incredible achievement for Sporting.
"It would mean a whole lot to me and the guys," Vermes said. "We are such a competitive group of guys and feel that we can compete on any level."
Sporting will certainly have a hard time repeating as MLS cup champions this season, but that is not all they are concerned about.
One of Sporting's major goals heading into this season is to not stay complacent. They need to come out with the same intensity they had last year in order to be successful.
"It shouldn't be that hard," Zusi said. "Our goals are to win as many games as possible. We want to win the Champions League, the Open Cup, the MLS Cup and after that win the Club Championship."

Michigan takes Big 10 title with 84-53 win at Illinois
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Michigan came to Illinois with a shot at sewing up its first outright Big Ten title since 1986.
One potential obstacle stood in the way: The Illini were riding a hot streak and had held four straight opponents under 50 points.
It turns out Illinois wasn't much of a problem.
Nik Stauskas scored 24 points, hitting a career-best seven 3 pointers. He said Michigan didn't want to share the championship with anybody, something it did in 2012.
Michigan (22-7, 14-3 Big Ten) buried Illinois with 16 3-pointers on the way to an 84-5 blowout Tuesday night

"We came with that mindset, this was our championship and we wanted to win it," he said.
"I haven't seen that in practice even." Beilein said. "We were really good today."
Dialed in or not, Michigan coach John Beilein said he didn't see that kind of shooting performance coming against the Illini (17-13, 6-11).
Michigan shot 70 percent from 3-point range and hit 29 of its 51 shots from the field. 56.9 percent.

The Illini had won three straight. The loss was their worst at home in the 51-year history of the arena formerly known as the Assembly Hall and now called the State Farm Center.
Michigan had the game in hand by halftime with a 52-30 lead. The Wolverines hit five straight 3-pointers midway through the half to break the game open. The 15-point run turned widened Michigan's 20-17 lead to a comfortable 32-17.

Finally, with four seconds left, the Canadian Stauskas waited for the inbound pass from Derrick Walton Jr.
As the clock wound down on the half, the Illini seemed determined to at least not let the Wolverines break 50.
Stauskas took the pass and, just ahead of the buzzer, launched yet another 3-pointer. It slipped through the net and he enjoyed a long, slow stare at the student section before heading to the locker room.

Horford said that even after the big win, the Wolverines didn't do much celebrating.
"Not really. We understand there are greater things ahead of us," he said.

No.2 Wichita State dominates Valley awards

Wichita State's Chadrack Lufile (0) celebrates getting fouled by Missouri State's Devon Thomas, at center right with the ball, with teammates Cleanthony Early, middle and Nick Wiggins during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Wichita, Saturday, March 1.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Wichita State was just about as dominant in the Missouri Valley's postseason awards Thursday as the unbeaten Shockers were in running roughshod through the league schedule.
Fred VanVleet beat out teammates Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker for the conference player of the year award, the first time that a school swept the top three spots. VanVleet received 22 of a possible 36 votes cast by coaches, athletic department officials and the media.
All three of them were voted first-team all-conference, while the Shockers' Tekele Cotton made the second team and was voted the league's defensive player of the year.
"We're happy for these accolades and these awards, and it's a great accomplishment," VanVleet said, "but with this week coming up, we know we have a lot of work to do, and these awards won't mean anything if we don't take care of business and finish the way we want to finish out."
The Shockers (31-0, 18-0) are the top seed and have a firstround bye in the Missouri Valley tournament, which starts Thursday. Wichita State hasn't won the tournament since 1987.
VanVleet joins Doug McDermott of Creighton as the only sophomores to win the player of the year award, named for former Indiana State star Larry Bird. VanVleet also the fourth player from Wichita State to win the award, joining Antoine Carr, Xavier McDaniel and Paul Miller.
"It's really amazing, and J
can't really put it into words right now," said VanVleet, who was "90 percent sure" that one of the Shockers would win it. "That's pretty good company to be in, and if that's any indication for the future, I'm pretty excited about what lies ahead."
VanVleet, Early and Baker were joined on the all-conference first team by Evansville's D.J. Balentine, Jake Odum of
Indiana State and Seth Tuttle of Northern Iowa. There was a tie for the fifth vote-getter, which is why there were six members.
Cotton was joined on the second team by Jarmar Gulley of Missouri State, Walt Lemon Jr. of Bradley and Anthony Beane and Desmar Jackson of Southern Illinois.
Milton Doyle of league newcomer Loyola of Chicago was voted the top freshman and top newcomer, the seventh time a player has swept both awards. The last to do it was McDermott in 2011.
"It means a lot," Doyle said on a conference call. "It means I've had a good year so far, played well, but it would mean a lot more to go to the Valley tournament and do well."
The Shockers, at 31-0 are the first team to enter their league tournament unbeaten since Saint Joseph's in 2004, have plenty to play for in Saint Louis this week. If they run the table, they're virtually assured of having a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
"They know it's possible to lose to these teams," Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said. "We played these teams twice and the way you go 31-0 is you have a healthy respect for your opponent, and you know if you don't play well against them, you can lose."
Wichita State will play the winner of a first-round game between Drake and Evansville.

Once-calm witness cries at Pistorius murder trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRETORIA, South Africa For two days, the witness in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius kept her composure. Then, just as her testimony was about to finish, she broke down in tears at what she said was the memory of the screams she heard on the night the double-amputee athlete fatally shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in his South African home.
Michelle Burger, a neighbor of Pistorius who took the stand on the second day of the trial, remained calm through intense questioning by the chief defense lawyer. In a final exchange with the lead prosecutor on Tuesday, however, emotion washed over her as she recalled what she described as the terrified screams of a woman early on Valentine's Day last year.
"When I'm in the shower, I relive her shouts," Burger said in an apparent reference to her trauma just after the shooting, when a police captain took her statement. When Gerrie Nel, the prosecutor, asked her about her emotions at the time, she said the experience
was "quite raw" and her voice broke.
Nel asked her how she was coping now.
I m coping fine," Burge, insisted. "It's been a year."
Burger testified that she heard a man and a woman shouting, then the sound of four gunshots. She said the woman's screams continued during the gunshots and quickly faded away after the final one. She was the first witness called by the prosecution, which contends that Pistorius intentionally killed Steenkamp after a loud argument.
Her testimony contradicts Pistorius' account. He says he fired four times through the toilet cubicle door, hitting Steenkamp three times in the head, arm and hip or side area after thinking she was a dangerous intruder. He has pleaded not guilty.
The defense contends that Burger may have been asleep when the gunshots were fired, and then mistakenly thought she was hearing gunfire when in fact it was the sound of Pistorius breaking the toilet cubicle door with a cricket bat after realizing he had shot his girlfriend.
During cross-examination of Burger, chief defense lawyer Barry Roux suggested that she was mistaken in saying that she heard a woman screaming and that it was actually Pistorius shouting for help in a high voice after accidentally shooting Steenkamp.
Roux said Steenkamp was shot in the head, which would have resulted in brain damage and "no cognitive function" and so she wouldn't have been able to scream just after the last bullet struck, as Burger testified.
Burger disagreed. "I heard her voice just after the last shot," she said. "It faded away."
Her husband, Charl Johnson, also testified that "the last scream faded moments after the last gunshot was fired."
Burger also said that the man she heard — before the sound of the gunfire — was calling for help, a piece of testimony that muddied the prosecution's narrative that Pistorius was the aggressor. Burger speculated that perhaps the voice was that of Pistorius ridiculing Steenkamp's calls for help. "Was it a mockery? I don't know. I'm not Mr. Pistorius," she said.
Oscar Pistorius, on the second day of his trial in Pretoria, South Africa, Tuesday, March 4. Pistorius is charged with murder for the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day 2013.

Five things to know about Iditarod's furry athletes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — One human wins the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race each year, but it's the smaller, furry athletes that do the heroes' share of the work crossing nearly 1,000 miles of merciless terrain to reach the finish line on Alaska's wind-battered coast.
The 2014 race, which began Sunday, is still in the early stages, with jockeying for the lead remaining fluid until all the mushers begin taking a mandatory, 24-hour layover and two eight-hour rests. Sixty-nine mushers began the race, though several already have dropped out.
On Tuesday, Iditarod veteran Sonny Lindner was the first to leave the Nikolai checkpoint, more than 700 miles from the finish line in the old gold rush town of Nome. Participants say this year's trail conditions are grueling, including stretches of bare ground. Throughout the race, muskers will keep a close eye on their dogs.
Here are some other key things to know about the four-legged competitors:
IT TAKES A TEAM Mushers must have 12 to 16
dogs at the starting line. They must have at least six of those dogs to finish the race. If they don't have enough dogs at the end, too bad. Race rules say no new dogs can be added on the trail.
YOUTH VS. WISDOM
Oh, to have the metabolism of an Iditarod dog. These are not huge animals, generally ranging from 35 to 55 pounds. Yet each sled dog burns through at least 10,000 calories on the trail, continually snacking besides the three squares a day.
Most Ilditarod dogs range in age from 2 to 7, but some dogs as young as $1\frac{1}{2}$ and older than 9 have participated. With a good mix of ages, mushers get frisky youngsters and seasoned veterans. It's the older dogs that have come to memorize the trail. "Like, once a guy's been in the NBA finals, he knows it," race marshal Mark Nordman said.
SUPER CALORIE BURNERS
CANINE TRAIL MIX
The Iditarod diet used to be heavy on meat and fish, with some kibble thrown in. But the past decade has seen a reversal. Where it was once a combination of about 30 percent commercial dog food and 70 percent meat and fish, it's now the opposite for many teams, thanks to the development of increasingly high-quality commercial dog food. "It's why the pet industry has enjoyed the race so much, because they learn so much from the dogs that they can pass it on to the general community of pets," Nordman said.
DOG TEAM VITALS
Some dogs still die during the race, including a dropped dog that died of asphyxiation at a checkpoint last year after it was covered by snow from a severe storm. But dog deaths — slammed by animal rights activists over the years — have dramatically declined. Last year's death was the first since 2009. Dog care is a huge focus, with an average of six veterinarians assigned to each checkpoint to assess the animals' health through such indicators as heart rate, hydration and appetite. Warning signs vets look for include off-kilter gaits and attitudes.

Senate approves SUA fee cut amendment
MELISSA KOONTZ/KANSAN
Mark Savoy, student senator and law student representative, speaks in the Union Wednesday, March 5. Student Union Activities presented an amendment to its proposed student fee cut.
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
Student Union Activities presented an amendment in front of Student Senate Wednesday to maintain the current $5 Activities fee instead of the proposed 50 cent cut to $4.50. This fee amendment would bring no change during the current year, but the amendment was accepted for next year.
Senate has voiced its concerns that SUA should participate in more multicultural, academic events as opposed to the social events that SUA hosts. Tyler Childress, senate chief of staff, said one of the concerns regarding SUA is the number of educational and multicultural events being presented as part of the total event planning.
According to the information presented by SUA at the Senate meeting on Wednesday, the SUA hosted a total of 37 academic and cultural events in the academic year of 2012-13.

Dylan Fehl, the spirit committee assistant coordinator for SUA, said that he was pleased with the 50 cent raise in the SUA student fee.

Committee fails conduct code draft, continues discussion
The recently proposed student conduct code by the Office of Student Affairs unanimously failed at the Student Rights Committee meeting Wednesday. The cde proposed a change in jurisdiction to include off-campus activity and the reformatting of the document.
"We need to make sure that student freedoms are being held," said Student Rights Committee member Natalie Parker.
the code was reformatted based on four major values: respect, integrity, responsibility and community, which intended to make it easier for students to understand.
"Our code just read 1970s on it and the world has changed since the 1970s," said Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost of student affairs. "It's written in language that I think should be clear to any undergraduate student that KU has admitted, where to be honest sometimes the language we currently operate under, I'm not sure all students really understand that."
However, some members of the committee felt that it could lead to something being overlooked. There was also concern about how the language of the proposed draft seemed to shift away from outlining the rights and responsibilities of students.
"The proposed conduct code focused more on the philosophy of the University of Kansas community and was not as specific on what rights were afforded to students." committee member junior Zach George said.
"if it's not broken, why fix it?" George said. "There's no testimony that says there are problems with the current code."
Previous revisions, which are done every two years, have been smaller amendments to the original code, offering more transparency. Many committee members believed that this revision should follow that format as well.
The Student Rights Committee will recommend the final draft to Student Senate after its meeting March 26.

A resolution urging the athletics department to fund women's and non-revenue sports is slated for voting in next week's full Student Senate meeting.
The resolution was amended last night to update and strengthen the phrasing, after it was referred back to the University Affairs Committee last week.
"I feel it was necessary to explore this from all angles and come fully prepared with language that reflects the needs of our student body," said Garrett Farlow, a University Affairs associate and freshman from Tecumseh.
Proposed resolution to eliminate the women's and non-revenue fee
The new language emphasized the importance of federal Title IX compliance and respect for student athletes; however, it stated the $25 fee inflicted on students is unjust.
The fee that totals $1 million annually is collected by the
athletics department to offset travel expenses for women's and non-revenue sports.
If passed next week, the resolution will be sent to the following: Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, Kansas Board of Regents, Kansas Athletics, Public Affairs and the Provost.
The resolution supported the decision made by the Student Senate Fee Review Committee that proposed to eliminate the student fee and encourage the athletic department to look elsewhere for funding.
Previous Senate discussions have raised the question as to why the money must come from students' pockets as opposed to the athletics department that rakes in a multi-million dollar revenue.
"We think they have sufficient funds to be paying this already," said Emma Halling, student body vice president.

Gender pay gap stems from social norms
MADDIE FARBER news@kansan.com
During President Barack Obama's 2014 State of the Union address, the president said that women make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns.
At the University, there is an average difference of $9,000 between the salaries of male and female professors, according to the 2012-2013 American Association of University Professors Faculty Compensation Survey.
"Equal pay for equal work is not the issue," Albrecht said. "We would be better off to talk about another concept, which
At first glance, it seems to present an issue of pay inequality. But according to Sandra Albrecht, an associate professor of sociology who specializes in the areas of sociology of work and gender, the difference doesn't necessarily imply pay discrimination; it may instead reflect a different concern.
is equal pay for equal value."
Albrecht explained that the division in America's labor force not only stems from long-standing social constructions of gender roles, but also ties into differences in how professional labor is valued. She said that if the labor force were less divided as a result of social norms, it could push women into higher-paying jobs. This would make some of the problems with devaluation and unequal numbers disappear.
"I don't think we have a pay issue between males and females at the University" Albrecht said. "The real problem is that we often devalue the jobs that women have historically gone into. When women break out of those jobs and go into historically male positions, the salary of that occupation goes down. It is a reflection of the general devaluing of women in our society."
University administration
says pay inequality is not a problem here.
"There are no inequities based upon race or gender," said Mary Lee Hummert, vice provost for faculty development. "The University as a whole has a non-discrimination policy. Disciplinary differences affect
"We are very conscious of the need to ensure pay equality."
MARY LEE HUMMERT Vice provost for faculty development
salaries. Women and men at comparable levels in their career are paid similarly."
Hummert said this does not explain why there is a difference between salaries of male and female professors.
A salary increase for individual professors is based on titles such as distinguished,
associate or full professor, Hummert explained. Merit of every faculty member is evaluated annually within each department at the University, which is based on research teaching and service.
However, these are only some of the factors that account for the differences.
"Part of what we see in the data shows the relative number between men and women," Hummert said. "It reflects the discipline between higher and lower salaries. Overall, men are overrepresented in higher paying parts of the University, and women are overrepresented in lower paying parts of the University." According to 2012 data from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, only 14.7 percent of professors in the engineering department are women, compared to the 40 percent of female professors in the department of social and behavioral sciences.
Hummert
University is hiring to increase the number of female faculty.
"If we are successful at attaining more women faculty across the University, the salary differences will become less noticeable and will work towards equalizing the [pay] differences between men and women," Hummert said.
Preliminary data collected by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning continues to show differences between men and women at the University. As of 2014, there were 38 newly hired men, compared to 28 newly hired women.
"We are very conscious of the need to ensure pay equality." Hummert said. "We study faculty salaries and are looking at all of the staff and job classifications. We look nationally at what salaries are and bring people who seem underpaid up to a reasonable salary."

Pocket libraries give easy access to books
TERRI HARVEY news@kansan.com
news@kansan.com
10374912125267
The idea of pocket libraries began with a national community movement that offers free books housed in small containers called the Little Free Library. The pocket libraries will be popping up all over Lawrence by late spring or early summer.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Matthew Burke and his group construct a pocket library, one of 25 that will be available to Lawrence residents.
Pocket libraries can come in many shapes and sizes, but Matthew Burke's group made all 25 rather standard. They are built in the style of a large bird house, roughly three times the size of a mail box with doors hinged to the front. They are meant to be placed in community members' front yards so they are easily accessible for all.
"The idea is that it's a 'take a book, leave a book' type of thing" Burke, an associate professor of sculpture, said. "They serve the book-reading public, and the books that go in reflect the taste of the people that own them, but of course the books will change over time as people put other things in."
Many students and Lawrence locals wanted to help with the project to feel like they were doing something to better Lawrence.
Brad Allen, the director of the Lawrence Public Library. "They wanted to do something that would benefit the library."
"I feel like I'm a part of taking these trees that were going to be unused and thrown away and recycling them into something usable for the community," said Kasey Stertz, a sculpture graduate student. "I really feel like a part of these libraries and the community."
"These guys came up with the idea to salvage the wood and create a literary project," said
KEY POINTS
Pocket libraries are small housings for books that are placed all over the city in community members' front lawns.
Matthew Burke, an associate sculpture professor, has worked with residents of the Lawrence community to create 25 pocket libraries to be placed around the city this upcoming spring and summer.
Fifteen of the pocket libraries will be auctioned off in the spring. The proceeds will go to the Lawrence Public Library.
This project began about two years ago when the Lawrence Public library had many trees cut down to make room for renovations.
Burke and others in Lawrence who were interested in the project decided that once the 25 libraries are finished they should be auctioned off to the people of Lawrence. The proceeds will go to a non-profit organization that supports the public library, Friends of the Library. Allen said that the money would most likely be used to fund library programs or to purchase supplies for children's programs through the library.
There are still opportunities for students and others to be part of the process. Though the pocket libraries are almost finished, they still need to be decorated. Burke said that all local residents are welcome to volunteer to decorate the finished libraries.
The pocket libraries give those who don't visit libraries frequently a chance to read books they wouldn't typically come across.
"I think any way we can get education out into the
world is a good thing." Stertz said. "Sometimes libraries are intimidating to people, so putting them out in the public and making them easily accessible is a way to bring it into the community."
The official date of the auction will be announced on the KU Art Twitter and Facebook accounts later this semester.

Crimson and True, the newest student coalition at the University brought together by two seniors, Garrett Wolfe and James McGowan, held its formation caucus last night at 9 p.m. in the Union. Crimson and True stated its mission is to promote diversity, ecological change and to improve Student Senate.
STUDENT SENATE Fourth coalition forms, holds caucus
The new coalition was formed, "Because we can. We do not agree with the two-party system. We need a voice and change needs to be done," McGowan said.
Wolfe and McGowan outlined the main points of their platform: Making gender-neutral restrooms, having non-denominational prayer spaces accessible for students at any time and increasing international student representation.
Crimson and True plans to meet again at 6 p.m. on Sunday, to choose its president and vice president nominees.
"Neither James nor I will be running for President or VP because we feel that it is very important it is run by other students with different voices," Wolfe said. "We are both seniors and need others to take a stand."

Depression can benefit creativity
HEALTH
I don't understand how people can go on with this façade. We are expected to run around with a smile on our faces that says that everything is okay, but the fact of the matter is that things are not okay. Not even a little.
By Nick Jackson
opinion@kansan.com
We live in a society of ubiquitous hate. Sometimes there is no bright side, there is no silver lining and there isn't a greater plan. Sometimes life is miserable, and if there is a God then it is quite possible that he hates us, but it's OK. No matter how hopeless life seems, one might spin depressing feelings into fuel that can actually help us become more than we ever thought possible. Life is all about balance and whether we find ourselves happy or sad we must not forget that there are benefits to both.
When I'm in a good mood I get self-centered. I worry about the things that I want and my own aspirations, instead of the larger picture. My dreams of being a superhero might be fading a bit as my childhood dreams are drifting into obscurity, but it doesn't change the fact that I still want to save the world. At times I just need a bout of sorrow to be reminded of that.
I would like to introduce the possibility that we are not as great as we think we are. Nobody is better than anyone else because we are all insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I imagine many of us have felt insignificant at one time or another. It's because we are. If I were to die tonight, 99.999 percent of the world's population would have no idea, but that's OK. It's empowering to think
of oneself as insignificant because you're more apt to find something larger than yourself.
Without a doubt the best part about bouts of depression is the creativity that comes along with it. Google, "sadness and creativity," and check out all of the legitimate scientific evidence suggesting a strong correlation between how awful one feels and the ability to create. In the words of Aristotle, "all atrabilious persons have remarkable gifts." All of that depression, the hurt and the emotional scars can be focused into something extraordinary. It's almost something to look forward to. I enjoy writing. I don't claim to be any good, but I find it enjoyable and without a doubt the things worth reading lay on a tear-soaked page.
The fact is that everyone has to live with these feelings that are difficult to manage. It is only through adapting to that negativity that we can cope, but more than that, I would argue that even at the worst of times we may thrive and always remember what Harvey Dent says in "The Dark Knight": "The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming."

Free time doesn't mean wasted time
By Garrett Fugate opinion@kansan.com
o matter i much we appear to value free time in American culture, I feel that we don't think it's meaningful. It's as if taking time to ourselves is something that people do when they have the privilege for leisure. It's not for people who have to study or work full time.
I've found that stories can be incredibly liberating for me, helping me explore new ideas and new ways of being in the world. For example, Yann Martel's book "The Life of Pi" helped me sort out my spirituality in more ways than Sunday school ever did. Pi's journey as a Hindu, Muslim and Christian gave me a language to think about deeper questions on what belief, prayer and faith are to me.
We think that reading a book is all about the comfy chair we curl up in rather than the words on the page, that it's about luxury and has nothing to do with things that matter. But whatever we do in our free time, whether it's reading a book, watching a movie, or writing, can be just as meaningful as anything else we do.
A movie that has impacted my life is Dee Rees" "Pariah." This brilliant coming of age story helped me get through a difficult
tume in my life when I also felt like a pariah, rejected by a faith community that had once embraced me. Rees' fictional heroine gave me strength when I thought I had none. She reminded me that a sense of integrity is far more important than the people who reject you.
Writing has also had a powerful influence in my life. My dad was the one who encouraged me to keep a journal and write stories. There were many times in my life where words created a far more meaningful space than the designs I made in my architecture studio classes. It was one place I could reflect on my experiences and think about who I am and who I want to be.
While American culture seems to value personal time, I feel that generally the message actually reads: "Important but not meaningful." Does it really need be said that whatever we do in our personal time is meaningful to us?
I think poet and social activist Audre Lorde
draws a nice parallel to my thinking about personal time being important and meaningful. Reflecting upon her writing, she insists that "poetry is not a luxury."
I'm not suggesting that every time we put pen to paper for reasons other than a class assignment it is immediately going to create social change as large as Audre Lorde's life's work. What I mean to say is, what we do in our free time should be allowed to be just as important as our occupied time.
And to be sure, "free" doesn't mean meaningless. Just because we are doing something that we aren't paid to do, or that it has nothing to do with school, doesn't mean that something is not important to ourselves or to the social change it might create in the world around us.
Words, whether in poetry, books, movies, stories, writing or even a prayer, are absolutely necessary for survival because without them, our ideas, experiences and feelings are silent, and if they remain silent, we deprive ourselves of the possibility of them transforming our lives and the lives of others.

Jayhawk men's basketball tweets are better than ever
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
SOCIAL MEDIA
The 2013-2014 KU men's basketball season left us @FakeJeffWithey-less, and yes, there may have been a void in our hearts, but the Twitter feed was anything but lacking in creativity during this basketball season.
For whatever reason you may have missed the games, students' Twitter accounts kept fans up to date on just about everything there was to know about basketball games. From controversial referee calls and five-star plays, to shamelessly poking fun at shamelessly playing players, students used their Twitter accounts to say anything they could about the game in 140 characters.
Although there may only be those 140 characters of free speech to tweet, the endless opinions and clever comments about the game on news feeds made us feel more like a team. The @FakeJeffWithey account may have said goodbye to its fans, but accounts like @YABOYSELF and @Allenfieldhaus filled its place with colorful and witty tweets, and the @FakeAndrewWiggins account gained a following.
Al Barbosa, a senior from Leawood, said he always checks Twitter during the
"Between following SportsCenter and many KU fans, I can easily figure out what is going on in the game."
Red Lyon Tavern
"Even if you're already watching the game with a bunch of people, it feels like you're watching it with a lot more on Twitter," Barbosa said. Barbosa is known by friends and Twitter followers as someone who adds some comedy to the Twitternsphere during games.
"I've always been the kind of guy who likes messing around and cracking jokes about the opposing team," Barbosa said. "Even if I'm not watching the game with a bunch of people, I can still talk a little smack and hopefully make a few people laugh."
ANNA KORROCH
Wichita freshman
Anna Korroch, a freshman from Wichita, says she thinks Twitter is a perfect way to keep yourself updated during the games.

Barbosa and Korroch are not the only ones who feel the need to tweet during sporting events. In 2011, Twitter released its "tweets per second" rankings. This ranking orders the events or subjects that produced the most tweets per second during the year. Tweets about sporting events comprised six of the top 16 events in 2011, and in the 2013 rankings, March Madness reigned as a star topic during last year's tournament.
As this year's March Madness approaches, the Twitter feed will be painted with basketball. Students are not only hoping for big things from our team on the court, but are expecting big things in the Twitter world as well. There may only be enough seats in Allen Fieldhouse for 16,300 students and your house or dorm room may only fit as many as you can stuff, but with Twitter, we all get to sing the Rock Chalk Chant together.

Celebrity crushes go beyond appearances
ANDREW HOSKINS
entertain@kansan.com
+
Celebrities often seem like unreachable, impossibly beautiful super-beings. If you ask around, it seems like almost everybody has a crush on at least one. This concept sparks a commonly asked question that frequently triggers debates on campus: Who is your celebrity crush?
This surface-level concept may go a bit deeper than mere attraction to celebrities' looks. When carefully picked apart, it can cause new questions to arise: Are we attracted to celebrities in the same way that we're attracted to our significant others or peers? When we have a seemingly endless selection of near-perfect people to have crushes on, do we pick based solely off looks, or does the attraction ever go deeper?
DeSoto freshman Lars Erickson said he feels a connection to his celebrity crush, Anna Kendrick, mostly because of her voice and laid back style.
"Her voice is like an angelic wind whispering through my heart," Erickson said. "I follow her on Twitter and her posts excite my heart. They show she has a unique personality. She has 2 million followers but she's not afraid to show her goofy side."
Relationship counselors Linda and Charlie Bloom wrote in a February 2013 Psychology Today article that, beyond looks, attraction is based around a person's "capacity to bring more healing, passion, peace, exuberance, ease, fulfillment or joy into our life." The article goes on to claim that the vast majority of people enter adulthood with a sense of emotional insufficiency and a diminished sense of self. People often enter relationships with people they feel will fill these voids and provide emotional fulfillment to their lives. Professor and Director of KU Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Dr. Elizabeth Penick said a celebrity crush may stem from a similar need.
"If that uniquely melded image [celebrity looks and personal] touches some sort of longing or desire or lack in the individual, then a crush is formed." Penick said.
The thought of celebrity crushes filling some emotional void is not necessarily the all-encompassing rule. For Austin Haugh, a senior from Olathe, his crush on Mila Kunis stemmed from looks, but also from being impressed by her acting resume.
"She's had a variety of roles, from TV shows like that "That '70s Show' to Hollywood movies,"
Despite the existence of people's non-shallow feelings for their celebrity crushes, looks play a very important role in the attraction process. According to a September 2013 Huffington Post article, physical attraction stems from a combination of factors, from symmetrical faces to the eye and hair color of your opposite-sex parent.
Haugh said. "I find it attractive that she's been able to make this jump and play such a variety of roles and bring both her humor and sincerity into them."
Emily Harsh, a senior from Topeka, said her attraction to James Marsden bloomed mostly from his looks.
"I could stare into his eyes all day." Harsh said.
Penick said she thinks celebrity crushes start with a basic attraction to looks, then allure to the celebrity's personality manifests.
"I would estimate that looks do play a primary role," Penick said. "After looks comes the persona that the celebrity is attempting to project, for example macho versus sensitive for men or provocatively sexy versus strong and virtuous for women. Then, the theory goes, the individual puts those two things together in his or her mind to form a uniquely melded image."

CAMPUS
Architecture students construct lecture hall
HALLIE HOLTON entertain@kansan.com
The front office of Marvin Hall has recently been blocked by the construction of an addition to the building. The students involved in this addition are part of a class called Studio 804, which is taken by fifth year architecture students who are building the project entitled The Forum.
"It will be a place of education and exhibition," Gaunt said
What the Studio 804 students are building this year is something Marvin Hall has been in need of for a while. The idea of The Forum is something Gaunt has had in mind for the past 10 years.
The dean of the School of Architecture, John C. Gaunt, said it is a unique opportunity that students within the school are building an addition for the school.
Currently architecture students have to go all around campus for their lecture classes. The Forum will be a lecture hall as well as a commons for the architecture school.
"It will be a place of education and exhibition."
JOHN C. GAUNT Dean of architecture school
“[The Forum] will really change the culture of our school” said Charles Linn, director of communications for the School of Architecture.
This new part of Marvin Hall will provide an opportunity for students within the architecture school to showcase their work, learn and grow from one another.
The completion date for this project is still uncertain due to complications with the weather.
The architecture program has a long tradition of "thinking and making" Gaunt said. The Forum is a continuation of that tradition, seeking to better the overall culture of the school.
Last year's Studio 804 students built the EcoHawks Research Facility that is located out on West Campus. For more information on The Forum and Studio 804, visit theforumku.info.

Nyong'o, Leto appear together at Prada show
Edited by Alec Weaver
PARIS — Upstaging a Louis Vuitton show is hard, but somehow Miuccia Prada managed it, thanks to Lupita Nvong'o and Jared Leto.
The Oscar winning pair — whose exact relationship is the subject of speculation
— were both invited by the Italian designer to attend her plastic-wrapped fall-winter Miu Miu show in Paris.
And if that wasn't enough attention-grabbing, Nyong'o had to move seats in order to fit a tardy Rihanna in the Miu Miu front row.
But the ghost of Marc Jacobs' Louis Vuitton past lurked.
Meanwhile, former Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquiere gave an admirable debut at Louis Vuitton attended by Princess Charlene of Monaco, Catherine Deneuve and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Here are details about the last day of the ready-to-wear shows.
LUPITA NYONG'O AND JARED
LETO ATTEND PRADA'S MIU MIU
Even before Jared Leto thanked "my future ex-wife Lupita" in a speech at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, there's been speculation that he and fellow supporting role Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o have been an item.
The "12 Years a Slave" actress has laughed it off — most notably on The Ellen Show — but has not denied it.
SHOW
Now, to further fan the flames, both stars were at Paris' Miu Miu show at the same time — and both nursing jet lag.
Nyongo, who said she "really liked the show," looked radiant in a clean Miu Miu jacket with an off-white sparkling embroidered collar.
But Leto wore shades and admitted he was exhausted.
"But it's the best kind of tired you could ever imagine," he said, avoiding comment on the relationship rumors.
MIU MIU'S SPORTY PLASTIC
WRAP
With a pinch of irony, Senora Prada wrapped the entire show venue — Paris' Environmental Council — in non-biodegradable plastic.
WRAP
It was full of young, fun and colorful suggestions on how to keep warm and dry during fall and winter.
Or waterproof sheer red hooker boots that somehow remained classy were mixed up with skiing shades and quilted pastel ski jackets.
Not all the looks worked, but there were some great black and white fur maxi coats.
See-through pale blue PVC skirts came alongside a bright yellow raincoat with sporty tassels.
Besides, you have to admire this iconic designer's talent. Who else could mix a classic pale yellow pleated silk skirt 1950s with a multicolored see-through anorak and still make it work?

MOVIE REVIEW
PAGE 7A
[Image of a battle scene with several soldiers in combat, each wielding a sword and shield. The background is a stormy sky with dark clouds and lightning flashes.]
Legendary Pictures
'300' sequel fails to live up to predecessor
"300: Rise of an Empire" isn't so much a comic book movie as it is a live-action comic book. Visually speaking, there is so much slow-motion, combined with stylized visual effects and backdrops, that it looks and feels more like a moving comic than a real film, significantly more so than the original "300." Another factor playing into that is how this sequel lacks much of the narrative and character gravitas from the first, so there's less to care about beyond how cool it looks.
When "300" was released seven years ago, its extraordinary visual style and extreme macho spirit were glorious to behold. Gerard Butler became an iconic movie hero as King Leonidas. Several of its now-famous lines became requisite entries in the popular lexicon and the whole film brought new meaning to the word badass.
Well, it's not new this time around. There's no thrilling lead performance, the odds aren't as insurmountably enthralling and the Greek soldiers are not the epitome of warriors like the Spartans. But, on the plus side, the villain is better, the action is primarily large-scale naval warfare — probably the most kickass sea battles I've ever seen – and the brutal violence seriously quenches your bloodthirst, even when it looks ridiculous.
taking place concurrently and after the battle of the first movie, "300: Rise of an Empire" follows Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he leads
By Alex Lamb
entertain@kansan.com
Greek forces against Xerxes' (Rodrigo Santoro) enormous Persian army, which is under the naval command of Artemisia (Eva Green). The strongest distinguishing trait from "300" is that now we watch the war fought on water, which brings a whole new dynamic to the action.
The first giant set piece details the beginning of the war, shown almost entirely in eye-popping slow motion. Striking slow-mo is so heavily used throughout the film that the images of charging soldiers, swords slashing and enemies being dismembered closely resembles panels of action in a comic book. The buckets of blood flying out from bodies are so over-the-top that they add to the comic aesthetic, cartoonizing the world a little bit. And the light is always glistening.
Xerxes gets a cool backstory transforming him into the imposing god-man, but he fades into the background as Artemisia takes the reigns as the active villain. Eva Green is one of the hottest women alive, and she takes full pleasure in her performance as the heartless baddie bitch. She slices off heads, seduces the hero into a rough and hateful sex scene and causes carnage with spiked armor and a sword in each hand -
super sexy, a little campy and wonderfully committed.
If only the Greek soldier characters were as fun as her. It makes sense for the story that they aren't as hoo-rah exciting as the Spartans, since they're not traditional soldiers, but they just don't have much personality. Stapleton is a serviceable leader, delivering a few convincing battle speeches and ferociously fighting in combat and against Artemisia, but outside of that he's pretty generic. The supporting soldiers fare worse.
But hot damn, the action and visual style are the centerpiece, and "300: Rise of an Empire" sure succeeds on that front. The strategic element of the naval warfare leads to some fantastic shots and set pieces, like ships smashing in half, ships bunching together to create a challenging battlefield and ships catching fire at sea. Just because this is a swords and sandals time period doesn't mean incredible explosions are out of the picture.
The intricate money shot of the movie comes during the climactic final battle, when Themistokles rides a horse from one ship to another, goring lots of Persians along the way, all in an extended sequence that's edited to look like a single shot. Like the rest of the film, it's awesome, silly, full of digital trickery, and so satisfying on a visceral action level that you aren't too bothered there isn't much substance behind it.

Small liquor stores fret about grocery store bill
ELISE REUTER
news@kansan.com
news@kansan.com
TOPEKA — Soon, Kansas residents may be able to purchase a bottle of wine with their groceries. In a hearing Wednesday, lawmakers discussed House Bill 2556, which would allow grocery and convenience stores to obtain liquor licenses.
The bill, which was originally proposed by Uncork Kansas, differs from previous attempts by instating a 10-year license freeze to help liquor store owners adjust to the new competition.
"The 10-year cap ultimately benefits the liquor store owner who would like to get out of the business," said Jessica Lucas of Uncork Kansas.
According to the bill, store owners wishing to sell liquor would have to purchase an existing license from a retailer in their county during the 10-year period. A slow phase-in would allow these stores to gradually begin selling alcoholic beverages. In 2017, stores could apply for a license to sell "strong" beer (with an alcohol content exceeding 3.2 percent), and in 2020 grocery and convenience stores could sell both beer and wine. By 2024, licenses for all types of alcohol will be available.
"Consumers ultimately win when there is competition in the marketplace and there are more places to buy products," Lucas said. "We're bleeding
a lot of money to Nebraska and Missouri when Kansans go there to buy alcohol and groceries at the same time."
While Lucas and other supporters of Uncork Kansas, including many convenience chains and grocery stores, say the compromise should help the bill pass, Lawrence liquor store owners are not satisfied with the deal. Those looking to keep their licenses and stay in the business were especially concerned about the addition of grocery stores to an industry that is already competitive.
"Consumers ultimately win when there is competition in the marketplace and there are more places to buy products."
JESSICA LUCAS
Uncork Kansas spokesperson
"It's said there's a monopoly in the state of Kansas; well, there's not," said Matt Easley of On the Rocks Discount Liquor. "Owners are limited to one liquor license. You have to really compete to gain business."
While a liquor store might have a larger selection of available brands, including beverages put out by local wineries and breweries, most convenience stores and standard grocers won't have the space dedicated to a large range of products. While this
gives larger wholesale liquor stores an advantage, smaller businesses will still feel the hit.
"I don't really like the idea of people I've known for many years losing their livelihood," said Jon Smiley, owner of Cork and Barrel. "This would affect businesses that are more convenience driven, and less selection and price driven. So if you're a small liquor store next to a grocery store, you're in trouble."
The biggest concern among the bill's opposition is the availability of alcohol for minors. If HB 2556 is passed, the age for selling alcohol would drop from 21 to 18. This poses some concerns for local law enforcement who already struggle to combat underage drinking.
"Alcohol is a regulated product; it's not a pair of shoes or a bag of potato chips." Easley said. "Liquor store owners have a vested interest in not selling alcohol to minors, but for grocery stores it's just another item."
Some of the bill's broad economic implications including employment and taxation-merit further discussion. The House Committee of Commerce, Labor and Economic Development will work on the bill Thursday, with possible action in the afternoon.

Bill would end restrictions on Kansas microbreweries
TOPEKA The Kansas House Committee on Commerce, Labor and EconomicDevelopmentheard testimony Wednesday on House Bill 2598, which would remove self-distribution and production restrictions from microbreweries.
EVAN DUNBAR
Under current law, a microbrewery is limited to producing 100 to 15,000 barrels of domestic beer in a license year. There are 31 gallons of beer in one barrel, which is equivalent to 330 12-ounce servings.
Current law restricts a liquor retailer to purchase only from a licensed distributor or confiscated liquor at a sheriff's sale. This bill would allow liquor retailers to purchase from a microbrewery or farm winery as well.
Jason Watkins, executive director of the Kansas beer wholesalers opposed the bill, saying that if it passed and microbreweries began self-distributing their products, the state would be forced to
allow manufacturers of all alcohol products, including out of state producers, to self-distribute.
"Not only would this make controlling, tracking, regulating and taxing alcohol nearly impossible, it would also create a playing field where only the largest alcohol interest could compete," Watkins said.
Watkins cited the five pillars of a "three-tier system" of Kansas alcohol production, distribution, sales and consumption laws, that he said "balance business needs and market growth with public health and safety concerns."
However proponent of the bill R.G. Johnson, owner of the High Noon Saloon in Leavenworth for more than 20 years, said the current
"It's a system that levels the playing field, encourages competition and allows the private sector to thrive and create local jobs," Watkins said. "If not for our (distributors) and the 'threeetery system,' there wouldn't be craft breweries in Kansas."
laws in place are restrictive in allowing microbreweries to enter the market.
"If I can simply service local accounts and it's a nice, clean operation, it can start to be prosperous."
"Many states allow microbrews to self-distribute, and their food service and beverage industry flourishes," Johnson said.
Johnson said if microbreweries like his were allowed to self-distribute, it would attract new workers and business to the market. He said that in five years he would create new jobs, estimating the number of employees to grow from 40 currently, to about 100 if he could self-distribute.
Final committee action on HB 2598 is scheduled for Thursday.

Controversy surrounds extra points in NFL
W
th the recent publicity of player concussions in the NFL, changes, such
as moving kickoff up 10 yards and allowing receivers more time to catch the ball, have been made to protect players.
This off-season player safety is still a concern for the NFL, but a different change to the game has sparked a heated debate among players and coaches.
That possible change is moving the extra point back.
According to the Sports Illustrated MMQB, the NFL competitions committee met and proposed a move that would send the line of scrimmage for a PAT to the 25-yard line, which would make it around a 42-yard extra point.
The arguments from coaches who want this change are simple: the extra point is no longer an appropriate or

competitive play in the NFL because of how easy it is to make. Statistics back up this opinion, as kickers in the past three seasons have made 99.5 percent of their PAT attempts.
In 1912, when the extra point was established, any player on the team from a quarterback to a defensive lineman could take the PAT.
Today's teams have two to three kickers with each one having the ability to make 100 of 100 extra points. Clearly something needs to be changed.
Just look at baseball, basketball and hockey: it's hard to find a crucial point being given away so freely like those in the NFL.
On Sundays in the NFL, there could be more than 10 games where a single
point matters, so shouldn't teams have to earn that point?
Even if commissioner Roger Goodell and all the coaches agree that it's in the NFL's best interest to make the PAT more challenging, the change still might not be made.
The reason for this lays with the owners.

If a proposal to change the extra point were to officially be made, then 24 out of 32 owners would need to agree in order for the proposal to pass.
agree in order for the pro to push According to some NFL insiders, owners don't see what's wrong with the status quo and aren't keen on changing something that's not broken. My question to them is: Are you crazy?
THE BREW
The PAT is outdated. It's broken.
If I said to all the owners,
"There's one play in a football game,
where no one gives a damn and changes the channel," they would ask how to fix that play.
And yet convincing the owners that a longer extra point is better still has to be done. It may take
a couple more years for this change to be made completely, but if owners want more people watching and attending games, then it's in their best interest to change the obsolete PAT of today into one that will bring more interest and excitement to the game in the future.

Jayhawks finally celebrate streak

Senior Tarik Black lays the ball over Dejan Kravic for two points. Black scored 19 points and grabbed six rebounds. After the game, Self said. "That's the most aggressive he's been all year."
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
One game after winning the Big 12 title outright, and two after locking up at least a share, the Kansas Jayhawks can finally celebrate.
This was the moment Kansas coach Bill Self was waiting for. A packed house of 16,300 fans screaming their heads off for a streak that's hard to comprehend.
The shirts came out from under the damn bus. The trophies came, too. All 10 of them lined up at center court with the newest addition perched up on its own table.
That No. 8 Kansas defeated Texas Tech 82-57 quickly became an afterthought. That the Jayhawks left Stillwater without enjoying the fact they stood alone atop the Big 12 was washed away.
"That's like celebrating your birthday after you got fired from your job," Self said. "Who wants to do that?"
So there were the Jayhawks, sitting in awe beneath enough hardware to require an addition to the Booth Hall of Fame, waiting for their eldest teammates to speak.
Self made them wait a little longer.
First he yelled at Andrew Wiggins to stand up, then Joel Embid and then Perry Ellis. The two freshmen aren't expected to return to Lawrence. Depending on what happens in the next few weeks, Ellis may not either.
If all holds true, the last basket Embiid will have scored at Allen Fieldhouse will have been a free throw with 46 seconds remaining against Oklahoma to lock up a share of the conference title.
Wiggins (9 points) went out much quieter, hitting only three of seven field goals.
"I enjoyed my time here," Wiggins said. "I can't ask for anything more."
The game reflected the reality: This team had nothing to lose but the athletes around it.
"To want anything more out of tonight would be ungrateful," Tarik Black said. "We won by almost 30. I played well. It was emotional."
In fact Black had the most efficient night of basketball in his career, going 9 for 9 from the field with 19 points, six rebounds and two blocks. He tied the Kansas record for made field goals without a miss.
He denied touches to open teammates and fought past double teams. At the beginning of the year, Black said he transferred to Kansas because he was impressed with Bill Self's system. Now he's taking full advantage of it.
Playing like a man who knew the end was near, Black made sure every time he touched the
ball he found a way to score.
"Things just started working," Black said. "Things just started functioning."
In the absence of Joel Embiid
In the absence of Joel Embidd — who sat out to rest an ailing back — Black calmed the nerves of coaches and fans, proving that he belonged in the starting lineup spot he was given at the start of the year.
What began with a recruiting text from Self that read, "Hey, Stud," now ends with the certainty that Black and his teammates will lock up a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
That is the thought each player tried to focus on after the game, worrying that if they allowed themselves a moment to reflect they might miss out on what's ahead.
"There's only one way," Naadir Tharpe (16 points, 5 assists) said of the season ending. "National Championship. That's why I came to this school."
So they listened to their seniors speak and waited to get the night over with.
For as long as Self held off on the celebration he made sure it was over in a hurry, justifying himself to the fans who wouldn't see their Jayhawks at home until next year.
"We've got a lot of work left to do." Self told the crowd. "It's time to get serious"

COMMENTARY
Despite senior night momentum lies in underclassmen
By Blair Sheade sports@kansan.com
With the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments right
around the corner, the one element Kansas needs on its side is momentum.
"We have one more month left, then the season is done," said senior forward Tarik Black.
On Wednesday, an 82-57 blowout against Texas Tech might have given the Jayhawks the boost they wanted to push through the postseason.
Junior guard Naadir Tharpe, who has recently struggled holding onto the ball, overcame his turnover woes and didn't commit one turnover against Texas Tech, setting the tempo Kansas needs.
Tharpe scored eight of his 16 points with three assists in the first half. He scored six points in 15 seconds with back-to-back 3-point plays.
Tharpe didn't force any passes, he looked in control of the game and he played with confidence. All signs that Tharpe could play some of the best basketball we've seen all season and Wednesday night could just be the start.
Tharpe's momentum toward the next part of the season ignited in the second half.
He went 2-2 from beyond the arc and 2-2 from the free-throw line, which means Tharpe had a perfect second half, and he did it all without
turning the ball over. Tharpe scored all 16 points in only 18 minutes.
On senior night, one senior, Tarik Black, shined and could end up giving the Jayhawks a momentum swing for the rest of the season. With freshmen center Joel Embiid on the bench, Black provided solid minutes and a scoring threat.
"I thought it was the most aggressive he's been all year," Self said. "As far as looking to score and making post moves, he played very, very well."
Black finished the game nine for nine from the field and a season-high 19 points. Black hasn't taken nine shots all season, but he made every one count.
"He went out with a bang." Tharpe said about Black's performance.
Sophomore forward Perry Ellis played near perfect as well.
Ellis only played 18 minutes; senior forward Justin Wesley played the majority of Ellis' second half minutes. On a limited role, Ellis shot 4-4 from the field with 13 points, and grabbed five rebounds.
Ellis' stat line didn't tell how effective he actually was. All four shots that Ellis took were mid-range and long-range jump-shots. Ellis made one 3-pointer and it was the only three he shot, which gives him a 50 percent 3-point percentage on the season.
When the Jayhawks can win big without freshmen guard Andrew Wiggins scoring double-digits, it's a big step for Kansas. Three key players hitting stride at the right time could help give the Jayhawks the momentum they need to get the team through March.
When Tharpe was asked about how the Jayhawks envision the rest of the season, he said there's only one way and it's to win a national championship.
"That's why I came to this school is to get to that point."

Freshman guard Andrew Wiggins puts on his Big 12 Champion's hat after Wednesday night's 82-57 victory against Texas Tech. Wiggins ended the game with nine points and three rebounds.
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
From Mario Chalmers to Ben McLemore, Kansas has seen its fair share of players leave early for the NBA.
It's a problem that every team in America would pay to have. And this year, with arguably one of the most talented teams Self has coached in his Kansas career, as many as three Jayhawks could go in the top twenty of the NBA Draft including freshmen Joel Embiid, Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden. Sophomore Perry Ellis and senior Tarik Black have been also been dubbed as potential draft picks.
"The game ended at 10:30 or 11 p.m., but no one left their seats." Wiggins said. "The fans were still here cheering, even the kids that had school the next day. The fans are incredibly loyal."
and a steel playing 23 minutes as No.8 Kansas crushed the Texas Tech Red Raiders 82-57. Wiggins said it felt like Late Night at the Phog was only yesterday.
"It has gone too fast," Wiggins said. "I wish I had more time to stay here, do my thing and be with the team, the coaches and all these wonderful fans."
While the futures of Embiid and Selden are still up in the air, Wiggins, the unanimous number one recruit in the Class of 2013, made it clear at the beginning of the season that this was likely his last one in a Kansas uniform on Wednesday night. He ended his last game in Allen Fieldhouse with nine points, four rebounds, two assists
It was almost a year ago that Wiggins made his official visit to Kansas as a senior in high school. He said that game (a 79-42 Kansas win over Texas Tech) was one of the reasons he committed to play at Kansas.
Wednesday's game marked just the fifth game of the season Wiggins has not reached double figures in scoring. He ranks in the top 15 in the conference in points, field goal percentage, steals,
blocks and minutes played.

is no obvious choice for that award.
"It's almost a logical no-brainer." Self said.
ANDREW WIGGINS Freshman guard
Some of Wiggins' most memorable games at Allen Fieldhouse include setting a career-high 29 points against Iowa State on Jan. 29 and scoring 15 points in a dominating first half against second-place Texas on Feb. 22.
Wiggins had his highlight-
reel dunks and high-scoring games, but the freshman should also be remembered for his defense. In the first conference home game, Wiggins held Kansas State star freshman Marcus Foster to seven points on 25-percent shooting. He was often regarded as the Jayhawks' best on-ball defender and would frequently guard the other team's best scorer.
After tonight's game, Wiggins ranks as the third-highest scoring freshman all-time at Kansas and will move into second place with at least three points against West Virginia on Saturday. He already set the freshman record for free throws made (138), free throws attempted (181) and scoring average (16.03 points/game).
"I am thankful for everything," Wiggins said. "I have been blessed with a good team, great coaches and the best fans anyone could ever ask for."
Wiggins said he has enjoyed his time here.

The Mountaineers are still fighting to receive a bid into the NCAA tournament, and the Jayhawks would be the best victory on West Virginia's resume. The Jayhawks can't take this game lightly because Kansas will try to gain momentum going into the Big 12 Tournament and on to the NCAA tournament.

Black came off the bench the last time these two team met and he still scored 11 points and grabbed 4 rebounds in 21 minutes. Black will get the chance to start this time around against the Mountaineers and provide more minutes as the injured Embiid watches from the sidelines.
Last matchup, Staten scored 22 points on Tharpe. Tharpe couldn't keep Staten out of the paint and off the foul line. Tharpe will need to play solid man-up defense to prevent Staten from driving and getting open looks.

STARTERS
Naadir Tharpe, guard
PENGUIN
The battle against West Virginia guard Juwan Staten will be a challenge for Tharpe. On Feb.8, the junior guard failed to contain Staten's offensive game, and Staten scored 22 points on 7-13 from the field. Tharpe will need to shut down Staten defensively before he takes over the game.
★★★☆
BEN JOHNSON
Wayne Selden Jr., guard
The physical tools are there for Selden. He defends better than anyone on the team, but his offense can be inconsistent. While the team has confidence in Selden's offense, lately his game has evolved into a jump-shooter. Kansas will benefit more when Selden drives to the basket.
★★★★☆
Andrew Wiggins, guard
The key to the offense rests in Wiggins' hands. When Wiggins' offense has been on point, the Jayhawks play well around him. Lately, Wiggins has played better by scoring nine consecutive double-digit games and coach Bill Self said Wiggins' offense has improved because he's driving the ball better. In the first matchup against West Virginia, Wiggins scored 19 points and shut down Mountaineer guard Eron Harris.
★★★★★
Farid A. Khaledi
Elli's all-around game has sharpened the stretch of the season. He has improved his mid-range jump-shot and consistently attacks the basket, which results in more foul shots. Ellis scored eight points on 4-8 from the field, but didn't get to the free-throw line. Ellis will be a bigger factor without Joel Embid in the lineup.
Perry Ellis, forward
SIR JOHN ADELWAN KAFAKE
★★★★☆
This will be the last game for Black as a starter before Embid comes back to play in the Big 12 conference tournament. Black has provided enforcement in the paint with the absence of Embid, but Black falls into toul trouble when he gets the chance to start. Black understands his role in the offense as a post-player and an aggressive offensive rebounder.
Tarik Black, center
★★★☆☆
WEST VIRGINIA (16-13,8-8 Big 12)
---
STARTERS
He scored 12 points in each of his first three conference games but hasn't reached that total since. The freshman is the team's leading rebounder and also averages eight points per game. At 6-foot-9, Williams is the tallest starter on a team that doesn't have much size, especially compared to Kansas.
★★☆★★
MARY J. KELLY
Remi Dibo, forward
Dibo has been inconsistent all season. He had a 20-point game against Iowa State on Feb. 10 but followed that by scoring two and six points, respectively, in his next two games. The French native is a forward who stretches the floor with his shooting range and ranks fourth in the league in 3-point percentage and seventh in 3-pointers made.
★★★☆☆
PETER
Juwan Staten, guard
A candidate for Big 12 Player of the Year, Staten leads the team in points and assists and ranks second in rebounds. His 5.93 assists per game also rank first in the Big 12. He doesn't shoot much from the outside but is effective at scoring around the rim or finding his teammates on the outside. The junior plays nearly the entire game and leads the league in minutes played, highlighting his importance to the team.
★★★★
Eron Harris, guard
Another guard capable of lightning up the scoreboard, Harris is tied with Staten averaging 18 points a game, which ranks second in the conference. Unlike Staten, Harris will shoot often from long-range as he ranks third in the Big 12 in 3-pointers made, with 80 this season. He has averaged 21.7 points in his last three games.
PETER BAKER
★★★★★
PETER PARKER
Terry Henderson, guard
Ranked third on the team in scoring with 12.1 points a game, Henderson only scored two points against Kansas on Feb. 8 and missed all three of his field goal attempts. The sophomore has battled an illness of late and has missed the team's last three games. He is another Mountaineer that is efficient from long range as he ranks eighth in the league in 3-point percentage.
★★★☆☆
WEST VIRGINIA TIPOFF
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
Prediction: Kansas 85, West Virginia 78
AT A GLANCE
The Mountainteers have one of the best backcourts in the country as Staten and Harris each average 18 points a game. However, their frontcourt is undersized and inexperienced. The Jayhawks took advantage of this in the teams' first meeting as Kansas outscedored West Virginia 46-18 in the paint. Around mid season, the Mountainters looked like they were capable of making the NCAA Tournament. It now looks unlikely after suffering a three-game losing streak after beating Iowa State Feb. 10.
PLAYER TO WATCH
IRENA
Eron Harris
Harris hit, three consecutive 3-pointers in a 90-second span against Kansas on Feb. 8 to help keep West Virginia close. However, he didn't score a field goal the rest of the game. His consistency will be important for the Mountaineers to compete on Saturday.
QUESTION MARKS
Will Terry Henderson play?
He sat out the team's last three games with an illness. When healthy, Henderson is another solid scoring option for West Virginia that would only help its chances for an upset.
28
BY THE NUMBERS
44.7
Field goal percentage allowed by West Virginia, the worst in the Big 12.
Kansas outscored West Virginia in the paint by a 28-point margin on Feb. 8.
38.3
West Virginia's 3-point percentage, second best in the Big 12.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Kansas cannot dominate inside. The Jayhawks controlled the paint against the Mountaineers in their last matchup. Even with Embidid sitting out, Black, Ellis and Taylor should be able to score near the rim.

Junior right fielder Connor McKay slides into second base after a double to left field on May 1, 2013. McKay and Kansas play their first home game on March 12 after several cancellations due to weather.
The Jayhawks may have suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Houston Baptist, but they still came away with the series victory taking three of the four. Now, the Jayhawks are off to their best start in program history, at 11-1, doing it all on the road.
"It starts with experience," coach Ritch Price said. "Most of these guys started a year ago and they know how to compete and prepare properly, especially on the road."
But even for a team that is off to its best start in school history, and which was picked to finish last in its preseason conference polls, the layhawks still feel as if they have something to prove. Kansas will most certainly have that opportunity in its final road series against perennial national powerhouse Stanford (5-7).
"I saw their recruiting class was second in the country, and I put them on the schedule because I wanted to see the arm strength of their pitching before we went to Texas," Price said. "They and Texas are arguably the best pitching staffs in the country"
Offensively, the Jayhawks will be put to the test, but they have shown they can handle the pressure. Through the first 12 games, everyone has stepped up and contributed when needed. They rank fifth in the nation with a team average of .333.
"A lot of guys have stepped
up and filled roles," outfielder Connor McKay said. "The top of our lineup does a great job getting on the base, everyone is executing and I feel like one through nine we have a solid lineup."
The Stanford Cardinal is no stranger to offense either, as it is led by top draft-pick prospects third baseman Alex Blandino and outfielder Austin
"With any team we expect them to be good," said starting pitcher Wes Benjamin. "My game plan stays the same and it is just to fill the zone and throw strikes."
Slater. Blandino is hitting 429 with 12 RBIs, while Slater is hitting 368 and 10 RBIs.
Benjamin is going to have his hands full as the ace takes the mound against this offense in
game one on Friday night. The left-handed junior has posted a 6.52 ERA, but is 2-0 in his three starts.
Robert Kahana remains the number two starter, and will take the mound in game two on Saturday. He sits at 1-1 with a 4.19 ERA in his first three starts this spring.
+
In the final game of the series, Price will give the ball
to senior right-hander Frank Duncan, who has regained his momentum after his shaky first start. Duncan has posted a 2.31 ERA for a 2-0 record, with a team-leading 27 strikeouts.
If the Jayhawks were to come home with yet another road series victory, they will be more than likely to crack the top 25, just in time for the start of conference play. Kansas will
begin conference play against the University of Texas in a road series next weekend.
"With our home opener coming up and conference play coming up," McKay said, "this could be real good momentum for us."

The Wichita State basketball team celebrates beating Missouri State 68-45 to end a perfect 31-0 season Saturday in Wichita.
Shockers bring unbeaten record into Valley tourney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The last school to go unbeaten in the regular season, St. Joseph's in 2004, lost its first game in the Atlantic 10 tournament by 20 points to Xavier.
Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall plans on throwing that factoid at his players before the Missouri Valley Tournament. The reminder: No one's invincible.
It's also not the end of the world if the Shockers lose. After dropping that tournament opener following a nine-day layoff, top-seeded St. Joseph's advanced to the East Regional final in 2004 before losing to Oklahoma State by two measly points.
"They know they have to play well, and I probably will mention it," Marshall said. "I'm very upfront with them. Yeah, I'll let them know that."
Indiana State (21-9, 12-

The second-ranked Shockers were 18-0 in conference play, beating every team twice. They're the No.1 seed for the second time in three years and will play the winner of the Drake-Evansville game on Friday.
have won the tourney.
Northern Iowa has won three in a row and sixth seed Southern Illinois has won three of four. They're not worried about what happened a decade ago, just looking to get that hot hand in a tournament that's often wide open. In 23 years in St. Louis, just seven top seeds
Indiana State has its best seed since the 2000 team was No.1, but the Sycamores have lost three in a row. Missouri State has won two of three but lost in the regular-season finale by 23 at Wichita State.
"Indiana State, they're good enough to win the whole thing." Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said.
Even the four play-in schools, with nary a winning record among them and with history against them, don't think it's a lost cause. Since the tournament expanded to all 10 teams in 1997, playin winners are 1-32 in the quarterfinals.

Junior pitcher Alicia Pile pitches during the softball game against the UMKC Roos. Kansas defeated the Roos 4-0 on April 24, 2013.
Kansas (11-6) is on the road once more before they host its home opener next week. This weekend, Kansas heads to Tampa, Fla., to partake in South Florida's Under Armour Classic.
First up for Kansas is Northwestern (11-4) on Friday. The last time the Jayhawks and the Wildcats met was in 2009 at the Kajikawa Classic. Kansas won the high scoring affair 8-7. Unlike Kansas, Northwestern has met several ranked opponents this season. Northwestern has played Stanford, LSU, South Alabama, Washington, Baylor and defending national champions Oklahoma. All four of their losses come from ranked opponents (Stanford, LSU, Oklahoma and Baylor). Northwestern is just outside of the top 25, sitting 29th in the country.

In the second game of the tournament, Kansas faces host team South Florida (16-5). The last time the Bulls and the Jayhawks played each other was in 1999 at the South Florida Gladstone Tournament. South Florida won the game 2-0. South Florida has also played ranked opponents. They've played against Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, Louisiana-Lafayette and Stanford. Like Northwestern, South Florida also sits just outside the top 25; South Florida would be ranked 30th nationally.
On the second day of competition, Kansas faces St. John's (5-9). Kansas and
St. John's haven't played one another in at least the past ten years. Before taking on Kansas, St. John's plays the Dutch National Team in an exhibition game. The Dutch are the defending European Champions.
Following the St. John's matchup, Kansas takes on Utah (7-5). The Utes and the Jayhawks last faced off in 2004, with the Jayhawks winning the game 2-1. The Utes will be coming off of a short rest
period, due to their home opener tournament drawing to a close on Wednesday.
Kansas plays one game on the third day of competition. Kansas faces LIU Brooklyn (6-13). The Jayhawks were slated to play the Blackbirds in the first tournament of the season, but was rained out.
First pitch for Kansas takes place on Friday at 10:45 a.m. against Northwestern.

Scott Janssen keeps control of his sled rounding the corner near Goose Lake during the ceremonial start for Iditarod 42 in Anchorage, Alaka, Saturday. Janssen was back home early Wednesday after he was flown to a hospital after a harrowing ordeal that included crashing his sled, hitting his head on a stump and later falling through ice and breaking his ankle.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race musher was flown to a hospital after a harrowing ordeal that included crashing his sled, hitting his head on a tree stump and getting knocked unconscious, and later falling through ice and breaking his ankle.
Scott Janssen, 52, an Anchorage undertaker known as the Mushing Mortician, was back home early Wednesday after getting a cast for the broken bone he suffered on Tin Creek, about 40 miles from Nikolai.
Treacherous trail conditions with little snow have marked the early part of this year's Iditarod, which started Sunday with 69 mushers. The nearly 1,000-mile race spans two mountain ranges, dangerous wilderness and the windwhipped Bering Sea coast.
As he dismantled his broken seat, another musher came along. Janssen asked him the time, and couldn't believe an hour, if not two, had passed.
"I made it through the worst part of the trail only to slip on the ice and break my foot," Janssen told The Associated Press on Wednesday as he recuperated from home.
"I tripped over there, went full-speed and hit my head on that stump," he said he told the musher. "I think I went nightnight for awhile."
Janssen's ordeal began Tuesday when he crashed his sled between the Rohn and Nikolai checkpoints, hitting his head after he said he bumped across rocks all along the trail. He lay unconscious for at least an hour and awoke to find his sled nearby and his dogs huddled next to him, covered in light snow.
After caring for his dogs, Janssen fixed his sled and continued on.
There's a lot of heaven to be seen along the Iditarod route. But, he said, "that part of the trail was all hell."
He made it to Tin Creek and estimated he had only about 7 more miles of nasty trail until it turned good again.
But one of his dogs, Hooper, got loose from the line and took off.
Janssen said he loosely anchored his sled and tried to call Hooper as he crossed a frozen creek. But just as Hooper heeded the call and trotted back to his place in line, Janssen fell.
"I had 15 dogs I have to take care of, no way I could responsibly mush in that pain I was in."
SCOTT JANSSEN
Iditarod racer
"I slipped on the ice, and bang, that was it," he said. "Then I just laid there on the ice because I could not get back across the water to get back to my sled."
He lay there for about 45 minutes before another musher, St. Anne, Jamaica, native Newton Mashall, came along.
"I said, 'Help! Help,' and Newton comes walking up and said, 'Yeah, mn. How you doing?' I said, 'I'm just lying around, kicking back,'" Janssen said.

After that, Janssen said he encouraged Marshall to get back on the trial and keep racing, but Marshall wouldn't budge until help arrived. Mushers carry mandatory GPS units that have an emergency

But he said there's one consolation.
Warm weather and light snow near the gorge led officials to briefly consider moving the start of this year's race from the Anchorage area hundreds of miles north to Fairbanks. However, the decision was made late last month to leave the start in Willow, because conditions had improved.

The rest of the team might not have had that problem.
owski said, "and I think maybe the emotion got the better of him."
"There was a great emotional investment in the game." Wojciech
Duke (23-7, 12-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) was playing for the first time in over a week — after going 4-1 in an 11-day span before that — and Wojciechowski says the Blue Devils simply weren't prepared emotionally.
After taking a late seven-point lead, Duke went without a field goal for 5 critical minutes while allowing the Demon Deacons (16-14, 6-11) to reel off 17 straight points and go up by double figures.
"I'm not sure that...we were as prepared from an emotional standpoint," Wojciechowski said. "I don't know if our guys had the needed edge to compete against a Wake Forest team that played their hearts out."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
KYLE PAPPAS sports@kansan.com
Losing five consecutive games isn't exactly how Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson envisioned heading into this weekend's Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament in Oklahoma City. But after doing just that, her squad will likely have a nothing-to-lose mentality entering Friday's first-round matchup against Kansas State.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
After splitting their two regular-season contests, both teams will be looking to salvage what's largely been a disappointing season by taking the Sunflower Showdown series. They'll play for the right to face No. 9 Baylor on Saturday afternoon.
KANSAS
0
Kansas has lost in about every way imaginable over recent weeks. When the team shoots well, it gets dominated on the boards. When it rebounds well, it can't get shots to fall. When it rebounds and shoots wall, it doesn't play defense. Firing on all cylinders will certainly be an emphasis for the Jayhawks heading into Oklahoma City.
up two fouls in the game's opening minutes.
Additionally, it's crucial that junior forward Chelsea Gardner stays out of foul trouble. It's been something she's struggled with all season and you can be sure the Wildcats will try to draw a few early hacks from Kansas' leading scoreer. She was limited to only 16 minutes in Tuesday's loss to West Virginia after picking
Kansas' Asia Boyd drives to the basket during the first half of the game against West Virginia on Tuesday in Morgantown, W.Va.
Kansas' offensive dynamic completely flips with Gardner on the bench. Generally, the team attempts to work down to Gardner for a high-percentage shot in the paint; Gardner-less, it tends to rely more on jump shots from junior guards Asia Boyd and Natalie Knight. She must stay on the court for the Jayhawks to have an opportunity to advance.
But Kansas State hasn't been particularly impressive of late either. The Wildcats finished ninth in the Big 12, dropping nine of their final 12 conference games. Their last win was a 76-68 defeat of Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 26.
The bulk of K-State's troubles this year have occurred on offense; it is ninth in both field goal percentage — it shoots only 38 percent — and from 3-point range, where it hits only 29 percent of its attempts. Kansas will look to keep the ball out of the paint, limiting the Wildcats to mid-range jumpers and 3-point shots.
Freshman guard Leticia Romero has had her way with the jayhawks over the initial two games of the series, averaging 21.5 points, 7.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds. She constantly presents a threat driving to the basket, but can just as quickly kick it out for an open three. Romero's ball-handling skills are among the league's best and she's
capable of scoring from anywhere on the court.
It will be interesting to see how the rubber match plays out, as neither of the first two were particularly close affairs. Kansas more-or-less dominated from beginning to end in the first matchup, and Kansas State enjoyed a rather easy defeat of the Jayhawks in the second.
These are two evenly-
matched teams that have already had a couple games to figure each other out. With both of their seasons on the line, expect this goaround to be much closer than the previous two.
Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Taylor scored 27 points to lead the Jayhawks to eighth consecutive title
WALK OFF MARKET
The team was on its way to a fourth straight conference title, and it was all about Taylor's ability to score. The Jayhawks had lost 4-3 in their previous season, but they were able to make a strong start with Taylor's 27 points. The team also had a strong defense, as they held the Jayhawks to just 10 shots each in their first nine games.
The Jayhawks are now ready to face the New York Giants in an NCAA tournament game. The Giants have been playing well since last year, but they still need to win to keep the title alive.
The team will be looking for a new coach to help them improve their performance. The Jayhawks are not interested in another coach at this time, but they are open to finding one.

The Kristen Lanceau team were never the first through which Kevin Durnan was made aware. One detail did what did Cristian Bolli Self do? "He told me a book on basketball, but he said we were also making light of other guys slaying it." That combined with a knife fist, fueled a second hand scald that left 90-80 percent of them unconscious. Three other range players 5-10 feet from the camera, each have been slammed five-10 feet from Meirionne, the Jaykins' even stronger 50 percent of shooting or dribbling during their hard-hit streak, guard Michael Cunningham.

27 points to hold the eighth conference title.
The team was beaten by the defending champion, the Oregon State Beavers. The loss was a blow to the program, as the Pac-10 conference is still one of the few conferences with a strong roster. The team was unable to make up for the absence of its star center, Justin Bailor, who has been out since April due to an illness.
The team had lost its first conference game against the Colorado Buffaloes in November, but then won against the Arizona State Sun Devils in November. The team was able to come back from a loss against the Utah Jazz in January and win against the Arizona State Sun Devils in November.
The team will continue to play its best games this season, and will look for more opportunities to advance to the next round.

In a first year of experience in the field of computer science, I developed a system that enabled students to learn programming languages through interactive activities. The system included various learning tools such as online tutorials, quizzes, and games. Students were encouraged to participate actively in the learning process by taking part in hands-on projects and experiments.
The system was designed to be accessible to students with different skill levels. It included a variety of learning modules, each catering to different proficiency levels. For beginners, there were basic modules for learning basic programming concepts. Intermediate modules focused on more complex topics like data structures, algorithms, and web前端开发. Advanced modules covered advanced programming techniques and specialized skills.
The system also included an integrated platform where students could access resources such as books, videos, and interactive exercises. This platform provided students with access to a wealth of learning materials and resources, allowing them to stay updated with the latest developments in the field of computer science.
Overall, the computer science course offered by the institution is well-rounded and comprehensive, providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their future careers.

Women and men who have cancer are at risk of complications from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Women who live with a breast cancer diagnosis or history of breast cancer may be more susceptible to side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy than women without the diagnosis. Women who live with a breast cancer diagnosis or history of breast cancer should be closely monitored by their primary care provider. Women should take steps to reduce their risk of side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Drug Resistance in the Human Body
Drug resistance is a phenomenon that occurs when the immune system is unable to recognize and respond to drugs. This can lead to the development of resistance to drug treatment, making it more difficult to prevent or treat diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, and chronic illness.
One common example of drug resistance is the ability of some HIV-1 patients to become resistant to the金刚霉素 (Ampicillin) and fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Over time, these drugs become ineffective at eliminating the virus from the body, leading to the development of new resistance strains.
Another example is the resistance of some hepatitis C patients to the protease inhibitor Paclitaxel. This resistance has led to the development of new therapies for hepatitis C, including protease inhibitors and anti-tuberculosis medications.
Drug resistance also affects the immune response to certain vaccines. For example, the vaccine against influenza has developed resistance to the influenza virus, allowing the vaccine to be less effective in preventing COVID-19.
In addition to drug resistance, other factors contribute to drug resistance, including genetic mutations, environmental stressors, and alterations in the host's immune system.
Overall, drug resistance is a complex phenomenon that can have significant implications for public health. It highlights the importance of continued research into drug resistance mechanisms and strategies to improve the effectiveness of antiviral and antibiotic treatments.

British War Commission
Australia's Joint Force, the British War Commission, was established in 1908 and had a period of existence until its dissolution in 1945. It was responsible for overseeing the development of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and was charged with ensuring that the ADF remained effective in defence of Australia. The Commission also provided advice on military policy to the Prime Minister and was responsible for coordinating efforts among the armed forces. Its headquarters were located at Parliament House, Sydney.
The British War Commission played a crucial role in shaping Australia's military strategy during World War II. It directed the Allied forces against Japanese occupation of Australia and was involved in the formation of the Australian Army, which played a significant role in the war effort.
After World War II, the British War Commission continued to serve as the main defence agency in Australia until its dissolution in 1972. It remains an important part of Australia's history and legacy.

It's 2 p.m. on a Friday and Harvey is on his way to visit his wife, Mary. Harvey is let in the locked doors and walks into the naturally lit room where Mary is sitting and mumbling to herself about the warmer weather or perhaps about what's on TV. When Harvey turns the corner, Mary tilts her chin down for a kiss on the forehead and Harvey begins to ask Mary about her day, knowing that he'll only get

Nine years ago, Dr. Mary Steir, a 66-year-old Kansas graduate and retired psychology professor, was bothered by how easily she was forgetting things. She went to a neurologist to figure out what was going on and was told she was just an "absent-minded professor" and that nothing had shown up on her brain scan, MRI or spinal tap.

Eight years after Mary was told she only had six years left, her doctors told Mary's husband, Harvey, that she'd be dead in three days.
Harvey described her condition as "catatonic."
"She was like a puppet, she couldn't eat, she couldn't drink, she couldn't do nothing on her own," Harvey said.
He called Katherine, now a 23-year-old Ph.D student in

A homicide reported Saturday makes the fifth reported homicide in Lawrence since July 2013.
Dustin D. Walker, 29, was arrested on suspicion of murder in the first degree shortly after 9 a.m. on Saturday after a shooting occurred in the 2400 block of Cedarwood Avenue earlier that morning. The victim was identified as Patrick Roberts, 39.
The first homicide of 2014 was reported on Jan. 17, when police officials found the body of Harold Sasko, 52, inside a residence at 2900 block of West 26th Street after responding to a missing persons call regarding Sarah Brooke Gonzales McLinn.
The shooting of Roberts is the second homicide reported in Lawrence in 2014.
Following the discovery of Sasko's body, Gonzales McLinn, who also lived inside of the residence, was reported
missing but was later found in possession of Sasko's car in Everglades National Park in Florida on the morning of Jan. 26. McLinn was named the sole suspect in the case at a news conference on Jan. 27.
Reported homicides in 2013 include the July 17 shooting of Gary Edens, which Brittny Marie Adams, 20, was sentenced to nearly 13 years in prison for the crime, according

Six executive members of Student Senate returned from Washington, D.C., last week feeling energized and encouraged to finish the semester strong.
Members met with five Kansas delegators from the House and Senate on Tuesday to represent the state as part of a Big 12 higher education conference. They advocated Pell grant reform, keeping student loan interest rates low, federal research funding and discussed Obama's federal college rating system, said Marcus Tetwiler, student body president.
The purpose of the trip was to remind legislators to federally support higher education with the perspective of a university student.
"It was reassuring to our entire staff to see on such a federal and national level that these legislators support us and are behind us," said Morgan Said, outreach director. "They let us know what we doing matters, and that our ideas and concerns are valid."
"Just because we're undergrads doesn't mean we should be silent about our stories," Tetwiler said. "When students have an issue that needs to be heard, the impact of a resolution or conversation from a student voice to those representatives is stronger than a lobbyist."
The student loan interest rates will be reexamined by the House and Senate, and Treasurer Michael Graham said the goal of the meetings was to remind representatives of the needs of students across the country.
"I think it helps put a face to
The executive staff said representatives were person- able and supportive. Kansas Senator Pat Roberts made a personal phone call to Tetwiler's grandmother and Kansas Senator Jerry Moran took his first selfie with Said.
Tetwiler said there won't be immediate results,but he looks forward to future conversations,and in the meantime,the exchange of tweets and emails.

According to statistics filed through the Uniform Crime Reporting Classification on the City of Lawrence's website, the last report of murder and non-negligent manslaughter prior to 2013 was filed July 2008. Classifications for murder, homicide or non-negligent manslaughter were not present on the statistics for the years of 2009-2012.
According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the total number of homicides since 2004 had decreased by 28 percent as of 2012, reaching a peak number of homicides in 2008 with a total of 79 murders.

from the hospital and was moved into Windsor of Lawrence Assisted Living's Reflections unit. Now, Mary is sitting up and eating and drinking, but Harvey recognizes this as an "end-of-life" decision, understanding that Mary has little time left.
Too often, Alzheimer's patients are left alone and forgotten about because they can't remember conversations and can get frustrated with others easily. Usually, death occurs because patients forget how to eat or how to say that they're hungry, resulting in a weakened immune system and a body.
Sharon Garrett, the unit's primary caregiver, has cared for Alzheimer's patients for 23 years. She has seven kids, which she said has taught her the patience needed to deal with Alzheimer's patients. Her main job is to keep her residents moving and interacting with one another.
However, Sharon doesn't let that happen because she's seen what a "little bit of love and a little bit of nutrients can do."
"I ask them questions to keep them motivated and to keep them going so they don't give up on life;" she said.
Debbie Green, a caregiver for those with memory impairment, said, "Alzheimer's is the most brutal disease I've ever seen. We must find a cure because the social and economical costs are too high to go unnoticed."
The total cost for care in 2012 was valued at $216.4 billion in the United States, equal to that of cancer care, according to the Alzheimer's Organization. Additionally, 53 percent of Kansans more than 65 years old have Alzheimer's disease, resulting in over $88 million worth of care in Kansas.
Patients can be treated with medications that slow down the progression of symptoms, but there is still no form of medicine that can break down the plaques and tangles. Beta-amyloid peptide and the protein tau (rhymes with "wow") are two hallmark Alzheimer's brain abnormalities.
Dr. T. Chris Gamblin, a University associate professor of molecular bioscienc
This could potentially be a big step forward for Alzheimer's research because it helps doctors "plan for and manage the disorder," said Dr. Howard J. Federoff, the study's corresponding author. Such a test allows doctors to work with and test patients who have the disease and not waste valuable time on non-affected patients.
Just yesterday, researchers at Georgetown found a new blood test that can "predict with 90 percent accuracy if a healthy person will develop Alzheimer's disease within three years," according to a study that will be published in the April issue of Nature Medicine.
es, said. "What isn't known is what relative contribution each has. There are still a lot of tests being done trying to figure out which one plays a bigger role."
At the University, Gamblin and Dr. Berl Oakley, an Irving S. Johnson Distinguished Professor of molecular biology, have discovered an array of natural fungus. According to Oakley the fungi "have the ability to produce a lot that we
didn't realized was possible a few years ago."
Whether it's the caregivers, the patients, the researches or the economists, it's evident that something must be done to help cure Alzheimer's. Too little is known about the disease and more economic and public support are needed to allow people like Harvey and Mary Steir to be making retirement plans instead of how they'll be spending their last days together.
"Right now it requires such a high concentration to work, meaning it's too hard to work with [in animals]," Oakley said. "If things work well then if would still be a few years because we'd have to go to animal testing, which normally takes years and years and costs billions of dollars."
The fungi have been promising in the lab breaking down tau aggregates, but there is still a lot more for them to learn.

Public university alliance aims to increase affordability
ASHLEY BOOKER
news@kansan.com
The University has created an alliance with 10 other large public universities to develop and share innovative ideas to help make college more affordable and to help college students succeed.
The University Innovations Alliance was established in response to a proposal last August by President Barack Obama to establish a college rating system that would allow students to compare college costs, graduation rates and debt information, and tie federal financial aid to college performance. Presidents and chancellors of the 11 universities have been invited to a summit at the White House on March 28 to discuss achieving
these goals. Ann Cudd, the vice provost and dean of Undergraduate Studies, will represent the University.
"I am excited to connect with national leaders on how we can improve access and graduation rates for low-income students," Cudd said. "I feel honored to represent the University of Kansas at this event."
In addition to Kansas, the other universities in the alliance are the University of Texas at Austin, University of Central Florida, University of California Riverside, Iowa State, Ohio State, Michigan State, Arizona State, Georgia State, Oregon State and Purdue University.
"We are all going to be sharing our best practices, sharing our innovations and teaching
each other what works and why it works on our campuses, so that we can all lift each other up" Cudd said.

"I am excited to connect with national leaders on how we can improve access and graduation rates for low-income students."
ANN CUDD
Vice provost and dean of Undergraduate Studies
Gray-Little has focused on improving the University's retention rate, which is now 79.9 percent for freshman-to-sophomore students, according to the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning, and she acknowledges that there is much room for improvement. She wants the
61. 6 percent.
The University is currently helping low-income students stay in school by creating a more fulfilling first-year experience as a part of Bold Aspirations, implementing a new core curriculum and using MySuccess, which allows instructors to track student performance. For fiscal year 2013, the University had 4,417 students eligible for Pell grants, which are need-based, non-repayable grants for undergraduate students working toward their first degree, said Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs. This year, the maximum grant was $5,645.
"We already know we need to compete for as many qualified students as we can compete for," Cudd said. "So we need to compete for low-income students, first-generation students, as well as middle- and high-income students. We already see this as our mission."
Obama has made higher education a primary focus in his final years in office. He has said college education should be a right, not a luxury.
He proposed a government-driven college rating system to be in effect by the 2015 school year. He said the system should let students know the price of attending one college over another, display retention rates and show how much debt the average student incurs.
With this proposal in mind, Obama invited more than 100 college presidents and chancellors to commit to helping low-income students improve access, retention and graduation rates at the White House Summit on Jan. 16. In response, the University Innovations Alliance was created.
"The college rating system I think will especially inspire those institutions who have gotten off of that path, off of that mission to come back to it," Cudd said.

Memes are the worst thing since unsliced bread
This sentiment has ridden under the surface of most of my columns for the past few years. It's simple: Memes are the single worst product of the Internet and are destroying popular culture.
Memes give the impression of an inside joke. Back in the day, when only a handful of people could catch the reference, that feeling of being part of some club was genuine.
I'm not trying to say that I hate memes because they became popular. I'm not 15 anymore. I'm saying that memes were always good for a quick chuckle and nothing more. When they got co-opted by parents, corporations and every single person on my Facebook feed, they lost their charm, and fast.
The influx of the same joke, day in and day out, is
It's easy to post a link or generate a meme yourself on www.memevomiter.org. You aren't risking judgment because you know it's funny. Memes don't become popular unless people like them, so this layer of cloned jokes and prefab humor protects you.
enough to drive even the most tolerant to pulling out their hair.
The reason why I was driven to finally write this column is that I think I've figured out why people latch onto memes. They're safe and convenient comedy.
Remember "Keep Calm and Carry On"? Everyone and their mom had that idiotic slogan (and its infinite mutations) on a T-shirt or poster. Greek organizations, sports clubs, the school

bookstore, you name it, they all hopped aboard.
Until, one day, it lost its charm. That British war propaganda line saturated our popular culture to the point of bursting and we dumped it.
what worries me is that each Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake follows the same trajectory: a small group discovers and shares it, it catches fire and everybody feels entitled to join in, everyone gets sick of seeing it everywhere and abandons it. It's like our culture is a fat, gigantic baby that gobbles up the next big
thing and burps it back up the second it gets used to the taste.
A society of memetics doesn't appreciate new contributions to culture. It digs its chubby hooks into it, beats it to death while squeezing every ounce of profit and comedy from it, and then chucks the empty husk into a dumpster.
I'm convinced that this process of rapid popularity and saturation is going to speed up. We'll eat, digest and poop out our culture so fast that we'll lose our sense of culture.
Take the next new thing:
A website that hosts live streaming videos of games is letting its viewers play a game of Pokemon by typing individual button commands into the stream's chat. Think of the Infinite Monkey Theorem, where if thousands of monkeys
slammed onto typewriters for an infinite amount of time, they'd eventually write "The Complete Works of Shakespeare."
Soon enough, Twitch Plays Pokemon will be the next trashed piece of culture blowing in the wind.
After gaining rapid popularity and spawning a dozen new inside jokes, the Twitch Plays Pokemon crowd is already losing its charm. After starting a petition to make a national holiday for their completion of the game, the backlash grew.
At least it's good for a chuckle while it lasts.

Barbie look-alike creates harmful physical standard
Magazines, television shows and advertisements show women that are tall, skinny and covered in makeup. Our society has set the standard that women are not considered beautiful without these characteristics. So if you don't look like the women you see on television, should you change yourself?
I recently watched a documentary on 28-year-old Ukrainian model, Valeria Lukyanova, a human look-alike of the popular children's doll, Barbie. Over the past year she has gained a lot of attention because of her unnatural look. Her body is disproportional, just like one would imagine a human Barbie doll looking, and everything about her seems fake. Lukyanova has claimed multiple times that the only surgery she has had was for breast enlargement, though looking at before and after pictures you can see differences that wouldn't be possible without plastic surgery.
I watched Lukyanova's documentary to see if she could explain the reason why she does what she does. As a child, Lukyanova claimed to have seen spirits from "other dimensions" and that she has been reincarnated several times. She believes that she has been brought to this world to be a spiritual guru and explains that she looks the way she does to gain attention for her teachings. She claims that no one will pay attention to someone that looks like a nun, but that everybody will listen

to a nearly "perfect" human being.
The only message I get from Lukyanova is that people can't consider themselves beautiful unless they have a barely-there waist and change every part of them that is real.
As if she couldn't be more ridiculous, Lukyanova recently stated in an interview with International Business Times that she no longer has a desire for food and hopes to survive on only air and light. She follows Breatharianism, a pseudoscience belief where followers do not eat or drink, instead they live on "cosmic micro-food." To me, Lukyanova seems insane, but unfortunately there are a few who look up to her and even want to be her.
LETTER GUIDELINES
In a scene in the documentary, Lukyanova's sister, Olga, gets her makeup done by Valeria. After she is finished, Valeria tells her sister not to smile because smiling reveals her "second chin." Instead, she should look as if she is in mourning. Olga stated that at one point she tried everything she could to be just like her sister, but after a while decided to be her own person. It's common for younger siblings to look up to their older siblings, but Lukyanova's message to her sister and the rest of society is troubling. When will it be acceptable
for women to look the way they are, without changing everything about themselves?
Cecilia Cho is a junior from Overland Park studying journalism.
Lukyanova's lifestyle is just a distraction and her "spiritual guildings" are basically ignored because of her appearance. I feel sorry for Lukyanova and I feel sorry for women who believe she is a role model. Women of all ages are subjected to criticism when it comes to their appearance, but society needs to realize that you don't need to look like a Barbie, a supermodel or anyone other than yourself
— the natural you is beautiful.
People like Lukyanova are the reason that women strive for something that is not normal and is unachievable. People going as far as getting plastic surgery to permanently change the way they look is unhealthy and sends a dangerous message to younger women. We see celebrities who look dramatically different when they have no makeup on, compared to what they look like on the red carpet. Many girls idolize their favorite celebrities and aspire to look like them. Being beautiful seems to be all people care about these days, but women and even men, should take a stand and love the appearance they were born with. If people cannot learn to accept themselves, more women like Lukyanova might start to surface. I don't see why anyone would want that.

When to consider second chances

The reason for breaking up is the biggest factor in deciding whether to get back together with an ex. Cheating is unforgivable in my opinion.
If the reason you broke up the first time was because of character or trust, I'd say a second chance may be a waste of time. Cheating is a sign of immaturity and lack of commitment — two things that won't be fixed with a week or two away from each other.

Call me a hopeless romantic, but if you really love someone you'll make it work — and that just might happen with another attempt. So when it comes to second chances, at least give it a second thought.
Kolby Botts, sales manager kbotts@kansan.com
B reakups are hard and what's even harder is not knowing if you
not knowing if you made the right decision. Weeks go by and you're still wondering if it was best, and if time apart means getting back together with a fresh start, or just fixing past problems. And what's even worse than breaking up once? Having to go through it all again. But as Cosmopolitan magazine reported, with 44 percent of young adults trying again after they breakup, it's hard to know whether you should be in that percentage or not. They say it isn't over until it's over, but how do we really know when it's over?
If you do choose to walk away from the commitment, I would advise to not let yourself believe that a simple sexual relationship with an ex could work out. Cosmo also revealed that 53 percent of young adults continue to have sex with an ex after a breakup. If he or she isn't good enough to be devoted to then that person is no longer good enough for you to sleep with.

Though there is the saying. "You can never change a man." I always hear it, from my mom, in magazines and movies, and I must say that I strongly disagree. Maybe the better way to put it is that you can't change a man who doesn't want to be changed. If he wants the relationship to work bad enough, he will. Sometimes it does take time, or a breakup, for someone to realize how important change is, but everyone is 100 percent capable of changing. However, just because they're capable, doesn't mean they're willing. Don't hold on to hope that someone will change for you if adjustments aren't being made.

Historical chant holds meaning for students
CORRINE DORRIAN

"Rock Chalk Jayhawk" has been cheered throughout the world for decades, creating both meaning for students and history.
In 1886 a chant was created that would make the University of Kansas stand out from every other school in the world, and would do so for decades. Chemistry professor E.H.S Bailey formed the phrase for his science club and it was a little different than how we say it today.
According to the Kansas traditions website, the chant was "rah, rah, Jayhawk, KU" repeated three times. The "rahs" were later replaced by "Rock Chalk," relating to chalk rock, the name for the limestone found on Mount Oread.
The chant stuck and has been famous ever since. The traditions website also states that troops used it in 1899 while
fighting in the Philippines, in World War II and in China's Boxer Rebellion. When the king of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell at the 1920 Olympic games, athletes agreed on the Rock Chalk chant and performed it for him. According to a Bleacher Report blog by Jennifer Taglione, the University's cheer was the best college chant President Teddy Roosevelt had ever heard.
The unique phrase has caused students to create their own meaning of what being a Jayhawk is all about.
"Being a Jayhawk means being surrounded by a group of people that are passionate and are united by the tradition of being a KU student," said Kassandra Valles, a freshman from Mission.
Valles went on to say that she chose Kansas because of the school's reputation.
"There are really good programs all around, education
and really good opportunities for the students to get involved and actually make a difference," she said.
Kristin Efurd, a senior from Abilene, has spent four years at the University and says that being a member of the University means a lot to her. Throughout her four years here she's noticed that the one thing that separates Kansas from other schools is the community aspect. There's no doubt that shouting the chant creates one, big jayhawk family.
Ashlyn Hazard, a sophomore from Sioux Falls, Iowa, said, "When I hear the chant, I get chills."
The slow, eerie-sounding chant can be heard echoing throughout the world, making known who the Jayhawks are and uniting a community of people by the words, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk, go KU!"

CONCERT
Childish Gambino's tour heads to Kansas City
RYAN WRIGHT entertain@kansan.com
In promotion of his 2013 album "Because the Internet," musician Childish Gambino is bringing "The Deep Web" tour to Kansas City, Mo., on March 17 in the Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland.
Donald Glover is one of the most talented men in entertainment. Not only does he rap under his stage name Childish Gambino, but he's also a comedian, writer and actor. He's best known for starring as Troy Barnes in NBC's "Community" and formerly wrote for the comedy "30 Rock."
When Glover first began to rap most didn't take him seriously. Because of his comedic background, people expected him to be a gimmick similar to Saturday Night Live's comedic music group The Lonely Island. After releasing a slew of projects, people finally understood that he was a serious and credible rapper. In 2013, Glover released "Because the Internet," which is often regarded as his best work. The album tells a story and there's a screenplay written by Glover to accompany it. With the album, Glover created an entire universe; characters from the screenplay
even have their own Twitter accounts. His debut album, "Camp," was released in 2011.
"The Deep Web" tour is Glover's most innovative tour yet. There's even an app that goes along with the show called "Deep Web." The musician is encouraging fans to use it to get the full experience. During his performances there will be a screen behind the stage and the app is used like a message board for people to chat with each other before the show.
Glover is one of the most energetic live performers in rap. UC Santa Barbara's "The Daily Nexus" called Gambino's energy "a spectacle in itself" and said complimented the show's visuals, which included curtains of rain. The rapper is also known to use a live band.
Glover's upcoming performance has fans across campus enthusiastic. Josh Florez, a sophomore from Wichita, is a huge fan of Donald Glover's music, acting and comedy.
"I've seen him live before and he's great," he said. "I can't wait to see him again."
Tickets for "The Deep Web" tour are still available and can be purchased on the tour's website.

'300' sequel rules box office with $45.1M debut
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The shirtless warriors of the "300" sequel "Rise of an Empire" ravaged the post-Oscars box-office weekend with a domestic debut of $45.1 million, but an even bigger international haul of $87.8 million.
A
This image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Eva Green in the film: "300: Rise of an Empire."
Seven years after the original "300" became an unlikely, ultra-stylish, blood-soaked sensation, Warner Bros. "3-D follow-up showed considerable might at the box office. While "300: Rise of an Empire" didn't come close the North American debut of Zack Snyder's 2007 original ($70.9 million and without the benefit of 3-D ticket prices), it performed like a blockbuster overseas.
"Rise of an Empire," which with flexed torsos and R-rated bloodshed further chronicles the ancient battles of the Greeks and Persians, led a busy box-office weekend that also saw an Academy Awards bump for "12 Years a Slave" and one of the highest perscreen averages ever for Wes Anderson's European caper "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Though "300: Rise of an Empire" is excessively macho, Eva
Green — the film's fiercest presence — may have drawn females for what was always going to be a male-centric release. Whereas the female audience for the first "300" was only 29 percent, it was 38 percent for "Rise of an Empire."
"Talk about female empowerment," said Jeff Goldstein, head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros., of the "Casino Royale" actress.
Noting the popularity of 3-D and IMAX screenings for the movie, Goldstein credited the visual panache of producer Snyder (Noam Murro took over directing), who drew directly from Frank Miller's graphic novels: "He brings a lot to the screen that mesmerizes you."
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, said the "300" franchise "translates to virtually every culture. Every country can appreciate the visuals of these movies."
The week's other new wide release, 20th Century Fox's animated "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," opened in second with $32.5 million. Though the performance was better than some expected, it's a relatively low total for a film that cost about $140 million to make.
The film is based on the cartoon about a time-traveling boy and his brilliant dog from "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show." Some of the family film market was likely taken by Warner Bros.' hit "The Lego Movie," which added $11 million in its fifth weekend.
The Liam Neeson thriller "Non-Stop" slid to third place with $15.4 million in the Universal release's second weekend after topping the box office last week.
In limited release, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" made an astounding average of $200,000
on four screens in New York and Los Angeles. Fox Searchlight will expand the film by 65 to 75 theaters next week.
The specialty studio also celebrated the best picture Oscar win for "12 Years a Slave" with a notable bump of $2.2 million, even though it was released on DVD and video-on-demand
Tuesday. That was up 123 percent on the prior weekend for the film, which first opened in November.
"12 Years a Slave" drew even more international interest, where it made $9.1 million as moviegoers flocked to see the Academy Award winner.

Polygamous Utah family feels liberated by TV appearance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brady Williams' five wives, from left to right, Robyn, Nonie, Rhonda, Rosemary and Paulie, live in a polygamous community outside Salt Lake City. The newest Utah polygamous family are featured in a reality TV show.
SALT LAKE CITY — The newest Utah polygamous family featured in a reality TV show says sharing their story with a wide audience has been liberating.
Brady Williams and his five wives were a bit apprehensive ahead of the airing of a pilot episode in September, but they said this week an interview with The Associated Press that it felt liberating to be open about who they are and what they believe.
"It really is like coming out of the closet," said Brady Williams, 43. "It's very liberated."
His wives feel the same way, including his second, Robyn Williams, 40, who said, "I feel more free to just be who I am and not be so afraid."
The first of nine episodes of the show, "My Five Wives," airs Sunday on TLC. It chronicles
the life of Brady Williams, his five wives and their 24 children who live in a small rural community outside of Salt Lake City dominated by a branch of the fundamentalist Mormon church.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The family once belonged to the group, known as the Apostolic United Brethren, but withdrew during the mid-2000s after re-evaluating their core beliefs. Now, they practice polygamy not because they think they must to get to heaven, and avoid hell, but because they prefer the lifestyle.
the state. The ruling decriminalizes polygamy, making only bigamy — holding marriage licenses with multiple partners -illegal.
Their show begins airing in a social and political climate that has softened significantly toward plural families in recent years.
A federal judge in Utah struck down key parts of the state's polygamy laws in December, marking a victory for the Williams and hundreds of other polygamous families in
The family that brought that lawsuit against the state of Utah, Kody Brown and his four wives from TLC's "Sister Wives," is credited with helping create greater acceptance for plural families. Their show, which debuted in 2010 with footage of the family at their house in northern Utah, was ground-breaking in demonstrating to viewers across the country that not all polygamists are child predators like Warren jeffs, the imprisoned leader of a polygamous sect on the Utah - Arizona border.
The Williams family members said they don't expect viewers to be surprised by much, other than maybe how similar they are to non-polygamous families. It's normal
times five, the family jokes. Viewers will see tears, joy and quarrels, they said.
TLC is banking on viewers being fascinated by the unique dynamics of a plural family: regular family sit-down meetings among the adults where Brady Williams follows an
agenda written on a notepad; side-by-side multiplexes where they live and nightly family dinners where the children line up like kids in a school cafeteria to get their food.
Then there's the always-intriguing dynamic among the wives who share a husband.
"There haven't been any overt acts of disapproval," Brady Williams said. But he added, "We want to be able to feel comfortable in our own skin."

Higher-income students get more public money for education
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - It's not just colleges and universities that are shifting their financial aid from lower-income to higher-income students.
Tuition tax credits and other tax breaks to offset the cost of higher education - nearly invisible federal government subsidies for families that send their kids to college - also disproportionally benefit more affluent Americans.
So do tax-deductible savings plans and the federal work-study program, which gives taxpayer dollars to students who take campus jobs to help pay for their expenses.
The tax credits alone cost the government a combined $34 billion a year, or $1 billion more than is spent on Pell Grants, the direct government grants for low-income students.
And even though only one-fifth of American households earn more than $100,000 per year, that group got more than half of the deductions for tuition, fees and exemptions for dependent students, according to the Tax Policy Center, an independent research group run jointly by the centrist, and sometimes center-left Brookings Institution and Urban Institute.
"We might be sympathetic to those upper-income folks
This has occurred despite research showing that 13 out of 14 students whose families received tax breaks on tuition would have gone to college anyway.
who are struggling with what are — yes — extremely expensive private colleges," said Julie Strawn, a former senior fellow at the Center for Law and Social Policy, which advocates for greater access to college for the poor. "But do the tax credits really need to go to the wealthiest fifth of American households, which is what's happening now?"
Who gets tax-based student aid
A new coalition of advocacy organizations, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is pushing for the tax credits to be streamlined and redirected to the poor. The Gates Foundation is among the funders of The Hechinger Report and the Education Writers Association, which co-produced this story.
Though only 20 percent of U.S. households earn more than $100,000 a year, that group got more than half the deductions for tuition, fees and exemptions for dependent students. The percentage of education incentives for 2013, by income group:
And a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives sponsored by Democrat Danny Davis of Illinois and Republican Diane Black of Tennessee, co-chairs of the Tax Reform Working Group on Education, would gradually lower the income eligibility to $86,000 from the current $180,000.

"In general, federal financial aid was created to help low-income students go to college and the purpose of the tax credits was to make college more affordable for middle-income students," said Stephen Burd, a senior policy analyst at the New America Foundation. "The problem is that the tax credits are going beyond the middle class."

The court filing Friday came days before Glenda Sue Morgan is due Monday in U.S. District Court in Wichita for sentencing on one count of trafficking in goods bearing counterfeit trademarks.
WICHITA — A Wichita business owner has asked a federal court to spare her from serving prison time for trafficking in counterfeit luxury items, arguing publicity the case has received serves as a deterrent to future criminal conduct.
Morgan and her Wichita business, The Fabulous Store LLC, were indicted in April on charges of conspiracy and trafficking. In exchange for

"Ms. Morgan is sorry for her actions. Prior to these events, she had no criminal history.

Penner told the court that settlement negotiations are proceeding in that case, and her attorney argued that the civil lawsuit and any judgment ultimately imposed in it will further serve to deter her client from criminal behavior.

The store's business practices first came to light in 2009 after a postal carrier assigned to the store's route told the Department of Homeland Security the shop received about six to seven packages a month from China, according to a DHS affidavit.

Police surround participants in the pre-St. Patrick's Day "Blarney Blowout" near the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass., on Saturday.
'Blarney Blowout results in arrests
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMHERST, Mass. — An early St. Patrick's Day celebration around the University of Massachusetts' flagship campus known as "Blarney Blowout" spun out of control Saturday as police officers in riot gear arrested more than 70 people while dispersing massive crowds, including unruly students throwing beer cans and bottles.
Police said early Sunday that 73 people had been arrested and four officers suffered minor injuries after police spent the day attempting to disperse "several" large gatherings. Amherst Police Capt. Jennifer Gundersen said in a statement that police remained busy through Saturday night handling numerous reports of fights, noise and highly intoxicated individuals.
"It is extremely disturbing and unsafe. Perhaps one of the worst scenes we have ever had with drunkenness and unruliness," Gundersen told The Republican in Springfield. "It is extremely upsetting. It is very dangerous."
Most of the arrests came at an off-campus apartment complex, where large crowds began gathering Saturday morning for the annual event, which was started by bars to allow the students to celebrate the holiday before their spring break begins this week.
Police from the city, university and state troopers in riot gear converged on a crowd of about 4,000 people at an apartment complex shortly after noon, police said in a statement Saturday night. Police said party-goers were involved in destruction of property and, as officers began to disperse the crowd, they were pelted with glass bottles, beer cans and snowballs.
After handling the disturbance at the apartment complex, police say several thousand people assembled near a frat house and near an intersection. Authorities said they determined that the gathering became dangerous and ou
Police say pepper spray was used to disperse the crowds because of the size and "assaultive behavior."
Three officers were hurt when they were hit by bottles and one was injured while attempting to make an arrest, Gundersen said. None of the injuries required serious treatment.
Police say charges ranged from inciting to riot and failing to disperse to disorderly conduct, liquor law violations and assault and battery on officers. They said Sunday some have been released on bail while others have been held, depending on charges.
After police arrested several people at last year's "Blarney Blowout," the university warned students earlier this week that police would have an increased presence around town Saturday. Letters were also sent directly to students disciplined in the last year for alcohol-related misconduct.
UMass denounced the "unruly behavior" Saturday and spokesman Ed Blaguszewski said students who were arrested will be reviewed under the school's code of conduct and that sanctions could include suspension or expulsion.
Amherst Capt. Christopher Pronovost described the day as "mayhem" to the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
"This can't be in any way, shape or form be characterized as a party," he said. "This is destruction of property (and) assaultive behavior."
Collecting bottles and cans around the scene of the mayhem Saturday night, Amherst resident Raul Colon told the Gazette that the day's events looked like "a revolution, like in the countries that have revolutions between the students and the government."
Gundersen said that numerous participants in the revelry were also injured.

Topeka family returns home from Ukraine
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A Kansas couple and their four newly adopted children have made it home after a month in Ukraine, where they were stranded amid violence and civil unrest.
Topeka residents Don and Lisa Jenkins arrived in Ukraine on Feb. 2, where they hoped to finalize the adoptions of their four children by Valentine's Day, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
But when thousands of people took to the streets of Kiev to protest the government's movement toward Russia and away from possible ties to the European Union, those plans were put on indefinite hold.
"It's great to be back in America," Don Jenkins, 50, said minutes after he and his family arrived around 9 p.m. Saturday at Kansas City International
Airport. "We're excited to be home."
The family left Kiev at 6:30 a.m. Saturday, flew to Munich, Germany, before traveling to Chicago and then on to Kansas City, Mo. When their jet touched down at Chicago's O'Hare Airport on Saturday afternoon, the four adopted children — Tatiana, 17; Angela, 16; Natalie, 15; and Roman, 8 — officially became American citizens.
It took a couple hours for the children to go through customs in Chicago and nearly caused the Jenkinses to miss their flight to Kansas City. By the time they arrived in Missouri, the family was running on adrenaline, said Lisa Jenkins, 46.
When their trip ended Saturday, the family had crossed eight time zones and flew 5,409 miles.
"Everybody's really exhausted," she said. "At the same time, we're all so excited to finally be home."
The grueling 22-hour trip was a small price to pay for getting out of the international hot spot that Ukraine had become.
Much of the fighting in Kiev captured on television cameras and beamed around the world took place less than a mile from the apartment where the family was staying.
Though the fighting died down after about a week, the Jenkinses faced a seemingly never-ending series of delays in getting paperwork from the Ukrainian government that was required before they could leave the country.
The final passports and visas needed for the children were obtained Friday morning.

Big 12 teams will excite fans in the tournament
While Selection Sunday is less than a week away, starting Wednesday in
By Connor Oberkrom
sports@kansan.com
Lon Kruger, whose Oklahoma squad was picked to finish fifth in the conference after losing its top three scorers last season, has done much better than anticipated. The Sooners finished second in the conference with an identical overall record to Kansas with a seemingly depleted roster.
Kansas City, Mo., there's something that takes larger precedent for now
The Big 12 Conference has arguably contained the most depth this season. Joe Lunardi of ESPN currently has eight Big 12 teams making the NCAA Tournament. That's 80 percent of the league, which would be higher than the Big East when they had 11 out of 16 teams in 2011.
This year the National Coach of the Year has been a heated discussion with a plethora of names up for consideration, but two in the Big 12 have done as remarkable a job as anyone with their rosters.
Kruger recognized the strength of the Big 12 and said that it's unparalleled in comparison to the other
The Big 12 Tournament begins at the Sprint Center this week with many crazy stories and coaches who know how to handle them.
leagues.
"Kansas has separated themselves a little bit, but two through eight [seeds] there's not any difference," Kruger said. "I don't know any other conference that can say where two through eight there's no difference."
More importantly, Rick Barnes who was picked to finish second-to-last place in the Big 12 has worked wonders with even less talent this year.
Barnes, who was seen as a coach on the hot seat by many, has propelled himself into the National Coach of the Year discussion with ease. Texas is the No. 3 seed in the Big 12 Championship and has been a steady competitor all year in the Big 12.
Some teams will get an added chance to prove their resiliency after some hefty losing streaks that could have derailed their season.
Baylor is the No. 7 seed after starting
the conference season 2-8. which left many thinking it was out of the equation.
Oklahoma State is the No. 8 seed after plummeting down the standings with Marcus Smart. If OSU can beat Texas Tech on Wednesday, it will have the chance to play Kansas in the semifinals to decide the season series.
If any team can match talent with the No.1 seed Kansas, it's OSU, which handled Kansas in Stillwater, Okla., just a week ago.
The range of teams that can compete in this tournament is unmatched from other tournaments in recent memory.
It features first-round matchups that may as well be semifinals,including the Kansas State versus Iowa State game.
while the value of conference tournaments is obviously diminished from the regular season, the tournaments still provide a chance for more excitement, which fans are always up for.
On one side of the bracket this year is Oklahoma, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State, which would be good enough for a whole conference, but

from there the drop-off doesn't wane much. Fair or not, for now the NCAA tournament rewards teams that are able to bolster their resume through winning their conference tourney. It creates or teams trying to
While there was a little drama in trying to thwart Kansas from winning its 10th straight title, that excitement dwindled off in the end when Oklahoma and Texas weren't able to topple the perennial power in the last few games as Kansas held on to the title. The table is now reset. So is the drama
incentive for teams trying to find the right matchup in the NCAA tournament.
Kansas City will garner attention from the entire college basketball world. It's known as one of the biggest hubs in college basketball TV ratings and this weekend will be no different.

Wiggins proves himself, earns career high
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
When Andrew Wiggins chose to come to Kansas, there
was excitement and anticipation because of the unknown.
to be?
Would he be able to score at will? Can he set any freshman records? What's his highlight dunk going to look like? What's his career high going
On Saturday we got our answers.
Yes, he can score at will.
Yes, he'll certainly hold a few freshman records, his high-light dunk is going to look something like him floating over the paint at West Virginia. His career-high is 41.
It wasn't so much a question of "would it happen?" as "when would it happen?"
Good luck remembering if Kansas won that game or not.
Not that it makes a difference either way. There were numerous reasons why a loss didn't matter at West Virginia.
But the most important answer that most Kansas fans received had nothing to do with individual accomplishments.
"I just tried to play very active because we were down the whole game," Wiggins told the media after the 92-86 loss.
It did have everything to do with Andrew Wiggins.
Now we know just how far he can be pushed.
With Andrew Wiggins on the floor, the Jayhawks are seldom out of game.
Not when they're far from home, not when they are down by 20 points and not when the rest of the team is having an off night.
NCAA Tournament teams be warned, this is the Andrew Wiggins you were looking for. This is why every school in the nation would've traded its roster to get the Canadian pro
And there will be off nights. No team in America wins six in a row without finding a way to win a game it shouldn't — it's a staple of coach Bill Self's philosophy.
prospect. This is what's going to give Kansas its best chance to win a National Championship.
The actualization of Wiggins' takeover was in some ways the missing piece for these Jayhawks. Sure he was counted on to make it happen before, see Texas Tech, Kansas State and Florida for further examples, but he had never been able to do it with so much stacked against him.
But then the shots kept falling, his confidence kept growing and his team kept coming back.
Whether or not Joel Embid will be healthy enough for the Jayhawks to play him significant minutes in the next few weeks suddenly seems a little less troublesome.
"There's nobody in America that will have a better game than what Andrew had," Self told the media.
And no one is going to remember if Kansas won or lost
It took the entire regular sea son for "The Andrew Wiggins Game" to materialize. And really there couldn't have been a better time for it to happen.
at least not against West Virginia.

Senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge braces for the impact at the plate during last year's game against Texas. Kansas suffered its first series loss of the season this weekend against Stanford. "Anytime their guy is throwing his off-speed stuff for strikes, he's hard to hit," said Eldredge, referring Stanford's Quantrill who threw a complete game shutout yesterday.

Jayhawks face their first series loss of the season

I BEN FELDERSTEIN
Pitching was the theme in yesterday's final game between Kansas and Stanford. Freshman Cal Quantrill got the start for the Cardinals while Kansas senior Frank Duncan looked to keep his strong start to the season going.
The game was scoreless until the Cardinals broke the tie in the fourth inning when freshman outfielder Alex Dunlap drove in senior first baseman Danny Diekroeger with an RBI single.
Duncan had another strong outing, pitching eight innings and allowing only one run. He

allowed four hits while striking out four and only walking one. Duncan's strong efforts came up short as he recorded his first loss of the 2014 season.
"I'm just filling up the zone," Duncan said. "I'm putting myself in good positions and throwing strikes."
Quantrill threw a complete game shutout allowing only four hits while striking out seven.
"He was throwing his slider for strikes," senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge said. "Anytime their guy is throwing his off-speed stuff for strikes, he's hard to hit."
The freshman entered the game with a 6.75 ERA and a
1-2 record in four appearances. Quantrill was able to neutralize the strong Jayhawk lineup, handing them their third loss on the season.
"He was dominant," coach Ritch Price said. "We had a chance late and just couldn't get the clutch hit. He was as advertised."
Kansas' offense was silenced at the plate yesterday, as they were only able to rack up four hits. The Jayhawks entered the series against Stanford with one of the more high-powered offenses in the country. They were batting .335 and scored 108 runs on 141 hits.
Junior outfielder Connor McKay is tied for the Big 12
lead in home runs (four) and leads the conference in RBIs (24). The slugging outfielder combined for five RBIs and five hits in the first two games of the season, but was held hitless in yesterday's game.
The Jayhawks entered the series with four players in the top five in runs scored amongst the 10 Big 12 teams this season. Sophomore infielder Tommy Mirabelli lead the way with 15 while fellow infielder Justin Protocio entered the weekend series with 14. Protocio crossed home plate twice this weekend and passed his double-play partner for number one on the list.
"The whole team feels good,"
Duncan said. "We feel like we're in a great position and we can beat any team in the country."
The Jayhawks were not able to get the big hit they needed on Sunday. Kansas left eight men on base throughout the game compared to only three by Stanford.
The weekend series against Stanford was a tiring one. Kansas won its first game of the series, which was a 13-inning thriller that ended in the early hours of the morning.
said. "The whole weekend went that way, we could have came out with a sweep."
Saturday, the Jayhawks rallied from five runs down only to come up short and fall 5-4.
Sunday's loss gave Kansas their first series loss of the season and dropped their record to 12-3.
"We were one or two big hits away from a win," Eldredge
Kansas will play their first home game of the season tomorrow against Oral Roberts University. First pitch is at 3 p.m., and the forecast finally calls for playable weather.
"We're excited to play in front of our home crowd," Duncan said. "We've been on the road for so long, and we're ready to come back home."

GAME TO REMEMBER
Andrew Wiggins, guard
Good luck remembering what the final score of the West Virginia game was when you tell your friends, or relatives, or kids about this game years from now. All you'll remember is all Wiggins everything. The freshman had his most impressive performance to date with every facet of his game working to perfection. Wiggins finished with 41 points, eight rebounds, five steals, four blocks and two assists before fouling out.

GAME TO FORGET
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Tharpe played 16 minutes on Saturday but it's hard to remember a single one. Hopefully for Kansas fans, he feels the same way. The junior missed all three of his field goal attempts while scoring zero points with one steal and one turnover. The sooner he can move past this game, the better off the Jayhawks will look heading into tournament season.

UNSUNG HERO
Jamari Traylor, forward
In the last half of the season no player has made as drastic an improvement as the Chicago sophomore. Since conference play began, Traylor is shooting 76 percent from the field (33 of 43) and has become a notable force in the paint in transition. His hustle has led to plays, such as his monster block on
Juwan Staten late in the first half on Saturday.

Jayhawks' lack of energy leads to loss against Baylor
KYLE PAPPAS
sports@kansan.com
It was clear that Baylor hadn't quite shaken the image of Kansas celebrating Baylor's unlikely upset on Jan. 19. The Jayhawks mobbed each other at mid-court of Allen Fieldhouse while the Bears walked off the court with their first conference loss.
"I guess we knew we had to come out with more intensity," Baylor freshman guard Imiani Wright said. "We still remember the loss that we took, so we felt like we needed to start fast and keep it going."
Baylor (27-4, 16-2 Big 12) handily defeated the Jayhawks (13-19, 5-13 Big 12) 81-47 on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 women's tournament. The 34-point loss was their worst of the season.
Kansas couldn't get much offense going after falling behind by 16 after only eight minutes of play. The Jayhawks were ice cold from the floor, shooting only 26.5 percent (9-34) as the Bears limited clean opportunities.
The Jayhawks were fairly efficient in the paint; their guard play was what ultimately cost them a shot at a second upset. Of the Jayhawks' four starting guards, only two converted a field goal, combining to shoot 12 percent (2-17) in the first half. It would prove too much for coach Bonnie Henrickson's squad to overcome.
"We've got to shoot the ball
better to get Chelsea [Garden] some room," Henrickson said. "We've got to give her some room to play."
Gardner was Kansas' only legitimate offensive threat; she finished with 11 points and converted its only free throw in the first. But, the junior forward was again limited by early foul trouble and her teammates' inefficiency as the Bears
"They came out and ran a buzz saw and we didn't have an answer defensively."
BONNIE HENRICKSON Coach
began keying in on taking her out of the game.
Forward Nina Davis, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, was dominant for Baylor, scoring 18 points and grabbing five rebounds in just the first half. Senior guard Odyssey Sims, Big 12 Player of the Year, contributed 11 points as well, creating several chances for teammates in the process. The Bears held a 46-20 lead entering halftime.
"It first started with Odyssey pressuring the defense and we just followed her lead," Baylor sophomore guard Niya Johnson said.
Things weren't much different in the second half. Kansas, possibly exhausted from its 87-84 overtime victory against
Kansas State on Friday night, showed a visible lack of energy out of the locker room. The layhawks were never able to mount a serious run, managing a meager 22 field goal attempts after the second half despite trailing by double digits.
They turned the ball over 20 times as well,10 in the first,10 in the second,in surely one of their most disappointing performances of the year.
“[Baylor] just looked at us and said, ‘We're going to rip it and drive on you and offensive rebound and get you in transition,’ Henrickson said. “They came out and ran a buzz saw and we didn't have an answer defensively.”
Gardner finished with 21 points and nine rebounds, falling just short of her 14th double-double of the season. Senior guard CeCe Harper scored no points on 0-6 shooting in her last game as a Jayhawk.
After losing three 1,000-point scorers from last season, not much was expected from Kansas in 2013-14, but the loss is disheartening for Henrickson's squad nonetheless. It showed promise at times throughout the year, but never was quite able to put it all together on a consistent basis.

Jayhawks pick up four more wins at Florida tournament
AMIE JUST
sports@kansan.com
Coming away with four straight wins, the Jayhawks (15-7) slugged their way through the Under Armour Classic in Tampa, Fla.
The first game of the tournament was the only loss of the weekend for Kansas. Kansas faced Northwestern (15-5) and was up with an early lead in the bottom of the first innning. The Wildcats came back swinging in the fourth inning, taking a 3-2 lead over the Jayhawks. Kansas tried for a comeback in the seventh, but couldn't cross the last runner to force extra innings. Kansas lost 4-3. The only Kansas batter to have multiple hits was junior utility player Maddie Stein.
"I like the fight [from our team]," coach Megan Smith said. "Northwestern punched us with four runs, but we kept fighting back and just kind of
ran out of time."
After the loss to Northwestern, Kansas didn't look back. In the second game off against University of South Florida (16-7), a team that has played many ranked opponents. Kansas didn't let that phase them as they delivered a 9-3 rout of the Bulls. Leading the Jayhawks were sophomore infielder Chaley Brickey and freshman catcher Harli Ridling. Both Brickey and Ridling hammered a home run, having three RBIs each. The home runs were the third of the season for both Jayhawks.
Letting the momentum from Friday carry them into Saturday morning, Kansas took on St. John's (7-11). Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Kessler (8-5) allowed only four hits while striking out 10.
"Offensively, we were locked in at the beginning and had a lot of intensity at the plate and got really good at bats," Smith said. "The difference in this game was that we kept putting pressure on them which was good to see our offense do."
“[Kelsey] looked great,” said Smith. “She gave up two big hits [on Friday] and then
are going to lead our offense and they are doing a great job for us" Smith said.
In the second game of the day, Kansas faced Utah (9-7). Junior pitcher Alicia Pille (5-2) allowed just four hits, one run, and committed one error
"I like the fight [from our team]. Northwestern punched us with four runs, but we kept fighting back and just kind of ran out of time."
MEGAN SMITH Coach
bounced back and just dominated. She threw the ball really well. She moved the ball and kept them off balance."
Leading the way for Kansas batters were Brickey and Ridling, as they both posted individual home runs. Ridling had two RBIs, with Brickey accounting for one.
"Those two and Maddie Stein
on the day. Pille also accounted for six strikeouts in the contest.
"Pille came out determined," Smith said. "She threw extremely well and had that mental lapse in the last inning. Today she came out in the last inning and was ready to go, mentally tough and went right at them."
Brickey recorded her third consecutive game with a home run, giving her two RBIs that evening. Junior infielder Chanin Naudin added a hit and two RBI for the Jayhawks for the 4-1 win over the Utes.
In the final game of the tournament, Kansas took on LIU Brooklyn, a game that was long overdue. Earlier in the season, the Jayhawks were to take on the Blackbirds, but the contest was rained out.
"Chanin is very poised up at the plate and battles," Smith said. "She's really good at not taking one at bat to the next. She was locked in and came through for us."
The game against LIU Brooklyn was the second shutout of the tournament for Kansas, winning 6-0. Kessler pitched in both shutout games, recording two straight, her fifth of the season, and 12th of her career.
"Our pitchers have been dominant the last two days
to only give up one run," Smith said. "Kelsey kept them off-balance and just went right at them."
Brickey's home run streak came to an end, but she still recorded two hits on two runs and a base on balls. Stein also had two hits and added two RBIs.
“[Maddie] is just a poised hitter,” Smith said. “She is really good at doing her job and her job is to drive in runs. She gets up there and she is confident, has good at bats and she executes for us.”
Kansas will return to action on Tuesday when they host the 2014 season opener with a double header against South Dakota State at Arrocha Ballpark. The opening pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Patrick Reed wins Cadillac Championship in Florida
END OF ENDEAVOR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Patrick Reed celebrates his win at the Cadillac Championship golf tournament on Sunday in Doral, Fla.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DORAL, Fla. — Patrick Reed felt he belongs among the best in the world. He beat them all Sunday in the Cadillac Championship.
Dressed in a red shirt that he always wears in the final round — with Tiger Woods in the group ahead of him — Reed made back-to-back birdies early on the front nine to build a big lead and showed off a great short game when the pressure was building on the new Blue Monster at Doral.
Equipped with a two-shot lead, the 23-year-old Texan wisely played the final hole conservatively. He two-putted for bogey and closed with an even-par 72 for a one-shot victory over Bubba Watson and jamie Donaldson of Wales.
Reed became the youngest winner of a World Golf Championship, his third win in his last 14 tournaments.
Woods, only three shots behind going into the final round in his best chance this year to win a tournament, said his back flared up after an awkward shot out of the bunker on the sixth hole. He failed to make a birdie in the final round for the first time in his PGA Tour career, and his 78 was his worst Sunday score ever.
Reed is expected to go to No. 20 in the world ranking. In his own ranking, he feels he belongs in the top five.
He cited an amateur career that includes going 6-0 in matches to lead Augusta State to two NCAA titles, followed by three PGA Tour wins in seven months.
"I don't see a lot of guys that have done that besides Tiger Woods and the legends of the game," Reed said. "I believe in myself, especially with how hard I've worked. I'm one of the top five players in the world. I feel like I've proven myself."
This was not an accident, either.
He joined some exclusive company. Since 1990, only Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIrroy and Sergio Garcia had three PGA Tour wins before turning 24.
Reed has had a share of the lead going into the final round of all three of his victories — the Wyndham Championship last August, the Humana Challenge in January and a World Golf Championship at Doral that featured the strongest field so far this year.
His last two wins were wireto-wire, including ties.
Watson, who won at Riviera three weeks ago, went bogey-free over the final 27 holes, a strong performance on the overhauled Trump National
Doral. He closed with a 68, finishing with par after blasting through the palms, into the grandstand and back into the rough.
Donaldson wasn't so fortunate. He hit into a foot on the 17th for his third birdie on the back nine to get within one shot of the lead. From the 18th fairway — after watching Miguel Angel Jimenez go through the green and into the water — he blocked his approach away from the flag and into the back bunker. Donaldson blasted out to just inside 15 feet and missed the par putt. He closed with a 70.
Reed finished at 4-under 284, matching the highest winning score at Doral. Mark McCumber won at 284 in 1985.
Reed, Donaldson and Watt
son were the only players to finish under par.
Dustin Johnson, who lost momentum around the turn, made double bogey on the 18th hole for a 72 and tied for fourth with Richard Sterne (71).
Woods went into the final round with a chance to win for the first time all year.
It didn't last very long.
He beamed and bloodied a spectator on the opening hole and missed a 10-foot birdie putt. He beamed another spectator on No.3, kicking the ball back into the fairway, only he followed that with a shot into the water and made bogey. Woods made two more bogeys over the next three holes and was an afterthought. He said the pain intensified after his
bunker shot on the sixth.
"That's what set it off and then it was done after that," he said. "Just see if I could actually manage ... keep the spasms at bay."
Woods had his left foot in the sand and his right foot flexed against the lip of the bunker.
The results are not very promising on his short road to the Masters. Woods has played only four tournaments, and only twice went 72 holes. He missed the 54-hole cut at Torrey Pines, tied for 41st in Dubai and withdrew after 13 holes in the final round of the Honda Classic last week.
He is scheduled to make only one more start — Bay Hill in two weeks — before Augusta National.

sports@kansan.com
No.19 Tulsa handed the No.33 Kansas women's tennis team its third straight loss on Saturday, dominating the Jayhawks 6-1. The Jayhawks are now 8-3 on the season.
The fight for the doubles point was a tough one. Tulsa jumped ahead on court three with an 8-5 victory over senior Claire Dreyer and freshman Morgan Barnhill. Kansas tied it up on court two with an 8-5 win from sophomore Maria Cardona and junior Maria Ludueña. There was a hard-fought battle on court one from seniors Dylan Windom and Paulina Los, but the pair eventually fell to their opponents with an 8-6 loss, giving the Tulasa the doubles point.
On the singles courts, the Hurricanes proved to be too much for the Jayhawks, winning five out of six matches
on the day. The only Kansas win came from Los who downed her opponent 7-5, 6-3. On court one, No. 70 nationally ranked Samantha Vickers of Tulsa gave Cardona a tough time, sweeping the match 6-0, 6-0.
Over on court three, Ludueña battled with No. 109 ranked Yelena Nemchen in a tough match that eventually led to a tiebreaker. Nemchen would get the best of Ludueña, who won the tiebreaker 11-9.
The Jayhawks will look to recover from Friday's defeat this weekend at Iowa State in their first Big 12 Match of the year. The Cyclones come into Friday's match with a record of 8-5 and are looking to bounce back from this weekend's loss to Drake. Matches begin at 3 p.m. this Friday in Ames, Iowa.

Kansas prepares for Louisiana Classics
The Kansas Men's Golf team will head south on Monday and Tuesday to Lafayette, La., for the Louisiana Classics Invitational. The team will hit the links just a few weeks after its 15th place finish in Palm Desert, Calif., at the University of Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate.
The Jayhawks will be led by sophomore Ben Welle, fresh off shooting (+2) overall at the tournament in Palm Desert, and 4-under par 68 on the final round.
Freshman Chase Hanna from Leawood should also provide the Jayhawks with some good holes. He led the team at Palm Desert with a three-round 213 (-3).
"Ben Welle and Chase Hanna have played really well," said coach Jamie Bermel. "But we need to get some better help from our fourth and fifth spots."
It is crucial for players such as sophomore Connor Peck, and juniors Logan Philley and Jackson Foth, to shoot well if Kansas hopes to make the podium Tuesday evening.

Junior Zunwu Zhou does a trick on his BMX on Wescoe Beach, Zhou first became a fan of the sport at age 14.

For most people, riding a bike is something to do to enjoy the weather in May or to get a little exercise. But Zunwu Zhou isn't most people.
There's a good chance that you've seen Zhou, a junior from Wuhan, China, on Wescoe Beach whirling and piroueting his bicycle motocross (BMX) bike across the empty swaths of concrete with an unconscious ease that can only come from years of practice.
Zhou has taken a subculture that fascinates him and developed it into a fully-fledged lifelong passion. He can be seen almost daily pursuing his passion for BMX.
"It's impressive. Not only is he pulling off ridiculous tricks, he is doing it in front of everybody on campus. That's a high risk of injury and a high risk of embarrassment." said Luke Huttner, a freshman from Minnetonka, Minn. who sees Zhou on campus frequently. "He makes campus an interesting place to be."
Zhou's relationship with BMX began as fandom when he was 14 years old. He began watching clips of X-Games BMX riders in America like Matt Wilhelm and Terry Adams performing seemingly gravity-defying tricks like the "Time Machine," a trick that involves the rider flipping the bike on its side and on one wheel and spinning it at high speeds in a tight circle.
Almost immediately, Zhou was hooked on the sport.
"I just thought it was so cool," Zhou said. "At that time, nobody in my city was doing BMX, and I thought it would be so cool to do be doing something that nobody else was doing."
Zhou's transition from BMX fan to practitioner happened
swiftly when he downloaded online how-to videos and convinced his parents to buy him his first bike. Looking back, Zhou chuckles and jokes about his first bike in a manner similar to how many suburban American teenagers joke about their first cars.
"It was a really crappy bike," Zhou said. "It was old-school, and really heavy. It weighed at least three times what my current bike does."
After about a week of practicing, Zhou was ecstatic about being able to perform a handful of basic tricks. At that point, Zhou says he was officially "addicted." He began to ride his bike in the concrete jungle of Wuhan for three to four hours every day, rain or shine, scouring the city for the best stretches of empty concrete to hone his skills on.
Although his parents were mostly supportive of Zhou's BMX career, they made it clear to him that school came first, something that Zhou is thankful for. He readily admits that studying in America is an expensive venture, and that his family wouldn't be able to completely finance the costs of studying abroad if it weren't for the scholarships he earned from the University.
In addition to the importance of school, Zhou's parents impressed on him the possibilities that awaited him in America.
"Ever since I was a little kid, my dad always told me that the United States is the greatest country in the world, and that if I wanted to have freedom and be able to live the life I want, the United States is the place to be," Zhou said. "I want to live here for the rest of my life."
When he first arrived to campus as a freshman, the first thing he did after getting settled was take a walk around campus to find the best riding
spot. By the end of the day, Zhou was making himself at home on Wescoe Beach.
Now, three years later, Zhou can still be found on Wescoe Beach and around campus perfecting his skills for as many as five hours a day. People frequently approach him to compliment him on his tricks and ask for pictures and videos; however, Zhou says
that he is only recognized as the "BMX guy" when he has his bike with him. When he is in class or walking around without his bike, he is just another anonymous student, not a campus celebrity.
"I've never seen him, but my friends have talked about seeing him around campus," said Jason Kor, a sophomore from Olathe who has yet
to catch a glimpse of Zhou.
"Every time I walk down
Jayhawk Boulevard, I look
around to see if he's out there
but I haven't managed to catch him yet."
Students like Jason will have an abundance of chances to catch Zhou in action over the next few months, as the campus legend has no intentions of hanging up his
wheels anytime soon.
"Some people go running every single day. I'm just like everyone else that has a passion, mine just happens to be BMX," Zhou said, insisting that BMX will never stop being a part of who he is. "I'm going to be riding my bike until I can't ride anymore."

Embiid out until second round of NCAA tournament
CAMS
Joel Embiid sits out against Texas Tech on Wednesday, March 5. Embiid has been sidelined and met with a back specialist in Los Angeles.

In his weekly teleconference Monday morning, Kansas coach Bill Self was optimistic that the freshman center would be available for the NCAA Tournament and potentially even the Big 12 Tournament this week. Self said Embiid, who is currently in the middle of the rehabilitation process, hasn't responded as quickly to the treatment as originally planned. The Cameroon native is expected to make a full recovery within a few weeks, meaning he could return in the Sweet Sixteen, should the team make it that far.
After visiting a spinal specialist in Los Angeles on Monday, Joel Embid has been ruled out for the Big 12 Tournament and likely the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, a Kansas Athletics press release confirms.
The injury occurred on Feb. 8 in a win against West Virginia. Embibd only played 18 minutes in the team's next game — an overtime loss to Kansas State — and would sit out the next game against TCU. He played in the team's next three games before sitting out the final two. In the last game he played, March 1 against Oklahoma State, he was noticeably hampered by the injury.
"Everyone is 100 percent confident that Joel will heal and be back to normal soon, but the most important thing is that he gets well." Self said in the press release. "We're certainly not going to put him out there unless the doctors, his family and Joel are ready for him to go. I know how bad he wants it, and that he will work his butt off to put him in a position where if our team is successful and fortunate enough to advance, he could return in later rounds."
important Embiid is, turn to Saturday's game against West Virginia, where Self said his team was exposed without him. Kansas (23-8, 14-4 Big 12) was outrebounded 37-31 by one of the smallest teams in the Big 12. WVU freshman forward Devin Williams scored a career-high 22 points and went 8-for-10 from the field. When Embiid played against the Mountaineers four weeks ago at Allen Fieldhouse, Williams scored four points, made one field goal and fouled out of the game.

"When he's healthy and playing well, he has the potential to impact the game on both ends as much as anybody in the country," Self said in the teleconference.
Embidid, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, is the team's leading rebounder and ranks second in the conference in blocks. His 72 blocks this season set a Kansas freshman
"Our team feels bad for Joel," Self said. "But this in no way changes our original postseason goals and our team will rally around this."
In the three games Embiid has missed, Kansas has gone 2-1, although the two wins came against the two worst teams in the Big 12. Both wins were blowouts and featured dominating performances from sophomore forward Perry Ellis (career-high 32 points against TCU) and senior forward Tarik Black (19 points, 9-9 from the field against Texas Tech).

"He's about as good a rim protector as there is defensively," Self said.

In 28 games this season, Embiid has averaged 11.2 points and 8.1 rebounds.

Lawyer teaches new LGBTQ course
HAYLEY FRANCIS news@kansan.com
Lawrence attorney David Brown is teaching a new lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer seminar in the KU School of Law this semester. Brown has represented gay and lesbian clients including two LGBTQ couples that recently sued the state of Kansas for the ability to file joint income tax returns. In a recent interview, Brown discussed his course and the impact of the latest court decisions. The following are excerpts from the interview.
Kansan: Why did you decide to teach this new course at the law school?
Brown: It's just a law school class. I don't want to get carried away about it, but what I do think is important is that it has clearly fostered some discussion about LGBT rights. And I think that's a good thing. I do know for a fact that some other professors on campus are talking about the fact that this class exists. There are other similar classes on campus in different schools and kind of on different agendas but I think the discussion of these topics, particularly given the headlines of the news, is really important. And I think having students at the law school addressing those issues and being part of that
conversation is a good thing for the campus.
Brown: It's an exciting area of law and things are changing all the time, and while the law school addressed some of these issues in various classes, there was no consolidated approach. And, furthermore, I think it's the kind of thing where the law is changing every day and it's good for students to kind of address (LGTBQ issues) and learn how to deal with things that are changing on a somewhat frequent basis.
I think it's the most excited civil rights area of law that we've got going. I mean we've gone through several other civil rights battles over time, but this is currently the hot topic. And as lawyers they need to be aware of the issues that are involved and ways to protect their clients' rights.
Kansan: How do you think the course will impact students and the campus as a whole?
Lawrence attorney David Brown will teach a course covering LGBTQ legal issues at the KU School of Law this year.
Kansan: Why did you get involved with LGBTQ law?
1
Brown: I had lots of gay and lesbian friends even before I became a lawyer. And when I opened my practice there weren't lawyers who were helping people in that community. And lawyers that they did go to didn't understand the issues and gave some bad advice. So realistically before I opened my office, I was helping couples.
Talking to students, a lot of people have heard about LGBTQ rights and marriage laws in the news but are still unsure of exactly what is going on. Can you explain to them the current status nationally?
Brown: When we talk about folks who live in Kansas, for Social Security benefits under the current status of things, they don't necessarily qualify. Because even if they were married legally in Iowa, and now they live in Kansas, the federal government has to abide by that (Kansas) statute.
On the state level in some contexts it gets simpler because you can simply
Kansan: Where does Kansas stand?
Brown: Whenever the (United States v. Windsor) decision came down, what the court decided in that case was that on the federal level, the federal government has to recognize same-sex unions, assuming folks were married legally. And that includes marriages out-of-state, out-of-country, wherever you got married if it was legal wherever you were married, then the federal government has to recognize it for federal government purposes. And that seems like a simple solution, except even on the federal level it's complicated because of things like Social Security. By federal law, it would seem as though everyone ought to qualify for Social Security benefits. The statutes enacting Social Security, however, say that in terms of determining people's relationships - i.e. are they married, are there really children, those kinds of things - all depend on the states of residents of the parties.
say "Well Kansas doesn't recognize same-sex marriage." That's the simple statement. It has all sorts of weird ramifications for folks who are legally married from other states however.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Kansan: You recently successfully represented two KU alumni who married in Iowa and wanted a divorce here. What does that decision mean for other Kansas residents who identify as LGBTQ?
Brown: The difficulty is that technically Kansas doesn't recognize the marriage, so technically it can't grant a divorce.
It's complicated because there are at least three, and probably more, different approaches the district court judges take when a divorce decision from a same-sex couple is filed.
The first option is to say that the marriage is not valid in Kansas, therefore there's no jurisdiction for the court to hear the case, because in order to grant a divorce the court has to decide that it's a valid marriage.
If you do live in Kansas and
The second approach the court does essentially the same kind of thing. It reviews the petition and says, "Well, the marriage is not valid in Kansas." But the annulment statutes in Kansas allow a court to treat an invalid marriage for division purposes. And the court can then declare the marriage as invalid and divide all the marital assets and award custody of children and do everything a court can do in a divorce.
The one I've been successful with is to file a petition for divorce. The court reviews the petition, decides the divorce is valid for purposes of granting a divorce, grants the divorce, terminates the marriage, and does the necessary steps that are required in terms of issuing property and custody and whatever else is issued.

your marriage should go bad and want to get divorced, there's no remedy for it. You can't do anything.
But there are other problems too. Let's take that same couple. They go to Iowa, they get married, they come back. When they fill out the job
application it says single or married. What do they check? When they get their driver's license can they get their new name on the driver's license? All of these things pose major

Organizations foster abortion debate on campus

YES NO

A Justice For All poll asks "should abortion remain legal?" on Jayhawk Boulevard. Holly Meath, a Justice For All intern, said signs like these are conversation starters, designed to invite any passersby to engage.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
justice for All, a national anti-abortion advocacy group, visited campus to engage students in individual discussions yesterday.
Anti-abortion and proabortion rights groups, Justice For All and the Commission on the Status of Women at KU respectively, are advocating on campus again today.
The Commission on the Status of Women at KU, a feminist student organization, hosted a pro-abortion rights peaceful protest next to Justice For All on the Stauffer-Flint lawn.
Justice For All provided information saying life starts at fertilization, a sign with a picture of a first trimester fetus, quotations from scientists saying that fetuses are human beings, a sign with a spectrum of reasons for abortion ranging from the fetus being a result of rape to the fetus being female, a sign representing human life as continuous from fertilization stages through pregnancy and old age, a whiteboard asking students to write their opinions, a poll with the question "Should abortion remain legal?" and volunteers to facilitate discussions with students.
These are conversation starters, designed to invite any passersby to engage, said Holly Meath, a Justice for All intern, training specialist and logistics coordinator. The group came to campus to start dialogues.
"College campuses are some of the best places to do outreach on this issue." Meath
Justice For All volunteers are trained to listen to students' opinions, find common beliefs and "see if they can work to get closer to the truth together," she said.
said.
"Mostly, we just want to give people something that they can think about, help them see it in a new light, to continue processing it and to take it seriously," Meath said.
Justice For All visits the University about once a year. Meath said Justice For All was invited to the University of Kansas by the Culture of Life Club. The Culture of Life Club's president declined to comment.
The Commission on the Status of Women at KU sets up a table when Justice For All is on campus. Yesterday, the group provided informational pamphlets, signs with slogans like "I am not an incubator", sidewalk chalk, and the presence of the Ecumenical Campus Ministry pastor
and a Planned Parenthood representative.

are students for choice on this campus, and to say what choice means."
Gwynn described Justice For All's anti-abortion images of fetuses as triggering and aggressive.
"I think college kids would think this type of argument is very manipulative," Gwynn said.
Anna O'Connor, a graduate student from Emporia, has seen Justice for All on campus for the past five years.
A Justice For All volunteer engaged her in a conversation after she responded to their poll yesterday. They began by speaking abstractly about human rights. O'Connor said that although general discussion doesn't change her belief in abortion rights, she liked that both groups could get their message out.
"I don't mind it," O'Connor said. "It creates awareness. Not everyone is going to hop online and research prochoice or anti- just for fun in their spare time."
Alex Brown, a senior from
Omaha, Neb., had seen Justice For All on campus several times before. Brown said he wanted to demonstrate that pro-abortion rights advocates' beliefs can be as informed and adamant as anti-abortion advocates' beliefs. He enjoys debating and said he wanted to offer them a different perspective on subjective morality, the role of legislature and the prevalence of unsafe abortions when abortions are made illegal.
"My beliefs are very stern," Brown said. "They're not going to change. I wasn't going in there to find more information about abortion."
Brown's discussion lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. He said they shook hands and walked away respectfully, knowing neither sides' opinions had changed.
Both Justice For All and CSW groups will advocate again today on the Stauffer-Flint lawn.

Lawmakers review KS school funding
ASSOCIATED PRESS
House Speaker Ray Merrick said the chamber's budget-writing Appropriations Committee, dominated by a majority of Republicans, will handle school funding legislation, setting aside work on all other spending issues in order to find the school finance solution quickly.
TOPEKA — A key Kansas legislator said Monday he was ordering the House budget committee to begin work on resolving school funding issues after last week's state Supreme Court ruling.
Boosting aid to poor districts could come out to $129 million a year, the state Department of Education said Friday.
"Bear with us," the Stilwell Republican said Monday. He also discouraged any legislative efforts to rewrite the funding formula before legislators adjourn in May.
The court ruled Friday that the state must boost aid to poor school districts, giving legislators until July 1 to address the problems. It also ordered a lower court to determine how much more the state must spend on schools.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt told House Republicans that Friday's ruling was a shift in focus from previous court opinions in that it gave legislators latitude in how they change two funds for poor school districts.
"You now know what to shoot for," said Schmidt, a Republican and former Senate majority leader.
"If we do that we will end up making a lot of mistakes,"

Colorado collects $2M in recreational pot taxes
Merrick said, adding that Republicans should "set aside your love for your school districts."
Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, disagreed with Republicans who believe correcting two aid categories for poor districts would be enough to settle any question if the overall amount spent was adequate. Ward predicted the state would have to spend hundreds of millions more on schools, but not any time soon.
The criteria used in Kansas and other states comes from a 1989 Kentucky school finance case, which established seven requirements for measuring schools and students. They include knowledge of government, communication skills, appreciation for arts, history and culture and the preparation for college or career upon graduation.
Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, said her chamber also would work on a bill to address the ruling, though she didn't rule out making other small changes to the funding formula as time permits.
The tax total reported by the state Department of Revenue indicates $14.02 million worth
DENVER — Colorado made roughly $2 million in marijuana taxes in January, state revenue officials reported Monday in the world's first accounting of the recreational not business.
However, Schmidt said, the debate has changed from determining if actual costs of education are being covered by all funding sources to whether outcomes already in Kansas law are being met.
Schmidt, who had a similar meeting with Senate Republicans, said that the court offered a "respectful" ruling in that it recognized the role of the Legislature to set education policy, as well as the total amount of money that is spent on public schools.

Colorado legalized pot in 2012, but the commercial sale of marijuana didn't begin until January. Washington state sales begin in coming months.

The pot taxes come from 12.9 percent sales taxes and 15 percent excise taxes. Including licensing fees and taxes from Colorado's pre-existing medical

KU Celebrates National Nutrition Month Options and services abound throughout KU Dining
CLAUDIA LARKIN clarkin@ku.edu
March is the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics National Nutrition Month*. KU Dining Services participates in this event each year to inform the KU Community on nutrition-related topics and to remind KU diners of the myriad of food options available from all 22 campus dining locations.
"At KU Dining, we keep in step with the needs and appetites of today's campus diner," said Nona Golledge, KU Services Dining Director. "Our team of over 500 dining staff works hard to ensure a variety of high-quality, creative entrées are available daily, regardless of the student's food preference or dietary requirements."

KU Dining for 26 years, says the number of individuals following special diets is on the rise. With regard to vegans and vegetarians, Golledge estimates that approximately $10\%$ of the KU campus lives such a lifestyle. To satisfy this group of diners, KU Dining offers vegan and/or vegetarian options at all of its residential dining centers and retail dining cafes.
All vegan and vegetarian options offered by KU Dining are prepared with care, from analyzing ingredients to ensuring grill surfaces are

Student senate fund cuts hurt SUA and students
The front page article in the Kansan on March 6 laid out the activities fee funding cut that Student Union Activities will face during the next academic year. This cut was touted by the student senators as a responsible decision that will put money back into students' pockets. This
notion is hilarious.
It is hilarious because the cut will save each student 50 cents while effectively slashing SUA's budget by 10 percent. If we assume that the University's 25,000 or so students pay five dollars each to SUA each year, the cut will take $12,500 out of SUA's hands. Such a reduction in funding could
be the difference in two or three good speakers visiting campus. This cut will only hinder the campus' most popular organization from serving the students. Putting half of a dollar back in the pockets of students is not in the same level of interest as keeping SUA functioning at a high capacity.
it seems reasonable
that a majority of student senators aspire to hold real political office further down the road. The student senators could better serve the students' interests by advocating for cost-saving measures at the state level. A popular example of this is eliminating sales tax for textbooks bought on campus.
Tell a student senator that SUA can keep its 50 cents. Tell a student senator that students are better served when representatives work to find creative and egalitarian cost-saving solutions that aren't punitive for students.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Why you should keep an eye on the Ukrainian crisis
It's very easy to forget the world beyond campus. Often times a college student's mind doesn't stray far from the next class, the next night out or the next tweet. However, it's important to remember that there's a world beyond Lawrence, and right now that world finds itself in a crisis reminiscent of the Cold War. Ukraine's uprising and Russia's subsequent regional occupation threatens to affect every level of society: from gas prices in Lawrence to the renewal of tension between Russia and the West.
By Jesse Burbank
opinion@kansan.com
The Ukrainian crisis began last year with the refusal of President Viktor Yanukovych to sign a landmark trade agreement with the European Union, opting instead to strengthen ties with traditional ally Russia. This reversal by Yanukovych sparked a massive wave of protests that engulfed the capital Kiev. Attempts at suppression caused the protests to turn deadly, eventually culminating in the ousting of President Yanukovych and the rise of a new, pro-Europe president Oleksandr Turchynov earlier this year. As one may imagine, President Vladimir Putin has responded decisively to this shift in sentiment in Russia's backyard.
Now, Russia has stepped in to assert its dominance over its former Soviet Union counterpart.
Troops have flooded into the Ukrainian region of Crimea, occupying critical cities and surrounding Ukrainian military bases. Despite being admonished by the international community, Russia has stood firm and tensions have continued to rise.
While Russia has veiled its actions with a vague pretext of "protecting Russians," the political motivation behind its occupation is obvious. The overarching goal behind President Putin's reign is to restore Russia's former status as a world superpower. Through every policy he implements and every directive he hands down, he actively seeks a global influence comparable to that of the old Soviet Union. Losing sway over a neighboring former Soviet state to the West would cripple Russia's legitimacy as a global (or even regional) leader. This, Putin cannot allow.
As President Putin plays his games, however, he risks an economic catastrophe in both the local and global community. Should the European Union or the United States impose sanctions upon Russia, a
trade war of unthinkable proportions is liable to be unleashed. Russian news network RT reports that half of the Russian economy relies on trade with Europe. Conversely, 40 percent of European and 5 percent of American fuel imports come from Russia, according to East European Gas Analysis and the U.S. Energy Information Administration, respectively. Such strong financial interdependence between nations at odds with one another holds the potential for global calamity. Gas prices in Lawrence and around the world would rocket to new heights while political stability would plummet, leading to increased costs that would reverberate throughout the global economy.
WFLL-BEING
This political brinksmanship serves only to heighten international hostility and entrench nations in old suspicions
Putin must withdraw his troops, but must be allowed to do so with dignity. He will not accept humiliation. The EU and the United States, meanwhile, must keep level heads. Military and major economic action is out of the question as a response to the situation. Diplomacy is the only option here.

Life motto eases midterm stress
lately, I've been pretty stressed. As I sit here and listen to my
and listen to my roommate talk about how difficult her test will be tomorrow. I dream of spring break. Don't we all? It's that time of the semester where everything just seems to be piling up and there is no end in sight. No end except for a tiny little hole at the end of a long tunnel that displays the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. Man, I can feel the sand between my toes.
I haven't found anything that can distract me from my craving for spring break. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Seriously.
My friend Rachel recently taught me her life motto: "it'll all buff out." Since I have three of my six classes with her, I hear her say it a lot. She says it to me when I get stressed about having too much to do and not enough time. These tiny panic attacks happen to me frequently, so that's why I hear it so often.
One of my most recent panic attacks involved me having an outburst in one of the study rooms of my dorm. I wrote a very opinionated paper for one of my journalism classes and then Rachel erased most of it because the paper wasn't supposed to have my opinion in it. Was the outburst necessary? Probably not. Did it make me feel much better about myself when it was all over? Absolutely. Getting all my anger out was the greatest thing I could have ever done. I was so relieved when it was all over and I was able to get my act together.
Rachel's motto puts me at ease. Somehow, everything always does "buff" out. Rachel, along with every other

student at this university, understands what I'm going through. Spring break is just so close!
This stressful time will soon be over. If midterms go accordingly, spring break will be the perfect way to forget about school for a while and focus on relaxing. Such a great reward for all the hard work everyone has put in.
Although it's so close, I feel as though all professors know that students are pretty stressed this time of year and the fact that midterms fall directly around spring break doesn't make it any better. The consequence of the break and midterms being so close together is more homework from all classes. How does that make anything better? More homework equals more stress. Math majors: is that a difficult equation? I didn't think so either.
All of this talk of homework reminds me that I have a report to go write that's due tomorrow. No worries folks, spring break is right around the corner and it will be a pretty great one if you ask me. Honestly though, any break from school would be a great one. Maybe if more people dream about the beach, it will come faster? I can still feel the sand between my toes. It'll all buff out. Thanks, Rachel.

Stringent diet: Is spring break worth the pain?
With spring break just around the corner, many young adults feel increased pressure to conform to society's idea of the "perfect body."
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
entertain@kansan.com
By this time next week, the holy grail of second-semester spring break will be upon us. Whether you are hitting the sandy shores, heading up north for skiing and snow or simply making your way back home for a little R&R, every college student is rejoicing at a much deserved seven-day vacation from classes.
Elizabeth Stigler, a PhD student in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Kansas, feels strongly about eliminating the unrealistic expectations our society places on body type and weight.
Unfortunately, with spring break also comes an increase in crash dieting, hours spent at the gym and criticism placed on our bodies. This time of year we are bombarded with magazine and television ads encouraging us to work toward a "hot spring break beach bod."
Particularly in our media today, whether it's through celebrities in the public eye or
"This kind of obsession with the fact that a number defines you and defines your body, and it's ideal to be a size double zero, or some other kind of ridiculous number, is totally an
unrealistic goal," Stigler said. "It just kind of perpetuates the myth of the perfect body."
"I actually know a girl who chose not to go on spring break solely because she didn't want to be around a lot of college kids in a swimsuit."
LAUREN PATELLI
Sophomore from Leavenworth
even something as subtle as an ad in a magazine, pop culture has a negative impact on the way we view ourselves.
"(There's) this constant reassertion that you should be striving to be thin all the time... everything you do should be motivated around being a thin body," Stigler said. She thinks the idea that this body type is the only size that's valued really needs to be examined.
According to the "Do Something" positive body image campaign, 58 percent of college girls feel pressured to be
a certain weight. The campaign says more than one-third of young adults who actively diet will merge into pathological dieting, and approximately 25 percent of that third will suffer from a partial or full-on eating disorder.
Stereotypically, an obsession with body image is associated with women, but Stigler said body dysmorphic disorder actually affects more men than women.
"College students are constantly affected by the pressure to fit in our 'size zero' kind of culture, and spring break heightens that pressure," said Lauren Patelli, a sophomore from Leavenworth. "I actually know a girl who chose not to go on spring break solely because she didn't want to be around a lot of college kids in a swimsuit."
So before you hit the beach, embrace your insecurities and cut out the self-criticism. Appreciate what makes you, you! Surround yourself with friends and family who make you feel good about yourself, because everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Selfie phenomenon amplified by Twitter, Instagram

Whether it's flexing at the rec, posing in bathroom mirrors at the Hawk, driving home from campus, waving the wheat in Allen Fieldhouse or even hanging out at the Oscars — it always seems like the time for a selfie.
network sites like Instagram that are dedicated to sharing pictures that really pushed it over the edge."
He's doing it, she's doing it. even Ellen DeGeneres is doing it. People have transformed the selfie into a channel to communicate; it's an unwritten language (pun intended). This revolution inspired Oxford Dictionary's decision to make "selfie" 2013's Word of the Year. Though this seems like a recent phenomenon, Natalie Pennington, a University lecturer teaching 'Communication on the Internet,' mentioned that researchers suggest selfies have been around for a long time.
"There are some researchers who argue that selfies have always been around, and I tend to agree with that sentiment," Pennington said. "It is the rise of the camera phone and social
Whether the selfie is considered a historical evolution or a generational trend, Pennington said selfies are simply a way for people to say something about themselves and she doesn't see anything wrong with that. That being said, she brought up the famous selfie that managed to break Twitter — DeGeneres and the gang's Oscar selfie.
This home run selfie not only temporarily broke Twitter, but it also broke world records. The selfie was the most shared Twitter post of all time as reported by The Washington Post. Madeline Spellman, a senior from Chicago, attributes the success of the Oscar selfie to the immediate feedback enabled by social media platforms.
Ties and PRSSA. "We want to know what's going on right now, and what better way to deliver that information than with a quick Snapchat or selfie of us and our surroundings and friends? Just look at the Oscars. What would the point have been of that selfie if Ellen had just taken that picture, and not had anywhere to put it?"
"This idea of always being in the present definitely has added to the selfie phenomenon," Spellman said, who is the social media coordinator for KU's Natural
Whether it's flexing at the rec, posing in bathroom mirrors at the Hawk, driving home from campus, waving the wheat in Allen Fieldhouse or even hanging out at the Oscars — it always seems like the time for a selfie.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
With constant access to smartphones and webcams, it looks as though selfies are here to stay. Given that many KU students are guilty of indulging in a selfie here and there, who is to say whether selfies are good or bad? Spellman herself enjoys a fun selfie with a canine companion every now and then, but said there is a time and place. This excludes flexing in the mirror or aspects of someone's daily routine.
She goes on to explain that an excessive amount of selfies may indicate an individual's poor self-worth. Pennington agrees that there are some "horrifying" selfies out there, but disagrees with Spellman's rubric for acceptable selfies by saying it's really just a way to
establish your identity.
"People take selfies as a way to say something about the self, it's an identity claim," Pennington said. "Different selfies display different things, but the very nature of the picture, taking a picture of
yourself, is self-focused,
showing people either what
you are up to or what you're
into"
Look at Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat or Twitter and you'll be bombarded by selfies. It may very well be time to embrace
tnis selfie phenomenon because there seems to be no point in fighting it. Jayhawks love their selfies just as much as the next person.

BIG 12 NOTEBOOK
lowa State has widespread impact on conference play

TRAVIS FORD - OKLAHOMA STATE
Loss to Iowa State hurts Oklahoma State the most
The Cowboys were up three points in Ames, Iowa, with five seconds left when Iowa State hit a 3-pointer to force the game into overtime. When Travis Ford was asked about fouling at the end of the game to prevent the Cyclones from making a three, he said his team knew to foul.
"It's been a feel for how the game is going," Ford said.
"Make no mistake, we wanted to foul on Saturday."
Ford said that his game was similar to last year's game against Kansas where, with the Jayhawks down three in the final seconds, Ford told his team to not foul.
"Let's get this game over with," Ford said about why he didn't foul in Kansas. "We kind of knew what we were going to run and decided not to foul."
The loss to Iowa State could hold the Cowboys out of the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma State is eighth in the Big 12 Conference with a 8-10 record, but three of those losses were without sophomore point
"From my understanding they are supposed to take into account the three games Marcus (Smart) did not play," Ford said.
guard Marcus Smart. Ford said that the Cowboys record in the conference does justice for how dominant the league was.
Melvin Ejim wins conference Player of the Year
From 2006 to 2013, Iowa State only had two All-Big 12 first-stream players. This season alone, the Cyclones have two players on the All-Big 12 first team: junior guard DeAndre
FRED HOIBERG - IOWA STATE
Kane and senior forward Melvin Ejim.
Ejim was honored with the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year as well, Coach Fred Holberg said what Ejim has done off the court is more impressive.
"He's majoring in history, he decided to do that after our trip to Italy, and a minor in business. He's got a 4.0 GPA," Holberg said about Ejim's off-court success. "The things he's done in the community as well in his four years here, he has done so many things."
The senior has improved his game a lot since coming to Iowa State. Elij averaged
10 points per game in his first three seasons, but jumped to 18 points per game this season.
"This shows when someone puts a lot of work into their game it will pay off," Hoiberg said about Ejim's improvement.
BRUCE WEBER - KANSAS STATE
Rubber match with Iowa State
The Wildcats are fifth in the Big 12 Conference and will play Iowa State in the first round of the conference tournament. The two teams are tied in the season series, but if Kansas State has an early exit from the conference tournament, it will
affect its NCAA tournament seed.
"I hope our guys come to play at a high level," Weber said. "The first two matchups were good games."
The first two matchups were decided by a total of 13 points and each was won by the home team.
Kansas State is coming off a 2-point loss at home to Baylor and Weber said it should affect how they play in the conference tournament.
"I think because it was senior night, the guys were tight down the stretch." Weber said.

Kansas hopes to spring back with first home game
BEN FELDERSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
After almost a month of away games, tomorrow the Jayhawks will play on their home field of Hogland Park for the first time this season. The Jayhawks (12-3) will face the Golden Eagles of Oral Roberts University (6-8) at 3 p.m.
"We've been on the road all season so far," senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge said. "All the guys are excited to play in front of their friends and families."
Oral Roberts is coming off of a series loss to Dallas Baptist in Dallas. The team scored 15 runs over the weekend and let up 19. Unlike the Jayhawks, the Golden Eagles have had the pleasure of playing eight of their 14 games at home thus far. Kansas has started the season with 15 consecutive road games due to weather.
"It's a nice change of pace," said senior pitcher Frank Duncan. "It'll be good for us to play in front of a home crowd."
The Jayhawks are also coming off a series loss from the weekend. They dropped two of their three losses on the season to the Stanford Cardinals. Kansas will look to get back on track and get a victory before their first Big 12 series of the
season.
"It left a bad taste in our mouths." Eldredge said. "Both of those losses could have gone different ways."
Junior pitcher Drew Morovick (3-0) will get the start on the mound for Kansas. Morovick ranks at the top in multiple Big 12 statistical categories. Prior to the Stanford series, he was seventh in the conference with a 1.56 ERA. Over the weekend, Morovick lowered his ERA to 1.31. He is tied for first with three wins and was fourth in strikeouts with 19. Morovick also ranked second amongst pitchers qualified with a .161 batting average against.
Junior pitcher Phillip Wilson will have the task of facing Kansas' high-powered offense. This season, Wilson is 0-1 and has not started a game on the mound for the Golden Eagles.
Kansas will look to keep their high-powered offense going against the Golden Eagles. The Jayhawks have scored five or more runs in 10 of their 15 games on the season so far.
The lajhawks will look to extend their Big 12 best record to 13-3. Morovick and the offense are looking forward to that in front of their home crowd.

Wade carries Heat late, Miami tops Wizards 99-90
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored 13 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, LeBron James led all scorers with 23 points and the Miami Heat clinched a playoff spot by beating the Washington Wizards 99-90 on Monday night.
Chris Bosh scored 22 for the Heat, who snapped a threegame slide and moved within one game of Indiana in the race for the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Bradley Beal scored 18 points, Martell Webster added 17 and Drew Gooden scored 15 for the Wizards. Marcin Gortat finished with 14 points and 18 rebounds — 10 of them in the first quarter alone.
Ray Allen added 13 for Miami, which was down one midway through the fourth before Wade sparked a 12-0 run with five points, three assists and a block at the rim. The Heat never trailed again, and avoided their first four-game slide since 2011.
John Wall finished with eight assists for Washington.
Wade knocked down a jumper with just under 2 minutes left, putting Miami up 97-87 and sealing the outcome. Wade's 13 points in the fourth represented his highest-scoring quarter this season, and came with him playing on consecutive days for the first time since Jan. 4 and 5. It was only the third time all season he's been in for both nights of a back-to-back.
Both teams shot only nine free throws each; James didn't shoot one for the second straight game, just the second time that's happened in his career, the first coming in December 2003, early in his rookie season.
James went scoreless for a stretch of nearly 15 minutes in the first half, and still easily led everyone with 19 points by intermission. The entirety of his first-half scoring came in two impressive spurts three 3-pointers in as many tries over a span of 2:43 early in the game, then 10 straight Heat points in a stretch of 2:33 late in the half.
The Heat shot 54 percent in the first half, the Wizards just 34 percent. But Miami's
lead was just 53-45 at the break and when Washington started making a few more shots, the Heat were put back on the ropes, exactly where they spent most of their time on the futile trip through Houston, San Antonio and Chicago.
Miami's lead was 12 early in the third before Washington went on a 10-0 run, with Gortat scoring the first eight and Trevor Booker's jumper getting the Wizards within 59- 57. And after Miami rebuilt the lead to seven, Washington took off on another quick burst, this one enough to give the Wizards their first lead since 1-0.
In less than 2 minutes. Washington outscored Miami 11-0, Webster scoring six in 25 seconds. He head-faked James in the air to start what became a four-point play, then had an alley-oop dunk off a Wall pass on the next possession as Washington took a 65-64 lead.
Allen had two 3's for the Heat late in the third, and it was 73-all entering the fourth.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
ELLIS FROM PAGE 12
A prospect and a promise
Before Ellis played a game for Wichita Heights, Joe Auer found himself in Ellis' living room trying to jump-start a relationship that at a minimum would span the next four years.
Ellis had already been featured in Sports Illustrated for Kids while in middle school, and the hype would only build as he transitioned to the Wichita City League.
It was a welcomed addition for Auer, whose team had fallen two seconds shy of reaching the State Championship that year. If Ellis was going to jump into the starting lineup, he wanted to prepare him for what came with it.
Yet before Auer had a chance to lay out a plan, the eighth grader announced his.
A straight-faced Ellis rattled off four goals he had for high school, although the way he said them you might think they were demands.
He told Auer he was going to be a great student. That he was going to play Division 1 college basketball and enter the NCAA as a McDonald's All-American. And before that happened, he was going to win four Kansas state championships.
"Without hesitation," Auer said. "He didn't say one. He said four."
As a parent, Auer immediately worried that this young teenager would get wrapped up in winning. That Ellis would miss out on the ride and the lessons he would learn along the way.
As a coach who had just missed on a state title, he couldn't taper his excitement "Let's go for it," Auer told him.
For the rest of the meeting, Ellis spoke in short sentences. He didn't seem like he had the energy to match the mindset. Auer didn't even start to believe until he got him in the gym.
Ellis won every drill, every sprint and dominated every scrimmage. He wouldn't allow himself to lose. The fact that he was quiet didn't really matter.
Evan Wessel — now a member of the undefeated Wichita State Shockers — was the de facto leader of the
Heights team anyway, and provided more of a voice in the locker room.
It was OK for Ellis to stay silent because Wessel was a year older, and Ellis' leadership was best exposed on the court, where he was putting up a double-double nearly every night.
Yet when senior year rolled around and the likes of Bill Self, John Calipari and Mike Krzyzewski lined bleachers inside a capacity Wichita Heights' gym. Auer asked Ellis to change his approach.
"They're not going to see your work ethic; they are going to judge you on appearance," Auer told him. "Sometimes it might be easier for you if you be a little more demonstrative."
It was the same sentiment Auer relayed when Ellis was in eighth grade. The same treatment that Ellis experienced under every coach he's played for.
He understood the request. He just didn't agree with the reasoning.
"Some of it has to come naturally," Ellis said. "Some of it comes with learning how to get out of your comfort zone. That's the key."
So Auer looked for ways to take Ellis out of his element. Every weekday during his freshman year at Heights, Ellis would sneak away to room B209 and eat lunch with Auer.
Mostly, Ellis wanted to talk basketball. Auer wanted to take his mind off it. Running out of ideas, Auer took out a chessboard and asked Ellis if he'd ever played. When Ellis said no, Auer began reading off the rules.
"We would split wins," Ellis said. "It got competitive."
After Ellis' sophomore year Auer never won another game.
"It was a game that involved anticipating your opponent's movement," Auer said. "He figures things out pretty quickly and I think the game matched his personality."
A season of setbacks
Perry Ellis arrived in Lawrence with many of the same expectations levied on him as when he entered high school.
Kansas fans and coaches knew all about the four straight state titles he won
at Heights. They knew he held the Wichita City League scoring record. They knew he was a McDonald's All-American and had finished high school as a valedictorian.
If anyone could transition right to the college game, it would be Ellis, the homegrown stud coveted by college basketball's best programs. And the confidence Ellis exuded seemed to suggest the same.
"I had been coming up here for so long and just felt so comfortable around everybody," Ellis said. "I felt like I was a part of it before I was even here."
Bill Self decided to start Ellis right away.
"He plays Michigan State and just realizes, wow, there are some big, strong guys out here and this is very difficult at this level," Auer said.
In his first game against Southeast Missouri State, Ellis scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 23 minutes.
The lessons Ellis learned from the Michigan State game echoed what happened to him during a state semifinal game his senior year at Heights. That game was in Topeka, and Ellis hardly resembled the kid who would suit up for the Jayhawks in the fall.
Auer watched his star player get beat in the paint too many times to let it go. So instead of addressing the team at halftime, Auer burst into the locker room, grabbed Ellis and dragged him outside of the arena and into the middle
"I needed to grow up mentally," Ellis said.
Fourth and final
"He's one of those kids that as soon as you say 'run,' he'll run faster. As soon as you say 'jump,' he'll jump higher."
BILL SELF Kansas coach
setting up a breakout season just shortly after it started.
That feeling faded just as quick.
"I told him the pressure is going to be a little different than what you've ever felt," Self said. "He felt it."
As Ellis prepared for his second game, a Champions Classic matchup with Michigan State in Atlanta's Georgia Dome, Self tried to warn the freshman about the exposure he would soon receive.
Self's words fueled Ellis' nerves. He was hesitant on the floor, trying more not to mess up than to make plays. In turn, Ellis was pushed around the paint, rendered useless with the ball and couldn't find his place on defense.
Ellis scored four points and grabbed three rebounds in the loss, playing just 17 minutes. Self wouldn't give Ellis another start until late in the Big 12 season — a crushing loss at TCU.
"He was definitely shook," Self said.
Ellis' level of play matched his emotion for the first time in his career.
"Do you want this to be your last game?" Auer shouted at Ellis. "Do you want this to be the end?"
The two stood out there battling each other for one of the last times. The coach hadn't forgotten Ellis' first words to him four years ago, and a chance to play for a final championship was just one 16-minute half away.
"It was a pretty intense conversation." Ellis said.
So much so that after enough time had passed both had run out of things to say. As the screaming match came to an end, they each took a second to comprehend the situation.
of a snowstorm.
Here stood the three-time state champions in sub-freezing temperatures, covered in snow and neither of them knew why. This wasn't fun, this was forced, and if it stayed that way, title number four wasn't coming back to Wichita.
"We both realized we're sitting out here in a blizzard," Auer said. "We came back in and didn't have to say anything. The team looked at us and knew."
Exactly one year ago, as the Jayhawks looked to build momentum heading into the NCAA Tournament, Perry Ellis re-emerged as the cornerstone forward Kansas fans imagined.
When the Big 12 tournament began, a season of slow adjustments came to fruition.
Big 12 Turnaround
In the quarterfinals against Texas Tech, Ellis figured out how to get in position, notching eight points and seven rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench.
In the semis against Iowa State, the footwork that made Ellis a coveted power forward came to prominence as he danced his way to the rim for 23 points in 28 minutes.
Ellis didn't have to play loud. The pro-Kansas crowd at the Sprint Center did that for him, chanting his name over and over as the freshman's confidence came back one game at a time during the season's final weekend.
By the championship game against Kansas State, Ellis found a way to put it all together, coming up with 12 points, six rebounds and two assists.
It was around that time, too, that Self learned what each of Ellis' previous coaches accepted. Instead of begging Ellis to get louder, Self challenged him to play more aggressive.
"He's one of those kids that as soon as you say 'run', he'll run faster." Self said after Ellis helped put away Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship. "As soon as you say 'jump', he'll jump higher."
As Wichita Heights transitions to its new athletic complex — funded by a $370 million school district bond — most of the banners that graced the 1056-capacity gym remain in storage, waiting to move into the new 2,400-seat stadium.
On to new Heights
The only one not in hiding, a pennant highlighting Ellis' Wichita City League scoring record, remains covered up behind a mobile television unit in the back of Auer's room. Outside of B209 you won't find many other signs of Ellis' presence. His legacy remains as quiet as he is.
The state titles are just being
Instead he's at the forefront of another institution. One that has watched him grow over the last five years as closely as anyone.
Even with the uber-hyped Andrew Wiggins, future lottery pick Joel Embibid, junior Naadir Tharpe and the rest of the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation preparing to start a new era of Kansas basketball, it was Perry Ellis who was clearly handed the reins to the team.
The cover of the 2013-14 season media guide — and all subsequent posters — featured the current Jayhawks showing off different poses. All of them smiling, or screaming. Exhibiting any bit of excitement. Looming over them all is Perry Ellis, a ball in his hands, and a stern look on his face. Surrounded by humor and energy, Ellis' broad shoulders and seriousness make it known that he's in charge. That there's something burning on his mind.
Maybe he's still thinking about his goals.
Maybe it's another Big 12 title or a national championship. Maybe he's thinking about a life in the NBA or maybe he's concerned with walking down the hill in four years.
Or maybe he's thinking about what got him here. The focus it took and the ride it took him on.
"He has an inner confidence inside of him," Self said. "I'm hoping his next goal is doing something similar here because he is capable of doing it."
More than likely, he's thinking about the season to come. The sophomore year that's changed him from overwhelmed rookie to clubhouse leader.
Maybe he's thinking of what to say next. Then again, maybe he's not.
"I actually realized, you can be a quiet player as long as you're being aggressive every play," Ellis said. "If you're assertive, there's really nothing to say."

Controversial NFL player retires early
Rashard Mendenhall has long been one of the NFLs more intriguing players. He's raised eyebrows off the field with controversial comments concerning Bin Laden's death and the authenticity of the 9/11 report, rarely shying away from speaking his mind.
Clearly not one concerned with popular opinion, the 26-year-old running back announced his retirement from football in a piece he wrote on Sunday for the Huffington Post. He played six seasons in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, winning the Super Bowl in 2009.
In the article, Mendenhall explains the factors that weighed into his decision: disapproval of the direction the league is heading, refusal to sacrifice his body for entertainment any longer and desire to pursue other interests. No lingering injury issues, no legal troubles — he simply wants to be done.

and mats okay. Or at least it should be. Comments such as "I don't want to hear you complain about how hard the NFL is when I work 50-60 hours per week to make ends meet!" and "What kind of idiot would walk away from millions of dollars?" have flooded the internet in response to Mendenhall's early exit.

We're just now starting to gain a clearer picture of the long-term effects that football has on the body and mind. From Jim McMahon's early onset dementia to Junior Seau's CTE-prompted suicide, current players are forced to face the reality of post-NFL struggles early in their careers.
McMahon has stated in numerous interviews that he wishes he would have chosen a different career. Players

The NFL culture is rapidly changing, and players' concerns and values have been morphing with it. Football isn't necessarily the career-long commitment that it once was fendenhall's decision
reminds us of that.
While he wasn't considered a top-tier running back, Mendenhall certainly had more left in the tank. His decision to leave the game in the prime of his career is shocking for most, but expect similar stories to come about over the next few years.

Kansas needs to get defensive
COMMENTARY
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
Bill Self loves a good defensive team. Suffocating defense is a testament to his coaching philosophy. You have to be gritty, you need to hustle and you must play as a unit to create the best product.
So when Kansas put up one of its worst defensive efforts of the last several years, surrendering 92 points to West Virginia, including 50 in the first half, Self tried to remain optimistic.
"We were lucky they only had 50," Self said. "I think they were on pace to get 60 halfway through the half, so we really hunkered down defensively."
"We didn't guard at all," he said. "We've gone through stretches this year where we haven't guarded well, but I
Self went on to adopt a more critical tone.
think that's probably as poor as we've been."
Self preaches shutdown defense because, for the most part, shutdown defense is one of the best indicators of post-season success. Notably, the Jayhawk team that cut down the nets in 2008 had the best defensive efficiency in the nation according to KenPom, meaning Kansas allowed less points per 100 possessions than any other team in the nation.
Statistically, Kansas' defense is the worst it has been in years. Kansas ranks 31st nationally in defensive efficiency. This represents the worst the Jayhawks have been since Self came to Kansas. Since the
2005-06 season, Kansas has never been lower than 11th in defensive efficiency.
Kansas' defensive troubles also stem from individual liabilities. Nadir Tharpe has trouble with faster, stronger point guards. West Virginia point guard Juwan Staten abused Tharpe at the point of attack. Self saw him as such a liability that he only played him 16 minutes. Having your
There are several explanations for this. Kansas is relying on five new starters, and defensive chemistry is a gradual process. In addition, Kansas' schedule has been brutal. Finally, the rule changes come to the detriment of the defender.
starting point guard, with a number one seed on the line, get benched due to ineffective defense is extremely troubling.
Wayne Selden Jr. is a solid on-ball defender, but he has not yet mastered team defense. He struggles when the opposition sends his man around multiple off-ball screens. He also gets beat on back cuts, which leads to either points or a foul on the help defender. Kansas' big men cannot afford to use their fouls against opposing guards who beat their primary defender.
In the post, Perry Ellis has improved as the year has progressed, but the natural instincts he shows on offense
just aren't present on defense. He ends up out of place, and when faced with a strong power forward, he either fouls or gives up an easy basket.
Joel Embid's absence has been noticeable, but in an ideal Bill Self defense, one player's absence can be mitigated. This year's team has been unable to do so.
Until Kansas' defense improves, this team has a ceiling. If Kansas buys into a team defense concept, the sky's the limit.

QUIET BY DESIGN
Ellis knows wins speak louder than words
BLAKE SCHUSTER
sports@kansan.com
Inside Room B209 at Wichita Heights High School, where the spoils of a basketball dynasty reside, Joe Ather starts to tell a story to his government class. He peers at the back wall, the one with the banners and pictures and memories, and reminds everyone of the time Perry Ellis lost his mind.
This is a real story. The quietest, meekest, most anti-big-time basketball player the Jayhawks have seen in years actually showed emotion on the court. Real emotion. Even as a high schooler, he bottled it up during practices, during team meetings and, of course, during games. So that one time his senior year when he swatted a shot out of bounds against rival Wichita Northwest and landed with a roar, not even the officials knew how to respond.
"They give him a technical," Auer said. "And he probably deserved it."
An embarrassed Ellis walked toward the bench only to see his coach look back smiling.
"I've spent three years trying to get this kid to celebrate a play once and the first time he does you T him up," Auer said.
"That might be a message that he needs to stay true to himself."
For as long as Perry Ellis has played basketball, he's always heard the same message from his coaches: get louder.
They ask Ellis to play with excitement, to help rile up his teammates and to show some life for the crowd. They ask because they want to make sure he's having fun out there. That he's committed to the game and enjoying his dominant play.
They ask because, well, it's pretty rare to see a player so good stay so quiet.
"They all push for that," Ellis said. "It doesn't get old."
Even at Allen Fieldhouse, where Ellis starts for the No. 10 Kansas Jayhawks, the fans beg to see any emotion from the sophomore.
When Tarik Black's dunk over Texas ignited the building a few weeks back, every KU player busted out elaborate reactions. Naadir Tharpe broke into a robot dance while Wayne Selden Jr. jumped over the bench twice before landing in the arms of Nikko Roberts. Perry Ellis, as fired up as he held been all season, just stood up and flashed a quick smile.
"Playing with emotion at a five on somebody else's scale," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's like a 10 on his."
There’s a common misconception among all who have coached Ellis as well. They equate a lack of energy with lethargic play. That if Ellis doesn’t act like he’s having fun, then he likely isn’t. What they don't understand, at least not right away, is that Ellis exerts a controlled cockiness that fuels him more than any celebration could.

Men of Merit help define masculinity on campus
CODY KUIPER news@kansan.com
For Michael Detmer, a coordinator for the LGBTQ Resource Center and a graduate student in music therapy, being recognized as one of the University's 15 Men of Merit on Monday was about more than just another addition to his resume.
The sixth-annual honor went out to 15 students, staff and faculty members, like Detmer, who positively define masculinity in their work for the University and community. The group was honored at a reception at the Kansas Union on Monday.
"I think a lot of stereotypes are made off of sexual orientation." Detmer said. "We often make assumptions on gender expression or sexual orientation based off one or the other, so I think being honored as a Man of Merit helps break down those assumptions and barriers and helps with really getting to know people regardless of just their sexual identity or gender expression."
The Men of Merit project is organized by the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity with the support of the Commission on the Status of Women, who together help sponsor a poster featuring the recipients.
In addition to honoring stand out individuals, the award also seeks to bring attention to issues with men in higher education, like declining enrollment and rising rates of underperformance in school. The American Council on Education says that men only make up 43 percent of the bachelor's degree earners in the country, and the College Student Survey from 2009 also found that only 39 percent of male college students study for at least 11 hours a week while 48 percent of their female counterparts do so.
RICK GROSSMAN
According to a 2013 study from the journal "Gender & Society," the reason that men underachieve in school compared to women is because they have less involvement in extracurricular activities that are often linked to academic success, like music, art and drama, which can often be labeled as un-masculine.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Bryne Gonzales, an honoree who works as a Hawk Link Guide, an organization that assists new students and students of color with their transition to the University, said that his fellow Men of Merit tend to involve themselves in multiple groups and activities around campus and the city. According to him, the award is more about recognition for those groups they are representing, rather than the individuals accepting him.

"I think this award is aimed to recognize men who challenge the status quo and work with groups trying to do good in the community, so I think by lifting us up and showing the good deeds we do, it helps reaffirm the people we work with and the work they do." Gonzales said. "For me, working with underrepresented populations, obviously it says good things about me, but it

For freshman Rachel Rovaris, eating isn't simply about quieting the empty roar of the stomach.
"It if I eat anything with canola oil, I break out in really big welts," Rovaris said. "It started out as hives but now they are becoming huge welts and my eyes will swell and my feet will swell, so a lot of welts and swelling. Over the years, my doctor is scared it can turn
Allergic reactions often come suddenly and with varying severity. Strother said individual students should know how to control their food allergies by watching their diet and knowing what to do in case of an allergic reaction.
"Most people, by the time they come to college, know if they are allergic and know how to deal with that," Strother said.

She is allergic to canola oil.
Rovaris, a freshman from Raleigh, N.C., is one of the few people on campus who have food allergies. Among the students on residential dining plans, only about 40 students reported food allergies or special dietary needs, said Mary Rondon, a dietitian from KU Dining Services.
Students with food allergies typically have a severe reaction because the allergen is consumed.
"It's a systemic effect," Dr. Myra Strother, a physician at Watkins, said. "If you and I breathe in pollen, you are more likely to be bothered in your mucous membranes and eyes and you're going to be sneezing or developing a cough. But you swallow food, it's going to go throughout your bloodstream and that can give you a very exaggerated response."

BEAUTY CONTROL
NET WT. 100g (3.4 OZ)
Taylor Cameron, a freshman from Elkhart, pays for college herself — not with student loans — but with the money she earned while working as a BeautiControl representative. Not only has she earned enough to support herself financially, her successful business has earned her an all-expenses paid trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, in April, among other prizes.
Taylor Cameron, a freshman from Elkhart, pays for school by selling BeautiControl products.
BeautiControl is a brand similar to Mary Kay and Avon that sells skin care treatment and a variety of cosmetics.
"I got started with Beauti- Control after one of my friends from high school, who was a representative, came over and gave free facials to my mom, grandma and I," Cameron said. "At the end, my mom and grandma wanted to buy some of the products she had used. I saw how much she was making and was immediately interested."
Before she began working with BeautiControl, Cameron worked two part-time jobs at Pizza Hut and at local convenience store, while still attending school. Working for BeautiControl gave her flexible hours, better pay and allowed her to work with women who appreciated her services and treated her well.
"I was working all the time and I didn't always get treated the best by customers," she said. "It began to take a toll on my body."
DANI MALAKOFF/KANSAN
Cameron started giving out complimentary facials to friends and family members. She began to expand her clientele at a Fourth of July carnival in Elkhart, where she set up a vendor tent and had girls write their names down and put them in a bowl.
"I called 50 to 60 girls and set up spa parties with all of them. I was doing at least one spa a day, and I was consistently making between $400 to $500 every day," Cameron said. "That was my defining moment."
Cameron says the part she enjoys the most is being able to provide stress-free, relaxation services to women to make them happy.
The woman was a nurse who was divorced and lived with her three children in a small house. She worked all the time to be able to support her chil-
"It makes me feel so good when, at the end of the week, I have girls who tell me how happy I made them just by giving them facials," Cameron said.

One particular client still stands out to Cameron today.
"To me, it's not just about the products or the money. It's about getting the chance to meet so many different women and having the opportunity to change their lives."

"Her house was messy because she worked so much that she didn't have time to clean it. She kept apologizing to me over and over," Cameron said. "At the end, she just started crying and said it was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for her, which made me start to cry too."

she couldn't afford them, but she wouldn't let me," Cameron said. "She insisted on paying full price because she said I had changed her life. It meant so much to me to hear her say that."
The woman was living pay-
Cameron doesn't get any money from the facial itself. The girls who receive the facial have the opportunity to purchase the products if they
want.
"That's one thing that got me started with this company," Cameron said." I wasn't ripping people off. If they didn't want to buy the products, they didn't have to."
She and Kennedie Dixon, the friend who initially recruited Cameron, travel to BeautiControl conferences around the country every year. They've been to Dallas and Memphis twice in the past two years.
Their last conference was the Celebration conference, which was hosted in Dallas. The executive directors announced the opportunity to win a trip, all-expenses paid, to Punta Cana, and Cameron was immediately determined to win it.
Cameron and her fiancé will be traveling to Punta Cana in April, along with Dixon and her fiancé.
"BeautiControl really helped
her get out of her shell," Dixon said. "I think pampering women and making them happy makes her really happy."
Cameron still tries to stay involved with BeautiControl now that she is attending the University, but doesn't have as much time to commit to it as she did in high school.
"I got really stressed and decided that I just needed to take a break and focus on school for a little bit," said Cameron.
BeautiControl launched another trip promotion, this time to Paris, and Cameron wants to get back into it.
"To me, it's not just about the products or the money," Cameron said. "It's about getting the chance to meet so many different women and having the opportunity to change their lives. I don't know where I would be today if I hadn't started doing this."

Court finds faults in school funding system

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, center, answers questions from the media after the Kansas Supreme Court ruling regarding school finance on Friday, March, 7, in Topeka. The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state's current public school funding levels are unconstitutional.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Poorer school districts stand to gain the most financially from a recent Kansas Supreme Court ruling that found the state's school funding system unconstitutional, a top education official told Democratic legislators on Tuesday.
Dale Dennis, deputy commissioner with the Department of Education, said districts with the lowest property valuations per student already have increased their local property taxes to the legal limit. That means any new amounts the Legislature spends could be used in those areas to lower property taxes but likely wouldn't increase school funding.
"Property tax is especially sensitive in some areas of the state," Dennis said.
The education department estimates lawmakers need to spend $129 million to fully comply with Friday's ruling, which found portions of the state's school funding formula were unconstitutional. Kansas spends more than $3 billion in state revenues on public schools.
House Minority Leader Paul Davis told fellow Democrats it could be months before the courts ultimately determine if legislators respond appropriately to the ruling or that millions more need to be spent.
"We will keep this conversation going to get an understanding of what the ramifications are," Davis said.
The department said poorer districts receive a higher percentage of state aid to offset the lack of property valuation. However, large districts like Wichita, Topeka and Olathe also qualify for significant aid
amounts.
Statewide, the median amount school districts can raise in property taxes is $64.86. Galena in southeast Kansas is on the poor end of the extreme, raising $18.82 per student. Other districts with higher property values and mineral wealth can raise much more per student, such as Satanta in Haskell County in southwest Kansas, at $511.55
per student.
The two funds flagged by the Supreme Court in its ruling seek to put to the Galenas of the state on similar revenue footing as the Santas through additional state support.
Through the 2008-09 school year the state equalized the aid 100 percent to the tune of $323 million. The equalization rates declined for local option budgets for operating expenses to 78 percent in the current year, though total spending increased to $339 million.
Dennis said the result was poor districts had to increase property taxes to offset the decline in state aid, meaning districts would be under pressure from local residents to roll back rates if more money is allocated from Topeka.

Ottawa quadruple murder case hears testimony
OTTAWA, Kan. — A man charged with murder in the deaths of four people, including an 18-month-old girl, at a Kansas farm told investigators one of the victims took the first shot at another victim, a detective testified Tuesday.
Kyle Trevor Flack, 28, is charged with capital murder, first-degree murder and attempted rape. The bodies of Andrew Stout, Steven White and Kaylie Bailey were discovered last spring at Stout's farm in Ottawa. Investigators found the body of Bailey's toddler, Lana Leigh Bailey, a few days later in neighboring Osage County.
Franklin County Judge Thomas H. Sachse heard testimony Tuesday on a request from prosecutors to introduce as evidence statements Flack made to authorities after the killings. The defense has opposed that motion, which was filed under seal.
Franklin County Sheriff's Detective Jeremi Thompson testified that Flack told investigators during questioning before he was formally charged May 9, 2013, that Stout argued with White over rent and followed him to the garage carrying a shotgun. Flack told authorities that Stout fired on White, hitting him in the chest, and then handed the gun to Flack.
"I shot him, he dies," the investigator said Flack told him.
Thompson said Flack then said he and Stout put a tarp over White's body and then placed cinder blocks on the tarp, before they went back in the house to smoke marijuana.
Defense attorney Ron Evans argued that the comments shouldn't be admitted because they came after Flack had asked Thompson if he needed a lawyer. The judge ruled that the comments were properly acquired and could be used.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for later Tuesday to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to warrant a trial. If Flack, who is being held on $10 million bond, is convicted of capital murder in the deaths of Bailey and her child, he could face the death penalty.
Authorities say Flack was friends with 30-year-old Stout, and that White, 31, was Stout's roommate. They have said 21-year-old Bailey was Stout's girlfriend.
Flack is also charged with criminal possession of a firearm. He cannot legally have a firearm because he spent four years in prison on a 2005 conviction for second-degree murder before being paroled in 2009.

says even better things about what we're doing in the community and we're making an impact that people are noticing."
But even though Gonzales says the attention should go to everyone, seeing your face on a poster is still pretty neat, he said.
"It's a little uncomfortable for all of us, because we're all guys who like to work behind the scenes and help push other people forward," he said. "But anyone who tells you they don't feel good about this and getting recognized, they'd be lying."
Bret Koch, a junior recipient who works with the KU Dance Marathon, the Community Outreach Program and serves on the board for the Multicultural Scholars Program, said his heavy involvement at the University has been crucial to his success not only as a student, but as an individual as well.
"I feel like I've excelled more as a person since I did start getting involved more," Koch said. "My freshman and sophomore year I wasn't that involved, and to know once I did get involved I got honored with something like this, it just solidifies and validates that fact that I am doing a lot of things outside of being a student."

ALLERGY FROM PAGE 1
breathing.
For Zach Welks, a freshman from Gardner, peanuts could be life-threatening if he consumes too much. Welks is allergic to all types of nuts except almonds.
“If I eat enough of it, I'll have an asthma attack,” Welks said. “According to the doctor it could range from shortness of breath, swollen lips, hives, all the way to full-blown anaphylaxis.”
Last time Welks had an allergic reaction was when he ate a dessert pizza, not knowing it had pecans in it. Luckily, he only had minor discomfort.
Campus dining will work with students individually to try to accommodate dietary restrictions, but controlling their allergies may not be so simple away from home.
"I do eat the dorm food, but I have to take medicine before I eat just because everything at KU is cooked with canola oil." Rovaris said. "The Studio sprays their frying pan with a
canola oil spray, everything at Mrs. E's is cooked with canola oil. Pizza, what they set it on is sprayed with canola oil so it doesn't stick. Everything but the salad and the cutting board, like sandwiches, have canola oil in it."
"Luckily, my parents stayed around after I started school and they were able to take me to an allergist and get the medicine I needed," Rovaris said.
Rovaris takes special medicine that helps suppress reactions in case of unknown exposures to canola oil. However, if she eats a significant amount, the medicine won't prevent a reaction.
During her first couple weeks here, Rovaris had a couple of allergic reactions while eating at the dining halls.
Having moved to Lewis this semester, Rovaris has to be more careful in picking her foods.
"Now that I've moved on the hill, it's a lot harder at Mrs. E's for them to change the oil that they use because they are feeding so many more people than
just at Oliver's dining hall," Rovaris said.
"They were really willing to help fix problems, but next year I am getting an apartment without a meal plan just because I am limited in what I can eat." Rovaris said. "I feel as if I'm spending way too much money on cereal, salads and sandwiches."
The Oliver dining hall tried to cook without canola oil or make something separate for Rovaris.
Welks has to be careful not to come in direct contact with nut-containing products. It means being aware of other students eating snacks that contain nuts and talking to his roommates about keeping nut products in the dorm.
"I prefer if they don't keep it in the room, but it's okay if they really wanted it," Welks said. "I can completely understand people who like peanut butter really like it. Just please wash hands and don't go smearing peanut butter on the walls."

Economic growth is not the answer to society's problems
In a lecture presented by the University's sociology department, Alex Stoner said that economic growth is the new secular religion, meaning it is a cultural norm that many are afraid to challenge. I agree with Stoner, who is an assistant professor in sociology at Salisbury University, in that I do not think growth is the answer to our economic and social problems. Economic growth is a machine that deepens social barriers and destroys the environment.
Economic growth is not a suitable indicator of national well-being, nor is it sustainable. It's time we talk about it.
Economic growth in the U.S. is measured by the country's real gross domestic product, or GDP,which is the value of all final goods and services produced in our country each year. Those who support economic growth - most economists and governments in the world believe that it leads to higher employment,
decreased poverty and even benefits to the environment.
I believe economic growth is flawed for three reasons:
it measures the progress of our society in dollars,
it hasn't eliminated high unemployment and poverty in the U.S. and it threatens the habitability of the earth and the lives of all its inhabitants.
By Gabrielle Murnan
opinion@kansan.com
When we measure national progress with the number of things produced, material objects become highly valued by society. National policy with the objective of economic growth, or the creation of items, neglect the important aspects of being human. By valuing production and money, we devalue people and communities. Economic growth has created a world obsessed with consumption, not self-fulfillment or happiness. Too many of our laws focus on their economic impacts, not the well-being of citizens, communities or nature. Policy decisions should be made by
citizens for citizens, not by politicians for the economy.
The biggest fallacies presented by proponents of economic growth are that growing economies lead to increased employment and decreased poverty. GDP became widely used after World War II as an indicator of post-war economic progress. However, as the years progressed, the U.S. and many other nations started using it is a measure of national well-being. Although GDP has increased over the years, unemployment rates have not improved. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 15 percent of Americans still live in poverty. If economic growth is a true measure of national well-being, then
unemployment rates should be lower than they were in 1948 and 46.5 million Americans should not be living in poverty. There are always fluctuations in unemployment rates, but since the late 1940s, overall employment has been on the decline and poverty levels are still high according to the U.S.Census Bureau. High levels of poverty, income disparity and unemployment indicate that economic growth is not an appropriate measure of national well being.
Economic growth puts a ruthless strain on our natural resources and ecosystems. The principle of growth has gone beyond human's place and space in this world. As populations increase along with desires for goods and services, we seek out more and more natural resources. Through pursuit of industry and commodities, humans have unmistakably altered the physical environment. It is reprehensible that biodiversity is being lost
due to new shopping malls, forests are being destroyed to accommodate urban sprawl, mountains are being blown apart for precious resources and life-giving water is being polluted by the byproducts of industry.
Every major religion in this world places a value on nature. Religions thousands of years old preach respect for our environment and co-existence with the earth. But today, our new religion seeks to destroy that which sustains us. It isolates us from our humanness, our happiness and our environment. Economic growth is not the only way for our society to function. The world does not need more economic growth, rather it needs policies that value people and nature over money and things.

How to improve mobile phone photography skills
Bet you didn't realize that you've been taking pictures on your phone wrong this entire time. I see it almost every day. Perhaps it's a vertical video, a blurry group picture, or a poorly framed shot. Considering how often we use our phones as cameras, it's surprising that most people don't take the time to learn how to utilize them. I know that everyone can't be a photographer, but there are a lot of really simple tips that can drastically improve the quality of the images we take every day. Let me show you.
By Dalton Boehm

A very common problem in the use of smartphone cameras is forgetting to focus. Generally, the only time people think to use manual focus is when autofocus fails them. This is a huge problem. In professional photography, autofocus is rarely (if ever) used Always make an effort to make a manual focus. Pull out your phone and try focusing on different parts of the screen. Notice how dramatically the light can change? This is a major reason that group pictures turn out blurry or dark.
You can put that focus to use with a nicely framed shot. One of the basics of photography is the "Rule of Thirds". This is basically a guideline for where to place the subject of a photo. Imagine equally dividing the photo with two horizontal and two vertical lines. This creates four points where the lines intersect—these are generally where the subjects should be placed.
If that sounds cumbersome to picture
every time you line up a photo, enable the grid on your preview. It will literally tell you how to make your photo look good! It'll be annoying at first but you'll adjust. After a short while, you will do it automatically anyways and you can disable it.
I almost never use flash in my photos. Even with improved flash settings that are being implemented into smartphones, I dislike the look. There's obviously exceptions (for instance, if it's pitch black) but in a normal light scenario, flash creates an amateur feel reminiscent of the 1990s. Rather than depending on flash, work to create a properly lit environment. Everyone can do this — it just requires a little thought. Play around with your surroundings until it looks satisfactory.
Don't rely on digital zoom unless you absolutely have to. It always lowers the quality of your photos. Digital zoom exists because physical zoom lenses are too big or expensive to fit in a common smartphone. This means you have to "zoom" by physically walking closer to the subject. It sounds medieval, but the true medieval concept is poor quality photos.
If people are your subject matter, always use burst mode. Burst mode lets you take multiple photos in rapid succession instead of
tapping to take a picture, hold your finger on the iPhone's camera button and you will take a series of photos. This also works with the volume buttons. Most people will only snap a photo or two of a group
this is horribly wrong. Humans aren't designed to consistently hold an attractive pose for a few seconds. We have micro expressions that last as short as 1/25 of a second. Not to mention other factors like the sun and the wind. The iPhone 5s takes up to 10 photos a second, which more effectively captures the people in our lives. One of those 10 to 50 photos will likely capture everyone in their best light. This is great because you usually don't have to go back and uncomfortably force everyone to re-pose for even more attempts.
Now that you've taken a photo that looks good organically, you can improve it digitally. Learning how to edit photos instead of using just filters makes a huge and easy improvement to your photos. You'll learn as you go, and it's not too hard to pick up by just playing around with factors such as brightness, contrast and saturation. There's plenty of apps that can help with this. I like Aviary or Adobe Photoshop Express, which are both free for iOS and Android.
There you have it! With these tips, you can start creating beautiful images and stop being the person who makes everybody line up for a reshoot.

RELIGION
Religions are meant to coexist
I don't have a lot of patience for those who claim I'm going to Hell because of the religion I practice. Before I settled on Islam as a religion, I was very humbled by the overwhelming number of practices and belief systems people have. And I still am.
Rumi, a fourteenth century Muslim poet writes in his Masnavi about an elephant in a dark room. In this poem people walk into a dark room and each touch a different part of the animal. One touches the leg, the other the ear and another the back. Each declares proudly they know exactly what the animal is, in reality, they are merely describing only a part and mistaking that for the whole.
This is the way we are in our beliefs about God. As the Qur'an says: "but they have split their community into sects, each rejoicing in their own" (23:53). We are one humanity; however, far too often we fall into thinking that we have the monopoly over truth.
I reject this kind of exclusionary language on an ethical level. Seeing this mindset is extremely unhelpful in recognizing the humanity of ourselves and others. It prevents us from realizing we are all imperfect. In reality, we are merely human beings stumbling in the dark, simply trying to understand the world around us.
There was a time when I thought I had found the absolute truth. However, reflecting on my own journey to Islam, I recognized similar paths of spirituality in other people's lives that led them into different religious traditions. Another person's religion can be just as enlightening and enriching to them as mine is to me. Who am I to claim they are wrong, even if I disagree with them on the superficial level of creed?

After all, I'm just a human being stumbling around in the dark. I don't think I have the right to claim I've found

answer to everything
answer to everything.
I see each religion and sect as a different path to the same goal. Each has its own teachings on truth and spiritual life. A specific Qur'anic verse comes to mind: "do you not see that all those who are in the heavens and the earth praise God, as do the birds with wings outstretched? Each knows its [own way] of prayer and glorification" (24:41).
religion has its own ways of "praising God." Some might view this pluralistic idea as contradictory to my choice of organized religion. If I believe that all religions have valuable insights into God, then why settle on just one?
In response I would say that I've come to believe that the way we act in the world is far more important than the truth claims we have. It is far more important to me that my Islamic approach to monotheism translate to moral and spiritual insights rather than be fuel to some pointless argument over dogma.
Besides, perhaps a believer in a different religion than mine might bring to the table a unique insight into God that I have difficulty seeing myself.
There is a second part to Rumi's elephant story. While each of us are using our sense of touch to feel our way through the dark, imagine if we each took a candle instead and lit up the room. Maybe if we came to appreciate each of our individual spiritual insights into God, we could better see this common divine reality we've given a thousand different names to describe.

DANCE
I will do it. I will do it. I will do it. I will do it.
Members of the University Dance Company rehearse in a studio at Robinson Recreational Center. The 35 members of the group are practicing for their upcoming spring concert, April 25 and 26, at the Lawrence Arts Center.

University dance group prepares for spring show
ANISSA FRITZ entertain@kansan.com
With eggshell-white paint, black marley floors and mirrors and bars that line the room, a dance studio at Robinson Recreational Center holds 10 members of the University Dance Company along with one instructor who guides them with direction and a watchful eye through the piece they are working on.
A picture like this is not uncommon for the UDC, as it works toward its goal of having a successful spring concert.
The UDC is a group of the University's finest dancers, 35 to be exact. Each dancer is expected to put in four hours of rehearsal per week for 12 to 13 weeks, and dancers are normally put in more than one piece for a concert.
Second semester member Taylor Flory, a freshman from Brentwood, Calif., who is currently in two pieces for the spring dance concert elaborated on the range of styles that the company does.
"It's really all over the
spectrum because you'll see slow detailed pieces as well as fast high energy pieces, so it's always exciting to see the audiences reactions to the variety of styles," Flory said. Such a large group of talented individuals needs to have
"It is rewarding...to be able to devote my time to something I love and hope to spend my life doing."
ALEXANDRA SIERRA UDC president
a fearless leader. That's where Alexandra Sierra comes in, the UDC's president.
"The best part of leading the company is getting to watch the other dancers perform and grow throughout the semester. I also enjoy working with the other dancers in the business side to promote and share the work that we do as a company," Sierra said. "It is rewarding as a person to be able to devote my time to something I love and hope to spend my
life doing."
Passion exudes from these dancers, but anything great never comes easy. There are many challenges that these dancers face. Grace Haverty, a freshman, said being in the UDC is hard because it can be time consuming depending on how many pieces you are in.
"You really have to focus on time management to get all your homework and other obligations done," Haverty said.
The UDC excels at putting on great concerts and performances all year round for the University students. Through the bruised knees, sore muscles and long rehearsals, the UDC is a truly talented group of individuals whose one desire is to put on a show through the art of dance.
The UDC's spring concert takes place on April 25 and 26 at the Lawrence Arts Center at 7:30 p.m.

'Louder' emerges from tragedy
IMCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — "I didn't record one word I didn't feel whether or not I wrote it," Lea Michele said during a recent listening session for her debut album. "These are words that are parts of me."
"Louder," released last week, shows the Broadway veteran and star of Fox's hit musical "Glee" making a solid bid for pop stardom.
While "Louder" is packed with club-ready dance anthems and sweeping ballads, some beautifully crafted by pop expert Sia Furler, the album doesn't sidestep the personal tragedy that changed the singer's life. Last July, her longtime boyfriend and "Glee" co-star Cory Monteith died from a toxic mix of heroin and alcohol, sending shock waves across the legion of the cheery show's loyal "Gleeks" who watched the pair fall in love both on- and off-screen.
With the highly anticipated
album finished in June, Michele opted to head back into the studio after she postponed the project in the wake of Monteith's death.
"Now that I had this experience happen to me ... we decided to write about it," she told reporters at Pulse Recording, where she cut the album. "We decided that's what felt organic."
Michele teamed with Furler to pen the album's stunning closer, "If You Say So," which was inspired by the last conversation she had with Monteith. That collaboration quickly altered the direction of the album.
"After we had this very, very emotional writing session, we were about to end the day, and she says, 'Listen to this song.'" Michele said. Furler then left Michele alone with "Cannonball," a track produced by Stargate and Benny Blanco that became the singer's debut single.
"I just literally keeled over,
because grief is a very scary thing, and there comes a point where it can really take you down," she said of her reaction to hearing the inspirational ballad. "(The song) lifted me up. It was what I needed to get through my difficult situation."
"And now I will start living to day, today, today / I close the door / I got this new beginning and I will fly / I'll fly like a cannonball," she sings.
"As awkward as it might be, we needed to put something out there to explain to people how I am." Michele added.
"A lot of people don't know how to touch this situation. It's like walking on eggshells. I felt 'Cannonball' ... kind of puts it all out there. It's like this is really hard, we're not denying that it's hard, we're going to get through it, and so it made sense for it to be the first single."
Since "Glee" premiered in 2009, all eyes have been on Michele and her cast mates
to capitalize on the show's early success for solo careers. Michele admits she always wanted to record an album, even if she "never really knew what kind," but the breakneck shooting schedule of the series made it difficult.
"I was really settled at 'Glee' and settled in my personal life, and I thought, 'OK, I get (the show) well enough now I know how to juggle that," she said. "It's like I felt like I had one kid and now I'm ready to have another, and so I decided to make this album."
Despite its often reflective lyrics, Michele's rafter-reaching voice remains the core of the album.
"My goal in all of this was to make an album that was honest, and true to me," she said. "It's something beautiful that came at a very difficult time. If I've learned anything from this past year it's that you have one life. You have to live your life to the fullest. I feel like 'Louder' really expresses that."

'Grand Budapest Hotel' close to comedic masterpiece
MOVIE REVIEW
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Bill Murray stars in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" along with Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton and Jude Law.The movie came out Thursday, March 6.
I'm not sure what the formal definition of a masterpiece is, but "The Grand Budapest Hotel" strikes me as something very close. Wes Anderson, who wrote and directed those modern classics "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Moonrise Kingdom," now gives us "Downton Abbey" on laughing gas.
Sophisticated, silly and wildly incident-packed, it creates a mad rumpus at center stage while hinting at tragedies waiting in the wings. There are fantastically elaborate comic set-pieces, obsessively detailed puppet-theater art direction, and brilliantly crafted action sequences.
MCCLATCHY PHOTO
This rare fusion of technical rigor and madcap wit seals Anderson's claim on the title of America's finest comic filmmaker.
Anderson nimbly evokes a once-upon-a-time Europe of beaux-arts architecture, comic-opera armies and filigreed pastries. He populates this dream world with a sharply drawn regiment of lunatic aristocrats, plucky commoners, and blackguards. The production design is eccentric and inspired. The clashing tones of the hotel's scarlet walls and the staff's royal-purple livery is a visual joke with a color punch line. As before, Anderson frames his players fastidiously, like gems in an elegant display case.
First among them is Monsieur Gustave, peerless concierge of
the Grand Budapest, a gigantic wedding cake of a resort in fictional, Zubrowka. Posture erect to the point of distortion, chin a quarter inch higher than anyone else's, this well-turned-out, narcissistic, over-talkative fellow is a cross between Jeeves and Pepe Le Pew. He not only serves the guests, he also services the richest, blondest and oldest dowagers.
Ralph Fiennes plays M. Gustave with leaping eyebrows, tart line readings and a fey nonchalance about Austro-Hungarian sexual repression. Fiennes is 51 now, a specialist in melanolylo aloof romantics and villains. But here this comedic light bloomer is a mercurial miracle. The discursive plot resembles a Russian nesting doll, with four timelines spanning most of a century. As we step back from present day to the 1930s, the frame shrinks from widescreen to the anachronistic boxy ratio of prewar studio films. Knockabout comedy plays well in that squarish visual scheme, and what a farce this is. One of M. Gustave's most satisfied customers, Madame D. (Tilda Swinton, done up as an ancient grande dame) expires in mysterious circumstances, leaving him a priceless Medieval portrait. As the poker-faced executor of Madame's will, Jeff Goldblum spouts arias of gibberish legaleus in a tone so blandly astringing it's almost musical. Her glowering son (Adrien Brody, all splitters, rages and
tantrums) and his sinister henchman (Willem Dafoe with a werewolf underbite) set out to retrieve the painting by any means necessary. There are breakneck chases and imprisonment, hair's-breadth escapes and giddy, spectacular clifhangers.
At M. Gustave's side for most of the film is his protege,
lobby boy Zero Moustafa (performed with bright, sparrow-like innocence by 17-year-old first timer Tony Revolori). Soaking up his mentor's words of wisdom, and repaying them with acts of boys' adventure derring-do, he's the resourceful sidekick who frequently saves the day. He also gets the girl, a brave
pastry chef played with winning pluck by Saoirse Ronan. There are significant actors in almost every role: Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, Jude Law and Tom Wilkinson for starters.
As various narrators dip in and out of the story, we're left to wonder how much of
it, if any, is true. If there is a naturalistic moment in this madhouse, I missed it. It's sheer screwball delight from one of the most original and brilliantly funny filmmakers ever to work in Hollywood.

Defense: Pistorius has reckless history with guns
BERTO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oscar Pistorius, left, leaves the high court in Pretoria, South Africa, Tuesday, March 11. Pistorius is charged with murder for the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentines Day in 2013.
PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius fired guns in public in the months before he killed his girlfriend — once out of a car sunroof on a road and once in a crowded restaurant, a onetime friend, said at the athlete's murder trial Tuesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The account by Darren Fresco portrayed Pistorius as a reckless hothead infatuated with firearms and seemingly drifting down a precarious path before he fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door at his home before dawn on Feb. 14, 2013.
Fresco's description of how Pistorius once berated a police officer fit the prosecution's attempts to cast the double-ampute athlete as prone to flashes of anger and blinded by an inflated sense of entitlement at a time when his public image was that of a clean-cut poster boy for overcoming adversity.
"I said to him, are you (expletive) mad?" Fresco testified after, he said, Pistorius fired his gun out of the sunroof of the car later on the same day that he had the dispute with the police officer. "He just laughed."
At the same time, the testimony was coming from a man whose own actions were under scrutiny. Judge Thokozile Masipa cautioned Fresco, who was also a friend of Steenkamp, that some questions could intriminate him for offenses including discharge of a firearm in a built-up area, negligent damage to property and reckless endangerment. She said he would not be prosecuted if he answered the questions truthfully.
Pistorius, 27, denies shooting the gun in the car, although now two witnesses say that he did. The athlete is on trial for murder in the killing of Steenkamp, and also faces two firearm charges for shooting in public and a third firearm charge for illegal possession of ammunition.
after an argument.
Pistorius says he shot Steen-kamp by mistake, thinking she was a dangerous intruder. The prosecution says he killed her
The athlete's demeanor in court Tuesday was drastically different from the previous day, when he needed a vomit bucket as he heard a pathologist give graphic details of the injuries he inflicted on his girlfriend when he shot her multiple times.
This time, Pistorius mostly sat with his hands in his lap and often made notes.
Fresco testified that Pistorius' altercation with a police officer happened in late 2012, when their car was pulled over by traffic police for the second time that day. He said Pistorius was furious with an officer for handling his gun, which he had left on the passenger seat.
"You can't just touch another man's gun," Pistorius said to the officer, according to Fresco. "He started telling the officer: 'Now your fingerprints are all over my gun, so if something happens, you are then going to be liable for anything that had happened.' He was furious about that. Someone else had touched his gun."
Fresco and a former Pistonius girlfriend have both testified that the Olympian shot his gun out of the car sunroof later that day. But their stories do not match in parts, a fact highlighted by defense lawyer Barry Roux.
Fresco, who said he was driving the car, testified that Pistorius fired without warning sometime after visiting an unidentified person's house. Samantha Taylor, who was dating the athlete at the time and was in the car, has testified that it happened soon after the altercation with police and after Pistorius and Fresco discussed finding a traffic light to shoot at.
Roux also questioned Fresco about an incident at a packed Johannesburg restaurant in the posh Melrose Arch district in early 2013 — about a month before Steenkamp's death — when he said he handed his gun under the table to Pistorius and it fired. According to Fresco, Pistorius said there was too much "media hype" around him and
asked Fresco to take the blame for the shooting, which he did.
"I knew that he had a big love for weapons," Fresco testified. "My assumption was that he had competency."
"Will you agree,Mr. Fresco, you have uncertainty ... about what specifically happened and what was said?" Roux asked.
Fresco said he had warned Pistorius that the gun was "one-up," meaning it had a bullet in the chamber.
had asked him to take the rap. The friend couldn't pinpoint the precise times.
Roux sought to undermine Fresco's character, questioning why he crumpled up a speeding ticket and threw it on the floor of the car after he and Pistorius were stopped by the police. Fresco also said
Roux asked Fresco when exactly he had warned Pistorius that there was a magazine in the gun and a bullet in the chamber, and when Pistorius
he'd been following some previous testimony in the case on Twitter, which witnesses should not do.
If convicted on the murder charge, Pistorius could be sent to prison for at least 25 years before the chance of parole, the minimum time someone must serve if given a life sentence in South Africa. The judge will ultimately deliver the verdict and decide on any sentence. South Africa has no trial by jury.
Pistorius was born without fibula bones because of a congenital defect, and his legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. He ran on carbon-fiber blades and is a multiple Paralympic medalist. He also competed at the London Olympics but didn't win a medal.

Golf analytics show numbers are not a reflection of success
| MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
BOSTON — If you've spent enough time around a golf course in your life, you have invariably heard the phrase: "You drive for show but putt for dough."
Anyone who has three-putted in an important match can sympathize with the phrase coined in the 1940s by four-time British Open winner Bobby Locke.
Today, you probably head back to the clubhouse after your round, pull out your scorecard and, over the course of some cold beverages, count your number of putts to determine whether your round was a success or failure.
Nearly 70 years later, golf has evolved in such a way that we now know that simply counting putts is not a true measure of success. Tiger Woods' swing coach, Sean Foley, shone a new light on golf's emerging analytical approach last weekend at MIT's Sloan Sports Analytics Conference with the help of Columbia professor Mark Broadie.
That's why Foley, a self-described "swing geek" and "range rat," said he doesn't spend a lot of time around the putting green with clients Woods, Hunter Mahan, Justin Rose or Sean O'Hair.
In 2013, Brian Gay led the PGA Tour in fewest average
putts per round at 27.5. The tour average was 29. After one round, when Woods putted just 27 times on 18 holes, he called it "one of the worst putting rounds I've ever had." Most golfers would have been ecstatic with that number.
So why was Woods so discouraged? Not because he is exceptionally hard on himself. He knew that he didn't make a single putt in the round longer than six feet.
To track his clients, Foley said he uses a statistic called "strokes gained." The PGA Tour leader in 2013 was Luke Donald, with an average of 0.70 strokes gained per round. Most of those are gained away from the putting green.
In golf, a two-putt from 60 feet is a good result. A two-putt from six feet is a huge disappointment. Simply counting doesn't take into account the distance covered.
Strokes gained are calculated relative to Tour average. For instance, the Tour average for an eight-foot putt is 1.50 strokes. So, if a player holes out from eight feet, he or she has gained 0.50 strokes on the field. This can be calculated from any distance and added together after each round, tournament or season to determine leaders.
Broadie said the long game "explains about two-thirds of the scoring." Woods is considered the world's best golfer, but it's not because he is the best putter.
For his career, Woods gains 0.3 strokes on his competitors from driving, 0.7 strokes on approach shots (130 yards and in), 0.4 strokes on short game (inside 30 yards) and 0.2 strokes from putting. He has never ranked lower than fifth in strokes gained on approach shots in his career, using the PGA Tour's shot-tracking software from CDW, an 11 million stroke database that measures every shot within one-foot accuracy and every putt within one-inch accuracy.
"Distance is far more an indicator of success than accuracy." Foley said. "That's maybe not true at the U.S. Open, but overall, if I have the choice of giving someone five extra mph in clubhead speed or have him hit the corresponding number of fairways, net earnings will increase more from the extra swing speed. You have a greater opportunity of gaining strokes."
For Foley, so much of what he does with clients now is less technique and more breaking down their games to a micro level.
"When they start to struggle is when they believe they're in a slump," Foley said. "It's simple math, letting them know where they're strong as well as where they're weak."

Jayhawks shutout double header home opener
The two wins today over South Dakota State (5-14) in Kansas' (17-7) home opener made it three straight shutouts and six straight wins for the Jayhawks.
Both games of the double header resulted in the same score of 8-0. Sophomore infielder Chaley Brickey
had the team high of six RBI for the two contests. She also accounted for five hits, one of which being a homerun. The homerun marked her fourth in five games.
Also leading the pack for the Jayhawks was senior outfielder Taylor Hatfield. Hatfield connected on all three of her at-bats in the first game and had three total RBI in the two games.
Pitching in the first game for Kansas was sophomore pitcher
Kelsey Kessler (10-5). She accounted for 10 strikeouts in the contest and allowed no runs for her third straight game.
On the mound during the second contest was junior pitcher Alicia Pille (6-2). She had five strikeouts and only allowed two hits.
Next up for the Jayhawks is the Jayhawk invitational on March 14-16.

VILLINES FROM PAGE 10
trouble, Villines has been able to bear down and get the ball to Dakota Smith and Jordan Piche' in the late innings. His side arm, slingshot motion is a great compliment to the harder throwing relievers on Kansas' roster.
"To come in as a freshman and pitch in the setup role, and have as much success as he's had, allows you to keep Smith and Piche' fresh," Price said. "He changes the menu with that sidearm delivery that he has allows you to keep mixing things up."
Villines did just that in yesterday's game, but two zeroes couldn't be put up in the final two frames.
"I was able to throw strikes," Villines said. "It's easy to throw strikes and get outs when your defense plays the way they did today."
Villines is a true freshman and is excelling in his first year for the Jayhawks. No earned runs in his first five appearances on the season is an impressive feat for anyone, let alone a rookie.
"Even though he's a freshman, he's a leader," Price said. "He's not quiet; he's one of the loudest guys in the dugout. He's got a little bit of that California swagger."
The Jayhawks may have suffered their fourth loss of the season Tuesday afternoon, but their confidence in Villines was reassured. The freshman hasn't disappointed so far this season, and with his success and sidearm release, there's no reason it shouldn't continue.
"I love catching him," Eldredge said. "He's got two out pitches, and he's going to be a real big asset to our bullpen going forward."

NCAA BASKETBALL Zags march their way to another NCAA tournament trip
LAS VEGAS — At tipoff, Orleans arena seemed a little more subdued than usual for a Saint Mary's-Gonzaga game. The crowd must have sensed this was Zags-Gaels Lite.
Where was Omar Samhan,
baiting the Zags? Where was
Robert Sacre, giving it back?
Where was the Mouthpiece, Matt
Dellavedova, and the Headband
Kelly Olnvk?
Sans the sizzle of recent years — and their ritual matchup in the final — the Zags soldiered through Saint Mary's on Monday night in a campaign that was more functional than frilly. Gonzaga dispatched the Gaels in the West Coast Conference Tournament semifinals, 70-54, to get to the championship against the winner of Brigham Young vs. San Francisco winner.
Among other benefits, it virtually assures the Zags (27-6) a 16th consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament, inasmuch as a loss to either BYU or San Francisco wouldn't be judged a bad one.
"From a coaching point of view, it was great to see," said Zags coach Mark Few, after his 401st victory. "Plan A wasn't always working, Plan B wasn't always working, but these guys stayed with it and found different ways to be successful."
Stylistically, it wasn't the same as Gonzaga's earlier 73-51 and 75-47 landslides over the Gaels this season. Saint Mary's promised a different game plan and delivered, opting to be more physical down low and commit to harnessing Przezmek Karnowski and Sam Dower, who had tattooed them in the first meetings.
Those two combined for only three baskets in 15 attempts, and Saint Mary's Brad Waldow showed up this time, hitting five of seven shots for a team-leading 15 points.
But Saint Mary's picked its poison, this time opting for arsenic over hemlock. David Stockton and Gary Bell Jr. combined for 13 of 21 from the field and 35 points, Stockton in particular allowed to roam free on the perimeter.
Stockton has been assertive in 80 minutes in Las Vegas, driving for the winning basket against Santa Clara and scoring 21 points, with six rebounds, four assists and no turnovers vs. the Gaels.
Gaels coach Randy Bennett tried to walk the fine line between praise and perspective.
He'd be the tournament MVP if they chose it after two games.
"We don't guard him," he said. "Their bigs are such a factor, you have to help somewhere. Some of it has to do with how we play him. I don't want to take anything away from him. He played good tonight."
So did Bell, muscing the ball to the hole, hitting his only two threes and, as Stockton, not turning it over.
"We're at our best when he's hunting shots," Few said.
It was Gonzaga's sixth consecutive victory over Saint Mary's. The two teams had collided five successive times in the tournament finals, and a meeting in the semis bespoke that these two have known greater heights.
"They're good defensively," acknowledged Bennett. "They're the best team in our league defensively. They definitely gave us problems. They gave us problems last year, too."

Brutal Big 12 tournament promises to be intense
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas coach Bill Self was chatting this week with someone who brought up the possibility that some unfortunate team with a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament might have to play its second game against Oklahoma State, which was once considered a Final Four contender.

After winning their 10th straight regular-season title, the Jayhawks earned the top seed. The Big 12 tournament begins Wednesday night at the Sprint Center. But the reward is a first-round bye and a potential matchup with the eighth-seeded Cowboys in Thursday's quarterfinals; the two teams split their two meetings this year.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
lowa State guard Naz Long celebrates after hitting a 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game and send it to over time during a game against Oklahoma State in Ames, Iowa, March 8. Iowa State won 85-81.
"I said, 'Just think if that happens in your conference tournament,' Self responded.
"I think we've always had very competitive Big 12 tournaments," Self said, "but I don't know if I can ever remember where if there's a final between whatever seeds there are, it would be absolutely not a major surprise to anybody. It's going to be a pretty special weekend."
Oklahoma State plays No. 9 seed Texas Tech in the first game Wednesday night. Seventh-seeded Baylor takes on No. 10 seed TCU in the nightcap of a double-header.
The Big 12 has been the runaway leader in conference RPI all season, and some believe that it could land seven or eight teams in the NCAA tournament on Selection Sunday.
Just consider the games that will be played Thursday:
Along with Kansas state or Texas Tech, second-seeded Oklahoma will play the Baylor-TCU winner. No. 3 seed Texas will play No. 6 seed West Virginia, and No. 4 seed Iowa State will play No. 5 seed Kansas State.
"This league," Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said, "is by far the toughest in the country."
That's why the Jayhawks still believe they can earn a No.1 seed to the NCAA tournament, despite their 23-8 record. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (20-11) is teering around the bubble, and a win over Texas Tech might be enough to push the Cowboys firmly into the dance.
Knocking off the Jayhawks would certainly do the trick.
"We're just trying to worry about the next game," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said, "and worrying about all that other stuff doesn't really do you any good."
In that case, here are five things that fans SHOULD worry about:
BUBBLE WATCH: Oklahoma State isn't the only team on the NCAA tournament bubble. Baylor (21-10) would feel much better with a win or two, while West Virginia (17-14) hopes the momentum it picked up by knocking off Kansas last weekend will propel it to enough wins in Kansas City to make a case on Selection Sunday.
CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGE: Kansas is the only current member to have won the Big 12 tournament since 2005 — twice since then, Missouri won the title. In fact, Oklahoma and Iowa State are the only current schools besides the Jayhawks and Cowboys to have won. "No matter what people say, no matter what other teams do," Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart said, "it goes through Kansas."
STAR WATCH: There will be stars-a-plenty at the Big 12 tournament. Andrew Wiggins of Kansas is a potential No. 1 draft pick, Iowa State's Melvin Ejim is the Big 12 player of the year and Smart is also a potential lottery pick. But one player who won't be on the floor is Jayhawks center Joel Embiid, who's been ruled out for the Big 12 tournament and unlikely for the first week of the NCAA tournament because of a stress fracture in his back.
LONGSHOTS: Even long-shots have coaches concerned this year. Texas Tech is the No. 9 seed but has wins over Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas on its resume. And nobody thought TCU would go winless in the league, so the No. 10 seed Horned Frogs could be primed for a first-round upset of the Bears. "We're going to do our best to keep within striking distance, like we have all year long, and give ourselves a chance down the stretch," TCU coach Trent Johnson said.
— its campus is a reasonable drive from Kansas City. That means it'll be tough to secure a ticket to Thursday's first session, when the Cyclones play the Wildcats and Kansas is also in action in a tantalizing double-header.
HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE: Local schools Kansas and Kansas State always pack the Sprint Center, but Iowa State also tends to draw well

Jayhawks need a fearless Tharpe to lead through tournaments
THE MORNING BREW
Think of the point guard as a drama film. There are different tricks to the trade, none are exactly alike, but most viewers know a good one when they see one. "The Godfather," "Titanic," Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Miles. On the other hand, everyone knows a bad one when they see one. "The Last Airbender," Stanley Hudson from "The Office."
Like a good movie, a good point guard can come at it from a variety of ways. Some point guards facilitate. Some point guards create. Some point guards score. It's not about how it gets done, but if it gets done. By the end of the film, or game, you're either left satisfied... or wanting a refund and a have at the director's (point guard's) neck.
you need a Robin Williams to tell Matt Damon it's "not his fault" in "Good Will Hunting." You need a Tyshawn Taylor to make a tough play against North Carolina in the Elite Eight. When the movie or game, is on the line, you hope to God you have a good player. There is a reason why the point guard is called basketball's quarterback, or the main actor. He calls the plays, protects and distributes the ball and leads the team to victory.
By Daniel Harmsen
sports@kansan.com
Last season, Kansas was ousted by point guard Trey Burke and the Michigan Wolverines in the Sweet Sixteen. In the matchup of point guards, Burke outplayed Kansas' Elijah Johnson, but
mostly because he played without inhibition. When things looked bad, he held out hope, and when the game got tight, he relaxed. The same cannot be said for Johnson.
Burke had 23 points on nine of 21 from the field. Johnson had 13 points on four of eight shooting from the field. From just eyeballing the numbers, Johnson was far more of an efficient player that night. But efficiency isn't everything in this game. Especially in March.
Close games are the norm in the NCAA tournament. Having a point guard that thrives in those close, lategame situations can be the difference between a Sweet Sixteen appearance and a Final Four. Johnson missed the front end of his one and one that would have given Kansas a two-possession advantage with 12 seconds left. Trey Burke stepped right into his game-tying 3-pointer as time ran out, sending the game to overtime. Burke made big shots in the extra period, while Johnson
passed up a game-tying layup with three seconds left in overtime, and Kansas had to force up a contested three. It missed, and the Wolverines kept dancing. Kansas headed home.
After the game, Johnson reflected on his play down the stretch.
"We played like we were trying to hold onto something instead of just continuing to play." Johnson said.
Burke sang a different tune.
"We never had the mindset that we were going to lose the game," Burke said. "When we were down 14, we knew anything could still happen. It's March, anything can happen."
THE BREW
In every single Jayhawk loss this season, that's right, all eight of them. Tharpe did not attempt a single free throw. But in some of Kansas's best wins
Since his freshman season, Naadir Tharpe has seen his rebounds, assists, steals and points per game rise. This could be credited in large part to his increased playing time, 29.4 minutes per game (up from 19.4 in 2012 and 5.5 in 2011), but Tharpe has also been more efficient than ever before. His field goal, 3-point and free throw percentage have ascended, along with his rebounds, assists, steals and points per game. He has scored in double digits 11 times this season.
on the season, he found his way to the penalty stripe and put them through. He hit three of four in the Duke win, five of six at Oklahoma, six of seven at Iowa State, four of four versus Oklahoma State, three of three at Texas tech and six of six versus
Oklahoma.
See, when Tharpe is shooting free throws, several things are happening. He is penetrating and getting into the lane. He is knocking down free-bees at an 85 percent rate. He is throwing lob passes to Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid. All of this done fearlessly.
This Kansas team is dangerous. Bill Self roams the sidelines, Embiid protects the rims, Perry Ellis works his magic in the lane, Wiggins runs the floor in transition and Wayne Selden Jr. slashes and scores. All of these pieces will need to be gelling if Kansas hopes to tour North Texas. But none are more important than the point guard. Kansas needs a fearless Tharpe if they want to cut down the nets. I think they will get one. Roll out the red carpet for number 10, the spotlight is yours.

THE MORNING BREW Jayhawks need a fearless Tharpe PAGE 9
COMMENTARY
Team confidence will define Big 12 tournament play
By Mike Vernon sports@kansan.com
The Big 12 tournament got a brand new meaning for Kansas on Monday night.
Edited by Kate Shelton
And who knows what happens if the Jayhawks do make it to that second weekend, and the pressure shifts onto Embid to play.
Sure, the Jayhawks need momentum and good play going into the tournament but it all boils down to one thing confidence.
How well can Kansas play without Joel Embiid?
The popular question will be answered on Thursday at the Sprint Center.
The day started with Bill Self being confident Embid will play in the NCAA tournament. It ended with a stress-fracture and a new prognosis. Embiid is unlikely to play in the tournament's first weekend.
Thus, the pressure on Kansas got heavier. And not just for the NCAA tournament. Kansas fans are rightfully biting their nails, just waiting to see if the Jayhawks can win a Big 12 tournament game. But more than that, the nation is now watching to see how Kansas holds up with its rim-protecting superstar out of the lineup.
If Kansas falls to Oklahoma State or Texas Tech on Thursday, that level of confidence takes a major hit. The tournament committee will be forced to rethink the common conception of Kansas as a two seed
Either way, the events this weekend will be crucially important for an ever-changing Kansas team.
Whoever Kansas plays in that opening weekend will feel like it has a better chance to knock off the mighty Jayhawks surrounding the late season, Embid-less struggles.
But, if Kansas can win on Thursday, if the Jayhawks can show signs of strength without Embiid, then their chances improve to advance in the NCAA tournament.
It'll be up to those upper-classmen leaders — 'Tharpe and Black' — along with Wiggins' flair to get the Jayhawks moving in the necessary direction for postseason play.
Oh, and Andrew Wiggins?
He'll have to continue to inspire the team with the kind of 41-point effort he showed in the loss at West Virginia.
BASEBALL
And the Big 12 tournament provides Kansas a perfect training ground to work toward bettering itself without Embib. Or, of course, it's a ground for the team to stumble before eventually falling to end the season.
Of course anything can happen, but winning in the Big 12 tournament only improves the Jayhawks' seeding opportunities. This, alone, gives Kansas a better chance to make it to the second weekend.
It all goes back to confidence. The Jayhawks need to convince themselves that they can play without Embiid. Naadir Tharpe will have to emerge as a leader who can make others play better even when he isn't shooting well. Tarik Black will have to play without fouling. Landen Lucas will have to contribute in ways Landen Lucas hasn't all season.

After nearly three scoreless innings on the mound from freshman righty Stephen Villines, coach Ritch Price gave the ball to junior righty Dakota Smith in the top of the eighth. Smith who had appeared in just over nine innings for the year, gave up his first home run on the year. A solo shot to right handed shortstop Jose Trevino, his second home run of the day, to tie it up at seven.
by Connor McKay to take an early 1-0 lead after one.
"A lot of it had to do with wind, a lot of it had to do with he is a pretty strong kid, and can barrel the ball, it's baseball you get lucky sometimes," Smith said.
The solo bomb, was followed by a double by first baseman Anthony Sequeira which was enough to give the Golden Eagles an 8-7 victory over the Jayhawks in the Kansas' home opener in its 2014 campaign.
After leaving 35 base runners stranded over the weekend in a series loss, the Jayhawks wasted no time getting their offense going against Oral Roberts University. Left fielder Michael Suitor punched in a two out double, and was brought home
"I was really pleased how we swung the bat early, I really liked our approach at the plate early, we get that 4-1 lead, then all of a sudden we had 13 nonconsecutive bats in a row, and when you do that you give your opposition a chance to get back in the game," Price said.
in the bottom of the second, The Jayhawks took advantage of an early pitching change scoring three runs, to take a 4-1 lead after two.
Coming off the Stanford series where they threw 23 scoreless innings, the Jayhawks expected their defense to continue their momentum in Hoglund. But after a four run inning, that was initiated by four straight singles, the Jayhawks quickly found themselves down 4-5.
As the weather began to cool, so did the bats of both teams. Only a solo shot by Trevino did anything to the scoreboard in Hoglund through the next three innings, and the Golden Eagles clinged to a 6-4 lead after six.
Drew Morovick got the start in the mid-week matchup.
In the bottom of the seventh, Suiter knocked in a two RBI triple to knot it up at six. He was then brought home on a Connor McKay sac ground
out, to take a 7-6 Jayhawks lead after seven.
Had the lajyhawks been able to hang on, Villines would have gotten his first win of the career. He pitched 2.1 hitless innings, striking out two Golden Eagles.
"We fought to the end, it was a good bounce-back from the lack of bats at Stanford, but give them credit they came out swinging the bat," said Suiter.
Jordan Romano was tagged with the win on the mound. The regular closer pitched the final 2.2 innings, allowing only one run off one hit, while striking out three. Smith was given the loss, for the Jay-hawks, he faced just five batters, giving up two runs, off of

With the win the Golden Eagles move to 7-8, with just their second road win on the year. After the loss the Jayhawks fall to 12-4, but still have confidence as they enter conference play this weekend.

Freshman pitcher a bright spot in Kansas loss to Oral Roberts

Side arm pitchers can be like a crossword puzzle in the New York Times. They can confuse, baffle and throw off their opposition. They are a matchup nightmare. No hitter wants to step into the box when a side arm pitcher drops down to hurl a slider that starts at his back and finishes over the zone. It impinges on everything hitters thought they knew about hitting.
For the Kansas Jayhawks, freshman Stephen Villins is the crossword puzzle they
send out.
"He was great." senior catcher Ka'lana Eldredge said, "He did a great job of filling up the zone and throwing strikes."
"I can only remember throwing like that," Villines said. "It just feels right; I don't know any other way."
The freshman toes the rubber with the confidence of

Villines has had a perfect start to the season so far. In his four prior appearances, he has thrown seven innings, given up zero runs, recorded a save and has struck out five.
"He has had a tremendous impact on our team so far," coach Ritch Price said. "He's done really tremendous work for us out there."

Student Senate voted on and passed the Student Fee Review committee's proposals within bill 2014-154 with a vote of 155-3.
POLICY CHANGE COULD RESTRICT
GRADUATE STUDENT
EMPLOYEE HOURS
A petition against the proposed University policy change to reduce the number of maximum weekly hours graduate student employees are permitted to work from 30 hours to 20 was introduced by Student Senate Graduate Affairs Director Pantaleon Florez III in the Student Senate weekly meeting.
English graduate students wrote the petition this past weekend in favor of keeping the 30 hour maximum. Florez personally delivered petition forms to graduates in 32 departments on the Lawrence campus, which he will collect on Friday.
"I think it's hasty of the administration considering they haven't even talked to any of us," Florez said.
Florez is a graduate student hourly employee and said this 10 hour decrease would directly affect his ability to sustain a living. He said the policy change would impact 5,600 graduate students who have the opportunity to hold a University job.
He said every voice counts and hopes to have at least 500 signatures. In addition, he asked senators in the room to collect 24 signatures by Friday to compile an undergraduate support petition.
"We do not wish to see graduate employees lose employment opportunities that are crucial for paying their bills, feeding themselves and their families, and generally establishing a decent standard of living," the petition states.
When Florez asked meeting attendees if they had been
taught by a graduate teaching assistant, nearly every student raised a hand.
"I don't think you want hungry GTAs," Florez said.
Florez will deliver the petition to Provost Jeffrey Vitter the Monday following spring break in the Tuition Advisory Committee meeting. He said administration failed to notify students of the policy change.
Florez added that if students want to sign the undergraduate support petition, they can visit the Student Senate offices in the Kansas Union.
SUA FEE REMAINS AT $5
Student Union Activities was one of the groups whose student fees were addressed in the Student Fee Review Committee's passed bill, and after a successful attempt to amend the committee's
"We don't like asking students for money, but we'll be struggling to maintain the programs that students wanted."
MANNY ABARGA KU Recycling
proposal last week, SUA is a step closer to retaining its current $5 student fee.
"I am certainly happy that Senate saw that we are certainly trying to make the most of the $5 that students give us," said Andrew Mechler, the fine arts coordinator at SUA. "We certainly don't take it for granted, and we are very thankful that they continued with that for the coming year."
Some of the issues that were brought to light while amending the proposed fee during the Fee Review Committee last week was that SUA did not provide a sufficient amount of multicultural and academic events along with its live entertainment events.
SUA had initially asked for a raise to a $7 student fee, which Mechler stated during the Senate meeting that SUA had planned to restore some of the series that had been cut in previous years, as well as grow its live music committee with the funds if it had been raised.
Kaitlin DeJong, the vice president of SUA, also voiced her concerns during the Senate meeting that a decrease in student funds could potentially cause SUA to need to cut two of its committees, including its film and media committee, and the spirit committee.
The Student Senate Fee Review Committee voted against increasing the budget for KU Recycling. The current student fee of $4.30 would have been increased to $6.92.
Budget not increased for KU Recycling program
The money for KU recycling goes to programs such as Rock Chalk Recycle, which collects compost waste and recyclable goods at athletic events, as well as picking up and sorting recycling from all over campus. The increased fee would have been used to maintain services and pay off a $100,000 shortfall that was created by increased labor costs and the effects of Rock Chalk Recycling on the overall program.
"It's a tough decision for us. We don't like asking students for money, but we'll be struggling to maintain the programs that students wanted," said Manny Abarca, KU Recycling operations coordinator. "We'll just have to get creative in finding ways to reduce costs."
KU Recycling has said it may have to reduce pickups on campus and presence at athletic events or cut student jobs if another source of funding can't be found.
PROPOSED REFERENDUM WOULD LET STUDENTS VOICE OPINIONS ON COALITIONS
The meeting ended with a proposal by Senate Chief of Staff Tyler Childress
and Senator Mark Savoy to include a referendum on this year's ballot that would ask the student body directly if they want coalitions removed from the elections process.
Savoy said Senate must trust that the student body knows enough about the election process to make an informed decision.
"We have to place our faith in the electorate," said Savoy, a third-year law student from Overland Park.
The referendum would be considered binding, but once students voted on it, the Senate would be responsible for carrying out the student body's wishes.
In fall 2013, Senate voted to keep coalitions and pursue other election reforms, and the proposed referendum would essentially supersede the voting power of next year's election, according to Childress.
"This is asking your constituents how they feel about the issue," said
Childress, a senior from Coffeyville.
Alek Joyce, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, voiced his opposition to the proposal. He said the bill was generated without going through a committee and presented tonight without being on the agenda.
"I don't think this is the right way to approach this," Joyce said.
Joyce proposed an amendment that would allow for other possible answers, such as "I need to learn more" and "I have no opinion" instead of just "yes" or "no" answers on this question. He also suggested including a survey to gather information from the student body while not creating an automatically binding resolution.
"It's like going to a football game and asking about the sports fee," joyce said.
In a 41-13 vote, Senate decided to move the proposed

Full senate votes to eliminate Athletics fee
news@kansan.com
It's now Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's decision whether or not to uphold Student Senate's decision to eliminate more than $1 million in student fee money that goes to Kansas Athletics.
In a 55-3 vote, Senate passed a bill Wednesday night to eliminate the $25 semesterly campus fee to offset travel expenses for women's and nonrevenue sports. Students pay between $1.2 and $1.3 million to the athletic department in 2014 through the current fee. In 2012, the fee accounted for 1.6 percent of Athletics' revenue.
"It's time to bring this money back to student groups," Tetwiler said.
Tetwiler said he will sign the bill, sending it to Vice Provost for Student Affairs Tammara Durham. Senate said Durham does not have the power to veto the bill. From there, it goes to Gray-Little's desk. If she vetoes the bill, it will be sent back to Student Senate for amendment.
Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony has stressed how the fee helps KU Athletics comply with federally mandated Title IX standards.
No representative from Athletics attended the meeting.
"You think that would make a difference?" Marchiony asked.
Marchiony said Athletics will not officially comment until Gray-Little makes the final decision.
Student Senator Patrick Jacquinot defended the fee. Jacquinot served on the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Advisory Board, which is a group of students tasked with providing a fiscal recommendation to

Venezuelan panel discusses human rights violations
MCKENNA HARFORD
news@kansan.com
At the beginning of the year, graduate student Erica Dalman took a trip to Venezuela to visit friends she made while growing up there. Just weeks later, protests broke out all over the country.
"It's where I grew up, and it's a country where people are fighting for freedom and democracy," Dalman said.
Dalman will speak about the social unrest in Venezuela at the Venezuelan Panel, which will be hosted by the International Student Association today at 6 p.m. in the Jayhawk room at the Kansas Union.
The protests, which have been going on for about a month, started with students who were unhappy about their education and the job market. The protests have since spread
"I think the Venezuelan people are fed up with what's going on, so I don't see the protest dying down anytime soon," Dalman said.
One of the reasons that Dalman believes the situation in Venezuela should be important to KU students is because they can understand
to become a protest of the insecurity and violence that affect citizens throughout Venezuela.
"It's important to realize that it was a student-led movement, [with] people like you and I realizing that once they graduate, they're not going to be able to do anything with their degree," Dalman said. "I think we can relate to that, it'd be pretty infuriating."

KU IT site redesign improves navigation
MADDIE FARBER
news@kansan.com
KU IT is introducing a newly redesigned Kyou Portal this week. The redesign is an ongoing effort by the IT Department to improve access to online services for students and faculty, improve navigation, integrate current and new services and more. David Day, director of IT External Affairs, discussed what's about to happen:
KANSAN: Why was there a redesign?
DAY: Over the past year, KU IT has been working to re-design the myKU portal and make it a one-stop shop for accessing the many online services you depend on at the University of Kansas. This redesign is part of the overall initiative. And, this work will continue as we look for ways to integrate current services and new services as they're introduced.
DAY: KU IT has been implementing infrastructure changes within the portal, and this redesign leverages much of that work. The new design incorporates enhanced KU branding that is better aligned with KU websites that were developed in the CMS (Content Management System) as part of the University's Bold Aspirations IT initiatives.
KANSAN: Why now?
KANSAN: What will be new?
DAY: There will be a new login page, improved navigation and some of the content has been reorganized to streamline access. For students: Course & Grades and Blackboard were moved to the main screen. MySuccess was relocated under Academics.
KANSAN: Was there any student input?
questioned why they had to go different places to access all the online services at KU, such as Blackboard, Enroll & Pay, etc. KU Chief Information Officer Bob Lim meets regularly with student consultation groups, as well as with student body leaders, to get feedback on new services and changes to existing services that will benefit students.
DAY: The idea to redesign the myKU portal into a one-stop shop for accessing online services came from students, faculty and staff who
KANSAN: When was the latest redesign done?
DAY: We made some design change to the portal in August 2013, and in January we changed the name from Kyou portal to myKU portal, and changed the URL to myku. edu. As previously mentioned, the redesign is part of an overall on-going effort. KU IT is working to continue improving access to current online services, and as we introduce new services we will evaluate how they should be integrated into the portal.

Tetwiler stressed how athletic departments' revenues across the country are "skyrocketing" reducing the need for this fee.
Senate representatives, including Tetwiler, have questioned the necessity of the fee to Athletics' — a $93.6 million corporation — well being. The fee's original purpose coincided with federal enforcement of Title IX in 1979. It started at $1.50 a semester.
"I think the fee shows we support our student athletes," Jacquinot said. "The main point for me being up here is to stress I feel we need to keep a positive relationship between us and our student athletes and show that the student body supports them."
If Gray-Little does not veto the bill, Athletics will have to find an alternate way to sustain its current level of operation. This includes the possibility of raising the price of a voluntary $150 ticket package students can pay to attend basketball and football games.

The fee, officially known as the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee, helps keep travel equitable for those non-revenue sports. In 2013, Kansas Athletics spent $6,601,009 on total travel expenses.
"Our women's sports teams are going to be great," Tetwiler said. "Our Athletics Department is going to be great without this."
Of the four Big 12 schools that have a required student fee and an optional student ticket package, Kansas' cost of $150 is the cheapest by $100.

KJHK awarded for dedication to station

FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN KIHK moved its studio into
KJHK senior Sarah Brennan runs the French Connection, a slot of songs from France. KJHK moved its studio into the Kansas Union in the spring of 2010. Its radio programs run 24/7.
On Tuesday, the Society of Professional Journalists honored student-run radio station KJHK with five regional awards. The station won two awards for In-Depth Reporting, two for Features Reporting and one for Best Affiliated Website.
These awards are a result of the hard work that KJHK hosts put in behind the scenes to generate such high-quality content.
"I would spend all day working on a setlist and picking out the right music and making sure [the setlist] had a good flow to it," said DJ Haven Harbert, who's on her third semester with KJHK. "We put in hard work to think of good things."
Harbert's show, Femme FM,
runs Wednesday nights from
10 p.m.-midnight.
The turnaround from Wednesday night's show to Thursday morning is a fast
one. Harbert needs to be on campus at 8:30 a.m. for her campus job. Despite this, Harbert says there's no major conflict in her schedule.
"Matt [Primovic], the program director, is very good at making sure you have a time that fits comfortably [into your schedule]," she said. "You may have to adjust some things but he's never going to give you something where you will have to rush from one place to another."
While Harbert juggles her show, work and school, DJ Vince Meserko takes commitment to the next level.
"I started out doing live events staff [for the radio station] in 2006," he said. "It has to be some kind of record."
Right now, Meserko, a fourth-year Ph.D student, is trying to balance two radio shows and a dissertation on the topic of soul music. On top of that, he's a graduate teaching assistant in the communications department.
Meserko's first show was in the Sunday morning 8-10 a.m. timeslot.
"I'll spend an hour and a half
working, putting together my playlists. I want every song to flow together," Meserko said. "So for it is a commitment."
to the DJ shift and see all the wreckage from Saturday."
"It was a great time to DJ," Meserko said. "The station used to be right across from the stadium. It was always fun on Sunday mornings to drive
Meserko has played the same shows for five years. One, Hickory Wind, features traditional country and folk music, while the other, The Juke House, is a tribute to soul and blues music.
Over the past eight years, Meserko has noticed the effort of the KJHK staff to produce
new and unique content.
"The station has changed a lot since I've been there," Meserko said. "I think people affiliated with the station target their energies in different places. So now we have a lot of online content. We have people doing some incredible videos and interviews online that we didn't have originally."

Big 12 council creates leadership opportunities
CAMPUS
MCKENNA HARFORD
news@kansan.com
After years of being involved in Black Student Government, juniors Katherine Rainey from Shawnee, Paige Whiteside from Overland Park and Somorah Smith from Lincoln, Neb., have big plans for the Big 12 Council on Black Student Government.
Rainey, Whiteside and Smith were elected chair, vice chair and secretary, respectively, at the Big 12 Conference, which was Feb. 27 to March 1 at Iowa State University.
To have three executive council members from the same school is very rare. It's an honor the girls take seriously.
"It's just exciting." Rainey said. "I love the fact that we were all willing to step up and be leaders on such a huge scale. I think it shows that our (Black Student Union) fosters leaders."
As chair, vice chair and secretary, the women will get a chance to manage the other committees in the Big 12 Council, including the finance and public relations committees. Rainey says that one of her plans as chair is to create goals for every committee that improves upon last year's accomplishments.
"At the conference we will reach anywhere from 400 to 600 students all over the Big 12 and I love the idea of us being more active in playing a role showing students that you can be leaders and creating opportunities for growth," Rainey said.
"My hope is to continue to expand," Smith said. "To make not only council better, but the website a better thing and making scholarships so much bigger."
Smith will be in charge of sending out conference information and promotions to all of the Big 12 schools and committees. Rainey adds that communication will be more efficient between members and their schools this year because they are all
at the University of Kansas. Smith will also work to be a "bridge of communication" to help schools reach out to their students.
Vice Chair Whiteside will be mainly focusing on the Freshman Action Committee, which is a group under the Big 12 Council that gets freshmen involved with the freshman version of Black Student Union, which is the Kansas branch of the Black Student Government. She says one of her main concerns this year will be the committee's philanthropy project; one of her ideas for the project is to build a high school bridge program.
school can meet with the Freshman Action Team and build connections, so that way when they do come to college they don't feel like they don't know anyone and they can be more acclimated to campus." Whiteside said.
In order to encourage this behavior, the council gives away around $8,000 in scholarships and awards each conference. Junior Jolene Gilkey from Wichita received the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. award, which is awarded to a student who contributes to breaking walls of social inequity, and the Nelson Mandela award, which is awarded to a student who exemplifies leadership,
The idea is that through improvements in every committee, the Big 12 Council will be able to increase retention rates, build a network of students to mentor and form leaders within the campus communities.
"Any students that have been admitted to their prospective
courage and self-sacrifice. She was awarded for her work in creating diverse communities and being a role model to other students.
"I hope that more students recognize that they can become leaders too as long as they work hard toward it," Gilkey said.

BIG 12 COUNCIL FACTS
The University has been a part of the Big 12 Council since it was founded in 1977 as the Big 8 Council.
The next Big 12 conference will be hosted by Oklahoma State University on Feb. 26-28. Kansas will host the conference in 2016.
The Big 12 Council meets three other times a year for community service and political action projects.
How hard is it to win an NCAA championship? There are only 14 schools with more than one. Kansas is one of only seven programs with more than two.

Lawmakers need to examine anti-poverty legislation
President Lyndon Johnson began the War on Poverty in the 1960s, introducing sweeping legislation that aimed to lower the United State's relatively high poverty rate. A wide variety of programs were introduced, including Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, the Job Corps and Work Study. These programs have a history of being questioned by conservatives for their cost and perceived ineffectiveness.
Representative Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, recently issued an attack, questioning the need for such programs. In a 204-page report, Ryan states that these federal programs are not working well enough to justify their cost. Ryan commented, "For
too long, we have measured compassion by how much we spend instead of how many people get out of poverty. We need to take a hard look at what the federal government is doing and ask, 'Is this working?'
The answer to Ryan's question is yes. Research analyzing the trends in poverty since Johnson's time as president shows that the situation has improved. According to the Pew Research Center, poverty rates have fallen from 19 percent in 1644 to 15 percent today. A team of researchers from Columbia University has concluded that, adjusting for economic markers such as inflation and tax benefits, the poverty rate in 1644 was as high as 26 percent.

Lawmakers like Ryan
often state that federal anti-poverty programs trap people in a cycle of dependency instead of raising individuals out of poverty, as they are intended to. Ryan's report states, "Benefits decline as recipients make more money - poor families face very high implicit marginal tax rates. The federal government effectively discourages them from making more money."
Views like this are common in the United States, where poverty is often viewed as a
personal failing. The poor are viewed as lazy, preferring to live off of welfare rather than work for a living. A Pew poll shows that the majority of Republicans believe poverty is the result of an individual's lack of effort, while most Democrats believe it is because of circumstances beyond that individual's control.
Increasingly, research shows that it is structural failings, not personal failings, that keep poverty rates high. The jobs accessible for those in poverty are often part time with low pay that offer little to no benefits. In addition, social mobility for those in the lowest income brackets is exceedingly low; it is near impossible for those born into poverty to escape.
Ryan's attack on the federal
programs that aim to help those in poverty is no answer to this problem. As the New York Times stated in an editorial, "It's easy to find flaws or waste in any government program, but the proper response is to fix those flaws, not throw entire programs away as Mr. Ryan and his party have repeatedly proposed."
However, Ryan's report does show the need for the government to change the way it thinks about poverty. The United States needs to find a way to eliminate the structural causes of poverty and make it easier for those born into it to enter the middle class.

Honesty not the best policy: the truth about cover letters
The worst part about applying for jobs, other than knowing I'm potentially enslaving myself to a desk for the next 50 years, is undoubtedly writing cover letters. I hate having to write and rewrite a letter where I basically lie in order to suck up to potential employers. "I want nothing more than experience," I'll say. Or, "My work as a summer associate has fully prepared me for a position in your company." Finally though, after more than 150 submitted applications, I've reached my limit. What follows is my true, honest cover letter, written partly from frustration, but also partly in the hopes that an employer will read this, chuckle a bit and finally call me in for an interview.
Dear (insert company name here),
My name is Preston Bukaty. I am a third-year law student at the University of Kansas seeking a position as whatever job opening you have available. Hopefully it pays a lot, but I somehow doubt that it will.
I would be a good fit at (insert company name) because I am very poor, and am thus very motivated to do paid labor. I'm not entirely sure what you guys do, because your website is filled with vague euphemisms like, "We're driven by excellence." That doesn't matter though; I'll do pretty much anything.
By Preston Bukaty opinion@kansan.com
You also say you want someone who is "able to get things done without a lot of oversight." As it turns out, I've been managing my own life without any kind of oversight for quite some time. Laundry, bills, groceries, homework — I've even managed to get laid once or twice without anyone hunched over my shoulder telling me what to do. Basically the fact that I'm an adult who participates in society shows I can get things done without a lot of oversight.
I will answer phones, file documents or break rocks on the side of the road, as long as you pay me. I don't really care that much, because it will probably be pretty boring no matter what you have me doing.
What else? You say "the right candidate is a resourceful multi-tasker" I must fit the bill perfectly then, because since I was 12. I've been able to manage the responsibilities of no
I'm not really sure how I'm exactly qualified for this position, because your job posting is also rather vague. It basically only asks that applicants be "hungry and motivated." Well I can tell you this
— in three months, I will have $0 in my bank account, so chances are I'll be very hungry and pretty motivated to do anything to receive a paycheck. Does that count?
less than five different classes at any time during a semester. That's more than 10 years of successful multi-tasking! I'm so good at it now, I can even text and drive without getting into a wreck, which is more than some people can say about driving normally.
If you'd like specific examples though, some of my previous work experience may better demonstrate how I'm qualified for this job. I spent the summer of 2013 working as an associate for a law firm in Kansas City. I could say more about how the skills I learned there would help your company, but chances are you won't look past the words "law firm," so what's the point? You wouldn't be the first company to completely blow me off with a response like, "We're not looking for lawyers."
Still, because I am incredibly desperate, I would appreciate the opportunity to show you what I can bring to your company. Thank you for your consideration and time. I will contact you in a week to confirm you received my materials, although you will continue to ignore me until I eventually give up and stop calling.
Sincerely,
Preston Bukaty

Sean Powers, business manager spowers@kansan.com
I didn't know the answers to those questions. I was scared. I didn't want to think about it at all. The worst years of my life were behind me, right? This was the constant examining process that went through my head over and over again.
Full of unknown and unanswerable questions, I went home over break hoping some familiarity would somehow give me some sort of confidence going forward. But it didn't. I woke up feeling awful, I didn't want to do anything.
It didn't really help that I have suffered through depression before, because it has attacked differently each time I have been through it. And this time, I ignored the fact that something was wrong.
Kolby Botts, sales manager kbotts@kansan.com
The idea that I was most afraid of was that I would be facing the state of solitude alone. Not fully alone, but I'd be in college away from parents, who were so instrumental in helping me out of my depressive state two years ago.
Over break I made poor decisions that lacked judgment, and overall thinking in general. I got mad at my parents, sister and friends like a confused teenager. I wasn't quite me, and I felt as though I'd forgotten how to be myself.
When I actually thought about it, I knew things had to change. Especially before the spring semester began, or I would be in trouble. It did help to be around my parents, because without them I would have had almost no judgment

or guidance.
I slowly began to get back in the swing of things right before break ended, yet far from "cured," so they say. And as I think about it now, what made this depressive period of three months so different from previous experiences was that it never had finality. I never went to therapy, had doctor visits or talked with my parents.
The Department of Psychology here at the University has multiple resources in place for students dealing with depression. Whether you simply need someone to talk to, or professional advice and care. They are there to help you take on whatever you may be dealing with.
I sit here today, fully aware of my depression. It comes and goes, and it picks the days where I'm going to feel the worst. But it has gotten much better since November.

Casbah's 'Game Night' boasts vintage games
...
ANDREW HOSKINS
Like Marco Polo venturing to the far East and returning to Italy with gold, spices and the riches of Kublai Kahn, Dylan Woods traveled extensively throughout Chicago and Portland about two years ago and returned to Lawrence with the idea for The Casbah's "Tuesday Night Game Night."
entertainment@kansan.com
Woods came up with the idea after visiting numerous "Barcades" in the northwestern United States and Canada. These bars combined all the staples of a regular bar with the camaraderie of social video-game play.
After Woods returned, he pitched the idea to a close friend and Casbah general manager Chris Hoffman, who loved it. Hoffman then established Game Night with a few old video-game systems mostly Super Nintendos and Nintendo 64s—as well as a few sentimentally low-def TVs and a handful of classic games. Tuesday Night Game Night, typically characterized by about seven screens of casual video-game competition and one weekly tournament, has since evolved into a popular weekly event on a generally unpopular night.
Over a year after its founding, Tuesday Night Game Night now boasts more than 100 games and eight game systems. Every Tuesday night, The Cashah, located at 803 Massachusetts St., hosts a 32-entrant, March Madness style tournament on
"Tuesday nights were traditionally our slowest nights," Hoffman said. "But since we started Game Night, Tuesday nights are sometimes packed. Sometimes tournament players have to spill into other parts of the bar."

While Tuesday Night Game Night is mostly focused on adults, underage gamers are allowed to come and compete. The Casbah observes a strict no-tolerance underage drinking policy, but does allow younger gamers to enjoy the atmosphere.
"It was nice coming down here and seeing the old, classic games I used to play," Covert said. "There's a great sense of nostalgia about this place."
The older Nintendo systems are very popular among all ages. Despite being newer, the Nintendo Wii and an Xbox aren't nearly as popular as the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. The wide interest in the older games create a strong social atmosphere, and bartender Paul Smith said it is the love of vintage gaming that makes Game Night so special.
"I bartend full time, and people will see me upstairs and talk to me about video games," Smith said. "The best part is meeting all the gamers."

Law professor reveals hidden US rape crisis
ITOM DEHART
TOM DEHART
name@kansan.com
On March 4, University Associate Law Professor Corey Rayburn Yung, published an article in the Iowa Law Review entitled "How to Lie with Rape Statistics: America's Hidden Rape Crisis."
The article analyzes the undercounting of rape statistics in 46 cities in the U.S. with a population of more than 100,000 people, estimating that about 800,000 to 1.2 million "complaints of forcible vaginal rapes of female victims nationwide disappeared from the official records from 1995 and 2012."
The population of Lawrence was not large enough for it to meet Yung's criteria for his study, but he said in an interview that nothing in his study indicated that Lawrence, or anywhere in Kansas, has been involved in undercounting of statistics.
Yung's study found that Kansas City, Mo., was one of the 46 cities likely to substantially undercount reports of rape. Topeka and Wichita were also included in the study, but did not have any instances in substantially undercounting rape.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, the Lawrence Police Department public affairs officer, said that the number of rape crimes reported to the Lawrence Police Department by victims is lower because of the personal nature that is sometimes present between the offender and the victim. McKinley also stated that being intoxicated eliminates, by law, the ability for consent to be made between individuals.
"I think when it comes to a stranger that would, say, grab someone off the street and rape them. I think the likelihood of those type of incidents being reported are higher than some of the other types of situations," McKinley said. "Whether it be a dating type of thing, potentially even a marriage type of thing."
According to the Uniform Crime Reporting statistics filed on the City of Lawrence's website, a total of 130 reports
of sexual assaults: 54 rapes, 13 incidents of forcible sodomy, 56 incidents of forcible fondling, and 7 incidents of statutory rape were reported in the year 2012.
This undercounting of statistics affects the data that the FBI uses annually to generate the Uniform Crime Reporting statistics.
According to Yung, these cities that are responsible for the undercounting of cases used three methods to remove complaints that are difficult to detect. These three methods include designating a complaint as "unfounded" with little or no investigation, classifying an incident as a lesser offense, and failing to create a written report that a victim made a complaint.
"I think when it comes to a stranger that would ... grab someone off the street and rape them. I think the likelihood of those ... incidents being reported are higher."
TRENT MCKINLEY
Public affairs officer
"These three methods can be implemented consciously if the police want to respond to public and political pressure towards decreasing violent crimes," Yung said. "So they just would manipulate the numbers or encourage this practice, and in fact that seemed to be true in those departments and in other departments across the country [that] had been caught in the past doing this."
Yung said that these methods can also occur on a subconscious level as a result of departments being hostile toward rape complaints, who may try to discourage the reports from being filed.
"These practices are certainly due to a variety of reasons, and we don't necessarily know with any given city what the overriding motivation is, but the effect is the same, which is the cases don't get investigated and the rapes aren't counted in our official violent crime statistics;" Yung said.
Yung writes in his article that in one of the more extreme cases in Cleveland the dismissal of rape complaints "demonstrated the real danger from undercounting" when police discovered 11 decomposing bodies in the home of Anthony Sowell, a serial rapist and murderer, after following up on these reports after the third complaint.
"The previous complaints — even one that said they saw a severed head in the bathroom, and had wounds from their escape from this house — didn't trigger an investigation because the police designated the complaints 'unfounded,' Yung said. "And so the result was, that when they finally went to his house, they discovered — you know — a dozen decomposing bodies. And this meant that he continued his crimes after the initial complaint was made, and we don't know how many people may or may not have survived had the police acted sooner."

KEY POINTS
Associate Law Professor Corey Rayburn Yung published an article in the Iowa Law Review exploring America's the undercounting of rape cases in Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics
Media outlets in cities including Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans and St. Louis initially exposed this elimination of official rape statistics.
The city of Lawrence's population did not meet Yung's criteria to be examined, but Yung stated his study does not indicate undercounting occurring in Kansas.
Sgt. Trent Mckinley, the public affairs officer for the Lawrence Police Department said that he expects the number of complaints that are brought forth by victims to be significantly less than incidents that actually occur. Services for victims of sexual violence in Lawrence include the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity as well as the GaDuGi SafeCenter.
MOVIE REVIEW
Ford
WALT DISNEY STUDIOS
Characters and plot fail to impress in 'Need for Speed'
"Need for Speed" accelerates to some truly pulse-pounding races, chases and crashes during its 130 minute runtime, but the momentum comes to a screeching halt because of its plodding narrative plotting.
For an over-the-top car racing movie based on a franchise of essentially storyless video games, there sure is an awful lot of time spent trying to get viewers invested in the story and characters. So much so that it takes away enjoyment from what the audience actually cares about: the high-octane car action.
By Alex Lamb
entertain@kansan.com
Not even Aaron Paul from "Breaking Bad" can bring much interest to the non-vehicular side of the film. Poor lesse can't catch a break
Paul plays Tobey Marshall, a renowned street racer with a vendetta against his old rival and racing champion Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper), who framed him for a crime he didn't commit. To get revenge, Tobey plans to expose Dino after defeating him in the De Leon, a secret high-stakes race in California. So he gets his old crew back together, brings along a car-savvy babe (Imogen Poots) and begins the cross-country trip to reach California in 48 hours, evading police.
Sounds simple enough, but first-time screenwriter George Gatins can't keep the narrative moving at the same pace of the cars. It's slowed down by tons of plot holes and
overlong plot developments, hollow characters (Tobey's traffic-watching pilot friend being the worst offender, occasionally delivering some laughs but mainly annoying as the "lively black guy" stereotype) and strong disregard for reality. Not that this kind of movie should try to be all that realistic, but when it takes itself too seriously, it's much harder to forgive the ridiculous elements and relish the entertainment.
At least "Need for Speed" starts off well and the stunts do impress. The first two races exhilarate, showcasing the awesome 3D and using moving camera zooms to fantastic effect. Zoom techniques are employed throughout, and they do wonders to enhance the intensity. Paul even manages solid mileage as the quiet bad boy charmer, at first.
But when his quest for revenge begins,he's a bit too earnest,a little lacking in playful charisma and not particularly compelling. The soft and saccharine score rarely works,but it especially detracts from Paul's performance in more reflective moments.He
maintains the drama when he's up against Cooper, who plays the villain with some contemptible class but little else to hang on to, yet Paul doesn't bring much energy to the character the majority of the time he's in the car.
Poots, on the other hand, outshines Paul. She's smart, determined and in over her head, and she has a disarming appeal that grows during the drive. Their chemistry strengthens as they become more vulnerable, although Poots brings more life to her character.
While the whole film is building up to the De Leon race, by the time it actually arrives, you don't care anymore. Director Scott Waugh has a terrific grasp of intense action, which he proved in his previous movie, "Act of Valor." Nearly all of the stunts were done practically here, with real cars and little CGI. It definitely shows.
But too much car action without enough differentiation in the sequences becomes tiresome. Especially when it keeps getting interrupted by a story that's always riding the brakes. "Need for Speed" is like watching a car chase live on TV, complete with all the daring moments of high speed maneuvers and the boring segments driving in a straight line forever.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY The case for the Cowboys
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
Just like many imagined. Kansas and Oklahoma State will meet up for a third time this season.
Unlike anyone imagined, game number three will occur in the Big 12 quarterfinals. Regardless, this is the one fans wanted to see. The storybook ending to the saga that has been the Big 12 this season.
It's iust not KU's story.
It's just not KU's story. This narrative belongs to Oklahoma State. The team that was a lock to win the conference when Marcus Smart announced his return for a sophomore season. The team that was forced to share a pedestal with Kansas before any of its top-tier recruits stepped foot on campus. The team tasked with knocking off the Big 12's kings.
"Yes, we are supposed to be a pretty good basketball team this year," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said at Big 12 media day in October. "It's something we talk about, but we fully grasp that Kansas is still a team to beat."
And in the Cowboys' quest to knock off the nine-time champs they suffered more than they succeeded. They watched helplessly as piece by piece of the dream year fell apart.
They could only push forward after Michael Cobbins' season-ending injury. Ford didn't have a choice but to kick backup point guard Stevie Clark off the team after his arrest. In the midst of a seven-game conference losing streak Marcus Smart shoved a fan in Lubbock, Texas, and got suspended three games by the league.
And while the Cowboys sank Kansas rolled, taking a large conference lead en route to a 10th straight Big 12 championship.
Sure, Oklahoma State got some anger out in a home victory against the Jayhawks. Not that it mattered. Kansas sealed up an outright title with 15 minutes left in the first half of that game.
So the Cowboys played for a chance to make the NCAA Tournament. They played for pride. All the while the unflappable Jayhawks complained about not being able to celebrate their championship.
You know, the problems of the prosperous.
That's when the Cowboys were supposed to have overcome the adversity that's so talked about with successful teams. That's before Naz Long hit a desperation 3-pointer leading to an Oklahoma State overtime loss to Iowa State.
This is a story about a team that has fallen again, and again and again — no, TCU, not you.
This is about a team that blew past Texas Tech to set up a final meeting with the team it was always meant to knock off. This is about resetting a matchup that was always meant to have greater implications. This is about playing for more than pride. This is about playing for titles.
And this story is not about Kansas.
"We understand the challenge is going to be an incredible challenge," Ford said Wednesday night. "One of the great teams in the country, and they've proven it all year long."

NFL free agency puts familiar faces in new places
The NFL's free agency period started Tuesday at 4 p.m., and it proved to be a wild first day as big names from multiple teams were released, signed and traded around the league.
While this first day in free agency is no Super Bowl Sunday, the implications that stem from teams acquiring new players will certainly have a crucial role in who advances to the Super Bowl next February.
One of the big-name players who signed a contract with a new team happened to be former Jayhawk defensive back Aqib Talib. The two-time pro-bowler signed a six-year deal with the Denver Broncos worth $57 million, including $26 million guaranteed. This signing is probably bitter for most Jayhawks fans who also dub themselves Chiefs fans, as they'll have to root against Kansas' best NFL player for years to come in the AFC West.
Nine-year veteran defense end Demarcus Ware of the Cowboys was also a surprise release on free agency's first
By Matt Corte sports@kansan.com
A trade that surprised NFL fans on free agency's first day was Jonathan Martin of the Miami Dolphins being sent to the San Francisco 49ers. Martin walked away from the NFL this season after being the victim of bullying from Dolphins player Richie Incognito, and indicated he would not return to the Dolphins. Jim Harbaugh had a huge impact in landing the ex-Dolphin, as he was also Martin's coach during his tenure
day. He's been dominant in his first nine seasons, totaling 117 sacks in the process and being named first-team All-Pro four times. Only Hall-of-Famer Reggie White had more sacks in his first nine seasons with 137.
The Broncos decided to add Ware as well with a three-year, $30 million contract, and will now field a shoo-in hall of famer on both sides of the field with Peyton Manning still on offense. Watch out NFL.
at Stanford.
If there was an MVP of the day, it was undoubtedly ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter. The man was on a mission and nothing could stop him. He amassed 110 tweets during the span of the whole day, and tweeted 69 times from the 4 p.m. free agency deadline until the end of the night. Talk about swollen thumbs.
about women he

himself. That person would be New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles. The news broke when Shefter tweeted at 6:18,
THE BREW
"Saints still haven't released RB Darren Sproles and now plan to trade him due to heavy interest, per ESPN source. Not being released, though."
Sproles saw this news on Twitter just over a half hour later, and the only word he could muster in response was
"WOW!"
It's clear that he had no idea of the Saints' intention to do this, and it must hurt Sproles knowing he doesn't have the freedom to choose what team he plays for in the future.
The NFLs a business though, and wins mean while
good business while losses translate into
bad business. The time of free agency in the NFL could make or break a team's season for next year, so don't be surprised if morals are thrown to the gutter while money and talent take precedence over everything else.

TIPOFF

AT A GLANCE
Kansas dropped to No. 10 in the Coaches Poll this week after the Jayhawks lost to West Virginia. Kansas and Oklahoma State split the season series; each team won its home game. Both games Embiid played, but this time the Jayhawks will have to battle a tough eight seed without him.
Tharpe will have to guard Marcus Smart, the best point guard in the Big 12 tournament, and Tharpe's defense has been terrible lately. Watch for Tharpe to step up his defense against Big 12 guards to gear up for the NCAA tournament.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Can the Jayhawks win without freshman center Joel Embiid? Kansas is 2-1 without Embiid this season, but the Jayhawks miss Embiid's rebounding ability. Against West Virginia, the Jayhawks gave up a lot of second-chance points from the Mountaineers 13 offensive rebounds.

Nation Tharpe, guard
When Tharpe has a bad game, the whole team suffers. Not only on offense, but on defense too. Tharpe's been an unreliable defender the whole year and his defensive struggles showed against West Virginia where he allowed Juwan Staten to score 24 points.

SAM BURRICK
Wayne Selden Jr., guard
Selden has changed his offensive game from a high-flying dunker to a 3-point shooter because that's what coach Self needs him to be. Selden has become a decent 3-point shooter by shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc.

Perry Ellis, forward
The past three games, Ellis has shot 60 percent from the field. He's improved his mid-range jumper and he's taken five-times more 3-point shots this season. Without Embid in the frontcourt, Ellis has averaged 20 points per game.

OKLAHOMA STATE (21-11,8-10 Big 12)
Tarik Black, forward
As reported Monday, freshman center Joel Embiid will miss the Big 12 tournament. Black will be in this spot until Embiid's back injury improves. Black struggled in the recent matchup in West Virginia, where Black had a two-point, four-rebound day.

Marcus Smart, guard

Forte has scored 20 or more points in four of his last six games. He ranks second in the conference in 3-point field goals made and 3-point percentage.

The lone senior in the starting lineup is a dual-threat guard who can drive to the rim or shoot the three. He has excelled against the Jayhawks this season, totaling 36 points and eight 3-pointers.

Le'Bryan Nash, forward
Named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. Nash is a tall, hybrid guard who can post up his defenders and score easy buckets around the rim. He averages 14.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Nash has averaged 13 points against the Jayhawks this season.

Kamari Murphy, center
The team's leading rebounder, Murphy is the only true post player in the starting lineup. He doesn't look to score often and has reached double-digits in scoring only three times during Big 12 play.

OKLAHOMA STATE TIPOFF
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
Oklahoma State may be the most talented No. 8 seed in the history of conference tournaments. The Cowboys stumbled midway through the conference season and lost seven games in a row, although three of those games came without star guard Marcus Smart due to suspension. The Cowboys won three of their last four games of the season.
Marcus Smart
---
No lead is ever safe with Smart on the other team, something the Jayhawks discovered in Stillwater, Okla. He will be counted to on score and occasionally guard Andrew Wiggins, who erupted in his last game with 41 points at West Virginia.
QUESTION MARKS
Will the Cowboys start strong?
The past two games, Oklahoma State has fallen behind by double-digits. It was able to come back at home, but the deficit was too much to overcome at Allen Fieldhouse. In a virtual home game for the Jayhawks at the Sprint Center, the Cowboys will need to keep the game close to keep the crowd out of it.
BY THE NUMBERS
1
Oklahoma State has one non-conference loss this season against Memphis, Dec. 1.
10
During conference play, Oklahoma State has 10 losses.
4
The Cowboys have four players who average at least 13 ppg.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Prediction: Kansas 89, Oklahoma State 83
Three of the starters struggle. This is exactly what happened
This is fairly well-applicable against West Virginia on Saturday as Tarik Black, Naadir Tharpe and Wayne Seiden Jr. combined for 10 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Without Joel Embel on the court, other players will need to emerge and make up for his lost production.

Kansas enters conference play with confidence
SHANE JACKSON

sports@kansan.com
Coming off their disappointing 8-7 loss in their home opener to Oral Roberts, the Jayhawks remain confident as they start conference play. They come into Big 12 play with the third best nonconference record at 12-4, after being picked to finish last in the conference in the preseason coaches' poll. The teams with the top two nonconference records are Texas Tech (15-3) and Texas (14-4).
"I think the players are the
ones that took it personally," said coach Ritch Price. "When you coach in the league for as long as I have there are perceptions about certain schools. Our perception is we are a basketball school. We just grind and compete every day, and if we continue to play the level we are at right now we will finish in the top four in the league."
The Jayhawks start off conference play in Austin, Texas, against the Longhorns (14-4) who are a proven conference powerhouse, winning seven regular season
conference championships dating back to 1997.
"From the beginning when we got that ninth seed, you take it personally," said starting catcher Ka'iana Eldredge. "I think every guy in the clubhouse is trying to prove them wrong. You come to Kansas to be underdogs, to play against the big time powerhouses like Texas."
Offensively the Longhorns are led by senior outfielder Mark Payton. He is the lone starter with a batting average of .413, and a team best 11 RBIs.
"Once a guy gets on first, they like to bunt him over," said starting pitcher Robert Kahana. "Their whole mentality is pitching. They are going to try to get as much runs as they can and rely on their pitching."
On the mound, the Longhorns have a team ERA of 2.05. Parker French will pitch in game one. The junior righty has a 1.07 ERA and a 2-1 record in four starts. Game two will be junior left-hander Dillon Peters. Peters has a 1-1 record and an ERA of 2.00. Sunday's starter will be Lukas
Schiraldi, who has a 2-1 record with a 4.00 ERA.
"Their caliber of pitching will be right at the level of what Stanford had," said Price. "It's the hardest place in America to score. Not only do they have great arms, but they have one of the biggest ballparks in college baseball."
For the Jayhawks, Wes Benjamin will take the mound on Friday night. The junior lefty is undefeated with a 2-0 record and a 4.79 ERA. Kahana pitches Saturday afternoon. The right-handed junior has 1-2 record with a 4.84 ERA.
Frank Duncan is pitching in game three. He has a record of 2-1, an ERA of 2.01, with a team best 31 strikeouts.
"If you are going to win a series in the conference like ours, you have to get three great starts," said Price. "Even if you get two, most likely you are going to find a way to lose only one game."
Game one will be Friday with the first pitch thrown at 6 p.m. Games two and three are on Saturday and Sunday, and both have a 1 p.m. start time.

The last team Kansas takes on is former conference foe, Nebraska (15-8). The Cornhuskers are ranked 14th nationally for the week. Nebraska is coming off of a close loss to Fresno State. Kansas leads the all-time series with Nebraska 54-52, but Nebraska has won the last four straight contests between the two schools. The last game came in April of 2011 where Nebraska won 7-1.
Kansas (17-7) heads into its second straight home series this Friday on a six-game winning streak. The Jayhawks will face Northern Illinois (NIU) twice, Jackson State and Nebraska.
Jackson State (5-16) is coming off of nine straight losses. Its first loss of the streak came against Kansas in the Jackson State tournament back on Feb. 22. In that game, the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 9-0 with help from Kansas junior pitcher Alicia Pille throwing her first career no hitter and freshman catcher Harli Ridling hammering
third game of the Jayhawk Invitational with first pitches scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on March 14 and 15.

Jayhawk athletes prepare for indoor championships
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
For most athletes on the Kansas men's and women's track teams, the indoor season is over and it's time to gear up for the outdoor opener in Austin, Texas, on March 23. But, for four Jayhawk athletes, there is some unfinished business they must attend to this weekend.
These four athletes, seniors Diamond Dixon and Natalia Bartnovskaya and sophomore Sydney Conley on the women's side, and senior Alex Bishop, on the men's side, are the four Jayhawks that qualified and will be competing in the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., this Friday and Saturday. As the Kansas women's team has recorded runner-up finishes in both of the last two Indoor Championships, they will look to make it over the hump to claim the Kansas women's first NCAA Indoor title.
women's squad will be sending out this weekend, they have a good shot at succeeding this weekend.
Coach Stanley Redwine believes with the experienced and talented athletes the

Lindsay Vollmer, a junior from Hamilton, Mo., was the 2013 Big 12 indoor pentathlon champion.
"I think she's had one of the best seasons ever, maybe going to be the best season ever, so I don't think her career or her season is defined by this one meet."
STANLEY REDWINE Coach
a meet like this is really good." One of these experienced athletes is Bartnovskaya, who just last season won the indoor pole vault crown at this very same meet. Coming off a runner-up finish at the Big 12 Championships two weeks ago, Bartnovskaya is gearing up to defend her title this weekend.
It is worth mentioning that Bartnovskaya will run out of eligibility before the outdoor
season begins, making this weekend's meet her final meet as a Jayhawk. In light of this, Redwine reiterates that even though Bartnovskaya wants to do well in Albuquerque, no matter what happens this weekend, she has had an illustrious career as a Jayhawk.
"She cannot control the fact that she will not be able to compete in outdoor... She just is focusing on being successful at this competition," Redwine said. "But...(as a) multiple time All-American and National Champion...she'll always be remembered as one of the KU greats."
Like Bartnovskaya, Dixon is also an athlete who is looking to win a second indoor title in an event. She looks to once again take the 400-meter crown, which she won as a sophomore in 2012. Whether or not she wins outright, Dixon, who was just named Midwest Track Athlete of the Year on Monday, could still make history this weekend as she looks to grab a fourth-consecutive First-Team All-American in the 400 meters. If she receives this honor, it would make her the
first Kansas female athlete to receive four consecutive First-Team All-American spots in a single indoor event.
Redwine said that although Dixon has had great success in her previous three seasons as a Jayhawk, her performance throughout this indoor season is shaping up to go down as one of the best all time, even if she doesn't have the weekend she hopes to have.
"I think she's had one of the best seasons ever, maybe going to be the best season ever, so I don't think her career or her
season is defined by this one meet," Redwine said.
Conley is looking to make waves in her first NCAA Indoor Championship meet. Her success all season, including a runner-up finish in the long jump at the Big 12 meet, gives hope that Conley can grab a spot that will put the women's squad in a good position to place well as a team.
Considering Bishop is the only male Jayhawk athlete competing this weekend, he hopes that his individual performance in the pole vault
will do well to represent Kansas track & field. Although he was unable to repeat his 2013 pole vault conference title at the Big 12 meet, Bishop will look to become the first Kansas male athlete to receive All-American honors in the indoor pole vault since Jordan Scott's third-place finish at the 2009 NCAA meet.
The meet will kick off at 11 a.m. (CT) in the ABQ Convention Center on Friday, March 14, and will wrap up around 9:20 p.m. on Saturday, March 15.

Jayhawks take 12th at Louisiana Classics
The Kansas Men's Golf team finished in 12th place after Monday and Tuesday's rounds in Lafayette, La., at the Louisiana Classics Invitational. The Jayhawks played three rounds on the par 72 course, finishing with a combined total of (+3) on the par 864. Illinois took first place with a score of 839 and 60 strokes ahead of the Jayhawks.
Freshman Chase Hanna led the Jayhawks with a (+4), finishing in 25th place. Sophomore Ben
Welle finished with a (+6), and sophomore Connor Peck, junior Logan Philley and sophomore David Auer all finished in the top 75.
David Auer spent most of Monday working out the kinks and shaking off some rust, since it was his first collegiate tournament in two years. Tuesday, however, was much kinder to him. Auer's final round was highlighted by three straight birdies, bringing his total birdie count for the tournament to seven.
The team will travel to Phoenix, Ariz., for the Desert Shootout from March 20 to 22.

DATA & DEMOCRACY WHAT IS FREE SPEECH IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA? A PANEL DISCUSSION
Amid a changing social landscape of connectivity and communication, the legal and societal landscape of what is meant by 'free speech' may be shifting as well. The First Amendment guarantees free speech, but what are the substance and forms of that protection in the age of social media? As the use of social media in daily life grows exponentially, we consider what free speech and privacy mean in an era of immediate and unfettered access to wide dissemination, and whether there are new rules that characterize social engagement and free expression today.

OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin Durant scored 42 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Houston Rockets 106-98 on Tuesday night.

Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook scored 24 points and got the best of nemesis Patrick Beverley. During last year's playoffs, Beverley dived for the ball and ran into Westbrook's right knee as a timeout was being called, causing the injury that ended Westbrook's season and cost him about half of this season. It was their first meeting since the incident.
Serge Ibaka had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Thunder, who had lost two straight.
Former Thunder guard James Harden scored 28 points, Chandler Parsons scored 19 and Dwight Howard had nine points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets. Houston had won five straight, including victories over Miami, Indiana and

Midway through the second quarter, Harden and backup Oklahoma City point guard Reggie Jackson had to be separated.
The chippiness started early in Tuesday's game. Beverley swiped the ball away from Westbrook after a timeout with 6:10 left in the first quarter. Beverley and Westbrook had to be separated, and Beverley issued a technical foul. Beverley and Westbrook got tangled up again about a minute later.
Westbrook spent the rest of the second quarter dominating Beverley. Westbrook blew past him for a layup, then lost him on a screen and made a 3-pointer to put the Thunder up 49-32. Westbrook drew Beverley's third foul on a 3-point attempt with 2:50 in the first half.
Westbrook scored 11 points in the final 6:19 of the quarter to help the Thunder take a 56-41 lead at the break. Oklahoma City held Houston to 35 percent shooting in the first half.

Howard committed his third and fourth fouls in the first two minutes of the third quarter, and Beverley committed his fourth with 8:52 left in the third as the Thunder maintained control.
Houston rallied, and a 3-pointer by Francisco Garcia and a dunk by Omer Asik cut Oklahoma City's lead to 77- 72 early in the fourth. Durant answered with five straight points to put the Thunder back in control.
Oklahoma City led by 18 at one point in the third quarter, but the Rockets chipped away late in the period and trailed 77-67 heading into the fourth.
The game remained chippy. Garcia got hit in the face by Durant, drawing a technical. Harden hit a 3-pointer with Derek Fisher in his face to trim Oklahoma City's lead to 97-92 with 2:23 to go.
Westbrook drew Beverley's fifth foul on a 3-point attempt, drawing a cheer from the crowd. Westbrook drained all three free throws to put the Thunder up 102-94 with 1:31 to play.

NCAA says no to Baylor's 'Sic 'Em Bears' uniforms
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Baylor is causing another stir with its uniforms at the Big 12 tournament.
Adidas that have "Sic 'Em Bears" on the front. The NCAA said only the school name or traditional nicknames like "Bears" are allowed on the front of game uniforms.
The NCAA told the school Wednesday that it wouldn't be allowed to wear new uniform designs from
traditional names and nicknames. Baylor made a splash at the Big 12 tournament a couple years ago with its neon yellow uniforms. A school spokesman said the seventh-seeded Bears had chosen white for their first-round game against No. 10 seed TCU on Wednesday night.
Adidas unveiled their "March Madness" uniforms last week. Other schools wearing them, including top-seeded Kansas, stuck with

Perez, Moustakas shine in Royals win over A's
+
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX, Ariz. — Yordano Ventura struck out six in 4 1-3 innings and Salvador Perez hit a two-run home run, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 3-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
"I like his composure. I like the way that game doesn't speed up on him for a young player." Royals manager Ned Yost said of the 22-year-old Ventura. "He always seems to be in control of his emotions on the mound."
Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas continued his torrid spring, going 3 for 3 with a solo homer, double and single to raise his batting average to .500 in 11 games. Moustakas has four home runs and 13 RBIs.
Moustakas got two of his hits with two strikes.
"His whole focus this spring has primarily been with two strikes," Yost said. "In the cage and the drills that they do, it's on two-strike approach."
Ventura allowed a run on two hits, leaving after giving up a single to Oakland's Derek Norris.
"I felt good. I threw good pitches and I threw a lot of strikes." Ventura said in Spanish. "I've been working hard on when not throwing hard, having control of the ball"
The Royals scored three runs in the sixth inning off As reliever Sean Doolittle. Billy Butler doubled with one out and scored on Perez's two-out long ball.
Perez is 10 for 21 in spring training and returned after missing most of Monday's and all of Tuesday's game with a bruised left palm.
Scott Kazmir silenced the Royals for four innings in his second start of the spring. He has not allowed a run and only three hits over seven innings. He has five strikeouts.
"I like his (Ventura) composition ... He always seems to be in control of his emotions on the mound."
NED YOST
Royals manager
between two left-handers, Jason Vargas and Bruce Chen.
Ventura, a right-hander from the Dominican Republic who is one of the Royals' top prospects, has the statistical edge over teammate Danny Duffy so far in spring training. Ventura or Duffy look to be the third man in the regular-season starting rotation
Perez said Ventura was working both sides of the plate and had a good changeup, but that he has to talk to him at times to make sure he doesn't always throw hard.
Athletics: Kazmir said he wasn't 100 percent, but not in terms of his physical well-being. He meant that he wasn't totally effective with his pitches in terms of location. Still he was pleased with his results.
"Wasn't particularly sharp today, but a lot of my pitches got me out of some jams. Secondary pitches. Just one of those where you don't feel 100 percent but you go out there and make pitches," Kazmir said. "It's a good test for me to be able to do that early in spring training."

Don "Red Dog" Gardner has spent his life working with others creating a community to call his own, and at 75. he's not done yet.
Red Dog currently works for the University of Kansas as a senior ambassador, or "class checker" as he calls it. He and 15 other retired citizens stand outside of classrooms to make sure that athletes attend class.
Aside from being a class checker, he and his wife are in charge of Red Dog's Dog Days, a free year-round fitness program open to the Lawrence community.
Red Dog's Dog Days started in June 1984 as a way to prepare high school football players for their fall season. Eventually, it grew to include the rest of the schools' athletes, and even their siblings and parents. Today, nearly 30 years later, Red Dog's Dog Days is a chance for those in Lawrence to participate in a community workout.
Gardner says he enjoys seeing the progress people make through the program.
"So far it's still fun," Gardner said. "It's just like athletes and playing pro ball or singing or whatever. When it's no fun anymore you better get out."
Gardner's nickname, "Red Dog," was given to him by his seventh grade coach and gym teacher, coach Duver. Gardner said coach Duver gave nicknames to everyone and called all of the redheads "red dog."
said it was important to his mom that he live and go to school in Lawrence so they could still see each other. When he saw his mom they would usually see a movie and get ice cream.
"I still love ice cream," he said.
"My line has always been [that] I wasn't abused or mistreated ever, but there wasn't any love either," Gardner said. "I feel that way because it's not like today. I wasn't knocked around or anything."
He said that not living with his mother was just a part of life.
Gardner describes his mom as a "strong-willed, auburn lady." He said she always had the house in order and he knew better than to talk back to her. He was thankful to be living with her again and never wanted to make her mad.
Once his mother remarried, he was able to move in with her and her new husband. "It was great because I don't remember living with her when I was two," he said. "It was great to just to be with her."
From being a class checker to running Dog Days, Gardner creates a community everywhere he goes.
When Gardner was asked to be a class checker 11 years ago, it meant that he would get to be involved in sports again, at least in some way He was a sports trainer at Lawrence High School for many years and even did volunteer traveling with the University football team on and off for about 15 years.
Libby Brown, a sophomore from Wichita, has known Gardner for two years. She met him after waiting on him at Alvamar Country Club where she worked.
"Retired people need a parttime job or their spouses will throw them out of the house,"Gardner said.
"He's genuinely interested in the lives of others and actually cares about you," Brown said. "He asks questions, gets upset if you don't say hi and enjoys making new friends. He's a really outgoing guy."

Q&A
Kansas debate team qualifies for nationals
TERRI HARVEY news@kansan.com
Addison Schiele, a sophomore from Topeka, is a member of the Kansas debate team, the second team in the country so far that's qualified to head to the national debate competition. This year's competition will take place at the University of Indiana. The Kansan sat down with Schiele and asked him some questions about his experience with debate.
The University Daily Kansan: Take me through the process of preparing for a debate.
Addison Schiele: Generally, either a week or two in advance, you scope out the competition and figure out what the other teams are reading and prepare arguments
against those teams, both on the affirmative and negative. Online there is a case list that everybody puts all the research that they do on it, so they have all their affirmative and negative arguments. I do a lot of the affirmative research for my partner and I; I do research and update the affirmative, see if there are any new articles or new advantages. The week of [the competition], a few days before, you have to do your prep-sheet, you sort the judges based on how you prefer them to judge you. The judges that you want the most go at the top of the list and the judges you want the least go at the bottom and that determines who will judge you in the competition.
UDK: What do you receive if you win the debate?
AS: There's a traveling trophy that goes around to the schools that you get your name put on. I think there are individual trophies; you get a watch that is pretty cool too.
UDK: What helped you make it to the national championship?
AS: I think one of the things that have really helped has been having a solid coaching staff. Dr. Harris, who is the director of the debate program, is an argumentative genius in my opinion and hes able to think about arguments in a unique manner that makes a lot of debate strategic sense. Dr. Bret Bricker is extremely helpful for teaching debate style and techniques.
UDK: When did you start debating and why?
AS: I started debating freshman year in high school to get a speech credit to graduate and I stuck with it and I liked it. It was unexpected to say the least.
UDK: What has prompted you to continue debate?
AS: There's something about being in a debate round that is incomparable to any other life experiences that I've had. It's just a rush of adrenalin and its equivalent to why someone wants to play a sport for the rest of their life. It's a different style of competitiveness that is interesting to me, at least.
UDK: What will you do after
college debate ends to get that rush?
AS: Unfortunately there is no professional debate so it does have to come to an end. My last debate round will probably be very emotional for me and will end in some tears. The way that I will try to fulfill that kind of rush is to keep up with debate, follow the KU debate program. Right now I coach debate at my old high school, and coaching is its own kind of rush, it is just more before the round than anything. [I will probably be] getting an assistant coaching position or something like that while I'm in grad school.
UDK: What do you plan to do after college?
chemical engineering; it's sort of unrelated to debate.
UDK: How do you think your debate skills will help you in this career?
AS: Debate teaches you how to process information and make decisions incredibly quickly. It also exposes you to different kinds of literature bases that you have to research. It helps with school in two ways: one, it forces you to get better at reading and reading comprehension, and then to be able to synthesize the research that you do and analytically think about it and process that information very quickly.
AS: Something to do with

University's Peace Corps participation decreases
BRENDAN O'FARRELL news@kansan.com
It was night in The Gambia, a small country in West Africa, and Kansas graduate Lacy Szuwalski was walking home when she noticed a strange man walking in front of her. He kept looking back to make sure she was following him, and when she stopped walking he did, too. She had seen him in town before and he seemed to pop up unexpectedly during her time as a Peace Corps volunteer. Worried, she called ahead to let the guards know about the man.
The man went away, but it's the potential for experiences
like this, or worse, that can scare off prospective volunteers.
"Safety is one the biggest concerns people have when looking at the Peace Corps," Szuwalski said.

The program, which sends Americans abroad to help
communities in fields ranging from agriculture to education, has seen a steady decline nationally over the last few years. Participation dropped from 9,095 volunteers in 2011 to 7,209 in 2013. At the University, numbers have declined from 47 volunteers in 2010 to 23 in 2013.
Some reasons for this decline include safety concerns, improving job markets, a lack of awareness and increased opportunities to volunteer abroad according to Peace Corps experts.

Fred Phelps' death should lead to positive change
As of writing this, I just got a push notification that said that Fred Phelps, the founder of Westboro Baptist Church, passed away. I was a little surprised to find that I had mixed emotions about it. On one hand, most of the things that Westboro Baptist Church stands for are absolutely reprehensible, but on the other hand, I feel a little bit uneasy about Phelps' death. I don't want to see people cheering in the streets because an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I always thought that when he died I would
have a joyful feeling. I admit that part of me rejoices at his downfall, but it is more about my hope for the future destruction of his ideals as opposed to the death of the man himself.
Phelps was wretched. He was a callous, out of touch, old man who deserves all of the bad things that came upon him, but for some reason all I can do is feel sorry for him. He was misguided and I wonder what it was that brought him there. I just see no way that someone could be so hateful for no reason.
By Nick Jackson
opinion@kansan.com
On the bright side, I
suspect that he may have had a change of heart toward the end because according to his estranged son's Facebook post, Phelps was excommunicated in the final days of his life. All kinds of conclusions might be drawn from this, but, whatever the reason may be, I like to think that he realized the error of
his ways at the end.
Through his death we can grow as people. Hopefully people see that if we sit and cheer the death of Phelps, then we aren't any different from him. Should we go picket his funeral with signs that say, "God hates Fred"? I think not. This is an opportunity to show that hate doesn't have to course through the veins of those who have wronged others and those you've been wronged alike. We can forgive and love. That love is what brings about true change. Hating a man and letting that hate seethe and
boil inside us can bring to the surface ugly behavior. Let the man die alone, forgotten and lost. He has no power anymore. It is not the man we fight, but that which he stood for. Together we can take all of the disgusting ideas and dig them a grave, too. That will be the real victory. Let's do it the right way.

From Nanjing on longing: Missing the way it rains
I miss the thunderstorms. Spending a year in China I knew I would have a strong sense of missing out during football and basketball season, and family and friends were a given. These were things I could prepare for, but six months away from my home during a light Nanjing drizzle of rain, it dawned on me that I had not seen a single proper flash of lighting or heard a proper boom of thunder since I had left. This was a feeling I had not prepared for. It caught me off guard.
When I first came to China, I was in a state of complete sensory overload. The buildings are seemingly endless in every direction, people are everywhere and traffic is a frantic free-for-all. I didn't know how to accomplish basic tasks. I was reliant on the help of new friends. We went in large groups of recently arrived and culturally shocked international students to apply for our residency permits together. The process was disorganized and in the wrong language.
By Scott Rainen
opinion@kansan.com
We all relied on each others' tips to navigate our way through the bureaucracy. The first month was a mess, but it was fun in a weird sort of way as everything was new and challenging.
After half a year, I, like most of the people I went to get residency permits with, have figured out most aspects of how to get along in Nanjing. I've developed a rich mental map of nearby places to eat, and my barber and I have some semblance of a relationship. I know for a fact that while the rickshaws seem like a fun idea in concept they typically will end with me getting ripped off. I am able to get in a rhythm of life here, but occasionally some little hiccup in it reminds me how far away I am from home. The soft patter of a recent typical rainstorm in Nanjing did just that.
I miss the thunderstorms in Kansas. I miss lazily sipping on coffee while listening to sheets of rain
crash upon the roof. I miss standing outside, below an awning, and hearing the full roar of the downpour
— the way my father checks the sump-pump every 30 minutes fearing the basement will flood.
It sounds cliché to say it's the little things you will miss, and while I won't speak for everyone, for me this is definitely true. The unexpected minor aspects of life in my home are what made it mine, and these are the things I miss the most.
I went to China to learn about Chinese culture, but I have also learned a little bit about my own. There are many things we take for granted in life, and most are not obvious. Being away has caused me to appreciate them more. I knew I would miss the way of life in my home, but who would have guessed I would miss the way it rained?

Both parties guilty when cheating
I've seen it all too often. "The other girl." Eric Anderson, an American sociologist at the University of Winchester, did a study on undergraduate college men that revealed 78 percent of them had cheated at least once on their partner. This number is huge. This is a sad, embarrassing statistic for the male population, but I also can't help but think — who are these girls?
I mean who is really satisfied with being second place? I've heard women say, "I'm not the one in a commitment, he is," as if this justifies sleeping with a man who they know is taken.
Being "the other girl" is like driving the getaway car in a bank robbery; you might not have been the one robbing the bank, but you still played a major role in something that isn't right. And according to federal law, the accomplice is just as guilty as the person who committed the crime.
By Kayla Soper
opinion@kansan.com
Relationship law is the same. We often tell each other that it's the guy we should be mad at, which is true. He's the one making the mistake. However, it takes two to tango. Instead of feeling flattered, you should tell the girlfriend her boyfriend's a snake and let her deal with him.
Take a second to think about our own standards. A guy who's willingly cheating on his girlfriend doesn't deserve your attention. If he's unfaithful in his current commitment, you better believe he'd do the same to you.
If he isn't promising a relationship after hooking up with you on the side, and you're just doing it for fun, you're doing a terrible thing. Pretend for a minute that his girlfriend is your sister or best friend. Is it as fun now?
I write this column extremely fed up with the girls who are continuously okay with being "the other woman." Find some self-respect and maybe you'll find a man who wants you for more than what you have to offer in bed while his girlfriend is at work.

'Divergent' follows same YA adaptation formula
By Alex Lamb
entertain@kansan.com
BASED ON THE WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT MAKES YOU DANGEROUS
DIVERGENT
3.21.14
IMAX
Divergent" is essentially just a lesser "Hunger Games." It's a franchise blockbuster led by a strong female character, which Hollywood needs more of, but it builds a future world that hits many similar story beats. And alas, it can't overcome the biggest challenge of young adult adaptations: a highly formulaic narrative.
In a dystopian future, society is divided into five factions based on personality types: the intelligent, the selfless, the peaceful, the honest and the brave. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) has grown up in Abnegation (the selfless), but discovers she's divergent, a rare personality type who doesn't fit into just one category, so the faction leaders fear and hunt them.
As citizens reach adulthood, they have the choice to stay in the faction they grew up in or join a different one. Tris decides to leave her family to become Dauntless (the brave). At this point, "Divergent" transitions from a thought-provoking set-up then slips into a familiar mold as Tris undergoes the Dauntless training program, gains several friends and develops romantic tension with her instructor Four (Theo James). Of course, there's also a political play at hand as the Erudite (the intelligent) prepare to forcefully take control of the government from Abnegation.
You've probably seen all of this before, and while watching "Divergent" you might start to feel burnt out from so many young adult dystopian future adaptations. The fatigue has definitely hit me. The Dauntless training takes the majority of the runtime and often just feels like a big-kid, less spacey version of "Ender's Game."
However, there are just enough engrossing and entertaining elements for this to stand on its own, although not at full height. Woodley has been one of my favorite rising young stars since her impressive turn in "The Descendants" and she exhibits an involving vulnerability while also growing stronger and more confident. Her doe-eyed beauty garners wonderful empathy. And James surprises in bringing depth to Four, with a touch of kindness beneath his hardened exterior.
Director Neil Burger ("Limitless") brings a vibrant visual style to more effectively characterize the scenes. From clean production designs that

resemble a forward-thinking society to moody colored lighting, most of it hews toward brighter tones, which gives more personality to different sectors.
But there's nothing special about the action sequences. A few fights, a nighttime capture the flag game, a skirmish for survival — they get the job done — but the visualizations of fears as part of training offer the cooler moments, lacking rules of reality and delving into the mind.
There are some intriguing concepts filling the sci-fi story of "Divergent," but unless you're chomping at the bit waiting for the next "Hunger Games" take a break from this overcrowded genre.

LOS ANGELES — The large cat that attacked a baby and trapped an Oregon family in a bedroom touched off an Internet uproar that worries Jackson Galaxy, star of Animal Planet's "My Cat from Hell." Cats don't become ferocious felines that turn on their families for no reason, says the cat behavior expert, who is heading to Portland soon to work with the 4-year-old part-Himalayan pet named Lux. Galaxy will film the visit for his show's fifth season, which kicks off April 26.

Lux, a 22-pound Himalayan.cat that attacked a seven-month old baby, rests at home. Cats don't become ferocious felines that turn on their families for no reason, says the cat behavior expert Jackson Galaxy, star of Animal Planet's "My Cat from Hell," who is heading to Portland soon to work with the cat. Galaxy will film the visit for his show's fifth season, which kicks off April 26.
"Every parental site on the Internet blames the cat for this confrontation. Every pet site blames the family," he said, adding that something is wrong if the cat is acting out. "We need to step away from the hysteria. There is a story behind all this. Don't assume anything."
Lux became a worldwide phenomenon after owner Lee Palmer called 911 and said the cat had cornered him, his girlfriend, their baby and the family dog inside a room.
family dog snare.
Palmer says his 7-month-old pulled Lux's tail, and he kicked the animal after it scratched the child. Then, the cat "just went off over the edge." Palmer told an emergency dispatcher after the family barricaded themselves. "He's charging us," Palmer said, as the cat was heard screeching in the background. Officers arrived and caught Lux with a dog snare.
Palmer said the cat had a history of violence, but the family kept Lux until Monday,
when they turned him over to a Portland-area shelter. But the family assured Animal Planet they were going to keep the cat and agreed to therapy with Galaxy.
Palmer didn't return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment Tuesday.
There are many reasons a cat can turn aggressive, and there is no universal way to deal with it, Galaxy said. But the star feline behaviorist provided five ways to tame out-of-control cats:
Never leave a young child unsupervised with a cat.
- Take it to a vet at least once a year. If a cat is acting suspiciously, the owner needs to pay attention. "Know what suspicious looks like," Galaxy said. "If they're not feeling well, cats will socially withdraw themselves, or they will lose weight, or they will gain weight, or they'll be howling in the middle of the night when they never did before.
"I've known cats who acted out similarly to Lux because of an abscessed tooth, a brain tumor, hyperthyroidism or diabetes."
Make sure cats can literally climb out of a situation. Having a space up high, like a cat condo, to get away from children and other pets is crucial. Galaxy said. "Make sure the cat can make the choice to get away from the kid," he said.
a peaceful moment or ground themselves, he said.
— Timeouts are good things. "We associate timeouts with punishment, but in the world of cats, timeout is not a punishment." They can go to a designated place where they can settle down, come back to
— Stop fights between felines with "timeout drills." With simple pieces of cardboard, left strategically around the house, you can stop a fight between two cats. Put the cardboard between them, blocking their vision and providing a moment of disorientation when you can lead them to their timeout
spot. It's especially important to have the drills with aggressive cats.
Galaxy said he was going to Portland to act as Lux's advocate and find out what's wrong. "I have no idea what made Lux aggressive," he said. It could be a chemical imbalance, a history of stressful environments or because he was kicked.
"If you want a blanket statement on how to deal with aggression, how about, 'Don't set the cat up for failure,'" he said. The behaviorist, who has worked with tens of thousands of cats, said the thing that bothered him most about Lux was his continued aggression the day Palmer called 911, including the animal's ongoing assault on the door even
though the threat was gone
But the word "attack" doesn't sit well with Galaxy because 75 percent of the time, it's tied to a grouchy mood or a warning, he said.
"If I have a headache, I won't be the nicest guy in the world. I may snap at you," he said. "This may have been Lux's way of snapping."

No pope meeting for Russell Crowe
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY - Actor Russell Crowe and the makers of the big-budget film "Noah" attended Pope Francis' general audience. Wednesday but didn't get what they most wanted: a papal meeting and photo-op.
Crowe had lobbied hard for a papal thumbs up for his film and the ensuing publicity a Francis blessing would bring. The film has been banned in much of the Muslim world because of its depiction of the prophet, while U.S. conservatives have complained it took
liberties with the Biblical account of the flood.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the request from Noah's producers for a private audience was immediately turned down.
In an email Wednesday to The Associated Press, Lombardi said there was similarly no scheduled "meet and greet" after Wednesday's general audience, when VIPs can often get a quick word with the pope.
They could have been at the audience like anyone else," Lombardi said. Wednesday's audience drew an estimated crowd of 80,000.
Francis is loath to lend such blessings for publicity. Given his sensitivities to the Muslim world — and his upcoming trip to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories — it would seem natural that he would decline any public endorsement of a film that might offend Muslim viewers.
Variety reported that the Noah delegation, including Crowe, director Darren Aronofsky, producer Scott Franklin, and the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, Rob Moore, had met with the pope. Variety cited a spokeswoman for Universal, which
is distributing the film in Italy. But in an email to AP, Paramount merely said the delegation "went to hear" Francis' address at the audience.
Crowe was spotted in the VIP section of St. Peter's Square, but was too far back to reach the pope.
After the audience, Crowte tweeted: "Thank you holy father @Pontifex for the blessing," and "What a privilege, attended the Udienza with the holy father @Pontifex."

Faith and health care law to collide at Supreme Court
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — People can pray. Corporations cannot. But now the Supreme Court must decide whether impersonal, for-profit companies do enjoy religious rights that exempt them from providing contraceptives under the Obama administration's health care law.
"That's a big question," said Laurie Sobel, a senior policy analyst with the Kaiser Family Foundation, a private, nonprofit health research group, "and it's a big door to open."
On Tuesday morning, the court's nine justices will confront the corporate religious objections to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The oral argument marks the court's first reconsideration of the law since a landmark 2012 decision.
this time, in an unusually long 90-minute argument, the closely divided court will hear challenges from a chain of craft stores and a Pennsylvania-based cabinet manufacturing company. Both corporations are owned by devout individuals. Both are profitable.
And both seek exemption from the health law's requirement to provide contraception as part of a broader insurance package.
(They) believe that human beings deserve protection from the moment of conception, and that providing insurance coverage for items that risk killing an embryo makes them complicit in abortion," attorneyse for the Hobby Lobby chain wrote in a legal brief.
Hobby Lobby is a multibillion-dollar, Oklahoma-based company that employs about 13,000 workers nationwide. Conestoga Wood Specialities is a smaller firm owned by a Mennonite family in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. Both have invoked the First Amendment's provision that guarantees the right to freely exercise religious beliefs.
The companies also claim protection under the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The 1993 law offers religious practitioners protection against government intrusion. The big question Tuesday is whether this protection extends to corporations as well as living, breathing individuals.
"Corporations, of course,
cannot suffer. They are not
sentient. They have no soul."
CAROLINE MALA CORBIN University of Miami professor
It's a question that evokes strong and conflicting opinions.
+
Attorneys general for 18 states including Georgia, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Texas and Florida have sided with the religiously affiliated companies. California and Washington have joined with 13 other states in supporting the mandate.
"Corporations, of course, cannot suffer. They are not sentient. They have no soul," said Caroline Mala Corbin, a
professor at the University of Miami School of Law. "Religious protection only makes sense when it applies to actual people."
Others disagree.
"Followers of kosher rules run catering companies," attorneys for Conestoga Wood Specialties wrote. "Families that observe the Sabbath operate fast food restaurants and craft stores. And those who value sacred texts publish and distribute books. Whatever the legal status of their organizations, owners and operators do not check their beliefs at the door each Monday morning."
"Political speech does not lose First Amendment protection simply because its source is a corporation," Justice Anthony Kennedy, often a swing vote, wrote in the court's 2010 Citizens United case.
Ironically, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that conservatives might use to strike down the contraception mandate was a congressional reaction to a 1990 opinion by strictly conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia's 1990 opinion reasoned that religious objectors are not exempt from a "neutral law of general applicability."
Adding even more judicial spice, the conservative-dominated court that will decide this question is the same court that likened corporations to people in erasing limits on corporate campaign spending.
The potential consequences, moreover, reach beyond the 80-plus federal lawsuits that have been filed by colleges, charities and others.
DATA & DEMOCRACY WHAT IS FREE SPEECH IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA? A PANEL DISCUSSION
Amid a changing social landscape of connectivity and communication, the legal and societal landscape of what is meant by 'free speech' may be shifting as well. The First Amendment guarantees free speech, but what are the substance and forms of that protection in the age of social media? As the use of social media in daily life grows exponentially, we consider what free speech and privacy mean in an era of immediate and unfettered access to wide dissemination, and whether there are new rules that characterize social engagement and free expression today.

Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's P-3C Orion aircraft sits on the tarmac on Sunday after arriving at Royal Australian Air Force Pearce Base to help with search operations for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PERTH, Australia — Rain was expected to hamper the hunt Monday for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, as a growing number of planes focus on an expanded area of the south Indian Ocean where French radar detected potential debris.
Australian Maritime Safety Authority's rescue coordination center said the search area was expanded from 59,000 to 68,500 square kilometers (22,800-26,400 square miles) on Monday, including a new separate area covered by data provided by France on Sunday.
Two Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 planes joined the search from Perth on Monday, increasing
the number of aircraft from eight on Sunday to 10, AMSA said.
It said the weather in the search area, about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, was expected to deteriorate with rain likely.
Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss said "nothing of note" was found Sunday, which he described as a "fruitless day."
He said that the new search area based was 850 kilometers (530 miles) north of the previous search zone. He said it was not the same area that had been identified as the most likely place where the aircraft may have entered the sea, "but ... we've got to check out all the options."
Hight 370 vanished March 8 with 239 people aboard while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, setting off a multinational search that has turned up no confirmed pieces and nothing conclusive on what happened to the jet.
We're just, I guess, clutching at whatever little piece of information comes along to try and find a place where we might be able to concentrate the efforts," he added.
A cyclone bearing down on the Australian northwest coast "could stir up less favorable weather." he said.
wooden pallet that appeared to be surrounded by straps of different lengths and colors.
The latest French satellite data came to light on Sunday as Australian authorities coordinating the search sent planes and a ship to try to "re-find" a
"So, we've gone back to that area again today to try and refind it," said Mike Barton, chief of the Australian rescue coordination center. "It's a possible lead," he added.
The pallet was spotted on Saturday from a search plane, but the spotters were unable to take photos of it, and a PC Orion military plane dispatched to locate it could not find it.
Wooden pallets are often used by ships, Barton cautioned. But he said airlines also commonly use them in cargo holds.
An official with Malaysia Airlines said Sunday night that the flight was, in fact, carrying
wooden pallets. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with company policy.
AMSA said it has requested a cargo manifest from Malaysia Airlines.
When Brazilian searchers in 2009 were looking for debris from Air France Flight 447 after it mysteriously plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, they found a wooden pallet. The military initially reported the pallet came from the Air France flight, but backtracked hours later and said the plane had not been carrying any wooden pallets.
Sunday's search was frustrating because "there was cloud down to the surface, and at times we were completely enclosed by cloud" Royal Australian Air Force flight Lt. Russell Adams told reporters.
Nothing of interest was found, he said.
In Paris, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said in an interview with The Associated Press that the satellite radar echoes "identified some debris that could be from the Malaysian Airlines plane."
The spokesman said that these echoes "are not images with a definition like a photograph, but they do allow us to identify the nature of an object and to localize it."
"The French government has decided to increase its satellite monitoring of this zone," Nadal said.

These potential risks are not limited to the Peace Corps. Women are four times more likely to be victims of unwanted sexual conduct while studying abroad, according to 2012 study by Matthew Kimble of the Department of Psychology at Middlebury College.
In order to help reduce safety risks, the Corps trains volunteers and each volunteer post has a country director responsible for volunteers' safety and creating a safety and security program. At least one medical officer at each post is available 24/7 for emergencies.
"Listen to your gut, it is a two year commitment and don't do anything you're uncomfortable with, but I never felt unsafe," said Szuwalski. "Living in my community,
and everybody is looking out for you. They know you're helping their community grow and they want to keep you there."
Volunteers can be assigned a variety of tasks ranging from educating to creating cleaner water supplies or even helping local businesses. Tasks can depend on experience, as well as which country a volunteer is assigned. When the program was started by President Kennedy in 1961, volunteers went to nine host countries: Chile, Colombia, Ghana, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, St. Lucia, Tanzania and Pakistan. Today there are volunteers in 65 different countries ranging from Peru to Mongolia.

MACKENZIE OATMAN
Attending her first full-senate meeting as a freshman, MacKenzie Oatman had a realization: Student Senate makes a difference in students' lives.
Oatman had run for freshman senator on a campaign of her face on a Quaker Oatmeal box with the slogan "Vote for Oats." She was impressed when the then-Student Body President opened the first meeting of the year with a long list of accomplishments from the summer.
Oatman, a junior from Overland Park,
describes herself as "your typical KU student."
She's a finance major, a spreadsheet
nerd and a vegetarian.
"I remember taking it all in and thinking, "This is what I want to do for my four years," Oatman said.
"I feel that I can be the student voice," she said. "I've experienced campus in a lot of different ways than just Greek life or just Senate."
The school year had hardly started but Student Senate had already changed policies to improve students' lives.
As a Hawk Link guide, Oatman tutored first-generation and minority students.
Because students pay a fee for programs, she said it was a shame that one of the girls she tutored wouldn't have known about Legal Services for Students if Oatman hadn't thought to give her a ride.
“[Helpping students who didn't] have that support system reminded me how important Student Senate is in connecting students to resources,” Oatman said.
Oatman said students who get involved in organizations have a support base that naturally connects them better to these resources.
Although she was one of those people who signed up for every club and volunteer group's email lists at student orientation, Oatman says she wants to create an infrastructure for organizations to recruit members throughout the school year.
She suggested an email list, a smartphone app or a screen in the Kansas Union with a schedule of meetings and events. She also wants interest surveys at the beginning of each semester and more tabling recruitment opportunities.

In middle school, a priest interrupted Mitchell Cota during confession and asked. "What are you?"
Cota, a junior from Overland Park, is Hispanic, gay and a first-generation college student. Then, being so noticeably different felt like a crutch. Now, he embraces these traits as a platform
MITCHELL COTA
Cota wants to represent minority groups that have been historically underrepresented. He plans to encourage students from diverse backgrounds to get more engaged in campus groups, wants to bring in more multicultural senators and is concerned about retention of minority students.
"People should celebrate everything about themselves," Cota said.
Over the years, he's changed his major from pre-pharmacy, communications, history, political science and Italian to marketing and international business, and said he therefore knows his way around campus.
He wants to bridge the gap between the Kansas Union and the Sabattini Multicultural Resource Center.
Getting different opinions, especially from minority students, leads to better discussion and decisions that reflect the needs of everyone on campus, he said.
As a freshman, he joined Senate to show he could succeed regardless of his minority status. Now,he advocates for minorities.
"I've been motivated by the idea of inclusivity," Cota said.
Cota said he can use his marketing skills - finding niche markets, asking how to best serve them and creating valuable experiences - to engage the student body.
"Everything is marketing in a sense," Cota said.
After graduation, Cota wants to apply social consciousness to marketing. He said marketing tends to rely on heteronormative stereotypes, like making a pen pink for women. He wants to either start a more conscious marketing firm or to be a corporate social justice coordinator who teaches about diversity.

Kentucky ends Wichita State's perfect run
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - It took a program stocked with NBA prospects to finally end Wichita State's perfect run.
Andrew Harrison scored 20 points, twin brother Aaron had 19 and Kentucky survived a potential winning 3-pointer at the buzzer by Fred VanVleet to knock off the undefeated Shockers with a 78-76 victory Sunday in the NCAA tournament.
Julius Randle added 13 points and 10 rebounds, and James Young also had 13 points for the No.8 seed Wildcats (26-10), who made a series of clutch free throws in the closing minutes to advance to the Sweet 16 in arguably the most captivating game of a thrilling first weekend.
Now, Big Blue Nation gets to jump right into another high-profile matchup: Louisville awaits in the Sweet 16 on Friday in Indianapolis. The Wildcats beat their bitter instate rival in December.
Cleanthony Early scored 31 points and Ron Baker had 20 for the Shockers (35-1), who didn't lost since last year's Final Four while taking an entire city — and state — on quite a ride.
Kentucky took the lead for good at 73-71 when Young knocked down a 3-pointer with less than two minutes to go. Early answered with a basket for Wichita State, and Andrew Harrison made two free throws for Kentucky. Baker banked in a 3-pointer and Randle made two more foul shots.
Early's two free throws with 9.8 seconds left got the Shockers within 77-76, and they still had a chance when Andrew
VanVleet raced up court and called timeout with 3.2 seconds left.
Harrison missed the second of two free throws and Early got the rebound.
Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall drew up a play that had Tekele Cotton inbounding the ball to VanVleet, who took a shot from the top of the key. But the shot was wide the entire way, and it clanked off the rim as the buzzer sounded and Kentucky began to celebrate.

The Midwest Regional show down came after an entertaining undercard matchup that saw Stanford knock off Kansas, and it lived up to every expectation.
The team full of blue-chip prospects had finally ended the blue-collared team's dream.
Kentucky was successful early using its superior size, not only in the paint but also on the perimeter, where the 6-foot-6 Harrison twins dwarfed the 5-11 VanVleet. But after the Wildcats took a 19-15 lead midway through the half, Wichita State ramped up its trademark defense, forcing a series of turnovers and getting right back in the game.

VanVleet was the catalyst. On one sequence late in the half, he stripped Aaron Harrison and hit Early in transition, and he was fouled slamming over 7-foot Willie Cauley-Stein. Early converted the free throw as the shockers built a 37-31 lead at the half.
Early hit a 3-pointer right out of the locker room, too, to match the Shockers' biggest lead at 40-31. But VanVleet picked up his third foul moments later, and Kentucky took advantage of the Shockers missing their floor general by gradually pulling ahead.

Wiggins leaves mark on Kansas in one season
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
Andrew Wiggins sat in the locker room with a blood stain on his jersey, leaning back with his arms behind his head, deflecting questions about his future.
In what would be Kansas' last game of the season, the freshman guard scored four points on 1-6 shooting in a 60-57 loss to the Stanford Cardinal in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. Although he refused to confirm it himself, Wiggins likely played his last game in a Kansas uniform on Sunday, ending his career in a way contrary to his high-octane play throughout the season.
"The kid's had a remarkable season," coach Bill Self said. "I don't think today should offset what he's done for 34 games, 34 other games in which he has been terrific."
And he played those 35 games with a backpack stuffed full with expectations on his shoulders.
Before the season, a Sports Illustrated cover compared him to Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning, two of the best players in Kansas basketball's storied history. Many dubbed him the next LeBron James. Others named him a lock for
But despite these otherworldly distractions, Wiggins stayed grounded, never letting the outside world affect his ego or attitude.
"He's a great kid, a humble kid," sophomore forward Perry Ellis said of Wiggins. "Even though he doesn't show emotion, he really cares and we all
He shifted into an even higher gear near the end of the season, averaging 28 points in his last four games before Sunday.
But against Stanford, Wiggins never looked at ease against a zone defense that was designed to shut him down. The Cardinal planted eyes on him every second he was on the floor, making sure the ball was never in his hands.
"

know that."
the number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Averaging 17.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game for the Big 12 regular season champions, Wiggins played at such a high level all season, one where he received many accolades. He earned the Big 12 Freshman of the Year honor, was named the Big 12 newcomer of the week three times and broke the Kansas freshman record for points in a season (597), passing the mark set by Ben McLemore last year. Two weeks ago, he was named to the All-America Second Team by the United States Basketball Writers Association.
"We always had an awareness of him because he is a great player and he has the ability to get hot quick," Stanford forward Dwight Powell said. "We stayed locked in."
It could have been the defense that never allowed him to get hot.
Or maybe it was just one of those days. Wiggins said there were a lot of things he would take back if he could. He missed shots he usually makes, made decisions he wished he hadn't.
"He put himself in position to make some plays and didn't make them like he normally
made them the majority of the year," Self said.
After the game, Wiggins shouldered a lot of the weight of Kansas' second Round of 32 loss in the last four years.
"My team played well and fought to the end," Wiggins said. "I just wasn't there for them when they needed me."
In reality, the team played one of its worst offensive games of the season. Other than senior forward Tarik Black, the rest of the Jayhawk starters scored just 20 points, making seven of 29 field goals.
In the four games Wiggins failed to reach double figures in scoring this season (the team went 3-1), his teammates were usually there to pick up the slack. Just not on Sunday.
Barring a major surprise, Wiggins is headed to the NBA, where he will continue to work on his already polished game against the world's elite.
"I learned a lot," Wiggins said when asked to reflect on the season. "I got a lot better. But today I just laid an egg."

GAME TO REMEMBER
Being the only starting senior, Black will remember this game for the rest of his life because it might be his last. Black came out and played like it was his last game, shooting 6-8 from the field and 6-8 from the free-throw line to score a team-high 18 points. Black fouled out with five minutes left and Kansas' offense truly missed his presence.

GAME TO FORGET
Andrew Wiggins, guard
This loss to Stanford will likely be Wiggins' last in a Kansas uniform and he failed to produce on the offensive end. The 1-3-1 zone Stanford play caused problems for Wiggins the whole game. He committed four turnovers and scored four points on 1-6 from the field. For Wiggins' last game, he left a sour taste in Kansas fans' mouths.

UNSUNG HERO
Conner Frankamp, guard
The Jeyhawk nation saw a glimpse of what Frankamp can bring to Kansas' offense next season. He hit four 3-pointers, one coming in the final seconds of the first half to give Kansas a halftime lead and two in the final minute to bring Kansas within a possession. Frankamp finished the game 4-7 from beyond the arc for 12 points.

"The main factor of the game was that we couldn't finish and make shots," Traylor said.
Though there was success within the season, Kansas not finishing with a run in the NCAA tournament leaves players who won't be returning with an uneasy feeling. Freshmen Wiggins and Joel Embiid will likely leave for the NBA. But it was Tarik Black, the only starting senior, showing the greatest disappointment after the game. He said the one of the main reasons he transferred to Kansas was to win in March and win big. Instead he was left with another early end to the season.

of incompleteness Duke's star freshman Jabari Parker alluded to after his team was eliminated on Friday.
Senior forward Tarik Black was hoping for an opportunity to play in front of his hometown. A win for Kansas would've returned him to the Memphis arena where he played for the last three years.
His 18 points and six rebounds were one of the few reasons why Kansas even had a shot at overtime. But he fouled out with five minutes remaining and watched from the bench as his dream disappeared.
Not even the senior could answer what comes next. He could only think about what could've been.
"That was my last game of college basketball," Black said, fully feeling the weight of the words.
Black may go back to Memphis to train this summer. He might stay in Lawrence instead.
"I'm not sure right now," Black said. "I'm still right here in the moment."

"I was able to make pitches when I had to," Duncan said. "Later in the game I was able to make some big pitches and get some strikeouts."
Senior closer Jordan Piché was given the loss. In his 2.1 innings of work, he let up the game winning run on one hit. For Piché, this was his first loss
of the season and fell to 3-1.
A bright spot for Kansas was that Justin Protocio reached base twice on Sunday and extended his on base streak to 34 games.
Kansas will travel to Omaha, Neb., Wednesday to take on the Creighton Bluejays.
"We have to give them a little payback," Protacio said. "We need to be ready for a big game on Wednesday."

RALEIGH, N.C. — Tennessee came to Tobacco Road and turned it into "Raleigh Top."
Jarnell Stokes had 17 points and a career-high-tying 18 rebounds, and the Volunteers denied Mercer a second straight upset in the NCAA tournament by routing the Bears 83-63 on Sunday night.
Josh Richardson had a career-high 26 points and Antonio Barton had 18 for the 11th-seeded Vols (24-12), who outrebounded Mercer 41-19 and kept the Southeastern Conference perfect in the tournament.
They joined Florida and Kentucky in the round of 16 — the first time three SEC teams made it that far since 2007.
Tennessee will face second-seeded Michigan (27-8) in a Midwest Regional semifinal Friday night in Indianapolis.
Stokes broke his 2-day-old school tournament record for rebounds.
Langston Hall had 15 points to lead the 14th-seeded Bears (27-9). They knocked off Duke in the signature upset of the tournament but couldn't answer Tennessee's size.
Mercer trailed by double figures for the entire second half before the Bears threatened to give themselves yet another fantastic finish.
They had the ball down 12 with about $2 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes left when Jakob Gollon — one of the heroes of the Duke upset two days earlier — threw the ball away in the lane, then fouled out a few seconds later.

McKae finished with 13 points for the Volunteers, who have won eight of nine with the only loss coming to the top-ranked Gators in the SEC tournament.
They are in the round of 16 for the fourth time in eight years, and the third team to go from the First Four to the Sweet 16 since the introduction of the extra round in 2011.
They also got a bit of payback: Mercer ended Tennessee's season last year with a 75-67 win in the first round of the NIT.
Ike Nwamu scored 12 points, Anthony White Jr. had 11 and Daniel Coursey added 10 for Mercer, the plucky Atlantic Sun Conference school trying to match Florida Gulf Coast's run last year to the regional semifinals.
The Bears drew a perfect matchup for their first game
— and couldn't have had a worse one for their second.
They were bigger, more experienced and more precise
than a Duke team loaded with high school All-Americans and a leaky defense, carving them up down the stretch in a 78-71 victory that ranks among the top upsets in the history of the tournament.
Tennessee never trailed and held a 24-4 rebounding advantage in the first half. Richardson scored 10 straight points midway for the Volunteers to turn a tight game into a double-figure lead. His 3 from the right wing made it 29-18 with $ \frac{6}{2} $ minutes left.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I want these kids to stay in school longer because the NBA is worse than it ever been. It's not good basketball. It’s frustrating for me to watch. These kids aren’t physically or emotionally ready to come and play against grown men. Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins are supposed to be top-3 draft picks. They didn’t have very good games — and it's just one game — but if they’re going to struggle against Mercer and Stanford, they're really gonna struggle against grown men."
- Charles Barkley

Since 2006, 57 players who were one year out of high school have been drafted by NBA teams — USA Today

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many players have gone directly from high school to the NBA?
A: 42

THE MORNING BREW
One-and-dones may not be ready for the NBA
Hotly contested at this year's NCAA Tournament is the "one-and-done" trend.
According to NCAA and NBA rules, athletes must complete one year of college before they enlist in the NBA Draft. This rule was implemented in 2006.
Before that, several NBA greats have came directly out of high school before the rule was instituted. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemeire, J.R. Smith, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady and Tyson Chandler all declared for the NBA right out of high school, but that's the cream of the crop.
By Amie Just sports@kansan.com
But since then, the 1991-1992 Michigan team, which included the one-and-dones, started to fall to the experienced teams. The 1991-1992 Michigan team consisted of Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King. Four of the team members were McDonald's All-Americans out of high school. Although the team advanced to the national championship game, it fell to the experienced team from Duke, led
by senior Christian Laetner, sophomore Grant Hill and junior Bobby Hurley. Duke only had one freshman on the roster that year and it delivered a beating to Michigan with the final score 71-51.
This season, many of the highly prospected early round draft picks, such as Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins, have put on shows for college basketball fans against other young teams, but come tournament time when they are to face more experienced teams, they become flabbergasted.
In the Round of 64, No. 3 Duke faced off against No. 14 Mercer. Mercer started five seniors while Duke started a senior, three sophomores and a freshman. Duke, predicted by most to
win, fell short, even though a junior guard came off the bench to assist the Blue Devils.
In the Round of 32, No. 2 Kansas took on No.10 Wisconsin. Freshmen Wiggins scored four points, freshman Wayne Selden Jr. scored two points and freshman Frank Mason scored two points. The majority of the points came from an experienced senior, Tarik Black.
Charles Barkley, an NBA great, spoke out after the Kansas-Stanford game, saying he believed that players to the likes of Wiggins and Parker should stay another year in college.
THE BREW
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has also spoken about the one-and-done trend. "It's not even so much about lottery busts," Cuban said. "It's about kids' lives that we're ruining. Even if you're a first-round pick and you have three years of guaranteed money — or two years now of guaranteed money — then what? Because if you're a bust and it turns out you
just can't play in the NBA, your 'Rocks for Jocks' one year of schooling isn't going to get you real far. I just don't think it takes into consideration the kids enough. Obviously, I think there's significant benefit for the NBA. It's
not my decision to make, but that's my opinion on it."
With all the negative press about one-and-dones, there have been several NBA players who have thrived in the NBA after just one year of college. Kyrie Irving, Derrick Rose, Kevin Love, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Greg Oden and DeMarcus Cousins are some of those, just to name a few.

Questions remain as season ends
COMMENTARY
By Blake Schuster
sports@kansan.com
ST.LOUIS - As soon as Conner Frankamp let go of the shot, he knew he missed. He knew he just threw away Kansas' chance at overtime. He knew this was the end before the ball ever sailed left of the goal, off the backboard and into the arms of Stanford's Dwight Powell.
It can't be any worse than what the Jayhawks were feeling after falling to Stanford 60-57 in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
That's not what left him and the Jayhawks with red eyes minutes later.
Not knowing is the worst part. It has to be.
At least on Sunday, Kansas could explain what went wrong. The players could detail how playing nervous in the first few minutes set the tone for the rest of the game. Or how Stanford's bigs were able to contest nearly every Kansas layup. Or how playing against a zone and lengthy guards limited Andrew Wiggins to just four points.
"If I would've done my part we would've won the game," Wiggins said. "I let the team down."
There are many questions about the Jayhawks' season that could be answered. What's worse are the ones that couldn't.
Maybe more than any team in recent memory, Kansas fans will look back at the 2013-14 team in five or 10 years and wonder how it didn't get past the first weekend. How with names like Wiggins, Joel Embid, Perry Ellis, Brannen Greene and Jamari Traylor they weren't able to achieve more.
The way the tournament was shaping up, even the players could feel a run coming.
They watched as Syracuse fell to Dayton on Saturday and imagined themselves grounding the Flyers a week later in the Sweet Sixteen.
"It was setting up nice for us," Frankamp said. "What if we would've advanced?"
injured center Joel Embid said he would "definitely" have played if that had been the case. Despite the fact Kansas was able to manage for a few games without him, it's irrefutable what his presence adds on the floor.
"I think I could've done something," Embiid said of the lavhawks' loss.
The same is true for Wiggins, who set the Kansas freshman scoring record in the same weekend he couldn't hit a shot.
His season ended much like the way it started: leaving everyone wanting more.
"The kid had a great year," coach Bill Self said after his first 10-loss season at Kansas. "I hate that the last game he labored like this."
But even Wiggins was learning something new. Of all the games hed played in, Wiggins had never felt this sort of devastation — a feeling

With 3.5 seconds remaining, Conner Frankamp took a shot from behind the arc in an attempt to tie the game and send the Jayhawks into overtime. The shot fell short and the Jayhawks lost to Stanford in the final seconds, 60-57, in the 3rd round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Jayhawks could never grab ahold of the game Sunday as Kansas ended its season with a 60-57 loss to the No.10 seed Stanford Cardinal in the round of 32.
"The game was a struggle from the opening tip, it seemed like," coach Bill Self said.
Stanford aggravated the Jayhawks' offense, forcing Kansas turnovers and bad shots.
The Cardinal used the size of their frontcourt on both ends, dominating the paint and taking away any chance for the Jayhawks to do the same.
Stanford's senior forwards Dwight Powell and Stefan Nastic, both 6-foot-11-inch guys, disrupted seemingly every Kansas shot inside.
The Cardinal outscored Kansas in the paint 30-20, with 12 of those coming from senior forward Tarik Black, who fouled out with five minutes to play.

"We were a little frustrated by it," sophomore forward Perry Ellis said. "We really didn't start attacking it until late in the game."
Stanford's defense held Kansas to a season-low 57 points on a season-low 32 percent shooting. The easy, close-range shots the jayhawks' usually manage with ease weren't falling.

Kansas slips to Dartmouth in 10th inning
ANGELS
BEN FELDERSTEIN sports@kansan.com
Kansas (16-8) failed to complete the sweep of Dartmouth (3-9) on Sunday as they fell 3-2 in 10 innings. The Jayhawks missed opportunities late in the early afternoon contest.
"We didn't come up big when we needed to," coach Ritch Price said. "We had a man on third with one out in the ninth and we couldn't capitalize."
Junior shortstop Justin Protacio was able to reach first on a two-base error by the third baseman and was promptly moved to second on a sac bunt from his sophomore double play partner, Colby Wright.
The Jayhawks seemed to be in business with their three and four hitters coming to the plate. Junior left fielder Michael Suiter drew a walk to put runners at the corners for junior right fielder Connor
McKay.
McKay entered the contest with a Big 12 leading 34 RBIs. McKay's lead atop the Big 12 is cushioned by 11 runs. McKay went down swinging on a breaking ball in the dirt. This brought Saturday's hero junior designated hitter Dakota Smith to the plate.
Smith put the exclamation point on Saturday's game, belting the go-ahead grand slam in the home half of the seventh inning. Sunday was a different story for Smith and the Jayhawks as he flew out the right fielder and stranded Protacio on third and Suiter on second.

STATE LEGISLATURE WEEKLY RECAP
Liquor production, public consumption, renewable energy repeal bills in legislation
TOM DEHART news@kansan.com
+
While University students took a vacation away from school, legislators in Topeka remained at work.
Some legislation that students may have missed while on break include bills that double the amount of alcohol local microbreweries can produce in a calendar year, designate areas of alcohol consumption in public, designate state fossils
and a Senate Substitute that repeals the current Renewable Portfolio Standards for energy providers in the Kansas.
A piece of legislation that drew critical attention over break was the creation of the Senate Substitute for House Bill 2014. This substitute would repeal the Renewable Portfolio Standards that required Kansas utilities to have 20 percent of their required energy come from renewable resources by 2020.
KEY BILLS AT A GLANCE
Senate Bill 433
The Senate Substitute for House Bill 2014 contains the contents of Senate Bill 433, and has replaced the original contents of House Bill 2014 in its form when it passed through the House of Representatives in the 2013 session. Originally, House Bill 2014 was a bill concerning inheritance rights related to a divorce.
Senate Bill 346
Senate Bill 446
Senate Bill 346 has the potential to increase the production rates of local breweries in the state to 30,000 barrels of alcohol instead of the state's current limit of 15,000 barrels. This piece of legislation could increase Lawrence's Free State Brewing Co.'s production rates.
Senate Bill 446 would allow the designation of areas for public alcohol consumption, as the bill states in Section 1. "A city may by ordinance establish a designated area located wholly within the boundaries of such city where alcoholic liquor may be consumed on public streets, alleys, roads, sidewalks, highways, parks and such other open public lands located within such designated areas."
House Bill 2595
House Bill 2595 would designate two state fossils, the tylosaurus and the pteranodon, as the official fossils of the State of Kansas. Currently, the bill was placed on the Senate's General Orders.

Social media panel talks free speech
KAYLA SOPER
news@kansan.com
As social media becomes more popular, the definition of freedom of speech is being tested. Tonight, at 7 p.m. in the Spooner Hall Commons, a panel of experts will discuss the question, "What is Free Speech in the Age of Social Media?"
Frank LoMonte, executive director of Student Press Law Center, will be one of the panelists along with Amy Gajda, associate professor at Tulane University law school: Stephen McAllister, professor at the University of Kansas law school and Deanell Tacha, dean of the Pepperdine University law school. LoMonte discussed the issue in a brief interview:
Fl: There is a case now going on in Minnesota where a student got expelled from a nursing program because he posted an angry Facebook post where he vented about
things he didn't like about the school. Though he didn't in any way break the law,
PETER PARKER
LoMonte
the college threw him out because they thought he was being unprofessional. Not everything that people find offensive [are] grounds for throwing people out.
UDK: What advice would you give to college students about social media?
UDK: What is a speech crime?
FL: Speech crimes are when students say things on social media that the school doesn't find professional. There are people who beat the heck out of people drunkenly at a party and don't get thrown out of college yet some will get thrown out for speech crimes.
FL: There is a big difference in a tweet that isn't professional and a tweet that you can get expelled for. In colleges legal boundaries aren't established. A lot of colleges are going too far in what they can and can't regulate. It is important, as students, to remember that there are First Amendment laws that a college can't cross. Not all your posts on social media have to be corporate-boardroom appropriate.
UDK: Are you dealing with any cases of students getting thrown out of school now because of a speech crime?
Kansas House approves joining health care compact
— Edited by Krista Montgomery
STATE
The measure, approved 74-48 by the House on Monday, seeks to add Kansas to a list of states, including Missouri and Texas, that have approved forming the compact. But a key Senate leader said that there may not be enough time to consider the bill before the session ends.
Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. — The future is murky for a House-passed bill that would allow Kansas to join a compact of states seeking an exemption from the federal health care overhaul.
Legislators adjourn April 4 for a three-week spring break and return later that month to consider any unfinished business.
The compact would allow member states to set their own health care policies while retaining federal health care dollars, but only if Congress approves. The compact would allow participating states to exempt themselves from other federal rules in addition to the health overhaul's regulations.
isn't scheduled to meet for the rest of the year, Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a Nickerson Republican, said. He didn't know where the measure would end up in the coming days.
The Senate committee that would traditionally hear the bill
Joining the compact could have implications for some 450,000 Kansas residents who participate in the federal Medicare program if benefits would be cut and increase their out-of-pocket expenses. It also could increase the cost to Kansas taxpayers, warned one GOP House member.
Meet the Grow KU candidates
MORGAN SAID
Morgan Said's youngest sister, a 13-yearold who loves cheerleading, told Said that she wanted to come to the University of Kansas for college.
Picturing her sister on campus years from now, Said focuses her campus involvement on longevity. She asks herself, "What can I influence now that will still be intact when she comes here?"
"This isn't only about us right now," Said said, referring to the Grow KU campaign. "It's about the generations before us and the generations behind us."
Said, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., said she's familiar with every level of student government due to her position as Student Senate outreach director.
"There is a climate in Senate that needs to be changed a little bit," she said. Said wants to make Student Senate a better liaison between the student body, student organizations and the administration.
With over 650 student groups on campus, every student should be able to find something that makes them feel like they belong on campus.
This semester, Said hosted a leadership roundtable. She and a few other representatives from Student Senate sat down with leaders from 25 student organizations to discuss how to promote each others' events and goals.
"Students who are involved will leave the University feeling like they left something behind and that they were a part of something bigger than themselves." she said. "I want everybody to have that feeling when they leave KU"
Said wants to make changes on issues that have been around for years, like it being scary to walk home from the library at night because there isn't enough street lighting on campus or giving students who commute somewhere on campus they can charge their phones and be between classes.
There's still so much more work needs to be done," she said.

When Miranda Wagner moved to campus, she was a first-generation college student who didn't really know what was going on. She said she was lucky to make friends who helped her get connected right away.
MIRANDA WAGNER
"I realized I could actually make a lifelong career out of affecting these things," Wagner said. "That definitely laid the foundation for everything I've gotten involved in since then."
Wagrer, a junior from Shawnee, said she has experience making tough decisions. This year, she's helped negotiate the athletics fee, student code of rights and responsibilities jurisdiction and the sexual assault training program.
Wagner said she knows student groups that have been afraid to petition Student Senate for club money. She wants to make sure that students are always prioritized by administration and aren't seen as just numbers.
Wagner said she got involved in Student Senate last year because she saw a wave of change coming.
As she was growing up, Wagner's dad would tell her, "Get a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life." She said this is what's motivated her to find a career she's passionate about and why she's committed to making the University a place where everyone can find their purpose too.
"A personal goal of mine is making sure everyone feels really connected to Student Senate," Wagner said.
"I care about this campus and I care about students as individuals," Wagner said. "That's why I do all of these things. And being busy keeps me happy."

Video games are traditionally played solo, with a few friends in front of a single screen, or online in competitive multiplayer. In each case, every player has their own avatar. But a recent social experiment, Twitch Plays Pokemon, has handed thousands of gamers the same controller and challenged them to work together.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Twitch, an online video game streaming service, started the experiment pioneered by an anonymous Australian programmer last month on Feb. 12. Since then, the crowdsourced game feed in which players enter commands through a chat window has moved successfully through the Pokemon Red and Crystal versions. The feed is now in day three of the Emerald version, hovers at around 10,000 viewers at any given time, and sits at more than 50 million total views.
The chaotic game model, constantly flooded with typed commands corresponding to the Game Boy buttons "up," "down," "right," "left," "a" and "b," has developed a nearly cult-like following. After users defeated the Red version in just over 16 days, Twitch announced it received an anonymous note slipped under the door at its headquarters. A small excerpt reads: "All praise helix! On the 16th day the final prophecy has finally come true."
Mike Marcus, a junior from Shawnee, followed the game with residents of his scholarship hall. Although he soon gave up playing it, he enjoyed watching the stream
and found it to be more than just a trivial time-killer.
"Looking online, I was really interested, as a religious studies major, in how it had developed a pseudo-religious state kind of like 'the flying spaghetti monster," Marcus said. "People come up with scriptures and songs, etc. There is a site with three or four songs dedicated to the helix fossil. That's what really sparked my curiosity."
Mike O'Donnell, a senior from Salina, has participated in the stream at times
From a psychological perspective, Twitch Plays Pokemon has also explored what a collective, mob-type group can accomplish. To make gameplay more doable in certain parts that require more precise movement, Twitch introduced a "Democracy" mode, in which players could vote their way out of "Anarchy" when necessary.
and enjoyed watching notable moments in the group progress. He said it's not surprising Twitch chose to experiment with crowdsourced gaming using a Game Boy game like Pokemon.
"With video games...it's gotten to be like, 'Here this, shoot this.' This kind of just produces a new challenge."
MIKE MARCUS
A junior from Shawnee
"That's the thing: It's a Game Boy game, so it's pretty simple," O'Donnell said. "It's not a lot of different inputs, just directions, 'a' and 'b' and start. It's like monkeys and typewriters and Shakespeare
— eventually you're going to beat the Elite Four."
For Rodrigo Chavez, a sophomore from Lima, Peru, the fact that so many users have been able to progress in the game and work toward a goal is the most telling part of Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Marcus added that while Twitch Plays Pokemon has been a fun change, he doesn't think it will be a new model for future gaming.
“[Thomas] Hobbes said we create institutions because we can't work in total anarchy,” Chavez said. “This basically proved him wrong, because it's a game that gives you its own difficulties that you have to surpass. Just like real life, there are random things that you don't know when they're going to happen. But, even with all those things, people were able to work together and finish the game. I think it can apply to our real lives in that people can cooperate in the end and do cool things.”

Tension between lawmakers, University evident in budget
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Longstanding tensions between some Kansas lawmakers and the University of Kansas have been evident in recent negotiations over the higher education budget.
The Lawrence Journal- World reports that some university defenders say the disagreements stem from the perception of the Lawrence community and campus as liberal in an otherwise conservative state. Some legislators say the university has hurt itself by being slow to recognize the reality of the state's budget problems.
The tensions have been evident as the university tries to convince legislators to increase funding for certain projects, including a new building at the medical center campus in Kansas City, Kan.
Mike O'Neal, a former House speaker and now president and CEO of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, is a KU alumnus and supporter of the university. However, he believes KU leaders have hurt their credibility by not recognizing a change in political climate in the Statehouse.
He said the perception is KU will do what it wants with spending regardless of what
the Legislature authorizes, such as salary increases.
"Unlike K-12, the state in terms of its relationship with higher ed is not the sole source of funding anymore," he said. "The mindset of the Legislature right now is, with limited resources, what is the state's role in higher ed in terms of the funding it does provide? And, as to the percentage of funding it does provide to higher education overall, what is the return on investment?"
University spokesman Tim Caboni said the message isn't lost on KU, but disagrees that relations are fractured.

DATA & DEMOCRACY WHAT IS FREE SPEECH IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA? PANEL DISCUSSION
Amid a changing social landscape of connectivity and communication, the legal and societal landscape of what is meant by 'free speech' may be shifting as well. The First Amendment guarantees free speech, but what are the substance and forms of that protection in the age of social media? As the use of social media in daily life grows exponentially, we consider what free speech and privacy mean in an era of immediate and unfettered access to wide dissemination, and whether there are new rules that characterize social engagement and free expression today.

The West cannot fight enemies with energy
The geopolitical unrest in Europe has some political pundits Using about using energy as
talking about using energy as a policy tool.
If you haven't already heard, Ukrainians overthrew their government earlier this year and Russia capitalized by occupying Crimea, an autonomous region of Ukraine with military importance. It's widely accepted, or at least hoped, that further military escalation won't happen. Rather, a battle of sanctions and rhetoric will ensue. The Wall Street Journal reports that most trade sanctions, due to mutual trade dependency, would
be as harmful to the West as they would be to Russia, but Russia has been an important energy supplier to Europe for ages. Can an alteration to U.S.energy policy weaken Russia's leverage?
Plenty of pundits would immediately say yes. By liquefying natural gas and exporting it to Europe, the U.S. can increase Europe's energy supplier diversity and reduce existing market power among key players like Russia. Let's fight Putin with energy. Let's cause some havoc for Russia and flood Europe with cheap U.S. natural gas.

before the horse. The infrastructure to liquefy and export enough natural gas to Europe doesn't exist yet. And the energy landscape of Europe is quite diverse. France has banned fracking; Germany is taking green to a new extreme with a wide range of subsidies; Ukraine is crisscrossed with Russian fossil fuel pipelines. It's probably worth noting
that major US oil and gas companies, like ExxonMobil have significant investments in Russian fossil fuel projects.
It doesn't help that the West, as a collective energy conglomerate, isn't all that coordinated compared to Putin's Russia. The same diversity of suppliers and market forces that support the West's energy stability makes it challenging to make a concerted effort at loosening Russia's energy roots in Europe.
Forget about coordinating some energy coup, because of all the reasons above, and for the same reasons trade sanctions won't work
on Russia: money. The incentives are simple: create value by producing energy. I doubt anyone studying engineering at KU, with the hopes of starting a career in the energy industry, is doing so to stifle Russia's energy dominance. If the US ever does export natural gas to Europe, it won't be motivated by weakening Russia's energy influence. I'm betting it will have to do with the price of natural gas.

Artists use cover songs to showcase their rarity
For those who still listen to the radio, there is nothing quite like the sensation of hearing the start of a familiar song. Then again, there's also an inherent pleasure in discovering a new song that's catchy enough to make you quickly whip out Shazam
While both the old and the new songs can make any music lover smile, consider a fusion of the two: a melodic mixture of old and new, creating something entirely different off the foreground of something familiar — that is what I consider cover songs to be.
At least, that is what I consider a successful cover song to be. I have heard countless covers by various artists where a well-known song is simply taken as is, adding nothing enticing or exciting.

Sure — matching the vocal range of Beyoncé or Christina Aguilera may show off incredible vocal skills, but it does nothing to establish an emerging artist as unique.
The television show "The Voice" offers an exemplary example of how a voice must possess both skill and rarity. Contestants have 90 seconds to win the coaches over, relying only on the sense of hearing. Perfect pitch is always nice, of course, yet the artists that add personal flair often capture the attention of
the coaches and audience leaving them to wonder what else the contestant can and will do if they are chosen to compete.
Caroline Glaser, a former KU student, competed on season four of "The Voice." Her unique voice and take on Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" landed her a spot on Blake Shelton's team.
Rarity adds the element of surprise — an anticipation of what is yet to come. I have found such rarity right here in Lawrence, whether it is while walking down Massachusetts Street or walking into a music venue
Weeks ago, I went to hear the group Brian Lockwood play. As I sat in the crowded bar trying to listen above the chatter, I was surprised halfway through the set.
What started off as a cover of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror," soon evolved into a three-part mashup that also included Tupac's "Changes," and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Same Love." This cover, produced by Gunter Jones, sets itself apart, and above, most others by performing a fluent
and complex combination of songs, taking a simple cover to the next level.
A cover can remain simple though, so long as it remains unique. Most Lawrence music fans may be familiar with the group Quiet Corral. The band has a wide selection of original songs, yet a favorite of mine is its cover of Aloe Blacc's "I Need a Dollar." Though this cover sticks with just one song, the vocal changes help to establish the song as the group's own.
The digital age of music has enabled countless aspiring artists to promote their music and to share their work instantly. Far too often I open my laptop to start on homework, only to discover that I had spent hours searching through new music and discovering up-and-coming bands.
What simplifies this task is being able to separate the average from the spectacular. Finding just one thing — whether it is a signature look, a prominent stage presence or a cover song that makes you stop and truly listen
can be all it takes to propel an artist out of the mainstream and into the spotlight.

Student ecomorphs develop in college
n ecomorph is a "species with the same structural habitat/niche, similar in morphology and behavior, but not necessarily close phyletically," as defined by Ernest Williams in 1972. Basically, an ecomorph individual lives in similar conditions and has certain behaviors and body structures as others in that ecomorph even if they aren't related.
All University of Kansas students have at least one thing in common: they are attending college. While that may seem like the most obvious statement ever, it is important to establish that we are living in similar conditions. KU students come from all over the world, establishing that we are not all closely related.
If you haven't caught on yet, KU students have their own ecomorph. While we are barely morphologically different from other humans, we have distinguished characteristics that are adapted to the "condition" of being in college.
By Jenny Stern
opinion@kansan.com
The University has multiple hills to conquer. Whether it is the 14th Street Hill or Daisy Hill, KU students have strong calves from walking to and from class on the hills. This characteristic of our ecomorph distinguishes us from humans blessed with flat campuses and other domains.
The KU student ecomorph also has the ability to regulate fluctuating stress levels. Although most humans have stressful deadlines and tasks, college has a unique schedule where most stressful tasks fall in certain weeks throughout the semester. While the other weeks are not necessarily easy, they may not be packed full with exams to take and
papers to write. Also, college is complete with winter, spring, and summer break, concentrating most stress levels in certain months whereas other months have more time for relaxation or focus on work and the stress that accompanies it (at least it is a different kind of stress).
The KU student ecomorph can adapt and live well with others. Sharing space with roommates is not just confined to college students, although it is more common than other periods of one's life. Managing living with others and managing stress may sometimes prove challenging so the KU student ecomorph has specific behaviors of communication and resistance to passive aggressiveness to ensure a happy living environment.
Maybe the KU student ecomorph isn't as defined as ecomorphs of other animal species. However, being a college student is an experience that most people only get once. So enjoy the specific changes, behaviors, and conditions that accompany this unique time in your life.

THE
GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL
"WES ANDERSON AT HIS BEST."
San Francisco Premiere
A film by
WES ANDERSON
STARLED BY
WES ANDERSON & PAUL GUINNESS
RELEASED BY
WES ANDERSON
'Grand Budapest' among Wes Anderson's classics
Author's Note: This review was written in the "Gonzo" style of Hunter S. Thompson. It is an experiment of the pen.
After plopping down and settling in, I leaned back and observed the packed theater, feeling surprised that a Wes Anderson film could sell out in the wildly un-cool midwest. My enclosed mind thought I deserved exclusive rights to this rare gem of a director I discovered years ago, and the reality of "Wes Anderson" becoming a household name seemed both encouraging and appalling to me. But there was little time for that sort of complex, deep-seeded cynicism just then. The lights went down, the previews rolled, and we were off.
“Grand Budapest Hotel” begins with a flashback. We see a lonely, well-traveled journalist (Jude Law) exploring a decaying, yet still functioning, European hotel in 1985. He is introduced to the hotel's owner (F. Murray Abraham) by the concierge (Jason Schwartzman). Journalist and owner then sit down for dinner, and the story of the owner’s “grand” acquisition of the hotel begins. The owner tells of his younger days, when he started work at the hotel as a lobby boy in the late 1930s. Upon his arrival, the lobby boy, who goes by “Zero” (Tony Revolori), is tucked under the wing of head concierge M. Gustav (Ralph Fiennes), who acts as Zero's boss, mentor and father figure as the film progresses. After the two first meet, Gustav finds himself in a bit of a ruse caused by his unslakable infatuation with elderly blondes who stay at the hotel. One of his longtime lovers, Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), is found dead and leaves Gustav a pricedess painting called "Boy With Apple" in her will. Madame D's furious relatives vow to stop Gustav from ever receiving the painting, but with Zero's help, Gustav steals it and starts a hilarious and quirky chain of events.

Explaining past this point would be in violation of my inner movie-conscience, because I believe you must see the film for yourself. The plot provides a fiendishly entertaining distraction from reality that is much more satisfying than any drug, and in order to fully appreciate it you should immerse yourself in it. This idea of an "escape" from the physical and social confines of our world defines Anderson's style, and the idiosyncrasies of "Grand Budapest Hotel" cement him even deeper into this benchmark. In fact, the movie is an absolute manifestation of everything that makes Anderson who he is. It epitomizes his classic stage-play-like use of complex, brightly colored sets depicted through a deliberately rigid camera. His usual lively ensemble is back - naturally including Bill Murray and Owen Wilson - performing as much innocent determination as ever. His quick-witted writing, amusing background action and comfortingly intricate chapter-title screens are
here in full force.
Front and center is Fiennes, a highly refined actor whose exaggeratedly poised performance as Gustav holds an uncanny charm. Gustav's character reveals a new side of Fiennes that strays far from his usual tortured or sinister roles, yet still showcases his capacity for emotional depth. Opposite Fiennes is Revolori, a new talent charged with the daunting task of keeping up with such a finespun counterpart. Despite such pressure, his performance is sharply clever; undoubtedly securing a spot among Anderson's ever-growing ensemble and landing him background roles in future Anderson flicks.
Despite Anderson's strong hold on his own style, he films all carry one weakness, and "Budapest" is no exception: writing substance. When you look past all the colorful vocabulary and snappy banter, his writing is only able to cut to childishly profound levels of life. This may be intentional; I will never know.
I am inclined to look at large life messages when I watch movies, so after seeing — and greatly enjoying — "Budapest." I have deduced this: While living life by strict, elegant rules largely because of his own vanity and insecurities, the real mission of Gustav's life is to give hope, encouragement and joy to those who have lost theirs. Anderson's films follow a similar set of rigidly quirky cinematic rules, and I believe he pursues a similar ambition.

Upstarts Kentucky, Stanford advance to Sweet 16
ASSOCIATED PRESS
+
ST. LOUIS - There were times this season that Kentucky coach John Calipari wondered whether his team, long on talent and short on experience, would ever buy into the gospel he'd been preaching.
Atter knocking off Kansas State and then ending Wichita State's pursuit of perfection, the eighth-seeded Wildcats are marching on in the NCAA tournament. They'll play No.4 seed Louisville, their bitter rival, on Friday in the Midwest Regional semifinals in Indianapolis.
Seems like they've bought in just in time.
"I told them after the game, I've been hard on you, like I've been on every team," Caliparis said after a thrilling 78-76 win over the top-seeded Shockers on Sunday, a game that wasn't over until Wichita State guard Fred VanVleet missed a 3-pointer at the final buzzer.
"It's just been a long process with these guys," Calipari said, "but at the end of the day, they're understanding what's acceptable and what's not acceptable."
Also advancing to the Sweet 16 out of St. Louis was No. 10 seed Stanford, which held on through a tense final few seconds to beat second-seeded Kansas 60-57 on a rough day for fans from the Sunflower State. The Cardinal will play No. 10 seed Dayton on Thursday in the South Regional semifinals in Memphis, Tenn.
Wichita State guard Fred VanVleet leaves the floor after missing a 3-point attempt in the final seconds against Kentucky during the second half of a third-round game of the NCAA tournament Sunday in St. Louis. Kentucky won 78-76.
"We beat a very good Kansas team," said Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins, who was considered to be on the hot seat entering the tournament. "I could not be more proud of

Nor could Calipari, whose youthful team began the season No.1 in the nation,and then lost so many games some wondered whether it belonged in the NCAA tournament at all.
The Wildcats (26-10) were criticized. They were dissected. They were written off.
Then they started to pick up steam in the SEC tournament, coming within a hair of knocking off Florida in the finals. And they've continued to play well in the NCAA tournament, beating Kansas State on Friday before knocking off the previously unbeaten Shockers.
"It's tough to see us go out like this. At the end of the day, someone's got to go home."
RON BAKER
Wichita State sophomore guard
Andrew Harrison had 20 points, Aaron Harrison had 19 and Julius Randle contributed 13 points and 10 rebounds on Sunday, the three freshman starters putting the Wildcats on their backs.
"That's a great team, and they have a lot of great players on that队," Aaron Harrison said. "It was a joy just playing the game. Battling is really fun."
The game went back and forth the entire way, Kentucky finally taking a 73-71 lead when James Young knocked down a 3-pointer with less than 2 minutes to go. Early answered with a basket for Wichita State, and Andrew Harrison made two free
throws for Kentucky. Ron Baker banked in a 3 for the Shockers, and Randle made two more foul shots for the Wildcats.
Windcuts "Both teams were making plays." Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said, his voice sounding tired. "Back and forth, back and forth."
Early's two free throws with 9.8 seconds left got the Shockers within 77-76, and they got their chance to add another chapter to their miraculous story when Andrew Harrison made the second of two free throws and Early pulled down the rebound.
Marshall drew up a play that had Tekele Cotton inbounding the ball to VanVleet, and after a couple dribbles he took a shot from the top of the key. But it was wide the entire way, clanking off the rim and sending the Wildcats pouring onto the court to celebrate.
VanVleet raced up court and called timeout with 3.2 seconds left.
Cleanthony Early scored 31 points and Ron Baker had 20 for the Shockers (35-1), who hadn't lost since last year's Final Four while taking an entire city — and state — on quite a ride.
"You're going to go through some humps in your life, kind of like this one. It's tough to see us go out like this," Baker said. "At the end of the day, someone's got to go home."
Turns out the Shockers were following the Jayhawks back to Kansas.
Andrew Wiggins was held to four points on 1-for-6 shooting for the jayhawks in what could have been his final college game, while Dwight Powell had 15 points and seven rebounds despite playing with
four fouls much of the second half for the Cardinal.
"To beat a team like this, a storied program with great coaching, great players, always feels amazing," Powell said. "So as of right now we're still in the race and we're still playing in March, and it feels great."
but he fouled out with 5:25 to go. Conner Frankamp had 12 points on four 3-pointers, the last two in the final 23 seconds to make it close after Stanford had pulled ahead by seven.
Tarik Black had 18 points and six rebounds for the Jayhawks,
Stanford was 9 for 12 at the free-throw line over the final 2:04 and needed all those points. Frankamp's second 3-pointer narrowed the gap to
59-57 with 14.9 seconds left.
Anthony Brown hit one of two free throws with 12.9 seconds to go and Frankamp banged a third 3-point attempt off the glass near the buzzer in a bid to tie it.
"I knew when that left my hand it was off," Frankamp said. "I didn't get a great look at it."

THE MORNING BREW
Royals prospects seek to change developmental woes
D despite the fact that the Kansas City Royals recorded their first winning season since 2003 last
year, it wouldn't be unfair to say the organization has struggled for a long time, proven by the fact that they haven't made the playoffs since 1985. One of the most glaring issues they've recently had is their inability to produce quality starting pitchers. In the last decade, the Royals have drafted seven pitchers in the first round of the MLB draft, and while a couple of these pitchers are too young to make judgment on yet, it's safe to say that pitchers like Matthew Campbell, J.P. Howell, Luke Hochevar and Mike Montgomery haven't exactly panned out. Some say it has been a drafting issue, others have said it has been a talent development issue, but either way it has been an issue.
But, while Royals fans shouldn't get too excited just yet, it seems as though the Royals may have two homegrown future aces on their hands: Yordano Ventura and Kyle Zimmer. The two
are ranked 26th and 23rd on Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list, respectively, and, according to many baseball scouts, they have the potential to end the negative stigma put on the Royals' pitching development system.
By Ben Burch
sports@kansan.com
Ventura, born in the Dominican Republic, has been working his way up the Royals' system since he was signed as an unrestricted free agent in 2008. And this season, Ventura will have the chance to make an immediate impact, as he was recently awarded the final spot in the Royals starting rotation after four stellar preseason outings so far. While it's true that spring training stats don't always translate to the regular season, Ventura has been impressive, nonetheless, with a 1.77 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 20.1 innings pitched. However, his preseason performance stats aren't the only things that have many pitching scouts buzzing about
Ventura — it's the fact that the 22-year-old right-hander has some nasty stuff. His fastball can reach triple digits, and yet many say his best pitch is his curveball, which has a ton of depth to it. Because Ventura has these kind of pitches in his arsenal—if he is able to locate them well—he could be set up for a great season and an even better career as a Royals starter.
Although Zimmer, the Royals' first round draft pick in 2012, will not be expected to make his major league debut until mid-season, the 22-year-old is projected to be one of the Royals' future stars down the road. At 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, the right-hander has the kind of size and strength that often signify a durable, workhorse, top-of-the-rotation kind of pitcher. And much like Ventura, he has a set of pitches ready for the major leagues. With a little more fine-tuning, he may
THE BREW
live up to the expectations of many analysts, including ESPN senior baseball writer Keith Law, who called Zimmer "the future ace the Royals have been trying to develop since they traded Zack Greinke."
So, can
we say with absolute certainty that the bust-laden era of the dismal Royals pitching prospect is over? No, this is still the Royals, people. But, with pitching prospects like Ventura and Zimmer actually making good progress in the Royals system, one cannot but get a little excited.

Baltimore Orioles' baseman recovers; new guy steps in
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARASOTA, Fla. — Manny Machado is trying not to think when he'll play next for the Baltimore Orioles.
On Sunday, manager Buck Showalter announced the AllStar third baseman will start the season on the disabled list.
Machado, who had surgery on his left knee in October, is trying not to be disappointed.
"I was just trying to get ready as fast as I can," Machado said.
"Go out there and get ready and come back and help the team whenever I can," Machado said Monday. "It's unfortunate, but it's just part of it. I'm only five months out of surgery.
So, obviously, I would have hoped to be ready for opening day, but it was just a longshot, just a hope."
Machado was hoping to be ready for the March 31 opener against World Series champion Boston.
Once he was slowed by a left calf muscle injury and scar tissue, he knew he wouldn't make it.
"Fortunately, we've been pretty good but not yet."
He visited his surgeon, Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache, last Thursday, and was released for activity.
"Just keep doing the same things I've been doing. Nothing changes," Machado said. "Go out there and keep doing what I'm doing, little by little, increasing things and hopefully get in games soon."
Showalter said during the weekend that Machado will have a rehab stint. Baltimore
executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said that Machado has to pass definitive tests before he rejoins the team.
RAINOUT:
"He needs to meet some of these thresholds with his running before he can play," Duquette sad. "And after he meets those thresholds, running, he probably needs at least 50 at-bats to be prepared to compete in the major leagues."
The Orioles' spring training game against the Boston Red
Sox was canceled by rain after two scoreless innings.
The game began after a delay of 79 minutes, and rain resumed falling in the bottom of the first.
NO CHANGE:
Jake Peavy of the Red Sox and Brian Matusz of the Orioles each pitched two scoreless innings.
Boston manager John Farrell said outfielder Grady Sizemore will play three straight days beginning on Tuesday. Sizemore was expected to play Monday,
Sizemore has not played in the majors since 2011 when he was with Cleveland.
but Jackie Bradley, Jr. started instead.
NEW GUY:
Infielder Steve Lombardozzi, who was traded to Baltimore from the Detroit Tigers for Alex Gonzalez on Monday morning, arrived in time for the game though Showalter said he wouldn't have used him.

S
Wichita State outperforms Kansas in St. Louis
COMMENTARY
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
For the better part of the year, Kansas and Wichita State fans were locked in a furious debate about the merits of their respective teams. Each fan base believed their team reigned supreme and was the best the state had to offer.
THE MORNING BREW
Pitching prospects may change Royals' woes
PAGE 7
While the two teams never got the chance to battle and end the argument, Sunday's matchups at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis shed light on the subject. That light illuminated many of the weaknesses in Kansas' argument.
Joel Embid's injury aside, Kansas didn't look like one of the nation's elite. More startling than that, many of Kansas' shortcomings in December didn't improve in March. I'll just chalk up Andrew Wiggins' struggles as an anomaly. However, almost every other active player remained plagued by early season struggles.
However, after Sunday, it would be difficult to argue that Kansas was the better team in 2014.
Both teams lost and neither made it past the Round of 32. But not all losses are created equal. Wichita State was the superior team on Sunday, and it wasn't really close.

Edited by Austin Fisher
Naadir Tharpe continued his recent stretch of lackadaisical play. The offense continually stalled under Tharpe's leadership, as he was unable to get the ball to his teammates in scoring position. Wayne Selden's shot was off all day, and throughout the year, Selden would go into hiding if his shot wasn't falling. Sunday was no exception.
75 percent of them scoring.
Maybe Kansas and Wichita State will continue to motivate one another for years to come.
More likely, Wichita State will eventually regress back to the mean.
Perry Ellis got outmuscled in the paint and flustered by Stanford's length, like his performances against San Diego State and Texas. Jamari Traylor showed defensive intensity, but made the same turnovers that plagued him all year. Frank Mason's outside shot never improved and he still couldn't finish in traffic. Once again, Tarik Black was in foul trouble. The most important story lines from Sunday's loss could have been pieced together by copying and pasting headlines from December.
Meanwhile, Wichita State was beat by an underseeded Kentucky team that was the top-ranked team in the preseason. Wichita State has two clear alpha dogs in Cleanthy Early and Ron Baker. The Shockers talked on defense, understood spacing, and played off one another like an elite team. They took care of the ball, only had eight turnovers and didn't beat themselves. Instead, they were beat by a superior team. That Kentucky team would have beat an Embidid-less Kansas by double figures.
Fred VanVleet and Baker would have a field day with Tharpe and Selden. Early would eat Ellis for dinner and still have room for an extra slice of cake. Gregg Marshall appeared more comfortable with his team's strengths and weaknesses than Bill Self was. That's not to say Self did a poor job with this team, but rather that Self seems to thrive more with juniors and seniors. Kansas fans can't forget that the Jayhawks had five new starters and replaced more than 75 percent of their scoring

Jayhawks enjoy strong start in March
BEN FELDERSTEIN sports@kansan.com
March is a time for college basketball.The season'sending, conference tournaments are starting and the Big Dance is getting underway. For most college students at a school like the University of Kansas, college basketball is all they know in the early months of the calendar year.
But for coach Ritch Price and the rest of the Kansas baseball team, these early months have meant something entirely different.
The Kansas baseball team got their season underway on Feb. 4, against Brigham Young University. The teams played a four-game series in a neutral location in Peoria, Ariz.
The Jayhawks posted a fourgame sweep of the Cougars, scoring 33 runs in the series.
Senior outfielder Tucker Tharp won the third game with a walk-off single in the 10th inning.
"That whole game was a crazy rollercoaster." Tharp said. "It felt great to get a win like that early in the season."
The Jlayhawks then travelled to Port Charlotte, Fla., to compete in the Snowbird Classic. Kansas remained undefeated over the four-day tournament, defeating Northwestern, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Mississippi Valley State and St. Bonaventure. The offense remained hot through out the Classic, as Kansas put up 43 runs over the stretch.
Kansas won its first game of the tournament on the back of senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge. Eldredge's gamewinning hit in the top of the 11th inning putting the finishing touches on a late-inning comeback.
"I had a chance to put us ahead." Eldredge said. "The other guys got on base and I put a good swing on a ball and put us ahead."
Senior pitcher Frank Duncan took the reins in the third game of the tournament. He went 7.2 innings, allowing four hits, and one earned run while striking out 14. Duncan has continued that trend this season and has become a strong senior leader in the rotation. Before Sunday's game against Dartmouth, he was 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA.
"That was the best I've ever seen his breaking ball," Price said. "He hit the strike zone all seven innings he threw."
Kansas remained undefeated on the season until its tenth game of the season in the second game of a four-game series against Houston Baptist. The Jayhawks won three out of four games in their series and are headed to Stanford, Calif., with and 11-1 record to face the Cardinal.
Kansas picked up its first series loss against Stanford. The Jayhawks lost two of the three games by only one run
"We were one or two big hits away from getting the sweep." Eldredge said. "It left a really bad taste in your mouth."
After 15 straight road games, Kansas finally got the opportunity to play in front of a home crowd at Hoglund Park. Kansas lost a heartbreaker to Oral Roberts, 8-7. Junior outfielder Connor McKay recorded two hits and two RBIs in the game.
McKay has been on an absolute tear this season as he leads the Big 12 in RBIs. McKay is batting .305 on the season with five home runs and 34 RBIs. McKay has an 11-run cushion atop the league leaders in the conference.
"It's a combination of a few things," McKay said. "It's me being here for three years and just my comfort at the plate. I've been keeping my swing short and taking a strong mental approach at the plate."
Kansas traveled to Austin, Texas, to face the Big 12 powerhouse and 10th ranked Texas Longhorns. The Jayhawks were able to pick up their first road series win against the Longhorns since 1996. Duncan pitched another gem in the series finale with seven shutout innings and giving up four hits.
Senior closer Jordan Piche' got the victory in the finale and improved to 3-0 on the season. Piche' was named one of the 30 preseason candidates for the 2014 senior CLASS award, given to the nation's most outstanding senior.
After the series win in Texas, the Jayhawks were ranked 18th in the country. Kansas looked to ride that momentum into a two-game series against New Mexico. The Jayhawks were unable to capitalize and lost both games to the Lobos.
The Jayhawks headed to Lawrence for their first series of the year against the Dartmouth Big Green. Kansas scored a combined 24 runs in the first two games
of the series. McKay drove in four RBIs in the first game including his fifth home run of
"Everyone on this team knows their roles and that's why we've found success."

homeruns since 2009. Junior designated hitter Dakota Smith hit a grand slam to grab the lead and Tucker Tharp followed up with a solo shot of his own. Kansas fell 3-2 in a disappointing series finale loss.
Junior shortstop Justin Protacio has had a strong start to the season as well. Protacio has reached base safely in 34 straight games.
"Being a leadoff guy, that's my role." Protocio said. "Everyone on this team knows their roles and that's why we've found success."
The Kansas baseball team is
now 16-8 on the season and 2-1 in conference play. So, to those still mourning the loss of the Kansas basketball team, walk across the parking lot and spend an afternoon watching Connor McKay, Justin Protocio, and the rest of the Kansas baseball team
"We still have to make progress, without question," Price said. "But we have found great success early on this far and are looking forward to the rest of the season."

Aqmar Rahman and Madeline Heeren dream of a day when the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh are filled with crimson and blue.
The two law students are the founders of the nonprofit organization United Across Borders with a simple yet ambitious goal — to provide T-shirts and blankets to the poor around the world with the help of fellow Jayhawks.
SLUMS OF DHAKA
"Our mission is to provide people with certain things that are basic necessities that we don't really think about. We buy T-shirts and we throw them away, and we want to re-purpose that for a good cause for the people that really need it," Rahman said.
Having spent the past 13 years in Lawrence, Rahman, second year law student, considers himself a "townie" and a die-hard Jayhawk. However, his roots lie half way across the world in Dhaka.
Dhaka is the crowded capital of Bangladesh, where more than 30 percent of its population lives in poverty according to World Bank. It's where the highly publicized factory collapse occurred last April, with casualties of more than 1,100 people.
After hearing about the fac
tory collapse last spring, Rahman jumped at the chance to go back to Dhaka as a summer intern at a local law firm, which handled the case for the factory collapse. Madeline Heeren, also a second year law student from Lenexa, joined Rahman.
"We wanted to go and see what really happened, what the factories are really like, if they are as bad as the news made them out to be," Heeren said.
In Dhaka, they couldn't help but notice the irony. In the second largest garment and textile manufacturer in the world, the people working in the garment factories didn't have clothes to wear themselves.
"I grew up there so I was aware of the poverty. When you are in that situation, living among poverty, it becomes so normal you become desensitized to the situation," Rahman said. "But after living in the U.S. for an extended period of time and then going back, it really hits you, the immense level of poverty that's there. The things that we as Americans take for granted on a daily basis are luxuries for people living in poverty in Bangladesh."
BIRTH OF AN IDEA
Heeren took some Reeses chocolate to share with the kids in Dhaka. So many kids gathered around the vehicle,
she couldn't move. After seeing how easily delighted the children were, she also gave away a couple of old Jayhawk shirts out of their own luggage when visiting Dhaaka's slums.
Chocolate, Heeren believes,
is universal — everyone knows
it and loves t. Apparently, so is
a smiling layhawk.
"It was really exciting to give them something that perhaps don't mean that much to us,
a used shirt, but gave them so much joy," Rahman said. "I think all the kids loved the Jayhawk. It's a smiling bird, and they probably didn't understand it, from our point of view, it was exciting to share our Jayhawk pride with them, to see them in crimson and blue."
On their way back, Heeren and Rahman were trailed by children running after the car
for good 10 minutes in hopes of more treats.
BUY A SHIRT, GIVE A SHIRT
"That's when Madeline had the idea to start United Across Borders, to provide basic necessities to people who don't have anything honestly," Rahman said.
the nation to donate old KU shirts and blankets or buy a United Across Borders shirt from the KU Bookstore for its Buy A Shirt, Give A Shirt campaign. For every shirt sold, the organization can give two shirts and a blanket to someone in Bangladesh.

For English students Blair-Lawrence Yates and Alexander Eleftheriou, international student orientation last fall was one of the strangest experiences of their lives.
news@kansan.com
Yates and Eleftheriou are both theater majors from the University of Kent who are spending this year studying abroad at the University. Yates is studying to become a director; Eleftheriou an actor.
"All of the orientation leaders lined up at the front, they held hands and they swayed—they were singing the Alma Mater. I was with a bunch of British kids in the back and we were like 'What the hell?' Yates remembered. "At that time, I was regretting coming here. I was like, 'Are they serious?' I get it now; I get that that's just school spirit, but it just felt so patronizing at the time, because everyone at university in Britain is just, 'Uh...I don't know about you, but I can't wait to leave.' But then again, that's just British culture — everything's just a bit more depressive," he laughed.

Despite his jokes about coming to a smaller Midwestern town, Eleftheriou had a large smile on his face when he spoke about his fondness for the University.
"Generally, I liked the look of KU." Yates said. "I thought it would be different. I knew that KU had a good drama department. I knew they had experts from the West and East Coast coming in to teach all of them are very prominent in their field."
"I didn't think I'd like the Midwest, but I really do,' he said. "When you think of America, you think that everyone is ultra-religious, Republican — but that's just not the case at all. People are so differ-
Eleftheriou grew up in London, a city known for its abundance of theater. Yates grew up in Canterbury, but would visit London and its theaters often in his childhood, to which he attests his interest in performing.
"The reason I'm here is actually because of Blair," he said. "[Blair] said, 'I'm going to put down Kansas as one of my choices,' and I was like, really? Kansas? Like, are you really going to do that? I looked it up on the internet and I thought, okay. I put this down as my fourth choice, and the lady just put me here, I think because no one else put it down as a choice."
While this also factored into Eleftheriou's decision, he said
the final choice was probably due more to chance. It was only because of Yates that Eleftheriou selected Kansas as one of his choices in the first place (albeit, his fourth choice school).

desh is that if a family gets a blanket, the whole family will huddle up with this one blanket during the night, so one blanket can support a family of four or five," Rahman said.
Rahman and Heeren had already held a successful clothing drive within the law school, and Estella McCollum, the director of the KU Bookstore is optimistic about the new campaign.
"I'm really impressed with the passion they have for what they are doing, and I think it's a good opportunity to provide KU students and alumni and fans to buy not just another KU shirt, but a KU shirt that has a positive message with it," McCollum said.
With the success of the Buy A Shirt, Give A Shirt campaign, the organization hopes to expand further, to create a global Jayhawk force.
"Bangladesh is just a starting point," Rahman said. "You have to start somewhere, and because we were there this summer, it hits close to us and I think it's a good place to begin. Hopefully, we can expand to all corners of the world if we can get enough help from our lavhawk fans."
"The T-shirt, it represents that the Jayhawk nation is everywhere," Rahman said. "Wherever in the world you are, your Jayhawk pride travels. And if you buy our T-shirt, hopefully, we can create Jayhawk pride in the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh, whether they know it or not."
For now, Rahman and Heeren are content with creating a second home for the Jayhawks in Dhaka. The simplest way to help is to donate a shirt or buy a shirt, Rahman said.

ent from what you expect.
Although Eleftheriou did not attend any basketball games this year at the University, he did attend football games in the fall, as his roommate was a member of the team.
For Yates and Eleftherion, the theater program at the University is radically different from that of their home university. The theater program at Kent is incredibly academic-based with a stricter grading system and more theory. Yates explained that here at the University, learning is more practical.
"For me, this concept of college sports doesn't exist in England," he said. "It was really funny — I used to sit with the parents of the [players], and you learn how from a young age they're playing football, playing football. It was amazing hearing the stories of the parents. I'm going to have to support Kansas now; I'm really looking forward to going back and wearing the Jayhawk. I really want to see if people shout, 'Rock Chalk' from across the road. Apparently it happens; there's a big [KU] community in London and I'm looking forward to it."
“[In England,] you pop into University maybe 10 hours, possibly 12 hours a week and you never have to go back on campus,” Yates said. “Here, you're actually doing plays and directing stuff and you're learning how to act, rather than just the theory of acting. We [English students] learn very early on some things that aren't taught here until graduate level, but we never learn the practical side — you have
to go to a drama school for that."
"I'm so glad, so glad, that I had that experience," Eleftheriou said, smiling. "I didn't audition for it, but Peter Zazzali sent me an email. He said, 'Do you want to be in Much Ado?' And I said, 'Why? What happened?' He said the [actor] doesn't know if he wants to do it, because he has a professional gig in KC. So I thought I was going to be an understudy, and then the next day [Zazzali] said, 'He's not in it any more — you've got the whole thing.'
In addition to their academics, the two students have become highly involved with the University productions. Both Yates and Eleftheriou were cast members of "Much Ado about Nothing."
Eleftheriou explained that the show was of a collaborative nature, with director Zazzali asking actors for their opinions and suggestions throughout rehearsals. Although Eleftheriou wished for more planned rehearsals at times, he still thoroughly being a part of the show.
"I think I've learned more from 'Much Ado' than any of my classes," he said. "[I learned] about Shakespeare, about vocals, about directing in general — I really loved Peter Zazzali's class about directing. In 'Much Ado', I got to see him work and understand the importance of collaboration and of the words. I learned so much through him in that play."
Yates' face lit up as he talked about his time on the stage of the Crafton-Preyer Theater — his favorite memory as an actor.
"Being on stage is fantastic,"
he said. "There's one big scene where I have a speech about me being an ass. It's a very funny monologue. Whenever I came off and people were laughing — sometimes in one or two shows people applauded after it — that was it, that was the moment for me. Happiest moment at KU, happiest moment of being an actor, is just getting that feedback from the audience."
Yates is also an ensemble member in "The Other Shore" and is in the process of writing and revising three plays and a monologue. One of his plays, "The Human Exhibit," was performed in a rehearsed reading in December for his independent study program. The one-act play features two ghosts haunting a museum and contemplating their lives.
After "The Other Shore" is performed, Yates will also direct the play, "The Big Ride," to be performed in "May.
Despite his love for all things theater, directing both his own works and others' works is what he hopes to do in his future.
"Directing is great for me because you get to engineer everything," he said. "You get to play with the actors. Together you discover where you want to go with a scene, what the characters are doing, how they are doing it. You get to work with the script and rediscover what it has to say and find out what you want to show from the script and how you want to come across with the play."
Eleftheriou is creating a documentary about his experience as a Brit in America and the mystique surrounding his culture for his independent study program. He
hopes to create a film that will demonstrate the American fascination with the British culture, which he has experienced firsthand.

"When you think of America, you think of course, because I'm British, everyone is going to be asking about my accent. And I thought it was just stereotypical, but it was actually true," he laughed. "People do come up to you, wanting you to speak to them. They say, 'Oh my God, you're British!' I couldn't get over it." Yates and Eleftheriou both explained that the intimacy of the University's theater program is something they will miss when they return to England.
Yates hopes to return to the U.S. after graduating from Kent and continue his theater career in a big city like New York. Although Eleftheriou plans to pursue his career in England, returning to the U.S. is something that he would not refuse.

"If someone said, 'come back,' I would definitely come back and visit," Eleftheriou explained. "I feel like I have a connection now here. America is crazy — but in a good way."

"KU is exceptional," Yates said. "There's really a sense of family. Normally what you see, back home and in the professional world as well, is an egotistical environment. The people who think they're the best often act like they are, and don't give any time to anyone else. KU is the only place where I haven't seen that happen. There's no cliques; everyone just wants everyone else to succeed."

Longboarders struggle with on-campus restrictions
CODY KUIPER news@kansan.com
While many people like to take their cars, the bus, a bike or simply walk to campus, a small group prefers to take a different approach.
Students like Derek Orfanos, a junior from Chicago, like to cruise to class on a longboard.
"It's just a fun way to get around," said Orfanos, who's been using the skateboard-surfboard hybrid for about three years. "It's a lot easier than other ways of getting around, like if you're on a bike and have to lock it up and all that."
But longboarders like Orfanos run into a bit of a problem once they reach campus on their boards: it's outlawed. According to a city ordinance, it is illegal to use a skateboard, rollerblades, rollerskates or another similar device on sidewalks from the area of Jayhawk Boulevard from West Campus Road to Thirteenth Street, including 1,000 feet on either side of that area.
Violators of the ordinance are subject to a citation up to $90 and are summoned to appear in municipal court according to Article 17-702.2(B) the Code of the City of Lawrence. The violators longboard could also be impounded. The law has been in effect since July 1996.
Although Orfanos has never been issued a citation, he
has been pulled over twice by campus police for violating the rule, one that he disagrees with because the differences between a skateboard and a longboard aren't considered in the law, he said.
"A longboard is kind of like a bike because it's flat and doesn't have a lip like a skateboard, so you can't do tricks and jump up and do damage to school property," he said. "You just kind of cruise on the streets, so it's a bit different than skateboarding. It's a means of getting around more as opposed to having fun and jumping around."
Colby Killinger, a senior from Silver Lake, has also been longboarding to class since he arrived at the University in 2009. He said he's been told to stop on campus multiple times as well, and always tries to convince officers why he sees longboarding as a different and safer means of transportation compared to skating.
"You don't get off the ground, that's the big difference between it and skating," he said. "Skateboards are touchier too, you might hit a small rock or twig and it will knock you over, but on a longboard you just cruise right over that stuff." Killinger transferred to the University from Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, and one of the biggest differences he noted was what he sees as a lack of respect for longboarders from Lawrence
citizens.
"Lamoni was just a very longboard-aware town," he said. "We could bomb a hill and there's a car cruising right behind us, whereas here a car might try and pass you and get around you. There was more of an acceptance there, and here it's more looked down upon, where people think it's kind of a nuisance."
"Safety is a concern as it deals with a large pedestrian population," said KU Public Safety Captain James Anguiano. "This would also be the case if someone was riding in the street as it would deal with vehicular traffic."
While damage to campus property is one of the reasons the ban on skateboarding exists, another motivating factor is the safety of those walking on sidewalks as well.
Killinger said he understands longboarding at the University could potentially be dangerous. He thinks some sort of balance needs to be struck that allows students to longboard near campus, but keeps other pedestrians safe.
"You have to know your limits and skate within them," Killinger said. "Boarders have to be respectful of other students and campus goers, so I could understand no longboarding between the booths during school hours."

Kansas now able to strip Planned Parenthood funds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Kansas can strip two Planned Parenthood clinics of federal family planning money while the organization moves forward with its legal challenge of a state law it says is retaliation for its advocacy of abortion rights.
Planned Parenthood
of Kansas and Mid-Missouri
At issue in Tuesday's ruling is money distributed to states under Title X, a federally financed family planning program. The Title X money targets low-income individuals seeking reproductive services such as birth control, pregnancy testing, cancer screenings and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. It cannot be used for abortions.
ly be overturned. He ordered Kansas to continue funding Planned Parenthood until the case was resolved. He also found the state law violates the U.S. Constitution's supremacy clause, saying states cannot impose additional requirements for entities to qualify for federal programs.
This photo shows the Planned Parenthood at 2226 E Central Ave. in Wichita, Kan. A federal appeals court on Tuesday, March 25, ruled that Kansas can strip two Planned Parenthood clinics of federal family planning funds while the organization moves forward with its legal challenge of a state law.
U. S. District Court J. Thomas Marten blocked enforcement of the state law in 2011, ruling that it unconstitutionally was intended to punish Planned Parenthood for advocating for abortion rights and would like-
A divided panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver overturned Marten's rulings, saying Kansas can halt the funding. Tuesday's decision is not a final ruling on the merits of the case itself, and the appeals court sent the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. Given the split 2-1 ruling and the issues at stake in the litigation, it is also likely that the panel's decision could be appealed to the full court for a rehearing.
ASSOICATED PRESS
The appeals court panel rejected Planned Parenthood's claims that losing the family planning money amounted to a violation of free-speech rights for associating with
abortion providers. It also said that the supremacy clause does not necessarily entitle Planned Parenthood to a court order forcing the state to continue the family planning funding.
The panel rejected the notion that Planned Parenthood can challenge the state law as unconstitutionally "solely on the ground that its passage was motivated by a desire to penalize Planned Parenthood's protected speech and association." Judge Carlos Lucero wrote that Marten's ruling was "well-grounded" in its findings of fact, had correctly applied court precedent and was free of error.
Kansas had argued Marten's ruling "emasculates the state
Planned Parenthood's lawsuit challenged a Kansas law that requires the state to fire allocate Title X money to public health departments and hospitals, which leaves no funds for specialty family planning clinics like Planned Parenthood.

JOBS
The only thing that I can think of is sleep. Time hasn't been
moving, probably because I keep stealing glances at the clock. I've been bussing tables for 13 hours so far — my entire day. I opened this morning. Now I'm closing.
I got stuck with the double shift because a co-worker didn't show up again. I have every right in the world to be angry, but I'm not. I'm just tired.
At least it's better than the time half of my coworkers didn't show up for New Year's Eve, or when we were grossly understaffed for Christmas Eve. I take out the trash and some of the trash juice seeps out of the bag and splashes on my face. I clock out.
Stories like these are a dime a dozen in the service industry. I spent my high school years working in various service jobs. Cooking, bussing, delivering, dishwashing, I did it all. It was probably one of the worst times of my life. Even though I hated it, I think it's something everyone should experience.

That sucks, but it builds a thick skin. At a certain point you become immune to it. I learned to just accept certain things and move on. I probably lost a few years of life from all of the unnecessary stress, but made it back with the wisdom that I gained.
I also picked up some useful skills. I gained knowledge on how to thoroughly (and I mean thoroughly) clean anything and everything. I learned how to cook a myriad of different foods. Time management became important. I learned the value of a dollar.
I also cultivated a work ethic that will stick with me for the rest of my life. As horrible as my jobs were, that didn't mean that I was complacent about my work. There's a stereotype that food workers are lazy because they don't care about their jobs (or don't make enough money to care).
That's true to a degree. Some workers didn't care; most of them got fired pretty quickly.
I had to work hard because I was expendable. Workers were in and out every week.
I was pushed by those jobs. I discovered that I'm capable of a lot, and that I was capable of a lot more than a minimum wage job. As a teen, working in food was almost like a "scared straight" program.
There's nothing more hopelessly depressing than the thought of working in food for the rest of your life. Because of the fear for my job, I created the drive to never have to go back to it.
The life lessons, skills and independence I gained from working in food can't be produced from any other activity alone. I also made money while I did it. Even if you're no longer a teen, many individuals learn these lessons in college. There are plenty of food jobs in Lawrence. Or maybe you can't, but you can consider it for your children.
You can at least respect the most important lesson that I learned — always leave a tip.

MOVIES
Give new 'Annie' actress a chance
one of the most popular musicals of the 20th century
starred a curly, red-headed orphan who went by the name of Annie. Many remakes of "Annie" have been done, most frequently adapted as musicals, with every Annie being played by a white female with curly red hair. A new movie trailer for "Annie" came out earlier this month, and many viewers were taken aback when they saw the girl who is going to be America's new Annie.
Oscar-nominee,
Quvenzhané Wallis, has been chosen to play the iconic role of Annie, and she is anything but your "traditional" Annie. Wallis is a 10-year-old African-American actress whose performance in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" earned her a best actress Academy Awards nomination back in 2012 - making her the youngest actress ever to receive this nomination. Not surprisingly, the internet exploded with comments about Wallis being chosen as Annie, and of course the comments had to do with the color of her skin.
By Cecilia Cho
opinion@kansan.com
People disregard the fact that Wallis is an amazing actress, instead they are focusing on the issue that she is not white and not a red-head. Personally, I feel that "Annie" is beneath Wallis' acting abilities, but that alone should give viewers a reason to think that this rendition of "Annie" will be phenomenal. Twitter comments flooded with remarks like, "I'm not racist but..." and followed with comments about how Annie should be played by someone who is white. If you have to defend yourself and say you are not being racist, you are, in fact, being racist. Annie is a fictional story. Who cares if it started off with a white, red-headed girl? Keeping things traditional is boring. It's fun to change things up every now and then, and this gives more
opportunities for talented actresses like Wallis to shine
For those who don't remember, there have been plenty of non-white roles portrayed by white actors. Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra, Ben Afleck played Tony Mendez, a CIA agent of Hispanic decent, in "Argo," Jake Gyllenhaal plays a Persian prince in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" and Jennifer Lawrence plays Katniss Everdeen in the "Hunger Games." while in the books Katniss is described as non-white with dark, olive skin. The list goes on and on
- people are being extremely hypocritical over the fact that there is a "black Annie," but when roles are reversed and ethnic roles are played by white actors, people turn a blind eye.
People need to get over the fact that Annie is not going to be white, and that Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks will not be a white - he is renamed in the 2014 film as Benjamin Stacks, played by Jamie Foxx. "Annie" is taking a new direction and breaking traditional standards, hopefully giving future filmmakers a reason to take risks and use actors for their talent and not just their looks. Honestly, I've never had an interest in watching "Annie," but after seeing the trailer I'm excited to watch the new film this Christmas, not because of the color of her skin, but because Wallis' acting ability is simply perfection, and I know she is going to kill it as the "new Annie."

Workout class offers interval style training
Stephen Opskar
HALLIE HOLTON entertain@kansan.com
KU Recreation Services offer a variety of different fitness classes to students regularly throughout the week. One of these classes is called HIIT, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training.
This class is different from many other fitness classes offered through the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. Each HIIT class is a 45-minute workout period that consists of timed circuit workouts that are of very high and then very low intensity periods.
inse 45 minutes may seem short, but you will be working every part of your body within this time period. These workouts are designed to raise your heart rate quickly for a short period of time. There are short rest periods and then you work to build your heart rate back up.
Regular HITT class attendee Meghan Saravanja, a freshman from Junction City, describes the class as "a 45-minute power workout which uses interval style training and constant motion to get you both a cardio workout along with strength building."
"The idea is that with interval training you actually burn more calories than you do during a long steady state cardio session." Stephen Opskar, HIIT instructor, said.
HIIT is a unique class that is offered in that it is not set to a particular routine. The class is set up to be more boot camp style.
"This means that you are not all doing each rep together, you are working at your own pace trying to get it done as fast as you can,"
Opskar said.
This type of workout might be more appealing to people who don't like the rush of trying to understand a choreographed routine quickly. This class allows you to push yourself to your limit.
Paige Lueker, a freshman from Junction City, also takes the HIIT class on a regular basis.
"My favorite thing about HIIT is instead of spending an hour to an hour and a half at the gym making sure you get cardio and strength training in, you can get it all in 45 minutes," Lueker said.
HIIT equals workout efficiency at its finest.
HITT class is offered Mondays from 2:30-3:15, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-1:45, Thursdays from 7:30 p.m.-8:15 p.m., and then Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 3:00-3:45.
To attend regularly, a KU Fit pass is required but to try out the class it's a $3 fee when you arrive.

Mark Wahlberg, a cast member in the upcoming film "Transformers: Age of Extinction," talks about the movie at the Opening Night Presentation from Paramount Pictures at CinemaCon 2014 on March 24.
Wahlberg guarantees a hit with 'Transformers'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Mark Wahlberg, star of the upcoming "Transformers: Age of Extinction," is promising the fourth installment of the Michael Bay-directed franchise will be a huge hit.
Paramount Vice Chairman Rob Moore said Bay was hesitant to return to the franchise until they were able to zero in on the right story and cast that would capture his imagination.
"For moviegoers all over the world, I guarantee this will take it up a notch," Wahlberg said Monday at the annual movie-theater convention CinemaCon.
"Michael promised me it would be a very different, stand-alone movie, which it absolutely is," said Wahlberg. "It is bigger and better than the other three (films) combined. This will be the biggest movie of 2014."
In the action film, Wahlberg, who reteams with Bay after last year's "Pain and Gain," plays Cade Yeager, an automobile mechanic who discovers a rundown truck, which is really a transformer. Soon, he's the target of Autobots, Decepticons and the government.
With a series of "Transformers" films, which featured a consistent cast including Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel
and Tyrese Gibson, Wahlberg admitted he's feeling the pressure of stepping into the shoes of the other actors.
But he says he "had to jump at the opportunity because I really feel like it is probably the most iconic franchise in movie history."

film.
Wahlberg was joined on stage by his co-stars and CinemaCon Rising Stars award recipients Nicola Peltz, who plays his daughter, Tessa Yeager, and Jack Reynor, who portrays Tessa's boyfriend, Shane. But the surprise guest was Wahlberg's 10-year-old daughter, Ella, who is not in the film, but accompanied her dad to Vegas.
"This is (Ella's) first time in Vegas and hopefully her last," Wahlberg joked. The actor flexes his protective daddy disposition in the upcoming action film as well. His Cade comically nags daughter Tessa about her tiny shorts and the boyfriend he didn't know she had, offering a glimpse into the humor of the new
Though Bay was expected to attend CinemaCon to also plug "Age of Extinction," Wahlberg says the filmmaker was confined to the edit bay to finalize the film's special effects. Or could he have been afraid of another teleprompter mishap?
He wanted me to make sure that you all understand that the effects are temp," added Wahlberg of the extended preview shown to the industry crowd.
Unfinished or not, the impressive footage, including bigger, more powerful robots, sharper battle scenes and a fresh crop of good-looking movie stars, could be just the thing to drive home Wahlberg's No. 1 film prediction and cap Bay's massively successful series, which together have grossed over $2.6 billion.
"Transformers: Age of Extinction is due June 27.

Kansas to take on Wichita State in last non-conference game
Kansas softball (24-10) ends its eight-game road span with a game against in-state opponent Wichita State (18-11) today, with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. in Wichita. The Jayhawks lead the all-time series with the Shockers 69-17.
Kansas is coming off of a win against eighth ranked Kentucky going into the matchup. Another motivator for Kansas against the Shockers is that for the third straight week a Kansas player has been honored by the Big 12 conference. This week, freshman catcher Harli Ridling was named Big 12 Player of the Week for her efforts. She led the team with a .480 batting average on 12 hits, half of
Wichita State has won its last three games and five of their past seven. They also have recorded 34 stolen bases on 41 attempts. The Shockers' star slugger freshman utility Paige Luellen has a 411 batting average and has cranked out eight doubles, one triple and six home runs this season, along with 32 RBs and 22 runs scored.
which went for extra bases. She hit four home runs, two doubles and 11 RBs.
The matchup between Kansas and Wichita State is the last non-conference contest for the Jayhawks before opening conference play against Oklahoma State this weekend at home in Arrocha Ballpark.

WOMEN'S GOLF

sports@kansan.com
This is the performance coach Erin O'Neill has been looking for out of her Kansas women's golf team all season.
On Tuesday afternoon, Kansas golf, led by Yupaporn Kawinpakorn and Anthurtta Boinraksasat, placed seventh out of 17 teams at Briar's Creek International in John Island, S.C.
Kawinpakorn led the jayhawks with her 15th placing, shooting 223 (+7) over three rounds, including an even 72 on her final round, while Boonraksasat followed closely behind in 18th with a 224 (+8).
At Briar's Creek, Kansas finished in 908 strokes (+39), which was just 15 strokes behind the winner Texas Tech. Texas Tech shot the three rounds in 888 strokes, 24 shots above par.
"I'm very pleased with how we played today," O'Neill said. "I think we are close to putting some really low scores together as a team."
O'Neill was delighted by the effort's the athletes gave her.
Those low scores included
final round of 294 (+6), which, according to a news release from KU Athletics, was a tie for the fourth lowest team score for the tournament.
Despite the encouraging signs from the athletes on Tuesday, O'Neill is always looking for things to build on. When asked about areas for improvement, O'Neill didn't hesitate to address the "little things."
"Overall we need to continue to improve our course management along with our putting. We had a few too many three-putts," O'Neill said.
Even on a course that spanned 6,120 yards, in the game of golf, it is often the small details like the chips and putts that make the biggest difference between bogeys and birdies. The Jayhawks will look to trim those three-putts down to two-putts on April 4-6, when they travel to Dallas for the SMU Invitational. Until then, it is time to hit the putting greens for practice.

Stanford was a 10 seed, but didn't have a single under-classman in its starting lineup. Some will say that a lower seed beating the number two seed was an upset. In all reality, the more experienced team won, which means it wasn't an
Kansas was 3-4 in March. Fans should have seen this coming.
In order for Kansas to have had a similar postseason experience as past championships, the Jayhawks needed to peak at the right time. The inexperienced Jayhawks peaked too early in the season and couldn't overcome the absence of Joel Embiid, therefore eliciting the inevitable early loss in the tournament.

Pistorius expected to testify at his murder trial this week
INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius will probably testify at his trial later this week, a defense attorney said Tuesday after prosecutors rested their case against the double-amputee runner who is accused of murder in his girlfriend's death.
In a rare public comment, Pistorius said he was going through "a tough time" as the case advanced.
Oscar Pistorius and his aunt Lois Pistorius, right, hug after the prosecution closed its case in court in Pretoria, South Africa, Tuesday, March 25. Pistorius is charged with the Valentines Day 2013 shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The trial will resume Friday.
"We've got a lot ahead of us," he told reporters after the court adjourned.
Defense lawyer Brian Webber said Pistorius is "likely" to take the stand to open the defense case.
I don't think we have a choice. It's a question of when," Webber said of Pistorius' testimony, which legal experts describe as critical because the judge will have a chance to assess firsthand whether he is credible. The case will be decided by Judge Thokozile Masipa with help from two assessors. South African courts do not have a jury system.
After the prosecution rested, defense lawyer Barry Roux asked for time to consult some of the 107 state witnesses who had not testified against Pistorius, who admits shooting Reeva Steenkamp through the closed door of a toilet cubicle last year.
Masipa adjourned the trial until Friday so Roux could prepare his arguments that Pistorius killed the 29-year-old model by accident, thinking she was an intruder in his home.
Pistorius has sometimes reacted emotionally in the courtroom. He shed tears this week during testimony about text messages that he and Steenkamp exchanged in the weeks before her death on Feb. 14, 2013. In earlier testimony, he retched and vomited at a pathologist's description of Steenkamp's gunshot wounds. At other times, he has appeared calm, taking notes during testimony and conferring with his lawyers during breaks.
the 27-year-old Olympian once basked in global publicity stemming from his achievements on the track but became an almost silent, somewhat cryptic figure after Steenkamp's death, his account only outlined in legal statements that were carefully tailored by his high-powered legal team.
Earlier Tuesday, Roux sought to show that Pistorius had a loving relationship with his girlfriend, referring to telephone messages in which
they exchanged warm compliments and said they missed each other.
couple's mobile devices. Roux noted a Jan. 19 exchange in which Reeva sent Pistorius a photo of herself in a hoodie and making a kissing face and asked, "You like it?"
The testimony contrasted with several messages read in court a day earlier in which Pistorius and Steenkamp argued, part of the prosecution's
"I love it," Pistorius said, according to the message.
"I don't think we have a choice (to testify). It's a question of when."

Roux was also granted permission to show video broadcast by Sky News that showed Pistorius and Steenkamp kissing in a convenience store.
"So warm," Steenkamp responded.
effort to demonstrate that the athlete killed his girlfriend after an intense disagreement. In those messages, Steenkamp told the runner that she was sometimes scared by his behavior, which included jealous outbursts in front of other people.
Roux noted that the tense messages amounted to a tiny fraction of the roughly 1,700 texts that police Capt. Francois Moller, a cellphone expert, extracted from the
Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned the relevance of the store video, saying he could ask for a courtroom viewing of another video, also broadcast by Sky News, which shows Pistorius at a gun range, firing a shotgun
and using a pistol to shoot a watermelon, which bursts on impact.
Nel also said many messages of affection between the couple were brief, in contrast to the texted arguments, which were far longer and dwelled on their relationship in greater depth.
Earlier, Moller said Steenkamp connected to the Internet on her cellphone hours before Pistorius killed her. She made the connection just before 9 p.m. on Feb. 13, 2013, and the connection lasted for more than 11 hours, possibly because social media programs were still open.
Moller's extraction of data also shed light on what appeared to be frantic calls made from one of Pistorius' cellphones after the killing. They included a call to the administrator of the housing estate where Pistorius lived at 3:19 a.m. on Feb. 14, a call a minute later to an ambulance service and a call a minute after that to the housing estate security.

THE MORNING BREW
March Madness begins with a weekend of thrilling upsets
Every year, millions of people take to ESPN.com to fill out their March Madness brackets. Which underdog team will peak at the right time? Which top team will crumble in the early rounds? And who will reign supreme as the national champion? Usually the average person goes a couple of rounds before their bracket takes a turn for the worst. This year however, your bracket was most likely fried by sundown in the first round. March Madness is in full swing this year, and no top seed is safe.
So far in the tournament, there have already been thirteen games in which a lower-seeded team has beaten a higher-seeded team and it all started with the very first matchup of the tournament
When Dayton went on to stun sixth-seeded Ohio State, you could feel the excitement in the air. March Madness was officially here and in full swing. The next shocking exit came when Harvard was able to hold off fifth-seeded Cincinnati. And as North

could sense that this year was going to be like no other. Many fans woke up Friday with brackets already busted. After one of the craziest days in tournament history, no one was prepared for what would be the most shocking exit thus far. As Mercer danced its way to a 78-71 victory over third-seeded Duke, you could hear the sound of brackets shattering all over the country. People are still trying to figure out how this little school that few people have heard of prevailed over one of the most experienced NCAA tournament teams of all time. But it happened. Other upsets of the day included Stanford over New Mexico, Tennessee over UMass and SF Austin over VCU.
and Dayton were going down to the wire in Buffalo, NY. And as Tyler Ennis's last second three-point jumper bounced off the rim, giving Dayton their second upset of the tourney, there seemed to be nothing more that could possibly phase college basketball fans. The other big upset of the day came from University of Connecticut (UConn), who sent second-seeded Villanova home with an eleven-point victory.
Enter the round of 32. It became clear that the madness showed no signs of slowing down as Syracuse

Day two of the second round started off with none other than an upset when second-seeded Kansas just couldn't get a handle on a hot Stanford team. The undefeated and controversial Wichita State Shockers were sent packing when eighth-seeded Kentucky proved to be too much down the stretch. And finally, the last upset of the day came from Baylor who easily handled Doug McDermott and

Creighton with a 30 point win. If we've learned anything from these past few days, it's that the name "March Madness" is not just a clever allit- eration. Every team that is thrown into this tournament truly believes that it can beat anybody and no one is
going to hand you an easy first-round victory because you think you deserve it. The beauty of sports, and March Madness in particular, is that anything can and will happen. We can only imagine what the rest of the tournament will have in store.

Edwards hit a jumper and Taylor drove for a layup, giving the Lady Lions a 15-point lead to start the second half and force Florida into a timeout.
Lucas soon hit her third 3-pointer of the game and her fourth was a big one that put them up 56-36. Lucas, PSU's emotional leader, pumped her first and directed an exuberant shout toward the fans.
She swished a free throw early in the second half for her 2,500th career point.
Lucas also picked up her fourth foul with 7.50 left in the game and the Lady Lions ahead by 16. She took a seat for about three minutes. She could have sat out the rest of the game. Coach Coquese Washington rested against the scorer's table for a good look at the touching finishes of the rout.
Lucas got her due in her final home game, leaving for the final time to a standing ovation. She clapped her hands, waved her arms and pointed to the fans before hugging her teammates.
with a 17-0 run, the Lady Lions used an early 11-0 spurt to build a lead they would never surrender.

Kansas reached peak too early
H history has shown teams that peak at the right time in
UConn ultimately won five straight nights in Madison Square Garden, four of the five wins came against AP Top 25 teams, and received a number three seed in the NCAA Tournament.
By Blair Sheade sports@kansan.com
The 2011 UConn Huskies were 21-9 and entered the Big East Conference Tournament as a nine seed. The Huskies needed a Big East Tournament Championship to receive an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
March are ultimately the team that wins in the NCAA tournament. For instance, the 2011 University of Connecticut Huskies.
The Huskies continued their run in the tournament and found themselves playing for the national championship against number eight seed Butler. The 2011 National Championship game was the worst shooting contest ever in tournament history. Both teams combined for 31 made-baskets, and UConn defeated Butler 53-41.
The .500 record in the conference tournament started a Kansas trend of winning every other game in March with a 2-3 record looking into the NCAA Tournament.
That trend continued on into the tournament. Kansas defeated Eastern Kentucky after coming back from a
The conference tournament started strong with a win in the rubber match against Oklahoma State, but couldn't follow up the win and Kansas was stomped by Iowa State in the semifinals.
THE BREW THE BREW
UConn finished the season winning 11 straight games, and they didn't do it by coincidence. The Huskies' starting lineup consisted of one sophomore and three freshmen, and was led by experienced junior point guard Kemba Walker, who averaged 23 points per game during the postseason.
SEE NCAA PAGE 8
The Jayhawks started March with a loss at Stillwater against Oklahoma State by giving up a double-digit lead with less than 10 minutes left.
Then, Kansas defeated Texas Tech at home for senior night by 28 points, but then fell to West Virginia in Morgantown by six. The loss to the Mountaineers gave Kansas a 1-2 record prior to the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
The 2013-14 Kansas Jayhawks had a similar roster to the 2011 Huskies. The consistent starting lineup included one junior point guard (Tharpe), one sophomore (Ellis) and three freshmen (Wiggins, Selden, Embiid) — even though Embiid only played one game in March.
With all this in mind, let's look back at this March's Jayhawks and see if an early exit from the NCAA tournament was inevitable because Kansas didn't peak at the right time.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Selden will return for sophomore year
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com
As many speculate the futures of Kansas's star freshmen, guard Wayne Selden was the first to make a move.
Two days after Kansas lost to Stanford in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, Selden announced on his Twitter account Tuesday that he will return to Lawrence for his sophomore season.
"Want to let layhawk Nation know, I will be returning for my sophomore season!" Selden said on Twitter. "Can't wait to get to work & get back in the fieldhouse."
Selden's tweet has since been deleted, but Kansas coach Bill Self confirmed that he will not declare for the NBA Draft.
Named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention, the Roxbury, Mass., native averaged 9.7 points and 29.2 minutes per game regular and post-season. Selden began conference play averaging 22 points in his first two games but became highly inconsistent, breaking the 20-point mark only one time the rest of the season. He was almost nonexistent in the NCAA Tournament, averaging two points and 23.5 minutes.
Selden started every game for the Jayhawks this season. With freshmen Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid likely leaving for the NBA, Selden should take on a bigger role in the offense next season. He is ranked among the top three
on the team in points, assists,
field goals made and 3-point
field goals made.
The No. 12 recruit in the Class of 2013 according to rivals.com, Selden averaged a double-double (24.8 points and 10.1 rebounds) at the Tilton School in New Hampshire during his senior year. He is one of three high school McDonald's All-Americans to play for Kansas this season, along with Wiggins and sophomore Perry Ellis.
One of the best on-ball defenders on the team, Selden drew tough assignments, guarding players like Marcus Smart (Oklahoma State) and Brady Heslip (Baylor) throughout the year.
His best game on the offensive end came in the team's conference opener against Oklahoma when he scored a season-high 24 points and went 5-10 from long-range.

Selden, with an ideal size for an NBA guard at 6-foot-5, was a projected first round pick in many NBA mock drafts. Matt Moore, an NBA writer for CBS Sports, projected him to be the 21st overall pick. However, his stock took a dip toward the end of the season due to his inconsistent play.
Wiggins and Embiid are projected top three picks in the draft while Ellis has also been mentioned as a potential pick in the second round. No timetable has been set for their announcements.

It's been four years and tour meetings since the last time the Jayhawks escaped Omaha with a victory.
Three years, 11 months and 19 days to be exact. April 7, 2010 was the last time Kansas baseball defeated the Creighton Bluejays.

Junior outfielder Michael Suiter throws the ball to homeplate during Kansas' game against Oral Roberts on March 11. Suiter is batting .330 this season.
"It time to stop the bleeding," Coach Ritch Price said: "We beat them the first few years I was here and now we can't beat them. We only play them once a year, so it's hard. If we played more, wed find a way to take care of business, but it's time we find a way to get a stop."
Kansas will be heading to Omaha Wednesday, as they take on the Creighton Bluejays in a mid-week matchup.
The Bluejays lead the Jayhawks 22-11 in the all time series, but the two teams have each won five matchups under Ritch Price. Both sides have won two out of their last three games and have had strong starts to their seasons.
Creighton has posted a team batting average of .249 this season with eight of their 161 hits being home runs. To contrast, the Jayhawks as a team are hitting .301 and have hit 11 long balls of their 252 hits this season. Both pitching staffs are sporting mid-three ERAs with Kansas having the

slight edge, 3.44 to 3.61.
Junior right-hander Drew Morovick will get the start for the Jayhawks. Morovick is 4-1 on the season and has a 3.98 ERA.
Sophomore right-hander Taylor Elman will likely get the start for Creighton on Wednesday. Elman is 1-1 on the season and has given up 15 runs in his 23 innings of work thus far.
"I'm going to have to attack," Morovick said. "The last two years I've faced them and they've been very aggressive.
"Drew will not be limited Tuesday," Price said. "If he's effective, we'll ride him seven or eight, if not we have guys ready to come in."
Morovick picked up the win Saturday against Dartmouth in 2.1 innings of work. He allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks in his work.
"We emphasized doing a better job with two strikes this fall," Price said. "Hitting with two outs is kind of a byproduct of that. We've been using the whole field."
Kansas has thrived this season with two outs. Its batting average with two men down matches their season average at .301. These hits have been productive as well, as they have driven in 66 runs in their 101 hits.
Junior left fielder Michael Suiter will look to carry over success from the Dartmouth series, as he batted .538 while driving in three runs and scoring four times.
"I've got some pretty good confidence going right now"
"Suiter's one of the best offensive guys we've got," Price said. "He's really starting to come into his own.
Suiter ranks second in the Big 12 in runs scored with 26 on the season.
Sophomore second baseman Colby Wright got the start all three games against Dartmouth. Wright was inserted into the lineup to relieve struggling sophomore Tommy Mirabelli. Wright batted .308 on the weekend and scored six runs from the two spot in the batting order.
Suiter explained.
"Skip always talks about taking every day like you're a starter," Wright said. "I was
Kansas' rubber game victory against Texas.
The Jayhawks have been able to find success from everyone this season. Whoever they seem to play contributes to the team's success. They have received production from far more than just the nine starters.
Freshman backup catcher Michael Tinsley is batting .353 in 34 at bats this season with seven RBIs and three extra base hits. Sophomore utility infielder Ryan Pidahchuk is batting .320 in 25 at bats with nine RBIs and three extra base hits as well including a rally starting double in

they're good players," Price said. "They've all had some great at-bats. When guys struggle, there is always someone else to take their place."
If Kansas is to beat Creighton for the first time in nearly four years, it's going to take contributions from everyone, not just the nine men in the starting lineup.
"We want to beat them," Wright said. "We've been joking with (Tucker) Tharp and (Frank) Duncan about their class not being able to, and we're ready for that to change."

Parking tickets are common occurrences for students who misunderstand the parking restrictions on campus.
KU Parking launches parking ticket forgiveness quiz
AMELIA ARVESEN news@kansan.com
Even with one parking ticket, it's now possible for students to keep a perfect record with the launch of the Parking Ticket Forgiveness Quiz earlier this week.
Within 10 business days of receiving a first-time parking ticket, students now have the chance to clear their names with an online quiz of 20 multiple choice questions. After completion, the quiz is sent to KU Parking & Transit for review within five business days.
"It's an extension of our appeal process that makes it a more positive interaction,"
said Margretta de Vries, an administrative professional with KU Parking & Transit. "We're often viewed as the bad guys on campus."
Parking ticket forgiveness only applies to a first offense, while the appeal process is available for anybody for any citation within 10 days of receiving a ticket.
Last year, 33,990 parking tickets were issued, totaling $818,665. de Vries said the quiz was designed to teach students how to park on campus to prevent future tickets.
It's intended to be educational and interactive, keeping students up-to-date on parking rules and regulations across campus. Even students not
issued tickets are encouraged to brush up on their knowledge.
The quiz covers all topics regarding parking, but only Group 1 violations are eligible
nearty every question offers a hint with a hyperlink directing users to the related section of the rules and regulations with the correct answer. Questions

It takes about 20 minutes, and

"A lot of frustration is due

to a lack of knowledge about parking options that exist," said Sarah Coughlan, an administrative assistant with KU Parking & Transit. "The questions will give people the opportunity to familiarize themselves with our website and learn more."
de Vries said she doesn't know how many tickets might be canceled yet, because the focus has been on the educational and functional aspects of the quiz instead.
Parking Ticket Forgiveness was originally an Ad Astra platform last year, and a current initiative of Student Senate Members worked closely with the parking and technology departments.
Chancellor addresses master plan, athletics fee, grad student insurance
"We were pleased to work with KU student leaders and KU Parking & Transit on this student-initiated project," said Bob Lim, chief information officer. "These types of collaborative projects between student government and University departments show KU's commitment to a welcoming campus environment for students."
As of Wednesday, five people have taken the quiz since it was added to Parking's appeal page on March 14. To take the quiz yourself and learn more about parking rules and regulations, visit www.parkingku.edu/ appeals.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discussed a number of University-related issues on Wednesday, including the the master plan, the student athletic fee and the budget.
THE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN
The fifth master plan was unveiled on March 14, which includes projects to improve and expand science buildings and enhance the beauty of campus over the next decade.
school building renovations and renovations to Jayhawk Boulevard. They are also planning to build an energy and environment center.
"The excitement is that it has all these possibilities, but the challenge is how to get there and how to get the resources to get there," Gray-Little said.
STUDENT ATHLETIC FEE
The University has already started implementing the plan with the construction of new student housing, the business
The fee currently gives Athletics around $1.2 million a year, but Gray-Little said it's hard to determine how much
of this amount Athletics is receiving directly, because the department is also paying for the recreation center expansion.
She said the fee originated in a series of agreements made between the athletics department, the student body and previous chancellors to target things like student recreation center payments, athletic tickets and support for student athletes.
"The excitement is that it has all these possibilities, but the challenge is how to get there and how to get the resources to get there."
Earlier in the week, Gray-Little received the Student Senate resolution to cut the student athletic fee. She plans to review the proposal and respond in the near future.
BERNADETTE GRAY-LITTLE Chancellor
"I'll take into consideration the contractual agreements that Student Senate had with Athletics for sure, and the rec center expansion and things like that," Gray-Little said.

are currently working to pass a budget that the chancellor expects would restore some of the salary cuts made in 2013. However, the chancellor does not believe that the federal FICA refund will be returned. The refund, which comes from paying unnecessary social security tax from previous years, would have been used to help build a new medical building at the KU Medical Center.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed several issues on Wednesday, including the campus master plan and the student athletic fee.
"Generally there has been an unwillingness [in the senate] to return the FICA money, which would be really critical to getting that done," Gray-Little said.
In addition, funding for a translational chemical biology institute, which was recommended by the governor as the University's major project that would contribute
scientifically and economically to the community, does not have much support, but the University is working to prove the project's importance.
"The TCBI is exactly the kind of project and effort that we are being encouraged to do, where you have work that is research
that also has the potential for economic benefit for the area," Gray-Little said.

STUDENT SENATE Coalition referendum discussion continues
The Student Rights and University Affairs committees of Student Senate voted for the creation of a new bill on Wednesday night regarding the coalition referendum introduced in the last full meeting before break.
If passed on the floor, the referendum would be included on this year's ballot, giving students a chance to voice what they think about the current coalition system based on the question. "Should coalitions be prohibited from forming and campaigning for Student Senate elections?"
"I can say that there are students put off by Student Senate because of coalitions," said Marcus Tetwiler, student body president.
He said including the referendum on the ballot may lead to a greater voting participation from students in the election looking to provide input.
During the discussion in the Student Rights Committee, the
question was raised whether the wording of the petition would be considered non-binding or binding. If binding, this means the 2014-2015 Student Senate would be forced to create a bill based off the results of the student vote. Tetwiler was hesitant to refer to it as a binding referendum.
He interpreted the wording as non-binding, and said he wants students' answers to be considered as data collection for the future senate's use rather than something that calls for direct action.
A University Affairs committee member asked whether the third option "other" would be included on the ballot to allow students to provide comments.
"A clear set in stone yes and no is more effective, but that's my opinion," Tetwier said. "It makes it more clear to hone in on data."
The conversation is slated to continue in next week's full student senate meeting.

STATE SENATE Kansas House rejects plan for energy rules
TOPEKA — A measure to repeal the state's 2009 renewable energy standards for power generation was rejected Wednesday in the Kansas House despite critics who argued the requirements drive up utility bills and unfairly push one industry over another.
The 77-42 vote was one of two procedural votes to reject the measure that was approved 25-15 by the Senate on Tuesday. The bill had the backing of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and small-government groups who oppose government mandates.
The standards require utility companies to provide 20 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. They were put in place in 2009 when
legislators allowed the construction of a coal-fired power plant in southwest Kansas as part of a trade-off struck by then-Gov. Mark Parkinson and power plant supporters. The plant has been stalled by legal and regulatory challenges and is yet to be constructed near an existing plant in Holcomb.
Critics argued Wednesday that the energy standards are unnecessary and lead to higher utility rates, as much as 22 percent since the standards were put in place.
"I support wind energy. What I don't support is the mandate," said Randy Garber, a Sabetha Republican who made the motion to agree with the repeal. "I support choice, free choice."
Supporters say the standards promote economic growth.

KEVIN HUNDELT
His mom is a social worker with Catholic nonprofits. He said his parents have been role models throughout his life, teaching him to stay humble and work hard.
Kevin Hundelt calls himself a momma's boy.
Hundelt, a junior from St. Louis, wants to guide Student Senate to realization change. He said he sees too much argument between senators for too little progress, and wants to guide Senate to focus on the student body.
"Sometimes, how we argue can be a little pedantic," he said.
Hundelt want to host workshops to help senators collaborate.
"There are some egos in Student Senate," he said. "What I could do is be an example of what everyone could be."
Hundelt has loved being involved with Senate from his first experience. At his first Student Rights committee meeting, he watched a heated debate to prevent a revision that would have allowed officials to enter dormitory rooms without the resident's consent or a warrant.
He remembers being inspired by how passionate senators are about defending students' best interests.
After graduation, Hundelt wants to work in urban planning in his home city. He wants to help the community in St. Louis at a structural level.
Hundelt wants to be the voice of students, trying to work for their best interests by putting himself in others' shoes. He asks himself how a proposal would benefit average students.
"Those people in St. Louis deserve better," he said. "It's wrong that they don't have the high quality of life that I had in the suburbs."

Sara Anees' father is a traditional Pakistani man: quiet and reserved. It's hard for her to hear about her father's struggles against discrimination when he chose to attend college in the United States.
SARA ANEES
"That makes me treasure what it is I have here so much more," Anees said about her time at the University.
When she meets international students on campus, she can't help but associate their struggles with her father's.
Anees, a junior from Wichita, wants to bring changes to campus that will impact people who she said haven't really had a voice in Student Senate.
As a Pakistani-American, Anees said she doesn't meet many other student senators who are Muslim. She wants to establish reflection rooms on campus where anyone can relieve stress and Muslim students can pray throughout the day.
"Especially for students like me who have to pray five times a day and can't because it's structurally impossible — unless you want to pray in the hallway — (reflection rooms) would be really useful," she said. "It's hard because you don't want to ask for those types of things."
Anes got involved in Senate hoping to make a difference in students' lives.
"Student Senate helped me to get a large perspective on what students do here," she said.
She admires student organizations like the Sailing Club and the Tightrope Walking Club. Anees was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in eighth grade. There are cold days when she wakes up and her body is tense and sore, but she fights through how hard it is to move. She said this makes her appreciate how much work students put into perfecting skills like tightrope walking.
"I've had a different background," Anees said. "Because of that, I've had to open my eyes and see how other people live."

"My hopes have to do with the response, rather than the document itself — that is, we are able to get to a document that satisfies the Regents and also the members of the University communities," Gray-Little said.
The final policy will be recommended to the Board on April 16.
INSURING GRADUATE STUDENTS
An issue that has recently become a topic of concern and discussion for the administration and graduate students is the Affordable Care Act's provision that employees who work over 30 hours a week must be insured by their employer. Due to graduate students' concerns that there will be a reduction in the number of hours they are allowed to work and University concerns about cost, administrators have begun talking about a solution.
"We are looking at what are the consequences of the Affordable Care Act provisions and how it will affect graduate students and how will it affect the University and how can we get to a point that is not harmful to the graduate students," Gray-Little said.

Digital news cuts cost of paper publishing
I grew up convinced that words were at their most powerful when printed on paper. A good chunk of journalism and English students likewise hold onto this bizarre love for the printed word. As much as it pains me to say so, the physical newspaper's time is running short.
There are some truly ludicrous statistics when it comes to paper consumption. For instance, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agnecy, the average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of copy paper per year.I won't bother you with a scolding list of facts you already feel guilty about, but the need to reduce our paper consumption moved out of
the realm of "should we?" to "Well, I guess we should," a long time ago.
The biggest offender is the newspaper. It's not necessarily that it uses the most paper, dumps huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere or adds to the demand to tear down the Amazon rainforest.' The problem with newspapers is in the name.' The standard for newspapers is that they have a paper copy.
Why is the paper copy necessary? What purpose does the paper copy serve that an online edition doesn't? It's another simple case of "It's what we've always done."

Aside from all of the environmental nonsense that newspapers contribute
to, the structure of news organizations is based on the pressure to release a condensed, daily edition.
That "inverted pyramid" setup, where the most important information comes first, can be better used online where space isn't an issue. Content will be less about word counts and more about content because the newspaper isn't paying a premium on space.
Online news is quicker, cheaper for both producers
and consumers, and shifts the structure of news to be more fluid and manageable. So newspapers, what gives?
The only genuine problem with going digital is that it further marginalizes those without access to the Internet. As the United Nations has affirmed on multiple occasions that Internet access is a human right, the argument shouldn't be that we remain with newspapers as long as we possibly can, but instead work to spread Internet access as far as we can. All other arguments are bunk.
Strangely, an argument against digital news that kept popping up was that power outages and natural disasters completely prevent you from accessing your content. But if
an EMP — electromagnetic pulse — has been detonated in low earth orbit or a tornado is threatening to turn my house upside down, my main concern won't be whether or not I can do some light reading.
The biggest challenge facing the transition to online news isn't logistical or practical, it's the notion that printed paper is the standard or somehow more legitimate.
The mantra needs to change from "I want to see my name in print" to "I want my words to reach people" before we can begin to work on all the environmental hullabaloo.

Living with all guys isn't as 'adorkable' as you'd think
As a small girl who can sometimes be socially inept, the comparisons to Zooey Deschanel's character Jessica Day on the Fox show "New Girl" are not new to me, though they started waning after I grew out my bangs. This semester, however, the obvious similarities between Jess' life and my own have grown at an alarming rate. No, I haven't had an influx of dresses with cats on them, started wearing horn-rimmed glasses or bought a phone case in the shape of a bunny. I'm in no way any more adorable than I was in December; I've just moved in with three dudes
Maybe it's because Jess, Nick, Winston and Schmidt are all actual adults living together, whereas my roommates and I are essentially fresh-out-of-high-school babies, but my living experience has greatly differed in some respects from Jess'. I love my living arrangement and am generally happy with my roommates. Sure, we get on each other's nerves, but that goes with the territory of living with other human beings. I thought Jess had adequately prepared me for the quirky scenarios that come from being the only girl, but there are a few unglamorous things I was left to find out on my own.
I'll start with the most painful adjustment:
By Helena Buchmann opinion@kansan.com
pooping. I know that everybody poops; my mom read me the book. But growing up, I didn't poop at school, friends' houses, or anywhere public. It's smelly and awkward timing-wise, and because of those two factors, everyone knows that you've pooped. All of that combined was just too much for me to handle. Even in the dorms last semester, it took me a little while to be truly down to dookie in the communal bathrooms.
Jess shares a bathroom with all of these guys and somehow pooping is never addressed. First of all, poop jokes are always funny, so the writers are really missing out on some prime content. More importantly, the show completely ignores an unavoidable obstacle that Jess surely had to face. It really isn't that big of a deal — all of my roommates just have a nervous laugh when I exit the bathroom after a while and sometimes I get called Poops With Wolves or Stinky — but it's a hump I had to get over all the same. I'm sure most ladies understand the small amount of anxiety I had, especially given that one of these roommates happens to be my boyfriend.
We're all friends here at The Shire (all of us are relatively small people, kind of like Hobbits,
hence our apartment's nickname), but there are times when a Jess needs a Cece and having a Winston just won't do. My Cece goes to K-State and I'm in the market for another one, so if anyone needs a Jess, please hit a sister up. Everyone has that annoying girl in their lives who says she just gets along better with guys than girls, and that all of her best friends are guys. I am that girl. At least, I was.
I didn't realize how instrumental Cece is in maintaining less' sanity. Again, I love my living situation and have very little to complain about, but I can't deny that it would be nice to have someone to sing Beyonce with every once in a while. The guys and I agree on many things, but they just don't understand things like my need to sometimes change my outfits a few times before going out or my love for BB cream.
Living with three guys isn't as quirky and adorkable as Jess and the rest of the "New Girl" gang would make it out to be, but hopefully I'll carry away some life lessons like Jess does. If not, I'll always have Poops With Wolves.

From our ancestors' fossil records, modern researchers have noted our bodies are built for endurance running. Beginning with australopithecus, the human form started adapting to run long distances to hunt prey. "We are arguing the emergence of humans is tied to the evolution of running," said Dennis Bramble, a biology professor at the University of Utah told National Geographic. Though an antelope might be able to run much faster, a human can out endure the mammal. Once the antelope stopped sprinting, our ancestors went in for the kill. Nowadays, we don't need to literally run down our meals. But running still provides numerous health benefits.
Compared to other sports, running can be done virtually anywhere. Lawrence is home to many trails both in town and around Clinton Lake. No pool pass or gym membership required. Also, aside from a new pair of shoes on occasion, running is much more economical than other sports. While on a road run, one can also see the city from

Running also provides one of the highest calorie burns in comparison to other exercise equipment. According to the Medical College of Wisconsin and the VA Medical Center, the treadmill burns an average of 705-865 calories per hour, with the stair-stepper and rower in second and third at 637-746, and 606-739 respectively.
So, where should you begin? No one wants to look like a fool. One of my friend's first cross-country assignments in high school was to run for ten minutes flat, no stops. This doesn't sound too difficult, but to a beginner, it's an excellent place to start. The pace doesn't have to be fast, but uncomfortable enough that you couldn't hold a conversation. If you used to run in high school, or just this past fall, now's a great time to hit the pavement again! I hope you enjoy the benefits!

TBT: Kanye's album still holds up with audiences
Over the past 10 years Kanye West has gone from a producer fighting for a chance to break into the music industry to an international superstar. In August of 2005, West released his second album, "Late Registration."
When the album came out fans wondered if it could match the quality of his critically acclaimed debut, "College Dropout." It not only met the high expectations — some cases it exceeded them.
The production on "Late Registration" is largely the same as it was on "College Dropout,"but there's one difference that truly sets "Late Registration" apart: Kanye's use of orchestral instruments. Throughout the album, there are many string arrangements, piano chords and other instrumentation West's decision to use
orchestral instruments adds so much to many of the songs, such as the strings at the end of "Crack Music" or the bass guitar and percussion on "Roses."
West's lyrical content also improved. Before the album released, he expressed that he wanted the lyrics to be relatable to everyone. For the most part they are. Throughout the album, he touches on several topics such as his love and appreciation for his mother and a near-death experience his grandmother had.
By Ryan Wright entertain@kansan.com
Another notable thing about the album are the features. Every featured artist stepped up. The album features classic verses from Jay-Z, Nas and Lupe Fiasco, which was his first major album appearance.
touches on many topics such as feeling frustrated with his record label and his life back in Chicago. The verse is nearly nine years old and it never gets old.
West's best lyrical performance comes in the last verse of "Gone." The verse is without a doubt one of Kanye's best; everything from the content to his delivery was spot on. In the verse, he
As stated earlier, the album is almost a decade old and it holds up remarkably well. It honestly sounds like it hasn't aged a day. Even though West has recently shown distaste in "Gold Digger," that song could be released today and it'd still be a hit.
"Late Registration" is a near-perfect album. It sounds just as fresh and exciting as the day it released.

PBS has become a Sunday night ratings force with "Downton Abbey" and "Sherlock."
Big ratings gains for PBS's 'Downton Abbey,' 'Sherlock'
The most recent seasons of the British dramas were their highest-rated yet, according to final numbers released Wednesday by PBS outlet WGBH-TV.
Season 4 of "Downton" — detailing the life of a fictional aristocratic family and its servants a century ago — averaged 13.2 million total viewers, according to Nielsen — up 15 percent compared with the previous season.
"Downton" has been renewed for Season 5 via its U.K. maker, ITV, and will presumably reappear in the U.S. early in 2015. As for "Sherlock," the creators have promised more episodes, although the details haven't been officially announced yet.
Meanwhile, the third season of "Sherlock" — a modern retelling of the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur
Conan Doyle — averaged 6.6 million, for a whopping 50 percent gain compared with Season 2.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
'Enlisted's' producers strive to make peace
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Writer-producers Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce decided in 2012 to create a TV workplace comedy about the military.
Prime-time television, once home to madcap military adventures like Sgt. Bilko on "The Phil Silvers Show," "Gomer Pyle, USMC," "Hogan's Heroes" and "MASH," hadn't supported a military comedy in years.
The odds were not in their favor.
That might have been in part because the U.S. had been at war for over a decade. Maybe the Army just wasn't funny anymore.
"It's basically a workplace that is very important to America and has disappeared from television," said Royce.
"It is kind of sacred ground," Biegel said. "People were like, 'Maybe you shouldn't do that.' But for us it was the opposite. We thought, 'Of course we should.'"
The duo made their sale on the first pitch, to Fox executives who embraced the concept heartily.
"Why isn't this show on the air right now?" Jonathan Davis, president of creative affairs at 20th Century Fox, remembers asking himself. "Why isn't anyone doing this yet?"
The resulting Friday night show, "Enlisted," premiered in January. The ensemble
comedy follows a serviceman who is demoted after socking a superior officer and reassigned to lead a group of Army misfits.
Prior to "Enlisted," Biegel cocreated "Cougar Town" and wrote for "Scrubs." Royce was a producer for "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Men of a Certain Age."
The goal with "Enlisted" was "to show, just like any good workplace comedy, how these people grow and bond and how they live their lives every day in this workplace." Royce said.
Trouble was, though Biegel grew up with two brothers and a father in the armed forces,
"There were a lot of things wrong with the pilot, not done out of disrespect, but done out of not knowing."
GREG BISHOP
Advisor
neither he nor Royce had served in the military.
As a result, the pilot was sprinkled with inaccuracies. The soldiers' hair was too long. Their uniforms were not to code. They didn't salute senior officers when they should.
Leery of producing a show that was disrespectful _ "We're not trying to poke fun at the institution," Biegel said _ the "Enlisted" men reached out for
help.
After the pilot was shot, they hired Greg Bishop, an advisor at Musa Military Entertainment Consulting, who viewed the show and found it ... lacking.
"There were a lot of things wrong with the pilot, not done out of disrespect, but done out of not knowing." Bishop said. "We said, 'Wow! They could use our help.'
Bishop worked with the creators to make the show more authentic and also helped with publicity by reaching out to military members.
Changes to the show included perfecting the uniform (such as putting badges in the right place, and making sure actors wore their hats inside and outside) and helping with set details (including adding stock numbers on grease barrels that appear in the background).
It even meant putting some cast members through several days of a "mini boot camp" in El Paso. The actors stayed in barracks, wore uniforms, did basic training, and underwent surprise checks for "contraband" such as books, cellphones, laptops and candy. Some of the cast members were even shunned for not flushing their toilers.
The improvements in accuracy didn't make for a hit. The first of the season's 13 episodes averaged just 2.4 million viewers and got a weak rating of 0.7 in the advertisere desired 18-to-49 demographic.

The Old Testament recieves the Hollywood treatment in 'Noah'
I'll just write what I see. No more editing.
The image shows two people embracing each other in a close and affectionate manner. The background is blurry, suggesting an outdoor setting with rocky terrain. The lighting appears natural, indicating the photo was taken during the day.
MCGLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Big, beatific and (more or less) Biblical, Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" is a mad vision of a movie, an action/ adventure take on The Flood that cleansed the Earth.
Aronofsky ("Black Swan") envisions this epic through the lens of Hollywood, interpreting the Bible as myth and telling one of its most fantastical tales as a grand and dark cinematic fantasy _ a "Lord of the Rains."
And with Russell Crowe as his "Master and Commander" and shipbuilder, Aronofsky has concocted an accessible, modern and mythic version of this oral history that may make purists blanch even as it entertains the rest of us.
But out there, in the world begat by Cain, his descendant Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone) is offering up an alternative theology. Tubal-cain's
A prologue tells of the spawn of Cain, who spilled blood, left the Garden of Eden, populated the world and made a mess of things. Ten generations later, Noah (Crowe) and his small family (Jennifer Connolly, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth) wander the wastelands, waiting for ... a sign.
Noah's dreams tell him The End is nigh. By fire, his grandfather, Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins), wants to know?
The wicked world "which men have broken" will be flooded, the pure will rise and float above it. The rest? Drowned.
More visions, and Noah starts building an ark, first, by planting the forest that will be hewn into that ark. Stone creatures straight out of "Lord of the Rings."
"Fire consumes all," Noah prophesies. "Water cleanses."
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
violence, meat eating (Noah's people are vegetarians) and weapons are attractive to Noah's son Ham (Lerman, aka Percy jackson), who has no female companionship in their tiny circle. Shem (Booth) has the foundling they raised, Ila (Emma Watson). Ham is tempted to change sides to find a woman.
Still, animals gather and are sedated, the ark nears completion, and then the skies darken and empty.
It took guts to change Noah from the pious naval architect into a man of action, and then to cast Crowe in the part. But it works. Noah's fanatical devotion to his faith and his task make him capable of anything.
Hopkins and Watson and Connolly provide the tale's moving moments — scenes of heart and humility and hope. The acting is of the first rank, as you'd expect from a cast with three Oscar winners
and some of the brightest rising stars in film in it.
But the gutsiest move on Aronofsky's part is in the film's interpretation of this tale through modern eyes. Here is a myth that allows Creation and Evolution to live in the same film.
Effects assist the telling at every turn, but so does arresting geography.
Maybe it's a little too sci-fi (check out the costumes, the metallurgy, the pre-historic boots). It isn't "The Ten Commandments" and Crowe is no Charlton Heston. But "Noah" makes Biblical myth grand in scope and intimate in appeal. The purists can always go argue over "God Isn't Dead." The rest of creation can appreciate this rousing good yarn, told with blood and guts and brawn and beauty, with just a hint of madness to the whole enterprise.

When Lawrence's Free State Brewing Co. opened in 1989, it became the first legal brewery to open in Kansas since Prohibition. It quickly became a downtown mainstay.
Lawrence breweries to benefit from Senate bill
TOM DEHART entertain@kansan.com
Local breweries may soon be looking at looser restrictions on the amount of beer they are allowed to produce.
Senate Bill 346, which passed with a unanimous vote, aims to double the number of barrels that microbreweries are able to produce in Kansas from 15,000 to 30,000.
One of Lawrence's local microbreweries, Free State Brewing Co., might be one of the potential businesses to benefit from this increase in production.
Though the brewery currently does not reach the production cap, currently producing about 10,000 barrels a year, the raise in production limits could potentially give an incentive for the company to produce more barrels of beer and provide the ability for the
company to expand.
"It definitely gets us some room to grow," said Steve Bradt, Free State Brewing Co's master brewer and current president of Kansas Craft Brewers Guild. "We actually have quite a bit of capacity in the plant that we have now. It will require some additional equipment for us, but we have the ability to grow this plant easily to 30,000 barrels large."
With the increase in production, there also comes an increase in sales and distribution in the market.
it gets us two things: the ability to grow where we already are, and the ability to spread our footprint a little bit," Bradt said.
Bradt stated that he does not see any potential downsides to this legislation, and states that it is really intended to allow the greater growth of businesses in the state, as well as generate revenue within
the state, and bring in revenue from out of state. Despite the minimal impact that the legislation may have directly on brewpubs, local brewpubs have also stated that the legislation is beneficial.
"Anything that increases the opportunity for more businesses to come in or for current businesses to expand is certainly never a bad thing. We're definitely in favor of that," said Mike Wilk, 23rd Street Brewery manager.
Bradt said that other breweries in the state, like the Tallgrass Brewery in Manhattan, have also been concerned about the limitations on current production.
"It's one less restriction that we have to work against as we grow our businesses," Bradt said. "And that is going to be true for all of us."

NCAA makes decision easy for Embiid
By Mike Vernon sports@kansan.com
This is about college basketball, the one-and-done rule and the outdated concept of student athletes. This is about a system that will likely force Joel Embid to declare for the NBA Draft and jump-start what should be a prominent and lengthy professional basketball career.
Embiid's decision of whether or not to come back to Kansas isn't about his development as a player. His decision will, ultimately, be a result of the NCAA's college basketball system.
Since his first few weeks playing for Kansas, and since it was clear Embid's potential matched that of other suc-cessful big men of NBA's past, Kansas fans and the media have speculated that Embid could return for a sophomore season.
It would and should make sense for Embiid to come back to Kansas. After all, he's only been playing basketball for three years. His game clearly has room to grow and develop. He needs to gain strength and physicality to be deemed NBA ready. Not to mention that Embiid is still transitioning to an American lifestyle. Bill Self and other Kansas assistants, such as Norm Roberts, have talked about Embiid's lack of maturity, often sharing the story of a day Embiid ate 20 brownies with ice cream in one sitting.
Ideally, Embid would return to Kansas. He'd get paid for his talents to do so, receiving endorsement deals along with reimbursement for autographs and use of his likeness. His game would grow, and he'd grow as a person in the safe haven of Lawrence.
According to The Atlantic, Embid was worth $777,286 to the University this season before the NCAA Tournament.
This is why Embid should declare. He should take the money, all he's worth and the endorsements that come with it. His incentives to return to college are minimal compared to the millions of reasons to declare for the NBA.
Instead Embiid lives by the NCAA's rules. He can't cash in on his incredible worth, all the while showcasing his NBA talent for the world to see. If he were to return, he'd receive a valuable scholarship, sure. In between, Kansas, the NCAA and eventually the NBA will all reap profits off his enormous potential.
If Embid truly cares about his education he'll follow the path of,many former Jayhawks who have worked toward their degrees while playing in the NBA.
While Embid is stuck in a system that relies on his existence while limiting his returns, change is approaching. On Tuesday, the National Labor Relations Board ruled

Jayhawks tie hits record in blowout
HARLEY FIELD
Kansas played Creighton last night in Omaha, Neb. The Jayhawks defeated the Bluejays 11-0.
BEN FELDERSTEIN
BEN FELDERSTEIN/KANSAN
sports@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — The bleeding stopped. The wound has been cauterized. Kansas baseball escaped Omaha Wednesday night with a 11-0 victory against the Creighton Blueiaws.
"We needed to come out here and get a win," Coach Ritch Price said. "I don't know how long it's been since we've won here, but we needed to come in and dominate.
This is the first victory the Jayhawks have had against Creighton in nearly four years. Kansas is now 6-5 against the Bluejays under Price.
The Kansas offense was on fire all night. The Jayhawks scored 11 runs on 16 hits at TD Ameritrade Park. Kansas tied the ballpark record for hits in a game. That includes regular season, preseason and College World Series action.
The wind was howling and reached speeds of 30 mph at times. Kansas kept the ball on the ground for most parts of the game. They flew out only four times in the game as opposed to 13 flyouts from the Blueiavs.
"Every guy had a good approach." Ka'iana Eldredge explained. "We knew the wind was blowing and that we would need to swing down on the ball."
Kansas got on the board early last night, with a three-run top half of the second inning. The big hit in the inning came from junior third baseman Aaron Hernandez, who drove in two runners.
Kansas' fourth run came in the fifth inning on an RBI groundout from Smith. Before Smith's at-bat, junior right fielder and cleanup hitter Connor McKay stepped up to the plate.
McKay leads the Big 12 and is third in the nation with 34 RBIs. With runners at first and second base, this was an opportune RBI spot for the big man. McKay laid down a perfect sac bunt and set up a scoring opportunity for his team.
Kansas got some more insurance in the eighth when senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge drove a single up the middle to score Smith and Tharp for the second time each. Eldredge had been struggling lately as his average
dropped to .261 entering the day.
Junior outfielder Michael Suiter drove in two runs on a single of his own. Kansas scored another run in the inning on an error by the shortstop.
The Jayhawk pitching staff was nearly perfect on the night. Junior right-hander Drew Morovick went 5.2 innings, allowing no runs on only three hits in his fifth win of the season, tying him for the Big 12 lead. Morovick was limited to 5.2 innings due to a high pitch count.
There was a bit of a scare in the third inning when Morovick went to field a bunt. Sophomore shortstop Ryan Fitzgerald pushed a bunt down the first base side,
Morovick sprinted off the mound and fell while trying to scoop the ball and toss it to first. Morovick grabbed his ankle and stayed on the ground for some time before heading back to the mound.
"It hurts," Morovick explained. "I went down for the ball and didn't want to step on it. I extended my leg and it felt like all my muscles evaporated. It hurts like hell now, but it didn't have an effect on me when I was throwing."
Freshman Stephen Villines came in to finish the sixth inning and took care of the seventh and eighth innings as well. Over his 2.1 scoreless innings of work, Villines gave up one hit, struck out two and walked none.
"Villines is one of the best kept secrets on this team," Eldredge said.
Villines entered the night with .61 ERA, a.184 batting average against and nine strikeouts. Villines improved his ERA to .53 against the Bluejays. Dakota Smith came in to shut the door in the ninth and recorded a 1-2-3 inning.
Kansas had everything going for them in the victory against Creighton. This was the first time Creighton had been shut out in a game since 2008 against Illinois State. Kansas takes on Oklahoma in a home series this weekend.

POLICY
Student athletes win right to form NLRB union
BLAKE SCHUSTER
sports@kansan.com
In a landmark decision on Wednesday, the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago declared that football players at Northwestern University are in fact employees of the school and have the right to unionize.
In this Jan. 28 file photo, Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, right, speaks while College Athletes Players Association President Ramogi Huma listens during a news conference in Chicago.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Northwestern plans to appeal the ruling, which would allow student athletes to collectively bargain with the university on matters such as payment and health care.
It doesn't — at least not yet.
"While we respect the NLRB process and the regional director's opinion, we disagree with it," Vice President for University Relations Alan Cubbage said in a press release.
"Northwestern believes strongly that our student athletes are not employees, but students. Unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student athletes."
This historic verdict is likely headed for a long and public battle in appellate courts and may not have any immediate impact. As far as the current status of student athletes, here's what the decision means for college athletics
HOW DOES THIS RULING
AFFECT KU?
While the NLRB declared Northwestern's scholarship offers constitute a contract, this case only concerns private universities, meaning student athletes at public schools like Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State are not eligible to unionize. Although this may lead to wider reform throughout the NCAA.
However, this does have strong implications on some of the Big 12's other members. Baylor University and Texas Christian University are private schools that would both be liable to comply with the NLRB's decision. Players at these institutions would be able to follow the path forged by former Northwestern QB Kain Colter and his teammates.
HOW DID THIS ALL START?
This most recent uprising of collegiate players began in the middle of last season with Northwestern players starting a trend of writing "APU" — standing for All Players United — on their wristbands before games.
Some Kansas players joined the cause, inscribing the letters on their gear before an October 7 game against Texas Tech.
On January 28, Colter,
under the guidance of former
UCLA linebacker Ramogi
Huma and backed by the United Steelworkers union, submitted a petition and union cards of unnamed
Unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student athletes."
However, this has been
ALAN CUBBAGE Northwestern University
Northwestern players to the NLRB for review.
only the latest flare up in an ongoing debate. Player compensation has long been discussed since television revenues began significantly increasing during the 1980s.
Currently the NCAA is embattled in a class action lawsuit filed by another former UCLA athlete — basketball player Ed O'Bannon — that alleges violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Although Northwestern plans to appeal, Tulane Sports Law professor Gabe Feldman tweeted that a university football union election
would take place within 30 days unless the NLRB orders otherwise.
The appeal by the school must be filed by April 19 in Washington D.C. According to Feldman, the NLRB has no specific time limit to make a decision; however, the board has prioritized representation cases, which may speed up the process.
Either way, both the NCAA and the student athletes it governs will likely continue operating the way it has. But the movement toward its reform has just taken its largest step yet.

THE MORNING BREW
College basketball players enter draft before NBA ready
The announcement of Wayne Selden Jr returning for his sophomore season should come as no surprise. The 6-foot-5 guard vastly underperformed, averaging a mere 10.2 points a game, scoring 20 points or more in just three games. Selden understood he was not ready to jump ship to the NBA and needed another collegiate season to develop his skill.
With the announcement, Jayhawk fans now await the decision of two other freshmen. Joel Embid the 7-foot center out of Cameroon, exploded onto the scene, claiming Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, averaging 11.2 points and 2.6 blocks a game. Andrew Wiggins, who was anointed the "next Lebron James" before playing a minute in a Jayhawks uniform, led the team with 17.1 points on 44 percent shooting.
By Shane Jackson
sports@kansan.com
As the Jayhawk faithful awaits the decision of Embiid and Wiggins, there
will be one phrase that will be uttered countless times. "He's not NBA ready," the old sports cliche, has been used often, most notably in sensational freshmen such as these two Jayhawks.
Since the NBA required players to play at least one year at the collegiate level, we have seen several "one-and-done" players who believe they are capable. The likes of Kevin Durant, John Wall and Derrick Rose, all played one year before entering the NBA draft. At the cost of the "one-and-done,"
At the cost of the "one-and-done," the NBA has stolen a few players
who undoubtedly weren't ready and could have used another year in college, like Josh Selby. This has led to the overused sport cliche "NBA ready" to determine if a player is ready for the professional league.
THE BREW
But what exactly is "NBA ready"? Too often fans, or even experts, look at a player like an Andrew Wiggins and decide he's
not NBA ready because he won't be able to dominate in the league. But is that how we should determine if someone is NBA ready? If we did that, then no one would be considered NBA ready.
It's important to distinguish between NBA ready and elite NBA ready. Too often people expect these 19-year-old kids to dominate at the NBA level like Paul George. When in fact, it is going
to take some time for any of these freshmen to work their way up to being elite. Any one of these players can be NBA ready, while averaging 12-14 points a game. Even Paul George didn't become Paul George overnight. he averaged just 7.1 points per game his
rookie season and 12.1 in his second year.
Ultimately, it will be Wiggins' or Embiid's decision if they want to forgo their sophomore year. It is important to understand that neither of these two will dominate in their first year, if ever. However, both of these guys are more than capable of competing in the NBA.

Kansas begins outdoor season with Texas Relays
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
The Kansas track and field teams will kick off the outdoor season this weekend at the 87th annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, Texas. The meet, which began Wednesday and will wrap up this Saturday, will mark the first outdoor meet for the Jayhawks since the Kansas women won the NCAA Outdoor title last June in Eugene, Ore.
The 40 male and female Jayhawk athletes that are making the trip will be among 6,000 competitors from 200 other colleges, all vying for
some early season success.
The women's squad enters the meet ranked No.10 in the NCAA preseason polls, which marks the third season in a row that the Jayhawk women have been ranked inside the top 10. The men's side barely missed making the top 25, being placed at No.26 in the preseason rankings for the fourth-straight season.
The Jayhawk women's top-10 preseason ranking has a lot to do with the talent they have returning from last season's championship team. One of these returning athletes is junior Lindsay Vollmer, who will compete this week in the
heptathlon for the first time since she took the NCAA title in the event last June. Vollmer, who competed in four of the seven heptathlon events yesterday, sits just barely behind the current first and second place competitors entering Thursday.
Also returning from last season's title squad is senior Diamond Dixon, who is fresh off an 11th place finish in the 400-meter at the NCAA Indoor Championships, which were held in Albuquerque, N.M., on March 14-15. Dixon, the three-time defending Big 12 Outdoor Champion in the 400-meter, will be looking to

SEATTLE — Gone were the jitters and apprehension from two days earlier when it was fair to question if South Carolina deserved a No. 1 seed.
The Gamecocks left no doubt Tuesday night leaving Oregon State bruised and erasing all those memories of being upset in the second round a year ago.
"We knew from the get go we wanted to be aggressive and not back down to their size," South Carolina's Aleighsa Welch said. "What we wanted to emphasize was to go right through them. Not try and go around them or try to go over the top but go right through them, through their chest. I think it paid off."
Welch had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Tiffany Mitchell scored all 20 of her points in the second half and grabbed 10 rebounds, and top-seeded South Carolina used its size and athleticism to overwhelm No.9 seed Oregon State 78-69.
A year after getting upset by a 12 seed in the second-round of the tournament, the Gamecocks are headed to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years under coach Dawn Staley. South Carolina (29-4) will face No. 4 seed North Carolina in the Stanford Region semifinals on Sunday. The Gamecocks lost to the Tar Heels 74-66 in December.
"This is a matchup we wanted to see later on in the season," Welch said.
But that meeting against the Tar Heels will come on Stanford's home court with a potential meeting coming against the Cardinal in the regional final. Staley didn't hide her displeasure with possibly having to play
Stanford on its home floor.
"I think it (stinks). I do." Staley said. "The people out at Stanford appreciate good basketball. I know that because we have played out there on a number of occasions but when it's the Final Four at stake I think it should be at neutral sites."
South Carolina slogged through its first-round victory over Cal State Northridge, letting the No. 16 seed hang around for longer than anyone anticipated.
That sluggishness was replaced with an aggressiveness that Oregon State couldn't match.
"We're not satisfied with making it to the Sweet 16... We can't get caught up in the fact we're here. This isn't where we want our season to end."
ALEIGHSA WELCH
South Carolina forward
Welch's quickness around the rim had the Beavers flustered. Whether she was following up misses or getting open for her own shot, Oregon State struggled to slow the junior forward. Welch made 8 of 11 shots and had six offensive rebounds.
South Carolina also outscored Oregon State 34-9 at the free-throw line, many of those coming in the final two minutes. Mitchell was 10 of 11 at the line.
"We're not satisfied with making it to the Sweet 16," Welch said. "We want to make a deeper run in this tournament. We can't get caught up in the fact we're here. This isn't where we want our season to end."
Jamie Weisner led Oregon State (24-11) with 21 points, including five 3-pointers, before fouling out. Gabriella Hanson added 16 points.
Leading scorer Sydney Wiese, coming off a career-high 26 in the first round win over Middle Tennessee, suffered through one of the worst nights in her freshman season. She missed her first 12 shots before hitting a 3-pointer with 1:30 left that cut the South Carolina lead to 66-57. Wiese finished with eight points.
The Gamecocks ability to limit Wiese's impact offensively was probably more successful than anticipated. Wiese was 0 of 7 shooting in the first half and rarely could get Oregon State's offense started without harassment from Khadijah Sessions, Olivia Gaines or Mitchell.
"That's a hard feet. Sydney Wiese is a really good player. She really is," Staley said. "She can stroke it, find other teammates, controls the tempo. I thought we did a terrific job of controlling all those aspects of her game. The only reason why we win this game is we don't allow her to get her average and allow her to play comfortably in the flow of their offense."
Oregon State's rally came far too late. The Beavers were unable to join a select list of No. 9 seeds to reach the round of 16. Notre Dame and Arkansas in 1998 and Michigan State in 2009 remain the only No. 9 seeds to reach the Sweet 16.
"The interesting thing about this team in just watching, there's times when we think, 'Oh, we can play with that team,' and then as soon as you get close, they hit a different gear," Oregon State coach Scott Rueck said of the Gamecocks.

Shields settles down after rough start in tuneup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHELLS

PEORIA, Ariz. — James Shields gave up seven runs in the first inning Wednesday before settling down to throw three scoreless ones in his final start before opening day in the Kansas City Royals' 9-5 loss to the San Diego Padres.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher James Shields throws before the start of the second inning of a spring exhibition baseball game against the San Diego Padres Wednesday in Peoria, Ariz.
Shields gave up six hits, walked one and hit a batter as the Padres sent 11 to the plate in the first. Shields allowed only one hit after that and finished with a 4.74 spring ERA.
"They were just hitting groundballs that found some holes," Shields said. "I was trying to stay aggressive. Walking the first guy didn't help. But other than the first inning, I thought it was a pretty good effort."
Shields will start Monday at Detroit as the Royals try to end a 28-year postseason drought, longest in the majors.
Padres starter Ian Kennedy gave up solo home runs to Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez on consecutive pitches in a two-inning stint that included three runs and six hits.
The one Perez hit was hit hard. The one Gordon hit was a flyball the wind got," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Pitch count (53) was a little high for two innings."
Perez left in the third after he has hit in the head by Johnny Barbato's curveball. A team spokesman said he didn't sustain a concussion.
Robbie Erlin, a candidate to start for San Diego while Josh Johnson (forearm) is sidelined, allowed six hits and struck out six in five shutout innings.
STARTING TIME
Royals: Five times in the first inning, the Padres swung at
Shields' first pitch. It resulted in four hits and a sacrifice bunt.
"Last game of spring training, they're swinging early," Shields said.
Padres: It was a mediocre spring for Kennedy, who finished with a 6.33 ERA. He's scheduled to start San Diego's second regular-season game Wednesday against the Dodgers.
PEREZ SCARE
Perez was the batter who hit the liner into Cincinnati reliever Aroldis Chapman's face last week, causing a facial fracture that required surgery.
"I was trying to stay aggressive. Walking the first guy didn't help. But other than the first inning, I thought it was a pretty good effort."
JAMES SHIELDS Kansas City Royals pitcher
This time, the catcher was on the other end of a scary incident, being hit in the head with a pitch.
"I'm fine," Perez said through a team spokesman.
The Padres will decide this weekend whether to carry three catchers or place Yasmani Grandal on the disabled list.
Grandal has made a rapid recovery from right knee ACL surgery in July. He caught nine innings in a minor league game Monday, but is not ready to catch consecutive days.
GRANDAL TO DL?
"I'll be in San Diego, but I think it's going to be more of a see what happens in the next five days, see how it feels," Grandal said.
Royals: Reliever Louis Coleman, who has a 13.50 ERA this spring while pitching with a bruised right middle finger, will stay behind in Arizona and is expected to start the season on the disabled list. Second baseman Omar Infante (elbow) went 2 for 5 and played five innings in the field in a minor league game. Manager Ned Yost said he'd DH in a minor league game Thursday and if that goes well he'll rejoin
TRAINER'S ROOM
the team in Milwaukee.
Padres: Outfielder Carlos Quentin was a late scratch with left knee pain. Outfielder Chris Denorfia (shoulder) will stay in Arizona and play in a minor league game Thursday. Black said he's "still optimistic" Denorfia will be ready for the opener. Outfielder Cameron Maybin (torn biceps) is swinging in the batting cage and playing catch this week. He's expected to miss another two to four weeks.
Right-hander Joe Wieland had surgery to remove loose cartilage in his elbow and won't resume a throwing program for six weeks.
PAYROLL BOOST
The Padres' payroll will surpass $90 million this season for the first time, according to a study of all contracts by The Associated Press.
San Diego ranks 21st among 30 teams, with the Royals 19th at just over $92 million.
The Padres return home to play the Indians on Friday and Saturday at the University of San Diego.
Both teams were leaving Arizona after the game for two final exhibitions.
The Royals will face the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday and Saturday.
UP NEXT
"I'm excited about taking a good team in there," said Yost, a former Brewers player and manager.
NHL
EDMONTON, Alberta — Joe Pavelski scored three goals and set up another as the San Jose Sharks snapped a two-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.
Patrick Marleau and Marty Havlat also scored for the Sharks (47-18-9) who moved four points up on idle Anaheim for the Pacific Division lead and remained two points behind St. Louis for first in the Western Conference.
David Perron and Taylor Hall scored for the second-to-last place Oilers (25-39-9), who have lost three in a row. Edmonton was beaten 8-1 by the Calgary Flames on Sunday after a 3-1 defeat to the lastplace Buffalo Sabres.
Pavelski has 3 goals, 4 points in Sharks win
The Oilers started the scoring just over four minutes in when Perron went around Tyler Kennedy before
San Jose clinched a playoff spot in a shootout loss to Calgary on Monday.
San Jose scored their third man-advantage goal of the game at 1:17 of the third period. Pavelski got the puck with space in front, waited for defender Andrew Ference to go down, and then beat Scrivens
putting a shot past Antti Niemi. It was Perron's team-leading 26th goal.
San Jose tied it 6:28 into the second on Pavelski's first goal of the night. Ben Scrivens made the initial stop on a shot from the slot by Marleau, but the rebound angled to Pavelski at the side of the net for his 35th goal.
The Sharks took a two-goal lead with 30 seconds left in the middle period after Jeff Petry overskated a puck at his blue line, allowing Havat to come in and put a wrist shot past Scrivens stickside.
Another power-play goal midway through the period gave San Jose a 2-1 lead. Pavelski chopped a puck to Marleau at the top of the opposite circle, and he scored before Scrivens could get across. It was Marleau's 31st goal.
Hall brought the Oilers within 5-2 when he got to a rebound in front and hooked in a diving backhand shot for his 25th goal.
The Oilers have been outscored 16-4 in their last three home games. NOTES: It was the fourth of five games this season between the teams. The Sharks won the first two games before the Oilers won on Jan. 29. Laurent Brossoit was called up from the AHL to serve as the Oilers backup goalie after Viktor Fasth was injured in a collision in practice on Wednesday. Oilers forward Nail Yakupov missed his fourth straight game with an ankle injury. Sharks forward Logan Couture was unable to play after he sustained a lower-body injury while blocking a shot Wednesday against Calgary. Also out for the Sharks were forwards Tomas Hertl and Raffi Torres.
Pavelski finished his third hat trick of the season with seven minutes left in the third. Pavelski's fourpoint night gave him 71 points on the season.

Mauer, who has three more spring training games to complete his conversion from a three-time Gold Glove-winning catcher to a full-time first baseman, bobbled a ball hit by Travis Snider with two outs and the bases loaded. The error allowed Tito Polo and Jordy Mercer to score the tying and go-ahead runs.
Oswaldo Arcia hit a solo home run, his second of spring training, for the Twins off Pirates left-hander Tony Watson.
STARTING TIME
Ricky Nolasco, Minnesota's opening day starter, struck out three in four scoreless innings, giving up one walk and one hit in his final outing of the spring.
"He pitched great," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He threw the ball very, very well. He's feeling really confident, and I'm really confident. He took himself out basically and said he felt good."
Nolasco started on opening day last season for the Miami Marlins and in 2009 for the Marlins as well.
"It's an honor," Nolasco said. "I'll just go out there like I have my whole career. Everybody's excited to get it going."
Nolasco said he felt polished enough to end the outing after four innings. He finished spring training with a 5.50 ERA in five starts.
Pirates closer Jason Grilli struck out one in one inning. He has not allowed a run this spring after pitching four innings in the Grapefruit League, plus additional work in minor league games. He said he is scheduled to pitch one more exhibition game against the Phillies.
“It's the last start of spring,” said N拉斯ico, whose Twins open at division rival Chicago on Monday. “I was just trying
CLOSING TIME
to go four innings. I've been ready for about two weeks now. I've felt good all spring. I'm ready to go."
"Opening day is the best day for baseball. Everybody is excited. People can see that. It's time to play ball, right?"
"I'm still working on my delivery and my mechanics," said Cumpton, who spent most of last season in Triple-A Indianapolis, where he had a 6-7 record and 3.32 ERA in 19 starts, 20 appearances. "Overall, it was a pretty decent day for me. It's a big confidence builder for me, too, seeing guys like that in the lineup and getting to throw against them."
"Opening day is the best day for baseball," Grilli said. "Everybody is excited. People can see that. It's time to play ball, right? Everything is fine. I'm ready to go. I will have gotten my nine innings in. It's been a great spring training."
JASON GRILLI Pirates pitcher
TRAINING ROOM
Pirates starter Brandon Cumpton, who made his big-league debut for the Pirates last season and wound up starting five games, struck out four and gave up two hits in five shutout innings.
Twins shortstop Pedro Florimon continued his accelerated spring training, having been limited to seven games following an emergency appendectomy at the end of March. Florimon went 0-for-3 on Wednesday and is hitting 150 (3 for 20).
"I'm going to need a few more at-bats to get ready for the season," Florimon said. "I've just been working hard every day."

Dieng's 15 pushes Wolves past Hawks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Gorgui Dieng had 15 points and 15 rebounds to continue his out-of-nowhere emergence and the Minnesota Timberwolves dealt the slumping Atlanta Hawks another costly loss with a 107-83 victory.
Corey Brewer and Kevin Martin each scored 18 points and Kevin Love had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Timberwolves. Minnesota scored 32 points off 26 Hawks turnovers and blew the game open in the second half.
Paul Millsap had 12 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta, which has lost four straight and has the New York Knicks right in their rearview mirror for the eighth and final playoff spot. Jeff Teague, who had averaged more than 23 points over the previous four games,
went scoreless for the first time this season on 0-for-5 shooting.
The struggling Wolves defense held Atlanta to 37.8 percent shooting and had six of its 17 steals in the third quarter to start pulling away.
With starting center Nikola Pekovic out for the sixth straight game, Wolves coach Rick Adelman had no choice but to thrust the rookie Dieng into the first significant minutes of his career. Dieng has flourished with the added responsibility, posting double-doubles in five of the six games. He had 10 points and 13 rebounds in the first half, helping the Wolves weather an unusually quiet night from Love.
The last time these two teams met, on Feb. 1, the Hawks overcame 43 points and 19 rebounds from Love to
win for the fifth time in seven games. That put them at 25-22 and in third place in the Eastern Conference. But the Hawks have gone 6-17 since then, a slide exacerbated by injuries to Gustavo Ayon and Kyle Korver, who missed his fourth straight game.
And yet on Wednesday night it was the Wolves, who have essentially been out of the Western Conference playoff race for about two weeks, who played with the urgency and tenacity on defense of a team that needs every win it can get.
Atlanta's crumbling, combined with a surprising surge from the Knicks, turned a playoff spot that once appeared to be a foregone conclusion into anything but a sure thing. They led the ninth-place Knicks by three games for the final spot in the muddled East.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — David Booth scored two unassisted goals and Eddie Lack made 29 saves to lead the Vancouver Canucks over the Minnesota Wild 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Minnesota outshot Vancouver 31-19 and got goals from Charlie Coyle and Nino Niederreiter, but lost its third straight at home.
Booth scored for the second consecutive game after going scoreless in his previous 32.
NHL
800. 927.4529 washburnlaw.edu/beahero
On his first goal, Booth took the puck the length of the ice after a faceoff and fired it past Darcy Kuemper.
Booth's second goal broke a 1-1 tie in the second period and came after Jared Spurgeon whiffed on a pass in the Wild zone, leading to a bad turnover and a point-blank look for Booth.
Minnesota, currently holding the first wild-card spot in the West, controlled play for most of the first two periods, but failed to capitalize on four power plays and fell behind 3-1.
Illya Bryzgalov took over for the slumping Kuemper
after two periods. Kuemper allowed three goals in 12 shots, the fifth time in his last seven start he's allowed at least three goals.
The switch didn't get Minnesota going. Vancouver killed an early third period power play, and then put the game away on Sedin's goal at 11:12 to make it 4-1.
The goal was Sedin's first in his last 23 games and his first point in his last 13.
Coyle's goal was his third in three games. The center had scored only once in his previous 24 games.
Lack got a little help in the second period from Alexander Edler. Zach Parise stuffed the puck between Lack's pads, but just before it crossed the goal line, Edler swept it away.
Vancouver has won six of its last nine after losing 11 of 12.
Both Phoenix and Dallas were idle on Wednesday. The Canucks now have 78 points, Dallas 79 and Phoenix 82.
Henrik Sedin missed the game with a leg injury and didn't make the trip.

Adoption gives student purpose in life
Denise Leonard, a University student from Topeka, flips through a photo album she was given when her son, Wilson Cole, turned one. Leonard gave up her son for adoption to a childless couple after realizing that was her purpose in life.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
EMILY DONOVAN news@kansan.com
After their son's first birthday. Wilson Cole's parents gave his birth mother a photo album. It's full of black-and-white baby photos and happy family portraits.
Denise Leonard loves one photo in particular: herself, Wilson's birth mother, and Heather Cole, his adoptive mother, smiling together in the hospital.
Denise gave her son to a couple in need in an open adoption two years ago. Now a 30-year-old sophomore from Topeka in the School of Social Welfare, she is studying to become an adoption counselor. She wants to use her experiences to help other birth mothers.
"I want to shout my story to the world," Leonard said. "I love our adoption story."
In August 2010, Denise found out she was pregnant. She and Jon Leonard had been dating since April. There were a lot of what-ifs.
Denise was living in a homeless shelter and finishing an associate's degree in biological science. Having a newborn would jeopardize her job hunt. From day one, Jon was supportive.
Denise never considered abortion an option. She remembers feeling hurt when her mom, who got pregnant at the age of 16, would wish she had aborted Denise.
Jon brought up adoption. "If it's a girl, I want to keep it," Denise decided. "If it's a boy, maybe we could help a childless couple."
Before meeting Jon, Denise already had three sons from previous relationships; Jon already had one son from his previous marriage. With four sons, Denise had always wanted a daughter to play dolls with.
"We're taught in preschool to share, and I already had three sons plus a stepson," Denise said.
In October, the sonogram technician told Denise and Jon their child was a boy. Denise remembers crying so hard the technician was uncomfortable enough to leave the room.
"I beat myself up over that for a long time before I realized this is my purpose," Denise said. "This is what I'm here for. I was necessary to this couple. It was necessary for him to be a boy."
Denise and Jon went through
an adoption agency to choose the parents to place their son with. Heather and Thad Cole seemed perfect from the first question when they met for the first time in the Cole living room.
"So do you have any names picked out?" Denise asked.
"Yes." Heather said with a straight face. "We were going to name him Leslie Francis Ashley."
Denise panicked. She had been worried that the couple would name their son some-

Last week Naismith Hall announced the members of its inaugural class of Naismith Hall Scholars for Spring 2014. Naismith residents Dalton Jorns, Austen McGuire, Chloe Hosid and Jake Novicoff were selected as Naismith Hall Scholars on the basis of academic achievement, community involvement and leadership. All four winners will receive a $1,000 scholarship.
Naismith Hall, a private residence hall just off campus, created the Naismith Hall Scholars program in an effort to more effectively contribute to the academic success of its residents.
"The motivation for starting the Naismith Scholars program was to celebrate and reward our residents," said Sara
sophomore from Olathe. "I hadn't really expected to win; I just did it and hoped for the best."
Jorns added that the creation of the Naismith Scholars program illustrates that Naismith

"It means a lot and it's good to know you have people backing you up," McGuire said. "Transferring here from Vermont, I don't have a lot of the scholarships that you get as a high school senior coming out of high school."

Architecture dean stepping down after 20 years
(2)
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
After 20 years as the dean of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, John Gaunt will miss the "intensity of the wider university community involvement," but looks forward to being more engaged with his students.
The dean of the School of Architecture, John Gaunt, announced his plan to step down as dean after the spring 2015 semester, but will continue to teach. His decision to leave marks the start of a search for his replacement.
Gaunt announced earlier in the month that he would step down as dean through an email to faculty and students, but will continue to teach Intro to Architecture and a freehand drawing class.

"No regrets for those 20 years," Gaunt said. "I have a sense of accomplishment and involvement and value, and the teaching part of it has been an enrichment, which from here on I'll have a more direct and defined involvement in, but really a different kind of challenge."
Before serving as the dean, Gaunt worked for a professional practice, but he says that he had always anticipated becoming part of the academic community.
"My interests come from my own education and the discoveries I made during my education and it was a natural inclination for me to, along with the things a dean is responsible for, [be] engaged with students," Gaunt said.
According to professor Kent Spreckelmeyer, who has worked closely with Gaunt and was on the search committee that hired Gaunt, his experience has influenced a generation of students.
"There's very few people in architecture now that have the

Gaunt has been teaching a freehand drawing class all 20 years as dean, and has been teaching an intro to architecture class for 12 years.
Gaunt hopes to travel to Istanbul soon.

7.5 quake on California fault could be disastrous
ASSOCIATED PRESS
图为陈德祥在公园讲台上讲话
A groundskeeper removes the supports to a sign at a park in Buena Park in Fullerton, Calif., on March 29, the morning after rangers discovered it fell off its supports after an earthquake hit Orange County Friday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LA HABRA, Calif. — Experts say a bigger earthquake along the lesser-known fault that gave Southern California a moderate shake could do more damage to the region than the long-dreated "Big One" from the more famous San Andreas Fault.
The Puente Hills thrust fault, which brought Friday night's magnitude-5.1 quake centered in La Habra and well over 100 aftershocks by Sunday, stretches from northern Orange County under downtown Los Angeles into Hollywood — a heavily populated swath of the Los Angeles area.
A magnitude-7.5 earthquake along that fault could prove more catastrophic than one along the San Andreas, which runs along the outskirts of metropolitan Southern California, seismologists said.
The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that such a quake along the Puente Hills fault could kill 3,000 to 18,000 people and cause up to $250 billion in damage. In contrast, a larger magnitude 8 quake along the San Andreas would cause an estimated
1,800 deaths.
In 1987, the fault caused the Whittier Narrows earthquake. Still considered moderate at magnitude 5.9, that quake killed eight people and did more than $350 million in damage.
Part of the problem with the potential damage is that the fault runs near so many vulnerable older buildings, many made of concrete, in downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood. And because the fault, discovered in 1999, is horizontal, heavy reverberations are likely to be felt over a wide area.
The shaking from a 7.5 quake in the center of urban Los Angeles could be so intense it would lift heavy objects in the air.
That would "hit all of downtown," Jones said. "And everywhere from La Habra to Hollywood."
About 150 aftershocks, including one of magnitude-4.1, were felt since Friday night's quake, which forced several dozen people in the Orange County city of Fullerton out of their homes after firefighters discovered foundation problems that made the buildings unsafe.
thing girly. Heather laughed and explained they were joking.
"It was nice to have that smart-assery that I have given back to me." Denise said. "It's comfortable knowing she has some of the same qualities that I do"
ADOPTION FROM PAGE 1
Jon said that he became more confident in placing their son in adoption after meeting Heather and Thad. Adoption was the best route.
"After going through the process of searching for a couple, meeting them, and talking to them, we realized we were making these people happier," Jon Leonard said.
In December 2010, Jon proposed. Now married, Denise and Jon are raising their four sons together.
In their open adoption, Denise and Jon are in contact with Heather, Thad and Wilson Cole. They say that visiting Wilson at the Cole house is like dropping in on a nephew.
"I wholeheartedly believe that that's in his best interest," Heather said.
Heather was also adopted. Since her adoption was closed, her biological parents have never been part of her life. Aside from wanting to know medical history, reaching out to them would feel weird or even a little disloyal.
One of the reasons she keeps a relationship with Denise is so Wilson doesn't feel that awkwardness.
"At some point, he's going to have questions, and I'm not going to be able to answer all of
them," Heather said.
Heather and Denise talk regularly. A few months after Wilson's adoption, Denise met Heather at a coffee shop with a list of worries: Would Wilson one day hate her for not keeping him? Would her other sons hate her for not placing them with families like the Coles? Would Wilson want to keep his biological mother in his life when Heather is his mother?
"She'll be there when he skins his knee," Denise said. "She'll be there when he gets his heart broken. She'll be there when he fails a test. That's what a mom is. I just want to be recognized as the one who gave him all of that; gave him life, gave him a mom."
Heather recognized Denise's strengths. Denise is always giving back to others and fighting for the morally right thing. She's kept a positive attitude despite the struggles in her life and knows the insecurities that can concern birth mothers.
"Why don't you just apply that?" Heather asked.
Heather encouraged Denise to go back to school. After finishing her bachelor's and master's degrees through the School of Social Welfare, Denise plans to coach other birth mothers to see how meaningful placing their child with adoptive parents is. Adoption has given her purpose, "I was necessary," Denise said. "There were so many factors in me choosing this specific couple that it was almost like divine intervention. I was necessary to their life. There's a reason I'm here."

"I was in my room when I got the call and I was so happy." Hosid said. "It's a huge financial help. I love nature and I think it's important to preserve it. I'm really interested in responsible and innovative design that facilitates more natural processes taking place."
Jorns, McGuire and Hosid each spoke fondly of their experiences living in the Naismith Hall community and described the unique events that take place there, like a recent fundraiser for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, where residents paid for the privilege of hitting their respective resident advisors in the face with pies.
"Naismith is an extremely close-knit community and it has such an energy about it; people pick up on it even on short tours," Mann said. "It's a happy place to live."

because of the payback that a teacher receives when they get to see that students are benefiting from their class.
"It's a sense of what you have to offer being received and having value and that's not
always an easy thing to measure," Gaunt said. "You know it when you do it well."
Spreckelmeyer says that he also looks forward to Gaunt becoming a full-time faculty member, because he was always more of a colleague than a dean.
"I'm looking forward to him
taking an even more active role in that dimension of the education of students," Spreckelmeyer said. "I think he could have a major impact in not only design, but the other schools as well."
Other than spending more time teaching, Gaunt looks forward to continuing his
projects in drawing and metal work, as well as doing some traveling.
"I have no prospect of boredom whatsoever in stepping down from this position," Gaunt said.

R.J. Mitte says be a leader, change a life
I went to listen to R.J. Mitte speak about his cerebral palsy and experiences living with a disability. A John Locke fan whether he knew it or not (at one point during his talk he claimed that "all people are inherently good"), I thought that Mitte's talk was insightful—if a bit informal.
In a full ballroom filled with eager students ready to share a room with fame, I was perhaps the only person there who has not seen more than thirty seconds of the show, "Breaking Bad," for which R.J. Mitte is famous. This isn't to say that part of my motivation wasn't my curiosity in seeing a celebrity close-up. On the contrary, that was certainly part of my interest. But I am glad
I chose not to watch an episode of the show before going to listen to his talk. He is likely to.
By Tasha Cerny
opinion@kansan.com
My inability to subsequently know this man through his role on television gave me the opportunity to listen more to his words than gawk at his face. Of the many, many things Mitte said on that stage, there are a few that stand out to me. In particular, Mitte's straight-forward, upfront answer to a question, for which he responded, "I am able to fill a room like this because of my good fortune and privilege. But I realize that this talk will only matter to a handful of you, and the rest are here because of my privilege. But because of that handful of people, that's all that matters."
R. J. Mitte also told a story of an old woman who fell with no one to help her, despite being surrounded by people. Instead, the people around her turned away or stepped over her. In shock about what he was seeing, Mitte helped the woman up and began to take care of her. And because of his assistance, the people who had previously ignored the woman began to help her.
This, I think, was the most important point of Mitte's
speech for myself. Mitte's point was that every cause needs a leader and that when one person takes initiative—even alone—they will find followers.
I think this is a very important point for students everywhere across our campus to know and understand. We have not all struggled physically, mentally or emotionally throughout most of our lives. We have not all been bullied so cruelly that we go home to cry every night. We cannot all understand these things or how they affect those who experience any number of things.
We can, however, take initiative. We can be leaders. We can identify the problems of our society,
and we can come up with creative solutions to fix them. All it takes is one 'yes,' and knowledge of where to start. If you are looking to get more involved around campus and help people at the same time, consider joining the Center for Community Outreach, applying for an alternative break, or volunteering your time at places like Jubilee Café or the Willow safe center. Remember, you may not be the one knocking, but you can build the door for the one who does knock.

COMPETITION
Only in the USA: where not winning is considered losing
A few weeks ago the Oscars rounded out Hollywood's award season, the time of year people suddenly develop a vested interest in which film will be deemed the best of the year.
For some it's a personal grievance that Leonardo Dicaprio "lost" yet again this year, and he and I remain in a dead heat in the little gold statues department. That's how we talk about not being selected by the Academy to receive their award. Not winning is characterized as losing. Never mind critical acclaim, fame, box office revenue, or intrinsic satisfaction for that matter. Even if you're unbelievably fortunate enough to be nominated for an Academy Award, if the committee doesn't choose you to be number one, you've lost.
By Clay Cosby
opinion@kansan.com
The United States has an obsession with winners and losers and it dominates our discourse. Never mind that this year's best picture nominees represented a wide variety of genres and unrelated themes. They must fit our discourse and be ranked because we must have a winner.
Of course competition dates back beyond the Roman Empire, even to Cain and Abel's sibling rivalry, but it has never been more at home than in America. Our election season is longer and wrought with comically more drama than anywhere else in the world. To our neighboring democracies across the pond it's no different than an American soap opera.
None of this is inherently bad, in fact March Madness is perhaps a byproduct
of this fervor so I won't complain. But what's concerning are the more sinister manifestations of this Ricky Bobby "if you're not first you're last" culture
The winner-take-all attitude is evident in how our current events are framed. This attitude, aided by fear-mongering cable news talking heads, becomes consequential when it is the lens Americans apply to the outside world and becomes how popular perception of other nations, and the U.S.'s role in the world, is shaped.
Evidence of such an obsession is recognizable in the discourse surrounding international relations in popular headlines such as the burgeoning "threat" of a developing China. The dialogue cultivates an us vs. them mentality driven by a misconception that the global economy is a zero-sum one. In this case a situation with a winner and a loser between the U.S. and China has been artificially crafted to fit how Americans view the world.
In Russia's annexation of Ukraine this attitude again seeps into the conversation. In this case the effects of this kind of American exceptionalism steers the discussion back toward the U.S. and how Russia's actions are directly related to America. That Putin's motives are instead motivated by centuries old regional relationships that
have little or nothing to do with the United States actions hardly even enters the discussion.
The most serious encroachment of this culture is how it compounds what is shaping up to be my lifetime's most chronic economic ailment
- income inequality. Capitalism is all about winners and losers. Ideally hard work, innovation, and talent instead of opportunity, circumstance, and luck separate the winners and losers. That may never be the exact case but recently the trend would seem to indicate a turn for the worse.
Income inequality has reached levels unprecedented in the modern era but part of what gets in the way of appropriate identification of this issue is an obsession with winning that placates popular consciousness. Instead of addressing the problem, the status quo dictates we accept that the wealthy and the poor deserve what they receive. The winners are celebrated and the losers are shamed.
When Christian Bale won the Oscar for supporting actor for The Fighter in 2011 he thanked the film's producers, "for pushing us out there and letting people know it exists, so many movies are just brilliant but nobody ever knows about them."
There needs to be more room to ask questions about who's winning and who's losing because our producers lack parity.

ECONOMICS
Prioritize environment over economic growth
Economic growth is commonly perceived to be the solution to many of the woes of the modern world. Problems, from recessions to overpopulation to climate change, can, according to some, be solved with continual growth. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that perpetual growth of the world economy is causing undue and unsustainable strain on the environment. As economist Herman Daly writes, "Relying on growth ... might be fine if the global economy existed in a void, but it does not. Rather the economy is a subsystem of the finite biosphere that supports it." Economists like Daly advocate sustainable economic practices, which preserve the biosphere while ensuring economic health.
Public perception on this issue has changed with time. In 1984, Gallup began polling Americans, asking whether they agree more with the statement "protection of the environment should be given priority, even at the risk of curbing economic growth" or "economic growth should be given priority, even if the environment suffers to some extent." Since the poll began, Americans have tended to favor the environment over the economy. However, this trend reversed following the 2008 recession. Today, though, 50 percent favor the environment over the economy while 41 percent hold the opposite view.
Unsurprisingly, a divide exists between the views of Republicans and Democrats on the issue. Today, nearly two-thirds of Republicans believe that the economy should be given priority
while about two-thirds of Democrats hold that the environment should be favored. In addition, younger demographics tend to favor the environment over the economy.
By Ike Uri
opinion@kansan.com
Regardless of public opinion on the issue, the perceived need for continual economic growth is causing serious problems within the environment. While the economy can suffer damage and recover, most aspects of the environment do not have this luxury. As the effects of climate change become clearer, it is important that the world economy change to reflect the need for environmental preservation. Daly claims that creating a sustainable economy is possible, albeit with drastic adjustments to the entire economic system. Though these changes may be difficult for some, it is necessary for the economy to find its place in and respect the biosphere it exists in. If this does not happen, the long-term consequences will certainly be far more drastic and undesirable than changing policy now.

FILM
Foreign films 'The Wind Rises,' 'Queen' receive rave reviews
ANDREW HOSKINS
entertain@kansan.com
"The Wind Rises" (Japan):
The Story:
Only a great, great man could create a 126-minute cartoon that held the attention of a semi-mature, joke-hunting man-boy on a Friday night. It's a seemingly impossible feat, yet that sagely devil did it again. That great man is Hayao Miyazaki. And the man-boy? That's me. Try as I might, I couldn't make fun of this one. Miyazaki, the writer and director behind "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke," nailed "The Wind Rises." Let's break it down:
Once you get over the fact that this movie is a cartoon, which takes a layman animation-viewer about an hour and a half, the slow-moving story finally wraps you up into the warm comforts of its dreamlike plot flow. Put less goofily: It's boring at first, but gets better. Much better. We are first placed literally inside the childhood dreams of the real-life smart guy Jiro Horikoshi. He has visions of becoming an aviation engineer, and draws inspiration from passages he read in an old book about Italian aeronautical engineer Giovanni Battista Caproni. Little Jiro then grows up, goes to college, meets a cutie named Nahoko and becomes a hot-shot engineer. After a sweeping life of tender love, career successes, technical aero-failures and a trip to Germany, Jiro's work is done. He is the mastermind behind very recognizable Japanese World War II memorabilia, but I won't spoil it. Although the film moves slowly, it's brill-
liantly written and well worth the journey. 8.5/10
The Talent
the film's "actors" are cartoon characters, so not much to say here. They all do a very good job though and give both Beavis and Butt-head a run for their money. 9/10
The Message:
"The Wind Rises" teaches us to use our fears of failure to our advantage and to not be defeated by them. Jiro has constant visions of his planes crashing before they're even built, but seems to use this fear to spur his work toward perfection. We also learn the importance of being nice to others and the long-lasting benefits of going the extra mile. Lastly, we learn about the great importance of genuine love for our significant other. 9/10
Total:
88 percent (26.5/30) B+
"Queen" (India):
This movie is perhaps the greatest chick flick ever made. I've never seen "The Notebook," but "Queen" definitely blows the ones I have seen clear out of the water. I normally avoid them, but the heart, charm and sheer entertainment value of "Queen" left me cheering for leading-lady Rani (Kangana Ranaut). It's a movie of adventure, rejection and self-discovery, all wrapped up by a really catchy score. Let's break it down:
The Story:
The movie is almost entirely in Hindi, but those who don't mind reading subtitles will love the wickedly original
plot line: Two days before her wedding, Rani's fiancé, Vijay (Rajkummar Rao), breaks off the engagement, leaving Rani and her family devastated. Naturally feeling dejected and confused, Rani decides to go ahead and leave her home in Delhi and travel to Paris and Amsterdam alone on the honeymoon she and Vijay had planned. She meets new friends in both cities who show her that life isn't as scary and hopeless as she thought it was. Finally, she returns to Delhi a newly confident woman and faces the don't-know-whatcha-got-till-it's-gone-stricken Vijay, but I can't spoil the rest. 9/10
The Talent:
Ranaut plays both an innocent, yet insecure girl and an attractively confident woman very well, but it's the transition from one to the other that really showcases her ability to act. Rao's character is much more static, but is still quite convincing as a bit of a jerk with a soft side. I'm telling you, see this movie for Lisa Haydon, who plays Rani Parisian friend. Whew. Smokin'. 9/10
The Message:
"Queen" teaches us that the pain of rejection can actually spur us into something new and better. We also learn the importance of stepping out of our comfort zone and the excitement an adventure can bring to the soul. Lastly, we learn that experiencing other people is much more satisfying than relying on them for happiness. 10/10

$1.5 million needed by May 1 to save Rosie's plant
+ +
ASSOCIATED PRESS
1
The B-17G "Yankee Lady" sits in front of the old Willow Run Bomber Plant at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti Township, Mich. At President Franklin Roosevelt's urging, Ford Motor Co. switched from making cars to planes at the factory where workers produced one an hour — nearly 9,000 B-24 Liberator bombers in all — to help win World War II.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — A group trying to save the Detroit-area factory where Rosie the Riveter became an icon of American female empowerment during World War II said Friday that it must raise $1.5 million in the next few weeks to save the site from being demolished.
Those behind the Save the Bomber Plant campaign said they have raised $6.5 million of the $8 million they need by May 1 to buy the Willow Run Bomber Plant west of Detroit. They want to convert the factory where Rose Will Monroe and other workers built B-24 bombers into a museum dedicated to aviation and the countless other Rosies who toiled at similar U.S. plants.
The group has received several extensions by which to acquire a portion of the old plant, but the time has come to either raise the necessary money or see it relegated to the history books, said Dennis Norton, the president of the Michigan Aerospace Foundation and one of the leaders of the effort to save the plant.
"They need an answer from us," Norton said, referring to the trust set up to oversee properties owned by a pre-bankruptcy General Motors. "Demolition is underway, and they can't stop demolishing the plant, then come back later."
Monroe, a Kentucky native who moved to Michigan during the war, starred as herself in the film and became one of the best-known figures of that era. She represented the thousands of Rosies who took factory jobs making munitions, weaponry and other things while the nation's men were off fighting in Europe and the Pacific.
Norton and his team want to separate and preserve 175,000 square feet of the Ypsilanti Township, Mich., site and convert it into a new, expanded home for the Yankee Air Museum, which would move
from its current location less than two miles away. Included would be the iconic 150-footwide doors through which thousands of bombers left the plant to play their role in winning the war.
Although women performed what had been male-dominated roles in plants all over the country during the war, it was Monroe, who was one of an untold number of women in the Willow Run plant's 40,000-person workforce, who caught the eye of Hollywood
let go once the war was over and the soldiers returned home, they had shown that women were capable of doing jobs that had traditionally been done by only men. An illustrated poster of a determined-looking Rosie the Riveter rolling up her sleeve with the slogan, "We can do it!" became an iconic symbol of female empowerment for American women.
Although many Rosies were
producers casting a "riveter" for a government film about the war effort at home.
The Willow Run factory went back to making automobiles after the war ended, and it did
so for more than a half-century before closing in 2010.
Michael Montgomery, a consultant on the fundraising effort, said it's important to save the plant where Monroe and her fellow workers labored because it is "one of the birthplaces of modern America." In addition to churning out a bomber every hour, he said, workers of different races and sexes worked side-by-side for equal pay — an achievement that would be acknowledged at a reconstituted Yankee Air
Museum.
Montgomery says he is "guardedly optimistic," that the group can raise the rest of the money over the next few weeks, and Norton gave the group "a 75 percent chance of pulling it off."
Meetings with some "major donor prospects" have been scheduled, Montgomery said, and the campaign is hosting two public events over the next eight days designed to generate some cash as well as awareness.

Animal mummies on display in Calif.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Dogs and cats are often beloved family members in current culture, but animals held such a prominent place in ancient Egyptian society that tens of millions were mummified, some going into the pharaohs' tombs to rest eternally in the company of their kings.
members.
Others had their own special cemeteries, where they were buried in coffins as elaborately carved as those of royal family
Dozens of the best surviving specimens have taken up residence at Orange County's Bowers Museum as the centerpiece of "Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt."
There's a dog so well detailed that even its floppy ears are prominent. An ancient cat has been laid to rest with its little paws drawn across its body, creating an image eerily reminiscent of a human's funeral pose.
"It itt shows how closely Egyptians thought of animals on some basic level as being very similar to human beings," said Edward Bleiberg, the exhibition's curator. "The Egyptians believed that animals had souls."

But soulful or not, most people — other than a king or queen — couldn't afford to keep a dog or cat around just for companionship in ancient times, Bleiberg said.
To give museum visitors a better look at what's underneath the wrappings, the mummies have been CT scanned and the scans used to create three-dimensional images.

CAMPUS
Hispanic leadership group creates photos to address discrimination
PAIGE STINGLEY
news@kansan.com
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO) is creating a photo slideshow to highlight some of the discrimination Hispanic students face on campus.
The purpose of the project is to bring awareness to minority discrimination on campus. The images will feature students holding signs with examples of discrimination they have encountered on campus.
"People make jokes or throw around words thinking it's funny, but they don't take into account how it makes minorities feel," said Ramiro Sarmiento, a sophomore from Wichita.
Sarmiento, the president of HALO, brought the idea to the organization after Mililynn Chavez, the secretary, showed him "I, Too, Am Harvard," a recent photo campaign created by Harvard College students. The campaign highlights how black students experience racism on campus.
"Their video was really powerful and I thought it would be cool to do something like that on our own campus," Sarmiento said.
HALO leaders said the goal of their project is to make people recognize the minority discrimination that happens on campus and to encourage
people to check themselves before they make stereotypical comments or jokes.
"It's more than just raising awareness though," said Chavez, a junior from Manhattan. "We want students to gain more knowledge about the Hispanic culture to help get rid of the stereotypes and bad stigmas against Latinos."
HALO's project includes about 15-20 HALO members who each wrote down examples of when they felt stereotyped on campus. The students then held up their signs with their examples for their photos to be taken and put into a slideshow. Sarmiento said that it was not difficult to find members with these experiences because so many of them have faced discrimination from their peers.
Sarmiento is an American citizen, but his first language is Spanish. He finds it offensive when people assume that, because he doesn't speak the same, he isn't American, too.
"One of the most offensive things to me is when people ask me if I was born here [in the United States]," Sarmiento said.
"People think that my Spanish accent means I'm not from here or not a legal citizen," he said.
Another student wrote about a time when she was camping
in Allen Fieldhouse and she overheard a girl in front of her say, "All the Mexicans here are illegal anyway."
For Chavez, it is offensive when people say, "Well, you're not a real Mexican" simply because she doesn't look like a typical Mexican-American.
"I choose to associate myself with the Mexican culture," Chavez said. "People will say something negative about Mexicans and if I say something, they just turn and say, 'Oh we weren't talking about you, just other Mexicans.'"
The photos were taken last Thursday at the HALO weekly meeting. The project is expected to be published via social media within the next week.

Another Apple-Samsung skirmish heads to court
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. The fiercest rivalry in the world of smartphones is heading back to court this week in the heart of the Silicon Valley, with Apple and Samsung accusing each other, once again, of ripping off designs and features.
The trial will mark the latest round in a long-running series of lawsuits between the two tech giants that underscore a much larger concern about what is allowed to be patented.
"There's a widespread suspicion that lots of the kinds of software patents at issue are written in ways that cover more ground than what Apple or any other tech firm actually invented," Notre Dame law professor Mark McKenna said. "Overly broad patents allow companies to block competition."
The latest Apple-Samsung case will be tried less than two years after a federal jury found Samsung was infringing on Apple patents. Samsung was
ordered to pay about $900 million but is appealing and has been allowed to continue selling products using the technology.
Now, jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in another round of litigation, with Apple Inc. accusing Samsung of infringing on five patents on newer devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets. In a counterclaim, Samsung says Apple stole two of its ideas to use on iPhones and iPads.
"Apple revolutionized the market in personal computing devices," Apple attorneys wrote in court filings. "Samsung, in contrast, has systematically copied Apple's innovative technology and products, features and designs, and has deluged markets with infringing devices."
Samsung countered that it has broken technological barriers with its own ultra-slim, lightweight phones.
Samsung has been a pioneer in the mobile device business sector since the inception of
one mobile device industry," Samsung attorneys wrote. "Apple has copied many of Samsung's innovations in its Apple iPhone, iPod, and iPad products."
In the upcoming case, Apple claims Samsung stole technology that allows someone searching for a telephone number or address on the web to tap on the results to call the number or put the address into a map. In addition, Apple says Samsung copied "Slide to Unlock," which allows users to swipe the face of their smartphone to use it.
Samsung countered that Apple is stealing a wireless technology system that speeds up sending and receiving data.
The most attention grabbing claim is Apple's demand that Samsung pay a $40 royalty for each Samsung device running software allegedly conceived by Apple, more than five times more than the amount sought in the previous trial and well above other precedents between smartphone companies.

Arizona loss to Wisconsin leads to student riot
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — Repeating a scene from 13 years ago, several hundred Arizona fans and Tucson police clashed in the streets late Saturday following the University of Arizona basketball team's loss to Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament.
Authorities said 15 people were arrested after fans hurled beer bottles and firecrackers at officers, who then used pepper spray to disperse the crowd. No officers were hurt, but three people who were arrested had minor injuries in the unrest that lasted more than an hour, police said. Meanwhile, officials at the University vowed to punish any students who participated in the fracas.

The clash began after crowds leaving bars and restaurants near campus filled University Boulevard after the game, Tucson police Sgt. Pete Dugan said. He said officers fired pepper spray, pepper canisters and pepper balls to try to get people to leave the business-lined thoroughfare. Arizona lost 64-63 in Anaheim, Calif.
"We've been training for this event for several months now," Dugan said. "It got a little rowdy and it got a little violent, but no businesses suffered any damage."
The melee resembled what happened in 2001, when police arrested 17 people after Arizona lost to Duke in the championship game. But in that clash, a student lost an eye after he was struck by a

beanbag filled with lead birdshot fired by Tucson police and around 22 businesses suffered some damage.
In a statement, Dean of Students Kendal Washington White called Saturday's disturbance "disappointing" and said it was not reflective of the culture of the University of Arizona or Tucson.
Students clashed against Tucson Police officers on University Avenue on Saturday in Tucson, Ariz. after Arizona's loss to Wisconsin 64-63 in the West Region NCAA final.
"Our basketball team had a great season, and they exhibited exceptional class at every turn." White said. "They do not deserve the bad actions of these others."
White said all students who are found to have violated the school's code of conduct "will be held accountable."
Police brought in cruisers and a unit of officers with batons, helmets and face masks to block the street when people started tossing beer bottles, cans and firecrackers, hitting police vehicles and endangering officers.
Most of those arrested were cited and released, and one person was booked into jail. Dugan said.
A witness, David Kitaeff, told The Associated Press that the incident started innocently with people taking photos, but then "people got in cops' faces." He said fans were throwing drink cans at officers, whom he saw marching down University Boulevard.

SAN ANTONIO — Steven Bowditch held on to win the Texas Open in windy conditions Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory and a spot in the Masters.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 30-year-old Australian bogeyed the par-5 18th for a 4-over 76 for a one-stroke victory.
"I'm over the moon. I really can't believe it," said Bowditch, who attempted suicide in 2006 and has fought depression throughout his career.
It was the highest closing score by a winner since Vijay Singh finished with a 4-over 76 in the 2004 PGA Championship, and the highest in a non-major since Fred Couples had a 5-over 77 in the 1983 Kemper Open.
"Every time I got out of check, looking ahead to the Masters and winning golf events and making my speeches before I was finished, I had to pull myself in check every time," said Bowditch, wearing a green shirt. "And it happened a lot today."
Bowditch, based in Dallas entered the week 339th in the world and had only two top-10 finishes in eight years on the tour. He won once on the Australasian circuit and twice on the Web.Com Tour.
"He's been a battler. He's gone through a lot in his life," said John Senden, a fellow Australian who won the Valspar Championship two weeks ago.
Bowditch finished at 8-under 280 at TPC San Antonio and earned $1,116,000.
Senden waited about an hour after his round to shake
"That last putt wasn't his best, but to finish it off he was as cool as a cucumber really," Senden said. "I'm proud to be his mate."
Bowditch's hand.
On the par-3 16th, he got up and down after missing the green. He pushed his drive on the par-4 17th, hit his approach on the green and two-putted, then pulled his tee shot left on 18, recovered with a shot to the fairway and reached the green in three.
Will MacKenzie and Daniel Summerhays tied for second. MacKenzie shot 70, and Summerhays had a 71.
"I just drew back on some experience," Bowditch said.
Chesson Hadley and Ryan Palmer missed chances to get into the Masters through the top 50 in the world ranking. Hadley, the Puerto Rico Open winner, needed at least a sixthplace finish, but closed with an 80 to tie for 56th at 5 over. Palmer needed a top-three finish and had an 82 to also tie for 56th.
MacKenzie made a 13-foot birdie putt on the 17th to pull within a stroke of Bowditch, but the Australian tapped in from 2 feet for his birdie at No. 14 to push the advantage back to two.
Bowditch played the front nine in 3-over 39, making a double bogey on the par-4 fourth. He countered a bogey on the par-3 13th with a birdie on the par-5 14th and made three pars before missing a 3-foot par putt and settling for a bogey on 18.
Matt Kuchar and Andrew Loupe shot 75s to tie for fourth at 6-under.

Kentucky to Final Four after Michigan defeat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Aaron Harrison made a 3-pointer from NBA range with 2.3 seconds left Sunday to lift Kentucky and its freshmen to a 75-72 win over Michigan and a trip to the Final Four.
After Harrison's teammate Julius Randle, inadvertently tipped in the tying shot on Michigan's previous possession, the eighth-seeded Wildcats got the ball to the 6-foot-6 guard, whose twin brother, Andrew, is another of the five freshmen in Kentucky's starting lineup.
Standing a good three feet behind the arc, Harrison elevated over Caris LeVert and took a bit of contact on the arm from the Michigan guard as he shot. No matter. The shot rattled in, and for the second straight game in the Midwest Regional, Harrison had the goahead points in a tense game for the Wildcats (28-10).
In this one, he scored all 12 of his points off four 3-pointers over the last 8:05.
since another well-known group, the Fab Five of Michigan, did it in 1992.
"I'm gonna see everyone in Dallas this year," coach John Callipari said, with his version of a Texas twang, as he addressed the crowd before the nets came down.
"I hit a couple before that, so coach said to get the shot we were looking for," Harrison said. "They put it in my hands and I wanted to deliver for them out there."
Nik Stauskas missed a half-court heave at the buzzer for second-seeded Michigan (28-9), and moments later, Harrison was under a dog pile — or make that a puppy pile. This is the first all-freshman starting lineup to make the Final Four
"They put it in my hands and I wanted to deliver for them out there."

points for the Wolverines, who finished a win shy of their second straight Final Four.
Randle had 16 points and 11 rebounds for his 24th double-double and was named the region's most outstanding player.
But he was just one of the freshmen stars for the Wildcats Sunday.
While Harrison was being completely shut down early, it was unheralded Marcus Lee keeping the Wildcats in the game.
Lee, one of the six McDonald's All-American freshmen on Calipari's roster, had scored a total of nine points since the beginning of January. But he
got minutes that would have normally gone to the injured Willie Cauley-Stein, and finished with 10 points and eight rebounds. Eight of those points came on put-back dunks that were part of Kentucky's 18 offensive rebounds.
Harrison's first 3 gave Kentucky a 58-55 lead and was part of an 11-0 run that put the Wolverines in catch-up mode, behind 62-55 with 6:30 left.
They fought back, and during a nine-possession stretch of sublime basketball that covered more than four minutes, each team scored every time they got the ball.
The first stop in the sequence gave the Wolverines the ball with about a minute left, trailing 72-70.
Stauskas missed a layup and a 3-pointer and Derrick Walton then missed an open 3. But the fourth attempt went in with 31 seconds left and got credited to Jordan Morgan on a scramble under the basket, though it was Randle's hand that tipped the ball in.
Calipari called a timeout. Michigan burned a foul. And the endgame started with 10 seconds left. The ball went to Harrison and it was clear he was going to take the shot. He spotted up from about 25 feet, and after he hit, he walked backward calmly before being hugged by Randle and Dakari Johnson.
Moments later, Kentucky was celebrating, preparing for the program's 16th trip to college basketball's biggest stage.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant had 31 points and nine assists to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Utah Jazz 116-96 on Sunday afternoon.
NBA
Durant scored at least 25 points for the 38th consecutive game, the longest streak since Michael Jordan did it in 40 straight games for the Chicago Bulls during the 1986-87 season.
Durant leads Thunder to success over Jazz
It matched the fewest points the Thunder have allowed in any quarter this season and was the lowest for the Jazz in a first quarter this season. Utah missed the NBA low for an opening quarter this season by making a basket with 19.5 seconds left.
Russell Westbrook scored 19 points, Serge Ibaka had 17 points and Caron Butler added 15 for the Thunder, who have won six of seven. Oklahoma City shot 55 percent from the field and made 11 of 18 3-pointers and 23 of 26 free
Durant was fouled on a 3-pointer with 4:02 left in the third quarter and was awarded three free throws. He scored his 24th point on the first one, and the crowd started buzzing before the second one. He also made the third to give the Thunder an 84-56 lead.
throws.
Enes Kanter had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Richard Jefferson scored 17 points and Gordon Hayward added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Jazz, who have lost four in a row.
Utah trailed 11-0 before Jefferson finally scored with 7:34 left in the first quarter. Oklahoma City led 26-9 at the end of the quarter.
Oklahoma City led 59-40 at halftime, and it might have been a larger lead if Jefferson hadn't dropped in 15 points in the first half, well above his season average of 10.2 points per game. Durant scored 18 points in the first half on 6-for-8 shooting and helped the Thunder shoot 57 percent before the break.
Hayward's first basket came with 3.21 left in the first half. Even
with his 3-point play, the Jazz still trailed 49-30.

Protacio extends his on-base streak to 38
Junior outfielder Michael Suiter battles during his at bat in the first inning. Suiter was eventually walked
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
a leadoff man's job is simple. Get on base at all costs. Whether it's finding a gap for a hit, wearing a fastball at the shoulder or working the count to a walk, a leadoff batter in baseball understands what's at stake when he walks up to the plate and junior shortstop Justin Protacio takes that job to heart.
"I am still aggressive," Protacio said. "If the pitch is there I will swing, if not I will take a walk. I am just trying to do my job and get on base."
Dating back to last year, Protacio came into the Oklahoma series with a very phenomenal streak. For 35 straight games, Protacio has found a way to get on base. The series against Oklahoma proved to be no different for the 5-foot-6-inch left-handed batter.
"He is one of the better college players in the country," said coach Ritch Price. "You see that little guy who stands 5-foot-6-inches and wonder what he is doing playing at the
division one field, but he plays every day at a really high level."
In game one on Friday night, Protacio extended his on-base streak to 36 with a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first. On Saturday the streak increased to 37 with a single to the left before stealing second.
Then on Sunday, Protacio made it 38 in a row after four consecutive balls to draw a walk. He was later scored in the inning by a Michael Suiter single to take an early 1-0 lead in yesterday's matchup against the Sooners.
Protacio's ability to get on base doesn't just stop after he extends his streak in the first inning. In every one of his at bats Protacio's mindset is that he will get on base.
After blowing a 3-1 lead in the top of the ninth in Sunday's contest, the Jayhawks needed some magic in the home half to avoid the sweep.
Following a Tommy Mirabelli strikeout, Protocio took the plate with that leadoff mindset. He worked through a full count before taking first on a walk and was scored by a Dakota Smith walk-off double to beat the Sooners 4-3.
"Tommy struck out before me; I knew the pitcher wasn't throwing that hard, so I just kept fouling them off until he started throwing balls to get on base," Protocio said. "As long as I get on base the guys will score behind me."
Senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge, who played against Protocacio in high school in Hawaii, enjoys having Protocacio on his team for a change.
"He is a really scrappy guy," Eldredge said. "I played against him in high school. He was the same way, the pesiest guy I have ever played against. He is always getting on base. That's what you want from your leadoff."
No one knows when the streak will ultimately end, if ever. For now the Jayhawks will take pride in having one of the best leadoff hitters in college baseball, and enjoy the phenomenal 38 game and counting ride.

Kansas secures victories at first outdoor meet
TRACK AND FIELD
BEN BURCH sports@kansan.com
The Kansas track and field teams kicked off the 2014 outdoor season on a high note last weekend at the 87th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays with a handful of event victories and even a school record. The meet took place from Wednesday to Saturday at the Mike A. Myers Stadium track in Austin, Texas.
Junior Lindsay Vollmer was among the Jayhawk athletes to see the winner's circle with an event title in the heptathlon. In her first heptathlon since she took the NCAA title in the event last June, Vollmer posted 5,640 points in the event, which not only was enough to give her the event
title, but it was the highest point total posted by a heptathlete in the NCAA so far this season.
41
On the men's side, junior Michael Stigler was also able to claim an event title, winning the Texas Relays 400-meter hurdles race for the second-straight year. The two-time Big 12 champion in the event was able to finish the race in 50.08 seconds, which is the fastest time posted in the event so far this season.
The school record set over the weekend was done so by the women's 4x800 meter relay team. The quartet of senior Diamond Dixon, freshman Whitney Adams, sophomore Hannah Richardson and sophomore Rhavean
King passed the baton around the track in 8:50.50, besting the previous school record in the event that was set back in 1980 at the Drake Relays. Although the time was able to capture the school record, it was not good enough to win this year's Texas Relays as they finished in fourth place.
The track and field teams will split up this weekend to compete in a pair of meets. While the distance runners will head to Palo Alto, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational Friday, April 4, the rest of the team will head to Baton Rouge, L.A., Saturday, April 5 to compete in the Battle on the Bayou.

He could have transferred when academic sanctions barred the Huskies from the NCAA tournament his junior season. But the guard wanted to pay back the school for the joy of a national title his freshman year, for his struggles as a sophomore.
NEW YORK — Shabazz Napier owed UConn.
UConn upsets Michigan St. 60-54,back to Final Four
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Napier sure did that Sunday, carrying UConn back to the Final Four in front of thousands of roaring Huskies fans at Madison Square Garden. He scored 17 of his 25 points in the second half in a 60-54 upset of fourth-seeded Michigan State.
The East Regional's most outstanding player hit three huge free throws with 30.6 seconds left, making clutch shot after clutch shot just as Kemba Walker did when
Napier was a freshman. The Huskies (30-8) rallied from a nine-point second-half deficit to become the first No. 7 seed to reach the Final Four since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
"His will to win — you could just see it," said Gary Harris, who led Michigan State with 22 points. "He wasn't going to let his team lose."
The Spartans' seniors become the first four-year players recruited by Tom Izzo to fail to make a Final Four.
"As the game got closer and closer to ending, it was on my mind a lot, every huddle," said big man Adreian Payne, who had 13 points and nine rebounds but was repeatedly pushed to the perimeter by UConn's defenders.
The undersized Huskies matched Michigan State's physical play box-out for box-out, holding the Spartans (29-9) to just six offensive rebounds and six points in the paint.
"We're physical, too," said second-year coach Kevin Ollie, who is now 4-0 in the NCAA tournament after replacing mentor Jim Calhoun. "Don't get it mixed up. We are predators out there."
UConn dared Michigan State to shoot 3-pointers, and the Spartans nearly made enough, going 11 for 29 from behind the arc. Trailing 51-49 with more than two minutes left, Michigan State had a chance to tie or take the lead. Payne threw the ball away, and Napier drilled a jumper on the other end.
The Huskies won their third national title in 2011,but they were ineligible for last year's tournament because of previous low scores on the NCAA's academic progress measure.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I love watching these guys play baseball. They have fun, they care about the game, they respect the game. They care about one another. They interact with the fan well, I'd like to think that because of those ingredients, they'll be rewarded."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Last time Royals had back-toback winning seasons?
A: 1988, 1989 — CBSSports
THE MORNING BREW
Royals' season begins, fans hope for chance in playoffs
Last season was monumental for the Royals, but as the 2014 season begins today, fans remain hopeful that this year will mark the team's entrance into the playoffs
There was much contention when Dayton Moore received a two-year extension, prolonging the well-publicized process that the Royals underwent. The team revamped its farm system and spent more money internationally and in free agency.
Moore has a chance to exhibit all of the work he's done in the past eight seasons he's spent at Royal Way. Moore has fielded by far his most respected team and the AL Central is more open than last year. The Royals have one of the better young pitchers in baseball in Yordano Ventura and enhanced its offense more than Detroit did in the offseason.
While Detroit got rid of Prince Fielder and essentially downgraded its offense and still is devoid of a capable hitting shortstop after its starter Jose Iglesias got hurt, the Royals added Omar Infante who is a drastic improvement over the atrocities of Chris Getz and Elijah Johnson. The Royals community rejoiced when the second base duo was released from the team.
By Connor Oberkrom sports@kansan.com
With a small market team not having superior advantage, fortitude is part of the formula and things have to turn in your favor. Baseball is more rampant in that aspect than other sports. The Royals still have three major flaws in their lineup in Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar and Mike Moustakas. It needs two of those guys to at least be average hitters. You can have two holes in your lineup, but three is a lot for a contending team.
Also, it added Noki Aoki who embellishes the Royals top-notch defensive outfield and adds another speedster to its roster. Aoki has 50 stolen bases in the last two seasons.
The pitching is what helped make the Royals a contender last season, but now it remains one of the team's biggest question marks. While James Shields remains a quality number one starter, the drop-off after that is significant. Jeremy Guthrie and Bruce Chen, who are not notoriously groundball pitchers, experienced a lot of batted ball in play. The defense can only sustain that so long. While Jason Vargas was a quality signing,
his resume is closer to one of a number four starter. Also, with Ervin Santana gone it leaves a huge void that Ventura has the ability to fill and could make or break the lunge into the playoffs.
Ventura can gun it, topping out at 102 mph, but velocity can sometimes get topsy-turvy as has been the case with Danny Duffy in some of his outings. The scouts, however, rave that his is one of the bookstores throwing hurle
of the hardest throwing hurlers out there. The concern is if he can handle a full-season workload.
This year is the tipping point for
THE BREW
With Shields' contract up after this year, the stakes reach an unfamiliar territory for Moore and Royals fans. The Myers-Shields trade all was based on these two years and made for the purpose of entering the playoffs. It wasn't to make the Royals respectable but to cut down on the mocking of the young developing talent that gets "traded away for nothing." The Royals have become a punchline in their rock bottom years, but now look to taste some real baseball glory for the first time since 1985.
Royals fandom. Everyone is invested in this team, gearing all their attention toward this season. While making the playoffs is something unordinary for Royals fans, not making the playoffs would put a huge dent
in investment in the team down the road.
Dayton Moore has faced warranted criticism with his many questionable moves, but he can mask all that with one playoff appearance. After all of the bleakness suffered as a small market team, this upcoming season can make all the difference.

COMMENTARY
Piché struggles against Oklahoma
WIGGINS PRESS CONFERENCE
Follow @KansanSports for updates from the press conference at 2 p.m.
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
Well, Sunday came, and with it the opportunity to avoid the sweep against Oklahoma. And for eight innings it seemed like the Jayhawks would do just that.
At least that was until closer Jordan Piché took the mound
After Frank Duncan's eight innings and 120 pitches, there shouldn't have been much worry that Piché would finish out the game with a 3-1 lead. He owns one of Kansas' most talented arms and has demonstrated it over and over again.
— the otherwise calming presence who lately has been anything but.
The Kansas baseball team has figured out its rallying cry this season. Really, it's more about survival than anything else. No matter what happens during the week, the Jayhawks know that the final game is theirs.
"It's all about Sunday," they shout in the clubhouse.
Except he hasn't been doing that lately. On Sunday the Jayhawks were supposed to own, yet Piche' nearly gave the game away. If Kansas is going to sustain its early success, getting senior-transfer Piche back to form has got to be the top priority.
"I have a pretty good feeling of my body," Piché said. "I can definitely feel it was a little off today."
"He's got too good of stuff to be struggling like that," coach Ritch Price said.
His breaking ball hasn't had as much depth and he's releasing his fastball too early, according to Price. And both issues have made it harder for Piché to command the ball.
Kansas has a month and a half left before the Big 12 Tournament to get Piché throwing at the level he was when the conference named him Newcomer of the Week three times earlier this year. And if it does, Sunday won't be the only game it's all about.
But on Sunday the struggle didn't stop the Jayhawks. Dakota Smith belted a shot off the left field wall for a game-winning double in the bottom of the ninth, giving Kansas a 4-3 victory.
But even relieving the closer of his duties might not be enough. Price said what he's seen mechanically has been every bit as troubling as Piché's mindset.
"We've got to get his mindset right to where he doesn't feel like every pitch is thrown with the game on the line," Price said. "I may change his role here for a little bit to try to take that mental pressure off him."
It was Piche's fourth straight blown save and fifth this year. At the start of the season closing out games was a bright spot for Kansas. Now it's looking more like a black hole.
It was the opposite of a scene that played out half an inning earlier where Piché gave up three hits, one walk and two runs — the second of which came off a throwing error by catcher Ka'iana Eldredge.

Jayhawks end series with win against Sooners

The wind had been howling all game. Any ball hit to right field was caught by the wind and died almost immediately. But, if you could find the right spot in left, the ball would carry.
That's just what junior designated hitter Dakota Smith did in the home half of the ninth during Sunday's game.
"It felt real good," Smith said. "I had kind of been struggling all weekend. It was a great confidence builder. I knew I had a good piece of it, the wind grabbed it and carried it over his head."
Smith entered the ninth inning 0-4 until he sent a double over the left fielder's head. Smith's hit helped avoid a sweep from the Oklahoma Sooners and lead Kansas to the 4-3 victory.
Senior right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan got the nod for the Jayhawks. Entering the
I felt great out there today," Duncan said. "I could have went nine, but Jordan [Piché] was our guy last year, so we're going to ride him."
day, Duncan had an ERA of 1.79, and improved it to 1.69 on the season.
Piché got two quick outs before things started to fall apart. Oklahoma strung together a few hits and scored on a throwing error by senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge.
Kansas rallied in the ninth and was able to put up a fourth run after leading most of the game 3-1. Junior outfielder Michael Suiter continued his impressive offensive campaign as he went 3-5 with three singles and an RBI.
"Jordan and I are going to sit down and talk this week," coach Ritch Price said. "He's got too good of stuff to be blowing saves like this."
Kansas took a 3-1 lead into the ninth inning and called on 2013 Big 12 newcomer of the lordan Piché.
The Jayhawks came into Sunday's game after losing twice to the Sooners on Friday and Saturday.
"These series was dominated by pitching," Price said. "Both of our first two games could have gone different ways. We could easily be talking about us getting a sweep today."
Oklahoma rallied late in the first game of the series on Friday as they handed Piché another blown save and his second loss of the season.
"It's a mental thing." Price explained. "I may switch up his role to give him a bit of a mental rest."
Kansas' bats were silenced again on Saturday as the Sooners pitching staff allowed the Jayhawks to record only five hits.
Kansas left a combined 19 runners on base in their first two losses of the series. Junior right fielder Connor McKay, who leads the Big 12 in RBIs, hasn't driven home a run since March 22.
"Our right handers had been struggling this series," Price said. "It was a good day to get guys like McKay a rest and put some lefties in the lineup."
Junior third baseman Aaron Hernandez carried momentum from the Creighton game into the weekend. He drove in Kansas' lone run on Friday with an RBI double.
The Jayhawks were unable to do what they've been doing so well this season in the series against Oklahoma. Kansas had been hitting .301 with two outs and hadn't been leaving many men on base. Kansas scored just two runs on Friday and Saturday.
Kansas needed to get a stop on Sunday, and Frank Duncan has been able to do just that this season.
"The way I look at it we have three Friday night guys on our team this year," Duncan said. "Skip has given each one of us great confidence for our starts. I got the call this year on Sunday. It helps being a senior and having a lot of experience. Every one of us gives you a chance to win. You never want to get swept, we needed to flush the last two games from our memory, it's a new day and a new jet to fly."
Junior shortstop Justin Protacio reached base safely in all three games this series, extending his on base streak to 38 straight games. He scored two runs in the series finale.
"People look at Protocacio and his 5-foot-6-inch frame and wonder what he's doing on a division one baseball diamond." Price said. "But he's one of the best college baseball players out there."
Kansas is now 3-3 in the Big 12 and is gearing up for a series against Kansas State in Manhattan this weekend.
"This win was crucial." Price said. "It's a two game swing, if we lose, we're a game under .500, and now we're right there and ready to make a push."

Kansas sweeps series against Oklahoma State

For the first time in five years, Kansas opened up conference play with a win. Kansas didn't win just the first game either. They swept the series.
In the first game of the series, it took an extra inning and one RBI from freshman outfielder Katelyn Schumacher to make the difference. Kansas (27-10, 3-0 Big 12) defeated Oklahoma State (19-14, 0-3 Big 12) in a low scoring affair on Friday 1-0. Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Kessler tallied 13 strikeouts. During the series, Kessler threw 13 strikeouts in both of her starts and five strikeouts in the game she came in to relieve. Over the season, Kessler has thrown 202 strikeouts. She came into the series just two strikeouts behind the national leader.
In the second game of the series, Kansas and Oklahoma
State were deadlocked at zero until sophomore infielder Chaley Brickey hit a home run out of left field in the bottom of the fifth inning. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Kansas scored three more runs, with a RBI going to senior infielder Ashley Newman and two RBI going to senior outfielder Alex Jones.
In the third game of the series, all the scoring came late in the game. Brickey hit a single in the fifth inning, bringing in freshman infielder Taylor McElhaney. Oklahoma scored on an error by Newman. That tied it all up and the game remained scoreless until the ninth inning when McElhaney came home on a wild pitch.
