In an effort to eliminate the use of non-academic Internet resources on campus, the University of Kansas technology board processed a bill on Monday establishing a restricted Wi-Fi service for all KU students.
Starting in the fall of 2014, students will be required to purchase data plans in order to use the Internet via University channels, including ethernet and wireless access.
Plans will range from 500
to 5000 minutes and will cost five cents per minute. Students can purchase multiple plans throughout the semester through the optional fee page on the school's Enroll and Pay website.
tweet they send out."
"After using back door analytics to see how students spend most of their time when using campus Wi-Fi, it became increasingly clear that little to no school work is done during common class hours, and even less in the libraries after," Tech board president Dan Arnold said. "It has been my stated goal since I took this position
to focus solely on academics, and to see so few students hold up their end of the bargain is appalling."
The swift action comes after three students were expelled for using their cellphones
"Professors can rest assured: If their students are using computers during class, they'll be paying for every tweet they send."
DAN ARNOLD Tech board president
"Now our professors can rest assured: If their students are using computers during class, they'll be paying for every
during a midterm to Snapchat the test's answers to each other. While administrators can't completely curb this use of
non-academic websites, the hope is that students will have to budget their minutes and seriously think about what they use the Internet for.
Kansas students are calling the move communistic and have started advocacy groups to fight the rule, such as Students Hate Internet Tracking.
"It's not the student's fault that these professors and teaching assistants are boring as hell," S.H.I.T. member Zavie Goldenberg said. "We fully understand that we are paying for these courses, however what we as students take away
from these classes aren't the lessons learned, but the Buzz-Feed quizzes completed. Is it more important to learn the economic history of Europe or which Game Of Thrones character you resemble most? That's a question for the student body to decide."
Members of KU's technology board feel quite comfortable that the new campus-wide rule won't be challenged saying.

'House of Cards' inspires murder on Wescoe Beach

news@kansan.com
Police are questioning a student, whose name is not being released, for a "House of Cards"-inspired homicide on campus. A male student was seen pushing a female student in front of a campus bus Monday. She was pronounced dead on the scene.
"I must get to the top," the student said when asked why he did it. "Zoe was in the way."
Authorities are still investigating the murder, although there were three witnesses who saw the attack clearly on Jayhawk Boulevard. One was a hotdog salesman who declined to comment.
"I just saw him running down the stairs with a crazy look in his eye," another witness said. "He was specifically targeting a female student who was waiting for the bus then he just pushed her right in front of it. It was so quick and non-chalant."
火
The suspect's lawyer stated publicly that in the event of a trial, his client will plea insanity, saying he has multiple
personality disorder. State psychiatrists say the suspect said he wanted to "take the Vice Presidency," and are unsure if these thoughts are related to the attack. Full psychological evaluations of the suspect are still in progress.
"This is the first Netflix related incident we have seen in the state," a psychiatrist said. "We've seen reports from the coasts recently, but we were not prepared for this in Lawrence."
The Lawrence Police Department and the KU Public Safety Office are organizing a task force to help prevent any other "House of Cards"-related attacks. Authorities are concerned similar attacks may see an increase.
"We have heard threats of ricin poisoning among cigarette smokers, but we were convinced this was just a hoax," a Lawrence police officer explained. "Now we might need to look into other avenues of investigation — mostly likely related to 'Breaking Bad'."

Netflix binging threatens health
CHER HOROWITZ news@kansan.com
Her eyes began to glaze over as the dimly lit red screen flashed, "8 seconds until next episode." She couldn't remember the last time she showered or her last encounter with another human. It didn't matter.
The only thing that mattered in this moment was Olivia Pope's fabulous white ensemble and her juicy affair with the president.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever reenter the real world," said senior Alexandra Johnson while she kept her eyes steady on her laptop screen. "But then again, Netflix binging is easier than job hunting. Maybe this can be my job?"
Popular dramas "Breaking Bad," "Mad Men" and "Scandal" top the list, while Netflix originals "Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards" fill out the top five.
Johnson's rhetorical question illuminates what many researchers are calling a modern-day phenomenon. A recent study released from the International Association of Addiction Studies showed that the so-called "millennial" generation has fallen into the detrimental and potentially threatening habit of binging on television shows.
"Sometimes I pretend I'm Olivia Pope and her words
are my words. Her thoughts are my thoughts, ya know?" Johnson mumbles as the opening sequence to yet another episode plays in the background.
Before her Netflix subscription, Johnson hoped to attend an Ivy League law school after graduation and eventually run for political office. Her common pastimes included studying, spending time at the student recreational facility and enjoying her morning cup of coffee. Now, Johnson isn't even sure if she's an enrolled college student.
"Yeah, whatever," she said.
"Can you just like, stop asking questions? I haven't seen this episode yet."
The study also reports that Netflix binging has severe hygiene-related consequences. TV-bingers are at a greater risk for back pain, neck pain and hair loss. Similarly, those most susceptible are at the highest risk of losing communication skills and even basic social cues.
"It's as if they've developed into a new human breed," said sociology professor Daniel Lindhaugen. "Maybe in 20 to 30 years, they'll regain the ability to intermingle with society again. But until then, I hope these disgusting humans stay on their couches forever."
Greene said television viewers have entered a new era.
Netflix lobbyist and vehement binge advocate Monica
"I wouldn't be surprised if people stop getting married and we stop upholding our democratic processes in this country," Greene said. "Who cares if we sink into a black hole of economic crisis and perpetual bad hygiene? As long as I get to watch terrible movies no one cares about and binge on Grey's Anatomy until my eyes bleed, I'm happy."
Greene and her colleagues encourage the widespread use of other online television streaming accounts, such as Hulu Plus and HBO Go. In fact, the more accounts a viewer can maintain, the better
Johnson's mind grows numb to reality as she slips back into another Netflix marathon. She quickly loses the ability to form sentences, and it's clear she isn't moving from her couch any time soon.
"Mmmmm ok yeah," she said. "Over it."
"All I'm saying is, if you want to watch 'True Detective,' 'Game of Thrones' and 'Saturday Night Live' all while illegally streaming 'Sex and the City,' do it," she said. "We've relied too long on physical activity, familial ties and intellectual stimulation to find satisfaction in our life. It's time to break free from these restrictions and really live."

Jealous student starts @KUManBoobs account
MILA DROGO news@kansan.com
Do you love social media? Do you appreciate the male body? Would you call yourself a man boob fanatic? If you answered yes to all three of these questions, it's my pleasure to tell you that your prayers have been answered — by @KUManBoobs, a new student-controlled Twitter account.
When the popular Twitter account @KUBoobs began gaining followers and getting national attention, an anonymous student started getting jealous.
"I mean, yeah, boobs are great and all, but most just fell flat chested" the student said. "I just had this moment — it
was like Jesus reached down and whispered to me — and I thought, 'why don't I start something even sexier?'
@KUManBoobs was born. The account gained 6 million followers in the first hour it was registered. It had just one photo of a hairy male chest with two substantially sized flabby pecs pushed together in a provocative manner. Within a day, there were 300,000 submissions of pure man-boob glory.
When asked about the account's viral popularity, "duh" was all the account holder had to say.
One student, who wishes to remain anonymous, was brave enough to admit to sending in a photo of himself.
"It's a pretty well-known fact
that my boobs are the best on campus, and better than any lady's" he said. "I'm also fueled by my own ego. I would have been an idiot not to post [the picture]."
The student said he has received more than 500 hookup requests since posting the photo a week ago. He would not reveal verbally if he had accepted any, but he did reply with a side wink.
University administration is aware of the issue, but has decided not to fight back.
"It's a violation of the Student Code of Conduct Article 1.23.4.567.8.90, but really, who cares?" said a prominent campus figurehead, who wishes not to be named. "I've actually set up an alert on my phone to forward me the best photos when they're posted. It just makes my day significantly better."
The student behind the @KUManBoobs is picky about the photos he retweets, and requests people don't bother them with low-quality photos.
"If you don't have any hair on your chest, or if you have less than an inch of cleavage, lets be honest, I'm not going to retweet you," the student said. "To all you men with boobs out there, step up your game."
"It's revolutionary. I feel like it's the best thing that's ever happened to this campus," the student said. "It's just the tits, man."
One student fanatic has made it a priority to favorite every @KUManBoobs retweet.

Noting the increasing temperatures and rapidly aligning stars, local medieval re-enactment guild The Houses of the Fallen is preparing for its annual full-scale battle on the turf at Memorial Stadium.
The Houses of the Fallen, a group made up of nearly 400 fully armored members, announced its plans for the revival of ancient warfare with a series of tweets.
"FINALLY gave us the insurance forms!! Get ready for a BLOODBATH," the account @HousesOfTheFallen tweeted.
The actual casualty rate is quite reasonable, said Landon
"Wolfbiter" Richardson, a senior from Mishawaka, Ind. Richardson started the group based on an online forum devoted to the popular medieval video game, Runescape.
"Why do we spend all day perfecting our avatars and writing backstory for our characters when we can't live it?" Richardson said.
The Houses of the Fallen grew quickly, gaining over five hundred members since its founding in 2012. Most of those members will participate in the battle on April 13.
"We've got enough for a damn maelstrom of guts," said Richardson.

The annual battle has traditionally been held in an un-
Witherspoon joined the club after finding its webpage while researching schools.
"I saw that page and thought: I'd pay $10,000 a year to do that alone," Witherspoon said.
Witherspoon boasts a collection of more than 25 pieces of medieval weaponry and
armor. She stores them in a U-Haul facility that The Houses of the Fallen pays for with membership fees.
Witherspoon was intimidated when she walked into her first Houses meeting.
"I think Landon was in his full suit and I almost had a panic attack right there. I loved it. I was hooked," Witherspoon said.
Witherspoon claims to have

Social media improves personal relationships
Today's media landscape has become an ever-widening
Today's media landscape has become an ever-widening expanse of rapid information exchanges, transactions and virtual relationships. In fact, the online media landscape is so vast that scientists say it is really a sort of media savannah, or media Great Plains, populated by media buffalo and other herds of grazing media animals.
Let's face it: Grandma has an iPad now, and Grandpa is just a month or two away from getting bored with whatever he's working with (probably Grandma's old Kindle). He's going to need an iPad too, and pretty soon they will both know when you so much as fart or burn a piece of toast on a Monday morning. That's because you'll probably tweet, "Farted and burned my toast at same time... #smh
CaseOfTheMondays."
But, on a more serious note, when it comes to Internet media, almost nothing is more hotly debated than social media's effect on our interpersonal relationships. Critics assert that platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Vine are turning us into narcissistic selfie-taking, duck-face-making, hashtagging robots without attention spans.
They'd like you to believe that social media monetizes life events, turning them into a currency of documented moments that we share electronically in return for the self-esteem crack buzz when people click "like," "star," "favorite," add comments and so on.
I'm here to tell you, however, that not only is social media totally
freakin' awesome for our interpersonal relationships, it is actually making them stronger one selfie at a time.
By Forrest Appleton opinion@kansan.com
In fact, with each selfie you take, and every time you tweet, "Ugh, so bored in the lib right now," you're one step closer to making your online self a reality. Eventually, you will become a glorious, pre-edited example of walking social perfection.
Just imagine the possibilities: What if you were a living Facebook profile picture? The standard campus pass-by drill of "make eye contact, look up and to the side as if checking for falling bird crap, nod, mumble greeting or look away" would never be the
same.
Instead, you'd be mesmerized by the other person's glowing complexion, sweet aviator shades and awesome background scenery — which is definitely way pretier than yours, by the way. As they approach, you'd "like" their social persona in the form of a high five, followed by mutual yells of, "So hot!" and "Stunning!' Then, on the walk-away, you'd make a mental note to definitely shout two or three words at them on their birthday.
Taking a step further into this hypothetical world of tangible social media, hashtags would become acceptable in academic writing and the @ symbol would preclude any spoken name. The era of long-winded dissertations would be gone. A treatise on the
psychology behind Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing would read: #Lordknows I'mAVoodooChild. Thanksgiving day conversations would sound like, "Hey @UncleFred, could you please pass the gravity? #DryTaters." Things would be so much easier!
If this all sounds a little far-fetched, that's probably because you're one of the poor souls who's still stuck in the age of well-thought-out communication. Well, you just keep churning the butter down on the farm with Irv and Agnes. The rest of us will continue to Tinder/tweet/pin/Instagram our way to a more perfect world.

ENVIRONMENT
Green space, aka wasted space, needs to go now
The Lawrence campus is situated on 1,000 acres of land. Roughly 200 of these acres are designated green space, meaning the land is free of construction. According to the International Panel On Undeveloped Land (IPUL), every acre of earth that remains undeveloped represents roughly $100,000 in lost revenue every year. That means the University stands to gain $20,000,000 each year if every acre of remaining green space on campus is developed with a new academic building, arena or parking lot.
The extensive amount of green space, specifically in Marvin Grove, represents failed economic opportunity. Because the most important thing in this country is continued economic growth, the University has a patriotic obligation to eliminate wasted green areas and begin new construction or industrial projects.
Marvin Grove alone represents a potential economic gain of $5,000,000 per year. Because of the original documents that set aside Marvin Grove for conservation in 1878, only memorials can be built in the area. Thanks to the foresight of the writers of this document,

opinion@kansan.com
the memorial loophole allowed the construction of Memorial Stadium, a beautiful concrete stadium that is half full at every home football game eight times a year. The stadium was a step in the right direction, but now the university needs to pursue more memorials for the sake of the economy. We need more concrete and asphalt in order to turn the barren wasteland of Marvin Grove into something enjoyable for all society, like a water park or more parking.
A second development option for Marvin Grove is a hydraulic fracturing operation. Few people know that the University is situated on a goldmine of natural gas deposits. The university, with the help of geology students and engineering majors, can use the Grove as a practice field for fracking. The grove is a perfect location for fracking because of nearby Potter Lake. The lake is an ideal storage area for the main byproduct of fracking; contaminated water containing heavy metals and low levels of radiation. Despite environmental extremist's outcries, the water is perfectly safe to swim in
unless you are under the age of twelve, pregnant or think you may be pregnant, taking allergy pills, or a man. In addition to giving our students experience in drilling techniques, the University's annual revenue will increase drastically. In order to appease the original documents that wrongfully wish to conserve the grove, the new fracking operation can be named as a memorial to former student, Paul Rudd, whose acting career died after the 2013 release of Anchorman Two: The Legend Continues.
Some say Marvin Grove must be preserved for its natural beauty and biodiversity. To that I ask, "What do you value more, a tree and some nice grass or hours of fun and chicks in bikinis at a water park? Would you rather have chirping birds and rabid squirrels or America's energy independence? More importantly, what is most valuable to our nation, the environment or the economy?" I think we all know the answer. Yes to money and exploitation and no to natural rights and conservation.

What's one change you'd like to see happen at KU next semester?
KU to turn libraries into casinos to help grades
The libraries at KU are an important source for academic improvement, yet they are more often a place of misery for students. People constantly complain about how miserable it is to spend time in the libraries.
What if we could turn this negative into a positive? I think that the potential of the libraries is not being fully realized. We need to convert the libraries into casinos.

Harrow-Metropolis University (HMU) initiated a change in 2012 that converted an old campus building into a casino for its students.
The results were incredible; enrollment nearly doubled and the average GPA rose nearly 6.9%. Profits from public visitation lowered tuition costs nearly $1,000 per student.

The libraries at KU are already hubs for gambling. Students commonly bet on their grades and test scores, especially during finals week. Regulating the activity would benefit the students and the university. This is because happy students are productive students.
Science agrees. The University of Glasgow Gambling Research Group states that "a student with a $100 or higher bet on their test score is three times as likely to show improved test scores versus those who did

The economic benefits would also be outstanding. It would bring in new jobs and commerce for Lawrence. Tuition would be lowered.
Some folks might oppose this change because they believe our libraries are important learning resources. I can't say I disagree without breaking my poker face. The mental and economic benefits alone won't raise academic performance.

Relationship makeovers for every couple
CHAMBREY THOMAS/KANSAN
Whether you're in an open relationship or not, actively seeking partnership or tightly tied down to one boring and unfulfilling relationship, these tips can spice up the romance and maybe kick you out of your dating rut.
Spice up your night
FLYNN GREY III
entertain@kansan.com
Wondering how to take things to the next level with your cuddle muffin? Here are four hot tips that will spice up the romance and drive your partner crazy.
1. Try some sexy roleplay
Nothing makes your significant other (SO) feel better than dressing up in their cutest outfit and being ogled by everybody in sight. But why stop there? Bring your sugar bear's fantasies to life with roleplay. You can't go wrong with the sexy school teacher fantasy or the intrusive cop. If you're feeling really bold you can give the school mascot fantasy a try!
2. Tell them exactly what you want
People don't want to waste their time trying to figure out exactly what you want in bed, so be sure to tell them! You can compare your love monkey's technique with your past lovers on a regular basis to let them know how they stack up. Your main squeeze will appreciate your honesty and will be thrilled to learn that move that your ex always used.
3. Stimulate all the senses
Touching is overrated. Studies show that a human being's sense of smell is closest to their pleasure receptors. Your honey bun's nose won't know what hit them when you come home with a sexy new cologne or perfume. To really drive your sex kitten wild, douse yourself with the exact scent their mom wore when they were a young'n.
4. Bring food into the bedroom
Like scent, taste is another underutilized sense in lovemaking. You two will need your energy for an all-night session, so why not incorporate food? Go with the classic chocolate-covered strawberries, or mix things up by sharing a rack of baby back ribs. No plates necessary!
Game changers for the first date
ZOE STARWOOD
entertain@kansan.com
Dear students of KU
I know that all of you want to be a date magnet,but not many people will be honest and tell you what they really want.I'm here to set the record straight for what young people crave on a first date. These five tips will guide you to the best night of your life.
1. Never break eye contact
Nothing says, "I want you now," like eye contact. So at dinner, be sure to initiate the first move by making it a secret staring competition across the table. It's important that your date doesn't know there's a competition, so you can win. For example, when you're reaching for the bread basket, keep those eyes locked on theirs. They'll love the intensity.
2. Skip the romantic stuff
As students, we want to get down to business as quickly as possible. A lot of people will say they only want to get to know you for your personality, but we all know that's a lie. As a student, I can vouch for everyone when I say that all we really want after the date is to get to know your body, so we can immediately compare it to the previous people we've dated.
3. Picking noses
If you don't know how to make your first physical move, I have a game changer. I'll never forget when a guy started by giving me a simple kiss then proceeded to grab my finger and place it inside my own nose. I was essentially picking my own nose. It was incredible. I advise everyone to try this at least three times before making things "Facebook Official."
4. Use lots of tongue
Take it from our man Ludacris when he says, "I want to li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes." Yes, Luda, you nailed it with this verse. However, focus your attention on our mouths and drench us with your saliva while also playing a game of, "Tug-O-War" with our tongues. The wetter the better.
5. Keep maximum amount of clothing on*
*Disclaimer: This tip is for the advanced only.
Bill Self reveals true identity as masked hero Batman
If you really want to spice things up, leave on as much clothing as possible while still being able to get steamy. This will bring you back to your old high school days of hooking up in your parent's basement without being caught. Can't you feel the sexual tension brewing already?
ROBIN MARSHALL entertain@kansan.com
For years, the identity of beloved superhero Batman has been hidden away from the world; some have speculated that Bruce Wayne could be the hero, but the identity of the masked crusader is much closer to home. Years of evidence point to one conclusion: Bill Self, the esteemed coach of the men's basketball team, is also tirelessly fighting crime as Batman.
Like Batman, Self is a prominent figure in his community and is known for his power, status and wealth. This gives him a unique position where he is in the public eye, but not much is really known about him (Have you ever tried to set up an interview with the guy? He's impossible to get in touch with. Coincidence? I think not.). He is revered because of his work, which helps maintain his status and keep up the ruse so no one will discover his secret.
Self is also known for his philanthropy work; just this season he entered a
competition with two other Kansas schools to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters. He was also recognized by the United Nations for his work with the Boy Scouts and Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Batman was orphaned young, so it makes sense that Self would want to be involved in benefiting kids' lives. Plus, Batman is known for selflessly protecting the city without any true recognition, just like Self's altruism.
For 10 straight seasons Self has tirelessly defended the Big 12 title and has worked to protect the Jayhawk reputation, which parallels Batman's work to guard Gotham and make the city a better place for all its citizens. Under his watch, the Jayhawks have won a national championship and he is known for having the best six-year record in Division I history. The work he has put in to defend the Jayhawks' reputation makes it pretty obvious that he is a superhero.
With all the evidence piling up, it seems that the only question left: Is Allen Fieldhouse the Batcave?

In light of his recent NCAA tournament loss, Self reveals his true identity as superhero Batman. Gotham City officials were unavailable before deadline.

Kansas official bans all art in Lawrence
JED I. KNIGHT entertain@kansan.com
An extremely prominent Kansas public official said he would like to ban the citizens of Lawrence from producing or condoning "any and all things artsy," for the sake of Kansas' reputation and productivity.
"If the people of Lawrence would stop worrying about art and start operating small businesses, Kansas would be a much more productive state," the extremely prominent Kansas public official said. "I think the state has tolerated art long enough.
It's linked to drug abuse, lawlessness and teen pregnancy. It leads students to mooch off of the rest of society because they're not working and can't support themselves."
The public official cut all state-funded arts programs in 2011, and saw the more specific ban on Lawrence art as addressing the root of the problem.
"Let's face it. Lawrence is the leading producer of most of Kansas' art," said the extremely prominent Kansas public official. "People ask 'What's the matter with Kansas?' when they should be asking 'What's the matter with Lawrence?' We believe we've found the answer to that question: so-called artistic expression."
Within hours of the Kansas public official's comments,
Some acted quickly and bought one-way bus and plane tickets to cities notably similar to Lawrence, such as Boulder, Co., and Eugene, Ore.
Meadow Brook, a local artist and Lawrence resident of more than 30 years, said she has finally had enough of the extremely prominent Kansas public official's policies and wants to relocate to Boulder, where she can freely make art and smoke marijuana.
"You know what, I've had enough of the public official's
Lawrence citizens were organizing protests.
Members of the Angry at Anarchist Artists group supported the public official's ban by protesting in Lawrence on Monday.
Janice Steinmen, an AAA member, held a sign saying "Earth without ART is E.H.: Extremely Healthy".
"It's time parents stop telling their kids that they can be who they want to be," Steinmen said. "We don't want kids to end up being societal leeches. We don't want our kids being like, well, Lady Gaga.

Apple LaRouche, a Lawrence street musician, didn't seem to be distraught over the new regulations.
"Whatever," LaRouche said. "They say that artists are 'moochers' but you know who's gonna have to take care of me when I'm not playing anymore? Yeah, that's right. Them. F--- communists."

The ban is scheduled to take place in phases. Phase one, banning of all street musicians and vendors, will take place in August. P
Phase two, banning of the creation and sale of artistic things, will be implemented in December.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It's just like any summer sport." — Jacob Fast, on tossing the caber
FACT OF THE DAY
Probably the best toser of all time was the Victorian strongman Donald Dinnie. His career spanned 40 years (1850-1890), and he once took 20 prizes in a single day.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Which was the most fearsome caber of all time?
THE MORNING BREW
A: The 20 foot, 9.5 stone Braemar caber. It was first tossed in 1951.
Eliminating the caber toss is an abomination
It's time to take your kilt out of storage and start dusting off your mill weights - the annual Midwest Highland Games Championship is coming up in five short months.
But the Highland Games may never be the same again. The International Highland Games Association is looking to cut the most crucial event: the caber toss.
What most fans don't know is the
athletic finesse and skill the caber toss requires. These high caliber athletes must lift a tapered pole that is nearly 20 feet tall and attempt to toss it so that it turns over, away from the tosser. An unskilled tosser might not get any further than lifting the pole, as the top is weighted heavier than the bottom. This event is vital. To everything.
No, the caber toss is not simply just the essential event of the Highland Games. It is not simply just an athletic event that demands the competitors to toss a 175-pound tapered pole. And it is not simply just a time to watch an athlete risk his or her life. It is much more than that. It is an event that has
By Cadha Flanigan MacDuff sports@kansan.com
centuries worth of tradition standing behind it.
Legend has it that the event originated from the need to toss logs across narrow chasms in order to cross them. This is an athletic event that originated out of necessity, so it is a necessity that we keep it.
What is a world without the caber toss? It is a world without the ability to
JAYHAWK BREW
JAYHAWK BREW
JAYHAWK BREW
toss a 20 foot pole — where else would one learn this skill? It is a world without the thrill of watching someone reach the "12 o'clock" position — my heart almost always skips a beat. It is a world without athletes that hold
themselves to the highest of esteems and are consistently improving — just last year, the chiefs at the Pitlochry Highland games in Scotland had to bring in a
new and heavier car because the tossers were turning it too easily. These are athletes whose strength
and skills are improving every competition.
This event seems easy enough to cut. But it just isn't. It is integral to the Highland Games, and cutting it is something that we cannot let happen.

Allen Fieldhouse to be demolished
BUSCH SCHARTS
sports@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Athletics Board voted unanimously to demolish Allen Fieldhouse in order to make room for additional campus parking at a closed-door meeting last night.
Talks of this plan were first initiated right after the Jayhawks' recent loss against Stanford in the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
"We thought long and hard about this matter" Athletics Board Director Mark Walberg said, "but we as a board believe that the space the Fieldhouse
currently occupies could be put to better use after seeing the performance our men's team put on two weeks ago."
Following the student body outcries, Walberg released a statement saying that despite people's personal attachment to the fieldhouse, Allen Field-house demolition plans would continue. For those who would
Many students and alumni have voiced their outrage with the Athletics Board's decision.
"This is the biggest crock of you-know-what to ever take place in the history of college basketball." Eymah Hogh said. "They can't take our basketball sanctuary away from us."
"I'm just shocked that this happened," the star freshman player said. "I should have left a long time ago."
like to pay their respects to the fieldhouse, there will be a candle-lighting ceremony on Stop Day, May 9, at 8 p.m.
Demolition crews will begin taking down Allen Fieldhouse this June, with hopes to have a solid parking garage foundation laid by August.
Walberg's statement also announced that a workshop would be set up to help the current Men's and Women's Basketball teams assimilate into regular student life. The workshop, titled "Leave No Hawk Behind," will be led by actor Jason Sudeikis.
Men's basketball coach Bill Self was unable to comment on the board's decision because he took a personal day to hunt for a new job.
Despite the workshop and many condolences from fans, one men's team player is still bitter about the board's decision.
"I was heartbroken when I first heard that' oll" Allen was
getting torn down," Sudeikis said. "I thought I could lend a bit of humor to the teams by leading the 'Leave No Hawk Behind' workshop."

COMMENTARY
Soft schedule to blame for tournament loss
By Teddy Fiddles sports@kansan.com
D disappointed and frustrated after another early tournament exit, Bill Self pondered what he could have done to change things. Self knew the answer was obvious.
"I don't feel like we prepared ourselves for March," Self said. "Our schedule was just too easy."
Kansas notably played Louisiana Monroe, Towson and Iona. Self said he was embarrassed that he even played teams that did not play in the NCAA Tournament.
"Look at our schedule," Self said. "We played TCU twice. We played Texas Tech twice. How do you justify that?"
Even some of the more difficult games on Kansas' schedule failed to adequately challenge the Jayhawks. The "prize" of the schedule, Duke, failed to even advance past the first round of the tournament.
"Before the season, we called Mercer," said Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger. "They refused to schedule us. They wanted to know what we brought to the table. Instead, we had to settle for the Blue Devils."
According to sources, Mercer demanded that Kansas assistant coach Jerrance Howard teach its players how to dance the "Nae Nae." Howard adamantly refused.
Self was not the only one to decry Kansas' lackluster schedule. Many respected minds across the nation agreed.
Madden was asked to elaborate, but became distant and ornery after failing to complete the word search.
"In order to have a schedule, you've got to play people," Madden said as he teetered back and forth in his rocking chair, all the while filling out the puzzles on the back of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal box. "You've got to have an opponent in order to have a game."
"Kansas' schedule was too easy," ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith said. "I have many friends in the industry. I have more friends in the industry than you probably have friends total. And they all think Self needs to schedule harder games."
Former NFL coach and color commentator John Madden weighed in, too.
id disagree was Dick Valine.
"Kansas scheduled Duke.
What more can you ask?" Valine said. "Duke saved my life. Duke saved my marriage. Duke finally taught me what it meant to love."
"The Jayhawks seemed afraid to play the power teams," Skip Bayless proclaimed, scantily clad in a cut-off Tim Tebow jersey. "Did they play Kentucky? Did they play Syracuse? No they did not. Quite simply, they were afraid."
The only notable sportscaster to disagree was Dick Vitale.

Self and Zenger have been involved in close conversations to see that history does not repeat itself. For the 2014-15 season, Kansas has already scheduled Arizona, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina, the 1996 Chicago Bulls, and the MonStars from "Space Jam."
Kansas also deleted TCU from the schedule. Upon TCU coach Trent Johnson's protest, Self reportedly replied, "What are you going to do about it, Trent?" Johnson had no response. Self hasn't made a decision with regard to Texas Tech, but is screening coach Tubby Smith's calls anyway.
Self has made one thing clear: If Kansas disappoints next year, it will not be because of a soft schedule again.

Freshman guard Wayne Selden Jr. brushes off Oklahoma State sophomore guard Marcus Smart resulting in a technical foul during the second half. Smart announced Monday that he will transfer to the University of Kansas to play for the Jayhawks next season. "I didn't want the rest of my college career to be a flop," Smart said.
SMART DECISION
Marcus Smart transfers to Kansas
MEN'S BASKETBALL
FLYNN GREY III sports@kansan.com
"There's nowhere better to play basketball than the University of Kansas," Smart told reporters. "I just want to finish up my college career wherever gives me the best chance to win."
Few were surprised when Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins announced his intentions to enter the NBA draft on Monday, but no one could have anticipated the announcement that would follow. Sophomore Marcus Smart held a press conference only hours later, publicizing his decision to transfer to Kansas for the following season.
Smart's mother, told the Kansan on Monday night that
Marcus had grown discontent with his situation at Oklahoma State after being benched for an altercation with a fan in February. Smart's mother said Marcus would call her almost nightly during his suspension to express his frustration with the team's handling and lack of support after he was seen pushing a Texas Tech fan on national television.
It was at this time that Kansas coach Bill Self developed his relationship with Smart. To avoid NCAA recruiting violations, the two communicated primarily through Snapchat.
"Coach Self was there for Marcus when no one else was," Smart's mother told reporters. "Everytime Marcus opened his phone, he could expect at least two or three
Self-ies with positive messages like, 'haters=motivators' and 'believe in usrself.'
While Self kept his praise of Smart private, he's never been shy about his frustration with his own point guards. After
"I just want to finish up my career wherever gives me the best chance to win."
MARCUS SMART Sophomore guard
Smart led his Cowboys to a victory over the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse last year, Self famously said, "We don't have a point guard." Earlier this season, Ben benched his most
experienced guard, junior Naadir Tharpe. Self told his reporters that his team would never be successful without the right man at guard.
"Naadir, Frank and Conner all try their best, but I knew I'd never had a guard as good as Marcus." Self told the Kansan. "So I went out and got him."
Self said Smart visited him in Lawrence following Oklahoma State's first round exit in the tournament.
"We came right out and offered him a scholarship," Self said. "The timing couldn't have been better."
It wasn't a hard decision for Smart. His mother told the Kansan that Marcus had always been a closet KU fan. She said he was wowed by his first experience in the hallowed Allen Fieldhouse, so
overjoyed by the atmosphere that he performed a backflip on the jayhawk logo.
Smart will provide much needed experience to the still young Kansas team and is expected to debut at point guard for Late Night in the Phog.
Meanwhile, Smart's mother is just happy her son has finally found the right place to finish his college basketball career. Marcus has already made living arrangements in Jayhawker Towers with sophomore Tyler Self and is planning to major in theater. At his press conference, Smart seemed pleased with his decision.
"It's true what they say," Smart said. "There's no place like home."
QUIDDITCH
KU team receives genuine broomsticks
RACHEL SKATER
sports@kansan.com
Things were looking up for the Kansas Quidditch team last Thursday when an unmarked package was delivered during their practice.
Inside the package was a set of seven new Firebolt broomsticks. At first the team thought that the broomsticks were spectacularly-made fan pieces, but after one unfortunate incident they
"It just came out of nowhere," said junior keeper Rex Wesley. "I think it was too big for owls, so they used a couple condors instead."
"Nathan jumped on the broom and laughed and said, 'Hey look guys, I'm flying!' It was really funny, except that when he started running with it, he took off into the air," said senior seeker Harold Porter. "I guess some people aren't meant to fly after all, because he fell off about halfway to Allen Fieldhouse."
found out that wasn't the case.
Sophomore chaser Nathan Langfellow is recovering at Watkins Memorial Health Center with a minor head injury and a broken arm. Since that incident, no other mishaps have flown afoul of the sports team.
has been practicing with their new flying broomsticks since Thursday. As of Monday night, they thought that there was definite improvement.
"People used to laugh at me for joining the Quidditch team," senior chaser Alice Jackson said. "I admit, I never thought the sport would get off the ground. But look at us now!"
The KU Quidditch team
While it is currently unknown whether the Quidditch team will be allowed to use the broomsticks in the upcoming World Cup, Porter is hopeful.
"I mean, there's a lot of rules about the size of the broom we can use." Porter said, slowly
stroking his new Firebolt.
"But I feel like if they really fly,
an exception should be made."
"If you don't know where it came from you shouldn't use it," Hannah Gretchen, a junior from Detroit, Mich. "There are dangerous people out there. For all they know,
The Jayhawks are the first collegiate Quidditch team to receive flying brooms, and because the sponsor is unknown, there is debate about the legality of their use. While some suspect that the sender was merely a KU Quidditch fan, others suggested more nefarious purposes for the donated brooms.
whatever is making those brooms fly could wear off mid-air. It isn't safe."
Despite the controversy surrounding the brooms, as of Monday night it looked like the team will be allowed to keep them. While it is still up in the air about whether the brooms will be used in competition, Porter seemed to think that victory had already happened.
"Whether we win the World Cup or not, I think we all know who the real champions here are," Porter said. "No matter what happens, I guess we'll just keep on flying."

West Campus cafe to close grill
MIRANDA DAVIS news@kansan.com
Students from the KU School of Pharmacy are working this week to fight the closing of the grill inside Mortar and Pestle cafe, located inside the school of pharmacy on West Campus. The cafe would stay open, but the grill is the only hot dining option on West Campus and would potentially be replaced by a KU Dining drop-off service.
items will be brought in by KU Dining for students during breakfast and lunch times. Dining is looking at bringing in a rotating selection of hot foods during lunch, such as soups, hot sandwiches and pizza. Dining is also only walking off the grill portion, they are not planning to remove it. Reid said that they are hoping they can come back once West Campus develops more.
tle will be moved to other campus dining locations around campus, to fill open spots.

Mike Reid, director of public affairs for KU Memorial Unions, said that KU Dining wants to keep the grill open, but has lost money every fiscal year that the cafe has been open and that the cafe would have to double its sales to break even. Mortar and Pestle opened in 2010 with the new pharmacy school building and has recorded losses every year.
The students collected signatures at Mortar and Pestle Monday afternoon as a way to bring light to a relatively unknown issue, and started a "tweet-a-thon"
"This is the last thing that we want to do." Reid said.

who say the closing of the cafe could potentially damage the Pharmacy school.
"We have lots of faculty and staff all over West Campus that utilize this space," said Hollie Resseguie, one of the students organizing the campaign.
The group created a letter to send to the director of KU Dining Services, Nona Golledge, that aired many of the concerns students are feeling about the closure.
"As the only pharmacy school in the state of Kansas, KU School of Pharmacy is the sole ambassador of the profession for our state. It is vital that we
represent the profession well for the many guests and events at the school and represent our school well to attract future pharmacists. A shuttered facility does neither. The broader community's expectations of KU research departments and School of Pharmacy are high, and this is an image issue KU Dining needs to take seriously"the letter stated.

Campus coming out for 'Gaypril'
JESSICA MITCHELL news@kansan.com
Ellen DeGeneres came out during the fourth season of her show in 1997. The shock of people's reactions was so overwhelming that she moved to a new city and went into complete isolation. She told People magazine that it was difficult to cope, and that she felt rejected. Fifteen years later, Ellen is now a household name, is recognized as one of the most powerful and influential people in the country and is even a face for CoverGirl cosmetics. Coming out is often a defining moment in a person's life, whether he or she is a college student in Kansas or a famous comedian on national TV. What will people think? How will they react? Four University students shared pieces of their experiences in honor of this month-long LGBT celebration, "Gaypril."
Rex Miller
Freshman from Olathe
Preferred pronouns: he/him/his
My name is Rex Allen Mill
er. My parents named me that because they thought it sounded like a football name. That obviously didn't work out. I was born in Bethesda, Md., in a naval hospital to two linguist parents, both of whom are Republican.
Growing up, I did not clue in to the several cues that I got. For example, I made a remark to my brother that this guy on TV had the deepest, bluest eyes I've ever seen. My brother was I've just like, "We don't say that about other guys." I also had this best friend growing up that I was super grabby with. It didn't dawn on me that this wasn't the straightest behavior ever. I just assumed that, oh I am so close to this friend because he is my friend, not because I have a crush on him. People say that they knew they were gay at like the age of 6 or something, but I didn't start clueing in until like 14.
I first told my brother, and that was not terribly eventful except for when my brother told me I was going to tear the family apart. That felt awesome. After asking out this guy on a date I felt like I had to tell my parents. For some reason I decided to tell my mom first, and I thought shed be nice about it. The thing is, she did not get it. I told her that I was going to this play with a guy, and she's like, "Well, if you want to go with your friend I'm okay with that." I told her, "No, I asked him out
on a date." She became really confused and just basically got angry. In our family any time you say anything it's like a debate, so I had a prepared list of rebuttals to the responses I was going to receive. However, she said something that entirely floored me. I could not respond to it at all. She said, "Oh, well, it's impossible for you to be gay because gay people don't exist." I mean, obviously, if she did not believe that gay people exist there is nothing that was going to change her mind.
I've attempted to come out two times since then, the first time happening in 2011 or 2012. Each time going roughly the same way: response, response, response, then that one thing that I just cannot argue with because it's so insane. So, yep, that's about where we are; I've made the attempt but it hasn't happened.
A.
A lot of people say that I'm a normal guy who happens to like guys. A lot of people spin it that way. The thing is, while that's kind of true, what coming out does for you is it gives you access to an entire culture that a lot of people are not even aware of. That's what's really cool about it is gaining access to an entirely different worldview that I probably would not have even known about if I were straight.
A lot of people talk about how they've known they were gay their whole lives. For me, I didn't really ever think too much about it. When I was in high school, I did think it was a little off that I wasn't super boy-crazy like the rest of my friends, but I was just concerned about the friends that I had and the activities I was doing. I do remember having strong attachments to some of my female teachers in high school, but I just thought they were cool and I wanted to be around them. It was nothing beyond that. I even had a boyfriend during my early years of college at Johnson County. Then my younger brother actually came out that he was gay. That was quite a shock, but my family has always been super accepting so it wasn't that big of a deal. I mean, no prob-

Waira Mungai had been trying to lose weight since he was in fifth grade; every time he attempted, he gained it all back. It wasn't until he changed his mentality that he was able to accomplish losing 125 pounds.
Mungai, a junior from McPherson, still remembers the revelation that occurred on a February morning when he was a freshman in high school that sparked his success.
MADDY MIKINSKI news@kansan.com
"It was February 1st. It was cold outside, snow on the ground, and I was getting ready for school," Mungai sad. "I had my last pair of jeans on. We were running late so my mom was already irritated at me. Getting into the car, I bent over to fit in my backpack and ripped my last pair of jeans."
"I was really embarrassed; I was frustrated with myself," Mungai said. "Under the surface, I always wanted to lose weight. It would have been
He went to school that day wearing shorts, subjecting him to the ridicule of other students.
After that, Mungai changed his diet and began exercising. By the end of the first week, he had lost 9 pounds. This initial success kept him going and by the beginning of his sophomore year he had lost more than 100 pounds.
"At the beginning of the next school year, I walked in and it was like a totally new world," Mungai said. "When I came back, it felt like I was free. People were opening doors for me, looking in my direction and smiling at me. People were opening up conversations with me who I'd never talked to before."
like winning the lottery for me."
He now uses his weight loss story to inspire others and maintain his own company. His combined experience with both the physical and mental repercussions of weight loss are the basis for his new company. Mungal operates from WairaFit, his YouTube channel, but eventually he hopes to create his own motivational website.
Mungai hopes to step away from other weight loss companies and create something unique. He helps people to lose weight through more
conversational, psychological methods rather than just physical methods. Mungai asks his clients why they want to lose weight instead of how.
"What we really focus on is the mentality of the day-in, day-out struggle," Mungai said. "I want to create a viable solution for the masses, something that focuses more on the ability to have will-power and be consistent rather than the actual strategy necessary for losing weight or being fit or just gaining muscle."

Branden Halbach, Mungai's friend since middle school, was inspired by his success story.
"As crazy as it sounds, it started through jealousy," Halbach said. "I was jealous that someone just like me had come back to school and changed the whole face of the game. I later came to terms and realized I want that for me. I want to change and be part of that."
Halbach has also benefitted from Mungai's psychological approach to weight loss. He explained how after workouts he and Mungai would sit and think about success, where they

lems at all telling anyone
I was already into LGBT rights, but then coming to KU I met more gay people, and I hate saying it like this because it makes it sound like I was like recruited, but I mean this is how my story is, like if you don't know anyone who's gay, then you don't really know a lot about it. Once you actually start understanding it a little bit more you're like, okay
youngest brother. He was 13 at the time, so it was a little much to handle I think.
this is what I've been missing; this is how I actually do identify. I just didn't know what it was. So that's how I realized I had feelings for girls. But then when I did have a girlfriend I didn't think I needed to come out. You know, that's my business. Once I started to have more pride, I decided to tell my mom. The first thing she said to me was, "Well, I'm not surprised at all. I knew you were gay years ago." The hardest thing was just telling my
Coming out was never that difficult; it was more of when I started changing my appearance that strangers were maybe confused. I mean, I didn't just one day wear a dress then the next day wear a tie. It was a slow progression. I think pretty much my entire life I've always wanted to dress this way. I have two brothers and I can remember always being jealous of what they get to wear. I mean, for me, I don't really feel like I fit a girl's identity, but I don't necessarily feel like I'm a guy either; it's kind of in the middle. That's just how I view myself.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST SURPRISE SINCE COMING OUT?
I never knew I was going to be a part of such a great community. The LGBT community is, for the most part, like tight-
knit and full of really supportive people. I've found that working with Queers & Allies was my passion. I didn't think it was going to change my life, that sounds really cheesy, but it did. The people I've surrounded myself with are different. What is important to me is different. I think that's what surprised me: how much it was going to change my life.

Kansans rush for health care deadline
Teresa Holmer, a health care navigator for the Shawnee County, Kan., Health Agency, counsels Topeka resident Tamika Terry about obtaining insurance.
STATE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Consumers and health care counselors struggled through problems with the federal government's online health insurance marketplace amid a crush of late requests for help in meeting Monday's deadline to sign up for coverage.
The Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved, a nonprofit group that trained most of the state's 170 or so health care counselors, or navigators, reported that their schedules were packed with appointments ahead of the deadline. The federal health care overhaul, championed by President Barack Obama, requires most Americans to have health coverage or pay a tax penalty.
But technical problems with the federal marketplace's websites were frustrating consumers and navigators alike. HealthCare.gov was out of service for nearly four hours Monday morning, and another problem later temporarily kept new applicants from signing up.
Navigators for the Shawnee County Health Agency in Topeka helped consumers at the public library, but made follow-up appointments when they couldn't use the website Monday. Later, they could access the website, but reported that it was running slowly.
Tamika Terry, a 39-year-old Topeka resident, found the problems annoying. She began working for the U.S. Postal Service in September but hasn't yet qualified for federal benefits and was looking for coverage to tide her over.
She said if workers tried to apply during their lunch breaks, "Thev'd really be out of luck."
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had projected that 53,000 Kansas residents would enroll in coverage through the marketplace by the end of March. It said about 29,000 had done so by the end of February. In Kansas, navigators were
Senate approved a measure to require health care navigators to register with the attorney general's office by July 2015, pay a $100 annual fee, submit their fingerprints and undergo background checks. Kansas
"They've booked their appointment schedules as tight as they can get them," she said.
The proposal for a compact of states seeking to avoid the federal law relies on an obscure provision in the U.S. Constitu-
swamped, said Katrina McGivern, spokeswoman for the Association for the Medically Underserved.
"The state isn't making it easy to get insurance."
Millions of people nationwide also were potentially eligible for extensions, including those who began enrolling by the deadline but weren't able to finish.
supporters' goal is for the compact bill to clear the Legislature this week.

Meanwhile, the Republican-dominated Kansas Legislature still looked for ways to resist the Democratic president's signature domestic policy.

His father, Salvador, is a self-employed jeweler who hasn't been able to buy health insurance because he's been in remission from cancer for two decades. Tecia Ramos said she tried to enroll for coverage in October and December but was told each time that the family didn't qualify for subsidies. She was going to try ac

CAMPUS Guth will return to classroom this fall
Guth
Professor David Guth, who drew national attention to the University with a tweet last semester, is
scheduled to return to the classroom teaching two courses in the fall semester.
Guth, who teaches in the journalism school's strategic communications track, will be teaching the History of Journalism and Mass Communication, and Message Development. Both courses are open for enrollment. His scheduled return was confirmed by Dean Ann Brill.
Guth was placed on administrative lead in the fall for his tweet on Sept. 16 that was aimed at the National Rifle Association.
This semester, Guth is on a research sabbatical.

The group of students was also collecting signatures on a thank you card to thank all of the employees of Mortar and Pestle. With only the grill closing, there will still be employees working at the cafe.
KU Dining will also release their annual survey about campus dining and will ask a question about Mortar and Pestle to help learn how to best serve the patrons of the cafe.

Lobsters teach us about change
ANIMALS
As spring begins, the earth changes from the dreary, white winter to the fresh, green spring. The birds sing, the flowers bloom and color is added back into our lives. This is your opportunity to turn over a new leaf (pun may or may not be intended).
I'm not sure about you, but I have heard this trope one too many times. Change in our lives is hard, requires effort and commitment, and does not always have "flowery" consequences.
By Jenny Stern
opinion@kansan.com
When equating nature with the human experience, my preferred metaphor for change is that of the lobster losing its old shell. The lobster's molting process is beautifully described by Trevor Corson, in his book "The Secret Life of Lobsters."
A lobster that is ready to shed its shell will pump seawater into its body. The resulting hydrostatic pressure forces the old shell off of the new one. "The lobster remains mobile and active until the last minute, when the membrane that lines its old shell bursts and the animal falls over on its side, helpless and immobilized," Corson says.
humbledness,believe Change knocks both lobsters and humans off their feet, resetting their course. Lobsters, however, catalyze their change by pumping water through their body. With some very complicated exceptions, I believe that we catalyze our own change as well. Even when it feels like life is beyond our control, our prospective and actions shape the course of our life.
"Before molting the animal must diet away half the mass in its claws or risk getting
suck in its old clothes," Corson says.
Just as lobsters lose the weight in their claws, humans must release the idea that the change is negative in order to fully embrace it.
Corson continues, "Flexing the muscles of its abdomen, the lobsterc shake off the old shell around its tail and is free"
Releasing the past is important for both lobsters and humans; it may just take a little muscle or hard work to finally let it go.
Once the lobster can stand and move around, "Its first priority is to use its newly rigid mouthparts to devour the husk of its former self, a convenient and nutritious source of additional calcium."
Although after change, we may not literally eat our past. I think internalizing your past is a vital final step in the process of change. Lobsters live and eat while we live and learn, but there is a common lesson between the two that becomes easy to forget in day-to-day life.
Maybe you prefer to liken yourself to a blooming flower. I, however, am in ane of the lobster and strive to emulate their beautiful routine in handling change.

It's time to get angry about climate change
I'm angry about climate change, but I think that anger should be used to produce positive action, rather than passive vexation. The climate is changing and 97 percent of climate scientists agree that it's very likely caused human activity, according to NASA.
Contrary to popular belief, climate change is already affecting people. In the Maldives, a small island nation consisting of 1,200 islands and atolls, sea level rise is threatening the very existence of the state, according to The Guardian. As the Maldives are rapidly covered by the Indian Ocean, government officials are scrambling to adapt to this glaring example of climate change. Yet what are we, the collective young people of this nation, doing about it?
By Gabrielle Murnan
opinion@kansan.com
We are thinking about climate change, but we're not doing anything about it. Our world is headed toward the sixth mass extinction, a scientifically categorized event that rivals the biodiversity loss of the dinosaur extinction, and college students are partying at Jayhawk Cafe and obsessing about their future job prospects that will give them wealth and status.
Global temperatures are on the rise, which is causing ice caps to melt; that melting is leading captured methane to release and sea level to rise. Agriculture is facing huge crop losses and potential vector-borne disease outbreaks. Storms are getting stronger and staying longer.
As students, we have more power than we realize. We are in an ideal position to understand the past and imagine a better future because our dreams, ideas and passions have not been squashed by the "real world" yet. We simply have to look at history to understand that young people can influence change. Young people were, and are, key actors in the civil rights, gay rights and immigration rights movements. Our voices have been heard time and time again because we refuse to embrace the status quo and we constantly innovate our modes of communication.
Action on climate change isn't restricted to turning
off lights after you leave a room. Action is educating yourself about climate change and talking about it. Action is taking that knowledge and applying it to our future careers and daily lives.
We can choose to stick to the societal and economic infrastructure that has altered the balance of the earth, or our generation can choose to be the group that says, "We're done." We're done with dirty oil and natural gas. We are done with poorly planned, fossil fuel-driven cities; we are done with genetically modified, pesticide-ridden food.
Action is standing up when a citizen or politician scoffs at the idea of climate change and intelligently telling him or her that he or she is wrong. Action is contacting your senators and representatives and tell them the time is now for action on climate change.
We must adopt strict carbon taxes and move toward a full-scale switch to alternative energies. The time is now for green building regulations, city planning and agriculture. The time is now to leave principles of unlimited economic growth to the misguided politicians of the mid-20th century.
We cannot wait to get angry about climate change until later. We would be fools to care about climate change only after we personally feel the effects of famine or an unprecedented natural disaster. I don't want our generation to go down in history as the one that stood by, iPhone and beer in hand, while the world deteriorated. This University teaches us to be innovative leaders, to serve our communities and to change the world. Let's do what history and this institution have taught us. Get angry about climate change and turn it into constructive action. This is your world, and someone has to fight for it.

HOROSCOPES Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7
The next two days could get quite profitable, although it's not a good time to expand or risk. Finish a job before going out. A disagreement at home could tangle things. An idea in theory doesn't work in practice. Review plans and instructions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
You're getting stronger and more confident. Inspire, rather than demanding. Listen to a good coach. Today and tomorrow could get active, and fun. Don't dig into savings. The competition's fierce. Admit the truth to a critic. It's not about winning... but playing the game.
the game.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 7
Today is a 7
Financial success fuels optimism.
Nonetheless, slow down and contem-
plate. Let yourself get retrospective
today and tomorrow. Things are getting
stirred up at your place. Controversy
arises. Keep confidence. Start with
organizing closets and workspaces.
Work interfeirs with playtime... take
extra time off later.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 7
You have more friends than you realized. Together, you share goals to realize a vision. A new trick won't work Don't take financial risks. You'll be more analytical for the next few days, with help from a technical friend. Let the group find the solution.
the group find the solution.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
Take on new responsibilities today and tomorrow. Consider all possibilities. Choose reality over fantasy, it's a miserable time to gamble. Stand outside the controversy as much as possible. Obligations interfere with fun Remember your manners, and ask for assistance. Schedule, delegate and make it work.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 6
Your luck's shifting for the better again.
Play ball! Investigate possibilities to take new ground over the next two days.
Postpone household projects until after your deadline. An expensive option may not be the best. Fantasy and fact clash.
Put agreements in writing.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6
Don't let a windfall evaporate, or follow a hunch blindly. There could be a disagreement over style. Keep your eyes open, and research options. Review your reserves over the next two days. Consider the consequences before making a move. Put in some sweat equity.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 6
Today is a 6
Lean on a gentle partner for the next few days. Keep a treasure hidden, even from friends. Accept an offer of assistance. Work on your assignments. Share results. Be gracious with someone inconsiderate. Consider all possibilities, before choosing your direction.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
Put your heads together. Start by learning the rules. Don't advance... simply maintain position. Work goes smoothly today and tomorrow. Re-assure someone who's flustered. A disappointment could disrupt the action. Profit from meticulous service. Your cool compassion gives another ease.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 6
A barrier diminishes. Use your connections to push forward. It's not a good time to travel, though. Come up with creative and unusual ideas for style and beauty. Have fun without over-extending. You have less energy than expected. A quiet night at home refreshs.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Natness counts double for the next couple of days. Take it slow, and review work before finalizing. Personal comfort must be considered. A repair at home or a family situation demands attention. Postpone an outing, and authorize improvements. Don't expand too rapidly. Easy does it.
KANSAN PUZZLES
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5
Get lost in your studies and work.
Prepare your position. There's a test or deadline ahead, taking precedence.
Squirrel away nuts for winter anyway.
A little bit here and there adds up.
Exercise and nature clear your mind

JOHNNY CASH
OUT AMONG THE STARS
LEGACY RECORDINGS
'Out Among the Stars' engages new listeners
Throughout the history of art and culture, posthumous work has played an important role in carrying on the legacy of artists. This is exactly what Johnny Cash's son, John Carter Cash, is trying to do by releasing a new, unheard record to the public.
The album, "Out Among the Stars," was produced by Billy Sherrill, a famous producer of the time, and was originally shelved by Johnny Cash's record label, Legacy Recordings. It was finally released on March 25.
The title track and first song on the album, "Out Among the Stars," is the perfect beginning track, offering a different feel from the Johnny Cash we are familiar with. The song's rhythm is more upbeat than
By Madison Schulz entertain@kansan.com
his usual music, while still staying true to his usual lyrics of struggle, and a man wanting to get away from his troubles and "fly like eagles, out among the stars."
While the album's single, "She Used to Love Me a Lot," resembles Cash's older and more famous music, the album is also full of pleasant surprises. "I Came to Believe," an upbeat song about coming to believe in a higher power, has a great piano element that most Cash fans would not expect from him. Duets with famous love June Carter Cash on "Baby Ride Easy" and "Don't You
Think It's Come Our Time" are also highlights.
Overall, the album is classic Cash with a new twist. He sings of struggle and triumph as well as love and loss, with some new instrumentals that give some of the songs an almost modern feel.
"Out Among the Stars" appeals to the younger generation just discovering Johnny Cash with some of the album's lighter lyrics and more upbeat tempos, but still has songs that will appeal to Cash's existing fans, and perhaps even give them a new perspective on the legendary singer.

Look ahead: April music scene
RYAN WRIGHT
entertain@kansan.com
March was a relatively slow month in music. While there were a few major releases toward the beginning of the month, it slowed down as the month was ending. With March now behind us, April is full of live music in the Lawrence and Kansas City area and there's also quite a few albums releasing. Here's what to keep an eye on.
NAS - "ILLMATIC XX" - APRIL 15 In celebration of the 20th anniversary of his classic debut album "Illmatic," Nas will be releasing a special edition of the album entitled "Illmatic XX." The album features a remastered version of the original album as well as previously unreleased tracks and new remixes of classics from the original album. Nas is rumored to be working on a new album and this should hold fans over until then.
MILEY CYRUS LIVE AT THE SPRINT
CENTER - APRIL 15
Whether you hate her or you love her, Miley Cyrus is
bringing her "Bangerz" tour to the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Miley has been in the news a lot recently for her wild antics and this concert should be entertaining at the very least. Tickets are still available for prices ranging from $41.50 to $91.50 and can be purchased at sprintcenter.com.
SCHOOLBOY Q LIVE AT LIBERTY
HALL - APRIL 23
After releasing his long awaited album "Oxymoron" in February, Schoolboy Q began his world tour in promotion of the album which makes a stop in Lawrence at Liberty Hall. Even though he's a relatively new artist, Schoolboy Q is known as one of the most energetic performers in hip-hop. His shows often include mosh pits in the crowd. Q won't be alone though, he'll be bringing along Isaiah Rashad and Vince Staples. Tickets are still available at libertyahill.net for $25 in advance and $28 the day of the show.
FUTURE – “HONEST” - APRIL 22 Atlanta rapper Future is back with his follow-up to his 2012 debut "Pluto." The album
features production from Mike Will Made It and guest verses from Kanye West, Andre 3000 and others. Future is known for making street bangers which will be included in the album but he's also going to try his hand at R&B. With its release in a few weeks, this is an album to look forward to.
ARCADE FIRE LIVE AT STARLIGHT
THEATRE - APRIL 26
Grammy Award-winning indie rock band Arcade Fire is making a stop in Kansas City, Mo. at the Starlight Theatre. The tour is in promotion of its 2013 album "Reflektor" and the concert will feature opening acts Kid Koala and Tune-Yards. Tickets start at $30.50 and are still available at tickets.kcstarlight.com.
WAKA FLOCKA FLAME LIVE AT THE RIOT ROOM - APRIL 27
With his highly anticipated album "Flockaveli 2" right around the corner, Waka Flocka is touring the country and making a stop in Kansas City, Mo. at the Riot Room. Waka Flocka's concerts are often compared to punk rock concerts and this one should
be no different. Tickets can be purchased at theriotroom.
com for $25. VIP packages are available for $50.
RIFF RAFF - "NEON ICON " - APRIL
29
These aren't the only important things happening in music, Bun B, Chuck Inglish, Asher Roth and others will be performing in Lawrence. April is shaping up to be a remarkable month for live shows and it's going to be exciting to have so many choices.
After numerous delays Riff Raff's "Neon Icon" will finally be released on April 29. The album is executively produced by the legendary DJ Diplo and will include guest features from Drake and 2 Chainz. Riff Raff is one of the most entertaining rappers today, and some of his lyrics will make you laugh out loud. Riff Raff will also be performing in Lawrence on April 14 at Liberty Hall. Early bird tickets are $18, advance tickets are $20 and you can buy a ticket the day of the show for $23.

Facebook's buy out of Oculus stirs developers
JAMES HOYT news@kansan.com
On March 25, Facebook announced its intentions to purchase virtual reality company Oculus VR for a total of $2 billion. Oculus VR is known for its continuing development of the Oculus Rift, a Kickstarter-funded virtual reality headset that is quickly becoming a viable VR solution in the gaming industry. The announcement came eight days after Sony Computer Entertainment announced Project Morpheus, a virtual reality initiative designed for the Playstation 4. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg published an official statement on Facebook.
"Mobile is the platform of today, and now we're also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow," Zuckerberg said. "Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate."
The announcement has divided both the gaming community and the gaming industry. In a blog post on March 25, Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson stated, "I definitely want to be a part of VR, but
I will not work with Facebook. Their motives are too unclear and shifting ... that makes them seem creepy to me."
Persson had been developing a version of Minecraft optimized for the Oculus Rift display, a project that has been cancelled.
Former Epic Games designer Cliff Bleszinski, known for his work on the Gears of War franchise, took to his own blog and called Notch "a pouty kid who is taking his ball and going home."
Legendary game developer and Oculus VR CTO John Carmack broke his silence on the issue on Sunday in a comment on Tumblr; "I share some of your misgivings about companies 'existing and operating only to be acquired,'" referencing the Internet outcry because Oculus was largely crowdfunded, and some of its contributors saw the Facebook acquisition as a betrayal. "However, I do have reasons to believe that they get the Big Picture as I see it, and will be a powerful force towards making it happen."

Andrew Wiggins' top five moments at Kansas
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
1. MONEY IN MORGANTOWN
1. MURKEY IN MURGANTOWN
Breaks 40-point barrier, nearly leads Kansas to epic comeback against West Virginia
Facing a 25-point deficit in the second half, Wiggins almost single-handedly cut the deficit to four in the last minute of the team's last regular season game in Morgantown on March 8. He set a Kansas freshman record with 41 points on 12-for-18 shooting and 15 for 19 from the free-throw line. On a day his teammates were struggling, Wiggins elevated his play to a new level, leading the team in points (41), rebounds (8), assists (2), steals (5) and blocks (4). The 41 points are the most scored in a game by a Kansas player since 1991.
2. ELOQUENT ENCORE
Tallies 30 points, hits clutch shot in regulation to lead Kansas past Oklahoma State
Wiggins set another Kansas freshman record — the most points scored by a KU freshman in a Big 12 postseason game — in the team's next game, scoring 30 points in an overtime win in the quarterfinal of the Big 12 Tournament on March 13. With Kansas down two and a
minute remaining, Wiggins hit a timely baseline jumper to tie the game and help send it into overtime. He also chipped in eight rebounds and three steals and played every minute of the game (45). Overlooked was his defense as he guarded Markel Brown — one of the Big 12's leading scorers — and held him to 12 points on 5-for-13 shooting.
3. FIERY FINISH
Wiggins gets the last laugh against Duke's Jabari Parker
In a much-hyped game on Nov. 12 featuring the top two players in the Class of 2013, Wiggins overcame foul trouble to score 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting, with 16 points coming in the second half. Up by two with a minute and a half remaining, Wiggins hit an impressive step-back jumper followed by a dunk off a Perry Ellis steal to push the Kansas lead to six and secure a 94-83 Kansas victory. Guarding Parker late in the game, Wiggins was a major reason he went scoreless in the last five minutes. Parker ended with 27 points on the night, but Wiggins stole the show when it mattered most.
4. USING HIS HEIGHT ADVANTAGE Logs monster double-double at Iowa State
Playing in one of the toughest road environments in college basketball, Wiggins didn't appear to be intimidated playing inside Hilton Coliseum on Jan. 13. He finished with 17 points and grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds — one rebound shy of a Kansas freshman record set by Eric Chenowith in 1998. Late in the first half, Wiggins had as many rebounds as Iowa State did as a team and would finish with 12 first-half rebounds. He helped Kansas outrebound Iowa State by 17 (53 to 36) as the Jayhawks won 77-70.
5. CATCHING FIRE
5. CATCHING FIRE
Scores 56 points in two-game Big
12 stretch
Since tallying 26 points against Florida on Dec. 10, Wiggins had cooled off a bit, averaging less than 14 points in his next nine games. He stepped out of that funk in two games, scoring 27 points on the road against Texas Christian University on Jan. 25 and 29 points at home against Iowa State just four days later — both Kansas wins. He shot efficiently, shooting 62 percent from the field, making 6 of 10 3-point attempts and making 14 of 16 free throws in the two-game stretch.

Wiggins' year anything but a failure
COMMENTARY
BASKETBALL See Andrew Wiggins' top five moments at Kansas PAGE 7B
Anyone who thinks that Andrew Wiggins' time at Kansas was a failure
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
At Kansas was a failure is wrong. Plain and simple. They are wrong. They are wrong because this team was better with Wiggins on the court than without him. Bill Self trusted him. Since 2005, only one nonpoint guard has played more minutes per game than Wiggins, and that player was senior leader Travis Releford in 2013. Wiggins was efficient on offense, and this was without getting the kind of star treatment from referees that many stars are afforded. Examples of this efficiency include 29 points on 16 shots against Iowa State, 41 points on 18 shots against West Virginia, and 30 points on 17 shots against Oklahoma State. They are wrong because Wiggins was a shutdown defender. Wiggins could guard four positions. He guarded everyone from West Virginia point guard Juwan Staten to Iowa State power forward Melvin Eijim to Duke's future top three draft pick Jabari Parker. Wiggins also did not have the luxury of having elite defenders around him on the perimeter. Wiggins consistently asked to match up against the best offensive players. Especially after Joel Embiid went down with an injury, his stamina was incredible. Wiggins would spend 37 minutes chasing around the other team's best player while being counted on to carry the team on offense.
Freshman guard Andrew Wiggins announced that he will enter his name into the 2014 NBA draft. His mother, father and oldest brother, Mitch, were by his side. His brother Nick, a guard at Wichita State, stayed at school for class.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
they are wrong because Kansas won a 10th straight Big 12 championship under his leadership. Before his commitment, all the talk was that Marcus Smart was going to return to school and break the Jayhawks' stubborn grip on the Big 12. Before his commitment, Kansas was a marginal top-25 team. Ten months later, and Kansas notched 12 victories over the RPI Top 50. Ten months later, and Kansas has a streak unparalleled in modern basketball. They are wrong because the parity of the NCAA tournament means that a season can't be fully judged by a Final Four appearance or a national title. These are obviously cherries on the top of a successful lake. However, Kansas has made the NCAA tournament 25 times in a row. This is the longest active streak and the second longest in history. Even the best teams in the nation are statistically very unlikely to win the tournament. They are wrong because Wiggins will be an ambassador for the program for years to come. Wiggins' game was built for the NBA. In the NBA, he won't face zone defenses. He won't face as many double teams or opposing teams who milk possessions to keep the ball out of his hands. Wiggins has multiple All-Star appearances written all over him. His future success will be key in helping Self keep his recruiting momentum. Finally, they are wrong because Wiggins did everything asked of him. He lead a team that lost more than 75 percent of its scoring the previous year. His teammates loved him, and fans loved him. He loved being a part of the program.

Andrew Wiggins declares for NBA draft
MEN'S BASKETBALL
ONE AND DONE
BLAKE SCHUSTER
sports@kansan.com
For the second time in less than a year, Andrew Wiggins walked into a room lined with close friends, family and teammates ready to announce the biggest decision of his life.
Since Wiggins first started playing basketball, this had been the plan. Not necessarily going to college, but preparing for what came after. The glamour, the fame and the intense competition that his father, Mitch Wiggins, experienced playing professionally.
"It's always been a big dream of mine to follow my father's footsteps," Wiggins said. "I've been waiting for this day my whole life."
Now here was Andrew sitting next his parents and coach and brother and his childhood dream only a sentence away. So when the time finally came for Wiggins to go through the motions everyone knew was coming, the experienced freshman didn't delay or pander.
Instead he smiled. The same bright smile he flashed numerous times in the past year.
Beyond setting the Kansas freshman scoring record, or sharing Sports Illustrated covers with names such as Chamberlain and Manning. Wiggins came to Kansas because he believed it would best help him develop and mature.
KU coach Bill Self knew he'd done just that.
"The time is right for Andrew," Self said. "He had an unbelievable freshman year for us."
that year included scoring 593 points and helping the Jayhawks earn their 10th straight Big 12 Championship. That year included games where Wiggins would put up 41 points in a meaningless loss, and net just three in the biggest game of the season. That year would start with enormous hype and end with even larger pressure.
And that year didn't end the way it was supposed to.
"This is a happy day," Self said while watching his fourth one-and-done in the last five years. "When student-athletes pick a school and go to college, they go for the chance to have the best life."
Although in many ways it did.
Not even a full year has passed since Wiggins made his last life-altering decision. On a mid-May morning in 2013, while most Kansas students were busy taking finals, Wiggins sat in a gym in Huntington, W.Va., and told reporters he was following his heart. That after taking his time and considering every option, Kansas had won him
over.
The process didn't need to change much this time around. Other than consulting a different coach, Wiggins talked things over with his family and spent as much time making up his mind as he needed to.
He thought about his dad and his dream to play in the NBA like he did. He thought about the Kansas fans and Allen Fieldhouse.
"I wish I had more time," Wiggins said. "I can see why people stay four years."
Not that this will be the last time Wiggins ever comes to Lawrence. He said he'll still
return to train with the team and he's working toward his degree.
He'll just do so as a nontraditional student. He couldn't pass up the moment he came to college for.
So on an afternoon that Self proclaimed Andrew Wiggins Day, his teammates, family and friends waited for Wiggins to step up to the microphone. And when he did there was no hiding that smile.
"I've decided," Wiggins said.
"I'm going to enter the draft."

Coach Price will throw his midweek starter Drew Morovick Tuesday night against Wichita State. The junior righty has compiled a 5-1 record in six starts with striking out 27 for a 3.38 ERA.
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
After seeing some of the finest pitchers in the Big 12, with the series against Texas and Oklahoma to start conference play, the Jayhawks will likely see Cale Elam on the mound. He has a 5-0 record in six starts with a 1.47 ERA and was recently named Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week.
["The] Big 12 is one of the best pitching conferences in the country", junior short stop Justin Protacio said. "Against Wichita State, we are just going to have get on the board early and get some runs. It's always business when you play your in state rival".
"Not to take credit from Wichita State, but you're not going to see a Friday night guy like you do in the Big 12 with Wichita State," senior catcher Kaiana Eldredge said.
After a conference battle with the Oklahoma Sooners, where all three games were decided by one run, including a walk off double in game three, the Jayhawks are ready to take a break from deadly Big 12 pitching. Kansas (18-10) will do just that when the Jayhawks welcome in-state rival Wichita State Shockers (16-10) at Hoglund Ballpark.
Still, after just missing the tournament last year due to the lack of success in their
In the Jayhawks' home opener on March 11, they lost in a midweek contest against Oral Roberts by a score of 8-7. They dropped a pair of weekly matchups on the road against New Mexico before hitting their way to an 11-0 win against Creighton last Wednesday.

well against midweek guys, so we need to do what we did against Creighton to get some momentum heading into this weekend," said Eldredge.
Sunday's walk off winner had a different lineup card than normal. Sophomore first baseman Ryan Pidhaichuk was penciled in at first, sophomore second baseman
"I thought they were exploiting our right handed batters, so I changed our pattern up to do more with our short game with our left handed batters," said Price.
Tommy Mirabelli at second, and freshman outfielder Joven Afenir in for junior outfielder Connor McKay in right field.
Offensively, the Jayhawks picked it up on Sunday with a few more base hits, but are desperate for another offensive outing like the one at Creighton. As a team they are hitting just .297, driving in 197 runs. McKay still has a conference best 34 RBIs to go along with his .324 batting average.
It remains to be seen what Coach Price will do with 2013 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, Jordan Piche', who was touted as the one of the premier closers in the conference coming in for spring. After Sunday's ninth inning meltdown, where Piche' blew his fourth save consecutive save opportunity, fifth overall, Piche' will likely have a different role this week.
"Him and I are going to talk, we will get him straightened out; we have to get his mindset right," said Price. "I may change his role for a bit to take that pressure off him."
First pitch of this instate weeknight matchup will be at 6 p.m. tonight.

University raises funds for Villagomez memorial tree
International Student Services has begun to raise money through KU Endowment for a tree to be planted in memory of Gianfranco Villagomez, a University graduate student who died in December of 2013 after sustaining a head injury after a fall on the 800 block of Avalon Rd.
The University has priced the cost of the project at $1,000, including expenses to cover not only the cost of the tree and the planting of the tree, but also the cost to maintain the tree as well as some guarantee that the tree should be able to be replaced if something were to go wrong with it.
According to Chuck Olese, the director of International Student Services, the tree is to be planted near Marvin Hall, a spot picked because of the time Villagomez had spent in the building as an undergraduate.
"We felt like it would be appropriate to extend some sort of a memorial for his memory given that he was so active on campus in so many different areas — both academically and socially — and that so many people knew him," Olcese said. "And because he was an international student, we thought it was appropriate for us to take the lead."
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
International Student Services had originally hoped to be able to raise the money and complete the project for Villagomez by this spring, but have now begun to set their expectations on having the project completed by December 2014.
Olcese also said that the project does not only allow people to contribute to the memory of Villagomez but it also allows students to contribute to the University's landscape and architecture plan.

will focus on and utilize transparency and openness to generate a more fluid, energetic feeling inside of the building.
The Business School has revealed its plans for a new building to be constructed near the corner of Naismith Ave. and Sunnyside Ave. The building is intended to promote a more open and social environment by using an atrium as a "social hub" to connect both the north and south wings of the building.
The building will be opened for classes in the fall semester of 2016, and will be composed of 19 classrooms, 202 offices, and two large auditoriums. The auditoriums will seat 350 people in the larger of the two, and 125 students in the other. The building
said. "You know, people come here, they go to classes and they leave because it's just kind of how it's built. That really is the focus. We're trying to make this the most user [and] student friend-
The concept of the building to utilize an atrium was something that was borrowed from the University of Chicago's Business School

"The building really is meant to be buzzing in a lot of ways," said Austin Falley, the School of Business' communications director. "We want people to see the things that are going on on all levels. We want students to be able to see the kind of activity and the buzz. When industry people come in to visit, we want them to feel the same way."

Junior from Overland Park
Preferred pronouns: He/Him/His
I knew I was probably gay at a young age, but I didn't really question it especially since I went to Catholic school. I was already kind of discriminated against because I am racially ambiguous. I'm also a little bit more feminine and my voice isn't the most heteronormative-straight voice in the entire world. I got made
tun of a lot for that, so I kind of repressed myself. I had a few hot girl friends, though, so that protected me from any super oppression. They would always stand up for me and be like "No, he's such a ladies man." But everyone knows that "ladies man" is just a term for calling someone gay without being mean.
Throughout high school I just ignored it, I guess, but my junior year I came out to my best friend as, surprise surprise, bisexual. I said it really offhandedly too, and she was like, "Cool, whatever," and went on with her life. We never talked about it again either, which was super awkward. I also dated a girl for a hot six months. She was pretty masculine, so it was sort of a way for me to tell people that I wanted to date a man. But she really helped me get comfortable with the fact that I knew I was probably gay. I mean, ultimately, what happened was I just fell for a guy at my high school. We were really good friends and I always had a feeling he was gay. I was like the third person he came out to; I was really excited for him and we just started casually dating behind everyone's back. Secret love: Romeo and Juliet. No one knew.
Eventually, though, we decided to come out to our parents at the same time. I always used Catholicism as an excuse to be in the closet, and he knew that, but I wanted to support him and agreed to do it. He had planned to throw this huge party for his coming out, but no one else in our friend group knew I was gay or that we were dating. So they were throwing this huge party for him even though I was coming out too. It was a little sad. But I came out to everyone anyway. I have two gay uncles on my mom's side of the family, so I obviously knew she would be OK with
it. She said that she had always had a feeling that I was gay and could just tell, even from when I was like 2 years old. But both of my parents were very accepting and it was pretty easy even though I rushed it upon them. The only person who didn't know for a while was my little sister, who was 12 at the time. After telling everyone, the majority of my friends said that they actually had wanted to date me but also knew that I was probably gay. That was kind of the general feeling. I mean, I embrace my femininity and I've never really tried to hide that.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST SURPRISE SINCE COMING OUT?
Looking back on it, I honestly would have rather come out in my own time. I was just star-struck in love, and wanted to appease someone else. I think the most surprising thing is

Growing up, I had really short hair and tended to dress in clothes from the boys' section. My favorite clothes to wear were camo; I went through a crazy camo phase. It wasn't until around middle school that my mom wanted me to start growing my hair out for high school so I wouldn't get bullied. I did it. I guess I started dressing more feminine-
that I didn't do it when I wanted to do it, which is a little sad.
I came out to mostly gay people at first, just because I wanted to test the waters. I mean I knew they'd all obviously be fine with it, so I came out to my older sister's gay friend and he helped me come out to her. I am also a twin, though, and she was actually the last person to know. My twin sister and I have kind of a strange relationship, because a lot of things just go unsaid. Being so close, her opinion mattered most to me so I was very nervous about what she would think or say. One of our mutual friends

Coalitions round out platforms as elections near

"It's not our first 100 days that motivate us but our last 100 days," said Marcus Tetwiler, student body president.
The current Student Senate executive staff will pass over responsibilities after elections in under two weeks, but it doesn't mean they're slowing down anytime soon.
Platforms are still coming to fruition, such as Student Body Vice President Emma Halling's initiative to install lockable cellular charging stations in downtown bars
In fact, Halling said the installation in at least highly popular bars is slated to begin in April after the University's General Counsel reviews plans.
The lockers would be smaller than those in the recreation center but can be accessed by a similar self-set code with chargers for a variety of devices inside. Halling received approval from
the Student Safety Board to purchase the machines.
Halling said it's important students have access to rape crisis lines and cellular applications like SafeTrek immediately, especially in the downtown area.
"You can give people as many apps as you want, but if their phone is dead, it doesn't matter." Halling previously told The Kansan.
"There aren't many buildings that you walk in and it's evident that there was a heavy student hand in the creation of all this," said Said.
Student health was a priority of the Student Senate this year, and the renovations of Watkins Health Center have progressed, said Morgan Said, current outreach director. Carpeting, paint colors and student artwork have already been chosen for the lobby of Watkins. Most of the renovations will occur in the summer.
Next week's voting results will decide the platforms for the 2014-2015 school year.
Three coalition platforms are outlined, but new initiatives have been added.
Crimson and True
An initiative released on March 27 encourages the University to license out textbooks and books already in the public domain, said Sara Anees, vice presidential candidate.
She said it would cut down the cost and increase the availability of textbooks. Members of Crimson and True would work with University Governance to make texts free or discounted.
"You can't get every book from the library." Anees said. "That's just inconvenient."
A privately-funded music festival is GrowKU's most recent initiative. The plan includes working with a student advisory board to bring a big-name act to Lawrence during Homecoming.

Telling my parents was different. My parents actually just sat me down one day and asked me about it. It was really random and I was kind of upset at the time. They had noticed that I was acting differently and said, "OK, we know you're acting weird, so either you're gay or you're on drugs." Like those were my two options. It just made me angry because I thought I was going to come out and not be outed. I feel like I missed the opportunity and I would have liked to have that.

Campus groups spread human trafficking awareness
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
Researchers at the Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Initiative (ASHTI) are working to develop a human trafficking prevention model based on what it determines to be risk factors and use it to build strong communities. They hope that it can use this model in other cities and rural areas, as well as internationally.
"Building a rich, resilient community network to draw on is really important," director of ASHTI, Hannah Britton said. "Having a strong community full of healthy communications, great social services those things are vastly important."
ASHTI is currently doing its research in Kansas City because of the regional collaboration with the government, civic organizations, social workers and academia. Kansas City is also unique because of its location in the middle of the city.
"It's a great time to be doing this right here in Kansas City because we are linked in with these wonderful networks that are very focused and determined to make a difference," Britton said.
According to the Polaris Project, which is the leading organization fighting against human trafficking, there were 27 high risk calls in the state of Kansas from January to June last year.
"I think a lot people are unaware that we have contemporary slavery, that it is extreme exploitation," Britton said. "It's happening in the midst of our daily lives."
The Coalition Against Slavery and Trafficking (KU CAST) works to spread awareness on campus, so more work can be done to combat trafficking.
KU CAST junior Susie McClannah said, "It's easy to not think about when you don't see it every day."
Fundraising coordinator of
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, approximately 2.5 million people worldwide are victims of human trafficking at any given time. In Kansas from 2007 to 2013, there were 541 phone calls placed to the crisis hotline run by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center. According to the office of the Kansas Attorney general, both Kansas City and Wichita are considered major heaven cities for human trafficking.
By identifying what factors cause a trafficking instance, like poverty and not being able to speak English, ASHTI and KU CAST hope that they can prevent these patterns.
Britton says that often trafficking and exploitation happens right out in the open, but people are often unaware of what modern slavery looks like.
Both KU CAST and ASHTI believe this is important because of the human rights violations, but also because of the growth and evolvement of trafficking.
"It's still around, but it has a different face and way it's
done," ASHTI researcher and graduate student Daniel Alvord said.
McClannahan added that currently the number of enslaved people is at a world high.
In order to help aid victims, ASHTI is also working to build a medical-legal partnership clinic that would provide services to victims. They are also working to develop a graduate level certificate for the study of human trafficking.
"We think of it as three legs of one stool," Britton said. "So now we are actively waiting on funding."

ENVIRONMENT
Alumnus starts sustainable farm after graduation
KATE MILLER news@kansan.com
The idea of becoming a farmer had never crossed the mind of Steven Hallstrom.
As a University alumnus who graduated last May with a degree in environmental studies, Hallstrom was just one step closer to becoming an environmental lawyer.
"Ultimately, what I wanted to do was make some sort of impact on the whole environmental aspect of anything really," Hallstrom said. "Originally, I thought [being a lawyer] was the best way to do that. I really just started to learn more and more [that] that's really not how I wanted to approach what I wanted to do. So then, I decided to trade the desk and suit and tie for the fields and the dirty hands."
Hallstrom is now the owner of Hallstrom Farms, a sustainable agriculture company just outside Lawrence, in Tongianoxie. His property totals 55 acres and Hallstrom is currently farming five acres with the help of his friends and family.
Hallstrom has also created the Community Supported Agriculture program, in which locals from the Lawrence and Kansas City area can purchase bags of fresh fruits and vegetables weekly or seasonally. Full-sized bags can feed a family of four. However, students can also purchase the half-sized bag, offered only in Lawrence. Bags contain seasonal produce, as well as recipes and recommendations on how to cook and prepare the produce. Hallstrom anticipates delivery to begin the first week of May and run through the end of August.
"My hopes are that we get a good year as far as weather," Hallstrom said. "But ultimately I would like to, over the next
two to five years, expand to a much larger operation. This year I'll probably be able to fit about 40 people [on the program]. It would be awesome to be able to provide 100 families with produce."
Although his family has a history of conventional farming, Hallstrom had to educate himself on the methods of sustainable farming during his last year at the University.
"At KU, there's really not a good path you can take to learn anything agricultural," Hallstrom said. "I really had to create my own path and through independent studies, I did a project on sustainable agriculture. In that, I was able to make and prepare a plan for the farm that I'm actually executing now."
Hallstrom explained that his farm is different from conventional agriculture because of the way he grows his crops.
work, his responsibilities will vary from day to day. Harvesting is done in the morning before the sun comes up, and then Hallstrom spends the rest of the day weeding, planting and cultivating.
"Conventional is primarily just corn, soybeans and wheat, and there are also a lot of pesticides and sprays. Sustainable agriculture is really the idea that you are doing exactly the opposite," Hallstrom said. "Instead of focusing on just corn, wheat and soybeans and building up a ridiculous surplus of these things, you produce a wider amount of species to encourage biodiversity and things like that."
His days begin early, as he commutes from Lawrence to the farm in the mornings. Hallstrom explained that due to the seasonal nature of his
True to the nature of sustainable agriculture, Hallstrom Farms grows more than 50 different species of crops, mainly different kinds of potatoes, onions, beans and tomatoes. With such a large number of crops, Hallstrom's days are full of agricultural work.
Hallstrom has recruited volunteers from his time at the University to assist him. One of these volunteers is senior Jacob Suenram, whom Hallstrom met through the dorms. Suenram, who is from McPherson, is also an environmental studies major, and has been assisting Hallstrom since the beginning of the project. Although he has conventional farming experience from when he was younger, Suenram said that Hallstrom Farms is very different from the farm he worked on in the past.
hand, mostly. Just at least from the days I've been out there we've planted probably 4,000 onions and maybe a thousand potatoes."
"The farming I did back then was so much different," Suenram said. "A lot of the planting we do out at Steven's farm is by
Despite the hard labor, Suenram thoroughly enjoys his time out on Hallstrom Farms.
"We've been friends forever — it doesn't even seem like work to it." Suenram said.
Although farming as a profession did not occur to him during his years at the University, Hallstrom now enjoys running his own farm.
"Nobody gets rich farming, but I feel good about what I'm doing." Hallstrom said. "The best part of what I'm doing now is that I am my own boss, so I can really handle what I do however I like. It's nice to have that freedom to determine how I'm going to make my living."

Dear Student Body Prez,we were glad to protect your sandwich in the lovely lands of Schutz.
My roommate's cat always jumps in my lap while I'm doing homework. The issue? He's always soaking wet.
Bravo to the UDK, I legitimately complained to a friend about wifi costing money next year. April Fools!
Is it sad that it took me 10min this morning to figure out that the UDK was fake today?
To the guy with the anti-voting t-shirt idea: if you make them we will buy them.
The IDK? may just be the best thing to ever happen on a Tuesday SooO funny.
I would definitely buy a shirt to keep tablers away...
I don't know what I keep expecting, but I continue to look for actual information today and the effort is clearly wasted on April 1st.
Blue from blues clues was a Blue Baltic Boarder Blood hound puppy, from the small island of Bainbridge off the Baltic coast.
So I have not heard how the Whale in Potter's lake is doing for a while now. Has anybody else?
I literally took the bus from outside Budig to Fraser just so I could avoid the people tabling for Jayhawkers and GrowKU. Social anxiety at its finest.
Was anyone else panicking when they read the House of Cards article? My heart was racing until I realized it was April Fool's day.
Legitimately had a 10 minute conversation with my mother complaining about paying for wifi...wow.
Severus Potter as the media director and content strategist for the Daily Kansan? Someone's been doing some wistful thinking.
The answer is iodine. I'm a bartender and I never get sick. 1. Because I wash my hands every 5 seconds and 2. iodine in the bar sinks kills everything.
It wasn't until I read the article about the Hawk that I realized the UDK was joking. Isn't that sad?
Well played, UDK. Well played.
Don't become polarized by ideological groups
DEOLOG
Ideologies of any kind are dangerous in nearly every way imaginable. They box out progress, create backwards groupthink and polarize groups that aren't necessarily working against one another.
I'm of course talking about the " -isms." They come in many forms, political, social, you name it, there's no end to them. It seems like they're more popular than ever with the advent of the internet. Increased communication means an increase in groups forming and generating ideals.
The most basic way ideologies have brought modern America to its knees is in the two-party system. I'm sure that it's better to convince America to give up Thanksgiving before they did
the two-party system. But that's not for lack of trying.
The reason they're stuck in place is that all of the money is within those formed groups. Political action that doesn't fall within their boundaries is labeled fringe and promptly dismissed.
As goofy as some of their ideas were, the Tea Party were a perfect example of abnormal politics being squashed.
By Wil Kenney
opinion@kansan.com
What was telling (and what I learned the most from that shebang) was the Tea Party wasn't taken and shattered to pieces. They were split consciously and effectively via the machinations of the two parties in power. They said, "Hey, look at how crazy these nutters are. Aren't you glad we aren't as bad as them?" And then absorbed
what was leftover into one of the two parties.
The Tea Party was quickly run over and turned into an ad campaign. That's the ultimate extreme of groupthink and the acceptance of societal "givens" by the public.
These examples run rampant throughout social and political spheres.
It's a logistics problem. Most individuals can't get anything done without supporters and money. That means groups. That means
mottos and party platforms and, worst of all, ideologies
I read an argument recently that the worst possible way of trying to solve a social problem is to determine an end goal and work toward it. The problem with that approach is that you make sacrifices along the way to reaching that goal. Ideas come and go in the process but can be dumped for the sake of that end result.
The same goes for overarching political groups and social collectives. Determining that "this right here is what's wrong with the world, we must solve this" is setting yourself up to box out alternative (and likely more effective) solutions and approaches.
to affect change on their own. I'm not advocating the dissolution of these groups, because they can sometimes do some good. I am pushing for self-evaluation.
I realize the issue of individuals being unable
I hope that if we look inward at the factions, groups,and societies we claim as "allies" and "good guys," we can rediscover solutions and reform problems within those institutions.
While this is all very nebulous and based in ideas rather than actions, I think it's absolutely essential to demand political and social groups that aren't shackled to the mantra they've got plastered on their wall.

RELIGION
There is no good argument against same-sex marriage
Always a controversial topic, same-sex marriage and LGBTQ rights are some of the most talked about and most prominent movements in America today. I myself am not gay, but I've never had a problem with gay marriage. Personally, I've never understood the argument against it.
The most common argument against same-sex marriage is that multiple prophets and disciples, (such as Timothy, Leviticus, Corinthians among others) say in the bible that same-sex relations are an "abomination" or are only for the "sexually immoral."
By G.J. Melia
opinion@kansan.com
With all that being said, everything I have read gives no real reason why it is considered such an "abomination." In addition, I have not seen one passage where Jesus speaks out against same-sex marriage and being gay in general.
I was raised in a Christian family and practiced the religion until I was 16 years old. From personal
In the bible, Jesus explicitly speaks out against divorce. And in our society, divorce is becoming much more prevalent. This being in a society that is incredibly built off of Christian influences, and the majority of people in the United States actively practice Christianity.
experiences at church, bible studies and youth groups, I was supposed to take the bible as the word of God and his followers. I was taught to take almost everything out of it as truth and lessons to live by.
It doesn't make sense to me how many of these religious leaders and groups are accepting of people who get divorced, and yet are so hateful against people being gay. Some of these figures believe same-sex marriage is disrupting the purity of marriage.
If anything, divorce is harming marriage when upwards of two million people in the United States are getting divorced yearly. That's almost half of all marriages ending in divorce.
Some of the leaders and groups against same-sex marriage also believe being gay is a choice. But if you are someone who thinks this, may I pose this question: when did you 'decide to be heterosexual? You probably don't know. Just like I don't know.
Which brings up the point of the House Bill
2453, nearly passed here in Kansas and also Arizona. The anti-gay segregation bill would grant business owners the ability to reject job applicants on the basis of perceived sexual orientation.
There was also House Bill 2203 passed last year that denies protection for sexual orientation in the hiring process. This bill overrides the anti-discrimination clause that was approved in the city of Lawrence.
To me, this is exactly the circumstance that the Civil Rights Movement strived to prevent. It is blatantly discriminatory. It is the same as store owners in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s denying African-Americans service or work solely because of the color of their skin.
The final factor in my misunderstanding towards the argument against being gay, is why does anyone care? Why should anyone care who someone else wants to be with? It has zero effect on your life, so why should you even be able to have an opinion on it? It's not for you decide. Believe what you want to believe, but don't force it upon others.

If you don't have a TV, you're weird. But undoubtedly you're also missing one of the great new series this spring. "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" is a 13-part, science documentary series that airs Sunday nights on FOX. Narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the show explores a handful of scientific theories that explain the workings of our universe. A reboot of the 1980 TV series presented by Carl Sagan, "Cosmos" is intensely interesting and entertaining. If you haven't yet, watch it.
Lauren Armendariz, managing editor
larmendariz@kansan.com
Amazingly enough, a documentary that talks entirely about science caused an uproar with the airing of its second episode, titled, "Some of the Things That Molecules Do." The episode aired Sunday, March 16, and presented an explanation of evolution and the origin of life. A science documentary explaining a scientific theory — how shocking.
Creationist groups are furious, with some even demanding equal airtime to explain their own "theory" of the origin of life on Earth. Now look, I don't want to get in a debate over creationism versus evolution, frankly because I don't want to have to explain freshmen-level science to someone who writes an angry letter to the UDK. This is America after all, and you're entirely free to believe whatever you want, even if you're completely wrong.
HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The issue here is much more simple — why should the creators, financiers and producers of Cosmos devote airtime to an idea they don't
HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER GUIDELINES
Send letters to opinion@kansan.com. Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the email subject line.
So to the creationists out there complaining — it's not Neil de Grasse Tyson's job to adapt his program. Evolutionists have "Cosmos," where they present their explanation of proven, testable theories of science. Creationists have the Creation Museum, located in scenic Petersburg, Ky., where they present explanations of their beliefs. Naturally, consumers will select one or the other.
Preston Bukaty is a graduate student from Overland Park studying law.
If only creationists could understand. See, it's not up to "Cosmos" to provide a fair and balanced view. If creationists want to create their own documentary series titled, "Genesis: A Biblical Odyssey," that's entirely their prerogative. It could explore the handful (literally, one hand's worth) of biblical theories that explain the workings of our universe. I probably wouldn't watch it, but I'm sure some people in Kansas would.
By Preston Bukaty opinion@kansan.com
believe in? Tyson recently criticized the media for even considering the idea, reminding us that in science, there are no fair and balanced views. This is science, not CNN. Some people are right; some people are wrong. The theories adapt, humanity progresses, and hopefully soon we'll have hoverboards. That's how science works.

The University's theater department offers students an escape from the stress and pressure of college life by taking them into new worlds and realities portrayed on stage by the University's very own student actors and technicians. The department's goal is "to educate the theater artists of tomorrow," according to the department's website.
the theater department, along with its staff, dedicates countless hours and much effort to its students to help them achieve their hopes and dreams of one day being known, whether it be on stage or screen, in the spotlight or backstage.
"I've learned a lot about auditioning and just being a

perfectly fine" Nevins said. He said his role as Balthasar in the production "Much Ado About Nothing" was a great experience for him because he got to play his guitar on stage and that was something he wanted to do later on in his professional acting career. Being in a show requires working on it on average five days a week for six weeks plus dress
rehearsals and actual performances. So why do they do it? For the love of the arts, of course.
Mechele Leon, the chair of the department, said she loves doing what she does, being so involved and basically running the department.
"I get to do the two things I love most," Leon said. "I get to make theater, which I have been doing my entire life, and I get to nurture the talents and dreams of young women and men who want to make their lives in a creative art."
The department's next masterpiece is "More Than You Know: A Helen Morgan Cabaret" at the Robert Baustian Theatre and was written and performed by Lauren Stanford. This show is a performance benefiting the FROTH Student Enrichment Fund.

Freshman pitcher steps up in Wichita State win
土
BEN FELDERSTEIN sports@kansan.com
Kansas found itself in an all too familiar situation Tuesday night. An all too familiar situation, with a different face.
for the second straight game and the third time in the last four games, Kansas was clinging to a small lead headed to the ninth inning. The first two times this happened, senior
right-hander Jordan Piche' was given the task to close out the game
LANSA
However, on Tuesday freshman Stephen Villines heard his number called to close out a 4-2 Kansas victory. Villines came on in the eighth inning and got a quick fly out to center.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN Shortstop Justin Protacio fields a hard hit ground ball during the 6th inning. Kansas defeated Wichita State 4-2 Tuesday night.
"I didn't find out until mid-way through the game," Villines said. "Coach put it up on the board late and I got mentally prepared."
A strikeout and two fly outs to center in the ninth got Villines his second save of his freshman campaign. His fastball was tailing, his slider was breaking and his release point had hitters baffled.
"He looked like the Big 12 Newcomer of the year out there..."
"It was like any other night for me," Villines said. "It's always just get in there and throw strikes. It's fun out there in the ninth, a little bit of an adrenaline boost."

Even though Villines was not in the know, the decision had
"We knew coming in," Coach Price said. "We're trying to switch up roles. We needed to approach the game a little differently."
Piche' got the nod a little bit earlier on in this game. Due to recent struggles, Piche' found himself in the set up role in the seventh, looking for a hold, not a save.

Piche' retired the Shockers in order, two by way of strikeouts and one ground out to short. Piche' looked like the Piche' of old Tuesday night.
and he was poised to only get better.
"That was fun," Piche' said. "That was an enormous confidence builder. I haven't felt that good on the mound in a while."
Piche' was dominant. He threw eight pitches in the seventh. His fastball was hitting 92-93, his slider was devastating and his changeup had hitters off-balance.
"He looked like the Big 12 Newcomer of the year out there." Price said. "This was a great outing for him. It was really good to see him back in rhythm and be dominant."

Coming into 2014, the Kansas bullpen had a different makeup than Tuesday night. Piche' was coming off a dominant year. He led the Big 12 in saves, he won multiple awards
Villines is a goofy freshman from Lake Forest, Calif., who weighs 146 pounds and throws a mid-80's side-arm fastball. No one expected him to be closing games for a division one program.
But where Piche' has struggled, Villines has thrived. Villines has allowed 13 hits this season with a .40 ERA over
has painted it "I keep mixing up looks," Villines said. "My release throws hitters off. But I'd be nowhere without Kai (Eldredge) and the defense behind me."
Piche' came into the game struggling with an ERA in the mid fours. He had blown five saves, four consecutive and
had not been looking himself. But as Price preaches, the key to a team's success is finding the right roles for everyone. Piche was dominant in the seventh. He was untouchable.
"I'm happy for Stephen," Piche' said. "He looked great out there. It's been fun to teach him, kind of show him the ropes out there. He's a guy that pays attention and really wants to learn."
earlier Villines was a bridge to Piche' in the ninth, going forward it seems the roles have reversed.
"He's going to pitch the ninth," Price said. "That's going to be his role going forward."

Obama welcomes World Series champion Red Sox
MLB
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama welcomed the World Series champion Red Sox to the White House Tuesday, praising their triumph on the field while hailing them as a symbol of their city's "grit and resilience" in the wake of last year's Boston Marathon bombing.
@narackObama" he quickly tweeted.
Not all of the ceremonial greeting was quite so serious. David Ortiz, Boston's best-known player, presented the president with a Red Sox jersey emblazoned with "Obama" and the number 44 on the back, then promptly took a cell phone picture of himself and the chief executive. "What an honor, thanks for the #selfie
And Jonny Gomes, an outfielder, strolled the White House grounds dressed in a sports jacket that looked like an American flag, stars on one half, and stripes on the other. Standing in front of players and team officials, Obama noted that the Red Sox have won three championships in the past decade, more than any other team.
Three people were killed and more than 260 injured nearly a year ago in a bombing at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox staged a tribute to the victims on the field and had "Boston Strong" symbols sewn into their uniforms. "The point is, Boston and the Red Sox were one," Obama said.
He said sports sometimes "seems like it's trivial, it's just an entertainment. And then, every once in a while, you're reminded that sports represents something else and it has the power to bring people together like almost nothing else can."
"When they visited bombing victims in the hospital, when they played ball with kids getting cancer treatment, when they started a program to help wounded warriors get treatment at Mass General (Hospital), these guys were saying, 'we're all on the same team.' Obama, a Chicago White Sox fan, wished Boston good luck this season, then added, "May the best Sox win."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We're going to turn over every rock possible as we move forward here. We'll continue to add to the competitive depth to our roster, and that's what we do every day."
John Dorsey, Kansas City Star
FACT OF THE DAY
In 2013, the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to earn the number one draft pick and be the last undefeated team in consecutive years.
— NFL.com
Q: When was the Chiefs' last playoff win?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: January 14, 1994 against the Houston Oilers.
ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW
Chiefs fans shouldn't undermine Dorsey just yet
I'm going to assume that Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey has a plan. Dorsey, after all, is the same guy that pieced together a historic offseason just a year ago, spearheading KC's transformation from league laughingstock to playoff lock. Prior to that, he experienced sustained success as the Green Bay Packers' Director of Scouting, helping the Pack gain a reputation as one of the NFL's best-drafting teams.
So I guess that I won't question the fact that, after three weeks of free agency, Kansas City has done absolutely nothing to improve its situation heading into next season. I won't question that it signed a 28-year-old Canadian Football League receiver in lieu of a proven NFL wideout to address its needs at the position. Heck, I won't even question that it let three starters from its offensive line walk without the slightest attempt to bring any of them back.
Reality is, the NFL is a business first and the Chiefs simply don't have the

.
finances to be big-time players this off-season. The repercussions of Dwayne Bowe's ill-advised $56 million contract are beginning to be felt, seriously reducing Kansas City's potential to dip into this year's free-agent pool. A bit worrisome, yes, but signing marquee, high-dollar free agents has never been Dorsey's M.O.
Dorsey is the closest thing that the NFL has to a Billy Beane (Moneyball); he prefers undervalued players fit well in his team's system. While not necessarily popular with fans, a move like allowing Pro-Bowl lineman Branden Albert to leave KC to be overpaid in Miami is just how Dorsey does
business. The situation with departed Dexter McCluster was a similar one — too much cash, not enough production. Simple logic, really.
Still though, Kansas City will surely need more than the milquetoast acquisitions it's made thus far into the offseason if they expect to compete in 2014. Why? You might recall that the
THE BREW
Chiefs drew a relatively easy schedule in 2013, not playing a team with a record over .500 until Week 11. Yeah, well, this season appears primed to be the exact opposite of that.
Six of KC's eight road games this season are against teams that finished. 500 or better in 2013. Toss in a couple of home matchups against the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, and the Chiefs' playoff chances in 2014 are looking cloudier than Willie Nelson's tour bus.
The last remaining opportunity for
Dorsey to upgrade before OTAs and training camp begin is through the upcoming draft. Though, with only one selection in the first 86 picks, he has his work cut out for him. The Chiefs GM has a plethora of roster issues still to address, but limited cash and draft picks to address them with, Concerning, sure, but
still not a reason to fret. Dorsey isn't just some dude that stayed at a Holiday Inn last night; he's done this before and he's done it well. So while the offseason admittedly hasn't gotten off to a desirable start in Kansas City, don't start the Dorsey bashing just yet. He's proven himself a great football mind in recent years and, one way or another, will provide coach Andy Reid with the tools he needs by the beginning of the season.

THE MORNING BREW Chiefs fans should give Dorsey a chance PAGE 7
Whether this happens or not next season is of course yet to be seen. However, when you're one of the oldest players and a senior on the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team, those are the types of acts that are going to be expected.
Edited by Cara Winkley
THE BREW THE BREW
if tharpe wants to be a positive influence not only on the team but around campus as well, these are the types of acts he must conduct.
COMMENTARY Tharpe photo shows poor leadership
It is a shame Self had to answer a question about such a subject in the first place. After all, it was meant to be a press conference for Wiggins, and it is the only one where he can announce and celebrate his dream of making it to the NBA.
Self told the Topeka Capital-Journal, "Obviously, we are aware and had it brought to our attention this weekend. Certainly extremely disappointed with what transpired and the judgement that went along with it. To say anything else publicly would be something that would be inappropriate at this time. It will be handled internally. It will be addressed, and it will be handled internally."
Self got his first chance on Monday when he was asked about the photo following Andrew Wiggins' press conference.
If marpe needs guidance on how to be responsible while using social media outlets like Twitter, he needs to look no further than his own teammates.
Instead of joy there was a bitter taste left, not because Wiggins won't be in a Jayhawks uniform next year, but because his day was somewhat tainted from the actions of another player.
In early March, Wiggins tweeted about issues involving campus safety awareness as well as telling people to follow @ JayhawkersKU and the #growku campaign. Needless to say, those couple tweets got more favorites and retweets than any University Twitter account would have.
By Matt Corte sports@kansan.com
In an age where college athletes' lives are seen more off the court than ever before, it's imperative that players start taking responsibility for their actions, especially on social media.
How much of a disturbance this will cause to the program is something we'll find out in the coming weeks or perhaps months, but for now coach Bill Self will have to do his best job remedying the situation.
Unfortunately, Naadir Tharpe never got this message. The soon to be senior and leader of the Jayhawks next year was the most recent culprit of a Twitter mishap involving a lewd photo.
Whether the photo was posted for a minute or a day is irrelevant, as it was still enough time for it to circulate the internet and cause commotion among sports fans.
jamari Trayor in Chicago.
We will have to wait and see what punishment Bill Self will hand down to Tharpe, but another suspension could be looming for the point guard.
As mentioned in Bill Self's quote, any disciplinary action will be handled internally by the basketball program, which apparently is a process Tharpe is getting way too familiar with. Just this season Tharpe was suspended internally for one game because he participated in an unauthorized summer league game while visiting teammate Jamari Traylor in Chicago.

Coach Ritch Price trotted out to home plate before Kansas' 4-2 victory over in-state non-conference foe Wichita State with a rather unique lineup card for home plate umpire Bill McGuire. In Tuesday night's matchup at Hoglund Ballpark, conference RBI leader Connor McKay and designated hitter Dakota Smith, who hit a walk off double on Sunday, were not penciled in on the scorecard.
"McKay has a slight hamstring and with how cold it was I didn't want to take a chance," Price said. "We were going to use Dakota out of the bullpen, it was to prepare him to pitch tonight."

sophomore second baseman Colby Wright. The Jayhawks were not done there.

Morovick got the nod on the mound and picked up his sixth win to push his record to 6-1 on the year. He had a six-inning outing, allowing just two runs off seven hits.
put on the board, it's easy to pitch because you know you have room to work with," said junior starting pitcher Drew Morovick.
The Shockers only scored twice, both in the fourth, despite out-hitting the Jayhawks 10-9. A leadoff walk was followed by a RBI double by senior second baseman Dayne Parker. Parker later scored on a sac fly to right. These were the only runs earned by the Shockers, thanks to superb defensive play by Kansas.
Countless times the Jayhawks made plays defensively to get themselves back in the dugout while leaving the Shockers stranded. In the fifth with runners at the corners and one out, Morovick forced sophomore shortstop Tanner Kirk to hit into a double play to get out of the jam.
"It makes it so much easier to pitch, I trust these guys that when I put a 2-0 fastball, and the ball gets laced, they will be able to make a play on it," Morovick said.
Perhaps the play of the game occurred in the top of the eighth. With Smith on the mound, the Shockers had runners at the corners with no outs looking. Their best hitter junior first baseman
Casey Gillapsie shot one down the right side before first baseman Ryan Pidhaic-huck, who just took the field for Blair Beck, made a diving snag then turned and tagged first for the double play.
"That play won us the game," Eldredge said.
Following its six hit-inning, the Kansas offense only mustered three hits the remainder of the game but was able to hang on. Suiter had a flawless day at the plate with two singles and two walks.
Jordan Piche' came into the seventh rather than his usual closing role to retire the Shockers. He struck out two before handing the ball to Smith. Freshman Stephen Villines picked up his first collegiate save by allowing just one hit in 1.1 innings pitched.

Former standout Kansas player leaves legacy

sports@kansan.com
Kansas alumni softball player Maggie Hull-Tietz loved softball ever since she could remember.
"As soon as I could walk I was hitting the ball off the tee," Hull-Tietz said.
"Most people know that they're going to play in college. They're training for that goal," she said.
As for wanting to play softball in college, early in her high school career she didn't know that was an option.
"Being from Lawrence, KU was my dream school to play at," said Hull-Tietz. "We didn't look at any other schools. We committed to KU our junior year in high school."
After Hull-Tietz' sophomore year at Free State, she received All State Honors. Her coaches approached her and said she was good enough to play at a college level, but if it's something she really wanted to do, she would have to work hard.
That summer is when her and her twin sister Rosie Hull started the recruiting process and played for a competitive team. "It was really important for us to play together," said Hull-Tietz.
Hull-Tietz left her mark on the Kansas softball program. In her freshman season, she was one of two freshmen to start in every game. She led
to the All-Big 12 second team for her efforts. Other awards she won that season were the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region Second Team, Team Big Jay Award and Academic All-Big 12 First Team.
In 2012, her junior year, Hull-Tietz started in each game and broke the University's single-season record

"I decided to enter the draft really quickly. It's one of those things you don't turn down."
MAGGIE HULL-TIETZ former Kansas softball player
Irser sophomore season was when things started to mesh together for Hull-Tietz. She started in every game and led the team with a .346 batting average on 56 hits. 14 of those hits were doubles, with nine being home run. She recorded 49 RBI on the season as well. She was named
the team that year with nine sacrifice hits.
with a .409 batting average. She also tied the University's record for runs scored on the season with 46. That season she was named All-Big 12 First Team, Academic All-Big 12 First Team, Team MVP, Capital One Academic All-District and Team Captain.
In her senior season at Kansas, Hull-Tietz started in every game, placing her in the starting lineup for KU in all 210 games in her college career. For the second straight season she broke the KU batting average record, hitting a .456, being the third-best single-season mark in the history of the Big 12. She placed herself at the top of the charts at Kansas being the all-time leader in career batting average with a .368, ranking second the conference. She also broke the school's career RBI record with 140. She was honored with 14 different awards her after her senior season.
"They [the professional teams] were scouting here during my junior and senior year, and I didn't even know," Hull-Tietz said. "I talked to my coach a week before the draft after practice. I

decided to enter the draft really quickly. It's one of those things you don't turn down."
Hull-Tietz was selected 11 overall in the National Pro Fastpitch Draft and signed with the Chicago Bandits. In her rookie season she posted a .250 batting average.
"I had a really great experience last summer playing with the most talented athletes in the world, but I have decided to not play this summer. The way that it's set up makes it hard to have a job." Hull-Tietz said. "It was a really really hard decision for me, but I have to prioritize other things in my life."
Hull-Tietz recently got married and accepted a position at Baker University as an assistant softball coach.
"Even though I'm not there [Kansas] anymore, it feels good knowing I left a legacy at Kansas and in the professional softball league," said Hull-Tietz.

Coalition referendum will not be included on this year's ballot
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
After much debate, the full Student Senate voted against the petition to include the student body in deciding whether coalitions should or should not be eliminated. The members voted at 11:45 p.m. on Wednesday during the final weekly meeting of the semester.
The referendum will not be included on the ballot next week, limiting students' chance to provide input about the current coalition system.
"I academically understand why people did that because, politically, people will never give anyone else the opportunity to eliminate that, which preserves their power," said Emma Halling, student body vice president.
She said she supported the
referendum to give students a chance to voice their opinions and found it "cowardly" that senators voted to prevent a popular vote.
Law senator Mark Savoy said he observed a split between coalitions represented in the room. Based on the raised hands, he said Grow KU members seemed to be in favor of the petition while Jayhawkers members opposed it.
"In no way was this something we coordinated," said MacKenzie Oatman, Jayhawkers' presidential candidate. "There were Jayhawkers that voted for and against it, as well as the other coalitions."
Oatman, who was not in the full meeting but who had previously attended meetings where this referendum was introduced, said she welcomes
the opportunity to present the student body with a choice, as long as they are properly informed about coalitions.
Many student senators against the petition thought the student body should be better educated about the role of coalitions. Other dissenters questioned whether the referendum was binding in addition to its restrictions on the right to assembly.
Savoy responded that restricting freedom of assembly was his greatest concern when the resolution was first introduced. In previous meetings, he has
"Can you speak on the implication of a possible no vote to this question and its conflict with a freedom to assemble or associate in this country?" said Ryan Moulder, a graduate student from Liberty, Mo.
mentioned he voted in favor of keeping coalitions at that time for the freedom of assembly.
Voting for student body president and vice president takes place on April 9 and 10.
"That being said, I think that student's speech is curtailed very narrowly by not allowing their opinions to be heard about coalitions," Savoy said.
Halling said if the petition had passed, the constitutionality questions could be directed to a legal department before introducing the referendum on the ballot. Students will not have the opportunity to choose whether or not to keep coalitions, or leave the option blank on the ballot.

The Student Senate spring elections debate will take place tonight from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union's Alderson Auditorium. Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates from the three contesting coalitions — Grow KU, Jayhawkers and Crimson & True — will give statements and answer questions.
What to expect from tonight's Student Senate debate
A panel of student journalists from KHK, KUJH and the University Daily Kansan will ask questions along with moderator and Chair of the Elections Commission Jake Rapp. For the first 30 minutes, after opening statements, VP candidates will address platform-specific questions prepared by student journalists. Presidential candidates will then respond to general panel questions and topics gathered from social media via "#KUSenateDebate" before and
during the debate for the final hour. Attendees may also submit a question as they arrive.
According to the Elections Commission's debate rules, coalition members will generally have two minutes to answer direct questions and one minute to respond to or rebut an opponent's remarks. The moderator will enforce this time limit by showing a "stop card," indicating the speaker must end his/her remarks within 10 seconds, which will ensure all candidates have equal speaking opportunities.
KUJH live event coverage will begin streaming online 15 minutes prior to the start and will continue throughout the event. Commission debate rules also prohibit campaign banners, signs, handouts or other such items in the debate hall. The audience is asked not to applaud or vocally show support or opposition for a candidate.

Campus sustainability to be enforced with 'green grades'
CENTRAL BURGER KANSAS
MADDIE FARBER
news@kansan.com
The University and Energy Solutions Professionals have developed a grading system for sustainability on campus in an attempt to "go green." Fume hoods, such as this one, that are left open will result in deducted points.
BRENT BURFORD/KANSAN
Starting this month, the University and Energy Solutions Professionals (ESP), whose goal according to its site is to provide "exceptional energy-efficiency and facilityimprovement solutions", are pushing the University to "go green" with a new energy policy and a little help from a group of University engineering students.
The ESP and the University have worked together since 2008 to implement energy policies on campus. Previously, ESP worked with the University to hold energy conservation competitions between the 39 main buildings on campus. The competition lasted a couple of months, and the purpose was to make certain buildings more energy efficient.
After deciding the competition wasn't as effective as they had hoped, a "grading system" to promote energy efficiency is being put into place this month.
"We feel that this is a more effective way to encourage behavioral changes when it comes to energy conservation," said Kristina Beverlin, a former KU student and Energy Auditor for ESP.
The grading system is separated into lab areas and individual temperature
controls. Each is based off 100 points.
Fume hoods are one of the main focuses of the grading of buildings with a lab setting. When experimenting with chemicals that are dangerous to breathe, researchers use fume hoods. The experimenter stands at the hood and mixes chemicals inside, allowing the vapors to be released outside.
"I believe everyone on campus would like to see a more efficient and environmentally friendly way of operating our campus."
GEORGE WERTH Campus energy engineer
"Because fume hoods are always running, they are very energy intensive. In order to be efficient they need to remain closed. When left open, the average fume hood costs $2,600 per year to run," Beverlin explained. "There are 422 fume hoods in the 39 core buildings that are audited. If they were all left open, it would cost $1,097,200 in energy costs."
For example, in lab areas, fume hoods should not be open more than four inches, according to Beverlin. For every 1 percent of the total fume hood sashes that are left
open in a given building, one point will be deducted. Other points will be deducted for lights left on, number of total coffee machines, projectors that are left running, windows and doors that are left open, computers left in "sleep" mode, just to name a few.
"Since each department is different, there is not a set of rules," Beverlin said. "Instead, we're grading on how energy efficient each building is. It will encourage different departments within each building to work together."
The grades for each building will be made public on the KU Sustainability website, which Beverlin hopes will be an incentive for the 39 core buildings to remain energy conscious.
Emily Cook, a junior from Olathe, decided she wanted to help the University be more energy efficient after going on a trip to Costa Rica with the GREEN program (Global Renewable Energy Education
"I believe everyone on campus would like to see a more efficient and environmentally friendly way of operating our campus," Werth said. "The new grading system is the way to start."
George Werth, campus energy engineer, thinks a greener campus can be realistically achieved through this grading system.
Networking Program) over this past winter break.
"Costa Rica is run 99 percent off of renewable energy. When I returned to America and to the new semester, I started asking questions about how KU uses energy and how KU wastes energy," Cook said. "I wanted to find out if there was a way for me, an environmental engineering student, to help KU be more energy efficient."
After meeting with Werth and Jeff Severin, director of the Center of Sustainability. Cook gathered a group of 13 engineering students to
perform energy audits.
"We just got started and I'm excited to see where this group goes and what information we gather," Cook said.
Cook said that she and the other 13 students will determine more of the behavioral side of energy waste — if lights were left on, windows open, projectors on, etc. Their goal is to help educate students and faculty on campus about simply turning off lights and electronics to save money.
"I've also been talking to some other administrators about the possibility of
renewable energy on campus. Energy waste is an issue that students and professors can directly change," she said. "This is an exciting time for KU in regards to sustainability; there seems to be a greater push from students to make KU more 'green'. I want to help make it happen."

The Combined Field Training Exercise is an opportunity for KU Army ROTC to train with cadets from neighboring schools.
Having special permission from the city and the University, the helicopters will land on the Shenk Sports Complex, located at 23rd and Iowa.

It's the first time the Black Hawks will actually fly over campus, said Howard Ting, a senior from Galloway, N.J. Usually, the helicopters use the Lawrence airport, but with special permission from the city and the University, the helicopters will fly in formation overhead as they come pick the cadets up for training.
"Basically we play Army and learn how the procedures in the Army are, how to follow orders and keep track of orders. It's like a small deployment," said William Trout, a freshman Army ROTC cadet from Basehor. "It's a really good opportunity to learn, and you learn by trial and error, like you would in a real situation."
It will include patrol training
in various settings, night and land navigation courses at Fort Riley, as well as pre-flight training on-site on boarding and dismounting the aircraft safely.
With 125 cadets participating in training, the Black Hawks will actually make two trips to transport the cadets, at 1 and 3

University hopes to receive project funding
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
Kansas legislators are hoping to have a budget proposal to discuss before Friday, when they will break for three weeks. Administration is currently working to insure that all of the University of Kansas' priorities will be included in the budget, including funding for a Translational Chemical Biology Institute (TCBI) and restitution of the 2013 salary capture.
Currently, the house budget is more generous to the University because it includes funding for the TCBI, which the senate budget doesn't. The University is working to make sure that the final budget is as close to the Governor's
budget, which included the TCBI funding, as possible.
"The TCBI is really important for companies who want to engage with workers," said Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs. "It will attract outside companies and resources, which is good for Lawrence. It's good for KU and it's good for Kansas."
The restitution of the salary capture is currently part of both the House and Senate budgets, which would help alleviate some of the cutbacks in the medical center.
Another priority for the University is the funding for the medical education building, which is part of the Health Education Initiative to train more doctors to
combat the shortage in Kansas. Without state funding and Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) refunds, the building wouldn't be possible and training more
"I'm hopeful that folks see what having a well-funded research institute will do for Kansas."
TIM CABONI Vice chancellor for public affairs
doctors would be difficult because the current facilities don't have up-to-date equipment.
"Basically the School of Medicine underwent reaccreditation and they found that the space was not adequate for the medical education curriculum," said Glen Cox, senior associate dean for medical education. "We want to build a home for truly interdisciplinary, interprofessional health education."
The main challenge that the budget faces is the recent court ruling for equal funding in K-12 schools, which might be addressed by seizing the FICA refunds.
However, Caboni is hopeful that the legislators will see the importance of the new medical building for students and for Kansans.
"I'm hopeful that folks see
what having a well-funded research institute will do for Kansas" Caboni said.
Edited by Chelsea Mies
HOW THIS AFFECTS STUDENTS:
The TCBI building would connect researchers with outside resources and companies to further research, which would boost the economy
The medical educational building would update the facilities and equipment that students use to train to become doctors, including simulation technology
Salaries that were cut in 2013 would be restored

Kobach urges tough bill on prairie chickens
POLICY LEADER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas Wildlife and Parks Secretary Robin Jennison, left, discusses efforts states were making to boost lesser prairie chicken numbers before the federal government listed the bird as a threatened species, during a news conference with Gov. Sam Brownback, right, Friday, March 28, 2014, at the Statehouse in Topeka.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - Secretary of State Kris Kobach pushed Kansas legislators Wednesday for an aggressive response to the U.S. government's designation of the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species, criticizing a committee for rejecting proposals to punish federal employees attempting to manage the bird's population.
regulation or treaty dealing with the lesser prairie chicken or its larger and darker cousin, the greater prairie chicken.
Kobach, a former law professor, supports a bill declaring that the federal government has no authority to regulate prairie chickens or their habitats in Kansas. He also backed making it a felony for a federal employee to attempt to enforce any law,
The state Senate approved a bill containing both provisions in February, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considered the listing for the lesser prairie chicken. The federal agency announced its decision last week, prompting Kansas to join a federal lawsuit filed by Oklahoma that challenges the process leading to the designation.
The Kansas House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee this week jettisoned the provision allowing felony charges against federal employees and an alternate proposal to fine them
$100 for each enforcement attempt.
Instead, the House committee's version of the bill allows the attorney general to go to court to block federal conservation efforts. The House expects to debate the measure in late April or early May, after lawmakers finish an annual spring break.
Kobach confirmed he had a staffer for his re-election campaign tweet on Wednesday, "URGENT ALERT - PRAIRIE CHICKEN BILL GUTTED! Call your state reps today."
"The ability of the state to step in and defend Kansas landowners is now restricted," Kobach told The Associated Press. "It's perplexing as to why they would do this."

Coalitions cause KU more harm than good
CON
Our country's practice of political parties has been more negative than positive. We can see this in University of Kansas' own
By Garrett Fugate

student government for which every year, coalitions are formed to battle over Student Senate. While I agree that political parties and coalitions are a practical necessity. I disagree with the way they are practiced.
Student coalitions—as they are practiced today—cause unnecessary divisions. It's very common for a coalition to have the same ideas on how to better our University or to run on similar platforms. The main difference seems to be the words each coalition uses. Students get caught up over their loyalties rather than the ideas they're supposedly standing for.
If students not working with a coalition are aware of similarities, students who are a part of these coalitions certainly are aware, as well. However, each coalition is pitted against one another and ignoring this, focusing more on attracting students to vote for them, rather than standing for some election-worthy vision. Perhaps each coalition begins with great ideas for the University, but this seems to fade during elections.
Rather than standing upon the political positions that make each unique, they advertise platforms and initiatives that would increase their popularity among students. This results in elections mutating into an ugly war between political parties over moot issues. It reminds me of high school when students running for senate would run on ridiculous platforms such as making every
Friday "Hat Day." Where is the vision in that?
To be sure, this isn't about the narrowness of single-issue voting. It's about single-sparkly-shiny-thing voting. At the end of the day, it leaves politically-
conscious students wondering why it really matters to vote for one coalition over another. As for those coalitions that do have great ideas, they take a backseat to campaigns driven by who can come up with the most attractive platforms.
Another aspect to this is how student elections end with the winner taking it all. No matter how many students vote for the second or third coalition on the ballot, their voices are not heard. Our party system would work a lot more democratically if more than one coalition could win seats, creating a true multi-party system where you might have majority and minority leaders.
Over the years, it has been very easy for me to lose faith in coalitions. Coming short of calling them popularity contests, they simply lose sight of their unique political message through the process of fighting to become that winner who takes all. While I cannot think of any other means other than forming coalitions for students to get directly involved in student politics, I do think the way they are run can be far more purposeful and sincere. Coalitions would function in a way that actually promotes the purpose of a party system: to present sets of ideologies and opinions for students to choose from.

Coalitions necessary for senate elections
By Jesse Burbank
opinion@kansan.com
Among all the reviled elements
of modern politics, few receive more animosity than political parties. Many accuse them of being highly divisive and domineering, existing
in a constant state of competition with one another. Some say they dehumanize candidates, turning them into simple puppets of the party message. Others deem them to be mere annoyances, saturating the public sphere with advertisements and volunteers aiming to get votes at all costs. One may understandably wonder why such baneful groups are allowed to exist at all. However, as history has shown, there is no viable alternative to the party system.
This is the situation that faces the student body in the ongoing debate over the existence of the coalition system. Just as parties are necessary to the functionality of the political system, coalitions are an indispensable element of Student Senate.
The benefits of coalitions are abundant. The coalitions offer a consolidated platform of ideas shared by a large group of students, which can be efficiently articulated to the student body for its consideration. By coming together to construct an organized set of ideals, candidates are able to create far-reaching plans to make the University of Kansas a better place for its students. After engaging in a constructive and reasoned debate over validity of their ideas, the student body is then able to cast their votes with confidence in the vision of KU that they are voting for.
Even for politically disengaged students, coalitions serve a vital role. By simplifying the election process
into a choice between two or three plans for the University, the coaliations offer all students the ability to make an informed decision about who to vote for.
Opponents of the coalition system pose
many of the same arguments made against political parties. However, one must think of the alternative to coalitions when considering these arguments. Instead of voters choosing between a small group of well-organized and well-known ideas, they would be forced into electing a fractured set of senators and executives, each holding their own conflicting ideas of what should be done. The business of Student Senate would be similarly chaotic, as each individual senator attempted to build a consensus around solutions that coalitions would have already provided.
The coalition system must be kept intact in order for Student Senate to continue to carry out its duties effectively and for the student body to know which path it is choosing for the University of Kansas. Coalitions provide senators with a set of common goals and students with a prospective plan for the University's future. Without them, student government would be a crippled and disorganized institution, absent of collective vision and action.
It is natural for people to come together around ideas they believe in. To eliminate student coalitions would deny senators and candidates the ability to organize around what they believe in.

Service workers rely on tips more than wages
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
A night out with your friends in college usually means one thing — spending money. It's the price of being social. Still, what's worse than having to pay for fun? The tip line that rips a few extra dollars out of your bank account.
As frustrating as the extra charge may be to a customer, those who work in the restaurant and bar industry feel the tug of that tip line even more. Yet, college students, who are usually tight with money, can't throw out small bills to those who serve them like others can.
Living in a college town like Lawrence means most of those people who serve us at bars or restaurants are in college, too, and depend on tips.
"College students don't understand that we make our money on tips, not on our hourly wage," MacMillan said. "When I mess up a drink or take a long time to get to a customer, I can understand getting shorted a tip. It's the times that I've done my job to the best of my ability that not getting tipped gets under my skin."
Dan MacMillan, a junior from Leawood, is a bartender at the Jayhawk Café and said it's very frustrating when he isn't tipped.
According to an article from The Huffington Post, half of the 350 schools reviewed in a GrubHub survey (one of the nation's largest online and mobile food ordering platforms) that were named in the top 10 most generous tipping schools were located in Michigan, while Virginia Tech took the top spot as the most generous tipping school.
"it's the times that I've done my job to the best of my ability that not getting tipped gets under my skin."
DAN MACMILLAN Leawood junior
So, what is the appropriate amount to tip? It depends on whom you ask.
Margie Benjamin, a junior from Overland Park and also a bartender at the Hawk, said she is never surprised when people don't tip because it happens so often, but that the right amount to tip depends on the drink that you buy.
"If you order a beer, a dollar is fine," Benjamin said. "If you order 10 shots, a few dollars for
a tip is appropriate."
Olivia Male, a freshman from Leawood, said she understands why college students feel that they can get away with not tipping, but Male says she disagrees with that notion and always tips. "I always tip a good waiter 20 percent," Male said. "I feel like you should always tip your waiter since essentially all of the money they make is from the tips. Although, if they weren't the best or had poor service, I tend to tip less."
MacMillan and Benjamin agree with Male and say that they find themselves tipping more generously to others as a result of their own jobs.
JANCE
Waiter/waitress:
"Ive worked both as a bartender and a server in the past, and it has really given me a deeper appreciation of Americans that work in the service industry to support themselves and their families," MacMillan said. "Having that sense has definitely caused me to leave a little extra when I can."
oil (bill, excl) tax for adequate service; 20 percent for very good service; no less than 10 percent for poor service.
The tip isn't just the added pain of being social; it's what allows you to be social. It's the money that buys you your drinks faster and gives you a great dining experience. Your bank account may be lacking, but so is the person's who served you.

CAPTAIN AMERICA
MARVEL STUDIOS
Latest 'Captain America' is one of Marvel's best
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier," the latest Marvel movie/merchandising monolith, has all the makings of another generic comicbook blockbuster. It's a toollong sequel with a few snappy one-liners, a third act that concludes with a predictable cacophony of explosions, and the usual end-credit previews for the next installment. Nothing new to see here.
Except, for the most part, it works.
Maybe it's the charm and chemistry between Chris Evans as our square-jawed hero, Steve Rogers, and Scarlett Johansson as his partner in global crime-fighting, Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow. Maybe it's the rock-em-sock'em, mano-a-mano action scenes that directors/brothers Anthony and Joe Russo stage. Maybe it's the top relevancy as the government Captain America defends seems to be turning on its own people, launching a worldwide satellite spying program that theoretically will have the ability to kill those presumed dangerous to the state. Whatever the case, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is one of the better entries in the franchise.
At the start of the movie, Rogers is undergoing some
emotional turmoil. A chance meeting with veteran Sam Wilson (an engaging Anthony Mackie), who works with soldiers struggling with PTSD, brings to the surface mixed feelings Rogers has about his role as Captain America, the genetically engineered defender of all things red, white and blue. Remember, he's originally a man from the 1940s and he's not sure his old-fashioned sense of what's fair has a place in this modern world.
His faith in the institutions around him is further shaken by the latest threat: The agency he works for, S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), has evildoers within its ranks. They are pushing for the new surveillance program, under the guise of protecting our freedoms.
It's up to Captain America to wage a one-man war against the people he used to trust. And who can he trust? Natasha? His no-nonsense boss, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson)? Government bureaucrat Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford)? His flirty next-door neighbor, Kate (Emily VanCamp, from TV's "Revenge")?
And there is the Winter Soldier of the title: another soldier, like Rogers, modified
to be indestructible, but one who takes orders from the bad guys. With all the world against him, how can Captain America hope to survive?
At 136 minutes, it takes the Russos, working from a script by Christopher Marcus, Stephen McFeely and Ed Brubaker, awhile to get to that answer. And you don't have to see one minute of the film to know what the answer is.
But there's enough fun and actual suspense along the way to make the whole affair entertaining. While the Russos made their mark in television —working on sitcoms like "Community" and "Happy Endings"-they've made the transition to big-budget action seamlessly. In fact, there's a car chase between Fury and the baddies that's especially convincing.
Be sure to stay through the credits as there are two previews wedged in there. After all, no matter how good "Captain America" is, it's really just a long commercial for promoting the whole Marvel enterprise.
Yet, if "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is indeed an augur of things to come during this special-effects laden summer, maybe it won't be such a painful season after all.
Colbert responds to Twitter controversy, deletes account
TELEVISION
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
NEW YORK — In his first night on the air since a campaign to #CancelColbert erupted on Twitter Thursday night, Stephen Colbert spent nearly his entire show Monday night responding to charges of racial insensitivity.
For anyone who missed out on the brouhaha, it all began Thursday evening when "The Colbert Report's" Twitter account quoted a joke from a segment on Wednesday's episode of the show that mocked Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder for setting up a charity to aid Native Americans in lieu of changing his team's name. In the original bit, Colbert said he was inspired by Snyder to start his own charity called "The Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever." (Ching-Ching Ding-Dong is the name of a cartoonishly stereotypical Asian character occasionally played by Colbert on the show.)
Out of context, however, some Twitter users thought the joke was offensive to Asian Americans, and within hours the hashtag #CancelColbert was a top trending subject on the social website.
Colbert humorously referred to the controversy on his personal Twitter account, @StephenAtHome but waited until Monday night to issue a full response
—and that he did, taking to task Comedy Central executives, the anonymous web editor responsible for the problematic tweet, conservative pundit Michelle Malkin and, oh yeah, the entire news media.
After an intro in which Colbert, clad in Redskins gear, had a nightmare featuring a cameo by actor B.D. Wong, the host dove right into the debacle. He explained that the joke originated in a segment about Snyder's charity that was rebroadcast multiple times on Thursday without incident. It was only when his show's promotional Twitter
account repeated the joke, without a link to the segment or a mention of Snyder's charity, on Thursday night, that a backlash ensued.
"Who would have thought a means of communication limited to 140 characters would ever create misunderstandings?" Colbert quipped.
Although he acknowledged why the tweet was misunderstood, Colbert expressed little sympathy with his critics. "When I saw the tweet without context, I understood how people were offended the same way I as an Irish American was offended after reading only one line of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal; 'Eat Irish babies', he said, referring to the essay
"Who would have thought a means of communication limited to 140 characters would ever create misunderstandings?"
STEPHEN COLBERT TV personality
in which the famed satirist urged impoverished Irish parents to sell their children to the wealthy as food.
And as Colbert pointed out, the #CancelColbert advocates think he's racist even in context, to which he responded, "I just want to say that I'm not a racist. I don't even see race, not even my own. People tell me I'm white and I believe them because I just spent six minutes devoted to explaining how I'm not a racist, and that is about the whitest thing you can do." However, Colbert did urge his followers to stop harassing the hashtag activist Suey Park, who initiated the Twitter campaign against him and has been subjected to a barrage of criticism online.
And he reserved some of his most obvious displeasure for "the brain trust" at Comedy Central that decided to delete the original tweet once "the twit hit the fan" ("That's how the Internet works, you
can just take stuff down and no one will know it ever happened. Just ask Mayor Weiner.") and especially for the news media.
The #CancelColbert controversy spawned a flurry of news stories in outlets including Time, the New Yorker and Salon, the last of which ran seven separate items on the controversy. Even CNN took a break from covering the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 "to report spotting what they thought was the wreckage of my show off the coast of Australia." Worst of all for Colbert, he was attacked by "fellow conservative" Michelle Malkin, who taught him about sensitivity to the Asian-American experience with her book, "In Defense of Internment," which defended the imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
"To recap, a Web editor I've never met posts a tweet in my name on an account I don't control, outrages a hashtag activist and the news media gets 72 hours of content," Colbert said. "The system worked."
As a result, Colbert decided to shut down operations of his foundation and broke the news to the group's supposed chief operating officer, "JaMes" (whose name is actually James). "That ends that controversy," he concluded. "I just pray that no one tweets about the time I said Rosa Parks was overrated, Hitler had some good ideas, or ran a cartoon during black history month showing President Obama teaming up with the Ku Klux Klan, because, man, that sounds pretty bad out of context."
Though he stopped well short of apologizing for the tweet, Colbert also seems committed to avoiding such Twitter misunderstandings in the future. Case in point: Later in the show, he welcomed Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, who helped him deactivate the @ColbertReport account, which, as of Tuesday morning, remained nonexistent.

Pot store general manager David Martinez labels containers of retail marijuana behind a sales bar fitted with a brochure available to customers at 3D Cannabis Center, a day before opening as a recreational retail outlet in Denver. Nationwide marijuana legalization seems inevitable to three-fourths of Americans, according to a new poll out on Wednesday. The Pew Research Center survey on the nation's shifting attitudes about drug policy also showed increased support for moving away from mandatory sentences for non-violent drug offenders.
POLITICS Kansas Senate passes bill voiding gun rules
TOPEKA — A Kansas proposal seen by the National Rifle Association as a model for stripping cities and counties of the power to regulate firearms and nullify existing local gun ordinances is on track to clear the state Legislature quickly after the Senate approved it Wednesday.
The measure would prevent cities and counties from regulating firearms sales or how guns are stored or transported by their owners. It would ensure that gun owners could openly carry their firearms across the state, though local officials still could prohibit open carrying in public buildings.
Senators approved the gunrights bill, 34-2, sending it to the House. Supporters were engineering a vote in the House by the end of the week, so that the measure could go to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.
The bill is being pushed by the Kansas State Rifle Association. Supporters say a patchwork of local regulations confuses gun owners and infringes upon gun-ownership rights guaranteed by the state and U.S. constitutions.
"We want consistency in the law," said Rep. Steve Brunk, a Wichita Republican and the chairman of a House committee that earlier approved a separate but identical bill awaiting action in the chamber.
California and Nebraska have narrow pre-emption laws that leave substantial power to local officials and five — Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York — don't expressly pre-empt local regulation.
Brownback said Wednesday only that he'd review the bill if it reaches his desk, but he acknowledged that he's been a strong gun-rights supporter. He's signed gun-rights bills in the past.
Both the National Rifle Association and the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence say 43 states, including Kansas, already significantly limit the ability of cities and counties to regulate firearms, though they vary widely in how far they go. The center says
Critics of the measure contend local officials know best what policies will work for their communities.
John Commerford, a National Rifle Association lobbyist, said the legislation being considered in Kansas could become "model pre-emption in firearms law."
Student falls to death after eating pot cookie
"We have not had that," she said.
Investigators believe Pongi and his friends came to Colorado to try marijuana, Weiss-Samaras said.
Opposition from some local officials — and the prospects of a lengthy debate on gun-rights and gun-control proposals — kept House leaders from scheduling a debate on the issue.
An autopsy report lists marijuana intoxication as a "significant contributing factor" in the death of 19-year-old Levi Thamba Pongi, a native of the Republic of Congo who fell from a motel balcony on March 11.
The friends told investigators that Pongi ate the cookie and "exhibited hostile behavior" that included pulling things off walls and speaking erratically, the autopsy report
It marked the first time the Denver medical examiner's office has listed a marijuana edible as a contributor to a death, said Michelle Weiss-Samaras, a spokeswoman for the office.
But both chambers passed separate versions of a technical bill regulating how law enforcement agencies return confiscated firearms to their owners if they've been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

DENVER — A Wyoming college student visiting Denver on spring break jumped to his death after eating a marijuana cookie that his friend legally purchased in one of Colorado's recreational pot shops, authorities said Wednesday.
The medical examiner's office had Pongi's body tested
Authorities said one of Pongi's friends was old enough to buy the cookie from a pot shop. It was unclear whether the friend might face charges.
Attempts by the three friends to calm Pongi seemed to work until he went outside and jumped over the balcony railing, according to the report.
said
Colorado law bans the sale of recreational marijuana products to people under 21. It is also illegal for those under 21 to possess marijuana, and adults can be charged with a felony for giving it to someone under the legal age.
NORTHWEST COLLEGE
Denver police ruled the death an accident but said their investigation remains open.
"All of us were deeply saddened by this tragic incident and feel for his family."
tor at least 250 different substances, including bath salts and synthetic marijuana, which are known to cause strange behavior. His blood tested positive only for THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, according to the report.
One of Pongi's friends also tried the cookie but stopped after feeling sick, Weiss-Samaras said.
The marijuana concentration in Pongi's blood was 7.2 nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood. Colorado law says juries can assume someone is driving while impaired by marijuana if their blood contains more than 5 nanograms per milliliter of the chemical.
Officials at Northwest College in Powell, Wyo., say Pongi started taking classes as an exchange student in January. He was studying engineering.
"The Northwest College campus community continues to grieve after Levy's death," the college said in a statement. "All of us were deeply saddened by this tragic incident and feel for his family."

Tax credit clouds Kansas Senate private school bill
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - Critics of a proposal to give a property tax credit to parents of students attending private schools in Kansas questioned Wednesday whether the provision would be legal and if it treats all taxpayers equal. Sen. Dennis Pyle, a Hiawatha Republican, said Wednesday that the idea was to help defray the costs to parents who choose to send their children to nonpublic schools. Parents would get a credit equal to the cost of tuition, fees or other expenses deducted from their school property taxes every year.
The proposal was added to the Senate's school funding bill, which would spend $129 million to satisfy a March 1 Kansas Supreme Court ruling. The order found the state's funding formula was unconstitutional as it relates to two funds aimed at equalizing spending for poor school districts.
"This is not a voucher," he said. "And we put a limit on it."
To qualify for the tax credit, parents would have to have
their children enrolled in qualifying private schools and submit their expenses to the county treasurer for verification. Parents could get up to $1,000 per student and $2,500 per household in tax credits that would be applied to what they owe every six months to fund local school districts. The credit could not be carried forward to apply against future tax liabilities.
who made the choice not to send their students to public schools. She said that leaves the rest of the public to carry the burden of paying for public education, a service typically as beneficial to the public good.
Critics point out that taxpayers also pay for other private services that are also offered by government, including trash collection and recreational facilities.
"We're trying to keep it as simple as possible," Pyle said. "Folks who are enrolling their kids in private schools and 100 percent of the cost will be able to have their taxes reduced. It's about fairness."
"I think this is just a bad precedent for us," said Sen. Laura Kelly, ranking Democrat from Topeka on the Senate budget committee.
About 30,000 Kansas students are enrolled in private schools, not counting those who are homeschooled.
The Nickerson Republican said there were a lot of questions about the legality of the proposal and whether the state or local schools would be on the hook to pay parents the refunds.
"Where does it stop?" she said.
Kelly said it's unfair to target a benefit for people
Where it ends may be the Senate floor when the bill is debated, said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce.
"I have a lot of questions, as do others, about the fiscal impact," Bruce said. "Our first priority is to get a workable product in negotiations with the House. I don't know that this is part of it or not."
Pyle said he relied on a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an Arizona tax case that suggested that such refunds were legal because the money was going back to the parents and not being spent by the government on religious schools.

Pitching and defense wins games
COMMENTARY
It's not a program with incredible prestige or history. It's not located near an area with rich baseball talent. It's not a warm-weather school for baseball purposes, either.
By Mike Vernon sports@kansan.com
So when manager Ritch Price took over the Jayhawks in 2003, he had to figure out where Kansas could make up for the top-tier talent it naturally lacks. Kansas had five consecutive losing seasons before Price arrived in Lawrence.
"If you're going to take over a program that's really struggling." Price said. "You're short on the mound, you're short in the bullpen and you're short defensively."
For Kansas, it would have to be about pitching and defense. The 19-10 Jayhawks this season are showing why. The Tuesday 4-2 win against Wichita State was a microcosm of Price's recruiting strategy.
Junior Drew Morovick started for Kansas against Wichita State Tuesday. He pitched six innings and gave up two runs.
STARTING PITCHING: CHECK.
The big question for Price came in the seventin inning. Jordan Piché entered the season as a First Team All-Big 12 closer. After blowing five saves in 15 appearances, Price changed his role. He's now a set-up guy out of the bullpen, coming in to move the Jayhawks passed the seventin inning.
Other programs might have the luxury of patience with their closer. Not Kansas. Not when its record is strong, and Big 12 record is at .500. They can't afford to flutter.
With the pressure off, Piché decimated the Shockers in the seventh. Dakota Smith got in a jam pitching in the eighth inning with runners on the corners and no outs. Wichita State smacked a line drive down the first base line, and Ryan Pidhaichuk — who came in that inning as a defensive replacement at first base — made a diving catch before diving again to touch first base to convert the unassisted double play.
DEFENSE: CHECK
And Kansas' new closer,
the lanky freshman, Stephen
Villines finished the Shockers
off with ease.
BULLPEN: CHECK.
The Jayhawks have a 3.13 ERA this season.
Price doesn't have to worry about hitting. His strategy works around it. With athletic players recruited from the west coast, Price lives by small ball. The Jayhawks bunt, run and string hits together to knock in a few runs. If the defense and pitching holds up, it's a win for Kansas. They aren't built to outshug you. They typically can't.
Things could go sour. Kansas could once again finish as a middling team that's not a threat in Big 12 play.
There's a chance this season's Jayhawks will be the best you'll see in your four years at Kansas. They've already defeated Texas in a series and have a big impending three-game series against Kansas State.
But if they continue to play by Price's plan, with defense and pitching, those inherent disadvantages carve Kansas into a team built to win.

Rivalry week continues for Jayhawks
sports@kansan.com
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
The Jayhawks continue on in what is known as rivalry week. Following their 4-2 home victory against the Shockers of Wichita State on Tuesday, the Jayhawks (19-10) head to Manhattan Friday to take on defending conference champions Kansas State Wildcats (17-11).
"We have to do a better job getting ready for K-State, I have to get us ready to play them," said coach Ritch Price.
After seeing two of the best arms in the conference, the Jayhawks will now face the better batters in the Big 12. As a team the Wildcats are hitting .306 and remain perfect at home at with a 10-0 record.
"Last year they won the Big 12, so you can't take them
lightly," said senior pitcher Frank Duncan. "This is my fourth year here so I have seen a lot of those guys, it's a matter of executing."
Leading the Wildcats is senior second baseman Ross Kivett, who led the conference in hits last year (94) which marked as the third most in program history. Kivett is hitting .355 with 22 runs batted in and a pair of home runs in his senior campaign.
"Kivett is a good player, we know he is a good player, but we are going to be ready for him," said Duncan, who has a 2-1 record with an ERA of 1.69 and a team-high 46 strikeouts.
It remains to be seen if Kansas' ace Wes Benjamin will get the start. He has a perfect record in his seven starts with four wins, but is dealing with
a lingering pain in his forearm which started at Texas. He was taken out during the third inning against Oklahoma after calling Price to the mound to alert him of the pain.
"We haven't had a lot of success against K-State since I've been here, but we are absolutely ready to go into Manhattan."
KA'IANA ELDREDGE Kansas catcher
we will know more after he meets with our school medical people", Price said.
On the mound for the Wildcats this weekend will be two right-handed and one left-handed pitchers. Friday night's starter is sophomore
Levi MaVoris. He leads the team in strikeouts with 31 and has a 3-3 record.
Senior Jared Moore, the Wildcats' lone lefty, takes the mound on Saturday. Moore leads the team in wins with five for a 5-1 record and a 4.15 ERA. Freshman Nate Griep takes the hill on Sunday. He has a team-best ERA in terms of starters with a 1.67 ERA and a perfect record of 3-0.
If Benjamin is a go, he will be joined by his usual weekend Jayhawk crew of Robert Kahana and Duncan. Saturday's starter Kahana has a 1-3 record with a 3.46 ERA and 20 strikeouts.
After blowing his fifth save in his senior campaign, Jordan Piché had his role changed against the Shockers. Rather than appearing in the ninth, Piché pitched in the seventh
and retired the side.
"It was nice seeing Piché in rhythm, that was the Piché we saw last year." Price said.
Despite the showing, Price is still content with putting freshman Stephen Villines in the closing role.
Villines recorded his second collegiate save in Tuesday's 4-2 win. Villins has a baffling 0.40 ERA and a 1-0 record in a dozen games. He has struck out 14, allowing a mere two runs for an impressive start in his career as a Jayhawk.
"We haven't had a lot of success against K-State since I've been here, but we are absolutely ready to go into Manhattan," said senior catcher Kai'iana Eldredge.
First pitch of the game against the Wildcats will be Friday at 6:30 p.m.

The last time junior Lindsay Vollmer was named Big 12 Female Athlete of the Week, earlier this January, her next meet was bittersweet. in the lead going into the final leg of the pentathlon, Vollmer was forced to forgo the last event due to an injury she suffered in the prior event. Although Vollmer's point total was still good enough to earn her the pentathlon victory that weekend, her injury, while not serious, would end up slowing the early season momentum she was gaining.

While Vollmer is certainly an athlete to watch out for in Baton Rouge, coming off a victory in the heptathlon last weekend at the Texas Relays, she is not the only Jayhawk athlete to keep an eye on.

Bold predictions for the 2014-15 MLB season
As you may well know from experience, a Major League Baseball season is a lot of things. It is exciting, frustrating, tiring, and humbling. One thing it is not, however, is simple. So much of the game of baseball is subject to chance. Line smashes are sometimes caught, bloopers sometimes have "eyes" and fall in between three converging fielders — it's called the game of inches for a reason.
Predicting baseball is like flipping a weighted coin in the air 162 times and calling it in the air correctly each time. It just will not happen that way. Not to mention, this theoretical coin is only weighted 60-40, or at most 70-30. One team is usually only marginally better than the other, and the difference doesn't become noticeable until the law of large numbers comes into play, and the results grade out closer to the expected value as they regress to the mean. I'm in no way claiming to be able to predict 162 of these coin flips, much less one coin flip.
2014 MLB PREDICTIONS —
PLAYOFF TEAMS DENOTED WITH *
1. LOS ANGELES DODGERS*
By Daniel Harmsen sports@kansan.com
They hit better than you, pitch better than you, and look good doing it. Chance for 100 wins this season.
2.OAKLAND A'S*
High on-base percentage and slugging percentage win games. The A's do both well.
3. ST. LOUIS CARDINALS*
One of the most enviable baseball franchises. New faces, same expectations.
4. BOSTON RED SOX*
This team will be good for a long time to come. Xander Bogaerts should be fun to watch develop.
5. TAMPA BAY RAYS*
They don't allow runs, and Wil Myers likes to score them. Watch out.
6. WASHINGTON NATIONALS*
This team is young and stacked from top to bottom. Hopefully not too
young.
7. DETROIT TIGERS*
The Tigers are one Miguel Cabrera better than the Royals. Which is kind of a big deal.
8. SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS*
They are spending a lot of money to catch the Dodgers. They may fall short of that goal, but a playoff appearance looks to be in store.
With the best defense and bullpen in baseball and a respectable starting staff, the offense can be the difference between another average season, and KC's first playoff berth since 1985.
9. KANSAS CITY ROYALS*
The heart of this line-up is terrifying, and the starting rotation is star-stocked.
10. TEXAS RANGERS

Freddie Freeman and newly acquired Ervin Santana will be leading the

19. LOS ANGELES ANGELS
Manager Terry Francona got the most out of his team last year,but the Indians will fall back down to reality in 2014.
It will be tough to expect Chris Davis to replicate 2013, but Nelson Cruz will give the Orioles some much needed protection.
17. SEATTLE MARINERS

The White Sox fail to reach base on a consistent basis. That's kind of important in baseball.
27. HOUSTON ASTROS
Jose Altuve, Chris Carter and newcomer Dexter Fowler should lead the Astros to an improved 2014 season.
28. FLORIDA MARLINS
Jose Fernandez has one of the "livest" arms in the game, but the Marlins got older over the offseason with their acquisitions. It's a one-man band.
29. MINNESOTA TWINS
30. CHICAGO CUBS
Joe Mauer is the only reason to pay attention to the Twins this year.
The highlight of the offseason was adding Kansas City backup 2B Emilio Bonifacio. If you live in Chicago, root for the Sox, although they won't be much better.

Terrence Ross scored 14 points and John Salmons had 12 as the short-handed Raptors won for the fourth time in five games.
TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan scored 29 points, Jonas Valanciunas and Greivis Vasquez each had 15 and the Toronto Raptors won their seventh straight home meeting with Houston, beating the Rockets 107-103 on Wednesday night.
James Harden scored 26 points and Chandler Parsons had 20 for the Rockets, who lost their third straight after winning the previous five.
The Rockets hurt themselves by missing eight of 30 free throw attempts, including five misses in the fourth quarter.
Jeremy Lin scored 16 points and Donatas Motiejunas had 13 for the Rockets, who could have clinched a playoff spot with a win and a loss by either Memphis or Phoenix.
+
The Raptors replied with six of the next seven points, including back-to-back baskets by Patrick Patterson and Ross, to lead 98-92 at 5:20, causing Houston to call timeout.
Toronto led by 10 to start the fourth, but Houston closed the gap with an 11-2 spurt to begin the quarter, making it 92-91 after Harden made one of two at the line at 7:44.
Ross gave Toronto a sixpoint edge with a 3 at 4:06 and, just over two minutes later, DeRozan stole a pass from Parsons and fed Valanciunas for a layup, putting the Raptors up 105-97.
Lin made a 3 with 8 seconds left, cutting it to 106-100, and Toronto almost turned over the inbounds pass before
Vasquez recovered the ball. Vasquez was fouled and made one of two before Isaiah Canaan missed a last-second 3 for the Rockets.
DeRozan played the final three minutes with a bandage on his left hand after he suffered a cut while fouling Omer Asik.
Toronto was without point guard Kyle Lowry, who was
sidelined with a sore left knee. Lowry, who's averaging 17.4 points and 7.6 assists, injured his knee in a collision with LeBron James in the second quarter of Monday's loss at Miami. Lowry started the second half in the game but was unable to finish the game.
Raptors coach Dwane Casey said Lowry's knee was still swollen, but that tests had
shown no structural damage.
Vasquez started in place of Lowry.
Toronto took another hit when forward Amir Johnson left with a sore right ankle less than three minutes into the opening quarter. Johnson did not return.
Houston's Dwight Howard sat for the sixth time in eight games with a sore left
ankle. Howard had a second injection on his troublesome ankle Tuesday.
Terrence Jones started for Houston after missing Tuesday's loss at Brooklyn with flu-like symptoms, but missed all four shots he took in 10 first half minutes and did not return after the break.
The Rockets were also without guard and regular
starter Patrick Beverley (right knee) for the third straight game.
Toronto led 82-62 with 3:46 left in the third but Lin scored eight points as the Rockets made seven of their next nine shots, cutting it to 90-80 heading to the fourth.

Jayhawks roll into Dallas for weekend tournament
DANIEL HARMSEN sports@kansan.com
The Kansas women's golf team will travel to Dallas this weekend for the DAC/SMU Invitational at the Dallas Athletic Club.
The Jayhawks hit the links fresh off their seventh-place finish at the Briar's Creek Invitational in John Island, S.C. Senior Thanutra "Fhong" Boonrakasat finds herself in a groove at a critical point in the season.
According to a press
release from KU Athletics, Boonrakasat is closing in on some Kansas historical records. Fhong sits third in Kansas career top-10 finishes with 12 and is on pace to set the all-time season-low scoring average for a Jayhawk with a current average of 75.13 strokes per round. Fhong will look to break sophomore Yupaporn "Mook" Kawinpakorn's record of 75.4 strokes per round in 2012-2013.
Mook will also be working to trim strokes off her score sheet. A little friendly competition
never hurt anybody. If anything, it should help Kansas push itself to new heights.
Kansas will be competing against Big 12 foes Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech, and against non-conference opponents Iowa, LSU, Nebraska and North Carolina. The DAC/SMU Invitational takes place on a 6,264-yard, par 72 course. The Jayhawks will tee off hole 1 at 8 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Senior outfielder Alex Jones lets out a celebratory scream as she crosses second base. Her hit brought in two Kansas runners, bringing the score to 4-0.
Kansas heads to Oklahoma for series
this weekend the Kansas Jayhawks (27-10) head to Norman, Okla., to face the Oklahoma Sooners (24-8).
Oklahoma and Kansas are tied for the lead with Texas in conference play. Oklahoma ran around the Iowa State Cyclones in their opening series last weekend, scoring 35 runs to their two.
The last time Kansas and Oklahoma played, they split the series 1-1. Oklahoma won the first game of the series last season 4-2, while Kansas blanked the Sooners a day later 2-0.
Later last season, Oklahoma went on to win the College World Series of Softball, and this season the Sooners still pose a huge threat, as they are ranked 23 in the nation.
First pitch is scheduled in Norman for Friday at 6 p.m.

BALTIMORE  Mike Napoli homered and drove in four runs, John Lackey allowed three hits in six innings and the Boston Red Sox spoiled the Baltimore debut of Ubaldo Jimenez by beating the Orioles 6-2 Wednesday night.
David Ortiz hit a two-run homer and Dustin Pedroia had four hits for the defending World Series champion Red Sox, now 1-1 after losing to Baltimore on opening day.
Nelson Cruz homered for the second time in two games for the Orioles, who mustered only six hits off Lackey and three relievers.
Ortiz connected in the third inning and Napoli made it 4-2
with a two-run shot in the fifth. Both homers came off Jimenez (0-1), who signed a four-year contract with the Orioles in February after winning 13 games with Cleveland last year.
Jimenez allowed four runs, five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out six.
Lackey (1-0) gave up two runs, walked one and struck out six. The right-hander is 14-5 with a 3.34 ERA in 24 career starts against Baltimore.
Ortiz put the Red Sox up 2-0 in the third inning with a drive to right following a single by Pedroia. Ortiz was 0 for 7 lifetime against Jimenez before connecting.
Lackey gave up a leadoff single to Nick Markakis, then
retired 11 straight before Chris Davis walked with two outs in the fourth. Cruz followed with an opposite-field drive to right on an 0-2 pitch.
Signed as a free agent in February, Cruz has accounted for all of Baltimore's four runs this season — three RBIs and a run scored.
Boston pulled away in the seventh against Ryan Webb. After two singles and an intentional walk to Ortiz loaded the bases, Napoli lined a two-run single to left. Napoli had a major league-leading 31 RBIs last year with the bases loaded.
In the fifth, Jimenez hit Daniel Nava with a pitch and Napoli homered on an 0-2 count.

Kinsler's hit lifts Tigers over Royals 2-1 in 10
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT  — Ian Kinsler homered and drove in the winning run with a single in the 10th inning to lift the Detroit Tigers over the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Wednesday.
Max Scherzer pitched eight scoreless innings for the Tigers, but Joe Nathan blew his first save chance since signing with Detroit in the offseason.
Acquired from Texas for Prince Fielder in a November blockbuster trade, Kinsler homered in the fourth and won the game with a line drive to left-center field off Tim Collins (0-1).
Detroit benefited from two replay overturns at first base. The second enabled Al Alburquerque (1-0) to get out of the top of the 10th.
The Tigers also beat Kansas City in their last at-bat in Monday's opener, winning 4-3 on Alex Gonzalez's RBI single in the ninth.
Scherzer allowed four hits and a walk with eight strikeouts, but Nathan blew a save at Comerica Park for the
Alex Gordon's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the ninth tied it, and Nathan then balked the runners ahead when he pulled up in the middle of his motion. Manager Brad Ausmus and trainer Kevin Rand came scurrying out to the mound to see if something was wrong, but Nathan kept pitching.
In the 10th, Kansas City's Norichika Aoki was called safe at first, and it looked like the Royals would have first and third with two outs and the game tied. But upon further review, the throw barely beat Aoki. He was called out to end the threat.
There was another replay overturn in the sixth when Detroit's Tyler Collins was initially called out at first, giving Kansas City a 4-6-3 double play. The play was reviewed and Collins was ruled safe, although Detroit didn't score that inning.

Scherzer can become a free agent after this season, and if he keeps pitching like this he'll be in line for quite a payday. With men on first and third and one out in the first, Billy Butler grounded into a double play on a 3-0 pitch.
That turned out to be the best chance Kansas City would have against Scherzer. He wasn't in trouble again until the eighth, when Salvador Perez doubled leading off.
Scherzer rebounded to strike out Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain. Ausmus then visited the mound, but he left Scherzer in. Alcides Escobar followed with a flyout on Scherzer's 110th and final pitch.
Jason Vargas, who signed a $32 million, four-year contract in the offseason, was sharp in his first start for Kansas City. He allowed a run and five hits in seven innings, walking one and striking out six.

Basketball coach pleads guilty in car theft ring
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST.LOUIS — The women's basketball coach at Highland Community College in northeast Kansas, who once coached at Southeast Missouri State University, pleaded guilty to being part of a car theft ring that prosecutors said staged accidents and filed false theft reports to pocket insurance money.
William J. Smith, of Highland, Kan., pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court in St. Louis to one count of conspiracy and five counts of mail fraud. He was one of 21 people charged in a scheme to steal luxury motor vehicles from individuals and dealerships in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.
The counts he pleaded to Tuesday involved obtaining fraudulent transfer titles from the Osage Nation for five vehicles in 2011 and 2012, which allowed the vehicles to be resold. Counts of mail fraud and receiving stolen vehicles were dropped. The St. Joseph News-Press reported.
Prosecutors said the ring

also obtained some vehicles when purchasers made false statements on loan applications and submitted fraudulent earnings statements to receive vehicle loans. The defendants used and then sold or disposed of the vehicles while the loan defaulted.
Highland president Dave Reist said Wednesday the school's attorney will consult with the Board of Trustees to decide on Smith's future. He said he hoped the decision will be made sometime early next week.
He coached at Southeast Missouri State four seasons and led the Lady Redhawks to their first NCAA tournament. Smith resigned in 2006 after he was placed on paid administrative leave for personal reasons. There was also an NCAA investigation into the women's basketball program.
"I apologize for the negative publicity this has brought, I am embarrassed that I let this happen."
WILLIAM J. SMITH Women's basketball coach
Smith, who will be sentenced July 1, apologized in a statement.
"Unfortunately, I allowed myself to be in business peripherally with a person who was involved in a car theft ring," the statement said. "I have cooperated with the government in this process to bring these people to justice, however, due to my transactions with this person
I feel this is the best way for me to put this situation behind me and move forward with my career. I apologize for the negative publicity this has brought, I am embarrassed that I let this happen."
Smith has coached Highland for three years and his team finished second this year in the National Junior College Athletic Association's Division II championship game, ending a 33-3 season. His overall record at HCC is 85-13.

College athletes take labor case to Capitol Hill
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON Northwestern University athletes trying to unionize presented their case to lawmakers Wednesday after a federal agency said they have the same rights to bargain collectively as other workers.
"Health and safety of athletes is the concern, especially to reduce the risk of brain trauma," said Ramogi Huma, president of the National Colleges Players Association, an advocacy group.
Added former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, cofounder of the association: "We're up here raising awareness."
Even though the issue is not directly before lawmakers, "Congress is an important part of the chess board," Colter said after meeting with Sen. Sherrod B., D-Ohio.
Brown said "the right to fair treatment is why all workers, no matter the job or venue, should have the opportunity to unionize."
"College athletes dedicate the same hours to their support as full-time employees and deserve the same protections as any other worker," Brown said in a statement.
Colter, Huma and Tim Waters, national policy director of the United Steelworkers union, were trying to drum
up support during their time on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Steelworkers are underwriting and financing the effort.
"We're up here to let the leadership know what's going on, basically getting information out," Huma said.
The visits came a week after the Chicago-region director of the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Northwestern's football players on scholarships are employees of the university under the National Labor Relations Act and therefore have the right to vote to unionize.
"And they're seeking the right to form a union for the purposes of putting some balance back in that relationship."
REP. GEORGE MILLER
California Democrat
Northwestern, based in Evanston, Ill., has said it will appeal the ruling. It has until April 9 to do so. The full NLRB has yet to weigh in on the finding.
Stacey Osburn, director of public and media relations for the NCAA, said in a statement that Huma's
concern was "unwarranted." A Northwestern official has said that the students were not employees and that unionization and collective bargaining were not the appropriate methods to address their concerns.
"The law is fairly clear and consistent with Northwestern's position, so the NCAA has made no contacts with anyone in Congress attempting to ban the unionization of student-athletes." Osburn said.
Colter, however, called the decision a "strong ruling" and predicted it "will be hard to overturn."
The NLRB does not have jurisdiction over public universities, so the push to unionize athletes has been primarily targeted toward private schools such as Northwestern.
Rep. George Miller of California, the top Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee, said after a meeting with the Northwestern group that "what they've drawn up here is a list of concerns that they have as athletes in Division I schools where there is clearly an imbalance in the relationship. And they're seeking the right to form a union for the purposes of putting some balance back in that relationship."

Pennsylvania court won't hear Sandusky appeal
CRIME
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. The state's highest court on Wednesday said it would not review Jerry Sandusky's child molestation conviction, but other legal avenues remain open to the former Penn State assistant football coach.
Sandusky had asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to take up his 45-count conviction, arguing his lawyers were rushed too quickly to trial in 2012 and that prosecutors improperly made reference to his decision not to testify.
He also said the trial judge should have issued a jury instruction about how long it took his victims to report the abuse and that jurors should not have been told to weigh evidence of his good character against all other evidence.
Sandusky's defense attorney Norris Gelman said he was disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision, which was
issued in the form of a one sentence order.
Sandusky has the right to file a new appeal.
"I'm sure he will," Gelman said.
Attorney General Kathleen Kane, whose office prosecuted Sandusky, issued a statement saying she was pleased with the decision.
"Protecting Pennsylvania's children is one of my top priorities and I remain committed to seeking justice for all victims of sexual abuse," Kane said.
The prosecutor's office had said that Sandusky did not provide sufficient basis for the Supreme Court to take up the matter and that decisions made by the trial judge did not violate his rights.
Michael Boni, a lawyer who represents Aaron Fisher and other Sandusky victims, said the Supreme Court made the right call.
"Hopefully this will, once
and for all, put to bed any lingering hopes that Jerry will have his sentence reversed, his convictions reversed." Boni said. "It's a happy day for the victims."
Sandusky, 70, is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence for
"...I remain committed to seeking justice for all victims of sexual abuse."

sexual abuse of 10 boys.
Gelman said Sandusky can file a new appeal under the state's Post Conviction Relief Act. That appeal, he said, could address any newly discovered evidence as well as any claims that Sandusky's lawyers were not effective.
Sandusky also could eventually take his case to federal court.
Eight of his victims testified at trial, describing a range of abuse from grooming and fondling to oral and anal sex, including attacks in the basement of Sandusky's home outside State College. Another witness, a graduate assistant for the team who had been a quarterback for the Nittany Lions, testified he saw Sandusky having sexual contact with a boy inside a team shower late on a Friday night.
Sandusky did not testify on his own behalf but has maintained his innocence. His lawyer has said the victims' testimony was motivated by a desire to cash in. Penn State announced last year it was paying $59.7 million to 26 people who had raised claims of abuse at Sandusky's hands.
His defense lawyers repeatedly sought delays
During a post-sentencing hearing, however, defense attorney Joe Amendola acknowledged that he had not discovered anything afterward that would have changed his trial strategy.
before trial, saying they were swamped by an enormous amount of material from prosecutors and needed more time to examine the background of his accusers.
Sandusky's 2011 arrest led to the firing of Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno and significant penalties levied against the school by the NCAA. Paterno was stripped of 111 of his 409 career wins while the school was fines $60 million, banned from bowl games for four years and faced steep scholarship cuts.
Three other high-ranking school officials, including the then-president, face charges they covered up complaints about Sandusky. Their case has not yet gone to trial.

White Sox top Twins 7-6 on balk,2 wild pitches
ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Down 0-2 in the count in the 11th inning. infielder Leury Garcia did something surprising: He counted for a base hit.
What happened next was even more unexpected.
Chicago White Sox's Leury Garcia (28) celebrates with teammates after scoring to defeaft the Minnesota Twins in the eleventh inning on Wednesday in Chicago. The White Sox won 7-6.
Garcia scored on a balk and a pair of wild pitches by Samuel Deduno, giving Chicago White Sox a 7-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.
Before a crowd of just 10,625, Chicago came back from a 6-4 deficit in the ninth on Garcia's run-scoring single off Glen Perkins and Adam Eaton's RBI grounder.

Garcia said he made the call on his own to try and bunt even though the count was against him.
"You have to work on it," Garcia said. "I've been working and that was the perfect time to do it, and I do it. It was perfect."
The speedy Garcia bunted up the third-base line, leading off the 11th and took second when, with Eaton at the plate, Deduno (0-1) never came to a set position and balked.
Eaton struck out, Deduno bounced an outside pitch that hit off Suzuki's glove as Garcia advanced, and Marcus Semien took a called third strike.
After an intentional walk to Jose Abreu, Deduno threw away outside on a 3-2 to pitch to Adam Dunn, and the ball hit off Suzuki's glove as Garcia came home.
for the win.
Ronald Belisario (1-0)
pitched 1 1-3 hitless innings
"You get momentum from that," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "There are ways to hit a home run and win a game, and there's another way to manufacture it and come back. By coming back and then you win later, I don't know how many times we did that last year, not many. You end up doing something that feels new and feels fresh for these guys."
Dunn's solo homer in the eighth off Jared Burton pulled the White Sox to 6-5, but Kurt Suzuki hit a run-scoring double in the ninth against Daniel Wenn for a two-run cushion.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said the long delay forced him to pull starting pitcher Kevin Correia earlier than he wanted.
The game was delayed during the top of the seventh after Eaton appeared to catch Oswaldo Arcia's fly ball to center and then dropped it when he went to grab the ball from his glove. The play was ruled a catch, but the Twins challenged the call and it was overturned by a replay umpire in New York.
"The length of it couldn't be helped from what I heard but it took too long for everybody involved," Gardenhire said.
White Sox left-hander Felipe Paulino, back from elbow and shoulder surgery, made his first start since June 6, 2012, against Minnesota as a member of the Kansas City Royals. He allowed two runs
hits in 5 1-3 innings with six strikeouts and two walks. Paulino labored at times and threw 109 pitches.
— one earned — and seven
Twins starter Kevin Correia gave up three runs — two earned — and five hits in six
innings with five strikeouts and a walked.
"It wasn't really a situation where I couldn't go back out there," Correia said. "It was 35 degrees, and I don't know how long that inning was
taking already. But it pretty much came down to that review. Without that review, I definitely think I'm going back out there."

Miami Heat stays atop East, beat Milwaukee Bucks 96-77

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — LeBron James is dealing with a few aches and pains, which obviously is not the best news for the Miami Heat with two weeks left in the regular season.
Come game time, though,
nothing seems to be ailing him.
Bringing the crowd out of its seats with a pair of highlightreel dunks in the first half, then drilling a deep 3-pointer to end the third quarter, James was his typical effective self on Wednesday night. He led Miami with 17 points, and the Heat stayed atop the Eastern Conference with a wire-to-wire 96-77 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
"If I feel like I can give something, I've got to be out there for my teammates," James said. "It's my obligation to be out there for them. I'm dealing with a few things, but for me to sit out, I have to be
dealing with a lot more."
Chris Bosh scored 15 and Mario Chalmers scored 14 for the Heat.
Ramon Sessions scored 19 points for Milwaukee, which got 14 from Jeff Adrien. 11 from Brandon Knight and 10 from John Henson. Zaza Pachulia grabbed 16 rebounds in 26 minutes for the NBAworst Bucks, who have now had 11 games this season in which they never led.
As of now, James doesn't plan on sitting out any of Miami's final eight games, and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he probably wouldn't even think about any strategy to get him some rest for at least another week — a stance that can't come as a surprise, considering the East No. 1
The Bucks fell to 14-61 with seven games remaining and are now only one loss away from tying the franchise record for most defeats in a season.
seed is hardly secure. With the win, Miami (52-22, .703) remained percentage points ahead of Indiana (53-23, .697) in the East race.
The Pacers defeated Detroit 101-94 earlier Wednesday.
"I'm dealing with a few things, but for me to sit out, I have to be dealing with a lot more."
LEBRON JAMES Miami Heat
"It's tempting to start to look ahead. We're only two weeks away," Spoelstra said. "But there's so much basketball left in these two weeks. And it is very compelling at this time of year, and we are trying to accomplish some things. So as guys start to get back into the lineup we want to take a step forward as a group. And there's a process to that."
At some point, that process will presumably include getting Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen and Greg Oden back into the lineup. Wade missed his 23rd game of the season, his fourth straight with a hamstring problem. The Heat are 11-1 in the last 12 games that Wade has missed.
Allen has been sidelined by a flu bug that struck his entire family, though he's nearing a return. Oden has been sidelined by back spasms, with Spoelstra saying he's also close to getting back.
Milwaukee opened the fourth quarter with six straight points, cutting Miami's lead to 14 and getting the Heat to call time-out.
Whatever doubt existed at that point, if any, didn't last long.
Norris Cole snapped Miami's scoreless drought with a beathe-shot-clock 3-pointer as he was leaning to his right with 8:35 left.

Presidential candidates offer thoughts after debate
A
Presidential candidates Kevin Hundelt of Crimson & True, Morgan Said of Grow KU and MacKenzie Oatman of Jayhawkers sat down for their Student Senate elections debate Thursday night.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Mitchell Cota, Jayhawkers vice presidential nominee, spoke at the debate Thursday night. Vice presidential candidates addressed platform-specific questions prepared by student journalists.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
AMELIA ARVESEN news@kansan.com
For most of the student presidential and vice presidential candidates running in this year's election, Thursday night marked their first debate experience. Each of the presidential candidates admitted to being nervous, but remained composed and articulated their goals.
Even after the cameras stopped rolling and audience members began to leave, the questions weren't over. The Kansan caught up with presidential candidates Kevin Hundelt of Crimson & True, Morgan Said of Grow KU and MacKenzie Oatman of Jayhawkers to talk more about the debate.
Do you think you were able to genuinely represent yourself as a candidate and as a student?
KH: I hope so, but I'm not perfect. There are some times at the beginning when I thought, "Dang, I should've said that when I was speaking." I hate that, but I think for
the most part I talked up my strengths, but also made the audience aware of my weaknesses, and that's what being a leader is — to be that front man to lead and motivate.
MS: Honesty is the best policy. I'm not trying to be a politician. I'm just trying to do the right thing and my team is too, which is why we work so well together because it isn't political for us. It's very black and white.It's very, "this is wrong and we can make it right." We feel that it's our job as students and stewards of the University to move forward with these ideas and make sure the student body gets to benefit.
MO: I think we focused on issues more than personal qualifications. I don't feel like this necessarily showed me as a student very well. I feel like this was more targeted toward initiatives and feasibility questions, but that's the most confusing thing. We can put an infographic up on Facebook that has a title, but nobody probably reads what's under it and that's a two sentence description anyway. It was a really good opportunity to clear up some of those misconceptions.
is there something you wish you had said differently?
AN: This isn't an individual effort, this is a group effort. I am one person. I've got, like, eight people behind me that are doing more work than I am, and they're doing awesome. I think I should've recognized them for that.
MS: Lots of "ums." That's what I always notice. I would've liked to discuss more about our individual platforms from all sides — even the other coalitions. I haven't gotten to hear their full pitches either, so it would've been interesting and exciting to hear what they're working on from their end and see how they all stack up.
MO: I think it's better to have a positive campaign and never go negative, but I would definitely say that we've drawn out a timeline over our one year to make sure that we can have
all this happen, even though obviously, we can't anticipate road bumps.
What was the most memorable part of Thursday night?
KH: It all happened so fast, I felt like I just walked in. I really liked listening to people's stories and everyone's individual backgrounds. It really stands out to me and shows the passion that everyone has. I want everyone to win, but this is a
competition.
MS: When you're sitting at the podium speaking to a room of 100 people and you lock eyes with familiar faces and people on your team and they're nodding at you because they're excited about what you're saying, it's so rewarding. It makes you feel like you're doing something right and it brings this team feeling and family feeling. That's what I'll take away — remembering
that these aren't my ideas, but I get to represent these ideas on behalf of my entire team.
MO: Being someone who sat in this room their freshman year, I remember looking at the student body president then, and it just really came full circle more so in this moment than any other time during this whole process.

Student excited about future after mental illness recovery
EMILY DONOVAN news@kansan.com
Kate Cowger wants to brag about how productive and capable she feels.
I can't just go up to people and say, 'I got out of bed today. Isn't that so cool? Did you know I'm in school? That's awesome,' she said.
Cowger has struggled with mental illness since she was 8 years old. Now a sophomore from Topeka, she gets good grades and is involved in student organizations like KU Active Minds and the Commission on the Status of Women.
"I'm really excited about the direction my life is going, and I'm so proud of myself for being excited," she said.
more responsibilities she had, Cowger felt more overwhelmed. She didn't have close relationships. Without noticing, she would go weeks without talking to friends like Rachel Hagan, which would confuse and upset them, causing her to withdraw further.
She started displaying symptoms of depression at the age of 8. She felt unmotivated and isolated. It was hard for her to connect with people.
"I was jealous of people who could get excited," she said.
The older she got and the
Anorexia was about control. It was something she could empirically measure — something she felt she was good at.
Cowger wanted something that she could be good at.
"I felt motivated to do it.
"I felt so detached and unmotivated that I wanted to just cut off completely and disappear."
KATE COWGER
Topeka sophomore
She used to not be able to get excited about anything.
"There were a lot of times when our relationship was uneven when she was ill and we both resented it — probably her more than me," Hagan said.
Cowger was doing poorly in school. Watching her friends' enthusiasm about future plans, like becoming a marine biologist, she felt like she was ruining her life.
which was so different," Cowger said.
At the age of 14, she decided to lose weight. Anorexia wasn't about losing weight to look attractive and get attention. She wanted to disappear by making herself as small as possible.
"I just felt so bad," she said. "I felt so detached and unmotivated that I wanted to just cut off completely and disappear."
Cowger liked to test how long she could go without eating. If she planned out not eating until Saturday and messed up, she would punish herself by nothing but three Ritz crackers and a glass of water a day for a week.
When Cowger would try to get out of bed in the morning, she would lose vision for 30 seconds and her ears would ring. She'd have to sit still before she could stand up. She felt a sense of accomplishment from being shaky and light-headed throughout the day.
"I interpreted it as meaning I was doing it right," she said. She liked feeling empty. It made her feel clean.
Cowger went to a small high school with only 28 people in her class. Cowger said she was underweight and very sick. Everybody knew.
"It was very obvious that I was not doing well," she said.

E-cigarettes banned from campus buildings

PETER B. HANSON
Students and faculty at the University of Kansas can now receive a fine between $100 and $500 for using electronic cigarettes within 20 feet of any building on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
The "no smoking" policy has been at the University since July of 1993. In February, the University updated the policy to include e-cigarettes. However, students may be unaware of this.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"Additional research has begun to demonstrate the health issues associated with electronic cigarettes," said Ola Faucher, University human resources director, in an email. "KU consulted with physicians at KU Medical Center to learn more about those concerns. Based on that feedback, it was determined that it would be advisable to prohibit the use of electronic cigarettes by revising our smoking policy."
Dr. Frank LoVecchio, co-medical director of the Banner Good Samaritan Poison and Drug Information Center, displays an electronic cigarette.
The policy reads, "No smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, or tobacco use is permitted within twenty feet of any part of any campus building, including overhangs, or within twenty feet of air intakes."
Exclusions to the policy include Student Housing (residential halls, scholarship halls and apartments) where
students are allowed to use e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff.

who smokes e-cigarettes. He says e-cigarettes are a better, healthier alternative to ciga-

Open carry law passes legislature
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
Kansas Legislators passed a bill on Saturday, April 6, that would further promote the open carrying of firearms in Kansas.
Sen. Pat Pettey, a Democrat from Kansas City, Kan., who opposes the legislation, said that although the bill provides freedom to citizens' second amendment, it may infringe upon other peoples' capacity to feel safe in a work environment or public space. She has been an advocate of putting community centers, mental health centers and libraries under the same exemption that K-12 schools are currently under.
HB 2578 would allow the open carrying of firearms across the state of Kansas if it is approved by Gov. Sam Brownback. The bill also takes away local officials' abilities to regulate the possession of firearms within their respective jurisdiction. Buildings and municipalities may post signage stating that they do not allow the open carrying of firearms on the entrances to their buildings, and may also enforce security measures such as metal detectors in the entrances to their buildings to prohibit the carrying of firearms.
"The cost for a metal detector is $35,000, and the average cost for a guard is $25,000 a year," Pettey said. "So that is a total of $60,000 to implement." She also pointed out that the cost for a security employee is a continual cost.
Petey is also concerned that the cost of implementing security measures in buildings across the state of Kansas takes away from other areas where the money could be better put to use.

Sen. Pat Pettey, D-Kansas City, voted against the bill because she said the bill takes away from local officials to set their own restrictions.
Kansas Legislators passed legislation in the House on Sat., April 5, that would allow open carry across the entire state.
Shawn Kaylor, owner of &S&T Tactical, said that the legislation would not affect the City of Lawrence because open carry is already legal in Lawrence.

Q&A
Professor speaks out about students bullying faculty
JENNIFER SALVA news@kansan.com
Nobody likes to be bullied
Nobody likes to be billed — including professors. Dr. Robert Harrington, a professor in the Department of Psychology and Research in Education, teaches a course about bullying prevention and intervention, which includes the seldom-considered issue of students bullying professors. He has researched the subject, and says it happens here and at other universities. The following are excerpts from a recent interview with Harrington:
You teach one of the Midwest's only courses on bullying that addresses a topic that people usually don't associate with bullying: students bullying educators. How often does this type of bullying
happen at the University?
RH: I don't have exact stats, because that would have meant I discussed with all faculty over a period of time. I
would say that from what I can see it happens.
I want to make it clear that faculty can bully students too. Faculty are just as culpable. The reason why I got interested in University professors bullied by students is because most people think it's impossible, because there's a power differential and faculty have the power. They get to grade, they're older than you. They have a job, you don't. They're hired by the University, you're not. They're tenured, you're not, and those kinds of things. It is possible.
What led you to study student-to-professor bullying?
RH: I was giving a talk about bullying across the lifespan, and there was a fellow researcher at Emporia State. She said, "Can faculty be bullied?" And I said, "Yeah, I think so." She said, "Because I have a student that when I gave the grades back, he didn't do particularly well on the exam, and the next class he brought a tennis ball. He was squeezing, wrenched at the tennis ball, gritting his teeth." And she said to him, "Are you gonna throw that ball at me?" He said, "Maybe."
This was male on female bullying. She said, "I didn't know what to do. I'm an untenured professor. If I go report it, does that mean I don't know how to control my class? Does that mean I'm incompetent?" They worry about that because some schools still have a perspective that, "Oh you can't handle bullying in your class? You can't handle classroom management. Well that must mean you're not very well trained."
RH: Bullying, to start off with, has three components.
How is bullying defined?
If a student doesn't understand that that is wrong, it could continue, and it could escalate.
It's intentional infliction of harm. Number two, it's about a power differential. I'm bigger than you, I'm stronger than you or there's something different about you. You're gay. I bully you for that. You're black. I bully you for that. You're disabled. I bully you for that. Anything that makes you different from me. That gives me, in my mind, some power. It could be about weight. It could be about height. It could be about the way you wear your hair. The third thing is it has to happen all the time. So you know two kids getting in a fight on the playground or somebody insulting someone else, that's rude discourteous behavior, but that's not bullying, because bullying happens over time. It's a relational problem. And that can happen at universities.
Are bullies and their victims usually male or female?
RH: The research is pretty clear that female professors are
more likely to be bullied than male professors, by either female or male students.
Generally females are smaller than guys. So what you'll hear is, "He came up to me, face to face, and I felt really intimidated." You get a big guy standing face-to-face to you, and they don't even have to say much, and it can be quite intimidating. Some students will use their physicality to get in your face, too.
What does it look like when students bully professors about grades?
RH: There's a big push to get good grades because many students want to go to graduate school. We get into a lot of different issues with grades. It could be bullying professors about, "I should've gotten another point or two on this essay," and the faculty member is pushed into it to change that grade.
There are faculty who don't
want to go through grading panels and having been here 34 years. I talk to faculty who think, "The student got a C. They want a B+, fine, I just can't deal with this." Now that's bullying.
What should a professor do if he or she is bullied?
RH: Bullying you can flip around and it can become a great learning experience. Let me put it this way: You can be really smart intellectually, but if you are not smart emotionally, we call that emotional intelligence, it doesn't help a lot. Emotional intelligence is how you handle yourself in interrelationships. So for instance, if you have good ideas, but you are abrasive, if you don't communicate you don't problem solve, it doesn't help.

Adam Lower auditions for
the Broadway musical "Newies."
MADDY MIKINSKI
news@kansan.com
Adam Lower, a junior from Wichita, traveled to New York City last weekend to audition for Broadway. He was one of only 60 people to be considered for the show.
"I'd never been to New York before, but I decided to fly out by myself to audition for the Broadway musical 'Newsies,' Lower said.
Lower saw an ad online and after speaking with a cast member from Broadway's
Cinderella," he decided to go audition. After learning a short dance in 15 minutes, Lower wasn't chosen, but said that for him the journey was the best part.
"I remember he was really excited about [auditioning]," said his friend Taylor Rice, a junior from Overland Park. "He was looking up audition videos. He downloaded the whole soundtrack to the musical."
Lower showed up to auditions three hours early to ensure his place.
Lower is no stranger to talent. Throughout his varied athletic career, Lower has tumbled and dived. He has set a diving record and placed in Cheerleading Worlds. He's also a member of the University Dance Company.
"I watched the other guys warm up and I was amazed by the talent." Lower said.
Lower credits his previous sports with helping him excel in dancing.
"Diving and tumbling contribute to my ability to dance because the sports taught me
Lower also uses other means to improve his dancing.
body control and flexibility; Lower said.
"If [Lower's] not in dance class, he's looking at dance videos on YouTube. He always tries to improve himself dance-wise. He always has a new move to conquer," Rice said.
Lower, a biology major and residential assistant at Lewis Hall, is involved in numerous other activities.
"I'm involved in Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, Able Hawks
and Allies and I have two jobs. I have been a member of SUA and Student Senate," Lower said.
Slowly though, Lower is starting to realize he can't do everything.
"Wanting to go to medical school while also desiring to audition for roles in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles has made me have to re-evaluate my goals," Lower said. "I've decided to just go wherever my heart leads me."

Define yourself by what you do, not what you are
I feel like shrieking along to my favorite Sparks album today. It's called "Kimono My House," and it has a swell cover with a picture of two women in kimonos looking bubbly and stereotypical. To think that if they'd released it today instead of in 1974, people would have called that cover "cultural appropriation" and cried for the band to be filleted on the cutting board of tolerance. If you have so few problems that you have time to scold somebody who isn't Japanese for wearing a kimono, I envy you. Mostly because you can use chopsticks; I always look stupid eating Tryyaki with a fork.
That was a joke. Don't get your kimono in a twist.
I belt the opening lines and head to Thought Catalog, because I'm jonesing for some faux outrage. A writer claims she's oppressed because her Catholic university didn't want its name attached to her women's studies department's production of "The Vagina Monologues." She recalls her performance, which she and her friends dragged their hyper-conservative families to: "When you can stare down a middle-aged Irish-Catholic man... and talk about your love of pleasuring a woman, you can truly do ANYTHING." Apparently, subjecting your aging relatives to speeches
about your sex life is what empowerment looks like now. Who knew?

I finish with Sparks and put on Brian Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain." One lyric jumps out at me.
"I'm wasting fingers like I had them to spare / Plugging holes in the Zuiderzee."
You know, we once had holes in the dikes of our fundamental rights and a generation of activists with waterlogged fingers held back the sea until our government could plug the holes more effectively.
But that didn't stop people from wanting to put their fingers in things, and now we're convincing each other that sitting on the dike and putting our fingers in our own orifices is just as revolutionary as what the old guard did in our grandparents' time.
So instead of yelling about microaggressions on your favorite millennial hive, why not just thank those who made sure you could vote, go to school and get a job, no matter the color of your skin or the shape of your crotch? Think: these people devoted their lives to plugging that dike, so you wouldn't have to plug it yourself.
How do you repay them?
By using your precious talent to rant about your genitals? By guarding the
kimono factory, ensuring the white man doesn't use your culture to sell albums? If the progressives of the past were here, they'd probably tell you to quit wallowing and show your "oppressors" up. They didn't spend all that time holding back the Zuiderzee for you to just stay victims, did they?
Want more women doing science? If you're a woman looking for a major, take some science electives; you could be that female scientist we need. Can't stand white folks like Macklemore usurping traditionally black genres of music? Make something better. There are many outlets for local musicians in Lawrence; if you're less annoying than Miley Cyrus, you could amass throngs of rabid fans.
Whatever you do,define yourself by your vocation instead of by your race or gender. The latter are based on dumb luck,but the former is based on your impressive talent that you took the time to refine.
And, as you knock their socks off, make your mantra an old progressive's saying: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Don't worry; I'm pretty sure calling that a mantra doesn't constitute appropriating his culture.

Tips are a must, not a maybe
As a waitress who almost relies solely on tips for my income, I appreciated where the article "Service Workers Rely on Tips More than Wages" was coming from. Despite its good intentions, applying the 15 percent standard for tipping servers to all restaurants is problematic.
Though the number came from CNN, it fails to account for different ways restaurants divide the servers tips. A lot of restaurants, including mine, make servers tip out hosts, busers, kitchen staff and bartenders by a percentage of their total sales. Your tip is not going directly to the server. Most servers make $2 to $3 each hour and whatever tips people give them for their service. After giving a portion of my gratuity to all these people at the end of the day, sometimes I will make less than minimum wage per hour on slow nights, even if people tip 10 to 15 percent. Working weekends, when it's busier, can make up for the difference. But that puts someone in a hard situation if they aren't scheduled for a weekend or need to take
those days off.
The minimum you should tip someone should be 20 percent if that person works at a restaurant that has a bar, hosts and busiers. Good or bad service. If the restaurant doesn't have any of these, then the 10 to 15 percent range is acceptable. Tip more if your server provided excellent service. Do not go out to eat if you don't factor in the cost of the tip. Please.
Something the article could have also mentioned is that most people don't realize what good service is. I've been stiff for things that were beyond my control — the food or drinks taking longer than usual, being sat somewhere they disliked, and so on. If your server can guide you through the menu, checks up on you and has a friendly attitude they're doing their job well. Tip them accordingly.
Serving without tips, or without adequate tips, is not a living wage. Appreciate your servers.

Anonymous app 'Yik Yak' causes campus controversy
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
According to an article on techcrunch.com, Yik Yak was started by two Furman University students, Tyler Droll and Brooks Buffington. The makers of Yik Yak say that this anonymity is what drives the app in so many places, including the app's main website. The names of the makers aren't listed and everything is signed from "The Yak" or from no one at all.
Yik Yak, the newest social media craze, took over Lawrence in a matter of days. The app is similar to Twitter in that you can post your thoughts, but what makes the app so popular is the anonymity of the posts. Once downloaded, the app asks you for your location and then places you in a five-mile radius range. Once placed in that range, your news feed is automatically connected to the app users in your five-mile radius.
"Anonymity is powerful, for better or for worse," starts a blog post from "The Yak" on the app's official website. "People ask us all the time why we felt the need to make Yik Yak anonymous, and the answer is quite simple. It gives people a blank slate to work from, effectively removing all preconceptions about them."
range from thoughts about Joel Embid and his decision to stay or leave, to targeted comments about specific people or Greek houses.
Panhellenic President Maggie Young says that she and the entire Panhellenic executive committee are disappointed in the app and how it has portrayed the Greek community along with the University community.
University students' posts
"This is not the sort of thing we stand for, nor is it something any of us would choose to be a part of," Young said. "Although it's easier said than done, the chapters and people who are specifically referenced should brush this kind of thing off their shoulders. The Greek community has a lot of positive things to offer, and letting something as inconsequential as this app cast a shadow over that fact would honestly be silly, for lack of a better word."
Not only is the app affecting the Greek and the University community, but it has affected high school students all over the country. Although the creators of the app say that Yik Yak was originally created for college students, the phenomenon is spreading fast in high schools.
If you Google "Yik Yak," numerous articles pop up about bullying problems in high schools and the worries parents have about the app. Al-
nough a post gets deleted if it is reported or if it is sent in as a screen shot to Yik Yak, the post was still able to be seen for the amount of time it was up. But even with these security precautions, bullying may still be the least of parents' worries.
According to an article from the Huffington Post, San Clemente High School in Orange County, Calif., was the latest victim of a "Yik Yak attack." And this attack went far beyond bullying. It was used to post a bomb threat that caused a school-wide lockdown. Police were able to identify the students who posted the threat using the location settings of the posts and the IP addresses of their phones. This is only one of the many similar instances that Yik Yak has caused.
Yik Yak may be the newest craze, but like other social media apps, may not last long. A Greek house or specific person may be the popular topic to rip on today, but it will be something new tomorrow. With no restrictions in the University community as of yet, the only thing for users to do is Yak on.

Free-to-play changes gaming industry landscape
4
JAMES HOYT
entertain@kansan.com
As it has matured, the gaming industry has had to make changes. Most recently, the way games are released and are paid for have accounted for some of those changes. Increasingly, video games are being released in a "free-to-play" format, a monetization method originally pioneered in Asian markets, such as South Korea and China. Free-toplay (F2P) strategies involve releasing a game for free, but charging for in-game purchases or items, customizations or
other features. PlanetSide 2, League of Legends and World of Tanks are three well-known F2P games on PC. However, the format has made its biggest North American impact in the mobile gaming space, with games such as Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans, Plants vs. Zombies 2 and others that are dominating the market.
F2P has been criticized by some as exploitive, preying on a small fraction of the market who may feel obligated to buy every item they can or otherwise be addicted to an F2P game. Indeed some games, targeted at children, have been set
up as scams, with things such as $100 item packs. Others believe that F2P is a good strategy for multiplayer-only games, letting players pay for the kind of experience they want for less than a $60 retail product bought in full. Gamers have varying opinions on F2P games and methods.
"I think that unless the model is very well done, it's not great," said Max Driscoll, a freshman from Lenexa. "The worst one is Dungeon Keeper. It's an old franchise, it came out in the '90s. It was great — it basically invented tower defense... EA re-released it [as
an F2P game]. You're underground and it can take anywhere from four to 24 hours to dig out one square without buying something."
Joe Bush, a freshman from Overland Park, sees a more positive side of the method. "For the industry, I think, as a whole it's an effective way to make your game palatable after a couple years, like Team Fortress 2 was, because that was getting kind of stagnant. When they started adding the free-to-play stuff like that it also kind of gave you more of an incentive to play," Bush said.
Both Driscoll and Bush said that Killer Instinct, a freeto-play fighting game for the Xbox One, is a good model for the industry on how F2P should work.
"The free-to-play model for this was you could get it for free and you had one fighter you could use online, and [the fighter roster] would rotate every month," said Driscoll of Killer Instinct.
"You could buy everything for the price of a regular game... it's a good way to get people' interest... it's like a demo, or something like that," Bush said. "[Players] get that
first taste and go for more of it"
However, it's clear that until F2P models, in general, become more balanced in favor of gameplay, they have a long way to go before they are widely respected as a model. Driscoll said, "I think, honestly, it could have been a good thing... for every one of your good examples like Hearthstone, Killer Instinct or Bravely Default, you have your Dungeon Keepers. They're all over. Just go to the App Store and look at the list of things that say 'free.'"

NON-STOP
THE HACKING WAS JUST THE BEGINNING

'Non-Stop' offers non-stop entertainment
UNIVERSAL PICTURES
By Andrew Hoskins entertain@kansan.com
The great modern film director Paul Thomas Anderson once said something to the effect of, "We [film directors] are really messing up with the action genre." Anderson used harsher language, but it might seem that he's right — at least from an artistic and aesthetic perspective. The formulaic, caged plot structure of the American action genre seems to lead all of its films down the same bland, predictable road.
What I think Anderson forgot, however, was that action movies can still be pretty gosh darn entertaining. "Non-Stop" doesn't transcend any eternal struggles of man or make any sweeping, grandiose statements about the human condition as Anderson's films do, but it does provide 106 minutes of pretty much "non-stop" (heh heh) entertainment.
The movie opens showing troubled, alcoholic U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) boarding a seemingly routine flight from New York City to London. After taking his seat, he begins some friendly, but somber chit chat with a giddy redhead named Jen (Julianne Moore). He then kicks back and prepares to enjoy the flight — while keeping a watchful, marshal eye
out, of course. Suddenly, he receives a creepy, threatening text message from someone on board, even though tapping into an air marshal's cell network is apparently a federal offense. After a little back-and-forth texting banter, Marks learns that the bad guy wants $150 million wired into an account or he's going to... wait for it... kill someone on board every 20 minutes. Ahh! Marks springs into action, then seems to do everything the exact opposite of how a real air marshal would probably do in this situation. The rest of the film becomes a whodunit race against the clock as Marks scrambles to find the cell-phone-wielding menace.
"Non-Stop" is fast-paced and truly keeps you guessing, but despite being effectively suspenseful and action-packed, it certainly has its weak points. While the title refers to the non-stop flight they are on, it could just as easily be referring to the non-stop cheesiness that characterizes the movie's dialogue and pivotal plot elements. It is riddled with clichés and it's kind of hard to watch at times.
Neselson basically plays an alcoholic version of Bryan Mills from the "Taken" franchise. He's tough, gruff and menacing as ever — although one guy in the movie still has the stones to fight him in a tiny airplane bathroom — and has the same quietly kind side he takes on in most of his newer films. Not much new here.
Moore is kind of a fish out of water in this movie. It
seems odd that an actress who showed us so much gut-wrenching emotion in Oscar-worthy roles like Linda Partridge in "Magnolia" or Amber Waves in "Boogie Nights" would stoop to this level. Why would "The Big Lebowski's" slick, no-nonsense Maude choose to be in a nutty movie like this? The world may never know.
All in all, "Non-Stop" is a ridiculous, yet very fun ride to
take. If you're looking for any kind of romantic, artistic or Oscar-clear cinema, skip it. But if action movies are your thing then there's plenty of really good stuff for you here.

THE LATE MONDAY NEWS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojewich, left, visits with host David Letterman on the set of "The Late Show with David letterman." in New York. Letterman announced Thursday that he is retiring in 2015.
Letterman's departure will reshape late-night
NEW YORK  Jimmy Fallon's fast start replacing Layen on the "Tonight" show the past two months had a secondary effect: David Letterman suddenly seemed old.
The Top 10 list, the ironic detachment, even the set at the Ed Sullivan Theater. Time doesn't stop for comedy legends, or superstars of any sort. Letterman, who announced Thursday that he will retire from late-night television sometime in 2015, had to feel it.
CBS now faces the challenge of moving on in a reordered late-night world at a time the two Jimmy's — NBC's Fallon and ABC's Kimmel — have a significant head start.
When Jay Leno left in February, Letterman lost his foil — the man whose victory in the competition to replace Johnny Carson two decades ago he never let go. Leno was someone who spoke his language, though, a generational compadre, and when he left, Letterman was alone.
Fallon and Kimmel have a different style, more good-natured and less mocking of the entire concept of a talk show.
It's hard to know what role the new competition played in Letterman's decision: His last contract extension, signed before Fallon took over, was for one year. In the past, he's done multi-year extensions.
The first time Leno left latenight, Letterman ascended to the throne. Not this time. Since Fallon began at "Tonight," his show has averaged 5.2 million viewers, while Letterman has averaged 2.7 million and Kimmel 2.65 million, the Nielsen company said. Last year Letterman averaged 2.9 million and Kimmel 2.5 million, so the direction was clear.
Much of late-night now is about making an impression in social media, or in highlight clips that people can watch on their devices and spread around the next day. Fallon and Kimmel have excelled in spreading their comedy beyond their time slots; Letterman has barely bothered.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 1
When Cowger had her first manic episode, she didn't sleep for days on end. She'd spend all night reorganizing her book-shelf, first alphabetically, then by color, then by which she liked best, then by category.
She has since been diagnosed with bipolar II disorder.
"I feel wound up and frantic [during a manic episode], like I have to get everything done," she said.
During this episode, she started showing symptoms of a different eating disorder: bulimia.
At first, she would eat something and think, "That's good. I can have one more bite." Soon, she would be eating anything and everything she could as fast as she could.
She would realize what she had done, freak out and force herself to throw up.
Cowger said she would binge and purge 10 to 15 times a day, sometimes eating 3,000 to 4,000 calories in 20 minutes.
Bulimia was an addiction. Going from uncomfortably full to completely empty made her feel good.
She gained 20 to 30 pounds, putting her back into a normal weight range. She looked healthier.
"I felt a lot worse physically," she said.
Bulimia brought on digestive problems. She sometimes threw up blood. She had stomach and esophagus ulcers. The strain of vomiting would pop blood vessels in her face or eyes. Her teeth are still sensitive from all the stomach acid.
"I felt like I deserved to feel that bad," Cowger said.
When people started catching on, she had to be creative. If people were suspicious of her going to the bathroom, shed turn on music loudly in her room and empty a vomit bucket at night when everyone else was asleep. She'd skip school to hop between different fast food restaurants and purge at a Walmart public bathroom.
After her junior year of high school, Cowger dropped out.
"I just couldn't get myself to go," she said.
Cowger firmly believed she would be dead before the age of 25.
"I didn't think I was trying to kill myself, but I didn't care if I did," she said. "I didn't really care about anything."
around me more than myself." Cowger said. "I didn't want to upset them."
At 18, she was having a really bad night. She called a suicide hotline, which recommended she talk with her parents, who agreed to take her to a therapist.
Cowger fidgeted through her first therapy session. She looked at her hands, her lap — anywhere but directly at her therapist — because she was so ashamed.
"I did it for the people
Her therapist was calm and listened non-judgmentally. It was validating.
The people around her were excited Cowger was getting help, so she stuck with it. She went through intensive therapy and different medication combinations.
She received her GED diploma in December 2011 and applied to the University of Kansas.
For Cowger, getting better happened really fast.
"She got more vibrant," Hagan said. "She woke up again. She started being interested in more things and more able to do things."
Hagan, a junior from Topeka, has known Cowger since they were in fifth grade, but has seen her less when they went to different schools. As Cowger went through more therapy and got better and better, Hagan saw more of her. Cowger was emotionally available and Hagan slowly realized they could rely on each other.
They've been dating for a year and a half.
Hagan keeps Cowger accountable. When Cowger is tempted by self-destructive thoughts, she thinks, "If you do this, you're going to have to tell Rachel. Do you want to have this conversation?"
"Even after you get better and start doing well, it's still a struggle," Cowger said. "I still have struggles that people without mental illness don't have."
Cowger can't do all-nighters — it would take weeks to recover from a possibly triggered manic episode or to stay on her medicine. She always has to look at her classes' late policies because she can't guarantee that she won't lapse into a depressive stage.
When people are recovering from a physical illness such as the flu, people would ask them how they're feeling. People should feel comfortable asking how people recovering from a mental illness are feeling too, Cowger said.
She wants to reduce the stigma around mental illness.
"I think the best way to do that is to talk about it."

"There's no fire, there's no flame," he said. "It's just water that turns into vapor. If you smoke an electric cigarette you aren't harming the environment and you aren't harming anyone around you."
Alex Jaumann, a junior from Westminster, Colo., also uses e-cigarettes as an alternative when he can't smoke hookah.
When asked about the "no smoking" policy, which now includes e-cigarettes, Lee said he doesn't think the University strictly enforces the policy, but that if he were fined for using an e-cigarette he would fight it. While the University no longer allows the use of e-cigarettes in or around campus buildings, places such as The Burger Stand, 23rd Street Brewery and Salty Iguana allow e-cigarettes to be used.
Jaumann lived in the scholarship halls last year and said he would use e-cigarettes in his room and sometimes in the shared kitchen when cooking for himself.
"I find the policy a little excessive at this point since e-cigarettes don't leave a smell that lasts more than a second or two," he said.
"I don't completely disagree with the policy since it still allows for vaporizing in people's rooms on campus," Jaumann said.
To read the full policy on smoking please visit http://www.policy.ku.edu/provost/smoking-policy.
However, Jaumann does sympathize with people who feel uncomfortable around smoke and smoke-like vapor.

UConn advances to national championship
Connecticut forward Tyler Olander (10) celebrates with teammates at the end of an NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball semifinal game against Florida on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. Connecticut won 63-53.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas Shabazz Napier looked up toward the Connecticut fans in the crowd at AT&T Stadium and held up one finger.
The Huskies had just beaten overall No. 1 seed Florida 63-53 on Saturday in the Final Four. But Napier's gesture had another meaning.
"One more to go," the firstteam All-American said.
The victory got them into Monday night's title game against Kentucky and it was as good an effort as any team came up with this season against the Gators, who came in having won 30 straight games, a streak that started after a loss to the Huskies four months ago.
"We have been in a lot of dog fights," Napier said. "We are just an experienced group. We believe in each other and continue to believe in each other.
Especially against Florida.
... We are going to win. That is what we do."
The Gators lost only three times this season — once to Wisconsin in the second game of the season and twice to the Huskies. The first time was on Dec. 2 when a foul-line jumper at the buzzer by Napier gave UConn a 65-64 victory.
They didn't have to wait that long to know they had this one.
The Huskies, the seventh seed in the East Regional, will meet Kentucky, the eighth seed in the Midwest, on Monday night. There have only been two No. 8 seeds to reach the championship game since the field expanded in 1985 — Villanova in 1985 and Butler in 2011. Connecticut is the first No. 7 seed to reach the title game.
This will be the first time since 1966 that two teams that weren't in the tournament the year before meet for the title. The teams that year were Texas Western and Kentucky. Connecticut was ineligible last season because of academic issues and Kentucky played in the NIT.
Napier helped seal this game with about 2 minutes to play when he made two free throws for a 59-47 lead. That margin was the deficit the Huskies (31-8) faced in the opening minutes after a cold shooting
start.
"I knew we was going to get back in the game. They knew we was going to get back in the game," second-year coach Kevin Ollie said. "We live and die on defense and hopefully everybody understands that."
With Ollie in a defensive stance himself most of the game, the Huskies sidetracked the Florida offense by shutting down point guard Scottie Wilbekin and 3-point specialist Michael Frazier II, who scored a combined seven points.
"UConn was very good with their pressure on our guards and we didn't convert points," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "They scored a lot on as well. So all the credit goes to them."
The Huskies were impressive
We are just an experienced group. We believe in each other and continue to believe in each other. ... We are going to win. That is what we do."
SHABAZZ NAPIER
UConn point guard
on offense, shooting 55.8 percent (24 of 43) from the field against a team that allowed opponents to shoot 39.9 percent this season.
"DeAndre was huge for us," Ollie said. "He stepped up and really rebounded for us and was pretty much unstoppable."
"Whomever 1 put in the game, it was positive and they were productive," Ollie said.
DeAndre Daniels had 20 points and 10 rebounds for Connecticut, and it was his two 3-pointers in a span of 1:43 that helped ignite the Huskies after they had fallen behind 16-4.
Napier had two key second-half steals on Wilbekin, both of which led to UConn baskets. Wilbekin was bothered by cramps throughout the game.
Napier, who leads the team in almost every category, finished with 12 points and six assists. He definitely got the better of Wilbekin in a matchup of senior point guards, both conference players of the year.
Wilbekin said. "I got out of the game and got some ice and it wasn't really a problem from then on."
"It was right when the second half started. I was getting a little cramp, it wasn't too bad,"
The Connecticut guards were. Florida had 11 turnovers and a season-low three assists.
"That's crazy, that's not usually what we do," Wilbekin said. "All credit goes to them and their guards and the way they were denying and putting pressure on us."
Patric Young had 19 points for Florida (36-3), which had won all of its NCAA tournament games by at least 10 points. The Gators shot just 38.8 percent from the field (19 of 49), well off their 46.1 percent average.
"Once they got their defense set, I thought we had a hard time dealing with their pressure up top," Donovan said.
The Huskies used 3-pointers to open things up inside, hitting 5 of 12 from long range. They had such an easy time scoring inside that they had only one basket outside the paint in the final 20 minutes, shooting 63.6 percent (14 of 22).
HUMBLE, Texas — Matt Jones earned his first trip to the Masters with a remarkable 42-yard chip-in on the first playoff hole, outdueling Matt Kuchar on his way to winning the Houston Open on Sunday.
Florida was just one for 10 from 3-point range and the Gators' most effective weapon on through most of the game was an offensive rebound off a miss. They had 12 in the game and turned them into 13 points.
Florida's defense — which was No. 3 in the nation — was suffocating early and the Gators took a 16-4 lead with a 7-0 run that was capped by a drive by Wilbekin with 9:47 to play.
The win is the first on the PGA Tour for the Australian, who made a 46-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to reach the playoff. He ended it one hole later, chipping over the right front bunker on the 18th and watching it roll in.
PGA
The Huskies suddenly found their shooting touch. Connecticut made four straight shots and three of them were from beyond the 3-point line
In the second half, the Huskies stretched the lead to 59-47 with 2:04 left, turning the 12-point deficit into a 12-point lead. They are in the title for the fourth time, the first three all wins under coach Jim Calhoun.
— two by Daniels and another by Ryan Boatright. A drive by Napier gave the Huskies the lead for good, 23-22 with 2:20 left in the half.
Jones' playoff chipin wins Houston Open
Jones, who began the day six shots back of Kuchar, shot a final-round 66 and ended the tournament 15 under overall.
Kuchar, who bogeyed the final hole of regulation, then missed his shot to give Jones the win.
Florida was looking to reach the national championship game for the first time since repeating as champions in 2007.
In September, Jones lipped out an 8-foot birdie putt on the last hole of the BMW Championship.
Jones sent his tee shot on the first hole of the playoff into the right fairway bunker. He then landed just short of the green-
It was the second straight miss of the 18th green from the fairway for Kuchar, who sent his fairway metal on the 72nd hole into the water before recovering to make bogey and reach the playoff.
side bunker with his second shot; while Kuchar found the bunker from the fairway.
Jones didn't leave Kuchar any room for error in the playoff, sending his chip over the greenside bunker and watching as it rolled in.
Golfers were sent off in three-somes early Sunday morning for the second day in a row because of the threat of strong storms in the Houston area. The rain, heavy at times, began early during the final pairing's round, but the pros finished without any delays.
Kuchar started the day with a four-shot lead over Garcia and Cameron Tringale, but he bogeyed the first hole and was one over on the front nine.
That allowed lones, who began the day at nine under, to briefly tie for the lead at 14 under following a birdie on the par-4 11th.
Kuchar answered moments later
with a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 10. The putt gave him a one-shot lead at 15 under, a lead that seemed solid until the final hole of regulation.
With Kuchar watching from the tee, Jones bounced back from a bogey on the 17th to make a 46-foot birdie putt on No. 18. That sent him to 15 under overall, one shot back of the lead.
Kuchar hit the fairway before his second shot found the water — opening the door for Jones to earn the win and his improbable trip to next week's Masters.
Garcia finished in third at 13 under, while Tringale was fourth at 12 under.
Rory McIlroy matched the low round of the tournament with a seven-under 65 on Sunday, finishing tied for seventh at eight under overall.
Filip Nickelson, who won the tournament in 2011, was one under on Sunday and finished seven under overall in a tie for 12th — a week after he was forced to withdraw from the Texas Open because of a muscle pull in his right side.

On Friday, the Lady Bears dominated doubles play taking all three matches to gain the doubles point
the Lady Bears went on to grab the first singles victory when Baylor's Alex Clay defeated Kansas' Caroline Henderson 6-2, 6-1. The next Kansas player to go down was Maria Cardona, who fell to 48th-ranked Jordaan Sanford 1-6, 3-6.

The Jayhawks are now 2-4 in the Big 12 and 11-8 overall in the season.
On Sunday, the jayhawks were looking for a big victory against No. 25 Texas on Senior Day. Seniors Claire Dreyer, Los and Windom each received framed jerseys for the occasion.

A bad day got worse for New York when the Hawks-Pacers game went final. The Knicks (33-45) are two games behind the Hawks in the race for the final playoff spot, three in the loss column. And New York has only four games left.
James scored 38 points and the Heat survived an NBA-record 22 3-point attempts from New York's J.R. Smith in a 102-91 victory that kept Miami atop the Eastern Conference standings.
He eventually got into form,
just in time to perhaps doom
the Knicks' playoff chances.

"You do your job and you live with the results." James said. "We lived with the result of J.R. making some of those bombs."
"Melo is still hurting." Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "I couldn't rest him again tonight. That second half, he was giving us what he's got."
MIAMI — LeBron James couldn't wake up Sunday. He was sluggish when his alarm went off at 8 a.m. and still in a funk when the Miami Heat and New York Knicks tipped off five hours later.
New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith (8) goes up for a shot against Miami Heat forward LeBron James (6) during the second half of an NBA game Sunday in Miami. James scored 38 points.

"It's not really been a goal of mine," Smith said. "I saw the open 3 and tried to take them. I had to take advantage."
Chris Bosh added 14 points and Ray Allen had 12 for the Heat (53-23), who are a full game ahead of Indiana (53-25) and two up in the loss column in the East race. The Pacers lost at home to Atlanta later Sunday night.
Smith was 11 for 28 from the floor, 10 for 22 from beyond the arc and took 10 3-pointers in the fourth quarter alone while Carmelo Anthony didn't attempt a single shot in the period.

Smith finished with 32 for the Knicks. Anthony has been bothered by a sore right shoulder, but played 44 minutes.

James had four turnovers in the opening minutes and New York — which had its best opening two and a half minutes offensively in at least a decade, according to STATS LLC — held a 16-3 lead.
"Our fate is almost now in Atlanta's hands," Anthony said. "It's tough. ... My fate is in somebody else's hands."
Miami's lead was 15 with just under nine minutes to go before the Knicks made it interesting. Iman Shumpert missed a wide-open 3 with 3:30 left that would have gotten New York within four James answered a layup at the other end and after Smith made his ninth 3, Mario Chalmers answered with one of his own, making Miami's lead 97-88.
It was still 16-3 when Felton was whistled for a second early foul, and everything changed. The Knicks missed six straight shots and the Heat scored nine straight points. James — who had one turnover in the final three and a half quarters — settled down and things started going Miami's way.
So Smith made another, giving the Knicks life. And Miami again answered, this
"Flummoxing." Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It was bizarre. Our turnovers were, no offense to the Knicks, absolutely unforged."
Miami got snippy with one another in plenty of huddles during the game, something that Spoelstra seemed to particularly relish.
"Verbally spitting at each other, I like it," Spoelstra said. "That's what we need to get ready for the second season."
time Bosh doing the long-range honors to restore the nine-point edge.
And after that sizzling 14-point beginning, New York needed more than 13 minutes to score its next 14 points. A 31-10 run helped the Heat take as much as an eight-point lead in the second quarter, before the Knicks went into halftime up 50-48.
Miami found some breathing room by scoring the final seven points of the third. James laid it in while getting fouled with 4.1 seconds left. He gave Miami its biggest lead to that point, making the free throw that put the Heat up 73-64 entering the fourth.
Miami played without Dwyane Wade (hamstring), Greg Oden (back) and Chris Andersen (back, knee). Amare Stoudemire scored 12 and Tyson Chandler finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds for New York.
James had four turnovers by the time Miami scored six points. But he settled in before the quarter was over, outmuscling Tim Hardaway Jr. for what became a 3-point play. Hardaway tried to wrap James up on a break, but the four-time MVP kept going, scored and then flexed a biceps muscle to the roaring crowd.

Senior infielder Ashley Newman goes to bat against the Oklahoma Sooners. The Jayhawks lost all three games this weekend.
Jayhawks fall to Sooners in three-game series
The five game winning streak for Kansas softball (28-13) came to a halt this weekend when Oklahoma (28-8) swept the three-game series in Norman, Okla.
Despite efforts from sophomore pitcher Kelsey Kessler, senior outfielder Alex Jones and senior infielder Ashley Newman, the losses were hard to overcome when the Jayhawks couldn't get a hit.
In the first game of the series with the defending national
champions, Kansas connected once with a hit from junior infielder Maddie Stein. In the second game of the series, Kansas had five hits, the highest of the series for the Jayhawks. In the third game, Kansas had two hits, both coming from Newman.
Next up for the Jayhawks is the last non-conference game of the season with the team traveling to University of Missouri Kansas City on Tuesday, April 8. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Pistorius to finally answer questions on shooting
INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
(1)
PRETORIA, South Africa More than a year after he killed his girlfriend, Oscar Pistorius is expected to finally answer questions about why he shot Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door. His murder trial resumes this week and his defense lawyers will begin presenting the evidence they hope will save the Olympic athlete from going to prison for 25 years to life.
Pistorius' account that he killed Steenkamp by mistake is going to "stand or fall" with his testimony in court, a legal expert says.
Charged with premeditated murder for Steenkamp's death, Pistorius and his defense team say he will testify to counter accusations that he intentionally killed Steenkamp by firing four times through the door in his bathroom before dawn on Valentine's Day last year, hitting her in the head, arm and hip. Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for a dangerous intruder hiding in a bathroom.
jury, meaning Judge Thokozile Masipa will pronounce Pistorius guilty or not guilty of murder, and Pistorius has the chance to convince her that he did not intentionally kill the 29-year-old model.

South Africa has no trial by
Oscar Pistorius leaves court in Pretoria, South Africa on March 28 after the trial was postponed. Pistorius is charged with shooting his girlfriend.
But Pistorius's testimony also gives prosecutors the chance to cross-examine the celebrated double-ampute runner and scrutinize every aspect of his story.
Facing a possible life sentence, his questioning by chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel could be the biggest challenge yet for the 27-year-old Pistorius, a disabled athlete who fought for years to win the right to compete alongside able-bodied runners and made history by running at the 2012 Olympics.
Brian Webber, one of Pistorius' lawyers, said they had no choice but to put Pistorius on the stand. Legal experts say it's a risk Pistorius' defense has to take.
Pistorius often reacted emotionally to details of Steenkamp's death in the four weeks of prosecution-led testimony at his trial. He retched loudly
and vomited in court when a pathologist described Steenkamp's grisly injuries and cried and frequently covered his ears while sitting in the dock in an apparent attempt to block out graphic testimony.
During his own testimony, he will have to describe in depth his fatal shooting of Steenkamp.
"A reasonable man most probably would not have fired four shots through the door," Marius du Toit, a criminal defense lawyer and former state
prosecutor in South Africa who is observing, said. "His actions were definitely not reasonable and I think that's his biggest problem."
Prosecutors charge that Pistorius murdered Steenkamp after a fight and he must dispel their accusations that he intentionally shot her as she hid behind the locked door, legal experts say.
Even if he is acquitted of murder, Pistorius faces a negligent killing conviction.
Sale shuts down Royals as White Sox win 5-1
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Sale knew he had to pitch his best Sunday with James Shields starting for the Kansas City Royals.

"Indubitably, yes," Sale said. "You know what you're getting with a starter like James. You have to bear down and do it."
Sale gave up four singles in eight scoreless innings as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Royals 5-1 in a pitching duel between top starters.
Alexei Ramirez and Tyler Flowers each drove in a pair of runs as the White Sox won the series finale after dropping the first two games.
Sale (2-0) struck out six and walked one. In his previous four starts against the Royals, the White Sox had backed him with one run, enough to beat James Shields 1-0 in the 2012 opener.
opened.
"There was an energy to Chris coming off the mound," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Big pitchers do that when you face up against a guy like Shields. He knows we've lost three in a row and he's going up against Shields and he wanted to go out and shut them down."
said. "Both of them had their A-game on the mound. That's as good of stuff as I've seen James Shields have. He had everything working, his fastball at 94-55, a great cutter, a great change, a great curveball.
Shields (0-1) took the loss in this one, too, giving up a run on five hits, striking out six, walking none and hitting two batters in seven innings.
"What we saw out there today was two No.1 starters that were at the top of their game." Royals manager Ned Yost
"Sale was right there with him. He has everything going. Both starters just pitched a great game, both of them."

Sale allowed a runner past second only in the third inning, when Lorenzo Cain and Omar Infante singled and Ramirez committed a throwing error. Sale wiggled out of trouble by retiring Danny Valencia on a pop up. Cain had two of the hits off Sale.
The White Sox scored four runs in the ninth off Royals left-handed relievers Tim Collins and Francisley Bueno. The inning included a Flowers two-run single and an RBI double by Ramirez.
Alex Gordon singled home Eric Hosmer in the ninth off Matt Lindstrom for the only Kansas City run.
The Royals won their first replay challenge of the season when Marcus Semien was ruled safe at first, but it was overturned on a review that took 68 seconds. White Sox manager Robin Ventura challenged that Hosmer was out at first to complete a double play in the sixth, but replays indicated he was safe.
Plate umpire Greg Gibson issued a warning to both benches in the sixth when Infante had to jump out of the way of Sale's pitch way inside after Shields had hit two batters, including Jose Abreu in the top of the inning.
"I'm not trying to put a runner on base," Shields said.

MLS
Sporting settles for draw in MLS Cup rematch
NICK CHADBOURNE
sports@kansan.com
For an early season game, Sporting Kansas City's match against Real Salt Lake was saltier than the famous lake from which the opposition resides in Saturday night's scoreless draw.
This was the teams' first meeting since last season's MLS Cup, which took the full 90 minutes of regulation, 30 minutes of overtime and ten rounds of penalty kicks to decide a winner. The match established that Kansas City was no longer the Wizards of old, playing unspectacular soccer in front of sparse crowds at the cavernous Arrowhead Stadium. Today, Sporting is an MLS power with some of the league's most passionate supporters.
If you thought the animosity toward each other had dissipated in the 119 days since Sporting's cup win, you'd be wrong.

Sporting Kansas City forward Dom Dwyer (14) misses a kick while covered by Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers, top, during the first half of an MLS soccer match in Kansas City, Kan., Saturday.
Minutes after defeating Colorado Rapids last week, striker Dom Dwyer initiated the week long verbal sniping, stating he hates Salt Lake. Days later, Salt Lake's Nat Borchers said, "We don't like [Sporting] as much as they don't like us. We're just ready to batter each other and go after each other this Saturday."
That they did, from the opening kick to the final whistle.
earn a yellow card in the 39th minute, one of the four doled out during the match. A handful of players from both sides crowded the referee after he showed the card. The crowding violated a new anti-mass confrontation rule, leaving both teams and the involved players subject to fines of $5,000 and $1,000, respectively.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sporting's Chance Myers was sent crashing into an advertisement board at full speed by an opposing defender after streaking down the sideline, causing the board to concave.
The early warnings from the referee came to an end when Salt Lake's Chris Schuler stuck out his foot and tripped Sal Zizzo on a counter-attack to
The match began getting chippy toward the end as Borchers earned a delayed yellow for a late tackle that sent Claudio Bieler flying in an attempt to avoid the challenge. The referee continued play, deciding to give the advantage to Sporting despite six defenders covering three Sporting players ahead of the ball. The advantage ended after Real Salt Lake defender Rich Balchan dispossessed Graham Zusi with a shoulder charge as they battled down the left side, sending the ball out of bounds for a Real goal kick.
Though the referee called 20 combined fouls,the number could've doubled had he been stingier.
The cherry on top came in the 83rd minute as Sporting's Oriol Rosell was shown a straight red card after a dangerous, studs-up tackle.
Rosell's red effectively ended Sporting's chance to take three points.
a one-on-one, which Attinella stoned as he lay extended on the ground.
Kansas City bombarded the goal of goalkeeper Jeff Attinella for a majority of the 90 minutes, yet the back-up keeper answered each assault. He made it clear early in the game that Sporting wouldn't have it easy just because three time all-star and U.S. National Team regular goalkeeper Nick Rimando was resting.
It was the first save of an incoming artillery shelling of Sporting screamers.
Dwyer got behind the defense in the 11th minute, charging down the field unmarked for
Attinella answered Seth Sinovic's 27th minute blast from outside the box by reflexively tipping it over the net. Benny Feilhaber tattooed a volley from the perimeter of the box in the 34th minute after a failed clearance from a Real defender, yet Attinella again extended himself to prevent the goal.
"When I hit it, I thought it was going in, but he got to the spot and made a good save," Feilhaber said.
The assault continued in the second half as Zusi created two chances in the 51st and 52nd minute. Free on the left side, he booted one goal that beat Attinella, but barely sailed past the post. Next, he set up Dwyer with a crossing pass at the penalty spot, but Dwyer's sliding offering was blocked.
Sporting's best chance came in the 63rd minute when it beat Attinella for the second time, but again couldn't beat the net. Dwyer, dashing down the side of the penalty box, pulled Attinella off his line and rounded him then kicked it past his reach toward the net. But Dwyer was unable to angle it from the side and into the net as it bounced off the post. Zizzo was in position at the penalty spot and one-timed it toward the keeper-less net, but the shot was blocked at the goal line by Borchers.
The Kansas City offensive slowed down as Real began improving its possession in the second half. It came to a screeching halt when Rosell earned a straight red for a dangerous tackle on Real's Devon
Sandoval late in the second half. Sandoval avoided contact, yet the referee dismissed Rosell for going in with his studs up. He faces a one game suspension for the straight red per MLS rules.
"I think he wasn't in a good position to see it and just saw the guy go to the ground," Rosell said. "I don't know. I
was thinking it absolutely it wasn't a red card."
Sporting was disappointed with the result after dominating most of the game. Sporting attempted 20 shots with nine on target, compared to Salt Lake's five shots with one on target, and won possession at the tune of 60 percent to 40 percent.
"We did everything right today except the hardest part of the game, which is to score," Feilhaber said.
Sporting (2-1-2) fell to third in the Eastern conference with the draw. They are now on a bye-week and resume play at home against Montreal Impact on April 19.

THE MORNING BREW
NCAA Tournament has more surprises than usual this year
Unpredictability can be the best form of excitement when it comes to sports. The NCAA
Tournament is always full of upsets and surprises. But 2014 is unlike any other year in college basketball.
Notable early upsets in this year's tournament feature No.14 Mercer over No.3 Duke,No.11 Dayton over No.6 Ohio State and No.10 Stanford over No.2 Kansas.
But that was just the beginning of the stunners in this tournament. Fast forward to the Final Four.
No.1 Florida and No.2 Wisconsin were the favorites from a seeding standpoint to win during Saturday's Final Four. But because of the surge from No.7 Connecticut and No.8 Kentucky, basketball fanatics were unsure who would survive and make it to tonight.
By Farzin Vousoughian
sports@kansan.com
Much like the early part of March Madness, the upsets carried over into
early April as Connecticut and Kentucky came out victorious.
tucky came out victorious. Due to the high uncertainty of everything leading up to tonight, national pundits have no confidence in their predictions for tonight's outcome between the Huskies and the Wildcats. The oddsmakers in Vegas will likely change the betting line several times before tonight's opening tip-off.
before tonight's opening game in
Kentucky is the third team to fight
its way to the National Championship
game as a No. 8 seed and Connecticut
has hit the record books as the first No.7 team to reach the finals.
Sports fans love to see some of the top teams square off and battle for all the marbles. But this year, college basketball's championship game will highlight two teams who were projected to exit the tournament early by many. The ambity of the out.
come for this game is what makes it exciting and unique from other championship matches.
Fans who follow college basketball religiously will overanalyze and overthink this matchup.
-
Don't worry about your brackets. They're probably already busted. Don't get caught up in the betting lines over which team is getting the most love from national experts.
THE BREW
Instead, fans should enjoy this rare occasion of a No.7 seed and No.8 seed fighting for a championship when everyone least expected it. Upsets are common, but not to the degree of this year's set of upsets. This type of matchup in a championship may not happen again for a very long time.
Wherever you will be or whomever you watch it with, enjoy tonight's unpredictable championship.

Nationals avoid sweep with 2-1 win over Braves

Desmond ripped a fastball from
for his first save.
Alex Wood (1-1) well into the left field bleachers, the Nationals' first hit since the first inning. But it was enough to win on a day when four Washington pitchers combined to allow eight hits.
Taylor Jordan allowed one run over 6 2-3 innings, working out of several jams along the way, and Jerry Blevins (1-0) retired two batters in the seventh to get the win. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth
Wood gave up two runs and four hits over seven innings for the Braves.
The Nationals finished with four hits — three from their first three batters of the game and Desmond's homer.
The Nationals fielded a lineup one could have hardly expected for the first week of the season. Without Ryan Zimmerman (shoulder trouble), Bryce Harper (batting slump). Scott Hairston (placed on the disabled list) and Denard Span (day off vs. a lefty), rookie manager Matt Williams had Kevin Frandsen playing outfield in a regular season game for the first time since 2010.
The Nationals manufactured their first-inning run after Rendon led off with a bunt single and Frandsen followed with a single to left. When Jayson Werth hit a grounder
up the middle, second baseman Dan Uggla bounced the throw to first — it wouldn't have been in time, anyway — but it rolled far enough from first baseman Freeman for Rendon to score.
The Nationals might have had a bigger inning, but Desmond didn't quite beat out a slow roller to third — a ruling upheld by instant replay.
Jordan pitched out of a bas
es-loaded, one-out jam in the fourth, but the Braves tied it in the sixth when Uggia's flyout to deep left-center scored Freeman.
Jordan was gone after allowing a leadoff single and a sacrifice bunt to start the seventh. Blevins came on and struck out Jason Heyward in a lefty-left matchup and got B.J. Upton to line out to shortstop.
Soriano struck out Heyward with two on in the ninth to finish it

COMMENTARY Manning goes to Wake Forest
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
There will be a day when Bill Self is no longer the head coach at the
University of Kansas
If this is news to you, please
take a moment to gather
yourself.
We just had to get that out of the way because this is not a Bill Self story.
No, this is a story about what happens to Kansas after Self. This is a story about continuing a tradition of basketball excellence long after Self's time here is over. This is a story about the Jayhawks' ninth head coach.
More importantly, this is a story about Danny Manning, a Kansas legend whose move out east has brought him closer to home than ever.
Last Friday, Manning accepted the head coaching position at Wake Forest University after two years at the helm of the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.
In those two years, Manning compiled a 38-29 record, won a Conference USA Championship — Tulsa's first in more than a decade — appeared in the NCAA Tournament and was named C-USA Coach of the Year.
And all of that earned him the opportunity to coach against the likes of Roy Williams, Mike Krzyezewski, Jim Boeheim, Buzz Williams, Jamie Dixon and Tony Bennett.
For Wake Forest, it's a pretty significant bet on a guy with just a couple years of head coaching experience. For Kansas, it was a monumental leap.
Manning's name has always been quietly mentioned among Jayhawk fans as a potential successor to Self. Despite the fact that he's one of the most storied players to suit up for Kansas, Manning was instrumental in recruiting and developing guys like Thomas Robinson, Jeff Withey, Cole Aldrich, the Morris twins and Wayne Simien during his time as an assistant under Self.
"He's been around basketball his whole life, played for so many coaches, been able to steal from everybody and has developed a vast knowledge that will certainly play a huge role in his success as a head coach," Self told the media in 2012 when Manning left for Tulsa.
So now Manning gets his chance to show off that knowledge on one of — if not the biggest — stage in college basketball. The one-time North Carolina native will have his opportunity to march into Cameron Indoor Stadium and the Dean Dome and prove that not only was he one of the game's top players, he's one of the top coaches, too.
That's not to say that he'll succeed though. There are numerous reasons why Manning could fail. In the past 10 years the Demon Deacons have placed higher than fifth in the ACC just twice (2005, 2009) and given the current state of the conference, there's no guarantee they'll be there again anytime soon.
But if Manning does transform Wake Forest, if he does prove himself capable of winning on college basketball's highest platform and starts knocking off the blue bloods, then there'll likely be a North Carolina coach leaving for his home in Kansas.
And how perfect would that be.

Jayhawks go 2-1 in series against Wildcats
BEN FELDERSTEIN sports@kansan.com
It all came down to Sunday. The series was tied at one game apiece. Kansas and its in-state rival Kansas State had split the first two games of their weekend series in Manhattan but the Jayhawks ended the series with a win.
"We have an expression in our clubhouse," coach Ritch Price said. "It's all about Sundays."
Duncan toed the rubber for
And for the Jayhawks this season, Sundays have been all about senior pitcher Frank Duncan. Duncan has been the stopper for Kansas this season. The Jayhawks dropped the first two games of their series against Oklahoma last weekend.
the finale of that game and threw eight innings, allowing only one earned run. Sunday, Duncan finished what he started, throwing a complete game, allowing one earned run on seven hits.
"We have three guys on our staff that can go out there and get the job done on Sundays," Duncan said. "I got slotted for Sundays this year and I'm taking advantage of it. [Robert] Kahana, Wes [Benjamin] and myself are all capable of doing the job."
The Jayhawks offense was led by senior outfielder Tucker Tharp. Tharp crushed a homerun to left field on the first pitch of his at bat in the second inning of Sunday's game. Tharp went 2-3 and helped lead Kansas to a 2-1 victory.
Junior shortstop Justin Protocio stayed hot at the top of the order as he went 3-4 in the series finale. His on-base streak was snapped on Friday in the Jayhawks' 10-0 loss to the Wildcats.
Senior Jordan Piché got his first start of the season on Friday night, filling in for the injured Benjamin. Piché had recently been relieved of his closer role because of ongoing struggles.
Piché struggled his way through Friday night, giving up seven earned runs in five innings of work. The senior right-handed pitcher gave up eight hits and walked three, as well.
Wildcats sophomore pitcher Levi MaVorhis dominated on Friday and threw a complete game, three-hit shutout, striking out four and walking only two. The Wildcats got off to a strong start Friday, putting five runs up on the Jayhawks in the first.
Junior pitcher Kahana lead Kansas to a 6-3 win over K-State in the second game on Saturday. Kahana went six strong innings, allowing three runs on three hits. Freshman Stephen Villines came on with two out in the eighth inning to close out the game. Villines succeeded; allowing the Wildcats only two hits to earn his third save of the season.
"It's a mental thing," Price said. "I switched up his role to give him a bit of a mental rest from the closer role."
Kansas got on the board early this time, scoring two runs on four straight hits in the fourth. Senior catcher Ka'iana
Eldredge, junior left fielder Michael Suiter and sophomore second baseman Colby Wright each had multi-hit games, driving in and scoring a run each.
"Everyone knows their roles." Price said. "One through nine, we get the job done."
Kansas came out of rivalry week with three wins in four games against its inter-state rivalries. The team went 4-2 against Wichita State on Tuesday.
"I needed to do a better job of preparing the guys against K-State, like I used to for a Missouri game," Price said. "We came in wanting to prove we're the best team in the state."

TRACK AND FIELD
Kansas succeeds nationwide, breaks records
BEN BURCH sports@kansan.com
Over the weekend the Jayhawks saw multiple performances that stacked up with some of the best in the school's track and field history.
One of these historic outings came from senior Natalie Becker, who traveled with the rest of the Jayhawk distance runners to Palo Alto, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational. Becker completed the 5,000 meter race in 16:20.80, which not only earned her a 19th place finish in a stacked field of competition, but it etched her name into the Kansas record books as the fastest 5,000-meter runner in school history. Becker's record-breaking performance also moved her into the top 25 in the NCAA rankings.
Meanwhile in Baton Rouge, La., the rest of the Jayhawk track and field team was competing at the Battle on the Bayou, also producing performances that stacked up with the best in school history, Sophomore Rhaveen King turned in one of these performances in the 800 meters. The Memphis, Tenn., native crossed the finish line in
2:08.82, giving her the victory and placing her as the fourth fastest female in the event in school history.
The female 4x100 meter relay team of Tianna Valentine, Sydney Conley, Zainab Sanni and Diamond Dixon also turned in a time to remember, finishing the race in 44.67. The time gave the quartet a third place finish in the event and also made them the sixth-fastest in school history.
There were a total of 15 performances in Louisiana that cracked the NCAA West Region top 25, which ultimately gave the Jayhawk women's team a second place team finish, and the men a third place team finish. According to junior multi-event specialist Lindsay Vollmer, the slew of good performances over the weekend show the potential the team has this outdoor season.
"We didn't get everybody we wanted to nationals [for the indoor season], but I think we're a better outdoor team," Vollmer said. "If we can just continue to build, I think we have a shot to do some good things."

That's not to say that he'll succeed though. There are numerous reasons why Manning could fail. In the past 10 years the Demon Deacons have placed higher than fifth in the ACC just twice (2005, 2009) and given the current state of the conference, there's no guarantee they'll be there again anytime soon.
But if Manning does transform Wake Forest, if he does prove himself capable of winning on college basketball's highest platform and starts knocking off the blue bloods, then there'll likely be a North Carolina coach leaving for his home in Kansas.

The Apartment Guide is back to give you more tips on living with roommates and searching
By Dani Brady
dbrady@kansan.com
The Apartment Guide is back to give you more tips on living with roommates and searching for the perfect apartment. It is the busiest time of year to be house hunting because the weather is getting warmer and many leases are coming to an end in a few short months. Instead of crashing on a friend's couch or living in a place that doesn't feel quite like home, begin your research early and make sure that you'll love your new house or apartment.
Our roommates are usually the people we end up spending the most time with, so we want to make sure we are choosing people that we will enjoy being around. To do this, it's important to consider things like schedules, expenses and personal hygiene. After deciding on who you're going to live with, our article about taking noise and location into consideration can help you pick the perfect place. Living near parks and quiet areas can make a huge difference when choosing a location.
Landlords are beginning to feel an overwhelming increase in housing contracts and applications because like many college students, we have mastered the art of procrastination. Start thinking about your new place and then read our article about how to choose and what to consider when picking new roommates.
Living with roommates, housemates or floor mates is something that every college student should experience. We have all heard horror stories about crazy roommates, but if you take your time deciding who to live with and learning to be a considerate roommate, it's an experience you will never want to forget.
Luckily, the University Daily Kansan Advertising Staff will be hosting an Apartment Fest on April 10 to help students become knowledgeable about all of the housing options available to them. I advise you to start thinking about your new place if you haven't already because looking for your next apartment or house is never an easy task.

Find out about your potential roommates before moving in
HOUSING
CORRINE DORRIAN entertain@kansan.com
Before making the big decision to move in together, it's always essential to cover important topics to avoid future conflicts. Everyone has their own opinions when it comes to finances, significant others, personal habits or lifestyles. It's important to discuss those things with potential roommates.
According to an article by Dawn Allcot from MyMove.com, "considerations like whether they can afford the rent and utilities and if your prospective roommates seem responsible come first. But take some time during the roommate search to ask about their personal hobbies and interests and make small talk to get to know them better."
Ryan Soroka, a senior from St. Louis, currently lives in a house with three other roommates. Two of them met through the dorms and he knew the third roommate from high school.
They planned out paying for bills to avoid conflicts in the future.
"We all pick one utility and spread the utilities around." Soroka said. "We split it up down the line evenly and then we have to pay the roommate so it's our responsibility to get the money to pay for it."
He said that the best advice he can give about potential roommates is to know how busy they are and how busy they expect to be in the future.
Allot also mentions asking your potential roommates financial questions, such as how long they have worked at their current job and what their other expenses will be. Also, consider how much the expenses at the apartment you seek will cost each person.
Andrew Melchor, a junior from Chino, Calif., currently lives in an apartment with his girlfriend, but he lived with two other guys last year. "We didn't have arguments, really, about bills, because at the start we had an understanding of splitting everything." Melchor said. "The guys $^{1}$
moved in with lived with each other before and they had problems with each person just taking a particular bill. There was this inequality that formed and they would get into small arguments among each other with that. So when I came in, we just decided to split everything right down the middle and it it worked that way."
His one piece of advice is to really analyze your priorities and align those with your future roommates.
Allcat also thinks that roommates should add personal and lifestyle questions to the conversation. Ask potential roommates what their relationship status is and how that will affect life in your shared home. Personal questions, such as do they smoke, drink or do drugs, might be beneficial to ask. Let them ask you questions, too.
Although it is common for small conflicts to arise among roommates, you may just get lucky and be paired with some great roommates. Emily Harsh, a senior from Topeka, has been paired

Hanging up hand-made art to save money is one to decorate your walls without violating your lease agreement.
Improve home decor with color, creativity
MIN-SEON KIM
entertain@kansan.com
When living in a college apartment, painting the walls to brighten up your place isn't always an option because of lease agreements. An alternative is adding a pop of color with different decorations, such as curtains, frames and blanket throws. When living in dorms and apartments, you have to think outside the box when trying to inexpensively brighten up rooms.
Maggie Houston, a junior from Overland Park understands decorating can be overwhelming, but suggests starting simple.
"Expand upon what you already have," Houston said. "If you have something that's kind of dated, add something that isn't dated to it."
Stefany Christie, a freshman from Stockton, Mo., agrees with keeping it simple, while also adding some personality.
"Go for something personal and that's you," Christie said. "I printed out the pictures I had on Facebook and Instagram at Walmart and taped them up on the wall. A few pictures of you and your family and friends will make it feel more like home."
When buying items for your apartment, don't be afraid to buy a few key pieces that add a pop of color.
Houston has red and gold pillows and blanket
Students should not only purchase multicolored lamps, frames and curtains, but also be crafty and make their own decorations. Houston has a large world map from OfficeMax, which added to her room nicely.
throws in her room. Laura Spatz, a freshman from Lee's Summit, Mo., has green curtains, yellow sheets and a pink footrest in hers. Color blocking has become a huge trend on the runway, so why not in apartments as well?
Spatz adds her own personal touches.
"I add color to my blank walls by putting up colorful do-it-yourself posters," she said. "You can get a pack of construction paper and make anything"
Spatz hit arts and craft stores to get decorative items.
I buy inexpensive fabric from Walmart and Michaels to make vibrant blankets or curtains," she said. "They sometimes have big discounts on fabric and craft items like picture frames. I mostly get things I found funny at thrift stores so when I look around my room, I will have an actual memory that goes along with."
"Don't shut out any colors by picking a certain theme," she said. "More colors in a room equals more fun."
Spatz encourages students to add color and personality to their rooms.

WELL-BEING
Healthy lifestyles in reach for college students
CHERILYN FARRIS
entertain@kansan.com
entertain@kansan.com
A healthy lifestyle does not transpire overnight, it requires commitment and planning. However, there are certain aspects that can make healthy living a little easier. People commonly think about diet and exercise when they hear the word "healthy" and although those are very important, other decisions also contribute to well-rounded living.
GET OUTSIDE
The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department oversees a park system that includes 54 parks, half of which are community parks and nature preserves, according to the City of Lawrence website. Many of these community parks and nature preserves have walking/biking trails that are inhabited by native vegetation, creating a lovely atmosphere to get some fresh air and a variety of sport courts for some outdoor activities.
Kelsey Fortin, a health educator in charge of the Eat Well Live Nutrition Program at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that living near a recreation center or outdoor trail creates less barriers for people to fit in physical activity.
"If these things aren't around or are more difficult to locate, then people may be less inclined to use the facility." Fortin said.
It seems like not many students plan their living arrangements around local parks and trails or whether there is a recreation center close by, yet many still make it to them. Katie Russell, a junior studying social welfare, favors South Park on Massachusetts Street, especially when the weather is nice.

EATING HEALTHY
Getting the right nutrition and maintaining a stable diet is always a challenge in cities where unhealthy food is available during the wee hours of the night. Luckily, here in Lawrence, there are a handful of natural grocers and other healthier options. Russell chooses to shop at the Merc—a
natural grocery store where she buys fresh fruits and vegetables. Living near a health food store has influenced her nutrition choices.
['I'm] more likely to stop by a close, healthier atmosphere than drive farther to go to Walmart," Russell said. "Also, everything in a health store is focused around personal health so it is motivating."
Planning out a grocery list and only purchasing healthier options is a smart way to curb any negative snacking habits, making these small changes will be beneficial in the long run. Joey Maase, a junior studying exercise science, plans ahead for his meals by always making enough to have leftovers. He can just warm up the meals that are healthy versus eating snack food or something that does not cover the nutrition he is aiming for. Maase said his meals typically consist of high protein, low carbs and some fruits and vegetables, but college life makes it hard to be consistent. It is not always easy to be healthy

and a little bit of leeway won't ruin an entire diet. Fortin recommends using the website, My- Plate.gov — used by the USDA — to help make dietary decisions.
"There are a couple key messages behind this graphic — making half your plate fruits and vegetables, switching to low fat or fat-free dairy and making at least half of your grains whole grains," Fortin said.
Fortin also said that students should work to surround themselves with healthier options. Small changes, including choosing whole grains instead of refined, or choosing frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, can make a huge difference.
EXERCISE
Planning ahead is not essential forever, but when trying to build a routine or reach a goal it is important to helping you stay on track.
"Once the steps are taken to plan out weekly meals and weekly workouts it will slowly get built into a routine, which will translate to a lifestyle change," Fortin said.
Activity levels change when students come to college; many stop playing sports or don't make enough time to get in a little exercise. Russell plans out which days of the week she can make it to the recreation center because she is more likely to work out if it is in her schedule. Maase, on the other hand, doesn't plan working out from week to week, but does prefer to work out in the mornings just in case he gets too tired or busy at the end of the day.
"Nutrition and physical activity work together when it comes to staying healthy." Fortin said.
Nutrition and physical activity work together when it comes to staying healthy." Fortin said.
In addition to diet and exercise, keeping your environment clean will help your health. Over-exposure to harsh chemicals and everyday germs can inhibit any nutrition and exercise goals if you are not aware. Being healthy is truly a lifestyle choice because everything you do attributes to it.

Noise from neighbors is a popular complaint among college students. Make sure to look at all options before making a final decision on a living arrangement.
Consider noise when choosing living location
DANI BRADY

entertain@kansan.com
Living in a town full of college students can mean that hearing loud music or seeing a house party during the week is no surprise. The noise factor can increase during the weekends, so finding a quiet night to stay in can be harder than you think. When searching for a house or an apartment, it is important to remember that living next to a loud bar or a group of rowdy college students is never an ideal situation.
Mary Fortino, a sophomore from Overland Park, currently lives at Legends Place located by Clinton Parkway and Crossgate Drive. Fortino enjoys where she lives, but wishes she would have considered noise when moving.
"It's usually the loudest on the weekends because that's when they have all the parties," Fortino said. "Sometimes I call the Legends office and file a noise complaint or I just try to ignore it."
Ignoring a group of rambunctious college students having a wild night can be difficult if you're living next door or just down the hall. Investing in a quality pair of headphones to tune out the partiers or contacting management, like Fortino did, are both good options when trying to control the problem.
If you are the students hosting these noisy gatherings, you need to remember to be considerate of your neighbors. Having a party on Wednesday and Thursday night may be fun for those attending, but it can be very distracting for your neighbors who are attempting to study or relax. Although students do go out on the weekends, Lawrence laws about noise complaints do not exclude Friday and Saturday nights.
The Lawrence Police Department tries to decrease the amount of excessive and unnecessary noises with several ordinances that must be followed by all residents. An example of one ordinance involves playing loud music from your vehicle.
According to police.lawrenceks.org, ordinance 17-116.1 states, "No person or persons operating or occupying a motor vehicle on any street, highway, alley, parking lot or driveway shall operate or permit the operation of any sound amplification system from within or upon the vehicle so that the sound is audible at a distance of fifty (50) feet or more from the vehicle."
A violation of the ordinance above can result in a traffic ticket with a minimum fine of $80.
Residence halls on campus are a good alternative if you like a quiet space because they enforce quiet hours each night.
Max Rich, a freshman from Chicago, says that living in the residence halls hasn't been as loud as he thought it would be.
"I think it starts to get loud on Wednesday nights," Rich said. "I can get most of my work done in my dorm Sunday to Tuesday, but when Wednesday comes I usually go to the library if I need to get something done."
As you begin the search for your next house or apartment, keep noise in mind. It is easy to avoid busy streets, large apartment complexes and roads with attractions like bars and restaurants if you do some research. Ask around to see which apartments hold the most parties so you can find a quiet and relaxing place that you can call home.

When it comes to house and apartment hunting, may the odds be ever in your favor. The equivalent of Lawrence's own Hunger Games, finding a place to live, brings out some fierce competition. With available houses disappearing day by day, many students overlook the idea of apartment living.
However, when it comes to finding roommates and signing leases, it can be easy to get overwhelmed, especially with the abundance of information and fine print.
Apartment Fest, sponsored by the University Daily Kansan Advertising Staff, provides an opportunity for KU students to see all the living spaces available to them.
Ten to 15 apartment complexes are scheduled to table on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint, and plan to hand out T-shirts, cups, koozies and other promotional materials.
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
Make sure to check out the parking situation, including fees, location and availability.
Find out the policy on pets. Are they pet friendly? Does the rent increase with the addition of a pet on your property? Even if you aren't planning on bringing a pet with you, keep in mind that other pet owners in your area could generate a lot of extra noise.
Terms and conditions are often subject to change. Depending on move-in specials and the length of leases, rent prices can often fluctuate more than you expected.
The event is all day April 10 on the Stauffer-Flint lawn.

Ground rules needed when sharing common areas
entertain@kansan.com
LAUREN ANGLEY
Sharing a living space with someone is something that many of us have or will have to experience in the future. Whether you are sharing your room with a sibling or cramming into a dorm room, it is important to be respectful and aware of everyone's feelings involved.
When living with another person, it is essential to remember that you share the space. Nobody wants to see the sink piled with dishes or smell week-old garbage. However, asking your roommates to clean up after themselves is easier said than done.
we keep a chart on the fridge with different tasks that we all have to do. Stuff like doing dishes and vacuuming," said Emily Philbin, a junior from Omaha, Neb. "It makes it easier so we don't have to fight over who hasn't taken out the trash."
Cleaning up after a night with friends is never an enjoyable chore. Always remember to be thoughtful of every member and let him or her know beforehand when you plan on having guests over. Most importantly, don't leave last night's cans and empty pizza boxes lying around to remind both you and your roommates of last
night's escapades.
"I try to clean up any mess I made the following morning, my roommates are pretty good at keeping the house clean," said Grace Jones, a junior from Chicago.
Communication between everyone involved will resolve almost any issue. When an issue arises, and it will, always speak to your roommate directly; it never helps to talk behind someone's back. Upon moving in, all roommates need to come to an agreement on a standard of cleanliness that everyone will follow. Your idea of a clean room isn't necessarily everyone else's. Compromise is critical when living with others, and in the long run it will prevent future arguments.
"We all share responsibilities, and for the most part we are pretty good at it. Sometimes we'll get mad at each other for not cleaning up, but never for long." Philbin said.
Some questions to consider when moving in: Who cleans the bathroom, and when? What are the rules for having a guest spend the night? And what happens when a roommate breaks these rules?

The Hawk Navy hopes to raise about $400 from the latest fundraiser. Participants can register by email at HawkNavyKU@gmail.com, and games cost $5 for GoldenEye 007 and $10 for Super Smash Bros Brawl and League of Legends.
"Being out in the water, catching a good wind, nothing quite compares to it. It's pretty awesome," Kaplan said.
For now, the club members eagerly await the day to go sailing in their own boats and compete in local sailing competitions.

Be honest when people overstay their welcome
MADISCHULZ

If a guest overstays their welcome, it's important to be honest with your roommate about the situation.
Amy and Jessica are best friends who decided to rent an apartment together, and living together has been great. Jessica's boyfriend, Brad, occasionally stays the night, and until recently it was never an issue. But something has changed. Brad has been living at the apartment for a week now and he is starting to get a little too comfortable. Amy doesn't want to offend Jessica because she is her best friend, but she also can't keep living like this.
if he's here occasionally, but sometimes I need my privacy."
Honesty is a very important factor in communicating problems. Beating around the bush or not saying exactly what the problem is will result in a solution that is less than satisfactory.
Another factor that can be a sensitive subject, but is an important point to bring up, is the monetary aspect of the problem.
The names have been changed to protect their privacy, but regardless, this situation is one that some University students can find relatable. Sometimes, roommates can get a little too comfortable with each other and do not know when to draw the line when it comes to significant others.
"I would just be honest in that situation," said Blake Bullock, a freshman from Wichita. "I would tell my roommate that of course it's fine
"One thing that you might be able to say if you are trying to make a point of why her boyfriend can't just live with you is that he is essentially living in your apartment for free while you and your roommate are paying for it, which isn't really fair," said Anna Stumps, a freshman from Tulsa, Okla.

will your recommend the situation
An article in Psychology Today called "Simple Keys to Effective Communication" gives a few tips for effective communication that can help with solving problems and finding solutions. It is suggested to maintain eye contact, make sure the message is clear, use appropriate body language and nod to make sure the speaker knows
you are listening. These may seem like obvious tips, but they can prevent unwanted problems when talking to your roommate.
Ultimately, when dealing with friends and roommates, and this situation in particular,
honesty is the best policy. Being open to suggestions and compromise is also important. With this in mind, most problems can be fixed without drama.

biggest — stage in college basketball. The one-time North Carolina native will have his opportunity to march into Cameron Indoor Stadium and the Dean Dome and prove that not only was he one of the game's top players, he's one of the top coaches, too.
That's not to say that he'll succeed though. There are numerous reasons why Manning could fail. In the past 10 years the Demon Deacons have placed higher than fifth in the ACC just twice (2005, 2009) and given the current state of the conference, there's no guarantee they'll be there again anytime soon.
But if Manning does transform Wake Forest, if he does prove himself capable of winning on college basketball's highest platform and starts knocking off the blue bloods, then there'll likely be a North Carolina coach leaving for his home in Kansas.

And how perfect would that be.
One of these historic outings came from senior Natalie Becker, who traveled with the rest of the Jayhawk distance runners to Palo Alto, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational. Becker completed the 5,000 meter race in 16:20.80, which not only earned her a 19th place finish in a stacked field of competition, but it etched her name into the Kansas record books as the fastest 5,000-meter runner in school history. Becker's record-breaking performance also moved her into the top 25 in the NCAA rankings.
Meanwhile in Baton Rouge, La., the rest of the Jayhawk track and field team was competing at the Battle on the Bayou, also producing performances that stacked up with the best in school history, Sophomore Rhawean King turned in one of these performances in the 800 meters. The Memphis, Penn., native crossed the finish line in
also turned in a time to member, finishing the race in 44.67. The time gave the quartet a third place finish in the event and also made them the sixth-fastest in school history.
There were a total of 15 performances in Louisiana that cracked the NCAA West Region top 25, which ultimately gave the Jayhawk women's team a second place team finish, and the men a third place team finish. According to junior multi-event specialist Lindsay Vollmer, the slew of good performances over the weekend show the potential the team has this outdoor season.
"We didn't get everybody we wanted to nationals [for the indoor season], but I think we're a better outdoor team," Vollmer said. "If we can just continue to build, I think we have a shot to do some good things."

Open forum reveals big plans for parking
JENNIFER SALVA news@kansan.com
"Why did Daisy Hill construction start before dorms closed for the summer?" was one of the key questions brought up Monday afternoon at the Parking Open Forum held by KU Parking and Transit in the Big XII room of the Kansas Union.
Director of Student Housing Diana Robertson said that the construction was originally scheduled to begin in the summer as soon as commencement was over. When the department hired a contractor in January, they learned that the project was much more significant and additional time was required. This meant construction preparation had to begin over spring break instead.
"That would be the easiest time for them to get in there, get the fences up, and they would begin construction soon thereafter," Robertson said. "The problem with it this spring is that the spaces were there, students were used to
that, and then it kind of got pulled back."
Pavement milling, or demolition of existing material on the lot, did not begin until last week due to delays in obtaining permits, according to Robertson.
The KU Parking and Transit Office is offering students whose permits are affected by this construction four options to cope with limited parking spaces:
reimbursement of permit cost to cover the differential of switching to a Park & Ride permit, or eliminating car use altogether.
new proposals that seek to limit overselling of permits are approved by the Parking Commission at next Monday's meeting.
Nick Strange, a freshman from Osceola, Mo., who lives in Hashinger Hall expressed his frustration with finding a spot to park in the residence
Currently, residence halls and other parking lots use what is known as a "hunting permit." This means that a permit holder pays for the chance to "hunt"
1. Sections D and E in the Lied Center parking lot, and the gravel lot north of section E, are now approved for the Daisy Hill parking permit
"I flipped [my car] twice on K-10 ... and one of the first thoughts that went through my head was, 'Wow. This is still better than trying to find a spot on Daisy Hill.'"
NICK STRANGE Freshman from Osceola, Mo.
2. An offer to trade 50 Daisy Hill permits for Stauffer Place permits.
KU Parking and Transit is also offering a one to two month
3. KU Endowment has granted use of the vacant lot south of Stewart Avenue to Daisy Hill permit-holders. There are about 50 available spaces in that lot.
4. 10 parking meters have been removed from lots 101- 104 (the Daisy Hill parking lots).
halls even before construction started.
"I totaled my car driving up to campus early to try to get a spot," Strange said. "I flipped it twice on K-10, was hanging by the seatbelt, and one of the first thoughts that went through my head was, 'Wow. This is still better than trying to find a spot on Daisy Hill'"
According to the Parking and Transit office, this will not be as big of a problem if
for a spot. Since more permits are sold than the number of physical spots, drivers may not be able to find a place to park.
"In a student lot, there is an acceptable percentage of oversell," said Donna Hultine, director of parking. "I think 15 percent is sort of an industry wide standard of what's okay."
This type of permit sale can work because not every permit holder will park in their designated lot at the same time.
KU Parking and Transit plans to do simulations to see what percentage of oversell would be functional.
Hultine says that exact permit sales would be more feasible in residential lots.
"It's more likely that every person shows up in their space, so I think it is important not to oversell that," Hultine said. "I think it's more realistic to do that with residence hall parking than commuter student parking, because we know all of those students are going to be there at the same time."
Other changes students, faculty and staff can expect in coming years include: elimination of unutilized handicapped parking spaces that exceed accessibility requirements, an expansion of Jayhawk Boulevard and Memorial Drive which will feature only south-facing parking instead of parking on both sides of the street and repairs and reconstruction of failed lots.
Those repairs and reconstructions are necessary for continued use of parking
iots, but are also pricey; estimates stand at over 15 million dollars for all the current repairs, according to Hultine. In order to fix the lots, the Parking and Transit office will need to increase revenue, which is currently generated from parking tickets, athletic event parking, toll parking, garage parking and parking permits.
Depending on the outcome of next Monday's Parking Commission meeting, students may need to plan for small increases in the price of parking permits.
"We've recently had some increases in visitor hourly parking rates," Hultine said. "And that leads us to look at what we can do with parking permits."
Students wishing to seek reimbursement for their parking permit due to construction on Daisy Hill are asked to contact the Parking and Transit Office at 785-864-7275, or kupark@ku.edu.

Hawk Navy hosts game night to fundraise for boats
YU KYUNG LEE news@kansan.com
Tying knots over maple bacon donuts — it's a typical meeting for the Hawk Navy, the Naval ROTC's sailing club.
But before any knots, the first thing on the agenda was video games — Super Smash Bros Brawl and League of Legends as well as the classic GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64.
It's for the upcoming video game tournament this Saturday, a fundraising event for the sailing club. The club exclusively financed by fundraisers, is trying to raise enough money to purchase three boats.
"We want boats to call our own, under our own control, instead of working with people who already had boats," said Kyle Kaplan, sophomore naval ROTC officer candidate, from Wildwood, Fla.
While the club has been borrowing boats from the KU Sailing Club, the Hawk Navy has been fundraising all year to become more independent.
Unlike KU Sailing Club, the Hawk Navy has a more military-oriented approach.
focusing more on knot-tying, ship handling and rules-of-the-road.
The KU sailing club is more recreational sailing, said Reston Bishop, a senior Officer Candidate of the naval ROTC from St. Louis, Mo. He is the president of Hawk Navy.
"Once we purchase the boat .. We can enjoy sailing or other things we want to do in the off months."

"It's nice when our freshmen get here, they are kind of scared to go out and do anything, their lives are more strict than other college students, being in the ROTC, and so it gives them a fun activity to do on the weekends in a relatively safe environment," Bishop said.

"There's definitely some pains in getting going, but, after first semester, we've been very successful this semester with the things that we launched, and I figure that will only continue to improve with the video game tournament," Bishop said. "Once we purchase the boat, we won't have to fundraise at such a high level. We can enjoy sailing or other things we want to do in the off months."
to raise a total of $2,000 to buy the boats.

For now, the club members eagerly await the day to go sailing in their own boats and compete in local sailing competitions.

Student earns prestigious national scholarship

news@kansan.com
When sophomore Joe Lilik discovered he had won a national scholarship,he originally thought it might have been a joke.
"I was notified on April Fool's Day, actually, which made me think a little bit about it," he said, "but I figured they wouldn't be that mean." Lilik, an atmospheric science major from Bethesda, Md., was selected as a recipient of a national scholarship from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Joe Lilik, a sophomore from Bethesda, Md., recieved a scholarship from NOAA, which is a two-year tuition and internship scholarship.
experience.
NOAAs' Ernest F. Hollins Scholarship is a two-year tuition and internship scholarship. Lilik explained that, out of approximately 900 applicants across the nation, about 100 are chosen to receive the scholarship.
Recipients receive $8,000 a year towards tuition, as well as a 10-week internship position at a NOAA facility, for which recipients are paid $650 a week. The scholarship also includes travel funds for a mandatory NOAA scholarship orientation in May and conferences where students present a paper or poster, as well as a housing subsidy for recipients who will not live at home during their internship
The first notification Lilik received that he was a scholarship finalist on March 18. After sending his official transcript to NOAA, Lilik had to wait until April to receive the decision that he had been selected as a scholarship winner. "I immediately called home. I was ecstatic," he said. "It's really one of the biggest things I've ever been accepted to, ever done — I mean, it's a national scholarship."
A NOAA mentor will be assigned to Lilik between August and September of this year. This mentor will help him design an internship opportunity for the summer of 2015. Lilik said that, because NOAA has facilities all over the country, he has not yet decided where he would like to have his internship.
The application for the NOAA scholarship was a standard application. Lilik said that it was very similar to the Common Application that many universities use. For him, the most difficult part
"I've got a lot of different interests," he said. "I know the earth science research laboratory is in Boulder, Colorado, and I'm really interested in that one. But [NOAA] has laboratories all over the country that work on different things, so it could be anywhere."
was crafting a personal statement.
"It was a big essay to write," he said. "You try to pack yourself into 1,200 words and get the message you want to get out about yourself. There was a minimum length too, and sometimes I felt like 1 kind of rambled. You want every sentence to be really effective in advocating for yourself."
Dr. Michael Vitevitch, Lilik's Honors advisor, helped him in writing his personal statement. Vitevitch, who is the Senior Associate Director and Honors Faculty Fellow for Research, also wrote a letter of recommendation for Lilik.
“[Lilik] is really laid-back and unassuming,” Vitevitch described. “When you start to talk to him, you see that he has a really quick wit. You get very quickly that he's very sharp. He's got self-confidence and he was willing to take the chance and apply. That willingness to take a risk paid off. This could open up a lot of doors for him.” Dr. David Rahm, an assistant professor of geography, was another faculty member who wrote a letter of recommendation for Lilik. Lilik was a student in two of Rahn's classes.
"He is very inquisitive, so there's a lot of stuff he's very interested in," Rahn said. "He's not afraid to ask the right questions. He's done a lot of
good work in class. He has a worldly view already—he has an open mind."
Climate change is what drew Lilik to an atmospheric science major in the first place. "I've always just had a fascination with weather and climate. Climate change is a really interesting thing to me. It's something that really needs to be addressed. The field's only going to be growing as time goes by."
Lilik is also minoring in theater, which he hopes will continue to play a role in his future. "["Theater] is a big part of my interests," he said. "I'm somebody who wants to use theater in a way that can improve the messaging of science, specifically around climate change. And something
I'm doing on that is approaching the end of the semester, I'm directing a reading of a play that deals with climate change."
As a recipient of the NOAA scholarship, Lilik said that he will continue to explore his career options. "I'm hoping that through the scholarship, I can find a more specific career interest," he explained. "But atmospheric science includes people that study climate change, that predict weather, study air pollution. I don't want to be a weatherman--that's about as much as I know."

KU conference to discuss energy trends
DALTON KINGERY
news@kansan.com
The national discourse on energy usage is often politically charged, making it nearly impossible to take an objective stance. However, the KU Energy Club, at their fourth annual KU Energy Conference, wants to answer a variety of questions related to energy on a state and national level in an open discussion.
Today, from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom, students, educators and energy industry leaders will gather to discuss the latest energy trends.
Keaton Arnold, vice president of KU Energy Club, said the club seeks to use the conference to answer some of the questions that surround energy production, specifically questions about domestic oil and gas production, wind energy and U.S. energy independence.
"Why is energy independence something America wants, and can we actually achieve it?" Arnold said. "And if so, how soon?"
Jay Hakes, author of "A Declaration of Energy Independence" and noted authority on energy, will serve as the conference's keynote speaker. Industry leaders and political figures such as Black & Veatch Vice President Gary Hart and Representative Dennis Hedke will participate in panel discussions.
Kansas' role in the domestic energy industry is changing, and will be a hot topic at the conference, Arnold said. As new drilling techniques have been implemented over the past decade, Kansas' reputation as a serious producer of oil and gas has grown. According to the Energy Information Administration, Kansas ranks 10th among states in crude oil production as of March 27, 2014.
In addition to the club's goal of raising awareness of energy independence and Kansas' rising status as a producer of crude oil, the conference will serve as an important networking opportunity for both students and industry professionals.
"We're trying to connect energy and Kansas," Arnold said. "A big part of the conference is being able to interact with the industry professionals attending the event."
Katie Rowe, a drilling engineer for the Occidental Petroleum Corporation, said professionals within the energy industry think events like the conference are vital for educating students and young people.
"Energy is connected to everything, and many energy companies are hiring students from majors that they haven't before," said David Gelvin, president of the KU Energy Club.
Club representatives agreed
that students from all majors and schools can benefit from attending the conference. Gelvin said many natural gas companies are now hiring psychology majors to analyze consumer perceptions of natural gas usage.
"This conference brings different perspectives together," Rowe said. "We as young people have the power to make the changes. The future of energy is in our hands, and we need to take action now."

Student-run radio station wins 24 broadcasting awards
MADDIE FARBER
news@kansan.com
University students working for KJHK, the student-run radio station at the University of Kansas, are "bringing home the blue" this month after receiving 24 broadcasting awards from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters.
the Kansas Association of Broadcasters organizes the 2014 Student Broadcasting Awards. The contest is statewide and recognizes exceptional student work in various
different categories. Student radio and television stations submit the entries.
KJHK students received more awards than any other university media outlet in the state. The awards included undergraduate radio news, sports coverage, graduate radio programming, and the station's website, kjhk.org.
Roderick Baugh, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., was one of the four recipients for the radio show "The Jayhawk Zone" which won the best college sportscast award.
Baugh explained that KJHK represented the University of Kansas in the competition. They competed against other schools like K-State, Fort Hays State University, and Johnson County Community College for the awards.
"It was such a cool experience to go out to Salina and be recognized by many accomplished people in radio," Baugh said. "Hopefully this helps me
Lucas Homer, the station manager at KJHK, expressed his excitement for the recent awards.
"We got first place in the entire state. It's so cool to be affiliated with a show that people think is the best," he said.
"We brand ourselves as a digital media outlet other than just a radio station. We've done a lot of hard work in those areas and we're getting a lot of recognition for that," he said. "We're unique because we are completely student run. Anything you hear on the air is produced by a student. We have so many different genres
and are constantly trying to do better."
springboard with what I want to do in the future with radio."
Margaret Hair, Program coordinator at KJHK, agreed that the recognition has been good for the students working for KJHK.
"There is a lot of room for creativity and to try out new ideas here. Students are constantly learning new skills and getting recognition for that," she said.
"It's a validation that none of these awards would have happened without the people who have worked hard to get
us here," Homer said. "These awards present a nice challenge for future staff to maintain the level of growth we have achieved"
In 2013, Homer won first place in the Graduate Radio Station Promotional Activity category for the 2013 KJHK Farmer's Ball, a local battle of the bands. The event, sponsored by KJHK and Student Union Activities, will take place on April 19, at the Bottleneck.

Recently an article from Wall Street Insanity, "50 things every woman should realize about men," blew up all over my Facebook newsfeed. Chuck Henderson, the writer, lists things women should do and accept, no questions asked. I read the article thinking it would be more humorous than it really was, but after reading it I was left feeling disgusted and highly offended.
The list included "he's not as complicated as you are," "you should always take his side," "if you make him watch a chick flick, at least give him a blowjob afterwards (sic)" and "you've got to watch your weight." There were several others that made me laugh out loud, not because they were funny, but because of how completely idiotic Henderson sounds.
By Cecilia Cho
opinion@kansan.com
The fact that Henderson assumes all guys have this same mindset is completely ridiculous, and I love how he assumes these "problems" are something only men have to deal with. Basically 90 percent of the things on Henderson's list apply to men and women. For instance, men can be equally as complicated as women. He proceeded to say that when men have their simple, uncomplicated thoughts, women should not assume that women are deeper or smarter than men are.
Oh, of course women shouldn't assume they could be smarter than men
because men are obviously the dominant figures who know the answer to everything. It would be absolutely preposterous to assume that a female could be smarter than a male.
Moving on, Henderson talks about how women should always take the man's side no matter what, especially if it is in public. If I don't agree with a guy about something, I'm not going to "take his side," publicly or privately. I'm not going to dumb myself down, or disregard my beliefs just to make a guy feel better about himself. If that offends a guy to the point he will hold a grudge about it in the future, then he obviously isn't worth the time or effort.
The point that bothered me the most was about guys watching chick flicks, which suggested that women should reward their significant other with sexual favors every time they watch one. First of all, men should never expect anything like that from a woman in any situation. Men need to have more respect for their women, and women need to respect their men, too. It doesn't mean that sexual favors have to be owed just for watching a silly movie.
A lot of the things on the list were extremely degrading to women. He basically tells women to disregard any sort of self-respect they have for themselves and bow down to the man.
What was particularly shocking to me was that the majority of people sharing this article on Facebook were women. If we are suggesting to other women and men that these expectations are OK, then we are going backward, not moving forward.
Women have faced a lot of oppression in the past and still do today. We still have men, such as Henderson, subjecting women this way and thinking it's OK, and it's because we have people agreeing with him. This should be something we are fighting against, not sharing.
When women agree with these ludicrous ideas, what is stopping men from treating all women this way? I won't take a guy's side when they are wrong. I won't reward a guy for watching a chick flick with me and if I want to skip the gym for a week, month, or even a year, I will because I respect myself enough to not be with a man who holds me up to a ridiculous standard.

No one characteristic determines ethnicity
"You aren't Hispanic?" "No. I'm black."
"But you're not Hispanic?" The woman cut me off.
I turned and looked at her staring figure.
"No," I said, "I don't think so."
This has been a recurring conversation in my life. I've been asked if I'm Hispanic, Caucasian and even Brazilian. Rarely am I considered black, even by other blacks in the United States. I find this interesting and have spent time staring at my eyes, nose and skin tone in the mirror. I mainly identify as black or African American, but at the same time, I consider myself multiracial. What do people see that makes them question my African ancestry? Or the ancestry of others?
This leads to a growing question within the U.S.: What exactly makes up a person's ethnicity? In certain cases, phenotype is a big factor. Those with light complexions are often identified as Latino, mixed, or Caucasian. Those with darker skin are identified as more African.
Language is another key factor. There have been numerous incidents at work that I've been spoken to in Spanish. I respond back in Spanish and this reconfirms to the person that I'm Latina.
Unless I say I'm black, the person doesn't know. If someone spoke in an African language, I wouldn't understand a single word. So does this make me less African? Some say yes, others no.
Ancestry is a huge factor as well. Usually where your ancestors are from determines your ethnicity, which is fine for those who only claim one ancestor. What about those who have ancestors from more than one country and therefore claim several ethnicities? As a child, I was puzzled over how to identify myself for school tests because of my family's mixed background of African, Native American and European descent.
I remember asking my mother about it. Her response had been to put black or
By Crystal Bradshaw opinion@kansan.com
African American. She explained that black was the ethnicity that my family most associated with. I learned very quickly that though my family associated themselves with African ancestry, others did not.
According to Benjamin Bailey's article "Dominican-American Ethnic/Racial Identities and Social Categories," "Race based on 'one drop' or 'hypodescent' rules has historically been pre-eminent criterion for social organization in the United States, preceding national, ethnic and religious allegations." The "one drop" rule, according to PBS Frontline, is "that a single drop of 'black blood' makes a person a black." This "rule" is now shifting due to interracial marriages and immigration.
So the question is: What are we? Do we identify by our phenotype or our ancestry? A conclusion I've been pondering is that we are all multiracial, meaning everyone has intermixed blood regardless of our phenotypes. With some, such as my family, it's more physically apparent, but inside, everyone's DNA has pieces of generations of interaction between various races.
Racial identification will only become more complex, not simpler in the future. Therefore, who we are will be a continual debate. But what we can never allow to enter into debate is our humanity. Regardless of our phenotype or ethnicity, we are all human and that is what truly bonds us all together.

Taco Bell recently released its breakfast menu to compete with other fast food morning favorites.
The battle for breakfast: Taco Bell's morning menu
.
ERIKA REALS
entertain@kansan.com
Taco Bell entered the fast food breakfast market, and thus the battle between the breakfasts began. Taco Bell and McDonald's, its major competitor, have ignited an advertising war that's targeting college students and young on-the-go professionals, according to Advertising Age.
customers through April 13.
The Mexican fast food chain launched its new breakfast campaign March 27 after testing the menu in several cities since 2012. The menu offers many choices, including the A.M. Crunchwrap, A.M. Grilled Taco, Cinnabon Delights, Waffle Taco and Breakfast Burrito. In response to Taco Bell's breakfast campaign, McDonald's is giving out free coffee to
"I've seen the Taco Bell ads with the Ronald McDonalds, and I thought they were pretty good," said Logan Brull, a senior from Shawnee. "[The ads] mention how it's quick and easy. I think they focused on professionals on their way to work more than targeting college students."
Brull said he ordered one of each breakfast menu item at Taco Bell. Out of all the items, only the A.M. Crunchwrap played up to his expectations.
Despite Taco Bell's biggest marketing campaign in the company's history, junior marketing student Scott Southern said he prefers McDonald's breakfast after testing Taco Bell's breakfast menu.
"I decided to give Taco Bell breakfast a try and ordered a Waffle Taco, which looked nothing like what it's advertised as and was very dry and bland." Southern said. "The eggs didn't even look like eggs."
According to Taco Bell President Brian Niccol, the marketing campaign is supposed to attract customers to what is "the most innovative breakfast menu on the market." Although Taco Bell's breakfast menu is different than what other fast food chains offer, not everyone prefers it.
"After having the Taco Bell breakfast once, I would probably stick with the McDonald's breakfast, because it's more of a traditional breakfast style than the A.M. Crunchwrap and Waffle Taco," Brull said.

Kiss' animosity toward Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will continue long after induction
NEW YORK — You knew Kiss would not go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame quietly.
The band and its army of fans have long complained that one of rock's biggest moneymakers has had to wait to enter the Rock Hall. So now that the band is actually being welcomed into the institution after 15 years of eligibility, did anyone expect the bad blood among its original members and between the group and the Rock Hall to magically disappear? Yeah, right.
"All the credible bands can kiss my (expletive), with all due respect," Kiss' Gene Simmons told
Rolling Stone.
Rock Hall organizers declined to let that lineup play.
And the animosity will likely continue long after Thursday night's induction at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Kiss does not plan to perform at the ceremony because the band's current members, Simmons and Paul Stanley, did not want to play with former members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, also set to be inducted. Simmons and Stanley wanted to perform with current guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer.
"From our standpoint, Kiss is the four original members," said the Hall of Fame Foundation CEO Joel Peresman. "Those four guys started something that inspired a lot of people ... Those other two guys are playing the roles of Ace and Peter.
They are wearing the same make- up."
Peresman said there are no plans to have other musicians pay tribute to Kiss' music at the ceremony.
"It is over 13 years since the original lineup has played together in makeup." the band said in a statement. However, Frehley said Simmons and Stanley didn't want to hurt Kiss' summer tour with Def Leopard.
"The reason they don't want to perform with me and Peter is because the last time they did, they had to do a reunion tour," Frehley told Rolling Stone. "They don't want to open up a can of worms." Simmons said Frehley and Criss "no longer deserve to wear the paint," adding, "The makeup is earned."

Kevin Costner stars in "Draft Day" as the general manager of the Cleveland Browns.
Kevin Costner tackles football in 'Draft Day'
IMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Kevin Costner is the general manager of the Cleveland Browns in his new movie, "Draft Day." The Ivan Reitmandirected project — a kind of gridiron "Moneyball" — takes place on that fateful spring day when the 32 teams in the National Football League go hunting for the cream of the year's college crop, signing, trading, strategizing, looking to fill holes in their lineups and, hopefully, find the real talent out there, and the players their competition might have missed.
The NFL draft has become a big deal in its own right, a spectator sport, with the successive rounds of picks taking place over a long weekend. (The 2014 draft: May 8-10 on the NFL Network.)
Costner, who has had a good run when it comes to sports
movies — "Field of Dreams" and "Bull Durham" (baseball), "Tin Cup" (golf) — relates to "Draft Days" go-my-own-way protagonist, Sonny Weaver Jr., a general manager being second-guessed by just about everyone from his coaches to his coworker and lover (Jennifer Garner) to his mom (Ellen Burstyn).
Costner is 59 now and has been in movies since the start of the '80s ("Frat Boy #1") in Ron Howard's "Night Shift" was an early job). He was Elliot Ness in "The Untouchables" (1987) and received best actor, best director and best picture Oscar nominations for his 1990 Lakota Indian epic, "Dances With Wolves". He won the directing and picture Academy Awards.
on in "Draft Day," and the handicapping, prospecting and deal-making that goes on in the movie biz.
Costner did not miss the parallels between the handicapping, prospecting and deal-making that goes
"I'm sure, if people tried to handicap me against all the actors that you would have compared me to, when we first started, it would be interesting," the actor ruminated on the phone from Los Angeles last week. "How many have just fallen off the cliff, so to speak — the ones that never went past one or two movies?"
"How do you handicap that when you look at someone? You know, how do you measure it? You're mistaken if you did it by looks. You're mistaken if you did it by height
+
... And you'd be mistaken if you did it by what everybody else said versus what you think."
He adds: "You have to analyze talent, and see if people have a genuine love."
Mickey Rooney, with grit always put on a show
IMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Everyone knows Mickey Rooney, but who really remembers the extent of his success? How many now living can testify not only to how large this man loomed over the American film landscape but also to the particular qualities that made him such an enormous success in his prime?
RUSSIA - BELARUS - MONGOLIA - TURKEY - CHINA - POLAND - CROatia - SERbia - Moldova - Ukraine - Poland - Kazakhstan - Russia - Belarus - Mongolia - Turkey - China - Colombia - Indonesia - Greece - Turkey - Mongolia - Korea - Brazil - Argentina - Canada - Australia - New Zealand
Everyone knows Rooney, who died at the great age of 93, precisely because he lived so long. The tireless last surviving star of Hollywood's 1930s Golden Age was always ready to make an appearance when there was a crowd waiting to applaud.
Actor Mickey Rooney waves to the crowd during the Hollywood Christmas Parade in this Nov. 27, 2005, file photo. Rooney died Sunday, April 6, 2014. He was 93.
But Rooney was more than just any star. In the final innocent prewar years of 1939, 1940 and 1941, he was the country's biggest box-office attraction, period, end of story. And the actor reached that pinnacle not by being a dashing action hero lead or a glamorous romantic lead, but by playing a teenage boy, a character one contemporary critic called "the perfect composite of everybody's kid brother." Nothing says more than that about how America's popular culture movie tastes have changed in the interim.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Rooney wasn't just any teenager either. He was brash, exuberant, unstoppable; the kind of kid Americans, once upon a time, liked to feel was representative of this country at its good-hearted, irrepressible best.
Even British rocker Ray Davies and the Kinks, who
in 1972 recorded "Celluloid Heroes," their classic tribute to the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, paid tribute to that quality by claiming, "If you stamped on Mickey Rooney, he would still turn round and smile." Just so.
Rooney seems to have come by his trademark industriousness and resilience honestly. He was born Joe Yule Jr., the son of two vaudevillians who took constant movement and hard
knocks as a matter of course. He began his stage career as a toddler and his first film role came in 1926 when, at age 6, he apparently played a midget in something called "Not to Be Trusted."
The young boy's first sustained success came in a series of shorts made between 1927 and 1936 based on a comic strip character named Mickey McGuire.

'Joe' gives Nicolas Cage his best role in a decade
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
"Joe" is the movie that will make you remember how good Nicolas Cage once was and can be again.
A Southern Gothic tale of alcohol, violence, sin and redemption, this David Gordon Green film gives Cage his finest showcase in years. Is this a harbinger of better things to come, now that he's hit 50? Probably not. But it's good to see he still has his curve ball.
Joe is damaged, resigned to the violent streak he knows he must "restrain," even at 48. His love of cheap bourbon means he's never without a bottle — at home, at work or on the road. He drinks alone. He makes his living by extending a job and a friendly hand to impoverished men, some alcoholics, like himself, men clinging to the bottom rung of the ladder in the corner of rural Texas they all share.
Joe runs a day labor work crew that clears brush and poisons commercially undesirable trees for a big timber company. He loads up his battered pickup with poison dispensers and eight or so African-American down- and outers every morning, and they do what the rules-bending company wants them to.
Joe is a tough man who knows his way around a knife, a bottle, a brothel and a pistol. He minds his own business and keeps a pit bull chained up in front of his house. He has a history, which the movie only hints at — a life he couldn't hang onto that must have involved a family, trouble with the law and local trouble-makers who still hate him.
Maybe that's why he takes
pity on Gary. The kid (Tye Sheridan of "Mud") is only 15, but he's got it rough. His old man Wade (Gary Poulter) is a brutish, aged drunk who keeps his drifting family around him even though he has no intention of supporting them. They're there, living in squalor, for him to steal from when they have money and to beat when they don't fork it over.
Joe gives Gary work. And the kid comes to treat this violent, short-fused alcoholic as a role model, a straight shooter who only insists he look him in the eve and consider him a friend.
Green, an Arkansas native who made "Undertow" and "All the Real Girls" before Hollywood turned him loose on "Pineapple Express" and "The Sitter," has an eye for worn Southern faces, and he fills this film with non-actors who have the pot bellies, tortured grammar and bad teeth of rural Southern poverty. At this level of society, race takes a back seat to focusing on your own daily struggle — to make a little money, get a little liquor, stay out of jail and reach another sunrise.
+
In houses where old newspapers cover holes in the walls, where everything that wore out or breaks beyond the limited capacity to repair (cars, trailers, appliances) is left in the yard, everybody has a gun and a willingness to use it. Violence hangs over the bars and every conversation and encounter carries a hint of menace. Who will snap? What will they do when they do?
His down-and-out work crew knows to "keep it real, with Joe." So does most everyone else in town, from Coleman the grocer to the high-mileage madam at the local brothel (Sue Rock). They
know his heart. But they also know his moods.
Cage, beefy and grey-bearded, moves with ease through this world where Joe can share a drink with "Blind George," help neighbors skin a deer (they do it in their ruin of a kitchen) or take in the trashy but loving Connie (Adriene Mishler), who needs a break from her mother and her mother's scummy boyfriend. Cage suggests a man who knows he has demons and longs to control them, but is too old to lose his contempt for those who won't let him do what he wants.
Green, working from a Gary Hawkins script based on Larry Brown's novel, has created Joe's world from movie memory
— a lot of "Undertow", a little "Prince Avalanche" — and the simple knowledge of what you find if you get far enough away from the cities and the interstates in the Deep South. The setting, characters and story reek of authenticity.
And Cage, playing Joe close to the vest, gets across a character and a code that he and we know will be tested by Gary and Gary's family. Cage lets us see the struggle and envision the reckoning to come as only a man with Joe's mysterious history can.
And most authentic of all are Wade, the stumbling but cunning old man, and Joe, outwardly kind, but a powder keg who never named his dog because to him, a pit bull is merely another instrument of violence.
Poulter, a real-life homeless man who wears a hard life in every wrinkle on his weathered face, has eyes that give away cutthroat cunning and guilty resignation. (He died after filming this.)

Barbara Walters sets retirement date from 'The View'
NEW YORK — Veteran TV journalist Barbara Walters will make her last scheduled appearance on "The View" on May 16, ABC announced Monday.
The network will honor Walters' five decades in broadcasting with a week-long celebration, "The View," the daytime talk show she helped create back in 1997, will commemorate her departure beginning May 12. ABC also plans to air a two-hour prime-time special looking back at Walters' career on May 16, and will name ABC News Headquarters in New York City in her honor.
Walters, who got her start in 1961 as a reporter on "Today," moved to ABC in 1976, where she became the first female co-anchor of a news program. Over the years, she has interviewed numerous world leaders, including Fidel Castro, Margaret Thatcher and every president and first lady since Richard Nixon. On the other end of
the spectrum, she has also earned a reputation for reliably conjuring tears from celebrities in her annual, pre-Oscars special, which she wrapped in 2010, and in her "Most Intriguing People" broadcasts. Walters announced last May she would be leaving "The View" in 2014, but did not set an exact date. Though she will no longer be making regularly scheduled appearances after May 16, she will remain involved in her capacity as an executive producer, according to ABC.

I am not sure if I should cry. I'll just keep my head down and let it cool off.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oscar Pistorius reacts as he listens to evidence by a pathologist in court in Pretoria, South Africa, Monday. A pathologist called as the first defense witness in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial offered a different sequence for the shots that killed Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius takes witness stand for first time
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRETORIA, South Africa — His voice shaking, Oscar Pistorius took the witness stand Monday for the first time, testifying that he was trying to protect the girlfriend he killed and that he became so tormented by memories of the fatal shooting and panic attacks that he once helplessly in a closet.
Pistorius also offered an apology to the family of Reeva Steenkamp, who died from multiple wounds after the double-amputee runner shot her through a closed toilet door last year in his home. He said he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. Prosecutors allege he killed her after an argument.
"There hasn't been a moment since this tragedy happened that I haven't thought about your family," the athlete said at the murder trial as Steenkamp's mother, June, looked impassively at him in the courtroom.
+
"I was simply trying to protect Reeva. I can promise that when she went to bed that night she felt loved," Pistorius said.
Pistorus' display of anguish and remorse was a marked departure from the testimony of some prosecution witnesses whose accounts painted a picture of the runner as a hothhead with a jealous streak,
an inflated sense of entitlement and an obsession with guns in the months before he killed Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model.
He has yet to be cross-examined about the shooting in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013, and that testimony is likely to be the centerpiece of a trial being broadcast on television and followed around the world. Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder and faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. Some analysts think the judge, who will decide the case, will consider a lesser charge such as homicide, which could still send him to prison for years.

"The weight of this is extremely overbearing."
OSCAR PISTORIUS Olympic runner
Pistorius, 27, spoke in a soft, quavering voice at the start of his testimony, forcing Judge Thokozile Masipa to ask him to speak more loudly. He stood at first, stifling sobs as he said he was on antidepressant medication and sometimes woke from nightmares to the "smell of blood."
Defense lawyer Barry Roux, who had aggressively challenged prosecution witnesses since the trial began March 3, led Pistorius gently through events in a life that was held up, in the runner's heyday, as an inspiring tale. 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.
Pistorius said he has been taking antidepressant medication since the week after he killed Steenkamp and has trouble sleeping. He described one night when he went to hide in a closet after waking up in "a panic."
"I climbed into a cupboard and I phoned my sister to come and sit by me, which she did for a while," Pistorius said.
Pistorius will return Tuesday to continue testifying after the judge granted an early adjournment because she said Pistorius looked "exhausted." Pistorius said he had not slept the night before.
"I'm just very tired at the moment ... I think it's a lot of things going through my mind," he said. "The weight of this is extremely overbearing."

Notre Dame keeps rolling after defeating Maryland
NOTRE DAME, tenn. — Notre Dame's Muffet McGraw has deflected talk of a perfect season and a potential showdown with rival Connecticut all year long.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Now the undefeated Irish will get a crack at their rival when the teams meet for a national championship on Tuesday night.
The former Big East teams had developed the top rivalry in the sport. The Irish have won seven of the previous nine meetings, including beating the Huskies twice in the Final Four.
"It's better than meeting in the national semifinals," McGraw deadpanned about the title matchup.
UConn (39-0) won the last meeting though, topping Notre Dame in the Final Four last season.
Notre Dame forward Taya Reimer (12) shoots against Maryland center Brionna Jones (42) during the second half of the game in the Final Four of the NCAA women's college basketball tournament Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.
The Irish (37-0) advanced to the championship game with an 87-61 rout of Maryland on Sunday night in the Final Four.
Kayla McBride scored 28 points in one of the most impressive games of her career. The All-American senior guard seemingly did whatever she wanted, and enjoyed herself while she did it.
McBride shed defenders with behind-the-back dribbles and quick crossovers before scoring. She set the tone, refusing to let for
"She was truly special," McGraw said. "She was having fun out there and that was the key. She was hitting shots from all over."
"It means a lot as a senior," McBride said. "I'm so proud of this team. We went through a lot of adversity, especially after losing 'Ace.' We're going to go in and look at the film and be ready for the game."
Notre Dame lost senior Natalie 'Ace' Achonwa in the regional final when she suffered a torn ACL. The team wore shirts in warm-ups with Achonwa's No. 11 and the 6-foot-3 forward's nickname on the back. She helped her team warm. McGraw, who was The Associated
Press coach of the year, was concerned coming into the game about her team's ability to rebound against the bigger Terrapins without Achonwa. Her team practiced all week on boxing out and not allowing second shots.
It worked. The Irish dominated the Terrapins (28-7) on the boards with a 50-21 rebounding advantage, including a 19-4 mark on the offensive end. It was the widest rebounding margin ever in a Final Four game, shattering the previous mark of 19 set by Louisiana Tech in 1989.
Notre Dame's pursuit of a perfect season end.

A's ruin home opener for Twins with 8-3 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Yoenis Cespedes proved he can play through a hurting right heel, giving Scott Kazmir and the Oakland Athletics a spark with a pair of RBIs that helped spoil the Minnesota Twins' home opener with an 8-3 victory on Monday.
MLB
Moss added a two-run single in the third and Derek Norris homered in the sixth.
Cespedes has been hobbling around the last few days with the injury, but the team wasn't worried enough about it to hold him out of the lineup. The Cuban slugger followed a leadoff walk to Brandon Moss by crushing a double in the second inning for the first run against Kevin Correia (0-1) and hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh.
Kazmir (2-0), who stymied with Twins in five starts against them last season for Cleveland, completed six innings with six hits, three runs and four walks allowed.
He struck out five, and RBI doubles by Aaron Hicks and Jason Kubel were the only damaging hits against him.
The 30-year-old Kazmir dazzled in his As debut with 7 1-3 scoreless innings last week against his old team, the Indians. He did the same against the Twins in 2013, going 3-0 with a 1.45 ERA in 31 innings with 36 strikeouts. At least the Twins won't have to face him four more times, as they did as a division foe. They travel to Oakland for a four-game series in August, the only other possible match.
Correia took a step back from his first start. About the only dependable starter last year in a ragged rotation that has since been upgraded through free agency, the right-hander was removed with two outs in the sixth. He yielded nine hits, six runs and two walks while striking out three.
Alberto Callaspo and Josh Reddick also drove in runs for the As, who played without center fielder Coco Crisp because of a sore left wrist.
The Twins had double that trouble, with left fielder Josh Willingham (left wrist) and right fielder Oswaldo Arcia (right wrist) both out of the
lineup. Backup first baseman Chris Colabello, who had a league-leading 11 RBIs over the first week of the season, played for Arcia and made a lunging catch of a sinking line drive to start a double play that ended the second inning. Kubel took over for Willingham, and backup catcher Josmil Pinto was the designated hitter.
Jed Lowrie hit what the As believed was a home run down the right-field line in the third inning, but the call on the field was a foul ball and the umpire-initiated review upheld the ruling. Lowrie took a walk instead and later scored.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha watches from the dugout after the first inning of the game against the Cincinnati Reds Monday in St. Louis. The Cardinals defeated the Reds 5-3.
Wacha pitches Cards past Reds for victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Michael Wacha outdid Tony Cingrani in a rematch of young power arms and the St. Louis Cardinals got a three-run double from Yadier Molina in the first inning, beating the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 in their home opener on Monday.
The Cardinals bunched three hits and a walk over the first five hitters to take the early lead against Cingrani (0-1), who allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings six days earlier in Cincinnati.
Standing room attendance of 47,492, the largest crowd at 9-year-old Busch Stadium, braved daylong rain and temperatures in the 40s to greet the National League champions and take a look at the new Ballpark Village. Hundreds milled about the attached complex, which features five sports bars and rooftop seating.
The Cards went 1 for 18 before adding RBIs from Matt Holliday and Allen Craig off Trevor Bell in a two-run seventh.
St. Louis ended a three-game
losing streak on opening day, including a blowout loss to the Reds last year.
The 22-year-old Wacha (1-0) hadn't allowed a run in 21 career innings against the Reds before back-to-back doubles by Brayan Pena and pinch hitter Roger Bernadina in the fifth cut the Cardinals' lead to 3-1.
The NL championship series MVP benefited from two double-play balls in six stingy innings and has permitted one run in 13 2-3 innings his first two starts.
Cingrani needed 31 pitches to exit the first and lasted four innings, striking out five but walking four. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before the game that his hitters had been a "click off" with timing against the 24-year-old lefty last week and should benefit from another chance so soon.
Peter Bourjos moved up to second in the order and got his first two hits of the season after an 0 for 13 start. Craig got his third hit and third RBI of the season after entering 2 for 22.
Seeing Wacha once again
didn't do the Reds any good.
The start of the game was delayed 12 minutes after the inclement weather combined with pregame ceremonies that featured the traditional grand entrance with players, coaches and Hall of Famers touring Busch Stadium on the back of convertibles and trucks. A team of Clydesdales was kept in the stable due to concerns the field might be damaged.
Billy Hamilton doubled to start the game and the Reds put the leadoff man on base in the first four innings but were undone by two double plays.
Zack Cozart broke an 0-for-22 slump to start the season with a bloop RBI single and pinch hitter Neftali Soto had a sacrifice fly for his first career RBI in the ninth against St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal.
The Cardinals opened the first with singles by Matt Carpenter and Bourjos and Holliday walked to load the bases with none out. Craig struck out before Molina cleared them with a drive to left center on a 1-2 pitch.

THE MORNING BREW
22-season track and field record broken
A lot can happen in 21 years. Back in 1993, the Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills. The Colorado Rockies played in their first season. The Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup against the Los Angeles Kings. Tennis star Monica Seles was stabbed. All of these things seem as if they happened a long time ago, because many undergraduate students weren't even born. 21 years ago marked the start of something special, the longest streak of consecutive regular-season wins in high school track and field.

Kearney High School, located in Kearney, Neb., is nationally recognized for its streak. Over 22 seasons, the Bearcats won 123 regular-season meets in a row. Not included in its streak are postseason wins. During that time, Kearney has won 21 consecutive district
titles and 11 consecutive state championships. As an athlete, having Kearney on your schedule always resulted in a whirlwind of emotions. Yes, there's a lot of competition, but winning against them is impossible.
Winning against them was impossible. The streak that felt as if it would last forever came to a halt on April 5, when Millard West High School beat Kearney at the Columbus Invitational. The last team to beat Kearney in the
regular season was Lincoln Southeast High School, in the first meet of the 1993 season.
"Kearney is a class team, very well-coached and traditionally sound in field events. And nothing is sweeter than
"Winning every meet for 22 years seems like a long time, at least people tell me that," Kearney coach Roger Mathiesen said to the Kearney Hub. For the Wildcats of Millard West, nothing felt better.
victory', said Millard West coach Max Kurz.
One former Bearcat holds Nebraska track and field state records. Colby Wissel broke the 1,600-meter run record back in 2004, registering a 4:10.44. Wissel has the three fastest times run in that event in Nebraska history as

well. Wissel also has the 3,200-meter run record in his name, running 8:55.55, also in 2004.
Even though the streak is over, Kearney still holds a strong grip on the high school track and field community
throughout Nebraska and the nation. Its consecutive winning streak may be finished, but it's going to take years and years to take the Bearcats record away from them.

Wilson's pitching leads Angels past Astros
HOUSTON — C.J. Wilson pitched eight solid innings, Howie Kendrick and Raul Ibanez each drove in three runs and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 9-1 Monday.
Wilson (1-1) yielded four
The Angels took three of four from Houston after starting the season 0-3.
Kendrick drove in two with a single in a three-run first inning. He added an RBI with a single when the Angels tacked on three more in the seventh.
Kole Calhoun homered off Jarred Cosart (1-1), sending a drive to right field for his second shot of the series to push the lead to 4-0 in the fifth inning.
hits and a run while fanning seven. He looked a lot more like the 17-game winner he was last year than he did in his first start this season when he allowed eight hits and six runs in 5 2-3 innings of a loss to Seattle.
Houston struggled to get anything going off of him. Jesus Guzman doubled with one out in the second before Wilson retired nine in a row. A double by Chris Carter came with one out in the fifth inning, and Wilson sat down 10 straight after that. The Astros finally got on the board when Carlos Corporan launched a 76 mph curveball into the Crawford Boxes in left field for a home run that made it 8-1.
Cosart was done in by a bad first inning where he had to
use 32 pitches. He was pulled after allowing three hits, five runs and walking four in six innings.
It was a disappointing second start for the 23-year-old who threw five scoreless frames for the win in his 2014 debut against the Yankees.
A pair of walks and a fielder's choice loaded the bases with one out in the first inning for
Cosart. A broken-bat groundout by Ibanez sent one home to make it 1-0. Carter had to navigate around the flying piece of bat that stuck in the dirt right near where he fielded the ball.
Ibanez drove home two with a single to right field off reliever Brad Peacock in the seventh.

COMMENTARY
One and done produce mixed results
BASEBALL
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
Jayhawks' momentum will help in Iowa
Many people talk about merits of the one-and-done system. Does it work? Are the successes actually flukes? Is it good for the players?
+
Edited by Nick Chadbourne
Like so many sports questions, it has a very simple answer. It depends.
John Calipari is the undisputed champion of the system. He prides himself on being a farm system for potential NBA superstars and winning with those players.
The good news for Kansas fans is Self will return three starters and much of his rotation, which should put him back in his comfort zone.
Ka'iana Eldrige fields a throw from left field Michael Suiter during Kansas' 4-2 win over Wichita State on April 12, 2013. Kansas (21-11, 5-4 Big 12) will play Iowa today.
His success this year masked the failure last year, which featured a recruiting class filled with highly-rated players, such as Nerlens Noel and Archie Goodwin. That team lost in the first round of the NIT against a school that sounds like the name of your local senator, Robert Morris.
Ultimately, the one-and done system works, but only when situation is just right, with the right coach and the right players.
His failure last year undermined his championship in 2012. That team featured one-and-dones such as Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
The 2013-14 team put Self out of his comfort zone. Some claimed Self was outcoached much of the year. The more accurate claim is Self didn't have as much time as he normally does to get players to buy into his system. Even a split-second difference can be devastating, both on offense and defense. That split second is a learning process that takes successful players years to master.
The NIT loss aside, Calipari's system is catered to specific players. His offense focuses on the individual. With the right players, especially at the point guard position, this system works.
Bill Self's problem is he is the complete opposite of John Calipari. Not only does Self use less hair gel, but his system often takes years before players are comfortable. Look no further than Travis Reelford, Jeff Withey and Russell Robinson to understand the importance of developing within the program.
Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins are incredible players, but chemistry and timing are the oxygen and carbon dioxide of the Kansas basketball program. Without the proper amounts, survival is difficult.
Upperclassmen are the bread and butter of Kansas basketball. Even sophomores have an advantage, which explains why a team with Conner Teahan as its sixth man won four more tournament games that a team with two potential top-three picks. That team started two seniors and three juniors; it had Self's fingerprints all over it.

Kansas is coming off of a huge series win against their Big 12 rivals, Kansas State. The Jayhawks bounced back after a 10-0 shutout in the first game of the series to win two straight.
The Jayhawks are 21-11 on the season and 5-4 in their conference this season. Kansas will head to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes in a two-game mid-week series.
Iowa enters the series 16-12 on the season, with a 3-5 conference record. They are coming off of a three-game sweep by the Indiana Hoosiers.
Freshman infielder/pitcher Jon Hander will start for Kansas on the mound in the first game of the two-game series. Hander has a 3.24 earned run average (ERA) in 8.1 innings pitches over four appearances thus far.
Kansas has won three out of their last four games and will look to carry that success into Iowa.
Junior left-fielder Michael Suiter is batting .336 on the season while driving 21 runs batted in (RBIs). Suiter bats in the three hole for Kansas and has been on a tear since
WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
junior right fielder Connor McKay has been out of the lineup. Suiter has nine hits in his last six games improving his batting average by 16 points. He has scored nine runs in the span, bringing his total to 27 in the season. Suiter has been a catalyst for the offense in the absence of one of their best offensive players.
KANSAS WILL WIN IF..
The Jayhawks will start their mid-week series off with a win if they don't leave men on base. Kansas has left over eight runners on base in their 11 losses this season. Connor McKay still leads the team with 34 RBIs even though he has missed the last seven games. The Jayhawks will need to find run production from other parts in their lineup whether it be Suiter or someone else.
Kansas will lose their first game against Iowa if Hander cannot pitch more than six innings effectively. The Jayhawk pitching staff is short right now due to injury and struggles. Junior left-handed pitcher Wes Benjamin is still hurt, and usual mid-week starter junior pitcher Drew Morovick pitched in relief against Kansas State. Kansas
YANSAS WILL LOSE IF.
should hope that Hander can go deep into the game and have freshman pitcher Stephen Villines, who has a .38 ERA, close it out.
PREDICTION:
If Hander is able to go deep into the game, Kansas should have no problem picking up the victory. The Jayhawks have momentum on their side and will defeat the Hawkeyes 4-2, with Hander picking up the win and Villines recording his fourth save on the season.

The Commission found the Jayhawkers in violation of a rule that outlines penalties for purchasing food for a campaign event.

should trigger penalties outlined in 7.4.10.6.10, for purchasing food for campaign event. The complaint alleged that on March 30, 2014, Jayhawkers purchased food from Chipotle for a group of students. Witnesses appeared for both sides of the argument.
Decision: The Commission finds that Jayhawkers violated 7.4.9.2.6 and, as a result, the entire coalition (including all candidates) is disqualified from the election. The Jayhawkers purchased food for the purpose of campaigning, and failed to report those expenditures to the Commission on their weekly financial report. This event unfairly advantaged Jayhawkers over the other coalitions and candidates in the election.
The Jayhawkers argued that they asked attendees of the event to compensate the coalition leadership for the food
tnds this defense insufficient because the food was still used for campaigning, and is therefore a campaign expense.
"The Jayhawkers will be on the ballot tomorrow, and we will go through as planned. We think this decision is inappropriate," Mackenzie Oatman, the Jayhawkers presidential candidate, said Tuesday night. "We are going to take this to highest appeal. Not only were we falsely accused and found
Grow KU's Will Admussen brought the charge against the Jayhawkers in the Commission meeting earlier Tuesday night.
The Jayhawkers accused Grow KU of providing free food at meetings on March 3 and 8. Cody Christensen, a Jayhawkers representative, also accused Grow KU of providing free cappuccinos at the March 8 event. The Commission found no violation.
Oatman said the decision was "a result of internal Senate politics."
Another violation was brought up against the Jayhawkers by Student Senate Chief of Staff Tyler Childress for improper registration.
Since the accusation was brought up last Friday, the Jayhawkers had formulated a document that stated that the attendees paid for their own burritos. The document included signatures of the students present.
Admussen challenged the timing of the events — if the attendees knew they would have to pay for the burritos themselves before or after the Jayhawkers were accused of campaign violations.
Two other complaints were discussed at the Student Senate election committee's campaign violations meeting Tuesday evening.
Rock Chalk Central allowed the coalition to go online before the approval of three students and an adviser, so even though the Jayhawkers were given the impression that they had properly registered with the SILC, they had not. Childress requested the lowest possible fine of $15, saying that the coalition did break the rule, but the group's action won't impact how students vote in the election.
The Commission also found no violation regarding the complaint.
The Elections Commissioner Jake Rapp was unavailable for comment at the time of the Kansan's print deadline. This was the most up-to-date information as of midnight last night. Check updates on this story at Kansan.com.

STUDENT SENATE
Voter turnout for elections hard to predict this year
EMILY DONOVAN news@kansan.com
Jake Rapp, the Student Senate elections commission chair and a graduate student from Lawrence, said voting requires a little bit of effort.
"One of the big responsibilities that coalitions and candidates have is to inform the public as to why the election matters," Rapp said. "I think that's one of the biggest challenges that they confront, given a student body that has a lot of other things on their minds."
Students have to figure out who the candidates are, read their online campaign materials and believe that these elections matter.
Student Senate elections matter. Rapp said, because of the three big responsibilities Student Senate has.
WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
1. Student Senate allocates and sets the required campus fee, prioritizing what programs and policies get money.
"It's important to vote in Student Senate elections because, as we've seen this year, the people who are in the administration matter," said Emma Halling. Student body vice president. "You should identify who among the candidates you agree with — both the platforms that they're putting forward and the values that they hold as leaders."
3. Student Senate represents the student body to the public,
"You see your fee dollars directly impacting your University experience," said Marcus Tetwiler, student body president. "You see the buses. You have access to health services." 2. Student body president and vice president appoint students to boards and committees throughout the University government structure.
to administrators and to the Kansas Board of Regents.
"It's also important to vote because it gives those leaders legitimacy when they go into conversations with administrators and with state legislators," Halling said.
When Halling goes into conversations with the Provost or state legislators, she can say, "This is how we feel on this issue, and I represent 6,000 students who voted in this past election."
If students don't vote, Halling said decision-makers may not keep the student body's best interest in mind. She said legislators may think, "We can change this because what are the students going to do? They don't react. They don't vote. We

University group hosts bone marrow drive
DUNCAN MARSHALL news@kansan.com
The University of Kansas' Students Together Against Cancer (STAC) will be partnering with Delete Blood Cancer and hosting a bone marrow donor drive on campus this week. The drive will be held today through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wescoe Beach and in the Kansas Union.
Students are invited to stop by to learn more about the bone marrow donation process and to get registered as potential donors on the
National Bone Marrow Registry.
During the drive, no actual bone marrow will be donated. Instead, the drive is all about registering people to become possible donors.
"We have a bunch of information about bone marrow, who it helps, the statistics, that students can see before they decide to donate," KU STAC President Haley Mead said. "It will be informational as well as signing people up as a donor."
Blood cancer is the third leading cause of all U.S. cancer deaths. It claims more
children's lives in the U.S. than any other disease. Delete Blood Cancer and STAC have teamed up to gather bone marrow donors so that those numbers hopefully decrease.
"When people are called to donate they could be one of dozens who are matched to the patient or they could be the only one, so it is important to be committed to donating." KU STAC Vice President Allie Kite said.
The Delete Blood Cancer team and volunteers from-STAC will be onsite to help students get registered as donors. The entire process for
becoming a potential donor is simple and usually takes less than five minutes. A simple swab of the mouth and some paperwork will be filled out. Once a recipient is matched to you, you will then be called in for a possible bone marrow donation. Any student that is under 55 and is in good health is eligible to sign up to become a donor.
KU STAC's goal for the bone marrow drive is to get 1,500 students registered on the Be a Match Registry.
Those who are unable to attend any of the drives but still would like to become a donor
can register online at www.

LAWRENCE
New mayor to work with University, city
MADDIE FARBER news@kansan.com
The University Daily Kansan sat down with recently elected Mike Amyx, the new Mayor of Lawrence, to introduce students to him and speak with him about what we should expect to see during the rest of the year.
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
I am 60 years old and am married with one son. I was born and raised here in Lawrence, and my family owns Amyx Barber shop downtown. It has been in my family for three generations now.
In 1983, I was elected to the Lawrence City Commission. I served last year as vice mayor and have just begun my term
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE CITY COMMISSION?
as mayor. I will serve for one year.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR LAWRENCE DURING YOUR TERM?
Some of the big things that I've always been involved in is job development and job growth, but I'm also in big support of maintaining our infrastructure, like street pipes, sewers, water, etc. We have to take care of what we have before we start trying to take care of new things. Over the last several years, we have been able to bring in an additional sales tax and have used that money for street projects. Having the proper infrastructure in place is what makes Lawrence work well.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES
LAWRENCE MIGHT SEE?
wastewater treatment plant in the Southeast part of the community near the Wakarusa River. Proper treatment of water waste is going to be an absolute if we are going to see (more) growth in the future. This is something that we really need to do under this commission's work and is something to be approved this year. I'm also pushing for a new police department building—it's something that needs to be at a good central location to meet the needs of Lawrence citizens. Right now they are at a couple of different sites, but I hope to work with the commission to combine them all at one location.
We're planning for a new
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO WORK WITH THE UNIVERSITY?
The City Commission has always had a good relationship with KU. This is something that has always been important to me. We have a lot of
good relationships between our staff and the administration staff here. A lot of the municipal services we provide the University uses, but on the other hand the university is an economic strength to the city. We are a lucky community to have such a strong relationship with KU and making sure we look after one another. It's all about community.
WHY DO YOU THINK STUDENTS SHOULD CARE?

All residents, including students, have access to what the city provides for them. Students should be aware of what's going on and where to find the resources we provide. We are continuing to work on this.

LOCAL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Federal authorities are investigating more than a dozen apparently random shootings targeting vehicles on Kansas City-area roads and highways to determine whether they are connected, a police spokesman said Tuesday.
Police seek federal help in highway shootings
car
Detectives and police analysts started noticing a pattern last week after reports of shootings started coming in, and by Sunday had identified 13 that had occurred over a four-week span. Ten of them happened in Kansas City, Mo., with the other three in the suburbs of Leawood, Kan., Blue
Darryl Forte, the Kansas City, Mo., police chief, met with the FBI Monday to discuss the incidents and had scheduled other meetings
necting them, Grant said. In all of the cases, someone fired shots just before reaching a highway exit ramp or road split, then veered off in a different direction from the victim's vehicle.
Thirteen shootings have been reported since March 8, most of them in an area on the city's south side known as the Grandview Triangle, where three interstate highways and U.S. 50 intersect. Three people were wounded, but none were considered life-threatening, Grant said.
While there are similarities in geography, time of day and the circumstances of the shootings, there is no physical evidence con-
this week with federal investigators, Capt. Tye Grant said.
The most recent shooting was Sunday, when a 57-year-old Blue Springs man was driving east on Interstate 470 when he heard two large bangs and thought he had run over something. About that time he also felt what he thought was a charley horse in his left leg, but when he put his hand down he found blood, pulled over and called 911.
The man had been shot in the calf. One other driver was shot in
the leg, while a third was shot in the arm, police said.
"This isn't the first time I've heard of a random shooting reported, but as far as several of them possibly being linked, I can't think of another situation that has occurred in the KansasCity area." Grant said.
No new shootings have been reported since Sunday.
The police department, FBI and ATF are offering a $7,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the shootings.

RECORD VOTER
TURNOUT IN 2013
Last year, students reacted. Students voted.
Last year's Student Senate election 25 percent voter turnout was a record high for the University.
"I hope it's broken," Tetwiler said. "I hope it is."
"I don't think it will be," said Tyler Childress, chief of staff. "There's not as much fervor, it doesn't seem like the student body cares as much, and even though the campaign is shorter, I don't think the coalitions have done as good of a job at differentiating themselves."
Childress thinks the student body won't bother to vote if there isn't a difference between coalitions' platforms.
"Even in the debate last week,
"We never did that last year," Halling said.
"Yeah, sustainability," Tetwiler quoted. "I actually agree with you. I could work with you on that."
there was a lot of agreement," Tetwiler said.
Rapp said student campaigns in the past have encouraged a higher voter turnout when they emphasize how their platforms and candidates differ.
"Students, I think, respond to

well-established differences," he said.
Jake Rapp expects this year's voter turnout to be high. He predicted about 20 percent.
"Students need to believe that there's a choice and that it's a choice that they can make," Rapp said.
Due to this year's campaign reform, Tetwiler said this year's election is an experiment.
Campaigns are shorter and less aggressive, so students are less annoyed, but also may not be as informed.
Tetwil remember's surprise and disbelief after last year's election results were announced. There's no Gallup poll prediction of Student Senate election winners.
"There's no way to know," Tetwiler said.

the intersection of identities.
"We desperately need to do more work on campus exploring the other identities of students and how those identities intersect," Detmer said. "So that is definitely going to be a priority for the coordinator."
According to Detmer, the addition of someone with a background in higher education and counseling will be valuable because they will be able to provide guidance and support for students who come into the resource center.
"Students who identify with the gender and sexuality minority community often are going through a struggle with identity in their college years and we need to provide an office of support and a network of support for those students," Detmer said.
Although the LGBTQ Resource Center has been working on getting this position for years, the administration never had the funding because of state cuts to higher education. The resource center then turned to Student Senate for funding to accommodate the growing gender and sexuality minority population.
"I really felt that we had an obligation to those students who are either here and are struggling or the students that will be coming in future years to KU, just to make sure that they have that resource, whether or not they actually need that help, just to make sure it's there," said senior Tyler Childress, Student Senate chief of staff.
Other than providing a fulltime safe space for students, the coordinator would also be creating connections and building an inclusive environment through events and programs.
Currently, the LGBTQ Resource Center has campaigns and events to spread awareness and encourage inclusivity, including the Lavender Graduation Ceremony, which celebrates the achievements of gender and sexuality minority students during their time at the University. The event will be held on May 15 at 7 p.m. in the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Students can register for this year's ceremony at silc.ku.edu/lavgrad.
"It's to honor and celebrate gender and sexuality minorities and ally graduates so that they leave feeling a sense of empowerment and achievement," Detmer said. "They know that this is a place that values their sexual orientation or gender identity."
"I think it's going to have one of the largest impacts that we can have on this campus and I know that we are reaching out to a lot of students," Childress said.
The hope is that with the addition of this position and the growth of the LGBTQ community on campus there will be more expansion in the resource center, both in number of positions and presence on campus.

K-State has a full-time coordinator, a graduate student assistant and an undergraduate student working in its LGBTQ Resource Center.

Kansas teachers vow to fight for rights
TOPEKA, Kan. — Leaders of the largest Kansas teachers' union vowed Tuesday to fight through November's elections against the Legislature's vote to eliminate tenure.
The provisions were added to a school funding bill adopted Sunday by legislators that increases state funding for public schools by more than $129 million. The funding increase was made to satisfy a Kansas Supreme Court ruling last month that ordered the state to increase funding to poor school districts. The measure is now on Gov. Sam Brownback's desk.
The tenure provisions are similar to language that has been
introduced or adopted across the country in recent years, including North Carolina, Indiana and Colorado.
Mark Desetty, a lobbyist for the Kansas National Education Association, said that ending tenure would limit teachers' ability to advocate for their students' best interests. The union also believes depriving teachers of the admin-
"I think it has become much more common in recent years;" he
said. "This is political retribution by people who believe they have an unfettered right to run roughshod over people who disagree with them."
istrative due process provided by tenure puts their jobs in jeopardy.
Deseti said while there had been hostility in the air toward teachers in recent years there was no indication that the tenure issue was coming until it was sprung on the Senate floor during debate of the funding bill.
Proponents of the change included conservative Republicans and the group Americans for Prosperity. They argued the move would give local school boards and administrators more power to
remove underperforming teachers and would improve the quality of public education.
"There's no reason for tenure. There is no reason to have any protected class in this state or in this country," said Rep. Allan Rothlisberg, a Grandview Plaza Republican.

Support platforms for senate, not coalitions
Too often, student senate elections revolve around complicated verbiage, empty promises and flashy social media campaigns. Therefore rather than endorsing a specific coalition, the Kansan editorial board has endorsed specific platforms we believe are both feasible and necessary to the growth and academic success of the student body. We have also selected specific platforms we believe are not fiscally responsible or essential to the University. When casting your vote in this year's election, we encourage you to take each platform into consideration and act as an informed and socially responsible member of the University community.
CRIMSON AND TRUE
CRIMSON AND TRUE Endorsement: Expanding the Writing Center Including foreign language help in the Writing Center will increase the academic
achievement for the entire student population. This is a change that is critical to the development and accessibility of our foreign language departments.
Don't support: Jayhawk Olympics
This platform would create an annual "Jayhawk Olympics" event to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle among the student body. While health and wellness plays a key role in student success, an event like this falls under the jurisdiction of the Watkins Student Health Center, Peer Health Educators, the Ambler Student Recreational Center and other existing campus organizations. This would be an inefficient use of senate funding and energy.
Endorsement: Nontraditional student resource center
For more information on this coalition, their candidates and platforms, visit facebook.com/ crimsonandtrue.
GROW KU
Providing an inclusive and welcoming community for any group of students is an important part of the future success of students and the University as a whole. Non-traditional students make up a large portion of the student body yet are frequently overlooked. A centrally located center catered to the needs of this population can serve to bridge the gap between traditional and nontraditional students.
Don't support: Annual fall concert
Although this platform plans for a "privately funded event" during Homecoming, we disagree with the planning and accountability falling on the shoulders of senate. Our elected officials should focus their time and energy on funding student organizations
and implementing their platforms to enhance the student body. Leave the concert planning to other promotional organizations on campus.
For more information on this coalition, their candidates and platforms visit growku.org.
JAYHAWKERS
*Endorsement: GaDuGi*
"Safebar Alliance"
Partnership
This platforms seeks to partner with the local organization GaDuGi Safecenter to promote a safer environment while students enjoy the nightlife of Lawrence. Jayhawkers hope to expand GaDuGi's already existing "Safebar" program and its resources. Students' safety, both on and off campus, is critical to the overall college experience. This platform has the ability to create a safer community for all students, even on the weekends.
Don't support: Safe and responsible drinking spaces in the Kansas Union
While a safe drinking environment is important, the Kansas Union and Jaybowl should not serve cereal malt beverages. Although the idea of drinking on campus is enticing, we believe the Union should serve as an institution to promote student involvement and leadership.Additionally although the Union is licensed to serve alcohol to faculty, liability issues are called into question when serving these beverages to students.

EDUCATION
Tenure for teachers must be protected
I have had bad teachers before. Actually, it was in the seventh grade. I was a straight A student, yet I couldn't get anything better than a high C or low B on anything graded in geography class. Frustrated, I chalked it up to the idea I was simply terrible at geography.
Thankfully, my parents knew better, my father and I had a long talk with my teacher. It finally came out in a passing comment that my teacher was under the impression that I did not play any sports, and if I did, I would be much more capable of grasping the concepts he was teaching us, or something to that end. Coincidentally, when my father informed him I was, in fact, very active with my local gymnastics team, I started getting straight As in that class, too.

Now compare the two. It's unfortunate, these two educators should have to share a spot in your life — it's unfortunate you should have to deal with someone like the first teacher to begin with — but would
Now think of the best teacher you've ever had. This person not only taught you what you needed to know to pass his or her class, he or she pushed you to develop facets of yourself you did not even realize were there. This person is probably the teacher that wrote all of your letters of recommendation for college applications and scholarships, or the first adult you ever had a connection with on a level close to friendship (parents don't count).
you really want to eliminate job incentive or security for great teachers, simply to eliminate bad teachers? This is basically what I hear whenever I hear someone critique the tenure system, or teacher's salaries, and this is a poor excuse for the state legislature to eliminate tenure for teachers.
I am the child of two public school teachers, and even though I am not a teacher myself, it frustrates me to hear teachers get thrown under the bus by voters and public spectators who simply do not understand the educational system. The public school system has always been under a spotlight, as it should be: the quality of education for future generations is unfathomably important. Yet, education is often one of the first areas of government funding to be cut, and teachers — next to politicians themselves — are probably the most critiqued and underpaid profession of all. The public does not understand the complicated politics that goes into being a teacher in the public school system. I find it absolutely disheartening that people cast such strong condemnation onto teachers and education, without truly
understanding such an intricate profession.
Tenure is not a guarantee of a job, but rather a teacher's right to due process, or in other words, a legally binding agreement prevents a school district from firing a teacher without providing them an appropriate reason for their termination. In a system that cannot function on capitalist business practices, (meaning, a teacher cannot raise the revenue of a school by being good at what he or she does) a teacher has no job security except through tenure. Particularly when it costs schools more to pay for a teacher with experience versus a new teacher with little to no experience, schools may opt to hire less experienced teachers over teachers who might now be considered too expensive to pay for.
This means teachers risk seeing even less of an income than the abominable pay they already receive, and without financial reward and job security, what incentive will the educational system have to draw in the types of great teachers our children deserve? The truth is, the educational system as we know it is dying, and with it, good teachers. This bill, along with its other amendments likely to cause more harm than good to school systems, is only a small nod to the travesty of the under appreciated teacher.

POLITICS
Progress still needed toward equal pay
"The West Wing" is one of those shows I've watched twice through but still put on as background noise when I quilt or clean. Some parts of it are a little dated, but the core political issues addressed are still at the forefront of our discussions today. The majority of the show reaffirms my generally liberal ideology, but as I was half-watching an episode the other day, an interesting point was raised by the token Republican character Ainsley Hayes. She opposes the Equal Rights Amendment — a proposed amendment guaranteeing equality of rights between the sexes — to the bewilderment of her male, liberal coworkers.
"It's humiliating," Ainsley says. "A new amendment we vote on declaring that I am equal under the law to a man, I am mortified to discover there is reason to believe I wasn't before. I am a citizen of this country; I am not a special subset in need of your protection. I do not have to have my rights handed down to me by a bunch of old, white men. The same Article 14 that protects you, protects me, and I went to law school just to make sure."
Ainsley is right; men and women shouldn't have to be told that they are equal. On Tuesday, President Obama signed two executive orders in an effort to increase pay equity between the sexes in

the federal government. We shouldn't have to have laws that guarantee that men and women are paid the same amount for the same job, and that they can object if this is not true.
It is humiliating, not so much as a woman, but as an American citizen, that we must have laws that ensure equality between genders, races, sexual orientations and the like, despite the fact that as American citizens, equality is constitutionally guaranteed. It is humiliating for our society that we are not yet at the point where it just makes sense that you pay two people the same amount for doing the same job.
Ainsley Hayes would hate the fact that President Obama signed these executive orders on Tuesday, especially given the already existing acts of legislation that aim to tackle this issue, such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 or the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. I hate it too in theory, but I'll swallow my pride if it means that's one step closer to equal pay being an accepted fact rather than a topic for debate.

Rising hip-hop artists to add to your spring playlist
RYAN WRIGHT
entertain@kansan.com
If you're looking for new music,you're in the right place. Here are a few artists you might like based on artists you already listen to.
IF YOU LIKE CHANCE THE RAP-
PER. CHECK OUT VIC MENSA
Ever since the release of "Acid Rap," Chance The Rapper has had a meteoric rise to fame. He's even recently been featured on Justin Bieber's song "Confident." There hasn't been much news about Chance's next project, so fans should give fellow Chicago native Vic Mensa a chance. Mensa was once a member of indie band Kids These Days, but after they broke up he's been pursuing a solo career. Mensa possesses the same energy Chance The Rapper brings and has a great ear for production. Mensa has only released one solo project so far, 2013's "INNANETAPE," but it definitely worth a listen.
IF YOU LIKE SCHOOLBOY Q,
CHECK OUT VINCE STAPLES
The West Coast is making a strong comeback with artists such as Schoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar and YG all releasing quality material. Another name to add to that list is Vince Staples. Staples quite possibly had the two best verses on Earl Sweatshirt's 2013 album "Doris," and has dropped a plethora of quality projects, with the most recent being "Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2." Staples was recently signed to Def Jam is planning on releasing his debut album in the near future. He is a great story
teller and can rhyme on just about any type of production. Right now Vince is on tour with Schoolboy Q and Isiah Rashaad and the tour makes a stop in Lawrence on April 23 at Liberty Hall.
IF YOU LIKE KID CUDI,
CHECK OUT TRAVEL POST
Travis Scott has expressed that Kid Cudi is his favorite artist and it shows in his music. Scott sings and raps just like Cudi and also has been known to use similar flows as him, but what sets Scott apart from Cudi is his production. Scott is one of the best young producers in hip-hop; he's signed as an in-house producer to Kanye West's GOOD Music and his production was prominently featured on West's 2013 album "Yeezus." He's also signed as a rapper to T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records. He's only released one project so far, "Owl Pharaoh." It's free and is definitely worth a listen.
IF YOU LIKE THREE 6 MAFIA,
CHECK OUT SPACEGHOST-
PURRP
Three 6 Mafia were the originators of southern lo-fi, eerie rap music. Now that the group seems to be done with the style of music, fans should check out Miami native SpaceGhostPurrp. SpaceGhostPurrp has mastered and improved upon Three 6 Mafia's sound, some of his tracks are downright spooky. His production is amazing, but as a rapper SpaceGhostPurrp could improve. Even though he's not the best rapper, his beats make up for it. SpaceGhostPurrp has a long discography but his best album is 2012's "Mysterious
Phonk: Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp" He's a great artist, but he's "retired" from music several times and has always come back, so who knows how long he'll continue.
IF YOU LIKE THE BAD PLUS,
CHECK OUT BADBADNOTGOOD
If you're a fan of jazz bands like The Bad Plus, then you should check out BADBADNOTGOOD. Along with original works, they also do covers of classic hip-hop tracks such as Nas's "The World Is Yours." They have done production for Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt of Odd Future, and their most recent project "III" releases on May 6. Their other two projects "BBNG" and "BBNG2" are free and can be found online at badbadnotgood.com.
IF YOU LIKE KANYE WEST'S "YEEZUS," CHECK OUT DEATH GRIPS
"Yeezus" heavily featured industrial and minimalist sounds, which is something that Death Grips specializes in. West is incredibly intense throughout most of "Yeezus", lead vocalist MC Ride basically screams on every song. There are clear similarities between West's most recent solo album and Death Grips and fans of "Yeezus" would most likely enjoy Death Grips as well. Death Grips is an experimental hip hop group from Sacramento, Calif. and they've released four projects, but their best project is undoubtedly 2012's "The Money Store." Death Grips is basically all of the weirdest parts of "Yeezus" times ten.

'Captain America' sequel proves high quality of Avengers films
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" does a lot of things right, but possibly the most outstanding aspect throughout is the level of quality, consistency and efficiency the Avengers brand has reached.
At this point, going to see one of these films is like tuning in to a new episode of your favorite TV show. We know the sort of things to expect from each one, how they're connected and we smirk at the references to characters and events in the universe that's been built. Yet we're still getting something new, exciting and thoroughly entertaining in each outing.
The first "Captain America" was by far the worst of the Avengers films, old-school in demeanor and cartoony in tone. But at least it tried to play things differently. This installment also hits a specific vibe (far more successfully), delivering a superhero spy game/conspiracy thriller with shades of Bourne and '70s political thrillers mixed into the explosive spectacle.
Still adjusting to the modern world, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) enters Captain America mode whenever S.H.I.E.L.D. needs him to drop into high-stakes situations and kick bad guy butt. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) joins him with more tactical espionage goals for Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), which our good ol' boy scout hero doesn't particularly agree with. The preventative measures of the agency, headed by Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford, smooth and a little too relaxed), make for simple yet relevant commentary on NSA methods and government secrets, while Cap

speaks of the honorable old ways.
Before long Fury is in a white knuckle car chase sequence, under attack from the forces of a mysterious assassin known only as the Winter Soldier. Fury tells Cap to trust no one, not even S.H.I.E.L.D., who label Captain America a fugitive when he goes on the run with Black Widow to solve the larger conspiracy at hand.
Luckily for viewers, Black Widow is actually a main character now: smart, sexy, nimbly taking out baddies while also giving the lonely Captain a foil and needed friend. They also recruit Falcon (Anthony Mackie, funny and cool) later on too, who joins their cause and flies around with an awesome set of robotic wings.
There are a few solid surprises in the screenplay but many are pretty obvious. As much as these Marvel movies have been nailed down to an effective formula, the seams of the structure definitely show here and the plot elements stick out some as the story beats often hit like a memorized routine. They're still enjoyable, just a bit too telegraphed in advance.
The Winter Soldier himself is a fierce villain, matching Captain America in strength and besting him in badass moves. The metallic robot arm certainly gives him'an edge there, though he feels some- underutilized, playing
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo comfortably incorporate humor, while giving characters an appreciated balance and stage the action with suspenseful closeness for the down-and-dirty fights and spacious running room for the bigger sequences. I could watch Cap sending cronies flying with powerful hits all day, but it's probably for the best that's a reserved type of stunt work here.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is one of the better Avengers movies, and by taking out more fantastical pieces present in other franchise installments and going the conspiracy thriller route, makes this superhero entry stay fresh in spite of its weaker points.
second fiddle to the conspiracy plot. But admittedly, having the trusted S.H.I.E.L.D. agency turn on Cap feels thrilling at all points, from having to escape from the headquarters on lockdown to the eventual large-scale set piece return there for the finale.
Glad to have ya back, Cap.

How to make scrambled eggs in the microwave
LED COTE
entertain@kansan.com
It's hard to find time in a college student's schedule to cook a real breakfast and we don't all have a nice, fully-stocked kitchen. So I'm going to share my technique for cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave. The beauty of this is that you can do it in a dorm room with no appliances other than a microwave and a small "dorm" fridge. It's also quick — it can be done in just five minutes.
If you've tried this before you might have found that the eggs were dry, rubbery or not cooked well, but I can show you how to avoid that. There are three keys to the process: moisture, stirring and knowing when to stop.
1. Grab a microwave-safe bowl big enough for all your eggs with room to spare. Let's say you're cooking two eggs, so the bowl you use for a whole can of soup should suffice. For the moisture, use a quarter cup of milk. You can also throw in a pat of butter if you like. That will improve the texture and flavor of the eggs, but it's optional. Whisk the milk and eggs together with a fork. Don't worry about the butter; it will melt soon enough.
2. Cook the eggs for three minutes on high in the microwave but microwaves vary so keep that in mind. The trick is to stop cooking in the middle to stir the eggs with the fork. Mix them up thoroughly, scraping them off the sides of the bowl. If you don't do this, the eggs around the edge of the bowl will overcook and the ones in the middle will undercook. Cooking more eggs will require not only more time, but more stops for stirring.
3. OK, if time is not a sure thing, how do you know when the eggs are done? Look at them. The trick here is that they're done before they look done. You should stop cooking when the eggs are mostly set up and cooked through
but just barely "wet" or "runny". This is because eggs soak up heat. While they release the heat they've stored and cool off, they will literally finish cooking themselves. So just let them set for a minute and they'll be good to go. If they don't look done in a minute or two, you can always give them another thirty seconds in the microwave but you can't uncook something that's over-cooked.
4. While the eggs are cooling, add salt and pepper for taste (I like them just fine without either) and fluff the eggs with the fork. If you want, you can mix in some shredded cheese at this point, or maybe even crumbled sausage or bacon (cooked of course). I like to cut mine out of the bowl, instead of fluffing them, and put half in a sandwich on whole wheat toast with a little light mayo and a slice of cheese. That works well because the eggs form up much like they do in those fast food breakfast sandwiches we all love, but this
way you can make your own that are cheaper and healthier.
Eggs are cheap, so this makes for a budget-friendly breakfast.
Another bonus is that this "recipe" scales well, which means you can make breakfast for your roommates or significant other with maybe some bacon, hash browns, biscuits and/or pancakes.I like to cook the eggs in the microwave while my biscuits and gravity are cooking.
Scrambled eggs are versatile. In addition to the suggestions I've made so far, some folks eat them with salsa (with or without a tortilla), put them in fried rice, pad thai or ramen noodles or mix them into hash with potatoes, ham and peppers.
So give it a try and let me know what you think with a tweet: @EdwardLCote

80-year-old Parisian zoo gets a makeover, to re-open to public
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Its gray, man-made mountain that might lure King Kong still protrodures over treetops, but nearly everything else has changed as Paris' zoo prepares to re-open after a multi-year, multimillion-euro (dollar) makeover.
The Zoological Park of Paris opened for a herd of journalists on Wednesday before a grand re-opening this weekend.
Gradually, the 80-year-old Paris attraction returned to life: Macaws cackled, red ibises perched on one foot on a greenhouse rail, and the stench of giraffe manure wafted through a cavernous indoor pen.
The 65-meter (215-foot) Grand Boulder, the zoo's main landmark (which actually covers a water tower) has been touched up, but isn't quite ready to host visitors for its panoramic views, officials
said. When it does it may help lure visitors out to the zoo's site near the eastern suburb of Vincennes, and away from Paris' many other highlights.
WHAT'S NEW?
When the zoo temporarily closed in 2008, its crumbling displays were a safety hazard. Without major refurbishment since its opening in 1934, the zoo was a concrete jungle of traditional animal cages. Now managers trumpet an unparalleled, top-to-bottom renovation: Winding pathways, lush vegetation, and 21st-century displays with fewer fences and cages — and clever landscaping to separate the wildlife from its watchers.
WHAT MAKES THIS ZOO DIFFERENT?
Instead of by type, the animals have been grouped by region of origin — and there are five: Madagascar, Patagonia, Guyana, Europe and Sahel-Sudan, the largest single area in the zoo and home to African savannah roamers. Rolling terrain and artificial rocks point to the effort to re-create the natural ecosystems, as best possible.
HOW DIFFICULT HAS THE REOPENING BEEN?
Most of the animals that left for the renovation won't be returning, so like modern-day counterparts of Noah the zoo keepers have had to bring in
new ones. To make sure the animals are happy in their new digs the staff are letting the creatures adapt at their own speed — sometimes a snail's pace.
BY THE NUMBERS
The zoo has some 180 species — including 74 bird and 42 mammal species — totaling over 1,000 animals (aside from the insects). Admission ranges from 11 euros (about $15) for kids aged 3 to 11, to 22 euros for adults.

Ming Dynasty 'chicken cup' sold for record $36M
ASSOCIATED PRESS
龍
HONG KONG — A Shanghai collector paid a record $36 million Tuesday for a rare Ming Dynasty cup that's touted as the "holy grail" of China's art world.
Sotheby's Deputy Chairman for Asia Nicholas Chow presents the Meiyintang "Chicken Cup" from the Chinese Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) during a press conference in Hong Kong, Tuesday, April 8. The cup sold for a record $36 million.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Several records have been set at Sotheby's spring sales in Hong Kong, continuing a trend of sky-high prices in the art world driven by the newly super-rich buyers in China and developing countries.
The dainty, white cup from the 15th century measures just 8 centimeters (3.1 inches) in diameter and is known as a "chicken cup" because it's decorated with a rooster and hen tending to their chicks. Sotheby's describes the cup as having flawless translucent sides with its lively scene painted continuously around its sides.

It was made during the reign of the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua Emperor, who ruled from 1465 to 1487. Sotheby's said only 17 such cups exist, with
"There's no more legendary object in the history of Chinese porcelain," said Nicholas Chow, Sotheby's deputy chairman for Asia. "This is really the holy grail when it comes to Chinese art."
The previous record for Chinese porcelain was set in 2010 when a gourd-shaped Qianlong vase sold for $32.4 million, Sotheby's said.
For such a prized item, bidding was limited to a handful of collectors and when the winning bid was hammered down at HK$250 million ($32.2 million), the standing-room-only crowd applauded. The auction house's commission brought the total to HK$281.2 million ($36.1 million). A pre-sale estimate was a maximum HK$300 million.

"Definitely the mood in
Hong Kong at this moment, in Asia, is buoyant," said Chow. Sotheby's identified the buyer as collector Liu Yiqian, and Chow said the cup would
likely go on display in Liu's Long Museum in Shanghai, which he and his wife, Wang Wei, opened in 2012.
Liu is a middle-school dropout who drove a cab before becoming a multimillionaire. Forbes estimates his fortune at $900 million, making him the 200th richest person in China.

Blind test shows soloists prefer new violins over old
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Ten world-class soloists put costly Stradivarius violins and new, cheaper ones to a blind scientific test. The results may seem off-key to musicians and collectors, but the new instruments won handily.
The idea was to unlock "the secrets of Stradivari," the study said.
Of the six old violins tested, five were by made by the famous Stradivari family in the 17th and 18th centuries. The newer violins were about 100 times cheaper, said study co-author Joseph Curtin, a Michigan violin maker. But the Strads and other older Italian violins have long been considered superior, even almost magical.
So the study tries to quantify something that is inherently subjective and personal, the quality of an instrument, said Curtin and lead author Claudia Fritz of Pierre and Marie Curie University in France. A few years earlier, the duo tested violins blind in an Indianapolis hotel room, but this one was more controlled and comprehensive, putting the instruments through their paces in a rehearsal room and concert hall just outside Paris. They even played with an orchestra, the results of which

will be part of a future study.
Even Curtin who makes new violins for a living, said he was surprised, adding the study was designed to eliminate bias in favor of either group of violins.
French soloist Solenne Paidassi said "there's a paranoia about new instruments," compared to "a glamour about old instruments."
Canadian soloist Susanne Hou has been playing a rare $6 million 269-year-old Guarneri del Gesu violin and knows what she likes and what she doesn't. During the testing, some of the violins she played for only a few and then held the instrument out at arm's length in noticeable distaste. But, like others, she was drawn to a certain unidentified violin. It was new.
And when the soloists were asked to guess whether the violins they were playing were old or new, the soloists got it wrong 33 times and right 31 times.
But when the lights were turned down, all that could be judged was the sound. Some violins were 300 years old. Some were days old.
"I was surprised that my top choice was new," said American violinist Giora Schmidt. "Studying music and violin in particular, it's almost ingrained in you thinking that the most successful violinists on the concert stage have always played old Italian instruments."
"I remember trying the old violins and the new violins among ourselves just before the testing got going and saying, 'You know maybe the old ones will win'," Curtin said.
"Whatever this is I would like to buy it," she said in video shot during the September 2012 experiment.
Schmidt, who normally plays a new violin with a little more down-to-Earth price tag of $30,000, liked a different new one, calling it extraordinary in a phone interview: "I said kiddingly to them I will write you a check for this fiddle right now."
Curtin said the researchers won't ever reveal which instruments were used to prevent conflict of interests or appear like a marketing campaign.
Hou, whose four-year loan of the classic Italian violin has expired, explained in an interview that finding the right instrument is so personal:
"There are certain things you can't explain when you fall in love."
Classic violins "are still very good, but that when a level playing field is provided for making honest comparisons, the very best of the contemporary instruments stand up remarkably well in their company," Woodhouse wrote in an email.
James Woodhouse, a professor of engineering and expert on musical instruments at the University of Cambridge in England, wasn't part of the study, but praised it as solid "and very tricky to carry out."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
And since Hou is shopping for violins this week, one of the restrictions on the experiment truly bothers her: The scientists wouldn't tell her who made the violin she fell for.

Pamela Phillips looks on in Pima County Superior Court Tuesday, April 8, in Tucson, Ariz. Phillips, a once-prominent socialite, was found guilty Tuesday of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the 1996 killing of her ex-husband.
Woman found guilty in 1996 hit man killing of ex-husband
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — A once-prominent socialite was found guilty Tuesday in the 1996 Tucson car bomb killing of her ex-husband after spending years abroad living a lavish lifestyle across Europe.
Pamela Phillips, 56, was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder after less than three days of deliberations that began last week. She faces life in prison at her May 22 sentencing hearing.
During the trial that began in February, Phillips' lawyers told jurors their client had nothing to gain from the death of businessman Gary Triano and that she was the victim of overzealous authorities who failed to follow other leads. They said Phillips was already a successful real estate broker with her own money, and suggested that Triano had numerous other enemies.
But prosecutors described Phillips as a gold digger who hired a former boyfriend to kill Triano to collect on a $2 million life insurance policy in order to maintain her extravagant taste for the good life.
Triano died when his car exploded as he was leaving a Tucson-area country club after playing golf. Authorities said Phillips paid Ronald Young $400,000 to carry out the hit. Young was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to two life terms in prison, but jurors weren't allowed to consider his case while determining Phillips' fate.
Prosecutors presented a portrait of a woman who grew accustomed to the high life and
found herself struggling finacially with an easy $2 million way out.
The state's case against her hinged largely on the purported secret arrangement between Phillips and Young, who the defendant dated while working as a real estate broker in Aspen, Colo., after she divorced Triano.
While Phillips claimed she had paid Young the $400,000 for assistance with business ventures and financial planning, prosecutors argued the money was clearly payment for the hit.
"He's not getting paid for business advice that she never takes — he's getting paid for murder," prosecutor Rick Unklesbay said in closing arguments.
During the trial, in addition to witnesses, prosecutors used financial records and telephone conversations that Young secretly recorded during talks with Phillips. In one recording, Young appears to grow angry over not receiving his payments, telling Phillips, "You're going to be in a woman's prison for murder."
Defense lawyers said the calls were merely the ramblings of a con man.
One prosecution witness, a longtime friend of Phillips, testified that Phillips once told her how easy it would be to hire someone to kill her husband.
The defense downplayed the testimony, noting Phillips was distraught at the time after having a fight with Triano during which he threatened her. Phillips' lawyers also called into question the witness' memory.
Triano was a developer who made millions investing in Indian bingo halls and slot-machine parlors in Arizona and California before Congress authorized tribes to open full-blown casinos. But after the real estate market declined and he lost control of his gambling interests, Triano went broke.
That's around the time Phillips filed for divorce, prosecutors said.
The couple, who had two children together, separated, but Phillips remained the beneficiary of Triano's insurance policy, paying the premiums herself.
She eventually moved to Aspen and worked in real estate before meeting Young, and prosecutors said the two would later hatch a plan to kill Triano and collect on the policy.
After the killing, Young was on the run from a warrant for his arrest in Colorado on fraud charges while Phillips was sending him money for the hit.
The investigation into Triano's killing stalled until Young's arrest in 2005 in Florida on the fraud charges. That's when both Phillips and Young became the key suspects in the killing. Authorities say he kept detailed records of his financial transactions with Phillips, including recorded telephone conversations and invoices.
By then, Phillips had received the $2 million insurance payout and had left Aspen for a life overseas.
She was arrested in Austria in 2009 and extradited to Tucson. Her case was delayed after a judge ruled she was mentally unfit to stand trial at the time.
California bill that would end orca shows put on hold
NATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A California bill that sought to end killer whale shows at SeaWorld in San Diego and phase out their captivity was put on hold Tuesday, dousing an escalating fight between animal activists and a major tourist attraction. The bill's author, Democrat Richard Bloom of Santa Monica, agreed during the bill's first hearing before the water, parks and wildlife committee to revisit his proposal after further study. As a result, AB2140 is dead for this year and the soonest lawmakers could vote on the proposal would be mid-2015 following additional hearings.
Bloom was inspired by the 2013 documentary "Blackfish" in which filmmakers argue that captivity and mistreatment of orcas make the animals aggressive and has led to attacks on trainers. It examined the events leading to the 2010 death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in SeaWorld Orlando when the whale Tilikum pulled her under water.
It's unfortunate that much of the conversation has been fueled ... by fear and invective and misinformation," Bloom said.
The bill would have banned the import, export and breeding of orcas while requiring SeaWorld San Diego to move its 10 killer whales out of
tanks and into larger sea pens. Witnesses for the marine park said that was not a viable option, and lobbyist Scott Wetch told lawmakers the bill would have likely resulted in SeaWorld sending its orcas to parks outside the state.
Public outrage over the movie drove 1.2 million people to sign a petition supporting the bill that was delivered Monday to the Assembly by three elementary school students who successfully stopped an overnight school field trip to SeaWorld.
Dozens of animal rights activists packed the hearing room on Tuesday to support the bill, with more who were unable to get seats waiting outside.
SeaWorld dismissed their contention that orcas are too intelligent and too large for captivity.
"That argument is not based on credible peer-reviewed science," John Reilly, president of SeaWorld San Diego Park, said in an interview. "It's based on emotion and a propaganda film."
Business and tourist groups supported SeaWorld, saying it provides thousands of jobs and attracts tourists to San Diego.
John Hargrove, a former SeaWorld trainer in Texas and San Diego who appeared in "Blackfish," told lawmakers that orcas appeared agitated and pulled him under water multiple times.
SeaWorld has mounted an aggressive public relations campaign to discredit the film for relying on what it calls unqualified former employees and biased experts.
The publicly traded company bought newspaper ads, set up a website countering "Blackfish," and criticized the film on Twitter. SeaWorld says it expects record revenue in 2013 even after the documentary aired on CNN and at the Sundance Film Festival.
Recent filings, however,
showed a dip in attendance
at the start of the year that
the company attributes to a
change in how holidays fall in
the calendar year.
Witnesses for SeaWorld said the animals receive the highest level of care and provide opportunities for research to help conserve killer whales in the wild.
Naomi Rose, a marine mammal scientist with the Animal Welfare Institute, a sponsor of the bill, said she was disappointed by the delay but believes the science will ultimately show orcas are ill-suited for captivity.
"Nobody likes to wait, but I've been doing this for over 20 years," she told reporters after the hearing. "I'm playing the long game."
Rose said she had been working with lawmakers in Texas and Florida to introduce similar legislation.

Male stripper did show at NY nursing home
WEST BABYLON, N.Y. — An 85-year-old woman with dementia had a male stripper gyrate in front of her against her will at her suburban New York nursing home, according to a lawsuit filed by her family but the facility's lawyer said Tuesday the performance had been requested by its residents.
John Ray, the attorney for Bernice Youngblood and her family, said the woman's son found a photograph of a man in white briefs dancing in front of his mother when he visited her in January 2013 at East Neck Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
The photo, which Ray distributed to reporters, shows Youngblood putting money into the dancer's waistband. Ray said Youngblood had been urged to participate and did so against her will.
Franklin Youngblood, who attended the news conference outside the Long Island facility, said he immediately went to a nursing supervisor for an explanation. The lawsuit claims the nurse attempted to grab the photo from him.
Ray said Bernice Youngblood, who herself had worked as a health aide for the elderly when she was younger, had her dignity taken away when "nursing home employees subjected her to this disgraceful sexual perversion."
Bernice Youngblood, who attended the press conference in a wheelchair with some of her relatives at her side, mumbled in a barely audible voice that she felt "terrible" and "ashamed" about what happened, but had no specific recollection of the details of the incident.
Ray said he has yet to determine who took the photograph, or how it got in the woman's bedroom drawer.
Howard Fensterman, an attorney representing the facility, said a 16-member resident committee had requested the September 2012 performance and the nursing home paid the $250 fee.
Fensterman said the facility's management reserves the right to reject a request by the residents' committee, particularly if the activity were deemed detrimental.
"But in this instance these are adults who wanted to have this activity, they requested it, they

Reporters and cameramaster josted in a large scrum around Fensterman and Ray when they briefly became embroiled in an argument after Ray presented his counterpart with a copy of the lawsuit complaint.
voted on it and the nursing home approved of it," he said.
Fensterman also chided Ray for claiming that Bernice Youngblood was suffering from dementia, while at the same time noting the woman signed a power of attorney document claiming she was competent to sign it.
"Ms. Youngblood suffers from partial dementia," Ray said. "She has moments of partial lucidity."
Ray said Youngblood's son disputed that claim and, in any case, that does not mean Bernice Youngblood was not harmed by what she saw.
Fensterman said the girlfriend of one of Youngblood's sons had taken her to the stripper show, and not nursing home employees.

Israel bars Palestinian Olympian from leaving Gaza
JAMES BARRISON
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel has barred 30 runners, including an Olympic athlete, from leaving the Gaza Strip to participate in a marathon later this week, highlighting Israel's tight restrictions on travel in and out of the Hamas-ruled territory, Palestinian officials said Tuesday.
In this April 5, 2008 file photo, Nader Masri exercises in Gaza City. On April 8, 2014 Israel's high court upheld a decision by the military to prevent Masri, a Gaza Olympian, from leaving the coastal strip to participate in a marathon in the West Bank. Israel says only humanitarian hardship cases are allowed to leave Gaza.
In the case of the Olympic runner, Nader Masri, the travel ban was upheld Tuesday by Israel's Supreme Court. Masri, 34, participated in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Separately, 36 young musicians requested to leave Gaza for a weeklong music competition in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, but were also denied permission, organizers said. An Israeli defense official said a final decision has not been made. The competition begins Wednesday.
The cases underscored Israel's restrictions on Gaza, which human rights activists argue amount to collective punishment and are often arbitrary. They say the travel ban is part of an Israeli attempt to sever ties between Gaza and the West Bank, territories that lie on opposite ends of Israel and are sought by the Palestinians for a future state, along with east Jerusalem.
most of Gaza's 1.7 million people cannot travel abroad. Israel considers Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, a terrorist group.
The Palestinian Olympic Committee said it had asked Israel for permits for the 30 runners to leave Gaza so they could attend the second annual international marathon in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Friday.
Israel and Gaza's other neighbor, Egypt, have severely limited access to Gaza since the territory was seized by the Islamic militant Hamas in 2007. Virtually all exports from Gaza are banned and
Itidal al-Mugrabi, a senior official in the committee, said all requests were denied last month. She said the Bethlehem event, which will also include shorter races, was expected to draw some 700 runners from Europe in addition to local athletes.
After being denied a permit, Masri approached the Israeli rights group Gisha, which appealed to Israel's Supreme Court.
The judges ruled Tuesday that they could not intervene in the defense minister's policy considerations, but suggested the military consider more exemptions from the travel ban.
Masri said he was disappointed.
"The ban no doubt limits my ability to challenge other champions from elsewhere." Masri said. He said he trains daily in the streets and three times a week in a local gym.
Ostensibly, Masri should have stood a good chance of getting the exit permit even under Israel's stringent criteria.
Those permitted to leave Gaza, include members of the Palestinian Olympic team and the Palestinian soccer team, according to guidelines published in 2011 by the branch of Israel's military dealing with implementing the policy toward Gaza.
According to that list, exceptions are also made for Gaza residents seeking to attend events in the West Bank
sponsored by the Palestinian Authority, the self-rule government of Hamas' political rival. President Mahmoud Abbas.
Maj. Guy Inbar, an Israeli defense official, said Masri's request was denied because it "does not meet the rules for exceptions for sports events."
Inbar said the Bethlehem marathon sponsored by the Palestinian Authority "has
political overtones," but did not elaborate. He initially said that others who applied for permits were support staff, but then said he needed to check that information.
Eitan Diamond, the head of Gisha, said underlying Israel's policy is an attempt to "create a divide between the West Bank and Gaza, to remove Gaza from the consciousness of the Israeli public, to push
Gaza away."
Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in 1967. It withdrew from Gaza in 2005, but continues to control access by air, land and sea.
Much of the international community considers the lands captured in 1967 as a single territorial unit, in contrast to Israel's claim that Gaza is no longer occupied.

Family members of Oscar Pistorius, including uncle Arnold Pistorius, right, cry as they listen to Oscar Pistorius testifying in court in Pretoria, South Africa, Tuesday, April 8. Pistorius is charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentines Day 2013.
Pistorius wails during his testimony, adjourns court
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRETORIA, South Africa — A subdued Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday described dinner at home, chatting and looking at cell phone photos with Reeva Steenkamp on the last night of her life. Then he erupted in anguished howls and heaving sobs while testifying at his murder trial about the moments when he says he realized he shot his girlfriend through a closed toilet door.
The court in Pretoria, the South African capital, adjourned because of the star athlete's breakdown. The trial was to reconvene on Wednesday.
Tuesday marked the first time he has spoken publicly about the details of the fatal shooting. Prosecutors call Pistorius' story an intricate lie and maintain his intentionally killed his 29-year-old girl-friend, a model and reality TV show star, after an argument.
Led by defense lawyer Barry Roux for the second day of his testimony, the runner provided more detail about
his timeline of events leading up to the shooting. He said he fell asleep between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. and woke up early the next morning.
"No, I can't," Pistorius said he replied. Then he said stepped out to the balcony to get fans, and when he returned to the darkened bedroom he heard a noise from the bathroom.
He also testified he heard a door slam, which he said he took as "confirmation" that there was an intruder in the bathroom, and fired four shots at the toilet cubicle with his 9 mm pistol.
At that point, he said, Steen-kamp asked him: "Can't you sleep?"
Pistorius said he felt fearful and vulnerable as he moved to the bathroom, walking only on his stumps. He said he was screaming for Steenkamp to call the police.
"That's the moment that everything changed," Pistorius testified.

After the shots, Pistorius said, he searched for Steenkamp in his bedroom, patting
"It was at that point ... that it first dawned on me that maybe it was Reeva in the toilet," Pistorius said. He said he screamed for help.
In a dramatic scene before the packed courtroom Tuesday, Pistorius left briefly at one point to change out of his dark suit and into a white shirt and shorts, similar to the clothes he was wearing when he killed Steenkamp.
Prompted by his lawyer, Pistorius then took off his prosthesis and stood on his stumps by the bullet-marked toilet door, which has remained in the courtroom for much of the trial. It appeared to be an effort by the defense to illustrate what they describe as the Olympian's vulnerability at the time of the shooting.

Campus police made 35 arrests by Tuesday morning on charges including breach of peace, interfering with police and vandalism, university spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said. Of those arrested, 20 were UConn students, she said.
Connecticut students celebrate their team's 60-54 victory over Kentucky in the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball championship game Monday, April 7, in Storrs, Conn.
"By far, most of our students have conducted themselves safely and responsibly," UConn police Chief Barbara O'Connor said.
Most of the property damage was minor and no serious injuries had been reported, officials said.
More than 10,000 students shook the stands inside Gampel, erupted in cheers and stormed the arena floor as the Huskies won their second national championship in four years.
"I'm just so happy to be a Husky right now," said Mike Butkus, a 21-year-old senior from Naugauduck. "So much pride. The last 20 years, you'd be hard-pressed to find a program more successful
than us."
The victory comes a year after the Huskies were barred from March Madness because of grades problems. They never trailed in the final.
"This energy is like something I've never felt in my entire life," Ricky O'Neill, a freshman from New York, said Monday night. "And we're going to do this all again tomorrow."

Spurs without Parker, lose to Timberwolves

MINNEAPOLIS — Ricky Rubio scored 23 points and Gorgui Dieng had 12 points and 15 rebounds, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 110-91 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

The Spurs (60-18) entered the night with a 4½-game lead over Oklahoma City in the race for the best record in the NBA.
Manu Ginobili left in the third quarter with a left calf contusion, and the Spurs were just 4 for 17 from 3-point range in a listless performance. The Spurs haven't clinched home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, but there's no doubt they would like to seal that up after losing Games 6 and 7 of the NBA Finals in Miami last season.
With the turnovers and clanked shots piling up early
— San Antonio trailed by as many as 28 in the third quarter — Popovich played Tim Duncan just 20 minutes and went deep into his bench as he often does.
The Timberwolves were playing without Nikola Pekovic (ankle), Kevin Martin (heel), Chase Budinger (ankle) and Shabazz Muhammad (knee), and Love went just 5 for 15 from the field. But Rubio was more aggressive than he's ever been looking for his own shot and the rookie Dieng stood up well against Duncan in the paint to help the Wolves grab control early.
There was a sparse crowd for the game that was originally supposed to be played in Mexico City as part of the NBA's initiative to expand
its global reach. But originally scheduled meeting in December had to be canceled after a malfunctioning generator sent plumes of smoke into the arena about 90 minutes before tipoff.
The Spurs were disappointed to have to come up to Minnesota and see what would have been a treasured four-day break near the end of the season interrupted by the trip. And once the game started, they showed little of the fire or focus that have been hallmarks of their remarkable season.
They turned the ball over 10 times in the first half and shot under 37 percent to fall behind 54-34 at the break, their lowest point total in a half this season.

- balls and strikes, check swings and interference calls are still a no-go - but MLB executive Tony La Russa estimates that close to 90 percent of potential calls will now be challengeable. The idea may seem fine on paper, but actually carrying it out has been a different story.
With the game already facing criticism for its increasingly slow pace, a primary concern for league officials is ensuring that disputes are handled quickly — 60 to 90 seconds is their targeted time for all replays.
Not only have the actual replays taken longer than this, but managers have predictably found a way to elongate the process even further.
Following a questionable call, managers slowly mosey onto the field to have a "chat" with the umpire responsible for said call. The chat — which
likely includes topics such as dinner reservations, offseason vacationing plans and the latest developments on "House of Cards" — is used to stall while a bench coach calls upstairs to see whether a replay is warranted. After a minute or so, he flashes either a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" for the manager to challenge the play or simply walk back to the dugout.
As long he doesn't actually use a challenge, a manager is free to pull this shenanigan as many times as he pleases throughout the course of a game. If this sounds a tad ridiculous, that's because it is. But time issues aren't the only drawback of the new system.
The change eliminates one of baseball's most fabled phenomenons: the managerial meltdown. The sight of a skipper sprinting out of the dugout, placing his face within inches of an ump's face while unintentionally spewing saliva into his face to argue a ruling is nearly as old as the game
itself. Properly executed, it can re-energize an entire team and stadium, completely shifting the game's momentum.
It can be one of the most entertaining events in baseball for purists and lukewarm fans alike. But with the newly revised replay system, the meltdown will become obsolete. No more Earl Weaver shouting absurd obscenities at any umpire within a mile radius. No more red-faced
Lou Piniella angrily kicking dirt on a hapless third-base ump's shoes. No more Bobby Cox getting tossed from Game 6 of the World Series.
No, all of that will be replaced by the aforementioned stalling technique. Exhilarating stuff indeed.
It's a curious move for a league that's routinely knocked for lacking excitement and action; increasing idle time by expanding instant replay won't exactly broaden its appeal. And broadening its appeal has never been more important after the alarming findings of an ESPN survey conducted last month.
The survey showed that, among children 12-17 years old, Major League Soccer is equally as popular as MLB in the United States. Wait, what? A league that gathers mid-level talent in a sport generally not considered
THE BREW
among our country's favorites has equaled MLB in terms of popularity? Not a good sign for baseball's future. Either the game is becoming less accessible than ever or MLB's Director of Marketing needs to be fired. Id
speculate that it's the former.
All considered, I just don't buy that the benefit of maybe reversing a call every other game is worth the blowback and pains of maintaining the system. Yes, expanded instant replay has worked fairly well in both the NBA and NFL, but there's simply no room for it in a slower-paced sport like baseball. It's bad for the game, it's bad for managers and it's bad for the fans.
League execs will eventually come to this realization as well — hopefully sooner than later. Don't be shocked if commissioner Bud Selig and league owners revisit the issue next winter after seeing game durations increase to an all-time high this season.

COMMENTARY MLB stadiums losing fans
By Blair Sheade sports@kansan.com
According to baseball-reference.com, the stadium attendance throughout the MLB increased from 2013 to 2014 with an average 76,234 more people attending the opening series than the previous season, but the major stadiums such as Yankee Stadium, Great American Ball Park and Comerica Park drew a reduced
Even though they didn't make the playoffs in 2013, the New York Yankees were baseball's most valuable team in 2014 with the current value of $2.85 billion. Yankee Stadium had 1,372 less people attend this season's home debut against the Baltimore Orioles than in 2013. This shouldn't come by surprise to Yankee fans because, last season, Yankee Stadium had an average attendance of 40,489 fans, which was only 80 percent full.
Teams that advanced into the playoffs witnessed smaller crowds than the previous year, as well.
The Cincinnati Reds, who lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2013 National League wild card playoff game, remain the only team to always open the season with a home game.
+
For decades, Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati threw the first pitch because Cincinnati was home of baseball's first professional team, and the city of Cincinnati designated the opening day of the baseball season a "city holiday"
If the whole city of Cincinnati was focused on the Reds during opening day, why was the attendance down during the opening week? In the opening three-game series against the 2013 National League Champions St. Louis Cardinals, Great American Ball Park was 75 percent full. On average, the Reds-Cardinals opening series had 2,013-less fans per game attend the games compared to the 2013 opening series.
The 2013 American League Series runner-up Detroit Tigers encountered a decrease in attendance during opening week. The opening series against the Kansas City Royals drew an average crowd of 32,380 people, which were 4,808 less people per game from the opening series in 2013.
In 2013, Comerica Park was ranked fourth in attendance with an average crowd of 38,066, which was 94 percent of full capacity.
The opening series just isn't as important anymore as in year's past. Even though more people are going to season-openers in 2014 than 2013, 10 out of the 26 teams that have played a home game this season, have shown a decline in attendance. The team with the greatest differential in opening week attendance was the Texas Rangers. The Globe Life Park in Arling-

Kansas loses early lead, falls to Iowa
BEN FELDERSTEIN sports@kansan.com
Coach Ritch Price circled his team up in the outfield after the game. It could not be determined what he was saying exactly, but the echoes of his voice could be heard throughout Iowa's Duane Banks Field.
The Jayhawks were able to get out on top early against the Hawkeyes. Freshman catcher Michael Tinsley provided most of the offense for
Price declined to comment after the game.
Kansas lost the opening game of its mid-week series to the Iowa Hawkeyes yesterday by a score of 3-5.
Tinsley and sophomore designated hitter Jacob Boylan each had RBIs in the third inning to give Kansas a 2-0 advantage. The Jayhawks were getting opportunities early, as they left nine runners on base through the first five innings of the game.
Their opportunities dwindled as the game continued, as the Jayhawks managed to leave only two more runners on base in the finals four innings of the contest.
Freshman John Hander got the start for Kansas because of the recent injuries and over-usage of the pitching staff. Hander entered the game with a 3.24 ERA in four
Hander was dealing early in the game, as he was able to shut out the Hawkeyes through the first 4.2 innings. Hander's longest appearance of the season before last night came against New Mexico when he went 4.1 innings, allowing two earned runs.
appearances on the season thus far.
Kansas, driving in two runs.
Michael Tinsley entered the game with a .349 batting average, with nine RBIs in 43 at bats. Kansas has been able to confidently sit senior catcher Kaliana Eldredge when he needs rest because of Tinsley's production off the bench.
Designated hitter Dan Potempa did the damage for the
Hawkeyes, as he drove in four runs on two hits, including a three-RBI double in the fifth.
Junior right-hander Dakota Smith came on in the fifth inning to relieve Hander. Smith finished out the fifth and pitched the sixth and the seventh, allowing one more insurance run for Iowa.
Hander was unable to go deep into the game, forcing Kansas to go to the pen early. The Jayhawks have relied heavily on their starting pitching this season. Kansas usually wins when its starters have gone deep into the game and had quality starts.
Since conference play started, the Jayhawks are 9-8, and their pitching staff has
allowed more than three runs only two times in those nine wins. On the contrary, they have allowed five or more runs four times in their eight losses.
Sasha Kuebel earned the win for Iowa in relief, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing only one run. Tyler Radtke came on to record his first save of the season in the ninth inning. The Hawkeyes pitching staff combines for 10 strikeouts on the evening.
Kansas will look to bounce back against the Hawkeyes tomorrow to split the mid-week series and avoid getting swept in its second mid-week series of the season.

Weis makes improvements in offseason
CONNOR OBERKROM sports@kansan.com
When Charlie Weis first arrived at Kansas, he dismissed several players from the previous regime. It was a treacherous climb to fill in the crevasses of a depleted roster.
"What I really didn't factor in when I came here is when I got rid of all those guys how I was really taking a bad team and making it worse," Weis said. "Now, you did it for the right reason. The flip side is that there's nothing wrong with doing it."
"Fortunately our roster is pretty full — not that we're loaded with talent at every position," Weis said. "But I think that is no longer the issue, the infrastructure now has been rebuilt with a predominantly junior-senior team that you're playing with. Usually [those are] the teams that win."
Weis failed to realize how devastating it was to revamp an entire roster and start from scratch.
It's paid dividends for Weis and opened the door for more depth on the roster and provided a jumpstart to have his fingerprints on the entire line up.
Weis' third spring game as head coach will begin at 1 p.m. at Memorial Stadium on Saturday as a full scrimmage will take place with four 15 minute quarters.
"It's almost unfair to judge the quarterback position when you haven't solved a lot of the problems." Weis said. "The quarterback is the easiest player to blame."
Weis revealed on Tuesday in a press conference that the quarterback competition consists of different tiers.
The transition to a no-huddle offense implemented by new offensive coordinator John Reagan has been a long task and is still in the beginning stages.
Kansas has room to improve coming off a 3-9 season.
Weis was referring to Jake Heaps who struggled last year and forced Weis to turn to freshman quarterback Montell Cozart.
"On offense obviously the whole thing was getting consistent." Weis said. "They haven't spent time game planning; they haven't spent time scheming against our defense. It's been more about installation and getting used to the procedure of running the no huddle offense."
Refusing to announce your starting quarterback for as
While quarterbacks are an easy target, the operation of the offense is inextricably linked. Everybody has a responsibility according to Weis.
Offense has been a constant project for Weis since he arrived to Lawrence.
The offense also endured huge deficiencies from the wide receiver and offensive line position last season, but Weis has witnessed serious headway being made at those spots.
If we had to play in two weeks it would be between 9 [Heaps] and 2 [Cozart], "Weis said. "I wouldn't rule out possibility of both of them playing because they do different things. They've separated themselves by their play from the pack."
Damon Martin, who played at guard last year, was so strong that it afforded them the opportunity to move him to right tackle next to Mike Smithburg.
Much of the talk last year of the stalling offense that couldn't muster enough points to protect the defense was the abundant drops from wide receivers. Weis, howev-
"It's been pretty constant," he said. "You unusually built continuity in the spring that normally doesn't play out that way."

long as possible is an advantage according to Weis. The two starters from last year remain ahead in the race.
The offensive line in the spring has been relatively uniform, which is unfamiliar for Weis since he has been at Kansas.

Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Joel Embiid announces he will enter the 2014 NBA draft at a press conference in Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday. Embiid is the second Kansas freshman to enter the draft this season.

A CHOICE OF CONSCIENCE
Stav or NBA: Joel Embiid declares for draft, guaranteed top five pick
BLAKE SCHUSTER
sports@kansan.com
Moments after Joel Embiid declared for the NBA draft, Kansas coach Bill Seli took a minute to explain the circumstances.
"He wanted to come back," Self said. "If college was paying him five million a year, and the NBA was paying five million a year, there's no question what he would've done."
So Embiid made what Self called the "safe play," not that the other side didn't weigh on him.
It took weeks of Embid gathering information: talking to his family, his coaches and
his mentor, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute — an NBA veteran and fellow Cameroon native — before deciding.
It took days of fans begging Embiid to stay on Twitter and even more time with the teammates he would be leaving behind until his thoughts clicked.
It took a phone call from Embiid's idol, NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon, to help the freshman come to a conclusion. Although, that might not really have helped. Embiid said he was so excited to talk to Olajuwon he doesn't even remember what they talked about.
Really, it took the reality
of Embidid's development as a player and what the NBA could do for him.
By last Sunday, the decision was made, whether or not there was a better option.
"At this rate he improved.
If something happened next year, it wouldn't weigh on Self's conscious. A week after seeing Andrew Wiggins off to the NBA draft, Self put on the same wholesome smile for

over a short period of time, just think about what you could be at a year from now," Self said. "The whole thing is a top five pick is guaranteed. What if something bad happens next
And Embid did his best to give his Kansas legacy the closure it needed.
Embiid and wished him well.
"I really love this place," Embiid said. "The fans are
crazy. It means a lot. They've showed me nothing but love. I'll miss this place."
During the season, this wasn't a day Embid allowed himself to think about. While the hype and rumors grew, Embiid stayed focused.
It's what allowed him to go from a back up, to a starter, to an invaluable asset, finishing the season with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

"I want to be remembered as a guy who gave everything while playing," Embib said. "I just wanted to win."
But once the season was over, Embiid worried about something else. He worried
rie worried he was letting everyone down if he left.
about the fans, and the teammates and the town he called home for the past year.
"We told him all along if he leaves that won't make us mad," Self said. "You need to feel good about whatever decision you make. Don't look back."
Despite what Self called a feeling of incompleteness surrounding Emiiid's career at Kansas, there was no more time to change it.
"The financial opportunity is too great."

Students who use tobacco may need to find somewhere else to smoke, dip or chew in coming years, because of a new initiative that is looking to make the University a tobaccao-free campus.
A small gathering of University students and faculty met in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union yesterday to meet with the representatives of the KU Tobacco-Free Campus Initiative, and discuss the potential for developing a cultural change to eliminate the use of tobacco on campus. According to a survey conducted by the Initiative in Spring 2013, 59 percent of faculty and staff, and 64 percent of students were in favor of a stricter tobacco policy on campus.
Ty Patterson, the executive director of the National Center for Tobacco Policy, said the decision and implementation of a campus tobacco ban requires all people involved to use critical thinking to evaluate the decision.

"It's not a new concept in higher ed. to be engaged in this process, but we want to do it in a very comprehensive, inclusive way as a change process, not just throw out a policy," said Ola Faucher, the University's Human Resources director, during the forum. "We want to engage people, talk with a lot of people, find out what the issues are, what the ideas are, and do it in a way that represents a cultural change, and take into account all of the issues that come up."
944 Massachusetts Street
you can learn about tobacco that will help you think about this process perhaps a little "differently". Patterson said during the open forum discussion.
Those in attendance raised their questions and concerns about the ways that a policy change would affect students who live on campus, and the enforcement of the policy and penalization of violators. They also shared some of the ways that their personal health is currently affected by the presence of second-hand smoke on campus.
are made worse by secondhand smoke, and, according to a Center for Disease Control report, second-hand smoke affects pregnant women and their children, ranging from asthma attacks to sudden infant death syndrome. The report also states the secondhand smoke leads to heart disease, stroke and lung cancer in adults.
Patterson also presented a statistic that 10 percent of personal aliments in the world
Emma Halling, the student body vice president, said that the policy would affect some students more than it would affect others.
"I understand that the alleged benefits are going to be widely publicized, but for me — in my position — it's really
important to air concerns that may otherwise not be brought to the floor." Halling said. "For me, that is the fact that students who live on campus are going to have to change their behavior more than students who live off campus." Halling also voiced her concerns over the effectiveness of producing a culture change on campus. She added that a growing international population at the University might find it harder to adapt to a tobacco-free environment on campus, due to the different ways many cultures view cigarette smoking.

5K raises funds for special needs kids
PAIGE STINGLEY
news@kansan.com
The KU chapter of Hannah and Friends will host the first annual "Finish on the 50 5K" this Sunday, April 13. The race will run through campus and finish in Memorial Stadium at the 50-yard line.
Hannah and Jayhawk Friends is an organization that works to bring attention and compassion to children with disabilities. Hannah and Friends was originally started by Charlie Weis and his wife Maura when Weis was a coach at Notre Dame. The inspiration for the organization comes from Weis' 19-year-old daughter, Hannah, who is a special needs child. When Weis came to the University he wanted to continue the organization but
make it unique to this school, so he named it Hannah and lavhawk Friends.
The money raised from the race will provide funding that will allow Hannah and Jayhawk Friends to put on more events next year to continue to bring attention to this cause. This year the organization put on several dances for children at Cottonwood Incorporated, hosted events with Natural Ties and put on a Special Olympics football clinic with the University football team.
Hannah and Jayhawk Friends works frequently with Cottonwood Incorporated, a not-for-profit organization that provides services for people with developmental disabilities.
"The main goal of Hannah and Jayhawk Friends is to raise
compassion and awareness in the Lawrence and Topeka communities for people living with disabilities," said Katie Griffiths, the vice-president of the organization.
Hannah and Jayhawk
"The athletes genuinely
the vehicles genuinely care about the organization and are invested in seeing it change the lives of the participants."
CORBIN BARNDS Hannah and Jayhawk Friends
Friends is a young organization on campus but has already seen much success.
"We are really excited about the outcomes of the events we have put on this year," said
Corbin Barnds, president of the organization. "And as we continue to grow we will be able to host bigger events to reach even more of the Lawrence community."
Once football season is over, Weis and his team become very involved with the organization.
"It is amazing to see how involved everyone on the football team and staff is in this organization," Barnds said. "The athletes genuinely care about the organization and are invested in seeing it change the lives of the participants."
Runners and volunteers are still needed for the race on Sunday. Links to sign up can be found on the Hannah and Jayhawk Friends Facebook page or on Twitter via @jayhawks4hannah.
COACH
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN Kansas head football coach Charlie Weis started Hannah and Jayhawk Friends in 2012.
Registration for the race will start at 8 a.m. at Memorial Stadium. The race will begin at 9 a.m.

STUDENT SENATE
Lobbying effort supports student housing
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
The Panhellenic Council president received Student Senate support last week on a resolution that outlined the measures of the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act. U.S. House Bill 1449 would permit tax-exempt donations to infrastructure improvements in nonuniversity owned, nonprofit student housing entities, such as fraternities, sororities, KU Hillel and Chabad Center for Jewish Life.
PHC President Maggie Young, a junior from Olathe
and member of Chi Omega, will join 102 fraternity and sorority members from across the nation as part of the Fraternal Governmental Relations Coalition to lobby the bill in Washington, D.C., at the end of April.
"For me, it's about bettering somebody's life anywhere at some point down the line and making their housing more affordable," Young said.
The expected result of the bill would be an increase of donations to nonprofit student housing because donors tend to favor tax-exempt opportunities. Additional funding would
cover necessary infrastructure improvements such as leaky roofs, fire alarm installations and other repairs, which could lessen the extra payments students normally make.
"If there is a fraternity or sorority on campus that doesn't have strong alumni ties but needs a sprinkler system or other things fixed, that would be great for them to get the necessary money for that," said Eric Hurtt, Student Senate government relations director and not a voting senator. "I just don't know how bad the conditions are."
During Young's freshman and sophomore years, she said
birds flew into her bedroom through holes in the ceiling and roof. Erin McHale, a graduate student and member of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors, said the bill is about improving the things that sustain chapter houses and maintain a safe living environment.
"It's the disparity in the tax code that makes housing improvements expensive, especially at the University of Kansas, where a lot of the buildings are going on 100 years old and they need some updates." McHale said.
University belong to a fraternity or sorority, and those living in Greek housing would be positively affected by the act, Young said.
Eighteen percent of undergraduates at the
Even though the bill has a 4 percent chance of being enacted, Young fully supports it regardless. She said she wants to do whatever she can to improve the living situations in Greek housing.
Student governments from University of Cincinnati, University of Illinois and Binghamton University have also supported resolutions that support the measures of the bill.

How to protect baby animals this spring
ENVIRONMENT
Spring is upon us. The flowers are blooming. temperatures are
temperatures are rising and babies are abundant. Being informed on the behaviors of our animal friends during the spring is more than just enthralling, but truly necessary for the safety of the new additions to the world.
Spring brings two familiar baby animals: birds and bunnies. When you see a baby animal, your first instinct may be to "rescue" it. However, you may be putting the animal in a worse situation than it was in prior to your interference.
I've taken information from flowcharts from Shannon K. Jacobs' "Healers of the Wild: People Who Care for Injured and Orphaned Wildlife," which are posted on the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association website.
By Jenny Stern
opinion@kansan.com
If you find a baby bird, and it isn't sick or hurt, the mode of action that you take depends on the developmental stage of the
bird. If it does not have feathers, it is a nestling and needs help. Either put it back in the nest if you can find it (no, the bird's mother cannot "smell" you and will not abandon its baby) or create a substitute nest. Watch the nest and see if a parent is visiting and feeding the baby. If the baby bird has feathers, it is a fledgling and should be left alone unless it is directly in danger of cats or dogs, in which case you can put it in the bushes or tree.
If you have found a baby bunny, check to see if the nest has been damaged. If so, create a nest using a shallow depression and grass, making sure to hide the babies with some grass because the mothers only come back at dawn and dusk. Bunnies that have their eyes open and can
hop do not need help
It's sad when people bring these baby animals into the nature center because it often results in a lost life. I completely understand that some circumstances are appropriate for intervention. However, intervening without adequate knowledge is irresponsible and cruel.
Don't let their cuteness fool you. Raising baby animals is often a heartwrenching process because it is extremely unlikely for them to survive without their mothers. If you are ever unsure of how to help a baby animal, call the nature center and explain the situation and they will give advice on how to act responsibly.
Educating yourself on the correct procedure for helping animals is crucial and will be applicable as long as we share this earth with the bunnies and birds.

FFA OF THE DAY What if the buses were trains like in Divergent and everyone just jumped off and on.
POLITICS
Don't be apathetic about elections
Every year, Student Senate elections come and go, sweeping new ideas and fresh faces to power. However, one aspect remains constant throughout every election cycle — a general lack of student awareness. Despite Student Senate's tremendous impact on the everyday life of students, stunningly few choose to get involved or even vote. Knowledge of Senate is similarly scarce, with many students entirely unaware of the senators that represent them. In order for Student Senate to fully represent the interests of the student body, it must work to combat this stifling lack of public awareness.
According to the Student Senate Elections Commission, last year's election garnered a 25 percent voter turnout. This humble figure actually represents a landmark improvement over the year before it, which attracted a mere 8 percent voter turnout. The fact that 75 (or 92) percent of student voices go unheard during the formation of a new Senate body cannot be allowed to stand.
By Jesse Burbank
opinion@kansan.com
The problem does not rest with the significance of the organization. With student fees weighing in at a whopping $24 million, according to KU Info, Student Senate's power is undeniable. They allocate funds to the school's myriad clubs and organizations, they run the school's invaluable bus network, and they serve as the most effective way for students to shape the University they invest themselves in. Rather, the question of students' political disengagement may be traced
back to one source: simply not being taught about Student Senate.
Potential solutions to this problem are simple and far-reaching in application. An email detailing campaign terms and procedures could be sent out to the student body at the start of the election season, ensuring that students are informed on the coming campaign. This principle could even be expanded into a monthly newsletter in which Student Senate conveyed its accomplishments and activities to students. Additionally, a brief explanation of Senate campaigns and their importance could also be included at orientation each year. This would provide new students with a quick overview of how to become engaged with campus politics.
Action must be taken to combat such high levels of political ignorance and inaction. A possible place to start is by educating the student body on how Senate works and how it is elected. Only through increased visibility and participation can Student Senate truly fulfill its stated role as "the student voice within University Governance."

'The Raid 2' raises the bar for action filmmaking
4/10
"The Raid 2" crafts a two-and-a-half hour crime thriller that throws Rama undercover into a sprawling criminal underworld, full of memorable characters, glorious violence and a story that takes its time building investment, waiting till the second half to go non-stop with the action. Interestingly enough, the crime world and its inhabitants feel equal parts of western and eastern influence, making them more enjoyable than most American or Asian depictions.
MOVIE REVIEW
I could quantify it by the sheer number of times I audibly shouted or gasped in the theater, or by the creativity of the action sequences, or simply by the intense brutality of the fighting that nothing else can measure up to. But I'll start with the story, because that's the most radical improvement over its predecessor.
The first "Raid" followed rookie SWAT member Rama (Iko Uwais) and his team as they raided a drug lord's criminal-infested building, only to be quickly discovered and have to fight for survival. A solid but minimalist story that made for an unfettered adrenaline shot to the heart, built upon the dynamic martial arts style, silat.
By Alex Lamb
entertain@kansan.com
Wiping the narrative slate
Action films are Hollywood's standby, but the Indonesian martial arts epic "The Raid 2" makes American blockbusters look like child's play in comparison. A sequel to 2012's groundbreaking "The Raid: Redemption," this film takes action filmmaking to the next level. As far as pure action thrills go, "The Raid 2" has some of the best.
of the first movie clean, Rama starts his cover in prison, where he begins by taking on a horde of inmates, alone, in a small bathroom. Not long after, a jaw-dropping brawl erupts in the muddy prison courtyard, setting a style for the film of swooping, close, long takes that follow the action clearly, without shakey-cam or tons of quick cuts. He earns the trust of hothead Uco (Arifin Putra) here, who recruits him into his father's crime family upon his release.
As the criminal underworld is explored, Rama fades into more of an observer role for a while, letting us take stake in Uco's thirst for more power from his father, rising gang leader Bejo (Alex Abbad) trying to disrupt the underworld balance to take control, and ties of police corruption. Some distinctly badass assassins also come into play, such as the deaf girl who claws and smashes her way through a subway train using two hammers, and the baseball bat-wielder who smacks his metal bat into goons with the agility of a Jedi twirling his lightsaber.
All these martial artists move with such incredible speed and force that you immediately tense up and your eyes widen with awe, while the aggressively energized score enhances the effect. Once the fighting starts, you're on
the edge of your seat until everyone has been taken down.
Writer/director Gareth Evans lets the punches roar and the pain leave a nasty mark, with phenomenal stunts and almost no computer effects. He paces everything perfectly, films it with brilliant immersion and writes the story with the right amount of genre indulgence and real character. And whether a guy just gets his leg slammed in a door, his body pummed or his face burned to a crisp on a grill, you really feel it.
Rama comes front and center again when the gang war goes too far and he has to escape one of the more frantic car chases of the past decade, full of fighting inside a van, bullets whizzing by and rough crashes. For the finale he goes on an unstoppable rampage against countless enemies in a compound — bruised, bloodied and beaten but with a fire in his eyes to defeat all those in his way, including a relentless hand-to-hand-and-knife fight for the ages with the top assassin.
Forget Bond, Bourne, superheroes and other action stars. The scrawny Rama is a real one-man army with the coolest moves around, a determined, on-edge performance from Uwais bringing him believability and depth, and starring in an action film with the power to blow away perceptions of what the genre can accomplish the way the original "Matrix" did.

News from the U
MORTAR & PESTLE IS NOT CLOSING!
This week, we sat down with Nona Golledge, KU Dining Director, to discuss the misperceptions about the closing of Mortar & Pestle Café (M&P) on West Campus.
Let's cut right to the chase.
Is the M&P closing?
No! The M& P is committed
to serving our partners on
West Campus, but we do need
to streamline the service.
Streamlined service.
What does that mean?
We will close the grill portion and move the remaining operations to the coffee shop, where we can offer many M&P favorites with staffing geared to sales levels.
+
But why the changes?
Unfortunately, economic realities make it difficult to maintain our current offerings. Since M&P's opening in 2010, the population on West Campus has not reached the point to sustain the current operation. Even with elimination of the grill, KU Dining Services will incur financial losses.
But don't you receive student fees to subsidize the M&P? No, Dining does not receive student fees or state funding. We are a not-for-profit organization offering dining services to the KU campuses. All income from sales is dedicated to supporting retail dining on campus.
So what will the New M&P offer with the grill closed? We'll continue to carry hot items. We will offer a rotating menu of hot entrees as well as Panini sandwiches, hot soup and the popular "dillas of the day." We'll also offer the complete line of Roasterie coffee and specialty beverages as well as breakfast pastries, gourmet salads and sandwiches.
What else do we need to know about the changes?
As the landscape of the KU campus changes, KU Dining Services changes too. We will watch for continued growth on West Campus so we can expand the offerings at M&P to best serve our guests.

AMC's 'Mad Men' begins a two-part final season
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
AMC's "Mad Met" returns at 10 p.m. EDT Sunday for the beginning of its swan song: The first seven episodes of season seven start airing this month (AMC calls it "The Beginning"), and the final seven episodes (aka "The End") will air in 2015.
When viewers last saw Don Draper (Jon Hamm), he was taking a forced break from his job atop ad agency SC&P after a season of marked absenteeism. Don also came clean to his colleagues and family about his past as Dick Whitman.
The new season begins in January 1969 around the time of Richard Nixon's first presidential inauguration. There's a new occupant in Don's old office, and the tone at SC&P is tense. Even usually calm, calibrated Ken Cosgrove (Aaron Staton) yells a lot, although that might have more to do with wearing an eye patch after last season's injury (there's a great gag related to his vision impairment).
Roger (John Slattery) gets invited to lunch with his newly blissed-out daughter. And Joan (Christina Hendricks) receives a new work challenge. Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) takes a watch-commercial pitch from washed-up freelancer Freddy Rumsen (Joel Murray), and it's surprisingly artful, which
Peggy doesn't hesitate to note.
Peggy doesn't hesitate to note "There's a nice way to say that and there's the way you just said it," a perturbed Freddy replies just as he announces his plan to get another cup of coffee before he leaves her office.
"You really put the free in freelancer, don't you?" Peggy teases.
It's one of the few lighter moments in this first hour of the new season, which is generally a pretty morose affair, particularly its dower ending. Has Don really hit rock bottom _ he's "damaged goods," as another character suggests _ or does he have further to fall?
Executive producer Matthew Weiner, who wrote Sunday's season premiere (directed by executive producer Scott Hornbacher), said the theme for the show's final season is consequences and whether change is possible.
"When your needs are met, you start thinking about other things," Weiner said in a recent teleconference with reporters. "For Don we saw real growth over the last season from what are the material concerns of your life to what are the immaterial concerns of your life, and that's really what the ending of the show is about."
Weiner has always been scrupulous about protecting any spoilers in "Mad Men" stories, especially after the show became a cultural
phenomenon. Sometimes he even asks critics not to reveal what year a new season is set in (that was not on the list of verboten "spoilers" this time). He said the desire for secrecy grew out of his experience as a writer on "The Sopranos."
"I think about how much fun it was before this whole machinery of spoilers was in operation, when you were going to sit down and have no idea what is going to happen, and that's even more important for our show because the plots are not told in extremes," he said. "They're happening on a very human scale. Don forgetting to pick Sally up at school is a big story point. I love to surprise, and I love the fact that we have a unique position commercially as being something you just don't know what's going to happen when you sit down to watch. I watch trailers for movies, and knowing the entire story in the movie is disappointing for me."
So while Weiner is loath to tease much of the new season beyond a very general theme, he's happy to reflect on the characters' journeys so far. One thing viewers can count on: Limited happiness.
"Drama is made out of conflict," he said. "People's lives being good is never good drama. So we're always looking for more problems for these people."
Imagine Dragons, Lorde lead award nominations
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Imagine Dragons, Lorde,
Justin Timberlake, Katy
Perry, Macklemore & Ryan
Lewis and Miley Cyrus lead the nominations for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards.
Atop the pack of nominees, which were unveiled Wednesday morning, are Las Vegas rockers Imagine Dragons and 17-year-old New Zealand pop prodigy Lorde, who both scored 12 nods.
Imagine Dragons and Lorde dominated radio last year with inescapable hits. The quintet's Grammy-winning smash "Radioactive" made Billboard history in February after spending a record-breaking 77 weeks on the trade publication's Hot 100 chart and Lorde's biting, yet ubiquitous, hit "Royals" nabbed her the honor of being the youngest artist to win song of the year at the Grammys. The two will square off in nine categories,
including Hot 100 artist. digital song, radio songs artist, top rock artist and rock album.
Lorde is also up for new artist against Capital Cities, Ariana Grande and Passenger.
Timberlake scored 11 nods, including top artist and Billboard 200 album for his comeback opus, "The 20/20 Experience" (the two-part album even competes with itself in the R&B album category).
Perry is up for 10, including top artist, top female and Hot 100 artist, and breakout Seattle hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are in the running for eight trophies.
Cyrus, whose transition from Disney princess to urban pop provocateur has yet to pay off with any actual awards, could see her luck reversed on the Billboard stage. The headline-grabber is up for nine, including top artist, top female, Hot 100
artist and Top Streaming artist.
Finalists for Billboard's Milestone award, which was launched last year to honor musical ingenuity and innovation (Justin Bieber won the inaugural fan-voted award to mostly jeers) are Imagine Dragons, John Legend, Luke Bryan, OneRepublic, Ellie Goulding and Carrie Underwood. The six finalists will be whittled down to three and fans logging their votes online can also enter a contest to present the honor alongside Kelly Rowland during the telecast.
Other notable nominees include Beyonce, whose surprise album is up for a slew of honors, Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke, Luke Bryan and Eminem.
The 2014 Billboard Music Awards will air live (except on the West Coast) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 18 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.

HBO renews 'Game of Thrones' after record fourth season premiere
It's not a surprise, but still good to hear. HBO has picked up "Game of Thrones" for two additional years.
The lavish and brutal fantasy series returned to a record audience for its fourth season premiere Sunday night, drawing 6.6 million viewers. That was up more than 50 percent from the show's third season premiere. The show's combined three showings on Sunday drew a gross audience of 8.2 million. It was also the most-watched HBO program since the finale of "The Sozanos" in 2007.
HBO had been renewing the series one season at a time,but
clearly with an audience like this, it knows the crowds aren't going away anytime soon. Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming, said in a statement: "Game of Thrones' is a phenomenon like no other. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with their talented collaborators, continue to surpass themselves, and we look forward to more of their dazzling storytelling."
The two new seasons will be the fifth and sixth and will tackle events in the fourth and fifth books in author George R.R. Martin's series "A Song of Ice and Fire." The series, set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, is loosely inspired by the real life Wars of the Roses in 15th century England. We say loose, because the British crown never had to deal with dragons and ice zombies.
"A Feast for Crows" and "A Dance With Dragons" are notable in the series for following different sets of characters in the same time frame. While the show's producers, Benioff and Weiss, have not said how they will handle the events of those books on screen, it's likely the character stories will be reconfigured to keep all the characters (at least those still alive) in every season.
Meanwhile, fans eagerly await word on when Martin will finish the sixth book in the series, "The Winds of Winter." The TV series adapted from his books is steadily bearing down on the writer, who has been very tight-lipped about his progress on the story and when he anticipates its publication.

Film festival shows complexity of human condition
CASSIDY RITTER news@kansan.com
The African Film Festival, happening Thursday through Saturday at a different campus location each day, is a collection of 18 films from all around the world — each about human perspective and condition. While not all of the films were filmed in Africa, they all relate to the continent.
The films "express the human condition in one way or another," said Daniel Atkinson, assistant director of the Kansas African Studies Center. Atkinson also helped coordinate the event.
There are films made in
China, Bolivia, Argentina, the U.S. and many other countries, each expressing a variety of perspectives. The films range in length, from 13 minutes to 90 minutes, and cover a variety of topics, such as music, religion, culture and sports.
"They express varying points of view...the things we are trying to address are inter tribal, political, gender issues as well," Atkinson said. "They're from a wide range of perspectives which is what we are trying to go for."

The film festival is intended to open the eyes of students in the Lawrence community — to put a "seed of critical thought" in people's mind, Atkinson said.
"It gives students cause to pause, to think a little more about their fellow human beings, people who they may not normally come across or even interact with," Atkinson said.
The films show that we share more similarities than we do differences. The differences we see are fictional differences of class, race and gender and these differences create
barriers, says Atkinson.
Atkinson added that, there is at least one movie that he thinks people will be touched by. He also says to come with an open mind and to have a good time.
This is the third year the African Film Festival has been shown at the University. The film festival is a free event for the Lawrence community and will be shown in Wescoe on Thursday, in the Spencer Museum Auditorium on Friday and in the Kansas Union on Saturday.

Graduate student receives prestigious fellowship
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
When graduate student Alex Erwin found out she had received a National Science Foundation Fellowship, she tried not to get her hopes too high as she went through denial, excitement and finally acceptance.
"There were some thoughts like 'oh this has to be a mistake,' so I sent my adviser an email and it wasn't. And then I mostly just danced around my kitchen," Erwin said.
In early April, the NSF announced Fellowship
recipients, which included six KU students: Stephen Baca, Jeremy Ims, Kevin Song, Jason Stevens, William VanSkike and Erwin. These students will receive a yearly stipend to conduct research. Erwin was one of 29 in the country to get a fellowship for genetics.
She received the award for her proposal to study the effects of changes in genes that are inherited outside of DNA during the aging process of cells that always replicate and pass on DNA.
"I think she will be able to craft a very unique project that isn't just driven by genetic
analysis, but is motivated by theory of aging," said Justin Blumenstiel, Erwin's faculty advisor and assistant professor.
Erwin's study would also focus on whether the disturbance in the changes affect future generations, using fruit flies. She hopes that this research will be used to answer questions like why there is aging.
"Obviously everyone hopes to find something novel," Erwin said. "But either way, whether the result is positive or it ends up being negative, it is still going to be informative
to the general question."
Blumenstiel has strong hopes for Erwin's research because of her "dedication to pushing the envelope" and her innovative approach.
"She's here before I am every day," Blumenstiel said. "This is something that came from her and I think it's really exciting."
Epigenetics first interested Erwin as an undergrad, when she was doing research for a lab at Missouri State University in her hometown of Springfield, Mo. She was fascinated by how her love for science and linguistics could be partnered in the study of
genetics.
She developed her proposal idea as a first-year graduate and applied for the NSF Fellowship then,but was turned down. Now she is looking forward to spending most of her time researching and doing community outreach.
"It's really rewarding to go out and talk to students who are interested in science and do various activities with the community, so I'm really excited that now I will have more time to participate in outreach events," Erwin said.
in June and she is looking forward to the opportunities that the Fellowship will offer her, especially spending more time doing outreach to students who are interested in science. Her advice to these students is to not be too proud to ask questions.
"You find that even professors that you think so highly of are willing to ask questions and they don't know everything in their field, so definitely don't be afraid of asking questions because it will benefit you," Erwin said.
Erwin's research will start

International Awareness Week educates students
TOM DEHART news@kansan.com
The International Student Association is hosting its annual International Awareness Week to spread cultural awareness on the University's campus and in the Lawrence Community. The week began with a World Expo in the Kansas Ballroom on Monday, and will be finishing up next Monday with a FIFA tournament co-hosted with Student Union Activities.
The events are bringing to light the University and Lawrence's rich cultural diversity, and, according to one international student, aim to remove some of the stigmas and incorrect perceptions that American students may have toward international students.
"I think it's important for that [international] community to reach out at Kansas because of the stigmas involving international people
sometimes," said Jose Aldana, a freshman from Santa Cruz, Bolivia and member of ISA's cultural team.
Aldana recalled an instance in a classroom where a fellow classmate voiced her ignorance about electricity in Bolivia. "And that really stuck to me, for people to be thinking those things. So it's important to [erase] those stigmas, and also for them to know more about the culture outside of the U.S."
The Expo, Cultural Trivia and an International Food Court in front of the Kansas Union are some of the other events that have already taken place this week.
"It was pretty cool. We did it from 12 to 4, and it was pretty much non-stop action from the minute that we started setting up until people started leaving at 4." International Student Association's public relations coordinator Dustin Wolfe said about the World
expo. "We had people dancing on the stage in the ballroom, doing international dances. We had music going, some people played instruments. We had lots of videos going at each table."
More events are planned for the rest of the week including a Tea at Three event today, and the 62nd annual Festival of Nations in the Woodruff Auditorium Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. followed by an ISA party at The Cave, located at 1200 Oread Ave.
Lavesh Mirpuri said that this week is the biggest week of the year for ISA. According to him, this week is the biggest multicultural event that ISA puts on, but requires student involvement and participation at each of the events.
"Our goal is to promote cultural diversity, and to create awareness within the KU community about different cultures," Mirpuri said. "We
try to promote interactions between different students from different backgrounds, different parts of the world, and just like our slogan says we try to bring the world to KU."
ISAs big event, the Festival of Nations, is on Friday night in the Woodruff Auditorium. However, the ISA will also be participating in The Big Event on campus Saturday.
We wanted to give back to the community," Mirpuri said. "We receive — international students receive — so much support from the Lawrence community, and from students here, [as well as] local students in the U.S., and it's a good time for us to give back to the community in Lawrence that has treated us so well in these years, and just try to do some community service and help some people out."

Variety show promotes women's contributions to society

1995 "Letter to Women."
This Friday, the St. Lawrence Institute for Faith and Culture will be sponsoring "The Genius of Women," a variety show dedicated to women around the world, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kansas Room at the Union.
The St. Lawrence Center began producing the show in 2009 after a graduate student brought it to campus from the University of St. Louis. The title is based on Pope John Paul II's
"The purpose of the show is to celebrate the gifts that women have and the dignity they have and to celebrate what it is to be a woman," said Sarah Ekis, a senior from Overland Park. "We are trying to raise awareness to the fact that women have dignity and gifts to offer society as a whole."
Ekis is this year's production team leader. Though she has seen the show before, this is her first year holding a leadership position.

Both Ekis and Jacques agree
that the entire "Genius of Women" process has been a fast-paced one. Auditions were just a week ago. "The first time [my accompanist and I] ran through the song was when we auditioned," Jacques said.
Besides singing, "The Genius of Women" showcases pianists and guitarists and even poetry reading. Some of the performers created their pieces themselves. "I think it's wonderful to have this originality," Ekis said.
An art auction is also part
of the program. The money earned from the auction will be used to construct a shelter for abused children and young mothers in the Diocese of Malindi in Kenya.
"The fact that [the show] is rooted in a good cause is the benefit that comes with it," jacques said.
"The Genius of Women" is open to all members of the Lawrence community.

Graduate students' hours cut, health care to stay
CODY KUIPER news@kansan.com
The University responded last week to a petition from graduate students asking that their on-campus work hours not be reduced to help comply with health care reform. The issue originated in March with a rumor that an email that circulated among the University administration proposing that the number of weekly hours students can work on campus be reduced from 30 to 20.
In a separate email from the University Office of the Provost to graduate students, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance Diane Goddard issued a statement saying they were working to create more opportunities for the students to have their input heard on the subject, such as forums and focus groups. Goddard also thanked the students for the nearly 450 signatures last month in the email.
Pantaleon Florez, the graduate affairs director for Student Senate and a master's student in the School of Education, helped lead the charge on the issue and drafted the petition along with graduate students in the English department. He said he's been satisfied with the way the administration has handled the issue thus far.
"I'm really proud of the administration for creating a system at the University where students can actually have a certain level of involvement that can be impactful, for hearing our concerns, taking them seriously and trying to
get us involved so everyone benefits going forward," Florez said.
The proposed 20 hour policy would be a way for the University to comply with the new law that requires employers to provide health insurance for employees who work 30 or more hours per week.
The response from the Office of the Provost also indicated that graduate students would still be offered health insurance even if their hours were to be reduced. Undergraduate students wouldn't be affected by the policy.
"We're halfway to where we want to be right now, so I'm happy with the response, but it's not over."
PANTALEON FLOREZ

But for some graduate students like Florez, the issue is not just about health care, it's about take-home pay. Florez said he cleared the poverty line by $500 in 2013 working 30 hours a week. While graduate students having health insurance is a positive step, the fundamental issue still hasn't been addressed, he said.
options, like increasing hourly wages, that can increase our standard of living."
"We're halfway to where we want to be right now, so I'm happy with the response, but it's not over," Florez said. "We need to commit to conversations, we need to make sure that we're going to be able to keep those hours or that there will be some other
Angela Murphy, a Ph.D. student in the English department from Springfield, Mo., works two jobs for the University, as do many other graduate students. They would have to give up one of them in accordance with a new policy. Murphy works 20 hours per week as a graduate teaching assistant in the English department and works 10 extra hours at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, as well.
"It's really important for people to know that we've been crunching a lot of the numbers and that's been a lot of the focus, but one part of the picture that hasn't been foregrounded as much to the public is that we do love our second jobs and we love having the opportunity to diversify our experience," Murphy said.
Following the response from the University, Murphy said she doesn't expect the issue to fall to the wayside going forward, and that she hopes to take advantage of any opportunity to have her voice heard.
"The University said in the email sent out that they are interested in having an open dialogue and having forums and focus groups and all that," she said. "So I plan to be in attendance at all the events they have, because if they're interested in an open dialogue, I'm interested in engaging."

Emergency responders gather at the high school campus of the Franklin Regional High School, where several people were stabbed on Wednesday in Murrysville, Pa., near Pittsburgh. The suspect, a male student, was taken into custody and questioned.
20 hurt in Pa. high school stabbing spree
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MURRYSVILLE, Pa. Flailing away with two knives, a 16-year-old boy with a "blank expression" stabbed and slashed 19 students and a police officer in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him.
At least five students were critically wounded.
The rampage set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims.
The motive is under investigation.
Police didn't immediately release the name of the suspect, who was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound.
The attack unfolded just minutes before the start
of classes at 1,200-student Franklin Regional High School, in an upper-middle-class area 15 miles east of Pittsburgh. It was over in a matter of minutes.
Witnesses said the boy with the knives at first tackled a freshman and stabbed him in the belly, then got up and ran wildly down the hall, slashing other students.
Nate Moore, 15, said he saw the first attack and was going to try to break it up when the boy got up and slashed his face.
"It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurred up on my forehead," he said.
The attacker "had the same expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part," Moore said. "He wasn't saying anything. He didn't have any anger on
his face. It was just a blank expression."
Doctors said they expect all the victims to survive, despite large and deep abdominal puncture wounds in some cases. The wounded police officer — who was regularly assigned to the campus — was treated and released.
Authorities credited an assistant principal with subduing the assailant. Students identified the educator as Sam King and told local news organizations that they saw him tackle the boy after the youngster stabbed the campus officer.
Public safety and school officials said an emergency plan worked as well as could be expected.
"We haven't lost a life and I think that's what we have to keep in mind," said county public safety spokesman Dan Stevens.

COMMENTARY
MIKE VERNON
sports@kansan.com
Joel Embiid walked out of Jayhawk Towers at 1:31 p.m. as an amateur athlete. His black Kansas polo, sandals and multi-colored socks wouldn't be on for much longer. He briefly waited to cross the street at Irving Hill Road and took a long look at the Burge Union as he walked into its parking lot.
None of his fellow students bothered him.
He was alone.
As he approached the Wagnon Athletic Center to enter Allen Fieldhouse, Embiid sang along with music playing out of his phone. His arms swung back and forth.
Soon Embid traipsed down a few stairs and through the entrance, swapped out his black polo for a blue Kansas shirt, ditched his sandals for black-and-white Adidas sneakers and did what many figured inevitable following his incredible freshman season: declared for the NBA Draft. He walked out of his dorm a 20-year-old kid and returned a millionaire.
wiggins' declaration was a date that could've been marked on calendars before the season started. Embiid's seemed destined for 2015 or beyond. All of this — the press conference, the talk of being the No.1 overall pick, the anticipation of his decision would have shocked anybody, even Embiid, half a year ago.
Which made his ascent to the top of draft boards so much fun. Embiid arrived in Lawrence a 7-foot project with crazy highlight videos and a shadow. Two other freshmen, Wiggins and Wayne Selden Jr., were to be the one-and-done players. Embiid was to develop.
One week earlier Andrew Wiggins declared in the same room. This was different. Embiid has lived in the United States for only four years. He recently tweeted about learning how to drive. He isn't just new to basketball. He's new to the culture that demands its phenoms succeed immediately and the requisite pressure therein.
And develop he did. During the Jayhawks preseason media day in October, Embiid wowed the media by casually shooting jump shots and 3-pointers. A month later, with his father in attendance from Cameroon, Embiid scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds against lona — off the bench.
"Under almost all circumstances, this would be the obvious move to make," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He's still so young in the sport."
"We talked about (jeff) Withey improving and Cole Aldrich improving," Self said. "Ain't nobody improved more than this kid."
Don't you remember? It wasn't that long ago Embiid didn't even start for Kansas. He was too young. He didn't have enough experience. He needed more time.
Then there was the 67-61 Florida loss, his first start. In the next game against New Mexico, the inevitable became visible. Embild's dream to be great shook the Jayhawks past the Lobos, scoring 18 points. He dropped 17 on Georgetown a week later.
"He showed off a little bit against New Mexico and Georgetown," Self said. "We knew he'd be really, really good, but we didn't know how long it would take for him to be really, really good."
Soon there would be the draft talk and the goggles, the pumped-up double-pistol firing and the urban legend that he once killed a lion. Like Embiid, it seemed too great of a story to be true. Only he was. The biggest thrill in a disappointing season unquestionably was Embiid's evolution in such little time. Projects are supposed to take more than a few months, and Embiid couldn't fully grasp how in many scouts' eyes he surpassed even Wiggins on their draft boards.
"During the season," he said, "I really didn't think about it."
When Embiid committed, Jayhawker Towers was expected to be his multi-year home. When he walked out of his dorm at 1:31 p.m. on Wednesday, he knew there was no turning back.
rie'll no longer take that three-minute walk from his dorm to Allen Fieldhouse, strolling slowly across the Burge Union parking lot singing to himself and swinging his arms.
This walk was different. It was the path Joel Embiid took from Kansas Jayhawk to NBA lottery pick. The entrance at Wagonnah has two doors. The one through which Embiid strode is like a speakeasy — there for in-the-know student-athletes. Above the second one hangs a sign. It says: VISITORS ONLY.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Joel Embiid's top 5 moments in crimson and blue
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com
THE DREAM SHAKE
1. THE DREAM SHINE
Relatively quiet in his first nine games, Embiid exploded onto the scene against New Mexico at the Sprint Center on an 80-63 Kansas victory on Dec. 14. Up against a formidable front court duo in New Mexico forwards Alex Kirk and Cameron Bairstow, Embiid finished with 18 points, six rebounds, four blocks and three steals, highlighting his abilities on both ends of the floor. He was ultra-efficient, making five of six field goals and eight of 10 free throws. Said by many to resemble NBA Hall-of-Famer Hakeem
Olajuwon, Embiid showcased one of Olajuwon's trademark moves in this game, the "Dream Shake" — he completed a series of fakes and spins to shake loose of Kirk and convert on a wide-open layup. Embiid caught the nation's attention after this game and would soon be projected by multiple experts as the number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
2. FRESHMAN BLOCKS RECORD
With his first block of the game against Texas on Feb. 22 at Allen Fieldhouse, Embiid broke Eric Chenowith's Kansas freshman record of 62 blocks in a season, a record that stood for 16 years. Embiid finished with six blocks on the night, five of
them coming in a dominating first half that saw Kansas take a 28-point lead into halftime. He ended with 13 points and seven rebounds, eclipsing the 200-rebound mark for the season — just the fifth freshman at Kansas to do so. Arguably his best dunk of the season came in the first half, receiving a Naadir Tharpe pass on a fast break and throwing down a monster dunk to push the Kansas lead to 22. The Jayhawks would go on to win 85-54 over the second-place Longhorns and increased their Big 12 lead to three games.
3. NEAR TRIPLE-DOUBLE
Taking advantage of a smaller Oklahoma State team, Embiid
had 13 points, 11 rebounds and a season-high eight blocks in an 80-78 win over the No. 9 Cowboys on Jan. 18 at Allen Fieldhouse. With Oklahoma State mounting a comeback after halftime, Embiid scored nine points and blocked five shots in the second half alone to keep the game in the Jayhawks' control. He helped make up for struggling Perry Ellis, who finished with just six points., The eight blocks set a single-game Kansas freshman record.
4. BIG SECOND HALF
ON BIG MONDAY
Embiid had his most dominating three-minute stretch of the season in the
second half at Iowa State on Jan. 13. The 7-footer had eight points, two rebounds and a block over a three-minute span, helping Kansas regain a double-digit lead and pull out a 77-70 win over the No. 8 Cyclones. He did an admirable job of guarding crafty Iowa State forward Georges Niang, who finished with 11 points shooting 4-for-20 from the floor and 0-for-9 from three-point range. Embiid tallied 16 points, nine rebounds and five blocks on the evening.
5. RETURN AGAINST THE RED RAIDERS
In a slump at the time, Embid was averaging 7.5 points in the last four games and sat
out against Texas Christian University on Feb. 15. He broke out of that slump in a big way against Texas Tech in Lubbock, scoring 18 points and hauling down eight rebounds in a narrow victory over the Red Raiders on Feb. 18. With the Jayhawks down one and 30 seconds to go in the game, Embiid got a huge rebound after an Andrew Wiggins miss and dunked it back in to give Kansas the lead. In a game where starters Perry Ellis, Naadir Tharpe and Wayne Selden Jr. struggled, Embiid's big night helped the Jayhawks gain a two-game lead over Texas in the Big 12 race.

Jayhawks fall to Hawkeyes in mid-week series
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
KANSAS 23
Sophomore first baseman Ryan Pidhaichuk catches a foul ball against Oklahoma on March 30. Kansas is 21-13 overall and 5-4 in the Big XII.
It was a few short months ago when coach Ritch Price sat in his office with the January snow beginning to melt away, and baseball season just around the corner. Price had one point of emphasis in order to make the Jayhawks a tournament team. After failing to appear in the tournament last spring, Price emphasized that in order for the Jayhawks to take the next step, they would have to perform better in their mid-week matchups.
After another disappointing mid-week matchup, where they lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes (18-12) by a score of 7-12, the Jayhawks appear to be farther away from taking that next step. For the second time this spring, Kansas was swept in a mid-week series.
"We have said mid-weeks have to be just as important as weekend performances, after a series win against K-State, a series loss like this leaves a bad taste in your mouth," said senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge, who was the lone Jayhawk available to talk after the tough loss.
Jayhawks now have an overall record of 21-13, but a mere 2-5 record in mid-week contests after losing their first three mid-week games to start the year.
Kansas got on the board first
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
with a two-run inning in the top of the second. Junior first baseman Blair Beck took a two out fastball up the middle to score senior outfielder Tucker Tharp. Beck was then scored by Eldredge who took a 3-2 pitch and doubled to left.
Hawkeyes then answered with huge back-to-back offensive innings in the bottom of the second and third. They scored five runs off six hits in the second with two outs, and then tacked on three more runs on three hits to force Kansas to go to the bullpen rather early.
"We swung the bats well today, but you have to tip your cap to that Iowa team; they just hit better."
KA'IANA ELDREDGE Kansas catcher
Junior right-handed starter Drew Morovick got the start against Iowa, and was pulled after 2.2 innings of work.
Coming into Wednesday's night contest Morovick led the conference in wins with six. He failed to get his seventh after allowing eight early runs off 10 hits to receive his second loss of the spring.
After taking the mound earlier than expected, sophomore Hayden Edwards
settled down the bats of Iowa. He allowed just one run which came in the seventh, allowing three hits in four innings, striking out a pair of Hawkeyes.
Five layhawks had multi-hit performances on the road, but left 12 guys stranded. Tharp went four of five at the plate with four singles. Eldredge was near perfect going three
for four with a couple doubles and junior Michael Suiter picked up a pair singles.
"We swung the bats well today, but you have to tip your cap to that Iowa team; they just hit better," said Eldredge.
Junior designated hitter Connor McKay (2-5) and sophomore Colby Wright (2-4) went the distance. McKay picked up his sixth home run
on the year in the third for a solo shot. Wright recorded his first home run
"It's always nice seeing a young guy get his first (home run)," said Eldredge.
Jayhawks look to forget about this mid-week sweep as they prepare for a home series against a conference foe. The first of a three game series against Texas Christian
University (20-12) will be Friday. First pitch will be at 6 p.m.
"It will be nice to be at Hoglund ballpark," said Eldredge. "TCU is a tough pitching team, we are going up against two high caliber pitchers, we have to be focused and ready to go."

Gordon homers, drives in 4 as Royals beat Rays 7-3
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Gordon hit a three-run homer and matched a career high with four RBIs, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 7-3 rout of the Tampa Bay Rays in their series finale Wednesday.
NoriAoki, Johnny Giavotella and Billy Butler also drove in runs for the Royals, who have struggled to find offense all season. They had only scored more than four runs once in
their first seven games, and lost 1-0 to Tampa Bay the previous night.
Jeremy Guthrie (2-0) recovered from a sloppy start to hold the Rays to four hits over seven innings. The only run he allowed came on Desmond Jennings' homer in the fourth.
The Royals broke the game open with a five-run fifth off Jake Odorizzi (1-1), who was part of the blockbuster trade in 2012 that brought James
Shields from Tampa Bay to Kansas City.
The Royals went ahead on Butler's RBI groundout and Gordon's run-scoring single in the fourth inning.
Lorenzo Cain singled off Odorizzi to lead off the fifth, Aoki followed two batters later with a triple to right, and the flood gates were open.
Giavotella, recalled from Triple-A Omaha to replace injured second baseman Omar Infante, hit a sacrifice
fly to make it 4-1. Hosmer and Butler followed with back-to-back singles, and Gordon popped a pitch to right-center that hung up long enough in the wind to land over the fence.
It was a rough way for Odorizzi to return to Kauffman Stadium, where he made his big league debut with the Royals in 2012. He allowed all seven runs on 10 hits and a walk in five innings.
scoring chance with runners on first and second and one out in the second inning when Mike Moustakas struck out and Gordon was thrown out heading to third.
Royals manager Ned Yost trundled onto the field and challenged the call. After a review of 2 minutes, 10 seconds, the ruling made by third base umpire Quinn Wolcott was upheld.
It hardly mattered the way the Royals were swinging
— and the way Guthrie was pitching.
The right-hander, who turned 35 on Tuesday, was coming off a rough start against the White Sox. But Guthrie navigated trouble in each of the first three innings, leaving five Rays on base, and then retired his final 12 batters to hand the lead to his bullpen.
Kelvin Herrera gave up two runs in the ninth for Kansas City.

Runners jump over hurdles during the Jayhawk Classic in February 2014. On Friday and Saturday the Jayhawks will compete in the Mesa Classic and the Sun Angel Classic, respectively
Jayhawks head to Phoenix Friday for two meets
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
For athletes who are from out of town, there is always something special about getting the opportunity to go home for a game, tournament or meet. After having this opportunity for the first time last spring, senior Alex Bishop will again be able to perform at a venue just outside of his hometown this weekend,
poised to do so after clearing a personal best mark of 5.50 meters (18'0.5") at the Texas Relays, which still has him ranked third in the NCAA so far this season.
Also ready to continue recent success this weekend for the 25th-ranked men's squad is junior Michael Stigler, who won his secondstraight Texas Relays in the 400-meter hurdles. His winning time of 50.08 has
nim currently ranked at No. 2 in the NCAA.
As Bishop attempts to impress his hometown crowd, the rest of the Jayhawks will also be looking to post good performances. Bishop's fellow pole vaulter, junior Casey Bowen, is one of the athletes
as the Jayhawk track and field teams travel to Tempe, Ariz., to compete in a pair of meets: the Mesa Classic on Friday, April 11, and the Sun Angel Classic in Phoenix on Saturday, April 12.
As for the Kansas women, currently ranked 10th in the nation, junior Lindsay Vollmer will be one of the headliners as she enters the weekend as the top-ranked heptathlete in the country. Vollmer will look to stay on at the top of the competition this weekend as she continues her quest to repeat in the heptathlon after winning
the outdoor title last June in Eugene, Ore.
Junior Colleen O'Brien will be attempting to keep up her early season success this weekend in the high jump, as her clearance of 1.81 meters (5'11.25") at the Texas Relays has her at seventh in the NCAA rankings.
Eyes will also be on the women's relay squads, especially the 4x100-meter team, who passed the baton
around the track in 44.67 last weekend at the Battle on the Bayou, which has them entering the weekend as the NCAAs 14th-ranked team in the event.
Action from the Mesa Classic will get underway at 10 a.m. on Friday, while the Sun Angel Classic will kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Connecticut students celebrate their team's 60-54 victory over Kentucky in the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball championship game Monday in Storrs, Conn.
UConn hopes to profit from championships
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STORRS, Conn. — Campus celebrations are winding down after two nights of championship parties, yet the off-court excitement could be just beginning at the University of Connecticut.
With students, faculty and alumni beaming with pride following the men's and women's basketball team's national titles, the university administration is looking far beyond the Gampel Pavilion sports arena for a payoff.
The teams' accomplishments led national news and sports broadcasts and appeared on news or sports pages of newspapers across the world.
"It's amazing. It lets everyone know we're special here," said Danielle Deschene, an 18-year-old freshman from Norwich, Conn., who was sporting a Huskies sweatshirt while picking up a UConn T-shirt for her dad at a campus bookstore.
This isn't the first time the Huskies have pulled off the men's and women's NCAA basketball sweep: UConn is the only school to ever win Division I men's and women's titles in the same year, a feat also accomplished in 2004.
That's the kind of publicity money can't buy any college or university. And, the result is an expected boost financially, in admissions applications and recruiting.
UConn President Susan Herbst said it is hard to quantify the effect the titles will have on donations and student applications, but she's sure they'll increase.
"They get the attention, they win, and then I take that attention and turn it toward the academic mission," Herbst said Tuesday. "People are thinking about UConn and when they get to me with congratulations, then, I have to talk about our health center, our excellence in education, our student success."
Brian Otis, vice president of development at the University of Connecticut Foundation, said the national titles have contributed to a major hike in fundraising from less than $20 million annually in the 1990s to $63 million last year.
"The success has raised the bar of excellence across the university," Otis said. "There was a period where mediocrity was the acceptable level of performance. That's no longer the case. Being competitive on a national, international level is the standard."
The main campus at Storrs, Conn., was quiet with light pedestrian traffic Wednesday morning after thousands of students celebrated the previous two nights. Blue and white balloons honoring the Huskies' colors were tied to mailboxes leading to campus and TV news trucks were parked outside Gampel
"People are thinking about UConn and when they get
to me with congratulations, then, I have to talk about our health center, our excellence in education, our student success."

Pavilion.
The UConn women's team was expected to return home Wednesday afternoon and celebrate with a "victory lap" around campus in an openair, double-decker bus and speeches near the Student Union. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced that a parade for both teams will be held Sunday in Hartford.
The NCAA basketball titles a record ninth for the women and fourth for the men deliver a boost to the UConn brand, Herbst said.
The school's image took a hit in 2013 because the men's
team was banned from the NCAA tournament over academic performance issues. The school also is facing a Title IX lawsuit over its response to sexual assault allegations on campus. Those headlines have been replaced by stories about men and women performing at a high level on and off the court and the school celebrating both championships.
"We're still top dogs," UConn men's coach Kevin Ollie said. "When you doubt us, that's when we fight our hardest. We're still on top, we didn't go nowhere."
UConn expects the titles to help recruiting. The Huskies already were among the nation's elite in attracting basketball talent. But Ollie says winning another a year after the ban sends a message to potential student athletes that the program isn't on the decline.
The championships also provide a financial windfall.
provide a financial windfall.
Checkout lines snaked around the inside of the UConn Co-op bookstore Tuesday as fans purchased championship gear. The school is planning several new designs to honor both the men's and the women's teams.
Kyle Muncy, who is in charge of licensing and branding for the athletic department, said it's hard to predict how much of an effect the wins will have on licensing revenue. But, he said, the two biggest periods in the school's licensing royalty history were in 2004-2005 and 1999-2000. That corresponds with the dual titles in 2004 and the first men's title in 1999.
A typical year for the school results in over $500,000 in net licensing revenue, he said. A men's basketball championship increases that number to anywhere from $750,000 (2011) to $1.2 million (2004). The titles combined with a new Husky logo could shatter that mark. He said the 2004 mark was well within reach.

Reds defeat Cardinals 4-0, avoid sweep
MLB
ST. LOUIS — Billy Hamilton had three hits and his first two steals, and scored easily after tagging up on a shallow outfield pop fly to support a strong outing from Mike Leake in the Cincinnati Reds' 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.
Leake (1-1) allowed four hits and a walk in eight scoreless innings and Devin Mesoraco hit a two-run home run for the Reds, who avoided a three-game sweep after dropping their ninth series in their last 10 in St. Louis. They're 2-4 against the Cardinals, their NL Central rival, and wrapped up a 2-4 trip.
Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller (0-2) allowed his fourth homer in two starts and faced trouble most of his six innings but held
the Reds hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position. Mesoraco hit his first homer in the fourth after doubling twice Tuesday in his first start after coming off the 15-day disabled list.
Hamilton entered batting .091 with two hits and seven strikeouts in 22 at-bats and left town batting .192. He reached safely his first three trips beginning with a triple to open the game when left fielder Matt Holliday missed on a diving catch in the gap.
After singling to start the fifth he put on a show with his legs, stealing second without a throw, going to third on a flyout to shallow right and scoring easily to beat Jon Jay's' relay on Bruce's pop fly to even shallower right and put the Reds up 3-0.
out single to make it 4-0.
Hamilton bunted for a hit in the ninth against Pat Neshek and stole second, then scored without a throw on Brandon Phillips' one-
Leake retired nine of the first 10 hitters and benefited from three double-play balls, two of them in a run of five straight three-up, three-down innings from the second through sixth. Leake was 0-2 in three starts last year against St. Louis while allowing 15 earned runs in 16 1-3 innings and defeated them for the first time since Aug. 25, 2012.
Miller's best work came in the first when he struck out Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto and got Jay Bruce on a groundout to strand Hamilton at third. He gave up three runs on seven hits.
Associated Press
Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter made an outstanding diving stop on Leake's ground down the line in the third.

Chief describes Boston Marathon lessons learned
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It's been almost a year since police in the Boston suburb of Watertown were at the center of the hunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Police found themselves in a late-night shootout with the suspects — one was killed, the other was found wounded almost a day later.
On Wednesday, Watertown's police chief was on Capitol Hill testifying at a House hearing on the aftermath of last April's bombings.
Edward Deveau was asked about what lessons his department learned in the wake of the attack and if anything should be different.
He said while his department is too small for a permanent seat on the Boston area's Joint Terrorism Taskforce — one of many task forces around the country organized by the FBI — smaller agencies like his
"need to have access to that table" immediately after events such as the Boston Marathon bombings.
A few days after the attacks that killed three and wounded hundred others, Watertown officers got into an early morning shootout with bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Deveau said his officers thought they were pursing carjacking suspects when the officers were attacked with homemade explosives and gunfire. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in the shootout and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found nearly a day later, wounded and hiding in a boat.
Deveau testified before the House Homeland Security Committee along with a sergeant from his department and former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.

"When something like this happens, we need to have access to that table ... to be
The committee chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said he still worried that law enforcement officials missed signs that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had become increasingly radicalized in the months and weeks leading up to the bombings.
McCaul said a report from the committee on the bombings "found that several red flags and warnings were missed."
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev submitted an application with immigration authorities to legally change his name to honor a slain militant who fought Russian forces in Dagestan, a Russian republic where the Tsarnaev family is from.
CIVIL RIGHTS
Hall of Famer: Gay athletes face decades-old questions
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell said Wednesday that gay athletes' current fight for equality and acceptance reminds him of some of the same struggles black athletes faced in the 1960s.
Russell, who won 11 NBA championships with the Boston Celtics, said talk about whether gay athletes can be good teammates or if they might disrupt locker rooms are the same questions black athletes heard years ago, when colleges and professional leagues were struggling with the concept of integration.
"It seems to me, a lot of questions about gay athletes, were the same questions they used to ask about us," Russell said during a panel discussion at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, which is hosting a summit celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.
Russell said he would have
only one question about a gay teammate: Can he play?
Russell, 80, joined NFL Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown. 78, on a panel about sports and race during the three-day Civil Rights Summit. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to address the summit Wednesday night, and President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak Thursday.
Brown and Russell were key figures, as athletes and black leaders, during the civil rights movement. Both men said they approached civil rights as a struggle for respect for human beings based on their character and merit, not the color of their skin.
Their comments came just hours after UMass basketball player Derrick Gordon became the first openly gay player in Division 1 men's basketball.
The former athletes also addressed the question of whether college athletes should be able to form unions and collectively bargain with
their universities. Brown said he opposed unionizing college athletes, but also said he disliked the model of the NCAA.
"It's not going to be a struggle between the NCAA and the union, that will just be (about) money ... put the value back on education," Brown said.
Russell, however remembered fighting to form the NBA players union to get better contracts. That only worked when players threatened to sit out an all-star game and the playoffs, Russell said.
"All great fortunes are amassed with either cheap or slave labor," Russell said. "The NCAA is the one group everybody is focusing on. They have this money machine. To keep it this way, the labor force has to be free or very low wages ... All the agreements with the NBA now are based on collective bargaining."

CRIME
Pistorius and his story under intense scrutiny
PRETORIA, South Africa — In a sometimes ruthless cross-examination of Oscar Pistorius at his murder trial Wednesday, chief prosecutor Gerrie Niel scrutinized the athlete's story that he killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by mistake on Feb. 14, 2013.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INTENTIONAL OR MISTAKE
Here are some of the key points Nel raised on his first day questioning Pistorius.
Nel began dramatically by urging Pistorius to face up to his actions and to look at a grisly police photo of Steenkamp's head and the wounds caused by the Olympian's shooting.
THE FANS
"Take responsibility for what you've done, Mr. Pistorius," Nel said, telling the athlete to look at the graphic photo, which caused a stir in court. Pistorius refused to.
Later, Nel pressed Pistorius on his mindset and intentions when he fired through a door into a toilet cubicle where Steenkamp was, asking him to say that he held fired purposely at a person. Pistorius referred to the shooting as "a mistake" and repeated his claim that he believed an intruder was about to come out of the cubicle and attack him.
"You never purposely fired shots into the door?" Nel asked as he tried to establish Pistorius intended to kill. "I'm not denying that I shot at the door," Pistorius said, but added that he "never intended to kill anyone."
Nel pounced on inconsistencies in Pistorius' story about how many fans he said he brought inside in the pre-dawn hours when he heard a noise in the bathroom that made him believe there was an intruder. In his first court affidavit last year, Pistorius said there was one. Now he says there were two fans. Also, Nel showed a photo of a row of plug sockets where Pistorius said one of the fans
"I can't change the truth."
was plugged in. There was no space for the plug. Pistorius suggested it wasn't important and Nel responded: "It's not insignificant, Mr. Pistorius. It will show that you are lying"
In his bail hearing statement in February last year, Pistorius said he went out "onto the balcony" to bring the fans in on the night of the shooting. Nel noted Pistorius' story now was that he remained inside his bedroom and only went to the edge where the balcony meets with the room to bring the fans in. Nel suggested that Pistorius wouldn't have been able to hear a noise in his bathroom
ON THE BALCONY?
from out on the balcony and therefore changed the detail to suit his story.
Through three days of defense-led testimony from Pistorius, he painted an image of himself as a committed athlete and religious man who sometimes felt fearful and vulnerable to crime and was therefore extra-careful. Nel immediately attacked that image and was granted permission by the judge to show a video where Pistorius was shown shooting a watermelon at a gun range with a powerful handgun and then saying, after howls of laughter from people with him, that the gun was a "zombie stopper" and the watermelon was "softer than brains." Nel said Steenkamp's head "exploded" just like the watermelon.
PISTORIUS' CHARACTER
HIS TESTIMONY SCRIPTED?
HIS TESTIMONY SURPRISED.
Nel repeatedly said that Pistorius had some of his answers pre-planned and ready, and wasn't answering the specific questions the prosecutor was asking. Nel also asked the runner if his overall account was from his own memory or a "reconstruction" with the help of lawyers.
"You've got long arguments, long answers," Nel said to Pistorius, suggesting his testimony was overly-coached by his legal team.
"I can't change the truth," Pistorius responded.

Naismith sculpture finds new home on campus
The Brewmaster
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Photo of Naismith without its bench-like granite base.
ASHLEY BOOKER
news@kansan.com
When Elden Tefft created his bronze sculpture of James Naismith five years ago, he thought the most natural place for it would be the University of Kansas. Now, after completing and placing two other versions — one in Canada and one in Massachusetts — his third replica of basketball's inventor will finally make it to campus.
"I've been waiting ever since the beginning," said Tefft, the 94-year-old sculptor. "This is where I thought it would land first. Finally, after all of these years I'm going to finish it."
The new sculpture will depict Naismith sitting down on a bench-like granite base with two peach baskets between his legs and on his right knee and a soccer ball, which he used in inventing the game. Tefft's idea was to provide room next to Naismith for people to sit next to him.

Plans for the DeBruce Center are still in their final stages of approval. Construction is expected to begin after com-

mencement, said Dale Seuferling, director of KU Endowment. Construction was initially expected to begin in late 2013, but was delayed because of design challenges in attaching the facility to Allen Fieldhouse, which was impossible during the basketball season. Seuferling said.
The $18 million Center, which will include a restaurant, will be located at the northeast corner of Allen Fieldhouse, on the east side of the parking garage. The 36,000 square foot center, and the statue are being funded by donors to KU Endowment. Paul and Katherine DeBruce made the lead gift for the new building. Paul DeBruce is a graduate of the University, and today is CEO and founder of DeBruce Grain, Inc.
"It itens like KU is a cradle to basketball for the United States," Paul DeBruce said. "And with Booth buying the rules, we needed a place for it to be housed."
The Naismith sculpture will be Tefft's third sculpture at the
University. The two others are the bronze Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall and Moses in front of Smith Hall.
Tefft says the Naismith sculpture for the University is part of what he calls an "international trimemorial." The other two have been placed in Almonte, Canada, Naismith's birthplace, and in Springfield, Mass., where he first invented basketball.
"The sculpture of James Naismith outside of the DeBruce Center will be a fitting landmark for the entrance to the building containing exhibits on the history of the game of basketball and the inventor of the game, Mr. Naismith," Seuferling said.

University launches new site to aid students with disabilities
news@kansan.com
MADDY MIKINSKI
Last week, the University launched a new website to aid students and faculty members in creating accessible content for students with disabilities. The website, content.accessibilityku.edu, is geared toward adapting multimedia content in different ways to help that content reach a variety of audiences.
"It started with a meeting with the people in the AAAC office expressing concern about the growing number of courses that are either online or partially online." Kit Cole, the project's coordinator, said. "We decided at that point that it would be a good idea to make a website as a resource."
Students with disabilities, for example those with difficulty hearing or seeing, may struggle to understand online and multimedia communication.
The website gives users step-by-step guides to create multimedia that is more easily accessible by students with disabilities. Processes for captioning YouTube videos, creating transcripts for audio, designing web pages and working with word documents are available.
Director of IT External Affairs Daniel Day believes this website will change the way students and faculty create content.
"It's much easier to start with accessibility in mind than try and add accessibility later;" he said.
The idea is that content creators will consult the website during the entire creation process.
"This website can, and should, be used by anyone in the University who creates content," Day said.
The website aims to benefit all students, not just those with disabilities.
"Research indicates that we can reduce barriers to learning for everyone by providing the same information through different modalities (for example, vision and hearing)," Jamie Simpson, director of Accessibility and ADA Education, said in an email. "Captions on a video add another layer of providing the same information through different learning modalities."
Accompanying a video with a transcript would help add greater clarity to the subject matter. The website's creators also hope that students can use the website after they leave the University.
"It would be great if students got on the site and learned as much as they could, because students eventually are going to leave and get a job somewhere where they're going to have to create content that's used by people with disabilities," Cole said. "The more you know, the better."
Day hopes that the School of Education students who aim to teach K-12 will benefit from the site.
"The more they know about accessibility and how to make content accessible and the
more they're familiar with what we have on the website, the easier it's going to be when they transfer to jobs in K-12," Day said.
KU IT isn't the only organization on campus that supports increased accessibility education. Other entities such as the Academic Achievement and Access Center, the Center for Online and Distance Learning, the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access and the Center for Teaching Excellence contributed to the formation of the website.

Replant Mt. Oread gains traction, support on campus
TOM DEHART news@kansan.com
University students and a faculty gathered on the lawns in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall and Watson Library at 11 a.m. Friday to participate in the planting of new trees as part of the Replant Mount Oread event.
Promoting sustainability can come in the simplest of forms. Sometimes a step toward a sustainable campus comes in the form of a tree — or nine of them.
"We were excited about the
turnout, not only with volunteers helping with the project, but with donors who are really funding all of this," said Jeff Severin, the director of the Center for Sustainability. "We set a goal of $5,000 for this particular project, and we've gone over that goal at this point."
The event was funded by a campaign with a fundraising goal of $5,000, but raised more than twice the amount of money at over $11,000. The extra funds obtained will most likely lead to more planting and sustainability initiatives, which, according to Severin,
will most likely take place in the Fall 2014 semester. Replant Mount Oread also functions as a supplement to the University's Master Plan to recreate a natural canopy created by trees along Jayhawk Boulevard, by planting in other areas on campus that are not near the road.
"It's an important element of that in enhancing our campus landscape," Severin said. "Kind of adding to [it] as we go along because a lot of the trees that have been here for a long time

Drew Carlberg, Mason Keller, Danny Dowling, and Colin Belmont finish up planting a tree Friday for Replant Mount Oread. The tree was one of nine Replant Mount Oread trees planted Friday, bringing the initiative's total number of trees planted over the past three years to 25.

University educates students for Financial Literacy Month
CODY KUPIER
news@kansan.com
The University's Student Money Management Services (SMMS) is doing its part this month to help students better understand their finances.
The organization is currently taking part in National Financial Literacy Month, a month dedicated to educating Americans about personal finance, by hosting events and lectures on campus.
Yoon Sook Chung, a senior educator for SMMS, said that college is the perfect time for people to be educated on finances, as students tend to be a blank slate when it comes
to handling money on their own.
"College students don't have a lot of experience dealing with money," Chung said. "So we have students here at an age where they can still learn about that. For example, they have a lot of money from financial aid, so they need to learn to manage the money so it can last all year."
Chung said the lack of financial experience and knowledge students have at this age is concerning, which is why they are using this month to help prepare those about to enter adulthood.
"I do think they're lagging behind in finance education,"
Chung said. "Their family or schools don't have the resources to teach them, so we feel like they come into college in a new environment and independent. This is the time when they need to learn to manage money so when they get into the real world, they can handle the pressure of being an adult and making real money so they don't make the same mistakes their parents or grandparents maybe did before them."
One of the focuses of this month's events will be debt, an issue that is the most pressing for young adults. According to the Project on Student Debt, seven in 10 college
seniors in 2012 had student loan debt with an average of $29,400 per borrower, and that number is increasing at an average of 6 percent per year since 2008.
McDouglas Archibong, a peer educator at SMMS, said knowledge on debt should be the primary focus for students. But while student debt is a large factor, things like credit card debt should be considered as well, he said.
"Debt is definitely the issue college students should be most concerned with," Archibong said. "It's important you know how to spend the money we have, rather than spending what we make or
afford, and students need to learn about that."
The main event hosted by the organization will be the Cash Carnival on April 23 in the Kansas Union, which will feature games to help learn money management skills, prizes, food and a free credit report review.
Among the other events SMMS is hosting are two lecture series on April 23 and May 7 at the Union that focus on student loans and painting a clearer picture of finances for students.

EDUCATION
Two-year program will incorporate Catholic faith
MIRANDA DAVIS
news@kansan.com
The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center is now offering a program that allows students to take certain classes within the KU Core that would also count toward the center's new program: Humanitas. The goal will be to provide a classical liberal arts education while at a large university, like the University.
The program will be available to incoming freshmen for Fall 2014 and transfer students. It isn't considered a major or a minor and only lasts for two years. The Humanitas program works by allowing students to take classes for their major while choosing particular classes for their core requirements that reflect a traditional Catholic education.
The program is taking applicants until April 30, and the program will be limited to 12 students per year. Patrick Callahan, Dean of Humanitas Institute for Faith and Culture at St. Lawrence, said this was to keep class sizes small. He said the faculty wants to focus on and connect with the group of students. While the bulk of students will be freshmen, Callahan encourages transfer students and sophomores to meet with him to discuss eligibility.
Karr, who attends services and is a part of the St. Lawrence community, said that the program will have a strengthening effect on the Catholic community at the University, because students will better understand their faith.
"I'm actually jealous that I'm not two years younger, so I could participate," said Colin Karr, a junior from Olathe.
"One of the biggest problems that the church has is that people don't understand the faith," Karr said. He said anything that helps with the issue will be good for the Catholic community.
The program allows for students to continue with their major and the KU Core while taking specific classes, such as Latin and medieval history, to supplement their education, and earn credits outside of their major. Humanitas ends during the student's sophomore year with a trip to Rome and Florence. However, there is no degree or diploma associated with the completion of the program.
A program such as this is more typical at a smaller liberal arts college, but it is new to the University.
"Something that you would find at a small, Catholic liberal arts college is also available
The program was designed to fit into the Core and most majors. The program only requires about two classes per semester to allow for students to continue their normal area of study.
at KU," Callahan said.
Callahan also emphasized the community aspect of the program. The students will have the opportunity to participate in cultural experiences, such as attending plays, going to art galleries and memorizing literature and poems.
Every year in August the group will go to Colorado before the semester begins and participate in activities such as hiking, building fires and memorizing poetry. Callahan said that this part of the program allows for the students to delve deeper into the program.
Along with the humanities

classes, students will also enroll in a series of classes called "The Great Books," which focus on the many important pieces of literature throughout different periods of civilization. This class is offered through the St. Lawrence Center and Benedictine College, an area Catholic school, as a transfer credit, so the Catholic faith can be openly discussed in class. Callahan said that "The Great Books" classes are a crucial part of the program.
The Humanitas program was built out of classes and opportunities that the University and the St. Lawrence Center already offered. Callahan said it was a matter of combining all of the pieces and putting it together.

Truman Scholarship applicants anticipate decision
TERRI HARVEY news@kansan.com
I am very proud of all the women that have come together to support me. I will continue to work with them and help them achieve their goals.
From left to right: Emma Halling, Micah Melia, Leigh Loving and Ginny Helgeson.
On Wednesday, the University of Kansas may have a new Truman Scholarship winner. For months, four University candidates have been working on their applications and preparing for an interview that took place last Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.
Halling serves as the student body vice president and has worked all of her undergraduate career with the Commission on the Status of Women.
They all mentioned that keeping a tight schedule is important, along with balancing priorities.
The Harry S. Truman scholarship is a prestigious opportunity for students who plan to attend graduate school and commit themselves to public service. All four of the candidates plan to assist their community either through working in law and public policy, medicine or social welfare.
Candidates Emma Halling, Leigh Loving, Ginny Helgeson and Micah Melia are all heavily involved on campus. As most students know, it is a struggle to maintain outstanding grades and participate in extracurriculars, but these four students have worked to make it possible.

"I live and die by my Google Calendar, and being a boxer means that I have to take care of myself, eat well and get enough sleep, which helps me to always be performing my best academically and in extra-curriculars," Halling said.
"I create a daily schedule for myself each morning. It helps
me keep track of what I need to be doing throughout the day." Loved saying.
The other two candidates are just as well known on campus. Helgeson is the president of the Sexuality Education Committee through the Ecumenical Campus Ministries and works with the Willow Domestic Violence Center and the Center for Community Outreach. Melia is a teacher's aide at the Hilltop Child Development Center, assists with Alternative Breaks and is also a member of the Center for Community Outreach.
These scholars do not volunteer their time just for the accolades; they all have different reasons for their continued participation on campus.
"Student organizations and volunteering are important because they benefit you holistically," Helgeson said. "They inspire friendships, they give real world experience and they help you keep your perspective. Whenever I feel stressed, my extracurricular activities both challenge me and refresh me."
Like Loving, many volunteers work to hone their skills in their future careers while working with those who could become their colleagues.
"Last year, I founded Jayhawk Health Initiative, a prehealth program that focuses on giving participants experiential learning opportunities," Loving said. "The goal of JHI is twofold. First, JHI strives to
produce educated and engaged students who will become the next generation of healthcare providers in the state of Kansas. Second, JHI aims to ensure that all citizens have equal access to healthcare by providing aid to under-served populations, both locally and internationally"
"Receiveing the Truman would help me to pay for graduate degrees in public policy and law, so that I will have less student debt upon graduation and be able to more readily enter public service," Halling said.
However, the honor of the Truman scholarship is worth more than just the money.
If chosen to receive this prestigious award, all of the candidates would put the money towards furthering their education.
"While the scholarship is certainly a huge benefit for paying for graduate school, I think the more significant gift is the community of other Truman scholars you get to know," Helgeson said. She describes being in a room with
the thirteen Kansas City finalists on Monday, all waiting to be interviewed. "It was a lot of fun to become friends with these interesting, kind, and social justice-oriented students during just that brief time. If I am chosen as a Truman scholar, I would most appreciate the friendships I made. I would use those connections in my future career to address social and political problems with the knowledge and experiences of many different people," Helgeson said.
These four students have worked all of their academic lives to be the best they can be. Halling, Loving, Helgeson and Melia remember working hard since their earliest days in elementary school.
"I have been academically involved and engaged for as long as I can remember. My family always placed a large emphasis on academic performance," Halling said. "I have always been the type of person to get engaged in being a part of the solution if I identify a problem I want to solve."
thanks their family for influencing their involvement and academia. Melia said that her family has always supported and encouraged her decisions in and outside of the classroom. Loving credits her mother and father individually for their attributions to her education.
Each one of the candidates
"I credit my mom for reading to me every night before bed and passing along a love of literature," Loving said. "My dad has guided me through the various situations that come with a leadership role."
Helgeson credits the University for her success as well.
"None of this would have been possible without the University Honors Program. The Honors Program cares deeply about their students," said Helgeson. "I felt very well prepared throughout the entire application and interview process. It is wonderful to have been given a chance to represent the University that has offered me so many academic and extracurricular opportunities."

are nearing the end of their life (sic). And so as we take out 50 — sometimes 70 — trees a year that we're losing to insect damage and disease, we really need to stay on top of putting those trees back up, and this effort kind of helps fill that gap."
Victor Zaharopoulos, a junior who helped begin the event three years ago, said he is pleased with the way Replant Mount Oread has developed over the years, and is happy with the amount of money raised for the event this year, as well as having currently planted over 25 trees on campus.
"It's been really great, the support from alumni and students. I think the combination
has been really strong, and that's why it's such an effective project because it is immediately visible," Zaharopoulos said. "You know, one day the trees appear and the students take notice."
Emily Cook, a junior from Olathe, said that participating in the event is a good way to give back and to reduce the campus' carbon footprint.
"It's a very long-lasting gift on campus," Cook said. "In a couple of years we'll be able to say, 'Hey, we planted that one.'"

CRIME
Shooting in Kansas City leaves three dead
OVERLAND PARK — A gunman opened fire outside of a Jewish community center on Sunday, killing a doctor and his teenage grandson before heading to a Jewish retirement community a few blocks away and killing someone else, authorities said.
Police arrested the suspected assailant in an elementary school parking lot shortly after the attacks in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park.
the need to notify their loved ones first. But the family of the first two people who were shot released a statement later Sunday identifying them as Dr. William Lewis Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood. They were both Christian, and the family thanked members of their church congregation, among other people, for their support.
"Today is a sad and very tragic day," Douglass said. "As you might imagine we are only three hours into this investigation. There's a lot of innuendo and a lot of assertions going around. There is really very little hardcore information."
At a news conference, the city's police chief, John Douglass, said the suspect is in his 70s, wasn't from Kansas and wasn't known to area law enforcement. He also said there was no indication that the suspect knew the victims.
Douglass declined to release the names of the victims, citing
Brecca Sturtevant, a spokeswoman for Overland Park Regional Medical Center, where Reat was taken and where he died, said family members said Corporon and the boy were at the community center so that the high school freshman could try out for KC SuperStar, a singing competition for students.
"We take comfort knowing they are together in Heaven," the family said. It asked for privacy to mourn.
Douglass said the suspect made several statements to police, "but it's too early to tell you what he may or may not have said." He also said it was too early in the investigation to determine whether there was an anti-Semitic motive for the attacks or if they will be investigated as hate crimes. The
Jewish festival of Passover begins Monday.
"We are investigating it as a hate crime. We're investigating it as a criminal act. We haven't ruled out anything. ... Again, we're three hours into it," he said.
Douglass said the suspect first opened fire in the parking lot behind the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City. Corporon died at the scene and his grandson later died at the hospital. The chief said the suspect then drove to the nearby retirement community, Village Shalom, where he shot and killed a woman or girl. The gunman also shot at two other people during the attacks, but missed them. Douglass said.
Douglass said a shotgun was used in the attacks, and that investigators are also trying to determine if a handgun and assault-style rifle may also have been used.
Police officers were also sent to other Jewish facilities in the area immediately after the shootings, the police chief said.
"I immediately when we learned we had an active shooter we dispatched vehicles to secure and surveil all the active Jewish facilities in the city and other religious institutions which are not Jewish," Douglass said.
+
The suspect was taken to the Johnson County Detention Center. Johnson County District Attorney Stephen Howe, who attended the news conference along with Barry Grissom, U.S. Attorney for Kansas, said it was too soon to know when the suspect would appear in court. Corporon, who was a family doctor, leaves behind a wife of 49 years. His grandson, Reat, was an Eagle Scout who loved camping and hunting with his grandfather, father and brother, the family said.
President Barack Obama released a statement expressing his grief over the attack, and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
"My heart and prayers are with all those who were affected by today's events." Brownback said in a statement. "We will pursue justice aggressively for these victims and criminal charges against the perpetrator or perpetrators to the full extent of the law."

Keeping Passover a challenge away from home
RELIGION
For those of you who do not know, Passover starts Tuesday. Passover is a celebration in the Jewish year that commemorates the Hebrew exodus from Egypt. During this eight-day holiday one may only eat specific foods. These foods do not include anything that have wheat, oats, rye, barley or spelt. These forbidden ingredients are referred to as Chametz. Certain people also refrain from eating any product made directly out of corn and any product that has corn syrup or corn oil in it. Foods that are considered permissible to eat on Passover are known as kosher-for-Passover by the Jewish community.
As you may be able to
infer, keeping Passover is extremely difficult and requires dedication. At home it is much easier to keep because my wonderful Jewish mother is constantly whipping up things that I know I can eat. She spends hours in the kitchen making kosher-for-Passover cookies, matzo balls and rolls. They're all delicious. Meanwhile, in college it is difficult just to make it to the store to buy a couple boxes of matzo so that you can make it through the next eight days.
So what is a college student to do without her Jewish mother around to help her? As I have started to think about how I will make it through the eight days of Passover, I have mapped out a game plan. My dorm
By Rebeka Luttinger
opinion@kansan.com
room is stocked with matzo, kosher-for-Passover potato chips, fruit jellies, peanut butter, jelly, pizza sauce, cheese, margarine, etc. I have also reserved my seat at the Seder table for both the first and second night of the holiday. Both Jewish organizations on campus offer beautiful Seders, which is a service and dinner held as part of the Passover celebration.
Even though my dorm room is filled with delicious food, I sometimes wish that the University of Kansas had more kosher-for-Passover options. Don't get me wrong, having matzo available
at the Underground and in The Union is fantastic, but a huge problem is that many students start to keep Passover and then end up having to break it early because it is too difficult to find food to eat. Maybe campus can make some sort of kosher-for-Passover section somewhere so that students who wish to keep it can do so.
Although Passover can sometimes be a struggle, it is my very favorite Jewish holiday. Some of my fondest memories growing up consist of sitting around the Passover table talking for hours with family and friends. I love Passover because, as strange as it sounds, Passover food is delicious. Specifically, matzo
pizza is the absolute best. If you would like to try it, just spread a bunch of pizza sauce on a piece of matzo, throw on some mozzarella cheese, and stick it in the toaster oven until the cheese melts.
I know that keeping Passover in college is going to be no easy task, but I am willing to give it my all in hopes of making wonderful new memories on my favorite Jewish Holiday. Chag Sameach, or happy holiday!

Vaccines important to health of society
American medicine has advanced a lot since the days of treating multiple patients with the same, uncleared instruments. As technology and society have progressed, medicine and techniques employed by doctors have led to amazing advancements in the field of medicine that now allow people with debilitating diseases to overcome them with relative ease. They also provide doctors new ways of preventing debilitating diseases.
Despite these advancements in modern medicine, some people are still apprehensive about the possible side effects of certain drugs especially vaccinations given to infants. The issue of whether certain vaccines cause autism in children has experienced a resurgence in recent years, in part due to a 1998 study by British scientist Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who asserted that vaccinations in children can lead to autism later in life.
While contemporary scientists and doctors have concluded that Wakefield's results were fraudulent, many parents and families with small children still believe that vaccines for diseases like measles, mumps and rubella are connected to children becoming autistic, in part because of a recent movement by non-vaccination groups still clinging to Wakefield's research results despite the danger it presents to those not vaccinated.

One recent example is an outbreak of mumps in Ohio, which scientists
believe originated at Ohio State University. Mumps, unlike similar kinds of diseases like measles and polio, is a highly contagious disease transmitted like a cold or the flu, which often leads to a high fever, fatigue, swelling of the salivary glands and often severe swelling of the testes in post-puberty males. The outbreak led many to reconsider the validity of "nonvaxxers" and their assertions about vaccinations and autism. Mumps occurs in only a few people per year under normal circumstances, but in highly populated areas the disease can spread quickly, especially with those in the approximately 12 percent of the population who either did not receive their booster shot for mumps and similar diseases, or who received no vaccination for the disease because of ethical or ideological reasons.
Another outbreak, this time with measles, which in 2000 was considered to have been wiped out, resurfaced in New York City earlier this year with at least 19 confirmed cases, according to TIME magazine. Measles, another disease easily prevented by vaccinations, often resembles an extreme case of chickenpox, but can be fatal if the patient has unexpected complications during the disease or has a compromised immune
system. The disease can also occur with very few symptoms, making it difficult to contain when there is an outbreak.
The emergence of these diseases that were once thought to be eliminated has serious consequences if left unchecked. The sector of the population that for one reason or another does not have their vaccines (about 12 percent according to the Center for Disease Control) is obviously the most likely to fall victim to these diseases, and the increased number of cases across the nation doesn't help their chances of remaining unscathed.
While the pursuit of medical exams and procedures on children should remain under the guidance of the child's parents, an issue of this importance is not to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, parents and families of children across the country continue to withhold vaccinations for their children that could potentially save their lives and the lives of those who could be exposed. If the issue of concern is children's safety, wouldn't it make sense to get all children vaccinated instead of withholding valuable prevention of diseases?
Time will tell whether parents will eventually submit to allowing all children to receive vaccinations, but it is likely that more lives will be threatened before there is any real change in parents' attitudes.

Confiscation needed for conservation
when I think of the word "confiscation," I immediately think of two scenarios: a toddler in danger and an airport. Whether it is a toy or a bottle of water, some authority decides that you are no longer allowed to be in possession of something, often with the goal of safety.
+
a toddler may not realize it, but someone taking away a toy that they could choke on is in its best interest. Similarly, although the TSA security checkpoints can be a tedious process, most citizens have a general agreement that security in airports is also necessary.
Realizing that losing what we may consider a convenience or a necessity is actually beneficial is a slow process without intervention, even if it is for a greater good.
Carpooling, recycling and using reusable bags are all sustainable actions that may not be convenient, but are for the greater good. If the government confiscated cars or waste management services, chaos would ensue. However, society will not come to a crashing halt if plastic bags are confiscated to promote the use of paper or reusable bags.
In fact, Hawaii is the first U.S. state to ban plastic bags. Tanya Lewis reports for livescience.com that "The islands of Maui, Kauai and the Big Island have already banned plastic bags, and Oahu will ban them starting July 2015. Stores and restaurants on the Big Island had been

charging customers for plastic bags for a year."
Hawaii may be the first state, but Lewis also reports that, "Los Angeles banned [plastic bags] at the beginning of 2014, and San Francisco and Santa Monica have bans as well. Portland, Ore., and Washington, D.C., have bans too."
Governments controlling what goods citizens can and cannot use often spark controversy, as people feel that it is their right to choose what they use. However, if we continue to be apathetic to the fate of the planet, I believe confiscation of unessential conveniences is the next logical step.
Some college campuses ban plastic water bottles or paper towels as sustainability initiatives. It is hard to adjust lifestyles to these changes at first, but eventually routines will reform without unnecessary waste. Sometimes all it takes is a little push to really discover how many things we can live without.

Japan Festival teaches students about culture
CAMPUS
SUNNY KIM
entertain@kansan.com
On Saturday, the Japan Festival was hosted by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) and the Spencer Museum of Art, where the event took place. The festival included crafts, lectures and artifact exhibits. With a full day to learn about new cultures, students and families enjoyed listening to talks about the Japanese tea ceremony. Participants also toured the museum to see tea ceremony artifacts and interactively participated in a Japanese drumming performance by Three Tails Taiko.
Since many students can't visit other countries, including Japan, these cultural events are a great alternative for students to get a glimpse of a new culture, and to realize that they are surrounded by different cultures.
"I always try to come to cultural events or history of arts events. I don't necessarily have opportunities to travel much, but I feel like living in Lawrence and being at KU," said Rachel Hagan, a junior from Topeka. She said that college is a great time to attend these events, because they are free for students.
Mindy Landeck, a Ph.D candidate in East Asian History, lectured about her expertise in the Japanese tea ceremony, which was accompanied by a video.
"Most people will never get the chance to go to Japan, necessarily, or participate in a tea ceremony, but you can eat ethnic food. And for many people this is their first and sometimes their only introduction to a different culture," Landeck said.
She thinks students can show their creativity in their food by incorporating local ingredients. Mizumura suggested using matcha powder, green tea, to add a Japanese take to meals you already make.
Ayako Mizumura, assistant director at CEAS and a Japanese culinary expert, shared how students at the University can apply this lecture to their everyday lives.
"You can be very flexible. Let's say, you can put some matcha powder in your pancake dough and make a matcha pancake. Or a sugar cookie, or add matcha powder to vanilla ice cream," Mizumura said.

"We envision this Japan fest as a way to just introduce KU students, and also the members of Lawrence community, to Japan."
Kate Cowger, a sophomore from Topeka, attended the festival to learn more about the tea ceremony. Although Cowger hasn't heard a lot about Japanese culture, she had heard about the tea ceremonies.
While some students are familiar with Japanese customs, events such as the Japan Festival are a great opportunity to expand their knowledge.
"I never understood what a big deal it is," Cowger said.

Frelich became interested in acting while at Gallaudet. She joined the National Theatre of the Deaf where she met Steinberg, who worked as a scenic and lighting designer on several plays by Mark Mendoff.
Tony Award-winning deaf actress Phyllis Frelich dies at 70
Phyllis Frelich, a Tony Award-winning deaf actress who starred in the Broadway version of "Children of a Lesser God," has died. She was 70.
A native of Devils Lake, N.D., Frelish graduated from the North Dakota School for the Deaf and Gallaudet College — now Gallaudet University — in Washington, D.C. She was the oldest of nine deaf children born to deaf parents.
"She was extraordinary, the finest sign language actress there ever was," he said. "We were married for 46 years. I would have been happy with 46 more."
CELEBRITY
"Just two weekends ago, the Japanese Student Association put on an all-day event at the Kansas Union, also themed around Japanese culture," Landeck said. "There is a vibrant community for that in the larger Kansas City area, as well. Every October, Japan-America Society in the heartland of Kansas City offers a huge Japan festival at JCCC that is attended every year by more than 5,000 people from the area. So we are just kind of one more part of that bigger picture of doing East Asian themed outreach, I think."
Frelich, died Thursday at their home in Temple City, Calif., her husband, Robert Steinberg, said. She suffered from a rare degenerative neurological disease called progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, for which there are no treatments, he said.

"We envision this Japan fest as a way to just introduce KU students, and also the members of Lawrence community, to Japan," Landeck said. "It was a wonderful opportunity to bring together art historians, social historians, culinary experts and put together something that would be fun for young people, in terms of activities, but also adults who have an interest in Asian cultures and would like to come to some program and learn more."
Other organizations at the University and surrounding areas provide many cultural events where students can experience new cultures from around the world, too.
On April 17, CEAS is hosting an event about food and prostitution in Yoshiwara, a district in Edo, present-day Tokyo, during the time of artist Hishikawa Moronobus. The event is planned for 4 p.m. in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union.
"The play opened and I really thought, 'I'm working with as good as an actor as I've ever worked with in my life. And I've got to take advantage of it.'" Medoff told the AP on Saturday.
which follows the relationship between a deaf woman and a teacher at a school for the deaf. The production was first staged in New Mexico and then in Los Angeles. Freich won a Tony in 1980 for her Broadway portrayal of Sarah Norman, the deaf woman at the heart of the play.
Medoff, now a professor at New Mexico State University, said he was immediately charmed by her energy and her enthusiasm for having a conversation with him.
"I was the first deaf person he had known," Frelich told The Associated Press in 1988. "I told him there were no roles for deaf actresses. He said, 'OK, I'll write a play for you.' He did. He went home and wrote 'Children of a Lesser God.' He wanted to write a good play. He was interested in me as an actress and he wasn't trying to write a message play."

The Big Event attracts around 3,000 volunteers
ANISSA FRITZ
ANISSA FRITZ
entertain@kansan.com
Around 3,000 University students woke up early and rallied together for a day of community service on Saturday morning, April 12. With approximately 350 different job sites, every helping hand was essential in making the Big Event a big success.
This is the fourth year that the Big Event has swept over Lawrence; it not only has a positive effect on those receiving help from the volunteers, but it also has a tremendous effect on the volunteers themselves. Caroline Goble, a freshman from Tampa, Fla., elaborated on how she felt after her experience with The Big Event.
"After all of the work we did.
I felt so accomplished," Goble said. "By working together as a team and getting everything done, [it] makes me feel so great about myself and our community."
Nicole Stroda, a senior from Gardner, explained her part in The Big Event.
"Our job for The Big Event was to assist a local Lawrence resident ... and do some things around her house that she could not do herself," Stroda said.
Stroda, a resident assistant, along with the girls who live on her floor, further helped this resident by washing windows and scraping paint off of the floor.
The executive director of this event, Michael Garrett, a junior from Lenexa, said that
this year's Big Event was even better than previous years. Garrett is a strong believer that The Big Event helps connect Lawrence and the University students.
Garrett said his personal favorite job of The Big Event was volunteering at The Castle Tea Room.
"I could see the difference that the volunteers made," he said.
With The Big Event bringing in such high numbers of volunteers, different tasks and improvement every year. the University and its students cannot help but continue this tradition of giving back to a community that gives them so much every day.

'King Charles III' puts British monarchy onstage
INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A new play about Britain's future king is getting rave reviews. Once it would have been theatrical treason.
King Charles III" imagines the current heir, Prince Charles, taking the throne, with catastrophic results.
Just a few decades ago, depictions of living British monarchs were banned from the country's stages. Even in 2014, Mike Bartlett's drama is drawing strong reactions.
Daily Mail critic Quentin Letts said the play "seems anxious to provoke a serious row" and accused it of coming close to defamation. The paper headlined his story "So could King Charles III be deposed by scheming Kate?"
Yet most of Britain's newspapers applauded the play Friday.
"Bold, brilliant and unstoppably entertaining," said Dominic Maxwell in The Times of London. Charles Spencer in the Daily Telegraph found it "spectacular, gripping ... moving as well as funny," while Financial Times critic Sarah Hemming called it "scintillating and audacious."
Bartlett's "future history play" — running at London's Almeida Theatre — imagines
the new king, uncertain of his powers and moved by his conscience, refusing to sign a new law restricting press freedom. The British monarch must give royal assent to all legislation, although the signature has long been considered a formality.
The play asks: What if a sovereign decided to put Britain's tradition-heavy, partly unwritten constitution to the test?
Onstage, the stakes quickly get high. Soon there's a tank outside Buckingham Palace and chaos in the streets.
It's a dramatic scenario that would have been impossible few decades ago.
Until 1968, an official called the Lord Chamberlain had the power to censor plays appearing in British theaters — and depictions of reigning monarchs were forbidden. Previous kings and queens were permitted, as long as they were at least three generations in the past. In the 1950s, the Lord Chamberlain regularly banned depictions of Queen Victoria, who had died half a century earlier.
Things loosed up in the 1960s, and since then Britons have grown steadily less deferential — helped along by the 1990s' scandals and divorces of Queen Elizabeth II's children,
including Charles from Princess Diana.
Change came to the theater with "A Question of Attribution," a 1988 play by Alan Bennett about Anthony Blunt, who was the queen's personal art adviser — and a Soviet spy. Prunella Scales played the monarch, never referred to by name, as perceptive and intelligent.
"That made such a difference," said John Snelson, a publications editor at the Royal Opera House and a stage historian. "Since then, of course, who hasn't played her?"
Helen Mirren has made a mini-career of monarchy, playing Elizabeth II on screen in the Oscar-winning film "The Queen" and onstage in Peter Morgan's "The Audience," which depicted the monarch as voice of reason across a series of sometimes impetuous prime ministers.
Moira Buffini's play "Hand-bagged," currently running in London's West End, dramatizes Elizabeth II's testy relationship with Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Both those plays are affectionate portrayals of the much-loved monarch. "King Charles III" presents a more ambiguous ruler and asks unsettling questions.
Bartlett's script is in quasi-Shakespearean blank verse, and Rupert Goold stages it with a strong sense of pageantry. Charles has echoes of Shakespeare's dithering royals, Hamlet and Macbeth, as well as of the anguished King Lear. Tim Pigott-Smith captures Charles' mannerisms and plausibly suggests his complex inner life. He's surrounded by the smooth, affable Prince William, the steely Kate and the caroussing Harry, longing to break free from his gilded cage. There is even the ghost of his ex-wife — the late Princess Diana — to haunt the proceedings.
Snelson thinks there are still taboos around depicting the royal family onstage. Sex, he said, is still "a very uncomfortable area with royalty."
But he's confident playwrights will keep returning to the topic. The drama of a private individual who is also a symbol of the state makes royalty an irresistible subject.
"Monarchs are not just a breed," Snelson said. "It's very much to do with how the individual relates to the role. That's where the drama comes through. Can they hack it?"

'I AM A BULLY' sign-holder says punishment is unfair
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio — An Ohio man who spent hours on a street corner Sunday with a sign declaring he's a bully says that the punishment in a disorderly conduct case was unfair and that the judge who sentenced him has ruined his life.
Sixty-two-year-old Edmond Aviv mostly ignored honking horns and people who stopped by to talk with him in South Euclid, the Northeast Ohio Media Group reported.
"The judge destroyed me," Aviv said. "This isn't fair at all."
The sentence stemmed from a neighborhood dispute in which a woman said Aviv had bullied her and her disabled children for years. Aviv pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, and Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers ordered him to display the sign for five hours Sunday as part of his sentence.
The judge selected the wording for it: "I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those that are different from
Aviv arrived at the corner with the sign just before 9 a.m. Sunday. Within a couple of minutes, a passing motorist honked a car horn. Later in the morning, he was sitting in a chair holding the hand-lettered sign in front of him.
myself. My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in."
Aviv denied bullying his neighbors, but declined to answer other questions. A court probation officer monitored him, and Aviv's attorney stopped by to check on him. The lawyer didn't immediately return telephone calls to his office Sunday.
Pugh's property, the records said.
Dozens of drivers honked their horns and some passers-by yelled at him. Some pedestrians took pictures.
Prugh has two adult adopted children with developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Her husband has dementia and her son is paralyzed.
Aviv has feuded with his neighbor Sandra Prugh for the past 15 years, court records show.

rugh said in a letter to the court that Aviv had called her an ethnic slur while she was holding her adopted black children, spit on her several times, regularly threw dog feces on her son's car windshield and once smeared feces on a wheelchair ramp.
The judge also ordered Aviv to serve 15 days in jail and undergo anger management classes and counseling. Aviv also had to submit an apology letter to Prugh.
"I am very concerned for the safety of our family," Prugh wrote in a letter to the court for Aviv's sentencing. She said she just wants to live in peace.
"I want to express my sincere apology for acting irrationally towards your house and the safety of your children," Aviv wrote. "I understand my actions could have caused harm but at that time I was not really thinking about it."

No physical evidence of a pre-impact fire in bus crash
+
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The burned remains of a bus involved in a fiery crash with a FedEx truck sits on a flatbed truck before being taken from the scene Friday in Orland, Calif. Ten people were killed and dozens injured in the crash.
RED BLUFF, Calif. — Federal investigators said Sunday that they haven't found physical evidence confirming a witness' claim that a FedEx truck on fire before it slammed into a bus carrying high school students, killing 10 people in Northern California.
the bus was carrying 44 Southern California high school students to a free campus tour of Humboldt State University. Five students, three adult chaperones and both drivers died and dozens were injured in Thursday's collision in Orland, a small city about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
National Transportation Safety Board member Mark Rosekind said that investigators are not ruling out a pre-impact fire, but a fire expert did not find evidence of flames as the truck crossed a median, side-swiped a Nissan Altima and crashed into the bus.
"This is all preliminary and factual information," Rosekind said at a news conference. "We are not ruling anything out."
Bonnie Duran, who drove the Altima and survived with minor injuries, told investigators and reporters Saturday that she had seen flames emerging from the lower rear of the truck's cab as it approached her car. The bus was gutted and the truck was a mangled mess after an explosion sent flames towering and black smoke billowing, making it difficult for investigators to track the source of the fire.
Rosekind said a blood test of the FedEx truck driver could indicate whether he inhaled smoke before his death. A
family member told the Sacramento Bee that the truck driver was Tim Evans, 32, of Elk Grove, Calif.
The biggest questions for investigators include why the truck had left its lane and did not leave behind tire marks, suggesting the driver did not brake. The investigation will review maintenance records and the driver's medical history, experience and potential impairment.
The bus' black box-style electronic control module was recovered and will be analyzed. The truck's device was destroyed, but investigators will take other steps to analyze its speed and maneuvering.
The victims included passengers who were thrown from the bus, a brand new 2014 model that had seatbelts. Under a rule long sought by Rosekind's agency, all new motor coaches and some other large buses must include threepoint lap-shoulder belts by 2016. But Rosekind said it's difficult to issue guidelines to enforce seatbelt use while they aren't mandated.
Beyond the cause of the crash, the NTSB will examine if any of its safety recommendations could have reduced the death and injury toll.
"In the absence of a flight attendant, the likelihood of anyone on a bus buckling is slim," said Larry Hanley, president of Amalgamated Transit Union representing bus drivers and advocating for policies reducing driver fatigue.
In this case, the transportation authorities are focusing on seatbelts, escape routes and fire safety, though it has no authority to enforce measures it recommends.
Bodies recovered from the bus were charred beyond recognition. The transportation board has also called for measures to detect and suppress fires and make buses less vulnerable to blazes after a 2005 bus fire killed 23 nursing home evacuees escaping Hurricane Rita in Texas. Rosekind said investigators will examine the materials and design of the bus to withstand fires.
Fire-suppression systems, now under study by the federal government, are designed with blazes that start in engines and wheels. The systems, akin to a hand-held extinguisher automatically dousing the first embers and sparks, aren't suited for massive blazes following collisions, said Joey Peoples, a vehicle fire safety expert for SP Fire Research.
Almost every window on the bus involved with Thursday's crash was available as an emergency exit, Rosekind said Sunday. Students escaped through them before the fiery explosion that devoured the vehicles.
"Once you have a fire,it's now simply a matter of how do we buy enough time to evacuate all the passengers," Peoples said.
However, safety standards to make large buses easier for passengers to escape after a crash have not been adopted 15 years after accident investigators called for new rules.
The NTSB will also evaluate whether there should have been a barrier on the median to help prevent head-on collisions. Barriers are required when medians are less than 50 feet wide; this one was 60.

Utah woman arrested after 7 dead babies found
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PLEASANT GROVE, Utah
INSTANT GROVE, Utah — A Utah woman accused of killing seven babies she gave birth to over 10 years was arrested Sunday after police discovered the tiny bodies stuffed in separate cardboard boxes in the garage of her former home.
Megari Huntsman, 39, who lived in the Pleasant Grove home until three years ago, had the infants between 1996 and 2006, investigators said.
Neighbors in the middle-class neighborhood of most older homes 35 miles south of Salt Lake City say they were shocked by the accusations and perplexed that the woman's older children still living in the home didn't know their mother was pregnant or notice anything suspicious.

Roberts declined to comment on a motive. He said it wasn't clear if she has an attorney. Huntsman was booked Sunday into the Utah County Jail on six counts of murder. It wasn't immediately clear why there were six counts and not seven.
Officers responded to a call Saturday from Huntsman's estranged husband about a dead infant at the home, police Capt. Michael Roberts said. Officers then discovered the six other bodies.
The spokesman said police believe the estranged husband and Huntsman were together when the babies were born, but the man isn't a person of interest at this time. His name was not immediately released.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Authorities investigate a crime scene at a house in Pleasant Grove Utah, Sunday. According to the Pleasant Grove Police Department, seven dead infants were found in the former home of Megan Huntsman, 39.
Asked how the man could not have known, Roberts replied, "That's the million-dollar question. Amazing."
parents in a city at the foot of snow-capped mountains. It's a nondescript, newer home with a brick facade and a star ornament hanging by the door. Several police cars blocked the entrance to the house Sunday evening as officers milled about with the belongings from the garage strewn across the front lawn.
The babies' bodies were sent to the Utah medical examiner's office for tests, including one to determine the cause of death. DNA samples taken from the suspect and her husband will determine definitively whether the two are the parents as investigators believe.
Police say the husband was cleaning out the garage when he made the grisly discovery at the house owned by his
"We don't believe he had any knowledge of the situation," Roberts told The Associated Press.
Neighbors told the AP they were shocked and horrified by the accusations. None of them even knew Huntsman was pregnant in recent years.
The family members seemed like nice people, said Aaron and Kathie Hawker, who live next door.
Huntsman moved out several years ago, leaving her three daughters, one teenager and two young adults, to live alone, the Hawkers said. They weren't sure where Huntsman has since been living.
Years ago, Huntsman baby-sat the Hawker grandchildren and they were friendly with each other.
"It makes us so sad, we want to cry," Kathie Hawker said. "We enjoyed having them as a neighbor. This has just blown
us away."
Aaron Hawker said he talked with the husband Saturday morning. He told Hawker he was cleaning out the mess in the garage.
"Two hours later, suddenly we had all these policemen here," Aaron Hawker said.
fred Newman, a neighbor whose cousin is the husband's mother, said he's perplexed how the three oldest daughters living there didn't know about what police say was going on. He said the girls didn't always park their cars in the garage, but did sometimes in the cold
winter months.
He said he has used his snow-blower to clean off the driveway of the home and the young women would thank him.
Roberts said the case has been "emotionally draining" and upsetting to investigators.

Woman accused of tossing shoe at Clinton released

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks to members of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Thursday.
LAS VEGAS — A Phoenix woman accused of throwing a shoe some 60 feet toward Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared aware during questioning by U.S. Secret Service agents of the allegation against her, authorities said Friday.
Alison Michelle Ernst, 36, was given a misdemeanor disorderly conduct summons and freed after she was booked at the Clark County jail, according to a Las Vegas police arrest report.
"Ms Ernst appeared to be in an agitated state but aware of what she had just done," the report said.
Ernst could face up to a year in the county lockup if she is convicted of violating a county ordinance during the Thursday incident at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.
She is accused of bypassing security and walking quickly toward a rope line about six rows from the front of a conference audience. Police say she reached into a purse, removed the shoe and threw it overhand toward the stage.
Clinton ducked and wasn't struck. She appeared startled but quickly cracked a couple jokes before continuing her keynote speech to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries. The audience applauded.
Ernst was ushered by security guards out of the ballroom with her hands in the air and sat calmly afterward on a sofa in a hallway. She wore a blonde wig, blue dress and thong sandals.
She told an Associated Press reporter she threw a shoe and dropped some papers but did not identify herself or explain the action. Security officers ushered reporters and photographers away.
A jail booking photo, taken later, shows Ernst with short brown hair.
She couldn't immediately be reached Friday. It wasn't clear if she had a lawyer.
Brian Spellacy, Secret Service supervisory special agent in Las Vegas, said an orange and black athletic shoe was recovered from the stage.
Authorities said Ernst wasn't a credentialed conference attendee and wasn't supposed to have been in the ballroom.
Clinton has Secret Service protection because former presidents and their spouses are covered for their lifetime, Spellacy said.

Over 200,000 cheer UConn champion basketball teams
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. — Nothing like a big win to draw big crowds. But back-to-back victories bring out the biggest.
Hundreds of thousands of University of Connecticut fans jammed the streets of downtown Hartford on Sunday screaming for their victorious UConn Huskies.
Police described the outpouring more than 200,000 people as the largest event anyone could remember in the city of Hartford bigger than the St. Patrick's Day parade, bigger than the 2004 UConn basketball celebration.
"Next to having my children and marrying my wife, this
is the greatest moment of my life," said UConn alumnus Brian Fitzgerald of Glastonbury as he cheered the team.
Fitzgerald had stood in the stands in Texas several days earlier, cheering on the men's team as they won the NCAA championship. The women won the next day, emerging victorious over a strong Notre Dame team.
The women's dominance was unsurprising — they have won a record nine NCAA championships under coach Geno Auriemma, beating the previous NCAA record of eight wins by the University of Tennessee women's team.
The men's win was more stunning, an unexpected run with neophyte coach and former UConn star Kevin Ollie that gave the men a fourth national title.
On Sunday, the women waved gleefully from an open truck rolling out of the state Capitol grounds onto the streets, followed by a truck carrying a grinning men's team.
A passel of leashed Siberian Huskies — the UConn mascot — and their handlers strode by, Mariana Aguirre of Bristol waved a sign reading "Top Dogs Again." A fan of the women's team, Aguirre stood with a crowd of friends who included UConn alumni. "I like the discipline the women show," she said. "I like how they do everything."

The faces are mostly obscured by the backdrop, but some details can be seen, such as facial features and clothing. The overall atmosphere appears to be one of high concentration and focus on the event being held.
North Korean spectators watch from the stands of Kim Il Sung Stadium as runners line up at the start of the Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Sunday. The annual race, which includes a full marathon, a half marathon, and a 10-kilometer run, was open to foreign tourists for the first time this year.

North Korea's capital hosts international marathon
PYONGYANG, North Korea The streets of North Korea's showcase capital were filled with runners from all over the world on Sunday for the annual Pyongyang marathon, which was open to foreign amateurs this year for the first time.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tens of thousands of North Koreans lined the streets to applaud, cheer and sometimes high-five the runners, who were followed by a truck blaring patriotic music. They stood and roared as North Korea's Pak Chol, who completed the men's event in 2 hours, 12 minutes and 26 seconds, crossed the finish line. Compatriots Kim Hye Gyong and her twin sister, Kim Hye Song, finished first and second in the women's race. The winning women's time was 2:27:04.
Known officially as the Mangyongdea Prize International Marathon, the race is sanctioned as a bronze-label
event by the International Association of Athletics Federations and has been held annually for 27 years. Organizers said they decided to allow foreign recreational runners because they wanted to hold a grander race as part of the series of sporting competitions, arts festivals and cultural events marking the birthday of the nation's founder, Kim II Sung, on April 15.
Much of North Korea remains off-limits to foreigners, but Pyongyang, with its broad avenues, plazas and ubiquitous monuments, is more accessible than other places in the secretive and isolated country.
The opening of the race to recreational runners is in keeping with the North's ongoing effort to earn cash revenue by boosting tourism, usually with group tours to major arts performances or attractions the North wants to show off. Tourism agencies that specialize in North Korea said they were surprised by the large number
of entries they received, but noted most were from tourists who primarily wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to see Pyongyang close up, rather than compete in the
run.
"I really wanted to do this race because of the location," said 10-kilometer runner Jen Skym, a 32-year-old Briton living in Hong Kong, who is

Officials said runners from 27 countries took part this year, including 225 amateurs. Though the race has long featured elite athletes from around the world, organizers decided to make it easier for fun-runners to join in by requiring only that the course be completed in four hours — so the roads could be reopened
also four months pregnant. "The scenery was fantastic, and there were so many people watching. It was good motivation to get back into running. I really enjoyed it."
Runners on the generally flat, full-marathon course did four loops around the center of the city of 2.5 million, starting at Kim Il Sung Stadium, moving past the Arch of Triumph, the Friendship Tower and the Kim Il Sung University area. They
then crossed a bridge to the east side of the city and wound their way along the river bank to the stadium. The capacity crowd of 42,000 spectators back in the stadium were treated to soccer games and martial arts exhibitions while they waited for the runners to return.
Earlier this year, North Korea's government announced a plan to create special trade and tourism zones across the country and unveiled its first luxury ski resort, aimed largely at luring ski enthusiasts from abroad. Under the watch of young leader Kim Jong Un, the North has also been giving sports in general a higher profile. Simple recreational sports facilities, such as outdoor basketball courts and roller skating rinks, have been popping up lately in Pyongyang and some other cities.
"I go to international races every year, but this one just strikes me as the most unique," said Jacob Young, of Nova Sco-
ua, Canada. "It's very novel. Usually I would imagine it's the tourists here looking out at the local people. Here, it's them looking at us. We are the show."
To keep the show from getting too colorful, however, the foreign runners were instructed not to carry U.S. or Japanese flags, or wear clothing with large writing or that was deemed inappropriately attention-getting or political
— though one wore blue jeans for the 10-kilometer event. Runners said they were also not allowed to carry cameras during the race, though they snapped away afterward inside the stadium.
"Basically, we just had to wear regular running clothes," said Will Erskine, of Melbourne, Australia. "Some people might have wanted to shoot pictures the whole time. But I don't think it was all that unusual. It was a good experience."

Union wins NCAA title beating Minnesota 7-4
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Tiny Union College skated off with the biggest trophy in college hockey.
And the Dutchmen did it at the expense of two of the sport's giants, toppling Minnesota for its first NCAA title after beating Boston College in the semifinals.
Union scored three times in a 1:54 span in the first period in a 7-4 victory Saturday, two nights after Daniel Cilpini scored three goals in a 5-4 win over Boston College.
Union (32-6-4) won its final 12 games and went 16-0-1 in its last 17. The 2,200-student liberal arts college in Schenectady, N.Y., competes in Division III in all other sports.
"I don't think anyone will call us Cinderella anymore," said Shayne Gostisbehere, who had a goal and two assists against the Gophers.
"They came as advertised." Minnesota coach Don Lucia said. "We knew it coming in."
After Minnesota took a 2-1 lead, Mike Vecchione tied it with 4:01 left in the first, Eli Lichtenwald gave Union the lead 57 seconds later, and Ciampi capped the spree with 2:57 to go.
"The staple of our team all year — we come in waves,"
Union captain Mat Bodie said. "All three of those goals were pack-of-wolf goals where we were just throwing the puck on net."
Bodie, Max Novak and Kevin Sullivan also scored and Colin Stevens made 36 saves.
"A little bit speechless right now," third-year coach Rick Bennett said. "I just happy for our school, for this program and the past players. It's an unbelievable experience."
Justin Kloos, Sam Warning,
Taylor Cammarata and Hudson
Fasching scored for Minnesota (28-7-6). Adam Wilcox stopped 41 shots for the five-time champion Gophers.
"Both teams are better defensively than a 7-4 score shows," Bodie said. "It's just one of those games where crazy bounces happen. We just wanted to stick with our process. We thought we were playing pretty well and great things happened."
Fasching cut it to 5-4 with a power-play goal with 3:40 left. Sullivan put it away with 1:22 to go, and Bodie scored into an empty net with 44.2 seconds remaining.
Cammarata pulled Minnesota within one with the lone goal in the second period, but Novak restored the two-goal cushion on a deflection at 5:31 of the third.
"Just one shift at a time," Bodie said. "This is the biggest game of our lives, hands down, but you've got to treat it like any other game. It was tough, I had people texting me, people calling me and stuff, and, you know, it was real tough to keep that mindset, but with our sport psychologist we were able to get that done."
Kloos opened the scoring on a rebound 2:37 into the first period. Gostisbehere responded by weaving through three opponents and beating Wilcox with a wrist shot to glove side at 9:26.
Less than a minute after Gostisbehere's goal, Warning squeaked a bad-angle shot between Stevens and the pipe to put Minnesota up 2-1.
"He controlled the game," Lucia said about Gostisbehere. "From my vantage point, he was the best player on the ice tonight."
The Dutchmen took over from there.

Combative prosecutor makes mark in Pistorius trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A20961ATER.PRE
PRETORIA, South Africa — Prosecutor Gerrie Nel fired another tough question at murder suspect Oscar Pistorius.
"Are you sure, Mr Pistorius, that Reeva did not scream after you fired the first shot?" asked Nel.
The athlete, who earlier said he was tired and struggling under the relentless interrogation, leaned back in the witness box and remained silent. The wood-lined courtroom in South Africa was hushed and expectant on Friday. Was Pistorius thinking through an answer, or was he on the verge of an emotional outburst, or was he reflecting on his predicament and Reeva Steenkamp, the girlfriend he killed in his home last year?
Oscar Pistorius puts on his jacket as he arrives at the high court in Pretoria, South Africa, Friday. Pistorius is charged with murder for the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day in 2013.
One of the highlights of his career came in 2010 when he secured the conviction on corruption charges of Jackie Selebi, a former national police
Pistorius often seemed worn down as the caustic prosecutor picked holes in parts of his story. The dramatic cross-examination has drawn attention to Nel, a prominent state prosecutor dubbed "pitbull" in local media and on social networks for his combative, often effective style.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
After a tense pause, the Olympic athlete said he wished Steenkamp had let him know she was in the toilet cubicle where he shot her — by mistake, according to his account. He said she did not scream, but also that his ears were ringing with the gunshot and he would not have heard screams.
commissioner and ex-president of Interpol — Nel got an international prosecutors' award for his efforts in that case.
Now Nel's international profile is ascending further after three days of challenging and even ridiculing the claim by Pistorius, 27, that he accidentally killed Steenkamp, 29, by firing through a closed toilet door, mistaking her for an intruder in his house before dawn on Feb. 14, 2013. The prosecution says the double-amputee runner is lying, and that he killed his girlfriend after an argument during which she fled into the toilet cubicle to seek refuge. Nel will continue questioning Pistorius on Monday.
A radio station made a parody rap song about defense lawyer Barry Roux, and now Nel has one too ("They call me Gerrie Nel/And I am mad as hell.") In The Times, a South African newspaper, cartoonist Zapiro depicted Nel as a bullet, his head on the tip, speeding toward an alarmed Pistorius.
He has a gentler side, according to Rapport newspaper. It reported that in his personal time, Nel teaches young children how to wrestle and that he is patient and never loses his temper with his students.
Pistorius' murder trial is being broadcast on television. While Pistorius is not shown on the screen during his testimony, viewers have watched Nel browbeat the once globally admired figure who reached a pinnacle when he ran in the London Olympics in 2012. Pistorius, who has been free on bail for the last year, could be
jailed for 25 years to life if convicted of premeditated murder and also faces three separate gun-related charges.
"You will blame anybody but yourself," Nel told Pistorius last week in an attack on the character of the athlete. It was an attempt to shred the defense's presentation of its client as humble, responsible and loving toward the woman he killed. At one point, Nel laughed derisively at one of a number of answers from Pistorius that he described as
evasive or contradictory, or downright false, prompting Judge Thokozile Masipa to reprimand the prosecutor for the outburst.
On another occasion, Masipa cautioned Nel to "mind your language" for accusing the athlete of lying.
In 2008, Nel was arrested in what his backers said was an attempt to interfere with the case against Selebi, the former police chief, but he was soon cleared. Nel was also head of the regional branch of the
Scorpions, a crime-fighting unit that was later disbanded in a decision that raised concern about the independence of law enforcement from politics. He was a prosecutor in a case leading to the convictions of two men for the 1993 killing of Chris Hani, an anti-apartheid leader whose death stirred fears of racial violence as South Africa transitioned from white rule to an all-race democracy.
court to fend his way through a crush of press and bystanders. On a recent afternoon, Nel left the court quietly, unassuming in a dark suit and open-necked shirt. Despite his newfound celebrity status, he walked across the street, almost unnoticed.

GOLF
Bubba Watson wins another green jacket at Augusta
ASSOCIATED PRESS
All he cared about was slipping into that green jacket.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — One of golf's most exciting players squeezed most of the drama out of the Masters on Sunday. That's just fine with Bubba Watson.
Instead of hitting a 40-yard hook out of a forest of Georgia pines — the signature shot in his playoff victory two years ago — the final act Sunday at Augusta National took place on the 18th green. Watson had a three-shot lead and consulted with his caddie on a 15-foot birdie putt.
"I went over to him and I said, 'I'm not very good at math, but we've got four putts, right?' Watson said.
This was more about great golf than Bubba golf.
vatson kept his poise during an early burst of birdies from 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, turned the tournament in his favor with consecutive two-shot swings to close out the front nine, and coasted to a 3-under 69 to win the Masters by three shots over Spieth and Jonas Blikt of Sweden.
Watson made it look routine over the final hour. On a Sunday when Spieth was trying to become the youngest winner in Masters history and 50-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez had a chance to become the oldest major champion, Watson turned in another masterpiece and joined an elite group as the 17th player to win multiple Masters.

"Small-town guy named Bubba now has two green jackets." Watson said. "It's pretty wild."
Surprisingly for Augusta, the most compelling action was on the front nine.
His only nervous moment was a drive so mammoth around the corner on the 13th hole that it clipped a few trees

two-shot lead through seven holes. Bidding to become the first player in 35 years to win a green jacket in his first try, Spieth looked to be well on his way.
But he three-putted for bogey on No. 8 — the first six on his card all week — as Watson got up-and-down for birdie to tie for the lead. Spieth then made a rookie mistake, leaving his approach below the flagstick on No. 9 and watching it roll back into the fairway, setting up another bogey and two-shot swing.

"Obviously, I've worked my whole life to lead Augusta on Sunday. And although I feel like it's very early in my career, and I'll have more chances, it's a stinger," Spieth said.
Nine players were separated by three shots at the start of the final round only for this to turn into a two-man show. For the opening two hours, it was anything but dull.
Watson finished at 8-under 280 and goes to a career-best No.4 in the world.

Two holes to close out the back nine changed everything. Amen Corner swung the Masters in Watson's favor for good.

COZART TO PUT ON WEIGHT
DURING OFFSEASON
Sophomore Montell Cozart's development as a dual-threat quarterback has been a thorough process that has experienced some hiccups and some signs of encouragement along the way.
On Saturday, he showed more poised version of himself, navigating the pocket with the confidence that a second-year quarterback should.
"Right now I'm really happy that we made the decision to play him last year," said coach Charlie Weis. "That was not the easiest decision to make when you could try to save him. He looks like a different player."
To embellish Cozart's presence as a more prevalent pocket passer who is able to shed the hits, Cozart intends to put on more weight in the offseason. The quarterback said that the coaches approached him and wanted him to bulk up before the 2014 season.
"Putting on some weight, that's what I'll work on,"
Cozart said. "Trying to get to 205. I got to get some weight on."
Cozart currently sits at 180 pounds.

NEW OFFENSE GRADUALLY
IMPROVES AFTER A ROUGH
FIRST HALF
AMIE JUST/KANSAN
9
On Tuesday, Weis hinted at the notion that the installment of the offense in the spring game would be vastly different from actual game planning for an opponent and it held true.
John Reagan, the new offensive coordinator, didn't hold back implementing some trick plays, options and a broader version of what the offense will eventually be narrowed down to in the fall.
"They did have some bad field positions, but they got into some long yardage situations on top of that they couldn't convert on," Weis said. "In the second half I thought they played much cleaner and more the way we would like to be playing."
Moving the ball was burdensome in Reagan's new offense out of the gate as the first team offense had some trouble early on and couldn't work out the kinks.
It failed to cross midfield the entire first half.
It picked up in the second half thanks to some lengthy runs by Cozart and locked into the flow of the offense, spreading the ball through the air much more efficiently, amassing 95 total passing yards in the second half.
Senior quarterback Jake Heaps didn't complete a pass in the entire first half, and combined with Cozart's output, accumulated four total passing yards.
The newly incorporated offense features much more no-huddle, spread formations with designed runs and zone reads mixed in. All of the nuances are still being cultivated, but overall it has been steadily settling in.
"There are two different types of questions. One is the competition." Weis said. "There's those types of questions then there is how fast and how much of the offense are players going to be able to handle right off the bat and get ready to go. I'm generally pleased with how much they've picked up."
TRE PARMALEE THROWS FIRST
TOUCHDOWN PASS OF THE GAME
While Cozart didn't throw a touchdown pass, his roommate and his high school teammate from Bishop Miege, junior wide receiver Tre Parmalee, did.
Parmalee, receiving the ball on a reverse handoff, connected with senior wide receiver Andrew Turzilli for a 26-yard touchdown pass, which ignited some back and forth between him and Cozart.
"That's my roommate so I had to give him some stuff about it," Cozart said. "He let it go, he threw a perfect ball."
Weis jumped in on the fun between the two in the locker room after the game.
"We have finally found a Bishop Miege quarterback that can throw," Weis said.

Cozart shows promise as quarterback at spring scrimmage
FOOTBALL
BEN BURCH sports@kansan.com
Quarterback Michael Cummings runs past defensive lineman Ben Goodman on Saturday during the Kansas Spring Game.
It wasn't the first time sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart's speed was displayed at Memorial Stadium, but it was fun to watch nonetheless.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
With a little over six minutes left in the fourth quarter of the Jayhawk's spring football scrimmage, Cozart took a shotgun snap and began reading the defense for the option play. Seeing that the opposing linebacker was closing on the running back, Cozart tucked the ball under his arm and decided to keep it himself, running through a hole opened up by his offensive line. Bouncing outside, Cozart turned on the jets, beating the defense to the sideline and turning it up field. From there, it was off to the races, with freshman safety Tevin Shaw right on Cozart's heels. It looked as though Cozart would take it all the way until Shaw made a last-ditch effort, leaping and pushing Cozart off balance, causing Cozart to step on the sideline at the three-yard line before he could cross into the endzone. Or, at least, the referee said Cozart stepped out.
"I definitely think I got in [for a touchdown]," Cozart said. "They said I stepped out, but I don't think so."
goal line just two plays later on a two-yard rush, marking his second rushing touchdown of the day and giving the blue squad the 19-10 lead over the white team. He would finish the day with 70 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to go along with a solid 58 yards on six for ten passing. Cozart, who began to show flashes of potential at the end of last season, pleased many with his performance, including coach Charlie Weis.
In the end it wouldn't matter that the 60-yard run didn't finish in a touchdown, as Cozart would run the ball across the
"I was pleased to see [Montell] sit in the pocket ... I like to see him do that and throw the ball down the field and drop back passes," Weis said. "We know he can bootleg and run on the edge, but it was good to see him show some poise in the pocket."
Although Cozart had a good outing, he still does not have the starting quarterback job for this season locked up, as he's currently in a battle with senior Jake Heaps, who split playing time with Cozart as the blue team's quarterback at the game. Heaps did not have the kind of day Cozart had, tossing for 41 yards on an inefficient three for nine passing. But, even though Cozart had the better game, Weis claims he is in no rush to pick his starter yet, saying they plan on using the uncertainty of who the quarterback will be to their advantage.
"Why should we tell the opponents [who the starter is]?
... [B]eause now every team we'll be playing against can sit there and say 'the guy is [Cozart]' and just gets ready for the things you're going to do with [Cozart]," Weis said. "Montell played better than everyone today, but that has not been a daily [occurrence]."
Even though the starting quarterback job is still up in the air, days like today give Cozart a good shot at securing it, as he showed he has the ability to affect games in a variety of ways. As expected, Cozart's running game stood out, as his 70 rushing yards trailed only junior running back Brandon Bourbon's 96 rushing yards for the most in the game.
“[Extending plays] is just something I do. That's just the kind of quarterback I am," Cozart said. "They tell me when the pass is not there or the first read is not there to be able to move around the pocket while still looking down field and be able to extend those plays and be able to still make a throw"
While the 60-yard run stood out as the clearest example of his running prowess, other plays in the game showed that Cozart's quick feet can also help him avoid sacks and extend broken plays.
What was more surprising than his effective game on the ground was that Cozart,
who struggled at times with his passing game last season, looked impressive through the air, making accurate throws both across the middle and to the sideline. Weis claims that today was proof that Cozart is making strides to become a more patient and efficient passer than he was last season.
"I'm really happy that we made the decision to play [Cozart] last year," Weis said. "That was not the easiest decision when you could have tried to save him, but I am glad because he looks like a different player. You saw him stand in the pocket [and] he showed poise."
Kansas football teams have
struggled to find a stable quarterback since former layhawk Todd Reesing, who led the 2008 Kansas team to an Orange Bowl victory, graduated after his senior season in 2009. In fact, in the four seasons since Reesing's departure, there have been seven different quarterbacks starting for the layhawks. Although it is too early to tell, Cozart's performance at the spring game shows that he has the potential to possibly provide some long-awaited steadiness at the quarterback position.

THE MORNING BREW
Cozart takes offensive MVP in Spring Game
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart shined in the Spring Game on Saturday, taking home the
$ S $
Ozart shined in the Spring Game on Saturday, taking home the game's offensive MVP honor. The fans in attendance were reminded of what Cozart is capable of when he faked the defense and used his breakaway speed to go 60 yards, bringing his team to the three-yard line, and eventually, taking the ball into the end zone.
Cozart ran for a pair of touchdowns while helping the Blue squad come back from behind in the second half. He showed signs of promise during the rally, but his throwing mechanics remain a concern.
After Jake Heaps spent 2012 on the scout team while watching Dayne Crist, the expectation was that spending one year learning Weis' offense would benefit him in 2013. It went the other way, however, as Weis entertained the idea of switching quarterbacks midway through the season, and later made Cozart a part of the offense.
As a freshman, he connected on 37 percent of his throws. Despite the low number in passes completed, coach Charlie Weis said he was glad that Cozart played last year.
By Farzin Vousoughian
sports@kansan.com
While Heaps has the experience, it simply comes down to who can help
Kansas become competitive and pick up wins. The Jayhawks went 4-20 in Weis' first two years with the team, and they want to dig themselves out of that slump.
Cozart's experience as a freshman helped him get a good grasp of college football. With more repetitions in the offseason, Weis is seeing progress from Cozart.
"He looks like a different player." Weis said. "He showed poise. He was six for 10, but a couple of those incompletions were throwaways, which, that's a good thing, too."
Weis has coached some of the best offenses in the NFL and has tuned up quarterbacks in the past. While there is no definitive starting quarterback for the 2014 season, don't be surprised if Cozart is the starting quarterback to open up the 2014 season against Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 6.
With seven games under his belt, Cozart has some momentum and an understanding of college football. Letting him take the snaps as a sophomore will give him more experience, and perhaps Kansas fans will witness a lot of growth throughout the season. In fact, with his abilities, he gives Kansas the best chance to be competitive.
east Missouri State on Sept. 6.
Outside of gaining familiarity with Wets' offense.
THE BREW
Ine Jayhawks will still be expected to finish either last or close to last in the Big 12 Conference, to no one's surprise. But by the time the 2014 season is over, Cozart can help dig the Jayhawks away from the bottom of the Big 12, and have a hand in turning them into a more competitive squad.
Cozart has gotten to know his running backs, fullbacks, tight ends and wide receivers fairly well, which is rare for most sophomores at the quarterback position in college football.
Entering the middle of the season and taking the offense as a freshman is a tall order. His performance from 2013 shouldn't discourage fans. Cozart
showed flashes when he played, and with more practice and experience, fans can expect him to turn flashes into positive consistency.
Phase one of the college football process is over for Cozart. Now, he needs to learn
from his mistakes and implement what he's learned in the offseason into the 2014 season. He will be a more polished quarterback by the time the 2014 season is over.
Kansas is working its way to be a better team. With Cozart under center, fans should feel encouraged about the future. With Weis now in his third year with the team, the expectation should be that he knows who his quarterback is and Kansas should start adding more victories to the win column.

COMMENTARY Spring Game surprises team
By Blake Schuster
sports@kansan.com
The jawing began just moments after the rosters were announced, as soon as it became clear that the Blue Team — comprising Kansas' most likely starters — was assembled for the sole purpose of beating the White Team on the field.
Kansas coach Charlie Weis knew this. It was exactly what he wanted. When the Blue Team was taking its comfortable lead into halftime, he would flip the score, making his happy-go-lucky starters fight their way back from whatever hole they dug their opponents in. Weis even had his staff tell the media of his "secret rule" before the game.
Surely the talent level on the White Team couldn't manufacture plays. After all, they were backups for a reason.
Unfortunately for Weis, the rule stayed a secret. It turns out that after teasing your backups for long enough, they start to believe they can win. And then they begin to prove it.
While the Blue Team struggled to get past midfield in the first half — they made it to the White Team's 49-yard line before moving backwards on consecutive plays — the White Team went up 7-0.
"You're just trying to have fun and stuff and then you realize, OK, we've got to settle down now." Blue Team defensive lineman Ken Ewaters said. "Everybody has a chip on their shoulder. The White Team had a big chip today."
As much as Weis wanted to stack the odds against the starters in the second half, the Blue Team took care of that for him. In many ways, that was more important.
In nine of their 12 games last season, the Jayhawks trailed at halftime. Weis doesn't need to pull any tricks to get his team to play with urgency, but that doesn't mean he didn't need to see how they would respond.
So when Stowers and the other Kansas' leaders marched back into the locker room at halftime there was no more joking, no more teasing and this was no longer about which side had more talent.
"The leaders were just getting on everybody in the locker room," Stowers said. "The twos looked better than the ones out there."
By the time the Blue Team took the field for the third quarter, everything about them seemed different. Their pride was on the line and, if they weren't careful, their starting roles could be, too.
That's what Weis wanted to create by flipping the score. But the Blue Team forced the comeback on their own, emerging with a 20-10 victory, with the score every bit as important as how the Blue Team achieved it.
And in the moments when the top players needed to make plays, they found a way to get it done, whether it was Montell Cozart or Tony Pierson or Stowers.
"You're getting season-like situations," Stowers said. "That's a damn good rhythm to get into."

The Kansas football Blue and White Spring Game on Saturday was just another glorified scrimmage, coach Charlie Weis said. The Blue Team, which consisted of starters on offense and defense, defeated the White Team 20-10.
"We still have questions, but we got a lot more answers," Weis said.
The Blue team didn't look like starters in the first half because the White team led at halftime 7-0.
"They came out and punched us in the mouth," said Montell Cozart, sophomore quarterback of the Blue Team.
The White Team scored on a Tre Parmalee 26-yard pass to Andrew Turzilli. The junior wide receiver, Parmalee, was split out wide and ran a reverse-pass to the senior wide receiver Turzilli for the only score for both teams in the first half.
Parmalee and Cozart went to the same high school, Bishop Miege, in Kansas City, Kan. After the game, Weis went into the locker room and told the team that the Jayhawks
finally have a Bishop Miege quarterback that can throw. Cozart and Parmalee are also roommates this year.
"I had to give him some stuff about it," Cozart said about Parmalee's touchdown pass.
The White defense held the Blue offense to 53 total yards, and the White offence ran for 76 yards on the Blue defense. The starters looked like the back-ups, senior defensive linemen Keon Stowers said.
The Blue offense crossed midfield once in the first half and compiled four first downs.
"When I set up the team personnel wise, you would think that the Blue team would have an advantage," Weis said.
The wide receivers on both teams played well, including Miami of Ohio transfer senior Nick Harwell who led the Blue team with four receptions. Weis said that the wide receiver position is deep and right now junior Rodriguez Coleman and senior Justin McCay have a tight battle for the X-position.
“In the past two weeks I don't think we have had five dropped balls,” Weis said
about the Kansas wide receivers consistency in practice.
Senior quarterback Jake Heaps and Cozart combined 2-6 for four yards in the first half. Heaps and Cozart are in a potential quarterback battle during the summer, but today Cozart, who was the games' Offensive MVP, looked apart from Heaps.
In the second half Cozart carried the Blue team with a 60-yard run to the White team's four yard line then two plays later he ran it himself for the touchdown.
Heaps, who in the 2013 Spring Game threw for 257 yards and four touchdowns, struggled Saturday. He was
0-2 in the first half and finished with 41 yards on three completions.
"We're all even keel," Cozart said about the quarterback battle between Heaps and himself.
The Blue defense held the White offense to 94 yards of
total offense. Stowers, who was the Defensive MVP, had eight total tackles.
"I think the first-defense picked it up tremendously in the second half" Stowers said. The Spring Game showed that the Jayhawks aren't quite ready, but everything can turn into a positive.
"We came out injury free today," Weis said.

Coming off their disappointing series sweep against Iowa in their midweek two-game set, the Jayhawks were set to play the hottest team in the Big 12. Kansas (22-15) welcomed the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University (22-13) in a three-game series at Hoglund Ballpark this past weekend. The Horned Frogs came into the conference matchup riding a five-game winning streak, having not lost in the month of April.
In game one on Friday night the Jayhawks saw the best pitcher in the country, left-handed pitcher Brandon Finnegan, a first-round draft prospect who allowed a mere 35 base hits coming into game one. Kansas scored two runs off nine hits, eight of which came off Finnegan in the 5-2 loss.
5-1 victory in the nightcap of the doubleheader on Saturday, the Jayhawks moved to 6-6 in conference play to keep their season alive.
"I thought we played well all three games," said coach Ritch Price. "Luckily we played well enough in the final game to salvage the series; they came in red hot, playing their best baseball."
has settled into his new role as the Friday night starter. After getting beat up in his first start against Kansas State, he tossed the most innings of his Jayhawk career with six, allowing four runs off 10 hits.
"It's coming back to me," Piché said. "It's a different mindset; I don't like giving up hits and as a starter you are going to give up hits."
Game two was another battle of the arms as the Horned Frogs tossed out their crafty right-handed pitcher Preston Morrison. Kansas struggled to get contact off his off-speed stuff as they managed only four hits, and their lone run coming from a solo shot over the left field wall by junior outfielder Connor McKay in the seventh.

"Morrison is real good with his sinker and slider," McKay said. "He kept us off balance with his fastball. Hats off to him for pitching a phenomenal game."
Junior right-handed pitcher Robert Kahana pitched a complete game in a losing effort for Kansas. He allowed three runs off nine hits for his second complete game of the season, to avoid using the bullpen in the first of a doubleheader on Saturday.
After scoring a combined three runs in the first two games, the Jayhawks got their offense going in game three. Junior outfielder Dakota Smith, who didn't start in game one of the doubleheader, had three runs batted in, including a sliding triple in
the sixth to score two.
McKay added home runs eight and nine on the year, with two more solo shots over the left field wall. He now leads the conference in runs batted in with 38.
Kansas' senior right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan tossed a beauty in game three, as he went 8.1 innings deep, allowing one run off five hits, striking out seven in his fourth win on the year.
Kansas will look to keep its season alive with a crucial midweek home series against non-conference opponent Grand Canyon. Game one of the two-game series will be Tuesday, April 16, at 6 p.m.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
As summer quickly approaches, the weather is getting warmer, the flowers are blooming and, unfortunately, it is becoming harder and harder to stay focused. We have put together our final apartment guide to help make the stress of finding an apartment and organizing a lease less of a burden on students. It can be an easy and enjoyable search that leads you to a great apartment if you pay attention and plan ahead:
Renting your own apartment for the first time can become overwhelming when you begin to realize all of the work that goes into finding the perfect new pad, but a few helpful tips and advice from fellow University students can expedite the process. And if you're feeling overwhelmed or agitated with housing or apartments in Lawrence, check out our breakdown of housing expenses among other Big 12 universities.
With the nice weather comes outdoor activities and that includes gardening. The KU Farming Club allows University students who do not have the space to plant, the areas and resources to make gardening easy and convenient. And with Earth Day on April 22 we've included tips on how to respect the environment by learning how and where to recycle in Lawrence.

Rows of freshly planted seedlings begin to break the soil's surface at Lawrence Community Orchard, a garden located at 830 Garfield St. in east Lawrence.
KU Student Farms gives students gardening options
JENNIFER SALVA
entertain@kansan.com
Apartments and student housing may not have enough sunlight or space to satisfy your green thumb, but KU Student Farms has all the resources you need to start and maintain your own garden.
"We provide students the opportunity to learn how to grow food. We support the idea of local food systems and we try to make the process of learning for new beginners as stress free as possible," said Katrina McClure, a graduate student in geography and program coordinator of KU Student Farms.
KU Student Farms uses one of the University's two greenhouses to get plants like tomatoes and peppers ready to be planted. The Farm has 25 four-by-32 square-foot plots located five miles from campus in north Lawrence on Constant Avenue.
The group will even provide seeds and access to tools for new growers.
KU Student Farms offer collective gardening plots for a suggested donation of $15 a year, or $40 a year for an individual plot with $20 returned to the grower if they ready their space for the next user.
"Gardening doesn't have to be expensive, but we want to make it as cheap as we can, especially for beginners," McClure said. "We don't turn anyone away for a lack of funds, ever."
McClure recommends that beginners use a collective space, or have family and friends help them maintain an individual plot, because gardening requires commitment and consistency.
"I would recommend it to a student that was highly motivated and responsible, and someone that was really able to give it the amount of time that it requires", McClure said.
Although it can be gratifying to make a meal from food you planted and harvested yourself, KU Student Farms also gives some of its produce to the community.
The Farms has contributed sweet potatoes to the Veggie Lunch at Ecumenical Campus Ministries on Thursdays, and hopes to donate some of the coming produce to the Lawrence Community Shelter.
Students can also use gardening to give back to their community by volunteering at school gardens or the homeless shelter garden, McClure said.
Whatever your reason for getting your hands dirty, gardening is a fun, positive way to learn new skills and practice sustainable local food systems, McClure said.
For more information about growing with KU Student Farms, contact Katrina McClure at kufarming@gmail.com.
"Gardening is a lifestyle;" McClure said.

RECYCLING
Start your Earth Day resolution early and recycle
entertain@kansan.com
JULIA JOHNSON
Earth Day is just around the corner, but why just be environmentally conscious only one day out of the year? As going green becomes more popular, some students are realizing the importance of recycling.
"As a conservationist I find it necessary to keep what little natural resources we have intact," said Emma Donachie, a senior from Dallas. "Being a wilderness ranger helped me understand the true beauty of America's resources. Yes, recycling is energy demanding. However, I envision a world that reuses, reduces and recycles our existing resources so we can begin to rehabilitate our planet."
The City of Lawrence provides residents with 13 recycling drop-off locations in Lawrence. For a list of these locations, visit the City of Lawrence's website. The Solid Waste Task Force and the City Commission will implement curbside recycling in Lawrence in October. But until the establishment of the curbside residential recycling program, students are struggling to recycle.

"I would love to recycle, but between juggling classes and work I don't have much time to sort and drop off my recycling," said Meghan Paulson, a senior from Colorado Springs, Colo.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States generated 243 million tons of trash in 2009. Kappa Delta is jumping on the go-green bandwagon and has created a recycling system for the house.
"Pick one item and really focus on it," Donachie said. "Try plastic bottles. Become an expert on that one resource and then move on to the next one."
"We will have recycling bins inside the house for paper and outside of the house for other recyclable items," said Halle Mccourt, a sophomore from Olathe. "I'm really excited about this because when 80 girls are living in one house, a lot of waste is created. I hope that with recycling bins we will be able to implement a more sustainable way of living within the chapter."
Curious on how to start recycling? Donachie says the first step is to start small.

Jayhawks avoid the sweep against TCU
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
Coming off their disappointing series sweep against Iowa in their midweek two-game set, the Jayhawks were set to play the hottest team in the Big 12. Kansas (22-15) welcomed the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University (22-13) in a three-game series at Hoglund Ballpark this past weekend. The Horned Frogs came into the conference matchup riding a five-game winning streak, having not lost in the month of April.
The jayhawks dropped the first two games 5-2 and 3-1 in tightly contested pitching duels. They salvaged the series by avoiding the sweep and winning game three. With the
In game one on Friday night the Jayhawks saw the best pitcher in the country, left-handed pitcher Brandon Finnegan, a first-round draft prospect who allowed a mere 35 base hits coming into game one. Kansas scored two runs off nine hits, eight of which came off Finnegan in the 5-2 loss.
5-1 victory in the nightcap of the doubleheader on Saturday, the Jayhawks moved to 6-6 in conference play to keep their season alive.
"I thought we played well all three games," said coach Ritch Price. "Luckily we played well enough in the final game to salvage the series; they came in red hot, playing their best baseball."
has settled into his new role as the Friday night starter. After getting beat up in his first start against Kansas State, he tossed the most innings of his Jayhawk career with six, allowing four runs off 10 hits.
Game two was another battle of the arms as the Horned Frogs tossed out their crafty right-handed pitcher Preston Morrison. Kansas struggled to get contact off his off-speed stuff as they managed only four hits, and their lone run coming from a solo shot over the left field wall by junior outfielder Connor McKay in the seventh.
"It's coming back to me," Piché said. "It's a different mindset; I don't like giving up hits and as a starter you are going to give up hits."
"Morrison is real good with his sinker and slider," McKay said. "He kept us off balance with his fastball. Hats off to him for pitching a phenomenal game."
Junior right-handed pitcher Robert Kahana pitched a complete game in a losing effort for Kansas. He allowed three runs off nine hits for his second complete game of the season, to avoid using the bullpen in the first of a doubleheader on Saturday.
Senior pitcher Jordan Piché
After scoring a combined three runs in the first two games, the Jayhawks got their offense going in game three. Junior outfielder Dakota Smith, who didn't start in game one of the doubleheader, had three runs batted in, including a sliding triple in
the sixth to score two.
McKay added home runs eight and nine on the year, with two more solo shots over the left field wall. He now leads the conference in runs batted in with 38.
Kansas' senior right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan tossed a beauty in game three, as he went 8.1 innings deep, allowing one run off five hits, striking out seven in his fourth win on the year.
Kansas will look to keep its season alive with a crucial midweek home series against non-conference opponent Grand Canyon. Game one of the two-game series will be Tuesday, April 16, at 6 p.m.

HOUSING
Craigslist allows students to house hunt with ease
KAYLA SOPER

Real estate agent Thomas Howe says you might be overlooking some stuff when you opt out of having an agent and do it yourself.
"Houses are really complex and the process is really complex, but we know the process and we can make it way less complex," Howe said.
Craigslist has allowed college students to become their own real estate agents. Finding your next place to live on Craiglist can be a good idea, but there are some important things to remember when using the online service.
When looking online, Howe said it's important not to forget about looking for things like structural information and making sure it is safe. Doing inspections, working with insurance and making sure ownership can be be passed along to you are also beneficial.
"On Craigslist, when you just use one source or single dimensional, you are relying on the person whose interest is in selling the home or on your own abilities," Howe said. "My role for you is to give you judgment advice and counsel your best interest above everything. Just here to help you make good decisions."
A misconception about real estate agents is that it will cost you money. But actually, the money comes from the transaction, not the buyer.
Howe does about 40 inspections a year and guesses that other real estate agents do about the same. With all that experience comes knowledge
We have all heard horror stories about online dating; online apartment shopping is no different. There are a few important pieces of information to keep in mind while surfing the web.
First, never wire money to a landlord or agree to do business with someone who won't meet in person. It never hurts to search names or ask to speak to past tenants to gain some insight on how the properties are run.
about buying and selling homes that the average student looking for housing doesn't have.
Edited by Sarah Kramer
Second, if you find a place you like, act quickly. Ads on Craigslist are posted constantly, and with hundreds of people searching, you don't want to waste time and have the apartment of your dreams swept up from underneath you.
Finally, stay professional and prepared. Email your prospective landlord respectfully when you know you are serious about a location and when you plan to view the property, bring the proper paperwork. Bringing a check, recommendation letter, recent pay stub and current credit check will let your future landlord know that you are serious and responsible.
Using Craigslist has become a new way to search for housing and can be successful if done properly, but using a professional agent can be helpful for those worried, stressed or short on time.

alongside the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control's website, tuberculosis is spread when a person with the disease in his or her lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. People nearby may become infected when breathing in the tuberculosis bacteria. The disease is not spread by physical contact such as shaking hands or sharing food and drink.
Only those who spent time in a confined space with the infected student are at risk of developing tuberculosis and those at risk have already notified.
Tom DeHart
The University encourages students and faculty to visit the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department's webpage for more information.
mely said it is possible the Court of Appeals will issue another injunction, which means voting results could be released later than Friday.
Last Thursday in a hearing, Jayhawkers' appeal to the disqualification was turned down by the Court of Appeals based on multiple conflicts of interest in multiple coalitions. The appeal was then expedited to the University Judicial Board and the board is slated to make a decision within a week or so.
Until the next student body president and vice president are determined, the current executive staff said in a press release that they will continue to work diligently and await a timely decision. They also said they trust the UJB will make a decision that upholds the integrity of the Student Senate elections process.
However, if the University Judicial Board calls for another hearing, a decision might take several weeks.

HOUSING
How University of Kansas housing compares to rivals
entertain@kansan.com
While University of Kansas students may complain about rent, electricity and utilities, students here actually pay much less than other schools in the Big 12 when it comes to living expenses.
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
"Although I live off campus, it's still within walking distance of all my classes," said Kacey Grooms, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan. "And because there's no RA or anything like we were all used to at the dorms, there's definitely more freedom."
Lawrence residents have a variety of living plans available to them from apartments to duplexes and houses, there are many options and price ranges to choose from. According to apartmentguide.com, two four-bedroom apartments in Lawrence range from $300-$500 per month depending on location and proximity to campus.

According to K-State's website, most unfurnished studio apartments range from $300-$500 and a two-bedroom apartment is typically around $450-700 per month.
"I live off campus in a duplex, which costs around $360 per month without the costs of utilities," said Mikayla Kortan, a sophomore at K-State. "But I really do love the location, which makes it worth it. I'm three blocks from campus, so getting to class is really easy and convenient."
campus and accessible online provides students with information, including sample letters for communication with landlords, updated rental listings and a guide to reading a lease. Stillwater also offers free transportation to campus every ten minutes. However, rent tends to be on the higher side as many apartments cost around $600 per month. Many students on the OSU off-campus forum recommended houses rather than apartments because of the cost.
"I live in on-campus apartments with three roommates," said Sam Aldrich, a junior at OSU. "Most of my friends live really close to me and there are lots of on and off-campus dining options. We're also really close to the strip, which is where all the bars and good restaurants are."

JSU offers at least six different apartment complexes all within two miles of campus, however apartment rent averages around $500.

Quick tips on how to secure your summer housing
FOR RENT
CORRINE DORRIAN entertain@kansan.com
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Students can talk to apartment housing complexes to arrange summer housing.
With summer quickly approaching, many students have housing on their minds. While some choose to go home for the summer months, others may decide to search for apartments or houses for their summer stay. Searching for a good, affordable place to live is always very important. Whether it's for a year or only a few months, most students have a hard time figuring out how to start the process of searching.
According to Megan Madsen, The Grove Lawrence sales manager, the best way to find a summer lease is by stopping by the apartment complex's leasing office to ask. Not all apartment complexes are the same though. Some might have a subleasing policy and others may not. Subleasing is a route that many students decide to take; this allows the renter to put someone else's name on the lease if the renter is no longer going to be living there.
going to be living there Madsen also suggests beginning your search early on.
"I suggest looking for summer leases in December. The chances of securing a spot are higher the earlier you start looking;" Madsen said.
Campus Living author for hercampus.com. Kathleen Corlett, suggests knowing ahead of time what you're looking for in summer housing. This includes knowing whether or not a place is furnished, if it is within walking distance to your destinations and whether it comes with roommates or not. Doing this will allow you to narrow down your options and eventually rank them. Corlett also says to check websites, such as sublet.com and craigslist.com for advertisements. She also said that when you find an ad you like, accumulate all the information you can, such as asking for photos and pricing details.

According to the Centers for Disease Control's website, tuberculosis is spread when a person with the disease in his or her lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. People nearby may become infected when breathing in the tuberculosis bacteria. The disease is not spread by physical contact such as shaking hands or sharing food and drink.
Only those who spent time in a confined space with the infected student are at risk of developing tuberculosis and those at risk have already been notified.

Last Thursday in a hearing, Jayhawkers' appeal to the disqualification was turned down by the Court of Appeals based on multiple conflicts of interest in multiple coalitions. The appeal was then expedited to the University Judicial Board and the board is slated to make a decision within a week or so.
mely said it is possible the Court of Appeals will issue another injunction, which means voting results could be released later than Friday.
Until the next student body president and vice president are determined, the current executive staff said in a press release that they will continue to work diligently and await a timely decision. They also said they trust the UIB will make a decision that upholds the integrity of the Student Senate elections process.

Jayhawks avoid the sweep against TCU
SHANE JACKSON

Coming off their disappointing series sweep against Iowa in their midweek two-game set, the Jayhawks were set to play the hottest team in the Big 12. Kansas (22-15) welcomed the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University (22-13) in a three-game series at Hoglund Ballpark this past weekend. The Horned Frogs came into the conference matchup riding a five-game winning streak, having not lost in the month of April.
The Jayhawks dropped the first two games 5-2 and 3-1 in tightly contested pitching duels. They salvaged the series by avoiding the sweep and winning game three. With the
In game one on Friday night the Jayhawks saw the best pitcher in the country, left-handed pitcher Brandon Finnegan, a first-round draft prospect who allowed a mere 35 base hits coming into game one. Kansas scored two runs off nine hits, eight of which came off Finnegan in the 5-2 loss.
"I thought we played well all three games," said coach Ritch Price. "Luckily we played well enough in the final game to salvage the series; they came in red hot, playing their best baseball."
5-1 victory in the nightcap of the doubleheader on Saturday, the Jayhawks moved to 6-6 in conference play to keep their season alive.
Senior pitcher Jordan Piché
has settled into his new role as the Friday night starter. After getting beat up in his first start against Kansas State, he tossed the most innings of his Jayhawk career with six, allowing four runs off 10 hits.
"It's coming back to me," Piché said. "It's a different mindset; I don't like giving up hits and as a starter you are going to give up hits."
Game two was another battle of the arms as the Horned Progs tossed out their crafty right-handed pitcher Preston Morrison. Kansas struggled to get contact off his off-speed stuff as they managed only four hits, and their lone run coming from a solo shot over the left field wall by junior outfield Connor McKay in the seventh.
"Morrison is real good with his sinker and slider," McKay said. "He kept us off balance with his fastball. Hats off to him for pitching a phenomenal game."
Junior right-handed pitcher Robert Kahana pitched a complete game in a losing effort for Kansas. He allowed three runs off nine hits for his second complete game of the season, to avoid using the bullpen in the first of a doubleheader on Saturday.
After scoring a combined three runs in the first two games, the Jayhawks got their offense going in game three. Junior outfielder Dakota Smith, who didn't start in game one of the doubleheader, had three runs batted in, including a sliding triple in
Vol.
the sixth to score two.
McKay added home runs eight and nine on the year, with two more solo shots over the left field wall. He now leads the conference in runs batted in with 38.
Kansas' senior right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan tossed a beauty in game three, as he went 8.1 innings deep, allowing one run off five hits, striking out seven in his fourth win on the year.
Kansas will look to keep its season alive with a crucial midweek home series against non-conference opponent Grand Canyon. Game one of the two-game series will be Tuesday, April 16, at 6 p.m.

Tips for appropriately dealing with bad landlords
MADI SHULTZ
entertain@kansan.com
Some landlords act like their mission is to make the lives of tenants harder. It may seem like the tenants only option is to give up and accept their landlord is awful for what they are, but there are more options to make these unpleasant situations easier.
Sometimes landlords can take advantage of college students' lack of knowledge when renting a house or apartment. Although it is an unfortunate situation, college tenants can take precaution when moving into a new place.
Landlords have been known to withhold security deposits or seek legal action for more money if they believe their place has been damaged. Other landlords work as part of a larger company, so they are not always available when you need them. And other landlords do not properly maintain their properties, so students end up dealing with leaky pipes or broken fixtures.
Vol
Calling a professional to inspect your possible new home can save time and money, and proves
you are not a just a naive student.
Kailee Karr, a junior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa suggests getting to know your landlord before moving in.
"I think you should meet her or him and ask as many questions as you can. Think about, especially 'what if' situational questions," Karr said. "You should feel close to your landlord and that they have your best interest in mind."
Asking more questions before moving in will help you learn if this is a place where you want to live. In addition to talking to your landlord, you should get the terms of the lease in writing. This way nothing can be misunderstood or not communicated properly.
Caitlin Szelk, a sophomore from Hampshire, lll., wishes she kept this in mind when she moved into her new place last year. Szelk had only seen a model apartment before moving in. When she arrived to move in, she did not see what she expected.
"When me and my family got there, it was super dusty, there was mold everywhere, no fire alarms, no CO2 detectors. I had a mushroom
growing out of my window, and there were stains everywhere. It was horrible," Szelk said.
After Szlenk's landlord did not respond to her requests, she and her roommate, "got a city fire marshal to come and check out the apartment to put on record that the apartment was not in a condition to house residents."
Instead of living in a place that is not safe, Szlenk did what some college students are afraid to do: She contacted a higher authority after not receiving help from her landlord. Although this can be intimidating, sometimes it is the necessary step for proper action to be taken.
From personal experience, Karr suggests that you live in a place that is maintained by somebody in the area. Like Szlenk, Karr lived in an apartment where the landlord was always unavailable to help.
"I had never met him face-to-face, so there was a lot of distance between us there, too. He wasn't personally connected to our issues with the house, he so got to choose when he wanted to tend to our issues," Karr said.
Karr said she tries to look at this as a learning
experience, but hopes it never happens again. In the future, she plans on paying more attention to, the property and location, as well as the person running the place.
"Warning signs are people who seem disinterested, unprofessional, or focus every meeting on money issues," Karr said. "Don't settle for a landlord that is unprofessional. The best house can quickly become a nightmare if it's poorly maintained."
When dealing with difficult landlords, there are many ways to handle the situation. Be firm when communicating what you expect from the lease and remember to get it in writing. Taking photos can eliminate an argument about whether any damage was caused by you or a previous tenant. If all else fails, contacting higher authority can resolve any issues.

"I thought we played well all three games," said coach Ritch Price. "Luckily we played well enough in the final game to salvage the series; they came in red hot, playing their best baseball."
In game one on Friday night the Jayhawks saw the best pitcher in the country, left-handed pitcher Brandon Finnegan, a first-round draft prospect who allowed a mere 35 base hits coming into game one. Kansas scored two runs off nine hits, eight of which came off Finnegan in the 5-2 loss.
Senior pitcher Jordan Piché
has settled into his new role as the Friday night starter. After getting beat up in his first start against Kansas State, he tossed the most innings of his Jayhawk career with six, allowing four runs off 10 hits.
"It's coming back to me," Piché said. "It's a different mindset; I don't like giving up hits and as a starter you are going to give up hits."
Game two was another battle of the arms as the Horned Frogs tossed out their crafty right-handed pitcher Preston Morrison. Kansas struggled to get contact off his off-speed stuff as they managed only four hits, and their lone run coming from a solo shot over the left field wall by junior outfielder Connor McKay in the seventh.
5-1 victory in the nightcap of the doubleheader on Saturday, the Jayhawks moved to 6-6 in conference play to keep their season alive.
"Morrison is real good with his sinker and slider," McKay said. "He kept us off balance with his fastball. Hats off to him for pitching a phenomenal game."
Junior right-handed pitcher Robert Kahana pitched a complete game in a losing effort for Kansas. He allowed three runs off nine hits for his second complete game of the season, to avoid using the bullpen in the first of a doubleheader on Saturday.
After scoring a combined three runs in the first two games, the Jayhawks got their offense going in game three. Junior outfielder Dakota Smith, who didn't starf in game one of the doubleheader, had three runs batted in, including a sliding triple in
the sixth to score two.
McKay added home runs eight and nine on the year, with two more solo shots over the left field wall. He now leads the conference in runs batted in with 38.
Kansas' senior right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan tossed a beauty in game three, as he went 8.1 innings deep, allowing one run off five hits, striking out seven in his fourth win on the year.
Kansas will look to keep its season alive with a crucial midweek home series against non-conference opponent Grand Canyon. Game one of the two-game series will be Tuesday, April 16, at 6 p.m.

Overland Park shootings resonate in University community
CNN
Will Corporon, left, and Tony Corporon, right, fight emotions while Mindy Losen, center, talks about her son and father during a news conference at their church in Leawood, Monday, April 14. Dr. William Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson were victims of Sunday's shooting at the Jewish Community Center. The three are sons and daughter of Dr. Corporon and Losen is the mother of the 14-year-old victim.

The deadly shootings at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) and a nearby Jewish retirement home in Overland Park hit close to home for many University students and Lawrence citizens.
Frazier Glenn Cross Jr., 73, of Aurora, Mo., was arrested and charged Sunday evening for the shooting that left three people dead at the JCC and Village Shalom. Although none of the victims were Jewish, authorities are investigating the shootings as a hate crime.
The shooting was especially worrisome for Becca Berger, a senior from Overland Park who went to school at the Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy, which is located inside the JCC, and whose grandmother lives in Village Shalom.
"It didn't just hit close to home, it hit my home," Berger said. "We're a very sheltered community. I never really thought that this would happen to such a small town, a small community"
The shooting, which occurred on the eve of the Jewish holiday, Passover, will be charged as a hate crime, according to Barry Grissom, the U.S. attorney for Kansas.
Cross is a well-known white supremacist and allegedly yelled a Nazi salute after the shootings.
Berger, who is also involved with KU Hillel, said when she came across the location of the shooting on Twitter she did not suspect it was a coincident event.
"When I saw that it said Jewish Community Center, and Village Shalom, it was automatic. There was no question in my mind it was a hate crime," Berger said. "The timing of it was just terrible, because today is Passover and we're celebrating our freedom [from] slavery in Egypt, but how free are we when we're in 2014 and still having prejudiced people attack us?"
The crime also hit close to home for Rabbi Moti Rieber of the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, whose children were at the center at the time of the shooting.
Rieber said the LJCC's Passover celebration on Monday would go on as planned, but they did request a police presence outside the synagogue just in case. Nevertheless, Rieber said the shooting won't affect how they live their everyday lives going forward.
"The Jewish community is certainly not going to be cowed by this kind of thing." Rieber
said. We're going into Passover and it adds a somberness to the holiday and a sobriety to it, but it certainly doesn't change our determination to continue to live as we've always lived as Jews in America."
Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel of the Chabad Center at KU said he is encouraging more students to take part in Passover celebrations as a way to deal with a tragedy that affects so many Jewish students at the University on a personal level.
"In Judaism, we believe the way you fight darkness is with light, so when you face hatred, you have to respond with love," Tiechtel said. "Many of the Jewish students here at KU have been shaken with this story because so many of them grew up with the JCC being a part of their life, but what we're trying to do is change our anger and bitterness into positivity by reaching out to others, by increasing togetherness in our community and increasing unity."
A special service is being planned at the LJCC early next week, and a walk will be held to honor the victims this Friday in Overland Park, starting from the JC to Village Shalom and ending with a prayer service at 7 p.m.

HEALTH Confirmed case of tuberculosis on University campus
Students and faculty were notified Monday of a case of tuberculosis (TB) that has occurred on campus. The student is now making a full recovery.
According to an email notification from the Associate Vice Provost, Frank DeSalvo, on Monday, officials have determined that there were fewer than 50 individuals who may have been expose. Though the transmission of tuberculosis is possible, the email states, "it is still very unlikely anyone else will become ill with TB now or in the future."
The University is also working alongside the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Kansas Deptartment of Health and Environment to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control's website, tuberculosis is spread when a person with the disease in his or her lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. People nearby may become infected when breathing in the tuberculosis bacteria. The disease is not spread by physical contact such as shaking hands or sharing food and drink.
only those who spent time in a confined space with the infected student are at risk of developing tuberculosis and those at risk have already been notified.
The University encourages students and faculty to visit the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department's webpage for more information.

STUDENT SENATE Election results should come by end of week
As of now, election results will either be released as soon as the University Judicial Board meets, or by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, as decided by the Student Senate Court of Appeals last Thursday.
When the University Judicial Board meets, they will address the Election Commission's decision to disqualify Jayhawkers based on a violation involving incomplete financial reports filed by the coalition. The board will decide to either uphold the decision or to overturn it.
In the case that the University Judicial Board does not meet this week, Chief Justice for the Student Senate Court of Appeals Elliot Kamy said it is possible the Court of Appeals will issue another injunction, which means voting results could be released later than Friday.
Last Thursday in a hearing, Jayhawkers' appeal to the disqualification was turned down by the Court of Appeals based on multiple conflicts of interest in multiple coalitions. The appeal was then expedited to the University Judicial Board and the board is slated to make a decision within a week or so.
Until the next student body president and vice president are determined, the current executive staff said in a press release that they will continue to work diligently and await a timely decision. They also said they trust the UJB will make a decision that upholds the integrity of the Student Senate elections process.
However, if the University Judicial Board calls for another hearing, a decision might take several weeks.

KU Parking permit prices set to rise
KU Parking and Transit has to raise its own funds through parking permits, parking tickets, athletic event parking, garage parking and toll parking, as it doesn't receive tuition or state dollars, according to Hultine. Permits currently generate approximately $3.5 million compared to parking tickets, which generate approximately $600,000. Last year's proposed increases were all accepted.

Moran is one of only 35 members of Congress who have received the award.
"If we want to do something great for our kids and grandkids, then we have to commit today to science and medical research, because it will pay huge dividends for generations to come," Moran said in his speech.
At the ceremony, Moran said he supported scientific research because of the affect it can have on saving and improving lives, as well as its importance to the economy and in keeping America globally competitive.
"There is great potential for research and now is not the time to waver on our country's commitment to advancing scientific research," Moran said.

This March 26, 2013, file photo provided by NASA shows the release of the SpaceX Dragon-2 spacecraft from the International Space Station. NASA is pressing ahead on April 14 with the planned launch of a supply ship despite a critical computer outage at the International Space Station, promising the situation is safe.
Rocket leak delays space station launch
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A space station cargo ship will remain Earthbound for a while longer because of a rocket leak.
With just over an hour remaining, the SpaceX company called off Monday's planned launch. Officials said they believe the problem can be fixed by Friday, the next opportunity for flying and the last chance before astronauts do urgent spacewalking repairs.
A helium leak in the first-stage of the unmanned Falcon rocket forced a halt to the countdown, the latest delay spanning the past month.
Over the weekend, NASA almost postponed the launch
attempt because of a computer outage at the International Space Station. But mission managers decided Sunday that everything would be safe for the arrival of the Dragon capsule and its $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ tons of supplies.
The computer, a critical backup, failed outside the space station Friday as flight controllers were trying to activate it for a routine software load. The primary computer has been working fine.
It's the first breakdown ever of one of these so-called space station MDMs, or multiplexer-demmultiplexers, used to route computer commands for a wide variety of systems. Forty-five MDMs are scattered around the orbiting lab. The failed one is located outside and therefore will require spacewalking repairs.
The Dragon capsule holds a gasket-like material for next week's computer replacement. This new material was rushed to the launch site over the weekend and loaded into the Dragon. NASA said astronauts can make the repair without it if necessary.
NASA astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Steven Swanson will perform the spacewalk next Tuesday — regardless of whether the Dragon flies by then. It will take several days to get the replacement computer ready, thus the one-week wait before the job, NASA's Kenny Todd, a station operations manager, said Monday.
SpaceX — Space Exploration Technologies Corp. of California — is one of two American companies hired by NASA to fill the cargo gap left when the space shuttles retired in 2011.
If the SpaceX Dragon isn't flying by Friday, the company may have to get in line behind Orbital, on track for a May delivery run from its Virginia launching site.
The Dragon should have soared in mid-March, but SpaceX needed two extra weeks of launch prepping. Then an Air Force radar-tracking device was damaged in a fluke accident; an electrical short caused the instrument to

overheat.
Earlier in the afternoon, SpaceX signed a 20-year lease with NASA to take over the launch pad used during the Apollo and shuttle programs. Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39-A would be used for SpaceX launches with astronauts bound for the space station in three or four more years, if NASA approves. Russia currently provides the only way to get astronauts to and from the space station.
Unmanned missions also are slated for this pad, possibly next year.

WWII vet gets medal
LAKEWOOD, Colo. — A World War II veteran from Arvada was surrounded by his four sons and several grandchildren and great grandchildren as he was awarded a Prisoner of War medal.
A cousin, Carol Dechant Young, says 91-year-old Frank Dechant only recently began to open up about being captured by the Nazis. His wife, 85-year-old Edythe, says the experience took an emotional toll on her husband, who cried as relatives congratulated him Monday at a medal ceremony in the Lakewood offices of congressman Ed Perlmutter.
Perlmutter's office says Dechant's unit was captured in December 1944 during Belgium's Battle of the Bulge. Liberation came in April 1945 after a two-month, forced march ahead of the Soviet advance into Germany.
Dechant had been awarded seven other medals. The POW Medal was created in 1985.

Army upholds Manning's conviction, 35-year sentence
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An Army general has upheld Private Chelsea Manning's conviction and 35-year prison sentence for giving reams of classified U.S. government information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, the Army said Monday.
The approval by Maj. Gen. Jeffery S. Buchanan, commander of the Military District of Washington, clears the way for an automatic appeal to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
The 26-year-old Crescent,
Manning's appellate lawyers, Nancy Hollander and Vincent Ward, told supporters Sunday in Washington that they expect to argue that the sentence is unreasonable. It is the longest prison term ever given by a U.S. court for leaking government secrets to the media. They said they also expect to argue that Manning's speedy trial rights were violated, that the Espionage Act was misused and that high-ranking commanders improperly influenced her case.
Emma Cape, campaign organizer for the Chelsea Manning Support Network, said Buchanan "has ignored the many grave injustices in this case."
Okla., native is serving her sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She was sentenced in August for six Espionage Act violations and 14 other offenses for leaking more than 700,000 secret military and State Department documents, plus battlefield video, while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2009 and 2010.
Buchanan, as commander of the jurisdiction in which the trial was held, could have thrown out or reduced the court-martial results.
Manning supporters call her a whistleblower who exposed U.S. war crimes and diplomatic hypocrisy. Manning has said she hoped the leaks would spark debate about the role of the military and U.S. foreign policy in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
During Manning's trial last summer military prosecutors called her an anarchist hacker and traitor who indiscriminately leaked information she had sworn to protect, knowing it would be seen by al-Qaida. It was among the largest leaks of classified information in U.S. history.

Ethnicity and gender don't matter in farming
My alarm goes off. I roll out of bed and pull on the farm clothes I laid out the night before. Quietly, I tiptoe outside and sit on the front steps. Marissa, my black labrador, curls against my side, resting her head on her paws. I wrap the blanket that I brought around us and we watch the sun rise over the country hills.
I am a farm girl. Being a farmer is not a piece of cake. You get beat up a little and end up with bruises all over your body. Sometimes you come home so tired that you fall into bed without dinner. Farming has taught me that life isn't just handed to you. You have to work, sweat and bleed for every little thing you get.
Farming is a challenge itself,but being a farmer.
a minority and woman is a whole different realm. During summer harvest, my ma and I are the ones in charge of getting food during the lunch breaks. I remember one time standing in line to buy drinks. A few migrant workers were in front of me. They looked back at me curiously, their large eyes taking in my dusty jeans and worn boots. I looked back at them from under the bill of my cap and we nodded at each other, sensing an agricultural connection. Maybe they thought I was a migrant worker like them. Or maybe they were surprised to see another person of color in such a small town. I don't know. But they were apparently surprised to see a girl just as dust-caked as they were.

our own. Once free, we were given rough ground that was hardly fit for crops. We had our homes and fields burned down. Whenever the cattle broke out of the fence, it was always tense; it meant that the white farmers and the black farmers had to work together.
But farming showed me how to do things that most people don't know how to do. I can drive a tractor, work the field, drive a four-wheeler, load and shoot a gun, corral cattle and shoot a bow and arrow.
So coming to Lawrence was a bit of a culture shock. The ideas of farming are different here and I'm never mistaken for a farmer. Some are even shocked by the existence of black farmers — yes, someone actually asked me that. But one thing
I noticed was that farmers have a bigger influence than most people know. They are the ones who helped put that hamburger on your plate. They sweated for that piece of bread that you're eating.
Skin color doesn't matter. The land doesn't know if a white or non-white farmer plowed the soil. The crops don't know the color of the farmer. The sweat rolling down our backs doesn't know. Also that steak doesn't know the difference. In the end, it just tastes mighty good.

Music complements rather than contradicts religion
If you come from a religious tradition like mine, you've probably at one point or another been told that music is sinful. There was a time in my life when I promoted such an idea, believing that music led to sin and distracted me from God. I even packed up my violin, intending never to play it again for the sake of pleasing God.
Thankfully, a few years later I finally started listening to music again. I simply could not make sense of what I was supposed to believe about music when it had always been such a positive thing in my life.
The first assumption we should make about music is that it's inherently good, not sinful. Actually, I've heard how it can be the exact opposite of sinful or anti-religious. There are many musicians out there that prove my point that music is not only good, but can be quite appropriate for religious expression. And by this, I don't mean to invoke what we normally call religious music such as Gospel or Gregorian chant; religiously-themed music can find voice in the very genres of music that I was once told were inherently sinful.

Matisyahu is a Jewish musician known for blending reggae and hip-hop with spiritual and social messages. His newest album is called "Akeda" referring to the Biblical story about Abraham's binding of Isaac. Biblical
references are intertwined with lyrics about modern life. In "Reservoir" he sings "I'll keep struggling/Like Joseph/ My brothers wanna sell me out/ I had a dream/ Time to leave the doubt." These words put spiritual meaning behind personal experiences of betrayal, then contrasting that with our ability to dream, a prophetic gift to realize our lives anew.
Yusuf Islam, known as Cat Stevens prior to his conversion to Islam, dropped his musical career for 25 years, but in 2006 he picked up his guitar again and released his album "An Other Cup." Similar to Matisyahu, his music is introspective and spiritual, beautified with religious imagery.
His song "The Beloved" celebrates Prophet Muhammad as a mercy to mankind, singing: "He was born to be the beloved/ A will of the Divine... born to be kind... his mercy stretched from East to West/ To every man, woman and child." On the strings of his guitar, Yusuf paints a picture of Islam's message of mercy and love that is much needed in a world that seems to pay more attention to the violence and extremism associated with the faith.
Another notable religious musician is Ani Choying Drolma, a Buddhist monk, known worldwide for her chants and devotional music. In a Huffington Post article she spoke about how important music is to Buddhist practice, reminding me of both Matisyahu and Yusuf's faith-inspired musical careers. However, all three break tradition to address the contemporary world.
For Drolma, recreating tradition through newer styles of music means collaborating with other musicians, showing by example how Buddhism is every bit at home in the world as it is in her monastery. A.R. Rahman, the musician behind the music for "Slumdog Millionaire," included Drolma in one of his newer songs called "Zariya," to which she adds her meditative voice.
For Matisyahu, Yusuf and Drolma, music is inherently good, even to the point of it being holy. What strikes me about these three musicians is how their three religious traditions can be translated into today through contemporary musical styles. They affirm that our own spiritual and religious identities never have to be compromised when we bring music into our lives. And they certainly encouraged me to brush the dust off my violin.

Internet the new 'Wild West' of info
Let's shatter the Facebook business model. The Internet is a hunting ground for personal information and targeted advertising and it's time for the consumer to change.
Last week's scolding by Derek, a Resident Assistant at the University of Connecticut, went viral. Some regular Joe Shnoe jerk trended on Twitter, pushed me to watch the whole championship game and certainly got his dorm room egged — if not anything worse.
The lesson that I took from Derek is that it's definitely time to start cutting back how much information I let go online. From sending emails to liking Facebook pages, the more of myself that gets out there the more I put myself at risk. Not that I'd ever pull a Derek, but I sympathize with him — if only a little.
I used to believe vehemently that the responsibility to hold and protect information lay in the hands of the companies that gathered it. I dumped that naive idea into the garbage pretty quickly. The Internet is the modern Wild West, and the regular consumer is at the mercy of pretty much anyone with a dial-up connection.
Services like Facebook, Twitter and Gmail have become central to our everyday lives. These websites have evolved from fads to a cultural foundation. And since the companies that run those services care more about the stockholder than the potential for identity theft, it's time for us as customers to adapt.
Lawmakers considering regulation of these services find themselves caught

between two equally passionate camps. Lobbyists don't want to risk the information harvest business model and the most diehard Internet users want to preserve anonymity and free Internet usage for as long as possible.
Until the majority of Congress is made up of people who have a clearer understanding of the Internet, aka younger crowds, I won't count on them.
In the end, I've relegated Facebook to a simplified email account for organizing school clubs and messaging friends with only the most innocuous content. I've already sold my soul to the advertising devil with more than six years on the site, but some damage control is better than none.
I'm not advocating everyone evacuate the web. I'm recognizing that every byte of content I create and consume is being used to profit off of me. Companies are the ones swooping and selling my information and the government couldn't care less, so now the only realistic option is to back out.
I'll stick to my guns unless that Nigerian prince emails me again; he sounded desperate.

ALBUM REVIEW
FREDDIE OIBBS & MADLIB
MADLIB INVAZION
'Piñata'a modern classic from the past
“Piñata” is the long-awaited collaboration between Gary, Ind., rapper Freddie Gibbs and Los Angeles producer Madlib. Released on March 18, it was originally set for release in early 2012. The record combines Gibbs' hardcore gangsta rap with Madlib's rock- and soul-infused beats. Gibbs' lyrics have always focused on visceral, biographic authenticity and independence from the trappings of the music industry. “Piñata” explores Gibbs and Madlib's self-awareness as musicians, especially their contradictions.
In an interview with HipHopDX before the release, Gibbs said: “I don't regret shit, but I'll show you the things I'm not proud of”
As Gibbs reflects on his life in "Piñata," he oscillates between two perspectives; one, the hardened drug dealer and stick-up man, the other the successful musician. His lyrics confront the American reality of doing wrong in order to survive. Over samples of music from the '70s and '80s, Gibbs contemplates his past and confronts his failures. He identifies how his bleak situation in Gary shaped him and how he has overcome it by establishing a fanbase and his own record label.
One highlight is the song "Thuggin," which was first released as an EP in 2011. Here, Gibbs is straightforward about his life as a drug dealer while criticizing his own behavior. He warns that
By Austin Fisher entertain@kansan.com
children should be taught to avoid drugs because he's willing to sell them to anyone in order to survive, even to his own family. Gibbs raises the question of whether the individual is a product of their environment, and if busting users and low level drug dealers is the best use of government resources.
Despite the political themes in his lyrics, the most inflammatory song of the record is "Real," a dis track aimed at Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy, Gibbs' former boss at CTE World. Gibbs was signed to Young Jeeezy's label in 2011 but left the following year because of a contract dispute, adding that Young jeeezy looked weak when he backed down from confrontations with Rick Ross and Gucci Mane. Calling Young jeeezy a "puppet", Gibbs attacks major record labels, comparing them to 19th-century minstrel shows.
Gibbs has shown the ability to rap over many styles of beats throughout his career. Madlib's J Dilla-inspired production, with its non-quantized beats and samples, feels as human and real as Gibbs' stories. In an interview with Rappcats, he says Gibbs is one of the few rappers who can handle a full-length album with this production style. The pacing of the album is punctuated with
Marks Jewelers
skits created with samples from blaxploitation films and bitesized beats. These breaks from the lyrical action fill out the record with a variety of soulful, vintage sounds.
Although Freddie has always repped for Gary, a large part of his music career has been spent in Los Angeles, including the entire recording process for "Pinita." In "Lakers," he is joined by LA natives Ab-Soul and Polyester the Saint in celebration of the West Coast culture that has shaped their lives. The LA-based producer selects a fitting sample of Gary singer Deniece Williams, her 1982 track, "Waiting." Gibbs has drawn comparisons to Tupac Shakur, and Madlib appropriately includes a short vocal sample of Shakur at the end of the track.
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE SINCE 1880
"They was just kids playing in the dope," Gibbs said.
Last year, when the album was still called "Cocaine Piñata," Gibbs shared the inspiration for the title in an interview with HipHopDX. In a dream of his, he had a child who wanted a piñata for her birthday party. When the children started beating up the piñata, no candy fell out, only cocaine.
This juxtaposition of innocence and corruption illustrates why Gibbs stays true to himself as an adamant figure in the gangsta rap genre.

'Oculus' mirrors compelling story with suspenseful chills
Look into the mirror. What do you see? A dynamically told, damn good horror movie.
"Oculus" takes the horror cliche of the frightening image in the mirror and develop it into a whole premise of thrills built around the characters not being able to trust their own eyes while a powerful evil terrorizes them. It creatively constructs believable rules of engagement with the supernatural force, and narratively unfolds a backstory that perfectly complements and uniquely combines with the main tale, always driven forward by the two main characters.
After spending 10 years in psychiatric care for apparently murdering his parents as a child, Tim Russell (Brenton Thwaites) re-enters society at the care of his compellingly determined sister Kaylie (Karen Gillan). She wastes no time in digging up old ghosts,
convincing Tim to help her destroy the demonically powered antique mirror that really caused their parents' deaths.
Early on he doesn't believe her, making for an interesting psychological standoff as she cites the mirror's history of causing its owners to kill their families, while he remembers their own family tragedy differently and tries to logically explain her conclusions. This crafts both a mythology for the mysterious mirror and an investment in the relationship of these troubled siblings.
Their conflict introduces themes of self-delusion and broken family before the mirror comes out to play. Then we get to watch those ideas come to life in the creepy hallucinations it causes and flashbacks of how it infected their mother (Katee Sackhoff) and fantastically intimidating and dead-eyed father (Rory Cochrane).
By Alex Lamb
entertain@kansan.com
Their childhood backstory
plays out like a pretty typical father-goes-crazy-from-haunted-home/item plot. It starts with more standard flashbacks at first, which then start to meld with the current quest to kill the mirror. They relive the horrors of that experience and have to fight those demons all over again, while trying to simultaneously survive the increasing threats the mirror throws at them, moving between their childhood and adult selves.
Director/co-writer Mike Flanagan really impresses with such strong storytelling in this genre piece, and highly satisfies in bringing the narrative full circle. Suspenseful style
and creepy chills dominate over gory effects and cheap jump scares, keeping the atmosphere consistently effective and engrossing, also thanks to constant danger and a lack of dumb behavior. A "Chekhov's pendulum blade" serves as a particularly unnerving device, meant as a fail safe to kill the mirror but also frequently putting Tim and Kaylie in death's way too.
It feels pretty rare nowadays that we get mainstream horror movies with stories and concepts this cool, this well-executed and this genuinely exciting throughout. So, take a look into the oculus and see some real horror staring back.

MOVIE REVIEW
'Fading Gigolo' mimics title, more fading than funny
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's a sentimental farce that presents Turturro as a Brooklyn Jack-of-all-trades whose pal (Allen) decides that another trade this Jack, named Fioravante, would be good at is pleasing women.
"Fading Gigolo" is John Turturro's idea of an old-school Woody Allen comedy, so he wrote Allen into it.
Allen is Murray, one of Fioravante's several bosses, as the younger man has to juggle several service sector jobs to make ends meet in what we call "the
gig economy."
Murray runs a rare book shop, and he's about to give up the ghost.
"Only rare people buy rare books."
But those rare people figure the grandfatherly Murray can help them find something a little special — like a third for a planned menage a trois.
Mild-mannered Murray has to talk milder-mannered Fioravante into it. It helps that Sharon Stone was the woman doing the soliciting.
"Is he clean?" the society trophy wife wants to know. "I'm a
And we're off, with Sofia Vergara as the "trois" in that menage. Fioravante tackles this new gig with sensitivity and compassion. That's why Murray figures there's no harm in offering him to this lonely Orthodox rabbi's widow he's just met.
ittle crazed. I just came from an AIDS benefit."
Avigal (Vanessa Paradis) is lonely, depressed and, Murray figures, in desperate need of a man's touch. But how do you "help" an Orthodox woman?
"I don't shake hands," she says. Her culture doesn't allow
her to touch a man. Her elders watch over her like a hawk. Her Bensonhurst community even has its own NYPD-sanctioned neighborhood watch, and one of those over-zealous watchers (Liev Schreiber) watches Avigel with love, and a lot of suspicion. Even passing off Fioravante as a masseuse with hands "that bring magic to the lonely" is going to be tricky.
ty years ago, he'd have made Murray's "new pimp throws around the cash" scenes very "Broadway Danny Rose" and funnier.
The ancient Allen gamely makes Murray a doting, baseball-playing father in an interracial marriage full of kids he has to keep entertained. Thir-
Bob Balaban is amusing as Murray's trusted but irritable lawyer, Vergara and Stone set off comic sparks. But Turturo winds up playing the sad straight man in his own comedy. And he and Paradis play this too somber. Sex scenes are more explicit than silly. The movie gropes around for a lighter touch.
Moments like when the Orthodox religious police nab
Murray for an inquisition are meant to play like farce, but the often-scary Schreiber lends that an alarming theocratic, fascist feel. Seriously, New York allows "religious police" to enforce dogma?
But by then "Fading Gigolo" has mimicked its title and faded, a failure in tone, a romantic comic juggling act where every dropped ball kills another potential laugh in a movie that desperately needs them.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"The Royals have scored the fewest runs in the majors, which isn't exactly surprising considering they've hit one home run. But they've struck out the fewest times!"
David Schoenfield Sweet Spot
FACT OF THE DAY
Only four teams have a worse winning percentage than Kansas City. Miami, Cincinnati, Arizona and Chicago.
— MLB
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What was the Royals record 11 games into last season?
A: 6-5

ESPN
THE MORNING BREW
Royals need to justify increased prices, expectations
Into the heart of April, baseball has officially begun. With that, expectations for the Kansas City Royals have vastly increased for the year of 2014. No longer the bottom feeders of Major League Baseball, the Royals are expected to compete this year and realistically have a shot at the postseason for the first time since 1985.
Because of these increased expectations, more fans are willing to spend that hard earned penny to go to Kauffman Stadium and see this team in person. Kansas City's front office expected this, and there has been a slight increase in attending a game. No longer can you and a buddy split parking, and pay $5 a piece.
By Shane Jackson sports@kansan.com
Parking jumped a dollar more to $11 a car, which may not seem like much, but ultimately makes things awkward if you don't have that George Washington and you have to turn around at the gate to go get another dollar.
It's not just the parking that saw a slight spike in the green. College students used to be able to go to the gate every Wednesday home game and purchase an outfield seat for $7 a game. Now each student will have to bring $8 to get beat up by the sun for a few innings before enjoying an evening of Royals baseball.
The list goes on and on, for all the slight increases the front office tried to sneak by its fans. But here the Royals stand, where they have been so often
in the past, at the bottom of the American League at 4-7. A team that experts were predicting as their sneaky pick to win the division, can't even squeak out one win against the hapless Minnesota Twins. Which leads us now.
THE BREW
my main point, where is our money going? Year after year thousands of fans, including myself, have sat in that very stadium and watched the Royals be the Royals in hopes that one day it would all be worth it.
That day was supposed to be today and sure it is very early in the season. But when does it stop being early in the season? Why should I or any fan continue to give our own money when the Royals continue to not prove anything to us?
Should we have to pay to watch one of the worst offenses in baseball, a
team who has taken just one ball out of the park? I don't blame fans for not lining up to watch a team who sits last in runs and slugging percentage, and 20th in batting average.
Forgive us Kansas City, if we are not jumping on board when of the "surrender" of this
one of the cornerstones of this team in Mike Moustakas, is hitting a mere .111 and has yet to show any signs of turning the corner.
Even after this disappointing start I, like any other Kansas City fan, will continue to go to the games. To take a quote from one of my all-time favorite movies Jerry Maguire, "show me the money." Show me where our money is going Kansas City, and don't tell us to be patient. I'd say we all have had plenty of patience throughout this 29-year postseason drought.

While Bartnovskaya noticed the increase in the level of athletics, her coach, Tom Hays says she didn't skip a beat.

The bar was set at 4.45 meters, about 14-and-a-half feet a mark never before cleared by a Kansas female athlete. Bartnovskaya cleared it, giving her the indoor title and the indoor school record, which still stands today.
"I think she has goals that she makes and I think she will do whatever it takes to get to them," Hays said. "When you're chasing a goal, like I think she does, you don't really have time to be afraid...and she is fearless in that respect."
Senior pole vaulter Alex Bishop said she remembers Bartnovskaya continuing her performances into the outdoor season after winning the indoor title. Bartnovskaya matched her indoor title-winning mark at the mid-season Ward Haylett Invitational, earning the school's outdoor record. But, it was watching Bartnovskaya at last year's outdoor championships in Eugene, Org., that Bishop remembers the most.
"She came into the meet so focused and so ready to do what she needed to do, and she was making every single bar on the first attempt," Bishop said. "She was dominating the whole meet until she missed her final bar and a girl just barely squeaked over it to beat her. But it was still an amazing performance...and it was unbelievable how mature she was about not winning."
Sunday
Bartnovskaya's runner-up finish contributed greatly to the Kansas women's team point total that would ultimately give them their first NCAA Outdoor title in school history.
Bartnovskaya also claimed NCAA First Team All-American honors for indoor and outdoor and claimed runner-up finishes at the indoor and outdoor Big 12 conference meets.
All of this made Bartnovskaya's 2013 season one of the greatest in Kansas track and field history.

"I didn't expect it because I wasn't ranked number one or anything, but I figured out I could win and I just said 'OK, let's do it.' Bartnovskaya said.
Entering into the 2014 season, Bartnovskaya tried to continue the success of her 2013 campaign. Unfortunately, she suffered a back injury in January that would make the rest of the season difficult.
"With other sports like basketball or baseball, you can play pretty well at 90 percent, but with track and field, you're going to get beat," Hays said. "But the fact that she went out there and fought and did as well as she did really shows her character."
Despite the injury, Bart-
novskaya was still able to tally another runner-up finish at the Big 12 Championships and qualify for nationals, her final meet, where she tied for tenth.

"This season wasn't as successful as I expected, but you don't always get what you want," Bartnovskaya said. "I'm still setting new goals and now I just want to [beat my personal record]."
Hays said no matter what Bartnovskaya did in her final meet, she was going to be remembered for her great career here.
"In the history of the school, we've only had a handful of (pole vaulting) champions, and we've been doing this for a lot of years, so she's among that elite group." Hays said. "She'll be in the Hall of Fame and be remembered as one of KU's special people."
Bartnovskaya isn't exactly sure what her future holds. She is continuing to jump with the team, although she cannot compete as a Jayhawk — she's exhausted her athletic eligibility. When she graduates next May, she will have to figure out what she wants to do. But, there is one thing that's certain. With the unknown of her future ahead of her, Bartnovskaya will not shy away and once she figures out what is best for her, she will confront the new challenge without fear or hesitation.
"Maybe I am just an adventurist and I like to learn," Barnovskaya said. "How can you be scared of something if you don't know it? I just think if you face the unknown situation, you can find out if it is good for you."

COMMENTARY
TRACK & FIELD
Pressure on Weis in third year
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
Back in the day, coaches often implemented five-or ten-year plans for building a program back up from the ashes.
After all, fans were more patient. Media coverage was confined to a segment on the news. If frustrated fans wanted to contact the Athletics Department, they would have to call. Twitter didn't exist to provide a 24-hour outlet of critiques and communication.
Twenty years ago, Kansas coach Charlie Weis would have more than three years to prove his coaching ability. Unfortunately, this year is Weis's last stand.
Edited by Nick Chadbourne
Rome wasn't built in a day.
But in the college football world, Rome needs to be built in three years or less. It isn't necessarily fair, but it is reality.
Fans were looking for improvement between Kansas' first and second years. The Athletics Department's goals reflected the attitudes of the fans. In response, Kansas improved. The wins increased, the running game was one of the best in the Big 12 and the special teams did their part in the battle for field position.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
However, the improvement wasn't as drastic as Kansas hoped it would be when it agreed to shell out $2.5 million per year over the course of five years. Kansas wanted Bill Snyder levels of improvement. Bill Snyder went 1-10 in his first year as coach after taking over a program that hadn't won a regular season game in two years. The next year, Snyder went 5-6.
Luckily for Weis, he has the tools to win five games or more. Sophomore Montell Cozart had a strong spring game, showing better awareness and vision in the running game. Senior transfer Nick Harwell, who unsuccessfully lobbied for eligibility last year, will bolster the receiving corps. Weis was touted as an offensive guru and his ability to stick with the Kansas program will rely heavily on his offenses living up to his reputation.
Kansas wasn't going to fire Weis after two seasons, especially after firing Turner Gill after two seasons. However, it shortened the leash on Weis this year. Kansas improved by a win last season. Such gradual improvement probably won't be tolerated this year. Another one win improvement, unless there is a multitude of close losses, could easily result in Weis's walking papers.
Weis was never able to get his offense in sync. Receivers seemed like they lined up in a different time zone than the rest of the offense. When the receivers did get open, Weis's quarterback was unable to deliver them the ball. This did a disservice to an improved defense.
What Kansas didn't want to see was a loss to Rice. It didn't want to see four conference losses by 30+ points. It didn't want to see the immense struggles of quarterback Jake Heaps.
Transfer athlete sets the bar high
Junior pole vaulter Natalie Bartnovskaya prepares for one of her final vaults of Saturday's competition. Bartnovskaya finished in fourth in the Kansas Relays pole vault invitational, clearing 4.25m (13'11.25"). She has exhausted her four years of athletic eligibility where she set two school records and contributed to the team's NCAA Outdoor Championship last year.
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
Natalie Bartnovskaya was usually pretty calm before meets. But right now, her heart was racing. She along with hundreds of other athletes, coaches and fans were packed inside Anschutz Pavilion, the heat from the packed house sealed in from the cold December air outside. It was her first Division I meet, and the unfamiliarity combined with pressure to start off on a good note was too much to ignore.
and her calm confidence returning, she skipped down the runway, planted the pole, contorted her body over and around the perched bar, and Bartnovskaya's career at Kansas was underway.
After warming up for what seemed like an eternity, the time finally came, and she tried to breathe deeply as she joined the other pole vaulters on the field. But, just before she stepped out to the runway, she remembered something: she had been here before; this wasn't her first unfamiliar situation. With pole in hand
Bartnovskaya is no stranger to taking on the unknown. Born in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, she has lived in five different cities across Russia and the U.S. since she was 13, spending most of that time away from her family. She came to the U.S. with little English vocabulary and knew virtually nobody in the country. She competed in three different collegiate leagues at three separate levels, eventually finding her way to Kansas. Here, in one-and-a-half seasons, she's amassed a career that rivals the school's all-time track and field greats.
"If I set goals, I just go for it despite the difficulties that can be faced on the way,"
Bartnovskaya said. "There is nothing easy in this life, so quitting is not an option."
Bartnovskaya was 17 when she first picked up a pole. She had just returned home after spending three years away from her family at a school that specialized in training teens in Olympic sports.
"If I set goals, I just go for it despite the difficulties that can be faced on the way."
NATALIE BARTNOVSKAYA
Pole vaulter
While Bartnovskaya was good at other track and field events, her hometown coach suggested pole vaulting might work best for her. After seeing good results and taking a liking to
the event, Bartnovskaya began to agree with her coach.
Bartnovskaya was one of the only pole vaulters in her town at the time, so coaching, equipment and facilities specialized for pole vaulters was not readily available. At 18, realizing she could not grow to reach her goals as a vaulter in this environment, Bartnovskaya decided to move away again to southern Russia to join a college track and field team.
For the next three years, Bartnovskaya went to school and focused on vaulting. But the rapid early progress she showed over her first year pole vaulting would slow down and by the time her career there was ending, she knew she still had not reached her potential. Focused on improving, she applied for a program that set her up with many U.S. schools, and ultimately landed her at Vincennes University, a junior college in Indiana. She again set out into an unknown situation, only this time the unknown was in a foreign country.
"It wasn't really scary for me," Bartnovskaya said. "I guess because I already had traveled and done that kind of thing a lot back at home, I was kind of used to it."
Hera fearlessness translated to her meets as she and her coaches saw early that she had the potential to dominate the NJCAA circuit, which she did for the two years she was there. By the time she left Vincennes, she held the NJCAA all-time pole vault record and two NJCAA individual pole vault championships.
Bartovskaya's original plan was to return to Russia after finishing at Vincennes. But, after dominating the NJCAA, many Division I programs

Junior infielder Justin Protacio swings for the ball in an April 1 game against Wichita State. The Jayhawks defeated the Shockers 4-2 at home. They look to do the same against TCU tonight at 6 p.m.
Kansas (22-15, 6-6) is coming off of a series loss to the TCU Horned Frogs this past weekend. The Jayhawks lost the first two games of the series but were able to avoid a sweep, salvaging the nightcap of Saturday's double-header.
The Jayhawks will host Grand Canyon University (18-15, 8-4) in a two-game mid-week series at Hoglund Park tonight and Wednesday. GCU won its weekend series against Sacramento State over the weekend at home.
Junior right-fielder Connor McKay's bat has heated up for Kansas recently. He hit three homers and drove in three RBIs over the weekend. He extended his Big 12 lead in both categories to nine homers and 38 RBIs. McKay also leads the conference in slugging percentage at .611.
McKay is batting .328 on the season and has been a catalyst for the Jayhawks hitting in the cleanup spot. Hitting before McKay is junior left-fielder Michael Suiter, who is only two percentage points away from being in the top 10 in batting average amongst the Big 12 leaders; he is third in the conference with 48 hits. Suiter will look to extend his 10-game hit streak against Grand Canyon.
Senior pitcher Frank Duncan continued his dominance on the mound this season in the finale of the TCU series. Duncan went 8.1 innings, striking out seven and allowing only one earned run in his fourth win of the season.
Duncan is third in the Big 12 with a 1.53 ERA, first with 70.2 innings pitched, and second in strikeouts with 54.
Junior pitcher Drew Morovick will start the first game of the mid week series for Kansas this week. Morovick is 6-2 on the season with a 4.91 ERA. Morovick is coming off of his worst start of the season against Iowa where he only went 2.2 innings, allowing eight earned runs on ten hits.
The Jayhawks will face freshman left-handed pitcher Bebastian Valenzuela in the series opener. Valenzuela has a 3.38 ERA on the season, making one start in his nine
Walker has 14 stolen bases on the season and is sporting a .456 on-base percentage as well. Walker's teammate, junior catcher Humberto Aranda, is third in their conference with a .363 batting average. Aranda has two homers and 19 RBIs on the campaign.
The 6-foot-5-inch righty had been on a roll as he hadn't allowed more than two runs in his four starts prior to the Iowa game. Morovick will have the task of facing junior outfielder David Walker, who is fourth in the WAC with a .360 batting average.
appearances thus far.
The Jayhawks will walk away with a win in the first game of their mid-week series if freshman right-hander Stephen Villines pitches. Kansas is 9-6 in games that Villines has pitched in and 3-1 in games since he was moved to the closer role, recording three saves. Villines has a .36 ERA on the season and is tied for sixth in the Big 12 with four saves. Villines has only walked four batters this season, struck out 17 batters and given up only 15 hits. Villines was moved to the closer role during the Oklahoma series.
KANSAS WILL WIN IF..
due to the struggles from senior pitcher Jordan Piche. If Villones comes in to pitch Tuesday, it will most likely be a save situation and the freshman is four-for-four in save opportunities thus far.
KANSAS WILL LOSE IF...
The Jayhawks will fall to the Antelopes in the first game of the series if Morovick gives up less than five runs. The Jayhawks are 7-4 in Morovick's 11 appearances this season. In three out of those four losses, he has given up five or more runs. Morovick gave up eight runs in the seven wins and 18 runs combined in the Jayhawk's four losses.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Senior center-fielder Tucker Tharp has been hot lately, seeing his batting average increase by 31 points since the beginning of the Kansas State series from .270 to .301. Tharp ranks second on the team with four homeruns, which is also good enough for eighth in the Big 12. Tharp has driven in 18 runs for Kansas this season and has played in 37 games. Tharp helped fill the void when McKay was out nursing a hamstring injury, but is solid protection in the lineup for his fellow outfieldler when they are both healthy.

rock Chalk Park will host the Kansas Relays, which runs Wednesday through Saturday, for the first time, despite the unfinished complex.
One week ago, city commissioners granted permission for the Kansas Relays to be held at Rock Chalk Park, instead of its regular location at Memorial Stadium.
"We had to do a walkthrough and make sure structures are sound and just that it is safe for the public to be there," said Jeremy Farmer, vice mayor of Lawrence.
Walk-throughs are routine, and every new building in Lawrence is required to have one, Farmer said. It was obvious the track part of the complex was safe and ready to use.
The track and the 7,000 bleacher seats are ready to go,
along with locker rooms for the athletes. However, the rest of the park, including softball and soccer facilities and a public recreation center, is still very much under construction. KU Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony said visitors will notice the construction, but it won't affect the competition.
"We are calling this a soft opening," Marchiony said. "There is still work to be done, but what people will be able to see and sense is how beautiful of a place it is when it is all done."
The facility isn't the only thing different about the relays this year — the track is different as well. The material put into the track is of better quality, there is a ninth lane added and each lane is six inches wider.

Marchiony said. "We build on that tradition and make it a top notch collegiate meet. It is worth it just to see what a venue like that can be."

TECHNOLOGY Heartbleed reported to not be a threat to University
The University's Information Technology department said students' accounts are safe from the massive software bug called Heartbleed that recently came to light last week.
Security experts made the public aware of the bug last Monday, revealing it as an error in a piece of free software called OpenSSL, which is used by two-thirds of all websites. Heartbleed has been making headlines recently for its potential to put usernames and passwords for many websites at risk. And the possibility for serious consumer data theft is troubling. Experts have also expressed fear that the flaw could allow hackers to copy website security certificates, which would allow them to lure users to fake websites to steal personal information.
According to the post on the University's IT website, students do not need to be concerned with the safety of their University online accounts. The post says the "vast majority of servers at KU are not vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug," and they are not requiring students to change their passwords.
After the issue came to light, the IT staff began making the appropriate fixes to a "small number of vulnerable systems," and are monitoring the systems for potential problems.

KU Law partners with Indian law schools
INTERNATIONAL
In addition to job opportunities, this partnership will also encourage the flow of ideas between universities, allowing collaboration on research projects, scholarship opportunities for students, and international exchanges
KATE MILLER news@kansan.com
The University's Law School recently revealed its new partnerships with four of India's top law schools, which will encourage collaboration between students and faculty of the universities. In addition, the program aims to increase the University of Kansas's visibility in India, enhancing job opportunities for law students from all universities involved.
Bhala solidified the partnership, which were his idea, during his March-February
"There's a great demand for lawyers in many other countries," said Raj Bhala, associate dean for international and comparative law and Rice Distinguished Professor at the University. "Many transactions are across borders, especially when you look at the potential with India. We want our students to have opportunities not only in Western regions, but also in these important emerging markets."

"India is a flourishing market and so the opportunities there are so much greater than even the opportunities here ... Our education and our experience are assets for them over there."
"The Dean [Stephen Mazza] was wonderfully supportive of me trying this out on behalf of the Law School," Bhala said. "At every university, I have friends there. I have family in India, and many family members have connections at the law schools or legal employers there."
"If you think in terms of imports and exports of students, faculty and ideas, it enhances our cross-border trade in all three respects," Bhala said. "It increases our bringing in students and faculty from India. It increases our going to India, and it increases the flow of ideas. In order for a law school to enhance its international visibility, it needs to think about how it can import

"We're both very interested in international trade," Heeren said. "India is a flourishing market and so the opportunities there are so much greater than even the opportunities here because we have a different set of legal knowledge than they have there. Our education and our experience are assets for them over there."
University law students have been involved with India prior to this partnership as well. Second-year law students Madeline Heeren from Lenexa and Aqmar Rahman from Lawrence will be interning at J. Sagar Associates, a commercial litigation law firm in India, this summer.

"I think in the future students will have a variety of options to go study in India, to learn about the legal system, to be able to interact with Indian attorneys and professors and gain a wealth of information and knowledge." Rahman said. "I think it's a door that's been opened and will greatly help students for years and years to come."
He said the new partnerships with the law schools in India will offer many similar opportunities to students at the University.
Bhala explained that due to India's growing legal market, the partnerships were natural for the University to take. To reach out to India and create partnerships among the universities led Bhala and the University to take a step "outside of our comfort zone."
Kansas partnering with these institutions in India is a huge step in the right direction," Rahman said.

Alumna uses pageant title to raise disability awareness

In 2008, Brigid Schwilling lost in that year's Ms. Wheelchair Kansas competition. She said her faith prompted her to compete again last month, and on March 16, she had her crown.
"For six years the coordinator kept sending me an application to run again and I didn't run and I didn't run and I didn't run, and I really felt like God was just telling me, 'You need to run again,' Schwilling said.

University honors female students

On Thursday, April 10, nine outstanding female students were recognized by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity at the Women's Recognition Banquet.
Each year, the center honors women at the University for their achievements on campus and throughout the community. Apart from students, the event also recognizes women faculty, staff and alumnae who have made a difference in the campus community through things such as service, teaching or involvement.
Among the nine students were Leigh Loving, a junior from McPherson, Jill Langlas, a senior from Wheaton, Ill., and Hannah Sitz, a senior from Andover.
Each of the students who received an award was nominated anonymously.
Loving received the "Outstanding Woman Student in Leadership." Other than being a tutor in science courses, her participation in
alternative breaks, serving as a research fellow for the Kansas Health Foundation and interning at Children's Mercy Hospital. Loving said she feels she received the award because of her work with Jayhawk Health Initiative, a prehealth program, of which she is founder and president.
"I feel very honored to receive the award, especially with how many outstanding women leaders there are here at the University. I think it takes a unique form of leadership to create something like Jayhawk Health Initiative," Loving said. "It means my hard work has been recognized by others and I know what I've done has made a positive impact at KU."
As the only female leader on the National Champion Jayhawk Motorsports Formula SAE racecar program, it's not surprising that Langlas received the "Sally Mason Women Student in Science Award."
Langlas said that her role as team lead of Jayhawk motor

Casting call to raise money for campus
CASSIDY RITTER
news@kansan.com
KU Endowment is hosting a casting call to promote the University and to help raise private funds for students, faculty and staff. Today, the casting call will be at Mrs. E's from 9 a.m. to noon. This will be the last day to participate.
At the casting call, participants will have their photos taken by a professional photographer. After the photo, they are asked to sign a release form and give a quote about
what the University means to them.
Valerie Gieler, senior editor at KU Endowment, helped plan this event. Gieler said their mission is to work with donors to gain support to build a better University.
"We will use the photos and quotes to promote the University in a positive light," Gieler said. "There's no better way to do that than to show off the faces and voice of people who are here on campus."
KU Endowment hosted a similar casting call two years
ago. Gieler said because the casting call was successful then, they wanted to do another one. This year's photos will be used for the KU Endowment website, printed brochures, advertisements and specific proposals to donors.
"It's always more interesting to talk about KU when you can show off the people here instead of just the programs," Gieler said. "We're always looking for ways to feature students and our faculty and our staff."
The donations received by
KU Endowment go back to the University in a variety of forms. While the donors direct where the money goes, much of it goes towards scholarships, fellowships for graduate students, professorships, research funds or campus construction.
This year's casting call has been running since Monday with about 90 participants on day one. Lisa Wojcehowicz, a senior from Milwaukee, Wis., said many students are excited to know they can be "KU famous" after this event.
"Now I can be a part of helping other students get scholarship," Wojcehowicz said. "Being a student at KU, you are a part of something bigger than yourself."
Participants may take a photo alone or with a group of friends. After the casting call, KU Endowment will create a gallery on their Facebook page where participants may use their own photo for personal use. For more information, visit the KU Endowment Facebook page.

petition because I had that message to give."
Carrie Greenwood, who founded the Ms. Wheelchair Kansas program in 2004, said Schwilling's platform is made her stand out.
"[The competition] does not include outer beauty, but includes how you present yourself," Greenwood said. "Through a series of interviews, contestants share their platforms and their accomplishments."
Schwilling is the 11th contestant Ms. Wheelchair Kansas has crowned in its decade-long history, and she is dedicated to sharing her message.
"What I get to do now as Ms. Wheelchair Kansas is travel around the state encouraging people with disabilities and educating the public about people with disabilities and advocating for people with disabilities in groups," she said. "I'm hoping to talk to the Kansas Legislature."

She also hopes to change attitudes toward people with disabilities.
"We have a purpose. I believe that all people have a purpose, whether they have a disability or not," she said. "Regardless of their skin color or background or abilities, everyone has some ability and I focus on the abilities not the disabilities and that's what I would like to encourage other people to focus on."
Schwilling said she hopes to
In August, Schwilling will get to share her platform at the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant in Long Beach, Calif
"If God wants me to take this message beyond Kansas, he'll make me Ms. Wheelchair America. If he doesn't, someone else will win," she said. "But I'm already praying for that person, because, whoever wins, their life will be forever changed for the good."

"Most American law schools have focused much more on Europe, and when they go into the non-Western world, most of them focus on China," he said. "But KU has had more of a global vision and we've seen the important emerging patterns of the rise of India. We've been paying attention to important markets for our visibility."

sports was definitely a large part of her receiving the award.
"I put a lot of hard work into my studies and extra curriculars, so it's nice that my faculty advisors thought I was doing a good job too. It's reassuring that my work has made a difference," Langlas said. "I am always a little shocked by how few girls there are in my major. It was a good option for me to pursue [mechanical] engineering."
Growing up in a community, church, school and family that has instilled in her the importance of using her talents and resources to benefit others, it is no shock that Sitz received the "Outstanding Woman Student in Community Service" award.
Other than Jayhawk motorsports, Langlas is also involved in the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program, Engineering Student Council and is a student ambassador for the School of Engineering.
Sitz believes that her work with KU Alternative Breaks made her a qualified candidate.
"I am very honored and very excited to be part of such a distinguished group of women," Sitz said. "I've enjoyed combining that drive [to serve others] with my knack for organization and involvement in a variety of avenues- most notably KU Alternative Breaks."
Other than serving as co-director for Alternative Breaks, Sitz is in the University Honors Program, a CORO fellow, (a national internship program), and was the University's 17th Truman Scholar last year. She plans to pursue her master's in public administration this fall at Indiana University.
This year, the center also inducted six new members to the KU Women's Hall of Fame along with honoring a KU graduate with the Pioneer Woman award.

Getting rid of shampoo helps health, environment
HEALTH
Are you lazy? Financially strapped? Environmentally conscious? Constrained by time? We all are, in theory. It's time to join the "no poo" movement.It's very simple, you just gradually stop using shampoo.Instead of shampooing once or even twice daily,you shampoo once a week.For many reasons,shampooing daily is unnecessary and even unhealthy by some standards.
Our scalps produce much more sebum oil when we shampoo than if we did not shampoo. Because we strip our scalps of their natural oils, the scalp is
forced to produce more, creating a vicious cycle. Lorraine Massey, co-owner of DeVachan Salon in New York, said to NBC News. "When you over-shampoo your hair, your hair is over-secreting oil in order to survive."
By Anrenee Reasor
opinion@kansan.com
Some of the chemicals used in household shampoos are not ideal to be repeatedly placing on our skin. You might presume that it's unhealthy to not shampoo. But Dr. Paradi Mirmirani, a dermatologist in Vallejo, Calif., said to NBC News it's a matter of choice, and that "there's nothing gross" or harmful about abandoning shampoo. Our ancestors did
without, and there are many people in the developing world who still do without.
The people who have participated in the "no poo" movement say the gains have been real. The "Today" show even hosted Jacquelyn Byers as a guest because she hasn't used shampoo in five years. Byers believes her hair to be "softer, less greasy, and a prettier color" since [she]
stopped using shampoo.
If you are into celebrity endorsements, in a March interview with Parade Magazine, Shailene Woodley said she only shampoo once a month. "But now [my hair's] really short, I only shampoo it like once a month. The oilier, the better."
Less money spent on shampoo. Less time lathering and rinsing in the shower. Less waste created by the packaging. Less effort altogether! There is, unfortunately, this period during weaning yourself off shampoo where your hair becomes very oily and unsavory. This is just part of the growing pains
that accompanies trying something new. If you'd like to start out gradually, begin with a baking soda mix and then graduate to a water-vinegar combination. It takes time for your scalp to produce less oil. But that's no reason not to try. Join me this month in not shampooing. Half of us won't even shower once finals season rolls around, so let's just start early!

Ryan's budget has negative effects for middle class
Recently, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan released a new budget plan that would decrease $5 trillion in federal spending over the next decade, according to The Washington Post. His proposal plans to take a large chunk out of federal spending by targeting Obamacare, making huge cuts to Medicaid and several other health care programs, raising taxes on middle-class families and making several more cuts from education, food stamps and farm programs.
While some may perceive this as a reasonable plan, I was absolutely horrified when I found out what his budget was proposing. Trying to repeal Obamacare would kick millions off their new plans, diminishing the steps taken for health care reform. Medicaid is already facing a tough battle due to the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing Medicaid to become an optional decision for states, leaving many people in an even more stressful situation.
In Florida, a woman named Charlene Dill recently made headlines because of Florida's decision not to expand Medicaid. Dill suffered a heart condition that required medication, and was able to afford her medication before the Supreme Court ruling. Due to Florida's decision not to expand Medicaid, Dill was unable to get health coverage because she did

not make enough money to qualify for Obamacare. Dill worked several low-income jobs, her most recent job was selling vacuums at Rainbow Vacuums. On March 21, Dill needed to add two extra appointments in order to make enough money to make it through the day for herself and her three children, and ended up collapsing and dying on a stranger's floor during the appointment, according to Orlando Weekly.
Students may not think issues like these matter to them because, well, we're students and doing homework and focusing on graduation is our biggest focus, right? However, these issues are extremely important, especially because we are a generation that is currently living through these issues and we will have to deal with these issues once we graduate, get jobs and have families. You may have friends or family who were affected by optional Medicaid expansion, or you may have friends or family who recently signed up for Obamacare.
Ryan's proposal on taxation targets middle-class families with children by increasing taxes "by an average of at least $2,000;
according to politicususa. com. The reason middle-class families could potentially see this raise in taxes is because Ryan wants to decrease taxes "for households with incomes over $1 million," meaning the rich would receive huge tax breaks while the middle class continues to decline.
If Obamacare were to be repealed, health care coverage costs would increase, affecting families and business, which in turn would be "eliminating coverage for the 3 million young adults who have gained coverage by staying on their parent's plan," according to politicususa. com.
This country already has an excruciatingly huge gap between the lower class and the wealthy. We have marginalized the lower to middle class in several different ways, and every time steps are made to make things more equal, we have people like Paul Ryan trying to take us down a notch, or five trillion notches. I cannot respect a country that has politicians aiming to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. We need to stand against budget proposals like Ryan's because they directly affect us, whether we know it now or not.

Test creates deeper self-understanding
There's a test that might tell you more about yourself than you know already.
It's called the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment. It calculates a four letter type that explains your level of introversion or extraversion, how you process information, make decisions, and live your life. It's kind of like a real version of a horoscope.
There are 16 possible types. Being able to divide the thousands of students at KU into 16 personality types seems ridiculous, yet I can say from personal experience that it's strikingly accurate.
I researched into my type and learned incredible things about myself. It's funny, I've had my brain for 19 years but never really understood it until now.
I never considered questioning why I think or feel the ways I do because living is an inherently native process. It took this test for me to step outside of my brain and see it from an outside perspective.
In doing so, I became confident in my knowledge of who I am and what I want — no small feat. I'm now able to better apply myself. I realize what I should be doing to make myself happier and more successful. Especially in how I interact with other people.
By understanding my personality I've become much more understanding and accessible.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
I also discovered people do not think in the same ways. I knew that before, but prior to the test I never really had significant insight into how other people actually think. I could only judge others under the illumination of my own experiences.
No matter how close these friends and I were, the exposure of their (and my) inner thought processes created a new level of understanding.
That's why this test is so impactful. I've learned a lot about myself from attending college, but the dramatic change I've experienced from the test was unparalleled.
Take the test. There are free versions online, and a wealth of analysis across the internet. You'll only benefit from it.
The test has a great implication for benefiting interpersonal relationships. I also had many of my friends take the test and we all learned so much about each other.

Pulitzer Prizes announced; 'Goldfinch' wins for fiction
AUTHOR OF HISTORY
Author Megan Marshall poses on the steps of her home in Belmont, Mass., Monday. Marshall won a Pulitzer Prize for her book "Margaret Fuller. A New American Life."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Donna Tartt's "The Goldfinch," already among the most popular and celebrated novels of the past year, has won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. One of the country's top colonial historians, Alan Taylor, has won his second Pulitzer, for "The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War In Virginia."
Annie Baker's "The Flick" won the Pulitzer for drama, a play set in a movie theater that was called a "thoughtful drama with well-crafted characters" which created "lives rarely seen on the stage."
The award Monday for general nonfiction went to Dan Fagin's "Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation," a chronicle of industrial destruction in a small New Jersey community that was praised by The New York Times as a "classic of science reporting." Megan Marshall's "Margaret Fuller: A New American Life," about the 19th century intellectual and transcendentalist, won for biography; and Vijay Seshadri's witty and philosophical "3 Sections" received the poetry prize.
The Pulitzer for music was given to John Luther Adams' "Become Ocean," which judges cited as "a haunting orchestral work that suggests a relentless tidal surge, evoking thoughts of melting polar ice and rising sea levels."
Tartt's novel, a sweeping, Dickensian tale about a young orphan set in modern Manhattan, was published last fall to high praise and quick commercial success that has not relented. "The Gold-finch" has been nominated for a National Book Critics Circle prize and an Andrew Carnegie Medal and on Monday was in the top 40 on Amazon.com's best seller list even before the Pulitzer was announced.
Fans of the 50-year-old Mississippi native, many of whom still had strong memories of her 1992 debut, "The Secret History," had waited a decade for her to complete her third novel. "The Goldfinch" was published after the disappointing "The Little Friend." The Pulitzer will likely ensure her place among the elite of contemporary fiction writers and make "The Goldfinch" a million seller.
"I am incredibly happy and incredibly honored and the only thing I am sorry about is that
Willie Morris and Barry Hannah aren't here. They would have loved this," said Tartt, referring to two authors who had been early mentors.
Meanwhile, the 59-year-old Taylor has reaffirmed his stature as a premier scholar of early American history. His "William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic," winner of the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes, was published in 1996 and praised as an enlightening and rigorous study of the founding of Cooperstown, N.Y.
"The Internal Enemy" has been cited as a worthy follow-up to Edmund Morgan's landmark "American Slavery, American Freedom," a story of the conflicting passions among white Virginians who both eloquently defended their own freedoms and suspiciously presided over the slaves who made their livelihoods possible.
Taylor said Monday that the book had been an education for him recalling how he came upon documents that showed how escaped slaves had assisted the British during the War of 1812 and were an important factor in the British capture of Washington, D.C.
work together in a rundown movie theater in Massachusetts that still shows 35-millimeter movies on film. Everyday jealousies, disappointments and anger share the stage with jokes, chit-chat, occasional poignant revelations and a lot of workplace tedium.
"This is a story I had known nothing about and I was supposed to be a specialist," he said. The Columbia University's prize board honored Baker, who is in her early 30s, for her play about friendship, morality and loyalty. "The Flick" played off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons last year becoming divisive among critics. Many admired its attempt to capture real life but others found it tediously long.
The prize for national reporting went to David Phillips of The Gazette of Colorado Springs, Colo., for an investigation that found that the Army has discharged escalating numbers of traumatized combat veterans who commit crimes at home.
In "The Flick," three relatively youthful, low-paid employees
The Pulitzer for international reporting was awarded to Jason Szep and Andrew R.C. Marshall of Reuters for their coverage of the violent persecution of a Muslim minority in Myanmar.
The Oregonian won for editorial writing for its focus on reforms in Oregon's public employee pension fund. The prize was the third in the newspaper's history for editorial writing.
The Tampa Bay Times' Will Hobson and Michael LaForgia in Florida won in local reporting for writing about squalid housing for the homeless.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's architecture critic Inga Saffron won for criticism. At The Charlotte Observer, Kevin Siers received the award for editorial cartooning.
No award was handed out for feature writing.
In the arts categories, the fiction prize went to Donna Tartt for "The Goldfinch" while the general nonfiction prize was won by Dan Fagin, for "Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation."
The biography prize went to Megan Marshall for "Margaret Fuller: A New American Life."
Vijay Seshadri got the poetry prize for "3 Sections."

KANSAS RELAYS
Kansas heptathlete Lindsay Vollmer leads her heat during the Jayhawk Classic in February. This week, Vollmer received her second Big 12 Female Athelete of the Week.
Preview of the Kansas Relays
Events begin today including 5,000-meter and 400-meter races
BEN BURCH sports@kansan.com
The 87th Kansas Relays will commence Wednesday as the first event held at Rock Chalk Park, the new, state-of-theart facility that will now be the home of Kansas track and field.
Nearly 90 Kansas athletes will represent the Jayhawks at the Relays, in addition to athletes from other schools, which will wrap up on Saturday. While each event with Jayhawk competitors will be exciting in their own respects, here are a few events to watch out for that will feature high-profile Kansas athletes.
One of the most anticipated events of the weekend is the heptathlon, featuring junior Lindsay Vollmer, who holds the school record in this event. So far this outdoor season, Vollmer, who won last season's NCAA outdoor heptathlon title, has met the high expectations being put on her. In her first meet of 2014 outdoor campaign, Vollmer won the Texas Relays heptathlon on March 27 with a winning 5,640 point total. This is the fourth highest in Kansas heptathlon history. Vollmer will enter the meet still ranked atop the Big 12 in the heptathlon. While her focus for the weekend will surely be on continuing her success, Vollmer admits she is just happy to be there for this memorable moment in Kansas sports history.
"Our team is blessed to have this facility and I know there
will be some great performances on this track," Vollmer said. "This year will be the start of a great future for the Kansas Relays and I'm just glad I get to be a part of it."
The women's 5,000 meters will also be a good race to watch, as Jayhawk senior Natalie Becker will be riding a hot streak into the event on Friday. Becker rewrote Jayhawk track and field history books two weeks ago at the Stanford Invitational when she ran the 5,000 meters in 16:20.80, making her the fastest in the event in school history. Becker will look to have a similar performance on Thursday when the 5,000-meter race gets underway.
Eyes will also be on the women's 400 meters prelimits this Friday as senior Diamond Dixon will make her 2014 outdoor season 400 meters debut, an event which she not only holds the school record (50.88), but also an event that she has won at the last three Big 12 Conference Championships. Dixon will try to prove in the qualifying race Friday and the finals Saturday that she can make a run at the four-peat for the 400 meters conference title.
On the men's side, the pole vault will be a key field event to look out for, as the jayhawk men already have five pole vaulters clear the 17-foot mark this outdoor season. There is currently no other team in the NCAA this outdoor season that has more than three athletes that have reached this mark so far. One of these five
Jayhawks is junior Casey Bowen, who three weeks ago at the Texas Relays became the ninth pole vaulter in Kansas history to reach the 18-foot mark. As he and his teammates have shown skill and unmatched depth so far this outdoor season. Bowen is not only thrilled to see what his team can do this weekend, but what they can do for the rest of the season.
"I am excited to see what the team can do this year," Bowen said. "We have tons of talent, now it is just a matter of putting it together at the right time."
Yet another school record holder will be in action on Friday when junior Michael Stigler takes the track for the 400-meter hurdle preliminaries. Coming off a 50.08 time in the event at the Texas Relays, which still stands as the fastest in the Big 12 so far this season, Stigler will look to get past prelims and impress the Jayhawk crowd for the finals on Saturday.
Action from Rock Chalk Park will kick off today at 10 a.m. and is expected to wrap up on Saturday around 3:30 p.m. Fans looking to catch this historic meet will be admitted for free on Wednesday and Thursday, while tickets for Friday and Saturday to the public will be $5. University of Kansas students will be admitted for free all weekend.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"What they have to realize and what we try to teach them is that your mistakes are going to be magnified."
— NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, on NFL players' off-the-field troubles
— USA Today

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Which NFL team has had the most player arrests since 2000?
A: The Cincinnati Bengals and Minnesota Vikings are tied with 40 each.
sportsgrid.com
THE MORNING BREW
San Francisco 49ers experience trouble with players
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis probably slept pretty well on Sunday night. It wasn't
well on Sunday night. It wasn't because of a new mattress, nor was it because of sleeping pills. No, it was because, for the first night in recent memory, his team was officially off the hook as the NFL's most troubled extracurricular team. The San Francisco 49ers' Aldon Smith made certain of that
Here's what we know. Smith, a former defensive end at Missouri, was randomly selected for additional screening while going through security at LAX airport on Sunday around 2 p.m. When chosen for said screening he became belligerent, eventually claiming that he was in possession of a bomb. He was then arrested and detained for making a false bomb threat.
But Sunday afternoon's situation wasn't the only mishap for San Fran players this offseason. It was simply the breaking point following a series of unfortunate events that began almost three weeks ago.
Yikes. On the seemingly endless list of crimes committed by professional football players, Smith's "false bomb threat" is surely a first.
On March 28, cornerback Chris Cul-

liver was arrested for allegedly striking a bicyclist with his car before ramming a witness' vehicle that was blocking his attempts to leave the scene. He also caught a charge for felony possession of brass knuckles, allegedly shaking them at the driver in his path. This after making controversial comments that gay players, "can't be in the locker room," back in 2013.
Two weeks later, on April 10, it was revealed that quarterback Colin Kaepernick is part of a Miami PD investigation concerning a questionable incident at a downtown luxury hotel. The events of that night are a bit hazy and information is still trickling out, but it's fair to say that Keep was likely in a situation he shouldn't have been in.
And now, the Smith dilemma. It's been a damaging few weeks for the
Niners' organization, and it's an issue that can't be ignored any longer. San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh must seriously examine their club's culture and social environment before making some tough decisions in the coming weeks.
The 49ers have long been considered among the league's classiest franchises. Being associated with the
type of behavior that their players have displayed in recent weeks just isn't what they're about.
Additionally, Harbaugh's comments last year that, "we want to be above reproach in everything and do everything by the rules," will draw an even closer eye on how the team handles this.
THE BREW
One of these troubled players will likely be made an example of, and the obvious choice for the honor is Culliver. Sure, Smith has possession of marijuana, possession of illegal assault weapons and two DUI charges to his name, but he's also a former Rookie of the Year, All-Pro and one of the best pass-rushers in the league. In other
words: he's not going anywhere.
Kaepernick is the face of the 49ers' franchise, the future of San Francisco football—he's staying as well. But Harbaugh forced his own hand with the remarks on his team being a model
for perfection. Though the Niners reportedly were planning on extending Culliver's contract, he's clearly the most expendable of the bunch and would swiftly quell talks of management losing control of its players.
However you spin it, it's clear that something must be done in San Fran. The team now finds itself the focus of what has become an increasingly visible problem regarding pro football players violating the law. It will be interesting to see how Baalke and Harbaugh respond, but expect some kind of action to be taken within the coming weeks.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Kansas searches for new center
By Matt Corte sports@kansan.com
Although Andrew Wiggins was coined as the once-in-a-generation player coming into the University of Kansas, he's not the one fans should worry about replacing next year.
No player will provide the same athleticism or amount of skill that Wiggins possessed, but with wings such as Wayne Selden, Brannen Greene, Andrew White and Kelly Oubre, there's plenty of talent for Coach Bill Self to fill the small forward spot.
Rather, it's Joel Embibd's anouncement to declare for the NBA draft last week that has left a gaping hole at the center position. Embibd was the only center listed on the Jayhawks' roster, while senior forward Tarik Black also provided veteran leadership at that position. But Black is gone, too.
This leaves redshirt sophomore Landen Lucas as the only player on Kansas' roster who played the majority of his minutes at center.
Could Lucas be our starting center next year? Possibly, but after a year in which we saw Lucas play only 22 games with minimal minutes on the floor, it may be asking too much of him.
Another option is Arkansas transfer Hunter Mickelson. The junior broke an Arkansas freshman record with 72 blocks in 2011-2012, and at 6-foot-10 he has prototypical height for a center.
Sitting out a year of college basketball because of transfer rules won't help anyone as much as playing could though, so I don't foresee Mickelson being the Jayhawks' starting center either.
Thankfully for the University, help could be on the way shortly. Myles Turner, the No. 2 ranked high school center according to ESPN.com, and the last unsigned McDonalds All-American has Kansas on his short list of schools he will play for next season.
"Coach Self told me himself that if Embiid stays, it's not worth my time." Turner said while answering fans questions during a live chat on USAToday.com.
The answer Turner gave shows Self being brutally honest with the recruit, but that honesty also may have worked. The 6-foot-11 Trinity High School recruit gave Self nothing but respect for telling the truth, something that could play a huge role in landing Turner.
Oddly enough, the opportunity to land Turner only came because of Embid's decision to leave for the NBA.
Not all is lost if Turner doesn't choose Kansas, as highly touted recruits Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre will certainly make a mark during their freshman seasons. However, what separates these two from Turner is simple; Alexander and Oubre are wanted, while Turner is needed.
He's needed if Kansas wants to retain its prominence with big men. He's needed if Kansas wants to win an 11th straight Big 12 regular season championship. Most importantly, he's needed if Kansas doesn't want another early exit in the NCAA tournament next season.

Kansas struggles in midweek series
KANSAS
Sophomore Drew Morovick gave up 2 runs in 5 innings against Grand Canyon.
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
The Kansas Jayhawks (22-16) took longer than usual, to break down from their post-game speech from head coach Ritch Price. The message seemed clear after Kansas 3-5 loss to Grand Canyon, and that was the Jayhawks have got to get better in their midweek games if they want to make the tournament.
"I told our guys, we got a 19-game race to the finish line. We put ourselves in position to make it to the NCAA tournament if we continue to play good," said Price.
For the third straight time, sixth overall, the Jayhawks have left the diamond in a weekly contest in defeat. The home loss to the Antelopes pushes their week play record to now, 2-6 on the year.
The stage was practically set for the Jayhawks to turn their weekday misfortunes around. After perhaps their most complete performance all year, a 5-1 win over Texas Christian University, the Jayhawks were set to take on the Grand Canyon Antelopes in a two game set at Hoglund Ballpark.
"It's an inexcusable loss. It's a bad taste in the mouth. That's one of those games you got to win. Weekdays are just as important as the weekend games," said senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge.
"I was so proud of the toughness we showed against TCU. We can't go forward and back like that, tonight is a clear example. They got five runs off six hits and that's basically mathematically impossible to do," said Price.
Grand Canyon is in its first year as a Division One program and has a lot of younger players who are relatively new to big league collegiate baseball. Most notably, its freshman pitcher, Zebastian Valenzuela, who made just his
innings of work.
Junior pitcher Drew Morovick got the start for the Jayhawks. He struggled with his command and gave up two early runs off four hits
"It's an inexcusable loss. It's a bad taste in the mouth. That's one of those games you got to win."
KA'IANA ELDREDGE Senior catcher
second start Tuesday night.
He had tossed just eight innings prior to game one and walked 10 guys. He walked just two Jayhawks, allowing three runs off seven hits in five
through the first three innings. He would eventually settle down, retiring the next six Antelopes in order before giving the ball to junior Dakota Smith.
Smith did quick work in the sixth, the Jayhawks third consecutive 1-2-3 inning, before taking the lead in the home half of the sixth. After his job on the mound, Smith led off with a single and swipe second to put him in scoring position with no outs. He would later slide home on the third Kansas sac fly to take their first lead of the game at 3-2.
Just when it looked as if the Jayhawks would get that midweek monkey off their back, they had a catastrophic seventh inning. Smith struck out the first batter but walked the next two. A couple of passed balls by Eldredge, and an error on Aaron Hernandez, and the Antelopes scored three
runs off just one hit.
As if that weren't enough, another mental mistake in the eighth ended any hope the Jayhawks had. After a lead-off double by Smith, he was caught leaning too far towards third and was thrown out to end any rally they might have had.
"I am more disappointed in myself than my team. I walked a couple guys I messed up on base running. A lot of this is on me, not the team," said Smith.
Kansas will look to avoid the sweep as they play game two today. First pitch will be at 6 p.m.

For as much as the Kansas men's basketball banquet was about remembering a season that ended in despair, there was still one message that stood out from the rest.
Beyond the quick roasting of the players and staff by Bill Self, the 2013-14 Jayhawks were brought together for the last time as teammates to celebrate as Big 12 champions.
WIGGINS NAMED
MR. JAYHAWK
Freshman Andrew Wiggins entered the year with his name mentioned in the same breath as Kansas legend Danny Manning. It's only right that he leaves Kansas the same way.
Wiggins was given the Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" Award after a season in which
Self also gave a nod to Manning, who recently accepted the head-coaching position at Wake Forest, saying how happy he was for his family.
he set the Kansas freshman scoring record (597 points) and grabbed 205 rebounds.
Self repeatedly said that there was no possible way that Wiggins could live up to the hype he received coming into the year, but that shouldn't take away from what he was able to accomplish in his short time at the University.
"It meant a lot to me," Wiggins said. "It kind of caught me off guard. I didn't have a speech prepared. I'm honored to get it."
"He was the best player on a Big 12 championship team that has brought as much exposure to this school in a positive way as much as anybody has," Self said. "I thought it was very deserving."
GETTING HEALTHY
It seems Joel Embid's back wasn't the only nagging issue during the season. Self announced that Wayne Selden Jr. recently had a minor procedure to correct an issue in his knee that had been bothering him since the beginning of the season.
While Self said the playing on the injury couldn't make it any worse, Selden never had any issue getting on the court.
"It was just bad enough not to do anything about it," Self said. "You could tell he probably didn't have the same pop he had back in August and September."
D. W. HOLLIS
Selden is expected to be healthy going into the summer.
Tarik Black has also been banged up recently. The senior who has been preparing for the NBA Draft recently tweaked his left ankle but also plans to get back on the court soon and continue working out.

Registrar aims to improve course efficiency
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
The University Registrar and the academic departments are looking toward a more efficient way of creating class schedules for academic semesters and reducing the use of paper in the process.
Green scheduling, which will be used to prepare the course schedule for Spring 2015, aims to make a simpler and more efficient method for academic departments to coordinate their courses, and to communicate with the University Registrar.

Brian McDow, the senior associate director of the Enrollment Systems Integration and Student Records, said the University Registrar currently has to
"If we have a longer time frame,then we have more flexibility for our students and for our staff to work with students."
RANDALL BRUMFIELD Director of UAC
The change will not only affect the efficiency of communication between the individual academic departments and the University Registrar, but it will also affect the enrollment and advising processes. The course schedule for Spring
2015 will be published a week earlier than it has been in previous semesters, falling on September 25 instead of early October, McDow said.
The Undergraduate Advising Center provided its service to over 500 students during the last week of March, and experienced an increase in advising traffic the following week, meeting with over 630 students. Having the course schedule available for an extra week may increase flexibility for students and advising faculty, said Randall Brumfield, the director of the Undergraduate Advising Center.

"I hadn't had soda this much since high school, but now that it's opened, I've drank it every day," Duval said.
Since day one, packs of high school students, father-son pairs and trendy townies have wandered the aisles searching for something unique to
quench their thirsts, with either a classic cream soda or a bubbly rendition of espresso.
"I've seen some giddy older people here who haven't seen a brand in 50 years," Thompson said. "They just light up and buy two cases of it."

Committee report assesses online education
The KU Center for Online and Distance Learning will
MCKENNA HARFORD
news@kansan.com
The Online Education Committee's report about online classes revealed benefits and concerns, all of which will be considered by the University in the future of online classes.
The committee's report advised the University to watch four main areas: the quality of the online classes, the time required to develop a class into an online class, the economics and intellectual property involved, and integration of online classes.
"There needs to be clear parallel pathways of course approval, course assessment, so that the quality of online courses are as good — or better — than face-to-face classes," said Professor Mike Williams, who is also the co-director of the online education committee.
start to transform face-to-face classes into online-friendly classes by helping faculty members build an online course and running it through a quality-check program, which can simulate what parts of the course will be successful learning tools and what won't be.
"It's more about becoming more effective in how we teach and how to be more effective in creating an environment where learning can actually happen," Williams said. "It speaks to the understanding that our teachers are trying to find the best ways possible to facilitate learning, in other words finding ways to make it easier, more efficient."
Williams agreed, saying that he feels one of the benefits of online learning is that
Assuring the quality of online classes means students get the same education with the added benefit of flexibility, said Sara Rosen, KU vice provost for academic affairs.
the courses can be more interactive and get more students involved.
"The outside-of-class contact that I have, I tend to have more contact with more students," Williams said. "There is almost a bit more civility to [online classes] than in a classroom and more students share their ideas."
There needs to be clear parallel pathways of course approval, course assessment. "
MIKE WILLIAMS University professor
However, Williams cautioned that students who sign up for online classes should be aware of their time-management skills and maturity level because online classes require more focus.
Despite this challenge.
there were around 51 courses designed through the Center for Online and Distance Learning in 2013.
["The CODL] can work with [faculty] to figure out how to bring this material into an online space, in an engaging space, in a way that students can respond to" Rosen said.
The University is moving toward a variety of hybrid courses, which integrate online and face-to-face components. Also, the University will offer flipped courses, where preparation is done outside of class and students use class time for active learning, like group work.
"I think it helps us be progressive in that we are responding to the student population needs," Rosen said. "It allows us to be more global, be more mobile. It allows us to work with students where they are."
This expansion of online courses coincides with how the University is changing to
a more outcome- and goals-based learning style, rather than a course-based system. Rosen said due to this change, the University will continue to explore the role of online classes in education.
"We'really have to think about whether degree programs are a set of competencies or a set of learning experiences," Rosen said.
Edited by Blair Sheade
FUTURE OF ONLINE EDUCATION
Rosen hopes that online education will lead to lengthier study abroad opportunities.
The School of Education has partnered with Everspring to market online courses to students outside of the University, as well as those in the program.
The School of Journalism has started to offer online intersession classes during winter break.

Between Baysinger and Thompson, they've tasted 30 percent of the wide selection. They limit themselves to one bottle per day, even though the majority of flavors are made with cane sugar as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup.
The grand opening is planned for June, and until then, Baysinger and Thompson have even more ideas. In addition to the expanding collection, they plan to add freezers with ice cream for floats, additional seating, the prospect for groups to sample tastings, a patio and eventually make their own soda.

that exist between majors concern the hard sciences. These conflicts especially occur between the CLAS and the School of Engineering. Powers said that the scheduling between these two units is something that has evolved historically, and said that student complaints in scheduling are what bring about scheduling changes.
"If there happens to be something where there is a conflict one semester, it never happens again." Powers said. "But we really change things with very little frequency because there is sort of a complex web there. It has to do with things that conflict. It has to do with lecture hall size, labs, math class availability. It's pretty complex."

Grad students discuss union membership
CODY KUIPER
news@kansan.com
Spurred by the possibility of a University policy that could reduce their work hours, graduate students held a meeting on Wednesday to discuss reviving membership in a union already in place at the University.
The meeting of about 20 students from various departments focused on recruiting members to join the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, a union representing graduate student employees that has been under contract with the University since 1997. The union was active until the mid-2000s when membership eventually dissolved, leaving the organization with no members but still technically representing graduate student employees.
"If you're a teaching assistant, you sign a form that says, 'The union agrees to this,' so that sort of gives you
the idea that there is a union, but there's nobody there," said Laurie Petty, a Ph.D. student in sociology who helped organize the meeting. "It was essentially defunct, but we're still bound by the contract from when the union was active."
"We need to recruit membership and reconstitute ourselves essentially as GTAC, and we can move forward from there to address concerns and changes that are affecting us now as opposed to ten years ago," Petty said. "We're just trying to give students a voice in things that affect them."
Petty said the main goal of the meeting was to begin rebuilding membership and leadership for the union on campus and making sure the representation for workers is up-to-date again.
An email from the University of Kansas Policy Library leaked last month, detailing a policy that could cut the maximum hours graduate students are allowed to work
for the University from 30 hours per week to 20 in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act. Since then, hundreds of graduate students signed a petition asking the University to not cut their hours, prompting a reply from the University promising forums and discussion on the issue going forward.
If a policy were to be implemented cutting graduate student employee hours, in order to file a grievance, the union would need to find the University in violation of an article in the contract, but no article currently pertains to the hours worked by graduate students.
Rachel Craft, an organizer of the meeting and a Ph.D. student in Sociology, said the idea for reviving the union had been around for a while, but the leaking of the policy idea served as a catalyst for reorganizing the union.
"I think there's been some discussion among graduate
students for a while," Craft said. "We did notice our GTA contracts started becoming more stagnate, because my first couple years as a GTA we experienced some mediocre increases in our wages, but I've noticed that's stagnated in the past few years, so its small issues like that and some of the issues that we face in our day-to-day lives that have started those discussions, but I think now is an important time to formally get involved and make things happen."
Craft and fellow sociology Ph.D. student Adrianne Showalter Matlock began sending emails in the days after learning of the policy proposal, contacting graduate students in various departments to set up a meeting discussing the union. Showalter Matlock said that even though the potential cut in hours helped kick-start the discussion, one of the main reasons for the meeting was to begin to create a unified voice for graduate students.
"This meeting is just for graduate students to come and get information about proposed policy changes, and to discuss ways we can work as a graduate student body to represent ourselves when important policies are going to be put in place or considered that affect us too." Showalter Matlock said.
At the meeting, students also discussed rewriting the bylaws of the union to bring them up to date, and they hope to have enough structure in place to table and recruit more members at the graduate student orientation in the fall.
The students also began planning for a "Union 101" informational meeting with representatives from the GTAC, tentatively set for April 30. More information on future events and meetings can be found on the KU Graduate Student Facebook page.

Neb. governor signs water sustainability bill
POLICY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — Gov.
Dave Heineman signed a bill
Wednesday designed to help
Nebraska prepare for floods,
water shortages and water
quality problems.
Budget bills approved this year are expected to generate $32 million to help pay for projects related to water management and quality, flood control, and compliance with interstate compacts by mid- 2015. After that, the measure will provide about $11 million annually.
The bill by Sen. Tom Carlson, of Holdrege, comes in the midst of recent drought years and legal fights with Kansas over access to the Republican River, which runs through southern Nebraska.
"This is a difficult and challenging issue, and this legislation is aimed at planning for better future water use in our state," Heineman said. "Preserving and managing our water resources is important to Nebraskans, especially those who work in our No. 1
industry - agriculture."
The law will also expand the Natural Resources Commission, from 16 members to 27, to ensure that more major water users are represented. The new commission would include irrigators, cities, public power districts and wildlife conservation groups.
"I believe that (the measure) will be remembered as a bill that helped make water sustainability a possibility for generations to come."
TOM CARLSON
Nebraska senator
Carlson, a Republican candidate for governor, said the commission was expanded to include people from different backgrounds and different interests in the state's water supply.
sustainability a possibility for generations to come," he said.
"I believe that (the measure) will be remembered as a bill that helped make water
Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial said the law will provide water projects with a steady source of state money, matched by local government dollars. Christensen said it also will force ground water and surface water users to work together, despite their past conflicts over the limited water supply.
"For too many years now, we've been on opposite sides of the fence, fighting rather than working together," he said.
Carlson and Christensen represent large areas of southern Nebraska, including parts of the Republican River basin. Water usage in the basin is driven heavily by the Republican River compact, an agreement between Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.The 1943 compact requires Nebraska to send some of its water downstream to Kansas, but the two states have battled over the river for years in a series of lawsuits.

STATE 'Do Jewish' to protest WBC in Leawood
Some University students will gather for a peaceful counter-protest on Friday in front of Westboro Baptist Church picketers at the funeral for two of the men killed at the Jewish Community Center Sunday.
After WBC announced it would picket the funeral in Leawood, senior Alex Brown and other students created a Facebook event page, "The 'Do Jewish' Movement." Between its creation on Sunday and Wednesday afternoon, the event had 215 participants.
Brown said he created the page because he and his friends couldn't sleep on Saturday night, and they wanted to do something. He said they wanted to get the page up before Passover started on Monday so Jewish families could keep it in their prayers during this week of prayer.
Brown said the Facebook group reminds people that not only leiwish people are being targeted and hurt.
"Selfish people who act on their hatred affect more than the actual group targeted," Brown said.
Brown said support for the counter-protest is welcome from all denominations.

The comment was made in response to the Senate vote on March 25 to repeal Kansas' Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). A couple of things came to mind after I read this quote. First, this guy knows exactly how I feel when I see the smoke stacks of the Lawrence Energy Center from the windows of the KU Memorial Union and second, if the House votes down this repeal I would be both shocked and impressed.
Here I sit, shocked and impressed. On March 26, just one day after the Senate voted to repeal the 2009 RPS, which requires all Kansas utility companies to provide 20 percent renewable energy by 2020, the Kansas House voted down the repeal 44-77.The bill was pushed by a Heartland Institute (a famously conservative think tank funded by the Koch brothers and known for its efforts to debunk anthropogenic climate change) analysis that named the renewable energy mandate as the cause of increased utility rates in Kansas. Watchdog groups and some Kansas decision-makers have since debunked this claim, naming increased federal controls on coal pollution as the culprit.

meanwhile, the House saved Gov. Brownback from either approving a bill that goes against his pro-wind stance, or vetting the bill and royally ticking off members of his own party.
The move by the Kansas House is important for many reasons. First, RPS has pushed the demand for energy in an otherwise coal-dominated market. The subsequent boom in construction of wind farms brought roughly 4,000 jobs to Kansas and 2,713
megawatts of electricity. That's enough energy to power 800,000 residences according to a 2013 article in the Kansas City Star. Second, if RPS were repealed, Kansas would more than likely lose its rank as the ninth largest supplier of wind energy in the country. That ranking, coupled with our superior terrain for wind capture is what makes us appealing to wind companies. Third, the decision to protect RPS protects us from further ridicule as a backward state, moving the opposite direction as the rest of the country in social and environmental issues. Essentially, we showed the nation that we are here to play ball in the renewable energy industry.
That being said, I will
not fail to mention that the majority of our power in Kansas still comes from coal-fired power plants. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 61 percent of our electricity generation comes from coal-fired power plants, which account for 31,692,844 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. As a state we have made a progressive step toward sustainability but we need to take more. Because we are the newly dubbed "Saudi Arabia of wind energy," we must focus on what our landscape has given us, rather than exploiting the coal and natural gas that lies beneath.
SOCIAL ISSUES
Think before you speak: questions can be dumb
Gabrielle Murran is a sophomore from Pittsburg studying environmental studies.
In my everyday life I try to always live by the notion that there are no dumb questions. Sometimes, though, that's just too hard to do. You see, in certain instances there are questions that are inappropriate or rude to ask. In other instances, there are questions that are just plain thoughtless. Regardless, most awkward situations can be avoided if one stops to think for a moment.
Here's an example. I have unilateral coloboma, an unusual deformity of the eye that I have had since birth. It can cause a lot of horrible side effects, but in my case, the only negative thing it really causes is a key-hole shaped pupil and slight vision impairment. Basically, if both eyes were like my affected eye, I'd need glasses. The other consequence of the pupil being abnormally shaped is that my unaffected eye is blue while the affected eye is green.
By Anna Wenner
opinion@kansan.com
It's natural that people are curious about my eyes, as they're pretty unusual. I've never met someone else who has coloboma or eyes that are two different colors, so I'm not surprised when friends and acquaintances have questions. I always prefer someone ask questions directly than gossip with others when I'm not around. I don't even have an expectation of people being politically correct when they ask about my eye. As long as their intention is good and their words are thought
through, I don't really mind answering. However, there has always been an interesting tendency for people to forget the second part — to act as if thinking through your question before asking isn't important.
I remember adults coming up to my mom and I when I was a kid, and after seeing my eyes, the adults would ask questions like "What's with her eye?" and "Why is her eye so weird?" I was certainly old enough to understand them, and my mom frequently had to remind them that my vision was impaired, not my hearing. Kids would tease me at school for having a "freaky eye" or a "cat eye." Even now, at college, people notice my eyes and ask some pretty uncomfortable, loud questions.
The thing is, I don't mind awkward questions,
I mind stupid questions.
One friend confessed that they had wondered about my eye since we met two years ago, but they didn't want to ask about it and offend me. That's not what I want, and I don't think it's what anyone really wants.
Having an open dialogue is the only way to really understand something new.
More than anything, I want my friends to all notice
and ask about my eye so that they won't spend years of our lives together wondering.
However, I also want people to stop and think for a moment before asking. The most common question I am asked about my eye is "Did you know your eyes are two different colors?" It takes all of my strength not to roll my eyes and reply, "Wow, if only I'd looked in a mirror before now!" I've been asked worse than that, though. I've had people I've never spoken to stop me in a crowd and start the conversation with, "Woah, look at her eyes!" as they glance at all their friends. I've had a woman ask me about my eyes, and after I told her, say she was curious since coloboma was a trait she breeds out of her dogs. Wow, thanks.
What I'm really getting at here is that we are adults. We are educated college students, and we know how to ask a proper question. I don't mind when a 6-yearold stops me and asks me if I know that my eyes are "weird," but I definitely mind if a classmate of mine stops and asks the same question. Questions are an important step to understanding. Just be sure when you open your mouth to ask a question, that it's a question worth asking. Sometimes, it really is what you say, not how you say it.

LITERATURE
Literature on Twitter pushes boundaries
Can Twitter be an artistic medium for literature? Twitter has been around for a while now, and those that joined early have seen it grow and mature (or become less mature, depending on your opinion). Twitter has progressed from mundane "status updates" to celebrity accounts to news. Users have continued to innovate, from the comedy of @robdelaney to the non sequitur of @Horse_ebooks. Despite the restrictive 140 character limit (or possibly thanks to it), the range of creativity that spans Twitter is enormous. Recently Teju Cole (@tejucole) has pushed the boundaries of literature by publishing two works via Twitter.
The first began on January 8 with a retweet: "... to the subway, I saw a man on the ground. He sat on the sidewalk, under trees, with his feet out to the quiet street." Over time the story, entitled "Hafiz," developed tweet by tweet from seemingly unconnected accounts. The tweets were collected into a coherent narrative by retweets on Teju's feed, while each contributor drew readers to the story with their out-of-the ordinary narrative fragments. The second is a nonfiction piece entitled "A Piece of the Wall," which documents Teju's observations and conversations with people concerning immigration in Nogales, Arizona on the Mexican-American border. Specific accounts were made for each character to handle dialogue, and Cole's photography was interspersed throughout to accentuate the narrative.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK Do you think Kansas should focus more on wind energy?
Follow us on Twitter @KansanOpinion. Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them.
What is remarkably innovative about these two pieces is that Cole could have just as easily published them in a medium like The New
Besides the merit of the writing itself (and I urge you to read both; they are excellent), I think that these works are worthwhile because of the statement that Cole is making about the universality of art and literature. By making them widely accessible, he wishes to connect with as many readers as possible: "A lot of the people I want to be read by, a lot of the people I want to speak to, are not people who have subscriptions to The New Yorker or The New York Times, so it's important for me to speak to them in this way also" (NPR Interview). The theme that I return to time and again in my columns is how literature can speak to you, and Teju is at the forefront of finding new ways to do so. Get out there and read something you can connect to.
Yorker, but he chose to use Twitter, forgoing the monetary compensation that would have come with publishing elsewhere. Making these items available on Twitter fundamentally changed their audience. Where before, the pieces would have been read by a given publication's subscribers—most likely predominantly middle class and highly literate—instead anyone who is drawn into the narrative by a (re)tweet can read.

2011 was a breakout year for Tyler, the Creator, he released the video for "Yonkers" and almost instantly became a star. The video is very minimalistic, the only things in the video are Tyler, a stool, a noose and a cockroach. Even though there isn't much going on, the video perfectly fits the song. The song is grim and spooky and Tyler's performance in the video matches that. In the video Tyler does several crazy things such as eating the cockroach and hanging himself at the end. The video was shocking when it debuted but it's undoubtedly one of the best videos of the past five years. Without this video, Tyler may not have the success he enjoys today.

In 2010, Kanye West released his fifth solo album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," to much critical acclaim. West also made a short film to accompany the album, entitled "Runaway." The film features the official music video for West's single of the same name. West flaunts his artistic chops with the video as it features over the top imagery and heavy metaphors. There were several videos from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," but the "Runaway" video reigns supreme.

We still have about eight months of 2014 left and over the past few months a lot of great videos have been released, but there's one video that stands out among all of them.

There are things in this video that you might have thought you'd never see. For example, a police officer's face melts off because he presumably couldn't handle the turn up. The video is incredibly entertaining and you won't be able to take your eyes off of the screen.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
From left, Johnny Depp as Will Caster, Robecca Hall as Evelyn Caster, and Paul Bettany as Max Waters in Alcon Entertainment's sci-fi thriller "Transcendence," a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
'Transcendence' draws parallels with 'Her'
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
"Transcendence" is "Her' for dummies — a romance between a woman and a machine for people who care more about technology, pixels and special effects than, you know, the things in life that matter.
The movie marks the debut of cinematographer Wally Pfister, a frequent Christopher Nolan collaborator, and you can picture him sitting at home at Oscar night, shaking his fists and yelling at the TV when Spike Jonze won the Best Original Screenplay award for "Her." Judging by the size and scope of the movie, Pfister probably started working on his film first. But there are too many similarities not to compare the two pictures, and there isn't a single instance in which Pfister comes out top, aside from the number of shots of Johnny Depp speaking into a futuristic Skype camera.
Why pay the notoriously costly actor his typically enormous salary when he's barely in the movie? That could be Max Headroom macking on Katherine Heigl up there and you wouldn't notice the difference. Heigl would have probably snuck in a couple of cute pratfalls, though, or a scene where she grabs a cord and asks "Where
does this go?" while holding it comically near her face.
The premise of "Transcendence" (which was written by Jack Paglen, who should invest his paycheck wisely) follows what happens when the terminally ill Depp comes up with a groundbreaking idea to plug himself into a mammoth computer — an enormous, sentient machine with advanced artificial intelligence and see if he can continue to live virtually when his body dies on him. His wife and loyal partner (Brecca Hall) goes along with the plan, if only for the possibility of not losing her husband. As FBI / NSA agents, Morgan Freeman and Cillian Murphy see nothing wrong with this idea, even if Depp would gain instant control of every computer and smart device on the planet if he succeeds. Hey, what's a little God complex between friends, right?
Only two people in the movie seem to have any common sense at all: Paul Bettany, as another of Depp's fellow scientists, who isn't too sure this whole let's-give Depp-control-of-the-planet enterprise is a good idea, and Kate Mara (as driven here as she is on "House of Cards"), who is part of a terrorist organization plotting to pull
the plug on this bunch of notso-bright brainiacs.
"Transcendence" is filled with preposterous, you-gotta-be-kidding-me story elements you can't stop to think about, or else you'll start craving a trip to the concession stand
anything to stave off the boredom. (Wouldn't the government notice a gigantic solar-powered laboratory the size of a university seems to have popped up in a dusty town like a weed?) As Depp's power's grows, his performance becomes more and more HAL-like (still the grandmaster of evil machines), and after he starts seizing physical control of people and gives them super-strength, I kept waiting for him to pull off a toupee and break out with a Dr. Evil laugh.
For all its improbabilities, "Her" explored the intricacies of romantic relationship and how much they hurt when they end while giving you plenty of neat eye-candy. "Transcendence" is a movie that, aside from a few scene where he's seen walking around in a suit, Depp could have shot in his living room while instant-messaging his agent about the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. That prospect, torturous as it sounds, is a better alternative than this.
WGN America has high expectations for 'Salem'
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SHREVEPORT, La. — A woodsy stretch of Willow Lake Farm, just outside this city, has been painstakingly built to look like a 17th century New England village, filled with shops and houses with steep-pitched roofs and drab clapboard exterior.
Milling about nearby are women in elaborate capes and cinched dresses, and men clad in peasant shirts and heavy coats.
It's all textbook quaint — until you see the towering gallows at the center of town. This is the setting for "Salem," the new TV series from Tribune Co.'s WGN America set in the Massachusetts village that was the scene of notorious Colonial witch trials.
The show itself will be a trial of sorts for WGN America.
With "Salem," the Chicago network _ best known for showing Chicago Cubs baseball games and sitcom rurs _ is entering the increasingly crowded field of original content. The hope is the new programs can lift WGN America from being largely a regional player to a top-tier national cable channel.
All this is not lost on Peter Liguori, the chief executive of Tribune Co. (which also owns the Los Angeles Times). Liguori says "Salem," which premieres April 20 at 10 p.m., is simply the opening act in transforming the struggling media company into a profitable TV-centric enterprise.
"This is Step One," Liguori said. "We are by far and away no FX. We are no AMC. We are no HBO."
The new show will run Sundays, the most hotly contested night in television because of shows such as HBO's "Game of Thrones," CBS's "The Good Wife" and AMC's "Mad Men." "Salem" must also stand out from a host of other programs with the supernatural or witches at their narrative center.
But Liguori, a veteran entertainment executive who oversaw programming at Fox and FX, said WGN America has potential because
of the quality of its new programming and Tribune's media muscle. The company is one of the largest television station owners in the country, with nearly 40 stations, including WGN America, and it can reach more than 70 million homes through cable providers and satellite services such as DirecTV.
"It's got tremendous upside," he said. "It's prime real estate." The company has more than witches waiting in the wings. Other original scripted series ordered by WGN America include "Manhattan," a period piece set in Los Alamos, N.M., that dramatizes the Manhattan Project scientists racing to build the first atomic bomb.
The network also will present another version of "The Ten Commandments." The 10-part miniseries boasts high-profile actors and filmmakers - including Michael Cera, Wes Craven, Lee Daniels, Jim Sheridan and Gus Van Sant - each directing an installment.
"The risk is balanced by the potential reward. 'Salem' sets the foundation."
BILL CARROLL TV advertising analyst
Both "Salem" and "Manhattan" were ordered straight to series with 13 episodes each. Although increasingly common in the fierce competition for original programming, straight-to-order series carry risks because executives don't have a pilot to review. That's often where weaknesses in the plot or the characters are identified — and corrected — before the show airs.
Media analysts say the move may be risky, but it is necessary for 'Tribune Co.', which is poised to spin off its newspaper holdings later this year and is still recovering from a four-year stretch in bankruptcy reorganization it emerged from in 2012. Without original programming, a network cannot expect to
grow financially, they say.
grow mentally, they say.
"Thethey are now in a forward-looking mode, as opposed to maintaining status quo," said Bill Carroll, an analyst at Katz Television Group, which advises companies on TV advertising. "The risk is balanced by the potential reward. 'Salem' sets the foundation."
In another move to bolster revenue, the company also recently relaunched L.A.-based Tribune Studios to develop original programming for its own network and local stations owned by Tribune Broadcasting.
Last month, WGN America joined the annual stampede to the cable "uprfront market," where networks unveil their new programming lineups for advertisers in hopes of corralling big dollars.
It's too early to know how Tribune performed, but upfront sales for cable have steadily risen for years as networks scramble to beef up their stock of original programming. In 2013-14, ad-supported cable networks generated a record $10.2 billion in advertising commitments, surpassing the $9.15 billion in sales for the broadcast networks.
AMC's zombie apocalypsetale, "The Walking Dead," routinely outperformed its scripted cousins on broadcast networks. HBO's fourthseason premiere of sword-and-dragon fantasy "Game of Thrones" drew so many viewers that its streamingservice was overloaded andshut down.
"Salem" places a twist on the infamous Massachusetts trials. The supernatural drama posits there was good reason for the hysteria: The witches were real and they were running the trials.
"Knowing that the horror drama and supernatural drama is a genre that's thriving and the audience seems to have an appetite for is important because it can do some of the heavy lifting for us in terms of drawing audience to the network," said Matt Cherniss, president and general manager of WGN America and Tribune Studios.

Nikko Jenkins, charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of four Omaha people last summer, is led to court by a Douglas County deputy in Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday. Jenkins was found guilty on all charges.
Suspect found guilty in 4 Omaha shooting deaths
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb. — A Nebraska man described by one prison psychiatrist as a "psychopath" and "one of the most dangerous people" the doctor had ever evaluated was found guilty Wednesday of four counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of four Omaha people last summer.
Nikko Jenkins, 27, who is representing himself, filed a handwritten motion to the Douglas County District Court last week stating his intention to plead guilty to all felony counts against him. But on Wednesday, he pleaded no contest to the murder counts, eight weapons counts associated with the killings and two separate counts of being a felon with a gun.
Judge Peter Bataillon found him guilty of all charges.
A no-contest plea acknowledges there is sufficient evidence to convict but is not an admittance of guilt.
Prosecutors say Jenkins shot Juan Uribe-Pena, Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz, Curtis Bradford and Andrea Kruger in three separate ambushes over 10 days last summer after his July 30 release from prison without supervision.
While prosecutors say that Jenkins planned the killings to cover up robberies of the victims or to keep them from identifying him, Jenkins insisted he did not remember killing anyone, only that an Egyptian god named Ahpophis ordered him in a foreign language to kill the four as human sacrifices.

Dr. Eugene Oliveto, who serves as a psychiatrist for the prison system in Douglas County, testified in a February hearing on Jenkins' competency that Jenkins was a "psychopath" and "one of the most dangerous people I have ever evaluated."
Bataillon found Jenkins competent to stand trial.
Jenkins had flipped between expressing his guilt and declaring his innocence since being charged with the killings in September. After initially pleading not guilty, he declared in November that he wanted to plead guilty. He had changed his mind again by late January, saying he is mentally ill and should be released from jail.
During a contentious two-hour hearing in which Jenkins cursed and attempted to introduce various arguments rejected by the judge, he said Wednesday that he wanted to plead guilty because he believes his constitutional rights are being violated and that he can't get a fair trial in state court. The judge later let him plead no contest to the charges.
"My problem is, he disagrees with your factual analysis of the case. He's not admitting to anything."
PETER BATAILLON
Judge
Jenkins had tried to plead no contest to all the charges earlier this month, but the judge refused to accept the plea because of the severity of the charges.
The judge later allowed Jenkins to plead no contest to the murder counts, as well, when Jenkins denied prosecutors' version of how Jenkins carried out the fatal shootings.
"My problem is, he disagrees with your factual analysis of the case," Bataillon said to Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine, in explaining why he could not accept Jenkins' guilty pleas to the murder counts. "He's not admitting to anything."
Police say Jenkins used a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun loaded with deer slugs Aug. 11 to kill Cajiga-Ruiz and Uribe-Pena, whose bodies were found inside a pickup truck in southeast Omaha. Eight days later, he used a small-caliber gun to kill Bradford, a one-time prison acquaintance. Then, on Aug. 21, police say, Jenkins pulled Andrea Kruger from her SUV as she drove home from work and shot her four times before speeding off in her vehicle.
Prosecutors said Wednesday they will still seek the death penalty for Jenkins, who waived his right to a jury trial on the question of whether he should be put to death or sentenced to life in prison without parole. A three-judge panel will instead decide his fate.
Kleine said he doesn't know of a Nebraska case in which a person has been executed after pleading no contest to first-degree murder, but said jenkins is not the first defendant to plead no contest and be convicted of first-degree murder.
Jenkins' release from prison is one of several that have prompted the state to reconsider its supervised release programs.
He had threatened violence while incarcerated and begged corrections officials to commit him to a mental health institution. A state ambudsman's report released in January faulted the department for its handling of the case.
Two bills introduced by Sen. Brad Ashford of Omaha on the topic were passed by the Nebraska Legislature this year and are awaiting the governor's approval. One would provide more supervision for former inmates and another would create programs that help them transition back to society.

In this Oct. 23, 2013 file photo, Dennis Marton walks with protesters at a rally outside The Theodore Levin United States Courthouse in Detroit.

Detroit still needs $350M from state lawmakers
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Pressure was building Wednesday for Michigan lawmakers to commit $350 million to Detroit pensions, a day after the city reached tentative agreements with pension funds and a retiree group to reduce payouts.
The city has an $816 million pledge from foundations, philanthropists and Gov. Rick Snyder to shore up pension funds and prevent the sale of city-owned art as part of Detroit's strategy for exiting the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history.
But the state's share still hasn't been nailed down, and some in the Republican-controlled Legislature aren't sold yet.
“It's not going to be easy because it's so easily demagoued,” said House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall, who supports the plan. “There will be an important balance between ensuring Detroit's success on the positive side and ensuring Detroit doesn't lapse back
into trouble on the cautionary side."
Retired police officers and firefighters would see smaller cost-of-living payments but no cut in pension benefits under a deal announced Tuesday. Detroit's other retirees, who have smaller pensions, would get a 4.5 percent cut and elimination of yearly inflation allowances under a separate compromise.
Retirees and city employees who qualify for a pension will get a ballot in a few weeks. If they don't support the plan, the $816 million vanishes and deeper pension cuts are inevitable, Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr warned.
Bolger said the city's unions should put money in the pot and not just in the form of concessions from members.
"They have profited from these contracts. They have collected union dues. They should step forward and join in mitigating the effects of the bankruptcy", he said.
State aid for Detroit is tricky for the Republican governor and lawmakers who are uncomfortable with
talk of a "bailout." Some legislators are worried about the rescue setting a precedent if other cities collapse. Draft legislation is in the works; the money could be diverted from tobacco settlement funds that Michigan receives each year or come from securitizing future payments to get a lump sum up front.
One potential advantage for Snyder is that southeastern Michigan is home to many lawmakers who want to see the city turn a page. Nearly five of every 10 lawmakers represent parts of Wayne, Oakland or Macomb counties. City retirees at risk of significant pension cuts without state aid also live in many of those districts.
Snyder, Bolger and other leaders in the Capitol are hoping to persuade them that Michigan's long-term health is related to a healthier Detroit. The House returns Thursday, while the Senate is back in session next week.
But lawmakers outside the region say their constituents have other priorities, such as better roads and schools.
Federal judge overturns 6-week abortion ban
POLICY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BISMARCK, N.D. — A federal judge on Wednesday overturned a North Dakota law that bans abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy and before many women know they're pregnant.
U. S. District Judge Daniel Hovland said the law is "invalid and unconstitutional" and that it "cannot withstand a constitutional challenge." The state attorney general said he was looking at whether to appeal the decision by the Bismarck-based judge.
North Dakota's heartbeat measure was among four anti-abortion bills that Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed into law last year with overwhelming support from the state's Republican-led Legislature. Backed by the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, the state's only abortion clinic, the Red River Clinic in Fargo, filed a lawsuit against the
North Dakota is among several conservative states that have passed new abortion restrictions in recent years, but abortion rights supporters called North Dakota's fetal heartbeat law the most restrictive in the country. A fetal heartbeat law passed in Arkansas would ban abortions at 12 weeks into pregnancy, but it was overturned by another federal judge. The state's attorney general has said he will appeal.
heartbeat law last July.
"The United States Supreme Court has spoken and has unequivocally said no state may deprive a woman of the choice to terminate her pregnancy at a point prior to viability," Hovland wrote in his ruling. "The controversy over a woman's right to choose to have an abortion will never end. The issue is undoubtedly one of the most divisive of social issues. The United States Supreme Court will eventually weigh in on this emotionally-fraught issue but, until that occurs, this Court is obligated to uphold existing Supreme
"The court was correct to call this law exactly what it is: a blatant violation of the constitutional guarantees afforded to all women."
Court precedent."
NANCY NORTHRUP Center for Reproductive Rights
Nancy Northrup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights praised Hovland's ruling.
"The court was correct to call this law exactly what it is: a blatant violation of the constitutional guarantees afforded to all women," Northrp said in a statement. "But women should not be forced to go to court, year after year in state after state, to protect their constitutional rights. We hope today's decision, along with the long line of decisions striking
down these attempts to choke off access to safe and legal abortion services in the U.S., sends a strong message to politicians across the country that our rights cannot be legislated away."
Supporters of the measure have said the measure is a challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 ruling that legalized abortion up until a fetus is considered viable, usually at 22 to 24 weeks. Opponents say it's an attempt to shutter the Red River Clinic.
The director of the Fargo clinic, Tammi Kromenaker, said Hovland's ruling was expected.
"It's not a surprise that the judge ruled this way but it's definitely a relief," she said. "We told the Legislature and we urged the governor to veto the bill, telling him this was not going to withstand constitutional muster."
Last year, lawmakers in oil-rich North Dakota allocated $400,000 that was requested by Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem to defend against any lawsuits arising from the state's new abortion laws.
Stenehjem told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he needed to read Hovland's ruling and talk to the governor and others before deciding what the state will do next.
“There are those who believed that this was a challenge that could go to the Supreme Court," Stenehjem said. "Whether or not that's likely is something we need to confer about."

Pistorius defense attempts to rebuild his case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius' lawyers tried to roll back the prosecution's momentum at his murder trial Wednesday following the star athlete's shaky testimony, presenting a forensic expert who quickly found his own credentials and findings sharply questioned.
With Pistorius now back watching the proceedings from a wooden bench, the double-amputee Olympian's defense team was attempting to bolster his account that he shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by mistake through a toilet door in his home, thinking she was a dangerous intruder about to attack him in the night. Pistorius faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of premeditated murder in Steenkamp's death in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year.
"it's something you see on TV."
But former police officer Roger Dixon, testifying for the defense, also appeared unsteady as chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel warned him that it was irresponsible to "try and be an expert" in areas he was not. Nel asserted in his cross-examination that Dixon was not an expert in light, sound, ballistics, gunshot wounds or pathology — all areas about which he was testifying.
Oscar Pistorius, center, shares a hug with unidentified woman as he leaves the high court in Pretoria, South Africa, on Wednesday. Pistorius is charged with murder for the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentines Day in 2013.
Earlier, the judge ruled that proceedings will adjourn for more than two weeks after Thursday because a member of the prosecution team has another case to attend to. The trial will resume on May 5.
GERRIE NELL Chief prosecutor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dixon worked at the police forensic laboratory in Pretoria until he left the force in December 2012. He was a specialist in analyzing materials at crime scenes. He now works in the geology department at the University of Pretoria.
During the cross-examination, Nel showed that Dixon's findings regarding Steenkamp's gunshot wounds came from analysis of autopsy photos and from a pathologist's report because he was not present at the autopsy. He also hadn't read parts of the pathology report, Nel charged.
the energetic prosecutor to "restrain" himself.
Nel also accused him of not answering questions directly. "For an expert you are evasive," Nel said, prompting the judge at one point to tell
The prosecutor also criticized Dixon for not bringing photographs and his written reports with him and abruptly told him to bring them on Thursday.
"I said I will," Dixon snapped back.
"Good," Nel responded.
Nel ridiculed Dixon's finding about the sequence of the shots that Pistorius fired at Steenkamp through the door, testimony which contradicted that of a police ballistics expert and state pathologist Prof. Gert Saayman.
"I use the word 'finding' very loosely," Nel said wryly of Dixon's theory.
Questioned by defense lawyer Barry Roux, Dixon said he believed Steenkamp was hit in the hip and the
arm in quick succession by the first two of four shots while she was standing close to the toilet door. Raising his right arm in the courtroom, Dixon indicated he believed Steenkamp may have had her right arm extended and maybe her hand on the door handle, as if she was about to open the door through which she was shot.
The defense was using his testimony to try to cast doubt on the prosecution's account that Steenkamp fled to the toilet and was hiding there during a fight with Pistorius. Nel has said that the runner intentionally shot Steenkamp through the door as she faced him and while they were arguing.
Nel mocked what he said was a suggestion by Dixon that Steenkamp was knocked backward by one of the bullets.
"It's something you see on TV." Nel said dismissively, challenging the expert to find scientific literature that showed it was possible.
Nel also pounced on Dixon's concession that an audio test that the defense conducted to compare the sounds of gunshots to those of a cricket bat hitting a wood door — which both happened on the night of the killing — had to be done a second time because of problems with the first.
He even asked him if he was an expert at swinging a cricket bat, a cutting reference to his hitting a bat on a wood door in the defense's audio tests at a gun range.
Dixon had also said he took part in the audio tests that showed the sounds of gunshots and of a cricket bat hitting a wood door were similar and could be confused. That is important because several neighbors have testified that
they heard Steenkamp scream before shots on the fatal night, backing the prosecution's case that there was a fight before Pistorius shot his girlfriend with his 9 mm pistol.
Pistorius' defense says the witnesses are mistaking the sequence and they heard
Pistorius screaming in a high-pitched voice for help before breaking the toilet door open with his bat to get to Steenkamp. When played by Pistorius' lawyers in courts, the two noises were similar.
But questioned by Nel, Dixon said the tests had to
be repeated and that they were recorded and edited by a music producer who had no experience in recording gunshots.
"I have no idea on the expertise of the person who recorded the sounds," Dixon said.

Kansas to host Texas Tech
Kansas looks to sweep Texas Tech for two seasons in a row, and increase its four-game winning streak. Kansas has won the last four games against the Red Raiders over the last two seasons.
After a nine-day rest from competition, Kansas softball is back up and playing again. The Jayhawks host Texas Tech April 17-19 at Arrocha Ballpark. First pitch on Thursday is scheduled for 5 p.m.
The Jayhawks will be helped by junior pitcher Alicia Pille, who was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday. She has six shutouts under her belt and one no-hitter on the season.
Kansas has won a conference award for five straight weeks, which breaks the University record for conference weekly honors in a single season. Play starts at 5 p.m. on Friday and 1 p.m. on Saturday, both at Arrocha Ballpark.

Sharper challenges evidence and his no-bail status in rape case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — A judge in Phoenix will hold a hearing Wednesday in which lawyers for former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper will challenge the evidence used to keep him in jail without bail on charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted two women in Arizona.
The hearing before Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Warren Granville marks the latest development in several ongoing sexual assault investigations involving Sharper, 38, in Louisiana, California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada.
He was previously released
from jail in a rape case in California on $1 million bail, but was denied bail in the Arizona case.
Sharper will not attend Wednesday's hearing.
Sharper, 38, was indicted in Arizona last month on charges of sexual assault and administering dangerous drugs. He is accused of giving the sedative zolpidem to three women and then had "sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact" with two of them without their consent on Nov. 21 at an apartment in Tempe.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sharper has not yet entered a plea in the Arizona case, although one of his attorneys said Sharper will deny those allegations.
NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper appears on Monday, March 24, 2014, in Los Angeles Superior Court in Los Angeles. The judge has again refused to release Sharper from jail. Sharper is awaiting trial in Los Angeles after pleading not guilty to charges that he raped and drugged two women last year. He was previously released on $1 million bail before being charged in Arizona with similar counts.

Tanaka cools Cubs' bats in Yankees' 3-0 win

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago Cubs catcher John Baker catches the late throw as New York Yankees' Brian McCann scores on Dean Anna's fourth-inning sacrifice fly in Game 1 of an interleague baseball doubleheader at Yankee Stadium in New York on Wednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Masahiro Tanaka allowed two bunt hits in eight dominant innings on a frigid Monday, Carlos Beltran homered for the third straight game and New York welcomed the Chicago Cubs to the current Yankee Stadium with a 3-0 victory in the opener of Monday's day-night doubleheader.
The 25-year-old Japanese right-hander struck out 10 for his second straight start, this time while wearing three-quarter sleeves on a 43-degree day that felt much colder because of a brisk wind. Tanaka (2-0) gave up a replay-aided hit to Junior Lake in the second inning and Anthom
Rizzo pushed a bunt toward a vacated third base with a shifted infield leading off the seventh.
Tanaka threw 107 pitches, and Shawn Kelley allowed a single to Rizzo as he finished the three-hitter for his fourth save.
Dean Anna had a sacrifice fly and Jacoby Ellsbury added an RBI tap-out against Jason Hammel (2-1) in Chicago's first regular-season game in the ballpark, which opened in 2009.
The Cubs have yet to win in the Bronx. They were swept in the 1932 and '38 World Series and lost all three-games in 2005, their only interleague series in New York.
with Tuesday's rainout
postponing Jackie Robinson Day festivities, the Yankees planned to unveil a plaque honoring Nelson Mandela before the nightcap. Players from both teams were to wear No. 42, and Michael Pineda was set to make his first start for New York since he was spotted with a mysterious brown substance on his hand Thursday against Boston. Travis Wood was slated to start for Chicago.
After an overnight storm, the grounds crew used blowers to melt the ice on the tarp before removing the covering from the infield. Snow still covered the grass in right field while the Cubs took batting practice and many players wore ski caps.
But it wasn't too cold for Beltran. He connected on a 1-1 changeup from Hammel with one out in the first. Anna started again at shortstop for Derek Jeter and drove in his run with a fly to left field in the fourth. Jeter missed three games with a tight quadriceps but manager Joe Girardi said the captain would start the second game.
The Yankees added a run in the fifth when Junior Lake lost Brett Gardner's liner to left in the sun for a double. After Gardner advanced on Beltran's groundout, Ellsbury's bat made contact with catcher John Baker's glove before dunking a ball in front of the mound.

Kansas State gives Weber 1-year contract extension
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State basketball coach Bruce Weber has received a one-year contract extension through the 2018-19 school year after leading the Wildcats to 47 wins in his first two seasons, the most victories by any coach in his first two years in school history.
Kansas State athletic director John Currie announced the extension Wednesday, citing Weber's 47-21 record since taking the helm in March 2012, including two straight NCAA tournament appearances. Lon Kruger is the only other Wildcats coach to have led the team to NCAA appearances in his first two seasons.

building a successful program is continuity, and this type of commitment ensures that we have all the parts necessary to continue to build upon what we have accomplished the last two seasons," Weber said in a statement.
Weber will be paid $2.25 million during the extension year. If Weber stays through the end of his contract, he will also receive a $500,000 retention bonus, Currie said, adding that salaries for Weber's assistant coaches also will
The K-State Athletics Inc. Board of Directors unanimously approved the extension.
Weber led Kansas State to a 20-13 record last season and a berth in the NCAA tournament, where the
Wildcats lost to Kentucky in the second round.
in his first season, Weber led Kansas State to one of the best seasons in school history with a 27-8 record and a share of its first conference championship in 36 seasons. The 27 wins were the school's second-most in a single season and gave the Wildcats only the fifth season of at least 25 wins. Weber was named Big 12 Coach of the Year that season.
I will be there.
"Our men's basketball program continues to make terrific progress under Coach Weber and his staff since their arrival." Currie said. "I am excited about the future of our program and forward trajectory under his leadership."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubts. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits."
— Michael Phelps (His book No Limits)

Michael Phelps returns from retirement
Yahoo Sports
The legend is back. It's-not going to be like the past Olympics, but regardless, Michael Phelps
T
is back.
On Monday an announcement was released stating that Phelps was re-entering competition, after he had been retired from swimming for over a year. The announcement didn't surprise some, as Phelps had entered the drug testing pool back in November.
Don't expect him to be winning every race by leaps and bounds, though. He's not going to be in every race. Bob Bowman, Phelps' coach, said that Phelps will be focusing on three events: the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyles and the 100-meter butterfly.
"I think he's just going to test the waters a little bit and see how it goes," Bowman said. "I wouldn't say it's a full-fledged comeback."
He's also "pretty far" from being in his best shape, but that's not going to stop him from hopping back in the pool.
By Amie Just
sports@kansan.com
"He's gotten back into good shape since September," Bowman said. "He can give a good effort and certainly not be embarrassed. He's in enough shape to swim competitively."
His first meet since the 2012 Olympic Games will be on April 24-26 in Mesa, Ariz. On the first day he'll swim the 100 free and 100 fly preliminaries. If he qualifies for finals he'll swim one event there, even if he qualifies for both events. Then he's swimming the 50 free on the second day of competition and could possibly swim the 50 fly "just for fun," Bowman said.
His return alone, regardless of the
events he's competing in and the shape that he's in, is sparking excitement from all around the swimming community.
Former Olympic swimmer and NBC commentator Rowdy Gaines said he was "overjoyed" by Phelps' return to swimming.
THE BREW
and I came back. Michael misses the limelight. He misses making an impact. Swimming is in his DNA, so why not come back?"
"He's our Babe Ruth, our Michael Jordan," Gaines said. "When I retired in 1981, I meant it. But I realized it was something I loved
Who knows how far Phelps' return will take him. He may compete

pics.
Whether he wins or loses, it doesn't matter," Gaines said. "He'll never be better at anything in his life than he is at swimming fast. He's younger than
LeBron James. Should we tell James to retire because he finished on top last year? It's like asking a master woodworker
to stop his craft because his last piece was perfect."

COMMENTARY KU sports bucket list before graduation
If you're a senior here at the University, your time is running out like there's 30 minutes till close at the Hawk and you're still flying solo in the Boom Boom Room.
It's time to get spontaneous and soak in your last few days in Lawrence. Fortunately for you, there's still a little bit of time and plenty happening in the sports world to fill in those lazy afternoons of avoiding the inevitable.
Go watch shot put downtown: Every year, downtown Lawrence hosts the shot put during the Kansas relays. You can even go today. It's a spectacle worth watching.
You can fill this time starting today. Here's a list of ways to spend your time until you walk through the Campanile:
By Mike Vernon sports@kansan.com
Spend an afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark: On a sunny weekend day, go check out the Jayhawks at Hoglund Ballpark. Buy some peanuts or sneak them in, either way you're sure to have a good time watching Kansas baseball.
Grab a Wangburger at the Wheel: It's Friday afternoon and the weekend has arrived. Walk from campus down 14th street where you can grab a Wangburger and beer while soaking in a true KU atmosphere. Look at the famous faces on the walls and put a dollar into the jukebox to pick three songs that were likely made before you were born.
Walk through the Booth Family Hall of Athletics: Take advantage of the fact that the Booth Family Hall of Athletics is open during the day. Walk through its halls and look at a basketball with laces on it. Gaze at the Championship rings and trophies.
It's the perfect place to reflect on your four or five or maybe even six years in Lawrence. Go with your friends and relish in the fact that you've made it. You've made it through the emotions. The bad tests. The stress. The all nighters. They're done.
Visit the graves: Take a short drive to the grave sites commemorating the lives of James Naismith and Phog Allen. Take a moment to look around and realize how big of an impact these Jayhawks had on modern athletics and this world that consumes them.
Now it's time to celebrate.

Michael Phelps returns from retirement

Try to take a look at Allen Fieldhouse when it's empty:
While you're at the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, see if you can sneak a peek at the empty basketball gym you've come to know and love in your time here. Walk onto the court if you can. Look at the banners and years and names that line the ceiling. Remember all of the fun you had in the student section.
Sit on the top of Mt. Oread and gaze into Memorial Stadium: OK, so you probably didn't spend much time here at all, but that doesn't mean the view isn't nice.

Hander proves himself against Antelopes
SHANE JACKSON
sports@kansan.com
Jon Hander walked off the mound after seven innings on the mound, eyes glued toward the dugout where he would be greeted with smiles by his teammates. Several Jayhawks lined up to fist bump the right-handed freshman, congratulating him on his first collegiate win, a 7-1 victory against Grand Canyon, to split the midweek series.
"It feels good. I just trusted my defense. I just went out and threw with no fear, and didn't worry about missing one or two spots," Hander said.
KANSAS
As the Jayhawks fifth starter, the freshman out of Sioux Falls, S.D., doesn't see a lot of time as a starter. Hander only starts in two-game midweek sets like the one against Grand Canyon. Because of this, Hander was making just his third start, first in the confines of Hoglund Ballpark, in his young Jayhawk career.
"It was real nice. It's a great mound and great place to be. It feels good to pitch at home," Hander said.
Coming into Wednesday night's contest, Hander had a 0-1 record, tossing just 13 innings in five appearances on the mound.
Shortstop Justin Protocio fields a hard hit ground ball up the middle and throws to first for the out. The Jayhawks defeated the Antelopees 7-1 on Wednesday after a Great Canyon victory of 5-3 on Tuesday.
Making his Hoglund debut, the freshman 6-foot-2 seemed to have more confidence than in his prior two starts.
Hander tossed a total of 78 pitches, going seven innings deep and allowing only one run off five hits.
"He's been really good in his first two starts, but when he runs up to about 60 pitches, he runs into the wall. To see him push it into the seventh tonight, I thought was a huge step for him," Coach Ritch Price said.
"As good as he has thrown the ball, it's a possibility he could move into the Tuesday spot."
RITCH PRICE Basball coach
The lone mistake the freshman made was a leadoff double in the fifth to Grand Canyon freshman catcher Josh Meyer, who would be brought home on a sac飞 to right.
The freshman did not walk a single Antelope, keeping the base paths clear for a majority of the night. Hander struck out four batters, two in a row to start the game off. Hander showed his ability to handle pressure situations. Time and time again the freshman regained his composure after giving up a base hit.
He allowed his first hit in the second, before getting the next batter to ground out into an inning-ending double play. In the third he allowed a two-out single, but sat down the next guy he saw with a strikeout.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
It helped that Hander dealt the entire game with a commanding lead. The Jayhawks scored five runs off just three hits in the first inning after drawing three straight walks to start off the game.
"That's what you have to do, if someone sets the table up for you like that", Price said.
Kansas tacked on two more insurance runs, one in the fifth when junior designated hitter Dakota Smith ripped an RBI single to score sophomore second baseman Colby Wright. Junior left fielder Michael Suiter was brought home after a leadoff double in the sixth, the third of the game, to make it 7-1.
the road against Oklahoma State.
Jayhawks move to 3-6 in midweek matchups, and after the phenomenal start by the freshman, Price may consider pitching more of Hander in those midweek games.
Kansas will look to carry its momentum into a big conference weekend series on
"As good as he has thrown the ball, it's a possibility he could move into the Tuesday spot," Price said.
"We are going to have to continue to swing the bats well if we want to come away with a series win against a pitching staff like Oklahoma
State," said senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge.

Kansas Relays kick off at Rock Chalk Park
UCS UCS
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
The Kansas Relays are in full swing and athletes will continue to compete until Saturday, April 19. Events today begin with the decathlon, 110-me-ter hurdles, heptathlon and long jump. The athletes will finish up the day with the 10,000 meters.
The 87th annual Kansas Relays began yesterday at the brand new Rock Chalk Park with the beginning legs of the combined events: the decathlon and heptathlon. The only Jayhawk athlete in action yesterday, sophomore Mercedes Smith, enters today in third place after the first four events of the seven-event heptathlon, with a combined score of 2,778. The leaders of the two events entering today are Nebraska's Guy Fenske, with a 3,666 point total after the first five events of the ten-event decathlon, and Truman's Rebecca Nelson, who leads the heptathlon with 3,042 points.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Smith, in her first career heptathlon, was able to tally personal bests in two of yes;erday's four events to get her into the third place spot. Entering the high jump in third place after the first event, Smith was able to clear the bar set at $5^{\prime}1.25^{\prime}$ for her career-best mark in the high jump, allowing her to remain in third place heading into the final two legs of the heptathlon.
In the final event of the day, the 200 meters, Smith grabbed her second personal record of the meet so far, clocking in at 24.97 to beat the rest of the field by over a second. The 890 points Smith gained from this event contributed greatly to her 2,778 point total, which set her up nicely to make some moves in the final three
events today.
a discus throw of 52.25 meters (1748 "), which made her the No. 4 performer in school history. Today, she will look to have similar success, but this time in the hammer throw competition, which is slotted to begin around 2:45 p.m.
Junior Lindsay Vollmer, the school record-holder in the heptathlon, chose to forgo the heptathlon this week because she already qualified for nationals in the event three weeks ago at the Texas Relays. Instead, Vollmer will look to get in a little extra practice this weekend, as she is slotted to compete in the 1600-meter hurdles and the high jump,
Smith will have 21 other Jayhawk athletes join her in competition today, as 12 additional events will begin. Besides Smith, one athlete to keep an eye on tomorrow will be sophomore thrower Dasha Tsema, who got her outdoor season off to a good start at the Texas Relays, with

WILDCAT 14
After defeating Texas Tech on Senior Night, March 5, the Kansas Jayhawks were joined by the 10 consecutive Big 12 Championship trophies they own. Kansas needs three more to tie UCLA for the most consecutive conference titles.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Fans should enjoy the success before it's gone
Sometimes in the near future, the following time will come:
When it began it seemed impossible. For it to end is ust as shocking.
Finally, in 20? the Kansas basketball program didn't win the Big 12 championship. The Jayhawks' remarkable run is over. Year after year of conference championships and now, nothing. A blemish on the yearly banner raised in Allen Fieldhouse.
Instead of blaming the players or Bill Self, let's try something different. Let's try remembering and celebrating the golden age of Kansas basketball that included a decade where the Big 12 Trophy lived in Lawrence. Let's remember how this all
By Mike Vernon sports@kansan.com
Let's remember how this all
started, with an Oklahoma State basketball player on the back end of the 2004-2005 season.
Not Bill Self.
Title No. 1 started with John Lucas III. The Cowboys came to Lawrence for one of those legendary games, one that still has a place in the pregame video all these years later. The winner would take a one-game lead in Big 12 play and could control its own destiny.
Lucas had only missed one shot all game when he took a
three at the buzzer to defeat the Jayhawks and take a one-game lead in Big 12 play. Instead, he missed and the streak was conceived.
The next year was a brand new team. Bill Self started his first year with a true crop of his own players. Names like Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and Julian Wright were freshmen. The Jayhawks started the year with a 4-4 record. They weren't ranked in the top 25 until February. Still, Self corralled his team to somehow win a share of the conference title.
The true dynasty, the real year that established Kansas and Bill Self as a power, came in 2006-2007. The pieces from the young team one year before stuck around. Sherron
Collins and Darrell Arthur joined the group and Self had a top-10 team in Lawrence.
We all know what happened the following year: 2008, Mario's Miracle. A championship for the first time in 20 years.
Surely the drop-off would've come after that. Blake Griffin was a Sooner and Kansas lost all five of its starters. Somehow Self and Sherron Collins still bested the conference for consecutive title No. 5.
The story continued from there. Kansas won again and again and again. Over and over the Jayhawks won their conference championship.
There was 2012, when Self warned fans of a rebuilding year before the season
started. That team went to the National Championship game.
Somewhere along the way, Kansas fans started to change. In 2014, after that 10th consecutive championship, fans moaned after an unsatisfactory tournament performance. The offseason was filled with rumors and complaints. Expectations were too high and eventually that pressure got to the Jayhawks. It was too much.
So instead of weeping or panicking or going to message boards and Twitter to complain, just sit back and remember how good you had it.
Remember the players like Wayne Simien, Jeff Hawkins and Christian Moody who
kept the program afloat when it could have fallen in the mid-2000s. Or the Morris Twins, Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar, who all won an absurd amount of games in their years wearing crimson and blue. There was Jeff Withey, Travis Releford and Tyshawn Taylor. Names like Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embid are NBA studs now, but back then, they were developing and learning on James Naismith Court, all the while winning a conference championship.
Now that the streak is over, soak in how great it was for you.
After all, this day was inevitable.

1. ROCK CHALK CHAMPIONS
Down by nine with less than two minutes to go, Kansas didn't appear to have much hope. But timely Kansas jumpers and missed free throws by Memphis opened the door for one of the greatest shots in NCAA Tournament history. With three seconds left, Mario Chalmers hit a game-tying 3-pointer to send the game to overtime, which Kansas dominated en route to its first national championship in 20 years. Kansas proved to be the best team in a loaded Final Four field, which included all No.1 seeds for the first time in NCAA Tournament history.
Traditions abound and energy is always palpable in Allen Fieldhouse, especially from the student section. On Feb. 24 the raucous cheers of the famous student section filled the court as they watched their senior Jayhawks leave James Naismith court for the last time.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
2. KANSAS CLINCHES A DECADE OF DOMINANCE - 2014
3. UNLIKELY RUN TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - 20
In what was widely considered the best conference in the country this season, the Jayhawks won the league title with little late-season drama. On Feb. 24, Kansas defeated the Oklahoma Sooners and clinched at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title and did so with three games to go in the regular season. After securing the title outright on March 1, Kansas would go on to celebrate at home on Senior Night on March 5 against Texas Tech, a celebration that included a presentation of each Big 12 trophy from the past 10 years. Only two other schools have won more than 10 consecutive regular season conference titles (UCLA with 13 and Gonzaga with 11).
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - 2012 In what was supposed to be a down year, Kansas quickly became a legitimate national title contender behind the leadership of Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson. Jeff Withey and Travis Releford emerged as
two of the best defensive players in the conference, while Elijah Johnson proved to be a capable compatriot to Taylor. The Jayhawks held off an impressive Missouri team during the regular season to capture its eighth straight regular season conference title. Earning a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, Kansas survived early scares in the Round of 32 and Sweet 16 and defeated North Carolina in the Elite Eight to make the Final Four for the first time since 2008. Kansas defeated Ohio State in the national semifinals but would fall to a loaded Kentucky team in the National Championship. This was a team that exceeded everyone's expectations.
4. KANSAS COMPLETES
COMEBACK IN LAST GAME VS.
MIZZOU AS CONFERENCE FOES
- 2012
With the Missouri Tigers heading to the Southeastern Conference after the season, the stage was set for the Border War rivals to play their last Big 12 game against each other. To add to the drama, both teams were ranked in the top five and stood atop the Big 12 standings. Played in Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks overcame a 19-point second-half deficit behind four 3-pointers by Conner Teahan and late game heroics from Taylor and Robinson. The Jayhawks would go on to win by one in overtime, as the Tigers failed to get a shot off on their last possession.
5. BILL SELF VS. ROY WILLIAMS - 2008
Before facing Memphis in the championship game, Kansas had played perhaps its best game of the season against the North Carolina Tarheels, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. North Carolina was 36-2 going into the game
and was picked by many to win the championship. That didn't seem to affect the Jayhawks as they dominated out of the gates and led 40-12 in the first half. North Carolina cut the lead to four, but Kansas made timely baskets and held on to win 84-66. The game featured a clash between coaches Bill Self and Roy Williams, who coached at Kansas from 1988-2003.
6. JAYHAWKS OVERCOME
DURANT, TEXAS IN BIG 12
TOURNAMENT FINAL - 2007
Facing who would become a dominating player in the NBA, Kansas played one of the most entertaining Big 12 Tournament games in recent memory against Kevin Durant and the Texas Longhorns. The Jayhawks faced a 22-point first-half deficit, but would cut the Longhorn lead to five by halftime. The game went into overtime, where Kansas made key free throws late to seal the four-point victory and earn its fifth Big 12 Tournament Championship. Four Jayhawks finished with at least 17 points,
led by freshman Sherron Collins' 20.
7. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE STREAKS
7. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE STREAKS One of the most impressive statistics that has come up regarding Kansas' title streak is that Bill Self has more conference titles (10) than home losses (9). Named the most intimidating and loudest arena in college basketball, Allen Fieldhouse has hosted some impressive streaks over the past decade. From 2007-11, Kansas won 69 consecutive games at Allen Fieldhouse. In addition, Kansas won 68 straight non-conference games at the fieldhouse from 2006-2014.
5. NO RETURNING STARTERS, NO PROBLEM
During Kansas' conference title streak, Kansas won three Big 12 titles (2005-06, 2008-09, 2013-14) without a returning starter. In the 2005-06 season, freshmen Brandon Rush, Julian Wright and Chalmers led the Jayhawks to a 25-8 record, which also included a Big 12
Tournament Championship. With everyone gone from the starting five of the National Championship team, Collins and Cole Aldrich transitioned from bench players to two of the best players in the Big 12 in the 2008-09 season. This season, Kansas boasted the second-best recruiting class in the country, including Andrew Wiggins, the unanimous number one recruit in the nation.
9. BLOCK PARTY
Some dominant players have manned the paint for Kansas in the last five years, notably Aldrich, Withey and Joel Embiid. All three of these players were skilled shot blockers who also contributed on the offensive end. Each player has earned the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year award (Aldrich has two), and each player made a name for himself in the Kansas record books. Aldrich recorded the first official triple-double (13 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocks) in Kansas history in
the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. Withey recorded Kansas' second official triple-double three years later and also set the Kansas record for blocks in a game in the process (16 points, 12 rebounds and 12 blocks). Embid's eight blocks against Oklahoma State set a Kansas record for a freshman.
10. WAYNE SIMIEN'S SENIOR NIGHT - 2005
Simien averaged 15 points and 8.3 rebounds in his Kansas career and led Kansas to two Final Four Trips in 2002 and 2003. One of the best games of his career came on Senior Night, when he scored 25 points and grabbed a careerhigh 20 rebounds in his last game in Allen Fieldhouse against the Kansas State Wildcats. The win also clinched the Big 12 regular season title for Kansas and marked the first of the 10-consecutive regular season conference titles.

College basketball sounds off on 10 straight
"From here on forward all we have to say is '10,' and everyone in the country knows what we're talking about." - Sheahon Zenger, Kansas Athletic Director
"Yes, what Self did this season win the Big 12 is what Self does every season. I know you're used to it and, at this point, I know you expect it. But the fact that Self makes it look easy doesn't mean that it is, you know, easy, and I'll stand by that statement forever unless you can hit me with a long list of coaches who have A) won 10 consecutive league titles, or B) done it three times without a single returning starter." - Gary Parrish, CBS Sports Columnist
"Even by the high standards of a team whose rosters have featured Wilt Chamberlain and Coach James Naismith, who invented the sport, the current run under Self is historic." - Ben Cohen, Wall Street Journal
"At this point, you could probably give Bill Self the Jamaican bobsled team and a month of practice time and he'd still find a way to win the Big 12." - Mark Titus, Grantland.com
"This team, like almost every one Self has coached in Lawrence, was expected to win the title once Andrew Wiggins signed on. But there's a difference between expecta tions and achievement in most places. Just not at Kansas." - C.J. Moore, Bleacher Report
"When Self started this run at Kansas, it was the beginning of the end for Quin Snyder at Mizzou, Jim Wooldridge was treading water at K-State, and Colorado and Baylor were the league walkovers. Over that span, The Streak has endured 20 coaching changes, four Big 12 defections and two league additions. That's staying power. That's a dynasty." - Sean Keeler, Fox Sports
"Nothing in college basketball is more impressive than Bill Self winning 10 Big 12 titles in a row."- Kim English, former University of Missouri Point Guard
"There may have been some NCAA tournament upsets along the way, and some have been more dramatic than others, but in the biggest sample sizes, against some of the best college hoops talent of the past decade, Self's Kansas program has prevailed. It's a ridiculous, mind-blowing run of success, and we don't talk about it enough." - Eamonn Brannan, ESPN

Jayhawks clinch 10th consecutive Big 12 title

BLAKE SCHUSTER sports@kansan.com
Senior Naadir Tharpe wears a big smile before Kansas' game against Oklahoma on Feb. 24. After the game he'd also have plenty to smile about, scoring 19 points and helping Kansas clinch its 10th straight Big 12 title.
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON
2/25/14
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
"10 Straight! 10 Straight! 10 Straight!"
After the heroics, after the final buzer and after the handshakes, Naadir Tharpe stood alone at center court, conducting a chorus of 16,300 fans who wouldn't leave the building until he did.
Each verse decreased the tension that had built up over the previous 40 minutes. Each verse got louder and louder as the screams sunk into reality.
No. 5 Kansas 83, Oklahoma 75 and a decade of Big 12 championships solidified.
There was no way Tharpe could just walk away from it. Not after knocking down 10 of the Jayhawks' last 14 points. Not with the entire building roaring.
"Usually we're on the road," Tharpe said of clinching the title. "To hear the crowd and see all the fans is just a beautiful feeling."
"That was a no-energy, tired team out there," Kansas coach Bill Seid said after the six lead change affair.
Playing at home, the Jayhawks had a rambunctious crowd behind them, willing the team to any sliver of a lead and hoping it could hold it.
Even if the Sooners weren't playing for a Big 12 title, it didn't mean they wouldn't try to stop Kansas from earning another.
The Sooners were unrelenting, making the types of plays that allowed them to stay in a game they otherwise had no business being in. The free throws kept falling (15 for 20), the paint was fair game (26 points) and the Kansas fouls kept piling up (21).
Of course, the Jayhawks have been forced to grind out clinching games before. In 2011, Kansas shot just 43 percent from the field and committed 26 fouls against Missouri en route to its seventh straight title.
It's also what the Jayhawks wanted. It's what they've harped on all year.
No pressure, no diamonds.
No pressure, no diamonds. The pressure was real and the diamonds were waiting. No one was going to hand
them over with four games to play. So with three minutes remaining in regulation and Kansas clinging to a threepoint lead, Tharpe went out there and took them.
He forced his way into the lane and danced around defenders until he was sure he had a shot. And when Oklahoma frantically fouled with time running out, it was Tharpe stepping up to the line and hitting each free throw (6 for 6).
"I think the last 10 minutes of the game that's as good as Naadar has played at KU," Self said. "He closed games the way point guards are supposed to."
And like point guards are supposed to, Tharpe made his teammates more of a threat than himself.
Each Kansas starter finished with at least 11 points. Tharpe led the way with 19 points, 14 of which came in the second half while he played with two fouls.
"The lane was open so I just tried to be aggressive and make plays." Tharpe said.
After the game ended, Tharpe was as open as he'd ever been, exposed to the Kansas crowd at center court and relishing a moment that's not guaranteed to happen again.
When he finally trotted back to the locker room, the rings weren't waiting. There was no trophy. There was no celebration. Assistant coach Jerrance Howard was
permitted a dance, but that was about it.
"I told our players we will celebrate whenever we win it," Self said. "Right now all we have done is tie."
Self was too busy with his postgame interview to even notice Tharpe stealing a celebration. If Kansas can win at Oklahoma State on Saturday the Jayhawks can finally dance together.

Marip Chalmers displays his piece of the net after winning the National Championship game in 2008. The Jayhawks defeated Memphis 75-68 after Chalmers hit a 3-pointer, sending the game into overtime.
Jayhawks win in overtime to earn NCAA title
ORIGINALLY RAN ON 4/7/08
ORBITBALL KAN DN 4/17/06
Mario Chalmers could dance now, now that his name had been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books.
MARK DENT
sports@kansan.com
He moved his hips to "Celebrate" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship.
That's right - national championship. Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in overtime on Monday night at the Alamodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-
Chalmers' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbed to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball.
Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long enough. Collins found him. Trailing 63-60, Chalmers shot
point deficit.
a three near the top of the key. Overtime.
"God, we competed hard," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did."
The game should've been finished long before that play. The Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when they missed five of six free throws that would've iceed the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas.
Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it.
"I just knew we had the game after that," Arthur said.
impaulsible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. He was ready to put himself at the top of the list of Jayhawk Final Four villains right up there with Carmelo Anthony, Juan Dixon and Grant Hill. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis.
A happy ending seemed
"God, we competed hard. It's one thing to win.It's another thing to win the way these guys did."
BILLS SELF Kansas coach
Self said those exact words to his team. Chalmers used Self's message and the memories from last season's comeback victories against Texas to motivate him.
Arthur took the inspirational words to heart as well. It was no surprise to see Chalms take over in the clutch. Arthur was more of an unexpected hero.
saying believe."
Kansas has known all season it plays superior ball when Arthur is active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often.
In the tournament, Arthur's inconsistency got even worse. The one they call Shady reverted to his mindbogglingly inconsistent ways throughout the postseason, disappearing in every game.
Monday night he was a changed man. Arthur scored two big baskets toward the end of regulation and got another one in overtime. He finished with 20 points. Arthur had played his best game in the biggest game of his life.
It's something he'll never forget, something all of the Jayhawks will never forget. They battled through adversity after two losses in three games
in late February and didn't lose the rest of the way.
The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked like Memphis would cut down the nets.
He couldn't miss if he tried.
Really. Rose fired a long off-balance jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in.
The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left.
After all the dancing, highfiving and screaming stopped. Robinson sat in the back of a golf cart with his head in his arms and a net around his neck, thinking about the accomplishment.
"You couldn't really have written it any better," Robinson said. "No way you could've written it better."
Now, they're champions. They'll go down as one of the best teams in Kansas history. It's something Russell Robinson has hoped for since the season started.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
ALL DECADE TEAMS
Kansan basketball writers name their KU all-star teams
BLAIR SHEADE
sports@kansan.com
This All-Decade roster has players suited to each other's strengths and weaknesses on both offense and defense.
On offense, the backcourt and frontcourt would have played specific roles. Point guard Mario Chalmers would have run the offense because he averaged less than two turnovers per game and always had a calm demeanor. Shooting guard Brandon Rush could have spotted up around the perimeter to spread the floor for small forward Andrew Wiggins to attack the basket. Wayne Simien had his mid-range jumper
to complement Jeff Withey's knack to attack the post and the offensive boards.
The backcourt defense would have been just as good as its offense. Chalmers, who was part of the 2008 Big 12 Conference All-Defensive team, averaged just under three steals per game. Coach Self said that Brandon Rush was the best on-ball defender to play for him while at Kansas, and Wiggins always guarded the opponent's best offensive player. That's hard to compete against.
The frontcourt of Simien and Withey would have been dominate on defense, too. Withey, the two-time Big 12 Conference defensive player
of the year and all-time KU shot-block leader, would have anchored the team's defense. Simien was athletic enough to guard hybrid forwards away from the basket.

The first three times I made this roster I couldn't find a spot for one of the Morrii. It seems like it should be easy enough, both played huge roles on wildly successful Kansas teams, but it didn't seem like either would fit here. How do you turn away Joel Embiid? How do you leave off Wayne Simien? Thomas Robinson is an All-American, surely he's secured his spot. Do you really need Jeff Withey?
The problem was that Embiid didn't have the experience. Not that he couldn't have done it, too, but with the production of
the Morris twins over multiple years, along with their physical presence, Embid just got beat out of the lineup. If Withey's offense didn't progress as much as it did his senior year, this isn't even a conversation. Marcus Morris was just a better college player over a longer stretch of time.
for this offense is a point guard who can distribute the ball. Aaron Miles' scoring ability doesn't matter as much as the fact he recorded more than 200 assists all four seasons he played for Kansas.
STARTERS:
And it wasn't until I found a spot for Marcus that I realized there wasn't one for Sherron Collins. It seems absurd that Collins doesn't make this team, and really there are a lot more cases for him to be on here than not. But with scorers like Wayne Simien, Andrew Wiggins, Ben McLemore and Brandon Rush, the best thing

One of the best offensive players in the Self era, Collins averaged almost 18 points and five assists in his last two seasons. Chalmers and Rush are lock-down defenders who can also shoot from long range. Simien is a terrific scorer and rebounder, and Withey gets the edge over Embiid because he is less injury-prone. (Disclaimer: This is based off of their time at KU and not who I would want
for the future.)
Miles is the all-time assists leader at Kansas and was also a defensive force averaging nearly two steals per game in his career. McLemore is one of the best shooters Self has coached while Wiggins is the highest-scoring freshman in Kansas history (the thing keeping him from starting is his tendency to no-show in certain games). Robinson is a beast down low and one of the toughest players coached under Self. Embiid is a great
rim protector whose offensive game is improving by the day.

Streak has good chance of reaching 11 next season

Will another decade of dominance begin next year?
With another strong recruiting class and a slew of returners, Kansas has to feel good about its chances next season to continue its reign of terror in the Big 12.
According to rivals.com, Kansas currently boasts the No. 5 recruiting class in the nation, and that comes one year after boasting the second-best class. As of April 16, Bill Self has only signed two players, but both are dynamic athletes expected to start right away.
Ranked as the No.4 prospect by rival- com, Cliff Alexander will bring much needed toughness and physicality to a Kansas team that lacked it at critical times this season. Standing at 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot-3 wingspan, Alexander's long arms create havoc down low for opponents. He should lead the Jayhawks — and potentially the Big 12 — in rebounding next season and is also an effective shot blocker.
Not far behind in the rankings at No. 12, Kelly Oubre will be counted on to fill the void left by Andrew Wiggins at the small forward position. With a similar size at 6-foot-7, Oubre is a better shooter than Wiggins and is also capable of attacking the rim. His offensive prowess will be a much-needed boost to a Kansas offense that stalled at times this season, most notably in the Round of 32 loss to Stanford.
As the team stands now, Kansas is ranked as a top- 10 team by multiple college basketball analysts, including No.2 by CBS Sports College
Basketball Insider Jon Rothstein. But its stock can improve even more as the Jayhawks are in the running for two more recruits that would solidify two crucial positions.
Myles Turner, a 6-foot-11 center, is considering Kansas and will announce his decision on April 30. Kansas is also a contender for the top uncommitted point guard in Devonte Graham, who was just released from his letter
of intent to Appalachian State last week. With his ability to shoot and block shots, Turner would be a virtual lock to start at center while Graham, known for his defense and court awareness, would make a strong push to start at point guard.
While Kansas will lose three important players in Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Tarik Black, the Jayhawks return key contributors from last year's team, including
Wayne Selden Jr, Perry Ellis,
Naadir Tharpe, Frank Mason,
Conner Frankamp, Brannen
Greene and Jamari Traylor.
The Jayhawks seemed stacked
for at least the next two years.
The biggest threat to the streak should be Texas, who is returning the entire starting five from a team that finished third in the Big 12 last year. West Virginia returns key players from a team that defeated Kansas last year. Brady Heslip and Isaiah
Austin will be gone, but Baylor returns most of its core after making the Sweet 16.
Other conference contenders this season appear to be headed for a slight drop-off. Iowa State loses seniors Melvin Ejim and DeAndre Kane, who together averaged 35 points a game for a Cyclone team that won the Big 12 Tournament. Oklahoma State also loses a pair that combined to average 35 points a game. Do-it-all point guard Marcus Smart
The Jayhawks are highly unlikely to win another set of 10 straight conference titles. They may not even break the all-time record of 13 consecutive titles set by UCA almost three decades ago.
is heading to the NBA while sharpshooter Markel Brown graduates.
But other Big 12 teams wanting a reprieve from Kansas' stranglehold aren't going to get it anytime soon.

Anyone who has bought a cup of coffee on campus has seen his name — even if they didn't know it. Danny O'Neill, known as "the Bean Baron," is the president and founder of Kansas City's local air-roasted coffee producer: The Roasterie. The story of how he forged a love for coffee in 1978 by picking beans at a coffee plantation as a study abroad student in Costa Rica is emblazoned on the side of all the University's paper coffee cups.
What many may not know, however, is that O'Neill and The Roasterie, which he started in his basement in the early '90s, have been partnered with the University from the very start. O'Neill's first sales contract in 1993 was with the KU Medical Center, and The Roasterie has been the Lawrence campus's coffee supplier since 1996.
In honor of this partnership, and in recognition of a recent donation of $22,000 to university partners in February — with the University's portion funding the annual Roasterie Retail Student Employee Scholarship — the University Daily Kansan met with O'Neill for an interview at The Roasterie headquarters. He discussed his company's connection with the University and its business practices that have shaped coffee culture in Kansas City and the Midwest.
UDK: The Roasterie recently donated $22,000, which is disbursed between a few of your partner universities — including Kansas. What's your motivation for doing that?
DO: I wouldn't have gone to school without Pell Grants, so we're in a position where it's just very important to me to give back. Not only do we not charge [a franchise fee], but we rebate back 3 percent. So if a café is doing $500,000 a year, that's $15,000 that swing towards scholarships for students. We don't have any strings on it other than that we say, if you ask us, we'd prefer you give it to kids who, but for this [scholarship], wouldn't be able to go to school. We call it the "but for." We've gotten dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of letters over the years from students who've received those, and then hopefully they'll do the same thing if they're in that position. It's very meaningful to me that we can do that. KU [Medical Center] was the first account for us, so we go back to literally day one. We have folks on the campus every week and I'm out there at least once a quarter if not more often. I love it. We have a great fanbase here in town and a lot of the fanbase is KU.
UDK: Growing up, what are your earliest memories of coffee, and how did your love for coffee begin?
it at that point. But then the first time I drank coffee, that I remember, was at a stock car race and it was really cold, on a Saturday night, so I got coffee. I think I was in third or fourth grade and I did not like it, but you can only imagine how bad it was. It was probably really cheap, nasty, percolated coffee. And then fast forward: I was a freshman in college, going through finals, I was a nervous wreck and I had let things go through the whole semester to the last minute, [so] I drank a whole pot. I loved it.
DO: That's a good question. I
don't get asked that one much. The first one I can think of would be my mom had "coffees" back then. They called them "coffees." It was usually women in the neighborhood where I grew up in a little town in Iowa. Vera Peterson. Mrs. Rules' house — they would rotate and there would be a number of women having coffee and socializing; it was really cool. I remember standing around the table in these different places and I would always smell the coffee. I don't really remember drinking
I couldn't sleep: I couldn't sit still; I couldn't study; but wow, I loved it. And I've been pretty much in that space ever since.
UDK: What was your experience like as a study abroad student in Costa Rica when you first picked coffee beans?
DO: When I went to Costa Rica as a senior in high school I didn't really drink coffee yet then, but I had grown up my whole life working on farms. So when my friends were going coffee picking and they asked
me, I said yeah. I just love farmers — people who have their hands in the dirt are just special people. It was transformative, that whole experience, obviously. At the time I didn't know why and I didn't realize it; I wasn't conscious of it. Of course, later, looking back, there's this idealized memory of that coffee picking in that two to three weeks that I went, and it was just cool being up on top of the sunny mountain with all my high school friends

Morgan Merritt, a junior from La Quinta, Calif., snaps a picture of campus from the fifth floor of Fraser and tags it with #exploreKU!
ASHLEY BOOKER
news@kansan.com
When Morgan Merritt looks at her #exploreKU photo of the week she explains it as capturing "one of those moments." The clouds were light and airy, the trees were bare and the brightness of the morning drew her to the window.
"I worked really hard to get here and have to continue to work hard to stay," said Merritt, a junior who works three jobs and is a full-time student from La Quinta, Calif. "Every once in a while I catch myself realizing where I am and how lucky I am to be here. It's like everything I've gone through has been worth it. So capturing one little beautiful part of campus reminds me that I am here for a reason and to keep pushing on."
Merritt is just one of many students who uses the #exploreKU hashtag on social
media created by the Office of Marketing Communications for the school's third social media "triathlon" last August, to encourage students, faculty and staff to share what they love about the University of Kansas.
Marketing Communications. "We added the #exploreKU hashtag as a way to actively engage with students and so they had some sort of enticing reason for them to tag KU in some sort of perpetual way as the year winds on."
For the triathlon, they were encouraged to post on Twitter: a haiku with the additional hashtag #hawKU, a picture posted from Instagram or a video posted from Vine. Prizes included a University sports package, iPad, $200 gift certificates for the KU Bookstore or Tech Shop and a luncheon with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.
"This is our third year doing this triathlon idea beginning in the fall semester. What we decided this year was that we wanted to perpetuate it beyond the two-week time frame," said Justin Henning, associate director of interactive media for the Office of
Now, *exploreKU is mainly used by students, faculty, staff, alumni and prospective students who visit the University. Usual posts include both written 140-character statements and pictures based on moments at the University, favorite hangouts, candid beauty shots or interesting things happening around campus.
"We try to look for, yes, a great photo, but we also like
As a way to promote the hashtag, the Office of Marketing Communications also features one #exploreKU photo of the week, which gets hand picked by their staff and posted on Sundays. Merritt's photo was posted April 13.
people to explain what they're doing," Katie McCurry, digital strategist for the Office of Marketing Communications, said. "The more perspective you can give with your content, the greater other people are to connect with you."
One night, Joey Beeler, who has used the #exploreKU hashtag a couple times was on his way home from the library, snapped a picture of what caught his eye.
"I like the photo because it reminds me of Friday night
football games," said Beeler, a senior from Wichita. "I also thought it was cool that both the memorial Campanile and Memorial Stadium were lit up at night."
Like Beeler, Connor Birzer, a freshman from Ellinwood, has also used the hashtag. Most of his posts have captured the campus foliage in full color.
"I like to see which #exploreKU posts the University reposts," Birzer said. "It's a great way to show how unique and beautiful of a campus we

have."
"There're so many ideas of what a classroom is," McCurry said. "I hope with the further use of the hashtag that we get research students showing their work in the field and in labs."

University carillonists share secrets of Campanile bells
news@kansan.com
MADDY MIKINSKI
Climbing up the stairs in the Campanile is not for those weak of heart or suffering from claustrophobia. The spiral staircase is narrow and boxed in with concrete walls. The staircase ends at a tiny office unknown to most except for the University's carillonists.
A carillon is "an instrument that consists of at least 23 tuned bells," said Professor Elizabeth Berghout, a class of 1997 alumna and the University's carillonist since 2000. "We actually have 53 bells."
Though most people don't know the carillons exist, they do know the history behind its iconic home. The idea of the Campanile was born in the 1940s after World War II. In 1950, the Campanile was erected as a dedication
to students and alumni who had played a part in the war. The bells, cast in England and brought to America on a ship, were installed a year later.
Though the bells are over sixty years old, they require little upkeep. When bells are cast at the foundry, they're tuned for life. "They're not tuned again unless there's something really wrong with a bell," Berghout said.
Part of Berghout's job as carillonist is to oversee the upkeep of the bells and, with the help of a technician, to keep them ringing.
Berghout was first introduced to the instrument as a child.
"When I was about 8 one of my mom's piano students played the carillon at BYU," she said. "Then I actually went to school at BYU and every hour the bells would chime, but I wasn't interested
in learning to play it there."
in learning to play it there." When Berghout came to the University of Kansas for her master's degree in 1994, the bells were being renovated. After she attended a recital played by then carillonist Albert Girkin, her interest grew.
"I attended the rededication recital played by Albert Girkin and he gave tours," Berghout said. "I really enjoyed the recital, I loved the mellow sound of the bells. I came up on a tour and he showed us the practice room and we went upstairs and he played for us."
Berghout took lessons from Girkin until he retired and she became the University's carilionist.
As carillonist, Berghout doesn't pull strings like a modern day Quasimodo; she sits at a keyboard, which is about six feet long and arranged slightly that of a
piano.
We play with our fist," she said. "The the keys kind of look like the end (sic) of broom handles."
Carillonists play the bells by bouncing their fists upon the handles while also moving their feet.
"The carillon incorporates both your hands and both your feet." said junior political science major Michael Lindgren. "For me it's been a learning experience to coordinate the two."
Lindgren plays the trumpet and has been playing the carillon for four semesters. Lindgren said he practices for two hours per week. He was first introduced to the instrument when his sister played it at the University of Michigan.
"I think a lot of people who play it are organ students," he said. "I mostly take it for fun. The Campanile itself is such a
centerpiece to the University. It's cool to say that I can go up and play the instrument."
Lindgren is one of Berghout's students. Berghout's approach to the class is different than most.
"We meet individually so it's like a private lesson," she said. "I meet with each of my students once a week and they have certain practice times."
Once students have learned a piece, they get the opportunity to play it during recitals.
"I play most of the recitals then when a student is ready to perform something, they can participate in that recital," Berghout said.
Recitals take place Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at noon.

BARON FROM PAGE 1
from Costa Rica; we were having so much fun. They joked that the amount of food I ate was worth more than what I made picking coffee. Every year I go back, my host mother reminds everybody of that fact.
UDK: You later founded The Roasterie in your basement back in the '90s. What was it like starting your own business?
DO: There were a lot of big companies, but there wasn't really much of a local culture to speak of. Even though some of us had a local attitude because I was born in Iowa and raised in a small town where, of course, you do everything you can locally; it's stupid not to. Some folks had to go away to college to learn that, but for us it was just baked in, I guess you could say. But there also weren't that many coffee shops and people were just used to buying nasty coffee and having crappy coffee in restaurants, and so we really had to build it. It was
pretty just me the first four months, although my dad came down from Iowa to help me. But a typical day would be I'd get up at 7 a.m. and then go deliver everything I'd sold the day before and then I'd make sales calls until 5 or 6 p.m. Next, I'd go home and start roasting and packing and I'd do that until about 4 in the morning then get back up at 7. On Saturdays I would do demos in the grocery stores and then on Sundays wed do charity events handing out cups of coffee, you know — we did that for about a year and a half.
UDK: The Roasterie sources coffee directly from farmers who grow the beans. How are you able to make that a profitable business model?
DO: Most [farmers] we deal with are an average of about two acres. So we'll typically have multiple farmers we work with in the same microclimate. They want to mitigate as much of that risk as they can. We so can say, "Hey, we'll buy this coffee this year for $2 or $3 a pound, and we'll take
it for two years at $3." If that's the case, they can plan them; they can take care of their people. They can offer healthcare if they need to and want to; they can offer benefits and take so much better care of their plants. They don't have to worry about if the market goes south — they're covered.
We [also] try to be non imperialistic about it, so we don't say, "Gee, I like you, I'm going to build you a statue, or I'm going to build you a road." And the typical person is going to be so nice they're going to think, "Well, I don't need a statue or a road, what I really need is a daycare," or "What I really need is a school." So we say, "What needs do you guys have?" In Costa Rica it was preschool, in Brazil it was a school, in Colombia it was a community daycare center, so we take a little bit of the money from what we buy and we rebate it back. In that way, for us, it's more sustainable because they don't just say, "Some rich Gringo sent in a check." That's not sustainable; I'm going to get hit by a truck and I'm going to end up with needs of my own. So in
a perfect world, [the growers] think, "Our coffee is so high quality, and this company, The Roasterie, is buying it, and they're being able to pay more because they can sell it for more because it's so high quality and they send some of that back." As long as we can continue to produce this extraordinary high quality then we can keep the partnership going. It's been working now for 15 years in one case and 16 years in another case.
+
DO: I can't give away what we're going to do, but I'd say if you look at our plane out there and if you think, "What would they do if they were going to do a drive thru?" It's going to be pretty different and radical. I hope before fall starts that we'll have one up and open and if that works out we'll do a bunch more. And then we'll continue to grow outside of Kansas City in concentric circles.
UDK: What advice might you give to KU students who want
L
UDK: What's next for The Roasterie?
to start their own business like you did?
DO: Love serving others in whatever capacity it is, whether it's a camera shop. a craft brewery, whatever it is. I knew the owners of Wheatfields [bakery] in Lawrence and they both loved baking bread and serving, and here they are 25 years later and still going strong. If they were doing it for a buck there they'd have been out of business a long time ago. So I think if you have this passion and you just work unbelievably flippin' hard, maybe you'll be successful — no guarantees. And then if you are successful and you have a high quality product then the financial rewards will follow, but it's got to be in that order. There's a saying that, "The marketplace has no grace." I don't care who you are, how nice you are or what you do, there just is not much grace in the marketplace, so you've really got to earn it.

Lawrence art community fights to preserve local mural
THE GARDEN
KAITLYN KLEIN
news@kansan.com
calls browse the Lawrence Farmers Market in front of the "Pollinators" mural. The City of Lawrence, the art community and developers are working together to preserve the artwork.
KAITLYN KLEIN/KANSAN
On a walk to the Lawrence Farmers Market, you're surrounded by art. There's a statue on a street corner and a musician playing guitar outside a local business.
Once you arrive at the Market, you find more local musicians, people gathered around booths to buy produce and a giant mural where art and community merge together.
A quote by Kansas poet Gwendolyn Brooks hovers above the scenery as if marking a community creed: "We are each other's harvest, we are each other's business, we are each other's magnitude and bond."
Lawrence resident Dave Loewenstein is a nationally recognized muralist and argues that art is integral to any community's identity.
"The stories and voices that we see represented around us in our town say a lot about who we are and what we value." Loewenstein said.
Recently, the Lawrence art community caught the attention of the Lawrence City Commission. A local development project led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor was set to encroach on the community mural that has become a part of the Market. The "Pollinators" mural, located at 9th and New Hampshire, was in the way of progress.
Loewenstein and a group of community members created the mural in 2007 with the help of the Spencer Museum of Art, which commissioned the project to honor Aaron Douglas. Douglas was an African-American painter from Topeka, who made a major contribution to the Harlem
Renaissance.
When it became clear the hotel and underground parking lot development project would require the building "Pollinators" rests on to be torn down, Loewenstein and Susan Earle from the Spencer started working to save it.
For the past 18 months Loewenstein, Earle and others have been fighting to preserve the mural.
"They genuinely appreciated us giving them the history," Earle said of the developers.
Loewenstein felt it was important to receive input from stakeholders, including the people who created the mural and people from the neighborhood where the mural is located.
nership with the development project.
After discussing the options with various groups and organizations, Loewenstein and representatives from the Spencer crafted a proposal to present to the Commission earlier this month.
"He [Loewenstein] has been really steadfast and creative and flexible, which has been a huge help to us," Earle said.
Although the City of Lawrence doesn't have a direct say in what happens to the mural, the Commission voted on whether or not to provide up to $24.5 million in bonds to the development project. According to the Lawrence Journal-World, the developers have agreed to provide $20,000
"People wanted to see this mural in some form exist in
The parties developed three options for the mural: preserve the existing mural, move the mural to an alternate location or recreate the mural in part-
other location.
"The stories and voices that we see represented around us in our town say a lot about who we are and what we value."

this place," Loewenstein said. "It wasn't good enough to have it moved somewhere else or recreated somewhere else."
Because of the value of having "Pollinators" in the present location, the proposal sought to work with the developer to recreate the mural instead of attempting to move it to an-
to the mural project, which is estimated to cost $50,000.
"Because the Commission was going to vote on whether or not they got this tax break — public money — they saw it in their interest to also address this issue that was in the public's interest," Loewenstein said.
This particular problem reflects a broader issue — balancing economic development and community values — that art communities struggle with every day across the country.
"It's extraordinarily rare to hear a city council or city commission spend so much time talking about community art," Loewenstein said.
Loewenstein said the time spent on this issue speaks well to the future of how the city engages with these issues of art and culture. In fact, a recent job posting by the City suggests that art and culture will be a part of the conversation more frequently in the future.
The new director of art and culture will, according to the job listing, "Work with various arts and cultural institutions, organizations, creative businesses and individuals in Lawrence to enhance collaboration and collaborative activities." Diane Stoddard, assistant city manager, said Lawrence is known for its art and culture, and the City recognizes how
art and culture increases quality of life among local citizens.
"This position will be involved a lot in trying to foster collaborative efforts amongst organizations and artists;" Stoddard said.
While the future of the "Pollinators" mural hinges on an agreement between the Spencer, the developers and the artist, the process has allowed a relationship to bloom between the City, the art community and local developers.
Earle sees the process as a victory for all involved with the mural, as well as the Lawrence community as a whole.
"All the parties involved are committed now to recreating it." Earle said.

UN group sounds another climate change false alarm
CON
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, recently released its "Fifth Assessment Report", the AR5. If you still haven't read the titanic, 1,535-page report written by hundreds of scientists from various disciplines, I don't blame you. The IPCC has for more than two decades now attempted to sound the climate change alarm, and this is the fifth iteration. If you want further exposure to climate change false alarms that stink of liberal biases, try reading the AR4, which was released in 2007.
When you hear an alarm, you're trained to react. Fire alarm? Leave the building. But this climate change alarm, the AR5, is one that you should ignore. In fact, Robert Tol, one of only three economists that contributed to the AR5, withdrew from the final draft, claiming that the report had become "too alarmist". Truthfully, politicians and pundits, liberal to conservative, ignore most of the report and tend to focus on a 28-page "Summary for Policymakers."
It's more of a liberal soapbox than a summary. The Wall Street Journal, straight from the AR5, gives the following example: "Recognizing how inequality and marginalization perpetuate poverty is a prerequisite for climate-resilient development pathways." The IPCC goes on later to say that investment in "developing countries" must increase by "orders of magnitude."
By Chris Ouyang
opinion@kansan.com
That's right to fight this climate change monster, the IPCC is taking the fight to poverty and inequality in developing countries first.
These endless political agendas mark the IPCC. If you take the liberal-spin off of the IPCC assertion, it would look like this: Improving a nation's economy will lead to improvements in its ability to combat climate change. But the carbon taxes, intensified regulatory scrutiny and continued waves of climate activism the IPCC hopes to inspire damage the very economic growth that is absolutely critical to protecting the environment, while also confusing the public.
As the Wall Street Journal aptly puts it, "the IPCC supports the very
regulation, income redistribution and politically favored misallocation of resources that will make the world poorer — and less able to adapt if the climate threat proves to be as real as the U.N.'s computer models claim."
Although government intervention has changed water quality, smog problems and other environmental issues for the better. climate change is not the same issue Rather, it reeks of Malthusian error. As Matt Ridley, author of "The Rational Optimist," asserted in the New York Times, climate change alarmism is more similar to other exaggerated global environmental scares of the past half century, like killer bees. The problem is not as extreme as the alarms argue, but only after waves of international funds line the coffers of climate scientists will everyone quietly converge on a more moderate position.
Sadly, what determines which side — the lukewarmers like myself who don't deny climate change, but are sick of the doom and gloom, and the alarmists who think the Earth is being poisoned — will get to say "I told you so," is driven by perception rather than fact. The IPCC knows that.
Don't get swept up in the climate change hoopla, especially in a liberal environment like Lawrence. Finish your engineering degree and make the next generation battery. Study business and find ways to make green energy more economic. Get involved in tangible environmental issues, like the depletion of the Ogallala aquifer. But don't waste your time sounding the climate change alarm.

Action must be taken to combat climate change
When Nicolaus Copernicus first suggested that the Earth was not stationar
Earth was not stationary, but revolved around the sun, his idea was met with disdain. Today, we view Copernicus as a forefather of the Scientific Revolution and a saint of controversial science. His ideas ushered in not only a great change in astronomy, but also a great change in our understanding of our place on Earth.
The latest International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "Fifth Assessment Report" has been met with similar misunderstanding. In my opinion, the IPCC report should usher in a great change in policy and a greater understanding of our individual role in the largest problem facing the 21st century: climate change.
The IPCC consists of thousands of scientists from 195 different countries and was established in 1988 by the United Nations Environmental Programme and the World Meteorological Organization. During the last year, the IPCC released its latest report on climate change in three parts. The latest section, titled mitigation of climate change, was released in late March.
The third report's message was clear: We have until 2030 to more aggressively pursue greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation before our world will be unmistakably altered due to drastic temperature increases.
The science in the latest report makes it very clear that humans are responsible for an unprecedented increase in GHG emissions. In fact, the IPCC says with high confidence that rising emissions across all sectors since 2010 are due to increased economic growth. With similar confidence, the report indicates that emissions will continue to rise in the face of continued population and economic growth without implementation of GHG mitigation. This drastic upset in the balance of atmospheric carbon will cause global temperatures to rise between 38.6 and 40.6 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100 compared to pre-industrial times.
The IPCC believes this drastic increase in temperature will cause many reasons for concern, including the following harrowing examples. First, coastal communities are at risk of illness, injury and death due to
By Gabrielle Murnan opinion@kansan.com
flooding and storm surges. Second, extreme weather events will breakdown infrastructure networks that deliver electricity, water and health and emergency services. Third, a high likelihood of an agricultural breakdown from water shortages will cause widespread food insecurity.
In addition to presenting extensive data on the science and outcomes of climate change, the latest IPCC report provides mitigation strategies. In order to keep our planet from warming 35.6 degrees by 2100, we must keep our atmospheric carbon content at 450 parts per million. This can be achieved by lowering our carbon emission 40-70 percent from 2010 levels through implementation of a strict carbon tax, creation of sustainable urban development, increased infrastructure and energy efficiency and modification of individual consumption behaviors.
As was true in the times of Copernicus, science can be a polarizing force that cripples reasonable action, but in the case of climate change, the cost of inaction will be far greater than the immediate costs of GHG mitigation. If we do not adopt stronger mitigation strategies by 2030, our world will continue on its朵daystrajectory. We must ask ourselves whether we want to pay higher prices for energy now or suffer food shortages, biodiversity loss, public health problems from disease and a legacy of environmental degradation in the near future.
We must take the concept of cost effectiveness out of mitigation dialogue because human life, future human life and the environment cannot be monetized. The science does not lie. If we ignore the latest TPCC report, our children and our world will pay the price for our inaction.

REVIEW
'Bears' offers entertainment for children, adults alike
(1)
Sky is not the strongest bear on the planet, however, and because she must always
By Andrew Hoskins entertain@kansan.com
Who wouldn't want a lifestyle of fishing and brawling
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
The bulk of the movie follows a young mother bear, Sky, and her two cubs, Scout and Amber. The movie begins as they emerge from their hibernation hole super high up on a snowy mountain. It's Scout and Amber's first time outdoors, so they have a tough time keeping up with their quick-walking mama. Sky's mission is to lead the cubs to a meadow that is home to several other bears. Once they arrive at the meadow, the cubs are introduced to a sleuth of bears. Some are nice, some are mean, some are cuddly. But none of them escape the watchful eye of the big-daddy Magnus, who serves as the group's scary leader. After some meandering and time-killing at the meadow, the bears move on in search of salmon, which appears to be their favorite food. Sky and the cubs are in tow, of course. They finally arrive at a salmon-rich coastline somewhere and the feast begins
Because of the danger, Sky takes the cubs in search of a pool of water high in the mountains, where the salmon swim upstream to lay their eggs. The pool would be a prime spot for the trio because they can fatten up as much as they want with little interference. When they reach the pool, they find other bears have already staked out the pool, but fortunately there's enough salmon to go around. After presumably spending weeks cramming salmon down their gullets, the bears are fat enough to survive the next winter. Then the film ends. Spoiler alert. There's really nothing to spoil, the quest is worth taking whether you know what happens or not.
by summer and sleeping by winter? Disney's "Bears" does an excellent job of telling the story of the lifestyles, habitats and habits of a pack of bears on the Alaskan Peninsula. We learn a little bit about the bears' social and hierarchal systems, watch them forage and hunt for food and see a couple of really great bear fights.
keep an eye out for the cubs, it's tough for her to hunt and leave them alone and vulnerable around the other bears some of whom are apparently cannibals. Also, a seedy wolf has been stalking the cubs this whole time.
*Bears* is riddled with interesting bear facts and eye-popping scenery from the rarely seen Alaskan Peninsula. There is at least one cool time-lapse
FILM
Whoopi Goldberg plays dying matriarch in movie
"Dying matriarch" might not sound like a dream role for an actress in her 50s, but Whoopi Goldberg's not complaining.
"The View" co-host stars in Lifetime's adaptation of Terry McMillan's "A Day Late and a Dollar Short," in which she's playing Viola Price, who, on learning that her next asthma attack will probably be her last, decides that it's time to straighten out her muddled family, which includes a straying husband (Ving Rhames) and their four grown children.
"Matriarchs agewise have shifted so much" said Goldberg, 58.
The actress, who has one daughter, three grandchildren and became a great-grandmother last month, has different ideas about how she'd handle a prognosis like Viola's.
"People are parents in their 20s, people are parents in their 50s," she said. "I mean, it's crazy. So, the idea that your child, or the person who's playing your child, had to be so much younger than you — well, if you got married at 18, your kids are grown."
"If I got a diagnosis like that — my family knows this — my plan is to head to Greece, because that's where I want to go to die," she said.
And the dying part's OK, too.
"I've died before. I died in another Terry McMillan (project). I died in 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back.' "They're always killing me off," she said, laughing.
Outspoken as she is herself, Goldberg said that she feels "bad for folks like Viola, who realize at that point that she needs to get them in order, who's not kind of been as present as she could be."
They won't need her to stay home to straighten them out?
"I say, 'I'm going to Greece.' they all pack and come. There's no goin off on a mountaintop. The entire brood is going to be there."
Viola let things slide "because she didn't want to know. She didn't want to hear it. She didn't want to get in the way. But she did want to get in the way," said the actress, who admitted that she finds the
character "annoying."
"If your kids are going through that kind of thing and then you decide to get in the middle of it and then you don't tell them what's going on, oh ___ouch," she said, sounding exasperated.
Though she's part of the EGOT club, having won two daytime Emmys and a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony, Goldberg, who's also an executive producer on "A Day Late," insists, "I don't get a lot of offers at all. I go looking for stuff that I'm interested in."
"But I think it's in a funny way a cautionary tale. You see stuff that needs to be done, you better do your maintenance, because you don't know what is going to happen in the future. You never know."
and plenty of close-up bear shots. Overall, it has really impressive camera work.
And with a daily platform on ABC's "The View," she doesn't keep her interests to herself.
"I'll do voices sometimes for my friend Seth Green (of "Robot Chicken"), or I'll do something for some Russian animation that's happening, because they know I'm obsessed. I love it. I love puppets. It's all the things I grew up with. So if they're making a Muppet movie and I'm free, I'm bogarting myself in there."
She's also a sucker for the Muppets, working with them on several occasions and playing herself in the 2011 film "The Muppets."
So, when I asked her, picking randomly from her recent resume, how she came to be the voice of Mrs. Rabbit on ABC's "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," she replied, "Well, everyone knows I'm a fairy tale and gnome and, you know, unicorn (fan). I believe in all of that."
"It's like this," she said of her work ethic, "if you don't marry well, you have to keep working. And I never married well. I married often (three times), but I never married well."
For "Muppets Most Wanted" she wasn't free, alas. "But I'm in the 'Ninja Turtle' movie," she said, adding, "I'm not a turtle."
Plus, staying home would "drive me crazy."
There is one thing you must know, however. The movie is HEAVILY geared toward very young children. There's nothing terribly sophisticated about this one. It's narrated by John C. Reilly — bizarre choice — in a very childish manner. Despite the childishness, it's still really interesting to watch.
McClatchy Tribune
I personally recommend this movie to young kids, outdoorsmen and bear lovers. If you're a salmon enthusiast, skip this one. Your heart will break.

a personal best race in the new facility."
Following Vollmer's win, sophomore Tianna Valentine used a heavy tailwind to her advantage in the 100 meters, running a personal best 11.33 to blow away the competition and give the Jayhawks their third-straight event victory on Saturday afternoon. The time not only earned her the victory, but it placed her in the top 10 of 100 meters performers in University history.
Earlier in the week, freshman Grace Morgan turned in a special performance in the first race of her collegiate career. The Lawrence native, running in front of her hometown fans,
turned in a 17:11.88 in the 5,000 meters to give her the victory in her very first race as a Jayhawk.
The Jayhawks also saw a pair of event victories on the field. The first of these came on Thursday in the women's hammer throw competition. Sophomore Daina Levy was able to hit a high mark of 60.14 meters to grab the event title. Two days later, on Saturday, sophomore Sydney Conley gave the Jayhawks their second field event victory in the long jump, recording a personal best 6.50 meter-mark that put her at third in the NCAA standings.
The Jayhawks also dominated the team events over the weekend, winning five of the eight relay events. These victories
came in the men and women's distance medley relay, the men and women's 4x100 meter relay and the women's 4x400 meter relay.
Overall, this year's Kansas Relays was a big success for the Jayhawks. Not only did they claim numerous victories in all facets of the track and field events that took place, but they gave the thousands of fans that came out to Rock Chalk Park a good introduction to the new home of University track and field.

Jayhawks fall to Cowboys
BEN FELDERSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
The Jayhawks had nothing to celebrate on their four-hour drive back from Stillwater, Okla., Sunday evening. Kansas traveled to Oklahoma State to play a three game conference series over the weekend.
Kansas came into the series with a 23-16 record and were 6-6 in conference play. The Jayhawks left Stillwater 23-19 with a 6-9 record conference.
The Jayhawks' bats were stymied in the series opener as they fell to the Cowboys 7-0. The Cowboys' Jon Perrin threw a complete game shutout, allowing only six hits and striking out nine Kansas batters.
Senior right-handed pitcher Jordan Piché had another rough outing on the mound, allowing six earned runs on 10 hits through six innings. Piché fell to 4-5 on the season and has a 6.34 ERA. The former closer has struggled in his three starts this season, allowing 17 runs in 17 innings pitched.
Sophomore first baseman Ryan Pidhaichuk had the only multi-hit game for the Jayhawks. Pidhaichuk is batting 2.77 on the season in 47 at bats.
Kansas saw a late lead slip away in the second game of the series as they gave up three runs in the bottom half of the eighth inning to lose 5-3. Freshman right-hander Stephen Villines suffered his first loss of the season thanks to a few untimely errors.
Junior third baseman Aaron Hernandez then a routine ground ball away, which put a
runner on second base. Cowboys' second baseman Tim Arakawa followed up with a two-run homerun to give the Cowboys the lead.
Junior right-handed pitcher Robert Kahana was efficient through 5.1 innings, but had to be taken out because of a high pitch count. Kahana up one run on six hits while striking one. Junior designated hitter Dakota Smith went 2-4 with a run scored in the losing effort.
The Cowboys completed the sweep Sunday afternoon with a 6-3 victory over the Jayhawks. Senior Frank Duncan had his worst start since the his first outing of the season, allowing six earned runs to score through seven innings of work.
Oklahoma State used four pitchers to defeat the Jayhawks with Blake Battenfield picking up his second win of the season. Battenfield went 3.1 innings strong allowing only one run on five hits.
Senior outfielder Tucker Tharp belted a two-run homerun in the top half of the second inning. This was Tharp's fifth home run of the season, putting him fifth amongst the Big 12 leaders.
The Jayhawks are now three games under 500 in conference play and have a lot of work to do if they want to find themselves in the Big 12 championship game again.
Kansas plays Missouri State in a mid-week contest Wednesday and will host Baylor at Hoglund Park this weekend.

NICK CHADBOURNE sports@kansan.com
Dom Dwyer netted two goals on Saturday night as Sporting Kansas City defeated Montreal Impact 4-0 at Sporting Park.
Dwyer scored twice in twelve minutes, extending a late 2-0 lead into a four score routing.
"They were having a hard time with [Dywer] tonight."
PETER VERMES Sporting coach
He found the net in the 74th and 86th minutes.
"Sorry, but he was a pain in the ass for their defenders," said Sporting coach Peter Vermes. "They were having a hard time with him [tonight]."
Montreal Impact opened the scoring with an own-goal in
the 30th minute. Sporting's Matt Besler, throwing-in from the left sideline near the Impact penalty box, employed his signature long throw toward the box, which was headed by Calum Mallace over his keeper's head and into the net. The faulty header was affected by a mid-air collision with Sporting's Aurélien Collin who was battling Mallace for the header.
Collin got his name on the scoresheet in the 71st minute with a low kick from outside the box, slotting it past Impact's goalkeeper Troy Perkins for a 2-0 lead. The lead set the stage for Dwyer to swipe a late brace in 12 minutes, putting the game out of reach for Montreal.
The win puts Sporting (3-1-2) into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference. They resume play next weekend against New England Revolution (2-3-2), who played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Kansas falls to Texas Tech in weekend series
The Jayhawks battled through close games this weekend in the homestand series against Texas Tech, but failed to come up with a victory.
+
In the first matchup on Thursday, Texas Tech pulled an early 3-0 lead over the Jayhawks. Kansas came running back, narrowing the Red Raider to 3-2. That was the closest the Jayhawks
would come in that game. Every time Kansas would score, the Red Raiders would be one step ahead. Texas Tech took the game 7-5.
On Friday, the Red Raiders needed extra time to pull off the win. In the seventh inning, Texas Tech rallied from one run down to take the game to extra innings. The team's hot streak continued well into the ninth, beating the Javihawks 9-7.
Kansas junior pitcher Alicia Pille and Texas Tech sophomore pitcher Gretchen Aucoin. Both pitchers allowed three hits and struck out seven batters. The difference was Texas Tech's freshman infielder Cassie McClure. McClure hit a homerun in the fourth inning, the lone run of the game.
The third game on Saturday was a pitching duel between
Kansas suits up again April 25. The Jayhawks travel to Waco, Texas, to take on the Baylor Bears.

Kansas will just be a small part of that.
Let's rewind for a second just to make sure you can understand who Cliff Alexander is.
Like most, it's a rivalry rooted in pride, each side believing they are the most righteous and willing to do whatever it takes to prove it. And although Cliff Alexander and Jahil Okafor are carrying the same expectations as they enter college for what will likely be one year, they'll be measured against each other for as long as they play.
Chicago players' rivalry continues after high school
There's a rivalry coming to the University of Kansas. One that began only a few years ago, but is already fierce.
COLUMN
Jif CREAMY
Alexander is a 6-foot-9-inch, 240-pound McDonald's All-American power forward from Curie Metropolitan High School in Chicago who was voted the Naismith Prep Player of the Year. As of early November, he is also one of the latest additions to the Jayhawks. And for whatever it's worth, he's a top five recruit from this year's class and a lottery pick in most 2015 mock drafts.
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
Unofficially, Alexander led Curie to a city title with 24 victories. Yet, Curie's roster featured a few academically ineligible players and the
He just as easily could've given that distinction to Alexander, but that doesn't mean he can't steal it away.
the Chicago Tribune called Okafor, "Chicago's next great basketball ambassador," following in the footsteps of Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis and Jabari Parker.
Don't get this twisted either. Just because the two have a fierce rivalry doesn't mean they aren't friendly. Haugh reported that Okafor and Alexander often send Snapchats to each other.
After battling each other for the last four years, the two won't play each other before reaching the NBA, unless something magical happens next March.
Still, that desire to be Chicago's best is getting set to move to the college stage. For Alexander that'll be at Kansas — more than likely replacing Joel Embiid — while Okafor heads off to Duke.
If that game does happen, this one will be more than Jayhawks versus Blue Devils.
Eight miles from where Alexander was tearing down rims at Curie, Okafor was putting on a similar performance at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School.
No, this will be personal. And it will only be a chapter in a rivalry that won't be fading anytime soon.
school was forced to forfeit its season.
As far as big men go, Alexander appears to be a prototypical Bill Self player: a raw athlete with a big frame and natural talent. And in any other year the recently named Mr. Basketball USA — the first Chicagoan to hold the title since Kevin Garnett in 1995 — would be the king of his sport in his hometown. Of course, that wouldn't be fair to Jahlil Okafor.
Edited by Amber Kasselman
Okafor is a McDonald's All-American, Illinois Mr. Basketball and owns a state championship ring.
The line between Alexander and Okafer may as well come down to a matter of opinion. Very rarely is one talked about in Chicago without mentioning the other, but in late March, David Haugh of

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We have a plan. We're going to stick to it; we're going to execute it and we're going to be very selective in free agency and we're going to build the foundation of this club through the draft."

FACT OF THE DAY
The Kansas City Chiefs lost 60 percent of their starting offensive line 66 minutes into free agency.

THE MORNING BREW
2014 season doesn't look promising for Chiefs
A after an uplifting 11-win season from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, the team's offseason
activity, or lack for thereof, shows no sign of promise this year.
The Chiffs lost eight starters on offense, defense and special teams so far in free agency. Two Pro Bowlers are included among the eight the Chiefs were unable to retain.
To this date, Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey has been unsuccessful in bringing in new starters to the team.
By Farzin Vousoughian
sports@kansan.com
If you are expecting another double-digit winning season from the Chiefs in 2014 during Andy Reid's second year as the coach of the franchise, you will be expecting too much.
The Chiefs have plenty of voids that need to be filled. The offensive line is missing three starters while losing three starters on defense. When it comes to special teams, Pro Bowl returner Dexter McCluster and Quintin Demps both made some noise last season. However, neither were retained and have moved on
During Dorsey's first year as the general manager, he won fans over when he traded for quarterback Alex Smith and remained busy throughout the offseason. Dorsey built a team with eight new starters going into the 2013 season. Kansas City's success eventually translated into the team sending 10 players to the Pro Bowl.
somewhere else.
out a second-round selection due to trading for Smith last year.
To go from adding eight new offensive starters to a dreary offseason so far in 2014 has disparited many Chiefs fans. Although the draft has yet to come, there is no sign the Chiefs will fill all of their holes through the draft with only six picks as the team is with-
The closest thing Dorsey and his staff have done to adding a key player was reaching out to wide receiver DeSean Jackson after his release with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dorsey knows the Chiefs have plenty of room to improve, which forces him to be active in the offseason in order to make the team better.
After starting 9-0 last season, the Chiefs went 2-5 to finish the regular season and utterly struggled to hold on to a 28-point lead in the postseason loss to Indianapolis.
The Denver Broncos, who fell in the Super Bowl, have added more power to their arsenal and are poised to return to the Super Bowl. Kansas City already has fierce competition in the AFC West. If the Chiefs can't get through the competition in the division, then it will be a long season
THE BREW
for Chiefs fans.
After going 29-67 from 2007 through 2012, 2013 was a magical, long overdue season that Chiefs fans thoroughly relished with the 9-0 start. It took the Chiefs 10 games before suffering their first
loss in the Dorsey-Reid era, which is impressive for a brand new staff. Chiefs fans hoped that was the beginning of something great to come.
But at this rate, it looks like 2014 will be a complete opposite of 2013 for Kansas City. Chiefs fans can only hope that Dorsey and Reid trust their team and know something that we don't go into this upcoming season.

Jayhawks claim titles in 13 events at Kansas Relays
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
More than 90 years ago, former University of Kansas football coach John Outland had an idea. Being from the East and observing events like the Penn Relays before he came to Kansas, he had seen what world-class college track meets were like. Since the University did not have this kind of event at the time, he decided to make one.
Working with former athletics director and basketball coach Phog Allen and former track and field coach Karl Schlademan, Outland realized his goal of creating the first Kansas Relays at Memorial Stadium on April 20, 1923.
Over the decades that followed, memories of Olympic
athletes and record-breaking performances formed, collected and stuck to the track at Memorial Stadium. Every year, people could see the physical representation of those memories, watching the event take place on the same track that every athlete in the event's history had competed on.
But this year, at the 87th Kansas Relays, it was a little different. For the first time, the event was moved from Memorial Stadium, transferring to the newly-constructed, state-of-the-art facility at Rock Chalk Park, which is the new home for the event. But while the event over the weekend was different because of the genesis of Rock Chalk Park, it was still a success as University athletes created new memories in their new home. In all, the
Jayhawks claimed titles in 13 events, giving the home crowd a good welcoming to the new facility.
For Jayhawks who had competed in the Kansas Relays at Memorial Stadium in previous years, like junior Michael
said. "The new facility was great and we brought home a lot of individual titles ... so I think it was a great way for our team to open up the Kansas Relays at Rock Chalk Park."

not only the fastest 400-meter hurdles time in the NCAA this outdoor season, but it is the fifth-fastest time in the world so far in 2014. This performance, combined with his role in the first-place 4x100 meter relay team, made Stigler one of the weekend's standouts and led to him being named the Most Outstanding Male Performer at this year's Kansas Relays.
"It just feels like all my hard work and all the preparation me and my coaches have been doing up until this point is finally starting to pay off", Stigler said. "Obviously being ranked that high in the world is a big deal and it's a great feeling, but it's still just more motivation to keep getting better."
Stigler was not the only Jayhawk that turned out a
gold-worthy performance on Saturday, as three University women won three events in a row on the final day of the meet. Sophomore Hannah Richardson kicked this run off in the 1,500 meters, running a 4:29.68 to give Richardson her first Kansas Relays individual victory.
Minutes later, junior Lindsay Vollmer, who was practicing a few events over the weekend in preparation for the heptathlon at the Big 12 Championships in mid-May, captured the win in the 100-meter hurdles. Her winning time of 13.49 was a new personal best in the event.
"I felt like I had a very solid weekend, especially in the hurdles." Vollmer said. "It was exciting to come out and have

Bob Dole returns home, visits University

TOM DEHART news@kansan.com
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Former U.S. Senator Bob Dole will be on campus Tuesday from 11 a.m. to noon.
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, named after Dole in 2003, will host an open house honoring his life as a Kansan, his commitment to service and his success in U.S. politics. The senator's return from Washington, D.C. will be part of a small tour of eastern Kansas, allowing him an opportunity to meet and speak with his former constituents.
One University of Kansas student was given the opportunity to meet him in the summer of 2013 while interning at Sen. John McCain's office in Washington, D.C. and has recently gotten the opportunity to interview him for a journalism project. Eric Pahls, a sophomore from Beloit, said that while he was growing up in western Kansas, Dole's name was respected and admired. Pahls developed an admiration for him as he grew older and began working at the Dole Institute his freshman year.
"He is kind of the embodiment of Kansas and Kansans, and I'm just very fond of the way that he worked in a bipartisan manner," Pahls said. "He was a deal-maker, and people on both sides of the aisle respect him and liked him because he was good to work with whether you were on his side or not."
Throughout Dole's political career, he was an advocate for providing equal rights to
individuals with disabilities. After being wounded in World War II and fighting back from his injuries and a significant level of paralysis, his right arm never fully recovered.
"That's why he was so big on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). He knew struggles, and he knew they were out of people's control," Pahls said. "That's why he showed that compassion and conservatism that is rare today."
"Here is an American who ... left the Senate in '96, and he has served consistently since then."
BILL LACY Dole Institute director
Beyond his involvement in passing the ADA in 1990, Dole recently took his support to an international level and has been a strong supporter of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, according to the United States International Council on Disabilities' website.
Bill Lacy, the director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, said one of the remarkable things about Doles life is his long-standing career and commitment to public service.
"Here is an American who ...left the Senate in '96,and he has served consistently since then," Lacy said.
Lacy and Pahls agree that Dole's desire to improve
the well-being of American citizens and his desire to serve, even up to present day at the current age of 90, is inspirational.
"It's important for people to know what he did, and know his story," Pahls said. "So that we can try to emulate that in politics, or even just our personal lives."
— Edited by Emily Hines
Dole served in United States Politics since the early 1960s. He ran for a vice president alongside Gerald Ford in 1976, and later ran for president against Bill Clinton in 1996.
SUMMARY
Bob Dole, former U.S. Senator from Kansas, will be speaking as part of an open house at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics today.
University students and faculty at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics said that his life and career in public service is both an embodiment of Kansans, and is a demonstration of commitment to public service.

STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS
Currently, no coalition has been declared a winner in the election because the Jayhawkers appealed the decision to disqualify them for allegedly providing Chipotle for campaigning purposes, which is against the rules.
Chancellor Gray-Little said it's a complex situation and wondered how the decision will impact the election.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed a variety of University topics on Monday, including the current Student Senate elections situation and summer construction plans.
"I've wondered if, almost regardless of the outcome, it will be necessary to have a new election, and I don't know," Gray-Little said.
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
Fundraisers and "internal resources" will be used to reach the $75 million needed for the building, which will improve technology and expand class sizes to address the current physician shortage in Kansas.
"[The subcommittee is] trying to get to a point somewhere that allows our students to be here and have it affordable, and yet for us to continue to do the things that we think will enhance the quality of education here," Gray-Little said.
SUMMER CONSTRUCTION
She hopes that the induction will happen before the end of the semester so the next Senate can be productive.
"As we construct the new facilities, it allows us to expand the number of physicians to address the shortage and that expansion would take place partly at the Medical Center in Kansas City and then partly at the Wichita campus," Gray-Little said.
"That Student Senate, as part of a University governance overall, will be able to work effectively with all the other components of the University,
This summer there will be several construction projects, including the continued renovation of Jayhawk Boulevard, the new School of Business and engineering buildings, and new residence halls on Daisy Hill.
The higher education budget that was approved by the Kansas Senate included many of the University's priorities, including returning the salary funds that had been previously cut and partial funds for the medical educational building at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The budget didn't include funds for a Translational Chemical Biology Institute that Kansas requested, but Gray-Little said that the administration is working with legislators to get funding
BUDGET
The Senate subcommittee that creates tuition proposals is still working on the tuition and funding recommendations it will make for next year, but Gray-Little said that the Senate's return of the salary cuts could have an impact on future increases. She said a lot of consideration is given to affordability and the goals of the University.

OSA designer wins best student employee
DUNCAN MARSHALL news@kansan.com
At a banquet last Tuesday, Emily Grigone, a senior from St. Louis, was honored as the best student employee at the University of Kansas. According to her coworkers, Grigone's graphic designing for the Office of Study Abroad (OSA) has helped make the office and the information it releases more appealing.
"All she is expected to do is create brochures," said Grigone's supervisor Melody Stratton. "She has done a lot more than that. She totally redesigned our newsletters and she voluntarily created a 15-page creative brief to change all of the branding and marketing in our office."
Grigone said it's a great feeling seeing her work around campus and knowing that it might help someone make a decision to study

"This award as well as Melody's constant encouragement has built up my confidence and morale a ton." Grigone said. "I think it's really necessary to have that in an office setting."
Grigone received $500 for winning the award and was also entered in the National Student Employee of the Year competition, coordinated by the National Student Employee Association. The winner receives a $1,000 prize and will be released later this year. In addition to the check, Emily, as well as the other finalists, received a solid brass layhawk, a layhawk pin and a certificate of recognition.
Grigone said she was very flattered to hear that she was nominated for the award by
Nominations for the award were taken from Dec. 1 through Jan. 31. A student, in order to be nominated for the award, must be enrolled at the University, have a minimum 2.5 GPA and must be employed by the same department for at least four months. The nominations are then reviewed and narrowed down to four finalists and one winner.
"It was an amazing feeling for sure, having someone express those feelings about yourself and feeling like I was that important," she said.
"Her work gets more people in to see the peer-advisors," said Grigone's coworker Courtney Moore, a senior from Wichita. "She has just been great. She always had a positive attitude and she is just so much fun to work with."
her supervisor Stratton.
Both Stratton and Moore said Grigone never shows any sign of stress and can always be counted on to meet deadlines.
Grigone's co-workers had nothing but praise for her.
"She is never flustered and always calm," Moore said. "Whenever we are getting close to a deadline I never really feel worried because she always seems to have everything under control."

Bill to expand Kansas autism insurance
KATE MILLER
KATE MILLER news@kansan.com
House Bill 2744 was signed by Brownback at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus. The bill mandates that state-funded insurance agencies provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in any covered child under the age of 12. This coverage includes 25 hours a week of applied behavioral analysis treatment, as well as speech and occupational therapy.
University alumna Elizabeth Boresow was present at the signing. As an advocate for increased trauma coverage and research, she was thrilled to witness the signing of the bill.
"A lot of people have been working very hard on this for probably about six, seven years now," she said. "We were able to see a lot of the people who came back here to Overland Park. It happened; it's something we've been trying to stress the importance of for many years and the point where we switched about talking about it to actually seeing it happen was really neat."
gm. happen was really neat."
Boresow, who graduated last May with a degree in music therapy, has ASD. While attending the University, she was active in autism education and awareness as an accessibility ambassador at the Office for Institutional Opportunity and Access.
Julie Loring was among those that Boresow worked with. Loring, the achievement and access advisor for the University, initiated the Spectrum Program for the School of Education. This program is a support group for students with ASD.
"It's based on the social group work model of development of social skills," Loring explained. "We don't do social skills training. We help students to learn by experiencing in a social setting, a small group, what other students have done or are interested in. Students have said that it's the first place where they can come into a room and say, 'I don't have to explain myself.'"
The Spectrum Program is led by doctoral student Katie Sharp. In the program, she mostly helps students cope with the transition from high school to college.
"What surprised me most about 'working with these students is that there is no one stereotypical picture of someone on the spectrum," she said. "Everyone has their own
unique strengths and differences and levels of impairment as well. It's been really rewarding; I've really grown fond of everyone that I work with."
Currently, 25 to 30 students are registered with the Academic Achievement and Access Center, according to Loring. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 68 children today has been identified with ASD, which means that the number of students with the disorder on campus is likely far larger.
"A lot of people have been working very hard on this for probably about six, seven years now."
ELIZABETH BORESOW University alumna
"Consistently, we've increased the number of students on the spectrum who are registered with this office," Loring said. "There are students that would rather not be bothered with this office or they don't want to be affiliated with having a disability when they are enormously gifted."
Loring explained that most of the difficulties that students with autism face entering a university are similar to those
every freshman faces — the enormity of the school, figuring out housing and dining and getting to class.
"For any undergrad, disability or not, it can be an overwhelming experience," Loring said. "[Students with autism] want the college experience just like any college student, but their college experience is as unique as every other student's unique experience of college. Their goals and dreams are the same, just different."
As a student with autism, Boresow faced her own unique difficulties, although not incredibly severe.
"When I started at KU, it was definitely tough. I had to seek out accommodations," she said. "My accommodations aren't too difficult, so generally speaking I didn't have any problems with dorm rooms and classes, but I know it was difficult for
other students who required more complicated things, such as lower desk or chair height."
Boresow said IOA played a large role in improving the opportunities for all those with disabilities on campus, not just those with autism.
"Partway through [my time at KU] the administration created the IOA, and things started to change," she said. "Accessibility became not just something you had to do, the bare minimum when someone
requested it — they're really trying now and they're doing a good job."
However, Boresow believes that more changes will need to be made in the future. As a music therapist who works with older people with autism, the bill's age limit on insurance is something she hopes will be lifted.
"I recognize that in order for [the bill] to be passed there had to be sacrifices," she explained. "As a professional, I work with a lot of people who are older than twelve and I think that there is much potential for people to continue learning and benefiting after age twelve. Besides 12- to 18-year-olds, you have a whole population of people who are adults and still need help."
In regards to the University, Loring advised more education and awareness across campus for ASD.
"I think all people need to be more sensitive about differences, having some degree of open-mindedness," she said. "I know college students are here to learn more and I would encourage them to learn more about differences, different populations and to expand their thinking about disability from the obvious blind, deaf, and wheelchair user to understanding more about invisible disabilities."

PG&E pleads not guilty in fatal pipeline blast
"We want all of our customers to know that we're working hard to build the safest and most reliable gas system in America," the company's statement said. "The legal process will ensure that all of the facts related to this tragic event are fully reviewed."
Prosecutors allege that PG&E knowingly relied on erroneous and incomplete information when assessing the safety of the pipeline that eventually ruptured and sparked a fireball that destroyed 38 homes, killed eight people and injured dozens of others. Nearly four years later, the neighborhood is still recovering.
U. S. prosecutors previously investigated Olympic Pipe Line Co. in Washington state after an explosion in 1999 killed three people in a public park in Bellingham.
That investigation ultimately resulted in prison or probation terms for three company officials and a settlement requiring $112 million in penalties and safety improvements.
It is rare but not unprecedented for a pipeline company to be charged with criminal safety laws.
San Bruno city officials hailed the ruling as a positive step and said they believed
No individual PG&E employees have been charged criminally. Prosecutors could file superseding indictments naming individuals if the investigation warrants.
One hundred and four years ago, KU began offering electric trolley car service on and off campus. It cost five cents to ride, and was a part of public campus transportation for 23 years.
U. S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero noted prosecutors' request to increase the maximum fine PG&E could face to more than $6 million, if the court the company somehow benefited financially or saved money as a result of criminal misconduct.

As survivors of the blast looked on, attorneys for California's largest utility entered the plea in federal court in San Francisco to 12 felony violations of federal pipeline safety laws.
SAN FRANCISCO --- Pacific Gas & Electric Co. pleaded not guilty Monday to a dozen felony charges stemming from alleged safety violations in a deadly 2010 natural gas pipeline explosion that leveled a suburban neighborhood in the San Francisco Bay Area.

PG&E said in a statement the company is holding itself accountable and does not believe any employee intentionally violated federal regulations.
"We look forward to PG&E being fined the maximum amount allowed by law to send a message not only to that corporation but to the industry," San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson said.
Gray-Little said that the administration should have time to come up with a plan to address the parking issues that the construction has caused. She also said that she looks forward to the completion of the projects because of the improvements the renovations will have on campus.
["It'll be] better in appearance, better in functionality, and I think in terms of access and safety," Gray-Little said.

Obama visit is an honor to Topeka schools
Thursday it was announced that First Lady Michelle Obama would speak at the USD 501 high school graduation in Topeka. This school district covers the five Topeka public high schools, including my alma mater, Topeka West. Usually I'm exceptionally proud to be from Topeka West and USD 501. I got a great education there, and I still am in contact with several of my teachers and classmates since graduating. However, over the last week I've been embarrassed to be associated with these schools.
You see, there is a very vocal group of students and families who do not want Obama at the graduation. In fact, they started an online petition that, as of Monday afternoon, had accumulated 2.212 signatures. The reasons given have varied widely, but most come down to the logistics of the
event. In recent years the USD 501 graduates have been conducted separately, with each school getting a time slot to honor its graduates. Because of Obama's visit, the five high schools' graduations will be combined into one graduation.
This leads to many sudden changes, including that the ceremony will inevitably take longer, students will have a limit on the number of guests they can bring and security will be much tighter than past years. More minor, yet expensive, changes include correcting graduation invitations with the new time and altering party plans and reservations
By Anna Wenner
opinion@kansan.com
While these are valid reasons to be concerned, it has been roughly five days since Obama's visit was confirmed. Since the announcement rumors have run rampant about supposed changes to the graduation,
when in fact, very little has been decided for sure. In particular a rumor was going around that said there would be a limit of four tickets per graduate for family and friends. It was funny to me that this outraged so many people, as many high school graduations around the state already have rules like this in place. Even so, it's one thing to complain to your friends about changes in the graduation — it's quite another thing to start or sign an online petition about it. One is a way to vent frustration over uncertainties while the other is a way to embarrass your
high school, school district and state on a national scale
The biggest concern that I've heard expressed by angry students and parents is that the graduates will be overshadowed by Obama's visit. For many in USD 501, this graduation will be the only graduation that these students attend, so I do understand the concern. However, what I think most fail to realize that they're looking at Obama's visit the wrong way. It's not about overshadowing graduates, it's about lifting them up into a national spotlight. Obama chose USD 501 because of the coinciding 60th anniversary of the Topeka Brown vs. Board of Education decision, a legal end to segregation in schools. For a brief moment the USD 501 graduation was noticed in a positive way, as a celebration both of graduates and of the Brown vs. Board decision. Now the
national media has instead latched onto the Topeka schools because of their rejection of the First Lady's visit.
I was at the Topeka West graduation three years ago, and all I really remember was concentrating so that I didn't trip while I walked across the stage. I would have given anything to remember Michelle Obama congratulating my class on the hard work that we did. Even if that "anything" involved a little inconvenience or change. I hope that Obama speaks at the graduation even with all of the negativity surrounding it. If you're reading this and you don't want to attend graduation because of the changes, I'd be overjoyed to take your ticket.

Law school not the best post-grad option for all
Each spring, hundreds of new graduates prepare to enter law school the following fall. Enticed by the recruiting materials of law schools professing high post-grad employment rates, and encouraged by sexy portrayals of the legal profession in Hollywood, these young and innocent students enter their 11 year bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, only to leave the same law school three years later noticeably devoid of creativity, humor or even a soul. Why the profound change? What is it about law school that makes it like Azkaban?
Nothing in particular. For the most part, law school is as it has been for the past century or so. The problem is students who settle on law school as a post-grad option without fully considering their choice. Luckily, they have me, so below I outline some of the most common reasons for going to law school. If any of these are your reasons, you should seriously rethink your life.
Being a lawyer looks cool
Being a lawyer looks cool If somehow you managed to graduate both high school and college while still believing that everything you see in a movie or on TV is true, the "real world" is sure to disappoint. Law school is not like it seems in the movies, and being a lawyer is not like it seems on "Franklin & Bash." For the most part, it's really, really boring. There's lots of reading and research involved, wading through historical case law to determine the evolution and
By Preston Bukaty opinion@kansan.com
application of today's current statutory framework. There's lots of writing involved too, but not the cheeky, fun kind you're reading right now. In short, you won't be shining in a suit in front of your peers — you'll be huddled in the library in sweatpants on a Saturday night.
Being a lawyer pays well
Being a lawyer pays well. This may have been true in the '80s or '90s, but being a lawyer doesn't pay too well anymore. As an associate attorney, I'd be looking at 60- to 70-hour work weeks, if not more, for a paycheck that's nowhere near the sixfigure estimate most of my friends assume I'll be making. So deep down, is it really worth it to work twice as hard as my friends if I'm not making twice as much as them? I'd rather work 40 hours a week for $40,000 than 80 hours a week for $50,000. The only reason to work that much more for that little bump in a salary is if you really love the legal profession.
A law degree is applicable anywhere
Another oft-toted maxim from a bygone era. Sure, years ago a law graduate could transition to nearly any job, because the degree signified completion of a post-grad curriculum, but now the economy is so specialized that only law firms are really looking for law degrees. The fact is that law school trains you for a particular career. So you could spend three years at law school hoping that your
JD will get you a job almost anywhere, but the fact is there's another applicant who's younger, cheaper and has a more applicable degree
You think your undergrad degree is useless or you don't
KNOW WHAT CASE TO DO
There are times in life where you may not know how to proceed, but you'll be forced to choose a path, any path, to see where it takes you. This isn't one of those times. Law school costs three years and somewhere around $50,000 or more. If you're not sure who you are as a person, what type of career you want or what to do with your life, law school isn't the place to sort that out. There are much cheaper ways to resolve your personal crises, and they won't stick you with crippling student loan debt.
You actually want to be a lawyer
Do you enjoy reading legal cases and statutes? Long working hours? Have you sat in on a law class, or perhaps worked for a law office to see what it's like? Law school is ultimately a huge commitment, and a legal career is incredibly challenging. Only after careful consideration of the costs, and a reaffirmed dedication to a lifetime of working with our legal system should you pursue law school. Heed my advice, or risk ending up like me: cynical, dejected and still unemployed.

Be clear about whether it's a booty call or more
Nowadays, it's hard to tell whether a guy is actually into you, or whether he's just into what you have to offer him. Booty calls in college seem to be more popular than not, and though some girls might be OK with being a booty call, I would venture to say most girls don't even know they are one. I think there are three major signs that tell you whether he's calling you or your booty.
First of all, the biggest sign is he doesn't make time to see you until after 10 p.m. This is like a flashing sign screaming. "Booty call!" We all know what goes on after 10, and it's not dinner and good conversation. He's well aware of this too. If you really like him and want to be more than a booty call, refuse to go over after 10. Pigs fly about as often as booty calls turn into girlfriends.
Secondly, it's a bad sign if he doesn't inquire about your life. Why didn't he ask your major and what you want to do with your life? He doesn't care. Booty calls ask deeper, more important questions like if you are busy tonight, if you are "in the mood," and what positions you like. You know, to get to know the real you.
By Kayla Soper
opinion@kansan.com
Lastly, he hides you from his
friends. If you only have met his best friend, that's probably because he or she is the only person he trusts to keep you a secret. If a guy likes you, he will want more than his best friend and his bed to meet you. A big difference between girlfriend material and booty call material is that a girlfriend goes out with him (and all his friends) and then goes home with him, while a booty call just goes home with him.
I'm not ragging on booty calls or judging anyone who chooses to have sex casually. I just hope both guys and girls are aware of what their situation is, instead of hoping it's something it's not. It's your decision if you want to be Miss Right or Miss Tonight — just make sure you and your partner are on the same page.

Lawrence citizens celebrated Earth Day, today's holiday, with a parade and festival on Saturday to raise awareness of the population's effect on the environment.
Lawrencians sat along Massachusetts Street watching the parade and celebrating. Kids rode bicycles and students played live music as people walked down Mass St. to South Park for the festival.Activities included face painting, games and exhibits about land preservation, recycling and energy conservation.
About 60 organizations participated in the festival. The groups gave out free plant seeds and T-shirts and sold eco-friendly products. Many of the groups were University student organizations, such as Environs, KU Student Farm and KU Engineers Without Borders (EWB-KU).
Amy Thompson, president of Environs, said the group evolved with different focuses on projects for four committees: preservation, local food and education, conservation and outreach. Environs works to increase plants on campus, teach environmental-themed lesson plans at preschools and organize a recent recycling drive that brought more than one ton of materials.
Environs wants to bring back the overlap of social justice and environmental justice. Thompson explained the significance of the first Earth Day in 1970 when millions of people came into action,
resulting in the introduction of significant environmental protection laws and changes in American history.
"It's the biggest secular holiday in the world," Thompson said. "I think that it's really important to be present in the community of people and to be part of the Lawrence community."
The KU Student Farm provides students with seeds and gardening tools, and teaches the process of gardening to make it easily accessible and affordable. The organization's farm is located in North Lawrence, just north of Prairie Moon School at 1865 E. 1600 Rd.
Katrina McClure, program coordinator at KU Student Farm, said the Earth Day festival is a great way to learn about supporting the Earth.
"It's a time to share knowledge," McClure said. "All these groups are here to
share knowledge about how they relate to the Earth and the importance of their mission."
KU Engineers Without Borders works collaboratively with the KU Center of Sustainability on local community service projects such as Replant Mount Oread. Members also participate in international projects during the summer, such as finding sustainable engineering solutions in Bolivia.
Students can celebrate Earth Day today by getting involved with these organizations. The Environs are hosting a guided hike at Clinton Lake in celebration of Earth Day on Sunday. EWB-KU is hosting a Hunger Banquet on May 2 to fundraise for the groups trip to Bolivia. Tickets will be on sale in the EWB-KU office in Learned Hall room 3160 and will also be available at the door.

UAW drops appeal of defeat in Volkswagen vote
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
S. J.
gov. Bill Haslam speaks to reporters outside the Capitol in Nashville, Tenn., on April 2. The Republican governor said making a $500 million incentive package to Volkswagen subject to labor talks concluding to the state's satisfaction was not a threat but a "statement of reality."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE. Tenn. — The United Auto Workers (UAW) dropped its appeal of a worker vote against unionizing at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee, a move that the union said should put pressure on Republican politicians to quickly approve incentives the German automaker is seeking to expand its lone U.S. assembly plant.
The prolonged fight over labor issues at the Chattanooga. Tenn., facility appeared headed for a lengthy National Labor Relations Board appeal until the UAW announced an hour before a scheduled hearing that it was ending its challenge. The February vote went against the union 712-626.
Some GOP lawmakers had blamed the appeal for holding up expansion plans at the plant — and the UAW says that perceived obstacle is now out of the way.
"Now they need to step up and do what's right for VW and those workers over there, get the incentives without any strings attached," UAW Regional Director Gary Casteel said in a phone interview.
The appeal had focused on public statements from U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and other GOP officials that the union argued raised fears among workers about the plant's future if they voted to organize.
Union supporters also cafted at revelations that a previous $300 million incentive package from Tennessee had been made contingent on the labor situation there concluding to the satisfaction of the state, where anti-UAW Republicans hold a vast majority.
The UAW says it will now focus on a congressional investigation launched by two House Democrats into the anti-unionization campaign, though it's unclear what that probe will achieve unless it is also taken up by the Democratic-controlled Senate.
volkswagen wants to introduce a German-style works council at the plant to represent both salaried and blue-collar workers, but the company's interpretation of U.S. law has been that it can't do so without the involvement of an independent union.
The company issued a statement welcoming the UAW decision as "an important gesture for a constructive dialogue in Chattanooga." Volkswagen said it will continue to pursue its efforts to establish "a new, innovative form of co-determination in the USA."
Half of Volkswagen's 20-member supervisory board is made up of worker representatives, including the head of the company's Global Group Works Council . The organization that represents work councils at VW plants around the world called on Tennessee officials to "create conditions that provide Volkswagen with the economic basis for safeguarding existing jobs in Chattanooga over the long term and for creating new ones."
"The UAW has taken the first step and all those responsible in the USA must now look to the future and pull in the same direction," the Works Council statement said.
Corker and Haslam oppose UAW expanding its reach in Tennessee, arguing that a union win at Volkswagen would hurt the state's ability to attract other manufacturers and suppliers. The vote proved a setback for the UAW, which hopes to expand to foreign-owned auto plants in the
U. S., particularly those in the South.
Haslam told reporters on Monday that he was eager to resume negotiations with Volkswagen for the first time since January.
The governor said that the timing of any incentive package would be linked to the company's plans for the plant, and that it was unclear whether the state Legislature would have to be called back into session to approve the subsidies.
sion to approve the subsidies. Haslam also acknowledged that the end of the NLRB case does not preclude future union involvement in the plant.
"Obviously at any point in time, if there's an election if the UAW wins, they win," Haslam said. "Our concern here was there was a clear election and they hadn't won."
Corker, a former Chattanooga mayor, was particularly vocal during the three-day union
vote in February, predicting the company would announce an expansion within two weeks of workers rejecting the union.
The senator later blamed the UAW appeal — and the resulting delay in certifying the results of the union election — for putting a hold on expansion talks at the plant. Corker and Haslam both fought the union's efforts to compel them to produce documents and appear at NLRB hearings as part
of the appeal.
the appeal.
"It's a shame the UAW slowed the momentum on our expansion conversations with Volkswagen, but now it's time for VW, our state and our community to re-engage and move forward with bringing additional jobs to Chattanooga," Corker said in a statement.

COMMENTARY
NBA rule change could help Kansas basketball
A monumental change could be coming soon to college basketball, and it's one that could boost the success of KU basketball on the court and in recruiting.
NCAA President Mark Emmert discussed the possible change to the age limit with NBA commissioner Adam Silver and the league's team owners during a two-day meeting last week. Other ideas voiced by owners ranged from a new lottery system to abolishing conferences, but Silver's number one order of business was making it known that he is keen on changing the age limit soon.
The NBA is considering moving its age-minimum requirement to enter the draft from 19 years old to 20 years old, a huge leap from 10 years ago when graduating high school players could turn pro and forgo college.
Future lottery picks in 2015 can breathe a sigh of relief, as the earliest this rule would be implemented is for the 2016 NBA draft. This means star recruits Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre will still have the option of going pro after their freshman seasons here, but a lot lies between now and that decision.
How this new rule could help KU basketball next year
Over the past five years Self has gotten top-10 recruits Xavier Henry, Josh Selby, Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embid. Place Cliff Alexander on top of that, and it totals five top-10 recruits in six years. A factor that the first four have in common is that they all left for the NBA draft after their freshman seasons, and Alexander could decide to follow that path as well.
Imagine though what could have been for those KU teams in the tournament had those players stayed another year. The combination of Wiggins, Embiid and Alexander alone could have brought a championship back to the Jayhawks next season. Add the other pieces Kansas has coming back, and I don't think we can lose. I'm serious too, even without Wichita State's schedule.
depends on whether our program is able to sign another solid core of top-ranked recruits. We're spoiled here at Kansas from the recruits Bill Self brings in every year, but if he's able to duplicate the phenomenal recruiting he's done in the past, then Kansas may have even better teams in the future.
By Matt Corte sports@kansan.com
Sadly there's no way of capturing what those freshman might have done during their sophomore seasons, but not all was lost from their decision to leave early.
In fact, because of them, players will want to come to Kansas more than ever. Seeing the overall presence of Kansas players grow in the NBA along with Self's ability to transitions players from college to the NBA should entice high school players to choose Kansas for two years.
Pair this with the top-end talent players will compete against for two years not only in games but every day in practice, and the basketball team should have no problem attracting highly-rated recruits for the next decade.
Changing the league's age-minimum requirement to 20 is still not a forgone conclusion, however, knowing the NCAA will have no problem keeping its star players in college for two years means the new rule will no doubt be established.
When the NBA finally does decide to change the league's age minimum, buckle your seatbelt because Allen Fieldhouse will host some of the best teams Kansas has ever had to offer.

Cleveland Indians' Jason Kipnis watches his two-run home run off Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie in the sixth inning on Monday in Cleveland.
Indians power over Royals in 4-3 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley hit two-run homers, powering the Cleveland Indians over the Kansas City Royals 4-3 Monday night when a fearless squirrel ran around Progressive Field and provided some extra entertainment.
Kipnis connected in the sixth inning off Jeremy Guthrie (2-1), overcoming a 3-2 deficit. Brantley provided Cleveland a 2-0 lead in the fourth.
Jason Giambi went hitless in four at-bats in his season debut. He missed Cleveland's first 18 games with a broken rib.
Zach McAllister (3-0) gave up six hits and overcame three errors — one on his errant throw. Marc Rzepczynski and Cody Allen pitched a hitless inning each, and closer John Axford worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save.
Nick Swisher led off the sixth with his second double, and Kipnis followed with his third homer, a drive into the seats in right-center. Kipnis is 8 of 13 (.615) with two homers and six RBIs off Guthrie, who except for the home runs pitched effectively for six 1-3 innings.
Alex Gordon and Omar Infante each had two of the Royals six hits.
Indians designated hitter
fore it was shooed into the Indians' center-field bullpen.
The game was momentarily delayed in the second inning when a squirrel ran onto the field. Swisher motioned for the critter to run to him, but it darted past and into the outfield grass. The squirrel was directed inside the Royals bullpen by members of the grounds crew, but the slippery rodent escaped and returned for another scamper to the delight of the crowd of 10,789. The pesky intruder hung around for another inning be-
The squirrel perched on a ledge for several minutes before jumping the wall into the Heritage Park monument area. Helped by McAllister's throwing error, the Royals scored three runs in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead.
Mike Moustakas doubled to open the inning and scored when diving center fielder Michael Bourn couldn't squeeze a sinking liner by Alcides Escobar. Jarrod Dyson followed with a bunt toward third that McAllister fielded cleanly before throwing wildly past first, allowing Escobar to score. One out later, Infante's RBI single put the Royals in front.
Brantley connected in the fourth for his team-leading fourth homer, and second in two days.

ALOHA FROM PAGE 10
a really good team." Eldredge said. "That game right there was really the state championship."
Protocio and the Mid-Pacific Institute were able to defeat Punahou twice during the regular season, but hadn't been able to put an end to their post-season dominance.
Punahou was protecting a small lead in the final inning of the game when Protacio doubled on a hard line drive in the gap. Suiter in center and Eldredge behind the plate began to wonder if Punahou's dominance was coming to an end.
"They won a lot of state titles," Protacio said, "and I kind of envy that. But off the field, I respected what they were doing."
Punahou went on to win their seventh straight state title with an easy victory in the title game.
Standing at second base as the game-tying run, Protacio wondered the same thing, hoping his team could score him from third. The following batter laced a single up the middle, and Protacio saw his chance to tie the game. Protacio got a good jump on the ball, but was held up by his third base coach. The next batter recorded the last out of the game and stranded Protacio at third, ending Mid-Pacific's chances of dethroning Punahou.
"Looking back at that game, I remember being a little pissed off at my coach for holding me up," Protacio said.
A similar situation took place during Robert Kahana's sophomore season at James Campbell High School. Campbell drew Punahou in the first round of the state tournament. Kahana was on the mound that day in what was the biggest start of his young career at the time.
Kahana's teammate bobbled a routine catch and two runners were able to score because the pop up was so high in the air. Kahana threw the rest of the game and put up zeroes the entire way, but the offense was unable to rally behind him, as they fell to Punahou 2-0.
中
When Protacio, Suiter and Kahana arrived in Lawrence to join Eldredge, there were four highly competitive Hawaiian ballplayers from three rival schools all on the same team. They spent four years seeing each other in different uniforms. Now, they had to forget about the past rivalry and become a unit.
The four Hawaiians have set aside their rivalries and truly become a family that represents Hawaii 3,800 miles away from home.
"The four of us play for Hawaii," Kahana explained. "When people from California say where they're from they say their hometown. We say we're from Hawaii."
HAWAIIAN ROYALTY
Baseball in Hawaii got its start with the Eldredge family when Pop Eldredge became the athletic director for the Pioneer Mill Company in Lahaina, Hawaii. In 1927, Eldredge formed Hawaiis first youth baseball league, 20 years before the Little League World Series began.
"In Hawaii baseball, there is one royal family." Price explained. "The Eldredge name is the greatest name in Hawaii baseball."
In 1996, USA Baseball presented the Hawaii Youth Baseball Family of the Year award to the Eldredge family. Baseball America also named the Eldredges the number one baseball family in Hawaii. Local newspaper quickly followed suit.
"When people from California say where they're from they say their hometown. We say we're from Hawaii."
ROBERT KAHANA Junior pitcher
The Eldredge family has been working to give back and continues to honor their family name.
"It's a huge honor," Dave Eldredge said. "We love giving back to our community. It's all about aloha and making our family proud."
The Eldredge family has been passing down aloha. Every member of the Eldredge family has had an impact on the sport and the Hawaiians who played it.
When Ka'iana's grandfather passed away halfway through his senior year at Punahou, the entire Hawaiian baseball community was mourned with the Eldredge family.
Later that year, as Kaiana played for a state championship, Pop's presence was felt more than ever. Kai's grandfather wore the number 13 during his playing days. Punahou scored 13 runs in that game with Kaiana driving in the 13th run. Dave Eldredge said the moment mean a lot to
the family, like his father was watching over Kaiana that day.
Kai'iana has kept the family tradition going not only in playing baseball, but also in the position he plays. Kai's father and grandfather, Pal were both catchers for Brigham Young University.
"Everyone in my family was a catcher," Ka'iana said. "I started my Kansas career out in the infield, but I was able to move back behind the dish where I'm more comfortable in my junior season."
The Eldredge family has had an everlasting impact on baseball in Hawaii. They have spread aloha throughout the island and down the line of their family tree.
Ka'ianna Eldredge has continued his family's tradition, anchoring the Kansas Jayhawks baseball team both on and off the field.
2014 AND BEYOND
Hawaii is more than just a home for the four. It represents their culture, their beliefs and their values. Hawaii has molded them into the men that they are now. Hawaii has given them the gift of aloha, and they have spent their entire lives working to spread it.
For now, the four have a job to do. They are four cornerstones on a division one power conference baseball team that hopes to make a run at a Big 12 conference title.
"You never really know how good you have it on the islands until you leave." Protacio said with a smile. "Hawaii is my home, I love it there."
"I want to go back later in life," Eldredge said. "Hawaii is paradise, it's expensive paradise, but definitely somewhere I would like to live after baseball."
When Price started going to Hawaii, he knew that he wanted to scout players. He knew that he wanted to make Kansas a better baseball team. But he didn't know that he was going to build a pipeline that has kept top talent coming to Lawrence. He didn't realize the lessons he would learn, and the culture he would bring back with him.
Price has learned the meaning of aloha. He has accepted it into his life and it has helped him in recruiting. And it started a tradition that will remain a part of Kansas baseball long after their in uniform.
"Aloha is what we value most as Hawaiians." Eldredge explained. "It's who we are."

Mejia and Wright lead Mets over Cardinals 2-0
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jenrry Meja pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning, David Wright delivered another key hit and the New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 Monday night.
Wright lined an early RBI single that extended his hitting streak to 13 games and Kyle Farnsworth earned his first save as the New York's newest closer.
On an evening when the Mets debuted new camouflage tops to salute the military, they looked sharp. The Cardinals lost for the third time in four games.
Mejia (3-0) bounced back well from a torn blister on his right middle finger that limited him to five innings in his last start. The 24-year-old righty began the game by getting Matt Carpenter to
look at three straight strikes, and rarely was in trouble.
Mejia struck out seven in 6 2-3 innings and walked three. Scott Rice and Carlos Torres each got two outs before Farnsworth, the Mets' third closer this year, pitched the ninth for his first save.
Tyler Lyons (0-1) lost in his first major league game of the season. Promoted from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day to take the rotation spot of injured Joe Kelly, he allowed two runs and six hits in six innings.
A 26-year-old lefty with a big-breaking slider, Lyons struck out seven. He's another in the long line of tall, homegrown pitchers developed by the Cardinals, and went 2-4 last year in his first big league season.
Lyons struck out the first two batters in the third before Eric Young Jr. singled for

the Mets' first hit. Slumping Curtis Granderson was hit by a pitch and Wright singled Granderson home for a 1-0 lead.
Lyons' throwing error on a tapper set up another run in the sixth. Daniel Murphy walked, later stole third and scored on a single by Travis d'Arnaud.
Mejia escaped his biggest jam in the sixth when, with runners at the corners and one out, he retired Matt Holliday on a popup and Matt Adams on a grounder.
The previous inning, the Mets backed Mejia with a sweet double play. Shortstop Ruben Tejada dived to stop Jon lay's grounder up the middle and slipped to Murphy, and the second baseman made a bachanded catch and spun quickly for the relay.
Kansas softball has three more series in the regular season, two of which are away. This weekend's games are in Waco, Tex., against Baylor. The following series is hosted by the University of Texas in Austin, Tex., May 2-4. The last series for the Jayhawks is at home at Arrocha Ballpark May 9-11 against Iowa State.
The next two teams Kansas face are both ranked opponents. Baylor is third in the Big 12 and No. 13 in the country. Texas is second in the Big 12 and is No. 26 nationally. Kansas is in fifth place in the Big 12 and No. 37 in the country.
Kansas softball in the homestretch
The final series for Kansas, against Iowa State should be easier. The Cyclones are sitting less in the Big 12 with a 1-8 conference record. Their lone conference win came against Oklahoma State, who is ranked second to last in the conference.
Facing ranked opponents isn't new to the team. Kansas upset up no No. 16 Kentucky. The Jayhawks held their own against No. 14 Nebraska and No. 15 Oklahoma.

THE MORNING BREW
Moose and the Royals swing their way to five-game streak
The Moose is loose. At least that's what it seems as of late. The Kansas City Royals' third baseman Mike Moustakas is one of the main reasons for the Royals' recent success, including a five-game win streak, which ended on Sunday. The Royals have since lost two consecutive games.
It took six games and 24 at bats before Moustakas got a measly single in the ninth inning that would receive a standing ovation out of pity in Kauffman Stadium. It took another six games before Moose went yard, in a clutch home run as a pinch hitter in the eleventh, to beat the Houston Astros on the road.
By Shane Jackson
sports@kansan.com
Since that crack of the bat, it seems as if Moose and the Royals have been on a whole different level. The late-game road heroes by the lefty helped the Royals win game two at Minute Maid Park and would turn into a five-game win streak, after beginning the year 4-8. Now they sit in second place in the American League Central after a slow
start out of the gates and Moose leads the team in home runs.
To be fair, Moose was not the only boy in blue that had gotten off to a slow start at the plate. He became the scapegoat in what was beginning to look like another disappointing season from the former second overall pick in the 2007 draft. Moose saw a stint in the minors, after underperforming in the big leagues again last year, and like the franchise, he understood the importance of 2014.
With perhaps a defining year around the corner, Moose became a new man in the offseason. He shed some excess
weight and got married. He also worked on his swing in Venezuela with hitting Coach Pedro Grifol. Moose, who was often criticized as pulling too often, worked on becoming more of a complete hitter.
It seemed as if the new approach transitioned into spring training, as Moose came alive in the Cactus
THE BREW
League hitting a batting average of .429 with four home runs and 19 runs batted in. But as we saw last year, when the third baseman came alive in spring training, he stumbled out of the gates in the regular season.
Unlike last year, Moose has recovered a lot faster from a sluggish start. Even though it is a very small sample size, it's reassuring to see from one of the cornerstones of the franchise. It's vital that Moose takes that next step as a premier bat in this lineup if the Royals have any hopes of making the postseason for the first time since 1985.
As his first draft pick in the Royals regime, General Manager Dayton Moore selected Moustakas second overall in the 2007 draft. He picked Moustakas, a shortstop at Chatsworth High School, ahead of MLB all-stars Matt Wieters, Jas o n Heyward and others, purely based on the potential power scouts raved about.
Now in his fourth year of his major league career, fans have yet to see the power come alive, as he has just 39 bombs in his 390 game career, with 20 home runs coming in 2012. Still, fans remain optimistic that Moustakas' recent success is him turning the corner. They must to have that mindset because their season, and ultimately his career, may just depend on it.

RUNNING In show of defiance, 32,000 run Boston Marathon
No events
With the names of the victims scrawled on their bodies or their race bibs, more than 32,000 people crossed the starting line Monday at the Boston Marathon in a powerful show of defiance a year after the deadly bombing.
Monday
BOSTON — Some ran to honor the dead and wounded. Others did it to prove something about their sport, the city or their country. And
some were out to prove something to themselves.
Murray, a 62-year-old from Atlanta who finished just before the explosions last year and came back to run again. "When they try to take our freedom and our democracy, we come back stronger."
The two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the end of the 26.2-mile course last year killed three people and wounded more than 260 in a hellish spectacle of
clamps, smoke and broken glass. The runners this time hit the streets under extraordinary security that included a battery of surveillance cameras, more than 90 bomb-sniffing dogs and officers posted on roofs.
By late afternoon, as runners continued to drag themselves across the finish line more than six hours into the race, state emergency officials reported no security threats, other than some unattended bags.
Meb Kef Zeighi, a 38-year-old, became the first American in 31 years to win the men's race.
As he was presented with the trophy and laurel wreath, "The Star-Spangled Banner" echoed over Boyleston Street, where the explosions rang out a year ago.
Later in the day Monday, at 2:49
p.m., the time the bombs went off,
a moment of silence was observed at

THE HAWAIIAN PIPELINE
Four players who learned about teamwork and the meaning of "aloha."

BILLIE CABRERA
As Ka'iana Eldredge squatted behind home plate on a cool February day during his junior season, he paused. Eldredge looked to his eight teammates on the field in front of him and saw something different. He saw something he never expected at the University of Kansas.
Eldredge's eyes went from his pitcher, to his second baseman and finally his left fielder. Robert Kahana, Justin Protocio and Michael Suiter — three of Eldredge's teammates, three of his best friends and three fellow Hawaiians.
"I had to pause." Eldredge said. "I was just sitting behind the dish, and it was just one of those things you have to pause and think about. You're here at the University of Kansas — nowhere near Hawaii — and you have four local boys in the starting lineup. It's a chicken skin, goosebump kind of moment"
These four ballplayers are products of a pipeline. A pipeline that extends 3,800 miles from Lawrence, Kan., to Hawaii. A pipeline that Kansas coach Ritch Price started during his time in California and continues to use in his 12th season with the lawhaws.
FROM PARADISE TO KANSAS
In the late '90s Jack Gifford, the founder of Maxim Integrated Products, invited Price to help him run a baseball camp in Hawaii. Price was the only person invited not from California.
MICHAEL SUITER Junior outfielder
A pipeline that has been formed with not just baseball in mind. A pipeline that's been made with trust, compassion and honor. A pipeline that has started a family.
Price stepped off the plane in Hawaii for the first time and immediately knew this trip would be unlike any hed been on before. Price started building connections and meeting people.
Most importantly, he began learning the meaning of "aloha." He saw how Hawaiians acted, and was blown away by their generosity, compassion and emphasis on family. The true meaning of "aloha."
In 2007, Price was in Hawaii on another recruiting trip. He was scouting Wally Marceli, Hawaii's high school player of the year. Marceli intrigued Price. He wanted this young talent for his Kansas team. When Marceli committed to
Ryan Glover
ROBERT KAHANA Junior pitcher
Kansas, it laid the groundwork for his fellow Hawaiians to follow.
Eldredge quickly learned of Price's devotion to learning and living aloha. When Eldredge came to visit Kansas and Marceli hosted, his decision was easy. Eldredge was to become the second product of the forming pipeline.
Protocio and Kahana had Kansas in their sights early on in their senior seasons. From playing in the Big 12 to having the opportunity to play with Eldredge at the collegiate level, Kansas was the obvious choice for them.
"You're here at the University of Kansas — nowhere near Hawaii — and you have four local boys in the starting lineup."
KA'IANA ELDREDGE
Senior catcher
Just like that, two more Hawaiians were making their way to Kansas via the Ritch Price pipeline. The last Hawaiian to commit was Michael Suiter. Suiter was originally committed to a different program, but when the entire coaching staff left, he reopened his status. Price reached out to Suiter, explaining why the Jayhawks were the best fit for him. Shortly after he uncommitted from his first school, Suiter committed to Kansas, becoming the fifth Hawaiian to play for Price.
"It's not often that you get to pitch to a local boy," Kahana said. "Having Kai' here made my decision a lot easier."
"That started the ball rolling in the direction were in now." Price explained. "In that region of the country, it's all about trust. If one player comes and he has a really good experience, then you get the next player and the next player, and that's exactly what's taken place."
BASEBALL ON THE ISLANDS Eldredge, Suiter and Punahou School were looking to defend their sixth straight state championship in 2010. They made it through the first rounds of the Hawaii state championship tournament with ease. But when the semi-final round came, Justin Protocio and the Mid-Pacific Institute stood in their way from a seven-peat.

ELECTIONS
Student Senate timeline on judicial hearings
EMMA LEGAULT news@kansan.com
After more than two weeks of Student Senate elections discussions — including violations, disqualification, injunctions and hearings — the University Judicial Board could decide today if the Jayhawkers are indeed disqualified or if the coalition was wrongly penalized. Here are the events that led up to today's hearing:
MARCH 30
Jayhawkers allegedly purchase Chipotle for students for campaigning purposes at an event, according to the Elections Commission. No account of the alleged purchase is on the Jayhawkers' financial report for the week of March 24 through 30.
APRIL 8
After hearing complaints against Jayhawkers presented by Grow KU, the Elections Commission decides to disqualify the coalition. The official decision and reasoning
sent by the Commission reads:
2) Jayhawkers was accused of violating 7.4.9.2.6, which should trigger penalties outlined in 7.4.10.6.10, for purchasing food for campaign event. The complaint alleged that on March 30, 2014, Jayhawkers purchased food from Chipotle for a group of students. Witnesses appeared for both sides of the argument.
DECISION: The Commission finds that Jayhawkers violated 7.4.9.2.6 and, as a result, the entire coalition (including all candidates) is disqualified from the election. The Jayhawkers purchased food for the purpose of campaigning, and failed to report those expenditures to the Commission on their weekly financial report. This event unfairly advantaged Jayhawkers over the other coalitions and candidates in the election.
The Jayhawkers argued that they asked attendees of the event to compensate the coalition leadership for the food when they realized the violation of the rules (and prior to
APRIL 9
the hearing). The Commission finds this defense insufficient because the food was still used for campaigning, and is therefore a campaign expense.
Jayhawkers remain on the ballot because they would have had the ability to appeal the decision within 48 hours of the Commission decision, which would given them the opportunity to submit an appeal on Thursday after polls closed. Jake Rapp, the Chair of the Elections Commission, said that because an appeal was pending, they did not want to remove the coalition from the ballot.
Later that day, Jayhawkers submit an official appeal to the Student Senate Court of Appeals. The Jayhawkers said in a news release that "the Elections Commission was mislead by false testimony and found that the Jayhawkers committed a violation of this nature."
The Court of Appeals schedules a hearing for 9 p.m. on Thursday.
Election results are originally scheduled to be released around 5 p.m.
APRIL 10
At 3:15 p.m., the Court of Appeals issues an injunction to postpone the results until the Court reaches a verdict or until 10:48 p.m. on April 14. The Court cites four reasons for the injunction: to protect the integrity of the Court's proceedings in the appeal, to avoid misinforming the student body, to protect the integrity of student government and to announce the decision about the appeal could mean the annulment of the results.
At the 9 p.m. hearing, the Court goes into executive session almost immediately. They announce they will not hear the case because of potential conflicts of interest regarding two members of the Court. It suggests the appeal be taken to the University Judicial Board.
APRIL 13
The @JayhawkersKU Twitter account tweets:
appeal to the University Judicial Board, a hearing should be held later this week or next week."
@"JayhawkersKU: UPDATE: Jayhawkers have submitted an
APRIL 17
The Kansan is notified by Rapp of the hearing time and location — 3 p.m. at the Relays Room in the Burge Union. Rapp said it would be open to the public.
APRIL 18
The Court of Appeals issues another injunction on the results. The Court said the results will be released within 48 hours after the UJB decides to uphold or reverse the Commission's decision.
Later on that day, the Jayhawkers request the hearing be closed. As per University Governance rules, the hearing can only be open to the public if both parties agree. Kristina Maude, the Jayhawkers campaign manager, said that "the two representatives [of Jayhawkers] requested it be closed so they don't get nervous and can present the case fully."
APRIL 23
The UJB is scheduled to hear the appeal at 3 p.m. today. A variety of potential outcomes exist:
Regardless of the decision to overturn or uphold the Commission's decision, if Grow KU or Crimson and True hold the majority of the vote, the winning coalition's executive staff could take office.
If it is upheld and the Jayhawkers hold the majority, there could be an annulment of the results.
If the decision is overturned and the Jayhawkers hold the majority of the election, they may have to pay outstanding fines for
violations, some of which were decided after an April 18 Elections Commission meeting regarding other complaints against the Jayhawkers. Rapp said he would not certify the election until the fines are paid.

The University is participating in the Drug Enforcement Agency's National Take Back Initiative today at Wescoe Beach from 10 a.m. to noon and at Watkins Memorial Health Center from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., allowing anyone to get rid of unwanted and expired prescription drugs. The service will be available again Saturday, April 26 at the Douglas County Law Enforcement Center and the Lawrence Police Department Training Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Lisa Carter, a program coordinator for DCCCA, an outpatient alcohol and drug treatment program in Lawrence, said prescription drug use is a growing trend, particularly among young adults.
"Prescription drugs and addiction to those drugs is probably growing compared to what we saw ten years ago," Carter said. "I think it's prevalent in different age ranges, although in early adulthood I would guess that we see more of it."
"The scary thing is that they are legal, so it's easier for people to access them if they've had a friend who's had them prescribed," she said. "There's a risk there."
Prescription drugs are particularly problematic because they can be obtained illegally and then made available to just about anyone, Carter added.
Recent research on the issue backs up Carter's claims and shows that prescription drug abuse is a rising issue among college-aged students.
A survey conducted by the University of Michigan Health System in 2013 found that one in 10 people aged 14 to 20 have misused prescription painkillers, and they are the second most abused drugs by adolescents in the U.S. The most

University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and former Kansas Senator Bob Dole converse onstage at the Dole Institute of Politics on Tuesday. Dole, a University alumnus, visited Lawrence as part of a tour across Kansas. Dole answered several questions from a large audience and participated in a meet-and-greet.
Former United States Senator Bob Dole made an appearance on the University campus at his namesake on Tuesday, to give thanks to the people of Kansas for having supported him through his career in the House and the Senate through the second half of the 20th century.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who was one of the introductory speakers at the open house, stated that Dole was "a true statesman." The senator spoke about his time enrolled at the University before it was cut short to serve in the United States Army, expressed his gratitude for Kansans' support and answered questions from the audience about his life, his accomplishments and current-day politics.
"Kansas is a great place, and it's home to me." Dole said. "And, you can take the boy out of Kansas, but you can't take Kansas out of the boy."
His career in both the House of Representatives and the Senate include the passing of some significant pieces of legislation from the 1960s to
1996. Dole said that one of his greatest accomplishments in his career was serving on the Greenspan Commission in 1983 and developing a compromise with former N.Y. Dem. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. The compromise between the two senators is a notable contributing factor to the Social Security reform of 1983.
Mitchell Priestess, a sophomore from Olathe, who previously worked at the Dole Institute, said Dole's legislation has had a direct impact on his life, allowing him to obtain employment opportunities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
When questioned by a member of the audience about the challenges that Americans will face in the next ten years, Dole said that there will be a lot of foreign policy challenges over the next year, as well as the development of compromises regarding the Keystone Pipeline. Ultimately, he said, the challenge for the younger generation will be balancing the budget.
Dole said that returning to Kansas to meet his former constituents and visit his

and dedication to service.
"So, if anything, you should take from that, that if you have a big heart, and if you are given talents and if you want to make a difference in the lives of people, you have to give of yourself," Ballard said. "And I think that's what he's done."

Potential roundabout planned for 19th and Naismith
CODY KUIPER
news@kansan.com
City engineers want to replace the four-way intersection at 19th Street and Naismith Drive with a roundabout, as well as placing roundabouts at two other busy intersections in the city: at Kasold Drive and Harvard Road and Wakarusa Drive and Harvard Road.
A few intersections near campus and around Lawrence could have a new look in 2016.
Grants from the state will be necessary to build the roundabouts and city commissioners will consider
approving the engineers' grant applications at their meeting Tuesday evening. The roundabouts would cost $500,000 to $550,000 each and the grant applications ask for $1.3 million in state funds. The rest would be covered by city funds.
Roundabouts are considered to be safer alternatives to traffic-light intersections, as they lower the risk of head-on collisions and high-speed crashes. According to a memo to the city commissioners from City Engineer David Cronin, there have been 41 total crashes at these intersections over the past three years, five of which
"The big thing is the accidents that they do have are less severe because the types of accidents they have and they happen at lower speeds," said Nick Voss, a project engineer with the Public Works department. "Injury accidents happen most often when they are head-on or occur at 90 degree angles."
"The other [reason] why that's something we're looking into is that they efficiently move traffic." Voss said. "Even though they move

resulted in injury.
If the application is approved by the city, a decision on the grant from the state is expected over the summer. If approved, the construction of the roundabouts would begin as early as 2016. The proposed roundabout at 19th and Naismith would be constructed over the summer, while construction on the others would probably take place in a different 4-6 month time frame, Voss said.

Makerspace provides spot for creativity, innovation
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
Inside the industrial building that is home to Lawrence Creates Makerspace, the cement slab floor is speckled with paint and sawdust, evidence that innovators are designing and constructing masterpieces.
Simply described, the Makerspace, 512 E. Ninth St., is a community center equipped with table saws, a 3-D printer, easels and a smorgasbord of other tools and supplies for creative people to collaborate, craft and master new skills.
For $20 each month, members receive a key for 24/7 access to the building, equipment and community provided by the Makerspace.
"I feel like the mind is loosely based on your location," said Alex Whiten, a sophomore from Eudora and member of the Makerspace. "A location like the Makerspace where you're surrounded by art and awesome tools is somewhere your mind can be more creatively motivated."
High vaulted ceilings foster an airy, imaginative environment and sectioned work areas include a woodshop, metal shop, art gallery, technology desk, loft and lounge. Scribbed on a whiteboard in Expo marker is a lengthy list of ingenuious projects in progress.
For Whitten, the Makerspace gives him a place to flex his creative muscle as he is inspired by fellow innovators. Members include retirees, professionals, graduates and a handful of students, but Whitten said he
wishes more of those his own age would join.
As a mechanical engineering major, he said he observes students caught up in the routine of school and deprived of time to create, which is similar to what 2008 graduate Garret Tufte experienced during his time in school.
As Tufte worked toward an English degree, he said he was too preoccupied absorbing information to have a moment to create. Since graduating, he said he's discovered that life is about giving back and doing something meaningful.
"A location like the Maker-space where you're surrounded by art and awesome tools is somewhere your mind can be more creatively motivated."
ALEX WHITTEN Makerspace member
"Having a space like this brings different people into one studio, which allows for communal creation as opposed to the lone artist, madman, sitting in his darkened room," Tufte said.
He took four months to sculpt a face into a piece of marble and he's perfecting a contraption that will tip a bottle to pour a glass of wine.
Meanwhile, Whitten is interested in a project that involves artistically displaying brain waves, an idea spearheaded by co-founder Barbara Kerr, who
is also a distinguished professor of counseling psychology with a research specialty in creativity.
The other co-founder, Eric Kirkendall, a 1973 graduate with geography, urban planning and public administration degrees, said the space can be used for practically anything. Currently displayed are metal sculptures, portraits, vivid paintings and a rack of handmade clothes. All of the art is set to showcase during the Final Fridays art party.
"We want to give people the resources to improve their lives," Kirkendall said. "We want to help our members share their skills with the community."
Kirkendall said current students such as Whitten bring a fresh perspective and energy to the mix of individuals.
For that reason, Kirkendall said scholarships to cover student membership fees will be made available in the future. A program, Lawrence Creates Reuse, will collect reusable items from students during move-out week on Daisy Hill. Items like housewares and electronics will be recycled and sold to fund the scholarships.
In addition to utilizing the space and storing their work, members teach classes every week to other members and nonmembers for a small fee on topics such as sewing, metal work, printing and robotics.
"Some people have described what we have as a drawer of tools," Kirkendall said.

Lawrence Creates Makerspace, 512 E. 9th St., is a community center open to students, retirees and other Lawrence citizens to be creative.
MORE ABOUT MAKERSPACE
Lawrence Creates Reuse is a program coordinated by the Lawrence Creates Makerspace, their fiscal sponsor The Sustainability Action Network and Student Housing to collect reusable items. During the week of May 12 when students are moving out of the dorms, a station will be set up beside the dumpsters to collect housewares, electronics and anything else students can't take away.
"We just really want to keep reusable items out of the dump," Kirkendall said.
Kirkendall said items will be recycled and resold to provide new tools and scholarships for students interested in becoming members of the Makerspace. This involves a $20 monthly fee and attendance to weekly Tuesday meetings.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Friday, April 25. The Makerspace will host an art party as part of Lawrence's Final Fridays. The free event will feature a live band, artists showcasing their work, beverages and grilled sausages.

Senate needs to re-evaluate closed door policy
Today at 3 p.m. the University Judicial Board will hear the appeal of the Jayhawkers coalition regarding its disqualification from the Student Senate election. The meeting was initially open to the public, but at the request of the Jayhawkers, the meeting is now closed.
Roses are red, violets are blue, lilacs smell sweet, I love KU!
According to the Judicial Board rules, closing this hearing is in accordance with its policies.
However, this policy directly violates the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA), a law applicable to the University because it is a public, state-funded institution.
KOMA serves to ensure a transparent government. By allowing a closed meeting, the Judicial Board affirms that what has already become
a long and convoluted Senate elections process will conclude in an equally complex manner.
Typically, the Judicial Board deliberates individual cases of student misconduct. Accordingly, in the instance of an individual student, hearings would not be open to the public for confidentiality reasons.
Judicial Board hearings are considered closed unless all parties agree to open the proceedings, according to section 6.1.2 of the Hearing Phase policy for University Governance.
For the individual student, this policy might make sense. But in the case of University-wide Senate elections, this is precisely opposite of what the policy should be.
Student Senate receives
money from the University and has a direct impact on the lives of students and faculty. Therefore, a hearing regarding alleged campaign violations should be open to the students that these potentially elected officials might soon represent.
Why is a closed meeting even an option for this elections hearing? The students involved in the hearing are either already members of Senate or are campaigning to represent their peers.
These student leaders should be held to the same level of integrity and transparency most would expect of their state and national politicians.
However, it is important to put this year's election in perspective. What started as free Chipotle and free
cappuccinos has transformed into an ethical debate — is it fair to compare our student senators and campus elections to state and federal proceedings?
We think it is. This editorial serves to highlight a fundamental violation of student rights.
How can we as students trust our potential senators if they lock us out of the hearing regarding a breach in policy?
Grow KU and the Jayhawkers both addressed transparency in their mission statements. Before ever taking office, it appears "transparency" only occurs when it is convenient.

Adoption has benefits for both pet and owner
Getting a new pet is an exciting and sometimes difficult decision. Many questions arise, like what kind of pet, what breed and where to get it. Growing up I never had any pets, except for hamsters because my parents were allergic to dogs and cats. I was the girl at the pet shop that played with puppies and kittens, but never left with one. The moment I moved out of my parents' house and moved into my own place in Lawrence, I decided that I was going to get a dog.
Choosing a pet is always a difficult option and should not be taken lightly because owning a pet is a huge responsibility. Many people are faced with the decision of buying pets from a breeder or adopting from a shelter. I originally thought I wanted to get a puppy straight from a breeder because I've always heard that adopted pets were much more difficult to handle. I looked for several types of dogs online that were only a few weeks old, but noticed that dogs from breeders were in the high hundreds to thousands of dollars. The fact that the dog alone was that expensive baffled me.
I didn't want to spend that much money as a college student because I knew all of the other costs that were going to be put into this dog, such as food, vet visits, toys and other amenities dogs need. I started thinking about adoption, but still had my hesitations about
By Cecilia Cho opinion@kansan.com
that decision. I had heard stories of adopted dogs and how they always ended up being more trouble than they were worth because of their lives before and during their stay at shelters. I put my hesitation on the back burner and decided to look up some adoption shelters and see what they had to offer.
My boyfriend and I decided to go to Wayside Waifs in Kansas City due to its large selection of pets and because they are a no-kill shelter. It was eye-opening to see how many pets there were and it made me sad to see that many of them were there for long periods of time. We spent a reasonable amount of time playing with various dogs and tried to see every one of them. We finally came across a dog that we wanted to call our own; his shelter name was Mr. Red Legs.
Mr. Red Legs, now known as Hobbs, is a Golden-Retriever Chow mix who was four-months-old at the time and at first very shy. We don't know too much about Hobbs' history, besides the fact he was recently transferred to Wayside from another shelter. Once we finished all of our paperwork, Hobbs was ours to take home and they had informed us that all of his shots were taken care of. They neutered Hobbs for free and gave us tons of gift cards and certificates to use at Petco, free grooming and free stay for him at a local "dog
hotel" if we ever needed to go out of town. Today Hobbs is just over two years old, and one of the best decisions I've made.
My reservations about adopting dogs has changed drastically and you would never guess that Hobbs was a shelter dog. He's just as playful and loveable as a dog you can get from a breeder, but the feeling you get knowing that you gave this dog a home is something no one can take away. I saved hundreds of dollars by adopting and the fact that they took care of major services for me was an amazing benefit. He is everything I expected in a dog and there is absolutely no difference from shelter dogs and buying from breeders. The only way a dog can be considered "bad" is depending on how you treat them and how you raise them. There are hundreds of pets that need homes that may not see any in their lifetime, but if more people choose adoption we can lower the number of homeless pets and have a best friend that will love you just the same as an animal from a breeder.

JCC shooting calls for love from tragedy
A little over one week ago, tragedy struck Overland Park. It was the day before Passover, a significant holiday in Judaism. There was a shooting. The suspect, Frazier Glenn Cross was said to have killed three people. All three victims were not Jewish, but because the locations of the shootings had Jewish affiliations, the attacks are being classified as hate crimes. The first location was at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and the second location was at Village Shalom, a nearby senior living community. Both places are for all members of the community — not strictly Jewish members.
Cross was a white supremacist for decades who served time in prison in the 1980s. He was recorded screaming "Heil Hitler!" during his arrest. Immediately, the community of Overland Park came together, and even people that do not live in Overland Park sent their support from miles away. It is so sad when something like this happens, especially to a community that is so near and dear to my heart. It is a community that has recently opened their arms up to me and for that I am grateful because the people there live their lives just as I want to one day.
Many people turned to the Internet and social media to grab the attention of others. On Facebook, many pages were made showing support for the victims, and people who had long been going to the Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Greater Kansas City changed their profile pictures to the JCC's logo. My own newsfeed was filled with statuses about how my friends felt personally hurt. My friend Avery Parkhurst, a University

student who attended Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy in Overland Park, posted, "To everyone in my life, including my amazing non-Jewish friends and family, I urge you to embrace all of the qualities in life that make us human. To love your fellow human being. To be accepting of others. And above all else to know that we are all meant to fix this upside-down world together."
The Jewish community here in Lawrence is relatively large, so this probably affected people that all of us know. It could be the guy in your math class or the girl you do yoga with. Either way, I have learned from this tragic incident that people need to come together during times like this. One of the people I turn to in Lawrence is Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel. I approached him about this terrible incident he said, "When you face hatred, you have to respond with love."
People, not only Jewish people, on campus were scared. At the Chabad house on the second night of Passover, there were two police cars sitting outside for protection. It was definitely something that I was not used to.
My prayers are with the victims and their families during this tough time. I hope that one day, the world can be a place where none of this hatred exists and there is no need for police cars to sit outside for protection.

Emojis make up for lack of interaction in texts
MAGGIE ROSSITER entertain@kansan.com
smiley face, smiley face, salsa dancer, beer glass, clapping hands, clapping hands and a few exclamation points — a string of emoticons pasted together just to say "I'm excited!" without actually saying the words. Since the beginnings of AOL instant messenger (AIM) and email, our generation has taken the smiley face to a completely new stage. No longer does a simple smiley do the trick. With hundreds of characters available to us, we can choose a specific emotion in one click.
Computer science professor Scott Fahlman of Carnegie Mellon University noticed that people using an online message board were getting into conflicts because it was difficult to communicate when they were "just kidding." He posted the suggestion that they use the symbol ":)-" and the emoticon was born.
From that moment on, the smiley face evolved to hundreds of emoticons. Now these hundreds of emoticons are being used more and more to replace everyday words in text messages or emails. According to an article on uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com, emojis are being sought as a modern day version of the Egyptian hieroglyph. With
over 700 characters and rising now available in the core set of emojis, the world could be watching the written word becoming slowly extinct.
Not only are emoticons slowly erasing some of our daily language, but they are surpassing our own basic facial expressions. Emotions allow us to compensate for the lack of face-to-face interaction that comes with texting or emailing.
According to the article, the emotion might even surpass the human body language repertoire.
"While U.S. psychologists have recently discovered 21 different facial expressions that all humans use, the emoji appears to provide a core selection of over 40," the article said.
Freshman Hannah Weise from Lake Quivera saLD she uses emoticons daily and finds herself responding in only emoticons at times.
"I use emojis if I want exaggerate my point," Weise said. "They let me convey a visual emotion. Sometimes it's better to only use an emoji if what someone says is awkward or weird. Sometimes words don't do a text justice."
Although emotions seem to be enhancing our communication, many times they tend to confuse the message of a conversation, just as Professor Fahlman had noticed.
Weise agrees and says that using an emoji that is not normally associated with a text can definitely change the meaning and can be very confusing.
"There are certain emojis that are appropriate in only certain situations," Weise said. "You wouldn't want to be texting your guy friend a winky face because you could be giving him the wrong idea"
"If I'm saying something sarcastic but it could be taken literally, I would use an emoji just so people know I'm kidding," Shaw said. "Emojis add a more personal effect to texting because you can use so many of the different faces or hand gestures that you would be using if you were talking to someone face to face."
Sophomore Katherine Shaw from Overland Park says she always uses an emoji when the message could be misconstrued.
As our generation continues to use social media and texting to communicate, the emoji will always be needed. A text message or email lacks the facial and body expressions we need to interpret a message correctly, and the emoji makes up for that. Your recently used emotions may say more about your conversations than you might think.

Ask Cherilyn: pros and cons of 'No Poo' method
CHERILYN FARRIS entertain@kansan.com
This week, I took to social media and the sidewalks of our campus in attempt to lure some of you to ask the questions you have been harboring about hair care. As a licensed cosmetologist, one of my goals is to educate the less-informed with factual, professional information. I received plenty of specific and thorough questions regarding products, damage and genetics but repeatedly was addressed with the topic of the 'No Poo' hair treatment. It has been quite the buzz over the past couple years, but apparently has only gotten as far as making a lot of you curious. So I'm going to lay out the pros and cons of 'No Poo' versus shampooing and my honest opinion on the method.
WHAT IS THE 'NO POO' METHOD?
-Carolyn W., Junior
The standard variation of this method involves "washing" your hair with baking soda to remove odor, lift oils and exfoliate the scalp, followed by "conditioning" your hair with apple cider vinegar to clarify, soften and add shine. It is a home remedy that can be used to replace store bought shampoos. To those who will try this method, there will be a transition phase as your hair adjusts to its new method of cleansing where your scalp will seem particularly oily; I suggest dry shampoo during this phase.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE 'NO POO' METHOD?
Natalie W. Marketing Sopho
-Natalie W., Marketing Sophomore
Personally, I have yet to try this method. However, I do know people that have tried it and
have had results on both ends of the happiness scale. Because I know quite a bit about the science behind hair, I am telling you that I don't recommend it. I'm not just trying to go against the crowd here or push professional products on you, but I want to tell you why this method is no worse than using dollar store shampoo.
Your hair follicles contain and create natural oils called sebum, which is essential for keeping the hair naturally healthy and conditioned. Over-washing by any method will strip those natural oils and trigger your sebaceous glands to release extra sebum This overproduction will lead to greasy-looking and feeling hair regardless of what you use While the pH of the hair and scalp is naturally between 4 and 7. baking soda is far right on the pH scale, hitting an alkaline level of 9, which is 100 times more basic than water. So while it may soften your hair at first due to the alkaline weakening the hair strands, baking soda can damage your scalp and hair because of its inability to balance pH. For those with a naturally higher pH level, this method does tend to work, at least for a little bit, but it won't work universally. There are many claims of the 'No Poo' method resulting in softer, fuller and bouncier hair, but I personally don't feel comfortable with putting something on my hair that I can also use to clean the bathroom.
IS SHAMPOO REALLY BAD FOR YOUR HAIR?
-Maureen C., Psychology Sophomore
The 'No Poo' method stemmed from the desire to use chemical-less cleansing agents and has
contributed to the notion that shampoo is bad. Shampoo is not bad. Chemicals that certain shampoos contain are bad, but there are plenty of hair care lines that are free from those toxic ingredients. The ingredients to watch out for are sulfates (it unnecessarily creates foam and bubbles and when it combines with other chemicals, it can form a deadly class carcinogen), perfumes and fragrances (this is code for at least 1,000 toxic synthetic ingredients), parabens (or basically preservatives, included to prolong shelf life and are proven carcinogens), DEA, MEA and TEA (hormone-disrupting chemicals that can form cancer-causing agents) and FD&C color pigments (made from coal tar and are carcinogenic). It seems like a long list to have to check for, but many hair care lines are free of these toxins
and more are joining that movement. I recommend Loreal Professional, Aveda or Bumble and Bumble; they are guaranteed safe and will improve the quality of your hair.
Today I want to emphasize saying "no" to 'No Poo.' Although it is cheap, it cannot guarantee the health or color of your hair, only a licensed professional and professional products can. I hope this column helped you gain an understanding of the latest fad method. Keep an eye out for my next Ask Cherilyn column to see the answers to more of your questions.

Americans still gripped by missing plane mystery
INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PERTH, Australia — From the disappearances of aviator Amelia Earhart to labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa, there's just something about a good mystery that Americans find too tantalizing to resist. Perhaps that's why the saga of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has continued to rivet the country long after people elsewhere have moved on.
Flight officer Rayan Gharazeddine on board a Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion, searches for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in southern Indian Ocean, Australia, Saturday, March 22. The plane, which has been missing for more than a month now, still has a holds a tight grip on American interest while it tapers in other countries like Australia and China.
Even though it unfolded on the other side of the world with only three Americans on board, many were sucked in anyway.
"This story has many ingredients of compelling drama, particularly early on: lives at stake, mystery unsolved, a race against time, human emotion," Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute, said in an email.
But why did interest remain so high in the U.S. when the story lost steam elsewhere? It dropped from most Australian front pages and websites weeks ago, despite the search being coordinated off its western coast. CNN International tapered its coverage when other big news broke. But CNN in the U.S. continued its heavy focus on the plane.
Even in China, where two-thirds of the passengers were
from, reports never ran nonstop on TV and the clamor on social media also died down.

But Americans yearned for more.
Many found it impossible to believe that a modern Boeing 777 carrying 239 people could just vanish without a trace in an age where an iPhone can be tracked just about anywhere.
Part of the obsession may also revolve around the country's gotta-know-now mentality and its social media addiction that gets fed 24/7 by the latest breaking news, raw footage or photos going viral on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Since the plane disappeared, it has consistently been one of the top five most-read stories on The Associated Press' mobile app.
And so Americans tuned in to watch the latest developments. And when there were no new developments, they stayed glued to their smartphones because the suspense of not knowing — or possibly missing something new

Bon Jovi helps open low-income housing
PHILADELPHIA — Jon Bon Jovi's hit tune "Who Says You Can't Go Home?" took on new meaning Tuesday as the rock star cut the ribbon on a namesake housing development for low-income residents and the formerly homeless in Philadelphia.
The 55-unit JBJ Soul Homes opened in the Francisville neighborhood after about 18 months of construction. Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation provided the lead gift for the $16.6 million complex, which he hopes will offer tenants the support they need to get back on their feet.
"This is not a handout, it's just a hand up." Bon Jovi said in an interview before the official ceremony. "This opportunity for them is special and it's not easy to come by."
The four-story building, which was financed by public and private funds, also includes retail and office space. Residents will receive social services from Project HOME, a nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness in Philadelphia. HOME stands for Housing, Opportunities, Medical and Education.

Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse is going out of business after 44 years. Bob's has been popular on Mass. Street since its opening in 1977.
Classic downtown restaurant to close
MADDY MIKINSKI
news@kansan.com
Buffalo Bob's, a Massachusetts Street barbeque staple, is closing its doors on Tuesday, April 29. The restaurant, which opened in 1977, is owned by Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm.
"I've been in business now for 44 years," said Schumm. "I decided now was a good time to close."
Schumm began his 44-yearlong career in the food service industry while a student at the University.
"The way I really got started was I sold sandwiches and soft drinks and potato chips and hard-boiled eggs at the fraternity and sorority houses at night," Schumm said, "[Food service] looked to be a good opportunity."
After graduating in 1968 with a journalism degree, Schumm began opening his own restaurants. Prior to starting Buffalo Bob's, Schumm opened the Bull and Boar and the Mass St. Deli.
Schumm got the idea for Buffalo Bob's from other barbecue restaurants.
"I'd been to a BBQ restaurant in Kansas City and I was really interested in the food, the products, the popularity of it," he said.
When Buffalo Bob's opened, it was one of only eight restaurants downtown.
"It was a waiting line for an hour for each meal. 30 or 40 days in a row," he said.
Though Autumn Strausbaugh has only worked at the restaurant for a year, she's heard long time customers reminisce about Buffalo Bob's opening.
"You get a lot of people who have been coming here for thirty years, so you get some of the stories about when it first opened," Strausbaugh said. "A lot of people came here on their first dates and now they've been married for years."
Strausbaugh witnessed the reaction of her customers to the upcoming close.
"My customers are really disappointed. It's upsetting because it's been open for so long," she said. Some customers have said that they aren't going to visit the new restaurant that's moving into Buffalo Bob's place. Supposedly, the Lady Bird Diner will open in the old restaurant's spot and sell American food.
"I'm pretty upset considering it right before summer and so it's pretty hard to look for a job right now before finals," she said.
The restaurant's closing will also affect Strausbaugh.
Though the restaurant's closing will affect the surrounding community, Schumm says that now is the right time to close.
"I started right out of college This restaurant has been here 37 of those 44 years," he said. "It's time to take a break."

Studying abroad is, understandably, a large financial burden. Though, some students say the burden is bigger than they originally thought.
Maria Holt, a junior from Pittsburgh, Penn., is one of those students. Holt studies classics, which has allowed her to travel to Italy multiple times for classes and archaeological digs. Last summer, she traveled to Rome as part of a Student, Initiated Program (SIP) through the University of Michigan.

"I had to bring in proof that I had gotten accepted to the program and I had to bring in [a budget of] how much it was going to cost," Holt said. Immediately, Holt noticed some issues with her budget.
Study abroad costs can undermine participation
"It's complicated because the first thing that was a problem was that KU, if you're studying abroad, they don't cover your at-home costs," Holt said. "If you're gone for the summer, if you can't find a sub-leaser you have to come up with that additional rent by yourself. You can't include that in your budget."

"When they (Office of Study Abroad) give you these budgets, they don't really allow you to extrapolate from that."
Ostmeyer's goal was to attend a summer program in Morocco.
"It is financially just about the same [for out of state students] or even cheaper," Ostmeyer said. "But in my situation, since I am an instate student that didn't have any scholarships, it just would have been way out of my budget. I didn't want to put that financial burden on me and my family just for two months."
"Without scholarships, studying abroad would cost a little under $10,000 for two months," she said. "That's more than I pay in tuition for an entire year."
Students studying abroad are also still required to pay the $440 of extra fees students staying on the Lawrence campus have to pay.
"When we got to Rome, that's when we learned about a 55 Euro [bus] fine, but they don't really tell that to students here," Holt said. "I think that they leave out things that students could get in trouble with that could cost more."

Christina Ostmeyer, a sophomore from Colby, also has experience with the high cost of studying abroad.

A worker sprays down telephone poles and other flammable materials while another sets fire to part of the fields that make up the KU Field Station in Northwest Lawrence. The fields are burned annually to promote healthy soils.
DRUGS FROM PAGE 1
The problem with prescription drugs is prevalent in the Lawrence area as well. According to usdrugtrends.com, there were 311 prescription drug-related admissions to Lawrence emergency rooms last year, involving drugs like OxyContin, Percoct, Vicodin, Xanax and Lortab.
40 percent higher usage rate of painkillers than any other age group from previous generations.
The prescription drug, Adderall, is particularly troublesome for college students. Nationally, seven percent of college students are using the prescription drug Adderall illegally, and students ages 18 to 22 are twice as likely as non-students to use the drug for non-medical purposes, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department, said that abuse of prescription drugs in the Lawrence area is a growing problem the department has had to deal with recently. In March, a man was arrested in relation to a string of prescription drug thefts at Dillon's pharmacies. McKinley said things like drug take-back days help them control the problem.
"We certainly see pain medications being sold in the street and in the schools," McKinley said. "Anything that we can do to keep those out of an abusers hands or someone who's going to turn around and sell them is significant, and we have seen more of that in the past few years."
In addition to keeping drugs out of unauthorized hands, McKinley said the take-back day helps keep the city safe in other ways as well.
"For us locally, certainly this benefits us, because it helps to divert toxic chemicals from entering our waste water system," he said. "When people flush these things down the toilet, that of course gets into our wastewater system, which we purify and eventually becomes part of the drinking system down the line."
There will be two collection sites available for disposal on Saturday, one at the shortterm parking lot of the Douglas County Law Enforcement Center at 11 E. 11th St., and the other at the Lawrence Police Department Training Center at 4829 Bob Billings Parkway. Illegal drugs, inhalers, injectables and needles will not be accepted, and participants are advised to remove any identifying information from prescription labels.

CAPS FROM PAGE 1
school year, about 40 percent of CAPS clients were graduate or professional students and 33 percent were seniors.
There are a number of factors which affect this process," Maestas said. "Primarily, as the semester proceeds, stress — academic, social, financial, etc. — increases. Stress exacerbates any underlying problems [students] may have."
Maestas said he urges students to be sure to inform CAPS if their situation is urgent. Those will be addressed "promptly," he said.
"Urgent or emergent doesn't only mean suicidal," Maestas said. "If students need to speak with one of us sooner than the next available initial assessment, we encourage them to let us know. We can then assess the situation and respond to the need."
Any students experiencing an emergency should call 911, he said.
For non-emergencies, the weeks-long wait for an appointment is not unusual. Grace Jakubowski, a sophomore from Chicago, said she was told early in the school year she would have to wait 27 days for an appointment with a professional therapist, so she agreed to see a CAPS intern instead.
"There was no intervention or clinical work for my anxiety," Jakubowski said. "It was more just talking about how I felt about it."
Jakubowski said she wound up seeking professional help from the local Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.
The University is not alone in trying to balance the demand for services with its staffing levels. According to the 2013 National Survey of College Counseling Center Directors, 95 percent of college campus counseling centers reported an increase in students' demand for services last year. The survey also found that 88 percent of campus mental health center directors said the increase "posed staffing problems for them."
The International Association of Counseling Services recommends one health professional for every 1,000 to
1,500 students. The University currently averages about one professional for every 2,000 students.
Botts and Maestas said the counseling center added two or three staff members in recent years, with funding from Student Senate, but would need $330,000 more in base salaries each year to be able to add six professionals for a total of the recommended 18.
"We are constantly reviewing our procedures in order to be more efficient and available while maintaining consistency with standards of professional practice," Maestas said.
Students who face a long wait at CAPS and want help to mentally prepare for the end of the year or address other problems can contact any of the following local services (which CAPS works with regularly): The Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, DC-CCA Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter, KU Psychological Clinic and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Kansas farmer gets kidney transplant from hunter
THE BIBLE VERSES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rob Robinson chats with Gil Alexander at a prairie chicken display at the Statehouse in Topeka. The outdoorsmen have developed a friendship and business partnership after Robinson donated a kidney to Alexander in 2012.
That's when Robinson learned that Alexander was ill and needed a kidney transplant to prolong his life. Robinson returned to Mississippi and got tested and found out he was a match, in fact closer than if they were brothers.
TOPEKA, Kan. Two hunters brought together by a love of the outdoors formed a friendship leading one to donate a kidney to the other, a friendship that has led to a foundation aimed at sharing the outdoors with others.
Robinson, a soft-spoken man of few words, jokes that giving the kidney wasn't required for getting permission to hunt, but felt like the right thing to do.
Rob Robinson, a 45-year-old firefighter from Starkville, Miss., happened to knock on Gil Alexander's door in 2008 in northwest Kansas seeking permission to hunt pheasant. Robinson returned three years later, this time to hunt turkey on Alexander's property.
"I didn't remember his name, but I knew the voice and Mississippi," Alexander said Tuesday of their second meeting.
"He texted me and said 'I'm a match,' Alexander said. "I put down the phone and started to cry."
The two went to a Kansas City Chiefs football game together then went to the hospital the next day for the surgery on Nov. 26, 2012. In the process, Alexander also

learned he had early stages of pancreatic cancer, which doctors were able to remove.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I just feel like the most blessed person on the planet," said Alexander, 56.
Alexander, a fourth-generation Kansas farmer, said his great-grandfather was from Mississippi and was a Buffalo Soldier in the Army. He's traveled to the South to see his friend and promote their foundation.
"I never thought I would be an organ donor, let alone a living one."
Robinson, who holds the record for one of the largest turkeys ever shot, said he always wanted to start a hunting business and the connection with Alexander is helping him fulfill that dream. The two are hoping to create a "five-star resort" where people can come experience hunting and the outdoors by overcoming any physical or financial obstacles.
ROB ROBINSON kidney donor
The transplant gave Alexander new life, allowing him to stop dialysis and to continue farming his nearly 3,000 acres north of Nicodemus. The men decided to build on their friendship and start Forever Outdoors, an organization that brings wounded veterans, children and others to northwest Kansas to experience hunting and nature.
"I also want to turn my house in Mississippi into a lodge." Robinson said.

Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 arrives from San Jose, Calif., in Kahului, Hawaii, on Monday, April 21. A 15-year-old boy on Sunday climbed into a plane's wheel well, then flew for five hours to Hawaii on a misadventure that forced authorities to take a look at the security system that protects the nation's airline fleet
met with Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and other state wildlife officials Tuesday to talk about their organization and to raise awareness of the need for organ donors.
HONOLULU — A 15-year-old stowaway who survived a flight over the Pacific in a jet's wheel well spent seven hours undetected in what is supposed to be a highly secure area of San Jose International Airport before the flight departed, according to an official briefed on the investigation.
NATIONAL
AWAIIAN
Jet stowaway undetected for hours before departure
The law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Tuesday that video surveillance shows the boy on the airfield a little after 1 a.m. Sunday, walking on the tarmac and near airplanes in fenced and guarded areas. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
While it's not clear how the teen spent all that time, FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu said the teen was sleeping in the plane before the 8 a.m. PDT takeoff. He "literally just slept on the plane overnight," Simon said.
High altitude and low temperatures knocked him out during the 5 1/2-hour flight; he didn't regain consciousness until an hour after the plane landed in Hawaii, Simon said. Medical experts have said the boy may have survived the subzero temperatures and thin air of the plane's 38,000-foot cruising altitude because his body went into a state akin to hibernation.
When the landing gear of a Boeing 767 retracts, there is little room to maneuver in the wheel well. The boy would have had to curl up in the fetal position or crouch down the entire time. And there is no way to get into the main cabin or luggage compartment without removing large pieces of the aircraft's interior, said Jon Day, general manager of Southern California Aviation, a maintenance yard in Victorville, Calif., that handles commercial jets.
The boy was resting Tuesday at a Honolulu hospital. Hawaii's Department of Human Services said
The incident "raises serious concerns affecting passenger safety" said U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who is asking the Government Accountability Office to assess airport perimeter safety nationwide.
The boy has not been charged with a crime, but much about him
— including his identity and his motivation — remained a public mystery.
The FAA says about one-quarter of the 105 stowaways who have sneaked aboard flights worldwide since 1947 have survived. Some wheel-well stowaways survived deadly cold and a lack of oxygen because their breathing, heart rate and brain activity slow down.
child welfare officials were arranging his safe return to Northern California.
Meanwhile, investigators were struggling to find out how the San Jose airport's post-9/11 security could have been so easily breached.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Which MLB team has the league's lowest payroll in 2014?
A: Houston Astros with $44.5 million. Associated Press
Associated Press
Oakland A's overcome low payroll, bring A game
THE MORNING BREW
The Oakland Athletics have quietly been one of the best stories in baseball over the past couple of seasons. Arguably the least recognized of the five clubs California has to its name, the As are the only team from the Golden State to win their division in each of the past two seasons.
Off to another encouraging start in 2014, they sit atop the American League West while boasting the league's top run differential, scoring 31 more than their opponents. Sure, Oakland's recent success is impressive
The As play at a huge perceived disadvantage, regularly finding themselves among the league's bottom teams in terms of payroll. In 2012, they were dead last. Last season, fifth-lowest. And this year, sixth from last.
Oakland's recent success is impressive — it would be for any squad — but the circumstances under it's achieved that success is the real story.
To put that in perspective, consider the Kansas City Royals' salary situation for a moment.
You've likely overheard a Royals fan or two blaming their lack of success on their shortage of funds. I know that I have. And it's a legitimate argument — KC regularly has one of the league's top farm systems, but can't afford to keep that talent once it starts

sports@kansan.com
To boot, it's one of only three teams in the league that doesn't have a single player on its roster earning more than $11 million this season. To put that in perspective, the New York Yankees own nine players that make more than that.
now consider that Oakland has had, on average, $10 million less to work with than the Royals each of the last three seasons. That's another top-of-the-rotation pitcher or starting shortstop.
It's quite the disparity, yes. But unlike Kansas City, Oakland hasn't allowed its undesirable financial situation define it. Instead, it's become a great underdog story. The type that they make movies about. Well, actually, they've already made one.
producing.
A's general manager Billy Beane's tactics used to field a competitive team with limited finances are well-chronicled in 2011's Moneyball. Unfortunately, the film's September release also coincided with the conclusion of Oakland's fifth-consecutive season with a record.500 or under. The team and attitude documented in the movie were a distant memory.
But fast forward three years and that swagger has clearly returned to the A's clubhouse. And make no mistake, when you don't have a lot of money, swagger
is everything. Especially when you're stuck in a division with the Los Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers — teams that own the league's sixth and eighth highest payroll, respectively.
THE BREW
The idea that Oakland has been able to claw its way back out of MLB's cellar with a payroll less than half of its divisional competition is nothing short of amazing.
Beane and the AS don't appear to mind that both 'Texas' and LA's four highest-paid players make significantly more than their entire team does. They don't mind that the last team to win the World Series with a payroll under $100 million was the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies (Oakland has $68,577,000 this year). They don't
mind that conventional wisdom says they shouldn't be doing any-where close to as well as they have been.
No, none of that matters. The As have fielded nine, fundamentally sound ballplayers who simply work well together. In an
age of big names, big egos and big contracts, it's easy to forget that's really what it's all about.
So, if you've been searching for an enticing storyline to follow this baseball season, look no further than the AL West. It's David vs. Goliath; good vs. evil. However you want to look at it, there's no doubt that there's something special going on in Oakland. It'll be interesting to see how long the A's can keep it up while competing against some of the league's biggest spenders.

COMMENTARY
No more surprises from Jayhawks
By Blair Sheade sports@kansan.com
THE MORNING BREW
Oakland A's are worth more than their payroll
PAGE 9
Last week, Weis announced that Cozart will start at quarterback to begin the season. Weis previously stated at the spring game press conference that the QB starter would be unknown until the start of the season.
The Kansas football squad doesn't have any wow-factor players who force opposing defenses to draw up game plans around them. After a poor showing at the spring game two weeks ago, the Jayhawks needed to find something to give them an edge before games.
There goes the element of surprise for the Jayhawks; Kansas had a chance to force teams to plan for two quarterbacks with different styles of play because both quarterbacks could start.
One negative is that defenses only need to focus on Cozart more as a rusher than a passer, which gives the defense an advantage. Reagan's offense ranked 103rd in passing yards per game last season, and to open up the rushing game, Cozart needs to make plays with his arm.
Heaps, who was the 2013 season-opener starter, is a pocket passer who doesn't have much mobility, but has a strong arm.
There is a long way before the first game, but we will have to wait and see if Weis' decision was the right move on Sept. 6 against Southeast Missouri State.
Cozart flashes strength and accuracy in his arm, and his ability to escape the pocket gives him the best opportunity to score. He had two rushing touchdowns in the spring game and was named the spring game's most valuable player.
One surprise coach Charlie Weis held for opponents was the unknown of the starting quarterback. Sophomore Montell Cozart and junior Jake Heaps were battling for the spot in the spring and were supposed to continue into the summer, but that competition was cut short.
-Edited by Stella Liang
One positive of Cozart starting in the summer is that he can build a solid relationship with the wide receivers before the first game. If Weis held the starting spot open, the wide receiver would be blinded to who would be throwing him the ball because every QB has different tendencies.
Heaps failed to take control of the Jayhawks last season which opened up the starting job to Cozart. Cozart held the upper hand over Heaps after he led the Jayhawks to defeat West Virginia to give Kansas its first Big 12 conference victory in almost three seasons.
Cozart becoming the starter before the season has its pros and cons like any other situation.
Weis said at the spring game press conference that he wouldn't reveal who the starting quarterback until the start of the first game because he didn't want teams to know what part of the new offensive coordinator John Reagan's offense was going to be executed. At Rice, Reagan, who controlled the 17th ranked rushing offense last season, used his quarterback to run and throw the ball, and gave the Rice offense a dual-threat look. Weis said Reagan has different schemes that he can pick from during games.

I agreed with Weis, because he said that it would be stupid to tell the opposing team who the starting quarterback would be.

Kansas (23-19 6-9) is coming off a losing series in Stillwater, Okla., against the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. The Cowboys now sit atop the talented Big 12, with an 11-4 conference record, 29-11 overall, winners of seven straight. Meanwhile the Jayhawks sit in sixth ahead of West Virginia, Baylor and Kansas State.
The Jayhawks have a date set with the Baylor Bears this weekend, in what could be a defining series in terms of how they will finish in conference. Before they dance with the Bears in Waco, the Jayhawks have a midweek matchup against Missouri State (17-9 6-6) of the Missouri Valley Conference, on Wednesday at Hoglund Ballpark.
The Missouri State Bears will likely go with left-handed sophomore Andy Cheray on the mound. Cheray has made just four appearances and one start, in just over nine innings of work. He has a perfect record thus far at 1-0 and has yet to allow a run.
Kansas' coach Ritch Price will give the ball to freshman
Jon Hander to get Kansas back in the win column. He picked up his first career victory in his last start against Grand Canyon the last time the Jayhawks were in Hoglund, and pitched his way into a midweek starting role. He has a 1-1 record with a 3.60 ERA in three starts. He has only walked five batters in 20 innings of work.
Kansas has three players that are regular starters that are batting north of the .300 mark. Junior left fielder Michael Suiter is hitting. 335 with his 23 RBIs. Junior designated hitter Dakota Smith is hitting. 311 with 22 RBIs while senior center fielder Tucker Tharp is batting .305 with 20 RBIs and five home runs, including one in Stillwater.
wins, Kansas has allowed a combined three runs against Creighton, Wichita State and Grand Canyon.
Kansas will win if..
If they can continue to pitch and play defense. For a team built on defense and pitching, the Jayhawks have struggled at times in their midweek matchups. With a 3-6 season record against midweek matchups, the Jayhawks are even more desperate for a win after the Cowboys sweep. In the three midweek
Kansas will lose if..
If they don't get production out of the heart of their lineup. In their series sweep Suiter, Smith and junior right fielder Connor McKay, had a combined one RBI on the weekend. McKay who leads
the conference in RBIs as well as home runs failed to score one runner all weekend, as well as Smith. If they expect to snap this three game losing streak they need their big hitters to step up.
Player to watch
Freshman pitcher Jon Hander. Hander is coming off arguably his best performance, against Grand
Canyon, where he tossed 78 pitches, going seven innings deep, allowing one run off five hits. His performance last week is the reason coach Price decided to go with the freshman rather than junior Drew Morovick the previous midweek starter.

DeBruce Center to house Naismith's rules
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
sports@kansan.com
Since David and Suzanne Booth purchased Dr. James Naismith's original rules of basketball four years ago, some have wondered when they would be able to see one of the most valued documents in the history of sport.
That answer became more clear this month as the University announced its plan for the construction of a building that will house the rules created by Naismith, the inventor of basketball.
that this building can be a magnet, a drawing card if you will, for people from around this area and around a larger region," said Jim Marchiony, the associate athletic director for public affairs. "A drawing card not only for this building but also for the campus of the

Together with the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, Allen Fieldhouse - as well as the University - will become an even bigger hotspot to locals and beavond.
Fieldhouse and will also be accessible through the second-floor concourse of the arena. In addition to housing the rules, it will include exhibits documenting the history of Kansas basketball, a small theater, retail dining and café, a training table

"...the game is
JIM MARCHIONY Associate athletic director for public affairs
"We've always thought
University of Kansas, so that's the exciting part of this."
While a specific date hasn't been set for its official opening, Marchiony said the center should open sometime in 2015.
With a price tag of $18 million, the three-floor, 32,000-square-foot building will be located on the northeast corner of Allen
setting for both the men's and women's basketball teams, meeting areas and a catered event space.
"There will be space in this building or people to eat and meet and study," Marchiony said. "It will be a building with several uses."
But what will draw many from around the region will be the iconic rules, which
were published in 1892 and have served as the foundation to the game of basketball. The Booths purchased the rules for $4.3 million at an auction in December 2010 and wanted to display them at the University of Kansas, where Naismith worked as a physical education instructor, coach, physician, professor and athletic director for almost four decades.
"Because the inventor of the game of basketball [Naismith] was the first basketball coach here, the game is embedded into the history of this school," Marchiony said. "Having the rules here just emphasizes that relationship even more."
The discussions for the creation of the DeBruce Center started as soon as the Booths purchased the rules in 2010. Then the fundraising began, a process aided by the University of Kansas Endowment Association. Marchiony said the discussions intensified over the last year to start preparing for the construction. So far, more than 50 percent of the money required for the center has been raised.
The DeBruce Center will be part of a larger makeover for the south side of campus that will also include a new dorm for the basketball players and a new business school. Both are set to be completed by the fall of 2016.
"Really when you think about the new business school going pretty much across the street from it, [the DeBruce Center] really adds a whole new dimension to this part of campus," Marchiony said.
The University of Kansas will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the DeBruce Center on Friday, May 2 at 11:30 a.m., at the northeast side of Allen Fieldhouse. The ceremony is open to the general public.

Judicial Board to rule in Student Senate controversy
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
+
The Appeals Panel may have submitted its decision to the University Judicial Board regarding the disqualification of Jayhawkers after yesterday's hearing.
The Panel denied media access at the hearing site.
Three members decided either to extend the appeals process, or uphold or reverse the decision made by the Elections Commission to disqualify Jayhawkers.
At this point, only the Board knows the results. The hearing was also closed to the public, per request of Jayhawkers.
"In the past, the precedent is that the decision is made in the room, but the time that it takes to draw up the decision officially and have it submitted to the student body can take much longer than that," said Angela Murphy of the Elections Commission.
In the hearing, Murphy said Jayhawkers received 10 minutes for an opening statement with the option of interruption by the Judicial Board to ask questions for
clarification. Murphy said the Elections Commission was then afforded 10 minutes with similar limitations. Jayhawkers was then given five minutes to rebut and the Elections Commission had five minutes to close.
"We do all our talking through the Judicial Board in which we make a decision in writing," said Thomas Stacy, a law professor and chair of the Appeals Panel.
The University Judicial Board is comprised of three law members, 22 faculty members, two members of the unclassified professional staff, three members of the University support staff, three administrators and 16 students.
"We're just trying to make sure that every vote that was cast is counted," said Mitch Rucker, a Jayhawkers representative. "As it stands, if the University Judicial Board upholds the decision of the Elections Commission the voices of the students who voted for the Jayhawkers will not be heard."
Will Admussen, a Grow KU representative, said he
was disappointed that the meeting was closed, which is in accordance with Judicial Board policies.
"I think that there was a lack of transparency," Admussen said. "I think there needs to be leaders put into place that can make those steps toward transparency and really connect with the student body instead of shutting the doors because they're just nervous."
On Wednesday, Mackenzie Oatman said Jayhawkers would reach out to University Governance to request press to be in the room, but later said in a text message the situation was out of her hands.
She echoed the previous statement that Jayhawkers wanted a fair chance during the hearing without distractions from other people in the room.
"I would have kept it public but I had no power over that," said Kevin Hundelt, presidential candidate of Crimson & True. "If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen — the kitchen meaning the court and the running."

Students march for Sexual Assault Awareness Month
CODY KUIPER news@kansan.com
As part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access (IOA) hosted its first ever March for a Voice event Wednesday evening.
To promote awareness about unreported sexual assault, IOA provided free food, T-shirts and other items on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint Hall before participants held
signs and marched to the Kansas Union, where a Sex Ed Boot Camp presentation took place.
Jennifer Brooks, an investigator and trainer for IOA who helped organize the march, said the message of the event was the importance of reporting sexual assault, specifically on college campuses where cases are underreported. According to a recent government study, one in five women have been
sexually assaulted while in college, and an average of 60 percent of assaults in the last five years were not reported.
"It's important that they report because so many times they think that it's not a big deal, but it really does impact people's education down the line even if they don't realize it right away," Brooks said. "It impacts how often you're studying or participating

Kansas to join anti- health law compact
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas is joining a proposed compact with other states that hope to exempt themselves from the federal health care overhaul, and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday rejected criticism that the move will jeopardize seniors' benefits.
Brownback announced Wednesday that he quietly signed a compact bill late Tuesday and the new law will take effect July 1. The GOP-dominated Legislature passed the measure earlier this month.
The compact would let participating states remove themselves from federal health regulations if Congress consents. It was prompted by Republicans' opposition to the 2010 health care law championed by Democratic President Barack Obama. Critics view the overhaul has burdensome, intrusive and damaging to the economy.
"Those closest to the people have the best idea of what the public is wanting and needing," said state Rep. Brett Hildabrand, a Shawnee Republican pushing the compact measure. "This resets the clock, really."
The compact language is broad enough to cover Medicaid, which provides health coverage to the needy and disabled, and Medicare, which provides coverage for seniors. It would not cover health care for veterans, active military personnel or Native Americans.
The possibility that
member states could seek an exemption from Medicare rules led AARP to lobby against the measure. The organization along with state Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, perhaps the only prominent Kansas Republican to publicly defend the federal health overhaul, urged Brownback to veto the measure, arguing the compact would permit state lawmakers to cut benefits for the 450,000 seniors participating in Medicare.
"Those closest to the people have the best idea of what the public is wanting and needing."
Praeger said the federal overhaul is helping millions of Americans find affordable health coverage, and she called the new Kansas law "wrongheaded." Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat hoping to unseat Brownback in this year's governor's race, labeled it "irresponsible" and said Brownback ignored "calls for commonsense leadership."
BRETT HILDABRAND State representative
"We should not threaten the care of hundreds of thousands of seniors," Davis said in a statement.
If Congress approved the compact, the federal government would give each state its allotment of federal
"The Health Care Compact will allow states to restore and protect Medicare for generations to come," Brownback said. "Obamacare is the most serious attack on Medicare and seniors since the program's inception."
health care dollars without imposing conditions on how the money is used.
said seniors' benefits aren't in danger. Many Republicans argued the federal health care overhaul is a far bigger threat to Medicare because it was financed partly with cuts in Medicare payments to providers — mainly hospitals, health insurance companies and drugmakers. Eight other states, including Missouri and Texas, have enacted similar legislation, according to Competitive Governance Action, the Houston group pushing the idea. The group describes itself on its website as a nonprofit that advocates state control over health care and having problems solved "by the smallest, least centralized, most local authority."
Brownback said in a statement that he'd oppose any effort by the state to reduce Medicare benefits if the compact takes effect.
Curtis Ellis, the group's spokesman, said AARP has raised questions about potential Medicare cuts in other states and, "It's a flat-out lie." But Praeger said ignoring the potential effects on Medicare is "not being honest."

in activities, and we want to make sure everybody has equal opportunity to get full access to an educational experience, and by not reporting it you don't get that opportunity."
Sexual assault on college campuses has garnered a great deal of national media attention recently with the investigation into sexual assault allegations against Florida State quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. The handling of a sexual assault case that lead to the suicide of a University of Missouri swimmer is being brought to light as well. Brooks said that the University is doing its best to stay ahead of the curve on issues relating to sexual assault as opposed to being reactive to cases like those.
"Our policies are transparent on how to report sexual assault," Brooks said. "We do all sorts of marketing to get people to report and we do a very collaborative effort with other organizations around campus to all come together in a manner that's not harming people. As a University I think we've come together as a whole to tackle it very well."
Shannon McGraw, a sophomore from Shawnee who also helped organize and market the march, said it was important to have students be a part of the discourse on the issue as they're the ones who are dealing with it first hand.
"The only way to get to students really is to have another student talk to them," McGraw said. "What we need to learn is if your friend comes up to you and says that something happened last night, you need to be the one that says 'That's not right, you need to go to IOA.' They're the first line of defense."
Sexual assault is a difficult issue to deal with on college campuses, according to McGraw, who said it can
sometimes be challenging to even have an honest discussion about it with fellow students.
"I immediately when I say, 'We help with sexual assault,' people back off. Even the word makes people not want to talk about it," McGraw said. "They want to put it under the rug, like it's not happening, so that's why 'Speak Up' is our slogan because, honestly, that's the only way to get rid of it."
Sierra Franklin, a senior from Wichita, attended the march because she said sexual violence is an issue she's cared about and has been an advocate for since high school, and one she thinks is more far reaching than people realize.
"It's not just a female issue, it's an everyone issue, because even men don't report sexual assault often either," Franklin said. "People should go out and if they have been inappropriately touched or anything that made them feel uncomfortable, they should feel comfortable to go out and seek justice for whoever did this to them."
Jameelah Jones, a graduate student from Conyers, Ga., said she took part in the march because people who aren't reporting sexual assault need to know there is support for them from their peers.
"I think there needs to be publicized support for people who want to speak up," Jones said. "There's often times where someone won't be believed or they'll be judged or someone will tell them what they experienced isn't sexual assault. Events like this are important because it offers support for people to speak out if it happened to them."
To report an instance of sexual assault, a person can do so through the IOA website, ioa.ku.edu, by calling IOA at 785-864-6414, or by visiting their office in 153 Carruth O'Leary Hall. When filing a complaint, the reporter may choose to remain anonymous.

CORRECTION
In an article published Wednesday about study abroad prices, the Kansan incorrectly reported that students pay full semesterly campus fees while abroad. This is incorrect; however, students studying abroad do pay a study abroad program fee. Study abroad students on semester and summer programs will not pay fees to KU's Medical Center or other fees not associated with study abroad.
The article said the orientation does not include information about legal processes and associated fees abroad. The Office of Study Abroad's orientation sessions include general information on applying for visas and handling legal issues abroad.
The article said, "forecasted budgets for study abroad also only take into consideration airfare from Kansas City, Mo." This is incorrect. The airfare and other costs are flexible based on student needs.

Student hopes for barrel racing career
HALEY FRANCIS/KANSAN
MARK SCHWARTZ
HAYLEY FRANCIS news@kansan.com
For student Margie Benjamin, happiness is leading a 1,000-pound sprinting horse around three barrels in a cloverleaf pattern, wind in her hair, cowboy boots on her feet and her dogs Louie and Mia watching nearby.
Junior Margie Benjaim rides her horse in preparation for the National Barrel Horse Association show taking place this Sunday.
She spends three hours nearly every day on her family's farm caring for her horses and training for competitive barrel races. After graduation, she hopes to go pro, competing on the championship barrel racing circuit as a member of the Women's Professional Rodeo Association.
If she wins, the payoff could be a few hundred dollars. She says her goal is to win at least $5,000 for the entire racing season, which officially starts in May.
This Sunday, Benjamin will compete at a National Barrel Horse Association show in Lawrence. As with most of her races, she'll run against other women, which is usually between 13 and 18 seconds depending on the arena.
Benjamin got her first barrel horse at age 5 and is part of a family that has trained and raced for generations.
"I was pretty much born in the saddle, since my parents put me on my first horse when I was probably six days old with my mom," Benjamin said, a junior from Overland Park.
Her mother, Dana, has been racing for over 20 years and her older sister, Caitlin, since grade school. Margie's father, Benny, participated in rodeos in college and now trains horses.
The Benjamin family was a long-time owners of a ranch in Kansas City, Mo., that became
one of the city's "most iconic landmarks," according to the Kansas City Star. The ranch, which was owned by the family for over 125 years, attracted tens of thousands of people for rodeos, picnics, weddings and other events. Even Shania Twain, when she was on tour in Kansas City a decade ago, stayed overnight at the ranch, boarded her horse and "went on a little trail ride," said Christine Faulkner Loneman, whose family has been doing business with the Benjamins' for years.
The Benjamin family sold the ranch in 2006. Today, the family keeps 19 horses at two of the three farms it currently owns in the Kansas City area.
Three of the horses belong to Margie: Vee, Bondadosa and Jetti. The youngest, Vee, is her main racing horse that she's trained for the past year. She just began working with Bondadasa, who was trained by her father and handed over to her care. Benjamin has been riding Jetti since her freshman year of college, and Benjamin's mother now competes with Jetti, as well. Each horse has a different racing style and she says Vee is her favorite to work with.
On most afternoons, Benjamin drives from campus to the farms to train and care for the horses. Along with practice and classes, she works one night a week at The Jayhawk Café.
Dana Benjamin said she admires her daughter's competitiveness, tenacity and ability to learn from her mistakes.
The training she does with the horses is mostly on her own. Benjamin has coached herself since the age of 14. Benjamin says while people are only coachable in the sport for so long, she still takes tips from competitors and family. She said she and her mother often give each other feedback.
"I was pretty much born in the saddle, since my parents put me on my first horse when I was probably six days old with my mom."
MARGIE BENJAMIN Overland Park junior
"I want her to follow her dreams and continue to work hard to achieve her goals," Dana said. "I get more excited about her running than running myself!"
Rachel Staudenmyer, a junior from Overland Park, and Benjamin's friend since kindergarten, said Benjamin is one of the liveliest people she knows, full of "endless energy." She says the combination of Benjamin's personality and work ethic makes her a strong competitor.
"She always wants to find a better way or a different way to try and improve." Staudenmyer said. "So if something isn't working, that's when she puts in extra determination to find a way that does. I think that's what makes her such a great racer."
Benjamin said she aspires to use that determination to be a certified professional bar-
racer within the next five years. She also plans to pursue a news-anchoring career after college, with hopes to work at a local news station.
"The horses are always going to be a part of my life," Benjamin said. "I see myself still balancing both."
In the meantime, Benjamin said she's happy right where she is.
"If you've ever taken one of those quizzes like 'pick your favorite scene' there's the beach, there's the mountains, there's the jungle and my favorite scene is a dirt road with wild flowers on each side and horses," Benjamin said.

"It was everyone's favorite experience because you knew what you were doing was really making a difference," Loving said.
"You were really helping that community."
On the last day, the locals held a market, selling jewelry and temporary tattoos. Loving learned local dances — "a lot of snake movements, like a conga line."
Loving said that what those communities were dealing with was a lack of resources and health education. The medicine that she and the other volunteers provided was basic and important.
"You take away all the distinction, the money, all the cool technology that we have in America, and it's just you and the patient." Loving said. "That's what I believe that medicine should be. It was very raw."
Each student going on the week-long trip pays about $1,600 total for the Global Brigades program fee and airplane tickets.
This year, 50 University students will participate.
In preparation, the group is bringing in cultural speakers and taking a three-week-long medical Spanish class with a graduate teaching assistant. They recently watched a "Grey's Anatomy" episode about cultural awareness. At the last meeting before they leave, they'll test their abilities with a mock brigade, where nurses will teach students how to take vitals and two medical Spanish teachers will act as patients.
Online registration costs $10 per person. Teams will compete for a $300 firstplace cash prize.

Elderly people should be more valued in university policy
Recently, the KU retirees were informed that the fee for a parking permit would be increased yet again (some of us remember when free on-campus parking was a "perk" for having given many years to the University)
and, as usual, a complaint in reasonable terms was drafted by the retirees club. Then, over the holiday weekend, I received my invitation to the annual retirement luncheon in the Kansas Union and was amused by the passage:
"Parking is available in the... parking garage...for $1.75 for the first hour, then $1.50 a (sic) hour..." I shall not be there even though I could park in the free parking lot for the disabled. This particular instance is perhaps
insignificant, but is another example of the devaluation of the elderly. It is especially disturbing because it is the action of representatives of higher education from an institution that owes its existence to the wisdom and
insight of old people.

MEDIA
Don't fall prey to biased news stories
W hy doesn't the American political system
political system work anymore? Why do the two political factions responsible for running our society simply refuse to seek common ground and instead entrench themselves in their own respective ideologies? Like with most things, the answer rests in a coming together of many influences. One undeniable contributing factor of the hyperpolarization of both American and Kansas politics, however, is the evolution of the 24-hour news network. Through a non-stop tirade of politically charged information pouring into households over the years, these networks have helped to warp national and state politics into the partisan meet that exists today
By Jesse Burbank
opinion@kansan.com
This problem has been developing for decades. With the coming of CNN in 1980, followed by MSNBC and Fox in 1996, the cable news industry began to become crowded with competing firms all offering similar products. As the field became more competitive, networks realized that they would have to find a way to establish a firm viewing base for themselves. In an effort to gain a monopoly over large segments of the public, 24-hour news networks resolved to carve out niche markets using political ideology. Fox News opted for a conservative slant, effectively taking over the untapped market of right-wing viewers that much
of the media had ignored. CNN assumed a centrist path laced with mostly liberal commentators, while MSNBC took on the role of an unabashedly liberal agency.
Over the years, these biases have continued to evolve, blurring the lines between opinion and news. Indeed, a 2013 Pew Research Survey found that "over all, commentary and opinion are far more prevalent on the air throughout the day (63 percent of the airtime) than straight news reporting (37 percent)." According to this study, CNN stands as the only channel that provides more reporting (54 percent) than commentary (46 percent). MSNBC, for comparison, consists of 85 percent commentary versus 15 percent reporting. And finally, Fox falls in between the two with a total of 55 percent opinion and 45 percent reporting. This surplus of commentary often blends seamlessly into the reporting of a story, becoming completely intertwined in the minds of viewers.
Each station's commentary has led to its political orientation becoming increasingly pronounced. Fox has tantalized its viewers with tales of tea parties,the revocation of constitutional
liberties, and "death panels." Meanwhile, MSNBC has railed on about Chris Christie's "bridgegate," and even changed the motto of the station to "The Power of Change" in the week leading up to the 2008 presidential election. Even so,62 percent of Americans continue to use 24-hour cable networks as a source of their news according to a 2014 poll from the American Press Institute.
This modern-day yellow journalism has proven to be a particularly pernicious threat to social and political cohesion within the state and within the country. Because each network feverishly advances its own agenda, loyal viewers of each station operate in two entirely different, incompatible realities. To many viewers of Fox, liberals are the enemies of freedom. To many viewers of MSNBC, conservatives are kooks enthralled by conspiracy theories.
Information is a powerful thing. Don't fall prey to a biased source. Be aware of where your information is coming from and don't automatically dismiss things because they were painted negatively by the commentary of a pundit. Through simply learning to keep an open mind despite the media's best efforts to close it, we find hope for the future of our state and of our nation.

RELIGION
Every time the whistle blows I feel like a herd of wild animals is going to come charging down campus.
FFA OF THE DAY
Faith not about proving salvation
W when one talks negatively about religion.
However, in my own experience, interacting with fellow Muslims and people of other religions, discussions on who has the monopoly over truth is rarely a principle concern. Not only that, but I think there is an undercurrent in interfaith dialogue, which sees the promotion of one religion over another as missing the point of religion altogether.
there always seems to be a statement about the ridiculousness of one faith claiming itself as the only path to salvation to the exclusion of others. How can one religion claim a privileged view on who can and who cannot be saved, especially when such claims are statements of essentially unprovable matters of faith and belief? I'll admit, this is a fair criticism of organized religion.
Practically, it makes sense. Claiming our superiority in possession of the truth (and heaven) usually doesn't go very far. Observe any preacher on campus trying to save souls on Wescoe beach. It just doesn't work. Their self-righteousness completely distances other people as human beings.
Spiritually, religious elitism is a difficult position to maintain. Many American communities are too diverse for divisive religious language. I was raised in St. Louis, Mo., in a neighborhood with a diversity of religious faiths.
And by diversity I'm not talking about having Catholic
By Garrett Fugate
opinion@kansan.com
These different beliefs and approaches we take on salvation and truth are matters of faith. One should not expect others to be convinced of something that is essentially unprovable. One's beliefs are not scientific facts that can be debated. Matters of faith are spiritual positions one takes in regards to their relationship to God.
and Protestant neighbors; I'm talking about the Jewish households with mezuzah hanging from their doorposts, the Sikh family down the culde-sac and the Hindu shrine in my friend's house. Already, the kinds of religious realities I encountered were more complex than inter-Christian arguments over which church would get you to heaven.
In addition, concerns about salvation do not translate easily across every religious tradition, even among Abrahamic faiths. For example, a Christian might talk about how Jesus Christ died for our sins, but the words are lost on Jewish and Muslim ears who simply don't see salvation in terms of God being incarnate in a human being.

Difficulty Level ★★★
The opening immediately sets the stage for intense atmospheres, as a light travels through a dark tunnel while Mica Levi's phenomenally earie score attacks the ears with a powerful humming and aggressive, uneasy strings. Not until the end of this sequence does it become clear what you're actually looking at and that it represents the alien coming into human form.
Johansson portays alien seductress in new film
The only times Johansson talks in her distinctly expressive performance are when she chats up the random men she's stalking, a routine shown repeatedly early on. She'll pull up in the van, ask a stranger walking by for directions and then let her bubbly side show. She finds out if the man has family, if someone's waiting for him and if not, coerces him to ride with her.
"Under the Skin" belongs to the always intriguing genre of arthouse horror, bringing an immersive experience of minimalist sci-fi to the table that fulfills the promise of its title in various ways, chiefly by crawling unnervingly deep under the skin of viewers.
For those who don't fit the criteria, she immediately ends the conversation and drops the façade, coldly driving off. It's like watching someone roving
The idea of an absolutely gorgeous woman roaming around in a white van, trying to pick up lonely men and using her sexuality to snuff them into the abyss, taps into potent fears tied to our lustful basic instincts. Visionary director Jonathan Glazer's arresting execution makes it sublimely creepy, but as the film progresses into exploring the human connection, a fascinating beauty emerges as well.
This chilling character study follows an alien in human form (Scarlett Johansson) who preys on men in Scotland, luring them to their deaths by the promise of sex. There's little story, everything is told visually (without dialogue that easily explains things) and the style is quite artistic. That means it challenges viewers to understand for themselves, while offering bold imagery that switches between dreamlike and nightmarish.

For those whom she does reel in, she takes them to her house and undresses piece by piece while they become ensnared like unwitting flies in a spider web. Accompanied by the ominous score, this process turns into a visually striking, slow tempo, ritualistic seduction dance.
disfigured man, the narrative shifts focus from her indifferent cruelty while hunting to trying to understand the human experience.
Johansson bravely carries the film, going full nude and alternating from flirty babe to intimidating predator, from innocent curiosity to overwhelming confusion. She has the believable, yet subtle precision of a being not of this world, who's slowly absorbing real humanity. For such a big star, this performance reaches iconic status.
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY
Once inside the home, Glazer portrays the environment as all black, and by the time each man has taken off all his clothes, he sinks into an inescapable black liquid. When you eventually see what happens to a victim trapped in the liquid and how it causes his demise, the result is shocking and legitimately horrifying.
It took over a decade to make "Under the Skin," and although Glazer's style will prove too weird and too low-key for average viewers, lacking enough of a plot to draw in wider appeal, this will still be a notable, relevant piece of filmmaking a decade from now. For the arthouse appreciate and those seeking a more lasting kind of scary, this hypnotic, haunting experience steals your breath away.

This Friday, Local Natives will make their first appearance in Lawrence when they play at the Granada. The group hails from California and officially formed in Silver Lake in 2008.
Within just one year, the original members of Local Natives: Taylor Rice (guitar, vocals), Ryan Hahn (guitar, vocals), Kelcey Ayer (keyboard, vocals), Matt Frazier (drums) and Andy Hamm (bass), released their debut album. The album, "Gorilla Manor," showcased the group's layered vocal harmonies, explosive build-ups and heavy drumming.
Hamm left the group in 2011, leaving Rice, Hahn, Ayer and Frazier to work on the next album. The group's second album, "Hummingbird," was released in 2013 and was produced by Aaron Dessner, member of the group The National. The loss of Hamm didn't impact the group's signature collaboration on all aspects of artistry; however, the theme of loss echoes throughout the album. In 2013, the group announced that touring bassist Nik Ewing would officially join
as a full member.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Taylor Rice over the phone to discuss the importance of telling a story, both in a song and in life, among other things:
Q: Where did the idea for the name "Hummingbird" come from?
A: Hummingbird came from the lyrics of a song "Columbia" kind of directly. For us it's kind of homage to Kelcey's mom, she passed away right as we were writing the record, which obviously you know we're like a family, which is a pretty crazy thing to go through, and I think it definitely shaped a lot of that period for us and there's a story in the song. She had loved hummingbirds in her life, and there's kind of a story in the song about it and so it's kind of a dedication to Patricia.
Q: Do you think that Aaron Dessner influenced the overall tone of the album at all? Because it definitely sounds a little more somber than the first album.
A: Yeah, I think Aaron absolutely had an impact working
with us. Though I think the somberness, a lot of the songs were written before we started working with Aaron, so I think that happened to go hand in hand or perhaps that's how we found each other, you know? Things aligning. But his largest impact really had to do with in the studio, how he works, it was a very different way of working for us. Where before, we would just jam everything out live in a room and it would all pretty much be done then we would just record it and lay it down, that's how we worked for "Gorilla Manor." With Aaron in the studio it was a lot more kind of record as you go, spontaneous, layering and building a song, and kind of major things in a song can happen late in the game. I think he had an impact on how we recorded.
Q: So it's been said that a lot of albums fall into a sophomore slump with a second album but this was definitely not the case for "Hummingbird." How do you think that as a group you managed to avoid this?
A: Well, you know, I think it's funny because everybody's perspective is different and when
you're inside something it's kind of more difficult to see it than from the outside, so it's awesome to hear you say that. I think that one thing that we were really careful about, you know there was three years between the first two records, and we toured just so hard, we toured for two years pretty much non-stop. And then we made the record the next year, but that was one thing and I think a lot of bands probably get pressured from labels or people they work with that they have some momentum you need to get another good one out now, and we very early on set a rule for ourselves that no matter how long it took we weren't going to put out another album until we were really ready for it. I think sticking with that was really good and something that probably is really hard for a lot of bands to be able to do that for a second album, so we were really lucky to be able to do that.
Q: Do you guys have any plans as of now for a third album?
A: Yeah, yeah we do. We've been writing back home in L.A. in our studio kind of non-stop
for the last couple of months, and it's been really really great. And we're on this tour right now with Kings of Leon, which has been super fun, but there was this part of us that was sad to leave home and the writing process cause we've really been enjoying working on the record. So we're still kind of in early stages of it, but we'll be mostly home this year working on our third record.
Q: What was the best piece of advice that you've ever been given?
A: As a musician or as a human?
Q: How about both?
A: Okay. As a musician, the best advice that we got, well this is actually kind of just from learning too, going through it the hard way, but this is kind of always the advice you get as a band asking for advice. The thing is just to never expect that somebody else is going to make it happen for you. Or that if you that if you just get signed, or if you just get this one break then you're going to move forward ... that's just a lesson we
learned from kind of doing it ourselves forever since we were kids. But if you take everything into your own hands and really care about every part of what it is to be in a band and share music, I think that's the best advice that I would give to new bands.
Q: And the best advice you've ever been given as a human being?
A: Oh god, that's a lot of pressure. Let's think here. Okay, this is probably not the best advice ever given, but this is most recent awesome advice that I've gotten. Being on tour with the guys from Kings of Leon, and they're basically saying that they want their life to be a story and that they want it to be a really good story, to not be boring. So they're down to basically have crazy things happen to them. I thought that that was really good, really good advice.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $23 or at the door for $25.

After years of setbacks and challenges, the KU Concrete Canoe team will head to Stillwater, Okla., to participate in the American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Continent Conference Regional Concrete Canoe Competition.
Concrete canoe team sets sights on regionals
DALTON KINGERY news@kansan.com
When Jeremy Boger first got involved with the KU Concrete Canoe队, he found a program that had accomplished virtually nothing in competition since the mid-90s, with some years going by without the team even competing. Both the lack of detailed records from previous years and information on concrete canoe construction contributed to the challenges the program had to face.
The KU Concrete Canoe team has been around since 1976 and will be competing in the American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Continent Conference Regional Concrete Canoe Competition from April 24 to April 26. The competition this year takes place at Oklahoma State University and will require the team to design and build a canoe using concrete as the primary material. This is made possible by the concrete mix the teams use, which is designed to have a lower per-unit weight than that of water, improving buoyancy. In addition to this, the competition requires teams to submit presentation materials and race their canoe against other teams.
"We've been trying to document everything," said Boger, a senior from Asheville, N.C., and current captain of the team. "Before, we didn't have much information on past team's canoes, and that's something we're doing differently."
The commitment to documenting as much of the team's
work as possible is one of several ways that the program has changed during Boger's tenure. The team has also developed a reusable canoe mold which should help future teams.
"As a team, we did a really good job this year of building a program that can be sustained from year to year," said co-captain Billy Hirchert, a junior from Washburn, N.D.
One of the most significant changes the team has made to its strategy this year is scheduling weekly practices to prepare for the racing portion of the competition. On most Saturdays, members of the team can be found at Lone Star Lake, southwest of Lawrence, honing their paddling and racing techniques.
"In previous years, our racing performances were mediocre to poor," Boger said. "We had no practice time with the canoe, and moving around a 385-pound canoe is something that you need to practice."
These changes are what have transformed the struggling program into the successful outfit of today, with last year's second-place overall finish at regional competition serving as a sign that the program is ready to be taken seriously.
This year, a second-place finish would likely be a disappointment to a team that has no doubts about where its collective sights are set.
"We want to crush it in the races," Boger said, putting heavy emphasis on crush. "From the beginning our goal has been to win the regional competition and go to the national competition."
The team's new status as one of the top teams in the region is the product of the incredible amount of time that the team members put in over the course of the year, with most members easily clearing the 100-plus hour mark. A handful of members like Boger and Hirchert have logged more than 300 hours of work to prepare the canoe and the team for competition.
"I hadn't really ever sat down and thought about it, but the other day I realized that I had put in over 300 hours," Hirchert said.
These hours, filled with canoe construction and late-night pickups of keys to the engineering school's truck, have served to bring the team closer together to form a close-knit group.
"As a non-traditional student, it's been a great opportunity for me to break the ice with students much younger than me;" Hirchert said.
Knowing that this could be his last year working with the team, Boger shies away from any talk about leaving some sort of lasting legacy on the team he has devoted so much time and energy to.
"I don't know about any legacy. I'm not trying to be Bill Self." Boger said. "I just want people to have a good time building the canoe and really see the connection between what they're building and what they're learning in the classroom."

University students build sustainable community
MADDIE FARBER news@kansan.com
A group of architecture students are helping "build a sustainable future" for their end-of-semester project with an event called Better Block Lawrence this Friday, April 25.
According to its Facebook page, Better Block Lawrence is an event to correspond with this Friday's Final Fridays art walk in Lawrence. Better Block Lawrence is currently engaging local community residents, artists and businesses to help envision a better Ninth Street connecting Massachusetts Street to Pennsylvania Street and the East Lawrence Arts Warehouse District.
+
The goal of Better Block Lawrence is to envision what a sustainable community might look like in the Lawrence Arts District, and to give the local community an opportunity to share its vision for its neighborhood.
Matt Kleinmann, a professor of architecture who teaches a class called Designing Sustainable Futures, has been the head of Better Block Lawrence.
"We have really been taking the communities' voice and envisioning what their neighborhood would be," Kleinmann said. "This is an opportunity for students to get their hands dirty and see how sustainability affects their communities other than just learning about it. It's entirely free to participate and will give the most local artists an idea of where it's most advantageous for their business to be on the north side of Ninth Street."
"This is an opportunity for students to get their hands dirty and see how sustainability affects their communities other than just learning about it."

MacKenzie Davis, junior from Lake Forest, Ill., said this has been a fantastic experience for her.
"It's very theoretical and has been a wonderful chance to dive into [sustainable] design," Davis said. "It's also been a wonderful experience to reach out to the community and participate in community involvement."
Better Block Lawrence will be between Ninth and Pennsylvania streets from 6-10 p.m.

COMMENTARY
Kansas Relays showcase Rock Chalk Park
By Brian Hillix sports@kansan.com
When preparations began for Rock Chalk Park — the new home to the track and field, soccer and softball teams athletic director Sheahon Zenger didn't envision a facility similar to others in the Big 12. He wanted it to be better.
While I haven't seen any other facility in the conference, I can't imagine one that's better than what Rock Chalk Park will look like when it is set to officially open in September.
Pulling off a frantic, Sochi-like effort to get the grounds ready for the relays, Rock Chalk Park debuted in front of thousands of spectators despite the seemingly endless amounts of dirt and construction in what was referred to as a "soft opening" for the park.
If you made the trek to Sixth Street and George Williams Way last week for the Kansas Relays,you got a firsthand glimpse of the venue that will surely rank among the top collegiate athletic facilities in the country.
This opening put a stamp on what has been an ongoing idea for several decades now at Kansas: improved facilities for the University's Olympic sports.
Especially for soccer and softball, Rock Chalk Park will be a big-time upgrade over their current complexes, which aren't even as nice as many high school ones. It will be a major boost for two programs that have underachieved compared to other Kansas sports.
It's a place that is capable of launching these programs — and Kansas Athletics — to a whole new level.
Once you visit the renowned park in West Lawrence,you will quickly realize it's not an ordinary place.
SOFTBALL Kansas heads to Waco for weekend series PAGE 38
Edited by B'air Sheade
"We play against teams with some of the best facilities in the country," soccer coach Mark Francis said. "And you can see it on our kids' faces when we go out there...the thought of 'How come we don't have something like that?'...I'm really excited that our players are going to get to play in a facility they deserve."
It will be an added incentive to recruits, who typically select their college based on a combination of factors including academics, proximity to home, coaching staff, teammates, etc. But when all is equal, a university's facilities could prove to be the difference. Now, Kansas has a powerful selling point.
"When people see this stadium, they will know that Kansas supports softball and Kansas supports women's athletics," softball coach Megan Smith said.
"This is a place that will welcome recruits and a place that our athletes can call home," track and field coach Stanley Redwine said. "This is something that is going to help our athletes improve in everything that they do."
At the groundbreaking ceremony last April, the coaches of the three sports discussed the impact the park will have on their programs now and in the future.

Jayhawks lose to the Bears in the ninth
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Freshman pitcher Stephen Villines shows off his pickoff move during the seventh inning. Villines got out of a jam, retiring three straight batters in the eighth.
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
It had appeared as though freshman reliever Stephen Villines was untouchable. He swiped the closer role during conference play, from Preseason Closer of Year Candidate Jordan Piché, and looked to be one of the more promising relievers in the country.
"I like his makeup, I like his adversity, he has been unbelievable, but freshmen will have peaks and valleys," said coach Ritch Price.
Clinging to a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth over Missouri State (18-19), it looked like Villines was going to record his fifth save of the season and get a Jayhawks victory. That was until four left-handed batters faced the freshman, getting three runs on three hits and an error by sophomore third baseman Colby Wright. That was enough for the Bears to defeat Kansas 6-5 in Hoglund Ballpark.
"The last three (losses) have been huge," Price said. "We have had opportunities to win, just couldn't finish the deal, there is no sugar coating it, this was devastating."
Coming in Villines had a stunning 0.61 ERA in 17 appearances, in just under 30 innings of work. It seemed as though nothing could disrupt the cool and collected freshman, but that was until he saw a left-handed batter.
"That's the first bump in the road Stephen has had. It's obvious he struggles against left-handers," Price said. "He has to add one more plus pitch to negate the left-handed hitters."
Another freshman pitcher, Jon Hander, got the start after pitching his way into the mid-week starting role. He tossed 5.2 innings, allowing two runs off four hits. He allowed two of those hits in the sixth inning with a 1-0 lead. Hander who seemed unhittable through five, loaded the bases up with two outs before Price put in junior Drew Morovick.
"I was pleased to see the freshman go to the sixth inning, despite not having his best stuff." Price said. "It's nice to have a guy like Morovick in the bullpen."
Morovick gave up a two-run single up the middle, and the lead, but recovered quickly after that. He tossed 1.1 innings, allowing one run off four hits in relief.
"Suiter has been good all
"It's a role he (Morovick) has to pitch for us," Price said. "Drew gives us the ability to use him multiple days, we need more guys with experience pitching late in games."
Down 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth with the bases loaded, Price elected to pinch hit freshman Michael Tinsley,
Junior left fielder Michael Suiter hit two insurance RBIs, one on a single in the sixth, and a double in the eighth, to finish the evening 5-5 at the plate. He had two RBIs on four singles and a double.
who answered the call with a two-run double to right center to take back the lead.
year, hitting that three hole," said senior shortstop Justin Protacio. "He is the best hitter in the lineup, he proved it tonight."
Despite the blown save, Price is confident that Villines will be back out there the next time the Jayhawks have a lead in the ninth inning.
"I completely trust him,"
Price said.
With the loss, the Jayhawks now move to 3-7 in their midweek games and 23-20 overall on the season. They have a tough road ahead if they wish to make a bid at the NCAA Tournament.

Kansas sends five to Big 12 Championships

The Kansas men's golf team travels to Trinity, Texas, for the 2014 Big 12 Championships this weekend, April 25-27. The event will be held at the Whispering Pines Country Club, a 7,021-yard, par-72 course. A first-place finish would catch the attention of

"We need to make progress every day, every round and with every person," Bermel said.
Last season. Haas competed at the Big 12 Championships for the first time in Hutchinson at the Prairie Dunes Country Club, finishing 41st that day and fourth on the Kansas team with scores of 78 (in rounds 1 and 2) and 77 in round 3. The tournament capped off his season average at 76.2 strokes per round.
This year, Haas'a average sits almost right on that
mark: 76.26. With a solid tournament this weekend,
he can help both himself, on the stat-sheet, and his team,
by improving on last year's finish.
"We're there to win it," Bermel said. "We're not going there to finish second."
Kansas placed eighth overall last year at the championships, and looks to improve on that position this year. Kansas has not won the Big 12 Golf Championship since 1999.

Oldest former MLB player leaves lasting legacy
Thinking about the oldest things in baseball, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field come to mind. Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are 102 and 100 years old, respectively. What's older than Fenway and Wrigley? Conrado "Connie" Marrero was. Marrero was the oldest former Major League Baseball player alive as of April 23 this year. He was born April 25, 1911, just one year before Fenway Park opened. Marrero died just two days before his 103rd birthday.
By Amie Just
sports@kansan.com
Before his major league days, Marrero played amateur baseball in Cuba, his home country. He was on the Cuban team for the Ameteur World Series five times, winning the gold medal three times (1939, 1940 and 1942). He was also on the 1941 silver medal team and the 1944 bronze medal team. He was one of the most successful pitchers to ever take the mound in Cuban Amateur History, winning 123 games during his seven-year playing stint from 1938 to 1945.
After his amateur days, he signed
with the National Federation league in the winter of 1946. Just a few months later, he pitched against two Major League teams, the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers when they were having their spring training sessions in Cuba. In the game against the Yankees, Marrero allowed four hits and one run, beating the Yankees. Against the Dodgers, he allowed four hits and one-run. His Cuban League career record was 69-43. That winning percentage of .600 still is sitting sixth in the all-time charts for the Cuban League.
Marrero played in the minor leagues for three years (1947-1949), pitching
tor the Havana Cubans. In the 1947 season, his record was 25-6. He played in 28 complete games and pitched seven shutouts with 251 strikeouts.
in 1950, he moved up to the major leagues, pitching for the Washington Senators. He made his major league debut on April 21, 1950 when he was four days shy of being 39 years old. Just one season later, Marrero was named to the American League All-Star team, even though he didn't play. Regardless of playing or not, at that point in time he was the oldest first-time All-Star.

Kansas hopes to keep momentum after relays
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
Coming off a successful weekend at the 87th Kansas Relays, where the Jayhawks grabbed 13 event titles, the Kansas track and field teams will now travel to Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend for the 105th Drake Relays. The collegiate portion of the historic event, which will end Saturday, April 26, will feature some of the top programs in the country, which will hopefully bring out the best in the Jayhawks as the Big
12 Outdoor Championships loom just three weeks away.
Junior Michael Stigler proved last weekend that he is currently on top of his game, emerging from the Kansas Relays as the weekend's Most Outstanding Male Performer. Much of the reason Stigler received the honor was for his performance in the 400-meter hurdles, running a 49.35, which is not only the fastest time in the NCAA this season, but is the fifth-fastest time recorded in the world so far in 2014. Following this performance, he went
on to help the men's 4x100-meter relay team capture the win. Stigler, the two-time defending 400-meter hurdle champion in the Big 12, will look to continue his success this weekend, as he is slotted to compete once again in both the 400-meter hurdle and the 4x100-meter relay.
(21'4"), which put her at third in the NCAA rankings, and then taking to the track to help the women's 4x100-meter relay team capture the victory. Conley is expected to be back competing in both events this weekend.
Also looking to keep the ball rolling from last weekend will be sophomore Sydney Conley. Conley was outstanding on both the track and the field last weekend, winning the long jump with a personal best mark of 6.50 meters
Junior Lindsay Vollmer, the defending NCAA outdoor heptathlon champion, will be looking to fine tune some of her multi-event skills over the weekend as she prepares for the conference and national meets. Because Vollmer has already qualified for the Big 12 and NCAA
championships in her main event, the heptathlon, Vollmer will elect to forgo this weekend's heptathlon and instead compete in the 100-meter hurdles. Although the 100-meter hurdles is not technically Vollmer's main event, she will more than likely be in contention this weekend, as she is coming off a 100-meter hurdles title at last weekend's Kansas Relays.
The layhawks relay teams, which dominated last weekend, taking home titles in five of the eight relay events, will also be back in action
this weekend. Expectations will be high, as three of last weekend's title-winning teams are expected to compete in Des Moines.
Action from Drake Stadium began Wednesday, April 23, with the first stages of the decathlon and heptathlon and is expected to conclude on Saturday, April 26, around 4:30 p.m.

Jayhawks to face Bears in Texas weekend series
AMIE JUST sports@kansan.com
Kansas softball (29-16) heads to No. 14 Baylor (32-12) to play one of its last series of the season. Kansas leads the all-time series 25-22, but Baylor won its last matchup in 2013 5-4. First pitch is scheduled for Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Waco, Texas.
Over the season, Baylor is hitting .302 as a team, while Kansas is hitting .300. The Baylord squad has hit 48
doubles, five triples and 46 home runs on the season, chalking up a .469 slugging percentage. Kansas has hit 67 doubles, five triples and 26 home runs with a slugging percentage of .428.
The series between the Bears and the Jayhawks looks to be a pitcher's duel, considering Baylor's pitching staff leads the conference with the lowest
Individually, five of Baylor's starters have higher than a .300 batting average. Kansas tallies the same amount.
If Kansas pulls off a win against the Bears, it will be the second time this season that the Jayhawks have won against a ranked opponent. When Kansas faced Kentucky (then ranked No. 8) on March 23, the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 7-5.

State, 6-5. Kansas has fallen to 23-20 on the season.
The Baylor Bears are 19-21 on the season and lost their last Big 12 series to Kansas State in Manhattan. The Bears have struggled on the season, as they are 5-9 in conference after having dropped three straight.
The Jayhawks have been struggling as of recently, they have lost four straight games and eight of their last ten. Kansas is 6-9 in the Big 12 this season and haven't won a series since they played the Wildcats in Manhattan.
The Jayhawks will win the series if...
Sunday. If the Jayhawks can salvage a win in one of the first two games of the series, they will be in a good position to win the series. Duncan leads Kansas starters with a 2.09 ERA on the season. The senior has been the stopper for Kansas this season on Sundays. Duncan has a 4-2 record on the season and has gone the distance three times. He has struck out 60 batters on the season and has only walked 11 batters. Duncan has truly stepped up in his senior role and gives Kansas a great chance to win every time he steps on the mound.
"Baylor is a pesky team," said junior shortstop Justin Protocio. "They like to bunt."
Kansas' starting pitchers don't go deep into games. The Jayhawks' pitching staff is depleted. Friday night starter Wes Benjamin is out for the season having Tommy John surgery. Senior right-hander Jordan Piche has been starting for Kansas and has struggled, allowing 17 runs in his first three starts. Kansas will need the starters to pitch a lot of innings and get the ball to freshman right-hander Stephen Villines with a lead.

Kansas starts to play cleaner baseball. In the beginning of the season, the Jayhawks played clean, smooth defense and their pitchers were confident in their defenders. The Jayhawks lost to Missouri State on an error as the final run was unearned. Kansas also needs to stay hot with the bat. The Jayhawks remain in the top 5 in the Big 12 in team
batting average, and junior outfieldier Michael Suiter remains in the top 10 for batting average. Suiter went 5-5 against Missouri State

A Buddhist monk lights the funeral pyre of Nepalese climber Ang Kaji Sherpa, who was killed in an avalanche on Mount Everest in Katmandu, Nepal, on Monday. Buddhist monks cremated the remains of Sherpa guides who were buried in the deadliest avalanche ever recorded on Mount Everest.
Sherpas leave Everest expeditions nix climbs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KATMANDU, Nepal Sherpa guides were leaving Mount Everest's base camp on Wednesday as part of a walkout following the mountain's deadliest disaster, as some expedition companies announced that they were canceling their climbs this season.
American climber Ed Marzec said he saw several Sherpas leaving the base camp and many others packing up their tents. Some were loading their equipment onto a helicopter that had landed at the camp.
"There are a lot of Sherpas leaving this morning, and in the next two days there will be a huge number that will follow," Marzec, 67, from San Diego, said by phone from the base camp. He said he had already decided to abandon his climb.
Tusli Gurung, a guide who was at the base camp on Wednesday, estimated that nearly half the Sherpas had already left.
The walkout is certain to disrupt a climbing season that was already marked by grief following Friday's disaster. Sherpa guides were hauling climbing gear between camps when a chunk of ice tore loose and triggered an avalanche. Thirteen bodies were recovered and three Sherpas still missing are presumed dead.
"It is just impossible for many of us to continue climbing while there are three of our friends buried in the snow," said Dorje Sherpa, an experienced Everest guide from the tiny Himalayan
community that has become famous for its high-altitude skills and endurance.
"I can't imagine stepping over them," he said of the three Sherpa guides who remain buried in ice and snow.
Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International announced it was calling off its expedition. "We have all agreed the best thing is to not continue this season's climb, so that all can mourn the loss of family, friends and comrades in this unprecedented tragedy," the company said on its website.
New Zealand-based Adventure Consultants also said it was canceling its expedition this season.
Marzec said some smaller companies were hoping to go ahead with their climbs.
The avalanche was triggered when a massive piece of glacier sheared away from the mountain along a section of constantly shifting ice and crevasses known as the Khumbu Icefall — a treacherous area where overhanging immensities of ice as large as 10-story buildings hang over the main route up the mountain.
Special teams of Sherpas, known as Icefall Doctors, fix ropes through what they hope to be the safest paths, and use aluminum ladders to bridge crevasses. But the Khumbu shifts so much that they need to go out every morning - as they were doing when disaster struck Friday - to repair sections that have broken overnight and move the climbing route if needed.
some of the Sherpas' demands in the threatened walkout, such as setting up a relief fund for Sherpas who are killed or injured in climbing accidents, but the funding falls far short of the Sherpas' demands.
Nepal's government appeared to agree Tuesday to
After the avalanche, the government quickly said it would pay the families of each Sherpa who died 40,000 rupees, or about $415. The Sherpas said they deserved far more — including more insurance money, more financial aid for the victims' families and new regulations that would ensure climbers' rights.
On Tuesday,the government's offer was modified to include a relief fund to help Sherpas injured in mountaineering accidents and the families of those killed, and to pay for rescue during accidents on the mountain. The government said it would stock the fund annually with 5 percent of its earnings from Everest climbing fees - well below the 30 percent the Sherpas are demanding. Nepal earns some $3.5 million annually in Everest climbing fees.
the insurance payout for those killed on the mountain will also be doubled to $15,620 (2 million rupees), the Ministry of Tourism said — far short of the Sherpas' demand for $20,800.
Most attempts to reach the summit are made in midMay, when weather is most favorable. If the Sherpas boycott the season, many climbers will have to forfeit most or all of the money they have spent to go up Everest — at a cost of $75,000 or more.

CHICAGO — For Wrigley Field, it really was the party of a century.
Exactly 100 years after the Chicago Federals pounded the Kansas City Packers in the first game at Wrigley, the famed ballpark got quite the birthday bash on Wednesday afternoon. Hall of Famers such as Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins and Andre Dawson were on hand, and so were Bears greats Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers.
Yes, it was quite an afternoon, a day of celebration. A day of reflection, too. The memories, the stories, flowed like runs in a big rally.
"It just gives me goose bumps because I had a chance to play here," Williams said. "I often said this was my playground during the summer for so many years. So I have enjoyed it and I still enjoy it."

For Wrigley Field, it's the birthday party of a century
The celebration came as Cubs ownership and the neighboring rooftop owners remain in a standstill over proposed renovations. The $500 million project, which includes a giant lumbotron, is on hold because the Ricketts family wants assurances that it won't be sued over
MLB
The ballpark has hosted everything from boxing to soccer to the circus to the rodeo to concerts to a Chicago Blackhawks game. There was even this: On back-to-back weekends in January 1944, ski jumpers leapt from scaffolding covered in snow and ice and landed behind second base.
In many ways, Wrigley Field has seen everything but a Cubs championship. Of course, they haven't won one since 1908 — eight years before they started playing at what was then known as Weeghman Park.
"This ownership didn't," Selig said.
Of course, the Bears celebrated a few at Wrigley. They won NFL championship games there in 1933, 1941, 1943 and 1963 before they moved to Soldier Field in 1971.
He said the treatment the current owners—the Ricketts family — has received is "beyond unfair" and that he will do everything he "possibly can" to help them. He also said the Ricketttess have not approached him about moving, that they're committed to renovating Wrigley and staying there.

"You can't ask a team to be competitive and you can't ask people to do things and then tie their hands and their legs." Commissioner Bud Selig said. "It's just wrong. Somebody has to say it so I'm happy to say it."
It's also worth mentioning that the rooftop owners, who charge fans to sit in bleachers atop their buildings, have a contract under which they share 17 percent of their revenues with the Cubs. The Tribune Co., the previous

Ushers wore party hats. Fans received birthday cupcakes and throwback jerseys. There was a replica Wrigley Field cake from Carlo's Bakery, setting of the hit TLC show "Cake Boss", near the statue of Banks outside the ballpark. A portion was to be served to guests at the charity event at Chicago's Field Museum.
"They know the right thing to do for this franchise and this sport is to preserve this, just like the Red Sox
preserved Fenway," said Selig, who made his first trip to the ballpark in May 1944.

Commission releases unofficial election results
AMELIA ARVESEN
news@kansan.com
In the unofficial election results disclosed by the Elections Commission, Grow KU won the presidential and vice presidential positions, as well as 52 senator positions.
A hearing to certify the results, or deem them official, is scheduled for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
The email with results said voters who would like to contest the results before certification may file a written complaint with the Elections Commission within 24 hours of the public release.
Complaints must be timestamped in the Kansas Union Administrative Office and submitted to the Elections Commission document box today at 10 a.m.
Jake Rapp, chair of the Elections Commission, said it's possible it will hear complaints during the allotted hearing time, however, if there are no complaints the results will be certified.
According to the email, no votes were counted for members of the Jayhawkers coalition due to its disqualification prior to the election — a decision made by the Elections Commission and upheld by the University Judicial Board on April 24. Below is the Commission's statement:
"All students who voted in this election had the opportunity to vote for candidates and coalitions who were not disqualified. In order to maintain the integrity of the elections process, the unofficial and official results released by the Elections Commission will only list eligible candidates. We believe that this is the best way to preclude misleading information from circulating and to fulfill our responsibility to 'ensure fair and honest elections', as outlined in the Student Senate Rules and Regulations."
"I think the people that are elected will make the right decisions and lead us into the right progression."
KEVIN HUNDELT Presidential candidate
Morgan Said, the presidential candidate of Grow KU, said she was grateful that the student body was cooperative and patient throughout the process. She said she looks forward to the next steps, such as moving into the office and starting the summer months strong.
"Although not everyone will agree with the outcome, I hope that everyone will agree that
the system worked out the way that it was designed to work," Said said.
Presidential candidate of Jayhawkers, MacKenzie Oatman, said she was disappointed the full results weren't released. She said she had no comment regarding the Jayhawkers' next steps.
"We're going to fight to make sure that everyone on the ballot results are accounted for," Oatman said.
Even though Crimson and True wasn't elected into executive office, presidential candidate Kevin Hundelt said he still plans to be involved with Senate.
"I think the students are in good hands," Hundelt said. "I think the people that are elected will make the right decisions and lead us into the right progression of the University."
The presidential and vice presidential election garnered 4,332 votes, a number Rapp said is the most accurate total the system provided.
To the right are the unofficial results from the election, scheduled for certification next week.

Farmer's Ball names Psychic Heat battle of the bands winner
(2)
RRFNDAN O'FARRELL/KANSAN
BRENDAN O'FARRELL news@kansan.com
Lawrence-based "ADHD rock" band Psychic Heat won first place at the 20th annual Farmer's Ball at The Bottleneck Saturday night. The Farmer's Ball, a competition hosted by KJHK and Student Union Activities, pits 60 of Lawrence's bands against each other in a competition to win $2,000.
Taking to the stage with a self-described "ADHD rock" sound similar to '60s and '70s psychedelic rock and a guitarist dressed as a girl, Psychic Heat rocked the 20th annual Farmer's Ball competition Saturday night, winning the first place prize of $2,000. The band is made up of four members: Evan Herd on lead vocals and guitar, Ricky Barkosky on drums, Sam Boatright on bass and Tanner Spreer on guitar.
The OILS came in second place, winning $1,000. The other contestants, Paper Buffalo and the Westerners received promotional prizes.
"It's really surreal, hearing it from people. 'You're going to kick ass, you're going to land
Originally 60 local bands were in the contest, but committee selection, online voting and audience voting narrowed it down to four bands competing in the finals. The audience voted for their favorite two bands, but ultimately selected Psychic Heat as the winner.
"What do fans like about us? Probably the fact that they saw a grown man on stage wearing a dress and probably my undercarriage at some point," Spreer said. "But I really don't know why they chose us. It's really weird."
it," Boatright said. "You write it off and whatever, and then it actually happens. It's a great feeling."
The band plans to use the winnings to pay for some recent recordings and to distribute a recently recorded album
to the public. As for future plans, Spreer says he hopes to go on tour with the OILS. He hopes to play with them and do some collaborations. Though the battle of the bands is a competition, Spreer sees it as more of a learning experience than a competition.
"I've messaged just about every single one of these bands and it's never ever felt like it's nothing but a family," Spreer said. "Everywhere probably has good music, but it's nice to know that there's not people really shit-talking each other."
"That's the thing about [making music in] Lawrence, it's very incestuous in a good way," Boatright said.
The band grew out of jam sessions between Spreer and Herd about a year and a half ago with Boatright and Bar-
kosky joining the band a few months after that. Boatright met Spreer and Herd at The Merc, a local community market and deli where they all work. Boatright and Barkosky
Index
joined the band after some jam sessions, filling in the bass and drums spots, respectively.
"It's started off really organically and I think each show has gotten more and more fun and
crazy for us," Boatright said.

Boxing instructor aims for international gold medal
FISHER
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
Mioshia "Yosh" Wagoner practices at Title Boxing Club in Lawrence. Wagoner was the United States Women's Boxing Campion in 2008.
TOM DEHART/KANSAN
For some University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents, stringing together combinations on hanging heavy, stuffed black bags is a good way to get in shape. For Mioshia Wagoner, a boxing instructor and trainer at Lawrence's Title Boxing Club, located at 1520 Wakarusa Dr., boxing is more than that — it's a part of her larger life goals.
Wagoner, who is more wellknown by her nickname "Yosh," has come close to receiving an international gold medal before. In 2008, Wagoner was the United States Women's Boxing Champion, but at the Women's World Boxing Championship in Ningbo, China, she received a silver medal after being defeated by Tang Jieli of China in the light heavyweight division. Now, she's working her way back toward another chance at international success.
"I think, if anything, this has really been a challenge for me," Wagoner said. "I've never really had anything that challenged me this way, and
you know, being at the level [where I was] going to China in 2008; and kind of falling short with a silver medal. It's always been something where I really want to go back and see if I can do something with it again."
After stepping away from boxing for a bit, Wagoner has been working over the last six months to get back into shape. She's lost weight, dropping down a couple classes and is now sitting at around 130 pounds. It's a weight class she says she wants to be competing at in the future.
"This time I really wanted to put my all into it, actually focus on it and train as hard as I could," Wagoner said. "It's been a process, but for me it's like I've never seen my full potential. So right now, [with] this kind of being my last shot to do something with boxing, I'm trying to do as much as I can."
Wagoner isn't the only female boxer in Lawrence though. A number of female University students have taken her classes when looking for a workout opportunity and one has even begun to train for a tournament at the
end of this approaching summer.
Emma Halling, a junior from Hays who attends Wagoner's classes at Title Boxing and also trains personally with her at Haskell University, is preparing for the Golden Gloves Tournament in August.
"She makes boxing really fun and approachable, especially as a woman," Halling
did. "You see Manny Pacquiao and stuff on TV and you think, 'There's no way I can do that.'"
Other students, like Subha Upadhyayula, a junior from Leawood, box for a good workout that involves less running and provides a little more variety than traditional workouts. After taking Wagoner's boxing classes last year, she's begun to work out as early as 6 a.m.
"She makes her workouts really hard, but she changes them and modifies them to fit your needs," Upadhyayula said. "That's what I like about her, she's not discouraging at all. If anything, she is probably one of the most encouraging people that I know."

Teen stowaway desperate to see mother
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
SAN JOSE, Calif. — He was young, displaced and frustrated, and he wanted nothing more than to reunite with his mother in their native Africa.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A 15-year-old boy, seen sitting on a stretcher center, who stowed away in the wheel well of a flight from San Jose, Calif., to Maui is loaded into an ambulance at Kahului Airport in Kahului, Maui, Hawaii on April 20.
The 15-year-old Somali boy had been arguing at home, and in the kind of impulsive move that teenagers make, he hopped a fence at San Jose International Airport last Sunday and clambered into a wheel well of a Hawaiibound jetliner.
He survived the trip, and he has not spoken publicly about the ordeal.
But his desperation and frustration — borne from a life in a new country and new culture, all of it without his mother — is becoming apparent through interviews with friends, family and law enforcement agents.
His father, Abdulahi Yusuf, said in a statement issued through a family spokesman Sunday that his son is "struggling adjusting to life in this country."
Our situation was aggravated by our displacement in Africa for many years after
fleeing our home country of Somalia because of war conditions. As a result, my son was not able to receive any formal education before we immigrated to the United States," the statement said.
The father said he plans to fly to Hawaii soon to reunite with his son and is "excited to bring him back home to his family in California." He said the family was "deeply concerned" when the boy went missing and was relieved to hear he was safe.
The struggles faced by immigrant children were echoed by Talha Nooh from the Muslim Community Association, where the family were members.
"What people need to understand is that these young teens are coming from a country torn by a civil war with no basic education and suddenly put in these high schools or elementary schools where they have a cultural shock," Nooh said.
"This whole thing should be looked at in the context of a teen who is emotionally attached to his mom and grandparents," Nooh said. "The father is working 24 hours a day to take care of family here and other family members in the horn of Africa."
For decades, Somalia, where the family is from, has been plagued with internal conflict, drought and violence. Today more than 1 million Somali refugees are living in neighboring Kenya, Ethiopia and Yemen.
A United Nations official told The Associated Press that the boy's mother, 33, lives at the Sheder Refugee Camp in
Ethiopia, which houses about 10.200 displaced Somalis.
Speaking with Voice of America radio from a refugee camp in eastern Ethiopia, the teen's mother, Ubah Mohamed Abdullahi, said her son had recently learned that she was alive after being told by his father she had died.
"I know he was looking for me, and I am requesting the U.S. government to help me reunite with my kids," she told VOA. She said her ex-husband took their three children to
California without her knowledge, and that she hadn't heard from them since 2006.
But community members said the parents had gone through a difficult divorce and that there are differing versions of what their children were told. The family is working with the Council on American-Islamic Relations to help communicate with medical providers, law enforcement, social workers and the media.

Democrat Aiken goes for GOP-heavy House district
RALEIGH, N.C. — Singer-songwriter Clay Aiken doesn't have a problem with name recognition. But that doesn't mean voters in North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District will send the "American Idol" star to Washington to represent them in Congress.
Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers has represented the district for two terms and would like to make it three. The tea party favorite has a good shot at doing so.
The GOP-controlled state
registirement gave Republicans the advantage when they redrew congressional districts in 2011. A veteran House Democrat who barely survived in 2012 opted to retire at the end of his term, while others in President Barack Obama's party face an uphill battle — even a well-known personality like Alken.
welcome personality that North Carolina offers clues as to why Democrats have little chance to retake control of the House from Republicans in the 2014 elections. An unpopular president in his sixth year in office combined with a divisive health care law are a drag on Democrats and energize
core Republican voters in what are traditionally low-turnout midterm elections.
eilmers, a 50-year-old nurse first elected in the tea party wave of 2010, captured 56 percent of the 2012 GOP primary and the general election vote in her district. That year, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney won nearly 6 in 10 votes in the district and narrowly defeated Obama statewide.

Taking the elevator is lazy and morally wrong
Out of all of the possible moral questions I could've
questions I could've chosen to write about for this piece, I've chosen a truly important one: Should I or should I not ride the elevator? I can't count the times I've walked by an elevator on campus in the past few years and shook my head. Why do so many people ride the elevator to go up one floor?
This problem is similar to dozens of other daily choices we make: Should I recycle this newspaper? Should I eat healthy? Should I go to class? Should I exercise? These are all decisions that affect the environment, our health, productivity and so on. Yet while the "right" answers to
these questions (i.e. recycling this paper because it reduces waste) seem simple from an objective standpoint that maximizes health, minimizes waste, etc., many of us make lame excuses to ourselves in order to make the "wrong" decision (i.e. not recycling this paper because there isn't a recycling bin right next to you).
By Sebastian Schoneich
opinion@kansan.com
There are lots of these kinds of excuses for unnecessary elevator usage. Unless you have a good reason, using the elevator to go up one floor is just silly. Some say that if the elevator is going anyway, it won't make a difference to join in (this only works if you weigh zero pounds). Others say that because energy usage
per ride is so small, it makes no significant difference to ride the elevator every once in a while. But I'm willing to bet that most one-floor-riders are just lazy bums.
10,837 kwh in a year. Imagine the energy savings if everyone who's capable of using the stairs would take them instead of elevators, especially going down.
Fortunately, it's true that elevators don't expend a huge amount of energy per ride. But, the rides add up. A loose estimate of the total energy consumption in one year of an elevator in Wescoe Hall, calculated using figures by elevator manufacturer Kone, is about 9000 kilowatt-hours. To put this into perspective, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average American household uses
Now, if you don't care about the energetics of elevator usage or if you don't think that elevator usage poses any moral problem at all. I have another argument for you.
another argument for you. You know how you only realize how useful your pinky finger is when you injure it? Only those who are injured or disabled can understand what it means to be unable to walk up the stairs. Those of us who haven't experienced having difficulty walking can't fully understand the beauty of being able to take the stairs.
It's because of this that I think using elevators without good reason is insulting to both ourselves and those who actually need them. This is the kind of practical knowledge that grandparents teach us. Basically, don't use the elevator unless you need to. When we use elevators without a good reason, we're just perpetuating a culture of laziness.
Elevators aren't evil, but they are often misused. Don't laziness make the decision for you. Also, don't ride the elevator in running gear, you'll just look like a fool.

RELIGION
Pope Francis can inspire regardless of affiliation
A little more than a year ago, the world was introduced to Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who had just been elected pope. Shortly after his election, stories of Pope Francis' humility and emphasis on Christian love began to circulate on Facebook and online news sites. There was the account of the pope riding the bus back to his apartment in Rome on the night of his election, the images of him praying with various people and the interview in which he said, "Who am I to judge?" when asked about gay people. Many people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, have viewed these acts as signs that Pope Francis intends to fundamentally change church teachings and bring it "up-to-date" with progressive society. Those who are holding their breath waiting for His Holiness to change the church's positions on abortion, contraception, gay marriage or women priests will have to keep holding their breath.
Pope Francis is not a grand crusader, devoted to changing church teachings on hot-button issues; he recognizes and affirms the long history of tradition and doctrine in the church. However, Francis is revolutionary in his calls to simplicity, humility and
By Alex Johnson opinion@kansan.com
generosity to the poor. He places emphasis on the true message of the Gospel: Jesus loves everyone and wants us to love everyone, too. The real success of Pope Francis is that he has caused people to focus more on this central message of the Catholic Church and less on the particular applications of this message on controversial issues.
The church's stances on contraception, gay marriage, etc., are not fundamental to its overall mission to serve all people, however, these stances are not going to change. Higher on the Pope's priority list is increased dialogue between different religious groups and cooperation among these groups to serve the world's poor. One key way he has tried to accomplish these goals is by softening the language he uses when answering questions about the sticky issues. He gives essentially the same answer to these questions as his predecessors did, but with a heavy dose of compassion included.
So how can we follow Francis' example on campus? One obvious way is for the different religious or ideological groups on campus to collaborate
in efforts to serve the disadvantaged. The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center could organize a food drive with the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA), or the Young Democrats and College Republicans could work together on a voter registration drive. The different religious groups could host forums where they discuss what beliefs they have in common instead of the ones they disagree on. After establishing friendly relations and defining common ground, the groups can then start to discuss their differences and the reasons for these differences in a civilized way that hopefully leads to a greater understanding of the others.
Francis was publicly recognized for his example by publications that range from Time to The Advocate to Rolling Stone. None of those are known for being Catholic apologists and are, in most cases, hostile to the church. The fact that even they can recognize the good work being done by the current Pope shows that we don't have to be Catholic to follow his example.

Affirmative action still necessary
this week, the Supreme Court made a
This week, Court made a decision affirming the constitutionality of Michigan putting affirmative action to a vote. Many people believe this means that the Supreme Court decided that affirmative action is no longer needed, but that's just not true. While some justices sitting on the bench certainly believe that affirmative action is no longer necessary because we live in a "color blind" society, their ruling did not make affirmative action unconstitutional. All it did was deem voting to ban affirmative action constitutional.
As a middle-class white female, I understand why some people don't like the idea of affirmative action. After all, it places a value on race, which we've been taught is bad. But this view ignores the fact that the way our society functions is inherently biased toward whites. Affirmative action levels the playing field between white applicants who have lived in a system that puts them first and minority applicants who have lived in a system that doesn't.
One thing that affirmative action fails to take into account is the socioeconomic status of the applicant, which I believe can be just as big a factor as race in determining

how society treats a person. People can't control what color skin they have, but they also can't control their parents are and what kind of opportunities are afforded them. In this country, there is disdain toward people who are poor and aren't "working hard enough" to get out of their poverty, which creates a system that is just as biased toward whites as it is toward people with money.
The Supreme Court ruling means that Michigan voters can choose to get rid of affirmative action if that's what they really want. While I would certainly benefit from doing away with affirmative action, it's not something that I personally would vote for, at least at this point in time. Until our society functions in a way that actually grants equal opportunity to everyone, affirmative action will guarantee that I won't be surrounded solely by middle-class white people like myself during my formative years.

'Brick Mansions' poor tribute to Paul Walker
FILM
P
By Andrew Hoskins entertain@kansan.com
RELATIVITY MEDIA
If you handed a pack of drunken monkeys $4 million, fancy cameras, guns, fast cars and extra booze,
"Brick Mansions" is probably what would come out the other end. It's bad. If you want to know just how bad, read on.
The term "Brick Mansions" comes from the fictional, futuristic ghetto that exists in 2018 Detroit. In the minds of the screenwriters, Detroit gets so bad in the future that a massive, impenetrable concrete wall must be build around the lower-class neighborhood to separate the riff raff from the rest of society. The area was originally a brick housing project — hence the name "Brick Mansions" — but the crime got so out of control that the Detroit mayor built the wall around the neighborhood. A tough drug dealer named Tremaine (Robert Diggs) leads the toughest gang in Brick Mansions, and seems to have dictatorial jurisdiction over the whole place.
Once it's been established Lino and Tremaine hate each other, another little subplot is introduced. A slick Detroit detective named Damien (Paul Walker) has been assigned to go into Brick Mansions and disarm a powerful government bomb that was captured by some of Tremaine's henchmen. With the bomb in the hands of a maniac like Tremaine, there's no telling what might happen. Oh, also Tremaine killed Damien's dad years ago, so Damien is out for blood. Naturally, Damien and Lino team up at this point because they both hate Tremaine and form a tough, bullet-dodging duo who both seem to instinctively backflip at the first sign of trouble. I won't give away the rest, but highly advise not seeing it unless you're a Paul Walker fan.
At odds with Tremaine is a French parkour master named Lino (David Belle), who is a small-time drug dealer in the neighborhood. Tremaine wants Lino dead for some reason — I had a very hard time paying attention — but the slippery Frenchman escapes the drug lord's henchmen. Tremaine catches Lino's cute girlfriend, Lola (Catalina Denis), in order to lure him into his lair. But somehow Lino rushes in and saves Lola in a flash of bullets and fancy parkour moves.
It's inherently a movie that feeds in the depths of the sappy action genre that we Americans know and love, but I'll be nicer to it than that. To credit it in the only way I can: Paul Walker's character is cool, and he actually seems like he must have been a nice guy in real life.
Aside from honoring
Walker, though, I have nothing good to say about it. The writing seems like an afterthought. The cameramen obviously tried, and failed, to be artsy. The half-hearted editing reveals big gaps in the special effects, and there is not a single real actor in the whole movie.
My first instinct is to go easy on it because the film is clearly not meant to be taken seriously. It has precious few reputable names in its credits, and seems to have been made more for fun than anything else. There is one thing I'm a bit disturbed by: Luc Besson is one of the writers of "Brick Mansions" Besson wrote and directed an excellent novelty in 1994 called "Léon: The Professional." It's not legendary, but it is a pretty famous movie, which is why I'm a bit shocked he'd be willing to stamp his name on "Brick Mansions". Oh well.
To sum it all up: Don't see this movie unless you're doing so to pay tribute to Paul Walker.

Diggers find Atari's E.T. games in landfill
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATARI
CAT
ALAMOGORDO, N.M. — A decades-old urban legend was put to rest Saturday when workers for a documentary film production company recovered "E.T." Atari game cartridges from a heap of garbage buried deep in the New Mexico desert.
Film director Zak Penn shows a box of a decades-old Atari "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" game found in a dumpsite in Alamogordo, N.M., Saturday. Producers of a documentary dug in a southeastern New Mexico landfill in search of millions of cartridges of the game that has been called the worst game in the history of video gaming and were buried there in 1983.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The "Atari grave" was, until that moment, a highly debated tale among gaming enthusiasts and other self-described geeks for 30 years. The story claimed that in its death throes, the video game company sent about a dozen truckloads of cartridges of what many call the worst video game ever to be forever hidden in a concrete-covered landfill in southeastern New Mexico.
The search for the cartridges of a game that contributed to the demise of Atari will be featured in an upcoming documentary about the biggest video game company of the early 80s.
As a backhoe scattered a huge scoop of 30-year-old trash and dirt over the sand, the film crew spotted boxes and booklets carrying the Atari logo. Soon after, a game cartridge turned up, then another and another.
Film director Zak Penn showed assembled gaming fans one cartridge retrieved from the site and said that hundreds more were in the surrounding mounds of garbage.
About 200 residents and game enthusiasts gathered early Saturday at the old landfill in Alamogordo to watch crews search for up to a million discarded copies of "E.T. The Extraterrestrial" that the game's maker wanted to hide forever.
"I feel pretty relieved and psyched that they actually got to see something," Penn said, as members of the production team sifted through the mounds of trash, pulling out boxes, games and other Atari products.
Most of the crowd left the landfill before the discovery, turned away by strong winds that kicked up massive clouds of dust mingled with garbage.
By the time the games were found, only a few dozen people remained. Some were playing the infamous game in a make-shift gaming den with a TV and an 1980s game console in the back of a van, while others took selfies beside a life-size E.T. doll inside a DeLorean car like the one that was turned into a time machine in the "Back To The Future" movies.
Among the watchers was Armando Ortega, a city official who as a teenager back in 1983 got a tip from a landfill employee about the massive dump of games.
"It was pitch dark here that night, but we came with our flashlights and found dozens of games," he said. They braved the darkness, coyotes and snakes of the desert landfill and had to sneak past the security guard. But it paid off as they found dozens of crushed but still playable cartridges.
The game's finding came as no surprise to James Heller, a former Atari manager who was invited by the production to the dig site. He says in 1983 the company tasked him with finding an inexpensive way to
dispose of 728,000 cartridges they had in a warehouse in El Paso. Texas. After a few local kids ran into trouble for scavenging and the media started calling him about it, he decided to pour a layer of concrete over the games.
"I never heard about again it until June 2013, when I read an article about E.T. being excavated," he remembers. He was not aware of the controversy and never spoke out "because nobody asked."
The documentary about the search is being developed by
companies including Xbox Entertainment Studios, and the film is expected to be released later this year on Microsoft's Xbox game consoles.
The city of Alamogordo agreed to give the documentarians up to 250 cartridges and plan to sell the rest that are unearthed.
Mayor Susie Galea hopes this brings more tourists to this southeastern New Mexico town that is home to an Air Force base and White Sands National Monument.
"Lots of people just pass
through, unfortunately," she said.
The "E.T." game is among the factors blamed for the decline of Atari and the collapse in the U.S. of a multi-million-dollar video game industry that didn't bounce back for several years.
+
With the whether-or-not E.T. was buried in Alamgordo controversy solved, the other, subtler debate remains. Was it the worst game ever unleashed on gamers?
Tina Amini, deputy editor at gaming website Kotaku, says
the game tanked because "it was practically broken" with that the E.T. falling into traps that were almost impossible to escape and would appear constantly and unpredictably.
The game designer, Howard Scott Warshaw, says he does not mind his creation being called that. "It may be a horrible game, but 32 years after, you are here, talking to me about it. It's a tremendous honor," that it still generates public discourse.

Dutch party at 'King's Day' for new monarch
AMSTERDAM — The Dutch donned orange-colored outfits and celebrated their first ever "King's Day" on Saturday — a national holiday held in honor of the Netherlands' newly installed monarch, King Willem Alexander.
The festival, which will last until the early hours of Sunday, features open-air markets and concerts around the country. With sunny weather forecast, more than 1 million people are expected to attend in Amsterdam alone.
King's Day replaces the traditional "Queens' Day" festival held this
time of year, and the name change is the main difference. Willem Alexander, who assigned the throne last year, is the first male monarch from the Netherlands' ruling House of Orange in living memory.
In a prerecorded message carried by national broadcaster NOS, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said "music and good times are everywhere: all the ingredients for a splendid day." Earlier Saturday, Willem Alexander and his wife Queen Maxima visited the scenic village of De
"Why change something that's a success?" the king said in a speech in Amstelveen, which borders Amsterdam on the south, after proclaiming his day "unforgettable."
Rijp, 36 kilometers (22 miles) north of Amsterdam, together with their three daughters, Ariane, Alexia and heir apparent Amalia.
In Amsterdam, boats crammed the canals and cars turned out in droves to sell bric-a-brac along sidewalks. In parks, kids set up do-it-yourself games like trying to jump and take a bite out of a cookie on a string — using no hands.
Police in the Sarphati park in the south of the city were seen ordering a hobbyist to stop flying a drone, apparently out of safety or privacy concerns.

London stage hit 'Privacy' makes drama from data
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — "Privacy," a new drama that has London buzzing, is probably the first play to open with a request that the audience keep their smartphones switched on. It's certainly the first to have theatergoers snapping selfies before the intermission.
By the end, they may be tempted to throw those phones out the window.
James Graham's exciting, interactive and alarming drama suggests that our smartphones and computers know us better than we know ourselves. The play asks whether privacy is dead in an era when millions share their innermost thoughts on social media, mobile phones act as electronic trackers and government snoops hoover up vast amounts of data on their citizens.
Graham insists the play is not arguing "that we should all dump our iPhones in the dustbin." Despite months of eye-opening research, he still has a smartphone and a Twitter account.
"We wanted to say, look, a lot of this stuff is amazing, but we have to keep constantly checking in and going, is the balance right?" he said. "The amount we share ... has changed radically in the past five years in a way I think it hasn't in the past 500 years."
The play, which opened this week at London's Donmar Warehouse, follows a fictional writer and a director — "better-looking, thinner, younger versions of us," quips the play's real director, Josie Rourke — as they explore the power of the Internet and the meaning of identity in an online age.
Graham - a 31-year-old
wunderkind whose last play, "This House," made backroom British politics in the 1970s unexpectedly thrilling — conducted 60 hours of interviews with dozens of researchers, politicians, civil liberties activists and spies.
A cast of six plays everyone from the former head of British spy agency GCHQ to the inventor of the supermarket loyalty card and Cambridge University academics who say they can infer everything from political views to sexual orientation from an individual's Facebook "likes."
Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden appears, too, as do the Guardian newspaper journalists who published his leaked documents revealing details of U.S. spies' ability to snoop on vast amounts of electronic communications.

WASHINGTON — Diners could soon see calorie counts on the menus of chain restaurants.
But will they be able to get that same clear information at grocery stores, convenience stores, movie theaters or airplanes?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The calories of each food item are pictured on a McDonald's drive-thru menu in New York.
The food industry is closely watching the Food and Drug Administration to see which establishments are included in the final menu labeling rules, which are expected this year.
The idea is that people may pass on that bacon double cheeseburger if they know that it has 1,000 calories. Or on the chili hot dog at the convenience store counter.
But nonrestaurant establishments have lobbied hard for exemption, and the rules have been delayed.
The FDA has sent the rules to the White House, meaning they could be released soon. The calorie labels may be required as soon as six months after the final rules are announced.
Here are a few places you may or may not see calorie labels once the rules kick in:
RESTAURANTS
The restaurant industry pushed for menu labeling and helped it become law as part of health overhaul in 2010. Chain restaurants that operate all over the country wanted the federal standards because of an evolving patchwork of state and local laws that require calorie labeling and could have forced those outlets to follow different rules in different locations.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg told Congress earlier this month that writing the rules has been "much more challenging than expected." The agency issued proposed rules in 2011 but has faced pressure to revise them to exclude retail outlets like grocery and convenience stores.
The rules will only apply to restaurants with 20 or more outlets, so independent eateries are exempt. Bakeries, coffee shops and ice cream parlor are all expected to be included if they have enough stores to qualify. But alcohol most likely won't have to be labeled in any of those places — FDA proposed exempting it.
SUPERMARKETS AND CONVENIENCE STORES
Not all restaurants are happy with menu labeling though. Pizza restaurants, led by delivery giant Domino's, say it doesn't make sense to force their franchisees to order expensive new menu boards when few people walk into their brick-and-mortar outlets. They argue for putting the information online. The pizza companies say there are more than 34 million ways to order a pizza, and they need more flexibility on labeling than other restaurants. Supporters of the rules say pizzas are no different from sandwiches or other foods that have a variety of toppings.
The supermarket and convenience store industries were perhaps the most unhappy
The restaurant industry has pushed for those outlets to be included, arguing that many of them are promoting their prepared food sales and directly competing with restaurants. Nutrition advocates have also called for those stores to be included, saying that a rotisserie chicken labeled with a calorie count at a restaurant should also be labeled at the grocery store takeout next door. Same with baked goods like muffins, pies or loaves of bread.
The supermarket industry estimates it could cost them a billion dollars to put the rules in place costs that would be passed on to consumers. Along with convenience stores, the supermarkets say the ever-changing selection at salad bars, deli counters and other prepared food stations would make it difficult and costly to nail down accurate calorie counts and constantly update signs.
with the rules that the FDA proposed in 2011. The agency proposed requiring those stores to label calories for prepared foods on menu boards and displays.
Both industries argue that the law is intended for restaurants and not for them. They say the labeling rules will be much easier to put in place at restaurants with fixed menus.
Footwork music star DJ Rashad dies in Chicago
CHICAGO — Rashad Harden, a house music and footwork pioneer who performed as DJ Rashad, was found dead this weekend of an apparent drug overdose, authorities said Sunday. He was 34.
but narcotics and drug paraphernalia were found near his body, she said. An autopsy was conducted Sunday but the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said it is waiting for the results of toxicology tests to determine a cause of death.
Harden's death comes just days before his EP was scheduled for release and less than a month after fellow house music star Frankie Knuckles also died the city.
Chicago Police spokeswoman Janel Sedevic said a friend found Harden's body Saturday afternoon in an apartment on the city's West Side. There was no sign of injury,
Harden, a resident of Calumet City, was poised for a breakout year, according to
the Chicago Sun-Times. His fifth album received his best reviews, he was scheduled to play clubs all over the world and his latest EP, "We On 1," was scheduled to be released Monday.
"It's just a tragic loss of a great musical genius," said longtime friend and collaborator Morris Harper, who performs as DJ Spinn and who was scheduled to appear with Rashad in Detroit on Saturday night.

Noh refuses to wilt, takes first PGA Tour triumph

ASSOCIATED PRESS
AVONDALE, La. — Seung-Yul Noh overcame windy conditions and his nerves, shooting a 1-under 71 on Sunday to win the Zurich Classic by two shots for his first PGA Tour victory.
While Noh, the leader through three rounds, never fell out of first, he did make his first three bogeys of the tournament and briefly fell into a tie with Keegan Bradley, the 2011 PGA Championship winner who had the gallery behind him.
But Bradley did himself in with a bogey on the fifth hole and a triple bogey on the sixth while Noh remained steady enough to hold off remaining challengers.
The 22-year-old South Korean player, the youngest winner this season, wore yellow and black ribbons on his hat to honor the more than 300 dead or missing in a ferry accident in waters off his home country.
After taking the third-round lead and becoming the first to play 54 holes at TPC Louisiana without a bogey, he said he hoped he could string together one more bogey-free round and come through with a victory to lift the spirits of his nation.
He accomplished the second part, and he'll take it. His best finish in 77 previous PGA Tour starts was a tie for fourth at the 2012 AT&T National.
The seventh first-time PGA Tour winner in the last 10 years in the event, Noh finished at 19-under 269 and earned $1,224,000.
Andrew Svoboda and Robert Streb tied for second. Svoboda had a 69 and Streb shot 70.
Jeff Overton, who briefly pulled within a stroke of Noh on the back nine, had a 70 to finish fourth at 16 under.
Bradley would up with a 75 to tie for eighth at 13 under.
On Saturday, Bradley worked his way into the final group, two stroked behind Noh, with a 65.
Overton bogeyed 11 when he hit his drive into a bunker left of the fairway and his second shot over the fairway and right of the cart path. He never got closer than two strokes again.
Robert Garrigus, who narrowly made the cut Friday, had the best score Sunday with a 64. The round included a 374-yard drive with a tail wind on 18, which he birdied to finish at 14 under.

McHugh strong in Astros 5-1 win against Athletics
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Collin McHugh allowed two hits over eight 2-3 stellar innings as the Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Sunday.
McHugh (2-0) followed up his first outing where he struck out 12 and allowed three hits in six 2-3 innings at Seattle on Tuesday with another dominant performance.
He struck out seven and walked three, allowing one run in the longest outing of his career. His previous longest outing had been seven innings on Aug. 23, 2012 against Colorado when he was a member of the New York Mets.
After the first, McHugh retired 23 of the next 24 batters, including 19 straight before Brandon Moss was hit by a pitch with two outs in the ninth. Moss stole second and came around to score on Alberto Callaspo's single — McHugh's first run allowed in 15 1-3 innings this season.
The right-hander, who Houston claimed off waivers from Colorado during the offseason, got out of trouble in the first after loading the bases with two outs with a walk to Callaspo by getting Josh Reddick to pop out to end the inning.
Raul Valdes got the final out to complete the two hitter.
Jed Lowrie, who singled in the first inning, drew a walk in the third for McHugh's lone base runner until the ninth.
Jose Altuve had two hits, including a two-run home run in the seventh, and Jonathan Villar also had two hits, including a two-run triple.
Dexter Fowler gave the Astros a 1-0 lead in the third with a groundout scoring Villar, who had doubled with one out and reached third on an Altuve single.

Clippers owner allegedly makes racist comments
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is the center of attention after allegedly making racist remarks about African Americans, more specifically, targeting former NBA player Magic Johnson.
the nine-minute conversation is supposedly between Sterling and his girlfriend. It was posted on TMZ's website and went viral overnight on Friday and into Saturday morning. Sterling said that he does not want African American fans at his games, nor does he want his girlfriend taking pictures on Instagram with African Americans.
Johnson was open to his feelings on the issue on Twitter.
"I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling the owner," Johnson said. "I feel sorry for my friends, coach Doc Rivers and

The Clippers' front office issued a statement to TMZ, trying to deflect the comments that have been attributed to Sterling. The Clippers said in the statement that the recording of the conversation is "not consistent" with Sterling's views, beliefs or feelings.
Clippers president Andy Roeser spoke out in a separate release and
said that he and the organization is unsure if the tape is legitimate "or has been altered."
Sterling wasn't in attendance on Sunday when the Clippers played Golden State. Instead, his wife was sitting front row — yes, Sterling has a wife and a girlfriend.

Thunder beat Grizzlies 92-89 in OT, tie up series
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Reggie Jackson came off the bench and outscored teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook by himself. The Oklahoma City Thunder needed every point from their top reserve to win yet another overtime game against Memphis.
Jackson scored a personal playoff-best 32 points, and the Thunder beat the Grizzlies 92-89 Saturday night, tying up
their first-round Western Conference series at two apiece.
The Thunder sure needed him to avoid going back home in a 3-1 hole after three straight
"Reggie played an outstanding basketball game," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He was able to attack and finish around the rim like he's done all year; and I knew he would bounce back ... He's done a great job of coming in and giving us that lift offensively when we needed it as a sixth man."
overtime games.
Jackson had only scored 15 points combined in this series, but the guard shook off his shooting woes by hitting 11 of 16. Durant and Russell Westbrook, who struggled through their worst scoring game of the series with a combined 11 of 45 and 15 points apiece.
He said a few made layups finally got him going. Jackson said Durant and Westbrook were allowing him to play.
"They told me to just keep going and be aggressive," Jackson said.
The Thunder blew a 14-point lead with Memphis, and the Grizzlies blew a third straight fourth-quarter lead themselves. Jackson tied up Memphis with five straight points in the final minute of regulation, and he hit all six free throws in overtime as the Thunder survived an extra period with seven lead changes.
"They're running plays for him with Durant and West-
brooks spaced out." Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "If you're going down, my hat's off to them, both guys did a great job, and Reggie Jackson did a great job just being in attack mode."
Durant's two free throws with 1.02 left in overtime put the Thunder ahead to stay.
"One of the things I was pleased about was the way Russ and KD took a backseat tonight and let Reggie take over," Thunder center Kend-
tick perkins said that say. lot about them also."
Game five is Tuesday night back in Oklahoma City.
Mike Conley missed a 26-footer just before the buzzer that could have forced a second extra period. Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka also blocked a Tony Allen shot with 2.7 seconds left in regulation to keep the Thunder alive for overtime.
The Thunder won for only the second time in seven playoff games in Memphis.

Blackhawks eliminate Blues with Game 6 win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
16
CHICAGO — Duncan Keith had a goal and three assists, and the Chicago Blackhawks used a four-goal third period to finish off the St. Louis Blues with a 5-1 victory in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday.
Chicago Blackhawks' Marcus Kruger (16) checks St. Louis Blues' Vladimir Sobotka (17) during the first period in Game 6 of a first-round NHL hockey playoff series in Chicago on Sunday.
Chicago won four in a row after a slow start in St. Louis. The defending Stanley Cup champions will play the winner of the Minnesota-Colorado series in the Western Conference semifinals. The Avalanche lead the Wild 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Minnesota on Monday night.
Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Andrew Shaw and Keith scored in the third period as the Blackhawks improved to 14-2 in home playoff games over the last two seasons. Corey Crawford made 35 saves, keeping Chicago in a tie game when St. Louis controlled the second period.
T. J. Oshie scored for the Blues, who outshot the Blackhawks 36-27. Ryan Miller finished with 22 saves.
St. Louis went 0 for 6 in 10 minutes of power-play time over the first two periods, wasting a chance to take the lead. The Blues went 2 for 29 with the man advantage for the series.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Blackhawks also struggled on the power play, but they scored when it mattered
most.
With Jay Bouwmeester in the box for tripping, Keith made a nice stop to keep the puck in the St. Louis zone, then fired a pass over to Toews. The captain beat Miller over his right shoulder for a 2-1 lead just 44 seconds into the third period.
It was Toews' third goal of the series. He also scored on a breakaway in overtime of Friday night's 3-2 win.
Toews' 23rd career postseason goal seemed to take the air out of the Blues, and it got even worse for St. Louis. Sharp got loose for a breakaway, shook off a stick to the face by defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk and slid a shot past Miller.
It was an eerily similar playoff exit for St. Louis to a year ago, when the Blues also were eliminated by the defending Stanley Cup champions in six games in the first round. In that 2013 playoff series, St. Louis won the first two games at home against Los Angeles, then lost four in a row.
Sharp's first point of the playoffs sent a charge through the towel-waving sellout crowd of 22,144, and there were mocking chants of "Mil-ler! Mil-ler!" as Shaw added his second goal of the series and helped set up Keith for his second.
St. Louis rebounded for two 4-3 overtime victories, but the Blackhawks found their stride when the series shifted to Chicago. Crawford had a shutout in Game 3, Patrick Kane scored in overtime in Game 4, and Toews' breakaway score in
regular season, putting them in a first-round series against rival Chicago.
This year was supposed to be different, especially after the Blues acquired Miller from Buffalo on March 1. But they lost their last six games of the
St. Louis put the Blackhawks in position to advance.
Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook returned from a three-game suspension. Seabrook was punished by the NHL for his wipeout hit on Blues captain David Backes in Game 2.
Backes exacted a measure of revenge when he delivered a
hard hit on Seabrook into the end boards in the second period. But Seabrook added two more assists and had six points for the series.
Bryan Bickell redirected Seabrook's high slap shot past Miller for a 1-0 lead 4:12 into the game. Alexander Steen skated behind the net before finding Oshie in front for the
tying score.
The Blues outshot the Blackhawks 17-3 in the second, but couldn't beat Crawford. St. Louis had one shot trickle across the goalmouth, keeping it tied at 1.
NBA
Wizards beat Bulls 98-89, take 3-1 series
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Even with the team's "X-factor" suspended, the Washington Wizards had a No. 42 sitting next to the bench. The 57-year-old with graying hair couldn't box out or grab a rebound, but owner Ted Leonsis waved his red towel and egged on a cheering crowd that chanted "Free Nene!"
The Wizards did just fine without the suspended Brazilian forward. They scored the first 14 points and beat the Chicago Bulls 98-89 on Sunday to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference series.
"I thought it was pretty hilarious that Ted had Nene's jersey on," Wizards guard Bradley Beal said. "It kind of threw me off for a minute, but then I looked and seen it was Ted."
Nene or not, the Wizards did what they've done all series: Take a quick lead and force the Bulls to use up energy trying to catch up. It was 15-8 in Game 3, 29-12 in Game 2, 19-13 in Game 1. Washington, seeking to win a playoff series for only the third time since the 1970s, can finish off the Bulls on the road in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
"We keep seeing this same kind of start for the last couple of games, and it's frustrating." said Taj Gibson, who came off the bench to lead the Bulls with a career-high 32 points. "It seems like at times we get overhyped with just thinking we're going to be OK, we're just that good. But in this league it's not about how talented you are, it's about how hard you work and how much effort you put when you start the game off, and I don't think we did that."
Nene was suspended for the game after grabbing Jimmy Butler's head in the fourth quarter of the Wizards' Game 3 loss. Wall called Nene the "X-factor" this week, and for good reason: Since the March 2012 trade that brought Nene to D.C., Washington is 65-63 when he plays and 21-41 when he doesn't.
That said, the club did hold its own by winning 12 of 21 when Nene went down with a knee injury late in the regular.
season, an absence coach Randy Wittman said might have been a "blessing in disguise" that helped prepare them for Sunday.
"I saw our guys bond together," Wittman said. "Like, 'That's OK, all right. Big fellow's not going to be here, but that's OK.' And we were in tune right from the start."
Trevor Ariza scored a career playoff-high 30 points, makingsix of 10 3-pointers. Beal had 18 points, and John Wall added 15 points and 10 assists for the Wizards, who forced 16 turnovers and committed only six.
"I think we're a smart enough group to understand that when one of your pieces goes down, you have to find ways and will to win," Ariza said. "Tonight was my night to take on the scoring load."
Gibson went 13 for 16 from the field for Chicago, but his teammates combined to go 22 for 62. He made more field goals in the first half (8) than the rest of the Bulls combined (7). Mike Dunleavy, who scored 35 points in Game 3, scored only six.
Chicago's Kirk Hinrich committed four turnovers, and NBA Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah had a quiet 10 points and 15 rebounds against the Nene-less front-court.
Dunleavy jammed his left thumb attempting to take a charge in the fourth quarter. The thumb was swollen and was X-rayed after the game, but he said he didn't think it was broken.
Washington stormed to a 14-0 lead, with Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau calling a timeout after each Wizards "touchdown."
"It probably doesn't really matter," he said. "It's my left hand and it's not going to make a difference for me."
"Very disappointing to get in a hole like that," Thibodeau said. "I put that on me, and I've got to get it right. ... It's got to change or our season will be over."
Trevor Booker started in Nene's spot and had nine rebounds and three blocks.

COMMENTARY Union unnecessary to change system
By Blake Schuster sports@kansan.com
its a change the schools don't want and a change that will be met with some blowback, but its a change that's become inevitable.
A few weeks removed from the landmark decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that scholarship football players at Northwestern University (NU) are employees, the ruling will go through the appellate process we all knew was coming.
But this is more about having a strong enough voice to call for and institute - a change in college athletics.
Don't be mistaken, the NCAA and it's conferences will still retain the vast majority of the authority in the player-establishment relationship, but there'll be some more visible checks and balances.
And even though the Wildcats players voted via secret ballot on whether or not to form a union last Friday, the votes will be withheld until the NLRB members in Washington decide regardless of what the majority of the players think.
So, all we can do is wait.
Somewhere along the way, the NCAA realized that for how much attention their student athletes garner, the players would eventually use their grand stage to shout about the injustices of their world.
Two weeks later the NCAA announces unlimited snacks and meals for its athletes.
Ask and you shall receive. We didn't have to wait long for that, mostly because the NCAA couldn't afford to wait.
Then moments later he said how his school, under NCAA rules, wasn't able to properly feed the team that we now only need to refer to as National Champions.
Oh right, that was three weeks ago, when after carrying his team to the national championship and being named the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player, University of Connecticut (UConn)'s Shabazz Napier went after the NCAA twice in a matter of minutes.
It's right to question whether or not the student athletes will ever truly have a so-called seat at the table with the NCAA, but they can make themselves just as visible by speaking up on their own. With how much media attention there is on the top programs, athletes are more than likely to incite louder voices to join them just by speaking honestly and openly about the system. Just ask Napier.
The more people who keep pushing for change, the less time we'll have to wait to see it happen.
What happens at the NLRB appeal in Washington may very well pale in comparison to what the court of public opinion believes.
"That's the tough thing about it." Napier told reporters then. "They call us student athletes then they take us away from our school."
Edited by Amber Kasselman
Napier criticized the NCAA's postseason ban on the Huskies after a poor Academic Progress Rate score kept UConn away from March Madness in 2013.

Jayhawks end their losing streak
Junior infielder Justin Protocacio hits the ball for a run against Missouri State on April 23. The Kansas baseball team won all three games in its series against Baylor this weekend.

the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. Their fourth consecutive loss came at the hands of a bullpen meltdown against Missouri State in a midweek matchup at Hoglund Ballpark.
Previous Jayhawk closer, senior Jordan Piché was moved into the Friday night starting role after junior Wes Benjamin had season-ending Tommy John surgery. In just his fourth start in his Kansas career, Piché pitched his first complete game, allowing a single hit and shutting out the Bears in a 1-0 victory in game one.

For the first time in a couple weeks, the Jayhawks (26-20) have plenty to rejoice about after sweeping conference foe, Baylor University (19-25), in a three game series down in Waco, Texas. This past weekend's sweep over the Bears marks the first time the Jayhawks achieved such a feat, and came at the most vital point of their season.
Coming into this weekend's matchup against the Bears, the Jayhawks were riding a four game losing streak after being on the receiving end of a sweep in Stillwater against
walked a pair and recorded five punch-outs in his fifth victory of the season to push his record to 5-5.
After the pitcher's duel Friday night, the bats came alive in Saturday afternoon. In just the second inning, the Jayhawks scored six runs off seven hits, en route to their 10-2 victory Saturday afternoon.
With the convincing win, not only did Kansas secure its second conference victory of the season, but locked in coach Ritch Price's 1.000th career win in his valiant career, which consists of 35 years and four different levels.
On Sunday, Price and his Jayhawks got their brooms out
to complete the season-defining sweep. Senior Tucker Tharp took matters into his own hands, driving in a career-high five runs batted in, aiding to an 8-5 Kansas victory. The senior understood after being swept in Stillwater how important it was to pick up those three games in Waco.
"After last weekend everyone was pretty down," Tharp said. "It's tough to come back after getting swept, especially when you're right in the middle of the pack in the Big 12."
As if this weekend couldn't get any better for Price, Sunday's victory marked his 600th career victory at the division level after he tallied
his 1,000th in all levels on Saturday.
With the series sweep, the Jayhawks now move to .500 in conference play at 9- 9 while the Bears fall to the bottom tier in the Big 12 at 5-12 in conference play.
The Jayhawks will look to extend their win streak to four when they face in-state rival Wichita State on the road Tuesday. The Jayhawks took the first meeting at Hoglund Ballpark 4-2 back on April 1.

Baylor sweeps Kansas in Texas over weekend
The Baylor Bears swept the Kansas softball team at Waco, Texas, this weekend. No. 14 Baylor put 19 runs up on the Jayhawks, only allowing Kansas one run.

Baylor's pitcher Whitney Canion is hard to go up against, considering she is the leading pitcher with strike-outs in conference play. Canion also has the lowest ERA in the conference. She boasts a 1.23. The second leading pitcher, University of Oklahoma's Kelsey Stevens, holds a 1.63.

Up next for the Jayhawks is a series against the Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas. First pitch is scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m.
"You have to give a lot of credit to Baylor and its senior class," coach Megan Smith said. "I admire what they've done and accomplished."
"We're facing an All-American and national team pitcher, who is phenomenal and has been for several years," Smith said. "I thought that we had some good at-bats against her"

GOVERNMENT Proposed social media policy contains substantial changes
The Kansas Board of Regents' Governance Committee released a substantially revised draft Monday of the social media policy passed in December. The revised policy draft includes additional context surrounding academic freedom, constitutional rights and speech protected by other existing laws. It also makes clear that the definitions of social media and improper use are clear for the purposes of the policy.
"There was a big effort to underscore that freedom of speech and academic freedom are not being overturned by this policy," said Breeze Richardson, associate director of communications and government relations for the Kansas Board of Regents.
The workgroup was created by the Board to come up with recommendations to the original policy, which was highly controversial. Their policy was submitted to the Board before the April 16 meeting to discuss.
According to Richardson, the Board believes that this policy clears up some assumptions they had made about the context of the situation and states that it does not override any constitutional, or other, rights, as well as any university grievance review policies.
— McKenna Harford
"One of the largest concerns of the original policy was interpretations made by the staff and faculty ... over what would be considered improper use," Richardson said. "The Board has gone to great lengths to ensure that is clear [in the new policy]."
The Board of Regents will then make the final decision on the policy in the May 15 and 16 meeting.
the Committee's recommended policy has been published on the Regent's webpage, where comments and suggestions can be made. These will be taken into account at the May 6 meeting, where the Committee will review the final policy and recommend it to the Board. Richardson doesn't believe that any major changes will be made to this policy before it is recommended to the Board.

This deadline will ensure the next Senate treasurer won't have $11,000 in unpaid bills — a number Treasurer
Drew Harger said he had to pay during his first months in office last summer.
"We hope to have a clean turnover," Harger said. "I think we'll leave the office in good order so the new treasurers can have a good start to their year."
This year, the Senate funded 172 student organizations with $50,000, a large difference from the $138,000 used to fund 174 organizations last year.
After every school year, Harger said money allocated for the activity fee is left unspent. He said the unused amount is then added into the Student Senate Reserve Account and a portion of that is given to student groups in the next year.

Able Hawks and Allies to host Accessi-Ball

Able Hawks and Allies hosts its first dance on May 9, and members of the organization are hoping to create the kind of fun social event most college students want but students with disabilities don't always have access to.
LOVE THAT'S NOW!
"All the normal college things that people do, people with disabilities can do those things too," said Cynthia Marta, president of Able Hawks and Allies. "They can date, they can have sex, they can go to concerts, go to bars, they can dance, they can drink; (they) make all those decisions that every other college student does."
The Accessi-Ball will be held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Hancock Room of the Oread Hotel, and will include a cash bar, door prizes and a DJ to take song requests. Marta said the group is hoping about 100 students attend. The event is open to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at all ability levels.

Able Hawks and Allies was founded in 2004 with a mission to raise awareness of accessibility needs and institute progressive change for individuals affiliated with
the University. The group has about 25 recognized members; many other students participate in events from time to time.
The idea for the Ball came out of a discussion between Marta and Thomas Dirth, a club member, after they attended an event in which dancers with disabilities used Adaptive Use Musical Instrument software, which creates musical sounds based on movements of the body. Marta said she wanted to create additional opportunities for people with disabilities to dance after she saw how much the performers enjoyed themselves.
cerebral palsy shortly after birth, and usually uses a cane or wheelchair to help him get around. It was important to choose a location for the event, such as the Oread, that was not only easy to enter and exit, but also comfortable to be in with a physical assistive device.
"I would never use my wheelchair when going out because it was always crowded and difficult to navigate in those crowded places," Dirth said.
"People who use chairs or canes or other physical assistive aids were just like, 'man it was good to dance, and it was good to see people with other similar conditions dancing.' Marta said.
Dirth, a Ph.D. student in social psychology from West Point, Iowa, helped organize the Accessi-Ball. He developed
"They were like, 'I would love to do it again, but I have no idea when I would do it again because there aren't really a lot of opportunities for that to happen to someone who uses physical assistive devices."
Members of the 2012 Able Hawks and Allies.
Activities that other college students consider normal can be a challenge for someone with a disability. A loud environment and unusual or moving lighting can be over stimulating for an individual with a sensory integration impairment, and unfamiliar social interactions could cause much anxiety for an individual with a developmental or social disability.
For a college student who struggles with a social disability, it may be difficult to pick up on social cues that students without such a disability may take for granted. This can be particularly challenging in a social environment where topics like relationships and sex are discussed, because
such topics involve a lot of innuendo and non-verbal cues that can be difficult to interpret, Marta said. She hopes the Accessi-ball will create an opportunity for students who have questions about social interaction, drinking or relationships to feel safe asking them without fear of ridicule.
Isaak Daniels, a Ph.D. student in chemistry from Des Moines, Iowa, said his Asperger syndrome makes it hard for him to meet new people and maintain a fluid conversation. He said he knows that students without
"It wouldn't be functional to have two separate societies," Daniels said. "The goal is to recognize all of our personhood, because someone who is disabled might want to have fun with someone who is not disabled, if they have a friend or significant other."
disabilities can be shy too. That's why he thinks the social nature of the Accessi-Ball offers a good opportunity to socialize in a non-threatening environment.

Tornadoes cause damage, injuries in Miss.

Residents survey damage along a street in Tupelo, Miss., Monday. Tornados flattened homes and businesses, flipped trucks over on highways and injured numerous people in Mississippi and Alabama as a massive, dangerous storm system passed over several states in the South on Monday.
TUPELO, Miss. — At least three tornados flattened homes and businesses, flipped trucks over on highways and injured an unknown number of people in Mississippi and Alabama on Monday as a massive, dangerous storm system passed over several states in the South, also threatening to unleash severe thunderstorms, damaging hail and flash floods.
People in the path of the huge system were on edge as the National Weather Service posted tornado watches and warnings around Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Forecasters said the system is the latest onslaught of severe weather that triggered deadly tornadoes in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Iowa on Sunday, killing at least 18 people.
The storm was so huge it was visible from space, photographed by weather satellites that showed tumultuous clouds arcing across much of the South.
Injuries were reported in Tupelo, a community of about 35,000 in northeastern Mississippi; and in Louisville, the seat of Winston County about 90 miles northeast of Jackson, Miss., where about 6,600 people live, said Mississippi Health Department spokesman Jim Craig. He said the number and seriousness of the injuries were not known because relief efforts were still underway. Television footage showed trucks being flipped over on state roads.
Bruce Ridgeway, vice president of North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo said that hospital received six people with non-life threatening injuries. Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton said damage was extensive in neighborhoods in the city. Authorities sent teams to the region even before the storm
A strong storm barreling through southeastern Kentucky damaged homes and businesses and left more than 6,000 customers without power, said Harlan County Emergency Management Director David McGill. No injuries were reported.

In Memphis, Tenn., officials declared a state of emergency in a county southwest of Nashville because of flash flooding. Authorities urged people there to seek higher ground after several homes and some business were flooded in Maury County and school leaders worried that some school buses might not be able to get schoolchildren home over swamped roads.
Later, the station tweeted, "We are safe here."
"If it's unsafe, certainly the drivers are not going to chance it," said Maury County emergency official Mark Blackwood.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant declared a state of emergency Monday in advance of the storms, which sent emergency officials rushing to put plans in place.

"There's a lot of sensitivity up here," Grabryan said. "I've got a stack of messages here from people, many of them new to the area, wanting to know where the closest shelters are."

The bulbs are planted in November.
After blooming, each flower lasts around three weeks.
- This year, the University spent about $5,000 on tulips.
At the end of spring, the tulips are removed to make room for annuals such as Begonias and vincas.
They require little upkeep besides regular weeding.

STATE Kansas woman sentenced in prescription drug case
TOPEKA, Kan. — A Manhattan woman has been placed on two years' probation for her role in a conspiracy to distribute prescription drugs at a northeast Kansas pain clinic.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 30-year-old Sarah Harding-Huffine was sentenced Monday. She pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to unlawfully distribute prescription drugs from the Manhattan clinic of Dr. Michael Schuster.
Harding-Huffine admitted to illegally writing prescriptions for Oxycodone and other controlled substances on blank forms that Schuster signed and left for his staff when he traveled outside the country. Harding-Huffine was not a licensed health care provider and did not have a federal drug registration number.
Schuster pleaded guilty earlier this year to unlawfully distributing controlled substances. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison.

Pollution reactions reveal cultural differences
During a mandatory rest period in a Chinese class filled
with foreigners in Nanjing, China, a British student took out his smart phone and proudly narrated to his fellow classmates a story from the BBC News application. The story was about a car ban recently implemented in Paris due to high levels of air pollution. He skimmed over the details: the ban only allows cars with license plates ending in odd or even numbers to drive on certain days and it waves bus fares to reduce the daily exhaust output. He enthusiastically emphasized the French environmental agencies claim that Parisian air pollution rivaled that of
Beijing.
Finally, he reached the end of the article and looked up to his fellow classmates. "So, how bad do you guys think the air pollution really was?" Blank stares. A smile crept across his face: "180 micogrammes of PM10 particulates per cubic meter — no mention of PM2.5." A small laugh ensued and some of the classmates tiredly chimed in how they would spend a day in Nanjing with such comparatively low pollution: "I'd go for a run;" "We could have a picnic." With more enthusiasm: "Frisbee!"
On the worst days of pollution in Nanjing most people wear facemasks to filter out the blend of particulates

in the air including PM10 and the invisible and more dangerous PM2.5. These pollutants make little cuts in people's lungs when inhaled, potentially leading to terrible cancers 20 or 30 years from now. But on days when the pollution is relatively good — roughly two to three times worse than what led to traffic bans in Paris — we don't wear facemasks. Our rooms aren't ventilated and the poor air quality is simply a fact of life. Over the winter I moved from a state of denial to acceptance: There is not that much I figured I could realistically do.
So one day in early March
when my friends saw me wearing my facemask they were all worried that they had missed some doomsday weather report. They said, "Is the pollution really that bad today?" or, "Should I get my mask?" While the Air Quality Index for PM10 was well over 180 microgrammes per cubic meter (not to mention PM2.5), that was not why I had my mask on. I had terrible allergies. My body accidentally labeled these perfectly natural and benign particulates of pollen as dangerous, and fought them with vigor. In the form of pills and nasal sprays and a facemask, I too fought back.
Upon further reflection, the situation seemed eerily
evocative of our modern world's seemingly dominant ideology: Don't inconvenience yourself by guarding against some truly horrible situation lying safely in the distant future, but combat any inconvenience no matter how small or petty in the present as if your life depends on it.
I suppose that I am excited to return Kansas over the summer and breathe in the fresh air. In the meantime, I will try wear my facemask more.

Green Revolving Funds have been underutilized
O over the years people have been pushing for a greener
environment, stressing ways to conserve energy and prevent the emission of greenhouse gasses. Many universities have taken part in initiatives for greener campuses, including the University of Kansas. People can talk about how much they want to make the area around us a greener place, but actions are how sustainability happens. How much effort is really being put into sustainability at the University, and are the ways we go about it the most effective?
By Cecilia Cho opinion@kansan.com
effective. Green Revolving Funds (GRFs) are a highly popular and common idea among institutions, and they have been taking universities by storm. GRFs "invest in energy efficiencies projects to reduce energy consumption and reinvest the money saved in future projects," according to greenbillion.org. In simpler terms, money is invested for energy efficient projects, such as solar panels or lighting fixtures, and the money saved goes back into it, essentially growing itself. The University re-uses recycling materials, has installed low pressurized water fixtures and "high-efficiency lighting throughout campus" and minimizes the usage of gasoline run equipment, according to the KU Center for Sustainability. However, not much light has been shed on one of the most cost-beneficial and most effective energy preservation programs here: the Revolving Green Loan Fund (RGLF). Why is it that the University hasn't talked about the RGLF?
The RGLF here started in 2010 and received startup funds of $40,000 from Student Senate,Student
Success and the Office of the Provost. The projects the RGLF has taken up include building control updates in Lindley Hall, replacement of lighting fixtures in the Ambler Student Recreation Center and replacing Lot 54 with LED lighting in street lamps. These small changes can start off with what looks like an intimidating start-up cost, however, the payback towards the RGLF is almost immediate. Start up costs for the rec were $34,000, but the center gained an estimated annual energy savings of $8,432. Building control updates in Lindley cost a little over $27,000, but totaled $12,500 annually in energy savings.
The RGLF capital started off at $40,000 and remains at that same $40,000 today, resulting in no increase in funds whatsoever. This is because the energy savings do not get cycled back into the fund, like most GRFs, meaning its only growth comes from loan interest. The payback for the loan for the rec and Lindley were almost immediate due to the amount of money saved from switching over to more efficient energy plans, resulting in no growth. So, why is it the University hasn't taken more initiative on RGFs when it's obvious how much they're saving, and how quickly the pay return is?
Universities across the nation have been doing well with their implementation of GRF programs and it's about time the University starts making the RGLF a higher
priority. The University of Colorado Boulder, University of Vermont and Arizona State University are just a few schools that have successfully integrated the program and gained a substantial amount of savings. Colorado's Energy and Climate Revolving Fund (ECRF) has an estimated $521,000 in funds, averaging a 37.8 percent return on investments. In 2010, Arizona State established the Sustainability Initiatives Revolving Fund (SIRF), and in 2013 it gained a $1.9 million investment and projected its annual benefits at $382,326. According to the SIRF 2013 Annual Report, projected utility savings of "over $1 million is expected due to reinvestments in future SIRF funded projects."
No action has been taken by the University to shed light on our GRF program, yet it still exists. When people don't know about the GRF and the good it can do for our environment, the GRF at here stays at the same place that it started — not losing, but not gaining either. What was the point of starting a project that we aren't going to finish? The idea of the GRF isn't new — it is part of the norm in universities across the country — and while those schools are becoming greener, ours is falling behind. Schools will find more ways for sustainability in the future, but will Kansas still be playing catch up when that happens?

Food for thought on what you eat
College can do horrible things to a person. First I became a liberal, then an environmentalist and now a vegetarianian. Ironically, this new vegetarian phase was fostered by my flamingly liberal interest in food and where it comes from. I have always seen PETA fliers with hundreds of chickens jammed into a windowless metal pillbox, but by the time dinner rolls around my anger over animal cruelty is always gone. I would console my conscious by making justifications like my meat isn't necessarily from one of those factory farms.
After doing some research I learned that the majority of our meat comes from facilities known as confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). All of us at one point or another have eaten an animal pumped full of antibiotics and hormones that only saw the light of day when it was transported for slaughter. It is important to understand CAFOs not only because of animal cruelty, but also because of their environmental and human health impacts. This is not an article that will convince you to become a vegetarian, rather it is an article advocating for food awareness, because after all, we are what we eat.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a CAFO is an animal feeding operation required to meet certain air and waste pollution regulatory standards. In layman's terms, this means that a CAFO is a small area of land with a large quantity of stationary animals whose feed is brought to them. CAFOs are characterized by their integration of animals, feed, manure and urine, dead animals, and operations all in one space.
By Gabrielle Murman
opinion@kansan.com
CAFOs pose extreme environmental and health concerns for surrounding
communities. Large amounts of manure from factory farms can infiltrate waterways through run-off and storage facility leaks. The chemicals in manure effectively choke water of oxygen, killing fish in rivers, lakes, and ponds. Manure can also increase the growth of potentially toxic algal blooms in waterways.
These environmental impacts have direct effects on human health. Drinking water can be contaminated from animal waste and pathogens, leading to disease Additionally, the air around CAFOs is known for its potency and, even more importantly, for its ability to cause respiratory illnesses in workers and nearby community members.
So why does this matter to you? If violations of animal rights, environmental degradation, and stresses on human health are not enough to grab your attention then perhaps this will: Kansas is home to 446 CAFOs, some of which are located in Douglas County, and our region houses 4,196 factory farms with varying levels of EPA regulation compliance. In short, you are the effected community. Concern about our food system isn't reserved for liberals. Regardless of belief, we all eat and we all have a responsibility to understand how our food comes to be at our tables.

Reasons to see Jay-Z, Beyoncé 'On the Run'
By Christine Stanwood
entertain@kansan.com
Monday morning, it took me all of three seconds after scrolling through social media on my phone to figure out that Jay-Z and Beyonce announced their 16-city summer tour. The rumors that I hoped and prayed to the Hip-Hop Gods two weeks ago, came true. The "On The Run Tour" stems from Jay-Z's song "Part II (On The Run)," which features Beyonce singing verses like, "I don't care if we on the run/ As long as I'm next to you." So, it's only appropriate that the tour is based on the song. Here are the top three reasons why you need to invest in this concert.
1. If it's anything like this year's
Sure we've seen Beyonce and Jay-Z in multiple music videos together; my personal favorite "Crazy In Love" depicts the early stages of their success and romance. But their on-stage chemistry is unprecedented. As if "Drunk In Love" wasn't already an addictive beat, seeing the two performers engaged and enthralled with one another was captivating.
4. independently, they're pho-
Here you have two independently successful music and business moguls who are focused on the product they are giving to their fans. Jay-Z released his 12th studio album,
A selective history of the growth of teen culture
"Teenage" is a documentary about those years between the onset of adolescence and adulthood. But throw away any preconceptions involving talking heads, child psychologists, and he-said /she-said points of view.
Director Matt Wolf takes a dreamier, more impressionistic approach to the form, combining fascinating archival footage with contemporary recreations that merely look faded and old overlaid with voiceovers by actors reading the words of young people from earlier eras. Based loosely on Jon Savage's book "Teenage: The Prehistory of Youth Book 1875-1945," it chronicles the growth of a singular youth sensibility from the late 1800s — when most went from play to hard work in less time than you can say "child labor" — to the post-WWII era where a growing leisure economy meant more people could luxuriate in those years between grade-school recreation and adult responsibility.
As history, "Teenage" is flawed. Much gets left out. The main focus is on white American, British and German youth, with a cursory nod to young blacks' contributions to jazz and swing dancing as well as the discrimination young black men faced at home after serving in the World Wars. Not only that, but Wolf is so adept at knitting together his recreations with the real thing that it becomes hard to tell one from the other.

"Magna Carta, Holy Grail" back in July of 2013, and Beyonce surprisingly dropped her self-titled album, "Beyonce" in December of 2013. It's not a surprise that the two are going on tour together after the small appearances they made on each others most recent albums. Put the couple on the same tour and the confidence will burst from the seams.
3. You'll get to relive some of the din's greatest hits
"Bonnie & Clyde" was one of the couple's original songs together along with other hits like, "Upgrade U" and "Déjà Vu." It would be incredible to see their relationship through a time-lapse on stage. And come on, since they're a private couple, don't we all want to get a glimpse of their dynamic with
"Drunk In Love" again?
Final word.
It's roughly an eight-hour drive from Kansas City to Dallas or Chicago. It could be a bit pricy, but this is a concert that isn't promised in the future. Not only will you see Grammy winners who have perfected their craft, you will be given an experience based on pure talent, unlike any other.

Webb struggles for consistency in 'Amazing 2'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
If there's a tie that binds most of the characters of the Marvel Universe together, it's the mutability of the supposedly immutable human body. Characters are poisoned by radiation, zapped by electricity, bitten by spiders or broken, crushed, ruined or whatever.
And as Spider-Man cracks in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," just "shake it off. It's just your bones, muscles..."
But the real world doesn't work like that. That's one reason this comic book world has such a lasting appeal. Bullies are foiled, criminals are caught and great wrongs righted with supernatural intervention by
supernaturally augmented humans.
"Amazing 2" is kind of about that. It's a violent film, with blood and death in between the digitally-animated brawls. Human bodies are tortured and broken, and there's not always a web slinger there to stop that flipping police car, that hurtling bus, that Russian psychopath or that jet that's about to crash.
It's not an altogether pleasant experience. Things tend to drag as director Marc Webb has problems with focus, keeping the many story threads straight and continuity (watch Gwen Stacy's outfits). Many otherwise faceless extras pop off the screen as if he's about to
give their nameless characters the same significance as Stan Lee himself — who always has cameos in these Marvels.
But Andrew Garfield finds his voice as the character, making his second try at Peter Parker a caffeinated wise-cracker, enjoying his notoriety, talking to himself just like the guy in the comic book. He's funny.
Clueless Aunt May (Sally Field) wonders why he has soot all over his face.
"I was ... cleaning the chimney!"
"We HAVE no chimney!"
We HAVE no chimney!
Peter hums Spider-Man's theme song and hurls himself into situations with a teen's recklessness. He almost misses his and Gwen's (Emma Stone)
high school graduation, dealing with a villain named Aleksei (Paul Giamatti).
But even though he doesn't carry the angst of Tobey Maguire's Spidey, Peter has problems. He sees Gwen's late dad (Denis Leary) everywhere he looks, and remembers his promise to the dead cop to distance himself from his daughter, due to the danger.
Peter hasn't seen the opening scene in the movie, in which we flash back to Peter's parents' (Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz) grisly deaths. And Peter has no idea that his great chemistry with long lost rich kid pal Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) will go nowhere, because some of us remember
Except for Giamatti's Russian. He's just ... bad.
2002's "Spider-Man" and how Harry turns out.
Jamie Foxx is an ignored, humiliated electrical engineer who has an accident involving electric eels and power lines that transforms him from a Spider-Man fanboy into a glowing blue guy in a hoodie. In the ethos of this movie, Peter / Spidey reasons with the tormented villains, trying to connect with the doomed rich kid (Osborn) or this "nobody" engineer.
"You're not a nobody, you're SOMEbody!"
Returning director Webb relies, again, on the 3-D (and IMAX, in some theaters) flying effects to cover the rough patches — and there are many in "Amazing 2." While Garfield and Stone have a nice sass to their scenes, Webb can do nothing to give this relationship the longing and heat of the Kirsten Dunst / Tobey Maguire moments from the earlier films.
And Webb's team of screen-writers don't find any pathos in all this computer-animated flying and fighting, not until the finale.
so while this "Spider-Man" is, if anything, more competent than the first film, it's still not one that demands that you stick around after the credits. There's nothing there.

THE MORNING BREW
Saints making amends for past mistakes
W when thinking about the New Orleans Saints, other than thinking about
or than thinking use Drew Brees, negative things can come to mind. In one instance in particular, several defensive players for the organization were paid out "non-contract bonuses" or "bounties" for their ingame performances during the 2009 through 2011 seasons. In 2012, the NFL stated that then-Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams organized "Bountygate." The strictest of actions were taken out against the New Orleans Saints organization, having its coaches suspended from six weeks to indefinite spans, depending on their determined knowledge of the scandal.
Since the "Bountygate" scandal, the Saints have attempted to better their tarnished reputation. One recent donation from owner Tom Benson could help change the public's view of the Saints.
By Amie Just
sports@kansan.com
The charity benefiting from Tom
"After I was diagnosed with ALS, the continued support Michel [his wife] and I have received from the Saints and the Bensons has been humbling and a tremendous comfort to us both," Gleason said.
Benson's generous donation of $5 million is Team Gleason. Team Gleason was founded shortly after former New Orleans Saint Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS in 2011.
According to its Facebook page, Team Gleason is a philanthropic organization that helps "create an environment for families living with ALS that will
enable them to not only survive, but also thrive."
The money will be used to operate Team Gleason's House for Innovative Living. The House for Innovative Living is in New Orleans' St. Margaret Hospital. It's designed to give up to 18 people fighting ALS as much freedom and independence as possible with the help of state of the art technology.
THE BREW
The first residents of the home should arrive early this summer, associate executive director of Team Gleason, Clare Durrett said.
"With the creation of the Team Gleason House, we announced to the world that, with the right care and the right technology, ALS patients can be productive and purposeful for decades," Gleason said. "Through this generous gift, we are assured of the sustainability of that mission."
Benson released a written statement following his and his wife's donation.
"Gayle and I couldn't be more proud of the work that Steve and Team Gleason are doing for people living with ALS. Steve inspires us all with his message of facing and
overcoming adversity," he said. "And, we wanted to be part of growing this community of productive individuals committed to living as independently as possible."
Gleason hopes to have buildings like the Team Gleason House for Innovative Living in every NFL city, he told Peter King. Sports Illustrated writer.

PICHÉ FROM PAGE 8
("Piché) was first team all-big 12 as a closer last year, and (got) off to a tough start this season in that same role." Price said.
recognitions were received last season when Piché was one of the premier closers in college baseball, tallying 12 saves with a 1.68 ERA.
Piché struggled in the closer role this season by blowing five save opportunities, including four in a row. With junior Wes Benjamin suffering a season ending injury in conference season, Pich'e took his role as the Friday night starter and has been there for the past month.
"When Wes Benjamin went down I gave him the opportunity as a senior to pitch in the rotation which is what he did in junior college," Price said.
The shift to the starting role wasn't as drastic as it seemed for Piché. He had starting experience on the mound for Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa, where he played two years before transferring to Kansas. In his sophomore season, he started 14 games and posted a 9-4 record with a 2.66 ERA, striking out 85 batters in 88 innings.
Monday's announcement is the first time in over two months that a Kansas player has received conference honors. Fellow senior right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan achieved similar honors on Feb. 24, and transfer junior third baseman Aaron Hernandez received the first conference recognition on Feb. 17, as Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

LPGA
Lydia Ko holds off Lewis to win Swinging Skirts
DALY CITY, Calif. — After a whirlwind week featuring a multitude of celebrations that included her first LPGA Tour victory as a pro, Lydia Ko planned to sleep late Monday before catching a San Francisco cable car for a little bit of sightsseeing.
What a successful, memorable trip she had to the Bay Area.
Ko turned 17 and had "Happy Birthday" sung to her at the first tee box to kick off the inaugural Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, earned a spot as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine, and captured her first LPGA Tour title as a professional — all while playing with a fill-in caddie from the local club.
"Normally they would say sweet
16. but I would say it's sweet 17." Ko said. "I don't think I could have a better birthday week."
Poised and unflappable, Ko made the perfect pitch up to the green from the rough to birdie the final hole Sunday, holding off Stacy Lewis and Jenny Shin for her third LPGA win in all.
It went down to the final shots, and the teen made a 6-foot birdie putt moments before Lewis knocked in a 4-footer of her own to finish one stroke back.
After beginning the day a stroke behind Lewis, Ko birdied three of her final four holes on the front nine on the way to a 3-under 69 and 12-under 276 total at Lake Merced.
Ko earned $270,000, celebrating on the 18th green three days after celebrating her birthday at the first tee box with the gallery singing "Happy Birthday."
Ko, born in South Korea and raised in New Zealand, will move
up two spots to No. 2 in the next world ranking.
"Tears nearly ran down my face. You may lose friends, but you're always going to have your parents." Ko said. "I try to make myself not cry of happiness, but it was coming to that point."
She won the Canadian Women's Open as an amateur the last two years and took the Swinging Skirts World Ladies Masters in December in Taiwan in her second start as a professional. She has six victories in pro events, also winning in Australia and New Zealand.
The third-ranked Lewis finished with a 71 for her sixth runner-up finish since winning the Women's British Open in August. She will head to her home state of Texas
All three of Ko's LPGA wins have come on courses most of the other golfers also played for the first time.
Her father, G.H., got to see her win Sunday.
Shin, still looking for her first tour win after her best finish this year, had a 68 to finish two shots behind.
"They were fearless," Shin said about her playing partners, "They just went for it."
Playing together for the fourth straight day, neither Ko nor Lewis hit any dazzling shots early. Ko's second of three bogeys came on the 417-yard, par-4 seventh in which her tee shot hit a tree and dropped in the rough. Lewis' 10-foot birdie putt on No. 9 lifted up.

Recruit would make Kansas a title contender
Kansas has the chance this week to land Myles Turner, a consensus top 10 recruit and probable future NBA player. For many programs, this could be the highlight of the year. For the Jayhawks, it's a Wednesday.
By Ben Ashworth sports@kansan.com
Jayhawk fans are so accustomed to competing for top recruits that announcements seem to all blend together. But this announcement is different; Turner could be the difference between a Big 12 championship and a national championship.
Wednesday at 3 p.m., Turner will choose between Kansas, Texas, Southern Methodist and Duke, among others. Kansas and Texas are thought to be the biggest threats.
Kansas was at a point like this last year before the Andrew Wiggins commitment. Before Wiggins, Kansas was expected to battle for a second place Big 12 finish behind a Oklahoma State. After Wiggins, the Jayhawks made the leap to title contender. Despite a disappointing finish, that team was a title favorite throughout the year.
That's not to say that Turner is the program-changer that Wiggins was hyped to be. Kansas doesn't need to add a Wiggins to the talent already amassed. This year's team will have substantial talent with top-recruits Kelly Oubre and Cliff Alexander. What it does need is a Myles Turner.
Currently, Kansas' two starting big men and likely first big man off the bench stand at 61" or shorter. Perry Ellis compensates for his lack of height with crafty moves and an outside touch, but he has not demonstrated that defense is one of his assets. Jamari Traylor is a good weak-side defender, but can be beaten on the post by taller opponents.
Self loves having a tall interior presence on defense. Sasha Kaun, Cole Aldrich and Jeff Withey have all anchored that position and led some of Kansas' best defenses. Joel Embiid was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year this year. Turrer would help continue this tradition.
Kansas will be talented, with or without Turner. The ultimate difference will be the team's ceiling. Without Turner, Self will have trouble maintaining a championship-quality defense.
Turner would fix this. He stands at 6'11" and has displayed instincts on defense that Self will love. Turner did an excellent job defending Duke commit Jahil Okafer during the McDonald's All-American game, using his length to force him into difficult shots.
In addition, Turner can stretch the floor. He can step out and shoot from behind the 3-point line, which makes him virtually unguardable at the college level. This will provide a contrast to Alexander, who does his damage in the paint.
With Turner, the sky is the limit.

Jayhawk receives Big 12 Pitcher of the Week Award
SHANE JACKSON sports@kansan.com
KU
Senior right-handed pitcher Jordan Piche's list of achievements in his two-year career at Kansas just keeps on growing. In his short Jayhawk career, Piche has been recognized as 2013 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, 2013 American Baseball Coaches Association All-Midwest Region Second Team, 2013 All-Big 12 First Team, 2013 Phillips 66 Championship All-Tournament Team and 2014 Preseason Stopper of the Year Waich List.
The 6-foot Greeley, Colo., native can now add Big 12 Pitcher of the Week to his long list of achievements. On Monday afternoon, Piché was recognized as conference pitcher of the week after his stellar start on Friday night against the Baylor Bears down in Waco, Texas, that snapped a four-game losing streak.
His recognizable performance down in Waco, where he tossed his first career complete game, allowing one hit in the 1-0 game one victory, was just his fourth start in a crimson and blue uniform. Pitch eclipsed his career-high pitch count with 106 pitches, walking a pair and striking out five.
After giving up a leadoff single, Piché would not surrender another hit. He allowed the fewest hits by a Kansas starter since Shaefer Hall tossed a no-hitter against Air Force, Feb. 20, 2009. The one-hit shutout performance secured his fifth win on the year and pushed his record to 5-5.

Jayhawks to carry momentum to Wichita

sports@kansan.com
The Jayhawks head to Wichita State Tuesday to face the Shockers for the second time this year. Kansas comes off a three-game sweep of the Baylor Bears over the weekend.
The Jayhawks scored 19 runs this weekend and out-scored Baylor by 12. The weekend was highlighted by pitcher Jordan Piche's complete game, one hit shutout in the series opener. Piche received Big 12 Player of the Week honors for his performance. The second game of the series was coach Ritch Price's 1000th career win.
Kansas has been struggling as of late, but is looking to turn the corner and finish the season strong.
Kansas improved to 26-20 on the season and returned to .500 in conference play. The Shockers are coming off a series loss to Tulane this past weekend.
KANSAS WILL WIN IF...
Junior left fielder Michaael Suiter continues to be hot with the bat. Suiter leads the
jaynawks with a .350 batting average, which ranks third in the Big 12. Suiter drove in three runs this weekend and recorded three hits against Baylor. Last week against Missouri State, Suiter went five for five, increasing his batting average by 20 percentage points. Suiter has also played stellar defense in left field this season, evidenced by his perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.
KANSAS WILL LOSE IF...

Jayhawks were atop the Big 12 in hitting. The offense has struggled as of late and has caused the team to struggle as well. When Suiter and the rest of the, offense swing the bat well, they win ball games. Kansas only scored six runs in its series loss to Oklahoma State, but scored 19 runs this past weekend.

season, the righty has seen his batting average fall to below .300. McKay has been having a tremendous season this year, ranking second in the conference in home runs (nine) and RBI's (10). Until recently, McKay had been leading in both categories and it would benefit Kansas if he returned to the top. The Jayhawks offense has followed McKay's hitting this season, starting hot and struggling as of late. If Mckay's bat can heat up, the Kansas offense will likely improve as well.

STUDENT SENATE
AMELIA ARVESEN news@kansan.com
The Elections Commission certified the 2014 Student Senate elections Tuesday night. The Commission heard two complaints regarding results from Jayhawkers and two past complaints against Jayhawkers. The Grow KU executive staff will take office next Wednesday.
The Commission also released results of the election which included voting numbers for individual candidates of Crimson and True, Grow KU and Jayhawkers.
"The Elections Commission sees no reason not to certify the election results and fully believes now is the time to
conclude the election and allow the winning candidates to transition into their offices in Student Senate," Angela Murphy, a member of the Commission, said. "The unofficial results released to the public on Saturday are valid and free from material distortion as outlined in the elections code. No compelling argument has been made to the contrary. This certification preserves the integrity of the elections process and of the Student Senate."
Before the full results were released, the Commission heard two complaints from Jayhawkers that contested whether the election results were valid and free from material distortion. The pair of complaints was submitted in

didates, but it would benefit the election process.
"Releasing the results is a benefit to the students and to the legitimacy of the incoming student senators so they can
not only see what platforms the students voted for and their results reflected," Christensen said.
The second complaint came from Cal Bayer of Jayhawkers. He contested the results were not valid.
Christensen and Bayer urged the Commission to maintain the precedent, that all results should be made available to reflect a transparent process.
"In the results I do not see a single representation of my vote other than a total number which does not indicate for whom I voted or for what I voted for," Bayer said.
Rapp then presented the spreadsheet that included the total votes, votes for Grow KU and votes for Crimson and
True. After quick subtraction, the Jayhawkers votes could be concluded. At the end of the hearing, Rapp made copies of the full results available.
The Commission found Jayhawkers in violation of 7.4.9.2.1 which outlines the $1,000 spending cap for each coalition.
The Commission also heard two complaints that they postponed on April 11 against Jayhawkers from the Commission and Grow KU.
Will Admussen of Grow KU said the inclusion of the burrito purchase was at least $200 which put the Jayhawkers over the spending cap. Cody

Documentary to highlight suicide hotline volunteers
KATE MILLER news@kansan.com
It was just another day at Kortney Rist's volunteer position. The phone rang, which it had been doing throughout her shift, but this time when she answered, it was different.
"There was one call that . . . moved me," Rist said. "It was a younger teenager and she was having a really hard time and felt like she had nobody. By just talking to her and letting her know that somebody was there for her and that somebody cared, it just made me feel really grateful for all the people in my life that I do have to turn to when things get bad. I've been where she was, and it was great to have that experience to help her through."
Rist, a sophomore from Basehor, is a suicide hotline
volunteer—one of the unsung heroes behind suicide treatment and prevention. Robert Hurst, associate professor at the Department of Film and Studies, wants to give her, and all other suicide hotline volunteers, the recognition and respect that she so rightfully deserves.
Hurst is working on a documentary that aims to increase suicide awareness. In the film, he focuses on these volunteers who work suicide hotlines across the nation, telling their stories and sharing their experiences.
THE MAKING OF "THE LISTENERS"
For his film, "The Listeners," Hurst followed 13 volunteers through 11 weeks and 100 hours of training in the fall at Lawrence's Headquarters
Counseling Center. After the volunteers' work concludes this spring, he will conduct interviews regarding their time at the hotline. His film will focus on the personal stories and experiences of five volunteers, some of which are University students.
In addition to filming the volunteers in their training, Hurst and his partner participated in the initial stages of training with the volunteers, called Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, or ASIST. This training is a two-day workshop offered at Headquarters designed to help identify and assist those who may be considering suicide.
Hurst explained that most of the workshop consisted of

Potter Lake is currently on a 2014 draft list of polluted or impaired bodies of water. Campus professionals have submitted a report requesting its removal after research proved the lake is within acceptable nutrient ranges.

A red-eared slider sunbathes on a sunny spring day before sliding back into Potter Lake. The lake is currently on a 2014 draft list for polluted bodies of water. Campus experts have requested its removal after performing a series of tests that prove it is in good condition.

months of concern to KDHE and the Clean Water Act, was 6.9." Loeb said. "KDHE has set an optimal pH range of 6.5-8.5 for aquatic bodies; therefore, Potter Lake is well within that range."
One problem the DEHS has come across is water lilies. When the lake is cleaner, light can penetrate to the bottom, allowing the water lilies to grow. As a result, the water lilies can be seen in the later summer and early fall. These flowers are a problem, however, because, as they grow, they accumulate nitrogen and phosphorus — important plant nutrients.
Loeb said in the winter the plants sink to the bottom
Chlorophyll testing at Potter Lake has a mean TSI of 48 Loeb said. He also said chlorophyll in the lake ranges from 37 to 59 throughout the year and ranges 42 to 59 in the summer months. However, anything less than a TSI of 70 is fine meaning Potter Lake fills the requirements to be removed from the 303(d) list.
and decompose, releasing phosphorus into the lake.
"That food can feed algae (microscopic kinds call phytoplankton) and begin to make the lake greener — a process called eutrophication." Loeb said in an email.
Loeb also said, about four years ago, their efforts resulted in dredging the lake and removing a food supply that was causing the lake to look and appear "very unpleasant."
"In 2010, a small plant called Watermeal (each plant is about the size of a grain of rice) grew so much that the lake surface turned bright green," Loeb said in an email. "The dredging that was done after that was to remove the source of food that resulted in that type of very unattractive appearance."
Follow @KansanNews on Twitter
"There's an ongoing effort with the support of the University alumni and the students to maintain and continue to improve the water quality," Loeb said. "The department of Environmental Health and Safety is here to assist in those efforts and we provide advice and direction as to how we should move forward to maintain the water quality."
Loeb said Potter Lake is a very clean and healthy ecosystem that supports a lot of life: fish, frog and turtles.

Student group hosts second annual Justice Cafe
+
CODY KUIPER news@kansan.com
A student group on campus will bring light to social injustice this evening by celebrating artists who use their work to fight oppression.
The Students for Justice in the Middle East (SJME) will host the second annual Justice Cafe, a nationally-held event on college campuses across the country to unify different groups and promote social justice.
The event will feature local artists from different student groups who will perform music and spoken-word pieces that focus on social justice and diversity, as well internationally renowned Syrian-American hip-hop artist and peace activist Omar Offendum. Of-
fendum has toured internationally at music festivals and lectured at universities across the country, focusing on subjects of social justice, human rights and the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
"The premise of the event is to develop multi-cultural groups on campus and promote issues of social justice," said Salman Husain, a junior from Wichita and the co-president of SJME.
"We need to realize our struggles are the same, and we have a responsibility to care for all human rights issues not just in our corner of the globe, but in our neighborhoods as well," Husain said.
The Justice Cafe will include performances from a member of First Nations Student Association, an indigenous peoples group on campus, about problems native peoples face, as well as students from the Black Student Union, whose performance will focus on the issue of sexual abuse and other women's issues.
+
"As college students, we have to look at diverse backgrounds," Husain said. "Whether that's cultural differences or differences of income, we need to realize we live in systems that are often oppressive or have oppressed members, and we need to recognize our privilege and that there are people that suffer from structures in societies across the country and world."
Husain said the purpose of having students perform from a variety of groups helps reiterate the events message of open-mindedness.
Nawal Musleh, a senior from Wichita and the co-president of SJME, said it was important for the group to bring in an act that could bring attention to specific issues, but have a broad appeal at the same time.
"A lot of things he does and proceeds that he makes from these shows then goes to organizations that then help with humanitarian relief for Syria and things like that," Musleh said. "But he does have a lot of work that isn't just about Syria, he talks about human injustices that all people face too that everyone would be able to relate too."
The Justice Cafe begins at 6 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union; it is free and open to the public.

Humanities redesign program to benefit students, professors
MCKENNA HARFORD news@kansan.com
The Center for Teaching Excellence will begin a project to redesign humanities courses next fall using $215,000 in grant money from the Teagle Foundation. The project will be a collaboration among the University of Kansas, Rockhurst University, Park University and Elon University that will last for three years.
stant communication.
Six professors from each school's departments in the Liberal Arts and Sciences will work to find more interactive teaching methods and think creatively about how to engage students over a series of four face-to-face meetings and con-
"They will regularly share what they're thinking about and show examples, and then as we move further and they begin to use their new approaches in classrooms, sharing their experience, sharing their students' reactions," director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, Dan Bernstein said.
The goals of the program are to involve more students in the classroom through new teaching methods. Bernstein said he believes that this type of classroom setting will help students learn to "think deeply about a field and begin to ask more complex questions."
"Doing that requires a lot
of practice and that practice is most effective if it is done in a social context and with feedback from someone who is very experienced," Bernstein said.
Beyond the change in teaching style, Bernstein said that students will see a change in the amount of preparation that is needed for class in order for them to get the most out of what they are learning. However, this leads to larger numbers of students performing at the highest level and a higher passing rate.
"Classes taught in this way show that how the class is organized also contributes to student success," Bernstein said. "In the end what we all
want is for each student to learn the most that he or she can."
Assistant Director at the Center of Global and International Studies, Mike Wuthrich, also believes that these classes are better for students.
"Students who are engaged and take ownership of their learning enjoy it more and get more out of it," Wuthrich said. "We want them to see that these tools, knowledge and skill-building go beyond the diploma."
Wuthrich said the program can also be beneficial to professors. Currently the University provides many opportunities for professional development to faculty, including workshops provided by the CTE and technologies to take student involvement beyond the classroom.
"It seems like [the program] will add another level of interaction and opportunity." Wuthrich said. "I think it will be helping the departments as communities beyond just individual classrooms."
Because of the benefit to students and faculty, Bernstein says all of the work will be visible to the larger community through their website.
"The real benefit of any inquiry is when others know about it," Bernstein said. "I look forward to it."
— Edited by Stella Liang
PROGRAM BREAKDOWN
The program will begin next fall and take three years to complete.
There will be six professors from each of the four schools who will collaborate through face-to-face meetings and constant contact.
The program is based off 10 years of research that shows that students have higher levels of success in more engaging classrooms.

Maximum wage could help close income gap
With the school year almost over, many of us are sweating
over our summer plans. For some this means a summer job with hourly pay hovering around minimum wage. How do you feel about minimum wage? It creates deadweight loss, but is the money redistributed better? What if a maximum wage law existed?
Back in November, Switzerland voted on a maximum wage law, the 1:12 Initiative. It would require compensation at the top, for say a CEO, to only be twelve times as much as a lower level employee. This way, a CEO cannot earn more in one month than a
lower level employee earns in one year. For comparison, here's the current ratio. The average compensation ratio as reported by the AFLCIO in a CNN article says around 354:1. In one day, a CEO earns almost as much as a worker does for the whole year. Is this fair or is it something we should adjust? Are hefty salaries required to attract and retain talent, or would a top executive be willing to work for less? Or is the CEO earning their keep and deserve that level of compensation?
When it was voted on last fall, Switzerland did not pass the bill. However, it did not fail completely with no

support, so, maybe it will pass in the future. It revisited a conversation economists, politicians and theorists have been having for ages. Even President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed and set a maximum wage during World War II. It limited corporate salaries to $25,000 per year, at a time when soldiers earned only about $60 a month. The idea of a maximum wage law
is not novel, but it is starting to gain more traction.
But is a maximum wage law feasible, fair or desirable? Looking to Switzerland and the general trend of CEO compensation, it is not feasible. Few policymakers will vote in favor of this because America is the land of opportunity. If someone works hard, why should they not be compensated fairly? CEOs must consistently make the right decisions regarding business practices. If they take the risk, should they not be rewarded?
Would a 12:1 ratio be fair?
Is the arbitrary number of $25,000 fair? Probably not.
The people at the top should
be incentivized to take risks and be innovative. This is not to say their pay should have no cap at all, even professional sports franchises have caps, but setting it at 12:1 seems low. Are maximum wages desirable? Maybe. If American society wants to help the middle class, and tighten the ever-widening gap in income equality, some changes need to be made. Minimum wage could be raised but a maximum wage should also be seriously considered.

Education cuts could change Kansas' image
Over a year has passed since the first round of the Governor Brownback tax cuts and the jury is in; lower taxes in hard times will not stimulate businesses to expand and hire over the longer term.
The State of Kansas has undergone large cuts in public spending, with education being one of the hardest hit. Some of these cuts have been to such an extreme that the Supreme Court of Kansas has ruled them unconstitutional.
Cutting education is often a first choice for red-state politicians and can come with disastrous results. I am a Republican from Idaho, a deeply red state, and one which sits at the bottom of almost every ranking in education. Not surprisingly, Idaho has one of the lowest funding rates for education and one of the lowest per capita incomes in the country. The message has always been clear to me in Idaho broad cuts in education do not help anyone, but rather make us less prepared for jobs, less prepared for higher education and less competitive as a state in generating workers that attract new industry. All of these have a direct impact on the economic health of our state and the competitiveness of Kansans and Idahoans at both a state and national level.
How much is too much?
The Supreme Court of Kansas is paying attention to this unfortunate lesson on economics and education.
By Garrett Wolfe
opinion@kansan.com
The reality behind the lesson is that a failure to fund education means a failure of education. Brownback has yet to learn the lesson or even open the book. When cuts are this extreme, with no thought to the impact this would have on the citizens of Kansas, one must ask why the governor of this state cares so little for its citizens. One of the most obvious conclusions to be drawn is that in the mad dash to a potential presidential bid in 2016, Brownback has eyes only for the finish line of national politics and no care for those that will help get him there.
By exhausting the Kansas General Fund, Brownback isn't left with too many choices. The Kansas Legislative Research Department, a nonpartisan part of the legislature, found that revenue isn't keeping up with expenses even after the massive cuts in spending, including those on colleges, libraries, local health departments, courts, and welfare. If this continues unabated, the numbers show us the state's general fund will have a shortfall of about $900 million by fiscal year 2019. The Kansas Constitution requires a balanced budget, so the picture is clear: either taxes will have to go back up or spending will have to come down even more.
Rather than making Kansas a competitive state with competitive towns that can generate additional revenue
by attracting industry. Brownback has created a reputation for us as a state that is so extreme in its lack of regard for education and competitive industry that we continue to see Kansas towns and economies die off. My family has deep roots in Kansas on both sides and they are hopeful I can build a future in this state when I graduate. Even they wonder what will happen if Brownback leaves Kansas uncompetitive and out of money. Where will the future be for retaining and attracting citizens for the growth and strength of this state?
DIVERSITY
Kansas growth is behind the national average and the extreme cuts that have been made to education only make that situation worse in the short term and long term. You can produce sound bytes touting an "economic shot of adrenaline" all day long but my Kansas relatives will tell you words are cheap, it is the actions of elected officials that you must watch. In a quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson, "The cornerstone of democracy rests on the foundation of an educated electorate." It is important to remember that funding education is not only essential for the wellbeing of students, like those of us at Kansas colleges, but also to the functioning of democracy.

Connecting with your heritage is rewarding
Recently I reconnected with my African heritage. On April 17, I went to the Sisimuka Africa event, a University event hosted by the African Students Association that was rich with African poetry, music, dancing, fashion and food. It was really interesting, and I had a great time learning about my ancestral roots. I learned very quickly that dancing and music plays a big part in African culture. When the music began playing, you were expected to get out of your chair and dance away.
you chan and dance driver.
I had the opposite reaction,
clinging to the armrests of my seat. There was no way I was going to dance. I can't dance in general, let alone African style.
That is definitely something that has been washed out of my blood. But soon everyone around me was dancing (a few seats down from me there a wude really getting into it), so I stood up. Slowly, I began to sway back and forth.
I wasn't busting any Michael Jackson moves, but it was pretty good for me.
By Crystal Bradshaw opinion@kansan.com
People read beautiful poetry afterwards. I was mesmerized by the thick accent of the poet and begin thinking of Africa. Someday I would like to visit where my family came from. I would like to have the sun fall on my face, bury my fingers into the soil and sit in the land of my ancestors. I wouldn't expect to find out much about my family's African history. Just being in my homeland would be enough for me.
Another thing I learned very quickly during Sisimuka is that African spirit is strong.
During the African fashion show at the event, I discovered that excitement is shown by screeching. Well, screeching wouldn't be the right word. Calling? Though I don't know the correct term for these bursts of excitement, one thing for certain is that I jumped out of my seat numerous of times from these sudden African calls.
One reason I liked the event so much was because it allowed me to peek into my own culture. Everywhere I turned was African culture and I absorbed it all with wide eyes. While listening to a beautifully read poem, I realized that sometimes we forget about our own heritage. We can spend so much time studying other cultural lifestyles that we unintentionally neglect our own. Going to the Sisimuka Africa event was a breath of fresh air. It reestablished my identity. It revived my African ancestry. It also reminded me that I still can't dance. Or at least that I'm not the next Michael Jackson.

THE TRADITION

The newly remodeled Bullwinkles, 1344 Tennessee St., lost its historic feel and sharpie-covered walls but remains a popular campus hangout.
Bull remains campus classic after remodel
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
Friday afternoons were forever changed this summer when driving past 14th and Tennessee streets meant seeing the wooden patio of Bullwinkle's Bar and the sharpie-colored walls completely destroyed. Facebook posts and statuses took over news feeds like Buzzfeed quiz links, voicing opinions from alumni and students alike about how to face the fact that the Bull was no longer going to flaunt its historic rustic-ness.
But now, a year later, the new, modern patio of the Bull is overflowing with University students. Moosebulls have made a comeback for better and for worse, and girls and boys finally get to enjoy separate bathrooms.
Junior Drew Auer from Prairie Village says she has come to love the new Bull but misses the historic and intangible feel it had before the remodel.
"I really miss that it said 'Les Bullwinkles' on the outside and that the 'e' was hanging upside down," Auer said. "It was classic."
Auer says although she is a big believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," she appreciates the
overall improvements and that the patio atmosphere didn't change. She says that it is a usual destination for her and her friends on a Friday afternoon or weekend night.
"There will never be another old Bull," Brown said. "I think when people say they miss the old Bull, they are really missing that special year in college, when everything and everyone is new. I will always miss the old Bull, but I couldn't replicate the times I had there, even if the old structure was still there."
"What I like best about the Bull now is, hands down the ceiling," Auer said. "That is one of the greatest things to hit KU. Oh, and the heat lamps outside are on point."
Senior Melissa Brown from Wichita says even though she misses the old Bull, she knows that most of her sadness, like most people's, wasn't about the structure itself, but about the nostalgia and the memories.
Although sharpie-ing our names on the walls of the Bull isn't an option and the wooden patio is gone, the remodeled Bull five years from now will just be "the Bull." The remodeled Bull now boasts a crowd on weekends and popular week nights. Hockey fans have
found a home on the patio and there is occasionally live music.
Junior Kendall Kohnle from Overland Park is a bartender at the Bull and says in comparison to other bartending jobs she has held in Lawrence, she loves working at the Bull the most.
"I have been a bartender at other bars and this is the first place I have really felt comfortable." Kohnle said. "I also like that the conditions are really nice to work in. We try really hard to keep everything clean and organized which makes a huge difference in the drinks we serve and the customer's experience."
Brown says she sees this organization and cleanliness and knows this is what will keep drawing a crowd to the Bull.
"After a year, I have started to get used to the new Bull," Brown said. "The patio is still the best place to sit after a long week of classes. It still doesn't feel like the old Bull, but it's also not filled with the same people. I am pleased to see that it hasn't lost its ability to bring new friend groups together."

SENATE FROM PAGE 1
Christensen of Jayhawkers said excluding the burritos, the Jayhawkers' expenditures totaled $991.
Christensen argued the expenditure should not be counted on the financial statements because Jayhawkers were reimbursed for the burritos by 50 individuals, who signed documents stating such.
Christensen said one burrito, an expense of $7, was not reimbursed.
The Commission heard Christensen's response but decided Jayhawkers expenditures totaled more than $1,000.
"I think the fact the Elections Commission found the Jayhawkers were in violation of exceeding their spending cap just cements that the Jayhawkers did in fact commit an egregious violation." Admussen said.
Morgan Said, the newly elected student body president, said she is excited the results have been verified so she can begin to function with her executive staff as the next Student Senate.
"I have spoken to numerous individuals in all three coalitions and we are excited to work together and collaborate," she said. "Our goal is to integrate all these different ideas and opinions and I think we'll begin that at joint Senate."
MacKenzie Oatman, presidential candidate of Jayhawkers, said she was thankful the results were released but disappointed that Grow KU would take office without a majority of votes.
"I don't know how you can take office knowing you didn't receive the vote for it," Oatman said.
She said Jayhawkers plan to submit an appeal of the certified results to the Student Senate Court of Appeals.
- Kevin Hundelt, presidential candidate for Crimson and True, was unavailable for comment.

role-play situations in which one person was a caller and another the hotline worker. He described how the leader of the workshop presented a situation to them acting as the caller.
"She hits the table really hard and says, 'That was the first barrel of shotgun, I've got another barrel loaded; what are you going to do?'
"My mind just went blank — I was terrified," Hurst said. "It was interesting because even though it was a role-play, it becomes very serious very quickly. It drove home how the calls you get can be a teenager who just broke up with her boyfriend, or a middle-aged person who lost their job and their spouse left them and is literally driving down the road with a fifth of whiskey in their hand, about to drive off a bridge. You never know what you're going to get."
Hurst expects to finish the film in the fall of 2015. After an initial screening and some festival appearances, he hopes to release the film on video to bring further awareness to the issue of suicide.
He also hopes the audience will be able to connect and think about their own experiences in relation to those of the volunteers.
"A great experience is just meeting all these amazing people who are very comfortable in their own skin," Hurst said. "The people who do this, who volunteer, are not perfect people who have solved all of their own problems. They're all very human and fallible people."
HEADQUARTERS COUNSELING CENTER
The Center, 211 E. 8th St., is the Lifeline Center for Kansas — the representative of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in the state. The Center has one or two volunteers or staff members on call from 8 a.m. to midnight every day of the year. In addition to acting as a suicide hotline, it is also a resource for those who simply need someone to speak to about difficult times they may be having.
Hotline volunteers work four hour shifts at the Center, usually two shifts a week, answering typically eight to 12 calls each shift. Volunteers are selected after a vigorous application process, and after more than 100 hours of training, are required to participate in observation shifts under trained staff before being allowed to answer calls on their own, according to interim executive director Steve Lopes.
The Center currently has 30 counselors who are on the phones each week. Lopes said that the Center hopes to train more volunteers in the next months, which will allow the phone lines to remain open 24/7 each week starting July 1. Currently, calls made between midnight and 8 a.m. are transferred to a lifeline center in St. Louis.
THE VOLUNTEERS
Taylor Johnson, a senior from Eudora, is one of the Center's volunteers. As a psychology major, she originally applied to the program as a résumé-booster for her graduate school applications. However, through her time at the hotline, she said she discovered much more about herself than she knew before.
"It's made me a lot more aware of my own emotions. I used to put myself down and think, 'Oh, you're stupid for feeling that,' but now I can be more mindful of that," Johnson said. "I'm better at communicating emotions with other people and tuning into other people's emotions. When I got there, I realized I have an affinity for talking to
people and connecting with people after talking to [callers] for just a few minutes over the phone. That's what made me realize I wanted to be a counselor."
Rist, also a psychology major, applied in order to boost her graduate school résumé as well. However, as someone who has suffered depression and known suicide victims, she had a more personal connection to the program.
"I think [my experiences] have really helped me to be able to understand what people are feeling and why they are feeling it," Rist said. "When you're feeling depressed, it's hard to find the motivation to get up and do something. So I understand when people are talking and are like, 'I.I just don't know.' I can understand them a lot better that way."
Johnson described one experience she had on call, speaking to a woman who was experiencing relationship problems with her boyfriend.
"I kind of took off my counselor hat and was just me," she said. "She was like, 'If I had met you in person I know we would be friends,' and that was really cool for me to hear that. We definitely ended that call as kind of, like, friends."
Working with Hurst as a part of his documentary constantly reminds Johnson of the significance of her work at the hotline. Telling her story is yet another way for her to make an impact with what she is doing.
"With the interviews and that perspective, it forces you to take a step back and realize the magnitude of what we are doing," Johnson said. "It made me feel good because they are always there to remind us of how important it is and the difference we are making."
Rist emphasized the fact that a person need not be certified in any way to make a difference in someone's life, something she has learned from working at the Center.

Republican Gov. Mary Fallin-ordered a 14-day stay of execution for another inmate who was scheduled to die two hours after Lockett, Charles Warner. She also ordered the Department of Corrections to conduct a "full review of Oklahoma's execution procedures to determine what happened and why during this evening's execution."
"It was a horrible thing to witness. This was totally botched." said Lockett's attorney, David Autry.
"They should have anticipated possible problems with an untried execution protocol. Obviously the whole thing was gummed up and batched from beginning to end. Halting the execution obviously did Lockett no good," Autry said.
About three minutes later, though, Lockett began breathing heavily, writering on the gurney, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow. After about three minutes, a doctor lifted the sheet that was covering Lockett to examine the injection site.

already successfully carried out executions with their new supplies.
"There was some concern at that time that the drugs were not having that (desired) effect, and the doctor observed the line at that time and determined the line had blown," Patton said at a news conference afterward, referring to Lockett's vein rupturing.
States have been scrambling for drugs after drugmakers many based in Europe with longtime opposition to the death penalty — stopped selling to prisons and corrections departments.
The blinds were eventually lowered to prevent those in the viewing gallery from watching what was happening in the death chamber, and the state's top prison official eventually called a halt to the proceedings, although it didn't save Lockett.
After that, an official who was inside the death chamber lowered the blinds, preventing those in the viewing room from seeing what was happening.
The execution began at 6:23 p.m. when officials began administering the first drug, and a doctor declared Lockett to be unconscious at 6:33 p.m.
Clayton Lockett, 38, was declared unconscious 10 minutes after the first of the state's new three-drug combination was administered. Three minutes later, though, he began breathing heavily, writhing on the gurney, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow.
Robert Patton, the director of the Department of Corrections, halted Lockett's execution about 20 minutes after the first drug was administered, saying later there had been vein failure.
McAlester, Okla. — A botched execution using a disputed new drug combination left an Oklahoma inmate writhing and clenching his teeth on the gurney on Tuesday, leading prison officials to halt the proceedings before the inmate's eventual death from a heart attack.
Patton then made a series of phone calls before calling a halt to the execution.
Lockett's botched execution is sure to fuel the debate over the death penalty in the U.S., where several states have had to scramble to find new sources of execution drugs because drugmakers that oppose capital punishment — many based in Europe — stopped selling to prisons and corrections departments.

"Anybody can help somebody that's going through a rough patch," she said. "You don't have to have some big fancy degree to be able to help somebody through one of the darkest parts of their lives. It's ok to talk about it — most of the time people just want to be able to talk about it."
Several states have gone to court to shield the identities of the new sources of their execution drugs. Missouri and Texas, like Oklahoma, have both refused to reveal their sources, but both of those states have
"After conferring with the warden, and unknown how much drugs went into him, it was my decision at that time to stop the execution," Patton told reporters.

Autry questioned the amount of the sedative midazolam that was given to Lockett, saying he thought that the 100 milligrams called for in the state's execution protocol was "an overdose quantity." He also was skeptical of the department's determination that Lockett's vein failed.

NBA bans Donald Sterling after racist remarks
THE MORNING BREW
NBA commissioner Adam Silver dropped the hammer on Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling after allegations of Sterling making racist comments in a recorded conversation. Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA and has been fined $2.5 million for the comments.
The conversation was between Sterling and his girlfriend V. Stiviano. In the conversation Stiviano said, "I don't understand. I don't see your views. I wasn't raised the way you were raised."
Sterling responds with, "Well then, if you don't feel — don't come to my games. Don't bring black people and don't come."

"Do you know that you have a whole team that's black, that plays for you?" Stiviano asked.
"You just, do I know? I support them and give them food and clothes and cars and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have — Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners that created the league?"
Sterling said.
The conversation continued on with how Sterling wanted Stiviano to delete "all the black people" from her Instagram, how black Jews are "a hundred percent, fifty, a hundred percent" less than white jews and comparing racism to the Holocaust.
Silver wants Sterling to sell his franchise.
"I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners I need to remove him," Silver said. The Chicago Bulls released a
Sterling ends the conversation with,
"There's no racism here. If you don't want to be... walking... into a basketball game with a certain... person, is that racism?"
The Chicago Bulls released a
statement saying they "will support recommendation" for Sterling to "relinquish his ownership."
The Atlanta Hawks majority owner Bruce Levenson said ["Silver] acted swiftly and appropriately with the severity of the penalty and I strongly support his decision."
As for who will be

purchasing the Clippers, there are rumors floating around saying that former NBA legend Magic Johnson is interested in buying the team.
According to ABC, "the NBA Players Association threatened to boycott the league if swift, punitive action wasn't taken" against Sterling.
"We had a call with the commissioner, with the executive committee representatives [of the Board of Governors], and with players across the league, and the commissioner asked us what our views were," said Roger Mason, the NBPA (National Basketball Player's Association) vice president. "We made it clear the players were ready to boycott."
The situation will continue to develop as the weeks go on. It is unknown if Sterling will go out quietly or if he will make a scene with his departure. Some players including Steve Nash, current
Some players including Steve Nash, current
point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, have come out and given their thoughts on the situation.
"This is an astonishing situation obviously," said Nash. "It begs a bigger question. If racism is a learned behavior, how long will it go on for? How long will people be taught to be bigoted, to discriminate and to instill hatred in our communities? Let's hope this is an opportunity for all of us, the players and the league and the community to help educate and take one step further toward eradicating racism in our communities."

Rain washes out Pirates-Orioles game, rescheduled
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAUTIMORE
The game has been resched-
BALTIMORE — Maddy Machado will have to wait at least another day before making his season debut with the Baltimore Orioles.
Machado joined his teammates and was poised to be activated from the 15-day disabled list before rain postponed Tuesday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
"I'm here to play baseball," he
ulled for Thursday night, previously a day off for both teams. Machado hasn't played for Baltimore since undergoing left knee surgery last October. The 2013 All-Star third baseman won't formally come off the DL until the next day the Orioles are to play a game, manager Buck Showalter said. Rain is in the forecast Wednesday, too. Machado is ready to play, rain or shine.
said, "If it is snow, if it is rain, if it is whatever."
After a rehabilitation assignment that consisted of playing three games for Class A Frederick, Machado was convinced he's ready to compete again at the major league level.
Gold Glove winner J.J. Hardy.
"We played 156, 157 games together on the left side of the infield last year, so it's going to be nice to be looking over to my right and being pretty familiar with each other," Hardy said. "We're all happy to have him back."
The 21-year-old Machado hit .283 with 14 homers, 71 RBIs and 51 doubles last year, his first full season in the majors. He will fill the roster spot vacated by slugger Chris Davis, who went on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a strained left oblique.
"The last couple days definitely helped," he said. "I felt ready a couple days ago. ... It was just a matter of getting the repetitions. I feel good. That's the main thing. I feel great. My

Machado will also provide stability defensively next to fellow
"I'm ready to play baseball. I'm going to go out there and make
whatever play comes my way," he said. "I made a couple of nice plays in the lower levels, and I feel good defensively. I feel great (there). I'm not concerned about anything. I'm a baseball player, and I've been doing this my whole life. I'm just going to go out there, and whatever comes my way, just go out there and do it and play some baseball and have some fun at the same while I'm doing it."

S
COMMENTARY Kansas stacked with or without Turner
THE MORNING BREW LA Clippers owner banned for life from the NBA PAGE 9
By Brian Hillix
sports@kansan.com
For the second straight season, Kansas will have a very crowded frontcourt. Even with Joel Embiid and Tarik Black departing, Kansas coach Bill Self will be forced to keep talented big men on the bench, something he had to do last season with forwards Landen Lucas and Justin Wesley.
Keep队 in Marden If Turner commits to Kansas, it will bolster an impressive frontcourt. If Turner commits to Texas, Kansas will still have enough muscle in the paint to face him come conference season.
Myles Turner, the No.9 recruit in the country according to Rivals.com, is set to announce his college plans today at 3 p.m.Many speculate that it is a two-horse race between Kansas and the University of Texas, with schools like Southern Methodist University and Duke University also in consideration.
Should Turner play at Kansas next season, Perry Ellis may not even be in the starting lineup—a crazy proposition for many. That would leave Jamari Traylor, Hunter Mickleson and Lucas to compete for a backup position, while the other two will become insurance in case of injury or foul trouble.
That said, even with a Turner-less roster, the Jayhawks will have depth down low with five big men who can contribute.
Edited by Jamie Koziol
After sitting out a year due to the NCAs transfer rules, Mickleson will be eligible to play next year. Known as a skilled-shot blocker and a cape shooter, Mickleson is a player many aren't talking about who will make a strong push for playing time. A solid rim protector, he set the freshman blocks record at Arkansas with 72 in the 2011-12 season.
While Kansas would certainly miss Turner and his diverse skillset if he went elsewhere, the team should be fine with Cliff Alexander and his 7-foot-3 wingspan playing center. In the 2010-11 season, Kansas made the Elite Eight and lost just three games all season without a true center in the rotation. Alexander's defensive prowess and Ellis' smooth offensive game should be more than enough to help Kansas make a deep run in March
Signing Turner would be another big recruiting splash for the Jayhawks, making an already-stacked Kansas team even more dangerous. But it also presents an interesting dilemma, one that will happen whether Turner comes to Kansas or not.
Then there is Traylor, a mega-athletic player who is one of Kansas' best post defenders. He showed his potential in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament last season with career-highs of 17 points and 14 rebounds. The redshirt sophomore has the most experience in Self's system.
With two years at Kansas under his belt, Lucas is another candidate to receive increased minutes. Lucas showed glimpses of his potential this season and is a very skilled rebounder with an arsenal of post moves.

Senior catcher Ka'iana Eldredge swings at bat in the game Tuesday night against Wichita State. The 10-3 victory gives Kansas a 4-1 record against in-state teams.
sports@kansan.com
Twenty-eight days had passed since the last time these two in-state rivals faced off on the diamond, but the outcome remained the same, a Kansas victory. Back on April 1, the Jayhawks hosted the Shockers in a 4-2 win. A few weeks later, they traveled to Shocker country, on Tyler Field in Eck Stadium, and oddly enough performed better, with a convincing 10-3 victory.
"Our guys rose to the occasion and took pride in this rivalry. That was one of our best games of the year," said coach Ritch Price.
Road wins seem to be a popular trend, as the Jayhawks now are on a four-game win streak, with all four victories coming on the road.
Many things have changed since that April Fools in-state showdown, but the game started exactly the same. In their first meeting Kansas jumped out to a 4-0 lead on senior pitcher, Drew Palmer, forcing a quick exit for the left
hander in the second inning.
"I told our guys we are going to play the most road games of any team in a BCS conference and we have done a real good job on the road all year," Price said.
Wichita State tried a different arm to oppose the Jayhawks, with freshman lefty Cody Tyler. Tyler like his senior mentor, was beaten up in a quick fashion, by the bats of the visiting Jayhawks. Jayhawks strung together four runs off two hits in the first, drawing a pair of walks, and one charity stroll to first on a hit by pitch.

"They started lefties both times but we got in good counts. It's always good to take advantage of a pitcher early," said sophomore second baseman Colby Wright.
Junior designated hitter Dakota Smith ripped a double to left center, to score Wright and junior left fielder Michael Suiter. Another walk set Blair Beck up with the second hit of the inning, a two RBI double down the right field line, to give Kansas a 4-0 lead before the seats were even warm.
Like the previous meeting nearly a month ago, Wichita State attempted to make a surge after falling into an early deficit. They score one in the second and two in the seventh. Sandwiched in between was an insurance run for Kansas driven in by Wright, on a double to right center.
Coach Price tossed out his freshman on the bump, right
hander Jon Hander, who had begun settling into his new role as the midweek starter. The freshman allowed only one run off two hits, walking a pair, in five innings of work to pick up his second win (2-1).
"I just throw a lot of strikes. I was able to get my slider going and it helps having a good defense behind me," said Hander.
Offensively the Jayhawks aided Hander as they scored 10 runs off 14 hits, in their 10-3 victory. A trio of players had a multiple RBI evening; senior center fielder Tucker Tharp had a pair of RBIs, as did Beck on his lone double. Smith led the way driving in runs thrice. Wright had a pair of doubles and was perfect at the plate (4-4).
With the in-state victory the Jayhawks are now 4-1 against teams that reside in the state of Kansas after winning two of three in Manhattan against the boys in purple. The Jayhawks now boast a 27-20 record, and are riding a four game win streak, the second longest of their season.
