Chairman John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican, asks a question during a Kansas House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee hearing on legislation reducing penalties for first- and second-time marjuana possession Wednesday. Supporters acknowledge that the state's budget woes are part of the reason they're pushing the measure.
ANOTHER GO
Legislature hears medical mariuana bill for second time
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The bill to legalize medical marijuana in Kansas has once again been introduced and referred to the Public Health and Welfare Committee.
State Sen. David Haley, D-Kansas City, Kan., first introduced the bill in 2010 only to have the bill die in committee. He reintroduced the bill for the 2015 legislative session.
"It's a safe alternative to many prescription drugs, and it doesn't make sense to demonize it," Haley said. "We're going to keep pushing this."
Haley said medical marijuana will help relieve effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and help senior citizens cope with painful health issues such as glaucoma or cancer. He also said he noticed too many law-abiding citizens being held or arrested for possession of what he said is a benign substance.
"I believe in crimes that fit the times," he said. "If a crime doesn't match the danger it poses to a person, it doesn't make any sense."
When Haley began working on this bill, nine states and Washington, D.C. had provisions legalizing medical marijuana. Now, 23 states and D.C. have such laws.
"I'm confident that medical marijuana will be made available in all 50 states in
the future," Haley said.
Haley said he doubts the bill will pass this year because Kansas tends to be less open to change than other states.
"I don't know what state we'll be," he said. "Maybe we'll be No. 24, which I doubt. The learning curve in Kansas is an issue. We're slow to learn and to grow."
The Cannabis Compassion and Care Act would mimic what the 23 states and D.C. have set up. The bill would create a patient registry with identification cards, set up dispensaries and outline the health conditions that would be eligible for treatment with medical marijuana.
Joe Preblud, a sophomore from Denver, said his home state benefited from legalizing marijuana by imposing heavy taxes on marijuana, while allowing people who need marijuana for medical needs to get access.
"What we did in Colorado is great because it allows people with stress disorders and PTSD to use something better than prescription drugs in some case," he said.
Preblud said there are still issues with regulating marijuana, such as people still buying from dealers who purchase marijuana from growers, rather than from the heavily taxed dispensaries. However, Preblud said he was glad to see some Kansas legislators pushing for the legalization of medical
mariiuana.
"I think medical marijuana should be available everywhere in all 50 states because it has so many benefits," he said. "If all states legalized it, the feds aren't going to come shut it down because it really is beneficial to so many people."
Last time the bill did not go any further than the committee, and Haley predicts the same will happen this time.
"This is a state where many people and elected officials feel that if it was good enough for our forefathers and our ancestors, then it's good enough for us." Haley said. "Just because something always was, certainly doesn't mean it's the way it should be. We're steeped in yesteryear. Kansans aren't open to change."
Regardless of what Kansans think of medical marijuana, Haley said it is crucial for constituents to voice their opinions to their state legislators.
"It is important for those who read this to contact their legislators in their own district and to express their opinion," he said. "It is important to share what they think — on both sides of the issue — with their senator or state representative so the issue will continue to be debated."

Study: Debt leads to post-grad problems
TIM MCGINNIS
@tim_mcginnis
Student loans are taking a toll on families. According to a recent study at Pew Research Center, roughly four in every 10 households headed by an adult under the age of 40 are struggling with debt to some extent.
These most recent numbers are the highest on record. Additionally, students who did not take out student loans had a net worth seven times greater than those who did.
coordinator, said most of the students that come into her office need help managing their student loans.
"We take a look at the student's loans, and help them come up with a plan to pay them off after graduation," Bayo said. "We want students to be able to pay off their debt in a responsible and simple way."
Bayo said many of her clients have loan and credit card debt because students have no experience in dealing with these monetary issues.
One of the reasons for this increase in debt is because many students find that loans are the only way to pay for rising tuition costs. This issue is prevalent at the University, where tuition has risen each year since 1994. Tuition for nonresident students at the University is currently $24,831, while tuition for resident students is $9,548, based on 30 credits per year, according to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.
"It is difficult for some people to handle student loans and a credit card at the same time," Bayo said. "That is a lot of responsibility for many students."
"Most of the people who give you the loans make it easy to pay them back," Donnelly said. "The most important thing is finding a job so you can."
Patrick Donnelly, a sophomore from Chicago, said he should be able to pay off his student loans as long as he is able to get a job after graduation.
Although college loans lead to debt in multiple areas, the Pew study indicated indebted college graduates do achieve a higher average income than students without a bachelor's degree. Bayo said with a good plan in place, most students are able to pay off all their debt in about a 10-year time frame.
While college loans are one source of the student debt issue, credit cards can aggravate the problem. Managing money can be a challenge for the many college students who have to pay back loans and pay for the cost of living. However, the University has implemented organizations that help students with their monetary needs.
Jessie Jacobe, a sophomore from Chicago, said he took out student loans because it became too difficult to pay out-of-state tuition.
"Student loans can be a difficult thing to deal with for college students, but it is an investment in their future that will pay off greatly," Bayo said.
Student Money Management Services is an on-campus organization that helps students responsibly manage their money while they are in college and after they graduate. Fatou Bayo, the organization's project
While rising tuition is one of the reasons behind student debt, another important factor is whether students get a job after college.
"Loans are the only way I have to pay for school because my mom is the only one that
works, and she has to pay for three kids to go to college," Jacobe said.

This image made from a video released by Islamic State militantsSaturday purports to show a militant standing next to Japanese journalist Kenji Goto before his beheading by the militant group. Goto was captured in October 2014 after he traveled to Syria to try to win the release of Haruna Yukawa.
Horror in Japan as video shows hostage beheaded
ELAINE KURTENBACH Associated Press
TOKYO (AP) — The wife of slain Japanese hostage Kenji Goto said Monday that she was devastated but proud of her husband, who was beheaded by Islamic State extremists.
In a statement issued through the British-based journalist group Rory Peck Trust, Rinko Jogo requested privacy for her family as they deal with their loss, and thanked those who had supported them.
"I remain extremely proud of my husband, who reported the plight of people in conflict areas like Iraq, Somalia and Syria," she said.
Until now, Japan had not become directly embroiled in the fight against the militante
"It was his passion to highlight the effects on ordinary people, especially through the eyes of children, and to inform the rest of us of the tragedies of war," she said. Goto left for Syria in late October just a few weeks after the birth of the couple's youngest daughter. Soon after, he was captured by the militants.
The government also has called on all journalists and others in areas near the conflict to withdraw, given the risk of further kidnappings or other threats.
In parliamentary debate Monday, opposition
Appalled and saddened by news of Goto's death following the release of a video showing his killing, purportedly by the Islamic State group. Japan has ordered heightened security precautions at airports and at Japanese facilities overseas, such as embassies and schools.
lawmakers challenged Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's effort to raise Japan's diplomatic profile through non-military support for countries fighting the Islamic State group, which control about a third of both Syria and Iraq.
Citing previous cases, including a 1995 sarin gas attack in Tokyo's subways. Abe said he did not see an increased terrorist risk following savage threats in the purported Islamic State group video, which vowed to target Japanese and make the knife Goto's killer was wielding Japan's "nightmare."
Japan will not be cowed by such threats, Abe said. "The terrorists are criminals," he said. "We are determined to pursue them and hold them accountable."
Abes said Japan will persevere in providing humanitarian aid to countries fighting Islamic State extremists, saying that bowing to terrorist intimidation would prevent Japan from providing medical assistance and other aid it views as necessary for helping to restore stability in the region.
The failure to save Goto raised fears for the life of a Jordanian fighter pilot also held by the Islamic State militants.
Government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani told The Associated Press that "we are still ready to hand over" prisoner Sajida al-Rishawi, who faces death by hanging for her role in triple hotel
Jordan renewed an offer Sunday to swap an al-Qaida prisoner for the pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, who was seized after his F-16 crashed near the Islamic State group's de facto capital, Raqga, Syria, in December.
"We're all either going to
With no updates for days, al-Kaseasbeh's family appealed to the government for information on his situation. But for Goto's family and friends, the beheading shattered any hopes for his rescue.
bombings in Jordan in 2005. Al-Rishawi has close family ties to the Iraq branch of al-Qaida, a precursor of the Islamic State group.
Jogo, Goto's wife, said she had received several emails from unknown people claiming to be her husband's captors. But the hostage crisis became a national issue after the militants issued a demand for $200 million in ransom, to be paid within 72 hours, on lan. 20.
Later, the militants' demand shifted to seeking the release of al-Rishawi, who survived the 2005 attack that killed 60 people when her explosive belt failed to detonate in the worst terror attack in Jordan's history.
Jordan and Japan reportedly conducted indirect negotiations with the militants through Iraqi tribal leaders, but late on Friday the Japanese envoy sent to Amman to work on the hostage crisis reported a deadlock in those efforts.
The U.N. Security Council issued a statement Sunday demanding "the immediate, safe and unconditional release of all those who are kept hostage" by the Islamic State group. Council members underlined the need to bring those responsible for Goto's "heinous and cowardly murder" to justice and stressed that the Islamic State group "must be defeated and that the intolerance, violence and hatred it espouses must be stamped out."
Students and alumni alike came out to participate in the Bowling Luau. Rachel Polk and Erin Miner, School of Education alumnae, Amber Samson, a third-year graduate student from Midland, Mich., and Erik Clarke, a sixth-year graduate student from Lincoln, Neb., all got together in a group to bowl at the luau.

"I saw the email, and we like bowling," Clarke said. "Then I kind of invited everybody to join us." Samson said the reason they came out was to support the School of Education.
Students and alumni participated in the event until 6:30 p.m. until it moved next door to Wayne & Larry's Sports Bar & Grill, where a silent auction was conducted and prizes were given out along with an award for the best costume.

KC opens center for engineering, science students
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A new center that hopes to eventually provide resources for science and engineering students throughout the Kansas City region is now open.
The KC Engineering Zone workspace, a 4,200-square-foot center on the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus, was officially dedicated this week, although it's already being used by robotics teams from Paseo Academy and Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in Kansas City, The Kansas City Star reported.
The center — nicknamed KCEZ— offers students such tools as Bridgeport milling machines, a metal lathe and shear, a band saw, drill presses and rows of computers. More importantly, professional engineers and Missouri-Kansas City students work alongside students who are pursuing or considering careers in science, technology engineering and math. It is open Saturdays, holidays and after school.
"This is four hours of love for me," said 17-year-old Devin Edwards of Paseo, who wants to be an astrophysicist and is already considering several college options.
The KC STEM Alliance and its partners have bigger plans for the center, such as attracting more schools' robotics teams and engineering projects and holding STEM summer camps. They want to attract students who are already interested in the field as well as those who are just considering it.
"This will be a resource center for STEM for the region," said the alliance's director, Laura Loyacono.
STEM fields "are so desperate for engineers," she said. "They can absorb as many as we can create. And we want these students to have that chance."
The zone plans to draw more students into programs like the FIRST Robotics competition, without any negative peer pressure, "in an environment where science and technology is celebrated," said Tim Moormeier, president of U.S. Engineering Co. in Kansas City and project manager for the center.
Moormeier said he was hooked on the robotics competition while watching his son compete on the successful Olathe Northwest

High School team, saying the teams have to work together like a good business.
The new space is a big improvement, said 18-year-old Paseo student Maria Ponce. She said last year her team constantly needed more space than its classroom allowed.
"Every high school" should have a "FIRST Robotics team like every high school has a football team," he said.

"We had to use the hallway," she said. "We know the struggle."
Students also were limited by school hours, senior Trey Bradley said. The competition requires teams to build their robots in only six weeks.
"We had such little time, we had no time to practice with it," Bradley said. "This year? I'm ecstatic about the whole situation."
The Paseo and Lincoln teams are working hard now, as two of the 52 teams from the Midwest preparing for the Kansas City regional robotics tournament March 12-14 at Metropolitan Community College-Business and Technology Campus.

Super Bowl ads take on unusually serious tone
MAE ANDERSON Associated Press
This image from video provided by Weight Watchers shows a frame from their television commercial scheduled to air during the Super Bowl NFL football game Sunday. Fifteen advertisers, including Weight Watchers, made their Super Bowl debut in 2015, buying a place on the biggest, most expensive stage in American television.
WEIGHT WATCHERS/ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Forget slapstick and sex in Super Bowl ads: This year, serious was the name of the game. Nationwide ran an ad on preventable childhood death Carnival struck a somber note with a voiceover by John F. Kennedy speaking lyrically about the sea. And a public service announcement by coalition No More depicted a chilling 911 call from a battered woman to demonstrate the terror of domestic abuse.
Other advertisers had positive, albeit equally serious themes: McDonald's said it would let some customers pay with acts of kindness, Coca-Cola showed online negativity and bullying turning positive and Procter & Gamble's ad for its Always feminine products brand tried to redefine what it means to do things like a girl.
"It's a shame there aren't any commercials for antidepressants because these commercials make me want some," said Jon Early, who was watching the game in New York with friends. "Football is supposed to be an escape."
The serious tone is an effort to win over Americans who have a lower tolerance for crass ads with an overuse of sexually explicit themes and sophomoric humor.
They also have short attention spans these days, thanks to bite-sized communication of social media. The serious spots were a continuation of a trend that started last year when advertisers shied away from the tactics that
With 30-second ads costing $4.5 million for the chance to market their brand to 110-plus million Americans, advertisers were trying to make their mark by marketing socially-conscious messages. In the process they hoped to boost the image of their brands.
had been commonplace during the Super Bowl. The difference this year is that many of the serious ads had an overarching "message" to live better, think better and be better.
"The Super Bowl reflects what's happening in the country," said Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at the Kellogg School of Managemen at Northwestern University. "Maybe in the country today we're a little more reflective and a little more pensive."
SERIOUS TONE
A Microsoft ad with a voiceover by rapper Common told the story of Braylon O'Neill, a boy who was born missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs so he had to learn to live with prosthetic legs developed by Microsoft.
The ad struck some similar notes with Toyota's Camry ad, which featured Paralympian Amy Purdy, who also has prosthetic legs snowboarding and dancing set to a speech by Muhammad Ali that ends "I'll show you how great I am."
Some serious ads bordered on sober. Nissan returned to the Super Bowl after 18 years with an ad featuring the story line of an up-and-coming race driver and his wife struggling to balance
work and raising their son. In a jarring detail that many on social media pointed out, the ad was set to "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin, who was killed in a car crash.
And a Nationwide ad showed a boy riding a school bus and lamenting he'll never learn to fly, or travel the world with his best friend, or even grow up, because he died in an accident. The ad was aimed at stopping preventable childhood accidents, but Charles Taylor, marketing professor at the Villanova School of Business in Pennsylvania, said the ad received the most negative response from his ad viewing panel.
"It's just playing with fire focusing on an adolescents'
death in the context of the Super Bowl," he said.
Other advertisers tried to implore people to do positive things.
POSITIVE BUT SERIOUS
In apparent commentary on how heavily food companies market to Americans, Weight Watchers' Super Bowl debut ad showed pizza, and doughnuts in large portions with an ominous voiceover saying "You gotta eat, right?" A tagline said Weight Watchers can help members take control.
But it didn't resonate with all viewers, many of whom were at Super Bowl parties eating snacks.
"Some people are saying it made them want to eat more than anything," said Villano-
va's Taylor.
Meanwhile, fast food chain McDonald's announced it will let random customers pay for their food with acts of goodwill, such as calling their moms and telling them they love them as part of a Valentine's Day promotion that will start Monday.
HUMOR IN BETWEEN
Not all ads were serious, though. Nationwide's other ad showed "Mindy Project" star Mindy Kaling walking around New York believing she is invisible and doing scandalous acts, including sitting naked in Central Park and going through a car wash. Then she tries to kiss Matt Damon but he can see her. The idea is Nationwide doesn't treat customers like
they're invisible.
Naomi Zikmund-Fisher, a psychotherapist watching the game in Ann Arbor, Mich., said the ad appealed to her.
"It sucked you in as a plot and then ruined it for her," she said.
Another ad scored early. Chevrolet's spot before kickoff appeared to be a live game feed that turned into static and a blank screen, shocking some viewers. Chevrolet used the trick to show that its Colorado truck has 4G LTE Wi Fi, allowing for live game streaming in the truck.
"That one got all of our attention," said Kirin Jessel, who watched the game with co-workers in Oakland, Calif. "We were thinking 'Oh my God, what's happening.'"

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am an English major, a senior, and in Navy ROTC. Last semester, I received my best grades in four years while taking 18 hours. I was a company commander, worked 20-
25 hours a week, and got married to my best friend over Thanksgiving Break, with my siblings and Naval comrades beside us. While for some, it is a bad idea to get married in college, you should see the number of married, strong students. I married my husband Daniel last semester and the stress of coping with wedding
planning and grades made our relationship stronger. We realized that life was not going to be all fun and games and that we would argue, but we also knew that we were preparing ourselves for a better future by realizing these important factors now. You see, the day after graduation I will commission into
the Navy. And Dan?
He is willing to pack up everything we own and move to wherever the Navy tells us to go, and then he'll get his degree.
Because we decided to get married during school, we will simply continue our life after school. If someone is willing to forfeit their education to get married
and then gives up on that marriage, they can go flip burgers until they get a clue. Most of my family members were married during their collegiate years and their marriages are still going strong, five, fifteen, and fifty years later.
There's a higher chance for divorce, as most risks for under 21. Fight for it.
Proposed concealed carry bill dangerous
BEST
Matthew Clough @mcloughsofly
G un control has been a subject of intense
debate across the nation as a whole and particularly in Kansas. Recent developments in the state legislature are only heightening the controversy. On Jan. 21, a bill introduced by 26 of Kansas' 40 Senate members would allow individuals to carry concealed firearms without a permit.
The lead sponsor of the proposed bill is Majority Leader Terry Bruce. He claims the policy advances
than arguing that the alleviation of concealed carry restrictions is next on the agenda, the Kansas Senate needs to re-evaluate the effects of its lax regulations. The Senate members' proposed bill is a clear example of their insistence on adhering to an outdated tradition. It's a pathetic excuse for sufficiently performing their jobs. If anything, already relaxed gun rights need to be tightened to preserve the safety of Kansans.
Many would argue the lack of concealed carry restrictions is beneficial for self-defense purposes, but this reasoning is backwards. By allowing more individuals to carry firearms, particularly those who have criminal records or are mentally unstable,
"BY ALLOWING MORE INDIVIDUALS TO CARRY FIREARMS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS OR ARE MENTALLY UNSTABLE, THE CHANCES OF WEAPONS BEING MISUSED COULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY."
current laws on gun rights since Kansans are already allowed to openly carry firearms without a permit. According to Bruce, Kansas has steadily loosened its concealed carry standards over the past 10 years or so, and this is the next step in the process.
There are several flaws in his reasoning. Rather
the chances of weapons being misused could increase significantly. If individuals choose to concealed carry their firearm, they should still be required to obtain a permit.
Allowing concealed carry of weapons without a permit could create a tense, dangerous environment for citizens. The legislation eliminates the requirement
of background checks on individuals, meaning anyone, including convicted criminals, could lawfully carry a firearm. The bill would also eliminate the necessity of gun safety training which is a current requirement for individuals seeking a permit. Neglecting to enforce such safety measures means that even those unfit to carry a weapon would have the freedom to do so. This is a risk our state simply cannot afford to take.
Many critics of the proposed bill, such as the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, are afraid it represents a regression in our state's progress, and rightly so. Although most people who elect to carry a concealed weapon would do so in a responsible manner, the risk that someone dangerous could obtain a weapon is too great to dispose of all concealed carry regulations. Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau views this legislation as the first step in turning Kansas into something like the "wild west." Whether this evaluation is accurate, allowing concealed carry without a permit is a step in the wrong direction for Kansas.
If it passes, such legislation would only be applicable to the state of Kansas, and individuals seeking to carry a concealed firearm in other states would still need a permit.

PRESIDENT
State Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-N.H., speaks in favor of a bill during a public hearing on a bill that would allow anyone in New Hampshire to carry a concealed weapon without a license. The Kansas Legislature is hearing a similar bill in Topeka.

What's the best (and not creepy) way to approach a girl you have a crush on in class? #askanissa

@anissafritz
I am really glad you submitted this question. I can only imagine how many other people on campus are thanking you for stepping up and finally trying to get an answer to this question, a question that has probably been around since men and women started having class together.
First off, let me emphasize the "no staring" rule. This rule goes as follows: Don't stare at her.
This is one of many "creepy" ways to get a girl's attention.

Another thing to take heed of are her social media accounts. Looking her up on Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook is completely permissible. It also helps you discover whether she is in a relationship. If she is, then stop right there. But if she isn't, continue your quest. If your heart desires, you can even hit the follow button. But do not, and I repeat, do not slide into her DMs. If you message her before speaking to her in person the first thing that will most likely go through her head is, "Wait, why can't he just talk to me in class?" It comes off as cowardly, and most girls don't like that quality in a
Now that I have gone over some of the "don'ts," let me tell you what you should do.
partner.
Talk to her. I know, it's way harder than it sounds but there is a strategy to this. Pick up on hints or things she may like. If the class isn't very chatty and you can't get any insight that way, refer back to her social media account(s). Maybe you both share the same love for "The Office" or have a corgi obsession. Either way, start up a conversation. Even if it's just a few words, it's a start.
Scared of totally messing up by saying the wrong thing? Don't be. Women are well aware of how awkward it can be to approach us. We applaud the effort. Speaking for myself, if I see a guy struggling for words or coming up to me and saying, "Hi, nice eyelashes" (because that has happened to me before), I laugh and then thank him while asking how his day is going.
Also, girls love compliments. A guy commented on my eyelashes and even though it wasn't conventional, his comment clearly stuck with me because I'm writing about it now.
Most girls love to talk, so chat her up. If you think of something clever, that's great. But even if you stumble on words or make random comments like, "Yeah this class is early, am I right?" it's better than staring at the back of her head for a whole semester. Girls are like spiders. Even though they may seem intimidating, they're probably more scared of you than you are of them.

TRENDING Snapchat update sends girlfriends into panic
Cheaters around the world revealed with freedom Jan. 27, thanks to Snapchat's latest update, which eliminated the "Best Friends" feature. Users are now able to interact with whoever they want via Snapchat at their discretion, and many users, namely girlfriends, are not happy about it.
Many of you are probably familiar with the "Best Friends" feature. Beneath each of your friends' names was their Snapchat score (a number representing the total number of snaps they had sent and received) and a list of the top three people they had been interacting with.
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UDK
With this feature gone, you can't stalk your boyfriend, girlfriend, friends or siblings by checking up on who they've been snapping. Controversy over the update sparked on Twitter.
"So it's clear a male made the last snapchat update," @BiancaeRose94 tweeted.
"The new snapchat update is awful. Everyone knows half the fun is lurking other people's best friends," @Shay_Kulling12 tweeted.
With such an outcry against taking away the "Best Friends" feature, Snapchat announced it will be bringing it back.
"We'll bring back BFs soon. A few higher-profile friends wanted to keep their usernames private — we'll come up with a better way to do that," Snapchat CEO Evan Spiege tweeted Jan. 27.
The update also included several uncontroversial, aesthetic changes and the addition of the "Discover" feature, which is an advertising platform for companies like CNN, Cosmopolitan, ESPN and more. Some may see Snapchat's shift from a strictly social media app as a sellout, while others welcome the evolution.
The future adjustments may not be in Snapchat's best interest though. The recent change relieved much of the pressure to maintain a socially acceptable "Best Friends" list and removed the element of scandal. Snapchat is one of the only social media platforms which lacks a profile the only information presented about you besides your username was your "Best Friends" and snap score. The "Best Friends" feature, for many, was an indication of popularity, which is exactly what makes us addicted to our online identities. Snapchat stalkers could try to look at this as a blessing in disguise. Keeping tabs on your friends can be exhausting and borderline unhealthy, which brings up the question: Was Snapchat trying to do us all a huge favor after all?

Circus school celebrates 1-year anniversary
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingly
The bright blue, red and teal silks hanging from the ceiling create a stark contrast against the lime green walls. The purple floor mats complement the whimsical setting, and trapezes and aerial hoops decorate the walls and ceiling. The entire facility screams circus, which is fitting for a school that teaches its students to twirl midair and walk on a trapeze.
BELLE MORINI
Teacher and owner of The Last Carvnial, Sihka Ann Destroy, a St. Louis-native suspends herself in air with the silks, explaining to her students how to twirl elegantly. She takes her time describing where the silks should be on the body during drops, even purposely tangling herself in the silks to show the best way to get out of tricky situation.
Willow Sapp, 10, practices her aerial silks routine for her mother and instructor, Sihka Ann Destroy at The Last Carnival.

strow at The Last Carnival
SYLVAN MITCHELL Silks student
Destroy opened The Last Carnival, 315 N. Second St., last February. With her business booming only a year after its opening, some would say she finally found her calling.
"It's a really positive environment here. And everyone ... cheers you on and there's this amazing feeling that you've just accomplished something."
here are like, 'Oh my God, you've been talking about this since you were a teenager, either starting a circus or running away with a circus,' "she said.
Destroy said her daughter, Willow, was an inspiration behind the business. When she first looked into aerial classes for her daughter, Destroy said the classes were too expensive to consider, unlike the class she now offers at her school.
Destroy said one of her
Although she only had seven students and two classes in the beginning, now she offers five kids classes and 15 adult classes. Facing the first anniversary for the school, Destroy said she's beyond thrilled at what she's accomplished and what is to come.
"I've seen this grow so much," Destroy said. "The first class we started with was silks, and it was really slow-going. It was like two classes a week and a total of seven students, one was my daughter."
"Two were doing synchronized silks on either side of the stage, there were four 10-year-olds on one trapeze bar, flipping up doing partner acrobatics in the air," she said. "I think it was not at all what people were expecting. It was like a full-blown circus show. Ever since then, we've had classes just explode."
The Last Carnival saw a boom in its business after a performance at the Granada in December. Destroy said people probably came expecting something resembling a school recital. Then students took the stage.
favorite classes is the kids' class because of the interactions she gets to observe.
"When we did our performance, there was a little boy who did a flip over a railing and his sister tried to do it," Destroy said. "He says, 'You shouldn't do that. I'm a trained acrobat. I know what I'm doing.' I was like, 'Oh that is so adorable.'"
Considering the school has only been open for about a year, Destroy said she was confident more people would be drawn in to The Last Carnival because her classes offer a fun and exciting alternative to the traditional gym. Destroy said the most negative feedback she's received is that people's muscles are more sore than they expected or they didn't realize how much they were working out because they were having fun.
"It's a really positive environment here," said silks student Sylvan Mitchell, a Lawrence High School student from Vinland. "And everyone — unlike in a gym setting at a school or whatnot, where it's kind of competitive — everyone cheers you on and there's this amazing feeling that you've just accomplished something. You're doing all these amazing, cool things, and it's just you and the silk."
Mitchell said she got interested in silks aerial art after watching online videos. She started looking for classes in Kansas City and was surprised to see some being offered in Lawrence. Mitchell said the class is the best workout she's ever had and the atmosphere is open and inviting.
"Sihka is one of the coolest instructors in the world."
Mitchell said. "She's very encouraging. If you don't understand something, she'll always find a way to help you understand. She's extremely positive; she's never negative."
Optimistic for the future, Destroy plans to expand further and hopes to put on more shows. Currently, she's organizing a show at the Granada on May 3 based on mythological creatures. She also said she'd like to find a larger building for more classes to go on at once and have multiple levels for ceiling space.
"We've had a lot of new students come in here, and it is really exciting to see so many people into this," Destroy said. "I knew it was something a lot of people would love and really enjoy."

Hembree electrifies crowd with vibrant '80s pop feel

Garrett Childers, the lead singer of Hembree, performs Saturday at the Granada. The band, formerly known as Quiet Corral, hails from Kansas City. It just released a new EP titled "New Oasis."
While the rain continued to fall Saturday night, local music fans were staying dry inside the Granada Theater, where Kansas City-based band Hembrey performed.
The band was formerly known as Quiet Corral before its lead singer left the band in 2013. The band gained a few new members and now performs under the name Hembree. Members include: James Allen Barnes, Garrett Childers, Isaac Flynn, Matthew Green and Eric Davis.
In January, Hembree released its debut six-song EP "New Oasis." The EP is available on iTunes and Spotify.
colored stage lights and videos playing on screen behind the band. Some songs were more upbeat, while some carried a slower tempo with a funky feel.
During Saturday night's show, the band performed several songs off its new EP. The songs had an '80s pop feel, accompanied by multiple
"Their music is definitely influenced by the '80s dance style which resulted in a really fun sound that engaged the audience well," said Emily Wiebe, a senior from Colville, Wash. "I did think their performance was a little too choreographed and they could have been more fun on stage."
Toward the end of the show, Hembree covered The Jackson Five, much to the crowd's delight.
It seemed everyone knew all of the words and sang along loudly to the famous "I Want You Back." Many high notes were hit by both the band and the fans as well. The band also covered "Dare" by Gorillaz, another song recognizable to the crowd.
Childers, the lead singer, addressed the crowd as "friends," a true statement as many of the crowd knew the band members personally or from their earlier days as Quiet Corral. A loud cheer came from the crowd as Childers thanked Barnes, the drummer, who produced the
band's new EP.
After a short set of music, Hembree came back out for its encore. A spotlight appeared in the crowd on former band member Zach Mehl, who joined the band on stage for a song. The band high-fived several people as its made its way off the stage and away
from a cheering crowd.
Overall, the show was laid back and the music and lyrics were entertaining.
If you missed out on the show, Hembree will be playing at recordBar in Kansas City, Mo., on Feb. 21.

A Kansan perspective on Sundance Film Festival
ANDREW HOSKINS
@KansanNews
One of the most enjoyable parts of the Sundance Film Festival is the wild scramble around the Salt Lake City area to chase down the films you want to see. The festival is so spread out that each screening you attend has its own mini-adventure surrounding it, complete with a new crowd, a slightly different vibe and a fresh angle on one of the nation's most scenic mountain regions. Below is a brief recount of the films I saw and my experiences from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1 — the last four days of the festival.
YARROW THEATRE
PARK CITY
SUNDANCE SCREENING ROOM, NEAR PROVO
The first film I saw was called "Cloro," the first feature film for Italian director Lamberto Sanfelice. It follows the story of Jenny, a teenaged synchronized swimmer who is forced to put her swimming career on hold and move to a new part of Italy to care for her depressed father and younger brother after her mother dies. Sara Serraiocco, the up-and-coming actress who plays Jenny, gives a powerful performance as a young woman forced to face incredibly difficult circumstances, yet hold on to her dreams. 2/4 STARS
After spending most of my day in Park City and expecting to have time to walk to my second movie, I was informed by who I think was a Sundance box office employee that my next film, "Christmas. Again," was actually about 45 minutes away. After a poorly lit drive through the mountains, I
made it to the Sundance Resort in time to see a film from director Charles Poekel. The film is about a young man named Noel who operates a Christmas tree stand in Brooklyn, N.Y. Noel is heartbroken after a seemingly recent breakup and seeks love among the local women he interacts with while trying not to let despair and loneliness overtake him. 2.5/4 STARS
TEMPLE THEATRE, PARK CITY
I zipped back over to Park City the next morning to watch what turned out to be one of the worst films I've ever seen. "Princess" is an awful film about child abuse that has no artistic merit and deserves no further mention. I highly recommend against seeing it. 0/4 STARS
TEMPLE THEATRE, PARK CITY
After trekking back to Salt Lake City, I saw an excellent film called "Tangerine", which exposes areas of modern day Los Angeles' underbelly that I had no idea existed. Unique, edgy and shot on an iPhone 5S — so I heard — this ended up being one of the best films I saw at the festival. It was directed by Sean Baker. 4/4 STARS
BROADWAY THEATER
SALT LAKE CITY
PEERY'S EGYPTIAN THEATER, OGDEN
Nearly 40 minutes north of Salt Lake, Ogden is home to the famous Peery's Egyptian Theater, which was packed for a screening of "A Walk In The Woods," starring the festival's founder himself, Robert Redford. Based on an autobiographical Bill Bryson book by the same name, it follows the story of the aging author and his friend Katz (Nick Nolte) and
their adventures hiking a portion of the Appalachian trail. Ken Kwapis directs this film. 3/4 STARS
SLC LIBRARY, SALT LAKE CITY
SLC LIBRARY, SALT LAKE CITY
The next morning I made the drive to the SLC library, an enormous and impressive structure, to see "6 Desires: DH Lawrence and Sardinia." This was an odd documentary about a crew who goes and traces a journey taken to Sardinia by author DH Lawrence in 1921.
Mark Cousins directs this oddly narrated and slightly confusing film. 2/4 STARS
After initially thinking I received bogus directions from Siri, I finally managed to locate a screening of "99 Homes," which seemed to be in a community college auditorium in a suburban part of town. This film is a very "Wall Street-esque" story about young Andrew Garfield who is lured into the temptingly lucrative world of shady real-estate deals made on foreclosed Florida homes by a mogul played by Michael Shannon. This film, directed by Ramin Bahriani, was very entertaining and I highly recommend it. 3.5/4 STARS
GRAND THEATRE,
SALT LAKE CITY
For the final film the next day I made the trek back to the Sundance Resort to see "71," a very gritty drama about a British soldier who gets trapped in an unfriendly part of Belfast during the tension between the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Yann Demange directs this tense, bloody and very entertaining film. 3/4 STARS

KANSAS TIPOFF

@RealTairSheadie
AT A GLANCE
Kansas has won its past four games after losing to Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, on Jan. 17. The layhaways are averaging 72 points per game this season and has a +7.6 scoring margin. This young Kansas team, which starts five underclassmen, has been one of two halves. Coach Bill Self compared this team to Sybil, because his team has played well in the first half, but has been outscored in the second half against Kansas State and TCU.

Can Kansas slow Iowa State in transition?
PLAYER TO WATCH
Greene, who scored 11 points in 14 minutes against Kansas State, has become the three-point assassin. The sophomore is averaging 11 points in his past four games, and has made 14 three-pointers during those four games. Greene is second on the team with 27 three-pointers and is shooting 50 percent from three this season.
KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE FEB.2,8 P.M., LAWRENCE, KAN.
On Jan. 17, the last time Kansas and Iowa State met, the Cyclones scored 31 of their 86 points in transition compared with the Jayhawks' 19 points. Iowa State had 24 transition plays with a total of 19 transition field goal attempts. If the Jayhawks can slow the Cyclones offense down, Kansas can control the game.

PROJECTED STARTERS
A.
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
The sophomore has changed his game this season. Selden has shot 81 three-pointers, making 30 of them, leading the team. Selden, who's averaging nine points per game, stays on the court because he's a strong defensive presence, swatting four balls against Kansas State, and he's a solid post passer, averaging three assists per game.
★★★☆
PARKER
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard
Mason is the best Kansas player on both sides of the court. He's second in scoring, averaging 12.7 points per game. It's hard to keep Mason off the court because he also leads the team with 26 steals. Ever since Devonte' Graham returned from injury, Mason still averages 33 minutes per game. Mason and Graham played 18 minutes together Saturday.
★★★★
JOHN ABBOTT
Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard
Oubre will start his 12th straight game, but has struggled the past two games due to the flu. In those two games, Oubre averaged only four points. In Big 12 play, the freshman has averaged 16 points and six rebounds per game. Oubre is known for his long arms on defense and is second on the team with more than one steal per game.
★★★★☆
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Self said the offense runs through Ellis because the team is talented enough to run Self's traditional high-low offense. Ellis had a double-double in the first half against Kansas State, the worst rebounding team in the Big 12, but was held to only one field goal and two rebounds in the second half. Kansas' best offensive threat needs to be consistent.
★★★★★
NO.15 IOWA STATE
Jamari Traylor, junior, forward
Traylor has transformed his identity into the hustle man on the team, and Traylor said he prides himself on that image. The hustle play against Texas is still coach Self's favorite play and said to be the best play Self has ever seen. Traaylor averages five points and four rebounds per game.
★★★☆☆
PROJECTED STARTERS
Equipped with a smooth stroke, and always a threat to drive and dish. Long presents a tough matchup on the perimeter. Long is 15th in the conference in scoring (11.7) and third in three-pointers made (2.6). But since his 20-point outburst in the win against Kansas on Jan. 17, he has been spotty, averaging 6.5 points on 7-of-21 shooting.
Naz Long, junior, guard
N. MUHAMMAD ABU MUSA
★★★★☆
Bryce Dejean-Jones, senior, guard
Dejean-Jones enters Monday's game averaging 12.8 points, good for eighth in the Big 12, including 18 against Texas. He can be careless with the basketball at times, averaging 2.0 turnovers per game. Dejean-Jones went for 12 points in the win against Kansas in 31 minutes of playing time.
★★★☆
PETER TANLEY
Monte Morris, sophomore, guard
Just a second-year player, Morris has established himself as one of the league's premier facilitators. His 5.7 assists per game and 5.1 assist-to-turnover ratio leads the conference. Over the course of the season, Morris has averaged 11.1 points per game, but that number has risen over the past five, in which he's averaged 14.2, including 20 points in the loss to Texas Tech.
★★★★☆
Dustin Hogue, senior, forward
Dustin Hogue's efficiency tends to get lost in the stat sheet to more explosive Cyclone players such as Long and Niang, but Hoiberg is well aware and rewards his senior handsomely in the form of playing time. The forward leads the Big 12 with a 59 percent field-goal percentage and brings down 5.1 boards per game. Hogue went for 14 points against the Jayhawks in January on 5-of-7 shooting, adding six rebounds.
★★★☆☆
10
Georges Niang, junior, forward
The fourth-most prolific scorer in the Big 12 (15.2 per game), Georges Niang can beat you from several spots on the floor. His ferocious in the low-post, he can beat you off the dribble and another European-style facet to his game. He shoots nearly 40 percent from behind the arc. Not to mention, when doubled down low and the opponent thinks he has got him stopped, think again.

AT A GLANCE
lowa State is a stubbed-toe against Texas Tech away from keeping pace with the 10-straight champs. At times, the Cyclones looked unchallenged in the 86-81 win against then-No. 9 Kansas. However, all four of Iowa State's losses this season have come away from the magical confines of Hilion Coliseum, as the Cyclones enter Allen Fieldhouse, where they haven't won since 2005.
PLAYER TO WATCH
NBA
Jameel McKay, junior, forward
The 6-foot-9 forward came off the bench for the Cyclones a few weeks ago and ran past Jayhawk defenders in transition. He finished the night with three blocks and 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting.
QUESTION MARK
Can Kansas slow Iowa State in transition?
Kansas' loss to Iowa State on Jan. 17 was quite conceivably a result of poor transition defense. The Cyclones outdid the Jayhawks 21-10 in fast-break points. But strategically speaking, look for Kansas to send an extra man back after missed shots to thwart the Iowa State counter-attack.

Prediction: Kansas 82 Iowa State 79
Kansas doesn't avenge the January loss. On Monday night, this could not be more true. A win at home against the Cyclones would propel Kansas into a different stratosphere within the Big 12, separating itself from the pack sans two-loss West Virginia. Kansas hasn't lost since the trip to Ames.

Brady rallies Patriots to 28-24 Super Bowl win
BARRY WILNER Associated Press
Associated Press
New England Patriots outside linebacker Jonathan Casillas carries the Vince Lombardi Trophy as he celebrates after the Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL Super Bowl XLIX football game Sunday. MATT ROUREK/EASYASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Tom Brady and the Patriots made this Super Bowl all about football, not footballs.
CHAMPIONS 52
MATT ROURKE/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clutch football, spiced by a sensational fourth-quarter rally and a goal-line, gamesaving interception.
The record-setting Brady threw for four touchdowns, including a 3-yarder to Julian Edelman with 2:02 remaining Sunday night as New England rallied from a 10-point deficit to win its fourth Super Bowl in the Brady-Bill Belichick era, 28-24 against Seattle.
But the Patriots (15-4) had to survive a last-ditch drive by the Seahawks (14-5), who got to the 1, helped by a spectacular juggling catch by Jermaine Kearse. Rookie Malcolm Butler stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette and picked off Russell Wilson's off-target pass to complete one of the wildest Super Bowl finishes.
"It wasn't the way we drew it up," said Brady, who won his third Super Bowl MVP award.
Brady leaped for joy on the Patriots sideline after Butler's interception.
Brady surpassed Joe Montana's mark of 11 Super Bowl touchdown passes with a 5-yarder to Danny Amendola to bring the Patriots within three points.
Seattle, seeking to become the first repeat NFL champion
since New England a decade ago, was outplayed in the first half, yet tied at 14. The Seahawks scored the only 10 points of the third period, but the NFL-leading defense couldn't slow the brilliant Brady when it counted most.
It didn't matter how much air was in the balls, Brady was unstoppable when the pressure was strongest. While pushing aside the controversy over air pressure in the footballs stemming from the AFC title game, the Patriots toyed with Seattle in the final 12 minutes.
Seattle didn't quit — it never does — and Kearse's 33-yard catch with 1:06 remaining got it to the 5. Marshawn Lynch rushed for 4 yards, then backup cornerback Butler, who was victimized on Kearse's reception, made the biggest play of his first NFL season with 20 seconds remaining.
"I just had a vision that I was going to make a big play and it came true," said Butler, an undrafted rookie from West Alabama. "I'm just blessed. I can't explain it right now. It's crazy."
But thanks to superstar Brady and the obscure Butler, they are champions again.
Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin was ejected in the final seconds for instigating a near-brawl, delaying the celebration for the Patriots.
Brady now has equaled Montana with four Lombardi Trophies and three Super Bowl MVPs.
He stands alone with 13 Super Bowl touchdown passes.
Soon they were mobbing one another on the same field where their 2007 unbeaten season was ruined in the Super Bowl by the Giants. They also fell to the Giants for the 2011
title.
He was 37 for 50 for 328 yards against the NFL's top-ranked defense.
He also was picked off twice. Brady had been intercepted a total of two times in his previous five Super Bowls.
Yet, he picked apart the Seahawks on drives of 68 and 64 yards, solidifying his legacy
as one of the greats of the game.
His heroics offset those of Chris Matthews, one of Seattle's least-used players before the postseason. Matthews recovered the onside kick that helped the Seahawks beat Green Bay in overtime for the NFC
crown, and had a breakout performance Sunday.
+
Having never caught a pass in the NFL, Matthews grabbed four for 109 yards and a touchdown. Lynch ran for 102 yards, but didn't get the ball at the 1 on the decisive play — a decision the Seahawks will rue.
Mason, Graham continue to be key for Jayhawk offense
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChesenKIL
@SChasenKU
"He has no idea how big this free throw is."
With less than 25 seconds to go, ESPN's Fran Fraschilla jokingly uttered those words, as Frank Mason III stepped up to the free-throw line. Mason needed to be perfect in order to extend his streak of 10-point games to 18.
Allen Fieldhouse fell as silent as it had been all year, and it was apparent that just about everyone in the crowd knew the "significance" of the following shots, regardless if it actually mattered to anyone on the court.
"I don't ever think like that, because those [types of things] aren't records to me," coach Bill Self said of
Mason's double-digit scoring streak. "He's pretty good though."
Mason missed a couple of late free throws against TCU, so there was certainly no guarantee he was going to make both shots. Regardless, the first free throw hit the back of the rim and dropped; the second one was just about perfect.
After being held scoreless in the first 27 minutes of the game, the sophomore from Petersburg, Va., rattled off 10 points in quick succession to extend the streak, as Kansas would go on to defeat its instate rival by a final score of 68-57, moving to 7-1 in the Big 12.
This year, the improved play of Kansas at the point guard position has been a
big part of why the Jayhawks have been able to dominate the Big 12 competition early on. In the five conference games the Jayhawks have played against ranked teams, Mason has averaged 14 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, but as was noted by Kansas shooting guard sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. after the game, Mason isn't doing it all alone.
In the game against Kansas State, Graham wasn't necessarily a huge factor with his scoring, nor did he rack up an especially notable assist total. However, Graham did all of the little things the team needed, especially given the way Kansas State was trying to deny Kansas the opportunity to get out in transition.
Selden, of course, was referring to the fact that while Mason does start for the Jayhawks, his backup, freshman Devonte' Graham, is a very capable player in his own right. In conference play, Graham has racked up a ridiculous 8 assist-to-
"We've got two starting point guards," Selden said. "One starts, one doesn't."
"[When we] didn't have two ball handlers in the game, they'd take Mason away immediately," Self said. "[Then] it's just a walk-up situation, [and] they did a really good job with that."
With Graham in the game alongside Mason, the floor seemed to open up for the
turnover ratio, which leads the team by a significant margin.
team. In fact, sophomore Brannen Greene had all of his made three-point field goals occur with Mason and Graham on the floor, while individually, the two point guards both finished tied for third to the team with a plus/minus rating of +7.
Bruce Weber, the Kansas State coach, praised the two guards, especially Mason, who was the first player mentioned by the coach in the postgame press conference. Weber talked about what he called the "evolution" of Mason, which is something that has really helped out the Jayhawks this year, as they once again sit in first place in the Big 12.
The efficient play of Mason and Graham has allowed the team to cover for the fact that
it may not be as physically gifted as some of the Kansas teams from previous years, at least according to Self.
"Without being negative, we don't have the same talent level that we've had in the past," Self said. "I'm really proud of us though, [especially] given that we're 18-3."
Next up for the team is a tough contest against the Iowa State Cyclones, who knocked off the Jayhawks in the teams' first meeting. In the prior contest, Mason and Graham combined for 31 points and seven assists, and they'll need to be on their game in order for Kansas to get the victory this time around.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1st half
With Kansas already on a 7-1 run, Wayne Selden Jr. rejected Marcus Foster on one end before sprinting down the court and draining a three, putting the Jayhawks up 11. The Jayhawks weren't letting up either, as they'd score the game's next two baskets.
2nd half
GAME TO REMEMBER
After Selden scored to put the Jayhawks up 14, the Jayhawks got another opportunity in transition, as Perry Ellis threw the ball up the court to Frank Mason III, who finished off the break with a layup. Each time Kansas State started to cut into the deficit, Kansas was able to respond, and unlike the TCU game, this contest was never in doubt.
PETER HENRY
Wayne Selden Jr. was the most complete player for the Jayhawks against the Wildcats, scoring 14 points, while adding four blocks, two rebounds and two assists. Selden also did a tremendous job defending Marcus Foster, who needed 23 shooting possessions to score 19 points (18 FGA). After Selden, Perry Ellis and Kelly Oubre Jr. both had stretches where they were really effective; but overall, it was Selden who led the Jayhawks to victory, especially in the second half, when the margin started to narrow.
GAME TO FORGET
PETER AUGUSTINE
Cliff Alexander had a pretty forgetful game, as he was held scoreless in 19 minutes of action. Kansas State coach Bruce Weber noted that the team tried to go at Alexander when he was in the game, and Kansas coach Bill Self agreed, adding that Alexander looked like he was "a little off."
UNSUNG HERO
Once again, Brannen Greene was the spark of the bench for the Jayhawks, scoring 11 points in just 14 minutes of game time. The sophomore made three of his four three-point attempts, and after the game Self raved about his performance. Self said Greene "really bailed us out," while adding that he was one of the best shooters he'd seen in his time at the University of Kansas.

COMMENTARY Jayhawks play best when they are having fun
On the court, the lajhawks showed more energy than usual. Self said he's encouraged the team to show personality on the court and said he thinks the more fun the players have, the better the team will play.
For instance, the Jayhawks came out attacking as soon as the ball was tipped. Junior forward Perry Ellis scored six of Kansas' first 10 points, which helped give Kansas the early 10-4 lead. Ellis said he contributed the early lead to the team having both energy and fun.
Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
"We have a team of personalities :that if Perry [Ellis] said he has been fun; then that's great because no one else would know it because he doesn't smile a lot," Self said. "I want them to have fun. When you have fun, you have more energy."
From an early age, players have always been told to have fun while playing sports. However, when it comes to Kansas men's basketball, the fun notion usually gets thrown out the window.
When Self looks onto the court, he said he can't notice if the team is having fun because most of the team is "stone-faced."
Kansas coach Bill Self could have said all he wanted about the Jayhawks taking a step in the right direction after the 68-57 win against rival Kansas State, but this win showed the team is having more fun on the court.
"That's the whole deal," Self said. "When you look at our team, if we're turned up, we're playing right."
Edited by Lane Cofas
The reason this three-letter word is important to this Kansas team is because earlier this season, the team looked deflated, and the court looked like a no-fun zone.
At the end of that play, Graham received a technical for having too much fun. Graham was trash talking Kansas State guard Marcus Foster, and although Self said Graham deserved the technical, there wasn't any poor sportsmanship involved.
"Pun is always the key, and coach has always emphasized on playing with energy and having fun," Ellis said. "If you're having fun, good things happen from that. We definitely have to continue to focus on that."
"I don't know my strength sometimes," Selden said. "I got him in the throat, and I felt pretty bad about it."

Every time someone scored, the bench went nuts. On one possession, sophomore guard Brannen Greene had a pretty pass to freshman guard Devonte' Graham, who finished with an uncontested layup. Sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. went so crazy on the bench that when Greene ran by the bench, Selden accidentally hit Greene in the throat. Selden said he tried to slap him in the chest.

The first installment of the 2015 Sunflower Showdown was decided early in the first half. The Jayhawks silenced the Wildcats' comeback attempts all afternoon, eventually defeating them, 68-57.
No. 9 Kansas (18-3, 7-1) came out of the gate scorching hot against its in-state rival. By the second media timeout, the jayhawks had an 11-point lead while shooting 64 percent from the field and 40 percent from behind the three-point line.

Kansas State (12-10, 5-4) struggled from the floor early, converting only one field goal through the first eight minutes of play. The Wildcats shot 17 percent on 6-of-35 from the field in the first half and finished the game shooting 33 percent from the field.

In the first half, junior forward Perry Ellis had one of his strongest halves of the season. He was an absolute monster down low, dominating both offensively and on the boards, posting a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the period.
"It's always a fun game playing against them [the Wildcats]," Ellis said. "I was aggressive early and grabbed a lot of rebounds."

The Jayhawks took a 33-17 lead into the half with one of their most productive players
Mason struggled to find open shots down the stretch, shooting only 3-for-12 from the floor. But with 22 seconds left on the clock, Mason sunk his third and fourth free throws of the contest to reach 10 points and extend his streak to 18 games.
"Brannen [Greene] kind of bailed us out," Self said. "He was able to make four shots outside of 17 feet when we didn't run good offense. He jumps up and shoots it as good as anyone we've ever had."
While Ellis had trouble getting going in the second half — finishing with 16 points and 12 boards — his strong play early in the game helped Kansas get ahead and stay ahead the rest of the game.
Just as Kansas State started chipping away at Kansas' 17-point lead, sophomore guard Branney Greene stepped up like he has all season. With three-point field goals on consecutive possessions and an assist to freshman guard Devonte' Graham, Greene' extended the Jayhawk lead back to 16. Greene finished with 11 points
"We had a feeling it was going to be his [Ellis] night," freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. said. "It was against his in-state rival and he came up big for us."
After a slow start in the first half, sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. was Kansas' most productive scorer in the second. Whenever the Wildcats seemed to be making a run at the Jayhawks' lead, Selden was there to knock down an open jumper. Selden finished with 14 points, 10 coming in the second half, and four blocks on the defensive end.

'WE'LL SEE HOW IT WORKS'
Administrators want to increase international students to 15 percent of KU students
EMILY DONOVAN
@emdons
More international students than ever may attend the University of Kansas over the next few years, thanks to a new program, but some details about how that will affect those students and campus are not clear yet.
The program is designed to help international students adjust to student life. After a year studying English in the Applied English Center (AEC) and earning about 30 credit hours in general education, AAP students are expected to become regular KU sophomores.
The AAP may be small now, but Academic Affairs Senior Vice Provost Sara Rosen said she expects it to grow to 600 to 800 students. This would help bring the University's total number of international students up from this fall's record high of 9.3 percent of the student body to 15 or 16 percent.
This semester, 51 new international students recruited by Shorelight Education LLC arrived on campus for the University's Academic Accelerator Program (AAP).
Charles Olcese, International Student Services (ISS) direc
tor, said that 15 percent international student goal is "a big jump"
"You're changing the culture really quickly there," he said.
'WE'RE REALLY ON THE SAME DATE AS OTHER INSTITUTIONS'
PAPE AS A FOLLOWING INSTITUTIONS Partnering with Shorelight is all part of the plan to support enrollment, Rosen said.
"We're not doing something that is unusual," said AAP Interim Academic Director Antha Cotten-Spreckelmeyer. "We're really on the same page as other institutions."
Shorelight also has partnerships for programs similar to the University's AAP with Florida International University, University of Central Florida and Bath Spa University.
The University is following the national trend of increasing international students. A record high of 886,052 international students studied in the United States last academic year, according to the Institute of International Education's 2014 report. Other U.S. universities have announced international recruitment goals similar to the University's.
Supporting enrollment is crucial because in-state enrollment has been dropping.
according to data from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Kansas has a limited market of potential students, said Matt Melvin, Enrollment Management vice provost. The priority focus of recruiting more out-of-state domestic and international students has been to bring enrollment numbers back up.
"Within that, we've been fortunate enough to increase our diversity — racial, ethnic, geographic," Melvin said. "It's a market development strategy accompanied with diversity."
Recruiting more international students can also be profitable. The University's 2,283 international students tend to pay more out of pocket than in-state or out-of-state domestic students do.
For Fall 2014 first-time freshmen, Kansas residents pay $318.25 per credit hour. Out-of-state domestic students and international students both pay $827.70 per credit hour. However, international students don't qualify for U.S. government need-based aid. Additionally, the University's merit-based aid available for

The University hopes to increase the international student population to 15 percent.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
KEY POINTS
1. The University's in-state enrollment is declining.
2. The University is increasing out-of-state and international recruitment to support enrollment numbers. The University wants 15 percent of the student body to be international students.
3. The University and contracted partner Shorelight Education LLC co-created the Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) last year.
4. The AAP currently has 51 new international students this semester. The AAP is expected to enroll 600 to 800 international students in a few years.
5. Some details about the University's relationship with Shorelight are not finalized, and it's not clear how a larger percent of international students will affect those students or campus as a whole.

Sophomores Wilson Hack (left) and Max Soto, both from Lawrence, started Imagineering Youth Camps, a new engineering summer camp which will start in 2017.
Sophomores' startup will shake up engineering summer camp style
Last year, Wilson Hack and Max Soto, both sophomores from Lawrence, started their own company called Imagineering Youth Camps. They're in the midst of creating a fusion of a summer engineering camp and a recreational camp, but Hack and Soto are taking it out of an academic location,

The duo said they hope to have Imagineering camps
ready to roll after they graduate in two years. Hack said they hope to have enrollment open by mid-2016, and launch their first camp in summer of 2017 near San Francisco.
"You're exposed to all the disciplines [of engineering], and you get shorter exposure but you get to do more significant things," Hack said.
For example, Hack said he and Soto can set up all the
code for a robot, minus a few lines, and campers would get to program the last lines to see the robot walk around or pick up objects.
"With engineering, we don't want to say, 'here, build this bridge out of popicle sticks and see how much it can hold', because that's boring." Soto said. "We want to say 'hey,

Student Senate creates scholarship for first-gen students
ALANA FLINN
@Alana_Finn
After a semester of preliminary ideas, Student Senate decided to create a scholarship, Ad Astra per Aspera, for first-generation students who want to pursue a career in public service.
Student Body President Morgan Said said that last year's executive staff moved the funds to KU Endowment and had very early ideas of a scholarship, but nothing came to fulfillment.
"This year, I decided that these dollars shouldn't be sitting here unspent and underutilized, so I thought a scholarship for the student body was the most appropriate way to spend these funds." Said said.
Said hopes this inaugural scholarship will continue from year to year.
"I think it's so important the student senators can see firsthand the students we are
According to the tweet sent out on Monday afternoon by Said at @KUPresident, applications are due on Feb. 27 by 5 p.m. Completed applications can be sent via email to Student Senate Staff Assistant Sabine Jones at sbjones@ku.edu. They also can be dropped off at Student Senate offices, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd., Suite 410.

Applications can be found at studentsenate.ku.edu.
Two scholarships of $2,500 will be awarded and the winners will be introduced to Student Senate on March 11.

international students has decreased, and those funds have instead been focused more toward Office of Study Abroad scholarships, Rosen said.
International Recruitment and Undergraduate Admissions (IRUA) awards 25 to 50 merit-based scholarships to international students each year, some of which are renewable, said Daphne Johnston, IRUA associate director. The University also hosts 260 international students who are sponsored by their home country governments. International students also still qualify for other scholarships, like awards given by individual departments or exchange discounts.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
DO WELL AT KU
Something that makes the University especially attractive is how academically successful KU international students generally are.
"We've got the infrastructure already developed and have had the infrastructure to serve those students well," Melvin said.
KU international students generally have a high retention rate. For Fall 2012 full-time first-time freshmen, 81.1 percent of international students returned to the University after a year. That's a higher retention rate than that year's overall average — 79.9 percent — and much higher than the retention rate for domestic ethnic minority students — 68.8 percent.
"Once they've made a choice to come 5,000 miles to study, they're fairly committed," Olcese said. "It's not a quick trip home and it's a great investment by their family. So they're not going to give up on it. And they tend to be fairly motivated students in the first place."
That retention rate excludes AEC students or students who transferred credit from international universities, but Olcese said it indicates some of international student success.
"As the numbers grow, as
However, as international enrollment increases, Olcese said International Student Services will have to do more to connect students who need help with resources. ISS has only 10 full-time employees to help the University's 2,283 international students with questions about maintaining their immigration status.
with any population, those things become more and more challenging because we're getting a more varied kind of student to come who [isn't] necessarily as fully prepared as they were 10 years ago." Olcese said.
Since the AAP is designed to transition international students into KU academics and culture, AAP Interim Managing Director Todd Fritch said he expects its students will have higher retention and degree completion rates.
"The ultimate success of the program will be primarily based on graduation rates," Fritch said.
USING A PRIVATE COMPANY
Before partnering with Shorelight, the University didn't have resources to expand international recruitment.
The University only has one full-time international recruiter, who is part of IRUA. Shorelight has a network of about 30 full-time employees recruiting international students, in addition to local contract employees, Rosen said.
Until May 2013, international student recruitment was handled by an ad hoc committee of about six members who visited high schools and international fairs in specific countries.
The committee wasn't a good long-term vision because membership and budget was reformed every year. In May 2013, IRUA was established as a standing office, mostly working on admissions and translating applications.
Shorelight has more recruiters than the University could hire or manage, Rosen said. On Feb. 11, 2014, the University signed the contract with Shorelight. Though Shorelight filed an injunction against a Lawrence-Journal World records requests last spring, a redacted copy of the contract was released to The Kansan last semester and can be read on Kansan.com.
"We're still working out how we collaborate with them," Johnston said.
Rosen said she wasn't exactly sure how increasing the number of international students on campus will change the classroom experience for domestic students, but she said she thinks it will be great.
"I think we're going to have to play it out and see how that changes the experience." Rosen said.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT ME;
A DOMESTIC KU STUDENT?
Olcese said the average domestic student probably notices that 9.3 percent of the student body is international.
"But if you were to double that number, it doesn't take long before there's a different feel about things." Olcsee said. "Getting out ahead of that to make that a positive change to make sure people don't feel like they're losing something is the big task ahead of us."
Johnston said international students help the KU community open its eyes to different global perspectives. She thinks breaking down preconceptions about each others' homes is citizenship diplomacy.
However, though global diversity is a benefit of international students, international students aren't the only diversity on campus.
"It's doing something really good for America and the world, not just KU," Johnston said. "That's why I do it."
SARA ROSEN
Senior vice provost
"My hope is that it will be a good experience for all of the students. We'll have to see how it plays out."
That's about normal compared to other U.S. universities. Thirty-one percent of all the international students studying in the United States during the 2013-14 academic year were from China, according to the Institute of International Education's 2014 report.
Unlike for international students, Melvin said there are no exact percentage goals for domestic racial or ethnic minority students.
"We hardly recruit in China," Olcese said. "There are so many people and their economy is so robust right now that
"I've always been uncomfortable with using that 'diversity' term as a major reason for internationalizing a campus because it's just such a catch-all," she said. "I don't think it's the main reason we have international students here."
36 PERCENT OF KU'S INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FROM CHINA
Last semester, 36 percent of the University's international students were from China, according to ISS.
they can afford to (send their students to the United States to study)”
Olceese said a huge benefit of partnering with Shorelight will be using their resources to reach students from countries where the University might not previously have had brand recognition.
Rosen said global diversity goals would be created each year once the AAP was more established but did not say when those goals would be set or take effect.
"I would like to see those goals happen sooner rather than later," Olcese said.
"We know that there's a huge Chinese pipeline right now, but those things shift," Rosen said. "We're expecting that our Shorelight partners will be abreast of the shifts as these things happen."
Last semester, 45 of the 57 AAP students — 79 percent
were from China. Because the contract was signed later in the academic year, last February, Shorelight focused its resources where there were enough potential students to recruit.
Countries of origin information for the 51 Spring 2015 AAP students won't be released until later this semester, but administrators said the class seems more diverse than last semester's.
COMING TOGETHER QUICKLY Some details about the University's relationship with Shorelight aren't finalized.
COMING TOGETHER QUICKLY
"All of the critical elements of the partnership are well-established." Fritch said. "We're now just looking at how do we ensure appropriate allocation of resources as the program begins to grow."
Though the AAP is now in its second semester, the University still hasn't hired a permanent AAP managing director or academic director.
Fritch, the interim managing director, is a Shorelight employee who agreed to stay at the University until a permanent managing director is hired. Rosen said Shorelight hasn't brought a pool of applicants to the University since the summer, and the University is being picky about whom it hires.
Cotten-Spreckelmeyer, a Humanities and Western Civilization professor, accepted the University's offer to serve as interim academic director for one year.
Once the program is mature, Rosen and Fritch expect to have 600 to 800 AAP students.
.
That will affect student housing. Rosen said the University will want to make sure international students have the option to live on-campus, which she said influences plans the University has to build another residence hall near Oliver Hall. Stouffer Place, which houses graduate, non-traditional and some international students, will close this summer.
That will also affect classroom demands. AAP is headquartered in Strong Hall, but Fritch said administrators may need more space as the program expands in the fall.
The University may also create more programs to integrate AAP students into the rest of the student body.
Yuhon Ye, for example, said he wants to make more American friends. A second semester AAP student from Changzhou, China, he watches movies, plays ping-pong and hangs out in dormitory rooms with the Americans who live on his floor in Oliver. His only integrated class first semester, math, wasn't much of an opportunity to make American friends outside of his floor.
The University may also tweak AAP course content and syllabi, especially if integrated classes for second-semester AAP students are too hard.
Ye is a good student — he said he earned a 3.92 GPA last semester — and likes public speaking, but his COMS 130 class requires a lot of vocabulary and writing.
"Quite difficult, but I like this because I think it's very fun" he said.
Ye said he likes that the AAP lets him earn college credit while also improving his English. He did well last semester, but he said he was not sure if he's ready to be a sophomore yet. He still has this semester and the summer term to do more vocabulary and pronunciation work before comparing himself to American students.
"We didn't have the chance to have competition with American students," he said. "After this semester, I can give you the answer."
"We'll see how it works," Rosen said. "My hope is that it will be a good experience for all of the students. We'll have to see how it plays out."
Rosen said assessing and making adjustments if needed were parts of putting the AAP together.

Defense claims entrapment in airport bomb plot
ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press
Associated Press
WICHITA — An FBI agent who befriended a man now accused of plotting a suicide bomb attack at a Wichita airport radicalized him and induced him to commit the crime, defense attorneys argued Monday.
Terry Loewen, a former avionics technician, was arrested in December 2013 when he allegedly tried to
bring a van filled with inert explosives onto the tarmac at Mid-Continent Airport. His arrest capped a sting operation in which undercover FBI agents posed as coconspirators.
Loewen has pleaded not guilty to attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to use an explosive device to damage property and attempting to give material support to al-Qaida.
Defense attorneys contended
in a court filing Monday that the evidence of government entrapment is so strong that the indictment should be thrown out even before the case goes to a jury. They argued Loewen had no predisposition to commit the crime when the government began its investigation in June 2013.
Court documents detail Loewen's alleged conversations with undercover FBI agents. The discussions began with vague sentiments about his desire to commit "violent jihad" against the U.S. before turning into a detailed, concrete plot in which agents recruited him to use his airport access to plant a bomb in a martyrdom operation.
Jim Cross, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Kansas, said prosecutors will review the defense filings and respond to the court.
The defense noted that Loewen told the first undercover agent that he was
the only person with whom he had had any contact with about jihad. Loewen also told the undercover agents he knew nothing about explosives.
Defense attorneys also argued that the indictment should be dismissed due to violations of Loewen's First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, religion and association.
In a separate filing, his attorneys asked the court to suppress any evidence seized from his vehicle on the day of
his arrest, because they say the search warrant wasn't good for that day.
In a third filing, Loewen's attorneys argued that because the explosives were inert and the bomb would not explode, the weapon did not meet the legal definition of a "destructive device." They asked the court to dismiss the counts related to the attempted use of weapon of mass destruction and attempted use of explosive device.
Kansas activists push to ban abortion procedure
TOPEKA — Kansas abortion rights activists say a proposal to ban a specific abortion procedure could end up establishing broader restrictions.
The Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee conducted a hearing Monday on a bill that would ban the procedure known as dilation and evacuation. Kansas already bans most abortions at or after the 22nd week of pregnancy. The new measure could prevent some pregnancies from being terminated earlier.
Kathy Ostrowski of Kansans for Life told the committee the procedure was cruel to the fetus and should be banned.
Julie Burkhart of the Trust Women Foundation said the ban would endanger women's health and lead to additional costs due to legal challenges.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has said that he would sign the bill if it passed.

Snapchat mixes info and entertainment
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
Social media apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have been trying to come up with new ways to update their users on events from around the world without being invasive to users. However, the app that best informs its users on memorable events across the globe, and does so successfully by separating current events from usual posts, is one you would least expect: Snapchat.
Snapchat had previously implemented Snapchat stories, which include viewing your friends stories but also user-submitted stories all added into one for big events, like sporting events or cultural celebrations. This was a great way to get users out of their own bubble and experience others' cultures from their own doorstep.
Snapchat users are able to see "behind the scene footage" recorded by users like ourselves, which adds to the feature's youthful and fun qualities.
A few days ago, Snapchat released yet another revolutionary update with Discover, a quick and fun way to "explore Snaps from different editorial perspectives." There are interesting videos and articles by CNN, National Geographic, ESPN, Comedy Central, and more, all updated with new content each morning.
My first reaction was that these stories were not only a little intrusive, but they were a waste of time. However, after playing around with it, I have come to find that not only are these particular snaps entertaining but they are also effective at keeping younger generations informed on current events.
Seeing your friend's Chipotle burrito on their Snapchat story may be cool to some, but to see events happening in countries thousands of miles away is a very exhilarating technological experience. Snapchat chooses the best snaps from the events to compile in a couple hundred seconds, making it quick and funny. The Discover feature is also a great way to get important information out to younger audiences in a totally new and creative way.
Our world is fast paced, and our generation likes information to be quick and interesting. Snapchat has found a way for younger users to experience other parts of the world and stay up to date with current information in a unique way.

Super Bowl Sunday is treated like a religious holiday. The living room is a church, the chips and beer are our versions of bread and wine. Friends and family gather around to enjoy a classic game of football. But whether or not your favorite team made it to the championship,the commercials are a must-watch. The commercials during the Super Bowl are classic,and sometimes they are the most talked about during parts of the evening.
Every year, companies dish out millions to have just a few seconds of viewers' attention. The reported rate for running a 30 second ad during the Super Bowl is $3.8 million, according to sbnation.com. With that amount of money, an ad needs to be creative
Many of the commercials tugged at our heartstrings, getting us out of our game mode and in touch with our softer side. Dove and Toyota made sure viewers thought about their own father while they watched the sincere bond between child and dad unfold. While there was an emphasis on appreciation for our dads this year, I was satisfied to see there were also commercials directed to the female audience. The NFL has faced scrutiny when it comes to women-related issues, as seen with domestic abuse cases. So, I think it was especially appropriate for ads like No More domestic violence and #LikeAGirl to run
and this year, a common theme was emotional appeal.
In Always' #LikeAGirl commercial, adolescent boys and girls were asked to act out how a girl would run or fight — what followed were actions associated
with overly-dramatic and uncoordinated body language. When prepubescent girls were asked the same questions, their depictions of the actions represented girls as strong, fierce and capable. The dissimilarity between the two age groups revealed the decline of self-esteem and confidence many females experience as they get older and become more influenced by negative societal stereotypes of women.
Out of 1,800 Americans, 76 percent of girls ages 16 to 24 said they no longer saw the phrase "like a girl" as an insult after watching the video. Two out of three men who saw it said they would stop or think twice before using the phrase "like a girl" in a negative way, according to a study by Research Now from December.
I'd like to applaud Always for their #LikeAGirl commercial. They couldn't
have picked a better time to point out to sexist jerks that women should be equal to men. The commercial shows that women are not born into the world thinking they are weaker than their male coun-
It's important to take away from this commercial that negative ideas of women will only continue if we decide to create a barrier. Men get blamed a lot for issues related to women's equality, but if we

terpartss, but being constantly told that idea can affect them as they hit puberty. The Super Bowl is a male-dominated event, so it was refreshing to see an advertisement focus on women's issues. Not only does it get women thinking about how they view themselves, but it effectively reaches the attention of male viewers as well.

TRENDING Nationwide "dead boy" commercial draws criticism for sobering up Super Bowl
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Budweiser's lost puppy commercial that aired during the Super Bowl
ESPN reporter Dan Graziano tweeted his dislike for the commercial and questioned the advertising team that came up with the idea.
PICKING UP SPEED
Biking group travels back roads year-round
"No one in the Nationwide advertising meeting put up his hand and went, "Let's sleep on this?" his tweet said.
Actor and screenwriter John Francis Daley tweeted that Nationwide's commercial "ruined the Super Bowl."
Even if no one remembers what Kate Upton was advertising or how darling the lost puppy in the Budweiser commercial was, people will surely remember the sobering ad in which a little boy says he died. Maybe that was the intention after all.
There certainly were a wide array of commercials this year,and as always is with the Super Bowl commercials,some soar to the top of the favorites list and some are barely remembered.
Instead of sticking with its playful advertisement featuring Mindy Kaling trying to kiss Matt Damon, Nationwide decided to drop a heart-stopping commercial that made everyone put down their queso-smothered chip and look around in horror. The Twittern sphere certainly felt the wrath of upset viewers.
Another commercial that held sentimental value — though for other reasons — was the rather depressing Nationwide commercial. When the young boy narrating the commercial said, "I couldn't grow up because I died from an accident," viewers' emotions took a sudden turn from light-hearted to heavy.
B commercial that aired during the Super Bowl tugged at heartstrings around the nation. As the Clydesdales led the precious yellow lab puppy home, many shed a tear remembering their lost childhood dog, missing their puppy back at home or looking at their puppy begging for some five-layer dip.

CNBC tweeted a photo of Nationwide's statement with a caption that read, "Nationwide has an explanation for its depressing Super Bowl ad." The statement said the ad was crucial in starting a conversation, and the point was to increase awareness about an issue dear to everyone's heart: children's safety.
While a discussion certainly is occurring, the moments on Twitter after the commercial aired were filled with memes either making fun of the advertisement or cringing at its depressing tone. Many used the still image of the boy to make fun of the last play of the game where the Seattle Seahawks coach opted not to run the ball and instead pass it, leading to an interception by New England cornerback Malcolm Butler — a decision that is now being criticized as one of the worst plays in Super Bowl history.
"While some did not care for the ad, we hope it served to begin a dialogue to make safe happen for children everywhere," the statement said.
According to an assessment of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube comments by Amobee Brand Intelligence. 64 percent of viewers said the commercial was negative. Only 12 percent of viewers had positive reactions and 24 percent were neutral.

The temperature was below freezing and there was a light snow falling as Guru's Gravel Grinders took to the North Lawrence gravel roads to bike 44 miles Sunday morning. The ride, called the Lake Dabinawa Grinder, was the fifth one hosted near Lawrence.
The Kansas-based gravel biking group has been around since 2006, when leader Chris Locke, a Kansas City resident, created a gravel biking blog and began to invite people to rides. He estimates the group has grown to more than 300 riders total since its start, but the number of riders vary from race to race. He said membership really picked up around 2009 once the group started giving a name to each ride.
"I just do it to give back to the gravel sport that I love," Locke said.
While the weather affects the number of bikers that show up, the group will ride through just about anything. A ride in Baldwin City last month, named the Mullet, attracted 120 riders while only about 14 riders attended the Lake Dabinawa Grinder.
However, Locke said it was one of the most fun rides he has been on. The snowy conditions and adverse elements challenge him and helps other riders train for upcoming winter races, such as the 100-mile CIRREM race in Iowa at the end of February, he said.
"The best part of it is trying to keep your equipment going — it's just a different challenge." Locke said. "It was a good time and everyone that rode had a smile on their face. They enjoy the hard stuff, those elements like that."
Locke said the emptiness of the gravel roads is preferable to road rides.
"I like starting close to the gravel so we don't have to ride on the roads, because the gravel is a lot safer," he said. "Today we got passed by one person [in a car], we only saw one person out there and that's nice."
A group of the Guru's Gravel Grinders members are also part of the Cow Town Cycling race team, of which Locke is the president.
The team, which rides spring through fall, uses the Guru's Gravel Grinders winter rides as a way to stay in shape and keep up with training.
"Cow Town Cycling is primarily a mountain bike race team, but in the winter months the trails tend to get muddy and unrideable, so a good way to stay in shape over the winter is to ride gravel," Arnaud said.
In order to host a ride, Locke usually asks these team members to come up with the routes, keeping the mileage between 30 and 65 miles. Jeff Arnaud, a Lawrence resident and five-year gravel biker, hosted the Lake Dabinawa
"I just do it to give back to the gravel sport that I love."

"I usually host one of them a year. It's just a good way to give back to the team and the sport."
Arnaud said.
Aside from the 100-kilometer (about 62 miles) CIRREM race, there is also the morethan-300-mile Trans-Iowa gravel road race in April and Emporia's Dirty Kanza in May.
The Dirty Kanza is celebrating its 10th anniversary with its "Decade of Dirty" celebration. Riders can choose between a 20-mile, 50-mile, 100-mile and 200-mile race. Dan Hughes, a Lawrence gravel bike rider, has participated most years — completing seven rides and winning four times. (One year he wrecked and another year he didn't compete because of an injury.) Up to 900 people have participated in the past, and there is expected to be more than 1,500 bikers competing this year.
"It's a great event and it's just another one of those gravel grinders that's kind of a Midwestern thing, but it's catching fire and it's awesome," Hughes said.
Hughes, who owns Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop at 804 Massachusetts St., has been riding for more than 15 years and said he is excited to see that more and more people are picking up the sport. He said he started gravel biking because of a desire to ride for long distances without having to deal with traffic and other distractions.
"You can go out for a 50-mile gravel road ride and see one car," he said. "But you also get
to go through cool, little tiny towns that you never would go otherwise. It's just a lot of different surfaces and cool roads and no cars. It's just a great experience overall."
Guru's Gravel Grinders hosts at least two rides a month. The next one is this weekend in Jamesport, Mo.
This self-supportive group of bikers rides rain or shine around Kansas and Missouri, and while most of the rides are pretty basic when it comes to technical skill, Arnaud said riders still have to be confident in their ability to ride the route.
Hughes said he encourages people to go and ride, even if it's just on an old, clunky mountain bike that's in the garage.
"Hop on it and just go ride to the end of the levee, and follow the gravel roads to see where they take you," he said. "It's about a sense of exploration and the random farm dog who's super excited that you're on his gravel road. It's just getting right in there with nature and having a great time doing it."
The Guru's Gravel Grinders rides are always free and open to anyone who wants to join.

Black Box Productions gives students control
RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwaynewright
Each year, Black Box Productions allows the University Theatre's promising students to write and direct their own plays. Now in its fifth year, the program gives students full creative control over their works, which allows them to further develop their writing and directing skills. In the past, the plays were solely student-directed, but this year marks the first time that the plays were written by students.
The two plays being performed this year are "How to Survive College and Other Painful Acts" and "Spilled Time: A Comedy."
'HOW TO SURVIVE COLLEGE AND OTHER PAINFUL ACTS'
"How to Survive College and Other Painful Acts" is written by Cale Morrow, a sophomore from Dodge City majoring in theatre and minoring in music and creative writing.
The play is about daily struggles that many college students face. Morrow was inspired to write the play because he felt it will resonate with his peers.
"It's a very real story about the struggles that young adults go through while in college." Morrow said. "My own struggles and the challenges I've faced throughout my college career are what inspired me to write this play. I figured that if I could write a relatable piece that was also really funny, then maybe other students could learn from my struggles and have an easter time in college."
Morrow has been in theater nearly his entire life; he performed in his first musical when he was only 6 years old. Since then, he's been in a myriad of different productions and plans to continue with his work in theatre. He said he is currently pursuing different options and is excited to see what his future holds.
The production is directed by Blake Beardall, a junior from Overland Park majoring in theatre performance and minoring in creative writing. Beardall has been involved in theater for a large portion of his life, as he began acting in seventh grade. He said he agrees that the play will be highly relatable to college students.
"I was the first one of my family to go to a large college and I had always heard wild stories and had seen movies depicting college as 'the best years of your life,'" he said. "When I got here, I was sorely disappointed. This show is about creating your own happiness and I think that's a message that's important to a lot of people."
To offer a simple summary, Tong said, "One man, with a device that could stop time or fast forward time, meets a woman in an abandoned cafe, as he preps himself to take on an evil supervillain and a few agents along the way. With the help of a coffee clerk, a martial artist, and an overbearing ego that is his heroism, he takes on the doctor, and saves the world."
"Spilled Time: A Comedy" is written by Thomas Tong, a senior from Olathe majoring in theatre with a focus on performance. The play is a comedy which aims to take the audience out of everyday life and into a world where the lead encounters obstacles that comes from all angles and where the stakes are very high.
'SPILLED TIME; A COMEDY'
Tong said the production is inspired by the slapstick comedy that was used in "The 39 Steps," a play University Theatre performed two years ago.
"When I went and saw that show, the audiences were so enthused by it, they were taken out of reality," he said.
"What resonates with me about the show is the want to be important, to find the significance of our lives," Nevins said. "When we have been thrust into a situation that gives us a chance to act on or deface our own values, it's the choices of the characters that I like to see."
Nevins comes from a family with a background in theater. His parents met doing "Pippin" in Kansas City, in which they were the leads and lovers Pippin and Katherine. Once they got married, they continued to work in theater which lead to Nevins spending a lot of his childhood backstage in various theaters in Kansas City, Leavenworth and even Germany. Nevins ended up in
Tong started theater when he was around 10 years old and hopes to eventually be on Saturday Night Live as either a host, writer or a part of the cast. He's currently writing more works and is planning on doing a feature film as a screenwriter. He is also in the process of writing a television episodic story.
The play is directed by Christoph Nevins, a junior from Overland Park majoring in theatre performance.
"They went into the world of spies and humor."
Germany because his mother works for the military as a records manager and did theater while she was there.
"I'm more interested in acting over directing, but I'm moving towards play writing myself", he said. "I have an outline for a short play along with a three-act that will hopefully put up next year in the Black Box."
His parents' work in the theater inspired Nevins to take a chance. When he was 14, he auditioned for his first role — landing two roles — and has been working constantly since then.
Black Box Productions will open on Friday, Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. and will continue to run each night until Feb. 19 excluding Feb. 16. Each day, shows begin at 7:30 p.m., however on Feb. 16 shows begin at 2:30 p.m. The show-times include combined performances with one show running right after the other in the William Inge Memorial Theatre. Tickets are still available and are $5 for students in advance and $10 at the door. KU Theatre can be located at 1530 Naismith Dr. #317. For more information, visit kutheatre.com.

CAMP FROM PAGE
here's this drone with a Go-Pro attached to it — that is something that is going to hopefully be drastically more impactful on the kid than something that is already happening at summer camps today"
After they assemble an advising board, the two said they will start seeking funding, partly to provide scholarships for campers from low income families as well as scholarships for women to promote participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. Soto said they just opened an Indiegogo campaign to help fund the scholarships.

Soto said the idea came about when he was talking with his parents about his camp experience. He bounced the idea of a new engineering camp off of Hack.

"I just found that there was an issue with how a lot of [other engineering camps] were run and structured," he said. "What we're trying to do is fix that problem and give children another avenue to be exposed to and inspired to be an engineer."
"Nobody has really blended those two together," Hack said. "If you spend more time having real fun, then you make the association that engineering and fun go together, so that's the whole premise of where we started."
Soto said he attended an academic summer engineering camp when he was a teenager and wasn't happy with what he got out of it.
In addition to the interactive engineering activities the camp will offer, Hack said the program will fuse together the academics of engineering with fun, traditional summer camp activities, such as zip-lining and tubing.
ing is] a total failure, because at that moment, I finally convinced myself that I was capable of being an entrepreneur, and it's a really cool feeling." Hack said.
Last September, the partners incorporated Imagineering Youth Camps in Delaware, which means they can legally conduct business. Hack said they chose Delaware because it's known for tax benefits and is a common place to incorporate.
"When we received the official articles of incorporation, that was awesome, and then also getting business cards and shirts with our logo designed was rewarding." Soto said.

Hack said the duo has also decided on other factors, such as where to host the camp and how many campers to have each week. They decided on California for their first camps largely because of its popularity as a summer camp location and the weather. Hack said they will hopefully come to Kansas as their business expands. Hack said the idea is not for kids to simply attend camp and leave, but to stay in contact afterward to ensure that the campers are making progress.
The two said one of the
biggest challenges so far has been balancing school and the business.
"I think the biggest challenge is not putting off school for this, but also not putting this off for school," Hack said. Although their schedules don't always align, who they are and what they want to accomplish do.
Soto said any step forward they take with creating the camp will be rewarding.
"Anytime that we make a step of progress, whether it's tiny or massive, it's rewarding to know we're getting somewhere, we're getting something done, and we're actually doing something." Soto said.
"We carefully looked at our personalities, and our interests, and our goals — not just in school, but in life — and we made sure everything aligned." Hack said.
Hack said he's most excited about inspiring kids to become engineers.
"We get to be involved in having a serious impact on kids' lives and for me that's the whole thing," Hack said. "If it's only one kid that becomes an engineer, you have impacted him for the rest of his life and I think that's why we're both in it."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who should win the Wooden Player of the Year?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
"MONTREZL HARRELL"
The Wooden Award is an honor that doesn't reward just the nation's top scorers; it rewards the most complete and well-rounded basketball players in all of college basketball.
The mark of a great all-around basketball player is not merely the ability to score points, but the ability to rebound and assist, to be a lockdown defender, to come up clutch in wins and fight hard in losses. No athlete in the country exhibits the all around qualities of a great basketball player better than Louisville's Montrezl Harrell.
The man with a funny name is anything but a joke on the court: He accounts for 19 percent of his team's total points, 21 percent of his team's total rebounds, 19 percent of his team's total blocks and 10 percent of his team's total steals. Bear in mind Louisville is a team that has a rotation of at least 10 guys per game that relies on one man for almost a quarter of their offense and work on the glass.
Louisville is not a very good team — they have average talent at best — and it plays in the second best conference in
the country. They have signature wins this season against powerhouses Minnesota, Ohio State and North Carolina. Harrell dropped a season-high 30 against Minnesota, 13 against Ohio State and 22 against North Carolina.
In fact, he's only been held to single-digit points three times, and in those games he took fewer than 10 shots, grabbed at least five rebounds and came up with a steal.
That's evidence of a guy who understands when his team needs him to be a scorer and
as well as be a bruiser down low; he has incredibly difficult to guard. He has a keen awareness of the ball on defense — which accounts for his 1.2 blocks per game — and he excels at selecting his shot. He has never shot below 58 percent from the field for the season in his career.
In wins and losses, Harrell plays well and gives his team the chance to win. His defense in the paint often allows his team to better defend the perimeter; his rebounding allows them to run out in transition; and his physicality allows them
"HARRELL IS A REMARKABLE BASKETBALL PLAYER PLAYING FOR AN ALTOGETHER UNREMARKABLE TEAM."
when someone else has a hot hand. It took Kentucky and a miracle shot at the buzzer from Marcus Paige to take down Louisville when Harrell had fewer than 10 points.
Louisville is not an exceedingly talented basketball team, but Harrell pulls them up because he's an exceedingly talented basketball player. Standing at 6 feet 8 inches tall, and weighing 240 pounds, Harrell has the ability to step out and hit threes
work the ball down low.
Harrell is a remarkable basketball player playing for an altogether unremarkable team. The reason the Cardinals look remotely decent is because of this man's basketball ability.
The Wooden Award was simply made for players like Montrezl Harrell.

If there is one person who deserves to win the Wooden Award for player of the year it is Jahil Okafor of the Duke Blue Devils. He was the top recruit coming out of Whitney Young in Chicago and he proved to be deserving of that
and played for the then Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets). Okafor has scored in double digits in all 21 games so far this season. Also in these 21 games, he has produced six double doubles and four triple doubles.
NBA scouts are already calling him the number one overall pick for this June's draft. Especially with
"OKAFOR HAS SCORED IN DOUBLE DIGITS IN ALL 21 GAMES SO FAR THIS SEASON. ALSO IN THESE 21 GAMES, HE HAS PRODUCED SIX DOUBLE DOUBLES AND FOUR TRIPLE DOUBLES."
ranking. This year he has carried a very impressive Blue Devil team to impressive victories over Michigan State and ACC leader Virginia.
Okafor has basketball in his blood. His cousin Emeka won a National Championship at UConn
Rasheed Sulaimon being dismissed from the team, the Blue Devils will rely on him even more as a presence in the key.
The Blue Devils might have four losses in the ACC right now but with the win on Saturday against the Cavaliers, momentum is on their side and that involves
Okafor being a leader as a freshman. Okafor sits at 6 feet 8 inches tall and 265 pounds and scares many defenses in the paint.
If the Blue Devils want to advance in the tournament this March and emerge victorious in the ACC, it will be his job to carry them. He has proven to be their go-to man all season and there is no reason why he shouldn't be when it comes to postseason play.
The Blue Devils have it pretty easy to end the year only having to play ranked opponents three more times before the beginning of ACC tournament play.
It has been a historic season for the Blue,Devils as coach Mike Krzyzewski clinched win No.1,000 and the program landed the nation's No.1 recruit in Okafor. Okafor should be the unanimous Wooden Award winner when the season ends. If his double double and triple double performances can't convince the voters, I don't know what could.

Jayhawks outperform Wildcats in Sunflower Showdown
In Saturday's Sunflower Showdown, the No. 9 Jayhawks came out and torched the Kansas State Wildcats in the first few minutes of the game and never let them have a chance from there.
Kansas started out with a 20-5 run thanks to transition play and a firm defense. As a team, the Wildcats shot a horrendous 33 percent from the field on 60 shots, while the Jayhawks shot 44.8 percent. Kansas' persistent defense led it to victory with the team collecting seven steals and seven blocks.
Sean Collins
@seanzie_3
Four of those blocks came from the hustle of Kansas sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. One of his blocks came in the first half when Selden sent Kansas State sophomore guard Marcus Foster's layup into the stands. Selden not only gave the Jayhawks defensive intensity, but also spread the floor with nine points from beyond the arc.
Unlike most games this season, the Kansas offense was not able to run through sophomore guard Frank Mason III, who shot 0-of-12 from the field (0-of-4 from three-point range). Junior forward Perry Ellis led the Jayhawks with 16 points and 12 rebounds, including an alley-oop dunk from junior forward Jamari Traylor.
omore guard Brannen Greene had another big game for the Jayhawks with 11 points, including 3-for-4 shooting beyond the arc. Freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. also gave the Jayhawks eight points and nine rebounds on the day.

The Wildcats were simply outplayed on both sides of the basketball. On offense they couldn't buy a bucket and had a hard time distributing, only recording nine assists on the game. Along with the shooting percentage, the Wildcats struggled from the free-throw line with 12-of-21 free throws. Kansas State senior forward Nino Williams only contributed four points on seven shots. Williams has averaged nearly 12 points a game but couldn't find his stroke on Saturday.
up two-thirds of Kansas State's total score for the night. Gipson was 7-of-13 shooting along with seven rebounds.
Despite the strong performance from the Jayhawks on both sides of the basketball, the two freshmen, forward Cliff Al
exander and guard Devonte' Graham, struggled coming off the bench with a combined three points on 1-of-6 shots.
At the end of the second half the Jayhawks prevented any sort of comeback from Kansas State, playing great defense and keeping the Wildcats from getting within single digits. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 68-57, and after defeating Iowa State 89-76, are now 19-3 (8-1) in the Big 12.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
The Cyclones got off to a quick start, leading the Jayhawks 15-9 at the midway point, but things changed when coach Bill Self sent in sophomore guard Brannen Greene. Greene knocked down a couple of three-point baskets, and the Jayhawks turned it around, outscoring the Cyclones by 13 points over the rest of the half, despite sophomore guards Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and junior forward Jamari Traylor combining for just three points on 1-of-9 shooting.
2ND HALF
The second half was all about Mason and Selden, who combined for 31 of the Jayhawks' 54 points in the final period. The two shot a combined 11-of-15 from the field over the final period, adding three rebounds and three assists, as the Jayhawks improved to 19-3 on the year, and 8-1 in Big 12 play.
GAME TO REMEMBER
A. R. B. C.
Without a doubt, Wayne Selden Jr. was the player of the game for the Jayhawks. He scored 19 of his 20 points in the second half, while knocking down a game career-high five three-point field goals. For the second straight game, Selden sparked the team in the second half, playing a team-high 19 minutes over the final period.
GAME TO FORGET
FRED DONALDSON
Jamari Traylor struggled a bit against Iowa State, playing just 18 minutes,the lowest total of any starter. Traylor had the second-highest number of turnovers on the team,but it wasn't all bad for the junior, as he did make two of his three field goal attempts.

Frank Mason seemed to fly under the radar, but his final stat-line was anything but quiet. The sophomore scored 12 points, adding eight assists, five rebounds and two steals, while extending his streak of double-digit scoring games to 19. After the game, Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg said Mason had been "unbelievable" on the year, although Mason said he felt he could still get "a lot better."

COMMENTARY
Beaty eyes Texas as base for recruiting
---
Matt Corte
@Corte UDK
Not one that features a James Bond like car chase or Jason Bourne taking down a whole agency. This mission trumps those fictional stories and then some.
Kansas football head coach David Beaty is on a mission right
now.
Rebuilding the Kansas football program is a tall task, but luckily the Jayhawks have a coach who is crazy enough to believe he can.
400 BASKETBALL Duke women's basketball beats Louisville 66-58 | PAGE 8
From Beaty's first day on December 5th to now, the former Texas A&M wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator has blazed a trail in recruiting. Just under two months into his tenure, Beaty has already signed 17 players to national letters of intent.
What does this impressive number of recruits mean? Not a whole bunch, at least for now. Former coach Charlie Weis was doing much of the same, but what's different in Beaty's case is where the majority of players are coming from.
texas has been known to produce some of the best football players in the nation, and with Beaty's footprint all over that state as well as his knack for recruiting, he's taking advantage.
KU
IOWA STATE
33
JAYHAWK PRID
UPS DRIVI
Of the 17 recruits that Beaty has signed, 14 have come from the longhorn state alone.
While none have the prestige of a four- or five-star recruit, 12 of them have a grade of three stars according to ESPN, which could serve as a catalyst to acquire even better players in the future.
Oh and before you ask, yes they're all from Texas.
It is worth noting that because there are less JUCO players than high school players, it is easier to be ranked higher as a JUCO player. However, there's only three high school recruits coming to Kansas ranked in the top 100 of their positions, which means a healthy percentage of Jayhawk Freshman football players won't be quite ready to contribute on every down.
Where Beaty is taking advantage though isn't with prized high school players, but rather, he's signing highly valued JUCO players.
Of course all this recruiting hoopla may fall on deaf ears of countless Jayhawks fans, and I don't blame them for not caring. But after seeing only twelve wins in the past five years — Beaty's aggressive Texas recruiting is enough to give some football fans hope.
Committ D'Andre Banks and Jayson Rhodes are ranked as top ten JUCO offensive guards, while Ke'aun Kinner and Brandon Stewart are top ten JUCO players at the running back and cornerback positions, respectively.
For the JUCO commits, this translates into a host of them undoubtedly progressing their way near the top of depth charts next fall, making these players all the more important

With junior forward Perry Ellis trailing behind, sophomore point guard Frank Mason III led Kansas' fast break up the floor with 8:40 to play in the first half. Mason turned around and found Ellis for the easy three on the fast break to bring Kansas within one point. The Jayhawks eventually came out on top of a hard fought conference matchup, 89-76.
The Jayhawks came out of the gate sluggish in the first half, failing to reach double-digits in the first 10 minutes. Iowa State hit consecutive three-pointers on its first two baskets.
As the Jayhawks were down seven with 9:20 to play in the first half, they received a boost from a familiar face. Entering the game shooting 62 percent from beyond the arc in Big 12 play, two three-pointers from sophomore guard Brannen Greene found Kansas right back in it.
"Brannen hit some big shots for us," coach Bill Self said. "There's been a lot of games where he has bailed us out when he have no momentum."
With seven minutes to go in the half, a Greene free throw put the Jayhawks on top for the first time since the opening possession. Freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. found his range from deep as well, connecting on consecutive three-pointers to give Kansas a five-point lead.
Iowa State guard Monte Morris came into the game leading the Big 12 in assists per game, but struggled in the half with three assists and two turnovers. Mason, his counterpart, recorded seven assists and only one turnover as Kansas took a 35-28 lead into the half.
Mason helped Kansas run the floor with ease against the Cyclones Monday night as the
Jayhawks outscored the Cyclones 14-12 on the fast break. Kansas' transition game was its downfall against Iowa State earlier this season in Ames when the Cyclones outscored the Jayhawks 21-10 on the fast break.
"We weren't as committed to running as we were in Ames," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "They defended it well."
Sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. led the Jayhawks, storming out of the locker room with eight of Kansas' first 12 points in the first five minutes of the half. Selden helped Kansas extend its lead to 15 with 15:24 left.
"My teammates found me in open spots," Selden said. "I remained confident. Before I hit the three, I knew it was going in."
The Cyclones began chipping away at the Jayhawks' lead behind the strength of forward Georges Niang. Niang finished the game with 24 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field. While Kansas never lost the lead since taking it, it struggled with burying Iowa State for most of the night.
Selden continued to keep the Cyclones at bay, covering on two more three-pointers, extending Kansas' lead to 16 with 9:13 to play in the game. As time wound down, Iowa State's full-court pressure was giving Kansas trouble getting the ball across half-court.
When [selden] is playing well, they're tough to stop." Niang said. "When they shoot the way they did, they're hard to guard."
"Wayne is such a key," Self said. "His success makes us much harder to guard.
We were better tonight. They knew we had to take care of business tonight. That would have been three losses in a row"
Mason's stellar play continued to outperform Morris.
On top of his league-leading assist totals, Morris came into the contest leading the nation in assist to turnover ratio.
Mason extended his streak to 19 straight games with more than 10 points more than two assists, posting 12 points and eight assists
Monday. Morris recorded 12 points and five assists, but added four turnovers — two more than Mason.
"I thought [Mason] played a good floor game." Self said "He played a great game against Morris."
Behind Mason's eight assists
and a 20-point outing from Selden, Kansas extended its lead over Iowa State in the Big 12 to two games. Up next, the Jayhawks travel to Stillwater, Okla., Saturday to take on Oklahoma State.

@realblairsheady
The Lajahwacks took a page out of the Cyclones playbook on Monday night.
Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-pointers, averaging over 12 per game, but it was Kansas' three-point shooting that led the Jayhawks to an 89-76 win against its conference rival.
"I think one thing is that they're shooting a lot better than they have," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "When they're shooting the ball like that, it's hard to stop."
Kansas only hit 10 three-pointers in the contest, but it was the timing of each one that was crucial. When the Jayhawks were down, a three-pointer gave them momentum. When Iowa State was surging back, a Kansas three-pointer padded the lead.
As Iowa State was pacing ahead, up seven with 15 minutes left in the first half, the Kansas three-pointers started to fall.
"For us to make three more shots and the same attempts, that was big for us," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
In the past, Self has laud.
ed sophomore guard Brannen Greene for bailing out the team with a big shot. When Kansas was down seven in the first half, a Greene three-pointer seemed to kick start the team.
forward Perry Ellis hit his 12th three-pointer of the season, a career high for Ellis After the Ellis three-pointer, Kansas was down by only one. The crowd knew it was Kansas' time to take over, and that's exactly what happened.
The next possession, junior
Before the takeover, Iowa State junior forward Georges Niang extended the one-point lead to three when he scored his first of nine field goals. Niang scored a game-high 24 points.
Another Greene three-pointer ignited the takeover, his second and last three-pointer. With seven minutes left in the first half, Kansas held its first lead since the start of the game, but this time they didn't let it go.
"Greene is on a hot streak and he was really shooting it when he made those tough threes — it was tough to get going after that," Niang said.
The three-point frenzy didn't stop there. Freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. hit back-to-back three-pointers to close the half and give Kansas a 35-28 lead.
The second half was the same story but different characters.
The leader of the three-point parade in the second half was sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr., who hit five of his six three-point-attempts and scored 19 of his 20 points in the second half. Selden was one point shy of tying his season-high.
Selden was held to one point
"My teammates found me, that was the biggest thing," Selden said. "I remained confident and just knew that my next three-pointer was going to go in."
in the first half, but that didn't break his confidence. He said when he isn't shooting well early, the last thing he would think about was to pass up on open shots.
The Jayhawks started the second half on a 12-6 run, which was led by Selden and his three-point shooting. Selden's first three-point attempt was good, and he said after that made basket, he knew he was feeling it. After that first three-pointer, Selden went on to score the next eight points for the Jayhawks and gave Kansas a solid 49-34 lead.
Three-pointers were the key to the Monday night win, and it was a collective effort. The Jayhawks not only outshot the number one three-point shooting team in the Big 12, but also held Iowa State to a season-low seven three-pointers and for the Jayhawks that was just as important as making the threes.

COMMENTARY Beaty eyes Texas as base for recruiting
Matt Corte
@Corte UDK
Kansas football head coach David Beaty is on a mission right
now.
Not one that features a James Bond like car chase or Jason Bourne taking down a whole agency. This mission trumps those fictional stories and then some.
Rebuilding the Kansas football program is a tall task, but luckily the Jayhawks have a coach who is crazy enough to believe he can.
From Beaty's first day on December 5th to now, the former Texas A&M wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator has blazed a trail in recruiting. Just under two months into his tenure, Beaty has already signed 17 players to national letters of intent
What does this impressive number of recruits mean? Not a whole bunch, at least for now. Former coach Charlie Weis was doing much of the same, but what's different in Beaty's case is where the majority of players are coming from.
Texas has been known to produce some of the best football players in the nation, and with Beaty's footprint all over that state as well as his knack for recruiting, he's taking advantage.
Of the 17 recruits that Beaty has signed, 14 have come from the longhorn state alone.
While none have the prestige of a four- or five-star recruit, 12 of them have a grade of three stars according to ESPN, which could serve as a catalyst to acquire even better players in the future.
Where Beaty is taking advantage though isn't with prized high school players,but rather he's signing highly valued JUCO players.
Commits DAndre Banks and Jayson Rhodes are ranked as top ten IUCO offensive guards, while Keaun Kinner and Brandon Stewart are top ten JUCO players at the running back and cornerback positions, respectively.
Oh and before you ask, yes, they're all from Texas.
It is worth noting that because there are less JUCO players than high school players, it is easier to be ranked higher as a JUCO player. However, there's only three high school recruits coming to Kansas ranked in the top 100 of their positions, which means a healthy percentage of Jayhawk Freshman football players won't be quite ready to contribute on every down.
For the JUCO commits, this translates into a host of them undoubtedly progressing their way near the top of depth charts next fall, making these players all the more important
Of course all this recruiting hoopla may fall on deaf ears of countless Jayhawks fans, and I don't blame them for not caring. But after seeing only twelve wins in the past five years — Beaty's aggressive Texas recruiting is enough to give some football fans hope.

The Jayhawks started the second half on a 12-6 run, which was led by Selden and his three-point shooting. Selden's first three-point attempt was good, and he said after that made basket, he knew he was feeling it. After that first three-pointer, Selden went on to score the next eight points for the Jayhawks and gave Kansas a solid 49-34 lead.
Three-pointers were the key to the Monday night win, and it was a collective effort. The Jayhawks not only outshot the number one three-point shooting team in the Big 12, but also held Iowa State to a season-low seven three-pointers and for the Jayhawks that was just as important as making the threes.

Memorial Unions committee looks into redesigning the Kansas Union

CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boee
For the past two years, the KU Memorial Unions committee has looked into a project to redesign aspects of the Kansas Union to reflect what students want.
Director of Memorial Unions David Mucci said the University is evaluating which changes reflect students' desires. Mucci said the plan was sparked by the University-wide "Master Plan" initiated in 2013.
To begin with, the steering committee at the Memorial Unions conducted more than 50 focus groups that involved about 86 students and 59 faculty and staff. The initial idea was to consider creating a union in the center of campus, around Wescoe Hall.
However, the University's "Master Plan" conflicted with the idea, Mucci said. Instead, the Memorial Unions staff decided to work on improving the Kansas Union.
A steering committee used data from the focus groups to assess necessary changes to the Union. A majority of participants asked for more natural light and open space. The committee also visited student unions at other universities, specifically the University of North Carolina State and the University of Wisconsin.
From there, the committee created an abstract idea of how the Kansas Union could be reimagined.
"Essentially it was, if we had
our dream project, here's what the Union would look like," Mucci said. "It really [reflected] student interest in opening up the building, bringing in natural light, [and] expanding space."
The local architecture firm Clark | Huesemann created a series of plans in December. Although Mucci said the project is still very much "in the works," the proposed plans show significant changes to the Union's current layout.
For example, the Roasterie on the fourth floor would expand to the front of the building, closer to Jayhawk Boulevard.
"The idea was access to jayhawk Boulevard to make
[the shop] more open and porous — bring people in, expand our coffee operations," Mucci said.
More lounge space would be added on the first through fourth floors, including a revival of a restaurant or club on the first floor. One plan showed a restaurant as part of the bookstore on the second floor.
the other major change, at least as reflected in the current plans, would remove Jaybowl, the Union's bowling alley. Mucci said the steering committee was unsure whether bowling fit into the new plan, especially if a club were established on the first floor.
The director of Jaybowl, Becky Swearingen, was unavailable for comment.
However, much of the plan is still up in the air. Some considerations, particularly the financials of the plan, have not been addressed yet.
"We're looking toward fiscal year 2018 for a possible start," Mucci said. "There's really no funding for this. What we're really looking at is a recreation fee that sunsets in 2017 that might yield some significant dollars, without requiring additional fees increases on students."

Common Book for 2015-2016 year selected
KWANG HYUN
@Chwangwiti
The University has selected "A Farewell To Arms" by Ernest Hemingway as its common book for the 2015-2016 school year. This is the first time the University appointed classic literature as the Common Book, making KU one of few schools in the nation to do so.
"We do not have a specific genre that we choose from," said Howard Graham, associate director for academic programs of First-Year Experience. "We choose from whatever the community has put forward to the nomination process."
According to several book reviews, such as Barnes and Noble and The New York Times, "A Farewell To Arms" is considered one of the best American novels to come out of World War I. The novel is about an American ambulance driver's journey before and during World War I, and his love story with an English nurse whom he meets during his journey. Hemingway also depicts the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep, according to First-Year Experience's website.
the steering committee narrows down the list of nominees down to about five books for the final group of nominees. Then, the selection team, which consists of three faculty members, three students and three staff, uses a rating scale rubric to rank the
Last year, the Office of First-Year Experience received 100 unique nominations. There were more than 100 nominations, but several books earned nominations from more than one person. The nominations came from the University Daily Kansan and its website, accessible to any person with a KU online login. The administration staff of the Office of First-Year Experience also sent emails to all KU faculty members to encourage nominating books.

Westar Energy installs light in campus 'rape lot'

After a general concern from students about lack of campus lighting, Student Senate has successfully worked with Westar Energy to increase the wattage of lights between 12th and 14th streets, and has placed a new light pole on 14th and Louisiana streets.

commonly referred to as the "rape lot" by many scholarship hall residents.
Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner saw a need for a new light pole at the location because many students, especially females, were concerned for their safety in unlit locations.

Free program teaches students to eat healthy
SHERYL MILLER
KUSheryl@ku.edu
A program offered to KU students called Eat Well Live Well aims to teach students how to eat healthy and implement physical activity into their lives for free.
Eat Well Live Well is a six-week weight management program free to KU students. In the program, students meet either one-on-one or in small groups once a week at Watkins Memorial Health Center with education program coordinator Kelsey Fortin.
Each week, a different health topic is discussed, including understanding MyPlate, healthy eating on a budget, physical activity, building healthy meals and healthy
options in restaurants.
Students then set one nutrition and one fitness goal to achieve for the following week and report their progress at their next meeting.
to track progress, the program also includes the option to take measurements such as weight, body fat percentage, circumference measurements and blood pressure during the first, third and sixth week. Students can also do a one-time session instead and have it be more focused on the students' needs.
Fortin said it is important that students use this resource while it is free. Fortin expressed her concerns for student health and said that less than 6 percent of the
student population consumes the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day needed for proper nourishment.
Fortin also said that there is a lot of mixed information regarding nutrition.
"It is important that students receive information backed by research." Fortin said.
Busy schedules, dorm food and tight budgets are all perceived barriers to proper nutrition in college, but Fortin said that with proper planning, it is possible to achieve good nutrition habits and eat healthy on a budget, even with a full schedule.
"There is a huge misconception that eating healthy is too expensive, which simply isn't true," said Fortin.
"I always tell people in our first meeting that this isn't easy and you will get as much out of the program as you put into it. A lifestyle change isn't going to happen overnight. It takes hard work and dedication to create a behavior change," Fortin said.
Students can expect each session to run about an hour in length.
The hard work and dedication seems to pay off. Bianca Couto, a junior from Brazil, recently finished the program and highly recommends it to her fellow peers.
"I learned how to choose the right ingredients for my meals, how to balance portions and how to choose healthy meals," Couto said.
Before the program, Bianca noted that late-night unhealthy snacking was a problem. Now, she is able to create her own healthy snacks, using vegetables, whole grains and fruits. She also notes that Eat Well Live Well helped her be more active.
"In the beginning I was meeting my nutrition goals, but I failed at my exercise goals. After a serious conversation with Kelsey, I started to exercise more and the results followed." Couto said.
Couto said the program helped her lose weight, feel better and have more energy.
Robin Williams' wife, children dispute estate

SAN FRANCISCO — Robin Williams' children and wife have gone to court in a fight over the late comedian's estate.
In papers filed in December in San Francisco Superior Court, Williams' wife, Susan, says some of the late actor's personal items were taken without her permission and asks the court to exclude the contents of the Tiburon home that she shared with Williams from the jewelry, memorabilia and other items Williams said the children should have.
In this Nov. 13, 2011 file photo, Susan Schneider, from left, Robin Williams, and Zelda Williams arrive at the premiere of "Happy Feet Two" at Grauman's Chinese Theater, in Los Angeles. Williams' children and wife are fighting over the late comedian's estate in a California court. In papers filed in December 2014 in San Francisco Superior Court, Williams' wife, Susan, accuses the comedian's children from two previous marriages of taking items without her permission.
KATY WINN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The children, Zachary, Zelda and Cody, counter that Susan Williams is "adding insult to a terrible injury" by trying to change the trust agreement and rob them of the late actor's clothing and other personal items.
"The Williams' children are heartbroken that Petitioner, Mr. Williams' wife of less than three years, has acted against his wishes by challenging the plans he so carefully made for his estate," attorneys for the children said in court papers.
James Wagstaffe, an attorney for Susan Williams, said Monday that his client was only seeking guidance from the court about the meaning of certain terms in the trust.
An attorney for the children, Allan Mayer, declined to

struggles with substance abuse, and he had entered a substance abuse program shortly before his death.

William's trust granted his

and awards in the entertainment industry and some other specific personal items, according to court documents. Susan Williams says that because he wanted her to continue to live at the Tiburon home, it makes sense that he intended only for his children to have the specific personal items he delineated that were kept at another home he owned in Napa.
"Any other interpretation would lead to Mrs. Williams' home being stripped while Mrs. Williams still lives there," her attorney wrote.
The children dispute that interpretation, saying there were no specific limits on the location of those items.
The two sides also disagree over items put in storage, watches Williams owned and his memorabilia.

students to learn the history of World War I, and offers program opportunities to students who are interested in that subject. Graham said it was also the right time to raise the awareness of The National World War I Museum located in Kansas City, Mo.
"I think the best choices are the books that are well-written and lend themselves to dialogue about the number of different subjects that surround and [are] inside that book — I think this book does this," said Graham. "The book and Hemingway together allow us to have difficult dialogues about the important conversations the University is having, will continue to have and needs to have. I think this book lends itself to those important dialogues."

women have to think about their personal safety more than men," Wagner said. "I think it's a really good step and it will make everyone in the area feel more secure."
Both Wagner and Student Body President Morgan Said submitted a request early in the semester to Westar Energy, which then installed the new light pole and increased the wattage at no cost to the University.
"The reason why it took so long and was so contentious is because it is city property, but heavily located by students so it was a battle for who would pay for it," Said said. "But it didn't cost the student body any dollars, which is the cherry on top."
Westar Energy had no comment at this time as to
why it installed the light at no cost to the University.
For Carolyn Bandle, a junior from Lawrence, this light was needed because the area around the scholarship halls is a concern for residents.
"...it's just kind of general knowledge that women have to think about their personal safety more than men."
MIRANDA WAGNER
Student Body Vice President
"I don't park on the south side of 14th because some of the areas are too dark... especially being right by the bars, you never know who could be around and who you can't see," Bandle said. "I think the light is definitely necessary."

Lance Armstrong cited after hitting parked cars

DENVER — Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong hit two parked cars with an SUV after a night of partying in Aspen, Colo., but agreed to let his longtime girlfriend take the blame to avoid national attention, police reports show.
Police cited Armstrong with failing to report an accident and speeding weeks after the Dec. 28 accident, but only after his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, acknowledged lying for him.
Armstrong declined immediate comment on Tuesday. His attorney, Pamela Mackey, didn't immediately return a call.
Hansen initially told police she had been driving home from an Aspen Art Museum party when she lost control of Armstrong's GMC Yukon on icy roads, hitting the cars. She said she drove because "Lance had a little bit to drink," according to the reports.
A man who had been renting one of the damaged cars told a police detective that Hansen came running up to his house in high heels, apologizing and promising to pay for the repairs.
"She said, 'I'm Anna, we're the Armstrongs, my husband's Lance, he was just driving maybe too fast around the corner or something'" the man, Thomas Van Allen, told police, according to the reports.
Police say Hansen and Armstrong left the scene before police arrived.
Detectives later interviewed Hansen, who eventually told them Armstrong was driving, but the couple had decided to let her take the blame.

"We've had our family name smeared over every paper in the world in the last couple of years and honestly, I've got teenagers, I just wanted to protect my family," Hansen told police, the reports state. "I thought, gosh, Anna Hansen hit some cars, it's not going to show up in the papers, but Lance Armstrong hit some cars, it's going to be a national story."
Failure to report an accident is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of between $150 and $300.
Driving too fast for conditions is punishable by a fine between $15 and $100.
Hansen is not charged with a crime.
Armstrong is scheduled to appear in court March 17.
Armstrong won the Tour de France every year from 1999 to 2005. Those titles were stripped after a massive report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency detailed the use of performance enhancing drugs by Armstrong and his U.S. Postal Service teammates.

FFA OF THE DAY I wonder how many people got frustrated that they couldn't use the Jimmy John's at the Oread as a hallway to the Cave since the restaurant is permanently closed.
Tuesdays are crazy for me... I feel like I'm losing my mind and have no time to finish anything!!
My boyfriend's mom made 7-layer bean dip for Super Bowl Sunday and we still have a ton left over and I love it.
Saying "I don't know" when my six year old brother asks me why I don't have a boyfriend, because "I'm a lonely cat lady" just doesn't seem like the best response.
Wait, how was the attendance for Obama at KU greater? AFH holds 16,000 people and there were half that many tickets to see the president.
I don't even like the clap anymore because everyone at games is so horrible at it.
My teachers are so hot. Like, it's unfair. Why??
Those chapstick things that look like little balls... what are they called? I want one.
Quick! What does "TGIS" on the 1961 banner stand for?
the bearded trombone player at the men's game is super cute.
It's never too cold for ice cream.
Especially BOGO at Sylas and

COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PRO CON
Free schooling makes it harder on students
Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
Students who had the incredible opportunity of seeing President Obama speak at the University know that he has proposed a plan to make community college tuition free. If his plan works out, it can potentially open up educational doors for thousands of people who wouldn't otherwise have the financial means to obtain a college degree. His plan comes with some restrictions - students, at minimum, must attend half-time and have a 2.5 GPA in order to receive a tuition grant. This all sounds great, right? But students who are able to attend a four-year school right after high school may suffer from this plan in unexpected ways.
One way that free tuition for community college can negatively affect students at four-year institutions is by increasing the amount we have to pay. "Fouryear colleges and universities depend on larger classes taught to first and second year students to keep cost down," according to The Washington Post. This means universities get more money from the classes that 100-plus students are paying for than the smaller, upper-level classes, where students receive more specialized knowledge that prepare them for potential future careers. Since the classes with more students earn schools more money than the smaller classes, they subsidize the upper level courses to a certain extent, The Washington Post continues. Since many students will be swayed to attend community college with Obama's free tuition plan, this may cause freshman and sophomore enrollment to drop for four-year universities, therefore, causing institutions to lose money.
When a university loses money, it is bad news for all of the students enrolled in the form of tuition and fee increases. Even though the financial consequence of free community college is certainly an important factor, another worrisome impact of this plan has to do with the quality of education and the little power a two-year degree can hold in the business world. According to Roger Williams University President Donald Farish said most community colleges are open-admission institutions that have to cater to students "with very weak academic qualifications." Aside from the issue with the low standards community colleges expect of their students, there's also the trope against the associate's degree that still affects the judgment of some employers. U.S. News uses an example of nursing, a field that is beginning to seek out people with bachelor's degrees rather than the traditional associate's.
"That can make it more difficult for nurses with only an associate's degree to find employment or advance in their field," reporter Briana Boyington said. "An associate degree can provide students with a lot of opportunities, but community college graduates should still be aware that perceptions about the quality of an associate degree still exist."

@ceciliacho92
While it's admirable to create accessible higher education, it has some serious consequences in terms of quality of education these people will actually be receiving; it will make the associate's degree even more useless if more people are getting one of those degrees especially since.employers may be wary about hiring people with a two-year degree. It will raise the cost of tuition for those seeking a bachelor's degree (and other higher degrees) for not only students already enrolled in these programs but for the transfer students who take advantage of free community college as well.
Free tuition gives students incentive

Last month, President Obama proposed tuition-free community college (for
community college (for the first two years) for students that maintain a 2.5 GPA and are attending school at least half-time His proposal gives students from low-income families the opportunity to pursue higher education, while also alleviating debt accrued from pulling out student loans.

"STUDENTS CAN HAVE OTHER FACTORS CONSIDERED WHEN SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO THE UNIVERSITY, BUT ONLY IF THEY DO NOT MEET THE ACT AND GPA REQUIREMENTS."
undergraduates attend a two year college, according to The Washington Post, and though a large portion of the student population attends community college, not much attention has been given to two-year schooling. More than 60 percent of students that attend community colleges go on to transfer to a four year university, according to the American Association of Community Colleges.
Obama is not saying he will give students a free pass. Individuals
who cannot afford to attend higherlevel education due to low income deserve the opportunity to further their schooling. Students who prove they are willing to work for this opportunity should be rewarded with free tuition, especially if they weren't able to afford further education after high school.
Critics remark that obtaining an associate's degree will not further students in the job field and that prospective employers are only looking for a bachelor's degree or higher. However, there are still high-paying jobs that accept an associate's degree such as mechanical engineering technicians, computer network support specialists, web developers, dental hygienists and many more. Associate's degrees may seem worthless to some, but in actuality they are putting students in a position that is far better than not seeking a degree at all. Slate.com reports that students whose family's income is at or greater than $200,000 are not eligible for tuition-free community college, which some may think is unfair. However, how is there any justification behind these critics' remarks? If families can't afford higher-level education, you can bet that they're not making $200,000 a year.
People must realize that if you are working toward, or have obtained a degree, you are extremely lucky. There are many individuals in our society that may not ever get the chance to further their education, and who are we to say that they do not deserve the opportunity?
Whether or not you believe an associate's degree is worthless, leave that up to them to decide.
We should not be hindering people that want to create better opportunities for themselves and their families.

Current proposals don't alleviate student debt
College is a time of aches and pains. Our backs bear the burden of textbooks, homework assignments and on average, roughly $30,000 in student loan debt by the time we graduate, according to the Institute for College Access and Success. There is no doubt that the debt students carry is a rapidly growing individual problem, but this debt bubble also threatens the future of the American economy as a whole, according to USA Today.
according to USA Today. Young adults are forced to put off decisions such as owning a home or starting a family, adversely impacting economic growth. Something needs to be done to combat student debt, but current proposals to lessen the burden fail to actually
do so.
"POLITICIANS OF- TEN FAVOR SHORT- TERM 'SOLUTIONS' EVEN IF THERE ARE LONG-TERM REPERCUSSIONS BECAUSE AN ELECTION IS ALWAYS AROUND THE CORNER."
The majority of student loan reform initiatives on the Congressional docket the past two years have proposed lowering interest rates on educational loans. For example, in May 2014, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren proposed letting students borrow at an interest rate of 0.25 percent. While this may sound like a good idea, after
a few minutes of thought, one finds that lowering interest rates on loans will have the opposite effect of lowering total debt.
As any accounting textbook will say, interest is the cost of borrowing money. When interest rates are lowered, it is cheaper to borrow money. In effect, by pursuing lower interest rates, governments are making it cheaper for students to take on even more debt as college tuition increases. Lowering the interest rate on student loans does not make college cheaper; it instead makes greater quantities of debt more affordable. By extension, rather than lowering the cost of tuition itself, having lower interest rates just makes expensive tuition easier to handle.
By pursuing lower interest rates on student loans, politicians are propping up increasingly pricey tuition. Since students are able to take on more debt, colleges and universities will face little incentive to be efficient, and maintain (or lower) prices. As economist
Neal McCluskey puts it:
"Give everyone $100 to pay for higher education and colleges will raise their prices by $100, negating the value of the aid."
Overall, politicians are failing to ask the real question: why is tuition increasing? Perhaps one answer is the growing amount spent on administration. According to a study by political scientist Jay Greene, over the past two decades, spending on higher education administration has increased by more than 60 percent. This is despite improvements in technology that should make administrative tasks easier to perform.
Politicians fail to tackle the root of higher prices, and choose to Band-Aid over the resulting tuition increases with cheaper loans. In my view, this leads to a vicious cycle of mounting debt and higher tuition. As colleges raise prices, government then makes increased debt more affordable through lower interest rates on
student loans, and therefore institutions face no incentive to lower tuition. Higher education may now know that they can increase prices without repercussion, and the cycle repeats.
It is true that lower rates may initially ease the burden of debt for many students, but this is a short-term solution. Once institutions realize that lowered rates make room for more debt, a new round of tuition increases will wipe out any progress toward the long-term goal of making college more affordable. Politicians often favor short-term "solutions" — even if there are long-term repercussions — because an election is always around the corner. Therefore, just as any diet pill promising immediate results should be questioned, as students, we must be skeptical of anyone who promises a quick fix to our debt problems.

Filmworks group revived by University students
TIM MCGINNIS
@tim_mcginnis
When Savannah Rodgers was 12 years old, she watched the movie "Chasing Amy" and immediately fell in love with film. In that moment, she realized she could turn her love of film into a career, and today, her goal is well within reach.
Rodgers, a sophomore from Olathe, recently restarted KU Filmworks, a student film organization at the University. Rodgers' inspiration to restart the group came from her passions for producing film and helping others. Filmworks was originally created in 1999, but has been closed for the past two years due to a lack of membership. Recently, however, Rodgers revived the program with the help of Mason Kilpatrick, a junior from Hutchinson, and Becca Huerter, a junior from Chanute.
"When I was a freshman I had no idea where to go to get involved in film production," Rodgers said. "I think bringing back Filmworks will be a great opportunity for students who are looking for a place to hone their craft."
In past years, Filmworks has created multiple short films, a web series and a feature-length movie. Rodgers said
Rodgers said this group is important to her because it gives her a chance to step out of her comfort zone and participate in something she loves. She said Filmworks has created endless opportunities for her, and she wants to provide those same opportunities for other students.
One of the main semester goals for the group is to get as many students as possible involved in the organization. Jacobson said in past years, Filmworks has had as many as 100 members, but at the moment they have about 12.
this year's group hopes to follow in the footsteps of past groups by creating films that are interesting and enjoyable. Kilpatrick said the group also plans on producing promotional videos for local businesses and University organizations.
Filmworks faculty advisor Matt Jacobson said the revamping of Filmworks has been a tiresome process, but once the group begins producing films, all the hard work will have paid off.
"One of my goals before leaving school is to make KU better," Rodgers said. "I want to leave the place better than I found it and I'm hoping to accomplish that with Filmworks."
Jacobson said the only reason the group is able to function is because of each member's passion and dedication to film.
Much like Rodgers, Kilpatrick's love for film began at a young age. Kilpatrick said in grade school he took part in school plays and in middle school he decided he wanted to write and produce films for a career. He said Filmworks has allowed him to pursue his goals by providing him with the tools and resources he can't get in the classroom.
"Filmmaking always works best when it is a collaborative project, and that is what Filmworks does best," Jacobson said.
jacobson said Filmworks allows students to gain real world experience in film writing and production, and it helps them prepare for a future in a difficult industry. One former member of Filmworks, Chris Martin, won an Emmy for his work on the television series "Heroes."
"Not only is this my work, this is my passion and my hobby," Kilpatrick said. "I feel like I am nowhere near where I can be in terms of potential and skill, and I want to strive for that through Filmworks."

Actor Gregory Peck is shown as attorney Atticus Finch, a small-town Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape, in a scene from "To Kill a Mockingbird," based on the novel by Harper Lee. Lee and her publisher announced Tuesday that this summer they'll release the 88-year-old author's second book, "Go Set the Watchmen," a kind of sequel to "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Harper Lee sequel raises questions about release date

The sequel to Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" called "Go Set A Watchman," is set to be released on July 14, raising concerns about the release date more than 50 years after it was written.
LYNDSEY HAVENS
@LyndseyAlana
Social media shockwaves erupted Tuesday following the announcement of a supposed sequel to Harper Lee's classic debut novel "To Kill A Mockingbird." The novel, "Go Set A Watchman," will be released on July 14 and will tell the story of Scout's return to New York to visit her father, Atticus Finch.
While the news itself sent fans into a frenzy, several underlying aspects are causing controversy, such as why the novel, which was written in the 1950s, is just now being released and who made the call to release it.
In an article by the New York Times, some have expressed concern about Lee's role in the approval of the release. According to the article, "All of Harper's communication with Ms. Lee about the new book came through her lawyer, Ms. Carter, and her literary agent, Andrew Nurnberg, including the statement she gave expressing delight that the novel would finally be published, according to Jonathan Burnham, senior vice president and publisher of Harper."
The article went on to say that Burnham didn't think speaking directly with Lee was necessary and that she understood the terms of the deal. Though Lee, a known recluse, has yet to speak out on the matter.
The once considered "long-lost" manuscript for the book was found last fall, according to BBC News, and was attached to an original transcript for "To Kill A Mockingbird." Supposedly, Lee wrote the sequel prior
to "To Kill A Mockingbird" but was told by her editor to rework some of its sequencing.
Lee, now 88 years old, said in a statement, "It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout's childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became 'To Kill a Mockingbird') from the point of view of the young Scout."
While resurfaced releases are no new concept, especially in the music industry — Bob Dylan's recently released "Basement Tapes" stirred up excitement a few months ago — the more than 50-year-long gap since Lee's last release is one of the longest spans of time for a writer to release a new work. However, considering the book was written in the 1950s and is, in some sense, a draft to her Pulitzer Prize-winning debut novel, do the decades matter?
For some, such as Ellen DeGeneres, the real question at hand deals less with who granted permission for the release and more with the confusion between a mockingbird and mockingjay. According to a tweet from her official account, she shared her excitement to "read what kind of trouble Katniss gets up to in this one."
Others, such as musician Amanda Palmer, expressed their inspiration by the release. Though, for a release that is engulfed in so much controversy, how inspiring can it be if Lee is left in the dark?

Associated Press
NEW YORK — A once-gilded Brooklyn movie palace that's been crumbling for decades, with pigeons infesting its stage, is back again a glittering gem from the 1920s.
After a two-year, $95 million renovation, every detail from its jazz-age 1929 incarnation has come to life amid computerized sound and LED lighting. The theater that first opened weeks before the Wall Street crash is now the largest in New York's biggest borough.
Diana Ross headlines Tuesday's opening night at the 3,200-seat Kings Theatre in the Flatbush neighborhood where a teenage Barbra Streisand spent afternoons enjoying double features.
"We don't want to make it look brand-new; its character, its patina, is the glow and the warmth and the burnishing of the gold and the copperleaf, of the beautiful light fixtures, the seats, the carpet and the fabric — it all blends together so perfectly," said David Anderson, president and CEO of the Houston, Texas-based ACE Theatrical Group selected to restore and operate the city-owned property.
The theater has a goal that reaches beyond its terra-cotta, ornamental facade: to be an economic engine for a once heavily Jewish neighborhood now home to many Caribbean immigrants. Some are struggling in a community that has survived a roller coaster of crime and decay on its way to the current real estate renewal.
In the next few months, programs will feature entertainers including Gladys Knight, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Sarah McLachlan — the first of about 200 live annual events being planned.
"And yet," he added, "if we can't make it be a piece of successful commerce,' we've wasted our time."
Gone are the pigeons that left years of droppings inches deep in a space that also served as a refuge for homeless New Yorkers. Balconies that had collapsed onto water- and mold-soaked floors are up again, complete with new red velvet seating.
The carpeting is patterned after the original one that was destroyed — except for a tiny strip discovered under a defunct popcorn machine that served to duplicate the pattern.
The roof no longer leaks. And the 2,000-pound Art Deco lobby chandeliers — too heavy for vandals to strip — again exude splendor above the repolished entrance marble.
Most of about 100 jobs at Kings will go to area residents, with local restaurants and small businesses also benefiting.
"We'll be catering to the immediate community, presenting shows that interest New Yorkers from the Caribbean culture," Anderson said.
The 86-year-old venue, its decor inspired by France's Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera, was one of the five Loews' "Wonder Theatres" in New York and New Jersey — sumptuous homes to a budding movie culture.
On Saturday, Kings will open its doors for free tours.
To accommodate families, ticket prices for some shows will start as low as $15.
By 1977, when the theater was shuttered, suburban multiplexes had replaced the grand, deteriorating inner-city palaces. Kings was acquired by the city in 1983 because of nonpayment of taxes, and it took two more decades to raise the $95 million for the restoration.

The theater that was one of the "five wonders" of America's newly hatched movie culture is back decades after it was shuttered, a crumbling relic of a glorious era. ABOVE: David Anderson, president and CEO of Ace Theatrical Group, speaks during an interview in the King Theatre, in the Brooklyn borough of New York Monday.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Would you want your team to sign Josh Gordon?
Joey Anguiano
@joey Anguiano
"YES"
Should teams sign players with "character issues?" Should teams take risks on players who have received multiple suspensions from violating the NFL's substance abuse policy? Should teams put the on-field product as
He received a two game suspension for violating the NFI's substance abuse policy.
"GORDON IS SELF-AWARE. HE HAS ADMITTED TO HIS MISTAKES."
a priority over the off-field nonsense? These are questions that should be evaluated on a case-to-case basis, but in the case of Josh Gordon, the answer is yes.
substance abuse policy. Gordon responded to his shortened 2013 season by playing spectacularly. His 2013 campaign ended with him leading the NFL in receiving yards, both total and per game. Gordon was also second in yards per catch, and had the fourth most yards from scrimmage in the 2013
Gordon has had his fair share of troubles with the league offices and head coaches alike. While at Baylor in 2011, Gordon was suspended indefinitely for his second failed drug test. Following a rookie season, where Gordon finished third in rookie receiving yards and fourth in rookie receptions, the wide receiver was suspended for the first time as a professional.
season. That season was also the first time an NFL receiver played back-to-back 200-yard games, and it was Josh Gordon. He was selected to the Pro Bowl, despite playing just 14 games.
Gordon followed up his spectacular efforts with his second substance abuse suspension in as many years. This time, it looked as though Gordon would spend the entire season on the sidelines, until the NFL unveiled its new drug policy, under which Gordon was only suspended 10 games versus 16. He only played five games in the 2014 season, so Gordon's time on
the field is best described as ineffective. He was suspended for the final game of the 2014 season for violating Cleveland Browns team rules.
Gordon has been called an alcoholic, a drug addict and a problem for teams. He responded with an open letter, addressing those in the media who are concerned for his well being.
"I am not a drug addict; I am not an alcoholic; I am not someone who deserves to be dissected and analyzed like some tragic example of everything that can possibly go wrong for a professional athlete." Gordon writes.
He continues on stating that if he does have a "problem" it's that he is only 23 years old. Which is exactly why I would want to sign him for my team. Gordon is self-aware. He has admitted to his mistakes. He is a unique talent who has proven he can perform at the highest of levels. And he is only 23 years old. In my opinion, Gordon has at least five more high-performing seasons in the NFL. You can call him a distraction, but if given the chance to play in 2015, he will be called a Pro Bowler at the end of the season.

"NO"
There's no denying Cleveland Browns wide receiver, losh
Wide receiver, Josh Gordon, has talent, but right now he is more of a liability than star player. After failing yet another drug test, Gordon will be suspended for the entirety of the 2015-16 season. This will leave the Browns without their best receiver once again.
There comes a time where consistency is valued more than talent such as Gordon's. If he can't handle league rules and violates them as often as he has, then he not only gives the franchise a bad reputation, but is also a hindrance to the team's success.
in the 2014-15 season Gordon was suspended for the first 10 games after failing a drug test, and again for the final game of the season for violating team policy. The struggling Browns could have used Gordon during those games. The fact he didn't play for something he could have controlled, drug use, is only hurting the team.
The media has heavily criticized Gordon, and Gordon
replied with an open letter. According to USA Today, Gordon said, "I am not a drug addict; I am not an alcoholic; I am not someone who deserves to be dissected and analyzed like some tragic example of everything that can possibly go wrong for a professional athlete."
While Gordon has a point, he should act responsibly because he is a highly-paid professional

athlete that many people look up to. He has a year to improve before he returns to football, which will almost certainly be crucial for his growth. Gordon is by no means a bad person. He seems to have issues that need to be confronted. When he is at the top of his game mentally and physically, he is one of the best receivers in the National Football League and has a very bright future.
"GORDON IS BY NO MEANS A BAD PERSON. HE SEEMS TO HAVE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CONFRONTED."
Gordon ended his letter with "I've come a long way from those mean Fondren streets, but it's clear that I can be a

BROWNS
In this Nov. 30, 2014 file photo, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon carries the ball after a reception against the Buffalo Bills during the first half the game in Orchard Park, N.Y. The Browns say they are disappointed about a report that troubled wide receiver Gordon has failed another drug test and could be facing a one-year NFL ban. Gordon was suspended for 10 games last season for another violation of the league's drug policy. He appeared in just five games and was suspended by the Browns for violating team rules before the season finale.

COMMENTARY
Home dominance delivers Big 12 championships
It is no secret that the Kansas men's basketball team has won 10 consecutive Big 12 Conference Championships under coach Bill Self. After a resounding 89-76 victory over Iowa State on Monday night, the Jayhawks are in a great position to win number 11.
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
In the last decade, Kansas has gone 78-5 at home in conference play. In that same time frame, the runners-up have combined to go 72-11. The first-place-tying and second-place teams have performed well at home, but a six game difference is huge in close conference races.
Aside from the 2009-10 season when the Jayhawks dominated the Big 12 and won the conference by four games, they have won the conference by two games or fewer every year. Kansas won by two games twice, by one game three times, and shared the conference title four times.
How has Kansas been able to reign over the Big 12 for an entire decade? There are many answers to this question, but the biggest reason for the Jayhawks' success: they are dominant in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks have had the best home conference record, or been tied for it, nine times in the last 10 years. The one time they didn't was 2006. Kansas went 7-1 and Texas went 8-0 that year.
This season it has been the same story for Kansas. Currently 5-0 at home in Big 12 play, the Jayhawks are in first place by two games heading into the backend of conference play. Kansas has five road games remaining: Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Kansas State and Oklahoma. They only need to go 2-3 to finish with four losses and almost assuredly win the conference outright.
Since then, the closest Kansas has come to .500 on the road was just last season, going 5-4. But the Jayhawks still won the conference by two games. They went 9-0 at home, two games better than Oklahoma (7-2), which finished second.
Conference opponents must find a way to win in Allen Fieldhouse more often to stop the Jayhawks' domination. Otherwise, they are banking on Self to finish below .500 on the road. In that case, good luck, Big 12.
— Edited by Alex Lamb
Because the Jayhawks win 94 percent of their home conference games, they don't need to be spectacular on the road, just adequate.
Since Self has been at Kansas, the team has been above .500 on the road in conference play every year except the 2003-04 season, which was the last time the Jayhawks did not win the Big 12. That team went 4-4 on the road.

Softball embraces tough 2015 schedule
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
The media room at Rock Chalk Park was quiet on the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 29. A few reporters and video cameras were scattered throughout the room. There were tables set up at the back corner of the room where members of the softball and track and field teams would speak to the media about their upcoming seasons. This was the scene of Kansas Softball/ Track and Field Media Day.
At around 1 p.m., Kansas softball coach Megan Smith took the podium to discuss the upcoming season. Smith began her half of the press conference by complimenting the brand-new softball facilities at Rock Chalk Park.
"We're so excited to open up this season in a brand-new park and it's such a beautiful park," Smith said. "It's been unbelievable to train in the last months in the Park and our own indoor facility, which has been great."
Smith also talked about Kansas' tough schedule this season, with some early challenges in the season-opening Florida Atlantic Tournament on Feb. 6.
"We have a really tough schedule," Smith said. "We play Georgia, Tech and Arkansas in the FAU Tournament. We're also going to the defending national champions, Florida, to play two games with them. We really beefed up our schedule to prepare us for Big 12 play."
After track and field coach Stanley Redwine had his turn to speak about the upcoming track and field season, it was time for the media members to talk to the student athletes. Representing the Kansas
Smith said she wanted her team to play a number of Top 25 teams before entering Big 12 play. She also said that she specifically sought out a game with Florida to get the team exposure to a talented opponent who can compare to conference foes Oklahoma, Texas and Baylor.
softball team were the four team captains: junior infielder Chaley Brickey, senior infielder Chanin Naudin, senior pitcher Alicia Pille and senior utility player Maddie Stein. These four players are expected to be the Jayhawks' leaders this season and hope to lead them back to the NCAA tournament.
Stein, a senior from Oklahoma City, is currently sixth in school history with 109 RBIs, 32 away from the all-time record of 141. Stein said that she is focusing on taking a mentor-type role this year and wants to start preparing the next round of leaders for the Jayhawks. Regarding the tough Big 12 schedule, Stein said she felt the team could handle the challenge.
"I think we're prepared," Stein said. "I think we have to win the games we're supposed to, play tough in games that we don't know how the outcome should go. We have to be as competitive as we can be. More importantly, our
goal is to win a regional."
goal is to win a regional.
Brickey, a junior from Haltom City, Texas, has finished both her freshman and sophomore seasons on the All-Big 12 Second Team. She also drew a school-record 42 walks a year ago and had the highest RBI percentage on the team with .365.
"I love the facilities." Brickey said. "It's incredible to come out here, drive past the park and just look at it and say 'Wow, that's where we're playing this year.'"
Brickey also said that the team has big expectations for the upcoming season.
"We all want to get further than we did last year and we're all busting our butts to get there," Brickey said. "We all know what it takes."
Naudin, a senior from Princeton, Texas, led the Jayhawks with 15 doubles in 2014. She said she is looking forward to playing against a tough schedule and getting better as a program. She also said she is excited to embrace a leadership role as one of the
captains on the team.
"I just want to be able to produce more for the team and be able to help the team if we're having a rough time," Naudin said. "I just want to do the best I can to help the program."
Pille, a senior from Royse City, Texas, has high expectations for the team. When told the Jayhawks were ranked No. 5 in preseason Big 12 polls, Pille said she hasn't been paying too much attention to the rankings, but she hopes to prove the critics wrong.
"I expect to get further than we did last year," Pille said. "I'm excited with all of the new people and I can't wait to see us play. We have some good talent coming in."
ine Jayhawks will kick off their season on Feb. 6 against LIU-Brooklyn in the Florida Atlantic Tournament in Boca Raton, Fla.

Kansas looks to sweep Texas Tech tonight

@dmantheman2011
The Kansas Jayhawks return home for a two-game homestand this week after being on the road the previous two games. The homestand begins with Texas Tech (13-8, 3-6) tonight at 7 p.m.
Kansas (12-10, 3-6) is in a five-way tie for sixth place with Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and West Virginia. Kansas also takes on Oklahoma State this Saturday for the first matchup of the season.
The lajyhawks are coming off a 66-58 loss on Sunday against Baylor in Waco, Texas. Senior forward Chelsea Gardner saw her three consecutive games with 20 or more points snapped as she was held to just eight points, but did not play the last 12:37 of the first half because of foul trouble.
This will be the second meeting between Texas Tech and Kansas. Last time, Kansas pulled out a thriller
in Lubbock, Texas, on Jan. 21, with senior guard Asia Boyd scoring the game-winning layup with 0.6 seconds left. That win gave the Jayhawks their first win of Big 12 play and first road win in Big 12 play.
Kansas once trailed by 17 points in the second half and came back for the win. Texas Tech lost two of its last three games, its only win against West Virginia 73-57 on Jan. 28. The Lady Raiders are coming off a heartbreaker against Kansas State on Saturday, losing 41-38 to the Wildcats.
Texas Tech is just 1-3 on the road this season, with their only win against West Virginia on Jan. 14. Texas Tech senior guard, Amber Battle, leads the team, averaging 16.9 points and 6.1 rebounds. Battle has only played in 15 games this season.
Battle was named this week's Big 12 Player of the Week with her performances against West Virginia and Kansas State this past week. She
scored a combined 52 points in her last two games. Battle scored 16 points in the first meeting between Kansas and Texas Tech.
If Kansas wants to win its fourth straight win versus Texas Tech, the seniors need to take control of the offense. Both Gardner and senior guard Natalie Knight had offgames against Baylor. Plus, stopping senior forward, Kelci Baker, drew seven charges against Kansas in the first meeting.
Kansas has won the last three meetings dating back to Feb. 24, 2013, which was the last time Texas Tech defeated Kansas in Lawrence 72-70. With two big games for the Jayhawks, they could either move up in the conference standings or stay at the bottom. The Jayhawks are just a half game behind fifth place Texas.

Wamelink said the SHAB, composed of representatives from the different student governing bodies, as well as faculty members, was encouraged by the campus-wide initiative to go to tobacco-free.
"In terms of paraphernalia, most of the opinions I've been hearing, especially from students who live in the scholarship halls, is that they aren't very much in favor of banning the paraphernalia," said Skinner, a senior from Wichita. "Most of that is because a lot of people aren't sure that it's enforceable; a lot of them aren't sure that it's necessary."
"With the [tobacco-free initiative]," Wamelink said, "our student leaders have been invited to some preliminary conversation and we're thinking about what would it look like for KU Student Housing to go completely tobacco-free. Should we

INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIPS
By Kate Gerken
Amy Sullivan
Hey you, yeah you, the ambitious looking one with your nose in the Kansan!
Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that allows you to gain professional work experience, live in another culture,and explore the world? Interning abroad is a fantastic way to accomplish all of the above.
How Do I Know?
Because I experienced it first-hand. I interned abroad in London as a junior in college and I can still say, to this day, that it was one of the most impactful experiences of my college career.
I worked for what was known at the time as the American Chamber of Commerce (UK), a trans-Atlantic business organization with offices in London and New York, which coordinated networking opportunities for its member companies. As a special events intern, I planned and coordinated weekly events ranging from breakfast and lunch forums to a retirement reception held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, to the annual Black Tie Awards Dinner held at the Savoy, one of London's most famous hotels.
Having grown up in the Midwest, it was my first time being far away from home and the comfort of my friends and family. My confidence grew leaps and bounds
as I put the skills that I had learned in the classroom to use in the real world and adjusted to life in a new culture and exciting international city.
A journalism major with an interest in the areas of public relations and special events, my internship at the Chamber was ideal because it allowed me to test drive a career in these areas. Even though I later switched career paths to work in the field of study abroad, the hands-on experience and transferable skills that I gained from it have been invaluable.
Internships Through KU
Intrigued? If so, you'll be excited to know that KU offers 8-week summer internship programs in Dublin, london, Madrid, Shanghai, Sydney, and Almaty, Kazakhstan, all of which provide the opportunity to build your resume, navigate another culture, and earn academic credit. Application deadlines for summer 2015
internship programs are quickly approaching so now is the time to apply. If you're interested in learning more, visit the Office of Study Abroad Info Center in 105 Lippincott, stop by the Internship Abroad tables at the Study Abroad Fair today or attend one of the following information sessions:

TOP REASONS TO STUDY ABROAD IN THE FALL
By Alex Jaumann
As spring semester is just beginning, probably the last thing anyone wants to think about is the fall. If you're thinking about studying abroad, however, this is the perfect time. The fall semester is the best time to study abroad (in my opinion), as I learned when I studied at the University of Stirling in Stirling, Scotland during the Fall 2013 semester. Although studying in the spring allows you to end the semester with warm weather (if you're in the northern hemisphere anyway), there are plenty of reasons that studying abroad during the fall is the best.
1. Extend your summer and have more time to get your visa
Most fall semester programs start in September as opposed to August, meaning that you get an extra month to enjoy your summer break. Let's face it; many of us need a few months of summer break to recuperate after a year of hard work in classes, extracurricular activities and jobs. Whether you prefer taking a tropical vacation or just spending some time at home with family and high school friends, an extra month of break is always appreciated. If you like to work during the summer time, then you can use the extra month to work more hours and maximize your potential options for travel and activities while abroad. However, if you're feeling satisfied with the money you earned during the first few months of summer, why not spend your additional month as purely relaxing downtime? Either way, the only way you can get an extended summer break is by studying abroad in the fall. In addition, you will have the entire summer break (and maybe a little extra time) to get your visa paperwork in order, instead of trying to organize it over winter break.
2. It's the easiest semester to extend your stay
Tartu
Believe it or not, most students who study abroad tend to enjoy their experience. In fact, what a lot of returned students will tell you (myself included) is that they wish they could have stayed longer in their host country. If you happen to be one of those students who can manage to study abroad for two consecutive semesters, studying fall-to-spring tends to be easier than studying spring-to-fall. This is especially true for juniors, who will find they're more likely to be able to extend their stay from a fall semester to their whole junior year rather than trying to add the fall semester of their senior year onto a junior spring semester.
3. You don't have to miss March Madness
4. Start the year with everyone else
As Jayhawks, we all know that we have a great basketball team. This means that the month of March can be an exciting time for all of us basketball fans. If you study abroad during the fall, you get to experience the wonders of another country in the fall semester and miss only a handful of non-conference games. Then once spring semester rolls around you can enjoy all of the most meaningful games of the season, all of the rivalry games and the magic of March Madness stateside with your fellow Jayhawk fanatics.
If you study abroad in the northern hemisphere, the academic year begins in the fall just like it does here in the US. By studying in the fall semester, you get to orient yourself with your host university while other new students are doing the same. When I was in Stirling, I met a lot of people at university-hosted events such as dances, student organization fairs and sport club fairs during the first week new student orientation period, called "Fresher's Week." I also met a lot of people while figuring out the bus system and finding
classrooms, and it was nice to know that there were a large number of students who were learning everything about the university along with me.
5. Enjoy the holidays abroad
One of the most enjoyable aspects of my fall semester was seeing all of the holiday cheer not only in Stirling, but around Europe. In December I was lucky enough to travel to Dublin, Ireland and several cities in Germany and Scotland. In Stirling and Dublin, several of the pubs and restaurants decorated their entire interior in celebration of the holidays. Beautiful
noiday lights were also displayed around every city I visited, just like in the US, including a large Christmas tree in Stirling's city center. In addition, December is the perfect time to see one of the best and most common European traditions: Christmas markets. Originally a German tradition, Christmas markets feature lots of holiday items for sale, delicious food, rides and a fun, festive atmosphere. If you happen to be studying in Europe during the fall, make sure to check out at least one Christmas market.

During the summer of 2014, with the help of the Gilman Scholarship Program, I was given the opportunity to study abroad in the Language & Culture in Buenos Aires Argentina program for six weeks. This was an amazing experience as it allowed me to immerse myself in the culture,the language and the food that Argentina had to offer.

I got the opportunity to try blood sausage (which I will never eat again), and little chocolate candies that shot whiskey into my mouth when I bit into them. I indulged in Argentina's Dulce de Leche, which is a sweet caramel and flavored alcoholic beverage, as well as many other foods. When we traveled to El Tigre, I tasted some of the best meat that I have ever eaten in my life. We were taken on a boat ride, where we went on a tour of the forest and ate an exquisite meal. They prepared salad, pork, steak, sausage brisket, chicken and more, all for us.
Studying abroad is a once in a lifetime, life-changing experience for students in any area of study. As a minority and a first generation college student I thought I would never be able to afford to take an adventure as great as this one, but I did it! There were millions of memorable experiences, and I encourage students to go out and make their own experiences when they study abroad. This program allowed me to not only better my language skills, but also to learn more about my future profession, try lots of new foods, and explore Argentinian culture. With the help of the Gilman Scholarship committee, my family, friends and advisors, I made a dream trip to halfway cross the world possible. I know you can too!

1. Milanesa is an Argentinian meat that tastes similar to an American pork chop. 2. Empanadas: We were able to try ham, beef, cheese, potato and corn empanadas that were all delicious! 3. Medialunas are very similar to American croissants or crescent rolls, but even better! My group could not get enough medialnas and coffee. 4. Waffles & Ice Cream: My roommate and I found this platter while looking for a restaurant that served breakfast food. 5. Pizzas in Argentina were very cheesy and had little to no meat, a huge change from American pizzas. 6. La Picada is a typical Argentinian appetizer dish made of many finger foods. In America, it is like an appetizer sampler platter. It is usually served with wine. 7. Steak and Fries and Pumpkin Sauce Delicious!
8. Hamburger: The Argentinian hamburger has ham, egg, beef, lettuce, cheese and tomato. They are very different than a typical American hamburger.
9. Salad: This is one of the salads that we shared on the night of our last dinner. These salads are self-serve where each individual cuts their own portion.

TOP TEN MYTHS ABOUT STUDY ABROAD
By Andy Larkin
a language
1. I have to study
You don't! Although KU offers a variety of foreign language programs, students can take classes abroad taught in English, even if the country's native language isn't English.
2. My major doesn't allow studying abroad
Although it is a common belief otherwise, every major at KU has an opportunity to study abroad.
3. It's too expensive
Many programs are comparable to a semester in Lawrence, and there are plenty of scholarships offered to students who want to study abroad. And even better, out-of-state students pay in-state rates when they study abroad!
4. I'll miss out
Yes, there are times that you will feel like you are missing out on Lawrence essentials, such as basketball season or a certain trip with your friends. However once students reach their destination they realize how unique and exciting the opportunity is and feel it out-weighs anything missed back home! Besides, when will you have another opportunity to live abroad for months at a time?
5. I can only go to Europe to Study Abroad
This is simply not true. KU does have programs in Europe, but students can study all across Asia, Africa, Australia, Central and South America and more!
Research has shown that students who study abroad are twice as likely to graduate in 4 years than those who don't.
7. It's too late
6. I won't graduate on time
The deadline for most summer and fall programs is March 1st, so there is still plenty of time to apply!
8. It's dangerous
KU works to make sure that students will be in the safest environments possible. Lots of work also goes into student awareness programs about studying abroad, so there is no reason a student should feel unsafe while out of the country.
9. I have to go for a
semester or a year
Although the Office of Study Abroad encourages students to take the leap into a semester program (for your own benefit), there are plenty of summer, winter and even spring break options available for those who feel they can't take the semester plunge!
10. Independent travel results in the same experience
Although travel is a big reason why many students study abroad, the academic experience in a foreign country is an unparalleled benefit to going on a program. Not only will foreign language acquisition become easier (if you study a language), the cultural aspect of study abroad offers an experience to KU students that cannot be mimicked while still in Lärence.
11. It won't be life changing
Volur
Well, this really isn't a myth, but wherever, whenever, and for however long you decide to study abroad, one thing remains constant: studying abroad will forever change your life in more ways than you can imagine!

GREENER TRAVEL
JAYHAWKS ABROAD
By Ben Ale-Ebrahim
Study abroad is a great way to experience the world, get out of your comfort zone, and add an international experience to your KU education. However, for all the advantages study abroad brings, it has the potential to be harmful to the planet. The green travel movement is a growing campaign to lessen the impact of international travel on the earth's ecosystems. From purchasing carbon offsets to lessen your environmental footprint to studying sustainability and eco-tourism when abroad, there are several ways you can make your experience abroad an eco-friendly one. Here are a few sustainability tips from the green travel movement to help make your study abroad experience "greener":
Study environmental issues while abroad
Educating yourself on sustainability issues in your host country is a great way to improve your understanding of the local community and its relation to the natural environment.
Buy locally and eat sustainably
Save money AND limit your environmental impact by avoiding pre-packaged products and focus on buying locally produced goods.
Bike and use public transportation
A good way to stay healthy abroad and lessen your carbon footprint is to use human-powered transport, like bicycles, and if this isn't possible choose public transportation over private.
Carry a reusable water bottle
Remember to pack your favorite Nalgene or Camelbak!
Offset your emissions
If you have the funds to do so, a good way to offset your emissions from air travel is to donate money to organizations like www.carbonfund.org and www. terrapass.com who pledge to plant trees in your name.
Volunteer in your host community
Volunteering in your host community is a good way to make new friends and enhance sustainability during your time abroad.
Don't forget your green habits
Remember to take quick showers,turn off the lights when you leave a room,and recycle whenever possible, just as you would here in Lawrence.
Practice eco-tourism
Get outside! Experience nature by hiking, biking, and kayaking in your host country.
When sightseeing abroad, choose destinations that are closer to your host city instead of those that require multiple flights. You'll spend less time in transit and more time enjoying your trip, you'll experience more of the local culture, get off the beaten path, save money, and lessen your impact on the environment! Win win!
Avoid "travel-sized" items
Stay local

Senate bill to protect off-campus victims of sexual assault passes
Emma Halling (left) and Angela Murphy address questions concerning a bill that would give the University jurisdiction in off-campus sexual assault cases that involve University-affiliated people.
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn
A bill proposed by Student Senate's Graduate Affairs Director Angela Murphy and senior Emma Halling that protects off-campus sexual assault victims passed through rights committee of Student Senate on Wednesday.
The bill is a product of the University's Sexual Assault Task Force. It gives the University jurisdiction to pursue sexual assault cases that involve people affiliated with the University, but don't occur on campus.
The bill, which will change the code of student rights and responsibilities, is an attempt to clarify the existing code and bring the University into compliance with Title IX.
Murphy said this bill is important because the original law did not apply to intimate-partner violence that occurred off campus.
"As co-chair of the task force, I am charged with finding solutions to the problem of sexual assault, and the major problem the University claimed we had was jurisdiction," Murphy said. "Emma and I, and the rest of the task force members, realized we could make the language and code (of the bill) more specif-
ic. It also doesn't apply to intimate-partner violence, which is key to protect students of all genders and classifications."
Murphy and Halling drafted the bill over winter break, and they solicited sponsors last Wednesday.
According to Halling, the hope is that this new bill will also protect students studying abroad.
"So long as that student is a student here, we are obligated under law to protect them," Halling said.
Murphy also announced there will be a sexual Assault Task Force meeting Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the chancellor's suite.
Another bill that passed through the rights committee is the approval of an ROTC student senator position.
Sophormore Garrett Farlow from Tecumseh authored the bill because he felt the ROTC members were underrepresented.
"This is something I've wanted to do since I was ... a freshman here and not even in the program yet," Farlow said. "It's important everyone on this campus is represented fairly. And right now, ROTC students don't have that unifying senator."

What The Kansan's push to become digital-first means for its readers
KANSAN EDITORIAL BOARD
@KansanNews
In a decision made by The Kansan student management team, its advisers and The Kansan Board, the University Daily Kansan will print two days per week instead of four, beginning in fall 2015.
Currently, The Kansan prints four days per week: Monday through Thursday. Once the printing schedule is modified in the fall, the print edition will come out Mondays and Thursdays.
After analyzing years of data and readership statistics both at the University and on
a national level - it is in the best interest of our audience to make this change. We believe the money used to print and distribute Tuesday and Wednesday papers can be allocated more effectively in a way that will best benefit our readers. We aren't changing the news just how you consume it.
While the production of the printed paper will be reduced by half, The Kansan will not cover only half the news. Without the stress and pressure of producing content for four print editions per week. The Kansan staff will focus its resources on breaking news,
multimedia and online-exclusive content, as well as in-depth articles for the two print editions per week for news, arts and features, sports and opinion content.
Keeping up with trends in journalism, The Kansan has taken multiple steps to revamp its online presence. We have a new website that allows us to optimize and organize content in a way that is the most user friendly to our readers. Staying true to our name, The University Daily Kansan, we will still produce content on a daily basis. Our website will continue to be updated
throughout the day and can be counted on as a source for the latest news that affects our campus and beyond.
A top priority at The Kansan is to tell meaningful stories. By utilizing online resources, we can tell better ones. We are able to include videos, photos, galleries, tweets and links in our stories, which will improve the overall reader experience. In an age where smartphones and laptops are always within arm's reach, staying up to date with The Kansan is easier than ever.

Student Housing proposes bill that would ban smoking items
Don't Forget

"We have had several fire alarm situations related to vapor," Wamelink said. "So, independent of the tobacco-free conversation, we've been saying that we probably need to take the step of prohibiting cigarettes and vaping devices in Student Housing."

As it stands now, students living in on-campus housing cannot smoke traditional cigarettes in the building, but electronic cigarettes or vaping devices are allowed. In addition to the proposed ban on tobacco paraphernalia, the SHAB has also talked about prohibiting the smoking of electronic cigarettes and vaping devices.
"Residents could have them in their bag or their purse inside the residence halls," she said.
The University's Department of Student Housing is considering a new proposal that would prohibit all smoking paraphernalia from scholarship halls, Jayhawker Towers and residence halls.
Housing's Associate Director for Student Life Jennifer Wamelink said this proposal does not include cigarettes.
Wamelink said the SHAB, composed of representatives from the different student governing bodies, as well as faculty members, was encouraged by the campus-wide initiative to go tobacco-free.
If the policy is enacted, students would be unable to enter any on-campus housing with items including, but not limited to bowls, pipes, bongs, hookahs, rolling papers, etc., said Daniel Skinner, a Student Housing Advisory Board (SHAB) member.

Skinner, who is also the president of ASHC, said most of the people he's spoken with don't have a problem with the ban on electronic cigarettes, but do take issue with the ban on tobacco paraphernalia.
Both policies are currently being discussed by residents of on-campus housing, especially within the residence organizations like the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), All Scholarship Hall Council (ASHC), and the Jawhawk Towers Tenants Committee.
wait for the campus to do it, or should we go ahead and make that step? That's one of the conversations that we've been having."
Currently, the draft policy proposed by the tobacco-free initiative does not apply to Student Housing, said Ola Faucher, the director of human resources and a member of the tobacco-free steering committee. If the policy were to go into effect, all facilities operated by Student Housing would be exempt.

"In terms of paraphernalia, most of the opinions I've been hearing, especially from students who live in the scholarship halls, is that they aren't very much in favor of banning the paraphernalia," said Skinner, a senior from Wichita. "Most of that is because a lot of people aren't sure that it's enforceable; a lot of them aren't sure that it's necessary."

Student denied entry to Obama's speech
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Junior Freddy Gipp from Lawrence was fortunate enough to be nominated by two different groups to stand on the risers for President Obama's speech two weeks ago, but he didn't even end up attending the event.
The image shows a person wearing a cap and a vest. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an indoor setting with some sort of artwork or display.
First, the Office of Multicultural Affairs nominated Gipp to attend Obama's speech, followed by a nomination from the William Allen White School of Journalism. The Sunday before Obama's speech, Gipp was notified that he had been selected among 11 other students to represent OMA.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Three days later, just one day before the speech, OMA Director Blaine Harding called Gipp and told him that after the mandatory background check, his name came up as a red flag, despite his perfectly clean record.
Gipp said Harding was notified by the Office of Public Affairs.
Freddy Gipp, a junior from Lawrence, was nominated to join President Barack Obama on stage during his Jan. 22 speech. However, Gipp was told he was denied entrance to the event because he didn't pass a background check.
"All I was told is that something came up as a red flag," Harding said. "I would assume the University doesn't know what determined it either, because Secret Service made the call, and they don't have to give up the reason."
Gipp was perplexed, especially since it was referred to as a national security issue.
"It was so quick, and there was nothing," Gipp said. "No word or indication of why 1
wasn't chosen — I never even saw anything in writing."
"He was shocked, too," Gipp said. "He tried his best to find out what happened, but [he] and Blaine were on the same boat, [because] the Secret Service wouldn't release any information."
Gipp said he went to talk to Dan McCarthy, academic adviser in the School of Journalism.
Gipp only grew more confused; he had never been in trouble with the law and had passed background checks before. Additionally, both of his parents work for the government.
Gipp is also involved here on campus. Just this past December, he received the Man of Merit award. He's a member of Alpha Tau Omega, and has served as both vice president and president of the First Nations Student Association, where he eventually set up a panel to obtain education equality for Native Americans.
"This was a once-in-a lifetime opportunity," Gipp said. "To sit behind the standing president and listen to him speak is something you can tell your future kids, friends, and family about; then, all of a sudden, [it was] taken away."
"My main question is, what if I want to work for the government some day?" Gipp said.
Although Gipp still wants to know the reason behind why he was denied attending the speech, there is an even bigger problem that remains. Harding said he believes he should let the speech incident go and focus on the bigger issue: his future.
"Freddy has done so many
things with the Native community." Harding said. "If he wants a federal job, is this going to stop him? There's only so much digging
he can do when it comes to the Secret Service, $ ^{77} $ Harding said.

Bob Dotson to receive notable journalism award
[Name]
Bob Dotson, a university alumnus and NBC correspondent will receive the William Allen White Foundation National Citation on April 23. Dotson is most known for his series "The American Story with Bob Dotson."

Dotson added the award is particularly special to him because his grandfather, Paul Bailey, lived in Hiawatha and was the first on either side of his family to earn a college degree and graduate from KU Law in 1910.
University alumnus and NBC News correspondent Bob Dotson will receive the William Allen White Foundation National Citation on April 23 at the University.
The William Allen White Foundation award is a medal meant for journalists who represent "outstanding journalistic service," according to the School of Journalism's website. The inscription on the back of the award reads, "An American journalist who exemplifies William Allen White ideals in service to his profession and his community."
Dotson graduated from the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications in 1968 and received a
"I've won a few awards in my life, but never anything like this." Dotson said.
master's degree in film from Syracuse. He is best known for his ongoing series "The American Story with Bob Dotson," which focuses on ordinary Americans and each of their unique stories.
After graduating, Dotson spent two years working in Oklahoma City at WKYTV, currently known as KFOR, where he began "The American Story." He then started working for NBC News, where he has been for 40 years. Dotson realized that instead of mindlessly going out and getting a story to bring back, it needed to be solely about the individual being interviewed.
He said journalists are in the business of storytelling, and the story is always about the subject.
A humble Philadelphia police officer, Bill Sample, is an example one of these stories.
"I found that it was more interesting not to just [cover] politics and hot issues, but interesting people who look like us and talk like us," Dotson said.
Sample made a habit of going to a local children's hospital and would ask chronically ill, physically
challenged and abused children to tell him of a dream they've always had. He would then make those dreams come true. Dotson said Sample started out dressing up as Batman and having snowball fights. Eventually, he was able to take children to Disney World.
"I looked for the universal traits that unified all of us," Dotson said. "Their stories were fascinating; immediately, everyone watching realized they were exactly like us."
Dotson kickstarted his career in journalism by producing a documentary entitled "Through the Looking Glass, Darkly," a film about black history during a time when it was not discussed, or even acknowledged, by media.

Dotson is also a New York Times bestselling author with his book, "American Story: A Lifetime Search for Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things," which is similar to his "American Story" series.
Through that, he discovered that audience could closely relate to the stories of other average Americans.

Gay political activist to lead Dole study group
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
This semester, the Dole Institute of Politics will hold a study group that will discuss and learn about the divergence of culture and politics, hosted by a man who has plenty of experience with the subject.
jimmy LaSalvia is a Dole fellow who will lead the group this semester. As a gay conservative political activist, he struggled to figure out how he fit into politics. It took many years of unique experiences for him come to terms with his place in the political world.
LaSalvia was politically
active in college and, shortly afterward, as he was coming to terms with his sexual orientation, took himself out of politics and accepted a job at an opera house.
"I was a gay conservative from a red state," he said. "A traditional path in politics certainly wasn't available to me. I wasn't going to get elected to anything or any high-level management position, so I built a life in Louisville, Ky."
In 2004, LaSalvia re-entered politics in a different role. When Bush's re-election campaign wanted to place anti-gay marriage laws on the state ballots, he became re-engaged in politics.
Upon his re-entry, LaSalvia served in an organization called Log Cabin Republicans as grassroots outreach director, then director of programs and policy.
Soon after, he founded GOProud, an organization that advocates for gay, conservative republicans.
"Being a national voice for gay conservatives and being 'Gay for Mitt' in the last campaign showed me a lot about how politics is impacted by cultural issues and the political realities of it. It also showed me how elections and parties and our politics are impacted by cultural realities," he said. "Political realities
and cultural realities are very intertwined."
"Being a national voice for gay conservatives ... showed me a lot about how politics is impacted by cultural issues and the political realities of it.
JIMMY LASALVIA Dole fellow
Currently, LaSalvia spends his time talking about cultural issues and his views as a conservative gay man. When he's not hosting the Dole study
group, he will be working on a book about his experiences in the political world.
Students, staff and community members can speak with LaSalvia in the Dole study group. "All Politics is Personal—A Gay Conservative Looks at the Culture Wars."
"LaSalvia brings a very unique perspective, not only as a gay conservative activist, but as someone who has had experience on the campaign trails and in elections and a real political climate," said Eric Pahls, a research assistant and study groups coordinator at the Dole Institute.
Starting Feb. 18 and
continuing every Wednesday for the next six weeks, the study group will talk and learn about cultural issues including gay rights, gender, religion, media, partisanship and more.
To give participants a good perspective on each week's issue, LaSalvia will invite guests from in or around the political system who can speak on their experiences.
The group, which will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays at the Dole Institute of Politics, is open to staff, students and community members of all political affiliations.
Anti-Common Core bill hits state Legislature
- Edited by Callie Byrnes
KITTY TANKARD
@kit10tank
A bill proposing to ban the current Common Core teaching standards was reintroduced to the Kansas legislature this session.
The proposed bill raises questions of the standards' effectiveness and the possible repercussions for teachers' education methods. This is the third time a bill fighting Common Core has been introduced in Kansas. Many of the other 43 states that adopted the standards have similar bills regarding the dismantling of Common Core.
The Common Core is defined on the official Common Core Standards Initiative website as "a set of
clear college- and career-ready standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts/literacy and mathematics."
Sen. Forrest Knox (R-Altoona) wants to ban Common Core standards in Kansas, claiming the Common Core grants the federal government too much control in the classroom, according to The Topeka Capital-Journal.
Jim Ellis, associate professor in the School of Education and former president of the Kansas Association of Science Teachers, said there are many misconceptions about Common Core.
The standards do not dictate curriculum, but "are a description of what
we are looking for as far as knowledge and ability," he said.
Ellis said although the Kansas State Department of Education is conducting workshops to assist districts in meeting the standards, local districts and teachers still control what is taught in their classrooms. The new standards are more concerned with the outcome.
"These standards call for a much higher bar than past
Because the standards were adopted in 2010, a majority of the student body at the University graduated from high schools that were in the process of implementing the Common Core, although the students were most likely not aware of it.
standards have, and that's a good thing," he said.
As part of that effort, students in the University's School of Education are given information about the Common Core in their courses. Students are taught how to create units and lessons to develop their future students, Ellis said.
"You get to base curriculum off of (Common Core)," she said. "You get to create it."
Emily Kerr, a junior from Leawood, is a teaching student at the University.
"The teachers said we are
The recent controversy over Common Core standards has not affected the way she has learned to teach, and she doesn't expect it to in the future.
going to be fine," Kerr said. "We have nothing to compare it to, because it's all we've known."
Though teachers and unions have debated the merits of Common Core, Ellis said overall there is not much controversy among teaching professionals.
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of Undergraduate Admissions, said the issue has become political because of the different assessments and expectations that are "put out there."
"There's a variety of different ways to teach, and they all accomplish the same goals," she said. "There's more than one way to do it."

Lee's sequel should be investigated more
Matthew Clough @mcloughsofly
W when the sequel to "To Kill a Mockingbird"
was announced for its July release, literary lovers rejoiced. However, despite the hysteria and jubilation surrounding the announcement, audiences should realize the publication of Harper Lee's next novel might not be central to the author's true desires. The motives behind the work's publication should be further investigated before its release
Lee is one of the most obscure figures in American literature to date. After the publication of her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 1960, she faded into the background, doing everything she could to avoid the spotlight. She never published another novel and has seldom granted requests for public appearances or interviews. She is reputed to have remarked to a cousin that after "Mockingbird" had reached high success, there would be nowhere for her to go but down.
However, on Feb. 3, fans reveled in anticipation when publisher HarperGollins announced that a sequel, "Go Set a Watchman," would be released this July. The sequel was written before "Mockingbird," but was put aside
and forgotten until recently, and many are asking why the manuscript didn't surface until now. The legitimacy of its publication 55 years later may be questionable.
Lee has long held that she does not want to go through the publicity surrounding the publication of a novel again. The immediate success of "Mockingbird" was unimaginable to her and caused her to disappear from the public eye. She quietly retired to New York City after its publication, where she spent much of her adult life. It seems unusual she would decide to publish another work now.
1930 - 2015
This becomes even stranger considering Lee suffered a stroke in 2007. According to close friend Rev. Dr. Thomas Lane Butts and The Atlantic, the traumatic event left her 95 percent blind and somewhat deaf, with a faulty short-term memory. Whether these assessments of the severity are accurate, the fact remains that she has resided in an assisted-living facility back in her hometown of Monroeville, Ala., since the stroke. Those against the release of the sequel suggest that Lee's state compromises her ability to give full consent on publishing the sequel.
ROB CARR/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oddly enough, the news of the sequel's publication comes only three months after Lee's sister, Alice, passed
Harper Lee, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," smiles during a ceremony honoring the four new members of the Alabama Academy of Honor at the Capitol in Montgomery, Ala. Publisher HarperCollins announced Tuesday that "Go Set a Watchman," a novel Lee completed in the 1950s and put aside, will be released July 14. It will be her second published book.
somewhat questionable, as Lee is now more vulnerable to those who may not necessarily consider her best interest.
away, according to The Washington Post. Alice was responsible for her sister's legal and financial affairs for much of her life. Keeping this in mind, the timing of the announcement seems
Granted, a fair number of these developments may be
coincidental. Lee has said in a statement that she is "humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years," according to the Guardian. The difficulty lies in assessing how much of her statement is representative of what she really wants, given her condition.
Undoubtedly, this is a time for celebration within the literary community. The publication of "Mockingbird" had such a deep and profound effect on America, shaping the way society viewed race relations. As such, Lee became one of the most celebrated authors in American literature for the admirable voice she claimed when writing about such a difficult topic.
A new novel from Harper Lee would be of the utmost importance in the American literary tradition and would be quintessential in provoking discussion and new ideas among readers. It would be a shame for such a valuable work of history to remain unknown to the public, but it is important to preserve Lee's wishes by verifying that she does truly support the novel's publication.

Classes that require a lot of outside work warrant more than 3 credits
Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
Students should receive more than three credit hours for classes that
More than three credit hours for classes that require a large amount of out-of-class work. Aside from the standard amount of homework and studying, classes that require students to participate in research on campus, work in a campus organization or do community service should earn more credit hours.
According to an article posted by College Parents of America, full-time students should spend roughly 30 hours per week studying.
Add this to time spent in class and students are practically working full-time jobs by going to school.
Students may also work part-time jobs. Students who are required to participate in demanding out-of-class requirements can feel overwhelmed, especially if they have to add part-time jobs to their schedules as well.
For several liberal arts and science and education courses, participating in research on campus is mandatory. Psychology 104 requires students to have 11 research participation points to pass the class. Depending on the study, participation can take up to an hour. Although students can become aware of research on campus this way, they should receive an extra credit hour as compensation.
Along with research participation, any course that
requires students to work in an on-campus organization should receive an additional hourly credit for time spent. For example, some journalism classes require students to work shifts at KUJH-TV or the University Daily Kansan.
These types of organizations can take up a lot of a student's time, acting like part-time jobs, yet these students aren't being paid to do the work. By participating in organizations like these, students gain real-world experience; however, students should also receive additional hourly credits, depending on the amount of time spent helping these organizations
Certain applied behavioral science courses, like 310: Building Healthy Communities, require students to participate in community service to pass the class. This is a great way to get involved
outside of the University; however, students shouldn't be required to do so unless they will receive additional credit.
If these types of classes were designated four credit hours, students would have a better understanding of the amount of work they have to put in to pass the class. They could plan their schedules accordingly.
When it comes down to it, everyone could benefit from this change. Professors could expect students to understand class requirements before enrolling in the course, and students may be much more willing to participate in research or in a campus organization if they received the benefit of an additional credit hour.

"I agree with that, especially for psychology classes. Like Psychology 104, it only meets for one hour a week, but you still don't get credit for the amount of work you put in."

TRENDING We Are The World' celebrates 30 years
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS BY
HANDS ACROSS AMERICA
On Jan. 28, 1985, at A&M Recordings Studios in Hollywood, following the American Music Awards, more than 40 artists gathered to record a song Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson had written to raise awareness of widespread, life-threatening poverty in Africa.

COLIN REMICK
@Crems4
Thirty years ago when Eddie Murphy was king of the box office and a jean jacket with an assortment of buttons pinned on was a sign of coolness, "We Are The World" was released. The song spins a story of hope, togetherness and charity for those in need.
"We Are The World" was, in actuality, a historic venture of great artists coming together to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. Singers and performers getting together under a collective group name to record music to benefit those in need was an idea that had been slowly growing in popularity in the late '70s and early'80s.
Few times in history have we seen congregations of characters and heroes join forces as they did in "We Are The World." The bill boasts iconic names such as Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner and Billy Joel — and those are all just within the opening verse.
The name of the group was "USA for Africa," and it successfully raised more than $50 million for humanitarian aid in one year. The song topped the U.S. charts and was a wild commercial success, inspiring listeners to become involved in the cause on a massive scale.
Aside from funds raised and messages sent, an underlying takeaway for this event was that the genres of rock 'n' roll and pop music were not merely tools of a young generation to have, fun and party. They could also be a driving force for good in the world. In the same decade, massive concert events such as Farm Aid and Live Aid raised millions of dollars for their respective charities.
The legacy of "We Are The World" is that its important to realize when you buy a CD or a single on iTunes, you can oftentimes make a difference. Although you may not often see where the proceeds from CD sales are going, it's important to remember how much power you as the listener and consumer of music have.

In a time of selfies and celebrity gossip, "We Are The World" is remembered as a decent song with a great message, sung by people motivated by human need rather than individual fame.

KC Smoke Burgers opens downtown Lawrence location with satisfactory reception
A sandwich is being lifted above a plate of fries and a bread roll.
KC Smoke Burgers, 1008 Massachusetts, serves each burger with a personal on-plate smoker. The new restaurant has more than 20 burger options.

THE PLACE
With the competitive nature of Massachusetts Street comes a constantly evolving lineup of restaurants in downtown Lawrence, making it easy for new restaurants to fly under the radar. If you haven't been downtown for a bite to eat in a while, a new restaurant called KC Smoke Burgers has opened, located at 1008 Massachusetts Street.
This is the second location for the adolescent burger franchise, the first of which is located in Kansas City, Mo. I dined in at the Lawrence location around 6 p.m. Monday night; the restaurant was busy, but I was seated within minutes.
The moment you step through the door you understand the name of the establishment due to the strong aroma of smoke. The venue is relatively small with limited seating but spacious enough you don't feel like you are eating shoulder to shoulder with another party.

Fire Cheese Smoke Burger had pepper jack cheese and jalapeños, both of which came with fries. The burgers were delivered to the table still inside the individual
smokers used to cook them, which was a nice touch. The burgers are half-pound patties served with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and mayo in addition to the specialty toppings available. Both burgers had a strong smoke flavor and were quite juicy. The American cheese and bacon on the Bacon Cheese Smoke burger were sadly a bit overshadowed by the intense smoky flavor of the patty, but were nice, subtle additions to a good burger. The Fire Cheese Smoke Burger had a more distinct flavor due to the nature of spicy peppers. I would classify the spiciness of the burger as mild
to moderate. Both burgers were quite tasty and very filling. The fries were exceptionally good — golden-brown and crispy.
THE FINAL OPINION
Overall, the dining experience at KC Smoke Burgers was a positive one. The food is good, but not necessarily anything to write home about. KC Smoke Burgers is definitely a solid addition to the already impressive lineup of downtown Lawrence food options. If you like your burgers smoked, KC Smoke Burgers is the place for you.

COBURN FROM PAGE 1A
KANSAN: Can you elaborate on your inspiration for "The Hereditary Estate"?
COBURN: It was kind of an inspiration that's happened over the course of about five or six years. Basically, my work and research revolves around the family photo album. [It] is one component of this infrastructure that supports the American dream. What got me interested in this is my own family. When I was a ... teenager, these truths about my family history started to come out — stories from my parents, from my mother, from my father.
My mother, her sister and my grandmother were victims of extreme domestic violence. I didn't know this until I was a teenager. Also, my father had a brother [who] committed suicide. There was this kind of generational, cyclical alcoholism that had happened through my family history. It was interesting to me because that never appeared in my own family photo album. What I saw in my own family photo album was a series of happy moments. So I guess youd say that a lot of my work is about creating a supplement to the family photo album that tells a more complete story about the sometimes-troubling nature of family.
COBURN: Making these photographs has become very cathartic. It's been very therapeutic. All of the photographs that I made for the book are staged recreations of memories and fantasies that I had on my journey to adulthood. Some of them are memories that my parents may have had that they've relayed to me, some of them are my own childhood memories. So I'm restaging these events, and I'm having to do that in concert with my parents and my immediate family.
KANSAN: Because you never experienced these issues until you were a teenager, how has this book affected you?
I'm working with them very closely in this act of theater, this moment that we're recreating. During that process, discussions happen, conversation happens, we talk about things that we've maybe never talked about before.
KANSAN: Can you describe the catharsis that you've experienced?
In that sense, it's been a very positive thing. It is about my family, but I hope that it's accessible. I want it to be accessible to most people. In an ideal world, I would think of these as somehow referencing this kind of universal experience, something that everyone can identify with.
THE HEREDITARY ESTATE DANIEL W. COBURN
COBURN: It's really more about communication, and I think that there was a lack of communication. I think through the act of just being honest with each other about the things that have happened in their past, and how that has affected us [is helpful]. I think that there is this passing of values from generation to generation. If we can confront those things and stop them, then that's a good thing; that's a positive thing.
THE HEREDITARY ESTATE DANIEL W. COBURN
MARCO SCHNEIDER
For instance, I'll photograph a landscape that, for me, represents a certain psychological state. Or I'll maybe photograph someone else that's in my life, maybe a significant other, and that person becomes a metaphor for maybe my grandparent or something like that. I'm interested in making photographs that can become icons or symbols of the human existence.
KANSAN: Did you have a specific process to create your photographs?
COBURN: Yeah, they're all different. I think my work has become more and more abstract over time. I originally started by making very direct portraits of my parents and my brother and his children, but I've allowed myself to take some liberties with some abstraction.
KANSAN: One of the photos was of a blurred woman, leaning back in a rocking chair. Can you tell me about that photo?
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
COBURN: Sure, that's my mom.
The blurring that happens in that image, and in other images where I make a double exposure, I want the work to be about my family, but I also want it to be about the medium of photography. I really think it's important for photographers to engage with the history of the medium. For me, that work is also about spirituality. There's this history of photography and spirituality.
For instance, late-19th-century photographers were actually
con men [who] would convince people that they could actually take pictures of ghosts or their deceased relatives. So that blurring that happens, I think, references that history of spiritualism in photography.
KANSAN: Has your experience from this book had any affect on how you teach your students?
COBURN: I think it's important that no matter what type of creative you are — whether you're a writer or artist or photographer — that it's important to see the value in documenting the things that are close to you, because those are the things
that you know intimately and you understand very intimately. Sometimes, I think it's easy to discount personal issues as not being important. But in actuality, I think [discounting personal issues] is very important, and sometimes it's almost disingenuous to remove yourself from your immediate environment and not show the world what's important to you, personally. I encourage my students to remain true to themselves and to have some sort of integrity in what they choose to photograph and choose to make.

'Jupiter Ascending' is a long-winded dazzler

W hatever narrative problems the Wachowskis
("The Matrix" trilogy, "Speed Racer," "Cloud Atlas") sometimes stumble through, there's no denying their visual style pops right off the screen with impressive special effects and thrilling action. Their space opera, "Jupiter Ascending," suffers some issues in the story too, but man, what a spectacle-filled feast for the
Mainly there's too much royal intrigue coupled with explaining the mythology of the film's world, primarily during the less engaging second act, as well as one plot of betrayal after another. The exposition about this sci-fi universe is interesting enough, but a family of pretentious nobility being entitled pricks doesn't make for particularly compelling villainy amidst the action and adventure.
As it turns out, Earth is just a crop of humans waiting to be harvested by its owners. The Abrasax family owns Earth and many other civilized planets, all inherited by the three royal children following the queen's death. However, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a poor girl cleaning toilets in Chicago, is the genetic reincarnation of the queen and thus rightful heir to the Abrasax throne.
When the strongest Abrasax, Balem (Eddie Redmayne), learns of this challenge to his power, he orders her death before she is discovered. In
It's clear from Caine's introductory scene, when he tracks Jupiter and gets into a firefight with the opposing mercenaries while flying around on his gravity-surfing boots, that the action mechanics in this movie are designed in seriously cool ways that deliver the awesomeness. Unfortunately, the movie hits its peak early on as Jupiter and Caine air-surf around the Chicago skyline under fire from alien ships, until he commandeers one and must outmaneuver and take down the others.
comes Channing Tatum as human-wolf hybrid hunter Caine, hired to save her and take her to the other Abrasax brother, Titus (Douglas Booth).
This is one of those truly exhilarating, edge-of-your-seat sequences that leaves a blazing imprint in your memory. Maybe the feverish pace and recognizable setting getting torn up make it so effective, but no subsequent set piece reaches such intense heights, probably because they get a little bogged down cross-cutting between multiple characters in different struggles.
The Wachowskis' screenplay a number of cheesy beats throughout, but their direction manages to keep them from sticking out most of the time. There's a lower degree of some "The Fifth Element" like humor and oddity, primarily in a scene going through a galactic equivalent of the DMV, and frequently messy exposition. The first act excites tremendously (outside of the cliché opening), but the second act loses momentum as they get off Earth and get tangled up in the Abrasax clan's schemes. The final act steps back up to bat with a solid swing at the fences, hitting a lively space battle that drives forward to a charged final

As gorgeous and charming as Kunis is, she doesn't quite offer depth or substantial emotion. Tatum makes the most of his silly, almost elvish, look, and pulls off an honorable and intimidating warrior with verve. Redmayne, fresh off his Oscar-nominated performance as Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything," totally lacks subtlety as he overacts, trying to chew scenery with angry whispering and tantrum shouting.

Still, "Jupiter Ascending" is a big, bold and original piece of extravagant science fiction full of weird creatures, advanced technology, vivid environments, explosive space battles and awesome set pieces within a detailed world of its own, refreshing to watch despite its faults. The Wachowski inject it with some philosophical ideas as well, but those lack the kind of thought-provoking weight the duo is known for. At least they can paint it all with a shining gleam of refined, colorful fun.

Wichita commune leader's murder trial begins
ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press
WICHITA — A self-proclaimed seer convinced young mothers to leave their families and join him in a communal lifestyle where they lived off the insurance payouts from its dead members, a prosecutor told jurors Wednesday.
PASSER OF THE CITY COURT
Opening statements in the trial of Daniel U. Perez outlined the group's wanderings over a 15-year span that crossed several states, and even Mexico, marked by sexual violence and the deaths of six people.
Perez, 55, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder in the 2003 drowning death of 26-year-old Patricia Hughes at Angels' Landing, the group's compound in the Wichita suburb of Valley Center. He also is charged with rape, sodomy, criminal threat, lying on life insurance applications, making false statements on credit applications and sexual exploitation of a child.
"These girls feared him and believed his stories about his age, his seer capabilities," Parker said. "Because when in fact he said to them, 'If I want somebody dead, they will be,' — in their observations that is exactly what happened."
Deputy District Attorney Kim Parker told jurors Perez convinced young mothers that he could see the future. He claimed he was 100 years old and had survived because of sexual relations with young girls.
Perez is charged only in Hughes' death, but prosecutors laid out a pattern of seemingly accidental deaths whenever the group — which lived a lavish communal lifestyle — was running low on funds. The dead members left large
insurance policies naming others in the group as beneficiaries; Hughes had a $1.25 million policy.
Among the other deaths was a 2001 plane crash that killed a group member, her boyfriend and her 12-year-old daughter. Hughes' husband was killed in 2006 when a carjack failed and he was crushed. A 2008 traffic accident killed another group member who had legal custody of Hughes' orphaned daughter.
Defense attorney Alice Osburn told jurors Perez did not kill Hughes and that the other deaths of commune members were coincidental and thoroughly investigated. She noted the group shared as a family the $4 million in insurance payments, and Perez did "not get a dime" as beneficiary.
She portrayed the commune as an "open home" where people had the freedom to do what they wanted to do.
Hughes and Perez were best friends who had known each other since they were little, Osburn said. Hughes moved in with him in 1996 and helped him after Perez fled before sentencing in a child sex case in Beesville, Texas, which his attorney contends he did not commit.
Investigators initially believed Hughes drowned while trying to rescue her 2-year-old daughter from a swimming pool.
"Patricia was the matriarch of this group, she got it started," Osburn said. "She befriended the women. She is the catalyst for everything."
But in 2011, a woman who had been 12 years old at the time of Hughes' death told investigators the drowning had been staged. She said during a pretrial hearing that Hughes kissed her daughter goodbye
and reassured another child that she would return from the dead.
The woman, whom The Associated Press isn't identifying because she says she is a victim of sexual assault, has said Perez and Hughes told her to wait with Hughes' daughter. She said she heard a splash and a scream, and that Perez's forearms were wet and he was out of breath. He told her to wait 20 minutes before going to the pool and getting into it with the toddler.
ctandtus rn!
The woman also said he told her to then call the police and tell investigators Hughes fell and hit her head while trying to rescue her daughter.
Osburn tried to cast doubt on the claims of group members, saying they didn't come forward with accusations until authorities began investigating the group.

Daniel Perez enters a Sedgwick County courtroom during the first day of his murder trial Wednesday in Wichita. Perez, 55, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder in the 2003 drowned death of 26-year-old Patricia Hughes at Angels' Landing, the group's compound in the Wichita suburb of Valley Center. He is also is charged with lying on life insurance applications, rape, sodomy, criminal threat, making false statements on credit applications and sexual exploitation of a child.

COMMENTARY
Super Bowl displayed everything to love, hate
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
As the red, white and blue confetti settled on the University of Phoenix Stadium field after Sunday's Super Bowl, it signaled the final glimpse of the tumultuous season which had preceded it. But speckled throughout the Glendale, Ariz. arena, some of the 70,000 spectators remained quiet and patiently waited.
They wanted one more game-winning drive from quarterback Tom Brady. One more catch from Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse. One more Cinderella story, just as prominent as that of the Patriots' Malcolm Butler. Some would even settle for one more fight as the final seconds on the season ticked down.
In many ways, the game itself represented what was a tumultuous season for the league. The NFL was put into the limelight for its mishandling of player's off-field conduct this year, especially in domestic violence cases. League commissioner Roger Goodell made an effort to increase player safety with new policies, which ultimately failed in multiple instances in 2014.
The Super Bowl placed the immaculate receptions, the big hits and the scandals on center stage, which enthralled fans, but it also displayed the side of the sport which we despise.
In the first half, Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril was sent off the field and was diagnosed with a concussion; he didn't return. Good progress for the NFL on head injuries on the national stage, right? Wrong.
In the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, the NFL again made national headlines for the Patriots' mishandling of game balls, in what is now being called "Deflategate." Though investigation is ongoing, Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Tom Brady became the men responsible for the under-inflated balls.
in the fourth quarter, Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman took a shot from Kam Chancelor after a 21-yard catch on 3rd-and-14. It was a crucial catch, but the millions of viewers saw it. Edelman appeared to be concussed. He kept playing. A few plays later, he came down with the game-winning touchdown, finishing with 109 yards.
On Sunday, Belichick held up his fourth Lombardi trophy, tying Chuck Noll for most by a NFL head coach. Brady scooped up a handful of Super Bowl records — most completions, touchdowns and third Most Valuable Player award — while also leading his team back from a 10-point deficit on two exhalating touchdown drives in the fourth-quarter.
Deflategate forgotten.
Player safety forgotten. Despite all of it, the Super Bowl became the most-watched television program of all-time, according to NBC.
Good or bad, people are watching football, regardless of any disdain viewers might have with the league — on-or-off the gridiron. That's how the NFL rolls, and we can't get enough of it.
Player safety forgotten.

16-point run surges Kansas to victory over Texas Tech
JILL STIVERSON/KANSAN

@dmantheman2011
Kansas did not need a last-second shot like in Lubbock, Texas, two weeks ago. The Jayhawks used a 16-0 run, over a 6-45 period in the second half after trailing 53-46, that led Kansas (13-10, 4-6) to a 71-67 win against Texas Tech (13-9, 3-7) Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks have won four of their past five games and fourth straight game against Texas Tech in the series.
Both teams would go back and forth in the first half, as Texas Tech guard Amber Battle got things going with a three-pointer. Kansas would then go on a 5-0 run to lead 5-3 but Texas Tech would answer with another three-pointer by forward Davo Olabode.
Kansas would then lead by seven points in the first half before Texas Tech took a brief 33-32 lead, but layups by senior guard Asia Boyd and freshman guard Lauren Aldridge put Kansas up 36-33 at the half.
"It was a tough game and we battled for it," Texas Tech coach Candi Whitaker said.
Texas Tech would make a charge at Kansas in the second half, going on a 12-0 run and leading 53-46 with 10:35 remaining as coach Bonnie Henrickson would call a timeout. A three-pointer by freshman guard Chayla Cheadle would get the run going for Kansas. Senior forward Chelsea Gardner would then score the next eight points to continue the run.
"They made a run, we made a run, but we forced tough two-pointers." Henrickson said. "Give them credit. Battle
didn't shoot it last year. It was a dogfight tonight."
The Red Raiders would get within four points within the last minute of the game, but key Kansas free throws sealed the season sweep against Texas Tech.
"I just came in and focused in practice to get this win," Gardner said.
Kansas shot 23 of 47 from the field for 49 percent, seven of 17 from beyond the arc for 41 percent and were 18-of-23 at the free-throw line for 78 percent. Kansas was 12-of-14 from the line in the second half.
"Coach Henrickson just wanted us to be more
aggressive and have more energy," Boyd said.
Four players in doublefigures for Kansas led by Gardner's 19 points. Cheadle added 13 points, senior guard Natalie Knight had 12 points and Aldridge and Boyd each had 10.
Texas Tech was led by sophomore guard Ivonne CookTaylor with a game-high 22 points.

In a pinch, Beaty finds speed and length in Texas

Coach David Beaty explains the talent KU football signed for this upcoming season. The Jayhawks landed 24 letters of intent on Wednesday.
DAN HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
Any队 that fires its head coach in late September of the previous season and ultimately finishes (3-9, 1-8) has holes to fill.
It's just that Kansas' holes might be even bigger than most, given the recent happenings within the program.
With the graduation of 21 seniors off last year's roster, running back Brandon Bourbon transferring to nearby Washburn, and wide receiver Nigel King throwing his name into the 2015 NFL Draft, new head coach David Beaty — hired Dec. 5 — had a day sh of two months to get cracking.
"You're drinking from a firehose for a while there," Beaty said of the chaotic 61-day stretch in which he accepted the coaching position, hired
his entire staff and scrambled to solidify 24 letters of intent from often mercurial 18- to 20-year-olds. "You're managing a lot of things."
So in a bit of pinch at a Kansas football program that doesn't exactly recruit itself in a coaching limbo, Beaty and his burgeoning staff did what they did best: recruit the homeland.
The funny thing, though, was as desperate as Beaty and staff may have seemed in the moment, thanks to his deep-rooted Texas ties, the phone worked both ways.
"I think probably the biggest thing for us was familiarity of players," Beaty said. "Most of these (coaches) have a background in the state of Texas."
the relationships in the state (helped)," Beaty said. "Guys just picking up and calling."
On one end of the phone a high-school coach connected to Beaty — or one of his staff members — and would call with the name of an overlooked recruit. Beaty would answer with two conditions.
"We said we needed to improve our profile from a length perspective as well as speed perspective," Beaty said Wednesday as he announced his 2015 recruiting class. "It's a long, fast league now."
"We can't make them taller," he continued, "but we can make them bigger."
One of those late-stage additions that was both long and fast and Texan, a Jan. 31 commitment, came kudos to assistant coach Kume Kubiak.

After a huge win against Iowa State on Big Monday, the Jayhawks travel to Oklahoma State to take on the Cowboys. Kansas defeated Oklahoma State 67-57 earlier this season.
Kansas now sits atop the Big 12 by two games in front of both West Virginia and Iowa State. The Cowboys are 14-7 on the season with a 4-5 Big 12 record.
Phil Forte leads the Cowboys with 17.3 points per game, adding 49 steals on the season. Forte's ability to knock down the open jumper has given the Jayhawks trouble in recent memory as he scored 18 points in their last matchup.
Le'Bryan Nash is second on the team in scoring with 16.9 points per game, averaging 5.7 rebounds per game. Oklahoma State has dropped four of their past six games.
Forte has led the Cowboys in scoring, in their previous three games. Leyton Hammonds is the only Cowboy to lead the team in scoring other than Forte or Nash this season.
The Cowboys have given the layhawks the most trouble over the past seasons, splitting the season series over the previous two seasons. Sophomore Brannen Greene leads the layhawks with a 51 percent field goal percentage from behind the three-point line.
Greene averages 6.2 points
per game and is shooting 62.5 percent from behind the arc in Big 12 play this season. Fellow sophomore Frank Mason III has scored ten points and recorded two plus assists for 19 straight games this season.
Oklahoma State ranks seventh in the Big 12, allowing only 59.6 points per contest,
while scoring 68.2 points per game which ranks eighth amongst the conference. While sitting atop the conference standings, Kansas is eighth in the conference with a 7.9-scoring margin.
The jayawks lead the Big 12 in three-point field goal percentage, shooting 40 percent from the behind the line
Oklahoma State-comes in at number seven, shooting 33.5 percent.
Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. is coming off of his second 20-point performance of the season, putting up 20 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Selden's shooting from the field has improved as of late.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who did KU beat in this year's Challenge?
A: Florida
---
KU Athletics
Big 12/SEC Challenge is not in Kansas' best interest
THE MORNING BREW
According to CBS and ESPN, the format for the Big 12/SEC Challenge will be juristically altered for the 2016 season. Due to maximum exposure to the event, which usually takes place in late November or early December, games will now be played and both conferences have been told to leave an open date in their schedules for late January or early February.
Why the change? Two reasons.
Why the change? The 120 course
One is TV ratings. This "challenge" is played the same week as the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge and both the SEC and Big 12 think they've lost viewership when two more popular conferences square off in prime time.
Two, having these games in late January or early February puts them in prime time position on TV so whatever day it is on, that game will be the day's attraction.
Nick Couzin
@ncouz
Now, many coaches from both conferences have voiced their opinions and are not happy.
They have every right to be upset. With the placement of this format, games will occur in the middle of each conference season. That means each Big 12/ SEC coach will have to gamepla out of conference when they normally wouldn't.
There are negative scenarios that could occur with this change. A team, like Kansas, has to travel mid Big 12 season down to Gainesville, Fla., or Athens, Ga., they would have to return two days later to Allen Fieldhouse to play their next Big 12 opponent. Why
would anyone want to do that to any team mid conference season? Kansas basketball coach Bill Self has said it's always hard to take your team's focus on their rival opponent and have them change it to focus on an entirely different conference.
THE BREW
The only way this works out in the long run is having the top teams play on their home courts. Have Kansas play in Allen Fieldhouse against a closer opponent in Missouri. There should
be no reason why Kansas or any other midwest B1 2 team like Iowa State should have to travel down south. It messes with a team's daily routine as well as their overall psyche.
Unless the new Big 12/ SEC challenge format consists of close proximity games like Kansas-Mizzou, there is no other reason to switch it, TV exposure aside. The Kansas-Florida game in this year's Challenge was off the charts, but only time will tell if the Challenge will return to its old ways after next season's experiment with changing dates.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Are the Atlanta Hawks a real title contender?
Sean Collins
@seanzie 3
"NO"
The Atlanta Hawks put together one of the most impressive
win streaks in recent NBA history beside the Miami Heat's 27-game win streak in 2012-13. The Hawks' 19-game win streak was snapped Monday night, losing to the
Eastern Conference semi-finals, it could be assumed that Kyle Korver would run off a screen if a three were needed. Unfortunately, you can bet LeBron James will be checking him. So, what do you do? Run Paul Milspoff a screen?
It's hard for me to picture the Hawks defeating the Chicago Bulls, Cavs, Washington Wizards or Toronto Raptors four times in a series. All those
"... THEY DON'T HAVE A "GO-TO" PLAYER FOR CLUTCH MOMENTS IN THE PLAYOFFS."
New Orleans Pelicans 115-100 Anthony Davis was too much to handle, with 29 points and 13 rebounds.
At 40-9, there is no denying that the Hawks are good — very good. However, this is not a team built to win a championship. They have a starting lineup that works well together, but have no single player that puts up the majority of the points.
The biggest issue for the Hawks is they don't have a "go to" player for clutch moments in the playoffs. Say, if they play the Cleveland Cavaliers in the
teams are strong defensively and have something the Hawks don't — a star. John Wall, DeMar DeRozan, Derrick Rose, LeBron James or Kyrie Irving can all score on their own when a basket is needed. The only player for the Hawks who can create their own outside shot is Jeff Teague, who only shoots 33 percent from behind the arc.
Another issue to note for the Hawks is that six of their nine losses have come on the road. And in the playoffs, teams have to win on the road in a noisy environment if they have
hopes for a championship. The Wizards, Bulls and Cavs all have shut down defenders.
Now, let's talk about the Cavs. In the past 28 games with LeBron playing, they are 23-5, including their current 11-game win streak. The Hawks couldn't defend the best player in the world, Lebron James, and Kyrie Irving. The Cavs are improving, and fast. When they reach full form, nobody in the Eastern Conference will stand a chance.
The Eastern Conference is already weak as it is. Both the seven and eight seeds have negative records. The eight seed and the one seed are 18.5 games apart, while the one seed and the eight seed in the Western Conference are 11.5 games apart. The Phoenix Suns are 28-22 as the eight seed; this would put them as the five seed in the East. The reigning champion San Antonio Spurs are the seven seed at 30-18, to put perspective on how good the West is compared with the East.
The Hawks went on an impressive hot streak, but do they have a real shot at the title? I don't see it. Don't expect them make it out of the East.
Edited by Mitch Raznick
Joey Anguiano
@joey anguiano
"YES"
Think about everything that's happened since Christmas. One thing that hasn't happened until Monday night was the Atlanta Hawks losing a basketball game. While their 19-game winning streak was ended by the New Orleans Pelicans in a rather decisive fashion, the Hawks are still very much the real deal.
The winning streak catapulted the Hawks from being one game out of first place to being seven games ahead of everyone else in the Eastern Conference. The team was playing with unmatched efficiency in the Eastern Conference, averaging 105 points, while holding opponents to just over 93 points per game. The Hawks streak was as fun as it was impressive. The team was hitting 40 percent of its three-point attempts for the duration of the streak.
The Hawks remaining schedule is incredibly difficult right before the All-Star break, including matchups with Washington, Golden State, Memphis and Minnesota. The Hawks will be lucky to escape those four matchups with three wins.
For the Hawks to maintain
their victorious ways, they're going to have to rebound better than they did Monday night against New Orleans. The Pelicans out-rebounded the Hawks by 20, which is the biggest rebounding deficit the Hawks have had all season long. Let's be honest, though; the Hawks won't be going up against Anthony Davis every night. They should be able to rebound better than they did Monday.
the ball effectively, as evidenced by the fact that they're leading the league in assists (19.8 per game), while having fewer turnovers than half the league (13.5 per game). Additionally, the Hawks have been shooting well. Their shooting percentage is fourth-best in the league behind the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Washington Wizards.
As previously stated, the
"THIS TEAM SHOWED THEY COULD HANDLE JUST ABOUT ANYBODY DURING THOSE 19 GAMES..."
Another reason why the Hawks are the real deal is the fact that the Eastern Conference is comically weak right now. The Hawks are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot at this point in the season with 40 wins.
Once they get to the playoffs, they've shown they can string together wins and get hot, which sometimes is all it takes to determine a postseason champion. They're also following a philosophy proven to work by last season's champions, the San Antonio Spurs. Like the Spurs, the Hawks share
Eastern Conference is weak, so the team from the Western Conference should destroy whoever the Eastern Conference champion is in the NBA Finals, right? Wrong. During the 19-game winning streak, Atlanta also won 12 straight matchups against Western Conference foes, until they ran into New Orleans. This team showed they could handle just about anybody during those 19 games, and I think they have a real chance to hoist up the Larry O'Brien Trophy this summer.

said of the Denzel Feaster signing. "He found a guy that had been playing quarterback his entire career, except for his last five games."
Quite possibly, Faster may have never played a down of Division 1 football as quarterback. Because of that, he slipped through the recruiting cracks.
But at a school like Kansas, a swift position change can maximize untapped abilities in a player like Feaster. It worked for Kerry Meier, Brandon McAnderson, and Toben Opurum, just to name a few.
"This guy has instincts? Beaty said of Feaster. "He will come downhill and he will knock the fire out of you. He puts his head on the ball. He doesn't even know what he's doing there yet."
Feaster will most likely play somewhere in the secondary. There, he will be joined by six other 2015 defensive backs, one from Georgia, one from Michigan, the rest from Texas
— just one of them, Marnez Ogletree, measuring in at sub-six-foot (5-foot-10).
"All of these corners that are coming in here, they have arms that are extremely long." Beaty said as he splayed his arms wide of his body towards opposite ends of the Anderson Family Football Complex. "We want them to be able to touch the walls as they stand in this room."
--that Chase reminds me, reminds me of Mike Evans. He has a lot of similar qualities in the way he's built, the way he moves at a young age."
"This guy (Denzel Feaster) has instincts. He will come downhill and he will knock the fire out of you."

The theme of length recurred on the offensive side of the ball, highlighted by 6-foot-4 wide receiver Chase Harrell from Huffman, Texas.
"I've known him since he said a pup." Beaty said of Harrell. "Had a guy at Texas A&M
Although Kansas didn't sign a player ranked higher than three stars according to any recruiting database — not that that matters, according to CBS sports — the jayhawks stuck with what was right for the program and didn't deviate from the long-term plan.
"The thing I am most proud of is that our coaches did not let athletic ability get in the way of just taking a guy because he's that good." Beaty said. "He had to be good and he had to be a Kansas guy."
Even if he's from Texas like Feaster is.
"When we offered him the scholarship, he shed a tear," Beaty said of Feaster — Kansas his lone Power 5 offer.
And by all accounts on Wednesday, so does David Beaty.

Baylor has 5 double-figure scorers to beat TCU 77-57
Associated Press
STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Kenny Chery had 13 points, starting the game with a three-pointer and a three-point play to put No. 19 Baylor ahead to stay in a 77-57 victory over TCU on Wednesday night.
The Bears (17-5, 5-4 Big 12), who had five players scoring in double plays, led throughout after scoring the game's first eight points.
TCU (14-8, 1-8) was within 45-39 with just over 15 minutes left before Royce O'Neale converted a three-point play and hit a three-pointer from the left wing after a pass from Chery. The Bears pushed in front 58-39 when Rico Gathers made a layup with 12:45 left.
Gathers finished with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Chery also had six assists and five rebounds.
Amric Fields had 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting to lead TCU. Trey Zeigler and Kenrich Williams had 11 points each.
O'Neale scored 12 points, Taurean Prince 11 and Lester Medford 10.
After the pass to O'Neale for the three in Baylor's big second-half run, Chery had another assist when he crossed midcourt and passed ahead to Al Freeman. The freshman point guard took a stutter-step without traveling or putting the ball on the floor to get around defender Kyan Anderson for a layup. Freeman had a three-pointer for the next Baylor points.
KU Psychological Clinic
The Bears have won 17 of their last 18 home games, the lone loss in that span by one point to No. 12 Kansas a month ago.
TIP-INS
TIP-INS
TCU: Zeigler had his
fourth straight double-figure scoring game for the Horned Frogs, and 10th this season. ... Since becoming a Big 12 member, TCU is 0-8 against Baylor. ... The 14 points by Fields were a season high for the senior, well below the injury-plagued forward's career high of 26 he set as a freshman in December 2010.
Baylor: When the Bears won in overtime at TCU on Jan. 10, they shot 29.8 percent from the field — their worst ever in a win under 12th-year coach Scott Drew. This time, they shot 49 percent (26 of 53). ... Baylor is 31-4 against in-state teams since the start of the 2011-12 season.

KANSAS TIPOFF
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
Oklahoma
STATE
UNIVERSITY
AT A GLANCE
Coach Bill Self said this Kansas team isn't a talented bunch of kids, but they find a way to win. The Iowa State win inched Kansas closer to where it wants to be, but the Jayhawks need to find a way to put two halves together. Self called his team "Sybil" because of its lack of consistency and its struggled to keep leads this season. The Jayhawks have won five in a row but haven't won in Stillwater since 2013.*
Brannen Greene, sophomore, guard
Greene has been able to boost Kansas with well-timed three-pointers, as displayed when Kansas was down seven against Iowa State. He averages almost two three-pointers per game but has hit nine or more three-pointers in four games this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
QUESTION MARK
Can Selden stay consistent?
Wayne Selden Jr. has struggled to stay consistent on the offensive end. Every game, Kansas knows it's getting a hard-nosed defender out of Selden, but doesn't know which side of Selden will show up on offense. Selden has taken 88 three-pointer attempts this season and only 51 free throw attempts, which means Selden isn't attacking the basket. Even against Iowa State, 15 of his 20 points came from three-point range.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF
The Jayhawks hold Oklahoma State guard Phil Forte III to fewer than four three-pointers. Fore is the Cowboys' best shooter, and Kansas can't let him find open looks. Oklahoma State gains momentum through its three-pointers, and if Kansas allows Forte to gain confidence, the Jayhawks could be in trouble. In the last three Cowboy wins, Forte hit four or more three-pointers.

No.9 KANSAS (17-3,6-1 Big 12)
PROJECTED STARTERS
A. M.
Selden was the star on Monday, scoring a team high of 20 points and hitting five of his seven three-point attempts. While the sophomore still hasn't put a full game together this season, Selden scored 19 of his 20 points against Iowa State in the second half. Coach Self said Selden's big game against Iowa State should help his confidence.
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
★★★★★
PETER R. PARKER
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard
This sophomore is the reason Kansas has such a great conference record. Mason is Kansas' most valuable player because he barely leaves the court and doesn't turn the ball over. His 19-game double digits scoring streak is active and is top 10 in the Big 12, scoring over 12 points per game.
M. BALKANI
★★★☆
Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard
Since recovering from the flu, Oubre has been in attack mode. Against Texas and TCU, Oubre scored a combined eight points. After TCU, the only starting freshman has averaged 12 points and seven rebounds. He's shot over 44 percent from the field and averaged one steal per game.
OKLAHOMA STATE (15-7, 5-5 Big 12)
★★★☆
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Coach Self calls Ellis the go-to man and says the Kansas offense runs around the junior. He's the lead scorer and rebound on the team. Ellis, a prototypical postman, has expanded his game this season, shooting more three-pointers. Last season, Ellis only made eight three-pointers, but this season, he's already at 12. Ellis gives the Jayhawks another outside threat onponents have to worry about.

TAYLOR HOWARD
Traylor is known as the hustle player on the team, and he said he wants to be known for his hustle plays.

Phil Forte III, junior, guard
Forte has transformed his game from a former sharp-shooter to an all-around guard who can drive the lane. He leads the league in minutes played, steals, and is second in three-point percentage and scoring (17.3 ppg). He has scored in double-figures in all but one game this season, including 18

Anthony Hickey Jr., senior, guard
The five-foot-eleven Hickey is second to Forte on the team and in the league in steals (2.05). He averages 8.6 points per game and 3.7 assists to 1.6, good for the league's fourth best assist-to-turnover ratio (2.29). Hickey went for five points against Kansas.
★★★☆☆

Le'Bryan Nash, senior, forward
Nash is the third highest score in the Big 12 with 16.9 per game, and the eighth highest field-goal percentage (46.7 percent). Nash ranks fifth in the league in defensive rebounds (4.60) and tenth in minutes played (30.60). Nash has scored in double-figures in every game he has played this season, including 21 against Kansas in January.

Cobbins is the biggest presence in the Cowboy's starting lineup. The senior ranks thirteenth in the league in rebounds per game (5.9) and second in blocked shots (2.28). His season-high rebounding effort (11) came in the win over No. 20 Baylor. In the game against Kansas, Cobbins contributed six points, two rebounds, and fouled out.
★★★☆☆
OK STATE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Oklahoma State is vying for a win to further solidify its bid for the NCAA tournament. The Cowboys have won most of the games they should have, but out of eight ranked opponents as they've played this year, they've only defeated three. Kansas already defeated the Cowboys by 10 in Allen Fieldhouse earlier this year. Revenge should be on Oklahoma State's mind Saturday.
PLAYER TO WATCH
ONKLAHDARE
Tavarius Shine, freshman guard
QUESTION MARK
He's only averaged 12.9 minutes per game this season, but he gives the Cowpokes a lift from behind the three-point line. In a 64-53 win over No. 20 Baylor, Shine hit all three of his three-point attempts and finished the night with 11 points.
How does Kansas handle the Oklahoma State pressure?
it'll be a watered down version of the pressure Kansas will see against West Virginia later this season, but surely Oklahoma State will bring the heat on its home floor. The Cowboys rank second in the conference in steals (8.62), with guards Phil Forte III and Anthony Hickey leading the way with over two per game apiece.
BY THE NUMBERS

Prediction: Kansas 78 Oklahoma State 72

68.2
Oklahoma State scores the third fewest points per game in the Big 12
+.3
The Cowboys have the worst rebounding margin in the conference. Kansas has a +5.5 margin (fourth)
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Somebody other than Phil Forte III or Le'Bryan Nash gets loose. In the first match, Forte was loud in the first half; Nash in the second. The two lacked synchronicity, and nobody else seemed to step up. The narrative remains the same this time in Stillwater, Okla. If Kansas can keep Forte and Nash relatively contained and lock down the other three players on the court, it should be business as usual. But if a third wheel gets rolling, look out.

Kansas defeats Tech 71-67, hopes to keep rolling
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
After a dramatic 71-67 win against Texas Tech on Wednesday, Kansas (13-10, 4-6) will host Oklahoma State on Saturday at 7 p.m.
Since starting 0-5 in conference play, Kansas has won four of its past five games, with its only loss coming against Baylor last Sunday.
Oklahoma State (13-8, 3-7) is currently tied with Texas Tech for ninth place in the Big 12, only a half game back of Kansas, West Virginia, Kansas State and Texas for fifth place.
"They (Oklahoma State) are a good team, and we've got to be ready and focused."
ASIA BOYD Senior guard
Oklahoma State was defeated by No. 3 Baylor on Wednesday, 69-52 in Stillwater, Okla. The Cowgirls have won two of their past seven games going into Saturday's matchup with Kansas, which includes a five game losing streak through mid-january
with losses coming against West Virginia, Oklahoma, TCU and Kansas State. Oklahoma State and Kansas have both gone to Iowa State and have come out of Ames, Iowa with wins.
The Cowgirls have four players who average 11 plus points per game led by junior guard Brittney Martin who averages 12.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Martin received honorable mention All-Big 12 last season as a sophomore.
"Martin can score and they have others that can score as well," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We will have our hands full, but it'll be a great opportunity to have."
Saturday's meeting will be the first time the two teams will matchup this season. The two teams will meet in Stillwater, Okla. just two weeks later on Feb. 21.
"They are a good team, and we've got to be ready and focused," senior guard Asia Boyd said.

Kansas has lost its last five games against the Cowgirls, with its last win coming on Jan. 18, 2012. The Cowgirls swept last season's meeting 64-56 on Jan. 22, 2014 in Lawrence and 76-74 on Feb. 5, 2014 in Stillwater, Okla.

The Jayhawks will need contributions from their young players who are looking to build momentum after an opening weekend that saw many firsts for the youthful roster.
Freshmen Madison Harrison and Smith Hinton were able to secure the doubles point in the opening weekend with
their first doubles win of the season against New Mexico. Fellow freshman Rachel McNeely won her singles matchup against New Mexico and paired with Summer Collins for a doubles victory against South Carolina.

The Pacific Tigers, the Jayhawks' second opponent, have played a lone match in their spring season, a 4-3 win at UC Davis. The match was tightly contested as Pacific dropped the doubles point but rallied behind its top four singles spots.
Meanwhile, New Mexico State will enter the weekend 1-1 after splitting its first two matches. The Aggies dropped their season opening match against Arizona 7-0 but rebounded nicely with a 5-2 win against Texas State.
Kansas' first opponent, UNLV, comes off consecutive 6-1 losses against Oregon and at UC Santa Barbara. The Rebels were only able to avoid a sweep in singles play thanks to a win from freshman Mercedes Lopez Valez, 7-5, 3-6.

Nearly halfway through the season, the Kansas women's basketball team just couldn't seem to buy a win. After a strong 7-2 start, the team just didn't look the same — at least until the end of winter break, when the Jayhawks started to turn things around.
Senior guard Natalie Knight seraches to pass the ball against Texas Tech on Wednesday night. The Jayhawks won 71-67.
JILL STIVERSON/KANSAN
The same could be said of the game the Jayhawks played on Wednesday, as the team jumped on top early, leading 32-25 with four minutes to go in the first half. However, Kansas allowed Texas Tech to go on an extended 12-4 run to take the lead, and the team started to fade. With 10:35 remaining, the Red Raiders led by seven points, and they were in the midst of a 12-2 run; coach Bonnie Henrickson called a timeout. Guess the "winter break" portion of the game ended after that.
"We got stuck [early on]," said Henrickson after the game. "Once we finally forced more tough twos and got some tough rebounds, [we] got the opportunity to go in transition."
up as it had been all year. Senior Asia Boyd really embodied that energy as she took a charge late in the game, pumping her fist
and letting out an emphatic roar. The team wasn't about to roll over.
The Jayhawks rattled off a 16-0 run of their own to go ahead by nine, and the team was as fired
After holding on for the win,
the jayhawks improved to 13-10 on the year, with four victories in their last five games, keeping them in the hunt to make the NCAA Tournament. Two seasons ago, when the team was last an entrant in March Madness, the Jayhawks entered the Big 12 Tournament at 17-12. It is very possible that they could match that record this time around, with only one ranked opponent on the schedule the rest of the way.
("There's) a great opportunity for us to continue our run here," Henrickson said. "We'll have our hands full; [but] we've played with more energy [as of late]."
Currently, the Jayhawks are just one game out of a tie for third place in the Big 12, and in fact, it seems as though the odds are starting to fall in their favor. The two teams sitting between them and third place still have a game to play against the league-leading Baylor Bears,
which should help even things out.
Additionally, two of the Jayhawks' last three games will be home contests, one of which will come against the Iowa State Cyclones, whom Kansas beat in Ames earlier this year. The other one will come against the Kansas State Wildcats, who have gone just 1-5 on the road this season.

The Kansas track and field team will travel up to Lincoln, Neb., to compete in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational hosted by the University of Nebraska.
Kansas is coming off a successful performance in the Jayhawk Classic last week. The Jayhawks won 14 events in the meet. It was their last home meet of the indoor season.
Of the 14 first-place finishes, the Jayhawks swept the top four spots in the men's 1,000 meters and 3,000 meters. This is the second straight meet Kansas has taken at least the top three spots in the 3,000 meters.
Senior James Wilson was the first of the four Jayhawks to cross the finish line, with a time of 8:11.53. Wilson said the team put in a lot of work over winter break in preparation for the final stretch of the indoor season, in particular, the Big 12 Conference Championships.
"I just think we have a really good group of guys coming together," Wilson said. "I think everyone has a pretty common goal of wanting to do well."
Wilson said sometimes a lot of the competition they face in meets can come from each
other, in addition to practice.
"It's nice knowing you can put in a bunch of miles with these guys," Wilson said. "You can go out on the starting line on the track and trust them to push you in a race as well as practice."
Wilson will not be participating in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational. He will be taking the meet off to better prepare for the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa, on Feb. 14.
Notable teams competing in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational include: Auburn, Iowa, Maryland, Alabama and USC; in addition to Kansas and Nebraska.
sic last week, the majority of heptathlon and pentathon events will be taking place Friday, the first day of the event.
The heptathlon 60-meter dash will start the competition off at noon. Friday will end with the men's and women's 400-meter dash finals, followed by 5,000-meter run at 9:05 p.m.
Similar to the Jayhawk Clas-
The events will begin Saturday with the heptathlon 60-meter hurdles and pole vault at 10 a.m and 10:45 a.m., respectively. The meet will conclude with the x400 relay at 4:50 p.m., which will be separated into two heats.

Police officers stand guard outside of a house on the 1600 block of 19th Terrace after a shooting Sunday evening.
Two suspects remain at large following shooting
Two suspects are still at large after a shooting on the 1600 block of 19th Terrace on Sunday night. Lawrence Police are looking for the two suspects after they fled the scene, which is about two blocks south of the University.
As of 10:45 p.m. the investigation was progressing, according to Sgt. Trent McKinley of Lawrence Police, but the suspects were still at large.
At about 4:40 p.m., officers were called to the 1600 block of 19th Terrace on reports of at least one person shot with a handgun or pellet gun. Officers, assisted by University police, were searching for at least one suspect in the 19th Terrace area and on campus.
At 5:30 p.m., the University released an alert.
"Police are searching for an individual suspected in a shooting in the 1600 block of 19th Terrace. Police are searching the neighborhoods south and southeast of campus, including neighborhoods near Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, but do not believe the suspect is on campus. The suspect is a white male wearing a dark colored T-shirt, carrying a gray sweatshirt, and is believed to be armed.
"Stay alert, and if you have information or believe you have seen the suspect, please call 911 immediately."
The University then released several updates to the alert. At 5:50 p.m. University officials said they were looking for a second male suspect. At 6:25 p.m. they said both suspects were in dark colored hoodies. At 9:03 p.m. they said they did not have suspect descriptions confirmed by police yet. The campus was still open, according to the alert webpage.
"Further suspect descriptions
have appeared on at least one media site. We will post descriptions here when they are directly confirmed to us by the Lawrence Police Department," the release said.

A LifeStar helicopter was staged at Lawrence High School to transport at least one victim with a gunshot wound to a Kansas City-area hospital.
According to the KU Police Department, campus police officers are aiding the Lawrence Police in tracking the suspect.
The Crime Scene Unit was at the scene throughout the night, and police dogs were brought in from
neighboring counties to assist in tracking the path of the suspects. McKinley said the three victims of yesterday's shooting are all hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Two victims were taken by ambulance to Kansas City-area traumas centers, and one was life-flipped to another hospital. McKinley said he could not release the names of the hospitals.
"Their injuries were such (that) they had to be taken to trauma centers instead of Lawrence Memorial," McKinley said.
After the first reports of the shooting, McKinley said there were conflicting reports of where the shooters were headed.
"We believe they left home on foot," he said. "There were reports of one running towards campus so we contacted KU. The problem was that people were seeing different things but weren't sure if they were related to the incident or not."

Proposed Kansas Senate bill negates concealed carry permit
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Kansans would be able to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, background check or training if a new senate bill passes. The bill is backed by the majority of senators and is expected to pass through the legislature quickly, according to Senator Steve Fitzgerald, a Republican representing parts of Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties.
"I think it is important to have the right to self defense," he said.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on Jan. 21, introduced to committee the next day and is scheduled for a hearing Feb. 12. Kansas would be the fifth state to allow concealed carry without a permit, according to a Reuters article. The state already allows open carry without a permit.
"That right is guaranteed in the U.S. constitution, and that right should not be infringed upon, and there are those that believe that a permit is an infringement of that right."
Larry Minkler, the owner of
"I think the bill would be better if they stipulate some education with it," he said, "There are several statutes in Kansas, and I think if they attached some education component to the bill, that'd be better."
Free State Guns and Tactical Weapons in Eudora, said he is surprised education wasn't a component in the bill.
Fitzgerald said he thought the requirement for training was reasonable, but found fault with other components that comprise the current law in place for concealed carry.
"The fees that we were charging were onerous," he said. "I don't think that the training was onerous. The argument is that people have the right to carry naturally, guaranteed in the constitution, and all we're doing is putting ourselves in to make them pay to take that test."
However, Dalton Willey, a sophomore from Salina, said he thinks the proposed bill isn't sufficient in ensuring people's

University releases sanctions on all sexual assault cases since creation of IOA
The list shows the 32 sanctions imposed on different students and includes eight expulsions, seven suspensions, 13 probations, two "education/training" and two warnings.
Foat also said this information was not only in the interest of the Kansan, but the University community. When the Kansan originally requested this, the University said it would cost upwards of $600.
The list is a tabulation of all those complaints that resulted in sanctions from the Office of Student Affairs. It does not include cases where no sanction was given.
The University's Office of Student Affairs has created an online list of all of the sanctions imposed on University students found in violation of University policies regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment from May 2012 to December 2014.
"In the interests of transparency, the university has tabulated and now reports the results of cases involving violations of KU's Sexual Assault Policy and disciplinary sanctions imposed on students on the Student Affairs webpage." Foat said.
In an email to the Kansan, Andy Float, the records custodian for the University, said the University has decided to publish the records for transparency.
Miranda Davis
"Because the posting of this information on the Student Affairs website in fulfillment of your request is considered to be in the interests of the University and the KU community, the University is providing this information to the UDK at no charge." Foat said.
The sanctions date from IOA's creation in May 2012 to Dec. 29, 2014 and only includes violations of the University's Sexual Harassment Policy.
According to the IOA website, the data listed doesn't include sanctions in cases against University employees.
The list was originally part of a Kansas Open Records request by the Kansan last November.
Man accused of aggravated sexual battery withdraws from University
OPINION 4
A&F 5
The man is accused of aggravated sexual battery and criminal restraint stemming from a Nov. 10 incident. He invited another University student to his apartment for a vocal lesson, handcuffed her
and proceeded to lift the victim's shirt, touch her breasts and kiss her chest, the alleged victim said in court, according to the Lawrence-Journal World.
A former University student set to stand trial in sexual battery case has withdrawn from the University, according to an email from spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson. The 22-year-old withdrew from the University on Feb. 3, Barcomb-Peterson said.
On Jan. 30, Douglas County District Judge Sally Pokorny decided the man would stand trial after hearing what she considered probable cause of the crime from the alleged victim and Lawrence Police Officer Tim Froese.
The man was arrested Nov. 11, but released the following day after posting a $40,000 bond.

Favorite thing about Lawrence:

University takes steps to avert measles outbreak
The recent measles outbreak across the country has prompted the University to take action against the disease. On Friday, Feb. 6, University officials met to create a plan that would help prevent the disease from reaching campus.
Student Health Services Director Douglas Dechairo, who was present at the meeting, said the University is doing all it can to make sure that students are out of harms way.
"We would quarantine the infected students and would then create a list of students who could have been exposed," Dechairo said. "The infected students would then be sent home for 21 days, and they would have to miss school."
Deachio said cooperation from students and faculty is also necessary if the University wants to prevent the disease.
@tim_mcginnis
"There are about 1,000 students who have not been

compliant with the University so far," Dechairo said. "We have attempted to reach out to these students multiple times."
The 1,000 incompilant students who Dechario is referring to are students who have not given their immunization records to the University. Dechario said it is important to have these records because it can help the University determine who has not received a measles vaccination.
In a University news release, William Picking, director of the University Vaccine Institute, said two doses of the measles vaccine is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease. He also said the main reason for the spread of measles is because of a lack of the population that is vaccinated.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, measles is a highly contagious virus that causes a high fever, a cough and a rash. The symptoms typically do not become apparent until 14 days after exposure to the disease, and they can last for an additional
seven days. There is no cure for measles, but the majority of the time it is treatable.
GUNS FROM PAGE 1
University officials will be sending out a campus-wide letter addressing the potential for a measles outbreak and urging unvaccinated students to receive their vaccinations.
Dechairo said it is a difficult process to control measles because of how contagious the disease is. However, Student Health Services would work with other University departments, as well as the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, in order to control an outbreak.
Dechairo said the University does have past experience in dealing with disease outbreaks. In 2006 there were reported cases of mumps on campus, and in 2011 there were some students who were infected with measles.
"It is important that the University is being proactive," Dechairo said. "We are doing all we can to make sure no one here gets measles."
"As far as this bill goes, it just goes too far," he said. "It allows for individuals to carry a gun openly with no training. With no training and a gun, things can get hairy."
Fitzgerald said the bill may act as a deterrent for criminals and those wishing to do harm to others, more so than being able to openly carry without a permit.
Edited by Lane Cofas
"Open carry makes sense if you're out hunting, when those that see your weapon are of the bear or cougar type so it's no problem," Fitzgerald said. "Concealed carry gives you immediate advantage over other folks because if you carry it openly, you're like the first victim. When you have a certain amount of the population who are carrying concealed, people who would do harm have a degree of uncertainty of whether their intended victim has a concealed weapon."
"The bill says we're gun friendly," Fitzgerald said. "We're saying doors are open, and if you want to come manufacture guns and gun parts, come to Kansas."
At the same time this bill is being pushed through the Senate, Gov. Sam Brownback is attempting to lure more gun and gun-part manufacturers to move to Kansas.
safety.
The question of whether the legislature is working for the people or for a business is something Willey said concerns him.
"I don't find individual backing of businesses to be a good thing." Willey said. "I don't think their concerns are being directed to their citizens and the issues with the budget and the recent cuts to education. To be frank, I don't think I want my senator proposing something like this. Kansas already has lax gun laws."
CITY FROM PAGE 1
Thirty-six states recognize Kansas' concealed carry permits, according to the Kansas Attorney General's website. Fitzgerald said since this bill would require no permits, other states might not be receptive. Either way, he said he's confident the bill will pass.

background will be an asset for City Commission. I want to represent all of the people of Lawrence and listen to everybody to make decisions."
Time spent in Lawrence: "My dad brought us here in 1954. We lived at Sunnyside Apartments [while] Wilt Chamberlain played here at KU. He was transferred and moved us away, but I always returned. Lawrence is my home."
Most important issue: "The most important issue in my City Commission campaign is the interconnection between neighborhoods and strong local businesses. One can't survive without the other." Favorite thing about Lawrence: "My favorite thing about Lawrence is the diversity in neighborhoods, businesses, and people. We have a very rich and liveable city."
Time spent in Lawrence: "This is my 20th year living in Lawrence, Kan. I moved here starting in 7th grade and thanks to the University of Kansas being a few blocks from my house. I never left."
MATTHEW HERBERT
Most important issue: "The single most important issue in this campaign for me is changing the city's attitude toward property tax abatements. If you want to develop, I say 'go for it', but 'go for it' understanding that the expectation will be that private development is funded using private investors and private capital, not the public footing the bill."
Favorite thing about Lawrence:
"My favorite thing about Lawrence is the unique culture we are exposed to and to get to interact with. Events like Buskerfest and Art in the Park provide an amazing way to grow social capital within our community."
I've lived in Lawrence, well about 35 years."
STAN RASMUSSEN
GREG ROBINSON
Favorite thing about Lawrence:
"There's a lot of great things I really like about Lawrence. Well if I can only pick one it would be the unique, diverse and independent population. Lawrence always has so many people coming through here with the University, so it's always a changing population."
ROB SANDS
Time spent in Lawrence: "I guess
Most important issue: "I have a lot of issues that are important, but I guess strengthening the communities trust in the decision making process, since it's not that strong."
Time spent in Lawrence: "Well, if I do the math, I've lived here for on and off for about 18 years now." Most important issue: "Bringing trust back between taxpayers and city commission. There has been a rift between the taxpayers and the city commission, but I want to show them that we can bridge it and are here for the taxpayers." Favorite thing about Lawrence: "Probably the vibrancy of the town. Lawrence is always getting an influx of new ideas and it stays young."
Lived in Lawrence: "14 years." Most important issues: "The broadband gigabyte internet service in Lawrence is not just for a couple residential neighborhoods. It's an important thing to have in the downtown area for all the businesses. I do support the new police facility, but before we get to the police facility, we've got to find a better way for it to work. I don't think a sales tax increase is the most effective way to pay for it."
Favorite thing about Lawrence: "Mass. Street in winter, the parades. The history is amazing. The history of Lawrence is the history of Kansas. It's part of our culture."
BOB SCHUMM
Lived in Lawrence: "Since I was

LESLIE SODEN
Most important issues: "To try and find some kind of consensus on a modern police facility, for our police officers to function at 100% capacity and efficiency... 9th Street Arts Corridor, it has the potential to become one of Lawrence's greatest assets."

Favorite thing about Lawrence:
"It's just a kick-ass town when you get to know as many people as we have, my wife and I, and get to be involved in so many events and projects. It's a great social town. It's a great sports town. It's just a great city to live in, very functional."
Lived in Lawrence: "16 years." Most important issues: "I think we need to talk about public safety and emergency services, and I think we need to kind of broaden that conversation to include our mental health needs that we aren't covering now... Social services seems to be getting defunded and it's a little scary, so I think we need to work harder at preventing that and taking care of the people here in our community."
Favorite thing about Lawrence:
"Lawrence just has the best people. There's that Midwestern respect and charm that people have that just comes naturally."
"Can we expect problems with people carrying weapons," Fitzgerald said. "We already have that. The bad people are already carrying the weapons. For the most part, we can't legislate against stupid. We depend on people to be responsible, and if they're not, they're going to pay the price."
Lived in Lawrence: "6 years."
Most important issues: "The most important issue to me, also the one that inspired me to run, is dealing with certain ordinances passed by the city that govern the municipal court. Those ordinances allow the municipal court to
CORI VIOLA
collect $72 a day for jail fees. Repealing those ordinances is going to facilitate people's payments. It's really important to me that the Lawrence government recognizes the power it has on populations that don't necessarily have a voice in city government right now." Favorite thing about Lawrence: "I love everything about Lawrence. I love Clinton Lake. I love the atmosphere downtown, but really the thing that I love the most is the sense of grassroots and community."
GARY WILLIAMS
Time spent in Lawrence: "9 years and 1 month."
Most important issue: "Budget tax cuts and reduced property taxes. The budget cuts and property taxes are actually tied together. There has been a serious problem with communication between city leaders and the community. I want to implement an interactive website for the community at my own expense named 'The People's Voice.'"
Favorite thing about Lawrence:
"The diversity of it's people and the open minded community belief of equality by many. When my family and I first arrived from Texas the first thing we noticed with our children will be the different cultures in play. Our children have learned a great deal from the diversity of the community. This is something that is hardly seen in many towns within Texas. It has been a very positive experience for the entire family."
Candidates Mike Anderson, Terry Riordan and Justin Priest were unavailable for comment at the time of press.

Liberty Hall to host Lawrence TED talk in March
KATHERINE HARTLEY
@kat_hart9
TEDxlLawrence, an independently organized version of TED talks, will be held on March 23 at Liberty Hall. The theme will be innovative, collaborative and dynamic ideas.
"We chose that because that's sort of how we feel about Lawrence and about the energy and the ideas that exist in Lawrence now," said Beth Pine, the official spokesperson and member of the steering committee for
TEDxLawrence. "So we're wanting to celebrate that. I'm just really tickled to hear what people are going to have to say and share."
Because of limited tickets, those wanting to attend must submit an online application explaining why they should attend. Tickets will cost $25. People can also apply to be speakers at TEDxlawrence; the application will be available online until Feb. 16 at www.ted.com/tedx/events.
"You just have to have a good idea that is worth sharing," Pine said. "It's really
exciting to be able to see all these ideas that are generating from Lawrencians."
Pine applied for Lawrence to host TEDx back in 2013, and received the acceptance in April 2014. She said she believes individual organizers who value good ideas, like herself, are "stepping up" and spreading ideas by organizing events like TEDx.
TEDxLawrence relies on partners and ticket costs to fund the event, Pine said.
Currently, the TEDxLawrence steering committee is looking for sponsoring organizations and individuals. As a community-organized event,
"It's really exciting to be able to see all these ideas that are generating from Lawrencians."
BETH PINE
TEDxLawrence
Current partners include Revolutions Systems, The Brewhaus, New York Life
Insurance Company and RE/ MAX Excel.
Members organizing TEDxLawrence are volunteering their time, and Pine said she has gotten an enthusiastic response.
"A lot of people are very excited about this and we have had a lot of requests for volunteers," she said. "It's really awesome."
One of the volunteers is Mary Joyce, a freshman from Leawood. As an outreach coordinator for TEDxLawrence, she said she will contact potential speakers
and be in charge of social media near the time of the event.
Joyce got involved after a fellow engineering student told her about the event. Joyce wanted to help after hearing about the success TEDx had in Kansas City this past August.
"I am excited to see how the event comes together," she said. "We have seen the hype and excitement for the program, and it's awesome."
City Commission candidates talk priorities
— Edited by Yu Kyung Lee
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@KansanNews
With the Lawrence City Commission elections approaching, candidates are preparing to win votes. The elections will be decided in March, the culmination of several debates and discussions from the candidates.
In 2015, there are an unprecedented number of candidates, 14, running for three city commissioner positions.
"I am very excited to have 14 people competing for the commissioner's positions this year, which is the highest number in several years," Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx said. "It shows that there is a lot of interest and excitement around the elections this year."
For Amyx, the biggest issues for the commission were the potential building
of a new police facility, tax changes and incentives and economic development.
The University will be affected by these changes, but according to Amyx, not more so than the community it fits in to.
"Those in the University are obviously part of the community and these decisions affect the commerce of the community."
MIKE AMYX
Lawrence mayor
"The University is definitely a large part of the city commission's discussions," Amyx said. "First of all, the University's faculty, students and staff account for a large part of the population in Lawrence. Those in the University are obviously part
of the community and these decisions affect the commerce of the community."
Local government spending, economic development and local entrepreneurship are talking points among candidates. For David Crawford, a candidate planning to introduce a downtown grocery store to Lawrence, community involvement is the most important change to make to the city commission.
"At planning meetings, you would be lucky to see even one person from the community," Crawford said. "There is a genuine interest in those planning sessions. The problem is that there hasn't been enough thought given to other ways to involve the community so there will be adequate involvement when the community is concerned."
For Matthew Herbert,
taxes on investments from
businesses are another big issue relating to this election.
Most candidates have business or administrative backgrounds, like Kristie Adair, a candidate who is the co-owner of Wicked Broadband, or incumbent commissioner Bob Schumm, a landlord.
"I think everybody's voice is
"The single most important issue in this campaign for me is changing the city's attitude towards property tax abatements. Currently, the city hands these out to virtually any business that asks," Herbert said. "If it's not a public infrastructure project, the public should not be footing the bill."
As for the community representation concerns that Crawford has expressed, Amyx and current Commissioner Michael Dever, whose term expires in 2015, do not share the same concern.
heard," Amyx said. "Anyone from the community is welcome in our meetings, whether it is from the University or elsewhere in the community."
Dever agreed with Amyx's view.
"Most things that occur at the Commission level impact the community as a whole, not just those who are closest to an issue," Dever said.
Edited by Lane Cofas
"I don't know if there's been a problem with [representation]," Dever said. "Clearly, commissioners are elected at large in the community so you are charged with listening to people from all over the community, and so you may have people in one part of town that think one way and people in another part of town think in another.

'Fifty Shades’ release date blurs lines
Maddy Mikinski
@Miss Maddy
EIFTY SHADES OF GREY/UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
Valentine's Day is a celebration of romance, togetherness and
horrifying domestic abuse.
At least that's what the movie adaptation of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" is telling us. When I found out James' deformed "Twilight"-inspired baby was set to be released on Valentine's Day, I wasn't shocked, but I was still taken aback.
Based on what is considered by one Goodreads commenter to be "the most sensual romance I think you can possibly get your hands on," it only figures that "Fifty Shades" would be released to play into all of the Valentine's Day hype. On the other hand, as a terrifyingly misconstrued tale of violence and abuse, Halloween would seem like a better release date.
Since its 2011 release, "Fifty Shades of Grey" has been the cause of a heated debate. Fans of the trilogy, as well
as E.L. James, maintain that it is merely a dark romance depicting the type of brooding hero seen in Bronte novels. The other side of the debate, which I agree with, believes the relationship depicted in the novels is abusive, violent and glorifies the abuse thousands experience every day.
The "Fifty Shades of Grey" release date only perpetuates the idea that this kind of violence should be taken as romance. Valentine's Day weekend releases are typically of the romantic sort. Nicholas
Sparks adaptations of "Safe Haven" and "Message in a Bottle" were both released around this time, as well as the Channing Tatum tearjerker "The Vow" Movie theaters might as well put up a sign that says "Nicholas Sparks adaptations only." Clearly Valentine's Day moviegoers want something they can cry into their chocolate boxes about later. With its Valentine's Day weekend release, "Fifty Shades" is mismarketing itself as a fluffy, crying into-a-chocolate-box romance.
In reality, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is as romantic as Othello murdering Desdemona in their marriage bed. The relationship portrayed in "Fifty Shades of Grey" is one of emotional, physical and mental abuse. It's a relationship that doesn't recognize boundaries or individuality. Instead of focusing on the negative repercussions of their relationship, the story twists the violent Christian Grey as a lonely soul with "bleak and tortured" eyes. He's portrayed as someone we should all run
to and lovingly hug, rather than run from and report to police.
The release date of this movie is pulling the Valentine's Day wood over moviegoers' eyes in a shameful way. The Feb. 13 release is further perpetuating the widespread belief that the relationship in the novel is something that should be seen as romantic, rather than creepy or unhealthy.

ASK ANISSA
How do I tell my roommate/friend that I'm not planning on living with them next year?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
This is probably one of the most uncomfortable conversations you will ever have to have with your friends in college. There is a lot at stake when it comes to breaking this news to your current roommate because, let's face it, things could go south, and life could turn ugly fast.
The reason why it is such a difficult discussion is because you most likely care about your current roommate. Whether they are your best friend or someone you met at the beginning of the year, it's hard to live with someone and not form a bond with them. It's crucial that when you sit down to have "the talk" with them that you emphasize how important they are to you as a friend. Afterward, you must find a way to explain why it would be best to live separately next year. And after this, they will most likely ask you why. This is the time to be honest with them, but let them know that you value their friendship. Ultimately, it's crucial to your friendship that you don't live together next year. Something along the lines of, "Because our friendship means so much, I don't think it would be wise for us to live together again because I feel like it could damage our relationship."
about being a roommate is being roommates first and friends second. The dishes are piling up, the trash is overflowing and your apartment suddenly has an unwelcoming stench. But you hold your breath and say nothing because it is uncomfortable to ask friends to do something they haven't been doing. Living with friends builds resentment and tension, which is not healthy for any friendship. I have seen several friendships burn out because of this issue.
I'm not sure why you are choosing not to live with your friend again, but let me just say this: Living with friends is hard. One of the first rules

down and be direct. The sooner you tell them, the better. They may even respect you more because now they will have an ample amount of time to find a new roommate and/or living quarters. Do not start listing off all the reasons why you no longer want to live with them because, remember, you still have to live with them until the end of your lease. It may be awkward and uncomfortable, but it has to be done. Once it is over you can reel in the semester with some peace of mind and excitement for your new living situation.
Society must be sensitive toward mental illnesses
Anissa Fritz is a sophomore from Dallas studying journalism and sociology
Kanika Kshirsagar @sneakykaniky
An issue with American society is the lack of sensitivity for individuals living with a mental illness. I grew up knowing someone who lives with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. From an early age, I witnessed the challenges someone with a mental illness experienced quite frequently. Stigma should not have been one of them.
Serious Mental Illness in the past year among Persons Aged 18 or Older, by State: Percentages, Annual Averages Based on 2011 and 2012 National Survey on Drug and Health
The most basic day-to-day activities for this individual became a hurdle for anyone involved. Medication made them drowsy, and this made social relationships difficult to maintain. In the slightest chance that I was able to carry some type of slight conversation with this individual, I found they weren't really speaking to me at all. Their attention and thoughts were too focused on the voices inside their own head. I will never forget the confusion, embarrassment and sadness I felt at the time, all due to my lack of understanding. However, as I got older, I began to learn and understand that what was happening was not their fault.

been in my situation know there is no one to blame here. It is difficult to understand what might offend someone who lives with a mental disorder, but we must remember that most of the time, their reactions are out of their control.
We should refrain from using phrases in our conversations like, "you're acting insane," "stop being crazy," "you're acting so bipolar," etc. These types of
"MANY PEOPLE LIVE WITH MENTAL DISORDERS, BUT THEIR ILLNESSES SHOULD NOT DEFINE THEM."
Something I remember vividly is how delicate this person was. The slightest and most innocent gesture, like suggesting an idea or concept they weren't familiar with, could trigger an emotional frenzy of tears and frustration. I had to choose my words carefully, as well as the tone I was speaking to them in. During an argument, simply lowering the tone of my voice could positively change the way this person reacted toward me. Many who have
phrases are used in a negative context all the time. I know this because I was once guilty of using them, too. We must work toward being more sensitive in the way we choose to converse and not only around someone who may live with a mental illness. It seems innocent at first, and someone might say it's not that big of a deal. But to someone who knows firsthand, it might be.
Many people live with mental disorders,but their
illnesses should not define them. About 42.5 million American adults reported living with some type of mental illness in the past year, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 2011-2012 survey. These people may be our teachers, friends, siblings, co-workers, etc. By having mental illness sensitivity, we can create a more comfortable environment for those around us.
Mental illnesses can be treatable through medication and psychosocial therapies, allowing those who live with them the opportunity to lead full and productive lives. We should not make people feel inferior just because they are struggling with something we do not understand.
America needs to make a conscious effort to become educated and respect those living with mental illness to stop the growth of the stigma that surrounds it. It won't be easy, but it is important in order for our society to progress.

Pop-rock band Jukebox the Ghost
to perform at the Granada tonight

@aleaheileen
Pop-rock band Jukebox the Ghost will be performing in Lawrence tonight, Feb. 9. The show will start at 8 p.m. at The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
The band, which recently performed on Conan, is composed of Tommy Siegel from Richmond, Va., Ben Thornewill from Louisville, Ky., and Jesse Kristin from Boston.
The members met at George Washington University in 2004 and have now been playing together for 10 years. The band has released four albums, including its self-titled album released in October of last year.
"It didn't start as anything serious," Siegel said. "Gradually it developed into something"
Siegel describes the group's sound as "urban piano pop with a twist of rock." The Jukebox the Ghost Tour began in November and will continue through March, with shows all across the U.S.
Siegel said the band's music has evolved along with the band members.
"Our music tends to reflect what's going on in our own life," he said. "Our earlier records were more spastic, and guitar and piano centric. Our writing style has changed. We have become open to all kinds of different instrumentation."

"Our music tends to reflect what's going on in our own life."
Siegel said his favorite show of the tour so far was its L.A. show, after playing on Conan. He said they had just signed to a new label, CherryTree, and it felt like a really joyous night.
Opening for Jukebox are the bands Little Daylight and Secret Someones. Tickets are $15. The show is open to all ages and the doors will open at 7:30 p.m.

Most memorable moments from the Grammys

The Grammys are often considered one of the biggest nights in music. Each year, the show promises amazing live performances filled with surprising moments. Here are (some) of the most notable moments of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
Could be time for a new host For the past few years, LL Cool J has hosted the Grammys and while he's done a pretty good job, it may be time for a new host. It'd be nice to bring some much needed variety to the show. He's a good host and CBS may not want to risk bringing in someone new but having the same guy host the show for four years in a row seems like overkill.
Could be time for a new host
There's no question about it — AC/DC is a legendary band and should be recognized as such, but its
Opening performance by AC/DC
opening performance at this year's Grammys was pretty weak. The performance as a whole was such an anticlimactic way to begin the show. AC/DC has been around for decades but the band's glory days are well behind it. It would have been nice to see a younger band get the chance to open the show.
Kanye West had his first performance at the Grammys since 2008 and he made his triumphant return by performing his incredibly heartfelt single "Only One." The song is from the perspective of his late mother as she looks upon the life of her son and his new family. The stage was very minimalistic, which was perfect as it matched the mood of the song. Kanye's mother meant a lot to him, and the last time he performed, she had recently passed. At that performance, he performed
Kanye's performance of "Only One"
his 2005 song "Hey Mama," which was dedicated to her. With all of that in mind, this performance was absolutely brilliant.
Only one week ago Katy Perry was entering University of Phoenix's stadium on a robotic Lion for her Super Bowl halftime show performance. After a performance so large, people might not have expected much from Perry but she actually gave one of the most memorable performances of the night. Great performances are expected out of artists of Perry's stature but it's pretty astonishing to have back-to-back great performances on two of the biggest nights in entertainment. After a message about domestic violence, Perry performed "By the Grace of God" which shared her own experience about an abusive relationship. A performance like this wasn't expected of Perry, but it was a nice change of pace
Katy Perry's Super Bowl follow-up performance
after her high-energy Super Bowl performance.
Slow paced
At this year's show, many of the performances involved slow-paced songs. There was very little variety and many of the songs had somber, depressing themes. This worked well for some performances, but for others it was incredibly boring.
Rihanna, Paul McCartney and Kanve West "FourFiveSeconds"
Rihanna, Kanye West and legendary member of the Beatles Sir Paul McCartney performed "FourFiveSeconds," which will be featured on Rihanna's upcoming album. The stage design was simple, similar to the music video for the song. The song features Rihanna and Kanye on vocals with McCartney on guitar. It's such an amazing thing to see a member of the Beatles collaborate with two modern artists, especially live. It was definitely one of the highlights of the night.
Sam Smith won big
Every year, there seems to be an artist who dominates the awards. This year that artist was Sam Smith. Smith had a great 2014 due to his breakout single "Stay With Me." Smith has carried his momentum into the Grammys, taking home awards for Song of the Year. Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist and Record of the Year.
The Grammys continued
the prospect of rap music
It's no secret that rap and the Grammys have had an estranged relationship. Rap is one of the most popular genres in the world but you wouldn't know that by watching the Grammys. This year, every rap award was awarded before the actual award show. This was strange because other genres had its awards given out during the actual show tine and last year "Best Rap Album" was awarded during the show.

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY/UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
For decades, films have emerged with bestselling novels to create famous images to go with our favorite stories, and consequently, produced images that stick in our memory forever.
The novel-film combo has been done successfully with many novels and series including "The Godfather," "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Twilight" and countless others.
A specific series of novels, "Fifty Shades of Grey," written by British novelist E.L. James, is the most popular erotic romance novel of the 21st century and will, like many other novels, become a favorite film following its release this Friday. Feb. 13.
But is the release date a coincidence or the icing on the cake to your Valentine's Day weekend? Since the novel hit shelves across America in 2011, a vast variety of opinions popped up on social media sites regarding the book's content.
According to Forbes, 100 million copies of the
After the release of the first "Fifty Shades of Grey" film, it is rumored there will be two sequels that will cover the other two books., "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed."
STEVE KRAFTEN
first book sold faster than any adult novel in history, evidence that many loved the book. There was even a special screening Feb. 5 in New York City open to 100 viewers, and the feedback was positive when talking about not just the movie, but also the more violent sex scenes. The viewers said it was a positive experience.
there is nothing romantic about it.
On the other hand, many are taking a different stance on this book and the soon-to-be-released film. Some believe the book makes women look feeble-minded and weak and that the book is essentially about domestic violence when parts of the story are taken out. Many people have taken to Twitter to express their disdain for the book and soon-to-be movie through the hashtag #fiftydollarsnotfifty-shades.
Tweets containing this tag have touched on the fact that, though the film premieres on Valentine's Day weekend.
For many fans, this is more than just a film; it's a new subculture. The notion of a book or film sparking a subculture is nothing new. "Twilight" forced viewers to side with Edward or Jacob and "Harry Potter" encouraged fans to figure out which house they would be in if they attended
Hogwarts.
While there are no teams per se with "Fifty Shades of Grey", the new "sex culture" that seems to have been created is generating controversy over less fictional predicaments and is encouraging conversations about hotly-debated topics that truly matter.

Jayhawks lose 15-point lead, fall 65-57 to Cowgirls
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
On layhawks for a Cure night, Kansas (13-11, 4-7) hosted Oklahoma State. Kansas, which has not defeated Oklahoma State since Jan. 18, 2012, had a lead, but could not hold on late, losing 65-57 to the Cowgirls.
The Cowgirls have won six straight against the Jayhawks in the past three seasons.

The layhawks got off to a hot start, making their first five shots of the game, which sparked a 7-0 run after a 4-all tie to lead 11-4 early on against the Cowgirls.
Kansas freshman Terriell Bradley rests during Saturday's game against Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls have now won six straight games against the Jayhawks.
Senior forward Chelsea Gardner scored her first eight points of the game in the first six minutes of the game.
Kansas made eight of its first 10 field goals in the first eight minutes of the first half.
The Jayhawks saw their lead of 15 evaporate midway through the first half as Oklahoma State sophomore guard Roshunda Johnson hit a three-pointer at the end of the first half to cut Kansas' lead to two.

In the second half, Kansas fell into a shooting slump making only 7-of-25 from the field. Kansas went 16-of-30 from the field in the first half.
"We knew coming in they were going to be aggressive and we had to match that," Oklahoma State junior guard Brittney Martin said.
The teams traded buckets, with neither developing a lead of more than three points throughout most of the half. But with 1:59 remaining, the Cowgirls took control, holding the Jayhawks to just one point to end the game. Back-to-back buckets by the Cowgirls gave them a five-point lead with 33 seconds remaining.

the doubles point despite picking up a win from the pair of junior Maria Jose Cardona and senior Maria Belen Ludueña to lead off doubles play. Ludueña followed up her doubles victory with a singles win against senior Anett Ferenczi-Bako of UNLV (1-6, 6-3, 6-1).
Kansas also got singles wins from freshmen Madison
Harrison 6-2, 2-6, 6-2, and Summer Collins 2-6, 6-7, 6-7, to keep the deficit to one point.
Coach Todd Chapman liked his team's energy but credited UNLV for its maturity.
"The effort was definitely there." Chapman said in a press release. "A big point here and there — I thought UNLV played more maturely and that was the difference in the
match."
Kansas followed up the strong, but ultimately losing, performance Friday with its first spring win in commanding fashion against New Mexico State on Saturday. The Jayhawks dominated the afternoon, winning 4-0.
Ludueña then defeated freshman Rimpledeep Kaur (6-0, 6-3) to claim a 3-0 Kansas lead.
Harrison completed the sweep with another two-set victory against senior Susana Alcaraz (6-2, 6-2).
"It feels good to get our first win," Chapman said. "We came out with great energy at two and three doubles and played really, really good tennis there."
Kansas capped its weekend with a 6-1 victory against Pacific on Sunday.
The Jayhawks swept doubles play to start the day. Collins and freshman Alexis Czapinski notched a convincing 6-1 victory in the first match. Another pair of freshmen sealed the doubles point, as Harrison and Smith Hinton won 6-2.

NCAA basketball coaching legend Dean Smith dies
DAN HARMSEN
@udk dan
Saturday, an honorary stillness swept through college basketball arenas around the country - a vigil for one of the game's classiest innovators. $ ^{*} $
Saturday, the basketball world lost a father, a role model and a progressive.
Saturday, Dean Smith died.
After a long struggle with advanced dementia, Dean Smith, long-time North Carolina basketball coach — the ninth winningest college coach of all time — died at age 83.
Sunday, as scoreboards flashed his likeness, players bowed their heads and the world offered up oral tribute, college basketball played the swan song of a life on the basketball court and off it in which a man gave more to this world than he took.
"Smith was the gold standard," former Duke player and current ESPN analyst Jay Bilas told ESPN. Bilas had four run-ins with Smith as an opponent on one of the game's biggest stages.
"Even though he coached the blood rival of my school, every time I had an interaction with Smith, he was very kind to me and always a gentleman. In a
game full of characters, Smith was a great character."
A great character reaped in the hills of North Carolina, but sowed in the plains of Kansas.
Born in nearby Emporia on Feb. 28, 1931, Smith attended Topeka High where he played basketball, football and baseball.
Basketball was his true love. He played varsity basketball at Kansas from 1949-1953 on academic scholarship in quest of a mathematics degree. Smith, coached by Phog Allen, was a major part of the 1952 national championship team his junior season.
It was a clean enterprise that put doing things the right way
After graduation, he hung around Lawrence as an assistant coach for the Jayhawks from 1953-1954 and then moved to the Air Force from 1954-1958 in a similar role before landing at what would become his final destination: North Carolina.
ahead of winning games. When it was all said and done, 96.6 percent of the athletes Smith was responsible for graduated with degrees. He also made progressive race-relation moves for the time, recruiting North Carolina's first black scholarship basketball player, Charlie Scott, in 1967.
Smith spent the 1958-1961 seasons as Tarheel assistant coach under Frank McGuire. He was then promoted to the head coaching position in 1961 following the revelation of a McGuire recruiting scandal. Smith would remain on the sidelines for 36 seasons.
Soon after Scott's recruitment, Smith's winning ways off the court began to translate into winning on the court. Threestraight ACC Championships to close out the 60s gave the program some steam.
He would finish with an overall head coaching record of 879-254. (776).
A two-time national champion with North Carolina (1982, 1993), his team made the Final Four 11 times — at least twice in every decade that he coached in Chapel Hill, N.C.
But unless you knew beforehand, an encounter with Smith wouldn't lead you to that information. Not about the National Coach of the Year award (four times), not about the championships, nor the rings.
For Smith, a tenet of basketball and a tenet for his life: A lion never roars after a kill.
"There have been a lot of
pillars in our profession over time," Kansas coach Bill Self said in a Kansas Athletics press release. "But one of the most classy and innovative coaches that our sport has ever known was coach Dean Smith."
He ran a fast-break and a trapping defense. His players would point to each other on assisted baskets. You shook the hand of your opponent win or lose. You let your game do the talking.
Smith is survived by four daughters, a son and countless adoring coaches, players, fans and friends.
Today, if yould like to catch a Tarheels game in Chapel Hill, you'll be doing so inside the Dean E. Smith Center.
"Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith," former Tarheel and NBA legend Michael Jordan told ESPN. "He was more than a coach — he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father."
On Saturday, the Lion left quietly. Humbly.
The legend of Dean Smith though, lives on.
It does so honorably. And it roars
And it roars.

Former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith smiles during a news conference in Chapel Hill, N.C., where he announced his retirement. Smith won two national championships, died "peacefully" at his home Saturday night, Feb. 7, the school said in a statement Sunday from Smith's family. He was 83.

uba's Yulieski Gourriel hits the ball during a Caribbean Series baseball game against Mexico, in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Monday.
Cuba defeats Mexico 3-2 to win 1st Caribbean Series since 1960
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Cuba won its first Caribbean Series championship since 1960 with a 3-2 victory over Mexico on Sunday, highlighted by Yulieski Gournier's eighth inning homer.
The victory marked a return for Cuba to its winning ways in the regional baseball series it used to dominate before Cuban stars were barred by its
government in 1961 from playing professionally overseas. Cuba returned to the round-robin tournament last year but made a quick exit.
Cuba out-hit Mexico 11-4 on the way to this year's title, a day after dominating Venezuela 8-4 for a shot at the championship played this year in the U.S. Caribbean territory of Puerto Rico.
It was the first time that top Cuban players got a chance to compete on the U.S. island since Cuba and the United States moved to normalize relations. Dozens of major league scouts traveled to the Caribbean
Series almost exclusively to assess Cuban talent.
Cuban starter Yosvani Torres was dominant for six innings on Sunday night, striking out five. Frederick Cepeda had a two-out RBI single, scoring Gourriel, in the first to give Cuba the early lead.
They went up 2-0 in the second inning when Luis Yander singled in a run.
But Mexico, looking for its third consecutive title in the regional series, wasn't done yet.
In the bottom of the eighth, Eric Farris hit a two-out RBI single to right to make it 3-2 but Meneses flied out to right to end the inning.
Mexico pulled within a run in the fifth after Joey Meneses led off the inning with a double. He scored on a single by Walter Ibarra.
Cuba scored again in the eighth inning when Gourriel led off with a home to left.
"The Cuban team gave themselves more opportunities than we did offensively." Mexico Manager Benjamin Gil said.

On the men's side, Kansas grabbed the first place in the 3,000 meters for the third straight meet, this time junior Jacob Morgan finishing top position.
The final two wins came in the 4-x-400 meter relay, with both the men's and women's teams finishing first. The women's relay team of junior Rhavean King and sophomores Adriana Newell, Whitney Adams and Zainab Sanni ended with a time of 3:45.20, finishing just five-tenths of a second ahead of
The Kansas track and field team traveled to Lincoln, Neb., to compete in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational Friday and Saturday, where the Jayhawks brought home four event victories.
The first win came on the women's side, where sophomore Nashia Baker notched the first spot in the mile. She was followed by two other Jayhawks, junior Kelli McKenna and freshman Alaina Schroeder, to complete the top three sweep of the event.
Maryland.
The relay team of seniors Michael Stigler, Kenneth McCuin and Jaime Wilson and freshman Tre Daniels finished in 3:12.90, just edging Iowa for the win.
Junior pole vaulter Casey Bowen capped a successful showing with a second place finish, jumping to a personal best height of 17 feet 11 inches.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the team's showing was one of the best of the season, and hopes to add to the Jayhawks' success in the next meet.
"It was a much better team effort and that has been something that the coaches and I have been really trying to emphasize a lot more," Redwine said in the University's press release.
Kansas will split into two separate teams in the coming weekend, as one team will compete in the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa and the other will head down to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the Tyson Invitational hosted by Arkansas.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
Le'Bryan Nash charged on Devonte' Graham with 10:52 to play in the first half. Following a Brannen Greene three-pointer, Nash drove to the lane and was called for a charge on Devonte' Graham. This sparked a 10-3 run for Kansas into the third media timeout. After a 6-0 Cowboy run, Frank Mason III hit a three to silence the crowd with 3:27 left to play in the first half. Kansas reclaimed a nine-point lead but more importantly slowed down the Cowboy's momentum.
2ND HALF
Wayne Selden Jr. tried to extend the second-half lead to 14 points on a breakaway, but was caught from behind and fouled. Coach Bill Self said Selden converting the layup was a turning point in the game. Nash had a wide-open dunk that sparked the crowd and brought the deficit to eight. The proceeding Kansas in-bounds pass was stolen by Anthony Hickey, which was converted into a layup and Oklahoma State brought the game within six. That sequence was the start of the 14-0 OSU run.
GAME TO REMEMBER
M. B. ALZARA
GAME TO FORGET
According to coach Bill Self, no one on the Kansas team had a good game. Perry Ellis put up the best numbers with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Ellis didn't shoot the ball well, shooting 4-for-12 from the field, but he stayed aggressive on the glass and recorded his second double-double in the past three games.
This was a toss up between Kelly Oubre Jr. and Devonte' Graham. Oobre wasn't effective at all and ended up playing only 14 minutes. He scored one point and had three rebounds but also missed two wide open three-pointers and all three field-goal attempts.
UNSUNG HERO
M. C. LEE
The sophomore was an underlying reason Kansas was ahead in the game. Wayne Selden Jr.started the game making both three-point attempts and finished with 15 points, shooting 4-for-6 from three. When Kansas was having trouble finding its offense in the second half, Selden hit two contested three-pointers to keep Kansas in the game late.

Kansas struggles for second-half shots in 67-62 loss to Oklahoma State
Sophomore foward Landen Lucas jumps to score over Oklahoma State defenders. The Jayhawks traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to play against OSU on Saturday. The Jayhawks lost 67-62 against the Cowboys in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
At Oklahoma State this past Saturday, Kansas held a 41-30 halftime lead and appeared to be headed toward a sixthstraight win. Sophomore guard Frank Mason III, sophomore guard Brannen Greene and freshman forward Cliff Alexander dominated the first half, combining for 27 points and 10-of-11 shooting.
As usual, coach Bill Self opted to go with his first half starters to start the second. With that lineup, Kansas allowed an 8-1 Oklahoma State run before Self decided to reinsert Alexander.
Jamari Traylor per 40 minutes: 9.4 points; 7.4 rebounds; 2.5 blocks; 13.6 PER; 49.4 percent true shooting.
After things settled down, the Jayhawks got a couple of good looks at the rim, but on the other end, the Cowboys hit a pair of heavily contested threes. Self called a timeout where he replaced Alexander with sophomore forward Landen Lucas. Alexander was a little slow on his hedge of Oklahoma State junior guard Phil Forte, who scored 13 points for the night. Despite that, Kansas guarded Oklahoma State pretty well overall.
Across the board, Alexander has been playing better than Traylor. It isn't close.
It's time for something to be done. It's time for Self to change the lineup. It's time to start Cliff Alexander.
In the first half, Alexander played 12 minutes in which Kansas outrebounded Oklahoma State 20-9 and outscored them by 11. In the second half, Alexander played just four minutes. With him absent, Oklahoma State outrebounded Kansas 26-15 and outscored them by 16.
In its past seven games, Kansas has lost twice. Alexander played a total of 30 minutes while Traylor played 38. Alexander shot 7-of-8 (87.5 percent) from the field and Traylor is 3-of-12 (25 percent). Alexander had 10 rebounds to two turnovers. Traylor had eight and six, respectively.
Junior forward Jamari Traylor had another shaky outing. He scored only eight points and gave up six turnovers. Alexander scored the same amount of points while only turning the ball over once. Traylor played 23 minutes while Alexander totaled 16.
Cliff Alexander per 40 minutes: 17.2 points; 12.5 rebounds; 2.9 blocks; 24.7 PER; 60.9 percent true shooting.
— Edited by Samantha Darling
Now, despite the loss, Kansas is still first in the Big 12. Self is still a fantastic coach with a tremendous track record, but that doesn't mean he's perfect.
After the game, Self said he was unhappy with his team's rebounding. That is somewhat comical given that he handcuffed Alexander, one of his best rebounders, to the bench for much of the night.
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
For the second season in a row, No. 8 Kansas fought its way off Eddie Sutton Court through a mob of Oklahoma State students, only shaking the coaching staff's hands. OSU's players were busy celebrating a 67-62 upset victory against the Jayhawks at center court.
With three players shooting 60 percent or better from the three-point line, Kansas failed to get a shot up when it mattered most. Down three, with under a minute to play, a Brannen Greene two-point attempt was the only shot the Jayhawks could get off.
"We ran an elevator-door to Brannen [Greene] for a three," coach Bill Self said. "They ran through it and stopped it. We didn't execute all game."
The sloppy play continued after a missed Oklahoma State free throw with seconds to play. Greene hurried up the floor, looking to decrease the Cowboy's lead, but lost
the ball out of bounds with 2.3 seconds to play, ending all Kansas' hopes of a comeback.
The Jayhawks struggled to get shots up due to Oklahoma State's full-court pressure in the second half of the game. Kansas committed 18 turnovers against the Cowboys and was unable to set itself up for easy baskets.
"Eighteen turnovers are far too many," Self said. "Their pressure really got us out of our rhythm."
Kansas had trouble converting on offense all afternoon. Midway through the first half, Le'Bryan Nash and Michael Cobbins were on the bench with two fouls,watching as Kansas had gotten out to a 10-point lead. The Jayhawks have struggled with burying teams all season, and it finally came back to hurt them. While dominating most of the first half, Kansas was never able to extend its lead to more than 12.
Historically, the Jayhawks have not been as dominant in Stillwater as in most places.
now holding a slim 35-33 edge in the all-time series, with Oklahoma State having won four of the past six. This has been as competitive of a series as Kansas has had in recent memory. In the past seven meetings between the two teams, Kansas leads Oklahoma State 499-496 on the scoreboard.
The Cowboys played harder and faster than the Jayhawks, looking to prove their home court advantage is just as influential as that of Allen Fieldhouse. OSU is now 11-2 at home this season.
"The crowd was unbelievable," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. "We really appreciate all the fans and their support, and it was loud. It was very, very loud and that made a difference for us."
After heading into halftime with an 11-point deficit, the Cowboys emerged out of the locker room ready to play. OSU started the half on a 14-1 run, eventually taking the lead from Kansas for the first time since early in the
first half.
Nash was the Cowboys' motor in the second half, recording 12 points and being nearly automatic from the free-throw line. Nash played bigger than Kansas' forwards all game and it showed in the eventual box score.
["Le'Bryan] Nash was the best player on the floor," Self said. "He outplayed whoever of our bigs were out there all game."
Nash finished the game with 18 points and five rebounds while shooting 8-9 from the free-throw line. Junior forwards Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor combined for 18 points on 7-19 shooting from the field.
Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. stayed hot in the second half of the contest, converting on 3-4 from beyond the arc. Selden is now 9-11 from behind the arc in his last two games.
Selden's efforts fell shy, due to the lack of help received from his teammates. Aside from Selden's 4-6 from the field, the rest of the team shot
36 percent from the floor, including a 4-12 night from Ellis.
"We never got Perry [Ellis] going at all." Self said. "We need to get him going and be a numbers guy. He's our best offensive player."
On an off-night from Kansas' point guard, sophomore Frank Mason III managed to 'extend his streak of double-digit scoring and two or more assists to 20 straight games. Mason finished the first half 3-3 from deep with nine points, but like most of his teammates, his second-half efforts fell short, finishing with only 10 points total.
Up next, the Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock, Texas, to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Kansas defeated Texas Tech 86-54 at home earlier this season.
"We have to regroup and get ready to go to practice tomorrow and get better," Ellis said. "This hurts, but we have to regroup."

For the Kansas softball team, the Florida Atlantic Tournament ended almost exactly like it began on Friday: with an 8-0 fifth inning blowout victory against an overmatched team. Kansas dismantled the Penn State Nittany Lions, capping off an incredibly encouraging 5-0 start for the Jayhawks.
Senior pitcher Alicia Pille was the star of Sunday's victory, throwing a perfect game and shutting out Penn State. Pille only allowed one walk to the second batter of the game. Pille struck out six Nittany Lions in what could be the first of many

"We're going to enjoy today's win and this weekend's performance for the rest of the day," Smith said in a press release. "I'm really proud of our girls for coming out early this morning, having energy and being ready to attack. I'm proud of Pille for her performance in the circle."
dominant performances for the senior.
Kansas coach Megan Smith gave some perspective on her team's performance this weekend.
On offense, the Jayhawks scored runs in four of the five innings played, including three each in the second and third innings. Senior infielder Chanin Naudin led all players with three hits and two RBIs. Sophomore Taylor McElhaney continued her strong start to the season with one hit on two at-bats and one RBI. Senior Maddie
Stein reached base four times in the game.
"We think (our hitters) have been too aggressive in the last few games, so we really wanted them to focus on getting their pitch and not just swing at the first one that's close," Smith said in a press release. "We challenged them to be aggressive, but be smart and aggressive, and they did that very well today."
WEEKEND RECAP
The Jayhawks had a strong start to the 2015 season. Through a combination of blowouts and come-from-behind victories, Kansas has a 5-0 record. In wins against Arkansas and Georgia Tech, the Jayhawks showed a lot of toughness and grit to come back and get the victory against tough teams.
Some of the most encourag ing weekend
performances came from Stein, McElhaney and senior Challey Brickey. On the new season, Stein is tied for the lead in hits for the Jayhawks with five and has the best batting average on the team (.500).
Brickey, who led the Jayhawks in almost all offensive categories in 2014, continued her strong showing as the team's best power hitter, coming up with several big hits in the Georgia Tech and Arkansas wins. She is also tied for the lead with four runs scored and one home run. In addition to these stats, Brickey also leads the team with two stolen bases.
McElhaney has been one of the biggest surprises of the season. She came up with one of the biggest hits of the weekend, hitting a clutch RBI in the seventh
inning against Arkansas to give the Jayhawks a walk-off win. McElhaney has shown she could be one of the big breakout stars this season.
Kansas' performance in the Florida Atlantic Tournament showed the Jayhawks are more than ready for the challenging nonconference schedule ahead of them. This 5-0 start should give the Jayhawks confidence that they have the ability to compete and win against teams like Florida, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as to make it back to the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks will be back in action next weekend when they travel to Las Cruces, N.M., to compete in the Troy Cox Classic to play Bradley, New Mexico State and Weber State.

Kansas junior to release
newest EP this month

Mac Miller and Cody Simpson are just some of the artists he has toured with. His first song was a hit on the radio station Hot 103 Jamz and he had already been offered a record deal in the U.K. before he had even graduated high school. For Izzy Lee, a junior from Overland Park, his impressive resume of accomplishments is only the beginning. There is a
plethora of new opportunities ahead he said he can't wait to dive in to.
One of the most recent opportunities arose when he began working on an anthem for the University. Fred Quartlebaum, director of student athlete development, has been discussing the possibility of Lee, along with a producer, creating a University theme song of sorts. Lee pitched the song to Quartlebaum on Monday and said he expects to know by the
end of the week if the project will move forward.
"It's themed around KU basketball and aims to keep up with the spirit of that," Lee said. "We think it'll reverberate well with the students. We really want it to be a whole new type thing, there hasn't been a KU-themed song or artist representing the team or the school in general."

This story is the first in a Kansan series on student activists at the University. Check tomorrow's Kansan for another story.
Leigh Loving was 20 meters from the finish line of her race at cross country regionals in high school when she felt her throat closing and found herself unable to breathe. She
fell to the ground, managing to use the last energy she had to crawl, hand over hand, to the finish line. As a result, her team went to the state finals.
Loving, a senior from McPherson, was diagnosed shortly thereafter with vocal cord dysfunction, a condition she still has today. Her own health problems sparked her interest in medicine and the need for health services in other parts of the world.
Today, Loving is the founder of Jayhawk Health Initiative, a University program that gives KU students experience providing health services to poor people in other countries. So far, more than 100 students have participated in trips to Panama and Guatemala and served more than 1,000 residents in the two countries, Loved said.
It was only four years ago when Loving walked into the office of Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, the former senior vice provost, and told her she wanted to take students on a medical mission to Guatemala.
"I thought it would never happen," McCluskey-Fawcett said.

Loving spent hours working with the University to get visas and permission for 27 student volunteers to go on the mission. McCluskey-Fawcett said she realized she was not dealing with a typical freshman.
"I had never seen any students do anything like this," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
"Her leadership skills blew me away."
Six weeks after Loving stepped on campus as a freshman, she was leading a group of students from the Lawrence campus and KU's medical school to Panajachel, Guatemala, in collaboration with Heart to Heart, a relief and volunteer organization

Student Senate travels to Topeka to propose laws

DAILY DEBATE 8
Members of Student Senate will travel to the Capitol in Topeka tomorrow to propose three policies to state legislatures for Higher Education Day.
One of the proposed laws is the "lifeline 911" amnesty policy. This policy would allow underage students who seek medical attention while drinking the ability to be exempt from legal ramifications.
Student Body President Morgan Said and Kansas State Student Body President Reagan Kays will be testifying on behalf of this proposed law.

Don't Forget
According to a press release from the Kansas Board of Regents Student Advisory Committee, students from Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas, Washburn University
and Wichita State University are expected to speak with more than 100 legislators at the Kansas Statehouse on Feb. 10 as part of Higher Education Dav.
"Student Senate's job is to advocate on the local and national level." Said said. "This is our duty as student government to speak to the state about what we feel is most important in higher education."
For Said, testifying at Higher Education Day is incredibly important to her.
Another proposed law will be tax-exempt textbooks. Student Senate proposed this at Higher Education Day last year, where it passed in the house but failed in the senate. Said said Student Senate gained traction with the proposal last year and is hoping to finally push it through tomorrow.
Student Senate will also be advocating for general higher education funding.
MORGAN SAID Student body president
"Student Senate's job is to advocate on the local and national level."
"My biggest hope is the legislators would see our perspective," Admussen said. "So many times they make these decisions and don't see the cost to students. We're busy and we go to class, a lot of times our voice doesn't get heard and this is about making them understand these students at KU do matter."
For Government Relations Director Will Admussen, traveling to Higher Education Day is the most effective way to show legislators what University students need.

Legal Services offers tax help for students
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@kansannews
. Legal Services for Students offers free tax help for KU students
The University's Legal Services for Students is holding 41 free workshops to help students file taxes before the April 15 deadline.
The workshop dates and times can be found on Legal Services' website, legalservices.ku.edu. The workshops are free to students, paid through tuition fees.
"Part of the reason why I think it is good to do [taxes] yourself is that this is the easiest time to do this for students," said Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services. "Most students think their parents can do it for them, but it is a valuable skill to learn how to do [taxes] yourself." In 2014, these workshops helped 1,600 students, Hardesty said.
Legal Services provides free software for students with income under $60,000 to use to file taxes. Students can go to the workshops for help with the software or access the software online through the Legal Services website.
"There are lot of different education credits and deductions that are available
to students that they're not aware of," said Zach Lyman, a third-year law student from Manhattan, Kan., who helps students at the workshops. "So when we help them we make sure they save as much money as possible."
Taxes must be filed by April 15, but students can benefit from filing early. Tax information is required for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and students can potentially get more aid if the FAFSA is turned in before March 1, according to KU's Financial Aid website.
Lyman said the Affordable Health Care act will make some changes to the way taxes will be filed this year.
If a student's tax situation is complicated, Lyman said students can make an appointment with an attorney.
[Law students who help file taxes] are all pretty well-prepared and we do the research before the [tax] season starts," Lyman said. "So we're pretty well-versed and can handle most questions. Health care will be a little bit of a change this year, but for the most part, [taxes] are pretty similar from year to year."

"They [KU Med] identified a need for some additional training in business topics within the nursing community because of the administration responsibilities in a management role that you just don't learn about when getting a nursing degree," Byrd-Stadler said.
Administrators from the School of Business met with Tammy Peterman, chief nursing officer of the University of Kansas Hospital, and Chris Ruder, vice president of Patient Care Services. During the meeting, course topics were decided, as well as the professors who would teach them.

The School of Business has put a nurse manager training program into motion at the University of Kansas Hospital (KU Med).
"Business Concepts in Healthcare" is a nineweek program that began in January. Although the hospital remains separate from the college, the program is taught entirely by University professors.

David Byrd-Stadler, the director of corporate and community engagement in the School of Business, said KU Med approached the school with the idea.

"It's not so much teaching as it is sharing information through presentation," Welch said. "The nurses know they won't be tested on this, but they're still eager to learn."
While there's no doubt these nurses are learning, Peterman said he believes the exchange of information is going both ways between KU Med and the School of Business.
Peterman and Ruder are actually participating in the program themselves. Peterman said there's no guarantee the program will be recurring.
School of Business Teaching Fellow and instructor Kelly Welch has been teaching concepts like understanding financial statements and examining fraud.
Each week is a different seminar, with subjects ranging from finances and strategic leadership to communication.
areas and came up with examples in ways to tie the business concepts to nursing leadership," Peterman said.
The program will continue through the beginning of April, and whether or not it will return next year remains unknown.
"The learning goes both ways. The School of Business is getting a feel for our side of things, as well." Peterman says.

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — A jury was seated Monday in the trial of a man charged with killing the former Navy SEAL depicted in the Oscar-nominated movie "American Sniper," with the judge estimating no more than two dozen people were dismissed from service because of publicity about the case.
Ten women and two men will serve as jurors for Eddie Ray Routh's trial, which starts Wednesday with opening statements. Routh, a former Marine, is charged with capital murder in the deaths of 38-year-old Chris Kyle and Kyle's friend, 35-year-old Chad Littlefield. Kyle and Littlefield were trying to help Routh when prosecutors say he shot them at a Texas gun range in 2013.
The movie based on Kyle's memoir as a celebrated sniper who served four tours in Iraq has grossed nearly $300 million. In response to the attention paid to the Kyle case, officials called in more than four times as many potential jurors as they would for a regular trial. Yet it took just one day to seat the panel, after a screening process last week
Judge Jason Cashon denied defense motions to delay the trial or move it to a different county and noted how few potential jurors were dismissed because of pretrial
Simply reading Kyle's book or seeing the movie — which ends with a depiction of Kyle meeting Routh, followed by footage from Kyle's funeral — weren't grounds for dismissal. Instead, potential jurors were asked if they could set aside what they had already heard.

ROUTH FAMILY, ERATH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE/ASSOCIATED PRESS Eddie Routh, a former Marine, is accused of killing Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield on Feb. 2, 2013.
Routh's attorneys plan to pursue an insanity defense. Prosecutors won't seek the death penalty. He faces life in prison without parole if convicted.
Family members have said Routh, 27, struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder after leaving the Marines in 2010. The small arms technician served in Iraq and was deployed to earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Kyle took Routh to the shooting range after Routh's mother asked if he could help her son.
About two hours after Kyle, Littlefield and Routh arrived at Rough Creek Lodge and Resort on Feb. 2, 2013, an employee discovered the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield at the remote range.
Kyle made more than 300 kills as a sniper for SEAL Team 3, according to his own count and earned two Silver Stars for valor. After leaving the military, Kyle volunteered with veterans facing mental health problems, often taking them shooting.
Authorities say Routh drove to his sister's house in Kyle's truck, telling her and her husband that he had killed Kyle and Littlefield.

Boyfriend charged with homicide after autopsy in student's death
GY BARD HALL
RICHARD HERTZLER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILLERSVILLE University students enter Bard Hall on the Millersville University campus in Millersville, Pa., Monday. Police say a student, Millersville freshman Franken Karlie Hall, died in her room early Sunday.
MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press
MILLER$VILLE, Pa. — The boyfriend of a college freshman found dead in her dorm room was charged Monday with homicide after an autopsy found she had been severely beaten and strangled, during a struggle in which a prosecutor said she "fought for her life."
Police officers responding to a 911 call early Sunday from the boyfriend, Gregorio Orrostieta, 19, said they found him trying to administer CPR to Karlie Hall, 18, his own face, hands and jeans smeared with blood, his shirt ripped, his chest scratched and his forehead cut, a police affidavit said.
Authorities believe the CPR was "completely fake," and that Hall had already been dead for hours when Orrostiea called them to Millersville University, claiming the young woman had suffered a heart attack, said Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman.
Questioned by police, Orrostieta said he shoved Hall, causing her to fall and hit her head on a chair, and then gave her a "back hand" to the face, the affidavit said. But he made no mention of choking her.
"He's responsible and we're going to hold him accountable," Stedman told a news conference to announce the homicide charge. He had been charged only with aggravated assault pending the autopsy.
"She fought for her life," the prosecutor said.
The dorm's video surveillance confirmed that no one else entered or left the room during the time when a struggle was heard in the dorm room.
The couple, both from the Philadelphia suburbs, had been dating about 11 months. Orrostieta, of Kennett Square, is not a Millersville student. He was being held without bail. The prosecutor said he did not have a lawyer on record, and no one answered the door at his residence Monday afternoon.
Orostieta told police that he and Hall, 18, of Chadds Ford, had argued at a party Saturday night and she had hit him, the affidavit said. They made up before returning to the dorm at around 1:30 a.m. and arguing again, the affidavit said. Stedman declined to say if there
was a history of abuse.
Steedman said witnesses reported hearing yelling and the sound of furniture moving between 2 and 2:30 a.m., about the time authorities believe Hall was killed.
The dorm's resident assistant knocked on the door, but no one answered and no further sound was heard, authorities said.
Police found Hall unresponsive when they arrived at Bard Hall after getting the 911 call at about 5 a.m., authorities said.
Asked about the resident assistant not calling police, Stedman said: "They're not criminal investigators. Their responsibility is ... to make sure there's no more disturbances going on."
University spokeswoman Janet Kacskos said the RA was awoken by other residents who heard the noise. After knocking and not getting any response, she figured they had "quieted down". Kacskos said.
In a note to students, Millersville President John Anderson called Hall's death "unfathomable." An outdoor memorial was planned for Monday night at Millersville, an 8,000-student state-owned university.
"It's something that we'll look at," he said while adding: "I don't want in any way anybody taking out of this press conference today that anybody's responsible for her death other than the defendant who's charged."
"We've never had this happen. We're a pretty bucolic, rural campus. Very safe," Kaccsos said.
Friends said Hall was a finance major who always appeared happy and often spent her free time going to the gym or feeding ducks at a campus pond.
"I knew that the relationship wasn't great," said Hall's friend, Trisha Faust, 19, of Emmaus. "It was on-again, off-again."
Molly Gaetano, 19, of Pittsburgh, who lived two doors down from Hall on the second floor of the three-story dormitory, said she last spoke to her Friday.
"She never talked bad about anyone. She was always smiling and cheerful," Gaetano said.
A memorial with flowers and cards was set up at Hall's dorm room.

Her work did not go unnoticed back in Kansas. The University's public relations staff made her project a story and video on its homepage. Loving also was the first recipient of the Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett Outstanding Contribution Award, a scholarship created in honor of the former vice provost. McCluskey-Fawcett said she was approached about the idea of creating a scholarship in her name before her retirement in 2013.
teaching her how to brush her teeth and how grateful it made me to realize how lucky I am, and even though this is happening in Guatemala, it is also happening here in Lawrence."
"The award was made because of Leigh," she said. "I thought of her before I even thought of what the scholarship should be for."
In her final semester at the University, Loving has pushed
Jayhawk Health Initiative to get involved in the community. So far, the group has helped students sign up for the Affordable Care Act and take CPR classes.
The final mark Loving hopes to leave on the University is the creation of a new class that will explore global health issues and include volunteering in a foreign country. Loving said she hopes the course, which doesn't have an official name or department yet, will be available in the fall.
Loving said she hopes to become a doctor who specializes in treating illnesses involving the lungs.
One lesson she'll carry with her is how to let others know you care, even when they don't speak the same language. Sometimes, a the best communication is a simple gesture or facial expression.
"A smile is its own universal language," Loving said.

As much as I usually love 96.5 and the hosts' commentary, listening to their comments felt completely wrong. No matter a teacher's age or appearance, it's wrong for teachers to sleep with their students. Yet, all we're concerned with here is whether or not she's hot?
Back in 2006, "South Park" released an episode titled "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy" where one of the female teachers sleeps with five year-old Ike. Instead of being concerned about the kid, the public sympathizes with Miss Teacher because she's attractive.
While the plot is far-fetched, the social commentary is still applicable. Nine years separate the "South Park" episode and Poe. Nine years and we are still fixated on

Lafave made the Top 10 list, and Letourneau is on another list of female sex offenders ranked based on their looks.

Tax code benefits privileged, hinders poor
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
Some of us pay them Snow and others dread paying them in the future: taxes. Taxation is a reality we must all eventually face. Wouldn't it be nice for this requirement of civilization to be simple, efficient, and above all, fair? Unfortunately, the present U.S. tax system possesses none of these qualities. The system is so complex that the tax code, at almost 4 million words, could be recycled and used to print the entire Harry Potter series almost four times.
According to a 2013
article from The Economist. Americans collectively spent 6.1 billion hours every year sifting through the tax code. That time could be better spent working, studying, innovating and caring for families. Instead, 59 percent of filers hire accountants to receive help with their tax returns, spending anywhere between $261-$400, according to the National Society of Accountants. This is certainly a lot more than they would otherwise spend on taxes alone. As future laborers in the burgeoning 21st-century economy, avoiding unnecessary tax costs, both in time and money, should be of importance to us.
What makes the tax code so complicated? The answer resides with the mirag of deductions, exemptions and credits that lie within, known as "tax expenditures." Pushed by lobbyists and special interest groups, Congress
carves out special incentives for large corporations, the privileged and upper-middle class. By pandering to these groups, many politicians can expect their pockets to be bursting come campaign season, and ordinary Americans can expect tax forms that make even less sense. If filling out the FAFSA seems complicated now, there is no telling what it will be like in the future if this corrupt trend continues.
Many politically concerned students wish to uphold institutions that promote fairness. In my view, the federal government's tax system enforces existing systems of privilege that promote the powerful and oppress the poor. Concerned citizens, including students, should investigate any notion of such oppression.
as for the everyman. This is no coincidence as politicians rely on campaign donations from this very demographic. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office reports that 50 percent of all tax expenditures go to the top 20 percent of income earners. Even if more of these expenditures were available to the poor, chances are the underprivileged would be unable to access them as few are able to hire accountants.
The solution to this tax complexity is simple: We must be rid of every single tax expenditure. At the same time, tax rates should be lowered at the same rate that tax breaks are reduced. Currently,the effective tax rates for many individuals are significantly lower than the rate assigned to their tax bracket due to deductions. This proposed change would mean that the actual income tax rate for individuals would
The vast amount of tax expenditures fall on the wealthy, despite being sold
equal their current effective tax rate. The burden of taxes would not increase, and the federal government would kill fewer trees every time they print the tax code.
With over 6 billion more hours at Americans' disposal, eliminating all tax expenditures while lowering rates would make the United States' population vastly more productive — and we would not have to badger our parents as much for their financial information every spring. Tax evasion would be reduced, which could chip away at our future deficits. There would only be a small set of people who would lose out with this policy: accountants, bureaucrats and politicians. If you ask me, that is a small price to pay for progress.

Lee is currently signed with Concore Entertainment, a group under Universal Records. After positive reaction from radio listeners, Lee sent his song "True Love Story" to producer Toby Gad who flew him to L.A. to work with singer Jessica Jarell. Since then, Lee has worked with various artists and interns at Sony as an account manager. Moving forward, Lee said deciding where he wants to take his music is the hardest part.

Two types of images are available on iTunes.
"It's complicated," he said. "I've been thinking about it a lot. I've had so many opportunities that came and went because I thought too long. I'm interning with Sony right now as a rep for them, but then I'm like 'What do I want to do? I love this but then I love this one too.' Both music and working with Sony require so much work and so much effort."
Izzy Lee, a student from Overland Park, was offered a record deal in the U.K. before he graduated high school. Two of Lee's singles are available on iTunes.
In addition to holding down a job, interning and working on his music for his label, Lee is also striving be the first in his family to graduate from college. He said he turned down a deal from Vibe Entertainment in the U.K. in order to stay in school.
"You got to go' to school," he said. "I would have had to quit school and that is one big thing with me. I can always continue with music. I'm graduating next year, so I'll have more than enough time and more knowledge to write about."
Lee said he looks up to artists like J. Cole and Kanye West because they have both been successful in the industry and have also graduated from college. Lee said having a strong work ethic built up in college is crucial to knowing how to persevere in the difficult music industry.
"That's what I want to be about," he said. "Education is a big part of it, it builds you up."
Lee has stuck with his passion even when times were tough, from dry spells in writing music to no call-backs while still learning how to balance all that he has taken on. His mother, Angie Lee, said she's proud of how her son handles the trials that come from being in the music business.
"I love the way he handles setbacks," she said. "He pushes through and doesn't linger on them, it's part of life. He rolls with it. I'm glad I was able to have a hand in instilling that. He sets his mind to do something, and he makes it happen."
She said she always knew he was talented but never expected music to be what her son wanted to pursue in the long
LEE'S MOST RECENT EP, ILLIFFIC, WILL HIT ITUNES FEB. 28. TWO OTHER SINGLES, XPENSIVE TASTE AND RIDE AROUND CHICK, ARE ALREADY AVAIL-ABLE ON ITUNES.
"I thought it was like all little boys who stand in front of the mirror with his mic," she said. "It became a passion for him, and I realized it was more than playing in the mirror. I really don't think he has a cap. The sky's the limit."

for eight years and shares similar sentiments. Johnson compares Lee to artists like Drake and J.Cole and Lee is one of the most talented young men he's met, both musically and personality-wise.
"He has such a wide range of abilities," Johnson said. "He's extremely talented. A lot of people are into electronic stuff instead of a real art form, he's a true artist. You get a lot of artists who all talk about their work and their success, but he's so humble. I can't say humble enough."
"It makes me hungry because I've been told before that my songs are at a point where they need to be higher in acclaim because they sound like artists that you see at the Grammys or something like that," Lee said. "The opportunities I've had, I'm very excited for, but I'm hungrier for more."
Lee's mother said the example he sets for his two younger sisters and the way Lee carries himself at a young age is enough to make any mother proud.
"For such a young man to have learned balance at such a young age, I'm so proud of him," she said. "As long as you can maintain balance, your life can be on an even field. I raised him to be a man, and I'm very proud of the man he is today."

Grammys more of star-studded concert than award ceremony
Though West was granted a performance slot and later reappeared on stage to poke fun at himself during Beck's acceptance speech, the genre of hip-hop as a whole continues to be largely underrepresented at the Grammys, just one more unchanging element of the awards show.
The article said the awards were handed out at "blitz-krieg speed" and that since the televised Grammys are more crammed than ever with musical performances, "many categories have been sent across the road: Dozens of golden gramophones are distributed at the Nokia Theater before the main event at the Staples Center begins."
Big-name artists such as Jack White, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera and many more all won awards during the preshow, but were nowhere to be seen during the live telecast except for a possible glimpse on the red carpet.
Artists such as Kendrick Lamar (Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for "i") and Eminem (Best Rap Album for "MMLP2") were included in the list of the 74 Grammys awarded prior to the actual event. As an article from Vibe pointed out in regards to Lamar's awards, "If no one is around to see you bask in the well-deserved win... does it even exist?"
The International Business Times reported that the 2015 Grammys were the lowest-rated since 2009, though since 2010 "the Grammys have been enjoying a resurgence of sorts, which some have attributed to the advent of Twitter and other social media sites." The publication also reported that according to Twitter, Kanye West was among the five most-mentioned artists of the night while Beck, the artist causing controversy for winning Album of the Year over Beyoncé, didn't make the cut.
Regardless of who made an appearance during the Grammys — either for a performance or an acceptance speech — ratings for

The Grammys allotted time for 23 performances yet only granted enough time for nine award announcements — a startling contrast. A Rolling Stone article called attention to the method of filling the Grammy Pre-Show with the rest of the awards and a handful of performances deemed less worthy with its headline alone: "Inside the Grammys 2015 Pre-Show: 74 Trophies in 195 Minutes."
it can become increasingly enticing to fall into habit and follow the path of the past. Sunday marked the 57th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony, which featured LL Cool J as the host for the fourth consecutive year. Asking him back year after year is not the only consistency with the Grammys, though; replacing award announcements with powerful performances has been a recurring theme for the ceremony as well.

If the intention of inundating the ceremony with a lengthy list of performances is to boost ratings, it may be time to consider a return to the primary purpose of the ceremony — to recognize and reward the most talented players in the industry.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will be the MVP for Kansas baseball this year?
Kylan Whitmer
@KRWhitmer
"DREW MOROVICK"
After last year's pitching rotation losses, right-hander Drew Morovick will step up and be the Jayhawks' MVP this season.
Morovick will return for his senior season and fill the void left by last season's starters who left after signing professional contracts. Frank Duncan, Robert Kahana and Jordan Piche' all received All-Big 12 honors last year while on the mound, and together they pitched over half of the Jayhawks' innings last season.
Saying there are some big shoes to fill for this season is an understatement, but Morowick is up for the challenge, as he will return after playing his best season yet.
In 2014, Morovick started a career-high nine games for the Jayhawks and appeared in 25 games total. In those 25 games he posted a 10-4 record, not only leading the team in wins, but leading the Big 12 conference as well in a three-way tie.
After leading the conference in wins for last season, Morovick enters the 2015 season as the Big 12's active leader for career wins.
Morovick earned his 10th win late last season against Kentucky, the two seed in the regional. This was arguably his best performance as he relieved starter Jordan Piche',
who gave up five earned runs in just four innings which allowed Kentucky to tie the game at six. Morovick pitched a stellar three and one-third innings of scoreless relief, allowing just one hit as the Jayhawks pulled away for a postseason win.
The senior will be expected to do more of the same this season as a starter while newcomers join him in the starting rotation.
In 77.1 innings pitched last season, the right-hander surrendered 86 hits while sending 44 batters back to the dugout with strikeouts. The pitcher also gave up only one long-ball last season out of the 21 total home runs hit against the team last season.
Fans will be able to find out more Wednesday during the Jayhawks' Media Day, but
Look for the senior to add to his innings-pitched tally this season as he could pitch over 100 innings in 2015 if he follows the lead of Frank Duncan, who pitched 118 innings last season. Morovick will also look to cut down his earned runs
"SAYING THERE ARE SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL FOR THIS SEASON IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT, BUT MOROVICK IS UP FOR THE CHALLENGE, AS HE WILL RETURN AFTER PLAYING HIS BEST SEASON YET."
Dibaseball.com projects Morovick will be responsible for leading the weekend rotation along with transfer junior Ben Krauth and freshman Blake Weiman. This makes Morovick's experience on the mound very valuable early on in the season as the newcomers adjust to Division I baseball.
from last season, as he posted a 5.00 ERA.
With more responsibility this season, Morovick looks to improve on his already-impressive statistics from the mound.
Plenty of jayhawks will step up and have big performances on the diamond this season. However, because of Morovick's experience among fresh newcomers in the pitching rotation, he will be the most valuable player for the Jayhawks in 2015.

"ALL EYES POINT TO SENIOR OUT-FIELDER CONNOR MCKAY TO SPEAR-HEAD THE 2015 KANSAS LINEUP."
Kansas baseball lineup.
kansas baseball lineup.
In order for the Jayhawks to repeat last year's success, they will have to fill some of these glaring holes on the offensive end.
All eyes point to senior outfielder Connor McKay to spearhead the 2015 Kansas lineup.
McKay was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 24th round of the 2011 MLB Draft. He was named the No.1 prospect in the state of Colorado and No.76 nationally as a junior in high school. He was an offensive machine from the moment he stepped on campus. He became the first freshman to hit a grand slam in three years early in the 2012 season. This came a day after he hit the game-winning
has an insane amount of talent on the diamond and has been an offensive force his entire collegiate career. But coach Ritch Price said McKay still lacked maturity at times last year, which prevented him from being able to take that next step.
McKay appeared to mature his junior year and took that next step. In 2014, McKay finished with a batting average of .259 while posting career bests in runs (28), doubles (10), home runs (nine), and walks (19). He also had a career- and teamhigh 45 RBIs.
The 6-foot-3 outfielder out of Parker, Colo., also strung together two eight-game hitting streaks over the course of 59 games. He knocked in
five RBIs against Milwaukee on Feb. 22.
McKay's ability to drive in runs and be a consistent weapon on offense in the heart of the order was enough to name him All-Big 12 Second Team. He aided the Jayhawks in a 35-26 record and a postseason berth.
Perfectgame.org, a baseball blog, tabbed him as the preseason Big 12 All-Conference designated hitter and picked Kansas to finish sixth in the Big 12. He was the lone Jayhawk to earn any Perfect Game preseason honors.
Because of all that, McKay is getting national recognition heading into his final season at Kansas.
Kansas was picked to finish last in the 2014 preseason coaches' poll. The Jayhawks wound up surpassing those projections, finishing fifth. This year, the Big 12 coaches' poll has Kansas tied for seventh.
But the lajhawks will not have the benefit of a superb starting rotation to carry them this spring as they say goodbye to all three of their weekend starters.
In order for Kansas to surpass projections once again, it will have to rely heavily on a high-octane offense to keep up with the prominent Big 12 pitching staffs. Connor "All Day" McKay will have to be the anchor of that offense.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. How many times has Kelly Oubre Jr. failed to score in double figures at home during conference play?
A: Once versus Kansas State. He had eight points.
ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW
Jayhawks need more from Kelly Oubre Jr. on the road
Kelly Oubre Jr. struggled to crack the rotation early on this season, however, since he earned coach Bill Self's trust at Georgetown on Dec. 10, he has improved. The freshman guard is now averaging 10.9 points per game.
After taking a closer look at his season, one thing stands out: Oubre has been brilliant at home but average away from Allen Fieldhouse.
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
The Jayhawks have yet to lose at home this season. Obviously the Allen Fieldhouse crowd is a big reason, but Oubre's play is another major factor. In his eight home appearances, he has averaged 15.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
In seven road games and one neutral site game, Oubre has averaged 5.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game. However, to be fair to Oubre, one of those games was at TCU where he played just
10 minutes because he had flu-like symptoms. He had zero points, one rebound, one assist, and zero steals during that game.
There is clearly a big drop off in Oubre's points on the road, but his steals are a concern as well. He had one road game with four steals, which helped offset four road games with zero steals. It is absolutely vital that Oubre be active on defense for the Jayhawks, because he is by far
the most disruptive wing defender the team has. He has more steals (24) than Wayne Selden (15) and Brannen Greene (five) this year.
The Jayhawks are 4-3 on the road this season, and Oubre is just one of many reasons for that. At Temple, Selden and Perry Ellis went a combined 3-of-18 from the field, and the team shot just 30 percent from inside the three-point line. In Ames, the Jayhawks surrendered 21 fast break points to Iowa State. On Saturday, the Jayhawks shot 33 percent from two, and 52 percent from the free throw line.
Kansas has four road games left: Texas Tech, West Virginia, Kansas State and Oklahoma. In order for the Jayhawks to capture at least a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, they likely need to win three of those games. In order for the Jayhawks to do that, they will need Oubre to play with the same energy and
THE BREW
enthusiasm that makes the home crowd roar, because when he plays with energy, he can be the lajayhawks' second most important player behind Frank Mason.
"He's a big kid, a real big kid." Selden said last week. "He's the life of our team. He always has crazy energy and he's never sitting down. The kid is crazy. He's always screaming, yelling at times when it's not necessary."
Oubre has had his moments on the road, but he has the ability to make the game easier for everybody else. If the Jayhawks can get the same guy who electrifies Allen Fieldhouse, it will make life on the road a whole lot easier.
Rare Joe Jackson autograph photo may bring $100,000

Sharon Bowen thought her late husband was a bit crazy for buying a scrapbook filled with black and white photos of Cleveland ballplayers from the early 1900s — but not anymore. It turns out that book held what may be the only autographed photo of Shoeless Joe Jackson, the Holy Grail of baseball signatures.
Jackson, who was tossed out of baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series and remembered in the movie "Field of Dreams," was illiterate and rarely signed anything but paychecks and legal documents, making his autographs among the rarest in sports.
Chris Ivy, director of sports auctions at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, holds a 1911 autographed photo of Cleveland ballplayer Joe Jackson.

"Our job is to be the skeptic, especially if it is too good to be true."
JOE ORLANDO President of Professional Sports Authenticator
How many Jackson signatures are in existence isn't clear, but most experts agree that it's probably less than 100. But this is the first signed photo authenticated by autograph experts, according to Heritage Auctions, which is handling the sale of the century-old photograph this month.
It could fetch at least $100,000, according to the Dallas-based auction house.
"If I were a betting man, I'd
say the chances of another one surfacing would be highly unlikely," said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator, which validated the signature and photo.
Bowen's husband, Bill, first saw the scrapbook about 10 years ago.
It was stored in a barn near Cleveland and belonged to a couple whose family was friends with Frank W. Smith, a photographer with The Plain Dealer newspaper. He shot the photo of Jackson along with those of Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson and Napoleon Lajoie during spring training in 1911.
The family offered to sell the scrapbook five years ago to Bowen's husband because they knew how much he treasured the 60 photos. The price tag: $15,000.
"I told him 'absolutely not," Bowen said. "Luckily for me, I lost that argument."
Her husband kept the book in a trunk, looking at it almost every day and showing it off to friends. A collector all his life, he appreciated its history and connection to his hometown. Not knowing the book's skyhigh value, they never locked it up or worried about keeping it out of sight. "It wasn't an investment," she said.
Bill died at age 67 last April, and the family decided someone else should enjoy the photos.
The signed photos of Jackson and other members of the Cleveland Naps, the team that later became the Indians, will be sold in New York City on Feb. 21. The photo of Jackson

the only rookie to hit over .400 — had an online bid of $42,000 as of last week.
"The experts at Heritage Auctions were skeptical when the Bowen family contacted them." "We get calls and emails on a daily basis about stuff that turns out to be reproductions or they're not authentic," said Chris Ivy, the company's
director of sports auctions.
director of sports auctions. That changed quickly once they saw the images. They sent the photos to Professional Sports Authenticator whose sports memorabilia experts looked at them from all angles.
And they verified the autographs — not an easy task when it comes to Jackson's childlike signature. It's known that Jackson more or less signed his name by mimicking a pattern that his wife had made. She often signed his name, too.
"Our job is to be the skeptic, especially if it is too good to be true," said Orlando.
The experts at PSA looked at the pen pressure and the spacing of the Jackson signature while comparing it to other examples.
They first set out to determine that the photographs were originals and from the early 1900s, and they looked at the story behind the scrapbook and its origins.
"The stars aligned." Orlando said.
Mike Nola, official historian
for the Shoeless Joe Jackson Society and a board member of the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum in Greenville, South Carolina, said he can't remember seeing another signed photo of Jackson.
There are well over four dozen legitimate Jackson signatures that he knows of, including several bats and at least a dozen baseballs, he said. "That's still pretty rare especially by today's standards when guys are signing everything," Nola said.

KANSAS TIPOFF
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
AT A GLANCE
BASKETBALL GAMEDAY
KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH FEB. 10 8 P.M. LUBBOCK, TEXAS
T
Can Kansas bounce back?
No. 8 Kansas is coming off its fourth loss of the season and second in the Big 12, but hasn't lost two consecutive games this season, averaging a 16-point margin of victory after losses. Coach Bill Self is 64-8 following a loss, and he said the offense isn't producing — averaging 72 points per game, which ranks 71st in the country. The Jayhawks currently have a one-game lead on Iowa State in the Big 12 race.
Last season, Texas Tech gave Kansas a run for its money. It took Andrew Wiggins a last-second tip-in to take the lead and leave Lubbock with a win. This season, the Jayhawks can't look at Red Raiders and assume this is an easy victory after crushing Texas Tech by 32 on Jan. 10. The last time Kansas played back-to-back road games, the Jayhawks almost lost to TCU.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Some call Greene a three-point assassin, but in reality, he's a great shooter without defensive skills. Greene can provide instant offense off the bench, shooting 62 percent from three and grabbing over three rebounds per game. Despite this, the sophomore has had 11 turnovers to his eight assists during Big 12 play.

PROJECTED STARTERS
JOHN A. HOPKINS
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
The sophomore has relied on threes too much this season, and that's not Selden's game. Last season, Selden went to the free throw line 89 times, showing he can take the ball to the basketball and absorb contact. This season, Selden has taken almost twice as many three-pointers as free throws, showing he's settling for threes. Selden has shot threes well lately, making nine of his last 12 three-pointers.
★★★☆
Frank Mason, sophomore, guard
PETER WILLIAMS
The floor general for Kansas is also the prime scorer for the Jayhawks. Mason is a prime scorer because, as the point guard, he has a 6-5 double figure scoring streak. But his scoring has become more difficult the past three games. Against Kansas State and Iowa State, the sophomore was held scoreless until the second half, and against Oklahoma State, Mason was held to only four second half points.
★★★★
A. RAVENEK
TEXAS TECH (12-12, 2-9 Big 12)
Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard
The only freshman in starting lineup has struggled recently. Even though he scored 16 points against Iowa State two weeks ago, Oubre took 15 shots that game. Against Oklahoma State, Oubre couldn't stay on the court due to his lack of offensive
production, scoring just one point and grabbing only three rebounds. The freshman is known as the best NBA prospect on the team, but hasn't been the clear-cut best player on the team
★★★★☆
F. ROBERTS
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Self always says the offense will run through Ellis because of the high-low offense Self implements. The only problem with Ellis in the offense is the junior doesn't have a great post game. Ellis still leads the team in scoring at 13 points per game, but when it comes to scoring in traffic, Ellis often gets blocked. He leads the team in rebounding as well, and recorded his sixth double-double of the season against Oklahoma State.
★★★★☆
BENELLO MUNDI
Jamari Traylor, junior, forward
Known for his hustle on the court, Trayler rounds out the starting five. The junior plays the least amount of minutes among the starters, but he plays an important role. Self said Trayler's lack of energy in Stillwater was a reason Kansas gave up an 11-point second-half lead. Kansas needs the hustle from Trayler to spark

Robert Turner, senior, guard
Often the single upperclassman in the starting lineup, Turner's job is to bring a mature and calmming presence to a young and turbulent team.

Tuesday will be Turner's last shot at the Jayhawks after Andrew Wiggins and company stole one in Lubbock last season in the waning seconds.

MARK HENRY
Randy Onwuasor, sophomore, guard
Onwuasor chips in 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game for the Red Raiders. He's not a threat from deep, making just 26.2 percent of his attempted three-pointers. Against Kansas, Onwuasor scored just three points on 1-of-6 shooting

THE AFRICAN CONFERENCE ON WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY.
Devaugntah Williams, junior, guard
Averaging 10.5 points per game this season, Williams is an engine of a sputtering Red Raider offense. Sometimes he goes, sometimes he doesn't — depends on the day. In wins against Kansas State and Iowa State, he scored 22 apiece. But in losses to Oklahoma, West Virginia and Iowa State, he averaged a smidgen over three points. Williams shoots the league's 11th best three-point percentage at 35.3 percent,
★★☆☆
Zach Smith, freshman, forward
The freshman checks in at 6-foot-8 in the post. Smith ranks sixth in the Big 12 in blocked shots per game at 1.48, but the offensive game is still developing. He's averaged just 5.3 points in over 26 minutes. In Texas Tech's win over Kansas State, Smith scored nine points and added eight rebounds. Against Kansas, he scored eight points but was held to three
★★★☆☆
TOM WILLIAMS
Norense Odiase, freshman, center
The six-foot-nine freshman from Fort Worth, Texas, has seen his minutes increase throughout the season. Odiae averages 6.0 ppg and adds 4.3 rebounds, ranking seventh in the league in offensive rebounds at 2.26 per game. He scored four points in the last matchup with Kansas, but turned the ball over three

TEXASTECH TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Red Raiders have just two wins against conference opponents, but those coming against some of the league's front-runners — Iowa State and Kansas State — have been at home. Texas Tech shot nearly 46 percent from three against then No. 9 Iowa State, and nearly 54 percent from the field against Kansas State. The problem is that for the better part of the year, shots have not been falling for Texas Tech.
PLAYER TO WATCH
TAYLOR ROWLEY
Devaugntah Williams, junior, guard
Kansas can't allow Williams to get loose. He will shoot a high volume of shots until he is benched. He does have streaky tendencies: a 0-for-9 from three against Houston was followed up a few weeks later with a 3-of-4 against West Virginia.
QUESTION MARK
Can Kansas bury a team on the road?
there were encouraging signs against Texas, but over the course of the season, Kansas has had the worst time pulling away from teams outside of Allen Fieldhouse. Against TCU, Kansas snuck out unscathed, but Saturday against Oklahoma State it left an indelible mark in the loss column. Look for a killer instinct Tuesday, the Jayhawks will need to hone it before tournament time.

62.0
Texas Tech scores the fewest points per game in the Big 12 and ranks 297th in the nation in that category
10.67
Texas Tech averages the lowest assists per game in the Big 12 and ranks 301st in the nation in that category
5
Since losing three straight in Lubbock (2005, 2006, 2009), the Jayhawks have won the last five matchups in the United Spirit Arena (now known as the United Marketaerts Arena).
Prediction: Kansas 77, Texas Tech 65
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Texas Tech isn't a punching bag used for venting the weekend's frustrations. In the Bill Self era, Kansas has only lost in back-to-back games nine times — nine times in twelve years. That's fewer times than Self has won conference championships. Expect Kansas to get strong efforts out of its post players after getting dominated on the boards in the second half against the Oklahoma State.

COMMENTARY
Kansas needs to take more three-point shots
Matt Corte
@Corte_UDK
Before Saturday's loss to Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks
were in the midst of a five-game winning streak. And while the defeat may have been hard to watch for many, fans shouldn't worry about the overall success of the Jayhawks. The team's statistics compared to other Big 12 squads, especially in three-point shooting, indicate that there's nothing to fret about.
Kansas is second in the Big 12 in both scoring and field goal percentage, averaging 73.3 points per game in conference while shooting at 45 percent from the field. Only Iowa State is better in those categories. And as far as three-point percentage goes, the Jayhawks lead the conference by a wide margin, shooting an eye-popping 41 percent.
With such successful three-point shooting, it's worth wondering if Kansas is shooting enough threes. Every team in the conference has played at least ten games and the Jayhawks right now have taken just the seventh most three-point attempts, and still have made the most in the Big 12 with 73 successful three-point shots.
GAMEDAY
See how Kansas stacks up against Texas Tech for tonight's game | PAGE 11
At this point his number of attempts and makes aren't an anomaly, they're a trend. His three-point percentage staying above .600 is unlikely, but even if it hovers around .500, his 2.9 three point attempts per game in Big 12 play are clearly not enough.
At 8-2 in the Big 12 and holding a one game lead over Iowa State for first place, it's not as if the Jayhawks need to make major adjustments to be successful.
But if he asks Selden to shoot more behind the arc instead of mid range, and lets Greene launch anywhere from three, then that brief grin he unveils after a solid win should be there a lot more often.
Then there's Brannen Greene.
If this guy is within five feet of the arc and given some separation, he should shoot. That's because Greene is 18-for-29 (61 percent) during the conference season from three-point range, and currently leads the Big 12.
Edited by Miranda Davis
With that much success certain players on this Kansas team should be trying more three point attempts.
While Wayne Selden Jr. has struggled at times this season, as evident by his 39.6 percent shooting on two-point attempts in conference play. Behind the arc, though, Selden is 21-for-44 in Big 12 games, and his total percentage takes a meteoric rise to 47 percent. Then there's Brannen

@Ben_Felderstein
After a second half collapse and eventual 67-62 road loss at Oklahoma State, the Kansas Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock, Texas to take on Texas Tech. Kansas will enter the contest with a slim one-game lead in the Big 12 over Iowa State.
The Jayhawks come into play with a 19-4 record with an 8-2 conference record, compared to the Red Raider's 12-12 record, posting a 2-9 Big 12 mark. Texas Tech has also lost three of its past four games.
Kansas' second half collapse against the Cowboys was largely due in part to Oklahoma State's full court pressure. The Jayhawks were unable to set up easy offense and in turn score easy baskets.
Texas Tech is coming off of a 37-point loss to Iowa State in Armes where the team shot a combined 31 percent from the field. Williams struggled from the field, scoring only four points on 2-9 shooting from the floor.
Sophomore Frank Mason III is coming off of one of his worst games in a while, scoring ten points on 3-9 shooting from the field. Mason entered the half with nine points and 3-3 shooting from behind the three-point line. Mason will look to rebound and extend his double digit-scoring streak to 21 games.
Freshmen Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander have had minimal impact as of late, combining for only nine points at Oklahoma State. The two heralded freshman also combined for only 30 minutes.
Devaughnth Williams leads Texas Tech in scoring at 10.5 points per game adding 3.3 rebounds per game. Zach Smith leads the Red Raiders in both blocks (34) and rebounds per game (5.1).
The Red Raiders are last in the conference in scoring offense, averaging only 62 points per
game in the season. They do, however, sit one spot above Jayhawks in Big 12 scoring defense. Texas Tech will likely finish out the season amongst the bottom two in the Big 12.
Kansas has not dropped a game to the Red Raiders since the 2008-09 season where it suffered a 19-point loss in Lubbock Texas Tech is 12-3 on its home court this season while posting an 0-7 road record.
The Jayhawks will look to win big Tuesday night and build momentum for the rest of their Big 12 schedule. If Kansas wins, they will sweep its season series with Tech for the sixth straight season.

Half of the Jayhawks' wins in conference play have come on the road. Their wins on the road were at Texas Tech and Iowa State.
The Mountaineers have two players who average double-
24, where they came from 10 points down in the first half to win 65-59. In that game senior forward Chelsea Gardner had 20 points and 20 rebounds in the game.
Bonnie Henrickson said. "Whether you're on the road or at home this league is a challenge night in and night out."
Both teams lost their games this Saturday, with the Jayhawks losing to Oklahoma State, 65-57, and Iowa State defeating West Virginia in Ames, Iowa, 61-43.
Going into tonight's matchup, both teams are in the middle of a five-way tie for fifth place in the Big 12 Conference Standings with 4-7 conference records. Texas, Oklahoma State and Kansas State are the other teams in that tie.

Since playing Kansas, West Virginia has gone 2-2 with wins over Oklahoma and TCU both in Morgantown. West Virginia is 11-2 at home this year, with their losses at home coming to Baylor and Texas Tech.
Holmes scored 16 points, while Fields had 10 in the first meeting with Kansas.
Since playing West Virginia, Kansas has also gone 2-2 since the first meeting with wins over Texas Tech and Iowa State.
Gardner is in the middle of the two Mountainers ranked third in Big 12 scoring averaging 16.3 points per game.
"We just got to tweak up some things have more energy and go after loose balls, rebound and box out more," senior guard Asia Boyd said.
Kansas will look for their fifth conference win of the season and third conference win on the road. Tip off from Morgantown, W. Va., is at 6 p.m. tonight.

Local restaurant starts social ping pong club
Restaurant owner Nick Wysong started a ping pong club for locals.
TIM MCGINNIS
@tim_mcginnis
Nick Wysong's love for ping pong first began as an old sibling rivalry between him and his four brothers. As kids, they fiercely competed against each other, but today, Wysong has chosen to share his passion for ping pong in a more relaxed and inclusive atmosphere.
Wysong recently created the Lawrence Ping Pong Social Club, a free league that is open to the public. The league plays every Tuesday and Wednesday night at 8:30 p.m. in Ingrient, 947 Massachusetts St., the restaurant that Wysong owns.
"I love ping pong, I love crowds and I love playing ping pong with crowds," Wysong said.
Wysong said his inspiration to create the league comes from wanting to see others have fun playing the game he loves. He said the club is off to a successful start and he is excited to see where it goes.
Wysong started the league
on Jan. 27 and said there have been about 20 to 30 people who have shown up to play each night.
Jason Wofford, a Lawrence resident who has competed in the league, said he liked how people of all skill levels were able to play.
"I think that the ping pong league is a great idea," Wofford said. "I especially like that it is hosted in a local restaurant. That makes it even better."
Each competitor is able to play at least twice each night, but the league play is a double-elimination tournament. Wysong said although most of the people who attend are there to have fun, there is still a competitive atmosphere.
Wysong said the ping pong players have a great time competing, and his hope is that they will bring their friends the next time they come. He said the restaurant has advertised the league through its social media accounts and through posters,

Imagine you're on a rich friend's private jet heading to Ft. Lauderdale for Spring Break. In the air, you gaze out the window. A small object begins to come into focus on the horizon, progressively getting larger. You eventually make out what appears to be a miniature aircraft. Instead of maneuvering out of the way, it slams into the propeller of your jet. Your gut tightens and the blood drains from your face as the plane propeller ignites, sending your aircraft plummeting into a downward spiral.
Graduate student Lei Shi works on his anti-collision system for commercial drones. Shi is an electrical engineering student and an entrepreneur who started his own business to develop and market collision avoidance systems for commercial drones.
This is the nightmare scenario that Lei Shi, a University graduate student in electrical engineering, is working to prevent. Shi, 32, is one of the University's rising researchers on drone radars and on the cutting edge of creating an anti-collision system for commercial drones.
"Our fear is that someday a drone or a UAV is going to collide with a small general aviation aircraft and bring it down and it's going to cost lives and it's going to probably set back the UAV industry."
CHRIS ALLEN
Engineering professor
Shi's own interest in science and engineering started when he competed in Science
Olympiad in high school constructing balsa wood bridges and Rube Goldberg machines. He went on to earn a degree in electrical engineering from the University and then spent three years working on miniature prototype circuits at the Honeywell plant in Kansas City.
He's also a new entrepreneur and a mentor to high school students interested in engineering.

Circuits from the project that graduate student Lei Shi is working on for researching drone radars and preventing drone collisions. After becoming interested in drones, he started his own business for developing and marketing collision avoidance systems for commercial drones.
But Shi wanted more control over the products he was developing and decided to return to the University for graduate school. Now, four years later, he's even running his own business.
"It's so rewarding I got to do it," Shi said. "I have to do it."
In October, Shi became the sole owner and proprietor of UAVradars, a company he started to develop and market collision avoidance systems for commercial drones.
The idea was sparked in 2011 when Shi took a graduate level class that worked on using collision avoidance systems from the automobile industry in UAVs, an acronym for unmanned aerial
vehicle, or drone. Shi and his colleagues realized the commercial drone industry needs ways to prevent the drones from crashing into other aircraft to get off the ground.
"Our fear is that someday a drone or a UAV is going to collide with a small general aviation aircraft and bring it down and it's going to cost lives and it's going to
probably set back the UAV industry," said Chris Allen, a professor in the University's engineering department. "What we're trying to do is anticipate the need for that before something catastrophic happens."

Governor revokes discrimination order
"This Executive Order ensures that state employees enjoy the same civil rights as all Kansans
Brownback's office posted a media release in which Brownback explains his rationale.
Gov. Sam Brownback revoked an executive order from former governor Kathleen Sebelius that protected state employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. He announced his decision on Tuesday.
without creating additional 'protected classes' as the previous order did," Brownback said in the media release. "Any such expansion of 'protected classes' should be done by the legislature and not through unilateral (done by one person) action."
Additionally, he issued an executive order to encourage more employment opportunities for veterans and disabled individuals. That order, according to the release, also "reaffirms the commitment of the State of Kansas to employment practices which do not discriminate based on race.
"Many of these commissions, working groups and task forces have not met for several years or duplicate other ongoing efforts." Brownback said in the media release. "These changes streamline operations and reduce operational costs of maintaining these various committees."

Gov. Sam Brownback announced last Thursday he was reducing the allotments to Kansas K-12 education by 1.5 percent, and regents universities by two percent, totaling nearly $44.5 million. The cuts are set to begin March 7.
Kansas Senator Marci Francisco of Lawrence said when she heard the Governor's announcement, she was wary of what the cuts would mean for her district's schools. According to Francisco, the University will be cut $2.7 million, while the University of Kansas Medical Center will be cut $2.1 million and Lawrence public schools will be cut $598,962. These cuts take effect this fiscal year, which ends June 30. The cuts come after the state missed its January revenue expectations by nearly $47 million, according to The Wichita Eagle.

DAILY DEBATE 7
Francisco said the most recent cuts are in addition to separate cuts made last year and lack of increased funding. In addition to Brownback's cuts, a bill is working its way through the Senate that would essentially reverse Lawrence voters' decision in January to keep nearly $1.3 million in locally-generated school funding.
"These cuts are particularly difficult because they come at the middle of the school year when second semester is well underway," Francisco said. "So for both K-12 and the University, they've made commitments to courses and to staff. So, even though you say this is just a percentage, this is all happening just a few months into the calendar year."
Mason Owen, a sophomore from Overland Park, said he's noticed that when states cut funding for education, the educational institutions generally have to make up funds in ways that negatively impact students and employees.
"What bothers me, not just as a student, but as a member of a community, is that the costs seem like they're fronted to students and consumers," Owen said. "When a school loses government funding, it means they'll have to fire faculty, increase class sizes and there's a decrease in the quality of education services."

year to be held during the week preceding Valentine's Day. In the past, the event was held in the fall, but NSCO decided to switch it up this year in the spirit of the holiday of love, given the event's speakers will talk about reproduction in the natural world.
The event is free and open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to come at any time during the evening.
The event is co-sponsored by Spectrum (the University's student group for those within the LGBTQ+ community), SURGE (Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity) and the Peer Health
Educators.
The event will be both informational and hands-on. Attendees of the event will learn about human sexuality, instances of homosexuality in the natural world and more.
There will be activities such as "condom games," a Twitterbased "sexy scavenger hunt" and date-night prizes, and there will be opportunities to create an "origami penis," said Kitty Steffens, events coordinator at the University's Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum. If that's not reason enough to attend the event, she said, there will also be
aphrodiasiacs: strawberries and chocolate.
Representatives from the entymology, herpetology and ornithology divisions of the museum will be providing specimens in jars of animals with unusual reproductive systems, such as reptiles with hemipenes.

"It's going to be fun, it's going to be informative, you're going to get interesting information that will make you a far funnier storyteller at parties, and what is another opportunity where you're going to get to see lizard penises in a jar?" Steffens said.
Student Senate to review finances next week
Edited by Garrett Long
ALANA FLINN
@Alana_Flinn
Next week, Student Senate will begin their financial review of the year. According to Senate treasurer Madeline Sniezek, approximately $20 to $24 million will be reviewed through three different processes.
The first process is line item, which will begin Feb. 20. This process is for student organizations that have received funding from Student Senate in the past fiscal year. According to finance committee chair Jessie Pringle these organizations will request specific funding for specific events.
Student groups can request funding for specific events if they have an academic purpose, and are open to all students at any time.
Sniezek, a junior from
Prairie Village, oversees a lot of this process along with Pringle. However, Sniezek is worried that many student organizations haven't been going to Student Senate for financial assistance.
"I'm concerned that student groups have been scared to ask us for money, because I think sometimes our committee can be intense because we're passionate about what we can do and giving students money," Sniezek said. "There are strict rules mandated by the university to give money, which scares groups away because they have so many restrictions, so I worry sometimes groups think the committee is going to be so intense that they don't apply"
Fee review is the second process, which will begin Feb. 26 and occurs in conjunction with the provost office. Simulations of different
scenarios project what the provost office expects their upcoming budget to be, which helps Senate deliberate and vote on financial changes, according to Pringle. These changes could encompass things like fees for Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, Legal Services for Students or KJHK. Ultimately, if fee review passes in senate, it will make its way to the chancellor to be voted on.
The third process involves block allocations, which will begin March 5. According to Pringle, these are for specific departments or organizations that don't get sufficient funds from the University, but need a specific lump sum amount for general funding. The only stipulation is the organization or department must have a paid KU faculty member advisor.

incredible energy and enthusiasm that makes him fit to lead the company.
When Shi is not in the lab or giving a business pitch, he hits the gym or works on art projects. In the summers, he gets the opportunity to give back what he's learned by teaching at the University's annual week-long summer engineering camp for high school students.
"We actually, in that one week period, cover at a very high level all of the basics of electrical engineering" he said. "We squeeze all of it into one week. It's a lot of work, but at the end all the students feel a sense of accomplishment, and so that's
really nice."
Shi said the next step for him and the company is to enter the beta testing phase to improve the design to get it as close to perfect as possible. He said he already has a provisional patent on the design and recently applied for grants through NASA and the Navy that, if approved, will total nearly $1.75 million. His goal is to build the company and sell it to a larger company such as Boeing or Amazon.
"That's sort of the ultimate goal for UAV Radars," Shi said. "And then after that, who knows? Maybe I'll start another one."

[tax] the same as it had been last year, and voters overwhelmingly said they wanted to keep that funding available," Francisco said. "Now they're saying you can keep that funding, but we can change how it's calculated."
The cuts and this proposed bill are meant to help eliminate the projected deficit of $344 million at the end of the fiscal year, according to NPR. Additionally, on Feb. 10, Brownback signed a bill into law that reduces $18.4 million from the State General Fund and $7.9 million
for a reduction in the Kansas Public Employee Retirement System (KPERS), among other reductions.
Owen said while he's concerned with what will happen at the University level, it's important to keep in mind that Lawrence residents and people who hold jobs in the area will also be affected.
"It's important when thinking about the cuts to education, that we're looking at a deficit in Kansas that many have traced back to Brownback's tax cuts," Owen said. "All of that has resulted in a substantial lack of revenue that he's decided to make
up for by cutting things like education and Department of Transportation spending. We should keep in mind why we have such a daunting deficit in the first place and the various other facets in the Lawrence and Kansas community that are affected besides just the University. A lot of people are having to suffer."
Francisco said the cuts announced in the proposed Senate bill have been seen as a cut to the increase, but not a major cut in regular funding. She disagrees.
"We heard in testimony with regards to Senate Bill 71 and those cuts, for me, mean

that we couldn't fund the summer school programs," Francisco said. "Lawrence clearly lost the money that had been available the year before. For our schools, I think it could only be seen as a loss, and a significant loss." Fearing what could happen to the University budget, Owen said he is most worried about tuition spikes and a decrease in his quality of education.

Comedy Central: Stewart leaving 'The Daily Show'
LYNN ELBER
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Jon Stewart, who turned his biting and free-wheeling humor into an unlikely source of news and analysis for viewers of "The Daily Show," will leave as host this year, Comedy Central said Tuesday.
His departure was announced by Comedy Central President Michele Ganeless after Stewart, host of the show since 1999, broke the news to the audience at Tuesday's taping in New York.
"Through his unique voice and vision, 'The Daily Show' has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come," Ganeless said in a statement.

She called Stewart, 52, a "comic genius." He will remain as host until later this year, she said, but did not specify his exit date or what led to his decision.

His influence is seen in the work of Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Larry Wilmore, who went on to earn shows of their own. Other "Daily Show" alumni include Steve Carell, Ed
Reaction was swift from Stewart's admirers and, in some cases, likely past targets.
"Just had the honor of being the great Jon Stewart's guest (on 'The Daily Show'), where he announced he's leaving. Emotional night," David Axelrod, former adviser to President Barack Obama, posted on Twitter.

for 118 days in Tehran and accused of being a spy. The Comedy Central statement did not indicate what his plans were after leaving.
Stewart's departure represents a second big blow for Comedy Central: Another star, Stephen Colbert, left "The Colbert Report" last year to take over from CBS late-night host David Letterman when he retires in May.
Larry Wilmore and the new "The Nightly Show" replaced "The Colbert Report."
The Stewart and Colbert shows created templates for a comedic form that offered laughs along with trenchant political and social satire. Authors and politicians were as common as Hollywood celebrities on the self-described "fake news" programs.
Stewart took a several months-long hiatus in 2013 to direct "Rosewater," a well-reviewed film about an Iranian-born journalist who was imprisoned
Last November, in an interview with The Associated Press for "Rosewater," Stewart was asked about his future with the Comedy Central show. He replied that the format he works in doesn't matter.
"It's a journey. It's a conversation," he said. "One thing I won't do is write music or sing."
Mindy Kaling blamed the lure of filmdom.
"I knew when Jon Stewart left to direct that movie he was gonna try something like this," Kaling posted on Twitter.
When he returned from his filmmaking break, Stewart played a tape of President Barack Obama urging military action against Syria because of last month's poison gas attack.
"America taking military action against a Middle East regime," Stewart said. "It's like I never left."
In 2010, Stewart and Colbert drew a crowd to the Washington Mall for their Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. They tackled familiar topics — the partisan gridlock in the nation's capital
Stewart was credited with effectively killing one cable program — CNN's "Crossfire" — when his withering criticism of its partisan squabbling hit a nerve and CNN soon canceled it.

Missouri inmate set to die for killing neighbor in 1990
LJIM SALTER
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — A Missouri inmate who killed his neighbor 25 years ago was to be executed early Wednesday after the U.S. Supreme Court and the state's governor denied appeals to spare his life.
Walter Timothy Storey was scheduled to die at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for killing a woman inside her apartment in the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles. After a Missouri-record 10 executions in 2014, it would be
the state's first this year.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon turned down Storey's bid for clemency around 8 p.m. Tuesday, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court also denied his appeal arguing that the lethal drug could cause a painful death. Four justices — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan — would have granted the stay.
Missouri obtains its execution drug, pentobarbital, from an unnamed compounding pharmacy, and prison officials
refuse to disclose details about how or if it is tested. Storey's attorney argues that the secrecy makes it impossible to know if the barbiturate will quickly work or cause an unconstitutionally painful death.
"After all, compounding is not necessarily a matter of changing a drug's flavor, but rather it is a matter of combining different ingredients in new, untested ways," Storey's attorney, Jennifer Herndon, wrote.
pentobarbital" could severely disable the prisoner without killing him, potentially leaving him alive but permanently brain-damaged.
She cited an anesthesiologist who said that that "sub-potent
In a response, the Missouri attorney general's office noted that virtually every recent inmate facing execution has raised the same issue.
"A dozen Missouri executions using pentobarbital have been rapid and painless," the response read.
Herndon also expressed concerns about Missouri's use of the sedative midazolam prior
to executions. The state has said the drug is administered to help calm the nerves of inmates, and only to those who want it.
Herndon wrote that midazolam was used in three botched executions in other states in 2014.
Storey, 47, was sentenced to death three separate times in the same case.
He was living with his mother in a St. Charles apartment on Feb. 2, 1990, when he became upset over his pending divorce. He spent an angry night
drinking beer.
He ran out of beer and money, so he decided to break into the neighboring apartment of Jill Frey to steal money for more beer.
Frey, a 36-year-old special education teacher, had left the sliding glass door of her balcony open. Storey climbed the balcony and confronted Frey in her bedroom, where he beat her. Frey suffered six broken ribs and severe wounds to her head and face.
Storey was convicted and sentenced to death.
It's time for the perfect job.

Modeling industry still sends wrong message
Matthew Clough
@mcloughsofly
Imagine a world where nearly all women are slender, tall and illustrated perfectly by means of countless alterations, such as make-up. Although totally unreasonable, the American fashion modeling industry primarily portrays women with these characteristics. The modeling industry has long been the target of criticism for its narrow and exclusionary representation of what people actually look like.
The modeling industry is similarly unfair to male models. They might not be expected to maintain thin frames like women, but they are still subjected to rigid standards of appearance. Male models are typically expected to be extremely muscular and trim. Modeling for both sexes represents inherent flaws in the business as a whole.
According to studies released by the Girl Scouts of the USA and other similar organizations, the modeling industry promotes an unhealthy body image to the public, specifically to young girls. From a young age, girls are exposed to advertisements and images of thin, Photoshopped women, while being conditioned to believe such figures are ideal standards of beauty. According to the Girl Scouts of the
USAs "Beauty Redefined survey, nine out of 10 girls say that the fashion industry and media representations of women pressure girls to be thin. Furthermore, 65 percent of girls think the industry's portrayal of women is too skinny, while 31 percent admit to starving themselves to lose weight.
Clearly the modeling industry is in an unhealthy state. The messages it sends to viewers are problematic and unrepresentative of the natural American woman's body. Former editor of Vogue Australia magazine Kirstie Clements revealed that many models view starving themselves as an acceptable practice . even to the point of anorexia in some cases. The editor was fired following her tell-all book, "The Vogue Factor." Yet, American media continues to market these individuals as the epitome of
65
a major modeling contract. She's also been active on Instagram, promoting the hashtag #EffYourBeautyStandards to encourage women to embrace their bodies and redefine our standards of beauty.
PERCENT OF GIRLS THINK THE INDUSTRY'S PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN IS TOO SKINNY
beauty.
Earlier this year, Tess Munster, also known as Tess Holliday, made headlines when she was signed by MILK Model Management. Holliday is 5'5" and wears a size 22, which makes her the first model of her size to sign
Even though MILK Model Management is taking a step in the right direction, the agency's attempt to showcase women of different sizes doesn't solve the issues within the industry. Holliday's weight — of about 260 pounds — can hardly be said to promote healthy images for young women. Fashion modeling has long been heralded as a realm of extremes, whether it be in terms of weight, outfit styles or diet. Just as showcasing individuals who are too thin sends negative messages, so does promoting images of those who are in the zone of obesity.
When considering that young women are so impressionable and influenced by the media, it's essential to reevaluate current modeling standards of ideal weight. It seems necessary to reinvent the concept of the plus-sized model. A report by ABC suggests that plus-sized models in many firms range between the sizes of six and 14, which is simply absurd. These sizes are about standard and worn by healthy, fit individuals. It's disturbing that the modeling industry would label such sizes as "plus size" when compared to their ideal. Hiring more models within this range and even a bit beyond would be more accurate in representing American individuals, and would likely aid in solving many self-esteem issues among young women.
THE
ANTHONY EVANS/MILK MODEL MANAGEMENT Despite her success, plus-size model Tess Holliday still can't believe how far she's come. Holiday uses social media to promote beauty standards.
Holliday's initiative is powerful and necessary in an age where beauty standards have become so skewed, detrimental to both physical and mental aspects of viewers. Redefining beauty is a meaningful step forward in tackling the issues of the modeling industry. However, showcasing individuals of heavy weight is not the most effective solution in counter-
balancing models of extremely petite body composition. Reforming the modeling industry is a long process and will take effort. In order to remedy the industry, a reasonable middle ground must be established.

PRO CON
ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE DRILLING
Wilderness deserves congressional support
Jenny Stern
@jenlikeswhales
President Obama announced his plans to ask Congress to designate the Coastal Plain and core areas of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as wilderness. While it is likely that Congress will give him the cold shoulder, there are serious economic, environmental and emotional reasons that preserving this land is a good idea.
Organisms and ecosystems are more successful in the absence of human interferences, direct or indirect. There are many examples where human interference and action decimated a population: The bluefin tuna versus fishermen, rhinos versus poachers and pandas versus habitat loss. Many animals, including a herd of 130,000 caribou, use this reserve as a summer habitat. Although human effects such as climate change will not be curbed by this reserve (with the exception of a reduced accessibility to fossil fuels), this action protects against direct interference.
Potential drilling space would be lost with the wilderness classification, but the economy would not be dramatically affected. The Department of Energy reports that this reserve would reach its full potential by 2026, a deadline when drastic advances in alternative fuel choices should exist. The refuge will have the longevity of tourism income and protect native subsistence hunting. The tourism income directly affects local villages with unconventional economies.
The ANWR has economic and environmental value, but it overflows
with a unique, natural beauty. This conservation plan would expand on the intentions of the Wilderness Act, which set aside the area as a refuge. William deBuys writes in his tribute to the Wilderness Act's 50th birthday in 2014, "The greatest thing about that great law, only one of three in 1964, is that it still invites us, even at times forces us (most of us being city dwellers), to fall in love
"ECOSYSTEM DAMAGE IS IRREVERSIBLE, AND A HABITAT PLAGUED WITH DRILLING SITES WILL NEVER COMPARE TO THE WIDE, OPEN COASTAL PLAINS."
Ecosystem damage is irreversible, and a habitat plagued with drilling sites will never compare to the wide, open coastal plains. Listing the ANWR as wilderness would protect the area from rash, greed-driven decisions. It is time for Congress to move past partisan lines and fall in love with our beautiful blue planet.
with our beautiful blue planet Earth, the most singular and wonder-filled thing in all the universe." In President Obama's words, declaring the ANWR as wilderness is the next step in "[making] sure that this amazing wonder is preserved for future generations."

Arctic refuge could spur future economic growth
Cecilia Cho
@ceciliacho92
There has been much controversy surrounding the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and whether the area along the Alaskan coast should be protected from drilling oil. President Obama recently called upon Congress to "add nearly 12.3 million acres of refuge land to the National Wilderness Preservation System." While a respectable cause, ignoring a large portion of oil can cause us to lose out on potential benefits for our economy.
Drilling into the ANWR is a great economic incentive and gives us the opportunity to keep our position as the world's number one oil producer
"PERHAPS DRILLING INTO THE ANWR TODAY WOULD NOT BENEFIT AS MUCH AS PREDICTED, BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN DRILLING INTO THE ANWR SHOULD BE KEPT OFF THE TABLE. NOTHING IS FOR CERTAIN."
Expanding drilling for oil also opens several job opportunities with the potential of 250,000-750,000 new
jobs created from oil extraction in ANWR, according to CNS News. Utilizing the ANWR for oil extraction has positive effects on not just Alaska, but our nation as well. Law Street Media reports, "Through land leasing, bids, and taxation the oil in Alaska's wilderness is estimated to add billions of dollars in revenue to state and federal treasuries."
Today's drilling technology is advanced, and the impact on the environment from oil extraction is low: "Only eight percent of the wildlife refuge would be used for exploration and drilling," according to Law Street Media. Furthermore, the majority of Alaskan residents are in favor of oil drilling because economic benefits outweigh the environmental impact. The resources accrued from the ANWR can make a significant impact on our national debt, generating approximately $150 billion to $296 billion "in new federal revenue," according to a Committee on Natural Resources report.
Perhaps drilling into the ANWR today would not benefit as much as predicted, but this does not mean drilling into the ANWR should be kept off the table. Nothing is for certain. We cannot limit our future options by preserving an area that provides so much potential for the U.S. Nothing is secure, and there may come a time when oil extraction in the ANWR is needed for the economy to survive.

HOROSCOPES
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
You might give someone an ultimatum as Saturn reminds you that you deserve to be treated like a queen. If your partner has been neglectful, you'll be sure to complain about it. Just don't be ungrateful if your honey really is doing his or her best.
(March 21-April 19)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The moon in your sign will make it easier to figure out what's going on. If you've been puzzled about someone you've been involved with, you'll soon sort things out. If you have been on again, off again, with a partner, you'll find greater stability in the situation.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Use care with your words so you don't hurt anybody's feelings. The sun is showing you that sometimes, you can be too casual and sassy with your language. Somebody around you could be going through a tough time, so be kind.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Your powers of attraction are strong now. If you're single, get out there and start circulating. Don't remain cooped up alone at home. The moon says don't miss out on romantic opportunities that are much closer than you think.
(July 23-Aug.22)
With Mercury still opposite your sign, it's important to read between the lines. If your honey is depressed, she could be trying to tell you something. If your boyfriend is acting distant, maybe something serious is going on with him.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You could be annoyed by all the little stuff this week, but try to relax. The sun is exaggerating your frustration. Focus on the big picture. Give thanks for the many blessings in your life, which could include health, a decent job, and a good relationship.
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
With Venus opposite your sign, you're questioning your current romantic situation. If you're in a relationship, you're wondering if it has real staying power. If you're single, you're trying to figure out the best way to meet someone special. Keep exploring.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 2)
Student's blog helps kickstart career
The moon is enhancing your psychic ability. Pay attention to your dreams, especially if you have vivid ones. Listen to your gut if you get a strong impression about a person, place or thing. Water signs like you can be incredibly intuitive.
Sagittarius
'(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You'll want to take the initiative this week as Venus inspires you to make a move. Maybe you'll invite your sweetheart to move in with you. Perhaps you and your spouse will finally get around to discussing having kids. Embrace a bigger future.

Junior Tavlor Kalush, from Olathe, now has an internship with the fashion brand Lions in Four after running a fashion blog last year as a class project.
University junior Taylor Kalush, a strategic communications major from Olathe, began a fashion blog last year as a class project. That original project has led to an internship with the Kansas City-based startup fashion brand Lions in Four, and a position with Kansas alumnus Justin Wesley and his unisex clothing line, JUSTINKC. This Monday night she met with Lions in Four via Skype to discuss the posting of its blog launch. Kalush has also worked at Nordstrom as a sales associate for two years and is now a stylist for the store. She defines her own personal style as clean and simple and said she loves anything oversized. Kalush plans to graduate a semester early and apply to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
favior Kalush ran a fashion blog for class last year and now works with Kansas alumnus Justin Wesley's clothing line.
Kansan: How long have you been blogging?
Kalush: I started my blog last January because it was part of my independent study for journalism with one of my professors. Basically I was studying how fashion, business and journalism all go together and so I had to make a proposal and my blog was my tangible presentation of what I learned from my research. I tried not to just make it a fashion blog because you probably see those all the time. I just think it's boring. So I researched fashion trends and forecasts and ad campaigns and made a mixture of all of it because I feel like it is more interesting to learn about the business of fashion rather than just look at a fashion blog of pictures.
Kansan: Did you always know you wanted to do fashion blogging?
Kalush: No. I literally feel like I would not have done a blog at all, unless it was for the project. I continue to blog, but it is more time consuming, so that's when my Instagram really helps. Now that I'm a stylist at Nordstrom I post outfits and stuff it brings business in. So the Instagram is kind of like a dual purpose, for my personal blog at least.

that forecasts all the fashion trends for the next three years for men and women's fashion and it's interesting to see how they come up with that. It will say Spring or Summer 2016 or 2017 and it'll have a whole list of what trends that are going to be happening in two years.
Kansan: How do you come up with ideas and inspiration for your blog?
Kalush: I literally buy every single fashion magazine from every single European country, plus the U.S. So I'm subscribed to Vogue, Women's Wear Daily, Harper's Bazaar, magazines like those. Then I go to Barnes & Noble and I buy the Spanish and Australian and the U.K. ones and I just get them all because they're all different and it projects how each country or region sees fashion now in their own way. I research a lot. I get on databases that I have for fashion forecasting. So
Kansan: When did you start working with Lions in Four? Kulshu: When I first started my blog, my senior photographer was a family friend and I wanted to shoot a trend piece for my blog and she said "Oh, well, we actually just started this new brand and I'm the co-founder of it." So I basically signed up to be their intern right at the beginning, last January, and I originally just helped style shoots, and helped with marketing and social media. Then during the summer that's pretty much when I really feel like I started becoming an intern because that's when I started to design with Julie Martin, who is the head designer. I designed Lions in Four's new logo. I don't really feel like anywhere else I would be able to be like "Hey, we should change our current logo," but they actually listened and their consultant ended up liking the new one better.
to make a product that is supporting these women in India.
Kansan: Where is Lions in Four based?
Kalush: We are in Kansas City, but our public relations people are in New York, and our bags are sourced from Italy and South America, it's kind of crazy. Julie Martin is the head founder of Lions in Four, but originally she started a nonprofit in India, called We Care of India. So all of the silk inside of the bags [sold by Lions in Four] is made in India by women that are employed and who would basically be on the streets if they didn't have a job. Lions in Four is the way
Kansan: What are you most
Kansan: Tell me about your work with Justin Wesley and his brand.
Kalush: I am the co-creative director, PR Coordinator, Market Research Specialist and trend forecaster for Justin. I help with development of the overall brand and its identity. I assist with some of the design work, and add a different perspective on his ideas. I also developed the idea to create the brand as a unisex line. Justin has really included me in a lot of the whole startup process.
excited about for the future?
Kansan: Why are internships so important, and how have your experiences helped you so far?
excited about for the future.
Kalush: I'm just excited to bring what I have learned and figure out what it is I want to do, even though I don't know what that is. I have no idea what I'm going to end up doing, and everybody thinks I'm going to end up in New York, but I really have no idea.
Kalush: Working for startup companies like JUSTINKC and Lions in Four, you see a company make mistakes from the beginning, there's so many obstacles that you never guess would hit you. So I feel like now that I'm watching
two different companies go through it, it just gives me a lot of knowledge about how to do things in the future. I don't know if I want to have my own company, but if I do one day I feel like I will know what and what not to do. And I think that working with startups is also really beneficial because you get to contribute a lot more because it's such a smaller organization, compared to a big one where you're voice isn't really heard. So you actually get to make your mark on things.
Internships are important. They just create a lot of opportunities, because you never know who you'll meet.

Jacob Anderson, a Lawrence resident, said he was surprised when he saw the ping pong tables set up inside the restaurant. He said he walked in to see what was going on and ended up playing a few games with his friends.
but most people who play originally came to Ingredient to eat dinner.
Anderson said he would come back again to play, and he hopes that it continues to grow.
"I haven't seen anything quite like this before in Lawrence," Anderson said. "It is a unique idea, and I think that the people of this community will enjoy having something like this to call their own."

Rapper Kendrick Lamar makes racial statement with 'The Blacker the Berry'
KENDRICK LAMAR/TOP DAWG ENTERTAINMENT
Lily Grant
@lilygrant_UDK
Rapper Kendrick Lamar answered his win of two
The track has a dramatically different sound compared to the first single he dropped, "i." An upbeat, uplifting song about self-love, "i" won Lamar two Grammys on Sunday night for "Best Rap Performance" and "Best Rap Song."
"The Blacker The Berry" takes on a much more serious tone, addressing social issues currently being faced by African Americans. It could be a coincidence that he chose to drop this single during Black History Month, but it seems fitting considering Lamar goes all the way back to his roots in the first verse of "The Blacker The Berry," where he raps "I'm African American," then restates the line as "I'm African, I'm black as the moon, heritage of a small village." He also mocks modern stereotypes placed on African Americans in the very same verse. In the final verse of the song, Kendrick lists more African American stereotypes, and indicates that African American history isn't something that should be celebrated for only one month in an entire year.
This win of two Grammys with the release of a new track the very next day that instantaneously had the Internet talking. Kendrick released "The Blacker The Berry" on Monday afternoon, a track to be featured on his upcoming third studio album, produced by OVO's Boi-1da and Terrace Martin. The song immediately received positive feedback from commenters on YouTube and started trending on Twitter.
Lamar begins each verse with "I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015." Throughout the song, he speaks on violence and hypocrisy, and expresses the anger and hatred felt by African Americans toward
the white-dominated country we live in. He ends the song with the lyrics "So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street? When gang b***ing make me kill a n*** blacker than me? Hypocrite"
Lamar is calling out his own race for responding to racial issues in a violent manner, and for blaming white people for the death of African Americans without acknowledging that many African Americans die at the hands of their own race every day. Lamar is calling for peace.
Lamar has mentioned Martin Luther King Jr. in his music before, beginning in his first studio album, Section.80. It's obvious that he strives to carry on MLK's philosophy of nonviolent activism in his latest release as well. Lamar places blame not only on white people, but also on the black community, much like MLK did.
In an interview with Billboard regarding Ferguson, Lamar said, "When we don't have respect
for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting — it starts from within."
His response received harsh feedback from fellow rappers like Kid Cudi and Azealia Banks, who tweeted, "dumbest s*** I've ever heard a black man say." In the first lines of "The Blacker The Berry," he stands by his viewpoint on how he thinks the current situation in Ferguson should have been handled. It's possible that this song could be received the same way his comment in the interview was, but ultimately, Lamar's intent is to promote peace and to stand up for his race, and so far the song has received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
In the song's chorus, Lamar raps, "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice," which samples Tupac's song "Keep Ya Head Up." The phrase "the blacker the berry" was derived from the novel The Blacker the Berry by Wallace
Thurman, which is about a young woman facing racial discrimination during the Harlem Renaissance. This lyric has been interpreted multiple ways by listeners online, but since Lamar aims to address racial tension that has been especially prominent within the last year, he is likely referring to the current state of chaos that continues to dominate the media and minds of many.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who has the best All-Star team?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
"WEST"
We all know the NBA All-Star teams don't
Star teams don't necessarily comprise the Conferences' best players; they're more about who the fans love and want to see. So the winner, then, isn't necessarily the conference that has the best team. But the All-Star Game isn't really about the game, anyway. It's about the event, and, most importantly, it's about the discussion of who would have the better team if the league's best actually took the floor.
Since that's the case, who can argue against the Western Conference?
The West's starting five alone contains the best rim protector in the Association, a 7-foot powerhouse, two all-around scorers and possibly the best pure shooter in the history of the game. On the bench is the other Splash Brother, one of the league's best pure scorers, and the most athletic point guard in NBA history.
This is a team that can throw out a variety of lineups. They
At the end of the day, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson combine to make the most dynamic shooting duo in the NBA, Russell Westbrook is the league's best athlete, and Anthony Davis and Marc Gasol are two of its best rim protectors.
can isolate and score in a half-court offense. They can put out a speedy flex frontcourt accompanied by the fastest backcourt in the league and run in transition. Or, if those lineups don't work, they can roll out two powerful forwards who can plug the lane while
"THIS IS A TEAM THAT CAN THROW OUT A VARIETY OF LINEUPS."
the guards slash inside.
I didn't even mention the fact that they could put the Splash Brothers on the court with James Harden, or reunite the Thunder trio that took Oklahoma City to the Finals in 2012. And it's not just offense — three of the NBA's top 15 post defenders are suing up for the West, including blocks per game leader Anthony Davis. This is a team that's versatile and talented, while also speedy and powerful.
While the East does have potentially the best player ever in LeBron James, they can't hope to bring as much versatility to the table as the West can.
Whether the Eastern Conference team tries to play a power game, run in transition or hoist threes, the Western Conference can adapt and outplay them in every facet of the game. This is especially true now that Damian Lillard made his way onto the team, where he should have been in the first place.
Regardless of how unrealistic the actual All-Star teams end up being each year, if it were truly the best of the West against the best of East, it wouldn't even be a contest.

"EAST"
This Valentine's Day, the NBA will have its 86th All Star Game in New York City at Madison Square Garden. While the Western Conference might have more veteran participants, the Eastern Conference is younger and has more promise for the future.
The Eastern Conference has often been called weak. It has been true in previous years, since the lower half of the playoff seedings have typically had sub-.500 records, but it's
basketball right now, the 43-10 Atlanta Hawks. Yes, the Golden State Warriors have the best record in the NBA right now at 41-9, and yes, they're in the Western Conference, but these two teams met just last week, and Atlanta won a high-scoring 124-116 battle. East All-Star guard Teague scored 23 points in the win.
In addition to Teague, the Hawks have two more All-Stars, forwards Al Horford and Paul Millsap. The Eastern Conference got the win last year, 163-155. They've got momentum going into this year's game and the game is being played in an Eastern Conference arena.
"THE EAST ALSO HAS HEALTH ON THEIR SIDE. NOBODY ON THEIR TEAM HAS ANY SIGNIFICANT INJURIES."
not the case this year. Seven of the eight teams having winning records, the only exception being the eighth-seed Miami Heat.
Not to mention the Eastern Conference has LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the best player in the modern era and leader of the fan vote.
Let's also not forget that the East has the hottest team in
The East also has health on
their side. Nobody on their team has any significant injuries. The West has already had to replace two of their All-Stars due to Kobe Bryant and Blake Griffin's injuries. The West might have the "Splash Bros" in Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, but the East has several dangerous pairs of players from the same team. Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol have averaged a combined 39 points per game for the Bulls, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh score 42 per game for the Heat, and the Cavs combo of LeBron and Kyrie Irving combine for 47 per game.
contain for 19 picks game.
Some of the East's best teams have also gone on long winning streaks this season. The Hawks won 17 straight games before losing and the Cavs won 12 before losing. The longest streak in the West this season was by the Warriors, who won 19 straight games, but lost at home to the Eastern Conference's Chicago Bulls.
So this weekend, while watching the All-Star festivities, know that the East is the better conference.

Kentucky forward Willie Cauley-Stein, right, slam dunks as he is fouled by LSU forward Jordan Mickey in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Baton Rouge, La., Tuesday night.
No.1 Kentucky survives again, beating LSU 71-69
BRETT MARTEL Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — Willie Cauley-Stein scored 15 points and top-ranked Kentucky skied unbeaten with another tough road win, 71-69 over LSU when the Tigers missed a 3-pointer that could have won it at the buzzer Tuesday night.
Devin Booker added 14 and Aaron Harrison had 13 for the Wildcats (24-0, 11-0 SEC) who can tie a school record for the best start to a season by winning at home on Saturday against South Carolina.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 12 points and 13 rebounds, including a jump-hook that put the Wildcats up for good with 1:30 left, and a clutch offensive rebound inside the final minute.
Trailing by two with roughly six seconds left, LSU got the ball to Keith Hornsby on the wing, who missed an off-balanced 3-pointer that bounced
harmlessly off the rim as time expired.
jarell Martin had 21 points and 11 rebounds for LSU (17-7,6-5), while Hornsby scored 17 points.
Early in the second half, LSU appeared to be struggling with Kentucky's height, with Cauley-Stein dunking twice within a few possessions as the Wildcats built a 10-point lead. Harrison then drained a 3 to give the Wildcats their largest lead at 58-45 with 12:46 to go.
It started with a 3 by Josh Gray. Hornsby scored eight points during the surge, including a 3 and a fast-break layup off of Cauley-Stein's turnover that capped the run and put LSU up 66-60.
LSU called timeout, and responded well, surging into the lead with a stunning 21-2 run during the next five-plus minutes that sent a sellout crowd into an ear-ringing frenzy.
The Wildcats briefly appeared to be losing their composure during the LSU surge.
Towns was called for a technical foul for hanging on the rim after a missed dunk, after which coach John Calipari pulled the 6-foot-11 forward from the game and gave him a scolding on the bench.
But it was Towns who snapped the run with a short jumper after being put back in, starting an 14-3 run to close the game.
But the Wildcats' second unit was able to quickly close the gap as Devin Booker hit three of his first four shots for seven points, pulling the Wildcats to 17-15.
The Tigers started quickly and led by eight several times in the first five minutes, thanks largely to Martin and Mickey, who combined for 12 of LSU's first 14 points.
The Tigers managed to maintain a slim lead most of the half until jumps by Booker and Cauley-Stein capped an 8-2 Kentucky run shortly before halftime, giving the Wildcats a 38-34 lead.

But Grant followed with two foul shots, then stole the ball to lead to Jackson's tying layup. After Jackson's basket put Notre Dame up for good 58-56, Grant hit a fadeaway jumper.
The Irish (22-4, 10-3) overcame a four-point deficit down the stretch to push past Clemson with Grant, a major factor in the rally. Notre Dame trailed 56-52 after Rod Hall's three-point play for the Tigers with 4:07 to go.
CLEMSON, S.C. — Jerian Grant scored 22 points and Demetrius Jackson hit the tying and go-ahead baskets as No. 10 Nore Dame outlasted Clemson 60-58 on Tuesday night.
Notre Dame bounced back after a 90-60 loss at home last Saturday to No. 4 Duke.
The Tigers (14-10, 6-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) missed two shots at the end, including a 3-pointer by Damarcus Harrison that hit off the rim as time ran out.
Jaron Blossomgame led Clemson with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
Notre Dame is second in the ACC, scoring 80 points a game, yet looked like it would fall victim to Clemson's style of tough defense and grinding out each possession before scoring.
The dynamic Grant pulled the Irish out of that funk in the final four minutes for the
win to match the program's best 26-game start last accomplished in 1980-81.
Pat Connaughton had 14 points, including three of Notre Dame's six 3-pointers. Jackson finished with 11 points.
Harrison scored 15 points for Clemson.
fading down the stretch in a 56-45 loss at Miami that ended the 'Tigers' four-game win streak.
Clemson came out fast in this one, using a 9-0 run early on the way to a 25-17 lead after Harrison's jumper with 7:52 left in the half.
Both teams entered hoping to bounce back from disappointing losses.
Neither team was particularly sharp in the final five minutes before the break, combining to hit just five of 18 shots down the stretch.
Notre Dame's 30-point loss to Duke was its most lopsided loss since 1999. Clemson missed its chance to jump into the upper part of the ACC standings last Sunday,
Clemson did not attempt a foul shot in the opening half after finishing with just one in the Miami loss.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"They would be getting a workhorse, an established big league pitcher." Will Myers said of Shields on Saturday. "He has been a leader on both teams he's been on ... I would be excited to get him. He's a great pitcher."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

FACT OF THE DAY

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who else was in the running for James Shields' pitching services?
A: The Cubs
THE MORNING BREW
James Shields signs to San Diego Padres
There was no doubt around the league that the Royals wouldn't be able to hold onto their starting pitcher for another year following an AL Pennant and subsequent World Series run. With so much anticipation surrounding his next move, it came as no surprise when James Shields signed with the San Diego Padres two days ago for four years and $75 million.
Austin Wagoner
@awagoner23
Shields did for the Royals exactly what he was needed to do: He brought leadership, confidence and excitement to a team that had missed the playoffs for 27 years straight prior to his much-needed arrival. Dayton Moore's big gamble paid off for both parties.
When the Royals sent Will Myers and Jake Odorizzi to the Rays in exchange for Shields and right-handed pitcher Wade Davis, Royals faithful were angry and confused.
put into the role of starting pitcher, and went 8-11 with a 5.32 ERA. The Royals missed the playoffs again, and wit-nessed Will Myers earn AL Rookie of the Year. Fans were calling for Dayton Moore's head and understandably so.
The Royals administration held strong with Dayton Moore's plan, and during this past season, the Royals started to win consistently. Shields proved to be a solid starting pitcher, going 14-8
During the 2013 season, Shields went
13-9 with a solid 3.15 ERA. Davis was
with an 2.21 ERA, according to ESPN.com. Wade Davis then became part of the trio of pitchers (Davis-Herrara-Holland) that could finish any batting order off with a lead that it faced.
The Royals slipped into the playoffs with a wild card, and stunned the Athletics. They
swept the Angels and Orioles to make it into the World Series, where they eventually lost to the Giants. In two short years, the gamble paid off and Dayton Moore's risky move proved to be genius.
THE BREW
Shields didn't pitch well in the post-season, but he didn't pitch poorly either. He posted a 5.85, according to ESPN.com. He did lose both games he started in the World Series, but they were against MVP Madison Bumgarner. He remained level headed and poised, and continued to keep his young team positive as they pushed it all the way to Game Seven.
What shields and do was earn himself big money. In just two years with the Royals pitching staff, he showed that he could be a leader, he could help young pitchers develop the confidence
they were missing, and more importantly, that he could be the face of a team that makes the World Series.
San Diego made another good decision this off-season, as they also acquired Will Myers, Justin Upton and Matt Kemp. The Padres may look to compete immediately and will rely on the same intangibles that James Shields brought to the Royals' AL Championship run.

Baylor forward Taurean Prince (21) is fouled going to the basket by Oklahoma State's Michael Cobbins (20) as Le'Bryan Nash (2) and Christian Sager (15) in the first half of the basketball game Monday in Waco, Texas. With six Big 12 teams in the Top 25, the conference is set to face some tough competitors this week.
Big 12 facing string of big games this week
IJOHN MARSHALL
Associated Press
With six teams in the Top 25, the Big 12 has big games pretty much every week.
This one will be no different as the 10 teams in college basketball's deepest conference jockey for position.
It started on Monday night, when No. 21 Oklahoma State won at No. 16 Baylor 74-65 and No. 17 Oklahoma beat No. 14 Iowa State 94-83.
On Wednesday, No. 21 West Virginia tries to end a two-game losing streak at Kansas State, which
may need a late push to get an NCAA tournament bid.
The Big 12's big day is Saturday, highlighted by Kansas at Baylor.
The Jayhawks lost at No. 21 Oklahoma State last week, but didn't lose any ground in The Associated Press Top 25, remaining at No. 8 this week.
The Bears (18-6) moved up three spots to No. 16 this week after routing TCU and West Virginia last week, but could drop after the home loss to Oklahoma State.
Kansas and Baylor opened their Big 12 seasons against each other on Jan. 7, when Wayne Selden scored
three straight baskets, including a tiebreaking three-pointer, to send the Jayhawks to a 56-55 win in Waco.
The Jayhawks (19-4) lead the Big 12 at 8-2, a game ahead of No. 13 Iowa State, in their bid to win an 11th-straight regular-season conference championship.
"It's so early. My thinking is, a lot of times when you wish for something to happen early in conference play, it turns out to be totally irrelevant late and it may end up biting you," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "So we just watch, not get too hung up or emotional in what's going on and then just focus in on what we need
to do."
The rest of Saturday's schedule includes more important games in the Big 12 race.
Iowa State (17-6), down three spots to No. 14 in the latest poll, faces a tough test at West Virginia.
After knocking off the Cyclones, Oklahoma (17-7) plays at Kansas State after climbing four sports to No. 17 in the latest poll.
Oklahoma State (16-7) closes out its week against TCU, which is 1-9 in Big 12 play.
The Big East has a pretty big game Saturday as well.
Villanova (21-2), which moved up
to No. 6 in this week's poll, faces a tough road test against No. 18 Butler.
The Wildcats have bounced back from a loss to Georgetown by reeling off four straight lopsided victories.
Villanova beat Butler 67-55 in their Big East opener, but the Bulldogs (18-6) have won five straight and moved up four spots in the latest poll. Butler is second in the Big East at 8-3, a half-game behind Villanova.
"They've earned the right to play a meaningful game in February," Butler coach Chris Holtmann said. "Now, let's go and prepare for it."

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
The Jayhawks got off to a slow start in the first half, as Texas Tech kept the game close until the final minute. Early on, it was Wayne Selden Jr. who led the way, scoring 13 of the team's 27 points (48.1 percent), including a three-pointer at the end of the half to push the Jayhawks' lead to 5.
2ND HALF
It was all Kansas in the second half, as Greene, Mason, Alexander and Ellis led the way. The four players combined for 36 points, while posting six assists and five rebounds to just one turnover. The Jayhawks outscored the Red Raiders by 17 points, and it was only that close because Self put the walk-ons in at the end of the game.
GAME TO REMEMBER
SAM BROOKS
Frank Mason was the driving force for the Jayhawks for much of the night, scoring 10 points, while totaling eight assists. Mason had more assists than every other player on Kansas combined, and he led the team with a plus/minus of +25 in 31 minutes.
---
GAME TO FORGET
ANUARO MUKUNGE
Devonte' Graham had a quiet showing, failing to score in his 11 minutes on the court. Graham was the only player typically in the rotation to have a negative plus/minus rating, and looking at his last two games, the point guard has three fouls and three turnovers to just two total assists while shooting 0-of-6 from the field.

DAILY DEBATE Who has the best All-Star team? | PAGE 7
COMMENTARY
Kansas set to bolster NFL presence in 2015
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
The top name, though maybe not the most likely to succeed in the NFL, is inside linebacker Ben Heeney, who stands at an undersized 6-foot, 230-pounds. He's been the Jayhawks' leading tackler and soul of the defense for three years, but it's not going to be easy for him to make a 53-man roster.
Although football season at the University of Kansas has underwhelmed over the past half-decade under the likes of Turner Gill and Charlie Weis, every so often, fans have the NFL Draft to look forward to.
has been drafted. This year, Kansas has a few draft-eligible players that are worth keeping an eye on, starting with the NFL Combine next weekend.
Edited by Victoria Kirk
Luckily for Heeney, he's been known for his motor and relentless work ethic, despite average athleticism. If he gets drafted, a team will snag him around the seventh-round for special teams purposes. If he sticks, he'll be a reserve on an NFL team, but with his motor, it will be hard to cut him.
The draft process has already began with all of these Jayhawks, but the combine is where it will all culminate, in front of scouts from every NFL team. When April rolls around, we're sure to hear a few names called "from the University of Kansas."

Kansas freshman forward Cliff Alexander shoots against Texas Tech's Isaiah Manderson during Tuesday night's game in Lubbock, Texas. Alexander, sophomore guard Brannen Greene and junior forward Perry Ellis combined for a total of 30 points during the game.
ZACH LONG/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The player with the most NFL promise from this Jayhawks team is cornerback JaCorey Shepherd, who led the Big 12 in defended passes in 2014. If there's one position where the Jayhawks strive in the NFL in recent years, it's cornerback.
Punter Trevor Pardula will work out at the combine on Feb. 20 with specialists, where he will likely solidify his spot as a top three punter in the draft class. Last year, only one punter was taken in the NFL Draft, so it's unlikely that he will be drafted. If he hooks on with a team, it'll be as an undrafted free agent in a punting battle to make the final 53-man roster.
THREES, PLEASE
Combine measurements will be big for Shepherd, but I'd currently expect him to go in the fourth or fifth round of the draft. He has the best shot of any Jayhawk to make a real impact with a team in the NFI
At 5-foot-11, Shepherd won't play as an outside corner in the NFL as much as he did at Kansas; instead, he'll play in the slot. Shepherd doesn't show great feet on film, or have standout speed, but he does have the wow factor, as he snagged five interceptions over the last two seasons.

He's great in man coverage with good hips, which he exhibited in January's East-West Shrine Game.
Three-pointers secure victory for Jayhawks
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
Kansas fans are used to seeing names like Cole Aldrich, Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey getting easy, buckets in the paint. This season, the Jayhawks are struggling with size and are gaining their points in a different way.
The three-point basket was prevalent again in Kansas' 73-51 win against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks didn't just put up a lot of shots behind the arc, they were also effective and efficient.
The Jayhawks' ability to hit the three-point shot has been both surprising and frustrating. Entering Tuesday night's game, Kansas led the Big 12 in three-point-shooting and ranked among the bottom of the conference in two-point field goal percentage.
Right out of the gate,
sophomore Wayne Selden,
Jr. knocked in a three-point
basket to get the Jayhawks
on the board. Selden has
been on fire from deep,
coming into the game having
converted on nine of his last
12 threes.
Selden stayed on fire, shooting 4-7 from three and leading Kansas with 16. Texas Tech was able to keep things close heading into the half due to turnovers as Kansas had eight of them in the half.
Sophomore Brannen Greene entered the game leading the Big 12 in three-point percentage, at 62 percent. Greene did not see the floor much in the first half, playing only two minutes and not scoring. Greene finished the game 2-3 from deep with ten points.
By the half, the Jayhawks had already shot 13 threes, but had only converted on five. Kansas erupted from deep in the second half, shooting 6-7. Junior forward Perry Ellis added a three of his own, scoring 14 points and adding nine rebounds.
Freshman Cliff Alexander got his second start of his young career and made this one count. Alexander recorded ten points on 4-5 shooting, adding four blocks.
Sophomore Frank Mason continued to be one of Kansas' most important players, extending his scoring streak to 21 games and adding eight. Mason was also 2-2 from the three-point line.
Kansas shot 55 percent from the three-point line while shooting only 53 percent from the field in total. This Kansas team is scoring points differently than in years past. Threepointers can only carry a team so far when it comes to March Madness. If Kansas is on from deep, it will win, if the Jayhawks are struggling to knock in the deep ball, they'll lose.
Next up for the Jayhawks is a matchup against the No. 16 Baylor Bears at home. Kansas defeated Baylor 56-55 earlier in the season in one of Kansas closest conference games.

Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius speaks to students at the Dole Institute of Politics on a previous visit about her time as a university student.
TRAVIS DIESING
@Travis_Diesing
Kathleen Sebelius, former governor of Kansas and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, will speak at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics tonight at 7:30 p.m. Her session is the first in the Institute's lecture series, "The First Woman President 2.0." Sebelius sat down with Travis Diesing and a 6News reporter to answer questions about her upcoming presentation. Here are some highlights from the interview. For the full interview, check Kansan.com.
What are some of the main topics you will be discussing?
SEBELIUS: It's a conversation, so basically I'm going to be in a dialogue with Bill Lacy (director of the Dole Institute) about not only some of my own personal career, but also what's happening nationally with women in politics.
Given the current state of the budget, education and healthcare, what do you think about the current state of Kansas?
SEBELIUS: Well, I think there are some very serious problems. The state has been downgraded by the financial experts two or three times in the last year and a half. That's not good for bond ratings; that's not good for interest payments.
VISIT KANSAN.COM FOR MORE INFO ON THIS STORY
Schools had already experienced the largest cuts in history. Now my understanding is the governor and the Legislature are proposing to cut this year's budget even further halfway through a school year, and I always used to like to remind people that people didn't come to Kansas for the mountains or the ocean. They came for a quality of life and great education for their kids and jobs. And unfortunately Kansas is also lagging behind surrounding states, and certainly the country, in

Senior Garrett Wolfe, sophomore Garrett Farlow and second-year pharmacy student Jacob McKnight propose a bill to create a student senator position for ROTC. The bill passed last night through full senate.
Student Senate approves first-ever seat for ROTC
ALANA FLINN
@alana_finn
For the first time in University history, ROTC students will now receive representation in Student Senate after a bill passed through full senate Wednesday night.
McKnight said this bill has been actively worked on throughout the year. For him, this bill is an opportunity for ROTC members to have an outlet for contributing ideas to Senate.
This bill, authored by sophomore Garrett Farlow from Tecumseh, senior Garrett Wolfe from Boise, Idaho, and second-year pharmacy student Jacob McKnight from Shawnee, Kan., will immediately establish senate representation for the current 235 ROTC cadets and midshipmen.
"As a whole group of people, specifically 235 cadets, they don't have any true representation in the senate, so their voice isn't heard," McKnight said. "They don't even have an avenue by which to give their voice."
"I think it's a better way for us to get involved in the University," Patelli said. "There's a university bubble and an ROTC bubble... we get so wrapped up in training and lose the campus aspect, so we want to bring back the whole college aspect."
Junior Lauren Patelli from Basehor is one of the youngest cadets who attended full senate to support the bill.
Only one person remains hospitalized after Sunday's shooting that sent three victims to Kansas City area trauma centers. One of the victims, a University student,

Additionally, McKinley said
The shooting took place in the early evening of Sunday, Feb. 8 at a home on the 1600 block of 19th Terrace.
there have been no further updates in the pursuit of the suspects.

Minority student activist fights for rights of others

Omar Rana, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., is active in many minority student groups.

It's 10:08 a.m on a Wednesday. Omar Rana is walking in the Kansas Union wearing a stylish blue wool hoodie, gym shorts, tennis shoes and matching blue sunglasses. He can't reach his destination before he's stopped four times by students, professors and advisors.
"Omar, just the person I needed to see to brighten my day," says Garrett Farlow, a fellow Student Senate member, who is obviously happy to see him. "How have you been?"
Rana, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., studying history and business, may not be a celebrity in the Hollywood sense, but he's made himself into one of the most well-known social activists on campus. He's the current president of Delta Lambda Phi, the gay/bisexual progressive fraternity on campus. He's involved with three minority student organizations: the First Nation Students Association, the South Asian Students Association' and the Brazilian Students Association. Rana is also active in SUA and Student Senate, where he helped create the new director of diversity and inclusion position.
Rana said he draws from his own experiences to stand up for diversity and inequality. He identifies as a South-Asian, Native-American, gay male and said he's often judged by his appearance. He said he gets "dirty looks" at the airport and is easily picked out in a crowd. In high school, he was a victim of bullying and discrimination, he said.

Q&A: Senior wins award for cell-death research
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
After winning a Student Presentation Award at the 2014 Society for Advancement of Hispanics/ Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). Marcus Florez, a senior from Bel Aire, sat down to talk with the Kansan.
KANSAN: Can you describe the SACNAS conference?
KANSAN: How did you find out you had won a Student Presentation Award?
FLOREZ: I presented the research I did over the summer through my internship at Harvard Medical Center over mechanisms of cell death. The conference was huge, because there were tons of presenters there, along with representatives from each university, students who just wanted to watch and industries where people could apply for jobs.
FLOREZ: It's actually funny, because they presented the awards on the very last day of the conference, and I wasn't even going to go to the awards ceremony because I wanted to spend time with my long-distance girlfriend who was actually there. I ended up going anyways, and I was
really surprised when I saw my name on the giant screen. I even messed up when I submitted my application, because I put that I was affiliated with Harvard rather than KU because I thought it was referring to my research. So when they showed my name, it also read that I was from Harvard.
FLOREZ: I had been to the conference twice before, although I only presented once, and I don't think the judges liked me. This time around, I just didn't believe the presentation went well, so I was happily surprised.
KANSAN: Why didn't you believe you were going to win?
KANSAN: What made you choose the topic you presented?
FLOREZ: I came into KU thinking I wanted to be a doctor because I liked medicine and helping people. Then I took an honors seminar that was research-focused, and we had to choose a topic of interest, and I chose Alzheimer's because my grandpa had died of it. Everything I learned fascinated me, so when I got to Harvard, I listed neurological diseases and loss of cells in the brain as some of my preferred areas of
study since they both applied to Alzheimer's. Luckily, this is what my lab group and I ended up focusing on.
KANSAN: So, you don't want to be a doctor anymore?
FLOREZ: My dream job is to be a physician scientist, which requires getting both an M.D. and Ph.D. This way, I could spend about 30 percent of my week seeing patients in a hospital or clinic, and the rest in a lab running experiments. It would be cool to even use samples from my patients so that I could relate what I do in the clinic to my research.
KANSAN: How did you go from being in a researchfocused seminar to studying at Harvard Medical school?
FLOREZ: I started doing research here with the help of Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) through the Office of Diversity in Science Training. IMSD functions to help underrepresented students in STEM fields, whether it be Hispanics like myself, women in math or engineering, or first-generation college students. They helped me find and fund a research lab, and assisted me throughout my entire undergraduate career.

What do you think about Gov. Sam Brownback's recent decision to rescind your anti-discrimination bill?
BROOK BARNES/KANSAN
Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will speak at the Dole Institute tonight. She is also the former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
You're here to talk about the potential of a first female president in 2016. Do you think that's a possibility?
SEBELIUS: I found it just incredibly troubling and shocking. At a time when the world and the country seem to be embracing the civil rights of gay, lesbian, transgender individuals, Kansas is taking a step back. We just talked about really serious challenges that the state has about the future. This executive order has been in place for eight years. I have no idea what problem his rescission is trying to solve. As far as I know, there hasn't been a single issue brought forward that needed correcting, and I find it a very troubling signal to the rest of the country that Kansas is really taking a step back and embracing possible discrimination in the workplace. So I'm baffled and troubled and find it a really shocking statement to make at this day and age for the state of Kansas.
SEBELIUS: Oh, I think that it's very much a possibility. This is the second time the Dole Institute has actually had these conversations. They had a series in 2006 about a woman president and the possibility and had a series of speakers come in and out. You know, Kansas has a long and very proud history of women in elective office, of women being supported. Kansas women could vote years before they could vote nationally. Kansans were electing all-women governments at a time when women couldn't even vote, so the people in this part of the country understand that it's really about the talents and attributes of a candidate, not really about the gender, and I think this is a great place to have this discussion. If Hillary Clinton is a candidate, she will be
a very formidable candidate in the 2016 election, and I think she has a very good opportunity to become the first woman president.

But these are also fellow students - these people are jayhawks." After the bill passed 41-1-1, Wolfe he's happy the bill was able to come to fruition.
"Senate's been on a good course with diversity so far, and [dealing with events involving minorities] this year, this is just another part of that - increasing representation to student groups that don't have the same access as a CLAS senator has," Wolfe said. "I think it's also important [that] the more people we get involved in the governance process, the more people feel like they belong here." Farlow also expressed his feelings on the bill getting passed.
"I'm at a loss for words. It's such a great accomplishment, because when I graduate here, I will become the one-hundredth commission class at KU which translates to almost 100 years of ROTC's misrepresentation in university governance," Farlow said.

To further his efforts, Rana is starting a Greek allies program, which many universities have in place to support their LGBT communities on campus. The program will educate and aid in the development of a more inclusive Greek community. As if he doesn't already have enough to do, he also has a part-time job at the Applied English Center working with international students.

But he said the project he is most excited about hasn't been completed yet. Rana and his friends are working to create a bill to help minority women feel more comfortable on campus, though the details are still being discussed.

His friends say Rana's empathy is matched by his buoyant and gregarious personality.
"Whenever I see Omar on campus, I either see him going up to talk to someone or someone running up to him to give him a bear hug. Farlow said.

"You may think what you're doing is minute," he said, "but a little work goes a long way and can mean so much, even if you just help one person."
While he said he thinks the University does a good job making minority students on campus feel welcome and accepted, "there's always room for improvement," Rana said. He would like to see admission standards that are more supportive of minority populations, more promotion of multicultural organizations and their events and more required Eastern culture history courses.
Rana plans to go to law school and one day work for a lobbying organization focusing on minority rights. For now, he's happy to make a difference on campus.

Gray-Little says University's policy not affected by governor's repeal
Wednesday afternoon, all University students and staff received a letter written by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little reassuring that Brownback's decision to revoke an executive order that protected state employees from sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination does not alter KU's non-discrimination policy, and inclusivity is still valued at the University.
"We are committed to the university of Kansas being an inclusive community where all feel welcome and able to express themselves without fear of discrimination." Gray-Little's statement said.
Brownback said he didn't want to create additional protections for one individual group of Kansas citizens in a media statement on Tuesday.
"This Executive Order ensures that state employees enjoy the same civil rights as all Kansans without creating additional 'protected classes' as the previous order did," the statement said. "Any such expansion of 'protected classes' should be done by the legislature and not through unilateral action."
Omar Rana, Student Senate member and President of Delta Lambda Phi, the gay/bisexual progressive fraternity, said the chancellor's message was very admirable and comforting.
it was very brave of her to go against the grain, and it's great that we are striving for more inclusivity as a university," Rana said.

Current tobacco policy lacks enforcement
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boees
The University's current policy regarding on-campus smoking requires smoking to take place at least 20 feet away from buildings. However, the policy is not always well enforced, according to some students.
In the policy, as stated in the KU Online Policy Library, there is no University entity charged with enforcement. The policy does not state what the repercussions might be for those who do not follow it.
"People are required to stay 20 feet away from the building, but they don't," said Jazmin Rico, a senior from Huntington Beach, Calif. "[The policy] is not enforced at all."
However, there are procedures in place for smokers who do not adhere to the policy, according to information provided by Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, the director of news and media relations. If complaints about policy violations are made to Human Resources, the department attempts gather information about the student, faculty member, or staff member who violated the policy.
In the case that Human Resources knows the identity of that individual, "HR works with the administrator who supervises that individual or mentors/advisers the student to provide counseling and subsequent guidance about disciplinary processes if the violation is ongoing," said Barcomb-Peterson.
Most of the time, however.
a complaint is made about an individual whose identity is unknown. HR sends a restatement of the policy to the dean or primary building owner, asking them to circulate it to the students in their programs. Barcomb-Peterson said. This reminder also includes the consequences for repeated violations.
The other course of action that Human Resources can take is to ask Facilities Services to install signs around doors, serving as a reminder of the policy.
As for how the policy plays out in and around Student Housing, Barcomb-Peterson said. "Students generally are in compliance with the 20-feet-from-a-door policy. If someone were found to be smoking close to a door, it is usually handled informally with a staff member asking the person to step further away from the door."
The final method for dealing with policy violations is through the Public Safety Office. If a complaint is made and the violator is still nearby when an officer arrives, the officer reminds the violator of the University's policy.
Martin Rule, a graduate student from England, said while he believes all of the current policies, including smoking outdoors and smoking 20 feet away from buildings, are reasonable, he is not a fan of what the policy might become in the future with the tobacco-free initiative that would ban any and all smoking and tobacco from campus.

@KansanNews
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
As far back as I can remember, my body has been sexualized. Throughout my childhood, I was taught to cross my legs when I wore a skirt, and even though all the boys in the neighborhood walked around without shirts, girls were not allowed to do it. It is not ladylike. At ages 5 and 6, this did not register with me. Why do I have to worry about people seeing my body?
This semester I decided to take my first women's studies class in an attempt to become the most well-rounded
feminist I could be. Over and over, I hear my fellow female classmates discuss instances where they have been assaulted for trying to live out their day-to-day lives solely for being a woman.
I do not want to live in a society that leaves me frightened in my own community. Even if my dress is too short
or my shirt fits too snug, I do not want that to be an invitation. Just because men tend to have higher sex drives, according to WebMD, and I may be a little intoxicated, does not mean I am asking for it. We need to teach young boys to not just grow up to be men, but to be gentlemen as well — a man who views women as their equal
and not just an object there for their convenience. At universities, we are the future. By tackling these issues of sexism, the world can be a better place for everyone.

Valentine's Day should be celebrated by all
花店经理 冯晓明

W we have all done it; admit it. At one point you
one point you have thought, "Valentine's Day is dumb. It's not even a real holiday." Pink and red obnoxiously splattered everywhere, beautiful flowers that always die, bears larger than the girls who receive them. It is easy to understand why so many people see Feb. 14 as an eyesore.
Floral designer Tony Montano creates a St. Valentine's Day Euro-Gathered arrangement at Winston Flowers on Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich, Conn. on Thursday. Valentine's Day should not make you feel lonely, opinion columnist Anissa Fritz said.
However, I call foul on the harsh judgment that Valentine's Day has to endure. Those who may not have someone special to celebrate with or those who recently went through a harsh breakup are usually the ones who pass this judgment. But Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a couples-only holiday.
BOB LUCKEY/ASSOCIATED PRESS
After recently getting out of a relationship, I automatically found myself dreading this upcoming holiday. As I walled in my 10-minute self-pity session, I was hit by a revelation: Just because I am short one person in my life does not mean society dictates how my Valentine's Day is spent. This is 2015 — if you want a teddy bear bigger than your bed, then you buy that teddy bear, and you name it Ryan Gosling.
Valentine's Day should not make you feel lonely. Instead, it should make you feel loved, wanted and cherished. You do not need to be in a relationship to have those feelings on Valentine's Day, or any day of the year. Don't spend the day glaring at_couples, or under your covers all day wishing you had a candlelit dinner to go to.
Have a lunch or dinner
date with your other single friends. Buy small chocolate hearts and hand them out to your roommates. Use Valentine's Day as an excuse to tell everyone around you that you love them. Make your pet your valentine and
spend the day outside with it.Call your parents and tell them that just for this day, you will openly admit you love them.
The breakup may sting a little more, the public displays of affection may
be almost too gross to bear and the novel-length Instagram posts from your friends who are in relationships may make you sick, but do not sneer at other people's happiness. Use Valentine's Day to love your
friends, parents or anyone who touches your soul instead of rolling your eyes at those in love.

1. Offerman owns a woodworking shop in Los Angeles called Offerman Woodshop. Harvesting wood from fallen trees, the shop produces handcrafted mustache combs, skateboards and birdhouses, among other delights.
Viewers and fans may be familiar with the characters Offerman has played on screen, but how well do you really know Offerman himself? Here are seven fun facts you may not have known about him.
2. In addition to being a comedian and actor, Offerman also stretches his literary skills. His book, entitled "Paddle Your Own Canoe," describes his musings on
3. Speaking of Mullally, Offerman has been married to the actress (who plays Swanson's ex-wife, Tammy II, on "Parks") since 2003.
4. Offerman recently announced on Twitter that he and Mullally will launch a comedy tour this spring called "Summer of 69."

such topics as "meat, manliness and Mullally (Megan)," according to his website.
5. Offerman's first-credited acting role was in the 1997 movie "Going all the Way," in which he played Wilks. The movie also starred Ben Affleck, Rachel Weisz and Rose McGowan.
6. Originally a theater actor, Offerman won the Joseph Jefferson Award Citation for Actor in a Supporting Role in a Play for "The Kentucky Cycle" in 1997 and the Joseph Jefferson Award Citation for Puppetry and Masks for the play "The Skriker" in 1998, according to IMDb.

the mashed potatoes were tasty, drenched in gravy (but what doesn't taste good once it's drenched in gravy?).
Although the sides were disappointing, they weren't what I was really there for. My primary purpose was to try that doughnut chicken sandwich Harolds is known for.
The sandwich was ready a few minutes after the sides. When I saw and smelled my Grilled Glazer, I knew I was going to enjoy it.
The fried chicken was perfectly cooked; slightly crunchy and salty on the outside, savory and juicy on the inside. The maple glaze from the doughnut
Overall, the sandwich was very good. I highly recommend that you give this crazy sounding sandwich a try. Harolds has indoor seating and a drive-thru in case you're on the run.
I can only describe the secret sauce as a sweet, ranch-like sauce. The cheddar cheese on the sandwich was eclipsed by the strong flavors of the chicken, doughnut and secret sauce, but I trust the sandwich as a whole benefits from the slight hint of cheese.
Middle school students given 'Fifty Shades of Grey' puzzles
MONESSEN, Pa. — Parents in a Pennsylvania school district are turning 50 shades of red over word search puzzles given to middle school students based on an erotic novel and movie.
- Edited by Mackenzie Clark
Parent James Carter complained about it at Tuesday night's school board meeting, saying he tried to question the school's principal and dean of students, but they refused to talk when he insisted on recording their conversation.
The students in Monessen were given puzzles based on "Fifty Shades of Grey" that contained terms including "spanking," "submissive," "leather cuffs" and "bondage." Other words on the list were more explicit.
was great in combination with the savory flavor of the fried chicken. At $6, the sandwich was well worth it.
"I wanted to record the conversation because a lot of parents had questions about it, and I was denied that," Carter told
"It was a huge but unintentional error and collected from the five students involved as soon as it was realized," Roberta Bergstedt wrote in an email. "Unfortunately one copy was taken by a student who then posted it on social media."
Monessen district officials said at the meeting that they couldn't discuss the issue because they just learned about it Monday. Superintendent Leanne Spazak said the circumstances of the puzzle are under investigation.

One school board member who didn't attend the meeting told WTAE-TV that the puzzle was a big mistake.
The movie opens in theaters Friday. It's based on a best-selling book by E L James about a college student and her torrid affair with a 27-year-old billionaire with a penchant for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.

Sip and Shop event to display local artistry
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
Sip and Shop has had a presence in Lawrence since 2008 as a holiday art show, but this year will be the first time it falls near Valentine's Day. In addition to providing the chance for some retail therapy, Sip and Shop is a social opportunity for those interested in breaking into the art and craft industry.
On Friday, Feb. 13, the Roost, 920 Massachusetts St., will host the event from 6-9 p.m. Sip and Shop offers an array of handmade Valentine's goodies for sale complete with jewelry, flowers and hand-lettered cards. The Roost's coffee and alcohol bars will be running so visitors can have a drink browse and schmooze with some of the finest artists Lawrence has to offer.
Grater is the owner of Early jewelry, organizer for Valentine's Sip and Shop and a university alumna.
"It's just a fun event and it can give customers an excuse to take out their girlfriend or boyfriend, and they can shop and get things the day before Valentine's," Kylie Grater said. "It's just a fun atmosphere."
Historically organized by Wonder Fair: Art Gallery, Shoppe and Studio in Lawrence, Grater has taken the reins for the Valentine's event. While Sip and Shop can make for a great couples activity, it offers more than just the opportunity for a romantic evening.
"Valentine's Sip and Shop is not just for people who want to celebrate Valentine's Day with their loved ones," said Meredith Moore, owner of Wonder Fair and University alumna. "It also happens to be taking place on Galentine's Day. It's for celebrating friendship, so bring a friend and have a drink."
Galentine's Day is a fictional holiday from the television series "Parks and Recreation" where girl friends celebrate their friendship.
thing the best that you can. It's cool to see all of that."
Planning Sip and Shop involved selecting vendors and the venue. The reason for the choice of the Roost is because Grater met Manda Jolly, owner of the Roost, in their Design 1 class at the University, and they have remained close friends, Grater said.
Anthony graduated from the University in 2006 with a degree in English literature and women's studies. Many of the other vendors have close ties with the University and Lawrence, as well.

"It's really cool to see what other people are doing," Anthony said. "We have a lot of talent and I feel like, in general, when people are building a business, I think it pushes you to do some-
Jess Anthony, co-owner of Wood + Salt and a University alumna, will also be a vendor at the event. She and her brother have built their business around the idea of deconstructing the flavors of Kansas City barbecue and creating artisanal salt products.
"The best part is how empowered and awesome you feel when your stuff is selling, and people get your craft and seeing other people feel that way," Grater said. "For me, getting to view my friends and seeing them feel successful from selling their craft or art, it's awesome."
KYLIE GRATER
Sip and Shop organizer
"It's just a fun event and it can give customers an excuse to take out their girlfriend or boyfriend, and they can shop and get things the day before Valentine's."
"If people ever want to talk to the vendors, people are always willing to give suggestions and advice about how to get involved and sell their craft," Grater said. "Some of them also take internships, too."
Aside from the selection of various forms of art, Sip and Shop also provides an opportunity for those seeking to enter the arts industry.
"It means a lot to me to be able to do these events in Lawrence," Moore said. "Lawrence feels like home to me, both on campus and downtown. When we do an event like Sip and Shop, and we see hundreds of people coming through and they're all really enjoying being at the event, there's a sense that you're doing a good deed supporting your neighbor, and I like seeing that."
Overall, this event is authentic to Lawrence — from the eclectic showcase of artists, to the deep-seated connection with the University.
"We have a strong track record of presenting really diverse artists who people are excited to see out at a market," Moore said. "We're also maybe the most fun art market, because there's booze. Have a cocktail, shop for art — everything's good."

Jon Stewart's 'The Daily Show' run tastefully mixed news, comedy
Colin Remick
@Crems4
This week, Jon Stewart announced on "The Daily Show" that he would retire sometime at the end of 2015, ending perhaps one of the most respected, thoughtful and well-done tenures of any newsman in history. Having a job in which one makes fun of the news, or at least spins it in a humorous way, is not easy and is something that may seem more appropriate for an SNL skit than a nightly news show. However, over the better part of the last two decades, Stewart has been able to make his show a beacon for journalism that remains fresh and well done.
Stewart took over "The Daily Show" in 1999
after a brief and largely uninteresting spell under the host Craig Kilborn, best known for his brief role in the film "Old School." At this time, "The Daily Show" was a fledgling program on a network that relied almost solely on "South Park" and "Beavis and Butt-head" for any sort of viewership.
Most importantly, however, was that the early incarnation of the program was much less politically inspired, rather basing its comedic content on character-driven humor and sketches. When Kilborn left amidst a small amount of controversy, it was unclear whether the show would continue. Then came Stewart.
At the time, Stewart was best known for his roles
in films like "Big Daddy" and a brief appearance in "Half Baked." He had also hosted several late night comedy shows for Comedy Central since the mid-90s. He was known as one of the most poignant guys in the business, interested not in fame or massive comedy specials, but rather in a quest for truth and conveying it in a comedic and understandable way. In order to do this, Stewart took on a much deeper role in the production of the show than Kilborn had attempted by acting as both an executive producer and a lead writer.
Through his show, we get comedy in one of the most original forms, presented to us in a way that is genuine and funny but truly thought-
Six unlucky movies to watch this Friday the 13th
provoking as well. We also got to see the early work of actors and newsmen like Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert, who both acted as correspondents in the early, formative years of the show.
Stewart blurs the line between comedy and news. He makes us question what we are hearing and how it is presented. In a new media age of overdone segments, big transitions and any and all attempts the big news corporations tried to shift viewers' attention from what was really happening in the world, Stewart brings it back and makes it real. If Colbert introduced us to the true limits of satire, it is safe to say that Stewart introduced us to the depths of sincerity.

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD
Renowned director Sidney Lumet's final film blisters with tension from
There's a whole series of gory slasher flicks named after the unlucky Friday the 13th, but chances are you're worried about things going inexplicably wrong all day instead of fearing Jason Voorhees. In hopes you don't get the short end of the stick tomorrow, you can watch these films about other people's lives unraveling instead.
MARGIN CALL
A phenomenal ensemble including Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons and Zachary Quinto star in this Wall Street thriller about an investment firm that realizes the impending 2008 market crash the night before it happens. There's a powerful air of dread and helplessness flowing throughout it as these big-wig suits and traders realize the doom about to befall everyone.

A SERIOUS MAN
GRAVITY
Disaster strikes a space shuttle and newbie astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) goes through zero-gravity hell, in real time. Every option for survival she embarks upon brings her closer and closer to death in one edge-of-your-seat obstacle after another. The unparalleled, virtuoso continuous shots and stunning special effects put viewers right in Stone's terrifying perspective with a nerve-grinding intensity earthly experiences can't match.
This underappreciated Coen Brothers dark comedy slams hapless college professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) with one unfortunate problem after another, his misery unfolding in a clever and transcendent rhythm. Larry's wife asks for a get (a Jewish divorce), the vote on his tenure looks unfavorable, he's being blackmailed and the hilariously odd advice from his rabbis only leads him to more questions.
Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke's livewire performances as brothers who set up a robbery of their parents' jewelry store, which goes terribly, deathly wrong. The characters' lives then spiral uncontrollably toward destruction in the suspenseful aftermath.
THE HUNT
A child's lie has huge consequences for a small Danish community in this haunting, masterfully executed foreign drama, so powerful it stays with you for months. After a kindergarten says her teacher (Mads Mikkelsen) molested her, he becomes the target of a vicious witch hunt by the townspeople — even his friends — as they turn against him, while he
tries to prove his innocence before his life completely falls apart.
WAKE IN FRIGHT
This surreal Australian thriller from 1971, lost to time until 2009, shows the unnerving psychological breakdown of a teacher in the blazing, wild desert Outback. Stopped in a barbaric town and waiting for a plane, the teacher gets drunk (like all the other citizens) at the behest of a policeman and subsequently gambles all his money away. Then he falls in with a group of unhinged ruffians, is forced into a brutal kangaroo hunt and suffers even worse in the savage sun.

3 slain for their religion or their parking space?
JONATHAN DREW Associated Press
---
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Police are trying to determine whether hate played any role in the killing of three Muslims, a crime they said was sparked by a neighbor's long-simmering anger over parking and noise inside their condominium complex.
AL DRAGO/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nida Allam, a North Carolina State University student, rests her head on Asheen Allam, during a vigil for three people who were killed near UNC-Chapel Hill on Wednesday.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, describes himself as a "guntoting" atheist. Neighbors say he always seemed angry and confrontational.
His wife, Karen Hicks, said he "champions the rights of others" and said the killings "had nothing do with religion or the victims' faith." Later Wednesday, she issued another statement, saying she's divorcing him.
Hicks appeared in court Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder in the deaths Tuesday of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19. He pleaded indigence and was appointed a public defender.
Officers were summoned by a neighbor who called 911 reporting five to 10 shots and the sound of people screaming.
The women's father, Mohammad Abu-Salha, said police told him each was shot in the head inside the couple's apartment, and that he, for one, is convinced it was a hate crime.
"The media here bombards the American citizen with Islamic, Islamic, Islamic terrorism and makes people here scared of us and hate us and want us out. So if somebody has any conflict with you, and they already hate you, you get a bullet in
the head," said Abu-Salha, who is a psychiatrist.
The killings are fueling outrage among people who blame anti-Muslim rhetoric for hate crimes. A Muslim advocacy organization pressed authorities to investigate possible religious bias. Many posted social media updates with the hashtags #MuslimLivesMatter.
"We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated, and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case," Chapel Hill police Chief Chris Blue said in an email.
Chapel Hill Police asked the FBI for help in their probe, and Ripley Rand, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, said his office was monitoring the investigation. But Rand said the crime "appears at this point to have been an isolated incident."
About 2,000 people attended a candlelight vigil for the victims in the heart of UNC's campus Wednesday evening. Several people who knew them spoke about their selflessness as friends and recounted kindnesses that they had extended to others through the years.
Barakat and Mohammad were newlyweds who helped the homeless and raised funds to help Syrian refugees in Turkey this summer. They met while running the Muslim Student Association at N.C.State before he began pursuing an advanced degree in dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mohammad planned to join her husband in dentistry school in the fall.
Abu-Salha was visiting them Tuesday from Raleigh, N.C., where she was majoring in design at N.C. State.
"This was like the power couple of our community," said Ali Saijad, 21, the association's current president.
Many of the condominiums in the complex are rented or owned by students and recent graduates at UNC, whose campus is about three miles away.
Hicks had less success. Unemployed and driving a 15-year-old car, his wife said he's been studying to become a paralegal.
Both Hicks and his neighbors complained to the property managers, who apparently didn't intervene. "They told us to call the police if the guy came and harassed us again," Ahmad said.
Hicks, a Second Amendment rights advocate with a concealed weapons permit, often complained about both Christians and Muslims on his Facebook page. "Some call me a gun toting Liberal, others call me an open-minded Conservative," Hicks wrote.
Imad Ahmad, who lived in the condo where his friends were killed until Barakat and Mohammed were married in December, said Hicks complained about once a month that the two men were parking in a visitor's space as well as their assigned spot.
"This man was frustrated day in and day out about not being able to park where he wanted to," said Karen Hicks' attorney, Robert Maitland.
"He would come over to the door. Knock on the door and then have a gun on his hip saying 'You guys need to not park here,' said Ahmad, a graduate student in chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill. "He did it again after they got married."
The killings were "related to long-standing parking disputes my husband had with various neighbors regardless of their race, religion or creed." Karen Hicks said.
A woman who lives near
Police have not said how Hicks got inside the condominium, but on Wednesday afternoon there were no visible signs of damage to the door, which was affixed with orange stickers warning of biohazardous material inside. A wooden placard bearing Arabic script that translates to "Thanks to God" hung over their doorbell.
the scene described Hicks as short-tempered. "Any time that I saw him or saw interaction with him or friends or anyone in the parking lot or myself, he was angry," Samantha Maness said of Hicks. "He was very angry, anytime I saw him."
Hicks' ex-wife, Cynthia Hurley, said before they divorced about 17 years ago his favorite movie was "Falling Down" the 1993 Michael Douglas film about a divorced unemployed engineer who goes on a shooting rampage.
"That always freaked me out," Hurley said. "He watched it incessantly. He thought it was hilarious. He had no compassion at all," she said.
A probable cause hearing is scheduled for March 4. Police said Hicks was cooperating.

Mock trial team qualifies for national competition
With the fourth-place finish in regionals, the team will progress to the opening stages of the national tournament and have a chance at qualifying for the national championship tournament.
The University's mock trial team qualified for the opening stages of the American Mock Trial Association's national tournament, which will take place April 17-19 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The team finished with a 6-2 record at the Kansas City, Mo. regional tournament this past weekend. Out of 24 colleges competing, the University's "A' team, out of two University teams sent to the tournament, finished fourth.

@KansanNews
"I don't want to say it's an expectation (to qualify for nationals) because that makes it sound like we are entitled to [winning in regionals]," University team president Jordan Kane said. "But we had."
The regional tournament consisted of four trials for each team. For two trials, the team acted as plaintiff, and as defendant in the other two. Each trial was scored by two judges on two ballots. The University's team won six ballots and lost two throughout the four trials.
"We strive [to make nationals] every year," University team captain Will Admussen said. "This year, there was a lot of pressure because of the talent we knew was on the team."
Admussen said he was proud of his team's achievement, citing the Midwest's strong tradition of mock trial prowess. His team defeated reputable opponents, such as the University of Illinois-Urbana and the University of Missouri, to succeed in regionals. The University
"Weekends are pretty much out of the question for [our team]." Admussen said. "We take a lot of time out of our school, work and personal schedules to prepare for this."
The team missed qualification from regionals last year, but advanced through regionals in each of the two previous years.
strong desire and determination to get to opening round championships."
Kane, who was tied for first in the Most Outstanding Attorney category during regionals, looked forward to taking the team further in the competition.
"With all of the talent on our team and our ability to place that talent strategically, I think it was more of an expectation to (qualify past regionals) this year," Kane said. "Each year, our goal is to get to the opening round of championships
4
and from there, to quality for nationals, which we haven't done in a few years."
Before regionals, the team prepared by participating in five invitational tournaments during the fall semester.

Kansas to compete in two weekend meets 10B

New ball to go over the wall for Kansas baseball
"College baseball is fun again," baseball coach Ritch Price said at Kansas Baseball Media Day on Wednesday.
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
One simple change of the baseball could do just that.
Starting this year, college baseball will begin to move from a raised-seam baseball to a flat-seamed baseball. The decision was made after Washington State University Sport Science Laboratory conducted a study in the fall of 2014.
Kansas guard Wayne Selden Jr. defends against the OSU ball carrier during the first half of the Feb. 7 game in Stillwater, Okla. In his past four games, Selden has shot 19-of-25 from the three-point line.
What they found is that at an average of 95 mph, the new ball would travel 20 feet farther than the old one. The timing couldn't be more perfect for Kansas baseball
The Jayhawks utilized a lethal weekend starting rotation to carry them to their NCAA Regional appearance since 2009.
But gone are weekend warriors Wes Benjamin, Jordan Piche, Robert Kahana and Frank Duncan, now that they are off pitching professionally, leaving Kansas' rotation in question.
This weekend, Kansas will trot out inexperienced starters against No. 2 LSU in front of a soldout crowd.
No.8 Jayhawks to rebattle No.16 Bears

KANSAS

KU
Ben Krauth, a junior college transfer, will make his first Division I start Saturday. Sophomore Sean Rackoski will make his first collegiate start Sunday. Even Friday-night starter Drew Morovick will take the bump as the ace for the first time after having a midweek role last year.
But perhaps with the help of a new ball and the return of power hitters, Kansas can once again surpass preseason projections and find a way back into postseason play.
Kansas was picked to finish tied for seventh in the conference, according to a coaches preseason poll. Most of that is due to the fact the pitching staff remains unknown.
Even senior first baseman Blair Beck, who didn't muster a home run last year, hit two in fall ball. As a team, the Jayhawks hit nine in fall ball.
That would make Kansas baseball fun again.
Also returning for the Jayhawks are seniors Dakota Smith, who hit a pair of blasts, and Colby Wright, who also got a hold of one.
For the most part, Kansas brings back the bulk of its lineup, which is why a new ball to beef up college offenses may be beneficial to this year's Kansas squad.
In order for Kansas to compete not only this weekend but for the season, its offense will have to carry the way.
MELCOM C GALLAVER 33 KOCHaree
But for the Jayhawks, that may actually be a good thing
Returning to Kansas is senior left fielder Connor McKay, who popped nine home runs over the wall to lead the team last year. As a team, the Jayhawks cranked just 23 bombs.

Following a three-point barrage in Kansas' victory against Texas Tech Tuesday night, the Jayhawks will host Baylor at home Saturday afternoon. The No. 8 Jayhawks come in two and a half games up in the Big 12.
The No. 16 Baylor Bears are coming off a tough loss to Oklahoma State in Waco, Texas. Baylor has won five of its previous seven games and come into the matchup with a 6-5 conference record.
Kansas escaped a nail-biter in Waco, Texas, a little more than a month ago, defeating Baylor 56-55. Junior Jamari Traylor led the way with 13 points on 6-7 shooting and two blocked shots. Sophomore Frank Mason III added 11 points of his own with five assists.
Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. has been on a tear as of late, averaging 16.3 points per game over his past four, shooting 19-25 from beyond the three-point line. Kansas leads the Big 12 in three-point percentage and threepointers made.
Taurean Prince leads the Bears in scoring at 12.6 points per game, while pulling down 5.5 rebounds. Rico Gathers leads the Big 12 with 12.6 rebounds per game, being the only player in the conference averaging double-digit rebounds. Gathers is averaging 16 boards in his past seven contests.
Kenny Chery had a strong outing last time against Kansas, scoring 25 points on 8-14 field goal shooting and 4-7 from three. Gathers pulled down 14 rebounds and recorded nine points.
Kansas has won four of its previous five matchups against Baylor and will look to increase its lead in the Big 12. Since the Jayhawks have not played West Virginia yet, they are in need of a victory against the Bears to help increase their Big 12 lead.
Kansas' Devonte' Graham tries to score past two OSU defenders during the first half. The Kansas Jayhawks traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to play against Oklahoma State University. The Jayhawks lost 67-62 against the Cowboys in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Feb. 7.
The Jayhawks are 12-0 at home this season and have a 21-game winning streak at home. Baylor and Kansas are two of six teams currently ranked in the Big 12, which is the most of any conference in the nation.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
The Big 12 will likely have the most NCAA tournament bids once again this season, with all six ranked teams getting in easily and quality
teams like Texas and Kansas State on the bubble. The Big 12 set a record last season for highest percentage
of teams in a conference earning tournament bids. Next up, the Jayhawks will travel to Morgantown,
W. V., to matchup with the No. 21-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers for the first time this season. Kansas split
the season series with the Mountaineers last season.

Bradley: The Jayhawks will begin the weekend by facing the Bradley Braves at noon on Friday, Feb 13. Bradley (1-4) is coming off of a largely unsuccessful stint in the Kajikawa Classic, which was played last week in Tempe, Ariz. The only victory for the Braves came
New Mexico: The land of enchantment, Walter White and, for this weekend, Kansas softball. The Jayhawks (5-0) will travel to Las Cruces, N.M., to face off against Bradley, Weber State and New Mexico State in the Troy Cox Classic.
in the series opener against Utah Valley, in which the Braves triumphed 7-1. Bradley spent the rest of the weekend suffering in a series of blowouts, scoring a combined four points against Pacific, Seattle, Stanford and North Carolina, while allowing an astounding 38 total points in those four losses.
Junior utility player Kendall Duffy, who leads the Braves in nearly every offensive category this season, leads Bradley. Duffy boasts a .500 batting average, has seven hits and three RBIs. Those statistics rank far better than any of Duffy's teammates.
Much like the beginning
of the Florida Atlantic Tournament last Friday, this should be a fairly easy win for the Jawhaws.
New Mexico State: The Jayhawks will begin the first of two matchups with New Mexico State at 5 p.m. Friday. The second match against the Aggies is at 5 p.m. Saturday. New Mexico State (3-2) is coming off of an impressive weekend in the Hotel Encanto Invitational, in which they defeated Montana, No. 18 Nebraska and Colorado State, while narrowly losing to Texas Tech by a score of 3-5 and losing by one point to Texas-San Antonio.
The most notable
performance of New Mexico State's young season came when they upset 18thranked Nebraska by a score of 16-11. The Aggies became the first team to ever score 16 runs against Nebraska. The Aggies hit five home runs and recorded 20 total hits while coming back from two different deficits in the game.
Sophomore infielder Haley Nakamura, who has a .500 batting average, has scored seven runs and has recorded six hits, statistically leads the Aggies. Senior outfielder Staci Rodriguez is also one of the leaders of the Aggies, with a .438 batting average, seven hits and eight RBIs.
Weber State: The Jayhawks
will also play the Weber State Wildcats twice this weekend. Kansas will first play against Weber State at noon Saturday and will close out the weekend against the Wildcats at 10 a.m. Sunday. The Jayhawks will be among the first teams to face the Wildcats, as they will begin their 2015 season on Friday.
Junior infielder Alyson Kulp is one of the statistical leading returners for the Wildcats. In 2014, Kulp was named to the All-Big Sky Conference Second Team with a .306 batting average, 48 hits and 29 runs.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I thought I was gonna be tall when I was in the second grade. I was like, I'm going to the NBA. But I stopped growing when I was about 9. When I was around 14, it hit me! Guess this is gonna be it."
-Kevin Hart Esquire
FACT OF THE DAY
In 2008 and 2009, wide receiver Terrell Owens was the celebrity MVP with 18- and 17-point performances, including a dunk.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
O. Which two current NBA players were the two coaches of the Celebrity game in 2012?
A: Thunder guard Russell Westbrook and forward Kevin Durant
THE MORNING BREW
Little League star Mo'ne Davis makes NBA celebrity game debut
NBA.com
A after exploding into the sports world, Little League stud Mo'ne Davis looks to
be the best option to dethrone comedian Kevin Hart in the Celebrity All-Star Game this weekend.
Hart has won three MVP awards now, including last year's, which was most certainly undeserving. Hart had seven points and over-dribbled the basketball at the top of the key for the majority of the game. But I suppose that was funny, so the fans voted him MVP.
Davis was already named a captain on her high school's varsity basketball team at age 13. At 5 feet 4 inches tall, she will perfectly rival Hart in what will be one of the more interesting matchups of the game.
Sean Collins
@seanzie_3
Actor and musician Nick Cannon will return to the game, as well as actors Ansel Elgort and Anthony
Anderson. WNBA players Skylar Diggins, Tina Charles and Shoni Schimmel will also play. Although much of the game will be for entertainment and laughs, there will be a serious note in that Isaiah Austin will be one team's assistant coach. The NBA drafted Austin in 2014 after he announced he would no longer be able to continue his career
in basketball after he was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome.
New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony and film director Spike Lee will be coaching against ESPN radio hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic.
However, Anthony isn't the only NBA star Davis has met in the past week. ESPNgo.com reported Davis and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry met up before a Warriors game, where Curry asked for Davis' autograph. Recently, Davis has been all over the sports world since she became the first female pitcher to win a Little League World Series game.
Davis will have to put on quite the performance and gain the love of the fans in order to beat Hart for the MVP. As last year proved, it doesn't really matter how anyone does
because it's funny when Hart dances around and screams and pretends to cry. United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan put up 20 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, and Hart still won the MVP. Hart wasn't even on the winning team. Maybe Davis' popularity will give her a chance to obtain the award; otherwise, expect Hart to add a fourth trophy to his collection.
If Hart does take home the MVP trophy again, it will be interesting to see how his acceptance speech will go. In 2013, he accepted it while wearing deer antlers and intensely crying. Hart had five points and three assists that game. It's possible Davis could have Hart crying for other reasons come the celebrity game this weekend.

Tennis looks to build on success against Wichita State

Kansas tennis will head to Wichita Thursday to face instate opponent Wichita State.
The Jayhawks look to extend a run of solid play and increase their winning streak to three matches after a winning weekend in Las Vegas, where they improved their record to 2-3.
Kansas will have its work cut out for it, as Wichita State sports a 7-1 record and is ranked 40th in Division I women's tennis, according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The Shockers are led by junior Aleksandra Trifunovic and senior Lucia Kovalova, who each earned a Missouri Valley Conference player of the week award over the past two weeks.
Trifunovic is undefeated on the season in singles play and boasts a doubles record of
5-1. Kovalova also sports an impressive 7-1 record in singles play and is a respectable 3-3 in doubles.
The Jayhawks counter with two upperclassmen of their own. Senior Maria Belen Ludueña and junior Maria Jose Cardona both had strong showings in Las Vegas. Ludueña was 5-0 on the weekend, while Cardona was 3-1.
Kansas dropped its first match to UNLV 4-3 over the weekend, but rebounded nicely dominating in back-to-back wins against New Mexico State 4-0 and Pacific 6-1. The midweek matchup with Wichita State will test the young Jayhawks, who are looking to build momentum as they prepare for conference play in March.
The series between the two teams has been heavily lopsided in Kansas' favor through the years as the Jayhawks hold a 15-5 record against the Shockers, though
Kansas lost the last matchup 4-3 a season ago in Lawrence.
Ludueña and Cardona picked up a doubles win in last year's matchup and Ludueña added a singles win
as well.
RANGERS
as well.
The matches are scheduled to start Feb. 12 at 5 p.m. at the Wichita Country Club.

AT A GLANCE
Coach Bill Self said Kansas can't win every game by hitting three-pointers after the Texas Tech game, where the Jayhawks were 11-for-20 from downtown. The flow of the offense has pointed in the direction to more three-pointers. In the past three games, Kansas is averaging 10 three-pointers per contest. After the Texas Tech win, Kansas holds a two-game lead in the Big 12.
BAYLOR
BEARS
KANSAS VS. BAYLOR FEB. 14 | 12 P.M. | ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
Can the Kansas frontcourt stop Rico Gathers?
PLAYER TO WATCH
Greene has been the best three-point shooter on the Kansas team and in the Big 12. Greene has shot 70 percent from three in the past seven games. The only aspect of Greene's game that keeps him off the court is his defense. Greene can't guard a barstool.
BASKETBALL GAMEDAY
The 6-foot-8, 280-pound Gathers is a big body in the paint and hard to keep off the glass. Gathers averages 11 points and 12 rebounds, leading the Big 12. He had 14 rebounds the last time Kansas and Baylor played, and Gathers has 13 double-doubles this season. Freshman Cliff Alexander will have the pleasure of guarding Gathers, but the whole Kansas frontcourt will need a collective effort to keep Gathers from getting his 14th double-double.
Brannen Greene, sophomore, guard
张小平
QUESTION MARK
40
BY THE NUMBERS
Kansas can blow out Baylor in the second half. The Jayhawks have been a team of two halves this season, and when the second half starts, no one knows which Kansas team will show up. In two of the past four games, Kansas was outscooped in the second half. But the last time Kansas played Baylor, the Jayhawks outscooped the Bears.
Kansas leads the Big 12 in three-pointers, shooting 40 percent this season.

Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard The sophomore guard has turned into a three-point threat the past four games, shooting 64 percent from behind the arc. The increase in three-point attempts has increased Selden's scoring as well, averaging 16 points over the past four games. Selden has changed his scoring mentality from a rim attack to a spot-up shooter.
★★★★☆
PETER HELMINGTON
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard
The Kansas floor general set the tone of the game by preserving the ball and not turning it over. The sophomore has eight or more assists in two of the past three games and the game in which he didn't have eight assists, Kansas lost to Oklahoma State. Mason is currently on a 20-game double-figure-scoring streak. But Mason's scoring doesn't help the Kansas offense — it's his ball distribution.
★★★☆
Jonathan Gough
Kelly Dubre Jr., freshman, guard
No.16 BAYLOR
Oubre is the only player on Kansas with true NBA potential, but he hasn't played well recently. The freshman hasn’t played more than 20 minutes in the past two games, and he's also scored double figures in one of his past six contests. Oubre is still effective on the defensive end, where he exceeds with his long wingspan and lateral quickness. Oubre averages about one steal per game.
★★★★☆
M. MALHAMS
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
The lone junior in the starting lineup is the leading scoreer and rebounder for Kansas. Ellis has scored in double figures in seven of the past eight games. Against Texas Tech, Ellis was one rebound away from recording his seventh double-double of the season. But since Jan. 17, when the Jayhawks lost in Ames, Iowa, Ellis has become more aggressive.
A. M. BOLIVAR
★★★★☆
Cliff Alexander, freshman, forward
The freshman started his second game of the season Tuesday against Texas Tech. Alexander struggled early in the game and turned the ball over on two consecutive possessions, but coach Bill Self never took him out. The reason: Alexander is one of the best rim protectors on the team, blocking four shots against Texas Tech. His ability to cause problems for the opposing frontcourt will earn Alexander another start against Baylor

Kenny Chery, senior, guard
The 5-foot-11 senior guard has played the fifth most minutes in the Big 12 and averages 11.6 points per game. He is near the top of the charts in steals and assists, but he often turns the ball over, averaging 2.8 turnovers per game. Chey does shoot 38.4 percent from three, making four three-point baskets against Kansas earlier this year in Waco, Texas.

At 5-foot-10, Medford rounds out a Baylor backcourt that is small, but quick. Medford is a reason why Baylor ranks second in the Big 12 in assists per game (15.08), disingout on 3.71 per game. Offensively, he can be hit or miss. Against Kansas, he scored eight points, but had no assists.

At 6-foot-9, Johnathan Motley looks the part of your typical Scott Drew, rangy athlete. He also blocks like your typical Scott Drew player, averaging the Big 12's fourth-most (1.67). The freshman scores well (8.8 per game) and averages a little over four rebounds per game. Motley was held to just two points on 1-of-5 shooting in the last match with the jawhaws, but blocked three shots.
★★★☆☆

Rico Gathers, junior, forward
Broad-shouldered and chiseled like a titan out of Greek mythology, Rico Gathers is the best rebounder in the Big 12 and one of the best in America. He's just 6-foot-8, but 280 pounds. Gathers brings down close to 12 rebounds per game,
sometimes giving the Bears second-, third- and fourth-
chance attempts. Against Kansas, Gathers scored nine points
and beaten in 14 rebounds.
★★★★
P
Royce O'Neale, senior, forward
O'Neale teams with Gathers down low to give the Bears a menacing front court. O'Neale chips in 10 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game out of the post — the sixth best assist-to-turnover ratio in the Big 12. Last time against the Jayhawks, O'Neale scored just three points, but dished
★★★☆☆
BAYLOR TIPOFF
DAN HARMESEN
@UDK_Dan
AT A GLANCE
In six losses this season, Baylor's largest margin of defeat has been 11 points. The Bears will keep it close by defending the three, shooting the three and getting boards. But having Scott Drew as your coach in late-game situations is not ideal, as evident in the last Jayhawks-Bears matchup, in which Baylor turned the ball over and failed to get a shot off at the buzzer.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Taurean Prince junior, forward
In just nine more minutes than last year, Prince has nearly doubled his offensive output. Points are up from 6.2 to 12.6, assists from 0.6 to 1.3 and blocks from 0.2 to 1. In his past five games off the bench, Prince averaged 14.2 points and 5.4 boards.
QUESTION MARK
Which wins out for Kansas:
shooting two or shooting
threes?
A trend has cropped up for the Jayhawks lately. They've been shooting an equal or higher percentage from three as two. Coach Bill Self said this is no consistent way to win and that feeding the ball in the post is the better way to go. Kansas faces a front-court that could give it some problems. Shoot more threes?
The Bears rank the second-best rebounding team in the Big 12 and the fifth best in the nation.
BY THE NUMBERS
41.2
13
Saturday, Rico Gathers will be working on his 13th double-double this season
28
Gathers set the Big 12 record for rebounds in one game against Huston-Tillotson on Jan. 21.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Kansas doesn't play fundamental basketball. Boxing out will be as important as ever Saturday as the Bears bring an imposing front court to Lawrence. The Jayhawks need strong and smart efforts out of players like Perry Ellis, Cliff Alexander, Jamari Traylor and Landen Lucas to keep Gathers and O'Neale somewhat corralled.
Prediction: Kansas 65, Baylor 61

Kansas starts season against LSU
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Baseball season returns this weekend as Kansas heads down to Baton Rouge, La., to face off in a three-game series against the No. 2 LSU Tigers.
the Jayhawks will open their 125th season of baseball at 7 p.m. Friday in front of an electrifying crowd at Alex Box Stadium in Louisiana. Following the opener, the Jayhawks will take the field again at 2 p.m. Saturday and then close out the series at 1 p.m. Sunday
Head-to-head
This will be the 10th meeting between the Jayhawks and the Tigers. Although the Tigers have won six national championships since the teams' first meeting in 1990, the Jayhawks hold a 5-4 lead in the series.
In the most recent meeting in 2010, Kansas visited Baton Rouge to face a top-ranked LSU squad. The Jayhawks were not fazed by the No.1 ranking and took the first
game 11-9, which broke an 18-game home winning streak at Alex Box Stadium. After losing the second game 2-4, the Jayhawks rallied to take down the Goliath 8-4 to win the series.
"I jokingly tell people I think I got a five-year ban after we went down there and won the series when they were No. 1 in the country," coach Ritch Price said about the previous meeting.
Price and his squad look to repeat the success the previous meeting and hold on to the all-time series lead.
Kansas senior Drew Morovick will face off against LSU sophomore Jared Poche' in the series header Friday. Morovick will spearhead the weekend rotation after making 25 appearances with nine starts last year and earning a 10-4 record, tying the lead for most wins in the Big 12 in 2014. Poche' had a stellar freshman year in 2014, posting a 9-3 record and a 2.45 ERA, earning him Freshman All-American honors from multiple sources.
On the mound
On Saturday, junior college transfer Ben Krauth will take the mound for Kansas while freshman Alex Lange will start for LSU. This matchup will introduce both pitchers to Division 1 baseball. Krauth was a starting pitcher for Diablo Valley College in California where he recorded a 9-2 record while striking out 116 batters in 2014. LSU's Lange comes out of Lee's Summit, Mo., as the 2014 Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year and 2014 Perfect Game All-American.
Wrapping up the series Sunday is sophomore Sean Rackoski and LSU freshman Jake Godfrey. Rackoski only pitched in two games his freshman season but has been "lights out" so far this year, according to teammate Dakota Smith, impressing Price enough to earn the Sunday starter spot. Godfrey is another freshman for LSU who
earned a spot as a 2014 Perfect Game All-American. He was selected in the 21st round of the 2014 MLB Draft in June.
What to watch for
Expect to see an offensive series this weekend, as the NCAA will implement the transition to flat-seamed balls for the 2015 season.
Keep an eye on Kansas impact players Dakota Smith and Connor McKay as they take advantage of this change at the plate. Smith returns after hitting an impressive .337 batting average in 2014 while McKay looks to out-do his team-high nine home runs from last season.
Also look out for LSU stars Alex Bergman at shortstop and Andrew Stevenson at center field. Both have received multiple pre-season All-America honors for this year and are impact players on both offense and defense.

Jayhawk golfers look to continue their success
NICK COUZIN
@Ncouz
The men's golf team will start its spring season Saturday in Phoenix when they play in the Alumni Match. The Jayhawks are a young team with only one golfer, junior Ben Welle, having competed in Big 12 play.
"It's all about keeping the players hydrated and off their feet," coach Jamie Bermel said about opening the season in the hotter climates and tougher courses of Arizona and California. "We played Crooked Stick in the fall, which has hosted a couple majors in the PGA, so were up for the task."
Big 12 golfing is as tough as other sports in the conference with four teams ranked in the top 25: Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Baylor.
Bermel said his team "plays to win. And in golf, anything can happen" when it comes to competing with the best in the conference.
"It's golf; you don't know who will play well," Welle said.
Welle was named Big 12 Golfer of the Month in November. The last Jayhawk golfer to win Big 12 Golfer of the Month was Nate Barbee in October 2010.
Welle finished 16th at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic on Nov. 9. He started the tournament with five
birdies on the first day, shooting a 68(-3). By finishing in the top 20 in the tournament. Welle helped his fellow Jayhawks get their fifth top-five finish in a total of six fall events. He also led the team in stroke average with 71.5 and finished the fall season with seven rounds under par.
"It's golf; you don't know who will play well."
Chase Hanna, a sophomore from Leawood, has also been a top performer for this Jayhawk squad. Over winter break, he built off his success from the fall season and played in an amateur tournament in Florida.
BEN WELLE Junior golfer
As far as grades go, the Jayhawk golfers have one of the highest average GPAs of all the Kansas athletics teams with a 3.4 average, and they hope to carry this statistic into future golf seasons.
The team added five new players for the upcoming 2016 season. The highlight of the recruiting class was landing No. 40-ranked Charlie Hillier of New Zealand.

Baseball 'rats' hungry for College World Series
1
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@kansanSports
Baseball coach Ritch Price answers a question at Baseball Media Day yesterday. Price refers to his players as "baseball rats," or players that live "for the game."
It's been more than 20 years since Kansas joined college baseball's elite in Omaha, Neb., but coach Ritch Price said he won't sleep until he gets his young team back there.
The big story of the day: The game in college baseball is changing. For the past three years, the NCAA mandated the addition of iron filings inside the laces of baseballs, which dramatically reduced how often balls left the yard.
"We had balls that were absolutely roasted," senior left fielder Connor McKay said. "They didn't end up being doubles, they ended up being outs."
McKay is considered the best power hitter on the team. Now, with the new bats and balls, he has hit nine homers this season, which is by far the most on the team.
But with an increased emphasis on offense all over the country, power hitters like McKay and new catcher Michael Tinsley are hopeful their offense will help the young Jayhawks dominate in the Big 12.
"All [Tinsley] does is hit," senior outfielder Dakota Smith said.
And hit is what the Jayhawks
must do. There are exactly zero returning weekend pitchers for Price's starting staff this year, and whoever comes out of the bullpen will be an "untested [arm]"
But with such a focus on offense and power, seniors McKay and Smith will be able to
give their young bullpen a little support. This is an offense that can demonstrate some serious pop, and all the players are confident of that.
"It's going to be a lot of fun to hit," said Smith, who hit .337 with two home runs and 43 RBIs as a junior last year.
But Smith was even more excited about his velocity jumping up than his home runs.
"It takes off," he said. "A lot of guys are jumping up in [velocity] a little bit ... it's going to be a lot of fun to throw."
And that's the culture of the team Price has spent his entire
A baseball rat is a player that "lives for the game," and "there's no place [he'd] rather be than go to the ballpark,"
Kansas career building: a team that has more fun on the diamond than anywhere else. A team of guys Price affectionately calls "baseball rats."
according to Price, a self-proclaimed "baseball rat."
Price recruited that type of player — he trained that type of player — and he seems to have found a group of guys in the clubhouse that he's chomping at the bit to take to the top.
"professionalism" was the key word for Price, who prides himself on coaching the most professional teams in the country. He even made a little Royals comparison when he talked about his team's professional attitude in the clubhouse and on the field.
As players, hearing your coach compare your professionalism to an actual professional team is the highest of praises, and Price's players have clearly bought into his system. They're just as excited to get to Louisiana as their coach is.
"I've been waiting for it since the schedule came out," said senior infielder Justin Protocio. "It's surreal. I don't know if I'm going to sleep tonight."
To have a manager that sells an attitude of professionalism and baseball "ratitude" is one thing, but to see a group of players buy into that dream is quite another.

Jayhawks look to snap two-game losing streak
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Kansas returns home on Saturday against Texas (15-8, 4-8) after a tough loss on the road Tuesday being defeated by West Virginia 59-56.
The Longhorns, the preseason favorite to upend Baylor at the top of the Big 12, has had a rough season sitting in a tie for eighth in the conference with a 4-8 record with Kansas. Senior forward Nneka Enemkpali has been lost for the season due to a season-ending knee injury. Enemkpali was injured in their first matchup with Baylor, where the tumbling began for Texas losing 75-58. In 17 games played this season Enemkpali was averaging a double-double of 12.4 points per game and 10.4 rebounds.
Texas has lost four of their last five games, with their last win coming on Jan. 29 at home against Oklahoma, 84-81 in double overtime.
Texas is coming off a loss on the road to Oklahoma State. 66-60.
All eight of Texas's losses have come during conference play, with two each coming from Iowa State and Baylor.
Even though Texas is still receiving votes in this week's
AP poll, the Longhorns have defeated the Jayhawks once already this season. On Jan. 3, to open the Big 12 season, the Jayhawks traveled to Austin to play the Longhorns, giving a good test against the undefeated and No.3 team in the nation at the time, falling 60-46.
Leading the Longhorns after they lost their leading scorer Enemkpali is sophomore center Kelsey Lang, who is averaging 11.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Behind Lang in scoring is freshman guard Ariel Atkins, who averages 10.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest.
Kansas is led in scoring by the trio of three seniors forward Chelsea Gardner and guards Natalie Knight and Asia Boyd. Gardner averages 16.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest, Knight averages 12 points per game and Boyd now averages 10.2 points per game after her 18-point game against West Virginia.
Kansas stands in a tie for eighth with the Longhorns in the conference sitting a half game back of sixth place and a game and a half out of fifth place West Virginia. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. from Allen Fieldhouse.

For the first time in 2015, the Kansas track and field team will split into separate groups this weekend. One team will travel up to Ames, Iowa, to compete in the ISU Classic. The other team will go down to Fayetteville, Ark., and take part in the Tyson
Invitational.
The teams will be divided based on the competition level other colleges in each meet. Coach Stanley Redwine said Kansas will be sending more distance runners to
The Tyson Invitational is hosted by Arkansas, the No. 3 team in the country, while the ISU Classic is hosted by Iowa State.
the ISU Classic, and sending more sprinters to Arkansas.
"We want to give our athletes the best opportunity to qualify for the NCAA [Championships]"; Redwine said.
Redwine said as the season goes on, the meet competition gets tougher in preparation for the Big 12 and NCAA Championships.
"We try to prepare the individual rather than just saying this is a blanket approach for the athletes," Redwine said. "Some individuals need different things to complete their race. We do those things that they need individually, to make sure that they're going to be ready on competition day."
Both the ISU Classic and
Tyson Invitational will begin Friday and end Saturday.
For the ISU Classic, the events kick off with both the men's and women's weight throw at 11 a.m. on Friday. The first track event will be the 60 meter sprint prelim at noon Friday and ends with 5,000 meter run. Saturday begins at 9:30 with the 3,000 meter run and ends with the
4x400 meter relay from 4:05 p.m. to 5:05 p.m.
The Tyson Invitational will start with the mile run and 1 p.m. Friday, and will conclude with the 60 meter dash. Saturday events include the 4x400 relay.

"We have to be working together, because a lot of times social justice organizations are working towards the same goal, but with their own means," Noriega said. "I don't want anyone to feel left out of what we're doing, so I work with other people and try to bring them into our community."
Noriega said she was raised to believe everyone was equal. In her Queens, New York, home, she watched her father do the laundry
"I think I had a hole in my clothes, so her mom took it and was going to fix it and I was like 'Oh, my dad does that!' and they were like 'What? Your father can't do that, that's women's work,'" she said.
Noriega said being raised in an egalitarian family motivates her to change the perception of gender norms here in Kansas.

Equality Kansas Chairwoman Sandra Meade drew comparisons to past instances of discrimination in American history to criticize Brownback's policy in front of the crowd.
"This Executive Order ensures that state employees enjoy the same civil rights as all Kansans without creating additional 'protected classes' as the previous order did. Any such expansion of 'protected classes' should be done by the legislature and not through unilateral action," Brownback said in a statement last Tuesday.
Carmichael expressed his support for the demonstrator's cause and informed them of his plans to advocate for the LGBT community in the legislature through his sponsorship of House Bill 2323, which aims to reinstate the protected classes.

They're not high school sweethearts, but they're not a college couple either.
Sophomores Cameron Arnold and Hannah Wilson, both of Topeka, started dating during the summer before their freshman year.
"We met in Topeka at a Hookah House," Arnold said.
Arnold got Wilson's number from a mutual friend and invited her and several others to go out. He then canceled on everyone except Wilson at the last minute.
The two of them went to a movie and to eat at Red Robin afterward.
The traditional dinner and a movie is now a staple in their lives.
"We generally do dinner and watch Netflix," Wilson said.
The two have seen several movies together, such as "Vanilla Sky," "Hercules," "Olympus Has Fallen," "Ice Man" and "Gravity."
They aren't tied to just taking in movies; they have their regular television shows as well. They watch "The Walking Dead," "Game of Thrones," "New Girl" and "Viking."
The couple is holding true to tradition for Valentine's Day. The two are going out to dinner, going bowling and then going to watch Netflix to celebrate the holiday.
A YEAR AND A HALF When Arnold and Wilson moved to Lawrence, they
ended up on opposite ends of campus. Arnold lived in Templin, while Wilson lived in GSP.
Wilson's time in GSP was short-lived, as she had a falling out with her roommate and ended up moving to Templin after winter break.
Just a few weeks before Wilson moved to Templin, the two had their first Christmas together.
Arnold said that Christmas was one of his favorite memories of Wilson. He gave her a pearl necklace and she teared up.
"It was also the first time we had said we loved each
other, so there was lots of crying." Arnold said.
Wilson spoke of one of her favorite memories with Arnold like it happened yesterday.
"I had a bad day and was wearing a scrub outfit, laundry day clothes," Wilson said. "I leaned back and Cameron was looking at me, like looking at me, and he said 'Hannah, you are the most beautiful girl in the world'."
Yes, the couple has had their learning curves, but overall, the two have loved every moment they've spent together.

EXPECTATIONS FOR THE HOLIDAY TOO ELEVATED
CECILIA CHO
@ceciliacho92
OR the past few weeks, we've all been bom- harred with adver-
we've all been bombarded with advertisements about Valentine's Day, and every year I feel the exact same way. I don't like Valentine's Day. No, it's not because I'm single and bitter—I just honestly don't care. I see this "holiday" as an excuse to openly boast about people's love for one another through means
of candy, jewelry, flowers,
etc. Valentine's Day has
turned into just another
money-making holiday and
all meaning of what the day
is truly meant for has been
lost.
I've been in a relationship for almost six and a half years now and I currently live with my boyfriend as well. For the first few years we did the whole Valentine's Day thing because, well, I was a high school girl who expected these things, just
as many other high school students do. When we first started dating, we were all about celebrating the three and six month anniversaries, and we also made sure to spend exorbitant amounts of money on Valentine's Day, Christmas and birthdays. I was stuck with the mindset that money equates to how much you care about someone, and if I received something cheap that meant he didn't really like me that much, right?
This year, the National Retail Foundation (NRF) expects Americans to spend up to $18.9 billion on Valentine's Day alone, with men spending "nearly double what women plan to spend ($190.53 versus $96.58 on average..)" It is obvious that this is a holiday geared toward treating women as more than their male counterparts. We expect men to do all the planning for Valentine's Day, and if they don't have anything
magnificent planned, they're inconsiderate jerks — at least that's what some people will think. We place all the blame on men for not planning a romantic evening for this day, yet we are more than capable of planning the evening ourselves.
I get fed up with people who complain about their Valentine's Day plans/gifts, as if the fact that they have someone who loves them just isn't enough. This is a day that should be spent
realizing why you love the man or woman you're with, not a day that is spent comparing gifts you received with your friends.
I'm incredibly lucky for the individual in my life and I don't need a special day to remind me of that. While some will be spending this holiday at a romantic candle-lit dinner, we'll be spending this day like any other: with a six-pack of beer and Netflix.
SEVEN THINGS FOR SINGLES TO DO ON VALENTINE'S DAY
AMIE JUST
@Amie.Just
SINGLE and not sure what to do on Valentine's Day? Just because you're not in a relationship doesn't mean you can't have fun. Here are five things that you can do.
1. CATCH A GAME
Both men's and women's basketball teams play at home on Valentine's Day. The men play Baylor at noon, and the women play the University of Texas at 7 p.m.
2. HIT THE THEATER
your type of thing, Liberty Hall is screening "The Princess Bride"
The movies aren't just restricted to couples. There are several films playing on Valentine's Day to see. The most highly anticipated movie that comes out on Valentine's Day is "Fifty Shades of Grey." If that's not
3. THROW A PARTY

KU STUDENTS TURN TO SOCIAL MEDIA FOR RELATIONSHIPS
KWANG HYUN
@Chwangwiti
These days, many students find it easiest to talk to their crushes through social media. Whether messaging them on Facebook or "sliding into their DMs" on Twitter, communicating through social media has become a common precursor to an actual date.
Jordan Cook, a freshman from Austin, Texas, had an experience meeting someone through social media before.
"Originally, I was going to go to Arizona State and it so happened that a girl from Austin, Texas, was also going to Arizona State as well," Cook said. "So she messaged me and we hit it up from there."
Cook said the date was like an actual date. He said he was glad that the person was actually normal.
It seems like it's more reasonable to meet an actual person who you are interested in through social media. As the years pass by, people have become more open to the idea of online dating.
1 met my boyfriend through Twitter," said Danielle Latza, a sophomore from Lindenhurst, Ill. Latza said they began to develop a serious relationship after her boyfriend asked her to
hang out on Twitter.
"I definitely do think Twitter played the biggest factor in our relationship," Latza said.
Datingsitesreviews.com shows that six out of 10 Americans use social networking services.
"I definitely do think Twitter played the biggest factor in our relationship"
DANIELLE LATZA Sophomore fromLDenhurst. hind
According to the website, 33 percent of couples today have met online, and the number is expected to increase to 70 percent by 2040. The statistics show that the success rate of dating someone online is increasing.
Liz Marsh, a senior from Chanute, had an experience dating someone through social media before.
"I think people can match better through social media because you can see what they are like, such as interests and hobbies before you actually meet them," said Marsh. "It's definitely becoming a social trend and I think it's going to be like this more in the future."

Best date: 'It was very simple. We went to the movies; saw a great move, then went out to eat somewhere cheap, not expensive like Chipote. We went back to my house and just talked for a little bit.

When Chrissie Noriega joined Queers and Allies last year, she was already contemplating a name change for the campus LGBT group. To her, it was limiting. Not every transgender person is gay. She knew the name would keep some people, including other on-campus groups, away.

"The word queer was seen as divisive, and some people didn't take that on as an identity," Noriega said.
At her urging, the group renamed itself Spectrum and is working to engage a wider audience that truly lives up to the name. In the past year, the group has led discussions about LGBT Muslims and violence in
"We have to be working together, because a lot of times social justice organizations are working towards the same goal, but with their own means," Noriega said. "I don't want anyone to feel left out of what we're doing, so I work with other people and try to bring them into our community."
LGBT communities and hosted a viewing of the film "Pariah" with the Black Student Union. It also encourages attendance for other organizations' activities, such as The Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity's Trans+ Remembrance Day Candlelight Vigil.
Noriega said she was raised to believe everyone was equal. In her Queens, New York, home, she watched her father do the laundry
"I think I had a hole in my clothes, so her mom took it and was going to fix it and I was like 'Oh, my dad does that!' and they were like 'What? Your father can't do that, that's women's work.'" she said.
Noriega said being raised in an egalitarian family motivates her to change the perception of gender norms here in Kansas.
"I'm a feminist and an activist, a lesbian [and a] social justice advocate," she said.

The Valentine's Day rally was organized in response to an executive order Brownback declared Feb. 10, which revoked workplace protections given to state employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. This makes it legal for state employees
"This Executive Order ensures that state employees enjoy the same civil rights as all Kansans without creating additional 'protected classes' as the previous order did. Any such expansion of 'protected classes' should be done by the legislature and not through unilateral action," Brownback said in a statement last Tuesday.

Carmichael expressed his support for the demonstrator's cause and informed them of his plans to advocate for the LGBT community in the legislature through his sponsorship of House Bill 2323, which aims to reinstate the protected classes.
Daisy Tackett, a University freshman from Jacksonville. Fla., said she attended the rally because she has friends who identify as LGBT.

Equality Kansas Chairwoman Sandra Meade drew comparisons to past instances of discrimination in American history to criticize Brownback's policy in front of the crowd.
"We heard about this protest and we all just wanted to come and support equality," Tackett said.

Jayhawks look to snap two-game losing streak
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Kansas returns home on Saturday against Texas (15-8, 4-8) after a tough loss on the road Tuesday being defeated by West Virginia 59-56.
The Longhorns, the preseason favorite to upend Baylor at the top of the Big 12, has had a rough season sitting in a tie for eighth in the conference with a 4-8 record with Kansas. Senior forward Nneka Enemkpali has been lost for the season due to a season-ending knee
AP poll, the Longhorns have defeated the Jayhawks once already this season. On Jan. 3, to open the Big 12 season, the Jayhawks traveled to Austin to play the Longhorns, giving a good test against the undefeated and No.3 team in the nation at the time, falling 60-46.
Leading the Longhorns after they lost their leading scorer Enemkpali is sophomore center Kelsey Lang, who is averaging 11.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Behind Lang in scoring is freshman guard Ariel Atkins, who

Love is a beautiful thing, but sometimes it's most magical when captured with extraordinary movies, when you get a special feeling just watching it. So if you're looking for the perfect film you and your partner will both love to snuggle up and watch together, or just by yourself, here are five sure to make your heart flutter.
AMÉLIE
One of the all-time greatest romantic comedies and one of the most purely delightful films ever made, this French dazzler is a surreal and visually flourishing tale of love and kindness in magnificent Paris. The mischievous and adorable Amelie (Audrey Tautou) makes her life about bringing happiness to the eccentric cast of characters around her, doing little things that mean the world to them. Along the way, she leaves clues for her secret love to track her down, and it all makes for an irresistibly charming love story.
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND This brilliant love story unfolds uniquely through memory with an engaging perspective and visual flair, moving from the bitter end of the relationship back to the touching beginning, cleverly and poignantly exploring the subconscious and destruction of one's past along the way. After breaking up, the bohemian Clementine (Kate Winslet) uses a service to have emotionally distant Joel (an impressively dramatic Jim Carrey) removed from her memory, which he then does with her. But as he relives the memories in his mind during their erasal, he tries to stop the process upon realizing he doesn't want to lose his love for her.
6 | KANSAN.COM
HER
In a not-too-distant future, the lonely Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) and his sentient operating system (Scarlett Johansson) fall in love, but rather than it seeming weird or pathetic, "Her" plays this romance between man and machine
software with sublime wonder. Writer/director Spike Jonze builds a fascinating, exceptionally developed world and visualizes it with crisp vibrancy. The film speaks multitudes about our growing relationship with technology and decreasing connection with other people, but also provides profound insight into love and human emotion.
BEGINNERS
(Christopher Plummer) comes out of the closet and embraces love with a younger man for the last few years of his life, which is told simultaneously as Oliver finds love with an enchanting French actress (Mélanie Laurent) after Hal's death.
This tender and personal romantic dramedy tells two very different love stories, both of them extremely heartfelt, uniquely illustrated with a captivating yet subtle amount of quirk, and following deep emotional connection after new beginnings. Oliver's (Ewan McGregor) 75-year-old father Hal
THE SPECTACULAR NOW High school romance has never felt so honest, raw and intensely relatable as in "The Spectacular Now." The popular and excessive-partying senior Sutter (Miles Teller) lives life to the fullest in the present, with no plans for his future. Then he starts dating the shy and studious nice-girl Aimee (Shailene Woodley). As she falls in love with him he might just grow up, if he can open his heart before getting stuck on his current path to nowhere.

@lilygrant_UDK
Cary Strong and his wife Aimee opened Aimee's Coffeehouse, 1025A Massachusetts Street, when they were dating 16 years ago. After so many years of business, Strong has finally decided to fulfill his dream of implementing a dinner theater
into the coffeehouse. The project is still in the early stages of planning.
Strong is a member of the South Mass Art Guild, a local non-profit organization that promotes awareness of local art. He pitched the idea to the board, and they gave him their support.
Strong has been reaching out to other local art groups to
collaborate on the project.
Kansas City magician Korso the Curious has been performing at Aimee's for the past two weekends to test out the dinner theater idea and figure out how to arrange the seating to ensure that everyone has a good view.
Reid Zimmerman is a coproducer of the project and is working with Strong to make
the idea come to life.
"It's always great to have more artistic endeavors in the community, and I think the community as a whole takes a lot of inspiration from local art." Zimmerman said.
The coffeehouse seats about 30 people, so the atmosphere

"The hope is as we educate people we'll have more people coming forward, because if you're not clear, if you're not sure, then it's hard for students to know; not just students, anybody to know," Durham said. "So once we define it for people, they'll understand what sexual harassment is."
Last Tuesday, the Office of Student Affairs sent out an anonymous survey to students regarding sexual harassment and sexual assault. The purpose of the 21-question survey is to help create a safer campus, said Vice Provost of Student Affairs Tammara Durham. Durham said the Office of Student Affairs' overall goal has always been the safety of the students.
its kind to be sent out at the University. Student Affairs began working with the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access (IOA) in 2012 to create the first survey and has since sent one out every year.
According to McQueeny, the survey was written primarily out of the office of IOA, but several others had the opportunity to offer feedback on it, and IOA and Student Affairs hope to bring more in-depth surveys into classrooms in the future.
McQueeny said once the results have been tabulated, IOA will most likely release totals and summaries of the information. Individualized responses to several portions of the survey will not be released.
Jane McQueeny, IOA's executive director, said that last year IOA received 890 responses to the survey. McQueeny said that IOA hopes for at least 1,000 responses this year, but 2,000 would be even better.

Names for new Daisy Hill residence halls released
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
skylarrolstad@yahoo.com
The University's two new Daisy Hill residence halls will be named after donors Al and Lila Self and Charles W. Oswald, University officials announced Wednesday. The north building on Engel Road will be named Madison A. and Lila M. Self Hall and the south building will be named Charles W. Oswald Hall.
"The generosity of Al and Lila Self and Charley Oswald has truly changed the fabric of our university and enhanced the lives of countless students and faculty," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said, via a news release from the University. "It is only fitting that their generosity be remembered through buildings that will house future generations of Jayhawks."
The request to name the halls after the Selfs and Oswald originated with the chancellor, said Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, the University's director for news and media relations.
After the chancellor requested the halls be named after these donors, the Kansas Board of Regents approved of the decision.

Student works toward equal rights for students
ABBY WALSH abby_walsh@aol.com
When Chrissie Noriega joined Queers and Allies last year, she was already contemplating a name change for the campus LGBT group. To her, it was limiting. Not every transgender person is gay. She knew the name would keep some people, including other on-campus groups, away.
"The word queer was seen as divisive, and some people didn't take that on as an identity," Noriega said. At her urging, the group renamed itself Spectrum and is working to engage a wider audience that truly lives up to the name. In the past year, the group has led discussions about LGBT Muslims and violence in
LGBT communities and hosted a viewing of the film "Pariah" with the Black Student Union. It also encourages attendance for other organizations' activities, such as The Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity's Trans+ Remembrance Day Candlelight Vigil.
"We have to be working together, because a lot of times social justice organizations are working towards the same goal, but with their own means," Noriega said. "I don't want anyone to feel left out of what we're doing, so I work with other people and try to bring them into our community."
Noriega said she was raised to believe everyone was equal. In her Queens, New York, home, she watched her father do the laundry
"I think I had a hole in my clothes, so her mom took it and was going to fix it and I was like 'Oh, my dad does that!' and they were like 'What? Your father can't do that, that's women's work.'" she said.
and make lunches. He even taught her to sew. She didn't realize that was unusual until she had a conversation with her friend's mother in fourth grade.
Noriega said being raised in an egalitarian family motivates her to change the perception of gender norms here in Kansas.
"I'm a feminist and an activist, a lesbian [and a] social justice advocate," she said.

On Saturday, hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the south lawn of the Kansas Statehouse to protest Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's Executive Order 15-02. The rally was organized by
Wichita-based LGBT rights coalition Equality Kansas and featured state representative John Carmichael (D-Wichita) as a keynote speaker.
The Valentine's Day rally was organized in response to an executive order Brownback declared Feb. 10, which revoked workplace protections given to state employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. This makes it legal for state employees

to be discriminated against if they identify as LGBT. The order reverses protections that former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius put in place in August 2007.

Carmichael expressed his support for the demonstrator's cause and informed them of his plans to advocate for the LGBT community in the legislature through his sponsorship of House Bill 2323, which aims to reinstate the protected classes.

Daisy Tackett, a University freshman from Jacksonville. Fla., said she attended the rally because she has friends who identify as LGBT.
Catholics were banned from the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies. Catholic clergymen could be put to death in Massachusetts by law in 1647. Gov. Brownback, that's your adopted religion," Meade said.
Equality Kansas Chairwoman Sandra Meade drew comparisons to past instances of discrimination in American history to criticize Brownback's policy in front of the crowd.
"We heard about this protest and we all just wanted to come and support equality," Tackett said.

Students waiting for apology after tweet
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Though it's since been deleted, the Universityaffiliated account tweeted, "S/O to all those (mostly ladies, 1 might add) who are getting their road work in this am," around 11 a.m. Feb. 8.
After a controversial tweet by the Jayhawk Buddy System (@KUJBS) last Sunday, students arestill waiting for an official apology.
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student affairs, commented on the incident.
This was after students began firing back at the tweet. Among the many was Madeline Houlihan, a freshman from Seattle.
"I am responsible for the oversight of [the account]." DeSalvo said. "I have looked into the matter to which you referred and addressed it."
"They weren't willing to back down and were continuing to argue the whole time." Houlihan said. "The tweet was deleted, but I feel like it was deleted to cover themselves because people were offended by what they said and not deleted because they realized what they said was offensive."

"You're an account directly associated to the University and yet you find it okay to call out 'mostly ladies' in doing a walk of shame," Houlihan tweeted.
KUIBS responded, claiming the comment was making a reference to those motivated enough to be out exercising.
Lohlian said she believes whoever wrote the tweet should issue an apology and lose their job.

"She was dedicated and gregarious," Cota, a senior from Overland Park, said. "We wanted her on the exec board right away."
Cota said he is proud of Noreiga's perseverance. He said her recent work in planning a Spectrum Gaypril parade shows her dedication to the organization. Cota said even when obstacles arise, Noreiga goes above and beyond to make sure
Noriega now serves as the outreach chair for Spectrum. She makes sure the group is not just focused on LGBT issues, but issues that intersect with other communities on campus.
Spectrum is successful.
she's never taking some sort of obstacle hit her, and she finds a way to get around it on her own initiative," Cota said. "She'll come [to meetings] with two plans that we can choose from. She has dedication and preparatory skills that are not found in a lot of leaders."
"[I would like to do] work similar to what I do with my outreach position," Noriegas said. "Like event planning and doing programming in regards to creating discussions about how we can move forward and how we can talk about our identities in ways that are conducive for the conversations."
Noriega is majoring in women, gender and sexuality studies and hopes to pursue a career as a community organizer, event planner and outreach coordinator who promotes discussions on inclusivity and the LGBT community.

University undergoes accreditation renewal process
LANE COFAS
@alleynahC
A team comprised of representatives, faculty and administrative personnel from universities in the same region visited the University from Feb. 9-11 to review its written executive summary in hopes of the University renewing it's accreditation.
Accreditation is a process that occurs every 10 years at a participating university where a steering committee, appointed by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), visits the school and reviews its written self-study to further confirm that the University is following through with what it claims to have done in the
summary.
This self-study is a 200page document, written by a team of individuals from the Office of Public Affairs and the Office of Institutional Research and Planning at the University. The document explains how it reaches all five of the criteria and the respective components that are a part of the accreditation process, created by the steering committee. The five criteria include mission; integrity; quality, resources and support; evaluation and improvement; and resources planning and institutional effectiveness.
written by the University.
After reviewing the criteria, the committee writes a report in response to the executive summary
Dr. Craig Schnell is a professor of pharmaceutical science at North Dakota State University and was a chair member for the University's steering committee.
"What we're doing is we are validating the self-study," Schnell said. "We're here to check up and make sure it represents what the institution says."
The individuals who make up the steering committee are chosen based on schedule availability and what kind of members are needed to comprise a whole team and its hierarchy.
committee is appointed which is comprised of administrators, staff and student representatives along with representatives from the Lawrence, Edwards and KUMC campuses. This committee is the group of people visiting a school. Under this committee are four subcommittees comprised of approximately 20 members each.
According to the University's 2015 HLC Accreditation webpage, a steering
Schnell said accreditation benefits not only the University, but it's students, as well.
Attending an accredited university is important for current and potential students. Susan Twombly, steering committee chairperson, said an accredited university means
students are able to receive loans, apply for federal grants and transfer in credits from other schools if they are also accredited.
"Being accredited means a lot for the University," Twombly said. "So in order to receive Title IV, which enables you to get a student loan, the University has to be accredited."
According to the University's website, the accreditation process is as follows: A self-study report is prepared by the University, along with a federal compliance report. There is later an offer for third parties to contribute their thoughts and ideas to the study, and a survey put out for students to participate.
utter these steps, there is a two-and-a-half day visit for a team to visit the University. The team will then write up a report to correct any potential errors that do not line up with what is happening at the University, followed by a final decision by the HLC.
The University has been accredited since Jan. 1, 1913, according to the University's executive summary.
The HLC is one of six nation-wide accreditation organizations. It serves the North-Central region of the country, which includes 19 states. Becoming accredited is optional for any university in the country.
Kansas lawmakers move to protect $280 million for roads

Democratic state Rep. Barbara Ballard, left, of Lawrence, consults Democratic Rep. Jerry Henry, right, of Atchison during a meeting of the House Appropriations Committee on budget-balancing proposals Thursday. Jan. 29 at the Statehouse in Topeka. Democrats are concerned about a proposal to delay $20 million in aid payments to public schools for four months.
NICHOLAS CLAYTON Associated Press
JOHN HANNA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A House panel has proposed scaling back the governor's plan to strip $724 million from transportation projects, arguing that such a large cut would delay road repairs and drain a budget too often tapped to help fill gaps in other state spending.
The House Transportation Budget Committee unanimously approved an amendment Thursday that would allow about $444 million to be transferred out of the state's infrastructure budget during fiscal years 2016 and 2017. That's about $280 million less than what Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed.
Kansas transportation officials have said Brownback's plan would cause delays in
resurfacing and maintenance projects.
Republican Rep. Russell Jennings of Lakin said he proposed the budget amendment for two reasons because the state has too often diverted money from infrastructure funding, and that doing so is dishonest to taxpayers because transportation funding mostly comes from taxes specifically approved for road projects or other infrastructure needs.
"If we're taxing for a specific purpose like fuel taxes, or sales tax for highways, then that's where it should be used," he said. "The second is if we don't have enough revenues to support the things that are set as priorities, then we need to take a look at the revenue."
Democratic Rep. Annie Tietze of Topeka added that
infrastructure spending was vital to the state's economy, saying "businesses will want to move here if our highways are high quality. You just can't put off maintenance."
But the panel's chairman, Republican Rep. J. R. Claeys of Salina, said the recommendation was primarily designed to generate discussion in the House Appropriations Committee, which is taking recommendations from various House committees while working on the chamber's version of a state budget proposal.
Claeys said the Appropriations Committee would have to make cuts to other government agencies, notably education, if it were to accept the recommendation.
"I think we jeapordize education funding when we
do things like this and the dollars have to come from somewhere," Claeys said. "The governor's recommendation
protects higher education and K-12 education in the state of Kansas, this maneuver does not."
The amendment will be reviewed Tuesday by the House Appropriations Committee.

Ignoring climate change fails the poor
Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
Despite myriad studies confirming the existence of climate change and its man-made causes, some still believe climate change does not exist or that mitigation policies strive to harm the economy and American people. Opponents of climate action fail to mention the consequences for certain populations, specifically Americans who live in poverty.
Global warming is not only an environmental issue, but also an issue poised to deepen existing social inequality. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate change is set to increase food prices due to
crop loss, increase vectorborne diseases, and require homeowners to retrofit houses due to extreme weather events. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 45.3 million Americans are living in poverty, meaning 14.5 percent of citizens lack the resources to adapt to a changing climate. Legislators who fail to pass or support climate change action fail to protect our nation's most at-risk population.
With indisputable agreements among climatologists, conservatives' resistance to act on climate change has become irresponsible. When President Barack Obama announced his Climate Action Plan in the summer of 2013, it was met with disdain from the GOP and labeled as a job-killer. When President Obama
announced a climate agreement between China and the U.S. in November, and another between India and the U.S.just this month, conservatives lambasted the president and Democrats for leading a crusade against energy producers and American consumers.
When we remove the politics of energy from this discussion, we are left with a few simple facts.
According to the UN's IPCC, the window for decreasing carbon emissions is quickly closing.
The earth will increase in temperature and as a result, living conditions will worsen, and people of a lower socioeconomic status will disproportionately bear the brunt of climate change.
Legislators who continually deny climate
"LEGISLATORS WHO FAIL TO PASS OR SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION FAIL TO PROTECT OUR NATION'S MOST AT-RISK POPULATIONS."
change send a clear signal to the American public that their allegiance lies with energy producers and not those they were elected to represent.
Oltimate change denial is not a message of support for the American people and economy,rather it is negligence shrouded in sound bites.
We cannot afford to deepen social inequality by allowing 14.5 percent of our population to suffer due to climate change. It is time that all decisionmakers, regardless of their
party, put the ideology aside and start supporting the president's climate actions by matching it with equally strong legislation. We are only as strong as our hungriest family and most in-need citizen, and we must act to mitigate social inequality by first acting on climate change.

Measles vaccinations should not be debated
Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
Ever since the Disneyland measles outbreak, arguments against vaccines have been brought to the forefront. Some say vaccines are not necessary because people aren't at risk for major illnesses. Others say vaccines have harmful side effects or complications, thus overwhelming the immune system or causing autism in children. Although widely debated, residents of Lawrence need to vaccinate themselves and
prevented if people had been properly vaccinated.
As The New York Times reported, the best way to prevent a measles outbreak is by the herd effect. The logic is that the disease is less likely to spread if more people are immunized, and thus create a herd immunity that protects the entire community.
All children are recommended to get two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, and students at post-high school educational institutions need to get the vaccine if they don't have evidence of immunity, according to the CDC. It is through the widespread use of the MMR vaccine that measles cases in the U.S. have declined
"THE LOGIC IS THAT THE DISEASE IS LESS LIKELY TO SPREAD IF MORE PEOPLE ARE IMMUNIZED, AND THUS CREATE A HERD IMMUNITY THAT. PROTECTS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY."
their children in case of a potential measles outbreak in Kansas. People who choose against vaccination put the public at risk.
Back in December, at least 40 people contracted measles at a Disneyland in California, the New York Times reported. Since then, the outbreak has spread to seven states, affecting 114 people, according to a report from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those cases could have been
Although some people continue to argue against vaccinations, science shows otherwise. A common misconception against the vaccine, according to NBC News, is that more people die from the vaccine than the actual disease. However, only 329 deaths linked to the MMR vaccine occurred in the U.S. since
by more than 99 percent since the pre-vaccine era, to a point of elimination, according to the CDC.
1990, the National Vaccine Information Center reported, while preventing 15.6 million deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
Another major argument against vaccinations is that receiving the vaccine can cause autism in children. This immunization myth has been tested for years and has been repeatedly debunked by studies showing no association between vaccines and autism, according to the CDC. Signs of autism start showing around the recommended time children get their vaccine, CDC reported, and this overlap can mislead parents to think that the vaccine is causing the autism spectrum disorder, when it does not. Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children based on these misconception are putting their children and the community at risk.
At the University of Kansas, students are required to have two doses of the MMR vaccine in order to prevent the spread of the disease on campus. The rest of Lawrence should be required to be vaccinated as well.
A measles outbreak can be easily prevented, and that is why everyone needs to be vaccinated.
It has been proven time and time again that vaccinations do more good than bad. To avoid the measles outbreak from entering our state, everyone needs to receive the MMR vaccine.

ASK ANISSA
ASK KANSAN SPECIAL ANISSA
So about a year ago my girlfriend cheated on me and told a lot of lies. I decided to give her another chance and so far we haven't had any issues that I know of. But no matter what I do, I can't seem to fully trust her. What should I do?
should I do?
Anissa Fritz @anissafritz
Even though this is a relationship question, the answer is all about you. Being cheated on is one of the worst feelings — trust me I know. You feel betrayed and hurt. In most relationships, your significant other is your best friend. The question "How could my best friend do that to me?" rings in your head and alternates with the thought: "I wasn't good enough."
"THE ISSUE LIES WITH YOU. UNLESS YOU CAN FORGIVE HER, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL."
The bottom line is there is nothing your girlfriend can do to regain your trust. The issue lies with you. Unless you can forgive her, your relationship will not be successful. To fully forgive someone is not an easy task, but it's a choice you need to make. Like I said, being cheated on leaves a lot of emotional scars, and it takes a strong person to completely forgive someone for doing that. And no one will ever tell you that you have to forgive her either. Unfortunately, if these feelings of unrest and doubt have gone on for a year, the odds of you completely forgiving her and moving on are rather low — not impossible, but not likely.
If something in your life causes you confusion or doubt, then it is not
meant for you and has no place in your life. If it did, you would know. This applies to any relationship. If you are meant to be with someone, confusion or doubt should not be present. These feelings seem to be prominent in the relationship you are currently in.
Here are your options: Either you can forgive her and give her back all the trust that she threw away a year ago, or you can leave. I've found we tend to stick with people who have hurt us because we are creatures of habit. We like what is familiar to us. Plus, it seems like you two have been together for a long time. The idea of breaking up for good is terrifying because a lot of time was dedicated to that individual. Breaking up with them would mean your time was spent for nothing, and it may feel like a complete waste.
However, if your relationship brings you unrest and constant distrust, then breaking up is the best option. Ultimately, it's all based on you and what you can emotionally conquer in putting the past to rest. Make sure you aren't only staying for comfort.

keeping a pair of shoes in your closet because they are comfortable is acceptable; keeping your girlfriend for the same reason is not. If you decide to walk away and start fresh, remember that no relationship is ever a waste of time as long as it taught you something whether it is about love, relationships or even yourself.

Aimee's as after-hours events that include gourmet food, coat check and valet parking. He said he hopes the dinner theater will allow attendees to have a luxurious experience at an affordable price.
Strong and Zimmerman will begin searching for sponsors to fund the project very soon.
The frequency and the amount of shows to be held at Aimee's will depend on how much support comes from the community. Strong said he encourages community members to share recommendations and thoughts pertaining to the dinner theater with the South
Mass Art Guild.
We're in the investigative stages," Strong said. "Wed love the support from the community"
"I think it's really important that we pay attention, and if not preserve, (then) enjoy local downtown businesses while they're still here, because

Lots of sex in dull romance of 'Fifty Shades'
ALEX LAMB
@Lambcannon
The offensive thing about the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie is that after all the hullabaloo surrounding its sexual content — from think pieces decrying the characters' relationship to the fact that the film brings BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism) to mainstream audiences — the final product is, in reality, pretty tame.
The unique element "Fifty Shades" has going for it is that sex scenes make up approximately 20 minutes
of the two-hour runtime, but only a few of them are legitimately kinky. The "Red Room of Pain" isn't utilized until close to the end, and despite giving a look at all sorts of tools and devices housed there, nothing particularly subversive or exciting actually gets used.
Most of the sex scenes are filmed pretty basically as well, lacking in creative ability and translating the energy of how it feels ineffectively. Rather than ignite the senses, these predominantly show sex in a standard manner, frequently forgetting to take advantage of the power that
close-ups and smart editing can provide.
As for the rest of this "erotic romance," well, it certainly bears the weaknesses of its origins.
Here, the narrative is excessively simple. Mysterious 27-year-old
Author E. L. James first penned the "Fifty Shades" books as "Twilight" fan fiction, and the story and characterization certainly feel like amateur fantasy writing. I would never advocate for Nicholas Sparks, but at least things happen in his plots and his characters receive far more development.
P
UNIVERSAL PICTURES AND FOCUS FEATURES/ASSOCIATED PRESS In this image released by Universal Pictures and Focus Features, Dakota Johnson, left, and Jamie Dornan appear in a scene from the film "Fifty Shades of Grey."
billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) takes a slightly stalkerish interest in shy college senior Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) after she interviews him. They're both intensely attracted to each other, but she has no sexual experience and wants a real relationship. On the other hand, he is committed to BDSM and wants a strictly sexual relationship, with her as the submissive and him as the dominant. The main conflict revolves around whether she'll sign a contract agreeing to this arrangement as they both push their personal limits, which, in execution, doesn't exactly make for compelling filmmaking.
At least Kelly Marcell's screenplay smoothes out a lot of the rough edges that made the relationship in the book so objectionable. Christian doesn't come off as a violent abuser here, and though he's still controlling, that's toned down as well.
Dornan and Johnson hold a palpable chemistry together, sexually charged but dramatically weak. Johnson relies far too much on her lip-biting move, but manages to give a surface amount of emotion for viewers to invest in her surprise, nervousness and particularly her pleasure. Dornan broods around and musters up enough
creepiness and jealousy to pass as a character with a few different sides, but falls short in bringing interesting personality to him.
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson handles needed moments of humor with a satisfying straightforwardness, from a drunk dial to the explicit dissection of Anastasia's sexual contract, while leaving room for awkward chuckles from the audience after lines that are too ridiculous to take seriously. However, many of the passionate moments bare a simplicity or distance in delivery. In a story all about pushing intimate boundaries, that's disappointing, especially when the climactic turning point involving those boundaries fails to feel like a big deal to the audience.
Ultimately, the wealth of sexual content adds up to primarily softcore pornography and just teases of kinkier and more provocative sex, with a fairly plain, unremarkably rendered fantasy romance surrounding it. That can still make for a hot and heavy time and put viewers in the mood, but there's little cinematic merit to "Fifty Shades of Grey" beyond that.

DRAKE
Drake's surprise drop a bold move
Lily Grant @lilygrant UDK
D rake dropped a surprise mixtape on iTunes
Drake's surprise drop of "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" is rumored to be a way of freeing himself from Cash Money
Thursday night, Feb. 12.
The 17-track mixtape,
titled "If You're Reading
This It's Too Late," features
PARTYNEXTDOOR, Lil
Wayne and Travi$ Scott. The
mixtape's sale is projected
to hit about 500,000 copies
in the first three days,
according to Forbes.
This is the rapper's first full-length release since "Nothing Was The Same" in 2013. With the exception of a few features on other artists' songs, Drake's last release was a trio of songs in October of 2014. He dropped "Heat of the Moment," "How Bout Now" and "6 God" on SoundCloud. The latter appears on the new mixtape, so perhaps the other two will appear on a future release.
There is speculation that Drake was obligated to
It features snippets of two songs that appear on the mixtape, "Know Yourself" and "Jungle." The video hinted at new music and left many viewers hungry for more. Relief came for fans when Drake's surprise album arrived later that night.
Thursday morning, Drake released a 14-minute, 40-second film titled "Jungle." The slow-paced, ominous film shows Drake in a car in L.A., returning to his hometown of Toronto and in a few other locations as well. It's an artistic piece featuring home videos of Drake as a child, interactions between him and his WOEs (people "Working on Excellence," aka his peers) and an interesting dream scene that is left to the interpretation of the viewer. At one point, Drake is shown looking out from a high vantage-point in Toronto, which he calls "the 6," in reference to Toronto's two main area codes.
release "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" to fulfill a contract requirement with Cash Money Records, Inc. The label was promised four albums from Drake, according to court documents cited by the online music publication The Early Registration. It's rumored this release may be Drake's way of freeing himself from his contractual commitment to Cash Money, which would enable him to leave the label with his mentor, Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne, who is featured on the album's track "Used To," is also signed with Cash Money Records and is currently feuding with the label. Lil Wayne was supposed to release "The Carter V" on Oct. 28 of last year, but Cash Money refused to release it. The artist bashed the label on
Twitter and filed a $51 million lawsuit against it last month. Lil Wayne is trying to find a way to get off the label, and Drake will likely go with him when he does.
Further evidence of Drake's rebellion against Cash Money came shortly after the album appeared on iTunes. All 17 tracks were uploaded to OVO's official SoundCloud, available to stream for free. Minutes later, they were all removed,
Fans expected an album titled "Views From The 6," as Drake announced in July of last year. It's unclear if "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" is that project under a different name, but it's possible that Thursday night's surprise drop marks a transitional moment in Drake's career, and that "Views From the 6" is still in the works.
Network has 'short list' for Stewart replacement
LYNN ELBER
LOS ANGELES - Comedy Central is mulling a "short list" of replacements for "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, a decision that could affect how much influence the show has on the 2016 presidential campaign.
Associated Press
Also at issue: Whether Stewart, an executive producer for "Daily Show" as well as host, retains some role with the show that has helped shape attitudes toward politics and media and given campaigns an appealing forum to reach potential voters, especially younger ones.
Stewart, 52, announced Tuesday that he will leave the host's job this year, a move that had been closely held by him and the channel. The timing of his exit has yet to be determined, and Stewart did not say what he plans to do afterward.
"It's not out of the question." Herzog added.
"TBD," said Doug Herzog, president of Viacom Entertainment Group, using the shorthand for "to be determined," when asked if Stewart would keep a hand in.
this off his chest and put it out there. He's been carrying this for a little while, and now we'll have to discuss the next steps," Herzog said. "He'll take a deep breath, as will we, and figure out what's best for Jon Stewart and best for "The Daily Show," in that order."
likely at Cash Money's command.
H Herzog said "there's a short list" of possible Stewart replacements, declining to provide specifics. It's uncertain whether it includes former "Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver, who moved to HBO after successfully filling in for Stewart when he took a movie-making break.
"I think Jon wanted to get
He declined to comment on when Stewart, whose contract is up this fall, told Comedy Central of his decision to leave.
Asked about whether Oliver is a candidate, Herzog's reply was succinct.
Asked if that meant he was not under consideration, Herzog said: "I think he's spoken for."
Whoever is chosen has heavy lifting to do.
"John Oliver's got a job," he said.
"It's almost impossible to estimate the impact that Jon Stewart has had on correcting misinformation in the media and calling
out our politicians when they need to be called out," said Sophia McClennen, a Penn State professor and author of "Is Satire Saving Our Nation?: Mockery and American Politics."
Stewart had a "very special talent for putting fear in everybody from the candidate to the operative to the intern, should they do something wrong, say something wrong. You knew it might be immortalized on "The Daily Show," said Kevin Madden, who was a campaign adviser for Mitt Romney in 2008 and 2012.
And that was felt in the halls of power.
Given the circumstances, Drake likely released this mixtape to satisfy his agreement with Cash Money, and is saving his senior album, which is anticipated to be the greatest compilation of Drake music thus far, for his own label, OVO Sound.
Even former President Bill Clinton felt compelled to weigh in, although lightheartedly.
"Ion Stewart's departure raises 2 Qs: 1) Where will I get my news each night? 2) Does this mean he's doing a sequel to Death to Smoochy?" Clinton posted on Twitter, including a reference to a 2002 comedy in which Stewart appeared.
"News satire will live on, largely because Stewart created an incredible market for it. In that sense, there will be a lot of folks trying to occupy the very big shadow he's cast over the genre," Madden said.

They just keep on winning. After suffering a serious scare on Sunday, the Jayhawks calmly made another comeback to defeat Weber State and move to 10-0 on the season, tying the best start in program history.
JATHAWKS SHOW GRIT IN
COMEBACK EFFORT
Kansas endured its third scare of the season, falling behind 3-0 to Weber State before scoring five unanswered runs in the sixth inning to earn its 10th win of the season.
The Jayhawks have now swept two straight weekend classics. This one was not easy though. They had to fight through some tough challenges, including two tough games with New Mexico State and had to come back twice to win against
"Beth did a great job coming in; she was poised and confident and went right after their hitters. She did a great job for us until we got the lead then we put Pille back in there to close it out and I thought she did a great job doing that," Smith said.
The game of the weekend was undoubtedly the second game against New Mexico State, which turned into a 25-12 barnburner win for the Jayhawks on Saturday. The Jayhawks set offensive program records for hits (23), runs (25), RBIs (25) and doubles (7). The win, while entertaining, showed that Kansas has the ability to generate large amounts of offense to win games.

At the end of the day, the Jayhawks are 10-0.
As has been the case for the entire season, the seniors came up big. Facing a 3-2 deficit in the sixth inning, senior Chanin Naudin blasted a double to right center field to push across two runs that gave the Jayhawks a 4-3 lead. A couple more runs gave the Jayhawks a 6-3 lead that they would preserve in the seventh inning for a big win. However, the Jayhawks left more than a few runs on bases that they failed to capitalize on, which frustrated coach Megan Smith.

schedule," Smith said. "Our girls just believe every single game that they're going to win and they fight until they do. That's how we're going to win all of our games this season — none of them are going to be easy, we're going to have to fight through every one of them."
On defense, the Jayhawks had some difficulty pitching, having to rotate through three different pitchers. Senior Alicia Pille started the game, but was replaced by junior Monique Wesley, who was replaced by senior Beth Wilson. Pille returned in the seventh inning to finish off the game, but Wilson earned the win.
VIRGINIA
Up next, the Jayhawks will travel to Gainesville, Fla., to play in the Aquafina Invitational. Kansas will face its toughest matchup of the season, as they will play the No. 1 team in the country, the Florida Gators, who are also 10-0.

Snedeker breaks personal record, wins Pebble Beach
DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
Nick Watney hits out of a bunker onto the second green of the Pebble Beach Golf Links during the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tourna ment Sunday in Pebble Beach, Calif. Watney took second place in the tournament.
ERIC RISBERG/ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Brandt snedeker broke his own scoring record and won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for the second time in three years.
Snedeker played bogeyfree in the final round Sunday and left the mistakes to everyone else. He closed with a 5-under 67 and a three-shot victory over Nick Watney, and the timing could not have been better
Snedeker fell out of the top 50 at the end of last year for the first time since 2011 and was guaranteed of playing only one major and no World Golf Championships unless he turned his game around. One great week at one of his favorite spots in golf changed everything.
The victory assures him a spot in the Masters and PGA Championship (he was already eligible for the U.S. Open). And he moves to No. 31 in the world ranking,
which most likely gets him into all the WGCs, starting with Doral in three weeks.
"I'm just so excited about what's next." Decker said.
what's next', Snedeker said. He made only one bogey in 72 holes of glorious weather, as good as it gets at Pebble Beach. And when he finally took the lead after Watney made his worst swing of the week — a 4-iron right of the sixth fairway and into Stillwater Cove — Snedeker pulled away, taking all the drama out of the final hour.
A conservative par on the final hole gave him a 22-under 265, breaking the scoring record by two shots that he set in 2013. He also broke by two shots the score to par previously held by Phil Mickelson (2007) and Mark O'Meara (1997) when the par-72 Poppy Hills was still in the rotation.
Watney opened with four straight birdies, but it was three bogeys in a five-hole stretch at the turn that cost him. He rallied with a pair of birdies for a 69 to secure
second place alone, a good step for him getting his game back in order.

Watney never caught up. They matched birdies on the seventh and 11th holes, and then Snedeker pulled away with pars. Watney made bogey from a fairway bunker on the 13th, and from behind the green on the 14th to fall four shots behind.

"I only made two birdies today and I hit the ball way better than that," Furyk said. He tied for seventh, six shots behind, along with Jordan
Spieth and Matt Jones.

Perry Ellis reaches 1,000-point milestone
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
It didn't take long for Kansas junior forward Perry Ellis to make history against Baylor. With 12:06 left in the first half, Ellis nailed a jumper to give him 1,001 career points. That made him the 11th player in the Bill Self era to score 1,000 or more points. This feat is more impressive considering he averaged only 5.8 points-per-game in 13.6 minutes as a freshman.
With 18 points in the game, Ellis now has 1,015 career points, placing him in 54th place all time in Kansas scoring.
"It's a great accomplishment and I'm just blessed to be in this position," Ellis said after the game. "It's really an honor and feels great. I'm just trying to keep getting better and better and keep winning."
All of Ellis' 18 points were needed as the Jayhawks faced a 13-point first-half deficit. The No. 8 Jayhawks (21-4, 10-2) ended up defeating No. 16 Baylor (18-7, 6-6) 74-6 in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.
the Bears got off to a hot start, opening up a 23-10 lead on the Jayhawks in the opening minutes. The Jayhawks found their footing in the second half,
outscoring the Bears 47-31 en route to the win.
"They hung 23 on us in the first nine minutes of the game," coach Bill Self said. "After that, they missed some open looks that they made early and we defended them and rebounded better.
"The biggest thing in the second half was they shot a low percentage, we did a much better job on the glass and we attacked their zone a lot better."
One of the biggest surprises of the game came from the performance of redshirt sophomore forward Landen Lucas, who scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds, including three offensive rebounds, off the bench for the Jayhawks.
"He was great," Self said. "He got 14 minutes, but he made the most of them. He's worked hard. There are certain things that Landen does better than any big guy we have because he understands the game better than any big guy we have. For him to have the confidence to shoot it, it's always nice to see it go in because that is a big moment for a youngster."
The Jayhawks held Baylor's junior forward Rico Gathers, who is currently averaging 12.6 rebounds-per-game, to eight rebounds, including only two offensive rebounds.
"He made some hard shots.
Of the six baskets he made, I bet you three of them were shots we would hope he would take and then he delivered." Self said of Gathers' performance. "If we did one good thing on him, it was he only got two offensive rebounds. But we didn't do a great job on him, I thought he played very well. I thought the whole team played well."
But the afternoon belonged to Ellis.
"My mom was up there, just happy and she was happy for me," Ellis said. "I just go out there and just play hard for my family, coaches, fans, teammates and everybody. That's what I try to do."
Up next, the Jayhawks will travel to Morgantown, W.V., for a Big Monday matchup.
"Tomorrow we'll prepare in a 30-minute practice," Self said. "If you're going to play West Virginia and only practice for 30 minutes, you'd be better doing it the second game. Certainly Wayne, Kelly, Devonte' and Brannen need to show up. Hopefully our guys go in with the mindset to score instead of survive."

Tigers sweep Jayhawks in season opening series
JOEY ANGUIANO
@joey_anguiano
Despite taking the lead in the second inning and building on it in the fourth, the Kansas Jayhawks (0-3) were unable to avoid the sweep this weekend in Baton Rouge, La. Kansas found itself behind the second-ranked LSU Tigers (3-0) after a sixth inning that saw the Tigers score four runs.
The game looked promising early for the Jayhawks, as sophomore Sean Rackoski started for the first time in his career. Rackoski only allowed one run through the first four innings and seven hits through the duration of his appearance.
Sophomore Michael Tinsley started the scoring for the Jayhawks early in the second inning after getting walked and taking advantage of an LSU error to score. Senior. Dakot-
Smith then followed suit, scoring on a wild pitch and taking the lead for the Jayhawks 2-1.
Rackoski wasn't the only one who had a career first today, as senior Blair Beck hit his first career home run as a Jayhawk in the fourth inning, expanding Kansas' lead to two runs. Then in the sixth, with the game tied at three, the Jayhawks took their final lead of the game as freshman Matt McLaughlin was hit in after recording his first career hit.
It proved to be not enough, as LSU scored four runs in the sixth. LSU sophomore Jake Fraley started the rally for the Tigers with a single, followed by freshman Bryce Jordan being walked. The Tigers' senior designated hitter Chris Sciambra then hit Fraley home with an RBI single to tie the game at four. Senior Jared Foster pinch ran for Jordan, and was hit home on another RBI
single, this time from junior Mark Laird. The Tigers hit Laired and Sciambra both in before the end of the inning on RBI singles, giving LSU a 7-4 lead.
While the weekend ended in a sweep for the Jayhawks, playing the second ranked team on their home field early in the season is a great source of growth for the team. Hopefully after this series, Kansas can take the experience gained and put it to use against its upcoming Pac-12 opponents later this week in Arizona.

Kansas tennis earns the win in home opener
JACOB CLEMEN
@jclemn9
Kansas tennis picked up its first home win of the season in exhilarating fashion, knocking off No. 49 Houston 1-3.
The Jayhawks' home opener marked the first time Kansas has won against a ranked opponent since last year and improved the team to 3-4 on the year.
"Coming out and competing, staying confident in what we're doing, being fearless and not being afraid of being successful — that's a process we are going through as a team," coach Todd Chapman said. "I couldn't be more proud of the girls and the team."
J Kansas started the day strong in doubles play. Senior Maria Belen Ludueña and her partner junior Maria Jose Cardona lost their doubles match 6-4, but freshmen summer Collins and Rachel
McNeely won their match 6-4, setting up a dramatic finish in the final doubles match.
Freshmen Smith Hinton and Madison Harrison built a 5-1 lead before Houston erased the deficit to even things at 5-5. Kansas then went ahead 6-5 and Houston rallied again to even things at 6-6. Kansas won the tiebreaker 7-6 to clinch the doubles point for the Jayhawks.
Cardona dropped the first singles point fairly quickly (6-0, 6-3) to even the score at a point apiece.
Harrison followed up the excitement of her deciding match in doubles with a singles victory (6-1, 6-4) to put the Jayhawks up 2-1.
Kansas needed victories from both Hinton and Collins if it hoped to secure the win. Hinton won her first set handily 6-1 but dropped the

second set 6-3. In the deciding set, Hinton won the first four games but surrendered four of the next five before securing the set 6-4 and the match.
adidas
The final and deciding match between Collins and Maria Cardenas, the junior from Houston, was a long and dramatic affair. Cardenas jumped to an early lead and secured the first set 6-1. Collins then took a back-and-forth second set 6-4 and had momentum heading into the final set. Cardenas took the first game but Collins won five straight to lead 5-1 but had trouble putting Cardenas away. Cardenas was able to win four straight to even things at 5-5. Collins then won the next two games to win her match and secure the victory for Kansas.

"I came out in the first set not very confident," Collins said. "I knew I had to change it around. ... When things aren't going your way it's hard to keep up your energy."
Chapman said Hinton and Collins "did a fantastic job staying calm" with a victory on the line and that the key to Kansas' success was staying positive and executing
comebacks.
"We have to remember that we'll be back to work on Monday but we'll enjoy it this weekend," Chapman said.

After shaking off the rust and getting back in the swing of their winning ways, the Jayhawk men's golf team will compete in the University of Wyoming Intercollegiate in Palm Desert, Calif.
Wednesday, Bermel said he will be bringing six golfers with him this coming weekend.
Those golfers include junior Ben Welle, sophomore Chase Hanna, senior Logan Philley, freshman Daniel Hudson, redshirt freshman Brock Drogosch and junior Connor Peck. He said he chose them for the experience they've had because they played in most of the events during the fall with Welle and Hanna having played in all six.

Sophomore guard Brannen Greene celebrates Saturday's win against Baylor.
Redshirt sophomore Landen Lucas dunks the ball against Baylor. Lucas had seven points, three boards and one assist.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
In the Jayhawks' 25 games this season, no player has seen his minutes vary game-to-game more than Landen Lucas. The redshirt sophomore has played 15 or more minutes on four occasions, including a 24-minute outing against the TCU Horned Frogs, but he's also played less than five minutes in five different games.
To Lucas, however, there's only one stat that matters: Wins.
"Whatever coach asks of me, I'm ready to do," Lucas said following the team's victory over Baylor. "Whether I play or don't play, [I'm] always ready."
Lucas was certainly "ready" for the big stage, especially in the second half, where he recorded seven points, three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes. Lucas matched his career-high in scoring with nine points while knocking down five free throws in a game for just the second time in his career.
In the postgame press conference, Bill Self was also complimentary of the play of Lucas, especially on a day when players like sophomores Frank Mason III and Brannen Greene really struggled to shoot the ball.
“[Landen] understands the game better than any big guy we have,” Self said. “Landen knows how to play [against the zone], and he was obviously good against the zone [today].”
Sure enough, with the Jayhawks down four with 10 minutes to go, it was Lucas' ability to read the zone that
changed the game. Brannen Greene missed a long three-point attempt, but Lucas got himself into position for an offensive rebound. His move was crucial given that there's often an extra second of hesitation as players figure out who they need to box out.
Lucas snagged the offensive board and went right back up. He missed the put-back attempt, but was in deep enough position that he was able to jump right back up one more time and score, while getting fouled. Sure enough, Lucas' basket sparked a 10-0 Kansas run, which effectively
ended the game as the Jayhawks took momentum. Baylor was forced to use its third and fourth timeouts, all before the under-eight media timeout, and that was that.
Kansas would lead the rest of the way, winning 74-64, while outscoring the Bears by 16 points in the second half. It wasn't just Self who noticed Lucas' impact in the second half either, as he had the full support of his teammates after the game.
["Lucas] helped us tremendously," junior forward Perry Ellis said. "He came out [in the second half] with great
effort and really helped us over the hump."
Overall, the performance by Lucas in the second half really decided the game, and it was something that definitely caught the eyes of analysts on Twitter. Rob Dauster of NBC Sports jokingly called Lucas the greatest player of all
time, adding that he was the "difference maker" for Kansas in the second half, while CBS' Seth Davis credited Lucas for sparking the comeback.
Moving forward, the Jayhawks will hit the road to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers, another game of uncertainty for Lucas. He could play 20
minutes against the press; he could be a "DNP." However, one thing won't change for Lucas — his mindset.
“It’s definitely not the easiest thing” Lucas said. “There’s a lot of ups and downs, [but] I just try to stay positive.”

STANFORD, Calif. — Bonnie Samuelson scored 24 points, her sister Karlie added 14 and No. 19 Stanford easily topped UCLA 68-50 on Sunday.
Bonnie made 8 of 12

Stanford (19-7, 11-3 Pac-
12) overcame cold shooting at the start of both halves to run away from UCLA (10-15, 6-8), which did not make a 3-pointer (0 for 3).
Karlie hit another one later and Stanford led comfortably at the half. 37-24.
Jordin Canada led UCLA with 10 points.
Stanford had just two baskets in the first six minutes of the second half, but UCLA only narrowed the gap to 10 points. Bonnie Samuelson hit a 3 to make it 45-32, and the Cardinal lead hit 20 with 8:25 to go.
stanford trailed 10-4 after 6 $ \frac{1}{2} $ minutes, but the Cardinal warmed up quickly, as a 9-0 spurt — started by a Karlie Samuelson 3-pointer — gave them their first lead of the night. Bonnie Samuelson then drilled three-straight 3s,
Track and field face solid competition over weekend
G.J. MELIA
@gimelia
The Kansas track and field team completed competitive meets in Ames, Iowa, and Fayetteville, Ark., on Saturday with no victories, but multiple athletes recorded career-highs in their events, per University release.
In Fayetteville, the Jayhawks had two second-place finishers. In the women's high jump, senior Lindsay Vollmer jumped to a height of 5'11 1/2", while sophomore Grace Pickell tied for fifth in the same event. In the men's pole vault, junior Nick Maestretti tied for second, posting a height of 17'2 3/4".
Senior Michael Stigler headed the 4x400-meter relay team, which finished in 13th place. With Stigler were freshman Tre Daniels, senior Kenneth McCuin and junior Drew Matthews. The
team completed the relay in 3:10.42, the sixth-fastest time in school history.
At the ISU Classic, there were several Jayhawks with successful weekends. In the 800 meters, junior Kelli McKenna, sophomore Nashia Baker and redshirt freshman Lydia Saggau placed in spots 37-39 respectively.
"'[The competition] did a good job of giving us a realistic view of where our teams are as we head into the conference meet,"
STANLEY REDWINE Track and field coach
Both junior Hannah Richardson and freshman Alaina Schroeder finished with impressive times as well in their events. Richardson
finished 10th, running a time of 4:49.49 in the women's mile, while Schroeder timed in at 9:54.16, good enough for 23rd in the women's 3,000 meters.
Coach Stanley Redwine said both the Tyson Invitational and ISU Classic gave the track athletes a good barometer of competition heading into the Big 12 Championships.
“[The competition] did a good job of giving us a realistic view of where our teams are as we head into the conference meet.” Redwine said in the University release.
The team will have two weeks to prepare for the Big 12 Championships, which will take place in Ames, Iowa, on Feb. 27 and 28. Redwine said the team will use the time to heal injuries, as well as put in more work to be fully ready for the conference meet.

More power to the people that keep picking against Kansas. This team was too small, right? Too young? Well, right now, Kansas has a two-game conference lead with six to play. Sure, in non-conference play, Kansas didn't look like it belonged on the same floor as Kentucky (32 point loss) or Temple (25 point loss). But Self's team is never the same in February as it is in November. The Jayhawks' only two losses in conference play came on the road and only by a 5-point margin.
West Virginia's mad-house pressure will likely put considerable stress on Mason, While Selden is white-hot from three, his ball-handling is not trustworthy enough on the road against quick feet. That's why Kansas needs freshman Devonte' Graham to come to his aid Monday night. Lately, the guard has averaged close to 15 minutes per game, but expect to see his ball-handling utilized more Monday.
QUESTION MARK
What happens when the threes aren't falling?
When it's working, it's a thing of beauty. Kansas basically shot its way out of the Baylor zone on Saturday. It pulverized Texas Tech with jumper after jumper. Brannen Greene has torched Georgetown and Texas to name a couple. But in Stillwater on Feb. 7, the well rai dry in the second half, and Kansas went stagnant in the half-court. Saturday, the Jayhawks got solid efforts out of Ellis, Lucas and Alexander. Was that an exception in the confines of Allen Fieldhouse, or the rule and a sign of things to come?

Kansas kept Baylor rebounding- machine Rico Gathers to just eight rebounds Saturday. The forward averages over 15 per game.
Virginia will try to speed you up, they'll go for the steal — and get it sometimes — but that will also give you open looks. Kansas should not try to get in a track meet on the road against a team hungry for a win. While it's not Kansas' strength, the Jayhawks should slow things down in the half court and impose their will down low. Ellis and Alexander could have big nights.

Kansas is 8-0 when Oubre makes multiple three pointers. Why? He holds defenses accountable when he's shooting well. Then, he can stretch them out, slash past them and create. He looks more assertive on the home court, but an 18-point, six-rebound, and turnover-free performance Saturday gives hope that he is figuring out how to be more consistent.

Perry Ellis, junior, forward
There is a reason only 56 players to ever wear a Kansas uniform have scored 1,000 points. It takes a solid player who stays around long enough. That's just what Ellis is and has done. The junior leads the Jayhawks with 13.1 points per game and seven rebounds. He came up big when Kansas needed him against Baylor. Ellis scored 18 points and added six rebounds.

Long-armed Alexander might just be the rim-protector that this team has sorely lacked this season. He ranks seventh in the league with 1.4 blocked shots per game. He finished Saturday with just one, but left Lubbock with four.

He has only made 38.1 percent of his field-goals, including 30.1 percent from three, and his free throws are no sure thing. In fact, he misses more than he makes—just 13 of 29 (44.8 percent), and he doesn't get there often.
★★☆☆☆
1962
Devin Williams, sophomore, forward. The 6-foot-9, 255 pound sophomore does his best Rico Gathers impression. His game is limited to within five or so feet of the basket (he has attempted one three this season, but missed), and he is often chalking up double-doubles (although not comfortably). He ranks 19th in the conference with 11.1 points per game, and second in rebounding (8.3).
Devin Williams, sophoniore, forward
★★★★☆
Jonathan Holton, junior, forward
At 6-foot-7, 220 pounds, Holton will likely match up with Perry Ellis. Ellis has had his lapses and is sometimes careless with the basketball, and Holton may be the guy to take advantage, as the big man averages 1.36 steals per game, good for ninth in the conference. Offensively, it has been a struggle of late. Holton was just 1-of-7 against Baylor despite six rebounds.

WVU TIPOFF
BLAIR SHEADE
@ReaiBlairShead
AT A GLANCE
West Virginia has been on the short side of the stick a few times (close losses to LSU and Iowa State), but when you shoot the ball as poorly from the line as they often do (65.1 percent), that'll happen. At other times, the Mountaineers get their doors blown off. They've been victim to 18-plus-point losses four times in conference play. And at other times, they'll run you out of the gym, as they did to Oklahoma in mid-January.
PLAYER TO WATCH
T
Jevon Carter, freshman guard
The 6-foot-2 freshman will come off the bench and wreak havoc. He averages the third most steals per game in the Big 12 (1.92). Carter also contributes 8.1 points per game in a little over 22 minutes. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins likes to cycle through his rolodex of quick, turnover-creating guards. Carter is usually one of the first off the bench.
Can the Mountaineers defend the arc?
QUESTION MARK
To this point, that answer has been a resounding "no." West Virginia allows opponents to shoot a Big 12-worst 35.5 percent from three. In comes Kansas, uncharacteristically the best three-point shooting team in the league (40.6 percent). To put things in perspective, West Virginia, as a team, shoots 41.2 percent from the field. Seeing that three-points is greater than two, if these teams shoot their averages, Kansas will win comfortably. The Mountaineers have to find an answer.
BY THE NUMBERS
12.1
The Mountaineer's average the most steals per game in the country.
35.5
West Virginia allows the highest three-point field goal percentage in the Rip 12
65.1
West Virginia has been plagued by an inability to consistently shoot free throws, ranking second-worst in the Big 12 at the line.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
It becomes turnover city. Kansas could very well play into the牙齿 of the Mountainees pressure — it's not out of the question. After all, they did it against Iowa State in the closing minutes, and didn't fare too well against Oklahoma State's swarming defense either, and those two teams pale in comparison to what Kansas will see Monday. In the game of basketball, the turnover can be a great equalizer for undersized, overmatched teams like West Virginia. The Kansas backcourt will face its toughest challenge yet.

Q. How much money did the tax-exempt NFl bring in in 2014?
A. $10 billion
Sports Business Daily
THE MORNING BREW
NFL's anti-domestic violence partner 'No More' markets a sham
domestic violence victim calls 911 dispatchers to report abuse. Instead of talking to the dispatcher normally, she must act as if she's ordering a pizza, with her attacker presumably in the same room.
In a somber 60-second Super Bowl ad, a domestic violence
The ad was sponsored by the NFL on part of "No More," a public awareness campaign against domestic violence and sexual assault, an issue that hit close to the league this year. It was part of commissioner Roger Goodell's efforts to reshape the way the organization deals with domestic violence
Goodell and the league were applauded for the ad, which was "donated" by the NFL to No More as part of the partnership between the two organizations. What few
Christian Hardy @HardyNFL
realized was this partnership is a ruse.
Boiled down. No More is an awareness group created by large, wealthy companies — Viacom. Allstate, Verizon and plenty of others — to improve the image of the companies which are involved. It was co-founded in 2009 by Jane Randel, who specializes in "corporate rebranding" and "reputation and crisis management," according to
her LinkedIn profile. She's now one of NFL's four crisis-management employees; she was hired when the league took on its domestic violence campaign.
No More doesn't do a whole lot outside of marketing. From what consumers can see, the only thing the organization does is put its teal-colored logo on items like shoes, headphones and hoodies and sell them on its website. There's even a No More wife-beater, which you can pick up for the low price of $26.
No one knows exactly where that money is going, even after Deadspin reporter Diana Moskovitz tried to dig into it. The only thing a company email said was that some portion of its sales is passed onto a steering committee of 22 nonprofits.
Fortunately for Goodell, not much attention has been directed toward the league's domestic violence campaign. Rather, the NFL news cycle burden its details u
THE BREW
NFL news cycle buried its details with
senseless topics such as Deflategate. So in the eyes of the public, the NFL did its job of promoting domestic violence awareness. But in reality, the only thing the league had to do was give up a minute of its own Super Bowl airtime to No More.
It also must be noted that domestic violence and sexual assault aren't acceptable, and awareness, in the right ways, is key. But, when the only thing awareness groups, like LIVESTRONG, do is place
their logos on overpriced T-shirts and iPhone cases and toss a few pennies to charity, they are not doing a lot of good. And that's the path No More has followed.
Now that the NFL has successfully -- for the most part -- buried its domestic violence crisis, it's shown how companies can resolve crises of their own without shelling out a penny to a non-profit. And we shouldn't be surprised. The $10 billion corporation that Goodell has built is not
about fixing an issue, but rather, making itself more marketable.
West edges East in All-Star Game
Edited by Yu Kyung Lee
BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press
NEW YORK — Russell Westbrook scored 41 points, one shy of the NBA All-Star Game record, and the Western Conference defeated the East 163-158 on Sunday night.
The Oklahoma City speedster had a record 27 points by halftime and closed out the scoring with two free throws,
falling one point shy of Wilt Chamberlain's 42 points in the 1962 game.
James Harden added 29 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the West, which built a 20-point lead in the first half and then pulled away after it was tied at 148 with a little more than 4 minutes remaining.
LeBron James finished with 30 points but couldn't lead the to victory in his favorite
NBA arena.
Harden's 3-pointer snapped the final tie with 4:02 to play and Chris Paul followed with consecutive baskets. Westbrook's 3-pointer put it away at 158-149 with 2:22 to go.
But right from the start, the players were sharing the stage.
Christina Aguilera appeared from behind a giant big apple, and belted out some New York-inspired numbers to start

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
Coming out of the gates, the Bears jumped on top of the Jayhawks, starting the game on an 18-6 run. Outside of Cliff Alexander, who had four points and a block over that stretch, the team played quite poorly, and it only got worse as Jamari Traylor entered the game. However, when Self reinserted Alexander, the Jayhawks turned things around, outsourcing the Bears by double digits over the final 10 minutes when Alexander was on the floor, and the deficit was down to a very manageable six points at the half.
2ND HALF
In the second half, it was Kansas' turn to jump out to an early advantage starting the second half on an 11-3 run, with Selden scoring seven of the first 11 points. The Jayhawks dominated from start to finish, outscoring the Bears by 16 points in the final period. Ultimately, it looked as though the Jayhawks had completely figured out the slightly adjusted Scott Drew zone.
GAME TO REMEMBER
CHARLIE RIEDEL/ASSOCIATED PRESS Sophomore forward Landen Lucas (33) and junior forward Jamari Traylor (31) put pressure on Baylor's Al Freeman (25) and Rico Gathers (2) during the game Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas won 74-64.
KANSAS 33 KANSAS 31 WINNICK BAYSIDE CHARLAT RIEDEL / ASSOCIATED PR
P.E.
Perry Ellis never really dominated the game at any point, but his ability to get a basket when the Jayhawks needed it most was the driving force in the victory. Ellis scored 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting, which was spread out quite evenly. Ellis had four points in the first 10 minutes of the game, four points in the second 10-minute increment, four points in the next 15 minutes and six points in the final five, to lead the Jayhawks to a 10-point win.
GAME TO FORGET
PETER R. SMITH
For Kansas, Jamari Traylor had little impact on the game whatsoever. Playing a team-low 12 minutes, Traylor was the only Jayhawk in the game to go scoreless, finishing with no points, no assists, no steals and no blocks, while committing a turnover and recording a foul.
UNSUNG HERO
ALEXANDER MAYOR
Landen Lucas spent most of the first half on the bench, as Cliff Alexander held his own against Baylor's Rico Gathers, but down the stretch, Self turned to his redshirt sophomore. Lucas was up to the challenge, putting up nine points and four rebounds in a performance that he referred to as one of the best of his career after the game.

COMMENTARY Ellis among the scoring greats
Matt Corte
@Corte UDK
Edited by Kayla Schartz
"I think I can still get better," Ellis said. "I mean there's ball-handling and even shooting better, I feel like I can improve on that more ... so I feel like there's still more to learn."
On Valentine's Day, when the motto is all about love, junior forward Perry Ellis was shown just a bit more than the rest of his Jayhawk teammates.
Then again, it's not every day that a player crosses the 1,000 point threshold for his career.
"It's a great accomplishment, and I'm just blessed to be in this situation," Ellis said. "I'm just trying to get better and better, and just keep winning."
KANSAS

KANSAS

KU
Playing against Baylor on Saturday, Ellis became the 56th player in Kansas basketball history to do just that, scoring 18 points to put his career total at 1,015.
Known for his quiet nature and humble attitude, Ellis briefly acknowledged his achievement after the game before quickly reverting back to what's most important: winning.
Coming into the game with 997 career points, Ellis passed the 1K mark on a mid-range jumper with 12:06 left in the first half, a foul sending him to the line in the process.
Sophomore guards Wayne Selden Jr. and Brannen Greene celebrate after a few big points in the win against Baylor on Saturday, Feb. 14.
Having allowed Baylor 21 points in under eight minutes of play, and still down 11 after his jumper, no Kansas player or coach was celebrating Ellis' achievement quite yet.
Instead of basking in the spotlight, Ellis kept his usual demeanor and hustled back after missing the free throw opportunity.
Why stop at No. 15 though?
As a player, you constantly have to give more effort than what's expected. The great thing about Perry Ellis is that he always does.
Not surprisingly, even Ellis himself mentioned the milestone was a non-factor during the contest.
"I wasn't really trying to think about it during the game," Ellis said. "But after, my teammates, they were all really happy for me, and I just tried to soak it in."
'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN
In scoring 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting, Ellis passed former Jayhawks Norman Cook and Rodger Bohnenstehl on the Kansas all-time scoring list, pushing him to No. 54.
By the numbers, Ellis would have to average only 12.2 points per game based on a 35-game schedule. Considering he already averages 13 points per contest this season, it looks like Self could be correct with his assumption.
Self's not just blowing smoke either. Former three-point specialist Jeff Boschee sits at No. 15 all-time with 1,560 career points. In other words, that position is well within reach.
With more games to play this season and an all-but-guaranteed return for his senior year, Ellis can climb even higher on that list, coach Bill Self said.
"If he were to stay all four years, hed put himself in a situation where he could be one of the 15 leading scorers ever in the history of the school, which would be pretty cool." Self said.

No.8 Kansas to face off against No.21 West Virginia for first time this season
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
Following a comeback victory against Baylor, No. 8 Kansas travels to No. 21 West Virginia to take on the Mountaineers for the first time this season.
Kansas has won of six of its past seven games and come into play with a 21-4 record. West Virginia enters with a 19-6 record having lost three of its four previous games.
The Jayhawks have a twogame lead atop the Big 12 at 10-2, while West Virginia sits in third place at 7-5. West Virginia posts a 9-3 record at home this season.
Senior guard Juwan Staten leads West Virginia in scoring this season, averaging 14.2 points per game while shooting 41 percent from the field. Sophomore forward Devin Williams leads the Mountaineers with 8.2 rebounds per game, adding 11.4 points as well. Staten recorded 16 points while Williams pulled down nine boards in their last loss to Iowa State.
Kansas sophomore forward Landen Lucas is coming off of his most productive game of the season. Lucas recorded nine points in 14 minutes, with four rebounds and strong defensive play.
Junior forward Perry Ellis and freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. led Kansas in scoring with 18 points. The two also pulled down a team-high of six rebounds. Oubre was 4-6 from behind the three-point line as well.
Kansas has not yet faced West Virginia and its full-court pressure defense. West Virginia tends to press for most of the game, which has given Kansas trouble this season. The Jayhawks have recently struggled with getting the ball up the court when a team has the press on.
Kansas sophomore guard Frank Mason III's steady ball handling will be a key in Monday night's matchup. Mason just snapped his streak
of 20-straight games with double-digit points. Mason is due for a bounce-back effort against WVU.
Kansas has defeated West Virginia three out of its past four matchups since the
Mountaineers have joined the Big 12. West Virginia is currently ranked second in the Big 12 scoring, putting up 75 points per game, but is ninth in the conference in scoring defense, allowing 65.8 points.
Kansas will need to play to its strengths Monday, as it leads the Big 12 in three-point percentage while West Virginia is last in three-point defense, allowing its opponents to shoot 36 percent from deep.
Up next, Kansas will host TCU on Saturday, Feb. 21. Kansas defeated TCU 64-61 in its previous matchup this season in Fort Worth, Texas.

Senior Forward Chelsea Gardner shoots a layup in the game against Texas on Saturday. The Jayhawks lost 74-63.
ALI DOVER/KANSAN
Senior guard Natalie Knight reached the 1,000 point mark of her career with a bucket late in the game. Knight needed 10 points to surpass it.
"It's a great opportunity for her. She has worked hard for it," senior forward Chelsea Gardner said.
Knight is the 11th player in coach Bonnie Henrickson's era to join the 1,000-point club and 28th overall in program history.
"She's done special things for us, and I'm glad she did it in front of her family and the home crowd," Henrickson said.
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Falling 74-63, Kansas could not keep up with Texas (16-8, 5-8), unlike the last matchup between the two. Kansas (13-13, 4-9) lost its third straight game, two of them being at home, and Texas snapped a four-game losing streak with the win.
The second half saw a swing in momentum. Early on, Kansas was in control scoring 10 points within the first three minutes. After that, Texas took control of the contest.
"I thought we had better patience in the second half when Kansas went into the zone defense," Texas coach Karen Aston said.
This was a back-and-

forth game for the first 20 minutes where neither team had a lead greater than seven points. Texas' largest lead was seven points, while Kansas's was at three points for the first half.
One struggling stat for the Jayhawks was rebounding, as they were outrebounded 50-27. Sixteen rebounds
were given up to Texas
junior Imani McGee-
Stafford.
"We just had players standing at the three-point line and had four go in for the offensive rebound, but could not get to it." Henrickson said.
The closest Kansas would get in the second half was a three-pointer by senior guard Asia Boyd, making the game 52-49 with 9:03 remaining.
"We started out slow against West Virginia and thought we could get better than that in our next game." Boyd said.
Kansas shot 21-of-57 for 37 percent,6-of-20 from three for 30 percent and were 15-of-19 from the line for 79 percent.
Both Gardner and Boyd led the way for Kansas scoring 16 points each.
Kansas will have back-toback road games next week, starting with a road-task against TCU on Tuesday.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Rachel Hagan tables on Wescoe Beach to promote Active Minds. Active Minds is a national organization that works to remove the stigma associated with mental health issues.
BRET IVY
@bretdaytonivy
"Believe in yourself." "You did the best you could."
These are just two of the many messages that Rachel Hagan and members of KU Active Minds draw on the sidewalks along Jayhawk Boulevard. Hagan said she hopes the messages serve as a small reminder to students who feel depressed or anxious. She said she hopes the chalk reminds students that they're not alone.
Hagan is president of KU Active Minds, a student organization that promotes talking about mental health and provides students with information about therapeutic services and other ways to get help. Hagan wants to facilitate a more open discussion about student mental health problems and remove the stigma around mental illness in general.
"I think the change in talking about mental health has already started," Hagan, a senior computer science major from Topeka, said. "More and more people have been coming forward saying. I want to talk about this.' This has been a part of Active Minds' success."
In a 2014 study by the American College Health Association, 32.6 percent of college
students reported they "felt so depressed it was too difficult to function," while 54 percent felt "overwhelming anxiety."
These feelings can cause students to struggle with schoolwork and creating a healthy social life. Sometimes, students drop out as a result.
"Mental health is like an underlying current," Hagan said. "If you have family issues or financial issues, you might also have mental health that gets tangled with that. Then your mental illness might make it harder with everything else that is going on, which is already really hard for an
18-year-old to deal with'
"A mental illness can be very isolating," she said. "The illness wants to tell you, it's just you, this is your fault, this isn't real." I think there's a lot of power in talking to other people going through the same situations, so that you don't feel so alone. Then you can share resources and share ideas on how to cope."

Sophomore Gabby Yeager lifts a barbell during weightlifting. Yeager is the leader of KU Babes, a group for women on campus who are interested in weightlifting.
All-female club strives to empower, strengthen women
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Nearly 30 girls squat in unison holding barbells above their heads while "Lose Control" by Missy Elliot blares throughout the gym. But the high-energy music can't compete with the instructors encouraging the girls to push themselves through the exhausting workout. With its graffitied walls and upbeat environment, CrossFit Lawrence is a fitting facility to host KU Babes, the only women's weight lifting club on campus.
Yeager said she never expected to have such a large turnout, but was thrilled when roughly 35 girls showed up to the first workout. She said this style of working out is more beneficial than going to a regular gym because the workout is better for you and a tight-knit community is formed.
Gabby Yeager, a sophomore from Wichita, started the club at the beginning of the spring semester because she saw a need that wasn't being met by any other club at the University.
"I was going to join the Strength Club at KU, and someone said 'Oh, it's all guys,' as like a passing comment, and I thought, 'Well, I'll just make a club with all girls then.'"
"A lot of people don't want to do this because the rec is free," she said. "But what you get out of this is so much more than working out by yourself at the rec. Technique and form is really important to how good of a workout you can get. Also, there's a community of people pushing you. Like, I'll see a girl stop and then 10 girls are like, 'You can keep going, keep pushing yourself.' So, you're going to see more results because you're pushing yourself harder with all the other girls around."
Yeager founded the club with the help of two other girls, Morgan Shapiro, a junior from Leawood, and Cora Burgoyne, a sophomore from Wichita. Shapiro became interested in CrossFit
when her boyfriend began doing CrossFit workouts over the summer for the Marines and brought her along to his CrossFit-style workouts.
"I became obsessed," Shapiro said. "When I came back to school, I was like, 'I have to find a CrossFit gym.' I started coming here like six days a week. Then, I met Gabby here and Cora and Gabby was like, 'I really want to start a weightlifting club because there's not one at KU.' She got the ball rolling, and I helped her out."
Yeager said she wants women to recognize the benefits of weightlifting and not be concerned with any stereotypes related to lifting

As of Monday, Feb. 16, there are more than 34,000 signatures on the petition. The petition now has a goal of 40,000 signatures and can be found on the website, MoveOn.org.
"I signed the petition on Saturday, after I saw a friend post it [on Facebook]," Leawood sophomore Melissa Berger said. "I was prompted to sign it and share it because I really feel Brownback is making really poor choices for Kansas."
The unofficial petition was posted over 10 days ago and started with an original goal of 10,000 signatures. Created by Tony Piazza, the petition claims "Governor Brownback is morally and financially bankrupting the state of Kansas." This, as well as his political agenda, are cited as reasons for the recall petition.
If passed, Senate Bill 158 would establish a program, called CARE, for heterosexual foster parent couples who have been married for seven years with no alcohol or tobacco use or any history of drug use. To qualify, the foster parents also must be members of either a church or a similar social group that meets regularly, and one must not be employed.

Brownback has recently been in the national news after he decided to overturn the executive order by former governor Kathleen Sebelius, which protected LGBTQ+ state workers.

Chancellor's report covers KU research
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Focused on growth and the plethora of research taking place at the University level, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released her 2015 Chancellor's Report on Monday. Gray-Little focused a portion of her two-minute introduction on the ongoing high-quality research at the University that is propelling the University onto the national stage. She continued to say the research happening here is prompting research companies to flock to the University, looking for a place to stay and graduates to recruit.
One of the first featured students was Ryan Limbocker, a senior from Overland Park. Limbocker was awarded the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship last year for his research on the mechanisms in the neurodegeneration progress in post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment and Huntington's disease. He is working to learn how neurotransmission is affected by these diseases and how to repair the transmissions or reverse them.
"It validates how hard I've been working." Limbocker said. "It definitely helped me get the Gates Cambridge scholarship, which is the end goal."
The Goldwater Scholarship awards $7,500 per year to the recipient. Limbocker said it is aimed at students who've done exceptionally in the classroom and who've done significant research in the U.S. with the ultimate goal of attending graduate school. Limbocker will attend Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
"My ultimate reason for studying all these is because I have personal connections with these types of diseases," he said. "It's something that needs to be studied and better understood so we can one day try and prevent these ailments."
In addition to the focus on scientific research, the chancellor's report touched on ways to learn better and how the University will implement these plans. Interactive classrooms are working to create more interaction between classmates and professors. Ngina Nzwilli, a junior from Topeka, said she enjoyed her class that used the new interactive approach because it allowed her to better understand difficult concepts.
"You get to know your classmates more and hear everyone's different ideas," she said. "It gives you a better idea of what is going on in the classroom instead of just listening to your teacher talk and not necessarily knowing what is going on."
"My ultimate reason for studying all these is because I have personal connections with these types diseases."
RYAN LIMBOCKER Senior from Overland Park
Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas is also doing its part in generating funds for the University. According to the report, more than 530 scholarships and 30 new professorships have been created, and this is only the beginning.
Twenty-three of the 27 individuals who received funding from Frontiers: The Heartland Institute for Clinical and Translational Research are affiliated with the University, according to the report. This institute awards
pilot grants of $20,000 to individuals studying early-stage research projects.
The report goes on to explain how KU investigators are working to fight disease, create vaccinations and customize molecules with therapeutic promise. The Drug and Vaccine Discovery Institute here will work to save lives and boost the economy.
The report also tells the stories of the four individuals awarded with the Wounded Warrior scholarship. Timothy Hornick lost his sight while serving Iraq and is now pursuing a doctoral degree in therapeutic sciences and has a master's degree in social work from the University. Alex Cataudella is an undeclared freshman who was award the scholarship for her father who was killed in Iraq. Third is Carol Meza who has a master's in social work. She survived a roadside bomb in Iraq and the report says she plans to help veterans reintegrate into society. The final award recipient is Jennifer Thornton, the caregiver to her husband who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and a brain injury he sustained after two tours in Iraq. She is working toward her graduate degree in social work.
Gray-Little focused on the impact the University has on the state and the impact the students, professors and other university associates are having on the University. From the possibility of algae fueling cars, tomatillos fighting cancer and a bioschip detecting cancer to doctoral student Chan Kin Onn discovering a new species of frog, it seems the University has some enormous breakthroughs coming from its students and researchers.

China's online control points to wider clampdown
JACK CHANG Associated Press
Associated Press
BEIJING — Working out of a Beijing office full of video game designers from around the world, Chinese-born Pin Wang and his startup Substantial Games should be the face of the innovative, forward-looking China that the country's leaders say they want to build.
Pin and his team are attracting investors from across China while launching online games they hope will dazzle global eyeballs. But for several weeks, Pin's team has struggled with a decidedly down-to-earth problem that's hit countless companies nationwide: They're unable to access their email, shared documents and other online services blocked by China's Internet censors.
"Something that should take 15 seconds takes three or five minutes, and it screws with the way you flow or you work," Pin said. "We don't have the resources to move because we're a startup."
Chinese controls on information have tightened and loosened over the years, but Pin and others are feeling
Companies that have depended for years on virtual private networks, or VPNs, to get around Chinese online censors and access business tools have seen those channels squeezed or shut down since the start of the year.
Academics who have long helped Chinese authorities distill foreign ideas into public policy have been told to watch what they say, especially about so-called Western ideas that clash with party doctrine. And many foreign companies that were welcomed into China's booming economy have seen their offices raided by investigators and been forced to pay record fines in antitrust investigations.
what many say is China's most severe crackdown in decades on how people learn about the world around them, talk to each other and do business.
On the Internet, in college classrooms and in corporate offices, the Chinese Communist Party has raised the virtual wall separating the most populous country from the rest of the globe. Experts say it reflects a distrust of outside influences that the party thinks could threaten its control on society.
meet these criteria. I felt that we provided a safe and happy home for our children."
Fite is also concerned that the bill will lower funding for families that don't meet the specific criteria. Forrest Knox (R-Altoona), the author of the bill, originally included a provision to pay CARE families more, but told KCUR last week that wouldn't be the case. Knox

was unavailable for comment. Alice Lieberman, a professor in the School of Social Welfare, is also not in favor of the bill.
She said there is a shortage of families willing to become foster parents, and the bill is too restrictive.
"There is absolutely no evidence that children do better in extremely religious families.
or families that homeschool, or families in which parents abstain completely from alcohol," Lieberman said. "They do well in families where there is support and acceptance, regardless of religion or religiosity, sexual orientation, race and so on."
Fite didn't say if any foster children are currently enrolled at Hilltop, but he said there have been some at different points in time.
"I'm unsure of how this
would affect them due to the fact that this bill doesn't fully address how current families will be affected," Fite said.
As far as the future for foster children, Fite said he believes that good foster parents don't adopt for the money.
"They do it because it's something they're passionate about," Fite said. "They want to give a child a good home, no matter how short-lived that stay may be."
the bill could create another barrier for some children to find good homes.
"There may be problems in child welfare, but this bill doesn't solve any of them, that's for sure, and would exacerbate some that we already have." Lieberman said.

sues and I was probably 15 the first time I realized I had an anxiety disorder," she said. "There weren't the resources or the information I needed to help with that."
Today, Hagan's anxiety results in her taking what she feels is longer-than-average-time to reply to emails and complete her homework. She said she puts a lot of pressure on herself to make sure every little thing is right.
In those ways, Hagan is not unlike many students who struggle with mental health issues.
"Active Minds is very actively creating the resources that would have helped me a few years ago," she said. "I'm also very glad I became president because I want to help people know it's okay to talk about mental health."
Emily Lenherr, a junior from Windom and vice president of Active Minds, said that Hagan has helped spread the reach of the organization across campus by opening the door for more discussion.
"Rachel has been someone that has taken the reins and made [Active Minds] her own." Lenherr said. "She inspires me to be a great leader. Just the openness she has of getting this talk started about the stigmas of mental health and overcoming them is amazing. I think that's very indicative of being a great leader. She's really increased our awareness on campus and what we're doing on campus in our involvement."

I would love to see [Paul] Davis as governor over him, ideally, but that's not going to happen," Berger said. "At most, I could possibly see Brownback seeing this negative backlash and hopefully he'll rethink some of these actions, or he'll be deterred from doing similar things in the future."

Grief wracks village after beheadings in Syria
MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press
EL-AOUR, Egypt — This village of small mud alleys and brick homes is shattered by grief. Women draped in black are hoarse from screaming. Men sob in silence, at times shaking their heads as if to ex-
pet the horror from their minds. Just last year, 13 young men from el-Aour, a Christian-majority farming community in Egypt's Nile River Valley, traveled to neighboring Libya, among the tens of thousands of impoverished Egyptians seeking work there.
But they became victims of Libya's chaos. They were among 21 Christians dragged off by militants in December and January. After nearly 50 days knowing nothing of their fate, their families on late Sunday saw their monstrous, videotaped last moments: The 21, wearing orange jumpsuits, were marched onto a Libyan beach, forced to kneel with a masked, knife-wielding militant standing behind each, and then beheaded.
On Monday, Bushra Fawzi could not stop weeping. He saw his son Shenouda in the video.
The deaths touched everyone in the village's population of around 3,400.
"I had been looking for a bride for him," Fawzi gasped. "He is my first and eldest son. My first joy and happiness."
"I want his body back. If they dumped it in the sea, I want it back. If they set fire to it, I want its dust." And he wanted revenge — to "take hold of his
murderer, tear him apart, eat his liver and his flesh."
He and others in the village vented anger at the Egyptian government, saying it failed to help them. Many accusing it of ignoring them because they were Christian: "If there were Muslims among the 21, they would have been rescued. But no one paid attention," one woman screamed to reporters outside her house. President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi "did nothing to our sons because they are Christians."
After the video came out,
el-Sissi went on national -TV
"I want his body back. If they dumped it in the sea, I want it back. If they set fire to it, I want its dust."

and vowed vengeance, and hours later, Egyptian warplane struck Islamic State group targets in their main stronghold in Libya, Darna. In a show of support, el-Sissi visited the pope of Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Christian Church at the main cathedral in Cairo, and his prime minister, Ibrahim Mahlab, visited el-Aour on Monday, meeting with grieving families.
El-Sissi was elected last spring with overwhelming support from Egypt's Christians, who backed his ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi from power. Still, the minority community feels it remains
as second-class citizens, long complaining of discrimination. During protests in Cairo over the abduction of the 21 in Libya last week, demonstrators chanted, "The blood of the Copts is not cheap."
Libya, rich in oil and short on labor, has long been a magnet for Egyptians. Libya's 2011 civil war left much of the country in ruins, creating a boom for skilled foreign workers. Egyptians have jumped at the opportunity: they are the largest single group of foreign workers in Libya. They have continued to go even as Egyptians, and Copts in particular, have become targets for Islamic extremists flourishing in Libya's chaos.
The 21 were abducted in the central Libyan city of Sirte in December and January, most of them when militants stormed their housing compound, picking out the Christians from among the Muslims.
Fawzi said the last time he spoke to Shenouda before his abduction, his son told him he felt unsafe and wanted to come home but the road out of Sirtre was not secure. "I told him, forget about money and come back."
El-Aour on Monday seemed to scream with the pain of its people. Many had watched the video when it was aired in full on a private Egyptian TV station. Some residents gathered in the courtyard of its Virgin Mary Church, weeping and embracing each other. One man collapsed on the ground, screaming to God, "You are the avenger, You are the almighty."

Battle persists for Ukraine railway hub, despite deal
PETR JOSEK Associated Press
UHANSKE, Ukraine
LUHANSKE, Ukraine — Intense artillery exchanges between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists persisted Monday around a strategic town in eastern Ukraine — fighting that threatens to dash a cease-fire deal brokered by European leaders last week.
Under the cease-fire agreement negotiated by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France, the warring sides are to begin withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line Tuesday. That plan already looks at risk, with the rebels saying they are not satisfied that conditions are in place for the process to go ahead.
Associated Press reporters in Luhanske, a government-held town 15 kilome
ters (9 miles) northwest of the bitterly contested railway hub of Debaltseve, heard sustained shelling Monday. Some of the artillery appeared to be outgoing, suggesting it was being fired by Ukrainian troops.
Debaltsse, still in government hands, remains in contention despite the cease-fire. The rebels insist the town should revert to their control because they have encircled it. A loaded Grad rocket launcher was seen pointing in the direction of Debalsse, but it was not fired while AP journalists were present.
Speaking by telephone Monday night, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko expressed concerns about the continued fighting at Debaltseve and "also expressed the wish that the OSCE observers
have a free access to continue their work on the ground," an official in Holland's entourage said. The official spoke anonymously because they were not allowed to speak publicly.
Observers from the Organization from Security and Cooperation in Europe, who are supposed to monitor the cease-fire, said Sunday that separatists denied them access to Debaltsseve.
Despite the cease-fire that went into effect early Sunday morning, five Ukrainian troops were killed and 25 were wounded in the past 24 hours, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said Monday.
Separatist military official Eduard Basurin said in a televised news conference Monday that the government overnight lobbed artillery at Horlivka, a town under rebel control.

University should have smoke-free campus
Meg Huwe
@tmphuew
I lost my grandpa to lung cancer 15 years ago this March. We still feel his absence at all of our family functions. I know there isn't a day that goes by when my grandma doesn't miss him. He was a smoker, but I don't blame him or anyone from his generation for doing so. It was wartime, and the consequences of smoking cigarettes were hardly known. It was not until 1964 that the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service released the first report explicitly stating that smoking primarily caused lung and laryngeal cancer.
Since 1964, we have learned a plethora of information about smoking and its harmful effects. But even so, I take one step outside of Anschutz Library and inhale a lungful of smoke. I walk into my residence hall, but not before fumbling past those smoking outside of the main entrance.
According to a journal of Pediatric Psychology study in June 2005, "86.6 percent of students who smoke nicotine at least once daily are chemically dependent under DSM IV mental health standards." In other words: they're hooked.
Because of tobacco's addictive nature and harmful effects, University administrators should pass an initiative to make campus tobacco-free.
According to Tobacco Free Campus, having a 100 percent smoke-free campus reduces "tobacco use by preventing initiation and making it easier for smokers to quit." Removing a problem from sight doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but if we can prevent even a couple of individuals from starting to smoke, then a smoke-free ban would be a success. All movements have to start somewhere.
More than 480,000 deaths occur annually from cigarette smoking and an estimated 41,000 occur from secondhand smoke exposure, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When it's something that can be prevented, 480,000 deaths is way too many.
Tobacco Free KU is a new organization on campus devoted to helping the University achieve a tobacco-free environment. Students can join the organization, help promote it and attend events around campus.
Currently, 1,182 campuses are 100 percent smoke-free and of that number, 811 are tobacco-free, according to the University's website. Let's raise that number to 1,183 with the inclusion of our University.
We are not as young and invincible as we think. Our actions now will impact us both directly and indirectly in our futures. Smoking is a dangerous habit. College is not an excuse to start smoking. A smoke-free campus would be a good place to start.

Brian Williams false war story is human error
M. ROBERTS
Kanika Kshirsagar
@sneakykaniky
NBC Nightly News anchor and managing editor Brian Williams makes an announcement last week that he would be taking a brief hiatus from the television news program amid controversy surrounding a false story he told about being on helicopter that was downed by RPG fire during the Iraq War in 2003. Williams has since been suspended.
NBC news anchor Brian Williams has been the subject of scrutiny because of his false reports that he was in a helicopter struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, or RPG, 12 years ago during the Iraq War. But Williams deserves a break, as misremembering stories is common in everyday life.
After coming under fire following his appearance at a tribute to an Iraq war veteran at a New York Rangers game, Williams corrected himself, saying he was in a helicopter following one of the two that was actually hit.
However, this wasn't the first time he has told America this story. During a 2013 interview with David Letterman, Williams vividly described the experience without flinching. Williams, one of the most iconic news anchors of our generation, has Americans questioning his trust. Because of this, Williams has been suspended
for six months without pay, the New York Times reported.
In 2004, former USA TODAY reporter Jack Kelley resigned after admitting to fabricating large "portions of at least eight major stories." Before Kelley, there was Jayson Blair, Janet Cooke and Stephen Glass, among others.
To survive a war is undoubtedly a life-changing experience, and for Williams, it made for a
good story. However, Williams' situation is different from Kelley's because Kelley wasn't under the same stressful circumstances when he fabricated his stories.
War is traumatic and can cause intense, emotional memories to be altered unintentionally. Ford Vox, an Atlanta physiatrist specializing in brain injury services, said false memories are more common than
one may think.
"Though [Williams] wasn't in the Chinook that took a hit, he landed in that forward position with it," Vox said in an article he penned for CNN. "He formed bonds with the servicemen around him. He felt vulnerability and stress during that period."
While Williams' credibility is being questioned, it's important to consider the possibility his
story was an unfortunate, but innocent, memory error. Studies have shown it's easy to create false memories. In a 2004 study, researchers from Canada and New Zealand asked 45 undergraduates to remember events that happened during childhood. They asked the students to remember two events that were factual and one that was fabricated. Twenty-three randomly assigned subjects were also given their school classes' group photos from the years of the events they were to recall as memory cues. More than two-thirds of students who were shown the photos reported false memories.
If regular people can construct false memories, Williams can as well. While this is a setback for his career, he shouldn't be completely discredited for his other work. Trust between viewers and news reporters is crucial, but I have no doubt that he will work hard to regain America's trust.

PROJECTS GRANTED
Meet four art students who received research grants
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Four art students were just awarded $6,000 in interdisciplinary research grants to fund the projects of their choice. The students were required to submit applications with research proposals, recommendation letters and budgets to the School of the Arts Student Advisory Board. The review process looked for unique and creative projects that included a public component, like a performance or presentation.
PATRICK CLEMENT: SENIOR FROM PORTSMOUTH, N.H.
Project: "7786-Burroughs, Wm. Print Project and Exhibition"
What it is: A hybrid research project that includes research
and exhibition. It explores the creation and perpetuation of the public identity of author William S. Burroughs (a former Lawrence resident) through a series of unpublished portraits taken in Lawrence in 1983.
I'm an art student because...
I want to imagine stuff, then make it happen.
Major: Film & Media Studies Dream job: I want to share relevant stories with others.
SYDNEY PURSEL: GRADUATE
STUDENT FROM COLUMBIA, MO.
Project: "Baxoje Language Community Arts Project"
What it is: It promotes language learning within the loway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. My plan is to install signage on the reservation in the language to show how it can be incorporated into everyday use and then conduct a community project where members create their own signs in the language.
I'm an art student because... I believe that art has the ability to create change within our society. Art supplies new ways to share our concerns about topics that others might not normally be interested in.
Major: Visual Art
Dream job: I would like to work with the tribe in some way to preserve traditions, arts and languages.
SHALINN STARKEY: JUNIOR FROM OSAGE CITY
Project: "The Alma of La Paz."
there.
What it is: A mini-documentary about the historical and natural landscapes in La Paz, Bolivia, and mysticism of those sites and the people
I'm an art student because... there is nothing else I can be. Creativity cannot be taught; you either have it or you don't. To be able to share that creativity with others and change their state of being in some way is a very rewarding and powerful thing.
Major: Film & Media Studies and Creative Writing
Dream job: Cinematographer and a Documentary Filmmaker
MICHAEL WYSONG: SOPHOMORE FROM LARNED
Project: "Exploring Musical Theatre Song Cycles"
What it is: I will be researching the specific form of musicals known as song cycles while my writing partner, Brody Horn, and I write our own song cycle that will be
performed in May as a part of the Jayhawk Initiative for Student Theatre's season. I will be traveling to New York City to interview musical theatre composers about their song cycles, then draft what will become one of the first scholarly works on musical theatre song cycles.
I'm an art student because... I not only desire knowledge, but I also have the urge to create. Knowledge is nothing without practical application. As an arts student, I am constantly putting my new-found knowledge and techniques into practice.
Major: Theatre Performance Dream job: Ideally, I want to write musicals, but I also love performing. Perhaps someday I'll write myself a starring role.

weights.
"You feel good about yourself when you're strong," she said. "The fact you can do things you never thought you could do is going to empower you to make you feel good about yourself. I've never heard a woman who lifts weights say she doesn't like her body. A lot of girls that go to the rec are like, 'I need to lose weight.' When we lift weights, we're trying to hit goals, we're not just trying to be skinny, so I think there's a better feeling trying to be strong than skinny."
Another benefit of women weightlifting is the empowerment factor, Yeager said.
"The number one benefit is the weightlifting itself because a lot of women think they can't lift weights because they don't know how, because it's for guys or because they'll get buff," she said. "It's really showing women you can have the advantages of weightlifting. It's way better for you as far as building lean muscle versus just doing cardio."
Ashton Riffel, a freshman from De Soto, and her roommate attended their first class together last Thursday. Riffel said more women should try weightlifting because of the benefits she's noticed.
"I've been lifting for years, and I just don't understand why people always say lifting is going to make you so huge and they're only going to do cardio," Riffel said. "I think women should give lifting a try because it's so worth it and, honestly, it makes me feel better about myself. It's a stress relief."
him about her plan to start a new club at the University, and he offered his facility and coaching to do it.
"We've grown exponentially," Thatcher said. "We've gone from 30 in the backyard to over 200 to 250 now. Gabby came to me after shed done Olympic lifting here for a while and I was like, 'Absolutely, a bunch of ladies who just want to lift, you don't see that very often, so let's train them all.' I want them to be able to take this information wherever they go."
"Strength training your body is more attractive than just doing the elliptical and running and doing all that stuff," he said. "Strong is the new skinny."
Thatatcher said he recommends everyone try strength training because the benefits are outstanding and it's a better workout than focusing on cardio.
Yeager got the idea to name her club KU Babes from a gym in Miami called CrossFit Babes that she follows on Instagram.
The club meets on Tuesdays in the Robinson Center weight room from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Thursdays at CrossFit Lawrence from 8:30-10 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at CrossFit Lawrence from 1-3 p.m. CrossFit Lawrence is located at 815 East 12th Street.

"They don't make it nongirly," she said. "We can be girly and still lift weights. It makes me feel surprised and excited that so many women are wanting to break the norm of lifting weights and wanting to get better, physically and mentally. I'm really excited that they all want to be a part of this. It's just a bunch of women who want to do good and want to push themselves."

NBC investigates Brian Williams' past reports as speculation swirls
Kelly Cordingley
@kellycordingley
In this Nov. 5, 2014 file photo, Brian Williams speaks at the 8th Annual Stand Up For Heroes, presented by New York Comedy Festival and The Bob Woodruff Foundation in New York. Exaggerating one's personal experiences or career accomplishments to make them appear more interesting isn't uncommon behavior, but in the era of the Internet and particularly social media, it's not nearly as easy to get away with. Williams is currently serving a six-month suspension from anchoring the NBC Nightly News for embellishing his wartime combat experiences.
BRAD RARKET/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The downfall of one of news' most well-known and
respected anchors has made headlines since late January. Former NBC "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams retold a story he had embellished before about being in a helicopter over Iraq in 2003 when it was hit by an RPG, or rocket-propelled grenade.
As it turns out, a helicopter was hit on the same day Williams said it was, but he wasn't in it. After a veteran called him out the next day on Facebook, Williams came clean — kind of.
He said he was trying to pay tribute to a veteran who'd saved his life. Despite his attempts to make it seem like a lesser lie, NBC top executives began their investigation into the validity of Williams' other newscasts. On Feb. 10, Williams was officially suspended for six months without pay, and the next day his name was taken off the "Nightly News" broadcast for the first time since 2004, according to New York Daily News.
What will happen to Williams when the six-
Williams chalked up the incident that propelled him into the spotlight as a misremembering. If this was the only incident being called into question, it might be easier to believe that, but it isn't. The 2003 incident coming to light only opened the floodgates to an investigation to see if Williams potentially lied, embellished or misremembered in other newscasts.
month suspension ends is unknown, but according to The Washington Post, NBC top officials thought seriously about firing Williams before deciding on suspension.
Scientific studies have shown memories can be changed, and even false memories can be believed to the point they become real in the mind, according to a New York Times article.
If this was the only instance, it might be easy to believe Williams, a renowned reporter who has been on the front lines of breaking news for years, really just made a mistake.
But then his reporting on Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which won him a Peabody award, came under fire. Williams said he watched a dead body float by the Ritz-Carlton hotel in which he stayed. Yet, the hotel was in the French Quarter, most of which remained dry,
according to the Washington Post.
Another instance called into question regarding his Katrina reporting: Williams said in his documentary that he heard of a man committing suicide inside the Superdome, but when he retold that story, he said he had witnessed it.
But wait, there's more. Williams said he was at the Berlin Wall in 1989 when it fell, but according to Politico, an unnamed NBC source said Williams didn't arrive until the day after the wall fell. Williams also has said on his broadcasts that he flew into Baghdad with SEAL Team 6. Yet, according to the Huffington Post, U.S. Special Operations Command has said that is impossible as it does not allow journalists to fly with it.
It is the little things that aren't adding up. Williams certainly was in Iraq in 2003, and he did report on
important instances during the war. He was in Louisiana during the aftermath of Katrina, but maybe he didn't see all he said he did. Maybe he did fly in with SEAL Team 6, but was told not to speak of it. We cannot say exactly what Williams did or did not see. But we can say what is probable, and somehow, he has a knack for seeing the improbable, or some would say, the impossible.
Williams was trusted by millions of Americans. He anchored "Nightly News" for 10 years. And now, how do American news consumers know who to trust? It is so sad to see what is most likely over a decade of quality reporting now tainted. As a journalist, Williams was supposed to report the facts, not what he thought the facts were, and not what he wanted the facts to be. He should never have been the news.

'It 's My Party' singer-songwriter Lesley Gore dies at 68 of cancer
Associated Press
MARK KENNEDY
NEW YORK — Singersongwriter Lesley Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 at age 16 with her epic song of teenage angst, "It's My Party," and followed it up with the hits "Judy's Turn to Cry," and the feminist anthem "You Don't Own Me," died Monday. She was 68.
Gore died of lung cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, according to her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson.
"She was a wonderful human being — caring, giving, a great feminist, great woman, great human being, great humanitarian," Sasson, a jewelry designer, told The Associated Press.
Brooklyn-born and New Jersey-raised, Gore was discovered by Quincy Jones as a teenager and signed to Mercury Records. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a degree in English/American literature.
Gore's other hits include "She's A Fool," "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," "That's the Way Boys Are" and "Maybe I Know." She co-wrote with her brother, Michael, the Academy
Award-nominated "Out Here On My Own" from the film "Fame."
She sang at the 1964 T.A.M.I. Show in Santa Monica, California, alongside future Rock and Roll Hall of Farmers like the James Brown and the Rolling Stones. Gore also played Catwoman's sidekick in the cult TV comedy "Batman."
In a Facebook post, songwriter Neil Sedaka, who attended Gore's Swet 16 birthday party, shared his thoughts: "She was a great
In the 1990s, Gore cowrote "My Secret Love" for Allison Anders' film "Grace of My Heart," released in 1996. A couple of years later, she appeared in "Smokey Joe's Cafe" on Broadway. Gore had been working on a
person and a phenomenal talent, who had opened for me on many occasions. She recorded a few of my songs ("Magic Colors" and "Summer Symphony") and was a great songwriter in her own right. I'm glad I had the chance of knowing her."

In 2005; she released "Ever Since," her first album in 30 years, but was sure to revisit older hits in front of fans. "If I've learned anything in this business," she told The New York Times that year, "how stupid would it be not to do 'It's My Party' when people come to hear it?"
She officially came out to the public when she hosted several episodes of the PBS series, "In The Life," which dealt with gay and lesbian issues.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Gore turned "You Don't Own Me" into an online video public service announcement demanding reproductive rights which starred Lena Dunham and Tavi Govinson, among others
In the last few years, she performed at Feinstein's at the Loews Regency in New York and, along with Ronnie Spector and LaLa Brooks, headlined the "She's Got the Power" concert outdoors at Lincoln Center in 2012.
.
In addition to Sasson, Gore is survived by her brother and mother, Ronny. Services will be held on Thursday at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home on Madison Avenue.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will the women's basketball team make it to the Big Dance?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
"YES"
It's unbelievably difficult to say at this point in the season, with the Jayhawks sitting at 4-9 in the Big 12 and .500 overall, that they even have the slightest shot at the Big Dance this year.
However, this is one of the most interesting cases in Kansas women's basketball history.
Normally, you see a team at 500 and nine losses in conference and it looks like the farthest they can go is the NIT
But Kansas isn't a normal team, and this is not a normal situation. The Big 12 is by far the best conference in the country, and considering four of those losses are to No. 3 Baylor and former No. 3 Texas, it's hard to say this isn't a good team even with their record.
The Jayhawks also boast wins over tournament-bound Iowa State and a then No. 10 California team. That particular win was by 23 points, and they held the supposedly potent Cal offense to 39 points, the fewest any team has scored against Kansas this year.
+
Kansas also has wins against
Georgetown and Temple in their nonconference schedule
schedule. The toughest game is Oklahoma in Norman, who has already defeated Kansas by 12 earlier this year.
But wins against TCU, Oklahoma State and Kansas State are certainly not beyond the pale, especially as senior leaders Chelsea Gardner, Natalie Knight and Asia Boyd begin to realize their college careers are about to come to an end.
The reality of the situation is Kansas is playing close games since students returned from winter break on Jan. 19. After that break, the Jayhawks went on a winning streak, beating
"ULTIMATELY, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE FOR KANSAS, WHICH HAS PLAYED ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT SCHEDULES IN ALL OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL."
Texas Tech, West Virginia and Iowa State.
There are very few bad losses on the schedule. They lost a close one to West Virginia (15-10) in Morgantown. And they went down to TCU (14-10) at home, by 17.
If those are your worst losses, and they're conference losses to opponents over 500, the committee has a history of overlooking those losses if the wins exist. And that's exactly what needs to happen for Bonnie Henrickson's squad.
They will have to win out in the remainder of their
Ultimately, it's all about the strength of schedule for Kansas, which has played one of the most difficult schedules in all of college basketball. Its quality wins over Iowa State and Cal overshadow their losses to TCU and West Virginia, and a strong showing in the end of the season will surely be enough to force the committee's hand.

"NO"
Nick Couzin
@Ncouz
W while coach Bonnie Henrickson has done a
phenomenal job in her time at Kansas, with the way the second half of their season has gone, I don't see the Jayhawks making the tournament come March.
Kansas had a promising start to the season that included a huge 62-39 nonconference victory against No.10 California on Dec.5.
But then the Big 12 confer-
winning four of their next five with their only loss coming in Waco by nine points.
Ever since the Jayhawks dug themselves in a hole by losing their next three games to Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Texas, this puts their current win/loss total at a .500 record of 13-13.
That's when the Jayhawks started to make a short-lived case for the Big Dance.
That record likely won't cut it for an invite to March Madness. Kansas' home record is 11-5 and they have a couple of good wins and close losses to good teams, but those are the only advantages the Jayhawks
"A.500 RECORD OF 13-13 RIGHT JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TO MAKE A GOOD CASE TO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE."
ence play came around and the table started to turn in the wrong direction for this Kansas team. The Jayhawks lost their first five games in the conference season. All but two of those games, Kansas State and Baylor, were double-digit losses for Kansas.
have to fall back on. That just doesn't cut it.
Besides the Jayhawk "Big 3" of seniors Gardner, Boyd and Knight. this team is very young and has a lot of promise for future post-season success. This team has the best freshman point guard in the nation right now with Lauren Aldridge who can run this offense like no one else can.
Then Hendrickson and her squad started to go on a run
What's even more upsetting is preseason All Big 12 scoring and rebounding leader Chelsea Gardner along with Natalie Knight and Asia Boyd won't see postseason play in their final year of running up and down the Allen Fieldhouse floor.
This young team also consists of two other freshmen, Tereill Bradley and Chayla Cheadle, as well as sophomores Jada Brown, who has been in the starting lineup as of late, and Caelynn Manning-Ellis, who has been a great scorer off the bench who has given Chelsea Gardner some much-needed rest.
With just three girls on this team averaging in double-digit scoring (16.3 ppg for Gardner, 12.0 ppg for Knight, and 10.2 for Boyd) and those three being the lone three senior veterans on the team.
The layhawks needed more help this season and the only way they make the NCAA tournament is by winning the Big 12 tournament. A .500 record of 13-13 right just isn't enough to make a good case to the selection committee.
Westbrook has 41, West edges East in All-Star Game

NEW YORK — Mixing Broadway and basketball, this NBA All-Star Game was a West Side Story.
RUSSELL
WKS
Russell Westbrook scored 41 points, one shy of the All-Star record, and the Western Conference beat the East 163-158 on Sunday night in the highest-scoring All-Star Game ever.
The Oklahoma City speeder had a record 27 points by halftime and closed out the scoring with two free throws, falling one point shy of Wilt Chamberlain's 42 points in the 1962 game. He was voted the game's MVP at Madison Square Garden.
KATHY WILLIENS/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The NBA's return to New York showed off everything about the Big Apple, and by the time Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" played after the game, it was clear Westbrook was king of the hill.

with a little more than four minutes remaining.
James Harden added 29 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the West, which built a 20-point lead in the first half and then pulled away after it was tied at 148
The combined 321 points surpassed the 318 scored last season, and the 48 three-pointers smashed last year's record of 30.
LeBron James finished with 30 points, but couldn't lead the East to the victory in his favorite NBA arena.
"Don't get no better, man. You play in the Garden in front of these fans," James said.
Harden's three-pointer snapped the final tie with 4:02 to play and Chris Paul followed with consecutive baskets. Westbrook's fifth three-pointer put it away at 158-149 with 2:22 to go.
"We just talk about having fun all game long and then at a certain point in the fourth quarter it's time to win," Paul said.
Atlanta's Kyle Korver made seven three-pointers and scored 21 points for the East, while Washington's John Wall had 19.
But right from the start, the players were sharing the stage. Christina Aguilera appeared from behind a giant big apple, and belted out some New York-inspired numbers to start the show, joined by the Rockettes.
Entertainment's elite were all over the arena, with players hobnobbing with Jay-Z and Floyd Mayweather near their courtside seats at halftime. But the biggest roar came for a star from another sport — politics.
President Bill Clinton, who
had a big night of his own at Madison Square Garden when he was nominated here during the 1992 Democratic National Convention, got a pair of loud ovations when he was shown during Queen Latifah's performance of the national anthem.
Players were quizzed during comedic skits on New York talk and terms, and fughed-daboudit, Pau Gasol had no idea what a stoop was. (Stephen Curry came close, comparing it to a porch — really it's the steps and landing leading to a building's entrance).
Pau won the jump ball against little brother Marc to begin the first All-Star Game featuring two sibling starters,

but for a while it looked as if that would be the East's only win of the night.
The West shot out to a 20-point lead, but the East chipped away and cut it to 83-82 before pop star Ariana Grande's halftime performance.
It was New York's first time hosting the weekend since 1998 and a rare journey to the north for the NBA, which has preferred to stage the festivities in the warmth of the South and West.
Even some of the NBA's most fashionable had to choose bundling up over dressing up, a concession to the frigid temperatures they faced during the weekend. But next year might be worse, when the game heads north of the border to Toronto.
Carmelo Anthony struggled to 14 points on 6-of-20 shooting for the East in what may have been his final game of the season. The Knicks star has been battling a sore knee for much of the season and may opt for surgery with the team owning the NBA's worst record.
But even the Knicks' misery couldn't dampen the spirits for this basketball-rich city. Players on the floor were surrounded by some of New York's hoops royalty, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Julius Erving. There was even time to celebrate the Knicks: Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley, Phil Jackson, Earl Monroe and Bernard King were honored during a break in the action.
Tim Duncan had one basket in his 15th All-Star Game, second only to Abdul-Jabbar's 18. Duncan's first was here in 1998, as was Kobe Bryant's.
Kansas lawmaker wants to legalize fantasy leagues
NICHOLAS CLAYTON Associated Press
Associated Press
The legislation submitted by Republican Rep. Brett Hildabrand of Shawnee differs with a decision by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, the state's gambling regulator, which said in August that private fantasy sports leagues meet the criteria of a lottery and are therefore illegal.
TOPEKA — Fantasy sports leagues would be legal in Kansas even though the state's gambling commission thinks otherwise under a bill proposed by a state lawmaker who would classify them as a game of skill rather than a lottery.
Under the Kansas Constitution, only the state is allowed to administer lotteries.
In fantasy sports leagues, players compete against one another by making up teams out of a pool of real athletes and tracking how well they play in their games. Each player is awarded a score based on the performance of their assortment of athletes, and leagues often award cash prizes to the best teams derived from entry fees.
Hildabrand said he was "shocked" by the commission's move because fantasy sports leagues are so popular. An estimated 40 million players participated in leagues over the last NFL season, and Hildabrand speculated that a number of state legislators were among them, possibly breaking state law without knowing it.
"We don't want to be making
criminals out of the average citizen of Kansas," Hildabrand said.
The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission did not respond to requests for comment, but following the backlash over the decision in August it said on its website that to its knowledge, "no agency at the state or local level is ramping up efforts to go after (fantasy sports league) participants."
A representative of the state attorney general's office declined to comment on the legal dispute or if any charges could be brought against participants.
Five states consider fantasy sports leagues illegal. Bills before the legislatures of three of them — Iowa, Montana and Washington — would legalize private leagues.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the last player from the Timberwolves to win the dunk contest?
A. Isaiah Rider in 1994
THE MORNING BREW
ESPN.COM
Zach LaVine rises above competition in one of the best dunk contest performances
In Saturday's NBA All-Star Dunk Contest, Minnesota Timberwolves rookie guard Zach
wolves rookie guard Zach LaVine showed the judges that the dunk contest is serious business for him. In the opening round, LaVine put up two perfect scores for a total of 100 points to move on to the second round.
LaVine's first dunk set the tone as he tossed the ball up in the air and put in a between-the-legs reverse dunk. Both LaVine and Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo received 50 points for their first dunks, but LaVine's second behind-the-back dunk is what demoralized Oladipo.
Sean Collins
@seanzie 3
Oladipo had a hard time finishing his dunks in the second round — he couldn't finish after three tries on one of them. LaVine may have gotten into Oladipo's head after the first round
and his frustration prevented him from completing his dunks.
What made LaVine's performance one of the best in NBA dunk contest history was his creativity as well as consistency. His dunks were clean and he put both of his first-round dunks in on the first try. In the final round, LaVine only needed 27 points
from the judges to beat Oladipo, but outscored him by 22 to win the final round.
LaVine has been known for his athleticism since he joined the league, and after his first dunk contest victory, there may be more to come in the future, especially with his confidence. ESPN asked LaVine if he could defeat LeBron James in a dunk contest. His reply: "I never go against my own talent, so I've got to say me."
Other great dunk contest performances include Vince Carter in 2000, Jason Richardson in 2003 and '04, and Michael Jordan in 1988 and '89. Putting LaVine up in that category is acceptable as there was no doubt that LaVine had won the contest after the first round.
Vince Carter's win in 2000. Carter's execution of the between-the-legs and 360-windmill dunks were unlike anything the dunk contest had seen before. Both Carter and LaVine had difficult dunks that were pretty to look at. If you have Andrew Wiggins going insane on the sideline after a dunk, you're doing something right.
1 Put LaVine's performance in the top two of all time along with
In the past few years the dunks have included props and shows during the dunk, such as Gerald Green blowing out the candle of the cupcake and Blake Griffin jumping over a car, but there were no props from LaVine, and he gave the crowd a memorable show, which is what makes him stand out. Expect LaVine to hold up a few more dunk contest trophies in the future.
Ellis named co-Big 12 Player of the Week after Baylor win
Edited by Emma LeGault
DAN HARMSEN
@UDK Dan
It's been an exciting, accolade-filled couple of days for one 6-foot-8 junior from Wichita.
After eclipsing the 1,000-point mark on Saturday in his team's 74-64 win over No.21 Baylor — only the 56th player in school history to do so — Kansas forward Perry Ellis was named the co-Big 12 player of the week Monday.
Saturday, Ellis would finish his impressive afternoon with 18 points as the Jayhawks continued their quest toward an 11th-straight conference title.
An undefeated week of Feb. 8 got coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks closer to their annual goal: a Big 12 Championship. During that week of play, Ellis led the charge, averaging 16 points and 7.5 rebounds in Kansas' victories against Texas Tech on the road and Baylor at home. In those two wins, Ellis shot 52.2 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line.
"I've had high expectations for him from day one," Self said of Ellis after the win Saturday. "I'll say he's gotten close to where we thought he could be"
As for the point total, Self says that if Ellis stays the full four years, he could see his forward finishing his career
as one of the top-15 scorers in the school's history.
"It was a great accomplishment." Ellis said Saturday. "I'm just blessed to be in this position. It's really an honor and feels great."
As for the other accomplishment — the conference's best player — it's the second time this season Perry Ellis has won the weekly award. The last time he won it was on Dec. 1, following wins against Rider, Rhode Island, and Michigan State. Ellis is the only Jayhawk to win the award this season, but both Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre (twice) have won the conference's Newcomer of the Week award.
"It was a great
accomplishment. I'm just blessed to be in this position. It's really an honor and feels great."

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
In similar fashion to the Baylor game, Kansas fell behind early against West Virginia, but they battled back, thanks in part to the effort from sophomore guard Frank Mason. Mason scored approximately 30 percent of the team's points in the first half, and the Jayhawks went to the break trailing the Mountainees by just three points despite really not playing that well at all.
2ND HALF
In the second half, Bill Self made the call to bench freshman forward Cliff Alexander, and the Jayhawks suffered on the boards. The Jayhawks were outrebounded 11-3 on the offensive glass in the second half, which was crucial as the team lost by just one point. Junior forward Perry Ellis really took over down the stretch, scoring 15 of the team's 31 points in the final period.
.
GAME TO REMEMBER
For much of the night, Perry Ellis was dynamic. He scored a team-high 19 points, adding five rebounds in 32 minutes. Ellis did miss the potential game-winner at the buzzer, but far and away, he and Mason were the best Kansas players on the court for most of the night.
Perry Ellis
GAME TO FORGET
A. R. E. A.
For the fourth game in a row, freshman guard Devonte' Graham came out and really laid an egg. The backup point guard had no points or assists, and looking back at his last four games, he has two total points on 0-of-7 shooting, with three assists to six turnovers.

UNSUNG HERO
ALEXANDER
Frank Mason didn't receive a lot of credit following the game, but he was absolutely fantastic. The sophomore had 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, adding two rebounds, two assists and a steal, while committing just two turnovers against a West Virginia team that forces more than 20 per game.

REWIND A look back at Kansas' game against West Virginia | PAGE 9
COMMENTARY
Though the front on the NFLs domestic violence issues has
settled and is quiet for now, it may not stay that way for long.
Last Monday, charges against Panthers impending free agent Greg Hardy in a domestic violence-related case were dropped after alleged victim, ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder, reached a settlement with Hardy.
Investigation into Greg Hardy will prove crucial
Those charges allegedly involved the 6-foot-4 defensive end throwing Holder into a bathhub, pulling her back out by her hair, threatening to kill her and break her arms, choking her, then thrashing her onto a couch with multiple assault rifles on it.
The court was unable to proceed after it could not locate Holder, even when it went to "extraordinary measures", including surveillance and calls to family members. The court's "extraordinary" search was fishy, as a quick Facebook search placed her in Denver and New York city in December. Hardy's settlement with Holder is in question as well.
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Originally, Hardy was found guilty before a judge last summer, but was later granted a second trial before a jury on appeal. While he waited for his second court date, he was initially allowed to play, but when the Ray Rice situation blew up, he was retroactively placed on the exempt/commissioner's permission list. A few weeks after, Holder did her "disappearing" act.
- the suspension could be extended.
Although Holder has stayed silent, the NFL must make a clear effort to dig up the truth in the case. If the league does that, it will positively influence public perception of the NFL in dealing with domestic violence, furthering its efforts to reinvigorate the NFL's shield.
Regardless of whether the NFL decides to punish Hardy further, it needs to do its due diligence in looking into the case. If the NFL finds reason to believe Hardy is guilty — as he was in his initial trial — they will have to take action.
By rule, the NFL could still pass down a six-game suspension, but if the NFL deems Hardy's case possesses "extenuating circumstances" – which could be true if Holder's claims are confirmed
Edited by Valerie Haag
The NFL's decision on Hardy will set an outline for how the league will deal with domestic violence-related cases in the future under the new player conduct policy. Though Hardy missed 15 games on the exempt/comissioner permission list, he wasn't necessarily "suspended". All of this is new ground, and, because he was punished before his trial was completed. Hardy is the guinea pig.
LAST-SECOND LOSS
West Virginia defeats Kansas 62-61 in final seconds
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
Nine times out of 10, junior forward Perry Ellis converts an easy fast break layup with defenders at his back. But Monday night was that one time.
All season long, one of Kansas' major weaknesses has been handling full-court pressure, while its strength has been knocking in threes. Unfortunately for coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks, West Virginia plays 40 minutes of full-court press defense. But much to Self's delight, the Mountaineers sit dead last in the Big 12 in three-point shooting defense.
With 8.3 seconds to play, West Virginia's Juwan Staten ran the length of the floor and knocked in a layup to give the Mountaineers a 62-61 lead. Ellis' missed field goal at the other end secured a victory for West Virginia.
Leading the Big 12 in three-point percentage entering the game, the Jayhawks were able to convert on only one three-point basket in the first half. The second half was a completely different story for Kansas, as it converted on its first three threepoint attempts, helping the Jayhawks on a 10-0 run.
With minutes to play in the game, Ellis' ability to score in the paint allowed the jayhawks to trade buckets with the Mountaineers. Ellis had a strong outing, despite his large miss, scoring 19 points on 7-15 shooting.
Junior forward Jamari Trayler was in large part responsible for
Kansas' adaptation to the Mountaineers' press. Traaylor started the game on the bench, but played 26 efficient minutes, earning a second-half start.
Traylor's ability to spread the floor and hustle kept both himself and Kansas in the ballgame. The forward's impact cannot be measured in the box score, but his constant energy led to easy buckets and secure defense for Kansas.
Early in the first half, Kansas' offense could not operate, and West Virginia got off to an 11-point lead within the first 11 minutes of the game. In the first half, the Jayhawks committed nine turnovers, but were able to limit the Mountainers to only nine points off those turnovers.
West Virginia was able to fight off Kansas' comeback and spark a comeback of its own. Staten led the way with 20 points on 9-18 shooting with four assists. Staten has struggled for the Mountaineers at the end of games, but came up huge for West Virginia, as it defeated Kansas in Morgantown, W.Va., for the second straight season.
Edited by Emma LeGault
Sophomore guard Frank Mason III had a bounceback game after one of his worst outings of the season against Baylor. Mason finished with 18 points on 7-13 shooting, including three three-pointers.
Next up Kansas will face TCU at home on Feb. 21. Kansas defeated TCU on Jan. 28 in Fort Worth 64-61.

Currently on a three-game losing streak, Kansas (13-13, 4-9) begins a two-game road trip this week, starting off with a trip to Fort Worth, Texas, to take on TCU (14-10, 6-7) tonight.
Both teams met in Lawrence on Jan. 14, with TCU pulling out an 80-63 win.
The Big 12 race for positions three through 10 are getting interesting with just over two weeks left of the regular season. Eight teams are separated by just two games in the standings. TCU is in a three-way tie for third, two games up on tenth-place Kansas. Kansas sits one game behind a tie for sixth place, which includes Texas, Kansas State, West Virginia and Texas Tech.
Like the Jayhawks, the Horned Frogs have also lost their last two games; on Wednesday at Kansas State and on Saturday at Oklahoma.
"We need to take care of the ball. We turned the ball over a bunch against them here," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Our effort to the glass has to be efficient, they are small but fast."
TCU is ranked last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, allowing 68.9 points per game,
while Kansas ranks seventh
in the Big 12, allowing 61.4
points per game.
Leading the way for TCU is junior guard Zahna Medley, who ranks fifth in scoring in the Big 12, averaging 15.3 points per game. Junior forward Veja Hamilton is also in the top 15 in the Big 12 scoring, ranked 14th averaging 11.5 points per game.
Kansas senior forward Chelsea Gardner still sits in third in the conference averaging 16.3 points per game. Senior guard Natalie Knight after making her way into the 1,000 point club, ranks 11th in the Big 12 averaging 12 points per game.
"I think we have to fight all 40 minutes and not let up," Gardner said. "We need to have a lot of energy to start out the game."
Kansas last won at home on Feb. 4, beating Texas Tech 71-67. Out of Kansas's four wins in conference play, two of them have come on the road.

Student Se assault tra
Students disciplined in sexual assault cases by the University would have a notation placed in their academic transcripts under a new policy proposal that student government leaders will consider Wednesday night.
The practical effect of this proposal would be that other universities would know if a student applying for transfer or graduate school had previously been suspended or expelled for non-academic misconduct, including sexual assault. Currently, student files at the University do not include mentions of non-academic misconduct, according to KU's online policy.
ABBY WALSH@ahhwwalsh20
Student Senate committees are scheduled to discuss a resolution encouraging the Kansas Board of Regents to adopt the new notation policy, which was developed in response to concerns about how the University handles sexual assault. The policy would apply to all Kansas universities under KBOR control.

The main focus at our monastery is on the Buddhist philosophy. We used to spend four, five hours a day debating the Buddhist philosophy. In the early morning, we have to memorize the root text, and go to the classes, and hear a lot of different commentaries on that root text, and we have to debate it. We are debating it because the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha, said "Do not accept my word, what I have taught, because of reverence. You should analyze it and debate how the goldsmiths used to analyze gold in the ancient time, by cutting and scratching, and know that it is a pure gold. That, there, is how you should analyze my word. And if you find it suitable, then you can take it. Otherwise, you can discard it."

COMMENTARY Investigation into Greg Hardy will prove crucial
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Though the front on the NFL's domestic violence issues has settled and is quiet for now, it may not stay that way for long.
RockChalkLiving.com SEARCH DON'T SETTLE STUDENT'S PREMIERE HOUSING SITE
Last Monday, charges against Panthers impending free agent Greg Hardy in a domestic violence-related case were dropped after alleged victim, ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder, reached a settlement with Hardy.
Those charges allegedly involved the 6-foot-4 defensive end throwing Holder into a bathhtub, pulling her back out by her hair, threatening to kill her and break her arms, choking her, then thrashing her onto a couch with multiple assault rifles on it.
The court was unable to proceed after it could not locate Holder, even when it went to "extraordinary measures", including surveillance and calls to family members. The court's "extraordinary" search was fishy, as a quick Facebook search placed her in Denver and New York city in December. Hardy's settlement with Holder is in question as well.
Originally, Hardy was found guilty before a judge last summer, but was later granted a second trial before a jury on appeal. While he waited for his second court date, he was initially allowed to play, but when the Ray Rice situation blew up, he was retroactively placed on the exempt/commissioner's permission list. A few weeks after, Holder did her "disappearing" act.
- Edited by Valerie Haag
The NFL's decision on Hardy will set an outline for how the league will deal with domestic violence-related cases in the future under the new player conduct policy. Though Hardy missed 15 games on the exempt/commissioner permission list, he wasn't necessarily "suspended". All of this is new ground, and, because he was punished before his trial was completed, Hardy is the guinea pig.
Although Holder has stayed silent, the NFL must make a clear effort to dig up the truth in the case. If the league does that, it will positively influence public perception of the NFL in dealing with domestic violence, furthering its efforts to reinvigorate the NFL's shield.
Regardless of whether the NFL decides to punish Hardy further, it needs to do its due diligence in looking into the case. If the NFL finds reason to believe Hardy is guilty — as he was in his initial trial — they will have to take action.
By rule, the NFL could still pass down a six-game suspension, but if the NFL deems Hardy's case possesses "extenuating circumstances" - which could be true if Holder's claims are confirmed
the suspension could be extended.

Student Senate to vote on sexual assault transcript notation policy
SALA SANT JOANETTA
Angela Murphy and Emma Halling address questions during a Student Senate meeting on Feb. 4. Student Senate will consider a proposal that will students' transcripts who have been disciplined in sexual assault cases.
ABBY WALSH
@abbywalsh20
Students disciplined in sexual assault cases by the University would have a notation placed in their academic transcripts under a new policy proposal that student government leaders will consider Wednesday night.
The practical effect of this proposal would be that other universities would know if a student applying for transfer or graduate school had previously been suspended or expelled for non-academic misconduct, including sexual assault. Currently, student files at the University do not include mentions of non-academic misconduct, according to KU's online policy.
Student Senate committees are scheduled to discuss a resolution encouraging the Kansas Board of Regents to adopt the new notation policy, which was developed in response to concerns about how the University handles sexual assault. The policy would apply to all Kansas universities under KBOR control.
Student Senate's Graduate Affairs Director Angela Murphy believes that this would be a tangible way to carry on the activism that's been happening on campus at the state level. Murphy is also co-chair of the chancellor's sexual assault task force, which was appointed to examine
how the University responds and prevents sexual assault.
"We can't directly affect national policy, but as a leadership institution in the state of Kansas, we can encourage a statewide policy that would reflect the climate that we have on KU's campus," Murphy said.
Not everyone believes this bill is a perfect fix. Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center an advocate for student's first amendment rights does believe that anyone
found guilty of a violent offensive should not have a clean record, and should also not be able to transfer without anyone knowing of their past misconduct. However, LoMonte does see potential problems with the language of the bill that Murphy wants to pass.
"It's clear that something needs to be done when it comes to incidents on the scale of sexual assault," LoMonte said. "But it sounds like 'non-academic' is going to be any type of behavioral
issue, no matter how slight. That becomes a judgment call as to whether there is some threshold of severity that shouldn't be anyone else's business."
LoMonte said that something like sneaking a beer into a dorm might not merit the same response as someone found guilty of sexual assault. He believes that KBOR would need to have a serious discussion as to whether or

Commissioners approve sexual violence memorandum
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
On Tuesday night, the city commissioner's council voted on the approval of a memorandum of understanding between the University and the city on sexual violence procedures and information sharing.
The council heard from KU Chief of Police Ralph Oliver and Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib who presented a brief overview of the memorandum to the council before they unanimously voted in favor of the partnership.
The memorandum is specifically between the Lawrence Police Department and the University's Office of Public Safety, which Khatib said have always maintained a great working relationship.
"It basically spells out that we agree that we have mutual interests both from the criminal side of investigating what happened and also from the administrative side of the University in ensuring a safe school environment free of harassment for the victim." Khatib said. "So in those situations
where the victim allows, we will communicate that information."
The agreement was drafted by city officials and KU administrators who began talk of a written partnership in October of last year according to documents shared with the city commissioners.
According to KU News, there does not appear to be any comparable memorandums between a university and local law enforcement.
"We looked at other communities across the nation, and we can't find any other MOUs like this between a university and local law enforcement related specifically to sexual violence," Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs, said in a statement. "As a community, Lawrence can be proud of the leadership role we are taking on this topic."
The memorandum also has a continuing agreement for the two parties to educate each other further about the investigative and administrative side of sexual violence investigations. For

Student Safety Advisory Board discusses safety app
KATHERINE HARTLEY
@kat hart9
At Tuesday's Student Safety Advisory Board (SSAB) meeting, the board further discussed their plan to implement the student safety app LiveSafe on the University's campus. However, because of concerns about planning and implementation from the Public Safety Office, discussion on this topic will be
tabled until the next meeting. The board plans to research the app more as well as find out how effective it has been since being introduced on Kansas State's campus.
They also moved to bring back the Campus Safety Fee, which was originally cut in 2009. SSAB will ask for either a $1 or $2 Campus Safety Fee charge for all undergraduates, in order to help fund campus projects that aim to keep
students safe. Now that the board has voted on it, the fee increase will go on to Student Senate fee review.
Pennie Liu, the All Scholarship Hall Council Environmental Chair, presented the board with a plan to repave the sidewalk that leads up to campus from the scholarship halls, and asked for funding for the project.

Tibetan monks create spiritual art at Union
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boee
At the Kansas Union this week, a traveling troupe of Tibetan monks are creating a traditional mandala sand painting as part of their exhibition "The Mystical Arts of Tibet."
The Cultural Programming committee of Student Union Activities brought the troupe to the University. The monks have been creating the sand mandala since Monday, and will be working on it through Thursday.
"One of their main goals is to make people knowledgeable about Tibetan culture and really keep it alive and spread it in North America," said SUA Cultural Programming Coordinator Sam Eastes, a sophomore from Pratt.
One of the monks visiting this week, Geshe Lodem, said his monastery, the Drepung Loseling Monastery, was originally based in Tibet until 1959. At that time, the Buddhist spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama challenged the Chinese Communist regime that occupied Tibet. As a result, the Dalai Lama was exiled and approximately 80,000 people followed him into India.
"Since then, we have been exiled in India. The situation
"When those elements are in the outer or inner parts, there is a balance, there is a harmony;" he said.
This week, the monks have been creating a painting of colored sand, known as the Green Tara Mandala Sand Painting. Lodem said the monks are using the colors to represent the elements: white, yellow, green, blue, and red.
is that, in Tibet, it's very hard to practice and continue our traditions, language, religion and culture, so we try to preserve this in exile," said Lodem.
In the Malott Room at 7 p.m. on Thursday, the monks will give a lecture entitled "The Symbolism of the Sand Mandala" to further discuss what it represents in the Buddhist faith.
"By making the mandala, we believe that it will bring healing and harmony to this area and all the inhabitants," Lodem said.
Q&A WITH LODEM
Lodem has been a monk since he was 13 years old and just began to travel with The Mystical Arts of Tibet this month. He spoke to the Kansan about his life as a monk and how he learned about the Buddhist faith.

Greek task force meets to implement sexual assault prevention programs
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
Members of the KU Greek task force met Tuesday to discuss implementing programs to prevent sexual assault and abuse within the Greek community.
Members of the KU Greek task force hope to integrate several programs to prevent sexual assault, which they proposed on Tuesday.
SKYLAR ROLSTAD/KANSAN community
Greek community leaders from several chapters presented four sexual assault prevention programs to students to help prevent sexual abuse within both fraternities and sororities. Three out of the four programs could work for both fraternities and sororities.
One involved small groups within chapters and leaders would be required to attend six months of leadership training on how to speak to the community about sexual assault, while another required two years of training.
The Greek task force, formed in October 2014, will begin holding bi-weekly meetings this semester. Panhellenic president Johanna Hecht presented the fourth program,"Safe Sisters", which launched at University of Indiana in 2007 and is directed toward sororities.
The Greek task force will begin holding bi-weekly meetings this semester.
Each of the programs involved peer-to-peer discussion and interaction between chapters regarding the prevention of sexual abuse on campus.
"I would hope that it would improve the perception
that people who aren't in Greek life have about our community," said Stephonn Alcorn, director of leadership and development of the University Interfraternity Council.
Alcorn said being willing to have open conversations about improving the community "brings us ten steps forward." He hopes it shows that the leaders care about KU and the community. Interfraternity Council
Interfraternity Council leaders also identified obstacles that might come
with implementing a program that works. Colin Thomas, a leader on the task force last semester, recognized two possible problems if programs pick up speed: continuity and manpower.
"We will cross that bridge whn we get to it and, with the level of interest that we have," Thomas said. "I think that will be something that we can surmount without any real difficulty."
Thomas led discussion at last night's meeting even though he is no longer a
member of the Interfraternity Council.
"I had a role in starting this and I still am involved in it," Thomas said. "I don't want to leave anything undone."
Thomas said it is thrilling to see the administration doing such a good job.
"I think some of the issues with programming will be just having some painful conversations about our community, being real about what's going on, even though it might suck to admit," Alcorn said. "That's going to
be a big opposition we are going to face."
Alcorn said students from almost every chapter on the University's campus attended the meeting.
"We could get [a lot of people] on board and ready to get to work and as the meeting progressed, it showed that people were here for the right reasons," Alcorn said. "We want to make KU a better place for everyone. That starts with our community"

"The Geshe," which is what my name is; it's a title, then, from our monastery. In our monastery, the education is mainly focusing on Sutrayana. After we complete this education at our monastery, we go to one of the other two monasteries. Then, after that, then the monks may came back to the monastery and teach the young, maybe do some social or domestic work for the community, maybe teach in an Indian village. Some do teach at the universities and some, they practice for life, after completing the education. So it's an individual decision.

KANSAN: How do you learn how to make the sand painting?
LODEM: So, in our monastery,
the monastic education curriculum doesn't include the making of the sand mandala.
In some other monasteries, it is included. To do The Mystical Art of Tibet, we have a selection committee in our monastery,
there are a few elder monks, and they select from the monastery to do this and to perform.

and contingency fees totals $53,773. The SSAB said that they are willing to help fund a significant portion of this project, but are waiting to see if the Office of the Provost will split that cost. The matter was tabled and will be further discussed and voted on at the next meeting in two weeks.
While some may see problems with the potential bill, Murphy said this resolution has received support from other KBOR schools, and she expects many will pass something similar to Kansas' proposed bill. If the bill passes through committees and is then approved by the full senate at KU and other universities, Student Body President Morgan Said and other student body presidents will submit their transcript notation legislation to KBOR.

not each case would be handled the same way.
"It wouldn't really matter if we push this through our senate and convince our administration to put a notation on somebody's transcript, because if somebody is suspended or expelled from K-State for a non-academic misconduct and [their student affairs] doesn't have to do the same thing and then student transfers here, KU wouldn't know," she said.

Yellow tape surrounds a home in southeast Kentucky on Sunday where a family was found slain. A couple and a young girl were reportedly found dead in the home on Saturday. Police are investigating to see if the case is connected to the shooting death of a young man in Baltimore on Saturday.
ADAM BEAM/ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORBIN, Ky. - Friends and relatives of a 16-year-old boy killed in a shootout with police in Maryland struggled to understand how the faithful churchgoer and high school ROTC student could end up as the suspect in the slaying of his parents and younger sister in Kentucky.
Jason Hendrix was suspected of killing his family execution-style last week before fleeing his small Southern town to the East Coast, authorities said Sunday.
Saturday's shootout led police to search the teen's home more than 500 miles away in Corbin, Ky. There, authorities found the bodies of Kevin and Sarah Hendrix and their daughter, Grace, about age 12. Corbin Police Chief David Campbell said.
Police said they believe the victims were gunned down Wednesday afternoon, Campbell said. Jason Hendrix then fled in his parent's car, armed with four weapons and a backpack full of ammunition, Campbell added.
"Right now all the evidence points toward him as being the shooter," the chief said.
Police didn't know why the suspect decided to flee to the East Coast. The family had no relatives in Baltimore, Campbell said.
+
"We have no clue why he went up there," the chief said. Police also found a gas receipt showing that the teen had been in New Jersey on Thursday.
Baltimore County Police said the teenager shot and wounded a police officer Saturday after crashing the parent's green Honda Pilot into a silver sedan. At least six officers opened fire on Hendrix, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Maryland State Police said they initially sought to pull Hendrix over Saturday for a speeding violation.
Campbell said the teenager was angry at his parents for taking away his computer privileges days before the slayings. "The mother had talked to a co-worker and told her that he was really mad about that," the chief said.
The father, wearing a sport coat and tie from work, was shot twice in the head, Campbell said. He added that the mother was shot twice in the face and the girl twice in the head and once in the arm.
Jason Hendrix met up with friends at church that Wednesday evening and showed no signs of distress. "They said he was just like he usually is." Campbell said.
Family and friends in Corbin sought Sunday to understand the series of events, recalling a teenager known for his politeness.
Kevin and Sarah Hendrix were beekeepers who sold honey in the local farmers market, and Grace Hendrix was a middle school cheerleader. A spokesman for Union College in Barbourville confirmed Sarah Hendrix was a professor at the school.
Drew Mahan, the founding
pastor of Forward Community Church where the Hendrixes attended, said officers questioned him extensively about Jason on Saturday night after discovering the bodies. He described Jason Hendrix as a faithful member of his 3-year-old church, which holds services at a local movie theater.
Hendrix would arrive at the
theater every Sunday at 7 a.m. to help set up the church's equipment and was baptized at a service in December.
he's been an influence on my own kids. They love him."

Michelle Payne, a 30-year-old mother who lived across the street from the Hendrixes, said they were "your classic small town family," adding she had not seen the family since Tuesday night when Kevin was walking the family's dog.
The police officer who was shot was treated at the
University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and released Sunday, according to a statement.
Officials said the six Baltimore County Police officers who fired their weapons during Saturday's shootout will be placed on administrative status pending a review.

COURTESY OF THE ELGIN POLICE DEPARTMENT/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, 75, the longtime head of the Institute of Islamic Education in Elgin, III., was arrested Sunday and charged with sexually abusing a 23-year-old woman who worked at the school. Saleem is due to appear in Cook County bond court on Tuesday, Feb. 17 in Rolling Meadows, Ill.
Islamic school leader charged with sex abuse
MICHAEL TARM Associated Press
Dr. Mohammed Kaiseruddin, chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater America, speaks at a news conference as Jenan Mohajir, a founding board member of HEART Women and Girls, looks on Tuesday in Chicago. Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, the longtime head of the Institute of Islamic Education in Elgin, III, was arrested Sunday, Feb. 15 and is charged with sexually abusing a 23-year-old woman who worked at the school, authorities said Tuesday.
CHICAGO — The longtime head of a suburban Chicago Islamic school has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman who worked there, and a civil suit filed Tuesday accuses him of abusing that employee and three teenage students. The legal actions shed light on an issue that even many Muslims say is too often pushed into the shadows within their communities.
Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, 75 — who founded the Institute of Islamic Education and is regarded as a leading Islamic scholar, or imam, in the United States — is charged with felony criminal sexual abuse. Prosecutors said he abused the 23-year-old woman, an administrative assistant at the Elgin school, in a series of escalating incidents over months.
KICHIRO SATO/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"This place was ripe for abuse," Denny told a news conference.
The civil suit accuses Saleem of abusing that employee, as well as three female students at the school as far back in the 1980s. The lawyer in that case, Steven Denny, said Saleem took advantage of both the trust accorded to him as a religious leader and of the tendency of Muslims to remain silent on matters of sex and sexual abuse.
It took special courage, he added, for his clients to come forward within a culture that discourages even casual contact — never mind explicit sexual contact.
The suit says a fifth person was abused when he was 11 by a male staffer at the school, not Saleem. It accuses the school of failing to protect children, many of whom lived on campus. It asks for more than $1.5 million in compensation, saying the victims are psychologically scarred.
Defense attorney Thomas Glasgow said he talked to his client about the Elgin charges and that Saleem "categorically denies the allegations." He hadn't had a chance to speak to him about the lawsuit. No one answered the phone Tuesday at the school, which has students from grades six through 12 and is 25 miles northwest of Chicago.
Saleem, of Gilberts, was arrested Sunday, Elgin police said. Authorities started investigating after the woman contacted them in December.
During a Tuesday bond hearing, prosecutors alleged that a month after the woman started working at the school in 2012, Saleem started removing the religious veil from her face and came into her office to hug her. Over several months, prosecutors said, he would hug her and squeeze her buttocks and breasts over her clothes.
Last April, prosecutors say Saleem locked the door of the woman's office, lifted her dress, forced her to sit on top
of him, massaged her and held her down when she tried to get up. Prosecutors say they collected evidence.
The lawsuit says that when one female student told a teacher Saleem touched her inappropriately, she was told, "Saleem is an old man and old people do things like that — so just forget it"
Saleem's bond was set at $250,000 and he was ordered to have no contact with the accuser, her family or anyone under age 18. Glasgow said he expected Saleem to post bond later Tuesday. Saleem, who also had to surrender his passport, is due in court again March 10.
The chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater America, to which the school belongs, says he examined the facility's bylaws and found they granted Saleem almost absolute decision-making power. In light of Saleem's arrest, Mohammed Kaiseruddin said Islamic schools nationwide should rework their bylaws to allow greater oversight.
Nadiah Mohajir, director of HEART Women and Girls, which raises awareness about sexual abuse in the Muslim community, called Saleem's arrest "a wake-up call" that presented an opportunity to address a topic that's been taboo for too long.
At Denny's news conference, a statement from the 23-year-old woman called on Muslims to speak up about sexual abuse. She said, "I will no longer stay silent."
"The shame and stigma surrounding sexual abuse is even higher in Muslim communities, with its emphasis on purity and modesty," she said.
Kaiseruddin said the matter illustrated that Muslims were not immune to a problem that has plagued the Roman Catholic Church.
"We found out that Muslims are burdened by the same [issue] other faiths are burdened with," he said.

DRUG LEGALIZATION
PRO CON
Antidrug laws racist, violent and ineffective
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
Drugs — especially "hard drugs" such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines — are thought of as abhorrent substances, and for many legitimate reasons. There is no doubt that many drugs affect relationships and are harmful to the body. However, in my view, the systemic problems caused by drug criminalization dwarf the harm caused by the drugs themselves.
Antidrug laws actively undermine justice, as these laws result in the disproportionate jailing of minorities. According to the Drug Policy Alliance, minorities are "far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted, convicted and incarcerated for drug law violations than are whites." The Alliance also says that black people make up 37 percent of arrests for drug offenses, despite comprising only 14 percent of drug users. Beyond that, a black male arrested for possession is likely to spend roughly the same amount of time in prison as a white male would for a violent offense. If drug laws were eliminated, a prop of a racist justice system would be removed.
Antidrug laws also fly in the face of rudimentary economics. By making a broad swath of drugs illegal, the federal government creates a black market with exorbitantly high prices, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. As any microeconomics textbook
will tell you, high profits attract businesses to a market. In the case of illegal drugs, these "businesses" unfortunally tend to be violent and ruthless cartels.
What would happen if all drugs were legalized? Prices would plummet as the black market disbanded. An example of this can already be seen in the United States, where the growing wave of marijuana legalization has caused the wholesale price of cannabis imported from Mexico to collapse from $100 to less than $25 a kilogram, according to the Washington Post. Dramatic decreases in prices would dismantle most incentives for cartels to form and exist as production rapidly declined, as shown in Mexico with cannabis. Violence along the southérn border would also plummet.
The United States' War on Drugs has been an utter failure. Despite the federal government spending more than $51 billion a year to combat drugs, the National High School Senior Survey reports that 85 percent of high school seniors remark that marijuana is "easy to obtain." According to a 2010 article in the British Journal of Criminology, governments could be vastly more effective in combating drug use — and save money while doing so — by decriminalizing all drugs and funneling savings and new revenues into rehabilitation. An excellent case study of this would be Portugal, which pursued this very policy and saw drug prices collapse, usage decrease in adolescents and prison overcrowding ease.
The time has come to move beyond the elementary thinking of "just saying no" to drugs, and to instead say "no" to a racist, costly and counter-productive battle against the drug market.

Making hard drugs legal is unnecessary
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
The War on Drugs is not a new development; however, the support for the legaliza-
the support for the legalization of the drugs that the government has been fighting against has recently become a trendy epidemic. Since the legalization of marijuana, many have advocated for the legalization of all drugs in an effort to reduce crime and make drug use "safer." However, legalizing hard drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamines and heroin would hinder our society. The use of drugs, especially highly addictive ones, could collapse the framework of our society. If drug use became legal across the country, someone who takes drugs wouldn't be seen as someone breaking the rules, nor would they be seen as irresponsible. Why would anyone get to work on time, or even show up to work at all, when they could get high and forget that money even matters?
Cocaine-effects.com is a website devoted to the analysis of cocaine's short- and long-term effects on the human brain and body. At first glance it appears the use of cocaine boosts individuals' productivity, with the short-term side effects being increased energy and mental awareness. Cocaine seems like it wouldn't be a threat, and certain movies, like "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Blow," portray the drug as driving users' lives into a (tempo-arilly) better state.
However, this is the real world not a movie in which everyone is portrayed as Leonardo DiCaprio. Cocaine-effects.com also includes the long-term effects of cocaine use, which is where the real problems lie. These effects include irritability, restlessness, auditory hallucinations and mood disturbances. It doesn't take a doctor to see how the effects
of cocaine can easily inhibit and disturb an individual from doing normal, everyday tasks.
"JUST BECAUSE MARIJUANA HAS BECOME LEGAL DOES NOT RIGHTFULLY PAVE THE WAY FOR ALL DRUGS TO BE MADE LEGAL... TOO MUCH OF A GOOD HIGH COULD CAUSE OUR ULTIMATE LOW."
There are several other hard drugs that are just as dangerous, if not more, as cocaine. A 2014 Washington Post article titled, "100 Americans die from drug overdose each day. How do we stop that?" revealed that overdosing is the number one cause of accidental death in the U.S., "accounting for more deaths than traffic fatalities or gun homicides and suicides." These types of drugs are deadly, and addictive drugs such as these should not be made legal in our society for many reasons, but this reason alone should seal the argument.
Marijuana's intensity and effects are completely different than hard drugs'in comparison, and because they are so different, they should be treated as such. Just because marijuana has become legal does not rightfully pave the way for all drugs to be made legal. In our society, too much of a good high could cause our ultimate low.

RELEVING THE 20TH CENTURY
All-female 'Ghostbusters' is important

raul reig's all-female "Ghostbusters" reboot is now a reality. The new ghost-fighting team will consist of Melissa McCarthy, who has officially signed on to the project, along with "Saturday Night Live" alum Kristen Wiig and current "SNL"-ers Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The confirmation of a Ghostbusters reboot by director Paul Feig has many fans excited, and the subsequent announcement that the main characters would be an all-female cast has gathered even more support outside of the original fan base. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon were cast as the four leads, which will garner interest from a wide variety of viewers. However, the reactions of some disgruntled fans proves that an all-female Ghostbusters cast is exactly what Hollywood and the United States needs.
BuzzFeed did an article after the announcement featuring negative tweets from men about the female-centric cast of the reboot such as: "I'm ok with reversing course and doing female ghostbusters, but why do you need all four of them to be women?," "All female cast burns me out. A gender mixed team with a female lead wouldn't bug me but this?", and my personal favorite, "Only soccer moms and feminist bimbos
watch that trash."
The tweet reflects a larger, but less evident problem that sexism poses in our society. Women may have been granted the right to vote, run for office and other political rights, but society still undervalue women's abilities. Our culture is still very much androcentric, which is even more obvious with this tweet. The man who wrote this tweet is fine with allowing women to have the same rights as him, so long as he gets to choose what they are. But when it comes to
But the most striking tweet in the mix said: "Why are they remaking Ghostbusters with 4 women? I'm all for equal rights but come on!"
recreating a male-dominated franchise into a female-dominated one, equal opportunity is swept under the rug.
This problem also affects women in the workplace, particularly in Hollywood, which has come to the forefront of public conversation after the Sony hack revealed the scope of sexism in their company. However, sexism extends far beyond Sony. New York Times columnist Manohla Dargis said that, "by the end of this year, the six major studios (not including their art-house divisions) will have released three movies directed by women... The researcher Martha M. Lauzen, executive director of the Center for the Study
or women in Television and Film, found that in 2013. female characters made up just 15 percent of protagonists and 30 percent of all speaking characters in the top 100 grossing movies." Women make up half of the population of the world, yet they lack proper representation in the media. Women are second-class citizens in Hollywood. How these women are portrayed in movies, TV shows and music also shape our cultural attitudes, which in turn contributes to the backlash the concept of this reboot has caused.
their aesthetic visions and personal choices, and doubts about whether they can hack it in that male-dominated world. Dargis said.
"Sexism [in Hollywood] often works like a virus that spreads through ideas, gossip and stories about women,
Hollywood desperately needs more movies like the new Ghostbusters if we're ever going to progress. We need this movie to aid the movement away from a patriarchy that undervalues women's contributions to society.

Kanye launches shoe and clothing line

On Feb. 12, Kanye West debuted his highly anticipated clothing collection with Adidas. In November of 2013, West announced he had left his partnership with Nike and joined Adidas. Ever since, music fans and fashion enthusiasts alike have been looking forward to seeing what he would cook up.
The collection's debut show was held during New York Fashion Week, which was live-streamed in theaters across the world for those unable to attend the show.
The fashion show previewed many pieces for Fall 2015, including jackets, sweatshirts and various types of pants for both men and women. West also premiered a new song from his upcoming album called "Wolves," which features fellow Chicago emcee Vic Mensa and singer Sia. However, the most anticipated items that were officially revealed were the sneakers.

The Boost Low is a low-top with a cloth-like upper and a Boost sole. The shoe can be most easily compared to Nike's Roshe Run. The release date for the Boost Low is currently unknown.
"Eventually everybody who wants to get Yeezys will get Yeezys. Adidas has promised me that."
The Yeezy 750 Boost is a high-top sneaker that features an all-suede upper with a zipper on the side and a sole with Adidas' "Boost" technology. The shoe is extremely minimalistic, which makes sense considering how West has dressed over the past couple of years.
West is not new to designing sneakers. In the past, he's collaborated with A Bathing Ape, Reebok, Louis Vuitton and most notably, Nike. West's first sneaker collaboration with Addidas features two silhouettes, the

picked them up. During the release, West hand-delivered the coveted shoes to excited customers.
Despite the small quantities, West assures fans that anyone who wants the shoe will eventually get them.
"Just be patient, we'll make more Yeezys," West said. "Eventually everybody who wants to get Yeezys will get Yeezys. Adidas has promised me that."
"I went to Adidas a year and half ago," West said. "They offered to allow me to make an entire line and give me an office and all these things I wanted to do to create more."
West also seems to be extremely happy with his new partnership with Adidas.
This is only West's first collection with Adidas with the promise of future collaborations. It will be interesting to see what West does with all of the creative freedom that Adidas is apparently offering him. This collection is reminiscent of Kanye release of his first album, "The College Dropout," except rather than music as the form of expression, he's using clothes.

Bundle up, NOLA: Mardi Gras is cold
GERALD HERBERT/ASSOCIATED PRESS
JANET MCCONNAUGHEY Associated Press
Revelers play brass band music as they begin the march of the Society of Saint Anne Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans on Tuesday. Despite temperatures being near freezing, party-goers still made it out to the streets to celebrate the holiday.
NEW ORLEANS — If there was a theme for this year's Mardi Gras costumes in New Orleans, it was "Brrrrt."
With temperatures near freezing, almost everyone was bundled up. Some costumes were no more than a fake-fur hat topped with animal ears.
English's friend, Jon Farkas, wore a hat fashioned like a white, big-billed bird, its long, yellow legs dangling in front of his shoulders. "It's supposed to be a pelican," he said.
Because of the cold weather,
The crowd was thick along St. Charles Avenue, where the route of Zulu, the day's first big parade, merged with that of Rex, one of the most elaborate. Rex was followed by two long "truck parades" — floats built up from flatbed trailers and decorated by costumed riders.
A 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman fell from different floats in a truck parade Tuesday in suburban Metairie, the jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said. The man was in stable condition and the woman was expected to be treated and released, said Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the sheriff.
As Zulu passed, Ashley English said she was too cold to show off her costume.
"I have a corset on. You just can't see it," she said, pulling at the neck of her leather jacket. The corset was purple, she said, to go with her green and gold leggings.
Matching gray quilted jackets hid the gowns worn by young women on the "maids" float in the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club's popular parade.
Purple, green and gold were introduced as the colors of Mardi Gras in 1872, when a group of businessmen first crowned one of their own "Rex. king of Carnival."
Mardi Gras
tutus were worn over jeans and many costumes, such as clowns or animals, were baggy enough to cover sweat shirts.
Erin Buran of New Orleans wore a white jacket and feathery angel wings.
Revelers in glitzy costumes fed the streets of New Orleans on Tuesday for the annual Fat Tuesday bash, opening a day of partying, parades and good-natured jostling for beads and trinkets tossed from passing floats. The annual Mardi Gras parade marched on despite the cold winter temperatures across New Orleans.
"My angel wings have tequila in them," she said, showing the mouthpiece of a hydration backpack covered by the wings. She said she lost her halo Sunday.
GERALD HERBERT/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Just down a side street, a man was collecting admission outside a plywood cubicle labeled "BATHROOM." He and others at an RV repair shop had made a portable toilet of plywood, plastic buckets, and frequently changed plastic bags, which went into a nearby trash bin. It was $2 for men, $3 for women — or $10 and $12 for an all-day pass.
Why more for women? Toilet paper costs more money.
On Lee Circle, Wayne Encalarde sat in a pickup truck with a commercial portable toilet tied down in the bed. A big orange parking ticket was stuck behind one windshield wiper.
He said he parks there and is ticketed every Mardi Gras.
"It's worth it to have a bathroom for the kids," he said.
Partway down Zulu's route along Jackson Avenue, contractor Mike Cochran
and several younger men were giving away gumbo from the parking lot of a building under renovation.
"Our main purpose — other than feeding the multitudes — is making sure nobody climbs the scaffold," he said.

Doctor: Girl thought Slender Man character would hurt her family
Waukesha Police Detective Michelle Trussoni testifies during a preliminary hearing for two girls accused of stabbing a classmate to please the character Slender Man Monday at the Waukesha County courthouse in Waukesha, Wis.

WAUKESHA, Wis. — An attorney for one of two Wisconsin girls accused of stabbing their classmate to please horror character Slender Man tried to convince a judge Tuesday to move her case into juvenile court, arguing that his client is mentally disturbed and believed she had to kill to protect herself and her family from the creature.
Taking the stand during the second day of a preliminary hearing, psychologist Deborah Collins testified that she has interviewed the girl several times and concluded she honestly believes Slender Man exists.
“[Her belief] hasn't wavered and it's been unyielding to a rational perspective,” Collins testified.
Collins also testified that the girl told her she uses Vulcan mind control to keep negative emotions at bay and believes Harry Potter villain Lord Doldemort visits her when he's not away on business trips.
The detective went on to
A private detective working for the defense testified he discovered more than 60 drawings of Slender Man in the girl's bedroom. Many of the' sketches included notes such as "not safe even in your house" and "he is here always." One drawing depicted a girl lying on the ground and a person standing over her with the message "I love killing people" written over the figure.
say he found more than a half-dozen Barbie dolls in the bedroom that had been marked with Slender Man's symbol. Some were missing their hands and feet.
"I think we did a good job showing she believed (Slender Man) was real... across time and environment," defense attorney Anthony Cotton said. "She believed in Slender Man. She believed he would hurt the family."
According to court documents, the girls told detectives they had been planning to kill Peyton Leutner for months. They are accused of luring her to a park in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha on May 31 and stabbing her 19 times. Leutner barely survived; one

stab wound just missed her heart.
All three girls were 12 years old at the time of the incident. The two alleged attackers face one count of being a party to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in adult court. They each could face up to 65 years in the state prison system if convicted
to juvenile court, where she couldn't be held beyond age 25.
Police detectives testified on Monday that both girls believed they had to kill their friend and join Slender Man in order to protect themselves and their families from his wrath. Cotton is trying to use that to move his client
He contends that since the girl thought she was defending herself a charge of attempted second-degree intentional homicide is more appropriate. Since the girl is under 18, she would face that count in children's court.
Prosecutors countered that a preliminary hearing — the stage of Wisconsin's legal process where a judge decides whether enough evidence exists to move to trial — isn't the proper venue for such an argument. Judge Michael Bohren declined to rule on anything Tuesday, asking all sides to submit briefs. He promised to issue a decision on March 13.

if they play each other come tournament time. After winning the Big 12 tournament last year, the Cyclones solidified themselves as the Jayhawks' biggest threat, especially in the Big 12 tournament.
Kansas and Iowa State have split the meetings this season. The Cyclones won in Ames, Iowa, 86-81, but the Jayhawks were able to pull away late and beat the Cyclones 89-76 in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Cyclones' strongest attribute this season has been their ability to shoot, especially from deep. As a team, they have shot 49.1 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from three-point range.
They are capable of putting up 80 points per game, making them 10th in the nation. They are the offensive juggernauts of the Big 12, and move the ball efficiently with 17.4 assists per game — the most in the conference, and fourth in the nation. In order to stop a team that also holds the ninth-best
field goal percentage in the nation, the Jayhawks and other Big 12 teams must play stellar defense and hope that the Cyclones will miss some outside shots.

even after Monday's loss to West Virginia — but the Cyclones are only one game behind the Jayhawks. Iowa State shoots the ball well from deep, but Kansas has shot better at 40.6 percent. The boys in crimson and blue will have to continue shooting well in order to give themselves a chance at handling the Cyclones in the tournament.
Another issue for the layhawks will be handling junior forward Georges Niang and junior guard Naz Long. Niang shoots 14.7 points per game with 5.4 rebounds, and at 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, he will be a lot to handle. Both Long and Niang shoot exceptionally well from beyond the arc (41.5 percent and 39.7 percent,
from beyond the arc, the Cyclones' forwards also shoot well, creating separation on the offensive side of the ball. This would pose a nightmare to guard.
Other threatening teams in the Big 12 to the Jayhawks are Baylor and Oklahoma, but the firepower of the Cyclones makes them the deadliest in any single game. Iowa State has had a few games where it didn't shoot well, and that would hold the Cyclones back from giving Kansas a good game. However, don't expect the Cyclones to have another poor outing like they had against Texas Tech. Come tournament time, the Cyclones will have a strong chance at repeating their tournament title.

With five games remaining on the Big 12 slate, the Kansas basketball team holds a one-game lead over Iowa State for first place in the conference. At the risk of speaking too soon, it will be hard for the Jayhawks to not clinch at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title, regardless of what happens in the next five games.
Looking ahead, Kansas' next challenge will be the Big 12 tournament. After last
2004 and 2004-2005, are the only back-to-back years. In his last nine seasons, every year that his team has lost in the Big 12 tournament, they've come back the next year and won the whole thing.
The peak of his conference tournament success is marked by Kansas' three straight tournament titles from 2006-2008.
But this year may very well be the best the Big 12 has been since conference creation in 1996. Like the regular season, the tournament will be no cakewalk. The team that
"THE LONGHORNS POSE THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE JAYHAWKS BECAUSE THEY PRESENT THE LARGEST MISMATCH."
season's disappointing 94-83 semifinal loss to Iowa State, coach Bill Self will be striving for a different result.
A brief history of Self's conference tournament success in his 11 seasons at Kansas can be summed up in one statistic: only once has he gone two straight years without bringing home the Big 12 tournament crown
His first two seasons, 2003-
Kansas will especially need to watch out for in the tournament is Texas.
Kansas will see Texas once more before the tournament, welcoming them into Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 28. After a 75-62 Jayhawk victory in Austin, the Longhorns will be hungry for a win. I don't see them grabbing a victory in Lawrence, but come tournament time, they will be
a difficult matchup.
Texas' height will be a problem for Kansas, with the four towers they have as forwards: 6-foot-10 junior Prince Ibeh, 6-foot-11 freshman Myles Turner, 6-foot-9 junior Cameron Ridley and 6-foot-8 senior Jonathan Holmes.
Sophomore point guard Isaiah Taylor could also cause some havoc for the Jayhawks if he's able to take care of and distribute the ball effectively. If Kansas is unable to defend the perimeter, junior guard Javan Felix can catch fire from three, shooting 40 percent from behind the arc on the season.
The Longhorns pose the greatest threat to the Jayhawks because they present the largest mismatch. With their height and prolific guard play, they show similarities to an undefeated Kentucky team. That is the team that bulldozed the Jayhawks in November by 32 points, an early season memory Kansas fans would rather forget.
If Texas can utilize their height advantage, limit turnovers and shoot a solid percentage from the field, they are clearly the most threatening opponent to upend the Jayhawks in Kansas City come March.

Kansas Jayhawks prepare to wrestle No.1 Gators
DEREK SKILLETT
@Derek Skillett
On the verge of heading down to Gainesville, Fla., to play in the Aquafina Invitational, which includes a marquee match-up with the No. 1 ranked Florida Gators, the Kansas softball team is experiencing something historic.
Currently sitting on a 10-0 record, the Jayhawks are in the midst of one of the best starts in program history. This is only the third time in program history the Jayhawks have started at least 10-0.
In 2008, Kansas went 12-0 before losing its first game.
and in 2006, Kansas went 13-0 before losing its first game. The Jayhawks finished with a 46-19 record in 2008 and with a 47-26 record in 2006.
More recently, in their 2011 season, the Jayhawks got off to a 15-1 start, where they ultimately finished the season with a 36-23 record. Looking at these records, it is clear that this start bodes extremely well for the Jayhawks.
On Tuesday, the Jayhawks received 21 Top 25 votes in the USA Today NCAA Softball Poll, which put them just behind South Carolina and No. 25 Texas. In the ESPN Softball Collegiate Top 25, the Jayhawks received six votes,
with No. 25 Tulsa holding the last spot at 27 votes. If Kansas continues its scorching hot start, it won't be long until they crack those Top 25 polls.
In 2014, the Gators finished with a 55-12 record while winning the 2014 Women's College World Series. They are off to a similarly good start this season, boasting an 11-0 record while holding a No. 1 ranking in most Top 25
polls. The Gators have their own share of impressive wins, handing No. 4 Michigan its only loss of this season, while also defeating NC State, a team that received votes in many Top 25 polls.
Unfortunately for Kansas, all of the Gators' wins this season have come from inside their home state of Florida. Kansas will most definitely not have the home-field advantage in their matchups on Friday and Saturday.
Kansas has historically not had very much success against No. 1 ranked teams. The only top-ranked team that the Jayhawks have recorded came against conference-foe
Oklahoma in 2013. They have not defeated another No. 1 ranked team since.
However, there is something happening with this current Jayhawks squad. They have won in almost every way imaginable. They have won in blowouts and late comebacks. They have held on defensively and put up massive numbers offensively. Plus, there is the fact that the four team captains in senior utility Maddie Stein, senior infielder Chanin Naudin, senior pitcher Alicia Pille and junior infielder Chaley Brickey will not let the Jayhawks lose focus or get too cocky. They will not be afraid of the challenge.
The undefeated Jayhawks can win in Gainesville this weekend. They can shock the country and upset the top-ranked Gators. It will be a glorious ride.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many hits does Pete Rose have in his career?
A: 4.256
Baseball-Reference.com
Rose should be in the MLB Hall of Fame instead of Bonds
We hear about vacated wins all the time. Some college kid wasn't academically
eligible, a coach cheated, an organization cheated, or some other way.
don cheated, or some other way. What does a "vacated win" really mean?
It means we don't know what would've happened if a coach hadn't provided impermissible benefits or a player was kicked off the team because of his grades, so we err on the side of caution and disallow it all. But why are things any different when we talk about the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame?
Why is it even a question that guys who tainted the game with steroids and HGH don't deserve even the slightest mention in a Hall of Fame ballot?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
While new commissioner Rob Manfred was somewhat bashful when he attacked the issue of steroids — a series of statements which essentially
the Hall?
boiled down to, "I'll let the voters figure it out" — he was more decisive when discussing the fate of one of baseball's most controversial stars. Pete Rose, who has been banned from the majors since 1989, is the game's all-time hits leader. Manfred was open to discuss the possibility of allowing Rose to return from his life-long ban. This would mean he could find his way onto a Hall of Fame ballot, and who would deny Pete Rose's claim to
Rose violated one of baseball's oldest rules: he bet on approximately five to 10 games from basketball, hockey, football and baseball every day while in the league. Rose was banned from attending Major Baseball League functions three years after he retired, according to Sports Cheat Sheet.
At the end of the day, if Pete Rose didn't bet on games he was in, what he did was seummy, but he shouldn't be ineligible for the Hall.
However, for the guys who tainted America's pastime by cheating, there is only one appropriate course of action, and it is not a course that ends in Cooperstown.
From where I sit, it's a simple decision. If a player has been connected with steroids, if it's not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt he didn't do it, he doesn't deserve a spot in the record books, the Hall of Fame or the game itself.
It's about trust. How do we know where Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens would be or the records they'd hold if they were clean? How can we say these guys deserve to among the greats like Ruth, Gehrig and Robinson when they cheated and lied to us?
It's about fairness. It's very much an insult to the Hall of Famers who did it the right way, to have their halls tainted by men who dishonored the game.
It's about legacy. If Barry Bonds' record remains in the books, is it really OK to say Hank Aaron is the second-best power hitter of all time, even though he didn't need a needle and testosterone to set his record?
And it's about the game. Any man mentioned in the Mitchell Report disgraced Major League Baseball by cheating.
They don't have a rightful spot in the Hall.

LA Kings beat Lightning 3-2 for 5th straight victory
— Edited by Vicky Diaz-Camacho
BETH HARRIS
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — With five straight victories, the Los Angeles Kings are digging their way out of a slump that has threatened their playoff chances.
Jordan Nolan scored the goahead goal early in the third period and Jeff Carter added an insurance score in a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night.
Los Angeles Kings left wing Dwight King, left, and Tampa Bay Lightning center Tyler Johnson battle for the puck during the third period of an NHL hockey game Monday in Los Angeles. The Kings beat the Lightning 3-2.
MARK J. TERRILL/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Things are coming together for us," said Anze Kopitar, who scored the tying goal in the second. "We're playing with more inspiration as we should have before. We're getting some breaks, which doesn't hurt."
The Kings had lost three in a row before the current streak, their longest since taking six straight games from Oct. 12-26. The defending Stanley Cup champions are still fighting for a playoff berth, though.
"We're still in a hole," Kopitar said. "We know where we stand, so we've got to keep on going."
Jonathan Quick stopped 21 shots in his fifth consecutive victory.
Nolan scored his fourth of the season at 3:36, taking a pass from Dwight King and putting the puck in the top of the net to give the Kings a 2-1 lead.
"Every win is going to be big from here on," Nolan said.
King notched his second assist on Carter's 16th goal at 13:58 of the third. Drew Doughty flipped a pass to Carter just past the blue line and Carter converted, extending the Kings' lead to 3-1.
Kopitar tied the game 1-all on a breakaway at 7:04 of the
second. Trevor Lewis found a streaking Kopitar, whose shot just cleared the top of Andrei Vasilevskiy's right blocker.
"Right away in the second period we started playing well," Doughty said. "It's like we woke up. His goal gave us a huze boost."
Vasilievskiy made 25 saves for the Lightning, who were playing the second half of a
back-to-back.
"Sometimes when you play pretty well, you don't win," center Brian Boyle said. "And that's what this time of year is all about, the attention to detail. So the margin for error is really, really small. We had a couple of breakdowns, and they've got some guys who can shoot the puck."
Nikita Nesterov raced in.
picked up a rebound and scored top shelf for his first NHL goal at 12:11 of the first, giving Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead. The Lightning got a late goal from Tyler Johnson with 36 seconds left to cut it to 3-2.
"They're a tough team to play against," Johnson said. "They're very structured and they don't give you very much. You beat one guy and they always have
another guy there. But I don't think we played well enough in the third period or stuck to our structure enough. We weren't forcing plays and weren't able to feed each other enough."
The Kings have scored 19 goals during their winning streak. Their defense clamped down on Tampa Bay, the league's highest-scoring team with 189 goals.

HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
After getting the game started with a 10-2 run, the Jayhawks faltered against the Horned Frogs, making just five of their final 16 shot attempts in the half. Senior guard Natalie Knight was the lone bright spot for the Jayhawks in the first period. Knight scored 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, and quite frankly, was the only reason that the team wasn't facing a worse deficit than 15 points going into the half.
2ND HALF
The second half was a completely different story, as the Jayhawks battled back ferociously. Kansas went on an 8-0 run starting with 14:55 to go in the second half, and after that, the team continued to chip away at the TCU lead. The Jayhawks had managed to cut the lead all the way down to two, but despite 34 second-half points from senior forward Chelsea Gardner and Knight, the Jayhawks were unable to pull off the comeback, falling 73-67.
GAME TO REMEMBER
NINA ARIES
Natalie Knight
Natalie Knight was without a doubt the best player on the court for either team. The senior posted a game-high 29 points, topping the game's next-best scorer by nine points. Outside of Knight's five three-point baskets, the Jayhawks shot 0-of-12 from long range on the evening, and the fact that she committed just two turnovers while playing the entire 40 minutes was especially impressive.
GAME TO FORGET
JAMES BOWEN
The freshman guard made just one of her four field goal attempts and finished with a plus/minus rating of -28 in a game that her team lost by just six points. It wasn't all-bad for Bradley though, as she did manage to keep her turnovers down, but ultimately, her inability to get going really hurt the team.
Terriell Bradley
UNSUNG HERO

It wasn't exactly Superhero Day again, but that didn't stop Gardner from playing the role of Robin to Knight's Batman. Gardner finished second on the team with 20 points on 8-of-14 field goal attempts, while adding nine rebounds and three blocks. Gardner did get into foul trouble, which did hurt the team, but overall, it was another strong performance for the senior who, with Knight, combined to score 73.1 percent of the team's points.

COMMENTARY
Ellis remains consistent despite criticism
When Perry Ellis committed to head coach Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks in Sept. 2011, the five-star recruit from Wichita was an instant fan-favorite.
The longer Ellis has been in Lawrence, the less popular he has become. In his junior season, he has become one of the most maligned Jayhawks, even though he is the leading scorer (13.3) and rebounder (6.9) per game. He has only failed to score in double figures six times this season, and has been the Jayhawks' most consistent player outside of Frank Mason.
However, Ellis still cannot seem to escape the criticism: the most common one being that he is "soft."
Ellis is not the "prototypical" Self big man. He is not an athletic force who uses his size to back people down, and he is not a shot blocker. Ellis utilizes his finesse and relies heavily on a face-up game to score. The undersized power forward struggles to score on long and athletic players, but that should come as no surprise.
Despite his height, Ellis has been a very effective scorer for the Jayhawks. Exceeding 1,000 points in his Jayhawk career, and passing Thomas Robinson on the Jayhawk's all-time scoring list Monday.
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
With 3.9 seconds remaining, Jamari Traylor threw an excellent inbounds pass to Ellis, who was streaking down the middle of court. Ellis took off awkwardly and missed a finger roll with two seconds left that would have won Kansas the game. Instead, Kansas lost 62-61, and Ellis took most of the heat.
Ellis was one of three Jayhawks who scored in double figures. He had 19 points and five rebounds. Mason had 18 points, while Kelly Oubre chipped in 14. Nobody else had more than four points.
Kansas lost Monday because they could not rebound, not because Ellis missed a layup. They allowed West Virginia to grab 22 offensive rebounds, which resulted in 14 second-chance points.
Sure, Ellis should have made the layup, or better yet, taken a dribble to gather himself and dunk. But, it's not like it was an easy play to make. He had to sprint the length of the floor, make a tough catch, and decide in a split-second how he was going to go up for the shot. If he had to do it over again, he probably would have stopped to dunk. But without him: Kansas would not have even been within shouting distance.
I will be the first to admit, I am not innocent. I have gotten upset with Ellis this year, and even called him soft at times. But, let's face it layhawk fans, this team would be in a world of trouble without him.

Kansas players take to Twitter after loss
SCOTT CHASEN
@SCHasenKU
Following Monday's one point loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Kansas Jayhawks saw their lead in the Big 12 title race drop to just one game. After falling at the buzzer, 62-61, a few of the Jayhawks took to Twitter to express their disappointment in the result. Landen Lucas was the first to comment, sending out the following message at 10:40 p.m.
"My bad y'all I shouda made my free throw... it won't happen again...," sophomore Landen Lucas wrote on his Twitter account after the
game.
Lucas was referring to the fact that with less than a minute to go, he went to the line for a one-and-one with the Jayhawks holding a mere one-point advantage. Lucas missed the front end, and sure enough, the Jayhawks went on to lose the game by one point.
Another player who missed an opportunity was junior Perry Ellis. Ellis had a golden opportunity to win the game at the buzzer, but he was unable to get his layup to go in, as the jayhawks lost 62-61. Like Lucas, Ellis expressed disappointment in his performance.
and I will grow stronger from it I know it! All I can do is thank god for giving me the opportunity to play this game!" Ellis wrote on his Twitter account after the game.
The missed opportunity theme was certainly evident throughout the night. All night, Kansas struggled to capitalize on West Virginia's mistakes, while the Mountaineers were able to out-hustle the Jayhawks in just about every area.
West Virginia forced more turnovers than Kansas, while out-rebounding the team by 11 on the offensive glass. West Virginia also had more
steals, bench points, second chance points, total rebounds, made three-point baskets and assists, and all of those numbers combined to give the Mountaineers a narrow victory.
Senior Christian Garrett echoed this sentiment, but ever the optimist, he put his own positive spin on things. Garrett noted that the game was tough, but he looked toward the future:
"Tough one. But we trust in the Lord and we play for Kansas. So we'll bounce back and get better," Garrett wrote on his Twitter account.
The Jayhawks will certainly have their chance to bounce
back, as they'll face off against the Mountaineers again, albeit in Allen Fieldhouse, where the team has won 21-consecutive outings. Three of the Jayhawks' last five games will occur at home, with only one of the road contests coming against a team that is currently over .500 in Big 12 play: the Oklahoma Sooners.
Despite the loss, the Jayhawks are just four wins away from guaranteeing an 11th consecutive Big 12 title, and considering the Jayhawks have beaten four of the five teams they have yet to play, the odds are certainly in the team's favor.

Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge, runs the ball up the court in the game against Texas on Jan. 28. Despite Kansas' strong performance, with senior guard Natalie Knight putting up a career-high 2 points, they lost to TCU 73-67 in Fort Worth, Texas, Tuesday night.

Kansas (13-14, 4-10) started hot, as Knight connected on eight of the Jayhawks first 10 points, hitting both three-pointers she took in
After joining the 1,000-point club on Saturday against Texas, senior guard Natalie Knight posted a new career-high with 29 points. Her previous career-high was 25 points against Oklahoma last February in Allen Fieldhouse.
But it would not be enough as Kansas lost its fourth consecutive game, 73-67.
the first four minutes of the game. After that, the Horned Frogs took control going on a 12-0 run over a four-minute period before senior forward Chelsea Gardner hit a jumper to cut the game back to two points.
Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge picked up her second foul, which placed her on the bench before returning to the game and scoring a layup with 3.51 remaining in the first half. It would be the last Kansas points of the half.
Knight would be the only offense of the first half, scoring a game-high 11 points in the first half alone.
Three players would pick up two fouls apiece as Aldridge, Gardner and sophomore
forward Caelynn Manning- Allen.
Knight continued her hot shooting in the second half, with back-to-back three-pointers to get Kansas closer, but still trailed by 15 points. TCU kept answering Kansas's hot three-point shooting, scoring easy buckets and getting offensive rebounds.
When TCU went with a smaller lineup, Kansas took advantage. Kansas got the deficit down to ten points and kept trying to find any
other offense besides Knight.
Kansas had one more shot, and that was Gardner's time to shine in front of her family and friends who attended the game in Fort Worth, Texas.
Gardner showed up scoring eight straight points getting the deficit down to two, but TCU would make free throws down the stretch to seal the deal for the Horned Frogs.
Knight led all scorers with 29 points, while Gardner added 20 points, with 16 points coming in the second half. Even only scoring four points in the game, Aldridge broke a career-high in assists with ten. Her previous
career-high was eight assists on Jan. 24 against West Virginia.
Kansas shot 23-of-49 for 47 percent, five-of-18 from beyond the arc for 26 percent and were 16-of-17 at the free throw line for 94 percent. All of Kansas's free throws came in the second half.
Kansas will stay on the road and head to Stillwater, Okla., to take on the Cowgirls on Saturday. The Cowgirls defeated Kansas 65-57 on Feb. 7 in Lawrence.

Allies Strike via Le Havre, France
In the wake of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, the D-Day Forces landed in France to provide support to the Allies. The forces included the 8th Armored Division and the 7th Army Corps, which were responsible for defeating the German forces in Normandy.
The operation was a significant victory for the Allies, as they managed to secure key areas and prevent a complete defeat of the Germans. The D-Day Forces played a crucial role in the eventual victory over the Germans, contributing to the end of World War II in Europe.
After the battle, the Allies released captured German tanks and vehicles from France. They also recovered artillery and other equipment. The D-Day Forces continued to support the Allies throughout the war, providing additional resources and aid in the fight against the Nazis.
The D-Day Forces landed in France in mid-June 1944 and spent the following weeks providing defensive and offensive support to the French forces. The operation ultimately led to the liberation of France from the Nazis.

Campus group joins lawsuit in Koch brothers-related case
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Students for a Sustainable Future and the University agreed the student group would be recognized as a third party in the lawsuit involving a professor and his ties to the Koch brothers.
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
After submitting a motion to intervene on the case of Hall vs. KU, Students for a Sustainable Future and the University came to an agreement that the student group would be recognized as a third party in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit — which stems from a record request that the student group made last fall — was filed by business school lecturer Art Hall against the University to prevent the release of the records.
This decision will give SFASF access to court documents related to the lawsuit. There was originally a hearing set for the motion, but because the University and SFASF agreed to the terms, there was no need.
The student group stepped in to further their argument that because Art Hall, director of the Business school's Center for Applied Economics, works at the University, his records are subject to the Kansas Open Records Act.
Hall, however, said he believes the use of the open records law in this case is a misuse of the law and the records request violates his First Amendment rights.
"In my discussions with attorneys, every one of them agrees that there is a lack of guidance in how the law should be applied here," Hall said. "My lawsuit will allow a judge to provide guidance."
In April of 2014, SFASF requested numerous documents, even paying $1,800 last fall to receive them. The current law-suit arose with the part of the
request that sought out any of Hall's emails that mention specific organizations, dating back to 2004.
SFASF is particularly interested in the emails that mention Koch Industries or Koch family foundations. Schuyler Kraus, senior from Allen, Texas and president of SFASF, said the group is worried about Hall's previous experience with the business and has concerns about Koch influence over Hall's work at the University.
The Koch brothers gave a donation that established the Center for Applied Economics.
"There's just a lot of coincidences surrounding the relationship with Koch and KU," Kraus said.
Kraus said she wanted to make it clear that SFASF is only requesting access to these documents to find information regarding funding and
conflicts of interest.
"Whether we agree with the particulars of any expressed opinions they contain is irrelevant," Kraus said. "We have not and will not ever make our position on them part of the discussion."
McKenzie Ortiz, a freshman from Wichita and member of SFASF, said she agrees with Kraus on the matter.
"The fact that Art Hall is suing KU is really ridiculous," Ortiz said. "There shouldn't be anything to hide between Hall and Koch. We don't hate them because they are rich or successful; we are just cautious of the Koch brother's ties to the University because we deserve a fair and unbiased education."
This concern about a fair education was one of the main issues SFASF mentioned in the original request for Hall's records.
"If our professors are in their positions because they were placed by outside donors to control the dissemination of knowledge, our ability to learn about the world and make decisions is endangered," Kraus said.
Ortiz also said that it's not even known whether or not there are corrupt ties, and the Kansas Open Records Act request was supposed to help determine that.
Kraus said she and SFASF have additional concerns about the Koch brothers' involvement with politics.
"If you can purchase a place at a university just by donating funds, you can effectively gain access to academic credentials in order to legitimize a political agenda," Kraus said.

Committees pass transcript notation bill to full Senate
ALANA FLINN
@alana_Finn
Both the Student Senate Rights and University Affairs committees passed a resolution last night stating their support of adopting a non-academic misconduct notation to transcripts of students who were suspended or expelled for such. The bill would still have to pass through full senate next week.
If this were to be implemented, it would allow for communication between Kansas Board of Regents schools. For example, if a student with a non-academic misconduct mark attempts to transfer from KU to K-State, the latter school would be able to see that there has been a non-academic concern and contact the other school for more information on the policy violation. University administrations would then have access to the reasoning behind students' suspensions
they are admitted to another school. Originally, the proposal to adopt this transcript notation was proposed three years ago by the different offices of student life at Regents schools. However, the Kansas Board of Regents rejected it.
Now, student senates at six KBOR schools have decided to try again. KU Student Body President Morgan Said wrote the new language of the bill, which accompanies the old language student affairs used last time.
This bill is especially important at KU, as it will hopefully counteract recent sexual assault problems on campus. Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner said if this bill passes, it would offer communication abilities among KBOR schools.

Senate leaders propose bill to help impaired minors
ALANA FLINN
@alana flinn
For many student leaders across Kansas, knowing drunk minors are afraid to seek help in fear of facing legal repercussions is not an acceptable way to handle underage drinking. For a lot of these student leaders it's time for a change, so they have introduced a bill to help underage students seeking medical help when they are drinking.
The bill is known as Lifeline 911. It passed in state-level
conference committees yesterday, and if it comes full circle through state legislature, the law would allow anyone in Kansas under the legal drinking age to be granted amnesty from charges related to drinking should they seek medical attention while intoxicated.
While universities across the nation already have laws in place to protect minors who seek medical attention while drinking, Kansas institutions are just now catching up. The hope is to save lives, according to Kansas State University
"I've been to parties, I am a member of a fraternity, I've seen these kind of issues happen," said Kays, who is also president of the Kansas Board of Regents' Student Advisory committee.
Kays said young people are often too worried to call officials for help while intoxicated and instead choose to sleep it off or have their friends watch over them to make sure they're OK.

A sophomore University student from Topeka, who wishes to remain anonymous, was scammed out of $4,250 from a Care.com posting. A woman contacted the student via email and told her she was relocating to the area and needed a nanny for her 3-year-old. The woman was going to pay $350 a week, and she told the sophomore she would send a check for the first payment.
Student scammed $4,000 from nannying website
Care.com is advertised as a friendly way to find caretakers or a family in need of a babysitter. The small children on the website's commercial explain that their parents need time to relax, and they need a good babysitter. While the site certainly caters to that need, it has also become a place for running scams.

"I thought this was very weird because they hadn't moved here yet and I hadn't started nannying for them yet, so I didn't understand why I was getting paid, but I was like 'OK, sounds good';" she said. "Then I get this check in the mail for $4,250. I was like
The sophomore was told the money needed to be wired to the landlord who the family would be renting a home from. The student said she understood the family might be busy getting ready to move but was caught off guard and called her mom for advice. When the student's mom asked whether they should speak to their family's financial adviser about the check, she said she doubted it would be necessary since she trusted the website.
"I was like 'No, it's a nannying job and a safe website so I don't think it'll be anything bad,'" she said. "So I got all the money, and this is before the check cleared my account, so it said I had an available balance, but it hadn't cleared vet."
Don't Forget
The money the student wired through Western Union was her own money, and she expected the woman's check to clear in her bank account; however, it never did. The check the woman sent was fraudulent, and although the amount showed up in the student's account, the money showed up as "pending" and
'Oh, this is a lot of money."

The student contacted her bank and Western Union, but there was nothing that could be done once the money had left the account and had been picked up at Western Union. She said her family was just as surprised as she was that this had happened.
"He basically was like 'Yeah, you're getting scammed. People go on websites and get your information and whoever is gullible enough to go through with it gets scammed;'" she said.
After the student wired the money, she received frantic text messages from the woman warning her not to respond to any messages or emails she had previously sent because the woman's account had been hacked. Confused and concerned, the student called her mom who advised her to call the police. A dispatch officer came to investigate and explained this was not the only instance of scamming through this site they'd heard of.

'NYT' columnist to speak on climate, career
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@kansannews
Andrew Revkin, a science and environment blogger for "The New York Times," will visit the University today and Friday to give a presentation on climate change issues and his approach to journalism and communication.
Revkin will speak at a lecture titled "The New Communication Climate" on Thursday at 7 p.m. in Spooner Hall. He will make a Friday appearance at the Idea Cafe in the KU Commons, in which he will give a lecture titled "Why We Should Be Optimistic about the Anthropocene."
Revkin took the time to answer some questions about his career and his views on climate change.
Revink reached out to present at the University himself, having already planned on attending a conference in Kansas City.
KANSAN: What is the biggest misconception when it comes to global warming? What is the biggest misconception on your views on the topic?
REVKIN: There are lots of different misconceptions. For most people, it's not something they think about anyway. So
it's either the disengaged, the oversimplified or people who think it's made up.
REVKIN: I've had to deal with that sort of thing. A liberal environmental extremist once compared me to Charlie Sheen. Unfortunately, a lot of our debates over issues like the environment range from the edges. The reality is, it's in the middle.
the first misconception is that global warming or climate change is an old-fashioned pollution problem or that the problem arises from soot, smog or smoke stacks. It's much more profound than that. ... Some people like to oversimplify it. I think that's one misconception.
KANSAN: I read an article from NPR about Rush Limbaugh telling you to kill yourself. Is this a regular sort of thing?
Journalism is about going behind the arguments and saying what can happen next — keeping track of what's opinion
The other is that it's a hoax. Some people think that there's nothing there. There's enough evidence of substantial risk if emissions of greenhouse gases are unabated. After writing about this since the 1980s, I'm personally convinced that there is substantial risk.
REVKIN: This is what I teach at Pace University: that students can make a difference themselves. You don't have to wait until you're out of a university to actually contribute meaningfully to public understanding of issues like this (climate change).
and what's fact — and that's what I try to do. There's a lot of uncertainty (surrounding environmental issues). I just try to dig in as much as I can about what we actually know or what science has revealed. A lot of what I do is examining the science itself to make sure it's robust.
More generally, when I speak about where we're at in this era, it's a good time to get engaged because there's something everyone can do. Whether you're an artist, engineer, professor or a student, there's something you can do to help make a difference. It's kind of a cool time to be alive.
KANSAN: When you come to universities, is there a specific message that you want to drive home?
KANSAN: Do you feel like your style of reporting, which incorporates reader opinion and cites other publications, fits
REVKIN: During the 20th century, most journalism was a one-way phenomenon. You would go to an event, a paper would come out or Congress would debate a bill. So a journalist would do an interview, write an article or do a TV report and that was it.
the topic you cover particularly?
Now it's much more interactive, meaning you interact every day instead of a letter to the editor once a month or so. A lot more of the way I convey what I understand about the world is just my own observations, but I try to cite the work of other journalists at other publications, so it's more like a conversation than a report.
Journalism is starting to look a lot more like that, especially if newsrooms shrink. We'll all be sort of sharing information more and more, not just competing and generating our own unique content. As a blogger, I'm always involved with that kind of thing, bringing together others' ideas as well as my own.
KANSAN: What are the biggest difficulties surrounding that kind of reporting, and how do you think that makes your views on certain subjects seen
differently?
REVKIN: That's a good question because I think any journalists, even in the '60s, '70s or '80s, is a person with prejudices and biases, some of which are conscious and some of which are unconscious. Now, I think [news] is more about the recognition of that from the start. So people who read me regularly will know where I'm coming from. I've established who I am through the track record I have built up for many years and a sense of reliability that makes people comfortable keeping track of the wav I see the world.
I don't imply that it's the only view or that it's the right view. I just say, "This is my background, these are my biases," and if you're transparent around all that, then you maintain an authority that makes people want to read your writing.
I grew up with Walter Cronkite saying, "That's the way it is." That's what he said every night to sign off, "That's the way it is, Tuesday, Nov. 5," and I think that's oversimplified. I'm OK with the approach I've taken. Each one has weaknesses and strengths.

Currently at both the University and K-State, a policy stands that allows a student in on-campus housing to call for medical assistance and be exempt from being kicked out of their residence or the university. However, it is up to the officer's discretion whether to press charges for a minor in consumption or minor in possession.
BILL FROM PAGE 1A
Morgan Said, student body president, is working with Kays and other Kansas Board of Regents schools to get this bill passed statewide. Kays is leading the charge on this bill because the platform he ran on to be elected at K-State specifically stated he would try to have this bill passed.
One motivation for expanding the bill statewide is because students who live in off-campus housing are currently not protected by this policy. If the statewide bill is passed, however, off-campus students would have legal protection as well.
At Higher Education Day in Topeka last week, Said and other student leaders testified to committees the legislation was reviewed in and encouraged the passing of the bill.
"I think part of being student leaders is being realistic about the culture surrounding college campuses and just our nation as a whole," Said said. "We recognize, although we have set measures in place to try to prevent underage drinking, it does happen. It's our job to protect students when they do decide to engage in that type of behavior and take it too far to the point of needing medical assistance."
The University of Kansas has
had the policy since 2009. Kays modeled K-State's policy after Kansas' and managed to get it implemented last fall. Stipulations for qualifying for immunity from charges will be granted if the minor seeking medical attention "initiates contact with law enforcement and cooperate with them at the scene," according to a press release from K-State. Now that the bill has been passed through conference committee, it must pass through both state House and Senate and then finally be approved by Gov. Sam Brownback.
Kays said there is no specific timing for the passing of the bill, but it can take several weeks. Kays is aiming to implement the off-campus policy separately at K-State, as the statewide bill isn't guaranteed to pass. But after dedicating nearly a year and a half to this project, Kays said he knows few things are more important than preventing any more underage drinking disasters.
Sen. Tom Hawk (D-Manhattan) supports the bill and hopes to see the efforts come to fruition.
"Right now, there's 21 states that have this law and about five others looking at it," Kays said. "I think with this law, we can really save some lives of young people in Kansas."
Edited by Callie Byrnes
"Working with [Kays] on the Lifeline 911 bill has been a wonderful experience in the application of democracy for students in the Kansas legislative process." Hawk said in a press release. "This bill will save student lives by giving young people the confidence that they can step up and help a peer in danger."
CORRECTION
In an article titled "Student Senate to vote on sexual assault transcript notation policy" in Wednesday's issue, the headline incorrectly stated that Student Senate was voting on the bill. Instead, Student Senate committees were voting on the bill. The bill does not deal specifically with sexual harassment policy violations, but any non-academic policy violation that results in suspension or expulsion. The reporter did not speak to any authors on the bill, as Angela Murphy, the Student Senate source for the article, is not an author. The story online has been updated to reflect the changes.
can help me, and I can pay them back over time," she said. "You don't really think about getting scammed on a nannying website out of all things."
CARE FROM PAGE 1A
The website warns of scams like these, and give tips on how to avoid them, including cautionary statements about trusting your instincts and not providing personal information. Background checks are only run on caregivers, not the families looking for care, according to Care.com.
The sophomore University student said there should be more checks on the people who want care provided to protect against scams or other negative instances.
"Security wise, this makes me feel not secure at all," she said. "Anyone can get your email and your phone number and make you think they're someone that they're not, or make you think you have this awesome nannying job with a cute little kid and then it ends up being fake. I don't understand why people think like that."
Even though this type of scam has been run before, authorities haven't found the woman who initiated this scam, nor do they know of her whereabouts. Additionally, since Western Union only requires a state name and a name of the person you're sending the money to, the
money could not be recovered.
Emily Jones, a senior from Lindsborg, encountered a similar situation but was able to avoid the scam.
Jones studies applied behavioral science in the early intervention department and helps children with autism spectrum disorder, and decided she could use her skills with children as a babysitter to make a profile on the website.
"I love kids, and I've baby-sat for a really long time," she said. "I find it really easy so I put up a profile on Care.com. I was actually kind of skeptical at first because I thought it would be a good place for a scam."
As it turns out, Jones was right. A woman messaged Jones on Jan. 22 through Care.com looking for a full-time nanny. However, Jones had not updated her profile since the summer, and she was no longer as available as she had been. Consequently, she had to inform the woman that she wouldn't be able to to fulfill the request due to her hectic schedule with school being back in session.
the woman messaged back a photo of her family and told Jones she thought she would be a great match as a babysitter. The woman also asked Jones to provide personal information, to which she reiterated that she was no longer available for a full-time position. The next morning, Jones
KU
With television shows such as "How to Catch a Predator" depicting the terrible realities of what can happen when someone is too trusting, Jones said her mind immediately jumped to her initial thought that the site would be perfect for a scam.
"I thought it was a scam because in the end they weren't really looking for a babysitter," she said. "They were still wanting that information even after I repeatedly told them I wasn't available. I was just concerned they wanted my address and a picture; that's when a light switch went off."
"I had a right to be skeptical when I put up information in the first place because it could be a scam," she said. "With technology people can try to take advantage of you."

"I get this email the next morning that said 'Good morning Emily, how was your night?' which is a weird way to say it," Jones said. "In the email before, she had asked me to fill out some information with my name, phone number, address and all this information that I didn't feel was necessary."
Jones said at this point she believed someone was trying to scam her; but for what, she wasn't sure.

Q&A: Student receives prestigious scholarship
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship was awarded to 40 students across the country, including senior Ryan Limbocker from
Ovenham Park This scholarship gives students the opportunity to pursue a postgraduate degree in any discipline at the University of Cambridge. Last year, Limbocker was a recipient of the Goldwater Scholarship. The Kansas sat down to talk with Limbocker about his accomplishments and how he plans to spend his time in the United Kingdom when he moves there in October.
Limbocker

KANSAN: What is the Goldwater Scholarship that you received last year?
LIMBOCKER: It was a STEM scholarship enacted by Congress to recognize sophomores and juniors interested in science technology. They were looking for students who worked hard in the classroom while still doing research outside of school. KU nominated four people, and
after I was nominated. I had to submit a big application. I ended up winning and receiving $7,500.
KANSAN: What opportunities did that provide for you?
LIMBOCKER: I applied to some of the top U.S. analytical programs and I ended up getting into them. Before deciding on any, I found a lab at the University of Cambridge that seemed interesting, and that's how I discovered the Gates
scholarship
KANSAN: What was the lab?
LIMBOCKER: It involves studying the fundamental causes of protein aggregation responsible for amyloid plaque formation, which is pivotal in the development of Alzheimer's. I enjoy learning about chemistry bonds, so when I go to Cambridge, this is the lab I'll actually be participating in. I think this experience will prepare me extremely well to devote my career and passion to understanding how these diseases may be better understood.
ceived the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, what does that mean for you after you graduate this May?
KANSAN: Now that you've re-
LIMBOCKER: I'll be pursuing a Ph.D in chemistry at the University of Cambridge for the next three years, and that schooling is completely covered by the scholarship.
KANSAN: What kind of job do you see yourself having?
LIMBOCKER: I enjoy teaching and researching, so my end goal is to be a professor at a research institution like KU.
KANSAN: Are there any professors who have influenced you throughout your time here?
LIMBOCKER: Definitely. The first one is my research mentor, Dr. Michael Johnson. He's been so helpful in both teaching me how to work in a lab and deciding what career I want. There also my honors adviser, Mikhail Barybin. He's been my adviser the entire time I've attended KU, and he was a big part in me realizing how wonderful research is. He's also put up with me for four years.

Colorado mountain snow is bright spot during drought
DAN ELLIOTT
Associated Press
DENVER — Snowpack in the mountain valleys, where the Colorado River originates was only a little below normal on Wednesday, marking one of the few bright spots in an increasingly grim drought gripping much of the West.
Measurement stations in western Colorado showed the snowpack at 90 percent of the long-term average.
By contrast, reporting stations in the Sierra Nevada range in drought-sticken California showed snowpack at 50 percent or less in early February, the most recent figures available. Some detected no snow at all.
Mountain snow in Colorado is closely monitored because a half-dozen Western waterways, including the 1,400-mile Colorado River, start in the area. The river and its tributaries supply water to millions of people in seven states and Mexico.
Much of the river comes from mountain snow that accumulates during winter and melts in the spring.
"It's looking pretty dismal over much of the West, but there are some areas where we're OK," said Mike Strobel, manager of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Snow Survey, which uses about 2,000 reporting stations in the western U.S. and some in Canada to measure snow.
Mountain snow depth usually peaks in early April across the West. However, it's unlikely many of the hardest-hit mountains will get enough precipitation by then to recover, Strobel said.
In the Pacific Northwest, warm temperatures have brought rain instead of snow, so the mountains aren't accumulating snowpack for the spring runoff, when farmers and water managers need water to irrigate crops and refill reservoirs.
It would take half the normal amount of snowfall between now and April to bring the statewide snowpack up to average, said Brian Domonkos, who supervises the snow survey in Colorado.

Obama not strong enough on environment
O
Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
This week, President Obama spoke at Georgetown University to unveil his administration's plans to combat climate change, which include regulation of coal plants, building sea walls for defense against rising sea levels and energy efficiency for residences and commercial buildings.
SUSANNE POSEL/ASSOCIATED PRESS
In a speech at Georgetown University on June 25, 2013, President Barack Obama said, "I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing." The president's track record on addressing environmental issues such as mining, alternative energy production and climate change is arguably the best of any president.
However, a few of the president's policy decisions regarding energy production seem contradictory to his pro-environment rhetoric. Over the past few years, citizens have watched an awkward dance between the president and energy regulation.
The administration's recent move to allow offshore drilling on the southern Atlantic coast but restrict drilling in areas of Alaska was a slap to the face followed by a warm towelette to the forehead. This decision places the southern Atlantic coast at risk of disastrous oil spills and continues the production of a finite, earth-destroying resource.
In a time of environmental uncertainty, President Obama has a responsibility to our citizens and the world to consistently and aggressively pursue alternative energies, not increase production of oil and natural gas. There is no time for "one step forward, two steps back" politics.
During the president's tenure, the United States has moved from the world's seventh largest exporter of coal to the fourth. This can be attributed to the fact that the Bureau of Land Management leases federal lands to energy producers and has been doing so for decades. In fact, 40 percent of America's coal comes from federally leased lands. The contradiction between this fact and President Obama's Climate Action Plan, aimed at decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants, is almost too much for my environmentalist heart to bear. Although the president
had no part in allowing the use of federal lands for mining, his Climate Action Plan fails to solve the discrepancy between lowering emissions and the federal government selling coal contracts.
The White House's irresolute All-of-the-Above Energy Strategy indicates that the administration values all energy production methods equally. President Obama follows a why-not philosophy of energy politics. Why not continue drilling for oil and pursue wind and solar energies at the same time? Why not continue fracking and also increase research on geothermal energy? The plan is nice rhetoric for a
spiffy infographic and snazzy speech, but the message is clear: Oil and natural gas are here to stay. The problem with this philosophy is there are a lot of reasons not to.
Climate change is the foremost reason. We can't talk about emission reduction plans and climate agreements unless we get serious about alternative energy in our own country.
The Obama administration speaks of balance when it comes to the environment and business. However, there can be no economic balance when there is no environmental balance. When the earth's natural systems are
thrown off, so is our economy.
I fear our domestic policies will thwart any climate action progress made so far with China and India. How can we ask the world to help us mitigate climate change if we are aggressively ramping up our oil and natural gas production? It is time the awkward dance between President Obama and the environment ends. President Obama needs some dance lessons, and he needs them quickly.

DO YOU THINK PRESIDENT OBAMA IS A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

"I think he is an advocate for the environment. I wouldn't go so far as to say he is a particularly strong advocate. I can tell in his mannersism and the way that he portrays his message that he really does care, but it is an unfortunate reality that environmental issues tend to take the back burner when you are dealing with international policy and domestic issues. So sometimes environmental issues can tend to seem a little less important or pressing."
HENRY REED

"I think Barack Obama walks a fine line between being an advocate and being a centerpiece. He likes to talk about the environment, but can't really do anything about the environment."

"I think under the circumstances of the GOP majority and public consensus within the United States, President Obama is doing an adequate job being an environmental advocate. I think that he has constraints and he is working within those constraints in a pragmatic way."
STRONG HALL
"That's a tough question to ask. I think in a lot of ways he is. He has kind of set a precedent, especially compared to the previous administration. But at the same time I think a lot of environmentalists feel let down, like there is more that he could have done. In some ways I feel that that is the case, but you also have to take into consideration the political climate and how divided things are right now. I like to think he is doing what he can, but more really needs to be done."

What's wrong with millennials? They are lazy, selfish, wasteful
Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
Dryers consume an insane amount of energy. The EPA
energy. The EPA reports dryers use more energy than refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers in the average household. Among those major household appliances, dryers account for one-third of their combined energy consumptions.
In the U.S., laziness is glorified by the dryer culture. Instead of taking five minutes to hang up laundry and let it dry efficiently (not consuming a single kWh of energy), most everyone chooses to chuck it in the dryer — where the energy consumption stats knock the wind out of you.
I can't stand dryers. I wish they didn't exist. But it's not merely because of their energy consumption stats: I have a problem with laziness.
This laziness is a problem that especially defines Generations Y, Z and Alpha, after the Baby Boomers and Generation X. We've grown up in a culture that has forgotten a lot of old values: not being wasteful, not being selfish, caring about the way things are done, etc.
These values are evident in everyday language. "We need to reduce waste", implies we waste too much, which we most certainly do. We can also order food while hardly having to interact with other humans.
highlighting the fact that we have become far too individualistic, directing our concerns mostly onto ourselves. Wanting life to be easy is a common sentiment — among younger generations specifically — that indicates we tend to prefer whatever choice renders our lives easier, despite the consequences environmental, social global, etc.
I can't stand that people don't think about these things anymore. I'm convinced if you spend 10 minutes thinking about your habits, you can figure out several ways in which you can improve your impact on society and the environment. This could make a huge difference for you, others and the planet.
We should think about the kind of general mindset we want to have and focus on having the mindset of a caring human being. This can be even more productive than paying attention only to a few small habits in your daily life.Instead of resolving to start recycling your cardboard from now on, resolve to be less wasteful in general.
Don't let yourself fall into the category of thoughtless people who justify their actions by how their lives are rendered easier — instead, hang your clothes and contribute to the making of a better world.

@MetzlerLauren
Michael Price, adjunct professor in international journalism, has created a documentary called "Lost Minds: KC's Mental Health Crisis", which will air on PBS later this year. The film deals with the overwhelming problem of untreated mental illness and brings the issue to a human level by telling the stories of real people.
The dominant angle of the documentary is from the perspective of police officers and mental health liaisons
who spend their days making rounds to check on people with mental illness who have had incidents with the police and try to involve them in mental health services.
"My impression of the police in Kansas City ... is that they are generally very proactive," Price said. "They want to solve problems and they're not prepared to sit back and say, 'Well this is just the way things are.' That was quite refreshing. They are genuine as well."
One particularly striking moment from the documentary occurs when Price interviews Police Sgt. John Bryant's 14-year-old son, who suffered from mental illness and attempted to kill his stepmother. After the attempt, Bryant admitted to planning to shoot his son before killing himself.
His wife, along with fellow officers, convinced him not to do it.
Price also said this was a standout interview for him and he had not expected Bryant to open up the way he did. By the end of the interview, Price said he forgot he was even filming. After he was finished, Bryant reached out his arm and put it on Price's shoulder and asked, "Are you alright?"
"That's the wonderful thing about making documentaries," Price said. "Everyone has got stories to tell and if you approach them in the right way and can make them trust you, they forget about the camera, you forget about the camera and they just open up."
Creating this film was a long process for Price. He began researching
and interacting with the people featured around six months before he began filming, Price said. Price wrote, filmed, narrated and produced the documentary, which is currently available on YouTube.
"Filmmaking is a case of having people's trust," he said.
Price began his involvement with mental health when he worked for the BBC, examining soldiers who served in Afghanistan. He came to Kansas City, Mo., in 2013. Interested in veterans with PTSD and what was being done to serve them, Price was directed to efforts made by the kansas City police force and their Crisis Intervention Team training program.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health,
19. 6 percent of U.S. adults ages 18 to 25 were afflicted with any mental illness in 2012. Of adults ages 18 and up, 43.7 million had some sort of mental illness within that year. In Kansas, there were 550 mental health counselors employed in May 2013 and the average annual wage of mental health counselors in Lawrence was $35,660.
"The healthcare system is failing." Price said. "It's failing because of the numbers of people that the police are having to deal with. I think there's a very strong argument for extra funding to go into the community behavioral treatment centers. Otherwise, too many of these people keep on falling through the cracks."

Ceramics Club to host artist Beth Cavener
The KU ceramics club will host nationally known artist Beth Cavener for an artist workshop Feb. 18-20th. Cavenger will also hold a lecture at the Spencer Museum on the 19th at 6 p.m. She is known for her figurative sculpture work and animal sculptures.
Ceramics club is a place for students, mainly ceramics majors, to grow in their art and gain perspective on their careers beyond their typical classes.
During a typical ceramics club meeting, members use the time to plan for upcoming sales, discuss the ceramics studio and discuss artists they would like to bring in. Their primary goals are to bring in artists to speak at the University and hold workshops, as well as raise money through sales to send students to the annual National Ceramics Conference. The club hosts sales once a semester at the Kansas Union, usually during the last week of the semester.
The Beth Cavener workshop will take place on the first floor of the Art and Design building from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 pm. It is open to any student interested, regardless of his or her major. During the event, Cavener will demonstrate how she creates her art, as well as provide hands-on learning opportunities. All supplies will be provided.

Mardi Gras 2015 comes to close
JANET MCCONNAUGHEY Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS - Mardi Gras 2015 is officially over and the last tips revelers in New Orleans have been cleared from city streets.
At the stroke of midnight, New Orleans police rode down Bourbon Street on horseback. sending home the last revelers from the "Fat Tuesday" bash in this Mississippi River port city.
Before dawn Wednesday, City crews began sweeping up tons of trash, discarded food and plastic beads that had been tossed from the Mardi Gras floats during parades the day before. City officials have said up to 150 tons of trash would be collected making it擦毒 so if the

Cheering for beads and trinkets from float riders is a popular tradition for Mardi Gras parade-goers every year, which often litter the streets in the aftermath.
- making it appear as if the parades never happened.
Each year, the unabashed Mardi Gras celebrations by costumed revelers mark the prelude to the solemn Catholic religious season of Lent.
And with temperatures near freezing on Tuesday, almost everyone was bundled up even along Bourbon Street, where costumes usually tend toward the skimpy during Mardi Gras.
"You can't tell, but we've got Mardi Gras shirts on," said Tiffany Cannon, watching Tuesday's first big parade with her 8-year-old son, Eli, tucked up in warm layers. The youngster had a blue scarf over his chin and mouth and a large fuzzy hat to ward off temperatures Tuesday that began in the mid-30s.

No major incidents were reported Tuesday by police. But a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman fell from different floats in a truck parade in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said. The man was in stable con-
Tuesday's main celebration kicked off when a retired musician, Pete Fountain, launched a 10-mile stroll by his Half-Fast Walking Club through the city. Many fortified themselves against the cold with a breakfast of sandwiches, coffee and brandy-fortified milk punch.
"There was beer and water, too. But most people stuck with the milk punch," said Ralph Jukkola, on his fourth walk with Fountain's club.
After Fountain's group, major parades of Zulu, Rex and others followed down the streets, their costumed participants tossing trinkets and plastic bead necklaces to revelers lining the sidewalks and median strips.
The crowd was thick along the main St. Charles Avenue, where Zulu's parade route merged with that of Rex, one of the most elaborate. Rex was followed by two long "truck parades" — floats built up from flatbed trailers and decorated by costumed riders.
Matching gray quilted jackets hid the gowns worn by young women on the "maids" float in the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club's popular parade.
As Zulu passed, Ashley English said she was too cold to show off her costume.
"I have a corset on. You just can't see it," she said, pulling at the neck of her leather jacket. The corset was purple, she said, to go with her green and gold leggings.
Purple, green and gold were introduced as the colors of Mardi Gras in 1872, when a
group of businessmen first crowned one of their own Rex, king of Carnival."
Because of the cold weather, many wore extra layers of sweat shirts and jeans under costumes made to look like clowns or animals.
Erin Buran of New Orleans wore a white jacket and feathery angel wings but didn't mind the cold.
"My angel wings have tequila in them," she said, showing off the mouthpiece of a hydration backpack covered by the wings.

ANNIVERSARY
GIFT FROM
ANTIQUITY
ELIS POSNER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
This Egyptian 18th Dynasty glass jar is part of a major collection of ancient Greco-Roman and Near-Eastern objects that New York philanthropists Robert and Renee Belfer are giving to the Jerusalem museum for its 50th anniversary.
NY Philanthropists donate ancient art collection to the Israel Museum
ULA ILNYTZKY
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Two New York philanthropists are donating a major collection of more than 300 ancient Greco-Roman and Near-Eastern glass vessels to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
[Picture of a person kneeling on sandy ground, facing the ocean. The background shows a rocky shoreline under a cloudy sky.]
The gift from Robert and Renee Belfer was announced by the museum Wednesday. It comes as the institution celebrates its 50th anniversary. An exhibition titled "A Roman Villa — The Belfer Collection," showcasing approximately 100 of the objects, will be on view at the Israel Museum from June 5 through Nov.21.
The collection is "one of the most important private holdings of antiquities anywhere," museum Director James Snyder said in a telephone interview from Jerusalem.
They include cast vessels and blown and mosaic glass pieces, ranging from the 14th century B.C., the Late Bronze Age, through the 14th century C.E., the Islamic period.
He called it a "transformative gift" of "pristine" and "superlative" examples that will strengthen and enhance the museum's current collection of Greco-Roman artifacts.
The collection also includes about 50 important works of Greco-Roman sculpture and relief work, including bronze and marble sculptures, mosaics, frescoes and pottery.
"For us it's like the exquisite icing on the cake," he said.
"A gift from New York of material with such a special meaning here resonates with the museum's narrative about local and global connections," the director said.
ARIEL SCHALIT/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Secondly, the aesthetics of Greco-Roman culture had a hugely important influence on the local iconography of ancient Israel from Second Temple times through the fall of the Roman Empire", Snyder said.
He noted that the Belfers began amassing their antiquities collection nearly 50 years ago, around the same time that the museum was founded. Today, The Israel Museum housen
Snyder said the Belfer gift was significant to Jerusalem in two ways. First, because glass-making was an important development in the region and the technique of glass-blowing in the first century B.C. appears to have emerged first in Jerusalem, he said.
Among the highlights is a first-century Roman marble head of a youth, an Egyptian 18th Dynasty glass jar and a Roman mosaic from the second century of an amphitheater, featuring the gods Poseidon and Amphitrite and two ships with sailors.
Dror Planer of the Israel Antiquities Authority collects attimid period gold coins that were found in the seabed of the Mediterranean Sea near the port of Caesarea National Park in Caesarea, Israel, on Wednesday. A group of amateur Israeli divers have stumbled upon the largest collection of medieval gold coins ever found in the country, dating back to the 11th century and likely from a shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea.
cyclopedic collections, ranging from prehistory through contemporary art, and is recognized for its extensive Biblical and Holy Land archaeology, including the Dead Sea Scrolls.
"When deciding on an ideal home for our collection, we could not think of a more fitting venue than The Israel Museum, especially for its emphasis on the foundational narrative of humankind that is so relevant to us all today," Renee Belfer said in a statement.
"Our collection represents an important chapter in the history of civilization," a story the museum will help preserve and share "in perpetuity from Jerusalem, one of the central sites of that long history," added Belfer, who serves as chair of the executive committee of the American Friends Of The Israel Museum.
The Belfers are prominent patrons of the arts whose financial support established The Robert and Renee Belfer Court for early Greek art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the 1990s.

Pastor Grant Eckhart places ashes on Marilyn Elliott's forehead during drive-up Ash Wednesday at Advent Evangelical Lutheran Church in Upper Arlington, Ohio, on Wednesday. Clergy at Advent Evangelical Lutheran Church planned to apply ash to the foreheads of anyone who stopped in the parking lot of the church from 11 a.m. to 1 n.m. Wednesday. It's the first time the church has offered the drive-by service.
UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio — Too busy to stop in for an Ash Wednesday service? Some churches are offering drive-by ashes.
Clergy at Advent Evangelical Lutheran Church in Upper Arlington, Ohio, applied ash to the foreheads of anyone who stopped in the parking lot of the church for two hours Wednesday.
Churches offer drive-by ashes on Ash Wednesday
It's the first time the church offered the drive-by service, said the
Rev. Aaron Layne. The congregation supported it, he told The Columbus Dispatch although some comments on Facebook criticized him for cheapening the observance that marks the beginning of Lent for Christians
Layne reasoned that it could be a first step back for some people who haven't been to church in years.
Other churches have also taken more informal approaches to Ash Wednesday. The "Ashes to Go" movement began in 2007 with ashes given to some 100 passers-by outside a coffeehouse in Missouri,
the Rev. Teresa K.M. Danieley of St. John's episcopal Church in St. Louis wrote on the "Ashes to Go" website.
The practice has since spread, and the website lists quick ash distribution services in more than 30 states and in several countries.
St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Ashtabula, Ohio, planned to offer a shelter at a downtown park Wednesday, The Star-Beacon in Ashtabula reported. Like Advent Evangelical Lutheran Church, the service would be a first for the northeast Ohio church.

Man with bodies buried in his yard gets life in prison

Geraldine Kerkowski and Connor Kerkowski's walk to the courtroom for the opening day of testimony in the murder trial of Hugo Selenski.
Associated Press
MARK MORAN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — A jury on Wednesday spared the life of a man convicted of strangling a pharmacist and his girlfriend in 2002 and burying their bodies in his yard, granting a defense request to show mercy despite the brutal nature of the crimes.
Hugo Selenski, 41, was convicted last week on two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of Michael Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett during a robbery at the pharmacist's home. He showed no reaction to the jury's decision, which means he will serve life without parole. He will be formally sentenced next month.
The pharmacist had pleaded guilty to running an illegal prescription drug ring and was about to be sentenced when he and Fassett were reported missing in 2002. Authorities found their decomposing bodies about a year later, along with at least three other sets of human remains on Selenski's property near Wilkes-Barre.
Prosecutors argued Kerkowski was tortured, one of the aggravating circumstances they urged jurors to consider in deciding Selenski's fate.
Prosecutors had asked for a death sentence, saying Selenski and a co-conspirator brutally beat Kerkowski to compel him to reveal the location of tens of thousands of dollars he kept in his house and then used plastic flex ties to strangle him and Fassett.
Selenski's attorney, Edward "E.J." Rymsaa, begged the jury to spare his client's life, asking them to ignore "voices of vengeance and retribution."
The defense tried to cast Selenski as a good father, brother and uncle even behind bars, with family members testifying earlier Wednesday that he wrote frequently and gave life
"The defendant has repeatedly used fear and lies and pain and death in order to obtain frivolous, material things," Sam Sanguedolce, Luzerne County first assistant district attorney, told jurors in his closing argument Wednesday. "The defendant has earned his sentence."
Two of Selenski's daughters and four of his sisters spoke of their love for him, calling him an intelligent and caring man who's protective of his family - a portrait starkly at odds with the greedy, manipulative killer described in earlier trial testimony.
The two youngest sisters, both nursing students in their 20s, said he served as a father figure while briefly taking care of them more than a dozen years ago while their dad, now deceased, was ill.
Selenski has spent most of the last 20 years in prison, with convictions for a 1994 bank robbery, a 2003 home invasion and robbery, and now murder. In 2006, he beat two other homicide charges in the deaths of two suspected drug dealers whose charred remains were also found in his yard north of Wilkes-Barre.
The fifth body found on the property was never publicly identified.
Selenski, who escaped from the county lockup in 2003 using a rope fashioned from bed sheets, will now spend the rest of his days in a maximum security state prison.
"I wouldn't be who I am today without him," Katlyn Selenski, 22, said.
Even if the jury had sentenced him to die, Selenski would likely have spent decades on death row — and might never have received a lethal injection.
M. S. KIRKMAN
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf recently declared a moratorium on the death penalty, called the current system of capital punishment "error prone, expensive and anything but infallible." Philadelphia's district attorney has filed a legal challenge to the moratorium.
MARK MORAN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hugo Selenski was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of pharmacist Michael Kerkowski and his girlfriend.
Pennsylvania has executed only three inmates since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976, the last one in 1999. All three had voluntarily given up their appeals.
Letter in police mailboxes: Black officers belong in toilet
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A threatening letter that disparages black police officers has been found stuffed in mailboxes at a police department.
State police are investigating the unsigned letter, which is on Bridgeport Police Department letterhead and begins and ends with the term "white power"; city officials said Wednesday. Black officers said it was at least the third hate-filled message to circulate within the police department over the past year.
Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The letter singles out black Officer Clive Higgins, who was acquitted last month of civil rights violation charges in the beating of a Hispanic suspect in the racially diverse city. A white officer and a Hispanic officer pleaded guilty and were sentenced to three months in jail.
The note says Higgins doesn't
Members of the Guardians said they believe the letter was written by someone within the police department because copies of it were found in mailboxes in an area not open to the public.
A minority officers' group, the Bridgeport Guardians, held a news conference Wednesday to discuss the letter. Higgins attended but declined to comment.
"You better watch your back. We know where you live," it said. "Your face was all over the newspaper. Remember you have no duty weapon to defend yourself."
The letter also said, "These Black Officers belong in the toilet," and it alleges Chief Joseph Gaudett Jr. and Assistant Chief James Nardozi don't want them", especially Higgins, in the department.
belong at the police department and threatens him.
Dimbo added, "This type of behavior affects a minority and spreads racism and hatred throughout the Bridgeport Police Department as well as the community." He said some officers were concerned about their safety.
"If it came from the outside, wed think, 'OK, people really don't like police'," said Detective Harold Dimbo, vice president of the Guardians. "But coming from inside, there are no words to be said."
The episode adds to a history of discrimination problems in the Bridgeport Police Department.
City spokesman Brett Broser said the city has zero-tolerance policies against racism and discrimination and that anyone found responsible for the letter faces swift discipline. He said Bridgeport, which has about 150,000 residents, has the most diverse police force in the state.

COMMENTARY
Kansas is more than just a basketball school
The University of Kansas is a basketball school; always
This past weekend I had the opportunity to watch Kansas baseball take on No. 2 LSU in Alex Box Stadium in front of roughly 11,100 fans; nearly every seat was occupied. I was initially in shock. That many people would come out to a college baseball game in the middle of February? Then I got to thinking: Why can't Hoglund Ballpark be this full?
ball school; always has been and always will be. I'm not deluded enough to believe differently. The fact that the sport's creator was the first coach here has a bit to do with that. You may have also heard about a conference streak over the past decade.
But I'm not here to talk about basketball. Instead, I'm here to pitch why I think other sports at the University deserve some attention.
The obvious answer is "The Hog" only seats 2,500 at full capacity. But the point is, come March, even with fewer seats, there are going to be far more empty seats in the ballpark.
Sure, one could say it's easy to get behind a program that is ranked second in the country and consistently a national powerhouse, but Kansas baseball is no slouch. Just last year the Jayhawks were picked to finish last in the Big 12 before finishing third en route to a regional berth.

It's not just baseball. The students' lack of interest in other sports is campuswide.
Kansas volleyball has now been to the Big Dance three years in a row, including a Sweet 16 appearance just two years ago. The women's basketball team, which is often viewed as the "little sister" to the men's basketball team, made consecutive Sweet 16 appearances in 2012 and 2013. Kansas softball made the NCAA Tournament last year and is currently 10-0 as they get ready to take on the No. 1 ranked Florida Gators. How many readers actually knew that?
No, I'm not talking about the football program, which has become the punchline in many conversations over coffee at the Underground. Last year alone, Kansas sent six teams to the NCAA tournament in its respective sport.
The list goes on and on, but the point is Kansas is the cream of the crop when it comes to collegiate athletics. The best part is we, as students, have the luxury of going to these games for free.
I can't convince everyone to start following Kansas Athletics religiously in 440 words, and I am not foolish enough to believe you'd do it if I wrote 10,000. But the point is, if you truly consider yourself a Jayhawk, then go show these other sports some love. You might actually like it.

Kansas returns to the Phog to face TCU
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
After a dramatic last-second loss to No. 23 West Virginia, Kansas will host TCU at 3 p.m. Saturday for the finale of its season series. Kansas defeated the Horned Frogs 64-61 in Fort Worth, Texas, earlier this season.
The Horned Frogs will come into the game with a 16-10 record and a 3-10 conference record. TCU lost seven of its past eight games but won its previous game against Oklahoma State on Valentine's Day.
Kyan Anderson leads TCU in scoring at 13.1 points per game, adding a team high of 102 assists, while Kenrich Williams leads the team in rebounds with 6.8 per game. Anderson scored 14 points in the team's previous victory against the Cowboys.
TCU is third in the Big 12 in scoring defense, allowing only 60 points per game; however, it comes in seventh in the league in scoring offense. Statistically, TCU has held its own, but it can't seem to get away with victories.
Junior Perry Ellis is coming off a 19-point, five-rebound effort in the loss to West Virginia. Ellis missed a go-ahead layup with three seconds left that led to Kansas' loss. Sophomore Frank Mason scored 18 points of his own.
Kansas has not lost to TCU since 2013, in which the Horned Frogs won their first Big 12 victory. Mason led the Jayhawks in scoring in their previous matchup with TCU, scoring 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Sophomore Landen Lucas and junior Jamari Traylor each had three blocks in the previous game against TCU.
Kansas' 12 blocks against TCU marks its highest amount of the season and the only time double-digit blocks were recorded all year.
The Jayhawks have a onegame lead in the loss column atop the Big 12. If Kansas had found a way to defeat West Virginia, it would have gone a long way in securing an 11th-straight Big 12 championship.
Kansas' next four games against Kansas State, Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia will all be tough contests and will factor largely in settling the Big 12. Kansas cannot lose another game if it wants to have a good chance at retaining the Big 12 title.
In 2013, Kansas only won a share of the Big 12 titles. While it still counts, coach Bill Self would prefer the Jayhawks win the Big 12 title outright and get that much closer to John Wooden's record 13-straight conference titles at UCLA.

will play again this year is up in the air. No one knows the answer for sure, but there a lot less ambiguity in talking about the skill of the former VCU big man. In the 2014-15 season, Sanders' per-game numbers have taken a slight dip, but he's continued to thrive as a defensive force.
This year Sanders has had three or more blocks in 22.2 percent of his games. For comparison, Dwight Howard, who has led the NBA in blocks twice and is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, has had three or more blocks in just 18.8 percent of his outings this season.
Additionally, when Sanders plays 25 or more minutes, he's averaging 10.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, and he'd had some pretty solid outings this year. Against Minnesota in November, Sanders posted 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocks in just 28 minutes — just a few steals and assists away from posting a five-by-five, which is one of the NBA's rarest stat lines. According
to NBAHoopsOnline.com.
Sanders would've become just the fifth player in the 21st century to record such a line.
top 20 in the NBA in block percentage and defensive box plus/minus as well.
The skillset is there, and there's certainly a market for talented big men, especially among the NBAs elite.
In an article Monday, ESPN's Marc Stein went as far as to call Sanders "one of the league's most impactful defensive big men," even while missing some
"THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS, GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS, HOUSTON ROCKETS AND TORONTO RAPTORS ARE JUST SOME OF THE MANY TEAMS THAT COULD USE A PLAYER LIKE SANDERS."
SportsNet writer Michael Grange noted on Twitter that the Raptors could be a team to watch, while Orlando Sentinel columnist Brian Schmitz and Fox Sports writer Sam Amico suggested that the Magic and Cavaliers could be contenders as well.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors are just some of the many teams that could use a player like Sanders. Case in point, Dallas just brought in Amare' Stoudemire to help with its postseason aspirations. If the Mavericks believe a 32-year-old who has played in more than 770 career games will help them, it's not at all absurd to suggest that a better, 26-year-old player can't have the same impact on a team.
games this year. For a team to sign Sanders, it does have to take on the risks that are his off-the-court issues. However, if he's willing to do a slightly smaller deal, then there's no reason that Sanders can't help a team.
Simply put, the interest is there. The talent is there. Larry Sanders can help a contender
Per 40 minutes, Sanders and Stoudemire effectively average the same rebounds and assists, while Sanders is far better in the blocks, steals and turnovers columns. Sanders is also in the

There has been no shortage of trade free agent and
"NO"
buyout rumors as the trade deadline is today at 2 p.m. (CT). According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks have officially bought out big man Larry Sanders. It is possible that some playoff teams will go after his services, but that is a big risk that is not worth the possible reward.
decent player. It would be difficult for Sanders to mesh with a locker room midway through the season, even if that locker room is one with veteran leadership. He could help a multitude of playoff teams if they can just get him to play basketball, but he has problems that extend far beyond basketball that will not allow that to happen.
First, there is his physical health. Sanders played in just 50 games in the past two seasons. He tore a ligament in his thumb during a fight at a Milwaukee nightclub.
Sanders is one of the more talented defensive big men in the NBA. In the 2012- 2013 season, he averaged 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game. He was rewarded with a four-year, $44 million contract extension in the summer of 2013.
Since then, Sanders has appeared in just 50 games. When he has been able to play, he has still been a
"SANDERS COULD HAVE PLAYED LAST WEEK AGAINST THE SACRAMENTO KINGS, BUT HE WAS LISTED AS OUT BECAUSE OF 'PERSONAL REASONS.' "
He also fractured his right orbital bone, but that happened during a basketball game.
This season, Sanders has not appeared in a game for the Bucks since before Christmas. Initially, it was said he had an illness, but that morphed into "personal reasons." At one point, it was rumored he was ready to walk away from basketball altogether. Does a playoff
team really want to bring on a guy, midseason, who was unsure about playing basketball just one month ago?
"I'm trying to get to the root of a lot of issues and get them corrected," Sanders told NBA.com in January. "Without getting them corrected, I don't think basketball is something I could do."
In mid-lanuary, Sanders received a 10-game suspension from the NBA for violating the league's anti-drug policy after failing a drug test. This marked the fourth time he has violated the policy.
Sanders could have played last week against the Sacramento Kings, but he was listed as out because of "personal reasons."
During the summer, I would advocate for a team to sign him because that would mean he would have the entire training camp to get to know the organization and the players. There is no denying Sanders is a talented NBA player, it is not worth the risk for a playoff team to bring on a distraction like Sanders in the middle of the season, because his talent does not outweigh his risks.

Sophomore forward Caelynn Manning-Allen keeps the ball away from her opponent in the game against Texas on Feb. 14. Kansas plays OSU Saturday.

@dmantheman2011
Standing alone at the bottom of the Big 12 Conference, Kansas (13-14, 4-10), currently on a fourgame losing streak, looks to bounce back after a late comeback that fell short Tuesday at TCU. Kansas travels to Stillwater, Okla., to take on Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The two teams will meet for the second time in two weeks. The Cowgirls pulled away in the late stages of the Feb. 7 matchup, 65-57, in Lawrence.
After two historic games, senior guard Natalie Knight joined the 1,000-point club last Saturday, reaching a career high in points scored in a game. Knight came out of a scoring funk with 29 points Tuesday at TCU. Knight now sits at 10th in the Big 12 scoring, averaging 12.6 points per game.
Kansas sits one game back for a seventh place tie that includes Kansas State, West Virginia and Texas Tech. Kansas can still move up with wins for the rest of the regular season before the Big 12 Tournament next month.
Kansas remains on schedule with two away games at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and two home games against Kansas State and Iowa State.
Oklahoma State is in a tie for third place in the Big 12 standings, with a threegame lead over Kansas. The Cowgirls traveled to West Virginia and defeated the Mountaineers 52-46 on Wednesday.
Ever since defeating the
Jayhawks on Feb. 7, the Cowgirls have won their last three contests against both Texas and Iowa State at home last week.
The Cowgirls are led by junior guard Brittney Martin, who sits eighth in the conference in scoring averaging 12.8 points per game. Senior guard Liz Donohoe sits 12th in the conference in scoring averaging 11.8 points per game. Sophomore guard Roshunda Johnson rounds out the top 15 in scoring averaging 11.6 points per game.
After her 20 points against
11 Kansas wants to end its losing streak, they need to be playing consistently and taking care of the basketball. Problems in the past two games included rebounding and turnovers. TCU scored 27 points off 20 turnovers.
TCU, Kansas senior forward Chelsea Gardner still ranks third in the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 16.4 points per game.
Tip off from Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., is at 7 p.m. Saturday.

KANSAS TIPOFF
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
ATA GLANCE
TCU
Kansas previously lost to West Virginia in Morgantown, making it the fifth road loss of the season and the third road loss in the Big 12 conference. Good thing, the Jayhawks are playing TCU in Allen Fieldhouse, where Kansas hasn't lost this season. The Jayhawks hold a one-game lead in the Big 12 over Iowa State and can inch closer to its 11th Big 12 title with a win against the Homed Frogs.
Landen Lucas, sophomore forward
After Kansas allowed 22 offensive rebounds against West Virginia, something has to change in order to keep the opponents off the offensive glass. Alexander wasn't able to do it; Jamani Traylor wasn't able to do it; but Landen Lucas was effective Monday and against Baylor on Saturday. Lucas played 16 minutes and was second on the team with six rebounds. If Alexander can't handle the starting spot, Lucas will be the first off the bench.
QUESTION MARK
PLAYER TO WATCH
What happened to all the three-pointers?
For the majority of the season, Kansas relied on the three-point shot as its safe valve. As coach Bill Self has said all season, Kansas could get stuck shooting three-pointers just to keep the team in games. Self might be wrong in this case. Kansas averages 16 three-pointer attempts per game, and the Jayhawks lost three out of five games when they shot under that. Kansas shot only 11 threes during the loss against West Virginia. If Kansas wants to win consistently, the Jayhawks need to shoot the ball consistently from behind the arc.
BY THE NUMBERS
41
Kansas has defeated TCU in Allen Fieldhouse by an average of 28 points since the team joined the Big 12.
Wayne Selden Jr. is second in the Big 12 with 41 percent from behind the arc.
KANSAS VS. TCU FEB. 21,3 P.M., LAWRENCE
113
28
Frank Mason is third in the Big 12 with 113 assists on the season.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF
Perry Ellis continues his scoring streak. After missing the game winning layup as time expired in the loss to West Virginia, the last thing Kansas fans want to see Ellis do is not recover from the traumatic loss. The Kansas offense revolves around Ellis, in four of the five loses, Ellis failed to score in double figures. If Ellis can't bounce back, the Jayhawks will have trouble finding ways to score and will have to rely on someone else to power the offense.
BASKETBALL GAMEDAY
KU
No.8 KANSAS (21-5, 10-3 Big 12)
PROJECTED STARTERS
A. JOHNSON
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
The sophomore disappeared against West Virginia — scoring four points while shooting 40 percent from the field. In the beginning of the season, everyone wanted Selden to drive to the basket more, but since his three-game stretch of shooting 12-for-16 from behind the arc, people have changed their mind. His three-point shot has developed into his best attribute.
★★★★☆
SAMUEL WATSON
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard
After breaking his 20-game double-figure scoring streak against Baylor, Mason brought back his scoring keys. The sophomore scored 18 points in the loss to West Virginia, but it's what he didn't do against West Virginia that was surprising. Mason only had two assists. The Jayhawks don't need Mason to become the leading scorer; instead, Kansas needs Mason to be the facilitator of the basketball.
★★★☆
P
Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard
Hands down, Oubre is the best NBA prospect on the team, and he's been playing like it recently. Against West Virginia, Oubre tied for second on the team, scoring 18 points and hitting both three-point attempts. He is more consistent on defense than on offense. Oubre steps up on defense—leading the team in steals with more than one per game, and against West Virginia. Oubre had three total steals, which turned into baskets.
★★★★☆
BASIL ABDULRAFAZ
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Ellis was honored with the Big 12 player of the week award. The lone junior in the starting lineup leads the team in scoring (13.3 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg), and Ellis has scored in double figures in nine of the last 10 games. It will be interesting to see how Ellis bounces back after missing the game-winning layup against West Virginia, but he still scored a team-high of 19 points.
★★★★★
PRESIDENT
Cliff Alexander, freshman, forward
Alexander's third start of the season didn't go as planned against West Virginia. The freshman only played six minutes. Alexander is known for his rebounding skills, and against West Virginia, he only had one defensive rebound, while allowing 11 offensive rebounds in the first half. If he continues to play soft and not contribute in the paint, Self will have no choice but to start
TCU (16-10,3-10 Big 12)
★★★☆☆
PROJECTED STARTERS
Kyan Anderson, senior, guard
Kyan Anderson, senior, guard
Anderson is seventh in the league in scoring with 13.7 per game. He fifth in assists (a) eight in assist-to-hurrow ratio and is the best free-throw shooter in Big 12 (66.9 percent).
Anderson is also the ninth most efficient three-point shooter in the conference. Against Kansas, Anderson had 17 points, five rebounds, two assists and five turnovers
★★★★
Trev Zeigler, senior, guard
Hey Zeiger, join me and
Zeiger averages 8.8 points per game and 4.1 rebounds.
He's shot a fair 45.4 percent from the field, but the number may be inflated because he rarely shoots the three — just five attempts all season. His 1.21 assist-to-turnover ratio gives reason to think Kansas can exploit this matchup.
Last time playing against the Jayhawks, Zeiger notched a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
★★★☆☆
2014
Kenrich Williams, sophomore, forward
A transfer from New Mexico Junior College. Williams ranks fifth in the Big 12 in field-goal percentage. His calling card is his intensity, which may get him to the foul line, but when he does get there he shoots a wowful 58 percent. Williams dropped 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting against Kansas, including nine rebounds.
★★★★☆
NBA
Crisis Washburn, sophomore, forward
Averaging 6.8 points per game and 5.7 rebounds, Washburn has still not figured it out completely. But Saturday's 10-point, nine-rebound performance may have helped out his confidence heading into Wednesday. Washburn is sixth in the conference in blocked shots per game (1.53) and may be matched up on Peny Ellis. Last time against the Jayhawks he finished with seven points, 12 rebounds and two blocks.
★★★☆☆
D.J. HAMMOND
Karviar Shepherd, sophomore, center
The 6-foot-10 center averages 24.3 minutes per game, six minutes down from last season, and 6.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. Getting the ball to go through the ring has been the biggest issue for Shepherd this season, who shoots just 44 percent from the field, averaging 4.8 points over the past five games. Still, his size will test Kansas in the frontcourt Wednesday.

AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
Since its first matchup with Kansas, a comeback attempt that fell short in a 64-61 loss inside the Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center, the Horned Frogs have lost in Ames, Iowa (as most teams do), kept things respectable against Baylor, played Oklahoma tough, let Texas run away in Austin, and upened Oklahoma State, 70-55. TCU coach Trent Johnson was pleased with the way his team shot the ball in the team's lone win, as that has been a recurring issue this season.
Amric Fields, senior forward
Coming off the bench at 6-foot-9, 220 pounds, fields gives TCU's frontcount more length, which is key in this conference. He uses that reach for 3.1 rebounds and 7.1 points in just 16.2 minutes per game. Fields was held to just one point in 12 minutes against Kansas.
Can Kansas clean things up?
QUESTION MARK
Last time these two teams took the same floor, coach Bill Self said Kansas wasn't competitive or tough, and the energy level was horrific. Kansas was out-rebounded 26-9 on the offensive glass. While TCU missed 50 shots from the field, made just two of the 12 three-pointers (16.7 percent) and was 15-of-29 (51.7 percent) from the line, it still had possession of the ball in the last seconds with a chance to tie. Kansas didn't take care of the basketball, turning it over 14 times, five of which were unrelated to TCU steals.
BY THE NUMBERS

BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
@
Kansas does not exact revenge for the West Virginia loss on an inferior TCU team. The Jayhawks took care of business in Fort Worth, Texas — "taking care of business" used lightly since they were saved by the bell. After the victory, Self was as upset as he was following the West Virginia loss Monday night. As February comes to a close, Kansas wants to win some games going away to take some pressure off itself, and prove that it is a top-flight team come tournament time.

KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Kansas pitcher Drew Morovick throws a strike against Wichita State last season. Kansas will play in Arizona this weekend.
The Jayhawks head down to the heat of the southwest to try and catch fire this weekend in the Big 12/Pac-12 Challenge.
The lajhwacks will attempt to earn their first win of the season at 2 p.m. Thursday against Washington at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz., followed by a game against Uwha at 5:30 p.m. Friday.
The team will then head to the spring home stadium of the Kansas City Royals in Surprise, Ariz. The Jayhawks will square off against Washington State at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and then close out the weekend against Oregon State at noon Sunday.
WASHINGTON (4-0)
Junior right-hander Hayden Edwards will make his first start of his career on Thursday against the Huskies. He ended the 2014 season with a 2.08 ERA, pitching as a reliever in six games for the Jayhawks. Edwards also made an appearance earlier this season against LSU where he pitched in two innings, only allowing one hit.
Ims will be a special game for the Jayhawks' freshman third baseman Matt McLaughlin whose uncle, Lindsay Meggs, is the coach for the Huskies and cousin, Jack Meggs, plays outfield.
"I am looking forward to it," McLaughlin said, according to a press release from KU Athletics. "It is going to be a lot of fun playing against family."
The Jayhawks lead the all-time series against the Huskies 2-1.
JTAH (1-3)
Kansas looks to even out the all-time series (5-6) against Utah with Drew Morovick starting on the mound. The senior recorded four strikeouts in his start against LSU last weekend. Morovick will go头-to-head against Utah's Dalton Carroll, who has pitched 2.1 innings this season giving up four hits and three earned runs.
The Utes have played four games this season, all against Sacramento State. After winning the first game of the series they dropped three straight, putting them at 1-3 on the season.
WASHINGTON STATE (2-2)
Junior Ben Krauth will make his second start for Kansas in the Jayhawks' first-ever meeting with the Cougars. Krauth pitched 4.1 innings last weekend and sent three LSU batters back to the dugout with strikeouts. The Cougars will start Joe Pistorese, who has started one game this season. Against Missouri State, Pistorese pitched just over an inning and allowed three runs.
The Cougars have two wins on the season, dominating Texas-Arlington 8-2 and defeating Stephen F. Austin in a squeaker 4-3.
OREGON STATE (2-2)
Sophomore Sean Rackoski will finish up the weekend against the Beavers, who have been to six straight NCAA tournaments, including a College World Series appearance in 2013.
The Beavers started out the season with two wins against Big Ten teams; however, they have dropped their last two to New Mexico.
Senior Blair Beck has been huge at the plate so far this season. The first baseman is hitting a .375 batting average with three hits, including a home run, in eight at-bats. Beck also recorded 19 putouts in the field with no errors last weekend.
The Jayhawks lost the only meeting between the two teams and look to tie up the all-time series against the perennial power Sunday.
IMPACT PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR
Edited by Mackenzie Clark
Also watch for second baseman Colby Wright to make an impact in the batter's box after getting on base seven out of his 10 at-bats last weekend. The junior recorded three base hits and wore an absurd four pitches against LSU, earning him four walks.

Kansas tennis heads to Colorado for a pair of ranked matches
The second match of the weekend
No. 75 Kansas will head to Colorado over the weekend for a pair of matches against ranked teams No. 65 Denver and No. 68 Colorado.
The Jayhawks will square off against former player sophomore Morgan Barnhill who in one year at Kansas, boasted a 10-3 record in doubles play and was 4-8 in singles.
The Jayhawks moved into the rankings themselves after picking up a tightly contested win against Houston last Saturday in their home opener.
Denver, Kansas' first opponent, sports a 2-3 record on the season after falling to No. 64 New Mexico at home last weekend by a score of 4-3. The Jayhawks fell to New Mexico by the same score in January.
will pit the Jayhawks against former Big 12 opponent Colorado. The Buffaloes hold a 6-1 record on the year with its lone loss coming against Wichita State 5-1. Kansas dropped its matchup with Wichita State 6-1 last week.
Colorado is coming off a 5-2 victory over New Mexico and will face Nevada on Saturday before squaring off with Kansas on Sunday.
The Buffaloes are led by senior Julyette Steur who has a perfect 7-0 record in singles play on the year and freshman Tina Bokhua who is 6-1.
The Jayhawks will also face Ashley Tiefel, a senior out of Leawood, Kan. Tiefel, a Blue Valley High School graduate, is currently 2-0.
Kansas hopes to get strong play from last weekend's heroes freshmen Summer Collins and Smith Hinton who picked up consecutive singles wins late in Saturday's match to drop Houston 4-3.
Play is set to begin at 5 p.m. (CT) on Saturday, Feb. 21 in Denver. Sunday's match against Colorado will start at 1 p.m. in Boulder.

Professor publishes book on racial issues
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
American studies Professor Clarence Lang is releasing a new book, titled "Black America in the Shadow of the Sixties," which highlights the differences between the 1960s Civil Rights Movement and contemporary racial issues in the United States.
PETER MCKINLEY
"I'm offering an appeal for us to push ourselves to think about political frameworks that are more suited to where we are today," Lang said.
Lang's new work will be released Feb. 28. It is his second book.
LANG
His first book, "Grassroots at the Gateway: Class Politics and Black Freedom Struggle in St. Louis 1936-75," included many primary documents and opinions from others, but his new book reads more like an essay, Lang said. Lang's new book took about two years to complete.
"What I'm arguing is that because [the 1960s were] such a significant period in our relatively recent past, because it's been mythologized in media and in scholarship," Lang said, "we tend to read the present or interact with the present against the backdrop of that period."
Lang's argument is that contemporary issues on race are often compared to the 1960s, based on an inaccurate account of the 1960s Civil
Rights Movement. The wellknown nonviolent protests were not the only methods of activism happening at the time.
"If we look at the '60s as a model for how black protest should work, that gives us a very narrow conception of what that is, because nonviolent direct action was not the only strategy during the 60s," Lang said. "In the broader span of African-American history, nonviolent direct action has not been the dominant strategy."
Another misconception Lang pointed out was that black clergy — figures like Martin Luther King Jr. — did not play the central role in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement as media and scholarship often portray. Lang said that many other factors, including the legal system and even armed self-defense, played parts in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
Contemporary issues Lang's book focus on are the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and the political unrest over the past year in Ferguson, Mo., surrounding the shooting of Michael Brown.
As for how these issues relate to the University, Lang said he believes universities around the country must continually strive to achieve diversity among those who study or work within the institution.
"We have to continue to push ourselves and others to make sure that the University as an institution is something that is accessible to the many and not to the few." Lang said. "That means that we have to be mindful of making sure that the University is a place where, for example, people of color are present as students, staff, faculty and administration."
"In other words, part of our
task is to make the University work like the society it claims to represent."
The University's Black Student Union President Josh Robinson said he did not feel that the University has done a good job of representing that society.
"The University struggles with allowing minority students to have a voice. KU is a very accepting university, but a lot of African-American students have not felt welcomed here," Robinson said. "I think where the racial issues come in is that students of color, not just black students, are not feeling included or welcomed.
The University has to make strides to help make students of color feel accepted here."
Robinson said he viewed America as a diverse country, but he did not believe that the University mirrored that.

Associate vice provost responds to KUJBS tweet

@AllisonCristUDK
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost of student affairs, has responded to the negativity toward the Jayhawk Buddy System program after a controversial tweet that left students upset on Sunday, Feb. 8.
DeSalvo would not release the name of the person who made the tweet, nor describe how he or she was dealt with, because it is a personnel matter. He provided no comment as to whether that person still has access to the account. But he did mention there has been a marked reduction in tweets that have gone out since the controversial tweet.
"We've looked into the matter and addressed the situation in regards to the tweets that were issued," DeSalvo said. "We all say things we wish we hadn't or that we want back. The first tweet, regardless of the intention, we want that
DeSalvo added he was much more disappointed in the second and third tweets that followed because he found them disrespectful to those who were offended or upset.
back."
"We generally are respectful, and this is one of those times where we could've and should've done better," DeSalvo said.
"In the future, we will continue to narrow our focus on the positive behaviors of students," DeSalvo added. "We will be supportive of all students and focus on the positive behaviors, like staying together, checking on each other and agreeing to stay together, as the norm for jayhawks."
Completely separate from the current incident is a tweet that was sent out by the KUJS Twitter account on New Year's Eve and recently
This isn't the first time the Buddy System account has deleted a controversial tweet.
"Hoping you might get lucky tonight? Nobody gets luck in a hospital ER or city jail. Ok maybe in jail, if that's your idea of a good time," @KUJBS tweeted, only to delete it shortly after.
After being asked about the additional tweet from New Years Eve, DeSalvo said, "This is another one of those where we probably could've said the message in a better way. When we realized that, we took it down."

DeSalvo wanted to reiterate his regret about the situation.
"We've worked very hard

to create a very positive image for the Buddy System, and folks have received it well. We just want our followers to know that we will continue to increase our awareness and sensitivity to these kinds of issues and continue to support them in ways that will allow them to be successful," DeSalvo said.
Freshman Kaycee De Graaf from Marseilles, the ill., who responded to the original
tweet, was glad to see that the matter was brought to the attention of someone at the administrative level.
MARIE MCDONALD
"It's nice that they can see how it was wrong," De Graaf said. "I hope something like this shows that, [because] they are an account directly correlated with the University, [the tweets] are a representation of KU."

CHRIS NEAL/ASSOCIATED PRESS
A crowd of people that gathered to rally against Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's rescinding of an executive order that offered protections on basis of sexual orientation Saturday, Feb. 14 break out in song with the lyrics of "take back, take back Kansas," after listening to speakers on the South steps of the Kansas statehouse in Topeka.
This has been quite a month for Gov. Sam Brownback. Within
a few short weeks, he not only announced plans to cut $44.5 million from the education budget to compensate for the state's dire fiscal conditions, he has also revoked anti-discrimination protections from LGBTQ state employees. Like most students, I was outraged at these events. Nevertheless, I cannot say they surprised me. By largely ignoring the responsibility of voting, young Kansans have played an important role in enabling the governor's actions. It is only through exercising our collective influence through political action that we can alter the dangerous path our state is on.
The political logic behind his second move is simple. The Kansas government is facing a budget shortfall of almost $250 million, according to The Kansas City Star. Brownback distracted the public from the deficit by revoking anti-discrimination guarantees in state employment. This has stoked a great deal of public debate, which ended up taking attention away from the state's balance sheet.
His decision to take a hatchet to the education budget calls for further analysis. Why does our government consistently target education spending? Why does Brownback pursue initiatives that are obviously unpopular, especially among young voters?
Based on the last election's results, Brownback knows he can win without their support. The 2014 elections appear to have affirmed this belief. Despite only receiving 38 percent of the vote among people ages 18 to 29, Brownback went on to claim
a narrow victory over Paul Davis, winning 50 percent of the vote, according to CNN exit polls.
Brownback was victorious despite the overwhelming decrease in youth votes, due to voter turnout. According to the same exit polls, voters between the ages of 18 and 29 accounted for only 11 percent of the Kansas electorate in 2014. Overall, this demographic group accounts for roughly a quarter of the voting-age population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Although it was within the power of young adults to oust the governor from
nis position, they simply did not show up in strong enough numbers. By largely taking themselves out of the electoral equation, Brownback doesn't cater to young voters. The opinion of young adults is irrelevant to his continuing support among the electorate and within the legislature.
Apathy among young voters also allows many lawmakers within the state legislature to freely support Brownback's policies with total impunity. Without the fear of being rebuked by voters, the legislature's potential check on the governor's initiatives is effectively
removed.
In order to change this dangerous status quo, young adults must begin to fully participate within their government, whether it be through voting, protesting or even running for office. We have enabled Brownback to drain Kansas schools of funding and strip anti-discrimination protections from an entire subsection of government employees. It is up to the young voters of Kansas to play an active role in reversing these policies.

ASK KANSAN SPECIAL ANISSA
My friend has had a crush on this guy for a while, but she doesn't know that me and that same guy have been talking recently. I really like him, but I obviously value her friendship. Should I tell her the truth or just drop the guy?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
Think back on your biggest regret(s). The moments in our lives we look back on, wishing we had done something differently, stem from dangerous assumptions. Never assume you won't get the job. Never assume you know what will be on the test. And never assume your friend won't understand you and this guy developing feelings for each other. Assumptions like these lead to no job, a bad test grade and losing out on what could be a successful relationship
Getting through college would be nearly impossible if it weren't for friends. When the risk of losing one comes along, it can be nerve-wracking and uncomfortable. If you care about her this much, I can only imagine she cares about you, too. The cornerstone of a good friendship is honesty. She needs to know you care and want to be honest with her, which is why you are approaching her about this.
Tell her how much you value her friendship and how boys will never be more important than that. History has shown that boyfriends and girlfriends
leave, while friends stick around. Explain you would not bring this to her attention if the feelings between you and him weren't serious (and more than a one night stand. If that is the case, stop messing around with this guy, and be a decent friend). She needs to understand that you prioritize her friendship over him, and the only way you would continue seeing him is if she is 100 percent OK with it. If she isn't comfortable with you pursuing this guy because of her feelings for him, make sure you let her know you understand and respect her decision to the fullest (and mean what you say).

As awkward as it may be, you need to be upfront with her. It shows you respect her and the friendship you two share — and in return she'll respect you for it. Don't cut yourself short by assuming how things will turn out and how she will react. You'll be amazed at how understanding people can be.
Vegetarianism has positive impacts on environment, body
Kanika Kshirsagar @sneakykaniky
I've been a vegetarian my whole life, and I have never seen a reason to change my decision. When I share this information, most drop their jaws in awe while furrowing their brows in confusion. I get asked questions like, "How do you survive?" or comments such as "I think you would change your mind if you had a burger." I tell them the reasons for my lifestyle choice are nutritional, ethical and environmental.
Growing up in an Indian-Hindu household instilled these beliefs in me. In the Hindu religion, every living thing has a soul and therefore has the right to live. Taking away these rights is viewed as unfair — especially because it is possible to live a healthy life without consuming meat. We may have more power over animals, but that doesn't mean we should exercise our power in this way. Unfortunately, we live in a time where self-satisfaction has the ability to easily overshadow ethics.
There are also comparisons between herbivores and humans that have drawn theories toward the belief that humans weren't meant to eat meat to begin with. Cardiologist William C. Roberts, who is the editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Cardiology and medical director of the cardiovascular institute at Baylor University Medical Center, compared the characteristics of herbivores and carnivores to find that humans were more similar to herbivores.
Roberts compared the carnivore's intestinal tract to herbivores. Generally, an herbivore's intestine is 12
umes its body length, while a carnivore's is three times its body length. Humans, physologically, are similar to herbivores in this aspect. If we eat less meat, our bodies will have an easier time digesting food. Also, humans and herbivores have small mouths in comparison with their head sizes; carnivores,
that the mass production of meat pollutes the air and water, and is highly dependent on oil and coal. In fact, UN scientists, economists and politicians claim the way our farms run is giving rise to many interlinked human and ecological problems. Farmers mostly raise and
Farmers mostly raise and breed four species: cows,
on the other hand, have big mouths that are better for "seizing, killing and dismembering prey," said Dr. Milton R. Mills, a nutrition specialist who works as the associate director of preventive medicine for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. He found that humans and herbivores chew their food, as opposed to swallowing it whole, as carnivores do. Furthermore, humans just lack the natural abilities to be good hunters. Dr. Neal D. Barnard, PCRM's founder and president, said it was only with the advent of tools like arrowheads and hatchets that humans became capable of hunting.
"IF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ETHICAL ASPECTS OF VEGETARIANISM DON'T CONVINCE YOU, CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ONE CAN MAKE BY SKIPPING THE BIG MAC AND MCNUGGETS."
If the physiological and ethical aspects of vegetarianism don't convince you, consider the environmental impact one can make by skipping the Big Mac and McNuggets. Global warming is a time-sensitive issue, and not changing your diet means you are adding to the deterioration of the environment. The Guardian reported
chickens, pigs and sheeps. These animals need a large amount of land, food and water to survive, grow and reproduce the way farmers intend them to. An overlooked fact is that these animals emit methane and other greenhouse gases and produce mountains of physical waste. In 2006, the UN reported the combined climate change emissions of animals bred for their meat were approximately 18 percent of the global total. That was more emissions than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.
Being a vegetarian has helped not only me, but also millions of other people live healthy and positive lives. The benefits of vegetarianism strongly overpower the cons. If sustaining from a single craving can help improve lives across the world, I see no reason to change the way I live.

Emerging musicians Hozier and Asgeir will perform at Liberty Hall tonight, Feb. 23. Asgeir has been the opening act for several dates on Hozier's current tour, and in May, he will move on to open the Australian leg of alt-It's upcoming tour.
Hozier and Asgeir are a fitting duo to tour together. The two share several commonalities aside from their musical style - they are both international artists, Hozier from Ireland and Asgeir from Iceland, and they also relate to each other in the sense that the pronunciation of their names is often butchered.
Andrew Hozier-Byrne. 24, is an Irish singer-songwriter whose hit "Take Me To Church" earned him a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Åsgeir Trausti, 22, is an Icelandic singer-songwriter whose debut album, "Dyrð i dauðaþogn," won Album of the Year in 2012 at the Icelandic Music Awards. In 2013, Åsgeir re-released, "In the Silence," as an English translation of his debut album. Åsgeir said the biggest challenge in translating the album was finding the right words for some of the lyrics, since he wanted the translation to be direct.
Several of the lyrics are lines of poetry Asgeir strung together that were written by his father. Asgeir said his father was always supportive of his creativity and that he always came with him to concerts when he was younger. Asgeir said he first expressed an interest in music at 6 years old when he had his first guitar.
"I went to school with maybe eight guys or something and there were two teachers in the school — my mom and my dad," he said. "Once a week, there was a music teacher, a guy that was only 21 years old at that time, but he came over and taught classes. So every guy
in school was playing guitar, electric guitar or classical guitar."
Asgeir cites Nirvana as an early influence and inspiration to his music as well. A chilling and stripped down cover of the group's track "Heart Shaped Box" is included in "In the Silence."
Nirvana was actually of the bands that got into music when I was, surprisingly even in north Iceland. But as a band that I got with when I was 7," he said. "This just one of my faes of theirs. ... So not the time when home for a few was just a fun idea around with something that was so, doing things totally new out and, you know, the melly, is just, it's a powerful ing. It was fun to do something else with it, something different."
Having time at home to record is one thing Asgeir said he misses while on tour.
"I think I just miss the comforts of home, the secure environment," he said. "There's always some stress and something that follows you being in a different city every day and adjusting, but now I've gotten used to that."
He said he definitely misses family and friends as well
es family and friends as well. When asked what the most memorable part of the tour has been so far, though it only started weeks ago, he said Minneapolis was memorable because of how cold it was. He said he also always looks forward to being in Seattle and enjoys Los Angeles, as well.
Though, regardless of location, he said, "We always play some legendary historical venues, so that's great."
The rigorous schedule of traveling and touring is tiresome for any artist, though especially taxing for an international artist who is even further from home.
He said he is excited for his upcoming tour with alt-J in Australia, and he looks forward to the new experience and playing some of the country's large venues.
Asgeir said, though it probably sounds like a cliche, the best piece of advice he has received is to be yourself. He said this is especially important to remember while on the road when he is meeting new people everyday and being on stage.
"Everyone goes through that," he said. "Consciously or unconsciously, that they are trying to be something they are not. It just takes a lot of energy out of you and you'll never come across. I would definitely have to say that's one of the best [pieces of] advice I have had, that would be the one."
In terms of looking ahead, Asgeir said he is excited for his time off following this tour.
"I'm most excited about finishing this tour we have ahead of us and going back home for some proper time off to record the next album, or write the next album," he said. "I kind of set up my own studio at home before I went on this tour, so when I get back, I'm just going to go there and stay there for a long time."

Sharp Sisters steal show, win KU's Got Talent
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Taylor Swift may soon be facing some fresh-faced competition. At this year's KU's Got Talent, The Sharp Sisters, freshman twins Kelley and Amanda Sharp from Olathe, won the show singing and playing guitar to their original song "Burn the Haystack."
KU's Got Talent was the first performance that the two used both electric and acoustic guitars together in public.
“[Amanda's] guitar solo was pretty awesome and was a pretty cool moment,” Kelley said.
Amanda said though the $400 prize money was a strong motivator for entering KU's Got Talent, the two also were eager to showcase their music and see how they compared with other college-level talent.
This wasn't the twins' first experience with a talent competition, though. They have previously competed in Olathe's Got Talent, and earlier this year, the twins tried out for America's Got Talent. The two are waiting to hear if they will advance in the competition. Kelley said they should know in March or April if they are selected to be on the televised version of the show.
"It was a good validator," Kelley said. "It's always nice when someone tells you you're doing a good job."
After the event, Kelley said she was surprised at how KU's Got Talent turned out and that they were both happy with the comments the judges gave them.
On the other hand, she said constructive criticism is crucial.
"Whether it's good or bad, or something you don't want to hear, it'll improve you if you listen to it," she said.
The two said their biggest inspiration is Taylor Swift, whom they had the chance to meet on her tour bus.
“It's so cliché.” Amanda said, “but we saw that she was a real person who is following her dreams and creating cool music, and we've always been inspired by that.”
Kelley said they would like to create a fanbase like Swift did.
"She's such a smart lyricist," Kelley said. "And the way she writes and connects to audiences, she's very genuine with how she acts with her fans, and I think that's really important."
Although they've been singing their whole lives, the twins became interested in guitar in fourth grade after reading an article about Aly and AJ, a musical duo they were following.
"We got guitars in fourth grade and decided we would be a band," Amanda said. "Back then it was a wild dream, but now it's becoming a reality."
Amanda recalled one such instance at their America's Got Talent audition.
"We got into the audition,
The twins said playing and singing together was a no-brainer.
"We're so much stronger together than we ever are apart," Kelley said. "She gets me. Whenever we're on stage and I miss a note or a lyric, we follow other really well."
A few weeks ago, the twins attended the Grammys and said it was an eye-opening experience on what it would take to make it in the music industry.
The two also have a backup plan in case their music doesn't work out. Both Sharp sisters are going into medicine, and chose the University because of its program here.
Kelley said the biggest challenge the two are currently facing is trying to find a way to get their music out there.
"We grew up Jayhawks. Both of our parents went to KU." Amanda said.
and I did [a part of the song] wrong, but Kelley knew me so well that she sung it wrong too," Amanda said.
Kelley agreed and said it's a good place for them to be.
As of now, Kelley said, the two are looking for more local places to play music and to get more involved at events. Amanda said they hope to make it on America's Got Talent and to continue seeking out other opportunities.
"You never know where [music] is going to take you," Kelley said. "I never thought we would be competing in KU's Got Talent or anything like that. You just never know what's going to happen, that's the exciting part about music."
Amanda said the goal is to not get discouraged.
"There's so many opportunities," she said. "Even [when] some of them don't work out, there are so many more to pursue. You just have to tune in and find them."

the first and foremost thing. I definitely want to dance the rest of my life, that's number one. It's hard to get away from it because it's a fun thing to do."
The Kansan also sat down with the runners-up in the competition. Bryton Stoll, a sophomore from Marysville, placed second with his two original songs "A Long Ways from Nowhere" and "Finger on the Trigger." Vann Hassell, a freshman from Tyler, Texas, placed third and received the honor of fan favorite for his freestyle jump roping.
Q/A WITH STROLL AND HASSEL
KANSAN: Why did you enter KU's got talent, and how did you feel when you placed?
STOLL: "I got an email because I'd done some open mic nights, and it sounded like a fun thing to do to get my name out there and maybe win some cash. It was great. I was pretty worried because everybody was really good and being recognized in the top was awesome."
STOLL: "I say it's because what I love to do, that's kind of
KANSAN: What's been your biggest inspiration behind your work so far?
HASSELL: "I saw the advertisement for it and had jump roped in other talent shows and enjoy performing and introducing people to jump roping and decided to try out. I wasn't expecting to win and did it for fun and to see how people get inspired by it. It was exciting to get third place out of all these really talented people; it was a huge honor."
HASSELL: "My biggest inspiration is probably my PE coach Judy Stanley that I had back in second grade school, then another coach, Tracy Berg, from fifth grade on. My first coach was more of a club coach and encouraged me to try new tricks. When I started competing, my coach for competition pushed me to go faster, try harder and try new combs."
KANSAN: Where do you see this talent taking you in the future?
STOLL: "Hopefully, to a career in music. I'm studying mechanical engineering; supposedly, that's my back up plan. I would really enjoy if I could make it as a performer singing and playing guitar. Anywhere in music would be fantastic; I've thought about the recording business or something too."
HASSELL: "Personally, I don't have a ton of plans for it. I love teaching younger people to jump rope — I enjoy seeing that. For me, jump roping is an outlet to stay fit and teach kids. If any pros ever get into Olympics, I would definitely watch, but would not compete."

AskHerMore urges Oscars reporters to ask poignant, non-sexist questions
Sarah Gardingley
Kelly Cordingley
@kellycordingley
T the red carpet at the Oscars is always a flurry of tuxedos
for major awards and how important it is for women to be represented.
and evening gowns lined with reporters scrambling to interview the most famous stars. While the red carpet is a fine time to show off a gorgeous, expensive dress, it seems the dress has been the focal point of the interview rather than the careers and successes of the woman wearing the dress.
Those kinds of sexist questions are what The Representation Project's hashtag #AskHerMore aims to combat. According to its website, the hashtag is meant to send suggested questions to reporters and initiate deeper discussions rather than just whether an actress likes being blonde better than being a redhead.
This year, the tides are turning.
CNN's Michaela Pereira and Don Lemon, along with El Entertainment's Ryan Seacrest and various other news organizations were present on the red carpet. Pereira's guest, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine Joanna Coles, noted the lack of women up
Lemon spoke to actress Laura Dern from "Wild" who is up for Best Supporting Actress.
"The dress is great, but the work is more important," Lemon said.
Dern thanked him for asking the important questions, rather than just about who she was wearing
In stark contrast to Lemon's poignant question were El's Ryan Seacrest's questions of the night that have sparked outrage on Twitter. Seacrest asked "50 Shades of Grey" actress Dakota Johnson if she took home any props from the film. He also asked actress Lupita Nyong'o who she was wearing, but neglected to ask the two men before her that same question.
"This is a movement to say, 'We're more than just our dresses.' "
REESE WITHERSPOON
Actress
Reese Witherspoon and Amy Poehler have taken hold of this hashtag and publicized their support. Poehler's twitter handle, @smrtgrls, tweeted that it is time for the red carpet to become more interesting and that she was thrilled Witherspoon was on board to talk about and answer
tough questions.
Witherspoon was interviewed by ABC's Robin Roberts, who asked about the hashtag.
Stone was asked about dying her hair blonde for her role in "Spider-Man;" to which her off-screen boyfriend Andrew Garfield said he is never asked questions like that.
"This is a movement to say, 'We're more than just our dresses; " Witherspoon said.
Screenwriter, director and producer Shonda Rhimes, who created "Grey's Anatomy," "Scalandal" and "How to get Away with Murder," tweeted that women shouldn't be asked about what they're wearing because it takes away from focusing on their intelligence.
Mic.com was buzzing about the hashtag as well and featured tweets calling out E! Entertainment's Giuliana Rancic and Ryan Seacrest for their questions at awards shows that tended to refer to how a woman looks instead of what she has accomplished.
"You get asked interesting,
poignant questions because
you are a boy." Stone said.
Before the Oscars, Mic. com posted an article of memes of female celebrities responding to sexist comments. A few of the poignant quotes are from actresses Emma Stone, Laverne Cox and Jennifer Garner.
you are a boy, someone like Cox, who is a trans individual, had to explain
to talk-show host Wendy Williams why it is inappropriate to ask about her breasts. Garner, who is married to actor Ben Affleck, spoke about how she was asked numerous times how she balanced work and family, yet her husband never was. She found that incredibly sexist and said there has to be a change.
Although it seems some reporters have taken heed of fAskHerMore, others have not. The hashtag has created a dialogue and successfully sparked a major discussion that will hopefully permeate future award shows.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who had the best trade deadline day in the NBA?
Griffin Hughes
@Griffin]Hughes
PORTLAND
TRAIL BLAZERS
At the beginning of NBA deadline day, the Portland Trail Blazers sat in first place in their division and in good position to make the playoffs as a top-four seed. But in a Western Conference home to the best team in the NBA, the defending champion and the reigning MVP, it was clear the Blazers needed to make moves. They became one of the biggest buyers in the NBA. As a result, they came out of deadline day with the most improved roster of any top team in the league.
The Portland front office quickly identified the need for a solid on-ball defender and additional three-point shooting. With Robin Lopez turning into one of the more powerful rim protectors in the league, a lockdown on-ball defender on the perimeter could move the Blazers into the top four in the NBA in points allowed.
They also spotted the need for an energy guy, someone

who could come off the bench and score nine quick points, to give an injection to an offense that averages just over 102 points per game.

The guy they needed was Arron Affalo, and Affalo was the guy they got.
pick. They probably would have used that pick on an Afflalo-type player anyway. Instead, they got a veteran who knows the game and can draft for talent in a deep class. The most valuable player they gave up was former Kansas star Thomas Robinson, who they replaced with the Nuggets' Alonzo Gee.
Affalalo came from a college system where defense was key, and his footwork and vision defending on the perimeter are top-class. At the beginning of his career in the NBA, he played for George Karl, who turned him into one of the fiercest and most athletic defenders in the country. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches and 215 pounds, he can defend three positions on the perimeter. He also scores nearly 15 points per game and shoots 34 percent from beyond the arc.
At the end of the day, of all the teams who were active on deadline day, the Blazers came out of it with the most improved squad and became a serious title contender in the span of a few hours.
But the most important piece of the deal: the low cost. The Blazers front office essentially bought a flat

@ncouz
If there were one winner in this year's NBA trade deadline it would definitely be the Oklahoma City Thunder. Why were they winners? Well, they got rid of who didn't want to be there, as well as acquiring top-notch talent to make a long-lasting playoff run.
Oklahoma City currently
win and win now. They are certainly a franchise capable of winning a championship. They have two superstars in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. While the Thunder can't go wrong with either of those two, this trade deadline improved the team as a whole.
In this deadline, they acquired a huge shooting presence from long range in Steve Novak. Novak has averaged 43 percent from three and 44 percent from the field in his career, playing for six different

sits in eighth place in the West and was ninth just a week ago. They bypassed the Phoenix Suns, who traded brothers Goran and Zoran Dragic, as well as dising out young guard Isaiah Thomas and center Miles Plumlee. It's clear they're looking toward the future with those deals, but the Thunder are the exact opposite. They want to
The Thunder acquired these two savvy veterans
and got rid of some players demanding to leave the team. Guard Reggie Jackson has wanted out of Oklahoma City for a while, and the Thunder was able to ship him out as he wanted. Baggage and negativity out, positivity in. Kendrick Perkins' buyout made room for a transition from an older Perkins to a younger and improving Kanter. The Thunder could prove to be a force down the road in a tough Western Conference that has recently seen Golden State dominate and lead the pack. The Thunder could remain a topic of discussion. They finally have a healthy Durant back, after missing the better part of the first half of the season. With his assist buddy Westbrook alongside him, they will be a tough combination to deal with.
The Oklahoma City Thunder won this NBA trade deadline. They acquired a high-percentage shooter in Novak and a big man rebounder in Kanter. They have stocked up for the playoffs and should make a run for the No.1 seed's money this June.

Ellis lifts Kansas over TCU with electrifying performance
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
With 6:47 left to play in the game, sophomore guard Frank Mason III found junior forward Perry Ellis cutting to the rim for a massive one-handed alley-oop jam that drew an and-one. Ellis converted the free throw, giving Kansas a 14-point lead. On the next play, Ellis poked the ball free on defense and threw down another one-handed slam.
"Perry! Perry! Perry!" shouted the Allen Fieldhouse crowd on Kansas' next offensive possession. This was a much-needed moment for Ellis after five days of thinking about what could have been against West Virginia. Days removed from being called "soft" and "not clutch," Ellis had 16,300 people gasping every time he touched the ball.
Ellis led Kansas to an 81-72 victory against TCU on Saturday afternoon, posting 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field. Ellis pulled down seven boards and recorded two assists as well.
"I didn't want to let the last game affect me or my teammates," Ellis said. "I wanted to come out here, play strong and give it my all."
"It was important for him to come out and have a big game" coach Bill Self said. "I thought he played very well."
Ellis has had an incredibly up-and-down career at Kansas. A single game after cementing himself in Kansas' record books, recording his 1,000th career point in a Jayhawk uniform, Ellis missed an open layup to win the game against West Virginia. Just as Ellis seems to be winning over the hearts of fans and showing what his worth can be to this team, a strong bounce off an unfriendly rim can change everything.
Ellis came into his freshman year with a lot of expectations, but struggled to find his way early in his career, as many freshmen do. Ellis really caught fire during the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments of his freshman year. His late-season success rose expectations even more heading into his sophomore season. A quiet demeanor had fans doubting Ellis' leadership skills.
"My teammates, family and coach are always picking me up," Ellis said. "I have a strong support system."
Kansas fans expect Ellis junior season to be the year he takes over and cements himself as the veteran leader of this team. Ellis has had an impressive season, averaging 13.3 points per game on 47 percent shooting, but his play has left something to be desired.
The second half proved to be a stage for Ellis to continue to put on a show. Ellis put up 15 points in the half and didn't miss an attempt from the lane. With 3:16 to go, Ellis scored his final points of the night off an easy lay-up in the lane.
PERRY ELLIS Junior forward
"My teammates, family and coach are always picking me up. I have a strong support system."
With two minutes to play, Ellis dove after a loose ball and. went flying into a center-court media table. Ellis was unable to save the ball for Kansas, but showed the confidence and energy he was bringing to the floor.
Ellis has had the ability to put the past behind him all season. After a performance like this, it would do Ellis good to keep his momentum going and finish the season running.
Ellis showed exactly what all the hype over the past three years has been about during his most impressive outing of the season. The junior from Wichita was automatic in the second half Saturday, converting on his first six attempts from the field.
"He's really good," TCU coach Trent Johnson said. "We tried to do as good of a job as we could against him, but he going to play for money some day."
"He was very efficient," Self said. "I think this was the most easy shots he's gotten all season."

Kansas' second-half surge falls short against OSU
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Senior guard Natalie Knigh scored 20 points, but Kansas (13-15, 4-11) could not stop Oklahoma State late in the game, falling 80-76 Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.
Kansas has lost its past five games in conference play and has lost the past seven meetings against the Cowgirls.
Both teams started trading buckets in the first half with neither team getting a lead greater than four points.
KANSAS 14
Foul trouble hurt Kansas as four players would pick up two fouls each in the first half. Senior forward Chelsea Gardner, freshman guards Terriell Bradley and Chayla Cheadle, and sophomore forward Caellynn Manning-Allen each picked up fouls early.
Gardner only played the first six minutes of the half, only scoring three points.
Foul trouble was not the only thing hurting Kansas in the first half. Senior guard Asia Boyd was taken out of the game due to an injury.
Boyd came off the bench in the first half with nine points to lead Kansas in the first half. Boyd left the game with 6:22 remaining in the opening half.
In the second half, the Jayhawks trailed by eight points early in the going, but went on an 8-0 run to tie the game at 39 all, but the Cowgirls would answer with a 5-0 run of their own.
Senior forward Chelsea Gardner shoots a layup in Kansas' game against Texas on Saturday, Feb. 14. Kansas lost to Oklahoma State 80-76 this past weekend.
Gardner picked up her third personal foul with 16:06 remaining, putting her back on the bench. Cheadle picked up her third foul early in the second half as well.
Oklahoma State then used a 9-0 run to go up nine points, but Kansas came fighting back with an 8-0 run to cut the deficit to 48-47 with 10:30 remaining in the game.
Kansas got its first lead of the second half off a threepointer by Knight, bringing the score to 54-53.
RFN11P0WITZ/KANSAN
Both teams exchanged buckets again late. After the Cowgirls took control, leading by nine, the closest Kansas could get was four points after Knight hit a three-pointer, but it was with three
seconds remaining.
Kansas shot 48 percent at 24-of-50 from the field, 9-of-17 from three for 53 percent and was 19-of-26
from the free-throw line.
Knight led Kansas with 20 points, Gardner added 18 points and freshman guard Lauren Aldridge had a career-
high 16 points. Boyd, who was injured in the first half, did not play the second half.
Kansas will host instate rival Kansas State on
Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.

Ellis, Graham score big in Saturday's win against TCU

@derek_skillett
Notoriously stoic junior forward Perry Ellis cracked a smile in the second half of No. 8 Kansas' (22-5, 11-3) 81-72 victory against Texas Christian University (16-11, 3-11) inside Allen
Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.
Ellis had just thrown down a monstrous one-handed alley-oop off an assist from sophomore point guard Frank Mason III. The dunk brought the home crowd to its feet and gave Ellis his 19th of 23 total points
in the game.
"That was one of the better dunks I have had," Ellis said. "It got my teammates amped up, myself as well."
Elliis teammate, redshirt junior Jamari Traylor agreed, saying the dunk was one of the best he had seen.
"It was up there, they made

"Not many people know how much he helps us every day. He actually goes against Jamari, Perry, Landen (Lucas) and Cliff (Alexander) every day (on the scout team)," Graham said. "He works hard and deserved to be out there."

Despite all of the on-the-court action, there was time near the end of the game for a feel-good story, as senior team manager Chris Huey got to suit up and play in a Kansas basketball game.

KANSAS TIPOFF
JEFFREY KAPLAN
@jkap22
C
After losing to West Virginia last week and defeating TCU on Saturday, the Jayhawks are locked in on keeping their lead in the Big 12 as they head to Manhattan. The Sunflower Showdown has been nothing but bragging rights for Kansas for the most part the past few years. Heading into Manhattan, the Jayhawks sit on top of the Big 12 standings, and they hope to keep it that way.
AT A GLANCE
Graham had a game to remember Saturday against TCU with 20 points on 7-of-7 shooting. His spark off the bench was the difference maker in the win against TCU. Look for Graham to dish out assists or step up to put points on the scoreboard.

QUESTION MARK
PETER WILLIAMS

Will we see much play from big man Landen Lucas?
Lucas is clearly Kansas' backup big man. He usually enters the game due to foul trouble from Cliff Alexander but produces needed rebounds and putback points. His ability to get fouled in the paint and produce points at the line makes him a strong asset that the Jayhawks can depend on more often as the season continues to intensify.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF
Perry Ellis has the strongest showing. A leader of this team, Ellis is going into his sixth Sunflower Showdown match-up with the leadership and experience, knowing just how intense this rivalry can be. If Ellis can continue to lead the team in scoring and get a solid number of rbounds, the Jayhawks should be able to have a solid game.

PROJECTED STARTERS
P. B. SMITH
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
Having a bit of an up-and-down past few games, the Jayhawks look to Selden for crucial jump shots. Averaging 12 points in his Sunflower Showdown career, Selden has proven himself to be a serious scorer in the matchup. Watch for Selden to continue hitting threes to rev up the Jayhawks.
★★★☆☆
PETER BOWMAN
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard
Leading the team with 4.4 assists per game, Mason's distribution will be the key for him to orchestrate the Jayhawk offense. A mixture of steady assists along with double-digit scoring numbers make Mason the biggest threat to K-State. Look for consistency in taking care of the ball and setting up key plays to keep the Jayhawks going.
★★★★★
F.
Kelly Dubre Jr., freshman, guard
Kenny Oubre JR, freshman, guard Obre has the best all-around game of any Jayhawk at this point. His steals, transition shots and rebounds all count for a much needed spark at any point in the game. He brings stifling defense and energy to the floor every game. You can count on Oubre to show us everything he's got every play.
★★★★☆
PETER GUILLOTT
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Coming off a double double in the last Sunflower Showdown, Ellis looks for a strong showing once again. Leading the team in scoring, Ellis is hands down the one post the Jayhaws look to get them going. It will come down to rebounding for Ellis to be the difference maker against K-State.
★★★★★
M. G. KENYA
KANSAS STATE (13-15,6-9)
Cliff Alexander, freshman, forward
It is no secret that foul trouble comes easy to Alexander and haunts him. Staying out of foul trouble early on will be of utter importance for Alexander to contribute as he would like to in this game. As the signature big man, his struggle to stay on the floor has cost the Jayhawks to lose the battle down low recently.

AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
The narrative of the Kansas State 2014-15 basketball season can be cut up into three digestible chunks. First, the non-conference, where the Wildcats struggled to a 7-6 record. Second, the first seven games of conference play, where Kansas State went 5-2, defeating teams it should with an early share of first place. And third, a current stretch of seven losses in eight games. From February until the end of the season, six of the Wildcats' nine remaining games come against top-25 teams.
J
Marcus Foster, sophomore, guard
Foster is one of the most exciting players to watch in the Big 12 conference. He ranks seventh in the Big 12 in points per game (13.4) and eighth in three-point percentage (37.5 percent) in the Big 12. Foster served a three-game suspension following a violation of team rules in mid-February, and the Wildcats lost all three games (including to bottom-feeder Texas Tech). The sophomore will play Monday night, but may not start. In his last matchup with Kansas, Foster scored 19 points on 7-of-18 shooting.
QUESTION MARK
Does Kansas State have any fight left?
Kansas State coach Bruce Weber has run through multiple starting lineups this season. Guard Marcus Foster served a mid-season suspension for a violation of team rules. The Wildcats have lost seven of their past eight. KSU's struggles were illuminated most obviously Saturday, when former Wildcat guard Jacob Pullen voiced his disapproval over Twitter. Saturday, Pullen wrote: "I support kstate for life no matter what but I'm not a Bruce Weber fan... Bruce Weber didn't think I was good enough to play at Illinois and I don't think he is good enough to coach at Kansas State."

BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Kansas doesn't start the game strong. Keeping the crowd out of the game early and reminding Kansas State who owns the rivalry and the league will make things much easier for coach Bill Self and his team. The longer K-State is in the game, though, the more it'll start to believe and the more the fans will get into it. Furthermore, and possibly most importantly, the referees may be invited to make influential calls. Kansas should get up early.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who gave Chris Huey the nickname "Scarecrow?"
A: Assistant coach Kurtis Townsend.
THE MORNING BREW
Chris Huey gets once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
-USA Today
If you're not a diehard Kansas basketball fan, you were probably confused when a new player wearing the number 23 was warming up. Chris Huey, a manager and member of the scout team, got the chance to suit up Saturday. Huey, "Scarecrow" to his teammates and coaches, entered the game in the layhawks' 81-72 win against TCU.
TCU hung around all game, making it difficult for coach Bill Self to put Huey in. However, Kansas was able to build an 11-point lead, which was enough for Self to send Huey into the game with 35 seconds remaining, prompting a standing ovation from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd. He wasn't able to score, but he dove for a loose ball and had a good look at the basket.
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
Huey, a 6-foot-7 senior from Kansas City, Kan., certainly paid his dues before suiting up for the Jayhawks. He
works as a student manager for the basketball program, is a member of the scout team and works as an intern in the basketball office.
According to the Kansas City Star, Self said Huey joined the scout team because the Jayhawks have just four walk-ons, none taller than 6 feet 4 inches. Self said he would prefer his scholarship bigs focus on Kansas' plays, not scout team duties.
---
The plan for Huey to play was in place a few weeks ago, according to Rustin Dodd, who tweeted the following: "The KU coaches kept the secret from Chris Huey by telling him he needed to get NCAA eligible to work as an intern in the basketball
office. The KU coaches also told Huey he needed a physical to be on the scout team." Huey found out he was suiting up when Self presented him with a jersey after the team's practice.
Now, four years removed from
Like most college basketball managers, Huey has a basketball background. He played high school basketball for the varsity team. Huey told the Kansas City Star he suffered a collapsed lung three times, which ended his basketball career after his freshman year of college while playing for Saint Mary in Leavenworth.
THE BREW
basketball, Huey was given an opportunity most of Jayhawk nation would kill for. And it was as good as advertised.
"It was honestly the best thing that's ever happened to me," Huey told the Topeka Capital-Journal.
However, the opportunity Huey earned as a member of the scout team would be his one and only, according to Self.
"I decided since he was a senior it would be a pretty cool deal," Self told the Lawrence Journal-World. "This is his one shot. I let the players know yesterday (Friday) what was going on. They were excited for him. I know it meant a lot to him growing up in K.C. and meant a lot to his family."
Softball drops first loss in Aquafina Invitational

@derek_skillett
The Jayhawks experienced a loss for the first time this season in the Aquafina Invitational last weekend, when they fell to defending national champion No. 1 Florida by a score of 7-1 Saturday. Kansas did rebound that day to defeat Mercer and then Illinois State on Sunday to achieve a very impressive 14-1 record on the season.
JAYHAWKS SWEEP ILLINOIS STATE
While Florida proved to be too much for Kansas on Saturday, Illinois State fell to Kansas once Friday, 4-2, and again Sunday, 10-2. After a rough Saturday when the jayhawks could manufacture very little
offense, the Jayhawks scored 10 runs on Illinois State to get a comfortable blowout win to end the Aquafina Invitational on Sunday.
"I can't say enough about Lily (Behrmann)'s performance... I thought she looked phenomenal today."
MEGAN SMITH Softball coach
and Mercer.
The Jayhawks managed to record an impressive 14 hits in their one game Sunday. That's a sharp contrast to Saturday's games, where the Jayhawks managed to record only 10 total hits between the two games against Florida
The top of Kansas' batting order, which includes junior Briana Evans and sophomore Lily Behrmann, set the table for many of the Jayhawks' runs. Evans and Behrmann combined to record seven of Kansas' 14 hits.
"If the top of the order is on, like they were today, we're going to score a lot of runs," said coach Megan Smith. "I can't say enough about Lily's performance. She did a great job hitting it hard, laying down a bunt, mixing things up. I thought she looked phenomenal today."
Behrmann led the Jayhawks with four hits. Evans led the team in scoring with three runs and junior Chaley Brickey led the team with fourRBIs against Illinois State on Sunday.
Senior pitcher Alicia Pille started for the second consecutive game. She responded by striking out four batters and only allowing three hits while earning her eighth win of the year.
"Our energy was lacking [Saturday] and I told the girls that it's a grind," Smith said in a press release. You get to the last day of a weekend and we've played 15 games
— it's tough, it's hard work. I reminded them to remember why they play the game, remember why they love the game. They love to wear Kansas across their chest and I reminded them to go out and have fun."
JAYHAWKS FALL TO NO. 1
FLORIDA GATORS
After getting off to a program-best 12-0 start, the
Jayhawks could not hold off a powerful Florida Gators team. However, losing to the No. 1 team in the country didn't snowball into a losing streak, as the Jayhawks won out the weekend and now stand at an impressive 14-1 start.
The Jayhawks had a typically strong beginning to the weekend, hanging 10 runs on Liberty and then fending off Illinois State on Friday.
However, this weekend was a good learning experience for the jayhawks. They learned they could rebound from a tough loss and know how much effort it takes to compete with one of the best teams in the country. Sometimes a loss can be the best thing for a team.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
In the first half, Kansas was absolutely on fire, shooting better than 54 percent from the field, 44 percent from three and 80 percent from the free-throw line. TCU shot worse than 45 percent from the field and 35 percent from three. One might expect the Jayhawks to have a fairly sizeable lead going into the break with those numbers, but the team only held a six-point advantage, due largely to two things: fouls and turnovers. TCU posted 14 combined fouls and turnovers in the first half, whereas Kansas had a combined 19.
2ND HALF
With freshman forward Cliff Alexander on the bench for much of the second half, the Jayhawks were again dominated on the boards. Kansas allowed eight second-half offensive rebounds to a TCU squad that averaged 8.3 offensive rebounds per game in its past three contests. For this reason, the score never really got out of hand, but by the end, it was clear Kansas was the superior team. Junior forward Perry Ellis was especially good in the second half, scoring 15 of his game-high 23 points while making all six of his field-goal attempts.
GAME TO REMEMBER
P.
Perry Ellis
Perry Ellis was spectacular against TCU. The junior scored 23 points while shooting 90 percent from the field, with two of those points coming on a ridiculous SportsCenter Top 10 slam dunk. Student manager Chris Huey also had a game to remember, playing in his first game with the Jayhawks. Huey checked into the game with 35 seconds to go, and while he did not score, he did find his way onto the box score, which is an accomplishment in its own right.
GAME TO FORGET
Landen Lucas
Neither Landen Lucas nor Kelly Oubre Jr. were able to do much of anything against the Horned Frogs; neither scored on combined 0-of-6 shooting in 28 minutes. In the Jayhawks' past two contests, the duo averaged 21.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, so it was surprising to see such a dramatic dip in production.
Kelly Oubre Jr.
UNSUNG HERO
Devonte' Graham
Following a brutal four-game stretch that had seen Graham miss all seven of his field-goal attempts, it was time for the freshman to bounce back. Graham finished second on the team in scoring with 20 points, making all seven of his fieldgoal attempts, inlcluding both of his three-point attempts. Graham also added three assists in his 27 minutes of game time.

When the Kansas basketball starters only account for 19 points in the first half, there needs to be someone on the bench that can give the Jayhawks a spark.

The surprise of the game was the bench responding well to the struggling starters, scoring 37 points — 31 more points than the bench scored against West Virginia.
In the past, Kansas coach Bill Self said he would rely on junior Jamari Traylor for an uplift in energy. But in the Kansas win of 81-72 against TCU, freshman Devonte' Graham provided the well-needed spark off the bench.
Before Graham checked in with 15 minutes left in the first half, the Jayhawks were down 8-4 to the Horned Frogs. Graham scored 11 points and gave Kansas an early 35-29 lead going into halftime.
"We had some starters that really didn't produce," Self said. "We needed our bench to be good, but we [couldn't have won] the game without [Graham]."
Graham was the key. He scored a career-high 20 points off the bench, and went perfect from the field (7-0) and from three (2-0). Graham said the 100 percent shooting percentage was luck.

"The last time I checked, you don't come to Kansas unless you can play" Johnson said.
"There are definitely some things that I still need to fix; I haven't been shooting the ball well," Graham said. "I am just glad that I made shots and was able to help the team."
And that's exactly what Graham did. He played with higher intensity and listened to Self to take the ball to the rim. Along with shooting perfect from behind the arc and in the field, Graham didn't miss a contested layup in the paint. TCU coach Trent Johnson said he knew Graham would get to the rim and play well.
The Jayhawks will need Graham to stay consistent through the remainder of the season in order for Kansas to stay under control. Self can't push Mason to play over 33 minutes anymore without getting fatigued.
Since the TCU game in Fort Worth, Texas, six games ago, Graham had a combined total of eight points. He surpassed that total in the first half against TCU in Allen Fieldhouse.
"It was all about the mindset for me," Graham said. "I just tried to get in the paint and make plays for my teammates. I was more aggressive than I have been."

Self said he needed Graham to play more to help sophomore Frank Mason III out, because Mason plays so many minutes. Mason is third in the Big 12, averaging 33 minutes per game. Mason played 32 minutes against TCU. even though Graham had a productive game.

After completing its season sweep of TCU Saturday, Kansas will travel to Manhattan to take on Kansas State for the second time this season.
The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 68-57 in their previous matchup. The Jayhawks will enter the game with a 22-5 record overall and an 11-3 conference record, good for the top spot in the Big 12. The Wildcats are 13-15 on the season with a 6-9 showing in the Big 12.
Kansas State has lost seven of its past eight games, with its only win coming in a Valentine's Day victory against theno.17 Oklahoma. Marcus Foster leads the Wildcats in scoring with 13.4 points per contest.
Foster is having a solid season for K-State after returning for one more season in Manhattan. Foster shoots 40.4 percent from the field and records 2.3 rebounds per game. Nino Williams leads Kansas State with 5.2 rebounds per game.
Foster led the way against Kansas in the matchup in Lawrence, with 19 points on 7-of-18 shooting. Thomas Gipson had 19 points of his own on 7-of-13 shooting and added seven rebounds.

Beavers defeat Jayhawks into two-game skid
JOEY ANGUIANO
Despite starting the game quick to action in the first innning, the Kansas Jayhawks (2-4) were unable to overcome a first-inning deficit that the Oregon State Beavers (5-3) just kept adding to. Oregon State won the game 15-5 Sunday.
@joey_anguiano
Right away in the first, the Jayhawks came out looking to play. Sophomore Joven Afenir singled to get the first
hit of the game. After junior Colby Wright was walked, sophomore Michael Tinsley stepped into the batter's box. Tinsley hit an RBI double, scoring Afenir, followed by senior Dakota Smith hitting in Wright to put Kansas up 2-0. Everything seemed to be going well, until Oregon State came up to bat.
Coach Ritch Price stressed this weekend that one of the key things the Jayhawks need to be successful is an effective starting pitcher,
who is able to stay in the game for six to seven innings. But Sunday, the first inning saw seven Beavers cross home plate inspiring a first-inning pitching change for the Jayhawks.
In the second inning, Afenir hit an RBI single, showing that the Jayhawks were not just going to lay down and accept defeat after a treacherous first inning. On the defensive side of the second, freshman Blake
Weiman and the Jayhawks were able to make it through the second inning without allowing the Beavers to add onto their lead of 3-7 over Kansas.
The third inning saw a missed opportunity after senior Connor McKay hit a two-out triple, but he was left stranded on third.
Oregon State proceeded to take advantage of every opportunity. The Beavers brought home two runs in the third: One came via

sacrifice fly, while the other was scored after a ball was overthrown to third base.
The fourth inning saw yet another pitching change for Kansas, and not much else; but the fifth inning was the microcosm of the game.
Things started looking up again for Kansas after Tinsley crushed a solo shot deep over the centerfield fence, but that was all the Jayhawks could muster. Oregon State showed up again, starting with a single run. Then, the Beavers loaded up the bases, and freshman KJ Harrison stepped up to the plate. Harrison hit his fourth career home run — a grand slam that catapulted the Beavers' lead to 10.
Kansas added two more runs in the eighth and ninth innings, but it was too little too late. The eighth inning also saw a run added to the board by Oregon State.
The Jayhawks came away from the long weekend in Arizona, with two wins, added confidence in their ability to come back late in games and knowledge that if the pitching staff can start strong, the offense can win more games. The Jayhawks will be back in action again Thursday at the Snowbird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla. The first matchup will be at 1 p.m. against Chicago State University (0-4).

In a partnership with Common Harvests Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA), the University will launch a new program in the fall called Crops to Campus, which is a subscription-based service that will deliver organic produce to University students and staff.
Each week from September to October 2015, subscribers will receive portions of four to five produce items for $13 per week, or seven to eight items for $18 per week. Each delivery will contain different types of produce such as a bag of apples and other fruits or vegetables.
The Center for Sustainability is just one of the University organizations involved in the decision to partner with Common Harvests for Crops to Campus. The KU Faculty/Staff Wellness Committee, Watkins Health Services, KU Athletics, KU Dining Services, KU Endowment and Recreation Services will also sponsor the new program.
program "I think [the University] will benefit from the campus having a relationship with local farms and promoting the purchase of local food, which encourages better eating habits," said Kim Criner, the Center for
Sustainability's education and outreach coordinator.

"We want to make [the program] as convenient as possible for KU staff and students." Humphrey said. "I think the people who would enjoy a CSA are people who would enjoy the convenience of having produce delivered to them, but who also like to get to know their farmers."
The growing interest in organic food and educated diet choices have made Humphrey hopeful that people will utilize Crops to Campus for obtaining local produce. The program will be able to accommodate 250 subscribers in its first year.
Student Senate allocates $274k to Educational Opportunity Fund
"I think that it's becoming an increasing trend for corporations, universities and schools to offer CSAs as part of wellness programs or as part of encouraging healthy behaviors." Humphrey said. "So one of the things I'm excited about as a KU employee and as a farmer is to bring fresh produce to people on campus and hopefully, in the process, encourage them to learn more about local food, eating good food and cooking with that food."

After weeks of review, Student Senate has allocated $274,775 to the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) to be used by departments and University groups for scholarships and grants.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
EOF money goes to individual students through scholarships and grants, whereas line and block allocations go to student organizations for specific organization-related expenses, said treasurer Madeline Sniezek.
dent Senate will look at the requested amount and decide whether to adjust or approve it, said Student Body President Morgan Said.
Student body president Morgan Said speaks at a Student Senate meeting on Sept. 17, 2014. Student Senate recently allocated $274,775 to the Educational Opportunity Fund.
The $274,775 comes from the EOF fee each student pays every semester as a part of the campus-required fees. This academic year, each student paid $ 7.75 toward the fund.
Many departments require students to apply for a scholarship from their department, and a lot of those applicants are graduate students, Sniezek said.
Departments will request funding for something such as a scholarship, and then Students are in kind of a financial hardship, and this is the student population we want to specifically target to help them succeed and pay their way through school," so it's really students helping students."
"We help with application fees for grad schools because [most students who apply are] low-income or first-generation students, but it's all going back to students to further their education." Sniezek said.
For Said, having a hand in allocating these funds is meaningful because she gets to see how much departments care about the success of their students.
"On the Senate end, it's really cool to see departments saying. We realize our students are in kind of a financial hardship, and this is the student population we want to specifically target to help them succeed and pay their way through school," so it's really students helping students."
she said. "It's also really cool to see these professors or chairs, whoever they may be, advocating for the student departments and advocating for their funds."

Drug and Vaccine Discovery Institute not being funded
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The Kansas House of Representatives budget subcommittee denied the Board of Regents' request for $5 million to establish a Drug and Vaccine Discovery Institute at the University, which would research new drugs and vaccines to treat and cure diseases.
This means the University won't receive state money to hire researchers and fund programs for the Institute, attract pharmaceutical companies to the area and further drug-related and vaccine-related research.
Virgil Peck (R-Tyro)
Virgil Peck (R-Tyro), a subcommittee member, called the Regents' requests "absurd" and "ridiculous" in light of Kansas' dire financial situation, Henry said. Peck was unavailable for comment before The Kansan's
"It was an opportunity for us to leverage the remarkable work we do in terms of discovery and pair that with vaccine creation," Caboni said. "Those two things together have incredible interest to companies, especially pharmaceutical companies who might want to partner with the University and invest. The great hope is to relocate businesses and build those businesses close to the University."
The subcommittee also denied a 3 percent pay increase for KU Medical Center faculty and staff.
SANTA RUBY
In a regular fiscal year, the Board of Regents usually puts together a list of one or two issues critical to Regents universities and approaches the House budget subcommittee with those requests. However, this year, Gov. Sam Brownback denied all of these requests for additional funding, said Jerry Henry (D-Atchison), the ranking minority member on the House Appropriations Committee, which the budget subcommittee falls under.
"It's the Board of Regents' responsibility to talk to us and get down to the details on all budgets about what is needed for the universities, both for the students that we serve and also to remain competitive," Henry said.
Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs at the University, said the work done by the Institute would not only find cures for diseases, but would help stimulate the economy.

Henry said many members of the House and Senate feel universities should be finding ways to slash their budgets through things like refusing to build new buildings and raising tuition costs, but he disagrees.
"Some of us on the committee thought that was a comment that was out of line" Henry said. "This is more than just teaching. This is life-saving research for families and individuals. This is very important for our future."

Idaho Rep. Vito Barbieri talks with reporters at the Capitol building in Boise, Idaho on Jan. 5, 2012. Barbieri asked if a woman can swallow a camera for doctors to conduct a remote gynecological exam.
Lawmaker gets lesson on female anatomy
KIMBERLEE KRUESI
Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho lawmaker received a brief lesson on female anatomy after asking if a woman can swallow a small camera for doctors to conduct a remote gynecological exam.
The question Monday from Republican state Rep. Vito Barbieri came as the House State Affairs Committee heard nearly three hours of testimony on a bill that would ban doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine.
Barbieri later said that the question was rhetorical and intended to make a point.
Dr. Julie Madsen, a physician who said she has provided various telemedicine services in Idaho, was testifying in opposition to the bill. She said some colonoscopy patients may swallow a small device to give doctors a closer look at parts of their colon.
Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?" Barbieri asked.
Madsen replied that would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina.
"Fascinating. That makes sense," Barbieri said, amid the crowd's laughter.
The committee approved the bill 13-4 on a party-line vote, where it now goes to the House floor for a full vote. Barbieri, who sits on the board of a crisis pregnancy center in northern Idaho, voted in favor of the legislation.
Republican-controlled Statehouse. Already this year, it has killed a proposal that would provide legal protections to gay and lesbian Idahoans and halted legislation proposed by a 14-year-old girl to designate the Idaho Giant Salamander as the official state amphibian. It has endorsed, however, a bill that would expand parental rights in Idaho law.
The panel is considered one of the most conservative committees in Idaho's
Under HB154, abortion-inducing medication could not be administered through telemedicine — which does not currently happen in Idaho — and requires doctors to make "all reasonable efforts" to schedule a follow-up visit. The bill is backed by the anti-abortion group Idaho Choose Life.
"Children have no way to really challenge the forces that harm them and unborn children are especially susceptible to harm."
Anti-abortion advocates argue that the bill will protect women who may have an adverse reaction to abortion medication. Those opposed counter that the bill is an attempt to restrict abortions, pointing to women living in rural areas where access to clinics is already limited.

Republican representative
the point that equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and oranges," he said. "So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to make her say that they weren't the same thing, and she did so. It was the response I wanted."
Monday afternoon Barbieri told The Spokesman-Review that he adamantly supports the bill, and wasn't fazed by the social media attention his question garnered.
The measure is one of several abortion-related bills Idaho lawmakers are considering this legislative session.
"I was being rhetorical, because I was trying to make
This includes a proposed bill seeking to define the scope of telemedicine in Idaho, which somewhat overlaps with HB154, because it specifically bans doctors from prescribing abortion drugs via videoconferencing. Over in the Idaho Senate, lawmakers are considering a bill that would require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital.
"Children have no way to really challenge the forces that harm them and unborn children are especially susceptible to harm," said Republican Rep. Linden Bateman. "In my view, this may reduce the number of abortions."
This isn't the first time Idaho lawmakers have received attention while debating abortion legislation.
In 2013, Republican Rep. Ron Mendive drew audible gasps in a committee when he asked if the American Civil Liberties Union-Idaho's pro-abortion stance also meant they supported prostitution. A year prior, Republican Sen. Chuck Winder drew national criticism after he suggested on the Senate floor that a doctor should ask a woman who says she was raped could have been caused by "normal relations in a marriage."
Slain Mexican man's family views body, seeks justice
NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
TAMI ABDOLLAH
Associated Press
PASCO, Wash. — The mother of an unarmed Mexican man fatally shot by police officers in Washington state viewed her son's body for the first time Monday and said she hopes for justice in the case that has sparked protests and calls for a federal investigation.
The Feb. 10 killing of Antonio Zambrano-Montes in Pasco was captured on video by a witness. Zambrano-Montes' mother, Agapita Montes-Rivera, spoke to reporters before entering a local funeral home with other family members and said through an interpreter that the situation is difficult.
"I want people to understand my pain," the 60-year-old said. "It's really hard. ... When I saw the video, I felt really bad. That's why I asked for justice."
Her attorney said she fainted when she first saw her son's body.
Authorities say Zambra-
no-Montes, a 35-year-old
Mexican immigrant and former orchard worker, was throwing rocks at officers and a stun gun failed to subdue him. The Franklin County coroner has ordered an inquest into the death, which is being reviewed by a regional task force and monitored by federal authorities.
The high-profile attorney who represented the family of Michael Brown, a black man killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, said he'll represent Zambra-ano-Monte's family. Benjamin Crump was in Pasco meeting with the family Monday.
"At the heart of the matter is what's going on with what we see on that video — is it appropriate or not?" Crump, who is based in Florida, told The Associated Press.
"The No. 1 thing they said is, 'We don't want them to say that the police acted appropriately,'" said Crump, who represented the family of Trayvon Martin, the black teenager killed by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013.
In a video recording by Dario Infante Zuniga, 21, of Pasco, five "pops" are audible, and Zambrano-Montes can be seen running away, pursued by three officers. As the officers draw close, he stops, turns around and faces them. Multiple "pops" are heard, and the man falls to the ground.
Crump said Zambra-
no-Montes spoke no English
and was an immigrant living
in the country illegally.
Felix Vargas, head of the Pasco Hispanic rights group Consejo Latino, said a Seattle-based Justice Department official met with his group Sunday. The official said meetings are planned this week with local authorities, Vargas said.
Pasco is a fast-growing agricultural city of 68,000, where more than half the residents are Hispanic but few are members of the police force or the power structure.
The killing was the fourth by Pasco police in less than a year. Officers were exonerated after similar investigations in the first three cases. Critics in the latest case say the officers should have used less than lethal force to subdue Zambrano-Montes.
"Zambrano-Montes had his hands up. Why did you have to shoot him?" Crump asked.
Police said officers felt threatened. Zambrano-Montes was arrested last year for assault after throwing objects at Pasco officers and trying to grab an officer's pistol, court records show.
Authorities have said Zambrano-Montes was not armed with a gun or knife when he was killed. Whether he had a rock in his hand when he was shot is still under investigation.
Two of the officers involved were white, and the other Hispanic. All three opened fire, though the number of shots has not been disclosed. Last week, investigators asked for patience as the investigation continues.
Crump said the Pasco case is similar to other high-profile killings involving police officers.
"All the young people are protesting that Antonio had his hands up based on what they saw in the video, and he had no weapons," Crump said. "And just like in New York, it shows the graphic last moments of Eric Garner's life, here you have a video that shows the graphic last moments of Antonio's life."
Meanwhile, another attorney who says he's representing Zambrano-Montes' family says he wants to temporarily withdraw a $25 million claim filed by Zambrano-Montes' widow and two daughters against the city after the shooting. Attorney Charles Herrmann of Tacoma said Monday the claim was premature.

Alaska becomes third state with legal marijuana
MOLLY DISCHNER Associated Press

In this Feb. 20, 2015 photo, Alaska Cannabis Club CEO Charlie Greene smokes a joint at the medical marijuana dispensary in Anchorage, Alaska. Today, Alaska became the third state in the nation to legalize marijuana. MARK THIESSEN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUNEAU, Alaska Smoking, growing and possessing marijuana became legal in America's wildest state today, thanks to a voter initiative aimed at clearing away 40 years of conflicting laws and court rulings.
MARK THIESSEN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Making Alaska the third state to legalize recreational marijuana was the goal of a coalition including libertarians, rugged individualists and small-government Republicans who prize the privacy rights enshrined in the state's constitution.
But when they voted 52-48 percent last November to legalize marijuana use by adults in private places, they left many of the details to lawmakers and regulators to sort out.
Meanwhile, Alaska Native leaders worry that legalization will bring new temptations to communities already confronting high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and suicide.
"When they start depending on smoking marijuana, I don't know how far they'd go to get the funds they need to support it, to support themselves," said Edward Nick, council member in Manokotak, a remote village of 400 that is predominantly Yupik Eskimo.
Both alcohol and drug use are prohibited in Nick's village 350 miles southwest of Anchorage, even inside the privacy of villagers' homes.
But Nick fears that the initiative, in combination with a 1975 state Supreme Court decision that legalized marijuana use inside homes
could open doors to drug
abuse.
Initiative backers promised Native leaders that communities could still have local control under certain conditions. Alaska law gives every community the option to regulate alcohol locally. From northern Barrow to Klawock, 1,291 miles away in southeast Alaska, 108 communities impose local limits on alcohol, and 33 of them ban it altogether.
But the initiative did not provide clear opt-out language for tribal councils and other smaller communities, forcing each one to figure out how to proceed Tuesday.
November's initiative also bans smoking in public, but didn't define what that means, and lawmakers left the question to the alcohol regulatory board, which planned to meet early Tuesday to discuss an emergency response.
In Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, officials tried and failed in December to ban a new commercial marijuana industry. But Police Chief Mark Mew said his officers will be strictly enforcing the public smoking ban. He even warned people against smoking on their porches if they live next to a park.
Other officials are still discussing a proposed cultivation ban for the wild Kenai Peninsula. But far to the north, in North Pole, smoking outdoors on private property will be OK as long as it doesn't create a nuisance, officials there said.
While the 1975 court decision protected personal marijuana possession and a 1998 initiative legalized medicinal marijuana, state lawmakers twice criminalized any possession over the years

As of today, adult Alaskans can not only keep and use pot, they can transport, grow it and give it away. A second phase, creating a regulated and taxed marijuana market, won't start until 2016 at the earliest.
shift," organizers wrote in the Alaska Dispatch News, the state's largest newspaper.
And while possession is no longer a crime under state law, enjoying pot in public can bring a $100 fine.
The initiative's backers warned pot enthusiasts to keep their cool.
That's fine with Dean Smith,

opening on Tuesday in downtown Anchorage. She's already pushing the limits, promising to give away weed to paying "medical marijuana" patients and other "club members."

To the guy at the Rec who gave me the bar when I'd been waiting; Thank you. Kind guys like you make it easier to lift as a girl. Also, damn, 360 lbs? I'd love some tips.
No, I didn't fart, my stomach's just grumbling...
I had a dream that Perry Ellis asked me out on a date and then I woke up and cried because it wasn't real.

Country music needs more appreciation
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
Carrie Underwood performs on stage at the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles
I was born and raised in Texas, which means I grew up around certain Southern traditions and rituals. I was expected to say "yes sir" and "yes ma'am," as well as grace before meals. When there is more than one person you are addressing, you refer to them as "yall", and I listen to country music whenever I can. After being in Lawrence for almost two years I have learned that whenever you are riding shotgun and have control of the music, playing country music is a no-go.
JOHN SHEARER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
From what I have gathered from the groans of passengers in the car and my loss of music-picking privileges, is that most of my friends are not fans of country music. When I ask why, I receive responses like "it's just noise" and "the vocals aren't impressive". I however, call false judgment. Country music is not just noise and the singers are impressive, with ranges and styles that top most rappers of our time.
Consider your favorite pop or rap song. What is it about? The song "Hesher" by Wallpaper, has lyrics like, 'I might sleep barefoot on the beach. I might (ha-ha) really sleep barefoot on the beach.' While the beat is well known by college students who frequent establishments
that have alcohol and dance floors, the content and lyrics of similar songs is idiotic. While every genre — including country — has songs about nothing, the country genre also does a great job telling stories that reach into the emotions of love, heartbreak, sorrow or being flat out happy with life. Country songs hold more power and substance than
the rap game and-pop songs because they have the ability to evoke real human emotions out of its listeners.
Aside from the content, country music is much more real in the sense that it lacks fancy bells and whistles. Their music also tends to be less auto-tuned in comparison to many different genre artists. When Carrie Underwood
sings live, it sounds almost identical to the Carrie Underwood that you have on your iPod. But when Katy Perry gets up to sing "Roar" on a monstrous puppet tiger, it sounds like the vocals are coming from the tiger itself.
Country music has been known to come off to many as cutesy, not entertaining, and just noise that seems too
unbearable to hear. But if one truly takes the time to listen to the lyrics and the story that the country artist is trying to convey to the audience, the simplicity and heart of this genre would be much more appreciated.

Mental health resources should be publicized

@mphuwe
He was 22 years old. He was about to graduate from the University of
Missouri and had a job lined up upon graduation. He was seemingly happy and healthy.
Now his Facebook wall is filled with "I miss you,""rest well", and pictures from his childhood. Friends and family reminisce over fond memories of someone who's no longer with us — of another person whose life was cut short by suicide.
He was my cousin's cousin. That might appear to be a distant relationship, but it isn't since he was also my cousin's best friend. He was no stranger to me, and the three of us even climbed a 14,000-kilometer mountain together in Colorado.
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study. Suicide is preventable, and it's time to start treating it seriously and working toward helping those in need.
As spring approaches, it's important that the University publicizes its services for those experiencing stress and anxiety, whether it's about graduation and what comes next, or something else.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death for Americans, according to a 2013 Centers
It's equally important for peers to be looking out for one another. College is a stressful atmosphere. We have to adjust to living away from home and being surrounded
by unfamiliar people, while juggling tests, our social life and sleep schedules. I could write a whole book with reasons why college is overwhelming, but what's even more daunting is what comes after graduation. Once we've gotten used to the stress and found our community, we find ourselves thrown into an even bigger unknown — the real world.
The University needs to remind its students about services available, such as Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), located on the second floor of Watkins
Memorial Health Center. CAPS sessions are around $15. There is also a psychological clinic within the Department of Psychology that charges students a flat $12 fee.
While these services may be publicized on posters, that's not enough to grab students' attention when there are several other organizations advertising events in the same vicinity.
According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, suicide peaks during the spring and fall and is lowest during December. According to Suicide Awareness and

Oh, how embarrassing!
Product of the Times
Our society is not doing enough to prevent suicides. Mental illnesses are just as serious as physical illnesses, and it's time to treat them as such, especially when they have the potential to cause much more harm. We spend too much time invalidating those who are suffering from their emotions. It's important to listen and pay attention to those who are struggling.

Between New York City and Lawrence, theater professor finds joy in teaching
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Flying back and forth from New York City to Kansas most weeks is typical for Peter Zazzali, an assistant professor in the Department of Theatre. He flies from New York to teach two classes at the University, and 12 hours later he's heading back.
He's in the middle of a delicate balancing act between directing, teaching and acting at the University level, and directing and acting in New York.
10Kc "It's exciting, and it requires a great deal of ability to manage time and ability," Zazzall said. "When I'm in class, that needs to take my undivided attention. When I'm directing, my attention goes there."
this is Zazzali's second year at the University and he has already directed three plays with a fourth in the works for the fall semester. Zazzali said the Department of Theatre supports all of its professor-
— whether in the classroom or working on outside projects — which is part of the reason why he wanted to be a Jayhawk.
"I was looking for a position where I could be both a scholar and an artist since I have a Ph.D. in theater and I'm a practicing professor who works around the world," he said. "I was looking for a professional home. KU is unique because it allows me and my valued colleagues to do just that."
Last week, Zazzali opened two shows in New York that he directed as part of the New Works Initiative, a festival underwritten by professional
playwrights at Montclair State University. Working with contemporary plays, like the ones at the festival, is one of his passions.
"I do a lot of classical work as well, but we can't just keep on doing Shakespeare. We need to foster new talent that speaks to new work and new work that speaks to our current situation and moment — socially, culturally, globally, politically," he said. "Only a contemporary playwright can address those issues."
Brianna Woods, a sophomore from Overland Park, has taken two classes with Zazzali and said he's the type of professor who pushes his students more than the average professor, something Woods knows firsthand. Woods performed a comedic farce, but instead of rolling with laughter, Zazzali was disappointed. Woods said it taught her a crucial lesson in comedic acting.
"I always thought comedy came very easily to me," Woods said. "We did the scene and people laughed, but Peter was very displeased. I didn't understand why until he walked us through it and told us that we shouldn't play for comedy or for people laughing at us, we should find our characters through truth and specificity, driven actions and objectives, meaning you have to do all the work, not just make fun of something. For a while I was like 'I'm not a good comedic actress', then I realized he's trying to push people to do the work justice and actually put themselves in the role."
She said the way he shows his students what to do instead of
just telling them makes him one of a kind.
"He's the type of guy that expects a lot from you, so you start to expect a lot from yourself in turn and you don't want to disappoint him," she said. "That's different than any teacher I've ever had. No other teacher has made me expect as much from myself."
"In one of our classes, he gave the balcony monologue from 'Romeo and Juliet' and it was a different approach than I've ever seen, and you can tell he's using all these techniques, not just relying on instinct." Woods said. "He's using all these techniques he's learned and putting them into what he does and therefore teaching us. He's incredible to watch."
Woods said Zazzali's high expectations are only part of what makes him a great teacher.
Even when he's not in the classroom or even in the state, Woods said Zazzali manages to put his students first and address their needs.
I think he is very unique in the way that he can do multiple things at the same time and still be able to guide other people," she said. "I think there's few people that are able to guide people in the way that he does. He still makes time for students to come visit him and ask him for life advice. He's always got his door open."
Woods said what Zazzali brings to the classroom is like no professor she's ever seen, and everything he does at the University is aimed at helping his students succeed.
"He's prepared to help his students get to where they
want to get," she said. "A lot of teachers are teaching, Peter is crafting people. You can ask anyone about Peter, and they'll be like, 'This guy is one in a million.' He's just brought so much passion to it, and a lot of students feed off that passion, wanting to do more for themselves."
Zazzali will be in Australia working on a play in June, and although he's worked around the world, Zazzali said he looks forward to the student-teacher
exchange he gets to have when he's at the University.
"If you're having a responsible experience as a teacher, you're learning every bit as much as your students are learning, or almost as much," he said. "The exchange between teacher and students is a beautiful exchange where both become enriched. I learn every time I walk into a classroom with my students."

Jenner, Tyga's relationship fuels Twitter feud

Kelly Cordingley
@kellycordingley
Just when the Kardashian saga seemed to be somewhat calming down, minus Bruce Jenner's supposed sex change, a Twitter feud ensued, dragging Tyga, Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian,
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Amber Rose into the spotlight.
As with most celebrity drama, there's a complicated history surrounding the feud.
Rose used to date West, who is currently married to Kim Kardashian, sister to Khloe and step-sister to Jenner. Tyga and 17-year-old Jenner are rumored to be dating, and when Rose was asked about the relationship between the two, she told Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club that she thought Jenner
was just a child who should go to bed at 7 p.m. and Tyga should be ashamed of himself.
From there, insults started flying. Khloe tweeted a string of tweets in defense of her little sister, calling out Rose for admitting she was a stripper when she was 15 years old and telling her not to throw stones or talk about the family anymore.
Rose then called out Kim for her sex tape with Ray J. It just continues to go on, and on, similar to the seasons of "Keeping Up With the
Rose then tweeted innuendos about Kim's sex tape, and that if West thought she was dirty for her previous work as a stripper, he should take a look at what his wife did. According to Buzzfeed.
Coming to his wife's defense, West slammed Rose, claiming he would never have been with her had Kim dated him from the get-go. He went as far to say he had to take "30 showers" after he and Rose broke up, according to the Daily Beast.
According to Buzzfeed, Tyga has since denied his

relationship with Jenner during an interview with The Breakfast Club. Then, according to Entertainment Tonight online, he claimed he loved Kylie. It's technically speculation whether they're officially dating or not, but in an interview with TMZ, West said his sister-in-law, Jenner, and Tyga were in love.
Either way, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" will have some interesting episodes to come, as if they weren't dramatic enough.

Burberry goes bohemian in 2015 London Fashion Week
SYLVIA HUI Associated Press
LONDON — Fashion is notoriously fickle but there are two things sure to be everywhere this fall: Sueed and fringing — lots of it.
SOMEONE YOU LIKE
Reinforcing fashion's fling with all things retro, luxury British brand Burberry Prorsum showed off a collection Monday that was rich in patchworks of floral embroidery, bohemian ponchos and quilt-like textures.
The first look, a cozy turquoise and grass-green printed poncho laden with long suede fringes, set the tone. Then came folksy tiered, paisley dresses and hippie versions of the brand's bestselling trench coats, all tan suede and adorned with tassels.
A tan suede cape-dress, covered all over with tiers of fringe — and worn with tasseled shoe-boots, no less — won approving nods from the stars and models in the front row.
Bailey said he was "intensely proud" that Eddie Redmayne — who had modeled for Burberry — won best actor Sunday at the Oscars.
"You know, it's always delightful when something really resonates with people," Bailey said of his fashion influence. "But you never really know when you do a show how people might express it or translate it."
"Not only is he one of the most charming people that you'll ever meet, but he's one of the most talented actors that you'll ever meet as well. So I'm completely delighted for him," he said.
Burberry is the biggest and most successful British brand at London Fashion Week, and it's a fairly good bet that whatever Bailey sends down the catwalk will be copied immediately. The brand's blanket-like, oversized check scarves last season were a runaway success that spawned numerous knock-off versions.
With the Oscars clashing this year with London Fashion Week, the past few days have seen a dearth of big names on the catwalk front rows. Not so at Burberry. Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal squeezed in with Grammy-winning musician Sam Smith, and all the top British models were here: Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn.
Burberry's show led a the busy roster Monday, followed by displays from Hunter Original and Christopher Kane.
Naomi Campbell, sporting a fluffy white fur coat, arrived late and had to push through the crowds to get to her seat mid-show.
Backstage, design chief Christopher Bailey said he wanted to explore "all the different crafts that we have in the British Isles."

Which Kansas basketball player will get on the All-Big 12 First Team?
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
PERRY ELLIS
Kansas fans were expecting junior forward Perry Ellis to make an immediate impact two-and-a-half years ago when he was just a freshman. Ellis was a minor contributor on that team, which included current NBA players Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey. Now, Ellis has been in a starting role over the past season and a half, and his time to shine is now.
Even playing beside NBA players Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embid last year, Ellis had an all right season. But now, since both players are gone, Ellis has to take control.
The junior from Wichita is currently having his best season as a Kansas basketball player. Ellis accomplishments this season have included: Orlando Tournament Most Valuable Player, Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week (twice), CBSports.com National Player of the Week, and he was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team.

Even though Mason has led the charge scoring in double figures in 23 of the last 24 games, Ellis still puts up numbers that fans like to see.

Linebacker Ben Heeney impresses at NFL Combine
This weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine, three former Jayhawks looked to improve their draft statuses in front of all 32 NFL teams. One produced some of the best results at his position, another was mostly sidelined due to injury, and one more came step closer to getting his chance with an NFL team.
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
LINEBACKER BEN HEENEY
When former Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney traveled to the NFL Scouting Combine last weekend, whether he would be drafted in two months was still up in the air. While he proved how valuable his motor is on the field as a Jayhawk, how his athleticism fits into the NFL landscape was a huge question mark.
When he went through drills on Saturday, Heeney showed the NFL why he deserves to hear his name called during the NFL Draft.
Heeney showed out in the 20-yard and 60-year shuttles, where he ran in 4.00 and 11.06 seconds, respectively — each of which were highs among linebackers. His 60-yard shuttle time was the fastest of any linebacker at the combine this year, and also in at least the last nine years. His three-cone drill time of 6.68 seconds was also a linebacker high.
He eclipsed 4.6 seconds by one millisecond in the 40-yard dash, as he officially logged a 4.59, which came in at second among inside linebackers. With those numbers in the agility drills, Heeney drew comparisons to Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly — the 2012 defensive player of the year — and Steelers starting linebacker Ryan Shazier.
While all of those numbers were top-notch and turned some heads, Heeney still has some questions to answer. First and foremost: his height. Heeney stands at only 6-foot. To put that in perspective, no Chiefs linebacker comes in under 6-foot-1. Only four linebackers at or under 6-foot were drafted last season.
While he has a great motor,
some scouts still doubt him.
One NFC scout, "according to NFL.com, says "he guesses way too much," and he's "missing too many tackles to play in our league." That can be seen in stats, as he missed the most tackles in college football in 2014.
Of course, every prospect has his flaws, and Heeney is no exception. But when a team decides to pick him, it will have to know what it's getting: an agile but undersized linebacker who relies heavily on instincts, but will ultimately be one of the hardest-working players on the football field.
With impressive agility scores, expect Heeney to go somewhere in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft, likely in the fourth or fifth.

He did log 14 bench press reps, which came in 16th out of 22, but that doesn't do him justice. No one will get to see Shepherd's full complement of skills until Kansas' official pro day. Luckily for Shepherd, numbers at pro days tend to be a bit more generous than those at the combine.
PUNTER TREVOR PARDULA
The Big 12 first-team punter came in at 6-foot-4, 227-pounds in the first group of weigh-ins; only one punter was taller. Of course, most is quiet on the punter's front, as they can be a bit unpredictable. In all likelihood, Pardula won't be drafted, but will be given a post-draft workout with a team or two, where he'll have a chance to make a roster.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many years was Garnett selected to the NBA All-Star team?
THE MORNING BREW

Andrew Wiggins could benefit greatly from Garnett's arrival in Minnesota
NBA.com
When Andrew Wiggins was drafted No.1 overall in last year's NBA Draft,
many were excited by the idea of watching the immensely talented rookie hone his craft alongside the best player in the NBA,LeBron James.
A couple of months later, Wiggins was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Kevin Love, someone many would consider the second-greatest player in Wolves history. While Love left for greener pastures and the promise of immediate title contention with James and Kyrie Irving, Wiggins appeared cursed to toil away in the frozen landscape of Minneapolis.
Now, 54 games later, things look much more optimistic. The Wolves
The Timberwolves had a young roster without a veteran who could take the former Jayhawk under his wing and help him learn the ropes of the NBA and reach his superstar potential.
Jacob Clemen
@jclemn9
have only won 12 games but Wiggins has emerged as a reliable scorer and thrived in a larger role than he would have seen in Cleveland.
Wiggins, who won three-straight Western Conference Rookie of the Month awards and was named MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge appears to be a lock for rookie of the year honors. His 15.3 points per game is good for second on the team, and his 826 points is 350 points more than any other rookie has scored this season.
Still, Wiggins didn't have anyone to show him how to win and take his game to a transcendent level.
However, amidst the flurry of trade deadline moves last Thursday, the Timberwolves announced they were trading for Kevin Garnett.
Garnett played for Minnesota for over a decade from 1995-2007 and is
arguably the greatest player to ever call Target Center home. Now, at 38, Garnett is not nearly the player James is, but he can still provide the type of mentorship that could significantly aid Wiggins' quest to become a perennial all-star.
it's often difficult to tell exactly what impact a player like Garnett has on young players and Wiggins would have to be willing to absorb whatever lessons the veteran forward can provide.
But, the Wolves made it clear exactly what they expect from Garnett.
what they expect from us.
"When people think of the Timberwolves, they think of KG. He had some great years for us and our organization and fans really respect what he's done here in Minnesota and throughout his NBA career. KG will bring his usual strong work ethic and leadership and be a positive influence for our young team." coach Flip Saunders said in the official team release.
The players share Saunder's expectation on Garnett's leadership.
Wiggins also had good things to say about Garnett's return to Minnesota.
"Whatever he say, we're going to listen to it," said Wolves point guard Ricky Rubio to the Star Tribune. "He's going to have a voice in the locker room, and we'll learn a lot from him."
"It will be great. He's one of the all-time greats, the best player to ever come to this franchise. He'll teach me a lot. Practice will be intense. So I'm looking forward to it," Wiggins told the Star Tribune.
The north remembers Garnett's contribution and his return has energized the team and fan base that is waiting through a losing season as its young talent develops. If Wiggins can adopt some of the qualities that elevated Garnett to "The Big Ticket" -qualities like toughness, energy and competitiveness - he may just turn out to be the player that was promised.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
The Jayhawks had control of the game early on, but a couple of K-State spurts kept the Wildcats alive. Perry Ellis was an absolute force in the first half, scoring 15 points. However, the Jayhawks would trail by one headed into the break thanks to a poorly timed foul by Landen Lucas.
2ND HALF
Perry Ellis and Nigel Johnson went blow-for-blow in the second half, but down the stretch it was the Jayhawks that faltered, as the Wildcats held on to win by seven. Nino Williams and Nigel Johnson combined for 21 of Kansas State's 39 second-half points, whereas Kelly Oubre Jr. led the way for the Jayhawks with 11 points.

Perry Ellis
While he disappeared down the stretch, Perry Ellis was absolutely the best player on the court for the first 30 minutes of the game, where he scored all of his 24 points. The junior finished with nine rebounds, although the Jayhawks would fall in the end. Even Bruce Weber had kind words for Ellis, saying that he "might be the MVP" of the Big 12.

Mason had one of his worst games of the year, scoring just four points while adding five rebounds, three assists and three steals.

COMMENTARY
Heeney's Combine results fly under the radar
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
H ere on campus, Ben Heeney is an easily recognizable figure
to students. His beard has a bit to do with that.
Heeney has also anchored the Kansas football defense for the last four years, honing his spot at middle linebacker and defensive leader.
But when Heeney stepped in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine this weekend, he was just another face lost in the crowd.
TENNIS
Kansas falls to Colorado and Denver over weekend | PAGE 8
People who hadn't heard of Heeney before Sunday certainly have by now. The Hutchison native forced scouts to take a closer look, if they weren't looking already.
Heeney, a former Kansas linebacker, finished first in three different events for linebackers: the three-cone drill with a time of 6.68 seconds, a four-second 20-yard shuttle, and a 11.06-second 60-yard shuttle.
His 60-yard shuttle was actually the fastest time for a linebacker since 2006.
Adding on to his day in Indianapolis, Heeney also recorded a 120-inch broad jump to finish 14th among linebackers. He placed 19th in the vertical jump with a leap of 33.5 inches. Heeney also pushed 19 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press to finish 24th.
In the main event, the 40- yard dash, Heeney clocked in at 4.59 seconds to rank him fourth among linebackers.
Yet, Heeney wasn't mentioned on ESPN — or really any national outlets for that matter.
That being said, had Heeney been from a more prestigious program — say, Texas or Alabama — he would have been Sunday's talk of the day. Heck, had he gone to Baylor, he may have had his name featured on ESPN's front page.
Sure, the Combine is more for players to impress NFL scouts to increase their draft stock rather than gain some facetime from the media.
At the end of the day, the NFL Combine was a success for the bearded Jayhawk, even if it wasn't all over national media. Maybe now he'll be more recognizable somewhere other than Jayhawk Boulevard.
Heeney will certainly not be a top pick. The biggest question surrounding Heeney coming into the Conbine was if he would be drafted at all. After turning many scouts' heads in Indianapolis, Heeney made a case to be drafted come April, even if he's just a late round flier.
Instead, the main topic from the Combine is whether Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston should be the No.1 overall draft pick, something that will be debated in the months leading up to the NFL Draft, which starts on April 30.

Kansas unable to help Ellis in 70-63 loss to Kansas State
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
With 25 seconds remaining in the game, Kansas State fans began gathering their coats, waiting for the final buzzer to sound. They weren't waiting to leave; they were waiting to storm the court.
For the fourth time this year, the No. 8 ranked Kansas Jayhawks left a visitor's arena while their opponent remained on the court, its students celebrating. Following a 70-63 victory over Kansas, the Wildcats' starters stood on the scorer's table leading the crowd in their alma mater.
"It hurts," junior forward Perry Ellis said, "Being a player and seeing a court storming, it definitely hurts. No one wants that."
As Kansas was chipping away at Kansas State's lead, lowering the difference to three, Nino Williams hit an open-elbow jumper to seal the victory for Kansas State. Toward the end of regulation, Kansas' offense went silent. After blowing multiple sixpoint leads and having the lead for a total of 27:03, the Jayhawks were unable to find scoring to spark a comeback of their own.
"We were up six multiple times, but didn't make the play down the stretch," coach Bill Self said. "They made the plays. Nino [Williams] hit everything late."
Kansas' inability to make plays was due in part to the fact that Perry Ellis did not have a field goal attempt in the final seven minutes of the game. Ellis' final shot was a missed jumper right outside the paint with 7:06 to play while his final made field goal went in with 10:48 to play.
"They played [Ellis] really well down the stretch," Self said. "He didn't score in the final 10 minutes."
For the first time this see
son, Ellis strung together consecutive 20-point outings, tallying 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Ellis recorded all of Kansas' first nine points in the first five minutes of the game.
With 16:20 to play in the second half, Ellis rose up for an alley-oop slam. He caught sophomore guard Frank Mason III's pass but could not finish the dunk. This play was nearly identical to Ellis' and one finish in Saturday's win against TCU. If Ellis had finished the slam, the momentum of Monday night's game may have been different.
["Perry] was going to be aggressive." Bill Self said. "He likes to play K-State. Perry played well."
The layhawks had only one player other than Ellis score in double figures, with freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. putting up 14. Oubre only managed to shoot 5-of-13 from the field and turn the ball over twice.
While Ellis was alone down low for Kansas — with his fellow big men scoring only three points on zero field goals — Kansas State's big men combined for 23 points, knocking in eight field goals.
"Our bigs got a goose egg," Self said. "Forty minutes, and they got a goose egg."
Ellis was unable to carry Kansas on his shoulders, receiving little or no help from his teammates. The other eight Jayhawks who played shot only 30 percent from the field, posting a 12-of-40 mark. Ellis tallied 38 percent of Kansas' total scoring for the night, his highest total for the season.
Ellis' point-per-game average has steadily increased every game since he put up eight points at TCU on Jan. 28. Over the seven contests since, Ellis has averaged 18.1 points. Kansas' silent leader is getting hot at the right time.
However, if the Jayhawks are to win an 11th-straight conference title and make a deep run in March, they are going to need to be more consistent. Other than Ellis and Mason, it has been difficult to count on any other player. Since sophomore Wayne Selden Jr's five straight games
of scoring at least 14 points from Jan. 31 to Feb. 14, he hasn't scored more than seven points in the last three.
The Jayhawks are now only a half-game ahead of Iowa State in the Big 12 with three games remaining; home games against Texas this Saturday and West Virginia next
week and the season finale in Norman, Okla., against Oklahoma on March 7.
"There's no more margin for error," Ellis said, "We have to take each and every game like it's our last."

Excluding Ellis, though, who finished the night with 24 points and 9 rebounds in 38 minutes of action., is where certainties about other performances gray.
"There's no margin for error," Ellis said. "We have to take every game like it's the last."
the lone Kansan in the starting lineup, junior forward Perry Ellis, took nothing about Monday night's Sunflower Showdown lightly.
Following the Jayhawks 70-63 loss inside Bramlage Coliseum, Kansas coach Bill Self rubbed a hand over his face in search of other answers.
"They've all had a chance to play," Self said. "We've got to find some way [to be more consistent]."
consistently. As Kansas weathered the early-energy of the Kansas State crowd, Ellis, scored each of the Jayhawks' first nine points.
"We did a good job getting the ball to him," Self said, "And he would finish for us."
But Monday night, in front of an announced-capacity
crowd of 12,528, Ellis was the proverbial one-man band for the Jayhawks down low. As Kansas labored mightily from deep — just 2-of-10 from three-point range — it mustered an even less savory three points scored from supporting post players.
"We put ourselves in a tough situation. It's not surprising losing on the road."
BILL SELF Kansas coach
In ten minutes, freshman forward Cliff Alexander was held to 0-of-1 shooting, a turnover, and four fouls.
In eighteen minutes, junior forward Jamari Traylor hit one of his two free-throws, missed a shot outside his range and gifted Kansas State a turnover.
And in 14 minutes, sophomore forward Landen Lucas chipped in two rebounds and a deft over-the-top assist to Ellis, but was quiet otherwise.
"Our bigs got a goose egg," Self said. "If you're not going to score — which is fine — at least be a rebounder and a defender."
Ellis would not take a shot in the final seven minutes of the game, leaving the rest of the team, which shot 12-of-40 (30 percent) from the field, to win a game in a hostile road environment.
"He disappeared in the last ten minutes," Self said. "[Kansas State] did a great job on him."
The Jayhawks shooting percentage fell from 41.9 percent in the first-half to 36 percent in the second. For the best statistical three-pointing shooting team in the Big 12, eight second-half three-point attempts resulted in eight misses.
The Jayhawks led by as many as 8 points in this game, and six points multiple times, but without assistance from Alexander or the bench, it couldn't get over the hump.

@Chandler_Boees
Last semester, in response to some changes made to the University's bus routes, some of the students on Daisy Hill were demonstrating their annoyance by mistreating bus drivers. Now it seems as if the air has cleared as students adapt to the adjustments made by KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit.
Despite such a negative initial reaction to the changes, this semester there have been no reports filed about mistreatment of bus drivers, said Jenny Erice, transportation coordinator at KU on Wheels.
Due to the construction of two new residence halls and the anticipated demolition
A time point that had previously been at McCollum Hall was moved, which upset a number of students. Due to this and McCollum's impending demolition, Erice said KU on Wheels moved the time point back to its original position.
of McCollum Hall, KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit made a change to the bus route on Daisy Hill in the fall, Erice said.
Around the same time, two other changes in the bus route affected the Daisy Hill residents.
"We just left the time point as is because it's going to be changed no matter what once McCollum is gone," said Erice. "We didn't press the issue, essentially."
Because of frequent issues with traffic flow on Irving Hill
KU on Wheels also cut out a route 11 stop on Daisy Hill to shorten the commute for students taking that bus and living off-campus.
"People [wanting to stop on Daisy Hill] were really angry
Road, KU on Wheels took out a stop for the 42 bus at the intersection of Irving Hill Road and Engel Road.
"[The traffic] would cause the 11 to be late, which caused the 41 to be late, which backs up people who are trying to drive through," said Erice. "We just decided that it was beneficial to not have that bus stop there for the 42, since it stops on Engel anyway."
Students in Lewis and Templin were upset, because they now have to walk from McCollum if they ride the 42 from campus back to Daisy Hill.
Even though students were angry, there was nothing KU on Wheels could do about these latter changes, said Erice. But students' anger seems to have died down.
when the 11 would stop at the stop sign, but not open the doors," Erice said.
"I don't know if they got used to it, or the anger wore down, or people forgot about it, but whatever happened, they stopped treating the bus drivers so poorly." Erice said.
McCollum resident Haley Hauch, a freshman from Lakeville, Minn., said she rides the bus due to her living on Daisy Hill.
“[The bus routes] have sort of just become routine,” Hauch said. “We're all pretty used to it.”

New legislation would repeal in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Undocumented immigrants would no longer be eligible for in-state tuition if legislation heard in the Kansas House Committee on Education passes. A hearing on Tuesday drew flocks of K-12 students, opponents of the bill from the University and numerous proponents who gave testimony.
Carla Rivas-D'amico, a sophomore KU student who is from Venezuela but was raised in Lenexa, gave testimony opposing the bill.
"While my family and I are documented, I have lots of friends and acquaintances who are undocumented, so I'm very close to that cause," Rivas-Damico said.
since 2004, undocumented students have been able to

Rivas-Damico, who also serves on Student Senate's subcommittee on status on minorities, said she sympathizes with the plight undocumented immigrants face.
"It gives incentive to violate the law," Kobach said during testimony in committee. "It's unfair to U.S. citizens who live in Nebraska or Missouri to pay

New director of student conduct begins work

@Riley Mortensen
KU alumnus Lance Watson is the University's new director of student conduct and community standards. Watson officially took his post Monday.
Watson joins the ranks of administrative leaders to oversee the non-academic conduct system for individual and organizational accountability, including sexual assault and sexual harassment violations.
The University's former director, Nick Kehrwald, left in December 2014 to join the University of Kentucky. Kehrwald faced many issues on campus regarding sexual violence, something Watson sees as part of a bigger conversation, he said.
"That's definitely on my mind right now," Watson
said. "I think it's part of the larger discussion I hope to have with folks. I want to hear students out on that."
As director, Watson will help educate students in accordance with the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities and will also select and implement sanctions.
"The opportunity to come, and honestly give back to Kansas, is huge to me," Watson said. "KU gave me so very much as a student. I really believe in KU and I believe in the students."
Watson graduated from the University in 2007 and went on to complete a master's degree in counselor education with an emphasis in student affairs at Clemson University.

New coalition established
After a lengthy debate, a group of about 30 people decided on the formation of the Legacy coalition, which is now the first official coalition of the 2015 election season.
The first order of business Tuesday night was to focus on certain values that the coalition will maintain and strive for throughout election season. Progressive values, integrity, Jayhawk pride, safety and bridging a gap between diverse communities on campus were all mentioned by those in attendance.
For Sydney Studer, a junior coalition affiliate from Shawnee, establishing these values is crucial for Legacy's success.

Classes in Stauffer-Flint Hall were dismissed early Tuesday afternoon after students and professors
smelled smoke inside classrooms and hallways. The cause is still unknown, but first responders from the Lawrence Fire Department suspect it had something to do with the heating and cooling system (HVAC) in the building.
"Something on the outside
got sucked into the whole [HVAC] system," Ben Dennis, a first responder, said.
Lawrence firefighters and EMTs arrived on the scene around 4:30 p.m. The fire department said a belt might have burned and the smell traveled throughout the building.
personnel assured staff the detectors inside the HVAC unit would alert the building of any further damage.
"Everyone smelled it all at once," said Ann Brill, dean of William Allen White School of Journalism & Mass Communications.
Crews left the scene after determining there was not a clear threat. Fire alarms did not sound and the building was not evacuated. Fire
Brill confirmed that classes and work in Stauffer-Flint would go on as normal the rest of the day.

McNair Program begins Rising Scholars initiative
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDV
The McNair Scholars Program has been rewarding students for years, but due to the high number of applicants, something new was recently added to compensate the additional candidates.
The program has enacted a "Rising Scholars" initiative for students who have been placed on a waitlist but still meet the qualifications to be a McNair Scholar. Rather than being admitted to the program right away, they must wait until the next academic year.
"The only difference between the McNair and Rising Scholars is that the Rising don't do the summer research internship like the others until the following year," said Program Director Mulu Negash. "We still do a few things with them, but not compared to those actually admitted."
The 2015 Rising Scholars
are sophomores KeAndra Goodman, from Riverdale, Ga., and-Daniel Whedon from Winchester.
"They're both promising students," Negash said. "If we had enough funding, they would automatically be a part of the group."
Negash described Goodman as driven and hardworking.
"She is in the School of Engineering, and she's fascinated by research and science as a whole," Negash said.
Whedon is a nontraditional student, whom Negah believes is extremely committed to his education.
"Being a 33-year-old father and working full-time makes things difficult to say the least," Whedon said. "So when I can get help from a program like this, it's really worth it."
He's double majoring in psychology and women, gender and sexuality studies.
through first-year student orientation.
"When I started here, I took the sexual harassment training that was required for incoming students, and I didn't think the videos and quiz were enough." Whedon said. "I think that we need to do more to inform students about this issue."
Whedon made the decision to study WGSS after going
After graduating, Whedon hopes to become a professor.
To be eligible for the McNair program, a student is required to have a 2.8 GPA or above, be from a low-income background and a first generation college student, or be an underrepresented minority.
Scholars receive academic and research advising, free tutoring in any subject, partake in a monthly workshop on academic and professional development and are offered a research methods course.

University, Watson originally saw himself going into law enforcement. But as he became more involved on campus and worked as an RA, he developed a passion for working on college campuses with college students, he said.
Watson says he is looking
forward to learning more, partnering with students to figure out what they want and need and building on the solid foundations he already sees.
"What excites me a lot about Kansas is [that] the students write the code here," Watson said. "They're the holders of the code, whereas at other institutions you might not see that."
For now though, Watson says he is just trying to figure out how everything works and is eager to meet students currently on campus.
"My door is open to folks to come in, and if you've got a thought about the process or you just want to come in and tell me what's on your mind, come on down," Watson said. "I welcome folks to come and talk to me, because at the end of the day that's what I'm here to do."

Representative Willie Dove (R-Bonner Springs) is a member of the Education Committee and said although he recognizes the children have no choice on being brought to America, it doesn't justify breaking the law.
"I'm pretty much a stickler for the law," Dove said. "The federal law has already been broken by the president. It's not up to Kansas legislators to break the law. People think because the president does it, it gives us the right to do it and it does not."
Although similar legislation has been proposed before without avail. Rivas-D'amico said the climate in the legislature has shifted, making the new bill more likely to pass.
"It's turned into a radical and hostile atmosphere especially if you're not white or straight or a man," she said. "I think given that, there's higher chance for this to pass."
Rivas-D'amico said while there is clearly a need for
legislators to fight against this bill, there is also a need at the University level to better include minorities.
"I think the University of Kansas is majority white," she said. "I think a lot of students that are minorities feel alienated. Our students need cultural competency especially when so many come from privileged, predominantly white backgrounds."
In an effort to solve this problem, Student Senate recently passed a comprehensive cultural competency training requirement that will be similar to the sexual assault training and alcohol education that students take upon entering the University.
If the legislation doesn't make it out of committee by Friday, it could remain in committee until next year and be passed at that time. Alcala said although he isn't sure whether the legislation will make it out of committee, he is sure the Republican party hasn't done itself any favors by proposing this bill.
"I've seen more unusual things happen," he said. "The Republicans say they want to cater to the Latino vote, but I can tell you this doesn't get them any mileage in my community."

the group drafted the Legacy coalition's bylaws. While writing these bylaws, an interim elections commission liaison, Harrison Baker, was appointed.
Also written into its bylaws was the need for a social media director position. None of the positions needed for the coalition can be appointed or voted on until the Presidential/Vice Presidential Caucus, which cannot be held until March 4. To fill each position of the coalition to Legacy's standards, coalition constituent Sophia Templin said they are looking for someone who would uphold the Legacy title.
"We want the chambers to be filled with people who are fighters and that are an accurate representation of the student body," Templin said. "We want integrity backing campus. We want to do something that KU will be proud of"
The election of the Legacy's president, vice president, campaign manager and other officer positions will take place at the Presidential/ Vice Presidential Caucus. Applications for slated Legacy positions will be available after the caucus via Facebook.
As of today, Legacy is now able to promote their constituency. Legacy's official social media launch day is Friday.

Plan to allow Kansas groceries to sell wine, liquor advances
JOHN HANNA Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. — Grocery stores in Kansas could start selling liquor, wine and full-strength beer starting in July 2018 under a proposal clearing a legislative committee Monday in a state once known as the home of saloon-smasher Carrie Nation.
The bill approved by the House Commerce, Labor and Economic Development Committee also would allow convenience stores to sell fullstrength beer, starting in July 2018. The committee's 10-7 vote sends the measure to the full House for debate.
It's a significant development for supporters of expanded alcohol sales in a state that enforced its own prohibition law until 1949 and didn't allow individual alcoholic beverages outside of private clubs until 1987. Yet the biggest impediment in recent years to greater alcohol sales in grocery and convenience stores has been the fierce opposition of liquor store owners, not lingering prohibition sentiment.
Kansas limits grocery and convenience stores to selling "cereal malt beverage," which is often described as weak beer, though some critics of state law say the product is almost as
strong as full-strength beer.
Supporters of the bill include chains such as Dillons, Hy-Vee and QuikTrip. They argue that wider sales of full-strength beer, wine and liquor would make the market freer and be more convenient for consumers.
"We're providing an opportunity for customers to buy what they want in one-stop shopping." Hy-Vee lobbyist Dick Stoffer said after the committee's vote.
Kansas has about 750 liquor stores, and many of their owners argue the bill would drive them out of business in favor of large, out-of-state corporations. The argument has resonated with some conservative, free-market

Republicans.
David Dvorak, the owner of Flint Hills Wine & Spirits in Andover, said he contributes to local charities, and makes
his $255,000 in annual business expenses locally. He also questioned whether state regulators would shut down a large chain retailer's store if it violates liquor laws.
But Rep. Scott Schwab, an Olathe Republican, suggested that liquor store owners were seeking special protection from larger retailers.
"Go out west, the gas stations are closed," Schwab said, referring to the western part of Kansas. "There are plants growing up in the cracks in the concrete. Where was the government law that kept them in business?"
Under the bill, the state would cap the number of liquor-store licenses on July 1. Then, in July 2018, a grocery store could buy such a license from one of the closest three liquor stores. Starting in July 2021, a grocery store could buy out any liquor store in the same county.

Monday at the Statehouse in Topeka. Their clients favor the measure, which allows convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and grocery stores, beer, wine and liquor, starting in July 2018.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces unanimously ruled Monday that prosecutors failed to prove that any of David Gutierrez's acts were likely to transmit HIV to his partners.
That decision overturns a 25-year precedent that had allowed military personnel to be convicted of aggravated assault solely on the basis of a positive HIV test, attorney Kevin McDermott said Tuesday. Gutierrez was not accused of infecting anyone with HIV.
The Associated Press sent an email to prosecutors seeking comment.
The court upheld a lesser
conviction of assault by battery for offensive touching to which his sexual partners did not provide meaningful informed consent. It also upheld his conviction for adultery, even though his wife participated with him in the swinger lifestyle. The court said his wife's participation is "immaterial to the question" of whether the government presented sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction.
At the time, Gutierrez was found guilty of the aggravated assault charge, as well as of violating an order to notify partners about his HIV status and to use condoms. He was also convicted of indecent acts and adultery.
Gutierrez was a sergeant at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita in 2011 when he was stripped of his rank and sentenced to eight years behind bars.
his sentence. The airman, who has been imprisoned since his arrest in August 2010, could be released from Fort Leavenworth prison within the next couple of weeks, McDermott said.
The appeals court on Monday upheld the lower court's decision on the other charges and sent the case back to the lower court to reassess
Gutierrez could still be issued a bad conduct discharge, rather than the more severe dishonorable discharge that he had previously faced.
In his appeal, Gutierrez challenged whether the risk to his sexual partners was high enough to constitute aggravated assault.
Defense lawyers argued the risk of infection by an HIVpositive man during sexual intercourse with a woman ranged from a 1-in-10,000 to 1-in-100,000 chance per sexual encounter, which they contend is so low that it doesn't meet the legal standard for assault. Prosecutors countered that the exposure risk was closer to 1 in 500.
The court concluded that even if the risk were 1 in 500, transmission of the disease was not "likely" to occur.

Jason Bourne a superior spy to Bond, James Bond
Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
When it comes to discerning the top fictitious spy agent of our time, none compare to the illustrious Jason Bourne, rogue CIA agent. Bourne is incomparable in agility, intelligence, resourcefulness, and most of all, sincerity of heart. It takes more than devilish good looks and superior hand-to-hand combat skills to be the best spy in Hollywood. It takes grit and a dose of amnesia. When posed the question, "Who is the better spy: James Bond or Jason Bourne?" I can answer with the utmost certainty that Bourne makes Bond look like an accountant in a Tom Ford suit.
First, Jason Bourne would win in a race up 14th Street, hands down (or tied behind his back). Jason is originally a Missouri boy, meaning he can scale an Ozark hill with the best of them. Mt. Oread was not built for the likes of a Londoner such as Bond. Bourne would use his incredible stamina gained in Treadstone training to easily glide past The Bull, The Hawk, The Wheel and finally make it to the Natural History Museum. Eat dust, Bond.
Second, Bourne would look far better sitting in Professor Mary Klayder's chair than James Bond for two reasons: Bourne is an encyclopedia of classic and modern literature. He could impress the beloved Klayder with his expansive knowledge of Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and Woolf's "To the Lighthouse." Plus, Matt Damon looks good sitting in anyone's chair.
Third, Jason has a stomach of a cow. He could, without a doubt, eat more Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wraps than James Bond.
Once again, Bourne's Midwest heritage puts him at an advantage over the Englishman. Additionally, Bourne's experience traveling around the world and testing different cuisines has prepared him for the bizarre aftertaste associated with the questionable chicken conglomeration. There is no question that Bourne could eat through all the wraps in the Underground and the Marketplace, leaving Bond with a tummy ache. Would you like some Earl Grey for that?
Fourth, the American agent would win an undergraduate research award for his study titled, "Who am I? The effects of being brainwashed by the federal government, shot in the back twice and having amnesia on cognitive development." No one can beat that study, let alone that title.
Fifth, as anyone who's seen the Bourne Supremacy would know, Bourne would win an automotive race from McCollum Residence Hall to the Kansas Union. In a show of unparalleled quick-thinking and resourcefulness, Bourne would hijack a KU on Wheels bus, plummet down Irving Hill Road, navigate the fierce pedestrians on Naismith Drive, circle the Chi-O fountain on two wheels and race down laj Hawk Boulevard, all while keeping University property damage to a minimum. Oh, and he was being chased by Treadstone operatives the entire time. And he made friends with a girl on the bus by talking about politics and environmental issues, and asked for her number (I was that girl).
Ladies and gentleman, there is no question. Jason Bourne, without a shred of doubt, is the superior operative. In this fictitious battle of strength and wit which has taken place on the University campus. Bourne has proven that his skill as an agent, his drive as a lost amnesiac, and his soul as a Midwesterner make him the better spy, and the better man.
Gabrielle Murran is a junior from Pittsburgh studying environmental studies and political science
Compared to Bond, Bourne is nothing more than an amateur
Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
It's simply a waste of time to explain why James Bond is superior to jason Bourne, because only silly people would think the opposite. No secret agent in the history of secret agents has ever been able to match up to Bond — the number of places he has blown up, fights he has won, Russians he has defeated, ladies he has seduced — the list goes on and on. In any case, let's see how Bond and Bourne would compare in five different situations right here at the University.
Who would sprint up 14th Street the fastest? I'm going to have to give this one to Bourne due to the fact that Bond would most certainly get distracted by the Douthart ladies on his way up.
Instinctively, he wouldn't be able to resist the sight of women reading books.
However, Bond would definitely look the best in Professor Mary Klayder's famous chair. Is there anything more irresistible than a fit British man in a tuxedo dishing out lame British jokes with a martini in one hand and a Walther PPK in the other? No.
Bond, a chemistry major, would clearly beat Bourne for the Undergraduate Research Award, with his project titled: "The chemical basis for understanding why a dry martini tastes better shaken, not stirred." The best Bourne (most likely an exercise science major) could do is present a project along the lines of "If you think you can run faster than me, you're wrong. I can run faster than you." Does he even know what research is?
Who would eat more Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wraps? James wouldn't even try — it's either caviar and cigarettes, or nothing, Jason.

A race from McCollum to the Student Union would begin with James letting Jason think he had taken the lead. Bond would then dip back into McCollum and contact Q from his walkie-talkie watch, through which Q would inform him of the whereabouts of the secret Thunderball jet pack.
James would then strap it on and, taking his time, draw out a heart in
"THE BEST BOURNE... COULD DO IS PRESENT A PROJECT ALONG THE LINES OF 'IF YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN FASTER THAN ME, YOU'RE WRONG. I CAN RUN FASTER THAN YOU.' DOES HE EVEN KNOW WHAT RESEARCH IS?"
the sky for the Douthart ladies before making his way over to the Union, just in time to beat Jason.
Clearly, James Bond is better than Jason Bourne at everything. Did anyone ever doubt that?
If at times it may seem that he's not, it's only because James knows that talking to ladies is much more interesting than sprinting up hills. Jason has a few things to learn before he can be considered the best JB. Having the same initials as James is not enough; the sound of "Bond, James Bond" is just too smooth to match up against.

Students need politically diverse teaching styles
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
However, I wish liberal professors would acknowledge
Taking a range of political science courses, a major aspect stood out to me: I agreed with almost everything my professors were saying. As they told me that American liberals do this and American conservatives believe that, I nodded my head in accord.
When I first walked onto the University's campus, the best phrase to describe me was "raging liberal." I was hard-set on my ambition to become a progressive politician and gleefully decided to major in political science. However, over the next year and a half, my decision changed.
But slowly I realized why I was agreeing with all their points — I was getting the liberal side of everything. Not all arguments across the political spectrum were being presented to me. Over time, I became concerned that my education was presenting one side of every issue, rather than broadening my perspective. In a 2012 report, the Los Angeles Higher Education Research Institute found that college professors tend to be "more politically liberal or far left" and those who identify as "middle of the road" are declining in number. I do not blame professors for being liberal. After all, it tends to be liberals and Democrats who increase funding for their institutions and salaries. Their bias is a component of self-preservation, in the same manner as military members who are generally more conservative due to the Republican Party's support for increased military spending.
the reason for their bias.
"THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR LIBERAL STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS TO CHANGE THEIR IDEOLOGY. INSTEAD, WE SHOULD BE EXPOSING OURSELVES TO NEW VIEWS."
The implications go beyond the professors themselves, and directly affect students. According to a study by political scientist Matthew Woessner, students who enter college as conservatives or liberals tend to keep their political alignment throughout their academic career. Woessner
finds that liberal students tend to take classes from liberal professors which is pretty easy, considering the statistics. Conservative students also tend to seek out professors with their same ideology, though with greater difficulty. This self-reassurance no doubt affects the diversity of views that conservative students subject themselves to, but the implications for liberal students are wider.
Woessner continues to say due to the saturation of liberal professors in American universities — and the decline of non-leftist professors — liberal students hardly have their views challenged.
This prevents them from being exposed to a variety of ideas and hampers their ability to argue effectively. As Woessner says, "if the point of college is to expose students to diverse worldviews, then the college experience for liberal students is sadly lacking"
I decided to challenge myself by taking economics classes, where professors' ideologies

are much more diverse, according to a study by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research.
This is not a call for liberal students and professors to change their ideology. Instead, we should be exposing ourselves to new views. Ignoring differing views simply because one disagrees can hinder a student's variety of life. Professors on the left who fail to give a fair say to each side should present both sides of the issues, not just one. Liberal students should render themselves to a wider variety of views, not just their own. In the process, both sets will be rewarded with a richer college experience, and students will have a larger set of knowledge to boot.

Researchers look at flirting styles, attraction
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Flirting has always been a way for people to communicate attraction, but does everyone have their own flirting style? According to new research by Jeffrey Hall, associate professor of communication studies, and co-author Chong Xing, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Communication Studies, the answer is yes. The research study also concluded that a person's flirting style matches how they show whether or not they're attracted to someone.
KANSAN: What sort of experiment did you have to do to study people flirting?
HALL: After preparing a subject pool of heterosexual singles, we first had them identify their flirting style through a questionnaire, and afterwards, each person was paired with a stranger. We observed 51 different pairs talk for about 10-12 minutes in a laid back environment with comfortable chairs and a coffee table. They were even provided with a set of conversation cards to facilitate an exchange if they couldn't on their own. Once they were done talking, we had them report their level of attraction toward their partner and we reviewed everything from there.
KANSAN: How many different types of flirting styles are there?
HALL: Five; traditional, playful, polite, physical, sincere. They are pretty much what they sound like, but there are more in-depth definitions available on my website.
KANSAN: What was the next step after observing the pairs? HALL: We coded the interactions for a set of flirting behaviors, and discovered both nonverbal and verbal ones. In the end, there were 36 verbal flirting behaviors, including nodding and smiling, which often co-occurred, along with making compliments, revealing personal information, teasing, and so on. Some of the nonverbal behaviors involved things like gazing directly at someone, having a higher or lower pitched voice, and crossing arms or legs.
KANSAN: What did you and your team find?
KANSAS: What did you and your peers do in the hall? These different behaviors indicated each person's physical attraction for each flirting style. In a very basic sense, people would convey their attraction and end up revealing their flirting style.
KANSAN: What was the most interesting thing you discovered throughout your research?
HALL: One thing was that sometimes you'll have behaviors that might be a turnoff for most people, but some flirting styles like it. For example, polite flirters will lean back rather than lean into the conversation, which might indicate disinterest, but that's not their intention. They are just trying to maintain a respectful stance.

Big Sean At The Redbury Hotel on Feb. 19 in Los Angeles. The rapper released his third album yesterday.
Big Sean delivers best work yet on Dark Sky Paradise'
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Album rating: 7/10
Detroit rapper Big Sean finally proves his rank among top rappers on his third studio album "Dark Sky Paradise," a pleasing contrast to his sophomore album "Hall of Fame," which flopped both musically and commercially.
A successful, well-received record has been a long time coming for Big Sean, who has been a part of the top six songs on the iTunes hip-hop charts seven times. Leading up to the album, he dropped some of his best bars on his noncommercial September EP, which included "I Don't F*** With You" and "Paradise," both of which appear on this album.
After a move from Kanye
West's G.O.D. Music to Jay-Z's Roc Nation last fall, Sean's ear for good production took a sharp turn for the better. Instead of rapping over basic, repeated production on his new album, Sean heads for the "dark sky" and gives a glimpse into his emotions on deep, thoughtful and sometimes dark beats.
For the first time, the Kanye West protégé has something lyrically worth listening to, which is something he has done very little of in the past. On previous records, his voice sometimes wavered in his rhymes, which could make them feel long-winded, something he avoids on "Dark Sky Paradise." The 26-year-old finally appears to be more mature and carries confidence in his rhyme-centered flow. He also attempts to find his
real footing in the rap game, or at least becomes conscious of his search for something more than just money. He zooms from how blessed he's been, to past struggles in relationships, to thankking God for his new girlfriend Ariana Grande.
With Sean confident on most of his rhymes throughout his third official record, it feels like he's finally become more than a mixtape-artist, and can hold his own on an album. However, he's still trying to find a feel for his place in the rap game, and you can hear it on this record, as he oscillates from his top rapper status to a man who is still trying to find exactly where he's going. With some self-awareness and fantastic production on this album, he's certainly taken a good stride in the right direction.
All Your Fault (ft. Kanye West and Travis $cott) —
This will be the track that will be played for years to come. The third track on the album features a sample of Ambrosia's 1978 hit "How Much I Feel" on the hook. West still uses a bit of his lately-vaunted autotune, but he makes up for it with his best true rap verse since the release of "Yezus" in 2013. Kanye's verse destroys the track, as he gives recognition to both Walt Disney and the Eric Garner tragedy. Big Sean is able to keep up for the most part. Sean's stronghandedness can especially be seen in the final "Watch the Throne"-like exchange between West and Sean, where Sean matches West verse-for-verse with impeccable flow.
BEST LINE: "Young Walt Disney, I'ma tell you truthfully/If you leave Mickey you gon' end up with a Goofy/I imagine thats what Chris told Karrueche" - Kanye West
One Man Can Change the World (ft. Kanye West and John Legend)—
Sean collaborates with two former counterparts from G.O.O.D. Music and sings his heart out over this piano track. While most of the album has a dark tone, this song feels like the sun is beginning to peek out behind the dark clouds as Sean reflects
over his past after opening up with advice from his grandmother — which the track revolves around. Sean uses that advice from his grandma, who endured far more struggles than he, to recognize that he's heading in the right direction and has a good head on his shoulders. Towards the end, the track features some smooth vocals from John Legend.
BEST LINE: "Look, think about it, close your eyes, dream about it/Tell your team about it, go make million dollar schemes about it/Success is on the way, I feel it in the distance"
Outro — This song puts a nice wrap on Sean's best record yet. It backs up the notion of Big Sean wavering on the idea of who he wants to be throughout the album, and it continues on the idea that the skies for the future have been cleared. Sean comes across extremely smooth on the track with a flow like a young Kanye West, and coalesces perfectly with the beat. It also comes full circle from the intro track "Dark Sky (Skyscrapers)", where he focuses on his past with advice from his dad.
BEST LINE: "Now baby, don't get too deep on me, I might have to pull back ... I guess women sometimes like a jigsaw, sometimes you get a lick, sometimes you get ripped off.
I Don't F*** With You (ft.
E-40) —
This is the sort of track you'd blare through your house after your parents leave for the night when you're in middle school. However, it does start with a pleasant (almost) soulful beat, but it goes south from there. It's a typical DJ Mustard production, which is good for certain artists, but it doesn't feel like that's what Sean is trying to do on this album. E-40 felt a little bizarre on this track as well. Sean's verse towards the end does help out the track, and is one of the better verses on the record, but it doesn't make up for the made-for-radio beat DJ Mustard put under the vocals.
Play No Games (feat. Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign)—
It isn't actually Big Sean's fault that this song is bad. It's the Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign disaster that essentially overwhelms this track. The topic this song tackles — "games" played in relationships — is better dealt with in other tracks by Sean himself. There's just a lot going on with the production from Key Wayne, and the hook from Chris Brown — with some contributions from Ty — interrupts the flow Sean has going. This track feels like a one-lane street with cars going both ways.

DULLY MERCER
Leo Renier, executive director of the 40th International Bamboo Organ Festival, poses by centuries-old world famous Las Pinas Bamboo Organ inside the St. Joseph Church at Las Pinas city, south of Manila, Philippines. The nearly 200-year-old Philippine bamboo organ, said to be the oldest and largest in the world, has survived time, storms and wars. But an annual concert that has showcased its unique, lifting music in a Roman Catholic church for four decades may play out for the last time this year due to waning funds and interest in a country where many have been enthralled by modern Western music.

MANILA, Philippines — It has survived time, storms and wars. But a nearly 200-year-old bamboo pipe organ, said to be the oldest and most complete in the world, is facing what may be its biggest threats yet: pop music and dwindling donations.

For the last four decades, music lovers from as far away as the United States, Argentina, Australia and Europe have come every year to a Philippine Roman Catholic church to hear the organ, the centerpiece of an international music festival. Chances are, this year will be the festival's last edition.
Organizers say they are broke because funding from traditional donors including the Philippine government, European embassies and corporate sponsors is drying up. Private companies are more keen to be involved in pop concerts than classical music, said Leo Renier, a Belgian, who founded the International Bamboo Organ Festival in 1975.
"They(corporations)aremore interested in entertainment," said Renier, a former priest and the festival's executive director. "If Justin Bieber of Canada comes, millions they are ready to spend."
Without the festival, the unique sound of the organ
Bamboo nines of the world famous Las Pinas bamboo organ in the St. Joseph Church at Las Pinas city, Philippines.
Swiss organist Guy Bovet, in
- completed in 1824 by the Spanish priest Diego Cera - would have no venue to really shine, Renier said. Sure, it would still be played during services at the St. Joseph Church in metropolitan Manila's Las Pinas city, but its sounds would never reach the ears of the world.
The organ, which is about 5 meters (17 feet) in height and 4 meters (13 feet) wide and occupies a portion of a wall on the left side of the church, produces clear, flute-like sounds through its 902 bamboo and 129 metal pipes. By pulling different knobs, an organist can make the instrument produce distinct sounds, which one player said was like calling on different members of an orchestra one after another.
As of last Wednesday, the eve of the eight-night festival that ends Friday, organizers had secured only a portion of the 3.2 million Philippine peso ($72,500) budget. The rest of the pledged donations had still not come in. Ticket sales alone were not enough to fund the performances. By next year, the reserves of the foundation that runs the festival will be dry.
"The bamboo organ is not just a piece of furniture with bamboo, but you have to hear it," Renier said, as performers rehearsed music from Bach's Mass in B minor under chandeliers made of Capiz shells and bamboo.
his seventh year at the festival, said, "All the bamboo parts of the organ are very gentle, and reminds you a little of, I would say, a pan pipe, or something like a wooden flute."
Renowned overseas musicians receive minimal pay to attend the festival, which serves as a forum for musicians to meet and a training ground for local talent. Several former members of the Las Pinas boys choir, which performs at the festival, have gone on to pursue international careers in music and organ building after training in Europe.
The festival's artistic director and resident organist, Armando Salarza, is a product of the boys choir, and has played the bamboo organ since he was 11. After high school, he was sent on a scholarship
to study music in Graz in southeastern Austria. He did his post-graduate studies in Vienna, but came back in 1992 to share his talent with the younger generation in his hometown.
Throughout its existence, the festival has been dedicated mainly to Baroque music, which preceded classical, because the bamboo organ was built as a retro-18th century Iberian-style instrument.
"It's the only place in the Philippines where you hear this kind of music and with this kind of interpretation," said Salarza, a professor of organ at the University of the Philippines.
Salarza said such music is seldom introduced in Philippine schools, with popular music most often
T
heard in public places and on the airwaves. The challenge, he said, is to educate and expose children to it.
"We keep coming back because it's a wonderful atmosphere, you find that nowhere else in the world, and the sound of the organ is magnificent," said Jules Maate, a 53-year-old Dutch expatriate who attended the festival.

THE MORNING BREW
Wayne Selden Jr. should start at point guard
It's hard to say that Frank Mason — a point guard with a high chance of making the All-Big 12 first team — shouldn't be Kansas' starting point guard. But at the end of the day, there is a better option to run the point on Bill Self's squad.
Wayne Selden Jr. should be the starting point guard for the Kansas Jayhawks. Obviously Frank Mason should still be a starter, but he fits the prototypical role of the two guard on the floor. He's a volume shooter, a great penetrator and runs well in transition.
As a point guard, Mason lacks in several crucial areas. Selden sees the floor much better, something you see when you watch Kansas play a basketball game. Especially recently, Mason has struggled to run a pick and roll. he frequently misses open passing lanes and passes up chances for easy

buckets by big men.
He's struggling with the concept of playing an inside-out game, and we witnessed it against Kansas State. Perry Ellis was on fire, and on track to set his career high in points. The Wildcats identified his dominance and began to double team him down low. Because of this, they exposed themselves on the perimeter, exhibiting weaknesses that Ellis was able to pick out.
But Mason was unwilling to change his game.
When Mason should have let Ellis dictate the offense from down low, he still tried running a motion offense on the perimeter. Kansas State defended well, without the need to double up on
Mason is too bull-headed for his own good.It's a great quality for a catch-and-shoot jump shooter,but not for a point guard who is in charge of running the offense.
Ellis in the post.
Selden, on the other hand, demonstrates an ability to not only adapt to different defenses, but to run his own offense and take what the defense gives him.
"We take a lot of pride [in instinct games]," he said after Kansas' first win against K-State.
selden's top three scoring games have been wins, meaning that he identifies when he's hot and he gets himself rolling. In games where he doesn't score a lot, he gets his team involved, dishing 16 assists in his three lowest-scoring games.
THE BREW
On the other hand, Mason's top three scoring games have been in losses. This demonstrates that Mason continues to play his own game regardless of how well his team is doing, or how much the team needs to get involved. He's had a
combined seven assists in those games. I am not saying that Frank Mason isn't a good player, or that he shouldn't start, but at the end of the day. Selden is a better passer, a better athlete, and sees the game unfold much better than Mason. If the Jayhawks want success in March, Selden needs to have the opportunity to demonstrate his success at the point.

What seed will Kansas get in the NCAA Tournament?
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
"ONE SEED"
Is Kansas one of the best four teams in the nation?
Maybe. Probably not, but there's no real way to know for sure.
However, the question of how teams should be seeded has less to do with how good they are, and more to do with their resumes. Here are Kansas' rankings this year:
RPI: 2
Wins against top 25 RPI teams:1
Conference rank (RPI): 1
Strength of schedule (RPI): 1 Strength of schedule (BPI): 8 Nonconference strength of schedule: 2
Kansas has one of the best overall résumés in the nation, and should the Jayhawks win the Big 12 and the conference tournament, there is no way they should be denied the one seed.
Look at all of the other sports. The team that wins its conference earns the top seed.It's this way in the NFL NBA, NHL, MLB and on and on.In college,it's different because there are five major conferences and only four
top spots, but there's actually a fairly simple solution. Give the top seeds to the winners of the four best conferences.
There's no way that two teams from the ACC should make the tournament as one seeds,when a better

last year, Virginia was given the final one seed in the bracket, despite having that same total: 6 losses. Also, last year three of the two seeds had at least seven losses, meaning that the Jayhawks' record is probably not going
conference won't get a single spot, especially given that there will be a definitive answer as to who is better between Duke and Virginia following conference play.
One question that won't have a definitive answer is whether the worse team of the two is better than the Jayhawks. So why should Kansas be penalized for that?
By the way, it's worth mentioning the Jayhawks are in the top 30 in the nation in both three-point percentage and rebounds, while putting together an impressive 22-6 record. While six losses may seem like a lot for a one seed,
to be the deciding factor keeping the Jayhawks from the top line.
Overall, in March there's a checklist that a team should have to hit to get a one seed. The team should have to be the best in its conference, have fewer than 8-10 losses, and have played a top 25-30 nonconference strength of schedule. The Jayhawks certainly hit all of those marks, and should they run the table, there absolutely no reason that they shouldn't be given the one seed that they have rightfully earned.

"TWO SEED"
In Bill Self's tenure as the men's basketball coach for Kansas, the Jayhawks have never received lower than a four seed in the NCAA Tournament. They have once again built a very impressive résumé. Even though they are just 22-6, the Jayhawks' résumé will keep them from falling to a three
currently has the Jayhawks as the last two seed in his weekly Bracketology. The Jayhawks' loss at Kansas State last night was the deathblow to any chance at a one seed. They were already going to have an uphill battle, historically not playing well away from home. Kansas is 9-5 away from Allen Fieldhouse, with their most impressive wins coming against Baylor in Waco, Texas, and Utah in Kansas City.

seed. But, their inconsistent play has cost them too many games and will keep them from getting a one seed.
The Jayhawks have the number two RPI Ratings Percentage Index), which is a method used by the NCAA Selection Committee to evaluate teams. Additionally, the Jayhawks have the number one SOS (strength of schedule) by a wide margin thanks to the brutal Big 12.
ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi
With that being said, Kansas will not fall to a three seed because their résumé is fantastic. They have more top 25 wins than anybody in the country, and are still in a good position to win or share the Big 12 title.
According to Lunardi, the four number one seeds are Kentucky, Virginia, Duke and Gonzaga.
At 27-0, Kentucky has locked up a one seed.
Virginia is in a great position to secure a one seed, too. They are battling injuries, but currently sit 25-1 with an easy schedule to finish the season. Duke is slightly below these two, but not by much. They are 24-3 with the fourth ranked RPI and sixth ranked SOS.
Gonzaga is the most likely team to fall. They are 28-1, but have the eighth ranked RPI and 92nd SOS. The selection committee is always hesitant to give a mid-major a one seed, especially if there are not many impressive wins to speak of. Their most impressive win is against SMU by 16, which is their only win vs. an RPI top 25 team.
If any of those teams do not get a top seed, Wisconsin is the most likely replacement. They have the sixth-best RPI and 32nd SOS while Kansas has a better RPI and SOS. Wisconsin is currently 26-2 and Villanova is 25-3.
Kansas has the resume of a one seed, but they just haven't won enough games. They have had chances to win close games on the road, but have blown a few opportunities, which will cost them on Selection Sunday.

Kansas stays afloat despite upset by Kansas State
A after freshman forward Cliff Alexander
Alexander committed to Kansas, he told the Chicago Tribune he wouldn't mind extending his stay in Lawrence past this season. He should heed his own advice when the time comes.
The former No. 4 recruit in the nation has shown glimpses of exceeding talent on the jayhawks' roster, but if he were to decide against a second year after this season, he likely wouldn't be ready for the NBA.
“[I could] stay and get better,” Alexander said last March. “Some guys leave and they aren't ready. They rush in and they're rushed out.”
Though Kansas is 13-0 when the 6-foot-8 forward plays more than 19 minutes, that record doesn't portray his lack of development in his first year under Self. That can be partly attributed to his absence of playing time, especially recently, with only 27 minutes of court time in the last three games combined, despite starting in all three.
On Monday night against Kansas State, Alexander played only 10 minutes after getting into quick foul trouble. He's also struggled with general basketball IQ on the defensive end, and Self has been quick to send him to the bench when he does. Simply put: It's not that Alexander doesn't have talent, it's his inability to hone his talent that's holding him back.
College takes talented athletic specimens, progresses their skills, and matures their game. If he leaves at the end of the season, he'll deprive himself of just that. But if he stays, Self needs to be in his corner and fully support that decision. The way Self's deployed Alexander thus far isn't something that the freshman should or will be compelled to give up a big payday for.
If Alexander is going to reach his full potential in a Kansas jersey, Self can't decide to bench him even when he struggles. Having a player's back through thick and thin, helping them understand and learn from their mistakes is how a team can limit one-and-dones. If a player gets that support, they enter the NBA more refined than before.
Rather, by just plopping his struggling players on the bench, Self created a divide between himself and those one-and-done type of players who want to bring their talents to Lawrence.
Edited by Vicky Diaz Camacho
its hard to give a coach who has won 10 consecutive Big 12 titles advice, but if Alexander wants to reach his full potential, and the Jayhawks want to benefit from the presence of a top talent in college basketball on the court, then Self must do more than rush Alexander in and rush him out. They need to be on the same page.

1. IOWA STATE (20-6, 10-4) Despite trailing the Jayhawks by a half game in the Big 12 standings, the Cyclones sit at first in the power rankings, having won three games in a row and four of their last five games. In his weekly press conference, Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said that he was happy with his team's execution as of late, which certainly was a factor in the Cyclones' win against the Texas Longhorn.
2. KANSAS (22-6, 11-4)
While the Jayhawks are technically first in the Big 12 standings, the team is just 1-2 in its last three games and 3-3 in its last six. All of a sudden, the Jayhawks are in danger of not winning the Big 12 for the first time in a decade, and it's definitely got some fans nervous. Following the Sunflower Showdown, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said it "wouldn't surprise me at all" if Iowa State were to win their remaining regular season games, meaning that the Jayhawks would have to be perfect to retain their title as Big 12 champion.
3. OKLAHOMA (19-8, 10-5)
The Sooners have slid under the radar this year, but they're still in the Big 12 race at 10-5. Simply put, if they had just managed to take care of business against Kansas State, whom they lost to twice by a combined six points, they'd be in sole possession of first place in the Big 12. The Sooners do, however, have an incredibly tough close to the season, as they play the second-place Iowa State Cyclones on the road before finishing out the year against first-place Kansas.

4. BAYLOR (20-7, 8-6)
Baylor has continued to be one of the more baffling teams in the Big 12. The Bears have beaten the likes of Iowa State, Oklahoma and West Virginia, but they also lost to Kansas State, played a close game with Texas Tech and needed overtime to beat TCU.
Regardless, the Bears managed to put together a solid season, and Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg was complimentary of the way Scott Drew coached Baylor this season, saying he'd done an "unbelievable job."

6. TEXAS (17-10, 6-8)
The Longhorns have really struggled in the Big 12, almost
seeming unprepared, but they've done something that is the mark of a good team: They've taken care of business against the proverbial bottom feeders. Texas is 5-0 against the bottom three schools in the Big 12, while Kansas, Iowa State and Oklahoma, who are generally considered the three best teams in the Big 12, have lost at least one game to that same group.
7. OKLAHOMA STATE (17-10, 7-8)

the Cowboys have really fallen
off, dropping three in a row, one
of which came surprisingly to

8. KANSAS STATE (14-15, 7-9)
It's been a very rough season for the Wildcats, but they did manage to knock off the Jayhawks for a second year in a row, and they've somewhat turned their season around following a disastrous nonconference slate. After defeating Kansas, Weber even noted how big of a game it was for his own job security, saying he was told to do one thing: "Just beat Kansas."
9. TCU (16-11, 3-11)
After stringing together a perfect nonconference slate, the Horned Frogs started off Big 12 play at 1-10 before winning two of their last three games. While the Horned Frogs have virtually no chance to make the tournament, short of running the table in the Big 12 Tournament, coach Trent Johnson did say he was proud that his team hadn't quit on him, following a loss to the University of Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse.

10. TEXAS TECH (12-16, 2-13)
The Red Raiders missed out on a rare opportunity to get a Big 12 win on Saturday, as they fell to the Oklahoma Sooners in overtime. For the Red Raiders, their last two losses were against ranked opponents by five or fewer points. This is a promising sign, especially with their next game against the TCU Horned Frogs.

Kansas (13-15, 4-11) looks to snap a five-game losing streak as they host their instate rival Kansas State (15-11, 5-10) in the Sunflower Showdown tonight at Allen Fieldhouse. Both teams are on losing skids with Kansas State losing their last three games. Kansas will host Student Fandemonium, where students have a chance to win thousands of dollars worth of prizes.
Kansas sits one game back of a three-way tie for eighth-place with Kansas State and Texas Tech in the Big 12 Conference. With a win tonight, Kansas could also close the gap between it and seventh-place West Virginia, who is two games ahead of the jayhawks.

The teams previously met on Jan. 11 in Manhattan. Kansas got off to a good start, but a late second-half surge by Kansas State defeated the Jayhawks, 58-52. Freshman guard Chayla Cheadle led Kansas with 15 points in the game. Senior forward Chelsea Gardner added 13 points as well, but was in for tough trouble for most of the game.

One question for Kansas is the status of senior guard
Asia Boyd, who left Saturday's game against Oklahoma State late in the first half with an ankle injury. If Boyd is out, Kansas will have to depend on just eight players suited up, and will miss Boyd's 10.3 points per game.
Kansas will need to depend on Gardner and senior guard Natalie Knight to score if Boyd can't go. Gardner averages 16.5 points and
8. 1 rebounds per game, and Knight has scored 20 or more points in her last two games, and has averaged 12.9 points and five rebounds per game.
Freshman guards Lauren Aldridge and Cheadle will have to contribute as well.

Student Body President Morgan Said advocates for adding non-academic misconduct notations to transcripts at full Senate on Wednesday night.
Full Student Senate passes transcript notation bill
ALANA FLINN
@alana_finn
full Senate passed a bill that supports the addition of a notation to transcripts of students who are suspended or expelled for non-academic misconduct.
Since non-academic misconduct would include sexual assault or any violation of a sexual harassment policy, the bill is an attempt to combat the issue on campuses by preventing another Kansas Board of Regents' school from accepting a transfer candidate without full knowledge of the student's history of misconduct.
Student leaders from Kansas Board of Regent schools will present the bill on March 11 to board members of KBOR, Student Body President Morgan Said said.
This policy, should it pass through KBOR and be implemented, would help deter a growing sexual assault issue on KBOR campuses. The bill cannot be put into place until it is approved by KBOR, and the notation could only be placed on the transcript should the University have jurisdiction over the offense.
"KBOR needs to consider this policy to show its interest in the overall well-being of students in the Kansas higher
education system," Said said. "Especially with recent education funding cuts, we need to work harder than ever as a state to show concern for students in non-monetary ways."
Student Senator Emma Halling said Kansas is the first state to try to pass legislation like this.

Student group protests Keystone Pipeline concerns
MIRANDA DAV!S
@MirandaDavisUDK
About 30 students gathered on the lawn in front of StaufferFlint Hall on Wednesday afternoon to protest ongoing concerns with the Keystone XL pipeline.
The protest was organized by the First Nations Student Association, and about half the students were from the University and half were from Haskell Indian Nations University.
The group's concerns focused on possible environmental effects of the Keystone XL pipeline as well as concerns about breaking Native American
treaties if the government pursues the project.
Julia White Bull, a graduate student from Lawrence and president of the First Nation Student Association, brought her five-week-old daughter to the protest and said one of her main concerns was making sure her children and all generations to come would enjoy the same benefits of the environment that she did.
"Our group had an idea to protest the Keystone Pipeline, in regards to saving the water, saving the land, saving future generations," White Bull said.
White Bull's daughter, Ohiniya, was wearing a onesie that
said, "#NoKXL My future depends on you."
On Tuesday, President Obama vetoed the bill that would pave the way for the pipeline.
"Through this bill, the United States Congress attempts to circumvent longstanding and proven processes for determining whether or not building and operating a cross-border pipeline serves the national interest," he said in the message.
However, congressional Republicans plan to attempt to override that veto and the pipeline still remains in question.

Lawrence-based band Pink Royal is one of several bands that has recently resorted to the alternative method of crowdfunding - a way for supporters to donate money directly to an artist to help them finish a project - to further its endeavors and help finance its upcoming album.
The band's crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, a website specifically for crowdfunding, features several perks from receiving a producer credit on the album to a house concert from the band, depending on how much each supporter donates. The campaign ends on Mar. 22 and the band's goal is to receive $5,000 in donations. So far, it has received $1,280.
The band plans to release its full-length, self-produced album entitled "Taps" in April. The album is being produced by Jim Barnes, the drummer of Kansas City band, Hembree.
In support of the anticipated release, Pink Royal will open for Magic Man, a synthpop band from Boston, at the Bottleneck on Feb. 26. The show is sponsored by both Student Union Activities and KIHK.
Pink Royal began three years ago when a small collective of musicians came together to create a band. Since its inception, the band has seen members come and go, but its current rendition has been together for two years. Current members of the
"I was a self-taught musician, played by ear," LaCour said. "Honestly, for most of my college career I didn't think something awesome was going to happen. My fourth year of college was when Pink Royal was formed and its been one of my most passionate projects I've been involved with."
band include: Dylan James Guthrie on vocals, Steven LaCour on guitar, Will Chertoff on guitar, Alex Hartman on drums and Nick Carswell on bass guitar and keys.
LaCour, 24, is an original member of Pink Royal and an alumnus of the University. LaCour majored in Engineering and currently has a full-time job as an engineer. Growing up he wanted to be a drummer, but eventually picked up guitar.
By the sixth grade, Guthrie had begun playing guitar, which he said changed his life. He later joined a choir and realized he could sing, and that ended up sparking a passion for it. By the time he
Guthrie, 23, is a senior from Lawrence majoring in English Literature and plans on graduating this spring. Guthrie has always been around music and knew it was something he wanted to be a part of. By third grade, Guthrie had already joined a band called the Busy Boys which wrote songs about typical kid topics.
"Busy boy, busy boy, gotta be a busy boy/Comb my teeth, brush my hair, do everything 'cause I just don't care," Guthrie sang.

Researchers support integrated classrooms
ALANA FLINN
@alana_finn
In an attempt to create a full inclusion curriculum for students of all learning spectrums, researchers and technical providers at the Schoolwide Integrated Framework for Transformation Center (SWIFT) are working on implementing a program at the University that would include students labeled "special education" into general curriculum classrooms.
SWIFT is a program that exists to give the same learning experience to "special education" students by allowing them to be in the same classrooms as their peers.
Wayne Sailor, professor of special education and director of the SWIFT Center at the University, said achieving this integration would be to drop labels altogether.
"I don't think we really need to label people, and we don't need to segregate them based on their labels," Sailor said. "Instead of asking what the problem is, we should ask, 'What does this kid need to succeed to the maximum extent possible?' and then match resources through that instructional need. That way, we don't need segregated classes for kids labeled 'disabled'." A SWIFT classroom would work with the use of a Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS), Sailor said. Original models of this idea are known as Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS), which were established through research at Vanderbilt and the University of Kansas in the mid-1990s.
The combination of RTI and PBIS then creates the idea of MTSS. Kansas, Florida, Michigan and Missouri were the earliest states to adopt MTSS, said Kari Woods, a member of the SWIFT Communications and Dissemination team.
Tier one is academic intervention connected to the regular classroom and curriculum. If a student were having problems, they would be identified through screening and then go into tier two intervention.
Tier two would remove the student and serve them in special education classrooms, but with the idea of carefully monitoring their progress to get them back into tier one.
The original model had three tiers specifically designed for special education students.
"The unit of analysis is no longer the classroom; it's about the entire school and with secondary education, even the community," Sailor said. "So we're looking at a different landscape for where you educate in school. Instead of Ms. Jones' fourth grade class, it may be in the school library, cafeteria, playground or all-purpose room. But, under MTSS, what you wouldn't have is segregated classes."
Tier three is for intensive interventions of students who cannot overcome tier two.
The SWIFT framework has been implemented in 64 schools for about a year and a half, Woods said. A full transformation to the take curriculum would take approximately
MTSS focuses on schoolwide application instead of just classroom-based.
four years. Jennifer Marcinkowski, president of Able Hawks, a student organization that promotes the accessibility of services for special needs students, said she agrees with integrating special education students into the general curriculum.
"You have to start with the numbers, and statistically looking at KU, one in every 10 students on campus has a disability of some type," Marcinkowski said. "Segregating kids with disabilities is hiding them and labeling with a stigma. They don't go to class with their peers, don't eat or do socialization with their peers, so you immediately remove all of these opportunities that kids without disabilities are enjoying. Having disability awareness in society is the responsibility of every individual."
four years.
Implementing MTSS throughout schools is beneficial for both special education students and educators, Sailor said.
"These are people that deserve better. They can learn stuff, and through learning stuff, which is the purpose of public education, they can have a higher quality of life when they graduate." Sailor said. "What you have is a broader use of the available space of the school and a broader range of people at the school involved in the education process. Basically you rethink the way you organize a school, its space and the way they organize their personnel. Collaborative teaching occurs between general and special educators...you have a fully integrated system of support using MTSS as a driver."

Student Senate has also been working on bills regarding the finances of college students. Government Relations Director Will Admussen announced some of the plans for Big 12 On the Hill, which will take place March 1-4. Admussen, Said and Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner will travel to Washington, D.C. to propose certain legislation to Kansas lawmakers.
Admussen said they will propose the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, which acts as a blanket for setting up the college financial system. They will also propose the streamlining of FAFSA, which would make it quicker for people to fill out.
Treasurer Madeline Sniezek said line item financial review has been completed and $114,000 will be allocated to student organizations, should it be approved and voted on by committees and full Senate.

The Kansas Legislature is working to make it legal for residents to participate in fantasy sports leagues that have a bet-in or play for money.

finds two major issues with that statement.
"Why have a rule if it's not going to be enforced?" he said. "Secondly, that the Kansas Department of Revenue lately has kind of been reinterpreting some statutes as far as alcohol enforcement for revenue, so I'm worried that somewhere down the road someone might say this could be a money-making thing for the state of Kansas."
Ben Anderson, a sophomore from Thornton, Colo., said he was unaware and shocked that fantasy sports are illegal in Kansas.
"To be honest, I'm surprised because there's all these ESPN leagues online you can pay money for," he said. "I go on Yahoo with my friends. One league we do it just with my friends for bragging rights. Another league I'm in, we put $20 or $30 in as a buy-in, and
Anderson began playing fantasy leagues with his friends in high school as just a game, but when he reached college, they began to play to make money.
"We realized we can turn this into a profit," Anderson said. "We were like, 'Let's get some dumb people who don't know football, have a buy-in and beat them in the buy-in.'"
"By and large, it's been very favorably received," Hildabrand said. "Usually a person's reaction is, 'Oh my, I didn't know this was illegal.' I've had legislators tell me they're participating in this as well, and they had no idea they were breaking the law. This is not a democratic or republican issue."
Hildabrand said he anticipates a hearing in committee within the next few weeks and expects few opponents in the legislation.

ification in the top 16 is a really rare occurrence" said Sean Kennedy, an assistant policy debate coach for the University. "[A top 16 qualification] can really make or break a program for a span of five-to-seven years."
Kennedy recruited Robinson to come to the University last summer after working with her at a summer camp at Dartmouth University. Robinson is only the second freshman from the University to qualify for the National Debate Tournament.
"She's come a really long way. She's very talented and I recruited her to come here because of that," Kennedy said. "But she has shown an ability to realize her talent and to really perform well a lot more quickly than I think anybody thought that she would."
DEBATE FROM PAGE 1A
"Just as the first-round process demonstrates the consistency of a single team over the course of a season, I think the fact that [the University] has had so many first-round qualifiers illustrates the consistency of our program across the entire history of its existence," Kennedy said.
Kennedy said that the University having so many first-round qualifiers shows the consistency of the program.
"I tend to think that 90 percent of debates are won before you get to the tournament, with preparation, practice speeches and really spending time thinking about other teams' arguments and how your arguments will interact," Hampton said. "It also takes an incredible amount of work from our coaching staff, which really contributes into making the team successful."

Health activist to share eating disorder story
SHERYL MILLER
@KUSheryl
As an end to National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, health activist Ali Dostal will speak tonight at 7 p.m. in the Malott Room of the Kansas Union about her experiences battling an eating disorder, as well as the resources available for those who suffer from disorders.
PETRINE RAYMOND
Dostal
Dostal, from Blue Springs, Mo., is a volunteer speaker and activist for the National Eating Disorders Association. Dostal said she decided to become a speaker because she is passionate about helping others who live with eating disorders.
"People that have eating disorders need to know there are resources out there and that people truly do want to help, even when they think they are stuck," Dostal said.
Dostal is in recovery from an eating disorder. During her treatment, she learned that almost half of the men and women in treatment with her had developed their eating disorders while in college.
"That to me is incredibly sad. College is supposed to be a fun experience and no one should have that taken from them." Dostal said. "If I can give hope to one person at my speech, I did my job right."
For Dostal, it is especially important for students with eating disorders to attend the lecture.
"The last thing someone with an eating disorder wants to do is hear someone talk
about how they recovered, but I promise it is worth it," she said. "Recovery is worth it."
Dostal said it's important not to make someone suffering from an eating disorder feel forced into going to the event. She suggested demonstrating care and support as a way to persuade those with disorders to attend.
Kirby Knipp, a senior from Overland Park, is a peer health educator (PHE) who helped organize Celebrate EveryBODY week.
"A lot of Jayhawks have been taking part in this," Knipp said. "We hung up positive messaging posters throughout bathrooms on campus. It really is a peer-driven campaign."
Other PHEs will be in attendance at Dostal's presentation because it is an important issue to college students, Knipp said. He said it was important that PHEs understand the severity of eating disorders and how to treat them.
that nearly 20 percent of college students, both men and women, surveyed said they had or previously had eating disorders." Knipp said. "We believe shedding light on this will help students become aware of the effects an eating disorder can cause and hopefully help their fellow Jayhawks or even themselves."
Christian Vargas, a licensed psychologist with the University's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), said it's important to have public conversations about mental health in order to reduce stigma.
"The National Eating Disorders Association found
"Acknowledging that eating disorders exist on our campus is the first step to bringing awareness to encourage understanding of the causes and treatment options," Vargas said.
This year's theme for National Eating Disorders Awareness is early intervention, said Kelsey Fortin, an education program coordinator for the Health Education Resource Office in Watkins Health Center.
"We are choosing to put a positive spin on the week by titling it 'Celebrate EveryBODY Week,' Fortin said. "A part of the presentation will be dedicated to body acceptance and loving yourself."
CAPS representatives will be available for consultation and for more information about treatment options during the event.

NICHOLAS CLAYTON/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rep. Annie Tietze (D-Topeka), right, criticizes a bill allowing nonunion teachers to bargain directly with local school boards as members of a House committee look on Friday, Feb. 20 at the Statehouse.
Kansas teacher negotiations compromise moves forward
NICHOLAS CLAYTON
Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Kansas House unexpectedly voted Wednesday to advance changes to collective bargaining between public school teachers and school boards based on a compromise those groups agreed to in January.
The chamber gave firstround approval to a bill that would allow school boards and teachers' unions to each bring five issues up for discussion during negotiations, in addition to salary and work hours. They can currently discuss dozens of issues, from pensions to vacation time.
The 67-52 vote, a surprise victory for the education groups, came after Rep. Sue Boldra (R-Hays) replaced a competing conservative
bill's language with the compromise provisions. That bill would have allowed non-union teachers to negotiate separately for pay, and school boards would not have been required to extend to them deals reached with the union. That language was stripped from the version that passed.
Boldra said she was not confident until Wednesday that the compromise would have a chance to pass, but she said after increased lobbying by school superintendents, it gained more support in the chamber.
The school boards and teachers' unions came to the compromise agreement after 18 months of negotiations, and representatives of both sides have said they would not support alternative terms.
"We continue to beat up
on teachers; we continue to devalue them, and this is one victory for them," Boldra said after the session.
Rep. J. R. Claeys (R-Salina) said that because the majority of teachers in the state are not members of the unions collectively bargaining their wage and work conditions with the school boards, the original bill would have given them greater freedom.
But, Rep. John Doll (R-Garden City) said in the 20 years he worked as a teacher who was not a member of the union, the bargaining units would still update him and other teachers on the talks and gather their input.
"I lived that for 20 years. I didn't belong to the union and I had a lot of say-so." Doll said. "I felt I had as much say-so as I wanted to have in negotiations."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Students can make change as senators
Kaitlyn Klein
@Kleinkm
I am a senior who is serving her too short, but wonderful, term as a student senator. I chose to join Student Senate this past year (with only a minimal understanding of what I would be doing) because a few involved students inspired me with their ideas for our University.
My experience with Student Senate is proof
you don't have to be highly involved on campus or popular with anyone in particular to make a difference. You can join a coalition of students who have the background to inform you of the rules and regulations, and help you understand the election process. I don't think I would have won on my own, but I do think it's possible to win a Senate seat, which is why I'm writing.
Whoever you are, wherever you are in your college
career, you can, and should run for Student Senate. You can form your own coalition of passionate peers or find out who is seeking slate members and ask how you can help. You don't need experience or an extensive knowledge of Student Senate - it can be learned along the way.
I know all Jayhawks are passionate about the University, and that means we have ideas about what is good and what needs improvement. You can do
more than vent to your friends; you can draft a bill or resolution to change things.
Student Senate is a great opportunity to address several diverse issues such as sexual assault policy; improving our comprehension of how underrepresented groups view our community differently; helping student groups get funding for events; lifting the burden student parents have with planning work and childcare around a class schedule, and
many more.
These are just some of the changes pursued during my brief time as a senator. There's so much more to be done and Senate needs fresh perspectives from students who see things differently. Please consider running for office or at least learning more about what your peers are doing to improve the Jayhawk community.
Kaitlyn Klein is a senior studying journalism from Bellevue, Neb.
Students can reap many benefits from on-campus jobs
Madeline Umali umali
Students at the University should choose to work on-campus jobs instead of looking for off-campus work. The University offers many different jobs to students each semester, with employment opportunities ranging from a research assistant to a desk secretary. Students need to take this opportunity to work for their university or department of study. Working on campus provides students with more benefits than working off campus.
+
Although some may have the privilege of not working during the school year, the majority of college students work part-time or full-time jobs to pay off loans,pay for rent or have a little extra spending money. According to a Think Progress article, a 2013 survey stated that approximately 80 percent of students work while in school.
One of the best reasons to consider working on campus instead of off campus is because it can count toward the Federal Work-Study Program. This program provides part-time and fulltime jobs to undergraduate, graduate and professional students who qualify for financial need. Through a work-study job, students can start paying off their education and avoid excessive student debt. Our university is fortunate enough to have Federal Work-Study, Kansas Career Work-Study and Summer Work-Study programs available for students. The University's work-study website mentions that work-study jobs are much more flexible with students' schedules because they are familiar with the academic calendar.
On-campus employers will be more understanding about scheduling. They know school is the most important priority for students. In addition, certain on-campus jobs do not require students to work during school breaks, weekends or when campus closes due to snow days or holidays, according to College Parents of America. Students can apply for departmental assistant jobs.
which tend to be less demanding on one's schedule. These departments are only open during the week and close by 5 p.m. Additionally, most on-campus jobs only have a 10-15 hour per week requirement, which makes juggling school and work a little less difficult.
On-campus jobs are perfect for students who live on campus as well,as most of their jobs will be within walking distance. Students can easily make it to work without stressing about how they will get there.
Working on campus also allows students to network with professors and students in the community. If a student receives a job in the department of their study, he or she will meet people in that school on a daily basis. The School of

Business offers many positions like IT lab assistant, assistant portfolio manager and teaching assistant. The School of Engineering hires students to be supplemental instructors, help desk workers and undergraduate research assistants. Working in their field of study may provide students with references or a potential job after graduation.
Students should look for on-campus work before they decide on other employment. According to the University's human resources department, the University employed 4,770 students on the Lawrence campus last year. There is a wide range of employment opportunities and students should take advantage of them. Aside from all the reasons given, working on campus promotes student engagement. By working on campus, students become more active members of the University.

'A Raisin in the Sun' to open this weekend
KATE MILLER

Nicole Hodges Persley, director of "A Raisin in the Sun," could never have predicted the relevance her play would have today. A play that focuses on the lives of an African-American family would have been important at any time, but recent events seem to have perfectly aligned with the set up for the premiere of her show.
"I picked this play a year ago, so we couldn't have predicted the 'now' and the tension that we're experiencing," Hodges Persley said. "We couldn't have predicted Ferguson, we couldn't have predicted any of these things — I just said, 'This is the play I want to do.'"
Mary Queen of Scarlet
Zechariah Williams, a junior from Overland Park, plays the role of Walter Younger, the father of the family. Despite the fact that he plays a character 15 years older than he is, the character and the play both speak to his personal life.
The play centers on an African-American family, the Youngers, in the late 1950s. In a time when integregation is just beginning, the family struggles with making a better life and achieving the American dream while remaining true to themselves.
"To me personally, the play is important on two different levels," Williams said. "On an artistic level, as far as African-American literature goes, there's not a lot of characters like the characters in this play. On a social level, it means a lot to me because I'm a young black man. It
speaks to me as a young black man who comes from a low-income family and goes to college and does all these things to live that American dream."
Although the play focuses on an African-American family, the ideas and themes presented apply to everyone, regardless of race, Hodges Persley said.

"People always want to frame ["Raisin"] as a racial play, but what play isn't a racial play as long as there's human beings in it?" she said.
"It's not just African-American students who need to know about this play; it's every student in this department that needs to know because it's American history," she said. "It's not African-American history — that's its specific endeavor — but this is American history."
However, she cautioned against simply viewing the play as a "racial play," saying there are other important issues at hand.
Despite recent events, Hodges Persley said it is also important to view the themes of the play through the era it was written in.
She mentioned nationalism,
"It's tough not to impose the lens that we have about social relations now onto that piece because what we live now is a result of what other people suffered and fought for," Hodges Persley said. "The freedom that we have now to think about race in a different way was paid at a price, and that price was people making tremendous sacrifices as artists to tell a particular type of story even though it was challenging."
feminism and racial relations as issues that affect every decision made by the characters in the play. As an actor, Williams said these issues helped him to relate to his character.
$ \bigcirc $
For Williams, the education and social commentary the play provides are important, but the characters are the strongest part of the play.
"We still fight the same battles today," Williams said. "We're still fighting racial battles; women are still fighting for equal rights. People are still trying to fight for the American Dream. These are themes that are still relevant to today's generation. Everyone has these dreams and aspirations that they want to be able to reach."
"The whole play really

entered high school, he knew singing was going to be a big part of his life. Guthrie eventually ended up attending the University and studying in the School of Music. Though, due to a few differences he had with the department, he decided to break away, but he still looks back at the music department with admiration.
Carswell, 23, has no ties to the University. He is from Ireland and met the other members of Pink Royal by stumbling across them at a piano bar in The Barrel House. He grew up in a household that enjoyed music, and said he always had an ear for music. He began playing by ear from the radio and eventually began playing piano.
each individual said they all come from a different background with different influences, and because of their vastly varying influences Pink Royal has attracted fans of many different demographics.
"Our influences and what we put in this band literally bridge generations," LaCour said. "I feel like that's how we've been able to capture bits and pieces of those eras of music."
The band's sound is not easily described. Guthrie said the band's music is "experimental groovepop," while Hartmann, 23, describes the band simply as "palatable."
Carswell said, "I think pop music is a dirty word these days, it's aligned with commercialism and phoniness, but good pop music appeals to everyone."
Pink Royal is a close-knit bunch and the band's creative process is similar to any group of friends hanging out and trying to entertain themselves.
"The most creative times are when we're just having a few beers, hanging out, then a melody will pop up," Guthrie said. "You can't ever really expect a song to be created. It's something that comes to you."
LaCour and Guthrie both credited Carswell as the person who can take spontaneous melodies and lyrics and make them flow as music.
LaCour said the process is very spontaneous and organic. "I feel like when I pick up a guitar, I'm just messing around and something may pop up that I really like, or maybe it won't," he said.
"I think the most interesting stuff we come up with
are combinations of different sounds," Carswell said. "I think that's the part of our process that I like the most, when we're presented with something that can work a number of ways, pulling it back, and making it sound good."
When something comes to one of the members of the band, they said they are not afraid to drop everything to record it on their phones or write it down. The band keeps a group chat in which members will send each other new sounds they're working on.
"I'd like to administer a public thank you to Steve Jobs for voice memos, its saved every musician's life so many times," Gurlei said.
Pink Royal will be performing April 25 at the Riot Room in Kansas City during Middle of the Map Fest. The band is also scheduling more upcoming shows, including an album release show and a stop day show.
For more information on Pink Royal, visit its website at pinkroyalmusic.com. Tickets for tonight's show at the Bottleneck are still available and can be purchased at suaevent.com/tickets.

Smith, Sheeran win, Kanye stirs it up at Brit Awards
JILL LAWLESS
Associated Press
LONDON — Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran each won a pair of prizes Wednesday at Britain's leading music awards — but it took Kanye West to introduce some edge, with a song that proved too strong for television.
Madonna gave the Brit Awards an unscripted moment when she took a dramatic tumble during a performance of "Living For Love."
The queen of pop, who entered wearing a long cape carried by dancers, fumbled with the garment and fell backward down several stairs during the song, which includes a lyric about stumbling.
The song continues "I'm gonna carry on" — and she did, continuing the matador-themed routine.
Elsewhere there were few surprises at the awards, which recognize international stars along with homegrown British talent.
Afterwards, she posted on Instagram that her cape had been tied too tightly, but said: "I'm fine!"
Touse-haired singer Sheeran won prizes for best British male solo artist and British album of the year, for "X." Soulful crooner Smith won trophies for British breakthrough act and global success.
"Since I was a little kid I dreamed of people all over the world singing my songs," Smith said. "This shows I'm stepping in the right direction."
Twenty-two-year-old Smith won four Grammys earlier this month, including record of the year for "Stay With Me."
Smith was sultry and
Sheeran was sensible, but West provided a dose of raw energy. He performed his raw, grime-influenced new song "All Day," whose lyrics, peppered with expletives and the n-word, were muted for the show's live TV broadcast.
West has said his new clothing line was influenced by the 2011 London riots, and the performance also had an urban-unrest' feel, involving dozens of dancers and a giant flamethrower.
It has been a big year for British music, with Smith storming the Grammys and artists like Sheeran, baby-faced singer-songwriter George Ezra and the still-ubiquitous One Direction making waves.
The Brits were once renowned for chaos, enlivened by incidents including a 1992 stunt in which British band the KLF left a dead sheep at the after-show dinner. But the ceremony has been transformed in recent years into a slick talent showcase.
West aside, the tone of the evening was accomplished but not edgy, opening with a sleekly saucy performance of "Blank Space" by a black-clad Taylor Swift.
Swift was named best international female artist, while "Happy" hit-maker Pharrell Williams was named best international male act, and Foo Fighters won the trophy for best international group. Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" took the prize for best British single.
A dash of rock n' roll was Winners in most categories are decided by a ballot of music-industry members, with some chosen by public vote, including a best British video award selected by online ballot during the ceremony. It was won by One

9 million tune in to Virgin in the Fantasy Suite 'Bachelor' episode
Katherine Hartley
@kat_hart9
about this moment, and teasers for the "virgin" episode were aired during the week before Monday's program.
Nearly 9 million people tuned in to watch the highly
methen the highly publicized "Virgin in the Fantasy Suite" episode of 'The Bachelor,' as dubbed by Twitter users. Like most episodes, Monday's centered on drama and suspense and magnified an issue that in today's society some might not say is an issue at all.
Becca Tilley, one of the three remaining contestants on Monday's show, finally revealed to Bachelor Chris Soules that she is, in fact, a virgin. Several articles had speculated
Some viewers question whether all of this sent the wrong message. Did it portray that being a virgin is some sort of downfall, or that it's such a big deal that it merits a dramatic reveal?
The reason for the sudden interest in the show is because of the "Fantasy Suite," a tradition of all 19 seasons, when the Bachelor and his remaining three contestants travel to an exotic place to spend more one-on-one time together. Each woman is usually presented with an invitation to spend the night with her bachelor in a hotel room.
as it is almost a taboo subject on the show.
What happens in the room and the expectations of the couple will always be cause for speculation.

previous contestant Ashley laconetti's, have been ongoing throughout this season's run.

However, Tilley chose this time to reveal to Soules that she was a virgin, and he responded with a deep sigh and a very awkward, dramatic pause.
A Washington Post blog challenged the show to "stop obsessing over the virgins" and instead focus on contestant Whitney Bischoff, who has to choose between Soules and her career. Either way, this episode brought into play the gender politics this show has always juggled, as the blog post said.
The storyline of Tilley's virginity, as well as
Since when has the question of whether a woman is a virgin become motivation for almost 9 million viewers to tune in and find out the answer to this suspenseful question? Leave it to "The Bachelor" to heighten the drama and suspense of what could have otherwise been a seemingly simple moment.

BASEBALL Jayhawks to face four teams in Florida 1 PAGE 28
COMMENTARY
Jayhawks need to put February in the past
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
Edited by Callie Byrnes
QUITE THE
TRACK
RECORD
Junior sprinter excels
both in and out of
the classroom
Nobody should be more excited for the calendar to read "March" than the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks are struggling this February, limping to a 4-3 record with one game remaining. Despite not playing well for most of the month, the Jayhawks have shown how talented they are, because they have had a chance to win in each of their losses.
Coach Bill Self is no stranger to seeing his team struggle in February. In 2013, they went 5-3 in February and 26-3 in every other month. In 2008 which is the year they won the NCAA Championship, the Jayhawks were 5-2 in February and 32-1 in every other month.
Kansas has not played a complete game since Feb. 2, when it had an 89-76 home victory over the Iowa State Cyclones. But it still has the time and the pieces to right the ship.
Despite some key players struggling, the Jayhawks were in the position to win in all three losses — two of them to top 25 opponents and one to a rival. The pieces are clearly there, and if they play to their potential, they can beat anybody. With Self at the helm, that seems very likely.
February, which is often referred to as the "dog days" of the college basketball season, is a common time for teams to hit skids. Players often look ahead to March, and who can blame them? College basketball fans look forward to the NCAA Tournament all season.
Now imagine being a 19- or 20-year-old kid on a tournament team and how hard it must be to not look ahead.
Through the end of January, Mason was the most consistent player the Jayhawks had. He is still passing and rebounding well, but has struggled to score as effectively this month. He averages 10 points, two below his season average, on 42 percent shooting, which is 3 percent below his season average.
For a young team like Kansas, what it's experiencing isn't that surprising. Underclassmen Frank Mason III, Cliff Alexander and Brannen Greene are all crucial to the Jayhawks' success, and they all have struggled this month.
Greene, who was on fire in January from the three, is shooting just 39 percent this month, which is well below his season average of 48 percent.
Alexander's biggest problem has been staying on the court. Whether it is due to foul trouble or not playing up to Self's standards, Alexander is averaging Just 14 minutes per game this month, three minutes below his season average. He is averaging 12 rebounds and three blocks per 40 minutes, and the Jayhawks have struggled in those areas when he's on the bench.

Like many athletes, junior All-Conference spinner Rhavean King's world revolves around her sport. But when she completes her education at Kansas, her career will continue off the track.
King will graduate with a degree in political science this May, a year early. She will then attend the University of Kansas Law School, as well as using her final year of eligibility on the track team running the 4x400 meter relay team, 800-meter and 400-meter.
"It just kind of fell into place," King said. "After I did that first year of summer school, and then I did the second summer of summer school going into my sophomore year, that's when my adviser told me, 'Hey, you're on track to graduate [early].'"
Coming into her freshman year, King was already ahead in credit hours. She went to Ridgeway High School in Memphis, Tenn., where she
was an International Baccalaureate (IB) scholar. King said that IB classes were similar to Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and she was able to have eight credits of English and Spanish transfer to Kansas.
In addition to her eight hours entering college, King has taken class in the summer each of her three years at Kansas. She also has taken around 16 to 17 hours a semester, another reason she will be able to graduate early.
King has heard all the difficulties the first year of law school can carry,but she said it will only more prepare her for the real world.
"The No. 1 thing every student athlete has and is able to do, is time management," King said. "So that, and my discipline is what I feel like is going to help me transition into that first year of law
"The biggest thing [graduating early] has prepared me for is the discipline to know that I'm going to be extremely busy," King said.
school."
One thing King said she had to learn coming into college was how to communicate with professors in order to stay on top of her studies during the track season. The team can miss up to three days in a specific week in the

spring. On road trips, King takes her schoolwork with her and stays up to date with her professors.
Shawn Alexander, a professor of African-American Studies and one of King's former professors, said King was always incredibly engaged
"It's about taking every opportunity to make sure you're on top of your studies," King said.
during class.
"There are many students that can [participate in class], and do it well, but there's an enthusiasm, a directness that she has," Alexander said. "She brings the same determination and skill and enthusiasm to the classroom that she brings to the track."
Sophomore Adriana Newell has competed on the same 4x400 meter relay team with King for the past two years.
"She takes pride in being a leader," Newell said. "Our success is her success. She kind of leads by example. Like, you don't ever see Rhavean doing nothing. She takes what she does on the track and academically very seriously."
King was an All-Big 12 Performer in 2014, and named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team. She was also a part of the Fall Big 12 Commissioner and Athletic Director's Honor Rolls.
"I think she sets a great example for our other athletes." Kansas track and field coach
Stanley Redwine said. "Leaders stand out, and she has found a way to stand out. She's just a great person to have around the team."
King is also in the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course Law Program. The summer between her second and third year of law school at Kansas, King will go to Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va., for 10 weeks. Upon completion of the program, she will be a second lieutenant in the Marines.
She will return to Kansas for her final year of law school, and after graduation she will attend Marine Basic School for six months. After Basic school, King will go to Naval Justice School in Rhode Island for 10 weeks to learn military law.
At the conclusion of Naval Justice School, she will be assigned her case as a United States Marine Corps Judge Advocate General, which King says is her dream job.

When the chips are down.
When the lights are on.
When it's now or never.
You can throw in just about any cliché when the Jayhawks take on the Wildcats, and it'll work. With one of the biggest crowds of the year on hand, the Jayhawks had an opportunity to get their first win against the Wildcats in Allen Fieldhouse since Jan. 2, 2013. However, the visitors from Manhattan were not about to roll over, as they'd go on to win by a final score of 55-48.
"We fought back [and I] thought the effort was good," said senior guard Natalie Knight in the postgame press conference. "We just made
some boneheaded mistakes at the end.
The Jayhawks jumped out to a quick start, scoring six of the first eight points in the game. Kansas forward Chelsea Gardner looked like she was primed for a big-time performance after she connected on a couple of 12-foot jumpers, but the Wildcats did a good job of slowing down the game.
Over the next seven-and-a-half minutes, the Jayhawks would score two points and commit five turnovers, while shooting just 1-of-11 from the field. However, it was very much still a game as the Jayhawks' defense had been near perfect in that stretch, as there was little separation between the two teams.
As the half came to a close, Kansas State's Haley Texada knocked down a couple of triples. A game that felt like it had been incredibly close, suddenly didn't look that way on the scoreboard, as the Wildcats led 28-21.

they'd run away with the game. In fact, with 9:21 left to play in the game, the margin differed by just a single point more than it was at half, as the Wildcats held an eight-point lead.
Hen came the next six minutes, the Jayhawks went on a 10-0 run to take the lead, following a three-point bomb from Knight, but it was the defense that really stepped up in a big way. Gardner had four huge blocks inside the paint to keep the Wildcats off the board, as momentum swung completely to the side supported by the crimson and blue.

Kansas baseball heads south et again to play in the Snowbird classic in Port Charlotte, Fla. eb. 26- March 1.
The Jayhawks will be going up against four different teams this weekend: Chicago State (Feb. 6), North Dakota State (Feb. 17), Northeastern (Feb. 28) and Boston College (March 1). This is the second weekend in a row the Jayhawks will play four different teams.
Pitching continues to be an area of concern for the lawhays as the team has surrendered 51 earned runs so far this season compared to their opponents 28.
"The numbers aren't very fun look at right now," associate oach Ryan Graves said.
The Layhawks are still feeling pain after losing the team's top four pitchers to the pros, and filling those spots with developing young players. Graves emphasized how much the young pitching staff needs to work on pitching with runners on base.
"Pitching with runners on and pitching with runners in scoring position are where our numbers are really bad," Graves said.

"They're learning how fast this game can be at this level, but at the same time I don't see any of them shying away from competition," Graves said.
While the pitching staff gains more appearance, the veteran offense will look to continue their success at the plate this season. Seniors Blair Beck and Connor McKay are hitting batting averages of .400 and .407 respectively and have 10 of the team's 33 RBIs. Colby Wright has also stood out for the Jayhawks this season, reaching base on over half of his trips to the plate.
The Jayhawks will look to showcase their development as they kick off the Snowbird Classic at 1 p.m. Thursday at North Charlotte Regional Park.

Track and field prepares for Big 12 Championships
GJ MELIA
@gimelia
The Kansas men and women's track and field teams are set to head up to Ames, Iowa for the Big 12 Indoor Championships after having last week off.
Before last week, the Jayhawks took part in competitive meets in Ames and Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb. 13-14. Head coach Stanley Redwine was content with performances and said the meets were solid preparation for the conference meet this weekend.
"The competition was great, and that gave us a better reality of where we really stood not just within in our league, but within the nation," Redwine said. "We did have some people that did extremely well, and some areas that showed that we need to continue to get better."
For the athletes who competed in Ames, Redwine said familiarity with the facility could help them this
weekend. Redwine also said the extra week to prepare will give the athletes and coaches time to evaluate film and figure out what the athlete needs to focus on specifically in their training.
"Each athlete may need different things in order to get them (fully prepared)." Redwine said. "If you're a stronger athlete and you need speed work, then we'll focus on the speed work, but not so much that it's going to tire you out."
Kansas is able to take 26 athletes on both the men's and women's teams for a total of 52 to compete on Friday and Saturday. The teams of 26 athletes will be announced this afternoon.
Friday will get underway with the majority of the pentathlon and heptathlon events, beginning at 10 a.m. with the women's 60-meter hurdles. The pentathletes and heptathletes will have the track until 3 p.m., concluding their day with the women's 800-meter run.
The field events begin at
3 p.m. also, as the women's weight throw and pole vault athletes look for their shot at a Big 12 Championship. Both the men's and women's mile will start the day for the track events. Friday will end with the men's and women's finals in the 5000-meters and the distance medley relay.
Saturday will be essentially the same format as Friday, with final events instead of preliminaries throughout the day. The meet will close with the 4x400 meter relays at 5:10 p.m., followed by the awards ceremony at 6 p.m.
This is the third year in a row and seventh time overall the Lied Recreation Center of Iowa State will host the Big 12 Championships.
Last year Oklahoma State grabbed the team title on the men's side, while Texas claimed its sixth women's Big 12 title. In 2013, Texas took home the men's team title and the Kansas women won their lone team Big 12 Championship.

No.19 Baylor upsets No.12 Iowa State 79-70
LUKE MEREDITH
Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Taurine Prince scored 20 points and 19th-ranked Baylor upset No. 12 Iowa State on the road 79-70 for its third straight win Wednesday night.
The Bears (21-7, 9-6 Big 12) shot 14 of 26 from threepoint range,becoming the first team other than Kansas to win in Ames since 2012.
Baylor hit five straight three's late in the second half, the last two by Prince, to take a 72-66 lead with 4:41 left. The Bears held Iowa State to just four points in the final 6:26.
Jameel McKay had a career-high 21 points for the Cyclones (20-7, 10-5), who are now a game behind the first place Jayhawks in the
Iowa State and Baylor staged one of the best games in the Big 12 this season back on Jan. 14. The Bears squandered a 28-11 lead, but rallied for a 74-73 win on Kenny Chery's jumper with four seconds left.
The rematch was in doubt until the Bears got rolling from beyond the arc.
Bryce Dejean-Jones gave the Cyclones a 50-48 lead by leaping over a foot above the rim for a spectacular put-back dunk, and Georges Niang found McKay for an alley-oop dunk pushed the edge to 60-54 with 8:28 left.
But Baylor held Iowa State to just four points in the final 6:26, and its hot streak helped the Bears sweep the Cyclones for the first time.
Chery had 15 points and seven assists for the Bears.
Niang had 14 points and Matt Thomas scored 13 for Iowa State.
Big 12 with just three games to play.
TIP-INS
Iowa State: This was the first loss to Baylor at home in 13 tries for the Cyclones. Dustin Hogue committed three turnovers in the first four minutes of the second half.
Baylor: The Bears were 7 of 13 on three s in the first half but just 3-of-7 from the line. They led 40-37 at halftime. Coach Scott Drew used all of his second-half timeouts in less than 12 minutes.

Kansas looks to hook the Longhorns on Saturday
Junior Perry Ellis lines up between two Kansas State players during a free throw during Monday's game in Manhattan. Saturday, Kansas will host Texas for College Gameday.
Junior forward Perry Ellis has recorded 20-plus points in back-to-back games. Ellis has led the way for Kansas recently and will look to have a strong performance against Texas. Ellis scored 14 points in Kansas' 75-62 victory against the Longhorns earlier this season. Ellis now leads Kansas in scoring with 14 points per game and also leads the team with seven rebounds per contest.
Following an away loss to Kansas State on Monday night, Kansas will host Texas at home this Saturday for College Gameday. The Jayhawks are currently atop the Big 12 by only half a game, with three games remainin-

Ine Jayhawks have been struggling as of late and need to right the ship if they are to win the Big 12 for the 11th straight season. Next up, Kansas will host West Virginia at home on Tuesday, March 3.
Taylor has led Texas in scoring this season, averaging 11.2 points per game on 40 percent shooting from the field and adding a team-high 16 assists. Turner averages
Kansas defeated Texas the last time the two teams played on College Gameday. Mario Chalmers' number was retired at halftime, following a speech reflecting on his time at Kansas.
Texas guard Isaiah Taylor recorded 23 points in the team's previous matchup on 8-of-17 shooting. Taylor was 7-of-8 from the free-throw line while only turning the ball over one time. Freshman phenom Myles Turner struggled against Kansas, fouling with only eight points.
Sophomore guard Brannen Greene has struggled recently as well, as he has only hit two threes in his four previous games. Greene will need to heat up from behind the arc if Kansas is to succeed in March.
Texas has lost three games in a row and has dropped seven of its past 10 games, coming into play with a 17-11 record and a 6-9 Big 12 mark. The Longhorns have been virtually eliminated from the Big 12 regular season title race.
12. 1 points and a team-high 4.3 assists, as well. Mason has struggled recently after having scored double-digit points in 19 straight games.
11. 2 points and a team-high 6.5 rebounds. He also leads the team with 74 blocks.

KANSAS TIPOFF
JEFFREY KAPLAN
@jkap22
AT A GLANCE
Mason leads the team in assists (4) and is second in points (12). As the unquestionable leader of this team, Mason will need to keep moving the ball around the floor and make the Texas defense tired. Dissecting the Texas zone will prove that Mason will excel in this game. Quick passes after sharp drives by Mason will make for the easiest and most consistent points for the Jayhawks to wear down the zone and minds of the Longhorns.
The Jayhawks come home for two important Big 12 games as the regular season winds down. After a tough loss at Kansas State, the Jayhawks are focused to keep the Big 12 trophy in Lawrence and shut down Texas' chance at spoiling any of those chances. The Jayhawks have a half-game lead over Iowa State in the current standings but must be locked in to get this win against Texas on Saturday and to focus on the last two remaining games.
QUESTION MARK
Can big man Cliff Alexander stay on the floor?
PLAYER TO WATCH
Alexander will be extremely important for the matchup against the Longhorns on Saturday. Described as the biggest frontcourt in the Big 12, Alexander need to be up to the task to guard both Miles Turner and Cameron Ridley and stay out of foul trouble. Serving as the biggest body on the Jayhawk lineup, he and Landen Lucas will need to step up big on Saturday to not let the Longhorns dominate the paint with easy points and rebounds.

Kansas is currently on a 22-game win streak at home.
2 Kansas is a projected No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The whole Jayhawk team can get off to a strong start and win the battle on the boards. The Jayhawks are going to need to out-rebound the Longhorns to separate themselves on the scoreboard. Getting off to a strong start and pushing the ball down the floor at a quick pace will set the tone for the game and take the Longhorns out of the game.

PROJECTED STARTERS
SAN FRANCISCO JUNE 2015
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guards Selden seems to be playing better at home than on the road recently. Averaging 11.2 points per game in conference games at home, Selden looks to improve his three-point shot and become more of a centerpiece of the Jayhawk offense. Keep an eye out for Selden to dish the ball off to anyone else near the hoop as he delivers the second most assists on the team.
★★★☆☆
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard
Frank Mason in, sophomore, guard With a weak show in Kansas State, Mason aims to redeem himself back on home turf. If Mason can produce multiple assists along with consistent scoring, he will pose as the biggest dual threat to the Longhorns. Watch for Mason to push the ball, break down Texas zone and keep its big men always on their toes.
★★★★★
ALEXANDER BURKE
Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard
With the exception of the game against TCU, Oubre has proved himself as the man to guard when the Jayhawks are at home. Since being named a starter, Oubre has produced double digits in all but two of his home starts. Oubre is top three on the team in steals and rebounds, making him an important piece to the Jayhawks' winning formula.
★★★☆
JOHN M. KING
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Ellis tied his season high scoring total with 24 points against Kansas State. Ellis has consistently scored in double digits in 11 of the Jayhawks' last 12 games, as well as grabbed an average of nearly eight rebounds in those twelve games. Getting Ellis going fast will be the key to breaking down Texas and wearing down the zone.
TEXAS (17-11, 6-9)
★★★★★
CARLTON JOHNSON
Cliff Alexander, freshman, forward
Alexander is coming off of a brutal scoreless game at K-State. Still a starter, Alexander needs to find ways to set screens and roll to the hoop for easy layups or dunks to be effective. Foul trouble comes easily and often for Alexander, but as he's the second leading rebounder on the team, the Jayhawks need to get as many minutes out of Alexander as possible.
★★☆☆★
PROJECTED STARTERS
Isajah Taylor, sophomore, guard
Isaiah Taylor will not shy away from contact on his way to the basket and consistently gets himself to the foul line three to four times a game.Taylor is also turnover-prone, averaging 2.5 a game to 4.4 assists. Against Kansas, Taylor finished with 23 points.
★★★☆☆
Kendal Yancy, sophomore, guard
The 6-foot-3 guard is the lone change to the starting lineup used in the last matchup with Kansas. His breakout performance came against Iowa State, where he scored 29 points on 6-of-9 three-point shooting. Yancy shoots 33.3 percent from deep on the year and is an 80.6 percent foul-shooter.
★★★☆☆
BASKETBALL
Jonathan Holmes, senior, forward
Jontahl Holmes, senior, 10-2
Jekyll and Hyde-like, Holmes will score 20-plus points one night, only to follow up with a goose egg the next. Against Kansas, Holmes scored 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting. In all, Holmes averages 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
CARLTON
★★☆☆
Connor Lammert, junior, forward
Lammert is not a major scoring threat, but he shoots well for his size. Don't be surprised to see him step back and fire away from deep. However, Lammert has been in a minor shooting slump as of late, making just two of his last nine.
★★★☆★
10
Cameron Ridley, junior, center
Ridley is a force down low, averaging 5.1 rebounds per game and blocking 1.6, the third most in the Big 12. His defensive prowess is not as daunting as last year, but fewer teams seem to be challenging him as his fouls are down

AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
CHAPTER 12
This past offseason, Texas, not Kansas, topped many pundits' preseason predictions. Texas returned the nucleus of its team and also added Myles Turner, while the Kansas lost the nation's most explosive player in the country and their best big man. Neither of those things matter now. Since its 75-62 loss to Kansas in Austin, on Jan. 24, when the Longhorns were ranked No. 17, Texas has lost six of its past nine games.
Myles Turner freshman, forward
The true freshman has not cracked the starting lineup, but that hasn't kept him from putting up solid numbers. In 22.6 minutes per game, Turner hits 46.6 percent of his shots, good for 11.2 points per game. He's a 30 percent three-point shooter and the league's fourth best free-throw shooter (83.2 percent). Turner also leads the Big 12 in blocked shots (2.64). Against Kansas, Turner finished with eight rebounds, five blocks and eight points, but fouled out.
QUESTION MARK
If not Perry Ellis, then who?
In Monday night's loss in Manhattan, the Jayhawks got all of three points from post players outside of Perry Ellis. Kansas State began double-teaming Ellis on the block, and nobody emerged after Ellis was neutralized. For Kansas to earn at least a share of the Big 12, it'll need auxiliary help from its bigs: Landen Lucas, Jamari Traylor and Cliff艾安. That will also be paramount in a few weeks for a satisfactory run — by Kansas' tournament — in the NCAA tournament.

BY THE NUMBERS
Texas holds the conference's worst turnover margin, forcing the least turnovers in the Big 12 (9.2) and turning the ball over the second most (13.3).
Texas is the fifth-ranked rebounding team in the nation, averaging 40.3.

As a team, Texas holds opposing teams to 36.6 percent shooting from the field, leading the Big 12.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Kansas doesn't value and protect the basketball. In the first meeting between these two teams, Kansas turned the ball over just three times, tied for the teewest in program history (1966 vs. Iowa State). Although it'd be a little wishful thinking to expect that kind of performance again, keeping the turnover number below 10 would help a backcourt that has had issues since the West Virginia loss.
